employment because that was going to happen naturally. You can't really fault him for the economy not being as good as it was before the pandemic. There are pretty good reasons for that. But in terms of how people react and vote, how in the world can he get elected when more than half of the country thinks he made the economy worse or he didn't make it better? Well yeah, I'd be worried about those…

I cannot figure out how to combine those two realities even by explaining that one has the wrong information and one has the right information. Like they are just so different worlds right now and I don't know what to make of it.
So I'll tell you my general advice for every specific claim. The odds of it being true are vanishingly small. But there's a lot of activity going on. The odds of all of it being untrue? Well here I would go back to my general statement that every one of our American institutions has shown itself to be corrupt just recently. Not it's not even historical, but in the last few years you found everything from the Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, the FDA, the CDC, the World Health Organization if you go outside of America. Am I right? We found everything from science to Congress. Every bit of it is corrupt in really substantial ways. So what are the odds that the elections in all 50 states were pristine? Close to zero. Now that doesn't mean that there was enough fraud to change the result. I have no information about that to support that theory. But there's a lot going on there in a sketchy domain.

I will default to my three-act play model of prediction. And the third act model says that even though the evidence is unclear, that reality is going to start solidifying toward finding a Kraken right before the election. And it turns out that at least one of these cases, I think the Georgia one, something substantial might be decided in the world of the 2020 election before Trump has his trial about whether his claims about the election he knew they were fake. So the timing is now, as I predicted, the timing is now lined up correctly. That we'll know something about the election of 2020. It may be perfectly fine. We might find that out. But the timing is lined up so we would find that out before Trump is called into account for anything he di

d because of his belief that there was fraud. It's looking too perfect at the moment. Aaron says to me, yeah you're too smart for a QAnon but you'd readily vote for the QAnon Shaman in Arizona. Yes I would. Was there a point you had to make? I see the anger and the sarcasm but I don't see the point. You're just saying what I said, that I would vote for him. And I don't believe QAnon. Is there a p…
