The German Bunds & War


Postedoriginally on Mar 6, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

German Bund Y 3 3 25

Geopolitics surrounding Ukraine and NATO’s push for war are set to disrupt the fiscal consolidation efforts in Europe. At the same time, growth challenges call for much more significant investment than existing fiscal rules prescribe. That is a time bomb under the entire European project. Key risks are defense and concerns over competition. These will derail efforts to cut deficits and lift borrowing costs because the Neocons never care about the people or the economy. They have exploited the United States for decades, creating endless wars. The yield on the 10-year German Bund would most likely rise to test the 5%  level by 2027 without outright war, but with war, the minimum target becomes 8%.

Our Monthly Timing Arrays from the Computer show a DOUBLE DIRECTIONAL CHANGE this month with rising volatility. The risk of Zelensky’s arrogance as he takes orders from the Neocons toward war remains very high. Sources are already saying that climate change has destroyed Europe’s car industry. The are planning to revamp the car plants into weapons. They are considering that Italy’s struggling car industry will convert to weapons manufacture with subcontractors across Lombardy and the Veneto. They will then supply the German armaments plants where Volkswagen, in particular, will produce weapons.

Macron send Nukes to Germany

This is becoming painfully obvious that the EU has devasted the European economy  (1) with COVID lockdowns, (2) climate change, and (3) sanctions on Russia. They see war as a boom to their economies to offset job losses in the car industry that they have unleashed with their stupidity. Even the premier of Bavaria, Markus Soder, is calling for a full-scale revival of German military power along with a joint nuclear deterrent in concert with France and the UK. It is widely known that it was not the New Deal that ended the Great Depression but the war. The Europeans wanted the US to keep paying the bills, but if Trump did not, they realized they were going to have to shift policies. From what I am hearing, that is already underway.

BlackRock to Acquire Panama Canal

BlackRock

BlackRock, the largest fund management firm in the world, has plans to acquire to key ports at each end of the Panama Canal in addition to 43 ports in 23 countries. Trump touted this proposal as a win for America as BlackRock is an American company. However, BlackRock is a know World Economic Forum partner whose interest do not primarily align with the people of America.

The $22.8 billion deal involves a 90% purchase of Panama Ports Company, the company that owns and operates the ports of Cristobal and Balboa in Panama. BlackRock has been involved in massive deals but this is the company’s largest infrastructure deal to date.

The move by BlackRock to purchase the Panama Canal is yet another step in the consolidation of global power into the hands of unelected financial elites. This is not about capitalism; this is about neofeudalism, where multinational corporations wield control over vital infrastructure, bypassing sovereign governments and democratic accountability.

The Panama Canal is a critical geopolitical asset. If BlackRock takes control, it would essentially mean that a private financial entity, rather than the US government itself, would control one of the world’s most important trade routes. A Us company acquiring the canal does align with US interests as BlackRock often operates as an unofficial arm of the Fed and US government.

However, BlackRock is closely aligned with the World Economic Forum whose goal is globalization. BlackRock’s massive influence over the financial markets could assist the globalists in centralizing financial control. What happens if the company’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies, although recently downplayed, spill over into the world’s busiest trade route? BlackRock will have tremendous power over world trade.

Is America truly “reclaiming” the Panama Canal? BlackRock may be an American company but it does not operate in a position favorable to the people of America. This deal will provide one company with massive influence over world trade—perhaps too much power that could be used to weaponize capital flows. Oversight is unclear at this time. This is far less of a win than the current administration perceives.

DOGE to Slash IRS by Half

IRS building

The Internal Revenue Service is slated to shed half of its 90,000 agents. Recall that former President Joe Biden wanted to double the number of tax hunters by adding over 87,000 agents through a piece of legislation slipped into the Inflation Reduction Act. The Biden Administration weaponized the IRS against the American people and had even begun to train groups of agents on basic military warfare in the event of raids. This could be a major win for American citizens.

Those complaining about DOGE fail to realize that we permit the government to audit us annually. For once we are turning the tables and auditing the very agencies who hold the people to such high standards. Trump has already placed a hiring freeze for the agency and laid off 7,000 probationary workers. The workers who may lose their jobs will be offered a buyout package, no different from what past administrations have offered when trimming the public sector. Agents will not have the opportunity to accept a buyout until May after the upcoming tax filing deadline.

Other agents have an opportunity to work for the Department of Homeland Security to aid in immigration enforcement, as DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has already asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to “borrow” agents to assist with the border crisis.

IRS More Audits

The misconception that IRS would only target the wealthy needs to be dispelled as a study revealed that 63% of new audits targeted Americans earning under $200,000. Trump is not looking out for his billionaire friends here, as many liberal commentators have speculating. He is protecting the average American from legal government extortion.

The highest earners know how to avoid taxes. Trump famously told Hillary during a debate prior to the 2016 US Presidential Election that he obviously used the loopholes in the tax system, as do all financially savvy businessmen. “Her donors took massive tax write offs… and other things that Hillary as a Senator allowed,” Trump stated during the debate. “So do Warren Buffett, so does George Soros, and so do other people Hillary is supported by,” he added.

Tax returns are merely an interest-free government loan from the working class to the US government. They are deprived of the opportunity to invest that money throughout the year or use it for other expenses. Small businesses are dissected and squeezed for every penny. The most complicated part about the filing process is that no one knows exactly how much they are to pay. Pay too much or too little and you’re in big trouble.

The entire hunt for taxation has been a war on the middle class, who is unable to file massive write-offs and cannot afford to continue paying Uncle Sam on every incoming and outgoing transaction, plus savings, income, and everything else from birth to death.

Bipartisan Diplomacy is Dead

A terminally ill child with brain cancer was awarded an honorary Secret Service award. I thought I’d post the video to explain the sheer hatred half of the nation has for Donald Trump and all of his supporters.

The Democrats refused to stand during any portion of Trump’s State of the Union address. They would not applaud Laken Riley, the nursing student murdered by an illegal alien. They refused to honor former volleyball player Payton McNabb who received a traumatic brain injury when battling a transgender athlete in 2022.

“Last night, just overall, the Democrat Party was so disrespectful,” McNabb said. “And they didn’t stand up for any of the guests, they didn’t stand up for DJ Daniel, who is the young boy who survived brain cancer, they didn’t stand up for Laken Riley’s family, whose daughter literally suffered a traumatic death that should have never happened, and every other guest that was there had some sort of powerful story, and they didn’t clap for any of that. “So it was heartbreaking, and honestly I wish I could say I was surprised, but I’m not.”

Rep. Al Green, D-Texas was escorted out of the room within the first few minutes after shouting at the president. Bipartisan diplomacy is dead. The Democratic Party showed solidarity over one issue—their hatred of Donald Trump AND the conservative majority. The people VOTED for Donald J. Trump and yet half of our representatives refuse to represent the people. The Dems stood in the stands with signs as if they were at a college rally. It was a completely embarrassing, unprofessional, new low for the Democrats who will struggle to maintain their seats at the upcoming election.

Yet, there is something particularly sinister about refusing to support a dying child. Some Democrats claim that Trump was using the child as a political prop. All the Democrats applauded manically when Ukraine was mentioned. Does this now show you where this party’s interests lie?

Congratulations to 13-year-old DJ Daniel for his appointment to the Secret Service.

COMMENT #1: Martin:
The PPC is not the only smaller party resisting the establishment. Canada’s only pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom federal party is the Christian Heritage Party. The PPC’s policies are very similar on many fronts (eg freedom, personal responsibility). The big economic policy of the CHP is scrapping federal income and business tax and replacing it with a National Sales Tax (aka FAIRtax) after reducing government’s size and reach, reducing the federal debt, and balancing the federal budget.

Bernier tries to pretend the CHP doesn’t exist. The CHP has been around since 1986.

I love your newsletter and the information it brings to light.

DD

COMMENT #2: Martin, thank you for the opportunity to pose a question to Maxime.

Maxime, with respect you are polling significantly behind the mainstream parties in Canada, what is your plan to get your message to resonate with Canadians when so many of them lean left? Would you ever consider joining forces with Pierre Poilievre where you’d have a better chance in moving some of your ideas forward?

My Friday Interview with Maxime Bernier

COMMENT: Hi Martin,

I read everything you write and deeply appreciate your work.

Your insights are invaluable, and I’m truly grateful for everything you do.

Regarding your upcoming interview with Maxime Bernier, I wanted to share a suggestion.

Max (who referred to himself as “Mad Max” during his Freedom Convoy speeches) was one of the few political figures who had a profound impact on my understanding of freedom at the time.

He was among the only voices willing to speak out when it was truly dangerous to do so – both before and during the Freedom Convoy.

During that crucial moment, three figures stood firmly in defense of freedom:

  • Maxime Bernier
  • Randy Hillier
  • Brian Peckford (the last living signatory of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms)

Just a note: Pierre Poilievre remained silent during that critical time and only started speaking when the political tide had already shifted.

As someone who was at the Freedom Convoy from Day 0, I can confirm that this is how it felt and this is what people were discussing there.

I’m sure your Canadian supporters will send in many great questions, but I wanted to suggest this perspective: If you want to take this interview to a deeper and more multidimensional level, consider including all three of these voices.

Each is an exceptional public speaker, and together, they can provide a broader understanding of Canada’s present situation and its future trajectory.

Thanks again for everything you do.

Best regards,

GG

REPLY: Thank you. That is one reason I wanted to interview him for our huge Canadian Audience

Canada – On Friday I will Interview thier Trump – Maxime Bernier


Posted originally on Mar 5, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Maxime Bernier

Maxime is the leader of the People’s Party of Canada. The Canadian Press tries to ignore him and the party because, like everywhere else, those in power are trying to suppress any alternative to their establishment. Maxime stands for individual FREEDOM and personal RESPONSIBILITY. The interview will be posted on Friday.

I get many Canadians suggesting that they dump the British system and establish a Constitution like the United States because the governor general still represents the king rather than the people. Many are disenhante3d with King Charles because he is a globalist. That is not part of the PPC platform. Your comments are welcome.

I am giving our Canadian readers a chance to send in any questions to ArmstrongEconomics@Gmail.com

President Trump Has Exposed the U.S Side of the Proxy War by Disabling Ukraine Access to U.S. Missile and Drone Targeting Systems


Posted originally on CTH on March 6, 2025 | Sundance

The media have not, and in most cases cannot, factually discuss what President Trump has just done without opening up a major can-of-worms about the motives behind the Ukraine war.

When President Trump stopped “intelligence sharing” with Ukraine, what he technically did was stop allowing Ukraine to use exclusive USA targeting systems controlled by U.S Intelligence, the CIA, the National Reconnaissance Office and the U.S. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.

These terrain mapping systems, the missile and drone targeting systems, are what military forces inside Ukraine need to carry out offensive drone and missile attacks against Russian forces.

Some elements in Western Intel are leaking to media that Trump only cut-off the targeting system that would permit Ukraine to hit deep into Russian territory, including in Russia proper.  However, the ‘Russian territory‘ as seemingly defined by the National Security Council includes most of Eastern Ukraine now.

In essence and material reality, the elements in Ukraine who are conducting war, and this includes U.K and U.S special forces, the CIA and various NATO allied military operators (not Ukraine military) can no longer effectively hit long-range Russian targets, without the U.S. targeting system that identifies it.

The real-time sharing of military grade GPS encryption keys has been stopped by the U.S. Commander in Chief, President Trump.  Effective immediately without targeting system access, ATACMS, HIMARS, Storm Shadow and Taurus missile systems are no longer functional to those Ukraine operators (remember, those operators are not necessarily Ukranian).

Additionally, the drones that Ukraine has been using also rely on the same accurate, real-time, terrain-mapping satellite data that transmits back to the guidance systems. Without the U.S. encryption keys, what the media is obtusely calling “intelligence sharing,” all of the aforementioned attack systems are rendered moot.  THIS IS HUGE.

The part that is really interesting to those who have followed the events of the past three years, is literally who has been in control of and deploying these missile and drone attack systems.

All of the intellectually honest researchers know that it is the USA (special forces) and to a lesser extent the collaborating U.K (special forces) who have been operating these systems.  Yes, they have been training Ukranians, but they damned sure are not giving them the highly classified and tightly controlled encryption keys within the targeting system.

In reality, this means the USA/UK are the forces doing the actual fighting of consequence against Russia in the geography of Ukraine.  A true and genuine proxy war between NATO and Russia has factually been ongoing.  This stoppage of the missile/drone targeting system by President Trump is factually exposing this proxy war reality.

In the background of what President Trump is doing the NATO alliance, CIA and EU global intelligence operators well understand the ramifications.  However, to discuss them openly is to expose the reality that US/UK/NATO have been controlling the war in Ukraine against Russia.  Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is an irrelevant puppet to these military decisions, that’s why he can travel around doing his insufferable nonsense while a war is waged on his behalf.

Now, think about this dynamic very carefully because now we know President Trump and President Putin are talking to each other.

We know Vladimir Putin is well aware of how the Western targeting system is being used in Ukraine; he has talked about it openly and publicly.  However, the West has never admitted it, because to do so would be to inform the public of the proxy war.

After the Biden/Harris team lost the election, on December 21st, 2024, drone attacks were launched from Ukraine into Kazan Russia {GO Deep}.  Those attacks were intended to antagonize Russia and provoke a response.

With the new information we now have confirmation that these drone and missile strikes into Russia were factually attacks supported by U.S. targeting systems.  The non-pretending reality = The USA attacked Russia using Ukraine.

All of this activity is clouded in this crazy level of pretending that Ukraine is able to defend itself with a little Western support.  That has always been nonsense.  NATO, the CIA and the global IC has been in control of the war fighting from the outset.  Again, all the new information aligns with this now demonstrably accurate reality.

It was the USA who launched the December drone attacks into Kazan, Russia, using the geography of Ukraine as the launch origination.  Additionally, it was the USA who recently (Feb 18th) launched drone/missile attacks against Western interests while Secretary Rubio was meeting with Russian emissaries in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.

Drones from Ukraine attacked a pumping station responsible for transporting oil through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC).  This is not exclusively a Russian oil infrastructure asset.  This is partly a western asset belonging to American energy corporations.  As noted by Medvedev: “In 2024, American businesses accounted for over 40% of CPC oil shipments, and together with other Western companies, their total share exceeded 65%.”

Now, think carefully about what the Western control elements behind the Ukraine military operations are doing.  “They” are, essentially, using U.S. provided military weapons, to target energy infrastructure -ancillary to Russia- that is owned by American corporations.  Who are “they”?

Again, step back and look at the larger geopolitical dynamic.

President Trump, and by extension his team, knows the USA has been carrying out the drone/missile attacks from inside Ukraine.  President Vladimir Putin, and by extension his team, knows the same.

President Trump is in direct conversation with President Vladimir Putin.  Does this put the context of their conversations into a different light?

Everyone behind President Trump has to retain pretenses, or there’s going to be a big shit-hitting-fan moment, when a frustrated Trump spills the beans about the USA level of control in the Ukraine v Russia operation.

Knowing the USA/UK/NATO/CIA and Western Intel are conducting the offensive military operations you can only imagine how those “proxy war” control agents are freaked out about Trump and Putin talking to each other.

♦ From the Russian Perspective – In the mind of Putin he now sees President Trump stopping NATO/EU/CIA/UK forces from being able to reach Russia with any attack system.

They don’t need to discuss it, and likely would not, but Putin’s people clearly can see that Trump’s people have stopped the West from their ability to hit Russia with anything.

An unspoken trust is being established through actions, not words. That’s a radical shift, and pretty cool all things considered.

Bad actors within the government Donald Trump now represents have attacked Russia.  Donald Trump wants it all to stop. Zelenskyy is the front face of the pretense that Donald Trump has to navigate.  The UK/NATO/CIA are still propping Zelenskyy up.

♦ WATCH FOR THIS – The U.S. is still sharing the targeting information with the U.K. However, if the NATO/EU/UK/CIA use the targeting system it will be very obvious; attacks against ‘Russian territory’ be visible. That’s all the proof needed.

If any long-range missile/drone operations continue, then someone is violating the Trump order. There is no other way to look at it.

At that point, something rather radical is likely to be announced by President Trump that shreds every facet of the U.S. relationship with NATO, the UK and even the Five-Eyes consortium.

Geopolitically, every player mentioned is well aware of this dynamic. Hence, the apoplexy we are witnessing.

This is a very interesting dynamic to watch closely.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz Confirms That any EU/NATO Peacekeeping Troops in Ukraine Will NOT Have Article 5 Protection by USA Military


Posted originally on CTH on March 5, 2025 | Sundance

We continue to look suspiciously at National Security Advisor Mike Waltz because the emphasis on a U.S-Ukraine “minerals deal” comes directly from his strategic planning.  Waltz appears to be trying to get Trump enmeshed in the Ukraine conflict through economic ties which can be used to manipulate the U.S position.

However, that said, President Trump has clearly told his Nat Sec Advisor that he will not be coerced into sending U.S. military troops into Ukraine to support a peacekeeping mission. Nor will President Trump look upon his demand that EU/NATO members put their boots-on-the ground in Ukraine as any extended NATO Article-5 responsibility.

Mike Waltz spoke directly to the issue of European NATO troops being deployed as peacekeepers into Ukraine, and the possibility of those troops being attacked, thereby triggering Article-5 deployment of U.S. military to defend them.

NSA Waltz correctly confirms that Ukraine is not a NATO member, therefore any attack (which could include an IC false flag) within Ukraine is not considered an attack against a NATO country by the Trump administration.  WATCH (prompted):

.

This puts a little context to the strategic position of President Trump against the backdrop of all the geopolitical navigation that comes with the USA having conducted a proxy war against Russia using the geography of Ukraine.

Additionally, last night Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the first Trump administration official who specifically said that the past three years have been a proxy war between the USA and Russia, Video Below:
