WEC 2023 – The Road to 2032
Armstrong Economics Blog/ECM Re-Posted Sep 23, 2023 by Martin Armstrong
We are rapidly approaching 2032, where there will be the real Great Reset. We can all now “feel” 2032 coming. Our computer has made forecasts that no human being could have possibly made on such a consistent basis. Sure, someone can luck out and claim to have forecast one thing, but so many consistently is just not humanly possible.
Back in 1985, the political forecast was set in stone. The 2016 election would be the first time a third-party candidate could win in American history. The 2015.75 target was to be the peak in the CONFIDENCE and trust of the government. Trump fulfilled that role as the career Republicans and Democrats hated his guts. People like Romey are still desperately trying to protect the corruption in Washington. The 2024 election showed that there would be only a 10% chance that it would be a free and fair election. With 91 charges against Trump and treasonous lawsuits were launched against Trump in Colorado to block him from the Ballot under the pretense of the 14th Amendment calling January 6th an insurrection when not a single person in more than 1,000 people charged faced the Insurrection Statute. Such a lawsuit violated Due Process and shows just how desperate these people are to maintain the Deep State that is crumbling before our eyes.
I stood up at the 2011 WEC and warned that the War Cycle and the Civil Unrest Cycle bottomed in 2014, and we would be looking at war for the end of this cycle into 2032. The computer in 2013 even targeted Ukraine, where this would all begin.
Schwab has taken that forecast and is trying to push everything in his direction of a totalitarian state where we lose all our privacy and freedom. As I have said, Schwab is a control freak. He has to know everything in his WEF applying that standard to the world.
Saving the Future is not going to be easy. Kevin McCarthy is an absolute disgrace, but it should not be a surprise that he has no problem sending endless money to Ukraine and sending millions of people to their deaths because that is the Neocons’ dream. Coming from California, probably the most corrupt political state in the nation and morally bankrupt, we should not place any hope in McCarthy to prevent World War III.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Ukrainian proposals for restoring its pre-invasion territory absolutely laughable. Unless the Ukrainians wake the hell up and remove Zelensky by force, they will NEVER have a country to return to. The West does not care about them. They are cannon fodder for the Neocons, who care about nothing but their insane wars. There will not be a wonderland of investment that Zelensky is preaching. Lavrov has thrown down the gauntlet, for Putin cannot ignore the hardliners who have been right all along – they are at war with the USA and NATO, not Ukraine.
Lavrov said that they could have war if Ukraine’s allies wanted war. Behind the curtain, these warmongers are creating World War III, and this war is likely to go on for years.
Based on the numerous requests to try to lay a map into 2032, this year’s event may be one of the more interesting during the past ten years: November 17, 18, and 19 in Orlando.
Russell Brand Issues Statement After British Govt Target Him for Removal from Social Media Platforms
Posted originally on the CTH on September 22, 2023 | Sundance
The Sunday Times, a Rupert Murdoch publication in the U.K, published a hit piece against Russell Brand accusing him of rape and sexual assault 20-years ago. It did not take long before the accusations triggered the cancel culture and YouTube demonetized the actor and pundit. Russell Brand has vehemently denied the allegations.
However, in a remarkable escalation the U.K Parliament is now targeting Russell Brand. The British government has sent a letter to U.S. social media companies, including video platform provider Rumble demanding they take action against Brand. Not only is the British government targeting an individual and demanding action over an unproven allegation, but they are also sending a letter to the U.S. company demanding acquiescence to their censorship demand.
Standing solidly on the side of freedom, Rumble said no. However, now Rumble is the subject of a global smear campaign using a variety of media outlets and constructed controversies. Today, Russell Brand responded to the overall effort by the British government. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH

This conference is rather unique. This is blending the manipulation of COVID tactics to control society and the financial backdrop behind the agenda that has been the motivation behind this authoritarian approach and the powers behind the headlines seek to drive us into their version of a Great Reset.

Pix System in Brazil
Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Sep 21, 2023 by Martin Armstrong
You likely have not heard of the Pix system unless you live in Brazil. Pix is an “instant payment ecosystem” launched on November 16, 2020, by Brazil’s central bank (BCB). Pix primarily works through the use of QR codes that users use to access their digital accounts for payments. The pandemic helped push people to digitalized banking, and now the system has surpassed the use of credit and debit cards.
About 30% of all transactions in 2022 happened on the Pix system, compared to only 20% via credit cards and 19% on debit cards. Three billion monthly transactions take place through Pix and that figure continues to grow. “The adoption of Pix in society has been very intense,” commented Carlos Eduardo Brandt, head of Pix Operations at the Central Bank of Brazil. Two-thirds of the entire population of Brazil now uses Pix as it has become ingrained in everyday life. Cash transactions are in decline, dropping by a quarter since 2020. However, Brazilians once preferred cash and those in rural areas accepted their wages in the Real.
The International Monetary Fund is pleased with the success of Pix and has been studying its success. The IMF published a study this July entitled, “Pix: Brazil’s Successful Instant Payment System.” “The authorities are now able to track monthly payment and related economic activity on a granular basis by geographical location, types of transactions, and borrowers, including by age group,” the study notes. The IMF says that mandatory participation by the big banks was one of the contributing factors to Pix’s adaptation.
Every central bank is developing its own CBDC. The goal of the globalists is to combine these digital currencies into one centralized database. Although Pix is not a CBDC, it has served the purpose of acclimating the banks, merchants, and users to the idea of a cashless society.
British Parliament Demands Rumble Video Platform Remove or Demonetize Russell Brand – Rumble Says NO!

This is quite a remarkable development. The Sunday Times, a Rupert Murdoch publication in the U.K, published a hit piece against Russell Brand accusing him of rape and sexual assault 20-years ago.

Not only is the British government targeting an individual and demanding action over an unproven allegation, but they are also sending a letter to the U.S. company demanding acquiescence to their censorship demand.
Rumble has previously stood strong against the demands of the French government, and once again stands at the forefront of freedom in responding to the UK demand.
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski responded to the U.K govt and shared his response on Twitter. “We emphatically reject the UK Parliament’s demands.”

In an era where social media are more than willing to crawl into bed with the censorship demands of government, looking at you Elon, it is refreshing to see a platform refuse to be pushed into a position of censorship.
Well done Team Rumble.
Now let’s ask why billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch is targeting opinions that might run against the official government narratives? I seem to remember someone warning about an increased effort to remove specific entities and platforms that will not adhere to official government positions.
The Gates of Hell
Armstrong Economics Blog/WEF Re-Posted Sep 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong
I think Bill Gates will go down in history as in the list of the top 5 demons who have waged war against humanity. He represents what some call the Gates of Hell. Nobody will stop this guy; he is out to reduce the world’s population, no different than Hitler or Stalin. Nothing this guy does shows he cares about humanity. The Telegraph reported back in September 2018:
“The billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has delivered a stark warning on population growth in Africa, saying if left unchecked, it could unravel decades of progress and fuel instability across the globe.”
Gates pretends to care about society with his FORCE vaccines. Yet this is contrary to all his efforts that claim we are doomed unless we REDUCE population as his father did with abortions and Planned Parenthood.
They were very clever in telling women it was their RIGHT to kill their children. Ruth Bader Ginsburg made it clear when she got to the Supreme Court it had NOTHING to do with women’s rights — it was all about reducing the population, especially among minorities, not much different than Hitler with his Aryan Race. Just last year, Gates launched a program for condoms in Africa. Even back in 2013, GATES SWORE HE WOULD REINVENT THE CONDOM.
Why would ANYONE believe Gates on anything? These vaccines are NOT intended to help society. Klaus Schwab also makes the short-list of the greatest threat to humanity. His World Economic Forum joined Bill Gates-controlled GAVI to promote using biometric tracking technology to force-vaccinate African children to take Gates’ malaria vaccine that does not even work. This vaccine produced deadly meningitis in at least one out of a hundred children receiving four doses.
NOBODY will stop the WEF or Bill Gates because our career politicians sanction whatever they want to do if perhaps the bribes are big enough.
Ukrainian Spy Chief Asks West to Empty Warehouses of Military Supplies
Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Sep 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong
The West has provided Ukraine with EVERYTHING, from weapons, training, and money to removing their opponent from the SWIFT system and irreparably harming their relationship with Russia. The blank checks to Ukraine are real, as we have come to learn as week after week, politicians travel to Kyiv to offer more and more. Major General Kyrylo Budanov of Ukraine knows that there would be no war without Western aid, and said that he knows Western nations can provide more since “warehouses in Western countries are not completely empty.”
According to Joe Biden, the US is low on ammunition but there are always supplies and fund for Ukraine. Budanov said that Ukraine’s current arsenal could be depleted by 2023, or in three years. “We are dependent on external players,” he admitted. “Russia is mostly dependent on itself.” That is because the West is using Ukraine as cannon fodder as the war was planned many years ago. Everything had to fall into place from installing Zelensky to using the fake Minsk Agreement to buy time to build up Ukraine’s military.
Zelensky plans to travel to New York to ask the United Nations General Assembly for MORE. How are the people not concerned with this guy showing up to every major event and begging for funding from countries that are on an economic decline? Ukraine will never stop asking for money and the West will never stop providing it to them.
Hence, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is already preparing the public for a “long war.” “Most wars last longer than expected when they first begin,” Stoltenberg told Funke media. “Therefore we must prepare ourselves for a long war in Ukraine.” He spreads the lie that Russia wants to wipe Ukraine off the map when Putin has made his intentions very clear from day one. Had the signing nations abided by the Minsk Agreement, there would have been fair elections in the Russian regions of Ukraine and all of this could have been avoided. But the neocons want war with Russia. “We all want a quick peace,” lied Stoltenberg. “At the same time, we must recognize that if [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy and the Ukrainians stop fighting, their country will no longer exist. If President Putin and Russia stop fighting, we will have peace.” All of the peace offerings have been declined. War is the only option now, and Ukraine will continue to milk its Western allies for everything they can give.
Pentagon Study Finds Old Threat
Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong
Funded by the Pentagon, the RAND Corporation’s National Security Research Division published its annual report to note potential risks to national security. RAND researchers found that aging politicians may be a danger to the US. “Taken together, we believe that an increasing number of cleared personnel — that is, personnel who hold or have held security clearances — have or will have dementia,” concluded the RAND researchers.
Joe Biden has the codes to our nuclear weapons, allegedly, but can’t recall what he had for breakfast. McConnell has begun freezing amid conferences and everyone looks the other way. Feinstein relinquished the rights of her own estate because she doesn’t trust her current mental health. We’ve seen Biden make countless remarks about his handlers telling him where to go, who to call upon, and what to say. Yet even though these people work for us, they refuse to leave office.
Researchers found that aging US politicians have “difficulty remembering new information, poor judgment, impulsivity, disorientation, and behavioral changes.” We’ve seen the commander-in-chief exhibit all of these symptoms. The report notes that those with dementia are very vulnerable and may be targeted by an adversary. It is not possible for someone with this degenerative condition to hold onto classified information, let alone make informed decisions on behalf of the nation.
RAND researchers believe that the US government should codify a process to keep track of elderly individuals with security clearances to monitor them for symptoms of dementia. Our current Congress is the oldest in American history. The average Democratic senator is 65, while the average Republican senator is 63. Joe Biden became the oldest president of the United States at 77, and 77% of Americans believe he is simply to old for a second term. Dementia is a completely avoidable threat to national security if we hold elected officials accountable.
