When will the Great Unwashed Wake Up?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Aug 22, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Now that it is painfully clear , there is no law in the United States, my question would be how long before the great unwashed, realize this ? I understand Socrates, is looking into 2024 , in the panic cycle increasing . What I see coming , are the populations of the world finally coming to the realization this fact , “ the legal system “ no longer exists & masses will reject it en mass , at which point all hell will break loose , and those carrying out the persecution of innocents, will pay for their treachery in blood .

What I find staggering is the fact that ,a group of psychopaths could take us to this point , and nobody stood up to stop them . As we will see going forward, is how the “ white hats “ or simply good people , will feel tremendous guilt for standing by and not speaking out (again) or taking action ,to protect their paycheque, rather than taking the right and just ,action to prevent this madness .
Then again ,this is of no concern to the psychopath state , for they have already proved to their, sick cabal , once ( from the COVID experiment) that the masses will do nothing , even as their loved ones are killed off , with poison. Injections.
GOD HELP US ALL !

REPLY: Unfortunately, this is all part of the cycle of the rise and fall of civilization. Once you hand someone power, it changes them, and they will act in their own self-interest to always expand that power. Our computer has projected that there will be a Directional Change in 2022, and it will begin in 2023. They realize that they are losing power. This is why they are becoming desperate. Just 30 years ago, they at least pretended to be ethical. Today, they do not care. It is like someone who stole $20 from you, and you knew but said nothing. They come back and took another $50, but you said nothing. Then they come back a take $1,000, and suddenly you get mad and ask why? You never cared before?

We have virtually every conflict in our database since ancient times. These forecasts are NOT my personal opinion. Socrates is by far the most sophisticated and accurate Artificial intelligence system on the planet. That’s why all the powers tune in. Personally, I am ready for Scotty to beam me up. I have had a psychic write-in and say I am some old soul, and I volunteered for this. My reply is I must have been drunk, or I misunderstood. This is NOT my opinion against someone else. Sorry! Here are just five models from five important events, and they are ALL projecting targets from mid-2024 until January 2026.

I laid out at our 2011 WEC in Philadelphia that it would all start in 2014. Our computer even projected it would begin in Ukraine. On December 3rd, 2013, I warned that Ukraine was the place to watch. Let’s get real here. The West did instigate the civil war in Syria. That was to help Qatar get a pipeline through Syria to Europe to compete with Russia. That was the whole issue and Obama’s agenda. The Neocons have been trying to cut off Russia’s energy sales in hopes that it would collapse. This is why they targeted Ukraine since the pipelines to Europe go through Ukraine. They blew up Nord Stream Pipeline, which is why Victoria Nuland ran to Neger because the deal was they rook out Nord Stream; Germany said nothing because an alternative deal was struck with Nigeria to bring a pipeline for gas from there to Europe. It had to go through Niger the same, and the one from Qatar had to go through Syra.

The Neocons do not care that Russia is capitalist. Communist collapsed. That does not matter. Instead of creating world peace, and there would be this huge “peace dividend” when Russia fell, that was all undermined by the Neocons. They are evil psychopaths intent on dominating the world precisely as Khrushchev had threatened. The Neocons are just evil people. Inside EVERY country, there are ALWAYS people who are pro-government and anti-government. Not all Russians and Chinese agree with their governments any more than all Americans believe Biden.

Well, Khrushchev was removed from office because he destabilized the world. He is dead but the Neocons in the West were all fired up and have refused to stand down. Watch the movie the courier, and you will see that the dissent inside Russia warned the West all about Cuba – it was not our intelligence agencies.

On June 25, 2020BEFORE the 2020 election, we posted that the election would be manipulated and that Trump should have won. Still, our computer was warning he would probably lose since our geopolitical models showed it could not be Trump starting wars. We will not even make it to the November 2024 elections. This corruption will lead to a turn in the entire world economy post-May 7/8th, 2024. The 2020 election took place on November 3rd, 2020 (2020.841).

Our Rubicon Moment currently may very well be 2023.981 – December 24th. Julius Caesar struck his Rubicon Coinage with the image of an elephant crushing a dragon-headed snake representing the corrupt Senate. Cicero was one of the oligarchs, so he put out the fake news to support their corrupt seizure of the Senate exactly as we see today. History repeats because human nature never changes.

The political storm clouds are gathering. Perhaps this will be our political Christmas gift to the world so they see America as not much different than a banana republic. Maybe that is why Biden is flooding the country with illegal aliens with their hand out for welfare and will give them the right to vote. Democrats in Texas are already proposing that illegal aliens should have a right to vote as long as it is for them. This is an economic war for the United States’ very survival as we know it. These people wage wars and draft our children to die for their vendettas and pretend this is democracy when we are NEVER asked – should we wage war – Yes or No? We have no say in a Republic. It is still a dictatorship.

However, this is also an incredible opportunity. Our present form of republican governments worldwide that pretend we live in a democracy is coming to an end. It is time to begin thinking about what form of new government we created and, just for once, realize that handing power to anyone corrupts their very soul. There MUST be term limits, and any sort of social manipulation can NEVER be allowed. Rome had peace for 1,000 years, NOT because it was one government, but because everyone benefited. Each province was able to sell its goods throughout the empire. There were no trade barriers or attempts to manipulate society for some fictional equality.

FREE TRADE created peace. When everyone benefits from free trade, there is no war. When Russia could sell into the US economy, as did China, it benefits their people who do not want their livelihoods disrupted. When we put on sanctions thinking it will cause the people to rise up and overthrow their government, they are not stupid. They know it is NOT their government – it is the United States and Europe who have become the new dictators of the world. This parody of the sanction has a point. By shutting down world trade, we encourage international war.

The stupidity of the human race is legendary.


NOTE:

Those in power reading this, you will lose. You have NEVER won even once in history. Think hard before you challenge history. Shakespeare’s line about the lawyers needs clarification. Only the King was allowed to have lawyers. They were effectively prosecutors like those going after Trump, who are so stupid to think the other side will not retaliate and do the same. The people will always rise up and hang the oppressors in government. It is time to stop this cycle of bloodshed and realize your quest for a totalitarian state will not materialize, and that goes for your cheerleader – Klaus Schwab. Those in power will own nothing, and I doubt you will be happy. Stop this insanity and wake up. Russia had a bloodless revolution in 1991. Let’s do the right thing. Schwab is preaching Communism all over again – OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES!

The Most Ridiculous Lawfare Narrative Pushed by Special Counsel Jack Smith Portends the Weakness of the Mar-a-Lago Case


Posted originally on the CTH on August 21, 2023 | Sundance 

I did not think it would be possible for those who deploy Lawfare to ever exceed the scale of fakery around Witness #8, Rachel Jeantel.  However, there is an irony in this latest Lawfare deployment being pushed by Jonathan Karl and ABC news; because it was also ABC News, via Matt Gutman, who originally pushed the completely fabricated Trayvon Martin ‘ear witness’.

Before getting to the details of the construct, I must point out two issues.  First, this specific narrative, as pushed by a supposed leak from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution unit, just highlights the insane weakness of the Mar-a-Lago document case and how much they will rely on legal fraud and pretense to maintain it.  This is where Judge Cannon will hopefully play a major role.

Second, I must emphasize that Lawfare in its most obvious construct is not a legal approach per se’, it is the intentional manipulation of the legal system to create the optics around information that is intended to be used by media to influence public opinion.

Just like Rachel Jeantel was never any form of witness to the events around Travon Martin and George Zimmerman, so too is this latest deployment entirely fabricated – ABC News pushing both.

As the story is pushed by ABC News, again based on leaks from Special Counsel Jack Smith, supposedly former President Trump’s Chief of Staff has told prosecutors that he does not remember any effort by President Trump about a standing objective to declassify documents.

[…] “former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has told special counsel Jack Smith’s investigators that he could not recall Trump ever ordering, or even discussing, declassifying broad sets of classified materials before leaving the White House.” (see more)

The transparent fabrication of the story is crystal clear.  Whether ABC is playing a role of willful blind idiocy in their effort to support Jack Smith, or whether this is entirely fabricated by the news organization itself is unknown.  What is stunningly clear is that ABC is pushing a storyline that is entirely false, fake and fabricated.

Everyone -including every media outlet, pundit and journalist- knows that for four solid years President Trump intended to, tried to, and demanded the declassification of, tens of thousands of documents.  There are thousands of pundit hours and hundreds of articles written about the fight between President Trump and various agencies of government to declassify and release documents.  This is not a debatable issue.

Just type “declassify” or “declassification” into the search bar of CTH, and you will find hundreds of citations and examples of our discussion as this information and classification battle was waged.  In fact, the transparency of the ABC fraud is so clear, even Axios -while pushing another angle- would not stand with ABC in the specific framework of their lies.  As noted, “Axios has not yet verified ABC News’ reporting on Meadows.”

Much like Bill Barr, Mark Meadows is a self-interested shallow shell of a DC man, steeped in swamp life and preservation therein. We all accept this.  Yet, even with that at the forefront, there’s no way Meadows is going to be stupid enough to say he has no idea about the broad scope of President Trump’s declassification intentions.  Therefore, if this leak to ABC is legitimately based on information from Jack Smith’s team, then the Florida assembled prosecutors are big time desperate.

Additionally, and very importantly, if this is the Jack Smith prosecution approach, then we were 100% correct in our analysis and research of what the documents were in Mar-a-Lago that Main Justice was so desperate to retrieve {Go Deep}.

In broad terms, there are two sets of documents that intermingle and are directly related. First, documents that highlight the activity of Hillary Clinton’s team in creating the false Trump-Russia conspiracy theory (2015/2016).  Second, documents that highlight the activity of government officials targeting Donald Trump within the same timeframe (Crossfire Hurricane), that continued into 2017, 2018 and 2019 (Robert Mueller).

Think of the two sets of documents as evidence against two teams working in synergy.  Team one (Clinton) was outside government. Team two (DOJ/FBI) was inside government.  The documents pertain to both groups but are also divided.  That helps to explain the wording of the memo above. (more)

Also, keep in mind former DNI John Ratcliffe was at the center of the latter part of the effort to get those documents released to the public.  Deep State institutional preservation manager Bill Barr was obstructing the release and used Deep State institutional preservation manager John Durham as the investigative block.  To further protect the institutions, the FBI went on a mission to retrieve the documents. Consequently, as soon as the Durham block was going to be removed, the Jack Smith block was put into place.

James Comey, then Robert Mueller, then John Durham, now Jack Smith… these are all institutional silos -that’s one long continuum- created by the DC need to throw a bag over any document releases that would reveal the scale and scope of government corruption.

Keep in mind, as the DNI during 2020, Ratcliffe saw the documents that eventually became the material President Trump declassified and left with the DOJ to release after the Durham investigation was complete.  If Ratcliffe’s suspicions are correct, and there is more valid reason to support his suspicions than oppose them, then the entire construct of the DOJ-NSD operation was to retrieve those documents from Mar-a-Lago and maintain one big cover-up operation.

Ratcliffe suspects the documents are essentially the DOJ and FBI work products, including interviews with ‘sources’ like Igor Danchenko, from their fabricated case against President Trump.  If accurate, the objective of the DOJ/FBI would be to avoid sunlight on their political targeting operation.  This viewpoint makes sense when you consider the DOJ/FBI position was/is that no one should ever be allowed to look at those documents, including the previously appointed Special Master in the original document case, Judge Raymond Dearie.

For ABC to claim that Mark Meadows is unaware of the declassification effort, and for Axios to claim that Mike Pence says he was unaware of any effort by Trump to declassify the documents, is just abject absurdity.

If the special counsel is going to go to court and use this framework as their counter-position to President Trump claiming he declassified all the documents, then the special counsel is stunningly desperate.

7 Weeks and the Faustian Deal Hits the Table


Posted originally on the CTH on August 20, 2023 | Sundance

I’m not always right.  Sometimes events change and intersections take place on the path toward the predicted outcome.  However, when ancillary events -mostly driven by human intervention in an effort to avoid what’s coming- do not cross the directional path, we arrive at the predicted destination.

At the end of May CTH shared the motive behind a series of events we should see unfold on the Twitter platform.  By the time we arrived in June, there was enough actual data to solidify a timeline {GO DEEP}. Shortly after, the New York Times published leaked revenue side documents allowing us to calculate an accurate burn rate {Go Deep} for the situation around Elon Musk.  Through this accurate financial prism, everything that Elon Musk has done lines up in sequence {Go Deep}.

Cliff Notes Version:  Musk has a deficit burn rate of around $250 to $300 million per month.  Musk runs out of working capital in Sept/Oct, depending on how quickly Yaccarino was/is able to enhance revenue.

Regardless of revenue, and because she just can’t generate it fast enough, approximately, seven weeks from now Musk has to secure another roughly $5 billion, to give himself enough breathing room to continue operations.

Musk has lost the $30 billion he put in.  The current estimates are that Twitter is now worth between $12 to $15 billion.   There is debt of $12.5 billion from the initial purchase structure still in place.  The asset is worth its debt, not much more.

With a current debt service of $100+ million per month, adding another $50 million/month ($5 billion loan) is tenuous at best. And that’s IF he can secure that investment loan.  Musk has admitted he is personally limited in leverage using Tesla.  He is approaching an inflexion point.  1 million subscribers paying $8/month is pittance ($8 million).

Recently X-Corp:  (1) Linda Yaccarino introduced the novel concept of speech that was “lawful but awful” and must be suppressed. (2) Their desire to remove the block function. (3) Restrictions on visibility, “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach.” (4) and hired back a platform censorship team.  All of these measures are designed to make “safe spaces” for advertisers to return.   In essence, they are all revenue decisions.

People inside tech, and even people inside the X-Corp organization, who initially did not think my analysis was accurate, are now starting to admit it is the most likely scenario.

This arc of directional travel is not going to change, especially with Musk needing to go back into the capital markets for more working cash.  Everything we are seeing is a result of this financial dynamic and the desperation is starting to show.

Yesterday Musk admitted they may indeed fail.  However, he is portraying himself as a victim in this – which is profoundly disingenuous.

Musk has known this critical financial flaw from the outset.  All the intellectually honest people who understand the situation, debts, obligations and the dynamics of social media revenue when contrast against the ideology of the gatekeepers, also know this.  None of this is a surprise.

Musk is getting increasingly anxious about it, and when people start to get desperate – they start to say stupid things.

Now, here’s my warning…

I am pretty certain about the prior timeline.  There’s about 7 weeks left (+/-) before the critical crisis point hits, depending on events that may slightly delay or speed up the timing.  Put his motives, intents and disposition off the table for a moment.  Accept things in their most common construct.  This situation makes Musk vulnerable.

There is only one deal, one specific version of agreement, that I can think of – that would generate the capital he needs.  An agreement to leverage his platform along with META, Insta, Alpha/Goog, etc to influence the 2024 election.  Agreeing to join that effort, more vociferously than previous, will get him the capital he needs…

…. so, watch out.

The only apolitical platform currently operating in the U.S. social media sphere is Tik Tok.   The inability of the US govt to control the platform, is a large part of the reason why U.S. govt interests on both sides want it removed and black-listed.  Pro MAGA voices have a big footprint on Tik Tok.

Repeating what I said in July:

Keep in mind, long before people realized the Dept of Homeland Security (FBI, DHS, CISA etc.) had a portal into Twitter, I was explaining how transparently obvious it was. {Go Deep – Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop} In part, the transparency of the problem is driven by CTH understanding of the costs associated with Twitter as a very unique platform in the sphere of social media. {Go Deep – Understand the Costs}

With the latest revelations we shared about the financial position of Twitter {Go Deep on FINANCIALS}, all of the moves now underway make sense.  Musk was on track to hit a date in/around October of this year where Twitter would be insolvent. If you had read those previous “Go Deep” links, you will easily see the problem.

Approximately seven weeks.

Keep your eyes open.

Neil Oliver, It’s All a Political Pantomime but the Audience Isn’t Buying It…

Zelensky the War Criminal


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine Re-Posted Aug 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The international age limitation on military drafts is generally 18 years or older. Canada and Australia put it at 17 years old. Zelensky has imposed two decrees which prohibit the departure of teenagers aged 16-17 from the country, effectively turning Ukraine into a prison camp. Over 8 million Ukrainians have fled from this tyrant. He has burned through the adults in his army. Instead of entertaining any idea of peace or just allowing the Donbas to vote peacefully as he pretends to defend Democracy, Zelensky has turned to mobilizing the children so he does not have to admit he is wrong. Zelensky is in good company. Time Magazine also named Hitler and Stalin, twice in 1940 & 1943, all Men of the Year.

With a second decree, Zelensky tightened the conscription policy and not just drafted children under 18 but also disregarded whether they were fit or not for military service. On Zelensky’s orders, he is now taking children by force. He refuses to consider the population of Ukraine but prefers to only talk about how great it will be for investors to buy Ukraine since he is killing off the population. He refuses to negotiate and seems to be intentionally turning the people against him personally.

There are many Ukrainians who are starting to see the light that their enemy is Zelensky – not Putin. The day before the invasion, he told the press that Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons. That was the final straw; Putin even said that in his speech to the nation as the reason to invade, the same as the US concern over Cuba back in 1962.

Even the pro-Ukraine Washington Post, which would love World War III to sell more papers, reported that Zelensky knew when Russia would invade and did not warn his people because of money. “If we had communicated that … then I would have been losing $7 billion a month since last October, and at the moment when the Russians did attack, they would have taken us in three days,” Zelensky said.

If Zelensky is assassinated, the West will blame Russia. There is far more incentive to kill this high-heel pretend head of state from inside the ranks of Ukraine for destroying their country, all on the orders of the Neocons for a strip of land that has been the home of Russians for hundreds of years. Russia did NOT invade Ukraine; it came to support the Donbas, which was supposed to have a democratic right to vote on their separation under the Minsk Agreement. Why should China, Russia, or any country trust the EU and the United States ever again when they do not honor agreements?

The lies are just over the top. Ukraine was free. Just honor the Minsk Agreement; the Ukrainians had their first country in history. But no! Zelensky is lining his pockets while pretending he was fighting for freedom and demonocracy when that was secured under the Minsk Agreement. This is going down in history alongside the weapon of mass destruction. The Neocons also bullshitted the world for another one of their endless wars they never win. These people are the real war criminals. They start wars all for their deranged view of hatred.

Zelensky has done nothing but try to drag the entire world into his war against Russia. And for what? A territorial grab where Ukrainian have never lived? Any politician who supports Ukraine and this deliberate attempt to create World War III should be barred from ever holding any public office, including a dog catcher or a sanitation worker cleaning toilets.

He wants to kill off our American children now so he can create the biggest investment project with Blackrock – real blood money. Personally, I would not advise anyone who puts money in Blackrock. They should take a gun, go to Ukraine, and fight like they want everyone else to do so they can make their subsequent big profit over the blood of our children. Pure evil scum! I would not invest with any firm looking to do business in Ukraine.

Yellen: Most Americans Feel Good About Their Own Economic Situation


Armstrong Economic Blog/Inflation Re-Posted Aug 17, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

How does Janet Yellen still have a job? She is completely out of touch and merely a mouthpiece for the political elite. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had the audacity to claim that most Americans are happy with their financial situation despite every bit of data indicating otherwise. “So, they seem to perceive the economy as a whole as doing less well than they are personally. But most Americans feel good about their own economic situation.”

The CNN reporter questioning Yellen mentioned a poll in question showing that 75% of Americans realize that the economy is in poor condition. Another 63% said they disapprove of how President Biden is addressing the economic crisis. The reporter asked Yellen if she could assure the people that prices would go down, and she said no. Inflation allegedly is declining based on government data but people are still paying significantly more for absolutely everything.

Yellen is completely in bed with the WEF and the BUILD BACK BETTER global elite. She admitted that the true reason behind the Inflation Reduction Act was to propel the climate change agenda. “The Inflation Reduction Act is, at its core, about turning the climate crisis into an economic opportunity,” Yellen admitted. She is either mentally impaired or dismissive of the true struggles Americans face. Since Biden is incapable of campaigning, Yellen is traveling around the states and touting the imaginary success of Bidenomics.

The most inflationary driver is war. When questioned, Yellen said it was simply Russia’s fault that the US was involved in this proxy war, and only the Russian economy is suffering. There are now questions on whether the white powdery substance found in the White House belongs to Yellen. She recently called the US debt downgrade “arbitrary” and disagrees with the data. She does not speak as an authority on economics, but rather, she speaks as if she were a puppet of the WEF implanted in government to spread economic-related propaganda.

Oliver Anthony Worldwide


Armstrong Economics Blog/WEF Re-Posted Aug 16, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Not only has Oliver Anthony’s songs gone viral here (NA) but also in China. Messages indicate that any kind of attempt to reference/share to his songs is now banned across WeChat. Apparently, there is a cleverly-worded Mandarin “rap version” circulating.
So the emotions appear to be universal and now…possibly something like “star spangled banner” as far as focus for a lot of disaffected workers…Every major change needs a proper emotional “anchor” and this appears to be possible here…
Did the Romans or other civilizations that collapsed experience music/song as part of the downfall?
take care,
YK

REPLY: Our client base is in the millions worldwide. I get interview requests from around the globe. That is definitely showing that many people around the world are coming to similar conclusions. The elite are being driven by Schwab and his deranged ideas. As I have said, he is a control freak in how he runs his WEF. He is trying desperately to do that to the entire world. He has ZERO respect for humanity and our freedom from tyranny as well as freedom of thought.

The Shadowbanning of the United States Internet


August 16, 2023 | Sundance 

There really is no other phrase that seems to adequately describe the future for online life in the United States than to describe it through the prism of the previously discussed shadow banning that takes place on the X-platform for specifically wrong-thinking users.

It is important to begin with the end in mind.  Perhaps some people are unaware that internet services, meaning the actual experience of using the internet for communication and commerce, are not the same in every nation.  In fact, it is quite a different experience depending on where on the globe you are located.  The differences are driven by internal controls, the intranet of the regional internet per se.

The internet in China is not the same as the internet in Europe, which is not the same as the internet in Australia, which is not the same as the internet in North America, which is not the same -at all- as the internet that now exists within Russia.  Even in some continents, the internet traffic flows are controlled at different levels within each nation. The “world wide web” is a format, but when you get down to the national level, things change.

This baseline helps to understand that internet freedom is defined by access to information and commerce.

To the extent the information or commerce is defined as against the interests of the authority structure, or potentially a threat to the national security interest of the government therein, the internet content is filtered, modified, censored, removed or just simply blocked from view.  This is one layer in the information control system.

Another layer is the flow of commerce that floats atop the flow of information.  This is where advertising, product sales, purchasing and general e-commerce takes place. This layer represents another option for control; therefore, this e-commerce layer should be considered running in parallel to the information, albeit perhaps indirectly attached.

When western government applied economic sanctions against Russia via financial restrictions writ large, the layer of internet commerce control merged with the information and national security control systems of the internet.

Russian citizens were blocked from e-commerce access, specifically from western nations in alignment with the sanctions, and the mechanisms of online purchasing were restricted.  However, the entire world did not participate in the sanctions, and there is a massive amount of e-commerce that takes place, even with the systems of western control financial blocks in place.

Additionally, there is a large black-market system for commerce and financial transactions that started organically in the aftermath of the Russian sanctions.  Crypto currency, as a financial transaction mechanism, was predictable; however, over time people became even more strategic and alternate transfer systems were created.  You can purchase advertising in Russia, but are you really purchasing advertising – or are the purchasers really just transferring funds?  Think about it.

I share that Russia example, because I do not want people to get too disheartened in what is going to happen here in the United States.  There will always be a market for information, regardless of the control systems that are created to stop it.  Additionally, there will always be smart rebellious people who think of ways to subvert the intents of the control mechanisms.  Freedom may be diminished from a raging fire to a small burning flame, but it will never be fully extinguished.  WE just need to learn to adapt.

It took me over two years to assemble The Benghazi Brief, because the background story was so large and complex that it took time, research and retrospection to appropriately contextualize the truth of the issue.  The Benghazi attack was a small, albeit deadly outcome, of a much larger story.  The brief walks through everything in context.

In a similar construct, the Shadowbanning of The United States internet is a big and complex story, and I am only about halfway through the assembly of all the data to put context to it.  However, as time becomes critical, it is important for me to push the information forward – because many of the timelines in the construct are likely to surface before I am complete with the fully assembled story.

I am going to drop some links that will help serve as a flashlight into the rabbit hole.  Each story may seem initially disparate or disconnected.  However, I would encourage you to think big picture with each of the puzzle pieces that are presented.  This is likely to become a series, and I will create a new “Internet” category on the side bar where I will tag any future elements.

Please keep in mind, the issues of e-commerce: ie. information monetization, advertising, deplatforming and debanking, are not disconnected from the issues of information control.  The same larger national security system that has mandated (and will mandate), information blocks, content censorship, content restrictions, content removal and various platform control elements, is all part of one interconnected compliance system.  Electronic Commerce and Electronic Information are all subject to the online control process.  This is a public-private partnership on the internet.

The origin of the public-private partnership goes all the way back to the origin of the tech system in relationship to the DARPA programs and government sponsored research labs.  The outcome of the modern partnership is evident in the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) collaboration with the various communication platforms or pipes of information. Systems like the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database, are simply outcomes of the partnership.  There are hundreds more.

There is a rush now to provide context because Artificial Intelligence (AI), or smart data systems, are launching into the United States internet control mechanisms almost daily.  We are close to the time when AI will be triggered to help control the content of the internet under the guise of national security.

The timeline for full deployment of the modern United States internet control system, is likely around late fall and early winter this year, in advance of the 2024 U.S. election cycle.

Everything will change.  Every route of online traffic including Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) to filters and rerouting on Domain Name Systems (DNS), to the Internet Protocol (IP) itself will be subject to change in the form of background shadow banning.  If the DHS partnership is successful, you will not initially notice – much like a shadow banned platform user doesn’t notice their new defined status.  The shift will become more obvious over time.

One odd outcome will be a regional targeting system.  Depending on where you are in the USA, your online experience will be different. There will also be enhancements to your internet travel based on your profile.  Good thinking users will have benefits that enhance the experience of the user and supports the interests of the national security guardians.

♦ Deployment of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is irrelevant in this construct.  A VPN is like you renting a car without a license plate.  You travel past all the Automatic License Plate Readers, arrive at your destination, leave the keys in the ignition and just abandon the car.  Your personal travel was essentially invisible to the APLR system.  However, when the internet roads are controlled by the national security state, and there is no longer an offramp to the destination, your VPN use is irrelevant – you cannot reach your destination.  That’s part of the shift.

You will notice I use the term “definition” quite often.  That is because the root of every control mechanism is grounded upon defining things.  When you accept the terms ‘disinformation’, ‘misinformation’, and/or ‘malinformation’, you are buying into the process that permits definitions to determine your travel. Those who define both you and your destination, ultimately control your online experience.

Now, before getting to a recent example of this construct as it is being built, it is important to return to the e-commerce aspect and overlay the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) index into the world of online commerce.

♦ Right now, you can physically boycott Bud Light by choosing another brand.  However, for total goods and services the amount of online purchasing is now exceeding the amount of purchasing in real life (brick and mortar shopping).   Overlay the economic control system (think Russian sanctions approach) with the national security requirements for DEI, amid all online commerce, and apply that layer of analysis.  In the e-commerce world, choosing not to buy Bud Light will become a little more difficult; and those who do support the boycott become subject to the previously mentioned “definitions”.

I’m jumping ahead, because today there was a big development. As you read this, do not think small as presented – think bigger.  Think beyond the use of AI moderation on a platform, and think of AI moderation on the U.S. Internet System.  Online moderation conducted by AI:

OPEN AI – […] GPT-4 is also able to interpret rules and nuances in long content policy documentation and adapt instantly to policy updates, resulting in more consistent labeling. We believe this offers a more positive vision of the future of digital platforms, where AI can help moderate online traffic.

[…] Content moderation demands meticulous effort, sensitivity, a profound understanding of context, as well as quick adaptation to new use cases, making it both time consuming and challenging. Traditionally, the burden of this task has fallen on human moderators sifting through large amounts of content to filter out toxic and harmful material, supported by smaller vertical-specific machine learning models. The process is inherently slow and can lead to mental stress on human moderators.

We’re exploring the use of LLMs to address these challenges. Our large language models like GPT-4 can understand and generate natural language, making them applicable to content moderation. The models can make moderation judgments based on policy guidelines provided to them. (read more

Do you remember me telling you about what I noticed in the most recent Google spider crawls?

“The Alpha/Google spiders are not crawling around with their enhanced AI looking for words, phrases or content issues.  Enhanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) has given the spiders the ability to look for context.  The new Alpha/Goog AI spiders are crawling the internet looking for information provided with a detrimental and accurate context.  Those who are applying truthful context are the subversive voices that must be targeted.  Keep this in mind.”

I can get in big trouble for sharing this next graphic, but f**kit… I’m all in.

Google Spider Crawl Result, CTH Subversive Content, July 2023

As we have shared, the crawl is not headlines, the crawl is in content.  Yes, even content in the comment section is now flagging to the control systems.  Why? Because we operate a proprietary constructed private commenting system that doesn’t have a backdoor and protects you, the user.

The Google Spiders are newly enhanced with AI instructions, dispatched looking for content and ‘context’ that is against the interests of the Vanguard, Blackrock, Larry Page (Alpha/Goog owners), and the public-private partnership.

Look at the one I have highlighted above titled “Have you ever noticed this.”  Do you remember it?  [Reminder Here] This content is considered “dangerous or derogatory”. Think about that for a moment.  Discussing the humor of Donald Trump, and the fellowship it creates, is considered “dangerous” to the interests of Google.

Do not get alarmed, get informed.

I share this information with you so that you understand what is being constructed and what is about to be deployed on a large scale throughout the U.S. internet operating system.  The U.S. internet will be different.  The social media restrictions became more prevalent and noticeable in the past several years; now it is time for DHS to expand that process to the entire U.S. internet.

When I wrote about Jack’s Magic Coffee shop, people initially thought I was crazy – but the guys inside the coffee shop didn’t.  Eventually DHS control over Twitter was revealed in the Twitter files.  The same background is true here.  The entire American online apparatus is going to change, quite soon.

More will follow….

Maui Suffers from America-Last Policies


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Aug 16, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The fires in Maui claimed the lives of at least 99 people. Over a thousand people are still missing as crews rush to identify remains. This was the deadliest wildfire on US soil in over 100 years. There is a lot of speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the fires, but one proven conspiracy is that the US government is putting America last.

On Sunday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it was too soon to calculate the damages, but a low estimate is $6 billion. The President of the United States made sure to address his main priority by sending a $200 million aid package to Ukraine this week.  “Air defense, anti-armor, and munitions will keep the Ukrainian armed forces in the fight to defend their country’s sovereignty, territory, and people,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced on Monday as search teams continued to search Maui for any survivors. This is chump change for Ukraine as the White House is seeking hundreds of billions in extra funds.

Joe Biden was spotted on the beaches of Delaware this weekend as Hawaii burned down. He refused to comment on the situation and did not let it interrupt his vacation. Biden finally took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the crisis. “We’re laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginable difficult time. We have the staff on the ground dedicated to helping survivors navigate the registration process.”

So Hawaii received $1.8 million in aid. What is $700 going to do for the people who lost everything and perhaps everyone? In comparison, a foreign nation received $200 million this week. We are witnessing what happens when the government pivots from America-First to America-Last policies.
