Are Gates & Soros All-Powerful?
Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption
Re-Posted Aug 17, 2020 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: Since Soros Gates and their friends are so powerful and since they control a lot of things, do you think they could manipulate the world stock markets too?
MG
London Financial Times – June 27, 1998
ANSWER: No. Keep in mind that Socrates has been forecasting the trend without knowing who are the players. They have simply appeared on schedule, but they have not reversed the course of the trend which was in motion. I have explained the main times that Socrates has been able to forecast wars are the collapse of governments. It does not use fundamental analysis. It simply tracks the capital flows. It picks up that people start to move their money if they obviously anticipate starting a war.
This has been the very same outcome. I have direct information that some players began to sell all government bonds and shares at the peak just before the virus was the major issue. They knew what was coming for their orchestrated this event. They apparently used our Economic Confidence Model turning point of January 18, 2020, for their timing. They were able to at best increase the magnitude of the decline, but they did not “manipulate” in the sense of taking a bull market and transforming it into a cycle inversion bear market. At the WEC in Orlando in 2019, we laid out that there would be a crash in January and that it should have been at least 20%. That was done much before any word of a virus.
Everything they have done is in accordance with Socrates’ forecast as we head into 2032. They will fail to create this new green world order. However, they have turned politics into a toxic arena from which they are dividing nations and even families. So they are not all-powerful. They will lose this battle.
Radical Left Tactics to Divide America, Rewrite History—Rep. Ken Buck | American Thought Leaders
Trump’s Joe Biden Is ‘Against God’ Is Legitimate
Leftist Secular Religion is Humanity’s Greatest Enemy, But True Faith its Antidote
A deafening howl arose from aggrieved Democrats when Donald Trump called Joe Biden’s ideas an “attack against God.” Apoplectic liberals seethed knowing the disadvantage in defending their grim beliefs. Most progressives eschew any divinity. But given how many Americans self-identify Christian, they scrambled to fight back against “godless liberalism.” Biden’s outraged partisans touted his Catholic fidelity. But, Question: If Biden were alive during Christ’s rise, would he have counseled Mary – an unwed pregnant teen—to abort the Messiah?
I. SECULAR RELIGION
AG Barr Opposes Faux Religions
In fact, leftism is not only godless, but suffers angst propelled by unresolved theological issues. This explains why leftism developed into a cult-like ‘political religion.’ In fact, AG William Barr described the postmodern development of BLM and Antifa as a power mad ‘secular religion.’
The left has “pulled away from the umbrella of classical liberal values that have undergirded” America and made a “secular religion” out of seeking “complete political victory,” Attorney General William Barr tells “Life, Liberty & Levin” this week. “They’re not interested in compromise,” Barr told host Mark Levin. “They’re not interested in a dialectic exchange of views. They’re interested in total victory…It’s a substitute for religion.
“They view their political opponents as evil because we stand in the way of their progressive utopia that they’re trying to reach, and that’s what gives the intensity to the partisan feelings that people feel today, because for them, this pilgrimage we’re all on is a political pilgrimage. Everything is reduced to politics for people who don’t have that perspective.”
AG Barr calls ANTIFA a ‘new form of urban guerrilla warfare’
Liberal History
Briefly, early leftism grew mushroom-like in the shadow of the 17th century scientific Enlightenment. Then socialism derived from Parisian writers after the French Revolution. Important French author, founder of Sociology, and godless religion – Auguste Comte, went clinically insane. Yet after 3 years of treatment, never fully recovered. But, in the 1840s Comte founded ‘Positivism,’ or society based on “science”, then outlined his Religion of Humanity. This secular religion was dedicated to Comte’s crush, Madame Clotilde de Vaux, as she was high-priestess and Comte its pope.
II. LEFTISM v FAITH
Source of Liberalism v. Christianity Conflict
Why did European politics and Christian theology part ways? Recall Europe itself was a biblical experiment birthing the modern world. As Carl Schmitt wrote,
All significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts not only because of their historical development — in which they were transferred from theology to the theory of the state, whereby, for example, the omnipotent God became the omnipotent lawgiver — but also because of their systematic structure, the recognition of which is necessary for a sociological consideration of these concepts.
So the West was built from Christian theories secularized, but as the Reformation faded in influence, politics reversed history and cannibalized religion.
III. GOVERNMENT SUPPLANTS CHURCH
Battle Over God’s Goodness: Theodicy
Theodicy is belief in a good God in a universe abounding in evil. In The Theology of Liberalism, Political Philosophy and the Justice of God, Eric Nelson states historic debates over whether the biblical God is good and just, waged for centuries. Summarizing, Calvinists believe God alone chooses his followers, whereas Pelagians claim God allows freedom to choose. It’s Predestination versus Free Will.
Good Free Men Prove God Just
Originally, the debate was theological, then invaded philosophy, and is now waged in social and political realms. Nelson explains the Pelagian/ free-will crowd, including eminent men like Milton, Locke, Rousseau and Kant, believed doing good works by choice defended God’s reputation. This allowed mankind to gain divine approval by serving humanity, bringing peace on earth, and founding utopia. So by doing free-will good on earth through liberalism, we establish the justness of God in heaven.
Political Adoption of Church’s Mandate
Charity developed from Jewish and Christian theology, so support of the underclass emanated from these, later augmented by government. Modern liberalism attempts to commandeer the Church’s role in serving humanity, both on ideological and practical rationale. Nelson explains it’s a fallacy to separate religion from politics in European history. But socialists, like Karl Marx accused capitalists of robbing the poor. They responded with a planned, communal, property-free state. Progressives rejected the church and God, and so by the impetus of transference, government fills the vacuum where God and religion once stood. Liberals only accept humanism.
Post-Modern Woke Snowflake Politics
Arriving in 2020, Democrats ride an unstable wave of progressive anger, hoping the tiger doesn’t turn and devour them. Between the economic and social shock of COVID-19 shutdowns, and the fury of Marxist-derived products Antifa and Black Lives Matter, they seek a sea-change. In typical revolutionary style, opportunist liberals use urban unrest to stifle opposition. This drives a wholly unethical and antinomian structure of Nihilism, claiming any activity is justified if driven by injustice to historically oppressed minorities. If this continues, the Rule of Law will collapse, replaced by the ad-hoc rule of despots, as seen in the USSR.
CONCLUSION
We’re told America is in the midst of a culture war. The problem with politics supplanting religion is it destroys both, amalgamating power. So Marxism, by demanding religion outlawed, and in its fake-messianic predictions, is a pseudo-faith. The threat to American liberty and safety is Marxism. Between Lenin, Stalin and Mao, more than 100,000,000 innocent souls were murdered in the name of the deified state. And no churches were allowed since Marxism will not accept competition. Therefore, we must all bone-up on Marxist theories and then commit ourselves to self defense. No better resistance training against tyranny has ever excelled the Bible. For, from the very beginning, church and state were separated to protect God’s people from usurpation of our Natural Rights & biblical Freedoms by fiery-eyed heathens.
The Justice Fish is dying from the head
If the Justice Fish dies, so will the Constitutional Republic of America – until the Second American Revolution brings freedom again
Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By Lee Cary —— Bio and Archives—August 15, 2020
Credit the Turkish poet Rumi (1207-1273) as the origin for an expression in one of his poems: “Fish begin to stink at the head, not the tail.”
The pinnacle of American jurisprudence is the United States Department of Justice. The Supreme Court of the United States adjudicates when, where and how justice should, and has been, exercised.
The Department of Justice in America is dying from the head. Essentially, it may already be dead. It appears so on the streets of Portland and Seattle, and in the political halls of Washington, D.C. and the Big Blue State governments.
Today, a handful of noteworthy voices is delivering this message in necessarily even-tempered tones. Here are three.
The President
Here is a summary of a FOX Business News reporter’s recent interview with President Trump, whose comments concerned both US Attorney Durham and Attorney General Barr. Maria Bartiromo asked about the Durham probe which Barr claimed could [the operative word] yield some results by next month. Quoting from her interview with the President, Trump said:
“‘I hope he’s doing a great job, and I hope they’re not going to be politically correct,’ Trump said. ‘Obama knew everything. Vice President Biden, as dumb as he may be, knew everything, and everybody else knew. And [former FBI Director James] Comey, and [former CIA Director John] Brennan, and [former Director of National Intelligence James] Clapper, they were all terrible, they lied to Congress,’ the president added.
‘They spied on my campaign, which is treason,’ he continued. ‘They spied, both before and after I won, using the intelligence apparatus of the United States to take down a president, a legally elected president, a duly elected president of the United States. It is the single biggest political crime in the history of our country.’”
Continuing, Trump added that he “hopes Durham is ‘doing a job,” and that his team “is not going to be politically correct and just get a couple of the lower guys. Bill Barr can go down as the greatest attorney general in the history of our country, or he can go down as an average guy. We’ll see what happens.”
Sidney Powell, General Flynn’s Lead Defense Attorney
In an interview posted on YouTube, Sidney Powell, who took over the defense of General Flynn after his deep state lawyers bled him dry of funds with bad results, said this, beginning at 53:05:
“It’s absolutely imperative that the Department of Justice return to the time when it would self-correct. It’s huge. When I was an assistant U.S. attorney, I was raised to tell the judge the truth, whatever it was. The good, the bad, the ugly. Somewhere in the last twenty years we came to this time when these people think the end justifies the means. They’re using the law as a weapon to destroy people, innocent people, to destroy peoples’ lives and that’s not what the system is about. So, the Department of Justice has got to start standing up for the right thing. The only politics in this prosecution [of Flynn] was from the very beginning. On the side of prosecuting General Flynn at all… It[righting the ship that’s the Department of Justice] has to be done if we’re to survive as a constitutional republic built on the rule of law.”
Sidney Powell: Inside the Michael Flynn Case and DOJ Reform
Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch
Beginning with the Russiagate Hoax, through the Kavanaugh Hearing, into the Impeachment ordeal, and continuing today, Judicial Watch (JD) has been led by Tom Fitton in its intrepid search for the truth. Throughout that process, JD has been blocked, to the point of being stonewalled, by the Department of Justice (DoJ), its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of State (DoS).
On August 14, Fitton was interviewed by the host of FOX’s Lou Dobbs Tonight show after a three-judge panel of the D.C. Court of Appeals ruled against JD and overturned a lower court order requiring Hillary Clinton to sit for a deposition concerning her use of a personal server while at the Department of State, and events surrounding Benghazi. Two of the judges were appointed by Obama, the third by Bush, Jr.
Into the interview (2:58), Fitton explains how resistance to JW continues to come both from the DoJ, FBI and the DoS:
Tom Fitton reacts to appeals court overturning Hillary Clinton deposition order
“It’s still happening. The attorneys at the State Department are colluding with the Clinton attorneys. They’re fighting us together. It’s incredible, and it’s a betrayal of everyone who expected law and order from this new Justice Department. [Dobbs asks] ‘What is William Barr doing?’ [Fitton silently holds up both arms, then says…] Nothin’.”
Late last week the DoJ announced that FBI Attorney Kevin Clinesmith – hardly a household name in the Russiagate Hoax – pled guilty to illegally altering a FISA document. While it may evolve into an important development, he could become merely one of a very few low-level persons held accountable for a multi-year lie.
Tom Fitton reacts to appeals court overturning Hillary Clinton deposition order
Sacrificial lambs.
One thing is certain. If Biden becomes the next POTUS, any and all efforts to surface the truth of a litany of corruption from the highest level of the Federal Government, through the Big Blue State Governors’ mansions, down to the Mayors and City Councils of the Big Blue Cities that aim to defund their Police Departments, will vanish.
Should that happen, many Americans will have been as Estragon and Vladimir who waited for Godot to come on a country road. Pozzo and his slave “Lucky” come by, and Lucky delivers a speech about God and hell.
Then comes a goatherder who delivers the message that Godot has promised to come soon. Later, the goatherder comes again to say that Godot will come the next day. Then, on a different day, the goatherder brings a message of Godot’s imminent arrival. After multiple false starts, Estragon and Vladimir decide they’ll hang themselves if Godot doesn’t come.
There the play, “Waiting for Godot,” ends.
If the Justice Fish dies, so will the Constitutional Republic of America – until the Second American Revolution brings freedom again.
Media Asleep For Sleep Joe
Unfortunately, we have a media that have chosen sides and will not press Biden for answers, they will be too busy playing cheerleader
Re-Posted from the Canada free Press By Jeff Crouere —— Bio and Archives—August 15, 2020
Former Vice President Joe Biden has enjoyed incredibly favorable coverage from the mainstream media in the 2020 presidential race. His baggage, such as a history of plagiarism, racist comments, and shady dealings for his son Hunter, has been completely ignored by the media.
While the media are working overtime to demonize President Donald Trump, Biden has been able to stay in his basement for months conducting very few interviews. In his recent press appearances, Biden has exited without taking questions from the media. His staffers told the media to leave and they meekly complied with these demands without shouting any questions.
While Biden is given deference and outright support by the media, President Trump is treated like trash
As President Trump noted, it is “Very strange. Sleepy Joe never takes questions from the media.” He tweeted that the reporters covering Biden have “zero drive. Why can’t my reporters behave like that? Something is going on?” Of course, the President knows he is hated by the liberal news media while Biden is given the soft touch coverage. The Trump attack dog media have become the Biden lap dog media.
While Biden is given deference and outright support by the media, President Trump is treated like trash. It began the day he announced for President and it has not ceased. He never received a honeymoon from the media after he won the presidency.
The President is regularly blasted with non-stop questions during his press briefings and when he attempts to leave. Usually, the media hurl “gotcha” questions at the President designed to leave a negative impression with the public. Trump hating reporters are constantly trying to find anything they can to turn into a controversy that will hurt his administration.
While the President is challenged daily by his enemies in the media, Biden has only been challenged twice in recent months, both times by African American journalists. During a May 22 interview on the “Breakfast Club” radio program Biden was asked by co-host Charlamagne tha God to come by his New York studio for an in-person interview before the election because, “We’ve got more questions.”
Biden was outraged that an African American would need to ask him more questions. He snapped, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” This horrific and condescending comment, dripping with contempt, should have destroyed the Biden campaign. As usual, the media gave him a pass and he stayed in the basement, riding high in the polls.
When Biden is challenged, he snaps
Several months later, during an August 5 interview with CBS journalist Errol Barnett, Biden snapped when asked whether he planned to take a cognitive test. He shouted, “No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? Come on, man, that’s like saying to you before you got on this program if you had taken a test, were you taking cocaine or not? What do you think, huh? Are you a junkie?”
Another interview led to another dreadful response from Biden. It was not only a racist response, but it also contradicted a comment he made at a June 30 press conference. He told Fox News reporter Doug McKelway that he was “constantly tested” for cognitive decline.
When Biden is challenged, he snaps. Americans have seen it during campaign stops when he has encountered tough questions from audience members. During this campaign, it is a sad fact that Biden has faced tougher questions from average Americans than he has faced from the lap dog media.
The kid glove treatment has continued after his highly praised selection of U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his vice-presidential pick. Almost immediately, the media championed the selection. This is the same corrupt media that destroyed another female running mate, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
She was ridiculed, ambushed, and mistreated by the media that was working tirelessly to elect Barack Obama as the first African American President of the United States. According to Palin, “if you’re conservative, you’re going to get beat up.” She noted these three challenges that all conservative candidates, male or female, face, “It’s three against one: you have the Democrat Party, you have the media and you have the RINOs in your own party that are always, always trying to clobber you.”
Palin was called a “bimbo,” who was “good-looking,” and had “sex appeal.” In contrast, Harris has been commended for her intelligence and her record
Palin was called a “bimbo,” who was “good-looking,” and had “sex appeal.” In contrast, Harris has been commended for her intelligence and her record. The media are working overtime to shield her extremely liberal record. Instead of reporting that she has been ranked as the most liberal United States Senator, The New York Times referred to her as a “pragmatic moderate.” Such coverage is not only laughably biased, but it is also routine for the corrupt and dishonest mainstream media.
Until Election Day, we can expect the media to continue to protect Biden and Harris, while using every opportunity to demonize the President and Vice President. Biden is hoping he can continue to hide from questions with his “basement strategy.” While liberal Fox News host Chris Wallace claimed that Biden could not “hide from now until Election Day,” the former Vice President will surely try to stay hidden for as long as possible. If he limits his media interactions, he will have fewer opportunities to showcase his gaffes and his mental incompetence.
If our country had a decent media, this type of behavior would be unacceptable. Unfortunately, we have a media that have chosen sides and will not press Biden for answers, they will be too busy playing cheerleader.

Katarina Jovanović has done a very good job at research. What she explains here is the very essence of the difference between Socialism & Capitalism. The former cannot tolerate class and must always eliminate all oppressors. She even goes into the correct analysis that Hitler eliminated the Jews based upon the ideas of Karl Marx. While it is true that Marx was a distant cousin of the Rothschilds, he was not supported by them and remain very hateful of such capitalists. All one needs to do is actually read his Communist Manifesto to gain understand of that Marx’s ideas even fueled Hitler and World War II. Katarina lived the horrors of Socialism.
Liberty is Inherent – The Removal of Liberty Requires Consent…
August 15, 2020
..”If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.”.. ~Sam Adams
The power of government comes from the people; or as we say in the U.S. “from the consent of the governed.” When people lead, the politicians are forced to follow. Without implied consent the municipal or state government has no power. None.
The power of the local, regional or state authority comes from the expressed consent of the people. As soon as the majority of people deny that consent, those officials and state authoritarians lose all of their power. Yes, it really is that simple.
Those who construct the systems of control need to weaponize fear. Fear of arrest; fear of losing a business; fear of losing liberty or financial security. Local, regional and state officials rely on fear. As soon as We The People are no longer fearful, the control ends.
The overwhelming majority of dictates around COVID-19 mitigation are not laws. There was no debate; no input from representative government; and no option for the public to weigh-in on the decisions.
All unilateral rules are arbitrary, and despite many proclamations to the contrary, they rely upon voluntary compliance. As soon as citizens no longer voluntarily comply, the term of the rules has expired. Liberty is inherent. The removal of liberty requires consent.
REMINDER – When I share the message “live your best life”, it is not without purpose. Every moment that we allow the COVID and leftist onslaught to deter us from living our dreams, is a moment those who oppose our nation view as us taking a knee.
Do not allow this effort to succeed.
You might ask yourself how can I, one person, a flea looking into a furnace, retain an optimistic disposition while all around me seems chaotic and mad.
That’s the point; it ‘seems’ chaotic and mad because it has been created to appear that way. There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages, and recognize the scale of our assembly.
Every second that you live your life with thankfulness for the abundance within it; every moment that we CHOOSE to engage with fellowship; every day that we accept guidance from God – however you define him to be; and every moment we cherish this time to be a beacon of optimism; is a moment that we withstand that barrage and hold the flag in place. It is a genuinely patriotic position not to succumb to the attack.
If you allow yourself to be drawn into crisis and despair, you allow them to win. If your center of normal is based around this overwhelming onslaught, you will eventually concede liberty in favor of peace. Once we stop living in liberty, we no longer have peace.
It took me a while to fully understand just how damaging empty streets, soulless eyes, the lack of smiles, shuttered businesses, and the absence of joy would become. But as I travel around trying to deliver a very specific message to a very specific audience, I recognize just how much damage is being done; not just to our nation as a whole, but also to every individual within it – personally.
We must shake this mindset. We must withstand this onslaught and rally to the origin of our true national spirit. We must rally to a standard of Americanism and accept this is not that. In essence, we must individually take a stand. Purposefully, deliberately and with forethought, we must engage those around us to get rid of this sense of foreboding.
This approach is how we win the larger battle.
All around us, in every tribe and region, there are people who need you to show them the strength that you have. Strength of spirit. Strength of fellowship that you will not relent from expressing. No matter what noise is shouting from the loudspeakers, we must withstand it; we must make eye contact and remain joyful. We cannot allow despair to be the status quo.
Our nation needs more people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic, however you need to do it. Then, let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again. God knows we need it.
Lift your spirits. I cannot tell you how much of a difference it makes right now; not only to this internet community, but to our nation as a whole. Choose to be optimistic. Live your best life, RIGHT NOW, there are people working furiously and with great purpose. Remember, this is the only life we have – so seize this day, and then the next, and then keep going.
We live in the greatest nation on the face of the earth. We are the people of that nation, with boundless opportunities most of the world can only dream of. Our opposition has nothing but false witness, fear and lies. Push on them, they are weak and shallow.
We are Americans…. Those who are working against our interests thrive in an atmosphere of despair and disenfranchisement – do not give it to them. Carry an optimistic spirit, regardless of how challenging. I cannot explain it, but that makes success more certain.
Do not fuel our opposition with the power of fear. Be strong right now; be happy right now; demand action, you are worth it. Do not give evil elements an inch of space within your heart. Expect and demand accountability. Do not worry about being perceived as an a**hole about it.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9
Quit listening to those who say “can’t” and “won’t”…
If some feel comfortable sitting in their socially distant box and bitching about all things that are not right, or might be not be right…. Or, if they prefer to allow themselves to be overcome with dark imaginings simply because what cannot be done is more comfortable than the effort to oversee what needs to be done…. well, that’s okay.
They can do that.
And when they are done doing that, they’ll still be in the same place. However, you can choose to be positive and take action.
Rally your spirits to a standard of worthiness; because you are worth so much more. We are on the right side of history. We are being guided. It is rather remarkable.
Again, thanks for your support. Every prayer is felt, and I really believe those prayers are making a difference. I’m seriously humbled. Prayerfully so… But remember, failure has never been in our national lexicon. Life is good…. now, get to livin’ it.
Hopefully, I’ll see you soon…

The Biden Harris Malarkey Bus!
“It’s not about your rights, it’s about your responsibilities.”
Biden actually said this as he appeared with his VP pick, Kamala Harris. They were pushing a nationwide mask mandate. If elected, Biden said he “would do everything possible” to ensure Americans wear masks in public. He claims the masks make a “gigantic difference,” and under his presidency he will make wearing masks the law of the land.
The masks are not making a gigantic difference. Not against the coronavirus, anyway. Cloth masks do not stop the virus at all and in fact, the constant mask fidgeting ensures viruses and bacteria will be transferred to the masks via dirty fingers. Constant mask wearing is very bad for one’s health. It’s not good to breathe in one’s own CO2 all day.
Both Biden and Trump said mask wearing is ‘patriotic.’ Anytime a politician tells citizens that an annoying mandate that compromises freedom is ‘patriotic,’ it’s always a huge red flag. Wearing a mask is neither patriotic nor protective. It’s a sign of compliance. Government gets to see what it can get away with and what we will tolerate. So far, most Americans are doing what they’re told in lockstep. They seem almost eager to exchange freedom for safety. They will get neither.
Our rights, once abandoned, are very difficult to retrieve without blood being spilled. If you don’t want to live in a country where you must PERMANENTLY wear a mask as you step out your door, the time to protest is now.
As for Joe and Kamala, their Malarkey Bus is just waiting to be run over by Trump. The current Democratic presidential ticket is the weakest in history. If the mass media thinks black and brown people will vote for Biden because of Harris, they may be in for a surprise. She’s hated by many minorities after she did her best to lock them up for minor transgressions such as marijuana possession or when their kids were truant. Harris herself admitted she inhaled her Jamaican pot deeply. Now we’re forced to breathe in her bad hypocrisy breath as she exhales. Maybe in this instance, a mask is desirable.
