I agree with Paul 100% Trump is on track to get the 1237 while Cruz thinks he can win on a 2nd or 3rd ballet — Cruz is wrong and Trump is right!

The World Economy is Closing In Thanks to Merkel
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Apr 12, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
Sometimes the brain-dead decision of one person can set off a contagion that sweeps the world. Merkel’s open invitation to the Muslim, pretend refugees has been tearing Europe apart. The majority are not even from Syria. European states will raise their borders and require a passport because so many of these Muslim “refugees” are unaccounted for, especially after the Brussels attack.
Ted Cruz had to respond to the rising support for Trump over this immigration issue, as it is also becoming the main focus in Britain. Cruz said Trump cannot block Muslims, so he proposed the politically correct version: all Europeans must get a visa to enter the USA. Now Europe is responding as nations always do and the European Union (EU) is currently considering requiring U.S. citizens and Canadians to apply for visas before visiting the country of their choice, even if it’s for a short vacation. Currently, visitors to the U.S. from Poland, Croatia, Cyprus, Bulgaria, and Romania all need a visa. Romanians and Bulgarians also need visas for Canada. The European Commission claims it is trying to achieve a full visa waiver for all member states, but in reality, this is a standard response to Cruz’s statement that he would introduce legislation to impose a visa requirement on all Europeans. The fear is that the Muslims who are interested in terrorism can get into the USA easily via Europe because of what Merkel has done. So we face the problem of closing borders within the EU because the refugees will spread, and that, unfortunately, becomes only logical. It does not appear to be reversible.
#DemocracySpring Protest Against Corporate Ownership of Politians

Over 400 protesters were arrested in Washington for exercising their First Amendment right Assemble and Free Speech. They were protesting the ownership of Congress by the banks and corporations. The movement is known as #DemocracySpring and is expected to run for the week. It has been taking place on Twitter and Facebook. Of course, politicians rely upon that money so they will throw these people in jail rather than address the issue.
GOPe Playing Very Dangerous Game With Current Political Con – Party Leadership Recommending Avoid Ohio Convention…
After the past dozen years do you really think the professionally republican give a rat’s ass about: Abortion, Gun Rights, the Christian Religion or Fiscal Responsibility? No of course they don’t! The professionally republicans i.e. the RNC/GOPe along with K Street and the DNC care only about one thing MONEY and how they can get their dirty hands on as much as they can. Money is derived from controlling legislative policy not social issues. The social issues are used by the professional republican class to make us think they are with us, even when they are not. In order to retain the legislative priorities the professional republican want: No limits or controls on campaign finance, Open borders to include comprehensive immigration reform, The retention of Obama Care, (their) Control over spending, and The Trans-Pacific Trade Deal. They don’t care a whit about us or we wouldn’t be where we are today. This is my view of how we got here.
How did we get from the world of the early 60’s to where we are now?
New York Poll: Donald Trump 60%, John Kasich 17%, Ted Cruz 14%…
Starting now there are 7 states that Trump should get all the delegates and which will put him over 1,000. After that West Virginia, California and New Jersey will put him over the top and the RNC/GOPe will have been beaten.
My prediction from a month ago which is still good.

Unreal – Paul Ryan Schedules Party Leadership Fundraiser at Home of Anti-Trump Super-PAC Donor…
There never was any real question about the RNC/GOPe not wanting Trump any where near the party except as a source of money and for sure never to run for anything! Now that he is about to become the party standard bearer they are in a state of panic hence this event which just gives more fuel to those that know the system is rigged.
Moonbat Action Has Real Life Consequences – University of Missouri Enrollment Collapses…
Why would anyone actually want to go to college today as when you graduate you will not get a job it will go to a illegal alien a migrant or someone with a visa that will work for a low wage.
The Catastrophic Mismanagement of the Economy & The Coming Meltdown
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Apr 11, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
We are finishing up the Pension Crisis – The Next Nightmare, which is a special report outlining the next global meltdown. Germany’s Federal Finance Minister Schaeuble is now openly blaming Mario Draghi for the electoral success of the AFD in Germany, which is the Alternative for Germany (In German: Alternative für Deutschland, AfD). The AFD is a right-wing populist party which is also the Eurosceptic political party in Germany. The ALF has risen from 0% to nearly 40% in about 2 years.
Additionally, Schaeuble seems to be rumbling that the ECB is creating a huge problem with negative interest rates because if the ECB does not change its monetary policy radically and soon, Germany will be engulfed in its own major Pension Crisis. We may see central banks will be forced to raise rates to now try to bail out pension funds. This has nothing to do with the economic trends.
The Pension Crisis is becoming a real nightmare for federal and state budgets are now dependent upon exceptionally low interest rates while pension funds are going bankrupt. Raising rates to help the pension funds wipes out government budgets. This entire idea of Keynesian Economics that government is capable of managing the economy by raising and lower interest rates is a complete disaster. These people are incapable of even forecasting the economy as former Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers has openly admitted to Bloomberg TV. Those who think they are endowed with magical power to manipulate society have created a complete mess and they are too brain-dead to realize the consequences are devastating. Our computer is extremely bearish on government. The turning point 2015.75 was the PEAK IN GOVERNMENT. Ever since that turning point, we have begun the downhill move destine to collapse into January 2020 (2020.05).
US Airlines — the Unfriendly Skies
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Apr 11, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
Airlines in the United States, including Delta, American, and United, are engaging in outright criminal behavior under the anti-trust laws. They charge a $200 fee to change a ticket, even if the ticket itself costs $200, and if you complain they respond by saying that all of the airlines charge the same fee. That proves that they are violating the anti-trust laws for they are not competing. Instead, they have all agreed to treat their passengers as victims.
Granted, the airlines had a bad decade after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Terrorism fears, security costs, and rising fuel prices along with hidden taxes caused revenues to decline and some U.S. carriers were even forced into bankruptcy. The airlines have tried to improve their situation by screwing their passengers to the point that it’s just unpleasant to fly on them anymore. Personally, I never use American carriers overseas anymore as they nickel and dime customers in ways big and small. I even bought a first-class ticket domestically in case I had to change it, but I later found out that only applies internationally. So, no matter what class you fly, they will screw you and leave a bad taste in your mouth. These policies do not inspire loyal customers.
Abusive bag fees and refusing to provide refunds, even when they resell the seat at double the revenue, would be fraud in any other industry. The airlines in America have been ramping up federal lobbying efforts on a grand scale. The airlines, like the bankers, buy both sides, and in doing so, exempt themselves from anti-trust prosecution. The airlines are following the course of the bankers — just buy Congress and you get to do anything.
Charlie LeDuff Video Highlights the GOP Disconnect via Vichy Republicanism at National Review…
This video is it — all that is wrong in a nut shell 6 minutes long — The elites have sold us down the river only so they could put a few dollars in their pockets. Well despite what they think; we know a lot more than they will ever know and the time has come to throw the bums out.
This post will show you what they have done to us.
This is what 25 years of Democrat and Republican rule has given us
