A petition to the White House calling for an investigation into Bill & Melinda Gate Foundation is absolutely NECESSARY!!!! Gates has taken a high profile on this demanding we remain locked down until everyone is vaccinated as he said on German TV. Even the CDC admits that the flu vaccine is at best 60% effective. Clearly, what Gates has been pushing would not be 100% guarantee either and then the flu vaccine has to be changed every year because viruses mutate.

Everyone whose business has been harmed by this lockdown should sign this petition. Perhaps if enough people do so, Trump will see that this can even become a campaign issue and that alone would give any politicians ammunition for the political battle.

QUESTION #1: Dear Mr. Armstrong,
I’ve been following your blog for quite a while, and have a Basic subscription to Socrates. Wish I could have been able to attend a WEC, but so far that’s not been possible. Also wish I understood everything in Socrates so much better, but my old brain isn’t what it used to be, even tho’ I’ve learned a great deal.

I’m 72, retired, with a small pension, SocSec, and interest/dividends from the stock market. My home is free and clear. Investments are mostly Corporate Fixed Income and Municipal Bonds (for tax advantages), and a few stocks. I’m not an active trader, and have taken about a 16% hit so far.

Given that what I have is all I’ll have for the future, what is the best I (and other seniors essentially on fixed incomes) can do to protect ourselves for these next few years? Wish I could just pull it all out in cash and bury it in the backyard, but that isn’t a rational strategy, and likely not even do-able with the limits on cash withdrawals. I do have a fair amount of cash for “emergencies”, but certainly not enough for the next 10 years. It seems like I need to do something, but what?
Many thanks for all you do,
SH

ANSWER: Probably your greatest risk will be the Municipal Bonds. I know they love to say no munis defaulted during the Great Depression. The city of Detroit “suspended” all payments in 1937 and eventually repaid in 1963. This lockdown has been either the most stupid decision ever made by any politician, or they have been the puppets of the Climate Change Socialists whose dream it has been to shut down the economy, nationalize industry, to reduce CO2. Even Bill Gates TED Talk was all about how do we get to ZERO CO2.

Because of this unbelievable wholesale destruction of the world economy, state, provincial, and local governments are going to be in major trouble. They cannot print money as can the Federal governments. They rely on taxes and these morons have shut down their local economies without even comprehending what they were doing to their local tax base. They cannot pay pensions without current revenue. They will try to raise taxes and will find revolts and people who will be unable to pay because they lost their job, probably healthcare insurance that went with that, and all their various loans from cars and mortgages, etc.

As far as corporate debt, stay away from consumer-oriented companies such as retail sales with brick & motor establishments. Take Neiman Marcus, for example, their biggest shareholder in the Canadian pension system CPPIB.

Keeping gold in safe deposit boxes will be risky. We have already witnessed some European banks using the virus as a justification to deny access. You then must provide the reason for your access and what you intend to take out. Remember that when gold was confiscated, it was whatever was on deposit in banks. They did not go door to door.

QUESTION #2: Marty I’m based in UK and have been reading your posts for a while about Central banks and the collapse of Europe. I have recently retired and am holding funds in cash in Banks and also have a deposit box with a bit of gold. I have 2 investment properties with mortgages. Would you recommend that I use my cash and repay the mortgages and withdraw the box as u were talking about banks confiscating gold. Very worried about the future.

Thank you

K

ANSWER: Do not pay off the mortgages. Keep the cash. Be very careful about leaving gold or cash in a bank safe deposit box. Banks will not be trustworthy at this point. The governments can decree to seal all such boxes and they will do that in a split second.

COMMENT #3: Marty, Good morning. Been keeping an eye on things and also making analyses and forecasts. If this was a casino with sports betting odds, the Dark Age would be seeing better odds daily at a rapidly increasing rate and would soon be among the favorites, if not the odds on favorite.

Hope all is well in your area.

Best,
E

ANSWER: I am always amazed when Socrates makes such a bold forecast and I personally cannot find the words to articulate it. I wrote the report How Empires Nations & City-States Fall? The Dark Age Cycle and priced that at $29.50 for the average person because it was important to understand what makes such events unfold. I would have to confess, I underestimated the Climate Change contingent. They have persuaded many at the upper echelon of power and flipped even the wealthy into feeling guilty that they have so much to support this all-out assault on shutting down the world economy. I have inside knowledge that members were told to sell all stocks and bonds in January. They picked their favorites to protect.

I never imaged that the could shut down the world economy like this so fast. They have openly destroyed Capital Formation and have hurled society toward war and that certainly now raises the stake for a Dark Age coming post-2032. They have won. They are destroying civilization to save the planet. Nobody will bother to investigate – the question is WHY?

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; Do you disagree with Trump blaming China for this virus leaking from their lab?

HB

ANSWER: I do not care if it was a mistaken leak from China’s lab or it was sent here by aliens intending to invade the planet. The source is irrelevant. There are also conspiracy theories that it was created and planted by Bill Gates since he has been the one person to gain so much from this fiasco. Since the World population is estimated to reach 7.58 billion and Gates’ companies got $10 per vaccine that would be twice his fortune. But in fact, they usually get $50 or more per flu shot. That would mean vaccines would cost almost $400 billion for just one. Why stop there. There are numerous viruses.

The blame belongs in the West and how did we allow the WHO and Imperial College’s Neil Fergusonto put out false information that there would not be enough bed space to warrant locking down the entire world economy destroying people’s livelihoods and pushing people in many areas toward starvation. They filled stadiums with beds that were never used.

This has been INTENTIONALLY exaggerated and used as a power-play in a far too well-organized manner. This attempt to blame some lab in China for the actions that have taken place in the political circles in the West is not justified. The West has jumped on the push for digital currencies using the virus as the excuse is just way too convenient. Blaming China’s lab is a distraction so we do not look at what has been done politically at by the people who are supposed to be representing the people but never do.

I do NOT support Trump with the blame game shifting this to China. We should have a public investigation of all the players from Bill Gates, the WHO, which elites sold all stocks and bonds and where did those tips come from. How about we start there. This coronavirus scare has been deliberately exploited as a power grab and NO lab in China would be responsible for the political actions right in our backyard. At the 2012 British Olympics, the opening skit was all about a pandemic with hospital beds. Was that a political attempt at pre-conditioning the public for a power-grab?

I have a cousin who is in the hospital with it. So some claims it’s fake or 5G really does not matter! Stop looking at the claimed cause. Look at the exploitation that has been carried out for political objectives. Forget the virus. Remember our Liberty!
