QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, You say you are not clairvoyant. However, you know more things than anyone geopolitically from there might be an assassination of Trump to Turkey will see to resurrect the Ottoman Empire. Some of us would like to know how you get so many things right when people think they are off the wall when you say them. It would be enlightening to listen to your response.

Thank you for all you do

Turkish Lira 1985 Conference

ANSWER: Look, I think the difference is that people do not understand history and think that the past has no bearing on the future. History repeats because human nature never changes. In addition to a fast recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the macroeconomic policies in Turkey and high commodity prices have contributed to surging inflation even on a nominal basis, but then there has been significant currency inflation, and the US greenback has soared against the Turkish lira. This lethal combination has caused growing external imbalances that are intermixed with implicit liabilities.

Turkish Lira Combined Y 7 28 24

As we can see, the US greenback has soared against the Turkish lira. Erdogan’s dream was to resurrect the Ottoman Empire, which ended when it was defeated and dissolved in 1908—1922. Now, with the economic conditions being deplorable, Erdogan needs an external enemy. The Arab nation-states are sympathetic toward Russia since they see that Israel is a protectorate of the United States. Erdogan is playing to the Arab world, and since Turkey has the most significant military force in the Middle East, he hopes to be seen as the savior and resurrect the Ottoman Empire, which just so happened to have included Israel.

If you have never been to Greece or Turkey, you are unaware that the hatred between these two nations dates back to Alexander the Great’s time. For Greece to even come out and make a statement that they can attack Turkey by surprise does not help the crisis.

Turkey will defend the Arabs against Israel, and the tensions between Greece and Turkey, both NATO countries, will lead to Turkey exiting this NATO alliance. They will join with Russia, which most of the Arab world supports. This is nothing new. This is merely how nation-states will always respond without exception.

So stay tuned for more fun and games. But when a country is in economic crisis, it needs an external enemy, and NATO offers nothing in return for their loyalty.

Pentagon Misplaces Billions in Aid to Ukraine AGAIN


Posted originally on Jul 29, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Pentagon 2

The US Defense Department quietly admitted to the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) that has misplaced an additional $2 billion in military funding to Ukraine. Not so coincidentally, the Pentagon also misplaced an alarming $6.2 billion in military funding for Ukraine in June 2023 “due to accounting errors.”

The Pentagon has NEVER ONCE passed an audit. America’s favorite money laundering service is paid for by the taxpayers, who have no say in how the money is spent or laundered, for that matter. Did the money go to contractors? Politicians? Ukraine? The government refuses to say. The latest $2 trillion is a drop in the bucket as the agency has managed to “misplace” TRILLIONS in funds over the years.

Yet, this same agency is always calling on Congress to approve more funding to Ukraine. The president has the ability to allocate funding from US stockpiles to Ukraine under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The Government Accountability Office has said that the Foreign Assistance Act is vague, preventing them from dutifully carrying out an audit. The DoD also approved an additional $150 million in military aid for Ukraine at the beginning of the month. Biden continues to approve funding to these agencies despite the ongoing “accounting errors.”

The government allegedly attempted to audit the Pentagon in 2023, spending $187 million to carry out the investigation through 1,600 auditors. Only 7 of the 29 sub-audits passed, and half of the claimed assets were unrecoverable. It has been a long-known issue that the Pentagon conveniently misplaces money and is never held accountable for its actions that amount to THEFT against the American people.

This is a HUGE SUM OF MONEY that could easily end hunger, homelessness, water shortages, improve education, and fix America’s broken infrastructure. Instead, those at the top approve endless billions to pass through the Pentagon where it mysteriously vanishes. WHY IS NO ONE HELD ACCOUNTABLE? The government is openly permitting the Pentagon to launder money at this point.

Way Beyond Sketchy – Local Butler County SWAT Team Says Trump Secret Service Detail Did Not Communicate with Them Before Shooting


Posted originally on the CTH on July 28, 2024 | Sundance

There are a growing number of voices pointing very specifically at the U.S. Secret Service and saying the level of incompetency in Butler County, Pennsylvania, was not accidental.

Indeed, as the fact pattern emerges, despite -and perhaps because of- the lack of public press briefings by DHS and the Secret Service leadership, a strong argument is now gaining momentum that USSS intentionally set President Trump up to be assassinated.  In this horrifically possible scenario, ‘willful blindness’ is the best alternative.

Putting further fuel on the possibility of an intended collapse of security, the local Butler County SWAT team is now telling the public that Secret Service officials never met with them, nor provided secure communications channels between the SWAT members and the Secret Service.  The SWAT team had no way to tell the USSS of the threat they saw moving toward President Trump. This detailed revelation is very troubling.  WATCH:

I am not at all surprised that First Lady Melania Trump now wants to keep Barron Trump as far away from American politics as possible.

The absence of specific government press conferences remains ‘the dog that didn’t bark’.

Sunday Talks – Senator Ron Johnson Provides Information About Trump Assassination Attempt from Govt Officials


Ron Johnson Provides Information About Trump Assassination Attempt

Posted originally on the CTH on July 28, 2024 | Sundance

Senator Ron Johnson is the former chair of the Homeland Security Committee.  Johnson’s staff have been sending letters to various agencies responsible for presidential security, in an effort to find out as much information as possible about the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

It has only been two weeks since an assassin attempted to kill President Trump, while murdering a rally attendee and critically injuring two others.  However, most of the corporate media have dropped the subject and quickly rushed to the coronation of Kamala “brat” Harris.   In an attempt to diminish the issue, Google has even removed search qualifiers for the Trump assassination attempt.  Google doesn’t do this without active participation with DHS and the Intelligence Community.

Ron Johnson talks to Fox News about the briefings he and his staff have received from DHS and Secret Service officials. WATCH:

Never Trust the Secret Service since Elite Bodyguards have a History of Assassinating Heads of State?


Posted originally on Jul 26, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Nixon drops Secret Service NYT

I have reported how President Richard Nixon had threatened the head of the CIA, saying: “I know who killed JFK.” When he was driven out of office, Nixon refused the protection of the Secret Service. This recent attempted assassination was according to their proven playbook. Use a claimed lone shoot, kill him to make sure there is never a trial, and the problem is eliminated. I have often said that history is merely a map to the future, for human nature never changes.

Sejanus AE As

There were assassinations and attempted assassinations of Roman emperors by rivals and sometimes bureaucrats who were trying to weasel in to grab power, like the story of Sejanus, who had the emperor’s son poisoned by his wife so he could marry her and then take out Tiberius to take the throne. His plot was discovered and terminated with him. There was also the equivalent of the Secret Service in Roman times – the Praetorian Guard, and they were not always trustworthy.

Praetorian Guard

During the Republican period, the equivalent of the Praetorian Guard were generally just bodyguards for elite politicians. It was not until 27 BC that the Senate bestowed the title “Augustus” upon him, and he became the first emperor of Rome. From then on, the Praetorian Guard was established, and they became the emperor’s personal security escort—the ancient version of the Secret Service.

Nixon refused the protection of the Secret Service because he was also a student of history. John O’Hurley is coming out this August with a documentary on Watergate, which he hopes will rehabilitate Nixon’s legacy. I met Nixon on the beach on Long Beach Island years ago after he left the White House. I don’t recall the conversation, but I did get the sense he knew his history. I also recall he did not seem to have Secret Service at the time.

Nixon Kitchen Debate 1959 1959

What the Deep State did to Nixon was to discredit him and his legacy to cover up the dark side of their anti-Democratic thirst for power. This, Nixon’s history, is problematic, for it certainly distorts their accomplishments and his fight against the left and the rising trend of communism, where he honed the style of red-baiting, where he would denounce an opponent as an anarchist, communist, Marxist, socialist, or Stalinist. His famous 1959 Kitchen Debate with Khrushchev established his belief in freedom and capitalism.

There is undoubtedly precedent for fearing the Secret Service. Historically, 13 Roman Emperors were assassinated by their Praetorian Guard – the very elite group who were to guard the emperor. There was roughly a 20.5-year interval on average between these assassinations. It is three such intervals since Kennedy’s assassination on November 22, 1963 – 61 years to 2024, before interestingly the next target was Trump.

Beyond Schoolhouse Rock – Understanding U.S. Government, 2024 Edition


Posted originally on the CTH on July 25, 2024 | Sundance

Some people struggle to understand the relationships of the IC silo operation in Washington DC.  That struggle is completely understandable, because the modern functioning doesn’t come as an outcome of any constitutional or legislative framework.  The modern functioning was created by the Intelligence Community (IC).

To share an example and provide an accurate elevator speech, CTH assembles non-pretending metaphors.  Here’s the State Department and CIA joint silo operation. All of our foreign allies and enemies know and understand this metaphor.  I have discussed it with several and many smile in affirmation:

The U.S State Dept and CIA operation is like a restaurant.

The Dept of State is the front of the restaurant, with the Secretary as the Maitre D’.

The CIA is the back of the restaurant, the kitchen. The Director is the Chef.

The menus at the front, as well as the specific seating/tables available, are dependent on the status of each guest. Each table gets a different menu.

The Chef has the opportunity to kill the diner. The diners know this and those who understand the nature of the business model consider the Chef the most powerful person in the establishment.

The consulates are the wait staff. USAID are the food runners. The Dept of Defense are the bus boys.

Ukraine is a big tipper.

At Last the Truth?

NY Police

FBI Director Wray has made it clear, and now we know why the snipers could not soot the assassin before he shot Trump. It is so obvious; why did we not understand this? The sniper was aiming at an area that is outside the Security Zone, but he was not allowed to fire until the shooter fired. Obviously, Tom Crooks might have just been duck hunting on the roof.

2023 Duck Hubting Stamp

What if they had killed an innocent duck hunter? He may have paid the $25 for the permit. A possible innocent duck hunter. OMG. It all makes sense now, just like the cartoon about police protection in New York City. How stupid are we all? Obviously, he could have just been using the scope to look at Trump from a distance.

Now, the Secret Service has admitted they can’t protect anyone. They want Trump to cancel all rallies that are outside. Amazing.

Nixon declined Secret Service Protection after Telling the CIA Director – “I know who killed JFK.”

Hm. Interesting Indeed.

President Trump Shares a Letter from Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas


Posted originally on the CTH on July 24, 2024 | Sundance

President Trump shared a letter and return message yesterday:

“Looking forward to seeing Bibi Netanyahu on Friday, and even more forward to achieving Peace in the Middle East! DJT”

[Source]

There are many interests in the U.S. government, Israeli government, U.S. Intelligence Community and media, who will not like this.

“The fundamental dividing line in American society today is power — between those who have it and those who do not. Between those who control the financial system, justice system and information system and those who are at their mercy.

Between those who can create hoaxes of whole cloth and make them the centerpiece of our political lives and those who can be framed and defamed without recourse. Between those who can persecute the innocent and those who are innocent.

Between those who can flip narratives on a dime and between those who are the targets of those false narratives.

Between those who can lie to us for four years and tell us Biden is mentally sound and then, within a week, declare him unfit, defenestrate him, nullify the primary, and coronate a new nominee and proclaim it all as democracy and those who can be censored and blacklisted merely for questioning power.

Between those who can author an invasion and beat back all attempts to stop illegal alien voting and those who can face arrest for even raising questions about the security of our elections.

Between those who can decide which crime story is international news and which murdered American’s name will never be heard.

Between those who can spend a large fortune on wars overseas and those who cannot even afford to pay for rent or groceries.

Between those who can offshore their factories and grow their wealth and those who are left jobless and penniless.

The security, financial and political state is not fundamentally ideological. Its objective, down through time, remains the preservation of its own power. But these interests must form political alliances. And, in America, permanent power has aligned itself, conjoined itself, in a complete symbiosis with progressive ideology and the Democrat Party.

Why? Because first, both are united in their desire for top-down control over our lives, especially by the appointed and unelected. And second, because the Democrat Party is willing to accept the terms of the grand bargain: to do exactly as they are told.

They control Biden. But when his impairment laid bare their propaganda wall, he had to go. Now they control Harris: she will never challenge entrenched power in America, she will facilitate its every demand. On foreign policy, migration policy, justice policy, financial policy, security policy.

The most important fact in this, however, is that there is one leader in all of American politics they do not control. Will never control. One man who answers to the people and only to the people: President Donald Trump.

That is why those who hold permanent power are furiously hellbent on stopping him.

That is why the corrupt political class is panicking and breaking every rule in pursuit of its own victory.

And that is why this is the most important election in the history of our country.

Vote to reclaim your freedom and your future. Now or never.”
