The Future & Chaos


Armstrong Economics Blog/Monetary Reform Re-Posted Nov 10, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT #1: Marty,

Does this all mean that this takeover can make the canceling of physical USD possible, maybe as soon as January to line up with Europe? Previously you responded to my email question on a digital dollar and said that they couldn’t do that since over 70% of cash was held overseas.

Can this all cause the dollar to collapse instead of heading to new all-time highs as you have been saying for years? Or will it just delay the dollar highs?

Best,
E

COMMENT #2: I find it fascinating how Socrates elected a Quarterly Bullish Reversal at the end of September in the Dow and a bearish in the dollar. I am impressed by how Socrates is so independent that what seemed inconsistent proved spot on. No wonder they first so hard to prevent people from looking at your work.

Please keep up the good fight.

COMMENT #3: Mr. Armstrong,

Seems like levers are easily thrown in whatever direction is benefiting this Great Reset with the big picture of bringing all of Western Civilization to its knees.  Small business is already / or already being crushed.  Likely, a heavy tax on carbon will finish off the farmers once we get back into the Paris Accord.   There is a great deal of real wealth  being held by Baby Boomers, who for the most part are “buy & hold” (no matter what) with a mixture of more equities than bonds.   These evil rat bastards seem exceptionally good at what they do, wouldn’t you want crush “The Boomers” also?  Seems as if this rally is an effort to get everyone in the pool before pulling the plug and draining the pool very quickly?

Best Regards

COMMENT #4: The parallels to the movie Star Wars are uncanny. So many similarities happening right now.

REPLY: I have been telling people that Socrates has always been right whenever I thought it would be wrong. It said this would be the most corrupt election in American history and I seriously doubt any human being could have forecast just how corrupt this really would be. It is far beyond anything I ever expected. As I warned at the last WEC, we were picking up something strange in the capital flows beginning in August 2019. It was manifesting at first in the Repo Crisis where US banks were suddenly unwilling to lend any money to any European bank. Their statements that they would no longer bailout any European banks forced the US Federal Reserve to step into the Repo Market. That continued to the pressure to join Klaus Schwab’s communist manifesto because they had already destroyed the European bond market and vowing not to bail out any bank meant that a US bank would not deal with a European.

Normally, that would have set the stage for the capital flows to the dollar and the US share market which indeed contributed to the high with the Economic Confidence Model – 2020.05. We crashed and burned into the low of March 23rd and Socrates even got the day of the low. NORMALLY, we should have bounced, even 40% from that low, and after an 11-year rally, we should have seen a 2-year decline into the next target in 2022. I warned that if the Dow had to close below the Quarterly Bearish Reversal at the end of March since the market penetrated it intraday. That rested at 21,712. The market closed above that number failing to elect any Quarter Bearish Reversal numbers settling March at 21,917.16. At the very minimum, that warned that there would be a bounce before any possible new low.

Indeed, the Dow elected its first Weekly Bullish Reversal the week of June 15, 2020, at 25,871.46. Then its first Monthly Bullish was elected at the end of July and finally the first Quarterly Bullish Reversal at the end of September. Now it becomes imperative to hold 25,735 on a monthly closing basis in the future. This is why I say we are in difficult times and the only way to survive is a computer that is objective and can see into the future. I seriously doubt that any human can forecast what the heck is unfolding other than a guess.

As for this looking more like Star Wars, you are actually not so far off. Star War was based upon the collapse of the Roman Republic and the transition to the Emperor. Instead of dueling with swords, they introduced lightsabers. If you can just short someone, why would you battle with lightsabers? Hey, it sold a lot of tickets.

No rational politicians would destroy the world economy for this COVID-19 nonsense. They are now claiming 10 million people have contracted COVID. The CDC estimates that the flu during the 2017–2018 season was high with an estimated 45 million people getting sick with influenza, 21 million people going to a health care provider, 810,000 hospitalizations, and 61,000 deaths from influenza.  We already know that the flu and COVID cases have been combined. They now are claiming 237,000 people have died from COVID. The CDC is claiming the flu is mild this year with CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2019–2020 season was moderate with an estimated 38 million people sick with flu, 18 million visits to a health care provider for flu, 400,000 hospitalizations for flu, and 22,000 flu deaths. If you died of a heart attack but test positive for COVID you died of COVID. This is happening everywhere because it is all political.

The objective is to CRUSH the economy, end debt, they adopt MMT and handout Guaranteed Basic Income. This will subjugate the people and allow the government to end democracy, elections, etc., and install this one-world government with the US nuclear weapons handed to the United Nations where it will then be subject to a group of nations to wage war.

I do not think the US will be able to launch a digital currency by January. They have put in legislation to do that, but it will have to pass the House and then the Senate. Just looking at the timing arrays, it would appear not before May. We have to see the outcome of the Georgia election and now we have two states suing Pennsylvania. Allowing dead people to vote that changes the election is a denial of Equal Protection and Due Process of Law for the entire nation. We have to see how the Supreme Court handles this. We may get a decision by December 14th, 2020.

The Collapse in Confidence in Government Has Arrived


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Dear Martin,

I greatly appreciate all the hard work you do helping provide light to this mess all around us.  It would seem trump winning is a requirement for us to have any hope near term for staving off the worst of what’s to come.  I was hoping to have a question answered regarding the “what’s next?” private blog post. I was looking at the democrat array, and was wondering given all the instances of potential election fraud coming to light, is it possible that we have a cycle inversion from here through 2024 wherein the dems decline rather than an uptrend? Would this not be the case if the instances of election fraud were proven to be perpetrated by key democratic groups and the public becomes much more aware of the fraud? Biden’s team is also going full tilt on announcing their plans which differ from what was spoken in the debates and more recently, but very much in line with the Marxist discussions of past.

Regardless of the outcome, the revelation of election fraud committed by one of the major political parties itself would still be damning for the foundations of the United States and the longer term trend would still flow through as you had forecasted.

Thank you,

AJ

REPLY: This is part of what the computer has been projecting as we move into 2032. Either way, if this is overturned because of the fraud, or if Biden takes office because the courts are goose-stepping to the Deep State and uphold the election despite the outrageous fraud, this election has been as Socrates forecast – the most corrupt election in American history. That will now leave 50% of the population pushed over the edge of confidence in the government. Whatever faith people had in government and the election process has been destroyed. It will only get worse as the Democrats try to impose their drastic structural changes and move toward the Great Reset handing power to the United Nations – George Soros’ wet dream.

Therefore, either way, this election has deeply shaken the respect of the United States in the eyes of the world, and it has undermined the faith in government among citizens. NOW is that crossroads where we begin to see the transition from deflation to inflation.

We are witnessing talk among truck drivers to strike. They can count on becoming economic slaves if the Democrats get the Senate. Of course, gun sales have gone through the roof and ammunition is virtually nonexistent. But also, survival food is seeking such a run that that too is now sold out. These are all factors showing that confidence in government has been sacrificed to stuff Biden in the White House.

Updated – DOJ Memo: Bill Barr Authorizes DOJ to Probe Election Fraud…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree house on November 9, 2020 by sundance

UPDATE: Memo Added – The Associated Press is reporting on a memo (no citation, only description) that reportedly comes from U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and authorizes local USAO offices to investigate valid claims of voter fraud if presented for review.

While the appearance of a DOJ memo authorizing U.S. attorney’s to participate in election investigations is a good thing….

…Consider how many investigations has AG Barr authorized only to seemingly feed the accountability masses and keep the pitchforks at bay.

Associated Press – In a memo to U.S. attorneys, obtained by The Associated Press, Barr wrote that investigations “may be conducted if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities that, if true, could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual State.”

He said any allegations that would “clearly not impact the outcome of a federal election” should be delayed until after those elections are certified and prosecutors should likely open so-called preliminary inquiries, which would allow investigators and prosecutors to see if there is evidence that would allow them to take further investigative measures.

Barr does not identify any specific instances of purported fraud in the memo.

“While it is imperative that credible allegations be addressed in a timely and effective manner, it is equally imperative that Department personnel exercise appropriate caution and maintain the Department’s absolute commitment to fairness, neutrality and non-partisanship,” Barr wrote.

States have until Dec. 8 to resolve election disputes, including recounts and court contests over the results. Members of the Electoral College meet Dec. 14 to finalize the outcome. (more)

Mitch McConnell: “The President is 100 Percent Within His Right to Look Into Election Irregularities”…

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell knows exactly what 71 million Trump supporters would do to his congressional power (business model) if they left the Republican and Democrat parties.

This is Decepticon Mitch at his finest.  This is how he stays in power:https://www.youtube.com/embed/SSeNmq9S-RA?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent

Interesting Timing – AG Barr Meets With Mitch McConnell – SSCI Vice-Chair Reacts to Esper Firing…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on November 9, 2020 by sundance

Do not attribute anything extraordinary to this series of events.  Quite likely, they are disconnected and not what most of us would love to believe.

In no way should this be construed as fuel for the trusty plan community.  However, that said, it is interesting.

U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr meets with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell today.

There are no immediate reports on the intents or purposes of the meeting, and with all things Barr does the meeting provides multiple ways of looking at it.

If investigative findings were ever going to bring sunlight upon the corrupt machinations at the gateway to the swamp, the DOJ would eventually have to have a conversation with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell about the corrupt activity of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).   Is this that?  Likely no, but wishful thinking always puts that little element of hope into a series of events…

If the DOJ were ever going to go full wolverine on the schemes, lies, manipulations and known malfeasance of the body politic, who would be the most at risk in that scenario?

The answer is SSCI vice-chairman Mark Warner…. who just coincidentally sends out a statement today warning President Trump about firing ‘senate confirmed’ executive branch officers like Defense Secretary Mark Esper:

Are these events related…. who knows.  We can hope yes, but the real answer is likely no.

I dislike Bill Barr with the heat of a thousand supernovas…. not only because he seems to be a coward and swamp-certified protector of the administrative state; but also because he has hidden behind the skirt of Sidney Powell amid the entire Flynn fiasco.

Instead of just admitting, openly and publicly, what is clearly evident for the entire world to see… AG Barr uses proxy entities like Missouri USAO Jeff Jensen to send exculpatory information to Ms. Powell so she can achieve what cowardly Barr is not willing to do with the righteous fury that is warranted.  That’s why I consider Barr a coward.

The wise words of Mike Vanderboegh echo so loudly….

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening.

It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

MAGA, bitches.  Trump because FUCK YOU, is a very powerful group of Americans…

President Trump Fires Defense Secretary Mark Esper…


Posted originally on The Conservative tree house on November 9, 2020 by sundance

Following a series of high-profile conflicts, President Trump has terminated Defense Secretary Mark Esper and appointed Chris C Miller, head of the National Counterterrorism Center, as Acting Defense Secretary:

Secretary Esper gave an interview to the Military Times the day after the election indicating he would not follow any further orders from the administration.  These public comments likely led to his removal.

Throughout the President’s first term in office politically-minded military flag officers have sought to undermine the administration effort to withdraw from global conflicts. During an interview with Bob Woodward, former Defense Secretary James Mattis admitted to plotting the overthrow of the U.S. government under Trump.

One of the more obvious exhibitions of the Pentagon outlook was in their support for Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman who attempted to frame a false impeachment effort because President Trump’s foreign policy did not align with the preferred intervention approach of the military industrial complex.  {Go Deep}

Effective COVID-19 Vaccine Miraculously Announced Days After Election…


Posted originally on The Conservative tree house on November 9, 2020 by sundance

Nobody could have predicted this… and by “nobody“, we mean everybody of course.

As the political media and democrats simultaneously drop their COVID-19 social distancing concerns to celebrate Joe Biden in the streets and DNC venues, as anticipated an effective vaccine is announced.  Within the announcement Pfizer admits they stalled announcing the results of the study in October, preferring to wait until after the election.

Not only was COVID fear hyped and weaponized for maximum political narrative engineering value, but news of the COVID vaccine was withheld for the same intents.

STATNEWS […] Gruber said that Pfizer and BioNTech had decided in late October that they wanted to drop the 32-case interim analysis. At that time, the companies decided to stop having their lab confirm cases of Covid-19 in the study, instead leaving samples in storage. The FDA was aware of this decision.

Discussions between the agency and the companies concluded, and testing began this past Wednesday. When the samples were tested, there were 94 cases of Covid in the trial. The DSMB met on Sunday.

This means that the statistical strength of the result is likely far stronger than was initially expected. It also means that if Pfizer had held to the original plan, the data would likely have been available in October, as its CEO, Albert Bourla, had initially predicted.  (read more)

UNBELIEVABLE: George Soros Employee Owns Defective Switch-Vote Biden Machines


Evil That Men Do: Is Defective Software Used on Swing States a Virus Meant to Flip Elections?

Kelly OConnell image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Kelly OConnell —— Bio and ArchivesNovember 9, 2020

Smartmatic Machine, Lord Mark Malloch Brown, George Soros Stunning Facts: Lord Mark Malloch Brown, a George Soros lieutenant, whose company Smartmatic, is intimately tied to Dominion Voting Systems who flipped votes from Trump to Biden. Brown was also named UN #2 – Deputy Secretary General on March 3rd,  2006, and also former VP of the World Bank. His machine was used in all the swing states. Could this help explain the MI 200,000 vote sudden dump of Biden ballots, while WI got 100,000 late night delivery? 

How did a close George Soros associate , a Quantum Fund VP, who lived in his NYC apartment get accepted for crucial voting machinery?

Soros Minion: How did a close George Soros associate , a Quantum Fund VP, who lived in his NYC apartment get accepted for crucial voting machinery? Especially after Soros’ unrelenting attack on the US justice system by funding leftist DAs? Brown was concurrently Vice-Chair of Soros Fund Management & Vice-Chair of Open Society Institute. Is Lord Brown George Soros’ favorite lieutenant? 

Agent Provocateur Brown: So, what kind of person is Lord Brown? He secretly advances Soros’ goals. An adviser to billionaire Beny Steinmetz, Brown ruthlessly used his position to relay confidential information to Soros about Steinmetz’ company to ruin a business deal. Brown was sued and fined  €90,000. Brown is also Anti-Brexit and a climate zealot. When criticized about his friendship with Soros, and living on his colossal farm, Brown claimed he was “doing God’s work.” Brown’s subterfuge with the notorious UN program “oil-for-food” cost the UN $600 million and $300 mill cash disappeared.

Failed Vote Software Company: Dominion is associated with vote disasters, “Dominion “got into trouble” with several subsidiaries it used over alleged cases of fraud. One subsidiary is Smartmatic, a company “that has played a significant role in the U.S. market over the last decade,” according to a report published by UK-based AccessWire. Litigation over Smartmatic “glitches” alleges they impacted the 2010 and 2013 mid-term elections in the Philippines, raising questions of cheating and fraud. An independent review of the source codes used in the machines found multiple problems.”

Smartmatic & Dominion FailuresBloomberg criticized computer voter machines and software as inherently flawed in 2019. CBS News reported in 2019, “The voting machine lobby, led by the biggest company, ES&S, believes they are above the law,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. They have not had anybody hold them accountable even on the most basic matters.” Another concern is foreign ownership, and passive investors – like possibly Soros. Smartmatic’s figures were manipulated by 1 million votes in its 2017 Venezuela vote. Dominion failed in 2018 GA, but was retained, and failed again in GA and switched 6,000 ballots in MI this election, while PA, NV, AZ, WI, MN all used this. In 2019, GA citizens petitioned to have Dominion Voting Systems removed, as it failed in 2018 NV. 

E-Voting Companies Run by Foreign Sociopaths?

“Elaborate election systems benefit company profit far more than taxpayers & voters paying for them.” 

CONCLUSION: E-Voting Companies Run by Foreign Sociopaths? What do we really know about our voting machines and software? Hardly anything. For example, if a voting program was designed to throw 3% of the ballots to the opponent, how could that be detected? Writes the UK Guardian: “The fact is that democracy in the United States is now largely a secretive and privately-run affair conducted out of the public eye with little oversight. The corporations that run every aspect of American elections, from voter registration to casting and counting votes by machine, are subject to limited state and federal regulation. The companies are privately-owned and closely held, making information about ownership and financial stability difficult to obtain. The software source code and hardware design of their systems are kept as trade secrets and therefore difficult to study or investigate.” Let’s go back to hand written ballots and use electronics as a backup. That’s the only safe way versus electronic records.

Not My President(s)?


Which one is the President????

American citizens used to have a choice when it came to presidential elections, even though the candidates usually represented pretty much the same thing: globalism, war, and the destruction of traditional Christian-based American culture. There wasn’t much different between the Clintons and Bushes or Romney and Obama. When Trump arrived he was elected because people were tired of Tweedle D and Tweedle R. There wasn’t much of a choice before Trump.

That choice is now made for them by elite oligarchs and their goons. Trump represented nationalism, not open borders. He offered a good economy and jobs, not more war. The elite oligarchs hated Trump because he threatened to restore America. He wanted to make it great again. Trump needed to drain the swamp to make that happen, but little progress was made. Bill Barr, Durham and the DOJ were disappointments. Trump may have shuffled up the Deep State, but its players remained in charge and they all wanted a coup.

The seditious swamp turned out to be more vast and deep than many of us imagined. A pandemic was planned and rolled out right in time for the election. They wanted Trump’s economy in shambles. They wanted mail-in ballots for safety. How convenient. The  elite oligarchs made sure ballot fraud was committed to get China Joe and Commie Kamala elected. They succeeded, at least for now. The “I VOTED” stickers should now read “I WAS CHEATED.”

We now have Biden and his band of lying Democrat socialists poised to take over the White House. That should not happen in the face of such blatantly obvious cheating, but their media arms including even Fox News are busy conditioning us to accept our victimhood. I will never accept it.

Biden is not my president. Should Joe be removed from office due to his dementia, Kamala won’t be my president either.
