Resistance is NOT Futile


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Feb 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Despite Wikipedia, Twitter, Google, Facebook, YouTube, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, and the rest of the Marxist philosophy press, despite them all promoting the virus to impose an authoritarian socialist regime over the entire world conspiring against democracy and human rights, which include freedom of speech, people are starting to fight back. Many are canceling subscriptions to Facebook and many are moving to Duck Duck for searching the internet. Then there are those who have abandoned WhatsApp by the millions heading to Signal or Telegram. By calling any resistance just a “conspiracy theory” these real conspirators have been censoring the truth and doing everything they can to support silencing all opposition. Interestingly, that was the very role the press played during the Russian Revolution.

In Europe, Civitas is a resistance movement that now has 34 sections in France. But it is also developing in other countries. Civitas Belgium was officially announced last week. Switzerland should follow in the coming days. And a branch in Quebec is also in preparation.

Resistance is building against the rise of this tyranny supported by mainstream media. Even in Tampa, there is a local race for mayor in a small town, and they described the Democrats as “progressive” v the Republican they paint as a violent “Trump supporter.” The bias is absolutely everywhere and the press feels that anyone who dares to resist this Marxist agenda must be silenced.

Well, Shakespeare wrote in the tax rebellion that the first thing they would do is “kill all the lawyers,” which were government prosecutors since there were no private lawyers. I fear that when rebellion breaks out, they will be dragging journalists out to the street and hanging them as well. I seriously doubt it will be safe working for any of the mainstream media in the years ahead. Already, Facebook has warned its employees not to wear even clothing with a Facebook logo. Zuckerberg better hire an entire army to protect him in the future. His personal arrogance will be his undoing.

Super Mario – Trying to Prevent ITALEXIT (Italy Exiting EU)


Armstrong Economics Blog/European Union Re-Posted Feb 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

G30_Reviving_and_Restructuring_the_Corporate_Sector_Post-Covid

This is the translation of a French article source: a report from the G30 on the very guy who imposed Negative Interest Rates on the EU in 2014  which has destroyed the EU bond market and set in motion the debt crisis along with NEVER ENDING Quantitative Easing. I can confirm that he once sat in the corner of a FX trading room trying to understand how the FX markets functioned and then they made him the head of the European Central Bank? So they sent an Italian to betray his own country.

“Mario Draghi was appointed by the Italian president to form a new coalition government, and this appointment of Mario Draghi at this time in history has nothing to do with good luck.

Italy, an extreme danger for the eurozone!

First of all, officially, as you read these lines, Italy’s debt stands at 158% of Italy’s GDP.
For the record and within perspective, the Greek debt in 2010 was… only 146% !!
That of Cyprus of only 56%!

A few months later, these two countries were in virtual bankruptcy, saved from the waters with plans to ruin either the populations or the savers.
n 2012, the eurozone was on the verge of an explosion!

Super Mario!

It was with a phrase that has remained famous in the mid of the summer of 2012 that Mario Draghi “saved” the eurozone.
“The euro area is ready and determined to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro and believe me, that will be enough.”

Mario is back. Mission? Save Italy, Save the Euro.

And yes, Super Mario is back, a bit like Captain Flame to save not the universe, but Italy and the eurozone, because the Italian debt threatens the solvency of Italy and the sustainability of the Eurozone much more dangerously than Greece in 2011 and 2012. 10 years ago.
Mario Draghi isn’t here by chance.
He is the former governor of the ECB.
He’s also the author of the G30 report that I have been telling you so much about, and it was no accident that I was focusing on it either.
You are going to start to understand and see certain things happening.
Some policies fall into place.
They have been calibrated for certain countries in particular which present a systemic threat to the stability of the euro area.
You know these countries.
There are Spain, France, and Italy.
Spain and France can still hold out a bit.
Italy is the current weak link in the euro area.
It is therefore in Italy that the recommendations of this G30 report, written and signed by Mario Draghi in person, will be applied with the most zeal.
Italy will serve as a laboratory and guinea pig for the economic policy defined in this 120-page report.

What will happen in Italy?

The implementation of very unpopular political and economic decisions.
The idea is to do as much austerity as possible without triggering a social revolution.
Italy will take the same path as Greece.
In 12 to 24 months, it will be the same in France.
And believe me, it will be painful.
Will the eurozone survive all of this?
In fact, no one knows.
Neither Draghi nor the other European mamamouchis.
Macron, when he says he “will be forced to do certain things that will make his re-election impossible in 2022”, knows very well what he is going to have to do.
He’s gonna have to cut off the morphine injections. (all the social and economic help)
From then on, the people will cry out in pain at the horror of the economic crisis.
We will save the big ones and what represents systemic risks.
We will drop the little ones and those without ranks.
Social tensions will mount, until the explosion.
The question that will be asked, will quickly be that of the very survival of the common European monetary project.
The next black swan is already noticeable.
It will be the Eurozone Season 2 crisis.

Merkel’s Plea for Extended Lockdowns


Armstrong Economics Blog/Germany Re-Posted Feb 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Our sources in Germany are all telling us that instead of boosting support for lockdowns, now that Merkel has come on the airwaves and attached her face for the first time, her support is dwindling rapidly. She grew up in East Germany and this said:

“For someone like myself, for whom freedom of travel and movement were hard-won rights, such restrictions can only be justified when they are absolutely necessary,” she said in her address. “In a democracy, they should not be enacted lightly—and only ever temporarily. But at the moment they are essential in order to save lives.”

With the death toll not worse than the bad flu and the deep involvement of the European leaders with Klaus Schwab, there is no justification for these actions. NEVER in 6,000 years has any government EVER locked down its people. There was far more freedom under the Communists than what is taking place in Europe right now. Merkel’s appearance may have just shot her career in the foot.

Myanmar Coup & Election Fraud


Armstrong Economics Blog/East Asia Re-Posted Feb 3, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: When you were in Singapore, you said that Myanmar was at political risk beginning in 2021 to 2022. Can you elaborate on the given this coup?

FB

ANSWER: This coup has exposed the different political responses between China and the United States. However, it was curiously lined up with a global trend whereby the election of November 8, 2020, would also be one of corruption the same as we have seen in the United States. Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, the National League for Democracy, won some 397 parliamentary seats out of 476. This was reported to be even a greater victory than the landslide victory in 2015 when the party began a power-sharing arrangement with Myanmar’s military, which had ruled the country for about 50 years.

The currency was the key indicator as it rallied into 2020 against the dollar. However, we can see that since the election, the currency reflected the underlying political discontent. In order to “stop the steal” in that election, the military took decisive action on Monday morning because of what it said was voter fraud. They cited even underage girls casting votes. What we must understand is that the cycle going into 2032 is witnessing major political conflicts that will be worldwide. That forecast was not unique to Myanmar, it is simply part of a political trend. We will see political upheaval here in 2021 into 2022 in elections around the globe.

The really fascinating aspect of our computer forecasting such political trends is that they are reflected often in the currency movements. Here we can see that the currency began to move post-election.

Newsmax Host Walks-Off Set During Segment With Mike Lindell


Mike Lindell (MyPillow guy) was being interviewed by Newsmax about Big Tech targeting and the suspension of his Twitter account. As soon as Lindell remarked about why he was targeted, Newsmax host Bob Sellers interrupts to deliver a legal message from the broadcaster.

Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 2, 2021 by Sundance

After Lindell refuses to be blocked by the transparent efforts of Sellers, the host asks the producers for help and promptly walks-off the set.

Mike Lindell, an openly Christian seeker of truth, is being targeted by just about every leftist organization in the U.S for his public inquiries about the 2020 election result.

Now would be a great time to buy some pillows, blankets, sheets, towels and/or dog beds to give as valentines day gifts. Mike Lindell needs our full support.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Confronts Big Tech


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 2, 2021 by Sundance

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced today his administration will start confronting the manipulation of Big Tech and their control over speech.  In addition to outlining the bias now brutally obvious, DeSantis outlined measures including a ban on the censorship of political candidates, and mandatory opt-outs of content filters for citizens of the Sunshine State.

“What began as a group of upstart companies from the west coast has since transformed into an industry of monopoly communications platforms that monitor, influence, and control the flow of information in our country and among our citizens, and they do this to an extent hitherto unimaginable.”

DeSantis also outlines the sales of consumer data by Big Tech providers and the absence of any control over privacy.  This is a great presentation and press conference.

The likely 2024 leading candidate field still looks like this….

DeSantis – closest to MAGA

Noem – MAGAlite with a twist of Koch

Haley – Entrenched Establishment DeceptiCon (RNC favorite)

Cruz – Manipulative and controlled opposition

Have Twitter & Facebook Crossed the Line?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re- Posted Feb 1, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Both Twitter and Facebook really should be shut down for what they have done is cleverly transforming themselves from a “platform” into a media organization. All the media from New York Times to ABC News and CNN can be sued for putting out false information that damages a person. Under Section 230, an internet platform is exempt because it was not intended to be liable for what others are posting. However, once they crossed the line into the moderation of content removing things they politically disagreed with, they are no longer a “platform” but have become a media outlet and as such, they should be subject to lawsuits.

What Facebook and Twitter have done to the internet is a crime and they should be shut down. They can reorganize as media companies, but they have abused their very purpose and they have violated that fiduciary duty they owed to the shareholders. Indeed, an enterprising attorney should file a major class-action lawsuit against them for using the capital of shareholders for personal political gain. They did not raise money with the object to censor what everyone says. Therefore, they have altered the purpose of their companies and raised money falsely.

Because of their political corruption, they have destroyed the freedom of the internet and what Section 230 was intended to protect. While they shut down Parler claiming they did not moderate their content and thus allowed people to organize for the Capital riots, such organization is also then the job of the government to monitor – not for Parler to moderate. A public forum is a place where people can freely talk. Once you cross the line into moderation, then you are a media company. Hence Fox can have only conservatives and CNN can have only socialist. That is the freedom of the press, but that freedom is not without immunity.

What Facebook and Twitter have done has undermined the entire internet. Any regulation coming down the line MUST draw the line between moderation and free speech. Section 230 should apply and continue provided there is no moderation. If we see just the real of Section 230, then we can start filing lawsuits against Wikipedia which is also highly subject to propaganda.

We are Drowning in Fake News


Armstrong Economics Blog/Press Re-Posted Jan 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: I hope you read this Mr. Armstrong. These past 6 months have been eye-opening for me. I started out late summer writing down names of persons and sites on their news, opinions, stories, and predictions. In the past couple of weeks made an assessment. All have failed except your blog and a couple of others. I now have only maybe three places / people on can go for an honest view. I am actually disappointed as I would like to have a wider network of sources.

Just want to say thank you
Peter

REPLY: I have tried to explain that there are people who will take any fact and twist it to the point that it becomes sophistry to create deliberate disinformation. I have REAL sources. I have met many world leaders and have been called into central banks around the world and testified before Congress. I know how the same works. Back on November 24th, 2020, I wrote that I did not think Trump would win. Once the Supreme Court rejected the Texas appeal, that was checkmate. I got a lot of emails on that disagreeing. I am not here to raise false hopes. There was no insurrection act signed and there was no way Q was pulling the strings and Trump would be sworn in at 11 AM one hour before Biden. I have even written op-eds for the Wall Street Journal.

I try very hard to keep it real. That sometimes invokes angry people from the LEFT and the same is true from RIGHT. We are headed into a very serious couple of years into 2022. I try hard not to allow my personal wishes to dominate the view despite what some people think. We now have people blaming the rise in GameStock on Trumpism and White Supremacy. I mean, this is typical insanity. They always have to blame something using politics. Welc0me to the world of real FAKE NEWS – bla bla bla bla bla.

Old Iron Curtain Countries Raising the Curtain Again?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Regulation Re-Posted Jan 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Czech rep. has been in total lockdown with all commerce and services closed (except supermarkets and drugstores) since December (and before that since October, with barely a few weeks with shops opened before the next lockdown), curfew at 8pm, schools closed since September, ban on all social activities, etc. And, now the PM said it’s not enough (!) and even stricter “measures” will be announced soon (likely a total ban on leaving home, as well as closure of manufacturing/factories, etc).

Slovakia continues with the forced “testing” every 2-3 weeks. As before, those without a negative test certificate are not allowed to leave home (i.e., can’t go to work, buy anything at a shop, or even go for a walk). They’ve openly said these bi-weekly “tests” will be here to stay (along with the total lockdown, it seems)… until everyone is “vaccinated”.  Also, the new “pandemic” law now allows the govt to remove anyone from their home and put them into “isolation” facilities (prisons/camps?).

The Canadian leak was indeed true, it seems… it’s been playing out 100% as the document said it would, ever since October.

I’m utterly shocked… for the most part, Eastern Europe has gone full-blown “covid” tyranny, and with pretty much zero resistance from the populace. I’ve always been saying that Westerners’ idea that Eastern Europeans are more awake or more courageous or more opposed to totalitarianism (than people in the West) is not true, but even I am shocked and disgusted at seeing this. All of these countries (except Belarus and to a lesser extent a couple of places in the Balkans) have been in more or less total lockdown since October, with curfews, bans on leaving/entering the country (in the case of Hungary), businesses forcefully closed for many months, etc. But Slovakia is, with no doubt, the most tyrannical now (along with China, I suppose)… can’t believe everyone has just submitted to all of this (forced fake “testing”, total lockdown since October, schools closed since March 2020, the economy completely – and deliberately – destroyed, etc). And in Eastern Europe the governments are not paying anything to the businesses they’ve closed down…(the only payment in Czech rep. or Slovakia, is about 10 euros PER DAY per employee – as “compensation”; and nothing to compensate the business owner, of course). And still, people have been obeying ever since March.

PG

REPLY: It looks like the old Iron Curtain countries are starting to long for their old powers once again. Now even China is looking to impose anal swab testing. You would think this is the black plague. In 1918 with the Spanish flu, the death toll was about 50 million. However, the population was 1.6 billion. That worked out to 3.125%. The total current world population is about 7.8 billion, which means even a death count of 2 million is only 0.0002564%. The data is by no means justifiable to destroy the world economy and eliminate all our freedoms.

In fact, Johns Hopkins retracted an Article Saying COVID-19 had ‘Relatively No Effect on Deaths’ in USA. Everything is being censored to create a false image of what is exactly going on. Then the World Health Organization has changed the definition of “herd immunity,” eliminating the pre-COVID consensus that it could be achieved by allowing a virus to spread through a population, and insisting that herd immunity comes solely from vaccines.

The public is suffering from ‘Mass Delusional Psychosis’ and one must wonder are those in charge this stupid, or do they just don’t care what they are doing to society? It is clear that Bill Gates has bought his way into persuading many that the population must be reduced. There are trials of vaccines to prevent having children. Others are testing to see if these vaccines for COVID will reduce male fertility.

This has been global coordination with the slogan BUILD BACK BETTER and if you dare even say that you are now a conspiracy nut despite the fact world leaders are all saying the same thing. The head of the United Nations is pushing this agenda, but hey, we cannot point to world leaders all pushing the same agenda. The elderly are the most vulnerable to these vaccines. China excluded them from their vaccine.

Meanwhile, Bill Gates is already setting the stage for the sequel – climate change lockdowns.  As far as COVID is concerned, lockdowns have been more deadly and ineffective.

In Britain, they arrest you for two or more people meeting outside in a public park. What is next? Death by firing squad for failing to wear a mask to reduce the population?

Can Congress Really put Trump on Trial to Impeach him?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: You said the impeachment may be illegal because Trump is no longer the president. Do you think it will still go on?

DK

ANSWER: We are in the twilight zone. An impeachment trial is limited to the removal from office. It is not a criminal proceeding. The Democrats are going after Trump on so many levels demanding his tax returns on a fishing expedition. The Chief Justice is supposed to preside over the impeachment of a president. Here is the real question. Will he attend? It would seem that Trump would be able to appeal to the Supreme Court on many grounds. I am not sure that Chief Justice Roberts would even attend since Trump is not the president and therefore it would seem to be unconstitutional on its face.

If they go ahead with such a trial yet Chief Justice Roberts does NOT attend, it is without any authority of law whatsoever. If I were Trump, I would appeal to the Supreme Court, and then what kind of a constitutional mess have the Democrats created when Trump would never be convicted in a court of law under the Brandenberg test of a high crime or misdemeanor?

This entire exercise seems to be a staged event for the sole purpose of convicting Trump and then banning him from ever running again. Even if he were found guilty in a criminal setting and was in prison, he could still run for president, even though that would be highly unusual. From a legal perspective, a criminal conviction is not a bar from political office.
