Russian Coup & Civil War


Armstrong Economics Blog/Russia Posted Jun 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty, Socrates has simply outdone itself. You warned that Putin could face a coup by May/June 2023. That was a year ago. Nobody can beat Socrates, as you said at the WEC, not even you. Your gift to humanity is why they hate you so much.

Take care, my friend. We really do need you now.

REPLY: Yes, I know. This gives me no joy to pound my chest. We live not just in interesting times, but treacherous times as well. Everywhere I look, I see the same patterns of Rome reemerging over and over again. There will come a time that even the US Military will split and some will realize that the enemy is really within.

Putin’s speech is historic for he mentions “treason” and “mutiny” twice, but notice that he now explains that Russia is “fighting hard for its future”, implying that indeed it is at war with the United States and NATO that wants to see every Russian annihilated from the face of the Earth. I suppose it is no longer WOKE to go after people of race or gender confusion, so they have turned their sheer hatred against the Russian people which is still the same rooted hatred in bigotry.

Putin has also labeled the immediate events as an “internal mutiny” and a “stab in the back”, mentioning “Wagner” and said he is “doing anything I can to repel this attack.” This is the coup where Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, is leading this coup just as Roman generals did during the 3rd century. Prigozhin has said that Putin made the ‘wrong choice’ and soon Russia will have a ‘new president’ which is clearly a coup.

I have confirmed reports from multiple sources that Wagner’s forces and perhaps others who have defected are heading to Moscow. Additional reports are coming in that the Russian airforce is now attacking Wagner’s forces. Members of Wagner are now saying that the trigger for a CIVIL WAR was pulled by Putin. There does appear to be a major coup attempt that is emerging into civil war.

If we use the ECM from the day the Soviet Union flag was replaced with the Russian flag on December 25th, 1991, we reach the critical Pi Target on May 26th, 2023. Historically, that is where the worse part of the chaos begins to unfold going into the peak which in this case will be 2039. All the propaganda and demonizing of Putin to justify war is coming back in the face of those spouting this nonsense. This is a civil war unfolding as I have been warning. Their view is not that Putin is this demon, but he has been too “soft” and the military views that this war would have been over in 6 weeks had Russia attacked Ukraine as the US did to Iraq instead of just defending the Donbas. Replace Putin and we get World War III.

Lindsey Graham does not support the Constitution of the United States. When it came to the alleged terrorists, he wanted to deny them a lawyer. If an American was taken prisoner by a foreign enemy and denied human rights, he would be the first to champion an invasion. I lost all respect for Graham when he refused to comply with international law.

Here is Graham cheering that it’s the best money the US has ever spent to kill Russians. If it were Americans in the Donbas, the US would also be there to defend them in a civil war had it been instigated by Russia. This is a sick individual who takes pleasure in killing Russians. This is how Americans are being viewed because we elect such people. From overseas, the opinions of Americans are becoming one of the sheer warmongers who will sacrifice all of Europe to kill Russians. Macron of France is urging Europe to distance itself from the United States thanks to people like Graham.

From the outset, Graham has done nothing but preach war on Capital Hill. The Ukrainians do not live in the Donbas. They are NOT fighting for their freedom – that is all such BS. They are seeking to kill Russians and outlaw their religion and language. This is a territorial action – not for freedom, democracy, or justice.

Now we have Graham desperate to start World War III. He simply hates the Russian people. They are no longer Communists trying to spread Marxism. Putin never made on step to try to reconquer Eastern Europe. The Russian people do not want such a war. Nevertheless, all we have heard from Graham is more and more war.

Graham is perfectly willing to sacrifice every Ukrainian as long as they take a Russian with them. Over 8 million have fled to other countries. 3 million have fled back to Russia.

Graham and McCain met with the Ukrainian Nazis and cheered them on to go kill Russians. The problem Graham has is that statistically, even up to 10x the number of civilians are killed compared to soldiers.

Neocons have been around for centuries. They may lament when it is time to die, but that will mean nothing. They obviously do not believe in God or any last judgment or they would not do what they do.

To our Russian Readers

Graham does NOT represent the average American any more than his painting Russians are all Evil is true about the Russian people. Putin is correct. You are indeed fighting for the very survival of Russia as a sovereign state. Many sought to conquer Russia from Hitler and Napoleon while Stalin rejected Lenin’s idea and demanded authoritarian rule. Many have sought to invade Russia all for the wealth of your nation. Graham will probably be remembered for his hatred when the history books are written on this period into 2032. WHY SOME JUST ALWAYS WANT WAR IS ONE OF THE DARK SPECTS I SUPPOSE OF HUMANITY REGARDLESS OF THEIR NATIONALITY.

The Collapse in Confidence of US Government is Here


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jun 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Despite the cheering from the Washington Post, CNN, NY Times, the rest of the anti-Democracy press, and all the Democrats who were brainwashed into thinking Trump really won only because of Putin in the Hillary version of conspiracy theory (misinformation), what they have unleashed is the international collapse in confidence of the United States. Ever since Trump’s arrest, my phone has been in meltdown mode. People who were even on the fence about my case suddenly called and said gee, they use the criminal law for political purposes in the United States. Once upon a time, they trusted the United States. It seems that Trump’s arrest is now a sea-change in realization.

People are starting to wake up. The list of people they go after criminally who are whistleblowers in some capacity like Snowden and Julian Assange is just the tip of the iceberg. Criminally charging Trump was crossing the Rubicon. Then the Democrats stated that Biden will not debate anyone – Democrat or Republican. That is in itself a confirmation that he is not competent to be president. Yet he is the perfect patsy for the Neocons to run the show. When Lindsey Graham holds up a sheet and quotes Biden as authority for him and his fellow Neocons to declare war on Russia, it confirms what I have been saying. The United States is no longer a free nation. We are living in a coup, but the press is silent as was the press in every such incident from Communist Russia to Venezuela when the state turns against its people.

So, the Democrats who do not care about the Constitution or our future as a nation can cheer that this is your time to utterly destroy the other 50% of Americans who you despise so deeply. You will win the 2024 election if Biden can make it that far, and every investigation into him and Hunter will be blocked by the Department of Justice, FBI, and the NSA because this is now about the power resting in the hands of the Neocons who just want war. So pack your toothbrush, you will get to fight Russians in Ukraine and put your political dreams on the line.

These leftist zealots are cheering the end times like the Romans who they said were still laughing when the barbarians stormed the gates. For EVERY phone call I have had from Asia to Europe, they are all expressing complete shock that the United States is collapsing in the midst of political corruption. Suddenly, our forecast that the 2024 election might not even take place or certainly will not be real is starting to hit home. They are now all seeing that our forecast about the 2024 Presidential Election would be the most corrupt in history and mark the END of democracy in the United States is not so far-fetched.

These leftist people just do not get it. They crossed the Rubicon and now the view of the United States from the outside looking in, nobody seems to believe that America is still the beacon of liberty to the world. It is becoming so obvious that our computer will be right once again.

This year 2023 was a MAJOR turning point and an important Directional Change.  You can see that 2025 is the biggest target for a decade. Announcing that Biden will not debate anyone is on par. I am warning you that the Neocons need to create war with Russia BEFORE the November 2024 election for in their mind, no president has ever lost an election during war. It will also allow them to create the excuse to suspend the election during a national crisis.

Desantis – PLEASE stay here in Florida. They will never let anyone win that office anyway. The Neocons are in charge. Stalin was correct. It does not matter who you vote for. Those who count the votes decide the election. Anyone who thinks the CIA cannot rig the election is an absolute fool.

White House Press Corps Starts Asking Pointed Questions about Joe and Hunter Biden Following Whistleblower Transcript Release


Posted originally on the CTH on June 23, 2023 | Sundance 

Information provided by IRS whistleblowers indicates corruption and manipulation of the DOJ and FBI investigation of Hunter Biden by officials in both agencies.  The DOJ has denied the evidence of their involvement in a cover-up scheme to protect Hunter Biden.

Someone has authorized the media to begin using the Hunter Biden information to challenge Joe Biden.  White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre now fields several confrontational and probative questions from reporters regarding Hunter Biden.  WATCH:

.

The change in tone amid the tamed tribe of narrative engineers doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Those in operational control of corporate media have started the process to remove Joe Biden from eligibility in 2024.

This shift at the White House press briefing, follows donors to the DNC corporation expressing concern about the renomination of Joe Biden.  Keep watching….

AG Merrick Garland and DAG Lisa Monaco Deny any Main Justice Interference in Hunter Biden Investigation


Posted originally on the CTH on June 23, 2023 | Sundance 

Attorney General Merrick Garland and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco were asked today about allegations Main Justice had interfered in the criminal investigation of Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

AG Garland refutes the allegations that anyone in DOJ leadership interfered in the investigation, prosecution, or IRS criminal probe into the money laundering operations of Hunter and Joe Biden.  Watch Monaco. WATCH:

.

The transparency of the two-tiered system of justice is almost too visible.  While the FBI was hiding the Hunter Biden laptop, simultaneously the DOJ was seemingly manipulating the outcome of the Hunter Biden IRS investigation.  The result was a downplaying of the evidence that showed both Hunter Biden and Joe Biden participating in a bribery and pay-to-play scheme where they took foreign money to shape policy.

The visibility of the issues in/around the Biden operation is too transparent and now raising significant questions from even the staunchest Biden supporters.  The slap on the wrist outcome was almost too gentle in construct. Almost as if the Hunter Biden outcome was intended to be so clearly biased that media attention could not avoid seeing it and reporting on it.

The picture of our times is without question quite depressing certainly on a moral foundation if not on the material side as well. Our government has been seized by the Neocons who care nothing about the welfare of the state, only to bring death and destruction to their personal hated enemies. Every line that we read brings to mind the sad state of our future and the fact that the nation has fallen cascading into evil times.

First and foremost remains the outright moral deterioration domestically by companies rushing to jump on the WOKE bandwagon polarizing the nation and making discrimination against the gay community far worse than at any point in history. Perhaps the worst of all was Disney – a company that was supposed to care about children has turned into an evil empire that seeks to undermine the relationship that binds a family together.

I grew up with a boy who ended up being gay. We all played together. He did not know he was gay until puberty hit. Disney taking a stand to teach young children even about transgender is bordering on child abuse as a pedophile would talk about sex with a child. Disney’s new Pixar Movie ‘Elemental’ opened with the worse Box Office day in history – $29.6M. Public companies making political decisions violates their fiduciary duty and is polarizing the nation.

People are dumping stocks of those who have been endorsing this WOKE agenda and Disney is perhaps the worst of all for they are advocating indoctrinating children. Disney peaked back in February at around 113 and has fallen to about $87 – a 23% decline thanks to WOKE. Even the Washington Post is losing money and is starting to lay off people – probably anyone who has any independent thought is the first to go. It may be very dangerous to have WOKE stocks in your portfolio.

Add to this domestic upheaval dividing the country deeply, and we have the most corrupt and wretched Ukrainian War, which was begun in the pure spirit of Neocon hatred, greed, and ambition. This Ukrainian war began with foreign mercenaries volunteering only to return remarking how corrupt Ukraine really is to the point that American weapons are vanishing and being sold on the black market.  The lies of Zelensky have persisted shrouded in raw hatred and he refuses to negotiate peace rendering any reasonable solution hopeless. The greed of companies like Blackrock cheering on the deaths of hundreds of thousands and the more destruction the more profit they see in their eyes.

Year after year men and money had been lavished on the war to no effect and when the final catastrophe becomes apparent, World War III, Zelensky and his Ukrainians will be cheering but fail to understand that they will never again have their own country. You do not agree to be a proxy war for the United States and survive. The Neocons will bleed Ukraine dry economically and reduce its population. Zelensky has come out with the standard NEOCON propaganda that if Ukraine loses, Russia will then go take all of Eastern Europe. Russia has only taken the Donbas and could have utterly destroyed Ukraine just as the US did to Iraq. They did not destroy the power grid, the water supply, or the communications which has allowed Zelensky to plead to the world as if he is Joan of Arc in drag with his stiletto high heels. Russia has never had any interest in invading Eastern Europe or Western Europe and they have had more than 30 years to do so.

This is just standard Neocon propaganda and Zelensky spouts out the same nonsense. On top of that, Zelensky is telling Israel that they can stop the Iranian drones by starting an open war against Iran. So what if a few million people die? Zelensky is a psychopath when it comes to other people’s deaths. This Ukrainian government cares nothing for peace. They live and breathe nothing but hatred.

“If any candidate thinks supporting Ukraine is too costly, are they ready to go to war? Are they ready to fight? Send their children? Die?” Zelenskyy said. “They will have to do it anyway if NATO enters this war, and if Ukraine fails and Russia occupies us, they will move on to the Baltics or Poland or some other NATO country. And then the U.S. will have to choose between keeping NATO or entering the war.”

This Ukrainian War has weakened and destroyed the global economy. You now have IRAN and CHINA both pushing their alternatives to SWIFT. Besides ending world peace and the global economy, it has escalated inflation on a grand scale. The NEOCONS care nothing about the living standard of the people nor the economy going forward. They care even less about American or European livelihoods. Zelensky’s administration is purely evil people no different from the Nazis put on trial at Nuremberg.

The NEOCONS are manipulating society to achieve their personal goals no different than the Nazis. Goring’s remark at the Nuremberg Trial should be a warning to all of us for this is the same strategy being used by the NEOCONS to whip us up into World War III.

At home, the bulwarks of social order seemed to crumble away. Private wars, riots, open highway robbery, murder, abduction, and armed resistance to the law, prevailed on a scale that had been unknown since World War II around the world. The satellite evidence has suggested that the Trudeau government in Canada and his WEF climate change zealots have endorsed/created a false flag by setting Quebec on fire all to blame climate change to further get people to surrender their future to the WEF’s indoctrinated fools.

Everywhere we turn, people are creating insurmountable obstacles to world peace and the advancement of society both economically as well as geopolitically. We are headed to the destruction of the world economy as we know it. What we are headed into is an opportunity to remake the world into our vision of freedom – not Schwab’s vision of totalitarianism of Marxism. But in the process, all Western sovereign debt will default and from the ashes, China will replace the USA as the next financial capital of the world. BLACKROCK – kiss your ass goodbye and take your idol Schwab with you!

Forecasts & the ECM

COMMENT: Hello,
I remember you writing more than once last fall that the week of Nov 9th was targeted by the computer for something significant. That week was the elections, which I think everyone focused on. However, FTX also collapsed that week, which is pretty significant. You have yet to take credit for this great prediction.
Thank you so much for your work, you are a true humanitarian.
Respectfully submitted,
SL

REPLY: These forecasts are not my personal opinion. There are just so many such forecasts it becomes overwhelming to try to point out every single one when the model is covering the entire world. I am working diligently to do the book on the Economic Confidence Model and all I can hope is that with a track record of such forecasts since the 1970s, just maybe, people will open their eyes and understand we cannot manipulate society for political gain when we are all connected. No politicians can eliminate unemployment when the world is in a depression.

I am trying to document the turning points historically. I have gathered all the people who have discovered cycles in EVERY field. Only is economics has cycles been rejected because economists and politicians want to pretend they can manipulate the world. That is what Klaus Schwab is trying to do right now.

I hope to have this book out with the first edition for the attendees of the WEC com November.

Missing Titanic Tourist Sub Suffered Catastrophic Failure of Pressure Chamber, All Five Souls are Lost


Posted originally on the CTH on June 22, 2023 | Sundance 

Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger announced today that a remote operated underwater vehicle was able to locate the wreckage of the OceanGate tourist sub approximately 1,600 feet from the hull of the titanic. The mini submarine had been missing for four days.

The passengers on the 21-foot sub were British businessman Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his teenage son, Suleman, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate, the company that operates the vessel.   VIDEO:

CBS NEWS – Five people who were on a sub that went missing during a voyage to the wreckage of the Titanic did not survive, OceanGate, the company that planned the trip, said Thursday as the U.S. Coast Guard said the vessel experienced a “catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber,” and confirmed that the debris found on the sea floor were pieces of the missing sub.

“This is a incredibly unforgiving environment down there on the sea floor and the debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel,” Coast Guard Rear Adm. John Mauger told reporters.

An ROV, or remotely operated vehicle, from a Canadian vessel found the tail cone of the sub about 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic on Thursday morning, Mauger said during a briefing in Boston on Thursday afternoon. He said more debris was found and authorities consulted with experts who determined the debris was consistent with the sub.

“On behalf of the United States Coast Guard and the entire unified command, I offer my deepest condolences to the families,” Mauger said. “I can only imagine what this has been like for them, and I hope that this discovery provides some solace during this difficult time.” (read more)

Kennedy Gains Traction In the 2024 race for the US Presidency


Armstrong Economivs Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jun 22, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Democrats said they would not host a presidential debate, so Robert F. Kennedy is starting his own. All eyes are on Kennedy right now after appearing on Joe Rogan. Rogan was accused of spreading misinformation by having Kennedy on his show, so he offered money to anyone who could disprove what was said. Numerous donors have thrown money in the ring, and RFK’s team said the presidential candidate would happily appear on the show again to support all of his claims.

Elon Musk also hosted RFK on Twitter and held a public conversation covering controversial statements that the mainstream media refuses to report. Kennedy is calling out the establishment and the status quo. Big pharma, COVID, big tech, the woke agenda, intelligence agencies, and even the war in Ukraine is being questioned for the first time. I must say no other presidential candidate is this outspoken about topics that are totally dismissed as conspiracy theories.

RFK is a strong advocate of the first amendment. “The constitution was written for hard times and remedy for bad speech is more speech. It is not about cutting people off once you give the government the power to silence its critics, it then has license to commit any atrocity…the whole foundation of American democracy is we get to talk to each other about anything we want. We get to criticize our government,” Kennedy said during an interview.

RFK is piquing the interest of everyone in the middle who is not far left nor right. Kennedy knows that his life is in danger for publicizing his views. He knows that JFK was assassinated and has stated numerous times that it could happen to him too. The mainstream media will never report on the topics that RFK is covering. I am becoming increasingly impressed with his ideas – he’s someone to keep an eye on.

Pentagon: $6.2 BILLION in Ukraine Aid Missing Due to Accounting Error


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

The nation was distracted by the 24/7 news coverage about the submarine that went missing while cruising around to see the Titanic. It seems that there is always a big news story put forth on days when undesirable information is released. We know the entire conflict in Ukraine was planned many years ago (see: “The Plot to Seize Russia”). We know that Biden is in bed with Ukraine – bought and paid for. Now, the Pentagon is admitting that “due to accounting errors” they LOST $6.2 BILLION!

Did the money go to contractors? Politicians? Ukraine? The government refuses to say. Deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh explained that they originally thought $3 billion went missing, but the figure they are admitting to the public is closer to $6.2 billion. “We have confirmed that for FY23, the final calculation is $3.6 billion, and for FY22 it is $2.6 billion, for a combined total of $6.2 billion,” Singh said. “These valuation errors in no way limit or restricted the size of any of our PDAs or impacted the provision of support to Ukraine,” she added, as if taxpayers think that we aren’t doing enough for a foreign nation when America is a desperate state.

Everyone should be outraged. That is a HUGE sum of money that this indebted nation cannot afford to misplace. This entire situation reeks of corruption. If this happened under Trump, there would be a never-ending investigation from every angle. If you or I paid a penny less on our taxes, they would hunt us down with the full force of the law. That money was taken from hardworking Americans who pay their taxes. No taxation without representation is a faraway dream. WE DESERVE ANSWERS.
