Is Resistance Really Futile?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Feb 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

A number of people have asked, “Will this resistance be futile?” Europe has been crushed. Kristalina Georgieva and Christine Legarde are both board members of Schwab’s World Economic Forum. European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, was also a board member. Schwab has conquered Europe. He is destroying all non-green jobs and ensuring the EU will slip further down the list of world economic growth. This is why you see far more protests in Europe than in the states.

This is the real reason why you have the sudden militarization of the Biden Administration. There were clearly groups who pre-planned the assault on the Capitol. There are people who planted pipe bombs the night before who have conveniently never been identified. Was that really a false flag to make the event appear much more dramatic? Even AOC pretending her life was threatened is nonsense. Her office was not in the Capitol building. They did not storm her office building. All her claims that she feels threatened since Republicans even sit in Congress demonstrates she really wants a one-party rule – an environmental socialist dictatorship.

We are showing that unemployment will rise sharply, and the long-term downtrend stands at 7.6%. The Democrats are simply trying to push the Schwab agenda and are not being honest with the people. This is why Biden is acting like a dictator, issuing executive orders on climate without any opportunity for debate in Congress.

Moreover, all they try to do is claim how bad Trump was for the country. Yet, the unemployment rate under Trump was the lowest post-Great Depression era reaching 3.5%. The only time it was lower was World War II and the Vietnam War, where the unemployed were sent to war.

We show high volatility, and the unemployment rate will rise into 2022 because climate change comes first to these people. If people died from lack of heat, thereby reducing the world population, I am sure Bill Gates will be dancing the jig at the White House.

Conspiracy & Reality


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Feb 5, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Anybody who dares to try to link COVID with the Great Reset is suddenly dangerous and a conspiracy theorist. Here is a video from Kaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum pushing the Great Reset. Here is a clip just in case they remove it. Here is Dr. Anthony Fauci saying the same thing that COVID has provided the opportunity for this Great Reset, followed by Christine Legarde the head of the European Central Bank, and the CEO of Bank of America – Brian Moynihan.

What is Fauci doing appearing in a Davos video supporting the Great Reset? He has lied about herd immunity when in 1970 required 25% of the population compared to 85% today. Why? Initially, Fauci said the truth that masks do not prevent anything. But we are evil conspiracy theorists for pointing out inconsistencies and his link with the World Economic Forum?

Why is it that when all these people agree on the Great Reset, and we dare to point that out, we become the misinformation who should have our tongue ripped out? Then Google Maps has a Timeline and shows everywhere you have been traveling for years and where you are today. They track us with our phones. An still, mainstream media is so desperate to get us to surrender all our rights, privileges, immunities, freedom of speech, and freedom of thought.

I really do wish Star Trek were real. I would right now be saying: Scotty! Beam me up! Get me out of here! Hurry!

Biden Imposes Permanent Masks & Social Distancing to Prevent Civil Unrest


Armstrong Economics Blog/Regulation Re-Posted Feb 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Biden Administration has made it clear that they are stripping us of all our First Amendment rights which include the freedom to assemble. What was just made clear that even if you take these questionable vaccines, you will forever have to wear a mask and continue to social-distance for the rest of your life. So what is the point of these vaccines? There is no liability whatsoever to all Bill Gates’ pharmaceutical companies he now controls or is influential as a stakeholder/shareholder. Hence, there is no animal testing. My cousin was a front line nurse who had COVID and recovered. He was compelled to take the vaccine for her job and had a stroke. She has recovered, thankfully, but has now refused to take the second dose.

The is the most political nonsense and NEVER in the entire history of the world has any government, even those of Hitler and Stalin, whoever imprisoned the entire population pretending there is some disease with a kill ratio of 0.028% no different than the 1968 Hong Kong Flu.

This is why we have to end career politicians and move to a Direct Democracy. We have become the enemy and Capitol Hill in Washington will remain barricaded just like Kim Jung Un in The Central Committee Building in Pyongyang, North Korea at least into 2022.

Conspiracy Theory & Great Reset


Armstrong Economics Blog/Regulation Re-Posted Feb 5, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Do you say that the COVID pandemic is a hoax?

FR

ANSWER: Look, there are people who are deliberately calling anyone who disagrees a conspiracy theorist so they never have to answer anything. There are people who have had COVID. I have had a cousin who got it and my neighbors got it. It exists. The problem is that we have a situation where it has been so blown out of proportion when the death rate is just 0.02% compared to nearly 3% for the Spanish Flu, and then you have all of a sudden world leaders using the COVID lockdowns to Build Back Better which was a marketing slogan that was used at Davos. This is like I rob you on the street at gunpoint, take everything you have, and then say here is $5 for a bus ride home because I care! It has been the politicians who imposed lockdowns that NEVER in 6,000 years of human history has ANY government locked down its entire population. The destruction has been political and Build Back Better is the $5 for the bus ride home. You have people in government actually talking about imposing lockdowns for Climate Change.

If you want to believe that COVID, Climate Change, and Lockdowns are all entirely separate from BUILD BACK BETTER, then that is your problem. A conspiracy theory is MAKING UP things from questionable data. Here we have outright hard data and statements made but world leaders all mouthing the same agenda. We have instantly Biden shutting down pipelines and John Kerry telling miners to learn how to make solar panels. The lockdowns and militarization of Washington are not worried Trump supporters will storm the capital to take selfies again. They are worried about a revolution when the people see how many jobs are being lost PERMANENTLY and how these people are conspiring against the people to create a different world that was NEVER explained to the people or allowed them to vote on something that would change their entire future. And you call this democracy?

Media shutting down free speech is to also to prevent any organization that would rise up into a revolution. They have been promised international backing and they will put traditional banks out of business. 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).  So their shutting down of all opponents is not part of a conspiracy either? It’s just some random act they came up with for no reason when section 230 says they have no responsibility? And Zuckerberg spent $419 million to defeat Trump but that too had nothing to do with anything else whatsoever?

They know that the majority of people are sheep. They also know that the most powerful tool is the fear of death – no matter how remote. The media like CNN broadcasted every day how many people died of COVID never mentioning that more people were dying in car crashed and other diseases because they were denied health care because COVID took priority. The average person will wake up and smell the coffee only after they have lost their jobs, the price of fuel goes so high they cannot afford to commute to a job if they could find one, and others will become what they already talked about at Davos – the coming “Useless Class” and that is a direct quote!

Jason Kennedy is Defending Career Politicians v His Own People


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 5, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Jason Kenney takes on COVID-19 conspiracy theorists in Facebook ‘rant’

Jason Kennedy, the Premier of Alberta, Canada, has just totally reversed himself in what is being called a “rant” and has aligned himself with career politicians who do not represent the people or the future of Alberta. Previously, he admitted that the Great Reset was real. Now suddenly, it’s all a conspiracy theory. Someone really needs to ask him if Klaus Schwab sent him his book? I know that he sent his book to every world leader, governor/premier of every state or province, in every country around the world.

Kennedy himself is most likely not one of the elites who has conspired with Schwab nor was he probably bribed. He has adopted the draconian lockdowns simply under peer-pressure. Previously, the CDC said that vaccinating only 25% of the population is sufficient to reduce the flu. Now all of a sudden, Fauci claims 85% of the population must be vaccinated but never offers any science just opinion. Now we have people even talking about denying you employment or travel if you refuse to be vaccinated. Why is COVID so different when the death toll is no worse than any other flu except that of 1918?

The world population in 1968 was about 3.5 billion and 1 million people died from the flu. That was about a 0.028% death rate and they did not lock down the world economy and in fact, Woodstock took place that year. Today, they claim the 2.2 million have died worldwide, yet the population of the world is now 7.8 billion. That is still just 0.028%. The 1918 flu they claim up to 50 million dies worldwide with a population of only 1.8 billion. That meant that the death toll was 2.7% and they did not close the economy and destroyed small businesses and jobs.

Jason Kennedy has imposed drac0nian measures not because of any science, but because of peer pressure. That is not a leader. As we head into 2022, what these politicians have done is created their own version of #MeToo and have been against Donald Trump because he was a “populist” who threatened career politicians. There will most likely be a target of the heads of every career politician come 2022 to be voted out of office if they allow real fair elections. Kennedy is a disgrace to the people of Alberta. He forgot who elected him – not his peers unless they control the voting machines.

Why is Boris Johnson Destroying Britain?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Feb 4, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

It is not well known or perhaps deliberately not noticed by the left pushing for this Great Reset, but Boris Johnson is very much his father — Stanley Johnson. Many will find this shocking, but there is a lot more to the admiration Boris Johnson has for Bill Gates. Boris is fully on board with deliberately destroying jobs in Britain and claiming he will allow free education to retrain people for green jobs. He has destroyed the British auto industry, taking production back to 1984 levels. But this is just scratching the surface.

He has destroyed the British auto industry, taking production back to 1984 levels. But this is just scratching the surface.Video

Boris’ father, Stanley Johnson, is none other than from the same club as Bill Gates’ father and a eugenicist. Stanley changed his job to work for the Rockefeller Foundation in New York. All his ideas are that of Gates and Rockefeller, and he justifies cheering a reduction of 70 million people from the population in Britain to 10 million to enhance economic growth.

Back on June 3, 2020, I announced that I would not support Boris Johnson and that I saw him as a threat to Britain. I had my reasons behind the curtain, which I was unprepared to fully express. However, as they say, the apple does not fall far from the tree. Here, we have Boris following his father’s depopulation ideas, as is the case with Bill Gates following his father. Quite honestly, I do not understand that.

My father had a sign on the door the day I was born. He had put money aside for my education and law school. Granted, many say I would have been a great lawyer. But something did not attract me to the field, which at the time, I suppose I would never have been able to put my finger on. So my father pushed me into gaining a computer engineering degree, which was both hardware and software. So I can only assume that neither Bill Gates nor Boris Johnson ever really possessed an independent character, and this is perhaps why they both seek to impose their will upon everyone else since they became shaped by their father’s politics.

Borris Johnson is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, for just as they say your child is not your equal and you need to be the boss, they seem to have also denied them the ability to be independent. My father still was proud of my accomplishment despite the fact I did not follow in his footsteps. One of your most important goals as a parent is to raise children who become independent and self-reliant people. Not clones nor drones.

I question the upbringing of both Boris and Bill Jr., and that lack of independence is now threatening the entire world. This is just my opinion. I am not a shrink. Perhaps we need qualified people to really look at these two individuals OBJECTIVELY.

Federal Reserve & Conspiracy Theories


Armstrong Economics Blog/Banking Crisis Re-Posted Feb 4, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Hi AE….just an observation for you. Altho’ you have mentioned your disagreement with the points of view of such people as Ed Griffin (The Creature From J Island), Ron Paul (End The Fed), & Jeff Berwick (current best seller is Controlled Demo of The US), all of you are in agreement about the total & utter corruption of the US, & other, gov’ts. I would say further that it seems it took you longer to get there than the others, in realizing the depth of the problem, not wanting to use the conspiracy word. So…big picture, you’re all in agreement, but the details cause disagreement. I think your “defense” of the existence of the Fed doesn’t really matter, as there’s not gonna be any Fed, or anything like it, after the civil war has run its course. Just my thoughts, not a personal attack. Absolutely LOVE your blog….am hooked, like an addict.

HS

REPLY: Where I disagree with these ideas that the central banks are the enemy is that they are the scapegoats for the real problem has been the fiscal side — politics. These scenarios have focused on the fact that the Fed was originally set up as a bailout structure for banks to replicate what J.P. Morgan did to save the banking system in 1907. I pointed out that the “elastic money” the Fed was allowed to create from the outset was to allow them to buy-in corporate short-term paper when banks would not lend.

Then came World War I. In order to fight the war, Congress needed to create debt. They instructed the Federal Reserve to STOP buying corporate debt, being the lender of last resort, and buy government debt. Following the war, they never returned the Fed to its original purpose.

Still, each branch was independent because what was discovered from the Panic of 1907 was that the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 sucked in money from the rest of the country, leaving a shortage of cash in New York, resulting in bank runs. Therefore, the structure realized that we may have been one nation, but we were not one economy.

The dominant economic condition is one region was agriculture, another energy, another mining, another manufacture, and still another finance. Thus, each region got a branch of the Federal Reserve and each was independent so interest rates would differ to attract or deflect internal capital flows to prevent another 1907 Panic. While they no longer bought private debt to “stimulate” the economy only government, they did still retain their independence with interest rates.

Then comes along Roosevelt. He completely changed the structure of the nation to introduce socialism he called the New Deal. He did not stop with work programs, relief funds, and creating agency after agency like the SEC. FDR also completely changed the Federal Reserve. Where the banks did nominate the board in their respective regions, now the government nominated board members instead of the banks and he usurped the interest rates and folded them into one interest rate to serve the entire nation. Roosevelt changed the Fed from managing the economy on a domestic level and shifted it to international. The entire purpose of the Federal Reserve was now totally eradicated.

When World War II came, Congress usurped even the Federal Reserve power to create elastic money. They ordered the Federal Reserve to support the government debt to prevent interest rates from rising during the war (quantitative easing). They attempted to keep that power and it is the ONLY time that the Federal Reserve rebelled. President Truman announced that the Fed would comply with his decree, and they outright denied any such agreement. The Fed rejected the idea of continuing to support the government debt market in the face of the Korean War and asserted its independence. I have covered all of this in “Manipulating the World Economy.”

So while the conspiracy theories continue to paint the Federal Reserve as the enemy, this has been a total distraction and misinformation. They will no longer bail out the banks. Last March, the Fed began to lend on commercial paper for the first time since its origin in 1913, and the Federal Reserve is moving rapidly to accept direct deposits from institutions, thereby circumventing the banks altogether (see IMF; so much for the conspiracy theories that the bankers control the Fed).

So all these claims that the bankers are in charge of the Federal Reserve are just bogus. They keep looking at the structure that the bankers were the shareholders in 1913, which was because bailing out the banks was not to involve taxpayer money. It was to mimic what J.P. Morgan did, and the government never handed him a bailout to do it.

As for my “recent” conspiracy explanation,  this is by NO MEANS the same flavor that has been spinning around. The real source is coming from the World Econo0mic Forum — not from the central bankers. Schwab has cleverly taken control of most Western governments. Just look at who is the head of the ECB, IMF, and the EU itself. All have been or still are board members of the WEF.

This “Build Back Better” is a marketing slogan coming out of the WEF and just look at all the world leaders using the very same phrase. Johnson’s father worked at the Rockefeller Foundation, which was also linked to Gates’ father, and they both want to reduce the population of the world. If they do it with vaccines and policies instead of guns, then it is not genocide or a war crime.

Biden’s Climate Czar is a Davos boy of Schwab. Biden has a free reign, and the left press is trying to shut down all alternatives. They were even telling cable networks to dump Fox News. Why is free speech gone? Because they have an agenda and they are pushing forward at light speed, and like any communist revolution, you control the press to win the day. This is not the central bankers. Wake up!

Meanwhile, Washington will retain at least 5,000 troops into March, but the talk is they will remain until June and probably permanently. Biden has signed a lot of executive orders, but what people are not paying any attention to is that he has already sent troops to Syria, and he is not making the same mistake as Obama by asking permission from Congress. In addition, suddenly, Iran is just weeks away from having a nuclear weapon, which seems to be very convenient since they have been trying for more than 40 years to accomplish that one. This sounds like the Weapons of Mass Destruction.

They claim they need the troops in Washington because of Trump’s Impeachment Trial. Was this absurd unconstitutional impeachment trial that even the Chief Justice refused to attend because Trump is not a president, just another ploy to militarize Washington against the threat of revolution? Under these Democratic rules, they should be able to go back in time and Impeach Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer when the political cycle changes in 2022! Where does this insanity end?

The central bankers are not the problem. They do not have the tanks, guns, or the incentive even to control the world, end capitalism, and extinguish 50% of the population to save the planet. Just follow the clues. We do not need conspiracy theories, for Schwab’s agenda is fully in the open. However, people do not realize is that their intent is to ELIMINATE democracy, for we are the great unwashed and too stupid to understand the big picture.

So they all meet in Davos and kiss the ring of Schwab and push his agenda to eliminate democracy. Anyone who thinks the 2020 election had zero fraud should go kiss the feet of Schwab and off your children to sacrifice, handing them over to be indoctrinated in this new modern version of the Brown Shirts. He takes his lessons from history as well. I never kissed his ring. I only shook Schwab’s hand. So that does not make me a Davos Man.

Resistance is Not Futile


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Feb 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

In Bavaria, people have staged a massive protest against the draconian actions of Merkel which is really intent upon destroying the economy all for Laus Schwab’s Build Back Better campaign supported by Bill Gates and George Soros.

In Scotland, a woman with a store on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and was confronted by police. She stood her ground! There is hope when it only takes a few to start a kickback as a reader put it. These people are building a prison to prevent an uprising against a political system that is collapsing around the world. Governments cannot survive by just ordering central banks to buy their debt because they have destroyed their bond markets. Biden will follow that same path and we will see that same trend filter into the USA come 2022.

Governor Newsom of California has created stage #1 of the covid passport. If you get the vaccine, you will have a certificate on your phone. In this way, those who do not trust governments will not take the vaccine, and thereby they will be able to sort out the sheep from the wolves. Meanwhile, as companies are losing money because of COVID lockdowns, in California they ordered that companies MUST pay employees more money during this pandemic. The Grocery store Kroger Co announced they are closing because of this insane decree. Granted, Keynes did not have a degree in economics, but neither do any of these politicians. This is the ONLY thing politicians will come to understand when businesses just shut down and leave.

I am getting accounts from around the world with people starting to wake up to save the future for themselves and their children. The police who indeed claim they are just following orders are indeed no better than the Nazis who ran the death camps. Just following orders will not be sufficient as time moves on.

Hope as Police Defend the Protesters in Austria


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Feb 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Austria seems to have copied the Slovak tyranny.
Once commerce reopens in Austria, everyone will have to wear N95 masks, and in service-type establishments (hairdressers, etc) only those with a negative test certificate will be allowed entry. Also, kids will have to be tested twice a week in order for schools to reopen.

Slovakia has also set a similar condition for school opening that requires both kids and parents to be tested every week. Only if they are all negative will the kid be allowed in school. This also applies to pre-school (kindergarden) children.

PG

REPLY: The police have crossed the line in support of the people. This is the HOPE we need to nurture. Every person you know who has a family that is a police officer, we need to turn them to support the people. Nuremberg is the exact example. Just following orders will not cut it when the tide turns against governments which it will.

Iran & World War III


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Feb 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Thanks to provocative moves by Iran, President Biden is facing an increasingly uncertain situation when it comes to Iran, which has been America’s nemesis since the 1970s when they called the US the Great Satin. They have been pushing much of the Middle East’s instability for decades. The military in the last days of Trump dispatched B-52 bombers to the Persian Gulf in response to an alleged Iranian attack plan and reversed an order to bring home the USS Nimitz, the only US aircraft carrier in the region.

Iran has not only announced that it had resumed advanced uranium enrichment in violation of the 2015 nuclear deal, but they also seized a South Korean-flagged oil tanker and its crew. These actions coming just two weeks before President Biden’s inauguration seems to be playing out the reverse strategy of 1980. Back then, they held the American hostages captured from the embassy under Jimmy Carter and they suddenly released everyone when Ronald Reagan took office. This time it was Trump who was anti-war so the tensions rose now with Biden.

This time Iran has covert support of China and Russia and it may be simply a proxy to unleash war in the Middle East, which the US defense industry will certainly welcome after the four years of austerity under Trump.
