Milei Stands Alone Against United Nations


Posted originally on Sep 26, 2024 By Martin Armstrong   

avier Milei has done incredible things for Argentina. He carried the nation out of socialism-induced poverty and has been warning the globalists that their vision for a socialistic society will not be successful. Milei delivered a powerful message at the United Nations General Assembly, warning against the catastrophic attempt to create a  “socialist-style supranational government program.”

The United Nations is openly discussing how it will take sovereignty from all member nations. They believe that nations should give up sovereignty for anything they deem an emergency to push out their goal for the New World Order. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been aiding the UN in undermining individual national sovereignty under the premise that it is for utilitarian purposes.

These non-government, unelected entities are openly attempting to remove all human rights. These groups are backed by billionaire philanthropists like Bill Gates who are eager to start the next pandemic to use as an excuse to remove national authority. Milei said that the plans for power are promoting “a toxic relationship between global governance policies and international credit agencies,” saying that the most regulated countries will be forced to become “perpetual debtors” to “promote the global elite’s agenda.” They are attempting socialism on a worldwide scale where wealthy nations will be demonized. Part of Agenda 2030 clearly dictates that America can no longer be a superpower; in fact, no one nation can be a superpower, as all power will be held by the elite few.

Schwab 2030 Overthrow USA 1

Javier Milei criticized the entire counsel in-person and said that the UN has become “a multi-tentacled leviathan that aims to decide not only what each nation-state should do, but also how all the citizens of the world should live.” Milei warned against the dangers of the World Economic Forum’s Agenda 2030 and the Pact for the Future. “What is being discussed – this week, here, in New York, at the Summit of the Future – is nothing other than the deepening of that tragic course that this institution has adopted,” Milei continued.

Agenda 2030 has been around for many years, yet it is deemed a conspiracy by those who are too afraid to accept it as fact. Milei called the globalist plan “nothing other than a supranational government program, socialist in nature, that seeks to solve the problems of modernity with solutions that infringe on the sovereignty of nation-states and violate people’s right to life, liberty and property.”

The president proudly stated he would no longer remain neutral about this blatant corruption. He showed impressive bravery by speaking out directly against these agencies when no other world leader is willing to do so. The world needs more leaders like Javier Milei who represent the PEOPLE.

UN One World Government

[Agenda 2030] “is an agenda, which aims to solve poverty, inequality and discrimination with legislation that the only thing it does is to deepen them . Because the history of the world shows that the only way to guarantee prosperity is by limiting the power of the monarch , guaranteeing equality before the law and defending the right to life, liberty and property of individuals,” he added. Every single attempt at socialism and communism has failed miserably and resulted in nations crumbling.

“If the 2030 Agenda failed – as its own promoters acknowledge – the answer should be to ask ourselves whether it was not an ill-conceived agenda to begin with, accept that reality and change course. One cannot pretend to persist in the mistake by redoubling the bet on an agenda that has failed. The same thing always happens with ideas coming from the left: they design a model according to what human beings should be – according to them – and when individuals – freely – act otherwise, they have no better solution than to restrict, repress and restrict their freedom, ” Milei criticized.

How can we permit this globalist cabal to decimate our freedoms? No indepdent constitutions would exist. The globalist cabal would have more power than all nations combined. The New World Order is not a conspiracy, but rather, a clear-cut plan that global agencies are openly constructing as the people turn a blind eye.

Coming to a Theater Near You

1908 Corrup Elections

Two powerful movies are coming out before the election, demonstrating how polarized this has become and the shenanigans taking place to rig this election. A grand jury was found even back in 1908, and it was “doubtful if there has been an honest election for years.” When Scotland had its referendum on leaving the UK, the extent of corruption that was used to ensure that the vote would fail was off the charts. The people they wanted to separate from were sent to count the Scottish votes.

stalincountthevote

We have been fooled for centuries. When people get power, they just never want to give it up. That is human nature. This election is between the Neocons vs We the People. You are not voting for Kamala; you are voting for the established Deep State that runs the place all the time. They wanted Kamala, who is like Biden and will sign whatever they put in front of her. Will there ever be an honest election ever?

While I would like to believe in the Constitution and government will be honest, just for once, I know that is being just a fool denying reality. I also know that there is no talking to 40% of the people on either side of this political divide because there is no chance of changing their minds and a greater chance of me only getting frustrated. As Julius Caesar said over 2000 years ago, people believe what they want to believe. All we can do is stand on the sidelines and understand what is coming.

Senate Homeland Security and Govt Affairs Committee Releases Interim Report on Butler Assassination Attempt of President Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on September 25, 2024 | Sundance 

The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee (SHSGAC) wants everyone to know that the Secret Service really made a lot of mistakes in Butler, Pennsylvania, leading to the attempted assassination of President Trump.

Multiple systemic failures of U.S. Secret Service protocols took place.  Ultimately, mistakes were made.

[READ REPORT HERE]

“The Committee finds that USSS failures in planning, communications, security, and allocation of resources for the July 13, 2024 Butler rally were foreseeable, preventable, and directly related to the events resulting in the assassination attempt that day,” the committee reported.

“The Committee also finds that siloed communications and coordination problems between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials remain unaddressed and were a contributing factor to the failures at the July 13 Butler rally,” it added. ~ John Solomon

The Senate report comes on the heels of the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, telling President Trump that U.S. intelligence has identified Iran as the most likely group attempting to organize death threats and activities against him.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams Indicted by DOJ


Posted originally on the CTH on September 25, 2024 | Sundance

The New York Times is reporting that a federal indictment is soon to be unsealed against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.  Details of the indictment are unknown.

New York Times – Eric L. Adams, a retired police captain who was elected as New York City’s 110th mayor nearly three years ago on a promise to rein in crime, has been indicted following a federal corruption investigation, people with knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday.

The indictment remained sealed on Wednesday night, and it was unclear what charge or charges Mr. Adams will face. But when they are made public, he will become the first New York City mayor to be criminally charged while in office.

The indictment promised to reverberate across the nation’s largest city and beyond, plunging Mr. Adams’s embattled administration further into chaos just months before he is set to face challengers in a hotly contested mayoral primary. (read more)

Canada Halts Digital Loonie


Posted originally on Sep 25, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

CBDC

Over 130 nations are attempting to create a digital currency as we move toward a cashless society. I recently explained how Australia is prioritizing a wholesale CBDC with a retail one to follow. The Bank of Canada recently shelved plans to create a digital Loonie, but rest assured this is a mere pause as the world will move to digitalization.

“The Bank has undertaken significant research towards understanding the implications of a retail central bank digital currency, including exploring the implications of a digital dollar on the economy and financial system, and the technological approaches to providing a digital form of public money that is secure and accessible,” the bank said in an email statement. The fact of the matter is that Canada simply could not determine how to execute a digital Loonie properly. The bank will now focus on “evolving” its payment system.

One aspect most nations are facing is that it would be easier, seamless even, if every developed nation agreed to go digital. But, more on that later.

Canada 50

The Bank of Canada released “The Role of Public Money in the Digital Age” in July 2024 to discuss the importance of creating a digital currency to “uniform money.” The central bank identified the following risks:

“Over that horizon, three interrelated and overlapping trends pose risks to the monetary system. First, the overall digitalization of the economy and financial system is increasing demand for digital payments. Second, due to the first trend and other conditions, use of cash has been declining at the point of sale for many years. The third trend is the emergence and proliferation of private cryptocurrencies and digital assets, including foreign CBDCs. These trends pose risks to the monetary system through three mechanisms: • increased potential that fragmentation of the monetary system could create inefficiencies • increased ability of issuers of private forms of money to exert market power • increased difficulty implementing timely and adequate regulation due to the rapid pace of change”

Unlike Australia, Canada sought to tackle retail immediately and stated cash was “no longer a viable payment option.”

The central bank recognized their legal right to have a monopoly over the money supply and noted that cryptocurrencies were threatening their overall power. Central banks DO NOT want people to use crypto as an alternative to their currency and will do everything to prevent it from happening. “When different forms of money (including alternative units of account) compete in a jurisdiction, users need to monitor both risks and exchange rates, and the resulting frictions provide scope for the issuers of these alternative forms of money to exert market power. Ultimately, these frictions and abuse of market power reduce the efficiency of the economy,” the report stated.

Now the central bank recognized it could not simply cancel the currency without public backlash. They fear that the public will use alternative payment methods, and so the plan was to slowly phase out physical money. “We do not suggest a “CBDC alone” approach. On the contrary, in the status quo policy, the availability of retail public money interplays with the evolution of the regulatory components of the monetary system to ensure their continued effectiveness.”

As I have stated countless times, money is whatever someone is willing to accept as payment, be it gold or seashells, as in ancient times. The public at large is not ready to accept a CBDC if they are presented with a choice. If Canada were to implement a digital Loonie, it would run the risk of people using other currencies or crypto to complete transactions.

IMF_Digital_Currency_to_Replace_the_Dollar

The bank said it will continue monitoring GLOBAL retail CBDC progress as all financial institutions await the moment when they can align their activities. This is why we see a heightened need for biometric data and digital identifications, which will one day tie into your financial accounts and you simply will not have a choice in digital or physical currency if paying on the grid.

Governments will become increasingly tyrannical as we move towards 2032 and the end of this private wave. The globalists’ ideal monetary system would entail one universal currency, similar to what the International Monetary Fund has been developing for years. Canada, an IMF member, has decided to await future global developments, but do not mistake this pause for a ceasefire in the war on cash.

Digital ID You will Beg For!


Posted originally on Sep 25, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

US Combined Capitol Hill 2022

QUESTION: You have said that this border crisis has been brought on to rig the 2024 election. How will this play out for the election?

SC

ANSWER: I do not see this ending well at all. It is one more ploy that will have society pleading for digital ID as the solution to this crisis. They will pitch the idea that had we had digital ID, this crisis would never have taken place. Europe is already planning this same biometric-digital ID. You have hospitals wanting to scan your palm and Amazon saying you can buy with just your palm being scanned.

This immigration crisis is clearly twofold. The Democrats instigated it, just as I have said that I encountered when trying to negotiate with Australia on behalf of Hong Kong. They are in a declining bear market, making lower highs and lower lows. They will collapse just as the Federalists did because they preach a big centralized government that always fails.

Deep State 1

That is what instigated the border crisis. Then you have the Deep State, which is paranoid like Joseph Stalin, and they want to track absolutely everyone, and that extends to the political beliefs and economic condition. Just as in 9/11, they love crises because they always use them to expand their power. As I have said, I know that the first World Trade Center terrorists drew the Twin Towers on the wall of their cell with planes going into them. They knew the plot and let it happen if they had not helped it along.

Zelensky_Pursue_Nuclear_Weapons_2 23 22

The very day before Russia crossed the border, they had Zelensky stand up and publicly state that Ukraine was going to rearm itself with nuclear weapons. He knew Russia was on the border and wanted to make sure they invaded.

Zelensky Did not warn people Washington Post 8 19 22

Zelensky admitted to the Washington Post that he knew when Russia would invade. He had that intelligence from the USA. His comment about seeking nuclear weapons the day before was to make sure Putin took the bait to start this entire war. He knew and was told to make sure Putin crossed the border.

Digital ID 2

The Border Crisis was instigated on the very first day Biden took office. This was to flood the country to influence the 2024 election. The Deep State did not organize this. However, they have seen the opportunity as they did with 911. The solution to the election crisis and the illegal aliens will be accelerated when we have domestic terrorism that they will blame on Chinese illegals, some 40,000 so far, who are here to destroy the USA. They have deliberately allowed terrorists into the country, and they will use this for war against China and to lock us down, as COVID was the dress rehearsal.

To be patriotic, you will surrender and agree to a Biometric Digital ID so they can filter out the terrorists. You will beg for the Biometric Digital ID; they always benefit from a good crisis. Those in the bowels of DC are paranoid like Stalin. They fear losing power, and everyone is a potential threat – We the People.

Capital 6 2021

The media does not wish to reveal why Pelosi delayed the National Guard on January 6th. They were concerned that most people in the National Guard were Trump supporters and feared they might be allowing a Trump army to take Washington, DC. Some Guardsmen were asked who they voted for. Simply put, the National Guard only shows up to D.C. when they’ve been invited, and the Capitol Police did not extend that invitation until after the breach, according to a source with knowledge of the process, who was not authorized to speak about it on the record according to the Military News.

2021 Pelosi Fence

Pelosi ordered the fence to be put up again in 2021 because there was a protest in support of the January 6th protesters.  The government is terrified of the people, and they know that their policies are creating tremendous discord that will unfold in the form of more civil unrest. This will most likely reach a boiling point regardless of who wins the election.

The damage that took place by the LEFT when Trump was inaugurated is an example of what we should expect. In fact, the City of Washington was sued by business owners because the police just let them do as they liked. The City had to pay $1.6 million is damages.

They intend to restrict traveling inside Europe, and Americans will need a Visa as of January 1st, 2025 to even visit, killing their tourist trade. The EU is frightened about revolution. They are well aware of the 1848 Revolution that swept Europe. It began in Sicily and engulfed all the countries, even overthrowing the French government. Their solution is to prevent people from traveling to cut off any possible widespread revolution. They will use climate change, and you will have a “carbon footprint,” and they will determine if you have traveled too much for the year.

Air Canada Y

They will do the same in the USA, all to retain power because they are scared to death of We the People. Most airline stocks peaked in 2020. Why? Most are showing high volatility by 2026. The markets are picking up this trend in airlines of many countries.

Zelensky at the UN – No Peace Talks Just Conquer Russia


Video Zelensky’s Victory Plan is World War III. He wants unrestricted access to long-range missiles and to attack Russia on a major scale. He is telling everyone that peace talks are out of the question. This is the time to destroy Russia. Everything he says has been just a lie. There were peace negotiations, and both sides were ready to sign. His Victory Plan depends entirely on the West handing him long-range missiles.

Ukraine_Hryvnia Y Array 5 17 24

If Putin does not respond forcefully, he will be overthrown, and the Russian Neocons will seize control, and our computer shows a flatline on Ukraine until 2027. It will be wiped out. I have never seen this pattern show up in any country in our modern era.

Zelenskyy Johnson

Borris Johnson flew to Kiev and told Zelensky he was NOT ALLOWED to have peace with Russia. This has been about creating World War III so they can default on all debts, institute the new central bank digital currency, impose Biometric ID, and restrict travel worldwide.

Merkel_Minsk_Buy_Time_to Prepare for wart

Ukraine signed the Minsk Agreement. The Donbas were to be allowed to hold their elections and separate from Ukraine. It was to split according to ethnic lines, the same way Yugoslavia broke up. The Neocons wanted war, and the Donbas were not to be allowed to split, so they lied and negotiated a treaty to only allow Ukraine time to build an army and then refused to honor the treaty.

Yogoslavia_map_of_breakup

These people will take us into World War III no matter what. Zelensky is just an actor, and what he is doing is a crime against all humanity. How many millions will die for what he is proposing?

Here is the Neocon Lyndsey Grachm. He told the truth. This is not about democracy, the sovereignty of Ukraine, or the Ukrainian people. This is about a huge gas field under Crimea that he admits is $10 to $12 trillion, and they do not want Russia and China to get their hand on it.

Lyndsey could care less if any Ukrainian is still alive when this is done. His personal hatred of Russians is famous.

Consumer Confidence – Biggest Crash Since 2021


Posted originally on Sep 24, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

ECM Wave 2020 2028 Pi

COMMENT: Marty, it is amazing that the world is not focusing on your model. Consumer confidence in the US took a nose dive, which was the largest decline in more than three years. The ECM turns, and central backs began to cut rates within weeks, and you explained that recessions are born when people lose confidence in the future. Well, everything you have taught us is always correct. I do not know what it will take to wake up. The WSJ, FT, and every business publication should be reporting on your forecasts. It appears they are just part of the fake news.

Keep up the fantastic work.

BB

2024_09_24_21_03_10_Consumer_confidence_fell_more_than_expected_this_month

REPLY: I am not entirely sure why the WSJ and the FT, among others, will not discuss the ECM. They only preach the traditional Keynesian Economics that is still taught in universities, maintaining that the business cycle is not definitive. Thus, it is random, so it can be manipulated under Keynes to eliminate recessions and depressions. That was the same storyline I was taught in school back in the ’60s.

NewYorker Cover

Other than Nick Palmgarten at the New Yorker, who called the ECM the Secret Cycle, no major media has ever wanted to discuss that there is a definitive aspect to the business cycle. That goes against all the Ivy League universities. I suppose they do not want to rock the boat. I had a discussion about this model with Paul Volcker back in 1999. Paul agreed the business cycle was about 8 years. He had even put out his book entitled Rediscovery of the Business Cycle.

Burns Arthur

Anyone who has had real live experience has conceded there is a definitive business cycle. Arthur Burns was Fed Chairman when Bretton Woods collapsed. He, too, concluded that the business cycle always won.

Milton Friedman

Milton Frieman came to listen to one of my lectures in Chicago. Milton said I was doing what he had only dreamed about. He had written that a floating exchange rate like we have today would emerge back in 1953 – 18 years before it took place in 1971. Milton understood the global interconnections, and that is why he came to listen to me.

CALLMONY MA

I tried the BS random walks theory, which seems to be created by people who cannot predict anything. Even Keynes’ whole theory does not hold up. The market has NEVER peaked with the same level of interest rates twice because it is NOT some stupid one-dimensional relationship. I warned the ECB that going to negative interest rates would fail. If there is NO CONFIDENCE in the future, people will not spend – PERIOD!!!

With the prospect of wars everywhere, Kamala promised to change the filibuster rules so she can get Abortion through to kill unlimited amounts of babies, creating deep divisions and then taxing UNREALIZED gains that our computer warns would result in the biggest 2-year crash of the Great Depression levels, with such uncertainty, we are headed into a recession into 2028.

Crash Burn Plane

It’s hopeless. We have to crash and burn before anyone dares consider any new possibility.

Trump Assassin Was Registered on DHS/FBI Watch List, but “Fell Through the Cracks”


Posted originally on the CTH on September 24, 2024 | Sundance 

We are the non-pretending audience that doesn’t need to have the points of continual similarity pointed out.  However, there is something rather remarkable about those in Washington DC who never seem to be able to connect the same proverbial dots.

In the latest development of attempted President Trump assassin Ryan Routh, the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI are now admitting that Routh was on a watch list of Americans who traveled to fight with Ukraine.  The people on the watch list were supposed to be scrutinized and tracked when they reentered the USA.  However, Ryan Routh, “fell through the cracks,” thereby giving him space and opportunity to carry out his long-planned assassination attempt against President Trump.

The revelation itself is not a surprise.  There is a consistent pattern of names registered with the FBI as potential threats to the homeland who “fall through the cracks,” including the Tsarnaev brothers (Boston Marathon), Tashfeen Malik (San Bernardino terrorists) and Omar Mateen (Pulse nightclub).  It is always the crack fallers who seemingly end up carrying out their endeavors.

It’s likely the only reason DHS and the FBI are admitting to the almost fatal “mistake,” is because there is a document trail for Ryan Routh which will come to light as an outcome of DC’s “assassination review task force.”  After all, Ryan Routh met with “someone” in Washington DC, when he was there advocating for intervention.

Someone was likely to discover that Routh was on a list of people supposed to be monitored, so DHS/FBI release the information to cloud any non-pretending suspicion upon them.

WASHINGTON DC – […] The Department of Homeland Security in 2022 launched an interagency effort to scrutinize Americans returning from Ukraine’s war zone. The previously unreported effort aimed to identify Americans who might turn violent upon their return, according to five people familiar with the plans.

Officials across DHS and the FBI began attempting to identify Americans in talks with Ukrainian authorities and analyzing intelligence about Americans headed home from the country. They also reviewed social media accounts for violent rhetoric. There is no evidence that Americans who fought with Ukraine’s military — which the U.S. government supports — have engaged in political violence upon their return. Many have died there fighting Russian invaders.

But Ryan Routh, the suspect who investigators say could have been waiting for the former president with a semi-automatic rifle for more than 11 hours near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, fell through the cracks.

One DHS official reportedly knew Routh traveled to Ukraine, though there’s no indication that the FBI ever investigated him upon his return and during his years-long and at times bombastic campaign to drum up support for Kyiv. It’s also unclear if federal law enforcement was aware he wrote a self-published book that appeared to call for Trump’s assassination. And on Sept. 15, he allegedly got within 500 yards of the former president before the Secret Service spotted him and opened fire. (read more)

As you take off your shoes and undergo extensive scrutiny as a result of the Patriot Act, the subsequently formed DHS and the TSA, it’s worth remembering, as initially sold, the creation of the DHS was specifically intended to stop domestic terror threats, ie. EXACTLY the activity that Ryan Routh was engaged in.

The justification to create the DHS and subsequent intrusive activity of the United States security apparatus, was to stop unstable and sketchy people from carrying out violence internally within the homeland.   However, as many voices warned at the time, the mission of the agencies created by The Patriot Act, actualized with DHS and FBI conducting surveillance of parents at school board meetings, monitoring white men in the U.S. military, tracking pastors, preachers and Christian congregations, and registering law-abiding gun owners while the sketchy and unstable simply run amok.

Your sneakers and belt are a threat.  Ryan Wesley Routh, eh notsomuch.

Sooner or later historians will admit, our current result is a feature, not a flaw, of the Patriot Act intent.

Sean Combs’ Body Guard Claims Music Mogul Kept Tapes of New York Politicians at Sex Parties


Posted originally on the CTH on September 24, 2024 | Sundance

Something seriously corrupt has been happening inside New York City politics ever since the FBI seized the phones and personal communication networks of City Mayor Eric Adams. In the past several months, multiple political officials have resigned or departed from their jobs.

Keep in mind, the lead agency doing the investigative review is the FBI. According to ABC news, “Federal investigators have visited more than a dozen members of his administration, taking devices from the police commissioner (who then resigned), the head of the public schools and other trusted confidantes both in and out of City Hall.”  For whatever reason, the FBI are zeroed in on Mayor Eric Adams and those around him.

Into this sketchy and opaque situation in New York, comes a report on the heels of the FBI targeting Sean “Diddy” Combs for Epstein level sex trafficking, wire fraud, racketeering, transportation to engage in prostitution, perverse parties called “freak offs” and various other sick and twisted perversions.

(Daily Mail) – […] Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ former bodyguard revealed the disgraced rap mogul kept tapes of politicians taking part in his infamous ‘freak off’ sessions, and claimed his arrest is tied to an alleged corruption scandal currently gripping New York City politics.

Gene Deal, a former insider who protected Diddy through the 1990s, told The Art of Dialogue podcast that the producer’s indictment could expose high-profile officials and celebrities in the Big Apple.

‘This is all bigger than Diddy,’ he said, without naming who the alleged tapes are of. (read more)

It’s enough to make you wonder if the two points of FBI focus (Mayor Adams’ administration & Sean Combs) are connected?

If there is any issue related to Sean Combs that represents a risk to high-profile celebrity democrats (likely), the presence of the FBI would be to protect the interests of the political leverage the connection represents.

In historically accurate terms, the FBI would be covering, controlling, shaping and mitigating the risk in favor of those most politically useful to the government.  Those of lesser value would be left exposed to the legal consequences of their perversions.

Is that part of what’s happening in New York City?
