Darwin – Hitler – Transgender


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politically Correct Re-Posted Oct 12, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty, it seems like this entire transgender stuff has been exploited. I agree that it was never an issue until someone pushed this in the face of everyone. Now, the UN is promoting transgender lesbians. Why would someone change their sex if they still like the opposite sex? This is becoming so confusing. If the transgenders are less than 0.5% of the population, then what is the UN spending money on this when it is probably 10% at best of this 0.5%? We have wars, and 8 to 10 million Ukrainians have fled Ukraine. However, transgender lesbians are still lesbians, which is more important than telling Zelensky to negotiate or try to resolve the Israeli-Hamas War.

You have said this is promoting an agenda to reduce population. Some suggest that this is all connected to the 19th-century European view that they were a superior race promoted by Hitler and the discrimination of races. This seems to be going over the top. Is all of this connected?

REPLY: Many people have no idea about the connection between Hitler and Darwin and how the Nazis targeted the first transgenders. Darwin had a very profound impact on 19th-century thinking. Of course, there was the religious conflict of evolving from monkeys. However, this was also behind Hitler’s search for an ancient Arian Race to counter Darwin.

The idea of a superior human race existed in Europe during the late 19th century. It appears to have arisen after Charles Darwin’s 1859 publication of the Origin of Species. While many people have argued that there has never been a missing link discovered to support Darwin, they do not understand that this was ALSO the motivation behind Hitler’s obsession with a superior ancient Arian race to counter Darwin’s theory that we evolved from monkeys. It was very curious, for this ancient Arian race was promoted by people claiming to be scientists. This was also the origin of the Nazis hating Jews, and they began to view different races as inferior.

They even created human zoos as early as 1870. Darwin had set in motion this debate, and Ethnology studies emerged in Germany, taking an entirely new approach in the 1870s. They began to put humans on display, incorporating them into zoos. The scientists supported this as being educational. However, this was all about countering Darwin. These human zoos sparked many elite debates, but what emerged was the idea that Europeans had “evolved” into a superior race, and putting natives from distant lands on display in cages supported this idea.

These human zoos became the link between transgender and homosexuality. The first transgender operation was by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld (1868 – 1935), a German physician specializing in sexology. He advocated for sexual minorities and founded the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee and the World League for Sexual Reform. This was said to have been the organization to have supported homosexual and transgender rights.

However, this concept of a mythical Arian race that existed in antiquity was a passion of Hitler, thanks to Darwin. Between May 1 and October 15, 1896, the Great Business Exhibition of Berlin occurred. It was there where this idea of an Arian race was made popular taking hold among some elites, for they created a human zoo as well where people from Germany’s colonies, such as New Guinea and Africa, were put on display for the visitors to gawk at.

The fascists targeted Hirschfeld and then the Nazis because he was Jewish but also gay. He was beaten severely in 1920, and in 1933, the Nazis sacked his organization and burned all his research and books. He fled Germany and was exiled to France, where he died in 1935.

I agree; this is all becoming so confusing it is hard to follow the logic of changing your sex to be still attracted to the opposite sex. Then there was the video of a guy who wanted to change his sex to be the first transgender to have an abortion. Nothing makes sense.

As I have said, Thailand is the sex change capital of the world. They do not demand that you can no longer define what a woman is, and mothers are now just birthing machines. In Thailand, they simply call themselves Ladyboys. They do not demand that everyone else must change pronouns and you cannot define what is a woman.

This transgender issue is turning up far more discrimination against this entire transgender agenda needlessly. It appears to be more directed at creating division than ending discrimination. It certainly has not reduced discrimination but it has increased it. Personally, I am offended to hear my mother is not a mother but some birthing machine. Now this offends the majority and that only leads to a backlash. This implies others have seized this issue for political reasons – not the gay community.

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.

When It Comes to U.S. Intelligence Community Claims, ie. Egypt Warning Israel, Apply Strong Cynicism


Posted originally on TCTH on October 12, 2023 | Sundanc

Apparently, some people have forgotten that American citizens are in an abusive relationship with our government.  A government that has demonstrably lied repeatedly and used the official institutions of the U.S. intelligence apparatus to do so [See reference of 50 former intel officials claiming Biden laptop was Russian disinformation].

So, allow me to walk through the process of the story attributed most recently to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCaul, as relayed to him by DNI Avril Haines, an Obama operative inside the Biden administration, and broadcast to media.

McCaul claims the US Intelligence Community know that Egypt warned Israel of the pending Hamas attack.  Everything about this is sketchy in the extreme.  Senior Egyptian Intelligence officials state, without qualification, that such a warning never happened {link}, and Bibi Netanyahu has said it was fake news {link}.  I believe President Fattah Abdel al-Sisi and Prime Minister Netanyahu – here’s why.

First, don’t forget the geopolitical motives to disparage and diminish Egypt after they recently joined the BRICS economic alliance.

Second, don’t forget that following Obama and Clinton’s ill-fated attempt to install a Muslim Brotherhood leader in Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, General al-Sisi was forced to stop the Islamist Spring in Egypt.  That put Sisi on the opposite side of Obama, and years of manipulative disparagement ensued.   However, Sisi put his commitment to eradicating extremism -like Hamas- into action, not mere words {GO DEEP}.

In 2014, Sisi began destroying Hamas tunnels into Gaza from the Sinai region of Egypt.  {link} This was not a small task, as it was discovered that one-third of all buildings in the region contained tunnels into Gaza that were being used by Hamas terrorists. {link}  At the time, we called them al-Qaeda and ISIS, but they are all various factions of the extremist sentiment espoused by the Muslim Brotherhood.  Sisi kicked the Brotherhood out of Egypt {link}.  They fled to Qatar.

In retaliation, in early 2015 Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood put a fatwah on al-Sisi and called for Jihad against Egypt {link}. Against the backdrop of the first border opening between Egypt’s northern Sinai and Gaza, and against the ongoing efforts by the al-Sisi led coalition to move toward peace between Arabs and Israelis, the extremists strike back in 2017 with a horrific terrorist attack against the Al Rawdah mosque in Bir al-Abed, west of El Arish, the main city in North Sinai. 235 people were killed and hundreds more wounded {link}

Qatar has been a source of historic extremist and terrorist related problems for the Gulf Security Council and aforementioned Gulf States.

Here’s some historic background for context:

  • Qatar was the intermediary used by President Obama for covert arms and monetary transfers by the Obama CIA and Obama/Clinton State Department respectively.
  • Qatar was also the chosen home for detainees when President Obama released the GITMO terrorists.
  • Most importantly, however, is the relationship between Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood.  When Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi named the Muslim Brotherhood a terror organization, their leadership fled to safe harbor in Qatar.
  • {LINK}
el-sisi in Saudi

Egyptian President Fattah al-Sisi then began a months and years long assembly of Gulf Arab states (Gulf Security Council) to boycott Qatar, cut all diplomatic ties, and isolate them until they renounced terrorism and stopped providing safe harbor for extremists.

Eventually, Qatar acquiesced and sent the Muslim Brotherhood to Turkey.

President al-Sisi then asked Interpol to watch carefully and notify him if the Muslim Brotherhood were ever allowed to leave Turkey.  [Yeah, al-Sisi is a badass like that]

Recep Erdogan gave the Brotherhood safe harbor in Turkey.  Turkey is not an ally when it comes to the elimination of Islamic extremism.

al-Sisi’s record fighting against Islamic extremism is not in question.  He is a man who has seen the devastation created upon his people,and he has taken action- not words – to stand behind his effort.   The Islamists hate al-Sisi with a passion.

If Egypt says they did not warn Israel, I believe them.  If al-Sisi thought Hamas was going to launch a serious attack, he would have called Prime Minister Netanyahu directly. Both leaders say this did not happen.

Western, U.S., intelligence is saying that Bibi was warned by Egypt.  However, Egypt denies this.

With everything we know about U.S. intelligence operations, and considering their ideologues in the intelligence community have Obama/Biden motives to undermine Benjamin Netanyahu and install a controllable regime in Egypt, there’s no reason to believe this is not manufactured political intelligence intended to weaken Netanyahu at a moment of vulnerability.

In the world of the Obama ideologues, they “never let a crisis go to waste,” even when it involves the massacre of innocent men, women and children.  If they can undermine Netanyahu, to the benefit of their pro-Iran agenda, they will.

Do not forget all of the efforts the Obama/Biden team put into creating a crisis in the Israeli political system, and activating all resources to manipulate the public, and align with the opposition party inside Israel.

Mike McCaul is a useful idiot Republican, a member of the professional DC class of UniParty loyalists.  He’s not on the intelligence committee, yet as the Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, he received a “non-classified” political briefing alongside the Biden White House.  Think about that scenario.  Think internal tradecraft.

McCaul then did exactly what the tradecraft operators would expect him to after a “non-classified” briefing, he went to the media.  Duh!  Can you see it now? 

We are being manipulated.  We need to break this cycle of abuse via propaganda, by reminding ourselves about the history of how we have been abused.  Do not support the goals of those in the U.S. government who are aligned in sympathetic cause with the jihadists.

Lastly, I support the current efforts of Israel because: (a) they are targeting the correct enemy, and (b) because I disagree with the fundamental Muslim Brotherhood proposition that I should be killed.

Mike McCaul is a useful idiot!

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.

New York Appeals Court Halts Process of Forced Dissolution of Trump’s Business Operations in State


Posted originally on the CTH on October 6, 2023 | Sundance

The New York appeals court refused to stop or delay the ongoing civil action against President Trump; however, they did put a stay on the forced dissolution of the businesses.

Activist Judge Arthur Engoron had previously given President Trump’s team 10 days to outline a receivership process that would dissolve his business interests in New York. The appeals court ruling stops that from happening as the civil trial continues.

CNN — A New York appeals court judge on Friday rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to stop the ongoing $250 million civil fraud trial, but temporarily halted the process of breaking up his businesses.  Associate Justice Peter Moulton issued the ruling after a brief hearing Friday afternoon. (link)

This civil trial is a farce manufactured by radical Lawfare ideologues.

Report – President Trump Will Endorse Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House


Posted originally on the CTH on October 6, 2023 | Sundance 

President Trump is scheduled to meet with Republican House Conference leadership on Tuesday next week.  According to Congressman Troy Nehls, President Trump is going to recommend and endorse Ohio Representative Jim Jordan for the position:

[Source Link]

Obviously, I do not personally like this idea, as I think it’s just another bondo and spray paint application upon the Republican wing of the UniParty.  However, oddly enough when John Boehner stepped down, I wanted to see Jim Jordan instead of Paul Ryan.  Goes to show how rapidly the machinery in DC can compromise someone.

Ukraine will get funded.  Jordan will be the arbiter of which DC inhabitants will be protected from subpoenas; the House will change the rules to protect him.  The door nameplates change, and everyone goes back to business as usual.  Meh, I wonder who will be placed as chair of the Judiciary Committee and Weaponization Committee?

President Trump Lawyers File Motion for Dismissal in DC J6 Case on First Constitutional Grounds – Presidential Immunity


Posted originally on the CTH on October 5, 2023 | Sundance

UPDATE:  Outline edited as original review cited Mar-a-Lago case, this is DC case.

As expected, the first legal motion to dismiss the DC January 6 case is based on the first constitutional application, presidential immunity. [Full Filing pdf HERE]

President Trump’s attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche say within their first filing that special prosecutor Jack Smith’s case against President Trump is an attempt to criminalize actions that were well within his White House duties, such as enforcing federal election laws.

“The Constitution, the Supreme Court, and hundreds of years of history and tradition all make clear, the President’s motivations are not for the prosecution or this Court to decide. Rather, where, as here, the President’s actions are within the ambit of his office, he is absolutely immune from prosecution.”

[Source pdf]

It is a strong and compelling argument, citing numerous prior cases and rulings on the plenary power of the executive and the constitutional establishment of the President as the absolute power within the executive branch.   The argument hits one of three core tenets that Jack Smith has used to establish his case.

Even left-leaning Politico seems to accept the foundation of the DC Smith case weakens when contrast against the executive power of the president.

[The] prosecutors’ case is really about distinct powers that the president has: communicating with the public, organizing his administration, talking to Congress, enforcing election laws and ensuring the Constitution is faithfully executed. Whether Trump genuinely believed that the election was stolen — which his attorneys say he did — is irrelevant in assessing his immunity from prosecution, they argue.

“This conduct is manifestly part of the President’s responsibilities in our constitutional tradition, and the question whether the President has a formal role in the election certification process makes no difference,” the attorneys wrote.

[…] Trump’s attorneys say there’s an even more fundamental problem with the charges against him: He was acquitted by the Senate in an impeachment trial for similar conduct. That acquittal, they say, renders Trump “absolutely immune” from prosecution for related acts.

“The Impeachment Clauses provide that the President may be charged by indictment only in cases where the President has been impeached and convicted by trial in the Senate,” the attorneys wrote. “Here, President Trump was acquitted by the Senate for the same course of conduct.”

The Senate acquitted Trump despite a 57-43 majority favoring his conviction because of a two-thirds requirement in the Constitution. At the time, Trump was charged with one count — inciting insurrection — related to his speech to a rally crowd that later became the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The impeachment trial came just a month after the attack — and shortly after Trump had left office. (link)

President Trump NYC Attorney Alina Habba Gives Great Breakdown of NYC Trial Status


Posted originally on the CTH on October 5, 2023 | Sundance 

Alina Habba is one of the key attorneys on the civil case in New York City.  Within this interview with Larry Kudlow, Habba gives a great overall status update on the case and draws some interesting points that I was unfamiliar with.

The New York AG is using a “consumer fraud statute” as the cornerstone of the case.  If you think about it, when it comes to the lender/borrower dynamic, Donald Trump is the consumer in the transaction.  The statute that was created to protect the consumer from predatory lenders is being twisted by Lawfare against the consumer, presumably under the auspices of protecting the lenders.   The case is built upon a fraudulent premise, reversing the intent of the statute being used.  WATCH:

Pentagon Officials Have Been Operating a Dogfighting Ring for 5 Years


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 5, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Pentagon is beyond corrupt and above the law. Understandably, many people relate to their animal companions more than other humans. This story is likely to cause more anger than the TRILLIONS that have gone missing from the Pentagon in recent decades. Office of the Secretary of Defense Deputy Chief Information Officer Frederick Moorefield Jr., 62, and Mario Flythe, 49, have been charged for running a violent illegal dogfighting ring for half a decade.

They gamble with our money and have no regard for human lives, so it is not far-fetched that they’d do the same to helpless dogs. The two Pentagon officials believed they were speaking on an encrypted service, but nothing is safe. Dogfighting is a cruel and sinister activity that is considered a felony in all 50 states. People tend to associate dogfighting rings with gangs and low-level criminals, but these people have been torturing animals as a hobby.

The two low lives discussed how to train and kill dogs for their gambling ring. They called the operation “Geehad Kennels” and “Razor Sharp Kennels” as this was an ongoing underground ring that was permitted to run for half a decade. The district attorney’s office conducted a search and found  12 remaining dogs, most if not all who will be euthanized, along with “veterinary steroids, training schedules, a carpet that appeared to be stained with blood, and a weighted dog vest with a patch reading ‘Geehad Kennels.’”

Moorefield and Flythe used electrical jumper cables to murder dogs the dogs who lost – absolutely disgraceful.

Does the Pentagon not run background checks? It is hard to imagine that no one noticed after FIVE years. Moorefield was responsible for the Pentagon’s “non-nuclear strategic strike” and “integrated missile defense.” How do you expect them to treat human beings when they have no regard for life? Considering Fauci’s experiments on beagles, it is safe to say our government is filled with heartless psychopaths.
