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.

Harvard Business School, which has a virtual 100% vaccinated obedient staff raising serious questions about hiring people who do not question government, had to shut because of rampant COVID outbreak. Bon Jovi, also 100% vaccinated, had to cancel his tour after testing positive for COVID. Then our favorite cheerleader of propaganda, Psaki, also fully vaccinated, now has COVID. Sources are saying that 25% of White House staff have COVID. Now Gates & Big Pharma are telling the vaccinated to get the boosters. This will NEVER end!
Then Canada’s contribution to the world of stupid political heads of state, the fabulous Trudeau, told the G20 he would donate $200 million in vaccines to the rest of the world. Sources at the summit said they were actually buying Gates’ BS that vaccinating the entire world will eliminate COVID. The level of stupidity here is off the charts. The Toronto Zoo is even vaccinating its animals against COVID. Anyone who ever went to health class in high school should have learned that viruses that coexist in animals can never be cured. They have a major reservoir to mutate and that is COVID’s longevity. This entire panic Gates and Big Pharma have created will propel Gates to become the richest man in world history. They stand to make $100 billion next year alone and they are already pushing that you will need vaccines every 6 to 8 months to retain freedom.
At this point, I think my dog is smarter than these world leaders in the room at G20. They should call it the G20 Mickey Mouse Club. My family got COVID and survived. I probably had it, was short of breath walking up and downstairs, but tested negative five times and the head of Tampa hospital said I probably had COVID because the tests were invalid. A second doctor said the same thing. I survived.
Denying liberty to the unvaccinated is discrimination when even the vaccinated can still get it and spread it all by themselves.
Abbott & Costello’s famous skit “Who’s on First Base.” Updated to COVID:
Bud: ‘You can’t come in here!’
Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Well because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick.’
Bud: ‘It doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘Well, why does that guy get to go in?’
Bud: ‘Because he’s vaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But he’s sick!’
Bud: ‘It’s alright. Everyone in here is vaccinated.’
Lou: ‘Wait a minute. Are you saying everyone in there is vaccinated?’
Bud: ‘Yes.’
Lou: ‘So then why can’t I go in there if everyone is vaccinated?’
Bud: ‘Because you’ll make them sick.’
Lou: ‘How will I make them sick if I’m NOT sick and they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘But they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘So what the heck does the vaccine do?’
Bud: ‘It vaccinates.’
Lou: ‘So vaccinated people can’t spread covid?’
Bud: ‘Oh no. They can spread covid just as easily as an unvaccinated person.’
Lou: ‘I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. Look. I’m not sick.
Bud: ‘Ok.’
Lou: ‘And the guy you let in IS sick.’
Bud: ‘That’s right.’
Lou: ‘And everybody in there can still get sick even though they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Certainly.’
Lou: ‘So why can’t I go in again?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘I’m not asking who’s vaccinated or not!’
Bud: ‘I’m just telling you how it is.’
Lou: ‘Nevermind. I’ll just put on my mask.’
Bud: ‘That’s fine.’
Lou: ‘Now I can go in?’
Bud: ‘Absolutely not?’
Lou: ‘But I have a mask!’
Bud: ‘Doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘I was able to come in here yesterday with a mask.’
Bud: ‘I know.’
Lou: So why can’t I come in here today with a mask? ….If you say ‘because I’m unvaccinated’ again, I’ll break your arm.’
Bud: ‘Take it easy buddy.’
Lou: ‘So the mask is no good anymore.’
Bud: ‘No, it’s still good.’
Lou: ‘But I can’t come in?’
Bud: ‘Correct.’
Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But the mask prevents the germs from getting out.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but people can still catch your germs.’
Lou: ‘But they’re all vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick!!’
Bud: ‘You can still get them sick.’
Lou: ‘So then masks don’t work!’
Bud: ‘Masks work quite well.’
Lou: ‘So how in the heck can I get vaccinated people sick if I’m not sick and masks work?’
Bud: ‘Third base.
Snap Crackle and Pop
A Prophecy for the Future
The gnomes of Snap Crackle, and Pop have new meaning in the 21st century, a far cry from their inception, but perhaps more momentous.
***
By Tabitha Korol
Who could have imagined in 1933, when The Kellogg Company invented the advertising gnomes, SNAP, CRACKLE, and POP for its Rice Krispies cereal, that the words would be prescient for the early 21st century? Kellogg’s words merely evoked the sounds of the product’s bursting in milk, but today they could be applied to no less a calamity than the demise of Western culture.
SNAP – The sudden sound of a break
1933was our worst depression year. We had prohibition, bootlegging, speakeasies, and people travelling roads and rails in search of work, as in Steinbeck’s world Of Mice and Men. The 21st Amendment to our Constitution was ratified to return to the States the power to regulate the sales of alcohol and restore freedom of choice to the public. By 1938, Winston Churchill was calling upon the US to prepare for armed resistance against Adolph Hitler, although our majority preferred neutrality. We supported the British Commonwealth and officially entered the war in 1941, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In ‘42, the World War became official. Our citizens mobilized for the war effort, and we were a nation united in common cause. In the same year The Declaration of the United Nations was signed by 26 nations.
Our entry into WW II caused vast changes in every aspect of American life. Men and women joined our military services and labor force, and by war’s end, we were in better economic condition than any other country in the world. We became affluent, veterans were attending college on the GI Bill of Rights, and people were marrying and growing families. We were a strong, happy, powerful and culturally-unified country, overwhelmingly good and generous, with a center-right middle class that was proud to have helped win the war against the world’s evil despots. But, as author David Kupelian explained in his book, The Snapping of the American Mind, something happened.
By the time our troops returned home from fighting communism in Vietnam, they discovered that the enemy ideology was entrenched in our own society. The Marxists of the Frankfurt School were busy making the “long march through our institutions,” establishing their pernicious Critical Theory that has since spawned the Critical Race Theory. Our children were being taught to rebel against God, the Ten Commandments, the Constitution of the United States, and our Judeo-Christian principles, while also sanctioning murder, theft, adultery, sex outside of marriage, and the equity of social justice.
They penetrated our society through media, Hollywood, churches, and corporations, to destroy American exceptionalism, our history, progress, and universal moral values that unified us and made us great. Sixty-nine million Americans were driven to elect a black President Obama, despite his diehard Marxist goals, to prove we were not racist, and communism surreptitiously permeated the next generation. The lies and accusations used against President Trump were their way of demeaning him in the eyes of the public; the left had no agenda to otherwise woo the voters.
CRACKLE – Shatter, to become covered with a network of fine cracks
We have been cracking apart into conflicting tribes defined by skin color, sexuality, financial success, religion, fear, and envy. Half our population is deranged with a philosophy that has turned them against our laws, our civilization, how we identify ourselves, and in denial that we had formed for ourselves a great and welcoming nation. We now have a generation that has no regard for morals or virtue, for truth or our historical memory, for behavioral boundaries or, in fact, for the physical boundaries that define our nation’s sovereignty.
The ultimate goal of Communism is to build a society that owes allegiance to the State above all else – above the love of God and family. The goal will be achieved when people even forget that a demolition once occurred.
Our language is under attack because corrupt words produce corrupt thinking. Some words are outright banned; others redefined, suppressed, and replaced by inconceivable concepts and euphemisms for public acceptance. Our children are victims of leftist ideologists, immersed in bigotry and sexuality (Critical Race Theory), which are known to cause irreparable emotional damage while our government calls the dedicated parents “extremists,” and allows jihadis and criminals to enter and vanish.
People across the globe are driven to worry and submission to the regime. Gratitude has made way to demands for entitlements, tolerance for demands by the intolerant. Rights are demanded, responsibilities scorned. Freedom of speech has been quashed; racism and hate have become respectable. The fearful and foolish have allowed themselves to be hoodwinked, robbed of their faith and Constitution, and controlled by debilitating dread, depression, addictions and suicide.
Our people have been threatened and paralyzed by the fear of a viral illness created in Wuhan, China, with significant American collaboration and money. Young and old were intimidated into self-imprisonment; to wear masks that inhibited their necessary oxygen intake and communication; to accepting injections whose substances and metallic parasites were considered “trade secrets.” Although physicians and scientists declared Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to be FDA-approved and perfectly safe as prophylaxis and cures, they were denounced and prohibited by the media, pharmacological corporations, and hospitals for reasons of financial profit. Those who resist the procedures are denounced, fired from their jobs, restricted from certain establishments, penalized, treated as pariahs – our modern-day lepers – and our formerly benign society becomes malignant.
POP – The sound of explosion, the flashpoint, zero hour. The components for us today:
The Wuhan virus and the pursuit of control through obligatory international “immunization.” The innocuous-sounding “gain of function,” which is nothing less than the biological research aimed at increasing the virulence and lethality of pathogens and viruses, and the suppression of adverse reaction reports. Students and the military being coerced to accept the vaccinations – “medical rape.”
Repeated lockdowns and restrictions that led to Illness and death, businesses closed and farming communities nearing extinction due to globalization and substantial welfare checks that discourage a returning workforce; political polarization; corporate farming with technology; financial struggles and alarming suicide rates, with the greatest increase being within the 15-24 age bracket, anonymous victims of the Wuhan virus.
Phasing out our fossil fuels has endangered our oil industry and sent gas prices through the roof. Biden wants trains to replace automobiles.
Overt destabilization of our economy and an increase in overall control by the elite for the purpose of permanently destroying our free and thriving capitalist republic for communist and Islamist tyranny.
Two million migrants predicted toinvade the US this year alone.
A stolen electionand representation in government.
The individual’s dignity and rights guaranteed by the Ten Commandments and our Bill of Rights stolen.
Leftist propaganda turning minds of children away from family, morality and country, despite parental objection; a severe increase in crime. Schools to introduce pre-K classes for earlier child control.
Minds and bodies attacked as the schools encourage gender dysphoria, homosexuality – even transgenderism – again defying the parents.
de-Pop – depopulation, reduction or expulsion of inhabitants
Kellogg’s imps are, of course, coincidental, but the Kellogg Corporation, wittingly or not, is encouraging America’s destruction with its new spiritual warfare against our children. Their new cereal boxes are promoting and supporting LGBTQs, suggesting children create new pronouns, thereby underscoring the perversions of the leftist classrooms, the waning normalcy of their parents’ and grandparents’ generations, and actual physical harm to children’s privacy and bodies. The demands for these new human rights of requiring that people accept untruths for reality, lying about what we see, come at the expense of others’ human rights.
Consider how our world has been changing and Kellogg’s has entered into the arena, pandering to the woke communities, even at its own expense. Granted, slipping sales are seen in other packaged food companies as well, but it appears that the company is inflicting harm upon itself. By devaluing family life and emphasizing the deviations from our moral society, it is destroying our children, its biggest customer base. Kellogg’s joins the insanity of the globalists’ dream of depopulation.

The Target Generation – Prologue to Tyranny.
by Tabitha Korol
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. – Abraham Lincoln. The weapon in use by the left is Critical Race Theory.
***
I received an emailed flyer, an announcement from an educator, its opening sentence an inquiry asking if we were aware of our biases, attitudes and stereotypes. It reminded me of that unanswerable question, “Have you stopped beating your wife?” Both a “yes” and a “no” condemn.
I received an emailed flyer, an announcement from an educator, its opening sentence an inquiry asking if we were aware of our biases, attitudes and stereotypes. It reminded me of that unanswerable question, “Have you stopped beating your wife?” Both a “yes” and a “no” condemn.
This was an outreach to a course that would introduce us to Critical Race Theory (CRT), an anti-American and anti-white/Christian movement that is making great strides through our schools (K-12 plus higher education), our media, news sources, and armed services. CRT is a Marxist discipline that, by identifying biases and prejudices, regardless of whether they actually exist, sows the seeds of hatred and division, capturing and training the minds of many to fixate on the meaningless and disengage from what truly matters – a good education to navigate and live well in the world. With only so many hours in the day, the old lessons are being laid aside to allow for the divisiveness to flourish, teaching that there are only two kinds of people, victims and victimizers, oppressed and oppressors, the downtrodden people of color and the exalted, advantaged whites. There are no winners in this dogma; that’s not the intent.
An associate professor of psychology at a Florida college will be leading the class described as a workshop about Implicit Bias (IB), an unconscious bias toward an individual or group based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The workshop will attempt todefine Implicit Bias; examine its origins; review its effect in education, justice, and management systems; and offer additional resources for studying and evaluating personal Implicit Bias. The monster is conjured out of thin air and the professors will help us slay it – for a fee and political motive.
Prior to the introduction of these ideas, people of all ages befriended each other because of common interests and circumstances, which is verifiable by the ever-increasing number of intermarriages and the variety of ethnicities in the workplace and neighborhoods. But these superficial differences must now be taught in order to denigrate and demolish the past and make way for a new society of compliant drones.
Left to our own, we naturally form opinions over the years because of our experiences and influences, not unreasonably. As we grow and live, we are expected to face options and make decisions – our selection of activities, friends, reading material, schools, careers and jobs, marriage partners, homes, stores we patronize and items we purchase – everything! That doesn’t mean our opinions are set in stone, as each new contact or experience may affect a previous view, but it is expected that by the time anyone reaches adulthood, (s)he should have amassed an immeasurable number of ideas about almost everything. Sacha Guitrey is credited for saying “Wisdom comes from experience, and our experiences come from our foolishness.”
But this class purports to be superior to a mere conveyance for wisdom. It is, ominously, a means of manipulating ideas and behaviors, teaching that one’s encounters and ideas must not be accepted carte blanche, that we must disregard our senses and allow others to control the narrative for the greater good. The so-called “noble purpose” is always wielded to gain control.
This insidious theoryeradicates our G-d-given free will and aims to turn us into mindless, malleable, and obedient subjects of the powerful elite. If we cannot validate our own opinions, then what have we learned at all? Should we live day by day and remain incapable of assessing anything? Should we be so fearful of opining that conversation is discouraged? And if we think and act alike, would we not have sameness instead of diversity, boredom instead of variety, stagnation instead of the individual’s growth and the satisfaction that comes throughtalent and achievement? But in the world of CRT, talent and achievement must be neutralizedfor the sake of uniformity and in the dubious interest of equity – equality of outcome. Call it what they will, this would result in the dominion of tyranny.
Surely, we must learn to judge whether something or someone is good or evil, right or wrong, fair or unjust, so that we might live in harmony with our fellow man. If we are wrong to judge, then we are as mindless as the lowly amoeba. God meant us to use our free will and to think, consider the options, and decide our own paths. We are meant to weigh what to do under various circumstances, including to run from danger, but also to help others in need. The Commandments caution to not bear false witness, but in order to protect others and contribute to a moral society, we must certainly bear witness.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., advised that we shall judge people by the content of their character. Today’s Woke authoritarians judge by the color of one’s skin – a superficiality that accords with the selective extermination program of Hitler’s imperialists.
The course invitation has a negative overtone, using “bias” instead of “opinion” to put us on the defensive and shut us down. This results in our backing off lest we utter something that will be criticized, just as the Woke politicos have curbed our thoughts, redefined much in our vocabulary, and limited the interchange of ideas on the Internet. The purpose is to make people feel vulnerable and defensive, choosing to retreat and comply for acceptance, With all the fearmongering surrounding the covid virus, wearing masks that shroud our expressions, the nearly-mandatory injections while suppressing medicines proven effective, threats of job loss and isolation, there come more control and the surrender of freedom in the name of security.
I admit to not having the lesson plan, but CRT is based on introducing ways of making people ashamed of what they are, thereby allowing themselves to be intimidated and controlled.
There are many ways of achieving control. Islam does so by keeping its people suppressed and ignorant; Nazism did so by exalting a certain group to the level of ubermenschen/supermen. The ultimate cost to both groups is the loss of humanity.
In America, the first among nations to legalize freedom and equality for all, we have a group of progressives, Marxists, that is working diligently to dominate our society. The Boards of Education have changed the history books to discredit America and erase the ideals we set for ourselves. The learning process has been so destroyed that we have finally reached a point where Oregon’s Governor Kate Brown signed into law that students may graduate without proof that they can read, write, or do math. Students across America are being prepared for nothing but submission to the state for menial, mindless labor and communist social-justice issues.
With the dwindling threat of climate change, since alarming deadlines passed with no discernible disaster, the biases of personal characteristics are always the go-to guarantor of success. Skin color and religion are the indictments as current today as they’ve been in the past, the attributes that the undereducated respond to most readily. Presented in every class, all day long, the children are submerged in their differences, what demeans and makes groups vulnerable, each in its own way. The pupils of color are taught that they are worthless victims of the whites, and the whites are taught that they are innately evil and the cause of all wrongdoings. Everyone is deemed without value and burdened with anxietyabout what it takes to undo their inferiority and liability. Having already been deprived of God and prayers, of the cohesive family, their heritage, their genders, their desires and ability to produce the next generation, they become willing to self-annihilate, if not yet literally, then figuratively to be the last of their lineage.
If they’ve dropped climate change, they discuss over-population, with Bill Gates’s assurance that he hopes to depopulate the world and has the means to do it.
Fears abound: the dangers of food scarcity, while stipulating that we should not be eating beef and its dairy products, chicken and fish. There’s always vegetarianism, except that Gates and China have purchased enormous acreage of agricultural land. Gates says we will eat engineered meat from insects, or the migrants who come by the tens of thousands – shades of Soylent Green.
The elite have found their niche, and they’re playing it for all its worth. The young are the Target Generation.

The World Of PC/WOKE
Armstrong Economics Blog/Politically Correct Re-Posted Sep 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
Ok, now they are saying we should no longer refer to incidents with sharks as an “attack.” That unfairly demonizes them as killers. Instead, we should refer to such incidents as an “encounter.” So if someone kills another at gunpoint in a robbery, he is not a killer, it was just an encounter. Interesting logic since a shark is not a ruthless killer; it is just hungry. So a thief is not a robber; he is a materially deprived person entitled to what you have because “equality” makes it just.
