The Failed Promises We Made to the Youth


Posted originally on Mar 20, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |  

The video above is an accurate depiction of how Millennials and Gen Z are operating in today’s economy. They were told that working hard and obtaining a higher education could afford the American Dream. Instead, they are unable to access home ownership, begin families, and are crippled by debt. Analysts now seem perplexed at the birthrate crisis and why the younger generations are not having families. Those unfamiliar with stark differences in the cost of living over the last few decades do not understand that the promises made to the younger generations were built on lies.

The ad above was put forth by Coinbase, and while I have explained that crypto is NOT the solution, I do believe the solution will begin when the younger generations rise up. Those in Congress will not live to see the implications of the bills they pass. Once upon a time, a family could live comfortably on a salary of one. The head of the household need not have an extravagant job to support a family, as a worker at a factory could manage to supply his family with all they needed.

1940s MiddleClassFamily

Even in 1985, when the average person in the Baby Boomer generation turned 30, the average home in America was $82,800. In 2019, when Millennials turned 30, the average home price soared to $313,000. Gen Z is looking at a home price over $400,000. Now, the average income in the 1980s was around $23,464, meaning it would only take a few years to pay off a home that continued to appreciate in value. Yet we must factor in everything such as the price of tuition, inflation (goods, food, energy), the need for dual income and childcare services. There are endless variables but it all leads to a dead-end American dream for the youth.

This year, 2024, begins a sharp change in sentiments and a directional change followed by a major turning point in 2025. I have not seen the computer project something like this since 1985. Four of six models show a Trump victory, but the establishment simply will not let him win. Neither side will accept defeat, and we are looking at massive civil unrest paired with a war that will likely escalate over the summer months prior to the election that may be the last election held in the US. The computer shows real GDP in the US will decline into 2028, and inflation will rise due to international wars that produce absolutely nothing.

The Great Reset set for 2030 is NOT the solution, and their plan will fail. The world will change by 2032, but not due to the Great Reset. We are looking at the collapse of republican forms of government. By the time we get to 2032, that will be the light at the end of the tunnel. The USA will eventually break into three primary regions: 2) the South & Midwest Bible Belt will join together against, 2) the Northeast, and 3) the Pacific States will be their own la-la-land. The volatility will begin in 2024, but by 2032, the United States of America will not exist as it does today. The dollar will no longer be the reserve currency, as the yen will take its place. This does not mean that the world is ending, but rather, revolution is coming as the current system is collapsing before our eyes.

As the Country Divides – so do Families

Dividing Families

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, My son voted for Biden because he said Trump he thought was an asshole. We hardly talk any more for he is among the brainwashed. He will not change his mind, for he then has to admit he has been wrong. It has gotten to the point I am changing my will and he gets nothing. A few of my friends are in the same boat. This has divided the nation, but it is also destroying families.

GF

REPLY: I have friend who no longer talk to their children and they are European and that is over climate change and COVID. This is the hated that is a deliberate psychological war tactic that they have used against our own people. Who cares if Trump is arrogant as long as he keeps the world at peace, protects our privacy, and stands up against the Deep State? This is becoming a vote for Trump or Victoria Nuland – because Biden is not there. Families are being broken up, and there is no going back.

Jack King Marty Armstrong

My old partner, Jack King, out of the blue one day said to me if anything happens to him, make sure his children get nothing and everything was to go to his second wife. I do not know if it was a premonition, but three weeks later, Jack died of a heart attack while scuba diving. It was Jack who opened Japan. I had to honor his wishes. So, I have seen this far more often than one might think. I am in a similar position with someone else. Blood is not always thicker than water.

Twain on a fool

You cannot argue with a fool, for they will always claim to say what they know, but it takes wisdom to know what you are saying. Mark Twain said it best. It is far easier to fool someone, as your son has been brainwashed, but it is virtually impossible to reverse his thinking to convince him that he has been fooled. To a large extent, I see this in trading. People will hold onto a loss because they cannot admit they made a mistake. That is why it is a maxim in trading – NEVER marry the trade. Unfortunately, it may simply be irreversible. I have witnessed this too many times.

pSYCOLOGICAL wARFARE

As I have been trying to explain, the LEFT has been engaging in psychological warfare. The routinely demonize an opponent like Sadam Huesain, Putin, and they used that tactic of Trump. So you sone has been brainwashed and it’s no different that you still see people wearing masks and driving alone in their car. They have been psychologically damaged.

WEF Schwab You Will Own Nothing

Karl Marx and his followers view the family as a tool of capitalism. They believe its primary functions are to reproduce the workforce, pass down private property (maintaining class inequality), and act as a consumption unit to support the capitalist economy. It was more than just the state owning everything – you will own nothing and be happy as the World Economic Forum is pushing.

What this entire agenda is designed to do is to break up the family unit. This means that WEF, and Marxists, see society as being structured along class lines. Destroying the family unit ends the inequality for parents cannot then pass on anything of wealth to their children. There were some trying to push in Australia that upon your death, everything goes to the States – not your heirs. That did not go down very well. But it shows there are those out there with that mentality.

Marx insisted that institutions generally work in the interests of the elite bourgeoisie class, who have economic power over those of the much larger working class or proletariat. In Marxism, he attributed nothing to innovation and maintained that the bourgeoisie gains their wealth purely by exploiting the proletariat’s labor. For this reason, there is an inherent conflict of interest between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat in Marxism. Communism failed because innovation comes from free thinking. When you suppress individuality, the entire economy stagnates.

Nevertheless, no matter how often they fail, they are at it again because they are fools who never learn from their mistakes. What they are doing is the deliberate act of dividing the country and at the core they have been using Wokeness and demonizing Trump to destroy the family unit which they see as the foundation of the Communist state. Marx himself wrote:

“On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie.”

Marx advocated the confiscation of all property to destroy the family by simply abolishing the right to own property.

“The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.”

Gallup Poll is Democracy Working

The refusal of your son to objectively admit that he made a mistake in voting for Biden, which is only human. If he refuses to reconsider the facts and events since 2020, this warns that he is too far gone and likely unsalvageable. I know this is hard to swallow. Gallup Poll back in 1984 found that 61% of Americans were satisfied with U.S. democracy. It was nearly as high, at 60%, in 1991. Now in 2024, it is down to just 28%.

2032 Sixth Wave

Welcome to 2032

Trump fined $355+ Million Goldman Sachs $550 million for the Great Recession

Judge Against Trump

COMMENT: If you want justice, go to a whore house.  If you want to get screwed, go to a courthouse in N.Y.

UD

REPLY: That is probably very true. I guess you at least get what you pay for.

This fine imposed on Trump of $355 million, plus interest and penalties, is so outrageous it is furthering the collapse in confidence in the government, which has just become so corrupt and out of control. To put this in perspective, Goldman Sachs has agreed to pay $550 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the whole Mortgage-backed collapse they instigated. The billions of dollars lost by people was incalculable. It resulted in the Great Recession.

The entire world knows this NYC verdict is not just biased; it is deliberately interfering in the 2024 election. If Trump had not been running for president, none of these cases would have been brought. New York City has the most corrupt court system in the United States as well as many third world countries, and this verdict is proof of that fact.

Eighth Amendment

As I said, this verdict is so outrageous, along with the absurd jury award in the Carrol case; New York City is by no means a place to do business – EVER! The world is waking up. As I have said, when I asked a New York Lawyer why no banker ever goes to prison in NYC, his response was:

You Don’t Shit Where You Eat!

New York Governor Admits State Legal Targeting Was Only at Donald Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on February 19, 2024 | Sundance

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has admitted the lawfare deployed against the Trump organization and President Donald Trump himself was a specific plan for his targeting and any other business interests or people within New York should not be concerned.

It’s a rather brazen admission all things considered; however, if it changes the public outlook as the various New York lawfare cases against President Trump continue, is yet to be determined.

(Via The Hill) – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about” after former President Trump was hit with a $355 million fine and a ban on conducting business in New York for three years.

Hochul joined John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM, where she was asked if other New York businesspeople should be worried that if “they can do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody.”

“I think that this is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about, because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul responded. (read more)

F – New York!

Update Far Outside the Wire…


Posted originally on the CTH on February 18, 2024 | Sundance 

You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only option.” I think it was Bob Marley who said that… lol.  But it’s true.

I’m so far outside the wire trying to research, communicate, dig through the globalist lies and quantify the crazy in terms that are understandable; sometimes I think this effort itself is nuts.  Then again, being a dissident means living your best life, and don’t stop swinging for the fences.

The original plan was to meet with people who have a solid, I mean historically impenetrable understanding of how to organize a solidarity movement, then learn, learn… ask questions, seek counsel, find the network, and put the plans into an actionable effort that could be brought back to the USA. {GO DEEP}

Yes, in case you have not been paying attention, the best people to teach you how to defend against the looming communist, fascist and corporatist encroachment are the people who fought it.

The Eastern EU countries are the epicenter of the best rebel alliance thinkers.  Pulling the labeled dissidents into my orbit, learning and questioning, has been extremely interesting and seriously informative.

The initial plan was to bring a few people back with me to the U.S., then go on a short tour of several states for meetings and discussions with stateside allies.  However, some entity at the Dept of State intercepted the plan, and we have run into newly refused visa issues even though they were previously approved.

If I was a conspiracy minded person, I would notice these visa issues “happened” immediately after my laptops and other devices were compromised by a “virus” in Prague that rendered them useless.

That said, I am not quitting the effort to bring them to the U.S. yet.  Yep, ask those who know, and you’ll discover that putting a hurdle in front of a CTH plan only makes my resolve harden.   Also, there are far more good people inside the system trying to help than there are bad people trying to harm… the difference is the bad people are in positions of power and authority.  They are few, we are many – don’t forget that.

The EU farmers, truckers, machinists, general laborers with shakable calloused hands are all super insightful and full of no-quit in their DNA, -that’s super cool.

People stateside tell me I’m crazy for trying this… hell, who knows, maybe I am.  I’ve failed a lot… but I ain’t gonna quit.  I love this country, and she’s worth fighting for.   I don’t have the answers; I just know the current status quo is not going to work – not for me, not for you, and not for the generation behind us that deserves so much better.

If you’ve got a better idea, then tell me.  Don’t be quiet… speak.   I’ve got a lot of research complete and an entire network ready to mobilize to support any stateside effort.   The rest of the world knows how important 2024 is to the USA, and they are willing to put their time into helping us get President Trump back into office.

We already know if Donald Trump can take the MAGA fight back to Washington DC, the entire apparatus of government, and yes that includes your elected representatives, will fight to destroy him at every opportunity.  So, how exactly do we: (a) support President Trump, (b) push back against the weaponized state, (c) confront our government abusers?

There are more of us than them, yet each of our efforts seems to face the full force of “them” against a divided sense of “us.”  One of the ways we have discussed direct push back is a modern version of a workers solidarity movement.  Essentially, the creation of a system where targeted general work strikes can have an impact on the system that is targeting us.

It is one thing to discuss the Polish Solidarity Movement in esoteric terms of endearment.  It is another thing entirely to think about the application of a labor strike process within the United States where 370 million people live.  However, if you apply the concept of tactical civics simultaneously, you can make an argument the tactical civics are the shield (EU truckers), and the labor strike is the spear (EU farmers).

One of the advantages we have in the USA governmental structures is the “Republican Form of Government,” or the constitutional republic and the ability of states to determine their own interests.

Think about targeting now going in reverse, where WE THE PEOPLE now target the non-compliant system operators and/or politicians.  A Senator or Congress person aligns against Trump’s interests, our interests, and instead of gnashing our teeth, we immediately begin a targeted work stoppage in/around the representative’s district.  In this scenario we don’t need tens of millions to make an impact, only a few thousand can completely change the dynamic.

How does it work?  How is it possible?  How did the people of Poland pay their bills during the solidarity strikes?  How do you organize that process so that everyone can participate, and yet no one individually needs to carry the risk of losing?  These nuts-and-bolts questions are part of my research mission.

How effective would a Congressional District (CD-??) “sick-out” be?   Perhaps timed for every Wednesday, beginning on the {fill_in_the_blank_day}, and continuing until the representative understood that he/she alone was the cause of the economic trouble in their district.  You see, the general labor strike doesn’t need to be scaled to the size of Poland circa 1980’s; instead with modern communication, it can target very specific places and create just as big an impact.

The dismantling of a weaponized government first begins with a set of political representatives who are willing to take apart the institutional tools that government uses to weaponize their power.   As we saw with the hyped and yet failed Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government, once the public appears to be satiated with false hope from yet another created assembly, the representative group does nothing.

The urgency of the committee silo might look entirely different if the trash was not getting picked up in the committee members’ districts.  Or the lawns were not getting mowed, or the cooks stayed home, etc.

You never realize how strong you are until being strong is your only option.

I will have much more to share on this issue as we will likely have a lot of support from ordinary MAGA-minded people in a multitude of countries.  The Dutch, German, Polish, Romanian, French, Spanish and Irish farmers/truck drivers are figuring out how effective it can be if they push back with strategic solidarity.   We can learn a valuable lesson.

Whether Donald Trump wins the 2024 election or not, the same practical process will be needed.   If Trump wins the election, it will be to provide support under the auspices of unavoidable pressure.

We don’t wait for primary races to defeat the people who stand against us in 2025; instead, we trigger the financial consequences against them immediately.

If you’ve got better ideas, then share them.   If you think this effort can work, then HELP ME HERE.

Love to all,

Because People Keep Asking


Posted originally on the CTH on February 18, 2024 | Sundance 

I’m not sure exactly what the motive is behind this, nor do I fully understand how it ties into the FISA-702 renewal effort by the insufferable HPSCI Chairman Mike Turner, but everything negative being said about Michael Shellenberger is accurate.

Trust me, if there’s one person on this planet right now without the time to deal with this nonsense, it’s me. However, from what I can ascertain, Shellenberger is reciting old information dug up by independent researchers on the Spygate operation as it pertained to the CIA, FBI and larger IC.

Shellenberger is then claiming “sources” have confirmed the CIA ran intel operations against the Trump campaign in 2016 using foreign assets and foreign intelligence partners. This is old, old, very old, information being repackaged as if it was new information and sold to an audience for the price of $9.99 subscription. In my opinion, it’s a complete con.

I have no idea who this Shellenberger idiot is, nor do I really care. You cannot plagiarize me because I give all the CTH research and analytical writing away free – openly telling people to take it and make it their own, just don’t monetize it.

It appears Michael Shellenberger is a man of low moral character who is taking the independent research work of others, repackaging it and selling it as his own work product.

This activity is likely because Shellenberger, a leftist, didn’t believe it when the Spygate researchers were tearing apart the preferred narrative and delivering atomic truth bombs in 2017 and 2018.  Suddenly, as the weight of the truth comes forth, there is no denying what was previously proven.   Everything Shellenberger is claiming now is a rehash of old information, repackaged and sold to a duped audience for $9.99 each.

Everything he claims is new, isn’t.  It’s all previously cited, sourced and disseminated information.   It’s pretty low-class to try and dupe people just to make money, but hey… that’s what some people do.

I have two words for this type of operation, and it ain’t Merry Christmas.

Nuf Said.

Moving on…..

Love to all!
