Steve Harrigan Returns From Ukraine With a Somber Message About the Situation


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 14, 2022 | Sundance 

Fox News correspondent Steve Harrigan returns from Ukraine with a somber message about the situation and likely future.   Harrigan notes that Russian victory in Ukraine is a foregone conclusion – Ukraine will be flattened if needed. However, that outcome comes at a serious cost.

The war inside Ukraine will wage on for years as an insurgency against Vladimir Putin.  The western alliance will spend trillions if needed.  NATO will kill as many Ukrainians and mercenary units as needed in order to battle Vladimir Putin in a proxy war.   The industrial war machine will gleefully churn out the material needed for the DC based political war machine to purchase.   First, WATCH:

Harrigan is correct, however, he missed the biggest tell-tale sign of all.  Where are the peacekeepers?  Where are the diplomatic voices, the ranks of the prudent and pragmatic political voices who focus on stopping the death?  Where are those voices?  Where is the faith-based voice asking for leaders to stop, breathe, meet and seek a solution without further war?

Those voices are silent because the western motive is to create a long-term insurgent war in Ukraine.  The geopolitical system views this as an existential battle against Russia.  Both sides in this conflict view this as a zero-sum contest.  The NATO alliance doesn’t view Volodymyr as a hero, he’s a tool.

If Zelenskyy were to walk toward a negotiated ceasefire, the bullet that kills him would come from the rear.  That’s how corrupt this conflict is.

Trump Warned NATO of Europe’s Reliance on Russian Energy


Armstrong Economics Blog/Energy Re-Posted Mar 14, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Everyone criticized Trump for condemning his NATO allies in 2018. At the time, only five nations were meeting their 2% GDP spending requirement on NATO defense, with the US paying around 5%. Trump suggested that everyone contribute 4% to build a stronger alliance. He never wanted to back away from NATO to support Putin, rather, he wanted to back away from NATO because he felt the US had been taken advantage of by its European allies.

Trump called Ukraine the wall between Russia and Europe and stated that America had become the “sucker country” by shelling out millions to Ukraine when they received far less in return. He warned Europe that their reliance on Russian imported energy would spell disaster and went as far as declaring that Germany was “totally controlled by Russia.” Instead of looking for energy alternatives, Germany went through with the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline and wasted billions as sanctions were implemented before the pipeline was fully functional.

Western world leaders failed us by using Russia as the easy solution for energy while simultaneously failing to have any diplomatic relationships with the country. The energy crisis was preventable.

J6 Fishing Expedition and 2022 Election Goals Could Reveal Why Pelosi Opened Satellite DC Police Offices in Key States


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 13, 2022 | Sundance 

This post is an assembly of previous research, in preparation for what is likely to surface soon.

Anyone who has followed politics for any amount of time knows the Nancy Pelosi “January 6th Committee” is an opposition research effort under the guise of a House investigation.  The goal is to frame an extremist narrative favorable for the Democrats in the 2022 mid-term election.  That is the entire goal.

What the Mueller probe was to President Trump, the J6 Committee is to the MAGA movement.

Everyone, and I do mean e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e in Washington DC knew Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel for one reason, to target President Trump, weaken his administration and ultimately remove him from office.  Not a single entity in DC did not know that was the goal.  The same is true here.

Everyone in DC knows Nancy Pelosi’s J6 Committee is intended to target Democrat political opposition. That is the goal. That is ONLY the goal.  Not a single entity in DC does not know that is the goal.

The Republican House members who voted to authorize the J6 Committee know the goal is to target Republicans.  Please repeat that as many times as you need in order to dispatch your battered conservative status.  The Republican House members who voted to authorize the J6 Committee are OUR ENEMY every bit as much as the Democrats.

All of that said, we are now entering the 2022 mid-term election cycle.  The downstream networks, identified by the J6 Committee, are likely to become targets – viewed as influence risks by the Democrats in power.  However, as the objectives of the J6 net grow wider, the DC jurisdiction of the J6 runs into an increasingly more challenging enforcement issue.

Legislative investigations are not criminal investigations.  They are authorized only insofar as they can provide legitimate information for the purposes of constructing future legislation.  As a result, a subpoena for compliance with a legislative investigation may or may not be legally binding if there is no outlined criminal conduct associated with the inquiry.

Thus, we enter the area of enforcement of a congressional subpoena, toward a target that has no criminal activity exposure, as it may relate to the J6 demand for inquiry compliance.  The targets of the J6 Committee are now expanding toward voices of influence opposed to their power and control.

Voices of influence can be websites or independent researchers who are sharing information adverse to the interests of the DC power structure.

If my suspicions from last year are accurate, I believe we are about to find out why Nancy Pelosi established satellite offices of the Capitol Hill Police Department in several states.  The DC Police are positioned to be used as the enforcement mechanism for non-criminal congressional subpoenas that cannot flow through the U.S. Dept of Justice.

REMINDER – JULY, 2021 – In a remarkable display of how committed the Democrat Party is to utilizing the narrative of domestic extremism for their own benefit, Nancy Pelosi is placing satellite field offices for the DC Capitol Police in key regions around the country.  When we consider the FBI has field offices all over the country, you might ask: Why does the Capitol Hill Police need to expand beyond Washington DC?

Essentially, what Nancy Pelosi is doing is expanding the federal law enforcement mechanism of the legislative branch into specific areas where they can investigate political opposition armed with legal authority.

This is a concerning shift in events; however, there is a likelihood such a move is connected to the larger political goal of enhanced federal enforcement to quell any rebellion while working in concert with the DOJ.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday announced that the agency was opening regional field offices in California and Florida to investigate threats to members of Congress in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Threats against members of Congress have increased in recent years. As of Tuesday, total threats so far in 2021 were double what they were at this point a year ago, according to Capitol Police.

[…] “At this time, Florida and California are where the majority of our potential threats are,” a department spokesperson said in a statement. “The field offices will be the first for the Department. A regional approach to investigating and prosecuting threats against Members is important, so we will be working closely with the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in those locations.”

A spokesperson did not answer questions Tuesday about how many staff would be hired or what the cost to taxpayers would be.  The spokesperson said other regional offices were expected. (read more)

[Emphasis above, mine.]  See this for what it is without getting too granular on the specifics.  A federal political agency will now coordinate with federal U.S. Attorneys on specific targeting operations.  In essence, the Florida and California offices of Pelosi’s police will direct the DOJ on who and where to target.  This is completely political.

There’s no legislative or constitutional process for a subsidiary federal law enforcement agency to exist.  This appears to be a new construction outside the boundaries of the legislative branch, and quasi-constitutional from the framework of the executive branch.   Essentially, satellite DC police units.

State Governors need to respond to this action with direct and specific inquiries about what “federal” authorities “guide” these offices?  What federal legislative authority created them?  The New York Police Department cannot set up a field office in Atlanta, Georgia, or Dallas, Texas; there is no jurisdictional authority that would permit it.  So, how can the DC Police Department arbitrarily operate field offices in states outside Washington DC jurisdiction?

This appears to be a quasi-legal investigative agency run out of DC.  I would be very curious to see what legal authority they would cite to support the operation(s).

As we have mentioned previously, the United States Department of Justice is prepared to use federal law enforcement (FBI) to secure their position.  The purpose of their recent announcements should be clear to everyone.  We discussed and outlined the background previously.  {Go Deep 1} and {Go Deep Two}

In the background of these maneuvers, corporate Big Tech, corporate U.S. media and those DC politicians under the control of multinational corporations, have been instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative.

Any organized and articulate truth-tellers are considered subversive, i.e. against the interests of the U.S. government.  The January 6th DC protest is being used as an illustrative example for that narrative.

In an intelligence community controlled operation (ex. General Stanley McCrystal), ideological deplatforming, censorship, content removal and ultimately control of voices who would warn of larger issues, continues daily.  […] “The group, Defeat Disinfo, will use artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of [opposition] claims on social media. It will seek to intervene by identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against [their opposition].” (source)

I will say it again…. stop and hear the drums.   Something is about to happen; federal agencies are acting in a very proactive manner.  This shift by Nancy Pelosi is yet another advance move in preparation for, or in defense of, something they are planning for.  Either they are doing something, fearful of us discovering something, or they are preparing for us to react to something, and they are pre-positioning assets to defend against it.  They are all-in, and it shows.

At the 30,000/ft level, approximately 100 million+ American voters are considered dissidents now. Meanwhile, the DOJ, the FBI and now DC Capitol Police are preparing against the American people implementing state-level action, the true nature of federalism, as a defense against a corrupt federal government.

{BREAK}

Everything above I said last year.  We are now entering the mid-term 2022 election cycle, and the Democrats have to trigger something or else they are going to get crushed in this election cycle.  That something is likely going to come directly from the J6 construct.  That something is likely the use of the J6 authority to target political influencers.

We are all distracted by large shiny things being deployed.  While the MSM is gleefully filling time with all things Russia, Ukraine, NATO etc, it is important that we focus domestically on what is happening around us.

Something inside this J6 dynamic is about to take place.  Something

New Interview: Insane Globalists Collapsing World Economy


Armstrong Economics Blog/Armstrong in the Media Re-Posted Mar 13, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Click here to watch Martin Armstrong’s latest interview with Greg Hunter from USAWatchdog.

A message from Greg Hunter:

In his USAWatchdog.com interview just two weeks ago, legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong said, The New World Order’s so-called ‘Great Reset’ plan for humanity is ‘falling apart,’ and pointed out, “They are basically desperate at this stage.  I don’t think they anticipated the amount of resistance they are getting.”

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is enormous resistance to the New World Order plans.  Armstrong, who has new data from his Socrates computer analysis, is out with a fresh critical update.  Armstrong explains, “It’s just total insanity.  They are, really at this stage, completely collapsing the world economy.  You have Apple and all these companies; there are over 300 American companies in Russia.  Their assets are going to be seized.  They are all now in a panic mode to get out, and you are going to see the same situation with China.  This is insane.  It really is insane, and you just don’t do this.  I can’t believe these governments have listened to this sort of advice.  It’s really, really disastrous.  What creates world peace is not nuclear weapons.  It’s economic, basically.  As long as everybody benefits, then you are not going to bite the hand that feeds you.  When you start cutting off trade on both sides, you are wiping out the global economy.  That is what has provided world peace since WWII. . . . By 2023, I don’t see this backing off.  Once you have undermined the global financial economy, you have removed the benefits and then it does turn to war.”

Armstrong sees a “serious problem with a war cycle in early 2023” but hopes it does not go full nuclear.  The financial war has already gone nuclear.

Before the end of this year, Armstrong’s “Socrates” computer program sees a “panic cycle” for the 2022 mid-term elections, mainly for the Democrats.  Armstrong explains more about this in the interview.

Armstrong says inflation is here to stay, and it’s going to be huge in some areas.  Armstrong sees gasoline rising to $8 to $10 per gallon sometime in 2023.  Armstrong says buy everything you think you will need because it will never be cheaper, and it may not even be there in the future at any price.  Food is high on Armstrong’s list, and he says have good old fashion cash on hand because of cyber-attacks and power outages that he sees coming in some areas.  Armstrong also sees an average of 25% inflation by 2024.  This, again, is according to his “Socrates” computer program.  Armstrong says “the commodity cycle will take off in 2024.”    Armstrong sees everything going up in price, and that includes gold and silver.  Interest rates will also be headed up, and the stock market is not going to do well in a trend that sees interest rates rising.

Armstrong says communism is what the New World Order really wants.  Armstrong says, “The globalists want communism, but the problem with communism is it does not work—period.”

Armstrong blames the western world leaders for the mess the world is in today.  Armstrong says, “It’s their fault. . . .This is the worst crop of world leaders I have ever seen, and I have been consulting governments for 40 years. . . . The level of stupidity on the world stage is stunning.”

Armstrong is also predicting the“civil unrest will not only continue, but “it will get much worse.”

The Decline & Fall of the Global Economy


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re- Posted Mar 13, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

There are a host of Republicans writing to Biden that he should send planes to Ukraine. These people in Washington are always quick to spill the blood of other people’s children – not their own. I find it appalling that you do not hear a single world that Zelensky should compromise on anything. His refusal to let the two provinces be independent which was promised them in the Mink Agreement back in 2014 is unnecessarily putting his entire country at risk for some antiquated theory of imperialism. It was the USSR that drew the borders of Ukraine. It was not an independent country in itself until modern times.

Instead, Zelensky is trying to drag the entire world into World War III, and make no mistake about it, do that and you will find that China is partners with Russia. There is no doubt that Russia should go ahead and nationalize all the foreign companies that left Russia over this Ukraine issue. Even Warren Buffet started dumping Apple stock. Never in all my career have I watched corporations make such stupid decisions. There is no such thing as “temporarily” closing businesses. Biden has destroyed the world economy with sanctions and confiscated the assets of private Russians. There will be no return because there is no way that Russia can now yield to the demand of the West. So they will never return and the assets left behind might as well be nationalized for the world economy as we have known it has been destroyed.

Once Biden removed Russia from SWIFT, which refused to do so when asked by Obama during 2014 and Crimea, that was the first blow to the world economy. SWIFT has undermined the entire world showing that it is no longer about supporting global interaction, but it is just now a political tool. China now has no choice but to move ahead on its own replacement. Hence, that was the first blow to ending the global economy. The second was Biden confiscating the personal assets of Russians rather than keeping this between governments. This has created a Waterfall Crisis whereas the global economy as we once knew it has come to an end. You cannot do business with the United States for they can invade a country, never be sanctioned, but if anyone else does what they do it becomes war. Whoever is making these sorts of decisions clearly has no sense of integrity, history, or international relations.

Biden will be remembered as the man that began the decline and fall of the American Empire.

Ukraine the Real Story


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Mar 12, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Former national security adviser John Bolton that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin was “waiting” for a possible United States withdrawal from NATO, claiming former President Donald Trump would have likely made such a move had he been reelected, The Hill reports.
I also see that Steve Bannon is going after Hannity for jumping off the Putin wagon and also Pence letting the orange turd know he is also. They eat their own in the republican party…
CN

REPLY: Bolton was a plant in the Trump Administration. The Deep State selected Trump’s cabinet. I am not speculating. I myself was asked to take the position of Chief Economic Adviser during the Bush Jr. Administration and declined. Bolton is a warmonger. He came out against Trump because he wanted to exit Afghanistan. I went to Mar-a-Lago for a private dinner and I was shocked. It was the very first time I EVER heard a president say it bothered him to send letters to parents and received bodies of American soldiers who died in Afghanistan and he said for what? “They have been fighting over borders for a thousand years. What difference are we going to make.” Never have I ever heard any president concerned about American life.

You may hate Trump, but what you have voted for is the start of the Decline and Fall of Western Civilization. You can deny everything and Bolton can spin his BS. Biden is now blaming Putin for the rise in gas prices when from the outset he promised to “end fossil fuels” and immediately took that position. These sanctions against Russia are also to accomplish the same ends – terminating fossil fuels because these people really think there are only 7 years left and that was 2 years ago.

Remember Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) which was a scheduled passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur? It was shot down on July 17, 2014, while flying over Eastern Ukraine. All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed. Immediately the US accused Russia and then imposed sanctions on them. It was shot down by the Ukrainian Nazis with an old Russian missile that Russia was no longer using. They did so trying to get the US to enter their revolution against Russians living there in Donestk. Why has Zelensky refused to allow those people to vote? Russia had no motive to shoot down that flight and it was not over Russian territory. It was a false flag to try to blame Russia by the very Ukrainian Nazis who support Zelensky.

You should watch the film Ukraine on Fire by Oliver Stone before you make assumptions. People are clueless as to the real story of Ukraine. They too joined the German Nazis and also engaged in the genocide of Poles, Jews, and Russians. They were notorious but BECAUSE they also hated Russians. For this reason, the Ukrainian Nazis were NEVER put on trial for the very same war crimes that the Germans carried out. So your enemy is my friend as they say. You are cheering for Zelensky who is also trying to create World War III not just because he hates Russians allowing the civil war to continue against them, but he is also in league with Schwab and his World Economic Forum seeking to destroy the world economy so they can BUILD BACK BETTER under the economic theories of Schwab.

They used psychological warfare to make sure you hated Trump and voted for Biden not on issues, but solely on your hatred. They are carrying out the very same psychological warfare to get you to also now hate Putin and therefore you will NEVER look at the facts.

This is not an issue of supporting Trump or Putin. This is an issue of supporting humanity against those who think they are God and can reshape the future into the design that they have in their wild imaginations. These people are DESPERATELY trying to create World War III stirring your hatred so you become a mindless pawn in the war games. You might as well wear an explosive vest and blow yourself up for Allah, for they use the very same tactics on young Arab kids to die for their political games as well. Leaders of such movements never blow themselves up – it is convincing others to do so.

The “orange turd” as you say was demonized and his controller was said to be Putin. To accomplish this agenda, they needed to remove Trump, then Putin, and then they will turn on China. Soros, who I believe is behind the funding of Zelensky, is already out starting to demonize Xi Jinping in China where Soros has declared “the greatest threat that open societies face today.” To support their agenda, they have to get you hating China, Russia, and Trump. I believe COVID was created in a lab and deliberately leaked in China and then they call it the CCP virus.

You have no idea what is really going on and if anyone tries to expose it, they dismiss it as conspiracy theory so they never have to answer questions. You probably are also one of those people who couldn’t wait to keep getting vaccine boosters and wore your mask in your car while driving alone. Do you also sleep with a condom on at night when alone just in case?

Neil Oliver Outlines Google Moral Relativism and the Media Approved Hatred Against Russians


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 12, 2022 | Sundance

Neil Oliver takes the opportunity of his weekend monologue to put the context of recent government events into a framework of history.  Oliver eloquently reflects on our current condition, yet far too few people can see it.

As he looks from where he is, Oliver can see we are in a new world order kind of place.  A place where government, big tech social discussion platforms, and the mindful authorities in charge of directing our focus,  have decided in their unilateral magnanimity, to dust off the moral relativism tools, use the fine-tuning mechanism, and target our attention so that we hate the Russians.

Like most of us, Neil Oliver refuses to give the powers that be access to that place in his mind where he determines right from wrong.  Instead, knowing how these same moral relativists have just used COVID to create harm, that has yet to be appropriately quantified, Oliver stands firm with the words of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and says, “fuck off.”  But he says it in a nice way for television.  WATCH:
