The Destruction of the United States Projected by our Computer


Posted originally on Oct 6, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

I have often been asked why the media never runs a story on our computer, the ONLY Artificial Intelligence computer with a real track record of over 40 years that has called every major shift in the world economy and correctly forecasted wars to the point of even targeting Ukraine years in advance. All I can do is warn that our computer has mapped it all out and has never been wrong in the major global trends. You would think the media would be knocking on the door. But they are bought and paid for and are not interested in actually helping society or steering a middle ground.

Those in the media refuse to talk about Socrates at all because it goes against their agenda. I screamed as loud as I could. I have tried to warn those in power of the consequences ahead, but they just ignore these warnings. I have done my best to defeat my own computer to no avail. I have to just accept the future and prepare for what is to come. I have no choice.

Neocon 1

The American Neocons always want war, and they have seized control of the Democratic Party, which is why you have the Republican Neocons coming out for Kamala, including Dick Cheney. I am not being partisan here. The West will lose this war, and the financial capital of the world will move once again, just as WWI took it from Britain and handed it to New York. This WWIII will take it from New York and hand it to Beijing. The United States will break up into regions because the media has sown such political hatred between the LEFT and the RIGHT that there is no “unity” to maintain the United States as a confederation.

Biden has admitted to consulting with Israel about attacking the nuclear facility in Iran. It appears that doing so may set off a far greater catastrophe than most expect, which will most certainly compel Russia and China to respond.

Unprecedented_Launch_of_Republicans_for_Harris_causes_commotion_and_62_more

If there was ever a confirmation for war, there it is. Dick Cheney endorses Kamala. These people always want war, yet they have lost EVERY single one since World War II. Nobody in Washington will stop them because too many people line their pockets with money. These Neocons should be dragged out of Washington and put on trial for their usurpation of our government.The Neocon Republicans have no problem sending Americans to their death for their personal hatreds and vendettas. The fact that they are coming out and claiming to be Republicans for Harris confirms this election is really all about World War III. Former US Rep. Adam Kinzinger announced via X, writing“There is nothing ‘conservative’ about Donald Trump. Conservatives believe in the Constitution, not a ‘man’s’ ego. Endorsing American democracy and the future today and leaving the past in the dust. I’m endorsing @KamalaHarris.”

NATO_Defeat Russia_in_3_Days Adam Kinzinger

It was Adam Kinzinger who was thrown out of the House by voters because he is a vile Neocon who belongs in prison under the hate crimes laws. This is the guy who claimed that we can destroy Russia and conquer that country in just 3 days. As long as the West continues to allow the Neocons to control this war, then there will be no stopping World War III. These people have spent their entire lives hating Russians for particularly personal reasons.

VideThese Neocons have waged endless wars since Vietnam. They had lied to the American public to justify their wars as Robert McNamara sought to clear his conscience before he died and said, “WE WERE WRONG” about Vietnam, that the Russians were not involved, and it was just a civil war. The cost of this War on Terror Brown University has conducted a study and placed it at $8 trillion, again with no victory. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and nobody was ever held accountable.

MA War Cycle 2011 WEC

I stood up at our 2011 World Economic Conference in Philadelphia and warned that our war cycle was turning up in 2014. In 2013, I even posted on the blog that the computer had targeted Ukraine as where it would begin. The Neocons have directed Zelensky to invade Russia, diverting troops from defending his own country to destroying Russia so NATO will invade a weakened Russia. Zelensky’s Victory Plan is using long-range missiles to destroy Russia, claiming he will force them to negotiate. Putin has just announced that there will not be any peace negotiations after Zelensky says he will destroy Russia until they are forced to yield to peace.

Zelenskyy Johnson

They had a peace deal ready to be signed, and the Neocons sent Boris Johnson to rush to Ukraine to stop Zelensky from signing any peace deal. They think we are stupid and will never connect the dots. This has NEVER been about anything but the destruction of Russia.

Eisenhower Dwight Ike 1890–1969

President Eisenhower warned that we should be mindful of the Military Industrial Complex. Everything he warned about has unfolded. Because they own Congress, we do not stand a chance of avoiding war. Eisenjower’s speech was never listened to by anyone. He warned what was unfolding, and the money was far too great in the Washington lobby circuit ever to stop this ultimate destruction of our nation. Over two-thirds of our national debt is all due to wars created by the Neocons. We are still paying interest on World War II debt.

Listen carefully to Eisenhower’s words. He saw the outcome and was trying to warn us, but the money blinds the vision of our Constitution.

World War III

Our computer is on track for projecting World War III in 2025. The Neocons are doing everything possible to stop Trump and RFK, who are anti-war. All the lawsuits against Trump. The attempt to keep him off the ballots and the 14th Amendment farse, the staged January 6th riot to block any challenge to state votes, and they prevented RFK from even being on the Democratic ticket. The Democrats opened the border to flood the country just to retain power. The Biden DOJ is suing states for removing illegal aliens from voting.  This 2024 election WILL BE THE LAST. Nobody will accept this outcome, and it certainly seems to be rigged from the outset. I cannot vote in EU election, but illegals can vote in America?

Biden was never going to be the candidate. The debate was to show the world he was incompetent. CNN was in on the scam for there has NEVER been a presidential debate BEFORE the people were nominated by their parties. For the first time in history, you now have Kamala Harris, who the people have never elected for anything. She is another Biden and will sign whatever the Neocons put in front of her. Kamala is the Neocon’s choice.

Prosecutors_request_indefinite_delay_in_trial_for_Trump_assassination_attempt_su

We have seen two attempted assassinations of Trump. The second attempted assassin has survived, and the Fed will not allow Florida to investigate anything, and now the DOJ of the Biden Administration has asked for an INDEFINITE trial date. This guy will NEVER be allowed to have a trial for anything that may lead back to the government and can never be allowed to see the light of day – i.e., JFK’s assassination has still not been released in over 60 years.

Propaganda Fake News

The media, like MSNBC, has sold our country down the tubes with CNN. These people lack any understanding that what they are doing is destroying our country. They have sowed so much hatred and polarized the country, dividing the population that there is nothing that will be salvageable. They have crossed the red line.

Funding 2024

Just look at the funding between Trump and Kamal. Google searches bias always in favor of Kamala. These people are deliberately interfering in the election, knowing that the Democrat-controlled Department of Just US will never prosecute them.

This is Google’s election interference. It should be criminal for the head of any company to use corporate funds to further their personal political agenda. That is no different than having the company pay for all your expenses and not declaring that as personal income.

In this candid undercover video, they regard their viewers as stupid. There is nothing left of America. Unfortunately, the computer will be correct—there is no viable solution to retaining the United States intact. The media has poisoned the population, creating such hatred between both sides that there is no resolution because there can be no compromise.

In the latest undercover video, Basel Hamdan, a writer and producer for MSNBC’s show Ayman, not only admitted that MSNBC is the mouthpiece of the Democrats but that they have brainwashed their viewers. He said: “They’ve made their viewers dumber over the years,” and explained that MSNBC is “too cozy with Democratic politicians.

Stammer clsoing Pubs could_be_forced_to_shut_early_in_new_Labour_nanny_state_blow

The LEFT always portrays themselves as the victims of the RIGHT and only the total destruction of the RIGHT will ever improve their lives. In Britain, as soon as the LEFT seized power, not only did they imprison anyone who criticized them, but they also launched their typical agenda to attack the culture. They are never willing to run the country for the benefit of the whole. It is always just about them. That is why all the worst revolutions in history from 1905 and 1917 in Russia, Mao in China, the 1848 Communist Revolution in Europe, and even the 1918 German Communist Revolution always seek to overthrow the RIGHT and force their agenda upon everyone. This is why we also see the constant rise and fall of civilizations. We will never be able to establish world peace for extended periods of time.

Supreme Court BW

Then, the Democrats did not like the law, so they wanted to change the Supreme Court just as FDR wanted to stack the court to rule in favor of Marxism. They disagreed with immunity for Trump when prosecutors have even more immunity than what the Supreme Court decided for official acts by a president. They wanted to hang Trump like Saddam Hussein, and they wanted 20 years in prison for anyone at the January 6th protest, calling it an unarmed Insurrection.  Joe Biden proposed term limits for the justices and a constitutional amendment on immunity.

FDR Stacking the Court

The LEFT always wants to change the Supreme Court because they fundamentally disagree with the EQUAL PROTECTION of the law. You are to go to prison for discrimination against even gays or transgenders, but discrimination based entirely upon material wealth is OK because they want to confiscate what anyone has that is more than what they have.

Marx ten commandments socialism

The LEFT is anti-religion on every level. They have rejected the very existence of any God, just as Marx did. This is a sad testament to our society and why it cannot survive intact. Even Zelensky has outlawed not only speaking Russian, but he has outlawed their Orthodox Christianity while he now claims to be a Jew but has his children baptized and never mentioned he was Jewish before being President.

Rescue_the_Republic

The biggest problem we have is that events such as the Rescue the Republic ensures the destruction of the United States because these people think that there is even a possibility to resuing the republic. The polarization is so great, and the media is so compromised that there is no possible way that the United States can survive as a “united” government. As communism fell, it is our time for the collapse of these same Marxist ideas that have undermined our very foundation of freedom.

WEC 2016 Orlando

We will deal with the markets and what the computer is projecting for war in 2025, along with these and many other issues at the WEC in Orlando.

It is also time to consider where to move to survive this absolute, sheer stupidity and chaos.

Ukraine Ordered by US Neocons to Provoke WWIII Before Election

2024_09_10_18_30_59_9_Russian_Regions_Including_Moscow_Come_Under_Ukrainian_Drone_Attack_Official

We have a MAJOR problem with Ukraine. This is NOT about defending their territory or fake democracy when Zelensky has suspended any election to maintain his dictatorship as long as there is a raging war. Ukraine has invaded Russia, and last night, Zelensky launched scores of attack drones, even targeting Moscow. If China invaded the US and landed in California and was 500 miles into the state and was launching missiles then at Washington, DC, would we do nothing?

2023_02_21_Putin_Speech 2

Putin is the ONLY adult among world leaders who fully understands the ramifications of what NATO and the American Neocons are doing – trying to provoke a response where Putin attacks anything in NATO so they can pretend he is the aggressor to launch World War III. This was staged to influence the debate tonight on ABC, a Neocon mouthpiece. Trump and RFK are anti-war, and we may see Kamala or ABC use questions to resurrect that Trump is a Putin Puppet because he is against World War III, as is RFK. If they use this attack tonight, you know this was a set-up. The Democrats are flooding the emails with requests for endless donations.

Nuke or Coup

Can you imagine China invading California and Washington doing nothing? There would be a call to impeach the president immediately. This is my concern. Despite all the propaganda by the Western press that is choreographed by the Neocons, with many quoting as their source, the ISW (Institute for the Study of War), which the Neocon Victoria Nuland’s sister-in-law runs, Putin is NOT a warmonger. If he is overthrown, trust me, it will be by someone far less restrained.

Embargo on Japan 2 15 20
Hawaii Tribune

Today, the Neocons follow the same playbook used by FDR. Congress would not issue a Declaration of War to enter WWII in Europe. FDR did whatever he could to force the Japanese to attack, which was the justification for entering World War II. We are following the same playbook. Because it came out that the US had already broken the Japanese code, they knew about the coming attack. There was a Senate Investigation into this manipulation of Congress.   There was even a leak to the press that the Japanese might attack Pearl Harbor on November 30th, before the attack of December 7th, 1941.

NATO_Defeat Russia_in_3_Days Adam Kinzinger


I fear that unless Putin uses a tactical nuclear weapon inside Russia to eradicate the invading Ukrainian force, we may see a coup where he is overthrown. The ONLY way to wake up the West is to demonstrate that he will use a nuke for NATO, and the American Neocons say he is bluffing. That is the only way to get the West to question our leaders.

These Neocons and NATO say that Russia is weak to support the idea that Ukraine has invaded Russia, and they are weak so that NATO can take Russia in just three days. This is why Adam Kinzinger and Cheney’s daughter are pushing Republicans for Kamala because she is the stooge of the Neocons, just like Biden. These people cannot sleep at night if there is world peace. They are the warmongers, and it is like I punch you in the face and call it self-defense because I know you want to hit me first.

Russia’s version of Neocons would respond if they overthrow Putin, for they also want World War III. Every country has its LEFT and RIGHT. The same is true in China. If these Neocons seize power worldwide in all three superpowers, we are in for a very bad time. Then, the nukes will be flying.

Zelensky in F16

Zelensky is an actor. He has destroyed Ukraine and boasts that he will get trillions to rebuild Ukraine and line his pockets. Of course, our computer warns that Ukraine will not exist as a nation after 2027. He hates Russians and wants to destroy the country completely. The mister in Estonia has come out and had the audacity to say that Russia is too big and should be carved up, and the West will rape the assets of Russia, which was the goal of Napoleon and Hitler.

JFK on War

There has never been a war that has EVER ended as expected. I believe it has been declassified that the plan to invade Iraq was assumed they would conclude in a few weeks and then move to invade Iran. They never were able to subdue Iraq as quickly as they predicted. This nonsense that Russia is weak will be the downfall of the West. They took JFK out because he, too, was anti-war.

assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria

Our computer has been targeting the week of September 9th for months. It was the strongest target for the month in Russia. When you look at Ukraine, we enter a Panic Cycle next week, and a two-week trend unfolds. Europe and the US appear to get more serious at the end of the month. Don’t forget: It was the assassination of the heir to the throne there in Sareavo that launched World War I.

Neocons for Harris – Bring on World War III


Posted originally on Sep 6, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

2hr Study nuclear weapons

QUESTION: Have you seen this latest claim that the US could take out all the nuclear launch pads of China and Russia in just 2 hours? This seems to be another Neocon boast of supporting World War III like we can defeat Russia in three days. What is it with these people? They are playing with the entire planet’s lives and never think they might be wrong.

Jeff

NATO_Defeat Russia_in_3_Days Adam Kinzinger

ANSWER: First of all, studies like this only promote that Russia and China should be deeply concerned about what they see as American Imperialism thanks to these nut-jobs. They do not consider that warfare has changed since World War II. If China moves to take Taiwan, a military clash will erupt of unprecedented threat, and the US does not appear to win so easily. During World War II, we won the battles in Asia due to the use of the U.S. Navy’s carriers. Back then, they were invulnerable floating fortresses. Missiles back then were land-based, so as long as they stayed out of range, they were invincible.

Unprecedented_Launch_of_Republicans_for_Harris_causes_commotion_and_62_more

You can tell Harris will take us into World War III because the Neocons are backing her, claiming Republicans for Harris. They will switch sides routinely because all they want is war. The mere fact they are doing this proves my point.

Today, China has developed anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities. They can take out a carrier with no problem. Carriers are vulnerable, and the traditional roles they once played in winning wars are like fighting an army with guns while you have bow and arrows. They are no longer capable of protecting landing forces as in the old days. I have been told that in war game simulations, the US would lose two carriers at the beginning of hostilities. China can take them out without a problem using these A2/AD systems.

These Neocons boost their capabilities without realizing that China and Russia will not wait for 2 hrs to eliminate their nuclear weapons. With the first launch, they will know just as the systems in Israel can detect a launch as it leaves the pad.

Consumed by Hate

I do not know what to say. These people are consumed by their hatred, and they really need to be imprisoned as a threat to human society – not just our nation.

The NATO Invasion of Russia

British Tanks Used To Invade Russia

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, you are truly a voice in the wilderness. Many claim to understand what is unfolding but lack the experience. They are like an academic pretending to be a market forecaster who has never traded. We all know what that’s like. You said there was no way the West did not know about this invasion into Russia when even the press here reported that the UK provided the tanks for the invasion. I fear you are right. They are trying to force Putin to attack a NATO country to rig the election for Kamala.

WHB

Zelensky Did not warn people Washington Post 8 19 22

REPLY: Let’s get real. Even the Washington Post realized that Zelensky knew in advance when Putin would invade. He said he did not warn his people because it would have cost him $7 billion. Russia knew they were coming; Putin was neither surprised nor a fool. Even if you read Sun Tzu (544–496BC) The Art of War, he states: “Do not pursue an enemy who simulates flight.” Traditionally, this advice cautions you not to pursue an enemy that unexpectedly runs away or shows a weaker force. In this case, Putin is most likely using the inexperience and plain arrogance of Zelensky, who has commanded this army to invade Russia. Zelensky’s arrogance will not let him retreat, for that would be a loss of face, and that might mean the West stops pouring billions into his pockets. Thus, let them enter Russia, for only when any nation is invaded will the people rise up. They will not for an ancillary war as was the case with Vietnam, Iraq, etc, etc, etc.

This invasion will boost Putin – not reduce him. Zelensky has pulled his most experienced troop from the Donbas to pull off this media stunt. Even the ancient historian Herodotus reported that the Spartans used the feigned-retreat tactic at the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC) to defeat a force of Persian Immortals. This is a tactic that is as old as war. The Carthaginians used that against the Romans at the Battle of Agrigentum, in Sicily (262 BC) during the First Punic War. The Carthaginian general Hanno came to the rescue of Carthaginians and instructed his famous Numidian cavalry to attack the Roman cavalry and then feign retreat. The Romans pursued the Numidians as they retreated and were brought into the hands of the main Carthaginian army. Eventually, the Romans defeated the Carthaginians and forced their retreat.

I do not like to comment on military strategy for fear of giving ideas to either side, but this is clear as day. This will not end well for Ukraine. They have a high-heel-dancing moron for their chief military strategist.

Economist Russia takes Europe

This shows that NATO has honestly invaded Russia. They are praying that Putin acks irrationally so they can pretend he started this war. They need to have NATO attacked to also try to get the Europeans to believe the propaganda the media has been publishing that Russia will conquer all of Europe.

If Ukraine loses – We Get World Peace!

Kennedy & Eisenhower on the Military Complex


Posted originally on Sep 2, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Eisenhower Warned us:

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the 1mgc industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”

Zelensky Invasion of Russia on Instructions of NATO & Neocons?


Posted originally on Sep 1, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, you have studied tactical warfare over the centuries. I was first introduced to you at Citadel in the eighties when they discussed your work and the Economic Confidence Model. Since that was a military college, they would never have introduced me to your work if you did not understand military tactics. I know you regard that as an opinion, but perhaps now is the time to speak up since you are qualified in this field. There is a question arising over Ukraine’s invasion of Russia, and most seem to say this has taken Zelensky’s allies by surprise. I do not see that as being possible. Is Russia as weak as some are saying? Or is this a brilliant trap? I would love to hear about your military tactics and know who you studied.

WH

Socrates in battle

Socrates rescues Alcibiades at the battle of Potidaea

ANSWER: Of course. It was the Citadel that asked permission to use the ECM and compared me to Hegel. That was the first time I was discussed in a philosophy class. Yes, I have studied war. I remember Socrates questioned a general, asking if he would ever retreat. He said no. Then Socrates asked if it was true that a great battle was won in which an enemy was drawn in with a fake retreat. I find it astonishingly stupid for Zelensky to make this move to invade Russia. I question if it was truly his decision alone. If any military commander criticized him, I’m sure he was relieved of duty. Zelensky is just what you want leading the troops—a comedian who dodged the draft several times himself. Zelensky is a war criminal. He has no business being the head of a country, no less a war. This is such a stupid move; he had to have been told to do this by the Neocons.

Ukraibe Invades Russia

Zelensky is putting on a show that he thought would raise more money. But he was also probably told to do so by the American Neocons, who need war before the election. Yet he is an idiot since Russia advances toward the Donetsk city of Pokrovsk, making significant tactical advances that this moron fails to understand. While Zelensky is putting on a show by invading Russia, he can find himself with supply lines cut off and his troops encircled. He will not retreat because that would now upset his cash flow after making a major move to beat his chest. Zelensky fears that Trump might win and is trying to demonstrate that he can defeat Russia. He also thinks he can strike a peace deal if he retreats from Russia and Putin withdraws from the Donbas and Crimea. What an idiot!!!!!! He is such a fool with zero understanding of tactical warfare.

Goring Herman on War

If this high-heel dancing draft-dodger ever went to school, he probably skipped history class. Russia was invaded by Hitler’s Nazi Operation Barbarossa in 1941. There was a Battle of Kursk in 1943. As Goring testified at Nuremberg,

“All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peachmakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

Invading Russia and killing Russian civilians will enrage all of Russia, and Zelensky has brought the war home to all of Russia. Zelensky has made the most brain-dead decision, and his total lack of understanding of war is self-evident.

Pearl HarborDec 7 1941

FDR could not get Congress to enter World War II until Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7th, 1941. Once America was attacked, that resulted in America entering the war. This is the stupidity of Zelensky, and his show of force was most likely instructed by the American Neocons, who were desperate to create World War III before Trump took office. They have to understand military tactics. This is the oldest lesson from ancient times. An ancillary war does not get all of society to rise up. Attack any society, and then you will have the entire population rising up.

Russian Tactical Nuclear Weapon

All the troops Zelensky sent into Russia can be surrounded, and Putin is now free to use any means necessary, including tactical nuclear weapons. He needs to deploy tactical nukes on his own territory to make a show to Europe that this is what NATO is risking with its antics. The only possible strategy would be to use a tactical nuclear weapon (small detonation) option on Russian territory. This will get all the Russians to rise up and realize that this invasion is truly orchestrated by the United States, Neocons, and NATO with the purpose of destroying Russia. This is the ONLY hope that the West will rise up against NATO and the Neocons and stop this war. I do not believe anything else will solve the problem.

The Neocons and NATO are desperately trying to get Putin to attack any NATO country or to use a nuke in Ukraine. They can then claim that Putin has attacked the West like Pearl Harbor to justify World War III. These people do not believe in anything other than their own hatred. Perhaps they are going to church to light candles praying for war, like in some scenes from The Godfather.

This is the Neocons Desperate to Create WWIII Before the Elections

Britain’s Perspective on World War III


Posted orginally on Jul 25, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

british_pounds_falling_800_clr_5176

Britain believes the next world war against an “axis of upheaval” will begin within three years. General Sir Roly Walker has issued a warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin will seek revenge against the Western powers who supported Ukraine. He believes China, North Korea, and Iran will form an alliance against the West by 2027 to 2028

The point here is when you think they [the Russians] are down, they will come roaring back to get their vengeance,” Walker said at a recent conference. “That is why you get to this point by… 2027-2028 this convergence may have reached some sort of mutual singularity and your ability to deal with them in isolation – a specific crisis that can be managed by the rules based system – I think is significantly diminished,” he said.

This is in line with our computer models that have long insisted we would see a rise in both international and domestic conflicts throughout most nations by 2027 going into 2028. Britain is already quietly at war with Russia. Our UK array on the 10-year shows higher volatility into 2025.

I explained at the London Seminar that the Brits are extremely effective secretaries and we have a massive amount of data that helps us to predict what is to come. Interest rates rallied up five years to the downtrend line, but during times of war, interest rates must go up. The pound could eventually fall to 80 cents – it’s a confidence factor. As long as people anticipate war, you’re looking at capital outflows.

Everything must be viewed from a global perspective. I also explained in London that Taiwan may cease to exist as a nation by 2028. “A problem in one area is likely to trigger a sympathetic detonation in another and therefore it is a global problem looked at from different perspectives around the world,” Sir Walker stated. The true problem is that the NATO Neocons cannot resist the desire to engage in warfare. They have already set up the stage to attack China over Taiwan. It is not a matter of China becoming sympathetic to Russia, but rather, China has long felt that the international community is interfering in their personal affairs.

The British army will be ready to fight and kill the new formation of axis powers by 2027. Sir Walker believes the British army is outdated in troops and strength and needs to rebuild. Every nation is increasing military spending. There is a cycle to war and sadly it will soon be time for the next conflict.

NATO Escalation – Biden Approves Ukraine to Use U.S Missiles and Weapons to Strike Inside Russia


Posted originally on the CTH on May 31, 2024 | Sundance

According to Politico and the New York Times the Biden administration has given Ukraine approval to launch U.S provided missiles into Russia.  {LINK} This is a major escalation of NATO engagement, likely intended to provoke Russia to strike alternate targets.  The people inside Ukraine responsible for using these U.S. provided weapons are likely not Ukranian.

CTH is in an unusually serendipitous position to analyze how Russia is responding to this shift in USA position.  The morale inside Russia is very high amid the military age population.  The recruitment efforts of the Russian government appear to be numerous and very effective.

There are thousands of newly enlisted military personnel very visible in/around training facilities.  There is no apparent tension discernable. Overall Russia appears to take great pride in their military, and it is considered a matter of honor and pride to support them.

WASHINGTON – The Biden administration has quietly given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia — solely near the area of Kharkiv — using U.S.-provided weapons, two U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the move said Thursday, a major reversal that will help Ukraine to better defend its second-largest city.

“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use U.S. weapons for counter-fire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” a U.S. official said, adding that the policy of not allowing long-range strikes inside Russia “has not changed.”

[…] In effect, Ukraine can now use American-provided weapons, such as rockets and rocket launchers, to shoot down launched Russian missiles heading toward Kharkiv, at troops massing just over the Russian border near the city, or Russian bombers launching bombs toward Ukrainian territory. But the official said Ukraine cannot use those weapons to hit civilian infrastructure or launch long-range missiles, such as the Army Tactical Missile System, to hit military targets deep inside Russia.

It’s a stunning shift the administration initially said would escalate the war by more directly involving the U.S. in the fight. But worsening conditions for Ukraine on the battlefield –– namely Russia’s advances and improved position in Kharkiv –– led the president to change his mind. (read more)

You can tell from the general vibe amid the officials of government, Russia is not playing around with their military approach toward previous NATO encroachment or the provocations by the U.S.  The sense is that Russia is in this for the long haul and their structural changes in the aftermath of the sanction regime are not temporary.  Russians overall are hard and resilient to the reality of things as they are, not as they would wish them to be.

Russia appears to be entirely prepared financially, sociologically and economically to remain disconnected from the “West.”  Asia and India are filling the economic void created by Western sanctions.  Amid ordinary life, the general Russian sentiment seems to be one of acceptance to the geopolitical isolation.

In recent weeks the push toward further conflict with Russia seemed to be diminishing; however, this direct action by Biden and the State Dept puts the USA (NATO) in a more aggressive posture.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban opposes the escalation by NATO.

WASHINGTON – […] During a Friday interview on state radio, Orbán said that French President Emmanuel Macron’s stance that he wouldn’t rule out sending troops to Ukraine, as well as a NATO proposal that would allow Kyiv to strike military bases inside Russia with sophisticated long-range weapons provided by Western partners, risked escalating the war in Ukraine into a global conflict.

“War is a monster that is constantly hungry, it must be fed, and it must be fed with money. And I see that the Americans and the Democratic government of the United States, and the leaders of the European Union, are ready to feed it,” he said. (read more)

Tucker Carlson Interviews Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund About January 6th – Remarkable Revelations About DHS, FBI and DoD Proactive Intent


Posted originally on the CTH on August 12, 2023 | Sundance 

Tucker Carlson interviews Capitol Hill Police Chief Steven Sund about the events that took place in Washington DC on January 6, 2021. {Direct Rumble Link}

Within the interview former Chief Sund notes there was extensive “chatter” intelligence gathered by Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and even the Defense Dept (DoD) about the potential for disturbance and possible violence on Capitol Hill. However, not a single briefing was ever conducted, and not a shred of documentation was created about the warnings to share with the Capitol Police.

Was the “chatter” real or was it self-created by political leadership in federal agencies, DHS, DoD and FBI, who were intent on using chaos to facilitate the goals and objectives of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. We have previously outlined the Pelosi motive and expand again below. The Tucker Carlson interview with Police Chief Sund puts those motives and outcomes into a new context. WATCH:

Within the questions: the FBI and government apparatus had advanced knowledge of the scale of the J6 mall assembly yet doing nothing?  Why were the Capitol Hill police never informed of the FBI concerns?  Why didn’t House Speaker Nancy Pelosi secure the Capitol Hill complex, and why did she deny the request by President Trump to call up the national guard for security support?  Why did the FBI have agent provocateurs in the crowd, seemingly stimulating rage within a peaceful crowd to enter the Capitol building?  There have always been these nagging questions around ‘why’?

Long time CTH reader “Regitiger” has spent a great deal of time reviewing the entire process, looking at the granular timeline and then overlaying the bigger picture of the constitutional and parliamentary process itself.  What follows below is a brilliant analysis of the federal government motive to create a J6 crisis that permitted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to trigger an emergency session and avoid the 2020 election certification challenges.

Those congressional floor challenges, known and anticipated well in advance of the morning of January 6, 2021, would have formed a legal and constitutional basis for ‘standing’ in judicial challenges that would have eventually reached the Supreme Court.  The certification during “emergency session” eliminated the problem for Washington DC.

Regitiger explains below, only edited by me for clarity and context:

I think most, not all, but a large number of people, are totally missing what happened; and why this happened on Jan 6th.  I am going to try my best to outline the events that day, blast past the commonly held assumptions and get right down to the core corruption.

I will present this as a series of questions and answers.

♦ Q1: How do you prevent congress from delaying the certification of state electoral votes?

A: It requires a crisis. A crisis that creates an “emergency” …An “emergency” that invokes special house rules.

FACTS: Remember carefully, focus please. Just moments, literally 3 minutes before two representatives issued a vote for motions to suspend the certification, the House members were “informed” by capitol police and other “agents” that a protest was about to breach the chambers. It was at this time that key people: Pence, Pelosi, Schumer, Mcconnell can be seen being walked out and escorted from the chamber. This effectively halted the Entire Chamber Process.

♦ Q2: Why was it necessary to halt the chamber process?

A: The crisis was created to eliminate the motion challenges to halt the certification and to begin voting to look into voting irregularities and fraud

FACTS: The two motions were completely legal and constitutional under at least two constitutionally recognized procedures… procedures that would REQUIRE the house to pause the certification and then vote to determine whether the motions of suspend could move forward.

♦ Q3: What was so important to refuse this motion and the subsequent votes to suspend the electoral certification?

A: It was important to remove that process entirely and continue the fraud and certify the fraud with no detractors on record. This effectively gives no standing for a SCOTUS ruling appeal!  Understand this.  If those two motions, even just one had successfully been voted EVEN IF THE MOTIONS were DENIED IN VOTE, this gives those who presented them with STANDING FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL LEGAL ARGUMENT BEFORE SCOTUS. 

♦ Q4: Could this have been done some other way other than creating a crisis/protest?

A: Unlikely. In order to prevent those two motions, requires that speaker of the house, minority leaders, and the president of the congress (vice president of the United States: Pence), to NOT BE PRESENT IN THE CHAMBERS.

Once the capitol police and other “law enforcements agents” informed the speaker and these three other individuals, Pelosi UNILATERALLY UNDER EMERGENCY RULES, suspended the business of the congress. This protest was necessary. The crisis was created because there is no other way to suspend the business of certification UNILATERALLY. By creating a crisis invokes emergency procedures. No other circumstances other than war or mass simultaneous explosive diarrhea can create such unilateral speaker delivered suspension of the certification.

♦ Q5: Why did the motions, once that the speaker RECONVENED congress, move forward back again to the floor for votes? Why were members disallowed to even consider putting forward ANY motions to the floor in when the chamber business was reopened?

A: The Speaker initiated the NEW sessions under special emergency rules. These rules abandon and make it clear that the ONLY purpose of the new session was to EXPEDITE the certification and dismiss all prior regular session procedural rules. This is why those two motions to table votes to consider a debate and pause to the certifications of state vote electors never happened later that evening when the house business was reconvened!

♦ Q6: Other than new rules, emergency rules, what other peculiar things occurred when the speaker reconvened?

A: Members were allowed to “vote” in proxy, remotely, not being present.  You can use your imagination about what conditions were placed on ALL members during this time to prevent anyone from “getting out of line”.

Also clearly, it was at THIS NEW SESSION that VP Pence, President of Congress, would also have no ability to even consider pausing the electoral certification, because there were no motions of disagreements on the matter. So, in a technical legal claim, he is correct that he had no constitutional authority to address any issues of fraud or doubts about electoral irregularities. But this completely dismisses the FACT that congress created rules in this crisis/emergency that never allowed them to be floored!

Understand what happened in Jan 6, 2021.  Don’t get hung up on Viking impostors, stolen Pelosi computers, podium heists, and complicit capitol police. Understand the process and what happened and what WAS NOT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.

This was a coup….it was a very organized and carefully planned coup. VP Pence without a doubt as well as most members of the house were quite aware of how the certification was going to be MANAGED.  It would require new rules to prevent the debate clause from occurring!  New rules that ONLY AN EMERGENCY CRISIS COULD CREATE! So, they created an emergency.

•NOTED: I understand why many people have great interest in debunking the j6 event. I get that. I think it is important to dissect and examine the events of that day but please, step back and understand WHY these things happened. Examine the chain of events in congress.  Why those two motions that would have at least paused the certification THAT WOULD GIVE VP PENCE THE CONSTITUTIONALLY RECOGNIZED POWER TO MOVE TO SUSPEND THE ELECTORAL CERTIFICATION AND THEN EXAMINE THE IRREGULARITIES AND CLAIMS OF FRAUD!

At the very center of this coup stands Mike Pence, the same individual who also spoiled President Trump’s first opportunities in the earlies hours of his Presidency just 4 years prior, when he created and facilitated the removal of Lt General Michael Flynn. I will not spend much time on this thread explaining why Lt Gen Flynn was so important to President Trump and why the IC was so afraid he would have advisory power to the President. That I will leave for another day, another time. But understand this clearly: MIKE PENCE WAS AND IS WORKING FOR THE MOST CORRUPT CRIMINAL TREASONOUS PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT.

•PRO TIP: If you really want to get a true understanding of this matter videos of protesters walking in the capitol is not going to address them. Actual video and timeline records of events and the specific actions taken by the speaker just moments before TWO MAJOR ELECTORAL ALTERING MOTIONS WERE ABOUT TO BE FLOORED.

This crisis was developed just in time with a precise coordination to prevent those two motions to be entered into the chamber record. The two motions do not exist. The emergency powers established in the new session made sure they never could be entered. The emergency powers could never happen without a crisis.

God Bless America!”

NOTE: “Under this scenario, the J6 pipe bombs were the insurance policy, in the event the feds couldn’t get the crowd to comply with the FBI provocations. If no one stormed the Capitol, the finding of the two pipe bombs would have then been the emergency needed to stop the process.”  Which explains why the FBI has no interest in the DC pipe bomb suspects. ~ Sundance

Note from Author: “I started this effort years ago.  To date, no one and I mean no one has replied.  It’s as if everyone that can expose it that has a larger platform is either disinterested, or suspiciously withdrawn from the issue.  I made several comments about this over the years right here at CTH, on article threads that are relevant to the topic.

I was watching the certification live that day. I recorded it ALL on every channel. I was doing this because no matter what happened that day, I KNEW IT WOULD BE A PROFOUND AND SIGNIFICANT EVENT TO REMEMBER. I never in my wildest imagination (and I have a pretty vivid imagination, always have), expected to see the unmistakable perfectly timed “coincidences” that occurred.

One member raises a motion (with another in waiting for his turn) those two motions were well known and advertised. These were motions to vote for a pause in the certification to examine electoral vote fraud and irregularities. I can’t speak to the veracity and substance of those motions. They were never allowed to even be floored. it was at that exact moment that the house chambers were suspended and 4 of the key members, Pence, Pelosi, Schumer and McConnell were escorted OUT right after initiating the end of the session.

Effectively, this resulted in that motion never being floored at all.  Then, when reconvened under special emergency rules, inexplicably those two motions (and perhaps more – we will never know – or will we?) were not even attempted to be motioned. That was not just peculiar to me.

It all started to make more sense when I did some study on constitutional law AND THE HISTORY of specific special authorities given to president of the congress, Pence in this case. Not only did he have the authority and power to suspend the certification, but the duty to address the motion in the same sense that it becomes vital to the debate clause.

There really is no higher significance of weight given to the debate clause than the certification of the votes. This was more than odd to me the way that the media and pence framed their narrative: Pence would not have the constitutional power to suspend certification.  Then it hit me, like the obvious clue that was there all the time. He was right. But the reason he is right, is because there WAS NO MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO CAUSE HIM TO SUSPEND!

Understanding this, happened for me about 4 or 5 months after this Jan 6 day.  I took me this long to examine the facts, look at the video again, compare it to the arguments made by several leading constitutional academics, and again, inexplicably even some that I respect seemed to dodge that central reality.  The motions were never allowed to be floored in the re-convened house rules later that evening. Most would not even venture to address the exotically coincidence that the moment those two members would stand to place the motion before the house, that the House Speaker Pelosi AND Pence ended the session, effectively blocking the motions from being heard in normal house rules.

It’s been a journey for me. A journey that was initiated because I am just a simple but curious person. Perhaps even to a point where I get obsessive in those efforts. Many days and nights combing over the details. praying and trying to make sense of what makes little sense. With over 6 states having serious well known and obvious defects in the voting process, some more credible to believe – some less, but one would not expect the house would be so deliberate in marching past the motions that were definitely going to be present to slow this process down and take the time to get it right. Even IF the claims never reached an intersection that would change the outcome.

There are two possibilities: Millions of people, against all the odds, hitting all-time records even past Obama and Clinton, voted for a naval gazing ambulatory pathological racist moron. And chose Joe Malarkey as their leader.  Or this was a coup, a conspiracy, and a treasonous manipulation regime change because President Trump could not be controlled by the deep state and globalists who OWN AND OPERATE WASHINGTON DC.

BOTH POSSIBILITIES ARE TERRIFYING.

The only way for THE PEOPLE to gain power in this country is to force the transfer of it.  If truth isn’t the fuel and vehicle, we will just be replacing deck chairs and hitting the next series of expected ice bergs.

Knowing the truth is not enough; however, it is truth that makes it a righteous cause.

God Bless America!”

Sundance provides an addendum in support:

Julie Kelly – […] Just as the first wave of protesters breached the building shortly after 2 p.m., congressional Republicans were poised to present evidence of rampant voting fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Ten incumbent and four newly-elected Republican senators planned to work with their House colleagues to demand the formation of an audit commission to investigate election “irregularities” in the 2020 election. Absent an audit, the group of senators, including Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) pledged to reject the Electoral College results from the disputed states.

The Hail Mary effort was doomed to fail; yet the American people would have heard hours of debate related to provable election fraud over the course of the day.

And no one opposed the effort more than ex-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). 

During a conference call on December 31, 2020, McConnell urged his Republican Senate colleagues to abandon plans to object to the certification, insisting his vote to certify the 2020 election results would be “the most consequential I have ever cast” in his 36-year Senate career.

From the Senate floor on the afternoon of January 6, McConnell gave a dramatic speech warning of the dire consequences to the country should Republicans succeed in delaying the vote. He downplayed examples of voting fraud and even mocked the fact that Trump-appointed judges rejected election lawsuits. 

“The voters, the courts, and the States have all spoken,” McConnell insisted. “If we overrule them, it would damage our Republic forever. If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral.”

Roughly six hours later, McConnell got his way. Cowed by the crowd of largely peaceful Americans allowed into the building by Capitol police, most Republican senators backed off the audit proposal. McConnell, echoing hyperbolic talking points about an “insurrection” seeded earlier in the day by Democratic lawmakers and the news media, gloated. “They tried to disrupt our democracy,” he declared on the Senate floor after Congress reconvened around 8 p.m. “This failed attempt to obstruct Congress, this failed insurrection, only underscores how crucial the task before us is for our Republic.”

Congress officially certified the Electoral College results early the next day. (read more)

Western Sanctions Not Impacting Russian Economy as Much as Expected


Posted originally on the CTH on August 9, 2023 | Sundance 

I have been researching the MACRO economic dynamic in Russia quite deeply for the past six months.  Essentially looking to discover not only what impact the western imposed sanctions might be having, but more broadly looking to see what happens to self-sustainability when essentially locked out from the world of commercial imports.

The research is fascinating, not simply because it is a unique opportunity, but also because national economic issues play a big role in the overall social dynamic.  That said, I can say the social aspect is stunningly more interesting than the data driven outcomes.  When you really dig deep into actual life of the ordinary people in Russia, far away from the geopolitical contexts, you get an entirely different perspective.  My worldview of the average Russian person/family has completely changed.

There is a really good thread on how the western sanctions against Russia are having a much lesser impact than initially thought [SEE HERE].  On the economic side, one thing I would point to is how the economy is essentially an outcome of two facets: (1) the internal production strength, and (2) the service side of the ledger.

[READ HERE]

The author makes the accurate point that from a production side perspective, Russia actually has a larger economy now than Germany, the largest EU nation.  The cause for this is “autarchy” or self-sufficiency.  Indeed, as the timeline of the sanctions closes in on the second year completing, the Russian production economy is even stronger than when the sanctions began.  Quite simply, they are making even more of their own goods now.

The sanctions hit what would typically fall into the service side of the economy, as well as financial and economic roadblocks.  However, that aspect of the Russian economy was much smaller than most suspected and there were sanctions going back to 2014 which made the outcome of the 2022 western imposed restrictions less impactful.

I will be finishing my review of the economic data once Q3 is over, that will give me an entire year of data to share.  However, the social stuff is even more fascinating.

I have a new understanding of why former NSA contractor Edward Snowden was so comfortable using Russia as the place to hide after his release of classified intelligence showing how the U.S. government was spying on Americans via social media and metadata collection.

I have mostly been looking at three areas in Western Russia.  Kazan, Moscow and St Petersburg (formerly Leningrad).  Of the three generally large metropolitan areas, St Petersburg is by far the most interesting.  It’s beautiful there and the city is alive and vibrant.

In many ways you might compare Russia in 2023 to the USA in/around 1988.  Life is just not complicated and far more socially engaged.

I’ll have more on this later, but if you are ever bored check out the Russian YouTubers who livestream broadcast “a day-in-the-life” type of activity.  The infrastructure is in generally good repair, the people seem warm and friendly and there is a strong social value placed on family and kids.

There are certainly negatives and the cultural dynamic of the former USSR is still evident.  Technologically they are somewhat behind in some details, but the overall cohesion of their value system is something I did not fully appreciate until I started down this road of research.

I can see why the average Russian could be wide-eyed during a visit to the USA and fascinated with the overall quality of life that might be considered indulgent.  However, I can also see how reciprocally the average American could be wide-eyed and smiling at the overall sense of the Russian people.

Strip out the politics, and we are all much more similar than we are different.
