US Provokes China – Russia’s Alliance with China Grow Stronger


Armstrong Economicsa Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

China has attempted to remain neutral but the Neocons won’t allow that to happen. China is enjoying its recent economic boom and building strategic partnerships through trade and international relations. China has grown to become a global power and will become the next financial capital of the world when all is said and done. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect personally that the West would be the aggressor. Now I can see Neocons, who I even personally have known, are really in control of the Biden Administration. The Pentagon released the video above, with CBS News claiming Chinese fighter jets were harassing US planes in international airspace.

Were the planes flying by the coast of California or Hawaii? No. US warplanes were flying near the Taiwan Strait once again. China has repeatedly warned America not to interfere in its One China policy with Taiwan. The media spins the situation as if the government actually cares about the people of Taiwan. The truth of the matter is that the Neocons want to play war games with our tax dollars and do not like China’s recent success or status as an economic powerhouse.

China will eventually be pushed to the brink and will have no alternative but to engage in war. The Pentagon said that US and Chinese fighter planes have come in close contact 180 times since 2021, surpassing the number of encounters of the past decade. China now has the ability to push back and knows the West’s resources are stretched thin.

Putin visited Xi this week in Beijing where he was greeted as a guest of honor. Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iran are heavily backed by Russia and China, among other Middle Eastern nations. The BRICS partnership has grown so strong that no one is dependent on Western energy, and eventually, no one will be dependent on Western trade or debt. They no longer need to use the currency of their adversary. China is attempting to remain neutral in both the Israel-Palestine and Russia-Ukraine wars, but Taiwan is where they draw the line.

As a Senator, Joe Biden scoffed at the idea of a China-Russia alliance in the event of NATO encroaching on Eastern Europe. Take a look at the video above from 1997 — yes, that was Joe Biden before his health declined to the point where he can hardly speak or step off a stage. Putin was Yeltsin’s deputy-in-chief at this time of this speech, and Bill Clinton was the president of the US. Baltic states were lining up to join NATO back then, which threatened Russia’s national security. Biden insisted that Russia would have no alternative but “to look West.” This was one of the original plans to infiltrate Russia and install a pro-Western leader.

“Yes, we see that some people consider it an attempt by the People’s Republic of China to put someone under its thumb, but we see otherwise. We just see a desire for cooperation,” Putin stated. Last year, China and Russia signed a “no limits” partnership in the wake of the war in Ukraine. They are teaming up against Western aggression, it is not the other way around. All of the players are aligning and preparing for the inevitable.

My Take on Obama/Biden Long Game with Israeli War – 8:00pm Biden Speech


Posted originally on the CTH on October 19, 2023 | Sundance

In advance of Biden’s national address, here’s my take on the policy agenda and what they won’t say.

Obama/Biden et al, want a Two State solution for Israel and the Palestinians.  I believe all efforts are underway to exploit the 10/7/23 terrorist attack to advance that agenda.  Netanyahu is being carefully painted into a position where the survival of Israel will be contingent upon accepting this two-state solution, which essentially means -in the long picture- the elimination of the Israeli state.

Biden will give the outward face of complete support toward Israel; however, the background work will be to protect Gaza, and thereby Hamas, and controllably expand -if needed- the regional conflict, such that a two-state solution becomes the only viable option for the survival of Israel.  Efforts by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood and by extension Iran, will appear to be confronted by Biden, but only insofar as the need for USA military support becomes more important and that process paints Netanyahu into a corner.

If I’m right, things are going to get really ugly/sketchy as Biden walks this ridiculous tightrope, and King Abdullah, President al-Sisi and MbS can see it coming.  FUBAR. Pray for the nation state of Israel.  Remember, with disposable one-term Biden in the White House, team Obama have no downside.

Something Sketchy – Pentagon Claims U.S. Destroyer in Red Sea Intercepted and Shot Down 3 Missiles and 8 Drones Launched from Yemen to Target Israel


Posted originally on the CTH on October 19, 2023 | Sundance 

Something about this story just doesn’t pass the proverbial sniff test.

It is 1,300 straight line miles from Yemen to Israel; add in the Red Sea path claimed, and you add another approximately 200 miles.  So, the claim is around 1,500 +/- miles.

The Raytheon built Tomahawk cruise missile, with GPS enabling, some of the most advanced cruise missile tech in the world, has a max targeting distance of 1,000 miles [LINK].  How the hell did Yemen get missiles and drones capable of flying 1,500 targeted miles?

Additionally, if Yemen had this level of missile technology available, the Houthi rebels would have flown them at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, over the past decade during their war.

Now that I have shared that context, look carefully at how the statements are worded (emphasis mine).

(VIA ABC) – The USS Carney, a Navy destroyer in the Red Sea, on Thursday shot down multiple missiles launched by Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen that the Pentagon said were potentially headed toward targets in Israel.

The ship intercepted three land attack cruise missiles and about eight drones, Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said at a press briefing.

The preliminary U.S. assessment was that the USS Carney was not the target of any of the Houthi missiles or drones.

Information about the engagements was still being processed, Ryder said. “We cannot say for certain what these missiles and drones were targeting but they were launched from Yemen heading north along the Red Sea potentially to targets in Israel.

It’s unclear from where the Houthi militia’s missiles were fired but they were headed in a northerly direction, an official said.

The incident occurred during the early evening hours Thursday local time and the missiles were taken down over water, not land, the Pentagon said.

The missiles fired by the Houthis were engaged by SM2 missiles carried aboard the USS Carney, an official said. (read more)

On the afternoon before pudding brain gives his national address on the Israeli war, the Pentagon is reporting on a fleet of missiles and drones, eleven in total, flying from Yemen to Israel, thereby exceeding the capacity of U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile systems by 50%.    You buying this?

…Oh, AND they collectively would have flown over Egypt to arrive in Israel if not intercepted.

Sorry, I don’t mean to sound like a conspiracy nut, but this just doesn’t add up.  This sounds like the seeds of an expanded war narrative to me.

In combination with the ‘couched’ Pentagon statement, Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious.

Soros Open Society Behind the Left’s Support for Hamas


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The far left in America is supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization. They make it clear that they are supporting Hamas and not merely the innocent civilians of Palestine. Groups like Black Lives Matter have posted images of paragliders, which would have been akin to someone posting a plane crashing into a building shortly after 9/11. Then we have Joe Biden coming out and celebrating the birthday of the man whose death began Black Lives Matter while also pledging support for Israel.

One of the most powerful puppeteers on the left supports Hamas and global terrorism – George Soros. Yes, this is the man who openly said on “60 Minutes” that he felt no remorse for helping the Nazis confiscate the Jew’s belongings before sending them to concentration camps. George handed the power down to his son Alex who has become embedded in the conflict.

Alex was one of many who signed a letter to President Biden urging him to prevent Netanyahu’s judicial renovation. “Sadly, we must acknowledge that warnings from the United States did not ultimately prevent the Israeli government from acting on this agenda,” the letter stated, later urging Biden to appoint a new ambassador to Israel. The same letter also urged Biden to reopen the US consulate in Jerusalem to work with the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. “Americans who care about Israel are horrified to see the government assault on the state’s democratic norms and institutions,” Alex Soros stated.

The Soros family is playing both sides. Alex Soros penned an op-ed for CNN in July, one month before his letter to Biden, entitled “Opinion: President Biden has taken a vital step to counter antisemitism in America.” He complains that the likes of Donald Trump and Elon Musk criticized his father. The article states that Jewish Americans were fighting antisemitism, and that Israel’s treatment of Palestine was one of the reasons. “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has adopted increasingly aggressive and hostile policies towards its Arab population, elevating extremists to cabinet rank, authorizing new settlements in the occupied West Bank and proposing dramatic new curbs on the independence of the judiciary — a stance that drew criticism from Israel’s traditional allies and propelled hundreds of thousands of protesters into the streets,” Alex Soros wrote.

Remember the Cloward-Piven strategy of creating civil unrest to create a regime change. “It is essential that the tools used to combat antisemitism cannot be repurposed to target academics, activists, students and advocacy groups that voice support for Palestinian human rights and restrict the free speech and policy disagreements that are at the very heart of an open society,” he continued. Now we see this very thing unfolding in America as leftist students and advocacy groups, all funded by the Open Society, firmly support Hamas.

Iran Threatens US – America’s Enemies Grow Bolder


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

America’s adversaries no longer live in fear. They see how divided the nation has become under one of the most disastrous administrations in US history. Only a few short years ago this would not have happened. When the Taliban was threatening the US, then President Trump sent the leader of the Taliban a picture of his house.

“Didn’t you at one point tell him, ‘I know exactly where you are,’ and give him the exact coordinates where he was?” Sean Hannity asked Trump. Trump replied, “No, I sent him a picture of his house. He said, ‘But why but why do you send me a picture of my house?’ I said, ‘You have to figure that one out.’ “I said, ‘If you do anything – from that point on we didn’t lose one soldier – we’re going to hit you harder than any country has ever been hit.’ He said, ‘I understand, your Excellency.’“

What happened when ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was captured? Trump went on national TV to announce that the US would make good on their threats. He explained to the world how the leader of ISIS “died like a dog” who spent his last moments in fear, running from American forces like a “coward” and hiding behind women and children. In another instance, Trump posted a simple picture of the American flag to social media moments before an airstrike in Iraq that killed one of Iran’s top generals. Trump promised to obliterate all of America’s enemies and America was feared.

Our enemies feel they have the upper hand now. Iran publicly threatened America a day before Joe Biden was set to arrive in Israel. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s adviser, Mohammad-Javad Larijani of the Axis of Resistance, issued a warning to America that aiding Israel “would be a strategic mistake” and would make it a “legitimate target for the resistance fighters in the entire region” He ominously uttered that “the war will not be limited to Gaza” and said “in the near future, America’s presence in Syria and Iraq will be very costly for them.”

America’s enemies are growing bolder under Biden’s weak leadership. A nation divided cannot stand strong.

Yellen: We Can Certainly Afford Two Wars


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics RE-Posted Oct 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen does not live in reality. She is not a trusted source of information but rather a Deep State puppet who pushes propaganda unsuccessfully. Yellen wants you to believe that America’s economy is stronger than ever with unlimited funds for all besides the actual citizens who pay taxes. When asked if America could fund two major wars, Yellen told Sky News, “Absolutely!”

“America can certainly afford to stand with Israel and to support Israel’s military needs, and we also can and must support Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. The American economy is doing extremely well,” Yellen said. The US national debt is now at $33.56 trillion with a defense budget of around $800 billion. We are funding layaway wars with no intention of ever paying back a penny to our debtors. They may strategize war, but they’re not strategizing war from an economic standpoint. China was the largest purchaser of US debt but they have been abandoning US debt and the dollar entirely.

Yellen called the US debt downgrade “arbitrary” when Fitch Ratings downgraded US long-term debt late from AAA to AA+. The agency cited the debt ceiling negotiations and frequent government shutdowns as one of the reasons for the downgrade, and this was prior to the US losing its Speaker of the House for the first time in history. Another reason is simply that China is disinvesting in the dollar.

The $2 billion sent to Israel is merely the beginning since the full-scale war has not yet begun. The two wars will merge into one when other nations become involved. Israel could easily defeat Palestine on its own without foreign aid. But once the major players like China and Russia intervene it will take the full force and funding of NATO. War has become the #1 economic priority for America’s politicians. “We” do not want to fund any wars but have no say in the matter since the elections are rigged, the data is inaccurate, and the truth is concealed by lie after lie.

Prosecution of Trump Starts Global Contagion Using Criminal Charges to Prevent Elections


Armstrong Economics Blog/Latin America Re-Posted Oct 17, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

As we head into 2032, the United States has shown the world that you can rig elections using criminal law. I reported how Argentina was bringing criminal charges against the opposition simply for saying, do not save pesos because the currency is collapsing. Thus, the government has turned that comment into a crime. In Brazil, the leftist government is desperate to stop former president Jair Bolsonaro, alleging that he was the mentor of “a wilful and premeditated coup attempt.”

Our models on South America, which we will review at the WEC in November, point to civil unrest and even a Panic Cycle in 2025 in Brazil. Our target of 2023 for a Directional Change has appeared on time both in Brazil as well as in Israel. Brazil is divided like most countries today. The polarization is severe, and the government is DESPERATE, to say the least, just like the Biden Administration. The 2024 US election will NEVER be accepted domestically or internationally. This is the total collapse of Republican forms of government as we head into 2032.

Even in Israel, many question whether Israel has become a vassal state for the American Neocons who only seek war and constantly promote confrontation in the Middle East. Some have been asking if Israel is being used like Ukraine. At least in Ukraine, nearly 10 million people have fled, and Zelensky has suspended all elections. Is the decision of Zelensky to wage war against Russia really in the best interest of the Ukrainian people? A lot of people are starting to question governments on a global scale. Post-2024, we are headed into the collapse of confidence in governments around the world.

Those attending will also receive a hardcover first edition of The De-Dollarization book.

It’s Only a War Crime When Russia Does It


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 16, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The people stuck in Gaza will suffer. Israel and Hamas are using the Palestinian people as bargaining chips. Energy Minister Israel Katz said that there will be no humanitarian aid to Gaza until Hamas releases the Israeli hostages. “No electrical switch will be turned on, no water hydrant will be opened and no fuel truck will enter until the Israeli abductees are returned home,” he urged.

This is merely fighting terrorism with additional acts of terror. Israel’s allies are in full support. Yet, Russia’s attack on Ukraine’s infrastructure was considered a war crime by the international community. “Cutting off men, women and children of water, electricity and heating with winter coming – these are acts of pure terror,” EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said last October. Europe is following America’s lead and blindly pledging full support to Israel and becoming embedded in a conflict that is not their own.

Von Der Leyen visited Israel shortly after US Neocon Antony Blinken. “You may be strong enough on your own to defend yourself, but as long as America exists, you will never, ever have to. We will always be there by your side”, Blinken said at a joint press conference in Tel Aviv with Netanyahu.

This will not be a quick war. The West is now funding two major conflicts at a time when the global economy is hurting. Will Israel begin receiving blank checks like Ukraine?

Oddly enough, the man who was considered a war criminal by the international community has offered to mediate the situation. Putin said that a ground offensive in Gaza would be disastrous. “And most importantly, civilian casualties will be absolutely unacceptable. There are almost two million people living there,” Russia’s president stated. “The most important thing now is to stop the bloodshed.” We would truly be living in unprecedented times if Putin held peace talks in the Middle East. It seems clear who the real warmongers are now.

Secretary Blinken Tells Joe Biden He’s Going to Israel on Wednesday


Posted originally on the CTH on October 16, 2023 | Sundance

The agenda here is transparently obvious.

♦ First, there is no strategic benefit to Israel from a Joe Biden visit.  ♦ Second, notice how there was no advanced notice when Biden visited Kiev, Ukraine. Yet here, with a real backdrop of violence, a Biden visit to Israel is announced in advance.  ♦ Third, think about the extensive planning and security measures that are traditionally taken for these types of trips; the absence of which, underlines the urgency of motive.

Next, consider the devastating recent polls showing Biden collapsing in every state that matters.  President Trump is crushing Joe Biden, as the American people can feel and see the terrible consequences of Biden policy.  Then, overlay the recent CBS (60 minutes effort), to cast Joe Biden as a victim of circumstance.  Lastly, there is ideological benefit in buying more time for the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas).   What motive do we discover in the factual alignment of data?

The people behind Joe Biden are sending him to Israel for (1) part of a rebranding effort; and (2) to impede Netanyahu and buy time for Hamas.

The people behind Biden (Obama network) are also pushing Biden into a meeting in Egypt.  **ahem**  Exactly as I outlined the agenda.  Biden is going to the international summit to determine the future of the Palestinian people terrorists and put pressure on Egypt.

Joe Biden finds out he’s going to a real war zone, not Ukraine.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will travel to Israel this week, putting himself in harm’s way to show that he stands squarely with the country as it reels from Hamas’ surprise attack and prepares a ground invasion meant to wipe out the militant group on its border.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the trip — the president’s second foray into an active war zone this year, having traveled to Ukraine in February under the tightest secrecy.

Biden is expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders during the trip, which may also include a visit to neighboring Egypt. U.S. officials have been discussing with Egypt ways to get humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians in Gaza caught up in Israel’s siege of the densely populated territory. (read more)

♦ PS. It was 3:15am in Israel when this Blinken announcement was made. 

See things as they are, not as the media pretends them to be.

Did Israel Know About the Attack?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 16, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

If this were a similar situation to 9/11, that would mean that the government was involved and allowed innocent civilians to die to promote an agenda. A false flag to create a global conflict. House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) claims that Egypt notified Israel of a potential incoming strike from Hamas. Israel denies the claim entirely.

“We do know the Egyptian intelligence did refer this to Israel. And I can’t get into any more depth than that. But I do think there was a threat-stream out there. It was a failure of intelligence,” McCaul stated. In fact, he claims that Hamas had been planning an invasion for over a war. “When the Egyptians did warn Israeli officials, obviously, there wasn’t enough done to stop it. This concerns me not just with respect to Hamas, but what about our intelligence on Hezbollah? What about our intelligence on Iran? They say there’s no clear link to Iran. I disagree with that,” He stated. An anonymous source claiming to be an Egyptian intelligence official cleared McCaul’s claims. “We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” the official told the Associated Press.

Egypt has told both the US and Israel that they will not engage in war. Egypt denied President Biden’s request to send troops into Gaza. The nation is now fortifying its border with Palestine to prevent those fleeing from entering. Cairo has requested that Israel cease air raids over the Rafah crossing that connects Gaza and Egypt so that the innocent may escape.

Regardless, how did Hamas penetrate the Iron Dome? Israel has one of the most secure airspaces and officials know when even a fly passes into its area. Anyone who has been to the Israeli airport will tell you how strict security has become. Are we to believe Hamas with a far less advanced military acted alone?

Odd that the US announced mere days before the attack an open Visa program with Israel “to enhance the security of the United States and partner countries while encouraging legitimate travel and commerce.” Something about this entire situation does not add up. At best, Hamas found a weakness within Israel’s defense system and Israeli intelligence agencies failed to adhere to warnings.
