Mexican Illegal Alien Arrested for Claiming False Kidnapping by ICE Agents

This story is representative of just how desperate the political left and media have become over the issue of deporting illegal aliens.

41-year-old Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, of South Los Angeles, who is an illegal alien, participated in a scheme to falsify a rather elaborate story claiming to have been kidnapped by ICE agents.  The woman and a group of co-conspirators, including her lawyer, fabricated a story and held press conferences claiming she was abducted by ICE agents.  The entire story was false, and she was arrested for fabricating the scheme [DOJ Announcement Here]

DOJ – LOS ANGELES – An illegal alien from Mexico has been charged in a federal criminal complaint with orchestrating a phony kidnapping – which she blamed on federal agents or people working with federal agents – to generate public sympathy and solicit donations, the Justice Department announced today.

[…] According to an affidavit filed with the complaint filed Wednesday, an attorney representing Calderon’s family held a press conference on June 30 to announce that Calderon had reportedly been kidnapped five days earlier at a Jack in the Box restaurant parking lot in downtown Los Angeles and brought to San Ysidro, where “she was presented to [a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] staffer” and “presented with voluntary self-deportation paperwork.” The attorney then said Calderon refused to sign the paperwork and demanded to speak to a judge and a lawyer. In response, “she was punished” and was sent to a warehouse in an undisclosed location.

The press conference garnered media attention and stoked fear in the community. Meanwhile, Calderon’s daughter set up a GoFundMe page, requesting $4,500 and stating that Calderon “was taken by masked men in an unmarked vehicle…when she was on her way to work.” According to the complaint, this entire story was fabricated.

EU Proposed €2 Trillion Defense and Climate Budget – Another Crack in the Bloc

EU Break up

The European Union has just proposed a staggering €2 trillion budget over seven years, with a major focus on military defense spending. Once again, Brussels is proving that when governments face internal collapse, they do not turn toward reform. Rather, they turn toward militarism.

The war cycle is intensifying. The proposal would allocate 2 trillion euros ($2.31 trillion USD) over the next seven years into 2028—a pivotal year on the war cycle. Of that figure, 131 billion euros will go toward militarization. This budget is five times the current amount the EU is spending on defense.

This is a budget for the realities of today, as well as the challenges of tomorrow,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said during a press conference. Around 35% of the budget will go toward climate and biodiversity projects, she said.

The “challenges” von der Leyen is referencing are the looming sovereign debt crisis. They are not actually concerned about Russia invading Europe. Militarization is a political too,l and climate initiatives are the most lucrative tax grab. Brussels sees that it is failing amid a rising wave of nationalism. The net-zero climate change agenda has failed, along with the attempted globalization from the World Economic Forum. The people have lost confidence in their government, and as history goes, leaders will arm up before they step aside.

Socrates has been forecasting this exact shift. The war cycle is peaking into 2027–2028, with the effects being truly felt in 2028. Europe should be more concerned about internal conflict among EU member states than foreign enemies. Brussels forced members to abandon domestic objectives. They’re feeling it now with the energy crisis, migrant crisis, and looming military conscription. Taxes must rise to pay for these failing policies, and member nations must continually contribute more to both the EU and NATO. Confident leaders are beginning to realize that they’ve lost control of the reins on this runaway horse, but those are the leaders who are being silenced and demonized. Civil unrest, separatist movements, and loss of confidence in government will erupt across the continent.

March 2028 marks the beginning of a major shift in the Economic Confidence Model that may signal the start of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe. From 2028 to 2032, confidence in Western governments will completely collapse. The European Union will fragment once the debt crisis hits and it becomes clear that the unity was an illusion.

Social Media

As some of you may have noticed, I am back on social media. The idea is to post video-based content of interviews (snippets) as well as shorter-form text on Twitter.

 I will be posting a story on Instagram where you can ask questions. I will be answering them on video once a month.

 The X (Twitter) account is my personal one, which I am starting to use again. The original Armstrong Economics account is also up and active.

The EU Guarantees Its Own Destruction


Posted  originally on Jul 10, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Leyen Ursula von der 1

Ursula von der Leyen may be the absolute worst head of state in modern history. She has single-handedly ensured the collapse of the European Union according to our computer. She destroyed the EU economy with her NET-ZERO policies, destroying farmers and sending food prices rising. She then imposed dictatorial policies demanding migrants be taken in despite the drastic changes in culture, and then has put out the BS that to protect free speech, they must censor disinformation, to ensure peace in Euirope they need to go to war with Russia, and while she advocates total sensorship far worse than whatever existed in the USSR or even Communist China, yet refuses to release her own text messages with Pfizer.

EU Break up

While Ursula, who has never stood for election, pretends to be an elected democratic leader, calling Putin a dictator who at least stood for election, survived the NO CONFIDENCE vote to the detriment of Europe. The mere fact that this came to a vote demonstrates what our computer has been forecasting. The EU will fragment because of the dictatorial policies of Ursula. She is the perfect leader installed at the precise time that our computer warns that the EU will never survive. Her policies have been dictatorial and she has had no respect or regard for the culture of Europe. She is seeking to do what Joseph Stalin did in forces unified drone-like culture upon all the republics in Russia.

ECM Euro Waves 1 2

The ECM warns that the European Commission will reach the 72-year mark of political change in 2030. Last year, on February 19, she announced her bid to secure another five-year term, which would keep her in office until 2029. Von der Leyen has unfinished business: the transition to EU “climate neutrality,” for example, and shepherding Ukraine’s hoped-for accession to the 27-member bloc. Her policies are so contrary to economic neutrality that they have sealed the fate of the EU, and anyone who voted for her should be dragged out of office, for they do not care about Europe – only their political affiliation.

IBEUUS Y FOR 3 29 2017

Von der Leyen sees herself as untouchable. The corruption with the EU is just massive. She will put Europe into a war footing for 2026 and it is UNLIKELY that the EU will even survived intact beyond 2030. This is the array from 2017 which targeted a Panic Cycle from 2021 which marked her disastrous COVID policies that she refuses to turn over her text messages. If you are being investigated for “disinformation” and refuse to turn over subpoenaed evidence, you go to prison. Ursula is above the law and all the corrupt politicians that support her are sealing the fate of Europe into the years ahead.
