There's at least a seven in ten chance that Republicans will net the six seats the party need to reclaims the Senate majority heading into the 114th Congress, according to the three major election models that aim to forecast the results of Tuesday's vote.

The Washington Post's Election Lab model casts the Republican takeover as a near certainty, giving it a 96 percent probability of happening.  Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight model says Republicans have a 73 percent chance at the majority while LEO, the New York Times model, pegs it at 68 percent.

The Post and FiveThirtyEight models have been trending more and more toward a Republican victory over the seven weeks we've been writing on them. The LEO model has largely held steady over the past month or so -- as this terrific chart from The Upshot shows:

All three models agree on the six Republican pickups that should hand the GOP the majority -- either on Tuesday or, potentially, on Dec. 6 after a runoff in Louisiana.  Election Lab, LEO and FiveThirtyEight give Republicans a 70 percent or better chance of winning: Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota and West Virginia.  The latter three races are not seriously contested; the former three -- Arkansas, Colorado and Louisiana -- are places where Democrats continue to believe they have a path to victory even while acknowledging they are not currently ahead.

All three models also agree that Democrats are likely to hold onto North Carolina and New Hampshire, although the former looks more competitive today than it did a week ago, and that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) is a near-certain victor in Kentucky. (No model has McConnell's chances of winning below 93 percent.)

The Fix’s Chris Cillizza breaks down how close the battle for the Senate really is. (The Washington Post)

That leaves four genuine tossups, according to the models.  They are (in alphabetical order):

* Alaska (Democratic controlled): Election Lab 79 percent Republican, LEO 67 percent Republican, FiveThirtyEight 71 percent Republican

* Georgia (Republican controlled): Election Lab 67 percent Republican, LEO 58 percent Republican, FiveThirtyEight 68 percent Republican

* Iowa (D): Election Lab 89 percent Republican, LEO 68 percent Republican, FiveThirtyEight 71 percent Republican

* Kansas (R): Election Lab 97 percent Republican, LEO 51 percent Independent, FiveThirtyEight 54 percent Independent

Kansas is the most obvious outlier between the models -- but for good reason. Greg Orman, who is running as an independent against Sen. Pat Roberts (R), has said he will caucus with whichever party is in the majority. Because Election Lab predicts that will be Republicans, the odds reflect the strong likelihood of either Orman or Roberts winning.

Georgia, after moving toward Democrat Michelle Nunn over the last few weeks, moved away from her in these past seven days amid polling that suggests businessman David Perdue (R) is ahead but not over 50 percent. If Perdue (or Nunn) fail to break 50 percent on Tuesday night -- a possibility because a third party candidate is winning mid-single digits -- they will advance to a Jan. 6 runoff.

Iowa remains the race that all three models agree is the least easily predicted. All three give state Sen. Joni Ernst (R) the edge but the probabilities range from 58 percent to 68 percent -- meaning that no one feels too confident about the outcome.  Republicans were significantly boosted by a Des Moines Register poll over the weekend that showed Ernst up seven and both sides believe she has the momentum at the moment.

If Republicans lose Kansas, and that looks like a real possibility, they would need a seventh Democratic pickup for the majority. Alaska and Iowa are the best chances to be majority makers under that scenario.

All three forecasts point to Republicans unifying their control of Congress this year.  Now, it's up to the voters.

David Wilcock: It Is Becoming Very Obvious That We Are Going Through Massive Changes..

In Response To: Ben Fulford Blurb: The End Days of The Cabal Are Fast Approaching.. (Jordon)

(Wilcock comments on Fulford's new post) Comment by dwilcock on November 3, 2014 @ 9:04 pm It is always intriguing when Ben’s sources reveal data that is similar or identical to what I’m hearing. One of these is the assassination threat against the US President. There is no doubt that he is at very high risk now. Furthermore, I was able to independently confirm last week’s leak that there is high drama, including yelling, going on every day in the White House. Specifically, Obama is now being “sat down three times a day and told to stay the f- out of everything that is going on.” Up until now they gave him some semblance of control over the situation. They let him make certain decisions. Now he’s finally being told he has absolutely no power over anything. Just say nothing, do nothing, sit there and let us do what we need to do. There was a story a few weeks ago that Obama was “ignoring” the Presidential Daily Briefings and only getting them in writing instead of in person. This was used to reflect negatively upon him. I since found out that he wasn’t being OFFERED the briefings in person. Then when they need something against him, they blame him for it. Bear in mind that all of this comes from an insider who very seriously does not like Obama. There are two other things here that are worth mentioning. One is that two different space probes experienced fiery deaths last week, one of which was Richard Branson’s long-awaited project. Don’t forget that Elon Musk, head of Tesla, also had a space probe that exploded on its first major test run. Although we haven’t confirmed it yet, foul play is strongly suspected in each of these cases. Why? Because as soon as you get even into LEO (low earth orbit,) there’s so much stuff up there that’s not supposed to be there, they can’t expect the “masking” to work well enough to conceal everything. We would know too much too soon. Both Elon Musk and Richard Branson are powerful men who are not part of the Cabal, and who would gladly release any anomalous photos and films. All the Cabal would have to do is use simple torsion-field technology to zap the craft as they go up, and soften the matter until it comes apart at the weakest points. Then the controlled media goes on a rampage about “greedy billionaires” whose “ego” and “hubris” has taken them so far into never-never land that there is no hope for them. So there is the dual benefit of throwing them under the bus and taking the widespread public discontent due to the deliberately sabotaged economy and aiming it at public targets. The other important point is that Ben didn’t take credit for predicting the almost complete 180 on Ebola in the mainstream media. Although it was being talked about like the worst thing ever when he wrote that prediction a week ago, within a week it has become non-existent. The stories have all dried up and it’s like it didn’t even happen. The alternative media is still tracking it, but the number of articles about it have decreased by about 900 percent. I am sorry to hear that two of Ben’s allies have now been arrested and that he is threatened with the same. This is no easy game and Ben has kicked every hornet’s nest in sight. I have been asked repeatedly about Ben’s statement last week regarding the alleged Mars base. First of all, if that did happen it would be a great humanitarian tragedy. There are at least 200,000 personnel on that base, including 10,000 who are from our planet and the rest from elsewhere. It would be a huge atrocity if they got blown up. I am very confident that what we are seeing is nothing more than a lens flare. Notice the burst of light originates from the exact center of the object. Our atmosphere creates varying degrees of light refraction since light has to move through air to get to the telescope. This causes mirages and distortions just like you see from heat rising off of hot pavement, for example. This same effect is why stars appear to be twinkling. The amount of light that can actually make it to us is continually fluctuating. Lastly, it is very, very rare for anyone to be able to come back to our society if they have had any contact with this “breakaway civilization.” If you spend any length of time in an underground or off-world base, the likelihood that they will ever let you return to any life on the normal surface of planet earth is extremely small. You have to make a permanent life decision and there’s no turning back. They further guarantee this by giving you an injection that makes it literally lethal to return. Everything about the financial systems opening up is right on. It is becoming very obvious that we are going through massive changes, as I said in last week’s epic article, which you definitely should read if you haven’t already: http://www.divinecosmos.com/index.php/start-here/davids-blog/1170-cabal-defeat This includes discussion of at least five major Hollywood films that are all predicting the defeat of the Cabal and helping to foster it. I also point out how the Ebola image used by the mainstream media is actually very close to the secret Cabal symbol for Tubal Cain, which they see as Lucifer’s great-great-great grandson and the father of their bloodline. This, along with the name ISIS, shows how they have to put their “signature” on everything in order for the magic to work. There’s also a detailed discussion of how this use of magic resurfaced with Queen Elizabeth’s astrologer John Dee, the original OO7 or “Two-Ball Cane.” These are exciting times. I have had dreams suggesting there is still very high risk of new and disruptive events. The morning of the Canadian shooting I had a dream in which two empty school buses were about to be hit with missiles and I had just enough time to turn on the hazard lights before they were going to blow, as a warning to get people away from them. Interestingly, these buses were parked precisely on the street where I used to sell the gold coins I had bought from a modest inheritance in 2000, in order to keep myself going. This suggests the possibility of market turbulence in the gold supply. There are other interesting things going on I don’t want to mention at this point. Suffice it to say that this insider war is very real, and as I wrote in the article, it is becoming increasingly visible and public. I also am seeing a very strong and continuous push being made towards Disclosure, and the attacks on Elon Musk and Richard Branson’s space probes cannot stop this from happening. - David Wilcock wisdomteachings.com divinecosmos.com

The Imperative of Revolt – The Corporate State

Posted By: Liberty_Lady
Date: Monday, 3-Nov-2014 09:52:16

For those who fear an invasion of our country, I would remind them of the words of Nikita Khrushchev, “We do not need to invade the United States. We will conquer you from within.” And while I do not believe it is the Russians, it is certainly the Illuminati who have done just that. I knew something was wrong in this country. I could see changes that were disturbing. Regulations put in place as protection for the citizens were removed by bought and paid for politicians who apparently answered to someone other than us. I watched as factories closed and relocated overseas to be replaced by minimum wage with no benefit service jobs. I was alarmed at the number of unemployed seeking Welfare. But what finally convinced me of the corporate takeover was our wonderful collection of Supreme Fossils ruling that corporations were people and could contribute unlimited campaign contribution to candidates. AND the same traitors agreeing that We the People could no longer assemble or petition in the vicinity of elected officials. I am sure there is far worse to come if the American people don't get their collective heads out of the telly and pay attention to what is going on. According to two political philosophers interviewed by one of my modern day heroes, Chris Hedges and published at Nation of Change, “The devolution of the economic system has been accompanied by corporations seizure of nearly all forms of political and social power. The corporate elite, through a puppet political class and compliant intellectuals, pundits and press, still employs the language of a capitalistic democracy. But what has arisen is a new kind of control, inverted totalitarianism, which, according to one of these philosophers, Sheldon S. Wolin brilliantly dissects in his book, “Democracy Incorporated” “The corporate state is 'legitimated by elections it controls'. It exploits laws that once protected democracy to extinguish democracy; one example is allowing unlimited corporate campaign contributions in the name of our First Amendment right to free speech and our right to petition the government as citizens. It perpetuates politics all the time, but a politics that is not political. The endless election cycles are an example of politics without politics, driven not by substantive issues but manufactured political personalities and opinion polls. There is no national institution in the United States that can be described as democratic.” These men believe that revolt is the only way to take our country back from those who would destroy her. I wish there were another way. For full interview by Chris Hedges of Sheldon S. Wolin and John Ralston Saul, go to:www.nationofchange.org/2014/10/21/imperative-revolt

positive bank story tidbit

Subject: Positive bank story tidbit: Date: 11/02/14 00:38:24

 

Subject: positive bank story tidbit   Don lives in North Carolina and gave us the great bank story of the banker asking him what he would do with 40M dollars.  Well, this incident was from a totally different banker in the small town where he has lived for many years.  Several months ago when he was researching whether to buy currency, he went to his small branch where they knew him well and said my daughter is going to be traveling oversea and wondered if they dealt in foreign currency...banker lady said yes.  Then she asked would it be Irag Dinar?  Acting ignorant, Don said what is that?...and she promptly said, "I can't talk about it".  He asked again, "what is that?" and she repeated, "I can't talk about it".  The way she said it prompted Don to immediately buy currency from Sterling.  Remember, this was several months ago.  Very recently, he was in same bank late in day and he noticed a lot of late day activity from employees and he asked this same lady why so many were working late and what is going on? Once again, "I can't talk about it".  Then, she said, "don't forget about us when you are wealthy".  She then mentioned they had a wealth manager in an Ashville Branch that she could refer him to.  This conversation by her was not initiated by Don. - SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE GETTING READY FOR US!!

Newsweek – Hit the Road Barack!!!!

Posted on November 2, 2014 by Martin Armstrong

I have told the story how the Republicans had me meeting with potential candidates for President under the pretense I was there to advise them of the state of the global economy. In fact, I was asked routinely my “opinion” of their capability. Then came the call they wanted me to fly to Texas to meet with George Bush, Jr.. I was told this was different – “he is stupid.” I was shocked. They never used such a word that derogatory toward any individual. I asked why did they want to make him President? They said he had the “name”. They then asked if I would consider taking the chief economic slot. I said no way. I would not give up my business for such a post and the senate hearings would be a fiasco given all the companies and governments I had advised. They said they needed people to surround him to run the country. That is how President Dick Cheney took power.

I have said privately I had the sneaky suspicion the same was done with Obama. The news filtering out about his ability is on par with Bush, Jr. Well what I have been hearing through the Grape-Vine, others have as well. Now Matt Patterson and Newsweek speaks out about Obama and it is not pretty. It appears that the bureaucracy wants stupid men at the top so they can run the show. This is what appears to be taking place.

Newsweek is known as a Democratic mouthpiece so for this to come from that source it would be like the Ed Show on CNBC finally coming clean. This is timely and a very tough review. The fact that their editor saw fit to even print this article about Obama prior to the election is truly an amazing event in itself worthy of news coverage. At last, the truth about Obama and his Marxist agenda are starting to trickle through the “protective wall” built around him by the liberal media to say the least. This should not be about politics. This should be about putting incompetent people to run the country that are pawns for the deeper agenda.

Except from Newsweek

I Too Have Become Disillusioned

By Matt Patterson (Newsweek Columnist Opinion Writer)

…..

The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and that’s when he has his Teleprompters in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth -
it’s all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years. (An example is his 2012 campaign speeches which are almost word for word his 2008 speeches)

And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. Remember, he wanted the job, campaigned for the task. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. (The other day he actually came out and said no one could have done anything to get our economy and country back on track). But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?

In short: our president is a small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such an impostor in the Oval Office.

​While we learn in the 1st video from TheAlexJonesChannel that the US govt has secretly ordered 250,000 HAZMAT suits for Dallas, Texas, in the 2nd video below featuring Steve Quayle we learn that the elites plan to kill MILLIONS of Americans is now underway.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the population of Dallas was 1.25 million in 2013.  Why is the govt seeking HAZMAT suits for 1/5 of the population? Will the suits even be GIVEN to the population or does Steve Quayle call it much more clearly in the 2nd video where we tells us what the ‘big picture’ is?

A manager with a major shipping company has exclusively revealed to Infowars that the U.S. government has ordered 250,000 Hazmat suits to be sent to Dallas, the location of the first Ebola outbreak in the United States.

The manager of the shipping company proved his credentials to Infowars by providing a photo ID and sending a verified email from the company account, but wishes to remain anonymous due to understandable fears that he could be fired for revealing the information.

“I just learned we have been asked to ship 250,000 HAZMAT suits to Dallas, TX. for the US Government. Again this is happening today.  We are pulling these suits for the US Government to Dallas, TX,” states the individual, who manages the drivers who work for the shipping company.
