Socialist Uprising: Can Free Markets Beat Bernie, Betsy and AOC?


Published on Aug 9, 2019

Is it born to die? If Capitalism in America eventually leads to the workers rising with pitchforks to demand a division of the spoils, are we doing it wrong, or is that just the natural outcome of a system that focuses only on equality of opportunity? The rise of Democratic Socialists (and their less-Democratic brethren) during the 2020 presidential cycle may signal an economic shift that seems to contain the seeds of the demise of a system which has created more food, health, leisure, and happiness than anything the Earth has seen.

Surprising Results – Iowa State Fair Corn Kernel Poll (5:00pm Results)…


The Iowa State Fair has a fun, quirky and non-scientific poll that it does each presidential primary season.  While the results only reflect those fair visitors who choose to participate in placing a kernel of corn in a jar corresponding to their preferred candidate, the results are usually quite accurate when compared to the election results the following year.

After three days of visitors, the results as of 5:00pm show Joe Biden with a considerable lead (24%), followed by Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren (16%), Kamala Harris (11%), and Bernie Sanders (9%) rounding out the top five:

With gaffe prone Biden still holding a lead, it appears Pete Buttigieg is surging, and is now in a stronger Iowa position than national polls would suggest.

Additionally, albeit somewhat anticipated, it’s confirmed the former Bernie bloc has fractured and support amid the communist wing now leaning toward Elizabeth Warren.  Perhaps that explains a rather stark tweet from Che’ Bernie moments ago:

It would appear, Bernie is pulling out the full manifesto in an effort to stop ‘I’ma git me a beer’ Warren from stealing his collective thunder.   The battle of the east coast communists continue…

Meanwhile California’s inauthentic Harris, aided primarily by gender-preferential media sycophants, is finding a way to navigate the west coast pole dance and brings a solid fourth place kernel result.

Interesting stuff…

China Brings Mainland Military Forces into Hong Kong – Protests Cry Freedom…


As the U.S-China trade confrontation continues, China is running out of dollars.  Beijing is burning through cash to prop up its manufacturing industries; and the currency devaluation only exacerbates the problem.  A weak Yuan, makes their exports cheap; but China is an economy of dependency, and relies upon dollars to pay bills.

Against this growing internal financial crisis, videos seem to confirm Chinese military moving into regions around Hong Kong as protests continue.  Hong Kong nationals staged a three-day protest at Hong Kong’s international airport to draw attention to their plight.

.

HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong police fired tear gas at demonstrators in the working class district of Sham Shui Po on Sunday, as yet another day of protest marches turned into a confrontation between police and activists.

Ten straight weekends of increasingly violent protests have plunged Hong Kong into its most serious political crisis in decades, posing a challenge to the central government in Beijing.(link)

Many voices in the west have forgotten the lessons from Tienanmen Square, when the central Chinese government used the Mongolian army regulars to gain control over the protests. The authoritarian Chinese government is communist at its central core; despite the party leadership’s corruption and capitalistic wealth.

Videos show the Chinese military are moving into Hong Kong to position themselves against those voices who are demanding the region remain a free and autonomous open society.

In Hong Kong, carrie lam(b) cheng yuet ngor has authorized lethal force against kids protesting for democracy and freedom. But here in the US, our president continues to think HK is “sufficiently autonomous”. Shooting at point blank.

Epstein is no Different than Magnitsky


What is most curious is the United States accused Russia of killing a man in prison Sergei Magnitsky because he would have revealed corruption in the Russian police. Here we have the USA accusing Russia and passing the Magnitsky Act because a Russian dies in a Russian prison which is exactly what takes place in the USA all the time – i.e. Jeffrey Epstein.

The real story is more likely that Western powers paid to have Magnitsky killed in a Russian prison for he would have exposed the attempt to blackmail Borris Yeltsin to step down which is how Putin gained office. They wanted to force Yeltsin to appoint their stooge Boris Berezovsky to run Russia on behalf of the New York bankers and the West where they could control the oil, gas, gold, and diamond markets. Magnitsky was the accountant for Hermitage Capital which was begun by Edmund Safra who was killed in Monaco and then Berezovsky apparently also felt remorse and hung himself in London after fleeing Russia.

Epstein was placed on suicide watch when he was found with marks on his neck on July 23, 2019. There were daily psychological assessments conducted on him which were standard in MCC when you are held in the notorious “hole” (10 South). But at the end the month, psychologists with the Bureau of Prisons took him off suicide watch and cleared him to return to his cell in the Special Housing Unit known as the “hole” (10 South) which takes a lot of mental fortitude to withstand. Amazing, he is cleared and then commits suicide in a cell locked down 24 hours a day?

Here we have the US accusing Russia of killing a Russian in prison before he was given a trial which is precisely the way they operate in the United States. Tulsi Gabbard took on Sen. Kamala Harris exposing her record as a prosecutor. I do not care if they are Republican or Democrat, NEVER should anyone who has ever been a prosecutor be allowed in the White House. That will end all civil liberties forever!!!!!!

Senator Harris withheld evidence that proved a man she was trying to execute was innocent. This is the type of person we want to lead any government? I have NEVER met anyone who has EVER been a prosecutor to date that has any sense of morality or conscience. Any prosecutor who has EVER done what Harris did should be sentenced to the same fate they wrongfully tried to impose on another.

NY Times: Helicopter Boom Above Urban Areas Highlights the Privilege of “the 1%”


Published on Aug 5, 2019

The helicopter travel boom over urban areas highlights the yawning income inequality between the people trapped in traffic jams below and those who rise above it all because of their power and privilege, according to The New York Times. Should “the 1%” be allowed to go from downtown to the airport in eight minutes while the people crawl across the ground for an hour and a half to accomplish the same objective?

President Trump Drops Sunlight MOAT on The Capital of Cultural Marxism…


Today is a day that Andrew Breitbart would have called epic.  President Trump tweets truth bomb message (Mother of all Tweets), directly into the heart of Hollywood.

Background: NBC/Comcast/Universal produced a movie called “The Hunt”.  The basic synopsis is a twisted storyline of wealthy thrill-seeking liberals taking a private jet to a five-star resort where they embark on a “deeply rewarding” expedition that involves hunting down and killing designated humans, “deplorables”.

The Hollywood Reporter explains how the violent movie “follows a dozen MAGA types who wake up in a clearing and realize they are being stalked for sport by elite liberals.” Outside the production group very few people have seen the script, but THR noted that characters in the film refer to the victims as “deplorables” – the same term Hillary Clinton infamously dubbed Trump supporters during the 2016 election.

The report noted that a character asks, “Did anyone see what our ratf–ker-in-chief just did?”  “At least The Hunt’s coming up. Nothing better than going out to the Manor and slaughtering a dozen deplorables,” a character responds, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

No doubt, as you read this – there is an urgent crisis response team in Hollywood reacting to the building backlash.

In the liberal echo-chamber the movie sounded like a great idea; what’s more fun that watching the far-left go out and kill Trump supporters.  You can imagine the glee-filled producers and script writers pitching the idea to an enthusiastic group of like-minded Hollywood liberals.  However, step outside of that echo-chamber and what they are doing is showcasing the logical conclusion to their ideology.

President Trump drawing attention to what they have produced is not just politically devastating, it causes a recoil…. something the far-left fear more than anything.

Yes, President Trump has dropped a MOAT of sunlight, the mother of all tweets, directly into the heart of Hollywood.  The freakout will commence. Watch what happens next…

Here’s the movie trailer (warning, it’s disturbing):

A Career for the Future?


QUESTION: Dear Mr. Armstrong,
First of all, I have to say that I admire your economic confidence model and I am grateful that you publish your blog posts publicly. Hopefully, I will make it to one of your conferences one day and get to know you.
Probably most of your subscribers are a bit older than me but I am sure there are a few who also have to make a decision regarding their career: Which jobs do you think will be future-proof in finance, banking and at the stock exchange? Especially in the age of AI and the crash in 2032 ahead of us?
Thank you!
E.H.

ANSWER: Life is a journey in which we are to learn. Some say when we stop learning, it is time to die. I think I ascribe to that for that has been what has kept me going. As long as there is something new to learn, then life is interesting to motivate the soul to continue on. It is when we reach that crossroad when there is nothing left to learn that life becomes mundane and it easier to leave than to stay.

This is critical to understand in the pursuit of a career for the economy will always evolve with technology and the key to survival is to remain flexible to move with the flow as it unfolds. A single career for life is probably not the way of the future. That was good during the 50s to 80s, but with the evolution of the internet, things have changed.

If we assume that society does not crash and burn resulting in the internet ending, then technology will be critical for most fields. It would be good to get a background in programming for it will become like knowing how to read and write. In other words, it would not dictate that you become a programmer as a fulltime career. Rather, you will be able to understand the technology and adapt to it as we move forward.

My greatest fear is the collapse of SOCIALISM, meaning pensions and political promises that rest upon class warfare that run the risk of a major crash and burn. The end result would be closer to the Russian Communist Revolution, and will end in a lot of bloodshed for the political class will blame the rich for their failures rather than the fact that they have engaged in fiscal mismanagement for decades since World War II.

My advice is to get a grasp of technology for each field will evolve in that direction if we can avoid the crash and burn that brings society to another Dark Age

Twitter Suspends Mitch McConnell Campaign Account for Sharing Death Threats Against Mitch McConnell…


Black Lives Matter Louisville leader Chanelle Helm is a political activist who has met with numerous high profile politicians, including current presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, to advance the identity politics of her movement.

Ms. Chanelle Helm posted video to her Facebook page showing a protest Monday at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s house. Ms. Helm was proud.

Ms. Helm was shouting: “just stab the motherf—er in the heart.”  F*ck yo neck, b*tch. Murder Turtle! Murder Turtle! … F*ck yo thoughts and prayers … F*ck you, f*ck yo wife, f*ck everything you stand for.”

To highlight the hypocrisy of the radical leftists, several social media and twitter accounts began sharing the video of Ms. Helm’s call to violence; including the twitter account of Mitch McConnell.

In response to the video showing how violent Ms. Chanelle Helm is, and bringing forth the transparency of sunlight upon the group’s objectives, Twitter began demanding the videos and tweets must be removed.  Failure to remove the video results in the twitter account being suspended from the platform.  Twitter suspended Mitch McConnell’s account.

(WASHINGTON) […] Twitter locked the account Wednesday, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal. The social media giant has told the campaign that the account will remain locked until the video of protesters is deleted.

“This morning, Twitter locked our account for posting the video of real-world, violent threats made against Mitch McConnell. This is a problem with the speech police in America today,” McConnell campaign manager Kevin Golden said. “The Lexington Herald-Leader can attack Mitch with cartoon tombstones of his opponents. But we can’t mock it.” (read more)

Now many people have noted there appears to be something rather ideologically disconnected by this action from the corporation known as Twitter.

Social media quickly recognized that Twitter was trying to protect Ms. Helm from the consequences of her own behavior… an action that only happens in one direction.

CTH has followed the modern BLM movement, and all of the various tentacles that came since it’s original inception as the ‘Dream Defenders‘ (circa ’10), the answer to the question of why Twitter would do this is evident in one picture.

@KamVTV

This is insane. Liberals can threaten and doxx people online and they get a free pass. @Team_Mitch posts a video of Elizabeth Warren supporter threatening Mitch McConnell’s life at his home and Team Mitch gets suspended.

But no bias here right? https://twitter.com/realsaavedra/status/1159189557490774016

@RealSaavedra

Twitter asked me yesterday to delete this tweet:

It showed a person allegedly calling for violence against Mitch McConnell

The person appears to be a BLM activist who has met with Elizabeth Warren

I said no and they suspended me *and* McConnell’s re-election campaign

McConnell’s re-election campaign, @Team_Mitch, also shared the video, presumably to show the hatred and violence from the Democrats

Twitter also suspended their account for sharing the video

Again: Twitter suspended McConnell’s campaign for showing the hatred directed at him

Here are the messages that McConnell’s re-election campaign received from Twitter telling them that they could not expose the hatred coming from the Democrat Party directed at McConnell

Twitter, the corporation, is in a long-term social justice partnership with Black Lives Matter.  The relationship, which includes financial payments as an insurance policy of sorts, it is part of the risk management portfolio for the social media company.

The same simpatico relationship exists with Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and a host of social media platforms.  The events in/around Sanford, FL (2012); Ferguson, MO (2014) and Baltimore Maryland (2015), were not just purposeful; they were quite financially lucrative for the identity network.  After all, they learned at the knee of the master:

Former FBI Asst. Director of Counter Intelligence Floats Conspiracy of President Trump Using Code Words To Trigger Nazis…


If you ever wondered why the FBI would ignore warnings from Russia about the Boston Marathon bombers; or if you ever wondered how the FBI could overlook the warnings from local residents about the San Bernardino terrorists; or if you ever wondered how and why the FBI would ignore reports from the Florida sheriff about the Pulse Nightclub terrorist; or if you ever wondered why the FBI ignored the repeated warnings about the Parkland shooter…. well, here’s the answer.  Try to fathom this focused stupidity.

Mr. Frank Figliuzzi is the former Asst. Director of the FBI for Counterintelligence. Figliuzzi is now an MSNBC expert.  The former FBI official is promoting a conspiracy theory that President Trump is sending secret coded signals to white supremacists. According to Figliuzzi, the President told government to keep U.S. flags flying at half-staff until August 8th, because Donald Trump was really saying heil Hitler.   WATCH (02:48)

This is a former FBI Counterintelligence Asst. Director.  According to the FBI logic President Trump is now “redflagged” as a subversive agent of a terrorist ideology.

If this level of total moonbattery was/is the focus of the FBI, then clearly this is the level of incompetence that explains why the FBI has failed miserably in their duties.

Congressman Joaquin Castro Doubles-Down on Intent to Target President Trump Supporters…


Joaquin Castro is personifying the ‘Mamet Principle’ as he justifies his action in posting lists of President Trump donors/supporters for targeting by political opposition.

Pretending an action is something else, other than what is clearly evident in that action, is exactly the approach used by leftists to deflect from their behavior; it is also the way leftists turn themselves into victims as an outcome of their own activity.

To deconstruct this illogical fallacy, direct questions must be asked.

Direct questions, perhaps uncomfortable questions, which cannot be avoided by deflection and obfuscation; and cut to the heart of the matter.  Example: If your intention is to make public the identification of private citizens contributing to your political opposition, then would you support federal legislation requiring all Trump supporters to wear visible armbands or insignia in public?

.

Here’s a video discussion with one of the people identified in Castro’s “Hit List”. What is described is exactly the outcome that Representative Castro denies in his justification.

Mark Hanrahan, the CEO of MidAmerican Aerospace, speaks exclusively to Fox News Digital about Rep. Joaquin Castro’s tweet identifying him and dozens of Trump donors in the San Antonio area.
