Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
This is the way true sociopathic politicians create hatred to gain power in politics. It is actually a sign of the Decline & Fall of an empire, nation, or city-state. It is the division of the country which pits one side against another and in the process, a portion of each side will resort to violence justified in their mind because they see the opposition as evil. This was the hallmark of Hillary, but the interesting aspect is that she most likely was not engaged in deliberately adopting this strategy to turn people to hatred, she was doing this simply because it came naturally to her.
Hillary deliberately engaged in this tactic by lumping everyone who voted for Trump as “deplorables”. She basically engaged in hate speech and continues to engage in this tactic saying that civil unrest is warranted whenever you disagree with these deplorables and they are not in control. Civility will return, she says, ONLY when they dictate the world to everyone else. These are the words of a dictator, not someone who is civil and believes in freedom. At the core of what she is saying is that they have a right to subjugate everyone to compel them to work for their benefit. This is EXACTLY what Ayn Rand fought against.
A poll by the Rand Corporation which was taken several months before the election revealed that voters who viewed themselves as neglected overwhelmingly favored Donald Trump above any other candidate. Derek Thompson at The Atlantic wrote on March 1st, 2016:
“Voters who agreed with the statement ‘people like me don’t have any say about what the government does’ were 86.5 percent more likely to prefer Trump. This feeling of powerlessness and voicelessness was a much better predictor of Trump support than age, race, college attainment, [or] income.”
The left has the media on their side. They are doing EVERYTHING possible to destroy the very foundation of freedom upon which this country was born. I get a lot of emails from people who will vote for Trump, NOT BECAUSE they think he is the greatest thing since the invention of sliced bread, but because they view this hatred and feel that they are indeed neglected, exploited, and abused for the benefit of others. Consequently, they have to be CLOSET Trump supporters for they fear they cannot even display a Trump sticker for it makes them a target.
What our model is showing is the craziest period in American politics begins here in 2018. We have NOTHING but Directional Changes and Panic Cycles in politics from here into 2021. So buckle up – we are just embarking on absolute insanity and the markets are reflecting this deep-seated fear of the left which is rising with their motto – our way or no way!
The majority of people supporting Trump just want to be left alone – the Constitutional right to pursue their own happiness, provide for their family, and let them decide their own future. Ironically, women did not need the right to vote before Socialism because it was an INDIRECT political system of government that was the very essence of freedom. The Greek Democracy was NOT that only men voted, it was ONLY the head of the household voted as if that person was the Congressman representing everyone in the household.
Once Socialism began, then every individual was entitled to vote because now every individual had to pay an income tax and there was an endless supply of laws to dictate your behavior. The famous case of Griswold v Connecticut is where the right to privacy was established because the state passed a law based upon religious beliefs that birth control was against the Bible teachings so it was illegal to have a condom. The Supreme Court asked how was such a law to be enforced? Would a state official be there in the bedroom to inspect before anything took place?
This is what happens under Socialism. They believe they have the power to regulate everything you do down to the most private decision. If that is the political system, them ABSOLUTELY everyone has the right to vote when it concerns a law that impacts them. It was wrong to draft boys for Vietnam as soon as they turned 18 but had no right to vote on the issue of war or even to vote before they were drafted. They were also denied the right to go to a bar but were old enough to die for a politician.
Romanian freedom,at least momentarily.
HSF this picture is hard hitting if you stare at it long enough and visualize ones self standing by your wife of 50 years and taking bullets from a dictatorial firing squad. Makes one wonder where he made the first mistake. Would one be reflecting upon:
His own inaction when he saw dictatorship forming?
He refused to teach his offspring about freedom and constitutional rights allowing them to form opinions influenced by leftist in charge of teaching at colleges?
He refused to be outspoken.
He allowed public sentiment to form around false flags and rights guaranteed by consitutions to be eviserated (1st, 2nd, 4th amendments in the beginning and then all were taken away).
WOuld one be reflecting on how he wished he would have acted, been brave?
Now that it is really over, would he have given up many of those years of increasingly restricted life and freedoms, to form a revolution and put down without bloodshed, the very people shooting at him now?
WOuld he now like to go back in time and tell himself to act with urgency and even martyr himself to save future humanity from this?
Would he should he have fought or fought harder with true grit to stop this from forming?
Does one even think of these things or are they selfish at these last moments only wondering if there is even a hell or heaven and which shall he go?
Does one have pity on the shooters and mankind for their naivety?
Does one turn the other cheek and provide pardon and forgiveness and die in a crumbled mass against that wall, as most religious authorities prefer (they prefer this so the State allows them to remain in existence as another arm of the powerful dictatorship to provide conformity-the State loves these religious leaders as they assist the State in keeping the sheep at bay out of fear of God and morality when the State has no such fears, all while these religious authorities remain safe and comfortable, as keepers of their flock and continue to reap monetary rewards).
Does one fear for the lives of their heirs and offspring?
Does one take any ownership for what is happening or lay blame on some “one” other than themselves?
IT is a fascinating picture to say the least…..if “one” puts themself into that picture.
Ceausescu was a Communist and the only thing good about him was he got what they should all get. He was so maniacal that the Soviet Union had no barbed wire or even guards on their border with Romania, for they knew no Russian in his right mind wanted to escape there.
What’s the old saying, Marty? It takes one to know one.
Why I do not like political parties, they push every ones buttons, those doing the most button pushing have no concepts of hardship,(gulags, concentration camps, reeducation centers or the damn killing fields)much less homelessness or extreme poverty, or expect they will be in similar situation themselves.
As they have the Almighty State to protect them from the Storm, while they relentlessly gnaw away the foundations of said State… fools who never read history and found out what happens to useful idiots, or what happens when the house falls during a storm and you are inside.
Dangerous control cults that can turn on a dime into dangerous kill cults. Damn the parties right and left to hell.
The State is the anti thesis to liberty and freedom, it’s a bulldozer ran by shit flinging chimps.. who cares if a chimp is red or blue..
Most people just want to live their lives and be left alone to enjoy their own small acre of happiness. It’s the sociopath alone, from Lincoln to Roosevelt to Johnson to Hillary, that want to “lead” (read control) others. The most insulting aspect is that they define their sociopathy as “public service”.
A bigger problem is the ever increasing numbers of FSA Useful Idiots that vote for the Communist; polls show 99% of niggers in Florida will vote for Gillum (D) who is a flaming Communist for Governor!
Some serious legal jeopardy in that sentence concerning 18 yr olds were drafted but had no right to vote on the subject of drafts before they would be drafted. Talk about serfdom! I always maintain the forced servitude (drafting) of 18 yr olds and forced to die for a politician but no right to have a beer at the same age is ridiculous. But hey its legal in most areas for a 50 year old to marry a 14 year old! These politicans are no better than the greeks/romans or muslims 2000 years ago. They sure love them some orgies with kids. They are a sick bunch, drunk on their power and full of narcissism. When the economy goes pop there will be a day of reckoning surely. We must blame those in charge and nobody else. The punishment should fit the crime.
Armstrong should stick with his obscure cyclical patterns and avoid politics. He writes, (Hillary) “most likely was not engaged in deliberately adopting this strategy to turn people to hatred, she was doing this simply because it came naturally to her.” WTF does that mean? Armstrong sucks and blows at the same time. The rest of his Non sequiturs are just as disconnected from logic.
