When will the Great Unwashed Wake Up?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Aug 22, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Now that it is painfully clear , there is no law in the United States, my question would be how long before the great unwashed, realize this ? I understand Socrates, is looking into 2024 , in the panic cycle increasing . What I see coming , are the populations of the world finally coming to the realization this fact , “ the legal system “ no longer exists & masses will reject it en mass , at which point all hell will break loose , and those carrying out the persecution of innocents, will pay for their treachery in blood .

What I find staggering is the fact that ,a group of psychopaths could take us to this point , and nobody stood up to stop them . As we will see going forward, is how the “ white hats “ or simply good people , will feel tremendous guilt for standing by and not speaking out (again) or taking action ,to protect their paycheque, rather than taking the right and just ,action to prevent this madness .
Then again ,this is of no concern to the psychopath state , for they have already proved to their, sick cabal , once ( from the COVID experiment) that the masses will do nothing , even as their loved ones are killed off , with poison. Injections.
GOD HELP US ALL !

REPLY: Unfortunately, this is all part of the cycle of the rise and fall of civilization. Once you hand someone power, it changes them, and they will act in their own self-interest to always expand that power. Our computer has projected that there will be a Directional Change in 2022, and it will begin in 2023. They realize that they are losing power. This is why they are becoming desperate. Just 30 years ago, they at least pretended to be ethical. Today, they do not care. It is like someone who stole $20 from you, and you knew but said nothing. They come back and took another $50, but you said nothing. Then they come back a take $1,000, and suddenly you get mad and ask why? You never cared before?

We have virtually every conflict in our database since ancient times. These forecasts are NOT my personal opinion. Socrates is by far the most sophisticated and accurate Artificial intelligence system on the planet. That’s why all the powers tune in. Personally, I am ready for Scotty to beam me up. I have had a psychic write-in and say I am some old soul, and I volunteered for this. My reply is I must have been drunk, or I misunderstood. This is NOT my opinion against someone else. Sorry! Here are just five models from five important events, and they are ALL projecting targets from mid-2024 until January 2026.

I laid out at our 2011 WEC in Philadelphia that it would all start in 2014. Our computer even projected it would begin in Ukraine. On December 3rd, 2013, I warned that Ukraine was the place to watch. Let’s get real here. The West did instigate the civil war in Syria. That was to help Qatar get a pipeline through Syria to Europe to compete with Russia. That was the whole issue and Obama’s agenda. The Neocons have been trying to cut off Russia’s energy sales in hopes that it would collapse. This is why they targeted Ukraine since the pipelines to Europe go through Ukraine. They blew up Nord Stream Pipeline, which is why Victoria Nuland ran to Neger because the deal was they rook out Nord Stream; Germany said nothing because an alternative deal was struck with Nigeria to bring a pipeline for gas from there to Europe. It had to go through Niger the same, and the one from Qatar had to go through Syra.

The Neocons do not care that Russia is capitalist. Communist collapsed. That does not matter. Instead of creating world peace, and there would be this huge “peace dividend” when Russia fell, that was all undermined by the Neocons. They are evil psychopaths intent on dominating the world precisely as Khrushchev had threatened. The Neocons are just evil people. Inside EVERY country, there are ALWAYS people who are pro-government and anti-government. Not all Russians and Chinese agree with their governments any more than all Americans believe Biden.

Well, Khrushchev was removed from office because he destabilized the world. He is dead but the Neocons in the West were all fired up and have refused to stand down. Watch the movie the courier, and you will see that the dissent inside Russia warned the West all about Cuba – it was not our intelligence agencies.

On June 25, 2020BEFORE the 2020 election, we posted that the election would be manipulated and that Trump should have won. Still, our computer was warning he would probably lose since our geopolitical models showed it could not be Trump starting wars. We will not even make it to the November 2024 elections. This corruption will lead to a turn in the entire world economy post-May 7/8th, 2024. The 2020 election took place on November 3rd, 2020 (2020.841).

Our Rubicon Moment currently may very well be 2023.981 – December 24th. Julius Caesar struck his Rubicon Coinage with the image of an elephant crushing a dragon-headed snake representing the corrupt Senate. Cicero was one of the oligarchs, so he put out the fake news to support their corrupt seizure of the Senate exactly as we see today. History repeats because human nature never changes.

The political storm clouds are gathering. Perhaps this will be our political Christmas gift to the world so they see America as not much different than a banana republic. Maybe that is why Biden is flooding the country with illegal aliens with their hand out for welfare and will give them the right to vote. Democrats in Texas are already proposing that illegal aliens should have a right to vote as long as it is for them. This is an economic war for the United States’ very survival as we know it. These people wage wars and draft our children to die for their vendettas and pretend this is democracy when we are NEVER asked – should we wage war – Yes or No? We have no say in a Republic. It is still a dictatorship.

However, this is also an incredible opportunity. Our present form of republican governments worldwide that pretend we live in a democracy is coming to an end. It is time to begin thinking about what form of new government we created and, just for once, realize that handing power to anyone corrupts their very soul. There MUST be term limits, and any sort of social manipulation can NEVER be allowed. Rome had peace for 1,000 years, NOT because it was one government, but because everyone benefited. Each province was able to sell its goods throughout the empire. There were no trade barriers or attempts to manipulate society for some fictional equality.

FREE TRADE created peace. When everyone benefits from free trade, there is no war. When Russia could sell into the US economy, as did China, it benefits their people who do not want their livelihoods disrupted. When we put on sanctions thinking it will cause the people to rise up and overthrow their government, they are not stupid. They know it is NOT their government – it is the United States and Europe who have become the new dictators of the world. This parody of the sanction has a point. By shutting down world trade, we encourage international war.

The stupidity of the human race is legendary.


NOTE:

Those in power reading this, you will lose. You have NEVER won even once in history. Think hard before you challenge history. Shakespeare’s line about the lawyers needs clarification. Only the King was allowed to have lawyers. They were effectively prosecutors like those going after Trump, who are so stupid to think the other side will not retaliate and do the same. The people will always rise up and hang the oppressors in government. It is time to stop this cycle of bloodshed and realize your quest for a totalitarian state will not materialize, and that goes for your cheerleader – Klaus Schwab. Those in power will own nothing, and I doubt you will be happy. Stop this insanity and wake up. Russia had a bloodless revolution in 1991. Let’s do the right thing. Schwab is preaching Communism all over again – OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES!

Neil Oliver, It’s All a Political Pantomime but the Audience Isn’t Buying It…

Zelensky the War Criminal


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine Re-Posted Aug 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The international age limitation on military drafts is generally 18 years or older. Canada and Australia put it at 17 years old. Zelensky has imposed two decrees which prohibit the departure of teenagers aged 16-17 from the country, effectively turning Ukraine into a prison camp. Over 8 million Ukrainians have fled from this tyrant. He has burned through the adults in his army. Instead of entertaining any idea of peace or just allowing the Donbas to vote peacefully as he pretends to defend Democracy, Zelensky has turned to mobilizing the children so he does not have to admit he is wrong. Zelensky is in good company. Time Magazine also named Hitler and Stalin, twice in 1940 & 1943, all Men of the Year.

With a second decree, Zelensky tightened the conscription policy and not just drafted children under 18 but also disregarded whether they were fit or not for military service. On Zelensky’s orders, he is now taking children by force. He refuses to consider the population of Ukraine but prefers to only talk about how great it will be for investors to buy Ukraine since he is killing off the population. He refuses to negotiate and seems to be intentionally turning the people against him personally.

There are many Ukrainians who are starting to see the light that their enemy is Zelensky – not Putin. The day before the invasion, he told the press that Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons. That was the final straw; Putin even said that in his speech to the nation as the reason to invade, the same as the US concern over Cuba back in 1962.

Even the pro-Ukraine Washington Post, which would love World War III to sell more papers, reported that Zelensky knew when Russia would invade and did not warn his people because of money. “If we had communicated that … then I would have been losing $7 billion a month since last October, and at the moment when the Russians did attack, they would have taken us in three days,” Zelensky said.

If Zelensky is assassinated, the West will blame Russia. There is far more incentive to kill this high-heel pretend head of state from inside the ranks of Ukraine for destroying their country, all on the orders of the Neocons for a strip of land that has been the home of Russians for hundreds of years. Russia did NOT invade Ukraine; it came to support the Donbas, which was supposed to have a democratic right to vote on their separation under the Minsk Agreement. Why should China, Russia, or any country trust the EU and the United States ever again when they do not honor agreements?

The lies are just over the top. Ukraine was free. Just honor the Minsk Agreement; the Ukrainians had their first country in history. But no! Zelensky is lining his pockets while pretending he was fighting for freedom and demonocracy when that was secured under the Minsk Agreement. This is going down in history alongside the weapon of mass destruction. The Neocons also bullshitted the world for another one of their endless wars they never win. These people are the real war criminals. They start wars all for their deranged view of hatred.

Zelensky has done nothing but try to drag the entire world into his war against Russia. And for what? A territorial grab where Ukrainian have never lived? Any politician who supports Ukraine and this deliberate attempt to create World War III should be barred from ever holding any public office, including a dog catcher or a sanitation worker cleaning toilets.

He wants to kill off our American children now so he can create the biggest investment project with Blackrock – real blood money. Personally, I would not advise anyone who puts money in Blackrock. They should take a gun, go to Ukraine, and fight like they want everyone else to do so they can make their subsequent big profit over the blood of our children. Pure evil scum! I would not invest with any firm looking to do business in Ukraine.

RFK Tells the Truth About Our War with Russia

Ukrainian General said Zelensky is Responsible for 100,000’s Dead Ukrainians


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine Re-Posted Jul 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, My cousin is in government here ___________________, and he said you have the best sources that even surpass some intelligence agencies. Only you have been reporting that your Ukrainian sources told you that Zelensky is corrupt and has destroyed his country for a handful of silver. It is coming out that the Ukrainian Army General Serhiy Krivonos has openly said that Zelensky has indeed destroyed his country. He actually said, “This colossal mistake resulted in hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians and the destruction of a huge number of cities.”

My cousin said people from all countries go to you because they have a similar mindset. Would you agree? Why are your sources better than anyone else?

GDK

ANSWER: Zelensky is an actor – nothing more. He is destroying his country because he cares nothing about its people and plans his exit to a mansion in Miami. He always dresses in army clothing as a psychological ploy to constantly pretend he is fighting for freedom. This is such a lie, for Ukraine would never have been in such a position if Kiev did not start the civil war attacking the Donbas. This is the dissent against Putin that he did not invade Ukraine as the US did to Iraq. They are ethnic Russians who have been there for centuries in the Donbas. The US has done similar actions involving Americans in foreign nations. Zelensky wants them to surrender their language and their religion. This is absurd. He is willing to destroy his country and hopes that he will be able to sell the farmland and resources to Blackrock and live in Miami as a billionaire – tax-free, of course.

Zelensky is listed in the Panama Papers, and the fact-checkers try to divert people away from this fact. When Zelensky’s European tour took place begging for money, online claims went viral that he had purchased luxury villas in Crimea, Italy, and England with Western military aid money. This appears to be fake news. However, this may, in fact, be to cover the fact that he does have a property in Miami, most likely stashed under a fake name since this is where you find all the super-rich Ukrainians and Russians in Miami.

There are people in Ukraine, as there are in every country, who are the opposition to the current government. The Western press will never tell you about them because they are trying to create a false impression that the country is 100% behind him. Over 8 million have fled and are living mostly in Germany and Poland. They have lost everything, and many are now asking – For War? To occupy the Donbas with Russians?

People have been coming to us for decades. I have had central banks sharing info because they want it out but know that we have the largest institutional client base. Thus, they want the info to the people that matter. In addition, most journalists can spell and write nicely, but they do not know the subject matter of their writing. I remember an institutional session I did in Toronto, and the Bank of Canada took a table with 10 people. All the institutions knew who they were. They would ask me what the central bank was looking at. I would tell them, and everyone would look at that table for some reaction. When it was over, I told the head guy I hoped I did not say anything offensive. He responded it was fantastic. He wished he could tell these people outright but could not.

Even when I was invited by the People’s Bank of China during the Asian Currency Crisis of 1997, I had been warning that the capital flows shifted and turned back to Europe for the coming Euro in 1998. They said I was doing a fantastic job and to keep up the work. When I asked why they would not come out and say what I said, they replied that they could not criticize another central bank.

My sources are the best BECAUSE, in most cases, they cannot speak freely even to mainstream media, especially today. After what they did to me, it has had the OPPOSITE effect. Today, I have even more sources coming to me because they say

NOW I KNOW YOU ARE NOT PART OF NEW YORK. 

Interesting times. So yes, every intelligence agency reads this blog. I have the real-world experience of an international hedge fund manager, the only AI model that monitors the entire world.

When Nigel Farage came to our Rome WEC, he stood up and said, of course, he would appear because my WEC is the “alternative to Davos.”. I regard Nigel as a friend. Now the uproar over his treatment by the private bank Coutts, owned by NatWest Group, whose biggest shareholder just so happens to be the UK government since the 2008 financial crisis, has finally compelled them to apologize to Nigel. This is the world we live in. It has become so corrupt that you have to not just count your fingers when shaking hands with some; you better make sure you still have your arm.

BoC Study: 59% of Canadians Willing to Accept CBDC


Armstrong Economics Blog/Central Banks Re-Posted Jul 12, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The masses do not realize what CBDC really entails. It is marketed as a convenient and modern way to bank. In truth it is a tool for control, an important tool that governments need to usher in the Great Reset. A recent poll by the Bank of Canada aimed to see how willingly the public would accept a new digital currency. Surprisingly, the majority said they were willing to make the switch without hesitation.

An alarming 59% of respondents said they are willing to switch to CBDC once available. They do not realize that they won’t have a choice in the matter. Around 43% said they were “somewhat willing” to accept CBDC. Then 11% said they were “very willing” and 5% “extremely willing.” Only 25% said they would not make the switch, which again will not be optional. Only 16% admitted that they do not understand the concept.

It appears that the public does not understand the risks involved. Over half (51%) said they were confident the central bank would securely handle their transactions and data. Around 56% said they were concerned about the potential for fraud, cyber attacks (53%), personal data misuse (44%), and lack of anonymity (35%). The central bank, of course, did not ask the real question – Are you comfortable with the government controlling all of your financial transactions?

Eighteen of the G20 countries have already begun developing digital currencies. The real threat here is that CBDC will provide governments will full access to our finances. We see how easily private banks de-bank individuals. Trudeau was able to cancel accounts of protestors and their alleged supporters in an instant.

CBDC would allow government to deny people access to their finances entirely, especially since cash will not be an alternative. The WEF wants to link individual IDs to the banking system and throw in social credit scores for good measure. A WEF spokesman recently said during the Summer Davos that they would like to control what people buy and ban unapproved purchases. Then they will ensure no money goes off the grid as governments want to tax us into oblivion. Now is the time to show resistance to the idea. Once they implement these policies, there is no going back. They will give us a timeframe to convert our cash to a CBDC and then governments will have complete control over our finances.

Climate Change Lockdowns Are Coming?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Jul 7, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: There has been talk that Trudeau will use the fires to claim a climate crisis, and that will justify lockdowns again. Is there any truth to these rumors?

FS

ANSWER: There is definitely the idea of using climate change to justify lockdowns. However, this is really not for climate change but for crowd control. They are well aware of the rising discontent civilly, which historically produces revolution. They are pushing for world war III for two reasons.

First, it will be the excuse to default on all sovereign debt as they are also attracted to the Schwab-Soros solution of a one-world government. If that is the case, then all previous sovereign debt will be null and void. The United States did that with the debt of the Continental Congress when they created the United States. That’s why you can collect the revolutionary currency that was never honored.

Secondly, they fear revolution is in the wind. In order to prevent that from taking place, they need to restrict all travel, censor social media, and lock us down using climate change as the excuse.

You may not know it, but at the Paris climate summit, they REFUSED to allow anyone to testify who disputed their agenda. That was the start of this Cancel Culture. The Guardian published the truth, perhaps ahead of schedule. There are those pushing for lockdowns every two years to meet the Paris requirement of ZERO CO2. Everyone’s future is to change, and they never ONCE allowed anyone to ever vote on this agenda. These people understand that civil unrest is on the rise. They desperately need a diversion. Russia is providing that for now.

Video

Will people support this war against Russia and draft people to go to Ukraine? Will that be the turning point? Are you willing to send your children or yourself to fight for Ukraine over the Donbas, which is the home to Russians, not Ukrainians, for hundreds of years when it does not impact our lives? They know there will be resistance. If it is too great, you will suddenly see the need for climate change lockdowns.

WEF Seeks to End Private Car Ownership by 2050


Armstrong Economics Blog/Great Reset Re-Posted Jul 6, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Goodbye car ownership, hello clean air: welcome to the future of transport,” the WEF published on its website back in December 2016. The first step is to transition cars to electric under the guise of climate change. This will cause all vehicles to be dependent on the electrical grid, which the government controls. Yet, they never planned to stop at electric vehicles. They want full control over you and where you go. It was announced at the Summer Davos that the ultimate goal is to end 75% of ALL car ownership, including electric vehicles, by the year 2050.

The WEF hopes that the masses will be living within 15-minute cities by 2050. Originally they wanted to accomplish this by 2030 under Agenda 2030, but they need to obtain complete control over the banking system first and usurp our essential resources so that we will be completely dependent on government for survival. “The Urban Mobility Scorecard Tool: Benchmarking the Transition to Sustainable Urban Mobility,” which was released last month, states 70% of the population will live within these urban areas by 2050. The three stated pillars to achieve this goal are governance, resilience, and connectivity. Schwab said it himself that he has already infiltrated government cabinets globally, and they are swiftly implementing regulations to make his dystopian utopia possible. The resilience pillar aims to overtake as much space as possible, which is why BlackRock has been steadily buying residential properties. Connectivity is more than simply aligning with governments, as that was achieved in the first pillar. Connectivity aims to integrate their tools of control into modern society. Digital IDs, currency, and social scores are coming.

Schwab claims that eliminating private car ownership will slash CO2 emissions by 3.9 billion tons per year. As a reminder, everyone flew on private jets and was chauffeured in limousines to Davos – they do not care about the environment in the slightest. There is a much darker motive at play that the public needs to realize. Free transportation will be provided in these 15-minute cities where most of the population will reside. Everyone will have a digital ID and social credit score. This is NOT about climate change — the goal is to eliminate the freedom of movement.

They can simply deny you access to your bank account with the push of a button. Without private vehicles, they can deny people access to public transportation to ensure everyone stays in place. The WEF does not think the human race has the right to freedom of movement. Everyone will be tracked and assigned a score based on how well they obey authority. Say they wanted to implement a climate lockdown for any reason at whim. Well, 70% of the population would then be guaranteed to stay in place with no alternative available. Took more trips on public transportation than your score allows? Entry denied! Didn’t take the latest vaccine? Entry denied! Governments across the globe are already on board to destroy society to BUILD BACK BETTER. They will make car ownership extremely difficult for the average person through taxes and regulations in the coming years. You will own nothing and be happy.
