Is Europe Deliberately Crushing their Economy for the Great Reset?


Armstrong Economics Blog/European Union Re-Posted Oct 30, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT #1 (France): What the hell is going on?! This is so frustrating. I want, no, NEED someone to shed some real, unbiased light on this. Do you have some available?K

COMMENT#2 (Spain): Hi Marty,

Hope you’re ok. Jealous of you being in Florida!! (Assuming it’s still relatively sane over there.)

As you will no doubt know, Europe is heading back to total lockdown everywhere. Eastern Europe has been the worst, actually. They’ve gone totally tyrannical, ever since September.
Masks mandatory everywhere (incl. on the streets, parks, etc), cafes, restaurants, all culture, many/most shops and “non-essential” businesses now closed in most areas, and total lockdown in places like Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, etc.
There have been some small-scale demonstrations in recent weeks in Bratislava, Prague, Poland, etc – and the cops (and in some cases military) have used brutal force against the peaceful protesters (water cannons, tear gas, firing rubber bullets, etc). In Slovakia, they’ve threatened to jail people who participated, because in “state of emergency” long jail penalties can be given to anyone disobeying the rules that ban public/social gatherings, etc.

Also, Slovakia is doing mandatory “covid” testing of the entire population (except kids under 10 years of age)! It’s not technically mandatory BUT, anyone who will not have the document attesting a negative test result (which people must carry with themselves at all time in case they’re stopped by police, and also to be able to go to work or enter any shop) will be deemed “positive” and not allowed to leave home at all! So, if you don’t get tested, you’re screwed – not able to go to work, to buy anything in a store, or even to leave home because cops will be patrolling and asking for the document.

As I’ve told you some time ago… Westerners are under the illusion that people from formerly communist/totalitarian countries would resist tyranny. Well, they don’t. The VAST majority of people in all these countries are ok with all this tyranny; they think it’s for “public health” (aka for their own good), and they turn not on the tyrannical government but on the few who don’t want to obey these evil, anti-human, tyrannical mandates.

Aside of perhaps China (with their evil total monitoring, social credit score, etc etc) Slovakia is now literally right on top of the most tyrannical countries. No test, no leaving home! (And, of course, soon the “test” will be replaced by a “vaccine”, then a chip, etc – and everyone will get injected because otherwise they will have to be locked in at home and starve to death!)

Most people didn’t believe Europe would go back into lockdown… well, here we are. And it’s only October – the flu season hasn’t even properly started yet.
We’re soon going to envy those who lived under Stalin or Mao.

Depressing as hell….I don’t want to live in this sick tyrannical world.

Take care.

REPLY: I have friends around the world who are all writing in and becoming very concerned. Europe is intent on pushing the Great Reset, using this virus as the justification to crush the economy to force people to ACCEPT their Guaranteed Basic Income and to usher in the Great Reset. Instead of revising the system properly, they have taken the totalitarian approach to retain power. I seriously question if there will be any elections post-2024 and there is a high probability that we will see international war by 2027.

There is absolutely NO possible way these people do not know what they are doing. This is a deliberate action to use COVID-19 to crush the economy and the people into submission. If you simply look at the European share indexes, you see nothing remotely similar to the United States. They are down on average 30% for the year and they look like death warmed-over.

The Facts on Andrew Cuomo’s Nursing Home Policy


Re-Posted from JUST THE FACTS By Anna Lynn and James Agresti
October 29, 2020

Wednesday morning on ABC’s The View, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gave a factually misleading explanation for the thousands of people who died with Covid-19 in NY nursing homes.

After co-host Sunny Hostin praised Cuomo’s book Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic as “absolutely fantastic,” she said to the governor:

There has been a lot of confusion about an alleged March 25th order that directed nursing homes to accept in New York, infected Covid patients, possibly leading to the death of more than 6,000 seniors. Now you say in your book that that was a lie—that New York state never demanded or directed that any nursing home accept a Covid-positive patient. The Department of Justice however is now supposedly looking into this issue. Can you explain what really happened?

Cuomo replied:

Yea, what a shock that the Department of Injustice sends a letter a few days before an election trying to advance a political theory. I was shocked and amazed that the Trump administration was capable of such a thing. Sunny, they have played politics on this from day one, right? They have done a terrible job on Covid from day one, and they want a counter-defense, and what they were saying was, “Well, a lot of people died in nursing homes in Democratic states. It’s not just New York, it’s all the Democratic states.”

The truth is a lot of people did die in nursing homes in Democratic states. The truth is people are dying today in nursing homes in Republican states. It’s just that Democratic states had the disease worse and earlier, and older people are more vulnerable to Covid, right? We were introduced to Covid in the state of Washington in a nursing home.

If you look at how many people died in New York nursing homes, New York is number 46 out of 50 states in the percentage of deaths in nursing homes. The way the law works is no nursing home in New York can accept a patient if they don’t believe they can care for that patient adequately, and if they can do it within the safety of their facility.

So the conspiracy they’re trying to spread just has no factual basis. But yes, people in nursing homes died, and they’re playing politics with the issue, which I think is especially cruel because people who lost loved ones in a nursing home, they’re dealing with it, and now they also have to deal with the confusion or the pain of maybe government did this.

Hostin’s choice of words and Cuomo’s entire statement are incompatible with the facts of this matter. The Cuomo administration’s March 25th order is not “alleged” but a fact. This order explicitly states:

No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH [nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.

That mandate was at direct odds with two key scientific facts about C-19 that were widely known since the outset of the pandemic:

  1. Elderly people and those with chronic ailments—who are the very definition of nursing home residents—are extremely vulnerable to the virus.
  2. The virus is highly transmissible, and thus, it can easily sweep through large groups of sickly and/or aged people who live together.

Including an estimated 18 days between infection and death, over 5,900 nursing home patients in NY were lost by the time Cuomo rescinded this policy. The fact that Cuomo repealed this mandate belies his claim that it did no harm.

Furthermore, Cuomo’s statistics on NY nursing home deaths are greatly understated because his Department of Health excluded people who caught the disease in a nursing home but died “outside of the facility.” Thus, Cuomo’s “official” figure may undercount the real one by thousands of deaths.

While rejecting calls for an independent investigation, Cuomo has repeatedly blamed others for the nursing home carnage in his state, but none of his explanations hold water:

  • Cuomo first faulted nursing homes, stating that they were only required to readmit C-19 patients “if they have the ability to provide the adequate level of care.” However, Cuomo’s order:
    • unequivocally states in underlined text, “No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH [nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.”
    • often made it impossible for homes to know if they could provide appropriate care by banning them from “requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.”
    • never mentioned or implied that it is illegal under NY State law for nursing homes to accept someone they cannot care for properly.
  • Cuomo then claimed that his order “followed President Trump’s CDC guidance,” but the truth is that this guidance:
    • doesn’t recommend putting C-19 patients into nursing homes.
    • states that C-19 patients “should go to a facility with adequate personal protective equipment supplies and an ability to adhere to infection prevention….”
  • Cuomo’s top aide, Melissa DeRosa later said that his policy was “in-line directly” with directives from the Trump administration’s Centers For Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), but to the contrary:
    • 12 days before Cuomo’s order, CMS warned that homes must be “vigilant in identifying any possible infected individuals” and “follow CDC guidance.”
    • CMS administrator Seema Verma directly responded to DeRosa’s claims, stating that the CMS was “clear and unmistakable” in stating that nursing homes should reject people that they cannot care for, and “any insinuation to the contrary is woefully mistaken at best and dishonest at worst.”
  • After that, Cuomo claimed that NY “had more people die” because the Trump administration “missed the boat and never told us that this virus was coming from Europe and not from China.” In reality, the Trump administration issued a near-total ban on travel from Europe on the same day that the World Health Organization declared C-19 a pandemic (March 11). Yet, Cuomo did not announce a stay-at-home order until more than a week later on March 20.
  • Finally, Cuomo’s Department of Health published a report that returned to blaming nursing homes while claiming that his policy was not a “significant factor” in fatalities. However, the report:
    • misinterprets association as causation by arguing that a “link between the timing of staff infection and nursing home fatalities” proves the nursing home staff transmitted the virus to residents.
    • uses a false measure of timing based on the number of homes with an infected staff member instead of the actual number of infected staff members.
    • uses grossly incomplete data that excludes residents who caught the virus in nursing homes but died “outside of the facility,” a figure that could number in the thousands.

So in the face of proven scientific facts and crystal clear guidance from federal health agencies, Cuomo forced C-19 carriers into the vicinity of the people who are most vulnerable to the virus.

Cuomo and his surrogates then used a series of falsehoods to cast blame for his policy on others. Now, he is impugning people who would hold him accountable for his actions.Share the Data

Rockefeller Family Tells Banks to Stop Funding Fossil Fuels


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Oct 30, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

These people are absolutely insane. They think they should stop all fossil fuel produce now and leave cars stranded and eliminate any way to distribute food. I suppose they will suddenly realize that there are not enough horses and wagons to bring food to them in New York City. There is a real problem here when the Gates and Rockefeller Foundations are intent on reducing the population and eliminating democracies so they can impose their vision of the future by sheer decree. Perhaps this is a disease that comes from having too much money.

What Klaus Schwab’s World Really Looks Like


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Oct 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The destruction of small businesses is just insane. I would expect this if we were faced with a real disease with 20% of the population dying. The death rate of this COVID-19 is really no worse than the flu. Politicians cannot be this stupid. The destruction of small business is NOT going to magically be reversed by opening up. This is deliberate and it is much more in line with Klaus Schwab’s Communist agenda.

It certainly seems that these politicians are, in fact, trying to carry out Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset. Nothing seems to make sense. I could not believe he has the audacity to put out his promo ahead of the US election saying you will own nothing. I lived in London. I loved it because there were small specialty shops where people still made shirts, and others handmade briefcases. I loved rummaging around the antique book stores. All of that is now gone. I really do not want to live in the type of world Schwab has been advising politicians to create.

I went behind the Berlin Wall. I saw the conditions firsthand. Like Schwab, they lied to the people and said the wall was to keep people out because they all wanted to share the glorious utopia of Communism.

Schwab & Soros Destruction of Western Culture


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Oct 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Dear Martin/AE team

Thank you for your and/or your incredible team’s replies to my questions. I understand how incredibly busy you all are, and I am so grateful for your insights. I’m trying with your help to figure out what’s happening!

Your work confirms that the rise and fall of great civilizations is a biological phenomenon driven by an invisible hand. Humans are players on the stage – assuming roles in the larger wave or cycle, apparently not directing it but somehow unconsciously acting out the rise and then the decline. As a Catholic, I believe God is the first, eternal, perfect unmoved mover driving the eternal rhyming cycle of time.

Currently, the Marxists and communists in their quest to be God and perfect the world, are destroying human rights, private property, religious freedom – essentially, everything that made the Christian West great. You have stated they will fail – so are their centralist, supranational post-human plans somehow manifesting (instead of causing) the inevitable decline? Are they just foolish, deranged actors responding unknowingly to the cycle? Like Judas who betrayed Christ for 30 pieces of silver, regretted his actions and then killed himself, or like Cain who destroyed his brother and then suffered eternal damnation, do think possibly the Marxist destroyers of the West are in fact part of God’s salvation plan? Are they like Judas and Cain – acting out a role? Unless they repent (and that doesn’t look too likely) they will suffer eternal separation from God. Betrayal and suffering were/are necessary for redemption/salvation. We have free will – to choose to worship God or be deceived by worldly sin. Is this the meaning of all this? Is this the passion we must suffer to reach salvation?

Their plans will fail you say, and revolutions will come, so please tell me: Is worldwide tyranny impossible because our desire for God will save us?

Thank you so much for everything.

Sincerely,

Margaret

ANSWER: They are playing God, for they neither believe in any God nor do they believe in the cyclical nature of the universe. The LEFT never believes in God. They see religion as a weakness and a fantasy indistinguishable from Santa Claus.

Dianne Feinstein is an example of how they are very much against religion on the left. Her opposition to Barrett is based entirely on religion. They will fail BECAUSE nobody can control the entire world and force it to accept their dogma. Human nature will never accept that objective. The last time this was attempted using Marxism, several hundred million people died in their fight for freedom.

People often ask me how did I survive their attempt to suppress me and to use Socrates to control the world rather than using it to save the world. They torture people all the time in the United States. As long as they do not leave a mark on your body, they pretend it is not torture.

This movie, “The Report,” exposes the true story about how America tortured people. It was John Brennan, the man against Trump, who was covering up the illegal actions of the CIA. There is a consistent theme that runs through these people — lie and lie again to cover up the previous lie.

They push you beyond the fear of death. You can arrive at a point where death is seen as a blessing in the hands of these people. They waterboarded a prisoner 182 times and got nothing because they have nothing to give. When you pass that point and they no longer can threaten you with death, you take all their power. You will never meet such people who think they are so righteous and that everyone else is just scum unworthy of life. Only then do you see the hatred that resides with the LEFT. They must rule at all costs and your death is simply something that you deserved. There is ZERO justice in our legal system.

They will fail, as they always do, because they neither respect human nature nor do they understand it. However, they will destroy Western culture and they truly want to bury all religions. This is part of the cycle. After the fall of Rome, India rose to be the world’s #1 economy. That is why Columbus set sail to try to reach India but bumped into the Americas instead. Yet, he called the inhabitants Indians. The #1 economy moved to China and then there were the Opium Wars. Eventually, Britain became the #1 world economy and they declined, passing the title to the USA post-World War I. The USA will decline as Schwab and Soros seek to end it as a superpower. They think they can muster the power inside the United Nations to take over the world. Both China and Russia will resist, and in the end, China will rise as the next #1 world economy.

Warsaw Protests Massive Police Invation & Arrests Against Lockdown

Common Theme: All Protestors are Far-Right Nazis


Armstrong Economics Blog/Italy Re-Posted Oct 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The Italian press is keeping the theme that anyone who dares to protest and complain about lockdowns is a worthless far-right person who does not deserve even to live. They have turned the police against the people by claiming anyone who resists is really a criminal. This is how tyranny unfolds. They demonize anyone who resists, and we are all just to lay down all our rights. All tyrannical governments in history have routinely turned anyone in opposition is a criminal — e.g., Stalin. This is what becomes the “new norm” and why revolutions will follow. It is just standard throughout history. Only when the police refuse to follow the decrees of the government will there is a bloodless revolution.

Berlin Protest 10-28-2020 & the Tipping Point


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Oct 28, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

19Today we had another demonstration in Berlin. This time, people remained in their cars, busses, and trucks again along the Kurfürstendamm, Berlin’s most known shopping street. All people from the event as well as the tourism industry have joined. This is the response to the officially confirmed second lockdown starting from November, 2nd. Instead of people walking and they are banning such gatherings, this time they are driving vehicles down the street.Under the new lockdown, all restaurants, bars need to close. All entertainment such as cinemas, concert halls, theatres, operas, events will be closed. The swimming centers and gyms need to close. All sport team activities are banned and any private traveling is prohibited. Hotel stays are only allowed for business trips exclusively.German Lockdown 10-28-2020Attached is the official Lockdown Order of MerkelWith so many members of the German government coming out against Merkel, such as the German Minister of Health who admitted that the lockdowns were a mistake, one must question if Merkel has not been bribed. Now the data on the COVID situation and mortality in Germany has surfaced showing that there has “apparently never been an epidemiological emergency.” Nevertheless, we have to come to the realization that this has nothing to do with protecting people.

 This appears to be intended to try to crush the economy so that the people will accept the crumbs being offered and sign on to this new world of totalitarianism promoted by the World Economic Forum and funded by Bill Gates. Big Tech are all lining up with Gates from Twitter, Facebook, and Google censoring any anti-comments about COVID-19. Destroying businesses on a wholesale basis seems to be intended to create this new world where you own nothing. They then seem to be looking at nationalizing the big ones that they also push against the wall. This is becoming one giant step forward to push Western Society into the waiting arms of Klaus Schwab. They overestimate their power and underestimate that it only takes 40% of the population to disagree and become active to overthrow a government – i.e. American and French Revolutions.At some point, the police and/or army will divide and wake up and realize that by oppressing the people just following orders as they claim at the Nuremberg Trials, they are also acting against their own families and destroying their future. That will be the tipping point.

Battleground Michigan – Biden and Obama Planning Campaign Push in Michigan Saturday – Undisclosed Location to Prevent MAGA Swarm…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on October 28, 2020 by sundance

According to the popular media narrative Joe Biden has a commanding lead in the state of Michigan.  However, that claim is belied by the need for the campaign’s biggest influence agent, former President Barack Obama, to join Biden on Saturday in Michigan.

If internal polling did not show a problem, they would not be campaigning there.  Which hearkens back to the foundational reality mentioned several weeks ago that Gretchen Whitmer’s COVID lockdown has backfired against the Biden campaign in a state they were counting on.  The false narrative is running into reality as the MAGA movement surges.

Interestingly, the Michigan -vs- Michigan State football game is happening on the same day, so interest in Obama is already facing a headwind…. And the fact that Biden-Harris are keeping the venue secret highlights their effort to avoid a repeat of recent swarms of Trump supporters showing up and outnumbering the Biden crowd.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer has turned herself into a severe liability through her arbitrary and unpopular COVID lockdown dictates.  Whitmer was positioning herself for a cabinet position in a Biden administration; those hopes are diminishing by the hour.

The Execution Of Our Free Speech


Free Speech no longer exists in America any longer, The First Amendment is Gone!

The Silicon Valley billionaires who control social media want to control our free speech. Not all of it…we are still free to talk about our pets, our favorite drink or restaurant, or post pictures of our vacations. We simply can’t post anti-Deep State views about politics. We especially can’t question the medical tyrants who own and control ‘science.’ We could get banned for that! Questioning state authority could lead to a gulag for Chinese citizens. American citizens get warned, banned, or deleted. The Silicon Valley billionaires are part of the Deep State and we aren’t allowed to criticize their state. They are in alignment with Communist China, whom they admire. They all want a social credit system and a cashless society in order to bring more power and control.

I got my first rude awakening about censorship when I wrote an email to a friend in Germany. I was using Yahoo mail as a backup. For many years I traded occasional emails about classical music and culture with him. This time I typed an email concerning the corona virus and I expressed some doubt about what our ‘authorities’ had been asserting. I sent the email and a few minutes later it got kicked back to me by Yahoo. They said my mail had been censored for spreading ‘misinformation.’ That’s hard core censorship. It was as if the Post Office had opened my private mail, and returned it as undeliverable because the post master didn’t agree with my opinion. Shortly thereafter, Yahoo banned all commentary to their news stories. I often skipped their biased stories and went straight to the comments. Most of the commenters were onto the bias. So what did Yahoo do? They simply shut everyone up.

Since then, such censorship has become commonplace and growing steadily worse. Americans have not sufficiently pushed back. Many simply accept getting silenced as a new reality. Our Fourth Amendment has been obliterated and now the First Amendment has been under assault. We are no longer allowed to assemble unless we are socialist protestors. Mandatory vaccines are on the horizon. If we speak out against it, we’ll be censored. Joe Biden is owned by China, but our watchdog media has stood down. Not only aren’t they investigating Joe’s obvious corruption, they’re helping ban those who do. Adam Schiff says it’s all Russian propaganda. How long will the Deep State keep resorting to that canard? It doesn’t matter if we believe it or not, as long as we are rendered quiescent as they murder our free speech.

Welcome to the United States of Communist China.
