MAY 2020 Virtual Conrona Conference $300


Armstrong Economics Blog/Upcoming Events

Re-Posted Apr 21, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

We have a lot of people requesting a conference since we had to cancel Shanghai and probably Frankfurt. We will hold a short conference dealing with the immediate crisis, the overview of markets, and what to expect next. We will hold this event after May 1st. We will announce the date shortly since we are making the arrangements now.

We will cover the collapse in the economy and the markets, providing authoritative review and forecast for the highs and lows. Because this is a virtual event and only a few hours rather than two days, the cost of this will be only $300 because so many people are now in the path of this insanity. This will be an international event.

We will announce when tickets will be available within a few days.

Facebook Suppressing 1st Amendment & Human Rights Illegally


Armstrong Economics Blog/Human Rights

Re-Posted Apr 20, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Facebook Inc said announced on Monday that it had removed events in Nebraska, New Jersey, and California promoting protests against stay-at-home measures amid the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the new coronavirus. Trying to suppress the First Amendment right to both Free Speech and the Right to Assemble to protest is warning that Facebook has entered a Stalinist attempt to suppress the people.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Facebook’s actions are so anti-American it is just unimaginable how they have the audacity to take such actions. They are contributing to the collapse of civilization and take ZERO responsibility for their actions. In the end, all they will accomplish is a rise in violence by suppressing peaceful protests.

Is it Time for a Class-Action Lawsuit Against the World Health Organization?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption

Re-Posted Apr 20, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I have never seen such absolute rhetoric coming out of any organization that is supposed to be impartial as that from the World Health Organization. All of their predictions have been dead WRONG. It is curious how they support Bill Gates and we should remain locked-down until we are all vaccinated and tested. The tests to see if you have COVID-19 have at least a false positive result of 5% if not higher. The CDC admits that the flu vaccine is only 60% effective. So why are we locked-down until vaccinated when that is not a 100% preventive measure? This is a false narrative.

Now the WHO has the audacity to come out and say that Britain should keep its people in prison and destroy its economy because the test to see if the people are immune is not reliable?

This is not a virus that is any more lethal than the flu. We do not lock down the world economy every flu season. What is their real agenda here? The Gates proposal that everything in the world must be vaccinated before the world economy can return to normal? Who make him the world emperor? Why is the New York Times, Washington Post supporting Gates against the people? WHY?

The economic damage has destroyed people’s lives and that increases the chances of war. I find this extremely arrogant for most countries do not have unemployment benefits. Many countries are highly dependent upon tourism like many islands, Thailand, and South Pacific not to mention Greece, Italy, and Spain. Those people are going to be waiting in lines for soup kitchens in third world countries and starvation is already rising.

There should be a major class-action lawsuit brought against the WHO which can expand thereafter with subpoena power to see who they have been conspiring with. It is time to do something that politicians are unwilling to do because perhaps it might involve them as well. The United Nations is not a sovereign government and should have no immunity.

PS – do not sue them in New York City. That is probably the most corrupt federal court.

Is The Chinese Wuhan Virus (COVID-19) Just a Horrible Mistake or The Criminal Doings of The Chinese Communist Party (CCP)!


The above picture of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan China shows what appears to be the place where this Pandemic started. We know this from information that has come out about lax procedures in China’s first biosafety level 4 laboratory established in 2015 with funding from the US to study coronavirus in bats . Documentation of these poor procedures in the Department of State indicated that the institute was operations at only a level 2 not a level 4. If true that would mean there is credible evidence that that WIV was the source of the Pandemic that has raged across the planet.

The other theory is that the Wuhan virus  came from a wet market in Wuhan which is, by the way, only about 4 miles from the WIV. Wet markets are where live exotic animals are killed and sold for local food; these markets are common in China.  The logic against this view is that specific bat where the virus came from is not located near Wuhan. While the WIV was actually doing research on that very bat.

To be honest, which is true doesn’t really matter what does matter is what happened after the Wuhan Pandemic started in Wuhan China a major international city.

Wuhan  is capital city of Hubei province in the People’s Republic of China. It is the largest city in Hubei and the most populous city in Central China, with a population of over 11 million, the ninth most populous Chinese city, and one of the nine National Central Cities of China. While Wuhan has been a traditional manufacturing hub for decades, it is also one of the areas promoting modern industrial changes in China. Wuhan consists of three national development zones, four scientific and technological development parks, over 350 research institutes, 1,656 high tech enterprises, numerous enterprise incubators, and investments from 230 Fortune Global 500 firms. It produced GDP of US$22.4 billion in 2018. The Dongfeng Motor Corporation, an automobile manufacturer, is headquartered in Wuhan. The city is home to multiple notable institutes of higher education, including Wuhan University, which was ranked third nationwide in 2017 and the Huazhong University of Science and Technology. In 2017, Wuhan was designated as a Creative City by UNESCO, in the field of design. Wuhan is classified as a Beta world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. (information from Wikipedia)

Because of the importance of this city millions of travelers from the entire world pass though there every year, especially from northern Italy. And this is what makes what happened in Wuhan in November 2019 so important.

Sometime in November 2019 the virus that was to  decimate the entire world 4 months later jumped from a bat to a human. The lab or the market or even someplace else is only technically important. What we do know is that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the World Health Organization (WHO)  hid that Wuhan had a major problem developing for at least two months. During those two months two things happened one Wuhan was isolated from the rest of China internally to prevent spread. And two Wuhan was kept open internationally to  tens of thousands of people that came into the city and left the city in essence business as normal. That had the effect of spreading the Wuhan Virus into mostly the EU and some also into America before President Trump recognized what was happening and closed travel to and from China to the US on January 31, 2020.

Then to make maters worse, if that were even possible, during the period from early December 2019 to at least January if not February 2020 China must have known what they had let lose on the world because they were buying up all the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the world to protect the rest of China while they locked down the city of Wuhan.  That was a criminal act for it meant the rest of the world was now defenseless against the hidden enemy from Wuhan China. Estimates today are that possibly 90% of the deaths that have and are still accruing could have been prevented if China had told the rest of the world what happened when they knew in early December.

I would classify this as a act of war by China on the rest of the world.

Population Control; Gate’s Contraceptive Microchip to be Implanted into Women


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease

Re-Posted Apr 19, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

 

Bill Gates to me is highly inconsistent. He is a huge supporter of Climate Change and has done his TED Talks on lowering CO2 to Zero. Of course, the Climate Change contingent is all about reducing the population which is now about 7.5 billion and Gates laments it will hit 9 billion. So for someone who is so concerned about Global Warming, he has three kids but has funded a microchip to implant into women as a contraceptive. That’s right, a computer chip that can be controlled remotely to prevent getting pregnant.

The contraceptive chip is to be implanted under a woman’s skin, releasing a small dose of levonorgestrel, a hormone. This will happen every day for 16-years and can be controlled using a wireless remote device. The project has been backed by none other than Bill Gates. The question I have is hacking. If it can be controlled remotely, then it should be also possible for it to be hacked like any computer to ensure someone never gets pregnant.

I have previously told the story about attending a White House dinner in Washington back in 1996 when I was seated with the entire Environmental groups. It was a Washington elite political dinner and because I attended with my friend Dick Fox who was Chairman of Temple University and I was an adviser to the University, whoever it was that made the seating arrangements for these tables of 10  seated us with the environmental groups. That was a serious mistake (Yes the Business School at Temple is named after Dick Fox).

Dick had come from a real estate background, so he was not the classic academic type. Dick was the one who kept trying to drag the truth out these Environmentalists and he accomplished that. We were seated with the heads of all the top three environmental organizations. Dick kept interrogating them since he came from the real estate world. Dick managed to get them to admit that the real goal was to reduce the human population by making it difficult to expand and build houses.

This theory of reducing the population began with the Environmentalist. Back in the Nineties, they were labeling everything wetlands to prevent construction. Their theory was simple, they could reduce the ability to expand housing and thus shrink the population. That seemed very naive to me. Nevertheless, Dick kept interrogating them and succeeded in getting them to admit that this was all about reducing the population. Dick finally moved in for the kill: “So who’s grandchild are you trying to prevent from being born? Yours’s or mine?”

The Environmentalists moved from Wetlands to calling it Global Warming following James Hansen and others who published the 1981 study Climate impact of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide.Of course, that was undermined by many new studies, but the press prefers to ignore those.

 

The climate has always changed long before humans ever invented the combustion engine. The same people who were behind the Wetlands in the Nineties, became the Global Warming protesters by 2000, and then as the climate turned colder, they switched the label to Climate Change and took credit for the drop in temperature as well.

They then used a 16-year old girl to get their message into the Media and at the World Economic Forum in Davos coached by Jennifer Morgan of Greenpeace. When that was not moving fast enough, they switched gears because Climate Change would not kill people for decades and there was too much resistance.

 

To move this issue to a global emergency, they have moved from Climate Change to we will all die if we do not remain locked-down and vaccinated. Meanwhile, they have succeeded in shutting down the world economy which was their goal all along. The problem which has emerged is that they have unleashed a Great Depression which is highly likely in unleashing a new World War and the US and China blame each other for creating a virus that would NEVER have warranted this type of reaction but for all the health organizations controlled by Bill Gates with the common link to both the virus and Climate Change.

The common thread that has run through all of this nonsense is this theory that we are doomed unless we curtail the population. This is linear thinking and the population has always gone through cycles. It too has never been linear. Many countries were paying subsidies to have children. Japan has an elderly population who are working long-term because the youth have not been getting married, no less having children. The same is true in Europe, Russia, and America.

World Health Organization Demanded Sweden Lock Down To Cover Its Own Fraud


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy

Re-Posted Apr 17, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The New York Times and others are out in full force to defend Bill Gates, their savior of the world. They distort everything and try to pretend he is this wonderful man who only has our best interests at heart. They also refuse to address how the World Health Organization has carried out the greatest fraud perhaps in modern history and the links of the United Nations to the drive for Climate Change also go back to Bill Gates. What they do not want to talk about is how Sweden did not lockdown its economy and its viruses cases were no worse than the countries that destroyed their economies for this exaggerated virus.

 

The press refuses to expose the World Health Organization (WHO) which called for Sweden to take more action, telling CNN that it is “imperative” that Sweden “increase measures to control spread of the virus, prepare and increase capacity of the health system to cope, ensure physical distancing and communicate the why and how of all measures to the population.”

Note that the entire theory for the lockdown was that they agreed with Neil Ferguson of Imperial College, also a target for donations from the Gates Foundation, that 2 million Americans would die and we would not have enough bed space to accommodate the people. The argument of Gates and the WHO was there would not be enough bed space to accommodate everyone ill so that meant we had to shut the economy down (bringing CO2 to zero) and destroy jobs to reduce the need for bed space. There are soup kitchens appearing in places like Thailand for people have been pushed to the brink of starvation by Gates & the WHO losing jobs in third world economies.

Trump sent in the Army Core of Engineers and they constructed the proposed bed space which was never filled up. He even sent Navy hospital ships to New York which were not used. He sent so many respirators that now they are offering them to other states. None of the forecasts of Gates, his slew of funded organizations have every proven correct. The New York Times and the rest of the socialist media will never raise that point – EVER!

Why is the New York Times, Washington Post, and the rest of the left media so intent upon destroying our liberty? This is a real mystery. Do these journalists even understand the world they are supporting that we should live in will destroy the freedom of their own children? Perhaps they are just climate change fanatics and hate children to save the planet. It makes no sense. How about just reporting the facts for once? I supposed what’s next – Bill Gates for President?

The WHO has tried to ignore Sweden where they did not lockdown everyone and the death rate was no worse than any other country and in fact. Sweden stands as a testament that this has been the greatest scam of all time which has used a virus to achieve the very same goals as Climate Change. The Gates Foundation has donated at least $1.5 billion to WHO. Why do American taxpayers need to hand them more money when Gates says jump and they ask how high? Gate’s number one favorite donation is Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance.

UNDER NO CONDITIONS should President Trump resume any support for WHO. All health organizations that want to pretend to be unbiased governmental agencies MUST stop taking private donations. That includes the CDC, NIH, and the WHO. Any university that accepts donations from the Gates Foundation should be PROHIBITED from providing any such studies whatsoever given (i.e. Ferguson) that they have ALL been wrong concerning this staged viral Plandemic (a more realistic term for what they have done). (see also Business Insider regarding WHO’s demands against Sweden)

The “CHI-COM GOV” Virus


Telling the Chinese Communist government that “Enough is Enough” and backing it up financially!

Stan McHugh image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—April 18, 2020

The CHI-COM GOV VirusCorona virus,COVID—19, etc. are the names that we have been using for the very dangerous virus that is currently affecting, and infecting, a very large portion of the world. If what the news has been reporting is correct, this virus was initially detected in Wuhan, China where it was attributed to a meat market that sold a wide variety of animals as food for people. There, or so we are told, the virus “crossed over” from animal to human infection. We have since also learned of the existence of a virology laboratory located in Wuhan that could have been conducting experiments with this virus and that it was possible that the virus somehow may have accidentally escaped from that lab. 

Wherever it originated, the first person that China claims to have contracted the virus was in Wuhan, China in the month of November of 2019. In the five  plus months since then it has spread, literally, worldwide. Whatever the original source of this virus, what happened after the virus started infecting humans in China, provides a clear example of how China’s Communist government became a great danger to the entire world and needs to be exposed for what they did, and did not do.

Just like in all Communist dictatorships, in China the local officials have the same initial reaction to any potential crisis which is to attempt to hide the problem; not to fix it, but to hide it. It is the learned response for such officials to protect themselves from those around and above them in their own government. Like all Communist systems, China’s is totally about those in power maintaining and increasing their power which means not “getting blamed” for something that went wrong. For those at almost all levels of authority it becomes far more important to “dodge the blame” than it is to make an effort to correct or minimize problems.

Given the outcome, it is clear that the virus spread rapidly in Wuhan and it appears that for the first several weeks, little, if anything was done to attempt to control it. Instead it appears that while the virus was still a local problem, that official efforts instead, were focused on attempting to hide the virus’s existence. One likely result of that delay has been that what might have been stopped as a local problem has quickly become a serious and potentially deadly threat to the entire world.

It is the author’s hope that the world will unite in placing the blame for this epidemic and the incredible personal and economic damage that it is causing directly on the Chinese Communist Government where it, indeed, belongs. That organization needs to be made aware that the world finds them fully responsible for what their initial hesitation to act has caused and is causing.

One method of doing this would be to start referring to the virus, not asCOVID-19 or the “Chinese Virus” and refer to it as the “Chinese Communist Government Virus” or the “Chi Com Gov Virus”. If enough people throughout the world would use one of those names or something similar it would tell the Chinese Communist Government that their continued lying is not working and that there are going to be consequences.

What consequences, short of war, can the world place on China that could exert sufficient pressure to force that government to change? There is one thing that the people of the world can and should do and that is simply to turn off the money. Stop buying Chinese! China’s economy is extremely dependent on their exports, particularly the export of manufactured goods or components thereof. The very low wages the Chinese government pays their workers makes it more economical for many companies in the US and around the world to have the products that they market manufactured in whole or in part in China.

Importing from China needs to be drastically reduced in order to put the Chinese government on notice that the world will no longer tolerate their behavior. One very good way to send this message would be if all of us throughout the world would simply stop buying things made in China. Any time a “Made in China” label appears on anything, if at all possible, DO NOT BUY IT and tell the retailer why. This would make a clear statement that the world’s peoplerather than the world’s governments were telling the Chinese Communist government that “Enough is Enough” and backing it up financially!

William Kristol & Neocons Are Not Conservatives


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Apr 18, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty; you are right. William Kristol is a very dangerous neocon who is only intent on wasting American lives to defend Israel in the Middle East. He has become not conservative but ruthlessly a warmonger. He put out an open letter against Trump because he wanted to pull troops out of the Middle East. I went to a Trump rally to listen to him first hand. I must say that my opinion of him was changed to a respectful supporter.

He said the border between Turkey and Syria has been in dispute for 1,000 years and these people have been fighting without end and we have no business there trying to win a war that was unwinnable. He said when he came to office a general said he needed more troops in the Middle East and Trump said he fired him. I was impressed.

Just my change of mind when I took the time to listen to him without the media spin.

All the best

PV

REPLY: William Kristol’s magazine shut down. Kristol’s conservative magazine that was against Trump did so because he was a neocon who wanted to spill American blood to alter the Middle East to protect Israel in a way that could never be accomplished. He wrote the book to justify the Iraq War. I knew Kristol personally. I found him arrogant and unwilling to change his position. What he called “conservativism” was extreme right-wing dominate the world stuff.

I have stated that the neocons will support the Democrats who are no means economically conservative provided they will support invading the Middle East and spilling American blood for his theory. His open letter stated:

“The Republican party allowed Donald Trump to capture it in 2016. This has been, I trust you agree, very bad for our country. As for the party, I’m not sure we’ll ever get it back on path to a decent and healthy American conservatism. It would be bad if Democrats went down a parallel path. America deserves better than a choice between an authoritarian populist of the right and a socialist populist of the left.”

Kristol is by no means an economic conservative. He will accept anyone who will invade the Middle East. His magazine shut down because he is so focused on invading the Middle East and has no respect for American soldiers or the economy. His magazine, which was once influential, shut down because of this extremist neocon view. He has been against Trump solely because of his pulling back troops from the Middle East.

Kristol is by no means an economic conservative. He is only interested in invading Arab countries for Israel. Kristol has openly said he is voting for Joe Biden. He knows Trump is against war and the Democrats will always engage in war if the price is right. Obama was given the peace prize for just being the first Black President. He then advocated invading Syria and numerous military actions. Obama was trying to carry out the agenda of the neocons.

Canada Proposing to Imprison anyone who Argues Against the Government & Bill Gates?


Armstrong Econmics Blog/Canada

Re-Posted Apr 17, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

 

Canada is showing just how ruthless the left can be. They are proposing to create criminal/civil prosecutions against anyone who disagrees with the government and Bill Gates. If you dare question the lockdown, they will throw you in prison? The left always turns Stalinistic. No matter what country, the left will always attack dissent and suppress all liberty and freedom along with human rights. They intend to classify “misinformation” as anything that disagrees with their political position.

Once upon a time, people risked their lives to flee Europe and seek freedom in the New World. That was a freedom of religion, political, and the right to own your own land wherein Britain it was long-lease. The tyranny which the Europeans fled has reemerged in what was to be the New World. The problem we now have is very clear – there is no other place to flee. Mars is not quite ready and even there the left will rear its head and seek to suppress those for its own personal gain. The left will never be satisfied for they are always seeking to take from others to make their own lives better. The only difference between a thief and the left is the control of the government to oppress others.
