NATO & Article 5


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Nov 17, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: NATO was considering the missile attack on Poland a Russian attack on NATO, article 5, but it was a Ukraine missile. Ukraine is not a NATO member. Should this not be treated similarly?
MAM

ANSWER: You have a good point. The problem is, they really want war with Russia. Hillary is a Neocon Democrat and John McCain was a Neocon Republican. That takes precedent and the social nonsense is just to dazzle people who think there is a difference. They are already claiming it was not intentional by Ukraine when it fact it was another attempt to create a false flag to drag NATO into the conflict.

Republicans Take the House


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Nov 16, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The Republican has won the House. It took more than a week for the Associated Press to determine the GOP had won the 218 seats necessary to control the chamber. Never in my entire life have I ever witnessed an election take this long to find out who won. This is all the paper absentee ballots where my own staff could right a national voting program in less than one month and you do not need the paper nonsense. Dead people will not be able to vote and there will be no harvesting of ballots.

While the press wants to portray this as an underwhelming performance for the Republicans when they should have won hands-down considering the national decline in confidence in Biden that normally would have worked to their advantage, the corruption in the election process has been itself unprecedented.

Our computer was correct – there would be no red wave. The report ($14.95) provided our Timing Arrays forecasting politics out for 12 years. The Republicans would take the House but not the Senate for this would be an extremely tight election due to the corruption. The whole point of the press calling for a red tidal wave was to make sure Republicans felt their vote was not needed so why bother? That was a strategy to keep that up in the press. I saw the same tactic was used to get Jimmie Carter elected. I remember that well for even I concluded it was so overwhelming I did not vote – they didn’t need me. Then you woke up with a surprise nobody expected.

This will now contribute to 2023 where we see rising civil unrest and the Republicans will bring impeachment proceedings against Biden and dive into the Hunter Laptop like never before. The Democrats are about to find out what goes around – comes around. All civility in politics has been tossed out the window.

This is the decline and fall of America. The country is now so divided, there is simply no possible way to ever bring it back to the middle. The Democrats still hate Trump and will push to discredit all Republicans using Trump. The hateful way politics has emerged ensures there is absolutely NOBODY on a white horse who will save the day. It will be soon to just turn out the lights.

Chuck Schumer: If We Can’t Have Babies, We Need Illegal Alien Workers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 16, 2022 | Sundance 

The Democrat left-wing policy platform includes unlimited abortion, denunciation of the traditional family, declarations that excessive populations create climate crisis and other less obvious points of advocacy that eliminate domestic population growth.  However, in order for left-wing politicians to continue advancing ridiculous ideological policy, they must pretend not to know things….  Here comes Senator Chuck Schumer.

During a pantomime script to advance the goal of amnesty for illegal aliens, Chuck Schumer pretends not to know his party agenda is to reduce the American workforce.  Now Senator Schumer claims the absence of a growing population is the reason why amnesty for illegal aliens must be accomplished.  WATCH (20 seconds):

.

The leftist arguments are so weak and built upon tenuous foundations of lies, they literally collapse when challenged or confronted.  This is why Democrats never want to debate their positions.  All of their policies are built upon hypocrisy, fraud and illogically false constructs.  Leftism demands the suspension of logic.

He’s Back, President Donald J Trump Officially Declares His Candidacy to Run for President in 2024


Posted Originally on the conservative tree house on November 16, 2022 | Sundance 

I have written and deleted a thousand words, repeatedly, in an effort to encapsulate what this moment means to me, and perhaps to others.  However, when you boil the essence of the thing down to its important part, you are left with a question: Which American politician loves this country more than Donald John Trump?

The honest answer is ‘no one’.

There’s not a force of man or nature as strong in its devotion to a mission, as Donald Trump is to this nation.  That’s the core, the heart, the genuine essence of the thing, that separates President Trump from all others.  Within that love of country, is a strength of determination that is almost uncanny to witness; and from that love of country an authenticity emanates that is impossible to duplicate.

Donald J Trump is, quite simply, unapologetically American – and tens of millions just love him for it.

Tonight, with his family by his side, President Donald Trump announced his intention to seek the GOP nomination in 2024 and run for President of the United States.

.

Yes, I don’t give a flying flip what any detractor of this nation might try to say, Donald Trump is exactly what we need.

Many people are exhausted from the battle to save this republic.  Many people are frustrated and despondent from the scale of the effort it takes to push back against the metastatic corruption that has infected our entire body politic.  Even more people are sick and tired of having to constantly look behind the duplicitous motives and conniving schemes of the professional political class who falsely claim to represent our interests.  For all of those people Trump kneels and says, ‘get on my back and rest for a moment’.

We don’t have to question his intentions; we do not have to doubt his motives; we do not have to worry about his goal with the America-First agenda.  We know when Trump succeeds, our lives and the lives of our family improves.  Period.

Now, contrast that feeling of deep assurance and Main Street economic stability against the reality of a current, conniving, self-interested Wall Street political class as the reference, and ask yourself what is that feeling of assurance worth?  It’s priceless.

You see, back in 2015 when Donald Trump first announced his intention to run for the presidency the following year, the assembly on these pages had spent years fighting against the corrupt republican political establishment while most just strolled by oblivious to it.  We assembled as The Last Refuge, and we immediately spotted the possibility Donald J Trump represented.

One of the first 2015 responses about Trump I shared to a friend who didn’t follow politics closely but was essentially and ally in outlook, was that Donald Trump could show up to the first GOP debate in 5″ heels and a Carmen Miranda hat and start dancing on Jeb Bush’s podium, and Trump would earn my vote.

I felt that way because I could see the cancerous rot that was destroying the working class and simultaneously infecting the Republican party.

Severe measures would be needed to counteract this Machiavellian political construct in DC that was only getting worse.  We needed a major disruption and Donald Trump was ideal for that role.

As I look at the 2024 landscape, what I see different is what I see better.  Just about everyone now sees the level of corruption that exists in the apparatus of government, thanks to President Trump’s first term in office.

Additionally, President Trump purged the conniving DeceptiCons, the duplicitous Republicans who existed to maintain the UniParty, by forcing the GOPe liars to expose themselves in his opposition.   No longer is a conversation needed to convince people that most politicians are part of one DC UniParty apparatus.  Two wings of the same corrupt vulture feeding on the carcass of our republic.  Everyone can see that now, thanks to Donald Trump.

Despite their refusal to accept reality, the Bush, Cheney, McConnell, McCain, Romney Republican Party is gone.  Donald Trump destroyed it.  The Republican Party will never again be the Bush-Romney Republican Party.  Donald Trump opened the door, and the working-class has moved in to take control.  The Republican party is not going back to the Bush/Romney outlook, regardless of how much Mitch McConnell tries to scheme its return.

We need a Big Ugly wrecking ball to unseat the corrupt power structures that Trump alone made visible. There is no other person in this era of our nation’s history with the capacity to do that.  Only Donald J Trump has the energy and fortitude to carry out this fight.

President Trump is the people’s response to The Great Reset by saying, “like hell you will.”

I would not miss this opportunity for anything.

I’m all in.

Zelensky the Liar – He Will Be Remembered by History like Hitler


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine Re-Posted Nov 16, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

At 8:18AM Zelensky on a video call to G20 leaders told them that Russia was a “terrorist state” among them and that the attack was deliberate by Russia and that the missiles were a “true statement brought by Russia for the G20 summit.”

It is now confirmed that the missiles were fired by Ukraine. To pretend it was not another “Ukrainian False Flag” they claimed the missiles were fired at a Russian missile and were not intentional. Forget saving the planet for climate change which is also a natural occurrence, the ONLY way to save the planet is to get rid of every Neocon and politician supporting this ruthless liar and remove them from office. Any politicians who supports Ukraine should be charged with conspiracy to create war crimes.

I agree with Henry Kissinger that Ukraine must relinquish the Donbas. Zelensky tears into Kissinger and pretends Russia wants to invade Europe and this is not 1939. I have had employees in Kyiv and Donestk. I am well aware of how deeply seated the hatred of Russians is embedded in Kyiv. You cannot even bring a bottle of Russian vodka to dinner. Anything Russian is an insult and deeply offends them. You have never seen such prejudice and hatred until you deal with Ukrainians. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing that Zelensky will not say to desperately engulf the entire world in his hatred of Russia.

There is NOTHING that Zelensky will ever say that should be taken as fact. The West ignored how as soon as the 2014 Revolution took place, they began their civil war against the Donbas and they began killing Russian civilians on the street of Odesa. NOBODY in the West has EVER even talked about the war crimes of Ukrainians.

I know of two French soldiers who went to Ukraine to fight for freedom and left because of the hatred and war crimes with Ukrainians murdering and torturing Russian soldiers they captured. How about crucifying Russian soldiers and then burning them alive? That is not a war crime?

There is no solution. As long as the West keeps up this proxy war against Russia, there will be World War III and you will find a lot more countries coming to Russia’s side because of the hypocrisy and lies from Zelensky. Throughout the region, even in Macedonia, the people favor Russia because they know what I know about Ukraine and the seething hatred that blinds the country. In Serbia the same. The neighbors of Ukraine know them very well. I have warned, there is a very dark side to Ukraine.

Zelensky has supported the Ukrainian Neo-Nazis who have been protected by the American Neocons. The Ukrainian Neo-Nazis even bragged that they feed the bones of Russian-speaking children to their pet wolves. Zelensky could have easily resolved this entire crisis by honoring the Minsk Agreement and letting the Russian Donbas vote – the very people Zelensky and his Neo-Nazis hate so much. He knows what he is doing by constantly trying to get NATO to enter Ukraine which will be World War III. He said the world should join Ukraine to kill all the Russians because World War III has already started. He will go down in history as someone up there with Adolf Hitler when the dust settles. He wants all our children to die for his personal hatred. He wants to destroy all of our world peace that has been forged since World War II and he wants us to lose our way of life all for his hatred. Pushing Russia against the wall will only lead to Nuclear War. An animal cornered fights to the death. Zelensky has divided the entire world.

Zelensky’s lies will catch up to him and his reign of terror will most likely end by 2025, but he will probably take all of Ukraine with him. We should be mindful that this all goes crazy next year. His lies to create World War III will in the end destroy Ukraine.

Russia Denies they Were Their Missiles


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine Re-Posted Nov 15, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Russia has come out and denied that their missiles entered Poland. It is time the West calls out Zelensky for what he is – a ruthless liar who should be removed from power to save humanity – forget the planet. I warned from the outset, this would be the man who will create World War III. He is a total disgrace. He has done nothing but lies to the world EVERY SINGLE TIME. Any Western Media who supports Zelensky are puppets of the deep state and are NOT independent journalists. If they did their job. they would report the truth.

The Ukrainians shot down the Malaysian flight MH17 and tried to blame the Russians in the Donbas. They used an old Russian missile that was no longer in use.  The Ukrainians killed their own people to create a false flag before at Bucha. They massacred Russian civilians in Odessa in May and the West was silent. Those who went to Ukraine believing they were fighting for democracy have returned accusing Ukraine of carrying out war crimes.

Besides Zelensky outlawing the Russian language when the people of Eastern Ukraine are ethnic Russians who have lived there for centuries and Ukraine NEVER existed before the USSR,  he has also carried out a Holy War outlawing Russian churches and demanding they are not subservient to Kyiv. They is no different from the French seizure of the Vatican and moving it to Avinion – the period of the anti-popes. He has done the same thing and outlawed the equivalent of the pope to Russian Orthodox. He has not just denied democracy by rejecting the Belgrade and Minsk Agreements where the Donbas was to vote for their own independence, but he has even denied them the Freedom of Religion.

This is the man who is destroying the world and the West cheers this character? Every newspaper that cheers the death of people on the battlefield and civilians all to support this ruthless greedy character, has washed their hands in blood. They should put on their high heels to join him on the world stage. Claiming they cannot “independently” confirm is not good enough They are COVERING UP the Truth.

Biden Asks Lame Duck Congress to Quickly Expedite Another $38 Billion for Ukraine Plus $9 Billion for Big Pharma


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 15, 2022 | Sundance

The White House is urging Nancy Pelosi to utilize the lame duck congressional session and construct a massive omnibus spending bill that will wrap Ukraine funding, COVID spending and a federal budget extension via continuous resolution.  The request for Ukraine funding is an additional $38 billion.

Federal funds to support FEMA and hurricane recovery efforts will likely be part of the bargaining chips. Essentially, the sausage ingredients are: if congress doesn’t give Zelenskyy more money, then DeSantis will not get federal financial assistance.

If you don’t support Ukraine, you’re a Russian operative.

WASHINGTON DC – The Biden administration sent a letter to Congress on Tuesday outlining nearly a $38 billion request to help Ukraine continue fending off Russian attacks.

The administration is also asking for $10 billion in emergency health funding, with more than $9 billion going toward Covid vaccine access, next-generation Covid vaccines, long Covid research and more. About $750 million would be spent on efforts to control the spread of monkeypox, hepatitis C and HIV.

Congress has so far provided about $66 billion for Ukraine and other war-related needs. The administration argues that about three-quarters of that funding has either been spent or is committed to specific purposes.

An administration official said the White House plans to request additional disaster relief in the coming weeks to help with hurricane and wildfire recovery but didn’t provide any tentative figure.

The administration’s request for emergency money comes as appropriators aim to clinch a year-end government funding deal that would stave off a partial government shutdown on Dec. 16 and increase agency budgets for the current fiscal year. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has already promised to provide more money for Ukraine in a government funding package, while some conservatives are arguing that the U.S. should cut off financial assistance and assess how funding for the country has been spent to date. (read more)

Governor Ron DeSantis Responds to Questions About Donald Trump by Focusing on His State Level Accomplishments


Posted originally on the conservative tree house November 15, 2022

During a press conference earlier today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was asked about the potential for conflict between him and President Donald Trump as cast against the 2024 election.

I’m not going to inject too much opinion into the answers as presented, because the Florida Governor is remaining coy with his 2024 intention.  While all of the indicators are clearly visible that DeSantis has been participating on the 2024 operation since July this year, it would be against his management team interests for Floridians to see him admitting to an early exit.  WATCH:

.

The management team around DeSantis need him to remain cloistered, while the media and advocacy machinery they have constructed (and continue to finance) does the attacking against MAGA leader Donald Trump.  If the Big Club discussions were to surface publicly, the bloom would quickly fall from the ruse.

Just keep watching, and we will keep pointing out the connections.
