QUESTION: Hi Martin,
You have mentioned over and over that J.P. Morgan had to bail out the US Government in the late 1890’s with gold, which was US money at that time. Can you explain to us how the US economy could be strong at that time when the US Government went broke collecting tariffs on imports?
Chaz
ANSWER: The economy was strong, it was the silver democrats who overvalued silver taking bribes from the silver miners. That led to the arbitrage silver was pouring into the USA and swapped for gold. The insolvency was not from domestic debt but from the overvaluation of silver, and gold was the international settlement – not silver.
Today, we are in a debt crisis. This is economically different. The Panic of 1896 was about foreign exchange and the Democrats trying to inflate the economy with silver as they are still trying today with endless spending and no accountability. This led to their attack on the gold standard and the 1893 march on Washington that became the Wizard of Oz. See:

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, Congratulations. Socrates was correct once again. Scholz’s unpopular Social Democrat government has the worst performance since World War II. Merz won, and Afd doubled its support, coming in second. If this was America, Merz’s less than 29% would have been a joke. Here, he will rule Germany and stupidly vow no coalition with AfD. He has not got the memo as you say that the people are shifting.
Thank you for Socrates. This is the only forecaster that is not biased.
Hans
REPLY: Yes, Friedrich Merz’s conservative opposition leader, what would not be even a headline in the United States. When you have so many parties fighting, you get very ineffective governments. That many Italians have told me keeps politicians arguing against each other and leaving the people alone. Indeed, as our computer projected, the Alternative for Germany nearly doubled its support, putting in the strongest showing for an alleged “far-right party” that had been against wholesale immigration since World War II.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz conceded defeat for his left-leaning Social Democrats. He said it was “a bitter election result.” Perhaps he should listen to the people rather than to Kaus Schwab. Marxism does not work. It has destroyed every economy it has ever been deployed because it is outright against human nature.
Merz vowed to move quickly to put together a coalition government but has vowed not to make a coalition with AfD all because the press has labeled them far-right, asking to be Nazis. Any coalition Merz created without AfD will only doom Germany to a continuation of the never-ending economic stagnation of Europe’s biggest economy thanks to Russian sanctions and the stupid net-zero climate change policies. Merz had pushed hard in recent weeks for a stricter approach, but with opposition to NATO against peace with Russia in order to remain relevant, will Merz fall in line with the EU war objectives?
Germany is the most populous country in the 27-nation European Union and a leading member of NATO. It has been Ukraine’s second-biggest weapons supplier after the U.S. Therein lies the problem. Scholtz promised Zelensky he would be his biggest supporter. Ukraine only takes. I never give up anything. The Ukraine government is the most corrupt government runs it in the world, and they are like a merchant who takes your money and declares all sales are final and have no returns.
Based on exit polls and partial counting, the projections put support for Merz’s Union bloc came in at around 28.5% and the anti-immigration AfD at about 20.5% — roughly double its result from 2021. Scholz’s Social Democrats collapsed to just over 16%, which was an all-time historic low even under the 20.5% from 2017. The Greens came in at an appalling just over 12%.
Merz made a huge mistake because of the press and dismissed the idea that voters wanted a coalition with AfD. “We have fundamentally different views, for example on foreign policy, on security policy, in many other areas, regarding Europe, the euro, NATO,” he said. Mertz has ignored the vote and he is just doing as directed by the EU and NATO. This does not speak well for Germany’s’s changing directions.
I do not see Mertz changing Germany’s economic direction. He must reject the EU and NATO and listen to the German people.

Zelensky offered to resign if Ukraine joined NATO, which he knew would start World War III. Sure, he will fly to Miami with his stolen billions and fund the Neo-Nazis of Ukraine to eradicate all Russians. You will never know the pure hatred of Russians in Ukraine. He ran on peace and did the opposite. The death toll in Ukraine has risen from 13,000 to over 1.1 million. This man many see as the anti-Christ whose purpose has been to create World War III.
I would cut off EVERY penny to Ukraine. If the people want to save their country, they better overthrow this dictator who dares to say the Ukrainian people do not want elections. I have not found a single Ukrainian to utter those words. We will never again have any representation in Ukraine, for under his laws, he can execute them for what I write on this blog.

I always had respect for the New York Post, but this cover has warned that this paper is no different from the rest of the fake news. First of all, they need to look in the dictionary what a dictator is – someone who is not elected. They might stumble upon the truth if they had any reliable source and stopped taking the fake news from Victoria Nuland’s sister-in-law running the Institute for the Study of War. Putin did stand for election, and he won overwhelmingly because the West spins nothing but hatred of Russia. I spoke to a Russian friend who we met in Tokyo 30 years ago, and she echoed the same question I get from Russians all the time:
Why does the West hate us so much?
Hillary instigated this relentless hatred of Russia with the lies that led to the RussiaGate affair that was concocted with John McCain, the grandfather of Neocons. I wrote the Plot To Seize Russia, and I was in the middle of that attempted regime change and was asked to put in $10 billion to fund it, and I would make $100 billion in return. I refused. That was why Hillary made up the Russia nonsense, claiming Putin interfered in the 2016 election in retaliation for the attempted regime change of 2000, which is why Yeltsin turned to Putin in the first place. But hey, as Churchill said, the truth needs a bodyguard of lies to protect it, and that is what has been taking place.
Zelensky fired the head of the military because he dared to question what Zelensky was doing. The military objected to invading Russia, but Zelensky was taking his orders from the Neocons in the hope that it would provoke Putin to attack NATO. My sources said that the troops were order to go to the border and had no idea that would invade Russia.
I suggest that Trump should reactivate the draft. Every one of these journalists who pump out this nonsense that Zelensky walks on water should be sent to Ukraine to replace his British and American bodyguard because after the last attempted assassination in May of 2024, he fired the head of his bodyguard and he does not trust Ukrainians for just as some Germans wanted to kill Hitler; the same is taking place in Ukraine.
Zelensky ran on peace – not war. The Ukrainian death toll when he came to office was 13,000. It is now exceeding 1.1 million, and both of the Ukrainians who worked for me have fled to Berlin and vow never to return. Over 8 million Ukrainians have fled their country while Zelensky cuts deals selling farmland to Blackrock.
Zelensky knew when Russia would cross the border. To make sure that would take place, the day before, he said Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons. That was the final straw, and Putin mentioned that in his speech to the nation. This was the Cuba Missile Crisis in reverse.
They knew Russia was on the border. The Neocons handed Kamala the cue card, and she stated Ukraine Should Join NATO as Zelensky stood up and said Ukraine will Rearm with Nuclear weapons.
The Washington Post found that Zelensky knew when Russia would cross the border and did not inform his people. Why? He told the Post it would have cost him $7 billion. This was one of my sources in Ukraine. Zelensky, who the US press loves, made it illegal under Ukrainian law to criticize him for daring to say that he and the West were doing everything to start this war.
Zelensky had Gonzalo Lira arrested, and I believe he was murdered just like Epstein because nobody will ever allow someone to have a trial that will expose the truth about what is taking place in government. When Zelensky was told to have an election, he said the Ukrainian people did not want an election. That, New York Post, is a dictator! Wake the hell up. You just lost my subscription. You are no different than the rest of the fake news.
Zelensky has even publicly stated that 50% of the money allocated for Ukraine is missing.
The New York Post ignores the fraud of the West in negotiating the Minsk agreement openly stating it was to buy time for Ukraine to build its army demonstrated that the West is the aggressor and has wanted this war from the outset driven by the Neocon’s endless quest for regime change to rule the world themselves. Moldavia and Romania will no longer even exist post-2032. This is a disastrous forecast coming from our computer. Those readers in that region should consider alternatives to migrate while they still have time.
Zelensky has been pushing for NATO troops and Americans to start World War III.
DO YOUR RESEARCH – just for once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have the Neocons bribed the NY Post Journalists to Push for World War III?

COMMENT: I remember you saying that Pope Francis would not be the last pope and that he would not last until 2032. Well, your critique of St. Malachy’ will be correct. Francis is not the last pope and he is in critical condition right now at 89 years old.
Mathew
REPLY: St. Malachy’s prophecy is interesting, but many consider it a hoax. I found it curious that his last 112th Pope in his prophecy concludes with “Peter the Roman,“ whose pontificate will allegedly precede the destruction of the city of Rome since Peter is considered the first Pope. The founder of Rome was Romulus, and the first emperor was Augustus. The last emperor of Western Rome has the name Romulus Augustus (475-476AD). Cyclically, Rome ended with the emperor, who had the first name. If St. Malachy’s prophecy is correct, the next pope would take Peter. Then, with Europe pushing for World War III to strip mine Russia’s $75 trillion in assets, perhaps if the next pope become Peter, this would be very interesting. That would call into question the theory that it was a hoax. If we take from 1148, Pope Francis is only #99 – not 111. We will have to wait and see. But this prophecy does not seem to add up with history.

The German elections are tomorrow, and the polls are touting the failed government of Schultz as the winner. Germany will hold a snap national election on Sunday, February 23, after the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-way coalition. Currently, the CDU/CSU leads in our polling according to the LEFT-controlled German Press with an aggregate of 9 points over the AfD. They always pretend that the LEFT is somehow centered and that whatever we earn really belongs to the state, and they decide how much we are allowed to retain. The Swiss numbered accounts really took place because Hitler made it illegal to have an account outside the country. Capital had fled because the SPD government confiscated 10% of everyone’s bank accounts and handed them a bond in December 1922, which led to hyperinflation. People got whatever wealth they had out of Germany after that trick.
After Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference, the press, which had labeled the AfD the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), gained 3.7 points. The SPD, the current leaders in the national parliament since the average person votes for labels only, has lost 12.3 points since the last federal election and is currently in third place. Germany has no centrist parties other than the AfD, which has stood against migration and war. Scholz’s pretend center-left Social Democrats (SPD) and the opposition conservatives, an alliance of the Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU).
Covid had a significant impact in Germany. Even our staff there fled the country and moved to our Dubai office over mandatory vaccines for children. The AfD first entered Germany’s national parliament eight years ago on the back of discontent with the arrival of large numbers of migrants thanks to Merkel flooding Europe with no public vote nor any EU-wide concensus. It was all about her image, and she undermined Europe as a whole. So now the press calls anyone against migration the far-right. European politicians live in denial. BREXIT took place because the British did not want this flood of immigrants who had no intention of blending into European culture but demanded their own culture dominate. Parts in Sweden saw them declaring Shia Law prevailed – not European. But disagree with the leftists who REFUSE to acknowledge any mistake, and you are a far-right Nazi.
The Afd party has proven that this discontent over the mass flood of non-Christian immigrants, where some have even burned churches, has tapped into common sense. The LEFT press has covered up the rape of girls in Europe by the migrants. As in the USA, the press saw no problem with transgender men competing in women’s sports, setting all the records. Germany’s move away from fossil fuels, restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and support for Ukraine’s orchestrated war against Russia and the prospects of World War III are somehow all far-right. The status quo in politics will be the downfall and destruction of Europe. The Greens have supported war against Russia to end their fossil fuel production. Even the World Socialist website has stated that the “Greens are among the most aggressive warmongers. ” So, risk nuclear war to save the planet? The failure of the AfD to win a majority will doom Germany to World War III.
Also running are the pro-market Free Democrats (FDP), the far-left Linke, and the leftist Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), who are all at risk of missing the 5% threshold to make it into parliament, according to opinion polls. Yet the real problem is the audacity of the EU to overturn the Romanian election and say they might do the same if the AfD wins. Europe is turning not just against free speech but very authoritarian, and it is the LEFT that has become the war party.
Our model has already elected two Yearly sell signals on the German Bunds. The current government is not just pro-war; it is undermining its own economy. The German election has shrunk by 3% thanks to the Green policy and the sanctions it imposed on Russia, undermining its industrial complex and resulting in rising unemployment and protests in the auto industry. Since COVID, the economic growth of the German economy has been steadily declining.

Martin Armstrong returns for an interview on the foreign and domestic policies currently rolled out in the U.S. and on their implications for the international order. The Trump presidency is only a month old, but it hit the ground running – so fast, in fact, that no one seems to be able to keep up. But can they technically balance the budget of the next fiscal year? Does Armstrong expect even the federal reserve system to get audited, and what does he foresee coming out of such audit?
The Trump administration tries to use tariffs to get production back into the US, but how feasible is an outcome in which the US trade deficit is changed to a surplus by the use of tariffs?
We talk the economical situation in the EU, the upcoming German elections, NATO, BRICS, and Europe’s ongoing push for war with Russia in contrast to the recent U.S. Russia peace-initiatives.

Martin,
I polls just like in the US are never correct. There’s no doubt that many Canadians suffer from Trump derangement, my guess is most Canadians still view the US in a favorable light.
As you are aware Canada really doesn’t produce very much any longer, we’ve become a very unfriendly Country to do business in. With the pending changes to the Capital Gains tax, it will completely kill small businesses.
I really believe what we are witnessing is a well executed plan to continue to decide the people and the media is the main propaganda tool.
The same people who control the media are the same people who are part of the evil and corrupt system?
SYSTEM OF CONTROL.
Crimes against Humanity.
You are not meant to think for yourself.
You are not meant to challenge their power [control].
Obey and accept.
Illusion of Democracy.
Illusion of Freedom.
Why does the media push division?
Why does the media incite violence?
Why does the media pit race v race?
Why does the media pit religion v religion?
Why does the media pit sex v sex?
Why does the media pit class v class?
Divided you are weak.
Divided you fight each other.
Divided you pose no threat to their system of control.
UNITY IS STRENGTH.
UNITY IS POWER.
UNITY IS HUMANITY.
Controlled media plays a major role in shaping the narrative(s) to keep you mpowerless [helpless] and asleep [unaware of truth].
