Anyone who believes Democrats own exclusive opposition to Donald Trump are completely ignoring the deliberate construct of the 2015/2016 republican primary. There are just as many -if not more- na…

Pharmaceutical Corruption

Re-Posted Jan 18, 2017 by Martin Armstrong
Here is the latest example of corrupt politicians voting in favor of their own self-interests. Bernie Sanders may be a bit fanatical, yet he has been trying to push a bill through to allow Canada and other countries to import prescription drugs to the U.S., which would significantly decrease the price that consumers have to pay for medication.
Trump commented that the big pharmaceutical companies “get away with murder,” and even Republicans Ted Cruz, John McCain, and Rand Paul voted in favor of the bill. Yet, 13 Democrats blocked the bill from passing. Those same Democrats receive large payouts from the pharmaceutical companies. The list even includes Cory Booker — the next rising darling of the Democrats. This is why we MUST impose term limits – one time and out.
The Coming Referendum in Turkey to Consolidate More Power for Erdoğan

Re-Posted Jan 17, 2017 by Martin Armstrong
A constitutional referendum is planned to be held in Turkey in in the Spring of 2017. A survey is showing that the people are not really in favor of handing endless power to the President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Voters are expected to decide on amending 18 articles of the Constitution of Turkey. The amendments have been the established policy of the governing Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and its founder President Erdoğan. The amendments are to now include the introduction of an executive presidency that would replace the existing parliamentary system of government. Erdoğan want to abolition of the Office of the Prime Minister and assume more of a dictatorial position. He also intends to reform to the Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors.
Erdoğan launched a purge of all the pro-US elements in Turkey and sold off his US holding of US bonds. True, this was in part to try to support the failing lira. But Erdoğan agenda is far from one of really merging with Europe or the USA. He has been crazy to the point of demanding punishment because of comments of TV people of Turkey in Germany. He has been very intolerant of criticism internationally. The coup, which is highly doubtful was real, appears more to be a purge of anyone who disagreed with him and might rise up in the future.
Turkey must also be on the watch list during 2017 – the Year from Political Hell.

I still believe that George Soros is extremely dangerous with his ideas of Open Society. Hungary’s vice chairman of the ruling Fidesz party, Szilard Nemeth said that all operations funded by Soros and his Open Society Foundation should be banned from operating in Hungary. Nemeth said at a news conference that Soros and his operations were “pushing global big capital and a related political correctness into Hungary.” Nemeth elaborated:
“These organizations must be pushed back with all available tools, and I think they must be swept out, and now I believe the international conditions are right for this with the election of the new president [Donald Trump].”
Soros is highly dangerous. His funding of Hillary Clinton knowing what she stands for really revealed how dangerous this guy has become. His Open Society Foundation really undermines our basic liberties. He donated $7 million to Hillary and previously funded Obama against Hillary.

‘Carter got wrong country when he said Russia had done zero in Syria’ – Russian Defense Ministry
Obama was actively supporting any group that would topple a non-theocratic regime and when the they succeeded The power vacuum created havoc e.g. The Arab Spring. There was no good reason to try and topple Syria as they were a client state of Russia and Russia had no choice but to protect Assad. So since the US CIA was arming the good rebels (actually ISIS) that meant the only Russia was fighting ISIS as the US was only doing token military strikes against ISIS.

Germany’s Misreading of Economic History is the Doom of the EU

Re-Posted Jan 10, 2017 by Martin Armstrong
Angela Merkel and her party remain clueless about the economic history of Germany which has been made apparent through her insistence upon austerity that tearing the EU apart at the seams. This is like blaming Trump for Hillary’s loss. Merkel’s belief that the quantity of money is the cause of inflation has been proven dead wrong after the central bank’s quantitative easing since 2008 has had no impact on inflation for the past 8 years. At what point does one admit error? Never?
German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel told Der Spiegel magazine that the breakup of the EU is no longer unthinkable because of Merkel’s desperate clinging to austerity. He asked Merkel ,”[W]hat would be more costly for Germany: for France to be allowed to have half a percentage point more deficit, or for Marine Le Pen to become president?” He is still waiting for Merkel to answer that question.
Her economic policies of austerity have sent Europe into an economic depression, and opening arms to refugees has sent Europe into a terrorist crisis. One has to ask, just how long can Europe endure this person who is dictating policy to the rest of Europe?
