Noah’s Arch Found?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ancient History Re-Posted Oct 29, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Some claim that the stories from the Bible are just stories. Academics have been famous for saying the same thing about Historia Augusta even attributing the fraud to a monk hundreds of years before since it contained names of Roman Emperors they claim never existed. Then, two gold coins were discovered in a hoard in Egypt with the name Saturninus, proving the academic who always seem to put down history but never go out of their offices to verify their claims.

They did the same thing to Henrich Schliemann, even accusing him of fraud, claiming to have discovered the ancient city of Troy. The photo he took of his wife wearing the jewels of Helen of Troy they claimed was costume jewelry.

In the past century, dozens of individuals claimed to have located the ark, but no scientific evidence has been found. The academics have, for the most part, rejected that story as well as being just a story for children, as they said about Homer.

The problem is that the story has also been recorded in that region of Turkey on ancient Roman Coins. This has long raised independent evidence for the “story” of Noah external from the Bible, which the academics seem to go out of their way to discredit as history. The depiction of Noah on Roman coins is struck in Phrygia, which was located in modern-day Turkey. So, the coins come from the very area where Noah’s Ark was supposed to have rested. This demonstrates that this story comes from the very place where Noah’s Ark came to rest.

The Babylonia Epic of Gilgamesh has been of interest to Christians since its discovery in the mid-nineteenth century in the ruins of the great library at Nineveh, with its account of a universal flood with significant parallels to the Flood of Noah’s day. Keep in mind that Abraham also came from this region. Thus, the Biblical account may have been influenced by this story from this region originally.

A team has been excavating a geological formation in Turkey, the place in the Book of Genesis where the mountains of Ararat were. Eastern Turkey is the region in which Noah’s Ark comes to rest after the Great Flood. They have tested the rock and soil and concluded that the site matches the same time frame that the Bible places the Great Flood 5,000 years ago.

These stories also go back to the Sumerian civilization which is one of the oldest civilizations known to mankind, and it is the most developed and advanced civilization, coexisting with a variety of sciences, music, and art. They even had the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, but it was more than just Adam and Eve.

Golden Passports


Armstrong Economics Blog/Geopolitical Re-Posted Oct 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The European Union (EU) has a new excuse to tighten travel restrictions. The European Commission published a report claiming five Caribbean states have sold “golden passports” citizenship to 88,000 individuals from around the globe, including China, Iran, and Russia.

“Investor citizenship schemes (or citizenship-by-investment programmes, also commonly referred to as “golden passports”) run by third countries with visa-free access to the EU may present a number of security risks for the EU. These schemes grant citizenship rights on the basis of local investments or against a flat fee, with low or no residence requirements, weak security checks and no genuine connection with the third country in question. The third countries concerned often advertise those schemes as ‘golden passports’ with the express purpose of allowing visa-free travel to the Union to third-country nationals that would otherwise be visa required,” the report states.

These are more than merely passports as they provide a path to visa-free travel to 60 nations. The Guardian reported that these passports have a starting price of $100,000. The EU report sets out for the first time the true scale of the Caribbean passport trade, with prices starting at $100,000 a head, leading me to believe that the people of these Caribbean nations are not the main buyers.

Not only is the price tag suspicious, but the sheer number does not make sense. The Dominican Republic alone sold 34,500 of these golden passports but has a population of only 72,000. In 2015, the EU permitted citizens of certain Caribbean islands to travel visa-free for up to 90 days. Visa-free travel to countries such as the EU and US is one of the key benefits advertised by Caribbean citizenship by investment schemes.

So, the European Union already announced that a mere passport will not grant people entry beginning in 2024. Those traveling to Europe must apply for authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) before their visit. Now, that restriction on free movement was implemented before the 88,000 golden passports came to light, so we can expect harsher restrictions. The European Commission now says it must overhaul regulations as it is concerned that these passports could be enabling the “infiltration of organized crime, money laundering, tax evasion, and corruption.” This is one of many reasons that I have warned travel will become increasingly difficult as we go down the long road to 2032.

Tyson Foods to Use BUGS to Create Our Food


Armstrong Economics Blog/Great Reset Re-Posted Oct 23, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The climate change psy-ops has simply gone too far. Schwab’s World Economic Forum has become like a cult declaring our last days are ahead unless we abide by asinine laws. Those promoting the Great Reset have said countless times that WE will begin to eat bugs to save the planet, and meat will no longer be available to us. Now Tyson Foods announced it acquired a minority stake in the bug protein startup company, Protix.

According to the company’s website:“Protix is the world leader in insect ingredients. We believe that feeding the growing world population should go hand in hand with protecting our beautiful planet. A huge challenge! Fortunately, the solution lies in nature itself: insects provide low-footprint proteins and other nutrients that can be processed into more sustainable feed and food.”

The website goes on to claim:“Why do we love insect ingredients? Because they’re the answer to many of the problems the world is facing today. Insect ingredients have a lower footprint than many of the ingredients commonly used in feed and food. Our insects need very little room to grow, making for far less land use than traditional ingredients. They also need less water and have lower CO₂ emissions. Plus… insects are nature’s greatest ‘upcyclers’ and thus a natural solution to the huge problem of food waste.”

Tyson said it will begin to normalize the consumption of bugs by placing it in pet food, aquaculture, and livestock production. The company will “upcycle food manufacturing byproducts into high-quality insect proteins and lipids.” So they even want to fill the animals we eat with insects and change their diets as well. Grand View Research stated that insect protein consumption will grow by 27.4% by 2028, a half cycle before 2032, when the people rise up and demand change. Governments want us sick and helpless.

Has the Rule of Law Collapsed in Germany?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Germany Re-Posted Oct 21, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

I want to explain an incident when I was doing a world tour for the Forecaster Movie. In Europe, there would be a question-and-answer period after the film concluded. I was in Frankfurt, and a woman stood up and said this is what was wrong with America. It always protected the bankers. She was stunned at how they could keep me in prison on civil contempt with trial and no defined charges at all. She said this was not the first example of the corrupt American legal system.

Then, a German lawyer stood up and corrected her. He said in Germany, what the US did to me, they do all the time to Germans.

Reiner Fuellmich, is an attorney and international freedom advocate. He has taken a major step to investigate the criminal activity of politicians in COVID. Because Germany did not charge him, they would have to put on a case and extradite him back to Germany. They illegally kidnapped him from Mexico, which is a complete violation of international law.

This is a warning to everyone. The rule of law has completely collapsed. Nothing matters anymore. These governments are simply desperate because they know they are losing power. Just as the US imposed sanctions on Russia, that divided the world economy and sent a warning to every other nation that if they do not do as the United States Neocons demand, they too will be removed from the global financial system. The ramifications now have many preparing alternatives to this insane tyranny.

There is nothing we can do. Just as Communism collapsed from its own weight, the West will suffer the same fate by 2032. This is NOT my wish nor my opinion. Our computer’s forecast has been spot on when it comes to its geopolitical forecasts for many years.

Travelers will need Authorization to Enter the EU in 2024


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Be prepared as the freedom of movement will begin to decline as we move toward 2032. Starting in 2024, those traveling to Europe will need to apply for authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) before their visit. The new regulations are called the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS). When the system launches in early 2024, it will require ALL visitors who currently travel to Europe visa-free, such as citizens from the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, to apply for travel authorization and receive approval prior to their departure.

The authorization is not exactly a visa and does not require visa-like obligations to travel, the European Commission claims. The goal of ETIAS is to increase security within the EU as they can no longer identify the enemy. America and others have compromised their borders and there are many with ill will amongst us. They claim the length of time that Americans will be able to spend in Europe as a tourist is not changing, but how will anyone be able to travel outside their respective country during an ongoing global conflict? So US passport holders are allowed to stay up to 90 days within a 180-day period, but for any stay longer than 90 days, a special visa is required.

If you travel outside of your respective country, depending on where you live, you’re on your own. Biden has abandoned American naturals in Israel and Palestine, forcing those in Israel to take out a loan merely to travel to a neighboring country. Restrictions are rarely removed once implemented as the US saw after the Patriot Act was introduced post-9/11. Our ability to travel and move freely throughout nations is coming to a halt.

Kissinger: Allowing Migrants in Europe was a Grave Mistake


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Where will the displaced people go when their homes are destroyed during this senseless war? No Arab nation has offered to take in Palestinian refugees. They fear the US and West knocking on their door too as the enemy hides behind the civilians. Henry Kissinger recently came out and said that Europe made a “grave mistake.”

“It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts, because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that,” Kissinger stated. This comes on the heels of pro-Hamas, not pro-Palestine, protests emerging across Germany. In fact, violent protests are emerging across all of Europe. “The Middle East conflict has the danger of escalating and bringing in other Arab countries under the pressure of their public opinion,” Kissinger noted.

Egypt, Palestine’s neighbor, has made it clear that they will not permit their Arab brothers and sisters to enter. Egypt has deployed troops to its border with Palestine to ensure no one enters.  King Abdullah II of Jordan also said that refugees are not welcome. “There will be no refugees in Jordan and no refugees in Egypt,” the king stated. “That is a red line, because I think that is the plan by certain of the usual suspects to try and create de facto issues on the ground,” Abdullah added. He believes Israel is trying to send residents of Gaza toward the Rafah border.

“The whole region is on the brink of falling into the abyss,” Abdullah said. “All our efforts are needed to make sure we don’t get there. We have a common goal to prevent a conflagration in the region,” the chancellor said. “I once again expressly warn Hezbollah and Iran not to intervene in this conflict.”

Now Biden is heading to the Middle East to show others how weak our nation has become politically. Blinken wants to establish safe zones for the Palestinians across the Middle East, but the leaders there are saying NO do not involve us in your war. No Arab nation will open its border to Palestinians, but the West, with a completely different standard of reality, must do its part to accept people who do not fit in their society. And then those same people later chant that they want to see the very nations that accepted them destroyed.

European Commission Announces Triple Funding for Palestinian/Hamas Effort


Posted originally on the CTH on October 17, 2023 | Sundance 


EU President Ursula von der Leyen has pledged to provide the Palestinian/Hamas effort with $50 million in supplemental assistance to support the resistance effort against Israeli retaliation.

EU Announcement – “President Ursula von der Leyen spoke to the Secretary General of the UN António Guterres this afternoon, in the context of her on-going contacts with regional leaders.

Following this call, she said: “The Commission will immediately increase the current humanitarian aid envelope foreseen for Gaza by 50 million euros. This will bring the total to over 75 million euros. We will continue our close cooperation with the UN and its agencies to ensure that this aid reaches those in need in the Gaza strip. The Commission supports Israel’s right to defend itself against the Hamas terrorists, in full respect of international humanitarian law. We are working hard to ensure that innocent civilians in Gaza are provided support in this context.”

Commissioner Lenarčič said: “The Commission is doing everything in its power to provide humanitarian support to civilians in the Gaza strip. This tripling of EU humanitarian assistance will help ensure that civilians in Gaza can be provided with the basic necessities required. It is essential that safe and unrestricted access for humanitarian aid is ensured.”  (Read more)

Ardern Aftermath – New Zealand Elects Conservative Prime Minister Christopher Luxon


Posted originally on the CTH on October 14, 2023 | Sundance

You might remember in the aftermath of the ridiculous COVID restriction, when New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced her resignation, the media downplayed the most likely reason, she -and her leftist Labor Party- was going to get crushed in the next election.   Well, exactly that just happened.

Ardern and the Labor Party previously won more than 50% of the New Zealand vote, today that result was 27%.  Jacinda Ardern, a favorite of the World Economic Forum and leftists in the globalist movement, led her party to lose half of their Kiwi support.  The Conservative Party in New Zealand, led by Christoper Luxon, have won the election.

(Via UPI) New Zealand’s conservative National Party soundly defeated the ruling Labor Party in elections held Saturday, paving the way for Christopher Luxon to replace Chris Hipkins as prime minister.

Hipkins conceded defeat after results came in showing the National Party scoring historic gains even across some of the most reliable of Labor districts in the country.

With 99% of the vote counted, the National Party had garnered 39% of the vote, while Labor managed only 27% after getting 50% in the previous election. The Green Party, meanwhile, nabbed 11% and the small-government, libertarian ACT Party collected 9%.

The National Party will forge a governing coalition with the ACT Party, which between them total 61 seats, the barest possible margin to govern in New Zealand. (read more)

Ardern unexpectedly stepped down as prime minister in January, saying she no longer had “enough in the tank” to do the job justice.

Canada’s Governor General Spends Six-Figures on Dry Cleaning


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 9, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Office of the Secretary to the Governor General has managed to spend C$117,566 on dry cleaning services over the past five years. Rideau Hall spends around $1,800 monthly on dry cleaning and expenses it all so Canadian taxpayers foot the bill. There is an in-house staff on the payroll that takes care of chores such as laundry. How selfish as Ukraine could have used that money to put Zelensky back on the cover of Vogue.

“When I spill half the Pizza Hut lunch buffet on my white work shirt, I don’t stick the company I work for with the dry-cleaning bill and neither should the governor general,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “This is another perk the governor general enjoys that struggling Canadians can’t afford.” Obviously, this money is going into his pockets. These politicians are known for living a luxurious lifestyle as public servants.

Canada’s elite certainly don’t look like fashionistas, yet this is common. Governors General Julie Payette and Mary Simon spent over C$88,000 on clothing using tax dollars. They earn around C$351,600 annually but somehow the people are responsible for their personal items. Payette used federal funds to purchase a C$3,000 black velvet dress lined with silk. She purchased several suits for over C$2,000 a piece, a special order vest for C$1,800, and new boots for over C$1,000. The Office of the Secretary to the Governor General (OSGG) is provided with a large budget of C$130,000 to spend on clothing every five years.

Why on Earth should Canadians be paying to dress politicians? Don’t get me started on the C$55,000 Trudeau expensed for groceries in 2022 when Canadians were facing record-high food prices. They already have a hefty salary and perks galore. These politicians feel entitled to spend your money on their personal shopping sprees. The average person will never have such an extensive closet, but the average person is paying for their elected officials to live lavishly. Rules for thee but not for me.
