Lindsey Graham on the Real Reason Behind Ukraine


Posted originally on Jun 12, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

What happened to the story that “Putin attacked Ukraine unprovoked, and Ukraine was just defending itself, etc”? Now, suddenly, the problem is the natural resources in Donbas, not Ukraine itself. The first victim in war is always the truth. These people have NEVER told the truth about any war EVER!!!!!!

Crimia Gas 1

I have stated before that there is a huge natural gas reserve under Crimea. All the Neocons are doing is constantly trying to conquer Russia and bankrupt it so they can invade, and it has been the same scenario constantly. Obama wanted to invade Syria, and Putin came to their aid. this was all about a pipeline they wanted to put through Syria to cut off Russian energy sales to Europe. The Neocons orchestrated the blowing up of Nord Stream. That undermined Germany and Europe – but as Victoria Nuland famously said, “Fuck the EU.

The question of Palestinian reserves was confirmed back in 2019. I covered the gas reserves in Syria’s occupied Golan Heights in 2017 involving Genie Oil. Obama wanted to invade Syria all for pipelines. What the press reports never connects the dots. Obama was pushing for a pipeline through Syria to stop Russia from supplying energy to Europe. This has been a war against Russia for decades.

The Neocons after blowing up Nord Stream, promised to pay for a pipeline from Nigeria to Europe. When the Niger coup took place, that is why Victoria Nuland was on a plane to Niger. US taxpayers fund the Neocon dreams of war. We blow up Nord Stream and then pay for a pipeline from Nigeria.  The deal with Nigeria was that they had to be the first Digital Currency guinea pig, and the US taxpayer would fund a pipeline from them to Europe to cut off energy sales from Russia.

Now Lindsey Graham has come out and admitted that the “resources” under Crimea are worth $10 to #12 trillion, and this is again to stop Russia from gaining that natural gas.

As I said before, I was solicited to put in $10 billion to take over Russia back in 1999. I refused. The story was that I would earn 10x that amount. They were looking at the vast wealth of natural resources. Make no mistake, this is a conquest agenda to strip Russia of all its assets. Napoleon and Hitler attempted the same for the same reasons. In 1917, Russia had the largest gold reserves EVER in the world. They hid them so the Communists would not get them. To this day, nobody knows where they are.

Ukraine War Wealth

Our sources are saying that the Ukrainian casualties, civilian and military, will most likely exceed 1 million. As I said before, nobody expected Ukraine to win. This has been all about weakening Russia, and then NATO will walk in. NOBODY cares anything about the Ukrainian people. This is not about protecting the poor Syrians from chemical weapons from the government. It was about a pipeline. It is always a lie. I was in Japan when there was a huge protest against sending troops to the Gulf War. The people BLAMED their military, who always were also NEOCONS, for bringing Japan to destruction. All I ever heard was an apology for their government. One day, the West will wake up and come to the same conclusion. We are being betrayed by the enemies within.

In his Face the Nation Interview, Lindsey Grahm said the same shit I was told back in 1999 – get Russia’s wealth. He said:

“It’s now time to give them the F-16s, let them fly the planes, long range artillery to hit targets inside of Russia. Go after Putin’s assets, wherever they’re at, all over the world. Go on the offensive. I think this summer, Ukraine will regain military momentum.”

….

“But what did Trump do to get the weapons flowing? He created a loan system. They’re sitting on 10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in- in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe. I don’t want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China. If we help Ukraine now, they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of, that 10 to $12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West, not given to Putin and China. This is a very big deal how Ukraine ends. Let’s help them win a war we can’t afford to lose. Let’s find a solution to this war. But they’re sitting on a gold mine. To give Putin 10 or $12 trillion for critical minerals that he will share with China is ridiculous.”

Tucker Carlson Discusses Latest FBI Whistleblower Evidence – FBI Security Clearances Issued Based on Political Ideology


Posted originally on the CTH on June 11, 2024 | Sundance

The granular issue of this specific whistleblower story pertains to an FBI investigative employee who had his security clearance suspended after officials within the FBI discovered he attended a speech given by President Trump.

However, the bigger issue uncovered during a review of that punishment was written FBI instructions from within the sector of the FBI that investigates and issues security clearances.  In essence, the FBI has a documented standard that political ideology determines who will get security clearances approved.

If a person supports President Trump, holds conservative views, or does anything that would identify themselves as not being in alignment with the leftist worldview, their security clearance application or renewal would be denied.  Put another way, the FBI has written policy examples that discriminate against political views.

This should not come as a surprise.  Factually, when CTH outlined how the Obama administration began to implement the process of filtration and purging of government agencies, we pointed out how the FBI security clearance investigative section was the first sector changed.  Obama and Eric Holder then began the process of denying security clearances.  {GO DEEP – Fourth Branch of Govt}.

Macron and Biden Now Lying Russian Assets at Zelensky’s Feet


Posted originally on Jun 11, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Zelensky Money Hungry

Macron and Biden do not represent their respective nations as they act in ways that are an utter detriment to national interests. The French and American leaders have agreed to surrender frozen Russian aid to Ukraine in the form of a loan.

The West confiscated around $280.9 billion from Russia, which Reuters believe generate up to 3.5 billion euros in annual profit. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has been pleading to release these stolen funds to Ukraine.

“It is necessary and urgent for our coalition to find a way to unlock the value of these immobilized assets to support Ukraine’s continued resistance and long-term reconstruction,” Yellen claimed in February 2024, adding,  “I believe there is a strong international law, economic, and moral case for moving forward. This would be a decisive response to Russia’s unprecedented threat to global stability.”

Talks are ongoing, but the US is prepared to service $50 billion of the forthcoming loan. The G7 nations (the UK, Italy, France, Canada, Germany, and Japan) are slated to support this move.

Russian Tank 1

On the D-Day event this year, where Macron and Biden disrespected proud veterans by calling for a new global conflict, Biden apologized to Zelensky for withholding aid and blamed the conservatives. Need I remind you the NEOCONS are on both sides of the aisle?

Lindsey Graham said, “President Zelenskyy, he lit up like a Christmas tree,” when he suggested handing over frozen assets to Ukraine AND seizing additional Russian assets still in the US. “We have Russian money in America we should seize. We should make Russia a state sponsor of terrorism under U.S. law,” he also commented. Graham went as far as to say that the money the West stole from Russian citizens was actually Putin’s money, and he was the thief responsible for their loss.

State terrorism? Do we freeze the assets of any nation acting in a way that displeases the US? Should we sanction China as well for Taiwan? The Chinese are certainly wondering if that is what is to come, and they have long stopped buying US debt. It is as if the United States just detonated an economic nuke on itself.

Russia has repeatedly stated that it would consider misusing these assets, which were illegally confiscated in the first place, an act of war. Putin has been rather patient in allowing these funds to sit idle. The G7 is declaring this a LOAN, meaning they feel entitled to these stolen assets. They know that Ukraine does not have the ability to repay this “loan,” and as we have seen countless times, no amount will ever be sufficient for Zelensky. This move may be the catalyst that sets the stage for the next portion of this growing global conflict.

It’s the Always the LEFT Who Are the Threat to Democracy& Liberty

Marx ten commandments socialism

Throughout history, the LEFT is ALWAYS more violent because at the very core of their belief system is that they are always the victim who is not as successful as others, and they tend to be brainwashed into this mantra that has been around for thousands of years. Their actions violate the Ten Commandments, which are rooted in prohibitions one finds in the legal codes of Assyrians and Babylonians. That makes sense since Abraham came from the City of Ur, an important Sumerian city-state in ancient Mesopotamia.

Sparta Coinage Spears

The ancient city-state of Sparta, which waged war and defeated Athens in 404 BC, was the classic battle between the Left and the Right. Sparta was a communist state, standing against democracy and private wealth. To prevent individual wealth and decadence, Sparta refused to mint coinage when every city in Greece issued its own coinage. Sparta only used these iron spits for transactions to ensure nobody would ever be able to have too much.

1928 Berlin Revolution

The LEFT is always more violent, which has been the course of events for thousands of years. Unfortunately, this is our fate, which resides at the basic foundation that promotes civil unrest, revolutions, and even international war.

Interesting Development Inside Hungarian Election Outcome – Transparent Activity by U.S. State Dept and CIA


Posted originally on the CTH on June 10, 2024 | Sundance 

All political watchers will understand the #1 EU political enemy of the WEF globalists and U.S/NATO State Dept is Hungarian President Viktor Orban.  The western globalists, leftists, communists and advocates of multinational corporations running government (ie Fascists) consider Orban their arch nemesis.

To wit, USAID and CIA operative Samantha Power has spent time organizing political opposition in Hungary.  However, for some reason the nationalist alliance in alternative media do not have a good memory to keep track the footprints and connect the dots; but we do.

The reality of our State Dept organizing political opposition in Hungary is not disputed. It was done openly.

Fast forward a year+ since Mrs Power, aka Mrs Cass Sunstein, was on the ground in Hungary doing her color revolution activity, and what you we see blazing across all leftist media headlines today, “Orban Invincibility Shattered as Hungarian Upstart Takes Off”…  Hmmm, Suspicious Cat assembles notes.

♦ (Bloomberg) – “Upstart politician Peter Magyar smashed Hungary’s image as a country with no alternative to Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s rule by surging to second place in European Parliament elections.”  (link)

♦ (Reuters) – “Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party was on track for its worst result in a national or EU vote in nearly two decades at Sunday’s European Parliament election, where a political newcomer trounced all other opposition parties.” (link)

♦ (Politico) – “Péter Magyar  — a former ruling party insider-turned-rival — and his Tisza party scored 29.7 percent, with 99 percent of ballots counted. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz and its smaller allies scored 44.6 percent, significantly lower than polls had predicted.” (link)

Do a little review and digging and you find Mr. Peter Magyar was inside Orban’s party but stifled by Viktor Orban never leaving power.  A classic career conundrum position.  Then suddenly, something spurred Mr Magyar to depart the party of Orban and organize a fast (check timeline for synergy with Samantha Power in Hungary here) party in opposition. …”A political newcomer, Magyar swooped into Hungarian politics earlier this year.”

Bingo presto… Ms. Power visits Hungary, Mr Magyar departs Fidesz party and creates the Tisza party. …” In a whirlwind campaign across Hungary, Magyar organized the biggest anti-government protests since Orban’s return to power in 2010.” (link)

What’s the wedge issue play?

This one is easy….  MONEY!

The EU is holding back billions owed to Hungary because the EU doesn’t like that Orban refuses to maintain the Ukraine narrative as pushed by the State Dept./NATO.   President Viktor Orban talks too nicely about Russia and wants a peaceful solution to the fighting.   As Reuters notes, “Orban has roiled EU and NATO allies by maintaining close business ties with Russia even after its invasion of neighbouring Ukraine and by refusing to send weapons to Kyiv.”

…”The EU continues to withhold about €20 billion ($22 billion) of funding earmarked for Hungary due to graft and rule-of-law concerns during Orban’s 14-year rule, which has seen the once liberal, anti-communist leader morph into a far-right politician with close ties to Russia and China. He’s ruled by decree since the Covid-pandemic.” (link)

Mr. Peter Magyar says if he takes power, he can get the €20,000,000,000 back for Hungary, easy peasy.

I bet he can.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been directly in the crosshairs of the western alliance, specifically the EU and U.S. bureaucrats who use their power, position and intelligence apparatus to manipulate foreign nations.  Check the timeline for the creation of the opposition party and you will note USAID Administrator Samantha Power in Hungary openly discussing her seeding of NGO’s and political activist systems in order to generate another color revolution. {Direct Rumble Link} – WATCH:

USAID in Hungary

There you go….  That’s what is happening.

Follow the timeline.  Mr Peter Magyar assembles his Tisza party, exactly after Samantha Power was in Hungary organizing political opposition to Viktor Orban.  This one is so transparent, it’s obvious.

Canada Institutionally Rationalizes Oppression


Posted originally on the CTH on June 10, 2024 | Sundance

Ever since the U.S. election of 2016, and to a lesser extent the Brexit referendum months earlier, I have read a dozen or so government publications about the general subject of interference in the election process.  What I find common amid each of those government reviews, is a general leftist theme that democracy must be protected from election outcomes.

I know that last sentence sounds a little goofy, but that’s because leftism is exactly that weird and fraught with hypocrisy.

Keep in mind, right now in Europe Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has banned any political opposition and cancelled elections in his country in order to “preserve democracy.”  Meanwhile, the western politicians clap like seals and beclown themselves in support of the ridiculous assertion.

Do you remember the statement, “words progressives do not support are defined as violence; and violence progressives do support are defined as protests.”

Well, in the electoral version of that same theme, election outcomes leftists do not support are defined as threats to democracy; while manipulated election outcomes the leftists do support are defined as trustworthy.

This is the essential context for a rather alarming publication from the Canadian Government that says many of their elected politicians are working for foreign governments.  The Canadian National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians published a report last week saying unnamed lawmakers in Canada’s parliament (and there are many of them) have helped foreign actors meddle in Canadian government.

[READ REPORT – SOURCE HERE]

CANADA – […] Heightened anxiety in Ottawa about foreign interference comes in the middle of historic global elections where factors such as artificial intelligence and emboldened foreign powers are testing the resilience of democratic systems.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been on the defensive since the allegations broke Monday. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the government to name names.

“The national security committee indicates there are members of this House that have knowingly worked for foreign hostile governments,” Poilievre said Wednesday. “Canadians have a right to know who and what is the information — who are they?”

The findings put pressure on Canada’s national police force to investigate potential criminal charges. The report also refuels debate on the ability of the federal government’s deterrence mechanisms to curb foreign interference in a country whose political and legal system is considered one of the highest-performing in the world.

The committee with top-security clearance said it based its findings on more than 4,000 documents and some 1,000 pieces of evidence. Its report said China remains the largest foreign interference threat to Canada with India the second.

The intelligence included a claim that unnamed parliamentarians are taking direction from unnamed diplomats to “improperly influence” their colleagues or parliamentary business to the benefit of a foreign state.

[…] The Trudeau government called an inquiry into foreign interference in September in the wake of claims that the Chinese government helped mobilize voters against a Conservative candidate in western Canada and helped elect another as a Liberal in the Toronto area.

It tasked Justice Marie-Josée Hogue with investigating foreign interference and election meddling, a topic that has also captured the interest of U.S. Congress.

[…] An initial report released by Hogue last month observed that the government’s messy handling of foreign interference has undermined the public’s faith in Canadian democracy. (read more)

To reassure the public the Canadian government and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s administration have stated that sunlight on the named politicians who are working on behalf of foreign governments will not be permitted.

No one in public will be allowed to know which politicians are working as foreign agents.

If you are a Canadian trucker against COVID mandates, you are a threat to democracy.  If you are a Canadian politician working as a foreign agent, it’s all good.

How about that, eh?

Biden and Macron Bow to Zelensky at D-Day Event


Posted Jun 10, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

US President Joe Biden met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to once again discuss America’s role in funding Ukraine’s war with Russia. Biden publicly apologized to Zelensky for delaying the $61 billion aid package, as US Senators have stalled the bill in a failed attempt to coerce Biden to invest in his own country. The entire D-Day memorial was shamefully transformed into a public spectacle to promote the West’s war against Russia.

I apologize for those weeks of not knowing what’s going to happen in terms of funding. Some of our very conservative members [of Congress] were holding it up. But we got it done, finally,” Biden said. “We’re still in. Completely. Thoroughly.” Where is his apology to Americans for recklessly spending to the point of no return on endless wars that he will expect them to die in for an unjust cause? Now America can’t let Russia actually win this war that the West carefully orchestrated. Prolonging the war is dependent upon Western funding.

Zelensky compared the situation with Russia to World War II, ironically, and said the United States and Ukraine must stand “shoulder to shoulder.” Zelensky said it was once again America’s duty to “save Europe.” Biden obliged by committing another $224 million to Ukraine.

President Macron of France was also on board with celebrating a future Ukrainian victory rather than honoring the troops in attendance. “I’m sure that a day will come when Ukraine will see the same jets in our skies that we saw in Normandy skies yesterday,” Zelensky later told French politicians. “Your combat aviation, brilliant fighter jets under Ukrainian pilots’ command will prove that Europe is stronger, stronger than evil which dared to threaten it.”

Romanticizing the idea of another world war on D-Day is one of the most pathetic propaganda techniques yet. I doubt the veterans in attendance would want any young men to endure that suffering on behalf of politicians who do not care about the people they represent. These world leaders are keen on ushering in World War III regardless of the will of the people.

European Elections Promise a Chaotic Summer

ECM Wave 2020 2028 Pi

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, you were right again, or your computer was, that the June elections would be a major upset. The far right has gained in France, Germany, and the Netherlands. You said in London that Le Pen should win in the 30% range. It looks like she has 31.5%.

Well done!

HH

Le Pen Marine

REPLY: This should come as no surprise; I am more astonished that politicians are so ignorant of the trend that they appear once in power; they become drunk and assume they can do as they like, and their own people cheer. Turn the economy down as our ECM has done as of May 7th, 2024, and the politics will ALWAYS change. I do not even need Socrates to make that forecast. It is a simple historical fact. Even Herbert Hoover was elected at the top in 1928 and since the ECM peaked in 1929.75, they were naming shanty towns – Hooverville. Of course it was not his policies, but that does not matter. Turn the economy down, and you will ALWAYS get political change or civil unrest.

DAD40 W Array 6 9 24

Macron has called a Snap Election June 30th with the second round July 7th. Mcron was the peacemaker at first, but he has flipped and become the leader of the warmongers. I have warned that was likely because his popularity had crashed and as such they think that they can retain power by going to war for typically in war people do not change horses. However, when we look at the dates, we have a Directional Change for the week of June 3rd, and that has panned out as expected, with serious political gains for the far right. Now look at the target of July 8th, when the second round will take place. Note the sharp right in volatility leading into a Panic Cycle by the end of July.

France CAC40 M Array 4 24 24

Even when we look at the timing array from last April, May was the target, and then look at the trend from June into August with a Panic Cycle in September. So far, these European politicians have created inflation, attacked farmers without just cause, threatened war with Russia, and ignored citizens’ concerns, yielding to extreme movements such as the Climate Change nutjobs without ANY scientific evidence whatsoever. They have stood by silently while the American Neocons blew up Nord Stream, singing fuel prices higher and undermining the German economy. But, hey – we have to get Putin! Is it any wonder why the LEFT has lost? Even the Greens in Germany lost big time. Philippe Lamberts of Germany’s Greens/EFA had to admit that the exit poll was “not a victory” for their movement.

After initial projections, the far-right in France with the National Rally (RN) party of Le Pen came out on top with 31.5% of the vote, more than double the share of Macron’s Renaissance Party, which barely made it to second place with 15.2% of the vote, just ahead of the Socialists in third with 14.3% of the vote.

In Portugal, it was their center-left Socialist Party (PS) that appeared to be heading for a marginal victory as they positioned less than 1% ahead of the center-right Democratic Alliance (AD), according to an exit poll from the European Parliament.

Manfred Weber, the chair of the European People’s Party (EPP), one of the war-mongering establishments, said he would try to shut far-right parties out of any governing coalition. This is how arrogance prevails over democracy. He effectively declared business as usual. He was turning more to the left, urging them to be more mainstream and join the EPP’s “pro-European, pro-democratic alliance.”

IBEUUS W Array 6 9 24

Even when we turned to the Euro, this coming week was a Directional Change once again confirmed a political upset on the June 9th elections.

Fed vs Treasury – Hillary vs Obama


Posted originally on Jun 9, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Fed v Congress1

COMMENT: A friend watched your interview on USAWatchdog, and his response was that you were wrong that the FED doesn’t need anyone to buy the debt. The FED can print as much money as Congress cares to spend. I was stunned that he did not comprehend that the FED is not the issuer of the debt—that’s the Treasury. I think some people do not understand the fiscal vs. monetary system. It might help the novices if you elaborated on that.

He said he never heard about that January 6th coup. I told him that you informed paying clients within a few weeks of January 6th about what went down. I’m glad you finally put that out for the general public. I know it was risky back then.

Is the computer able to forecast Michelle Obama vs. Hillary being drafted?

BTW. Great interview.

WL

Supply Demand

REPLY: I think you have a point. Many people have been confused by the constant pretense that the FED runs everything. I suppose that emerged because of the Quantitative Easing (QE). When you hear there is a deficit of $7 trillion or whatever, that is the FISCAL side that has nothing to do with the FED. They do not issue the debt; that is the Treasury. The Federal Reserve can ONLY set the short-term interest rate. Long-term rates, such as mortgages, are set by the private sector based on supply/demand.

10 3mn yield curve

When there is a financial panic, people run for cash – short-term as assets and long-term debt declines. You will see an INVERTED yield curve at times when the short-term rates go above the long-term. We saw a rash of bank failures when rates went up because the short-term was virtually zero, and they were buying the long-term. However, when short-term rates rose, bonds took a nose-dive because you then must compensate for that increase in the interest rate for the full duration of the bond.

Gold Inflation

Now, the question that the government CANNOT default because it can print the money is the typical lack of understanding, mainly because that was a sales pitch to sell gold. Here is an old advertisement to sell gold from the early 1980s. The problem was gold declined for 19 years while the deficits continued to rise. The inflation scenario did not work!

Gold declined for 19 years

Look, the war and default go hand-in-hand. The Treasury will default on foreign holders who they deem to be adversaries – this is why China is starting to sell. The notion that the Fed would simply print all the money to redeem the outstanding debt is absurd. That would ruin the economy and they will have no part of that besides it would bailout the enemy. This is why last December Powell came out and warned that this debt is “UNSUSTAINABLE.” They might monetize some portion that is domestic to prevent a panic, but they have no intention of monetizing the nation’s debt as a whole.

Federal_Debt_Held_by_Foreign_and_International_Investors_6 9 24
Federal_Debt_Held_by_Federal_Reserve_Banks 6 9 24

Much of the debt is held inter-agency. They can play games with that bunch. They will not simply default on ALL the debt without war. Then you have a NEW government form that will not honor the debt of the previous.

Hillary Cartoon

As far as Hillary vs Obama, this is NOT my opinion. The computer cannot forecast Hillary vs Obama without putting in their personal life ECMs. All I can say is that the Neocons are behind Hillary, for they KNOW she will nuke Russia. Some are talking about Hillary with Obama as VP, so they think they will get the Black Vote.
