With Biden/Hur Tapes Released the Question is, Who Was Running the Country?


Posted originally on CTH on May 17, 2025 | Sundance

Axios obtained the audio of former President Biden’s October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur. In the first segment below, recorded on the first day of interviews, former President Biden was questioned about where he kept documents. Biden had difficulty recalling that it was 2015 when his son Beau died. Biden also shared that President Obama discouraged him from running for president.

The interview tapes reveal the scope of cognitive decline the control agents around Joe Biden were trying to keep hidden from the country. As the tapes reveal, Joe Biden was not in any capacity to be in office. The question remains, who was running the country? Listen:

Biden’s mental capacity was severely compromised.  It is obvious everyone around him knew the problem.  We all saw it even before he took office and the answer to the question is the same today as we discussed in 2020, 2021 and beyond.  These tapes only confirm what we already knew.

The State Dept was being run by Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland and Samantha Power.  The Clinton and Obama networks, along with their allies in congress and in various political organizations, were being paid and financed through various NGOs and stood up non-profits organized by the beneficiaries of the funding.  All of those connections were revealed by the DOGE audits of USAID and other agencies.

Keep in mind that Susan Rice was part of the White House network up to the day Biden announced his intent to run again in 2024; so, she obviously knew his mental state.  Others in the White House, again part of the Obama and Clinton networks were running the day-to-day operations.  Biden was a figurehead, an avatar for the handlers operating in the background.

The DOJ, Main Justice and the FBI were being run by Lisa Monaco, again an Obama operative.  The job at Main Justice was to use their Lawfare strategy to protect the fake and corrupt administration, keep everyone in line and attack all of their political opposition.

Obviously, Jill Biden was/is a power-hungry enabler for the entire dynamic.  Sick and twisted people operate like this.  Think of all the COVID-19 nonsense this crew carried out in 2021 and 2022, including the vaccine mandate and all of the authoritarian rules that came with the “Biden” COVID response stuff.  These are sick people.

Congress, both parties, knew all of this.  In fact, the entire Washington DC system was well aware of the cognitive state of mind behind the false presidency.  Biden wasn’t in control of anything – that’s transparently obvious when you listen to the tapes.

The media covered for all of it.  They all knew, yet they attacked anyone who dared question the obvious. There is no one associated with the preceding four or five years around the 2020 campaign and administration that followed who did not know of the mental issues.  Additionally, they all knew who was running things and they lied to the American people because these are power-hungry psychopaths.

.

.

There are not enough words to listen to these tapes and express the level of disgust that comes to mind.

The damage done to our country is horrific.  However, at the end of that review we must remember all of the economic pain and suffering that accompanied the anxiety the handlers of Joe Biden willfully delivered to our nation.

These people are sick!

Biden Directed Funds to Afghanistan over 9/11 Victims


Posted May 16, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Taliban

The Taliban has been promoting the Afghan currency by auctioning off dollars. How is a known terrorist group obtaining USD? The United Nations has sent billions to the Taliban in recent years to support its central bank, with much of those funds being approved and sent by the United States. Worse, the Biden Administration confiscated $3.5 billion in funding from a fund designated for 9/11 survivors to pay the Taliban.

The Taliban has also auctioned off the billions in weapons that the United States left behind after the former commander in chief ordered an immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. It is estimated that $7 billion in equipment was left behind, yet Biden blames Afghan authorities for allowing the Taliban to take over.

As for the funds stolen from the 9/11 fund, it originated when families who lost loved ones to the 9/11 attacks sued Al Qaeda, Iran, and the Taliban. No one expected any party to pay, but since Afghanistan had $7 billion in assets within the US, the court permitted it to be seized. This money was initially intended to support the families of 9/11 victims.

911

The government was quick to seize and redistribute Russian assets, but the last administration was hesitant to seize assets from known enemies. The US government began freezing Russian assets in February 2022, which is also when Biden decided to unfreeze $7 billion in assets from Afghanistan. Biden signed an executive order that determined the $7 billion would be placed in a trust fund—half would be sent to families of victims, while the other half would be used for humanitarian aid for Afghans.

A day later, the Biden Administration decided that the 9/11 families did not deserve the payout and sent it back into the court system. He did, however, ensure that the other $3.5 billion was sent to Afghanistan. Former Secretary of State Blinken, a notorious neocon, feigned concern for the families while saying that the victims “should have a full opportunity to set forth their arguments in court.” He later announced that seizing funds from the central bank would harm US interests in the Middle East.

Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn ruled against the 9/11 families. Netburn ruled that the Afghanistan bank (Da Afghanistan Bank, DAB) had “sovereign immunity” as the nation was not sanctioned; only the Taliban, who happened to be ruling the nation, were sanctioned. Biden declined to declare Afghanistan a state sponsor of terrorism, providing them with immunity.

“Absent action by us, these funds were likely to be tied up in courts for years, while the action we have taken stands the best chance of more quickly freeing up a large portion for humanitarian support,” a White House official said after “activists” complained that it was unjust to seize funds. Former Treasury Secretary Yellen approved of sending aid to Afghanistan through the United Nations.

The investigation into USAID found billions funneled to terrorist organizations like the Taliban through the UN and NGOs. Biden was the only president to decline an invitation to the annual 9/11 memorial. Biden’s incompetence left 10,000 Americans behind. Few know that he authorized frozen funds to be redistributed back to Afghanistan while it was under the control of a terrorist organization.

I met with the Afghan government on neutral ground in Thailand many years ago. I was invited to give lectures there, but just never found the time to make that trip. As I have said before, most governments have heard of Socrates. After all, it has been putting out economic and geopolitical forecasts since 1977. From my discussions with them in Thailand, what I can say is that the Taliban are largely self-funded, yet have been warmly protected by Pakistan, which is the ONLY nuclear nation in that region. Pakistan has supported the Taliban, not for religious agreement, but because of their enemy, the Afghans, who were friends with Pakistan’s enemy, India. In that sense, there is a deep-seated religious conflict that goes back to the creation of Pakistan in 1947. China supports Pakistan and has announced it will continue to support Pakistan during its battle with India.

The peak in our model on the region took place in 2019 when any hope of some sort of peace treaty with the Taliban collapsed. Military operations between Afghan and US government forces and the Taliban then intensified in 2019, resulting in more than 8,000 civilian casualties. That was precisely on target, being 72 years from 1947, which was the real period of the rise in militant Islam. A standard 2-year reaction was in play, which has brought us to this point in 2021. But this is the start of a 13-year cycle of rising tensions, which will also peak in 2032.

Are all the Leaders on Cocaine & That’s Why They are Pushing for WWIII?


Posted originally on May 15, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

This video is all over the place. I even went to my local doctor for the routine checkup, and she was from Serbia. She immediately brought this up. What I will say is this. One of my sources in Ukraine, whom I believe Zelensky had murdered to silence him, was Gonzalo Lira. He told me years ago that Zelensky was a cocaine user.  I have also heard similar stories about Macron, but I never sought to actually go to find proof. I tended to avoid such stories, for no matter what proof you dug up, they would still call it a conspiracy theory or Russian propaganda, like Hunter Biden’s laptop. I suppose it must have been Putin who stashed the cocaine in the White House, which they never bothered to investigate.

Zelensky Pants on Backwards

Here is Zelensky with his pants on backwards. You have to have been high on cocaine to do that. Never in my entire life have I ever put my paints on backwards. There is no way you don’t notice that unless you are way out there. How Stamer doesn’t tell him calls into question Stamer as well.

ECM Ukraine 8.6 R

Zelenskyy said Tuesday that “if Putin does not arrive and plays games, it is the final point that he does not want to end the war.” Europe wants war very badly, and these three leaders are probably using cocaine, which would explain their disregard for human life. I find it remarkable that this “peace” meeting in Turkey will be on the 15th, precisely the turning point on the ECM based on the war.

Looking at our computer models and the unbelievable number of markets that have Panic Cycles in 2026, I do not see how peace will be the outcome. Putin is not stupid. Any ceasefire is just Minsk all over again. Europe is pushing very hard to prepare for war.

Leyen Ursula von der

In 2005, Ursula von der Leyen was appointed Federal Minister of Family Affairs and Youth in the cabinet of Angela Merkel. Then she became Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, 2009–2013, then Minister of Defence, 2013–2019. She then became the President of the European Commission in 2019. This is crony politics. Ursula has ZERO qualifications and moves from job to job, where people tell their children they need a college degree, unless you are a politician. Then you are qualified to be anything, for experience is not necessary. If you need surgery, just ask the Uber driver if he has a nice smile and is free on the weekend.

Ursula to Steal Russian Assets

Now, Ursula is robbing Russia and violating every fundamental principle of international law. This is why Japan, China, and other foreign nations are dumping European debt. There is no rule of law in Europe whatsoever. Five officials briefed on the ongoing discussions told the Financial Times that the European Commission has said national capitals that a large portion of the sanctions, including €200bn in frozen Russian state assets, could be moved on to a different legal basis to circumvent Budapest’s veto just like they send troops in but call then advisors or peace-keepers rather than military invasion or support.

The EU has no intention of peace with Europe. They have used Ukraine as their vanguard, and they really do not care if one Ukrainian is still standing at the end of this as long as they take one Russian with them. The EU is engaging in a war of conquest. They pretend Russia wants to invade Europe, but they have nothing. There are NO natural resources and no profit to be had. However, Europe sees Russia as its ticket to ride. Conquer Russia and they get $75 trillion in assets, which is twice the size of the USA, and they will because the leaders of the world. It must be the cocaine that is feeding this delusion.

Cokehead

We still see the prospect of a major war by 2027. With cokeheads running the governments of Europe, this insane quest to push for war is not going to end well for Europe. We still see 2027 as a critical period where we can see World War III.

New York Inflation Refund Checks


Posted originally on May 15, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

NYC 2

Governor Kathy Hochul is up for re-election next year, and she’s prepared to throw state revenue at potential voters. New York is introducing the first “inflation refund check,” which will provide over 8.2 million state residents with a cash payout.

“Starting in October, over 8 million New Yorkers will get an inflation refund because it’s simple — this is your money and we’re putting it back in your pockets,” Hochul said in a statement. Hochul claims low and middle-income households will benefit from these checks, which she had already allotted in the state budget for FY 2026. Payouts will be $200 for single filers making up to $75,000 and up to $400 for joint filers making up to $150,00. This is reminiscent of the stimulus checks sent out during the coronavirus pandemic, although the threshold was not adjusted for inflation.

How did New York raise the state budget? By raising taxes on EVERYONE. The local sales tax went up again from 4.25% to 4.375% this March. The Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD) payroll tax will rise this July, penalizing businesses for existing within the confines of the city. Merely driving in NYC is a costly process thanks to those in charge.

NYC Tax

Personal income tax accounts for most of New York’s budget, which has increased in recent years and ranges from 4% to 10.9%. New Yorkers are also required to pay local income taxes in addition to the state tax. Suffolk County recently raised its local tax from 4.25% to 4.35%, so even if you are making minimum wage, you are expected to give 8.75% of your take-home pay to New York.

New York State’s FY 2025 budget anticipates a deficit of $13.9 billion, an improvement from last year’s forecast of $27.1 billion. Analysts predict that spending will continue to outpace revenue in the coming years, with the structural imbalance for FY 2028 at an optimistic $15.6 billion.

The state and local governments will continue to raise taxes and implement new ones. Politicians bank on the general population’s stupidity. They’ve increased the cost of living through taxation, but expect the people to believe that they’re concerned about inflation when their policies are inflationary. They’re telling the public that they’ve strategically set aside the money in the budget as if they have $2 billion to spend on this ridiculous program.
