The Protest Cycle


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Oct 19, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Protests are continuing in Europe. This was the one in London this weekend. Boris Johnson is adopting the measures of the Madman of Australia. We are looking at a rising spiral of civil unrest especially because they will continue to use this virus to extinguish all human rights.

Our ideal target for the start of this escalating cycle of civil unrest (protests against lockdowns) was 2020.563 which was June 24/25, 2020 and the end of this cycle will be about October 30th, 2026. On June 12, in Lebanon, their currency collapsed because of COVID and many Lebanese citizens took to the streets for anti-government protests. The protesters set up burning barricades and forced road closures. As some protesters threw rocks at police, others tried to climb the security fence surrounding the Prime Minister’s house. On June 30, China officially passed the controversial national security law which affected Hong Kong through a loophole in its constitution. This led to more protests but this was not COVID oriented.

Following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody on May 26, 2020, protests began the next day. But because of COVID and the loss of jobs, this allowed people to attend all over in far greater numbers than ever before. There were even protests in Amsterdam on June 1, 2020.

This cycle of protests and violence will escalate. As a direct result of COVID and job losses, people are free to protest now in mass.

Klaus Schwab – The New Karl Marx Destined to Kill Hundreds of Millions


Armstrong Economics Blog/Socialist Re-Posted on Oct 16, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The New York Times cheered Stalin and constantly reported that this was the way to the future. They are supporting once again this move to a Marxist Utopia. The New York Times hid the truth about Stalin. His great economic miracle was achieved by taking all the food from Ukraine to pretend Communism was working in Russia causing over 7 million to starve to death.

So many people are really just ignorant. They think this election is about picking Trump v Biden. They are clueless because mainstream media is once again supporting this agenda of the Great Reset. Listen carefully to Schwab’s words. He expressly states “equality” which is the dream which began with Karl Marx.

The New York Times cheered Stalin and constantly reported that this was the way to the future. They are supporting once again this move to a Marxist Utopia. The New York Times hid the truth about Stalin. His great economic miracle was achieved by taking all the food from Ukraine to pretend Communism was working in Russia causing over 7 million to starve to death.

I strongly recommend you watch the movie Mr. Jones. This exposes the TRUE STORY of how the New York Times tried to support Communism in the United States back then, with their top journalist, Walter Duranty (1884-1957), who was their main man in Moscow. The New York Times promoted him to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for that reporting on how Communism was Utopia and our future. When Gareth Jones (1905-1935) in March 1933 reported this was all a lie, the truth finally began to appear.

It took the New York Times until 1990 to admit to that their reporting which covered up the truth about Stalin and the massive starvation in an effort, like Schwab, once again selling “equality” as our salvation. The New York Times covered up the more than 7 million people who died of starvation in the Ukraine famine. The New York Times wrote that their reporting on the Russian Revolution constituted “some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper.” They never revoked his Pultizer Prize for writing fake news about Stalin.

It was the New York Times’ Walter Duranty who also met with Franklin Roosevelt and supported the move toward Marxism in the United States as the “New Deal”. It was the New York Times’ Duranty that helped install drastic progressiveness in taxation in the United States following Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. This is precisely what Schwab is proposing with “equality” in league with his buddy, Thomas Piketty.

Anyone who thinks this is an election of just Democrat v Republican is a fool. There is a serious agenda behind these lockdowns and they have been intended to prevent commuters and to crush the world economy. Even Australia rules out international travel at least until the end of 2021. All of this is to reduce air travel to reduce CO2. This is the real agenda that Schwab has been selling behind the curtain. He will probably go down in history surpassing the death toll of Karl Marx. His lockdowns have already reduced the food supply and this raises the prospect of famine coming into play by 2022.

Biden’s Bodyguards


This has got to Stop or we have Lost our Country

Hard core tyranny has arrived in the United States. Thanks to the coup-minded Democrats, it has been creeping up on us after Trump was elected president. Now we have full-on Chinese-style stifling of free speech. Congress and the Deep State Swamp are complicit and have done nothing to protect our First Amendment.

Try using Google to find a story deemed ‘politically incorrect’ by the Swamp. You will be redirected to their own narrative that they deem factual. It’s the same with science. You are only allowed to know the data from the scientists of their choosing. Facebook won’t allow anything else to be posted on their platform.

Twitter has banned the New York Post after that publication revealed smoking gun details of Hunter Biden’s Ukraine graft involving his father. Censoring real journalism is a disgrace.

All speech should be free. People are allowed to express hatred. Dirty books should be allowed to be sold at smut shops. But political speech is the most important. It’s paramount and yet it’s going away on social media, aided and abetted by our own government and tax dollars. The CIA helped Facebook get started. They worked with Zuckerberg because they knew such a platform would provide them with a honeypot of private information. The CIA has gone rogue. It has been corrupted (perhaps inevitably) by power-mad operatives just as those running the FBI are corrupt. Now our social media has succumbed to the same kind of tyranny.

Don’t like it? Start your own Facebook. Or Twitter. Or Google. That’s what we’re told, anyway. Most of us do not have a few billion dollars handy to do it. We may as well be told to start our own CIA or FBI. Why not start our own Federal Reserve? The other independent social media platforms that have tried to offer free speech will eventually succumb to tyrannical control. They will be bought out, shut down, or sued into bankruptcy.

We live in a new, high-tech age and social media have become our town square. It shouldn’t be turned into ‘Red Square” by the globo-socialists.

China’s Election to the UN Human Rights Council


China was rewarded with a seat on the Human Rights Council– a perfect example of the hypocrisy rampant at the United Nations

China’s Election to the UN Human Rights CouncilOctober 13, 2020 was “a black day for human rights,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, the Geneva-based non-governmental human rights organization. Mr. Neuer was lamenting the fact that the United Nations General Assembly was preparing to vote to elect some of the world’s worst serial human rights abusing regimes to membership on the UN Human Rights Council. The regimes elected included China, Russia and Cuba. A Joint NGO Report issued by UN Watch, Human Rights Foundation and the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights on October 5, 2020 branded these regimes “unqualified.” The Joint NGO Report reached its conclusion based on the criteria that the UN General Assembly itself set, which required that “members elected to the Council shall uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights.”

The Chinese Communist regime is a wellspring of gross human rights abuses

The UN General Assembly’s vote to grant China membership in the Human Rights Council illustrates how the United Nations has made a complete mockery of the human rights protections it professes to uphold. The Chinese Communist regime is a wellspring of gross human rights abuses. The regime routinely crushes dissent, extending its authoritarian methods to Hong Kong. It tortures and arbitrary imprisons its citizens who do not toe the official party line. The regime is a surveillance state that negates any individual privacy rights, and it censors the press and online social media. Journalists who dare to stray into politically sensitive areas that the regime considers forbidden territory are regularly forced out of their jobs or jailed. The regime also engages in persecution of people of faith, including Christians, Buddhists and Muslims. 

In these respects, the Chinese regime is in sync with the human rights abuses of other authoritarian regimes. However, what places China in a class by itself today when it comes to human rights abuses are the internment camps the regime has established to arbitrarily detain more than one million Uighurs and other Muslims. The Joint NGO Report referenced the horrific conditions to which these detainees have been subjected, including political indoctrination, systematic torture, and the forced sterilization and abortions of female prisoners. The Uighurs and other Muslims who are not presently detained still live under repressive conditions. They are subjected to constant surveillance, the suppression of the use of their own language, and the banning of their cultural and religious practices.

Here is how the U.S. State Department described this unique example of ethnic cleansing in the 21st century, which the Chinese regime has justified to “contain and eradicate extremism”:

“The broad definition of extremism resulted in the reported detention since 2017 of more than one million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other Muslims in ‘transformation through education’ centers, or detention centers, designed to instill patriotism and erase their religious and ethnic identities. This included many of those ordered to return to China from studying or working abroad. International media reported security officials in the centers abused, tortured, and killed some detainees.”

“Outside the internment camps, the government implemented severe restrictions on expressions of minorities’ culture, language, and religious identity, including regulations prohibiting behaviors the government considered signs of ‘extremism’ such as growing ‘abnormal’ beards, wearing of veils in public places, and suddenly stopping smoking and drinking alcohol, among other behaviors. The regulations banned the use of some Islamic names when naming children and set punishments for the teaching of religion to children. Authorities conducted ‘household surveys’ and ‘home stays’ in which officials or volunteers forcibly lived in Uighurs’ homes and monitored families for signs of ‘extremism.’”

“Authorities searched cell phones at checkpoints and during random inspections of Uighur households, and persons in possession of alleged terrorist material, including pictures of general religious or cultural importance, could be arrested and charged with crimes.”

The Chinese regime is also unique in another respect from a human rights perspective, which is particularly relevant during this year of the coronavirus pandemic. The Chinese Communist regime deliberately withheld key information about the coronavirus, which originated in China, when it first became aware that the virus was highly contagious through human-to-human transmission. Chinese authorities cracked down on whistle blowers such as Dr Li Wenliang who wanted to warn the public about the emerging coronavirus threat before it could spread completely out of control. Authorities censored any negative stories in the media or on the Internet about how the Chinese government was handling the coronavirus outbreak. The World Health Organization accepted at face value the inaccurate information it received from China during the early weeks of the outbreak, when the virus’s spread could have been much more easily contained.

The Chinese Communist regime was in a position to come clean about the virulent virus that was first detected in Wuhan, China in late 2019, before the virus escaped China’s borders and set off a global pandemic. Chinese authorities decided not to do so. Instead, the Chinese regime put its own image first, willing to sacrifice the basic human right to life and well-being of people all over the world. Over a million people have since died from the coronavirus to date. Many of these peoples’ lives might well have been saved if Chinese authorities had been more forthright at the outset. The regime’s abysmal behavior in this regard falls far short of the supposed standard for membership on the UN Human Rights Council – to “uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights.” Yet China was rewarded with a seat on the Human Rights Council anyway – a perfect example of the hypocrisy rampant at the United Nations
