QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I’m sure you do not remember me. I worked on Capital Hill when you were shuffling around the halls pitching to reform the debt and social security. This interview was too short, and you did not get to explain the full scope of what you were doing. I think you should also state your plan to revise Social Security.
RB
ANSWER: I think you were in the office next to Bill Archer. Yes, you are correct. I was also asked back then to reform Social Security and transform it into a Wealth Fund. That was part of the debt reform to eliminate debt, which meant they used Social Security to buy debt that would have to end. I laid out that we would convert to a Wealth Fund, allocating to managers who submitted their track records only with at least a 10-year live history. The Democrats would not go for it, claiming it was risky, and they wanted to reallocate the fund to managers they selected if they won back the House. The Dow Jones Industrials was 5500 at the time. We would have saved the country and everyone’s future.
The System will crumble, and people will be robbed of their future all because we have career politicians running the government rather than We the People.

The final Bureau of Labor & Statistics (BLS) jobs report before the election was released today. The results are devastating to the Biden economic narrative, yet reflective of the statistical manipulation within prior data. [BLS Report HERE]
Overall, 12,000 jobs were added. However, the private sector lost another 28,000 jobs and government gained 40,000.
Additionally, “the change in total nonfarm payroll employment for August was revised down by 81,000, from +159,000 to +78,000, and the change for September was revised down by 31,000, from +254,000 to +223,000. With these revisions, employment in August and September combined is 112,000 lower than previously reported.” [BLS Report, Table B-1]
Nationally the retail sector lost another 6,400 jobs, but state government increased employment. The host is getting smaller, the parasites are enlarging.
I’m actually a little surprised to see the bureau publish openly damaging information to their aligned administration. However, that may also indicate a certain amount of acceptance of the inevitable on behalf of the BLS data control officials. At a certain point everyone has to admit the emperor has no clothes.
Many businesses are in a holding pattern, having survived the last several years.
Many individuals are one last breath away from drowning.

Next week, those attending the World Economic Conference can pull down this report from your portal. The Crisis in Democracy goes through in detail and reviews even Direct Democracy addressing the criticisms and why this end up as our only alternative.
This report deals in-depth with the Greek Philosophers Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and their criticism of a Direct Democracy compared to our present state of political disaster. This is the way to the future, and this report dives into this critical issue for our future survival as 2032 approaches.
The Report will be available for non-attendees and Virtual Plus at $300 after the conference.
Birth rates are plummeting across the world — America, Canada, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Italy, Japan, Russia, and now England and Wales. Nearly every developed country has seen a large decline in the fertility rate as a direct result of economics. People simply cannot afford the costs associated with raising children and it is slowly changing civilization. England and Wales recently reported the lowest fertility on record since it began collecting data in 1938. Fertility rates in the UK are falling faster than any other G7 nation.
The total fertility rate (TFR) fell to 1.44 per woman in 2023 compared to 1.49 in 2022, marking the lowest on record since the Office for National Statistics (ONS) began collecting data. There were 591,072 new births recorded last year but that is the lowest figure since 1977. The ONS stated that “natural” population replacement may only occur when women have a fertility rate of 2.1 children.
Fertility rates across the world are plummeting but individual nations are seeing their populations explode as a direct result of immigration. In fact, the number of migrants entering the UK far surpasses the birth rate, with an estimated 685,000 migrants entering the UK in 2023.
We are witnessing population replacement at play. Birth rates are declining across developed nations among the citizens who can no longer afford to expand their families. On the other hand, these nations opened their borders and provided free shelter, healthcare, etc., to migrants who are comfortably expanding their families. In the UK, we are witnessing a Christian nation being replaced with Islamic views and ideals as most migrants arrive from the Middle East, and their culture encourages having larger families. We are witnessing a shift in society as the current citizens are being phased out and replaced by newcomers.

Bill Gates has come out to offer his endless support to Kamala Harris, providing her campaign with $50 million. The same news agencies praising Gates for supporting Harris have condemned the likes of Elon Musk for supporting Donald Trump. Gates has been CIVILLY CHARGED in the Netherlands and is perhaps buying favor with the DOJ. If he refuses to show up to testify or be deposed, he could be charged with contempt in the Netherlands, and it would be up to the DOJ if they extradite him or not. Tim Walz even accused Musk of attempting to “buy” the election, but now it’s (D) different.
Musk’s $75 million investment into a GOP super PAC made headlines as most billionaires vote blue. Yes, the same party that touts it must hunt down the rich happen to be supported by the same people. No one has significantly risen taxes on the billionaire elite class. All of those promises and talks of “fair share” are utter propaganda.
The New York Times stated that Bill Gates is primarily concerned about Trump’s global health programs. Gates, who has been in cahoots with foreign labs, creating new vaccines, buying up farmland, and investing in alternative food sources is concerned about global health. Get real. Everyone is acting on the invisible hand in their best interest.
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has offered Kamala his full support. He has a lot riding on the Ukrainian Reconstruction Fund with Blackrock. There are talks of Dimon becoming a Treasury secretary under Harris as well.
Former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has been insufferable in his demonization of Trump. “Elon, there will come a time when you need something from Donald Trump. You will think you will have earned the right to ask and receive. You have been a loyal, faithful soldier for him. You have supported him politically with 10s of millions of dollars. Then, at the point you need him the most, you will find out what so many before you have learned, his loyalty is only to himself,” Cuban wrote online.
“I think part of why Kamala’s getting so much support is that if Trump wins, that Epstein client list is gonna become public,” Musk said. “And some of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome.” Musk firmly believes LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman and Bill Gates are on Epstein’s client list. Yet, the motive is far deeper as the billionaire elites have backed the Democratic Party for quite a long time.
Tech billionaires Reed Hastings, Sheryl Sandberg, Dustin Moskovitz, Ron Conway, Vinod Khosla, and Ron Conway all support Kamala Haris. We know Mike Bloomberg despises Trump and has already pledged $19 million to the Harris-Walz campaign. Laurene Powell Jobs, Sam Altman, and David Ellison have also donated to Haris. Of course we cannot forget the Soros family. Over 76 billionaires currently support Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. One must ask – WHY? Gates has a very clear and sinister motive that no one wants to see carried out. Truly astonishing that the Democrats still position themselves as the class of the working man (or genderless taxpayer).
