Grasping the Future Unfolding Before Our Eyes


Armstrong Eonomics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 23, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hi Marty,
I write to you somewhat often. Never get a response on the blog. I was hoping you could respond to this one question to put my mind and the mind of other Americans at peace.
It is clear that Europe is falling to the Covid tyranny. You say that “they” will not win in the end in the U.S. So my question is, what is the fate of the U.S. Should I be leaving my career, selling my house, and moving to a self-sufficient farm? Will the vaccine become compulsory for everyone in the U.S. or are they starting to lose? In short, can you give an overview of Socrates’ predictions and the timeline for the U.S.? Will it devolve into WWIII or a civil war, and when is that predicted? Will they put the unvaccinated in concentration camps at some point? Will there be shortages in the U.S. that result in famine?

What do you think? You would be helping an untold number of people by responding to this in the blog. Thank you so much for your time!

Don

ANSWER: I will try to put together a report for this overview. Europe is hopeless. Because they moved to negative interest rates in 2014, I warned them this would destroy their bond markets and undermine Europe completely. They refused to listen. Now we are seeing the consequence of those actions. This video is from an interview when I was in Europe back in 2018.

They are using COVID lockdowns, not for heath, but to crush the people into submission. They are following Schwab’s agenda — you will own nothing and be happy — pretending they are doing this for you when in fact it is the government defaulting on their debt. Europeans should put their money outside of the euro exactly as the Germans were using everyone else’s currency but their own during the hyperinflation.

Europe has no choice. The EU agenda has completely failed. This is why they have embraced Schwab’s agenda. To retain power and prevent the people from storming the palaces of the elite and parading their heads on spikes through the streets, they needed the lockdowns, destroy people’s ability to pay their debts, then sweep in with absolving everyone of debts as they default.

Schwab believes his Fourth Industrial Revolution will eliminate jobs through technology with robots and the creation of body parts. I believe he is trying to accelerate this so he does not die. But just like global warming, they are terminating fossil fuels now decades before there will be any sufficient replacement. They are destroying jobs on a grand scale in Europe also long before robots could replace a sufficient amount of the workforce. They are changing the world economy now while reading comic books of Flash Gordan and assuming that will be tomorrow.

The United States is a different power structure and Biden cannot do what European leaders are doing. This is why Soros is funding groups to try to destabilize the United States and this is most likely going to lead to civil war for he has been funding the polarization of America with the aid of the Democrats.

This idea of recreating the world economy when they do not even understand that it is the people who created the economy, not the elite.  Schwab clearly does not believe in God, like Karl Marx, or in nature. He thinks that the elite can direct how the future should be just like the Communists. People think that communism failed ONLY because they did not have the USA and Europe in the fold.

Such people reject the foundation of Adam Smith’s invisible hand and think they can decide, as the Communists did, what direction the economy should take from a bureaucratic central overview. That has been proven to be wrong so many times, but they refuse to give up because it is their power they cherish — not the people.

There is a revolution brewing in the country. They are deliberately undermining society in hopes of taking over the United States. I will provide a detailed report on all of this and why Socrates has forecast that they will FAIL. Let it be said, I have tried very hard myself to defeat Socrates. But I have failed every time. I did a Solution Conference in 2015 when I realized it was Schwab I was fighting against.

Powell to Remain at Fed as a Democratic Revolt is Festering


Armstrong Economics Blog/Central Banks Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Biden nominates Powell for the second term as Fed chief, as Democratic Opposition to his leadership is rising fiercely. Biden’s handlers appeased the Progressives by naming Brainard vice-chair. The hearings of  Omarova have rattled even conservative Democrats who are starting to wonder who is really calling the shots.

Then the word in DC is that Biden will run in 2024. The conservative Democrats are beside themselves. With Biden’s polls at only about 33% favorable, they are starting to suspect that his administration is about this Great Reset and the strings being pulled are not to their liking. But a president who is mentally incompetent is exactly what these people wanted to change the United States into a Marxist Wonderland.

Millennials Priced Out of Home Ownership


Armstrong Economics Blog/Real Estate Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Why do 20% of Millennials (25-40-year-olds) in the US believe homeownership is completely unobtainable? To start, rentals across the US are on the rise. The Fair Market Rents (FMRs) compile data every year to determine the cost of the 40th percentile gross rents for typical, non-substandard rental units. This means that the majority of rental properties cost more than the FMRs reports.

From October 2020 to September 2021, Arkansas saw the lowest rental costs for a standard two-bedroom at $697 per month. Alabama ($726), Mississippi ($727), and Missouri ($728) also had some of the lowest costs for two-bedroom rentals in the nation. However, people living there typically receive wages based on the low cost of living. On the high side, Hawaii came in as the most expensive state to rent a two-bedroom at $1,798, followed by the District of Columbia ($1,765), Massachusetts ($1,642), and New Jersey ($1,552). Again, these figures represent only the 40th percentile of properties, and most people are paying more.

Gone are the days when people could spend the standard recommendation of ¼ of their monthly income on housing. This leaves renters with reduced savings for the property of their own, and the cycle of renting continues. For those who can save to own property, the property tax makes it nearly impossible to make the transition from renting to owning despite mortgage prices being similar to rental costs. This does not even touch income tax, capital gain tax, sales tax, and the plethora of taxes we need to pay to the government to exist.

According to data, New Jersey has the highest property taxes in the country at 2.47%. Therefore, a $205,000 home would cost a property owner around $5,064 annually in property taxes alone. Illinois has the second-highest rate at 2.3%, New Hampshire at 2.2%, and Connecticut at 2%. Despite having the highest rental costs, Hawaii has the lowest property tax at 0.27%; however, the state demands some of the highest home prices in the country. Alabama (0.42%), Colorado (0.53%), and Louisiana (0.53%) also have some of the lowest property taxes in the nation. To own, expect to have the funds for a down payment, closing costs, inspections, repairs, maintenance, and more. The ongoing home bidding wars and declining inventory has also made the American dream of homeownership seemingly unobtainable for many. This has led to an entire generation delaying milestones such as having children and a family, which, in turn, contributes to a weakening economy.

Salesforce – A Dangerous Company?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Marc Benioff took Salesforce following the full mandate to be vaccinated based on the federal contractor rule for all employees, despite the fact that not everyone in the company deals with the government. This is even contrary to the court ruling and OSHA rescinding that decree. It appears that Benioff is following Schwab and his partnership with the World Economic Forum rather than the US Constitution. If he does not reverse that position, it appears that Salesforce will be the target of a massive class-action lawsuit.

Marc Benioff is up to his neck if not over his head in league with Klaus Schwab. Personally, I will neither do business with nor advise Salesforce in any capacity. Benioff, I believe,  takes his marching orders from Schwab and has committed a public company to his personal friendship with Schwab. But Benioff does not believe he owes anything to his shareholders, but society comes first with stakeholder economics that failed once the government provided socialist benefits.

Benioff’s duty is to his shareholders. If I raised money to go public and then said, oh, by the way, I think I will donate what you just gave me to my personal charity, I think that would be called fraud.

Journalists Refuse to Report on Worldwide Protests or They May Come After your Pets Next


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Nov 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Journalists who are spouting out the propaganda and support Gates & Schwab, have corrupted our society. Here are worldwide protests that they pretend do not take place. Once upon a time, Fauci said we would reach herd immunity when 70% of the population were vaccinated. Now the vaccinated are the people being rushed to hospitals as the immunity declines to other diseases as well. Now the miracle vaccines do not work and so boosters are rolled out every 6 months indefinitely for a disease that is not worse than the flu with lethal results. Now 5 million out of 7.8 billion is minimal. 1% of the population would be 78 million. Car crashes take about 1.35 million people who die in road accidents worldwide every year — 3,700 deaths a day. These journalists are aiding and abetting the destruction of Western society and they seem to know it.

The latest being talked about behind the curtain, we have too many pets that also put out CO2. They can get COVID and also should be vaccinated following the death of the snow leopards.

Journalists Fleeing Mainstream Media


Armstrong Economics Blog/Press Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

While more than 50% of the police in New York City wish they never became cops because of the manipulation of society, and there has been the beginning of a migration of police from New York to Florida, there is another trend emerging concerning mainstream media both in the United States as well as in Europe. I have known some of these high-level people in the mainstream media who wanted to report on the forecast of Socrates but have been blocked. There is a great sucking sound with journalists resigning. The interesting aspect is to what who is resigning from what newspapers.

Nellie Bowles of the New York Times quit and she explained how the news is being manipulated. She said she was sent to report on the “mainstream liberal argument” that vandalizing buildings for racial justice was not detrimental because businesses had insurance. “It turned out to be not true,” Bowles wrote. “The part of Kenosha that people burned in the riots was the poor, multi-racial commercial district, full of small, underinsured cell phone shops and car lots. It was very sad to see and to hear from people who had suffered.”

The entire Rittenhouse divide with people calling this a racist court is ignorant. It seems many in the mainstream media reported it was a Black Lives Matter riot, but the people he killed were white – not black. Has mainstream media deliberately tried to create civil unrest?

One of the editors of the FT just quick because of the same reasons. There has been a mass exodus of journalists from the BBC and the London Financial Times. Mainstream media is denying the truth on every level and we are witnessing the collapse of not just government, but mainstream media. They are pushing ONLY a left-wing agenda and if the news is to the contrary, they refuse to print it.

The FT has been pushing the end of Capitalism when its entire livelihood was supposed to be business. You can’t make up this hypocrisy. There are more people in line to leave the FT. Why work for a newspaper that was founded on capitalism that now supports Schwab and terminating capitalism?

Eventually, in 1945, there was a  merger that created the London Financial Times as one of the largest business newspapers in the world. The FT will fold by 2031 on that 86 year cycle as it is committing suicide. It will fall with this failed effort to end capitalism.

The FT was a newspaper that I once respected, but today, it has become a propaganda rag for Schwab that refused to even allow reporters to investigate the origin of COVID. Was that directive straight out of instructions from Geneva? Why were such investigations not appropriate? Why do they now support Marxism?

The FT also takes money from Bill Gates surrendering its independence and integrity as has been the case at the BBC. The biggest names in mainstream media have simply been sold to the highest bidder.

I have had contact with mainstream media but they are NOT allowed to utter a single word that there is this computer that dares to forecast the decline and fall of this World Economic Forum. The very fact that Schwab is preaching his 4th Industrial Revolution and AI that will change the future would be on point when it forecasts he will fail. The entire Guaranteed Basic Income is the assumption that robots will replace people who will then be unemployable and to save the planet, they need to get rid of the excess humans. That is the unspoken agenda behind these words.

Because mainstream media will not investigate, they would be shocked to find out that these people think we need another 50% reduction in population like the Justinian Plague of 541AD and the Black Plague of the 14th century. The media will never bother to even investigate. Indeed,  the Washington Post’s logo, Democracy Dies in Darkness, is exactly correct. They are the one’s creating the darkness to kill Democracy and usher in Schwab’s new Marxist Wonderland.


Just some journalists who have quit

Tucker Carlson Interviews Kyle Rittenhouse

Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber as he was being attacked by a raging mob in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse also fired on Gaige Grosskreutz as the attacker held a handgun toward him. Prosecutors and U.S. corporate media attempted to claim that Rittenhouse was a racist vigilante looking for a fight; however, the defense, and all video of the events, show all shootings were justifiable self-defense.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has an exclusive interview with Kyle Rittenhouse after a jury acquittal.  WATCH:

NBC Thanksgiving Suggestions to Cope With Joe Biden Inflation, Don’t Buy Turkey and Don’t Invite Family


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 22, 2021 | Sundance | 176 Comments

NBC ran an interesting segment on how to cope with the massive inflation and additional costs caused by Joe Biden.  Given the collapsing state of the U.S. economy, and crushing price increases for products created by White House policy, the administration previously suggested we should lower our expectations.

NBC takes the ‘lower expectations‘ theme to entirely new levels.  I’m not sure they thought through the meaning of Thanksgiving prior to the suggestions; however, Biden’s NBC stenographers have a few interesting recommendations.

The first suggestion is don’t buy the Thanksgiving day turkey, it’s too expensive.  The second odd suggestion to save money is do not invite friends of family to dinner.  WATCH:

Darrell Brooks Initial Court Appearance Scheduled for 2pm CT Tuesday, DOJ-CRS Outlines Waukesha Judiciary Media Rules


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 22, 2021 | Sundance | 194 Comments

The self-proclaimed black supremacist, who used his vehicle as a weapon to kill five people and injure 40 more, has his first court appearance scheduled for 2:00pm CT tomorrow (Tuesday November 23, 2021) [Details Here].

Suspect Darrell E. Brooks will have his preliminary hearing under the careful control of the U.S. Dept of Justice Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS) who oversee all U.S. criminal cases when race is identified as the underlying motive for an attack.

Due to the high visibility of the case; and specifically because the DOJ-CRS are the primary stakeholder in the judicial proceedings {Go Deep}; the Community Relations Service has provided a court order instructing the Waukesha judiciary how they must engage/control media access.  [Media Instructions Here]  The CRS provides the template and Chief Judge Jennifer Dorow signs the order.

The primary concern for the CRS, aka ‘federal peacekeepers‘ is control over the national media narrative.  The techniques behind the court order are familiar:

(Source pdf)

Long term CTH readers have familiarity with how the peacekeepers work to tamp down issues and control criminal cases that are adverse to the interests of the federal government.

Ironically, and purposefully, the claimed need for national racial cohesiveness is the statutory justification for federal control.  Ironic, because the DOJ-CRS support the use of race for political benefit, then the CRS claims to protect national unity against the outcome from using race for political benefit.  The propaganda is thick.  I digress…

FOX6 did a great outline of the prior criminal record of Mr. Darrell Edward Brooks in one of their broadcasts.  WATCH:

COVID Madness Continues Down Under – Australia Northern Territory Use Army to Force People Into Quarantine


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 22, 2021 | Sundance | 387 Comments

In Australia’s Northern Territory, Chief Minister Michael Gunner has announced the Australian Defense Force (ADF) has been enlisted to start moving COVID positive cases into quarantine camps in Howard Springs.

The communities of Binjari and Rockhole were immediately placed into hard lockdown after nine cases of COVID-19 infection were detected in the region.  The Chief Minister is claiming the vulnerability of the aborigine community make drastic action necessary. “We’re conscious of the fact that this can have some impacts on people’s mental health as well as their general well being,” Police Commissioner Jamie Chalkner told NT News.

NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner is a fast talking man of notoriously intemperate disposition who will not allow any criticism of his totalitarian tendencies.  Gunner has promised to be as brutal as needed to stop COVID spread in the region. He will accept no vocal dissension to his mandates from citizens in the state.  All vaccine hesitant citizens are considered enemies of the state and now subject to arrest if they voice any objection.

The full press conference from Chief Minister Michael Gunner is below.   His views on mandatory vaccination should be watched to be believed.  If permitted, Gunner will use the military to enforce every aspect to his territorial mandate policy.
