‘A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight’

(with a tip of the hat to Louis Armstrong)

In a recent post, Martin Armstrong wrote that his thus far infallible, uber-computer, Socrates, is predicting that Trump’s presidency may not make it past 2028.

In a post earlier today, Armstrong writes that authoritarianism will rise from 2028 into 2032 which is when the wheels will come off of civilization.

In a February 12, 2025 article titled, "Left Will Push Violent Revolution Against Trump" on USAWatchDog.com, attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch USA states:

“We are going to be in a violent revolution potentially in short order. . . . The Left is… going to start the violence like they did with Antifa and Black Lives Matter… a situation that can only spin more wildly out of control the more Trump pushes… It’s getting to a very dangerous phase… The Left wants us dead — they really do… They want to have complete control… If they don’t get what they want in court, and they probably won’t, they are going to be violent, and this could ratchet up more and more.”

As Walt Kelly's comic strip character, Pogo, once stated: “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

And who is the enemy in the above context? The mob. The lumpen. Basically, humanity. Or at least 50% of us.

Now, please!, Dear Reader, do not think of me as misanthropic. Heavens, no.

I am a lover, not a hater. I love everyone. When traveling to San Francisco, I even wear flowers in my hair.

It’s just that—and can I be frank here?—homo sapiens has yet to make it very far out of the cave… or jungle.

Throughout recorded history—and, I should emphasize, right up through the present—we invade, torture, murder, bomb, gas, burn, shoot, rape, loot and pillage people who don’t look like us, don’t agree with us, or don’t believe what we believe.

Sometimes we do this just because we can. But when things go badly—and I’m talking really badly—your most pleasant, upstanding, middle class neighbors will go full monkey mind and do whatever is required to stop their hungry children from crying.

If you think I’m exaggerating, just wait and see what happens if food becomes unavailable for a few days, or a week, or a month.

Yes, you could plan ahead, stock up on supplies, hole up and prepare to defend yourself. But do you really want to have to shoot your kid’s soccer coach if he tries to break in and steal your water?

I would think that the far better approach would be to relocate beforehand to an idyllic area, far from the madding crowd, amidst rolling hills, where the average neighbor is far enough away to be just out of view, where you can keep chickens in your back yard because nobody cares, where guns are adored as much as pets and even grandma carries a pistol in her purse, and where life is so much like it was back in the 50’s that you’d think you were living in a free country.

A place like, say, West Virginia?
