Putin Offers Peace – Zelensky Declines


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Mar 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Reliable sources have confirmed that Putin offered to stop the war instantly if Kyiv give up its army, change its constitution to become a permanently neutral country in accordance with the Budapest Agreement, and acknowledge Crimea as part of Russia along with Luhansk and Donetsk are to be free separate republics. Zelensky has refused. Luhansk and Donetsk have been fighting for their freedom ever since the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution. This is what was to be settled in the Minsk Agreement which has been dragging out for 8 years.

The real question many Ukrainians now have is Zelensky was elected promising to ease tensions with Russia but he has done the opposite even cutting off the water supply to Crimea. Should the Ukrainian people vote on this offer? Why put the country at risk for those provinces that are 98% Russian, to begin with? The fear has been that Zelensky is really a poppet for the West that wants a confrontation with Putin. They have created an Iron Curtain in the financial world and that is now simply becoming permanent. Russians are being discriminated against in Western Europe and America to the point that such bad blood has now taken place that the world is dividing and there is no return to normal. This is not just a new Financial Iron Curtain with Russia, we are looking at the same reaction with China that will support Russia at the end of the day.

China’s top diplomat just accused Washington of trying to create an Asian version of the U.S.-European NATO military alliance joining Japan, India, and Australia to create a similar NATO-like Asian block. He further warned that it is up to the Biden administration to improve relations with North Korea.

We are NOT on a path toward world peace. There is nobody interested in trying to reduce tension. Everything now is name-calling and hostility on every front.

The Coming WWIII


Armstrong Economics Blog/War re-Posted Mar 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

While people rush to kiss the feet of Zelensky, even some Ukrainians are now concerned that he is a puppet dragging their country to destruction all over Donbas. I have warned that this is going to turn into WWIII. China has now come out and warned the USA against trying to build what it called a Pacific version of NATO while declaring that security disputes over Taiwan and Ukraine were “not comparable at all.” They too are logging the same complaints against the US as Putin for creating biological weapons labs on their borders as well.

There are serious allegations that this is all being carried out to try to force Russia and China into the Great Reset and to comply with the United Nations’ mandates for climate change. It is hard to say whether these allegations are true or false. As always, time reveals the truth. But the WEF, which had claimed that Putin was a Young Global Leader, rejected that and shifted to supporting Zelensky also pushing for a continued war that Ukraine cannot win unless it gets so bad that they use this to justify NATO entering Ukraine.

My concern is that their mistake is they think they can take down Russia and then turn to China. Our model warns that that will be a fatal mistake, and China will join Russia.

Mark Steyn Discusses the Ukraine Conflict and Bigger Stuff, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 4, 2022 | Sundance | 283 Comments

The first white horse, pestilence (virus); the second red horse, war (Ukraine); the third black horse, famine (fertilizer shortage); and the final horse, death.

Stunningly, in this monologue Mark Steyn takes a tour reminding viewers of the past two years of western government action, while connecting the corporate mandates from the World Economic Forum.  That outline is brave considering the mention of the totalitarian shift amid New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Europe, and the United States when attached to the WEF is normally a third rail of discussion.

However, Steyn doesn’t stop at pointing out the hypocrisy of the collective west in their current drumbeat against Vladimir Putin; instead, he takes the last few years, puts in a deep breath, and then connects it… to the world’s most popular history book.  WATCH:

What I will say about this, I said last night… and I repeat it here for emphasis:

“If Joe Biden, NATO, the EU, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Word Economic Forum and the multinational corporations in this alliance of Public/Private geopolitical partnerships, succeed in the fight against Vladimir Putin – I promise you, we are not going to like the world on the other side of their victory.”

With every fiber of my being, I mean that sincerely.

The global elite, the people and systems previously called the ‘New World Order‘, have taken a zero-sum position in this situation with Russia and Ukraine.  The construct of their approach is purposeful, intentional and provides no alternate options.  One side will win everything, the other side will be left with NOTHING.

On the globalist side, there is no one asking the question: at what cost, do we want to win?

What we are seeing is a full-blown alignment of interests between globalist government and their partnered multinational corporations and financial institutions.

This is not a good thing to witness regardless of the outcome in Ukraine.

Think about the direct message and the implications here. Think about the world of multinational corporate compliance and how they will kneel to the dictates of political power in the aftermath of this current enterprise.

If this collective group of multinationals and government interests succeed in this approach, everything will change.

If you think corporations, Big Tech and Big Banks, et al, are controlling and politically motivated now?  Good grief, just wait.

The global future being outlined in this NATO/EU/WEF strategy to use private industry as a weapon, is like the government attack on Canadian truckers/supporters taken to an exponential scale.

Now, overlay your pending requirement to walk around with a digital identity, and you can see exactly how easy it will be to de-person, which is one layer higher than de-bank.

I mean seriously, think about this approach toward Vladimir Putin.  What I just described above is our future if the globalists defeat Putin.  Another question to ask yourself is – what happens if Putin wins?

How does the international assembly of government approach Russia in the aftermath?  A G20 summit?  Ha!

What do you think Putin and his allies like China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and possibly India, South Africa, Brazil will do now?

What globalist Rubicons are being crossed right now that can never be reversed?

The dollar lost as a global trade currency.  The end of the petro-dollar?

These are very real possibilities, perhaps even probabilities now.

Energy Secretary Granholm Admits Biden Economic Pain and Gas Prices All Part of New Energy Transition


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 3, 2022 | Sundance 

It was only a matter of time before someone had to admit what the instructions were within the Biden administration.  Today, the video surfaces showcasing Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm making the admission.

During a U.S. Department of Energy roundtable, on February 28, 2022, launching the Biden administration’s Better Climate Challenge initiative, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm explained the core of the Biden energy policy.  Underneath all the blocks to oil and gas development, is the larger objective to transition away from fossil fuels to Green New Deal climate change initiatives.

$10/gal gasoline is a feature, it is part of the plan. Rising electricity rates and massive increases in home heating and cooling costs are part of the plan. The downstream impacts of inflation inside the entire U.S. economy are structural issues to be managed.  The financial pain to the U.S. citizen is the biggest problem they need to manage.

Within this ‘transition’ process, the administration needs something they can point to as a false justification. That’s where the Ukraine-Russia conflict serves their current interests.  The Biden team need Americans to blame something or someone else, as they execute this policy.  First it was COVID, now it’s Vladimir Putin. All of this is being done on purpose.  WATCH:

Russia-Ukraine War Propaganda Exposed


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Mar 3, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Kim Iversen from “The Hill” breaks down what’s true and what’s false about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Using images of past wars to depict the current conflict is blatant propaganda. Iversen noted that she mistakenly promoted a picture of Zelensky in full military gear that was taken in April 2021, and honestly owned up to her mistake with an apology. The fake news has spread from the average social media user to the mainstream media, all of who seem to be supporting the same agenda. Even journalists are confused as to what is real.

Although Zelensky is receiving praise from the world for staying with the troops, he is far from a Julius Caesar leading his troops in battle with a red cloak on the frontlines. Everyone fails to mention that Zelensky’s policies pushed Russia from defensive to aggressive. Imagine if we were told Biden would remain in power for over eight years without receiving a proper vote on the matter?

Media outlets throughout the world are misreporting this war. The video above notes a German news channel accidentally aired an explosion leak that occurred years ago in China, claiming it was current footage from the ongoing war. We were shown images of Ukrainian troops dying on Snake Island, only to hear a follow-up that they are still alive. There are two sides to every story. Media channels worldwide are reporting this as a simple black and white, good v bad, situation. Yet, this war runs far deeper than public information will provide.

Has Biden Unknowingly Begun World War III in Financial Markets?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re- Posted Mar 2, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

We have a very serious problem. I know where the advice to Biden and other world leaders is coming from, as they are telling them to seize all the assets of Putin’s “friends” to put pressure on him — their yachts, bank accounts, houses… everything. It is Bill Browder who was Safra’s partner in Hermitage Capital Management. This is because Putin seized all of the assets of Hermitage Capital Management over the blackmailing of Yeltsin. Putin wanted to question Browder – not kill because he was Safra’s partner. Browder is telling world leaders now to confiscate all Russian assets belonging to who he claims are Oligarchs.

Let me make this very clear. This is a complete abandonment of international law and the absence of any Due Process of Law, which has been the cornerstone of law globally. Due Process is based upon the Bible where the story of Cain & Able. God knows what happened; Cain killed his brother. Nonetheless, he still allows him the right to be heard and explain his side of the issue. That is not only what we have denied in this Ukrainian affair, but now the West will simply seize all the assets of Russians in the West, who are denied any right to Due Process of Law if they are not in government.

What is the Repercussion of Such Acts?

We are not simply looking at World War III beginning in the financial markets with Russian cyberattacks against US banks. This is one SERIOUS warning to Chinese investors that they too can have all their assets seized in a dispute with China. Remember how anyone of Japanese heritage was imprisoned during World War II and denied all Due Process, based solely on their nationality? It took four decades before it was admitted this violated the foundation of human rights.

This is the most DANGEROUS advice in history. It can totally destroy the world economy as we know it. Foreign investment in Russia will be seized, and the prospect of this migrating to China is extremely high. This is crossing the line. You do not go after the assets of private individuals claiming they are holding personal money for Putin. This is now about the legacy of Putin, and he will NOT suddenly stop because his personal assets are confiscated. If anything, this amounts to an act of outright war. These actions will never achieve a reasonable resolution. This I believe is the personal vengeance of Browder because of the seizure of Hermitage Capital Management and the bankers’ failed attempt to take over Russia in 2000.

This will have major implications on all markets, and you should be looking at the arrays carefully. Something was not right, and the arrays were picking this up. It is perhaps why gold failed to elect two important Monthly Bullish Reversals at the end of February when it was trading above them during the month.

Who is the Adviser? Death?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Mar 1, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: You think Putin should win? Why do you support Putin?

SB

ANSWER: Do you really think that Putin should be defeated? What planet are you on? If Putin is defeated in Ukraine, then the entire fate of Russia hangs in the balance. Do you honestly think he would let the collapse of Russia take place?  At that point, any animal will attack if its back is against the wall. If Ukraine were to win, the ONLY option for Putin will be to push the red button. Are you drinking the government’s Kool-Aid?

We better pray for a diplomatic solution and the world has to stop cheering Zelensky. He has tried to engulf the entire world.  He has been asking for jets from everyone. They are wisely standing aside for if any NATO country sends in troops or jets to Ukraine, it is an all-out war.

Be very careful who you are cheering for. This is not a soccer match or a video game. Zelensky gets billions from all the Russian gas that flows to Europe through Ukraine. He is fighting for revenue. He cut off all the water supply to Crimea while he has been shelling the Donbas. None of this is being reported by the mainstream press. Crimea sits on top of vast gas fields which he wants desperately to compete with Russia.

My fear is that Zelensky has not done the obvious solution to yield the Donbas. If Putin then continued then it is really to regain control of Ukraine because it is critical to Russian gas supplies to Europe. I do not know why Zelensky has thought he could defeat Russia alone. It just makes no sense. Now all of Ukraine is at risk. All we can do is hope for a diplomatic resolution.

Did Biden Mislead Zelensky?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Mar 1, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: You said that perhaps Biden misled Zelensky into thinking the US would support Ukraine. When do you think he did that?

DH

ANSWER: Back in November 2021 when they entered into an agreement. Biden has sent troops ONLY to those nations in NATO. They clearly realize Putin’s point that NATO has been constantly moving eastward. It is not just Ukraine. Putin warned that if Finland and Sweden entered NATO that too would have devastating effects. As long as the West portrays itself with the white hat and only Putin is unreasonable, this is the foundation of propaganda that is necessary to get the people to support a war against Russia.

My concern is that this is not going to simply be a war against Russia. You better include all the Chinese and Russian allies which include not just Iran and North Korea, but many other states including Serbia. I do not see why Ukraine fights to keep two Russian provinces when this is just a throwback to 19th-century imperialism because of borders. The American Revolution was fought over the same ideology.

Look, I wrote back in 2013 that “[t]he history of Ukraine is incredibly important in the entire Cycle of War” and that “Ukraine Maybe The Most Important Country To Watch.” I advised people on how to win their revolution in Ukraine in 2014. I have tried to defeat my own computer and have failed. This is not my personal opinion. You cannot forecast these things from a gut feeling.

Why has Zelensky refused to compromise? This makes no sense. Relinquish Donbas which wants to leave Ukraine and end the war. Then if Putin does not stop, we have a different situation. I hope Zelensky is not going this for other countries rather than his own people. You can scream that Putin is evil all you want. That will not stop the war, and then you must ask is this worth seeing your own family die on the battlefields of Ukraine? What is to gain other than bragging points for world leaders?

Col Douglas Macgregor Talks Common Sense With Tucker Carlson About the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, Video


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 1, 2022 | Sundance

Col Douglas Macgregor appeared for a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson tonight to discuss the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

So far, Macgregor is the one who has been the most accurate in his assessments when compared to the results on the ground in Ukraine.  If what Macgregor outlines in this interview is correct, and there’s no reason to believe it isn’t, then President Putin has been planning this operation for a long time.

As the multinational corporations, multinational banks, collective corporate and political west along with the EU, NATO and media, tell Ukraine to keep fighting, it appears Russia is moving through a methodical plan they have no hope of stopping.  This would explain why the Russian convoys are pausing before going hardcore on the cities and population centers. WATCH:
