Erdogan moving Turkey Closer to Dictatorship


Armstrong Economics Blog/European Union

Re-Posted Aug 2, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

Germany is now pushing the EU towards a much more tougher policy in its relations with Turkey as Erdogan moves the country ever closer to a full-blown dictatorship. Erdogan has rejected democracy and the rule of law and since the strike of the Putsch, which is characterized by the dismissal of thousands of government officials, mass arrests without legal procedures, and the prosecution of independent media and critics, it is clear that he is not tolerating opposition. This implies a departure from the European model of democratic values ​​and principles of the rule of law and the actions of Turkey are at odds with the fundamental principles of membership in the EU and NATO.

NSA Links to Big Corporations


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption

Re-Posted Jul 30, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

The NSA is also in bed with major corporations and the idea of defending the economy has turned into defending corporations. In the “Quadrennial Intelligence Community Review Final Report” published by the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in April 2009, the report recommended that the US intelligence services should put “a multi-pronged, systematic effort to gather open source and proprietary information through overt means, clandestine penetration (through physical and cyber means), and counterintelligence”. This was one of the hidden pieces from the Snowden files. It explains also why there is some cooperation between big corps and the NSA.

Winning with Precise Words: A guide to understanding Islam


Jul 27 2017 | by

It is very difficult to have the right thoughts if you don’t have the right words. Almost all of the words used in talking about Islam are subjective. What do words like moderate Islam and radical Islam actually mean? They are subjective terms. We need to use the objective names that are found in the doctrine of Islam.
The logic and correct naming must come from Allah and Mohammed, the Koran and the Sunna, the Trilogy. Just as there are two Korans, Meccan and Medinan, there are two kinds of Islam and Muslim. Instead of moderate Islam/Muslim, it is Meccan Islam/Meccan Islam. Instead of radical Islam/Muslim, the correct name is Medinan Islam. Don’t say terrorist, say jihadist.

Don’t get involved with Islam, the religion, only deal with political Islam, the Islam for Kafirs.

Refugee Crisis Tearing Europe Apart


Armstrong Economics Blog/Refugees

Re-Posted Jul 29, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

The European Commission is close to triggering Article 7 on Poland for refusing to accept refugees. Article 7 is called the “nuclear option” that denies a member the right to vote.  The Commission is reported to be preparing infringement proceedings against Warsaw for breaching EU law over its plans to bring the judiciary under government control. Under EU law, the Commission may determine that there is a risk of a serious breach if a member goes against the directive of the EU. Poland should simply exit the EU. Italy is drowning in refugees and it is likely to bankrupt that country.

The entire secret agenda is about the Pension Crisis. The low birthrates in Europe have made politicians assume that the refugees can be put to work to pay taxes to bailout the pensions. Yet in the process, they are indeed changing the culture of Europe.

Meanwhile, the terrorist attacks continue. On Friday, a failed refugee lacking documentation began stabbing people in a supermarket on Friday in Hamburg yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ injuring six people before he was tackled by people present. The worst cities are Brussels and Paris and Frankfurt, which used to be very clean, is showing garbage just thrown around in the park by the Euro symbol. London is very booming with tourists still and many European friends who use to go to Greece for holidays switched to Portugal, USA, or Canary Islands.

Russian Sanctions – The Start of World War III?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Russia

Re-Posted Jul 29, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

The Russian sanctions being pushed by Congress demonstrate the most unprofessional comprehension of how to manage an economy I have ever seen. These sanctions are effectively economic war and will find that Europe will be forced to side with Russia.

This is all because of the press like CNN to get ratings they are indeed laying the seeds of war driving the polls to 70% of Americans see Russia as an enemy when in fact the USA interferes in foreign elections all the time. CNN, New York Times, and the Washington Post will be responsible for creating World War III just as Pulitzer and Hearst were responsible for creating the Spanish-American war over fake news. The Fairness Doctrine needs to be restored ASAP and applied to newspapers as well as radio and TV.

The Tensions Between France & Germany


Armstrong Economics Blog/War

Re-Posted Jul 28, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; You commented briefly when you stepped off the stage at the door that the likelihood of war between France and Germany would rise again but not until 2032. Might you elaborate on that for a moment please.

KD

ANSWER: In modern times, there have been three times that war between France and Germany have erupted – 1870, 1914, and 1940. These were as follows:

  • The 1870 Franco-Prussian War, Prussians invaded France when tensions rose Prussia’s influence in central Europe.
  • The 1905 there was the Schlieffen Plan (German Empire’s plan for a two-front war against France and Russia).
  • The 1914 Battle of the Marne, the Schlieffen Plan  implemented at the outset of World War I.
  • The May 1940 Battle of France, Nazi Germany’s invasion of the Ardennes and the Low countries.

The cyclical forces of this conflict is building once again but it is not likely to reach a peak until 2032. The risk of war on this level will increase after 2032 and this may have more of a connection to the refugee crisis than anyone suspects. Keep in mind that Southern Germany still celebrates its war with Prussia as well.

The Refugee Crisis is now Causing Migration of Youth to America


Armstrong Economics Blog/Italy

Re-Posted Jul 27, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; I read your report that the politicians we have here in Europe think they need these refugees to pay future pensions. I read that the IMF has also confirmed your reporting. I understand you also meet with government. Do they ever listen to you that they are destroying our countries here in Europe with high unemployment so the youth are leaving migrating abroad to find work and then all these refugees are supposed to help Europe when our own children are forced to leave. I do not understand how the elite in Brussels cannot see what they are doing to Europe. Will then ever listen to you?

ANSWER: No. Government will never change course until they are confronted with the crisis. This is the same worldwide. So it is not unusual. They will never change course and admit what they have done is seriously changing the history and culture of Europe just as the barbarians that took over Rome destroyed Roman values and culture. You are correct this view that they need the refugees to save socialism is indeed in a paper of the IMF. You are also correct that the youth in Italy are looking to migrate to America in particular hoping for careers and a future that they do not see in Europe.

The barbarians eventually seized control of the army and once that took place, their leader Ricimer began to put puppet emperors on the throne starting with Majorian (457-461 AD) who he later arrested, tortured, and then beheaded installing the next more docile puppet emperor Severus III (461-465 AD). Ricimer kept a series of puppet emperors in place because he was not a patrician worthy of the Roman throne.

RomulusAug-AU2

Interesting, serious bear markets decline for 19 years as did gold from 1980 to 1999. The final fall of Rome was also 19 years from the first puppet emperor in 457 until the last to hold the throne – Romulus Augustus in 476AD.

They say when Rome fell, the people were still laughing. They did not pay attention to the trend that was unfolding just as many cannot see the trend today. This is just part of the process and it is an invasion and takeover, not an assimilation of people.

History Repeats in School Attacks


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest

Re-Posted Jul 26, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

The recent attacks in schools that have people calling for the banning of guns that are portrayed as always the worst in history, we clearly do not grasp that such events are not isolated and they are not limited to only guns. The Bath Consolidated School in Michigan remains as the biggest attack upon children after school board member Andrew Kehoe used dynamite to blow it up on May 18, 1927.

There are similar events carried out for various reasons such as Columbine High School, Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook Elementary, yet all tend to have a common theme of some mental health issue. History repeats because given the same set of circumstances. the likelihood of the same or similar outcome will result. In this case, Andrew Kehoe had his farm repossessed, could not meet his payments, and seems to have sought vengeance for losing everything.

Schulz Warning if Italy is Not Given Aid by the EU The Refugee Crisis Will Explode Again


Armstrong Economics Blog/Refugees

Re-Posted Jul 25, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

SPD chancellor candidate Martin Schulz has come out and warned that if Italy is not given support, then it will send the refugees to Germany which it can no longer afford to accept any more. Schulz is warning that the refugee crisis in Germany will explode, IF Italy is not provided support from the European Union. Schulz is saying that since 2015, over one million refugees had infiltrated Germany and it is just beyond control. The question becomes whether this will get much worse and disrupt the German elections in the come of September.

If the EU does not stop the refugee invasion, they are going to suffer a tremendous economic decline beyond imagination going into 2021.

Poland Suggests Using Refugees to Form an Army – Very Bad Idea


Armstrong Economics Blog/War

Re-Posted Jul 25, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

Nike-Riot

Poland’s foreign minister has proposed forming an army out of the refugee men arriving in Europe. His logic is that Poland could ill-afford to send its troops to the Middle East. That may sound good use of refugees, but there is a serious problem. If Europe creates an army out of refugees, Brussels will then have the power to defend itself from Europeans with an effective mercenary army. This is the most dangerous proposition ever for an army with no community ties to the people will easily be used to oppress the people. Just look at the history of the Nika Revolt in Byzantium as an example. The emperor used foreign troops to slaughter the protesters when the local army would not kill its own people.
