The Confusion over Quantitative Easing


Posted originally on Aug 1, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

QE MMT

There has been so much disinformation and sensationalizing of Quantitative Easing that this has led to academic economists who lack any trading experience to propose Modern Monetary Theory for its seems nobody actually comprehends what the hell is really going on. Much of the problem stems from this ancient theory that if you increase the quantity of money, then inflation will follow. This all predates massive government debt.

Henry VIII Debased Groats

Much of this Quantity Theory of Money has its origins in Sir Thomas Gresham (1518-1579), who represented the English Crown on the Amsterdam exchange. People would not lend money to England because Henry VIII was debasing the currency to be able to repay his loans. He confiscated the Catholic Church and started the Church of England all because he was broke and confiscated wealth from the Catholic Church in England. Gresham became an adviser to Henry VIII’s successor – Elizabeth I. Thus, Gresham’s Law became bad money drives out good money, or the undebased currency.

Debt Hole Cannor Climb Out

These theories, which even gave rise to Austrian Economics, were all pre-collateralized debt of governments. There was no such market for posting sovereign debt as collateral to borrow or trade in markets. The economic models all changed, but academics have never understood traders. Lacking that experience, you will never see the actual trends.

Gresham and Law

Where Gresham observes from trading that debasing the money caused higher quality money to be hoarded when the foreign exchange value between currencies was ENTIRELY based upon the metal content, John Law (1671-1729) was also a trader on the same floor of the Amsterdam Bourse. He observed what has become the theory of Supply and Demand. It took two traders to witness how the market moved to develop these ideas. Both men were self-taught since the field of Economics did not begin until 1902. Not even John Maynard Keynes nor Adam Smith held decrees in economics.

Ricardo David C

The other self-taught economist who was also a trader was none other than David Ricardo. At the tender age of just fourteen, David entered his father’s business, but in 1793, he set up his own operation and made a fortune as a trader on the London Stock Exchange. Ricardo’s most important work was Principles of Political Economy and Taxation (1817). This book deals with all the controversial questions of political economy at the time: value theory, economic growth, rent, etc.

His other works include The High Price of Bullion (1810), which was the origin of understanding deflation; David’s Essay on the Influence of a Low Price of Corn on the Profits of Stock (1815); Proposals for an Economical and Secure Currency (1816); and the Plan for a National Bank (1824).

David Ricardo First Edition

Ricardo is most famous for his ‘Theory of Comparative Advantage’ and ‘Rent’, which effectively argued that, for example, Saudi Arabia could grow lettuce in a desert with tones of water that might cost $10 to grow when it can buy it for 50 cents elsewhere. Thus, a nation should exploit what it possesses with a Comparative Advantage rather than squander its resources and restrict free trade.

confused

Quantitative Easing (QE) does not increase the Supply of Money—it is only a maturity swap. Today’s total money supply includes debt, unlike during the pre-19th century. This has erroneously given rise to Modern Monetary Theory, for they pointed to QE and said there was no inflation, so we could just print without repercussions. It was merely a swap of maturities when you finally realize that debt is now money that pays interest as paper money began during the Civil War.

When paper money stopped paying interest, the term “Greenback” emerged, meaning there was no interest payment schedule on the reverse, just green ink. Paper money began as essentially debt or bonds that circulated as cash.

Tucker Carlson Interviews Senator Mike Lee About Biden’s Forced Removal and Those Who Control DC


Posted originally on the CTH on July 31, 2024 | Sundance

In the first part of the interview with Mike Lee, Tucker Carlson asks his opinion of the Hersch research discussing how Barack Obama threatened Joe Biden into exiting from the 2024 campaign.  Obviously, this led to the installation of Kamala Harris as the nominee, which was the long game of those within the Obama network who still operate the control mechanisms in Washington DC.

As with all DC interviews of participants, keep in mind that Senator Lee operates within a bubble, a construct of intentionally created information “silos,” and as a result -just like all other participants in the industry of Deep State management- Mike Lee is somewhat limited by what he can see.  Voices like Senator Lee, stuck in the silo operations, do not generally have as much big picture information as ordinary Americans; he sees what is outside his window and that frames his reality.  WATCH:

Study: Canadians Experiencing Worst Standard of Living in 40 Years


Posted originally on Jul 31, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

The Fraser Institute conducted a study that found Canadians are experiencing the worst standard of living in the past 40 years. Conditions are beneath what was experienced during the 89 recession, the Great Recession, and even the early stages of the post-pandemic. What is going on in Canada?

Justin Trudeau uprooted Canada’s fiscal landscape and his policies have only further sunk Canada into a decline. I reported that household debt in Canada exceeds 100% of GDPGovernment spending toppled $1 trillion in 2020 in response to the pandemic, decreasing only 7.8% to $969.5 billion the following year. Government spending toppled C$520.17 billion during Q1 of 2024 alone. Justin Trudeau is aiming to turn Canada into a “BUILD BACK BETTER” nation that operates not like a true capitalist society but like the unelected government-driven economy we see in the European Union.

Canada’s immigration policy has become a free-for-all, with its population reaching an all-time high this year after surpassing 41 million. Nearly all population growth (99.3%; 240,955 people) was solely attributed to migrants arriving in Canada. The taxpayers are expected to subsidize the lives of migrants and turn a blind eye to the drastic uptick in crime. Canada was once a safe nation with a high-trust society. Crime has risen by over 40% and the entire landscape of Canadian society is changing. These people are often living in squalor and there are not enough housing units or jobs for all migrants, let alone all Canadians.

BUILD BACK BETTER
Build Back Better

Similar to the US, Justin Trudeau is boosting job postings by ramping up hiring in the public sector, which has grown by over 17% since 2019. For comparison, the private sector only grew by 4% during that same timeframe. The public sector simply does not add to the economy in any meaningful way. These tax-funded agencies simply multiply and deduct from overall GDP.

Similar to other Build Back Better nations, Canada has lost its edge in trade. The countless green initiatives have crippled entire sectors, and rising taxes have made it a less desirable place to conduct business. Canada experienced a 51.2% reduction in mining, oil, gas, and quarrying from 2014 to 2022, as one example. Business investments have decreased by a third under Trudeau, yet he continues to spend.

Build Back Better has failed. As the “Roadmap for a Renewed US-Canada Partnership” details:

‘“Building back better” represents a shared vision for a sustainable and inclusive economic recovery that strengthens the middle class, creates more opportunities for hard working people to join it, and ensures people have good jobs and careers on both sides of the border. Our leaders also recognized the opportunity for clean growth driven by workers, communities, businesses, and innovation.”

These government leaders are utter failures who are incapable of implementing meaningful policies. They destroyed the world economy under COVID and then sought to BUILD BACK BETTER. Instead, they’ve driven away smart money and business, fostered an environment for rising crime, and decreased everyone’s quality of life with inflationary policies. It is time for the voters to wake up and realize that the people they put into office are directly responsible for their deteriorating economic situations.

DEI the Hidden “REAL” Global Agenda

DEI Diversity Equality Inclusion
DEI Text

COMMENT: It’s akin to a multi-billion marketing campaign

I have family in

UK, Sydney, and Galway, Ireland

All are getting “diversity” pushed. It’s like a weapon now to prevent unity, common heritage against govt

I made these for friends. The end game of diversity?

There will be OLYMPIC teams in 30 years!

RL

REPLY:  The real purpose of this Diversity Equality Inclusion global marketing plan has NOTHING to do with caring about people. I think the racist label has greatly died down, for in our own company, we have every religion and race working together. Even this LGBQT movement disrespects everyone else and demands we change our pronouns, and it is offensive to them if we call our mother – “mother.” This excessive abuse creates discrimination when one group demands everyone else must change their actions that have no direct physical impact on them.

1844 Phila Nativism Riot Againt Irish

What made the United States the great melting pot and the largest economy in the world was DISCRIMINATION. It was fair, for whoever was the last off the boat was discriminated against until they learned English to get a job. There were violent incidences, like when the Irish came in during the Hard Times of the 1840s, that resurrected the old hatred of Catholics in Philadelphia by the English Protestants. However, the second generation all intermarried once they spoke the same language. Ask an American what they are; the typical response will be half Irish, half German – or whatever the combination might be.

This is George Soros’ Open Society agenda that neither respects human culture nor anything that makes us individuals. Like Garland, Blinkin, and Nuland, Soros immediately attacks any critic, calling them antisemitic rather than addressing the criticism. As the Atlantic wrote: “George Soros’s name has been used as an anti-Semitic, nationalist dog whistle.”

Popper Karl

Soro’s mentor is Karl Popper (1902-1994), who wrote several books, including “The Poverty of Historicism,” which Popper wrote in New Zealand during World War II. Popper became fixated with this notion of destiny pushed by Hitler and others throughout history. In his “The Open Society and its Enemies,” he writes: “Historicism, which I have so far characterized only in a rather abstract way, can be well illustrated by one of the simplest and oldest of its forms, the doctrine of the chosen people.” Poper describes this “historicism” as follows:

It is widely believed that a truly scientific or philosophical
attitude towards politics, and a deeper understanding of social life
in general, must be based upon a contemplation and interpretation
of human history. While the ordinary man takes the setting of his
life and the importance of his personal experiences and petty
struggles for granted, it is said that the social scientist or
philosopher has to survey things from a higher plane. He sees the
individual as a pawn, as a somewhat insignificant instrument in the
general development of mankind. And he finds that the really
important actors on the Stage of History are either the Great
Nations and their Great Leaders, or perhaps the Great Classes, or
the Great Ideas. However this may be, he will try to understand the
meaning of the play which is performed on the Historical Stage; he
will try to understand the laws of historical development. If he
succeeds in this, he will, of course, be able to predict future
developments. He might then put politics upon a solid basis, and
give us practical advice by telling us which political actions are
likely to succeed or likely to fail.

Popper became caught up in these claims of destiny, which blinded him to the actual driving forces behind society throughout the centuries and why kingdoms, empires, nations, and city-states always rise from nothing, reach a climax, and then disintegrate to dust, only to be buried in a common grave dug by history. In Edward Gibbon’s (1737-1794) Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776), his final chapter tells us about two attendants to Pope Eugenius IV (1431-1447) who are sitting on top of the Capitoline Hill in Rome overlooking the Roman Forum. Poggius then comments upon the vicissitudes of fortune, which spares nothing and nobody while it buries empires, nations, and city-states in a common grave.

“Her primeval state, such as she -might–appear in a remote age, when Evander entertained the stranger of Troy, has been delineated by the fancy of Virgil. This Tarpeian rock was then a savage and solitary thicket; in the time of the poet, it was crowned with the golden roofs of a temple, the temple is overthrown, the gold has been pillaged, the wheel of Fortune has accomplished her revolution, and the sacred ground is again disfigured with thorns and brambles. The hill of the Capitol, on which we sit, was formerly the head of the Roman Empire, the citadel of the earth, the terror of kings; illustrated by the footsteps of so many triumphs, enriched with the spoils and tributes of so many nations. This spectacle of the world, how is it fallen! how changed! how defaced! The path of victory is obliterated by vines, and the benches of the senators are concealed by a dunghill. Cast your eyes on the Palatine hill, and seek among the shapeless and enormous fragments the marble theatre, the obelisks, the colossal statues, the porticos of Nero’s palace: survey the other hills of the city, the vacant space is interrupted only by ruins and gardens. The forum of the Roman people where they assembled to enact their laws and elect their magistrates, is now enclosed for the cultivation of pot-herbs, or thrown open for the reception of swine and buffaloes. The public and private edifices that were founded for eternity lie prostrate, naked, and broken, like the limbs of a mighty giant, and the ruin is the more visible from the stupendous relics that have survived the injuries of time and fortune.”

German 1918 Revolution
1922 Forced Loan

Popper rejected cycles because he was focused on these claims of destiny. That may have been the rhetoric of Hitler, but you do not focus your entire theory on trying to disprove such a claim. In the process, Popper never sought actually to identify why; no matter what form of government emerges, they are all buried in a common grave. Chancellor Merkel of Germany pushed economic theories based on the German false assumption that the hyperinflation took place BECAUSE of the printing of money when, in fact, it was the printing of money that was the response to the collapse in confidence of the Weimar Republic.

The Weimar Republic was born of the 1918 German Communist Revolution, during which the German communists even invited Russia to take Germany as part of their Communist Revolution in 1917. These Germans wanted to be part of this Marxist dream. Anyone in the right mind moves whatever wealth they have to other currencies. Then, in December 1922, the Weimar Government confiscated 10% of whatever assets you had in the bank to pay the reparation payments for losing the war.

This German distortion of historical events has poisoned the German economy ever since. It was the very reason why Hitler rose to power for the oppressive of the reparation payments that even Hohn Maynard Keynes warned was detrimental. However, the French had made reparation payments to Germany back in the 19th century, so they wanted retribution in the 20th century.

Gibbon 5
Hobbes 3

Even The Lyviathan by Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was deeply influenced by the English Civil War and the beheading of the King. In his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) was also deeply influenced by the English Civil War between Protestants and Catholics. Consequently, he includes chapters on the rise of Islam and Christianity and attributes much of the cause behind the fall to religion and discord only because he saw that in Britain.

Ptolemy II Arsinoe II AU

I find it very damaging when someone seeks to critique history based on current trends applied to different times. I have written before how William Penn named his city of Philadelphia based on the translation of the word “Philadelphos,” meaning “brotherly love.” That was not in a Christian sense; it referred to incest, where one married their sister, typically to keep the family wealth contained in the family. This was common in Egypt as well as Syria. This is my point. When looking at history, we MUST review it within the context of that period and NEVER apply our current experiences to their lack of understanding of their thinking and motives.

This was Popper’s great mistake in focusing on this claim of destiny, which was really a great sales slogan rather than a true economic trend. Popper may have wanted to improve the methods of the social sciences to promote peace, freedom, and prosperity, emulating the function of the natural sciences and technology to increase the earth’s productive capacity. However, his book’s central theme is his critique of the myth of historical destiny and historical determinism, that is, the idea that history is beyond human control.

Menger Carl

There have been those who have recognized that the individual plays a key role, and this idea of government possessing the power to manipulate society, championed by Marx and Keynes, remains the very core of understanding the true nature of the economy. Carl Menger (1840-1921) is the founding father of the Austrian School of Economics, with his landmark “Principles of Economics,” published in 1871. There, Menger laid the intellectual framework for the subsequent Austrian scholars who followed him.

One of the book’s main themes is that the value of a good is not determined by factors that can be objectively determined (e.g., labor or material costs) but by subjective valuations of the object in question by individuals. As I explained to China when I was invited to help them transition to Capitalism, they were monitoring 249 varieties of tea. The question was, why is this one tea selling for about $5 in one place but $1 in another? I asked where its origin was, and that is where it happened to be $1. I elaborated that there were transportation costs first and secondly that someone would pay more for one tea than another because of personal preference.

Jevons Stanley

In this sense, Carl Menger, Leon Walras, and William Stanley Jevons saw that economics has a human element that goes beyond supply and demand.  ‘Marginalist Revolution’ with Menger and Jevons was added to with elements by Walras, who proposed that the commodities’ relative marginal utilities determined relative prices of commodities and thus explained the discrepancy in the value of goods and services by reference to their secondary, or marginal, utility.

Supply Demand

It was John Law (1671-1729), who was the father of the Supply and Demand theory he observed as a trader on the floor of the Amsterdam Bourse. However, Popper grossly overlooked the individual and that we are raised in a particular culture that forms our fundamental beliefs. You cannot have open borders and assume that everyone will assimilate into some homogenous society. Such a transition period of forced assimilation is highly violent and destructive.

Valens 1.5 Siliqua Head Left

Emperor Valens (364-378AD) allowed the Goths to cross the border, assuming that he could exploit them to build his army. They were trained in Roman tactics and then turned on the Emperor from inside the Roman Empire. Valens met his death on August 9th, 378 AD, in one of the greatest military catastrophes ever suffered by the Roman Legions – the Battle of Aadrianopolis. In this fateful battle to the death with the Goths, the legions of Rome were totally annihilated. The devastation and carnage was so vast that the body of the Emperor Valens was never recovered. This battle was one of the worst defeats Rome had ever suffered. Before, No one had ever destroyed the mighty legions of the Roman army while under the command of an Emperor himself. 

So much for Soros & Popper’s Theory of an Open Society

It is not antisemitic to criticize this theory.

Supreme Court Term Limits?


Posted Jul 29, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Alaska Supreme Court

Joe Biden declared that implementing term limits would be one of his last acts before vanishing from Washington. No, he is not demanding that Congress heed to term limits. Biden himself is a career politician who profited from a lifetime of rubbing elbows with the establishment at the expense of the people. He would not dare to implement laws that would hurt his remaining allies in Washington. The real reason that the establishment want justices to have term limits is because they fear a Trump majority SCOTUS.

The Supreme Court of the United States was created over 233 years ago in 1789 and there have been 116 serving Justices. Justices are appointed for life, with the average Justice serving for around 16 years. Cyclically, a new judge enters the SCOTUS every two to three years.

“The next president is likely to have two new Supreme Court nominees. Two more. He’s already appointed two that have been very negative in terms of rights of individuals,” Biden commented. Trump named three justices during his term – Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanagh and Amy Coney Barrett – cementing the conservative majority on the bench.”

Supreme Court v Congress

The Democrats are using abortion, Roe v. Wade, as their reasoning behind abolishing the current structure of the highest court. These politicians do not care about human rights. They are angered that the SCOTUS has ruled against the establishment time and time again. The court denied the establishment the opportunity to force Trump off the ballot. Even the liberal Justices unanimously agreed that states do not have the authority to enforce Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.

The Supreme Court has overturned Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, which permitted government agencies to implement the rule of law, bypassing the federal judicial system. Absolutely every facet of American life is partially controlled by unelected government agencies who need not abide by a uniform rule of law before implementing regulations. Revoking the Chevron doctrine took away tools of the deep state such as forcing the EPA to carry out climate imitative or permitting the FDA to advocate government-approved COVID-19 treatments. Even the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has lost power in controlling America’s financial markets as a result of this ruling.

There is no place for constitutional law in an increasingly tyrannical justice system.

Biden could only implement term limits through an amendment to the Constitution itself or pushing legislation through congress. A proposed constitutional amendment must receive two-thirds of support by state legislations. Thirty-eight of the 50 members must agree to ratification. This option would leave less room for interpretation or continued legal review.

The second method would be implementing legislation through Congress, and it would be of no surprise if a bill is currently being drafted. The House and Senate would need to agree on such term limits without overtly abandoning Article III of the Constitution that outlines the power of the judicial branch.

All politicians should have term limits to prevent careers that lead to corruption and tyranny. The American justice system was based upon the Roman Republic, which collapsed because of pervasive internal corruption by career politicians. A Roman dictator was a magistrate of the Roman Republic, to whom they entrusted the full authority of the state to deal with some emergency or to undertake a specific duty. Every other magistrate was subordinate to his rule. Even the right of the plebeian tribunes, which no one could touch and had the power to charge politicians, could not veto his actions, and any right to appeal was extremely limited. We see a similar aspect in the US Congress because each side will oppose the other to deprive them of any credit. However, at least a dictator could not be bribed.

A Roman dictation could never roam freely and charge people with crimes outside of his appointed purpose. We see special prosecutors like Mueller violate his authority in this manner. Additionally, a Roman dictator was obligated to resign his office once his appointed task had been completed.

If the SCOTUS faces term limits, then all public officials should be held to the same standard. We are watching the likes of Joe Biden preferring to waste away in office than to step down. We witness them profiting through insider trading, and even the “big man” in the highest office was coerced into bringing the entire nation into a war to protect his special interests. The power to indict must be taken away from the Department of Justice and that decision should be also presented to a panel of independent lawyers who make that decision, not a prosecutor. There should also be no prosecutorial immunity. America must be restored to a system that is FOR THE PEOPLE.

It All Tracks – Hersch Reports Barack Obama Threatened Biden with 25th Amendment Removal


Posted originally on the CTH on July 28, 2024 | Sundance 

In popular lingo young people simply say, “that tracks.”  It’s a quick way of saying, new information makes sense with pre-existing information.

Investigative journalist Seymour Hersch writes on his substack [SEE HERE], an article outlying how his sources in Washington DC and the White House have confirmed to him that former President Barack Obama was the impetus to push Joe Biden out of the 2024 presidential race.

Seymour Hersh says President Obama was “deeply involved” with the alleged coup and called Joe Biden after his “incident” in Las Vegas, which, from all outward appearances, looks like a major slip and fall – with a significant hit to the head.

“I went over [reports] this week with a senior official in Washington who helped me fashion an account of a White House in complete disarray,” Hersh said.

“Obama called Biden after breakfast [on July 20] and said, ‘Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment,’” a senior Washington official told Hersh. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries were reportedly directly involved.

Obama’s plan was to not to immediately endorse Kamala, but it was clear that she would “get the nod.” “[Obama] had an agenda and he wanted to seek it through to the end, and he wanted to have control over who would be elected.” (Hersch article encapsulated)

Not only does this outline track with every datapoint known about events leading up to the Biden announcement, it also aligns with the entire background of the Obama team operating inside the Biden administration.  Team Obama have always been in control.  Heck, the Obamas never even left Washington DC after their term in office.

The bigger understanding is in the final quote cited.  “[Team Obama] had an agenda and he wanted to seek it through to the end, and he wanted to have control over who would be elected.”  This is the part where people forget the risk to Team Obama that has never gone away.

The Obama “fundamental change” was a construct of malicious intent.  Much of it fraught with unlawful activity only possible by weaponizing the various agencies and bureaus of the U.S. government.  Going all the way back to 2007 through 2017, that decade is filled with unlawful action by Barack Obama and the people behind him.  This is the core of their ongoing need for control, likely for a generation or more.

President Obama and his likeminded ideological foot-soldiers weaponized the federal system of government.  In every action from the moment he left office, Obama’s team have been working one long continuum of control in order to keep all of their prior activity hidden.  The need for Kamala ‘brat’ Harris is simply another step in this long process to hide the activity.

The NSA Database was weaponized to conduct political surveillance.

The Dept of Justice was weaponized to target their political opposition.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was weaponized to act as the police investigative units for those targets.

The Dept of Homeland Security was weaponized to control the evidence and information about their political targeting and surveillance.

The IRS was weaponized against Obama’s political opposition.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence was weaponized to allow the targeting radar to sweep internally against American citizens under the guise of national security and domestic terror threats.

The Central Intelligence Agency was weaponized allowing and permitting their “foreign surveillance” mandate to merge with the DHS internal surveillance mandate, while simultaneously the CIA conducted overseas political operations against the interests of sovereign countries.  All of their activity in ideological alignment.

The Defense Department was purged of patriotism, intentionally weakened through diversity equity and inclusion, and then boiled down to a flag corps of general willing to go along with the policy of Obama.

Main Justice through the National Security Division used FARA violations to target anyone who was determined a threat to the fundamental change, and Main Justice began wholesale Lawfare operations against Donald Trump and any entity who would dare align with him.

Hundreds of millions, likely billions, were funneled through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, The Green New Deal, The Inflation Reduction Act, and various legislative expenditures to foreign governments; those funds went directly into the bank accounts of Democrat donors and political activist groups.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, the part the awakened American public can look into and see for themselves. Underneath the waterline, there’s tens of thousands of vested interests, inside and outside of Washington DC, operating to maintain the fundamental change that Obama created.  However, their defenses are weak and shallow, fraught with vulnerability and the endless need to avoid sunlight.

All of that scheming, rot, corruption and unlawful activity makes them vulnerable.  The need for control is a reaction to fear.  The ‘fundamental change’ group are fraught with fear.  That is why they consider the current political landscape as a zero-sum contest.

It tracks, it all tracks.

The Lights Went Out in Paris


Posted originally on the CTH on July 28, 2024 | Sundance 

After a vile, degenerate and blasphemous opening ceremony to the Olympics in Paris France, on the first day of competition the region suffered a total power failure.

Well, almost a total power failure.

You see, in the top of the picture showing the blackout, you might notice one area completely unaffected. That is the Sacre Coeur Church, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

.

A loving God will not be mocked. The light of Jesus Christ can’t be overcome by the darkness of man.

Our faith is steadfast. God is in control.

I find myself with tears.

I cherish the message.

.

Additionally, always remember….

…. The need for control is a reaction to fear!

Demons fear the light.

Evil is dependent on whispers and dark imaginings.

When you shine the light upon them, they will always retreat.

Steadfast.  Love to all.

The Trust in Government is Collapsing – Is Anything Real Anymore?


Posted Jul 28, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 
2032 Date

As we head into the end of this cycle in 2032, this process concerns the collapse of Republican forms of government. We are rapidly approaching the collapse of Republican forms of government on a global scale, and I believe that this has become far more obvious since the COVID-19 scam. Even in Germany, friends think that something has seriously changed. We are dealing with the collapse of complete confidence and belief in the government itself, regardless of where it is on a global scale. This video is interesting, and it calls into question the tactics used by the government. The West always claims Putin has a double. Is the pot calling the kettle black?

Let us see what unfolds in the weeks ahead. The rumor is Biden will grant all illegals citizenship so they can change the politics of the country by creating a Democrat Progressive Dictatorship with one-party rule. Then, Biden will resign by September and let Harris become president to show the world she can do the job. In reality, she is just replacing a hand puppet and letting the Neocons continue to run our lives unimpeded as Blinkin and Garland, along with Nuland, use their Jewish heritage to fend off any criticism of their manipulations of society and thirst for war as just antisemitism.

Trump Putin Puppet

They want NATO to create a false flag before the election to start a war against Russia. NATO will be beyond any congressional investigation – the perfect cover to start World War III. Haliburton moved to Dubai to escape scrutiny over the Gulf War. They will take Trump’s anti-war stance once again and call him Putin’s Puppet. Let’s see if they pull off this agenda. Our computer warns NOBODY WILL ACCEPT THIS ELECTION regardless of who wins.

Paine Common Sense
End of Paine
1 ECM 1882 1929 1934

We will have to go through this until the majority of people simply reach the conclusion that there is no trust left in those who wish to preside over us. The last collapse in government worldwide was all about monarchy. Nobody put it better than Thomas Paine (1737-1809) in his publication Common Sense. That was the inspiration that stirred the people to action. This is just part of the progress we see cyclically throughout human history. It is the political version of Schupeter’s Wave of Creative Destruction.  The British even issued political tokens picturing the hanging of Paine.

Here is the last Private Wave #155 (1882.45-1934.05).  We can see that a number of financial panics began during the third wave. That corresponded to the Panic of 2007-2009, which some call the Great Recession. The Fourth Wave marked the beginning of the Progressive Era in 1912, and that corresponded with the peak in government we saw in 2015.75. Instead of socialism, Trump was sworn in precisely on the Pi target to the very day, representing the opposite of the 1912 Progressive era. Would War I follow as we now see our world leaders are all pushing for World War III so they can (1) default on their debts and (2) hope to strip-mine Russia of all its natural wealth and resources? This previous wave peaked in 1929 and began the Great Depression, ending with Socialism and FDR confiscating gold. Hitler came to power precisely on the Pi Target from the to in, and there was a worldwide sweep of whoever was in power thrown out, marking the rise of FDR, Hitler, and Mao.

As in Physics, every action causes an equal and opposite reaction. Until we learn to live with the cycles and stop trying to manipulate society to create this fictional perfect world that cannot exist, as was the case with Communism, then perhaps, like a dog, we will one day shake off this political manipulation and just for once advance as a society.

Marx ten commandments socialism

Communism was tried in ancient Sparta, Greece. As I have said before, this city-state never issued coins. Yet they waged war against Athens and defeated the land of freedom and democracy in 404 BC. Karl Marx drew much on this segment of history, including the writings of Aristotle. Even Joseph and the Pharoach’s Biblical story is a blueprint for living with the cycles.

Joseph Interprets Pharaoh

I see the world as the Biblical story of Joseph telling the Pharaoh there will be seven years of plenty and seven years of drought. This story attempts to tell us that there is a business cycle, and we better live with it. If you know when the cycle will turn down, you then prepare to live with it and reduce its impact on society.

Keynes Marx Interventionists

Both Keynes and Marx pushed the theory that the government possessed the power to alter the direction of the economy. Neither man understood the complexity of the global economy and how we are all interconnected. If it were not for World War I and II, the capital would never have shifted from Europe to America, replacing London as the Financial Capital of the World.

MAA on War

Even when we look at war, this has plagued human society for thousands of years. War comes when economic distress is set in motion just as the Barbarians smelly weakness in Rime and then struck. Some sought to wage wars of conquest. However, once an empire has risen to its maximum state, then the political corruption internally eats away at it like a cancer from within. Thus, all empires, nations, and city-states are buried in a common grave because, as a collective society, we seem to be incapable of learning from the past mistakes of others, and inevitably, that ensures that history will always repeat itself. It would be fantastic if we actually advanced as a society politically, rather than just technologically.
