Tax Authorities Still Hunting for More


Credit Swiss

Credit Suisse was raided in the hunt for tax money all throughout Europe. They took out ads last Sunday in the Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph and Observer in London, all saying that they were a “response to recent reports about tax probes in various European countries”. The hunt for taxes has continued to target Switzerland which the other governments blame for their own fiscal mismanagement. The prevailing view has embedded that the Swiss banks for years has helped wealthy individuals around the world to hide money. Previously, Credit Suisse, Switzerland’s second-biggest bank, in 2014 pleaded guilty and was fined $2.6 billion by U.S. authorities over charges it helped wealthy Americans evade taxes. It has also settled tax, dodging cases in Italy and Germany. The tax authorities of various government tasted first blood and now they are back for more.

The entire issue with Switzerland secrecy laws began in 1933 because Hitler was doing the very same thing. He declared it to be illegal for any German to have money outside of the country. To protect the Jews, Switzerland introduced its secrecy laws. Now the rest of the world is going the very same thing that Hitler did. Interesting how history repeats.

IMF Issue Working Paper on Eliminating Cash


IMF De-Cashing

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington has published a Working Paper on “de-cashing” the economies and the implications. This paper clearly demonstrates that this is the direction we are headed into. It provides advice to governments who want to join in the latest thing – abolishing cash. IMF-Analyst Alexei Kireyev recommends in his conclusions:

Although some countries most likely will de-cash in a few years, going completely cashless should be phased in steps. The de-cashing process could build on the initial and largely uncontested steps, such as the phasing out of large denomination bills, the placement of ceilings on cash transactions, and the reporting of cash moves across the borders. Further steps could include creating economic incentives to reduce the use of cash in transactions, simplifying the opening and use of transferrable deposits, and further computerizing the financial system. 

 

The paper does not advocate eliminating cash. It merely goes through the plus and minus to such a policy. While governments are pressing this using terrorism as the excuse, you do not eliminate the entire monetary system of the world to even catch 100 terrorists and their camels. This is all about the collapse in socialism and the desperate need to raise money.

Syria – Pipeline – How The Press Will Not Tell the Truth about Syria


Pipeline

With all the attacks upon Trump as having some covert connection with Putin to defeat Hillary when nothing hacked from the DNC was ever said to have been faked or altered, just released, one must wonder has this suddenly influenced Trump to attack Syria to prove he is not in league with Putin? If the military advisors are telling him it is Syria who has launched a chemical attack, he really should tread very lightly. This 180 degree turn for Trump may indeed be a trap.

Back in December 2015, I explained what Syria was all about and why the Obama Administration wanted to invade to help Qatar get a pipeline through Syria to compete with Russia selling gas to Europe. I explained there were two pipelines one approved by Russia from Iran through Syria and the other Obama agreed to with Qatar also through Syria. The American press supported Obama by trying to make everyone believe Obama cared about innocent civilians being gassed. Nothing was further from the truth and the US was supplying the weapons to rebels who were slaughtering people and throwing them in mass graves. Obama turned a blind eye because the pipeline was more important than people in Syria.

Finally, after more than one year from when I reported the real truth behind Syria, the Australian Press has now broke the story. The question is why now? It seems the media will now switch the focus and claim Trump is the one doing this for the pipeline now that their favorite son, Obama, is out of the picture. Mainstream media is out to defeat Trump. That is what they are directed to do from their big corporate owners who Dan Rather exposed in 2008, but now defends the press as being honest and real and the devil is Trump claiming they are fake.

Interesting how they can hide the story to help Obama and then flip the same story to attack Trump. It looks like Trump is falling prey to being set up to think this is really about chemical weapons and saving people. Sorry – that was all BS. The evidence came out that it was the rebels supported by Obama who were using the chemical weapons. Investigations revealed that back in 2013, they used sarin gas – not the Syrian government.

Socialism – Family Structure – Gold – Food


3-Hoard

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; you said that socialism is collapsing and the West is most vulnerable because it changed the social structure and the family unit. Spanish families from Mexico seem to be much tighter groups than Americans. Is this what you are talking about? Did the ancient Greeks save money for retirement? Is that why hoards of coins are found?

Thank you for making my brain work again

LY

ANSWER: Yes, socialism’s goal was to replace the family unit and make people dependent upon the state. Even under communism in Russia, you were instructed that the State was your real parents, and if your biological parents spoke against the State you were supposed to turn them in. I went behind the Berlin Wall before it fell. The system was paranoid to the point you trusted no one.

I have friends in Ukraine. They never trusted the State and retained a strong family bond. They provided for each other, and this is what you see among Mexican families as well. When there is no trust in government, we turn back toward almost a tribal heritage, but band together in family structures.

Coin hoards are not found as savings, or else they would be far more common. They tend to reflect savings but from periods of political-economic instability. So, we have far more hoards from the 3rd century AD than any other period.

Amphorae

As for the ancient Greeks, they did not save money. To them, economic security took the form of an amphorae of olive oil. Olive oil was very nutritious and could be stored for relatively long periods of time. To provide for themselves in times of need the Greeks stockpiled olive oil and this was their form of economic security. It provided substance during crop failures and had a value that would always rise against the value of money during economic crisis. So the hoards you find in ancient homes are that of amphorae rather than coin.

I have stated plenty of times, that if you go too far in the economic downturn, not even gold will retain its value. You move all the way back down the evolution of value to food where it all began.

How to Make Congress Responsible, fix Social Security & Healthcare? It’s Easy!


capitol-bldg

QUESTION:  You once said you could fix the mess in 30 days or less but they would assassinate you. How can you ever make our politicians responsible?

ANSWER: The term limits are mandatory, but you have to cut off the incentive as well. No pension or salary after one term. People want to run for Congress and you are taken care of for life if you served even just one day. As for taking a cabinet position like Secretary of the Treasury, well you have to sell all your stock in whatever bank you are leaving and because you MUST do this, you get to sell everything tax free. They have rules to exempt themselves from everything.

Eliminate all special perks. Social Security should be for all as should the health care. Why should they get benefits we cannot even buy? If you limit the terms to one-time-and-out, eliminate pensions, and you subject everyone to the same benefits even while in office, then you will see things shape up. Drug companies lobby the most. Politicians need money for re-election. If you make it one-term-and-out, you eliminate the lobbying since there is no re-election and you subject them to the same healthcare we have. Then they will not vote for things that will deprive themselves.

Censorship – Trying to Cover Up the Truth


Censored

QUESTION: I have concluded that you are the most censored analyst perhaps in history and they always said you were the guy who knew too much. I even read that in a new book entitled, Occupied, mentioning you. The fact you are being censored proves what you have to say is the real thing and someone can’t stand that. The New York Times, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, nobody ever quotes you. Why do you think the press tries to ignore you? Has government told them to do so?

PD

ANSWER: Yes, even when the Forecaster was made, there was a clip from Bloomberg. The film director was told they had no TV clips on my case. He then found one that someone saved. He went back to Bloomberg and said he had what they said did not exist. They contacted the New York Times, who also would not allow Gretchen Morgenson to be interviewed. The same result at the New Yorker Magazine. The list goes on. The man Oliver Brown from the prison agreed to be in the film and he states publicly the FBI showed up at his house and tried to intimidate him from not appearing. The distributor bought the rights for the US and then refused to show the film. Then NETFLIX senior management overrode the staff and would not show the film. So yes, this has been nothing but censored. It was on TV in Canada, Scandinavia, and throughout Europe. It was even on international flights to the USA. All of these efforts to stop the film in the USA proves it was on point.

Owen Changing Transcripts

In prison, I met former vice president of the New York Post. He explained to me how the press is manipulated. The Gov’t calls and says it has a favor. You do as they ask or they go after the journalist involved, typically for taxes. This is how the Government can control the press. This is what has gone on which is really over the top and the press has become simply propaganda. I had discussions with journalists from the New York Times and Bloomberg when I confronted Judge Owen about criminally altering the court record. Not a single story was ever reported when Judge Owen publicly admitted to a crime. The press was totally silent and would never report such corruption in the Judiciary. So why should judges ever worry about doing the right thing if the press is in their back pocket? I even wrote to the SEC and said just make up whatever you want me to say and let’s be done with it. Nobody will ever believe me if I said it was all fake. So what’s the problem?

I am not familiar with the book you mention. Yes, they called me “The man who knew too much” and even the lawyers said that’s why they would never give me a trial. You see in law, you never ask a question you do not know the answer to. I knew way too many people and the inner-workings of way too many things behind the curtain. There was no way they could allow me to testify publicly.

I also had taped phone calls concerning every manipulation by the bankers for more than 20 years. They could never give me a public trial. Impossible. If I was allowed to testify, international press surely would have reported my testimony even if the US press tried to block it.

Yes, they tried to kill me and I was in a coma for a few days, but to their dismay, I survived. Now, all they can do is tell the press to please ignore me. I am not fond of mainstream media anyway. The journalist may be honest, but the editors are not. The only journalist I ever trusted was at Reuters wire service by the name of Clive in London. Even he said print journalists will burn you and never return. The wire houses need to talk to insiders every day.

MARINE VETERAN WARNS TRUMP: “YOU’RE BEING DUPED” ON SYRIA


I’m a former Greet beret officer from Vietnam era and I seriously doubt the Assad this this. The CIA was heavily involved in Nam and we see how that went. Benghazi was a cover up for the CIA gun running into Syria and now they are involved there doing who knows what. The vets don’t like getting involved in these crazy kinetic actions for no good reason way to many time since WW II.

That’s Better . . .
