The Fear Parade

Early Look, The Fear Parade

“You never let a serious crisis go to waste….It’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” — Rahm Emanuel

Whether or not the US had anything to do with the creation and release of the COVID 19 virus, it is sadly predictable that our government will use the situation to further increase its power by lessening our freedom. US government operatives helped commit the 9-11 disaster and as a result we got the foul “Patriot Act” forced upon us, which has nearly obliterated our 4th Amendment.

When government gets more power, it never relinquishes it. The CIA-influenced mass media has drummed up hysteria about this latest virus, and some even imply Trump is to blame. One thing for sure, everything else they drummed up to try and remove our lawfully elected president has failed. Now they will blame Trump for COVID 19 and the collapsing stock market.

During the Boston Marathon bombing, government managed to lock down an entire city. Now the government is seeing if they can lock down an entire country. If they succeed, then it will become routine. “Lock down!—Everyone must be at home so we can administer mandatory vaccines! Or, “Lock Down! Everyone must be at home so we can confiscate your firearms!” And so forth. Our freedom of speech will be restricted. Only government will have the official word along with the CDC and World Health Organization. By the way, Bill Gates helped fund the WHO and I also heard he was part ‘owner’ of the virus patent. Last week he suddenly resigned from Microsoft’s board. Perhaps he knows he’s partially responsible in some manner and is heading to a private location to avoid a hemp necktie.

I’ve read all the conspiracy theories regarding the reason for the release of the virus. One of the most believable contentions is the virus is a distraction from 5G, which is dangerous to humans. Ironically, Wuhan is big on 5G. 4G is fast enough, but 5G is necessary for the globalist power freaks (such as Bill Gates) who desire ‘smart cities’ that monitor everything citizens might do.

The coronavirus mostly affects the infirm and the elderly. Most Americans can and will endure it. We will also most likely be forced to endure an even more tyrannical and oppressive government.

Remember 9/11 and the “Patriot” act- Panic is worthless and can only lead to tyranny!

German Comment on Nationalizing Industry due to Coronavirus is Insane!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Germany

Re-Posted Mar 16, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Dear Mr. Armstrong, I have been following you for a few years and what strikes me most is that I read years ago that China would have collapsed in 2020 but that Asia will recover and will be the driving continent from 2036 …

My question is this what do you think of Germany’s decision to print 550 billion euros through the KFW bank in support of businesses and the statements of the German economy minister who says that strategic companies should be nationalized … isn’t that contradicting the so much stressed globalization principle and the “so scandalous” principle of sovereignty?

They claim to use the flexibility that is allowed in the Stability and Growth Pact, but I’m feeling teased while in Italy there is a risk of having to resort to the MES  with a further risk of worsening the economic condition.

Thank you for your attention

ANSWER: PeterAltmaier, the Federal Minister of Economic Affairs, was joined by the left-wing Schultz in a joint statement that effectively said that since they cannot bail out companies, perhaps they would just NATIONIZE them. Austerity has been imposed on Europe by Germany and the refusal to consolidate the debts was all because Kohl wanted a single currency to increase German sales throughout Europe, but he did not want to accept a true federalization of debt – having your cake and eat it simultaneously.

This has been the disastrous structural flaw of the Euro. It has not worked and what we see is the Coronavirus is being used to reverse that posture and even justify the entire confiscation of private assets by nationalizing companies. This will be the final nail in the coffin of Europe. Why would any investor be interested in European stocks if the government can act like Iran and just confiscate all private assets?

The economic structure is crumbling. This is why China will rise, not so much that it will be so fantastic, but that the West is gradually committing economic suicide. We have so many people repeating the Coronavirus beating it into such a major scare tactic that people are then willing to surrender all their rights when they are being told it is for their own good. I went behind the Berlin Wall before it fell. They told the people it was not to keep them in but to keep others out because Communism was so fantastic. Obviously, Bernie Sanders believed that one.

I Am Not A Communist, Bernie Sanders


“THE BERNIE DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH, METHINKS”

“Obviously I am not a communist,” Sanders likes to proclaim. We beg to differ.

Recently, Bernie has proclaimed his love for communists such as Castro.

He spent his honeymoon in the Soviet Union. He expressed admiration for the communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua. He spouts communists clichés such as ‘our struggle,’ uniting workers, and talks about revolution. He wants to transform the Democrat Party into the Socialist Party. Some would say that has already happened.

Sanders wants to install the final communist planks in America. Some are already here, such as a graduated income tax and the centralization of credit via central banking, but Bernie wants state-run, ‘free’ health care, free college education, and control over industries, which will be shut down in the name of his ridiculous ‘climate change.’ Count on Bernie to keep flying on private jets and enjoying his three homes.

Combining free stuff with open borders will mean even higher taxes. Bernie wants to steal the fruit of our labor and redistribute it as he sees fit.

Bernie will greatly bloat and centralize a government that will be filled with communist bureaucrats who will be ready to micromanage our lives. He guarantees jobs for all and higher wages while he wages war on capitalism and Christianity. He will eventually abolish private property, which will be the final communist nail in our national coffin.

Bernie needs to be kept far, far away from the levers of power.

SCHUMER THREATENS SUPREME COURT JUDGES!


SCHUMER, THE ABORTION LOVING BULLY

During a speech delivered on the steps of the Supreme Court, Senator Chuck Schumer threatened conservative Supreme Court justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Both were appointed by President Trump. He warned them not to attack a woman’s ‘right to choose.’ In other words abortion. Here is his quote:

“You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

Trump asked that Schumer be impeached for making such a blatantly violent threat. Chief Justice Roberts also denounced Schumer. I doubt anything will happen to him. Democrats such as Schumer are above the law, but even CNN condemned his threat. Of course, they immediately said Trump has said similar things. The president hasn’t—otherwise CNN would have stated them.

Abortion is at the center of such violent emotionalism on the part of the Senator. Any talk of lessening abortion prompts instant anger from the Democrats, Hollywood, and the mass media. They have been extolling abortion as ‘health care.’ To them, it’s a virtue. Something to be celebrated. Some celebrities have proudly bragged about getting abortions. Elizabeth Warren compared an abortion with having one’s tonsils removed. Hillary Clinton said a child isn’t a human being until the second it is born. A few seconds before birth? Well, the baby is not legally human, according to her. Now some are even saying infanticide, or ‘post birth abortion’ should be legal.

What they’re really saying is an unborn baby is nothing more than a mass of cells. Mere matter. An unborn baby has no self-awareness, therefore it is not human. Just a blob of matter. That’s what some in the pro-abortion camp say, but some adult humans aren’t self-aware, either. Dementia patients, those in comas, and the mentally ill may not be self aware, either. Does that mean they’re no longer human as well? It’s dangerous thinking and it plays into the hands of the eugenicists.

The Democrats and pro-abortion cheerleaders shouldn’t get to decide these things, but I also realize a woman will get an abortion no matter what if she’s determined. No law will stop her. We don’t need new laws, but many need to stop celebrating the death of millions of humans that didn’t get a chance to reach their potential. Abortion should be seen as a tragic thing regardless of the circumstances.

Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer Threatens Supreme Court Justices – Chief Justice Roberts Responds…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on March 4, 2020 by 

Earlier today Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threatened supreme court justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch today during a rally in support of abortion.

“I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.” “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

The leading democrat Senator Schumer accused the supreme court justices of taking away peoples’ “fundamental rights” to kill babies, as the Supreme Court is currently hearing a case about a Louisiana law that regulates abortion providers.

Alarmed by the radical threats against the court, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts released the following statement:

Politics & the Bernie Effect


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Mar 3, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hi Martin!
Like everyone else that has let you know…thanks for the call before the drop! My question pertains to the possibility of the slingshot….as this drop so far has only reached just under 24,700 on the downside, how far down would we need to go to get everyone bearish enough to throw in the towel (thus giving them the energy to sling to the upside)? If the DOW only tests that 24,000 area like you mentioned, it would be just under a 20% correction. That doesn’t seem to me to be enough to get everyone on the other side of things thinking the DOW is going to completely crater. In your studies on the % declines, would that suffice for the slingshot? Or would the “Bernie effect” give the international crowd the nervousness to drive the DOW into the 21,000 prior to the DNC stealing the nomination from him (to give to Hillary if it plays that way your sources are saying).

I could see the 21,000 area being more of a reason for people to throw in the towel emotionally. Just wondering how patient we need to be….the monthly array is showing August as a turn….which I could see lining up with the theft of the nomination from Bernie at the DNC convention. Or is the slingshot something that may be farther in the future? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated to understand what you have been mentioning over and over!
Thank you!

ANSWER: The strength of the Euro is reflecting the Bernie Effect. While Americans like to attribute everything to Conoronvirus, the rest of the world is scared to death of Bernie in charge of America. It takes everything off the table that they ever thought about the United States. That is the #1 question I get from overseas. What the “hell” are Americans thinking?

The real crisis will be coming to a head soon – the Repo Crisis that people fail to understand and nobody wants to talk about it. I am not a liberty to say, but if anyone asks a central banker about the Repo Crisis the will either double-talk them or end the questions.

The bounce in the Euro is all the Bernie Effect. Here is the front cover of the Economist in London. This is a serious issue. They are used to things carrying on no matter who really wins. Yes, we get some programs like Obamacare. The Supreme Court will finally hear the case on whether Obamacare is Constitutional – in my humble opinion, it is not! That can be an interesting question coming this June. The Chief Justice upheld it on the grounds it was a tax that Obama said it was not. Now that the tax punishment has been removed as a penalty for not having insurance, can it stand as a commanding social program? I would rule no way.

We did not elect any Monthly Bearish Reversals in the cash S&P500 nor in the NASDAQ Composite – only the Dow. This suggested that we would bounce first and that it may take s further decline to the 22000-23000 level to help create the sentiment for a slingshot. Keep in mind that the press has caused the Coronavirus Panic which is completely overblown. That will have a devastating impact on the economic numbers for the first quarter and that will help any further decline. Watch the NASDAQ and cash S&P500 to elect a sell signal. Then the next leg becomes possible.

Dancing With the Devil

Dancing With the Devil

“When you dance with the devil, you don’t get to pick the tune.”—Sherrilyn Kenyon

All you Democrats…you entertained the hard left, beckoned them, invited them in to your ‘big tent’. You thought you could use them, manipulate them, and control them. You thought they cared. You thought you were so cool, playing world-class politics, having a slick answer for everything.

You have been had and you deserve it.

You are about to be taken over by hard-core communists, led by a ne’er-do-well, odious, atheist, corrupt politician

You are about to be taken over by hard-core communists, led by a ne’er-do-well, odious, atheist, corrupt politician, having never had a steady private-sector job in his life. He spent much of his pre-political career collecting unemployment checks, thrown out of a hippie commune for not pulling his weight… had a brief stint as a porn writer, and voted against a crackdown on pedophiles and internet child porn as late as 2003.

He managed to convince the city of Burlington, to hire him as their mayor at the age of 39. In the state of Vermont yet, the ‘Freedom and Unity’ state. Doesn’t say much for mottos anymore.

He was more honest than you were. He never pretended to be anything else. He honeymooned in the Soviet Union, was smitten by Fidel Castro, and you still wanted him…or was it his supporters you wanted? To add insult to your injury, he is not even a Democrat. But, he says he is now. He is defining your party with every other Democrat candidate now trying to deny their socialist leanings except maybe Bloomberg whose comfort zone is to just pay cash for the office and get a receipt. I’m not that sure you disagree with the senator all that much, it’s just his candor you hate. A fine mess you’ve gotten into.

You Democrats have much to answer for, a chance to remedy past sins…slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation…de jour and de facto, KKK lynchings, voting rights for blacks and women, voter fraud, a lousy education system, unrestricted abortion, open borders, free speech restrictions, the erasing of your history, fake dossiers. You enticed the poor and blacks with free stuff, absolving black fathers of any responsibility. It was never about people, was it? It was about votes and power. You beguiled many and kept them right where you wanted them…dependent on you in exchange for votes.

You are now scrambling to get rid of him, not the fictional Democratic Socialist, but the Marxist Communist sicko that you know he is. You danced with him and now you want to call it a night. The hard left he leads is aroused, smelling victory, and you think you can just dismiss them out of hand. Think again. It just might be too late. Your priorities for too long have been misplaced and you are now reaping the whirlwind

You’re in a panic and it shows

You will try desperately to attempt the ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ routine. But, the Devil will not let you go so fast. He will blow the trumpet to his supporters, of which they are now legion, and they will hear the charge. I will bet that you will continue your out-of-step dance lest you lose a large segment of your tent. You will play all sides, hoping for the best, leaving a nation wondering what you stand for. The dance could easily take you over the cliff.

Yes, you did have a brief shining moment, but it was a long time ago, and it has since been another downhill slide. You have long squandered any trust you had as a viable political party in this country. You need a winner and you finally realize it is not him, nor any other candidate you have to offer. You’re in a panic and it shows.

You have a choice…keep on your present course and face oblivion, or stop the nonsense, show the nation your loyalty is first to your country, and everything it stands for and come back home to the country you say you love.

Democrats Starting to Split Over Bernie – Is the End of the USA Near?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics

Re-Posted Feb 28, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

One of the biggest donors behind the Democrats is Bernard Schwartz who is the CEO of BLS Investments. Schwartz has been trying to plead with Pelosi to support someone in hopes of stopping Bernie Sanders. The Democrats are in turmoil. This is what you get with the socialist agenda that boils down to publicly bribing people to vote for them for the free stuff they intend to rob with a pen from other people.

We really need a class action to be filed and taken to the Supreme Court against socialism. It is an affront to everything else the Constitution stands for. You cannot have Equal Protection of the Law if you are allowed to discriminate based on what someone earns. If it is illegal to discriminate against gender, race, or religion, then why is it suddenly OK to hate someone because they have more than you?

If the Ten Commandments prohibits socialism, then this not only violates the Equal Protection of the Law, but it violates the First Amendment and the foundation of Judaeo-Christian beliefs. When will lawyers stand up for the people and simply use GoFundMe to raise money, for surely they will not donate their time even to save their own ass.

I have written before that it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL to impose discrimination in tax rates. The left will immediately scream that the rich deserve to be destroyed. To them, I say go to California and separate from the rest of the country. They hate the rich but will never look at the opposite side of the coin. Why is the lifestyle of the average person declining? It is not because someone else makes more than they do. It is because the politicians are lining their pockets and then the majority of people are too stupid to figure out who really is to blame. It is like someone robs your house. You come home and they get arrested. It is not their fault, but yours because you should not have come home.

If we do not outlaw this dangerous dialog, we will see the destruction of the United States, as was the case with Russia. There will be blood in the streets, and the future of our children utterly destroyed!

Berning Man!


WAS CASTRO A “BERNIE BRO” ?

Bernie Sanders has momentum on his side. His promise of free stuff is just too tempting for many who have not learned the lessons of history.

Bernie calls it socialism, but rest assured he is still well rooted in Marxism. Whatever nomenclature the old hippie prefers, socialism is asking for trouble. It always ends in failure, poverty, tyranny, and suffering. It’s a lesson of history his supporters seem to have forgotten or never bothered to learn.

Some Trump supporters want Bernie to win the nomination because they know that he and his socialist platform will be easily defeated. Many in the Democratic establishment abhor the thought of Bernie as their nominee because they also know he can’t win. They’ve already concocted a variation in their Russia conspiracy theory. They say Putin is now pulling strings to get Sanders is nominated, thus assuring the reelection of his puppet, Trump. The Swamp just won’t give up on the ‘Russia Russia Russia!’ conspiracy claptrap no matter how many times it has thoroughly been debunked.

I don’t want Bernie nominated. Such an event will only make future socialists seem more acceptable. The ongoing drift toward socialism is just too darned dangerous. We need smaller and less obtrusive government, not socialists bureaucrats micro managing every aspect of our lives. Can’t have anyone hurting B Control freaks such as Bernie want to steal our labor via taxes and then redistribute it as he and his functionaries see fit. You can bet he will still have his three houses, though—and perhaps more. Yes, he’ll want to live in a luxurious dacha while sending those who resist into gulags.

Free speech would end in order to achieve Bernie’s ’social justice.’ During the debate in South Carolina, Bernie was actually booed and he didn’t like it! If he had his way, booing socialism would be against the law. He would make sure hate speech laws got enacted and enforced. Guns would be confiscated. Can’t have citizens fighting back when private property is outlawed.

Bernie offers us a terrible conflagration that will be fueled by the loss of our freedom. Millions of people died due to communist tyranny in the 20th Century. The cold ashes of history should not be forgotten.

Speaker Pelosi Says She Would be Comfortable With Fidel Sanders at Top of 2020 Ticket…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on February 26, 2020 by 

It’s a great time to be watching Democrat politics and the unending efforts of the national media to protect them from themselves.

The leading candidate for the Democrat party is an avowed socialist, Fidel Sanders.

Meanwhile, the strongest fall-back candidate for the party that rails against the rich; the only candidate likely to save them from Fidel; is a former republican billionaire, mini-mike Bloomberg.  The former New York City mayor Bloomberg made himself famous by railing against guns, soda, Slurpees, salt, and hot-dogs at baseball games.  You couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried.

WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday said she would be comfortable with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as the Democratic presidential nominee in November.

The congresswoman was asked the question as she was leaving a closed-door meeting in the House basement Wednesday morning.  She replied with one word: “Yes.” (link)
