Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Aug 31, 2023 by Martin Armstrong
The Biden Administration has been a major constitutional threat to the very existence of the United States. The Department of Justice (DOJ) informed the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday night that it would not cooperate with subpoenas for two FBI agents involved in the department’s investigation of Hunter Biden because of the committee’s stipulations for their depositions. Never in my entire life have I ever witnessed the total collapse of the rule of law. The DOJ will indict Trump, but not any Democrat. This is the final straw. The entire purpose of the rule of law is the alternative to force. When the Supreme Court ruled that blacks had no rights, the only solution was the Civil War. We are rapidly approaching this critical turning point.
The uproar and violence over the 2016 election never saw anyone ever charged. So why now?

This one is worse, significantly worse. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell freezes again while taking questions from reporters on Wednesday at an event in Kentucky. This very disturbing cognitive disconnect is raising additional concerns about the 81-year-old’s health.
The episode happens after a reporter asked him about running for re-election in 2026. WATCH:
WASHINGTON – […] Senators quickly sought more information about McConnell’s health after the incident, according to one person familiar with the dynamics. Shortly after the Wednesday incident, McConnell held calls with his closest allies including Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), Conference Chair John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), according to people familiar with the calls. All of them are potential successors to McConnell.
COMMENT: Marty, I just wanted to thank you for opening my eyes. The logic that the market commentators make no sense. Bloomberg wrote, “Bets on a rate hike in 2023 fell after worse-than-expected economic numbers bolstered hopes the Fed can pause in September.” So you are right. They are cheering worse economic numbers because interest rates will decline. You are correct. Rising interest rates show demand for money and an expanding economy. But rates decline with economic declines, and stocks typically drop. I feel stupid that I never saw that for myself. It seems people are losing confidence in the government with this persecution of Trump and hiding the corruption of the Bidens. Everyone you talk to is just fed up with politicians.
No wonder the mainstream press will never quote you because you make sense.
Cheers

PS Stay safe with this storm. We do need you.
REPLY: I understand what you are saying. I realized that the analysis changed after 1929 because we became socialists when I wrote The Great Bull Market in History in 1986. What did the Fed want us to do? How high should we jump? The economy is preparing to turn down with the ECM by May 2024. Consumer Confidence among Americans dropped the most in two years. Many of my clients overseas now see the fate of America much more clearly than domestic Americans. They view that once the Democrats have used the law to persecute Trump legally while the evidence about corruption with the Bidens goes unanswered, the confidence in government is collapsing.
I fear they will rush this whole CBDC agenda and move toward a much more Totalitarian State because they can feel their power slipping through their fingers. This abuse of the law is one of the critical issues that precede the decline and fall of a nation.
There is clear evidence that supports an impeachment trial is not a criminal prosecution of Biden and his son. Documents have surfaced that show that Joe Biden was NOT acting in line with U.S. policy as VP when he threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine until Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was fired! That was personal and not the policy of the US government. The prosecutor Shokin was investigating the precise corruption at Burisma Holdings, which paid Hunter Biden over $1,000,000. Shokin says that the Biden’s were bribed to terminate his investigation. While the Democrats want to imprison Trump, they refuse to discuss any of these documents because they knowingly used these exact lies as the pretense of impeaching President Trump.
There is now an October 2015 memo that summarizes the recommendation of the Interagency Policy Committee. That task force was created to advise the Obama White House on the notorious corruption in Ukraine and whether they were trying to clean it up. That was necessary for more aid. These documents show that U.S. policy did not call for a threat to withhold funding unless this prosecutor investigating corruption was fired.
Biden made the threat in December 2015, two months after the memo was published, and no other documents show the U.S. policy called for Shokin to be fired. On top of that, even the IMF in FEBRUARY 2016 threatened to cut off funding for Ukraine unless they showed progress in reforming corruption.
By November 2016, Biden is telling Poroshenko not to ask for any more money for Trump may start to investigate. I know Ukraine. I was asked to take them on as a client, and the first words were we can pay you offshore so you do not have to pay taxes. I said thank you very much, but I declined. You cannot imagine the level of corruption in Ukraine. It is the MOST corrupt government perhaps ever to have existed anywhere in the world, no matter what decade or century.
Prosecuting Trump and all of these prosecutors coordinating these attacks while the Justice Department does NOTHING with the Bidens is indeed collapsing the confidence in government. This is all part of the decline and fall of Republics, which is what 2032 is all about. I have a lot on my table right now. Another book I am working on is a review of the various forms of government and what worked and what failed – the good – the bad – the ugly. This will probably be read in January.
The last book is now out at Barnes & Noble on the truth behind Cleopatra – the real version, not the WOKE nonsense that she was black. I used the coinage to show the real story, where there was no steamy love affair; she was a brilliant woman who used Mark Antony to create a civil war in hopes that the once great empire of Alexander the Great would defeat Rome and her son by Julius Caesar would restore the throne of the Ptolemies. The Legionary Denarii of Mark Antony was funded by Cleopatra, and up to 100 years later, the amount of money was so great that these coins accounted for 20% of the money supply a century later. Sorry, whatever movie you watched or were taught in school was fake news.
Politicians will always vote in favor of their self-interests. The invisible hand is fully visible here. The Supreme Court reminded Biden that he could not bribe voters with taxpayers’ funds to cancel student debt. The enormously unpopular president needs all the bargaining chips he can get and continues fighting for student loan forgiveness. Democrats in recent history (see: Glass Steagall) could not care less about the students and handed them to the bankers on a silver platter with loans that could not be discharged in bankruptcy. As it turns out, numerous Democrats supporting this measure are seeking to have their own student loan debt discharged.
These politicians earn nearly $200,000 annually on salary alone and work a handful of days out of the year. They are unable to accomplish anything and leech onto the political system for as long as they can. At least 14 Democrats hold $1.7 million in combined student loans and none of them believe they should pay it back. Ninety Democrats recently penned a letter to Joe Biden asking him to cancel student debt by “early 2024,” meaning prior to the election. The far-left “Squad” members hold $200,000 in student loan debt, with AOC accumulating $50,000 in debt alone. Interestingly, she paraded around the Met Gala in a dress promoting socialism; tickets to that event were $50,000 per person.
According to the Washington Examiner, these are some of the politicians who will benefit:“That includes Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Omar, Bowman, Reps. Grace Meng (D-NY), Jimmy Gomez (D-CA), Nanette Barragán (D-CA), Brendan Boyle (D-PA), Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Nikema Williams (D-GA), Salud Carbajal (D-CA), Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), and Greg Casar (D-TX). Separately, Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-CT) disclosed up to $250,000 in loans through the Education Department and didn’t sign the document.”
The penned letter to Biden highlights the impact that student debt has on Black and Latino families since they love to divide us by race. They are urging him to keep his promise of canceling up to $20,000 in debt for as many as 43 million Americans. Student loans have been postponed under the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 due to COVID and will resume on September 1, 2023.
Everyone has had time to get their affairs in order. Those who blindly believed that Joe could make up to $1.6 trillion vanish in thin air need to go back to school. These socialistic policies force others to pay for services they did not receive. What about the people who chose not to attend school for financial reasons? Those who dropped out? Now they are expected to pay for others who actively made the decision to take on debt.
It could not be any more evident that the Biden Administration is allowing a full-scale invasion of the US from the southern border. Trump asked for around $4 billion to secure the US-Mexico border wall, a small fraction of what the US is now spending on maintaining the countless illegal aliens. New York alone estimates they will need $12 billion over the next three years. These people who entered America illegally cannot work, pay taxes, or contribute to our society in any meaningful way. Their only means of survival are government handouts. There is a reason that there was a PROCESS for legal immigration that those who desired a better future with a path to citizenship. Now you can be poor or a criminal on the run and decide to seek asylum in Biden’s America. All of the politicians who champion sending hundreds of billion to secure Ukraine’s border voted against securing the US border. Their concern was not money. It is now clear that there is no plan to solve the migrant crisis because it was a deliberate and calculated invasion promoted by the US government.
Online auction house GovPlanet, specializing in military equipment, announced that it had sold 81 lots of steel “square structural tubes” that were intended to secure the border wall. The NY Post reported that GovPlanet sold that “surplus” for $2 million. Then they sold 729 of those beams for a mere $212 per piece. They are losing money by selling these items for pennies on the dollar, but time is of the essence for Biden as Republicans are proposing new legislation to reimplement the project. Biden wants to ensure that the wall is never constructed and has decided to throw away millions in supplies to keep the border open to everyone and anyone.
All of these supplies were purchased with US taxpayers’ dollars. Trump was mocked relentlessly for requesting a few billion to prevent this absolute madness. Republicans are now proposing the Finish It Act to ensure the government uses the $300 million of remaining construction material to secure the wall. Biden halted construction on his first day in office when he was instructed to undo every barrier to the Build Back Better agenda. He appointed Kamala Harris as the border tzar and she never bothered to visit because it was of no concern. They knew the plan — open the borders and let masses of people utterly dependent on the government in AND allow them to vote so they can keep their free meal tickets coming. This is absolute treasonous behavior; our own president is encouraging a mass invasion on American soil. Yes, our very president is hell-bent on destroying the country in any way possible.
District Court Judge in Washington DC, Beryl Alaine Howell, is clearly out to get Trump and imprison him to interfere with the 2024 election. This person will most likely contribute to the separatist movement and the collapse of the United States. She was also the judge supervising the grand jury for special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Grand Jury proceedings are supposed to be secret. That did not matter to her.
On October 25, 2019, she bent over backward and ruled in favor of the House Judiciary Committee, seeking to impeach Trump by handing them the grand jury minutes. To pretend it was legal, she ruled that the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump was a judicial proceeding when Congress is not a judiciary. That violated the Separation of Power to transform Congress into the Judiciary constructively. She amended the Constitution of the United States without any such authority.
But in this newly unsealed document, not only did she deny President Trump any right to due process and to challenge the Twitter turnover order, which the DC Court of Appeals disgracefully upheld, but she also ordered Twitter to turn over the names of everyone who ever even click on a Trump post saying they liked it. This is so outrageous. She has violated everyone in the entire country of both Due Process of Law and their First Amendment Right to Free Speech. Allowing the government to now create lists of everyone in the country who clicked “like” with any of his posts that had nothing to do with the January 6th event is no longer a free country. Anyone who at any time clicked a like on any Twitter post by Trump has been prejudiced. Your civil rights have been flat outright violated. There should be a class action suit filed against her – NOW!
Howell should be impeached, as with every Court of Appeals Judge that upheld her. This is totally outrageous and NOT what anyone would expect from a non-Communist free democracy. Enough is enough. This is disgraceful, and civilization ONLY survives when the rule of law prevails. She is out to imprison Trump, and to think that this will not result in major civil unrest is just ludicrous. Our computer has been projecting massive civil unrest on the horizon.
Personally, it is now starting to come into focus how dangerously close we are flirting with the decline and fall of the United States. EVERY Republican prosecutor and judge will now see a green light to do the same to Democrats. This is all becoming insane! This is also how Rome fell – one general against another general. Postumus split the Roman Empire and issued this coin restorer of Gaul. They separated from Rome, which they, too, saw as corrupt and unable to defend all the people. I was wondering why the model pinpointed 2023 10 years in advance. I guess we now know.
Two weeks to slow the spread was simply not enough time for the elite to steal as much power and wealth as possible. OpenTheBooks recently revealed over 1,500 records showing those at the head of the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases quietly profited from COVID-19 and their recommendations to “slow the spread.” Two faces of the pandemic propaganda, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins secured 58 royalty payments out of a total of $325 million in royalties set aside for the NIH.
Sen. Rand Paul confronted Fauci for accepting bribes in June 2022. “The NIH continues to refuse to voluntarily divulge the names of scientists who receive royalties and from which companies over the period of time from 2010 to 2016, 27,000 royalty payments were paid to 1800 NIH employees,” Rand Paul said. “We know that. Not because you told us, but because we forced you to tell us through the Freedom of Information Act. Fauci refused to answer the senator or admit if he received and royalty payout for his voluntary work.
Paul dug deeper, “Here’s what I want to know. It’s not just about you, everybody on the vaccine committee, have any of them ever received money from the people who make vaccines?” Paul asked. “Can you tell me that? Can you tell me if anybody on the vaccine approval committees ever receive any money from people?” Fauci claimed that he was not legally required to admit to receiving payments. “First of all, according to the regulations, people who receive royalties are not required to divulge them, even on their financial statement, according to the Bayh-Dole act,” Fauci told Paul. Fauci took it a step further and said that the only royalties he received were for his lab. “My royalties ranged from $21 a year to $700 a year. And the average per year was $191 and 46 cents,” the doctor insisted.
We know that Fauci was lying about receiving kickbacks. Santa Cruz Biotechnology, a company that produces medical research instruments, paid Fauci 15 times. Ancell Corp. sent Fauci 14 separate payments. Chiron Corp., later bought by Novartis in 2006, paid Fauci on eight occasions. On top of all of these payments, Fauci became the highest-paid government worker in America in 2022, with an annual salary of $480,000.
Clearly, this man was unable to make unbiased decisions when Big Pharma was lining his pockets throughout the entire pandemic. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) found 34 Chinese entities were among the agencies paying off American “scientists.” Pokrov Biologics Plant, a Russian-based animal vaccine manufacturer that is said to be a front for bioweapon production, also paid off NIH scientists. Fauci claimed he would donate all of his royalties to charity but that too seems to be a lie. The people at the top profited from our pain and prioritized profits over the people.
