Farmer Protests Rising

Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Apr 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

People are unaware of the agenda with food and why Bill Gates has become the largest holder of farmland in the United States. There is a whole new agenda unfolding, and, of course, mainstream media has been bought off. Farmers in France and Croatia are standing up to EU policies. Farmers in France have even brought in tractors to combat the police. The goal appears to be to end traditional farming and ranching as we have known it. Europe is 100% under the control of the World Economic Forum and now has a new seed law that CRIMINALIZES traditional seed saving. They are using drones and satellites now to monitor all fishing in real-time.

Croatians are deeply concerned about the EU Ag Census, which takes total inventory of all food production — farms, animals, bees, anything — because it was only 1945 when Yugoslavia LAST conducted such a census prior to seizing control of all farms, transforming it into a state-run collectivized industry. The government then ordered all farmers off their land. The patterns are the same, which is reminiscent of the communist total takeover.

I strongly recommend that you watch “Mr. Jones,” the movie about how the New York Times tried to hide the truth about 7 million Ukrainians starving to death because of the Communist takeover of farmland. There are people who are greatly concerned about Bill Gates, who is an excessive climate change activist who has been funding everything that is furthering this Great Reset.

Bill Gates is most likely also buying up farmland to impose his own private objective for climate change in altering traditional farming as well. He has publicly written:

“The agriculture sector is important. With more productive seeds we can avoid deforestation and help Africa deal with the climate difficulty they already face. It is unclear how cheap biofuels can be but if they are cheap it can solve the aviation and truck emissions.”

Many are deeply concerned that Gates is genetically altering the food supply and the agenda is not about just creating biofuels.

Europe Becoming Ruthless in the Name of Protecting People

Armstrong Economics Blog/European Union Re-Posted Apr 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

n Brussels, the Capitol of Europe, the police are simply attacking the people with ruthless disregard for human rights. They even rode right over people with their horses. If there was ever a justification for revolution, you are witnesses that in Europe now where the government has taken COVID as an excuse to alter the entire economy to BUILD BACK BETTER. The government is denying the people any say in their own future whatsoever.

What is going on in Europe is just astonishing. I have personal friends who have fled to the Middle East just to save their children. It is sad to watch the people being plowed down, but even worse to watch the police enforcing this tyranny.

COMMENT NETHERLANDS:Hello Mr. Armstrong,While browsing the dutch wikipedia I was shocked reading the intro of the WEF: the partyleader of Netherlands’ 2nd party (D66) Sigried Kaag is member of the WEF supervisory board. Last week, most of our political parties were engaged in a political hit job against Mark Rutte. I remembers me of the drumbeats against Trump with the media singing the socialists’ tune.So last thursday Parliament has officially accused him of lying whilst all witnesses testified he didn’t. Only the anonymous note-taker – most likely a cilvil servant – wrote the offending passage. If Mark won’t become PM of his 4th cabinet, then most likely Sigried Kaag will become PM. This stinks, a lot. Kaag is pro-EU, pro-UN and adores Klaus.As Mark is the most senior PM (with Merkel) in the EU, has a lot of respect and knows everyone in Europe, Netherlands and elsewhere, he is widely highly regarded. I can’t see a stable Europe, Netherlands if he would concede to this parliamentary blackmail. What say you?Kind regards,EGPS. Keep up the good work, hope for some more articles in Socrates sections.

COMMENT: I know you do not operate by rumor and thank god för that. There are starting to circulate information in the Netherlands that the ME police Implemented to shutdown demonstrations is a special task force from the EU. The following link for further information: (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Gendarmerie_Force)

Thank you!

COMMENT: Hello Martin,
Wauw, this is all getting more and more scary by the day. I read your blog daily, for years now. We just had elections in the Netherlands this Wednesday, no surprising outcome , really. Our prime minister Mr Mark Rutte won again and will form his new government soon. I always thought your predictions would happen, but NOT in the Netherlands. Haha, am I wrong. More and more I see Mark Rutte´s face appearing in films on the WEF, and guess what, a newly upcoming partylady Siegried Kaag, soon to join the government, is also formly involved in the WEF, as is the son of our Minister of Justice.
Kind regards from the Netherlands, JvH

COMMENT:

Hi Marty,

so I told you the resistance in the Netherlands is nill
we had elections yesterday

so this is the preliminary outcome :
VVD = MARK RUTTE
D66 = SIGRID KAAG
and then of course we have “Queen” Maxima Zorreguita,
the daughter of the Argentina Minister Zorreguita, who now is saying “ich habe es nicht gewusst”,
who was detrimental in canceling the Dutch culture from the moment she got crowned

PVV is the follow up of 2001 assassinated Pim Fortuyn,
who was about to push out the establishment,
but this party now has a weak leader and is severely infiltrated

CDA is the ancient Catholics middle of the road,
PvdA is the labour, SP the Marxist socialistic party

then we have FvD, the new threat to the establishment,
however in their rocket launch upwards,
they have been heavily infiltrated, attacked, nihilated, divided by the establishment

for the first time ever we also have voting by mail and voting spread out over a longer time, not just a single day
and of course many did not sign the vote, so they mutually agreed to accept the non signed votes
… the US election fraud has landed in Europe

this election outcome is really not the reflection of what the people are thinking
however many have been severely brainwashed
so when I just was testing the opinions in my own environment I expected an outcome like this

there have been many brave people working night and day to inform the population,
but the brainwashing and created fear is so strong,
people become very aggressive and do attack any deviating opinion, so it is dangerous to express one

so I guess we are doomed
I have been looking for years where to escape to, but can not find it
honestly, I was thinking Russia may become a serious option?

France in Lockdown

Armstrong Economics Blog/France Re-Posted Apr 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Europe is coming under a lot of pressure. In the UK, people ate becoming very angry over PM Boris Johnson’s consideration of “sinister and discriminatory” domestic Covid-19 passports. In France, the lockdown has become a symbol of total corruption and a viral report on secret luxury dinners for government ministers is reminiscent of the old Soviet Union where the leaders lived in luxury in hidden military bases which the people starved. In France, l’Opinion has written that the government can deny the allegations but the damage has already been done.

All of this is coming from the World Economic Forum which has virtually total control over Europe at this time. Even the head of the IMF and the European Central Bank are both board members of the World Economic Forum. This is strangely right on time. The last two leftist movements were those of 1848 and 1934. Indeed, in France, the revolutionary events ended the July Monarchy (1830–1848) and led to the creation of the French Second Republic. Following the overthrow of King Louis Philippe in February 1848, the elected government of the Second Republic ruled France. There is a very serious risk that these forced lockdowns will result in civil uprisings.

Ironically, in 1853, the French government launched the Crimean War against Russia. If this remains on target, we should expect a war to start by 2025 and it may very well be over Crimea once more.

Riots in Rome of Tyrannical Lockdowns

Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Apr 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

We have confirmation from readers in Rome that there has been a protest in Piazza Montecitorio which began as a sit-in protest by restaurateurs and other categories were taking place today on the emergency closures for Covid. The peaceful protest has degenerated into a clash between protestors and police forces who assaulted the people launching various types of bombs and objects. The protestors were yelling at the police who would obviously just follow orders as did the Nazis in Germany calling them “buffoons” and “freedom” and the protestors turned on the ruthless police breaking through the barriers and the police turned violent.

NEVER in 6,000 years has any government tried to lockdown its people because of a claimed virus. The death rates are no different between states that locked down and those that remained open in the United States. This is a political agenda coming from the World Economic Forum. In the meantime, we have Spirt Airlines going tyrannical kicking off the plane a family because a two-year old does not have a mask. When ALL the studies show that even masks do not work, yet we have been subjected to outright tyranny on such a scale.

It’s A Good Time to Die?

Armstrong Economics Blog/The Hunt for Taxes Re-Posted Apr 5, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Democrats are out to end saving and passing on something for your children. I am sure those who voted for Biden simply because they hated Trump will find out what the real agenda is fairly soon. It might simply be a good time to die right now because the Democrats tear up everything that made America the land of opportunity.

The one thing that I would have to agree with Karl Marx on was his version of the “rich” in England was all about preventing the lower classes from ever obtaining wealth. You would take a house and basically pay full value, but it was for a 100-year lease, the way the Brits did in Hong Kong. The 100 years pass, and the property reverts to the historical owners. It was known as a “long lease.” The term “freehold” meant that it was a property you and your family could actually own.

The Democrats are back to the same philosophy of the old aristocratic families of England. Instead of the aristocratic families retaining the title, the Democrats want whatever wealth you have earned and saved to make your family well established to revert to the state. People fled Europe and came to America so they could actually own the property outright. The Financial Panic of 1792 inspired Ben Franklin to say, “In this world nothing can be certain, except death and taxes.”

Many people have criticized my solution that the government should be prohibited from borrowing and it should simply create money to cover its expenses each year capped at 5% of GDP — all federal taxes should be abolished. State and local taxes would still exist since they cannot create money. But they too should be prohibited from borrowing.

My critics will argue this will be inflationary. My point is that would be a dramatic improvement over the current system and eliminating federal debt means that the capital will be redirected into the private sector, creating far more economic growth. Politicians are incapable of managing the economy and should be prohibited from attempting anything. At times, up to 70% of the national debt is accumulated interest expenditures because they borrow year after year with NO intention of paying anything back.

Biden will not destroy the economy because he is spending recklessly, and then argues we must raise taxes to pay for this spending. Yet, the government will never pay for everything because they need to reduce the debt.

So, my solution would have kept your family and their future. Under the Democrats, they are wiping out the future of your family. We are returning to the days where private wealth is not something they will tolerate.

Remember one thing — 99% of all revolutions are created because of taxes! NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

Boris Johnson is Anti-Religion

Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN Re-Posted Apr 4, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

We have to wonder just how long are people going to sit on their hands before rising up? Boris Johnson is no doubt one of the world’s most ruthless heads of state. Please like this have often invoked revolutions and the policies of Boris in Britain are just so outrageous, history will remember him in the long list of absolute tyrants.

On Good Friday, police entered a Polish Church at stood at the altar and instructed worshipers to go home of they would be fined £200 per person. That was absolutely outrageous. On Sunday, the police who are obviously incapable of human thought descended upon a Polish Church once again. Boris believes in no religion other than trying to figure out how to wipe out the majority of the population following his father’s objectives as is Bill Gates. They do not believe in humanity or even that anyone is created by God nor do we possibly have a soul. We are all just biological mistakes he wants to correct so he can play God and Build Back Better because Goid screwed it all up if he even exists.

The real question is simple. When will the Brits say enough is enough?

You Cannot Deduct Working from Home as a W2 Employee

Armstrong Economics Blog/The Hunt for Taxes Re-Posted Apr 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Well it looks like the coronavirus is going to cause a major problem because everyone will be deducting their home offices.

ANSWER: You better check with your accountant. It is my understanding that if you are a W2 employee, you cannot take a home office deduction. Currently, you need to have self-employment income to benefit from home office deduction. This is going to cause real problems now that so many people are forced to work remotely. I seriously doubt the Democrats will allow a deduction for working remotely.

Crisis of the 70s Compared to the 20s

Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Apr 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Hi Marty,

Your post today on inflation(when people see it coming) reminds me how things have changed from the 1970s. Then, the inflation we saw came from oil rising(Opec raising prices), unions demanding wage increases, and currencies untethered to the abandoned Bretton Woods agreement. Governments then seemed clueless how to stem this rise, with interest rates rising relentlessly, pressuring bonds and eroding earnings of still largely manufacturing-based economies. Globalization was not an issue as half the world still lived under communism.

Today, it seems central banks have “learned” how to rig interest rates by flooding markets addicted to debt. What is different today is governments now, instead of fearing inflation, actually want it. In fact, desire it to bring about the Great Reset. They appear to want to drive oil prices higher to such levels that this makes Green Energy cheaper and helps to accelerate the conversion over to electric cars. All at the expense of the consumer. On top of this, taxing old tech, principally oil and gas, only helps to fuel shortages, since companies have cut back on oil exploration. When you force people to stay home, the demand for energy shifts from driving to people staying home, more demand for computers, more energy required to supply the grid, more companies delivering products to the home. What has been accomplished? People fleeing high tax states to ones that remain open, those with no state income taxes, those in the south. The burden shifts to northern states, the advantage gained by southern states.

Today, governments are deliberately fueling these shortages…encouraging them, to expedite the transition away from globalization to one centrally controlled. No longer do they need access to debt markets, they can supply guaranteed income without fear of inflation or failed bond auctions. This is truly diabolical. And with Big Tech doing their bidding, people too stupid to grasp what is happening, it appears today’s inflation is by design, intended to destroy a private business, which can’t compete with large companies, jobs destroyed, inflation today used as a weapon against private enterprise. This is pure evil, which stands out against the market-based inflation of the 1970s.

REPLY: You are correct that it was a period of unions demanding more, but it was more than just that aspect. There were two other major developments. First, there were rising prices with lower economic growth. This became known as STAGFLATION. This took place because COSTS were rising from an external price shock that rippled through the economy, which was created at the same time as an economic recession. That never took place before because previous recessions were entirely confined domestically, so prices declined with lower demand.

It was more than simply the collapse of Bretton Woods. It was the in-your-face collapse of Keynesian economics. Still, it was Paul Volcker who followed Keynesianism and raised interest rates into 1981 simply because he had no other theory available. I had a conversation with Volcker at the IMF Dinner in Washington. I did not bash him over his head with his mistake, he was so tall it would have been hard to do so, but we did have a frank discussion of the changes in the global economy.

Today, the central banks are still trapped by the same Keynesian economic theories. Now, they have painted themselves into a corner with artificially low interest rates that they cannot escape without a drastic alteration to the debt markets as a whole. Volcker could at least correct his mistake by lowering interest rates. Today, the central banks cannot raise rates without blowing up their own portfolios. It is a very different type of crisis they face today than what it was during the 1970s.
