What Makes a Person a Slave?
There are multiple ways to become a slave such as from the spoils of war where the conquered people were take by the conquerors and made to work for them for short or long periods of time. One could also be born into this condition my having a mother that was also a slave. In either method of becoming a slave 100% of your toil belonged to your owner or master whom in turn allowed you to keep a very small amount to live on. So a fair definition of being a slave was how much of your toil you can keep and obviously if you keep less the half you are more slave than free.
Slavery is not practical today because of technology and the fact that salves are not all that productive as they have no incentive to work hard for obvious reasons. So today the rulers have to find other ways to get their slaves to work for them. One way is to create the illusion of freedom and that is the method currently (past 50 years) being implemented in Western Civilization which consists of the: European Union, Great Britain, the United States, Canada, Mexico and most of Central and southern America. However this is a diverse list of countries and most are not actually democracies even though they claim they are.
The reason they are not free and may actually be more slave than free is that most, if not all, have effective tax rates close to 50% or more of their hours worked. These taxes are in many forms from simple sales taxes though special taxes like that on gasoline and other forms of energy to Income taxes. But most forget that companies that make things and provide services to you must also pay taxes on property inventory and profits which are all passed on to consumers through higher prices that the companies must charge to consumers or go out of business. When all the taxes are added up the Tax load on the consumers in the United States today is probably over $6.0 trillion dollars which is around 36% of the GDP of the country.
So one could say that what is the problem we are only 36% slave and 64% free and that would be mostly true; however the problem with this simple view is that the various governments have promised things beyond what they can pay for, especially the federal government, so they borrow money and as they borrow more and more they pull money out of the private sector which puts a drag on growth which than forces the government to borrow more and we have been in this cycle for almost 20 years now. Social Security and other entitlements both public and private will drive the effective tax load over 50% before 2020 unless the process can be stopped. There is only one way to stop this conversion of a free people into debt slaves to their governments and that is to elect Donal J. Trump President of the United States.
The truth of this statement is in the introduction given to Mr. Trump at his rally at the Cleveland I-X center at the Cleveland airport on March 12, 2016 by Pastor Darrell Scott of New Spirit Revival Center Ministries who being of African decent knows what the yoke of slavery is better than most and so when a man like this sees the truth in the direction we are going in I would say that we need to listen to him very closely. Although the Democrat’s have been the worst at enslaving us the current crop of elected republicans are not any better and so as Trump runs his campaign he is attacked very hard by his parties operators and donors in an attempt to prevent him from gaining the nomination of his party. Do not let this happen or you will be a debt slave to the various world governments by 2020.
Listen to what Pastor Scott as to say and I would do as he recommends if I were you.

4 Elections Away from 2017 the Year from Political Hell
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Mar 13, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
There has been a major political uprising in Germany. For the first time, the Green Party has beaten the establishment in Baden-Württemberg. I have been warning that Trump is not some freak show. This is a global uprising we are watching in politics as we head into 2017 – the year from Political Hell. We are indeed, only three major elections away from perhaps the revision of NATO, the fall of the European Union, and the end of the socialist world order as we have know it. We have not just the US election, we have Germany, France.
Then we have this June and the British Exit vote which is actually the first. If Britain votes to leave, the EU is finished. If they vote to stay, Britain is finished and going down with the EU as the Muslim refugees pour in for free healthcare and welfare, and perhaps a few good looking girls as a bonus. This is like two guys walking in the field in Rockies. Suddenly they see a mountain lion. One quietly slips on his running shoes. The other looks at him and asks: “Do you really think you can out run him?” His friend replies: “No. I just have to outrun you.”
Canada Sold All Its Gold Reserves – Who Will be Next?
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Mar 13, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
Question: Hello Martin,
I saw a couple of days ago that Canada seems to have sold all its gold.
Is it just a way to find short-term easy money?
Or is it part of a global process to sell any tangible asset that the government could have ?
I personally don’t think this to be a smart move, as in my opinion a government should mix between tangible and non tangible assets. After all, they’re using OUR money…
Thank you.

REPLY: You have to look at this from their perspective. They are moving to electronic money. Gold is a throwback to an ancient economy to them. We should expect other countries to follow Canada. They see no use for gold, and they are dead broke. George III was broke and began charging people with any petty crime, right down to stealing an apple. He then used that as the excuse to sell citizens to farmers in the United States as an indentured servant for their time of sentence. The historian Charles Hibbert recorded the sentence handed down by a judge on this issue in his classic work “Roots of Evil”:
Because you have committed this offence, the sentence of the court is that you shall no longer be burdened with the support of your wife and family. You shall be immediately removed from a very bad climate and a country overburdened with people to one of the finest regions of the earth where demand for human labour is every hour increasing and where it is highly probable you may ultimately regain your character and improve your future. (Roots of Evil, 145)
Benjamin Franklin objected to this practice. He had previously written on it in the “Gazette” on May 9, 1751, where he argued against the trade that was welcomed for it was cheap labor needed in the colonies. This was replaced with slavery from Africa by the Dutch following the Revolution.
Today when a government is broke, they can see the gold. Soon, it may be expanding government workforces using prison labor for making a right turn on a red light without making a complete stop or some other nonsense
The Chicago Anti-Trump Mob – Summary Video Showing Insufferable Media and Political Opportunism…
I my opinion there were only two HONEST people running for the office of the President of the United States from both parties and they were Donald Trump and Ben Carson. Cruz and Rubio were shill’s for the GOPe do varying degrees but neither are honest in their views. Kasich is 100% GOPe and it was “Newt” Gingrich that balanced the budget not Kasich. The following link will take you to my blog where you can read a short story about how we went from where we were to where we are now and it all starts with LBJ.
How did we get from the world of the early 60’s to where we are now?
Donald Trump Rally, Cleveland Ohio – 2:00pm EST Livestream…
I just got back from the trump Rally at the Cleveland I-X Center at the Cleveland airport; however I did stop at my daughters home in Berea Ohio which is only a few miles on the way hope to see the Grand kids. We got there at 12:15 and Trump got started maybe 1:50 and spoke for an hour or so. There were maybe 8 or 10 minor interruptions of no consequence and it was a great Rally and trump gave a Great speech.
It was started with an introduction by a Cleveland Black preacher who gave a great introduction for Trump and got the crowd in the motivated. We left after the speech and on the way out I was interviewed by Channel 19 in Cleveland it was well worth the time spent to her him in person. I don’t know if it aired or not.
The Convergence of Political Interests United To Stop Donald Trump…
Its very sad what has been done to us and worse our kids and grand kids. I will be going to the trump Rally in Cleveland this afternoon and I hope Cleveland is better prepared than Chicago. Also I agree 100% that there is only one political party in this country today — there is very little that that actually disagree on and only fight to see who holds the reins of power and money and neither party cares anything for the people. My short take on how we got here starting with the events in Dallas on November 22, 1963 are found on my blog

The Central Bankers Are Crazy & Public is Out Of Its Mind – Where’s the Beef?
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Mar 12, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
The central bankers are simply crazy, not evil. They are trying to steer the economy by utilizing this simpleton theory that if you make something cheaper, someone will buy it. Japanese and German cars managed to get a major foothold in the U.S. because the quality of U.S. manufacturers collapsed, thanks to unions. The socialist battle against corporations forgot something important – the ultimate decision maker is the consumer. The last American car I bought in the 1970s simply caught on fire while parked in my driveway. Another friend bought a brand-new American car and there was a terrible rattle. When they took the door panel off, there was an empty bottle of Coke inside. Cheaper does not always cut it. Gee, shall we cheer if the stock market goes down by 90%? It would be a lot cheaper. Why does the same theory not apply?
Then we have the trading public. If the central bankers have gone crazy with this whole negative interest rate theory, then the public is simply out of their minds. The euro rallied because Draghi cut rates further, extended the stimulus another year, increased the amount by another 33%, and then declared rates would stay there for years to come. And these insane traders cheer. Unbelievable! They are celebrating the public admission of Draghi that all his efforts to date have failed, so let’s do even more of the same. And they love this nonsense? Negative interest rates have become simply a tax on saving money and the stupid traders and media writers love it. The Fed tries to raise rates and they say – NO! This is a stunning combination of admission and stupidity that one would expect from a pretty but clueless girl and her drunk college boyfriend who can’t say no to any girl:
“I asked John if he slept with Karen and got his admittal!”
“Oh that’s cool, I think it’s probably about time you stopped drinking.”
All they see is that lower interest rates “should” stimulate but ignore the fact that they never do. They are too stupid to grasp the fact that raising taxes cannot be offset by lower interest rates. People judge everything by the bottom-line and not some crazy theory that just stupid. A simple correlation study by a high school student in math class would prove this theory does not correlate to expected outcome. And we cheer this insanity confirming our own overall stupidity and one is left wondering who is crazier? I suppose it is just that central bankers are crazy and the public, as well as the media, are just out of their minds.
It reminds me of the old TV commercial by Wendys:
The European Refugee Crisis is Destroying Europe
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Mar 12, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
Ever since the Cologne sexual assaults by the refugees, things have gotten far worse in Germany. The press tends to still hide the crisis. Nevertheless, drawing only from German media reports which have made it to the public, a list documenting more than 160 instances of rape and sexual assault committed by refugees in train stations, swimming pools and other public places against victims as young as seven have been eye-opening to say the least. This is going to have a profound impact in the German elections next year but it is also tearing Europe apart and pressure builds to close borders to prevent these people from spreading out from Germany to the rest of Europe.
The New York-based conservative think tank Gatestone Institute has compiled a shocking list of sexual assaults and rapes by migrants in Germany in just the first two months of the year. This is stunning to put it mildly. Merkel does not appear to be able to survive this crisis.
Then nearly everyday some knife attacks among refugees are reported in the Austrian press. We have Africans against Arabs and those from Chechnya are against Afghanistan. In Austria, the general public is becoming terrified to even walk outside in many areas.
