QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Your sources are renowned. The Commission on the National Defense Strategy report on the state of affairs globally agrees with you. Thank you for your undying efforts. I am sure you have probably reviewed this report as well. Do you have any comment or review? Your words here do not go unnoticed.
Anonymous
ANSWER: I am not sure this report has gained much press, if any. This report paints a dark picture of the political failure in reigning in the Neocons. My criticism is that it does not explain the shenanigans of the Neocons. It does concede that there is a strategic inadequacy amid a time with the rapidly increasing danger of World War III. The Neocons have pushed us to the brink of war because they have control under the Biden Administration, which has prioritized their actions, overlooking our declining military power. This report said that we face the “most serious and most challenging” threats since 1945. That is an understatement. This even surpasses the previous close call we had in a nuclear confrontation where we went to Defcon 3 involving the Middle East, which was after the Cuban Missile Crisis that most historians overlook.
This report further elaborates on the real risk of “near-term major war.” The report even went further warning very clearly:
“The nation was last prepared for such a fight during the Cold War, which ended 35 years ago. It is not prepared today.”
It pointed out what I have been warning about regarding the linking of China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. It did note,
“China and Russia’s ‘no-limits’ partnership, formed in February 2022 just days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has only deepened and broadened to include a military and economic partnership with Iran and North Korea. . . . This new alignment of nations opposed to U.S. interests creates a real risk, if not likelihood, that conflict anywhere could become a multitheater or global war.”
The report concluded that war can break out but that “the U.S. military lacks both the capabilities and the capacity required to be confident it can deter and prevail in combat.” It stressed what I have been yelling about: the US appears to lack the fortitude to prevent World War III, and they also warned that victory is not assured.
What I want to add is that Russia will assist Iran in getting over the hurdles for nuclear weapons. This is the development of the arrogance of our Neocons, who have never won a single war since World War II but have continued more than 50% of the national debt without interest expenditures.
I am afraid that party politics is playing far too great a role in this issue when it is only to our detriment. I am unaware that this report is a major revelation in the mainstream press, probably because it would point the finger at the Biden Administration. Not even the presidential candidates seem to talk about it. It seems to have gone over the heads of most in Congress as if nobody cares about anything anymore. If history teaches anything, China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea have chosen this moment in history to take a stand against the Neocons, who have caused others to look at America as an imperial power, quite the opposite of the American people.
QUESTION: Has Russia stationed its nuclear subs around Britain and the USA?
DF
ANSWER: Yes. In response to handing long-range missiles to Ukraine, on September 12th, Russia deployed its Project 885 “Yasen” Class subs with Zircon Hypersonic Missiles. As I have said, I have met with members of Congress and they said the risk of war was with China – not Russia. I have explained that they are being pointed in the opposite direction so the Neocons have free reign.
I do not think that the press is telling the full story here and how the West is pushing Russia to war. Putin has been the ONLY adult in the room. He has been patient. I fear that our model on Russian Revolutions will turn in October. If the Russian Neocons remove Putin, then our Neocons will get their wish – World War III. The question is, will they survive? They could take out London and Washington in a matter of minutes.
Will our Politicians Ever Wake Up? Who does this war benefit?

Let’s get real here. Our Neocons have convinced our political leaders that Putin will NEVER push the button. Among these pathetic world leaders cheering World War III along with Biden are UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and most EU heads of state. The leader of the American Neocons is Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. Russia does not want nuclear war, and it keeps trying to warn the West, but our Neocons tell the politicians, don’t worry, be happy; they can conquer Russia, and Putin is bluffing.
On the opposite side is former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who the press diminishes as just fake threats. Yet Medvedev warned last week “a nuclear response is an extremely difficult decision with irreversible consequences,” adding that “patience comes to an end.”
Only Reuters actually reported that Dmitry Medvedev was not bluffing. “Russia was not bluffing when it spoke of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine and warned Moscow’s conflict with the West could escalate into all-out war.” Even Newsweek finally reported with the headline:
Even Britain’s Independent reported that “The former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has warned that the Kremlin could reduce Kyiv to a “giant melted spot” if Ukraine’s allies give the green light for them to fire long-range missiles deep into Russia.” Ironically, that may be the only way to save the world. Ukrainin’s hatred of Russians is personal and can never be eradicated. This is like the Hatfield vs McCoys. It is not much different from in the Middle East with Sunni vs Shite. We are on the WRONG SIDE here and Ukraine is irresponsible.
Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov also said that he is surprised at the “illusion” that “if there is a conflict, it will not spread to the territory of the United States of America.”Blinken and the Neocons should be dragged out of the White House as traitors to the people of the United States and the world.
This was supposed to be about Democracy and Freedom. It is about Hatred and Money.
When Yugoslavia broke up, it did so along ethnic lines. The hatred in these areas extends back centuries. There are conflicts from the invasion of the Ottoman Empire, so you still have groups of Muslims and Christians who have never been forgotten.
Ukraine never had its own country. They joined Hitler, who promised them their own country if they became Nazis. From the outset, I warned that Ukraine should have been divided along ethnic lines the same as Yugoslavia. Don’t forget, it was a Serb who assassinated the Archduke and heir to the Austrian-Hungarian throne that started World War I. We never seem to learn a damn thing from history.
But the American Neocons have used Ukrainians as cannon fodder and do not care about Ukrainians at all. They have used them to kill Russians in the hope of weakening Russia so they could achieve their lifelong goal of conquering Russia. This is an ethnic territorial grab outlawing their language, culture, and religion. Zelensky has deliberately sought this war and stood up before the world press the day before Russia crossed the border, proudly saying Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons to make sure Putin would invade the next day the same as the 1962 Missile Crisis.
When these people destroy the world and your future over Ukraine, as
World War I did from this region, understand this:

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, It is becoming obvious that your knowledge of geopolitical events is being read worldwide. I also understand why you say you will address some things only on your private blog. Your statement that Russia should use a tactical nuclear weapon on its territory to wake up the people of the West to what our leaders are playing with has been expressed in Russia. A Russian MP has now publicly stated: “We must detonate the bomb in Russia to make humanity think.”
Mr. Armstrong, you are the only person of our generation who truly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. You do not have a life; you have a mission. I wish the mainstream press would wake up and listen to your warnings.

REPLY: Thanks. Perhaps you are right; I don’t have a life, only a mission, since I do not know a woman would put up with me or many others – lol. I often feel like that clay figure in the 1981 Clash of the Titans that Zeus sticks in the middle of everything. I have been thrust into the middle of almost every financial crisis since the 1970s. What will be in the new version of The Forecaster 2024 is even when I was in prison, Congress still came to me during the 2007-2009 crash. Yet, it often seems to be a fruitless mission, for I try hard to beat Socrates’ forecasts, but I am the one who loses. No matter how loud I scream at people in various positions of power, they do not honestly listen.
Once upon a time, the argument for nuclear weapons was that they were a deterrent to prevent war. No longer! Unfortunately, our Neocons are ruthless. They do not care about humanity, our civilization, or anything other than their imperialism and hatred. They assume they will always win, yet have lost every war they concocted since World War II. They do not give a second thought to Ukraine or its people. They are just cannon fodder to take as many Russians with them.
I did have a meeting with a member of Congress, and they said that war would be with China – not Russia. They have been distracted by the claims about China while the real threat is poking the Russian bear. Nobody will listen. The Neocons keep telling the politicians that Putin is bluffing. They are handing long-range missiles to Ukraine that will target and try to destroy Moscow. How stupid can our politicians be? I fear that if Putin does NOT respond, the Russian Neocons will overthrow him in October, and World War III will be full-on.
If China invaded the US and was 500 miles into California and began shooting missiles at Washington, DC, would we do nothing? They also do not know their history. Nations ban together against common enemies. HELLO!!!!! China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran will join together against the USA and Europe. WTF!!!! Wake Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every reader should send a letter to their Congressman and tell them to wake up – the Neocons are in full control of NATO. They are trying desperately to force Russia to attack anything in NATO so they can claim he is the aggressor to get their Declaration of War. Anyone in Congress who votes for more money to Zelensky is a traitor to the American people. They lack the intelligence and experience to be there.
The Neocons Need to Start War to Cling to Power Fearing a Trump Victory
The 2nd Assassination Just Failed. They may yet try a 3rd Time, hoping that will be the Charm
I warned a long time again that Zelensky’s history will be remembered as a war criminal of untold horror. This is the man installed in a fake election, according to my Ukrainian sources, who would start World War III. It’s long been a request of Zelensky, who wants the capacity to strike Russian launchpads in Russia to disarm its nuclear capability and has even sent drones to hit civilians in Moscow. Putin has shown tremendous patience, for he does not want to be baited into creating World War III.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has threatened to turn Kyiv into “a giant gray melted spot”; frankly, the longer he waits, the worse things will get. It is perhaps the only thing to wake up the West to show that the Neocons are manipulating our politicians, telling them that Putin is bluffing and he will never resort to nuclear weapons. They are using Ukrainians as cannon fodder and think that the Ukrainians will kill enough Russians and weaken it to allow NATO to invade, and Putin will fall to his knees and beg for his life.
The only option for Russia not to attack NATO is to nuke Ukraine. At the very least, they should use a tactical nuke inside Russia and take out the entire invading Ukrainian forces that problem include American mercenaries. They do need to make a demonstration to the world that the Neocons are wrong and Russia will restore to nuclear weapons. Our Western press is in bed with the Neocons, and they only cheer them on. Only such a demonstration by Russia will raise any hope whatsoever of opening the eyes of our Western Press and our Politicians who REFUSE to consider peace under any terms.
Putin warned handing long-range missiles to Ukraine to strike Moscow is no different than someone hiring a hitman to kill their spouse, pretending they did not pull the trigger. Put warned: “This will mean that NATO countries — the US and European countries — are at war with Russia,”and hinted at possible responses based on the new threats posed to Russia. When a British journalist asked Biden about the threat of handing long-range missiles to Ukraine, he lashed out at the journalist: “You’ve got to be quiet. I’m going to make a statement here, okay?” Zelensky is following orders from the Neocons to launch his surprise invasion of Russian territory on August 6 merely in hopes that Putin will attack NATO.
Nero ruled for less than two decades and was later regarded with particular infamy due to this power grab of his own mother – Agrippina, Jr. Nero began his reign at the age of 16 in 54AD after his uncle Claudius was probably poisoned by Agrippina, Jr. This coin depicting the Temple of Janus with its doors closed relates to a specific time during his reign when there was a lot of unrest. His dominant mother ensured there would be a civil war, and she even plotted against him, which is why he ordered her death.
When the doors on the Temple of Janus were open, it symbolized that the fate of war is never predictable in terms of time and outcome. Both historians Virgil and Ennius tell us that the gates held in Discord and Fury inside the temple during times of peace. Romans viewed the Temple of Janus’s gates when being shut as a time of great celebration, and it was the pride of Emperors, as we see with this coin issued by Nero. Indeed, Augustus’s accounts of shutting the doors three times demonstrated this pride and celebration.

The Martin County Sheriffs’ office has promised to release all the information around the Trump assassination attempt in Florida to the public. This morning the sheriff’s office released the body cam footage from the arrest of Ryan Wesley Routh.
According to new information, suspect Ryan Routh spent almost 12 hours lying in wait for the former president at his golf course, according to court documents. Ryan Wesley Routh took up position at the Trump International Golf Course in Florida just before 2am on Sunday, officials said, citing data from the 58-year-old’s mobile phone. He camped at the spot, where he was concealed in the tree line, with food and an assault rifle until 1:31pm, when he was allegedly spotted by President Trump’s security team and fled in a black Nissan without opening fire.
Ryan Routh was arrested on I-95 as he fled the area. The body camera footage released shows his arrest. WATCH:

President Donald Trump is directly confronting the left-wing calls to violence toward him, while contrast against the second assassination attempt that took place yesterday. Details below video.
From his campaign website, President Trump outlines the receipts of democrats and media calling for political violence against him. The details and citations outlined are quite alarming. Threats have consequences, and Donald Trump is saying “enough.”
[DONALD J TRUMP] Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump was the target of a second assassination attempt in as many months.
Thankfully, the would-be assassin was stopped by the heroic action of law enforcement — but make no mistake, this psycho was egged on by the rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their Fake News allies for years.
Democrats used increasingly incendiary rhetoric against President Trump in the days, weeks, and months leading up to the two assassination attempts:
Kamala Harris: “It’s on us to recognize the threat [Trump] poses.”
Kamala Harris: “Does one of us have to come out alive? Ha ha ha ha!”
Joe Biden: “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
Joe Biden: “I mean this from the bottom of my heart: Trump is a threat to this nation.”
Joe Biden: “There is one existential threat: it’s Donald Trump.”
Joe Biden: “Trump is a genuine threat to this nation … He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.”
Joe Biden: “Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country.”
Joe Biden: “Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic … and that is a threat to this country.”
Tim Walz: “Are [Republicans] a threat to democracy? Yes. … Are they going to put peoples’ lives in danger? Yes.”
Rep. Maxine Waters: “Are [Trump supporters] preparing a civil war against us?”
Rep. Maxine Waters: “I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that [Trump] is connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere.”
That doesn’t even include the dangerous rhetoric against President Trump spewed by deranged Democrats during the 2016 and 2020 elections, the impeachment hoaxes, and the Summer of Love.
Meanwhile, the deplorable commentary from Democrats and the Fake News in the aftermath of the latest assassination attempt has been even worse:
Rep. Mikie Sherrill: “This really seems to be the confluence of two very bad things going on in the Republican Party … the attempts to divide, to enrage the population.”
Lester Holt, NBC Nightly News: “Today’s apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail. Mr. Trump, his running mate JD Vance, continue to make baseless claims…”
Alex Witt, MSNBC: “Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to [tone it down]?”
David Frum, The Atlantic: “Trump and his running mate have spent the past week successfully inciting violence … today they want to present themselves as near-victims of violence.”
Bloomberg: Trump “seizing on assassination attempt.”
Democrats and the Fake News must immediately cease their inflammatory, violent rhetoric against President Trump — which was mimicked by yesterday’s would-be asssassin.
President Trump said it best: “Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!”

Martin County Sheriff William Snyder gave a press briefing earlier today and at a certain point was asked some specifics about the attempted shooter/assassin Ryan Routh and his connection to the area.
At 11:25 of the video below, Sheriff Snyder instinctively has two general baseline questions: (1) How did the assassin, from outside the area, know exactly where to be in order to have the opportunity to shoot President Trump; and (2) Did Ryan Rough act alone, or was he part of a supportive conspiracy to assassinate President Trump.
I think it is fair to say that we all view the use of the FBI in this investigation with great trepidation.
Given the long and extensive history of the modern, highly, intensely political, FBI as a weaponized agency of the federal government, there is zero faith or trust in their institutional ability to conduct a genuine investigation. This is not a comfortable thing to accept or admit, but unfortunately there is no other intellectually honest reference point from which to generate optimism.
Sheriff Snyder repeatedly defers all elements of the ongoing investigation to the FBI. However, on the positive side all of the information that is inside the control of the local law enforcement is being shared with the public; it’s the feds that are the problem.
CTH has sources within the system on a local and state level. Prayers for President Trump, the entire Trump family and organization, along with our entire nation, continue.

The alligator emojis are all giddy claiming Top Gov DeSantis, has kicked the feds out of Florida and taken custody of Ryan Wesley Routh. Apparently, the rumors of Ron DeSantis starting a state-level independent investigation has led the DeSantis supporters to believe Ron is doing something. However, there’s no truth to any of it.
FACTS: Asked in a press conference today about the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the Florida governor told the media he had not talked to President Trump; however, he did expect an announcement to be “forthcoming” that Florida will investigate the events of the assassination attempt. The announcement will come sometime later on. Here’s the answer. WATCH:
Ryan Wesley Routh was placed in the custody of the FBI immediately after his arrest last evening. Routh appeared in federal court today, where he is charged with federal gun charges.
Politico – […] In court papers filed Monday morning, an FBI agent alleged that Routh started staking out Trump’s golf course at about 2 a.m. on Sunday. Twelve hours later, as Trump was golfing, a Secret Service agent walking the course’s perimeter saw Routh’s semi-automatic rifle poking through the fence surrounding the course. The agent fired at him and Routh fled. He was later arrested by local law enforcement and has been charged by federal prosecutors with gun crimes. (more)

I’m not exactly sure why the second assassination attempt leads Senator Josh Hawley to release a complaint about the systemic issues with the Dept of Homeland Security and U.S. Secret Service, but that appears to be the reasoning he provides.
Why does it take a second attempt to release information to the public that stems from the first attempt? Seems a little odd to me.
WASHINGTON DC – After two near-assassinations in two months, the Secret Service is facing scorching criticism for its work to protect former President Donald Trump.
In July, the agency’s director resigned amid bipartisan outrage over the failure to prevent a gunman from climbing onto a roof and firing multiple shots at Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. And now, security experts are questioning how another would-be gunman was apparently able to camp undetected near Trump’s golf course for nearly 12 hours before being confronted by a Secret Service agent who opened fire.
“I think it’s a failure, 100%,” said security expert Carrie Bachner, referring to the latest incident. Bachner is the CEO of the Bachner Group and a former adviser to the Department of Homeland Security’s undersecretary for intelligence and analysis.
“Obviously, it was successful in the fact that the former president wasn’t shot, which is great, and no shots were fired from that particular individual,” she added. “However, that’s sort of looking at the glass half full, if you want to be positive about it.”
On Capitol Hill, the Secret Service is at the center of the House’s investigation into the first assassination attempt. That probe is now poised to expand to include a second.
The suspect allegedly involved in Sunday’s incident was within several hundred yards of Trump as he played golf, authorities said. Someone with a loaded gun should never have been allowed to get that close to the presidential candidate, Bachner said. (read more)
I never thought I’d be appointed to an assassination attempt task force while in Congress, let alone have a 2nd attempt only a month into the task force. We should all be deeply concerned about how yet another disturbed person got this close to President Trump with a weapon. pic.twitter.com/kNmXcga0aM
