The Plot Behind the Curtain


Armstrong Economics Blog/Geopolitical Re-Posted Mar 22, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I have a serious question for you. Do you think that Putin was lured into this mess by people trying to change the world? I will leave it at that.

GB

ANSWER: Yes. I cannot believe that Harris’ off-the-cuff statement at the Munich Security Meeting that Ukraine should join NATO was simply a stupid mistake on her part. She is not the brightest bulb in DC, but I believe IF this was a mistake, the White House would have instantly recharacterized what she said to make sure Putin would not take it that they were advocating violating the Belgrade Agreement where Ukraine was to remains neutral. Based on why I know, Harris is not even familiar with maps. I believe she was “handled” and told to advocate that by someone there who intentionally wanted to start this conflict. Both Harris and Biden will simply say what they are told and I fear the Neocons have taken over the White House.

There is no NATIONAL SECURITY interest for the United States in Ukraine. Everyone just chooses sides, but nobody asks the question why should the entire world go to war, which will turn nuclear, over Ukraine as they did over the Balkans in WWI? The US is not even strategically threatened if Putin took all of Ukraine.

Americans are foolish and think this is some video game and they can watch the US beat Putin like this is Monday night football. This time there are nuclear weapons and a Russian Stealth Sub can surface just miles offshow and launch against 160 targets in a matter of minutes. EVERY Administration has always sought peace UNTIL now! So go ahead and cheer for the destruction of Putin. Just be very careful for what you with for. War simulations with China have also warned that American can lose and very fast.

Biden keeps claiming that Russia is losing. He said the launch of its hypersonic missile in Ukraine over the weekend was a sign of desperation rather than testing the weapon real time. He then threatened China that if they supported Putin, they would suffer the same sanctions. Biden then says that Putin’s may launch cyberattacks against the US and use chemical weapons in Ukraine next because his “back is against the wall.”

If this is true, why not try to clam things down when we know Putin does not believe in retreat? We have only cheerleaders for war – no peacemakers. All of this because Ukraine refused to let the Donbas be independent in a democratic process and vote? You do not push Putin against the wall and then claim he is a madman. If Putin was really a madman, he would nuke Ukraine and then what? There is an intended agenda here and it smells like intentional war. Must we all die because Neocons simply hate Russians and Chinese?

It remains questionable why Putin is holding back. He has the power station and could turn off the power, but he has not. Reports keep saying the Russians are stalled about 15 miles from Kyiv. Poland has put its forces on alert as Russian and Belarusian forces are likely to deploy on the Polish-Ukrainian border to close all cargo routes to Kyiv. That is the typical siege strategy which tends to imply he wants a surrender rather than to flatten Kyiv.

Putin, I believe, was lured into his invasion knowing his chief complaint has been the constant eastward movement of NATO. That does not make him a victim. There are no good guys. Both sides fight for their own self-interest precisely as in economics – i.e. Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand. What he did not expect was this onslaught of attacks against all Russians and the sanctions that have effectively cut off Russia from the West. This is intended to put so much pressure on Russia that they storm the Kremlin and behead him or some drastic event of that nature. But now, the hatred is against all Russians as a race. This is the dream of Ukrainian Nazis.

Lindsey Graham has gone way too far even for a Neocon calling for the assassination of Putin. He better start watching his own ass in my opinion for as they say what goes around comes around. Putin would be justifies in trying to do the same to Biden if he was really the brains behind this mess. I’m sure there are Russians in the USA undercover who could carry out such an order.

Worse still, if you were China and you just watched what the West has done to Russia, you would be wise never to trust doing business with the West again. You certainly would count your fingers after shaking hands knowing that they could quickly do the same to you. This is certainly why China is moving rapidly to get its own alternative to SWIFT and Saudi Arabia has just agreed to join selling oil to them in Yuan.

Then for the Ukrainian Intelligence to put out a story claiming there is a Russian group of Russian elites were allegedly conspiring to overthrow Putin and “restore economic ties” with the West. They are posting this on Facebook post from the Chief Directorate of Intelligence for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Obviously, this is pure propaganda for if this were true, they would not warn Putin. Instead, they are putting out disinformation hoping someone will believe it and think they will be a hero. They are even putting out the name Alexander Bortnikov, the Russian Director of the Federal Security Service, will become his successor to the president. It is highly unlikely that they would prefer Bortnikov.

Back in a December 2017, an open letter published by Kommersant, where more than 30 Russian academics criticized Bortnikov for attempting to legitimize the Stalin’s Great Purge. He would be far more aggressive than Putin. So it seems to be disinformation in hopes that Putin would believe it and eliminate Bortnikov clearing the way for their true desired target to head Russia.

Ah! The Games people play!

Think Twice if not three times before you just CHEER for the defeat of Russia.

There is no retreat in Putin’s mind and doing away with him will only confirm to all Russians that the West is not to be TRUSTED.

Is this the future you really want for your children and grandchildren?

The Coming Dust Bowl – 2025-2027?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Agriculture Re-Posted Mar 22, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty; You have been the first to warn of food shortages and to stockpile for the years ahead. With Russia and Ukraine accounting for 30% of global wheat, you have warned that we are looking a shortages into 2032. Does this mean the war will last for 10 years?

LC

ANSWER: No, the forecasts for shortages into 2024 are actually divided into two primary causes. There was a major crisis in crop failures in 1846-1847, which also provided the economic reasons for the 1848 Communist Revolutions throughout Europe when agriculture was 70% of the economy back then. This was followed by the next great drought which became known as the “Dust Bowl” during the years of 1935-1936. Note, this had nothing to do with CO2 and the Industrial Revolution. While the Dust Bowl was a 10 year struggle for farmers, it certainly varied from city to city. Generally 1935 to 1936 was the worse of it and by 1937 the trend began to reverse.

Our model warns that we may see another severe drought probably between 2025 to 2027 in both the US and Canada. The drought conditions are already beginning and this is in line with our model which warns it will expand into the 2025-2027 period.

Therefore, to answer your question more directly, it appears that we have a shortage first instigated by the outrageous stupidity of COVID management, and this is the accelerated by the War Cycles, and it will conclude with the weather cycle which will only add to the shortages post-2024.

Moscow Warns Biden Has Crossed the Line Where No Former President Has Ever Gone


Armstrong Economics Blog/Neocons Re-Posted Mar 22, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

There is little question that what the US is doing is not defending Ukraine, they are deliberately attempting to force the Russian people to overthrow Putin. Now Russia’s foreign ministry summoned U.S. Ambassador John Sullivan to inform him that President Joe Biden’s remarks with respect to the Russian President Vladimir Putin have gone too far. He was warned that Biden is pushing bilateral ties to the brink of collapse. This is going BEYOND the cold war – this is escalating to the point where ties are just severed.

Biden said last week that Putin was a “war criminal” for sending tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine. The Russian foreign ministry has made it very clear: “Such statements from the American president, unworthy of a statesman of such high rank, put Russian-American relations on the verge of rupture.” Biden is clearly engaging in the typical Neocon rhetoric of DEMONIZING your opponent. The Kremlin has described the comments as “personal insults” against Putin.

One must wonder if Biden even understands what he is doing, or is he just reading the teleprompter. NEVER before in the entire history of US/Russian relations has any former President been hurling personal attacks to DEMONIZE a Russian leader. It appears that the Neocons have seized the White House and formed some sort of partnership with the climate change zealots. It certainly appears that there is an intentional desire to create war and this is out in the open. One must wonder that it was sanction that led to Japan attacking Pearl Harbor and will this escalate into a Declaration of War between the US & Russia et al sooner rather than later?

Mike Lindell Drops 88-Page Forensic Report Showing Conclusive Evidence of Manipulated Voter Files From Mesa, Colorado


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 22, 2022 | Sundance

For several months, Mike Lindell has been championing a forensic review of voter files from Mesa County, Colorado.  In a series of forensic reports looking into Colorado’s use of Dominion vote tabulators, a data forensic team led by cyber-security expert Doug Gould have been reviewing electronic files from the 2020 election. {Direct Rumble Link}

According to Mike Lindell, Doug Gould and the team of forensic analysts who just completed the work, have conclusive evidence that files were manipulated and deleted during a May 2021, software update driven by the system vendor, Dominion.  Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters made a copy of the election files before and after the Dominion vendor installed software.  A forensic review of those files shows a difference in the actual voting tabulation.

The Files and PDF of the raw material are AVAILABLE HERE.

Mike Lindell notes he is filing injunctions immediately against seven states to stop them from using these electronic systems in the 2022 election, and later more injunctions will be filed in other states.  The evidence to support those injunctions is included in the 88-page report.

I hope Lindell is successful, because part of the motivation for Joe Biden to continue extending the national state of emergency over COVID, appears to be the ongoing effort to use expanded mail-in ballots in the 2022 election.

Comrades, Spring Has Arrived


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 21, 2022 | Sundance 

Rejoice, with the first day of spring upon us, you have officially survived the “winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.”

It was touch and go for a few moments, but the random sniffles, sneezes, coughs, stuffy heads and fevers did not deter you from living.

Congratulations fellow rebels, you are champions.

A Technical Study in the Relationships of Solar Flux, Water, Carbon Dioxide in the upper Atmosphere, Using the latest February, 2022 NASA & NOAA Data


From the attached report on climate change for February 2022 Data we have the two charts showing how much the global temperature has actually gone up since we started to measure CO2 in the atmosphere in 1958? To show this graphically Chart 8a was constructed by plotting CO2 as a percent increase from when it was first measured in 1958, the Black plot, the scale is on the left and it shows CO2 going up by about 32.0% from 1958 to February of 2022. That is a very large change as anyone would have to agree.  Now how about temperature, well when we look at the percentage change in temperature also from 1958, using Kelvin (which does measure the change in heat), we find that the changes in global temperature (heat) is almost un-measurable at only .4%. As you see the increase in energy, heat, is not visually observably in this chart hence the need for another Chart 8 to show the minuscule increase in thermal energy shown by NASA in relationship to the change in CO2 Shown in the next Chart using a different scale.

This is Chart 8 which is the same as Chart 8a except for the scales. The scale on the right side had to be expanded 10 times (the range is 50 % on the left and 5% on the right) to be able to see the plot in the same chart in any detail. The red plot, starting in 1958, shows that the thermal energy in the earth’s atmosphere increased by .40%; while CO2 has increased by 32.0% which is 80 times that of the increase in temperature. So is there really a meaningful link between them that would give as a major problem?

Based to these trends, determined by excel not me, in 2028 CO2 will be 428 ppm and temperatures will be a bit over 15.0o Celsius and in 2038 CO2 will be 458 ppm and temperatures will be 15.6O Celsius.

The numbers tell us the story of the planets Atmosphere

Highest Gasoline Prices in History Hit All 50 States, National Avg Increased 20 Cents in Just Four Days


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 10, 2022 | Sundance

The nationwide average for regular gas is now $4.32 a gallon, according to AAA. Just yesterday it was $4.25. In just a few days gasoline has eclipsed the highest price ever recorded by 20¢.  The previous record was $4.11 in July 2008.  Unfortunately, there is no end in sight.  Anecdotally, my neighborhood gas station went up 75¢/gal in just three days and is now $4.95.

Nationally, Diesel prices are also at record highs, with the average cost at $5.06 a gallon, up almost twenty cents overnight from Wednesday to Thursday.  This will increase transportation costs for all goods being delivered.   The speed of the current rate of increase is very troublesome.

(Current gas price in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA)

USA today has an estimate of gasoline prices by state – SEE HERE

Canadian Parliament Protest Schwab, Trudeau, & WEF


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Feb 20, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The Canadian Parliament shuts down probably the most important question concerning treason against the Canadian people. Stating that Schwab has bragged about infiltrating the Canadian government and naming those involved with Schwab after he has openly bragged about this accomplishment, Parliament shut down the question to make sure nobody would answer.

Then the notorious corrupt Liberal MP had the open audacity to claim this is misinformation when it is openly published even at Harvard University, one must wonder what are his connections and how much has he received in gifts, political donations, and favored status from bankers to block any such questions.

These people have betrayed their own country. Schwab’s agenda to eliminate even paper currency was to take place by 2024. But COVID is backfiring which has resulted in bringing this forward to 2023 just after the US elections.

This is the image of Canada merging from the outside. Even Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has come out in support of the Truckers.

Schwab was not kidding and it was not the misinformation. The Emergency Act will become permanent in Canada. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland intends to make permanent the invasive financial surveillance system introduced as part of the “Emergencies Act” to absolutely destroy and crush the civil liberties protests and to be able to defund all opposition. Freeland is also a Young Global Leader graduate who is also loyal to Schwab. They have been indoctrinated with an authoritarian view of powers and Canada is to have its sovereignty surrendered to Schwab’s global vision. She declared:

“As of today, all crowdfunding platforms, and the payment service providers they use, must register with FINTRAC and must report large and suspicious transactions to FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada).” Freeland added: “This will help mitigate the risk that these platforms receive illicit funds; increase the quality and quantity of intelligence received by FINTRAC; and make more information available to support investigations by law enforcement into these illegal blockades.”

“This is about following the money. This is about stopping the financing of these illegal blockades. We are today serving notice, if your truck is being used in these illegal blockades your corporate accounts will be frozen.”

Trudeau has called in the police and they are to attack the protesters with brutal force. Leaks of communications have shown that the RCMP currently in Ottawa is to assist in the crackdown on peaceful protesters allegedly brag about using brutal force in a leaked group chat according to Rebel News. He has also called in police from Quebec who will defend him against the English-speaking truckers. This was Schwab’s and Canada’s Tiananmen Square. Canada may now have only until the 1st week of April.

This is a battle to the death for Schwab’s Great Reset. Canada MUST be driven into submission and this is critical to the ideas of Schwab and his vision for the world.

Schwab has promised these politicians dictatorial powers with the end of all democratic processes. Schwab is pushing the design of Europe upon the rest of the world whereby the head of state NEVER stands for election, neither does the European Commission which makes all laws and to fool the people that they are still relevant, they get to vote for an MP who has no power to make or overrule laws crafted by the Commission. This is the system they intend to impose of the world and politicians will NEVER again need to worry about being voted out of office. This is why governments are now protecting Schwab. He has promised them a world void of any power of the people to vote them out of power. What Schwab has not considered is that he is boxing in people to the point the only solution will be a revolution.
