What Was the Capitol Siege?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Jan 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: These people posing for this photo certainly do not represent conservatives. One even has a mask. The Davy Crocket guy has the bull horn to lead the charge. Something is not right.

PC

REPLY: This breach into the Capitol Building was a false flag. There was no doubt about Trump supporters there. The guy in the Davy Crocket outfit was a QAnon supporter Jacob Anthony Chansley, who is said to be extreme right-wing. Adam Johnson was arrested for carrying-off Pelosi’s podium, but he did not take it from the building. These people being caught seem to have viewed this as a college prank posting their pictures on social media.

Nevertheless, there are reports that Antifa was there posing as Trump supporters who were the first to breach but had vacated quickly while hiding their faces. Still,  John Earle Sullivan is a Black Lives Matter terrorist who has advocated for an armed revolution on social media was one inside the Capitol Building and he claims he took part in the illegal breach of the building as part of an effort to understand supporters of President Donald Trump.

Others are saying that since Black Lives Matter was there, then Pelosi and Schumer should also be impeached since they incited riots all over the United States. There is a great disparity between how the Black Lives Matter rioters were treated when looting and burning down buildings verse the Trump supporters. This whole thing is merely inspiring divisions even more. What Trump did was by no means an impeachable offense. His statements do not qualify for calling for an insurrection. Besides that, they are protected speech just like those in Congress. How many Democrats made excuses for the burning of cities and all the protests? Even a legal professor who is not a supporter of Trump concurs – this is not an impeachable offense.

People from Germany are immediately calling it a false flag which they should know. False Flags are deliberate actions used to blame an opponent to gain power. Historically, Hitler used a very famous event that was the origin of the term “False flag” back in 1933 to reinforce his power. The German False flag used by Hitler was known as the Reichstag Fire. Hitler had a problem. He won less than 35% of the vote. The Reichstag Fire was an arson attack on the German parliament in Berlin on February 27th, 1933, one month after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany. Hitler’s government claimed it was set by Communists because the 1918 German Revolution which installed the Weimar Republic and resulted in the hyperinflation was a Communist movement which even asked the Russian to take Germany.

One man was prosecuted named Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch council Communist, who was simply found near the building. A German court later decided that van der Lubbe had acted alone as was the case with Oswald in the Kennedy Assassination. After the Reichstag Fire, a Decree was passed that the Nazi Party used as evidence that Communists were plotting against the German government. This event was critical in the establishment of Nazi Germany. The very term Reichstag Fire in Germany has been ever since used to refer to False flag actions perpetrated by the government to promote their own interests to gain more power and infuriate the public for retribution that has ALWAYS resulted in the loss of civil rights necessary to catch the conspirators.

President Trump campaigned in 2016 on ending “ridiculous endless wars.” When I was invited to listen to Trump privately at his Palm Beach, Florida, property Mar-a-Lago, he said the same thing. We were in the middle east fighting over borders that have been disputed for 1,000 years. ONLY John F. Kennedy was against the war. I believe the CIA et al took him out so they could enter Vietnam. Even Johnson remarked in 1965: “For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there.” They fired 249 5-inch shells, 123 3-inch shells, and four or five depth charges, according to Navy records. They never hit anything. Over 50,000 Americans die for a war we could not win and was never necessary.

They have lied to start every war from weapons of mass destruction to the fact that Germans sank the Lusitania because the US was secretly using passenger ships to move weapons to Britain. I have stated on personal knowledge that the terrorists from the first World Trade Center attack drew pictures of planes crashing into the towers on the wall of their cells in New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center in advance of 9/11. They knew what they were doing and let it happen.

Then there is Operation Northwoodswhich was a proposal of the Department of Defense. The Joint Chiefs of Staff would involve CIA operatives to commit acts of terrorism against American civilians. They would then blame the Cuban government to justify a war against Cuba. The proposals were rejected by the Kennedy administration and have long been part of the reason people support the theory that the CIA is responsible for the killing of Kennedy.

The State Department blew everyone away after admitting that they officially and intentionally deleted several minutes of video footage from a 2013 press briefing to mislead the press over the Iranian nuclear deal.  Those in power are all about just them. They are constantly showing that they cannot be trusted on anything. Yet, we are risking the lives of our children with wars that are manufactured for political gain all so they can in their mind rule the world.

obama-nobel-Peace Prize

Obama, who has made a mockery out of the Nobel Peace Prize, attempted the standard lie to invade Syria, but the American people rejected it because they became tired of the lies. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack even in fake allegations. The failure of Obama to “sell” the Syrian war to the American people noted the shift in confidence from Public (trust everything) to Private (trust nothing).

Wherever there is military action involved, there are lies to further another agenda. The benefit of a Private Wave is that people begin to distrust the government. However, the war cycle turns up and that warns of a rise in civil unrest that can even go as far as a new age of revolution if the government does not stop trying to manipulate the people for nonsense.

The latest information coming from Italy interfering in the 2020 election also involved a military defense contractor. Like Kennedy, Trump was against endless wars so they had to put an end to Trump. I lost just about every friend from high school to Vietnam. What did they die for? Communism collapses all on its own because it is unsustainable.

History is written by the victory. They will rewrite the history of America and paint Trump as some sort of anarchist just as Cicero wrote the fake news calling Gaius Julius Caesar was a horrible dictator when he crossed the Rubicon and the Senate fled because they had no support of the people who then cheered Senate’s flight from Rome because they were corrupt oligarchs.

History repeats because human nature never changes no matter how much we progress technologically. So many people think history is irrelevant and you will often hear that this time it’s different. I have found no exceptions whatsoever and I have really searched very hard by studying the rise and fall of empires, nations, and city-states.

Flavius Claudius Julianus, known to history as Julian II, was born in Constantinople around 332 AD, the son of Julius Constantius who was the half-brother of Constantine the Great. His father was born to his grandfather’s second wife, Theodora. When Constantine the Great died in 337 AD, his son, Constantine II launched a midnight Palace Massacre whereby all persons who might be his rival for the throne and were not the direct descendant of Constantine I’s first wife were slaughtered. Fortunately for Julian, he managed to escape the Palace Massacre only due to his extremely young age. Julian was restored to the imperial favor as he grew and was given the rank of Caesar (Vice President) on November 6th, 355 AD, about the same time he married Constantius’ youngest sister, Helena.

Yet the Palace Massacre left a deep mark upon his character whereby he saw Christianity as just another cult and the preachings of thou shalt not kill  meant really nothing when power was at stake or swearing oaths in the Supreme Court today or to sit in Congress. As a result, Julian II was dubbed by theologians as Julian the Apostate rather than acknowledge Christianity did not restrain the murder of his family.

Julian’s coinage changed when he became Emperor. He grew a beard which was taken as a sign of being a pagan whereas Christians were clean-shaven. His coins would often display pagan motifs as well. Julian began his reign by throwing off his Christian cloak and declaring that all religions would be tolerated. He gave especially large donations to the pagan causes. He dismissed his Christian teachers and ended state subsidies for the church. He then took an active role in organizing pagan worship throughout all the provinces.

Julian’s own philosophical beliefs led him to idealize the reigns of Hadrian (117-138 AD) and Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD). He described the ideal ruler as being essentially primus inter pares (“first among equals”), and thus not above the same laws that applied to everyone else. Julian frequently attended the Senate, participating in debates and making speeches. He was opposed to the traditional royal court operations that were used by his predecessors as inefficient, corrupt, and highly expensive.

Julian cut the bureaucratic waste by dismissing thousands of servants, eunuchs, and duplicated officials drastically reducing the cost of government for the taxpayers. He went as far as to prosecute corruption in government establishing the Chalcedon tribunal under the supervision of a magister militum Arbitio. He prosecuted former officials under Constantius including the chamberlain Eusebius who ran the royal court finding them guilty and sentenced to death. Yet Julian did not attend these proceedings that some argued meant he did not approve of these actions yet he took no steps to prevent them.

Julian also adopted the philosophy of Thomas Jefferson whereby he tried to reduce the federal bureaucracy expanding state and local authority at the expense of the imperial bureaucracy as Julian sought to reduce direct imperial involvement in urban affairs. For example, he went as far as to return city land owned by the imperial government, and city council members were then compelled to resume civic authority.

Julian was fatally wounded by a spear thrown by perhaps a Persian but perhaps by one of his own men during a minor skirmish. He made the mistake of surrounding himself with too few men because he did not trust the bureaucrats.

Delta Airlines Throw People Off the Plane Because they Voted for Trump


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Looks like they are getting everyone to simply discriminate against anybody who voted for Trump. Perhaps Delta should change its logo to Marxist Airlines. If they think they will avoid being shut down by kicking off anyone who voted for Trump, perhaps they should know that behind the curtain they are looking to put massive taxes on tickets to comply with Bill Gates’s latest post that we need to fly less.

Meanwhile, throwing average Americans off the plane because they just voted for Trump while Bill Gates is trying to dim the sun and will pay bribes to pull it off, I think he is a far greater danger to the entire planet. I suppose if you have a lot of money and are completely crazy, they still cheer and kiss your feet hoping to pick up a few spare millions.

Perhaps they should focus on their own business and stop trying to kiss-up to the new leftist government for they have no intention of helping the airlines. They have their marching order from the new lord and master – Bill Gates through Klaus Schwab and their Davos puppet – John Kerry!

Global Financial Markets – The Crack we have been Waiting For!


Armstrong Economics Blog/The Hunt for Taxes Re-Posted Jan 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The political implications are rather serious with the Democrats in control of everything. Aside from the New Green Deal which they will come to realize will destroy so many jobs as they follow the directions of Bill Gates which will come back to bite them in 2022, they constantly want to punish people for making money. Raising the taxes to 40% on the top bracket is one thing. The real damage will be eliminating capital gains and any income becomes normal. So that family house you bought in the ’50s for $15,000 and sell for $300k, well that will put you in the top tax bracket and there goes 40%.

The elimi9nation of Capital Gains will also have a far greater impact upon investment going forward. It is an investment that is the lifeblood of economic growth. By eliminating capital gains, then the risks of capital investment are not offset by the better tax rate. This will have a negative impact on capital investment and will steer capital into less risky options.

We will be running our models on the impact of the elimination of capital gains, but it appears that this is the turning point where CONFIDENCE breaks in government and the system at large. If capital beginning to move into flight-mode, then we can expect some wild outcomes ahead in the global financial markets.

Military v Police


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Jan 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Why do you think he will not call in the military?

DF

ANSWER: Trump would not want to leave history in this context. However, if there can be concrete proof of Pelosi’s treason emerge from her laptop, then it would be a different story. However, if you look at history as a guide, there are certainly the rank and file who are very upset about this election and the fraud which seems to be obvious to people around the world. If it was not fraud, you would not have BigTech doing a Stalinistic Great Purge. They are on board and promised the banking industry. Microsoft is already launching digital currency operations.

History implies that we will probably see a split in the military if we end up in civil war. That is more or less how Rome came apart. Certainly, the reluctance would be if Trump does not have the evidence, and two if the military leadership is bought and paid for.

Our computer suggests that Biden probably only drew really about 32% of the popular vote that voted for him outright – the balance was voting for Biden because they hated Trump. Trump won more votes than any incumbent president and the left may own the media, but our computer shows Panic Cycles in politics for 2022 and 2024. This has never taken place in my lifetime.

There will be rising discontent and that may very well come from the military as well. I would say if the police try to enforce the Draconian measures of the Biden Administration, that may lead to the military v the police.

Conspiracy Theories v Pelosi Laptop


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

You have people claiming Trump will call in the military at the last minute. That is just not plausible. The other story is that covert-ops have Pelosi’s Laptop and that reveals far more than anyone would dare to speculate. They insist that Pelosi is trying to impeach Trump because of that. She has also called the military to try to take the nuclear codes away from him.

I am not so sure trying to impeach Trump is anything more than grandstanding.  There is not enough time left to impeach, hold a trial, and remove him from office before the 20th. She is trying desperately to demoralize not just Trump, but 50% of the country who voted for him. She is really a very nasty person. What she has done to the country for the last 4 years has been nothing but obstruction and to create division and hatred. Our sources in Washington say that now even Democrats are very angry with Pelosi and she may not have the mindless support to impeach Trump she expected. A lot of Democrats are worried about what Pelosi has done that is on that laptop.

Pence, while not someone who I expected to reject the disputed votes, also would not invoke the 25th Amendment.

Meanwhile, Twitter and Facebook are carrying out the Great Purge like Stalin. They are shutting down access to people who are conservative. If there is anything on Pelosi’s Laptop, we will soon find out.

I understand a lot of people are very disappointed. When the left tries to impose their demands, they will find that the economy is still imploding making it harder to raise the taxes. Then their proposal to eliminate capital gains because they hate the rich so much, well when you sell your home that is capital gains. If you sell a house you bought for $15,000 in the 1960s and you sell it for $300,000, well that will not be taxed at 40% if they eliminate capital gains.

Purge Continues – Amazon Kicks-Off Parler From Server Access, Parler Confirms Site Fragility Likely Means Temporary Loss


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on January 10, 2021 by Sundance

According to numerous media reports Amazon is no longer going to allow Parler to run from its Web Hosting Servers, which means deplatforming the Parler Website effective midnight Sunday.   The CEO of Parler responds:

It is a little surprising that Parler was using Amazon servers to host it’s platform considering the obvious ideological risks involved.  However, given the Mercer financial backing behind Parler, and considering there is a background data-collection system, perhaps that surprise factor is slightly diminished.  Dance within an ideological system and there is always a risk the music will stop.

The efforts of Big Tech continue unabated by any regulatory agency….

The Back Stabbers


Re-Posted from GrrrGraphics.com JAN 8, 2021 AT 4:16 PM

“They’re smiling in your face

All the time they’re tryin’ to take your place

The back stabbers…back stabbers”

Yesterday I watched a parade of Republican traitors stab our president in the back. All of them claimed outrage, therefore they had to support Biden. For the good of the country, of course. Our Republic ended not with a bang, but rather whimpering displays of virtue signaling.

Led by planted Antifa agitators, some pro-Trump protestors stormed the Capitol Dome, which was arranged in advance to be easily breached. Chaos ensued. After the murder of one Trump patriot, the mainstream media blamed it all on Trump. Even though the president was clearly not to blame. He did not call for violence or entry into the capitol. We MAGA patriots got the blame. I drew a cartoon about the protest and Facebook told me I was inciting violence. My page was banned. Twitter banned the cartoon.

Everywhere the long knives are out for Trump. We could have expected such behavior from the globalist neocons such as Romney, Junior Bush, and the never-Trumpers, but many Republicans whom I thought were patriots quickly caved and switched their allegiance to Biden. It’s all disheartening to say the least. Even Steve Daines, the Montana junior senator whom I voted for, turned on Trump. FoxNews was particularly shameless in their backstabbing.

Those of us who want to protect our freedoms and our Republic will now come under sustained attack. The Democrats want revenge. They were successful in their socialist coup by means of a stolen election, aided by foreign powers. We will never have free elections again. They have now become scripted. It’s theater. They will pretend we have a choice. We don’t. We have totalitarianism and the back stabbers are all too eager to ensure they have a role to play in our subjugation.

What a disgrace.

—Ben Garrison

No Peace in Pelosi’s 11th-Hour Trump Impeachment


America, you’ve been robbed blind by the Democrats; denied your day in court; denied your 1st Amendment rights and had the president you voted for denied the dignity of being able to leave the White Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and ArchivesJanuary 8, 2021

Although it was the last thing they expected, Trump supporters at Wednesday’s Stop the Steal Rally, had the tables turned on them by the Democrats’  11th-hour attempt for the Impeachment of their duly elected president.

Trump supporters who came out by the hundreds of thousands thought their rally was about Saving America from the results of a rigged 2020 election, were unaware that their gathering would be eclipsed by Antifa storming the U.S. Capitol—that the Democrats and media would turn around and blame on the president and them.

Within 24 short hours the rallying cry would morph from “Save America” to “Impeach Donald Trump” on his way out of the White House Door.

The first Impeachment attempt died a humiliating death on the Senate floor days before the Coronavirus outbreak in 2020. A coronavirus whose deaths—thanks to vice president Michael Pence would ultimately be blamed on President Trump.

(More on that down copy).

But the Impeachment corpse was dragged back from its grave one day after Wednesday’s Stop the Steal March in Washington, DC.

Some political tools never really die.

Pence, who turned his back on the president the same day as the rally was taking place left an opening for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi:

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called on Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of President Trump if he is unable to discharge his duties. (Yahoo News, Jan. 7, 2020)

“If they fail to do so, she said the Congress “may be prepared to move forward with impeachment” against Trump for instigating rioters to attack the Capitol building on Wednesday.

“In calling for this seditious act, the president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people,” Pelosi said. She called Trump “a very dangerous person who should not continue in office.”

“In the early hours of Thursday morning, the joint session of Congress completed the job of certifying Biden and Harris as the winners of the 2020 election. The two houses twice convened in separate sessions to consider objections to the electoral count in Arizona and Pennsylvania. After debate, both objections were defeated by overwhelming margins in the Senate and narrower margins in the House.

Why are the Democrats seeking to Impeach the President 12 days out from the Jan. 20 Biden-Harris inauguration?

Because vengeance is theirs and not the Lord’s, according to them.

“Meanwhile, the FBI and local police are reviewing video in an effort to identify and prosecute “Trump supporters” who trespassed in the Capitol building. (Yahoo)

Why aren’t they looking at identifying members of Antifa who were able to use scaffolding on the west side of the Capitol building—already in place for the Biden inauguration as their chief means to gain access for the melee?

Isn’t it because the Democrats and a compliant media had written “Trump supporters” large into the narrative and not on-the-loose anarchistic Antifa?

In this late in the game sabotage of a nation, has anyone else noticed how everything has come full circle two days after the insurrection supposedly called for by Trump and his supporters?

ANYONE?

Served up on a platter to Fox News star Tucker Carlson one day after Wednesday’s ‘Insurrection at the Capitol’, President Donald Trump’s bloodied head.

Tucker Claims that Trump “recklessly encouraged” rioters. (The Hill, Jan. 7, 2021)

Carlson wasn’t the only one.  Last night the president was served up ‘Mrs. Nice’ advice by Laura Ingraham, suggesting that Trump ought to congratulate Joe Biden, and invite him over to the White House for a friendly visit.

Hard to drum up friendly feelings for Biden when the entire social media network blocks you from telling folk about how Election 2020 was stolen.

No mention from Ingraham, or any other Fox News talking head that this invite would be coming after Trump won the election in a landslide, had it successfully stolen from him—with the Supreme Court refusing to hear evidence, the Justice Department refusing to seriously investigate and the Democrats, along with Carlson blaming Trump for “INCITING” the assault in Congress and on and on.

As the horrors of the Wednesday mob were being repeatedly reported on by a complacent-with Democrats media, we were given to believe that Vice President Pence had suddenly turned on the president.

Uh huh.

“Vice President Mike Pence is reportedly enraged at President Donald Trump over the way he has acted this week in response to the 2020 election results, a Republican senator said. (The Blaze, Jan. 7, 2020)

“Oklahoma GOP Sen. Jim Inhofe reportedly had a “long conversation” with Pence Tuesday night, during which the normally cool-headed vice president conveyed acute frustration to him.

“I’ve known Mike Pence forever,” Inhofe told local news outlet Tulsa World Tuesday. “I’ve never seen Pence as angry as he was today.

Neither have we, Sen. Inhofe.  All we’ve seen is a bland, milquetoast Pence for the past four years, which turned out to be an excellent cover for his possible sabotage of the president with Dr. Tony Fauci.

“I had a long conversation with him,” Inhofe added. “He said, ‘After all the things I’ve done for [Trump].’” (Blaze)

Does this include doing Trump in, Sen. Inhofe?

“Over the last week, Trump pressured Pence to use his vice presidential power while presiding over a joint session of Congress Wednesday to block congressional certification of election results in battleground states. The president then publicly attacked Pence for not carrying out the action Wednesday. (Blaze)

As it turns out, Pence was sabotaging his boss as far back as last July.

‘Vice President Pence defends Fauci as White House sends mixed messages on health expert’

“WASHINGTON – Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday defended Dr. Anthony Fauci in public comments made soon after he tweeted out a photo of the two of them at the White House. (USA Today, July 15, 2020)

“Dr. Fauci is a valued member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force,” Pence said on a campaign call with reporters when asked about recent attacks on Fauci by others in the administration. “We just completed our latest meeting today and we couldn’t be more grateful for his steady counsel.”

“Stephen Moore, a conservative economist and a member of the president’s task force to reopen the economy, told USA TODAY he and his team at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity are compiling a policy memo to highlight Fauci’s record as a longtime government health official, claiming he’s been wrong on predicting the course of pandemics.

“He’s become a big problem for Trump because he keeps contradicting what the White House is saying,” Moore said.

America, you’ve been robbed blind by the Democrats; denied your day in court; denied your 1st Amendment rights and had the president you voted for denied the dignity of being able to leave the White House on his own.

Meanwhile, as the hyenas are yapping, with no media complaining about their country about to be swallowed whole by Communism, the Dems are promising a never-coming peace.

As we approach the “peaceful transition” for the Jan. 20 Biden-Harris inauguration, the Democrats and media have managed to cut off all complaints about how some 75 million Trump voters lost the power of their votes on Election Night.

That’s peace, typical Democrat style.

Democrats Draft Impeachment
