Ukraine Complete Disaster – Neocons Lose Again?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine Re-Posted Jul 25, 2023 by Martin Armstron

Ukraine is a complete disaster. I have been warning that our sources from UKRAINE, not Russia, have been warning that the country is on the brink of collapse. The American Neocons are being confronted with the fact that there NEVER was any chance that Ukraine would defeat Russia and putting this high-heel questionable gender dancer in high heels in charge of war was in itself a war crime. There is absolutely no war Ukraine can win anything. This is why Zelensky has been so desperate o drag in NATO because he knows they cannot retake the Donbas no less defeat Russia. The American Neocons were hoping to weaken Russia so they could contrive some scheme to justify going in for the kill.

There are rumblings behind the curtain now that a peace deal has to be struck of Ukraine will collapse if their own troops do not rise up and assassinate Zelensky for his profiteering and slaughter of his own people. After all, numerous Roman generals found themselves in a position where they did not want to fight so they assassinated their leader. In the case of Maximinus I (235-238AD), his own men, humiliated by their defeat, now entered the tent of Maximinus and murdered him. To demonstrate their new loyalty to Rome, they cut off his head and sent it to Rome. This was no isolated incident. It became rather common for the troops when ordered to fight a wrong war, turned to assassinate their own general.

The fact that the Wall Street Journal on July 23rd wrote:

“Western military officials knew Kyiv didn’t have all the training or weapons—from shells to warplanes—that it needed to dislodge Russian forces. But they hoped Ukrainian courage and resourcefulness would carry the day.”

The fact that this even appeared in the press shows that there is discontent behind the curtail. All we have heard to date are lies about how Russia is weak and losing. That is precisely the opposite of the truth and that is info from Ukraine – NOT Russia. Zelensky has kept up a false image of victory only to keep the money flowing into Ukraine. The population of Ukraine had stood at about 36 million before the war. At least 500,000 are now dead and the real number of Ukrainians who have fled their home may now exceed 10 million. Zelensky has destroyed his country all for the Donbas which was never Ukrainian territory nor occupied by Ukrainians. This has been a proxy war against Russia and Zelensky has BETRAYED HIS OWN PEOPLE for a handful of silver.

Selensky’s dream of selling Ukraine to Blackrock is really disgusting. He has had no problem letter his country brun because the more that burns, the greater the rebuilding project. He has been bragging that this will be the biggest investment opportunity for Europe with no mention of how many Ukrainians must die for he dream. Many have compared him to Nero letting Rome burn so he could build his grand golden palace.

Poland is likely to take Western Ukraine in the outcome here. That was their territory 1918-1945 and the Ukrainians slaughtered more than 100,000 Polish simply for ethnic cleansing. What is not given a lot of attention is that within Ukraine, there are ethnic Polish and Hungarians who have also been abused by the Ukrainians. The Ukrainians did far worse than just killing Polish for which they have refused to ever apologize.

The Polish Association of Memory of Victims of Crimes of Ukrainian Nationalists documented 135 methods of torture and murder practiced by Ukrainian Nazis. Poland officially called the Ukrainian actions genocide. The Ukrainians have been protected by the CIA for decades ONLY because they hated Russians. They continue to protect the Ukrainian Nazis only because they are waging war against Russia.

The Ukrainians were unprecedented in their war crimes during WWII and the sheer outright cruelty one would expect only exists in some B-Rated horror movies. This included:

  • Running children through with stakes
  • Cutting a person’s throat and pulling their tongue out through the hole
  • Sawing a person’s torso in half with a carpenter’s saw
  • Cutting open the belly of a woman in an advanced stage of pregnancy, removing the fetus, and replacing it with a live cat, before sewing up her abdomen.
  • Cutting open a pregnant women’s abdomen and pouring in broken glass
  • Nailing a small child to a door.

In retribution, Ukraine is likely to lose the Western provinces to Poland. As I have said before, Ukraine had finally achieved sovereignty. They have thrown that all away for their hatred of Russians when in fact the

What the Ukrainians overlook is that Stalin’s seizure of the food from Ukraine and their starvation have two MAJOR factors they do not want to acknowledge.

(1) Stalin was not Russian, he was from Georgia.

(2) Stalin’s right-hand man proposed starving Ukraine and he was Ukrainian – NOT Russian.

Lazar Kaganovich (1893-1991) was in charge of taking the food from Ukraine. Some say he was Jewish and sought retribution against the anti-Jewish attitude in Ukraine. His real name was KAGANOVICH, LAZAR MOISEYEVICH. He joined the Communist Party in 1911 and became a member of the Kiev committee of the party in 1914. The following year, he was arrested and restricted to residence in Kabana. He fled Ukraine and lived in various parts of Russia under the false name of Kaganovich. There he played an active role in the October Revolution in the Red Army. He rose to be the right hand of Stalin and then convinced Stalin to take the food from Ukraine most likely as retribution for his arrest.

Ukraine is a very troubled country. Its people suffer under propaganda and Bandera’s philosophy was pure hatred and ethnic cleansing. In speaking with some very naive Ukrainians, they were told they had to fight for Russia and would not stop with the Donbas. Now they will lose a lot and the West is more likely to be taken by Poland. The only peace deal will be to surrender the Donbas to Russia. Odessa at best would be a neutral demilitarized city to allow access to a port for exports. Zelensky is desperately still seeking to get NATO to intervene and now escort their grain exports. He will never be satisfied until he creates world war III. The entire population of Ukraine stands at best 0.4% – not even half of one percent of the world population.

If I Were The Deep State – Deploying Relentless Lawfare

Excellent video presented by Lauren3ve {Direct Rumble LinkWATCH:

Exceptional article, outlining the Biden DC agenda and the perspective of the American majority.  This is the crux, the essence, the core reason behind the upcoming victory of the American people, through Trump, over a comprehensively corrupt DC apparatus:

[…] What we have seen over the years is that every time the Deep State tries to hurt President Trump, his poll numbers rise, and he is able to fund-raise even more than before. It is an inexplicable reaction that frustrates Democrats, who fail to understand that most Americans are honest, ethical, and busy individuals, committed to caring for their families, attending church, and being active in the community. Most voters do not understand the complexities of national security laws. Nor do they believe that Trump committed felony violations by participating in a conspiracy to obstruct justice.

Voters may not remember their civics classes, but they know that Trump has always cared about America’s standing in the world. From the moment he descended the escalator at Trump Tower in 2015, Trump’s brand is that he wants America to win. Even in television interviews in the late 1980s and 1990s, Trump’s single-most consistent grievance against American officials was that they let foreigners take advantage of America and get ahead at the nation’s cost. For Trump watchers, the Make America Great Again campaign started more than 30 years ago. (read more)

Hunter Biden Business Associate to Testify as Witness that VP Joe Biden Was on Phone Calls Organizing Influence Needs


Posted originally on the CTH on July 24, 2023 | Sundance 

Devon Archer was a good friend and business associate of Hunter Biden. According to reports from the New York Post, Archer is now scheduled to deliver witness testimony that he was present during approximately two dozen phone calls where Joe Biden was organizing business operations with his son Hunter Biden.

Joe Biden has previously denied any involvement with the business affairs of Hunter Biden. The business of Hunter Biden essentially boils down to Hunter selling various business executives on the ability of his father to use his political position to influence government action. Devon Archer was part of the conversations and a witness to the phone calls between various executives, Hunter and Joe.

(Via New York Post) – […] Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devon Archer, the first son’s former best friend.

Archer, 48, who is facing jail for his role in a $60 million bond fraud, is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee about meetings he witnessed that were attended by Joe Biden either in person or via speakerphone when Hunter would call his father and introduce him to foreign business partners or prospective investors.

“We are looking forward very much to hearing from Devon Archer about all the times he has witnessed Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden’s overseas business partners when he was vice president, including on speakerphone,” said Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the committee chairman.

One such meeting was in Dubai late in the evening of Friday, Dec. 4, 2015, after a board meeting of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which was paying Hunter $83,000 a month as a director.

Archer, who also was a director, is expected to testify that, after dinner with the Burisma board at the Burj Al Arab Hotel, he and Hunter traveled six miles north to the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach to have a drink with one of Hunter’s friends. (read more)

In the big picture, setting aside impeachment or other political fallout, there’s very little likelihood Joe Biden could ever win reelection.   Beyond the issues of increased visibility on the bribery, corruption and influence peddling aspects, the issue of Biden’s cognitive decline and physical inability, represent the proverbial cherry on the cake.

It is an intellectually honest position to say Joe Biden is extremely unlikely to be the DNC club nominee in 2024.  The issue for that part of the political discussion then centers around how he would exit – or be exited.

Failing health would be the most transparently obvious justification to remove Biden that affords him and the corrupt circle around him the ability to avoid the scrutiny for the illegal conduct.  However, there are quite a few alternate possibilities depending on the willful acquiescence (or refusal) of the Biden syndicate.

The corporations, multinationals, billionaires and global elite institutions who determine the illusion of choice in the U.S. election system, have likely already assembled the narrative process for Biden’s removal, and we simply await deployment.  Under the guise of Biden health issues, there is no rush for removal.

California Governor Gavin Newsom appears to have been positioned as the beneficiary of the club support; we just have to wait and watch for the rollout.

In my opinion, if the plan is generally something close to this outline, the timing of the triggering is more likely contingent upon the removal of Donald Trump from the right side of the illusion construct.

Something like a Newsom -vs- DeSantis 2024 race has always presented as the best option for those who control the illusion of choice, of course that structure is dependent on the removal of Donald Trump.  So far, DeSantis is unable to fulfill his requirement to achieve the desired club outcome; the Sea Island billionaires are not pleased with the inability of the DeSantis handlers to effectively manage this process.

It certainly looks like the outcome for Joe Biden is in a holding pattern, as those who need to pull the trigger for his removal are waiting to see what Lawfare and the DC system can do to support the DeSantis side of the objective.   If they lose DeSantis completely, can Sea Island replace with a Tim Scott or similar?  Would this be their better play?

There are a lot of variables in the background, but the Joe Biden removal process itself all points in one direction – toward a foregone conclusion.

Hillary and Bill were guilty of selling political influence for financial gain, the FBI protected them, they rode off into the sunset.

Hunter and Joe are guilty of selling political influence for financial gain, the FBI have been protecting them, we wait their departure.

There’s a pattern to this.

The NATO Crisis Pushing Us into War


Armstrong Economics Blog/NATO Re-Posted Jul 14, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

I have been very busy with the whole NATO meeting and questions coming in from important sources. Fortunately, there are some who are looking at our model’s forecast. NATO has stated that while Ukraine can join the military alliance, that will only happen “when allies agree and conditions are met.” Zelensky, who I have ZERO respect for and who I see as nothing more than a war criminal and a profiteer allowing his country to be destroyed.

All of this so he can enter his dream deal with Blackrock to create the “biggest” investment opportunity in European history. Zelensky has continually criticized the “absurd” delay in joining NATO when the rules are unambiguous – NATO cannot accept any member who is at war. Zelensky cares nothing about the world – just the annihilation of Russia.

01:45

Zelensky who only wears army clothing to psychologically present that Ukraine is at war and will never dress as a head of state should. FDR and Churchill never dressed like that nor did Tony Blair or Bush. Everything he does is a psychological tactic to get money. Zelensky has refused to accept the rules of NATO that Ukraine cannot join while it is at war with Russia. My Ukrainian sources are viewing Zelensky for what he is – a despicable profiteer and an actor. Before he was president, he did not claim to be Jewish. He joked about confiscating the property of Jews. His children were baptized and were not raised Jewish. Just another lie in his thirst for profiteering.

Zelensky has destroyed Ukraine all for a land grab of territory that has historically been Russian for centuries. The hatred of Russians would only lead to genocide if Ukraine got its hands on the Donbas. Proof of that statement was the massacre of Russians in Odessa in 2014 which began the entire separatist movement. Quebec wanted to separate from Canada. They did not launch a civil war and begin bombing citizens in Quebec. The Donbas had a basic human right to decide their own fate while the Ukrainians did the same to separate from Russia.

Meanwhile, NATO clearly wants the war to continue while pretending they are not waging war directly against Russia. This is why they are also sticking to the rules to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO. Nevertheless, they are providing Ukraine with everything a NATO member would get except “official” NATO troops on the ground. We know that NATO troops are there, just without insignia to pretend they are mercenary troops – not sanctioned by NATO.

NATO has agreed to begin an F-16 training program in Europe in August to train Ukrainian pilots on the warplanes that the Ukrainians will use to invade both Russia as well as Crimea. Clearly, NATO is under the control of the Neocons and they are hoping for an excuse to justify World War III to conquer Russia while asking China to please wait patiently in line for their turn. They know this is crossing the line to provoke Russia. NATO is sacrificing the Ukrainian people for their end goal – the total destruction of Russia. This is why I call them the North Atlantic Terror Organization. All they care about is war – not the people of Europe or America where we are to sacrifice not just our children for their warmongering, but the future of the entire world economy.

As a result, Putin has responded by sending an ultimatum to NATO that handing any F-16s to Ukraine would now be considered a “nuclear threat” since they are capable of delivering B61 nuclear bombs and Ukrainians are simply irresponsible itching to engulf the entire world in war. Russia has for the first time upgraded the threat meaning that if F-16s are delivered to Ukraine, this will automatically activate their nuclear deterrence doctrine. The hardliners in Russia are screaming for they fully know the objectives of the American Neocons and handing F-16s to Ukraine will subject Russia to the risk of a surprise nuclear attack.

Upon returning from the NATO meeting, Biden immediately call in all in selected reserves and other individuals for active duty. The unspoken outcome of the NATO meeting is that they simply want war and the Donbas is merely the excuse to justify the conquest of Russia – the Neocon dream for decades. We are preparing for war and as I said, the Neocons are deeply afraid of Trump or anyone else coming into the White House. They will need to start a war using some false flag trying to provoke Russia for they know Biden is toast. The scuttlebutt is that no president has ever lost an election in a time of war.

Zelensky has called for the suspension of elections while the war continues. So he has no incentive to seek peace which is why he told the Pope not to seek peace and NATO needs to claim that a nuclear attack of any sort on Ukraine will be a threat to the EU so that will bypass the whole NATO membership issue.

You can see that our international war model which was published back in 2019 has been targeting 2023 for years. This is what many in strategic positions have been inquiring about. The outcome is not going to be favorable to Western Civilization. But the Neocons have full control of the White House and NATO itself. The only European leader cautioning following the United States has been Macron in France.

Zelensky will go down in the history books along with Hitler and a few others. We are to lose our future, that of our children all for Neocons’ and Ukraine’s rabid hated of Russians?

Top Men Close Investigation into White House Cocaine – Secret Service Say Too Difficult to Trace Ownership


Posted originally on the CTH on July 13, 2023 | Sundance 

Well, I guess that’s that.  The top men in charge of investigating the cocaine that was found in the west wing of the White House have said it was too difficult to figure out where it came from. The case is now closed.

CNN — The Secret Service has concluded its investigation into the small bag of cocaine found at the White House and has been unable to identify a suspect, according to a statement from the US Secret Service.

Secret Service officials combed through “security systems” and indexed “several hundreds individuals” who entered the West Wing in the days preceding the discovery and were unable to identify a suspect, according to the USSS statement. The Secret Service said FBI lab results from the packaging found “insufficient DNA” and could not retrieve any fingerprints. “Therefore, the Secret Service is not able to compare evidence against the known pool of individuals,” a statement from the USSS said.

Investigators were also unable to identify the particular moment or day when the baggie was left inside the West Wing cubby near the lower-level entrance where it was discovered.

“There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area,” the agency’s statement said. “Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. At this time, the Secret Service’s investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence.” (more)

US Sending Most Deadly of All Weapons to Ukraine That Kills More Civilian Than Soldiers


Armstrong Economics Blog/Neocons Re-Posted Jul 10, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Cluster Bombs kill more civilians than soldiers and are one of the most lethal weapons that destroy any territory. More than 120 countries have signed on to an international treaty banning the weapons, which typically scatter a large number of smaller so-called bomblets over a large area that can kill or maim unwary civilians months or years later. The United States refuses to sign the treaty. Our Neocons block anything to reduce their blood-thirsty hatred of Russians and Chinese. The United States is kept divided, using abortion and LGBTQ and pushing transgender on minor children all to divert our attention from the cold hard reality that the United States has undergone a coup where the Neocons are now in full control of the government and intend to wage world war III. There is no way they will allow Trump to win, nor will they allow RFK Jr. Biden will win and the CIA, etc, will ensure the vote is rigged in 2024. There is no way they will allow anyone to come to Washington to stop this war they have dreamed about their entire lives.

The US has maintained that Cluster Bombs are a war crime in themselves. Yet, the United States intends to now send Cluster Bombs to Ukraine. The Neocons care nothing about international law or even the opinion others have of the United States. The Neocons have pushed torture in Guantanamo Bay and don’t forget about what they did in the Middle East. The Neocons directed the United States Army and the Central Intelligence Agency to commit a series of human rights violations and war crimes against detainees in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq,

What they did in  Abu Grab was a war crime but nobody in Washington will dare accuse a Neocon. The US pays professionals on how to torture. There would be nobody in Guantanamo Bay prison if they were guilty. They would put them on trial publically and pump up the press and the prosecutors would become famous and then run for political office. Their best case was put on trial and the jury found him innocent of over 200 charges and guilty of only one count of conspiracy.  Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was the best case they had. Obama reiterated his first campaign promise to close Guantanamo Bay and end torture back in 2008. – it’s still open.

Neocons always do whatever they want. They will NEVER comply with international law and could care nothing about tarnishing the image of Americans worldwide.

Biden Approves Sending Cluster Bombs to Ukraine as NATO Prepares for Discussions of Ukraine Entering Alliance


Posted originally on the CTH on July 8, 2023 | Sundance 

This latest development from the Biden administration is concerning on many levels.

The White House is announcing their approval to send cluster bombs to Ukraine in an effort to provide a very deadly and dangerous type of munitions that have been resoundingly criticized by most of the western alliance. Cluster bombs are not just dangerous on the battlefield, they are also notorious for creating collateral civilian damage.

That said, when you overlay the reality of the Ukraine policy, essentially World War Reddit, being driven in large part by a psychological operation that is challenging to figure out from a reality perspective; in combination with very unstable people in the U.S. government seemingly playing war within the larger policy agenda; one must also look at this from a Russian intelligence position.

Is the Biden administration really willing to deploy cluster bombs or is this some PR narrative intended to give the impression the U.S. is willing to up the stakes in the use of weapons that will continue escalating, regardless of consequence. There are a lot of unstable minds within this larger Ukraine narrative as promoted by the White House, Pentagon and State Dept (CIA).

WASHINGTON DC – The Biden administration on Friday announced it will include cluster bombs in the United States’ next $800 million weapons package for Ukraine, as well as armored vehicles and air defense missiles.

President Joe Biden acknowledged it took some time to be convinced to provide the controversial weapons, but he stressed the importance of supporting Ukraine’s ammunition supplies while preserving U.S. inventories, as well as discussing how Kyiv plans to deploy the bombs.

“We’re in a situation where Ukraine continues to be brutally attacked across the board by these cluster munitions with dud rates that are very high,” Biden said in an upcoming interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan also responded to humanitarian concerns about the controversial cluster bombs by emphasizing the need to provide Kyiv with artillery and by saying that Ukraine has already been targeted by Russia’s cluster bombs.

“We recognize that cluster munitions created risk of civilian harm from unexploded ordnance,” Sullivan said during a White House press briefing. “This is why we deferred the decision for as long as we could, but there is also a massive risk of civilian harm if Russian troops and tanks roll over Ukrainian positions and take more Ukrainian territory and subjugate more Ukrainian civilians because Ukraine does not have enough artillery.”

Cluster munitions are designed to destroy multiple targets at once by dropping explosive “bomblets” over a wide area, risking potentially harming civilians or other unintended targets. Both sides are already actively using the weapons. Ukrainian cluster munitions killed at least eight civilians in Izium last year, according to Human Rights Watch. (read more)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The White House on Friday said President Joe Biden and fellow NATO leaders will discuss at next week’s summit what steps Ukraine must complete to join NATO and that Kyiv has additional reforms to make, as it fights Russian invaders.

Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, said Ukraine will not be voted into NATO membership at the summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, but he encouraged Ukraine’s President Volodomyr Zelenskiy to attend to discuss the matter.

“The NATO summit will dive into the question of NATO’s relationship with Ukraine both the question of its pathway towards future membership and the question of an ongoing partnership that has existed for several years,” he said. (read more)

The Least Popular President in 70 Years        


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jul 6, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Every poll imaginable shows Biden and Harris steeply declining in popularity. Biden’s favorability is now lower than the past 13 presidents. I cannot imagine any sane person supporting him after what he has done to the nation in the past three years. No one can honestly say they are better off under Biden.

This man received more votes than any other president in US history. Despite his rapidly declining poll numbers, he refuses to campaign. His handlers know that they do not need to campaign because the election results have already been decided. They want to keep him far from the public eye because he embarrasses himself at every speaking engagement.

White House physician Kevin O’Connor stated Biden was “fit for duty,” but he clearly is in a state of cognitive decline. A YouGov survey showed 67% of voters, 48% of who identified as Democrats, believe Biden is too old to run for a second term. His age is the least of his worries as there is clearly an underlying degenerative disorder. Biden slipped up and admitted he “sold a lot of state secrets.” Information has been pouring in about Biden’s illegal dealings with Ukraine and China. He campaigned on the Build Back Better platform and has run America into the ground to the point where it will be extremely difficult to ever build it back, let alone better.

It really all comes down to finances. Biden has been on a rampage of a spending spree since he took office. None of his policies eased inflation. Shelter, food, fuel, and all the basic necessities of survival are at unsustainable levels. People may have hated Trump all they wanted, but at least they could afford to fill their fridges and pay rent. Under any other circumstance, the POTUS would campaign as much as their schedule permitted to win over the people. He is not doing that because they know a false flag event will happen before the 2024 US Presidential Election to ensure one of the least capable presidents in history remains in power.

Biden: I Sold A Lot of State Secrets


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Jun 28, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

PRESIDENT BIDEN:  Okay.  We — I was just thanking the — anyway, I started off without you, and I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared.  (Laughter.)

The only time Joe Biden speaks the truth is when he goes off script. He has said it before that his people would be mad at him for speaking without direction. Biden is currently (not) under investigation for selling state secrets to Ukraine and China. We know without a shadow of a doubt that his son Hunter obtained lucrative business contracts overseas while traveling on Air Force Two. We’ve heard, “10% for the big guy,” with no investigation. Now, the POTUS is openly mocking us for being above the law.

“We’re — we’re going to see more technol- — technological change — you’ve heard me say this a number of times — in the next 10 years than we saw in the last 50 years — and maybe in the next few years — the last 50 years,” Biden eloquently said. “Sometimes it’s a little difficult to say too much in front of all the press present here,” Indian PM Modi responded, likely glad he has the BRICS pact to rely on after seeing Biden’s mental decline on full display. You can see Modi’s absolute shock when Biden ADMITS to selling state secrets. That was not a joke but a slip of the tongue.

Biden embarrassed the entire nation during his meeting with Modi in India. He saluted the Indian national anthem before slowly lowering his hand after his handlers told him that “The Star-Spangled Banner” was not playing. He refused to let go of Modi’s hand after walking down the podium, and his wife Jill was clearly flustered, not knowing where to stand. America looks weak because our leader is weak.

Biden has made a mockery of America and the due process of law. He implemented laws as a senator to punish men for crimes his own son committed without penalty. He has had his political opponents arrested in true dictator fashion. The intelligence agencies work for him, or at least for the deep state propping him up. And now, days after the WhatsApp message revealed Hunter used his father’s name for power, he “jokes” about selling state secrets. To quote Joe Biden himself, “This man cannot remain in power.”
