Democrats panicky as early voting data indicate mail-in balloting not matching narrative of massive blue wave

( Natural News ) Another election cycle , another set of left-wing narratives are being shattered .
In 2016 , Americans were told that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was going to wipe the floor with then-GOP nominee Donald Trump .
All of the polling showed that .
In fact , all of the polling for months had shown that .
It wasn ’ t even going to be close .
Trump should have just conceded ahead of time , the brainiacs in the ‘ mainstream media ’ told us .
Well , we all know how that turned out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collusion ’ narrative .
And the Ukraine hoax .
And now , here we are again , back to the future .
Throughout this current election cycle , Americans have been told for months that mind-addled former Vice President Joe Biden is going to wipe the floor with President Trump .
He leads by double digits in the polls .
All the battleground states that Trump wasn ’ t supposed to win in 2016 are now going to go back to the ‘ blue ’ column .
It ’ s not a matter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ votes necessary to win , but how big his final electoral vote tally will be .
Oh , and we know it ’ s going to be huge because , we ’ re told , Democrat voters by the legions are going to take advantage of early mail-in balloting to avoid exposure to COVID-19 ( while they continue to go to Walmart , the local grocery store , and as many massed riots and other ‘ non-violent ’ demonstrations as they can attend ) .
For weeks the narrative from the left has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to huge , early mail-in ballot leads and there won ’ t be any way Trump will be able to catch up with in-person balloting on Election Day .
Except that narrative is proving to be a lie as well .
Up until this weekend , the Democratic victory narrative has been this : Dems will outperform in early and mail in voting .
Republicans , leerier to mail-in voting , will opt for in person voting and will outperform on election day .
However , in the end , the in-person voting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ massive early voting numbers by the Democrats .
For one , because of COVID lockdowns on most college campuses , the student vote is suppressed , analysts have discovered .
For another , early voting in Texas is heavily Republican , destroying the notion of a blue Lone Star State .
For another , a general malaise and complacency exists among Democrats because they were told repeatedly their candidates have it in the bag .
Key counties in Michigan have shifted red .
Most notably , Kent and Oakland counties .
With a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ county in 2016 , overwhelming for Hillary Clinton , it ’ s nothing less than complete shock to see early voting highly favorable to Republicans .
With 25 % of the Michigan vote in , these results are absolutely terrifying to Democrats .
“ Even if we model the data using the most optimistic expectations for Democrats on Nov. 3rd , Republicans still outnumber in the end .
This data runs counter to their narrative for victory .
The data also suggests the polls are off–way off .
Furthermore , 25 % of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ set that can not be dismissed easily .
It ’ s a data set much larger than any Michigan poll , ” the outlet noted .
Fox News host Jesse Watters , in a segment for “ The Five ” on Monday , noted that the vote-by-mail is trending badly for Democrats , meaning Trump is heading for a landslide victory .

(Natural News) Another election cycle, another set of left-wing narratives are being shattered.
In 2016, Americans were told that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was going to wipe the floor with then-GOP nominee Donald Trump.
All of the polling showed that. In fact, all of the polling for months had shown that. It wasn’t even going to be close. Trump should have just conceded ahead of time, the brainiacs in the ‘mainstream media’ told us.
Well, we all know how that turned out.
Then came the fake ‘Russian collusion’ narrative. And the Ukraine hoax.
And now, here we are again, back to the future.
Throughout this current election cycle, Americans have been told for months that mind-addled former Vice President Joe Biden is going to wipe the floor with President Trump. He leads by double digits in the polls. All the battleground states that Trump wasn’t supposed to win in 2016 are now going to go back to the ‘blue’ column. It’s not a matter of Biden getting the required 270 electoral votes necessary to win, but how big his final electoral vote tally will be.
Oh, and we know it’s going to be huge because, we’re told, Democrat voters by the legions are going to take advantage of early mail-in balloting to avoid exposure to COVID-19 (while they continue to go to Walmart, the local grocery store, and as many massed riots and other ‘non-violent’ demonstrations as they can attend).
For weeks the narrative from the left has been this: Democrats will jump out to huge, early mail-in ballot leads and there won’t be any way Trump will be able to catch up with in-person balloting on Election Day.
Except that narrative is proving to be a lie as well.

Up until this weekend, the Democratic victory narrative has been this: Dems will outperform in early and mail in voting. Republicans, leerier to mail-in voting, will opt for in person voting and will outperform on election day. However, in the end, the in-person voting will not be enough to overcome the massive early voting numbers by the Democrats.
For one, because of COVID lockdowns on most college campuses, the student vote is suppressed, analysts have discovered. For another, early voting in Texas is heavily Republican, destroying the notion of a blue Lone Star State. For another, a general malaise and complacency exists among Democrats because they were told repeatedly their candidates have it in the bag.
Here’s a sampling, via TopTradeGuru:
Key counties in Michigan have shifted red. Most notably, Kent and Oakland counties. With a half a million votes cast in Oakland county in 2016, overwhelming for Hillary Clinton, it’s nothing less than complete shock to see early voting highly favorable to Republicans. With 25% of the Michigan vote in, these results are absolutely terrifying to Democrats.
“Even if we model the data using the most optimistic expectations for Democrats on Nov. 3rd, Republicans still outnumber in the end. This data runs counter to their narrative for victory. The data also suggests the polls are off–way off. Furthermore, 25% of the total data is a significant data set that cannot be dismissed easily. It’s a data set much larger than any Michigan poll,” the outlet noted.
There’s more.
Fox News host Jesse Watters, in a segment for “The Five” on Monday, noted that the vote-by-mail is trending badly for Democrats, meaning Trump is heading for a landslide victory.

investmentwatchblog--2020-10-22--Biden’s had quite a history of lashing out at reporters and voters

QUESTION ASKED : Biden Yelling at Reporters Is Okay ?
Over the weekend , CBS News producer Bo Erickson asked a very mild question on what is apparently supposed to be a forbidden topic , his family ’ s financial wheeling and dealing : “ Mr .
Biden , what is your response to the New York Post story about your son , sir ?
” Biden lashed out like the CBS guy was somehow from Fox News : “ I know you ’ d ask it .
I have no response .
It ’ s another smear campaign .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They ’ re the questions you always ask.
” This is remarkably similar to last fall , when Fox ’ s Peter Doocy dared to ask about Hunter Biden ’ s gigs : “ Mr .
Vice President , how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings ?
” Biden claimed : “ I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.
” That was implausible then , and it ’ s ridiculous now .
The New York Post report puts Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s client at Burisma , the corrupt Ukrainian oil company .
When Doocy continued , Biden yelled at him : “ Trump ’ s doing this because he knows I ’ ll beat him like a drum .
And he ’ s using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me.
” Biden claimed “ Everybody looked at this , and everybody ’ s looked at it and said there ’ s nothing there , ” and then yelled at Doocy “ Ask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ The right questions ” means never unspool a question about anything having to do with the Biden clan ’ s lucrative and suspicious lobbying based on their government connections .
Long before Biden started “ slowing down , ” he ’ s had quite a history of lashing out at reporters , most of whom who take it , because they ’ re Democratic Party operatives with bylines , and don ’ t want to upset their boss .
He ’ s also lashed at voters as well : ● Biden Snaps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ York Post Reports , Does Not Deny .
● How Joe Biden Gets Away With Calling A Voter A Fat , Dumb , Liar .
● Joe Biden and Kamala Harris deploy the Charlottesville hoax to stir up racial pain and anger .
● ‘ Classy : ’ Joe Biden Snaps At Reporter After Being Asked About Hunter ’ s Paternity Test .
● Bullying Biden Yells at Fox ’ s Doocy : ‘ Ask the Right Questions !
’ ● Biden Accused of Sexism After Remarks to Female Moderator .
● Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Video Proves Biden Wrong .
● Joe Biden Says There Are Three Genders ; Grabs Student ’ s Arm When She Asks ‘ What Are They ?
’ And these classics from the Obama era : ● VP Biden ’ s Office Apologizes For Locking Reporter In Storage Closet During Fundraiser .
And of course , ground zero , from 1988 : Why Joe Biden ’ s First Campaign for President Collapsed After Just 3 Months .
Last month , the New York Daily News quoted Biden as saying “ ‘ Presidents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and lead by example as well as make clear exactly where they stand .
Getting down in the gutter where the president does…that ’ s not the job of the president , ’ Biden said .
‘ If we were behind a barn somewhere it would be a different thing.
’ ” Between Biden ’ s evasiveness over the court packing question and anger at both journalists and reporters , he ’ s failed at both of his self-stated goals .

QUESTION ASKED: Biden Yelling at Reporters Is Okay?
Over the weekend, CBS News producer Bo Erickson asked a very mild question on what is apparently supposed to be a forbidden topic, his family’s financial wheeling and dealing: “Mr. Biden, what is your response to the New York Post story about your son, sir?”
Biden lashed out like the CBS guy was somehow from Fox News: “I know you’d ask it. I have no response. It’s another smear campaign. It’s right up your alley. They’re the questions you always ask.”
This is remarkably similar to last fall, when Fox’s Peter Doocy dared to ask about Hunter Biden’s gigs: “Mr. Vice President, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings?” Biden claimed: “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.” That was implausible then, and it’s ridiculous now. The New York Post report puts Joe Biden in a meet-and-greet with Hunter’s client at Burisma, the corrupt Ukrainian oil company.
When Doocy continued, Biden yelled at him: “Trump’s doing this because he knows I’ll beat him like a drum. And he’s using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me.” Biden claimed “Everybody looked at this, and everybody’s looked at it and said there’s nothing there,” and then yelled at Doocy “Ask the right questions!”
Translation: “The right questions” means never unspool a question about anything having to do with the Biden clan’s lucrative and suspicious lobbying based on their government connections.

Facebook and Twitter Cross a Line Far More Dangerous Than What They Censor
Quote: State censorship is not the only kind of censorship. Private-sector repression of speech and thought, particularly in the internet era, can be as dangerous and consequential. Imagine, for instance, if these two Silicon Valley giants united with Google to declare: henceforth we will ban all content that is critical of President Trump and/or the Republican Party, but will actively promote criticisms of Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Would anyone encounter difficultly understanding why such a decree would constitute dangerous corporate censorship? Would Democrats respond to such a policy by simply shrugging it off on the radical libertarian ground that private corporations have the right to do whatever they want? To ask that question is to answer it.
To begin with, Twitter and particularly Facebook are no ordinary companies. Facebook, as the owner not just of its massive social media platform but also other key communication services it has gobbled up such as Instagram and WhatsApp, is one of the most powerful companies ever to exist, if not the most powerful. In June, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law launched an investigation into the consolidated power of Facebook and three other companies — Google, Amazon and Apple — and just last week issued a sweeping report which, as Ars Technica explained, found:
Quote: Facebook outright “has monopoly power in the market for social networking,” and that power is “firmly entrenched and unlikely to be eroded by competitive pressure” from anyone at all due to “high entry barriers—including strong network effects, high switching costs, and Facebook’s significant data advantage—that discourage direct competition by other firms to offer new products and services.”
In his New York Times op-ed last October, the left-wing expert on monopoly power Matt Stoller described Facebook and Google as “global monopolies sitting astride public discourse,” and recounted how bipartisan policy and legal changes designed to whittle away antitrust protections have bestowed the two tech giants with “a radical centralization of power over the flow of information.” And he warns that this unprecedented consolidation of control over our discourse is close to triggering “the collapse of journalism and democracy.”

There have been considerable changes in 2020, just from a year ago. We have watched the markets fall and rise. Many have wondered what tomorrow will bring. More questions than answers. More uncertainty. More volatility. But one is for certain, our currency will lose value against real goods thanks to reckless policies, designed to enrich a small group at the top.

Looking at Twitter there seems to be a plethora of news outlets running the totally out of context and fabricated Giuliani story, but they have all remained so silent about a factual story of corruption involving the Bidens.

‘BORAT’ Sequel Captures Rudy on Film Flirting with ‘Russian Reporter’ in Hotel Bedroom…

Far Left MotherJones Reporter Has Watched the Rudy Giuliani
Borat Scene, Here’s What They Saw

I have now seen the scene with Rudy Giuliani and though it is creepy for other reasons it is being described on twitter in a false way. He does not have his hand down his pants in a sexual way. He is tucking his shirt back in after she untucks it removing his mic. — Ben Dreyfuss (@bendreyfuss) October 21, 2020
Also the bat thing is a joke she prompts and he just politely agrees. — Ben Dreyfuss (@bendreyfuss) October 21, 2020
The scene is confusingly edited for comedic purposes which makes sense since this is a comedy film and not a 60 Minutes expose. It would be good to keep that in mind in light of the flattening of media where everything can seem like everything else. — Ben Dreyfuss (@bendreyfuss) October 21, 2020
since you've seen it – does rudy know he's being interviewd by a "15" year old? — Shannon Fenner (@ShannonFenner3) October 21, 2020
No. He doesn’t learn that until Borat storms in and shouts. — Ben Dreyfuss (@bendreyfuss) October 21, 2020
GIULIANI: I was tucking in my shirt…
*MAJOR UPDATE BELOW RUDY’S COMMENTS*
(1) The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment. At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar. — Rudy W. Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) October 21, 2020
(2) In fact, the NY Post today reports "it looks to me like an exaggeration through editing." As soon as I realized it was a set up I called the police, which has been noted in THR article on July 8th. — Rudy W. Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) October 21, 2020
(3) This is an effort to blunt my relentless exposure of the criminality and depravity of Joe Biden and his entire family. Deadline Hollywood reports CAA had a distribution screening in September where there was no mention of the scene holding any importance. — Rudy W. Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) October 21, 2020
(4) We are preparing much bigger dumps off of the hard drive from hell, of which Joe Biden will be unable to defend or hide from. I have the receipts. — Rudy W. Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) October 21, 2020

U.S. national debt has on the average doubled every 8 years since Reagan assumed the presidency in 1981.

The article also mentioned how the NYPD co-developed Elucd , a police sentiment company ; and that is where this story begins to show signs of localized sentiment surveillance .

“ Earlier this month , the NYPD claimed that agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation were being stationed in Brooklyn police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was part of “ Operation Safe Streets , ” a supposedly new program to allow law enforcement to pursue weapons charges in federal court , avoiding the state ’ s legal system and recently passed bail reforms.

When it comes to police sentiment questionnaire ’ s , there is a lot more going on than law enforcement is telling the public .
Hollywood ’ s disconnect from the reality of what is happening to America ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being turned into government spy agencies is abominable .

Blue Bloods is how America’s What you will never see on an episode of theis how America’s largest police force , the New York Police Department (NYPD) tracks people’s sentiments.
A company called Elucd began tracking public sentiment at three major police department’s after a 2018, 1 million dollar investment by Omidyar Network and Y Combinator
Wired article titled “How a ‘Sentiment Meter’ Helps Cops Understand Their Precincts” explained how some of the largest police department’s in the country: the NYPD, the Los Angeles Police Department and the Chicago Police Department were giving police officers monthly “trust scores.”
In April, the NYPD informally introduced its public opinion monitor, also known as the “sentiment meter,” during CompStat, the weekly meetings in which top brass interrogate precinct commanders about crime trends. Precincts now receive a monthly “trust score” along with rankings that measure overall satisfaction with police performance and how safe residents feel.
The article also mentioned how the NYPD co-developed Elucd, a police sentiment company; and that is where this story begins to show signs of localized sentiment surveillance.
VentureBeat A recent article revealed how the NYPD and Elucd have spent $3 million in public funds to collect data from over 250,000 New Yorkers — including 44,185 in 2020.
“Elucd uses targeted digital advertising to “send” surveys in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Russian to users on a range of websites and social media platforms, through traditional landline calls, and over 50,000 smartphone apps — including Candy Crush and WeatherBug. The company draws on U.S. Census American Community Service data for statistics on locations and adjusts recipients of its survey to obtain representative samples.”
As VentureBeat explained, the NYPD and Elucd can use this information to target specific blocks or buildings that complain about excessive use of force or police harassment.
“Instead of developing this invasive software, the NYPD could have just listened to the countless New Yorkers who demonstrated to defund the police. It’s Orwellian to think of the NYPD building out a map, block by block, of how the public views police. And it’s indefensible for the NYPD to try to hide records about this mass surveillance from the public,” STOP executive director Albert Fox Cahn said.
S.T.O.P.’s lawsuit warns that law enforcement could use Elucd’s ‘sentiment meter’ to target specific people or worse.
“Invasive data collection undermines public trust and safety. By creating a heat map indicating that people in a certain area are distrustful of the police, the NYPD is developing a system that could lead to an increase in unnecessary police stops and interactions, unfair over-policing based on discrimination in these neighborhoods, and the potential for retaliation against people in areas the NYPD, through the Sentiment Meter, deems the enemies of law enforcement—all without any public scrutiny, awareness, or oversight.”
Imagine downloading one of the 50,000 apps that post, police survey questions on your smartphone. Now imagine being asked to answer a local police survey questionnaire in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Russian once a month.
What happens to people who respond negatively to questions like “Do the police in my neighborhood treat local residents with respect?” and “How safe do you feel in your neighborhood?”
What do you think will happen? Could they be targeted by ICE or local law enforcement for responding negatively?
Don’t forget, Elucd was co-developed by a police department with close ties to FBI and the DHS.
Gothamist explains, As the
“Earlier this month, the NYPD claimed that agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation were being stationed in Brooklyn police precincts. According to NY1, it was part of “Operation Safe Streets,” a supposedly new program to allow law enforcement to pursue weapons charges in federal court, avoiding the state’s legal system and recently passed bail reforms.”
The NYPD is in so deep with the Feds it will make your stomach turn.
Newsweek This past July, reported that acting DHS Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli called on NYPD officers to join their ranks.
“Come join our team, where you will be appreciated by your political leadership instead of being belittled and treated like you are the problem instead of part of the solution,” Cuccinelli said.
When it comes to police sentiment questionnaire’s, there is a lot more going on than law enforcement is telling the public.
Why would 15 police departments and city governments use Elcud’s questionnaires to gauge people’s sentiments if they were 100% anonymous? And why would the largest police department in America spend $3 million dollars developing a public sentiment meter company if it could not actually identify and flag individual people or areas?
Hollywood’s disconnect from the reality of what is happening to America’s law enforcement and how they are being turned into government spy agencies is abominable.


investmentwatchblog--2020-10-23--Clarification on Shutting Down Any Site They Want

The reason these companies are censoring everything that is anti-Gates/Schwab/Soros & UN is that under the law they can .
Your freedom of speech is ONLY applicable if the government is doing something to you .
These sites from Facebook , Twitter , Google ( YouTube ) , Microsoft , etc , etc , etc .
– are PRIVATE companies .
Their shareholders are participating in a political coup that they have no say in whatsoever and are against their own self-interest and robbing their children of the freedom they once knew growing up .
The next step is to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under the law , THEY CAN DO IT !
They can even block a site if it moves offshore to get away from them .
In reality , these high-tech companies can be promised a piece of the action of every transaction and they will deny that they were ever “ told ” by any government agency or official to censor any opposition .
What they are doing is outright against every principle of a free society .
Their boards have become a disgrace to humanity .
The next step will be to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blocking access to the internet .
That can happen regardless of who wins the election .
Congress has the power to change the law .
As long as they do as told behind the curtain , they are the new UNTOUCHABLES .

They are violating every principle of human rights no different than the worst dictators in history .
“ Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people , ” Even the BLM movement are fools .
They are protesting in cities but the immunity was created by the Supreme Court .
No city can eliminate that .
However , Congress could pass a law in 15 minutes which would remove the immunity and make police accountable .
They do not because they want the violence so they can say vote for them .
Nothing @ @ @ @ @ @

Their shareholders are participating in a political coup that they have no say in whatsoever and are against their own self-interest and robbing their children of the freedom they once knew growing up.
The next step is to UNPLUG any site they disagree with and under the law, THEY CAN DO IT! They can even block a site if it moves offshore to get away from them. In reality, these high-tech companies can be promised a piece of the action of every transaction and they will deny that they were ever “told” by any government agency or official to censor any opposition. What they are doing is outright against every principle of a free society. Their boards have become a disgrace to humanity.
The next step will be to unplug sites they do not agree with blocking access to the internet. That can happen regardless of who wins the election. Congress has the power to change the law. As long as they do as told behind the curtain, they are the new UNTOUCHABLES.

The United Nations International Declaration of Human Rights includes Free Speech. They are violating every principle of human rights no different than the worst dictators in history.
“Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,”
Even the BLM movement are fools. They are protesting in cities but the immunity was created by the Supreme Court. No city can eliminate that. However, Congress could pass a law in 15 minutes which would remove the immunity and make police accountable. They do not because they want the violence so they can say vote for them. Nothing is ever what it seems!

I know what people will say. One death is too many, but when you see the amount of destruction/violence that has been done, it’s obvious that these protesters actually think cops are just going out there every single day and killing people for no reason. I truly don’t understand why people are destroying shit over this very low number of police incidents if they know these numbers are real. Brandon Straka destroyed this BLM activist.

investmentwatchblog--2020-10-23--GOLD: One LAST DIP LIKELY Then Major Upleg To New Highs

With a collapse in the dollar and hyperinflation now inevitable , it is clear that the dollar price of gold will eventually skyrocket , and when I say “ eventually ” I am not talking about in 5 or 10 years time .
It is already starting to accelerate away to the upside and that means that the current dip has presented another buying opportunity , not just in gold itself but in silver and precious metals stocks too .
On gold ’ s latest 13-year chart we can see that the giant Bowl pattern has already driven a breakout @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this context the minor reaction of recent weeks is a perfectly normal development that unwinds the overbought condition somewhat and rebalances sentiment .
The Bowl pattern can also be described as a Cup , and very often a “ Handle ” forms to complement the Cup before further significant gains are made , which is a period of consolidation that proportion suggests could last a year or two .
Should such a Handle now form it would clearly be a source of major annoyance and frustration to investors in the sector as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go nowhere for a year or two .
However , things are deteriorating at such a rapid rate that it is considered most unlikely that gold would get bogged down in this manner .
The ongoing exponential rise in money creation to support a collapsing economy that has been made worse by the virus hysteria and disproportionate reaction of governments around the world means that the purchasing power of fiat most everywhere will decline at an accelerating rate , and since gold is “ real money ” that holds its value no matter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ price to compensate .
What could therefore happen instead is that , rather than meander around for ages making a Handle , the steeply rising Bowl boundary generates a dramatic slingshot move higher in gold , which the current setup certainly makes possible , especially as it has just broken out to new highs .
Before leaving the 13-year chart note the strong volume driving the advance up the right side of the Bowl and the strong volume indicators all of which indicates that a major bull market phase has begun , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is nothing to stop it .
It is also interesting to observe how the freak March plunge , when everything was tanking , was contained and reversed by the Bowl boundary .
On the 3-year chart we can see that , apart from the freak drop in March when everything tanked , gold has advanced within the confines of the parallel channel shown .
This channel shows us why gold ’ s advance stopped when it did early in August as it had arrived at the upper channel boundary , and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back in buying territory , although it could dip back again to the $ 1850 area short term before another major upleg starts , as we will see on its 8-month chart shortly .
Only in the event of the stock market dropping hard again , as in March would be likely to see a more serious breach of the lower channel boundary , and that would likely be swiftly reversed as the Fed would quickly come riding to the rescue with trillions of newly created dollars .
On gold ’ s latest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ although it looks pretty well corrected from its early August highs , there is room for a little more reaction back to either of the nearby support levels shown and towards its rising 200-day moving average before the corrective phase is done , which the recent weak minor uptrend channel that formed following the breakdown from the Triangle suggests is quite likely , as it looks like a small bear Flag .
If gold does react back as shown on the chart it will be viewed as presenting a “ back up the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aligned moving averages and strong Accumulation line certainly bode well for the medium and long term .
We are not bothering to look at the COT chart in this update since it is in middling ground , and gives no clear indication one way or the other .

We can also see on this chart that GDX ( and thus precious metals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from its early August peak , although as with gold itself , the pattern that has formed over the past several weeks looks like a small bear Flag that may lead to renewed but modest decline probably back into the support above $ 36 and possibly a little lower towards the 200-day moving average .

investmentwatchblog--2020-10-23--The Trillion-Dollar F-35 Fighter Program Does Not Make Americans Safer

Overspending on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program does not make America any safer .
The president ’ s military spending increase is based on the false premise that more spending equals more security .
More spending may even make America less safe by spending us into bankruptcy .
The F-35 program is expected to cost well over $ 1 trillion when it is fully operational and deployed .
That massive investment will serve to enrich government contractors while giving interventionist politicians an offensive weapon of war .
This program was created as a “ too big to fail ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ process of making these fighter jets , they will have spent so much money that they can ’ t back away .
The F-35 program is a bad deal for the taxpayer while promoting a policy that will make these same taxpayers less safe .
It appears that the massive amount put into the program has purchased a lemon of a jet .
The program has been troubled from day one and is currently experiencing some padding of the contract .
On September 11 , 2020 , Bloomberg reported , “ the Pentagon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ F-35 falls short by as much as $ 10 billion , the military ’ s independent cost analysis unit has concluded , a new indication that the complex fighter jet may be too costly to operate and maintain.
” The plan for the F-35 for the next five years was an estimated “ $ 78 billion for research and development , jet procurement , operations and maintenance and military construction dedicated to the F-35 built by Lockheed Martin Corp. ” This $ 10 billion mistake is going to fall on the shoulders of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem with this massive spending on one defense program is that it gives interventionist politicians the tools of war that they desire .
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program contains a number of versions of a stealth fighter jet that can engage other aircraft and conduct military strikes .
The goal is to use these aircraft as the primary fighter jets for the air force , navy , and marines .
These can be used as offensive weapons in the hands of politicians who desire to engage in the endless war policies that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attack .
This is a very expensive program that will not provide $ 1 trillion in security for American citizens .
Typical with government defense contracting , there have been numerous problems that have shifted significant increased cost onto the Pentagon .
Defense News reported recently that the contractor was trying to stick the taxpayer with the cost of spare parts for the F-35 .
According to Blomberg , the taxpayer received more bad news : “ the F-35 ’ s total ‘ life cycle ’ cost is estimated at $ 1.727 trillion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ insane amount of taxpayer cash and “ $ 1.266 trillion is for operations and support of the advanced plane that ’ s a flying supercomputer.
” When pressed by Bloomberg , a Pentagon spokesman bragged that a Pentagon “ cost analysis office projects that the average procurement cost for an F-35 , including its engines , is dropping from a planned $ 109 million to $ 101.3 million in 2012 dollars.
” Only in Washington would a bureaucrat brag about ripping off American citizens by just under $ 8 million less as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support this flawed program no matter how much it costs and actually advocate spending more taxpayer cash on it , Americans want that $ 1.7 trillion spent at home and not on a transnational defense spending program to defend other nations .
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is not worthy of a massive investment by the taxpayer when it does not make America safer while also being a poorly negotiated government contract that has stuck the taxpayer with a massive bill .

Overspending on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program does not make America any safer. The president’s military spending increase is based on the false premise that more spending equals more security. More spending may even make America less safe by spending us into bankruptcy.
The F-35 program is expected to cost well over $1 trillion when it is fully operational and deployed. That massive investment will serve to enrich government contractors while giving interventionist politicians an offensive weapon of war. This program was created as a “too big to fail” scheme where once the government starts the process of making these fighter jets, they will have spent so much money that they can’t back away. The F-35 program is a bad deal for the taxpayer while promoting a policy that will make these same taxpayers less safe.
It appears that the massive amount put into the program has purchased a lemon of a jet. The program has been troubled from day one and is currently experiencing some padding of the contract. On September 11, 2020, Bloomberg reported, “the Pentagon’s five-year budget plan for the F-35 falls short by as much as $10 billion, the military’s independent cost analysis unit has concluded, a new indication that the complex fighter jet may be too costly to operate and maintain.” The plan for the F-35 for the next five years was an estimated “$78 billion for research and development, jet procurement, operations and maintenance and military construction dedicated to the F-35 built by Lockheed Martin Corp.” This $10 billion mistake is going to fall on the shoulders of an already overtaxed taxpayer.
One big problem with this massive spending on one defense program is that it gives interventionist politicians the tools of war that they desire. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program contains a number of versions of a stealth fighter jet that can engage other aircraft and conduct military strikes. The goal is to use these aircraft as the primary fighter jets for the air force, navy, and marines. These can be used as offensive weapons in the hands of politicians who desire to engage in the endless war policies that have left the United States vulnerable to attack. This is a very expensive program that will not provide $1 trillion in security for American citizens.
Typical with government defense contracting, there have been numerous problems that have shifted significant increased cost onto the Pentagon. Defense News reported recently that the contractor was trying to stick the taxpayer with the cost of spare parts for the F-35. According to Blomberg, the taxpayer received more bad news: “the F-35’s total ‘life cycle’ cost is estimated at $1.727 trillion in current dollars.” That is an insane amount of taxpayer cash and “$1.266 trillion is for operations and support of the advanced plane that’s a flying supercomputer.” When pressed by Bloomberg, a Pentagon spokesman bragged that a Pentagon “cost analysis office projects that the average procurement cost for an F-35, including its engines, is dropping from a planned $109 million to $101.3 million in 2012 dollars.” Only in Washington would a bureaucrat brag about ripping off American citizens by just under $8 million less as a deal for the taxpayer.
