QUESTION: Marty, it appears that the September panic was on the upside, and it also appears to be a turning point. It looks like it may be a high in the Dow and Gold on a closing basis. I must say, it’s far easier to see now that this election may be the last. Does making a panic to the upside and a high dovetail into a war scenario you have been warning about for the election?

Kerry

ANSWER: I laid out the risks in gold on the private blog. Yes, the Panic was to the upside (see Glossary), and you are correct; this does not bode well for the near future. A Panic to the Downside would have provided a buying opportunity in October, but this pattern is sending up a red flare. A Panic to the Upside is a clear warning that the pattern unfolding is very serious, and it indeed includes the high probability of major civil unrest that will hurt domestic markets as nobody will accept the outcome. The problem we have is what I warned about throughout this year. There remains a risk that our Neocons fear a Trump victory and are pushing for war before the Election.

Israel attacked a Russian airbase under the pretense that Iran dropped off supplies there for Hezbolla. Our office in UAE has reported that Russia has warned all Russians to get out of Israel ASAP. Meanwhile, Russia is turning up the heat in Expanding in Ukraine. Zelensky sent a force to invade Russia in hopes that they would attack anything in NATO to claim Russia was the aggressor. Putin is not stupid.

Zelensky’s Victory Plan is to use long-range missiles to wage a full-scale war on Russia to destroy as much as possible prior to a NATO invasion. I have warned that Putin must reverse his position and take this war seriously as a NATO invasion or be overthrown by the Russian hardline Neocons. Our model targeted October for this, so we have just seen Putin reject peace negotiations. He has been forced to see reality. He has authorized glid bombs launched from aircraft, but he may also use the Father of All Bonds, which is the largest non-nuclear weapon that has the impact of a small nuke.

Our office in the UAE is reporting that while Israel attacked the Russian airbase, it seems like the people of Syria are split on whether they like Assad or not. The Kurds are against Hezbollah/Iran/Russia and were quite happy Israel took out Nazrellah. Iranian Khomani spoke to unite the Muslims against Israel. Our staff there commented that it seems like it’s going to kick off when Israel attacks Iran.

It’s a holiday in Israel this weekend, so it is normal to go quiet. However, Biden did respond to a question if attacking Iran’s energy facility is likely. He said he was in discussion with Israel, thereby confirming that the US is involved strategically. That was not very smart. That statement confirms to the Arab world that the American Neocons are involved.

Strait of Hormuz

The other side of this same coin is that Iran could also shut down the Strait of Hormuz, which would send energy prices sky-high in the West using oil as a weapon, as was the case during the 1970s. It was October 7th, 1973 when Iraq nationalized the holdings of the two U.S. oil companies operating in the Arab nation, Exxon and Mobil. They did so to show support for Egypt and Syria in their war against Israel.

1973 Oil Embargo ECM

This was 51 years ago.  Our models show that Crude is likely to press higher, but it will be in 2025 when we see the annual level become a grave issue. We may see a crisis in energy by March 2025 becoming obvious.


Glossary

Panic Cycle – Normally, a Panic Cycle is something that will exceed the previous high and penetrate the previous low. It will traditionally take out both previous session events. However, it can also be just an extreme move in one direction, which is often indicated by opening above the previous high or below the previous session low.

Canada Halts Digital Loonie


Posted originally on Sep 25, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

CBDC

Over 130 nations are attempting to create a digital currency as we move toward a cashless society. I recently explained how Australia is prioritizing a wholesale CBDC with a retail one to follow. The Bank of Canada recently shelved plans to create a digital Loonie, but rest assured this is a mere pause as the world will move to digitalization.

“The Bank has undertaken significant research towards understanding the implications of a retail central bank digital currency, including exploring the implications of a digital dollar on the economy and financial system, and the technological approaches to providing a digital form of public money that is secure and accessible,” the bank said in an email statement. The fact of the matter is that Canada simply could not determine how to execute a digital Loonie properly. The bank will now focus on “evolving” its payment system.

One aspect most nations are facing is that it would be easier, seamless even, if every developed nation agreed to go digital. But, more on that later.

Canada 50

The Bank of Canada released “The Role of Public Money in the Digital Age” in July 2024 to discuss the importance of creating a digital currency to “uniform money.” The central bank identified the following risks:

“Over that horizon, three interrelated and overlapping trends pose risks to the monetary system. First, the overall digitalization of the economy and financial system is increasing demand for digital payments. Second, due to the first trend and other conditions, use of cash has been declining at the point of sale for many years. The third trend is the emergence and proliferation of private cryptocurrencies and digital assets, including foreign CBDCs. These trends pose risks to the monetary system through three mechanisms: • increased potential that fragmentation of the monetary system could create inefficiencies • increased ability of issuers of private forms of money to exert market power • increased difficulty implementing timely and adequate regulation due to the rapid pace of change”

Unlike Australia, Canada sought to tackle retail immediately and stated cash was “no longer a viable payment option.”

The central bank recognized their legal right to have a monopoly over the money supply and noted that cryptocurrencies were threatening their overall power. Central banks DO NOT want people to use crypto as an alternative to their currency and will do everything to prevent it from happening. “When different forms of money (including alternative units of account) compete in a jurisdiction, users need to monitor both risks and exchange rates, and the resulting frictions provide scope for the issuers of these alternative forms of money to exert market power. Ultimately, these frictions and abuse of market power reduce the efficiency of the economy,” the report stated.

Now the central bank recognized it could not simply cancel the currency without public backlash. They fear that the public will use alternative payment methods, and so the plan was to slowly phase out physical money. “We do not suggest a “CBDC alone” approach. On the contrary, in the status quo policy, the availability of retail public money interplays with the evolution of the regulatory components of the monetary system to ensure their continued effectiveness.”

As I have stated countless times, money is whatever someone is willing to accept as payment, be it gold or seashells, as in ancient times. The public at large is not ready to accept a CBDC if they are presented with a choice. If Canada were to implement a digital Loonie, it would run the risk of people using other currencies or crypto to complete transactions.

IMF_Digital_Currency_to_Replace_the_Dollar

The bank said it will continue monitoring GLOBAL retail CBDC progress as all financial institutions await the moment when they can align their activities. This is why we see a heightened need for biometric data and digital identifications, which will one day tie into your financial accounts and you simply will not have a choice in digital or physical currency if paying on the grid.

Governments will become increasingly tyrannical as we move towards 2032 and the end of this private wave. The globalists’ ideal monetary system would entail one universal currency, similar to what the International Monetary Fund has been developing for years. Canada, an IMF member, has decided to await future global developments, but do not mistake this pause for a ceasefire in the war on cash.

Digital ID You will Beg For!

US Combined Capitol Hill 2022

QUESTION: You have said that this border crisis has been brought on to rig the 2024 election. How will this play out for the election?

SC

ANSWER: I do not see this ending well at all. It is one more ploy that will have society pleading for digital ID as the solution to this crisis. They will pitch the idea that had we had digital ID, this crisis would never have taken place. Europe is already planning this same biometric-digital ID. You have hospitals wanting to scan your palm and Amazon saying you can buy with just your palm being scanned.

This immigration crisis is clearly twofold. The Democrats instigated it, just as I have said that I encountered when trying to negotiate with Australia on behalf of Hong Kong. They are in a declining bear market, making lower highs and lower lows. They will collapse just as the Federalists did because they preach a big centralized government that always fails.

Deep State 1

That is what instigated the border crisis. Then you have the Deep State, which is paranoid like Joseph Stalin, and they want to track absolutely everyone, and that extends to the political beliefs and economic condition. Just as in 9/11, they love crises because they always use them to expand their power. As I have said, I know that the first World Trade Center terrorists drew the Twin Towers on the wall of their cell with planes going into them. They knew the plot and let it happen if they had not helped it along.

Zelensky_Pursue_Nuclear_Weapons_2 23 22

The very day before Russia crossed the border, they had Zelensky stand up and publicly state that Ukraine was going to rearm itself with nuclear weapons. He knew Russia was on the border and wanted to make sure they invaded.

Zelensky Did not warn people Washington Post 8 19 22

Zelensky admitted to the Washington Post that he knew when Russia would invade. He had that intelligence from the USA. His comment about seeking nuclear weapons the day before was to make sure Putin took the bait to start this entire war. He knew and was told to make sure Putin crossed the border.

Digital ID 2

The Border Crisis was instigated on the very first day Biden took office. This was to flood the country to influence the 2024 election. The Deep State did not organize this. However, they have seen the opportunity as they did with 911. The solution to the election crisis and the illegal aliens will be accelerated when we have domestic terrorism that they will blame on Chinese illegals, some 40,000 so far, who are here to destroy the USA. They have deliberately allowed terrorists into the country, and they will use this for war against China and to lock us down, as COVID was the dress rehearsal.

To be patriotic, you will surrender and agree to a Biometric Digital ID so they can filter out the terrorists. You will beg for the Biometric Digital ID; they always benefit from a good crisis. Those in the bowels of DC are paranoid like Stalin. They fear losing power, and everyone is a potential threat – We the People.

Capital 6 2021

The media does not wish to reveal why Pelosi delayed the National Guard on January 6th. They were concerned that most people in the National Guard were Trump supporters and feared they might be allowing a Trump army to take Washington, DC. Some Guardsmen were asked who they voted for. Simply put, the National Guard only shows up to D.C. when they’ve been invited, and the Capitol Police did not extend that invitation until after the breach, according to a source with knowledge of the process, who was not authorized to speak about it on the record according to the Military News.

2021 Pelosi Fence

Pelosi ordered the fence to be put up again in 2021 because there was a protest in support of the January 6th protesters.  The government is terrified of the people, and they know that their policies are creating tremendous discord that will unfold in the form of more civil unrest. This will most likely reach a boiling point regardless of who wins the election.

The damage that took place by the LEFT when Trump was inaugurated is an example of what we should expect. In fact, the City of Washington was sued by business owners because the police just let them do as they liked. The City had to pay $1.6 million is damages.

They intend to restrict traveling inside Europe, and Americans will need a Visa as of January 1st, 2025 to even visit, killing their tourist trade. The EU is frightened about revolution. They are well aware of the 1848 Revolution that swept Europe. It began in Sicily and engulfed all the countries, even overthrowing the French government. Their solution is to prevent people from traveling to cut off any possible widespread revolution. They will use climate change, and you will have a “carbon footprint,” and they will determine if you have traveled too much for the year.

Air Canada Y

They will do the same in the USA, all to retain power because they are scared to death of We the People. Most airline stocks peaked in 2020. Why? Most are showing high volatility by 2026. The markets are picking up this trend in airlines of many countries.

Ford Files Patent to Spy on Drivers


Posted Sep 18, 2024 By Martin Armstrong | 

Governments are pushing the public to switch to smart vehicles to reduce fossil fuel consumption, but there is also a second motive – surveillance.

This September, Ford filed a new patent to eavesdrop on riders. They plan to share this information with third-parties to personalize the advertisements riders hear. Ford will also take the driver’s destination into consideration to determine location-specific advertisements and suggestions. The technology will factor in the weather, traffic, and all external sensors to fine tune when and what to market to passengers.

Advertisements are perhaps the least ominous use of voice data based on the plans that these car manufacturers have. Car insurance rates in the United States spiked 26% in the past year, which is partly due to car manufacturers sharing ride data with insurance companies. Even older cars with basic features like OnStar have tracking devices that report your driving behavior to the manufacturers who share your data with insurance companies and, ultimately, the government. LexisNexis, which tracks drivers’ behaviors and compiles risk profiles, has been sharing individual data with General Motors, who passes that information along to the insurance companies. General Motors.

One driver demanded that LexisNexis send him his personal report, which was a 258-page document containing every trip he or his wife took in his vehicle over a six-month period. LexisNexis said that this data will be used “for insurers to use as one factor of many to create more personalized insurance coverage.” They even reported small issues such as hard breaking and rapid acceleration, according to the report. “I don’t know the definition of hard brake. My passenger’s head isn’t hitting the dash,” an unnamed Cadillac driver enrolled in the OnStar Smart Driver subscription service told reporters.

“Cars have microphones and people have all kinds of sensitive conversations in them. Cars have cameras that face inward and outward,” a researcher with Mozilla Foundation told the Los Angeles Times. In fact, 19 automakers in 2023 admitted that they have the ability to sell your personal data without notice. Law enforcement may subpoena these records as well.

Ford claims that the patent was submitted, but they do not necessarily plan to use the technology. “Submitting patent applications is a normal part of any strong business as the process protects new ideas and helps us build a robust portfolio of intellectual property. The ideas described within a patent application should not be viewed as an indication of our business or product plans. No matter what the patent application outlines, we will always put the customer first in the decision-making behind the development and marketing of new products and services,” Ford said in a statement released to MotorTrend.

Now, the US Department of Transportation is permitted to mandate that certain manufacturers provide them with vehicle data. Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Edward Markey of Massachusetts testified that all vehicles in the United States with a GPS or emergency call system are collecting travel data that car manufacturers have remote access to via the computer chips. The computer chips are compiling data on vehicle speed, movement, travel, and even using exterior sensors and cameras to record the vehicle’s location.

All of this violates the Fourth Amendment which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures without probable cause. These car manufacturers are surpassing what anyone would consider a reasonable expectation of privacy. Governments, third-party advertisement companies, and insurance companies all have warrantless access to personal data, and drivers are largely unaware they are being spied on. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act permits the government to have backdoor access to this data.

The aforementioned senators’ concerns fell on deaf ears at the Federal Trade Commission. The Department of Transportation clearly is not listed within the US Constitution. People are already experiencing stiff consequences from autos sharing data with the sharp uptick in insurance rates. Our freedom of movement is under attack. Our data has become more valuable than gold. The legal implications fall under a grey area as the Founding Fathers never expected their newly created government to turn against their own citizens.

Is Chuck Schumer Advocating for the Collapse of the USA?

Schummer NO KINGS Act2024_08_01_18_51_22_In_an_attempt_to_reverse_the_Supreme_Court_s_immunity_decision_Schumer_introduc

QUESTION: How can you say that Trump is above the law and should have immunity?

GH

ANSWER: That is a very nice argument put out by Chuck Schumer, who distorts the law for political gain. In Van de Kamp v. Goldstein, 555 U.S. 335, 129 S. Ct. 855 (2009), the Supreme Court held that when the prosecutor’s administrative functions are so closely related to the trial process, they are also protected by the prosecutor’s absolute immunity. Id. at 864-65 (focusing not on how the information was delivered, but instead on how it is maintained)

Chuck Schumer makes it sound like Trump is the only one with immunity. He is an outright liar and is only fueling civil unrest. Prosecutors and judges are ABSOLUTELY IMMUNED, but somehow the President has none? Schumer claims nobody should be above the law. Well, let’s start with the Judges and prosecutors or those in Congress. He wants to tear apart the Supreme Court to manipulate the law for his political agenda. The tyranny this man supports is what the American Revolution was all about.

When the history of this period is written, Schumer will go down as a major factor in destroying the United States and his role in fostering civil unrest.

YouTube CEO, Google Exec and Tip of Spear COVID Info Pusher, Susan Wojcicki Dead at 56


Posted originally on the CTH on August 11, 2024 | Sundance 

Be thankful that God has allowed you to see what is unfolding.  Others that remain asleep are not as lucky as you.  Ask yourself in prayer, why you. Why now?  Then, think about this daily.  Affirm your spirit and allow this sense of fortunate knowledge to elevate your faith and confidence in a loving and purposeful God.  You have the gift of discernment. Ultimately, you have been chosen.  Be thankful.

POLITICO – Susan Wojcicki, the former YouTube chief executive officer and longtime Google executive, has died, her husband said. She was 56.

“My beloved wife of 26 years and mother to our five children left us today after 2 years of living with non-small cell lung cancer,” Dennis Troper said in a social media post late Friday. (read more)

Susan Wojcicki, 56, was killed by rapid onset of lung cancer after being fully vaccinated and boosted. It was during her tenure that Google blocked any information about COVID-19, vaccinations or the virus origin that ran counter to the expressed opinions of those who run Google.

Susan Wojcicki, wife of Marco Troper, was a leading fellow traveler in the leftist control system.  The modern system of digital control exists in large measure because of Susan Wojcicki and the small group of people around her life.  She’s dead at 56, which is coincidentally the exact same age as Steve Jobs when he died.

.

Earlier this year, Susan Wojcicki’s 19-year-old son, Marco Troper, killed himself using a drug overdose.

Susan Wojcicki’s sister, Anne Wojcicki, co-founded the genetic testing company 23andMe which benefits from the COVID-19 testing database.

Susan Wojcicki’s husband is Dennis Troper, an ADL board member and key voice in the Google censorship complex. If you want to identify the key figure behind the demonetization of conservative content online, it would be Dennis Troper.

.

Be thankful that God has allowed you to see what is unfolding.  Others that remain asleep are not as lucky as you.  Ask yourself in prayer, why you. Why now?  Then, think about this daily in your quiet time.  Affirm your spirit and allow this sense of fortunate knowledge to elevate your faith and confidence in a loving and purposeful God.  You have the unique gift of discernment. Ultimately, you have been chosen.

Be thankful. Remember, Romans 13:12

Live a positive, affirming, purposeful and incredible life.

Within every battle, challenge and contest we encounter, always remember to be thankful and continue living your best life.

Court Rules Google is Monopoly Violating Sherman Antitrust Act


Posted originally on the CTH on August 6, 2024 | Sundance

After two years of pre-trial litigation, and a year of trial in front of U.S. District Judge Amit Mehtata, the court has determined that Google is factually a monopoly operation in the business of online search engine use and advertising. Google is violating section 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by running a monopoly business model.

The court highlighted the results of Judge Mehtata review in a 286-page opinion – SEE HERE. A key excerpt is provided below:

COURT RULING pdf – […] “Google has not achieved market dominance by happenstance. It has hired thousands of highly skilled engineers, innovated consistently, and made shrewd business decisions. The result is the industry’s highest quality search engine, which has earned Google the trust of hundreds of millions of daily users.

But Google also has a major, largely unseen advantage over its rivals: default distribution. Most users access a general search engine through a browser (like Apple’s Safari) or a search widget that comes preloaded on a mobile device. Those search access points are preset with a “default” search engine. The default is extremely valuable real estate.

Because many users simply stick to searching with the default, Google receives billions of queries every day through those access points. Google derives extraordinary volumes of user data from such searches. It then uses that information to improve search quality. Google so values such data that, absent a user-initiated change, it stores 18 months-worth of a user’s search history and activity.

The distribution agreements benefit Google in another important way. More users mean more advertisers, and more advertisers mean more revenues. As queries on Google have grown, so too has the amount it earns in advertising dollars. In 2014, Google booked nearly $47 billion in advertising revenue. By 2021, that number had increased more than three-fold to over $146 billion. Bing, by comparison, generated only a fraction of that amount—less than $12 billion in 2022.

For years, Google has secured default placements through distribution contracts. It has entered into such agreements with browser developers, mobile device manufacturers, and wireless carriers. These partners agree to install Google as the search engine that is delivered to the user right out of the box at key search access points.

Google pays huge sums to secure these preloaded defaults. Usually, the amount is calculated as a percentage of the advertising revenue that Google generates from queries run through the default search access points. This is known as “revenue share.” In 2021, those payments totaled more than $26 billion. That is nearly four times more than all of Google’s other search-specific costs combined.

In exchange for revenue share, Google not only receives default placement at the key search access points, but its partners also agree not to preload any other general search engine on the device. Thus, most devices in the United States come preloaded exclusively with Google. These distribution deals have forced Google’s rivals to find other ways to reach users.

Google’s dominance eventually attracted the attention of antitrust enforcers—the U.S. Department of Justice and nearly every state’s Attorney General. They homed in on Google’s distribution agreements and in late 2020 filed two separate lawsuits alleging that the agreements and certain other conduct violate Section 2 of the Sherman Act. According to their complaints, Google has unlawfully used the distribution agreements to thwart competition and maintain its monopoly in the market for general search services and in various online advertising markets.

The proceedings that followed have been remarkable. Discovery began in December 2020 and concluded in March 2023.

[…] After having carefully considered and weighed the witness testimony and evidence, the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly. It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.

Specifically, the court holds that (1) there are relevant product markets for general search services and general search text ads; (2) Google has monopoly power in those markets; (3) Google’s distribution agreements are exclusive and have anticompetitive effects; and (4) Google has not offered valid procompetitive justifications for those agreements. Importantly, the court also finds that Google has exercised its monopoly power by charging supracompetitive prices for general search text ads. That conduct has allowed Google to earn monopoly profits.” (read more

This is only one facet to the Google monopoly enterprise.  There are other lawsuits challenging the Advertising rules and regulations enforced by Google that block funds from online content providers.  Google is a leftist control operation, with comprehensive totalitarian alignment.

Don’t think that our U.S. Government is against this monopoly just because they were forced to respond to it with a lawsuit.  DHS and the IC love having a single control point they can exploit and compromise.  Monopolies are useful for the interests of the government who corrupts and utilizes them.

Within the Public/Private Technocracy system that Barack Obama helped to build between Big Tech and Government, they both collaborate on the benefits of singular power structures.  A pox on all of them!

MSM – Kent Walker, Google’s president of global affairs, said the company intends to appeal Mehta’s findings.

“This decision recognizes that Google offers the best search engine, but concludes that we shouldn’t be allowed to make it easily available,” Walker said.

For now, the decision vindicates antitrust regulators at the Justice Department, which filed its lawsuit nearly four years ago while Donald Trump was still president, and has been escalating it efforts to rein in Big Tech’s power during President Joe Biden’s administration.

“This victory against Google is an historic win for the American people,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland. “No company — no matter how large or influential — is above the law. The Justice Department will continue to vigorously enforce our antitrust laws.”

The case depicted Google as a technological bully that methodically has thwarted competition to protect a search engine that has become the centerpiece of a digital advertising machine that generated nearly $240 billion in revenue last year. Justice Department lawyers argued that Google’s monopoly enabled it to charge advertisers artificially high prices while also enjoying the luxury of not having to invest more time and money into improving the quality of its search engine — a lax approach that hurt consumers.

Google lost!

Good!

F**k Evil!
