Lukashenko

ANSWER: Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, who is up for re-election in 2025, signed a law in January that grants him lifelong immunity from criminal prosecution. Lukashenko “cannot be held accountable for actions committed in connection with exercising his presidential powers” under the new legislation. Undoubtedly, this law was propelled by America’s persecution of Donald Trump and other world leaders who are not adhering to Western policies.

The war in Ukraine has place Lukashenko under pressure once again due to Belarus aiding neighboring Russia. The nations strategic placement bordering both Ukraine and Russia has made it a strategic stronghold for Russian troops, and more importantly, nuclear weapons. Belarus remained neutral during the 2014 Crimean conflict and attempted to act as a mediator between Ukraine and Russia.

Lukashenko has faced countless controversies during his 30-year reign. The August 2020 Belarusian election sparked massive civil unrest as many of his opponents believed the election was rigged in his favor. Russia aided Belarus during the 2020 political upheaval that saw tens of thousands of protestors arrested. Belarus had fallen out of the West’s good graces long ago, but its COVID response prompted further distain from the Build Back Better, World Economic Forum allied nations. Lukashenko’s government was one of the last to impost restrictions and those restrictions were far more lenient than the guidelines presented by world health agencies.

Most importantly, Belarus did not implement mandatory vaccinations for COVID. Lukashenka was accused of human rights abuses as his nation held the lowest vaccination rate in all of Europe with fewer than 21.2% of the population receiving the mRNA vaccine. The vaccine was available, but people were not threatened or coerced into taking it. Taking it a step further, his administration did not trust the vaccines produced in the West and only offered varieties provided by Russia and China. Lukashenka called the pandemic response a “mass psychosis,” refused to lockdown his people, and suggested holistic methods opposed to the vaccine.

The West has imposed numerous sanctions on Belarus for aiding Russia, but the economic impact has been cushioned by Moscow’s willingness to repay its ally with energy subsidies that exceeded $15 billion in 2022. It is in Belarus’ best interest to remain loyal as two-thirds of all imports and exports are with Russia.

I can discuss the Belarus-Russia alliance in further detail if there is interest. To address the original request, President Lukashenko did, in fact, receive a bribe from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank in 2020 to persuade him to impose COVID restrictions. As mentioned in my original post, the president revealed this bribe through the Belarusian Telegraph Agency, BelTA. In exchange for a $940 million bribe, the World Bank and IMF demanded that the president of Belarus:

  • impose “extreme lockdown on his people”
  • force them to wear face masks
  • impose very strict curfews
  • impose a police state
  • crash the economy

These are the president’s own claims. The world health agencies lost legitimacy when Belarusians had a LOWER death rate from COVID-19 than the rest of Europe. Belarus began testing efforts when the technology was available. Those who bought into the psyop refuse to acknowledge that lockdown measures did nothing to stop the spread. People simply do not want to believe that the COVID restrictions were completely unnecessary and only contributed to higher death rates and crippled economies.

American Special Forces in Taiwan for Permanent Training


Posted originally on Mar 2, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Taiwan ECM 2

Specialists from the US Army are training Taiwanese soldiers in what is described as a permanent arrangement rather than on a rotational basis, including on an island just six miles from the Chinese coast, according to Taiwan’s United Daily News (UDN). This is the clever way to claim that the US is NOT stationing troops there in Taiwan, but they are there ONLY for training purposes, as was the case in Ukraine. The training regimens were being planned and supervised by the 1st Special Forces Group, an airborne unit, under the provisions of last year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which was signed into law in December 2022.

There are also reports that American troops are there in Israel as well.

Does Trump Want to Damage Ukraine?


Posted originally on Mar 1, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Trump.Ukraine.Lose_

The media is very calculated with how it spins stories to shape the public perception. Donald Trump has said that his first piece of legislation, if elected, would entail ending the war in Ukraine immediately. One would think people would cheer for the end of a war that has claimed thousands of lives. Instead, the media is painting Trump as a former Soviet communist in disguise who wants Ukraine to lose the war.

The Atlantic published a propaganda piece entitled, “Why Is Trump Trying to Make Ukraine Lose?” The article goes on to say that Republicans are flying to Mar-A-Lago to take instructions from the former president before implementing policies that block aid to Ukraine. The author states that Trump is hell-bent on “damaging Ukraine” without a clear motive.

“In the week that the border compromise failed, I happened to meet a senior European Union official visiting Washington. He asked me if congressional Republicans realized that a Russian victory in Ukraine would discredit the United States, weaken American alliances in Europe and Asia, embolden China, encourage Iran, and increase the likelihood of invasions of South Korea or Taiwan. Don’t they realize? Yes, I told him, they realize.”

The author goes on to say that the collective of the European Union, 27 countries and counting, donate more to Ukraine than America. This is false, especially when looking at America’s backing of NATO.

The article speculates widely on Trump’s anti-Ukraine motives, with fantastical theories from wanting a piece of Russia’s lucrative oil market to damaging what remains of Joe Biden’s reputation. Liz Cheney receives praise for understanding the severity of the situation in Ukraine and promoting the anti-Russian ideology of her father. This is one of countless articles condemning anyone who believes the war in Ukraine is unjust and believes domestic policies should outweigh foreign interests.

Zelensky.Trump_.VeryDangerous

Trump is described as an “isolationist,” which to the left means not adhering to the globalist ideology of sacrificing one’s own nation under the premise of a centralized, one-world ruling power. It would be more appropriate to describe Trump as a nationalist who ensures his own nation is strong before offering help to others. You cannot pour out of an empty cup.

We saw groundbreaking diplomatic relations under Trump. He was the first US president to cross the DMZ zone into North Korea, he maintained peaceful relations with Putin, and although he had quarrels over trade with China, the CCP respected him as the leader of the free world. We experienced four years of peace.

Stretching America’s resources thin does not embolden our enemies. This was never our war. The US would not be “discredited” for backing away from an endless war and focusing on its own borders, a topic never discussed by far-left Democrats. Money is power, and sending blank checks to Ukraine further deepens America’s national debt, which continues to make record highs.

There were no discussions of war under Trump’s presidency. Trump does not have a grudge against Ukraine nor does he want to see it fall. His entire campaign is to “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” by redirecting the nation’s resources back to America. Desiring a strong America is now seen as problematic by a portion of the population who does not understand the severity of fanning the flames of war.

The Ukrainian people have nothing to gain in this senseless war. Tens of thousands of soldiers are dead, with the replenishment rate so high that Zelensky has resorted to conscripting 16-year-old boys. Zelensky ordered soldiers to their deaths, all to pretend he was winning for fear that the money would stop flowing. I received a lot of backlash for declaring that Ukraine cannot win this war. A Ukrainian victory was never the objective for the neocons like Liz Cheney. It does not matter how much money we send to Ukraine, as the outcome will not change. All we can do is decide how many more people must die fighting an impossible war before the vultures swoop in to claim what remains.

War & the ECM


Posted originally on Feb 29, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

ECM Wave 2020 2028 Pi

QUESTION: You have been the only analyst who has been correct that there would be no recession that just about everyone had forecast for the last two years. A friend turned me on to you and said mainstream media will never quote you because you do not play by their rules.

I had to present to our board and explain why we needed to switch to your services. They were impressed with your track record. The number one question that arose was that you said there is no recession until after May 7th. The latest statistics from the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s real-time GDP tracker have climbed back up to 3.1% for February, confirming your model has been correct all along. There has been no retreat in consumer confidence in February.

Will consumer confidence contract because of war, which appears to be inevitable? I assume this will be the topic at your London conference in May.

Thank you for your objective model. The world needs your analysis.

Uncertainty

ANSWER: The elite are on a fast train to create war. They think this will not be nuclear, but I fear the darker forces are looking at war as the means to reduce the population by 50% to save their precious planet and reduce CO2. They are honestly sick individuals. They never tell the truth. ALWAYS – more civilians die in war than soldiers,

With the prospect of war, UNCERTAINTY enters the equation. That results in consumer spending being reduced and savings increasing. I have warned that these people are desperate to create war to influence the 2024 election. The media is all on board, cheering war just as they did with COVID-19. You have Victoria Nuland calling anyone who is against war is now a Putin supporter. She has labeled the Republicans who are against war a “Putin’s wing of the Republican Party.” She is on a mission to create World War III before Trump might become president, who is anti-war and will fire her ASAP.

The mainstream media is all pushing for war. Just look at the stats. World War I saw 9 to 11 million military personnel dead, with civilian deaths of about 6 to 13 million. World War II was by far the deadliest military conflict in human history, with a total estimated death total of 70–85 million people. The civilian deaths totaled 50–55 million. Because you cannot grow food during such events, there were an additional estimated 19–28 million deaths from famine. That was 3% of the 2.3 billion at the time. Today, the world population is 8.1 billion. They used the COVID-19 vaccines to alter the herd. But war is always the best means to reduce the population. If they eliminate just 3%, that would be nearly 250 million. They want to reduce a lot more than that.

The Elites Want War to Reduce the Population ASAP for Climate Change


Posted originally on Feb 28, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

This entire conflict was manufactured by the American Neocons led by John McCain and Victoria Nuland.

McCain Climate Change

It was McCain who started the Climate Change agenda on Capital Hill, and it had nothing to do with the planet. He was arguing against fossil fuels to cut off Russia’s energy sales. It was never about the climate, but they tell a lie often enough; as Hitler’s head of propaganda asserted, it will soon become the truth.

That strategy is working well in every aspect. They used it against Trump as well. Victoria Nuland is using it against anyone who is against war. She is running around calling them “Putin’s wing of the Republican Party.” The Democrats always start the wars, and the Republicans have to end them. That was Nixon’s pledge to end Vietnam; he was elected with over 60%. The exception was when Dick Chaney ran the White House and put his company, Haliburton, in charge; he invaded Iraq on the lie that he had weapons of mass destruction when the object was to seize the oil wells. His daughter is so against Trump and pro-war it must be a family tradition.

McCain and Lindsey Graham were caught on video preaching war with Russia.

Then you had Lindsey Graham boasting that sending all this money to Ukraine was the best Congress ever spent to kill Russians if he said that in the USA, it would be a hate crime.

2019 Zelensky Wins

When Zelensky was elected, he promised to reduce the tensions with Russia, even CNN said back in 2019.  Ukrainian sources have long maintained that the election was rigged. Whatever the truth is behind that is almost irrelevant. This war was started by the interim UNELECTED government installed by Victoria Nuland.

Victoria Nuland masterminded the interim government for Ukraine to start this civil war. She made international headlines back then if the EU disagreed, her leaked phone call “FUCK THE EU” made global headlines. It showed who was really in charge. This war began with the installed UNELECTED government, and the platform of Zelensky was supposed to end the war and seek peace, which got him elected. That is what the people voted for, but the Neocons have been working hard to create World War III, and Zelensky has betrayed his own people from the start.

Macron Putin Meet

Back in 2022, Macron met with Putin to preserve peace. For a split second, Macron seemed to be the only reasonable European leader at the time when they were all cheering for World War III. Now Macron has switched sides and is pushing for World War III, perhaps to cancel a future French election like Zelensky and convert France into a dictatorship as Zelensky has done to Ukraine.

Zelensky_Pursue_Nuclear_Weapons_2 23 22

Ukraine had more nukes than China. It agreed to return them to Russia in return for their neutrality. NATO agreed not to invade, and so did Russia. Saying he would rearm with nuclear weapons the day before Putin came to the rescue of the Donbas was to ensure Putin would respond since he was then violating the  Budapest Memorandum of Security Assurances.

Zelensky Did not warn people Washington Post 8 19 22

Even the pro-Ukraine Washington Post, which can’t wait to start World War III to sell more papers, reported that Zelensky knew when Russia would invade and did not warn his people because of money. “If we had communicated that … then I would have been losing $7 billion a month since last October, and at the moment when the Russians did attack, they would have taken us in three days,” Zelensky said. They always want civilians to die so they can blame the other side and get support. That is an old trick and we see that with Hammas against Israel.

Macron send in the troops

All of a sudden, Macron has switched sides and is outright proposing to send NATO troops into Ukraine because Ukraine is about to fall. He knows that has been the plan all along – NATO to invade Russia. The propaganda is so bad that we are drowning in lies. Zelensky is lying to the world, claiming only 31,000 of his troops had died when the number was 100,000, even Ursula said in her speech, and Zelensky made her take that out to hide that Ukraine is losing badly. By pretending Ukraine is winning, he keeps the hopes up and the money flowing into his pockets.

I had reported that 100,000 Ukrainians had been killed in the first few months back in 2022. People said I was spreading Russian propaganda, confirming to me that they were being successfully brainwashed. My info was coming from the Ukrainian sources – not Russia. Then Ursula stood up and said 100,000 Ukrainians had died in battle, and Zelensky made her take that out, saying it was classified information. He has lied to the world and his own people all along, for he is promised a golden parachute when he has destroyed Ukraine and will escorted to live in Miami, trying to wash all the blood from his hands. Here is the original video, and you can see the edited one – again, this is not a Russian source. Wake up!

Kaganovich Lazar 1893–1991

Zelensky has destroyed his own country, and there are many Ukrainians who want him dead. If he is assassinated, it will be by a Ukrainian for destroying his own country. There are even anti-Semitic rumblings that it was Lazar Kaganovich, who was Stalein’s right-hand man, who suggested taking the food from Ukraine. He was a Ukrainian who also destroyed his own country.

Here is Zelensky before being President, says his salary is small and he is joking about confiscating money from Russians and Jews. Kaganovich was Jewish, and only after being elected did Zelensky claim to be Jewish. Some now think he is destroying Ukraine like Kaganovich, and the motive was that they joined Hitler in killing Jews, for they, too, were Nazis. This is the rising sentiment in Ukraine as the nation is on the brink of collapse.

Ukraine has been cannon fodder, and the West was using Ukraine just to kill as many Russians as possible BEFORE then NATO intended to invade Russia. Zelensky has finally admitted, “They have a great superiority.” Absolutely NOBODY ever expected Ukraine to defeat Russia. This has been a major propaganda operation from the very beginning. Let’s knock off the bullshit here. This is like Cuba trying to conquer the United States.

Zelensky has staged news in full production to keep the money flowing to Ukraine, as he is a good puppet of Victoria Nuland.

Minsk Agreement Head of State

Putin even tried to explain the importance of the Minsk Agreement to Zelensky. Yet, Zelendsky has outlawed speaking Russian and outlawed the Russian Orthodox religion, directing them to be subservient to the Patriarch he set up in Kyiv.

Ukraine Christmas Dec 25
Christian Persecution

Then, to further demoralize all Russians living in Ukraine, he declared that Christmas would be December 25th, not January, as the Orthodox have celebrated since 400AD. What’s next? Throwing Russian Orthodox Christians to the lions for refusing his decrees?

Merkel_Minsk_Buy_Time_to Prepare for wart

The West negotiated in bad faith, intended from the outset to create this war. I cannot imagine a head of state signing a peace agreement and then admitting that they never intended to honor it.

Macron NATO send Troops to Ukraine

On December 31, 2022, French President Emmanuel Macron, during his New Year’s address, chastised the French workers with a lengthy discussion on pensions and the need for the French to work more. Then he brought up the climate crisis, declaring that the “energy transition is a battle that we must win.” All of a sudden, Macron has advocated sending NATO troops to Ukraine, which would be the start of World War III. Britain has come out rejecting that scheme. I suppose Macron wants Putin to nuke Paris so he can create jobs for his unions to rebuild the city.

Civilians always Die in War

I cannot stress more that the Neocons are advocating war and the total destruction of Russia, swearing that. they will NEVER use nuclear weapons because they know they will. These Neocons are traitors to the countries they are from, just as Kaganovich was to Ukraine. The GREAT LIE is they make people think war is a video game and only soldiers will die. That is far from the truth.

When we look at World War I, the total number of military and civilian casualties was about 40 million. The number killed ranged between 15 to 22 million, but this broke down to 9 to 11 million military personnel, with civilian deaths of about 6 to 13 million. In addition, there were about 23 million wounded military personnel.

World War II was by far the deadliest military conflict in human history, with a total estimated death total of 70–85 million people. The breakdown shows the real cost of war that our governments seem to cheer on. There were 50–56 million who were killed directly in the war. Because you cannot grow food in such events, there were an additional estimated 19–28 million deaths from famine. The civilian deaths totaled 50–55 million. Today, the world leaders seem to be cheering for war. The mainstream media is constantly advocating for war because they are bought and paid for by the establishment – obedience to authority.

Nuclear War

Even if there were no nuclear weapons, just keeping with World War II, 3% of the world population was killed. Today, that will be about 250 million – almost the equivalent of the entire United States. These people are freaking out over the population, and they want a good pruning of the herd. In 1900, the world population was 1.7 billion. That became 6 billion by 2000, and now 8 billion by 2024. This is why these people want war – they want to reduce the population, end all sovereign debts and unfunded entitlements, and usher in a new postwar boom to rebuild the cities they have destroyed.

DJIND W World War I

NATO may be planning to invade Russia, but China and North Korea will join the action. Based on our computer’s forecasts, this will NOT end nicely for the West. I wish I were wrong, and Socrates is wrong. But it seems to be inevitable at this point. NOBODY is interested in peace. Honor the Minsk Agreement, and this war is over in 24 hours. This is what Victoris Nuland is saying – war will stimulate the economy.

Intl War Index 12 30 22

Thank you, Macron, for showing the world the real agenda. When will you be satisfied? Killing off 50%, 4 billion people with World War III? Or shall we take it back to 1900 with just 1.7 billion?

It was said Blessed be the Peacemakers.

It is hard, if not impossible, to find one today in political office.
