Did An Author From The 1800s Predict Trump And America’s Downfall?

Authored by Josie Wales via TheAntiMedia.org,

Did a 19th-century author really predict Trump’s election, Russiagate, and the potential collapse of the country?

It’s impossible to say for sure, but the ever-resourceful and endlessly curious users of Reddit and 4chan have unearthed some fascinating evidence to give some substance to the fantasy.


In the late 1800s, an American lawyer, political writer, and novelist named Ingersoll Lockwood penned two fantasy novels about a highly-imaginative little boy named “Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastin von Troomp, commonly called, ‘Little Baron Trump,’ and his wonderful dog Bulger.” Little Baron Trump is the main character in both The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulgar and Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey, which follow the wealthy boy and his dog as they leave “Castle Trump” to embark on a journey underground to explore the theory that the earth is not solid, but inhabited by people who were chased underground by “terrible disturbances.”

The boy learned of this theory through a manuscript given to him by his father called World within a World, which was written by a celebrated thinker and philosopher named Don Fum. Before leaving Castle Trump in the Marvelous Underground Journey, Baron’s father refers to Don as a “safe and trusty counselor” and reminds him of the Trump motto – “the pathway to glory is strewn with pitfalls and dangers.” As Baron goes on a search for the portal to the “World within a World” with Don as his guide, his travels take him to the Ural mountains in Russia. So Little Baron Trump and his dog are guided by Don to Russia.

  While all of this is fascinating – and one heck of a coincidence – it’s Lockwood’s third book that really throws everyone for a loop.

“The Chicago Platform assumes, in fact, the form of a legendary propaganda. It embodies a menace of national disintegration and destruction.” 

That quote, taken from Garret A. Hobart’s public speech of acceptance of the Republican nomination on September 10th, 1896, also serves as the epigraph of a book also published in 1896 by Ingersoll Lockwood, titled 1900 or The Last President. It was stamped by the Library of Congress on September 28th, just two weeks after Hobart gave that speech.

The Last President opens in New York City on November 3rd, 1896, with the announcement of the newly-elected president of the United States, who happens to be an outsider candidate – the candidate who represented the “common man,” who would liberate the people from the grip of the bankers, and “undo the bad business of years of unholy union between barters and sellers of human toil and the law makers of the land.”

Aka, an anti-establishment candidate.

The very first page describes New York in turmoil over the announcement, with mounted policemen yelling through the streets:

“Keep within your houses; close your doors and barricade them. The entire East Side is in an uproar.

Mobs of vast size are organizing under the lead of Anarchists and Socialists, and threaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who have wronged them for so many years.”

As the riots advance upon Madison Square, the book reads,

“The Fifth Avenue Hotel will be the first to feel the fury of the mob.

Would the troops be in time to save it?” 

According to Newsweek, Trump Tower now sits where The Fifth Avenue Hotel used to stand.

There are many theories floating around the internet; some say Barron Trump is actually Lockwood, who traveled through time to write about his adventures; others believe Steve Bannon is a 50-year old Barron Trump and they’re time-traveling together; another believes “we are all Barron and Barron is all of us,” and some of us are simply chalking it up to 2017 having a competition with itself to see just how weird it can get.

Baba Vanga also predicted obama would be the last US president.

I’ve been spending a lot of time on 4chan /pol/ since I found out about it here, before the election, with FBI Anon.

It’s fascinating. It’s likely just a bunch of 15 year old spouting autistic stuff to be edgy. But if any of their theories and research turn out to be true, the world will be turned upside down.

Can you give us some examples?

Don’t worry when it ends, our country, empire whatever. We will all be pretty clear it is over. Perhaps the lucky ones will die quickly? We find out to soon I am afraid. But our children. Look at what we have done to them.

I am by no means a 4chan “expert.” I’ve only been lurking there since just before the election. There’s a whole subculture that exists there that’s unlike anything else on the web. At one time, Stephanie Shepard was going to write an article about 4chan and the culture therein. I wish she had done so, because I’m sure she’s more qualified than I to write about it.

But these fucking computer geeks will research something to the ends of the earth and dig through the oceans of information on the internet and “find stuff.”

So, apparently, the actor, Shia LeBeouf, hid some kind of anti-trump flag somewhere in the US to protest something. I don’t know all the specifics. But the crowd on 4chan found the location of the flag using the stars and flight patterns from Shia’s photos. So he hid it again. And they found it, again. And possibly a third time.

There was some kind of Al Qaeda training video on line. Using the stills from the video, Google Earth, and whatever other online resources, they found the location of the camp, and got someone to call in a bombing run on it.

Right now, they’re researching human trafficking routes. If pizzagate/pedogate/human trafficking at the highest levels is really a thing, I think they may have a chance at breaking the case, because they put a huge amount of time into researching it.

Here’s a thread about one of the Rothschilds being exposed. You’ve got to move quick, though, because the threads will often times disappear.

They spend time monitoring military frequencies. They monitor twitter. They crawl Facebook. They find pictures of shit you never dreamed possible. Trump time travel, flat earth/hollow earth, Antarctica, CERN altering the time line, Anonymous people posing as somebody important with important insider information, white supremacy/racism, Jews, Pagans/Christians, “Happenings”, Sandy Hook, JFK, I’ve seen it all on 4chan.

It’s a strange world over there. But there’s a huge amount of junk you’ve got to go through to find any kind of gem. It’s really weird, but it’s a little bit addicting, too. “Weaponized autism” they call it. Is it irony? Is it satire? Yes. No. I don’t know.

I’m not the most qualified to really discuss 4chan though, I don’t entirely understand it myself. Again, it’s either something, or it’s nothing. Based on language patterns and other clues, I think there are other 4chan regulars here on TBP. Maybe they can chime in.
