It could not be any more evident that the Biden Administration is allowing a full-scale invasion of the US from the southern border. Trump asked for around $4 billion to secure the US-Mexico border wall, a small fraction of what the US is now spending on maintaining the countless illegal aliens. New York alone estimates they will need $12 billion over the next three years. These people who entered America illegally cannot work, pay taxes, or contribute to our society in any meaningful way. Their only means of survival are government handouts. There is a reason that there was a PROCESS for legal immigration that those who desired a better future with a path to citizenship. Now you can be poor or a criminal on the run and decide to seek asylum in Biden’s America. All of the politicians who champion sending hundreds of billion to secure Ukraine’s border voted against securing the US border. Their concern was not money. It is now clear that there is no plan to solve the migrant crisis because it was a deliberate and calculated invasion promoted by the US government.
Online auction house GovPlanet, specializing in military equipment, announced that it had sold 81 lots of steel “square structural tubes” that were intended to secure the border wall. The NY Post reported that GovPlanet sold that “surplus” for $2 million. Then they sold 729 of those beams for a mere $212 per piece. They are losing money by selling these items for pennies on the dollar, but time is of the essence for Biden as Republicans are proposing new legislation to reimplement the project. Biden wants to ensure that the wall is never constructed and has decided to throw away millions in supplies to keep the border open to everyone and anyone.
All of these supplies were purchased with US taxpayers’ dollars. Trump was mocked relentlessly for requesting a few billion to prevent this absolute madness. Republicans are now proposing the Finish It Act to ensure the government uses the $300 million of remaining construction material to secure the wall. Biden halted construction on his first day in office when he was instructed to undo every barrier to the Build Back Better agenda. He appointed Kamala Harris as the border tzar and she never bothered to visit because it was of no concern. They knew the plan — open the borders and let masses of people utterly dependent on the government in AND allow them to vote so they can keep their free meal tickets coming. This is absolute treasonous behavior; our own president is encouraging a mass invasion on American soil. Yes, our very president is hell-bent on destroying the country in any way possible.
COMMENT #1: Mr. Martin; I read your private blog and your comment that “They stopped counting the votes halfway through and proclaimed Zelensky the winner, which was all rigged.” Nobody I know voted for Zelensky. He was installed by the West and the Oligarchs to wage war and fill their pockets with dollars. Even the Economist finally just reported: “Criticism of Volodymyr Zelensky, the president, has increased, and the reasons for the dissatisfaction are clear.”
You are the only person I have found in the West who reports the truth.
Thank you. It means a lot to us Ukrainians in the middle of this stupid war.
PZ
COMMENT #2: Hello Martin,
Zelensky and his wife visited Sweden today and our prime minister Ulf Kristersson announced the biggest economic support package in our history to a single country going to Ukraine. But it was not enough for Mr Zelensky. He kept asking for our fighter jets JAS Gripen. He just keep on begging for more and more for every country he visits.
They also announced that the swedish battle tank CV 90 are to be manufactured in Ukraine now!
And Mrs Zelenska visited a rehabilitation centre here in Stockholm for Ukrainians injured in the war. And Zelenska talked about how Ukraine needs to be handicap accessible because they are counting on 3-5 million war veterans after this!
Regards MS
COMMENT #3: Marty, they seriously think we are all stupid. Check this article on a Russian missile supposedly striking yet another Ukrainian theatre.
The picture of the fireball is from Lahaina and the aftermath showing the theatre reveals not a single scorch mark
Now, I was a career firefighter for 30 years, and that is some amazing building.
The attack on the X video appears to be fake and may be an example of AI generated video.
We are in deep trouble, because it is going to become increasingly difficult to distinguish between what is real and what isn’t
COMMENT #4: Martin I think you will find this story interesting. The other morning I was at the gym. Each day there is a group of Russians, and a couple of Ukrainians that work out. They are all approximately in their late 50’s to 60’s. They do their respective workouts, but they always talk amongst each other. The conversation with this group is always cordial. I know there can be hatred between the two, but I think we all know there are exceptions to everything. I think most people respect each other and leave it at that. I was nearby when for whatever reason they started talking about the war in English. The conversation was primarily about each other’s respective family members. They wanted to know if a parent, sibling, or cousin was doing fine along with any fresh news from the old country. One happened to mention a family member that was trying to leave. Either way, the conversation was going along fine when all of a sudden an American, whom I think is in his late 70s chimed in. He started out by providing his take on the situation which was mainly what is repeated on TV here. “I heard no one can get in or out of Ukraine because the government won’t let them and the Russians won’t either.” While I’m not sure where he possibly heard that their entire group shot back that wasn’t true citing the many people that fled here, Germany, and even Russia itself. They mentioned it was true many people left illegally if they could not navigate the government rules, but most people try going through the proper channels first. The group unanimously expressed it’s very difficult for the men to leave Ukraine which I think is obvious. Personally, I have a few friends with Ukranian family members that have fled here this past year so I know it’s possible. I also found out they get quite the care package brimming with preloaded debit cards, healthcare access, phones, and more. The migrants from the south get the same treatment too. But back to their conversation. One of the Russians chimed in by saying “Of course if you know the right people and have money you get anywhere you want. That’s universal and even applies in America” The whole group started laughing. That agitated the American a bit. So he tried changing the conversation direction slightly. He started to spew the standard pro-Zelensky, Russia is the aggressor, and Russia is on the ropes line. Then went into why Ukraine needs more weapons because Russia started the whole thing. Pretty much everything you would expect to be said by an American watching the nightly mainstream news. Well, the conversation went from smoldering to a rager. The Ukrainians AND the Russians all started shouting at him in disagreement over everything he said. In essence, they told him most of what he stated is not the entire story, or in some cases false. A comment that stuck out to me, which also made me laugh, came from the quietest in their group. “Don’t believe what you hear on CNN or Yahoo. It’s all BS. When you live through Communism you must learn how to read between the lines. You Americans haven’t lived through that long enough yet so you don’t know how to figure out what is really being said. You have that[communism] starting here and don’t even know it” Each one nodded in agreement. The American became defensive and told them they were full of it. He shook his head and waved his hands at them in disagreement. Not for a second did he ponder if there was any validity to their claim, nor did he seem interested in researching it further. The conversation essentially ended shortly after that. I know most of this is old news to you. Thanks for everything you do.
PS. My goal is to make 2023 the first year I attend the WEC either in person or virtual.

COMMENT #5: Happy days from Canadian broadcasting on these horrors.
However, you go to British institutions and we see comments like “The situation in Yellowknife is almost a lost cause”.
Amazing.
Comments on West Kelowna do happen to come from a BC Provincial Minister though who finally tells us what Al Jazeera mentioned last night.
Evacuations, both mandatory and “have your bag ready to go soon” rose to 70,000+. This close the Fort MacMurray disaster some years back.
How is it that these overseas outlets know more than Canadian ones??

COMMENT #6: Hello Martin, With the fourth indictment against Trump it appears that Fulton County is going to actually go through with making Trump take a mug shot as opposed to how the other jurisdictions have handled it by simply booking him without the mugshot. Do you think this could backfire politically? Obviously there are plenty of people who hate Trump and would love to see a mugshot of him but to me this seems like a mistake. Martin Luther King’s mugshot from the Birmingham jail didn’t hurt his cause like the segregationists thought it would, instead it made King more sympathetic to a wider audience. Could the same happen here? Might they be overplaying their hand? From Trump’s perspective there is a lot of good marketing and promotional material that could come of this. He could sell shirts with his mugshot and below it could say: “Wanted: For President in 2024” All the best from East Texas, Greg
COMMENT #7: You said – “The economy was strong before they attempted to BUILD BACK BETTER.” … and yet, that seems to be EXACTLY what’s going on in Maui right now. Funny how Maui was already tagged as a planned Smart City precinct by Klaus Schwab and Smeagol Harari and friends at the WEF. Not unlike the unprecedented floods and fires around and through the town of Lismore, NSW Australia, which happens to lie on a planned WEF Smart City corridor. And now the NSW government is hellbent on buying up ALL the property and getting those unwashed masses off of that land corridor. Who would have thought? If it’s any consolation, you’re preaching to the converted on this subject. Not that knowing what’s going on seems to be making any difference – seems to me the Fat Lady needs to get her fat butt out of the dressing room and start exercising her fat vocal chords. Just saying.

COMMENT #8: As a lawyer, I can definitely see you have specialized in constitutional law. We spend little time on that in school. We focus on statutory law. Your father would have been proud of your legal mind. A former staff member told me you have studied the laws of Asia and Europe in order to advise multinational companies. I think that shows in your writing.
PS: Thank you for explaining Shakespeare’s comment that the first thing we do is kill all the lawyers really meant prosecutors.

COMMENT #9: I realize why you have a Private Blog, Google cannot search it. Brilliant. Especially with your last post on the next pandemic. We really are at war with these people.
District Court Judge in Washington DC, Beryl Alaine Howell, is clearly out to get Trump and imprison him to interfere with the 2024 election. This person will most likely contribute to the separatist movement and the collapse of the United States. She was also the judge supervising the grand jury for special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Grand Jury proceedings are supposed to be secret. That did not matter to her.
On October 25, 2019, she bent over backward and ruled in favor of the House Judiciary Committee, seeking to impeach Trump by handing them the grand jury minutes. To pretend it was legal, she ruled that the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump was a judicial proceeding when Congress is not a judiciary. That violated the Separation of Power to transform Congress into the Judiciary constructively. She amended the Constitution of the United States without any such authority.
But in this newly unsealed document, not only did she deny President Trump any right to due process and to challenge the Twitter turnover order, which the DC Court of Appeals disgracefully upheld, but she also ordered Twitter to turn over the names of everyone who ever even click on a Trump post saying they liked it. This is so outrageous. She has violated everyone in the entire country of both Due Process of Law and their First Amendment Right to Free Speech. Allowing the government to now create lists of everyone in the country who clicked “like” with any of his posts that had nothing to do with the January 6th event is no longer a free country. Anyone who at any time clicked a like on any Twitter post by Trump has been prejudiced. Your civil rights have been flat outright violated. There should be a class action suit filed against her – NOW!
Howell should be impeached, as with every Court of Appeals Judge that upheld her. This is totally outrageous and NOT what anyone would expect from a non-Communist free democracy. Enough is enough. This is disgraceful, and civilization ONLY survives when the rule of law prevails. She is out to imprison Trump, and to think that this will not result in major civil unrest is just ludicrous. Our computer has been projecting massive civil unrest on the horizon.
Personally, it is now starting to come into focus how dangerously close we are flirting with the decline and fall of the United States. EVERY Republican prosecutor and judge will now see a green light to do the same to Democrats. This is all becoming insane! This is also how Rome fell – one general against another general. Postumus split the Roman Empire and issued this coin restorer of Gaul. They separated from Rome, which they, too, saw as corrupt and unable to defend all the people. I was wondering why the model pinpointed 2023 10 years in advance. I guess we now know.

Perhaps the mysterious “Peter the pedo” from the Hunter Biden laptop has just been discovered, as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer reveals the committee discovery of a pseudonym used by Joe Biden during emails with his son and business partners. [HOC Link Here]
Chairman Comer is now writing a strongly worded letter to the National Archives and Records Administration, tracing the documents backward, and asking NARA to provide unredacted copies of official government records from the office of the former Vice President.
With Robert L Peters defined as the secret pen name for Joe Biden, apparently Comer is hot on the trail.
WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today is calling on the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to provide then-Vice President Joe Biden’s records regarding his duties as Vice President that overlapped with his son’s activities in Ukraine. Chairman Comer is requesting all unredacted documents and communications in which then-Vice President Joe Biden used a pseudonym; Hunter Biden, Eric Schwerin, or Devon Archer is copied; and all drafts of then-Vice President Biden’s speech delivered to the Ukrainian Rada in December 2015.
“Joe Biden has stated there was ‘an absolute wall’ between his family’s foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family’s influence peddling. We already have evidence of then-Vice President Biden speaking, dining, and having coffee with his son’s foreign business associates. We also know that Hunter Biden and his associates were informed of then-Vice President Biden’s official government duties in countries where they had a financial interest. The National Archives must provide these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden family’s corruption,” said Chairman Comer. (read more)

Some economic data released by the land of the rising sun points to a larger global weakness in manufacturing demand. Within the data year-over-year exports from Japan fell in July by 0.3%, which is the first time since 2021 the contraction was noted.
Digging a little deeper, the weakness in Japanese exports is driven primarily by a decline in exports to China of 14.3% in July, which follows a 10.9% decline in June. Japan is a component supplier to China, which would indicate the demand for Chinese products globally is substantially less than Beijing has previously admitted.
That said, Japan’s direct export of finished goods to the U.S. actually increased 13.5%, mostly driven by the export of electric vehicles.
However, 13.5% is identical to the overall decrease in Japanese imports.
Essentially, component parts to China are down, but completed finished goods to the U.S. are up. Overall, the results from Japan point to a soft overall global economic status, the result of continued contraction of Western economic activity.
TOKYO, Aug 17 (Reuters) – Japan’s exports fell in July for the first time in nearly 2-1/2 years, dragged down by faltering demand for light oil and chip-making equipment, underlining concerns about a global recession as demand in key markets such as China weaken.
Japanese exports fell 0.3% in July year-on-year, Ministry of Finance (MOF) data showed on Thursday, compared with a 0.8% decrease expected by economists in a Reuters poll. It followed a 1.5% rise in the previous month.
[…] Japanese policymakers are counting on exports to shore up the world’s No. 3 economy and pick up the slack in private consumption that has suffered due to rising prices.
However, the spectre of a sharper global slowdown and faltering growth in Japan’s major market China have raised concerns about the outlook.
The World Bank has warned that higher interest rates and tighter credit will take a bigger toll on global growth in 2024. (read more)
Meanwhile, I would not bet against Michael Burry.
Burry is betting against the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 this week, according to his fund’s latest releases. Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The filing shows that he is now holding options against the S&P 500, hedging $886.6 million against the index.
The filing also revealed that Burry sold his shares in Capitol One, First Republic, PacWest Bancorp, Wells Fargo and Western Alliance after betting on them earlier this year in Trying to make money from the regional banking crisis. Burry also sold his stakes in Chinese e-commerce giants Alibaba and JD.com.
In addition, he bought $738.8 million in put options against the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF – a fund made up of popular high-tech Nasdaq companies, such as big tech companies Apple and Microsoft as well as Nvidia, Tesla and PepsiCo.
Burry has pulled money out of China investments and U.S. banks and is hedging against tech and the S&P. He took these positions before the data from Japanese exports to China was released.
Two weeks to slow the spread was simply not enough time for the elite to steal as much power and wealth as possible. OpenTheBooks recently revealed over 1,500 records showing those at the head of the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases quietly profited from COVID-19 and their recommendations to “slow the spread.” Two faces of the pandemic propaganda, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins secured 58 royalty payments out of a total of $325 million in royalties set aside for the NIH.
Sen. Rand Paul confronted Fauci for accepting bribes in June 2022. “The NIH continues to refuse to voluntarily divulge the names of scientists who receive royalties and from which companies over the period of time from 2010 to 2016, 27,000 royalty payments were paid to 1800 NIH employees,” Rand Paul said. “We know that. Not because you told us, but because we forced you to tell us through the Freedom of Information Act. Fauci refused to answer the senator or admit if he received and royalty payout for his voluntary work.
Paul dug deeper, “Here’s what I want to know. It’s not just about you, everybody on the vaccine committee, have any of them ever received money from the people who make vaccines?” Paul asked. “Can you tell me that? Can you tell me if anybody on the vaccine approval committees ever receive any money from people?” Fauci claimed that he was not legally required to admit to receiving payments. “First of all, according to the regulations, people who receive royalties are not required to divulge them, even on their financial statement, according to the Bayh-Dole act,” Fauci told Paul. Fauci took it a step further and said that the only royalties he received were for his lab. “My royalties ranged from $21 a year to $700 a year. And the average per year was $191 and 46 cents,” the doctor insisted.
We know that Fauci was lying about receiving kickbacks. Santa Cruz Biotechnology, a company that produces medical research instruments, paid Fauci 15 times. Ancell Corp. sent Fauci 14 separate payments. Chiron Corp., later bought by Novartis in 2006, paid Fauci on eight occasions. On top of all of these payments, Fauci became the highest-paid government worker in America in 2022, with an annual salary of $480,000.
Clearly, this man was unable to make unbiased decisions when Big Pharma was lining his pockets throughout the entire pandemic. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) found 34 Chinese entities were among the agencies paying off American “scientists.” Pokrov Biologics Plant, a Russian-based animal vaccine manufacturer that is said to be a front for bioweapon production, also paid off NIH scientists. Fauci claimed he would donate all of his royalties to charity but that too seems to be a lie. The people at the top profited from our pain and prioritized profits over the people.
I reported in April that Oregon’s Department of Human Servicesannounced it would prevent some Christian families from adopting children due to their “extreme views.” Potential adopters now receive an ideological litmus test to ensure that parents adhere to the woke agenda and will agree to let their child transition to any gender at whim.
Planned Parenthood performed 374,155 abortions last year, amounting to 1,200 abortions per day. The same organization is also funding gender-affirming care for the youth. Only 1,803 women placed their babies up for adoption last year, and it is notoriously hard to adopt in America. These agencies are profiting on selling children to parents and do not prioritize the well-being of the children. The woke ideology must be at the forefront.
Massachusetts has joined Oregon in preventing Christians and other religious couples from providing homes to children. One couple from Massachusetts has taken the Commonwealth to court (Burke v Walsh) after they were denied the right to foster at-risk children. Mike and Kitty Burke were deemed unfit caregivers solely because they believe in the Catholic faith. “After months of interviews and training, and after years of heartbreak, we were on the verge of finally becoming parents,” said Mike and Kitty Burke. “We were absolutely devastated to learn that Massachusetts would rather children sleep in the hallways of hospitals than let us welcome children in need into our home.”
The Department of Children and Families (DCF) admits that they have 1,500 children displaced children awaiting forever homes. The state has no room to house these poor children temporarily and has resorted to leaving these vulnerable children in state hospitals for weeks at a time. The Burke family wanted to welcome at least one child into their home. “Their faith is not supportive,” the social worker deemed, citing their views on gender dysphoria and sexual orientation. Perhaps the state of Massachusetts will allow the Burke family to foster a migrant military-aged adult male since that is of top priority. The entire woke agenda is hurting thousands of children, and we must begin to question why we are permitting this blatant religious discrimination to occur.
COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, You are so right about this country being totally screwed. I dated a girl three times. Everything seemed OK. We had similar goals and interests. Then I mentioned the Trump indictment. Suddenly, she just said, oh, you are a Trump supporter. The conversation turned cold, and suddenly, I saw a look of hatred in her eyes. It is an understatement to say I got the check, and that was it. I asked her about war and Biden’s Crime Family. The war was justified because Putin supported Trump. As for the Biden Crime Family, that was a right-wing conspiracy theory. There was nothing left to talk about.
I cannot say enough. Socrates has pegged our future correctly. There was no talking to her, even on a polite level. I do not see how this country can stand as one. We are too far gone. There is no basis for the compromise of you to leave me alone, and I leave you alone. They really do not tolerate even our existence. We have no right to disagree.
I just had to say my experience firsthand.

REPLY: Perhaps you should lead with that – state your political belief FIRST. That appears to be the #1 criterion for dating anymore.
The media has spun such hatred. They think this is like a football game. They score a goal and win. This is real life. What they have done to America is no different from what they did to the Jews in Germany. They had their Kristallnacht, and we will see the same outcome here—wait for the 2024 election. Human nature can turn really violent.
