Romanian Uprising thanks to EU & US Interference in Their Election


Posted originally on Mar 3, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

The Romanians, I suppose, must all be far-right, but that is the current mood, and the interference in their election has only increased the anti-corrupt government sentiments. The high court is lucky they are not dragged out in their robes and set on fire as the Chinese did once under similar circumstances. Some Romanians have even expressed regret for joining the EU.

2012-2015 Uprising Against Corruption

Romania is by no means a passive country. The people will protest in mass when pushed – a good thing. There was a period of serious civil unrest between 2012 and 2015, which led to political reforms against pervasive corruption. That corruption is inherent in the Romanian government to a lesser degree than in Ukraine, but it is still offensive to the people who suffer from the highest poverty levels in the European Union. More than 30% of the population lives on less than $5 per day as the politicians take their bribes and stuff their pockets. Unemployment rose in the aftermath of the 2007-2010 Great Recession and that sparked the 2012-2015 uprising.

The government responded with drastic austerity measures in 2010. However, in 2013, Romania produced the highest economic growth in the EU, but the corruption  was so pervasive that the actual standard of living decreased. This was the backdrop to the major civil unrest between 2012 that prevailed into 2015.

Now with the EU manipulating the Romanian election and screwing the people again, we see a massive rally in protest that the Western press is ignoring because they, too, are paid to cheer the LEFT and look away. They are calling now for the government of Romania to resign and for the second round of the elections to resume. The people are solidly with Călin Georgescu. I have been sent this video because the media is silent because Georgescu was against Ukraine and this war with Russia that benefits nobody by the warmongers and leaves millions dead as they stuff their pockets, and the authoritarianism from Brussels.

This current uprising is cyclically right on schedule for our forecast starting in 2025, which was 13 years from the 2012 protest against the same issue of corruption, but with external political interference ce from both the EU and the United States, all because they want war with Russia. The American Neocons care nothing about the people. This has always been nothing but to fulfill their hatred of Russians.

Romanian Revolution 1989

Romanians know all too well that you can vote your way into socialism, but you must shoot your way out. They had their revolution December 16-25, 1989, but the violence continued until December 30th, 1989. This and 1848 were outright revolutions – not just protests that began in 513AD.

Our computer had forecast the start of this civil unrest for 2025, which will continue into 2027. That was manifested by the nullification of a free election. This has proven that the government of the EU is ruthless, and hopefully, Trump cleans the US government of all Neocons who should be sent to prison for life to protect society from their machinations.

Western Influence Encroaches Lebanon

The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) are seeking to influence Lebanon as the nation attempts to rebuild. Lebanese Finance Minister Yassin Jaber announced earlier in the month that the World Bank prepared a “preliminary plan” worth $1 billion to assist in rebuilding efforts. Lebanon is attempting to form a new government, and the West is encroaching on the Middle Eastern nation to ensure it can insert political influence if not dominance.

The war between Israel and rebel group Hezbollah claimed over 4,000 lives and caused billions in damages. The estimated damages continue to rise but Lebanon is in desperate need of capital as its economy was in ruin before the war even happened. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam told the United Nations that his aim is to disarm Hezbollah, but the group maintains a powerful political force. Lebanon must find a way to rid itself of Hezbollah if it wishes to secure funding.

IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva said that any funding would be “linked to specific steps and procedures with a specific time frame and objective.” The European Union has taken an interest as well, offering to disburse €500 million in aid as part of a deal signed last year that was contingent on reducing the number of migrants. US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff also stated he believes the US may wish to broker a deal.

I reported that the US military is building a $1.2 billion mega compound in Awkwar, Lebanon. The location is a mere 10 miles from the center of Beirut and 60 miles away from the Israeli border.  Hezbollah and Israel agreed to a ceasefire on November 27, 2024, but the group is still strong and continues to support Hamas.

The West needs to preserve its dominance in the Middle East and rid Lebanon of Hezbollah. Every banking institution and nation has its eye on Lebanon as it digs its way out of economic ruin. Lebanon’s GDP declined by nearly 40% since 2019, contracting 4% in 2024 alone due to the conflict with Israel. Inflation reached 67.4% in 2024 with the Lebanese pound losing an astounding 98% of value in the past five years alone. Lebanon is desperate for political reform and funding. Eliminating Hezbollah and accepting Western influence may be the only option for the nation to begin recovery efforts as the people of Lebanon continue to suffer.

Norway Disavows Private Company Refusing to Fuel American Ships & Russia Attacks Supply Line

A private Norwegian fuel supplier Haltbakk Bunkers, has said after the way Zelensky was treated by Trump, they are cutting off all fuel for American Ships. The Norwegian government has disavowed that policy, assuring the United States this is not a government policy and that American ships will be refueled, contrary to the statement of Haltbakk Bunkers.

Ukraine Weapons Supplies

Meanwhile, since Zelensky has refused to accept any cease-fire, we should expect to see the fighting now escalate. Russia has now attacked a cargo ship, Swiss-owned MSC LEVANTE F, a Panama-flagged, with missiles to “sink” it after they received reliable information that the vessel carried British weapons to aid Ukraine that included drones and weaponry loaded in Turkey before being taken to the Ukrainian city of Odesa. This demonstrates that Zelensky’s refusal to accept any cease-fire warrants an escalation that will now target the Ukrainian supply line. This is a standard military tactic, and it is surprising that Russia has waited so long to take this step.

Chrystia Freeland Canada Needs to Arm Nuclear Against the USA


Posted originally on Mar 2, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

Chrystia Freeland, Klaus Schwab’s stooge, has gone rogue and is pitching to become the next prime minister of Canada. She claims that the world is looking to Canada to be the new leader of the Free World. She is advocating joining with NATO against the United States, with Britain and France adding as nuclear powers, all to protect this leftist agenda because they know they are losing support globally. She said:

“The US is turning predator, and so what Canada needs to do is work closely with our democratic allies, our military allies. I would start with our Nordic partners, specifically Denmark who is also being threatened, and our NATO European allies. I would be sure that France and Britian were there who possess NUCLEAR WEAPONS and I will be working urgently with these partners to build a closer security relationship that guarantees our security in a time when United States can be a threat.”

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer Announces U.K. Troops Will be “Boots on the Ground in Ukraine” Leading a European “Coalition of the Willing”


Posted originally on CTH on March 2, 2025 | Sundance

Following a widely watched assembly of EU leaders, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces that Britain will lead a “coalition of the willing” and the U.K. will put boots on the ground and planes in the air to create the “security guarantee” for a potential Russia-Ukraine ceasefire.

The Prime Minister did not specify any other European country who will align and join their military forces on the ground in Ukraine; instead outlining that additional military elements will be rapidly organized.  PM Starmer stressed that U.S. military forces “must” backstop the EU military members and implied that Italian PM Meloni will only align with the principal of Italian military use if the USA is involved.

As secretary Rubio mentioned earlier in the day, the Ukraine/EU phrase “security guarantee” is more honestly described as “deterrence” or an insurance policy.  Prime Minister Starmer and this EU ‘coalition of the willing’ are only willing to put their military into Ukraine if the USA will be guaranteed to come into the conflict if the ceasefire falls apart.  This should not be a part of any reasonable consideration, given the 3rd parties (not Russia) that would intentionally seek to disrupt a ceasefire to suck the USA into battle.  WATCH:

None of the other EU nations are willing to publicly say they will put their military into Ukraine, because the EU just doesn’t have a military force capable to deal with the conflict.

Sunday Talks: NSA Mike Waltz Says Zelenskyy is Going to Need to Make Territorial Concessions


Posted originally on CTH on March 2, 2025 | Sundance

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz appears on CNN to outline how the U.S. team no longer sees Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a man who can lead his nation to a place of peace.

Waltz notes that at a certain point there are going to be negotiations and discussions about Ukraine territory that Zelenskyy is going to need to face with pragmatic honesty. However, at the current state of conflict Zelenskyy is intransigent toward any ceasefire agreement that does not include U.S. troops on the ground as a “security guarantee.”  WATCH:

Sunday Talks: Secretary of State Marco Rubio Outlines Reality of Peace Deal Zelenskyy Refutes


Posted originally on CTH on March 2, 2025 | Sundance

Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues to shine as he speaks through the issues of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and speaks commonsense to the dynamic the western media pretends not to know.

Appearing on ABC, Secretary Rubio cuts to the chase in his support of President Trump and the administration officials who are organizing the most practical end to war, destruction and bloodshed.  ABC George Stephanopolous pushes the “security guarantee” talking point, while Rubio eloquently keeps the focus on ending the conflict.

The Zelenskyy defenders, NATO and the EU must pretend the U.S didn’t carry out a color revolution in Ukraine. They must also pretend they didn’t install Volodymyr Zelenskyy and pretend there was no civil war happening inside Ukraine for a decade. Lastly, the western group must pretend they didn’t try to provoke Vladimir Putin with expansions of NATO and an intentional breaking of the Minsk accords. There are other pretenses that must be maintained, but these are the top ones.

Secretary Marco Rubio and President Trump are not pretending.  WATCH:

British PM Keir Starmer Says He Will Organize EU Ceasefire Security Force with France +2, and Count on U.S. Military Backstop From Trump


Posted originally on CTH on March 2, 2025 | Sundance 

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is holding a Ukraine summit in London today with EU leaders, following two phone calls with President Trump.

According to the outline Starmer proposed on BBC News, following the disastrous Zelenskyy meeting in the White House, the British PM called President Trump and also Emmanuel Macron.  According to his statements, Starmer told Trump he would work with Macron +2 unidentified countries (a “coalition of the willing”), to organize an EU security force for a Ukraine ceasefire; then the group will require Trump to provide a U.S. troop “backstop” as an insurance policy.

Starmer completely ignores the NATO provocations against Russia that preceded the military operation by Vladimir Putin, instead blaming only the aggression of Putin for the expansion of NATO in Europe.  Interview Below:

.

Starmer is meeting with EU leaders today, presumably to initiate a discussion of an EU security force that would form the peacekeeping group to secure a ceasefire.  However, Starmer consistently says the U.S. backstop is needed to protect the EU forces in the event the ceasefire doesn’t hold.

Interview: Let Us Prepare For The End Of Democracies

Exclusive interview with Martin A. Armstrong by Carlo Alberto Amen, Piero Messina and Lorenzo Maria Pacini.

Economist Martin Armstrong speaks again with SouthFront. In the interview he gave, Armstrong offers some insights into the main issues on the geopolitical and economic agenda. Armstrong’s reflections are based on the interpretative model of economic cycles, the Socrates model. The analysis of economic cycles – according to the model developed by Armstrong – indicates a collapse of Western political systems (the end of democracies) in the coming years. The target set by the economist is 2032, but day after day, citizens of Western communities will be faced with a growing squeeze on subjective and economic freedom.  Each evaluation factor is directly linked to the model. The crisis of Western democracies is a historical forecast resulting from the exponential growth of state public debts (which will never be repaid). Looking at what is happening to the markets, Armstrong explains that the value of Gold will continue to grow (precisely due to the weakening of Western economies).
