Mr. Speaker!…


Posted originally on the CTH on July 27, 2023 | Sundance 

I tap my glass loudly with a spoon from the back of the room….

The House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee has a team of lawyers and staff.

Evidence in public shows the sitting president of the United States took payments from foreign business interests in a scheme to use the power of the U.S. government to influence foreign government policy and protect/enhance the business interests of the people who paid him.

To wit…. The Republicans in the House of Representatives have thousands of Joe and Hunter Biden bank records, hundreds of trace records for wire transfer statements and payments, hundreds of reported U.S. Treasury suspicious activity reports, thousands of emails and subpoenaed text messages, audio and video recordings, thousands of photographs, access to the laptop of Hunter Biden and all the content therein, documented witnesses to the activity, testimony under oath corroborating how the Bidens collected tens of millions from foreign nations as unregistered foreign agents which was subsequently laundered through 20 shell companies.

The House committee also has FBI witness reports (FD-1023) from verified and reliable Confidential Human Sources who documented the intent and purpose of the transactions, along with US government attorneys in Philadelphia who investigated and confirmed the substance of the confidential human source allegations therein. Additionally, the Republicans in Congress have sworn affidavits and testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who testified the US attorney in Delaware was working with the U.S. Dept of Justice in Washington DC to bury the results of the investigation.

Lastly, and most recently, the Republicans have a transparently corrupt federal plea agreement rejected as presented by U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, because the intent of the construct was to protect the son of the President of the United States from legal exposure within the business that provided the material wealth for himself and the family of the President, providing immunity for their Foreign Agent Registration Act violations…

….And the Republican Speaker of the House is letting the Republican controlled Congress go on vacation for the next two months.

All of this,…. ALL OF THIS…. while the former Republican president and current 2024 election front-runner is being railroaded by the same Dept of Justice the Speaker refuses to confront.

The CBDCs Are Coming


Armstrong Economics Blog/Cryptocurrency

Posted Jul 23, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT #1: Hi Marty
I forgot to mention the ATMS nearby where I live right now.. I use a Credit Union and their withdrawal limit at the ATM at the branch no less has always been $400 these past couple of years. So I would go to the Wells Fargo ATM nearby down the road where I could withdraw $1000 in cash. The machine would ask you if you wanted a mix of 50s and 20s or all 20s.
Well, this past week I went to the WF ATM where I have not gone for quite some time, many months. To my surprise, the withdrawal limit has been reduced from $1000 to $600.
So there you go they are slowly turning the screws to try to cage us all in.
Best
Alice

REPLY: I opened an account at one of the top 5 just for convenience since it was down the street from me. Since COVID, I noticed they closed that branch and many others.  If you move to CBDCs, then banks no longer need branches for you can deposit a check on your phone, and they want to eliminate safe deposit boxes because they think people hide cash there.

Noble Scientist says Climate Change is a Hoax


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Jul 15, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Dr. John Clauser, the co-winner of the 2022 Nobel Physics prize has come out and said the whole nonsense of Climate Change caused exclusively by CO2 is an absolute HOAX. Anyone who has ever studied physics cannot possibly conclude otherwise. There is absolutely NOTHING that can ever be reduced to a single cause and effect in anything. It is always a complex dynamic.

Here is Bill Gates who I would not trust to walk my dog admitting that blaming CO2 is not without dispute. There is just nothing, even in market movements, that can be reduced to a single cause and effect – PERIOD! Perhaps he should have paid attention in physics class, assuming he took it.

One of our clients was one of the top 5 Australian mining companies. Their CFO lost more than $50 million in the currency. They ordered him to meet with me. He knew my track record and said perhaps it was just a coincidence. Finally, I asked him what his background was. He hesitated and said physics. I said GREAT! Now look at the market through the Second Law of Thermodynamics. His jaw dropped and said – OMG, there has to be a cycle. I said you got it.

Heat always moves from hotter objects to colder objects (or “downhill”), unless energy in some form is supplied to reverse the direction of heat flow. 

The second law of thermodynamics establishes the concept of entropy as a physical property of a thermodynamic system.

Human activity cannot possibly create a one-way street that is the typical linear analysis that if the temperature rises by 1 degree per year, then in 50 years we will be all dead. That is like saying since the stock market rose 1,000 points this year, it continue to do so for the next 50 years. It is just an absurdity and thereby it is a HOAX for nobody in their right mind would ever make such an honest forecast of this nature. According to all this nonsense, we should have been dead by now.

Greta Thunberg deleted a 2018 tweet about the urgency of addressing climate change. Her tweet included a quote from an article that said an influential scientist warned climate change “will wipe out all humanity” unless fossil fuel use was ended “over the next five years.” Some have said that Great misquoted him since he claimed he never made such comments. Anyway, we are still alive – thank you linear analysis.

Tucker Carlson Leaves Nikki Haley Speechless on Subject of Nordstream Pipeline


Posted originally on the CTH July 14, 2023 | Sundance 

There is one commonality amid all those who are skilled at the art of deception; one thing they all require in order to advance their position against their targets.  Every deceiver relies upon their ability to stop people from trusting their instincts.  This is why you will see me reminding everyone, repeatedly, to remain centered in your faith of a loving God, and TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.

In this short soundbite with Nikki Haley, Tucker Carlson asks the former U.N. Ambassador, “who blew up the Nordstream pipeline?”  Ambassador Haley is completely frozen and caught off guard.  Does she retain the neocon position, or does she tell the truth – she’s stuck.  WATCH: 

Beyond that response, think about something carefully.  In a field of multiple candidates where the issue of U.S policy toward Ukraine is being discussed as part of the format questioning, if there was one person in the entire group you would ensure received that question it would be the former UN ambassador.  However, for some seemingly incurious reason, Nikki Haley never received that question from Tucker Carlson.

Take from that reality what you will.  However, the reality of that question not being asked is real.  The full remarks from Nikki Haley are below.

Recipe For Perfect Pancakes


Posted originally on the CTH on July 11, 2023 

Making good pancakes is one of the easiest processes; however, you need just the right ingredients.  Consider this recipe next time:

2 large eggs

1 1/4 cups whole milk

4 tablespoons melted butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 3/4 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar

It stinks that the better option is to communicate like this; alas, sometimes it is necessary simply to avoid the Eye of Sauron – Google. Which is really the reason for writing this.

Our tech overlords really do not like CTH for several reasons, and they put blocks in the internet path in order to make things more difficult.

The two primary reasons they dislike us are:

First, we make all CTH content available free for duplication anywhere anyone wants, along with free reign to change, enhance or make it unique.  The lack of a primary source attribution makes it harder for the tech control systems to control the information flow, which is part of the reason we do it.

Second, we do not need Google, or any other search engine assist in order to share information.  More than 95% of all CTH visits are direct from user bookmarks to the site. This is very rare and a big annoyance for those who control the internet search engine results as a way to tamp down information.

That said, there has been a rather interesting recent development in the world of Google censorship.

With Google AI now doing most of the targeting for internet content control, the Google inputs into the automated sweep/radar now creates the flagged content for Google action.  You could always identify what Google was concerned about by looking at the content they flag for removal under their compliance system.

Google has never, not a single time, ever, set up sweep and search parameters to protect Republicans.   Content against Obama and various Democrats was always the source material they wanted to see removed.   However, for the first time ever, Google is now concerned about criticism and research related to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.  In fact, Google sweeps are now demanding the removal of content that is critical of Ron DeSantis and the RNC.

In the spreadsheet below you can see 21 CTH articles that have been flagged by Google for their extremist nature.

Research, opinion and analysis of Ron DeSantis is now labeled “dangerous”, “harmful”, and/or “derogatory” by Google.

This should not necessarily come as a surprise, because Ron DeSantis is a candidate supported by all the billionaires and major multinational corporations in the U.S 2024 election.

In addition to being ideologically skewed to the far-left, the Alphabet Google corporation is owned mostly by BlackrockVanguard and Larry Page; then come the smaller institutional investment groups.   The multinationals who control Google, also control most of the donor wealth behind Ron DeSantis.

You won’t find anyone on the DeSantis team that admits this fact, but our experience with the Google content police shows they are targeting and demanding the removal of content against the interests of Ron DeSantis.  Google supports DeSantis.

If you thought the Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush support for DeSantis was revealing, how much more revealing is it to realize Google is supporting DeSantis?  What does that tell you?

The Google blackmail goes like this….. Remove the content above, or we will pull all Google Advertising from your website.  Obviously, on our shoestring budget that sucks, but whatever… the larger point is to note how Google is concerned about “harmful claims” against Ron DeSantis.

That is quite a remarkable shift.

Remember, there are trillions at stake, ‘trillions’.  With the geopolitical dynamic being threatened and with trillions of dollars at stake, nothing is ever off the table.

When you think the people who control the world of finance and politics couldn’t possibly be organizing, coordinating and manipulating certain events, again, reevaluate your reference, because they do.

It’s a large network of aligned interests.  It does not take a lot of organization and/or the creation of some massive global conspiracy, to create outcomes of mutual benefit to all parties – when the interests of those parties are aligned inside the economics of the issue.  Instead, the process used has two components:

(1) – Identify the common enemy. Thereby everyone can act according to their institutional interests to undermine and attack that enemy.

(2) – Identify the common solution. Thereby, everyone can align to support the common objective according to their institutional capability.

Eyes of a mouse/Ears of an elephant…. and don’t forget to live your best life! 

Open Borders, Chaos & Violence


Armstrong Economics Blog/Police State Re-Posted Jul 11, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

I have traded head-to-head with Soros. Many believe that he was also behind getting me imprisoned after his attempt to trade against the Japanese yen in 1999. I defeated and warned all my clients at our March 1999 Tokyo conference how to defeat Soros and the other bankers who were trying to exploit the Japanese for their fiscal year-end on March 31st that year. I was the one who called in when he was targeting the British pound and confirmed that the pound was overvalued and it would crack which made him all his money.

While I cost Soros perhaps $1 billion in Japan, it was the Russian trade I refused to join when asked to invest $10 billion into Hermitage Capital Management. I warned them that Russia would collapse. I warned my clients at our June 1998 conference in London when the London Financial Times published that forecast on the front page of the second section. Soros lost $2 billion on that one. For years, all I have heard is how Soros and the other bankers & hedge fund guys wanted my company shut down.

When you are in the Financial Industry, your phones are recorded to make certain if you said buy, it would not a sell. I had everything on tape and it would have been enough to send a lot of people to prison for a long time and end this crisis that we are now facing where they are using the money to destroy Western Civilization. The government then claimed it was all destroyed in World Trade Center building 7 that every expert says was a controlled demolition. They claimed all my evidence was destroyed in WTC7.

Did they take down that building to save all the firms on Wall Street that were engaged in market manipulation and targeting other countries’ currencies? There were tapes even bragging about paying bribes to Russian officials to recall all the platinum for inventory. Surely, had the truth surfaced, it would have been a serious international crisis, and we would not be in the position we are today with open borders everywhere.

Soros is famous for saying: The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States. If that is not enough for Congress to summon him to uncover this cabal, then how about: The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat.

George Soros is perhaps one of the three greatest destroyers of Western Civilization with Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates. Soros has long pointed to academic philosophy as his source of inspiration rather than just personal philosophy. George Soros’s philosophy is organized around the idea of the “Open Society,” a term developed and popularized by Karl Popper (1902-1994), a political philosopher of some influence. Effectively, it stands for a one-world government.

Popper was an academic with no actual real-world investigation like Adam Smith – just theory. He was a self-professed critical rationalist, a dedicated opponent of clearly all forms of skepticism, conventionalism, and relativism. He was a committed advocate and staunch defender of the “Open Society”. According to Popper, open societies guarantee and protect rational exchange, while closed societies force people to submit to authority, whether that authority is religious, political, or economic.

Since 1987, George Soros has published 14 books. He has made it very clear that he leans left and his defining intellectual principle is internationalism. Soros’ political goal is to create a political world not defined by national states, but by a global community whose constituents understand that everyone shares an interest in freedom, equality, and prosperity. In his opinion, the creation of such a global open society is the only way to ensure that humanity overcomes the existential challenges of climate change and nuclear proliferation.

I have zero respect for Soros or his son. The EU was formed on this same theory that a one-world government will eliminate war. These people are totally ignorant of the fact that the Roman Empire represented one government, but the myth of the Pax Romana was precisely that because that ONLY applied to international war. There was a civil war when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 BC. Then there was another civil war between Octavian v Mark Antony & Cleopatra in 31BC 18 years later. The next civil war came with the death of Nero in 68AD, 99 years later. The next Civil War came with the assassination of Commodus in 192AD 124 years later. Then with the death of Caracalla in 217AD, the next Civil War unfolded 25 years later. This was followed by Civil Wars in 235, 244, 249, and 253.

Then the Roman Empire split into three parts in 260AD. This eventually led to reforms of Diocletian and the creation of the Tetrarchy in 284AD. That eventually broke down into another Civil War where Constantine seizes control claiming if there is one God, then there should be one emperor by 305AD – another 21 years later. Thus, during a period of 354 years, there were 11 major Civil Wars. So much for this theory of an “open society” creating this sick dream of a one-world government.

There are major cultural differences that cannot be forced into one. Even in the United States, there are four regional cultures. The Midwest is known as the Bible Belt. They clash with California and New York. In France, there is clearly an undertone of cultural discord. Some call this racism, but it is not about the color of someone’s skin, it is always about culture. Soros’ Open Society is the destroyer of Western Civilization. The West will fall and the new financial center of the world will be China. Our Neocons and their hatred for all Russians is an example of how this nonsense of an Open Society is a complete joke.

The Neocons opposed NATO’s invitation to Russia to join. They wanted to rule Russia and completely destroy the country politically. You cannot impose your culture upon another society.

Ukraine has effectively outlawed the Russian language even in the Donbas where ethnic Russians are not allowed to use their own language. Can you imagine what would happen if the USA banned the Spanish language or Canada outlawed French? The Ukrainian provision took effect on January 16, 2023, as stipulated in Article 25 of the law. It requires print media outlets registered in Ukraine to publish exclusively in Ukrainian. Publications in other languages must also be accompanied by a Ukrainian version, equivalent in content, volume, and method of printing.

The state language law requires that Ukrainian be used in most aspects of public life. The law was adopted and signed by former President Petro Poroshenko in 2019, as he was leaving office, with several provisions scheduled to come into force in subsequent years.

The entire Ukrainian War is a land grab, seize the Donbas and Crimea, outlaw Russian, and force their culture upon the indigenous population there and they have gone as far as to even outlaw the Russian orthodox church. They must change their religion to the Ukrainian version of Christianity.

This entire cabal that thinks they can force everyone into a single culture under a one-world government is threatening everything that humanity was all about. We are surrendering our cultures, our freedoms, and all of our dreams to people who think they can reshape the world as they think it should be. Soros said:

If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood which I felt I had to control, otherwise I might end up in the loony bin. But when I made my way in the world I wanted to indulge myself in my fantasies to the extent that I could afford.

Sound of Freedom Blacklisted by Woke Elite


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Jul 11, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The movie “Sound of Freedom” exposes the darkest corner of our society – child trafficking. The film should not be controversial but the mainstream media and Hollywood blacklisted the film because they are protecting those involved. Simply Google the film and you will see articles from EVERY news outlet condemning the film as a QAnon conspiracy for right-wing extremists.

Jim Caviezel, the director, is a devout Christian which is now a radical ideology in America. You may not believe in God but watching this film will show you that pure evil exists. He has said that streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu would not carry his film, which is precisely what occurred with “The Forecaster.” For you see, there are numerous organizations that would taken down if the truth came out. This is a trade that surpasses most other industries and cannot be calculated. The Department of Homeland Security estimates that child trafficking account for $150 billion in global trade, but the true amount is much higher. Millions of children go missing every single year. It is not isolated to third world countries. What happened to the children who went unaccounted for at our own border?

It is extremely alarming that the powers that be want to silence this film. Epstein island was a conspiracy theory too at one time. The politicians and people of influence who went to his island were never held accountable, but that shows only a tiny fraction of how deep this insanity goes. Governments are involved. The woke elite are dominating all institutions and forcing organizations to abide by their CEI and ESG scores. Kids are being taken away from their parents if they don’t provide “gender affirming care,” which never existed up until a few years ago when the far left lost its collective mind. They are NORMALIZING the sexualization of children even in schools. The Guardian called the film “the QAnon-adjacent thriller seducing America” as did every other major news outlet. I question any journalist who is angered by a film that shines a light on such an important topic. The corruption goes deep, and the elite have an agenda. It is not fear-mongering because, yes they are coming for our children.

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.
