Biden Spent Over $1T on DEI to BUILD BACK BETTER

Joe Biden signed Executive Order 13985, “Advancing Equity and Racial Justice Through the Federal Government.” This order “emphasized the enormous human costs of systemic racism” and “other disparities” and became “the first-ever national strategy on gender equity and equality.” Talent and quality were dismissed. Gender, race, and sexual orientation became primary indicators of a candidate’s ability rather than actual talent. How far did Biden and Harris take this order?

The Functional Government Initiative and the Center for Renewing America found 460 DEI programs across 24 US government agencies under the Biden administration. An astounding $1.1 TRILLION in public funds was diverted to these programs. The study said that the $1.1 trillion was the tip of the iceberg as it did not include every program or agency.

“Of the programs identified, 10 are exclusively dedicated to DEI and could be considered for quick elimination; 144 allocate significant resources to DEI initiatives and should be reviewed if those are to be ended; and 306 programs incorporate DEI to varying degrees, though the extent of their DEI focus is indeterminate based on the available documentation,” the study noted.

Researchers were surprised at the “speed” of spending that “shrouded public awareness of the financial burden.” DEI programs were nothing short of radicalized measures that repeatedly failed wherever implemented, and Biden’s people ensured it was implemented absolutely everywhere.

WokeIdentityPolitics

DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) is one of the primary tools used to accelerate the Great Reset transformation. Under the guise of social justice, DEI programs have been weaponized to dismantle free-market principles, undermine meritocracy, and create a system where political and ideological compliance dictates economic survival.

The Department of Education spent around $1 billion on DEI programs. The extent of these programs was a direct assault on America’s children who were forced to question their own sexuality before even reaching puberty. The government became more powerful than parents. Schools did not need to report to parents if a child was performing as a different gender. States like California usurped the power to remove children from their home if their parents did not allow them to transform their gender. Brutal mutilations were performed on CHILDREN. Students were indoctrinated to believe this false reality throughout their education.

These programs attempted to dismantle the nuclear family. Women were not permitted to exist, with even a Supreme Court justice (who was hired because Biden said he wanted to appoint a woman of color) refusing to define the term. “Mother” was deemed an offensive term that was replaced with “birthing person.” Hundreds of genders emerged as the left sought to remove our God given identities. But DEI woke initiatives spread across every facet of the Biden Administration.

DEI.WhiteHouse

The Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was an obese transgender man in a wig. The military underwent DEI training seminars and we flew the rainbow flag alongside the American flag. Every single federal agency was required to adopt DEI. Biden touted that he had the most diverse cabinet in American history, but it certainly was not the best.

CEI.WokeRating

Again, the globalist elite uses DEI and the woke agenda to mold the world as they see fit. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) pushed the CEI (Corporate Equality Index), a company’s social woke credit score. The Open Society Foundation, operated by the Soros family, funds the HRC. The ESG promotes a company’s green social credit score, promoted by BlackRock and the World Economic Forum. ESG ratings have merely been a ploy to force companies to adhere to the Build Back Better agenda by adhering to climate goals. The CEI (Corporate Equality Index) was created by a massive international political lobbying group that pushes the woke agenda aggressively and is funded by Soros.

Why was this executive order signed on DAY ONE of Biden’s presidency? Tolerance and acceptance quickly turned into coercing people to accept an altered reality dictated by a woke government under the thumb of a globalist cabal. It was part of Biden’s mission to BUILD BACK BETTER by burning it all down first. The man spoke out against gay marriage as a senator—he never believed in any of the policies he forced the American public to implement and fund.

Canada & the 51st State

QUESTION: Hi Marty, Many in Canada seem to be taking President Donald Trump’s talk about making Canada the 51st US state seriously. We have Canadian leaders claiming it is a serious threat and part of a plan. “President Trump wants to put us into a state where we are much more weakened economically in order eventually to annex us,” was the comment from Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly.

This seems to be a distraction; as you say, they need war in Europe to distract from their economic decline. Trump has exposed what many of us Canadians did not know. First, the drug labs, and second, internally, as you said in your interview with Maxime Bernier, we have tariffs between provinces.

Can Trump annex Canada? That seems far-fetched.

RP

Part 51

ANSWER: Most people do not know, but Quebec wanted to separate and join the United States and even formed a Political Party called the 51st State. From an economic perspective, joining with the United States is clearly economically beneficial. I laid that out in the Canadian Report. This has been proposed back and forth since e the American Revolution. Provinces would not be allowed to put tariffs on each other. This is all very Marxist, protecting labor but at the price of lowering the standard of living. Others have pointed out that you have no right to vote for who leads your country under a Parliamentary system. Still, others have proposed ending that system and adopting the American system but remaining as Canada.

Look, from purely an economic and national defense perspective, such a merger makes sense. However, there is no way Trump could simply annex Canada. Moreover, I think the politicians there have too much to lose, and they will scream and yell to retain independence, no different than any such state or entity like NATO. If Trump was truly serious, then going public with that idea may have been a tactic to get the people against the politicians.

If there is a war between the US and Russia, the nukes would be coming over the top of the globe through Canada. That is why he wants Greenland because Tule has been the home of NORAD, which protects the top of the globe from a nuclear attack that would have to travel over Canada.

Canada has followed the Socialist agenda of imposing tariffs to protect jobs, which has dominated Europe and led to economic suppression in both countries. Perhaps the upside here is that Trump has exposed the internal tariffs and that policy in Canada that most Canadians were unaware of until this interesting banter.

DOGE Uncovers Another $3B Wasted on Climate Change

SolarPowerEnergy

Sunnova Energy, a solar panel company based in Texas, has filed for bankruptcy. It is not shocking for a solar panel company to go under as the demand is simply not there. Upfront costs could range into tens of thousands and it takes years to see actual savings. The Biden Administration spent more than any past administration on climate initiatives, so it is of no surprise that Biden’s Department of Energy awarded numerous loans to solar companies. Sunnova Energy in particular profited $3 billion from a partial loan in September 2023.

The company reportedly generated a mere $2 million in Q4 of 2024 when it had forecast a surplus of $104 million. Sunnova is $8.3 billion debt, with a 308.5% debt-to-equity ratio. Why would the government hand out $3 billion to a failing corporation?

The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund was slipped into the Inflation Reduction Act as yet another climate change measure. The Solar for All program chose 60 different solar companies and shelled out over $7 billion in an attempt to promote green energy. This absolutely does not benefit the American economy in any way but these initiatives have always been about centralizing control over energy consumption. Now DOGE is uncovering how many BILLIONS have been wasted on this net zero agenda. Was there any vetting process for which companies received payments?

Governments are imposing carbon taxes, banning gas stoves, and increasing restrictions on oil production. We are seeing taxes on transportation and other basic measures that affect daily life. These policies are not about helping consumers but about centralizing control over energy consumption. By forcing dependency on electricity—which can be easily rationed—governments are tightening their grip on every aspect of daily life.

The rest of the Western world is still moving forward with Agenda 2030. Germany is perhaps the greatest warning of how an economy can crumble when you cut off your own energy flow and impose incessant regulations while expecting to remain competitive. As for Biden’s energy spending spree, the American people deserve transparency. There are over 36 trillion reasons why that money should have been directed elsewhere.

Donald Tusk Prepares Poland for War

Tusk Donald

Prime Minister Donald Tusk is preparing a 500,000-troop army for Poland to protect against Russian aggression. “We will try to have a model ready by the end of the year so that every adult male in Poland is trained for war,” Tusk announced.

“Today, the situation of Poland, objectively and the situation of Ukraine above all, is more difficult than it was a few months ago and we have to deal with this fact,” Tusk mentioned. The current army has around 200,000 members to explain the full scope of Tusk’s plans, which would more than double the current military. The resources for this project are unfounded and a budget has not been presented. Poland already boasts the second-largest army in NATO behind the United States and Turkey. Turkey has an army of around 512,000 troops, so this move will put Poland on par.

“Every adult male” in the nation must undergo military training. Women, for now, are permitted to join on a voluntary basis but many EU nations are forcing women to undergo some form of training as well. Poland is one of the 11 EU nations that will place women in the frontline of fire.

Poland has already increased its NATO spending to 4.2% of GDP in 2024, and plans to up that amount to 4.7% ($48 billion) in 2025. Now the European Union initiated proceedings against Poland in July 2024 for its growing deficit. Poland has been the largest recipient of EU funds, but these funds come with increasing political conditions, particularly regarding judicial reforms, climate policies, and social policies like DEI mandates. Other members of both NATO and the EU refuse to up their defense budgets while encouraging Poland to spend more out of fear of proximity.

Poles are divided on the issue, with at least half stating they do not need to be involved in Ukraine’s conflict. A February 2025 survey by Ukrainska Pravda found a growing negative attitude toward Ukrainians over the past year, with 27% to 30% of respondents having a negative view of Ukraine compared to 23% to 25% last year. Younger Poles are less likely to have a favorable view of Ukraine, with only 16% stating they viewed Ukraine favorably. Reports state that older Poles are simply more empathetic, but they are not the ones who will be expected to die on behalf of Ukraine.

In November 2024, 55% of Poles said they supported ending the war even if Ukraine was forced to surrender territory. That same survey found only 24% in favor of such measures back in November 2022, before the war escalated to a full-scale proxy war. Opposition to continually providing Ukraine with military and humanitarian aid is continuing to rise.

Then there is the issue of refugees. While 53% support accepting Ukrainians into Poland, 67% believe Tusk must send back all military-aged men.

Poland is preparing for war. Leaders use the rhetoric of the past to claim that their nation could be invaded yet again and claimed by a foreign actor. The only actor who is stirring the pot is Zelensky, who, per instructions, has been encouraging his EU allies to fight Russia head-on. The majority of fighting-aged men in Poland DO NOT WANT WAR, nor do they deserve to die in these neocon war games.

Meloni Asks to Extend NATO Protections to Ukraine

Zelensky Meloni

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is ready for World War III. Meloni does not support Ukraine joining NATO, but she would like to offer Ukraine NATO’s collective security protections, including Article 5, which states that an attack on one is an attack on all.

Stationing European troops in Ukraine under the premise of keeping the peace is not an option, according to Meloni, as there is no peace to be kept amid the escalating war. “UN peacekeeping missions are a different matter, but this is a completely different topic, because such missions are deployed when the peace process has already begun. That is not what is currently being discussed, and I remain very skeptical about such proposals,” she noted. At least the deployed troops will know precisely why they are there, as peace is not the end goal.

“This is not the same as joining NATO, but it would provide Ukraine with the same security umbrella that NATO countries have. It would ensure stable, long-term, and real security guarantees – more than some of the proposals I see now. That is one of the ideas we are putting forward,” Meloni stated.

Ukraine would not need to pay into the alliance under this premise. They would receive “the same security umbrella” as members who have been paying into the alliance for many years. Nothing about this proposal benefits Europe, but it does benefit the neocons in NATO who would have total control over Ukraine’s military strategy under this plan of action.

This is a guaranteed way to begin the next World War regardless of how one deciphers Article 5. Article 5 is deliberately vague, but it does state that each member will assist “by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary.” Therefore, each member would decide how to implement Article 5 for the second time in NATO history.

911

We saw Article 5 enacted after 9/11, but that did not mean all NATO members were sending troops to the Middle East. Some NATO members sent their air forces to patrol US airspace. NATO naval forces were sent to the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, while other NATO nations sent troops to Afghanistan to fight alongside American soldiers. The alliance began sharing intelligence with one another in a more robust way and developed a Terrorist Threat Unit. The coalition pledged a mere $700 million in aid to America after the most significant attack on US soil.

WW3_fears_explode_as_Putin warns US within range nukes

If Ukraine were awarded this blanket security protection, Russia would not simply surrender and lose its land to NATO and the West. Russia is a nuclear power and Moscow is not against going to extremes to save its nation. Moscow has stated countless times that it feels it is fighting NATO rather than Ukraine, and it would even consider PEACE if NATO backed down and Ukraine returned some historically Russian territories. This plan would provide NATO with full control over Ukraine who would not have a say in any decision-making measures as it is not a member. Effectively, Meloni is suggesting that NATO take over this fight on behalf of Ukraine to achieve the ultimate long con goal of seizing Russia.

Do You Accept Zelensky as Your Saviour?

Based on information and belief, Zelensky will not agree to any ceasefire to end the war. Europe is gearing up very rapidly. They are on the verge of a major debt crisis and desperately need a distraction. We must be concerned about a false flag to influence the elections in Poland on May 18th. Our model of the Ukraine War against Russia turns back up on May 15th. They are not about to accept peace from the rumblings behind the curtain right now.

Gold the Confusion & Risk of a High

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, we all know you have sources beyond what everyone else has. My question concerns is there anything else that is moving the gold from Europe to the USA besides the prospect of war?

DS

ANSWER: Yes, what I have been warning about is the coming capital controls. You may see a high even here in March. Be very careful because of the upcoming elections in Poland. The first round of the presidential election will be held in Poland on 18 May 2025, and, if necessary, the second round will be held on 1 June 2025. The fear is that, like Romania, they are desperate to keep the power in play. They may start a false flag to influence that election. I’m not sure they can annul it like Romania.

It looks like capital controls will be in place for at least 2026. Without permission, you will not be able to move gold or cash out of Europe.

Then Trump may revalue gold from its official price of $42 to market value to improve the US balance sheet. This would also impact moving gold to the USA. From a market perspective, it really does not matter what value they place on gold. We will not likely see a return to a gold standard with a fixed value, which would be highly deflationary.

Markets Crash On Cue & Trump Refuses to Rule Out Recession

COMMENT: Marty, it looks like Trump is aware of the ECM. The markets crashed right on cue with Socrates, and he refused to rule out a recession. What is most curious is that you had a Panic Cycle for this week of the 10th. I heard you prevent Google from searching your private blog. If you are not advising him, they must be following Socrates.

Kirk

REPLY: The ECM turned May 7th. That was the day of the attempted assassination of Zelensky. Within weeks, the central banks started lowering rates. I believe Canada was the first to cut rates. Look, most subscribe to Socrates; they would be fools if they didn’t. Even those who hate my guts subscribe just as I subscribe to the Washington Post and the New York Times to see what propaganda they are pushing this week.

This is NOT my personal opinion. This is the only fully functioning Artificial Intelligence Computer with more than a 40-year track record. I cannot reveal who our clients are. We respect the client’s privacy. As I have said, Socrates calculates the timing by itself. There are not enough analysts in the world collectively to write and forecast as many markets and instruments as Socrates does every day. As one of the top ten institutional funds in the world commented, I never want to be on the opposite side of Socrates.

Recession Global

We are headed into a Global RECESSION no matter what Trump thinks or does. It will be a depression in some regions, primarily Europe. One country alone does not dictate the trend globally. Trump cannot create an economic boom when the rest of the world is imploding.

Tariffs a One-Time Price Adjustment?


Posted originally on Mar 10, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

tariffsstamp

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is wrongly advising this administration by downplaying the role tariffs will have on overall inflation. Bessent told reporters not to be concerned over tariffs as they will simply be a “one-time price adjustment” when that is far from reality. These tariffs come with massive side effects that will ripple across the global economy.

“Look, can tariffs be a one-time price adjustment? Yes… I would hope that the failed team transitory could get back together and think that nothing is more transitory than tariffs if it’s a one-time price adjustment,” Bessent said in reference to Biden administration officials saying that the historic inflation of several years ago was “transitory.” He later added, “The economic program is a whole of government, holistic program, and I think that we could get a one-time price adjustment,” Bessent said, adding that “across the continuum, I’m not worried about inflation.”

Bessent and others who buy into the tariff myths argue that when a tariff is imposed, prices simply adjust once, and the market stabilizes. Instead, the artificially raised cost snowballs. The first hit is the tax on direct goods, the second hit comes when that cost is passed down to businesses who pass it down to consumers.

Take steel tariffs, for example. When tariffs are imposed on imported steel, domestic manufacturers don’t just absorb the cost; rather, they pass it on to maintain a profit. That means everything that uses steel, from cars, appliances, construction materials, etc., becomes more expensive. That price increase does not stop at the initial tariff application. It continues to cascade as higher input costs force further adjustments throughout the supply chain.

When tariffs raise prices, workers naturally demand higher wages to keep up with the rising cost of living. This leads to what economists call a wage-price spiral—higher wages push costs up even further, which forces businesses to raise prices again.

Reduced supply and higher prices can lead to stagnation, which is what we have been experiencing for the past few years. These tariffs will do more harm than good for the people who will be forced to cover the costs.
