NATO’s Vision for 2030 – War, War, War


Armstrong Economics Blog/NATO Re-Posted Jun 25, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

This is the opening to NATO’s vision for 2030. They recognize that with the passage of time, they are losing relevance. This is behind this entire Ukrainian expansion of war. It is also not just the Neocon’s dream of a lifetime; it is the last-ditch effort to make NATO relevant for the next two generations to come. As I have mentioned, they had my Congressman call me asking if I would get back involved in Washington. I declined. When I asked why were they constantly bothering me to return, I was actually told that they lacked people with my experience from the Cold War. That was prior to 1991. This illustrates the problem. With the passage of time, the current generations do not view NATO as it was when Communism was a threat. This is NATO’s crisis – they need to remain relative or they are all out of a job.

Here is the download of their vision for 2030, which interestingly coincides with Schwab’s date for his Great Reset, and take notice that the authors of this are from John Hopkins University – the same one that said we would all die from COVID with a vaccine. Small, small world. I suppose they were all singing that song after taking the Disney ride in their park and said that was a great idea. NATO’s vision is to We Only Bomb for Peace and their Speciality is Turning Plowshares into Swords for the Betterment of Humanity.

This Nato 2030 vision necessitates maintaining the threat of war to keep their funding going indefinitely. They are the great unelected body that threatens the livelihood of the world and is now extracting tax revenues without representation from 31 countries. Peace is not profitable – only death & destruction: Nato’s Speciality.

“NATO remains the United States’ indispensable alliance and Europe’s guarantor of peace, security, and stability. It is the largest
and most successful alliance in history and is the preeminent institutional expression of the transatlantic bond and a common commitment
to shared values. Yet, it is again under pressure. NATO faces simultaneous dangers to its east, to its south, and from a series of security
challenges unbounded by geography, at a time when some Allies have stepped away from their own commitments to democracy and to each
other. These internal tensions may be as consequential as external dangers to NATO’s cohesion and effectiveness.

NATO’s opportunity is to move ahead to address these challenges and others looming in the future, rather than to harken back to some
imagined era of greater allied harmony. A fresh narrative for NATO is also important to engage a new generation of citizens and leaders who
do not view the Alliance through the twin lenses of the Cold War and Afghanistan. They want to know why NATO is relevant for the future,
not why it was important in the past. “

Russian Coup & Civil War


Armstrong Economics Blog/Russia Posted Jun 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty, Socrates has simply outdone itself. You warned that Putin could face a coup by May/June 2023. That was a year ago. Nobody can beat Socrates, as you said at the WEC, not even you. Your gift to humanity is why they hate you so much.

Take care, my friend. We really do need you now.

Pete

REPLY: Yes, I know. This gives me no joy to pound my chest. We live not just in interesting times, but treacherous times as well. Everywhere I look, I see the same patterns of Rome reemerging over and over again. There will come a time that even the US Military will split and some will realize that the enemy is really within.

Putin’s speech is historic for he mentions “treason” and “mutiny” twice, but notice that he now explains that Russia is “fighting hard for its future”, implying that indeed it is at war with the United States and NATO that wants to see every Russian annihilated from the face of the Earth. I suppose it is no longer WOKE to go after people of race or gender confusion, so they have turned their sheer hatred against the Russian people which is still the same rooted hatred in bigotry.

Putin has also labeled the immediate events as an “internal mutiny” and a “stab in the back”, mentioning “Wagner” and said he is “doing anything I can to repel this attack.” This is the coup where Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, is leading this coup just as Roman generals did during the 3rd century. Prigozhin has said that Putin made the ‘wrong choice’ and soon Russia will have a ‘new president’ which is clearly a coup.

I have confirmed reports from multiple sources that Wagner’s forces and perhaps others who have defected are heading to Moscow. Additional reports are coming in that the Russian airforce is now attacking Wagner’s forces. Members of Wagner are now saying that the trigger for a CIVIL WAR was pulled by Putin. There does appear to be a major coup attempt that is emerging into civil war.

If we use the ECM from the day the Soviet Union flag was replaced with the Russian flag on December 25th, 1991, we reach the critical Pi Target on May 26th, 2023. Historically, that is where the worse part of the chaos begins to unfold going into the peak which in this case will be 2039. All the propaganda and demonizing of Putin to justify war is coming back in the face of those spouting this nonsense. This is a civil war unfolding as I have been warning. Their view is not that Putin is this demon, but he has been too “soft” and the military views that this war would have been over in 6 weeks had Russia attacked Ukraine as the US did to Iraq instead of just defending the Donbas. Replace Putin and we get World War III.

Lindsey Graham does not support the Constitution of the United States. When it came to the alleged terrorists, he wanted to deny them a lawyer. If an American was taken prisoner by a foreign enemy and denied human rights, he would be the first to champion an invasion. I lost all respect for Graham when he refused to comply with international law.

Here is Graham cheering that it’s the best money the US has ever spent to kill Russians. If it were Americans in the Donbas, the US would also be there to defend them in a civil war had it been instigated by Russia. This is a sick individual who takes pleasure in killing Russians. This is how Americans are being viewed because we elect such people. From overseas, the opinions of Americans are becoming one of the sheer warmongers who will sacrifice all of Europe to kill Russians. Macron of France is urging Europe to distance itself from the United States thanks to people like Graham.

From the outset, Graham has done nothing but preach war on Capital Hill. The Ukrainians do not live in the Donbas. They are NOT fighting for their freedom – that is all such BS. They are seeking to kill Russians and outlaw their religion and language. This is a territorial action – not for freedom, democracy, or justice.

Now we have Graham desperate to start World War III. He simply hates the Russian people. They are no longer Communists trying to spread Marxism. Putin never made on step to try to reconquer Eastern Europe. The Russian people do not want such a war. Nevertheless, all we have heard from Graham is more and more war.

Graham is perfectly willing to sacrifice every Ukrainian as long as they take a Russian with them. Over 8 million have fled to other countries. 3 million have fled back to Russia.

Graham and McCain met with the Ukrainian Nazis and cheered them on to go kill Russians. The problem Graham has is that statistically, even up to 10x the number of civilians are killed compared to soldiers.

Neocons have been around for centuries. They may lament when it is time to die, but that will mean nothing. They obviously do not believe in God or any last judgment or they would not do what they do.

To our Russian Readers

Graham does NOT represent the average American any more than his painting Russians are all Evil is true about the Russian people. Putin is correct. You are indeed fighting for the very survival of Russia as a sovereign state. Many sought to conquer Russia from Hitler and Napoleon while Stalin rejected Lenin’s idea and demanded authoritarian rule. Many have sought to invade Russia all for the wealth of your nation. Graham will probably be remembered for his hatred when the history books are written on this period into 2032. WHY SOME JUST ALWAYS WANT WAR IS ONE OF THE DARK SPECTS I SUPPOSE OF HUMANITY REGARDLESS OF THEIR NATIONALITY.

The Collapse in Confidence of US Government is Here


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jun 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Despite the cheering from the Washington Post, CNN, NY Times, the rest of the anti-Democracy press, and all the Democrats who were brainwashed into thinking Trump really won only because of Putin in the Hillary version of conspiracy theory (misinformation), what they have unleashed is the international collapse in confidence of the United States. Ever since Trump’s arrest, my phone has been in meltdown mode. People who were even on the fence about my case suddenly called and said gee, they use the criminal law for political purposes in the United States. Once upon a time, they trusted the United States. It seems that Trump’s arrest is now a sea-change in realization.

People are starting to wake up. The list of people they go after criminally who are whistleblowers in some capacity like Snowden and Julian Assange is just the tip of the iceberg. Criminally charging Trump was crossing the Rubicon. Then the Democrats stated that Biden will not debate anyone – Democrat or Republican. That is in itself a confirmation that he is not competent to be president. Yet he is the perfect patsy for the Neocons to run the show. When Lindsey Graham holds up a sheet and quotes Biden as authority for him and his fellow Neocons to declare war on Russia, it confirms what I have been saying. The United States is no longer a free nation. We are living in a coup, but the press is silent as was the press in every such incident from Communist Russia to Venezuela when the state turns against its people.

So, the Democrats who do not care about the Constitution or our future as a nation can cheer that this is your time to utterly destroy the other 50% of Americans who you despise so deeply. You will win the 2024 election if Biden can make it that far, and every investigation into him and Hunter will be blocked by the Department of Justice, FBI, and the NSA because this is now about the power resting in the hands of the Neocons who just want war. So pack your toothbrush, you will get to fight Russians in Ukraine and put your political dreams on the line.

These leftist zealots are cheering the end times like the Romans who they said were still laughing when the barbarians stormed the gates. For EVERY phone call I have had from Asia to Europe, they are all expressing complete shock that the United States is collapsing in the midst of political corruption. Suddenly, our forecast that the 2024 election might not even take place or certainly will not be real is starting to hit home. They are now all seeing that our forecast about the 2024 Presidential Election would be the most corrupt in history and mark the END of democracy in the United States is not so far-fetched.

These leftist people just do not get it. They crossed the Rubicon and now the view of the United States from the outside looking in, nobody seems to believe that America is still the beacon of liberty to the world. It is becoming so obvious that our computer will be right once again.

This year 2023 was a MAJOR turning point and an important Directional Change.  You can see that 2025 is the biggest target for a decade. Announcing that Biden will not debate anyone is on par. I am warning you that the Neocons need to create war with Russia BEFORE the November 2024 election for in their mind, no president has ever lost an election during war. It will also allow them to create the excuse to suspend the election during a national crisis.

Desantis – PLEASE stay here in Florida. They will never let anyone win that office anyway. The Neocons are in charge. Stalin was correct. It does not matter who you vote for. Those who count the votes decide the election. Anyone who thinks the CIA cannot rig the election is an absolute fool.

Neocons Pushing for Nuclear War NOW!


Armstrong Economic Blog/Neocons Re-Posted Jun 23, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The most notorious Washington Neocon, Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC), and his equal Neocon on the Democratic side, Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), have introduced a Resolution in the Senate in hopes of justifying World War III stating that if Russia, or one of its Proxy Belarus just as Ukraine is our Proxy, detonates a Tactical nuclear bomb inside Ukraine, or if something happens to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant causing radiation leakage, then they want to use nuclear weapons and are saying they will completely annihilate Russia. They are calling that “an attack upon NATO” claiming that radiation would spread to Europe,  triggering a full-blown nuclear war.

So, if Russia uses a small tactical nuclear weapon, then NATO and the USA are justified in obliterating Russia where the nuclear fallout would wipe out much of Europe and spread to China. So using their logic, China would then be justified in nuking the United States.

The whole problem here is to listen to their threats. They make it sound that the West can obliterate Russia and they are somehow powerless to retaliate taking out Washington, London, Brussels, Frankfurt, Paris, Rome, and of course, the cancer destroying the world – Kyiv.

The Donbas was supposed to have a free election. It has been occupied by Russians for hundreds of years. If China invaded Guam or the Philippines, the US would likewise claim they have an obligation to protect Americans living there.

Graham is just a vile man who is consumed with hate and his mission in life is to destroy Russia at any cost even if he destroys the future of Western Civilization.

Our government NO LONGER represents the people. It represents only the Neocon agenda. Our entire future and our way of life are to be destroyed all because they hate Russians and want to kill every last one of them. It is Ukraine invading the Donbas occupied by Russians for centuries – not the other way around.

Meanwhile, that nuclear plant they claim if it leaks any radiation Graham wants to use that as the excuse to start World War III. Russia captured that early during the war. Obviously, they should now turn it off, and export the uranium back to Russia since that is now an excuse to start World War III. South Carolina, if you do not demand to impeach Lindsey Graham, you are going to be responsible for the destruction of Western Civilization.

The House Ways and Means Committee held a press conference after a vote to release information from an IRS whistleblower that showed the U.S. Justice Department involved in an effort to protect Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, from outcomes related to his illegal money laundering operation.

According to the accusations, the money laundering was done in an effort to hide Hunter and Joe Biden selling influence and accepting payments from foreign government sources.  The allegations include, the Dept of Justice and FBI led by AG Merrick Garland and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco, interfered in the investigation in order to protect the Biden administration.  WATCH:

“Today, the Ways and Means Committee voted to make public the testimony of IRS employees blowing the whistle on misconduct at the IRS and the Biden Department of Justice regarding unequal enforcement of tax law, interference and government abuse in the handling of investigations into criminal activity by President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and retaliation against IRS employees blowing the whistle on this abuse.”

UN’s Plan to Rule the World – The Summit for the Future & End of Individualism


Armstrong Economics Blog/WEF Re-Posted Jun 23, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Klaus Schwab is a control freak in how he runs the World Economic Forum. Make a single mistake and you are in trouble. Schwab seeks perfection and he is taking those ideas and seeking to indoctrinate the entire world. He has his young global leaders infiltrating governments around the world as we saw in New Zealand and Trudeau who has been a one-man invasion to utterly destroy Canada once and for all and seeks to terminate its energy production.

But behind all these efforts and slogans that you will own nothing and be happy which has sent Blackrock off into buying private homes with the objective to own everything and fulfill Schwab’s agenda ensuring the average person will own nothing, Schwab’s agenda is far more sinister than most realize. He is perhaps the worst Marxist in history for he is strategically assaulting our way of life knowing that pushing the WOKE equality agenda has a specific goal of dividing society into groups to fight among ourselves while he and his authoritarian lords are scheming against everything that makes worth living and to terminate our independence and even our human rights.

Schwab’s plan is now being fully adopted by the United Nations. They have embraced the system developed by the World Economic Forum (WEF), which is outlined in three new policy briefs from the UN titled, “A Global Digital Compact, Reforms to the International Financial Architecture, and The Future of Outer Space Governance.

The sinister goal is to advance the United Nations as the new world government. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s “vision for the future” is ultimate control and the daring scheme to monitor everyone just as Schwab does inside his WEF. This is Officially titled “Our Common Agenda,” where Guterres’ “vision” is to be given the green light in September 2024 during an event dubbed, “The Summit for the Future.” The UN describes this goal to control the entire world as “an open, free, secure and human-centered digital future.”

From the very beginning, the United Nations has seen itself as eventually becoming the one-world government power. They rejected the idea of freedom and viewed that they needed to control society for “unrestricted individualism is equally erroneous” so we are to be treated worse than a student in high school who must ask permission to go the bathroom.

The United Nations/WEF wants now to not just create a Digital ID for every person on the planet, but eliminating all paper currency means that every person on the planet must also have a bank account.  Schwab and the United Nations now want all Digital IDs linked with the bank or mobile money accounts. They argue that this will improve the delivery of social protection coverage and serve to better reach eligible beneficiaries. At the same time, it will track every individual on the planet. Do we donate to their opposition and have our accounts frozen like Trudeau did to anyone who donated to the Truckers?

They claim that Digital technologies will eliminate crime. How do you pay a prostitute or buy illegal drugs? But how do you pay the 16-year-old girl who just babysat your kids when you and your wife went to a show? So the homeless who are mentally ill will probably be imprisoned if they do not have a bank account – for their own safety of course. In the town I grew up in, we had what you called a bag lady. She pushed her shopping cart around and slept in doorways. When people found out she had a son who was a doctor in the next town, they were outraged. When she died, there was over $200,000 in cash in that shopping cart. Still, she preferred the homeless life.

Both Schwab and now UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres both speak in lock-step about basically regulating the global digital future and they see themselves as those on top who do the regulating of the scum people beneath them. We are no longer human beings, but we are seen as a plague of rodents, and the herd needs to be thinned out.

Of course, Schwab and his WEF along with the United Nations are all UNELECTED organizations seeking to rule the world using phrases such as “international cooperation” and Schwab’s favorite “stakeholders” who will come to surrender all our rights to them all so they can advance principles, objectives, and actions that they see as their globalist agenda to rule the world.

This digital future as envisaged by Schwab and the United Nations is going to be quite the opposite of open, free, or human-centric, however. You cannot have “unrestricted individualism is equally erroneous” and it must be one policy fits all. Is this not what Kiev is trying to impose on the Dondas outlawing their language and freedom of religion? This authoritarian UN “vision” for a future global financial system, is supposed to be harmonized the entire world with Schwab’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The problem is that communism collapsed because all advancement of society comes from the ground up – not from centralized authoritarian control.

This became self-evident in the 1959 famous kitchen debate between Nixon and Khrushchev. The entire advancement of everything came from human innovation and curiosity. Those are qualities that are not possible by the government. Nevertheless, all the lessons that Marxism failed are overlooked because these people seek absolute control over our lives. The world is to be ruled by something they call “the apex body” they intend to establish. Both Rome revolted in 509BC and overthrew such a body as did Athens in 508BC.

After Athens revolted and established Democracy in 508BC overthrowing what the UN and Schwab want to recreate – the Thirty Tyrants. Athens eventually collapsed in 404BC – two 51.6-year ECM cycles later. Nothing lasts forever. The Thirty Tyrants were the dream of Sparta. Athens was conquered by the ancient Communist State – Sparta, which never issued coins keeping with their rejection of private property just as Schwab is proposing and Blackrock is carrying out – you will own nothing and be happy.

Sparta rejected individualism just as the UN and Schwab’s WEF and they never issued coinage using these spit iron rods. This is the same agenda that Schwab and his WEF, the United Nations, and all Schwab’s young global leaders are pushing for – the elimination of all paper money and moving to digital where they can control every aspect of our entire lives.

The key actors here would be the UN chief, as well as the Group of 20 (Tyrants), the Economic and Social Council, and “heads of international financial institutions” which will establish complete and ultimate control over everything. This is the bottom line “vision” of the United Nations and their “Global Digital Compact.”

What they are conspiring behind our backs and mainstream media will NOT explain, is their sinister and evil objective to have people, devices, and entities, all tied up in a connected network that could apparently be centrally administered by them and subordinated to this unelected group of self-anointed bureaucrats.

Where is Joe McCarthy when we really need him? Schwab and the United States are actively seeking to subordinate the United States and are actually planning this future scheme and do not give a second thought to any negative impact, for they care nothing about individual rights, only their desire to control civil society on a global scale.

These ideas that always support their authoritarian world rest on the fallacy that a one-world government will end the war. That is nonsense. Just look at Rome and you will see many civil wars and revolutions within a one-world government. Here is the form President of France stating openly that the entire idea of creating the European Union was to create a one-European government to end future wars.

As I have explained, Schwab is strategic. He is forming key alliances always to further his personal view of a new world order under the theories of Karl Marx.  Schwab’s WEF has just partnered with a leading biometrics company to advance its own agenda to digitize humanity. Swedish biometrics company Fingerprint Cards has taken a big step into the WEF’s New Champions Community, an assembly of mid-sized enterprises.

Schwab wants to track absolutely every person on the planet and this is behind his promotion of biometric forms of digital ID and claims the technology would serve as a new great steward of humanity to eliminate inequality. We are to allow someone so sinister to be able to hack our minds to create “social inclusion?” Schwab’s Dr. Yuval Noah Harari, who when the history books are written on this endeavor, will perhaps go down alongside Hitler’s Dr. Josef Mengele (1911-1979) where Hitler sought to also create the perfect race.

This Dr. Yuval Noah Harari admits that the tyrants of history lacked the technology to hack humans but it now exists. Charles Burgeat, Senior Vice President of Strategy at Fingerprint Cards, actually said:

“As a proud member of the WEF New Champions Community program, we want to be recognized as a purpose-driven company that contributes positively to the changes needed to operate in the new digitalized world. By joining this Community, we look forward to brainstorming and exchanging ideas with peers, and bring our expertise of the biometrics industry.”

Fingerprint Cards have been losing money and it hopes by adopting the WEF agenda to hack individuals, it will become profitable. The idea is you cannot use a phone or access any bank account without your fingerprint.

Schwab does not believe in Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand. He does not understand why Marxism collapsed because it rejected not just religion, but also humanity. The individual was to be eradicated and children were taught that the biological parents were not real – the state was their true parent.

Individualism is evil. We are to be zombies that are nothing more than biological robots. Even the movie ‘The Matrix’ created a fictional world in which people still made choices. Schwab does not believe that we can be trusted to make our own decisions. To those who have been conditioned to just hate Donald Trump, look at this next clip from the London Financial Times. This explains that it was in 2016 when Trump was elected that they all came to the conclusion that we could no longer be trusted to vote. Democracy suddenly became Populism and it had to be eradicated. You now see this agenda of Schwab’s WEF and the United Nations and what they are really seeking to eliminate – your independence.

Sign of the Times


Armstrong Economics Blog/ECM Re-Posted Jun 22, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The picture of our times is without question quite depressing certainly on a moral foundation if not on the material side as well. Our government has been seized by the Neocons who care nothing about the welfare of the state, only to bring death and destruction to their personal hated enemies. Every line that we read brings to mind the sad state of our future and the fact that the nation has fallen cascading into evil times.

First and foremost remains the outright moral deterioration domestically by companies rushing to jump on the WOKE bandwagon polarizing the nation and making discrimination against the gay community far worse than at any point in history. Perhaps the worst of all was Disney – a company that was supposed to care about children has turned into an evil empire that seeks to undermine the relationship that binds a family together.

I grew up with a boy who ended up being gay. We all played together. He did not know he was gay until puberty hit. Disney taking a stand to teach young children even about transgender is bordering on child abuse as a pedophile would talk about sex with a child. Disney’s new Pixar Movie ‘Elemental’ opened with the worse Box Office day in history – $29.6M. Public companies making political decisions violates their fiduciary duty and is polarizing the nation.

People are dumping stocks of those who have been endorsing this WOKE agenda and Disney is perhaps the worst of all for they are advocating indoctrinating children. Disney peaked back in February at around 113 and has fallen to about $87 – a 23% decline thanks to WOKE. Even the Washington Post is losing money and is starting to lay off people – probably anyone who has any independent thought is the first to go. It may be very dangerous to have WOKE stocks in your portfolio.

Add to this domestic upheaval dividing the country deeply, and we have the most corrupt and wretched Ukrainian War, which was begun in the pure spirit of Neocon hatred, greed, and ambition. This Ukrainian war began with foreign mercenaries volunteering only to return remarking how corrupt Ukraine really is to the point that American weapons are vanishing and being sold on the black market.  The lies of Zelensky have persisted shrouded in raw hatred and he refuses to negotiate peace rendering any reasonable solution hopeless. The greed of companies like Blackrock cheering on the deaths of hundreds of thousands and the more destruction the more profit they see in their eyes.

Year after year men and money had been lavished on the war to no effect and when the final catastrophe becomes apparent, World War III, Zelensky and his Ukrainians will be cheering but fail to understand that they will never again have their own country. You do not agree to be a proxy war for the United States and survive. The Neocons will bleed Ukraine dry economically and reduce its population. Zelensky has come out with the standard NEOCON propaganda that if Ukraine loses, Russia will then go take all of Eastern Europe. Russia has only taken the Donbas and could have utterly destroyed Ukraine just as the US did to Iraq. They did not destroy the power grid, the water supply, or the communications which has allowed Zelensky to plead to the world as if he is Joan of Arc in drag with his stiletto high heels. Russia has never had any interest in invading Eastern Europe or Western Europe and they have had more than 30 years to do so.

This is just standard Neocon propaganda and Zelensky spouts out the same nonsense. On top of that, Zelensky is telling Israel that they can stop the Iranian drones by starting an open war against Iran. So what if a few million people die? Zelensky is a psychopath when it comes to other people’s deaths. This Ukrainian government cares nothing for peace. They live and breathe nothing but hatred.

“If any candidate thinks supporting Ukraine is too costly, are they ready to go to war? Are they ready to fight? Send their children? Die?” Zelenskyy said. “They will have to do it anyway if NATO enters this war, and if Ukraine fails and Russia occupies us, they will move on to the Baltics or Poland or some other NATO country. And then the U.S. will have to choose between keeping NATO or entering the war.”

This Ukrainian War has weakened and destroyed the global economy. You now have IRAN and CHINA both pushing their alternatives to SWIFT. Besides ending world peace and the global economy, it has escalated inflation on a grand scale. The NEOCONS care nothing about the living standard of the people nor the economy going forward. They care even less about American or European livelihoods. Zelensky’s administration is purely evil people no different from the Nazis put on trial at Nuremberg.

The NEOCONS are manipulating society to achieve their personal goals no different than the Nazis. Goring’s remark at the Nuremberg Trial should be a warning to all of us for this is the same strategy being used by the NEOCONS to whip us up into World War III.

At home, the bulwarks of social order seemed to crumble away. Private wars, riots, open highway robbery, murder, abduction, and armed resistance to the law, prevailed on a scale that had been unknown since World War II around the world. The satellite evidence has suggested that the Trudeau government in Canada and his WEF climate change zealots have endorsed/created a false flag by setting Quebec on fire all to blame climate change to further get people to surrender their future to the WEF’s indoctrinated fools.

Everywhere we turn, people are creating insurmountable obstacles to world peace and the advancement of society both economically as well as geopolitically. We are headed to the destruction of the world economy as we know it. What we are headed into is an opportunity to remake the world into our vision of freedom – not Schwab’s vision of totalitarianism of Marxism. But in the process, all Western sovereign debt will default and from the ashes, China will replace the USA as the next financial capital of the world. BLACKROCK – kiss your ass goodbye and take your idol Schwab with you!

Forecasts & the ECM


Armstrong Economics Blog/ECM Re-Posted Jun 23, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Hello,
I remember you writing more than once last fall that the week of Nov 9th was targeted by the computer for something significant. That week was the elections, which I think everyone focused on. However, FTX also collapsed that week, which is pretty significant. You have yet to take credit for this great prediction.
Thank you so much for your work, you are a true humanitarian.
Respectfully submitted,
SL

REPLY: These forecasts are not my personal opinion. There are just so many such forecasts it becomes overwhelming to try to point out every single one when the model is covering the entire world. I am working diligently to do the book on the Economic Confidence Model and all I can hope is that with a track record of such forecasts since the 1970s, just maybe, people will open their eyes and understand we cannot manipulate society for political gain when we are all connected. No politicians can eliminate unemployment when the world is in a depression.

I am trying to document the turning points historically. I have gathered all the people who have discovered cycles in EVERY field. Only is economics has cycles been rejected because economists and politicians want to pretend they can manipulate the world. That is what Klaus Schwab is trying to do right now.

I hope to have this book out with the first edition for the attendees of the WEC com November.

Dutch Study on Banning Investors from Buying Real Estate


Armstrong Economics Blog/Real Estate Re-Posted Jun 22, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Dutch researchers at the University of Amsterdam and Erasmus released a study entitled “Buy-to-Live vs. Buy-to-Let: The Impact of Real Estate Investors on Housing Costs and Neighborhoods.” The study examined a legal Dutch ban on buy-to-let or rental investments. Researchers studied home prices, sales, and the demographics of residents in areas with this law. “Our results suggest rental investors influence local housing conditions primarily through changing the residential composition of neighborhoods rather than direct house price effects,” the study stated.

The winners here were first-time homebuyers in the middle class. Yet, home sales and prices remained stagnant. Again, we must remember this is an INVENTORY crisis. Mortgage rates in the Netherlands declined from 2008 to 2021, falling to a record low of 1.65%. Rates spiked over the past two years and are now around the 5% range. So like America, those who bought at low rates are less likely to sell now. There are also programs in the Netherlands that enable borrowers to borrow 100% of the property’s value.

“The ban has successfully increased middle-income households’ access to homeownership, at the expense of buy-to-let investors. However, the policy also drove up rents in affected neighborhoods, thereby damaging housing affordability for individuals reliant on private rental housing, undermining some of the intentions of the law,” the study found. It is really as simple as supply and demand – fewer rental properties will push up the prices of rentals on the market. However, less competition enables people to enter the housing market and own their homes, gaining equity, tax breaks, and security.

We see who funded the study. They want to normalize permanent renting as we go toward Agenda 2030 and 15-minute cities. The study mentions gentrification numerous times. Another university-based study also condemned private homeownership in support of the institutions. The University of Oxford produced “Keeping Up with the Blackstones: Institutional Investors and Gentrification,” which is an alarmingly racist study. This particular study found that institutional investors caused rentals and housing prices to rise, but they said that was a benefit because it increased “neighborhood diversity.” Let us be reminded that the majority of the population anywhere is not a minority by definition. The study is skewed completely.

“The reason for increased diversity is that some minorities benefit from the relaxation of borrowing constraints as a result of higher house prices and take out mortgages for home improvement, increasing the attractiveness of their homes; other minorities move in because more rental properties become available as institutional ownership crowds out predominantly white individual home ownership,” researchers at Oxford stated, noting that crowding out predominantly white individuals, and therefore the majority of the population, was a positive result.

Institutions frequently cite diversity as part of their mission statements. Freddie Mac did it when talking about ADUs, and BlackRock consistently talks about providing housing for minorities in the name of diversity. Read between the lines – they simply want to profit on rentals and block the majority from homeownership. This has nothing to do with gentrification or race, which is always something cited as a virtuous plight when in fact it is in itself racist to think someone could not afford a home based on their race. They try to divide us in any way they can. These mega institutions and the studies they fund want to shrink the middle class and divide us into the haves and have-nots.
