The Fraud of Climate Change
Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate
Re-Posted Nov 12, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
There are hard links between the world’s largest financial groups, including Goldman Sachs, pushing the climate change agenda by selling “Green Bonds” which are the latest scheme on how to lose a lot of money very fast. They promise to be great sellers as they whip people up into believing they can do their part by purchasing green climate bonds.
The goal is to tap into literally trillions of dollars in the bond markets by capturing new wealth from a younger generation ignorant of investment. There are major global banks and financial giants with their hands out hoping to get more than a fair share of a market that loses money with good consistency.
The fossil-fuel-free investment movement was gaining momentum. The Norwegian sovereign wealth fund claimed it had blacklisted most hydrocarbon energy producers. However, in a country where its wealth has come from oil, it seems a bit odd. They did backtrack slightly and clarified to say they would still allow investments in integrated energy groups that were at least moving in the right direction.
The last time there was such a movement with a moral divestment was in the tobacco industry. That turned out to be more show than truth and it merely resulted in the entire sector being converted into value-orientated income stocks.
It appears that as the West seems to pretend it has a conscience, they seem to be selling to state-owned institutions that are owned by Russians, Chinese, or Middle Eastern entities. It is merely changing ownership, not actually shutting down the companies or changing the use the fossil fuels.
REPO Crisis

Re-Posted Nov 12, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION:
Martin,
I heard an interesting argument recently about the Fed injecting money into the repo market. This person said that Dodd-Frank allows the fed to inject money directly into the banking system as in the case of the repo market, and this makes another 2008 impossible because all of the risk is now transferred to the currency and basically there is nothing to worry about.
I am sure this is not true but it does make me wonder where the liquidity crisis will pop-up if the fed has the power to inject liquidity as it needs to at any time and in any amount necessary. I am guessing it has to do with the fact that we need to think globally and not domestically as you always say. I believe you mentioned in previous posts that the liquidity crisis may now be transferred to Europe as they have different banking/ECB laws.
Thank You,
Alex
ANSWER: That’s a nice theory, however, they have overlooked one major problem. The Fed cannot prop up the entire world. The liquidity crisis is unfolding in Europe — NOT the USA!!!! Banks no longer trust banks so they are placing it with the Fed rather than with other banks because nobody understands what is going on.
UPDATE: NOV. 8 MARKS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF CALIFORNIA’S DEADLIEST FIRE IN STATE HISTORY- THE CAMP FIRE
The United Nations is making progress with their various agendas.
For those of you who thought they could not possibly become a reality, we are now seeing it happen before our very eyes. Oh sure, they frame things such as Agenda 30 in positive terms. They state they’re out to make humanity more peaceful and prosperous by the implementation of ‘sustainable’ things to protect the planet. In reality, the satanic illuminati who are running the show are protecting THEIR planet for THEMSELVES. They already own everything important and we pesky humans who aren’t in their club must be dealt with and they’re doing that now—especially in California by means of climate engineering, stripping away liberty by means of every-growing government regulation, high taxes, and of course controlling energy.
The elite want a cashless society so they can control our funds. Those who step out of line won’t be able to buy food or pay for rent. They want complete government control of our health. What Elizabeth Warren wants will be the completion of still yet another Communist plank. It’s not free stuff, it’s more government control over our very bodies.
They want to control where we live. Permits are required for generators. Now they can cut off power whenever they want to, and they want us to become accustomed to privation. At the same time they want electric cars and a Green New Deal. “You’d better obey or we’ll turn off your power!” For those at the very top, they will obtain easier control if they can force people into cities, while they complete the wilding of future no-go zones in the country. This is all part of the UN’s plan and it’s happening.
They’re showing us who is boss in California, and it’s not We The People.
It’s time to stand up and stop participating in our own slavery. It’s especially important not to give up our guns.

Final Solution to Climate Change: 11,000 Climate “Experts” Demand Depopulation
Mickey Mouse Climate Change Scientist Says We Need To Reduce Population
Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate
Re-Posted Nov 8, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
Amazingly, among the list of 11,000 climate experts includes Mickey Mouse from the Mickey Mouse Institute For the Blind. No one in the press bothered to verify such a claim despite 11,000 scientists claiming to have signed something that no legitimate scientist would EVER ascribe to. This outrageous paper claimed to be supported by 11,000 scientists states:
The solution is replacing fossil fuels, reduce methane gas, eating less meat, restoring ecosystems, outlawing a carbon-based economy, reducing population growth, and educating girls not to have children.
It is curious that the very same goal of reducing the population began during the environmental movement for wetlands. It is clear that these people believe in reducing the population, but their arguments will impact ONLY the industrial world so the population will continue to grow in Africa, Asia, and South America. The third world sees this as the oppression that they should not now develop. Why don’t they pass a law making it illegal to heat your home or use air conditioning? Would they also be in favor of pulling the plug on hospitals for consuming electricity to save lives they think should be terminated provided it is not theirs?
Germany Vows to Close its Coal Plants in 19 years
Armstrong Economics Blog/Germany
Re-Posted Nov 7, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
Germany is one of the world’s biggest consumers of coal. After the Japanese nuclear power plant disaster, Germany announced it would not use nuclear power back in 2012. It has remained one of the world’s biggest producers of electricity from coal. It has now announced that it will shut down all 84 of its coal-fired power plants over the next 19 years in this religious effort to meet its international commitments in the fight against climate change. They claim that they will use alternative means of producing electricity. The fact that they promise something 19 years into the future is good press now, but in all reality, as the economy gets worse, the likelihood of this being put into real action is not very high. Economics will win the day in the end. We do not have 19 years before the economy will look very different.

SHUT UP AND START PADDLING TO SPAIN GRETA!
You can’t make this up! As the Trump Administration begins the official withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, our favorite green scold, Greta, has problems of her own.
Chile’s government has canceled the United Nations’ climate change summit because of unrest in the country and moved the summit to Madrid, Spain.
Greta’s problem is those “green” trains that run across the oceans haven’t been built yet! What’s a 16 year old Soros backed climate activist to do? Carbon spewing jets are out and so are the passenger ships. Maybe she needs someone to loan her a paddle and a canoe?
Thank you Greta for showing the world how unfeasible and ridiculous your climate change agenda is!
Mankind has always advanced human society with science making everyone’s lives better. The cult of self-loathing, human hating Greenies want us all going backwards, living in straw huts, eating grass, and walking everywhere.
I have to give Greta props for talking the talk and walking the walk, unlike Climate Hoax hero Al Gore or Barrack Obama, both living very well and very carbony in large waterfront estates and flying private jets.
You won’t see Al Gore chewing on a dry spongy “Impossible Burger” no way!
How Dare You!

Negative Interest Rates is the Way to Kill a Reserve Currency
Armstrong Economics Blog/Euro €
Posted Nov 6, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
Christine Lagarde said back in August that the European Central Bank still had room to cut rates if needed. However, she added that this could pose a challenge to financial stability in Europe. More and more banks are passing on the negative interest rates to depositors and this is undermining the elderly and pensions. From a broader view, this policy of negative interest rates has undermined the euro even as a reserve currency. Nobody wants it in their books. It is like it has the plague. I cannot express how serious this policy of negative interest rates has been. It has been the cure to eliminate the euro as a reserve currency. If the US wants to kill the dollar, just adopt negative interest rates and watch how it plummets.
I believe you may see Lagarde try to unravel this mess created by Draghi.
