Trudeau Dreams of Dictatorship
Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 4, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
In 2013 a reporter asked Justin Trudeau which country he most admired. “There is a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime,” Trudeau smiled and stated with seriousness. He went on to say how he admired (i.e., envied) how dictators could simply implement laws on a whim without the consent of the people, and added a nod to climate change policies as the left does not see that as a problem yet.
“There is a flexibility that I know Stephen Harper must dream about of having a dictatorship where he could do whatever he wanted,” he stated. No, Mr. Trudeau, YOU dream of dictatorship. You have shown the Canadian people and the world stage that you are a complete coward by hiding from the Freedom Convoy in your glass castle while diminishing the views of Canadians to that of a “small fringe minority.” Trudeau called opposing vaccine mandates an “unacceptable view,” but feels that handing all liberties over to government is an ideal Utopia.
Whether China is a dictatorship or not is another topic, but the real issue here is that the leader of Canada does not respect his nation’s Constitution or Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This interview was recorded before the COVID pandemic that gave world leaders a little taste of unlimited authority and they are reluctant to relinquish that power.
Internet trolls sometimes add a bit of humor to the mix. At the time of this writing, the website Liar.com redirects to Justin Trudeau’s Wikipedia page. Some say that billionaire Elon Musk is behind the joke, but that remains unconfirmed.
World War III Begins in the Financial Markets
Armstong Economics Blog/Central Banks Re-Posted Feb 3, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
The Bank of England raised rates for a second time which is the first time they have responded in this manner to inflation since 2004 during the boom into 2007. While the Bank of England has choreographed its intent to raise rates as has the Federal Reserve, this meant that the markets were not surprised by the 25 basis point rate increase. The Monetary Policy Committee voted for 5-4 and which takes the main Bank Rate to 0.5%, as the central bank struggles to contain soaring inflation unleashed by the COVID Plandemic. Four members voted to increase rates by 50 basis points to 0.75%.
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank has destroyed the European bond market with their NEGATIVE interest rates. This entire COVID Plandemic has been used for this Great Reset which was created at the World Economic Forum. Schwab has a death-grip around the throat of Europe. Aside from his Young Leaders Program where he has been training people and strategically placing that in governments around the world, he has boldly placed three of his board members of the WEF in the very top positions at the head of the EU, the head of the ECB, and the head of the International Monetary Fund.
The Bank of England and the Federal Reserve are defending their economies from the onslaught of the WEF. This leaves the European Central Bank standing along with negative interest rates defending Schwab’s darkest visions for our future – the end of Democratic forms of government pushing the world into World War III so he can Build Back Better.
We are witnessing a Financial war Fed & Bank of England v Schwab’s Build Back Better agenda
Alberta Towing Services Company Onforms RCMP They Will Not Participate in Effort to Remove Trucker Blockade
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 4, 2022 | Sundance | 114 Comments
There are some good developments and some disappointing developments recently in the Freedom Convoy efforts to regain personal liberty and remove the COVID mandates in Canada. First, the good development…
The RCMP attempted to get the contracted support of a Western Canada towing company, Inter-Pacific Transporation, in the effort to break up the Alberta truck blockade in/around the border crossing between Coutts, Alberta (CA) and Sweet Grass, Montana (USA). However, the towing company released a public statement saying they stand with their brothers, the truck drivers:
In a less positive development, the interim voice of the Canadian Conservative Party, Mrs. Candice Bergen, had her first opportunity to confront the Trudeau administration in support of working class Canadians. She failed miserably.
Instead of taking the issues of vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, covid restrictions and freedom in general to the floor of the Parliament, Ms. Bergen fell into the trap of debating racism with the Trudeau leadership.
As if operating in the 1800s, with diplomatic and political aloof-minded culturalisms, and in an epic display of ineptitude, the inability to articulate an argument, a detached focus toward the issues at hand and general weakness of principle, Ms. Bergen showcased her own incapacity to understand how to avoid the Alinsky approach of her political opponent.
Ms. Bergen’s first effort at representing strong conservative principles and being a pragmatic voice for Middle Canada, failed miserably. WATCH:
If this really is the best voice Canadian conservatives can put forth, the truckers and working class protestors will have a much more difficult fight on their hands. It is almost too painful to keep watching this level of pathetic weakness.
Mrs. Bergen is trying to please the abuser while framing her arguments and positions on the terms and conditions created by her opposition.
Perhaps the premise of controlled opposition is just a structurally inherent aspect to the system of government, but surely somewhere in Canada there must be a strong conservative politician not suffering from parliamentary Stockholm Syndrome.

U.S. Senator Ray Lujan Suffers Stroke, Creates Issue for Biden and Democrat Agenda
Posted originally on the conservative tree House on February 3, 2022 | Sundance | 328 Comments
Senator Ray Lujan from New Mexico suffered a stroke recently. Thankfully, despite the seriousness of his medical situation, he is expected to make a recovery. However, he will likely miss all U.S. Senate work for at least a month. Lujan’s absence creates a significant issue for Senate Democrats in an upper chamber with a 50/50 split.
Lujan suffered the stroke last Thursday, on the same day Joe Biden announced the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. The news of Senator Lujan’s major medical condition has been essentially quiet.
With Joe Biden expecting to nominate a Supreme Court justice very soon, the senator’s absence could be problematic.
However, not to worry, creepy Joe’s recent praise of Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham will likely assist.
WASHINGTON DC – […] While the 49-year-old New Mexico Democrat is expected to make a full recovery, no one knew when he would return to the evenly divided Senate, or what it means for the immediate agenda.
Luján’s unexpected medical condition comes at a moment when Senate Democrats simply don’t have any votes to spare to pass party priorities, including reviving their social spending bill and now confirming a Supreme Court justice. The latest news could leave Democrats reliant on Republican votes to move forward on nominees and other priorities.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Tuesday evening that Democrats are “grateful” that Luján will make a “full recovery” and that he looks forward to his return to the Senate. He predicted that “the Senate will be able to carry forward with its business.”
Carlos Sanchez, Luján’s chief of staff, said that the senator checked himself into a hospital Thursday afternoon in Santa Fe after experiencing dizziness and fatigue. The senator later learned he had suffered a stroke and had to undergo decompressive surgery. (read more)
To the rescue….
Must Watch, AP Journalist Matt Lee Questions State Dept About Claims of Russian Aggression
February 3, 2022 | Sundance | 608 Comments
If you watch anything today, this is it. AP Journalist Matt Lee has been around for a long time. He’s the consistent person in the State Department briefing room who understands the deep state institutional games, and he knows how to spot narrative engineering.
Earlier today State Department Spokesman Ned Price said, “The United States has information that Russia is planning to stage fabricated attacks by Ukrainian military or intelligence forces as a pretext for a further invasion of Ukraine.”
Journalist Matt Lee then asked Ned Price what the declassified evidence was that the state dept was referring to. Price responded that he just gave it to the audience; meaning his word was the evidence. Matt Lee calls bullshit on Price, and things got really interesting. WATCH:
Folks, the intelligence state, the Fourth Branch of Government, is making it all up. Everything about this Russian looming attack narrative has been manufactured out of whole cloth by the Intelligence Community and Biden administration.
The statements and position by Ned Price are transparently absurd. Ridiculously so. Matt Lee calling the bluff on the U.S. State Department, and comparing them to Alex Jones conspiracy theorists, is peak insanity. No one trusts the U.S. government institutions any longer. Everyone knows the “intelligence state” makes stuff up to steer and control events. It’s a joke.
Russia is likely not doing anything, likely doesn’t even have a threatening posture, but yet, inside the DC bubble we are on the precipice of a thermonuclear war. We have passed through the looking glass, and now we are in bizarro world.
Fearful of Protest Trucks Arriving, Quebec City Officials Block Streets with City Trucks
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 3, 2022 | Sundance | 496 Comments
As the Ottawa police chief ponders the deployment of the Canadian military to remove protestors and is concerned that more protest groups are likely to arrive in support of the existing convoy, city officials in Quebec have deployed a proactive strategy – block the streets with city trucks.
A Radio Canada journalist in Quebec shares the following picture:
Quebec City officials have moved municipal trucks into place to block the streets from protest trucks. Yes Alice, Canadian officials are blocking the streets with trucks in order to stop trucks from blocking the streets. Brilliant!
Meanwhile, as many of the locals join in celebration and merriment with the protest groups, some of the more leftist Ottawans are now protesting at the police department for not removing the protestors. They accuse the Freedom protestors of “running amok.”
(Via CBC) – […] Rhys McGaw, a downtown resident, and others gathered for a second night on Wednesday to object to what they view as inaction by police. “In my neighbourhood, on my street, down the street, in the stores of Centretown or Lowertown — that’s where people are just running amok,” McGaw said.” (more)
Despite earlier requests by city officials for the Canadian military to get involved, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says -from his secret bunker- that’s “not in the cards.” Trudeau also doubled down on his position that he will not negotiate with the Freedom Convoy protestors.
However, the prime minister did affirm that RCMP officials will be present in Ottawa to provide safe space emotional counseling for residents experiencing trauma and psychological violence committed by the scruffy and unmasked working-class horde now occupying Parliament Hill.
(Via CBC) – […] When asked if he’d ever consider negotiating directly with the protesters to get them to leave, Trudeau said that vaccine mandates were debated in detail during the September federal election.
“That is the decision Canadians took in the last election, by voting for parties that were supporting those mandates,” he told a virtual news conference Thursday.
“So having a group of people who disagree with the outcome of an election, who want to go a different way and bring in an alternative government, is a non-starter in a responsible democracy.” (read more)
Trudeau is a Disgrace as a Head of State & Putin’s Approval Rating is nearly 2x Biden’s
Armstrong Economics Blog/Ethics Re-Posted Feb 3, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
The Canadian Freedom Convoy may not have moved Trudeau. Trudeau takes his orders as a good graduate of the World Economic Forum’s young leader program to infiltrate the world to push Schwab’s Marxist agenda. Nevertheless, it has led the way for the world. We now see these COVID political restrictions collapsing in England, Denmark, Finland, South Africa, and even Spain has announced it is degrading COVID to the flu.
Canada has been inspirational to the world, and this was a great idea. We are likely to see this unfold in other countries where the World Economic Forum has been running the show.
Schwab’s star pupil in his young leader’s infiltration of government has seen her polls collapse to just a 35% approval rating on par with Joe Biden, who may not be a WEF graduate, but he is a WEF supporter along with John Kerry. Trudeau’s approval rating is also well below 50%.
Putin’s approval rating in Russia stands at 65% and rising. His approval rating is nearly twice that of Biden, yet the Western press, wearing their propaganda hat, keep bashing Putin. The press is so desperately trying to portray him as evil when in fact all they are doing is keeping the old Iron Curtain up insofar as propaganda is concerned. The US and NATO have refused to compromise on anything which is deeply disturbing for it backs Putin into a corner where he looks weak to his people or he invades, which appears to be the distraction the West now desires.
We have the worst crop of world leaders in the West than at any point in history, and they have all been conditioned to follow Schwab’s dream of forcing his Great Reset upon the entire world, which has been his dream of reorganizing how society should function according to the ideas from the deep crevasses of his very dark mind. He even has Fauci and the head of New Zealand appear in his videos promoting his Marxist agenda, claiming equality is the number one problem. We are in a battle for our freedom and that of the future of our children that Schwab and his World Economic Forum are out to destroy. Is it any wonder why the one world leader with the highest approval rating in their own country is now Putin who is standing up to Schwab and his agenda?
It has been Schwab promoting the COVID lockdowns to undermine the global economy so he can BUILD BACK BETTER, which implies you first must destroy it.
