Grasping the Future Unfolding Before Our Eyes


Armstrong Eonomics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 23, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hi Marty,
I write to you somewhat often. Never get a response on the blog. I was hoping you could respond to this one question to put my mind and the mind of other Americans at peace.
It is clear that Europe is falling to the Covid tyranny. You say that “they” will not win in the end in the U.S. So my question is, what is the fate of the U.S. Should I be leaving my career, selling my house, and moving to a self-sufficient farm? Will the vaccine become compulsory for everyone in the U.S. or are they starting to lose? In short, can you give an overview of Socrates’ predictions and the timeline for the U.S.? Will it devolve into WWIII or a civil war, and when is that predicted? Will they put the unvaccinated in concentration camps at some point? Will there be shortages in the U.S. that result in famine?

What do you think? You would be helping an untold number of people by responding to this in the blog. Thank you so much for your time!

Don

ANSWER: I will try to put together a report for this overview. Europe is hopeless. Because they moved to negative interest rates in 2014, I warned them this would destroy their bond markets and undermine Europe completely. They refused to listen. Now we are seeing the consequence of those actions. This video is from an interview when I was in Europe back in 2018.

They are using COVID lockdowns, not for heath, but to crush the people into submission. They are following Schwab’s agenda — you will own nothing and be happy — pretending they are doing this for you when in fact it is the government defaulting on their debt. Europeans should put their money outside of the euro exactly as the Germans were using everyone else’s currency but their own during the hyperinflation.

Europe has no choice. The EU agenda has completely failed. This is why they have embraced Schwab’s agenda. To retain power and prevent the people from storming the palaces of the elite and parading their heads on spikes through the streets, they needed the lockdowns, destroy people’s ability to pay their debts, then sweep in with absolving everyone of debts as they default.

Schwab believes his Fourth Industrial Revolution will eliminate jobs through technology with robots and the creation of body parts. I believe he is trying to accelerate this so he does not die. But just like global warming, they are terminating fossil fuels now decades before there will be any sufficient replacement. They are destroying jobs on a grand scale in Europe also long before robots could replace a sufficient amount of the workforce. They are changing the world economy now while reading comic books of Flash Gordan and assuming that will be tomorrow.

The United States is a different power structure and Biden cannot do what European leaders are doing. This is why Soros is funding groups to try to destabilize the United States and this is most likely going to lead to civil war for he has been funding the polarization of America with the aid of the Democrats.

This idea of recreating the world economy when they do not even understand that it is the people who created the economy, not the elite.  Schwab clearly does not believe in God, like Karl Marx, or in nature. He thinks that the elite can direct how the future should be just like the Communists. People think that communism failed ONLY because they did not have the USA and Europe in the fold.

Such people reject the foundation of Adam Smith’s invisible hand and think they can decide, as the Communists did, what direction the economy should take from a bureaucratic central overview. That has been proven to be wrong so many times, but they refuse to give up because it is their power they cherish — not the people.

There is a revolution brewing in the country. They are deliberately undermining society in hopes of taking over the United States. I will provide a detailed report on all of this and why Socrates has forecast that they will FAIL. Let it be said, I have tried very hard myself to defeat Socrates. But I have failed every time. I did a Solution Conference in 2015 when I realized it was Schwab I was fighting against.

Powell to Remain at Fed as a Democratic Revolt is Festering


Armstrong Economics Blog/Central Banks Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Biden nominates Powell for the second term as Fed chief, as Democratic Opposition to his leadership is rising fiercely. Biden’s handlers appeased the Progressives by naming Brainard vice-chair. The hearings of  Omarova have rattled even conservative Democrats who are starting to wonder who is really calling the shots.

Then the word in DC is that Biden will run in 2024. The conservative Democrats are beside themselves. With Biden’s polls at only about 33% favorable, they are starting to suspect that his administration is about this Great Reset and the strings being pulled are not to their liking. But a president who is mentally incompetent is exactly what these people wanted to change the United States into a Marxist Wonderland.

Millennials Priced Out of Home Ownership


Armstrong Economics Blog/Real Estate Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Why do 20% of Millennials (25-40-year-olds) in the US believe homeownership is completely unobtainable? To start, rentals across the US are on the rise. The Fair Market Rents (FMRs) compile data every year to determine the cost of the 40th percentile gross rents for typical, non-substandard rental units. This means that the majority of rental properties cost more than the FMRs reports.

From October 2020 to September 2021, Arkansas saw the lowest rental costs for a standard two-bedroom at $697 per month. Alabama ($726), Mississippi ($727), and Missouri ($728) also had some of the lowest costs for two-bedroom rentals in the nation. However, people living there typically receive wages based on the low cost of living. On the high side, Hawaii came in as the most expensive state to rent a two-bedroom at $1,798, followed by the District of Columbia ($1,765), Massachusetts ($1,642), and New Jersey ($1,552). Again, these figures represent only the 40th percentile of properties, and most people are paying more.

Gone are the days when people could spend the standard recommendation of ¼ of their monthly income on housing. This leaves renters with reduced savings for the property of their own, and the cycle of renting continues. For those who can save to own property, the property tax makes it nearly impossible to make the transition from renting to owning despite mortgage prices being similar to rental costs. This does not even touch income tax, capital gain tax, sales tax, and the plethora of taxes we need to pay to the government to exist.

According to data, New Jersey has the highest property taxes in the country at 2.47%. Therefore, a $205,000 home would cost a property owner around $5,064 annually in property taxes alone. Illinois has the second-highest rate at 2.3%, New Hampshire at 2.2%, and Connecticut at 2%. Despite having the highest rental costs, Hawaii has the lowest property tax at 0.27%; however, the state demands some of the highest home prices in the country. Alabama (0.42%), Colorado (0.53%), and Louisiana (0.53%) also have some of the lowest property taxes in the nation. To own, expect to have the funds for a down payment, closing costs, inspections, repairs, maintenance, and more. The ongoing home bidding wars and declining inventory has also made the American dream of homeownership seemingly unobtainable for many. This has led to an entire generation delaying milestones such as having children and a family, which, in turn, contributes to a weakening economy.

Salesforce – A Dangerous Company?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Marc Benioff took Salesforce following the full mandate to be vaccinated based on the federal contractor rule for all employees, despite the fact that not everyone in the company deals with the government. This is even contrary to the court ruling and OSHA rescinding that decree. It appears that Benioff is following Schwab and his partnership with the World Economic Forum rather than the US Constitution. If he does not reverse that position, it appears that Salesforce will be the target of a massive class-action lawsuit.

Marc Benioff is up to his neck if not over his head in league with Klaus Schwab. Personally, I will neither do business with nor advise Salesforce in any capacity. Benioff, I believe,  takes his marching orders from Schwab and has committed a public company to his personal friendship with Schwab. But Benioff does not believe he owes anything to his shareholders, but society comes first with stakeholder economics that failed once the government provided socialist benefits.

Benioff’s duty is to his shareholders. If I raised money to go public and then said, oh, by the way, I think I will donate what you just gave me to my personal charity, I think that would be called fraud.

Tucker Carlson Interviews Kyle Rittenhouse

Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber as he was being attacked by a raging mob in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse also fired on Gaige Grosskreutz as the attacker held a handgun toward him. Prosecutors and U.S. corporate media attempted to claim that Rittenhouse was a racist vigilante looking for a fight; however, the defense, and all video of the events, show all shootings were justifiable self-defense.

NBC Thanksgiving Suggestions to Cope With Joe Biden Inflation, Don’t Buy Turkey and Don’t Invite Family


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 22, 2021 | Sundance | 176 Comments

NBC ran an interesting segment on how to cope with the massive inflation and additional costs caused by Joe Biden.  Given the collapsing state of the U.S. economy, and crushing price increases for products created by White House policy, the administration previously suggested we should lower our expectations.

NBC takes the ‘lower expectations‘ theme to entirely new levels.  I’m not sure they thought through the meaning of Thanksgiving prior to the suggestions; however, Biden’s NBC stenographers have a few interesting recommendations.

The first suggestion is don’t buy the Thanksgiving day turkey, it’s too expensive.  The second odd suggestion to save money is do not invite friends of family to dinner.  WATCH:

Darrell Brooks Initial Court Appearance Scheduled for 2pm CT Tuesday, DOJ-CRS Outlines Waukesha Judiciary Media Rules


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 22, 2021 | Sundance | 194 Comments

The self-proclaimed black supremacist, who used his vehicle as a weapon to kill five people and injure 40 more, has his first court appearance scheduled for 2:00pm CT tomorrow (Tuesday November 23, 2021) [Details Here].

Suspect Darrell E. Brooks will have his preliminary hearing under the careful control of the U.S. Dept of Justice Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS) who oversee all U.S. criminal cases when race is identified as the underlying motive for an attack.

Due to the high visibility of the case; and specifically because the DOJ-CRS are the primary stakeholder in the judicial proceedings {Go Deep}; the Community Relations Service has provided a court order instructing the Waukesha judiciary how they must engage/control media access.  [Media Instructions Here]  The CRS provides the template and Chief Judge Jennifer Dorow signs the order.

The primary concern for the CRS, aka ‘federal peacekeepers‘ is control over the national media narrative.  The techniques behind the court order are familiar:

(Source pdf)

Long term CTH readers have familiarity with how the peacekeepers work to tamp down issues and control criminal cases that are adverse to the interests of the federal government.

Ironically, and purposefully, the claimed need for national racial cohesiveness is the statutory justification for federal control.  Ironic, because the DOJ-CRS support the use of race for political benefit, then the CRS claims to protect national unity against the outcome from using race for political benefit.  The propaganda is thick.  I digress…

FOX6 did a great outline of the prior criminal record of Mr. Darrell Edward Brooks in one of their broadcasts.  WATCH:

UPDATE: Cultural Marxist Propaganda Will Be Massive – Waukesha Officials and Feds Press Conference – Open Discussion Thread


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 22, 2021 | Sundance | 613 Comments

UPDATE:  Well, the presser is over and everything unfolded exactly as expected.  The “federal peacekeepers” are fully in control, and the playbook was once again fully displayed. Howie used to call the CRS the “tamp down committee,” and he’s right.  If you doubt the playbook, look at the predictions last night {GO DEEP} and this morning, and compare them to the outcome.

CRS activates the faith network. √ CRS hands out the scripts. √  Officials read the CRS talking points √… and the tamp down is executed.  Daniel Thompson was used exactly as predicted, and even the local officials said at the conclusion of the presser there would be “no further press conferences” to outline the ongoing investigation.  Everything is now in full ‘move along, move along… nothing to see here, folks,… move along‘ mode.   They need this to disappear fast, and so it will.

The decades-old peacekeeper playbook is entirely predictable.  The only good thing is that this event will open up more eyes to the federal control effort and the existence of the DOJ-CRS as a progressive federal agency to control public opinion. WATCH:

♦ Outlined Earlier – There are many new readers since we originally began highlighting the work of the DOJ Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS) over a decade ago.  The Christmas parade attack in Wisconsin is the worst case scenario for the federal officials who shape American racial views for political control.  What you are about to witness is the largest CRS propaganda push in recent memory.

Race is used as a political tool by those who control the levers of power in the U.S. government.  Victims and perpetrators are defined according to how the dividing narrative fits their effort for political value. The progressive group deep inside the CRS are also called “the federal peacekeepers“, because they organize the nuances within the division to protect the system from outcomes they essentially create.

The CRS watches, and in many ways facilitates, politicians and federal officials stirring up racial strife.  The CRS supports cultural Marxism. However, when the inevitable violence surfaces, the CRS must control the backlash.   [NOTE: The CRS only activates when the minority supported group attack the majority non-supported group.]

The mass killing of white people in Wisconsin motivated by a black suspect -retaliating based on a false information created by federal officials, politicians and national corporate media- is the apex of predictable outcome from a national program of cultural Marxism.  They need this story to go away FAST.

The DOJ-CRS is our American social fabric abuser.  In this Wisconsin scenario, the progressive CRS has a major role to play in shaping the perspectives of victims away from the consequences of their activity.

Every resulting action is under the CRS control, and every word follows their script. Everything, including the excuses, justifications, tone and requests from the officials under the guidance of CRS, is purposeful propaganda.  The CRS assigns the public face of local response (it will likely be Daniel Thompson), and the CRS hands out the script that all local, state and media allies are required to follow.

The emergency response scripts are pre-written talking points for generic use when needed.   The emergency scripts are managed by officials within the Dept of Justice Community Relations Service and generally do not change over time.   Those initial talking points are deployed quickly once the attack occurs.  That initial emergency response took place last night and into this morning.  However, now the CRS will get down to the business of granular control with people on the ground in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

What I have just described sounds like something weird and conspiratorial, but it’s not.  It is really just another manifestation of what we witness from many of our political and justice institutions.

The DC system operators have used racial division for their own benefit for decades; however, the peacekeeper deployment has been refined, updated and refreshed with the advent of technology and social media.

The CRS primarily focuses on clouding, obfuscating and hiding motives from violent race-based attacks.  They will take a small innocuous possibility and expand it into the larger talking points if that helps to deflect attention away from the real racial motive of a violent attack.  Remember, the CRS primarily activates when the controlled minority group attacks the majority group.

The CRS stands aside when national media and politicians push a false narrative that benefits their objectives.  When a NASCAR garage pull down rope is falsely promoted as a noose, the CRS just watch and do not refute the claim.  When Kyle Rittenhouse is wrongfully accused of being a white supremacist the CRS do not get involved, they just watch and do not refute the claim.  These examples advance the objective of the cultural Marxists and are therefore not impeded.

However, when a supported minority group attack the majority group with a motive based on race, the CRS quickly jump into action.  That is the specificity of what they do, and the CRS have broad power and authority to carry out their operations because they are aligned with one side of the political continuum.

The CRS use allied media to shape their control over their defensive justifications and narratives.  The CRS also have a massive network within the faith-based community that act as partners for their mission.

The African Methodist Episcopal church (AME) is a major partner for the CRS in their objectives.  Their relationship goes back to the civil rights era, before the CRS was corrupted for unilateral political benefit.  There is also a large network of nationwide community activist groups who are part of the CRS rolodex.  The federal peacekeeper reach is massive and, because of the cultural sensitivity they use as a weapon, it is virtually unchallenged.

What we will witness today in Waukesha, Wisconsin, is entirely scripted by the DOJ Community Relations Service.  The CRS will want national attention on this attack to disappear quickly.  They will coordinate this effort by focusing any response to media on a local level.  The CRS do not want detailed national media coverage, so they shut out national media from the local pressers and shape the national coverage through specifically targeted distribution of controlled information.

Watch with new eyes and you will see it all very clearly.

Once you see the strings on the Marionettes, you can never go back to that time before when you did not see them….

The United States Has Been Invaded


Armstrong Economics Blog/America’s Economic History Re-Posted Nov 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

If anyone questions if Biden is actually being controlled from Geneva and this is the overthrow of the United States, just for once listen to the proposals from his nominee for the Comptroller of the Currency. This will be a full-blown overthrow of Capitalism – PERIOD! You will lose your savings, your jobs, and her proposal to end investment banking means the end of any new business to emerge from here on out. There will be nothing left – AT ALL! I know a lot of Democrats. Not a single one ever envision this is what would happen under Joe Biden. This is a scorched earth policy.

He is doing the same in Syria ordering strikes to create a war with Russia without any authority from Congress. At least 30 people from Capitol Hill, both Democrat, and Republican, sent a letter to Biden calling his actions on everything UNCONSTITUTIONAL and has circumvented Congress entirely!

The United States has been Invaded. This is no BS.

The Schwab Consortium Has Seized Control of the White House

Driver of SUV In Waukesha Christmas Parade Attack Identified – Darrell E Brooks, Black Male (39), From Milwaukee Wisconsin


Posted originally on the Conservative tree house on November 21, 2021 | Sundance | 333 Comments

With three independent eye witnesses {link}, and now confirmation from New York Post journalist Karol Markowicz {LINK}, we can confirm the suspect who was driving the maroon Ford Escape was a black male named: Darrell Edward Brooks Jr, 39 years-old, from Milwaukee Wisconsin.

[Screen Grab – Video Source] – [Mugshot Source]

Darrell Edward Brooks [aka Darrell Eugene Brooks, aka Quinton Feilcein] was seen driving the SUV into the crowd.  Twenty individuals were hit by the vehicle, some of them children.  There are fatalities.  Darrell Brooks was just released on a $1,000 cash bond November 19th, two days before his rampage. [Criminal Record Here]

Darrell Brooks was facing six charges related to domestic abuse, battery, disorderly conduct, bail jumping and resisting arrest.

Due to the race of the suspect and the likely motive, this was a race-based attack against white citizens in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in retaliation for the not guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case. It is almost certain the DOJ Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS) is now taking the lead on the case [SEE HERE].

Controlling information from local officials and media is what the CRS does with criminal cases that have a racial component.  CRS is the only federal agency dedicated to working with community groups to resolve community conflicts and prevent and respond to alleged hate crimes arising from differences of race. {link}  Hence, Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson told the media there would be no further comment until 1:00pm CT tomorrow.

Brooks posing in front of the SUV used in the attack – VIDEO SOURCE

Obviously, a black male suspect intentionally targeting a group of white victims is the worst case scenario for government and media who use race as a weapon to advance political ideology.  Additionally, the media’s racist fabrications around the Kyle Rittenhouse case are a key reason why there is so much racial animosity.   Government officials, politicians and media allies all used the Rittenhouse case to provoke racial strife.  The attack by Brooks is a direct consequence of their conduct.

The delay in further press releases provides the DOJ-CRS crisis response unit time to take full operational control over the messaging related to the Christmas parade attack.

Local law enforcement will be “guided” by federal officers from the DOJ-CRS and FBI.  Due to the sensitivity of the issues, the messaging will come directly from the DOJ-CRS through the local officials and public information officers.  The Waukesha police chief is black, the CRS will make him the face of their words.

The CRS, also known as the “Federal Peacekeepers”, will bring faith-based leaders to the forefront now; it’s their pattern.  The next appearance by investigative officials will contain preachers, ministers, and members of the faith community to try and blunt the racial motive.   The media will demand healing and forgiveness for the attack.

Obviously the media and political hypocrisy will be thick. If the races were reversed, it would be a full frontal assault on white males.  However, in this instance the narrative will be a demand to understand the mental frustration of a black male who has been victimized by the system and had no choice except to let out his anger.

The DOJ-CRS will also shape the information presented to media stakeholders who are also exposed by the motive of the attack.   The DOJ, DOJ-CRS, FBI, special interest groups and Big Tech allies will all work together to protect the media and politicians who manufactured the crisis that led to the racial attack.

Here are the details on the suspect:

Initial public briefing by Waukesha Mayor Shawn Reilly and Police Chief Daniel Thompson.

The mayor notes he has been contacted by the feds.

This is the announcement after the Community Relations Service instructs everyone to shut it down.  Note the CRS advice to have Thompson speak alone:
