Troops Inspecting People at Canadian Border

Re-Posted Nov 15, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: Hi Martin
Here’s an update on a new militarization event on a USA-to-Canada vehicle border crossing at Port-Huron bridge, MI.
At 3 am Sat morning I was bottled necked at the Toll bridge, on the USA side, with only one lane open for both truck and car traffic.
The short of the story, is that there were 8 armed soldiers outfitted in full gear, 4 surrounded the car corners, 2 circled and inspected the vehicle, one stood in front 20 ft directly in front. The 8th soldier asked for my papers and citizen ship and purpose for my trip to Canada.
I watched the soldiers open the trunk of the car ahead of me, open the rear doors and clear the vehicle. What was striking was the illumination of light were the cars were being inspected, and the 3 support soldiers standing in the shadow of the lights standing in a ready-aggression posture.
I passed through completely unfazed, afterwards I was reflecting how I was not surprised that we reached this point. TSA agents at the airport frisking you is one thing, facing armed soldiers to pass the most peaceful border in the world is new level of reality.
I am only curious if this was an isolated event or the beginning of new-normal.
Cheers – E
George Soros – The Man Trying to Create A Socialist Revolution?

Re-Posted Nov 15, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
George Soros is a Hungarian born August 12, 1930 who became an American. I believe he has done everything possible to further of Marxist takeover of the United States and his support of the Orange Revolution in Ukraine should not be confused with any sort of actual freedom. Ukraine has merely replace one group of corrupt officials with another. I personally believe that Soros is a very dangerous man who tries to fund revolutions that cost people’s lives. I believe Soros is behind the civil unrest in the United States and the Clintons are aligned with him because Hillary is notoriously vindictive if you read any of the reports from former staff who worked in the White House. This is not a political movement, it is one that appears to inspire violence. We should pay close attention to the shenanigans of Soros and Hillary. We know her character. The only type of people who would be friends with someone that vindictive must ascribe to the same character flaws.

Trump Tackles Student Loans
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Nov 14, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
Trump has proposed capping student debt at 12.5% of their income and a debt forgiveness at 15 years. Yes this will cost something, but it is the only way to unwind the unfair practices of the Clintons, who made student loans non-dischargable in bankruptcy. But then the shifty bankers had often parents cosign the student loans so in effect they became collateralized and non-dischargable.
Trump’s plan is a major step in solving this problem. But to bring down the cost of education we must eliminate the free money and make schools competitive for the first time.
Army Special Forces soldiers killed in Jordan were working for the CIA

The three Army Special Forces soldiers killed at a Jordanian military base this month were working for a CIA program to train moderate Syrian fighters when they were shot at a checkpoint under still-unclear circumstances, U.S. officials said.
The Nov. 4 slayings of the three soldiers is believed to be the deadliest single incident involving a CIA team since December 2009, when seven officers and contractors were killed in a suicide bombing in Khost, Afghanistan.
The Fort Campbell, Ky.-based soldiers — all members of the 5th Special Forces Group — were killed by a Jordanian soldier at an entry control point to Prince Faisal Air Base near Jafr, in the southern desert about 150 miles south of the capital, Amman, according to the officials. The shooter also was wounded in what was described by U.S. and Middle Eastern sources as an exchange of gunfire.
The soldiers, identified as Staff Sgt. Matthew Lewellen, Staff Sgt. Kevin McEnroe and Staff Sgt. James Moriarty, were among roughly 2,000 U.S. troops working in Jordan while participating in the U.S.-led campaign fighting the Islamic State. Some of the troops have been assigned to mobile artillery units along the Jordanian border while others assist CIA-led training programs for Syrian opposition fighters.
The CIA declined to comment on the shooting incident or on the soldiers’ possible role in agency programs.

Germany & THE 800 POUND GORILLA

Re-Posted Aug 14, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
This week, a German cooperative savings bank in the Bavarian village of Gmund am Tegernsee with less than 10,000 in population, announced it will begin charging retail customers to hold their cash starting in September. This will apply to accounts greater than €100,000 euros. This means the bank will charge customers 0.4 percent, which amounts to a direct pass-through of the current level of the ECB’s negative deposit rate. After speaking directly with banking sources, what is happening is that cash is flooding into German banks from around Europe just to park avoiding the negative deposit rate. Now, the banks are starting to pass the negative rates back to the clients. However, much of this flow of capital has also been money fleeing other banks outside of Germany for fear that the euro will break and they will get Deutschemarks.
However, THE 800 POUND GORILLA in the corner of the room is Deutsche Bank itself. Rumor has it that its derivative book is 5 times the GDP of Germany. The real issue here is what happens when Deutsche Bank needs more than a banana? This is the largest bank in Germany and thus the most important bank for all of Europe even if you do not bank there. Can Germany really allow the BAIL-IN process to take place? Politically, this would be total disaster economically, politically, and for the stability of the EU itself. The theory which destroyed Cyrus and has wreaked havoc in Greece, if applied to the largest economy of Europe, will destroy all confidence in Brussels.
Does the fate of Europe hinge on the fate of Deutsche Bank? If the Germans blink, what are the ramifications that will reverberate throughout Europe? These are issues we will discuss at the upcoming WEC Institutional Session.
