The 2022 Elections


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jul 30, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

In the USA, there are two upcoming regularly scheduled elections for governor where the Democrats may lose. In New Jersey, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy is seeking a second term, and in Virginia, Democrat Ralph Northam faces the state’s unique one-consecutive-term limit on governors. Then there is yet a third race in California, which is the recall election of Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom.

Meanwhile, the Democrats, who have barely a 50.4% majority, yet act like dictators with a 100% mandate, know they are in big trouble. The Republicans only need one more seat in the Senate, and Biden’s agenda fails. Clearly, looking ahead to next year, that means every Senate race really matters. The Democrats are eager to launch an attack to gain more seats and their blocking of election audits is not helping the level of confidence that is so vital to maintaining the nation.

The Democrats’ best opportunity to gain one more seat has been focused on Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, a Republican, is not running for reelection, which means it’s up to the GOP to hold this seat without him. The Democrats are looking to take seats in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, and Wisconsin. The Republicans have their eyes on Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and New Hampshire.

There are rumors that various heads of state realize that they would be voted out of office. There is serious discussion about “suspending” all elections as long as a “pandemic” exists. I reported in June that an actual bill was submitted in Canada calling for precisely that — the end of democracy using COVID as the excuse. This dark period we are entering seems to be laced with not just civil unrest in Europe, but important elections. Germany could be in for a serious wake-up call. Right now, the polls in Germany still claim that Merkel’s party is ahead (CDU) with 28%. That is followed by the Greens 18%, FDP 12%, AfD 11%, and LINKE 7%.

In France, there were elections in June, and Macron’s La République En Marche won only 10.9% of the votes while the far-right National Rally, led by Le Pen, won 19.1%. The right-wing party Les Republicains took 29.3% of the vote, while an unprecedented 68% of the population didn’t bother to vote. This is clearly a warning to Macron that he is lucky this is not the old days with an approval rating of that low. Even Loui XVI, who was beheaded, had a higher approval rating than Macron.With Panic Cycles appearing in 2022 for our election models, this is clearly not just a domestic issue. The last time this took place FDR was elected, but so was Hitler.

Canada is 100% on Board with Schwab’s Biodigital Program


Armstrong Economics Blog/Bio Technology Re-Posted Jul 29, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

All the pretend fact-checkers call it a conspiracy theory that Schwab wants to alter humanity and create trans-human species. Yet, here we have the government of Canada openly admitting that they are moving toward a biodigital world where they boldly state that this will progress to influence us to “even evolve as a species.”

“In the coming years, biodigital technologies could be woven into our lives in the way that digital technologies are now. Biological and digital systems are converging, and could change the way we work, live, and even evolve as a species.

Perhaps Schwab’s dream is to keep manufacturing body parts so he can live forever. To me, this is beyond a conspiracy theory. This is the work of a sick demented mind.

WIKIPEDIA (Fake News)

Criticism

Starting in the Fall of 2020, online rumor spread that Klaus Schwab led a “Great Reset conspiracy”, “including the notion that a group of elites are working to undermine national sovereignty and individual freedoms, references to a “New World Order,” and the idea that these malicious actors will seek to exploit a catastrophic incident—like a global pandemic—to advance their agenda”.[24] The conspiracy theory was labelled as “false” in fact-check articles, including by Reuters,[25] BBC[26] and AFP,[27] but persisted online. In March 2021, the Magyar Nemzet, a Hungarian online outlet, published a critique of Schwab’s “Great Reset”. The author of the opinion article alleged that Schwab advocated a “new ‘transhumanist’ world order” under ‘transnational governance’ and that “WEF leadership” “want to replace democracy with complex governance, prioritize technocracy over elections and MPs, and emphasize ‘expertise’ that the general public doesn’t understand instead of transparency.” The author termed all of this “Davos-era neocommunism”.[28] Many of the claims in the article were later debunked.[29][30]

Australian Police Are Becoming the Symbol of Tyranny


Armstrong Economics Blog/Australia & Oceania Re-Posted Jul 29, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The rising discontent in Australia is shocking the world. As I have said, other nations invaded Iraq for abusing their citizens. Who will come to the rescue of Australians? The Australian police are violating international human rights, and the display of their brutality, some say, is reaching that of what they accuse China of these days. Coronavirus tyranny is the excuse to destroy the economy and build back better because the Socialistic system can no longer be supported. Full lockdowns have been imposed without justification. The government is no longer even bothering to pretend there are massive waves of deaths. The Australian government is no longer a free government, and all they can do in the future is suspend elections, for who in their right mind would vote for such tyranny?

Our models on the Australian dollar warn that a breach of the 7005 levels on a monthly closing basis will signal serious events ahead. The police are using COVID simply for social control because the government knows it is fundamentally on the brink of economic disaster.

Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward Gives an Update on The Maricopa County Ballot Audit, While DOJ Publicizes 7-Page Audit Warning Memo


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 28, 2021 | Sundance | 77 Comments

Arizona Republican Chairwoman Kelli Ward provides an update on the Maricopa County ballot audit and the new subpoenas sent by the state senate to county election officials who are refusing to comply voluntarily with requests for information.

The second hand count of the raw ballot totals was completed earlier today. Mrs. Ward walks through the content of the subpoenas and the purpose for them.

At the same time Arizona is wrapping up the ballot counting phase, it appears the Lawfare group is writing legal guidance on behalf of the DOJ. A seven page memo, with no official legal standing, was released today by the DOJ in an effort to intimidate any state or local officials who are conducting audits. The memo [view pdf here] looks like it was generated from within the “beach friend” community of Lawfare, the assembly of former DOJ members who are rabid political ideologues.

(Politico) – […] “While the Biden administration “guidance” document carries no formal legal weight and may not strike fear into local officials, the Justice Department used the release of the legal analysis to press their campaign of saber-rattling against Republican-led audits of the 2020 vote in Arizona and other states, as well as voting changes many GOP-controlled states are pursuing as part of purported anti-fraud efforts.” (read more)

Notice “guidance document” & “legal analysis”, which are political code-words to describe the Lawfare group writing their collective advice into a memo and the DOJ presenting it to allied media in an effort to give it some enhanced credibility.

Biden Motorcade Greeted by Jeers and Middle Finger Salutes Arriving in Pennsylvania, VIDEO


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 28, 2021 | Sundance | 242 Comments

The people of Pennsylvania showed up to greet the installed occupant of the White House, Joe Biden, upon his arrival in Pennsylvania – which he calls his home state.  The illegitimate office holder was scheduled to speak at Mack Truck Plant in Macungie, Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately for those who are attempting to manage the White House, the jeers, boos and middle finger salutes from the crowd was not exactly what they were looking for.  WATCH:

Again I repeat, there is not a single visible data-point, outside of MSM narrative engineering, that would indicate support -of any significant scale- for the installed current occupant of the Oval Office.

Few American people watch his speeches. Even fewer people attend his events; and almost all quantifiable engagement -on every platform- reflects exactly the opposite of what the media and big tech narrative engineers keep trying to sell.  The propaganda is remarkable when contrast against the reality.

Oh My, Something About That New York Times Journalist Who Recently Called Trump Supporters “Enemies of The State”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 28, 2021 | Sundance | 336 Comments

Katie Benner sounds like an American girl next door right?  Alas, a little digging below the surface reveals something rather specific about the New York Times journalist.

Ms. Katie Benner made headlines yesterday by tweeting: “Today’s #January6thSelectCommittee underscores the America’s current, essential natsec dilemma: Work to combat legitimate national security threats now entails calling a politician’s supporters enemies of the state,” the previously little-known Benner wrote.

Perhaps the purposeful avatar knocked people off the trail.  Yes, the statement is jaw-dropping from a New York Times journalist who is openly calling Trump supporters “enemies of the state,” a tweet she soon deleted once the sunlight poured in.

Perhaps her NYT editors influenced the decision to delete the comments; or, well, perhaps the real people behind Ms. Benner noted she had gone a little too far – this time.

As it turns out, Ms. Benner is not quite what she appears…. not even close.

Katie Benner (pictured left) used to write freelance for the Beijing Review, China’s only National news magazine in English, published by the Chinese Communist Party-owned China International Publishing Group.

Benner joined the New York Times in 2015 after her initial work at the communist propaganda outlet. {NYT CITATION}

NEW YORK TIMES – […] “Katie Benner of Bloomberg joining The Times as a technology reporter.  She’s covered Wall Street and Silicon Valley. She’s been a magazine writer and a columnist. Early in her career she wrote for Beijing Review, and since last fall, she has been based in San Francisco for Bloomberg View. (2015, link)

The CCP-controlled Beijing Review was designated by the U.S. State Department in 2020 as a “foreign mission” of China {Citation}. Emphasis mine:

STATE DEPT ARCHIVE – […] “Pursuant to authorities under the Foreign Missions Act, the State Department is issuing today a new determination that designates the U.S. operations of Yicai Global, Jiefang Daily, Xinmin Evening News, Social Sciences in China Press, Beijing Review, and Economic Daily as foreign missions. These six entities all meet the definition of a foreign mission under the Foreign Missions Act in that they are “substantially owned or effectively controlled” by a foreign government. In this case, they are effectively controlled by the government of the People’s Republic of China”. (link)

So Ms. Benner was an operative, an embed, of the Chinese Communist Party propaganda machine.  As the New York Times noted when they hired her: “When she lived in Beijing, she wrote about “everything from monks to music,” she says“; that point underscores that Ms. Benner was a young adult, pursuing a journalist career, living in communist China.

Departing Beijing and landing in San Francisco (fall of 2014), Katie Benner embedded into MSM via Bloomberg as a technology reporter.  Then, she jumped over to the New York Times (June 2015), again focusing on the Tech sector…. and then for some unknown reason, the tech expertise was dropped, and she took on a new role reporting on U.S. Department of Justice issues.  {Insert Suspicious Cat Here}….

The most recent article she wrote about, July 24th, just coincidentally happens to focus on the Joe Biden administration dropping charges against Chinese “researchers” (ie. spies) operating in the U.S. and hiding their connections to the Chinese military.  Huh, go figure:

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department moved this week to drop cases that it brought last year against five visiting researchers accused of hiding their ties to China’s military, prompting questions about the department’s efforts to combat Chinese national security threats. (link)

Let me go out on a short-limb here, and say Ms. Benner is likely using her contacts within the DOJ to evaluate the risk to other Chinese agents distributed throughout the United States, and then she reports that risk back to her real handlers in Beijing.

SUMMARY – Ms. Katie Benner appears to be a Chinese Communist Party operative who worked through the U.S. media system as a journalist, eventually into the New York Times, weaving her way through the organization to a place where she focuses on national security issues within the DOJ…. and then, unfortunately for her CCP handlers, Ms. Benner triggered her CCP tradecraft motivation a little too openly on Twitter and did not clear the blast zone.

Any questions?

Pelosi’s Political Prisoners- Anyone who supports Trump

Imagine being whisked off a city street in broad daylight, thrown into a waiting car and then driven to an ominous prison. You are stripped searched and your belongings, including your shoelaces and belt, are confiscated. Without explanation you are tossed into cell crowded with other prisoners. Then, without being charged, you are marched before an interrogator who asks you to sign a form that states you are an anti-State terrorist. If you do not sign, he beats you until you do.

This was a routine occurrence at the Lubyanka Prison in Moscow during Stalin’s years of purges. Some prisoners were shot in the back of the head. Others drew very long sentences in the gulag system.

Don’t think that can’t come to America? Sure it can. The foundations are already being set.

The security agencies have been politicized. They are eager to set up and encourage crimes so they can round up those who resist the Democrats’ quest for permanent power.

Meanwhile, those who are connected with the upper echelons of Commiecratic power can do as they please. They won’t be arrested. Swalwell can sleep with a communist spy from China and brag about it as he sits on the Intelligence Committee. Biden can use his son to collect graft. Biden took an oath to protect our borders. Instead he leaves them wide open and even uses the military to fly them to locations across the country. That’s criminal. That’s treason. Nothing happens. Hillary can conduct pay for play in plain sight. She’s not locked up. A presidential election is stolen in plain sight, but Biden’s regime remains in power. When Lenin and his Bolshevik Party were soundly defeated in a free election they simply used force and took over. That’s what the Marxists Democrats did.

Communists are obsessed with stamping out any political competition. The Marxist Democrats and RINO Republicans, led by Pelosi, are  determined to stamp out all vestiges of Trumpism. Pelosi is consumed by hatred and her desire for revenge.

They’ve already locked up many of Trump’s supporters who had the temerity to walk into the capitol and protest a stolen election. Pelosi and the FBI made sure the capitol doors stayed open. I’ve read that some Trump supporters have been mistreated while in prison. One received an outrageously long sentence while those burning and looting our cities last summer were immediately released if they were even arrested.

Trump supporters are now being called ‘terrorists’ by the Marxist Democrats. If tyranny comes, can gulags be far behind?

Australian Police Commissioner Mick Fuller Violates International Human Rights


Armstrong Economics Blog/Australia & Oceania Re-Posted Jul 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

New South Wales Police Commissioner Mick Fuller has officially become a violator of international human rights, and under international law, he should be arrested and prosecuted. Fuller has warned anyone organizing or planning to attend a second COVID lockdown protest in Sydney that “you will be arrested.” There is nothing legal about what he is ordering the police to do and following his orders is no different than the Nazis pretending what they were doing was legal simply because they were ordered to do so. Fuller is destroying Australia as a free country, pushing it into the clutches of the evolving totalitarian regime being created quietly behind the curtain as inspired by the World Economic Forum.

Fuller has become so anti-human rights that he is labeling COVID protestors as anarchists as if that somehow justifies imprisoning people and abusing international human rights. The NSW police are violating every possible principle of a free government and this is the very excuse the West used to invade Iraq and Syria because their respective governments were abusing the accord on international human rights. This is an extremely dangerous position for the police to take. History warns that such people are the very types who inspire revolutions.  Revolution will come. Our computer is very clear on that. Our present form of representative governments around the world will collapse, for they no longer represent the people. Fuller is condemning his own family to tyranny and he and his police force will forever be seen as the evil tyrants by history. Just because a politician decrees something does NOT make it legal, ethical, or morally correct.

The NSW police have become so ruthless, they have no problem subjecting people to experimental vaccines that are not working. Israel is reporting that the Pfizer vaccine is now down to only 39% effective against the Delta variant. We have to wonder why the police are like the Nazis of World War II with the same identical excuse — I am just following orders! This implies they are incapable of actual free thinking.  Scott Morrison changed his position from treating COVID as the flu to a lethal disease that justified destroying the economy. It has been suggested that he is taking his marching order from the World Economic Forum, and this change now justifies Fuller to violate international human rights.

This video is already circulating about the Australian government and how they are violating every international principle of human rights. Obviously, Australia is certainly not a country to visit on vacation anymore. It was once upon a time, a place I often thought I would like to retire to. I loved Australia. Spent a lot of time there. Went into Kakadu and Ayers Rock. I even have paintings by Australian artists to remind me of how beautiful it was.

Member of Parliament Comes Out of the Closet – Lockdowns Are for Social Control


Armstrong Economics Blog/Lock Down Re-Posted Jul 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

In Britain, Graham Brady, Chairman of the Tory 1922 Committee and member of Parliament, has written an op-ed for the Daily Mail where he made it very clear that the purpose of the lockdowns is to impose social control — not to reduce COVID. He has pointed out that this is approaching what is known as Stockholm Syndrome, where the greater the control to which people are subjected, the greater the dependence people develop.

I have been warning about this because this is the precise talk behind the curtain. Brady has the courage to come out, and the Daily Mail has the courage to let him speak. For months, there are those in various governments who KNOW what is really going on but have been afraid to come out and speak.

This new period of a dark era that our computer has been projecting for August-October 2021 is shaping up as an all-out assault on the UNVACCINATED. This is likely to result in a continued rise in civil unrest, and it is becoming a real battle for freedom. Pension funds need 8% to break even generally. The problem with those in government is that they are COMPLETELY incompetent to manage the economy, no less intervening in it to stabilize anything. By lowering interest rates to NEGATIVE in 2014 in Europe, they NEVER considered that under their Socialist policies, pension funds are mandated to buy government bonds. They have recently wiped out pension funds and know they are on the brink of financial disaster, for the ECB cannot raise interest rates either without blowing up the member state budgets. They never see that lowering interest rates to negative will have a ripple effect throughout everything else.

Schwab is preaching to destroy capitalism as we know it and “BUILD BACK BETTER,” which means you first have to destroy it in order to build it back better. Because of this view of climate change, they want to end commuting to work and imprison us in our homes — hence lockdowns.

Anyone who dares to connect the dots is labeled “conspiracy theorist,” so they NEVER have to address the issue. All of these events are just coincidental, and there is, according to mainstream media, absolutely no connection and no agenda. The New York Times even declared the “Great Rest” was a conspiracy theory. The mainstream media is promoting the destruction of capitalism and our way of life. They have already made that judgment. The comedian Bill Burr calls CNN the “America-hating blowhards,” for they have become so against the people it is mindblowing.

Once upon a time, I had tremendous respect for the London Financial Times. They have totally forgotten who their audience is and have called for the end of capitalism by joining Schwab. But hey, anyone who dares to point these connections out is a low-life conspiracy theorist, which seems to be becoming a badge of honor.

Housing Market – This Time it is Different


Armstrong Economics Blog/Real Estate Re-Posted Jul 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Housing prices have surged at rates not seen since the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis, according to global data. This has led to questions of whether the housing market is in a bubble that could burst. However, there is one thing that is very clear. This is an entirely different run-up than the 2007-2009 debacle. A friend sold a house here in 1 hour. The buyer sold their house in Virginia and they have been living in a rental. Most people buying property in Florida are from out of state (about 8 out of 10). What is different is that most deals are for CASH!

In addition, mortgage rates have declined BECAUSE serious money is more interested in lending into well collateralized real estate than government bonds. This is part of the shift from PUBLIC to PRIVATE assets.

With Biden looking to raise corporate taxes sharply next year, and the rising threat of moving to a national cryptocurrency, people are simply looking to plow money into private assets. Then there is Blackrock buying over 20,000 houses in Florida for renting purposes. Keep in mind that Laurence Fink Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BlackRock, USA, is also a board member of the World Economic Forum, which has raised deep concerns that he is fulfilling Schwab’s 2030 agenda — You’ll Own Nothing. And You’ll Be Happy!
