The Collapse of the American Dream


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Jan 25, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The American Dream, where once upon a time, was when a parent saved to raise their children to have a perpetual better life than they had. Parents would save for their college education and they pushed their children to achieve. My father began saving the day I was born for my college education and lawsuit.

Americans, no matter the circumstances of their birth, all shared freedom, opportunity, the right to build private businesses and enterprises, and a republic – “Representative Democracy.” We raised our children believing that they had a legitimate opportunity to live a better life than we did predicated upon their own skills and intelligence. We tried to instill a good work ethic, and that would provide good fortune for the future ahead.

But in today’s world, our politicians have sought to replace parents all under the guise of socialism. Individualism, we are now told from the likes of  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is evil and we are now to become just part of the collective hive. The ruling elite has stolen the wealth of the nation and its citizens while pretending this is somehow for our benefit. This was not an accident, but a plan implemented over many decades in the dark corners of Klaus Schwab.

In the ’80s when I bought a home in New Jersey, I simply had my children’s names added to the title with no questions asked. When I bought a place in Florida in 2016 and simply said add my children to the deed, I was told I could not unless they would then would have to pay taxes as a gift.

Socialism has destroyed the country. Nobody can do anything without the approval of the government and they have their hand in everyone’s pocket. Now with COVID, lockdowns, restrictions, demands for vaccines when this is by no means as serious as most over diseases, everything from our right to free speech and to assembly has been stripped of us and pro-left judges look the other way with the same mantra – the government cares.

They have destroyed sanity. There were people who sprayed anything they bought at a store to clean the packages. When they introduced the vaccines, we were told that they would also return us to normal but were hanging immunity to Big-Pharms like candy on Holloween. Suddenly, government-mandated safeguards were abolished and we were told just mix and match whatever vaccines but bottles of Tylenol warn you should not take it in combination with other drugs.

We have reached the point of never-ending covid restrictions and there is no longer talk of any timetable for a return to normal. Teenagers are committing suicide because they can no longer see a future. We have been told that Fauci’s mere opinion is a science with nothing to back that up. Fauci cannot even keep all his lies straight and the media helps to cover it all up.

We are now told cloth masks do not do anything but when this all began Fauci even said that masks did not work. They went from “useless” to mandatory and now back to useless. They demand like the Nazis that you must show your vaccine passport at a restaurant and some hospitals have refused to provide services if someone is not vaccinated. I even had a friend whose wife was pregnant and got COVID and the doctor at a major hospital in Philadelphia told her to have an abortion because the child would probably be deformed. They went to a real doctor and the child was fine.

The psychological damage to children is monumental. What we have yet to confront is that this fear campaign is going to be remembered by the younger generation as a catastrophic moral crime. These insane politicians and questionable doctors who surrendered all medical integrity and joined the government’s propaganda instead of defending the people against tyranny will be remembered as today’s Nazis. Honestly, I hear even from the left who quietly agreed this has all gone too far. They are afraid that speaking up they are immediately labeled a Trumper and white supremacy in this new age of demonizing any opposition.

Using Fear to Gain More Power


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Jan 25, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The Press is not reporting all the protests in Europe. Millions of people are now protesting in virtually every city throughout Germany. The number of protests throughout Germany is far too great to even list them all. Major protests are appearing in BrusselsAustriaFrance, and Italy while the media is pretending nothing is happening on a grand scale and these people are really just criminals.

There were worldwide massive protests against these tyrannical leaders of governments. One must ask, why are elected politicians acting so ruthlessly when everyone knows someone with COVID and they experienced flu-like symptoms and did not die. They cannot keep this scam going beyond 3 years. Why would they be trashing their own careers if they really feared elections? The rumors from reliable sources remain that they want to use the pandemic to justify terminating elections or at the very least, rig them to pretend they were elected.

In Italy, local governments are beginning to protest as well. The Mayor of the Italian city of Messina has gone on hunger strike to protest against the government’s coronavirus containment measures. Nobody is looking deeper as to what is the real motive behind this fake pandemic?

The reason why the press is not reporting the truth is they are just following orders like good Nazis. The press has, in general, become the enemy of the people. They are no longer engaged in news, but propaganda to create this new fictional world of the Great Reset where all fossil fuels are abolished and the world will be saved by electric cars.

These governments passed emergency power which they are NOT prepared to hand back. They are also just spending money without any appropriation and no worry about debt because they intend to also default on world debt. I have explained that after talking to high-level bankers in New York, nobody will accept any European government debt as collateral even at 10% of its face value.

Reactions are a maximum of 2 to 3 years. Even the Great Depression complied with that rule – 1929 to July 1932.  This COVID Pandemic which has been orchestrated from the outset to redesign the world economy will fail. This is why we are witnessing a massive rise in protests now on a global scale because the majority are getting tired of the attempt to instill fear to achieve their economic goals. What these governments have done is fulfill our computer forecasts which were made back in 1985. NOBODY has been able to beat Socrates – EVER!

Nigel Farage came and was our Keynote Speaker at the WEC 2019 event in Rome. He said he had to come because we were not just the “alternative to Davos” butwe were the ONLY one to forecast that BREXIT would win when all the media laughed and said the polls forecast they would lose.

Not only did we warn that the future would present a crisis in Democracy, but we also forecast that 2016 would be the first time that a third party president could win and that was 31 years in advance of Trump.

Trump took office precisely on the day of the Pi projection from the beginning of this wave in 1985.65. We forewarned that 2020 would be the turning point that would mark the beginning of a commodity rally into 2032/33 which would be 13 years in total. We also warned that CONFIDENCE in government peaked in 2015.75 and that this would be followed by a new age of authoritarianism post-2020.

All of these forecasts have come true, NOT because I guess better than anyone else. This is all based upon pattern recognition for history indeed repeats because the passion of mankind never changes.

In the end,  these three men think they know better than the rest of us. The world will only survive because of them as they see it. Our computer has forecast the demise of their arrogant visions of grandeur. They will be remembered for generations to come just as Adolf Hitler will forever be remembered. They are destroying Western Civilization and in the process, they are deliberately causing the decline and fall thinking they can rebuild it back better. Sadly, they are ensuring that China and Russia will emerge as the stronger economies thanks to these zealots.

Without Notice FDA Revokes Monoclonal Antibody Treatments for COVID, Promote Difficult to Find Pfizer and Merck Pills as Replacements


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 25, 2022 | Sundance | 54 Comments

This is some next level sketchy, borderline evil, stuff from the U.S. medical establishment. The FDA has revoked the authorization status of monoclonal antibody treatments [Announcement Here], effectively shutting down the treatment option for patients exposed to COVID-19.

The FDA gave no advanced notice of their arbitrary decision; they just issued a press release Monday evening and immediately revoked the Emergency Use Authorization.

The result was that no states were given any time to prepare for the shutdown or cancel the scheduled appointments of their patients.

On the surface the FDA justification is essentially that monoclonal antibody treatments are “unlikely to be active against the omicron variant,” so the monoclonal treatment option is revoked. However, below the surface it looks like the FDA reason for the revocation is to push the Pfizer and Merck pills as the primarily authorized therapeutics.  The problem with the pills is they are hard to find and in short supply.

Literally, a few hours before the FDA shut down monoclonal antibody treatments to push the pills, CBS writes an article about how difficult it is to find therapeutic pills {SEE HERE}.  But we are supposed to believe these decisions are about public health, right?  This is absurd, I mean, seriously, think about it.

If public health was really the driving factor, why wouldn’t federal public health officials make every effort to have all treatments available, and then let your doctor decide which is right for you?

The state of Florida Health Department is not happy and being forced to close all monoclonal antibody treatment sites.  They issued the following statement:

Empty Shelves Have Consequences, Canadian Multinational Business Groups Ask Government to Quickly Reverse Trucker Vaccine Mandate


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 24, 2022 | Sundance | 244 Comments

The support for the Canadian trucker protest is already getting results.   As we shared previously, ‘the absence of food will change things‘, and the reason is simple, it focuses priorities.

In the bigger picture, a grassroots protest from Main Street (truckers) forces the multinationals to a position of vulnerability.  The multinationals control the politicians, so any pressure applied directly to the multinationals ends up being transmitted to their beneficiaries, the government officials.

In the modern era, the professional left has used this dynamic to pressure corporations via organized activism and leftist demands.  However, the middle class actually has more power in this type of engagement, they just don’t use it.

The Canadian trucker protest is an example of the working class using the power of their influence.  The results are immediately surfacing.

The multinational business advocacy groups in Canada are now telling the Canadian government officials to back down from their vaccination mandate against the truckers.

CANADA – Business leaders are urging Ottawa to ease vaccine mandates for cross-border truckers to relieve the congested supply chain with the United States.  

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended Monday the mandate as a necessary step to keep supply chains open, arguing that COVID-19 itself is the biggest risk to Canada’s economy.  But in separate statements the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Manufacturing Coalition both urged him to back down.

Perrin Beatty, the president of the Chamber, told The Canadian Press that while “we strongly favour getting as many people vaccinated as possible,” the government should allow more time before imposing the mandate on truckers.

[…] The Canadian Manufacturing Coalition, which represents over 30 manufacturing trade associations, called for a full reversal of the vaccine mandate after meeting Friday with Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne.

Dennis Darby, the president of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters which chairs the coalition, told Champagne that “Canadians are seeing empty shelves” because vaccine mandates are making supply chain bottlenecks worse.

In a statement, Darby said the meeting with Champagne was “a good first step but now we need to see concrete action by the government to start addressing these challenges, starting with reversing the trucker vaccine mandate.”  (read more)

The middle class and working class can win this battle if they keep the pressure applied.  This is the fundamental truth within the “yellow vest” movement writ large, and it is the essential truth inside all Main Street economies.

The Canadian people can win this fight.  These signals from the multinationals are the first recognition of a changed dynamic.  Any scenario that unites the middle class against the corporatist system becomes a risk to the politicians and the corporations who pay for them.

New York Supreme Court Strikes Down State Mask Mandate


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 24, 2022 | Sundance | 170 Comments

This is a very good thing.  A New York State Supreme Court has blocked the unilateral state-wide mask mandate of Governor Kathy Hochul and state Health Commissioner Basset.  The legal reasoning is very important.   NY Supreme Court Ruling HERE.

The authority of the New York governor and health commissioner, provided by the declaration of a state emergency, has expired.  With that expiration any/all mandates from the office are invalid; all requirements for public health -such as the mask mandate- MUST come from the legislative body.

According to the ruling, Judge Thomas Rademaker said that neither the governor nor the state health commissioner had the authority to enact the mandate without the state legislature, since the governor no longer has emergency powers. [full pdf here]

Intemperate Joe Biden When Questioned on Inflation, Calls Reporter “A Stupid Son of a Bitch”

White House Will Not Answer the Only Question That Matters About Ukraine and NATO


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 24, 2022 | Sundance | 285 Comments

There is really only one question that matters at the heart of the U.S. position toward Ukraine and NATO.  It was asked halfway through the press conference with Jennifer Psaki today.

“Considering that NATO allies have not held up their own agreement to spend 2 percent of their own GDP on their military preparedness … if Europeans are not willing to expend their own blood and treasure on their own self-defense why should Americans be expected to do so?” 

Spoiler Alert… The White House could not answer the question.  Jen Psaki hemmed, hawed, and attempted to use verbal linguistics to assemble previously over-used soundbites, but she could not -and did not- answer that question.  WATCH:

‘Nuf said.

The honest answer would be…  We, in the Biden and Obama administration, are doing all this stuff in Ukraine, for Ukraine and under the auspices of protecting Ukraine, because a whole bunch of us from both political parties in/around the DC beltway – along with our families – receive massive amounts of personal financial wealth from the DC money laundering operation of foreign aid money in/around Ukraine.

That’s the real answer, and the reason Psaki cannot reconcile the easiest question publicly.   The NATO members also know that American politicians enrich themselves and their families through the laundry of foreign aid to their own bank accounts.

Very Concerning, Attorney Testifies to Compiled Adverse Vaccine Reaction Statistics Provided by Whistleblowers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 24, 2022 | Sundance | 410 Comments

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson moderated a panel discussion on COVID-19 today titled “COVID-19: A Second Opinion.”  The roundtable discussion included a group of world-renowned doctors and medical experts to provide a “different perspective on the global pandemic response, the current state of knowledge of early and hospital treatment, vaccine efficacy and safety.” [Video coming soon]

During a segment of the presentation, Attorney Thomas Renz gave testimony {Direct Rumble Link} on behalf of whistleblowers inside the medical system who have access to vaccination data that is withheld from the general public.

Mr. Renz outlined data of adverse reaction to the vaccinations including a rate of miscarriages that increased 300% over the five-year average, a rate of increased cancer over 300%, and an increase in neurological issues over 1,000 percent (from 82,000 yearly average to now 863,000 in one year with the vaccines). WATCH:

.

Mr. Renz testified that all of the institutional medical establishment officials are aware of the data; however, the medical and scientific community have suppressed the adverse vaccine information in order to continue the policy of mitigating COVID-19 through vaccination.

The medical tenet of the patient consenting to health protocols after reviewing all the information, commonly referred to as “advise and consent”, was manipulated to avoid a vaccine hesitancy in the targeted population, us.

Truckers Freedom Convoy Gathers Massive Public Support as It Crosses Canada


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 24, 2022 | Sundance | 303 Comments

The Canadian ‘Freedom Convoy’ of truckers, pushing back against COVID mandates and forced vaccinations, began late last week and has gained massive support from the public.  The fundraiser for the effort now exceeds $3.3 million dollars and climbing.

Rebel News and other alternative media outlets have joined the convoy [LINK HERE], which not only includes big rig truckers but massive numbers of regular Canadian citizens who are joining the convoy as they head to Ottawa for an arrival date of January 29th.

It is difficult to estimate the scale of the groups as they are coming from multiple directions.

The truck convoys started from British Columbia in the west, Newfoundland in the east, and Windsor, Ontario in the south.

However, cars, SUV’s, vans, and small commercial trucks are now included in the massive convoy lines and joined with the big rigs.

Along the routes people are gathered at intersections and highway overpasses to cheer on the effort.  The scale of growth amid this grassroots movement is really quite remarkable.   For the people of Canada, millions have latched on to this protest as an opportunity to tell the government and public officials that enough is enough.

As noted by Rebel News: ” The nationwide movement is being launched in protest of a federal vaccine mandate that came into effect January 15, requiring all commercial truck drivers crossing into Canada to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. The federal vaccine mandate for truckers has already caused significant supply chain chaos, with delays and shortages affecting many regions across the country. The mandate could result in a loss of 12,000 to 16,000 cross-border commercial drivers, according to the Canadian Trucking Alliance.”
