Perhaps like the incoming tide .

Even the side-effects were often beneficial .
They sent the Federal deficit skyrocketing ( Bill Clinton ’ s reforms would have eventually paid off the debt ) – which gave them an excuse to cut spending on the peons .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ I kick myself for not seeing this .

A common rebuttal : what about Fox News and Breitbart !
Fox speaks mostly to elderly white conservatives .
Per Pew Research , 70 % of its audience is over 50 , 37 % is over 65 – vs. 37 % and 20 % for the New York Times .
As for Breitbart , ask your neighbors and co-workers who are not conservatives if they rely on it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This became a winning strategy , as they successfully indoctrinated much of the educated young in Leftist dogma ( they will run this nation ) – doubly so those from the elite universities ( who will lead America ) , and especially those with advanced degrees ( who will control America ) .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s institutions – public , private , and non-profit – like Rommel did France in 1940 .
Their march to winning began with the rise of transgender rights from obscurity to among the highest in a few years ( without any intervention by democratic institutions ) .

, indoctrination of employees , discriminatory hiring by race and gender ) .

Much like France in 1940 , the lack of opposition is a key factor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ formulate an effective response , short- or long-term .

The former takes many forms .
Dreams of a Trump landslide .

Here is a brief explanation of why 2020 has brought historic changes and a description of their nature. Shorter version: how and why the Left is winning, sweeping across America like Rommel did France in 1940. Perhaps like the incoming tide.
There are decades where nothing happens. There are weeks where decades happen.
— Paraphrase of a sentence from Marx’s letter to Engels, 9 April 1863.
2020 has seen the arrival of things I have long predicted. It seemed unnecessary and pointless to do more than document these events, which I have done daily on Facebook and Twitter. The comments to these and off-line conversations have shown my belief to be false. This should not have surprised me. Most of my successful predictions have been regarded as daft even as they were coming true.
So this post gives a summary of our situation, which further posts will develop in detail. What you will not get are forecasts. We have sailed off my map. Every week’s news surprises me.
Why the Left is winning
“Give me the child for the first seven years and I will give you the man.”
– True if exaggerated (7 is probably too young). About the Jesuits, attributed to Voltaire.
Beginning in roughly 1970, the Left and Right adopted opposite long-term strategies.
The Right planned wisely, using their wealth and power to build a political machine – gaining the power to reverse much of the New Deal. They cut taxes for the rich, slashed regulations (e.g., regulating labor, the environment, anti-trust), attacked unions, expanded corporate subsidies (extending patents and copyrights, more defense spending, etc.). This looked brilliant for a while, as short-term plans often do. Even the side-effects were often beneficial. They sent the Federal deficit skyrocketing (Bill Clinton’s reforms would have eventually paid off the debt) – which gave them an excuse to cut spending on the peons.
The Left adopted the opposite strategy. I kick myself for not seeing this. They strengthened their hold on institutions they largely controlled, such as universities and the press.
A common rebuttal: what about Fox News and Breitbart! Fox speaks mostly to elderly white conservatives. Per Pew Research, 70% of its audience is over 50, 37% is over 65 – vs. 37% and 20% for the New York Times. As for Breitbart, ask your neighbors and co-workers who are not conservatives if they rely on it – or have even heard of it.
This became a winning strategy, as they successfully indoctrinated much of the educated young in Leftist dogma (they will run this nation) – doubly so those from the elite universities (who will lead America), and especially those with advanced degrees (who will control America). This seems likely to become the classic example of winning the Long Game: when the clash begins, they have already won. I cannot imagine a successful counter to this over any useful time horizon.
Sweeping across America
The Left has swept across America’s institutions – public, private, and non-profit – like Rommel did France in 1940. Their march to winning began with the rise of transgender rights from obscurity to among the highest in a few years (without any intervention by democratic institutions).
In 2020 the Left reached critical momentum. Institutions bow before them, contributing accolades, money, and obedience (e.g., indoctrination of employees, discriminatory hiring by race and gender). Each month brings new rules for proper speech. I have been documenting this daily in Tweets and Facebook posts. A thousand small steps, with no slowing in sight. Or opposition.

The big picture
This is the culmination of interrelated long trends I have written about since 2003.
(1) The death of the Republic – The Consitution is dead in our hearts, an archaic relic that few believe in (details here and here). The Republic stumbles forward like a zombie while powerful elites contend over its ruins. America isn’t falling like the Roman Empire; it’s falling like the Roman Republic and for the same reason. We find the burden of self-government too great to bear.
(2) As Robert Heinlein predicted long ago, we are in the Crazy Years “Considerable technical advance during this period, accompanied by a gradual deterioration of mores, orientation, and social institutions, terminating in mass psychoses in the sixth decade, and the interregnum.” That is from his timeline of his future history stories; first published in Astounding Science Fiction, May 1940, later published as The Past through Tomorrow. We have entered a late stage of this: ClownWorld.
(3) Our institutions are falling like a row of dominoes. Our military can’t win wars. Our police wage a mad war on drugs, looting citizens through civil asset forfeiture. Many of our schools can’t teach their students the three R’s. Science is gripped by the replication crisis, a rot whose dimensions are far larger than most believe. Professional associations abandon their standards and obligation to protect us. Our major corporations are dying (Boeing is a typical example). Congress will do anything except govern. Etc.
What comes next, and after that?
Accurate forecasting is always difficult. Now it is probably impossible because it depends on us. There are no linear trends in society. What will we do as America’s post-WWII liberal values vanish like moths in a flame? Perhaps more extreme values will take the stage, as new values emerge from the Void. But such things are unpredictable.

HunterBiden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on U.S.Government Policy and Related Concerns
U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
U.S. Senate Committee on Finance Majority Staff Report
www.hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Ukraine%20Report_FINAL.pdf
The report, presented by by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) of the Senate Committee on Finance, was launched in August 2019 — prior to the impeachment controversy, and as the result of the “Henniges transaction,” in which a company tied to the Chinese state had bought an American company that makes “anti-vibration technologies with military applications.” One of the companies in the transaction was Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), a Chinese-funded investment company in which Hunter Biden owns a stake.

The report “details examples of extensive and complex financial transactions involving the Bidens” and notes that Hunter Biden “was not the only Biden who cashed in on Joe Biden’s vice presidency.” It also notes that Hunter Biden enjoyed Secret Service protection during extensive trips abroad, and that the protection continued for a few months after he joined Burisma.
It concludes:
The records acquired by the Committees show that Hunter Biden and his family were involved in a vast financial network that connected them to foreign nationals and foreign governments across the globe. Hunter Biden and Archer, in particular, formed significant and consistent financial relationships with the corrupt oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky during their time working for Burisma and their firms made millions of dollars from that association while Joe Biden was vice president and the public face of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy. Rosemont Seneca Thornton, an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, received $3.5 million in a wire transfer from Elena Baturina, who allegedly received illegal construction contracts from her husband, the former mayor of Moscow. Moreover, Archer’s apparent receipt of money for a car from Kenges Rakishev of Kazakhstan while Vice President Biden was in Kyiv is especially concerning in light of the timing. And finally, Biden and Archer’s work with Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime illustrate the deep financial connections that accelerated while his father was vice president and continued after he left office.
The report also notes that the vice president was made aware of the conflicts of interest that Hunter Biden’s Ukrainian role entailed, as was Secretary of State Kerry:
Former Secretary Kerry’s December 2019 denial of having any knowledge about Hunter Biden or Burisma is inconsistent with the evidence uncovered by the Committees. Kerry was briefed about Hunter Biden, Burisma and Heinz the day after Burisma announced Hunter Biden joined its board. Additionally, Secretary Kerry’s senior advisor sent him press clips and articles relating to Hunter Biden’s board membership. This appears to be yet another example of high- ranking Obama administration officials blatantly ignoring Hunter Biden’s association with Burisma.

Answer. Some advanced economies are beginning to have an uplift. The forecasts reached their worst point in May and June, and since then, the new forecasts are beginning to go up for the advanced economies. The problem is that the average of the developing world, except for China, is still getting worse in terms of the forecast. And that includes both the poorest nations and middle-income countries, many of them in Latin America.

The incredible decision by Twitter and Facebook to block access to a New York Post story about a cache of e-mails reportedly belonging to Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s son Hunter, with Twitter going so far as to lock the 200-year-old newspaper out of its own account for more than a week, continues to be a major underreported scandal.
The hypocrisy is mind-boggling. Imagine the reaction if that same set of facts involved The New York Times and any of its multitudinous unverifiable “exposés” from the last half-decade: from the similarly leaked “black ledger” story implicating Paul Manafort, to its later-debunked “repeated contacts with Russian intelligence” story, to its mountain of articles about the far more dubious Steele dossier.

The flow of information in the United States has become so politicized — bottlenecked by an increasingly brazen union of corporate press and tech platforms — that it’s become impossible for American audiences to see news about certain topics absent thickets of propagandistic contextualizing.

investmentwatchblog--2020-10-30--IS IT JUST ME, OR IS THE MEDIA NARRATIVE SHIFTING?

‘ People Are Going To Be Shocked ’ : Return of the ‘ Shy ’ Trump Voter ?
In 2016 , pollsters Arie Kapteyn and Robert Cahaly saw Trump coming .
In 2020 , they see polls again underestimating his support .
With Nov. 3 racing toward us , it can be tempting to see the 2020 election as a done deal .

But what if you shouldn ’ t trust the polls ?
In 2016 , months of national polls confidently showed Hillary Clinton ahead , and set many Americans up for a shock on Election Night , when the Electoral College tilted decisively in Trump ’ s favor .
Two pollsters who weren ’ t blindsided by this are Arie Kapteyn and Robert Cahaly .
Kapteyn , a Dutch economist who leads the USC ’ s Dornsife Center for Economic and Social Research , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gave Trump a 3-point lead heading into election day—which , Kapteyn notes , was wrong : Clinton won the popular vote by 2 points .
Cahaly , a Republican pollster with the Trafalgar Group , had preelection surveys that showed Trump nudging out Clinton in Pennsylvania , Michigan , Wisconsin , Florida and North Carolina—all of which he won .
This year , both men believe that polls could again be undercounting Trump ’ s support .
The reason is “ shy ” Trump voters—people reluctant to share their opinions for fear of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voter ” idea is thrown around a lot by both Trump supporters and Democratic skeptics , Kapteyn and Cahaly have specific insights into why , and how , Trump support might be going undetected .
For Cahaly , those votes are likely to make the difference again .
“ There ’ s a lot of hidden Trump votes out there , ” he says .
“ Will Biden win the popular vote ?
Probably .
I ’ m not even debating that .
But I think Trump is likely to have an Electoral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kapteyn described what his team at USC sees in its polls .
Beyond simply asking voters whether they support Biden or Trump , USC asks a “ social-circle ” question— “ Who do you think your friends and neighbors will vote for ?

Though the “shy voter” idea is thrown around a lot by both Trump supporters and Democratic skeptics, Kapteyn and Cahaly have specific insights into why, and how, Trump support might be going undetected.
For Cahaly, those votes are likely to make the difference again. “There’s a lot of hidden Trump votes out there,” he says. “Will Biden win the popular vote? Probably. I’m not even debating that. But I think Trump is likely to have an Electoral College victory.”
As an illustration, Kapteyn described what his team at USC sees in its polls. Beyond simply asking voters whether they support Biden or Trump, USC asks a “social-circle” question—“Who do you think your friends and neighbors will vote for?”—which some researchers believe makes it easier for people to share their true opinions without fear of being judged for their views.

The Biden’s were working to sell 14% of Rosneft Oil Company to the Chinese to circumvent US sanctions on Russia. FBI Director Christopher Wray represented Rosneft.

When Wray was nominated for FBI Director CNN reported that he removed ALL references to his representation of Rosneft .

investmentwatchblog--2020-10-31--Since 2008, America’s national debt has surged nearly 200%, reaching $27 trillion as of October 2020

Public sector debt has been a contentious topic for many years .
While some believe that excessive government borrowing can be harmful over the long term , others have argued that it acts as a powerful tool for stimulating growth .
In the U.S. , the latter view appears to have taken hold .
Since 2008 , America ’ s national debt has surged nearly 200 % , reaching $ 27 trillion as of October 2020 .
To gain a better understanding of this ever-growing debt , this infographic takes a closer look at various U.S. budgetary datasets including the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ often represented by incredibly large numbers , making them hard to comprehend .

This took a drastic turn during the Global Financial Crisis , with debt climbing to 95 % of GDP by 2012 .
Since then , America ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In April 2020 , with the COVID-19 pandemic in full force , it reached a record 122 % of GDP .

Furthermore , this is not the first time America has found itself in this situation—by the end of World War II , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to historic lows in the 1970s .
Although the U.S. continuously pays off portions of its debt , the total amount it owes has increased each year since 2001 .
That ’ s because the federal government runs consistent budget deficits , meaning it spends more than it earns .
During economic crises , these deficits can become incredibly large .
In the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis , the U.S. recorded an annual deficit of $ 1.4 trillion in FY2009 .
This was largely due to the $ 787 billion American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which provided tax rebates and other economic relief .
In the economic battle against COVID-19 ’ s impacts , the boundaries have been pushed even further .
The annual deficit for FY2020 weighs in at a staggering $ 3.1 trillion , the largest ever .
Contributing to this historic deficit was the $ 2 trillion CARES Act , which provided wide-ranging support to the entire U.S. economy .
Even in the years between these two economic crises , government spending still outpaced revenues .
To find out more , we ’ ve broken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ various components .
Total spending in FY2019 was roughly $ 4.4 trillion , and can be broken out into three components .

At $677 billion, the Defense category represents over half of total discretionary spending. These funds are spread across the five branches of the U.S. military: the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force.
The third component of spending is the net interest costs on existing government debt. For FY2019, this was approximately $327 billion.
Federal Revenues
Revenues in FY2019 fell short of total spending, coming in at approximately $3.5 trillion. These inflows can be traced back to six categories.
Category Amount (USD billions) Percent of Total Revenues Individual income taxes $1,732B 50.0% Payroll taxes $1,247B 36.0% Corporate income taxes $242B 7.0% Other $104B 3.0% Excise taxes $104B 3.0% Customs duties $69B 2.0% Total revenues $3,464B 100.0%
Figures may not add to 100 due to rounding. Source: Peter G. Peterson Foundation
Revenues overwhelmingly relied on individual income and payroll taxes, which together, accounted for 86% of the total. Corporate income taxes, on the other hand, accounted for just 7%.

In fact, the effects of this dilemma are already becoming apparent. Over the past decade, the U.S. has spent more on interest than it has on programs such as veterans benefits and education.
With low interest rates expected for the foreseeable future, the federal government is likely to continue running its large annual deficits—at least until the effects of COVID-19 have fully subsided. Perhaps after this crisis is over, it will be time to assess the long-term sustainability of America’s rising national debt.

It’s all there. All the cards fell into place. Liberals and the biased and bribed mainstream media are just too blind to see it.
It’s Trump over Hillary all over again. It’s George HW Bush overcoming a 17-point deficit versus Michael Dukakis all over again. It’s the final days of Ronald Reagan vs Jimmy Carter- when all of America broke for Reagan at the same time.
At this moment, if you’re not blind, deaf, or very dumb, it’s clear a majority of American voters, certainly crucial swing voters in battleground states, are breaking for Trump in the final days.
It’s all adding up to a Trump electoral landslide.
And I’m not just talking about tightening polls; a few polls with Trump actually in the lead; or battleground states where Trump is outperforming his own numbers four years ago versus Hillary.
Much more importantly, I’m talking early voting numbers. Trump is doing extraordinarily well in early voting in states like Florida, Nevada, Iowa, North Carolina and Arizona. Trump and Republicans are out-kicking the coverage. In other words, they’re kicking the Democrat’s asses. With the physical votes on Election Day still to come. And we all know Republicans rule on Election Day.

Trump is leading in both Democrat Miami-Dade County and Democrat Palm Beach County. Democrats are panicking both in Florida and all over the country.

Brian Boyd notes that the FBI has warned of foreign election interference… Government agencies say this evening that Iran and Russia have taken actions to influence public opinion in the run up to the U-S presidential election. The director of National Intelligence says some voter registration information was obtained by both countries while they believe Iran has sent out emails designed to intimidate voters. However, it appears that Facebook and Twitter are far more dangerous. Their behavior is the exact thing that happened in Venezuela. Failing to cover the Biden corruption stories, which detail legendary corruption by the Biden Crime Family, could be construed as an act of treason.

President Obama’s White House was “bothered” by Hunter Biden’s ties to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma and Obama officials found Hunter’s presence of the company board of directors while his father was vice president “unseemly,” according to a new book.
The revelations were first published by New Yorker writer Evan Osnos in “Joe Biden: The Life, the Run, and What Matters Now,” which hit bookstores earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported.

investmentwatchblog--2020-10-31--ROGER SIMON: The Two Necessary Approaches for Ending Big Tech.

The captains of Big Tech who appeared before a Senate committee a few days ago revealed once again what a pernicious force they are .
Moral narcissists of the highest order , they are all the more dangerous because they think they are good .
They are convinced they are helping the world , making sure we in the great unwashed are not propagandized by what they deem disinformation or misinformation , when in actuality they are making a frontal assault on free speech via various forms of censorship .
This reached the level of Theater of the Absurd when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Senator Cory Gardner ( R-Colo. ) , testified that Holocaust denial did not meet Twitter ’ s definition of misinformation while , evidently , the New York Post ’ s reporting on Tony Bobulinski ’ s widely-authenticated emails did .
Dorsey also told Senator Marsha Blackburn ( R-Tenn. ) his site had not censored tweets from the president when they had done so literally dozens of times .
The most flagrant Orwellian prevarication , however , was when Dorsey stated Twitter had no influence on elections .
( Why then would he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? )
Four legs good , two legs bad , anyone ?
Google and Facebook are at least as disturbing and arguably vastly more powerful .
In a manner even the Chinese might envy , “ The ends justify the means ” has come to America via unseen algorithms dictating what is displayed on our laptops , cellphones and , soon , just about everything else .
But what do we do about it ?
I propose a two-pronged attack , one legislative and one personal/consumer-oriented .
The latter , I believe , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both are necessary .
From the legal standpoint , Sens .
Blackburn , Joshua Hawley ( R-Mo . )
and several others , some Democrats , are attempting to overhaul Section 230 that shields sites like Facebook and Twitter from being sued for the content to which they have linked .
Written over twenty years ago , the early Paleolithic Age in internet terms , the authors of this rule could not have conceived to the degree these sites have become publishers themselves .
In fact , they are now , in essence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s news and therefore the gatekeepers of an overwhelming percentage of global information .
In a sense , the truth is what they say it is .
What could be more powerful than that in a digital age ?
We should adamantly support a rewriting of 230 , allowing these behemoths to be sued just as much as the rest of us residents of Grub Street .
It ’ s possible this can be accomplished , but , unfortunately , as no doubt some of those legislators would agree , that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A serious look at rewriting anti-trust legislation should be in the cards , but without a Trump victory , that is highly unlikely .
And even with one , it will be tremendously difficult , given the deepest pockets in Washington—the deepest pockets anywhere actually— belong to the tech giants .
And since “ money is the mother ’ s milk of politics , ” well , you know the rest… .
Which leads me , my fellow citizens , to that second prong , to what we can and must do—the consumer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Twitter , and Facebook , pretty much in that order .
If there are enough of us , we can cut their profits and build competition .
For some , maybe many , of us that means our lives will change radically—or at least we fear it will .
But as the saying goes , fortune favors the daring .

Written over twenty years ago, the early Paleolithic Age in internet terms, the authors of this rule could not have conceived to the degree these sites have become publishers themselves.

We should adamantly support a rewriting of 230, allowing these behemoths to be sued just as much as the rest of us residents of Grub Street. It’s possible this can be accomplished, but, unfortunately, as no doubt some of those legislators would agree, that is not going to be nearly enough.
A serious look at rewriting anti-trust legislation should be in the cards, but without a Trump victory, that is highly unlikely. And even with one, it will be tremendously difficult, given the deepest pockets in Washington—the deepest pockets anywhere actually— belong to the tech giants. And since “money is the mother’s milk of politics,” well, you know the rest….
Consumers
Which leads me, my fellow citizens, to that second prong, to what we can and must do—the consumer approach.
We can leave Google, Twitter, and Facebook, pretty much in that order. If there are enough of us, we can cut their profits and build competition.
For some, maybe many, of us that means our lives will change radically—or at least we fear it will. But as the saying goes, fortune favors the daring.

This Narrator spells out the agenda with very little left to the imagination. By the end of the video, it becomes obvious we are totally bending over and taking it and for what purpose? There is no carrot, only complete control of the masses. This video spells it out connecting the dots for those not quite there yet. It is absurd the guidelines of even telling you how to behave to at private gatherings. It is well worth a listen even if you are there already in the know how society is being overcome with control.
