Protests against COVID Restrictions Engulfing Europe
Freedom Protests in Milian, Italy Today
You Thought You Were Free? (Revised)
Civil Unrest in Australia
Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized Re-Posted Jul 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
COMMENT: Marty; I do not know why you do not have the Noble Prize except for the fact that they are the establishment and what you have done with Socrates is beyond what anyone else has ever been able to forecast. Your model that said we would face civil unrest and then international war is coming to life. Here is Australia as in Europe, people are starting to wake up.
My God. Thank you for everything.

REPLY: Nobody can forecasts these types of events years in advance from a personal gut feeling of claim “I think” which is typical. These forecasts are merely the failure of our entire approach to manipulating the world economy. I did add about 70 pages to what is now the 5th edition on sale in Amazon and Barnes & Noble. You cannot see the future without understanding the past. I know there are people selling this for $300 on EBay. But they are $110 on Amazon and $125 on Barnes and Noble. We do not do the pricing. The publisher and stores do that.
Israeli Government Approves COVID Fascism, Compulsory Vaccinations and Legally Required Masks For All Citizens Effective August 8th
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 24, 2021 | Sundance | 310 Comments
Comrades, it must be said that Israeli fascism is a particularly ironic form of Fascism. However, when you combine fascist government dictates from the Jewish state along with newly approved forced vaccinations, the level of irony exceeds adequate encapsulation.
The only level of irony missing is armbands for the non-vaccinated. Here’s the Announcement (with excerpt transcript below):
[TRANSCRIPT] – … “Dear citizens, those who refuse vaccines are endangering their health, those around them and the freedom of every Israeli citizen. They are endangering our freedom to work, the freedom of our children to learn and the freedom to hold celebrations with the family.
Those who refuse vaccines hurt us all because if all of us were vaccinated, we would all be able to maintain daily life. But if one million Israelis continue to not get vaccinated, this will oblige the eight million others to shut themselves in their homes.
Therefore, the [Corona] Cabinet decided today that as of 8 August, those who refuse vaccines will not be able to go to the cinema, the theater, the synagogue, the amusement park, the soccer game or any activity with over 100 people, indoors or out, unless they bring negative results from a coronavirus test, at their expense. Yes, they will fully bear the costs of the test. There is no reason why the taxpayers and people who have carried out their civic duty and have been vaccinated should finance tests for those who refuse to get vaccinated.
Regarding flights, people who have been vaccinated will be able to fly to the clean countries and return; after they receive negative test results in Israel, they will be exempt from quarantine.
But on the other hand, those who refuse to get vaccinated will enter quarantine for a week, no matter what country they will have returned from. These actions will help us block the morbidity. From here, I appeal to everyone who knows someone who refuses to get vaccinated: Persuade them. Explain to them that they will not hurt others.
[…] When two people wear masks, with all of the viral load that we mentioned, the likelihood goes down by 98%. Therefore, every citizen must wear a mask in closed spaces. This is not a recommendation, this is a legal requirement.” (read full transcript here)
The irony is jaw-dropping. The nation state of Israel has become the very embodiment of what it claimed to oppose. While it is often said that in order for some forms of ideology to exist they must pretend not to know things, this example is very remarkable.
Last point… Watch carefully how Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro approach this issue – or even if they address it at all. My hunch says the most likely course of action they will take, at least they would prefer to take, would be to ignore it completely. But, we’ll grant them the benefit of the doubt and watch for their reaction….
This is a high risk moment for those who have held themselves up as principled advocates for self-determination. A very interesting moment for those of us who have long seen through the veil.
Italy Joins France in COVID Vaccination Requirement to Engage in Social Life, Restaurants, Theaters, Stadiums, Gyms, Shopping
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 23, 2021 | Sundance | 76 Comments
Last week the French government announced they would require a “sanitation passport” for any French citizen who wanted to engage in almost all forms of social life like shopping, eating at restaurants, movie theaters, or events where crowds were present. There has been some backlash and protest, but not nearly enough to stop other EU nations from following the French process.
Today, the Italian government announced similar measures with their “green pass” to force vaccinations upon the Italian people if they wish to participate in social functions that interact with other people.
Without a green pass, Italian citizens and visitors will not be allowed to eat at restaurants, attend theaters, or events where any size crowd might be assembled.
(France24) […] The so-called Green Pass is a digital or paper certificate that shows if someone has received at least one jab, has tested negative or has recently recovered from COVID-19.
As of Aug. 6, the pass will be required to go to gyms, swimming pools, sports stadiums, museums, spas, casinos and cinemas. Eating in indoor restaurants also requires a pass. Some 48.2% of Italians are fully inoculated and 14.1% are awaiting a second jab, according to latest data. (read more)
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said, “Calls for people not to get vaccinated is a call for people to die. If you don’t vaccinate, you get sick, you die or you let other people die”, in his effort to use political and social peer pressure to gain vaccination compliance.
Stay tuned, this forced vaccination protocol is very near to happening here in the USA. The mid-term COVID variant, also known as the Delta Variant, is being used in order to establish the groundwork for the 2022 election cycle.
The scale of U.S. governmental push and pressure on private companies to comply is unlike anything I can remember in my lifetime. The effort is very creepy now…. and we can anticipate that free and independent states who are not forcing a mandated vaccine will likely come under even more extreme federal pressure.
Woke USA Women Soccer Team Lose 3-0 at Olympics

Perhaps if they spent a little more energy on soccer skills, and a little less energy attempting to be the woke champions of US sport, the outcome may have been different. Alas, there’s a great number of Americans who shrug because USA women’s national soccer has evolved into a political assembly who happen to play soccer. The team’s egotistical, arrogant, pompous and virtue-signaling attitude is a considerable turn-off.
This is the same team that wears ‘Black Lives Matter’ on their uniforms, and kneels instead of stands for the U.S. national anthem to showcase to the world just how woke they are. Team Captain Ms. Rapinoe refuses to sing the U.S. national anthem; kneels during ceremonies to make her hatred for America visible; and grabs every microphone to tell the media about her politics in an effort to increase her woke resistance credentials.
Team USA soccer loses in the first round of the Olympics to Sweden. Meh, it’s a headline because, well, karma or something.
TOKYO (AP) — Sweden didn’t have to bunker down on defense against the Americans this time. Stina Blackstenius scored a pair of goals and the Swedes stunned the United States at the Olympics with a 3-0 victory Wednesday in the women’s soccer tournament.
The Americans, ranked No. 1 in the world and the favorites to win gold in Tokyo, were riding a 44-match unbeaten streak heading into the match. But Sweden, ranked No. 5, has been the U.S. team’s nemesis of sorts in recent years. The Swedes bounced the Americans from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games in the quarterfinals, the earliest U.S. Olympic exit ever, by making a defensive stand. (read more)

World in Chaos
Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Jul 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
In South Africa, the currency has fallen hard as riots have devasted the country. They looted the mall, except for the bookstore. The former South African President Jacob Zuma turned himself in to begin a 15-month sentence for contempt of court. This has sent the country into a tailspin. Contempt of court is an abuse of judicial power, for they claim they can lock anyone up for any reason whatsoever.
In Greece, there are thousands of people protesting against the discrimination of people who have not been vaccinated and the mandatory vaccinations and other measures imposed by the Greek government to tackle the pandemic in Athens. There are far worse viruses that have taken place, yet governments have not destroyed the economies and taken such totalitarian measures. This in itself has raised skepticism as to what is really going on when the death rate is minimal.
In Britain, 47% of those with COVID have been vaccinated. In Australia, the mob stormed the government as in ancient Roman times resulting in chaos on the streets of Melbourne just hours before the city entered its fifth lockdown. The protesters have marched through the CBD, saying if they do not act, he will get away with it again. What I am hearing is that many are starting to say they would rather die in freedom than live in prison indefinitely. This is our problem. Governments will NEVER admit a mistake, and the fact that they are so involved with the vaccines, we have nobody to offer independent verification of anything.
Meanwhile, the Biden Administration wants to shut down all dissent and has been putting pressure on Big Tech to shut down people who disagree with the administration.
The greatest problem here is that Biden has stated UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE will he ever fire Fauci. That implicitly means he refuses to investigate anything about his research or the connection with Wuhan. That means the Biden Administration will NEVER provide the truth about COVID or anything else. The US will not admit that the origin of COVID might be linked to Fauci — he is above any investigation.
