Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her home district seems to have only a 31% approval rating. Her outright disapproval rating is 44% among Democrats (77% among Republicans) according to Siena College poll. It will be very interesting to see her status in the 2020 elections. she may end up as a one-time wonder.
Antifa Leftists Riot in London Following Massive Election Loss…
December 13, 2019
Following a major election victory for conservatives in the U.K. the Antifa-left start rioting in the streets again. Proving once more that socialists do not accept election outcomes.
The vitriolic response from the British socialists resembles an almost identical response following the 2016 election victory of President Trump. Same groups, same political ideology, same behavior, same violence, rage and expressed anger.
The inability of the progressive left to accept the outcome of an election is identical in both the U.K and the U.S. Calling Boris Johnson a racist and attempting to delegitimize the election outcome has a ring of familiarity for Americans.
The decades of their united globalist efforts to tear at the very fabric of nationalism is being eliminated. The radical socialists have nothing to lose; the media is sympathetic to their objectives; their desperate need for a collectivist society is visible within their apoplexy. They are afraid of the individual accountability that comes with freedom, and they’re damn sure displaying it.
Do not look away.

Antifa are rioting in London in response to the election results giving Conservatives a huge electoral win. It’s like what I saw in Portland in November 2016.
How Cold Will It Go, A Timeline (R Wayne Steiger FULL)
In the video they stray from “Climate” and that part I do not go alone with. However, that coming cool period is very real and well documented in science. The only issue is how cold will it get. Sadly because of the “The planet is going to melt” hype we can can’t discus nor prepare for the coming cold period. So watch the video and prepare accordingly.

Media Conspiracy that the Washington Post & NY Times Declined to Join
Armstrong Economics-Blog/Press
Re-Posted Dec 13, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
What is fascinating is the revelation that mainstream media has indeed conspired with the group led by Greenpeace to sell climate change. This includes the top names like CBS, Bloomberg, BuzzFeed, HuffPost, The Daily Beast, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Slate, Vanity Fair, and even the Weather Channel. However, both the left-leaning Washington Post and New York Times actually declined to participate in a project. They apparently were afraid that the conspiracy to sell climate change was really an activist movement in nature.
The depths of this media climate change conspiracy was itself hidden by the mainstream media, for they never reported that they had joined an effort linked with Greenpeace to their readers. They were reporting climate change and disregarded anything to the contrary. On top of that, they did not disclose the grand coalition to engage in fake news and an activist conspiracy.
The general polls now in Germany show that about one-third of the people no longer trust the mainstream media. This is part of the decline and fall of civilization. The press has taken the idea that the press must be free and flipped it upside down to justify their own conspiracy to push their personal agenda.
The days of honest journalism are long gone, along with honest politicians.
The British Election – Socialists Lose Big Time
Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN
Re-Posted Dec 13, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
Conservatives are now in full control of Parliament, and Britain took one major step closer to leaving the European Union. The socialist Jeremy Corbyn said he would not lead the Labour Party in another election. All the hype about socialism and how they have been so vocal has resulted in what our computer has been projecting – not this time. There has been a shift extremely left in many elections including those in the United States. But for all the noise, yelling, and screaming, socialism is dying.
The British election was called because the opponents of BREXIT did everything in their power to obstruct the democratic result of the referendum to leave the EU. They had the audacity to claim the people were too stupid and did not understand what they were voting for because the politicians have continued to want to surrender British sovereignty to Brussels while for some they would lose their pensions.
While the election began as a second referendum on BREXIT when the polls showed that the Conservative Party of Prime Minister Boris Johnson was well ahead of Labour, the Labour Party did what politicians are great at – tried to change the subject. The Labour Party, led by Jeremy Corbyn, turned the election away from BREXIT, which he knew he would lose, and transformed it to the claim that the Conservatives would sell Britain’s National Health Service to Americans. That was really absurd since the U.S. government cannot deal with Obamacare yet they were going to take over Britain’s failing health system?
The significance of this election is demonstrating the rising frustration with governments. As they say, it is better to deal with the devil you know and in that case, it is British Parliament. The British people have no right whatsoever to vote on the policies coming from Brussels. The British government loses every time in any dispute with Brussels. It has been simply a relationship that has never enjoyed mutual respect.
Wakey Wakey – Exit Polls Show Landslide Conservative Boris Johnson Win in U.K. Elections – Open Discussion Thread….
December 12, 2019
A “landslide”, a complete “wipe-out”, a “massive victory” appears looming for Boris Johnson and the conservative party in the U.K. if exit polls are accurate.
These blowout results guarantee a faster Brexit from the European Union and the leftist labor party in the U.K. has been crushed. Conservatives look to have picked up 50 seats and Labor has lost 71 seats; the Scottish National Party (SNP) has picked up 20.
The “Remainers” in the U.K. have been decimated, and the voters who want to “Leave” the EU have fueled a massive victory for Boris Johnson. Liberal heads are blown-out, bigly.
(Via Daily Mail) Boris Johnson hailed his new blue-collar Tory army tonight as it emerged he is on track to secure a staggering landslide in the election battle – with Labour’s ‘red wall’ of Brexit-backing strongholds imploding.
A dramatic exit poll shows voters handing the Tories a massive 368 seats, with Labour languishing on 191 – down 71 on 2017 and the worst performance in modern history.
The bombshell numbers would give a huge Commons majority of 86, the biggest since Margaret Thatcher’s triumph in 1987, and are equivalent to a 10-point lead in the popular vote. (more)
This result also has massive ramifications for a U.S-U.K trade deal; and subsequently major leverage for the U.S. (independently) and a U.S. – U.K. alliance in future trade negotiations against the European Union.
Comey’s black Eyes
“Comey Doesn’t Realize What Just Hit Him”
James Comey now claims he is vindicated by the newly released Inspector General’s Report.
I wasn’t surprised, because Michael Horowitz is part of the Deep State. He did deliver a few punches that landed on Comey, but then he recommend against prosecution.
Nothing was political according to the Inspector General.
Nothing is political yet everything is political with the left.
Comey simply made a bunch of mistakes such as leaking classified material, but pay no mind to that…he’s only human. We all make mistakes.
Roger Stone made a human mistake. It’s called a slip of memory. He was surrounded early in the morning by an FBI swat team. Now the Deep State wants to send him to jail for life. Even though it was for a case that proved no Russia Collusion whatsoever. Yet Hillary and the Deep State want Stone in prison. Does that sound like equal justice?
The left-leaning fake news mass media were all claiming victory after the release of the IG Report. They think they won the fight even though it did deliver a few black eyes to the FBI.
Taxpayers had to pay nearly $50 million for Mueller’s investigation, which proved a colossal waste of time and money. Many in the FBI lied to the FISA court judges in order to give legs to the Russia collusion farce. Hillary paid for the Steele Dossier; a pack of lies made up by Russian ‘sources.’
Hillary colluded with Russia to thwart a lawfully elected president. They also lied to make sure the Trump campaign was spied upon. All roads lead to Obama on that one.
William Barr and John Durham both disagree with Horowitz’s conclusions and that’s encouraging.
Contrary to what the Inspector General determined, the Russia Investigation was NOT justified. It’s time for Barr and Durham to go after the criminals behind the attempted coup. Let’s start draining that swamp!

Climate change has become a ‘new religion’
Pollution v Climate Change
Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate
Re-Posted Dec 12, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: Mr, Armstrong; in searching your writings you acknowledge that pollution is a problem. So to be clear, you distinguish pollution from climate change? Can you articulate the difference?
HJ
ANSWER: We all want clean air, water, and the environment. As I have said, I lived in London in the mid-1980s when the buses were diesel. It was horrible. You had to hold your breath when you walked near one. They finally eliminated them in 2016. Did it change the climate? No. Did they pollute the air? Yes.
The first known Clean Air Act occurred in 535 AD. Emperor Justinian proclaimed the importance of clean air as a birthright. “By the law of nature these things are common to mankind—the air, running water, the sea.” Even Cicero wrote about pollution in the ancient city of Rome. For you see, CO2 is not solely produced by fossil fuels. When a forest is on fire, it gives off CO2, and before fossil fuels, they burned wood to stay warm. Burning crude oil releases less carbon dioxide than burning coal. Since ancient times, they have been burning peat for fuel. That is far worse than even coal.
The point is fairly simple. Plants breathe CO2. They naturally clean CO2 from the air hence they call this the “Greenhouse Effect” where plants and trees would love and people would not. The climate ALWAYS changes. We are a pimple on the rear end of a fly when it comes to changing the climate. That is entirely different from pollution, which the majority are against.
Greta & Mother Living Lavishly?
Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate
Re-Posted Dec 11, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
The latest rumor running around Europe is based on this photo of Greta Thunberg and her mother living above normal European standards of living, sitting in posh or elegant and stylishly luxurious chairs. Greta’s speeches appear to be written by Jennifer Morgan of Greenpeace. They had Greta further their Marxist agenda saying:
“Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine can live in luxury. It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.”
Greta was an adviser to We Don’t Have Time and it was alleged to have been a covert partnership with Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, 350.org. Ingmar Rentzhog’s We Don’t Have Time was alleged to have used Greta’s image to gain funds for his firm, according to Climate Change Dispatch. Greta’s family denied being aware that she would be used to raise money for Mr. Rentzhog’s organisation and is said to have cut her ties with that organization.
Greta’s travel to Alberta inflamed serious passions from both sides of the climate change agenda. She appeared to have been accompanied by her parents. She claims her mother gave up her career because she had to fly often, which harmed the climate, but they had no problem hopping on a plane to Canada.
What is clear is that Al Gore and Jennifer Morgan of Greenpeace do collaborate together and it has been Morgan who accompanies Greta even to Davos. Some argue that Al Gore is taking care of Greta and her family through Greepeace. That remains speculation right now unless you can get a court to order Greta & her family’s financial records to see how they are earning a living when her mother quit her career to save the planet because she had to travel for work.
Swedish journalist Henrik Alexandersson also claimed that Miss Thunberg’s much-reported speech delivered at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poland in December 2018 was delivered to an empty room. Nobody has any photos to confirm or deny that allegation. It has been argued that Greta’s school strike coincided with the launch of a book about climate change written by her mother, who is the well known opera singer Malena Ernman, according to Swiss magazine Die Weltwoche.
Time Magazine named Greta person of the year without any investigation into who is writing the speeches she will often stand up and read as she did at Davos.
