Using Global Capital Flow Heat Map


Armstrong Economics Blog/Capital Flow Re-Posted Aug 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: My question is how do I interpret an increase of 5% or more in the capital flows heat map to any country? Does this mean the stock market is projected to go up? the currency? how I am supposed to interpret it?  How I am supposed to interpret it. Can you give me please some examples?

I have been trying to figure it out for a long time now

ANSWER: Our Global Capital Flow Heat Map tracing the money flows in and out of nations. It is collective and includes moving cash, buying bonds, real estate, and equities. It is the overview you will get nowhere else.  It is not forecasting anything specific. What it is doing is showing the major trend. You then look at the various individual reports in that region.

You will find all the major sectors in Socrates from bonds and stock to real estate. Just comparing our US and German real estate indexes, you can see the difference in capital flows which are reflected in the heat map. The Map clearly shows that capital is pouring out of Europe and it is even moving back to China and Russia. Europe is squarely in the hands of the World Economic Forum and the intention to crush the economy to BUILD BACK BETTER is in full swing. Europe will be the first to fall in the world.

Oregon Governor Drops Reading, Writing and Math Proficiency Standards For High School Graduation, Office Says it will Help People of Color


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 9, 2021 | Sundance | 276 Comments

This is called ‘the soft bigotry of low expectations‘.   Oregon Governor Kate Brown has cancelled the proficiency standards for reading, writing and math from High School graduation requirements.

The governors office says “suspending the reading, writing and math proficiency requirements … will benefit “Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

In essence, the students of color are not smart enough to learn reading, writing or math – so they shouldn’t be expected to read, write or understand mathematics.

Kate Brown looks, sounds and acts like a typical left-wing moonbat.  It’s hard to imagine a state governor saying the minority students in the state are not smart enough to pass proficiency standards; thereby signaling her extreme racist perspectives- and gaining cheers from her leftist tribe; yet here we are.

OREGON – […] Through a spokesperson, the governor declined again Friday to comment on the law and why she supported suspending the proficiency requirements.

Brown’s decision was not public until recently, because her office did not hold a signing ceremony or issue a press release and the fact that the governor signed the bill was not entered into the legislative database until July 29, a departure from the normal practice of updating the public database the same day a bill is signed.

The Oregonian/OregonLive asked the governor’s office when Brown’s staff notified the Legislature that she had signed the bill. Charles Boyle, the governor’s deputy communications director, said the governor’s staff notified legislative staff the same day the governor signed the bill.  (read more)

Joe Biden Releases Official Statement Gleefully Supporting Forced Vaccinations of U.S. Military


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 9, 2021 | Sundance | 647 Comments

The White House will not require their federal staff to be vaccinated (LINK).  The CDC, NIH and FDA will not require their agency staff or federal employees to be vaccinated.  However, the White House, NIH, FDA and the CDC support the forced vaccination of U.S. military service-members.

Anyone else find that odd?

(SOURCE LINK)

The Obama people are pretty smart on this.  They can use the avatar of Joe Biden to push much further than they would if Obama was on point and visible.  Essentially they can use Biden to push just about anything, at any extreme, because he is entirely disposable.   Joe Biden is both jetsam and flotsam at the same time.

A very unique and devious dynamic.

Papers Please, Today French Police Begin Demanding COVID Vaccination ID For Citizens Outside


Posted Originally on the conservative tree house on August 9, 2021 | Sundance | 204 Comments

Today was the deadline for citizens of France to carry their vaccination ID if they want to participate in society.   Citizens of France are required to carry their identification if they want to eat a restaurants, go to shopping malls or attend venues where crowds would gather.  [MSM CITATION HERE] Videos of the French police conducting random checks and checkpoints are surfacing.  WATCH:

As we noted last month when this was announced, France is the beta-test.  The U.S. State Department and French government have a long history of cooperation and testing for political and social change.

This will be coming soon to New York City (previously announced), and from there to towns and local communities across the United States.

.

JULY 13, 2021 – “I have no doubt, none whatsoever, that French officials and U.S. officials are closely discussing this approach in closed-door meetings.  France is being used as a test ground in a similar way the Rivkin Project was deployed.

Despite the wide social differences, at their core French nationalists are close in ideological alignment to Americans.  France is one of the few states left in Western Europe with the remnant of a national consciousness.” (link)

Rand Paul Says Enough is Enough, We The People Withdraw Our Consent

..”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 overwhelming majority of dictates around COVID-19 mitigation are not laws, they are rules created by un-elected bureaucrats.  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 must remain inherent. The removal of liberty requires consent.

Senator and Doctor Rand Paul (R-KY) stands to say we are now at a crossroads; at a moment of truth, and he will help lead the effort to withdraw consent if the federal government continues attempting to restrict liberty based around false, misleading and manipulated science.  WATCH:

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.

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.

There is damage behind the masks, the soulless eyes, the lack of smiles and the absence of joy.  We must 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.  Look around, there are people working valiantly with great purpose, support them. 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.   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.

Must See – Family Medical Physician Dr Dan Stock Delivers an Important Message to Mount Vernon School Board About Coronavirus


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 9, 2021 | Sundance | 324 Comments

Family medical physician Dr. Dan Stock delivers a six minute lecture to the Mount Vernon School Board about corona-viruses in general and COVID-19 specifically.  This is one of the best compacted encapsulations of medical science and common sense that I have seen.

Dr Stock is informing and educating the school board about how coronaviruses impact health, and specifically why the current COVID-19 virus mitigation efforts are futile.  This video is not likely to remain on-line for long.  Hopefully many will see it before it is removed.  WATCH:

What Dr. Stock outlines is supported by all of the current scientific research amid the non-political medical community.  Citations Below:

On Friday, August 7th Dr. Dan Stock addressed the Mt. Vernon School Board in Indiana over the futility of mask mandates and Covid-19 protocols in most schools. In his presentation, he references a flash drive he gave the school board members to review with all of the scientific literature he referenced.

COVID Pandemic Can Never End Because 50% of People Have Been Vaccinated


Armstrong Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Aug 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Nearly 50% of those who have COVID in Israel were fully vaccinated. The significance of this overlooked detail is that getting vaccinated will NOT STOP COVID. This means there will NEVER be a return to normal – it is impossible. A staff member went to a party in Miami and returned with the Delta COVID. At 25, she was sick with mild flu symptoms for 3 days – end of the story. The media continues to terrorize people and New York City has decreed that UNVACCINATED can not go out to dinner or go to any play. But is COVID is among the vaccinated, then what is the point?

More importantly, COVID is a respiratory virus. All attempts to create vaccines for coronavirus have failed. Most important is that such respiratory viruses come in the fall for that is when exposure to sun declines (Vitamin D). Because we have had a surge among vaccinated people in the middle of summer, this is a serious WARNING that this virus is highly unusual and the vaccines are c creating a serious health issue.

This is very important to listen to because the information coming from the NIH, CDC, etc, is tainted and this is all supporting the agenda of Bill Gates and they are not protecting the people because they look to Gates for additional funding. Ther FactCheckers are not independent and CNN has already been caught saying that they create FEAR because FEAR sells! Researches in UK and Italy have found that Cholesterol drug cuts coronavirus infection by 70%. Nevertheless, the bureaucracy is fulling in the hands of Gates and they are rejecting any attempt to help people that compete against their vaccines.

When Emperor Aurelian came to power, he sent in his troops to confront the bureaucrats in Rome who debased the coinage because they were robbing the treasury of silver. In the process, 7,000 people died in this battle against the bureaucratic corruption that invested Rome. This will come to that one day. The corruption in these agencies is off the charts.

From the very beginning, Gates has been pitching that the vaccines will eliminate COVID-19. This has been proven to be completely false. So why are we locking down economies, and destroy our future because of a virus that is the equivalent of the flu? Gates and his vaccine companies in which he has a HUGE financial interest are dominating our future and if he benefits by just $1 per shot for the world, that is $7 billion+. Ther are pushing booster shots now around the world be use they are not working so you just keep them coming. Now they are saying you may need 5 shots. This is like medieval medicine. Keep bleeding you until you die and blame the disease. He stands to make far more money than anyone ever in history.

Worse still, this virus was most likely engineered and as such, it is mutating rapidly. Just as there has been over-use of antibiotics and the emergence of diseases that defeat all of our antibiotics, what Gates has been pushing as vaccines are already becoming ineffective. A number of models considering the rapid mutations imply that the dynamics of the spread of a vaccine-resistant strain in the population are increasing dramatically. This may pose a greater risk than COVID come 2022. It is unlikely that there will be any success to developed new vaccines to meet every new mutation. There are others starting to look at this issue of new mutating strains that are already resistant to Gates’ miracle vaccines.

What has been unleashed on the world by those seeking to BUILD BACK BETTER to alter the world economy for climate change,  just may have opened Pandora’s Box and set free upon the world an engineered virus that is far more capable of mutating faster than any before it. Only time will answer that question.

THERE IS NO POINT TO VACCINATION

SINCE WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO NORMAL UNTIL IT IS ZERO%

JUST LIKE CO2

Which is IMPOSSIBLE

Pfizer’s Immunity & Monopoly?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Aug 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

There really was no regulation to speak of when it came to medicine prior to the 20th century. The Food and Drug Administration was not created until 1906 which was followed by the Federal Trade Commission in 1914. Before then. there really were no restrictions on the types of claims that could be made about medication safety or effectiveness, nor were there limitations on the ingredients that marketed remedies could contain. Many included opium, cocaine, and alcohol. This was fairly common in bottled medicines. There was no requirement to even purchase something without a prescription.

Freedom from the need to prove safety and efficacy back then existed as it does once again today. However, that did not mean manufacturers were also immune from patent lawsuits. Then because of the Civil War, the government began to tax medicines in 1862 and this is where we find “revenue stamps” being printed privately by the manufacturer,  that were affixed to
pre-bottled medications to designate payment of a tax on the product.

Revenue stamps had been required for certain types of documents and for bottled liquor since the 18th century, but the use of these stamps was expanded because of the c Civil War to include playing cards, matches, tobacco, patent (proprietary) medicines, perfume, and other “luxuries” the government could think of.

The total IMMUNITY for drug companies, known as the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, was put into place in 1986 to encourage the development of vaccines, a mainstay of the nation’s public health policy. The lawsuits against vaccine makers in the 1970s and 1980s led to them claiming they would stop making vaccines because the lawsuits made it a low-profit business, creating a public-health scare orchestrated by paying Compagnie contributions to key legislators.

What has taken place now is absolutely criminal. This COVID rollout is just without any integrity whatsoever. Cyclically, it appears this immunity may blow up in the face by 2029. The abuse that these companies are wielding with the help of Bill Gates is outright genocide. It has come out that immunity is no longer good enough. They have become so greedy, they are now causing the deaths of countless people by having in their contracts that governments MAY NOT provide remedies at the expense of the vaccine companies. Even if they allow remedies to save people’s lives, the contracts they are forcing nations to sign make it clear that they are to be PAID even if a nation resorts to a remedy that is effective.

Pfizer fought to hide their contracts from the public. They state:

“If you were wondering why Ivermectin was suppressed, it is because the agreement that countries had with Pfizer does not allow them to escape their contract, which states that even if a drug will be found to treat COVID-19, the contract cannot be voided.”

This is not only criminal, it violates the Anti-Trust Act and ensures that Gates and his crew have not just 100% IMMUNITY, but also a MONOPOLY. The mainstream press has sold out humanity all because they hated Trump and have had to defend these vaccines for political reasons.

Meanwhile, Pfizer and Moderna both raised prices in union. Anyone else would have their companies shut down for violating the Anti-Trust Act. The claimed that they have to spend so much money on development is also a flat outright lie. Moderna admitted it took them just 2 days to come up with their vaccine.

VACCINATED STILL VULNERABLE

Now it is clear that the vaccine does NOTHING and this entire scam has destroyed people’s livelihoods and sent inflation soaring. Even Lindsey Graham, who was fully vaccinated, caught COVID, and all the results show that they can spread it as if they were not vaccinated. So even if 100% of the world were vaccinated, there will NEVER be the end of this virus and there is NO WAY society will EVER go back to normal as long as governments listen to this nonsense.

If patients have adverse reactions to the vaccine and require medical care, as is taking place by the thousands,  they will not have special protections against those charges. If a visit for a vaccine requires blood to be drawn or discusses pre-existing conditions with a provider, that is not covered.

Communication is Vital to Empires & History Always Repeats


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ancient History Re-Posted Aug 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Rome became the greatest empire that ever existed because of its organization, which included its communication system. Here we have a Roman sestertius of Emperor Nerva (96-98 AD) who issued this coin to declare that Rome would assume the costs of the imperial post, which had been shifted to the municipalities slowing communications. Clearly, the idea of the Pony Express we hear associated with the Wild West days of the United States was by no means a new invention. As much as things change, they remain very much the same. History repeats because the passions of humankind never change. But also the solution to the same problem always reappears.

Indeed, the roads were built by Rome to move conquering armies and to facilitate communications and supplies from one end of Rome’s vast empire to its most remote frontiers. Every long stretch of road had mutationes for changing horses and mansiones for lodging at night.

Julius Caesar and his army traveled so fast on those roads that it took them only eight days to go from Rome to the Rhone which ran from the Mediterranian through Gaul to Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

By using the relay and refreshment stations all along the highways, couriers could cover 500 miles on horseback in just 24 hours. Letters have been discovered showing they have traveled from Britain to Rome in about 7 days.

Communications were the key. The Pony Express was set up on the same design of relays. To those who assume history has nothing to offer, the entire insurance industry in Britain began in Llyod’s Coffee shop in London to become Llyods of London. Likewise, Starbucks has emerged with the same idea of people having business meetings while having coffee. Study history and you may come up with the next idea for a good business.
