Netanyahu

QUESTION: Do you know Benjamin Netanyahu? What do you think of him?

EJ

ANSWER: I did meet him once in Washington a long-term ago. Probably more than 20 years ago. I do not recall other than simply a cordial greeting at some political affair. So yes I have met him, but I do not know him. Therefore, I am not qualified to offer a personal opinion. Perhaps we are all creatures of our own destiny. The first president I ever met and shook hands with was John F, Kennedy when he visited Willingboro, New Jersey when I was just a boy. But unlike Bill Clinton, who also shook his hand as a boy, I was not inspired to become president of the United States. Good thing. I do not have the patience for fools. That would not make a good politician.

One of my favorite quotes is that of Lord Byron:

“Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.”

The Heart of Jenin


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted May 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

There are people in this conflict who are just hateful on both sides. My point has been that underneath that surface which captures the headlines, lies the common people who prefer just to live not to hate. There was a documentary film in Europe about an incredible story between one Palestinian family and the wrongful death of their son who was just 12 years old.

The story is about Ahmed who was just a small boy playing with two friends who had a toy gun when he was killed by an Israeli soldier who mistook the toy for a real weapon. His father, Dad Ismael Khatib, agreed to donate Ahmed’s organs. As if divine intervention from above took place, the body was divided into parts as if decreed by Salomon himself. One kidney went to a Bedouin boy, one to an Orthodox Jewish girl, and the heart to a Druse child.

Most of the suicide bombers come from Jenin. The documentary, Heart of Jenin, follows this Palestinian father Khatib as he travels from the Occupied Territories to visit the organ recipients in Israel. Ahmed’s father could have easily been hateful and refused to allow any organs to be harvested. This is a story about the other side of humanity that exists hidden by the hateful headlines of this cancel culture which is inspiring even more hatred.

Gates – Buying the Press to Hide his True Nature


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted May 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

It has long been known behind the facade of the upstanding media that Bill Gates was not exactly the quiet nerd. The information surrounding his arrest has been scrubbed, so all that remains is the fact that he was arrested for a traffic violation with no other details. It is not likely he was arrested for just speeding. Gates has been hiding out in California for perhaps the last three months. That makes him a resident, and he should be hit with California state income taxes since they need so much money these days.

Gates’ dream of extending his monopoly from the private sector (i.e., Microsoft) and transforming into dictator or puppet master of the world is starting to surface. He wishes to carry out his father’s dream of reducing the population of the unworthy to save the planet from his imaginary climate crisis. Our model still warns that his and Klaus Schwab’s dream of reducing the population will come because of their stupidity trying to force China and Russia to submit to their grand plan of the Great Reset. Their time remaining in this facade of control is short. It does not appear to last beyond 2022, but they have bribed politicians who will wrongly think that green is the way, and this will only lead to World War III post-2024.

Gates’ womanizing is starting to surface, as is the Nazi background of Schwab. Honestly, if this is what leads humanity, we can certainly see why it is doomed to be a new world that is anything but GREEN. It is one thing to be a womanizer like Bill Clinton, who is not trying to be the next Adolf opposed to Gates, who thinks he is so smart only his vision of how the world should work is valid — very Marxist. I was invited in 1996 to the White House Dinner. I sat with all the conservative journalists, including George Will. Clinton delivered a fantastic speech. They were growling and said, come on, you have to give it to him; he knows how to deliver a speech. So did FDR as well as Adolf Hitler. It takes charisma to deliver a great speech, and that has also been a talent among womanizers.

Puck-Evil-Press-1988-Nove-21

The press has been protecting Gates for a very long time. They have been taking grants from his foundation, including the British BBC. I have always offered advice to governments FREE because once you accept a dime, they will own you. Ironically, I have been called because they also know what advice I will deliver is untainted. Gates has bought the press just as he owns the WHO and is pulling the strings inside the United Nations along with Klaus Schwab.

Here is an illustration from Puck Weekly Magazine, “The Evil Spirits of the Modern Day Press,” published Nov. 21, 1888. See, history repeats because the passions of man never change. You guessed it – that was the US presidential election held on Tuesday, November 6, 1888. It saw the incumbent Grover Cleveland (Democrat), challenged by the Republican Benjamin Harrison who won. Then too, the general election was pretty close with Cleveland winning the popular vote just like Hillary, but by almost 1%, while Harrison managed to win the electoral vote 233 to 168.

Here you have Harper’s Weekly making fun of the fake news back then calling those in mainstream media in 1888 “evil.” There are also no mirrors in the Washington Press Core. The press assumes they are important and are also above the common people they try to manipulate with their stories. It has always been about manipulating the public. Ryan Holiday wrote for Forbes, taking on the role of a whistle-blower from the media. He wrote:

“I know this because I am a media manipulator. My job was to use the media to make people do or think things they otherwise would not. People like me are there, behind the curtain, pulling the puppet strings. But that is about to get harder: I’m spilling my secrets to you and turned my talents from exploiting media vulnerabilities to exposing them—for your benefit.”

People against Politicians Who Always Want War


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted May 13, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Are you saying that the people left alone do not hate each other, it is the politicians?

FK

ANSWER: Yes. They do not teach hatred in school in Israel or the Arab world directly. They will teach biased history but that is in all countries. There are families who have lost people and that is why the old adage was you kill your enemy and his family for the son will only grow up to avenge their father’s death. The hostility is fostered at the political level.

Today, we have a very serious problem. As Matt Taibbi has reported, journalists once challenged the Spy State. Now, They’re Agents of It. If we look at the polls on Russia, the media in pushing Hillary’s agenda have turned Russia into an evil empire. The press in the United States REFUSED to ever investigate the fact that the bankers were blackmailing Yeltsin in 2000 which is why he withdrew in 2000 and handed it to Putin. That is why Hillary blamed the Russians because she was behind trying to take over Russia for the bankers. The media has ensured there will be World War III because they have promoted the propaganda and never investigated anything.

The people are not the problem. If the politicians were removed, things would be different. Take the famous Treaty of Versailles of 1919 when Germany surrendered at World War I. The French politicians insisted that is where it would take place because the previous Treaty of Versailles of 1871 is where the French surrendered and the German Empire was born. Politicians have long memories. When I had meetings in Yugoslavia, I heard about the justification for genocide against Muslims because of their Jihad against the Serbs during the 14th century when the Ottoman Empire was expanding. Memories can go back hundreds of years in Europe far beyond the life of the United States.

It is important to separate the people from the state. The people usually have no desire for war. When FDR wanted to get into WWII, he went to Boston which was predominantly Irish. He had to promise he would only send materials. The Irish said that their sons would not die for the British who let the Irish starve to death which is why they migrated to American during the famine. Memories extend back in time.

The Birth of a Middle East War?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Middle East Re-Posted May 13, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

With the battle raging in Israel/Palestine, there is always going to be propaganda that points the finger at the other side. Over the past 15 years, Israel has fought wars multiple times, but as always, Israel is in danger of fighting a war where it “wins” tactically, but achieves nothing strategically.

Meanwhile, generations come and go and each remembers the loss to their family from the last war. There have been wars with Hezbollah and Hamas – in 2006, 2008-09, 2012, and 2014, and now again in 2021. Why is this one different? This is 72 years from the rebirth of Israel. However, this local cycle also aligned with 2020 on the major 172-year Revolutionary Cycle which has inspired the rise of the LEFT.

Why is this war different? The 2006 war was viewed as a victory by Israel. They believed that Hezbollah had been sufficiently deterred from another round of war. Then there was the Syrian Civil War which kept Hezbollah very busy. By Syria is no longer in play.  What gains Israel viewed in 2006 as imposing a real deterrence has faded into the night.

However, Hamas has been a different story. The last major war was in 2014, and while there have been many flare-ups, we are now 7 years from that major conflict, and the idea that Israel has imposed some sort of deterrence, the record of four wars in 12 years cannot be seen objectively as a successful deterrence.

Is Israel’s goal once more just a “deterrence”? In 2014, Israel appeared to try to get Hamas to stop shooting rockets so it bombed all the best targets. Then too, they bombed “command centers” and “intelligence centers.” However, the rockets kept firing. The danger here is that Israel will realize that their strategy of deterrence is not working and that means a real war with the ground troops and bombing where civilian casualties rise.

With Hamas firing rockets into Jerusalem, it is not the same as the Israelis firing into Gaza. This is not choosing sides. Jerusalem is the mother city to Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. This risk here is that destroying a holy site will only expand the war and put others on the side of the Jews.

Only a fool points fingers at the atrocities of the other side to justify the war and commit their own atrocities. We are all just the puppets of the elites. Even the Nazis at Nuremberg said they were only following orders. It was the experiments of Stanley Milgram who showed that people around the world would even torture others if told to (see Obedience to Authority). I have a staff of every race and religion. We all get along with no problems.

It is those in power that create wars. The Prince of Savoy who inspired the 2nd Amendment in the United States was a general for many kings. He came to the conclusion that kings were paying for standing armies and wanted to get their money worth. In part, this led to the theory that if there was only one government war would be abolished is in itself an acknowledgment that war is created by leaders – not the people.  However, centuries of war leave behind scars that will never heal like the feud between the French and the English, Catholics v Protestants in Ireland/England, and the hatred that remains festering in the Middle East over religion that dates back to the Crusades.

There are no peace talks that will ever remove the hatred for the people on both sides who have suffered at their hands of their elites. While the warmongers wage their hatred that prevents peace for the people who just want to live unmolested, the reality of this war is the accumulation of 72 years. The Biden Administration is far too preoccupied with climate change to grasp the real risks in this world and we are witnessing the consequences. We are plagued by hateful warmongers on all sides, and the delusion of world leaders that even know how to lead.

The concern that has been whispers over the last year is to install a military government and end democracy there as well. The only people who think they will benefit from war is always the elites. They are talking about imposing a military regime in Israel and imposing lockdowns and curfews.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Holds a Townhall Event at the Villages


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 13, 2021 | Sundance | 27 Comments

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a rising star in the republican party mostly for his MAGA alignment and steadfast approach toward common sense governance. DeSantis has been a great leader for the state of Florida and has nationwide recognition for his leadership style and fearless approach toward confronting the bias in media.

At 42-years-old with three kids DeSantis really does work tirelessly on behalf of his state. He is well known for traveling almost every day to meet people in every area of the state while conducting official state business. Grounded in pragmatic conservative principles the Florida governor has a firm commitment to individual reliance, freedom and liberty; this outlook has been clear in his approach toward the COVID crisis.

Yesterday Governor DeSantis held a townhall event at The Villages, and went into more details about both his personal perspectives and his outlook on current political issues that concern the voting electorate. The townhall event hosted by Newsmax is a great opportunity to get to know DeSantis.

Trump Endorsed Candidate for Virginia Governor, Glenn Youngkin, Wins Republican Primary

I don’t know much about Glenn Youngkin other than he was endorsed by President Trump.  That said, the Virginia governors race has been a bell-weather for the mid-term elections for quite a while.

Speaking of Virginia, a recent report shows that gasoline has reached $6.99/gal in the commonwealth.  “Drivers were shocked when they got to the pump at a gas station in Virginia. The price on the pump was $6.999 at a Richmond BP station earlier this week.” (LINK)

Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward Provides Update on Maricopa County Ballot Audit


Posted originally on the conservative tree hose on May 13, 2021 | Sundance | 305 Comments

The Arizona Senate raised the stakes within a stinging rebuke to Maricopa County officials on handling of 2020 election with allegations of serious errors that further question the 2020 election results. AZGOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward gives an update:

Additionally, in a very interesting development, there are now questions about whether the Maricopa County internal EMS database was deleted, or whether it was always connected to an external database and that is what the Board of Supervisors is really trying to hide.

The Maricopa Board of Supervisors has called for another emergency hearing today at 4:00pm to get legal advice after the Arizona Senate accused county officials of intentional misconduct and violations of the Senate subpoena that carried a judicially supported court order.

President Trump Highlights Maricopa County Audit that Shows “Main Database for all Election Related Data for the November 2020 General Election Has Been Removed”

From the Desk of President Trump – “A devastating letter written by Arizona Senate President Karen Fann on voting irregularities, and probably fraud, in Maricopa County during the 2020 Presidential Election. Even the database was illegally deleted after the subpoena to produce the information. Senate President Fann has invited Maricopa County officials to a public hearing on May 18 to allow them the opportunity to try to explain what happened to the missing databases, ballots, and other significant issues. The Fake News and Lamestream Media is doing everything they can not to cover this major story. They just refuse to talk or report about it. They don’t want the United States or World to see what is going on with our corrupt, third world election. [Read the full letter here]”

CDC Responding to Increased Sunlight and Questioning About Their Guidance Now Says Vaccinated Persons “can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic”


Posted originally on the Conservative tree house on May 13, 2021 | Sundance | 471 Comments

Over the past two weeks the questioning of the CDC has become intense.  A larger portion of the American electorate are awakening to the overall fraud perpetrated by the political operatives in control of the institution.  The most recent inflection point was a New York Times article that cited studies showing no evidence, not a single case, of COVID infection came from casual outdoor contact(s).

The leftist audience that reads the NYT responded like a cow had just randomly licked them on the forehead.  It is true that fish do not know they are in water…

“There’s a glaring omission from this discussion about why people “can’t quit” pandemic behaviors: the mental and emotional toll of the last year. After what many have been through—death, grief, isolation, stress, anxiety, unemployment, trauma—people are going to have some feelings around transitioning back to a less cautious way of life.” (link)

However, the reality of the evidence was always there in the results from states like Florida who quickly re-opened their businesses, allowed congregation, and never saw any issue with increased infection rates.  What the NYT published was basically just an affirmation  of what several states had been saying all along.  There was no scientific evidence to support the previous rules and restrictions from the CDC.

Additionally, in the face of growing questioning it was obvious the level of double-speak from the mouths of CDC officials and Anthony Fauci could no longer be reconciled; and is, in fact, running up against the reality of recent scientific evidence reflecting that most -if not all- of the prior CDC guidance was not based on science.

As customary when any general awakening starts to shift the narrative away from the control authority, the manipulators need to get out in front of the groundswell lest they look like the manipulative fools they are.  As a direct consequence the CDC comes out today with new guidance, while still clinging to their vaccine narrative.  CDC:

“If you’ve been fully vaccinated:

  • You can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic.
  • You can resume activities without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.” (link)

.

The CDC is clinging to the vaccination narrative because if they don’t then people will be even more likely to realize the overall COVID-19 narrative has been one massive fraud perpetrated upon people.

Why was COVID-19 being disproportionately hyped as such a dangerous threat, when the reality of the statistical danger was much less than the intense level of hype?… That is the key question.

The answer is… social, societal and governmental changes, under the guise of COVID-19 mitigation, are the entry point for the goals and aspirations of the political left on a national and global scale. COVID-19 is a virus, but also a very important political weapon, and we finding out now exactly what the purpose of the hype was all about.

What the political operatives inside the systems of government did was weaponize COVID-19 to attain ideological objectives. This is why they hyped the fear within COVID for over a year. Nothing within their plan required the approval or consent of any representative body in Washington DC.  The bureaucratic system was functioning as a totalitarian body controlling the behavior of people.

COVID-19 was always the tool to “fundamentally change” the way the United States exists.  Sometimes a CONSPIRACY THEORY is not a ‘theory’.

Anthony Fauci, a political ideologue and leftist advocate, was the primary government influence agent that led to trillions in economic damage and impacted the lives of all Americans with false assertions and brutally political virus mitigation efforts.
