Reaching September-October


Armstrong Economics Blog/Forecasts Re-Posted Sep 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty, we have reached the next target on your model from September to October. This indeed seems to be getting very dark. Any comments?

ANSWER: When we look behind the curtain, the resistance is forming. Brazil has told Pfizer they will not mandate vaccines unless Pfizer takes responsibility for all claims, which they refuse. In Britain, they had to back off of the COVID Passport. When people looked, their COVID Passport had nothing to do with getting the vaccine. Everything about you was to be recorded. The resistance was building, and the government had to back off.

Canadians threw rocks at Trudeau, and due to the lack of support, he could not even get off the bus. I have been warning the dark side of what has been behind the curtain. But I have also been warning that their window of opportunity was closing as we enter 2022. They will not succeed and indeed the resistance is building.

They are trying once again to crash the economy as they did in March 2020 but it failed. They have attempted to create a Great Depression in order to eliminate all resistance and people will then agree to surrender all their rights just to get safety. They are trying to crash the markets once more all for political purposes. Government debt is worthless and they are unable to continue borrowing endlessly. This is about ending the financial system as we have known it to create the Great Reset. As one reader commented, “Sorry to hear what they did to you, but it proves that you forced HSBC to return the money to your clients and to plead guilty criminally as they always do. Now we know you are not one of them.”

When I did the 2011 WEC in Philadelphia, I was shocked at how many people flew in from around the world. When I asked, “Why did you come?” The answer I was getting was “I wanted to see it was really you!” Apparently, people were concerned the government could just publish using my name, so they wanted to make sure it was really me. That showed how much people no longer trust the government. They are especially suspicious of the mainstream press and the wonderland of New York City.

Is South America Turning Anti-Marxist?


Armstrong Economics Blog/South America Re-Posted Sep 13, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

It seems like we are in a period where everyone just moves in the opposite direction of what they have been. Where Klaus Schwab says you will own nothing and be happy,  those in the former communist states of China and Russia never saw it that way. Ironically, the land that is becoming more free compared to this attempt to redesign the world in the image of Schwab’s dreams, are the very places that Marxism was embraced.

The fake news was predicting that Brazil’s September 7th Independence Day, was going to be marked by widespread violence and even a January-6-style assault on federal buildings. This was all going to be led by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and his followers who are against the Great Reset. There were protests throughout Brazil, but they were generally peaceful, with few to no reports of violence. The Great Reset crowd was not successful in overthrowing Bolsonaro, which by the way he has rejected Pfizer telling them he will not mandate any vaccine or even encourage them when Pfizer refuses any responsibility for any harm it causes people.

In Argentina, the youth are finally waking up and voting conservative abandoning Marxism that has burned the nation and has never worked. The youth are not crying for Argentina. They are starting to rebel against the socialistic government that has never really helped the people and has suppressed the nation that was once an economic jewel. Last year, a reader from Argentina wrote: “Our government here in Argentina has told us we should expect more poverty and there is no hope for the future. ”

What is clearly very interesting is how our computer is pointing to October and February which is showing up on so many economies around the world. It appears that the world is being confronted by this COVID issue and it is coming to important events that will impact the entire world.

The Next US Civil War

COMMENT: Marty,

You have been right about everything! This nightmare has unfolded exactly as you said it would globally not just here in the USA and nobody listened. I have attended many WEC’s and I’m so grateful for you and your staff. This feels hopeless. Is it time to leave the US? Where to? I’m not taking this shot and like many others. My family and I stand to lose everything because of these policies.

Be well and I’m looking forward to the WEC in November!

Cheers!

REPLY: That is a very important question and it will be at the top of the list of topics we will address in addition to 2022, 2024, and 2032. We are facing a GLOBAL separatist movement that is not confined to just the United States. Everywhere from North America to Europe and Asia there are signs of tremendous stress that are unfolding along historic lines of separation.

I have been shaking every tree to try to ascertain what is in this vaccine that has governments so damn insistent that everyone must be vaccinated for a disease that has a mortality rate of less than 1% and it is typically the same people who die of the flu/pneumonia. I do not believe that those in government think that everyone who takes the vaccine will die in 2 to 3 years. They seem to believe that this is a way to control people.

Nonetheless, the real problem here is that these vaccines may not be all the same. There are people who have had a magnet stick to the place they got the shot and others it does not. Why? Some believe that there are differences in the vaccines and Gates is behind that to thin the herd. Nothing can be confirmed. It is all wild rumor. What I do not like is that the politicians have been bought all because they have totally screwed up the world financial system by borrowing endlessly with no intention of paying anything back.

All I can attest to is the stupidity of those in power and they have refused to reform or relinquish the slightest amount of power. The solution is always more power and this COVID scam appears to be more of a power grab and they intend to use the vaccine as the excuse to create internment camps to imprison those who resist their authority.

The fence is going back up out of fear of protests. Yes, Pelosi’s Fortress is becoming more permanent showing they know what they are doing is wrong. We can see what is unfolding in the land of the free that is no longer free. The troops will have loaded weapons that were banned after the Kent State killing of students. The rumor is that the troops are to be screened and if they voted for Trump they will be dismissed. They do not want any “Republicans” to have a gun inside the fence. That says it all.

I can also attest that we are looked down upon as animals. They have no intention of listening to us and as for constitutional rights, they do not consider that we have any. Now, if you are charged with any sort of a crime, they are also stripping you of your right to vote. Welcome to waking up for you are the Great Unwashed. As they say:

Power corrupts, but ultimate power corrupts Everything!

Kroger CFO Notes More and Faster Food Inflation Coming in Next Several Months


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 12, 2021 | Sundance | 78 Comments

This is not a surprise data-point for readers here.  However, it is good to see honest statements from corporate executives on what to expect with food inflation.

As noted by Kroger Chief Financial Officer Gary Millerchip in a call with financial media, we can expect to see even more rapid inflation in food prices overall in the next several months:

MSM – Cincinnati-based Kroger Co., which had $132 billion in sales last year, says inflation is running hotter than management previously anticipated and that expectations are now for prices to rise 2% to 3% over the second half of this year.

Kroger is “passing along higher cost to the customer where it makes sense to do so,” said CFO Gary Millerchip on the company’s second-quarter earnings call on Friday. (read more)

The reason for more inflation is not too difficult to understand.  Fresh foods show fast price increases immediately because they have almost no pre-existing inventory.  Fresh foods go from field to fork the fastest, and price increases show up immediately.  The same applies to restaurants.

However, processed foods and shelf stable foods have a deeper inventory, the turns on that inventory take longer, and as a consequence, it takes longer for the price increases to show up.  Millerchip is simply saying the total supply chain price increases are going to hit, and they are going to hit even harder than the last few months, as the new processed inventory carries a higher cost.

The skyrocketing prices at the grocery store are predictable based almost entirely on Joe Biden’s pro-Wall Street and Multinational Corporation policies.  Main Street is getting hammered, and the working class is suffering as a direct result.

Their specific accountability for these outcomes is why the Biden administration is trying to distract and blame COVID-19 for supply chain issues.  However, it is not COVID driving the prices, it’s Joe Biden policies that benefit multinationals.  {Go Deep}

Food products are fast-turn consumable goods, and the inflation in the food sector is jaw-dropping already.  However, fresh and processed foods turn at different inventory levels.

Obviously fresh foods spoil fastest (think produce, fish, meats and dairy), so they are replenished more quickly, and the thin supply chain (field to fork) passes along increased costs fast. Processed foods have a longer shelf life (boxed, canned, frozen, etc), and as a consequence, have a much larger inventory level in manufacturing, warehousing and retail storerooms/shelves.  Within processed foods, there is a lag between cost increase at origination and that cost hitting the stores.

The problem identified within the current ‘producer price index’, is that price increases in the raw material and intermediate material are building into the supply chain.  Keep in mind, the entire supply chain is dependent on energy costs and the fuel prices that impact transportation.

The retail consumer supply chain for manufactured and processed food products includes bulk storage to compensate for seasonality.  There are over 800 commercial and public warehouses in the continental 48 states that store frozen products (2020 data).  The previously processed food price increases are currently reflected on store shelves (already hurting).  However, the coming processed processed food price increases will be much, much higher.  We will see even higher prices on processed foods in the supermarket.

The same price increases happen for restaurants, albeit faster as they follow the similar supply chain to fresh foods.

Pro Tip – Buy your Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday shelf-stable items now (spices, condiments, flour, sugars, dried foods etc.) before the prices go up in the next few months.

Florida Appeals Court Reinstates Governor DeSantis’ Ban Against Mask Mandates in Schools, Parental Choice Affirmed by Decision


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 10, 2021 | Sundance | 147 Comments

A Florida appeals court has ruled that Governor Ron DeSantis’ pro-choice school mask policy will be reinstated, and put a stay against a previous activist judge who attempted to block the executive order.  This is a freedom win for parents in Florida who will now have the option of having their kids wear masks or not depending on their individual choice.

FLORIDA – Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration won approval on Friday to put a hold on a Leon County judge’s ruling that said the state could not enforce a ban on strict mask mandates in schools.

The 1st District Court of Appeal agreed to a state request to reinstate a stay on Judge John Cooper’s ruling amid objections from a group of parents who said the move could cause “irreparable harm” to their children amid a rise of COVID-19 cases. The decision means the state can continue to punish school officials who impose mask mandates without a parent opt-out. (read more)

COVID Rules and Regulations are the Means to The End, They are Not The End Itself


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 10, 2021 | Sundance | 446 Comments

The announcement by Joe Biden yesterday to force vaccinations amid the U.S. workforce was a case study in politics, and his mandate attempt will fail – period.  Be angry, be righteously angry.  Be resolute and determined.  This is the hill, but do not be fearful…  they will fail.

As we noted yesterday, it is likely the elitist goal of the crew behind Biden is to cleave society thereby destroying it. However, if there’s something I know about this crew – it’s how their hubris is their blind-spot.  They can never think clearly through the details of their dictates, because they have never operated/lived in the place where the outcomes of those dictates surface. They make rules that are never implemented within their own tribe; this fact makes them extremely vulnerable.

The announcement by the Obama Chicago Marxist group, through Joe Biden, will never succeed.  The U.S. Constitution does not provide the executive with the power they are attempting to exert; not even close.   Their arguments are weak, make no sense, are not framed in legal standing, and are easily dispatched in the courts.  The carve-outs themselves nullify most of their predictable arguments.  If the vaccine is required as a matter of urgent public health -under an emergency declaration- then why are any exemptions afforded, or groups exempted.

♦ Obama’s crew are the people behind Joe Biden.  That has been visible since the Democrat primary race in 2020, when Obama united the clans shortly before Super-Tuesday {Go Deep}.  Obama had to unite the clans because Bernie Sanders was going to win the primary, and Obama could not rely on Sanders to protect the team from their previous corruption {Go Deep}.  When I am asked who is actually behind Joe Biden, the simple answer is, “everyone who was kneeling in 2020“; because they were all at risk -yes, including the FBI- from their coordinated effort with the Intelligence Branch of Government. Bernie Sanders had no allegiance to the corrupt crew of intelligence operatives that Obama and Biden triggered to target Trump {Go Deep}.

When you see these Moonbats spouting unconstitutional demands and insufferable positions from the media punditry, remember they are all connected to the Obama regime.  Dig into them, and you will find the connective threads that tie them together. “Dr. Leana Wen appeared along side Barack Obama and Sanjay Gupta at a medical summit in 2016″, {Go Deep}.  Leana Wen is a groomed Chinese-Communist operator in the United States.

“Dr. Wen, was born in Shanghai, China, in 1983. She was known then as Wen Linyan (温麟衍). Dr. Wen and her family moved to the United States when she was 8 years old, and by age 13 she enrolled at California State University, Los Angeles, and graduated by age 18 with a bachelor’s in Biochemistry. She was a Rhodes Scholar and pursued a master’s degree in global health at Oxford University.

While she was growing up in Los Angeles, Wen’s father worked as an information technology manager for China Daily (known as World Journal by the Chinese), which is an English language newspaper installed by Beijing as a foreign-facing [communist] propaganda publication as the Cultural Revolution in China ended.” (read more)

WATCH:

.

The right to travel is indeed a fundamental right.  It is one of the many unenumerated rights that belong to We The People as part of our Republic which forms the assembly of our state government systems.  Dr. Wen and the Obama tribe are targeting the American constitutional system; that is why we are able to predict what their steps will take in sequence.

Joe Biden is a disposable front-man for the people organizing the objective, so they don’t have to worry about political damage. The Biden term was designed for a single set of four-year rapid advancements for the Communist, Marxist and Socialist agenda. The Biden poll ratings and favorability, or lack therein, do not factor into the plan of action; those issues are irrelevant.

It is not happenstance, or coincidental luck in guessing that CTH outlined in December of 2020 that Obama/Biden would use OSHA as the regulatory agency to attack the U.S. workforce system -writ large- under the guise of COVID mitigation.  When you know the goals of these communists and Marxists, their intents become predictable.

Joe Biden is an avatar; a political pawn; a cognitively declining guy who has no idea what is happening around him. The people behind Biden, those in real control of what this is about, have not hidden their goals and aspirations. These are not stupid people. They are scheming, conniving, ever-planning, ever-manipulating & Machiavellian types within the political system; lusting for power, influence and affluence.

What they are planning to do is weaponize COVID-19 to attain ideological objectives. This is why they hyped the fear within it for almost a year. Nothing within their plan requires the approval or consent of any representative body in Washington DC.

COVID is the tool to “fundamentally change” the way the United States exists. {Go Deep}

Hypocrite Biden & Abuse of Power


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Sep 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Supreme Court made it very clear that the President has no such power to bypass Congress using executive orders of this nature to mandate vaccines for all companies with 100 employees or more. The immediate solution is to simply transfer all employees to sub-corporations and/or make them independent contractors.

Worse still, the reasoning of Biden fails against real science, not Fauci science that is just instructions he gets from Gates and Schwab. He said:

“This is not about freedom, or personal choice,” Biden said at one point. “It’s about protecting yourself and those around you — the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love … We cannot allow these actions to stand in the way of protecting the large majority of Americans who have done their part, who want to get back to life as normal.”

Even if vaccinated, you can still get COVID and you can still spread it to others. So there is NO POINT to getting the vaccination when this is an experimental claimed synthetic vaccine that has NEVER been approved or used previously because it has not proven to be safe in animals.

Even Israel is now finally trying to determine if there are any long-term side effects with so many people reporting problems and outright deaths from the vaccines. We have allowed Gates to vaccinate people BEFORE there is any real testing when we know this guy complains about overpopulation. Some people have had magnets cling to where they got the vaccination and others do not. Are we even sure that some of the vaccines may be different? Only the Israeli government seems to be doing some investigation. Vitamin D deficient people seem to be the ones that die according to their studies.

This is all about trust and nobody will investigate anything and they try to silence anyone who dares to question the narrative. Biden is allowing Schwab to impose the Great Reset on America.  I do not Trust Gates. The way he ran Microsoft and his actions against Netscape showed his true character and that is why the Justice Department was going to break up Microsoft but the compromise was he stepped down. Now this man controls the health of the entire world? Sorry, I choose the Blue Bill – not the Red.
