Pentagon Study Finds Old Threat


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Funded by the Pentagon, the RAND Corporation’s National Security Research Division published its annual report to note potential risks to national security. RAND researchers found that aging politicians may be a danger to the US. “Taken together, we believe that an increasing number of cleared personnel — that is, personnel who hold or have held security clearances — have or will have dementia,” concluded the RAND researchers.

Joe Biden has the codes to our nuclear weapons, allegedly, but can’t recall what he had for breakfast. McConnell has begun freezing amid conferences and everyone looks the other way. Feinstein relinquished the rights of her own estate because she doesn’t trust her current mental health. We’ve seen Biden make countless remarks about his handlers telling him where to go, who to call upon, and what to say. Yet even though these people work for us, they refuse to leave office.

Researchers found that aging US politicians have “difficulty remembering new information, poor judgment, impulsivity, disorientation, and behavioral changes.” We’ve seen the commander-in-chief exhibit all of these symptoms. The report notes that those with dementia are very vulnerable and may be targeted by an adversary. It is not possible for someone with this degenerative condition to hold onto classified information, let alone make informed decisions on behalf of the nation.

RAND researchers believe that the US government should codify a process to keep track of elderly individuals with security clearances to monitor them for symptoms of dementia. Our current Congress is the oldest in American history. The average Democratic senator is 65, while the average Republican senator is 63. Joe Biden became the oldest president of the United States at 77, and 77% of Americans believe he is simply to old for a second term. Dementia is a completely avoidable threat to national security if we hold elected officials accountable.

Rule of Law & Prosecutors Are ALWAYS Above the Law

Anyone who thinks prosecutors are to be trusted is out of your mind. I have NEVER met one that had an ounce of honesty or ethics. It is extremely rare for any court actually to go after a prosecutor. Perhaps one in a billion. They are on the same team to uphold their 99% conviction rate. Back in 2017, a prosecutor was caught red-handed listening to conversations of a defendant and their lawyer. They do that all the time. Even the New York Times published “Rampant Prosecutorial Misconduct” which was a shock that they acknowledged anything.

In a mafia case, the defendant asked for his phone call recordings in prison. They sent him those of the rat who would testify against him. There, he was on the phone with the prosecutor who was asking him to testify against someone else. He told the prosecutor he didn’t know that guy. The prosecutor said no problem; after he preps him, he will know him like his brother. He then submitted the tapes to Judge Kaplan in New York, demanding an investigation. Kaplan said that was a violation for a different case and refused to allow the tapes to be heard by the jury.

There was a 23-year-old kid charged with a conspiracy for a drug murder, and his crime was someone asked where some guy was, and he pointed over there. He wanted to go to trial, and the prosecutor moved for the death penalty because they never got on in NYC. This list goes on and on.

Prosecutors abuse the system to win unjust convictions ALL THE TIME. There is the case of JOSEPH SALVATIwhere the Boston jury awarded $102 million because the prosecutors KNEW they were convicting the wrong person. Anyone working for the government who does this sort of thing should be imprisoned. After all, they violate the civil rights of an individual and remain immune from criminal prosecution.

There is the case of Jack McCullough sentenced to life in prison in 1957, who was finally released in 2016. One Judge, U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May, ruled that the SEC courts established by Roosevelt were unconstitutional. The government just ignored the ruling.

Wilson Edwin Paul

Then there was Edwin Paul Wilson (1928 – 2012), a former CIA and U.S. Naval Intelligence officer who was convicted in 1983 of illegally selling weapons to Libya. When one agency caught him, the CIA denied he worked for them. He was tried and convicted. His daughter fought to get documents to prove he worked for the government, which they denied. What they did to Wilson should give anyone pause as to why they would work for the government.

You can tell Wilson was innocent because they kept him in solitary confinement – the ultimate torture. They did that to prevent him from having free communications outside the prison.

It was later proven that the United States Department of Justice and the CIA had covered up evidence in the case. Wilson’s convictions were overturned in 2003, and he was freed the following year.

Wilson filed a civil suit against seven former federal prosecutors, two of whom are now federal judges and a past executive director of the CIA. On March 29th, 2007, U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal dismissed his case on the grounds that all eight had immunity covering their actions.

Nobody will hold prosecutors accountable, and most judges are former prosecutors, so good luck with pleading your case. There is not a vein of morality in most of these people. Even an honest judge is just overruled by the corrupt courts of appeal. When you stare into the eyes of a prosecutor or most judges, all you see is the coldness of evil stripped of all human emotion. They lose all humanity in order to do the job.

The Supreme Court has unleashed the total destruction of the Constitution upon all of us, and there is a growing call to acknowledge and address an epidemic of prosecutorial misconduct in the United States, but nobody will listen. The case was Imbler v. Pachtman, and its perverse holding is uncivilized in any democratic state, for it is the decision of a totalitarian regime.

History repeats because those in power will always act in their own self-interest. Nothing has changed since Thrasymachus warned Socrates, whom they sentenced to death, and Palto fled Athens, saying he would not allow a second crime against Philosophy.

There can be no justice when prosecutors are beyond responsibility for their deliberate actions. That is because ONLY the government can bring a criminal action, and they will NEVER prosecute their own. They would take the stand and state they were told to deny the Constitution and that they were only following orders.

It’s All Just Propaganda


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Sep 13, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Do you think it is impossible for anyone to forecast a market from a personal opinion perspective? I have followed your long-term forecasts and they have been amazing. But that is Socrates not you individually. Correct?

FD

ANSWER: Of course! Nobody, alive or dead, can forecast the future of any market or economy from a personal opinion basis. We learn in life from our mistakes – not our victories.  The fool never blames himself but always someone else. That guarantees they will never advance in life – they are vindictive idiots incapable of learning anything.

Back in 2015, I personally was hoping that gold would just crack $1,000. Had that taken place, we would have seen a major bull market. The computer gives us the time. That is not subject to opinion. That is why so many institutions rely on us. It is the same model in the world. What came afterward has been a slow rally, which has now three attempts to really break out, So this traps people on false moves and wears them down. It is the opposite of what I was hoping for in 2015, personally. The computer overrides my personal expectations, for that is what people look to – not my opinion.

Had gold cracked the $1,000 level, it would have been more like 1985 when it cracked $300, and everyone threw in the towel. Then, people kept shorting, expecting it to fall back to $100. That is what fueled the rally – constant sort positions. The failure to crack $1,000 in 2015 did not create the constant short-covering. It has been nothing but tired long positions praying for gold to go to $10,000. This is why you see the three failed attempts. There has not been a collapse in the confidence in government needed just yet. That is coming. Normally, the FOURTH time is the charm. They have already bought it. They are waiting for the rally – not buying more every day. These are observations of a trader – not forecasts.

For timing, we look to Socrates. Not my personal gut feeling.

The long-term forecasts have been spot on. That is not whether gold cracks the $1,000 or stopped at $1031. There is so much noise in the system that if gold or the Dow jumps 10% in a month, it still does not change the long-term trend. That is what the timing is for, and that is not based on human opinion.

There are people who try to discourage people from looking at Socrates. They are the same old people who hate geopolitical forecasting and are not honest; they are shills. No analyst is perfect for 40 years. So, there is a hidden agenda. Why? When it comes to the major forecasts like the fall of Communism, the Crash of 1987, the peak in gold in 2013, and even the 2007-2009 Great Recession – the computer has been spot on. Even forecasting that Ukraine would be where the war begins. That is what they do not want anyone to look at.

They are desperate to try to prevent people from looking at Socrates. Even in court, the Judge claimed I stole the idea of Pi from a movie in 1998, yet I had published the ECM more than 20 years before. It is astounding how far the government, with its fake narratives and its control of Wikipedia, is so desperate to prevent people from looking at the long-term forecasts. They do not like that they forecast by 2032 all of these Republican forms of government will collapse. The WEF and all their co-conspirators will FAIL! So, as always, they fear I have too much influence, and they never stop trying to prevent people from looking at Socrates. It is laughable that they want to claim I am personally wrong because something like gold cracking $1,000 v stopping at $1031 so you should not look at the real forecasts. Nobody can forecast consistently from a personal opinion perspective. We are all human. The long-term forecasts are NOT my opinion.

I have been named America’s top economist for forecasting the fall of Communism and the Japanese Bubble. I was named Fores Person of the Year for forecasting the collapse of the Swiss/Euro Peg. I was named Hedge Fund Manager of the Year for correcting trading during the Russian collapse where even George Soros lost $2 billion. See the Deutschbank Track Record of my fund below. I have returned from managing money – so no inquiries, please. It’s too much of a distraction in these perilous times.

Even in the movie they did on me, they filmed the forecasts from 2011 to 2014. Watch the film and see how many forecasts were correct. In the film, it is even said that in checking me out, Goldman Sachs replied that they believed they could crush me, but I usually won. I traded against all the big boys. They complained that I was correct ONLY because I had too much influence. I was even accused of manipulating the world economy because after they paid bribes for a guaranteed trade, they still lost. These people even tried to kill me. I was in a coma for several days, but I survived to their dismay. So, anyone who tries to disparage the forecast is typically on the payrolls of people who never want to meet.

They illegally held me in contempt for 7 years on a statute that authorized a maximum term of 18 months. I was released only when I got to the Supreme Court, and they ordered the government to explain what was going on. They released me and told the Supreme Court the case was then moot. I would have died in prison if the Supreme Court did not order the government to explain. They had no problem violating every law to ensure my silence.

Even the Business Insider at least reported the truth. I was even thrown into the highest security alongside the World Trade Center Terrorist from the first Attack, sharing a cell with one. They told my family I was not there in the prison. It took finally a judge to order them to find me in prison, no less. I have witnessed every possible scheme. They are doing this same strategy to Trump, thinking they could discredit him and nobly will vote for him. But the latest poll shows that he now has a 49-point lead, and 60% of the people polled said they would vote for Trump. This is the standard campaign to try to discredit a person. They are scared to death of Trump, and they have been scared to death of the forecast of my model for their demise.

Wikipedia refuses to publish the truth. Anyone who tries to correct the page, it is immediately removed. The Bank pled guilty, and returned the money it stole from my clients, and my plea is I failed to tell my clients over a weekend that the bank stole the money for “it’s own benefit”. This is like you murdered your spouse, and I failed to tell the government you did that, so I go to prison for conspiracy to murder.

My clients supported me. They refused to sign any criminal complaint against me. So the government and the bankers then put a gag order on me to prevent me from helping my clients sue the bank. You just cannot make up this stuff.

Wikipedia is now controlled by the Deep State, as is mainstream media. Here, the Founder of Wikipedia explains that it is no longer independent. ANYONE who tries to prevent anyone from looking at Socrates is part of the conspiracy against We the People. Look at what they have done to Julian Assange – total disgrace. They also intended to silence him as well. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the NEOCON, denied Australia’s insistence to end the prosecution against Assange. They are applying pressure now, and they may force the USA to yield, or they will not comply with the NEOCON demands. These people are absolutely horrible. When you look into their eyes, all you see is hatred and coldness, as if they are devoid of anything but pure evil. The CIA tried to bribe analysts to change their conclusions on the lab leak over COVID. There is NOTHING that comes from the government anymore that can be trusted. This is all part of 2032.

Larry Sanger, one of the founders of Wikipedia, states plainly it is now all propaganda.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy Announces Formal Impeachment Investigation of Biden, Led by James Comer, Jim Jordan and Jason Smith


Posted originally on the CTH on September 12, 2023 | Sundance 

I wish I could find something positive and optimistic in this announcement; unfortunately, the posturing moves of the DC machinery never lead to a genuine level of accountability. The UniParty protects its own.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announces the beginning of a formal impeachment inquiry stemming from the financial fraud and schemes deployed by the Biden family as they sold their positions for personal financial gain. WATCH:

[Transcript] – “In recent months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct; taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption.

“Now, here’s what we know so far:

“Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden lied to the American people about knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings.

“Eyewitnesses have testified that the President joined multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners, resulting in cars and millions of dollars to his son and his son’s business partners.

“Bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to Biden family members and associates through various shell companies.

“The Treasury Department, alone, has more than 150 transactions involving the Biden family and other business associates that were flagged as “suspicious activity” by U.S. banks.

“Even a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family.

“Biden used his official office to coordinate with Hunter Biden’s business partners about Hunter’s role in Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

“Finally, despite these serious allegations, it appears that the President’s family has been offered special treatment by Biden’s own administration; treatment he would not otherwise have received if he were not related to the President.

“These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption, and they warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives.

“That’s why today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public.

“It’s exactly what we want to know, the answers, and I believe the President would want to answer these questions and allegations as well.

“This effort will be led by Chairman James Comer at the Committee on Oversight, in coordination with Chairman Jim Jordan of the Judiciary Committee and Chairman Jason Smith on Ways and Means.

“I don’t make this decision lightly. And Regardless of your party or who you may have voted for, these facts should concern all Americans.

“The American people deserve to know that public offices are not for sale – and that the federal government is not being used to cover up the actions of a politically-associated family.

“I would encourage the President and his team to fully cooperate with this investigation in the interest of transparency.

“We are committed to getting the answers for the American public – nothing more, nothing less.

“We will go wherever the evidence takes us.”

Never Forget – 9/11


Armstrong Economics Blog/Violence Re-Posted Sep 11, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

We honor the victims of the worst terrorist attack on American soil — 9/11. Take a moment to remember heroes in the fire department (my cousin was one of them), EMS, police services, and civilians who felt called to help. Never forget those who were lost.

Yet also never forget that the first World Trade Center bombers drew the twin towers in their prison cell with planes going into them. Never forget that the government KNEW and admitted that much, justifying Homeland Security because some agencies did not share information. Never forget, to this day, we still must take off our shoes and cannot have a bottle of water or even a jar of peanut butter. The government knew, and WTC7 was clearly taken down to cover up the place where all the evidence was stored. The claimed plane that hit the Pentagon miraculously destroyed the very room with all the financial records for the audit of missing trillions.

All the tapes from my case that confirmed the manipulation of markets by the bankers were in WTC7.

The Death of Mainstream Media?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Press Re-Posted Aug 21, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hello, Mr. Armstrong; Being a European and looking in the window of America, how can Americans hate Trump so much and overlook Biden and Hunter? America is becoming the laughingstock of the world. They want to imprison Trump and let this senile man and his corrupt sun corrupt the world and create a war that will destroy Europe. If Biden allows all your illegal aliens to flock into your country to vote, we should also have a right to vote since your President seems to dictate to the world.

ANSWER: Our media cannot ignore the corruption of Hunter. They pretend it has nothing to do with his father and then claim the American people do not care. They want the death penalty for Trump, and CNN will rejoice.

In the revolt against Henry VI and the corruption of the Deep State, Shakespeare said the first thing we do is kill the lawyers, who were the king’s prosecutors. This time someone may be writing about this collapse in government and saying the first thing we do is hang the journalists. I strongly suggest that anyone who has children working for these news organizations, they better find a different job. They may not want to be looked upon with the same disdain in the years ahead.

We can see what CNN did to Warner Brothers. Their shares collapsed from $78.14 to $9.49 – that was an 87.8% decline! This is like Great Depression. There was a shake up, and they have been trying to move back. But with the volatility rising from 2024, honest reporting remains an unattainable dream.
