Merkel Despair

CHANCELOR ANGELA MERKEL has suffer a major defeat with her party coming in third place in her homes state of  Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on Sunday. The signs of a major anti-immigration movement in Germany assures Merkel’s days are clearly numbered. The growing discontent with the Chancellor is all we hear from our direct sources in Germany. Only one year after she announced her open borders policy, Merkel’s CDU party was beaten so badly coming in only in 3rd place behind Germany’s Alternative for Deutschland party (AfD) who secured 21% of the vote in her home state no less.

Merkel’s Christian Democrat Union (CDU) is going down for a resounding defeat and all the polls rigging and press rigging will not matter, Mainstream press has been supporting Merkel in Germany and they have lost respect of the German population. We are watching the demise of both career politicians and mainstream media.

The handwriting is on the wall. Merkel’s open borders has been a total disaster for all of Europe. This entire mess was only to boost her personal polls when they were collapsing because of her hard-line tactics with Greece. This is a sign of the times. The end of politics as we have known it since World War II. As we have warned, 2015.75 was the peak in government. The further we move from that point in time, the more clear that turning point will come into focus.

Using SIM Cards To Track Everyone

SIM CARD

Camera Parking

Thailand is looking to issue SIM cards to all tourists to protect national security. They say they will be able to respond to tourists in trouble, but they are really looking to track everyone because of the rising threat of Islamic extremism. Domestically, you are already being tracked. Google wants to “verify” who you are by using your phone. The police can and do track people they intend to arrest by using their cell phone. So while many people are shocked by this proposal, the difference would be to only force tourists to use their sim or they could simply take your phone number and track you by using your current sim card. Welcome to the new age of global tracking.

People are still unaware that the tracking system that reads license plates is nationwide. Many places just take your license plate and bill you for tolls. But pull in a parking garage at an airport and you will see cameras taking a picture of your license plate. Lose your ticket and they can tell you the time you arrived and where your car is parked. They are doing this in Europe as well as the USA. We are already being tracked in every way possible.

Elizabeth-Warren

This is why I say we MUST eliminate income taxes and return to indirect taxation. Income tax requires the tracking of everything we do, where you work, etc. Elizabeth Warren proposed that lower income people should not have to file income taxes because the government already knows everything and can easily just send you your refund check at the end of the year.

It is illegal to send large sums of money by mail for they will deem it money laundering. So far, small sums of cash are still legal, such as a gift in a birthday card. However, the maximum insurance for cash is $15. That does not mean the government employee at the post office even understands the laws and regulations.

When we tried to send Roman coins through the mail to our customers, they refused to allow us to mail them by marking them as money. Trying to explain that this was ancient money was like trying to explain physics to a two-year-old. We gave up and relabeled it as antiquities. The clash in regulations assumed our coins were “money” worth over $15, which was illegal in their minds. So yes, you cannot send even a few hundred dollars in “money” through the mail for they will call it money laundering. It is getting impossible to get off the grid as they say.

Erdogan’s Personal Quest for Power?

Re-Posted Sep 4, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Erdogan Recep Tayyip - 2

President Erdogan turning to Russia and shaking hands with President Putin in St. Petersburg should send a red light to NATO that all nukes must be withdrawn from Turkey ASAP. This reset of Russia-Turkey relations is strategic on Erdogan’s part. The joint statement indicated the two leaders’ willingness to cooperate in several fields and highlights both Moscow and Ankara’s domestic and international policy objectives. He has also sold off about 50% of US Treasuries more than any other government. You do not do that to support a currency. This is political.

President Erdogan plans to achieve his main goal of repairing the economy by entering a partnership with Moscow that will help to revive its touristic sector and develop energy projects. Yet, the more important issue is Erdogan also wants to use cooperation with Russia to turn against Europe and the USA by demanding money and the extradition of Fethullah Gülen who he wants dead as he sees him as a potential threat to his rule.

Putin naturally sees the renewed relationship with Turkey as an additional positive development in Russia’s international strategy and clearly weakens the idea that Moscow is isolated by the sanctions. It makes further sense with Putin for to get allegiance with Turkey against NATO’s southern flank is an absolute victory. It may be true that the Syrian crisis remains a dividing point between the two countries, but it may be far less than people suspect. Erdogan does not act like an elected official. This is a personal quest for power.

If the NATO nukes are not removed from Turkey, they will deeply regret what is coming down the road in the years ahead.

OBAMA: ‘THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES’ IF CHINA VIOLATES INTERNATIONAL MARITIME LAW


Oh another “red Line” we know how well that works!

America Is Going Under Corporate Martial Law


The TPP must not be enacted or allowed to be implemented it must be stopped. Remember what ever name the politicians give some legislation it is the opposite. This legislation is the exact opposite of free trade. Free trade means free of interference and any legislation is my definition interference but worse this legislation gives away our ability to manage our own trade so it will destroy the country while making a few globalists very very rich.

Can Americans Overthrow The Evil That Rules Them?


I agree with Paul the Russians are no treat to us and the Clinton/Obama foreign policy is leading us to a war with the wrong group. Western Society is already at war with Islam whether it knows it or not and in that war Russia should be an ally not an enemy!

Children and Propaganda


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Sep 1, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Obama-Hitler-Children

QUESTION: I read your latest article how the American Press is engaging in propaganda. I also recalled your July 29 article on Congress authorizing the use of propaganda against the American people. Are there any signs that we can identify propaganda when that is the agenda? Is there some clue?

You are the only person who was on the inside who speaks out.

Thank you

ZT

ANSWEEuro-RefugeeR: Children are always the number one tool for propaganda. Whenever you see a story using children, it is the first sign of propaganda. Whenever they use cSyria Propagandahildren, it is to cover-up something or to get you to support some agenda. They used pictures of children sell the refugee crisis, yet more than 60% are not even from Syria and most of the refugees are young males and not families.

The latest attempt to influence Europeans is this one that even the Guardian just declared the “new symbol of the horror in Syria.” Children are always exploited to sell an agenda.

This is the primary tool of all propaganda machines. The British established the Office of War Propaganda during World War I and became the first to establish a government agency for the purpose of creating propaganda. They enlisted famous authors like Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling to write books casting the Germans as the enemy. MI6 has since created Innovative Communications & Strategies (InCoStrat), which is a sophisticated propaganda machine.

The United States adopted the British method in 1917 after establishing the Committee on Public Information in which they carried out experiments to manipulate people to a given agenda. They too employed some well-known people such as journalist Walter Lippmann and the inventor of modern publicity, Edward Bernays, who was Sigmund Freud’s nephew.

WW2 Buy World Bonds

Even during World War II, the US government used children to sell bonds. There is little doubt that the use of children is the primary motivator. Even in prison, if someone is charged with child molesting, other inmates kill them.

Children are the NUMBER ONE means of engaging in propaganda. So whenever you see some bill signed by the president, whoever that might be at the time, surrounded by children, you know there is something sinister hidden in the bill.

Obama surrounding himself with children for gun legislation, that disarms the honest people and not the criminals, can only mean one thing. They are trying to disarm the population for fear of civil unrest. Criminals do not fight for constitutional issues. They are using the guns in the drug trade as the Mafia does. They could care less about the politics. They ignore them anyhow.
