ICIJ’s Political Agenda May Backfire


Mossack Fonseca logo

Wile the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists  (ICIJ) has clearly targeted Putin, in doing so when it is his aids rather than him personally calls into question what is their real political agenda. Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson resigned just 2 days after the papers were released. Reports say that 12 current or former heads of state are mentioned. Who are they protecting will be very interesting since targeting Putin makes this more of a political plot.

Nevertheless, this is coming precisely in line with the other side of 2015.75, which we warned would prove to be the peak in government. This is playing directly into the cycles where our model has been warning we are facing the collapse in confidence in government; i.e. politicians. This is truly the driving force behind Trump. But this massive leak may have far more political implications than merely targeting rich people who have a secret stash.

To what extent will this leak alter politics in an era of rising middle-class discontent and declining living standards as socialism collapses. This leak is more likely to fuel further anger among those who blame politicians and see the corruption boiling to the surface. The journalists are really closet socialists and have hoped that this will inspire the public to hand more control to government as a backlash against what they hoped to prove was the middle class is carrying a disproportionate share of the burden in supporting a system that seems to them unfair because the rich have more. They do not look at government and the corruption. Instead, they just want to blame the rich for having more than they do in traditional Marxist view of the world. They do not bother to ask why does government always have to raise taxes proving they cannot manage the economy. If someone managed your funds and lost whatever you gave them each month and then blamed the bankers so give them more to manage again, how many time will you keep giving them more money when they never produce a profit? The hedge funds and Wall Street own Hillary, yet they will never expose such connections and truly investigate her past. This illustrates that they too have a political agenda.

This revelation may actually backfire and produce far more political damage than just hunting the rich, which has been the ICIJ’s agenda. They may have contributed to the collapse of socialism and never understand the consequences of their actions.

The Panama Papers, Where the Super Rich Hide their Wealth


Mossack Fonseca logo

A lot of emails have been coming in with regard to the Panama Papers. Let me say this from the outset; Panama has been the key place to establish offshore accounts for decades. An insider has stolen all documents and handed to the press. This was not a government hack. The press has not made all the documents available and that is curious for they too can be protecting favored people. We now have the biggest document leak in history exposing world leaders and their secretive offshore financial dealings. Some 11.5 million documents have been leaked from a Panama-based law firm with offices in 35 countries; Mossack Fonseca. This leak has exposed a trove of confidential financial dealings by the elites of aides to Russian President Vladimir Putin all the way to relatives of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Naturally, the press likes to focus on Putin. There is much more hidden behind the press curtain.

The stash of records from legal firm Mossack Fonseca was obtained from an anonymous source by German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung which they then shared with more than 100 media groups by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). The documents show links to 72 current or former heads of state including dictators. The ICIJ is hell bent on attacking the rich, not politicians. So the question really is, are the protecting fellow socialists?

While the elite seek to hunt people for taxes, they often live separate financial lives. What has been also exposed is the tremendous conflicts of interest. Iceland’s Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson had secretly owned millions of dollars of bank bonds during his country’s financial crisis when the country’s financial system collapsed and banks had to be bailed out. Thousands are now demanding Iceland’s Prime Minister resign over ‘Panama Papers’ revelations.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I would suspect that the Clinton’s might have some exposure here as well but time will tell. When Obama came to office, he and Hillary immediately pushed through Congress a free trade deal for Panama which enabled money laundering to move into high gear. Hillary is worth $45 million more than any other Republican hopeful except Trump. How has she earned so much yet working in government? All my sources have warned about the Clintons for years being available to the highest bidder. Hillary and Panama go much deeper. If you open a corporation in Nevada, you do not have to declare who is the actual owner. That company can then engage in Panama and such names will never show up in the leak.

Then there is  David Cameron’s father, who died in 2010, is reported to have used Mossack Fonseca to shield his investment fund, ­Blairmore Holdings Inc, from UK taxes. Cameron has come under pressure to take real steps to end tax evasion. This will probably have some impact of distrust of Cameron given his father’s involvement in the Panama Papers.

The question that needs to be answered is really how extensive is this leak? A really smart person would set up a corporation in another jurisdiction such as Nevada and then have that be the entity  Mossack Fonseca dealt with yet not knowing the true identity of the person behind the mask. I have personal experience in this matter because offers to manage money often traced back to Panama.

I personally gave up managing money for individuals because in one instance, I discovered I was managing money for Libya’s former leader Muammar Gaddafi not once, but TWICE. The back office of Rudolf Wolf in London where clients opened accounts, were diligent in checking who was behind the companies. It was not illegal back then in the mid 1980s. Nonetheless, they traced shell company to shell company and after about 6 months, they informed me they established the real owner of the funds. It was  Muammar Gaddafi and it was through Panama. I had thought I was dealing with a Royal family member of Saudi Arabia. I closed the account. Within months, I found myself again managing money for Gaddafi once again unknowingly and it traced to Panama.

herald_squareIn Geneva, the Gaon’s family threw a big party for me and had offered $5 million to create Armstrong Brokerage using my name. The family originated in Turkey but moved to Egypt. The family business established in the Sudan. In 1957 David Gaon moved to Geneva where he built up a world-wide business corporation in import-export, investment, and real estate, including one of Geneva’s biggest hotels, the Noga (GAON) Hilton. The invited me to the grand opening in 1982 of Herald Center in New York City which they constructed on the old E.J. Korvette site. This turned out to be one of four prominent Manhattan buildings secretly owned by Philippine head of state Ferdinand Marcos.The press claimed it was fronted by New York brothers Joseph and Ralph Bernstein. However, there was a lot more behind that. Silent partners included not just Marcos, but Gaddafi and the notorious alleged arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, who was a Saudi Arabian businessman. At his peak in net worth at that time during the 1980s, he was said to have been worth up to $10 billion and was considered one of the richest men in the world. The FBI even visited my office back then when Marcos fled the Philippines asking me where was his gold he stole from the country’s reserves. They would not believe me that I did not personally advise Marcos.

Masqereaid

 

What I can say is that everything for decades seemed to trace back to Panama. It became one giant masquerade party when you really did not know who you were dealing with. This is what really led me to turn only to institutions back in 1985.

This leak is going to prove to be devastating. While Hollande of France cannot wait to get his hands on whatever money he can grab from this, let us make not mistake. There are 72 current or former heads of state including dictators all involved in these documents. Will the ICIJ really release everything? Or will they protect still some politicians because they are socialists out to get the rich as they are? What this illustrates above all, how can you trust any such firm anymore.

Why Europe is Failing: The Difference Between EU & USA — for Now!


Moelbeck Angry Crowd

Part of the crisis in the EU is the fact that there is an inherent anti-democratic foundation because Brussels has been attempting to force uniformity upon all of Europe which cannot possibly work. To the shock of some, I have stated many times that what made America function was DISCRIMINATION. Every group coming to America — German, Italian, French, or whatever — were forced to learn to speak English to get a job. This was not a law, but a cultural assimilation. If you ask an American what they are, they will respond with their ethnic background (half Irish and half German or whatever). You do not find such combinations in Europe beyond the rare encounter because language has kept European nations intact.

I ADDED THIS TO WHAT ARMSTRONG WROTE

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS; A FRENCH LAWYER AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHER MONTESQUIEU, WHO LIVED DURING THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT, PUBLISHED A BOOK TITLED “THE SPIRIT OF THE LAWS” IN 1748 IN WHICH HE STATED THAT THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT FOR A PEOPLE HAD TO BE IN TUNE WITH THE SENTIMENTS OF THE PEOPLE. 

MULTICULTURALISM CAN NOT WORK AND IT WILL DESTROY ANY COUNTRY THAT TRIES IT, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE CULTURE IN A COUNTRY.

Consequently, the creation of a unified EU is unrealistic with language differences. From that basic fact emerges everything else. Since we have a single language in the USA, there is a national debate as to national security, etc. In Europe, there is no such debate. In fact, one could be criminally prosecuted for speaking an opinion against any other group. After a terrorist attack, they show people crying and lighting candles. The manhunt that resulted in finding the suspect, Salah Abdeslam, just 450 meters from where he officially lived demonstrates something that they will not express on TV: he cannot hide within the community without support from the community. The above photo showing locals gesturing angrily at the police who sealed off a Molenbeek neighborhood where Abdeslam was arrested is very disturbing for the implications suggest that Abdeslam had community support. Their language and cultural differences prevent many from assimilating within society. Any group that seeks to retain wholly distinct cultural differences cannot become part of a society. This really does not limit itself to Muslims, but any foreign group that resists becoming part of the country to which they moved. That would be as if I went to Rome, demanded everyone speak English, and then complained that they do not because that is where I moved. The old saying that stems from the migration in ancient times: “

Any group that seeks to retain wholly distinct cultural differences cannot become part of a society. This does not limit itself to Muslims, but any foreign group that resists becoming part of the country to which they moved. That would be as if I went to Rome, demanded everyone speak English, and then complained that they do not because that is where I moved. The old saying that stems from the migration in ancient times: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

The fact that the EU member states retained their own cultures and languages simply means the idea of the EU cannot function. It should have remained as an economic union. Hollande explained that the purpose of the EU was to prevent another European war, but he completely misunderstands that an economy unites but a forced assimilation without a common language only highlights the differences. His policy on asylum was very clear on July 10, 2015. Everything the EU was supposed to promote has failed. The idea that a single federal government would provide economic prosperity has proven false, as is the fact that they would provide greater security together.

The Greens’ deputy prime minister, Åsa Romson, broke down in tears when she announced measures to deter asylum seekers in a reversal of Sweden’s open-door policy towards people fleeing war and persecution. “This is a terrible decision,” she later said.

Europe could not become a United States with different languages and cultures. Why attempt to federalize Europe in such a manner under the theory that it will prevent Germany and France from going to war with each other? It ignores the fact that there are external enemies as well. Forcing a one-size-fits-all policy is anti-democratic and anti-cultural. The strength of Europe cannot be boosted with federalization, but only with an economic union. Crossing over and demanding other countries accept refugees against their own cultural policies will break the very union the EU sought to create.

Each member state has cultural differences that extend beyond language. The cultural ideas of Eastern Europeans are not even understood by Western Europeans. I have personal friends from Eastern Europe and the foundation of their belief system after growing up under communism is to distrust government. Western Europeans embrace government and see it as a parent who is there to protect and provide for them. An economic union works, a forced assimilation does not.

Fearless Truth Teller Sarah Palin Tells Gobsmacked Wisconsin GOP Audience About Ted Cruz Giving “Gift Baskets” To Illegal Aliens…


Just one of many Cruz deceptions that PROVE he is an integral part of the RNC/GOPe pans to move the United States of America into the New World Order (NWO) sphere of countries. Initially I would guess they are looking at North and Central America the EU and Great Britain to start but they would also like to bring the Middle East. There goal in to inter breed that group into a single hybrid race with a single language and culture. This will, of course, never work and will result in war but they will try never the less.

Rule 40(b): Republicans Set the Stage to Select the Establishment Candidate


As expected, the Republican Party will not follow the candidate who the people select in the primaries. Rule 40(b), which requires a presidential candidate to win eight states to qualify for the nomination, has been scrapped for the upcoming convention in Cleveland. Rule 40(b) was a special rule to prevent Ron Paul’s name from being introduced. Under the present circumstances, the very rule used to put Mitt Romney in the candidate slot would prevent anyone but Trump from being the candidate.

Rule 40(b) only applied to the 2012 Republican Convention in Tampa, Florida, that nominated former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. The chairman is trying to pretend that the delegates pick the nominee, but if they can stop Trump on the first ballot then they are free to vote for whoever they want, which nullifies the entire primary process.

The ceiling will start to crumble when the American people see that their votes do not really count. The establishment picks the nominee — not the people. They will try to do their best to pretend this is a democratic process, but if anyone other than Trump becomes the candidate it will prove that the right to vote is meaningless.

Markets in Review for the Close of Q1 2016


Markets-03312016

When you have a consistent system that is running on absolutely everything around the world, you can simply look at it dispassionately and judge everything by the same standards. In gold, euro, Canadian dollar, DAX, and many other markets, we generally moved to weekly, monthly and/or quarterly reversals and then stopped shy of electing them. This typically reflects the reactionary phase that takes people as far as they can go as they buy the high, expecting the trend to continue. They are always trapped in this manner, regardless of the market we are looking at. This emotional human response applies in markets and politics.

Sling-Shot-R

There was one noted exception: the Dow. The Dow is the blue chip index, which is the trophy investment for BIG INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL. It did not make a new low, as did the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. The chart pattern is instinctively far more bullish than even the DAX in nominal terms. I have warned that the markets speak to us. Some have asked if the Dow had to make a new low under that of 2015. I stated that the answer was NO. We accomplished our goal of breaking last year’s low to set the stage for a slingshot move to the upside. The Dow was the ONLY real market to elect long-term monthly and quarterly buy signals. We are still waiting for the Weekly Bullish, which has been flirting with the 17750 area.

The market is trying to tell us, “Hey fool, this is not your typical scenario.” All we are waiting for is everyone to wake up and smell the roses before they close the coffin. When the general public at large stops watching sports and guzzling beer and begins to get off their asses and say enough is enough, then we will see this shift from public to private.

Marie-Antoinette

Trump is the symptom, not the cause. He just shoots off his mouth and wrongly assumes it is him that the people love. But he is seriously wrong. Trump illustrates just how corrupt the system truly is as we can visibly see how negatively the press treats him at every possible moment. They have their marching orders from the establishment to stop giving him a free ride. The establishment is vowing not to support Trump even if he wins. This further demonstrates that we are just the Great Unwashed; if the people really voted for Trump, those in power would not give a shit. It’s almost worth voting for Trump just to see how corrupt these people openly become, but I think they would assassinate him if history is our guide.

Those in power see this as their country and their rule. How dare the people rise up. Just who do they think they are anyway? Sound familiar? “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche” or “Let them eat cake,” Marie-Antoinette (bride of France’s King Louis XVI) supposedly sniffed. With that callous remark, she became a hated symbol of the decadent monarchy and fueled the revolution that would cause her to (literally) lose her head several years later. While some argue she did not really say that, those were the words attributed to her by the people. She lost her head because of those words, so it really does not matter if she said them or meant them to that extent. The arrogance of those in power today is no different. The audacity of Cruz, who says he will not support the Republican candidate, demonstrates that this is no democratic process. As long as the people vote for whomever the establishment crowns, then the pretense we live in continues. His words demonstrate he will sell the people down the river, which is no different from Hillary doing whatever the establishment tells her or Obama who called the NSA unconstitutional under Bush and then took it even further when in office.

2017-Budget Deficit

There is no doubt that those in power ALWAYS develop that same attitude of distain against the people they truly view as the ignorant, Great Unwashed. We are the Great Unwashed: too stupid to know how to run a country and too ignorant to know what is best for ourselves. Only the elite know best. So when they abuse their power to the extreme and raise our taxes insanely because they are incompetent and too dishonest to ever manage the affairs of state, then the people will rise up as they always do. It does not matter if it is Hillary or Cruz, for both will raise taxes to maintain socialism, which is rapidly becoming unsustainable.

Above is the government’s own forecast on the budget — not mine. Every politician knows we are screwed since Social Security and Medicare go negative in 2017, yet no one talks about it in the elections and the press is dead silent. The mainstream press is too busy lining their pockets with their privileged position of being the real check against government as envisioned in the First Amendment. They view their right to free speech as an opportunity to bullish us to support their own political agenda that they sell to the highest bidder. So we are close to the tipping point, but not quite there just yet. You will start to hear about this budget crisis next year after the elections.

The markets are positioning themselves now. The Dow still reflects the international net capital movement. Even in debt, blue chip corporations have NEVER defaulted, but governments always do. People tell themselves this time will be different and that the past is no longer a guide since we are technologically advanced now. Politicians are thieves today as they were centuries ago. Technology changes, yes, but humanity never does.

The Dow is confirming what our long-term forecast is saying. The rest of the markets reflect that we are not quite ready for prime time. Do not worry, it’s coming. Just watch the arrays for WHEN.

Stunning New Poll – Despite all Endorsements 58% of Wisconsin Republicans Refuse To Support Ted Cruz…


When 100% of the political class wants to destroy trump and spends huge amounts of money to do so you know that Trump is on the right track —- with great certainty.

The war against US started in 1963 when Kennedy was assassinated and what those that want to rule us had in mind for us was started — We are now at the end of the road and Trumps enemies know that they must stop him at any cost or their 50 some year plan of taking down the Republic for their personal gain will be stopped. DO NOT LET THEM WIN!

 How did we get from the world of the early 60’s to where we are now?
