Has Biden Unknowingly Begun World War III in Financial Markets?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re- Posted Mar 2, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

We have a very serious problem. I know where the advice to Biden and other world leaders is coming from, as they are telling them to seize all the assets of Putin’s “friends” to put pressure on him — their yachts, bank accounts, houses… everything. It is Bill Browder who was Safra’s partner in Hermitage Capital Management. This is because Putin seized all of the assets of Hermitage Capital Management over the blackmailing of Yeltsin. Putin wanted to question Browder – not kill because he was Safra’s partner. Browder is telling world leaders now to confiscate all Russian assets belonging to who he claims are Oligarchs.

Let me make this very clear. This is a complete abandonment of international law and the absence of any Due Process of Law, which has been the cornerstone of law globally. Due Process is based upon the Bible where the story of Cain & Able. God knows what happened; Cain killed his brother. Nonetheless, he still allows him the right to be heard and explain his side of the issue. That is not only what we have denied in this Ukrainian affair, but now the West will simply seize all the assets of Russians in the West, who are denied any right to Due Process of Law if they are not in government.

What is the Repercussion of Such Acts?

We are not simply looking at World War III beginning in the financial markets with Russian cyberattacks against US banks. This is one SERIOUS warning to Chinese investors that they too can have all their assets seized in a dispute with China. Remember how anyone of Japanese heritage was imprisoned during World War II and denied all Due Process, based solely on their nationality? It took four decades before it was admitted this violated the foundation of human rights.

This is the most DANGEROUS advice in history. It can totally destroy the world economy as we know it. Foreign investment in Russia will be seized, and the prospect of this migrating to China is extremely high. This is crossing the line. You do not go after the assets of private individuals claiming they are holding personal money for Putin. This is now about the legacy of Putin, and he will NOT suddenly stop because his personal assets are confiscated. If anything, this amounts to an act of outright war. These actions will never achieve a reasonable resolution. This I believe is the personal vengeance of Browder because of the seizure of Hermitage Capital Management and the bankers’ failed attempt to take over Russia in 2000.

This will have major implications on all markets, and you should be looking at the arrays carefully. Something was not right, and the arrays were picking this up. It is perhaps why gold failed to elect two important Monthly Bullish Reversals at the end of February when it was trading above them during the month.

Pfizer Vaccine Only 12% Effective in Children 5 to 11


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Mar 2, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The government urged parents to expose their children to an experimental drug with unknown consequences to prevent a virus that has a statistically insignificant death rate for children (and adults). The New York State Department of Health announced that a new study found Pfizer’s vaccination was only 12% effective for children aged 5 to 11.

Pfizer was distributing the same dosage for undeveloped 12-year-olds as it was to fully grown adults at 30 micrograms. Children under 11 only received 10 micrograms of the mRNA vaccine. Pfizer and BioNTech was forced to push back their study on children under the age of 5 after they were forced to admit the vaccine has been ineffective.

The New York State Department of Health chose to release their allegedly new findings the same day that children were finally permitted to attend school without a mask. The fear here is that the powers that be could give us, and our children, a glimpse of freedom only to take it back. “Given rapid loss of protection against infections, these results highlight the continued importance of layered protections, including mask wearing, for children to prevent infection and transmission,” the public health officials wrote in the study.

The FDA is planning a clinical trial on a third booster shot for children. They will market this to the sheep by saying that the first two doses were ineffective, so their child’s life depends on yet another dose. Did you enjoy playing at recess without a mask? Good, now take another higher dosage of a protein-altering medication that is more likely to kill you than the virus itself. The World Health Organization has even admitted that healthy children do not need boosters.

Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna, the FDA, and anyone peddling these vaccines to children should face class-action lawsuits and serious penalties. This is domestic biowarfare that is targeting the most vulnerable among our population.

Kamala Went Full Buttigieg Again

Kamala and Pete have been in a contest to see who can use the most words without actually saying anything.  Previously, Pete set the record during his presidential bid of 2020. However, in 2021 Kamala got serious about the contest.  Harris fired her communications team and brought in new brand image consultants to help her finally achieve that first-place status which was so elusive.

Appearing on NBC’s “Today” show with Savannah Guthrie, the additional training paid off.   Kamala Harris was asked about the U.S. economic impact of sanctions on Russia and whether stopping purchases of Russian oil was possible.  This was the opening Harris had been looking for to highlight her sharpened linguistics.

Using the communication team notes for reference (watch her eyes), for almost a minute Kamala Harris assembled 247 various words in a random sequence. The result is remarkable. WATCH: (prompted):

Who is the Adviser? Death?

QUESTION: You think Putin should win? Why do you support Putin?

SB

ANSWER: Do you really think that Putin should be defeated? What planet are you on? If Putin is defeated in Ukraine, then the entire fate of Russia hangs in the balance. Do you honestly think he would let the collapse of Russia take place?  At that point, any animal will attack if its back is against the wall. If Ukraine were to win, the ONLY option for Putin will be to push the red button. Are you drinking the government’s Kool-Aid?

We better pray for a diplomatic solution and the world has to stop cheering Zelensky. He has tried to engulf the entire world.  He has been asking for jets from everyone. They are wisely standing aside for if any NATO country sends in troops or jets to Ukraine, it is an all-out war.

Be very careful who you are cheering for. This is not a soccer match or a video game. Zelensky gets billions from all the Russian gas that flows to Europe through Ukraine. He is fighting for revenue. He cut off all the water supply to Crimea while he has been shelling the Donbas. None of this is being reported by the mainstream press. Crimea sits on top of vast gas fields which he wants desperately to compete with Russia.

My fear is that Zelensky has not done the obvious solution to yield the Donbas. If Putin then continued then it is really to regain control of Ukraine because it is critical to Russian gas supplies to Europe. I do not know why Zelensky has thought he could defeat Russia alone. It just makes no sense. Now all of Ukraine is at risk. All we can do is hope for a diplomatic resolution.

Did Biden Mislead Zelensky?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Mar 1, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: You said that perhaps Biden misled Zelensky into thinking the US would support Ukraine. When do you think he did that?

DH

ANSWER: Back in November 2021 when they entered into an agreement. Biden has sent troops ONLY to those nations in NATO. They clearly realize Putin’s point that NATO has been constantly moving eastward. It is not just Ukraine. Putin warned that if Finland and Sweden entered NATO that too would have devastating effects. As long as the West portrays itself with the white hat and only Putin is unreasonable, this is the foundation of propaganda that is necessary to get the people to support a war against Russia.

My concern is that this is not going to simply be a war against Russia. You better include all the Chinese and Russian allies which include not just Iran and North Korea, but many other states including Serbia. I do not see why Ukraine fights to keep two Russian provinces when this is just a throwback to 19th-century imperialism because of borders. The American Revolution was fought over the same ideology.

Look, I wrote back in 2013 that “[t]he history of Ukraine is incredibly important in the entire Cycle of War” and that “Ukraine Maybe The Most Important Country To Watch.” I advised people on how to win their revolution in Ukraine in 2014. I have tried to defeat my own computer and have failed. This is not my personal opinion. You cannot forecast these things from a gut feeling.

Why has Zelensky refused to compromise? This makes no sense. Relinquish Donbas which wants to leave Ukraine and end the war. Then if Putin does not stop, we have a different situation. I hope Zelensky is not going this for other countries rather than his own people. You can scream that Putin is evil all you want. That will not stop the war, and then you must ask is this worth seeing your own family die on the battlefields of Ukraine? What is to gain other than bragging points for world leaders?
