Germany is Officially a Surveillance State – Civil Liberties Destroyed


Posted originally on Dec 10, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |

Germany granted itself legal permission to use AI technology to aggressively monitor the entire population in real-time. The Berlin House of Representatives passed amendments to the General Security and Public Order Act (ASOG) that grants government access to citizens’ personal data by any means necessary, including forcibly entering their private homes.

Interior Senator Iris Spranger (SPD) declared the new laws necessary to fight terrorism in the digital age. German investigators may now legally hack IT systems, but if remote access is unavailable, authorities may “secretly enter and search premises” a suspect’s personal residence to confiscate their digital devices. The government does not need to notify citizens that they are under investigation before entering their homes without warning.

Germany will equip public spaces with advanced surveillance technology. The cell tower query will be expanded to enable the government to access data from all private mobile phones. Network operators must be able to tell the government the movement and location of all citizens. License plate scanners will be installed throughout the nation, and that data will be sent to a centralized database.

Deutschland has finally achieved official “1984” status—the nation is implementing unmanned drones to monitor the population.

All personal data may be used for “training and testing of artificial intelligence systems.” Authorities have free rein to steal data from publicly accessible websites to collect biometric comparisons of faces and voices. The government will implement automated facial recognition software that enables it to identify citizens immediately. The database will tie into the nationwide surveillance platform.

You are being watched. Civil liberties do not exist. Freedom is merely an illusion; your likeness—face, voice, movement, finances, family–exists in an ever-expanding government database that may be used however the government sees fit.

AI & The Great Displacement?

AI Bubble

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, there are a lot of people who seem to take your track record and pretend that they have made calls on all sorts of things but lack the data or the computer to back up their claims. They then run some infomercial and go on an on before they tell you what they are selling. The latest scam is how everyone will be displaced by AI and be left destitute unless you listen to them. If they are selling weight loss to financial news, they produce long winded videos that are tiring and its the same formula to sell something. You don’t do that. Is there a great displacement coming because of AI?

Civil Work Force 1900 1980
1860 Civil Workforce

ANSWER: Yes, but what is the definition of “great” that they like to scare people with. The Industrial Revolution’s displacement impact was catastrophic for many in the short term. People absolutely had to learn new ways of working, but this “retraining” was an informal, often brutal process of economic Darwinism—adapt or face destitution. Every new technology has displaced the work force. In 1860, 53% of the civil work force was employed in AGRICULTURE. The Industrial Revolution is what inspired Karl Marx and gave birth to Communism because people suddenly worked for a capitalist and he profited from the real wealth which was labor. By 1900 that 53% had declined to 41% and by 1980 it was 3%. Go back to the 18th century and that is when Adam Smith wrote his Wealth of Nations in 1776 which was a counter-argument against the French Physiocrats who claimed that the wealth of a nation was only agriculture and a blacksmith lived off the wealth of the farmer like a parasite.

So, will AI displace people? Of course, as EVERY technological innovation has done since the Romans invested the aqueduct. This is a complicated subject and it is too extensive for a blog post. We will be covering this at the WEC and we will may the AI report available after the conference.

Layoffs Continue – UPS and Amazon Switch to AI


Posted originally on Oct 30, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |  

New and seasonal hires are typically announced during Q4. The opposite is unfolding amid stagflation. UPS announced that, despite favorable earnings, it has cut its operational workforce by 34,000 positions, greater than the initial estimate of 20,000, and an additional 14,000 positions from management. Shrinking a package delivery service ahead of the holiday season signals a broader trend.

Artificial intelligence has been employed in operations to meet growing customer demand. The service has loosened its ties with Amazon, delivering 21.2% fewer packages than last quarter while demand during the first half of the year declined by 13%.

Amazon itself will cut its workforce by 14,000 in the short term. Similar to UPS, the reduction in workforce is not a result of reduced earnings. A leaked memo also detailed that Amazon will need 600,000 fewer employees in the years to come. Careful rhetoric will surround the shift as people fear AI technology.

As Amazon detailed in a blog post:

“Some may ask why we’re reducing roles when the company is performing well. Across our businesses, we’re delivering great customer experiences every day, innovating at a rapid rate, and producing strong business results. What we need to remember is that the world is changing quickly. This generation of AI is the most transformative technology we’ve seen since the Internet, and it’s enabling companies to innovate much faster than ever before (in existing market segments and altogether new ones). We’re convinced that we need to be organized more leanly, with fewer layers and more ownership, to move as quickly as possible for our customers and business.”

Schumpeter BusinessCycle Waves of Creative Destruction

This is Joseph Schumpeter’s theory of creative destruction at play. Innovation is paving the way for new technology while leaving the past behind.

Amazon itself and online shopping paved the way for the destruction of the brick-and-mortar stores. By 2020, when the world shut down, consumers relied on the internet for most of their shopping. Amazon expanded by 625% from 2010 to 2020 and continues to grow.

The Industrial Revolution expanded, and the Industrialists, led by the auto stocks, drove the 1929 bull market. The invention of the combustion engine led to tractors for farmers, disproving the theories of Malthus that humanity would starve as the population increased. He never understood the cycles of technology, yet he influenced Gates and the Rockefellers. As farmers had tractors, production increased while employment declined.

Horse Carriage

The horse and buggy were replaced with automobiles. As they expanded, the suburbs came alive. Suddenly, people could live in places without trains. The town I grew up in flourished because we had a train station, which enabled people to buy land and move out of the cities. The town I grew up in expanded further from the train station with the automobile.

Creative Destruction Waves cause unemployment to rise, but commerce expands. The shift from humans to AI is happening now. This will disrupt the system, but the world will adapt as it always does.

Grokpedia


Posted originally on Oct 29, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |  

Elon Musk singlehandedly resurrected social media after purchasing Twitter (X) and providing all with a platform for free speech. Musk is using his influence to create an alternative to Wikipedia dubbed Grokpedia that he deemed as “a necessary step toward the xAI goal of understanding the Universe.”

Wikipedia has become one of the most viewed websites in the world, but can it be trusted as a reliable source? Co-founder Larry Sanger is now warning the public not to trust the website he helped to create. “You can trust it to give an establishment view,” Sanger admitted as he explained that the website’s original design has been destroyed.

Wikipedia was initially created as an open online resource that was committed to neutrality. Between 2004-2009, Sanger said Wikipedia was a pioneer in delivering news from a non-biased perspective but that quickly changed. Users had the ability to edit various pages and debate the information from both sides of the platform, but now it is nearly impossible for the average person to participate. “If you make any edit at all you will be sternly warned or kicked out,” Sanger said, noting this often happens on articles that are “unimportant.”

Wikipedia is often the first search result on any given search engine. Ever since the ECM turned in 2015.75, Wikipedia has been usurped as a political propaganda machine by the Deep State. Wikipedia circumvents the law because nobody really owns Wikipedia. They claim that all editors are anonymous, so you have to go to court to try to find out who is posting. Even their moderators, whom they call “SysOps,” are anonymous, which breeds secrecy and encourages fraud. They know they can do anything and cannot be sued, for you do not even know who they are — the ultimate propaganda machine (black box).

All of the intelligence agencies are participating. The only thing Wikipedia tracks is your IP, and that can be faked. After these anonymous people make 500 edits without proving that they are even qualified on the subject, they become an “Extended Confirmed User”  and can become an “administrator,” aka SysOps. Then this anonymous person can undo changes, block users, delete pages, and even edit pages that are supposed to be fully protected.’

The Deep State is attempting to control the narrative by controlling information accessible on the internet. In recent months, Wikipedia editors repeatedly attempted to remove the story on the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee. “Nothing is remarkable about this,” the editors at Wikipedia claim. Wikipedia was eager to cover the death of George Floyd and has enshrined his memory with a page that recognizes the global outrage that followed his death. The mainstream media has a particular agenda and selectively chooses what narratives it wants the masses to believe.

Musk’s alternative website could reform the internet and circumvent the digital information blackout.

David Ellison Purchases The Free Press for $150 Million, Appoints Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS News

This is exactly as expected.  Larry Ellison now controls TikTok while his son David Ellison now controls Paramount/Skydance which is CBS.  To solidify the objective of TikTok, new algorithms will be implemented, while to solidify the objective of CBS, Bari Weiss is hired as Editor-in-Chief of news. [Paramount Announcement]

The Trump administration assisted both the purchase of TikTok by Larry Ellison, and the acquisition of Paramount by David Ellison.  CBS settled with President Trump for $16 million.  Paramount then purchases/acquires Bari Weiss online site The Free Press and moves Weiss to editor of CBS news, while President Trump triggers a tariff against Hollywood production movies not made in the USA.

L Ellison (Oracle, TikTok), Musk (X, SpaceX), Thiel (Palantir), Sacks (Crypto), Karp (Palantir) and D Ellison (CBS) are all well positioned to fundamentally change the way information is processed for public consumption.  CNN (Disney) is likely to be the final piece of the puzzle to be assembled.

David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Bari and The Free Press to Paramount and CBS News. Bari is a proven champion of independent, principled journalism, and I am confident her entrepreneurial drive and editorial vision will invigorate CBS News. This move is part of Paramount’s bigger vision to modernize content and the way it connects – directly and passionately – to audiences around the world.” (LINK)

(VIA NEW YORK TIMES) –  […] In a move that is expected to shake up the broadcast news landscape, CBS’s owner, Paramount, said on Monday that it was buying The Free Press, an upstart digital news site founded just four years ago, and appointing Ms. Weiss, one of its founders, as the editor in chief of CBS News.

The purchase price was roughly $150 million in cash and Paramount stock, according to two people familiar with the terms who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The total amount will be paid out over time, and it may fluctuate depending on the price of Paramount’s stock.

The acquisition puts one of the country’s most traditional news institutions — the former home of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite — under the editorial guidance of a journalist who rose to fame in part by critiquing old-line media institutions that she deemed timid and untrustworthyMs. Weiss is also a stalwart champion of Israel, and her site frequently lambastes the perceived excesses of the so-called woke left.

Ms. Weiss, 41, has never run a TV network, and in her role will have influence over hundreds of producers, anchors and reporters around the world. She will report to David Ellison, Paramount’s chief executive, and work alongside Tom Cibrowski, the president of CBS News. (read more)

We are entering an entirely new era in information delivery.
