Politically Correct Insanity

Political Correct

“The Associated Press Stylebook” lists all the “politically correct” terms you should use. The term “Islamist” is now defined as “An advocate or supporter of a political movement that favors reordering government and society in accordance with laws prescribed by Islam.” They go on to explain you should not use the term Islamic “fighters, militants, extremists, or radicals” and instead state “al-Qaida-linked, Hezbollah, Taliban, etc.”

Record Numbers of Americans Resigning Citizenship

Taxman

 

The number of Americans resigning their citizenship has reached record highs. Americans were thrown out of everywhere after FATCA was enacted. Due to FATCA, foreign institutions must report anything an American is doing outside the country or that institution’s assets will be confiscated. I myself find it impossible to do business internationally as I used to, for no foreign bank will allow an American to open an account. FATCA just assumes anything anyone does outside the country is to hide money. Even entering a partnership overseas does not help for any American involvement triggers their reporting requirements to the USA. So while there may be a threshold of $50,000, the net impact is that no foreign institution is willing to take the risk so they simply refuse to allow Americans to open an account.

Political Change in 2020 or 2016

President-3rdParty

QUESTION: 

Dear Marty,

We are heading straight into the hurricane, and as you correctly say, there is no way of reversing the trend.

At this point, should Hillary (or Cruz for that matter) win the elections, she would have to face and preside over the coming inevitable crash and burn. This would be the only way for the silent majority to ultimately put a de facto blame on the establishment. The house of cards comes down all at once.

Wouldn’t at this point, from a timing perspective, be more logical that the 2020 elections (also ECM turning point) will be the right time and place for a third party candidate to emerge as we raise up from the ashes? Of course, since the Great Depression produced FDR, there is clearly a risk of a total opposite outcome: more establishment.

SB

House-3rdParty

ANSWER: I think the 2020 target is too late. Keep in mind this was NOT me making a forecast. The computer projected a huge third party (anti-establishment) vote beginning in 2016. By the time we get to 2020, we may be looking at a complete revamp of the monetary system. On January 1, 2017, G20 begins sharing all info on everyone. They are collapsing the world economy and it really looks like things will go nuts in 2018.

Keep in mind that if the Republicans nominate anyone BUT Trump, it will prove that there is no right to vote. We may see a backlash begin and a sharp rise in third party candidates in Congress. By 2018, that looks revolutionary at the Congressional level. So it appears that Trump has the majority of delegates, but if they give it to Cruz or Romney holy hell will be unleashed for it will prove the system is corrupt.

2016-PresElection

Our computer models clearly favor a Republican victory this year. However, assuming the Republican Party self-destructs, they may very well hand this to Hillary. Trump would not really want to be president during this crash and burn. It is better that the establishment will not get to blame him for what they have caused.

PRESELECBy 2020, it just looks completely nuts. Here is our chart on this from 1995. We can see that the spike in the third party is rising. This is in line with the War Model that is projecting a rise in civil unrest. By 2032, the West should capitulate and the financial capitol of the world will move to Asia. China should bottom in 2020, so the other side of that target will be the rise of Asia. The damage we are looking at here is the collapse of socialism from Social Security to pensions.

Ironically, those in former communist regions are in better shape because they are far more self-sufficient than those in the West who still believe in government. From that perspective alone, those populations are not dependent upon government, which replaced the family structure in the West. What children today save to take care of their parents? That’s government’s job.

Odd Media Tremors Via DC/White House Might Indicate Benghazi Committee Wrapping Up?….


We all know that the State Department and the CIA were both involved with Turkey and other Sunni states to run weapons for Libya to the Islamic rebels in Syria. The plan was the CIA/State Department’s and the money was Arabic and the DOD had to have known about it as well. So we are lead to believe that Obama didn’t know anything about this — very hard to belief. Now why would they do this well my theory is that its to get Hillary off the hock for the Classified emails. She will claim that all of them that she saw were not classified and so if they really were then someone took them the classification off without her knowledge. So therefore Hillary and Barack were both innocence as this was a rough operation being run by maybe by the CIA without their knowledge. Clinton will be exonerated and that will be the end of the sordid mess. And if anyone actually beliefs any of this I’d like to make some deals with them.

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.

The Press & Establishment Accuse Farage & Trump of Racism


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Mar 30, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Trump-Farage

Those in power who have something to lose follow the same pattern of attacks. They are using the very same tactics against Trump & Farage portraying them as Racists because both are against immigration but really against the establishment. When I was in London, I bumped into the very same team from the USA that helped Clinton win the White House were there helping Tony Blair. This is a business, and they know how to pull it all together. They turn trying to protect your border and culture into racism. The implication is obvious. Everyone should intermarry regardless of sex, race, or religion. If a parent is against that statement for their child, then obviously they must be a racist.

1844 Phila Nativism Riot Againt Irish

Immigration has always been a historical issue that rises whenever the economy turns down. During the 1840s, it turned into violence on the streets. They were Irish who were Christian and white. It was just that they were taking jobs in an economic decline. Farage’s UKIP is being portrayed as racist and what is the alternative? Opening borders in this time and place has nothing to do with racism any more than it did in the 1840s. These are economic declining times and absolutely the WRONG instant to bring in any immigrants whatsoever regardless of race or religion.

Nevertheless, this is how Trump and Farage are being portrayed and the less intelligent to the less sophisticated buy this nonsense and repeat it. The end result is rather blunt. Historically, this is just simply how the West falls – the same as Rome. There were laws passed to prevent intermarriage. It was even outlawed for a man to marry one of his slaves. There has always been the attempt to prevent the dilution of a culture for that is how it typically ends anyway. Throughout history, people swarm into the core economy and then bring it down. The Muslim invasion of Europe shows that nearly 80% of the migrants are not even from Syria. This is simply how it all ends. The interesting aspect is that a Muslim friend of mine in Europe is even more against the migrants for they see them as the lower class and less educated who are indoctrinated with religious beliefs that are extreme. The Muslims I know in Europe and Russia are not extreme and live within a western society with harmony. If they are against the migration, it does not seem to really be a racist issue; just economic and that is what the propagandists are using because Trump and Farage are against the establishment – plain and simple.

So to those who want to say no, Trump and Farage supporters are racists, then they have no problem with your daughter marrying a different race migrant, changing their religion, and wearing a Hijab, niqab, or burka for the rest of their lives. If you have any problem with that, you must be a racist. Sorry – it’s politics as usual. (In my case, I told my daughter she better not bring home a prosecutor).

Sometimes the Impossible Becomes Possible


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Mar 28, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Impossible-Possible

hopeSome people can face adversity and others want to hide and pretend nothing is happening. What might seems to be impossible with respect to political reform to save our future, actually becomes entirely probable. What you have to grasp here is that the news may be negative. However, it is that negativity that finally lights that one remaining match creating an explosion. They say that HOPE is eternal; perhaps. But while I tried very hard to make a difference and work from the inside on Capitol Hill, it is true I gave up. What I saw led me to believe I was wasting my time and above all it was pointless.

RobberIf you are walking down the street and a guy comes up with a gun and says – Your money or your life? Do you begin to preach that it is illegal to have a gun without a license? Whatever the rules or law might be, such things are totally irrelevant. He has the gun and you do not.

I laugh at those who thing corporations are evil and ignore government. They are typically weak-minded and easily influenced by propaganda. I may not be a fan of NY Bankers who have engaged in manipulating markets and buying government to stay out of jail. But let’s make no mistake. They do not have the guns and tanks to rob us of our freedom. Only government can oppress the people by sheer force of arms. Nonetheless, politicians always blame the “rich” to get elected and never themselves.

Head in SandOur HOPE will be very simple. We have to CRASH AND BURN first. Without that pain, there is no reform and gain. Nobody will change anything before the system fails. It is unrealistic to see this message as BAD to justify hiding int the shadows. If you understand what is unfolding, the good news is you understand what the game is about and you can help in our time of need. We do not need someone hiding their head in the sand because if they do not comprehend how we have reached this point, they will be just blind fools handing more right to those who have created this nightmare. Therefore, what seems impossible (political reform) becomes possible only when the majority open their eyes.

The Donald Trump of China Ren Zhiquiang


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Mar 26, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Ren Zhiquiang

The number one issue concerning Donald Trump is the misrepresentation that this is about Trump. We are watching a worldwide uprising against government. This is the West’s version of 1989 which took down Communism. We are witnessing opposition to the establishment everywhere from Germany, France, and Britain, to even China. The Chinese version of Donald Trump is Ren Zhiquiang, who has defied the Communist Party Leader President Xi Jinpeng. Normally, anyone who would criticize the head of the party would end up in prison. Things are changing on a global scale. This is what our computer model has been warning would lie on the other side of 2015.75. What has emerged in China is rather amazing, for the sophisticated Chinese people, including scholars, journalists, students and dissidents, have all supported Ren against the Chinese Communist Party. That is quite amazing and unprecedented in modern times.

The “establishment” in so many countries are refusing to connect the dots. There is a change in the political winds and what is coming is something that takes place about once every 309.6 years. The last change in the political wind produced the American Revolution against monarch which caught on in France, and eventually in England structurally. The question is what will the wind blow into town this time? Democracy at last? Or will be it be more oppression from the establishment?

The Dutch Do Not Tolerate Freedom of Speech


Armsgtrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Mar 20, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Geert Wilders

The Dutch are destroying the last vestiges of our liberty until the pretense of protecting it. They are putting on trial a right-wing Dutch politician named Geert Wilders for what they call inciting hatred and discrimination against the Dutch Moroccan minority. Thi8s is a legal contest that will destroy civilization itself and unravel everything we once held fundamental to freedom. Wilders argued that calling Morrocans “scum” is protected by his right to freedom of speech. The government prosecutors looking as always to advance their careers no matter what the cost to society argue that his claim “Freedom of expression is not absolute, it is paired with obligations and responsibilities, the responsibility not to set groups of people against each other,” declared lead prosecutor Wouter Bos.
This legal position is unbelievable. Acting out some physical harm is one thing. To call someone a name is basic human interaction from a school yard all the way up. The prosecutors want to be famous. Well they will go down in history as the the team which pulled the foundation stone out and the whole thing collapsed. This is the core of communism. Children were raised that the STATE was their parent and if their biological parent said anything against the STATE, they should be reported. Without freedom of expression, nothing else can exist. There cannot be any truth for to say what you think becomes a crime. It is becoming time that governments have simply gone way too far. They should just take everything we have, hand out a sack of beans a day and rags for cloths and get it over with. I suppose they could imprison Trump for life with thought crimes.
