The Revenge of Martin Armstrong


Armstrong Economics Blog/Armstrong in the Media

Posted Jan 30, 2018 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; What is the catch? Why do you do everything you do with no charge. What is the hook? Nobody does something for nothing.

ANSWER: I get that question often. First I am paying back all the support everyone has shown to me and my family. Secondly; It is my greatest revenge against the evil power in banks of New York, the mainstream press, CFTC, and SEC all conniving against the public for the benefit of maintaining their power. Even a journalist at Bloomberg asked me: How did you do this? Nobody ever comes back! Naturally, that was never printed.

So the press conspires with government and the banks to try to prevent people from listening because of my experience. I do not care. They are all engaged in trying to maintain the evil powers that occupy New York City in the elite status quo. What they do is always for themselves against the best interests of society and the nation. They are the very reason the power base is moving from the West to the East. They are the catalyst for the demise of the West when corruption takes control and we lose all our freedoms. They even tried to kill me. I was in a coma for several days but survived to their shock and regret. No fear! I will have the last laugh.

If I was 30 or 40 still trying to claw my way to the top when you are still hungry and out for money, then that is one thing. Those are the people taking what I do and repackaging it pretending it is theirs. That alone warns you not to trust such people who have not an original thought in the heads. When you have reached the top and money is no longer an issue, then you have a different view of life.

What do you leave behind to even show you once existed? Everything that I have been through has been a training course for what I do today. Yes, there has to be a cost for the Socrates Project because I am not going to be around forever. If you want that to continue, then people who are there to maintain the clients have to earn a living. We keep the prices modest for the general public to have access. That was my pledge. Of course, portfolio and global correlations models are for the institutions who have different sets of problems.

When I was on my government sabbatical, a former client of mine Conrad Black who owned a large Canadian press organization was thrown in prison really for political reasons. He began to write from prison and he was publishing it in the Canadian press. I thought that was a good idea. I told them I wanted to write. They could not deny me that since it was a First Amendment issue. They thought they would prevent me stating I could write, but I was not allowed to earn money.

Of course, that was illegal. I could have petitioned a judge but judges are so corrupt in Federal Courts the odds of one ever ruling against the government is very low. When I petitioned the federal courts for medical attention, two judges denied me – Judge Renee Marie Bumb and Judge John F. Keenan. They both refused to order that I be taken to a real doctor. You cannot get lower than that on the scale of humanity. The only regret of far too many federal judges is they cannot still order you beheaded or put to the rack. They miss the good old days when they could say – Off with his head! Oh, there are always exceptions, but in the Judiciary, they are exceedingly rare.

I really did not care about the money. I did not need it anyway. So I began to write. I ended up with a readership of over 600,000. When they tried to shut me up, they were inundated with letters and phone calls. Even the Congressional House Banking Committee staff got involved and sent a letter demanding an investigation regarding my treatment.

Many would write and thank me for what I was doing and one said that they felt terrible what they had done to me, but if they did not, he would never have gotten what I wrote for free since I only advised institutions and governments. I had a good laugh on that one but respected what he wrote. Others begged me to keep writing when released.

 

 

Marcus Vettor, the German filmmaker, they would never allow him to visit me.  Even the New Yorker Magazine had to threaten Washington to write on them why the press could interview terrorists but no me. Only with threats were they granted access. When I got out, he wanted to come over and just follow me around with cameras. I thought that was nuts. I asked him what was he going to film? Me brushing my teeth? So I thought I would put together a small seminar. An old employee of mine told me that I would be lucky if 25 people showed up. Nobody got big audiences anymore I was told. I thought that would be good enough for Marcus to film. To my surprise, we filled the ballroom of the Westin in Philadelphia with over 300+ people and turned away more than 300 people. I was totally surprised. When I asked people why did they fly into Philadelphia from the four corners of the world, they said the same thing. They just wanted to make sure it was really me and not someone the government put up to pretend it was me. That illustrated how people distrust government, mainstream press, and the evil powers that occupy New York like the dead spirit in some horror movie.

 

 

So that is my answer. I do this because I can. I don’t need the money which allows me to do what I want to do when I want to. I am not interested in managing money again – that’s a 7-day 24hr job. Too old for that. I live right on the beach so I can go for walks whenever I have time. So I have carved out time for myself, while still paying forward.

Socrates is my gift to all my supporters. It will be writing commentary long after I am gone as long as there is still a power grid. They demanded the code, and I would NEVER give it to people I believe are the most evil I have ever met in entire my life. People also ask why did not give it up and go home? You cannot trust such people. If you think people like that would really let you go you are a dreamer.

The only reason I was released because I got to the Supreme Court. Without that, they would have surely kept me there until I died with no trial or real lawyers. The court-appointed lawyer, David Copper, refused to file an appeal even when Judge Keenan granted the right to do so. He too just did what the government demanded. They had no choice but to release me and then told the Supreme Court the case was moot for I was no longer in contempt.

Me paying my Respect to the prison cell where Socrates Died

Socrates was a great inspiration to me personally. When he was sentenced to death he responded that it was either a migration of the soul to see all his old friends, or it was like a mid-summer night’s sleep, so peaceful not to be disturbed by a dream. He said – go ahead! Do your best!. That was my inspiration.

They could demand the code but they would NEVER honor a single word they ever said. Why should they? In public, they would NEVER admit it was the code they were after. Who was going to make them honor such words? A judge? Bloomberg News? Nobody defends you against the government. NOBDOY! That is why I said – go ahead – do you best. When someone pushes you so far you no longer fear death, you strip them of all power.

So it is my revenge. Enjoy it!

On Deck Circle – House Judiciary Chairman Goodlatte Sends Preservation Notice To FBI Director Wray…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on January 29, 2018 by

Batting Order: Chairman Nunes (aggregate IC focus) got a lead of single by strategically presenting the classified documents in a 4-pg summary form.  Next up came Chairman Chuck Grassley (FBI focus).  As Grassley questioned the FBI, Nunes stole second with release of the House Intel memo.  Grassley remains at the plate comfortably ahead in the count; while Chairman Goodlatte (Justice oversight) is on on deck circle sending signals:

Washington, D.C. — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) released the statement below regarding reports indicating that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Deputy Director Andrew McCabe will step down from his position.  Additionally, Chairman Goodlatte today sent a letter urging FBI Director Christopher Wray to preserve Mr. McCabe’s emails, and all other communications, before his official departure from the agency:

♦No-one out. ♦Nunes on second. ♦Grassley at the plate (count 3-0), ♦Goodlatte in the on deck circle and ♦Horowitz chomping Bazooka Joe ‘in the hole’ (steps to dugout).

Grassley is cleared to swing big timber.

FBI Director Chris Wray and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein Visit White House…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on January 29, 2018 by

According to most media reports the Justice Department viewed the House Intelligence Committee memo yesterday; and with Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe being removed, there’s a myriad of reasons why FBI Director Wray and Deputy AG Rosenstein could be visiting the White House.

.

Two possibilities include:

•Candidate recommendations for replacement FBI Deputy Director.
•Discussion with NSC, or OLC, about House Intel memo content/release.

Jake Tapper Has Furrowed-Brow Interview With Matt Gaetz…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on January 29, 2018 by

You can generally tell when the house of cards begins collapsing by how deep CNN’s Jake Tapper is forced to reaches into his bag of disingenuous tricks.

.

As David Mamet famously stated, in order for liberal ideologues to retain their narrow views, against mounting evidence to the contrary, they must pretend not to know a lot of things. Mr. Tapper’s default position is disingenuous, cognitive dissonance.

BREAKING: House Intelligence Committee Votes To Release The Memo….


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on January 29, 2018 by

As widely anticipated the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has voted to release the majority ‘FISA Memo’ as led by Chairman Devin Nunes.  According to reports it was a party-line vote.  The memo now goes to the executive branch for release approval.

Additionally, the politically constructed counter-memo, led by minority leader Adam Schiff, received a supportive committee vote making it available to the full house of representatives.  However, following the same procedural process as before – the Schiff Memo was not approved for public release (via executive branch), until the full house has an opportunity to review it.

Because the Schiff Memo was not released to the public; and because the committee is making Schiff follow the same rules applied to Nunes; and because the content of the approved release is adverse to Democrats corrupt interests; Adam Schiff rushed to the microphones to complain.

BREAKING and IMPORTANT – Details Surface of Senator Grassley’s Criminal Referral…


Re-Posted from the Conservative Tree House on January 29, 2018 by

Paul Sperry is breaking some news that will generally be lost on most who are not deep in the weeds; however, this news is exceptionally important and explains the back-story to why Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley called the FBI’s bluff.

(LINK)

It is important to understand what Chairman Chuck Grassley has done with the criminal referral and how he is calling out the FBI.  Taken at it’s face value, which is what the tweet does, it seems that Christopher Steele lied to the FBI by saying the “dossier” information was not shared with media, therefore the dossier was not opposition campaign research.

The intent of this FBI claim (to the FISA court) is to give the “dossier” enhanced value as source material for a FISA warrant (request for surveillance authority). However, the underlying facts behind the FBI assertion are false; and it’s not Steele making the claim.

The FBI is the entity attempting to inflate the credibility of the application by claiming  Steele never shopped the dossier, ergo it is not political opposition research.  There is ZERO evidence Steele made any such claim to the FBI. There is ample evidence from the senate testimony of Glenn Simpson (Fusion GPS) to the contrary.

Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS heavily shopped the ‘dossier’ to the media.  A big part of that shopping was putting people in contact with Christopher Steele to discuss the underlying content.   The same approach was taken to distribute the material to Senator John McCain, who sent his intermediary, David Kramer, to meet with Steele, get briefed, and then pick up a copy from Glenn Simpson.

It is the FBI who lied to the FISA Court in the application.  It is the FBI who are claiming in their FISA application the dossier was not ‘shopped’.  It is the FBI attempting to enhance the dossier credibility by making statements/claims about what Chris Steele presented to them.  It is NOT Christopher Steele making these claims. Christopher Steele knew the ‘dossier’ was being presented to media.  Christopher Steele briefed media.

Now can you see the play by Chuck Grassley?

Setting aside factual dossier authorship for a moment [as we all know Hillary Clinton and Fusion GPS, via Nellie Ohr, were the scriptwriters of the dossier content]….  Chairman Chuck Grassley knew the motive to enhance the credibility of the ‘dossier’ was within the FBI, not Christopher Steele.   So when the FBI presents the ‘dossier’ to the FISA Court and swears and affirms the story behind it, it is the FBI lying about the underlying source documents.

THAT is why Chuck Grassley took the position to say: OK, well, if the presentation of the dossier, to the FISA court, was as the FBI claims (ie. Steele made promises etc.), then the FBI needs to prosecute Christopher Steele for lying to them about it.

Chuck Grassley knows it’s not Steele lying to the FBI about the dossier origination and back-story, it’s actually the FBI lying to the FISA court.  That’s why Grassley called the FBI’s bluff.

Now does this earlier outline make more sense?

[REPOST Below from January 5th, 2018]

Yup, the walls are closing in.

In a brilliant move of strategery, Senate Judiciary Chairman, Chuck Grassley, and Senate Judiciary member, Lindsey Graham, send a criminal referral of Christopher Steele to the DOJ for investigation. But things are not what they seem…

Today Senators Grassley and Graham sent a letter of criminal referral to the Department of Justice, based on information -provided by the FBI- their investigation has uncovered.

However, the actual motive for the criminal referral is not exactly what it appears.

Highlighting two pertinent passages (emphasis mine) from the New York Times article will explain what’s really going on:

[…] Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a senior committee member, told the Justice Department they had reason to believe that a former British spy, Christopher Steele, lied to federal authorities about his contacts with reporters regarding information in the dossier, and they urged the department to investigate. The committee is running one of three congressional investigations into Russian election meddling, and its inquiry has come to focus, in part, on Mr. Steele’s explosive dossier that purported to detail Russia’s interference and the Trump campaign’s complicity.

[…] The criminal referral appears to make no assessment of the veracity of the dossier’s contents, much of which remains unsubstantiated nearly a year after it became public.

[…] Mr. Grassley’s decision to recommend criminal charges appeared likely to be based on reports of Mr. Steele’s meetings with the F.B.I., which were provided to the committee by the Justice Department in recent weeks.

It was not clear why, if a crime is apparent in the F.B.I. reports that were reviewed by the Judiciary Committee, the Justice Department had not moved to charge Mr. Steele already.

The circumstances under which Mr. Steele is alleged to have lied were unclear, as much of the referral was classified. (full article)

Can you see what is really going on here?

The criminal referral is based on FBI reports of meetings the FBI has given to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the FBI meetings with Christopher Steele.

Within those FBI reports (presented to the committee) are conflicting statements and accounts that do not align with known evidence.

The FBI is attributing claims to the meetings with Christopher Steele that do not match known evidence about the Steele Dossier and use therein.

Remember what Senator Graham said recently about his review of the evidence surrounding the Steele Dossier and how it was used, by the FBI in gaining the FISA warrant? –Refresh Memory Here–

What Grassley and Graham are now doing is forcing the DOJ to reconcile the conflicts between the FBI presentations to the judiciary committee -about the origin of, and their use of, the Steele Dossier- against known evidence.

Someone is lying.

Graham and Grassley know the motive to lie about the Steele Dossier does not necessarily belong to Christopher Steele. The motive is within the corrupt FBI.

In order to accurately prove ownership of the the falsehoods Grassley and Graham are saying: ‘If what the FBI says is true then Chris Steele is lying, because the evidence doesn’t support what the FBI previously said to us, and attributed to Christopher Steele’…

Grassley and Graham are calling the bluff of the FBI.

“Based on the information contained therein, we are respectfully referring Mr. Steele to you for investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1001, for statements the Committee has reason to believe Mr. Steele made regarding his distribution of information contained.” (link)

The “information contained therein” is the FBI presentation of statements and evidence the FBI is attributing to Christopher Steele.

By referring a criminal complaint to the DOJ the Senators are, in essence, forcing the DOJ to outline that material presentations by the FBI, to the committee, were false…. OR, that Christopher Steele is lying. The former is likely, the latter not-so-much.

Additionally, by asking Rod Rosenstein (DOJ) and Christopher Wray (FBI) to investigate the conflicting evidence and FBI statements Grassley and Graham are also providing political cover for Rosenstein and Wray to showcase the corruption within both the DOJ and the FBI.

Strategery.

The walls are closing in.

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) referred the author of the “Trump Dossier,” Christopher Steele, to the Justice Department for investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1001 for false statements investigators have reason to believe Steele made about the distribution of claims contained in the dossier.

“I don’t take lightly making a referral for criminal investigation. But, as I would with any credible evidence of a crime unearthed in the course of our investigations, I feel obliged to pass that information along to the Justice Department for appropriate review,” Grassley said. “Everyone needs to follow the law and be truthful in their interactions with the FBI. If the same actions have different outcomes, and those differences seem to correspond to partisan political interests, then the public will naturally suspect that law enforcement decisions are not on the up-and-up. Maybe there is some innocent explanation for the inconsistencies we have seen, but it seems unlikely. In any event, it’s up to the Justice Department to figure that out.”

“After reviewing how Mr. Steele conducted himself in distributing information contained in the dossier and how many stop signs the DOJ ignored in its use of the dossier, I believe that a special counsel needs to review this matter. The rule of Law depends on the government and all who work on its behalf playing by the rules themselves. I hope the Department of Justice will carefully review our letter and take appropriate action,” Graham said.

Yesterday evening, Grassley and Graham delivered to Senate Security a letter and classified memorandum for delivery to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray containing information that forms the basis of the referral.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 1001, individuals are prohibited from making false statements to the federal authorities of the United States. Grassley and Graham are referring Steele for making potentially false statements about the distribution of claims from the dossier. (LINK)

Hours After FBI Director Chris Wray Reviews House Intel Memo, Asst. FBI Director McCabe Resigns….


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on January 29, 2018 by

On Sunday night the Justice Department was granted access to view the House Intelligence Committee memo known as the ‘Nunes Memo’.  In unusual timing, last night FBI Director Christopher Wray went to the secure facility (SCIF) in the basement of the House of Representatives to view the content of the House Intel Committee memo.

Today, the FBI releases an announcement saying Deputy FBI Director Andrew “Andy” McCabe has stepped down (been removed) from his position effective immediately.

Narrative engineers immediately began applying a typical spin to the announcement away from recent discoveries of corrupt behavior of the FBI, and inferring President Trump’s admonishments of Deputy Director McCabe were the impetus for removal.

Via NBC [Andrew McCabe] … served a brief stint as acting director of the bureau after Trump fired ex-FBI chief James Comey, will remain on the payroll until March, when he is eligible to retire with full benefits, NBC said. He had been expected to leave.

Trump and some Republicans in Congress have accused McCabe of political bias, citing his role at the FBI during investigations related to Hillary Clinton and Trump. They question his role in the Clinton email probe and the investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign coordinated with the Kremlin.

Trump did not answer when asked by reporters Monday afternoon if he knew about McCabe’s move.  (read more)

It is interesting, perhaps important, to note a few things within this latest development and overlay them.

♦First, in February of 2017 we drew attention to a story of how Deputy Director Andrew McCabe approached then chief-of-staff Reince Priebus to state that the FBI saw no evidence of any Trump-Russia collusion, and the reports within media about leaks from the intelligence community toward that narrative were based on nothing.

reince-preibus-mccabe(link)

Priebus asked if the FBI could then knock down all of these media reports by issuing a statement outlining the same.  After some quick communication with FBI Director Comey, Deputy Director McCabe responded back to Priebus saying no, the FBI couldn’t issue that statement.

Within a day CNN was reporting that Reince Priebus tried to “pressure” Andrew McCabe and James Comey.   Obviously that story to CNN came directly from McCabe and/or Comey.   This example of FBI leaking to media (in 2017) is contained within a book that was just mentioned yesterday.

♦Secondly, it is not coincidental that now the Justice Department has had an opportunity to preview the Nunes memo content, we begin seeing leaks about it in the New York Times.

The Black Hat operatives within the DOJ and FBI are desperate to get out ahead of the stories.

Think about it.  The Nunes memo was available to congress for over a week, and not a single -substantive- material leak came out.  Yet, within HOURS of the Justice Department having access to the memo, the New York Times is writing about specific details contained within the memo:

WASHINGTON — A secret, highly contentious Republican memo reveals that Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein approved an application to extend surveillance of a former Trump campaign associate shortly after taking office last spring, according to three people familiar with it.

The renewal shows that the Justice Department under President Trump saw reason to believe that the associate, Carter Page, was acting as a Russian agent. But the reference to Mr. Rosenstein’s actions in the memo — a much-disputed document that paints the investigation into Russian election meddling as tainted from the start — indicates that Republicans may be moving to seize on his role as they seek to undermine the inquiry.

The memo’s primary contention is that F.B.I. and Justice Department officials failed to adequately explain to an intelligence court judge in initially seeking a warrant for surveillance of Mr. Page that they were relying in part on research by an investigator, Christopher Steele, that had been financed by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.  (read more)

More on that angle a bit later….

Imagine You are Not a Politician, Yet You are Running For The Presidency…


RE-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on January 29, 2018 by

Imagine that despite your always knowing the DC swamp was deep (dangerous and full of terrors), corrupt, and generally horrible, you decided to do it anyway. You “just had to”.

Imagine you have spent years thinking about it; thinking about every angle within it; thinking and talking to people who know almost everything about it, well, from their perspective anyway; and ultimately you decided to do it.

Imagine that even though you knew it was bad, it wasn’t until you actually began running that you discovered the depth of the corrupt nature with it. –SEE HERE– You see things in the campaign you never expected; things no-one ever talked about.

One of the most alarming aspects of the *new knowledge* is discovering that the top-tier of the national intelligence apparatus has a political agenda you never thought about before.

Imagine yourself, a very successful business person, coming to the realization that the intelligence apparatus could, indeed was, weaponized against you. You fall back on your past experience with hostile organizations as your reference point having to contemplate that parts of the United States Government institutions would likely begin to conspire against you.

Imagine yourself having to deal with a weaponized intelligence community. Then, as time progresses, you begin to see those concerns are not imaginings – but they actually begin to surface.

Re-read this October 2016 speech with ‘new eyes’:

[…] For those who control the levers of power in Washington, and for the global special interests they partner with, our campaign represents an existential threat.

[…] This is not simply another 4-year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not We The People reclaim control over our government.

The political establishment that is trying everything to stop us, is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration, and economic and foreign policies that have bled this country dry. The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs, as they flee to Mexico, China and other countries throughout the world. Our just-announced jobs numbers are anemic, and our gross domestic product, or GDP, is barely above one percent. Workers in the United States, were making less than they were almost 20 years ago – and yet they are working harder.

It’s a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.

[…] This is a struggle for the survival of our nation. This election will determine whether we are a free nation, or whether we have only the illusion of Democracy but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system.

This is not just conspiracy but reality, and you and I know it.

[…]  They control the Department of Justice, and they even clandestinely meet with the Attorney General of the United States – in the back of her airplane, while on the runway – for 39 minutes – to most likely discuss her reappointment in a Clinton Administration just prior to the Attorney General making a decision over whether or not to prosecute Hillary Clinton.

Likewise, they have corrupted the Director of the FBI to the point at which stories are already saying the great men and women who work for the FBI are embarrassed and ashamed to what he’s done to one of our great institutions. Hillary Clinton is guilty of all of the things that Director Comey stated at his press conference and Congressional hearings, and far more – and yet he let her off the hook, while others lives are being destroyed for far less.

This is a conspiracy against you, the American people. (link)

Knowing what you know now, those words from October 13th, 2016, rally in West Palm Beach Florida most certainly hold a different resonance today, no?

Who can anyone turn to when the very institutions created to preserve liberty are intentionally utilized to eliminate the most basic of liberties: the right to choose our own government.

Imagine you are a candidate for the office of the presidency and you realize your political campaign is a very real existential threat to the system. As you begin to accept this reality you have to think entirely different now.

These people are political enemies.

As troubling as it is to accept, you have to face the reality of a weaponized intelligence community aligned against you; and a professional political class who will deny it exists.

The system, including the media, are now in synergy to eliminate the threat you represent.

Imagine, as time goes on, you realize this weaponized system is not going to go away. You begin to think about how to work around it, from your only reference points in dealing with hostile institutions. Approaches you know from business experience, become references.

Thankfully, you have a man, an intelligence officer, General Mike Flynn, who can rightly explain the capability of the intelligence apparatus. Yet even he cannot adequately describe how it is weaponized. Imagine yourself having to deal with this issue.

You are running for the Presidency, yet you have to accept a complete and incomprehensible inability to trust the U.S. intelligence community. You realize that, absent of your ability to coax individuals to change behavior inside the organization, it may be entirely necessary to build a parallel system that you can trust.

The nomination was tough, but you won.

It is within the general election when you really discover the scale of political alignment referenced as the ‘Deep Administrative State’.

Somehow, through grit, work and a relentless effort – your campaign overcomes many obstacles and a key part of the electorate are sharp enough to understand the bigger issues.

You win the election.

But as people celebrate around you, you know this is not the summit.

When dawn breaks, November 9th, 2016, everyone will begin to see what you already know; the summit is still a long way off. Those adverse interests are not going to accept the disruption. Well, not willingly anyway.

As everyone else cheers, maybe you don’t quite enjoy the same victory because you sense what is to come…

Then, at a critical juncture, a key player within the established system, who is not OK with what’s going on, comes to you and confirms your worst suspicions. –SEE HERE–

The apparatus of the IC is weaponized against you; and it’s worse than you thought.

However, despite the sheer scale of the opposition, and the people aligned against you, you have won the election – and thankfully that same key internal *whistle-blower* has a plan.

He too has been thinking.

Imagine the broad outline of a parallel intelligence system. A system that might only be temporary in nature, but feasibly could be trusted.  A system that might overcome the challenge inherent from the domestic enemies embedded inside the current one.

While a politically weaponized intelligence apparatus is targeting/watching you…  perhaps your parallel system might just be able to watch the watchers.

If you can imagine such a system, you’ll note the needs: established infrastructure close to completion, or at least in a solid phase of current utility.  A safe system, a reasonable distance away from the threat; held and operated by people who have, or would have, a self-interest -a motive- to help you.  Also a human intelligence network, contacts with people -who know people- and must also have ability to operate the parallel system.

Normal allies, at least the historic perspective of ‘allies’ as known to us outside the system, could not be used. The “Five Eyes” intelligence allies would be useless, because the embedded IC opposition would quickly discover the networking. They are, after all, an international intelligence community; and share a generally common ideology.

No, you would need a ‘new’ system.

Something outside current systems, yet mirroring the technological capability.

And all of this must take place in such a fashion as no-one would ever suspect it taking place. Yet, you don’t want to hide it, because that’s ultimately the easiest way for the adverse IC enemy to discover it.

That’s what you’d need.

Now, consider:

I know, it’s a mind-blowing exercise to fathom…. but why not?

As we consider this, basic frames of reference are questioned. Do your own work, your own analysis, apply your own reasoned logic.  You, we, all of us, have all just recently began to understand the scale of the corruption within the U.S. intelligence apparatus, specifically the DOJ and FBI.

What if we had known it back in November of 2016?

How would we understand all of the intelligence events from November 2016 though today if we knew the scale of the Justice Department weaponization, back then.  We have the benefit of hindsight to overlay against current events.

Do not trust me, nor expect me to convince you.  Something about this has just struck me as deliberate for over eight months – for multiple reasons. So use your own knowledge, and put down an actual or mental timeline back to January 20th, 2017 (Inauguration day), and look/think carefully about what transpired.  Who visited where, when, and how.

Look at who visits the White House, early on in the administration. Think about what you know of those visits and your reference points. Many citations will follow:

Look at what actions were taken, in the specific area, to secure any adverse entity away from discovering the intent of a possible parallel construct. –SEE HERE– Saudi Arabia Arrests 11 Princes, including Alwaleed.

Look at times and dates when specific people travel to the same specific area:

Understand that a parallel system means creating new alliances. Any entity aligned with the current adversary, or former administration, cannot be trusted. –SEE HERE– Qatar, financial epicenter of the Muslim Brotherhood, ally with the Obama administration, no longer considered a geopolitical ally; and completely isolated amid the Gulf States.

Then we have Canada, Australia and New Zealand, normally friendly allies, being exceptionally combative to an incoming administration –SEE HERE– and adding to the mix, the United Kingdom being more of an ideological adversary than geopolitical ally –SEE HERE– oh, there’s that Five Eyes reference again.

When you begin to question prior assumptions, some overseas visits by administration officials, emissaries or unofficial officials, take on new meaning. Visits seemed random. But maybe not –SEE HERE– Jared Kushner making unannounced visits to Saudi Arabia.

With a new nexus established, things continue for a long time; a very long while. All the while Deep-State Black Hats have absolutely no idea they are being watched.

Perhaps seemingly random or innocuous events take on a different dimension. –SEE HERE– Vice-President Mike Pence Travels to Egypt, Jordan and Israel.

Without context, things just don’t make sense.

The media are perplexed –SEE HERE– Headline: “Mike Pence visit to region serves no purpose“, ie. it doesn’t make sense.

However, with context, things, the timing of things, not only begins to make sense, but changes the entire landscape of what was previously thought. –SEE HERE– House Speaker Paul Ryan, and Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes travel to Saudi Arabia.

That’s Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes innocuously in the background.

While everyone was recently waiting on the memo….

And waiting on the #ReleaseTheMemo…

The history of interactions begins to shape a new understanding:

Maybe, just maybe, the ‘Intelligence Orb’ that everyone enjoyed was real.

Only ‘real’ in a way it just wasn’t thought of before:

Then again, what if the Orb, the new Saudi counter-extremism intelligence hub, is not technically *theirs* after all…

What if that Saudi Intelligence Orb (hub) is actually ours, or at least, maybe, we are leasing and equipping it for use… for a while…

…While our White Hat team (CIA-Pompeo, NSA-Rogers) modified the intel-hub’s operational use, to monitor and catch the Black Hat team.

Although this is simply just a citation of various events, with a rather different take on what they might possibly mean, it could, possibly, change the entire dynamic of what has been happening.

Did you think two years ago that FBI officials would actually be spying on political opposition?  Did you fathom a year ago that the FBI, actual agents inside the FBI, might have been intentionally conspiring to help Hillary Clinton escape legal jeopardy?

Did you know the FBI were withholding evidence, lying to courts, using burner phones to communicate; hiring contract agents and giving them access to NSA and FBI counterintelligence databases to conduct domestic political spying operations?

Could you fathom the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI purchasing opposition research from Hillary Clinton, pitching it to FISA Courts as evidence; and working with their allies in the media by leaking information to place intentionally false material within their stories?

Were you previously ever able to imagine people within the Justice Department making demands of congressional oversight to see evidence of their own corruption in advance of accountability? …and the media making out congress as the bad-guy in that dynamic?

No?  Don’t feel bad.  Me neither.

I mean, seriously?

So my entire set of “reasonable assumptions” is considerably different now and I don’t dismiss possibilities that actually have a basis-in-fact that might explain what has taken place as the other side of the intelligence apparatus fights back against this jaw-dropping intelligence corruption.

It’s The Impeachment That Would Tank the Market


Armstrong Economics Blog/Dow Jones

Re-Posted Jan 29, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

We have now reached the point where a pause in the uptrend of the US Share Markets comes into position. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has been an elitist out for Trump’s head from the beginning. He was even trying to throw his hat in the ring to be President and took personal offense that an outsider would beat everyone.

He has publicly admitted there is no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia during the campaign. I believe my entire case revolved around the elements in the US government were colluding with the bankers to install a puppet government in Moscow and take over the country. Yeltsin turned to Putin for help and that is how Putin even got in. They would never allow a trial in my case fearing what would surface.

Despite the fact that Graham has admitted that there was no Russia involvement with Trump to rig the election, he has come out and said that Firing Robert Mueller would be the end of the Donald Trump presidency.

Make no mistake about it, Graham and the Democrats want Trump out of office. This is a club and they want to keep it that way. Grahm will help the Democrats accomplish that even if it means turning the elections back to the Democrats in November.

The killer of this Bull Market will be by the hand of people like Lindsey Graham. An IMPEACHMENT proceeding against Trump will see the Panic Cycle hit on an annual basis. This will actually be very bad for the entire world economy because Trump’s Tax Reform has forced other countries to look at how their tax systems are not competitive either. All of that will be reversed and clear this is what the Washington elite want like Lindsey Graham. They are clueless and believe getting rid of Trump will restore their control. What they overlook is the simple fact that Trump won because people have had enough of career politicians who always lie and support the status quo.

In the US Share Market, this is now a turning point we have reached. I have warned for months that exceeding the November high would lead to a January high. Now, the failure of February to make new highs warns of a March low. The support for a correction now lies at the 25637 level on a weekly closing basis (this is not a reversal). We will elaborate today on the Private Blog.

Has the FBI become the Praetorian Guard?

COMMENT: Hey Marty, if it’s true that the FBI formed a “Secret Society” to eliminate Trump in the 2016 elections isn’t this similar to the Praetorian Guard picking Emperor?  The Elite Police/Military choose our leader.  So in other words, the USA’s downward spiral has been sent in decided motion and we have begun our descent.  I can’t believe people aren’t outraged.

That’s nuts!

REPLY: The next step is to auction off the office of president to the highest bidder whoever promises the bureaucrats the most money for their pensions.

This reminds me of Marcus Didius Julianus was a distinguished Senator of Rome. Emperor Commodus was assassinated and Pertinax became emperor and he, like Trump, was not liked by the bureaucrats so he was murdered by the Praetorian guards. After parading around with the head of Pertinax on a pole, the Praetorian Guards withdrew to the safety of their camp. There was no clear heir to the throne so the Guards stationed heralds on the wall to announce openly that the office of Emperor was up for sale to the highest bidder.

This incident became the most scandalous affair in the history of political corruption. Can you imagine that the FBI auctions off secretly the office of the President?

There were two rival bidders who presented themselves – Titus Flavius Sulpicianus (father-in-law of Pertinax) and Marcus Didius Julianus. Didius’ bid was 25,000 sestertii per man, which was the high bid and he was duly declared Emperor.

Didius Julianus quickly found himself in serious trouble. The treasury had been depleted much more so than he had expected under Commodus. Didius began to reduce the weight of the coinage trying to stretch the reserves as far as possible. At the same time, he attempted to politically demonstrate stability by also issuing coins bearing the portraits of his wife Manlia Scantilla and daughter.

Julianus found himself deserted by the Praetorians and deposed by the Senate. He sought refuge in his deserted palace but was beheaded on June 2nd after a reign of only 66 days.

If Mueller and his FBI conspirators take down Trump, they better beware. There may be a bigger rebellion against them than they ever imagined if history has anything to say.
