Swiss Diabolical Cancelation of their Currency


Armstrong Economics Blog/Great Reset Re-Posted May 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The cancelation of the Swiss currency is a serious issue for they are no longer legal tender already. Much of the 1,000 franc notes reside outside of Switzerland. They are replacing the notes with new ones which is in line with the problem with currency in Europe, to begin with. They are NOT eliminating all paper money as of yet. This practice in Europe prevents hoard of cash and compels people to come forward and explain where they got the money. The Swiss have been under pressure from the EU to cancel the 1,000 SF notes since 2013. The rumor is that this was prompted by Swiss’s largest insurance company, Swiss Life Holding AG and three of its subsidiaries just admitted to conspiring with US taxpayers to hide assets and income offshore. I do not think there is any real connection.

Previously, in 1952, the national bank ceased issuing 5-franc notes but introduced 10-franc notes in 1955. In 1996, 200-franc notes were introduced whilst the 500-franc note was discontinued. The likelihood of redemption is nill if you are in the United States. I personally use to keep a few hundred dollars worth of most currencies for traveling purposes. What I had from India is worthless and now the Swiss. I suspect the Euro will be next and they will probably cancel at a minimum the 500€ notes since they stopped printing them since 2016 claiming they serviced financial crime.

This is simply the agenda. I have explained the Russian cancelation of 1991. There they accomplished two things. First, they restricted the amount of old notes you could even redeem to 1,000 rubles. Second, the Russian currencies were throughout Eastern Europe and those states broke away. Hence, it was outright canceling the currency outside of Russia.

After they are finished with canceling all the currency, next will be to eliminate all cryptocurrencies. Then the Democrats are planning the same. They are intending to do this in 2022 marketing it as the filth rich are hoard cash. About US $1,000,000 in $100 bills weighs around 22.046 pounds (10 kilograms). So $10 million is over 220 pounds. It is easier to buy art, rare coins, stamps, cars, and real estate.

Spain Bans Combustion Engines by 2040 & All Old Cars by 2050


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted May 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Spanish parliament has passed an energy transition law to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. “As of today, Spain has a climate law on the basis of which it can resolutely build a green, sustainable, just future with prosperity for all,” said Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Thursday’s parliamentary vote on Twitter. A central point of the law is a ban on the sale of vehicles with climate-damaging internal combustion engines from 2040.

Worse still, all combustion engine cars will be banned from even driving after2050. By 2023 at the latest, all Spanish cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants must set up zones in which the traffic of particularly climate-damaging vehicles are restricted.

Spain’s greenhouse gas emissions are to be reduced by at least 23% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. To this end, the share of renewable energies in the country’s total energy supply is to increase to 42% by 2030 and to at least 74% in electricity production. The climate law that has now been passed is intended to ensure that Spain does its part to make the European Union CO2-neutral by 2050. Madrid had already committed itself to the EU in January 2020 with the aim of a 23% greenhouse gas reduction by 2030.

Meanwhile, the entire EU has raised the requirement from a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 40% by 2030, to 55%. However, the agreement has yet to be put into effect. For environmentalists, Spain’s new climate law doesn’t go far enough as they are demanding. Greenpeace has criticized this new law as “insufficient” for the fulfillment of the Paris Climate Protection Agreement. The Spanish Environment Minister Teresa Ribera spoke on Twitter of an “indispensable law to build on”. At the same time, she admitted that Spain should have passed such a law “ten years ago”.

Switzerland Cancels it Currency


Armstrong Economics Blog/Great Reset Re-Posted May 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I previously warned that Trudeau had a law passed as of January 1st, 2021 he can cancel the currency of Canada. Little by little, those countries who have joined Schwab’s World Economic Forum’s view that paper money must be eliminated and we must have only digital currency so everything is taxed. Now Switzerland, which has been the hedge in Europe against the euro, has without notice canceled its entire run of currency they call the 8th series which includes the 1,00SF note which has been perhaps the #1 large note used in hoarding.

The notes are NO LONGER legal tender and they are giving everyone until October 30th, to deposit them or lose 100%. Of course, moving for a one-world government headed by the UN, canceling all currency, and COVID lockdowns for a virus that may have been manmade, and a death ratio of just 0.028%, all of this is just a conspiracy theory if you try to connect any dots whatsoever. Our role in society is to play the fool. Just shut up, social distance for everyone is a threat with some disease, and stay in your home and just be ruled. Read the fake news and watch fake TV programs that are the new cancel culture. And, btw, have no children. Drink and get drunk is preferable. Responsibility may soon become a crime.

Fish Do Not Know They are in Water – Evidenced By Leftist Response to CDC Dropping Mask Mandate


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 14, 2021 | Sundance | 251 Comments

Over the past two weeks the common sense questioning of the CDC finally became too much. A larger portion of the American electorate woke up to the overall fraud perpetrated by the political operatives in control of the CDC as an institution.  One significant moment was a New York Times article that cited studies showing no evidence, not a single case, of COVID infection came from casual outdoor contact(s).  The leftist audience that reads the NYT responded like a cow had just randomly licked them on the forehead. Yes, it is true that fish do not know they are in water…

Soon after I read an article highlighting the view of people who bought into the fraud – now attempting to reconcile the complete and sudden 180º in narrative around masks.  At first I thought this was parody:

“There’s a glaring omission from this discussion about why people “can’t quit” pandemic behaviors: the mental and emotional toll of the last year. After what many have been through—death, grief, isolation, stress, anxiety, unemployment, trauma—people are going to have some feelings around transitioning back to a less cautious way of life.” (link)

Then I saw this segment from Rachael Maddow…. These folks really are unstable. WATCH:

John Spiropoulos Attends Orange County Rally Against Digital COVID Passports – YouTube Censors Video


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 14, 2021 | Sundance | 48 Comments

Friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos attended a freedom rally in Orange County, California, organized against the concept of COVID passports.  The rally included about 800 concerned patriots who see the effort of vaccination passports as an intrusion of privacy as well as a slippery slope of government demanding to see papers in order to engage in constitutional freedom.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Google banned the video within hours of upload from its YouTube platform {Story Here}.  It is quite alarming that a video documenting the rally itself would be deemed against the interests of the government and Big Tech.  However, John uploaded the video series to Rumble so that people could see the rally and support the effort.

As you can see from the video itself, John Spiropoulos merely documented the rally and comments from the attendees.  Apparently that was too much for Big Tech to allow on the YouTube (Google) platform.   It would appear the need for Big Tech to control the public bearing witness to the opposition is important to them.

There are more of us than them; they just control the communication mechanisms.

Anticipate Alinsky-styled Language “Insurrection Deniers” to be Main Element of Current Democrat Narrative


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 14, 2021 | Sundance | 229 Comments

Promoting the January 6th protest in Washington DC as a “domestic terrorist” event; and promoting the protest as an “armed insurrection” against the U.S. government; is the cornerstone of the Democrat’s 2022 election effort.   If we watch carefully now we will see an increased emphasis on attacking anyone who might downplay the Democrat narrative.

With their back against the wall on failing and catastrophic policy outcomes; with gas prices skyrocketing; and with the economy stalled due to inflation (ie. stagflation), the democrats are all-in with this “insurrection” narrative as a political tool to distract the voting population from merging crisis of bad policy.

If they do not control the politics of the national conversation the Democrats will be crushed in the 2022 mid-term election.  Ultimately their loss of control over the COVID narrative is what has led to the new CDC guidance about masks.  A false premise can only last as long as the reality can be ignored.  With more people awake to the fraud modifications need to be made.

The Democrats are counting on exploiting the false storyline around the Jan.6th protest.  They will work overdrive in the next few days to attack anyone who puts that narrative at risk.  Cue the example:

(The Hill) Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) on Friday began asking Democratic colleagues to sign on to a resolution to censure three House Republicans who tried this week to minimize the severity of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

In a letter to fellow House Democrats, Cicilline said that a resolution will be forthcoming to specifically censure Republican Reps. Andrew Clyde (Ga.), Jody Hice (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) for their remarks at a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on Wednesday downplaying and making false claims about the violent attack on the Capitol.

“These three members dangerously mischaracterized what happened that day and showed more sympathy for the domestic terrorists than the Capitol Police officers who died during the attack,” Cicilline wrote. (read more)

If Republicans were smart they would take this challenge head-on, and start framing the January 6th populist protests as an overreach by an out-of-touch federal government, who view the citizens as dangerous.   However, few republicans have the strength of conviction to stand in front of the entire media complex and push back.

The Democrats are using Liz Cheney, a woman willing to be used for this purpose, to advance that extremist narrative.  Notice how when President Trump noted the “Big Lie” was the fraudulent 2020 election, the Democrats became even more enraged.  Their rage is an outcome of their fear.

Their DNC playbook is very simple: control the language, define the opposition before they define themselves, and keep your political enemy on their heels.  It is the Alinsky model.  However, if the GOP hit back with the same articulated intensity the Democrat narrative would collapse despite the media support.  Unfortunately, the weakness of the GOP is their unwillingness to fight.

Thankfully the Republicans have Donald Trump to lead…

House Set To Introduce Bill Establishing Committee to Investigate January 6th Protests – Pelosi Organizes Politics of Commission to Assist Democrats 2022 Election


Posted originally on the conservative tree house May 14, 2021 | Sundance | 116 Comments

House Democrats have organized a bill [pdf here] that will create a commission to investigate the January 6th events in Washington DC.   The narrative is a 9/11-style commission to investigate the details, issues and circumstances of the January 6th “insurrection”; however, everyone with a lick of political common sense knows this commission will be used to further a Democrat narrative about ‘right-wing extremism’ in an effort to assist Democrats in the mid-term election.

WASHINGTON DC – […] The bill to establish the Jan. 6 commission could come to the floor “as soon as next week,” Pelosi announced Friday, noting that the panel is modeled after a bipartisan study of events leading up to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. That floor vote will likely be followed by the emergency funding bill, as Democrats hope to pass both before leaving for the Memorial Day recess. (more from Politico)

The narrative behind the Bill is constructed to frame the outcome as a ‘domestic terrorism event‘, setting the stage for Democrats to label any opposition to their agenda as “domestic extremists.”  This is a typical Alinsky maneuver.  The commission will be empowered to: “Issue subpoenas requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence relating to any matter which the Commission is empowered to investigate.”

The commission will also be permitted to use any/all aspects of the U.S. intelligence community to advance their investigation. “The Commission may secure directly from any Federal department or agency information, including any underlying information that may be in the possession of the intelligence community, that is necessary to enable it to carry out its purposes and functions under this Act.”  In other words, the House democrats will use their control to weaponize and shape the intelligence information for their political benefit.

Everyone can see what the real motive and intent of this commission really is.  It is simply a way for Democrats to exaggerate the details of the January 6th protest and cast their political opposition in the light of extremism.  Thus if you do not support democrats in the 2022 election you are an extremist.  The highly political FBI will be used as an institution to affirm this narrative construct.

Driving an extremist narrative has been the intent of the Democrats ever since they installed armed military and fencing around the Capitol.  The bill that carries the initiation of the 1/6 commission also funds a national guard presence and quick reaction force for the future.  This is all part of the continued objective to label political opposition as extremists.

Techno-Fog has a great article citing the expectations of the Commission as outlined in THE BILL: SEE HERE

[…] We cannot stress strongly enough the danger of such powers. The House Democrats – those who have leaked false intelligence to the press and lied to the public about the Carter Page FISA applications – will have access, via their appointees, to raw intelligence data. Their history shows they will not use this information responsibly.

All this just proves that the Commission will be their instrument to inflict massive political harm on the Right. Remember Pelosi’s occupation of the Capitol? (read more)

Netanyahu


Armstrong Economics Blog/Israel Re-Posted May 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Do you know Benjamin Netanyahu? What do you think of him?

EJ

ANSWER: I did meet him once in Washington a long-term ago. Probably more than 20 years ago. I do not recall other than simply a cordial greeting at some political affair. So yes I have met him, but I do not know him. Therefore, I am not qualified to offer a personal opinion. Perhaps we are all creatures of our own destiny. The first president I ever met and shook hands with was John F, Kennedy when he visited Willingboro, New Jersey when I was just a boy. But unlike Bill Clinton, who also shook his hand as a boy, I was not inspired to become president of the United States. Good thing. I do not have the patience for fools. That would not make a good politician.

One of my favorite quotes is that of Lord Byron:

“Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.”

The Heart of Jenin


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted May 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

There are people in this conflict who are just hateful on both sides. My point has been that underneath that surface which captures the headlines, lies the common people who prefer just to live not to hate. There was a documentary film in Europe about an incredible story between one Palestinian family and the wrongful death of their son who was just 12 years old.

The story is about Ahmed who was just a small boy playing with two friends who had a toy gun when he was killed by an Israeli soldier who mistook the toy for a real weapon. His father, Dad Ismael Khatib, agreed to donate Ahmed’s organs. As if divine intervention from above took place, the body was divided into parts as if decreed by Salomon himself. One kidney went to a Bedouin boy, one to an Orthodox Jewish girl, and the heart to a Druse child.

Most of the suicide bombers come from Jenin. The documentary, Heart of Jenin, follows this Palestinian father Khatib as he travels from the Occupied Territories to visit the organ recipients in Israel. Ahmed’s father could have easily been hateful and refused to allow any organs to be harvested. This is a story about the other side of humanity that exists hidden by the hateful headlines of this cancel culture which is inspiring even more hatred.
