COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, Thank you so much for coming to Germany. Your view is always the best, for it is not based, as you say, on personal opinion. I wish the government would listen and inform the politicians to adopt a new way of managing society.
H
ANSWER: Yes, I know what you mean. But as I have always said, after working and meeting with governments worldwide for over 40 years, they prefer to act in their own self-interest, defined as their personal power – not the benefit of the people. This illustration is of the German GDP in the Euro, followed by the timing array, and then expressed in US dollars.
Currency masks the real trends. I try to explain that, but as you know, most people in these meetings cannot grasp the concept. You are not common in government. There needs to be more like you. More than a simple one-dimensional view seems too complicated for them to understand. When I am gone, hopefully, they will be able to take what I have done without prejudice as to who developed it. That’s just the way it goes. They used to say a prophet is never accepted in his own land. Keynes was criticized in the 1920s. Marx was embraced only after he died.
As you can see, German GDP peaked in terms of real international value in 2007 with the Economic Confidence Model, and the Euro peaked in 2008. The high value of the Euro in 2008 reduced exports, and the recession began with that turning point on the ECM. The Pi Target on that wave was the precise day Greece turned to the IMF for a bailout, launching the European Debt Crisis.
German REAL GDP in international value terms will not bottom until 2030. The ECM turning point suggests that Germany is headed into a recession that overall will appear to bottom in nominal terms in 2028, but in real terms, it will extend into 2030.

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, You have a large following here in Estonia. It was disturbing for our leaders to talk about breaking up Russia. As you know, this region has been at war with Russia many times, as well as others. Do you have any projections for Estonia from your computer for our future?
Thank you
Rasmus
ANSWER: Yes, there have been many wars over the years. Your share market peaked 3 years ago for a reason. There is a Directional Change next year and a sharp rise in volatility into 2026. On June 17th, 1940, that is when the Russian Red Army occupied Estonia and Latvia. Then, on August 6th, 1940, Estonia was declared the Estonian SSR and incorporated into the Soviet Union by the communists. Unfortunately, the West is determined to destroy and conquer Russia mainly for wealth, not much different from the motives of Hitler and Napoleon. This is not going to end well. It appears to be headed to a climax in 2026, which is 86 years from 1940.
Your Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, is boasting, telling the BBC that Russia’s Vladimir Putin is “afraid” of a war with NATO. She seems to be part of the world leaders ushering us to our end. They really think that they can destroy Russia without nuclear war, and Putin will fold and surrender.
They have all been brainwashed by the Neocons and are pushing for World War III because the Neocons hate Russians and they have risen to the top where they are now in full control of the White House, NATO, and have led the EU leaders down this path where they are told that they can destroy Russia and Putin is just bluffing.
Putin has issued another chilling warning to the West, saying its ‘selfishness and hypocrisy’ has led to a ‘dangerous turn of events’ and brought the world ‘close to a point of no return’. Speaking to foreign ministry officials, the Kremlin, Putin said: ‘Calls to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, which possesses the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons, demonstrate the extreme recklessness of Western politicians.
I can tell you that the discussions are absurd. The sales pitch to destroy Russia completely is serious. The entire purpose of allowing Ukraine to now use Western missiles to attack inside Russia was to claim the Ukrainians make their own decisions, and they intend to try to undermine Russia’s nuclear capability. They took at their early warning radar that had nothing to do with Ukraine. That was to warn of a West’s nuclear attack. Ukraine deliberately sought to undermine Russia’s nuclear capability.
They are now claiming that the tide of war is beginning to turn in Kyiv’s favor by allowing them to begin to strike targets inside Russia. They are telling the leaders that they can defeat Russia and to ensure a Ukrainian victory; they must not listen to Putin’s “hollow words,” for its ailing nuclear capabilities are no threat to NATO. This is why your PM said what she did to the BBC.
This will come to nuclear war because the West is in full control of the Neocons, who just hate every Russian on the planet and want to pull off their own genocide.

It is a very strange dynamic to watch the G7 leaders assemble in Italy this year, against a political backdrop there they have essentially been rebuked by the citizens of the nations they are supposed to represent. It’s a very odd dynamic indeed.
PICTURED: German Chancellor Olaf Schulz just lost his election and now exists in the minority within his country. French President Emmanuel Macron just lost an election, quickly cancelled parliament and called for a snap election because he was crushed in the results. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a minority government, the lowest approval rating ever, and is tenuously clinging to his position. U.K Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is just a few weeks away from leading his party to a total wipe out in the British election; the only question in Great Britain is how badly Sunak will lose. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has led his country into a position of lengthy economic stagnation, massive inflation and his approval numbers are the lowest in history….. Then there’s Joe Biden, sitting in an even worse position without a literal clue about where he is.
The two European reps, President Ursula von der Leyen (far right above) and Council President Charles Michel (far left above) are not even elected by EU citizens and represent nothing but a bureaucracy of insufferable leftist pontification.
This is what’s called “the G7” and supposed to represent the assembly of the largest industrial economies in the world, which isn’t even accurate any longer. The Russian economy is now larger than Germany, which makes Putin’s economy bigger than any EU nation. It’s a very sad state of affairs and considering the COVID “Build Back Better” agenda the G7 followed, they did this entirely to themselves.
With Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran now part of the BRICS+ group, and with dozens of countries wanting to join Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, the G7 is barely relevant as a shrinking majority economic bloc.
Not coincidentally, this G7 assembly is also the group of nations who organized the economic sanctions against Russia.

The Great Reset requires those in power to usurp our ability to farm and cultivate our own food. What better way to control the masses than to have complete control on their ability to survive. The World Economic Forum has proposed a ban on farming, a ban on gardening, and bans on any attempt to live off the land that already provides us with all we need as humans. Nations are slowly implementing laws to restrict our access to food. In the UK, anyone owning a chicken must register with government.
Beginning in the fall of 2024, anyone in the UK who owns a single chicken in England and Wales will be required to register their bird before October 1, 2024. Those in Scotland have until September 1, 2024, to register. The previous law required anyone with 50 or more birds to register, but the government now wants to know who may have access to eggs and meat. Poultry keepers must renew their registration every 12 months.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) claims that they are simply attempting to prevent diseases from spreading. Are the people who own a handful of chickens really contributing to the spread of the bird flu? Why should people who own a single bird be required to maintain a permit with the federal government? This is government overreach at its finest. Next, they will expect an egg tax or require poultry owners to vaccinate their birds with an experimental substance.
Make no mistake about it – these measures are intended to control the food supply. Will the people of the UK protest or fail to adhere to this asinine law? Germany already requires citizens to register their chickens, and other nations will follow the WEF agenda.

Never ashamed to beg, world traveler Zelensky landed in Jeddah to meet Saudi de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Saudi Arabia has become the world’s leading oil exporter. Saudi Arabia has positioned itself relatively neutral, working with both Russia and Ukraine in recent years. Saudia Arabia has not stated whether it would join 90 other countries in Switzerland for upcoming peace negotiations, but Zelensky’s impromptu visit is raising eyebrows.
Zelensky has been meeting with world leaders in recent weeks ahead of the summit in Switzerland. Saudi Arabia’s participation could be key in negotiations on behalf of Ukraine. Saudi Arabia invited 40 world leaders, including China, to a summit last August to discuss the war in Ukraine. Saudi has an opportunity to position itself as a stronghold and world leader in its unique “multi-polar” diplomatic approach to the war.

Saudi Arabia has benefitted from the war. It imports massive volumes of Russian oil at a discount and has been able to maintain crude exports amid OPEC+ mandated cuts. Saudia Arabia imported 2.86 million tons of oil from Russia in the first half of 2023 alone, importing only 1.63 millions tons for the entirety of 2022 in comparison. The nation has imported around 193,000 barrels per day from Russia in June, marking a 10x increase from last June. Saudia Arabia joined the BRICS partnership last January and its trade with Russia far surpasses its trade with Ukraine.
It would be in Saudi Arabia’s best interest for this war to continue. Saudia Arabia surpassed Russia for oil exports to China in 2023. The West is willing to buy marked up oil from Saudi Arabia simply to say they did not purchase it directly from Russia. The Saudis are focusing on domestic interests, similar to India, and are willing to arm and trade with both sides.

Years ago, when I wrote that Bitcoin was created by the NSA, some Bitcoiners attacked me and insisted that Satoshi Nakamoto was the creator of Bitcoin. Yet someone who created such a product never stepped forward and would have been a billionaire on royalties. But this fictional character was not much different than Lee Harvey Oswald, who the CIA has insisted killed JFK with his magic bullet. At least with Oswald, there was a real man who they cleverly ensured he would be killed to deny any trial. Then, the CIA refused to release files to cover up the entire affair.
Bitcoin was presented as an anti-government creation that would defeat central banks, and some claimed it would become the new reserve currency. I laughed at that because such claims were absurd and demonstrated that it was a sales pitch for no government to arbitrarily create a reserve currency. I have illustrated many times how the currency of the major economy is always imitated, proving that it always was not gold or silver; there was a premium because of who they were. As illustrated above, Southern India issued gold imitations or Roman coins rather than their own because the coinage of Rome was seen as the power on earth.
Trajan Decius (249-251AD) was the first emperor killed in battle by the invading barbarians in 251 AD. What is interesting in this is where the Indian Imitations end with Trajan Decius. The power of Rome was starting to decline, and with it, the imitation of its currency.
The Financial Capital of the world has always migrated, and the United States, in the arrogance of the Neocons, WEF, UN, and Bill Gates, who all think they can dictate to the world, are in their lust for importance and power are destroying this nation, and that title will pass to China.
The pure stupidity of believing that Bitcoin will replace the dollar was remarkable to me, for it illustrated what Julius Caesar observed long ago—people believe what they want to believe. They never consulted history, much less the facts. They celebrated a fictional Japanese character, while those who created Bitcoin at the United States National Security Agency laughed at how easily it was to fool people all the time. Of course, the Bitcoin believers argue that this is ridiculous claiming that there’s no solid evidence to support it. Neither is there a real Satoshi Nakamoto. They may celebrate Bitcoin as an alternative to evil central banks, but they fail to apply that distrust of government to the NSA and CIA.
As I wrote years ago, just look into Bitcoin’s source code. The key to Bitcoin is its use of Secure Hash Algorithm 256, or SHA-256, which is used for everything. This mathematical formula jumbles data into a string of seemingly random text, making it nearly impossible to crack. Those of us in the world of programming are familiar with this algorithm, for it is the direct work of Glenn M. Lilly, who is a mathematician under the direction of the NSA. He designed and eventually published the algorithm back in 2001. Lilly later became the NSA’s chief of mathematics research. All you have to do is look into the NSA and you will discover that it was THE FIRST to even describe a Bitcoin-like system back in 1996. That paper was titled:
How To Make A Mint: The Cryptography Of Anonymous Electronic Cash.
The NSA’s 1996 plan to create anonymous electronic cash (archive.org).
In this paper, you will discover the proposed system that uses public-key cryptography to allow users to make anonymous payments without revealing their identity. If we look at the very name Satoshi Nakamoto, in Japanese, “satori” is a mythical creature that can read minds. Satoshi in Kanji is 覚, which generally means “wisdom,” so if we look at 中本聪,
中 is the “middle”, 本 the “root”.
聪 means “cleverness”
The name of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, can be interpreted as a reference to the U.S. spy agency as a reader of minds and cleverness.
The general talk has been that the end of the fiat monetary system is imminent. Central bank digital currencies allegedly threaten the US dollar, according to some very shallow reasoning and a total lack of understanding about why the dollar is even the reserve currency. Beyond that delusion, these people claim that cryptocurrency will end fiat currency. However, private cryptocurrency is not backed by anything, either.
There is also serious talk behind the curtain, including the United Nations trying to become a one-world government that will be a dictatorship with no democratic process whatsoever. There is some argument that the central banks’ digital currencies will not displace the dollar, and that title will go to the digital “IMF Coin,” which will become the new reserve currency.
The dollar is the reserve currency, just as was the Roman silver denarius, because it was not just the financial capital of the world. Still, they both represented the major economy, and everyone was trying to sell to the core. Rome conquered most of the Western World at that time, and most found it beneficial to be part of Rome. They often received capital investment into emerging markets, and they produced local goods to be sold to Rome. For example, Egypt was a major supplier of wheat to Rome.
Today’s transactions are mostly digital, so converting paper dollars to cryptocurrency will not dramatically alter the economy. The UN and IMF are simply trying to take over the world for a power play. They do not have armies or economies to qualify for the world’s financial capital. They are drunk with this delusion of power that they can rule the world by sheer decree. From the very beginning, the elite saw in their vision that they would dominate the world and end democracy. Huxley was against the United States and believed that “unrestricted individualism” was equally wrong as a total dictatorship as in communism.
Kalus Schwab’s 8 points for 2030 end the threat of “populism,” as was the case in electing Trump, by eliminating the people’s right to be heard. Schwab, the UN, and the IMF see retaining some basic human rights but removing our right to even say what kind of government we want. In their world, only the elite know what is best—not the people.
This is the real agenda behind cryptocurrencies: to lay the foundation for the ultimate power being handed to the UN and the IMF. This folly will not succeed. Such entities are like men and even corporations—they are never immortal. I will celebrate the day the flags of the UN are lowered forever. It has always been a dangerous and lustful entity drooling for supreme power.
This is the end goal: the IMF digital coin will replace the dollar, and all other CBDCs will clear through it internationally. The reason is that the sanctions they put on Russia led to the split of the world economy, which was the alternative to SWIFT. IMF believes that replacing the dollar will overcome the reason for the BRICS and rejoin the world economy under the IMF, removing the ability of the Neocons to use the dollar as a threat and weapon. The United Nations wants to then emerge as the world peacemaker and replace the United States under their control – not just the WHO with their health mandates. That is just the tip of this monster – the elimination of your right to vote on anything.
I have warned that the very character of Klaus Schwab is one of a control freak. Bill Gates also tends to create monopolies, which he is doing in the pharmaceutical world, forcing MNRA upon humans and livestock without long-term testing. This movement destroys the very basis of human life – the right to pursue your own path. Stalin did the same, and Russia collapsed for history stands as a witness; centralized absolute control has NEVER succeeded even once in history.

The G7 (Group of Seven) leaders reached an agreement on June 13th to utilize frozen Russian assets in their continued support of the war in Ukraine. However, they dance very carefully with the bear. They are NOT handing the actual assets to Ukraine – the most corrupt country perhaps in the world. The Pandora Papers revealed that Ukraine had the highest number of politicians from any country with a secret offshore account. Even Forbes Magazine said that Ukraine owes it to the West to clean up the outrageous corruption. Foreign Policy Magazine asked how deep does the corruption in Ukraine run? The joke in the US is that Biden Administration has created more billionaires than any other administration in history. They all just so happen to be in Ukraine. Others are asking should they just send their income tax directly to Zelenskyy?
The G7 will provide the black financial hole we call Ukraine with a loan using frozen Russian assets as collateral. The corruption is so pervasive, and accountability is ZERO, so they have wisely concluded not to actually turn over Russian assets for Putin would then be justified to just confiscate ALL assets held by Western countries and private/public corporations to compensate what is a violation of international law – which nobody cares about anymore.
The total sum is unclear at this time, but the United States has committed $50 billion thanks to Blinken, who has family tied to Ukraine, the same as Victoria Nuland. The risk will be shared among the other G7 nations, and this risk is substantial, for Ukraine will no longer exist as a country when this is over based on our computer models. Zelenskyy is too busy stuffing his pockets to actually care about his people or the future. He is banking on NATO invading Russia and extinguishing it as a country so he can then seize all the assets of Russia for Ukraine.
What most people do not understand is that the removal of Russian banks from SWIFT did NOT include the ones that Europe pays for energy. They do not want to talk about that publicly, and others are pretending that all these transactions are going through crypto. Behind closed doors, if the US tried to remove those banks from SWIFT, Europe would be in revolution, for the continent would go dark, with no food, light, heat, or industrial production.
Victoria Nuland is really of Ukrainian Jewish descent. Her family changed their name to try to hide their Jewish ethnic background. She really would be Nudelman, not Nuland. She is actually the daughter of Yale bioethics and medicine professor Sherwin B. Nuland, who changed his surname from Nudelman to Nuland. She retained her family name, Nuland, to perhaps further hide her Jewish/Ukrainian connection by marrying Robert Kagan. Ron Paul plainly wrote: “Victoria Nuland exemplifies the neocons who have led US foreign policy from one disaster to another for the past 30 years while evading accountability.“
Anthony Blinken also has family ties to Ukraine, which also introduces a conflict of interest regarding anything to do with Russia. He was born in 1962, the son of Donald M. Blinken, who was born on November 11, 1925, in Yonkers, New York. Anthony’s Grandfather was Moritz (Maurice) Blinken (1900-1986), who was born in Kiev and married his wife, Ethel Horowitz (1903-1997).
Anthony’s grandfather and mother were of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, which is significantly different from the Spanish Sephardic Jews. All Reform and Conservative Jewish congregations belong to the Ashkenazic tradition. I knew Edmond Safra, who was a Sephardic Jew. His family disapproved of his marriage to Lily because she was an Ashkenazi Jew.
Blinken’s Great-Grandfather Meyer Yankelevich Blinkin (1879 – 1915) was from Kiev, then the Russian Empire who, according to Antony Blinken himself “fled pogroms in Russia” which were a violent riot that was aimed at massacring and expelling the Jews in Kiev in 1905. Meyer fled Kiev when he was 25 years old in 1904. His two grandsons, Alan Blinken and Donald Blinken, served as U.S. ambassadors to Belgium and Hungary, respectively.
This is most likely why Zelenskyy married a Christian, baptized his children, and only said he was Jewish after becoming president. He would even make jokes about confiscating assets from Jews and Russians before becoming president.
For him to admit that his family was persecuted by Russians certainly colors his judgment, and it appears that this connected Jewish/Ukrainian group has weaseled their way to the top and directed US foreign policy against Russia for personal animosity. They have always been promoting World War III and appear to have very deep hidden roots that should not be allowed to influence such policies.
