We have a MAJOR problem with Ukraine. This is NOT about defending their territory or fake democracy when Zelensky has suspended any election to maintain his dictatorship as long as there is a raging war. Ukraine has invaded Russia, and last night, Zelensky launched scores of attack drones, even targeting Moscow. If China invaded the US and landed in California and was 500 miles into the state and was launching missiles then at Washington, DC, would we do nothing?

Putin is the ONLY adult among world leaders who fully understands the ramifications of what NATO and the American Neocons are doing – trying to provoke a response where Putin attacks anything in NATO so they can pretend he is the aggressor to launch World War III. This was staged to influence the debate tonight on ABC, a Neocon mouthpiece. Trump and RFK are anti-war, and we may see Kamala or ABC use questions to resurrect that Trump is a Putin Puppet because he is against World War III, as is RFK. If they use this attack tonight, you know this was a set-up. The Democrats are flooding the emails with requests for endless donations.

Nuke or Coup

Can you imagine China invading California and Washington doing nothing? There would be a call to impeach the president immediately. This is my concern. Despite all the propaganda by the Western press that is choreographed by the Neocons, with many quoting as their source, the ISW (Institute for the Study of War), which the Neocon Victoria Nuland’s sister-in-law runs, Putin is NOT a warmonger. If he is overthrown, trust me, it will be by someone far less restrained.

Today, the Neocons follow the same playbook used by FDR. Congress would not issue a Declaration of War to enter WWII in Europe. FDR did whatever he could to force the Japanese to attack, which was the justification for entering World War II. We are following the same playbook. Because it came out that the US had already broken the Japanese code, they knew about the coming attack. There was a Senate Investigation into this manipulation of Congress.   There was even a leak to the press that the Japanese might attack Pearl Harbor on November 30th, before the attack of December 7th, 1941.

I fear that unless Putin uses a tactical nuclear weapon inside Russia to eradicate the invading Ukrainian force, we may see a coup where he is overthrown. The ONLY way to wake up the West is to demonstrate that he will use a nuke for NATO, and the American Neocons say he is bluffing. That is the only way to get the West to question our leaders.

These Neocons and NATO say that Russia is weak to support the idea that Ukraine has invaded Russia, and they are weak so that NATO can take Russia in just three days. This is why Adam Kinzinger and Cheney’s daughter are pushing Republicans for Kamala because she is the stooge of the Neocons, just like Biden. These people cannot sleep at night if there is world peace. They are the warmongers, and it is like I punch you in the face and call it self-defense because I know you want to hit me first.

Russia’s version of Neocons would respond if they overthrow Putin, for they also want World War III. Every country has its LEFT and RIGHT. The same is true in China. If these Neocons seize power worldwide in all three superpowers, we are in for a very bad time. Then, the nukes will be flying.

Zelensky in F16

Zelensky is an actor. He has destroyed Ukraine and boasts that he will get trillions to rebuild Ukraine and line his pockets. Of course, our computer warns that Ukraine will not exist as a nation after 2027. He hates Russians and wants to destroy the country completely. The mister in Estonia has come out and had the audacity to say that Russia is too big and should be carved up, and the West will rape the assets of Russia, which was the goal of Napoleon and Hitler.

JFK on War

There has never been a war that has EVER ended as expected. I believe it has been declassified that the plan to invade Iraq was assumed they would conclude in a few weeks and then move to invade Iran. They never were able to subdue Iraq as quickly as they predicted. This nonsense that Russia is weak will be the downfall of the West. They took JFK out because he, too, was anti-war.

Our computer has been targeting the week of September 9th for months. It was the strongest target for the month in Russia. When you look at Ukraine, we enter a Panic Cycle next week, and a two-week trend unfolds. Europe and the US appear to get more serious at the end of the month. Don’t forget: It was the assassination of the heir to the throne there in Sareavo that launched World War I.

How to Read the July Jobs Report


Posted Sep 9, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Jobs

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics released its report for July, indicating a slight uptick in employment. It is difficult to trust BLS data after their latest data revision that showed the Biden-Harris Administration have failed to create new jobs outside of the public sector. It was their steepest revision to data since 2009, yet all eyes were on July’s report. The headlines are optimistic about the workforce but fail to note two main issues – manufacturing is declining while the public sector is rising.

JobsReportJuly2024

Manufacturing appeared flat during Q1 but it has been on the decline ever since as corporations move their operations overseas to avoid US regulation and taxation. The Biden-Harris Administration pledged to attract 1 million new manufacturing jobs in 2024. They believe that the CHIPS Act, Inflation Reduction Act, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will attract business and spent billions on these measures that have failed to produce a single job. Initial data claimed that manufacturing was soaring under Biden but that was only due to businesses reopening after the pandemic. The BLS first claimed Biden added 765,000 manufacturing jobs before revising that figure down by 115,000 but even that was completely inaccurate. Estimates now believe manufacturing sharply declined by 96,000 by mid-2022 and has been contracting ever since. The most recent report found that July shed 24,000 positions but we should expect this figure to be optimistic.

Trump added 462,000 to the sector during his first two years before it declined by 43,000 during 2019. The COVID lockdowns caused the sector to plummet by 1.4 million jobs, 770,000 positions were later recovered before Trump left office but there was a net loss of 188,000 positions by the end of Trump’s term.

The White House promotes the manufacturing propaganda on its website:

“While our work isn’t finished, Bidenomics is already delivering for the American people. Our economy has added more than 13 million jobs—including nearly 800,000 manufacturing jobs—and we’ve unleashed a manufacturing and clean energy boom.”

Admittedly, the sector was always beginning to see problems before Biden took office, however, Biden then spent hundreds of billions on acts to attract manufacturing and they ALL failed. BIDENOMICS HAS FAILED.

The White House paints a different picture:

“None of this progress was an accident or inevitable—it has been a direct result of Bidenomics. And rather than taking us back to the failed trickle-down policies of the past, President Biden is committed to finishing the job and continuing to build an economy that finally works for working families—with better jobs, lower costs, and more opportunity.”

Then we have the growing public sector that multiplied under Biden-Harris. The public sector added an additional 24,000 positions in July. Biden openly stated that he wanted to expand the government by at least 82,000 positions in FY24 and this seems to be the one promise he made good on. Every federal agency received a budget boost for this fiscal year with an emphasis on increasing the Treasury Department.

Bidenomics has failed and businesses continue to flee overseas. America is beginning to see a recession in manufacturing at a time when the US needs to produce more. Instead, we are wasting countless resources by growing government to the highest level since World War II. The proper way to analyze this jobs report is to view it as expenses rising and production declining. This will contribute to the coming stagflation that we will see in this economy as GDP declines.

Colin Gray, Father of 14-Year-Old School Shooter, Charged with Murder and Manslaughter


Posted originally on the CTH on September 7, 2024 | Sundance 

This is an interesting aspect to the latest school shooting in Georgia, and I’m not sure exactly what to think of this new approach. The father of the 14-year-old shooter Colt Gray, has been arrested and charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced the arrest of Colin Gray, the father of Colt Gray, the 14-year-old boy accused of opening fire at Apalachee High School, resulting in the deaths of four individuals including two students and two teachers.

Colin Gray, aged 54, faces severe charges including four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children, highlighting the escalating scrutiny on parental responsibilities in safeguarding firearms. (more)

Arrest warrants said he caused the deaths of others “by providing a firearm to Colt Gray with knowledge that he was threat to himself and others.”

(Via CNN) – […] “The key issue in the case against the father here will be: recklessness, foreseeability, how he handled the gun in relation to his son,” Toobin told CNN on Thursday night.

Colin Gray could face up to 180 years in prison if convicted on all counts, state Judge Currie Mingledorff said during a Friday hearing.

Central to the case against Gray will be an interaction the father and his son had with law enforcement more than a year before Wednesday’s mass shooting; the teenager’s access to the weapon used in the attack; and what the father knew about the boy’s mental state, experts told CNN, as a portrait of the teenager’s tumultuous family life emerges.

In May 2023, law enforcement questioned Colt and his father about online threats “to commit a school shooting,” the FBI has said. Colt at the time denied making the threats, and his father told authorities his son did not have unsupervised access to hunting guns in the house.

Just seven months later, the suspect’s father purchased the firearm allegedly used in the mass shooting as a holiday present for his son, two law enforcement sources told CNN. The AR-15-style rifle was bought at a local gun store as a Christmas present, one source said. (read more)

On its face, this does seem like the action of a reckless parent in purchasing a firearm for his son just after there was evidence linking the son to online threats of violence.  And yes, factually there are several precedents for parents being held criminally responsible for the actions of their minor children.  However, I’m not sure about the criminal justice system being consistent and charging a parent with second degree murder.

There are hundreds of non-school fatal shootings that could be tied to the reckless action of parents, either by willful blindness or complicity; some in gang related killings.

Is it just the venue, the school shooting aspect, that suddenly draws the attention toward the father Colin Gray?

What about the youth shootings in Chicago, Los Angeles or Baltimore that are carried out by underage teens and yet the parents are never charged.  What happens in those cases.

What are your thoughts about this new accountability model being placed upon the parents?

Liz Cheney Says Her and her Father Will Vote for Kamala Harris


Posted originally on the CTH on September 6, 2024 | Sundance

There are many people who still do not quite fully understand and accept the role of the Intelligence Community (IC) in the manipulation of American politics. Perhaps this recent announcement by Liz Cheney and her father, Dick Cheney the former Defense Secretary, will awaken a few more.

Go back to the 2016 election and the rise of outsider, then candidate Donald Trump. There was one other genuine outsider in the race, Ben Carson.

Who was moved into position as Carson’s campaign manager during that well-documented “splitter strategy” effort to install the Hillary Clinton/Jeb Bush illusion of choice? Answer: Mary Cheney. Yes, the IC has a lot of ways to wrap their tentacles around any individual they need to control.

During remarks earlier today, Liz Cheney said herself and her father would be supporting Kamala Harris. Additionally, the Cheney family would be working earnestly to defeat Ted Cruz in the Texas senate race. This represents a significant shift in position toward Cruz, following the Bush and Cheney relationship with the Texan.

(Via Politico) – Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney made clear her war against former President Donald Trump won’t be limited to her endorsement of Kamala Harris.

In an interview Friday at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Cheney said that she would campaign in battleground states this fall, and also endorsed Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) in his Senate race against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.

In her remarks, Cheney also said her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, would be voting for Harris. The audience erupted in cheers after she mentioned her father’s vote.

“Defeating Donald Trump is frankly important but there are numbers of candidates around the country who have embraced election denialism and I think it’s really important that we defeat them, too,” said Cheney, once the No. 3 leader of the House Republican Conference. “One of the most important things we need to do as a country as we begin to rebuild our politics is we need to elect serious people.”

Her remarks follow a Wednesday speech at Duke University where she announced her vote for Harris and warned of the “danger” she says Trump poses. (read more)

There is a remarkable amount of sunlight upon the control mechanisms in/around American politics. President Trump has been the impetus to reveal the historic “illusion of choice” that has puzzled many Republican voters for decades.

More than at any time in history, right now the great American awakening is showcasing just how the UniParty system in Washington DC operates. All of the professional political institutions of government are fighting desperately to retain their tenuous grip on power.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Personally, I think this is good news!

The Deep State is in panic mode…

Goldman Sachs Predicts Stronger Economy Under Harris


Posted Sep 6, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

GoldmanSachs

Goldman Sachs, or Government Sachs as they are known in the industry, has bet on the establishment candidate. The person who has already spent four years in the White House will somehow repair the damage they caused to the US economy, according to Goldman Sachs, who strongly believes America should stay on the same losing trajectory.

We estimate that if Trump wins in a sweep or with divided government, the hit to growth from tariffs and tighter immigration policy would outweigh the positive fiscal impulse” from maintaining most tax cuts, Goldman economists stated. Remember that Goldman Sachs places their employees within the US government as there is an ongoing revolving door. “We estimate that the contribution from immigration to labor force growth if Harris wins would be 10,000 per month higher than if Trump wins with divided government,” and 30,000 a month higher than if Trump secures the vote.

America has spent billions on the migrant crisis which has toppled state and city budgets. We have over 8 million newcomers now living solely off government assistance. Goldman is preaching the same propaganda that these migrants are needed for America’s workforce, despite recent data showing a major slow in hiring in addition to numerous adjusted jobs reports that show NO new jobs have been created outside the public sector under Biden-Harris. They believe GDP would peak by 0.5 percentage points in Q2 of 2025 under a Trump victory.

A Harris victory would lead to a “very slight” boost in GDP compared to Trump, as “new spending and expanded middle-income tax credits would slightly more than offset lower investment due to higher corporate tax rates.” The “experts” believe that “the effects of policy changes would be small and neutral on net,” but the truth of the matter is that a Harris victory would guarantee a major economic downturn. It is astonishing that they expect the public to believe that the middle class will increase their spending through tax credits. They simply do not understand that a lack of confidence is the reason that people hoard, and under this economy, the middle class does not have any disposable income to spend.

Then they state that Trump’s tariffs on China, Mexico, and EU would cause inflation to rise by 30 to 40 bps. I do not support tariffs but we are seeing the Biden Administration slam China with new tariffs and one could reasonably believe Kamala would do the same. Do they understand Kamala’s corporate tax hike proposition and how that would decimate America’s ability to compete?

Harris is proposing taxing capital gains including UNREALIZED gains. The American public has nothing left to offer Uncle Sam and rest assured Harris will raise taxes as her countless spending packages come at a price. Goldman Sachs completely failed to consider the impact government spending has had on the overall economy.

Most importantly, Government Sachs did not factor in the strongest driver of inflation – WAR. War produces nothing and will not lead to an economic increase. Kamala Harris along with Joe Biden helped America become completely embedded in Ukraine and now Israel. Trump is the only candidate who wants to stop sending endless checks to Ukraine and end the war.

Prisons Collaborate with the Private Sector – Free Labor


Posted originally on Sep 6, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Slavery is alive and well in the United States. Two-thirds of US prisoners, 800,000 men and women, have jobs in federal and state prisons. While 80% of prisoners work to maintain the prison in terms of maintenance, a growing portion of prisoners hold jobs for private companies. Estimates that that these prisoners are producing at least $11 billion annually for the US government and receiving little to nothing in return.

Non-industry workers can earn between 13 cents to 52 cents per hour. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas are not required to pay these workers. “There’s no way we can take care of our facilities, our roads, our ditches, if we didn’t have inmate labor,” Warren Yeager, a former Gulf county, Florida, commissioner said to the Florida Times-Union. In other words, states have become reliant on free labor from prisoners and actively put this into their budgets.

What some do not understand is that private companies are also employing prisoners. McDonald’s, Burger King, Golden Corral, Walmart, Wendy’s, IBM, Boeing, Motorola, Microsoft, AT&T, Texas Instruments, Dell, Compaq, Honeywell, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, TWA, Nordstrom’s, Revlon, Macy’s, and Target are among hundreds of private companies that have active agreements with state governments to farm out their prisoners. The private companies pay the prisons directly, bypassing the people who are forced to work long hours with no protections.

These workers have a far lower rate at being released on parole. The state believes they are safe enough to work among the public, but refuse to offer them an opportunity to leave. Only non-violent offenders are offered these jobs and most are swindled into accepting the positions to obtain favorable housing.

Alabama, for example, allows non-violent prisoners to work in the private sector for pennies. Yet, the state takes away 40% of their pay before taxes, charges them fees for transportation, laundry, and any extras they find. Alabama now earns more than $450 million annually on the backs of these workers.  It comes at no surprise that the parole rate in Alabama plummeted to 8% in 2023.

Prison Camp

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) found that over 75% of workers are unable to take off work, and if they do, they risk being sentenced to solitary confinement and prevented from visitations with their families. About 70% of these workers said they cannot even afford to call home or purchase soap. They are denied all rights and treated as sub-humans. “The United States has a long, problematic history of using incarcerated workers as a source of cheap labor and to subsidize the costs of our bloated prison system,” said Turner, a principal human rights researcher with the ACLU’s Human Rights Program.

“The private contracting of prisoners for work fosters incentives to lock people up. Prisons depend on this incomeCorporate stockholders who make money off prisoners’ work lobby for longer sentences, in order to expand their workforce. The system feeds itself,” notes a study study by the Progressive Labor Party, which accuses the US prison complex of being “an imitation of Nazi Germany with respect to forced slave labor and concentration camps.”

Private prisons, in general, operate as businesses as they are guaranteed a fee per inmate, which US taxpayers pay. The majority of people are African American and Hispanic, but we hear silence from communities demanding reparations and failing to acknowledge that modern-day slavery is alive and well in the US. The private sector is creating jobs for the prison industry on behalf of the US government and this is one of the reasons that we see a decline in available jobs. The business is extremely lucrative because they profit on holding the inmates as well as forcing them to work.

So, these human beings were deemed stable enough to work unsupervised with the public. Yet, those same decision-makers turn around at sentencing and tell these workers that they are simply too dangerous to return home. This is why the United States, home of the free, hosts the largest prison population in the world. It always comes down to greed and money.

Neocons for Harris


Posted originaly on Sep 6, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

LizCheneyTweetHarrisKamala

All the Neocons in Washington have come out to offer their support to Kamala Harris even that means breaking party lines. We must understand that the establishment is actively preventing Donald Trump from re-election primarily because he has promised to end the war against Russia.

Liz Cheney once called Kamala Harris a “radical liberal” who would “recreate America in the image of what’s happening on the streets of Portland and Seattle.” Cheney correctly stated that Harris would raise taxes on Americans and “explode the size and power of the federal government.” She criticized Kamala’s “dangerous policies that would devastate millions of Americans,” but now she is endorsing her for president.

Failed politician Cheney, who is only still relevant due to her late father, announced her endorsement at a speaking engagement at Duke University. “I don’t believe that we have the luxury of writing in candidates names, particularly in swing states. And as a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this,” she added. “And because of the danger that, that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I’ll be voting for Kamala Harris.”

As long as the West continues to allow the Neocons to control this war, then there will be no stopping World War III. These people have spent their entire lives hating Russians for particularly personal reasons. These Neocons have waged endless wars since Vietnam. They had lied to the American public to justify their wars as MacNamara sought to clear his conscience before he died and said, “WE WERE WRONG” about Vietnam, that the Russians were not involved, and it was just a civil war. The cost of this War on Terror Brown University has conducted a study and placed it at $8 trillion, again with no victory. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and nobody was ever held accountable.

Every American Neocon has come out to warn the public about the “dangers” of a Trump presidency without stating what that particular danger entails. They all previously disclosed precisely why they were concerned with Harris’s policies. Conservatives once favored small government and minimal intervention. More importantly, they once cared about the American economy. It was common to hear of someone being “fiscally Conservative” despite social issues, but social issues have overshadowed meaningful policies. The people who strongly favor war are acting against the best interests of the American people. Unfortunately, our computer indicates that America’s involvement in the war is inevitable. The swiftness and precise timing may change under a Trump presidency, but these Neocons have infiltrated every part of Washington and WILL NOT STOP until American soldiers are staring down the barrel of a gun at the hated Russians.

Neocons for Harris – Bring on World War III

2hr Study nuclear weapons

QUESTION: Have you seen this latest claim that the US could take out all the nuclear launch pads of China and Russia in just 2 hours? This seems to be another Neocon boast of supporting World War III like we can defeat Russia in three days. What is it with these people? They are playing with the entire planet’s lives and never think they might be wrong.

Jeff

NATO_Defeat Russia_in_3_Days Adam Kinzinger

ANSWER: First of all, studies like this only promote that Russia and China should be deeply concerned about what they see as American Imperialism thanks to these nut-jobs. They do not consider that warfare has changed since World War II. If China moves to take Taiwan, a military clash will erupt of unprecedented threat, and the US does not appear to win so easily. During World War II, we won the battles in Asia due to the use of the U.S. Navy’s carriers. Back then, they were invulnerable floating fortresses. Missiles back then were land-based, so as long as they stayed out of range, they were invincible.

Unprecedented_Launch_of_Republicans_for_Harris_causes_commotion_and_62_more

You can tell Harris will take us into World War III because the Neocons are backing her, claiming Republicans for Harris. They will switch sides routinely because all they want is war. The mere fact they are doing this proves my point.

Today, China has developed anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities. They can take out a carrier with no problem. Carriers are vulnerable, and the traditional roles they once played in winning wars are like fighting an army with guns while you have bow and arrows. They are no longer capable of protecting landing forces as in the old days. I have been told that in war game simulations, the US would lose two carriers at the beginning of hostilities. China can take them out without a problem using these A2/AD systems.

These Neocons boost their capabilities without realizing that China and Russia will not wait for 2 hrs to eliminate their nuclear weapons. With the first launch, they will know just as the systems in Israel can detect a launch as it leaves the pad.

Consumed by Hate

I do not know what to say. These people are consumed by their hatred, and they really need to be imprisoned as a threat to human society – not just our nation.
