Civilization Dies When One Class Turns Against Another


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate

Re-Posted Oct 16, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

China is NOT on board with this nonsense of climate change caused by humans. The South China Morning Post has reported that their scientists have traced their civilization and its rise and fall to the energy output of the sun. Simply put, when the climate warms, civilization flourishes. When it turns cold, we isolate ourselves and civilization contracts.

China will take up the crown of the financial capital of the world because the West is just going insane with socialism and using climate as the excuse to seize power and wealth.

I have stated many times that when it is beneficial to come together, civilization expands because there is a synergy that rises that is greater than the sum of the parts. When civilization becomes corrupt and it feeds upon one class for the benefit of another, the very PURPOSE of coming together no longer makes sense and you witness this throughout separatists movements, revolutions, and civil war.

Are the Democrats Doomed in 2020?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Oct 16, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

The latest ruckus behind the curtain is that the whispers are turning into screams. The big donors to the Democratic Party have almost unanimously put the Democratic Party on notice that they will sit this one out or even donate to Trump if the party nominates either Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.

Based on very RELIABLE sources, those who normally donate to Democrats in New York City are not going to donate ANYTHING that would help AOC get reelected. In fact, they seem to be suggesting they will donate to the Republican challengers against those in the “squad” for they believe they are destroying the Democratic Party.

What is interesting is we have had inquiries from the Democratic side asking if our computer is still forecasting the demise of the Democratic Party. AOC and the squad have usurped the Democratic Party and have become the face of what it stands for, which is only confirmed by the rise of Elizabeth Warren against Joe Biden.

All our political models are looking very grim for the Democrats moving forward. There is even a very high risk that the party will fragment over this issue of extreme left to moderate liberal. Even all the bankers donated to Hillary last time but not Trump. This time, they are also indicating there will be no donations if Bernie or Pocahontas is the nominee. In 2016, Goldman Sachs went as far as banning senior staff from donating to Trump. They too may not be donating if Pocahontas is the nominee.

Blizzard Bans Blitzchung: Can China Stand Against a World of (Virtual) Warriors?


148K subscribers

Esports gamer Chung Ng Wai, who goes by Blitzchung, wears a gas mask and goggles and ends an interview saying “Liberate Hong Kong: Revolution of our times.” Hearthstone tournament sponsor Blizzard Entertainment bans him for a year and strips him of $10,000 in 2019 winnings. Is this just a case of an American company enforcing its legal contract and protecting its reputation? Or did parent company Activision Blizzard cave to minor investor Tencent Holdings Ltd., a massive Chinese conglomerate? Will global corporations ever stand up to the communist Chinese government and allow free speech? Can China stand against a world of (virtual) warriors who #BoycottBlizzard ?

The Big Yang Theory: Study Shows $500/Month Free Money Makes People Happy


148K subscribers

First results from a universal basic income (UBI) study in Stockton, California, shows that free money makes people happy, and that they spend most of it on basic needs like food and utilities, rather than on drugs, alcohol or gambling. Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs wants his $500 per month stipend experiment done statewide. Do these early results in a small-scale study bolster Democrat presidential candidate Andrew Yang’s White House run as he campaigns on a nationwide $1000 per month UBI plan? If you listen to the news and ask questions that reporters seem to ignore… If you wonder why the other side of the argument never seems to get equal representation… If it seems to you that the mainstream media live in a bubble (or on another planet)… If your ideas have stood the test of time, your principles remained steady throughout history, and you think that civility and rational thought should suffuse our public discourse, then you’re the kind of person who should consider joining us as a Member.

Super Camera Can Find You in a Crowd – No Place to Hide


Armstrong Economics Blog/Technology

Re-Posted Oct 14, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

If you thought you could hide, you will soon need a face transplant to do so. Chinese scientists at the Fudan University  and Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, have developed a 500MP cloud-connected “super camera” that can reportedly pick out facial details of an individual person among thousands in a crowded stadium.

Simply put, there is no place to hide.

Mollie Hemingway | Political Divide in America


91.7K subscribers

Mollie Hemingway spoke on October 3, 2019 during the 175th Anniversary Celebration. Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith. The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law. By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
