No Matter What Century, It’s Always Politics

July-August

If you look at the calendar, the months that have 31 days are January, March, May, July, August, October, and December. The only two months with 31 days back-to-back are July and August. Why? July was named for Julius Caesar. Augustus, meaning “father of the nation,” died on August 19, 14 AD, and was probably poisoned by his wife. So they named August after him before his death. But of course, August had 30 days and that would be slighting Augustus relative to Julius who had 31 days. So the solution was obvious. They took the extra day from February which was only named for a feast day known as the Februarius or Februa, the feast of purification, and renamed the month with 31 days equal to July.

January was named for the god Janus and March was named for Mars. You certainly didn’t want to make them angry. May was named Maius taken from the Greek Maia, or the goddess of spring. June could not be touched since that was named after the goddess Juno, the queen of the gods. July’s original name was quintilis or the fifth month in the early Roman calendar, so renaming that for Julius Caesar did not offend anyone. August was originally named sextilis or the sixth month in the early Roman calendar. September was the seventh month in the early Roman calendar and October was the eighth. November was named the ninth month and December (decimal) the tenth month.

Therefore, February was an easy month to take days from since it was named after a feast and nobody had to offend the gods

Socialism Has Destroyed the Social Structure

Nursing Home

 

World Fertility RateOnce upon a time, couples would have three to five children for that was their retirement. Family was everything. Then came Marx who effectively replaced the family with politicians. The family structure has declined steadily since the introduction of socialism. Children no longer save to take care of their parents for that is government’s job.

While some still tout that we are becoming over-populated, the number of children has been dropping remarkably. In China they implemented the one-child rule. That resulted in couples only wanting boys to carry on the family name. But daughters are typically those who take care of their parents zealously. China passed rules that the only child had to visit their parents. Now, the government is stepping in again and reducing the credit of adult children who do not visit their parents.

In the West, family size has fallen by about 50% from World War II. In Eastern Europe, the family structure remains intact only because people learned under communism not to count on the state for anything. In the West, people are living the dream — and that is all it is. They actually think government cares about them. This is why there is a new awakening we are watching with the manifestation of an new anti-establishment era.

Married Family with Children

Socialism has drastically altered the family structure. Government claimed it would replace the parents, and as a result, they succeeded in altering the very foundation of humanity that supported the family for centuries.

Apple May Send Cash Back to USA Thanks to EU Commission

Running for ExitTim Cook, the head of Apple, said that the company may send billions of dollars back to the US next year in 2017 in response to the EU Commission retroactively changing tax deals. Apple struck a deal with Ireland and agreed to locate there for taxes. Now the EU Commission is saying individual member states may not undercut anyone else on taxes to gain jobs for their own population. Apple entered into the agreement and paid the taxes to Ireland. Now the EU Commission says Apple must pay almost $15 billion more in taxes because Ireland undercut other members. Bureaucrats do not understand human nature and assume that people must obey and cannot see that this may destroy their own economy. The EU Commission cannot see reality. What they have done with Apple is set in motion a race to now exit Europe.

running_with_moneyCook made the comments in an interview with Irish media expressing the blunt fact that Apple may now simply repatriate cash back to the USA. He did not specifically say how much cash Apple might take home from foreign countries. Nevertheless, Cook’s comments are a direct response to the arbitrary position of the European Commission demanding Apple needs to pay Ireland $14.5 billion in additional tax penalties because the deal was less that they would have charged. Cook has publicly stated that this EU demand was “total political crap.”

Back during the S&L Crisis, we had clients who wanted to buy the failed S&Ls. I warned them that they should not get involved for they were dancing with the devil. Two clients did not listen. They bought the S&Ls they believed were cheap. Then as the crisis kept getting worse, the government changed the capitalization requirements. These two clients suffer complete losses because by then changing the capitalization AFTER they bough the entities, they themselves were then declared insolvent and the government retook the S&L based upon retroactively changing the requirements.

Big GovernmentYou cannot win. Once government has their foot in the door, game is over. You are dealing with people who generally hate your guts because to them, everyone in the private sector are rich and corrupt. They are jealous that those in the private sector have everything and they have to work for government.

Think back to high schools. Recall the bullies who stole people lunch money and enjoyed pushing others around. Look them up today. Chances are they work for government.

In Philadelphia, they spent a tone of money to create the convention center. We booked it for our conference. It was owned by the city. They could not even run that like a business, The demands kept getting worse by the day. They said I had to buy terrorist insurance covering the convention center, the city of Philadelphia, and the State of Pennsylvania. When I called my agent he thought it was joke. Then the film crew coming from Germany was told they could not film because they had to use only local unions. Add to this insanity, anyone coming to the WEC by car and wanted to park in their garage had to prove they had car insurance. It became impossible. No garage demands you prove you have car insurance to park.

Only people working for government can make up such crazy nonsense. We called the Marriott and they were free. With 2 weeks to go we had to move the conference. The Marriott asked, was it the terrorist insurance? You cannot deal with government. It simply is beyond all reason. The EU will send foreign companies packing and they will blame the greed of corporations rather than their own stupidity of retroactively change tax deals without notice.

The Road Ahead

Euroopean Separatists

I am receiving tons of emails from amazed readers who are congratulating me on our model that forecast a rise in third party activity from Europe to Asia. This rise is becoming obvious everywhere around the globe as a new era of anti-establishment. I showed this chart of the number of European separatist movements back at our 2012 Berlin conference. What you have to understand is that this is BY NO MEANS my personal revelation or opinion. No person can simply spout out such forecasts on an “I think” perspective. Sure, someone can say that and then claim they are brilliant, but even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

Real forecasting can only be accomplished globally. It requires imputing everything that moves and then, and only then, can you walk away with an understanding of how, why, and when. This forecast was made in 1985. The timing remains the same for each wave. We projected 2015.75 as the peak in government globally and that the 2016 election would be an anti-establishment rise. This was not by luck. Such things unfold because people are complacent and politicians are thieves. The politicians in a republic ALWAYS become corrupt and sell themselves to the highest bidder. Hillary is the poster child for this corruption that is just in your face. She takes money from country leaders who oppress women, yet she claims to stand for women’s rights. She stands with whoever pays the most.

Road Ahead

By the 2018 election, we will probably see a wholesale overthrow of Congress, especially if they elect Hillary. Just as Obama was a great disappointment since so many people thought being black he would stand for something, they will become disenchanted with Hillary if they rig the election. Hillary, if she wins, may be impeached for everything she has done. It just keeps coming out with one revelation after the next. As the economy turns down, the people will turn against her.

The excuses are endless for the British vote to leave. They said it was austerity, immigration, fall in real earnings, social inequality, loss of domestic manufacturing jobs and fishing rights to over-regulation. The explanations have been endless. The biggest political question of our day is right before our eyes, yet the mainstream media is so much a part of the political corruption that they cannot see the truth anymore no less the trend.

Why are so many electorates around the developed world shifting away from politics as we have known it to anti-establishment movements? Only our model has forecast this shift with the timing correct. This is the explanation behind not just BREXIT, but Marine Le Pen in France and Donald Trump in the United States. The road ahead is dark and the night is full of terrors. There is hopefully a light at the end if we understand why this trend is even developing. It would be nice, just for once, to take a step forward to a new era in politics toward a real democracy and put an end to republican style governments that are ALWAYS swallowed by corruption.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – THE DUMBING DOWN OF COLLEGE CURRICULUMS


The decline in the education system is directly related to the creation of the Department of Education. Once Federal money flows then where the money flows MUST DO what the government wants and what the government wants is directly related to what the special interests want. Common Core (or what ever they call it) is a prime example and it was started by Bill Gates and it wasn’t for education it was for marketing information.

The main purpose of these liberal professors is to brain-wash our children.  When their isn’t an exchange in different thought processes  and expression, which is happening, then we have failed our children.

When young people enter college the liberal professors are more interested in brain washing the child for liberal political purposes rather than actually teaching    – I blame the governors of the states in not enforcing a more diversified teaching faculty. There are too many liberal professors and not enough conservative professors to have a fair and balanced curricula.

The colleges have turned these institutions into a resort for these liberal tenured professors.  Half of the professors who teach classes never show up but send substitutes in their place.  They should have to punch a clock like ordinary folks to be sure the parents are getting what they paid for and the children are receiving the education they…

Children and Propaganda


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Sep 1, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Obama-Hitler-Children

QUESTION: I read your latest article how the American Press is engaging in propaganda. I also recalled your July 29 article on Congress authorizing the use of propaganda against the American people. Are there any signs that we can identify propaganda when that is the agenda? Is there some clue?

You are the only person who was on the inside who speaks out.

Thank you

ZT

ANSWEEuro-RefugeeR: Children are always the number one tool for propaganda. Whenever you see a story using children, it is the first sign of propaganda. Whenever they use cSyria Propagandahildren, it is to cover-up something or to get you to support some agenda. They used pictures of children sell the refugee crisis, yet more than 60% are not even from Syria and most of the refugees are young males and not families.

The latest attempt to influence Europeans is this one that even the Guardian just declared the “new symbol of the horror in Syria.” Children are always exploited to sell an agenda.

This is the primary tool of all propaganda machines. The British established the Office of War Propaganda during World War I and became the first to establish a government agency for the purpose of creating propaganda. They enlisted famous authors like Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling to write books casting the Germans as the enemy. MI6 has since created Innovative Communications & Strategies (InCoStrat), which is a sophisticated propaganda machine.

The United States adopted the British method in 1917 after establishing the Committee on Public Information in which they carried out experiments to manipulate people to a given agenda. They too employed some well-known people such as journalist Walter Lippmann and the inventor of modern publicity, Edward Bernays, who was Sigmund Freud’s nephew.

WW2 Buy World Bonds

Even during World War II, the US government used children to sell bonds. There is little doubt that the use of children is the primary motivator. Even in prison, if someone is charged with child molesting, other inmates kill them.

Children are the NUMBER ONE means of engaging in propaganda. So whenever you see some bill signed by the president, whoever that might be at the time, surrounded by children, you know there is something sinister hidden in the bill.

Obama surrounding himself with children for gun legislation, that disarms the honest people and not the criminals, can only mean one thing. They are trying to disarm the population for fear of civil unrest. Criminals do not fight for constitutional issues. They are using the guns in the drug trade as the Mafia does. They could care less about the politics. They ignore them anyhow.
