World War III Begins in the Financial Markets


Armstong Economics Blog/Central Banks Re-Posted Feb 3, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The Bank of England raised rates for a second time which is the first time they have responded in this manner to inflation since 2004 during the boom into 2007. While the Bank of England has choreographed its intent to raise rates as has the Federal Reserve, this meant that the markets were not surprised by the 25 basis point rate increase. The  Monetary Policy Committee voted for 5-4 and which takes the main Bank Rate to 0.5%, as the central bank struggles to contain soaring inflation unleashed by the COVID Plandemic. Four members voted to increase rates by 50 basis points to 0.75%.

Meanwhile, the European Central Bank has destroyed the European bond market with their NEGATIVE interest rates. This entire COVID Plandemic has been used for this Great Reset which was created at the World Economic Forum. Schwab has a death-grip around the throat of Europe. Aside from his Young Leaders Program where he has been training people and strategically placing that in governments around the world, he has boldly placed three of his board members of the WEF in the very top positions at the head of the EU, the head of the ECB, and the head of the International Monetary Fund.

The Bank of England and the Federal Reserve are defending their economies from the onslaught of the WEF. This leaves the European Central Bank standing along with negative interest rates defending Schwab’s darkest visions for our future – the end of Democratic forms of government pushing the world into World War III so he can Build Back Better.

We are witnessing a Financial war Fed & Bank of England v Schwab’s Build Back Better agenda

Alberta Towing Services Company Onforms RCMP They Will Not Participate in Effort to Remove Trucker Blockade

There are some good developments and some disappointing developments recently in the Freedom Convoy efforts to regain personal liberty and remove the COVID mandates in Canada.  First, the good development…

The RCMP attempted to get the contracted support of a Western Canada towing company, Inter-Pacific Transporation, in the effort to break up the Alberta truck blockade in/around the border crossing between Coutts, Alberta (CA) and Sweet Grass, Montana (USA).  However, the towing company released a public statement saying they stand with their brothers, the truck drivers:

In a less positive development, the interim voice of the Canadian Conservative Party, Mrs. Candice Bergen, had her first opportunity to confront the Trudeau administration in support of working class Canadians.  She failed miserably.

Instead of taking the issues of vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, covid restrictions and freedom in general to the floor of the Parliament, Ms. Bergen fell into the trap of debating racism with the Trudeau leadership.

As if operating in the 1800s, with diplomatic and political aloof-minded culturalisms, and in an epic display of ineptitude, the inability to articulate an argument, a detached focus toward the issues at hand and general weakness of principle, Ms. Bergen showcased her own incapacity to understand how to avoid the Alinsky approach of her political opponent.

Ms. Bergen’s first effort at representing strong conservative principles and being a pragmatic voice for Middle Canada, failed miserably.  WATCH:

If this really is the best voice Canadian conservatives can put forth, the truckers and working class protestors will have a much more difficult fight on their hands.  It is almost too painful to keep watching this level of pathetic weakness.

Mrs. Bergen is trying to please the abuser while framing her arguments and positions on the terms and conditions created by her opposition.

Perhaps the premise of controlled opposition is just a structurally inherent aspect to the system of government, but surely somewhere in Canada there must be a strong conservative politician not suffering from parliamentary Stockholm Syndrome.

Fearful of Protest Trucks Arriving, Quebec City Officials Block Streets with City Trucks

As the Ottawa police chief ponders the deployment of the Canadian military to remove protestors and is concerned that more protest groups are likely to arrive in support of the existing convoy, city officials in Quebec have deployed a proactive strategy – block the streets with city trucks.

A Radio Canada journalist in Quebec shares the following picture:

Quebec City officials have moved municipal trucks into place to block the streets from protest trucks.  Yes Alice, Canadian officials are blocking the streets with trucks in order to stop trucks from blocking the streets.  Brilliant!

Meanwhile, as many of the locals join in celebration and merriment with the protest groups, some of the more leftist Ottawans are now protesting at the police department for not removing the protestors.  They accuse the Freedom protestors of “running amok.”

(Via CBC) – […] Rhys McGaw, a downtown resident, and others gathered for a second night on Wednesday to object to what they view as inaction by police.  “In my neighbourhood, on my street, down the street, in the stores of Centretown or Lowertown — that’s where people are just running amok,” McGaw said.” (more)

Despite earlier requests by city officials for the Canadian military to get involved, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says -from his secret bunker- that’s “not in the cards.”  Trudeau also doubled down on his position that he will not negotiate with the Freedom Convoy protestors.

However, the prime minister did affirm that RCMP officials will be present in Ottawa to provide safe space emotional counseling for residents experiencing trauma and psychological violence committed by the scruffy and unmasked working-class horde now occupying Parliament Hill.

(Via CBC) – […] When asked if he’d ever consider negotiating directly with the protesters to get them to leave, Trudeau said that vaccine mandates were debated in detail during the September federal election.

“That is the decision Canadians took in the last election, by voting for parties that were supporting those mandates,” he told a virtual news conference Thursday.

“So having a group of people who disagree with the outcome of an election, who want to go a different way and bring in an alternative government, is a non-starter in a responsible democracy.”  (read more)
