Justice Arthur Engoron is truly one of the most ridiculous judges on the bench.
During a break in the courtroom theatrics, following testimony by Michael Cohen, President Trump told the media, “This judge is a very partisan judge with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is.” President Trump was clearly remarking about Michael Cohen who was on the witness stand.
However, Moonbat Judge Engoron then demanded President Trump take the witness stand so he could ask him who those comments were directed toward. With Trump on the witness stand, the judge asked: “To whom were you referring?” “You and Cohen,” Trump replied.
The judge then said he did not believe Trump, “as the trier of fact, I find the witness is not credible“, he decreed from his perch; preferring to believe that President Trump was talking about Judge Engoron’s clerk. The idiot in a robe then levied another $10,000 sanction based on his wrongful assumption of President Trump’s thinking.
This is all far too ridiculous at this point.
NEW YORK – […] Trump unexpectedly took the witness stand Wednesday to face questioning from the judge about comments Trump made earlier in the day apparently disparaging the judge’s law clerk.
“As the trier of fact, I find the witness is not credible,” Justice Arthur Engoron said after Trump testified.
Trump’s testimony marked a remarkable moment in the trial, eliciting gasps in the room as the former president walked from the defense table to the witness stand.
During a break in the proceedings earlier in the day, Trump told reporters in the hallway outside the courtroom that “this judge is a very partisan judge with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is.”
With Trump on the witness stand, the judge asked: “To whom were you referring?”
“You and Cohen,” Trump replied, referring to Michael Cohen, his former personal lawyer and fixer who testified about Trump’s business practices on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Engoron, however, indicated he believed Trump was referring to his law clerk, Allison Greenfield, who sits directly to the judge’s right on the bench and whom Trump has already disparaged once before. (more)
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to discuss offshore wind turbines. Denmark is a leader in wind turbine technology, while Japan has an advantage in shipbuilding technology. Japan has stated that it plans to increase its offshore wind power by 60% by 2030. Biden stated he wants to power 10 million homes in America with offshore wind power by 2030, which is our computer’s 2032. The UK, Denmark, and other nations aligned with the Great Reset are also targeting 2030 and the industry as a whole is growing rapidly.
This fishing industry has warned that this technology will prevent them from yielding the same amount of fish each year. This will impact our overall food supply. But we will have bug protein to supplement us. No one knows the repercussions of placing these massive devices in the ocean. The environmentalists don’t want the energy companies drilling for oil, but they are OK with drilling deep into sea beds.
Japan and Denmark have a lofty goal of reducing greenhouse has emissions by 2030 before going to net-zero by 2050. “What I’m hoping for is that the effort to increase offshore wind in Japan will produce a ketchup effect, where you try to get the ketchup out of the bottle but nothing much comes out until suddenly it does, after much effort,” a Danish ambassador to Japan told the Japan Times. The Danish Energy Agency discussed the 2020 New Climate Agreement in which there will be a “new era with energy islands.” “An energy island serves as a hub for electricity generation for the surrounding wind farms, by collecting and distributing the electricity between countries connected by an electricity grid,” the report explains. Denmark believes it could power portions of Europe.
The Japan-Denmark partnership could be promising as nations are pledging their support for Agenda 2030 and spending to implement these structures, regardless of their efficiency or actual impact on the ecosystem.
QUESTION: Mrt. Armstrong, Socrates has been a real lifesaver. It is refreshing not to have someone spinning their political views into everything. Socrates called for the high in GDP here in 2023 and that the high took place in May. Here, we have Biden creating money without regard for fiscal responsibility. Socrates has shown the economy peaked in May. This is truly remarkable. Is this strange situation our fate into 2024?
KL
ANSWER: I understand that Socrates has forecast what is the opposite of every economic theory out there. It shows a recession has been unfolding since May, but this is on the aggregate level. On top of that, we have a Panic Cycle next year in 2024 in GDP. When I drill down into its forecasts per state, what becomes painfully apparent is what I have been writing about. There is a massive migration from blue states to red states initiated by COVID-19 but accelerated by tax increases. Thus, real estate is declining in the blue states, and those who didn’t want to move because of the higher mortgage rates will find their houses unsalable regardless of the mortgage rates. This will be particularly true in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Seatle, and Los Angeles, to mention a few. They had their chance. With the onslaught of migrants into those areas, those cities are raising taxes to cope with the aliens who pay no taxes.
Add to all of this chaos, Biden’s open border policy has let in terrorist cells, so nobody bothered to check anyone. Geopolitically, starting a war in the Middle East was insane. The Democrats should just admit that the real head of state in Blinkin and his VP is Victoria Nuland. They are the people running the country into the ground. We will see domestic terrorism thanks to the open border, and this time, World War III will be coming to a theater near you.
Then, we have a surge in diseases eradicated in the USA, like TB and malaria. We will also see a rise in diseases, including polio. Even Fed Chairman Powell has broken his silence in criticizing the Biden Administration. He has made it clear that this spending spree is unsustainable.
Climate Change zealots and the Neocons have usurped the Biden Administration. The Democrats are destroying the United States. Politics is so divided and polarized that they refuse to look at and stop the trend. This is not about Democrat v Republican. The United States has undergone a coup, and those in Washington are so caught up in hating each other nobody gives a dam about the country or the people.
The United States has become so divided – it is impossible to survive as one nation. The division is already starting. So, while the Democrats point fingers at the Republicans and they are so desperate to imprison Trump that they will ensure he dies mysteriously like Epstein and so many, there will be nothing left to fight over.
We are facing a recession because the consumer tends to spend less and save whenever there is UNCERTAINTY. Simple as that.
Then, if we end up with wars in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, Foreign Capital Will Flee to the US
Hence – we have a Panic Cycle warning about two opposite trends.
Netanyahu is another corrupt politician leading the world into ruin. He has faced charges of fraud, bribery, breach of trust, and conspiracy throughout his presidency, but that is peanuts compared to what is currently happening. It is hard to believe that Israeli intelligence was unaware that 1,000 Hamas fighters were amassed at the border. Netanyahu claims that the terrorists simply outsmarted Israeli intelligence and there was nothing he could have done to prevent the attack, but the people of Israel want to hold Netanyahu responsible for the October 7 invasion.
Most nations believe their leader is corrupt, but the people simply have no say. An opinion poll by Maariv newspaper found that 80% of Israelis want to hold Netanyahu responsible for failing to secure the border and allowing Hamas to enter Israel. Only 8% believe he should not be held responsible. Most Israelis (65%) want a ground offensive in Gaza, with only 21% in opposition. Around 51% say they want a large-scale military operation that expands north to Lebanon, with 30% citing only a limited operation is needed.
Dialog Center poll found that 86% of Israelis believe their government failed to prevent the Hamas attack. Almost everyone (94%) believes that the government needs to take responsibility for what occurred, with 75% believing the government holds the brunt of the burden. Over half (56%) want Netanyahu to resign as well as Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (52%).
How did Hamas enter Israel? The government has yet to explain how the Iron Dome failed. They have not explained the extended period of time it took for troops to reach the site where the invasion took place. No one has explained why the US and Israel just so happened to arrange an open visa program shortly before the attack, or why NSA members were trading Northcorp stock ahead of October 7. Again, Palestine does not have an official military. How on Earth could a group of non-professional fighters penetrate one of the tightest borders in the world? Many know the answer.
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Thank you for educating us about the Neocons. Your special report opened my eyes and should be taught in school. Lindsey Graham, on your list of Neocons, seems to be ignorant of anything to do with the Middle East. His Meet the Press was virtually a push to declare war on Iran. That will bring in Russia, which he seems to want, and Turkey will be drawn in, which has the largest arming in the region. Besides that, 20% of the world’s oil supply still passes through the Straits of Hormuz.
His proposal to attack Iran’s oil production to cut off funds for Hamas is idiotic. Iran has thousands of missiles, if not nukes. They are sophisticated in cyber warfare. That will create World War III.
Is there nobody in Washington to push back against the lack of understanding?
ANSWER: These Neocons are living under the false assumption that the United States is overwhelmingly powerful and that the entire world can be brought to its knees in a matter of days. Our active military is only 1.4 million compared to Russia and China, which are at 3.2 million. Even India has 1.5 million. They think because we are a major nuclear power, that nations will tremble when we say boo. Before this began, Iran had 610,000 active. Israel had just under 170,000. Sources say that Iran has had a flood of people rushing to sign up when they raised the black flag—perhaps 2 million.
If the US attacks Iran – that is World War III. This will take it from a regional war to a global war in a matter of hours. Then we have insane Neocons claiming NATO could defeat Russia in 3 days. This is insane. Then you have those looking at the Bible who have been writing in about Armageddon when those from the North invade into the Middle East. I seriously doubt that any of these Neocons believe in the Bible.
All these people ever preach is war – never peace.
The European Union (EU) has a new excuse to tighten travel restrictions. The European Commission published a report claiming five Caribbean states have sold “golden passports” citizenship to 88,000 individuals from around the globe, including China, Iran, and Russia.
“Investor citizenship schemes (or citizenship-by-investment programmes, also commonly referred to as “golden passports”) run by third countries with visa-free access to the EU may present a number of security risks for the EU. These schemes grant citizenship rights on the basis of local investments or against a flat fee, with low or no residence requirements, weak security checks and no genuine connection with the third country in question. The third countries concerned often advertise those schemes as ‘golden passports’ with the express purpose of allowing visa-free travel to the Union to third-country nationals that would otherwise be visa required,” the report states.
These are more than merely passports as they provide a path to visa-free travel to 60 nations. The Guardian reported that these passports have a starting price of $100,000. The EU report sets out for the first time the true scale of the Caribbean passport trade, with prices starting at $100,000 a head, leading me to believe that the people of these Caribbean nations are not the main buyers.
Not only is the price tag suspicious, but the sheer number does not make sense. The Dominican Republic alone sold 34,500 of these golden passports but has a population of only 72,000. In 2015, the EU permitted citizens of certain Caribbean islands to travel visa-free for up to 90 days. Visa-free travel to countries such as the EU and US is one of the key benefits advertised by Caribbean citizenship by investment schemes.
So, the European Union already announced that a mere passport will not grant people entry beginning in 2024. Those traveling to Europe must apply for authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) before their visit. Now, that restriction on free movement was implemented before the 88,000 golden passports came to light, so we can expect harsher restrictions. The European Commission now says it must overhaul regulations as it is concerned that these passports could be enabling the “infiltration of organized crime, money laundering, tax evasion, and corruption.” This is one of many reasons that I have warned travel will become increasingly difficult as we go down the long road to 2032.
Nikki Haley has made it clear that should would lead America straight into a nuclear war if elected president. She told Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu to “finish them” and proposed an all-out genocide as the solution to the conflict. “I say this to Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu: Finish them. Finish them. Hamas did this. You know Iran is behind it. Finish them,” she shouted, urging for an immediate escalation by including Iran and later China. Now, Haley believes that the Department of Defense should be changed to the Department of Offense.
America is seen as the aggressor in China and Russia. The Middle East believes America is the aggressor in the Israel-Palestine war, and has been since it sends billions off to Israel each year to fund their military. There can be no peace with a Neocon in charge. Haley mentions nothing of the near 5,000 people who have died in the past few weeks alone.
Hamas released two American hostages last week, and Haley is discouraging the safe release of the others through diplomatic negotiations. Does she want Hamas to kill off their remaining bargaining chips? “But let me tell you what I told the Biden administration today: Don’t fall for it,” Haley said. “… They are doing this to earn favor with America because they want to try and look good in the eyes of America. Don’t fall for it.”
Half of these 2024 US Presidential candidates speak more on foreign affairs than anything happening at home. Let us remember that America has not actively declared war, and no one is encroaching on US soil besides the millions of illegals we purposely allowed in. She is another America Last mindless political drone spewing globalist fantasies. “We’ve got to be smart, and we’ve got to be ready,” she said. “I’m tired of talking about a Department of Defense. I want a Department of Offense. Every enemy needs to fear us,” the Neocon demanded.
She is utterly clueless. The world sees that America has all the military might and funding. The world no longer fears America because we A) have extremely weak leadership and B) a completely divided nation. It matters not if we double funding the DoD because our commander-in-chief is senile, and those pulling the strings are incapable of bipartisan relations, let alone foreign relations. A staunch Neocon like Haley is incapable of thinking of the lives on the line or the repercussions of provoking our enemies. She should drop out of the race entirely if she wants any foreign nation to fear us once again as America needs a level-headed adult capable of tactful and strategic relations at this volatile point in history.
The climate change psy-ops has simply gone too far. Schwab’s World Economic Forum has become like a cult declaring our last days are ahead unless we abide by asinine laws. Those promoting the Great Reset have said countless times that WE will begin to eat bugs to save the planet, and meat will no longer be available to us. Now Tyson Foods announced it acquired a minority stake in the bug protein startup company, Protix.
According to the company’s website:“Protix is the world leader in insect ingredients. We believe that feeding the growing world population should go hand in hand with protecting our beautiful planet. A huge challenge! Fortunately, the solution lies in nature itself: insects provide low-footprint proteins and other nutrients that can be processed into more sustainable feed and food.”
The website goes on to claim:“Why do we love insect ingredients? Because they’re the answer to many of the problems the world is facing today. Insect ingredients have a lower footprint than many of the ingredients commonly used in feed and food. Our insects need very little room to grow, making for far less land use than traditional ingredients. They also need less water and have lower CO₂ emissions. Plus… insects are nature’s greatest ‘upcyclers’ and thus a natural solution to the huge problem of food waste.”
Tyson said it will begin to normalize the consumption of bugs by placing it in pet food, aquaculture, and livestock production. The company will “upcycle food manufacturing byproducts into high-quality insect proteins and lipids.”So they even want to fill the animals we eat with insects and change their diets as well. Grand View Research stated that insect protein consumption will grow by 27.4% by 2028, a half cycle before 2032, when the people rise up and demand change. Governments want us sick and helpless.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell requested for CBS to travel to his office in DC so that he could visibly show support for the Biden administration spending effort on behalf of Ukraine, Israel and Gaza. McConnell noted in the interview on the policy agenda for these priorities, he and Joe Biden are in direct agreement.
At the 08:32 moment, Mitch McConnell is questioned about his health and says he is healthy, “in good shape and completely recovered.” WATCH:
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has not done many interviews this year, but he invited us to Capitol Hill Friday to talk about President Biden’s request to Congress for $100 billion in aid for Ukraine, Israel and US border security. And that’s where our conversation began.
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL: We have big power competition from China, and Russia and we still have terrorism problems, as the Israelis have certainly experienced in a brutal way in the last week. So I think that requires a worldwide approach rather than trying to take parts of it out. It’s all connected. The Chinese and the Russians said they’re now friends forever. Iranian drones are being used in Ukraine and against the Israelis.
MARGARET BRENNAN: There’s resistance among some Republicans, including here in the Senate, about bundling things together. Is it possible to pass Ukraine aid if it’s not tied to Israel?
SEN. MCCONNELL: I just think that’s a mistake. I mean, I know there are some Republicans in the Senate, and maybe more in the House, saying Ukraine is somehow different. I view it as all interconnected.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And you’ve said that you believe there is enough oversight of aid to Ukraine. Why hasn’t that persuaded some members of the- of the Republican caucus? SEN. MCCONNELL: If you look at the Ukraine assistance, let’s- let’s talk about where the money is really going. A significant portion of its being spent in the United States in 38 different states, replacing the weapons that we sent to Ukraine with more modern weapons. So we’re rebuilding our industrial base.
MARGARET BRENNAN: That’s what President Biden is seeking to do.
SEN. MCCONNELL: It’s- it’s correct. No Americans are getting killed in Ukraine. We’re rebuilding our industrial base. The Ukrainians are destroying the army of one of our biggest rivals. I have a hard time finding anything wrong with that. I think it’s wonderful that they’re defending themselves- and also the notion that the Europeans are not doing enough. They’ve done almost 90 billion dollars, they’re housing a bunch of refugees who escaped. I think that our NATO allies in Europe have done quite a lot.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You sound like you have a lot in common with President Biden, and his worldview, based on what you just laid out.
SEN. MCCONNELL: Well, not on the domestic side, but on this issue that we- we’re discussing today, we’re generally in the same place.
MARGARET BRENNAN: On the issue of Israel, that does seem to be a unifying issue for many Republicans, and I want to ask you about this 10 billion dollar request the President is making. Do you think there needs to be any provisions in there that would account for the risk of human rights- human rights violations in Gaza?
SEN. MCCONNELL: Well, we want to make sure we’re not sending money to Hamas. I can tell you that. But there are genuine humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza who are not Hamas, who’ve been thrown under the bus by what Hamas did. Innocent people. But we want to be careful about how the money is spent, be sure it actually gets where it’s supposed to get.
MARGARET BRENNAN: For any military aid that’s going to Israel right now, do you think there needs to be- need to be strings attached?
SEN. MCCONNELL: Israel is our strongest ally in the world. We trust them, and we have a very tight relationship with them both on the intelligence side and the military side. So I don’t think the kind of oversight we’re talking about for Ukraine, for example, would be necessary for Israel.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You know, to do all of these things you need a partner in Congress. Senator Welch said, you are the only Republican negotiator right now, because of all the disarray in the House. How can you deliver on this at a time when you’re saying it’s essential?
SEN. MCCONNELL: Well, I hope we’re going to have a speaker sometime soon and we–
MARGARET BRENNAN: Before November 17th, when government funding-
SEN. MCCONNELL: We need one. We need one because the House can’t do anything without a speaker. And it’s a- it’s a problem, but I hope it’s gonna get solved pretty quickly.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Is there anyone in the House who can lead the Republicans?
SEN. MCCONNELL: Look, I’m not an expert on the House. I have my hands full here in the Senate, and we’re gonna do our job and hope the House can get functional here sometime soon.
MARGARET BRENNAN: There is no current U.S. ambassador to Israel right now. And some of your Republican colleagues have voiced concerns about President Biden’s nominee. Do you have concerns about Jack Lew?
SEN. MCCONNELL: He is a very controversial nominee because of his relationship with the Iran nuclear deal, which was opposed by everybody in my party. And by the way, I hope that flirtation with Iran is finally over with regard to the nuclear deal. And Senator Cotton and I also have a bill to freeze the 6 billion dollars that was on the way to the Iranians in relation to the hostage release, so-
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, it’s in Qatar, the White House says Iran hasn’t been able to make any withdrawals from it.
SEN. MCCONNELL: Yeah, but we’d like to make it law so that it can’t be undone. Look, I think we need to get tougher with Iran. And I do think the weakness of both the Obama administration and the Biden administration, is the thought that somehow we could do business with Iran on something. And I think it’s pretty clear we can’t. I mean, they’re funding Hezbollah, Hamas, creating problems all over the Middle East, and we shouldn’t be doing any business with them.
MARGARET BRENNAN: President Biden said that he’s going to hold Iran accountable. What do you think that means?
SEN. MCCONNELL: Yeah well, I think the proof will be – what are we going to do to hold them accountable? And that’s- it’s got to be credible. You- you can’t on the one hand, be negotiating with Iran on some kind of nuclear deal that you know they won’t keep, and then turn around and declare that you’re going to get tougher with Iran. I think, number one, quit talking to the Iranians about any kind of nuclear deal. Number two, don’t give them the $6 billion. Number three, back up the Israelis in every conceivable way, after this attack by Iran-sponsored Hamas.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You-you oppose all diplomacy with Iran?
SEN. MCCONNELL: It’s not a question of whether you ever talk to them or not. But it’s a question- what do you do? What do you do? And clearly, the nuclear deal that the Obama administration agreed to and the Biden administration tried to reconnect is- is not the way to go. There’s an axis of evil in the world: China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. And we need to stand up to the axis of evil, not try to do business with them.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you as well about the moment here in Washington that we are in. A number of members of Congress, including Representatives Miller-Meeks, Ferguson, Bacon, Ken Buck, have said just this week that they have had death threats against them. How concerned are you about violence against lawmakers working here?
SEN. MCCONNELL: Well, I think there have been more threats lately, and I am concerned about it.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Are you concerned about more political violence? Going into an election year here?
SEN. MCCONNELL: Look, I think since 9/11, and January 6th, we’ve had heightened security here at the Capitol. I’m sure we’re a target for all kinds of evil doers both in the United States and abroad.
MARGARET BRENNAN: People wonder about your health, how are you feeling? How are you doing?
SEN. MCCONNELL: I’m fine. I’m completely recovered, and I’m just fine.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You and your office felt the need to share and disclose some of the details about your health because of some of these public incidents. And the doctor here said there was no evidence of Parkinson’s disease or a stroke or- or a seizure. And I wonder, is there anything the public should know that wasn’t disclosed?
SEN. MCCONNELL: I’m in good shape, completely recovered and back on the job.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So does that mean that you think you are able to continue serving, and you want to continue serving here at a time when we are talking about incredible dysfunction in Washington?
SEN. MCCONNELL: I think we ought to be talking about what we were talking about earlier, rather than my health.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You’ve made clear you have a lot of policy disagreements with the former president, Donald Trump. Doesn’t it trouble you that he is the front runner for the Republican nomination, given the questions he has raised about aid for Ukraine, for example?
SEN. MCCONNELL: I’m not going to comment on the various candidates for president on either side. I’ve got my hands full here in the Senate.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Former Secretary of Defense Gates told us this is one of the most dangerous moments that he has ever seen for our country. And we’re talking about the basic functioning of our democracy being a problem right now. I’ll ask you, again, who can lead the Republican Party, not just in the House, but to deliver on the vision that you are laying out here?
SEN. MCCONNELL: Typically, it’s the candidate for president, when you have a presidential election, who becomes obviously the most visible person in your party. And we don’t know who that’s going to be. In the meantime, we have divided government, we have a job to do, the election is not until next year. Dabbling in the presidential election is something I’m just not going to do. I don’t think it’s productive.
