Tariff Threats Successful – Colombia to Accept Returned Citizens

Posted originally on Jan 28, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

Tariffs never work, but threats often do when it is known they will be carried out. Donald Trump threatened Colombia with massive tariffs, sanctions, and travel bans if the nation refused to take back thousands of illegal Colombian migrants. Within ONE HOUR, Colombia agreed to all terms and conditions.

Two repatriation flights to Colombia were denied entry, leading Trump to take action. The initial threat would have raised tariffs by 25% instantly, with tariffs doubling to 50% within a week if the order was not restored. Trump threatened to place numerous sanctions on Colombia and certain politicians. Colombian officials and allies would have had their visas removed immediately. “These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the criminals they forced into the United States,” Trump warned.

The Colombian government responded within an hour. “The Government of Colombia has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or delay. Based on this agreement, the fully drafted IEEPA tariffs and sanctions will be held in reserve, and not signed, unless Colombia fails to honor this agreement,” the White House reported. Visa sanctions will remain in place “until the first planeload of Colombian deportees is successfully returned.”

Colombia’s President Petro replied to Trump’s initial threats by claiming the US president would attempt to invoke a coup against him. Petro called the US “boring” and Trump a racist who considered him “an inferior race.” Petro spoke of seeing “blacks and Latinos” in Washington fighting and urged them to ban together. Clearly, he was hoping to invoke a racial war when that was NEVER the premise. Why do you not want to accept back your own people, President Petro? Why are you unable to control the drug cartels who rule your nation? He knows that those who fled under Biden are some of the worst the nation had to offer.

“You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like then did with Allendale. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don’t want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and freed ourselves,” Petro continued, saying Trump does not want Colombia to be free and he would not “shake hands with white slavers.” He then threatened to force 50% tariffs on the US in retaliation.

Democrats in the US sided with Petro immediately and claimed that asking illegal residents to return home was undignified. These politicians are demanding that American citizens pay for illegal migrants. There is no ongoing war in Colombia, and they did not come here for asylum. America has a legal immigration process that people can follow if they’d like to reside here.

Petro’s tantrum ended in defeat. We now have a president who is not afraid of confrontation. Trump has been thrown to the wolves so many times that any attempt to villainize him is met with apathy. America will no longer be made to feel like an antihero for its economic success nor will its people be subject to the sins of their forefathers. America finally has a leader who demands respect and is not afraid to raise hell for America First policies.

Germany’s AfD Calls for “Remigration”

Posted originally on Jan 28, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) Party is prepared to break with the European Union’s policy of open borders and implement a mass deportation operation. This is yet another reason why the establishment is attempting to ban the party and brand it as “far-right.”

Europe’s open border policies began in Germany under former Chancellor Angela Merkel who urged Syrians to flee and seek asylum within Germany in 2015. That same year, Germany experienced a massive uptick of 2.14 million arrivals. Other figures believe the number is far higher. There are now an estimated 14 million immigrants in Germany, most of whom are not there legally.

It became brutally apparent that there was major difference in cultures, and migrants, primarily single men, were unprepared for the Western world. Women in once safe cities feared walking alone. The German government created pamphlets and courses on how to properly flirt with a woman without sexual harassment. The continual rise in crime was not enough to deter the globalist government who insisted the rest of Europe adopt open border policies as well.

Violent crimes in Germany reached a 15-year high last year, a 5.5% YoY rise, and MIGRANTS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR 40% OF THOSE CRIMES. It is not racist or xenophobic to state FACTS – these unvetted migrants from a completely different social background are ruining Germany. Lamya Kaddor, a Green Party MP, said that migrants were simply over-represented in crime statistics. “The crime rate is higher among socio-economically disadvantaged groups, which very often include foreign nationals,” they coldly said. None of the Build Back Better leaders are concerned with the welfare of their own citizens.

The cost on the welfare state is astounding. Germany spend at least 23.2 billion euros on supporting refugees last year after spending 29.7 billion euros the year prior. In fact, the government as admitted to spending over 20 billion euros each year since open borders were implemented. We are talking about over 5% of the federal budget going directly toward illegal residents.

The AfD would like to reclaim Germany, with leader Alice Weidel coining a new term, “remigration.” Migrants would be redirected back to their country of origin. She also called many of Germany’s migrants “un-assimilated” residents which is precisely the problem. Thousands have protested in favor of keeping the borders wide open. Will they pay the price to support these people? Migrants committed 40% of all violent crimes last year, are draining social programs, yet people are fighting for them to stay? Perhaps there are some citizens who have also failed to assimilate to German culture.

Why Did Democrats Become Pro-Illegal Immigration?

Posted originally on Jan 27, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

The Democrats completely flipped the position against illegal immigration mainly because they have to be the opposite of whatever Trump did, regardless of the issue. They hated Trump because he was not a politician, and how dare anyone think they could be elected and upset their cozy thiefdom. If Trump wants to build a wall, they must tear it down. This is what 2032 will be: a reset for the government, which is no longer for the people. It is for them only.

Confidential sources explained that Biden really thought opening the border as he did on day one would be his legacy. He thought he would go down in history as the next FDR and allow the country to be flooded with illegal immigrants regardless of skills or language.

This is why our computer is projecting 2032, and it is also projecting the collapse of the Democratic Party, for it will split like the Federalists, for there are conservative middle-of-the-road Democrats who simply do not agree with the completely opposite position the Party is taking. They MUST resist regardless of the issue.

The press is sealing their fate and the fate of Western Civilization. The Economist, the Guardian, the New York Times, and the Washington Post have opposed every single executive order Trump has issued simply because he issued it. Forget the substance. I do not agree with everything he has done. That does not mean I oppose every order simply because he issued it. This is WHY our governments in the West will fall – there is no other option.

Biden’s level of vindictiveness is off the charts. Biden struck a secret deal with the British Prime Minister to sign away the joint UK-US military base on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia, perhaps the most important military base in the Middle East, to create a geopolitical mess for Trump. Starmer and the outgoing Biden administration wanted to get an agreement to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands – including Diego Garcia – to Mauritius before President Trump could take his oath. Biden tried to screw our military just to be vindictive to Trump? Starmer was on board, but sources say the British Neocons stopped the secret deal. When history writes the account of Biden, he will go down, I believe, as the most corrupt and vindictive president in American history.

Hungary May Not Renew Russian Sanctions

Posted originally on Jan 27, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

Brussels has been eager to oust Hungarian leader Viktor Orban. The prime minister has grown bolder in his battle against Ukraine regarding the nation blocking gas imports from Russia. Orban has not declared that he may not renew the European Union’s required sanction on Russia unless Ukraine renews the Russian pipeline deal. A final decision will be made today.

“Now the issue of extending sanctions is on the agenda, I have put on the handbrake and asked European leaders to understand that this cannot continue,” said Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, speaking to state broadcaster Kossuth Radio. “Hungary cannot be made to pay the price of sanctions in such proportions.”

Current EU criteria demand that all 27 EU nations increase penalties against Russia every six months so long as the war continues. The bloc has already frozen €200 billion in sovereign assets and nearly eliminated all trade. The problem is that neighboring nations are more reliant on Russian energy and have been disproportionately affected by these sanctions. Ukraine’s Zelensky recently failed to renew a critical pipeline deal that all but halted Russian gas imports to the EU.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has also spoken out repeatedly, citing the need for Russian energy and warning that his nation will face an energy crisis if Ukraine prevents the flow of gas. “There is no EU legislation or system of sanctions that would hinder Ukraine from continuing the gas transit,” Fico said earlier in the month. “We can’t ignore this topic because everyone knows ignoring it means escalating tensions in the EU and in bilateral relations.”

“The Ukrainians, while it is in their interests to impose sanctions, are now poking their nose into the flour and tampering with the Hungarians, even on the energy side, because they are not allowing gas to flow from Russia to Hungary,” Orbán said.

The Hungarian government asked to delay the penalty renewal process until after the US election. Trump’s decision to threaten Russia with sanctions boldened EU leaders to call out Hungary and demand they follow the lead.

The European Union cannot possibly act in the best interest of all member states. The entire premise of this alliance was doomed from the start. Members are growing increasingly frustrated as Brussels hinders their individual economies and this political instability will be one of the many reasons the EU will cease to exist.

Biden’s Pardons are Unconstitutional

Posted originally on Jan 27, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Dear Marty

I read your article about Fauci’s pardon being unconstitutional, but I have something to add.

The basis for pre-emptive pardons being unlawful can be found in ancient English constitutional law, see the Prince of Orange’s 1688 Declaration of Reason that preceded England’s 1688 Bill of Rights. This carries over to USA via the 9th Amendment “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” A pre-emptive pardon also violates due process of law, see 5th & 14th Amendment and can therefore only be done after conviction, see this passage from the Prince of Orange’s (Future King William IIIs) Declaration of Reason.”For though the King may pardon the Punishment that a Transgressor has incurred, and to which he is condemned; as in Cases of Treason or Felony; yet it cannot be, with any Colour of Reason, inferred from thence, that the King can intirely suspend the Execution of those Laws relating to Treason or Felony, unless it is pretended, that he is cloathed with a despotick and arbitrary Power, and that the Lives, Liberties, Honours, and Estates of the Subjects, depend wholly on his goodwill and Pleasure, and are intirely subject to him; which must infallibly follow on the King’s having a Power to suspend the Execution of Laws, and to dispense with them.”
Prince of Orange’s Declaration: 19 December 1688 | British History Online

This leads to Art.1 of the 1688 Bill of Rights:
“That the pretended Power of Suspending of Laws or the Execution of Laws by Regall Authority without Consent of Parlyament is illegall.” King/President may pardon after conviction but only Parliament/Congress may suspend the law.”

This has similar meaning as Article II of the US Constitution that requires the President to ensure “that the Laws be faithfully executed”

This all goes back to due process of law, the President cannot interfere with due process through the prerogative of pardon or mercy.

Going back to the old world, citing Sir Edward Coke, The US Supreme Court stated in 1855 that The words, “due process of law” (in the 5th & 14th Amendments), were undoubtedly intended to convey the same meaning as the words, “by the law of the land”, in Art.29 Magna Carta 1297. https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-supreme-court/59/272.html

The Scottish 1689 Claim of Rights states the same thing in different language in Art.1, “That all Proclamationes asserting ane absolute power to Cass annull and Dissable lawes… are Contrair to Law”” and it states in the pre-amble, “Wheras King James the Seventh… Did By the advyce of wicked and evill Counsellers (Secretaries of State) Invade the fundamentall Constitution of this Kingdome And altered it from a legall limited monarchy to ane Arbitrary Despotick power and in a publick proclamation asserted ane absolute power to cass annull and dissable all the lawes particularly arraigning the lawes Establishing the protestant religion and did Exerce that power to the subversion of the protestant Religion and to the violation of the lawes and liberties of the Kingdome”

REPLY: Excellent research. The Common Law is supposed to apply in the USA. I hope Trump’s team reads this. As the outgoing president, Joe Biden gave pardons to five family members literally minutes before Donald Trump was sworn into office. This was not just an abuse of power; it was to confirm the ultimate corruption of the Biden Crime Family. They have pocketed untold amounts of money laundered through Ukraine, and this leaves a stain on his reputation for all of history, even though they were unconstitutional. Assuming Trump criminally charges these people, it would still be decided by a jury of the people – not by Trump.
