The Real Digital Plot


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Jun 19, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The move to end paper money and move toward a national cryptocurrency took a major step recently when the House Financial Services Committee task force expressed support for experiments to create a digital cryptocurrency version of the U.S. dollar. They argued that the United States had to keep pace with China, and in the process, they enable all Americans to access the digital economy. Neha Narula, who is the academic director of MIT’s Digital Currency Project, testified claiming, as they did in creating the euro, that the benefits of a digital dollar will lower costs within the electronic payment system. Of course, China also cracks down on protesters in Hong Kong. Obviously, the United States must crackdown on all dissent and cancel them from society to keep pace with China.

For years, I have watched behind the curtain how they operate. I believe that Bitcoin was “ALLOWED” to be created for the sole purpose of moving to a digital currency. Just as they float a balloon in first to see how the market reacts, which allows them to always deny it.

Nobody knows who invented blockchain. Don’t you find it curious that such a major invention takes place and nobody takes credit? Even the notorious government propaganda site, Wikipedia, states: “The blockchain was invented by a person (or group of people) using the name Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 to serve as the public transaction ledger of the cryptocurrency bitcoin.” This appears to be the perfect COVERT operation, for blockchain allows the government to trace every person who handled that Bitcoin.

This entire cryptocurrency has been sold as somehow circumventing the central banks, and it will defeat fiat currency when in fact it too is not backed by anything tangible. It has been a creative sales job just like COVID telling people their lives are at risk and we have to lock down the world because you only have a 99.5% chance of survival.

Summers Larry

They floated the balloon to move to NEGATIVE interest rates in 2014. I reported back in 2014 that when Larry Summers said interest rates should be NEGATIVE, he was flying a balloon to see how it was taken by the markets. I warned, “Negative interest rates are coming. When the economy turns down after 2015.75, they cannot lower rates that are already too low, so in their mind, they have to go negative. You will be taxed effectively on money you do not spend.” Shortly after that, the head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, came out and agreed to say that NEGATIVE interest rates were possible.

They always float a balloon, and it is done by someone who is NOT part of the current government, as was the case with Larry Summers — the father of NEGATIVE interest rates. All the intellectuals hail it as brilliant as they are now doing with the Great Reset. Once it becomes accepted, they move in for the kill.

Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum are doing precisely that. This is the BALLOON they are floating, and the governments need not risk their lives this way. They are allowing this to unfold one drop at a time. When they are done, you will have lost everything, and your posterity will become economic slaves fed prearranged propaganda, which is not really that different from “The Matrix.”

All governments in the West are on board. They have allowed Schwab to sell this idea to the people, and as they are conditioned, they will move forward. This is the enslavement of the population all because of their fiscal mismanagement of borrowing endlessly year after year with no intention of EVER paying anything back.

This entire Build Back Better agenda also requires a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. They are now trying to sell that idea, and I believe that is why they needed the Biden and Harris team, as they may not be intelligent enough to understand the implications.

They are pitching for an IMF cryptocurrency to enable a one-world monetary system that would be entirely traceable and thus will get every penny of tax. You will notice Biden has already been pushing for a 15% international corporate tax rate. They want to control everything. They refuse to take any responsibility. Their failures from the fiscal mismanagement of socialism are blamed on tax evasion, and they pretend they would not have deficits if everyone paid.

Listen to Schwab talking about the unrest because those with the “gray market” jobs will be unemployed. This is the objective. We will surrender all rights so they can try a totalitarian form of government. Once a politician tastes power, they can never relinquish it.

Arizona Audit Liaison Ken Bennett Explains Current Status of Maricopa County Audit and Next Steps


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 18, 2021 | Sundance | 39 Comments

Former Arizona Secretary of State and current senate liaison for the Maricopa County audit, Ken Bennett, gives an interesting interview to John Fredricks Outside The Beltway podcast to share the current status of the Maricopa County audit.

Mr. Bennett notes the hand audit of the original ballots is nearing completion as they finish out the last several batches of duplicated ballots. However, the audit of the electronic records is more challenging because the Maricopa Board of Supervisors are refusing to give information related to the Routers used (verification of non-internet connection) and administrative passwords for the tabulation machines.

Additionally, the auditors need to review 1.9 million envelopes that need to have signatures in order to qualify as valid mail-in ballots/votes.  Without signatures the envelopes should never have been opened and the ballots disqualified.  The audit team needs to check the envelopes for signatures.  There will also be a few weeks where physical canvassing of the region will take place for identified “voting anomalies” (ex. 52 ballots from a single family home).   The entire process is likely to flow into August before the final report is assembled.  WATCH:

Glenn Greenwald Asks Reasonable Questions About the FBI’s Involvement in January 6th Capitol Hill Event


Posted originally on the conservative tree on June 18, 2021 | Sundance | 236 Comments

While journalist Darren Beattie insults CTH for pointing out the flaws in his advocacy (calling CTH “autistic and stupid“, duly noted), journalist Glenn Greenwald focuses his intellectual armament against the correct enemy highlighting the pattern of the FBI infiltrating and manipulating domestic groups.  Greenwald has a solid outline on Substack worth reading (excerpt):

Greenwald – […] “If the FBI had advanced knowledge of what was being plotted yet did nothing to stop the attack, it raises numerous possibilities about why that is. It could be that they just had yet another “intelligence failure” of the kind that they claimed caused them to miss the 9/11 attack and therefore need massive new surveillance authorities, budget increases, and new Patriot-Act-type laws to fix it. It could be that they allowed the riot to happen because they did not take it seriously enough or because some of them supported the cause behind it, or because they realized that there would be benefits to the security state if it happened. Or it could be that they were using those operatives under their control to plot with, direct, and drive the attack — as they have done so many times in the past — and allowed it to happen out of either negligence or intent.” (continue reading)

Greenwald’s points, and his historic references, are well taken; actually, Greenwald’s outline reminded CTH of an event in 2015 that in hindsight has a very similar pattern and reference point(s).

Do you remember the 2015 Waco, Texas, Twin Peaks shooting/massacre?

Everything about the “Twin Peaks” massacre in 2015 was sketchy from the outset.  There were local, state and federal law enforcement units surrounding the gathering of the bikers at the restaurant.  No-one admits exactly who started the shooting (claims are disputed) but when the smoke cleared many of the dead bikers were shot by .223 rifle ammunition, later identified as the ammunition carried in the weapons of the SWAT and federal snipers who were pre-positioned around the venue.

Hundreds of shots were fired from the perimeter of the building by law enforcement directly into the crowd.  You might remember the FBI (“federal law enforcement”) took over the investigation and the forensics results from bullets retrieved were sealed as part of the investigation.  Almost two-hundred people were arrested, many charged with “conspiracy”, but not a single person was ever convicted of any crime.  Only one case brought to court, and they couldn’t even get close to a conviction. Not a single conviction of any crime.

After a few years of obfuscation, muddled attempts at framing prosecution, and a district attorney who would not release any information to the defense lawyers, the prosecution dropped the cases against all of the people involved.

Poof, just like that, the story of a massive shooting event just disappeared…

2019 – “Such was the mayhem of the gunfight that erupted between biker gangs at a Texas restaurant four years ago, that it may never be entirely clear how the clash that left nine people dead and 20 injured actually unfurled.

But the public now knows exactly how the criminal investigations into the bloody shootout ended: after 177 arrests and 155 indictments, there was one trial and no convictions.

[…] Little evidence has been made public, but details obtained by the Associated Press suggested that four of the bikers were struck with bullets from .223-caliber rifles – the only type of weapon used by Waco police that day.

Police and the district attorney’s office declined to comment on those details at the time, but defended the officers’ use of force.” (read more)

There was not a single conviction for any crime, ANY CRIME, for any of the 177 people arrested. All of the cases were just dropped.

It was absolutely certain the feds had undercover agents in both the Bandidos and Cossacks motorcycle clubs (ie. gangs), as law enforcement had attributed a wide-variety of criminal behaviors including drugs, racketeering, murder, conspiracy and violence to both nationwide organizations.  Approximately three years after the Twin Peaks massacre, in 2018, the leaders of the Bandidos were arrested on unrelated charges.

The framed-up charges of “conspiracy” against those 177 arrested bikers in Texas have a similar smell to the 200 arrests, some for “conspiracy”, in the January 6th DC riot.

Perhaps once the January 6th political narrative is exhausted those prosecutions will also be dropped, and poof – the story will just disappear.

After Meeting With Russian President Vladimir Putin Joe Biden Freezes Military Assistance to Ukraine


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 18, 2021 | Sundance | 210 Comments

President Donald Trump was impeached under the false pretense of withholding military assistance from Ukraine (he never did).  Intelligence Community operative Lt. Col Alexander Vindman testified to congress that President Trump’s decision to pause military assistance to Ukraine was evidence of some suspicious relationship between President Trump and Russian President Putin….  The media proclaimed Trump was working to assist Russia because President Putin likely had pee tapes, or something.

Fast forward a little more than a year, Joe Biden meets with Putin, gets eviscerated and embarrassed by the diplomatic smack-down from the Russian President, and suddenly Joe Biden is freezing formerly approved military assistance for Ukraine….  IMPEACH !

WASHINGTON DC – The Biden White House has temporarily halted a military aid package to Ukraine that would include lethal weapons, a plan originally made in response to aggressive Russian troop movements along Ukraine’s border this spring.

The aid package would be worth up to $100 million, according to four people familiar with internal deliberations.

The National Security Council directed officials to put the package together, as Washington grew increasingly concerned over a massive Russian military buildup near the border with Ukraine and in the Crimean Peninsula, according to three of the people, who like the others asked not to be named in order to speak candidly about internal discussions. Officials at the State Department and Pentagon worked to assemble the proposal. (read more)

USA’s Forever Wars


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Jun 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The House voted on Thursday to repeal the war resolution that paved the way for the U.S. military invasion of Iraq. This has allowed for what people have called America’s “forever wars.” The Senate has said they will take it up and the White House says it will sign it. Perhaps this will get to the White House simply because under Trump, I wanted this act but they would never get it to the White House.

Republicans and Conservative Pundits Walking into a Trap Demanding Congressional Investigation of FBI Involvement on Jan 6th DC Event


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 17, 2021 | Sundance | 178 Comments

Last night CTH highlighted the flaw in the Tucker Carlson (Fox News) and Darren Beattie (Revolver News) advocacy for a Senate investigation into the FBI involvement with the January 6th DC protest/insurrection {Go Deep}.  Bottom Line: legislative oversight has consistently been participating in the corruption carried out by intelligence agencies and FBI.

Tonight I want to warn everyone of the trap that exists if this advocacy for a legislative approach continues.  Republicans are right now walking into a trap.  Read this next line carefully:  The January 6th Commission is to MAGA voters what the Mueller investigation was to President Trump.

The Senate vote to support Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Commission only failed by five votes. The final cloture vote was 54-35.  Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Mitt Romney of Utah and Rob Portman of Ohio all supported the commission. Pat Toomey (PA) would have supported, but he was absent for the vote.  Senators Blackburn (R-TN), Blunt (R-MO), Braun (R-IN), Burr (R-NC), Inhofe (R-OK), Murray (D-WA), Risch (R-ID), Rounds (R-SD), Shelby (R-AL), Sinema (D-AZ) and Toomey (R-PA) did not vote.

If republicans keep demanding a senate investigation into the FBI involvement on January 6th events, it will only take a few moves before Schumer and Pelosi twist that demand to say “then why didn’t you support the January 6th commission?”… and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would love nothing more than to bring that vote to approve the commission back to the floor.  I would even suggest that due to new demands by republicans in media, Mitch McConnell would support it.

Let me be clear, that January 6th Commission will be entirely run by democrats and their Lawfare operatives within staff.  The purpose of that commission would carry the same intents as the Mueller investigation in 2017 through 2019: to frame a narrative against their political opposition.    The difference this time would be that President Trump would not be the intended sole target; the Pelosi January 6th commission would be targeting Trump voters.

Investigations are only done by DC to serve their own interests.  Sometimes those interests are in throwing a bag over DC corruption: Fast n Furious, Benghazi Committee, IRS scandal and the VA scandal for recent reference points.  However, sometimes those DC interests are best protected by targeting opposition to DC itself, just like the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel.

Again, the legislative branch was/is working with the executive branch on the common objectives of a corrupt intelligence apparatus, that includes the FBI {examples here}. So the legislative branch is not going to investigate intelligence community or FBI corruption.  The HPSCI and SSCI are participants in the corruption, they will not investigate themselves regardless of whether Democrats or Republicans control the chambers.  This is not a partisan issue.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was not only involved in the intelligence targeting of President Trump through surveillance and counterintelligence operations; the SSCI was actively participating in that targeting and doing everything they could to assist the FBI, DOJ and Intelligence community (IC) on that goal.

Anyone who is advocating for the legislative branch to be the solution to intense internal corruption within the DOJ, FBI or Intelligence Community is only setting themselves up for a total failure.  However, beyond failure it will backfire.

The MAGA voters (the republican base) will be targeted, ridiculed and marginalized in the run up to the 2022 election.  They will be made to look like domestic terrorists, “Domestic Violent Extremists”, and much worse as defined by collusion between a corrupt FBI and a corrupt U.S. corporate media.  That is the entire purpose of the commission that passed the House and was narrowly defeated in the Senate.

Do not be naive to think the GOP want the FBI involvement in the January 6 events to be exposed any more than the Republican wing of the UniParty wanted to see the IRS targeting of conservative groups exposed.  The vast majority of DC republicans want to see the MAGA base destroyed just like they wanted to see the Tea Party base destroyed so they could get back to the business of self-indulgence in 2012.

Remember the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel was created while Republicans held control over the House and Senate in 2017.  It was republicans as well as democrats who wanted to see President Trump removed.  Republicans held both chambers of congress in 2017, and supported the special counsel appointment then demanded it be protected.   The January 6th commission would be organized with the same motives and intents.  Only they wouldn’t be erasing Trump, they will be erasing YOU.

The activity by the FBI in the January 6th events should be researched and investigated, but don’t fall into the trap of demanding congress to do the investigation.  They will weaponize that request against our interests.

Instead of giving our enemy ammunition, keep supporting independent research, demanding documents and identifying evidence of the FBI involvement by any means legally possible.  Then help the legal defense teams of those who are being charged in the cases to use their position as defendants to demand evidence in the cases against their clients.

All of the lawyers with clients under federal charges should use the full weight of the legal system to demand “Brady Evidence” that supports the innocence of their clients against the ridiculous accusations by the DOJ.  The defense teams should be allowed access to CCTV footage and any evidence of FBI informants who had contact with the accused.

In essence use the legal system to discover the evidence of FBI corruption while simultaneously defending their clients.  A recent example for this approach might be how Sidney Powell defended Michael Flynn and used discovery demands to highlight gross government abuses by the DOJ/FBI against her transparently innocent client.

The defense lawyers could organize a group defense fund for just this purpose and then ask the public for money.  Every client would benefit from the findings.

It is beyond absolute that anyone who advocates for the legislative branch to investigate the FBI involvement in January 6th, is only supporting the interests of the DC system and UniParty who would love nothing more than to have public pressure on them to investigate their own role.

Alas, I fear we are only a few days away from this exact scenario happening, unless people wake up soon.

Arizona Chairwoman Kelli Ward Updates on The Maricopa County Audit and The SCOTUS Issue of Ballot Harvesting


Posted originally on the conservative house on June 17, 2021 | Sundance | 122 Comments

Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward provides an update today on the Maricopa County ballot audit and other election integrity issues.

As Mrs. Ward notes the hand count portion of the audit is complete with only the braille ballots left to be reviewed.  However, one of the larger issues of election integrity needs to continue being highlighted, ballot harvesting.  The issue of ballot harvesting is rife with the potential for fraud.  Mrs Ward notes the process of ballot harvesting does not align with chain-of-custody requirements and the people, groups and organizations who conduct ballot harvesting have a sketchy history.

What the chairwoman calls “ballot harvesters”, should also be identified as “voting mules”.  The term mule will surface more frequently as it differentiates between taking custody of a legitimate ballot on behalf of a voter, versus a process of creating votes through manipulation of ballots and voter files.

mule will collect or retrieve blank ballots, take them to a centralized processing facility where they are filled out, and then drop them off at ballot collection sites.  While both processes are fraught with election manipulation, there is a significant difference in what a harvester does -vs- what a mule does.

Florida GOP Congressional Candidate Caught on Microphone Threatening to Kill Rival Candidate, Paulina Luna


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 17, 2021 | Sundance | 183 Comments

I am really interested in the opinion of this story from readers who remember the era, tactics and strategies of former GOP consultant ¹Lee Atwater.  I cannot read this bizarre and unstable story without thinking about the stuff Atwater used to do….

The Tampa Bay, Florida, area congressional seat currently occupied by Charlie Crist is going to be vacant as Crist runs for Florida Governor in 2022 against republican Ron DeSantis.

As a result there are many people lining up to run for the Tampa area congressional district.  One of the leading republican candidates is Paulina Luna who lost to Crist in 2020 (local election ballot fraud not withstanding).

However, a story in Politico today outlines a lower-tier GOP candidate threatening to kill Paulina Luna if it looks like she will win the primary.  The entire story is beyond weird, including how and why someone would have begun recording the conversation in the first place; then the goofy story is delivered to lefty Politico exclusively (ergo very Atwater-esque).

MIAMI — A little-known GOP candidate in one of Florida’s most competitive congressional seats was secretly recorded threatening to send “a Russian and Ukrainian hit squad” to a fellow Republican opponent to make her “disappear.”

During a 30-minute call with a conservative activist that was recorded before he became a candidate, William Braddock repeatedly warned the activist to not support GOP candidate Anna Paulina Luna in the Republican primary for a Tampa Bay-area congressional seatbecause he had access to assassins. The seat is being vacated by Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla.), who is running for governor.

[…] “I really don’t want to have to end anybody’s life for the good of the people of the United States of America,” Braddock said at one point in the conversation last week, according to the recording exclusively obtained by POLITICO. “That will break my heart. But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Luna is a f—ing speed bump in the road. She’s a dead squirrel you run over every day when you leave the neighborhood.”  (read more)

Ballot Problems Persist in Atlanta, Georgia – Missing Ballots, Missing Logs, Duplicated Ballot Scans and Worse


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 17, 2021 | Sundance | 280 Comments

To say there are sketchy issues in Fulton County, Georgia, elections would be the understatement of the year.  So many issues have been raised with the Atlanta area 2020 election processes it would be impossible to encapsulate them in one article.  However, one consistent pattern continues…. It appears specific lots of ballots -all favoring Joe Biden- were counted multiple times.

The multiple counting issue is just one aspect, one point of data, that current lawsuits within the region are attempting to resolve.  The scanning of the same batches of ballots multiple times would explain the “missing batches” issue.  The batches are “missing” because they were simply not batches at all, they were duplicate scans of ballots that had already been counted.

Additionally, fraudulent ballots created on non secure paper, which appear to have been made on copy machines, is another issue (some of that touched here).   That issue has been directly confirmed to CTH by an election worker who was part of the original count and who noted there were ballots on paper that was not authorized as print stock for the original ballots.

The audit of 147,000 sketchy absentee ballots might start to unravel these and may other issues that have become problematic for the Atlanta area election officials to hide.  Fulton County officials have already admitted to violations in state election law surrounding chain-of-custody documents; and into this mix of information comes a report from John Solomon and Daniel Payne about internal election communication and notes that seem to confirm the Fulton County officials were attempting to deal with election manipulation. {SEE HERE}

(Just the News) – […] scores of batches of absentee ballots that appeared missing from the documents and more than two dozen batches of absentee ballots that appear to have been double or triple-counted in Fulton County. (read more)

There are seven targeted voter regions where similar ballot issues and statistical impossibilities have been identified nationwide: Fulton County, Georgia; Wayne County, Michigan; Maricopa County, Arizona; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Clark County, Nevada; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Madison, Wisconsin.

In these key areas, and a few others, massive data has been purchased by election integrity groups {Go Deep} and the results of their projects to assemble that data is soon to be made public.

CTH anticipates a massive amount of push-back from the U.S. Department of Justice based solely on the findings of cell phone data that has tracked “vote mules” via geolocation and mapping.  These are ground-level activists that appear to have been part of a coordinated effort to collect ballots, walk them through a process where they were filled out in a single location, and then drop them off at collection and tabulation sites.

Keep in mind many of ballot collection sites have CCTV systems; some CCTV operations were actually mandated by legislation that authorized the collection drop-off locations. It is not coincidental that public records requests for those CCTV recordings are being met with hostile denials and efforts to stall production.

The bottom line is this…. AG Merrick Garland knows a powder keg is very likely to explode as soon as the majority of American people discover just how manipulated the election of 2020 was. His announcement to double the staff of the DOJ Civil Rights Division voter unit is not to protect election integrity, but rather to position his resources for a war against a looming storm of election review outcomes….
