Is Zelensky Negotiating Peace in Bad Faith?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Russia Re-Posted Mar 30, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

There is serious concern that Zelensky is not negotiating in good faith and he is doing precisely the opposite of what he claimed he would do if elected. Why does Zelensky refuse to concede the Russian areas when in fact the border of Ukraine was drawn by the Soviet Union for administrative purposes. This is why the Donbas and Crimea were merely allocated to Ukraine and were never historically occupied by the Ukrainian people. Why put his entire country at risk and tell his citizens to kill Russian troops for what? This is as if Mexico demands the return of Texas because it use to be theirs despite the fact it is occupied by Americans.

There is serious concern that Zelensky is truly being told what to do by the Neocons like Hillary who cannot sleep at night as long as Russia and China exist. Nobody in the press will dare to reveal that it was Hillary who approved the bankers in trying to take over Russia by blackmailing Yeltsin. That is why Yeltsin turned to Putin in 1999, to begin with.

This is WHY Hillary created the fake Steel Dossier and had the Democrats launch the attack on Trump portraying him as a puppet of Putin. It was Trump who pushed for energy independence which was the opposite of what the Democrats are doing pleading with everyone else to increase production so Biden can live up to his promise of ending fossil fuels with regard to American production.

The Ukrainian proposal to negotiate the status of the Crimean Peninsula over the next 15 years reflects Zelensky’s refusal to negotiate in good faith. The concern is that this may yet be used to claim that Russia will not seek peace and the talks break down by the week of April 14th. “Crimea is part of the Russian Federation,” Peskove responded to the Zelensky proposition. “According to our constitution, we cannot discuss with anyone the fates of Russian territories, the fates of Russian regions. That is out of the question.”

There remains a deep concern that Zelenskyy is only trying to stall and to make it appear that peace with Russia is impossible so NATO better come in. Zelensky is an actor so he is a professional liar and is playing a role. This guy seems hell-bent on creating World War III at the instigation of Neocons – which include both Democrats and Republicans. Hillary is out in force advocating war, based on information and belief. Some think this is just reverence for Putin interfering in the 2016 election which seems to be yet another piece of propaganda. The regime change needed here is in Ukraine and in the White House to save the world.

World Government Summit Introduces the New Financial World Order – The Intent of the Digital ID That Follows the Vaccination Passport


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 31, 2022 

The World Government Summit 2022 took place on March 29 and 30 in Dubai, hosting more than 4,000 individuals from 190 countries including senior government officials, heads of international organizations, and global “experts.”   The invited participants presented ideas and worldviews from within their various fields of specialty.

One presentation that needs to be highlighted was from Dr. Pippa Malmgren, an American economist who served as special advisor on Economic Policy to President George W. Bush.

Her father, Harald Malmgren, served as a senior aide to US Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford.   In this segment, Mrs. Malmgren says the quiet part out loud.  Yes, they are no longer hiding the construct; indeed, as you will hear they are saying quite openly what the future will look like.  WATCH (2 minutes):

[Full Source – 6 hours (internal segment at 18:30)]

Transcript – Dr. Malmgren: “What underpins a world order is always the financial system. I was very privileged. My father was an adviser to Nixon when they came off the gold standard in 71. And so, I was brought up with a kind of inside view of how very important the financial structure is to absolutely everything else.

And what we’re seeing in the world today, I think, is we are on the brink of a dramatic change where we are about to, and I’ll say this boldly, we’re about to abandon the traditional system of money and accounting and introduce a new one. And the new one. The new accounting is what we call blockchain.

It means digital, it means having a almost perfect record of every single transaction that happens in the economy, which will give us far greater clarity over what’s going on. It also raises huge dangers in terms of the balance of power between states and citizens.

In my opinion, we’re going to need a digital constitution of human rights if we’re going to have digital money. But also this new money will be sovereign in nature. Most people think that digital money is crypto, and private. But what I see our superpowers introducing digital currency, the Chinese were the first the US is on the brink, I think of moving in the same direction the Europeans have committed to that as well.

And the question is, will that new system of digital money and digital accounting accommodate the competing needs of the citizens of all these locations, so that every human being has a chance to have a better life? Because that’s the only measure of whether a world order really serves!”

The entry into a digital currency, needs a digital identity.

The end goal of a digital currency is why western political leaders have not been worried about following the COVID-19 spending demands from the World Economic Forum. {Go Deep}

When the global trade currency does not need to be pegged to anything to determine value, it is completely fiat.  This is the current problem with global trade and transactions taking place in U.S. dollars, which arbitrarily lifts the standard of life for Americans while providing no similar benefit to other nations. That view became the underlying motive for Osama Bin Laden to target the World Trade Center, twin towers.  That view was/is also the perspective carried by Barack Obama, that lay behind his “fundamental change” statement.

A digital currency allows ultimate control on a global basis by a one world government, or western system of collective governments, that can assign value.  No other mechanism will have as much control over the life of a person than a digital currency that will create a system of transactional credits and debits, perhaps also influenced by your social credit score.

The digital currency requires a digital identity in order for apportionment based on your value to society.  This is essentially an extension of the Fabian mindset into the world of financial transactions and monetary evaluations.  Fabians believed that some form of socioeconomic tribunal would be needed in order for each citizen to be quantified according to their “worth” to society.  The Chinese social credit score is a variant of that same concept.

The phrase “you didn’t build that,” when espoused by former President Obama and current Senator Elizabeth Warren is also based on this collective worldview. Both believe that individuals do not succeed independently, but rather gain their ability to grow wealth by using the resources of the larger society, infrastructure, labor and education.  The phrase “it takes a village” to raise a child, as espoused by Hillary Clinton is another variant of the same collective advocacy.

A digital currency and digital identity is not a conspiracy theory, these “global leaders” are explaining it to us out loud.  However, I am concerned that most will not hear it, or understand it, until it is too late.

People criticize CTH saying ‘stop revealing the evidence of problems and start talking about the solutions‘.  What critics do not realize is we are not trying to win a battle, we are trying to win a war.  Every person who accepts the reality of the problem, becomes the solution.  CTH will not stop revealing, digging, researching and revealing the truth as it can be found.   Again, I am not Paul Revere.  I am the guy who hangs the lantern.  YOU are Paul Revere.

An Australian Senator from South Australia named Alex Antic {Facebook Link} delivered a speech in Parliament that deserves widespread attention.  This is three minutes of unrelenting truth bombs. Each sentence represents a detonation in the heart of globalism.  WATCH:

Ukraine & Russia Peace Talks – Will Sanctions Be Lifted?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Turkey Posted Mar 29, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

While the news is spinning this as Russia is losing for they are now negotiating, there is a lot more going on behind the curtain than people suspect – this will be a true TEST of international law. Indeed, Russia has promised to drastically scale down its military operations around Kyiv and the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv given Ukraine’s proposed neutral status with international guarantees. This will turn on the guarantee that Ukraine will not only remain out of NATO but will also no longer host bases of foreign troops. This will be under the original security guarantee in terms similar to “Article 5”, the collective defense clause of NATO. The proposal will be that this guarantee will be secured by NATO members Canada, Poland, and Turkey.

In addition, Ukraine will agree to a 15-year consultation period on the status of Russian-annexed Crimea upon a complete ceasefire. These proposals are being submitted to President Vladimir Putin. The Donbas is on the table for that must be settled to end the civil war which the US has been covertly funding against Russia thanks to the US Neocons.

While it appears based on our computer that some decision will come perhaps the week of April 18th, the real test will be something even far more important. Can the powers that be get our insane leader of the Free World, Joe Biden, to terminate all sanctions against Russians? If there is a peace settlement, then the White House should rescind all sanctions. That should include those put on by Obama back in 2014 because of Crimea. If that is NOT done, then there is no way to restore the world economy nor to aid the reduction of inflation. As long as sanctions remain in place, peace or no peace in Ukraine will mean nothing going forward.

Col Douglas Macgregor Gives His Updated Opinion on Current Status of Ukraine-Russia Conflict


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 29, 2022

Col Douglas Macgregor appears for an interview with Dave Smith on his “Part Of The Problem” podcast.  Col Macgregor gives his status update on the Ukraine and Russian military along with some excellent background information on the U.S. cultural issues which are driving the U.S. position.

Additionally, Macgregor overlays the economic battle both domestically and geopolitically with the currency war and talks about economic repercussions for the U.S., NATO countries, Ukraine and Russia.   As noted by Macgregor when the Biden administration turned favorably toward Iran the Saudis immediately realized it was in their best interest to withdraw strategic support for the U.S.

It’s a good interview that goes into much more depth than the average media appearance, and permits discussion of multiple facets of the conflict in/around Ukraine. The video is prompted to begin at 17:34 when the Ukraine discussion begins. WATCH:

Ukraine President Zelenskyy Demands Europe Transition to “Green Energy” Quickly


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 29, 2022 

And there it is….. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered a public broadcast urging the allied western nations to quickly adopt “green energy” policies which he says will undermine the influence of Russia in Europe.  If you’ve been following events, this demand is yet another big puzzle piece coming together.  {Go Deep 1Go Deep 2, and Go Deep 3)

The Recount has the video HERE. I cannot locate the shareable video on any other tech platform, which, given the importance, is not surprising. I doubt any govt in the western world wants to have the dots connected.

In the video Zelenskyy urges the NATO alliance, specifically western Europe, to quickly adopt the Build Back Better climate change agenda as it helps his country.  He advocates for “green energy” as a top priority so that alliance members are not reliant on Russian energy sales.

If it seems a little odd that a president, in the middle of a war zone, would be advocating for the climate change agenda, you are not seeing the big picture.  Ukraine is a crisis that cannot be wasted.  The Green New Deal, Build Back Better, and western nation climate change agenda is far more important than a single proxy war nation.  Ukraine is a tool in the bigger agenda, nothing more.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is controlled by the western alliance, NATO, Dept of State, CIA and western allied intelligence.  This is part of the reason why Russia took action in the first place.  Zelenskyy has a role to play and pushing the Build Back Better (WEF) agenda, while the opportunity exists, is all part of the organized global cleaving.

Two fractured geopolitical groups globally.

The green energy group (economic globalists), and the fossil fuel group (economic nationalists).

Behind the G7 and NATO, we know the multinational corporations assembled in the World Economic Forum are ultimately the driver of political policy. The central bankers, finance ministers and politicians all operate under the guidelines of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB) and World Trade Organization (WTO).

Together, the WEF, IMF, WB, WTO, EU central banks and U.S. federal reserve, collectively represent what we call the globalists.  And the globalists are pushing the climate change agenda hard {WEF LINK}.

It is always important to remember the ultimate goal of the ‘climate change’ promoters is not an energy system that changes the global climate. The goal of the ‘climate change’ group is to create a carbon trading system; a new financial mechanism (a global tax program) to control human activity on a world-wide basis.  This system also needs a digital identity in order to work.

As a consequence, when we look at the fracturing of the global energy marketplace, it is worth viewing the divided group through the prism of the globalist carbon trading scheme.

Two world groupings.  One group, oil-based energy (traditional) – let’s label them the RED GROUP (grey on map below), and one group GREEN energy (the build back better plan, yellow on map below).  It is not accidental these two groups hold similar internal geopolitical views and perspectives, hence, their alignment with the sanctions against Russia.

♦ The important part to see is… if this cleaving continues, there are going to be two sets of nations with two structurally different economies. A red group and a green group.

The Green group is going to be at a strong disadvantage, at least for a generation or two, as the costs associated with the production of goods and systems is going to be much more expensive to operate, as the transition into Build Back Better sustainable or renewable energy takes place.

However, this is where the strategery comes in.  If they can control the world effort globally, the GREEN GROUP may be able to offset their operational costs with a global tax against the RED GROUP.  That’s what yesterday’s G7 announcement was really about {GO DEEP}

This geopolitical contest is for all the marbles folks.

The opportunity to use disposable Joe Biden is the globalists once in a lifetime chance….

…And they are sure as hell acting like it.

CDC Recommends More Booster Shots for COVID Compliance, FDA Unilaterally Authorizes Fourth and Fifth Vaccination Shot


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 29, 2022 

Proving yet again, that once you get locked into the vaccine rona-coaster, you are not getting off until the ride’s over.  The CDC has recommended, and the FDA has approved COVID-19 booster shots number four and/or number five depending on your life expectancy and vulnerability status.

Step right up comrades and get em’ fast, while there’s still time before Big Pharma first quarter financial statements are closed.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, a woman of notoriously sketchy flip-floppery disposition, has decreed new boosters for most.

Because the life-saving vaccine products are the greatest thing ever, the FDA advisory panel wasn’t even needed this time.  You guessed it, no medical consultations, discussions or opinions were considered prior to the CDC and FDA announcement.

Yes, you read that confidence building paragraph correctly.

CDC Director – “Today, CDC expanded eligibility for an additional booster dose for certain individuals who may be at higher risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19. Boosters are safe, and people over the age of 50 can now get an additional booster 4 months after their prior dose to increase their protection further.”

“This is especially important for those 65 and older and those 50 and older with underlying medical conditions that increase their risk for severe disease from COVID-19 as they are the most likely to benefit from receiving an additional booster dose at this time. CDC, in collaboration with FDA and our public health partners, will continue to evaluate the need for additional booster doses for all Americans.” (more)

(Via NBC) […]  The FDA had already authorized a fourth shot for immunocompromised individuals. On Tuesday, the FDA also cleared a fifth shot, or second booster, for that group. Previously, immunocompromised individuals were authorized to receive a three-dose primary series of a vaccine followed by a booster.

Tuesday’s decision bypasses the independent panel of experts from both the FDA and the CDC, which have issued recommendations to the agencies throughout the pandemic on whether they should clear additional shots, and if so, for which groups.

During a call with reporters, Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, said officials didn’t seek the advice of the committees because they believe the risk of harm from an additional shot, including the risk of myocarditis, is low.

He said it’s possible Americans may need to get yet another dose of a Covid vaccine this fall.

That later dose, Marks said, may not be the same version of the shots currently in use — regulators may transition to a variant-specific vaccine or one that targets more than one strain. Both Pfizer and Moderna are testing a vaccine that targets the omicron variant. Moderna is also testing a shot that targets both the delta and omicron variants.

“At some point, we are going to have to realize that this is a virus that’s going to be with us and that we have to come to grips with dealing with it on a regular basis,” he said.

The share of people who’ve received their first booster remains low in the United States, with fewer than 50 percent of those who are eligible for a booster having received one, according to data from the CDC.

Officials may have a hard time persuading people to get a second booster — as Covid cases, hospitalizations and deaths remain low, some people feel a lack of urgency and have a reduced fear of the disease, experts say. (more)

Russia Indicates Withdrawal in Position From Ukraine Capital, Kyiv


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 29, 2022 

While the western propaganda about the Russian objective in Ukraine remains at a fever pitch, most intellectually honest observers have always held that liberation of eastern Ukraine was the goal of Russia and western Ukraine was never part of the objective.

With a decade-long civil war in eastern Ukraine preceding the current Russian operations, and with western forces supporting one side while Russia supported the other, it was always presumed -prior to the Russian military operations- that Vladimir Putin’s central goal was removing the NATO influence from eastern Ukraine.

That objective has seemingly remained visible throughout the conflict with Russian activity in western Ukraine limited in scope to targeting inbound NATO weapons and material support.

We might remember the 20-mile-long armored convoy that sat in place for weeks north of Kyiv while the media narrative was ‘any day now’. Those troops never moved on Kyiv, and in hindsight looked more like a strategic positioning of resources to keep western Ukraine in check while the more important goal of clearing eastern Ukraine was the ongoing operation.

It seems a little silly to point out the obvious, but everything Putin said about what he was doing in Ukraine is factually what has taken place. The western media narrative spinning his ‘true intents’ to be much more significant than his open statements, has never played out when reviewing the actual military operations. In short, Putin was then (as he said), and continues now, to be carving out eastern Ukraine and the Donbas region.

As the Russian operations in eastern Ukraine enter the clean-up and finalization stage, this report about the shift in Russian operations near Kyiv and western Ukraine makes a great deal of sense.  The Reuters spin is that Putin was losing western Ukraine, ergo he is reducing activity.  However, it never appeared that western Ukraine was part of the objective.

ISTANBUL/KYIV OUTSKIRTS/MARIUPOL, Ukraine, March 29 (Reuters) – Russia promised on Tuesday to scale down military operations around Ukraine’s capital and north, while Kyiv proposed adopting neutral status, in confidence-building steps that were the first signs of progress towards negotiating peace.

Their talks took place in an Istanbul palace more than a month into the largest attack on a European nation since World War Two. Russia’s invasion has been halted on most fronts by stiff resistance from Ukrainian forces who have recaptured territory even as civilians are trapped in besieged cities.

He made no mention of other areas that have seen heavy fighting, including around Mariupol in the southeast, Sumy and Kharkiv in the east and Kherson and Mykolaiv in the south.

Some analysts noted that Russia’s promise to reduce fighting mostly covered areas where it has been losing ground.

[…] Ukrainian negotiators said that under their proposals, Kyiv would agree not to join alliances or host bases of foreign troops, but would have security guaranteed in terms similar to “Article 5”, the collective defence clause of the transatlantic NATO military alliance.

They named Israel and NATO members Canada, Poland and Turkey as countries that may give such guarantees. Russia, the United States, Britain, Germany and Italy could also be involved.

The proposals, which would require a referendum in Ukraine, mentioned a 15-year consultation period on the status of Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014. The fate of the southeastern Donbas region, which Russia demands Ukraine cede to separatists, would be discussed by the Ukrainian and Russian leaders.

Kyiv’s proposals also included one that Moscow would not oppose Ukraine joining the European Union, Russia’s lead negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said. Russia has previously opposed Ukrainian membership of the EU and especially of NATO. (read more)

ECASH & Elizabeth Warren’s Hatred of America Linked to WEF


Blog/The Hunt for Taxes

Posted Mar 28, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Spread the love

QUESTION #1: Is this ECASH bill an attempt to do an end-run around the Fed raising interest rates and preparing to default on debt

EM

QUESTION #2: Martin:
Congratulations on your “scoop” regarding ECASH, however…..you have done an extremely poor job of actually describing what it is…who will have it…will it be mandatory for everyone…what if anything it will change in regard to bank accounts, brokerage accounts,,,,daily transactions…etc…etc…etc! Is this going to be something that will immediately affect everyone’s life in a major way, or is it something that most of us can ignore, if we wish, at least for the foreseeable future?
ALSO…what are the odds of it actually being approved by the house and senate?
Thank you.

Set of Federal Reserve Notes issued by every branch

ANSWER: NO it’s not an end-run around the Fed with interest rates. It is terminating the Federal Reserve issue of paper money. The Fed will still be able to create electronic money buying in bonds etc as they do now. But they will not be issuing paper money so the question will be the next stage of how to actually cancel what is out there. They will NO LONGER be printing money from here on out once they shove this down the throats of the American people.

It is the en-run against economic freedom and forces everyone on the grid. So while Biden hurls insults at Putin for an autocracy, he is working hard to eliminate our freedom right here at home. Because you will ONLY be able to buy it from a bank account, by default, they will eliminate the cash economy and realize Elizabeth Warren’s wet dream – they will tax absolutely everything!

It is interesting how our economic freedom made America the #1 world economy and Warren turns to Schwab’s star economist on how to bring America down to its knees. The WEF goal is to end the United States as a superpower. I call that treason.

Warren’s adviser is not American – but the French Communist who lurks in the shadows. The World Economic Forum’s economic star celebrity – Thomas Pickety the French Economic Communist!

You will have to pay that 14-year-old girl next door for babysitting your kids with barter – chocolate bars, lipstick, cans of food, or just clothes on a shopping spree. It will be MANDATORY for everyone since the Fed will no longer be printing paper money. The only change to bank accounts is that they will eventually be required for everyone as Europe has already declared that it is a human right to have an account. Your bank accounts, brokerage accounts, and retirement accounts won’t change since they are already electronic book entries. That will be the WEALTH TAX in Biden’s separate bill. As far as daily transactions, in reality, you will be paying for something at a store the same but the cash will be like a Debit Card.

This will NOT be something that will immediately affect everyone’s life for it has to pass Congress. This is the time to start writing to every pretend representative we have. Come November, we really need REGIME CHANGE here in America in a major way but it is time to consider abandoning the Income Tax and moving to simply a retail sales tax to recapture our freedom. Then the “rich” will pay when they buy their $300 million yachts regardless if it is from a Trust, Foundation, Corporation, or personal Piggybank.

This will NOT be something that most of us can ignore if it gets passed. It will completely destroy our personal freedom. It is going to be a tough sell for all we need is just ONE Democrat to say NO. Otherwise, the Democratic Party will destroy our future and that of our children making sure that the United States will become just a footnote in the history books. That’s what will unfold for daring to follow Marxism just as communism fell officially on November 9th, 1989 (1989.85) with the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Guess what, 31.4 years from that collapse of Marxism, brings us to the rise of Marxism with the election of Joe Biden – 2021.25.

When Joe was practicing his speech in Poland, he was looking in the mirror saying:

“For God’s Sake, This Man Cannot Remain In Power”

The Democrats have declared war on the free markets and want to destroy the underground economy. If you are a bellman, get another job. This ends all tips unless it’s included in the tab, and when you have your mask on for the next manufactured pandemic, there will be no coins left for parking meters or vending machines.

Biden Cheat Sheet Shows How Team Behind White House Intended to Control His Cleanup


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 28, 2022

When Joe Biden appeared before the press corps today, the intent was to clean up the mess he created in his trip to NATO this past weekend.

When Biden makes policy statements and reads from the teleprompter, Joe Biden usually doesn’t answer questions.  Today was different.  Today, it was obvious the White House communication team needed Biden to clean up his NATO statements.

The evidence for that is very clear, as someone was able to capture a picture of the talking points that were prepared for him to read.  One pre-printed response even reads, “I was not articulating a change in policy.”

(New York Post) –  President Joe Biden once again referred to a printed cheat sheet as he doubled down on his unscripted weekend claim that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

On Monday Biden, 79, told reporters he made “no apologies” for his remarks — made off the cuff and not part of his prepared speech in a nationally televised address from Poland Saturday — and did not view it as a provocation to Russia.

“It’s more an aspiration than anything. He shouldn’t be in power. There’s no  — I mean, people like this shouldn’t be ruling countries, but they do. The fact is they do, but it doesn’t mean I can’t express my outrage about it.”

His comments closely aligned with notes printed on a small piece of paper that he was photographed holding in his left hand as he spoke that began as follows (read more):

No one has yet provided a good explanation as to why the Biden administration has a stage set of the White House in a studio across the street from the real White House.

The specifics of this Potemkin administrations are opaque, but everyone knows that it’s not Joe Biden making policy or executing these communication points. Biden is a puppet, that is not in question. The majority of his administration staff are from the Obama terms in office; that too is not in question.

The people who were behind Obama appear to be the same people pushing this Biden agenda.
