Depiction of the story of the Trojan horse in the art of Gandhara. British Museum.
Sometimes, there is a tendency in any group to believe that they are smarter than those outside their group. This is not confined to any particular group. The classic example was that in archeology. The academics swore that Homer was fantasy being stories for children. There never was Troy or a horse. But that all was proven wrong when Heinrich Schliemann (1822 – 1890), who was a German businessman, discovered everything the academics said did not exist. Even sculptures have been discovered showing the Trojan Horse. Schliemann believed in Homer’s Iliad and Virgil’s Aeneid’s historical accuracy and told stories that reflected actual historical events. Today, they would have called it a conspiracy theory not worthy of investigation.
The academics led by Klaus Schwab have once again created a fictional world in their mind and have convinced others that we must destroy everything and rebuild the world to function the way they think it should operate. The problem is the small detail that the world economy is like a complex rainforest. There are countless interconnected species, so you eliminate one, and it ripples through the entire rainforest. This is what they do not understand about the economy. It is Smith’s Invisible Hand that everyone acting in their own self-interest creates a society that functions.
People like Schwab look down upon us the great unwashed and believe they are God because they do not believe in God and assume they can not only create a new economy, they can create biological improvements perhaps in their own desperate attempt to find immortality.
I cannot stress enough that these people I have warned who have been part of the “Club” do not believe in God. They have no regard for humanity. It has always been hard for me to get my head around such arrogance. While they do not believe in God, they also seem to think that they are immortal and infallible.
Despite such an all-out effort to force people to get vaccinated or you lose your job and cannot travel seems to be more for control just as in the Communist world. You were not allowed to move from one place to another without permission. I saw this with my own eyes when I went behind the Berlin Wall. Besides the vaccines not working with the Israeli government reporting that the Pfizer vaccine is only 39% effective, the real issue here is to stop the freedom of movement to establish a new form of government that is a new totalitarian state. Even the common cold has been found to help fight COVID because it is also a respiratory virus. We have censorship gone mad. Facebook banned a gardening forum because they discussed which “hoe” is better and interpreted that as prostitute slang.
COVID seems to be the modern version of the Trojan Horse. They roll it into society and we think they care about us and then you wake up and realize these people only seek control and care nothing about humanity nor do they believe in God.
Food shortages are again starting to appear. But the new round of restrictions because of COVID variants is sending the world into an economic tailspin. Even in Thailand, the food lines are massive as the new restrictions because of COVID have led to the failure of small businesses and the inability of people to work to earn any money for food. In the name of “health”, they have terrorized the world and are accomplishing their goal of collapsing free markets and capitalism.
We are the great unwashed – expendable and the sooner the herd is thinned, the sooner they will save the planet. Capitalism is under assault like never before. How many people died frightening to preserve our freedoms. My family has fought in every war since the American Revolution. They should just dig up all the graves at Arlington and turn them into fertilizer for they have no respect for what people died for.
Not even the media is willing to defend our way of life no less than of their own families.
The word on the street is those who have organized this entire pandemic for political change are getting nervous about the size of the resistance that is emerging. They think that the time is right now to score a victory BEFORE the people figure out that COVID will not be defeated and 100% vaccination will not prevent this pandemic from becoming an EPIDEMIC. This lab rat is mutating faster than they ever expected. It is a CORONAVIRUS that has never been cured in any forum because it is a respiratory virus that can also infect animals. Therefore, we will NEVER achieve herd immunity and the latest variations in South America are already vaccine-resistant. By the time we see 2022, this manmade virus may become the disease our computer has been projecting for these past years.
September we warned was the start of a Dark Period. There were critical elections going to take place and now Trudeau has committed Canada to a sudden election on September 20th. Trudeau has been ahead in the polls and he hopes to with a 33% stake which is in the same neighborhood as the number that cited for Hitler. In a Parliamentary system with multiple parties, someone with just 31% can take the country. In the case of Hitler, that 31% led to World War II. So here we will add CANADA to the September election nightmare for the 20th. Nevertheless, as you can see, the Liberal Party of Canada has been declining for 72 years. Indeed, 2021 is an important year for Canada.

The U.S. Census Department releases retail sales data today showing a strong contraction in consumer spending for July [MSM LINK]. The out-of-touch financial pundits were looking for a 0.3% decline; however, the drop was four times greater with a contraction of 1.1% in spending.
“The slide in retail sales comes after Friday’s preliminary consumer sentiment report from the University of Michigan showed one of the largest drops on record, leading some strategists and economists to warn of downside risk to the sales data.” (link)
This should not be unexpected for those who read here. Massive price inflation on essential goods is eating up wages. Food, fuel and energy price increases are changing consumer spending habits. Non-essential purchases have stopped….. they haven’t slowed, they have stopped. ←Emphasize this because it is not showing up yet in the data lag.
The data reflects that auto sales were the primary contributor to the decline in spending (-4.3%). This should make sense to people because auto purchases are the largest general consumer purchase outside of home purchasing.
When purchase decisions are made by families; and food and fuel prices are skyrocketing; replacing a vehicle is not essential. Auto sales are a key indicator of consumer confidence and income.
Overall inflation is the primary driver. Real wages are declining (wages – inflation), and disposable income is dropping quickly. Americans need to start talking very deliberately about what is about to happen. CTH predicted this and has been walking through the visible outcomes as each set of new data surfaces {SEARCH BOX}. Nothing happening right now is unforeseen or not easily understandable.
There is a cascading effect that happens within the economy. Income shrinks, then spending shrinks, then employment shrinks and work hours reduce. It is an unavoidable outcome inside the middle-class economy.
Two-thirds of our national economy (GDP) is dependent on middle-class consumer spending. Any impact to that spending cornerstone triggers downstream consequences. Large ticket items (like cars) are the first to drop. [Car sales have declined 10.4% from their peak in April.] Luxury goods in general come next.
Wage-earners, families around the table, husbands and wives, start making decisions on finances based on income outlays. The roof over your head is the priority; then comes food, and the prices are rising; then gasoline, and again rising prices; finally facilitating expenses for work and school.
I said in June, at a macro level home prices had reached their peak (last two weeks of May, first two weeks of June was apex). Obviously, there are some geographic home value increases still happening as COVID related regional issues and work opportunities are shifting populations. There is also a lag and ripple effect that takes time to work through the economy. The macro-apex will not be visible until next year.
People go where the work is, and the work is in the freedom zones (red states/regions). Population shifts keep some area home prices increasing. However, on a national macro-level the apex has been reached. People cannot afford higher mortgage payments and simultaneously deal with massive inflation on essential purchases.
Economic pressure works to the benefit of the command and control authority who wish to force vaccinations upon people. The fear of losing a job becomes more of an issue for people when income security is threatened and they see food prices rising so quickly. It is unnerving, unsettling and for paycheck-to-paycheck families extremely stressful. This creates leverage for corporations to require vaccinations for employment. I wish I had the answers; alas, I do not.
Bottom line is… Depending on your personal situation, prepare yourself now for prices to continue rising on both consumable and durable goods. In the longer term, specifically due to a lack of purchasing, durable good prices will level and eventually drop. Less people buying stuff makes prices drop as competition triggers and businesses selling durable goods look to survive. Unfortunately at that point we are usually headed to a recession.
The downside for a drop in durable good purchasing is the workforce behind the manufacturing, distribution and sale of those goods are at risk of losing employment. Again, a natural outcome. For the auto-industry, and heavy industrial manufacturing, this is the time of year when retooling is taking place and some manufacturing and production lines are closed. However, when they return to production those companies might be shocked to find fewer purchase orders for the goods they produce.
Employment is currently stable (especially in the freedom zones); but we should watch for continued signs of consumer spending contraction. Any employment contraction will be made worse by the millions of illegal aliens now purposefully permitted to enter our nation.
Keep in mind, the Federal Government is pumping money into their command and control economy. This short-sighted (I would say purposeful and ideological) monetary and economic policy is contributing to massive inflation.
Inflation puts pressure on incomes and savings…. which puts demands on government to support income losses…. which leads to govt pumping more money. This is the dependency and welfare cycle that seems intentionally being deployed by Biden and the socialists behind him.
FORBES – “Consumers spent less last month than economists had expected, buying fewer things online and holding off on car purchases, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday morning, following Friday’s report of “a stunning loss of confidence”
[…]Consumers spent 1.1% less in July than June, more than the 0.3% decline economists cited by MarketWatch had been expecting, after increasing 0.7% the previous month. The decline was driven by the lack of motor vehicle sales, which fell 4.3%. Nonstore retailers, which includes online shopping, fell 3.1%” (link)
While Lindell has focused on China. he totally ignored the implications of the World Economic Forum and Gates. China may have indeed wanted Biden in as President – no doubt. But all my sources point to COVID coming from a private source that is moving to create a one-world government using the United Nations. China may be a nice diversion and a cover story for the movers & shakers in Switzerland, but we have to broaden this scope and not just focus on Chinese ownership of stock.
COMMENT: Hello Mr Armstrong, In regards to your comments on “The-Real-Agenda-Reply”, I’d like to make a remark to where you said that Russia and China will defend their people; I wish that your statement were true but unfortunately, looking at their vaccine policies, either country seems to have the least interest taking up defence for their people. I have many close contacts in China and it is hell bent on vaccinating everyone right down the adolescent, with regionally mandating vaccinations or else… Regarding China and Russia not wanting to join the UN is just charades, for if they officially would, there would be no common enemy for the west or the Middle East for that matter. All governments work together, for I do not believe that China would be so “clumsy” to let Gates, Fauci or whoever leak a virus on their turf without knowing it and, if they truly care, would let this “deliberate slip up” pass… This is my 2 cents on the subject. Thank you for your terrific blog and all you do. God bless you. SR
REPLY: Don’t misunderstand me. I am not talking about nation-states that will put their people first. They will NOT surrender their power to this United Nations/WEF Cabal. My statement of thanking God for China and Russia is only in the context that they will stand up against other equally dangerous forces. Here we have Fauci saying he is not concerned about our LIBERTY and then he appears in a video of the World Economic Forum claiming that “inequality” is our #1 problem – not COVID.
BOARD MEMBERS OF WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM
Leyen resigned to take charge of EU so it didn’t look so conspiratorial
The World Economic Forum has all the key players in its pocket. This BUILD-BACK-BETTER slogan was created by the WEF and it was rolled out at the Davos meeting in January 2019. John Kerry said at DAVOS – ‘Normal wasn’t working.’ Even Gates bought BioNTech in September 2019 two months before the global assault with COVID which is like the Flu and there is NO VACCINE that will ever eradicate COVID. If you ever paid attention in health class, you would have learned that Smallpox could be eradicated BECAUSE it was not from animals. Any virus that is in animals provides the reservoir needed for it to always return. COVID has been found in 40% of the deer population so there will NEVER be an end to COVID. Because politicians have used this for political change, it means they will NEVER admit this was a scam so what is the end game? Do we remain with masks and social distancing forever to prevent civil protests and revolutions?
This nonsense that getting vaccinate will eliminate COVID shows that not everyone is plain stupid. The CDC recommendations have been inconsistent. The CDC then tells vaccinated people to wear masks and social distance and the White House tried to explain why this did not cover up a lie to start with. The CDC claimed if you were vaccinated there was a small risk of getting COVID. First, the Military says all personnel must be vaccinated, then when they realize there is huge resistance that changes the policy and says they can apply for an exception. Then because the vaccines are not working, the FDA approves now the third shot.
What happens to the financial markets when they wake up and realize that REAL SCIENCE says there will never come a day to eradicate COVID and as such, there will NEVER be a return to normal.
So in this context, Russia and China will stand in the way of this dream of creating a one-world government. For that, I am thankful. But this is NOT going to end nicely and we will most likely end up in war against Russia and Chins because, in truth, they stand in the way of this cabal.
The Federal Reserve’s take on the coin shortage says that there are ample coins in the economy, but the banks have also been closed so there was a shortage also created by the fact that businesses could not get coins from a local bank that was operating only in a virtual mode. This also contributed to the problem. So banks, mints, transportation, and mines were all shut down which has created the problem you see in coin shortages, but this similar problem has infected all of the economies. So we have shortages in just about everything.
What COVID has done is tapped into those who prefer welfare and have no problem not working as long as everything is free. Organizations have been formed to keep living for free with no consideration of what that really means to the economy as a whole. They are out in full force to prevent evictions and they only look at this from their perspective. If the landlords are not paid, then they cannot pay their mortgages, and then the banks foreclose. Living free is not a long-term solution but we can easily see how many would love Guaranteed Basic Income with no responsibilities. Without rents, landlords can’t pay mortgages but also repairs. So they will demand landlords repair their place but refuse to pay for anything. What will happen is simple. They will convert private property into state housing and then you will have converted New York City to one giant ghetto.
Everywhere you look there is help wanted signs yet unemployment will not decline. I get a lot of emails from small businesses that cannot go back to normal because there is not enough staff. We even have Judges who have totally lost their mind ordering Maryland must continue to pay the extra unemployment benefits. This is raising unemployment costs in taxes upon those who are working.
You really can’t make up this nonsense. Nobody in their right mind would have created such a system – even a socialist, which would just argue to confiscate property to prevent evictions. Those of us who are working will pay more in taxes to support those who want a free lunch and everything else.

It’s a world of privilege, in boats that are cramped Welcome to Disney’s re-education camp So if your skin is white It is time you’re contrite It’s a woke world after all
It’s a woke world after all It’s a woke, woke world
It’s a world of power, a world of fears And we work long days to make souvenirs Although millions have died And the Uyghurs aside It’s a woke world after all
It’s a woke world after all It’s a woke, woke world
There is a land where you once lived free as a capitalist pig of the bourgeoisie We could eat ‘till we’re fat and would vote Democrat If we just get past that wall
It’s a woke world after all It’s a woke, woke world
We’re all Marxists after all It’s a woke world after all

It has been almost ten years since CTH first outlined the 1984 interview between Yuri Bezmenov and G. Edward Griffin titled “Deception was My Job”. [2013 CTH Article Here] However, it is worth revisiting the interview as we find ourselves increasingly influenced by a deliberate effort to control U.S. society.
Mr. Yuri Bezmenov was a Soviet informant and KGB operative who defected to the United States in the early 70s. Within the interview [full video here], Bezmenov lays out the four stages of “ideological subversion” created by radical Marxists to indoctrinate and weaken nations from within.
It is my contention the Chicago Marxists aligned with Barack Obama (revolutionary communists) were/are following this ‘four stage’ roadmap. The U.S. State Department is filled with like-minded travelers who align with this approach.
Some researchers have identified the objective as connected to the Fabian Socialist goal, others have called it “The Color Revolution”, but the names do not matter much; what matters is the map they follow, the four stages:
♦Stage One: Demoralization – Elimination of American Exceptionalism, fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia. Peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc. National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National history is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.
♦Stage Two: Crisis – Creation of economic, financial, and national security crisis. Also includes social crisis and breakdown of previous self-evident restrictions on moral behavior. Cloward Piven approach to overloading the system, ie more takers than producers. The crisis produces benevolent leaders who will promise to deliver “things” (Hope and Change) to meet people’s needs through Social and Economic Justice. False illusions that the situation is under control if certain strategic directions are followed (Bailouts, Stimulus, Jobs Bills, Regulations of industry, Unconstitutional Power Grabs, Dismissal of Historical Laws, Changes in legislative processes, Changes in checks and balances of power etc).
♦Stage Three: Normalization – The uncomfortable feelings of change including losses of freedom are absorbed and accepted. Lost national identity becomes accepted as the norm within the new societal model. A period of national rebranding transition where people are so overwhelmed by the change they become numb and begin to accept a ‘new normal’. This period of normalization lasts indefinitely as the progression is continually advanced and acceptance takes place in small controlled doses. (New limits on behavior, Regulations, TSA Patdowns, Intrusions into privacy, Controls into daily life) These things begin to be accepted as “just the way it is now”..
♦Stage Four: Destabilization – Unlike the period of “Crisis” the people who helped orchestrate the change are now no longer needed. The new overarching centralized governmental model begins to take control. Leftist usurpers who initially thought they were going to be part of the new power structure begin to realize they were used and manipulated and they themselves become the new enemy. Because they have first hand knowledge of the agenda they are the primary target for elimination. They may simply be disregarded, obfuscated, thrown out, or they may be collected, imprisoned, or worse killed. There is no longer room for dissention. Dissent is only possible within the free system that has now been deconstructed. Therefore the leftist purpose is served once the destabilization is complete. Totalitarian Government takes control.
Perhaps a reasonable person would argue that elimination of economic capacity (to live freely) is just as restrictive as living inside a walled camp. If you cannot live freely, earn a living freely, move about without restrictions, and determine for yourself your choices, then what really is the difference between being thrown in an internment camp and having the invisible chain link fence of diminished freedom built around your home?
If government can control your income through taxation, employment and redistribution; tell you what to eat by deciding your choices for you; tell you how much energy you are allowed to consume through rules and regulation; tell you what kind of car you can be allowed to drive; tell you what type of toilet you can buy; tell you what kind of detergent you may wash with; determine what information you have access to through the TV media and internet access; and then control your capacity to receive the healthcare of your choice; then really what is the difference between living in a collective camp under such rules and living where you are now but following the same rules ?
I would argue that we are solidly in the middle of stage #3 (normalization), while all around us Stage Four (destabilization) is beginning, perhaps as planned. We talk about the new “isms” all the time. Heck, most of what we discuss is our reluctance to engage in acceptance of the “normalization”, and our seeming frustration to be able to influence “it” to stop presenting us with new acceptance challenges.
♦Everything you just read above was written in 2013. If we consider the constant nudges, probes and pushes from the leftists in government and society (BLM, Antifa, Occupy Wall Street, etc.), we can consider them as different approaches, tests or probes per se’, toward the same totalitarian outcome. Then if we overlay the weaponization of COVID-19 fear as the biggest effort so far, well, from that perspective SARS-CoV-2 takes on a new strategic dimension.
FOLLOW THE DOTS […] Through the Dept of State (DoS) the intelligence apparatus began working on their first steps to align Big Tech with a larger domestic institutional objective. Those of you who remember the “Arab Spring”, some say “Islamist Spring”, will remember it was triggered by Barack Obama’s speech in Cairo – his first foreign trip. The State Department worked with grassroots organizers (mostly Muslim Brotherhood) in Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Qatar and Libya. Obama leaned heavily on the organizational network of Turkish President Recep Erdogan for contacts and support.
Why does this aspect matter to us? Well, you might remember how much effort the Obama administration put into recruiting Facebook and Twitter as resources for the various mid-east rebellions the White House and DoS supported. This was the point of modern merge between the U.S. intelligence community and Big Tech social media.
In many ways the coordinated political outcomes in Libya and Egypt were the beta test for the coordinated domestic political outcomes we saw in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The U.S. intelligence community working with social media platforms and political operatives. (continue reading)
Overlay climate change as a tool, a sociological tool. How many easily manipulated minds really believe in climate change? How many people around the world genuinely believe, as their very core essence and worldview, that man-made climate change is a threat to our species?
Putting aside the fact the behavior of global elites does not reflect their belief in the very Climate Change agenda they sell, what would a weaponized Climate Change agenda really look like? And…. if humans really were the extinction level threat that many now accept as true, what would the sheeple masses be willing to accept in order to stop it?
Through those multi-dimensional prisms of manipulation – the four stage processes that Yuri Bezmenov describes in the interview could be viewed as steps toward fulfillment of the actual agenda.
