Converting El Niño into Climate Change to Further the Agenda 2030


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Jul 31, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: All of a sudden, El Niño is proof of global warming, just like the wildfires in Australia and California, as if these things never happened before. The sheep believe whatever the press tells them. That’s why you cannot stop the cycle, and 2032 is now not so far away.

ANSWER: El Niño and La Niña are climate patterns in the Pacific Ocean that have impacted weather worldwide for centuries. This very intense cycle will increase the risk of famine in parts of the world from 2024 to 2025. Here is a chart of the temperatures back to 1950. Look closely, and you will see that the cycle is very violent. It goes from hot and then plunges into a Panic Cycle type move immediately thereafter.

El Niño events are thought to have occurred for thousands of years, and only now are people claiming this is proof of humans changing the environment. It is believed that historically the Indians in Peru sacrificed humans to try to prevent the rains caused by a severe El Niño. Perhaps they might have had better success by offering politicians instead of virgins. These people latch on to anything and now with ZERO proof, they tell everyone that it is Climate Change that is making it hotter.

Perhaps we should just turn off the energy used by mainstream media and their propaganda as well as in Washington, and end taxes as Roman Emperor Tiberius did during an emergency. I would bet things will get a lot better and real fast.

Why Academia Cannot Forecast Anything


Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized Re-Posted Jul 22, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I have been impressed by your Economic Confidence Model. You said there would be no recession until after 2024. You were really the only one who said that. Now Bloomberg reported that the forecasters who “were first out of the box to predict a US recession” are now hedging their bets. They mention Deutsche Bank Vice Chair of Research Peter Hooper and Fannie Mae chief economist Doug Duncan. However, Nomura Securities International senior economist Aichi Amemiya still says a recession is coming, but “it’s getting to be a close call.”

Not one of the significant houses seems ever to get it right. I just wanted to say your model shines a light on the whole analysis field. I can’t wait for your Geometry of Time.

DF

REPLY:  Thank you. It has been a most interesting experience. As I said, this is something I bumped into. I did not go looking for such a model. It was something that found me, as many say it was my destiny, even growing up in a house with the address of 314 South Lippincott Ave, in Maple Shade, New Jersey.

These are the books I am trying to get out this year. The Geometry of Time will be next year. The Mark Anthony book should be on Amazon and Barnes & Noble in a couple of weeks. That is, using the coinage to demonstrate what the real story is behind Cleopatra. She was certainly not black as NETFLIX presented to rewrite history for the WOKE agenda. This is very similar to the USA using Ukraine in a proxy war to destroy Russia. Here, Cleopatra funded a war that the coinage was so massive; it still accounted for 20% of the money supply 100 years later.

The Modern Analysis is nearly finished. This goes precisely to the subject you have brought up. This is a reference book on my version of technical analysis, which is different from the mainstream, but it goes into the whole problem of analysis used by academics, which is blinding us to the reality of our actions.

The De-Dolarization demonstrates how this entire nonsense that hyperinflation is caused by just increasing the money supply, which is like saying the Great Depression took place simply because the stock market went down. Here too, the lack of any real investigative analysis has doomed the Eurozone because of the distorted view of the real cause of hyperinflation.

The Geometry of Time will be the companion to Modern Analysis for the 21st Century. This will deal with cycles from the how to the why. It has been academia’s refusal to embrace cyclical analysis and any form of technical analysis that prevent any worthwhile forecasting. This is why people like Larry Summers admit they cannot forecast the economy’s future.

Part of Oregon Wishes to Join Idaho


Armstrong Economics Blog/USA Current Events Re-Posted Jul 14, 2023 by Martin Armstron

The “Greater Idaho” movement is gaining traction, with 12 counties now voting to secede Oregon to Idaho. This is precisely on target as the US is set to separate into individual states with their own governing bodies. State rights are how the nation was intended, but the politicians do not always represent the views of the people. Oregon has become increasingly liberal in recent years, legalizing drug use (including methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine), implementing light-on-crime policies, and far-left ideologies in schools and society in general. Oregon is the ninth most expensive state in the US and ranks 33rd in tax burdens despite not having a sales tax. Idaho, in comparison, has the 8th smallest tax burden and leans conservative.

Many may not know, but Oregon’s state lines were slightly adjusted 65 years ago in 1958. State lines may be redrawn with the approval of Congress and state legislatures. There was never a more vital need for state rights than now as two contradictory ideologies permeate America, eliminating what was once a united nation. Those supporting the Greater Idaho movement say that Oregon’s policies no longer represent their beliefs. “Idaho would have the satisfaction of freeing more than 380,000 rural Oregonians from woke progressive blue-state law,” the movement’s website states.

How does Idaho feel about this movement? The same way that people in Florida and Texas feel – do not move here if you’re going to continue to vote for the same policies that ruined your state. Some people truly do not realize that states vastly differ from one another due to political policies.

Another issue is that some of these counties are located in rural areas where jobs are scarce. “You look at the counties that we are proposing to add, they are through the roof. The average of those counties is 45% of those folks are on Medicaid,” Democrat Ilana Rubel said. “You look at the number on free and reduce lunch, in many of the cases its 95%, 100%. These are very, very low income counties folks.” I cannot confirm if her statistics are correct at this time, but yes, it is a problem.

This is a major issue as the east-west Oregon divide is reaching a breaking point. The people wishing to secede do not feel represented by their officials who are implementing increasingly extreme legislation. These movements will become prevalent across the US in the coming years. I say everyone who believes in the far-left ideology should head on over to a ruined blue state and live out their taxed, genderless, homeless, drug and crime-infested socialist version of utopia away from everyone else.

Farmers Insurance Company Pulls Out of Florida – Another 100,000 Policies Will Not Be Renewed


Posted originally on the CTH on July 11, 2023 | Sundance 

The insurance crisis in Florida is hitting the middle-class family, working community and retirees on a fixed income directly.   Hundreds of thousands of residents have lost insurance coverage, and even more have seen policy premiums double.  It is not uncommon to find homeowners who are paying more for insurance than their actual mortgage payment.  Unfortunately, the situation is getting worse.

Farmers Insurance has notified the state they are pulling out of Florida, will not be writing any additional policies in the Sunshine state and when existing policies expire, they will not be renewed.  Home and auto policy rates have already doubled in many areas for many people.

The insurance situation is becoming more unstable by the day, and the future outlook seems even worse amid reports that even more companies are planning to exit.

FLORIDA – Another property insurer is dropping coverage in Florida.

Farmers Insurance will stop writing new business and not renew its existing “Farmers-branded” automobile, home and umbrella policies in the Sunshine State, the company said Tuesday.

Last month, Farmers said it was only pausing new business in Florida. The company is also limiting new home policies in California, where it is based, according to news reports.

“This business decision was necessary to effectively manage risk exposure,” the company said in a statement.

The move will impact 30% of the company’s business in Florida, or roughly 100,000 policies. Policyholders affected by the decision are required to be given 120 days’ notice that their coverage will not be renewed.

Farmers on Monday sent notice of its plans to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, which is reviewing it. Insurers must give the office 90 days’ notice if they want to discontinue writing business in Florida. (read more)

The insurance company withdrawals works in concert with investment groups who prey on the outcome.  Single family homes and even large condo developments are squeezed into a situation where housing is no longer affordable.  The investment vultures then swoop in and end up controlling the properties.

Florida’s working and middle-class is being destroyed and a divide between the haves and have-nots is being created.  The wealth gap is expanding as families are forced to leave the state and a larger percentage of self-insured rich people move in.

Long before Ron DeSantis became a potential presidential candidate, and long before Hurricane Ian devastated southwest Florida in 2022, I was highly critical of state policies that were not constructed around the backbone of the economy, the working class.   Temporary H1B Visa workers replacing permanent residents as a workforce to fill the gap is not a long-term solution.

When you stop paying attention to the economic systems that support a sustainable service and production workforce in Florida, this snowballing outcome is predictable. None of it is good.  Unfortunately, as I forewarned prior to the COVID era, Governor Ron DeSantis is creating a class-war tinderbox.  The sentiment on the ground is increasingly growing angry.  His absence is only making it worse.

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.

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.

10 Million-Year-Old Tree Fossil Explains Natural Climate Change


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Jul 5, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Earth contains the blueprint for ancient life. Ice core samples and tree fossils have taught us much about the seemingly undocumented world. Researchers at Central Andean Plateau in Peru have made a groundbreaking discovery within a 10-million-year-old well-preserved tree fossil. Their findings further prove that climate change is a naturally cyclically occurring phenomenon.

Ten million years ago marked the late Miocene Epoch period, a time of global cooling. Sea levels and rainfall declined, rainforests began to deplete, and numerous animal and plant species became extinct in favor of new species that could withstand the climate. Humans could not be blamed for this shift as homo sapiens did not exist.

The ancient tree and other samples show that the ecosystem of South America has undergone significant changes. The climate was more humid and diverse than previously believed, shifting to a dry and scarce environment. Researchers noted that elevation significantly rose from 2,000 meters to 4,000 meters, a primary factor for the change in climate.

Fossils dated 5 million years old reveal that the climate had already shifted by then and resembled the puna-like ecosystem of today. The dry and scarce environment changed to one of greenery and abundance. Researchers now believe shifts in the tectonic plates that slowly occurred over millenniums influenced climate change.

The planet is constantly changing and evolving. Humans are not responsible for the cyclically changing landscape of Earth.

Hunting and Fishing Bans


Armstrong Economics Blog/USA Current Events Re-Posted Jun 27, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Biden Administration is making sure Americans turn to lab-grown fake meat by placing restrictions on fishing and hunting. They do not want us to live off the land or have access to free food. Big government will provide everything you need. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) issued its 2023-2024 hunting and fishing rule manual that lists new limitations on hunting. Stores will no longer be permitted to sell certain fishing tackle or lead ammunition.

The elites have been attempting to implement these laws for some time under the guise of climate change. The Center for Biological Diversity won a lawsuit in 2021 to repeal a Trump Administration law that permitted hunting and fishing on 2.3 million acers across 147 fisheries and wildlife refuges.

“In conservation, the very essence of Teddy Roosevelt was multiple use, public access, the best science, greater good, longest term,” he continued. “That’s the American conservation ethic, which largely stems from Roosevelt and Pinchot and managing our forests. Hunting was core to that,” he stated. “This is a state issue. It should not be agenda based, it should be based on science. The state fish and wildlife experts evaluated within their respective boundaries and borders,” Zinke said. “If the environmentalists really wanted to get concerned about the bird population, maybe they should look at the 750,000 plus birds that are chopped up by wind and increasing.”. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., stated, noting hunting and fishing is a priority for Montana residents.

They have no proof that lead ammunition is hurting the wildlife population. The government has told hunters to carry bear spray when out in the wilderness as they are attempting to phase out lead ammo by 2026. What’s next? Will they tell us to remove our gardens to conserve water? Prevent personal fertilizer purchases? This is not the land of the free, as the land is no longer ours to live off of as nature intended.

House Ways and Means Committee Press Conference Upon Release of Documents Showing DOJ Intervention to Protect Joe Biden Son


Posted originally on the CTH on June 23, 2023 | Sundance 

The House Ways and Means Committee held a press conference after a vote to release information from an IRS whistleblower that showed the U.S. Justice Department involved in an effort to protect Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, from outcomes related to his illegal money laundering operation.

According to the accusations, the money laundering was done in an effort to hide Hunter and Joe Biden selling influence and accepting payments from foreign government sources.  The allegations include, the Dept of Justice and FBI led by AG Merrick Garland and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco, interfered in the investigation in order to protect the Biden administration.  WATCH:

“Today, the Ways and Means Committee voted to make public the testimony of IRS employees blowing the whistle on misconduct at the IRS and the Biden Department of Justice regarding unequal enforcement of tax law, interference and government abuse in the handling of investigations into criminal activity by President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and retaliation against IRS employees blowing the whistle on this abuse.”

The Most Expensive Climate Initiative in US History


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Jun 21, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Five years ago today, Greta’s handlers announced that the world would end on this precise date. All of humanity would be wiped out entirely. Yet, here we are. Climate change has become the ultimate tool for governments to funnel money. Biden announced on Monday that the US will spend nearly $600 million on climate change initiatives. No one voted for this money to be allocated toward changing the weather, and hundreds of areas desperately need attention and funding, not to mention the massive debt crisis. Not so coincidentally, this utterly unnecessary funding package will allocate most of the budget to blue states. This comes a few months after Biden sent ONE BILLION to the United Nation’s Green Climate Fund.

“The funding will support innovative coastal resilience and adaptation solutions, such as building natural infrastructure, planning and preparing for community-led relocation, and protecting public access to coastal natural resources, that protect communities and ecosystems from sea level rise, tidal flooding, hurricanes, storm surge, among other severe climate impacts,” the Biden administration commented. No amount of money in the world will prevent hurricanes, storms, or naturally occurring weather events. I have posted about how the likes of Obama and others who cry about climate change have beachfront properties since they know it is a lie. So where is this money after tragedy strikes? It takes states months to rebuild after a hurricane, landslide, or other natural disaster because the money is funneled through countless organizations where everyone takes a slice of the pie.

This is a significant amount of money; Americans should be outraged. The largest climate package in American history occurred under Biden in August 2022, with a price tag of $430 billion. It helped absolutely no one. There are no checks and balances. Biden is spending taxpayers’ money on a fake initiative with no end in sight.

Most importantly, Biden is set to meet with his donors this week who support and profit from climate change initiatives. The POTUS is blatantly using federal funds to secure donors. How is it legal for a sitting president to campaign with taxpayer funds?
