Half of Women Childless by 30 – Fewer People to Tax


Armstrong Economics Blog/Nature Re-Posted Feb 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) completed a survey that shows over 50% of women are childless by the time they reach their 30th birthday. This marks the first time that over half of women in this age group did not report having children since record-keeping began in 1920.

Around 57% of women born in 1970 began a family by the age of 30, and 76% of women born in 1950 reportedly had as well. At the dawn of the World War II Baby Boomer years, women born in 1949 typically had children by the age of 22. Those born in the 1920s usually had children by the age of 26, which was later than the generation before and after them due to the war. The most common age to enter motherhood is now 31. Women have been having fewer children on average as well since outdated unrepealed taxes, such as the income tax, have made it nearly impossible for one income to support a household.

All first-world countries are in a real crisis for they have insufficient children to maintain their population size. Numerous countries are introducing immigrants into their populations to compensate for the lack of people to tax. At this rate, all social programs will collapse as they were never designed properly from the outset. They are based on a Ponzi scheme where they rely on taxing a growing younger population to service the benefits of the older generation. This also points to a deeper shift in family values and overall life. Countries such as Russia and Hungary have implemented financial incentives for women to give birth, but the cost of childcare and raising a human are out of reach for many in the Millennial generation.

Inflation in South Korea Rises 3.6% to 10-Year High


Armstrong Economics Blog/East Asia Re-Posted Feb 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Inflation is soaring worldwide. South Korea experienced a near 10-year high in inflation this January after prices spiked 3.6% YoY. This is the tenth consecutive month that South Korea’s inflation ran above the central bank’s 2% target. Core inflation spiked 2.6% from the same time period last year as costs for goods and services rose.

Fresh food prices spiked 6% YoY, while agricultural and fisheries noted a 6.3% gain. Rising fuel and automotive prices produced a 7.2% YoY rise in transportation costs. Gas prices alone have risen by 13% in the last year, with diesel seeing a 16% increase.

The Bank of Korea (BOK) noted during its January meeting that it was concerned about rising prices and raised rates by 0.25 points to 1.25% to match pre-pandemic levels. Asia’s fourth-largest economy had bounced back from this pandemic after experiencing the fastest economic growth on record last year when GDP expanded 4%. The BOK believes the economy will grow by 3% in 2022, and the markets are anticipating additional rate hikes throughout the year. However, BOK Governor Lee’s term ends in March, which coincides with the nation’s presidential election, leading to increased uncertainty.

Neil Young Fans Trying to force Spotify to remove ALL Conservative Commentary


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Feb 6, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

I think it is time for a class-action lawsuit against Neil Young and his near-dead washed-up singer. He has intimidated Spotify to shut down conservative speech on Spotify acting more like communists and fascists than anyone in recent history. The government can not do what Young is doing. That violates everyone’s constitutional rights. He wants the Soviet Union where you are only allowed to listen to the state propaganda. He is the champion of Big Pharma and rejects that anything they do could possibly hurt people. Anyone who has lost a family member to vaccines has a grip with Neil Young.

Spotify has pulled more than 100 episodes now of Joe Rogan taking down not just anything to do with COVID, but all pre-COVID podcasts that had anything to do with conservative views. People will no doubt now retaliate against Young and we obviously now need a free speech platform and Spotify is showing their LEFTIST agenda. These people hate the Constitution and our freedom. Spotify stock has dropped 35% in one month. Many people are now divesting from any company that supports these leftists against our freedoms.

Armstrong Economics 2017 Cycles of War Report

Do any people wonder why our computer has been projecting rising civil unrest and war ahead? We can see now how those on the left are never content to just live their lives their way. They have to always demand that everyone else do as they demand. This is why there will be separation, civil wars, and international wars. It is just inevitable for it is impossible to live peacefully with people like Neil Young. The left always demands it is their way or no way.

The people who founded this country knew what tyranny was all about. They are at it against and determined to destroy our future and that of our children because it does not conform to the way they want the world to function.

DeSantis To Investigate GoFundMe for Fraud


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Feb 6, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Now GoFundMe has also turned against the people refusing to release the money to the Trucker Protests. Others have tried to donate in Australia and the USA and reporting that GoFundMe is just keeping the money. In Florida, DeSantis has publicly stated he is launching a criminal investigation for FRAUD. GoFundMe has committed Wire Fraud and those involved face 20 years in prison. They had the audacity to say they will keep the money donated to the Truckers and ONLY refund if people request it. That is criminal fraud. I seriously doubt that the Biden Administration will act proving they ONLY prosecute crimes that go against them. I doubt the Feds will prosecute even though this is a slam-dunk case of outright wire fraud.

GoFundMe is accepting the money, but refusing to hand it over to the truckers. But they are also not returning it according to various allegations surfacing. Our very way of life is under attack. The LEFT is doing what they did under Marx. What is next? Instead of killing 200 million, they intend to kill 3.2 billion of us so they can rule the world their way?

Now the alternative site that was allowing money to be sent to the Truckers, GoSendGo, has been under attack to try to shut them down. They have not succeeded. This is really a revolution in the making that will not end peacefully. The left will not tolerate any opposition. That is always the nature of those who ascribe to leftist ideology.

Heavily Armed Tactical Police Units Move In and Confiscate Fuel from Ottawa Freedom Protests Truckers


February 6, 2022 | sundance | 261 Comments

Video from Ottawa shows heavily armed tactical police units move in to take fuel supplies from the Canadian Truckers during their Freedom Protest.

Let this serve as yet another example of how police units will respond to carry out the orders of government officials regardless of what laws, limits or duties ordinary citizens may project upon them.

When told to load YOU into the cattle cars, or fire upon any resistance effort, every single police officer will follow orders; and they will execute those orders with extreme prejudice, without distinction for constitutional limitations.  In the era of COVID compliance, all police officers are jackboot security agents of the authoritarian state.  Conduct your affairs accordingly.

The fuel supplies were confiscated by tactical police officers, loaded into government trucks and removed from the area.

We waited to post this update to see if any resistance voice would come from within the Canadian government.  Do you see a single voice of political opposition?   No.  That should answer every question.

As we saw in Poland circa 1981, the only tyrannical resistance that is likely to be successful (in the long term) is a full worker strike in the same manner as the Solidarity movement.  Until the governing elites, and their political supporters, feel the same level of pain as the ordinary working class felt during the lockdowns, do not expect anything to change.

Stop cooking, cleaning, serving, assisting, delivering, facilitating or supporting the lives of the people within the ruling class.  Shut it down. All of it.  Shun, isolate and ridicule those who are guards for the totalitarian state.  Then, perhaps, things might change.

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin Endorses Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski for Reelection


February 6, 2022 | sundance | 133 Comments

Everything we ever needed to know about Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski we saw firsthand in 2010 when she lost the primary race to Republican Joe Miller and refused to give up her seat.

Senator Murkowski lost the 2010 primary, then abandoned her party affiliation and ran on a write-in platform permitting thousands of Democrats to vote for her in a subsequent three-way general election.  Murkowski is a Democrat Party installed Republican member of the UniParty, the most obvious example of the illusion of choice in politics.

As a result, Democrat Senator Joe Manchin is not exactly doing anything out of bounds here when he endorses Democrat installed Senator Lisa Murkowski for relection.  WATCH (12:16 Prompted):

.

The goal in the 2022 Alaska primary is to defeat Lisa Murkowski again, and then leverage the strength of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement to make it impossible for her to run as another write-in candidate.  Lisa Murkowski MUST BE removed.

Sunday Talks, All GOP Club Members Asked if They Support Mike Pence Remarks on Friday


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 6, 2022 | sundance | 292 Comments

For those who might not have been paying attention, last Friday the RNC Club membership held a discussion at the Federalist Society meeting in Florida.

The Federalist Society is the paid subcontractor of the RNC Club who provide the approved list of judicial nominees that club members are required to support.

Multinational business interests pay the Federalist Society to get their friends on the list, that’s their smaller business model within the club.

The Federalist Society then ranks the names according to the amount provided and the tenured status of the insider individual or group providing the reference. Then the list is passed along to the Club members, political leadership members, who are within the framework of government to install.

Former Republican Vice President Mike Pence and current Republican Governor Ron DeSantis attended the Federalist Society event together at the request of the RNC Club affiliate.   The Club board members requested that Vice President Mike Pence use the opportunity to distance a non-club member, Donald Trump, from the organization.

As a tenured Club member, Mike Pence was happy to oblige the request – create the distance the club requested and create the narrative for Club use over the upcoming weekend, including today.

As a consequence of the planned and orchestrated sequence of insider events, all other tenured Club members were then grilled by the media about whether they agree or disagree with the Club’s opinion of the target, Donald Trump.

One example of the Club objective can be found when Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio appeared on CBS with Margaret Brennan. WATCH:

As the 2022 primary season begins to take shape, it is important to remember that all messaging from the people within the private Club known as the GOP (for selected politicians) or RNC (for membership to support the selected politicians), does not come from some organic coincidence.

Everything we witness as the Club enters their season of greatest business opportunity is all carefully coordinated and presented.

Remember, “artful politics is the purposeful creation of an illusion of options for the audience,” and YOU are the audience.

Something Not Emphasized Enough


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 6, 2022 | sundance | 273 Comments

There is a baseline CTH readers are likely familiar with, but something we have not emphasized enough in quite some time.

The Republican National Committee (RNC), and the Democrat National Committee (DNC), are private clubs.

The RNC and DNC are corporations, private businesses; and just like all private businesses, they have the ability to make rules, bylaws, terms and conditions of membership and association that are completely arbitrary according to their charter.

The RNC and DNC are not entities of government.  The RNC and DNC are not affiliates of government.  The RNC and DNC have absolutely no connection to government, other than their arbitrary business model for helping politicians enter and remain within government.

In fact, the RNC and DNC are simply private corporations who engage in the business of politics.  Whenever we start to forget the DNC and RNC are private corporations, we can slip into the mistaken belief that they operate on any form of baseline altruism.

These corporations exist for the fulfillment of their mission; and their mission is to use the business of politics as a method of financial reward to sustain the business model.

Some call these private entities, these corporations, “clubs,” because using that term helps to remind us that these groups do not operate without a private agenda.

The rules within the RNC club are determined by the people who control the club charter, primarily large donors who fund the corporate business.  If they have a particular intent or direction, they wish the club to support or take, they control how the club engages in the process of achieving their outcome.  That effort is taken regardless of the opinion from the subordinate members in the club.

Through the process of controlling the corporations, the private clubs, both the RNC and DNC control how political events take place.  Nothing within this process is contingent upon the support of the voting electorate.

Each state and local precinct has their own chapter of the club, and often the corporate direction, specifically the club activity in/around Washington DC, is different from what the local groups want to see take place.  However, just because the local chapter of the group disagrees with the parent company or board of directors, does not mean the larger corporate entity will change anything.

When we are evaluating political events inside the United States, it is critical to keep reminding ourselves that what is taking place, or what is not taking place, are outcomes determined within the executive suites of a private club.   This is an unfortunate system dynamic, but it is a critical point that once fully understood explains many of the issues people have with the registered politicians within the club.

The RNC and DNC are businesses.  Their decisions are business decisions.  The club actions, or lack thereof, are all part of the business of politics.

The tenured participants in the club do not operate arbitrarily in a vacuum.  They talk to each other, communicate with each other, organize with each other, plan with each other, and collaborate for the larger objectives of the private corporation.

Nothing within the business system of DC and club politics has anything to do with the constitutional framework of U.S. government.

Again, for emphasis.  The governing process and constitutional aspects of the framework within the U.S. government, have absolutely nothing to do with the two private corporations known as the RNC and DNC.
