Hillary vs Trump Cartoon

The press is starting to actually report that Biden is losing it. This is how they float a balloon to see if it will fly. The August Democratic Convention has been rumored for some time that they will DRAFT someone else to replace Biden. He swore he would never debate Trump. This may be setting the stage for him to step aside. The Neocons are delighted with Hillary, for she has been among the Neocons all along. She will have no problem nuking Russia.

This will certainly make things interesting. Bill Clinton actually had cigar sex with an intern in the Oval Office when he was President! There was a phone call when he was getting a Hummer, and he commented on the phone that he was sitting on the floor in the Oval Office on the seal of the USA at that moment.

As the Washington story went, that is why the Republicans made a big deal out of his actions. Everyone had encounters with staff or lobbyists. The staff of John McCain was very concerned about him and a lobbyist. However, Bill Clinton lied to the American people about it on national television. He paid off Paula Jones $850,000. That was far more than Trump paid Stormy Daniels, who was NOT even an intern as Monaca and the famous blue dress. Vlinton’s $850,000 payment to get rid of a sexual harassment claim while he’s President had NO criminal court charges for what was the same thing. Why was Clinton deemed exempt from what happened with Trump and Stormy?”

2024 election

The Democrats have been praying that the Criminal Convictions of Trump on these issues, which have nothing to do with his performance as President, are greatly disappointing. People are seeing through this onslaught against Trump, which the Neocons keep pushing for World War III ASAP. A vote for the Democrats is clearly a vote for war. If Hillary gets in, you better dig a bunker real deal under your house.

The polling averages haven’t budged in the direction that Democrats were hoping. At RealClearPolitics, Trump led Biden in head-to-head matchups by 0.8 percent on May 30, the day of the guilty verdict. Now, his lead is at 1.1 percent. In five-way surveys that include minor candidates, Trump’s lead at RCP has dropped from 2.2 percent on May 30 to 2.1 percent now. FiveThirtyEight’s average of polls that include Biden, Trump, and Kennedy show the Republican’s lead slipping marginally from 1.7 percent on May 30 to 1.4 percent now.

Our computer has projected a Republican win on 4 out of 6 models. Two are quite dramatic. I still cannot see how the Neocons will allow Trump to win. There goes their dream of World War III. We are running our models on the likely outcome. This may end up being very surprising to many. We will let you know when it is ready.

Ukraine the Expendable Vanguard for World War III

The US dollar continues to soar against the Ukrainian Hryvnia despite all the propaganda desperately trying to pretend Ukraine can win and survive. The entire purpose of the Ukraine proxy war against Russia has been to kill as many Russians as possible to further expand the U.S. and NATO’s conventional superiority over Russia. This has been the strategy in play that the West can conquer Russia and divide it up and that Putin will never fire a nuclear weapon. Ukraine has been the vanguard viewed as expendable.

1 WSJ Ukraine Debt

Anyone with Ukrainian debt should sell before it is worthless. It is already in crash mode. This will all be defaulted on in the end.

Ukraine_Hryvnia Y Array 5 17 24

Our computer clearly shows that Ukraine will not survive this as a nation-state. This has not by any means benefited the Ukrainian people. This is why Zelensky suspended any election, for he knew he would be removed from office. Look at the Yearly Array. Ukraine is flat-lining. They are EXPENDABLE no matter what the propaganda of the Western press puts out on command from a central office, just as PRAVDA did for the USSR. This is NOT my personal opinion.

IBEUUS Y FOR 3 29 2017

This was the Forecast Array for the Euro from 2016. Note that 2018 was the reaction high, while 2019 was the lowest yearly closing, and 2020 was the intraday COVID low, with the bounce into 2021, which was a turning point with a Panic Cycle. The Euro reaction high was 1.235 in 2021, and it crashed in 2022, bottoming at 0.941. Note that the volatility would rise in 2024, and 2025 is a turning point, with the next target being 2027.

The West has threatened Russia that just one nuke in Ukraine would unleash all nuclear weapons pointed at Russia. Their rhetoric is unbelievable. They present to the media that they out-finance, out-gun, and out-man Russia in a direct confrontation with NATO. They act that they alone can wipe Russia off the face of the earth without a single shot from Russia. These world leaders no longer represent the people. No one even wants to de-escalate this march toward World War III.

Russia_is_ready_for_nuclear_war_Putin_warns_the_West 6 3 24

Russia has made it clear that it is prepared for a Nuclear War, which the West is constantly crossing every red line Putin has drawn. Based on my sources, Russia has about 1,710 deployed nuclear warheads. These are based on a triad of strategic delivery vehicles roughly consisting of 326 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), 12 ballistic-missile submarines (SSBNs) with 192 submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and 58 strategic bombers.

Russia has not exchanged official data with the United States about the structure of its strategic nuclear forces since 2023. Those same nongovernmental sources put the United States nuclear forces at around 1,770 deployed nuclear warheads. China has been building and modernizing its nuclear  arsenal at an unprecedented pace. Reasonable estimates place that with a minimum of 500 warheads, it is expected to grow to 1,000 by 2030. The combination of China and Russia clearly outnumbers the USA and Europe.

1 Zircon Hypersonic Missile Launch

That said, the number of warheads is only one measure. Russia has developed both space weapons that can take out the targeting satellites and its advanced hypersonic missiles that most experts say are virtually impossible to shoot down. Back in 2022, Putin made it clear that Russia would start to deploy more hypersonic weapons, noting that the first warship equipped with state-of-the-art Zircon hypersonic missiles was commissioned in 2022.

Hypersonic Missile

The USA is exploring how to defend itself against hypersonic missiles. One theory is the exploration of “boundary layer phenomenology,” which is the idea that disrupting the airflow surrounding a hypersonic projectile may throw it off course. Disrupting the airflow may send it off course, but it will still hit something. The other hope is to deploy lower-flying networked satellites in an effort to establish a continuous targeting track of an approaching hypersonic weapon. This can be seriously compromised by taking out the US targeting satellites.As of now, there is no defense is that a hypersonic projectile that will travel much too fast to track them because it will move from one radar aperture to another, making it virtually impossible to establish a consistent targeting track or lock.

Russia New Test

Then Russia tested a new supersonic version of a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on April 12th, 2024. This is capable of attacking NATO and the USA undetected. The Russian Ministry of Defence only claimed this was part of “state testing of prospective missile systems, as well as confirmation of the stability of missiles in service.” This has caused chatter down the line when the Neocons are pushing for war.

BrahMos_The_Mach_3_Supersonic_Missile_Russia_and_India_Built_Together

Then there is the BrahMos missile, a two-stage supersonic cruise missile with a range of 290 kilometers that was developed jointly by India and Russia. India has been leaning also more in the direction of Russia rather than the US/British/NATO direction. China has developed supersonic spy drones that have been gathering intelligence on US positions in the Asian arena.

1 2024_06_03_19_07_31_US_tests_hypersonic_missile

The USA has been testing hypersonic missiles as it tries to catch up with Russia, India, and China. However, the USA is well behind Russia in supersonic defense and offense. This is the REAL story behind the propaganda that makes great headlines that the West can turn Russia to ashes before they even launch a single missile.

Ukraine_drone_targets_second_Russian_long_range_military_radar 5 27 24

This Ukrainian Proxy War has introduced drone warfare. This is different altogether. Ukraine targeted with drones Russia’s strategic air defense radar system that has NOTHING to do with Ukraine. It was part of the Russian nuclear defense system, just as the USA has NORAD to detect Russian missiles that would launched at the USA. WHY did Ukraine do this when it had nothing to do with Ukraine? Was this to try to open a window for the USA/NATO to launch a sneak nuclear attack on Russia?

1 _Ukraine Drone ECONOMIST

Ukraine has used new AI software called Eagle Eyes that allows drones to fly without GPS, limiting the impact of Russian jamming. The software allows unmanned drones to travel using sight rather than satellite-based GPS navigation. Additionally, drones fly at low altitudes and slow speeds. The radar systems used by the USA and Russia can be defeated with slow-moving drones that follow a program of the terrane and use AI technology to see, thereby correcting its course if needed. The successful attack using drones to destroy the early warning system of Russia opens yet another attack path. You can create a nuclear-capable drone to defeat all the radar systems, rendering everyone vulnerable.

2 kamikaze_killer_robots

Add to this a kamikaze robot that will kill anything that moves. This Ukraine War is a petri dish for advancing warfare. We are getting closer and closer to the potential for the likes of Terminator.

I have never witnessed such arrogance and stupidity merge. The rest of the world is watching, and they know very well that the West is the greatest threat to world peace – that is what the BRICS countries are all about. They will NOT stand by and watch the West annihilate Russia and then turn on their next target until they have wiped out everyone who has ever disagreed with them. Only a fool can not see that China, North Korea, Iran, and many others will stand by Russia because their enemy, the West, is their enemy as well. While the NEOCONs this a victory will be 33% of the USA surviving, our computer does NOT see a victory for the USA and indeed Europe.

The European People’s Party (EPP) is leading in the polls for the election on June 6 – 9, and they are the warmongers of Europe. In fact, the head of the EPP has gone as far as to state that the EU must be ready for war without US. They have stated that they stand with Ukraine and are prepared to sacrifice all of Europe for Ukraine.

Nuclear Launch Button R

The West, at the direction of the Neocons, has blown up Nord Stream and launched every possible sanction to destroy Russia financially.

  • The West has tried for more than two years to cripple Moscow’s finances by way of sanctions.

The strategy is to try to intimidate Russia into allowing NATO to destroy them without nuclear war. They are insane. If you had a gun and someone busts into your house unarmed, will you do nothing?

The World is a Stage – Zelensky on Dancing with the Stars (2006)


Posted ORIGINALLY ON Jun 1, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

This man is neither a politician nor a leader. He is a comedian, an actor who scored his leading role after being hired by the West to act as if he were the president of Ukraine. The world is one giant stage.

NATO Escalation – Biden Approves Ukraine to Use U.S Missiles and Weapons to Strike Inside Russia


Posted originally on the CTH on May 31, 2024 | Sundance

According to Politico and the New York Times the Biden administration has given Ukraine approval to launch U.S provided missiles into Russia.  {LINK} This is a major escalation of NATO engagement, likely intended to provoke Russia to strike alternate targets.  The people inside Ukraine responsible for using these U.S. provided weapons are likely not Ukranian.

CTH is in an unusually serendipitous position to analyze how Russia is responding to this shift in USA position.  The morale inside Russia is very high amid the military age population.  The recruitment efforts of the Russian government appear to be numerous and very effective.

There are thousands of newly enlisted military personnel very visible in/around training facilities.  There is no apparent tension discernable. Overall Russia appears to take great pride in their military, and it is considered a matter of honor and pride to support them.

WASHINGTON – The Biden administration has quietly given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia — solely near the area of Kharkiv — using U.S.-provided weapons, two U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the move said Thursday, a major reversal that will help Ukraine to better defend its second-largest city.

“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use U.S. weapons for counter-fire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” a U.S. official said, adding that the policy of not allowing long-range strikes inside Russia “has not changed.”

[…] In effect, Ukraine can now use American-provided weapons, such as rockets and rocket launchers, to shoot down launched Russian missiles heading toward Kharkiv, at troops massing just over the Russian border near the city, or Russian bombers launching bombs toward Ukrainian territory. But the official said Ukraine cannot use those weapons to hit civilian infrastructure or launch long-range missiles, such as the Army Tactical Missile System, to hit military targets deep inside Russia.

It’s a stunning shift the administration initially said would escalate the war by more directly involving the U.S. in the fight. But worsening conditions for Ukraine on the battlefield –– namely Russia’s advances and improved position in Kharkiv –– led the president to change his mind. (read more)

You can tell from the general vibe amid the officials of government, Russia is not playing around with their military approach toward previous NATO encroachment or the provocations by the U.S.  The sense is that Russia is in this for the long haul and their structural changes in the aftermath of the sanction regime are not temporary.  Russians overall are hard and resilient to the reality of things as they are, not as they would wish them to be.

Russia appears to be entirely prepared financially, sociologically and economically to remain disconnected from the “West.”  Asia and India are filling the economic void created by Western sanctions.  Amid ordinary life, the general Russian sentiment seems to be one of acceptance to the geopolitical isolation.

In recent weeks the push toward further conflict with Russia seemed to be diminishing; however, this direct action by Biden and the State Dept puts the USA (NATO) in a more aggressive posture.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban opposes the escalation by NATO.

WASHINGTON – […] During a Friday interview on state radio, Orbán said that French President Emmanuel Macron’s stance that he wouldn’t rule out sending troops to Ukraine, as well as a NATO proposal that would allow Kyiv to strike military bases inside Russia with sophisticated long-range weapons provided by Western partners, risked escalating the war in Ukraine into a global conflict.

“War is a monster that is constantly hungry, it must be fed, and it must be fed with money. And I see that the Americans and the Democratic government of the United States, and the leaders of the European Union, are ready to feed it,” he said. (read more)

Neocons Favor Nuclear War


Posted originally on May 28, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Nuclear Bomb

Japan has recently condemned US neocons for speaking favorably of nuclear war. The United States was the first nation to use an atomic bomb during a war, hitting the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945. Nearly a quarter of a million people were instantly killed, while countless others suffered medical consequences for generations to come.

The Manhattan Project may have led Japan to surrender, rightfully so, as such destruction was previously unfathomable. The effects shocked the international community, and the threat of using another nuclear explosive has been the largest threat during times of war. There have been countless peace agreements and pledges to learn from past mistakes, but as the next world war rapidly approaches, the neocons have signaled that they would be willing to implode cities and civilizations.

Graham Lindsey b 1955

Why is it OK for America to drop two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end their existential threat war? … I thought it was OK,” Graham said in an NBC News program. “That was the right decision.” Graham then hinted at Israel doing whatever it needs to do “to survive as a Jewish state.”

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi called Graham’s statements “extremely regrettable.” The nuclear bombings “took many precious lives, caused (a number of) people to suffer unspeakable hardships such as illnesses and brought about an extremely regrettable humanitarian situation,” they drastically understated.

I have seen comments justifying the use of the atomic bombs in 1945 due to the cruelty of the Japanese Imperial forces. Do they realize that CIVILIANS were the primary victims of these nuclear weapons? What’s more – the majority of developed nations now have this power. America nuked Japan and the world fell silent. If someone were to drop a nuclear bomb today, the repercussions would be untold. Not only do developed nations have nuclear weapons, but they have them carefully positioned throughout the world and ready to launch at a moment’s notice.

Russia recently attempted to push an international treaty to ban weapons in space but was denied. The neocons WILL risk as many lives as possible, and now we know with certainty that the establishment is not above using nuclear weapons once again. We have experienced wars, but never nuclear wars. The damage and loss of life is unfathomable.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban Seeks Exit from NATO Conflict with Russia


Posted originally on the CTH on May 25, 2024 | Sundance

The position of Hungary in the Ukraine vs Russia conflict has been consistently pragmatic.  Ukraine is NOT a NATO country, and when the USA essentially demanded that all NATO member states join in a unified mission against Russia, to promote the specific interests of the United States, it never made sense.

Hungary has maintained a consistent position that NATO is a defensive partnership that should not seek conflict and war outside its member state boundaries.  However, the USA has previously used its leadership role in NATO to pressure member states to join in conflict outside the NATO boundaries, ie. Iraq and Libya.

In the modern era (since Obama), the former left-wing peacenik movement has reversed position and are now the leading advocates for global war. Democrats, leftists, globalists and various trade union organizations, who have supported the merge of government with corporations, now advocate for all positions that advance war and general international conflict.  As a consequence, NATO is now an offensive weapon; that’s the contextual background.

The USA has created a proxy state with exploitation and control over Ukraine.  Russia has responded to the USA control over Ukraine by force.  The USA now wants to create war with Russia using NATO as the offensive weapon. Hungary does not want to participate in this NATO offensive position.  This puts Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on the outside of the NATO alliance group and a direct target of the USA.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary will seek to opt out of any NATO operations aimed at supporting Ukraine, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Friday, suggesting that the military alliance and the European Union were moving toward a more direct conflict with Russia.

Orbán told state radio that Hungary opposes a plan NATO is weighing to provide more predictable military support to Ukraine in coming years to repel Moscow’s full-scale invasion, as better armed Russian troops assert control on the battlefield.

“We do not approve of this, nor do we want to participate in financial or arms support (for Ukraine), even within the framework of NATO,” Orbán said, adding that Hungary has taken a position as a “nonparticipant” in any potential NATO operations to assist Kyiv.

“We’ve got to redefine our position within the military alliance, and our lawyers and officers are working on … how Hungary can exist as a NATO member while not participating in NATO actions outside of its territory,” he said. (read more)

Watch the cryptocurrency market to determine which side of the influence war is winning.

The most influential bankers and corporations are generally aligned with the West.  If the needle pushes toward increased conflict with Russia, the value of crypto will drop.

The non-globalist nation states, and the new formation of BRICS as a global trade alternative, are less and less dependent on the West; they are also diminishing the influence of the dollar within their assembly.  If the needle pushes away from conflict with Russia, the value of crypto will increase.

Crypto dropping indicates WEF valuations leaning toward a NATO war with Russia.  Crypto increasing in value indicates WEF discussion leaning away from a NATO war with Russia.  Other financial datapoints, the best predictor of geopolitical movement, also fit this general overview.

(Via Politico) –  Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Friday his country was looking to redefine its membership in NATO to ensure the country cannot be involved in operations outside of the military alliance’s territory.

“Now a new term has been invented to describe the Hungarian position in NATO, it is called non-participation. We are not a participant now,” Orbán said in an interview with Kossuth Radio, according to a report by Hungarian news portal Telex.

“There is the term opt-out … If we were opt-outs, our participation in NATO’s military structure, our position, would change,” Orbán was quoted as saying.

The Hungarian leader said lawyers are working on how Hungary can exist as a member of NATO and not participate in the alliance’s action outside NATO territory, according to the report.

“There’s no question of NATO getting involved in wars outside its territory, with non-NATO countries,” Orbán was quoted as saying. (more)

Oddly, as I watch more obscure data that few pay attention to, the Biden administration seems to have somewhat backed away from promoting direct war with Russia.  It’s still too early to tell exactly what is happening on this shift, but in the last 10 days things shifted.

Perhaps the CIA/USAID failures in Hungary, Moldova and now Georgia are having some more immediate influence on U.S. policy.  I’m not sure why the CIA/State Dept would be having more difficulty in the past few weeks, but something has shifted in the direction of making war with Russia less likely.

One of the recent datapoints that is shifting the needle away from war, is the change in USA position about seizing Russian assets.

(VIA POLITICO) – Russian state assets were frozen in Europe immediately after President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. They have since been invested and are earning interest. After months of disagreement, the U.S has scaled back its original plan to seize the assets in their entirety and instead use the interest as leverage for a loan.

The EU has more skin in the game because it holds the bulk of Russia’s frozen assets, while U.S. banks only keep a negligible amount of funds.

“We still need to understand the different options,” said German Finance Minister Christian Lindner. “We need to assess the economic, legal consequences so it’s much too early to be concrete on some of the elements of such an instrument.”

After months of disagreement, the finance ministers gathering in Italy tried to show a united front, but cracks emerged as EU counties showed only lukewarm support for the plan. (more)
