Communists v Fascists


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Mar 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Martin:
I saw your comments on Europe today, and may have sent this to you before but can’t remember.
I have a tract in my office from the 1920s, written in English by the Italian Fascists. I’m going from memory here since I’m writing this from home, but basically, the tract says that the Fascists were much more intelligent than the Communists. The Communists wanted to destroy the economy first, then rebuild something from nothing. The Fascists were more intelligent, preferring to take control of the economy in partnership with both business and labor.

REPLY: I think that is an excellent distinction between the two. I have found it laughable that people were calling Trump Fascist when that would have meant he turned his companies over to be controlled by the government. This is the problem today. People are throwing around labels and have no idea what they really mean.

I stated before when I worked from an office in Philadelphia which was directly across from City Hall. The Occupy Wall Street protesters were there and as I left the office dressed in a suit and tie, one yelled at me “You Corporate Liberal” as if that was wrong. I just looked at him and had to laugh. What was a corporate liberal? Someone who gave the company money away? They were just merging labels with no idea of what they were even saying.

Communism is what these people are doing for they believe they must destroy the economy and then BUILD BACK BETTER, whereas fascists indeed seek only to take control of what is in place.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Launch Attack Against British Royal Family


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 8, 2021 | Sundance | 426 Comments

Rich entitled multi-millionaires launch an attack against rich entitled multi-billionaires while resting comfortably in a residence paid for by the benefactors they attack.

If I searched for 24 hours I doubt I could find a f**k for me to give them.  However, that said, these elitist pontificating silver-spoon weirdos must have an agenda to position themselves as a victim for some reason.  Most likely they are seeking relevance, personally and financially, by requesting sympathies from the ever-sensitive U.S. ‘fee-fee’ tribe.

Prince Harry literally does this while his grandfather Prince Phillip is on his death-bed.  What a self-indulgent @ss.

Oh, and President Trump was obviously correct…..

(VIA AP) – The implications for the interview — which was broadcast Sunday evening in the United States and will air in Britain on Monday night — are only beginning to be understood. Emily Nash, royal editor at Hello! Magazine, said the revelations had left her and many other viewers “shell-shocked.”

“I don’t see how the palace can ignore these allegations, they’re incredibly serious,” she said. “You have the racism allegations. Then you also have the claim that Meghan was not supported, and she sought help even from the HR team within the household and was told that she couldn’t seek help.”

The younger royals have made campaigning for support and awareness around mental health one of their priorities. But Harry said the royal family was completely unable to offer that support to its own members.

[…] The couple had faced severe criticism in the United Kingdom before the interview. Prince Philip, 99, is in a London hospital recovering from a heart procedure, and critics saw the decision to go forward as being a burden on the queen — even though CBS, rather than Harry and Meghan, dictated the timing of the broadcast.

Cue the Prescient Trump soundbite…

Is Europe Finished?


Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN Re-Posted Mar 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Well Marty, I guess you ever holding another WEC here in London will never happen. I feel like I am in prison.

GH

REPLY: Europe is totally in the hands of Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum which is pushing this new Global Marxist Takeover. I do not think I will ever see London again. These new laws of 10 years in prison for failing to reveal where you have been in Britain are just ruthless. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is imposing new border restrictions that could include systematic quarantine for all visitors from abroad and the use of localization and facial-recognition technology to check that people required to do so remain in isolation. I don’t think you will see American tourists watching the changing of the guard.

Meanwhile, in France, Macron is moving to impose a third lockdown with his communist medical experts and scientific government advisors demanding total lockdowns to further the total destruction of the European economy. Macron has called up 4,400 officers to enforce a 6 pm curfew in Paris amid compliance concerns.

Then Merkel in Germany said back in January that she was considering extending Germany’s lockdown until April in an effort to contain what she reportedly called the ‘British virus.’ Then on March 3rd, 2021, Germany extended its lockdown by three weeks until March 28th, yet claiming it would ease some restrictions to allow nonessential stores and other businesses to reopen in areas with relatively low infection rates.

Europe is finished. It is totally in the hands of the World Economic Forum. Forget tourism and all of this is being imposed deliberately to destroy the economy so they can BUILD BACK BETTER. You cannot rebuild anything until you destroy it. Curiously, they have always blamed Nero for burning down Rome so he could build his Golden Palace. It looks like this time it is Klaus Schwab who I predict history will NOT treat kindly when freedom to write returns.

Like the Euro, they never allowed the people to really vote on joining that currency in Germany. Kohl stated he acted like a dictator because he knew he would lose. This is the very same thing. They are using this virus to terrorize people so they can destroy the economy and then BUILD BACK BETTER – Green!

It certainly appears that the British pound is still very much at risk of making new historic lows into 2022. The destruction of the British economy is just astonishing. Johnson managed to create a drop in GDP of nearly 10% in 2020 – the worst decline in 300 years. He appears to be trying to do a better job this year with hopes of creating a 15% decline.

Meanwhile, in the United States, John Kerry is the Davosman, and Biden is signing executive order after order and has never made a single speech since taking office – no president has ever done this! This begs the question who is really running the government right now? This has been the greatest fear with Biden that he is not all there and Harris, with no international experience whatsoever, is going to take the role of international relations. The Deep State is in full control and Schwab seems to have at least a few strings into the White House.

Lin Wood Whistleblower Connects VERY IMPORTANT Dot on Deep State Surveillance and Rosenstein Activity With FBI To Compromise People


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 6, 2021 | Sundance | 539 Comments

Attorney Lin Wood has released an interview with a whistleblower [pdf here] who operated for years within part of the apparatus connected to Deep State surveillance.  While the focus is upon the activity of Rod Rosenstein and even Mike Pence as it relates to the Trump administration, there is part of the interview that connects to a much deeper aspect.  The testimonial connects a larger story if you know what to extract.

While I am still reviewing the overall content, within the first few pages of the interview this segment jumps out – BIG TIME:

The whistle-blower is describing his activity in Baltimore, Maryland, while working with then U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein.  At first review this part seems attributed only to attest the validity of the whistle-blower himself.  However, read carefully what he just stated while reminding yourself of the issue encountered by former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson.

Most people have forgotten that Sharyl Attkisson’s story originated with some unknown entity planting “classified material’ on her laptop, which she discovered and then independently had reviewed by forensic auditors.  Attkisson’s computer audit identified government intrusion into her computer system, which not coincidentally is exactly what the whistleblower is outlining in this segment of the testimonial.  Stay with me…

You might also remember that later on –early 2020- someone provided Attkisson with details and a tip about the intrusion.  That information then led to Ms. Attkisson refiling the lawsuit and, this is the important part…. Attkisson named Rod Rosenstein and Shawn Henry, a former FBI official in her follow-up lawsuit.  Shawn Henry was the former head of the FBI DC field office, who also became the head of Crowdstrike, a contracted intelligence gathering operation for the government and a politically connected data security and forensic company.

With the information from the Lin Wood whistle-blower, it appears the activity he is admitting to undertaking is in direct alignment with the computer intrusion and illegal compromise that Attkisson narrowly avoided.  All of the participants, and the identified corrupt activity, now merge.

The Lin Wood whistle-blower outlines how the Deep State was conducting electronic surveillance on political interests in order to compromise people.  Shawn Henry was the head of Crowstrike, a known FBI contractor with access to the NSA database as outlined in the 2016 admissions by NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers.  The database was compromised by FBI contractors conducting political surveillance.

Both the Lin Wood whistle-blower and the tipster to Sharyl Attkisson are noting that Rod Rosenstein was one of the organizers of the operations from his role as U.S. Attorney in Maryland.  Now all of the compromises are pictured, and all of the motives behind all of these players starts to make a lot more sense.

Here is the Lin Wood whistleblower testimony:

.

Now overlay: (1) what we previously know about the NSA database exploits; and (2) Sharyl Attkisson’s computer intrusion:

A very interesting development appeared early in 2020 amid the ongoing effort of former CBS investigative journalist, Sharyl Attkisson, to resolve the issue of who spied on her, planted spyware and infiltrated her computer systems for illegal surveillance. [Attkisson website here]

According to a 2020 court filing [Source Here] a person who was engaged in the “wrongful activity” has come forward to provide Ms. Attkisson with details about the operation. As a result of those whistle-blower revelations Attkisson is able to name specific individuals who were running the operation:


Former DOJ Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein is named as the person who was in charge of the operation; and the former head of the FBI DC field office, Shawn Henry is also outlined.

Mr. Henry is the head of Crowdstrike, a contractor for the government and a politically connected data security and forensic company. Those who have followed the aspects related to the FBI use of the NSA database to illegally monitor U.S. persons; and those who followed the DNC cover story of Russia “hacking”; will be familiar with Crowdstrike.

According to the updated lawsuit (full pdf below) Rod Rosenstein, as the U.S. Attorney for Maryland, was in charge of the Obama 2011 and 2012 operation to monitor journalists specific to Ms. Attkissons reporting on Fast-n-Furious and Benghazi.


What I find additionally interesting is the overall timeline in the bigger picture.

In the April 2017 release from FISC Judge Rosemary Collyer outlining the abuses of the FISA-702 process by FBI “contractors”, where the NSA database was being use for unlawful surveillance of U.S. persons, Collyer specifically noted the findings of her review of the period from November ’16 to May ’17 (85% non compliant rate) was likely to have been happening since 2012. [Go Deep]

The “IRS Scandal” were the DOJ was creating a list of U.S. persons for political targeting, and requested CD ROM’s of tax filings, was the lead-up to the 2012 exploitation of the NSA database. [The Secret Research Project] So there’s a larger picture of government surveillance under the Obama administration that becomes more clear.

Political spying 1.0 was actually the weaponization of the IRS. This is where the term “Secret Research Project” originated as a description from the Obama team. It involved the U.S. Department of Justice under Eric Holder and the FBI under Robert Mueller. It never made sense why Eric Holder requested over 1 million tax records via CD ROM, until overlaying the timeline of the FISA abuse:

The IRS sent the FBI “21 disks constituting a 1.1 million page database of information from 501(c)(4) tax exempt organizations, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” The transaction occurred in October 2010 (link)

Why disks? Why send a stack of DISKS to the DOJ and FBI when there’s a pre-existing financial crimes unit within the IRS. All of the evidence within this sketchy operation came directly to the surface in early spring 2012.

This is the same time-frame when DNI James Clapper falsely denied to congress about the U.S. government -through the NSA- collecting metadata on all U.S. electronic communication. This is the same time-frame where CIA Director John Brennan was monitoring the computer networks of congressional intelligence oversight staff.

When you overlay the new information from the Attkisson lawsuit, what emerges is the picture of an intentional effort by the Obama administration to weaponize the ability to collect electronic information on domestic political opposition. It’s one long continuum.

Here’s the new Attkisson lawsuit (using new information from a whistle-blower):

.

Within the lawsuit the DOJ inspector general (Michael Horowitz) is identified as adverse to the interests of the case. Meaning DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz was engaged in behavior to help the institution cover-up what independent computer forensic technicians were able to discover. Employees from the IG’s office also told Ms. Attkisson they had received instructions from the DC offices adverse to the interest of truthful discovery.

In addition to the institutional cover-up effort; it would be worth noting the then current DOJ and FBI officials, who were identified as holding corrupt motives, were still positioned at key offices. An example is FBI Supervisory Special Agent David Archey (Mueller Team) being promoted to head up the Virginia FBI field office.

Obviously the DC institutional swamp is very deep and very corrupt. Current and former politicians and federal officials who have engaged in corrupt behavior, or who have facilitated corrupt -potentially unlawful- surveillance activity, are still working within the system to avoid exposure.

Another example was Christine Blasey-Ford hoax facilitator and Andrew McCabe attorney, Michael Bromwich, being hired by corrupt Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx in an effort to protect herself from the outcome of the Jussie Smollett hoax in Chicago. Why does a Cook County, Illinois, State Attorney need to hire a DC-based lawyer?

It was obvious early on the Jussie Smollett hoax was connected to several members of the Obama team and network, the Smollett story directly connects to Kamala Harris. Michael Bromwich, who became Kim Foxx’s lawyer, is a former DOJ inspector general with ongoing direct contacts with corrupt DOJ and FBI officials inside the institutions. Chicago State Attorney Foxx hiring Bromwich is yet another example of DC managing the cover.

Suddenly all of the motives for all of these characters starts to merge with direct sunlight.

Whether it’s the identified weaponization of NSA databases to gain political leverage; or whether it was corrupt FBI officials covering for eachother and the DOJ ‘declining to prosecute’; or whether it was the need to put Rod Rosenstein into a position where he could cover for Deep State activity; or whether it was AG Bill Barr covering for the transparently corrupt former DAG Rod Rosenstein; or whether was the institutional need to hide DOJ scope memos given to Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller which initiated a false investigation (insurance policy) of a sitting United States President; or whether it is simply the need for the Obama crew to install an oblivious and cognitively impaired Biden so that Kamala Harris could continue the cover operation; one thing remains brutally obvious….

Let all of this settle in, contemplate it for a while, follow the dots and citations, and a very clear picture emerges that explains the motives all of these corrupt characters are carrying.

Everything reconciles.

Gospel

Jn 2:13-25

Since the Passover of the Jews was near,
Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves,
as well as the money changers seated there.
He made a whip out of cords
and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen,
and spilled the coins of the money changers
and overturned their tables,
and to those who sold doves he said,
“Take these out of here,
and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”
His disciples recalled the words of Scripture,
Zeal for your house will consume me.
At this the Jews answered and said to him,
“What sign can you show us for doing this?”
Jesus answered and said to them,
“Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.”
The Jews said,
“This temple has been under construction for forty-six years,
and you will raise it up in three days?”
But he was speaking about the temple of his body.
Therefore, when he was raised from the dead,
his disciples remembered that he had said this,
and they came to believe the Scripture
and the word Jesus had spoken.

While he was in Jerusalem for the feast of Passover,
many began to believe in his name
when they saw the signs he was doing.
But Jesus would not trust himself to them because he knew them all,
and did not need anyone to testify about human nature.
He himself understood it well.

Welcome to the New Age of Stalinism


Armstrong Economics Blog/BigTech Re-Posted Mar 5, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Welcome to the New Age of Stalinism. Children in East Germany were told that that state was their real parent, and if their biological parents spoke against the government, they should report them. The tyranny rising from BigTech in league with the far-left is really becoming frightening. Biden is going after all guns to compel people to register so he knows every person who has a gun so they can be targeted and relieved of their weapons regardless of the 2nd Amendment.

The First Amendment means nothing anymore, nor does Due Process of Law. Our courts have surrendered to tyranny, and they have canceled Justice Thomas because he is conservative, defending the Constitution. Suddenly, Justice Thomas being black is irrelevant. It is his thinking process that is dangerous to the LEFT and BigTech.

It is bad enough that BigTech has been out to cancel anyone they disagree with. Not only did they take down Donald Trump, but they have removed doctors coming out against the COVID fraud and even removed testimony of doctors before Congress which is a public record. If you testify before Congress and support their position, then that is OK for YouTube. If not, it is canceled. That is like a court that only allows the prosecutor to speak – defendants have no right to put on a defense and they call this freedom and America?

Anything anyone says against BigTech’s narrative is being canceled in an effort to impose their thinking upon the population. Those who resist, BigTech will assist in ensuring they will eventually be imprisoned or conveniently eliminated that is the next step in the way tyranny always unfolds. This, unfortunately, is the path they are taking which is a well-beaten path through history.

Now Bill Gates’ Microsoft is out to completely destroy the internet and impose his dream of total control as if his satellite network spying on everything worldwide is not enough. Microsoft has already teamed up with a number of tech and media companies to create a system of tracing content around the internet so they can target all dissent and impose Stalinistic indoctrination. Anyone who disagrees will be sent off to prison camps, probably under the pretense of some disease. BigTech has been drunk with power, and they are out for our blood. Tracking everything we search and selling that to advertisers was not enough. In their quest to destroy Donald Trump, they are now out to destroy everyone who voted for him by sheer intimidation to force compliance to their vision of a new world.

This is the highly dangerous tyranny we face — Democrats merger with BigTech to control everything and everyone. They are already handing them the world banking system. They loved the cancelation of Trump during the election. We are staring in the face of a Triumvirate with the Democrats in league with BigTech and the media to create a Stainistic world where they can force 100% compliance with their objectives.
