Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a Socialist in Disguise


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted May 3, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Robert F Kennedy Jr spoke out against the COVID pandemic and demanded a serious investigation into those who promoted the worldwide panic. “Just to be clear, I will prosecute any official who engaged in criminal wrongdoing during the pandemic. Corrupt individuals are a small part of the problem. Our agencies have been captured by corporate power, but the vast majority of their staff are decent people. We need to get corporate influence out of *all* regulatory agencies so that they can serve the people honestly,” Bobby wrote on his Twitter. While he may be more moderate than Biden, do not be fooled—he is not presidential material.

Jailing one’s opponents is one of the oldest political strategies in the book. Many may cheer that Robert F Kennedy Jr. wants to jail those responsible for COVID, but looking back on his prior remarks, he wants to jail everyone who disagrees with him. In the video above, Kennedy calls for “three hots and a cot” for anyone who dares to question climate change. This directly violates the First Amendment and is a dangerous road to go down. These climate change idiots are all seething with anger.

His website mentions his political promises and top priorities but barely touches on the economy. “Government assistance to the nation’s most vulnerable is a high priority,” he writes under his “revitalization” promise that makes absolutely no mention of inflation. Instead, he discusses wealth redistribution and highlights the “wealth gap” while adding in that minorities are more prone to poverty to divide the people further.

“We will rebuild the industrial infrastructure, ruined by forty years of off-shoring and misguided “free trade” schemes…We will break up “too-big-to-fail” banks and monopolies, and when crisis strikes, bail out the homeowners, debtors, and small business owners instead.” Clearly, he does not understand the basics of banking or free trade and wants the people to rely on government assistance rather than the free market. He also loosely mentions wanting to change the healthcare system but does not offer a clear solution.

Bobby is simply another socialist in disguise pushing for the same agenda as all the other Democrats, minus his stance on COVID. His eagerness to jail his political opponents is very alarming. Luckily, the Democrats won’t let anyone challenge Biden, who has no views or original thoughts to question the establishment.

How to Teach Your Kids About Taxes


Armstrong Economics Blog/The Hunt for Taxes Re-Posted Feb 28, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty, you are 100% spot on about governments only ever being capable of lying and mismanaging money and raising taxes.
The Australian Labor party that ran on a mandate to not change superannuation are now proposing to change superannuation.
Their plan is the abolish tax benefits for accounts with balances above $3M, using the usual argument of targeting only the rich.
That is always the selling pitch isn’t it? Only the rich and of course the majority take the bait.
I have desperately tried to inform people that it is NEVER just the rich that re impacted. I have can not for the. life of me get people to understand that the so called rich, will be required to sell assets to meet tax commitments and have less money to buy assets into the future, and that, that in turn will impact asset prices and thus affect everyone. Rich and poor.
And then there is the obvious. Thresholds never remain where they begin and are always lowered.
Government is on the hunt for money in every country.
Cheers

REPLY: That is the problem. Most people do not want to believe that the government only looks out for its own power. It is so critical to prohibit career politicians no matter which direction they lean. For in the end, they will always lean in their own favor.

Perhaps you might remind them of the “Luxury Tax” that the sales pitch was they were going to tax their Ferarries, Fur Coats, & their French Wines. I was there in Australia back then. Maybe I saw two Ferraries because they were already 100% taxed to import. Some perhaps wore a fur coat down in Melbin, and nobody ever served me French wine – its was always Australian. People cheered then too – get those evil rich people. Then they woke up and ALL electrical products were suddenly a luxury.

The bulk of all taxes is always from the common people simply because we outnumber the billionaires. There are less than 500 such people in the USA. Confiscate all their wealth and you will not balance the budget even for one year.

Ship of Fools


Armstrong Economics Blog/Cryptocurrency Re-Posted Feb 28, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Do you think that this entire scam with cryptocurrencies that the government will be able to track, do they realize that in war you take down the power grid and all digital currency fails? If the backup system is destroyed, all your digital currency will vanish. Are they this stupid? Is this why they have shills saying you are wrong?

ANSWER: Yes. I have spoken to people involved in creating this insanity. First, they do not think there will ever be a nuclear war. Second, they really do think that they will create regime change in Russia at the expense of probably every Ukrainian alive today who are fools being led to the slaughter. When I have brought up the subject – WHAT IF YOU ARE WRONG! They dismiss it and do not even entertain plan B. The whole digital currency is all about tracking every dime. I have said many times, this is all about the new world order which is Schwab’s Great Rest and he knows that is our 2032 forecast. They all believe that forecast and are preparing to redesign the world this time to achieve their totalitarian dreams.

When I asked – Did you authorize Bitcoin? They just do not reply. Silence is golden. The launch of Bitcoin was just too damn convenient. That was standard operational political tactics – you float a balloon and see how the people accept it.

If you have ever been to Nuremberg, Germany, they have a bronze statue there – the Ship of Fools. The sculpture named Ship of Fools by Jurgen Weber is based on the satirical allegory by Sebastian Brant. This is now a reality.
