The Two Paths to Build Back Better


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Dec 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

We must understand that the idea that ONLY a war will achieve this goal of a one-world government goes hand-in-hand with this theory that Marxism would have worked if it spread to Europe and the United States – not just Russia and China. That historical view of looking at the past through rose-colored glasses is absurd. Communism in Russia sought to brainwash the people, instructing children that the state was their parent, not their biological parents, and if they spoke against the state, they should report their biological parents to the state.

Russia outlawed religion. The Pope is a Marxist linked to the World Economic Forum who has been turning religion on its head. He is the first Pope ever to claim that adultery is no big deal and the first to demand that Latin Masses be banished. He has been part of the Catacomb Pact that was intended to strip the church of its religious doctrines and instill those of Marxism. Pope Francis’ links to the World Economic Forum are very disturbing, for the very heart of Marxism is the rejection of God.

We see this listening carefully to the words of Klaus Schwab, where he dismisses both God and nature and is really proclaiming that humans construct the future. He assumes we are all-powerful and can reshape the future to fit our theories. Every respect for nature and even God has been rejected. This is Marxism, where we possess the power to change how the world functions, despite the fact that this very arrogance precludes any debate or research.

If there was ever a time when the West is crumbling from within, and the end gold is to Build Back Better creating a new world order from the ashes, there have been two schools of thought. First, there have been those who believed that creating another Great Depression would achieve that objective just as Roosevelt ended free-market capitalism. The second is that to also reduce the population, we need a war to achieve all the goals and Build Back Better as they did following World War II.

Anything less than those two types of events will not achieve their goal. They tried the whole climate change agenda using a 16-year old girl but that failed. They raised her to the world stage and paid for her travel to even Canada in an attempt to get Alberta to stop producing fossil fuels.

They put her in at Davos and Schwab made his movie, “The Forum,” which was supposed to be about his 50-year career, but it became a propaganda pitch for climate change. Jenifer Morgan of Green Peace allegedly authored all the scripts that Greta would stand up and read.

Russia’s Demands v USA

The publication of the demands of Russia for peace in Europe comes amid soaring tensions over a Russian troop buildup near Ukraine that has drawn fears of an invasion. Moscow has denied plans to attack its neighbor but demanded the West provide a set of legal guarantees precluding NATO’s expansion to Ukraine and the deployment of the alliance’s weapons there, a demand NATO has rejected. Putin is displaying force which honestly NATO would be unable to match and Biden is the perfect president to invite World War III because not that he has lost his mental ability to handle decisions in war (i.e., Afghanistan), but that the cronies constituting his Administration are only focused on the environment t and aiding the World Economic Forum’s agenda to create a one-world government under Marxism headed by the United Nations. This is the PERFECT time for Russia to make such demands that the USA and NATO would never agree to thereby justifying the invasion of Europe.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia’s relations with the USA and its NATO allies have approached a “dangerous point,” noting that alliance deployments and drills near Russia have raised “unacceptable” threats to its security. Russia has used this as justification to publish its draft security pacts, demanding that NATO deny membership to Ukraine and other ex-Soviet countries and roll back the deployment of troops and weapons in central and eastern Europe. None of this would have happened under Trump or any other sound politician who is NOT the puppet of Klaus Schwab and his consortium, which includes George Soros.

The documents, published on Friday, also call for a ban on sending the US and Russian warships and aircraft to areas from where they can attack each other’s territory as well as a halt to NATO military drills near Russia’s borders.

The proposals were submitted to the United States and its allies earlier this week and contain elements – such as an effective Russian veto on future NATO membership for Ukraine – that the West has already ruled out. NATO’s secretary-general emphasized on Friday that any security talks with Moscow would need to take into account the alliance’s concerns and involve Ukraine and other partners. The White House similarly said it’s discussing the proposals with US allies and partners, but noted that all countries have the right to determine their future without outside interference. The publication of the draft pacts comes amid soaring tensions over a Russian troop build-up near Ukraine that has drawn Ukrainian and Western fears of an invasion. Moscow denies plans to attack its neighbor.

Next Up, COVID Passport Implants?


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 20, 2021 | Sundance | 220 Comments

Just when you think the merge of medical science and technology couldn’t get more dangerous, a Swedish company called Epicenter steps forward to take electronic tracking to new heights of alarm.

You might think the concept of rice-sized microchip implants, for COVID vaccination passports, would be met with a resounding nope.   Unfortunately, it seems there are many who are willing to embrace the idea.  The Daily Mail has an article about the process {link}, which includes the following:

(Daily Mail) – […] Epicenter, a Stockholm-based startup, unveiled a new way of carrying around a COVID vaccine passport – in a microchip implanted under your skin. The implant can be read by any device using the near-field communication (NFC) protocol – technology used for contactless payments and keyless entry systems.

In a video shared by Epicenter, Hannes Sjöblad, chief distribution officer, has the chip in his arm and simply waves a smartphone over it to pull up his vaccination status. (read more)

From the perspective of personal liberty and privacy, there is no part of this that could possibly have a good long-term outcome.   The vaccine passport concept alone is a massive intrusion into privacy and freedom.  An implant to facilitate or streamline the process?  Heck no!

As we previously noted, the architects of the Build Back Better society (WEF) are guiding various governments on ways to create efficient registration and compliance systems, ie. ways that permit citizens to prove their vaccinated and compliant status.  However, as these discussions are taking place, perhaps it is prudent to pause and think very carefully.

Setting aside the issue of microchipping for a moment, right now, as you are reading this, under the guise of enhancing your safety, the U.S. Federal Government is in discussions with the medical community, multinational corporations and employers of citizens to create a more efficient process for you to register your vaccine compliance.

We know their conversation under the terminology of a COVID Passport.  The current goal is to make a system for us to show and prove our authorized work status, which, as you know, is based on your obedience to a mandated vaccine.

Beta tests are being conducted in various nations, each with different perspectives and constitutional limitations, based on pesky archaic rules and laws that govern freedom.

For the western, or for lack of a better word ‘democratic‘ outlook, Australia, New Zealand and Europe are leading the way with their technological system of vaccination check points and registered state/national vaccination status tied to your registration identification.

New York City has recently joined the vaccine checkpoint process, as their city requires the vaccine to enter all private businesses.

The Australian electronic checkpoints are essentially gateways where QR codes are being scanned from the cell phones of the compliant vaccinated citizen. Yes comrades, there’s an App for that.

Currently, the vaccine status scans are registered by happy compliance workers, greeters at the entry to the business or venue. Indeed, the WalMart greeter has a new gadget to scan your phone prior to allowing you custody of a shopping cart.

In restaurants, the host or hostess has a similar compliance scanner to check you in prior to seating or a reservation confirmation.

It’s simple and fun. You pull up your QR code on your cell phone (aka portable transponder and registration device), using the registration App, and your phone is scanned delivering a green check response to confirm your correct vaccination status and authorized entry.

The Australian government, at both a federal and state level, is working closely with Big Tech companies (thirsting for the national contract) to evaluate the best universal process that can be deployed nationwide.

As noted by all six Premiers in the states down under, hardware (scanners) and software (registration) systems are all being tested to find the most comprehensive/convenient portable units to settle upon. Meanwhile in the U.S., cities like Los Angeles and New York await the beta test conclusion before deploying their own version of the same process.

In Europe, they are also testing their vaccine checkpoint and registration processes known as the EU “Green Pass.”

The “Green Pass” is a similar technological system that gives a vaccinated and registered citizen access to all the venues and locations previously locked down while the COVID-19 virus was being mitigated. What would have been called a “vast right-wing conspiracy theory” 24 months ago, is now a COVID passport process well underway.

As with all things in our rapid technological era, you do not have to squint to see the horizon and accept that eventually this process will automate, and there will be a gadget or scanning gateway automatically granting you access without a person needing to stand there and scan each cell phone QR code individually.

The automated process just makes sense. You are well aware your cell phone already transmits an electronic beacon enabling your Uber or Lyft driver access to your location at the push of a touchscreen button, another convenient App on your phone. So, why wouldn’t the gateways just accept this same recognizable transmission as registration of your vaccine compliant arrival at the coffee shop?

The automated version is far easier and way cooler than having to reach into your pocket or purse and pulling up that pesky QR code on the screen. Smiles everyone, the partnership between Big Tech and Big Government is always there to make your transit more streamline and seamless. Heck, you won’t even notice the electronic receiver mounted at the entry. Give it a few weeks and you won’t remember the reason you were laughing at Alex Jones any more than you remember why you are taking off your shoes at the airport.

However, as this process is created, it is worth considering that you are being quietly changed from an individual person to a product. Some are starting to worry in the beta test:

[…] “you must become an object with attributes sitting in a database. Instead of roaming around anonymously making all sorts of transactions without the government’s knowledge, Australians find themselves passing through ‘gates’. …

All product-based systems have these gates to control the flow of stock and weed out errors. It is how computers see things. The more gates, the more clarity.

You are updating the government like a parcel pings Australia Post on its way to a customer. If a fault is found, automatic alerts are issued, and you are stopped from proceeding. In New South Wales, this comes in the form of a big red ‘X’ on the myGov vaccine passport app (if you managed to link your Medicare account without smashing the phone to bits).

Gate-keeping systems have been adapted from retail and transformed into human-based crowd solutions to micromanage millions of lives with the same ruthless efficiency as barcodes tracking stock. There is no nuance or humanity in this soulless digital age. Barcodes are binary. Good – bad. Citizen or dissident.

Even if you have all the required government attributes to pass through the gates – two vaccines, six boosters, and a lifelong subscription to Microsoft – something could go wrong. If your data fails the scan, you’ll slip into digital purgatory and become an error message. (read more)

It could be problematic if your status fails to register correctly, or if the system identifies some form of alternate lifestyle non-compliance that will block you from entry. Then again, that’s what beta tests are for, working out all these techno bugs and stuff. Not to worry…. move along….

Then again… “For those in the privileged class allowed to shop, take note of Covid signs which encourage cashless transactions under the guise of ‘health’. Messaging around cards being ‘safer’ will increase until the Treasury tries to remove cash entirely, almost certainly with public approval.”

Wait, now we are squinting at that familiar image on the horizon because we know those who control things have been talking about a cashless society for quite a while.

We also know that data is considered a major commodity all by itself. Why do you think every system you encounter in the modern era requires your phone number even when you are not registering for anything. It, meaning you, us, are all getting linked into this modern registration system that is defining our status. We also know that system operators buy and sell our registered status amid various retail and technology systems.

Yeah, that opaque shadow is getting a little clearer now.

Perhaps you attempt to purchase dog food and get denied entry into Pet Smart because you didn’t renew the car registration.  Or perhaps you are blocked from entry because you forgot to change the oil on the leased vehicle you drive, and Toyota has this weird agreement with some retail consortium.   You head to the oil change place that conveniently pops up in the citizen compliance App –it’s only two blocks away– they clear the alert after they do the oil change, and you are gateway compliant again.

Missed your booster shot? We’re sorry citizen, your bank account is frozen until your compliance is restored… please proceed to the nearest vaccination office as displayed conveniently on your cell phone screen to open access to all further gates (checkpoints)…. tap to continue!

Earlier today, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed the definition of “fully vaccinated” is an arbitrary determination by some opaque panel within the bureaucracy of the U.S. healthcare industry.  Being vaccinated is no longer being “fully vaccinated”, as the booster shots are soon to become part of the mandate.  WATCH:

It seems transparently obvious where this is heading:

Merry Christmas, Another Two House Democrats Decide Not to Run for Reelection, That Brings Total to 23


Posted originally on the conservative tree house December 20, 2021 | Sundance | 253 Comments

Representative Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA), the powerful chair of an Appropriations subcommittee overseeing immigration issues, becomes the 23rd House Democrat to announce she will not seek reelection in 2022.  Roybal-Allard was first elected to the House in 1993 and was going to have a redistricting battle.  Additionally:

Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.), a leader of the moderate Blue Dog Democrats, announced earlier Monday that she was retiring in 2022 to spend more time with her young children. Over the weekend, there were also reports Rep. Albio Sires (D-N.J.) plans to retire.

The southern border is a mess, and border state Latino Democrats are switching to the Republican Party. Inflation is skyrocketing and will likely continue getting worse through 2022 due to fiscal and monetary policy. Wage growth (3%) is nowhere near enough to keep up with food inflation (15%+).  Making things worse, gas prices have doubled in most areas and will continue to increase into 2022 due to Biden energy policy.

The Democrat regulatory environmental programs in coastal areas and ports are continuing to create massive supply chain issues.  Home heating costs this winter will be 60 to 70 percent higher due to Biden energy policy. The Joe Biden vaccination mandate is creating a workforce crisis and escalating backlash created by toxic federal overreach.

Several blue states (CA, NY, IL) are losing congressional seats due to population losses, while red states are gaining congressional districts due to population growth.  Insane spending by Democrats continues without pause or consideration for the inflation they are creating.  The great ideological cleaving between Democrat communists and middle-class Americans continues.

Polling indicates there is a major storm on the horizon for Democrats, as their ideological thirst for power is transparent {link} and being rejected. Every single policy the Biden administration touches creates a crap storm of anxiety for the ‘Main Street’ American worker.

The only group benefiting from JoeBama policies is the same group that funds them, Wall Street.  Making matters worse, the political communists behind the policy execution are brazen in showcasing how the destruction of the American economy is their intent.

Now the White House is promising “a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.”   Not exactly an optimistic message.

Even the New York Times has gone from panic to ‘shock’: “The numbers are even worse for Democrats in the eight states expected to have the closest Senate elections, according to Langer — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Not only is Biden’s overall job approval rating in those states 33 percent, 10 points lower than it is in the rest of the country, but registered voters in those eight states say they are more likely to vote for Republican House candidates than for Democrats by 23 points (at 58 percent to 35 percent).

This is the backdrop for an eleven-term Democrat Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA) to become the second Communist today to announce her retirement.  There are now 23 House Communists (ie Democrats) officially jumping ship and announcing they will not attempt re-election {link}.  There will likely be more before the primary races begin in 2022.

Additionally, Nancy Pelosi will never return to the minority leadership role.  No way, not after the groundwork Pelosi has established in the last two congressional sessions. The backlash against Pelosi and her manipulative rule changes *should* allow for an “anything goes” approach from MAGA-angry wolverine Republicans and Independents.  The 2022 overall campaign slogan should be: No Mercy, Ever!

As CTH has often said, Democrats must not be beaten – they must be destroyed.

Arguing with a political leftist in the hope they can be convinced to change direction is futile. They are disassociated on a mental and emotional level from any semblance of a capacity to consider they may be wrong. This is why you can never let up in the fight against them. Even in victory, the blue-collar working-class common-sense approach must be relentless. The modern left has to be destroyed on such a scale as their dangerous ideology is reduced to burning embers; however, do not trick yourself into believing it will ever be fully extinguished.

[…] You cannot comply your way out of tyranny any more than you can negotiate your way out of the gallows.   If you are considered the enemy of the modern leftist movement, they will seek your destruction.  The only way to fight this adversary is with brutal hand-to-hand combat where you never, ever, concede an inch.

For God’s sake, if you need a reference point, 27% of them are willing to put an untested vaccine into the arms of their children without hesitation to protect against an illness that is non-existent.  Do you really think it’s possible to rationally debate them?

Instead, we meet Obama’s “Yes we can,” or Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better,” with a much stronger and unapologetic “F**k Joe Biden“….

That’s how we defeat the insane communists!

Grind the Communists into pulp – make their lives miserable, and when the media asks why Republicans are being so rough, grind the Communists even harder.   Ridicule anyone who would stand up for them.  Cast the Communist Democrats into a fiery pit of irrelevance and keep pouring toxic lava upon them to keep them from climbing out.

Evidence of Inverted Fascism Surfaces Through FOIA Requests in The Netherlands


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 20, 2021 | Sundance | 259 Comments

A series of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) filings into the Dutch government has resulted in rather revealing letters showing the motive of the World Economic Forum, an assembly of multinational banks and corporations, summoning government leaders.

[SOURCE]

Notice how they are using the words “shaping policies for the post-COVID-19 era“?

The World Economic Forum, a collection of corporations, “shaping” government “policies.”

Why does this matter?  Well, fascism was traditionally defined as an authoritarian government working hand-in-glove with corporations to achieve objectives. A centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, using severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

That system of government didn’t work in the long-term, because the underlying principles of free people reject government authoritarianism.  Fascist governments collapsed, and the corporate beneficiaries were nulled and scorned for participating.  Then, along came a new approach to achieve the same objective.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) was created to use the same fundamental associations of government and corporations.  Only this time, it was the multinational corporations who organized to tell the government(s) what to do.  The WEF was organized for multinational corporations to assemble and tell the various governments how to cooperate with them, in order to be rewarded by them.   Corporatism was/is the outcome.  The government is now doing what the multinationals tell them to do, and in return the multinationals install the compliant politicians.

Fascism, the cooperation between government and corporations, is still the underlying premise; the World Economic Forum simply flipped the internal dynamic putting the corporations in charge of handing out the instructions.

What results is a slightly modified definition of fascism:

…A massive multinational corporate conglomerate; telling a centralized autocratic government leader what to do; and using severe economic and social regimentation as a control mechanism; combined with forcible suppression of opposition by both the corporations and government.

Doesn’t that define our current reality, especially in the era of COVID?

The instructions from the multinational corporations to government would be called the “Great Reset“, or as commonly transposed by the government officials receiving the instructions, “Build Back Better”.

Dear Leader Approval Rating Hits Historic Low, 66 Percent of Independents Disapprove of Joe Biden


Posted originally on the conservative tree house December 20, 2021 | Sundance | 166 Comments

A new NPR-Marist Poll [pdf HERE] reflects an even larger collapse of support for the current occupant of the White House.  Generally, most media polling is irrelevant due to the bias constructs, however, at least in this poll the methodology is transparent.

The top line is Biden’s approval rating at a new 41 percent low, with 55 percent of adults disapproving of the job dear leader is doing – 29 percent of those who identify as independent approve, and 66 percent of independents disapprove. [Poll Data]

The recent COVID Christmas messages from the White House are not likely to improve the situation.  However, that said, this lack of support for Dear Leader highlights the irrelevance of any pressure that national communists may wish to attempt against less ideological members within their own party.

Wishing “a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm,” is not exactly a message of endearment from the unstable people who currently control government.

{SOURCE}

Comrades, it does not appear that the White House is attempting to garner any support from the non-communists in the country.

The official government Christmas messaging appears to be several levels more divisive than calling people “deplorable”.

Igor Danchenko Now Represented by Hillary Clinton Lawyers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 20, 2021 | sundance | 186 Comments

This is weirdly revealing (Hat Tip Technofog).

In a court filing today by Special Counsel John Durham [pdf here] it’s noted that previously indicted Igor Danchenko, the primary sub-source for Christopher Steele’s fraudulent dossier against Donald Trump, is now represented by the same lawyers representing Hillary Clinton’s legal interests.  John Durham is asking the court to evaluate the legal conflicts:

(pdf Here)

Why would the legal firm representing Hillary Clinton (to the Durham probe) step-in to represent Igor Danchenko in his criminal indictment?

The only logical reason would be for Danchenko to represent a legal risk to the interests of Hillary Clinton, likely through the direct association between Hillary Clinton and Charles Dolan, Danchenko’s collaborator and the liaison to Chris Steele from the Clinton campaign.

As a result of the Durham indictment, we know Igor Danchenko was working closely with Democrat Party public relations executive Charles Dolan to funnel the fabricated source material to Chris Steele.  The Clinton team’s communication and contact with Charles Dolan would represent a legal risk to Hillary Clinton.

If Charles Dolan and Hillary Clinton were in communication, it seems like that would be the motive for Clinton’s lawyers to want to control Danchenko’s legal status and any statements to John Durham or the court.  More than likely, the people in/around Hillary Clinton are the ones paying the law firm to represent Igor Danchenko.

Boris Johnson Violating His Own Laws


Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN Re-Posted Dec 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The very fact that Boris Johnson is having parties when people are being thrown in prison for doing the same thing PROVES that this is simply tyranny and has nothing to do with health. If this disease was really that deadly, those in power would not be celebrating behind closed doors. Using a truck with a movie screen is brilliant. They can’t arrest anyone for walking around in protest of what the police themselves realize is an abuse of power and are complicit in the destruction of their own country.

This is a man not fit to lead Britain other than into the arms of tyranny orchestrated by the World Economic Forum.

Gov. Newsom Worsens the Supply Chain Crisis


Armstrong Economics Blog/North America Re-Posted Dec 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

California Governor Gavin Newsom is deliberately worsening the supply chain crisis by implementing additional power-grab COVID restrictions. Workers in California now must stay home and quarantine for two weeks if they are exposed to COVID. It does not matter if they are vaccinated. It does not matter if they are vaccinated AND test negative. Some workplaces will allow “exposed” employees to return to work earlier, but they must wear a mask and remain six feet away from their coworkers and customers to let the public know they are potentially one of the diseased.

Around 40% of the nation’s imports arrive at California ports. If one worker is exposed to someone who contracted coronavirus, entire businesses could shut down. Social distancing in a warehouse or shipping yard would be nearly impossible, and this law will affect the entire economy by diminishing the ability to import/export. Governor Newsom’s anti-business policies have earned his state the title of having the highest unemployment rate in the country at 7.3%. How many businesses will need to flee the state of California before people stop voting for Newsom?

The Catacomb Pact – Pope Francis & Schwab


Armstrong Economics Blog/Religion Re-Posted Dec 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: I found your comment on Pope Francis not being the “Peter the Roman” who is supposed to be the last Pope before the destruction of Rome. As you know, the text of Malachy came to light in 1595, in a book by Benedictine monk Arnold de Wyon. Malachy is said to have experienced a vision of future popes during a trip to Rome in 1139. He wrote down a series of 112 cryptic phrases that described each pope in turn. The text was said to have lain unnoticed in Rome’s archives until Wyon published it.

Pope John Paul II has been attributed to No. 110, “From the labor of the sun,” because he was born on the day of a solar eclipse and was entombed on the day of a solar eclipse as well. Then came Benedict XVI, No. 111, who is supposedly “glory of the olive” because some members of a branch of the monastic order founded by St. Benedict are known as Olivetans.

So that brings us to No. 112: “In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit … Peter the Roman, who will nourish the sheep in many tribulations; when they are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The end.” Can Socrates confirm or deny that Pope Francis will be the last Pope? Has it changed it mind given thsat Pope France is clearly in bed with Schwab and the WEF?

Curious

REPLY: I did not factor in prophecies into Socrates, for they are subjective and cannot be definitively used as scientific input. They fall into the category of BELIEF, which I cannot program. That said, many look at the forecasts of Socrates as being independent, and if they happen to line up with religious prophecies or even astrology, they are often used as interesting correlations by some. What is part of the economic cycle is that changes in religions indeed unfold with the model, for they are typically driven by the underlying economic conditions. For example, the persecution of the Christians took place BECAUSE Rome was collapsing and people blamed the Christians for making their gods angry by refusing to worship them.

Nevertheless, the Christians typically misrepresented other religions as paganism, whereas their view of their gods was never the same. They did not see them as their “creator” of the world or humans but more as mischievous super-beings who would torment humankind. For example, you would bring a gift and pray to Poseidon because you were about to sail someplace, and you were asking him for safe passage. He was never seen as anything more than being in charge of the ocean. So you brought him gifts hoping for calm seas.

The closest thing to the idea of one god was Sol Invictus which was a cult promoted from the East by Emperor Aurelian (270-275 AD) because this was when Rome was under siege by the barbarians. It was Aurelian who built the wall around Rome, which still stands today.

The name “Invictus” meant invincible, and it was his feast day, December 25, which eventually became the Christian Christmas. The promotion of Sol was the sun god, and he was invincible because he returned to the sky every day. This was intended to inspire hope and confidence that Rome would survive. Even the statue of Liberty has the same sun rays protruding from her head as was the case of picturing Sol.

Hence, changes in religion have always been linked to economics. There was this cult of Sol combined with Hercules, who was the son of Zeus and defender of humanity against evil. These concepts allowed many to convert to Christianity since it was not so radically different.

In this respect, religion has changed over time with the turning points in the model. Interestingly enough, most religions seem to have this idea of a battle between good and evil, which predates everything back to the Zoroasters, who were the three wise men to visit Jesus at birth. This is really why the visit of the three wise men was so significant, for it was an endorsement from antiquity. Yet most religions also had this idea of the last judgment and some even resurrection like the Egyptians. Among the Greeks, when you died, Zeus did not judge you, but he made a recommendation to the Three Fates who delivered the last judgment, and this is also why a panel in a court of appeals also has three judges.

There has been this common theme with variations throughout most religions. What is clear is that when the economy turns down hard and the end seems inevitable, you find major upheavals in religion throughout history, right down to the schism in both Christianity as well as Islam. To whatever extent our model may align with religion or even astrology, rest assured that neither are input into Socrates to make forecasts. Many have seen correlations, but I believe the driving force is always economic.

What we must understand is that Pope Francis is a Communist at heart. He was influenced by Archbishop Hélder Pessoa Câmara (1909–1999) of the Brazilian Catholic Church, who was a self-proclaimed Marxist. He was the Archbishop of Olinda and Recife between 1964 to 1985. He is not to be confused with Cardinal Jaime de Barros Câmara (1894–1971), who was elevated to the cardinalate in 1946 by Pope Pius XII. From 1962 to 1965, it was Cardinal Câmara attended the Second Vatican Council who was anti-communist and assisted Leo Joseph Suenens in delivering one of the closing messages of the Council delivered on December 8, 1965.

Archbishop Câmara disagreed with the church’s conclusion. He attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council and even played a very important role in drafting Gaudium et Spes. However, on November 16, 1965, Archbishop Câmara led 40 bishops who met at night secretly in the Catacombs of Domitilla outside Rome on the Via Appia Antica, which are spread over 17 kilometers underground. They signed a secret document under the title of the Pact of the Catacombs with 13 points that were inspired by Karl Marx. This small group of Marxist priests meeting in secret has been the beginning of an existential threat to our very future. Because South America has been unable to rise above Marxism, it has been part of the Catholic Church in that region to adopt the doctrine of the Pact of the Catacombs despite the fact it was never sanctioned by the Vatican until Pope Francis, who has practiced this distorted doctrine his whole life, for it focuses on material wealth rather than on the spiritual concerns for the soul.  Section #10 of that Catacomb Pact reads:

“We will do our utmost so that those responsible for our government and for our public services make, and put into practice, laws, structures and social institutions required by justice and charity, equality and harmonic and holistic development of all men and women, and by this means bring about the advent of another social order, worthy of the sons and daughters of mankind and of God.”
Paragraph 10 of the Catacombs Pact

The reason this obscure meeting was so important is that it was, according to Klaus Schwab, this doctrine that changed his life as he says in this next clip.

(Full Interview)

Indeed, Archbishop Câmara spoke at Davos in 1974. From that time onward, Schwab has been trying to influence world leaders and convince them it is time to adopt Marxism. Note, when Archbishop Câmara addressed the Davos meeting of capitalists, there was a time of economic crisis as well. This was the first major recession which exposed that the idea of Keynesianism proved incorrect. It was Paul Volcker who delivered his famous Rediscovery of the Business Cycle in 1979 stating.

“The Rediscovery of the Business Cycle – is a sign of the times. Not much more than a decade ago, in what now seems a more innocent age, the ‘New Economics’ had become orthodoxy. Its basic tenet, repeated in similar words in speech after speech, in article after article, was described by one of its leaders as ‘the conviction that business cycles were not inevitable, that government policy could and should keep the economy close to a path of steady real growth at a constant target rate of unemployment.”

Câmara, who was apparently the most influential person in Schwab’s life, was an advocate of liberation theology, which is a theory that emphasizing the liberation of the oppressed must be the objective. The foundation is Marxism engaging socio-economic analyses, rather than theology, pushing economic materialism rather than spiritual objectives. It argues for the social concern for the poor and political liberation for oppressed peoples whereby its core is “inequality” materially claimed to be driven by race or caste rather than ability. Câmara admittedly is famous for saying: “When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist.”

I do not see Pope Francis making it to 2032. I am not sure if Pope Francis is “Peter the Roman.” Still, there is a serious risk that he may bring the Catholic Church to a major tribulation, as they say, because he is really abandoning religion and advocating communism. Interestingly, Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis on March 13, 2013, when he was named the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church. He did not take the name of Peter, and he is not from Italy. His papal title was taken after St. Francis of Assisi of Italy. Becoming Pope on March 13, 2013, was spot on for a 51.6 years wave, beginning with the signing of that secret Pact of the Catacombs.

Therefore, if I look at this from a purely mathematical perspective, 266 divided by 8.6 is 30.9. Consequently, my concern would be for the next pope which would be a derivative of pi. Since the model projects that Schwab will fail, for Marxism is against human nature and even the Ten Commandments, it would not surprise me if there is an upheaval in the church and that the next Pope will be a reaction to the material doctrines of Pope Francis who is fully cooperating with Schwab. I do not see how Pope Francis’ support for the Pact of the Catacombs does not violate everything the church has stood for through the past 265 popes. Ironically, there were 148 emperors/caesars until the fall of Rome, which was 17.2 x 8.6.

Schwab also says in this clip that he was the first to develop stakeholder economics. That is simply not true. That was an idea that surfaced during the Great Depression, which became obsolete when Roosevelt came to office with the New Deal. This idea was that corporations had a duty to society during a period when there were NO social programs whatsoever. From what I can tell, both stakeholder economics and this Great Reset, where you will own nothing and be happy, come from the Pact of the Catacombs. Indeed, Schwab invited Pope Francis to speak at Davos in January 2014, just after he was made pope, displaying he knew they shared the same economic philosophy. The pope talks more about the economy and “inequality” than he does about salvation.

Manchin Votes No on Build Back Better


Armstrong Economics Blog/Great Reset Re-Posted Dec 19, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Sen. Joe Manchin has announced that he won’t support President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better package. The West Virginia Democrat, who has tried negotiating with the White House on the massive social spending bill, has said that he is a no vote on the legislation.

“I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t. I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there,” Manchin said. “This is a no.”

The Build Back Better Act is far more than the president’s signature domestic policy bill or the wish-list of the AOC progressives/communists. While his bill narrowly passed the House last month over the unanimous opposition of Republicans, this near $2 trillion spending spree which is totally uncalled for as some stimulus plan for the economy, includes a number of progressive priorities, such as free preschool, major climate change initiatives and extending the child tax credit. But with that money for free preschool comes federal strings attached as to the theories that will be taught to children too young to understand they are being brainwashed which was precisely the objective of Communism behind the Berlin Wall.

The amount of spending with the combined Infrastructure Bill and this Build Back Better agenda which is fashioned by the World Economic Forum to further Marxism which may yet be called Schwabism is so irresponsible when the economy is NOT in a Great Depression. Not even John Maynard Keynes ever advocated such a spending spree when the economy was not in a Depression. It has been this type of fiscal mismanagement that is bringing down Western Civilization for the AOC progressives hate anyone who creates jobs and thinks the government is the source of all radiance – not the private sector nor the sun as the source of any global warming.

This Build Back Better agenda was floated at Davos in January 2019. It was an agenda sold to world leaders because of the sovereign debt crisis and this spending spree is in preparation of simply defaulting on all government debt. They have the perfect president who is clueless that he is the knife being used to assist the United States to commit suicide with its own Constitution.

Part of this agenda that is being pitched by Schwab that you will own nothing and be happy is a clever ploy to make you think they are wiping out all debt and this is really for you. This agenda is driven by the fact that governments can no longer continue to borrow year after year with no intention of ever repaying. The entire Keynesian Model is collapsing before our eyes.

Thank God for Joe Manchin for he is the only Democrat rejecting this directive coming from Klaus Schwab. The Democrats look at the progressive promises and think that this will buy their votes for 2022. But then what? Do they then create Build Back Better 2.0 for 2024 and increase the spending by $5 trillion? These politicians cannot look past the immediate moment and the personal self-interest. What are they doing to the nation and the future? To hell with the nation!

What about the agenda of indoctrination attached to preschool? Even the Critical Race Theory teaching that white are inherently racists is undermining civilization which is the result of everyone coming together for their mutual benefit. Dividing society by race and religion is to ensure the people will never ban together against the government. This is how tyranny flourishes. They know how to do it for the only history they refer to is how to suppress the people for their own self-interest.

There is nothing they do not twist around for personal agendas. Slavery in the United States began with whites from England being sentenced to indentured servitude for even shoplifting an apple. The Constitution expressly forbids indentured servitude. The English Crown sold you to the highest bidder. Law became profitable to punish people they could then sell for labor to Plantations in America. Ben  Franklin objected and said how you England like it if they bagged all the rattlesnakes and shipped them to England? Only when the American Revolution began did England then send their criminal to Australia. Many people who also wanted to get a new life, intentionally committed a minor offense to get free passage to the New World.

The abuse of this WOKE movement is the lack of any historical research. They simply said Jefferson owned slaves to justify removing his statue. But he inherited the slaves and he was the one against slavery and created the political storm by inserting in the Declaration of Independence that “all” men were created equal. They fail to understand that one could not just free his slaves at that point in time for there was no employment or a local Starbucks and they would own no property to even grow their own food. Jefferson was the inspiration behind the whole anti-Slavery movement. When in 1861 Russia abolished serfdom, the people owned nothing. That is what led to the Russian Revolution which first began in 1905.

Thomas Jefferson’s words:  “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Jefferson’s views on black Americans and slavery were very clear that he undoubtedly hated slavery and believed that the self-evident truths he had set forth in 1776 ought eventually to doom the institution in the United States.

The majority of states, including New York, were slave states. It was NOT a North v South issue at that time. But the slavery had begun as indentured servitude. To now fault Jefferson simply because he owned slaves in a system that was slave-based to diminish the shortage of labor in a new world, is to ignore the history and a man who was bucking the establishment of his time. Tearing down his statue because of slavery or that of Christopher Columbus who did not create slavery 300 years later only shows the ignorance behind this agenda. Columbus believed he landed in India.

It was Amerigo Vespucci (1451-1512) who America is named after for he is the one who figured out it was a new continent. Yet they tear down statues of Columbus and the day named in his honor October 12, 1492, Biden declared Oct. 11 as Indigenous Peoples’ Day when no Indigenous people were made slaves. European settlers invaded their lands. So to rectify that, all whites should just be deported to where their families came from?

Also ignored was the legal justification for slavery that not merely extended into ancient times, but also explains why the Dutch imported black slaves from Africa when there was an ample supply of Indians in America who could have been less expensive to turn into slaves. A slave was legal as the spoils of war. Rome sold all the inhabitants of Carthage into slavery finally to end their Punic wars with Carthage. The “Slavic” ethnicity of the Balkans means “slave” for they were often the source for slaves from war. Since the American Indians were not the spoils of war, it was legally and religiously forbidden to take them as slaves.

The Dutch were buying the Africans from other Africans who told the Dutch they were the spoils of war to satisfy the legal and religious distinction for a slave. Thus, the Africans were imported as slaves to replace the white trade in criminal labor from England.

In Ancient Times, Africans trained elephants and participated in battles as mercenaries. They would ride the elephants they trained during the Punic Wars. They were not slaves for they were not the spoils of war.

The problem with Critical Race Theory is simply that it ignores history and implies that it is white against all people of color without ever explaining what the American Indians were excluded from slavery. This has set off a serious crisis where they have sought to even teach Critical Race Theory in Britain where the same issues of slavery did not exist. The Critical Race Theory has even emerged on the floor of Parliament.

This entire agenda of Critical Race Theory is dividing the country, which is precisely opposite of what is needed to reduce civil unrest. This is all about retribution for previous generations when history is even distorted. It certainly appears that this is intended to divide the people to prevent a unified uprising against the government as it moves down this path of the Great Reset and Sovereign Debt Default.

Senator Manchin is the ONLY Democrat willing to defend his country against this foreign invasion to transform the world into the dream of Klaus Schwab, who is very much a control freak the very same type of character as Bill Gates.
