Trudeau Considers Additional Housing Tax
Posted originally on Jul 11, 2024 By Martin Armstrong
Inefficient politicians consistently cite additional taxation as the solution to their nation’s economic troubles. The housing crisis in Canada is has spread to every province. Instead of addressing availability, the disproportionate demand brought on by multiplying the nation with migrants, or any of the countless fiscal policies that have contributed to inflation, the Canadian government believes it is the duty of citizens to subsidize their wealth as a temporary solution.
The Trudeau Administration has been trying to paint the housing crisis as a conflict between the social-economic classes. All those greedy citizens who saved for homes are preventing new homeowners from entering the market. Trudeau basically said this when appearing on the podcast Generation Squeeze, an organization that is pushing to add an annual surtax on homes over C$1 million. They believe houses between C$1 million to C$1.5 million, even if a primary residence, should face a 0.2% surtax that would eventually rise to 0.5%. Homes over C$2 million would face a 1% surtax.
What about older Canadians who have been residing in their family homes for decades? They may not necessarily be rich but they purchased when the landscape was different. Trudeau said those who “scrimped and saved” simply fail to understand that the younger generation can no longer do the same due to the economic environment he helped to create.
“GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS DON’T BUILD HOMES!” – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre
I mentioned in a separate post that 13.5% of young Canadians under 24 cannot find entry-level work. Unemployment is on the rise and young people cannot afford to save what little they have. All Canadians are feeling the constraints of inflation, with household debt rising to over 100% of GDP and the debt service ratio surpassing 15.22%. People are paying for the luxury of even having debt.
This thoughtless plan does not count for the fact that home prices are continuing to rise. C$1 million may sound high, but the average home in British Columbia is around C$965,447, with those in Ontario facing an average price of C$853,915. The average home cost around C$657,145 across all provinces in 2023, but that average was only C$391,820 just 10 years ago. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) believes the average home will reach C$$746,410 by next year.
This is not a tax on the wealthy, though that would not be a solution, rather, this is a tax on hardworking Canadians who are struggling to maintain what they have left. This tax is in addition to the countless other grabs that the government is expecting from homeowners. There are federal initiatives that currently spend billions on new construction, such as the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund, which spent C$6 billion toward new construction. What’s the point of increasing the supply when you’re increasing the overall population more rapidly? Trudeau did not offer ANY other solution during his interview because he had none to offer.
Left in France Adopts Biden’s Tactics – Criminally Charging LePen
Posted originally on Jul 11, 2024 By Martin Armstrong
POLITICO has reported that the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed that they have launched a criminal investigation after a preliminary inquiry. The investigation has targeted Marine Le Pen’s previous presidential bid in 2022 with allegations of embezzlement, forgery, fraud, and a candidate on an election campaign accepting a loan. It is curious that such criminal prosecution of candidates are always by the LEFT against the RIGHT.
Brazil’s federal police recommended that former President Jair Bolsonaro be criminally charged in a scheme to embezzle jewelry he received as gifts from foreign leaders while president, according to two people close to the investigation, adding another major legal challenge for Mr. Bolsonaro.
Bill and Hillary Clinton took furniture from the White House in 2001. The Clintons actually returned more than $28,000 worth of items, which, they said, they “thought were personal gifts given to them and not to the White House.”
CBS reported: “The server Clinton used as secretary of state contained “several dozen emails containing classified information determined by the [intelligence community] element to be at the CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, and TOP SECRET/SAP levels,” the inspector general, Charles McCullough, wrote in the letter, which was first reported by Fox News.”
Between taking government furniture and then returning it, establishing it was government property, not theirs, and then adding the classified documents on a private server for which the RIGHT did not criminally prosecute Hillary as the LEFT has done to Trump over the same issue.
Well Done!
This is the way to destroy civilization and create tyranny, as the LEFT will always go to extremes, for at the core of their philosophies lies the fact that they cannot tolerate freedom for people to do things that they object to.
We are witnessing the weaponization of the rule of law for political purposes on a global scale. That is destroying world civilization. This is intimidating people to stay away, for they will only be criminally prosecuted on allegations that once made, the press will pronounce them guilty without a trial or due process of law. The mere allegation is good enough to destroy anyone who dares to challenge the LEFT. This is what 2032 is all about. We are witnessing the complete destruction of Western Society at the most fundamental level. When you destroy the rule of law, everything crumbles to dust before your eyes. The very meaning of “civilization” is we settle disputes in a civilized manner. Tear down this foundation, and all that is left is UNCIVILIZED behavior, including revolutions
The Clinton-Harris Ticket
Posted originally on Jul 11, 2024 By Martin Armstrong
Polls are already asking voters whether they would support Hillary Clinton as president. Even international news outlets are posting this information. When did Hillary suddenly enter the race?
Democratic firm Bendixen & Amandi conducted a poll to see how the public would respond to a Clinton presidency. Of the 86% of respondents who watched the disastrous Trump-Biden debate, only 29% believe Biden is mentally fit to serve a second term. I suppose the state of the world was not enough to sway voters until they saw him on stage. Still, 33% of them believe Biden should still be the nominee, while 52% want him to step down to make room for a new candidate.
And who do the people want to fill Biden’s shoes? “Clinton-Harris is in the strongest position among potential Democratic tickets tested, showing a clear edge over the Biden-Harris pairing,” one of the surveyors stated. The only goal the Democrats have right now is to defeat Trump. Trump was still leading in this poll, likely biased, but only by a single percentage point (43% Trump v 41% Biden). When they asked respondents how they felt about a Clinton-Harris ticket, support for the Democrats rose to 43% compared to only 41% for Trump.
Most articles claim Clinton is not “seriously considering” a presidential run; all of this is speculation. Yet, Clinton has been heavily involved in politics, appearing to rebuke every Trump appearance. She has even begun producing merchandise sponsored through her Super PAC. The media is beginning to test the water to see how the public will respond when they switch out Joe for Hillary.

Elon Musk Partners with World Economic Forum
Posted Jul 8, 2024 By Martin Armstrong
I like Elon Musk for his innovative mind and willingness to speak out against the establishment. Is he part of the controlled opposition? I did not believe it to be true until his recent dealing with the World Economic Forum. Musk himself deemed the ESG policies of the WEF to be “satanic” only one year ago, but now, he has appointed a WEF board member to act as CEO of X.
X (formerly Twitter) is now part of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM). The World Economic Forum states on its website that GARM will help the 3.8 BILLION internet users to sort through real vs fake news through censorship, taking on the role of judge and juror. “Together, [GARM] is collaborating with publishers and platforms to go more to address harmful and misleading media environments; and to develop and deliver against a concrete set of actions, processes and protocols for protecting brands,” the website notes.
Is this purely business? Ad revenue on X has decreased by half since Elon’s acquisition. X has been accused of allowing hate speech on disinformation to reach its 250 million daily active users. Its userbase has not increased in a meaningful way since Elon’s takeover in November 2022, far undermining Musk’s goal of 600 million daily active users by 2025.
X was one of the last social media platforms that did not censor its articles and it had become the number one social media platform used by world leaders to share messages instantaneously. TikTok now seems to be the final frontier for free speech, but the ban is pending, and many wrongly believe China is using it to collect user data. The globalists have ruined the internet, which was once an incredible medium for connecting people and ideas globally. One of my recent interviews with Palisades radio was removed from YouTube for “disinformation” regarding COVID-19, despite the fact that I was speaking from well-sourced content. The establishment does not want us to share the TRUTH. Free speech has been banned from cyberspace.
The Communists and Socialists Have Won the French Election – The Prime Minister Immediately Resigns
Posted originally on the CTH on July 7, 2024 | Sundance
We knew it was going to happen this way, that’s why CTH didn’t join in the initial celebration when French President Emmanuel Macron announced the snap election. France is ground zero in the EU for U.S. interference via the U.S State Dept/CIA operations. Macron is a tool of the far left, who are controlled by the intelligence apparatchik.
When the first round was over, CTH said, “Macron will instruct his centrist seats, who lost, to organize their votes for the far-left socialists, thereby blocking the National Rally party from gaining a working majority. Just like the radical leftists in the USA (Democrats), Macron’s followers will do exactly what they are told to do.” {LINK} Well, that’s exactly what happened.
When the Macron coalition started resigning to support the communists, CTH again said, “For this second round of the election, President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Gabriel Attal have organized 210 candidate exits.” … “All of the opposition research files on the Marine Le Pen supported nationalist candidates are being dropped in advance of the Sunday election, in an effort to stop the conservative French from achieving victory. These are all direct plays from the revolutionary communist playbook.” {LINK} Well, again, that’s exactly what happened.
Now, here’s the results of the second-round vote today. The coalition of communists and far-left socialists have won.
(VIA AP) – The first projections in the 2024 French legislative election say leftists have won most seats. The surprise projections put President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance in second and the far right in third.
[…] French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal says he will resign. This comes after projections show a leftist coalition has surged to the lead in legislative elections. Final election results are expected on Monday.
[…] They had just days to come together. The leaders of France’s left-wing parties have acknowledged they made compromises to unite in an effort to keep the far-right National Rally party from taking power in France.
The coalition calls itself the New Popular Front, named after a similar coalition formed in the 1930s against the rise of fascism in France. It includes environmentalist parties, the French Socialists and Communists and the hard-left France Unbowed party. (read more)
As anticipated…. “It really is remarkable to watch the similarities between left-wing politics in the USA and left-wing politics in France. Historically, and in actual practice, we see this similarity as history rhymes and repeats. In both instances, you will note how the “mainstream” Democrats align with the communists to stop the majority of commonsense patriots.
In the USA, Democrats enjoy the activity of their foot soldiers in Antifa (Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, or RevCom etc.) In France, the Democrats (NPF), within Macron’s camp, enjoy the activity of Black Bloc (the EU Antifa socialists and communists).
Now, watch what will happen with the socialists/communists in charge. This is what those new majorities previously pledged they would do:
(Via Bloomberg) – France’s leftist alliance would raise the top marginal income tax rate to 90% if it were to take over the government following legislative elections that run through July 7.
Eric Coquerel provided the figure in an interview in Cnews television, saying that the New Popular Front’s proposal would pass muster with French courts and wouldn’t be considered confiscatory because it would only have an impact on the highest portion of a taxpayer’s income.
While Coquerel, who presided over the finance committee at the National Assembly before its dissolution on June 9, didn’t specify the level at which the 90% rate would apply, the plan was previously in the program of his far-left France Unbowed party. In a budget amendment proposed in 2019, the top rate would apply on taxable income over €411,683 ($440,213).
The income tax rate in France currently tops out at 45% on income over €177,106. (more)
To stop the commonsense, pragmatic and ordinary patriotic French people from having a voice. The centrists in the French government have now given the majority of their legislature to the communists and socialists.
Also, as we predicted:
“The Nationalists will act flummoxed, stunned, jaw-agape, just like good little French Republicans. The French people will wonder what happened just like American conservatives. Wash – Rinse- Repeat.
Watch.
Ukraine: NYT Outlines American-Led Mercenary Group Killing Russian POWs, Zelenskyy Outlines Russian Troop Advancements
Posted originally on the CTH on July 7, 2024 | Sundance
It’s odd how no one in the American media seems to ask how Obama and Biden went from a friendly “reset” with Russia in 2009 to full geopolitical antagonism in 2011.
♦ What exactly led to the complete reversal of intent?
I digress…. However, having some deeper understanding of the current status of the conflict, I also find it curious how the New York Tims can just seemingly bury the lead in their story about how U.S-led military “mercenary” soldiers are on the ground fighting, while seemingly forgetting their prior outline about how the CIA was conducting all the military operations in the same area. Not funny, that.
“In Ukraine, Killings of Surrendering Russians Divide an American-Led Unit” – […] Hours after a battle in eastern Ukraine in August, a wounded and unarmed Russian soldier crawled through a nearly destroyed trench, seeking help from his captors, a unit of international volunteers led by an American.
Caspar Grosse, a German medic in that unit, said he saw the soldier plead for medical attention in a mix of broken English and Russian. It was dusk. A team member looked for bandages.
That is when, Mr. Grosse said, a fellow soldier hobbled over and fired his weapon into the Russian soldier’s torso. He slumped, still breathing. Another soldier fired — “just shot him in the head,” Mr. Grosse recalled in an interview.
Mr. Grosse said he was so upset by the episode that he confronted his commander. He said he spoke to The New York Times after what he regarded as unwarranted killings continued. It is highly unusual for a soldier to speak publicly about battlefield conduct, particularly involving men whom he still considers friends. (read more)
This type of ground report follows a pattern created by an incurious international media. There’s a reason why the State Dept and CIA control the narratives delivered by western stenographers. Meanwhile, the U.S. taxpayers are the ones funding the payroll for the “official” and “unofficial conflict.
If you don’t think Vladimir Putin is very well aware that he is fighting Americans in the USA proxy province called Ukraine, then you are infected with the current strain of pretending that has seemingly swept the west.
Russian President Vladimir Putin knows he is not fighting a Zelenskyy led Ukraine military operation. Spend some time in the forbidden zone and you will quickly learn that Russia is very clear-eyed about how USA forces are the proverbial unofficial boots on the ground, and they have been for years – long before Russia “invaded” their eastern neighbor.
KYIV — Ukrainian forces are pulling back along parts of the frontline under fierce Russian pressure; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed the difficult situation on a lack of weapons for his soldiers.
That’s likely to increase pressure from Kyiv during next week’s NATO Washington summit for its allies to speed up arms deliveries.
“This is not a stalemate, but a problematic situation,” Zelenskyy told Bloomberg on Thursday. “A problem can be solved if there are tools and desire. We have the desire, but the tools have not arrived. We have brigades without weapons. We have 14 brigades that do not have the appropriate weapons that have already been voted on and talked about.” (read more)
In 2022, the New York Times published an article saying the CIA and Pentagon special forces are organizing and conducting the NATO war effort from a secret operation center in Kyiv.
Some viewed the article as the NYT violating operational security for the U.S. led effort. However, that perspective belies the nature of how the media is used in war by Dept of State and intelligence officials. The details of the Times article were attributed to “three U.S. officials,” and should be looked upon as purposeful for the intent of provocation.
♦ To answer the lead-in question….. Ultimately, if you drill down the conflict to its core and essential origin, you will find the USA spending several years in Ukraine on behalf of a small banking group who controls the ‘western’ global financial system.
If the bankers took no proactive action, the dollar-based global financial system was going to erode further. Take away the western financial system and the powers that inevitably control all global conflict would see their abilities diminish. Peace is not a lucrative enterprise for the continuation of assembled affluence.
You cannot have “world peace” and simultaneous retention of global financial control by a small group of benefactors. Independent wealth leads to hindsight questions amid those previously impoverished.
The solution to the historic truism? WAR!
And here we are!
“Ladies and gentlemen, the mask is off. Behold the demons who are running this country.”…

Necons should be Tried for Treason
Posted Jul 7, 2024 By Martin Armstrong
My sources have confirmed that not only did Russia make a stop in Cuba, but China is also present, and they are constructing spy installations to watch what is going to take place, especially with our elections. They are well aware that Biden is NOT running the country. This is in the hands of the Neocons, and both Garland and Blinken just so happen to be Ukrainian Jews with family histories that insist they were persecuted by Russians. Garland has abused the power of the Department of Justice to prosecute Trump because he would fire them all desperately.
Robert Kagan is Victoria Buland’s husband. He is the one who started this claim that Trump will destroy democracy and become a dictator. What the Washington Omitts, besides pointing out he is Nuland’s husband, but also that Nuland was in EVERY administration except Trump’s who did his best to prevent these Neocons from destroying the United States. Kagan began his nonsense:
“Let’s stop the wishful thinking and face the stark reality: There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day.”
It is these people with personal vendettas against Russians who have usurped the power of the United States and positioned the Democrats to stuff in Biden, who they KNEW was incompetent. They have been running the country. They all should be hauled out and tried for Treason – but then again, there is NOBODY in Congress willing to defend our country or the people anymore.
It gets better. Kimberly Kagan runs the Institute for the Study of War, which is the main source for mainstream press, all claiming Russia is losing and weak. She is the sister-in-law of Victoria Nuland and her brother-in-law, Frederick W. Kagan. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) sources much fake news. Most curious, even the New York Times wrote about this Kagan family that they were leftists and very outspoken to the point of manipulating whatever to gain their view of the world.
The question is, why is this family such warmongers? It all traces back to Ukraine, claiming their families were persecuted by Russians for being Jewish.
