Hello All -
This [1] is not at all consistent with the optimistic economic boom tone we saw with Hunter's Armstrong interview write-up, with the exception that the statistics [the real ones] clearly indicate a Trump landslide that the Left is worried about, epic vote tampering notwithstanding. Of course, the post election civil unrest projection has remained in force.
......"They plan to block out everything Trump tries to do to paralyze the country. There is no more America." This is evidently why all the preparations at the Capitol at the moment, and one might see it as a political operation, not a simple prophylaxis. Armstrong, nonetheless has expressed residual concern that the election outcome could be corrupted, possibly resulting in sufficient impetus to cause uprising and a secession process initiated by the Right. The same situation could be caused by the Left in a converse election outcome, in which the nation itself would become entirely dysfunctional for a time, as a prodromal revolutionary effect.
The invariant common denominator in this sociopolitical equation is the prognosis for civil and national instability due to a philosophically and spiritually divided society that has become two very different nations that are about to fission. No doubt, Russia and China are analysing this situation very carefully, along with their allies who face the common threat of a weaponised dollar. A Trump win is no guarantee of panacea, but at least represents the possibility of avoiding a global war trajectory in the short term - if he is not assassinated. not cheated against the true popular consensus, and if he is able to take assertive command. The difficult factor to quantify is the ability of the conservative bloc to throttle and arrest the Left revolutionary movement that has been taking over the Capitol under Cloward-Piven revolutionary strategies. These include the J6 false insurrection operation against the established Right to prevent Congress from considering election corruption in the seven states, and the general propaganda smear strategy of painting the Right as the source of violence and suppression that is the philosophical meme of the Left.
The consequence of major socioeconomic downturn in the U.S. would create a situation very similar to the Weimar conditions in the 1920 's, with the exception that at least two separate and violently conflicting cultural centres would be involved, both demographically and geographically bifurcating any redemption phenomenon that might parallel the rise of the NSDAP. The other factor to consider is the cyclic recession of the West, which would indicate diminution of America. Even the most optimistic scenarios indicate great difficulty in the reestablishment of socioeconomic homeostasis. An interesting alternative avenue would be the gathering of the conservative central mass of U.S. states along with the bulk of western Canada as a mechanism of continuity of the American constitutional republic, along with a north pole economic alliance with Russia to secure what has been in reality two populations that share a common enemy - the Neocon-Eurocon military industrial complex. The Armstrong codes have clearly indicated ultimate collapse of this neocon complex and its World Order Reich under the veneer of a "Schwab Doctrine" of population control and false environmentalism.
Much will depend upon "the better angels of our nature. [2]" Again, before kingdoms can change men must change, and so we also recognise that apocalypse is ultimately awakening and the commerce of "creative destruction" [3], and not necessarily global destruction.

We have perhaps a year or two under the facade of conservative renaissance, assuming no major escalation into a major war, before a reality sets in that will require a remote homestead, or a ten million dollar reservation south of Christchurch, to outright survive what is coming, if that, in the end, is actually possible. This also lines up more or less precisely with the SOCRATES general war cycle. Whether our sentiments of reestablishment of a nation of moral, cultural and intellectual homeostasis are actually possible at this point, or else are simple last shrieks of normalcy bias, is a matter of debate. We may need to face the fact that Dorothy's house has not landed on the witch, let alone getting around to giving her a bath. We, and the president-elect, must face the fact that we no longer live in anything resembling the nation we were born into, and that the remedy is preceded by unsettling historical pretext
We also have discussions such as [2], which fall in line with concerns I wrote about in the week preceding the Russian move into Ukraine - the possibility of a Ukrainian nuclear capacity. This was followed by Zelensky announcing a desire to acquire nuclear weapons, the very day before Putin committed troops into Ukraine. Frankly, I doubt that Ukraine has the industrial capacity to do the plutonium extraction, particularly noting that it surely would have done so much earlier. There is also the fact that any use of special nuclear material, whether as a fission device or dirty bomb, by Ukraine against Russia, would almost certainly result in justification and follow-through of an immediate and precipitous Russian nuclear solution to the problem. One option is to completely destroy all Ukrainian nuclear facilities. Another, by the way, is to end the war, and replace the dusty placards at Nuremberg with the names of the neocons and Ukrainian neo-Nazis, who are hell-bent to drag us all into a third world war.

A primary concern for some time [1], with complex ramifications, has been an escalation between election and inauguration. This could easily ignite the situation, causing an indeterminate trajectory toward nuclear use, and complications relative to turnover of power in Washington.
All has been almost suspiciously quiet so far with especially facile gestures of cooperation from the current administration - the prospect of a subtle and comprehensive geopolitical end-run cannot be ruled out, accompanied by foreign or covert domestic induction of emergency pretexts that could interfere with transfer of power. It is too soon at this moment to have Armstrong's take on the matter, but it will likely come tomorrow morning. The exact capability of the ATACMS is important, as well as other medium range missiles reported to already be on their way to Ukraine as of last week.
