FBI Warns of Armed Protest at Biden’s Inauguration


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Jan 12, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Now we have the FBI warning that there may be an armed assault against Biden during the inauguration. This is getting really crazy. I really hope that is NOT the case but I would not put it past someone deliberately doing so to blame Trump supporters to drive 50% of the country underground. On the other hand, there are crazy people who might try something stupid like that which will do nothing for the nation but divide the nation even more.  Any such act will be supporting the Domestic Terrorist Act passage virtually unanimously as was the Patriot Act. My concern is that our computer is projecting rising civil unrest and absolute chaos during the midterm election in 2022.

The Democrats are already looking to impose sanctions on anyone who supported Trump on Capitol Hill. This is in direct conflict with Biden’s theme:

Joe Biden announces ‘America United’ as inauguration theme

The only way to calm the waters is to demonstrate that he will NOT follow the directive of the World Economic Forum and stay middle of the road. Any drastic measures will NOT unite the nation and certainly not mandatory vaccines. Ending capital gains tax and imposing a wealth tax will be burdensome to every one. Even the poor would have to file a wealth tax form to prove they are poor. The further conspiracy theories that Trump has signed the Insurrection Act does not help matters. There is no evidence of such a move and Pelosi has been contacting the military brass to ensure that does not take place. It was last invoked in 1992 by George H.W. Bush during the unrest in Los Angeles after the acquittal of police officers who beat Rodney King. Claims he will arrest the VP and the leaders in Congress do not seem to have any validity. It is not likely that the military would follow such an order anyhow.

Meanwhile, there is a wholesale departure from BigTech. Twitter has lost so far 12% of its traffic since banning Trump. Even Angla Merkel, the head of Germany, has called Twitter’s actions “problematic” to put it mildly. Nevertheless, Twitter seems to think even the US Constitution offends their guidelines. Their actions have been far worse than the accusations of Rissian interference in 2016. BigTech could care less since the Democrats have promised them access to banking online (see IMF). The basic tenets of a Free Society is that I must defend your right to say what I may disagree with. That is the freedom of speech which is no longer respected. As one reader commented:

Regarding the BIG-TECH suppression of conservative political speech and its squashing of a rising competitor, Parler, we’ve seen all this before. BIG-TECH is now a Soviet political commissar with the business monopoly power of Standard-Oil.
The suppression of conservative political speech, as practiced by Twitter and Facebook, benefits the progressive views of their leaders to the determent of competing ideologies. Exhibit ‘A’ is the censorship of a legitimate newspaper story by the oldest running American paper in existence founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton, The NY Post, prior to a presidential election to mitigate the damage Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal imparted to their preferred candidate, Joe Biden.
Google and Apple, cutting off Parler’s access at the front-end in their app stores, is equivalent to a Standard-Oil type conglomerate denying access to oil well drillers. Amazon, on the back-end, revoked Parler’s access to its servers; this is analogous to Standard-Oil cutting off a growing competitor’s access to refiners.
I am shocked this is happening in the United States of America and am saddened that as is oft the case, history repeats itself. It appears we will have to experience the lessons of tyranny through experience due to a profound failure in the education of history to our youth. Let’s make Orwell fiction again.

Obviously, we will have to look at the computer forecasts for 2021 which will be really interesting in the midst of all this drama. I do not look forward to them using this virus and a claimed new strain to lockdown the country nationally to defeat a virus that is really intended to reduce CO2. This is right out of the psychological warfare manual. As I have reported before, there was more 4x the number of people who died during the 1969 Hong Kong Flu and they did not act like this locking down the world. They even had Woodstock in the middle of that pandemic.

The economic damage is off the charts with corporate chains saying they are leaving NYC or closing operations. We still see the economy declining into 2022. Another round of lockdowns will ensure there is nothing “normal” to return to just a John Kerry who will be in charge of the climate said.

The Control Mechanisms Expand, Big Tech (Facebook) Targets Ron Paul


Posted originally on The Conservative tree house on January 11, 2021 by Sundance

It is not just Donald Trump and his 100+ million supporters of freedom and liberty being targeted, Big Tech is now moving against any voice that would be problematic for the goals and objectives of JoeBama.  Today Facebook targets Ron Paul.

(LINK)

The totalitarian enterprises are global in scale.  As many have noted, this will not stop with just targeting President Trump and his supporters.  Big Tech is now advancing against all voices they deem adverse to their ideological agenda.   This is only the beginning.

We can well expect to see this approach metastasize quickly and spread to other nations (Brazil, Poland, Hungary) where nationalist and populist movements are visible.

Extreme control is a reaction to fear.  The globalists, writ large, are fearful of the population.  We are at the inflection point.

Orwell Was Right – Facebook Will Remove Content With ‘Stop The Steal’ Phrase


Posted originally on The conservative Tree house on January 11, 2021 by Sundance

“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words” … “The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect.”

― George Orwell

In the latest effort to ensure the totalitarian interests of the authoritarian state are never questioned, Facebook has announced no phrases will be allowed that call into question the legitimacy of the installed JoeBama leadership.  This is absolutely Orwellian:

(Reuters) – Facebook Inc said on Monday it was treating the next two weeks as a “major civic event” and would remove certain content containing the phrase “stop the steal” from its social media platforms.

“With continued attempts to organize events against the outcome of the US presidential election that can lead to violence, and use of the term by those involved in Wednesday’s violence in DC, we’re taking this additional step in the lead up to the inauguration”, the company said in a blog post.  (read more)

The need to have extreme control is a reaction to fear.

Model Predicts Things Humanly Impossible


Armstrong Economics Blog/Socrates Re-Posted Jan 11, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: OK. I have followed you and Socrates for a long time now. How could it see that the 8th was going to be more important than the 6th and that the vote was going to be postponed?

I am blown away.

SH

ANSWER: I am here only to try to interpret its output without my personal opinion. I have stated many times, I am the one who is wrong not the computer. I really do not know. It is monitoring everything on a global basis. The most subtle moves are recorded and input into its final conclusion.

I use to race cars. When you are driving around the track, you have to watch every car around you. The subtle move indicates what they are thinking. If you have not been in such an atmosphere, it is hard to see. Even when I drive today I still observe every car around me and the slightest move is still an indication of what they are thinking.

June 27, 1998

All I can say is this is what Socrates has developed. By monitoring everything, it is picking up the most subtle moves. It had picked up $100 billion going into Russia in the summer of 1998 and $150 billion fleeing. We put out a warning that Russia would collapse and that began in September 1998. It had also lined up with the Economic Confidence Model.

Socrates was picking it up in global markets. They ended up calling me Mr. Yen because I sold $1 billion at 147 which was the Yearly Bullish Reversal which the market ran up, tested, and then collapsed to 103.

DeutscheBank-1

I was named Fund Manager of the year in 1998 because of that trade. We made 60% in a single month. I was named Economist of the Decade for the 1980s because of the ECM and Socrates, and most recently FX Analyst of the year over the collapse of the Swiss/Euro Peg.

These things are NOT because I am smarter than everyone else. It is because Socrates is monitoring the entire world. So when it was showing that the 8th would be more important than the 6th, I personally thought it would be over the objections. I did not expect the siege of the Capitol Building, but with hindsight, it appears that was in the works and it was the final nail in the coffin to end Democracy as we have known it. Any election from here on out will simply be rigged. Biden will last perhaps into 2022, and Harris will then take over and she will still be able to run twice into 2032.

The Model still shows World War is coming 2025-2027 time period. All this chaos and demand to force China and Russia to comply with this Green Agenda is only pushing both of them together against the West.

Our Super Rich Friends & Big Tech


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 11, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

BigTech has shown its true colors. They have been censoring conservatives to push the left-wing revolution because they have been promises, as the “SUPER RICH FRIENDS” that they will inherit the banking systems. They will no longer bail out the banks. Last March, the Fed began to lend on commercial paper for the first time since its origin in 1913. and the Federal Reserve is moving rapidly to accept direct deposits from institutions thereby circumventing the banks altogether (see IMF).

There is now a mass exodus from Twitter and other social media. Google and Apple have been banning alternative apps trying to prevent people from having an alternative to their BigTek regime. What they fail to understand is they are now confirming the conspiracy theories about them and this is just not good for the country. Perhaps 50% of America will be eventually moving away from them all.

Who knows? Our computer has forecast that the mid-elections are going to be CHAOTIC and that is just not normal to have Panic Cycles in our political model for 2022. Here we have Panic Cycles both in 2022 and 2024. It does not matter who you voted for. Politicians never do what they promise. If you think everything will just return to normal, I suppose that is what you call the triumph of hope over experience.

Pelosi in State of Panic


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 11, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Pelosi is in a state of Panic trying to Impeach Trump and demanding Pence invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump. The Senate does not return until the 19th so there is no time for a trial but her charge is absolutely absurd, to begin with. What seems to be the talk running around is that there is a lot of incriminating evidence on her laptop that was taken. She seems to be grandstanding to try to position herself that any allegations that might surface are really retaliation for her impeachment.

What at least seems very clear is that Trump supporters were NOT the only people in the building. They seem to have been the cover for other operations. In fact, there was a deliberate free reign to allow these ops to get about 15 laptops using the Trump supporters to hide their actions. Lawmakers were calling the police and they simply waited before responding.

Pelosi’s frantic rush to impeach a president who has 10 days left is absurd. When people were pleading for help and the Black Lives Matter/Antifa groups were burning down buildings and looting, Pelosi had no problem allowing that to happen. This frantic rush is to be able to claim that any evidence that comes out is fake and in retaliation for her impeachment. Perhaps she should look at her polls. The trust in Congress has crashed since she took the speaker’s post. Even a used car salesman is trusted more than her.

What the Hell is Going On in this World?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Jan 11, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

In Scotland, police apparently were called by neighbors saying there were too many people in a house. The police entered the family’s home of “suspicion” of too many people when their seriously ill daughter had just been released from the hospital. The police beat the homeowners are showed just what is taking place worldwide using COVID as the excuse to wipe out all our civil rights. I seriously doubt that we will ever be able to vote these people out of office. They now know to rig the game to retain tyrannical power.

The Quebec government sent out a message warning people that have police surveillance monitoring everyone. Is this really reflecting a free society? Is this what people voted for?

Meanwhile, in Brisbane, with just one case of COVID reported, Annastacia Palaszczuk an Australian left-wing politician who has been the Premier of Queensland since 2015 and the Leader of the Labor Party in Queensland since 2012, has locked down the entire city – the third largest in Australia.

Meaning In The Midst Of Mayhem


And to those corrupt and treasonous actors who have betrayed and vilified the good and the righteous: eternity is a long time–wherever you spend it

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By Dave Merrick —— Bio and ArchivesJanuary 10, 2021

2000 years ago Jesus, the ONLY Savior of mankind, the undisputed most controversial Jewish guy ever (and a son of David, today still God in human flesh), had just left Pontius Pilate’s porch dragging a big rugged cross upon which he was about to be crucified. Because our loving God/Creator did not simply make a ‘Jesus bot’ to come, suffer and die for the sins of the people he loved so much, the Holy Spirit had, thirty-three years earlier, impregnated Mary, a descendant of King David, with our Lord and Savior. And so God’s Son, (a.k.a. “The Word” of the Holy Trinity), who had just been beaten senseless, was about to walk to his death on the hill they called ‘Golgotha’ (meaning: ‘place of the skull’). He would there be tacked to that big (probably sycamore) cross and ‘bleed out’ just like a meat sacrifice that the Temple priests would drain of its blood before it was consumed in flame. The smoke of that burning meat caused that big Temple in Jerusalem to smell like the best steakhouse you have ever experienced. And to the heart of God, and in the hearts of His sincere priests and followers, the smell of that great Temple of Solomon was just as exciting and attractive as the steakhouse.

Today we have seen that same sort of egregious hypocrisy replayed before our very eyes

Of course, you’ve heard about Jesus. He is the only Creator and Savior of the world. He is both, still and simultaneously, the “root and offspring of David.”  Nevertheless, today there is a devil-driven group of selfish, insane maniacs (demons all, dirty politicians, lovers of money, idolaters of all sorts, and the weak-hearted and ignorant allies and followers of those groups) at large. They again want to kill (get rid of) Jesus so that a final battle between satan and God might result in the title-deed of all creation being handed to ‘beelzebub’ (formerly known as ‘lucifer,’ the rebel who had once been the mightiest and most beautiful of all God’s angels). [You can always distinguish who is leading real protests. God’s protesters don’t loot.]

That day, two millennia ago, at the beginning of that path to Golgotha, there were women in the crowd who felt great sorrow for Jesus. He had done nothing to deserve that horrific punishment. They felt shame for the priests who had just hours earlier run through the crowd at ‘the pavement’ in front of Pilate’s porch threatening that mob to demand Jesus’ crucifixion. (If that sounds like what today’s democrats or media have done you may have a clue there). And those women felt immense shame for their spineless husbands and acquaintances who had cried out for His death just as they had been commanded by those priests. (And if that sounds like some of President Trump’s cabinet members and some formerly trusted Republicans you may have another clue.)

After the soldiers beat Him Jesus could barely walk, let alone carry that massively heavy wooden cross. So some Roman soldiers tagged a big strong Cyrenian black man who very mercifully heaved Jesus’ death instrument to the summit of Golgotha—the ugly rock knob out at the edge of town where the Roman justice system killed their felons. Before taking another step, Jesus turned back for a moment and spoke to the weeping women. He said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bear, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?” (Luke Chapter 23, KJV).

Satan has fought hard to eject God from our government, our schools and businesses

I believe that Jesus was there comparing the rotten events of those days with similar rotten events that would be happening at the end of the world—at the time of His return. Though there was no mass communication back then, all the people knew that the authorities and officials had totally cheated in condemning Jesus. Today we have seen that same sort of egregious hypocrisy replayed before our very eyes. And though he is only a man, Donald J. Trump has, under the same sort of hypocrisy out of the same sort of people, been condemned and essentially crucified in front of the watching eyes of an entire nation and world that know the truth behind that lying travesty. I will shift thoughts for a moment…

Pseudoscience has for years bashed people over the head with the Cinemascopic and richly orchestrated fable that our lives and the universe around us are all the result of billions upon billions of years of lucky explosions and chemical accidents (all originating out of nothingness, of course). But Jesus knew—and good science confirms—that our Earth and its inhabitants are maybe ten thousand years old at the most. You can laugh at that. I don’t doubt that many of you are snickering. But it is true, nonetheless. It is tough talking about God to people who don’t sing in the choir. The very real devil has been working, ever since our beginning, to convince people that even the idea of an ‘all-powerful God who made and knows everything’ is a ghost story made up to keep people in line. And, admittedly, a lot of the cults (false religions) have used junk theology for precisely that purpose. But we no longer have time to argue any of that. Now let’s talk about the Lord as well as current events.

A short-lived America is now ready to be surgically eviscerated and re-created in the dictates of professional politicians

Jesus and the prophets of the Bible left us what I like to call ‘proof texts.’ We were given time-sensitive prophecies of things that would happen through the centuries, thousands of years apart, to confirm the omniscience and perfect omnipotence of the very God who made us [and freely admits that He hides from us] (Isaiah 45:15, etc.). To name one of many of those prophecies, the reestablishment of the nation of Israel, after its disappearance thousands of years ago, happened officially in 1948. Just as He said He would, God brought people, Jews, from all over the earth to rebuild their homeland/nation that had all but died out centuries earlier! And, just as He said (Ezekiel, Matthew, etc.) many of those returning Jews would not even believe in Him! But satan has fought hard to eject God from our government, our schools and businesses, and very nearly even our churches. Many churches today spout the Bible and sing hymns but don’t really demonstrate any belief or three-dimensional faith in the true God. The adversary of our souls has always known that the moment we acknowledge the existence of God we must also acknowledge responsibility for our behavior before Him. But if we believe we are only highly sophisticated primates, eventually we will easily begin to act like that. And that gruesome, primitive behavior is unquestionably manifesting itself everywhere on today’s insane earth as we speak.

Jesus compared the madness of His completely undeserved crucifixion with the madness that would be happening when this ‘tree’ we occupy and comprise is old and dry—like a pile of seasoned firewood. Indeed, RIGHT THIS MOMENT, the MADNESS of an out-of-control mankind is bursting into fires all around us, worldwide. And right now, as America is falling, a gleeful devil is happy that the last barricade between his godless chaos and a moral, FREE, conscience-driven Constitutional Republic has craftily been turned over on its beam ends. A short-lived America is now ready to be surgically eviscerated and re-created in the dictates of his professional politicians who are no more than his obedient puppets. In short order, our freedom of speech will entirely disappear. True, biblical Christianity will be effectively declared ‘hate speech.’ And we will eventually be primed for a ‘one world’ unified religion which will consolidate all the false religions into one universal ‘church’. We are about to see the unfolding of an unprecedented saturation of terror emanating from a government unchecked by anything other than special interest forced oversight. The last leader we had who was working to try to keep things fair was brought down by a lying news media working in conjunction with a group of traitors posing as trusted friends and colleagues. Truly, now the tree is dead, dried and instantly bursting into flame in places we never imagined. Next stop—the mark of satan’s beast.

Bible shows us that there are moments in our history where wickedness certainly seems to prevail

But what has most shocked me is the unbelievable impotence of today’s believing, professing Christians. They have no knowledge of Scripture. They see the Bible as largely a big mysterious book comprised of two chapters—Old’ and ‘New.’ They see Jesus as an add-on to the 10 Commandments. And the “holiest” people are those professing Christians with the most money or possessions. But nothing could be further from the truth! When the plague-thing cranked up, I was truly expecting Christians to be out in force telling the world about our soon returning Jesus. Instead, nearly all the Christians I knew were simply bickering about what medicines could best address the problem, and what masks were most effective and where to find them. There was no mention of Jesus’ talking about ‘plague and pestilence’ on the rise in the days before his return (Luke chapter 11).

The most important part of this rant converges back to these final points. If you have missed everything else, don’t miss this!

Jesus came and lived the perfect life for us! When He died for our sins, the curtain in the temple ripped in half! Why? Because God was thereby inviting all who wanted to come—right into His presence! He beckoned us to PLEASE COME RIGHT IN! Any church that tells you that you need a priest or any other pastor, group, go-between or special study material to bring you closer to Jesus/God is not telling you the truth. Jesus satisfied ALL the demands of the impossible legalism of the Old Testament. No imperfect man could ever keep all the holiness prescribed in the old covenant. No, the Old Testament was indeed a schoolmaster to show us that we all needed JESUS’ BLOOD ALONE (Galatians chapter 3, 1Corinthians 15:1-8) to thoroughly cleanse our hearts before God!

What Was the Capitol Siege?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Jan 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: These people posing for this photo certainly do not represent conservatives. One even has a mask. The Davy Crocket guy has the bull horn to lead the charge. Something is not right.

PC

REPLY: This breach into the Capitol Building was a false flag. There was no doubt about Trump supporters there. The guy in the Davy Crocket outfit was a QAnon supporter Jacob Anthony Chansley, who is said to be extreme right-wing. Adam Johnson was arrested for carrying-off Pelosi’s podium, but he did not take it from the building. These people being caught seem to have viewed this as a college prank posting their pictures on social media.

Nevertheless, there are reports that Antifa was there posing as Trump supporters who were the first to breach but had vacated quickly while hiding their faces. Still,  John Earle Sullivan is a Black Lives Matter terrorist who has advocated for an armed revolution on social media was one inside the Capitol Building and he claims he took part in the illegal breach of the building as part of an effort to understand supporters of President Donald Trump.

Others are saying that since Black Lives Matter was there, then Pelosi and Schumer should also be impeached since they incited riots all over the United States. There is a great disparity between how the Black Lives Matter rioters were treated when looting and burning down buildings verse the Trump supporters. This whole thing is merely inspiring divisions even more. What Trump did was by no means an impeachable offense. His statements do not qualify for calling for an insurrection. Besides that, they are protected speech just like those in Congress. How many Democrats made excuses for the burning of cities and all the protests? Even a legal professor who is not a supporter of Trump concurs – this is not an impeachable offense.

People from Germany are immediately calling it a false flag which they should know. False Flags are deliberate actions used to blame an opponent to gain power. Historically, Hitler used a very famous event that was the origin of the term “False flag” back in 1933 to reinforce his power. The German False flag used by Hitler was known as the Reichstag Fire. Hitler had a problem. He won less than 35% of the vote. The Reichstag Fire was an arson attack on the German parliament in Berlin on February 27th, 1933, one month after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany. Hitler’s government claimed it was set by Communists because the 1918 German Revolution which installed the Weimar Republic and resulted in the hyperinflation was a Communist movement which even asked the Russian to take Germany.

One man was prosecuted named Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch council Communist, who was simply found near the building. A German court later decided that van der Lubbe had acted alone as was the case with Oswald in the Kennedy Assassination. After the Reichstag Fire, a Decree was passed that the Nazi Party used as evidence that Communists were plotting against the German government. This event was critical in the establishment of Nazi Germany. The very term Reichstag Fire in Germany has been ever since used to refer to False flag actions perpetrated by the government to promote their own interests to gain more power and infuriate the public for retribution that has ALWAYS resulted in the loss of civil rights necessary to catch the conspirators.

President Trump campaigned in 2016 on ending “ridiculous endless wars.” When I was invited to listen to Trump privately at his Palm Beach, Florida, property Mar-a-Lago, he said the same thing. We were in the middle east fighting over borders that have been disputed for 1,000 years. ONLY John F. Kennedy was against the war. I believe the CIA et al took him out so they could enter Vietnam. Even Johnson remarked in 1965: “For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there.” They fired 249 5-inch shells, 123 3-inch shells, and four or five depth charges, according to Navy records. They never hit anything. Over 50,000 Americans die for a war we could not win and was never necessary.

They have lied to start every war from weapons of mass destruction to the fact that Germans sank the Lusitania because the US was secretly using passenger ships to move weapons to Britain. I have stated on personal knowledge that the terrorists from the first World Trade Center attack drew pictures of planes crashing into the towers on the wall of their cells in New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center in advance of 9/11. They knew what they were doing and let it happen.

Then there is Operation Northwoodswhich was a proposal of the Department of Defense. The Joint Chiefs of Staff would involve CIA operatives to commit acts of terrorism against American civilians. They would then blame the Cuban government to justify a war against Cuba. The proposals were rejected by the Kennedy administration and have long been part of the reason people support the theory that the CIA is responsible for the killing of Kennedy.

The State Department blew everyone away after admitting that they officially and intentionally deleted several minutes of video footage from a 2013 press briefing to mislead the press over the Iranian nuclear deal.  Those in power are all about just them. They are constantly showing that they cannot be trusted on anything. Yet, we are risking the lives of our children with wars that are manufactured for political gain all so they can in their mind rule the world.

obama-nobel-Peace Prize

Obama, who has made a mockery out of the Nobel Peace Prize, attempted the standard lie to invade Syria, but the American people rejected it because they became tired of the lies. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack even in fake allegations. The failure of Obama to “sell” the Syrian war to the American people noted the shift in confidence from Public (trust everything) to Private (trust nothing).

Wherever there is military action involved, there are lies to further another agenda. The benefit of a Private Wave is that people begin to distrust the government. However, the war cycle turns up and that warns of a rise in civil unrest that can even go as far as a new age of revolution if the government does not stop trying to manipulate the people for nonsense.

The latest information coming from Italy interfering in the 2020 election also involved a military defense contractor. Like Kennedy, Trump was against endless wars so they had to put an end to Trump. I lost just about every friend from high school to Vietnam. What did they die for? Communism collapses all on its own because it is unsustainable.

History is written by the victory. They will rewrite the history of America and paint Trump as some sort of anarchist just as Cicero wrote the fake news calling Gaius Julius Caesar was a horrible dictator when he crossed the Rubicon and the Senate fled because they had no support of the people who then cheered Senate’s flight from Rome because they were corrupt oligarchs.

History repeats because human nature never changes no matter how much we progress technologically. So many people think history is irrelevant and you will often hear that this time it’s different. I have found no exceptions whatsoever and I have really searched very hard by studying the rise and fall of empires, nations, and city-states.

Flavius Claudius Julianus, known to history as Julian II, was born in Constantinople around 332 AD, the son of Julius Constantius who was the half-brother of Constantine the Great. His father was born to his grandfather’s second wife, Theodora. When Constantine the Great died in 337 AD, his son, Constantine II launched a midnight Palace Massacre whereby all persons who might be his rival for the throne and were not the direct descendant of Constantine I’s first wife were slaughtered. Fortunately for Julian, he managed to escape the Palace Massacre only due to his extremely young age. Julian was restored to the imperial favor as he grew and was given the rank of Caesar (Vice President) on November 6th, 355 AD, about the same time he married Constantius’ youngest sister, Helena.

Yet the Palace Massacre left a deep mark upon his character whereby he saw Christianity as just another cult and the preachings of thou shalt not kill  meant really nothing when power was at stake or swearing oaths in the Supreme Court today or to sit in Congress. As a result, Julian II was dubbed by theologians as Julian the Apostate rather than acknowledge Christianity did not restrain the murder of his family.

Julian’s coinage changed when he became Emperor. He grew a beard which was taken as a sign of being a pagan whereas Christians were clean-shaven. His coins would often display pagan motifs as well. Julian began his reign by throwing off his Christian cloak and declaring that all religions would be tolerated. He gave especially large donations to the pagan causes. He dismissed his Christian teachers and ended state subsidies for the church. He then took an active role in organizing pagan worship throughout all the provinces.

Julian’s own philosophical beliefs led him to idealize the reigns of Hadrian (117-138 AD) and Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD). He described the ideal ruler as being essentially primus inter pares (“first among equals”), and thus not above the same laws that applied to everyone else. Julian frequently attended the Senate, participating in debates and making speeches. He was opposed to the traditional royal court operations that were used by his predecessors as inefficient, corrupt, and highly expensive.

Julian cut the bureaucratic waste by dismissing thousands of servants, eunuchs, and duplicated officials drastically reducing the cost of government for the taxpayers. He went as far as to prosecute corruption in government establishing the Chalcedon tribunal under the supervision of a magister militum Arbitio. He prosecuted former officials under Constantius including the chamberlain Eusebius who ran the royal court finding them guilty and sentenced to death. Yet Julian did not attend these proceedings that some argued meant he did not approve of these actions yet he took no steps to prevent them.

Julian also adopted the philosophy of Thomas Jefferson whereby he tried to reduce the federal bureaucracy expanding state and local authority at the expense of the imperial bureaucracy as Julian sought to reduce direct imperial involvement in urban affairs. For example, he went as far as to return city land owned by the imperial government, and city council members were then compelled to resume civic authority.

Julian was fatally wounded by a spear thrown by perhaps a Persian but perhaps by one of his own men during a minor skirmish. He made the mistake of surrounding himself with too few men because he did not trust the bureaucrats.

Delta Airlines Throw People Off the Plane Because they Voted for Trump


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Looks like they are getting everyone to simply discriminate against anybody who voted for Trump. Perhaps Delta should change its logo to Marxist Airlines. If they think they will avoid being shut down by kicking off anyone who voted for Trump, perhaps they should know that behind the curtain they are looking to put massive taxes on tickets to comply with Bill Gates’s latest post that we need to fly less.

Meanwhile, throwing average Americans off the plane because they just voted for Trump while Bill Gates is trying to dim the sun and will pay bribes to pull it off, I think he is a far greater danger to the entire planet. I suppose if you have a lot of money and are completely crazy, they still cheer and kiss your feet hoping to pick up a few spare millions.

Perhaps they should focus on their own business and stop trying to kiss-up to the new leftist government for they have no intention of helping the airlines. They have their marching order from the new lord and master – Bill Gates through Klaus Schwab and their Davos puppet – John Kerry!
