U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair has recognized something those in office either do not see or refuse to admit. Blair said at the Abu Dhabi that Donald Trump’s wins in the U.S. primary elections are disturbing for they illustrate that there is a rising popularity of insurgent political movements around the world. The mismanagement of decades of career politicians and the total state of complete corruption in every branch of government is pushing the population to rise up against the establishment everywhere. Blair told the conference: “Sometimes I look at politics today and wonder if I still understand it.”

Meanwhile, establishment Republicans are now vowing to stop Trump. They say he is no “conservative” but in fact what they really say off camera is he is not one of them. They are scared to death that if Trump gets in, it will not be business as usual. This is the civil war building. It is career politicians against the people. They are personalizing this as Donald Trump rather than looking broadly that Trump is just Ross Perot 2.0. It could be anyone who is an outsider. Trump just has the money to fund this without selling his soul to the elite political pacs.

Super Tuesday Debrief, Primary Results and Anticipated GOPe Reactions….

Moody’s Warns of 30% Rise in Commodity Based Company Bankruptcies in 2016

The Commodity industry is bracing for a high year of bankruptcy and default filings impacting mining & metals along with oil & gas. Moody’s has also warned of global speculative-grade corporate defaults will increase by more than 30% in 2016 reaching the highest level since 2009. Those interested in mining shares should pay close attention to what you are buying. Until gold crosses that key resistance, we still have only a typical 3 month reaction. A rally must extend beyond March to  be impressive.

Moody’s lowers outlook on China’s credit rating to negative from stable. We have been warning that our models on China indicate that the bottom in the economy does not appear likely until 2020. This should be a 13 year contraction. So far that forecast appears to be on target.

The Unfolding Pension Crisis


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re- Posted Mar 2, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Pension-Crisis

Part of the collapse in confidence we are experiencing with government stems directly from the fact that politicians engage in far more criminal behavior than anyone in the corporate world. While bankers may manipulate markets to trade against clients, politicians just lie to keep their jobs. The fact that they are incapable of managing the country, no less the economy, is coming to a head. The pension crisis we face emerges from all the promises of socialism. The crisis sprung from the fact that they don’t fund much of their promises and just assume there are enough schmucks to tax.

What played out in Detroit was critical but they ignored the problem. Pensions exceeded 50% of the budget and the city could not raise taxes because people just left town. Now in Kansas, workers are discovering that after 33 years they are facing a 51% cut to their pensions. The Central States Pension Fund that covers 400,000 participants (220,000 of them are retired) will go completely bust within 10 years.

This story will replay over and over again throughout the country on the other side of 2017.9 (Nov 24/25, 2017). We should begin to read more and more about this problem when we pass 2016.825 (October 28, 2016).

TTIP will fail more taxes do not stimulate growth!

1-ECM 2032

QUESTION: 

Dear Mr. Armstrong,

Your article on the trend set in motion with reference to Trump was fantastic. The world and how it ticks is truly fascinating, your work in investigating how it does so is worthy of any prize and will surely go down in history as the greatest investigation into humanity of all time. Always building on the work done by previous great minds and expanding on it.

Globalisation is a feature you predicted with the ECM you developed. Recently I came across the TTIP program – Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. I was wondering if this is a feature of the trend towards globalisation which you saw possible? Is it possible that we could see a massive trade and investment peak before the crash and burn? Or is it crash and burn first with a spike in gold and then start a fresh? The “crash and burn” event you spoke of. Is this crash and burn of government ?
(the drop after 2030 looks pretty serious on the ECM) It seems that the degree of corruption “behind the curtain” is a webbed network around the globe…..people I think are waking up to the level of totalitarianism enforced upon them by powerful government circles, unknown names, unknown faces……the pot seems ready boil over

WorldEconomy

ANSWER: The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) will be a failure. There is nothing governments can do to stimulate the world economy. To encourage trade, you do not support the reporting among nations that will begin in 2017. You do not impose a global tax on companies, as proposed by the IMF. You do not keep increasing enforcement on taxes while claiming that you are expanding the world economy. So do not expect some surge in global trade.

There is nothing we can do to alter the business cycle. The West will crash and burn, and the global economy will rise from the ashes in Asia — not Europe or the U.S. Gold and tangible assets will make the transition from one monetary system to the next. It has nothing to do with the quantity of money. It has to do with a collapse in confidence in the state. That is what we are witnessing with Trump right now. The pundits are fools. They think they can attack Trump to hold on to their elite status and power. Sorry, that is just not the way this works. They will never reform because they will not admit that they have ever done anything wrong.

Trump is our Knight and is doing battle for us against those that wish to rule us!


Donald J. Trump has tapped into the anger of the American people, the vulgarians, who know and feel that all they have fought and died for will soon be gone if the current crop of corrupt DC politicians have their way. A true Grassroots movement by the vulgarians has taken root and signs of protest are now appearing in public in support of Trump and the vulgarians show up in mass at his rallies. This is the way that non-violent change is made — the people will be allowed to have their say or there will be hell to pay.

Trump-the-Knight

Now that we have found a champion a Knight to fight for us and that is Donald J. Trump — some have said that he is not perfect, no of course not he is human just like the rest of us that carry the original sin. But he is a Christian and he is a strong leader and his heart is in the right place. Further he wants to fix the wrongs that have been done to all of us and to the Constitution. The GOPe and most of the rest of the Washington elite have, in essence, signed on with the dark one and sold their souls to the devil himself knowingly or not their actions tell us they have. We are in the fight to the end and we will not be turned from our goal of making Washington work for us not for them.

Therefore in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence which started us down this path we rededicate ourselves to the founding principles … “and for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

We Want the Truth!


ruth

It’s amazing that it is a Brit that has to be the one to elucidate the truth, because we are hamstrung by political correctness in the Land of the free.  Trump has shown us that he is the only one that tries to tell us of the dangers that we face if we continue on this path of destruction.  We love him for this as we know in our hearts that he is right!
