Armstrong Interview in Germany with CAP TRADER
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Launch Attack Against British Royal Family

Rich entitled multi-millionaires launch an attack against rich entitled multi-billionaires while resting comfortably in a residence paid for by the benefactors they attack.
If I searched for 24 hours I doubt I could find a f**k for me to give them. However, that said, these elitist pontificating silver-spoon weirdos must have an agenda to position themselves as a victim for some reason. Most likely they are seeking relevance, personally and financially, by requesting sympathies from the ever-sensitive U.S. ‘fee-fee’ tribe.
Prince Harry literally does this while his grandfather Prince Phillip is on his death-bed. What a self-indulgent @ss.
Oh, and President Trump was obviously correct…..
(VIA AP) – The implications for the interview — which was broadcast Sunday evening in the United States and will air in Britain on Monday night — are only beginning to be understood. Emily Nash, royal editor at Hello! Magazine, said the revelations had left her and many other viewers “shell-shocked.”
“I don’t see how the palace can ignore these allegations, they’re incredibly serious,” she said. “You have the racism allegations. Then you also have the claim that Meghan was not supported, and she sought help even from the HR team within the household and was told that she couldn’t seek help.”
The younger royals have made campaigning for support and awareness around mental health one of their priorities. But Harry said the royal family was completely unable to offer that support to its own members.
[…] The couple had faced severe criticism in the United Kingdom before the interview. Prince Philip, 99, is in a London hospital recovering from a heart procedure, and critics saw the decision to go forward as being a burden on the queen — even though CBS, rather than Harry and Meghan, dictated the timing of the broadcast.

Cue the Prescient Trump soundbite…
Is Europe Finished?
Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN Re-Posted Mar 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
COMMENT: Well Marty, I guess you ever holding another WEC here in London will never happen. I feel like I am in prison.
GH
REPLY: Europe is totally in the hands of Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum which is pushing this new Global Marxist Takeover. I do not think I will ever see London again. These new laws of 10 years in prison for failing to reveal where you have been in Britain are just ruthless. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is imposing new border restrictions that could include systematic quarantine for all visitors from abroad and the use of localization and facial-recognition technology to check that people required to do so remain in isolation. I don’t think you will see American tourists watching the changing of the guard.
Meanwhile, in France, Macron is moving to impose a third lockdown with his communist medical experts and scientific government advisors demanding total lockdowns to further the total destruction of the European economy. Macron has called up 4,400 officers to enforce a 6 pm curfew in Paris amid compliance concerns.
Then Merkel in Germany said back in January that she was considering extending Germany’s lockdown until April in an effort to contain what she reportedly called the ‘British virus.’ Then on March 3rd, 2021, Germany extended its lockdown by three weeks until March 28th, yet claiming it would ease some restrictions to allow nonessential stores and other businesses to reopen in areas with relatively low infection rates.
Europe is finished. It is totally in the hands of the World Economic Forum. Forget tourism and all of this is being imposed deliberately to destroy the economy so they can BUILD BACK BETTER. You cannot rebuild anything until you destroy it. Curiously, they have always blamed Nero for burning down Rome so he could build his Golden Palace. It looks like this time it is Klaus Schwab who I predict history will NOT treat kindly when freedom to write returns.
Like the Euro, they never allowed the people to really vote on joining that currency in Germany. Kohl stated he acted like a dictator because he knew he would lose. This is the very same thing. They are using this virus to terrorize people so they can destroy the economy and then BUILD BACK BETTER – Green!
It certainly appears that the British pound is still very much at risk of making new historic lows into 2022. The destruction of the British economy is just astonishing. Johnson managed to create a drop in GDP of nearly 10% in 2020 – the worst decline in 300 years. He appears to be trying to do a better job this year with hopes of creating a 15% decline.
Meanwhile, in the United States, John Kerry is the Davosman, and Biden is signing executive order after order and has never made a single speech since taking office – no president has ever done this! This begs the question who is really running the government right now? This has been the greatest fear with Biden that he is not all there and Harris, with no international experience whatsoever, is going to take the role of international relations. The Deep State is in full control and Schwab seems to have at least a few strings into the White House.
Eastern Europe New Political Block
Armstrong Economics Blog/European Union RePosted Mar 4, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
The Central European countries are forming a block uniting AGAINST the rise of Marxist/Communism emerging from Brussels. I have been in contact with reliable sources and I can still confirm that I do not see how Schwab and his associates will succeed. It is impossible for them to conquer the world with their leftist Great Reset. Even the proposition that you will own nothing and be happy does not seem plausible insofar as success is concerned. They are counting on allowing the borders to be flooded with people from the third world to use that to overpower the domestic citizens.
I do not see China, Russia, or Central Europe lining up to kiss the ring of Klaus Schwab. I do not care how much money Gates and Soros throw in bribes behind the curtain to support the Great Reset. They will seriously damage the economy of the West by shifting the financial capital of the world to China, but they will not conquer the world as they are the real “Dreamers” in the equation.
Rome Police Defend Protesters in Solidarity
Armstrong Economics Blog/Italy Re-Posted Feb 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
Many people have written in to say this is all too depressing. I explain that by posting what is taking place globally, you can see that RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE. I reported previously how the police in Naples turned and joined the protesters. Now the same is taking place in Rome. The people are starting to rise up. One reader just wrote in about Pennsylvania. Resistance is starting to appear everywhere. It is building as we move into 2022. Schwab, you better head to Mars sooner than later as you list among your 8 predictions for Agenda 2030!
There are more businesses pushing back now and not following Gov Wolf’s mandates and business guidelines. Following the 3 week shutdown that covered Christmas and New Years, when many businesses that were supposed to shutdown, did not shutdown and remained open for the duration in defiance. Now many businesses are following up with not enforcing the mask mandates, capacity restrictions, travel restrictions and other mandates, that many are just ignoring. Now there still are some true believers, but many in this area of PA are just moving on. A lot are just saying NO to the prick (Fauci and vaccines). Will be interesting to see where this all goes
Civil Unrest in Spain for the 5th Night
Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Feb 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
Spain has imprisoned a rapper for insulting the government in his Tweets. Barcelona and many other Catalan cities, along with Madrid have been erupting in civil unrest as people protest to demand the freedom of rapper Pablo Hasel, who the government sentenced to prison for nine months because of his tweets which were insults against the Crown and the police. These protests, which began in Barcelona against the Mossos d’Esquadra, the Catalan police force, which in turn responded with smoke bombs. These protests are reflecting the frustration over the lockdowns which have erupted into riots, fires, and even looting.
The build-up of frustration has led to civil unrest erupting on just about any excuse. This is more than just a protest over the wrongful imprisonment of Pablo Hasel. This is simply a reflection of the totalitarian state that governments are trying to impose using this virus as the justification to hide their real agenda – the Great Reset.
Amsterdam Has Retaken Financial Capital of Europe? Was this Cyclically on Time?
Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN Re-Posted Feb 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
EURONEXT has now beaten out London retaking back the financial capital insofar as stock trading is concerned thanks to Boris Johnson and of course BREXIT. The numbers are in and Amsterdam surpassed London with an average of €9.2bn shares a day traded on Euronext in January 2021, which was been a 400% increase over December compared to London trading which dropped to €8.6bn retaking its historic position that existed before the Dutch lost it to London.
In 1689, the English Parliament declared that James II had abdicated by deserting his kingdom which was to exclude him and his Stuart heirs because they were all Roman Catholics. Parliament declared that “it hath been found by experience that it is inconsistent with the safety and welfare of this protestant kingdom to be governed by a papist prince”. Thereafter, the Sovereign was required in their coronation oath to swear to maintain the Protestant religion. Parliament in turn offered the throne to William (reigned 1689-1702) and Mary (reigned 1689-94) as joint monarchs.
They had to accept a Bill of Rights drawn up by a Convention of Parliament thereby restricting the Sovereign’s power and reaffirmed Parliament’s claim to control taxation and legislation. Hence, therefore, this Bill ensured Parliament could function free from royal interference forbidding all future sovereigns from suspending or dispensing with laws passed by Parliament in addition to maintaining a standing army in time of peace without Parliament’s consent. Moreover, the sovereign was also forbidden to impose taxes without Parliamentary consent. It was the lack of representation in Parliament by the American colonies which gave rise to the no taxation without representation slogan of the American Revolution.
One of the Dutch William’s main reasons for accepting the English throne was to reinforce the struggle against Louis XIV of France. William’s foreign policy was dominated by the priority to contain French expansionism. England and the Dutch joined the coalition against France during the Nine Years’ War, 1689-1697. Eventually, France was compelled to recognize William as King of England under the Treaty of Ryswick (1697),
The Bank of England was established in 1694 as the expertise from Amsterdam was imported to London. The Bank of England was used at first to raise money for the war by borrowing. It did not circumvent the King’s financial reliance on Parliament, as the national debt depended on parliamentary guarantees. Yet, William’s Dutch advisers were resented in London. In fact, in 1699 his Dutch Blue Guards were forced to leave the country.
The Royal Exchange had been founded by English financier Thomas Gresham and Sir Richard Clough on the model of the Antwerp Bourse. Gresham represented the English crown in Antwerp. Gresham convinced the Crown to open the Royal Exchange in London in 1565 using the Antwerp model. However, it was first known as “the Bourse” until Queen Elizabeth I, after a visit on January 23, 1570, changed its name to the Royal Exchange. It was opened by Elizabeth I of England in 1571. Gresham saw the need for a central place where foreign exchange dealers could meet and conduct business. He recognized the deplorable state of the money supply and that this now made foreign exchange dealers a necessity for trade. He constructed the London Exchange between 1566-1568. It finally received royal recognition and thus it became known as the Royal Exchange in 1571. Unfortunately, it was completely destroyed in the Great London Fire of 1666.
Actually, during the 17th century, stockbrokers were not allowed in the Royal Exchange because they were regarded as rude huxters. Stockbrokers were seen as a lower class compared to foreign exchange and debt. They were confined to off-exchange establishments such as Jonathan’s Coffee-House. Where Llyod’s Coffee House emerged as the place for insurance eventually becoming Lloyd’s of London, the stockbroker began in a coffee house administered by John Castaing who first began listing the prices of a few commodities, such as salt, coal, and paper in 1698. This eventually moved to Garraway’s Coffee House where public auctions began to emerge. They would last based on the length of a tallow candle that could burn. They became known as “by inch of candle” auctions. As the activity grew, the trade began to attract more companies forming which became an IPO market to raise capital. These are the earliest evidence of organized trading in marketable securities in London which was the resurrection of stock trading from Ancient Rome.
The Royal Exchange established by Thomas Gresham was destroyed in the Great Fire of London which was a major event that swept through the central parts of London from Sunday, September 2nd to Thursday, September 6th, 1666. The fire actually destroyed the medieval City of London which was inside the old Roman city walls. Eventually, the Royal Exchange was rebuilt and re-established in 1669. It was at this time that the stockbrokers joined the Royal Exchange bringing an end to the coffee house period. However, the second Royal Exchange also burned down, on January 10th, 1838. It had been used by Lloyd’s insurance market, which was forced to move temporarily to South Sea House following the 1838 fire.
The current Royal Exchange building was constructed in 1840 and stands opposite the Bank of England. Gresham’s Royal Exchange surpassed Antwerp first because of the fire in 1583 which destroyed the Bourse. Yet it was immediately rebuilt to the same plan. Then came the Siege of Antwerp (1584-1585) and the surrender to the Spanish Army which killed the Dutch trade. Antwerp was simply unable to compete with Amsterdam and London.
What is most curious is that 2021 is precisely 314 years from the birth of Great Britain. The events from the year 1707 created on May 1st the Treaty of Union and its ratification by the 1707 Acts of Union. The fact that Amsterdam has retaken the lead in stock markets seems to be right on schedule.
Boris Johnson has destroyed the British economy and produced just about a 10% decline in GDP for 2020 – the worse collapse in 300 years! So here we have Amsterdam overtaking London in 2021 which is 314 years from the birth of Great Britain. It is amazing how rapidly Boris Johnson has wiped out the British economy.
Putin’s Warnings at the World Economic Forum
Armstrong Economics Blog/Russia Re-Posted Feb 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
Putin’s speech at the World Economic Forum was quite insightful. He said that we “are seeing a crisis of the previous models and instruments of economic development. Social stratification is growing stronger both globally and in individual countries. We have spoken about this before as well. But this, in turn, is causing today a sharp polarisation of public views, provoking the growth of populism, right- and left-wing radicalism and other extremes, and the exacerbation of domestic political processes including in the leading countries.”
While referred to the crisis as being similar economically to the Great Depression, he pointed out that it is “inevitably affecting the nature of international relations and is not making them more stable or predictable. International institutions are becoming weaker, regional conflicts are emerging one after another, and the system of global security is deteriorating.” Indeed, the Hillary allegations that turned the 2016 election into a joke where she manufactured evidence to claim she lost because of Putin, has done far more damage as resurrected the cold war. Putin warned that “the situation could take an unexpected and uncontrollable turn – unless we do something to prevent this.” Biden has immediate sent troops to Syria and ordered the building of a new base there.
Putin elaborated: “There is a chance that we will face a formidable break-down in global development, which will be fraught with a war of all against all and attempts to deal with contradictions through the appointment of internal and external enemies and the destruction of not only traditional values such as the family, which we hold dear in Russia, but fundamental freedoms such as the right of choice and privacy.”
British Economy Declines Worse in 300 years – Thanks to Boris & his Buddy Bill
Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN Re-Posted Feb 12, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
The official numbers are in. The British economy shrank 9.9% in 2020 thanks to the deliberate actions of Boris Johnson who should be dragged out of office, tarred, feathered, and stripped of all benefits. He is an absolute traitor to the British people and has sold out Britain to Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates following his father’s anti-population theories. If he and his father are so concerned about population growth, then they should set the example and jump from the clock in Big Ben. This is the greatest economic disaster to hit Britain in 300 years!
