Trudeau – A Modern-Day Caligula?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Jul 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Nathaniel Pawlowski delivered a powerful speech to the European Parliament, where he called Justin Trudeau a modern-day Caligula. Pawlowski’s father, Artur Pawlowski, has been arrested numerous times for simply speaking out against the tyrannical Canadian government. Artur Pawlowski was a vocal advocate for medical freedom and continued to speak up for the people despite threats from the government. “Government has fallen,” the younger Pawlowski said, stating that Canadians have lost all freedoms under the rule of the Young Globalist WEF Leader Justin Trudeau.

Artur is being charged with criminal mischief for preaching to the Trucker Convoy in a 19-minute sermon, deemed a radical act of terrorism against the Canadian government. “If a pastor goes to prison, what can they do to the rest of us?” the son pleaded, asking the remaining free world to help his father before his trial in August. He called Trudeau a “modern-day Caligula” for stripping Canadians of all rights and ushering in tyranny under the guise of COVID. He called out the WHO for structuring a way to take away our rights as well.

You can read more about Caligula here. He is remembered for opulence, incest, and outrageous rulings, such as naming his horse a senator. While he was a poor ruler, I believe Trudeau is far more tyrannical. There are other emperors who emerged over the long course of the Roman Empire who truly struck down the people and removed all freedoms at whim.

Commodus is a good example. Commodus believed he was a god – Hercules reincarnated – and demanded to be worshipped. Commodus renamed the calendar, declaring that all the months of the year were to be renamed corresponding to his twelve names: Lucius, Aelius, Aurelius, Commodus, Augustus, Herculeus, Romanus, Exsuperatorius, Amazonius, Invictus, Felix, and Pius. He decreed that all the legions were to be renamed. Commodianae, the fleet which imported grain from Africa was termed Alexandria Commodiana Togata. Even the Senate was to be renamed the Commodian Fortunate Senate. These insane decrees were instantly abolished upon his death when he was assassinated on December 31, 192 AD.

Edward Gibbon wrote of him in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire:“[D]istinction of every kind soon became criminal. The possession of wealth stimulated the diligence of the informers; rigid virtue implied a tacit censure of the irregularities of Commodus; important services implied a dangerous superiority of merit; and the friendship of the father always insured the aversion of the son. Suspicion was equivalent to proof; trial to condemnation. The execution of a considerable senator was attended with the death of all who might lament or revenge his fate; and when Commodus had once tasted human blood, he became incapable of pity or remorse.” (Book 1, Chapter 4)

Still, there are more tyrants amid the Roman Empire who condemned all freedoms and appointed themselves as God over the people. Dare I refer to King Herod Antipas who arrested and later beheaded John the Baptist for speaking out against the tyrant’s marriage to his own sister-in-law, or the notorious Emperor Pontius Pilate who crucified Jesus for speaking against the government and former way of life? Those in charge do not like to have their authority questioned, even if it is in a peaceful manner.

A Devastating Video for the Career of Tucker Carlson


Posted originally on the CTH on July 19, 2023 | Sundance 

If you did not watch the two-hour+ video of Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate [Rumble Link Here], you might not have the correct perspective for just how devastating this video is for the career of Tucker Carlson.

However, that said, this video is very useful in explaining something about Tucker Carlson that has been discussed, debated and argued on these pages for quite a while.  First, watch the video. [6 minutes] WATCH:

.

Tucker flew all the way to Romania to interview Andrew Tate and present him as the victim of a horrible prosecution.  Tucker went out on a limb to portray Tate as wrongly accused.  When your entire brand is based on judgement and opinion, you cannot be as wrong as Tucker Carlson was in that portrayal of Tate.  You just can’t.

Here’s the bigger issue….

This video shows something very important.  Tucker Carlson is above average intelligence, above average communication skills, above average vocabulary, but Carlson also has ordinary and average judgement.

When your brand is established only on your judgement, and insightful opinion based on that judgement – and make no mistake the entire Carlson brand is completely organized around those two characteristics, you cannot afford to be this wrong.

With the evidence of that lacking judgement so clear, it then serves as a very specific and clear data point to reconciling other issues, like Tucker Carlson using the Twitter platform to showcase his Tucker Carlson Tonight broadcasts.

Readers here have long known my opinion of Twitter, and that analysis has equally applied to the current disposition of Elon Musk.  Twitter CEO Elon Musk is teetering on the precipice of financial ruin as a result of the extremely unstable financial position of the social media enterprise.  Twitter is a bottomless pit of costs, with almost no possibility of financial recovery without some major change in the business model.

The financial position of Twitter is the only prism that matters in the review of decisions that Elon Must is making about the platform.  Free speech, liberty, safe opinion, the public square, all of it is less than the financial viability of the company.  Every large or seemingly consequential decision on the platform is centered around the finances therein.  Despite what might be the front face or intent of Mr Elon Musk, nothing else is more important, influential or determinative of his action.

Carlson’s lack of judgement in the Andrew Tate interview, extends toward and explains his relationship with Twitter and Musk; it’s just bad judgement.

Keep this reference point in mind as you weight the opinion and analysis provided by Tucker Carlson.

NATO – Escalates Nuclear War


Armstrong Economics Blog/NATO Re-Posted Jul 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

What has come out of this NATO meeting is the West is escalating the war with Russia. They are expanding the “sharing” of nuclear weapons at the request of Poland, which has always been rejected previously. This means that any nation with F35 and F16 will have available to them nuclear weapons. This is why Russia has warned that handing Ukraine F16s will mean that they must now assume they could be carrying nuclear weapons, and rightly so for Ukraine is driven by its hatred and is by no means a responsible nation-state. NATO knows that.

The entire reason NATO will not really allow Ukraine to enter while it is at war has little to do with its legal code. The Neocons are using Ukraine as their sacrificial lamb on this altar of war. As long as Ukraine is not a member yet, the Neocons can funnel everything to them; they hope that Ukraine will create some false flag to justify nuclear war with Russia as their dream come true. As RFK has pointed out, immediately upon his return, Biden ordered the deployment of 3,000 more reservists to Europe. This is simply preparing to fight Russian forces on the ground in Ukraine/Europe.

Victoria Nuland is now the #2 in the State Department. Her sister-in-law Kimberly Kagan founded the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which is the source of much of the fake news. All the ISW does is put out propaganda about Russia that they are corrupt and weak and that we can take them down in a few weeks without nuclear weapons. This family has its roots in Ukraine. Most curious, even the New York Times wrote about this Kagan family that they were really leftists and very outspoken to the point of manipulating whatever to gain their view of the world. The question is, just why is this family such warmongers? We have a major undisclosed conflict of interest, and the Biden Administration should immediately fire Victoria Nuland and all her supporters within the Biden Administration to save the world and our nation.

Victoria Nuland is really of Ukrainian Jewish descent. Her family changed their name to try to hide their Jewish ethnic background. She really would be Nudelman, not Nuland. She is actually the daughter of Yale bioethics and medicine professor Sherwin B. Nuland, who changed his surname from Nudelman to Nuland. She retained her family name Nuland to perhaps further hide her Jewish connection by marrying Robert Kagan. Victoria speaks Russian, French, and some Chinese. Hiding her Jewish background is critical. Her father was raised by parents who were Orthodox Jewish immigrants from Ukraine. Hence, her grandparents were Jewish Meyer Nudelman (1889-1958) and Vitsche Lutsky (1893-1941). This explains why Nuland has been a public proponent for Ukraine to wage war against Russia.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi are desperately trying to broker a peace deal. But Zelensky is pure evil. He has sold his own nation out to the Neocons for a handful of silver offered by Blackrock and JPMorgan. My Ukrainian sources have their eyes open. Zelensky is destroying Ukraine to capture the Donbas and Crimea, which have Russian Indigenous people they hate passionately. This is like trying to solve the differences between Sunni and Shite in the Middle East – not going to happen. Zelensky is simply a war criminal, and this is a land grab since the Ukrainian ethnic people have never occupied the Donbas.

Khrushchev was in charge of rebuilding Liev after World War II and drew the border for that province simply for administrative purposes, for it was Russia at the time. Khruschev grew up there in the Donbas, and he was followed by Brezhnev who was also born and raised in the Donbas. So we are to wage World War III for territory that has NEVER been Ukrainian? In Moscow, there has been a debate for decades about who is Russian. Stalin was from Georgia, and neither Khrushchev nor Brezhnev was born in Moscow.

Under the Ukrainian theory that the Donbas is Ukraine, Ukraine set the entire Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 in motion. Does that mean that Ukraine is the real former enemy, not Russia, since Khrushchev set that in motion? This seems to explain Victoria Nuland’s sheer hatred for Russia and her constant push for war along with her husband and the propaganda from her sister-in-law at the Institute for the Study of War that is always being quoted by the press.

Handing F16s to Ukraine, combined with this NATO shift toward a nuclear-sharing agenda, means that Russia must now consider Ukraine a nuclear threat. This is an insane escalation, and it is all being driven by this Neocon dream to annihilate Russia from the face of the planet. Meanwhile, inside Russia, their anti-war experts oppose claims from their Neocons to launch a preemptive nuclear strike. This has come out and made it clear that such a push is extremely irresponsible, according to Russia’s influential think tank. There will always be pro- and anti-government segments no matter what country you visit.

Unfortunately, the Neocon thinking is to judge others by what you yourself would do:

“I know you will punch me in the face, so I will defend myself and punch you first!”

They created the Institute for the Study of War – not PEACE. They live for war – that is all they ever preach. This is their time, and they have seized all the power of the White House and will declare war, bypassing Congress and call it a required response under the NATO treaty; thus the people, nor Congress will have any say in creating World War III. This is why the 2024 election MUST be rigged for anyone other than Biden might ask questions.

Tucker Carlson Kills Mike Pence’s Presidential Dreams         


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jul 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Some may have seen the viral clip of Tucker Carlson’s interview with Mike Pence. This interview will be remembered as the nail in the coffin for Pence, who could not hide his Neocon agenda. “Every city in the United States have become much worse in the past three years. Drive around – there is not ONE city that has gotten better — it is very visible.” Carlson said to an utterly apathetic Pence. Carlson passionately reminded the former vice president that the country has degraded entirely, our economy is failing, and crime is on the rise. He even pointed out that suicide rates are sharply increasing because the people feel completely helpless with no hope for the future. We desperately need help at home, and at minimum, a leader who has a pinch of empathy for America. Again, Pence showed no emotion and actually seemed angry that Carlson dared to question his stance on Ukraine.

So why then, Mike, are you concerned about America not doing enough for Ukraine? We already sent them tens of billions in funding (hundreds of billions actually) and no one even knows where the money went. Carlson correctly commented that most Americans cannot even point out Ukraine on the map. “Where is your concern for the United States in all of that?” Carlson asked. It was not a trick question. How did Pence respond? “That is not my concern,” Pence honestly stated.

Yes, a man who wants to run to become the leader of the formerly free world said the hardships faced by Americans are simply NOT his concern. At least he was honest. It makes it easier when politicians state their true motives out loud. Some are calling this Pence’s “Bud Light moment” because there is no coming back from such a comment.

Neocons like Mike Pence genuinely do not have empathy for “their people” because “their people” are not the commoners like us but the Neocons and the military-industrial complex that profit big on endless wars. So he expects the people to vote him in as the Republican candidate when he said screw the US, the economy, and the hardships faced by all Americans? He was unable to quell his anger and pride after Tucker Carlson put him on the spot, so he said exactly what he was thinking. American politicians are not concerned about America, and that is why we are failing as a nation.

Further Evidence of WWIII – DoD Budget


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Jul 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Department of Defense (DoD) drastically changed its budget plan. The left is constantly complaining about how America spends too much on defense, and the White House originally decided that there would be around a 2% increase in the budget for 2024, which is average. Now, the Department of Defense is planning a 10% increase in military spending for 2024.

We are allegedly not at war, so why is the government planning a 10% increase on an $880 BILLION budget? That is a massive increase for a country allegedly not at war. The proxy war was planned long ago (see: “The Plot to Seize Russia), and the chess pieces are now in a position for the US to engage in warfare unapologetically. They need to pull the trigger on this plan before November 2024. This is the PLANNED election cancellation plan.

The US must be engaged in a full-scale war for Joe Biden to remain in power. The world knows that the lights are on and no one is home, so to speak. Biden is rapidly losing his cognitive abilities in front of the world and no one dares to impeach him for the numerous offenses made against the US. There are plenty of other candidates who even those on the left would chose ahead of Biden. The problem becomes Biden is bought and paid for – an easily managed puppet of the deep state. They need their puppet to stay at the forefront to prevent anyone from interrupting their plan.

We will not have a real 2024 US Presidential Election. They have already put funds aside for the war, and will no doubt ask for more. No sitting president has ever been ousted during a war and this is the Neocons last chance to secure power. World War III already started.

Top Men Close Investigation into White House Cocaine – Secret Service Say Too Difficult to Trace Ownership


Posted originally on the CTH on July 13, 2023 | Sundance 

Well, I guess that’s that.  The top men in charge of investigating the cocaine that was found in the west wing of the White House have said it was too difficult to figure out where it came from. The case is now closed.

CNN — The Secret Service has concluded its investigation into the small bag of cocaine found at the White House and has been unable to identify a suspect, according to a statement from the US Secret Service.

Secret Service officials combed through “security systems” and indexed “several hundreds individuals” who entered the West Wing in the days preceding the discovery and were unable to identify a suspect, according to the USSS statement. The Secret Service said FBI lab results from the packaging found “insufficient DNA” and could not retrieve any fingerprints. “Therefore, the Secret Service is not able to compare evidence against the known pool of individuals,” a statement from the USSS said.

Investigators were also unable to identify the particular moment or day when the baggie was left inside the West Wing cubby near the lower-level entrance where it was discovered.

“There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area,” the agency’s statement said. “Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. At this time, the Secret Service’s investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence.” (more)

Twitter Court Filing Cites Alarming FTC Conduct Pressuring Consent Decree Arbiter to Target Elon Musk and Company


Posted originally on the CTH on July 13, 2023 | Sundance 

Prior to Elon Musk taking control of Twitter, the social media company entered a consent decree with the Federal Trade Commission putting a neutral arbiter from Ernst & Young in an oversight position for the company’s privacy, data collection and information security protocols.  Given what we know about DHS and FBI control and influence over Twitter content, there is a certain irony in the prior position of the FTC regarding user privacy.

That said, Twitter’s new parent company X Corp filed a court motion Thursday [PDF HERE] asking a federal court overseeing the settlement to either throw out the consent decree entirely, or put it on hold until the FTC turns over documents to Twitter showing historic bias against the company. Twitter is also seeking to bar the FTC from deposing CEO Elon Musk over issues that preceded his arrival.

Within the filing, Twitter presents some alarming information as shared by Ernst and Young about the FTC pressure applied to them.
