Jan 6 Political Prisoners


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Sep 14, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

“THEY’RE NOT AFTER ME, THEY’RE AFTER YOU…I’M JUST STANDING IN THE WAY!” Donald Trump repeatedly stated. US intelligence agencies have managed to sniff out every single person who was involved in the January 6 protest. They tracked down over 1,100 people, labeled them terrorists, and imposed harsh sentences to show the public the consequences of questioning authority. Intelligence agencies could not produce one single name off of Jeffrey Epstein’s international client list, nor could they find the person who brought drugs into the White House. Simply put, intelligence agencies are simply tools of the Deep State to demolish the opposition.

The US legal system has issued the harshest penalties to those who entered the Capitol building. They did not commit a violent crime and no one was hurt. It is hard to say that they were even trespassing since there is footage of agents opening the doors and allowing the protestors inside. There is a reason the likes of Pelosi failed to call the Nation Guard and allowed the protestors to roam the building – it was an inside job.

Former Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio received the harshest sentence – 22 years in prison. Judge Timothy Kelly said that Tarrio attempted to block Joe Biden from receiving presidential powers, citing, “It can’t happen again.” Tarrio resides in Miami and was not present on January 6. “I am not a political zealot,” Tarrio said. “Inflicting harm or changing the results of the election was not my goal. Please show me mercy,” he said, adding, “I ask you that you not take my 40s from me.”

Rapists receive more lenient sentences. A military veteran by the name of Ethan Nordean received an 18 year sentence, which is less than the 27 year sentence the prosecutors wanted. In fact, most of the Proud Boys who were arrested have served in the US military. The entire ordeal has turned ordinary citizens into criminals.

These people are political prisoners. They were permitted to enter the building. There were FBI agents among the protestors. Ray Epps was filmed on video enticing the crowd to break into the Capitol the following day. His behavior was so questionable that the crowd began chanting, “Fed! Fed!” It was clear to them that he was not there to protest peacefully. On the day of the Capitol “siege,” Epps is filmed talking to another man before they began removing the barricades. The men began encouraging others to join them.

So now, the public is aware that the government will lock up anyone who tries to deny the results of the next election. Everyone is focusing on Trump’s charges, but they are also taking down anyone who does not believe Joe Biden secured over 80 million votes. Those who genuinely feel they lost their right to vote will be less likely to speak up the next time around. This message is particularly prominent this week as I repeatedly hear correspondents compare J6 to 9/11, an unbelievably insulting way to frame these events and a nod to how demonized the right has become.

White House Sends Media Instructions on How to Report About Congressional Impeachment Investigation


Posted originally on the CTH on September 13, 2023 | Sundance | 194 Comments

Can you even fathom the level of apoplexy that would have occurred if the executive branch under President Trump had dared to tell media how they must report on the impeachment process?   [READ LETTER HERE] The fact that the U.S. government would be issuing guidelines on how journalists must report on the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry is yet another example of how the Democrats in power control the media.

[Read Full Memo Here]

(Via CNN) – The White House sent a letter to top US news executives on Wednesday, urging them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans after Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, despite having found no evidence of a crime.

“It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies,” Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s Office, wrote in the letter, which was first obtained by CNN.

The letter, which said an impeachment inquiry with no supporting evidence should “set off alarm bells for news organizations,” was sent to executives helming the nation’s largest news organizations, including CNN, The New York Times, Fox News, the Associated Press, CBS News, and others, a White House official familiar with the matter said.

The White House giving instructions to the media only serves to make any media reporting look even more like “fake news.”  Then again, constructing chaos in order to perpetuate the goals of the radicals is a typical Alinsky play.

Create as much confusion as possible, label everything as disinformation, funnel all the voters to the places of MSM controlled review.  This appears to be the strategy.

RNC Lawyer Begins Contract Work on Background Effort to Disqualify Donald Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on September 13, 2023 | Sundance 

A baseline is important to frame the accurate context:

♦ Our government is controlled by corporations and financial interests who operate on an independent agenda, not in our interest. 

♦ The RNC and DNC are private clubs inside the U.S. political system, who construct the illusion of choice as directed by their benefactors (donors).

The benefactors/donors in both instances are the same entities.

This reality forms the core of the Uniparty agenda that we see surface every day in government policy that runs counter to the interests of U.S citizens and voters.  The two wings of the UniParty vulture are the RNC and DNC.  Any entity that exists outside the framework of the modern political industry, is considered a threat.

WASHINGTON POST – […] Jason Torchinsky, a partner with the Virginia law firm Holtzman Vogel, has in recent days initiated conversations about the idea of trying to disqualify Trump with a range of figures, including a Democratic secretary of state, fellow election lawyers and a retired federal judge who has helped lead the push to question Trump’s eligibility, according to multiple people familiar with the calls, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

[…] Torchinsky’s firm has done legal work for the campaigns of former New Jersey governor Chris Christie and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, as well as for Never Back Down, the political action committee promoting the presidential campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Torchinsky, a longtime GOP election lawyer who has also represented the Republican National Committee, is researching the issue not for Trump’s rivals but for Jacob Harriman, the founder of a nonpartisan service organization called More Perfect Union, Harriman said in a statement to The Washington Post.

“It is critical to understand if there is a legitimate risk of nominating a candidate who could be deemed to be ineligible for office,” Harriman said. Torchinsky declined to comment. (read more

We The People are in an abusive relationship with government and the party system used to retain control and power.  Once we accept that a disparate political structure exists above the election systems, a structure that runs the election systems through party/club rules, then we can begin to address how corrupt the illusion of choice has become.

In the biggest of big pictures, seeing this reality clearly is the gift from the era of Trump.

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.

TRACK RECORD

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.”

Senior Citizen of the Silent Generation Seeks 20th Term


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 12, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Most of the people in charge of the US are too old to function. Nancy Pelosi announced that she plans to seek re-election to the House of Representative in 2024. This would be Pelosi’s TWENTIETH term. The top insider trader in the nation has done absolutely nothing during her time in politics. So why should she be allowed to run again?

“Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery. Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote,” Pelosi posted on X. The city has become uninhabitable under Democrat control and Pelosi herself asked staff to work from home, citing safety concerns. There are eight members of Congress who are actually older than Pelosi. Surprisingly, she is expected to win.

Dianne Feinstein is 90 years old and barely alive. She remains in the Senate despite granting her daughter legal power of attorney. Feinstein does not trust herself to manage her own finances, but she is willing to cling to power/life and feels fit to vote on the most important decisions the leading global economy. She even sued the trustees of her late husband’s estate for elder abuse for withholding finances. But those in power would rather die in politics than relinquish power. It is actually part of the strategy.

Hillary Clinton told Time that she does not think Diane Feinstein should resign simply because her seat could go to a Republican. “Here’s the dilemma: the Republicans will not agree to add someone else to the Judiciary Committee if she retires,” Clinton admitted. “I want you to think about how crummy that is. I don’t know in her heart about whether she really would or wouldn’t, but right now, she can’t. Because if we’re going to get judges confirmed, which is one of the most important continuing obligations that we have, then we cannot afford to have her seat vacant.” This came after Feinstein took a three-month leave due to her failing health.

Taking it a step forward, Clinton thinks the Republicans should swap out the elderly as an act of kindness. “If Republicans were to say and do the decent thing and say, well this woman was gravely ill, she had just lost her husband to cancer… of course we will let you fill this position if she retires. But they won’t say that. So what are we supposed to do? All these people pushing her to retire: fine, we get no more judges? I don’t think that’s a good tradeoff.” A good tradeoff?

And yet, Clinton was quick to question Biden’s age ahead of the election. Her dream of sitting in the Oval Office without her husband will never die. These politicians do not have the best interest of the people at heart. It is all a big petty game that the people always lose.

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.

Glenn Beck Interviews Former ATF Strike Force Member, John Dodson – “You Cannot Trust Your Government”


Posted originally on the CTH on September 10, 2023 | Sundance 

What John Dodson outlines in this interview with Glenn Beck is strikingly similar to a long two-day conversation I had in Washington DC in the summer of 2020, as I outlined in “The Fourth Branch of Government.”

The statement by Dodson: “it is one thing to know what your government is capable of doing… It is another thing entirely to know what your government is willing to do to keep their capability”… is almost identical to the jaw-dropping shift in perspective that I also encountered in DC.

On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Podcast,” Glenn talks with John Dodson, the whistleblower who revealed the ATF “gunwalking” scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious that led to the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. John’s decision to speak up was extremely risky, and he tells Glenn why he was afraid to start his car every morning after his family left. John also talks about the chilling reality of what’s happening at the southern border. Why hasn’t the illegal immigration problem been solved? John jokes that “the Mexican drug cartels must be huge donors to the Democratic Party.” They also talk about the war in Ukraine and the dubious Nord Stream bombing. John’s expertise in Soviet war tactics leads him to believe that something just isn’t right. Yet nobody seems to be concerned about the obvious corruption. But it’s not just overseas. The CIA playbook is alive and at work — on American soil. Having done extensive undercover work in crowds, John saw all the signs in place on January 6: “If there’s a crowd, there are agents in it,” he reveals. And will the government ever solve the mystery of the pipe bomber? After having served in law enforcement for more than three decades, John reveals the truth about the powerful new role of the state: “Your government is not here to serve you any more.”
