Having Children is the Most Destructive Thing the Planet?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Population Re-Posted May 12, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

These people are truly insane. If they believe that humans are the most destructive thing on this planet, then they should lead the way to mass suicide. It makes one think that perhaps in protest, we need to go have as many children as possible, for the birth rates have been declining. I have been in discussions in Europe, and the main reason they have welcomed the immigrants is that their birth rate has declined, and their social programs are collapsing. By allowing the immigrants into Europe, the true objective was to increase the workforce in hopes of sustaining the Socialist system and retirement plans that are crumbling.

Gates has won the day. He is having all of these environmentalists taking grants from his foundation to put out studies to support his position of reducing the population.

In Japan there have been More Suicides than Deaths from COVID


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted May 11, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

More people have died from suicide in Japan than COVID. While Fauci says he is only concerned about health and not human rights, he ignores all the suicides that are taking place around the world, from people losing everything to teenagers who see their future wiped out. This is the problem. We live in a Republic which is easily bribed and always falls into an Oligarchy.

Unfortunately, the press will not defend human rights and support Gates and Fauci, who have no respect for people, and instead they look down upon us as the stupid sheep. Japan should criminally charge Fauci and Gates, and watch how the USA will refuse to extradite them violating international law.

May 8th Began Civil Unrest In Jerusalem


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted May 11, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Civil Unrest began in Jerusalem and has escalated to even flames on the Temple Mount. This has a lot of people particularly concerned especially when the Biden Administration was more friendly with Iran thanks to John Kerry.

On May 8th Soldiers Send Second Letter Threatening Macron


Armstrong Economics Blog/France Re-Posted May 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The reports are pouring in from around the world about May 8th. In France, another group of serving French soldiers has published a new open letter warning President Macron that the “survival” of France is at stake after he made “concessions” to Islamism. The letter was posted on the Valeurs Actuelles website late on Sunday, May 9th for everyone to see. It expresses a similar warning previously published last month. There are those in the French military warning that the nation could fall into civil war.

This is the problem. When the economy turns down, that is when conflict arises. These European leaders are absolutely foolish to think they can use this virus to justify crushing their economies so they can all build back better. Of course, Macron’s government called it a lack of courage and they are unbelievably ignorant of history.

May 8th & New UK Legislation This Week – Build Back Better


Armstrong Economics Blog/Europe’s Economic History Re-Posted May 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty; Here in Britain May 8th will prove to be important. This is the week that Johnson announced he would introduce his new legislation to “build back better” so it looks like this is going to be an important turning point.

REPLY: Perhaps that and the EU’s dream of a one-term confiscation of assets under the guise of a tax will contribute greatly to not just the demise of Europe, but to weakening the economy to show the world they are like Rome so this is the time for the barbarians to storm the gates in the years ahead.

Putin says Lenin Destroyed 1,000-Year-Old Russia


Armstrong Economics Blog/Russia Re-Posted May 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Putin reveals what he thought about Lenin’s entire Communist movement, making it clear that Lenin was not a statesman but just a Bolshevik Revolutionary.

The importance of this answer by Putin reveals how he thinks of Ukraine. Lenin tried to standardize all humans into this cookie-cutter idea and failed. Putin is revealing his disagreement with the Great Reset, which is following the same mistake of Lenin. He is far more intelligent than the Western press portrays him.

Face Book 32% of Global Population


Armstrong Economics Blog/BigTech Re-Posted May 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

There is a massive campaign unfolding against Facebook. The biggest and most stupid mistake they made was to take sides in politics by banning and canceling anyone with who they disagree. Besides all of that, Facebook has invaded people’s privacy like no other platform. They track everything you do and sell that info to the highest bidder. The number of active users of Facebook (those people who have logged onto the site in the previous month) has reached a historic high of  2.45 billion. To put this in some context, approximately 32% of the global population now uses the social media platform, and the trend line of participation is still going up. About 63% of American adults are on Facebook and 65% of the youth.

Back in 2004, when a 19-year-old Zuckerberg had just started building Facebook, he sent his Harvard friends a series of instant messages in which he marveled at the fact that 4,000 people had volunteered their personal information to his nascent social network. “People just submitted it … I don’t know why … They ‘trust me’ … dumb fucks.”

In 2019, Facebook was ordered to create new layers of oversight for its collection and handling of users’ data by the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC detailed a privacy settlement with the social network. Still, the FTC buckled to the lobbying power of Facebook. The F.T.C.’s commissioners approved the restrictions in a 3-to-2 vote but drew very sharp criticism for not going far enough. The FTC utterly failed to curb the data collection of the world’s largest social media company. Republican and Democratic lawmakers even said that the settlement was a drop in the bucket for Facebook, The FTC failed to limit a core practice that has repeatedly raised privacy questions, and since they have ventured into manipulating elections precisely as the Russians were accused of back in 2016. The people simply being victims of this cancel culture is growing exponentially.

So just how stupid are people? It seems to be very stupid. Back in 2018, the Observer revealed how Cambridge Analytica, a company funded by conservative billionaire Robert Mercer, acquired and exploited the data associated with 50 million Facebook profiles. It appears that while Facebook had been aware of what the Observer described as “unprecedented data harvesting” for two years, it did not notify the affected users.
