June 2nd Protest France

COMMENT #1: 

The current protests are not “The People against the State” and therefore it is not a revolution. It is the Left (CGT union and alike) against the Left (Presidency); it is a family affair like currently between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.
When these people rioted in my street, the REAL PEOPLE on their balcony INSULTED them. How could the real people walk in the streets with these bastards to make a revolution? They gather 2-3% of the votes in elections ! They ravaged everything for 20 minutes including a bank. We called the police who’s station is just 100 meters always and they didn’t show up until 20 minutes after their departure ! The police is not using water cannons and they are releasing within hours those who burn police cars and injure policemen.
The real risk is when the REAL PEOPLE clash with the PROTESTERS. That would bring an interim military cabinet who would delay the 2017 election. There is already General Didier Tauzin who announced he is running for President.
REPLY: They are calling this the Second French Revolution, but you are correct, it is not the people so much as the left unions. We have the same problem in the States. It is government workers against the people.
French Polls
COMMENT #2: 

Hello Mr Armstrong,

A single image that would suffice to understand the situation in France : Hollande is at a historical low approval rate, 11%.

The common reaction is : “How come he enjoys so much support ?”.

Honestly, I think Hollande does not get it. He likes to show how satisfied and proud of his achievements he is, which people see as a permanent provocation. He’s as clueless as you can get.

On the other hand, Manuel Valls is an arrogant, angry and brutal prime minister who often uses a martial rhetoric to silence anyone who questions his judgment. The man is known for having some serious mental problems. Be sure that if this man could, he would turn France into a dictatorship overnight.

Hopefully, Hollande is weak and unable to make decisions. He’s known to be a pathological liar, including in his private life. Being a natural born coward makes it impossible for him to take any responsability, even the smallest. When a problem occurs, he usually run away after having scapegoated someone else for the mistake.

Regards.

Elysée Palace
COMMENT #3:
Hello Mr Armstrong,

Some news from France where the global atmosphear is looking like a complete moral and political meltdown.

The french president François Hollande, his ministers, especially the head of the Ministry of the Economy Emmanuel Macron, can’t travel in France. Ministers have been ordered to reduced their trip to a “strict minimum”. The bill to reform the job market regulations is at the epicenter of the broader french society existential crisis.

Here is a link for the record related to the great difficulty the government experience to move within France :

I discuss extensively with thousands of French from various background and regions. I think the anger is at an all time high. It’s pure hatred for the government, politicians and, because the leading one, Hollande and his prime minister Valls. People are more and more convinced that France is becoming a “socialist dictatorship”.

Thanks to police forces, Hollande is still alive, but if it were not for the cops, the crowd would already be sitting in the Elysée Palace.

I talked with a a person from Belgium leaving in Romania with high levels connexions in Brussels. They’re terrified about 2017 for they know Alain Juppé (former Chirac Prime minister, crooked as possible) or Sarkozy won’t be able to lead France for it is more of the same and people are all too aware of it.

I remember you told me that your computers do not see Sarkozy winning. I don’t see Hollande winning. And i don’t think Le Pen can win. It looks like a dead end at this stage.

Regards.

REPLY: This is not just a French Revolution, it is an American one as well. We are seeing it in Britain, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Greece. Everyone has simply had enough of politics as usual. The elite around the world are in a complete state of denial.

Bill Kristol – New Triumvirate – Fighting for the Establishment


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Jun 5, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

kristol bill

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, You are friends with Bill Kristol.  So what is going on. He seems to be very much against Trump and is moving for an independent candidate. You know him. Any inside scoop?

ANSWER: Yes I know Bill. However, I would not say we are friends. Yes we have been to dinner many times and yes he spoke at one of our conferences back I think in 1996. Yes I helped him when he started the Weekly Standard. We took the back cover for the first 6 months or so. But beyond that, I would not say we are “friends” in the least and he was not so neo-conservative 20 years ago.

Now Kristol is in league with Mit Romney and Paul Ryan to create a Triumvirate in hopes of stealing the election away from Trump by forcing it into the House where they hope to save the establishment against the people. The scheme is not to win. The scheme is to prevent either candidate from winning enough electorial votes to throw the election back to the House.  House Speaker Paul Ryan was forced to begrudgingly endorse Trump. However, Ryan is part of the establishment and part of the problem in Washington. He may have endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, but his office just last week said that he will not encourage other Republicans to support their party’s presumptive nominee. The “establishment” is behind the curtain cheering Kristol, but they are so out of touch with reality it is sick. These people are fighting against the country, the people, and to maintain Washington as is. This Triumvirate is exactly why 86% of “Republicans” are voting for Trump against the elites funded by their oligarchy.

I do not agree with Kristol. Yes I know Bill. I would not endorse his view and I believe what he is trying to do with his oligarchy backers, Ryan and Romney, is against the best interest of the people of the United States and amounts to a denial of any democratic process. This is the phase transition or bubble top in their pretend “conservative” brand of politics that washes its hands in the blood of our soldiers. With respect to “conservative” policies, well they had two Republican presidents since Reagan and they did nothing to reform the system and the debt still exploded from $1 trillion under Reagan in 1980 to nearly $20 trillion.

I also know many other people in high profiles positions. I speak from experience – not from conspiracy theories. This is the end-game for neo-conservative people like Kristol and their oligarchy. They will lose all credibility and will be seen as dangerous people. They are in a state of denial exactly like Hillary and belong to an era that will be no more. They should go collect their Social Security checks and play golf.

The Day America Changed…


My military, political and economics research has been telling me this was coming for a long time and I have been writing about it since 2007. In 2012 I started the work to set up a blog where I post my own work as well as those I follow such as this site which is one of the best. My military traing in special operations consited of how to bring down a groverment albeit it was back in the day and low tech; however the principles are the same and so it was obvious to me 10 years ago that there was a force (George Soros et all) that wanted to change America into something else from what it was. The program was actually started in 1992 when I wasn’t paying attention and it is now almost complete; but this is America and so we still have a chance to save it — I just hope the Trump understands how bad it is.

The Second French Revolution? Or Just Major Civil Unrest?


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Jun 5, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

June 2nd Protest France

All our sources in France were warning a major labor civil unrest was going to explode. Literally, now hundreds of thousands of citizens have poured onto the streets in France and some are calling this the new French Revolution. They have been trying to impose a total media blackout in Western news outlets. This is to hide what is going on, and secondly, fearing if everyone else starts to see this, they will assume there is safety in number and join in.

British Government Sent Ballots to EU Citizens for BREXIT


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Jun 5, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

BREXIT On Schedule

The British government claims it made a mistake in sending thousands postal ballots to EU citizens living in the UK. The UK Electoral Commission had to admit its sent 3462 ballots to EU citizens who have no legal right to vote. They claim it was a software error. In the Scottish vote, they had British and EU counting votes for the Scots. No doubt that was one for you, two for me. They now claim that they will not count those votes. Good one. Of course the will count them. Will they now have people checking passports to vote? Highly doubtful.

Jobs v Asset Inflation


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Jun 5, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Jobs

The job market collapsed in May as the Labor Department reported on Friday that the nation’s economy added only 38,000 jobs. The experts were expecting a modest gain of 150,000 jobs. Additionally, there were actually 59,000 fewer new jobs in March and April than previously estimated. Then, looking closely at the 38,000 new jobs that were created, only 25,000 were in the private sector with the rest created in non-productive government jobs which feed off of taxes.

What people are also ignoring is regulation. Under Obamacare, there is absolutely no possible way even I would hire more than 24 Americans. We have people working in Beijing to Germany. Then you have the pension crisis. Companies are hiring part-time to avoid pensions. Even the US Post Office is playing that game. The heaps of regulation associated with this entire mess is crazy. And politicians want to raise the minimum wage to $15? All they will do is replace workers of a major scale. We already have robots and drones replacing workers because of regulation, pensions, and healthcare. Eliminate all that, and $15 is no big deal. If government wants to get more money into the pocket of workers, how about eliminating the income tax. Even if the lower income does not pay income tax and get the bilk refunded at year-end, the government has borrowed that money for free cheating them out of an opportunity to invest, and then they complain the rich get richer from investment while denying that opportunity to the lower classes.

When we look at the markets, each has moved to our key numbers are bounced. The Dow bounced off of the Month Bullish to close below it, gold held the critical number on a daily closing that would confirm the break under $1,000, and the euro also bounced from the key support. The markets are showing the lack of a decision to breakout or breakdown just yet as people remain confused. Nevertheless, the Dow did not crash and technically is holding still.

This is all reflective of the confusing trends as the economy is shifting. The jobs numbers on the one hand would say no rate hike. However, if assets continue to take off, the Fed will be accused of helping the rich get richer and will have to raise rates of be crucified by the socialists. So as we have been saying, this is the crazy times. All we can do is watch the key numbers and timing.

Obama just doesn’t have a clue about anything does he; If it weren’t for the Military he would have been doing his thing in Germany not the US. and I wonder how that would have gone.

Sheriff David Clarke Discusses The Violent Anti-Trump Thugs and Rioters – San Jose Police Chief Garcia Responds…


I’ll give Garcia the benefit of the doubt and assume he was told to stand down just like what was done in Philadelphia. Its the Mayor that directs the police and therefore its the Mayors responsibility.
