The GOP Debate – Exposing the Neocons


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Aug 28, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty, you have been silent on the GOP debate. Many of us would love to hear your opinion.

JH

ANSWER: It was very disheartening to see those who supported Ukraine. Vivek Ramaswamy was the most level-headed, probably like Trump and RFK; he is not an indoctrinated politician preaching the party line. He said: “We are driving Russia further into China’s hands.”

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who seems to have a single missing to trash Trump, had no problem spouting out the traditional Neocon BS: “We will be next,”  Christie recently traveled to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian officials. He is not worth the space on the stage that he takes up and would be a great threat to our own national security and the lives of our children to be sent to yet another endless, unwinnable foreign war.

Then there is Vice President Mike Pence, who seemed to try to channel Ronald Reagan’s “peace through strength” mantra. He attacked Ramaswamy, saying he had a “pretty small view of the greatest nation on earth.” Pence has no idea of what went on. The Neocons tried to stop Reagan from meeting with Gorbachev, telling him he could not trust a Russian. Regan ignored the Neocons and met with him. Reagan pushed for Russia to join NATO. When Gorbachev was leaning in that direction, they staged a coup to overthrow him. That is when Yeltsin stood on the tank and stopped the coup. When the Neocons tried to rig the 2000 Russian election, even asking me to invest $10 billion into this scheme to take over Russia, and I refused, their stooge, Berezovsky, even called me on the phone to try to get me to comply. I think Pence should look at the facts. Reagan sought peace – not war. Pence has trashed the legacy of Reagan and should fade into the sunset and stop trying to lead the United States into World War III.

Then there is the former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. She lacked intelligence, clearly brainwashed by the Neocon agenda to accuse Ramaswamy of trying to side with a murderer in Putin. She, too, preached the Neocon agenda of lies. I lost all respect for her in that position.

Ramaswamy also tried to tar the rest of the stage as George W. Bush-era Neocons as beholden to the defense industry. “I wish you luck in your future career on the board of Lockheed or Raytheon,” Ramaswamy told Haley. She retaliated, saying, “You have no foreign-policy experience, and it shows.” That may have gotten the biggest applause of the night. But it also shows how reckless they are and how they have never learned ANYTHING from all the failed endless wars launched by the Neocons.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been more of a China hawk. He seemed to remain mostly silent during the back-and-forth on Ukraine. He chimed in and said that the U.S. aid to Ukraine should be conditioned on European countries doing more to help. He previously called Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine a “territorial dispute.” That much is absolutely correct. The Neocons started this civil war to weaken Russia, and they now have 40,000 American troops in Poland just waiting for the order to attack. The Neocons are horrible people who pray on their knees before they go to bed to Satin to give some excuse so they can order their pawns to attack Moscow.

I know some people hate Ramaswamy and accuse him of improper trading. Anyone who seems to step on a political stage these days must be delusional to think they can make a difference. The Neocons have seized control of the United States. Just look at all the indictments against Trump; they are COORDINATING all these attacks because they fear Trump the most. They have brainwashed so many Americans into hating Trump, which serves their purpose of driving us into World War III.

This is all part of the Decline & Fall of the United States. Just like Spain stole the financial capital of the world from Italy and then lost it to the Germans, who in turn held it briefly with the Flugers, they lost it to the Dutch, and they lost it to the Brits. It took World War I to undermine Britain, and it moved to America as a result. It is just our time to lose it to China. I do not have the luxury of a personal opinion. History dictates nobody retains it forever. Our computer governments want to get their hands on has already seen the trend. By the time we arrive in 2032, all these corrupt republics masquerading as democracies will end as they always do.

My opinion really means nothing. I cannot change what will be. Personally, I would NEVER vote for anyone who supports Ukraine. I lost most of my High School friends to Vietnam. What did they die for? I am tired of the endless lies and the Neocons trying to take over the world with their pretend democracy that denies the people any say in voting on matters of taxes or war. These people have shown that humanity has a very dark side, and the only way to advance is to deny political access to any of these people.

We cannot defeat the business cycle. This is part of it. I wish we could ban such people from public office, but that will never happen. It is just our fate. It does not matter if Biden remains in office or you elect one of these Neocon supporters like Nikki Haley. The Neocons will get their World War III. They control BOTH parties.

Disobey and Live – Maui Fire Barricades


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Aug 25, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

There are a number of factors that do not add up regarding the Maui fires. I am refraining from speculating, but based on the facts, the government allowed people to die. I reported that the fire hydrants were dry and the top official refused to use water reserves. The notification system and sirens mysteriously failed, leaving many clueless as to what was happening. Now it has been reported that the authorities barricaded residents within the fire zone.

Maui Police Chief John Pelletier said that the barricades were intended to prevent residents from coming into contact with over 30 downed power poles. Yet, they prevented the public from accessing Highway 30. Pelletier insists that the barricades were merely a suggestion, but first-hand reports state that people were forbidden to leave. Those who disobeyed and bypassed the barricades narrowly survived.

Kim Cuevas-Reyes told the Associated Press that she was fleeing the fires with her two sons when the authorities told her to turn right toward Lahaina’s Civic Center. She disobeyed and lived. “The gridlock would have left us there when the firestorm came,” said Cuevas-Reyes. “I would have had to tell my children to jump into the ocean as well and be boiled alive by the flames or we would have just died from smoke inhalation and roasted in the car.”

Another resident by the name Nate Baird was not aware of the fires until his two young sons said they smelled smores. He fled with his family but was told to turn around and go back to Lahaina. He disobeyed and lived. “Nobody realized how little time we really had,” Baird said. “Like even us being from the heart of the fire, we did not comprehend. Like we literally had minutes and one wrong turn. We would all be dead right now.”

What would you do if you were in the car with your family? Would you be obedient to authority or defy the law and save yourself? Stanley Milgram conducted a famous study that showed most people would blindly listen to an authoritative figure. COVID was a mass social experiment that also proved most people will blindly listen to authority figures. Even now, after knowing the damage that COVID caused, people are potentially willing to go back to masks and boosters despite it being ineffective the first time around. It is now more important than ever to think independently. No one is coming to save you and the authorities are not there to protect you.

As Stanley Milgram said:

“It may be that we are puppets – puppets controlled by the strings of society. But at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation.”

How to Socialize a Nation – Divide & Conquer


Armstrong Economics Blog/Socialist Re-Posted Aug 25, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: The Other Plan? | Trudeau, his Dad Pierre Elliot and Selfsame Joe Biden Socialist Goals. | “Every Time I Think of it I Get Mad.”
“Many Years Ago there was a book entitled Social Purpose for Canada, each chapter was written by a different person, one chapter was written by Pierre Elliot Trudeau. And this book was outlining how they could socialize Canada. Make it a social nation. You know what the plan was? Here’s what they said, “We can’t socialize Canada as long as Canada is strong and united.” “We must Balkanize Canada before we can socialize Canada.” That was the plan; and Trudeau worked at it. You know when he was giving millions of dollars to various groups in Canada he wasn’t doing it from the write motive. His motive was to socialize Canada and that’s really what went on. The average Canadian doesn’t know that. I heard about this book, got it at a library and read it and I was shocked to see what the plan was and how they’re working this plan [to] Balkanize Canada split it into small groups. Then they said we can socialize these small groups one by one and eventually get the whole country. This was the plan. Every time I think of it I get mad.” Bill McLeod, Canadian Revivalist (1919-2012) comment on Trudeau re: Social Purpose for Canada by Michael Oliver. Published: December 1961.

REPLY: The LEFT knows very well how to take over a country. They did that in Russia and China. You divide the people into groups and turn them all against each other. The transgengers in the US are 0.04%, yet you would think that they are the majority. Here you have a male coach going into the girl’s locker room to change because he claims he identifies as a woman. If I did that, I would be arrested. So if I say I identify as a woman, that means it’s OK? What about the rights of privacy of the girls in the locker room? They already can no longer dream of getting to the Olympics because some guy claims he is now a woman.

As I have said, there are plenty of transgenders in Thailand since it is the sex-change capital of the world. It is no big deal because they are also respectful and call themselves ladyboys. Here, they are being used to actually divide the country and create the exact opposite of what they have been manipulated to do – create disunity – not equality. Here we can no longer define a woman, and soon Mother’s Day is to be Birthing Person Day. This is part of the LEFT agenda. Divide the nation into race, genders, left, right, and PREVENT unity. When everyone is divided, then they will not join together to rise up against the real enemy – those manipulating society pretending to be elected officials.

This is the oldest strategy. If you divide the people, then they can be conquered. It is as simple as that. Julius Caesar was able to conquer Gaul despite being outnumbered more than 10 to 1 because the Gauls never united until it was too late. Even in the final battle during September 52 BC, Julius Caesar sealed his fate as a legendary military commander at the Battle of Alesia, where his army of 50,000 Romans defeated 200,000 Gauls in what is now modern-day Burgundy, France. The Celtic tribes were never united. Caesar defeated the Belgae tribes as well as the Helvetia. Had they all united, Caesar surely would not have conquered Europe. Hence, keep your opponents divided, and you will win.

Even Amazon’s internal documents exposed that the company rates their stores using a “diversity index” and determined the threat of unionization is “higher” at stores with “lower diversity.” This is what the WOKE movement is all about — DIVIDE & CONQUER! This is the entire object of the woke movement — divide and create hatred between the groups. This is the strategy of how the LEFT is taking the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Steve Bannon Outlines National American Destiny as Attached to Trump Destiny


Posted originally on the CTH on August 25, 2023 | Sundance 

Steve Bannon did an excellent monologue today outlining how President Donald Trump is one of only three people who have the destiny of the nation attached to their own destiny. {Direct Rumble Link}

Together with President Abraham Lincoln and President George Washington, the destiny of our constitutional Republic as intrinsically tied to President Donald Trump.

Brenden Dilly has an excellent encapsulation also:

“The streets have never had a President. They’ve never had someone they could relate to, at least on some level, about a particular struggle or unjust circumstance…

Until last night. Last night, the streets were given a champion. They were given someone who they could see being set up, railroaded, arrested, and humiliated, just the way they have for decades.

Real recognizes real, and last night, the establishment uniparty made what will go down as the biggest mistake in modern history.

They martyred Trump and gave the streets a reason to love him.

Former NY Gov Predicts Mass Uprising Over Migrants


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Aug 23, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Ex-NY Gov. David Paterson (D) admitted that he sees revolt as the only solution to the migrant crisis. The Democrat and former governor said he does not understand the open border policy. “The federal government just decided they are sending the people in, and we should just be happy. I don’t know what it is that they expect. They sent really no money,” Paterson said. “It could in some ways backfire when other cities have the same problem as New York City. There might be a kind of city-vs.-country revolt — which we probably need at this point.”

This is on target with our models that say 2024 will be an ugly year for democracy. The cost of living is unsustainable, and instead of proposing solutions, we see our leaders sending our funds to Ukraine and focusing on transexuals and controlling the weather. Biden’s vast corruption is blatant and ever staunch liberals cannot deny that he has interests elsewhere. His tone-deaf response to Maui and repeated stumbles show that he is incapable of managing even a bubble gum machine. But now, as poverty rises with the declining economy, people will not stand to see outsiders reap the benefits of government aid at their expense. Again, the borders were strategically opened as our government permitted a mass invasion.

All of the blue sanctuary cities are declaring a state of emergency over the number of migrants that continue to arrive. They have no solutions and their brain-dead proposals are leaving Americans vulnerable as undocumented unknown aliens, mostly military-aged men, roam the streets. Notice how tons of these undocumented aliens are not even from South America, but that is merely how they entered. Lone young men from around the world have infiltrated our society and are crippling our cities economically.

The virtue signaling and pandering of the far-left has serious repercussions. The White House thinks they are controlling the chaos, but the people are at a breaking point. Inflation and the migrant crisis are the only extremely heated bipartisan issues that everyone agrees on. As I said recently, Rome had peace for 1,000 years because everyone benefitted. No one is benefitting from the corrupt political environment we have today, and people are finally realizing they do not live in a real democracy.

Biden Selling Border Wall Supplies to Ensure it is Never Constructed


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Aug 22, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

It could not be any more evident that the Biden Administration is allowing a full-scale invasion of the US from the southern border. Trump asked for around $4 billion to secure the US-Mexico border wall, a small fraction of what the US is now spending on maintaining the countless illegal aliens. New York alone estimates they will need $12 billion over the next three years. These people who entered America illegally cannot work, pay taxes, or contribute to our society in any meaningful way. Their only means of survival are government handouts. There is a reason that there was a PROCESS for legal immigration that those who desired a better future with a path to citizenship. Now you can be poor or a criminal on the run and decide to seek asylum in Biden’s America. All of the politicians who champion sending hundreds of billion to secure Ukraine’s border voted against securing the US border. Their concern was not money. It is now clear that there is no plan to solve the migrant crisis because it was a deliberate and calculated invasion promoted by the US government.

Online auction house GovPlanet, specializing in military equipment, announced that it had sold 81 lots of steel “square structural tubes” that were intended to secure the border wall. The NY Post reported that GovPlanet sold that “surplus” for $2 million. Then they sold 729 of those beams for a mere $212 per piece. They are losing money by selling these items for pennies on the dollar, but time is of the essence for Biden as Republicans are proposing new legislation to reimplement the project. Biden wants to ensure that the wall is never constructed and has decided to throw away millions in supplies to keep the border open to everyone and anyone.

All of these supplies were purchased with US taxpayers’ dollars. Trump was mocked relentlessly for requesting a few billion to prevent this absolute madness. Republicans are now proposing the Finish It Act to ensure the government uses the $300 million of remaining construction material to secure the wall. Biden halted construction on his first day in office when he was instructed to undo every barrier to the Build Back Better agenda. He appointed Kamala Harris as the border tzar and she never bothered to visit because it was of no concern. They knew the plan — open the borders and let masses of people utterly dependent on the government in AND allow them to vote so they can keep their free meal tickets coming. This is absolute treasonous behavior; our own president is encouraging a mass invasion on American soil. Yes, our very president is hell-bent on destroying the country in any way possible.
