Poster Boy for COVID Vax Dies Suddenly


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Yonatan Moshe Erlichman was an 8-year-old boy used by the Israeli government to promote COVID vaccinations for children. Safe and effective. He was only 5 when his parents subjected him to the experimental mRNA treatment in 2020. The previously healthy child suddenly died due to one of the main side effects of the vaccine.

“The boy reportedly slipped under the water after his heart suddenly stopped, causing him to drown,” Slay News reported. He was rushed to the hospital and remained on life support for a few days until he passed. His grandfather was a prominent doctor in Israel and his parents enrolled him to be the poster child for Shushki in the Land of Binyamin, a program used to “educate” children about COVID vaccines.

Countless children have died from these vaccinations, and no one has been held responsible. Sadly, he is not the only poster boy who lost his life. Argentina’s poster boy for the vaccination, Santino Godoy Blanco, was only 4 when he took his last breath. He was featured on posters that said, “vaccines protect us,” and perhaps his parents truly believed they would.

The “science” admits that these are side effects of the vaccines. However, in both cases, they say it remains a mystery why otherwise healthy children have died in sudden tragic deaths. Big Pharma is already off the hook and cannot be held liable for these deaths. They could prevent children from continuing to receive this poison, be it governments, health agencies, or pharmaceutical companies, but they refuse because profits and promoting the Great Reset matter more than young lives.

German Authorities KIDNAP Reiner Fuellmich in Mexico – Interview with Fuellmich and the COVID Investigation Committee


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Reiner Fuellmich, an attorney and international freedom advocate, has been detained by German authorities. Fuellmich is the leader of the International Crimes Investigative Committee and works with the Corona Investigation Committee, which is working to unveil the criminality surrounding the release of Covid and the criminal response that engulfed basically every country in the world. I was asked to speak on this committee in April 2022, and I can tell you that Fuellmich is no criminal. His only crime is being a staunch advocate of the people and investigating the government’s crimes against humanity.

The charges against Fuellmich remain unclear at this point, but he was reportedly lured into the German embassy in Mexico, where he was kidnapped. What are his charges? It was not an arrest as he has not committed a crime. He was led to believe that he was exchanging his passport at the embassy when he was taken away. This is clearly a case of the government silencing dissenters who defy them by speaking the truth. The people brave enough to speak on these topics know the risks involved.

Protests against the German government are being planned by those who support Fuellmich and his crucial work against the medical tyranny imposed during COVID. The arrest of Fuellmich will exacerbate the criminalization of politics, and the timing of his arrest is suspicious, as it comes amid the start of the next major global conflict.

Emanuel Pastreich of  Global Research posted the following message, explaining why we must not allow what remains of the rule of law to be abolished.“We know that if we do not stop this effort to destroy the rule of law, at every level, to create a separate realm that belongs only to the very wealthy and powerful, that we are guaranteed a global fascistic system which will, if it can, exterminate us in precisely the way that was attempted in Europe in the 1940s. I want to also stress that this effort to suppress someone working so hard to enforce the rule of law and to bring the truth to everybody, at precisely the moment that a drive is on to start a world war between Israel and Iran, including the United States, and conceivably many other countries, is no coincidence, but in fact they are parallel. One is an effort to force-feed us war as the basis for law, governance, and the economy; and the other is an attempt to destroy all the foundations for the rule of law and for rights for citizens. Finally, I want to say that although I fully understand those of you who have felt skeptical, doubtful, of my campaign, and who feel that perhaps someone like Robert Kennedy Junior, or perhaps Professor Cornel West, would be more appropriate, maybe more famous, or maybe (freer) to show up (in) the media, to be on CNN or Democracy Now, that there is good reason to at this moment to support me because I am literally the only one who is capable of addressing the true crimes and the true threats that we face today. If we cannot name the crimes, if we cannot identify the enemy, there is no way that either beautiful words, or rapid action, can have any possible positive outcome. And we know all too well that these invisible powers have already set up for us a baited gambit, giving us false choices, whether it be between Trump and Biden, or Hamas and Israel –the Israeli military, choices which are intended to confuse us and to divide us against each other so that we cannot come together in opposition to this domination of the entire world by the billionaire class.”

Solar forcing may have a 4 to 7 times greater effect on climate change than current climate models indicate


New Studies: Selection Bias In Datasets Advances A False Narrative The Sun Has No Climate Impact
New Studies: Selection Bias In Datasets Advances A False Narrative The Sun Has No Climate Impact

Solar forcing may have a 4 to 7 times greater effect on climate change than current climate models indicate, which may mean modern climate change is predominantly natural rather than anthropogenic.
Anthropogenic global warming (AGW) attribution may be significantly dependent on the choice of dataset.
Advocates of AGW may only use Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) reconstructions that align with the perspective that the Sun has little to no impact on climate. Consequently, climate models may only use the PMOD’s model-based satellite data (which shows a declining trend since 1980) rather than the ACRIM (which shows an increasing TSI trend from the 1980s to 2000s).
The biased selection of long-term TSI reconstructions that show little to no variability are also preferred over TSI reconstructions with large variability. For example, the uncertainty in the estimate of the increase in TSI since the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715) ranges anywhere from 0.75 W/m² to 6.3 W/m² (Yeo et al., 2020). AGW advocates will, of course, select the lowest TSI change value (0.75 W/m²) and reject the higher values (6.3 W/m²), as then it is much easier to attribute modern warming to anthropogenic activity rather than to solar forcing.
The IPCC has selected one TSI dataset in the latest (2021) report for its global warming attribution assessments and climate models (GCMs). The dataset of course aligns only with the view modern warming is human-caused, and not natural, and thus it depicts a declining TSI trend since 1980 (PMOD) and almost no variability since the Maunder Minimum.
A new study (Connolly et al., 2023 with press release) identifies 27 other TSI estimates (purposely) ignored by the IPCC, several of which suggest modern warming may be up to 71-87% natural – especially if the temperature stations that do not show a strong artificial urban warming bias are used.
“Several of these different solar activity estimates suggest that most of the warming observed outside urban areas (in rural areas, oceans, and glaciers) could be explained in terms of the Sun.”

Another new study (Scafetta, 2023) suggests the Sun’s real climate impact may be 4-7 times larger than just from TSI (radiative) forcing alone, as the solar activity variations may mechanistically affect cloud albedo, which has been observed to drive 1-3 W/m² per decade changes in shortwave forcing (McLean, 2014).
“Thus, at least about 80% of the solar influence on the climate could be generated by processes other than direct TSI forcing.”
Climate models do not allow for any solar influence beyond the small, flat radiative forcing changes associated with TSI forcing, as this way it can be claimed that natural factors have little to no bearing on climate change.
Alternative solar activity records, as shown in TSI #2 Model below, have the Sun’s total impact directly linked to global temperature changes, including for recent decades.

A Strong Possibility Twitter Will IPO and Go Public Again, Here’s Why


Posted originally on the CTH on October 3, 2023 | Sundance 

I wasn’t going to write about this, but so many requests and contacts have come in, and considering that my background conversations with people are leading to actionable positioning, that I feel it is only fair to share publicly what I am analyzing privately.

The predicate for all assumptions is several fold: {Go Deep One} and {Go Deep Two}. Most of the financial groundwork for analysis already exists. In summary, Elon paid $44 billion for the platform. Current valuations are around $15 billion.  Current debt service is $1.5 billion/yr (roughly $100m/mo).  Current expenses include $100m/yr AWS, $100m/yr Goog cloud (both contracts), +payroll and misc.

Approximately 9 months ago, Musk had $1 billion in cash reserve for Twitter.  The burn rate deficit was roughly $100m/month. That put timeline estimates for an inflection point on/around October 2023.  It is now October 2023.

Approximately a week ago, Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino made a bold statement.  Yaccarino stated that from her review of the current status, Twitter would start to turn a profit in the first quarter of 2024 {link}.  However, with $100 million per month in debt service alone, this statement seemed too far of a stretch.  At pre-musk levels of revenue, maybe; but that $1.5 billion debt service is a heavy nut to carry.

Timing – Remember, it’s October.  Last Friday, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave special regulatory approval to Bill Ackman’s firm, Pershing Square (hedge fund), for a new investment vessel called SPARC, whose purpose is to invest in private companies in order to take them public.  As noted by CNBC, “In a SPARC, investors will know what company the financing vehicle would be used to merge with before they have to pledge their investments.”  The financial mechanism avoids some of the issues with typical IPO’s.

•It’s October, inflection time.  •Yaccarino says a strategy is underway for profitability in Q1 2024.  •Ackman gets SPARC approval, and then suddenly:

[…] “The answer is I have a lot of respect for Musk. I think Twitter is a really important platform,” Ackman told CNBC. “I think he’s made tremendous improvements to the platform, and I think it’s a unique, very difficult-to-disrupt, kind of asset and one that could grow.” 

[…] Though Musk hasn’t expressed any interest in working with Ackman to take X public, and despite the $13 billion in debt tacked to the company, Ackman has worked out a loose plan to make it happen, if Musk were interested. 

“What’s interesting here is we could commit $2 billion to a transaction, set the rights price to $121 million, set it at $100 a share and announce a transaction,” he said. 

“And then we tell the story and then the rights holders have a chance to decide whether to invest. As long as the rights have positive value, they’re all going to get exercised, and the IPO raises $13 billion.” (read more)

The heavy nut disappears.

Investors roll the debt into discounted shares of stock.  If Ackman can generate a $17-$20 billion outcome for Twitter, Musk nets $5b and retains 20-25% of shares.  Yaccarino gets well compensated.  It’s a win/win/win.

Critics would say the IPO would mean Musk compromising on the free speech commitment.  However, in reality Musk has already reinstalled many of the control mechanisms of the previous “safety council,” along with the “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach” outlook.  Musk and Yaccarino have also partnered with the Global Disinformation Index.

The compromises are already baked into the platform, and seemingly have been since Yaccarino became CEO.  The 2024 election is next year, and influence is a lucrative business.

Anthony Fauci Had a Secret, “No Record of Entry”, Visit to CIA to Influence Their COVID-19 Origin Decision


Posted originally on the CTH on September 27, 2023 | Sundance 

Given the nature of how the intelligence apparatus manipulates their work product in order to manipulate public opinion, the CIA willingly changing their determination of COVID-19 origin doesn’t come as a surprise.  What is more surprising is that Congress found out about it. [SEE PDF HERE]

The Congressional Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic reported last night that former head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease, Anthony Fauci, conducted a stealth visit to the CIA headquarters in order to influence their findings on the origins of COVID-19.  Fauci did not want the U.S. govt relationship with the Wuhan lab and gain of function research becoming a risk, with the COVID-19 virus originating from that lab and relationship.

Dr. Fauci’s suspicious moments, “without a record of entry,” are especially concerning in light of recent whistleblower testimony alleging the CIA rewarded six analysts with significant financial incentives to change their COVID-19 origins conclusion from a lab-leak to zoonosis.  It appears the secret visit by Fauci was the triggering mechanism to change the CIA findings. 

Subcommittee Chairman, Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), has requested “documents sufficient to show any Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General authorized, supported, or otherwise affiliated movements of Dr. Anthony Fauci from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022 into any CIA owned, operated, or occupied building, including but not limited to the George Bush Center of Intelligence.”

The Chairman has also requested Special Agent Brett Rowland, the guy who worked with Anthony Fauci through the Department of Health and Human Services, is made available for a voluntary transcribed interview.

The American Climate Corps


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 27, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Joe Biden has created a workforce initiative called the American Climate Corps who will be responsible for carrying out the climate change agenda. The program promises “good-paying” jobs “aligned with high-quality employment opportunities after they complete their paid training or service program.” Over 20,000 youth will have an opportunity to apply within the first year. Some are comparing this to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps, but it is nothing of the sort.

FDR created the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933 amid the Great Depression. The program provided 3 million jobs to young men between 18 and 25 and permitted them to work in America’s public forests, lands, and parks. The men were guaranteed three meals per day with lodging accommodations. They earned only $30 per month, but sent $25 home to their families. Nature, not climate, was preserved and these men were bordering on indentured servitude for the US government but everyone won due to the nature of the times.

The American Climate Corps is intended to push the Green New Deal and push the youth into newer and largely unnecessary industries. “The American Climate Corps will focus on equity and environmental justice – prioritizing communities traditionally left behind, including energy communities that powered our nation for generations, leveraging the talents of all members of our society, and prioritizing projects that help meet the Administration’s Justice40 goal,” the White House stated on its website. “Equity” is a keyword for the Biden Administration who also wants to prioritize jobs for “traditionally left behind” persons. All of these individuals will receive a government paycheck and pensions at a massive cost to taxpayers. Some estimates believe the program will require $132.5 billion in spending, but that’s just the beginning as they will continue to grow this unnecessary government-funded workforce.

Most of the men in FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps served in World War II after their service. They were not asking for handouts or burdening the taxpayer. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) were major supporters of this measure as they have been waiting for the Green New Deal to take place. Biden is attempting to lure the youth ahead of the election by promising “good-paying” entry-level jobs that align with the Build Back Better agenda.

Greta Poses for the Cameras Amid Arrest


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Sep 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Greta Thunberg is willing to defy the authorities to fight climate change, or at least that is what they want you to believe. They paint this young girl as a radical activist when she is planted counter-opposition. Greta was arrested for the second time last week for refusing to leave a sit-in at a protest terminal. The picture above shows the true nature of her arrest.

Greta was not violently carted off by the authorities and thrown into a cell. The police held her up for the cameras for the best propaganda pictures. Reuters is reporting that the young globalist could face up to six months behind bars – yeah, right! “It is absurd that those who act in line with science should pay the price for it,” Thunderg stated after her first arrest. She pleaded “not guilty” in June, citing that she was blocking the oil trucks from committing a climate catastrophe. “I believe that we are in an emergency that threatens life, health, and property. Countless people and communities are at risk both in the short term and in the long term,” Thunberg said in court.

Her next trial is on September 27, and no doubt she will be telling the court that she was saving the world. Simply look at the footage Reuters published. It shows a small girl being dragged by the police, but in truth, the police knew that her arrest was a marketing tool for the climate change agenda. Even a simple Google search on the event is littered with headlines such as “Greta Thunberg forcibly removed from climate protest after fine” or “Greta Thunberg charged with disobeying police order at climate protest.”

Greta Thunberg is not an activist. She was a child who fell in with the wrong crowd at Greenpeace who handed her over to the World Economic Forum to be used for marketing purposes only. Greta Thunberg managed to accumulate a net worth of $18 million at 20 years old through brand deals, speaking engagements, and sponsorships. These public spectacles are merely part of her job as a propaganda puppet.

The Birth of the US Dollar


Armstrong Economics Blog/USD $ Re-Posted Sep 17, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Thomas Jefferson Act of Congress Signed as Secretary of State, January 14th, 1793,

Second Congress of the United States (1743-1826)

As Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson amended a previous Act, “establishing a Mint and regulating the Coins of the United States,” establishing the copper weight specifications for the first US coins issued in 1793 – the Cent and Half Cent. This is a document from our collection on the Monetary System of the World, establishes the birth of the US dollar authorizing the first issue of the coinage of the United States. It is unique and of tremendous historical importance.

The first copper coins created by the new United States of America were introduced into circulation in March of 1793. This document is signed “Th’ Jefferson” as Secretary of State and countersigned (in type) by George Washington as President, John Adams as Vice President and President of the Senate, and Jonathan Trumbull as Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“Second Congress of the United States: At the Second Session, begun and held at the City of Philadelphia, in the state of Pennsylvania, on Monday, the fifth of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two. An act establishing a Mint, and regulating the coins of the United States, so far as respects the Coinage of Copper.”

“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That every cent shall contain two hundred and eight grains of copper, and every half cent shall contain one hundred and four grains of copper; and that so much of the act ‘An act establishing a mint, and regulating the coins of the United States,’ as respects the weight of cents and half cents, shall be, and the same is hereby repealed…. Approved January fourteenth 1793…”
