The Fate of the World – Answering Questions


Posted Nov 30, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

COMMENT #1: Marty, I want to thank you for an excellent conference. I have attended every WEC since 2012. I did not make the 2011 one. Your sources are always the best. I want to thank you for your report on Israel for it said it all. There was advance information just as 9/11. Your report explained the backdrop, which you never get from mainstream media. I would vote for a London WEC after the May 7th turning point. All the events that have happened on the precise day of your Economic Confidence Model are just mindblowing. I hope Scotty does not beam you up. We need you for 2032.

REPLY #1: Nothing but nothing ever seems to be what it seems. You always have to pick up the rug and look for the dirt they swept beneath.

ECM 2011 2020 Detailed
ECM Wave 2020 2028 Pi

COMMENT #2: I want to thank you for an enlightening WEC. The chief of staff from Congress attending your session on Saturday was very informative. I understand why you mentioned what he said about how things work that most people would never have believed if you said it. I have followed you since the 1980s. Your ECM has identified turning points to the day where nobody can argue there is no order to events. The wave that peaked in 2007.15 was the very day of the high in the Shiller real estate index, and we had the recession after that. It looks like a recession from 2024.35 into 2028.65.

REPLY #2: Yes, the ECM has impressed me. As I have said, I never expected to create a model that could forecast wars and major events. Even 9/11 took place on the precise target date. Hitler became chancellor on the precise day. The examples are endless—even the Battle of Actium between Octavian v Mark Antony & Cleopatra. We will enter a recession, but this one is more likely to be STAGFLATION, where the prices continue to rise, but the economic growth is below the inflation rate, much like the wave during the 1970s.

COMMENT #3: Thank you sincerely for another amazing WEC. I think that I’ve either attended (or bought tickets to get videos) for all WECs except for first one in Princeton in 2011(?) and maybe one or two in Europe.

In listening carefully, you said that you expect “news” in mid-December. Will they lock us down again?

Best,
J

REPLY #3 I reviewed several markets on the Private Blog, which you have probably seen under the title:

Ukraine on the Edge of Victory or Defeat

We have a Double Directional Change in gold during December as well.

COMMENT #4: As a retired Army Officer (1990) I am expected to be a “Soldier for life.” according to the Army Retirement publication called “Echos”. Well, the Retirement Services has a board that meets occasionally discussing retirement issues and does recommendations. Not one mention of the woke programs and their effects were mentioned on the possible issues facing recruiting.Based on my years of active-duty service, I can tell you the LGBQT indoctrination, and DEI forced training has a severe negative impact. I, in good faith, cannot recommend any service at this time. I told Retirement Services that.

REPLY #4: That was a stupid idea, just like putting transgener on a BudLight can. If you do not know who your customers are, you do not deserve to be in business. The US military made a major mistake with the vaccines and their WOKE programs.

COMMENT #5: The goldbugs are at it again, claiming that the UAE has shifted from US dollar pricing to local currency, and this will significantly impact the US dollar. It is always the same thing they have preached since 1971. The dollar must be destroyed, and only then gold will rise. They will never learn from their mistakes.

Valerian I AU Double Aureus bino and aureus

REPLY #5: They do not understand anything. The coins were gold and silver in 260 AD. But when the Roman Emperor Valerian I (253-260AD) was captured by the Persians, there was a financial panic, and bankers were uncertain if the coinage of Rome would still be valid. The coins in purchasing power were ALWAYS worth more than the metal content. The value of the Roman coinage was based on their economic power the same as the US dollar today. I seriously doubt the BRICS will finance the world as the NY bankers do and when they sell their debt, they come to NY and offer it in dollars.

QUESTION #6: Dear Martin and the AE team,
Appreciate all that you do. Your expertise is understated!
My question is as follows: Are there any North American conferences that you are aware of that provide a similar experience to your WEC, specifically for individuals aged 14-25?
I understand that heads of state have attended Mr. Schwab’s educational facilities. However, our public and private education institutions for this demographic rarely offer outlets or activities to foster early interest in these areas or develop leaders who can make common-sense decisions. My concern is that the new generation is showing less interest in economic matters and more in social media and other fruitless pursuits, potentially steering us in the same direction that led to our current state.
Any suggestions about such conferences would be greatly appreciated. I do realize that I may need to take the initiative to develop one myself if very few options are available. I must say that this idea came about after watching you for many years. I am very inspired by your zeal, strength, and work ethic.
You never give up!
Thanks for everything you have contributed to the world. Your legacy will surely be one for the history books.
Kindest regards,
CV

REPLY #6: We have been looking at perhaps an introductory session on economics streaming worldwide, sort of the counter-balance to what Schwab is doing pushing his version of Communism. It is on the bucket list. If there are those who want to help organize something like that, I would certainly entertain that idea.

US Real Estate Prices Rose in September


Posted originally on Nov 30, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

House US Real Estate

The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index reported a 3.9% year-over-year increase in home prices in September, despite a surge in mortgage rates. The growth coincided with the 30-year fixed mortgage rate’s climb toward 8%. Notably, rents are easing while home prices continue to rise. The report highlighted that of the 20 metropolitan markets, Detroit saw the largest annual increase at 6.7%, followed by San Diego at 6.5%, and New York at 6.3%. However, three cities, including Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Portland, reported lower prices compared to a year ago. The housing market’s strength has been attributed to a relative shortage of inventory for sale, which has supported prices despite the increase in mortgage rates and insurance premiums.

As I foretold in April 2021:”One of the factors that confirmed to me that we would be heading into progressive inflation long-term was the fact that this Residential Index elected a Yearly Bullish Reversal at the end of 2012. That confirmed the long-term trend had changed. However, urban condo and commercial properties were forming a divergence. I assumed that was being caused by the debt and rising taxes in cities. In that regard, I suppose I was only partially correct, for the rest has been the brain-dead response to COVID. For example, locking people down and causing them to lose jobs has resulted in a sharp rise in violence. Not just mass shootings, but all sorts of conflicts from domestic disputes to outright feuds. Cities, such as Philadelphia and New York, have sections in which the police have totally lost control. It is debatable if they will ever be able to restore civility to these regions. While Fauci claims to ignore the Constitutional violations, his agenda in helping Gates and Schwab is more than simply preparing society for the Great Reset. He is furthering the collapse of urban civility and this trend is part of what is driving this index. I would expect to see this escalate and if we make a new high on this index and close above last year’s high, single-family homes outside of urban centers will rise sharply into 2023.”

US Residential Real Estate 8 9 21

The typical analysis of sales down mortgage rates up is no longer the rulebook. As I explained in the Real Estate report provided to World Economic Conference attendees, America experienced a great migration after COVID lockdowns. People fled states with harsh COVID laws and rising crime. There has been a great wealth migration across America as both individuals and businesses are seeking refuge in red states. As taxes continue to rise to accommodate failed policies, the states with somewhat of a resemblance of taxation with representation will become more appealing.

There is a reason that Blackrock has become the largest landlord in the nation by far, in addition to plans for 15-minute cities. Institutions have also lost their confidence in the government – the 30-year fixed mortgage is more appealing than the 30-year Treasury.

For the past few years, I have heard countless realtors and brokers saying that home prices are expected to go down next quarter or the one after that. Inventory has continued to decline while prices and rates have risen. This is not the 2008 crisis as we do not have an over-leveraged market. The market can no longer be viewed from a broad perspective.

The EAT-Lancet Commission – UN to Release Meat Consumption Limitations


Posted originally on Nov 30, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Insects.Bugs_.WorldEconomicForum.WEF_

It has been confirmed that the United Nations will begin to advocate for a reduction in meat consumption this December at the COP28 summit. The UN states that “richer nations” must do their part to adhere to the Paris Climate Accords by changing their dietary needs. The people making these decisions on our behalf will be flying to the summit on their private jets and dining in luxury. These top 1% of “polluter elites” produce more carbon emissions than the bottom 66% combined.

The EAT-Lancet Commission (also called EAT Forum) has partnered with the UN to provide future dietary guidelines. “While meat is an important source of key nutrients including protein, iron and vitamin B12, excess meat consumption can harm our health and the planet. Aim to consume no more than 98 grams of red meat (pork, beef or lamb), 203 grams of poultry and 196 grams of fish per week,” their website states. A chicken breast contains about 24 grams of protein, for perspective.

“The EAT-Lancet Commission provide scientific targets that will allow us to feed up to 10 billion people by 2050 within planetary boundaries.” This is the precise target that the World Economic Forum has been targeting – 2050. The WEF has stated that since the world’s population will grow to 9.7 billion by 2050, we need to begin incorporating insects into our diets to feed the additional 2 billion mouths.

There is no statistically significant correlation between our current meat consumption and CO2 emissions or feeding the population in a few decades. We all saw the likes of Kamala Harris and other politicians using their gas stoves on Thanksgiving while they were telling the masses, the Great Unwashed, to remove them from their homes to save the planet. The climate change agenda is purely a control tactic. It gives the elite globalists control over our tax spending, energy and food consumption, and freedom of movement. The very people preaching that we must abandon our way of life to save the world KNOW that it is a scam.

Alex Jones and the Largest Defamation Case in US History


Posted originally on Nov 30, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Jones Alex

Alex Jones’ comments on Sandy Hook were merely the pathway for the government to target Jones after a career of questioning the establishment. Alex Jones found himself in the largest defamation case in American history for questioning the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut. The InfoWars host was coerced into paying the families $1.5 billion – an amount they knew he could not pay.

Jones did not commit the massacre, nor was he involved in any way. It was a passionately heated and tragic topic and the public court of opinion placed those feelings on Alex Jones, as the murderer, Adam Lanza, took his life after the killings. Now I do not agree with his statements regarding Sandy Hook, but it is of concern that the government can stifle free speech and put an arbitrary price tag on the damages. Jones was forced to file bankruptcy in December 2022, but the families are still seeking his money.

Now, seeing as they may not receive additional payments, the lawyers representing the families are asking Jones for only 6% of what he owes in addition to dropping the claims against him. “Jones may elect to receive a complete discharge for himself and (his parent company also in bankruptcy) if he agrees to pay, from any source, at least $8.5 million per year, plus 50 percent of any income over $9 million per year, for 10 years,” the settlement states. How are the courts arriving at these arbitrary numbers?

Where is the rage for the countless deaths by Big Pharma? What about Perdue who created the opiate crisis that killed thousands of kids? People are marching in the streets as we speak and denying the Hamas attack. People can currently question the 9/11 attacks, the JFK assassination, and other shunned topics thought to be conspiracy theories. If the powers that be had their way, conspiracy theories would be banned. Any theory that goes against the status quo must be demonized before others also begin to question current narratives.

2022_03_21_Infowars Martin Armstrong

I have appeared on InfoWars numerous times and appreciate that Jones is willing to question everything and anything. His delivery scares those who do not want to question the system, but he is not some crazed or evil man. He sparks a dialogue on topics that are typically not discussed. Hyperbole and seemingly over-the-top statements are part of his brand.

To put this into perspective, a wrongful death payout is around $1.5 million. Again, I am not in favor of the statement Jones made but he expressed a viewpoint and that should be protected under 1A. Plus, everyone knows Alex Jones is outspoken and questions everything. He just created a parody video game called “New World Order Wars,” where players can enter Epstein Island and hunt down Bill Clinton. His statements are dismissed due to his hyperbolic delivery but there is truth in much of what he says. In the case of Sandy Hook, Jones apologized to the families and retracted his statements. This situation shows that free speech is extremely limited and the consequences could result in financial ruin.

Elon Musk Tells Boycott Advertisers to “Go F**K Themselves”


Posted originally on the CTH on November 29, 2023 | Sundance

Twitter owner Elon Musk went full wolverine earlier today during remarks at the ‘New York TImes’ DealBook Summit’ on a wide-ranging interview including anti-semitism, an advertiser boycott, Tesla, AI and more.

I have been skeptical of Mr. Musk, particularly over the mechanics of his purchase against the backdrop of DHS/FBI control elements; his remarks today are going viral. WATCH:

Despite continued reservations about Mr. Musk, I appreciate and respect his candor.

Data Analytical Services (DAS) – Hemisphere Project Expanded – Government Surveillance


Posted originally on Nov 29, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Government Spying on Everything

Snowden and others warned us. The US government has been spying on citizens at the federal, state, and local levels. Telecommunications company AT&T partnered with Data Analytical Services (DAS) to provide them with our digital footprints. The government is targeting everyone under the assumption that every American is a criminal.

They speak of the Stasi as if that was a time long ago and forgotten. Trillions of phone records are in the hands of government permanently. AT&T received indirect financing grants for its participation in the mass surveillance program. The government could target a criminal, or their neighbors, relatives, someone merely in their phone contacts list, or even the victim of a crime. The local cop could ping in to see his girlfriend’s phone location, for example. Warrants are no longer required.

Surveilence

US Senator Ron Wyden wrote a letter of “serious concerns about the legality” of DAS to US Attorney General Merrick Garland, obtained by Wired. Wyden said the program “would justifiably outrage many Americans and other members of Congress.” The DAS has expanded after project Hemisphere, the previous government surveillance program that has been largely scrubbed from record. Obama began Hemisphere in 2013 and also partnered with AT&T for data-mining services. Trump reinstated and later halted the program, while Biden refunded and recharged the initiative. Hemisphere was simply renamed to DAS since the cover was blown.

Big Brother

DAS operates under a program called HIDTA, which is dedicated to drug trafficking and the ongoing lost war on drugs. But they are not limited to tapping the phones of alleged drug dealers or buyers. DAS bypasses numerous laws by claiming they are not wiretapping citizens, which would require a warrant. They claim they are merely storing data instead of conversations. They are able to track locations using this data as well. “The scale of the data available to and routinely searched for the benefit of law enforcement under the Hemisphere Project is stunning in its scope,” Wyden’s letter to Garland says.

The government also has access to our email history. They can search as far back as 1987 if that data is available. The program knows if someone switches numbers and everyone has the potential to be targeted. Technically, these law enforcement agencies need a subpoena, which is easy to obtain and often bypassed. Of most concern is that data exists, and the government has a verifiable way to track citizens’ whereabouts at all times without reason of suspicion.

New York Loses $12 Million Per Day Due to Shoplifting


Posted originally on Nov 28, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

NYC Christmas

Gov. Kathy Hochul is a menace who is setting fire to what remains of the once beloved state of New York. Hochul is responsible for rule 2.13 and is one of the most obnoxious vaccine supporters on the world stage. Hochul is supported by the same people who donated to Andrew Cuomo, and she is full support of the Build Back Better agenda.

That is why she is passively allowing the state to burn. The light on crime policies has led to a drastic uptick in crime across the state. Both Republicans and Democrats attempted to pass a bill to curb theft but Hochul shot it down, stating the requested $35 million was not in the budget. Theft in NY has increased by 64% over the past four years.

In the city, Eric Adams recently declared that funding to the police department would diminish due to recent budget cuts. It is fair to say that they deliberately want to make the state a hostile environment as they are effectively warding off tourism and business development.

NYC HELP

Recent data suggests that New York as a whole lost $4.4 billion in 2022 due to organized retail theft. This is not limited to NYC. Places like Syracuse reported a 55% rise in shoplifting over the past two years. “That number is likely higher because businesses often don’t report it — but they do continue to express concerns,” Syracuse Police Chief Joe Cecile said. One pharmacy in Syracuse lost a quarter-million alone due to theft. Store owners have been seriously assaulted or killed. Yet, Hochul believes there should be harsher penalties for the unvaccinated than for criminals.

So thieves are stealing over $12 million daily from New York retailers. The budget for a preventative organization (not that it is the solution) would be equivalent to a mere three days of theft. Thousands of people and their tax dollars have already fled the state due to their poor policies. The businesses are following, and what will be left? Government-run grocers and 15-minute cities? That is the ultimate goal behind allowing this type of crime to occur without punishment.

Finland Closes Border With Russia to Stop Putin’s Brown People


Posted originally on the CTH on November 28, 2023 | Sundance 

Western media will never say it, but what exactly do you think Russia is doing in Africa?  Think strategically.

The headline simply says Finland will close Russian border to stop asylum seekers. Most readers stop there, thinking Russians are trying to escape the horrible Putin.  However, the reality is something entirely different.

…”Some 900 asylum seekers from nations including Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen have entered Finland from Russia in November, an increase from less than one per day previously, according to the Finnish Border Guard.”…

Finland joined NATO and suddenly Finland doesn’t want brown people.  Apparently, diversity is no longer a strength.

HELSINKI, Nov 28 (Reuters) – Finland will close its entire border with Russia to travellers for the next two weeks in a bid to halt the unusually large flow of asylum seekers to the Nordic nation, which the government and its allies say is an orchestrated move by Moscow.

Finland last week shut all but one of its border posts to travellers from Russia, keeping open only the northernmost crossing located in the Arctic. But this too would now close, the government said on Tuesday.

Some 900 asylum seekers from nations including Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen have entered Finland from Russia in November, an increase from less than one per day previously, according to the Finnish Border Guard.

The decision to shut all eight border crossings means only cargo trains can pass between the two countries, Finland’s Border Guard said.

Helsinki says Moscow is funnelling people to the border in retaliation for its decision to increase defence cooperation with the United States, a charge the Kremlin denies. Finland infuriated Russia earlier this year when it joined NATO, ending decades of military non-alignment, due to the war in Ukraine. (read more)

In semi related news #1…. Another 1,000 illegal Muslim immigrants have just invaded Lampedusa [Italy] aboard two huge boats.  This follows thousands of earlier arrivals that have created a significant problem.

…. So where do you think President of the Italian Republic Giorgia Meloni is?

Today, the President of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, and the President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, Giorgia Meloni, met at the White House.  They reaffirmed the unshakable alliance, strategic partnership, and deep friendship between the United States and Italy.  The ties between Italy and the United States are rooted in history, cultural affinity, and economic cooperation.  They are founded on our shared values and principles – democracy, freedom, respect for human rights – reinforced by the shared objective to promote peace and security, enhance prosperity, and advance sustainability all around the globe.

[…] The leaders also discussed ways to explore mobilizing more headroom and concessional finance to boost the World Bank’s capacity to support countries addressing global challenges and provide strong support for the poorest countries. (read more)

If you get beyond the ridiculous leftist language, likely borne from an intern of Samantha Power, you realize President Meloni is desperate for something, anything, that will keep the African migrants from arriving en masse.  However, as a weak-minded right-winger, she has been brought to heel and is now culturally aligned with the progressives in Davos.

I ask again, what do you think Russia (and China) are doing in Africa?

Vladimir Putin and Chairman Xi know exactly how to play the long game with the west.

[Fox News] – […] China imports cheap oil from countries facing U.S. sanctions, like Russia and Iran. Imports from Russia increased by nearly 23% in the first half of 2023 to more than 2 million barrels per day. China is Iran’s top customer, buying an estimated 1 million barrels per day in 2023.

Study Examines Deaths After COVID Vaccination


Posted originally on Nov 28, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Vaccines 1

A team of researchers wanted to review whether COVID-19 vaccine adverse events were linked to an increase in morbidity. The team looked at published necropsy and autopsy reports related to the COVID vaccine, and identified 678 studies including 44 papers containing 325 autopsy and necropsy cases. Three physicians peer-reviewed these deaths to determine if the vaccine played a role.

The study found a “high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-10 vaccines and death in most cases.” The COVID-19 vaccine developed under Operation Warp Speed was the fastest vaccination initiative in history. Released only 11 months after COVID-19 was first identified, no one knew the long or short-term implications.

Pfizer_CEO_Vaccines Limited

“All utilize mechanisms that can cause serious adverse events; most involve the uncontrolled synthesis of the spike glycoprotein (SP) as the basis of the immunological response. Circulating SP is the likely deleterious mechanism through which COVID-19 vaccines produce adverse effects and /or subunits/peptide fragments can trigger ACE2 receptor degradation and internalization, which may also cause destabilization of the renin–angiotensin system(RAS), resulting in possible enhanced inflammation, vasoconstriction, and thrombosis. SP activates platelets, causes endothelial damage, and directly promotes arterial and venous thrombosis. Moreover, immune system cells that have taken up the lipidnanoparticles (LNPs) then release them back into the circulation with elevated numbers of exosomes containing microRNAs that play a role in inducing a signaling response in recipient cells at distant sites, resulting in severe inflammatory consequences. Further, long term cancer control may be jeopardized in those injected with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines because of IRF7 and IRF9 suppression. There is a distinct potential of a causal link between SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination andneurodegenerative disease, myocarditis, immune thrombocytopenia, Bell’s palsy, liver disease, impaired adaptive immunity, impaired DNA damage response and tumorigenesis.”

The Australian government provided the researchers with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) document that shows mRNA (BNT162) flows through the body for over 48 hours after injection. A spike in glycoprotein (SP) was seen during rat studies and impacts numerous vital organs. VAERS reported over 1.5 million adverse events through May 5, 2023, including 35,324 deaths, 26,928 cases of  myocarditis and pericarditis, 19,546 heart attacks, and 8,701 thrombocytopenia.

2022_12_06_09_27_52_Vaccinated_Majority_of_COVID_19_Deaths_CDC_Data

“If the alarmingly high number of reported deaths are indeed causally linked to COVID-19 vaccination, the implications could be immense, including: the complete withdrawal of all COVID-19 vaccines from the global market, suspension of all remaining COVID-19 vaccine mandates and passports, loss of public trust in government and medical institutions, investigations and inquiries into the censorship, silencing and persecution of doctors and scientists who raised these concerns, and compensation for those who were harmed as a result of the administration of COVID-19 vaccines. Using VAERS data alone to establish a causal link between COVID-19 vaccination and death, however, is not possible due to many limitations and confounding factors.”

Indeed, the findings of this study could cause upheaval. It would destroy the narrative that the government must monitor and drug us to save the world from a health crisis. Based on the autopsies studies, 53% of deaths were due to a failure in the cardiovascular system, followed by hematological (17%), respiratory (8%), multiple organ systems (7%), neurological (4%), immunological (3%), and gastrointestinal (1%). Most deaths occurred within a week from the patient’s last vaccination.

Although the study falls short of directly blaming the vaccine, it does note that three independent doctors found that 73.9% of the studied deaths were thought to be “significantly linked” to the vaccine. They were never safe or effective, and yet our governments continue to push this poison into our systems.
