The Egomaniacs & the Thinking Process


Armstrong Economics Blog/BigTech Re-Posted Jan 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: You have had billions. Why did that not make you as insane as Gates, Soros, Zuckerberg, and Dorsey?

DG

ANSWER: BigTech sees the power to overthrow the banks. They have promised worldwide that they want everyone in the banking system to end paper money, which is over 1 billion people (just read the IMF). Gates was raised and indoctrinated by his father that the world is doomed unless you somehow create mass genocide legally. Soros likes the control of Communism and thinks he can achieve world peace by creating one government, as was the case behind the Iron Curtain. He even helped round up Jews to be executed and has no problem living with that.

I really do not know the answer. Perhaps it was simply that my objective was to try to figure out how the world functioned rather than to try to reshape it into my personal ideal vision. Other than Soros, all the others made money from equity. They are not traders, so they never were humbled by the market forces. When you are a trader, yes, I was dealing with billions. But you have to separate that from reality. There were plenty of times I would do a few billion in trades that day and then go out to dinner, and the bill would be maybe $200. You separate the trading from the daily expenditure by not looking at it as money. I would just look at it as phone numbers.

I did an interview in Munich, Germany. I was asked how I could advise on trillions of dollars. I explained I never thought about how much I was dealing with. I just looked at what had to be done and did it. She explained I was the largest adviser in the world and that she could not find someone else who could do such a job at that size. They would think about the money and became too afraid to act. She told me she interviewed a top brain surgeon who had to retire. She said she discovered the same attitude. Once he realized that the slightest mistake would cause the patient not to talk or walk again, he could not do the job.

Trying to be objective, I mentally separated myself from the decision. When I look at Soros, I went up against him many times and saw that he was simply on board with everyone else. There was group trading, and they would assume that their size could force a result. I traded against the club all the time. That is why they hated me and accused me of manipulating the world, theorizing that I had greater influence than all their money combined. I understood how markets functioned, whereas they tried to make markets function as they desired.

From my perspective, Dorsey, Zuckerberg, and Gates simply made money from an invention. They lack total comprehension of society or the economy. With no connection to the real world, they simply have become egomaniacs whereby they are drunk with what they perceive is unlimited power. This is precisely the actions of Dorsey caught by Project Veritas on video.

Dorsey may be pretending he is trying to stop violence, but he is really doing this to be able to expand into banking. In censoring everyone like Hitler and Stalin, he is encouraging violence because that becomes the ONLY solution when (1) courts refuse to act, and (2) you suppress people controlling the press and even their ability to communicate. This is what I mean that they have ZERO understanding of history or what makes the world really function. They are inviting their own demise; you can bet they will all become targets by people who have lost everything and will lash out, as is always the case. There are over 300 million people out there.

Conspiracies & Emotional Depression


Armstrong Economics Blog/Q&A Re-Posted Jan 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT #1: I understand and appreciate your skepticism about conspiracies. However, before the covid attack and the sell off in the stock market last March, you did not believe in conspiracy theories at all. You thought the world was run by stupid people and they were incapable of doing anything like what we are witnessing. You commented many times your surprise at how well funded and organized this has been. I wished back then you were right. Now I hope your wrong again (about conspiracy). So maybe a little humble pie is in order the next time you say you don’t believe in conspiracies.

JM

REPLY: No. There have always been conspiracies to try to do things. What I have said and it still holds today: no CONSPIRACY has ever SUCCEEDED. This is a clip from “The Forecaster.”  I always traded against these people. I was asked to join many times. I have always refused. I was invited by Edmond Safra to the IMF dinner he put on in Washington renting the entire National Gallery. I was told by them, “Join us.” They had the IMF in their pocket. I said no, I advised the people to whom the IMF went to ask for money.

This has been a conspiracy that has been better funded than I expected. That is true. Mainly because it is a merger of Gates, Soros, and Schwab. Each had a different objective, but they agreed to combine. Like the Democrats. It is really a conglomeration of many groups from women to transsexuals and socialists all with only a common objective of hating Republicans. Individually, they have different goals.

They cannot create a conspiracy to manipulate a market. If they even could, then they would not blow up and constantly ask governments to bail them out. That alone proves my point — conspiracies do not succeed.

As for this elaborate conspiracy to change the world economy, they will destroy much of our world economy, inspire war, but their grand dream of forcing and controlling this Fourth Industrial Revolution will be transformed into dust. We will begin to witness its faults by 2022.


COMMENT#2:  Where can we run to? Seriously. I think this is really the most important question now.
I can’t help but wonder what would happen if 80million Trump voters moved to Texas.
TC

COMMENT #3: Hi Martin,
It is truly insightful, having watched the inauguration of Biden on the UK BBC1.
It is all hope and glory, patriotism, great times ahead etc…..presented by them.
Am seriously thinking of ‘Fucking off’ to another country as am getting older (46yrs).
Truthfully, am thinking Indonesia, despite their earthquake/volcano/ history.
Its time, for me and my closest, to move on.  Am tired, as you are, of this bullshit.
Just wanna normal life!!!!!
Thanks for all you do…..you appear to be a normal guy, trustworthy et al, whilst mixing with the ‘average’ persons of this world.
You don’t need an ego trip, so am just telling you that I trust you and that you are a good guy (despite what I’ve read!!!)
As we say in the UK….
Cheers Mate, all the best

COMMENT #4: Thank you so much. We have some great pretenders here in the UK claiming they get calls from intelligence all night and they proclaimed Trump would arrest everyone. I cannot believe how many people believed this stuff. You are the only respectable voice in the extreme left and right confrontation.

REPLY: I understand this looks really depressing, like a violent storm about to strike. Capital will make its decision pro or con by February. There may yet be a rise in separatist movements. There is a lot up in the air. I am getting emails from around the world. I had to do a video interview this morning from Germany.

Australia Imposes $50,000 Fine for Not Wearing Mask; Florida Beats New York


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Jan 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Brisbane has imposed a $50,000 fine for not wearing a mask. In Florida, we did not go insane. Most small businesses survived and we did not have draconian lockdowns. Florida has about 2 million more people than New York, and while New York ­reported 17,839 new cases, Florida had 15,445. The open policy in Florida has fewer COVID cases than New York, proving that the lockdowns have failed to work. Instead, lockdowns are destroying jobs and ensuring that there will be nothing to return to since the WHO is already telling people that 2021 will be WORSE than 2020! Even the number of people who have caught COVID in a restaurant is just 1.4% of the COVID cases. That does not justify destroying restaurants and society.

QAnon & The Conspiracy Craziness


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Well, you seem to be the only one who is real. The army was supposed to come to the rescue. Trump was to be sworn in by 11AM. Trump was supposed to have signed this Insurrection Act and they said their sources said this is not a drill. This event seems to have separated the real people from the fakes who just make up shit.

You won my loyalty.

RF

ANSWER: I really do not understand why people make up those stories. There is some truth perhaps that the QAnon conspiracy was used to hype-up people to break into the Capitol to justify a police state just as they allowed the attack of 911. The government always gains power. I seriously question if there is really any validity to this Q idea since they do not seem to have any real contacts in Washington and have never dealt with anyone on the Hill.

The “establishment” had Trump surrounded in the White House and from the beginning. I saw the very same thing they were trying with Ronald Reagan. When Reagan was elected, they said in Washington they would “train” him because he was NOT one of THEM. You could not penetrate that wall around Trump. Just read Sidney Powell. She expressed the same commentary. They (establishment in Washington) were intent upon making sure Trump would have no real support. Trump was TOO NAIVE for Washington. They do not believe in the country no matter how many foolish celebrities they invite to sing at their inauguration. They are being used for political gain and are clueless as to the real trends. The corruption in DC goes beyond party lines. It engulfs both sides.

We have REAL clients who expect REAL information, not wild scenarios. The Democrats have called in so many troops to put on a SHOW that they are now in power and they are prepared with their new coming Domestic Terrorist Act to start imprisoning anyone who really disagrees with them. I did not see a viable avenue for Trump once the Supreme Court refused to take the Texas case. Once that took place, I did not see a high probability for a Trump victory.

We are headed into a period of severe repression. They are already telling cable networks and all social media to shut down ALL conservatives because everything they say is “misinformation” as they prepare for what nobody was ever asked to vote for. That is the REAL conspiracy and we have to consider that the wild theories that Trump was going to be sworn in by 11 AM and Biden hauled off in chains only benefit their designs for repression.

Twitter Suspends Voices of ‘Rebel Alliance’ Resistance Against JoeBama Agenda


Posted originally on The Conservative tree house on January 20, 2021 by Sundance

While the JoeBama administration is being formally installed today, the advancement of Big Tech’s control against any voice in opposition continues.  Michelle Malkin, GateWay Pundit and RSBN Broadcasting were all removed from Twitter.

Simultaneously, in a stunning display showing the lack of actual support for the installation of the totalitarian regime, the streets of Washington DC were devoid of JoeBama supporters while 25,000 military troops were ordered to protect the illusion.

~ This picture gives the reality of the total crowd at the installation ~

WASHINGTON DC – Twitter suspended yet another stack of conservative accounts. This occurred less than two weeks after the hashtag “hang Mike Pence” was allowed to trend on the platform for a whole night and hit over 14,000 tweets.

On Tuesday, conservative activist Michelle Malkin took to Telegram to announce Twitter had locked her account without following typical protocol, which would require an explanation of the suspension and opportunity to delete posts violating Twitter policy.

[…] a spokesperson for Twitter confirmed Malkin’s 24-hour suspension on Tuesday in addition to that of accounts belonging to conservative media outlets Right Side Broadcasting Network and the Gateway Pundit. While the official cited violation of a civic integrity policy as the reason for the three suspensions, they did not specify which tweets defied the so-called guidelines. (read more)

The Enslavement of Fear


Armstrong Economics Blog/Revolution Re-Posted Jan 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: I just can’t understand why the military armed forces and secret intelligence services all agree with the Marxist left.  Why?

MG

ANSWER: Make no mistake about it. The left seeks to enslave everyone out of fear. The mass of the military, military establishment, and the intelligence services want war. They do not want peace. After the collapse of Communism, they did not like that. Their budgets were reduced and it inspired a feeling of not being needed. Then they needed to create a new enemy and that became terrorism. They had no nuclear arms and their ranks were the size of perhaps an enrollment in a university. But they needed to be pumped up into a global threat. They fully knew of the plan for 9/11. The first crew even drew the Twin Towers on the walls of their cell with planes going into them, advertising they would be victorious.

Among the rank and file, I get a lot of emails. According to soldiers sending in emails, they put it as pro-Trump being 70% and concede that the military will probably spit in a civil war. But the “military” does not include the National Guard. They are who Pelosi disrespected by calling them “weekend warriors” on a phone call to the Pentagon asking for Marines. Her attitude is similar to any dictator who seeks to retain power. They always expect the military to kill their own people. Just look at Venezuela.

However, you must also look deeper. I have written before about the Nika Revolt which is an incredibly important event that leaders are well aware of.  The troops inside Constantinople would not kill their own people and the emperor was about to flee the city. His wife told him to order in a legion that was not Greek and were encamped outside the city. He did. They came in and massacred 40,000 people.

Perhaps you are too young to remember the “Kent State Massacre” where the Ohio National Guard killed four unarmed and wounded nine other students on May 4, 1970.  Then 10 days later, on May 14, two students were killed (and 12 wounded) by police at Jackson State University in Mississippi. This was all about the protests over the Vietnam War. President Nixon established the President’s Commission on Campus Unrest. It concluded that the killings were unjustified. It was found that even if the guardsmen faced danger, it was not a danger that called for lethal force. The report declared that 61 shots fired by 28 guardsmen certainly cannot be justified. Apparently, no order to fire was given. They just panicked. It was held back then that the Kent State tragedy must mark the last time that, as a matter of course, loaded rifles are issued to guardsmen confronting student demonstrators. That probably will not be the case this week.

The Gallup Poll at the time was interesting for the view was 58% of the people blamed the students. Just like the Capitol Siege, they looked at all the photographs, and 24 students were indicted with the May 4 demonstration or with the one at the ROTC building fire three days before. Five cases, all related to the burning of the ROTC building, went to trial. One non-student defendant was convicted, two other non-students pleaded guilty, and one was acquitted. All other charges were dismissed. As for the National Guard, five guardsmen were indicted and claimed to have fired in self-defense which was accepted.

It was during the Russian Revolution where the government expected the military to fire on the people. Yeltsin stood on the tank and begged them not to kill their own people. The troops stood down and the government fell. We too will reach such a point. However, if you look at the actions of Pelosi and the rhetoric coming out of CNN that anyone who voted for Trump is a Nazi or a member of KKK, there is no intention of the Biden Administration to be inclusive. This is a leftist purge, and make no mistake about it, they will NEVER tolerate opposition. It is the very nature of all Marxists — they need total control to force their ideals upon the world.

Pelosi is the Greatest Embarrassment to the Country in Modern History


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Jan 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Would you agree to meet with Pelosi if it was arranged?

Anonymous

REPLY: No. It would be pointless. She is perhaps the vilest politician in history. She beats even Hillary, hands down. Her actions are always self-serving, and she would NEVER do anything to actually help the country. She is a complete disgrace to the nation and will be regarded with hindsight by history as a real traitor who sought to overthrow the Constitution for political gain. I don’t think I could bring myself to even bump elbows with her. California should be embarrassed. How Pelosi has staged everything just to win an election with no regard for the people or our future as a nation is just unforgivable.
