Harris Admits She Does Not Respect the Second Amendment


Posted originally on Sep 20, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

They say it’s a conspiracy or exaggeration at best to claim the Democrats want to decimate the Second Amendment. The left talking points claim that they merely want to curtail access to guns, but resurface interviews prove that is simply not the case. Kamala Harris admitted that she believes authorities should have access to citizen’s private residences to “check to see if they’re being responsible” with firearms.

Second Amendment

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Fourth Amendment

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Unconstitutional

Encoded in the United States Constitution is the ability to bear arms. Our Bill of Rights clearly dictates that the government may not infringe upon our rights as American citizens to bear arms. Elsewhere, the Constitution forbids illegal searches and seizures. Yet, this is precisely what we could expect under a Harris presidency.

“We’re going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible,” Harris once said in 2007 when acting as district attorney of San Francisco.

Did she not attend law school? Harris claims she herself owns a fire arm, but per usual, rules for thee and not for me. Even far-left Governor Newsom called these measures extremes. “We’re not going to knock on everybody’s door, we’re not going to break in and inspect,” Newsom once said when questioned about gun regulation. Harris disagreed and said that these extreme measures would benefit the government in encouraging “certain types of behavior.” ‘When we create laws, it’s not only about creating an opportunity, if you will, to prosecute someone for committing a crime, but more importantly, when we legislate our values, it’s about trying to encourage certain types of behavior,” she said.

Harris does not respect American freedoms provided by the Constitution. Straight from the horse’s mouth, Harris believes LEGAL gun owners should live in fear of Big Brother barging in their home at any moment, violating both the Second and Fourth Amendments. She does not respect the First Amendment for free speech and likely will tie in “misinformation” with those “shared values” that permit the government to determine who may and may not defend themselves.

Interesting Detail – U.S. Secret Service Agent Was Less Than 10 feet Away When He Shot at Ryan Routh


Posted originally on the CTH on September 19, 2024

The U.S. Secret Service gave congressional investigators a briefing on the Trump assassination attempt by Ryan Routh at Trump National in Florida. According to Florida Representative Mike Waltz, who is a member of the committee investigating, apparently the U.S. Secret Service agent walked up on Routh from the fence line and saw the barrel of the SKS rifle. The proactive shots fired by the agent were from within 10 feet of Ryan Routh.

The detail comes at the end of this discussion segment with Laura Ingraham. (Prompted) – WATCH:

Mike Waltz repeats how the FBI are keeping all of the pertinent details surrounding the assassination attempt concealed from the investigating committee under the auspices of an ongoing investigation.  Waltz is calling for transparency in both the Pennsylvania attempt and the Florida attempt; however, despite the USSS providing information, anything from the FBI is not being shared.

The detail of a single USSS agent, accidentally discovering Ryan Routh on the fence line further emphasizes just how fortunate we are that this assassination attempt was foiled.  It appears the agent just coincidentally walked up on Routh’s position during a standard security sweep, and immediately fired shots after seeing the barrel of the gun.  Yikes!

The presence of God’s intervention is in these types of details.

Florida Governor Says FBI Blocked State Investigators From Trump Assassination Crime Scene


Posted originally on the CTH on September 19, 2024 | Sundance

If you get beyond Laura Ingraham’s severe fan-girling for her “top gov” hero, within this interview segment you will notice that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says the FBI blocked state investigators from the fence line crime scene.

Apparently in Georgia and New York the federal government defers jurisdiction to New York and Georgia prosecution over federal matters surrounding President Trump, but in Florida the feds assert unilateral jurisdiction over the assassination attempt of President Trump.

In essence, in New York and Georgia the Biden administration (DOJ) don’t care what the state does against Trump’s interests; however, in Florida the Biden administration (DOJ) are concerned about what the state might do to defend Trump’s interests.  Imagine that.  And yet Merrick Garland says the DOJ operates without political motives?

TRANSCRIPT:

Ingraham: Now, Governor, I want to turn to another topic because we were relieved to hear that you are doing your own independent investigation in Florida concerning the second assassination attempt on President Trump. My question to you tonight is, are the feds being cooperative with your investigation? Are you concerned that you’re not getting the information you need?

Gov. DeSantis: The answer is no; they’re not being cooperative. Yes, I am concerned. For example, we were rebuffed—our investigators were rebuffed just going to the fence line outside of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. I think they’ve taken the position that they don’t want the state of Florida to be involved in this. But here’s the thing: there were multiple violations of Florida law across multiple jurisdictions.

We believe at least three judicial circuits where this guy, Ryan Routh, committed potential violations of Florida law. We have a duty to investigate this. We have a duty to bring the appropriate charges. And we also have a duty to inform the public about how this happened. So, I don’t anticipate them being cooperative. I think they’ve just taken that position, and that’s unfortunate.

Even though I’ve been very clear—the state of Florida is going to do an investigation—I haven’t disputed their right to investigate as well. It’s the federal government. He was in their protective custody as a presidential candidate but let us do this. Hopefully, that will change. But I can tell you right now, Laura, we have not received much of a receptive response.

Ingraham: Very disturbing. By the way, we have Routh’s mugshot, where he looks to be slightly smirking. He’s a very strange individual, to say the least. But we’ve heard other FBI agents, former agents, and governors say they find it odd that in both the first assassination attempt and the second, there’s almost an immediate response from the feds saying, “Oh, looks like he acted alone,” or, “We really don’t know what the motives are here.” Does that strike you as strange?

Gov. DeSantis: Yeah, I don’t think the public has confidence when that is being done. As soon as we got word of this on Sunday, I told our state law enforcement guys to save all of his social media because, you know, Facebook will delete it. The tech companies will delete it. Right, get his digital trail, store that, because we need to know how he ended up in Florida to begin with. What path did this guy take to end up in those bushes trying to assassinate the former president of the United States and current Republican nominee? How did that happen?

We haven’t gotten answers about Butler, and we haven’t gotten answers about things like the Las Vegas shooting from many years ago. So part of our investigation will be to provide evidence of his motive, evidence of his associations, and evidence of his beliefs. I think it’s very important that the public gets the real story.

Ingraham: Yeah, well, the FBI has shredded its own credibility. And Governor, thank goodness you’re doing an investigation. I was so happy to hear that. It’s wonderful to see you tonight. Thank you so much.

.

NOTE:  If you are so inclined, watch this narrative space very closely.  DeSantis is politically positioning against the backdrop of this second assassination attempt and the fact that it happened in Florida.  He’s talking, and his fan club is very happy about it; but actions speak louder than words.  Watch.

In particular, keep watching this ‘opportunistic’ positioning space with both DeSantis and RFK Jr, against the backdrop of New York Judge Merchan saying he will wait to sentence President Trump until after the November election.  Trust your instincts and watch how these two guys’ maneuver for larger influence.

On the other part of this, the FBI is, well, you know…. Da Comrades! The FSB.

Australia Prioritizing the Creation of a Wholesale CBDC


Posted Sep 19, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |  

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is rapidly developing a wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) as developed nations move toward a cashless society. RBA Assistant Governor Brad Jones announced that the bank is launching Project Acacia next month, with the goal of developing a wholesale CBDC within the next three years.

The first form of this digital currency is not yet intended for retail, but extensive research has gone into determining how Australia can transition away from hard currency. Last year, the central bank partnered with the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Center (DFCRC) to determine the best methods to begin transitioning away from the Australian dollar, with reports last stating “a CBDC could be viewed more as an enabling complement to, rather than substitute for, private sector innovation.” The program studied corporate bond settlements by the Australian Bonds Exchange, tokenized FX settlements, as well as offline payments from ANZ bank. The pilot program was met with some difficulties, but the central bank is now committed to uncovering the proper method prior to deployment. “Some uncertainties related to the bespoke nature of the pilot CBDC itself. For instance, the pilot CBDC was issued as a contractual liability of the RBA rather than under a legislative framework, as would likely be the case if a decision was ever made to issue a CBDC in the future,” the report added.

Jones indicated that industry forums will begin in 2025 to discover methods for deploying both wholesale and retail methods. “We have benefited significantly from engagement with industry and the academic community on various CBDC issues over recent years, and we now seek to put more structure around this dialogue,” he said. “These forums would play a similar role to those the RBA has convened in recent years with economists from industry and academia, to hear different views on monetary policy issues.”

For now, wholesale CBDC and tokenized commercial bank deposits are the priority. Jones called recent developments “revolutionary,” as they very well will change our monetary system. About 98% of the global economy, or 134 countries, are exploring methods to launch CBDCs successfully. The Australian Government will be the final decision-maker on the matter, and rest assured all governments are eager to implement an effective digital currency as soon as possible as they believe they will see a large uptick in taxation as no “money” can find its way off the grid under this system. Some of my sources say that governments believe they can increase taxation by up to 35% under a cashless society. “If cash usage continues to decline, it has been suggested in some jurisdictions that a retail CBDC may be needed to preserve monetary sovereignty,” Jones further stated.

Supplemental Poverty Measure on the Rise


Posted originally on Sep 19, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

poverty

The latest Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) found that at 12.9% of American households currently rely on government assistance, up from 12.4% one year prior. The figure was at 11.8% in 2019 and has risen every year under Biden-Harris. The data only factors in US households and not the tens of millions of illegal aliens who also rely on US government handouts.

Around 42.8 million Americans were in poverty in 2023, up from pre-pandemic levels of 38.3 million. We saw poverty levels decreased during 2020 and 2021 when the US government was providing nearly everyone with some sort of assistance to combat wages lost from COVID lockdowns. Those measures simply contributed to inflation and made it harder for those in poverty to move on without government aid.

The SPM factors in tax credits, noncash benefits, social insurance, and market income minus nontax expenses. If only factoring in market income net of necessary expenses, the number of Americans in poverty swiftly rises to 77.8 million. Social insurance programs are now factored into these resources so the data has declined by 28 million, and the addition of SNAP and noncash benefits reduced the figure by another 6.6 million. This certainly does not mean there are less impoverished people living in the wealthiest nation in the world.

Data can be manipulated easily to portray a strong economy. Simply put, more Americans have fallen into economic decline in recent years under Bidenomics. The data would be unbelievable if they actually took into account the migrants who are also living on government aid, and receiving more in aid than Americans citizens who paid into the system.

Who Wants War – Raise Your Hand!


Posted Sep 19, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Finger Up
China 100 Yuan

They say we live in a Democracy. That is the biggest lie and the first told to us by our Republican forms of government. Even the Pledge of Allegiance says, “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands…” There is no mention of a democracy. It is no different from the Chinese, who still called their party the Communist Party when communism fell in 1989, and the people have private ownership today. Communism means there is no private ownership. They no more live in a Communist States than we live in a Democracy. China has more BILLIONAIRES than Europe and is only second to the United States.

At least in China, it is understandable why they did not change the party’s name. They would have had to remove Mao’s image everywhere, even from the currency. The Russians toppled the states of Lenin everywhere, and Putin even said Lenin was just a Bolsevick and not a great statement.

So if China pretends it’s Communist so they do not have to say Mao was wrong, unlike the Russians, then I suppose here in Europe and America, we can pretend to be a Democracy when we are not. Democracy means we, the people, vote, but we are never asked to vote on anything. Nobody asks, shall we go to war with Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran all simultaneously raise your hand? Even more strangely, it appears Russia is the only one not pretending. They admit that they are a republic, so those elected make decisions.

Deep State 1

But the more I meet with politicians, the more I see we do not even live in a republic. We are told we vote for one person because we like their ideas, but when they get to Washington, they are told how to vote. You see, most votes are down the party line. Even a decision out of the Supreme Court is often touted as right vs left. We are told that Putin is evil, and he is really a dictator. But here in the gold old USA, those who are really running government NEVER stand for election. We call them the Deep State.

BidenBeach

These people are always there regardless of who is the currency of the political administration. Biden is on vacation 40% of the time, and Kamala is busy campaigning. Nobody asks. Who is actually running the government?

Goring Herman on War

We have no right to vote on ANY issue, no less about war. They did not like Herman Goring’s answer about how did they get the German people to follow Hitler. His answer was absolutely correct. They use psychological warfare tactics against us by demonizing their target. They did that with Saddam Hussein, and they are doing that to Putin. They use this same tactic against we the people as they have targeted Trump with such hatred and even RFK. The press feeds into this agenda and turns up the hatred even more.

Patch Harry

The Russian people no more support such a war than the American and European people. Harry Patch, the last surviving veteran from World War I when he was 111 years old, had the best suggestion for war.

” I felt then, as I feel now, that the politicians who took us to war should have been given the guns and told to settle their differences themselves,

instead of organizing nothing better than legalized mass murder.”

Here comes October

Stoltenberg NATO

On Wednesday, the outgoing NATO Neocon, who should be thrown in prison for life as a threat to humanity, Jens Stoltenberg, is an outrageous and irresponsible head of NATO, and his replacement will be more of the same. This disgusting Necon suggested that allowing Ukraine to use Western long-range missiles to strike Russian territory would NOT trigger an escalation from Moscow. If Russia told Belarus to start sending missiles into Europe and attack its power grid and political centers, that means NATO would do nothing.

This stance contradicts Vladimir Putin’s recent warnings that such actions would equate to direct Western involvement in the conflict. Stoltenberg is a Neocon, and they are all praying for war, and their entire life goal has been the conquest of Russia. China would be a fool, as would North Korea and Iran, to assume their defeat of Russia would not impact them. They all know that they will be next. This is no choice but to simultaneously attack the West on all four fronts. Stoltenberg and the rest of the deranged Neocons think that they can ask China to wait their turn.

The revolutionary cycle turns up in October for Russia. I fear that if Putin does NOT respond, then the Russian Neocons will overthrow him, and then we will have World War III. They hate Americans just as much as the American Neocons hate Russians. Everywhere you look, it just seems everyone wants war. Nobody seems to be even willing to negotiate anything.

2024_09_18_19_29_53_Iran_attempted_to_pass_hacked_Trump_campaign_info_to_Biden_campaign

Zelensky was selected for this job to destroy Ukraine, only to weaken Russia for NATO. Zelensky has been advocating for the use of Western long-range weapons, such as US ATACMS and British Storm Shadows, to attack Russia and undermine its entire defense to curb Russia’s capacity for attacks.

Then, Iran chose the wrong side and was trying to hand Biden hacked Trump info for the election. Little did they realize that Biden was the hand puppet of the Neocons.

Israel War Cabinet

Meanwhile, the Israeli war cabinet has given Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu full authorization to take offensive and defensive action against Hezbollah, even if it leads to an all-out war – so much for the Neocon Biden’s peace initiative – right! The clever covert operation that blew up Hezbollah pagers and then walkie-talkies was a preparation for a likely Israeli military ground operation in southern Lebanon. The Israeli cabinet has given PM Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant the authorization to undertake military action against Hezbollah despite the fact that this will probably lead to an all-out war and may then force Iran to get involved to open yet another front to weaken Russia since Russia will have to support Iran.

These attacks in the Middle East are on target and will be interesting next week. But we should not take our eyes off in October. Next week is also a key target in Ukraine as well. These people have had two options – assassinate Trump to stop him from dismantling the Neocons and/or start war before the election to retain power.

Clinton Encourages Violence Against Trump One day After Assassination Attempt


Posted originally on Sep 18, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Hillary Clinton took to radicalized faux journalist Rachel Maddow’s show one day after the second Trump assassination attempt to encourage violence against the former president. “The press needs to create a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is,” Clinton told Maddow. The Democrats are blatantly encouraging violence and dividing our nation.

Clinton took her statements a step further by suggesting that American citizens should be jailed for exercising their First Amendment right of free speech if their words happen to sympathize with Donald Trump. The Steele Dossier and Russian collusion hoaxes carefully crafted by Clinton have been long disproven, yet Clinton is relentless in attempting to revive that narrative. “There were Russians engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016, but I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly or criminally charged would be something that would be a better deterrent,” Clinton said.

Soros Calls for Assassination of Trump

The only propaganda is the hate Clinton, and the Neocons are perpetually feeding the left-wing media to confuse the public. Harris also believes that those spreading “misinformation,” or anything that goes against the leftist agenda, should be silenced and punished. Not only do they hate Donald Trump, but these people vehemently hate his supporters.

The rhetoric promoted by the left is causing danger, not only to Trump but toward half of the population who holds conservative views. The Trump-Vance campaign released a newsletter earlier in the week listing over 50 examples of Democrats inciting violence and encouraging assassination attempts. Their narrative insists that MAGA Republicans are the largest threat to our democracy. Donald Trump is the Adolf Hitler of our generation and must be stopped before he destroys civilization. “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” President Joe Biden blatantly said.

We even saw familiar long-debunked lies brought up during the Harris and Trump debate from the Nazi “very fine people” fable to the “bloodbath” debacle. The fraudulent journalists at ABC should have asked Kamala Harris if her party would be willing to quell the violence by behaving in a civil manner ahead of November. The media is encouraging and promoting a real “bloodbath” and tearing this nation apart.

Did Rand Think Tank Agree with Socrates?


Posted originally on Sep 17, 2024 by Martin Armstrong

Commission_on_the_National_Defense_Strategy_RAND

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Your sources are renowned. The Commission on the National Defense Strategy report on the state of affairs globally agrees with you. Thank you for your undying efforts. I am sure you have probably reviewed this report as well. Do you have any comment or review? Your words here do not go unnoticed.

Anonymous

ANSWER: I am not sure this report has gained much press, if any. This report paints a dark picture of the political failure in reigning in the Neocons. My criticism is that it does not explain the shenanigans of the Neocons. It does concede that there is a strategic inadequacy amid a time with the rapidly increasing danger of World War III. The Neocons have pushed us to the brink of war because they have control under the Biden Administration, which has prioritized their actions, overlooking our declining military power. This report said that we face the “most serious and most challenging” threats since 1945. That is an understatement. This even surpasses the previous close call we had in a nuclear confrontation where we went to Defcon 3 involving the Middle East, which was after the Cuban Missile Crisis that most historians overlook.

This report further elaborates on the real risk of “near-term major war.” The report even went further warning very clearly:

“The nation was last prepared for such a fight during the Cold War, which ended 35 years ago. It is not prepared today.”

It pointed out what I have been warning about regarding the linking of China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. It did note,

“China and Russia’s ‘no-limits’ partnership, formed in February 2022 just days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has only deepened and broadened to include a military and economic partnership with Iran and North Korea. . . . This new alignment of nations opposed to U.S. interests creates a real risk, if not likelihood, that conflict anywhere could become a multitheater or global war.”

The report concluded that war can break out but that “the U.S. military lacks both the capabilities and the capacity required to be confident it can deter and prevail in combat.” It stressed what I have been yelling about: the US appears to lack the fortitude to prevent World War III, and they also warned that victory is not assured.

What I want to add is that Russia will assist Iran in getting over the hurdles for nuclear weapons. This is the development of the arrogance of our Neocons, who have never won a single war since World War II but have continued more than 50% of the national debt without interest expenditures.

I am afraid that party politics is playing far too great a role in this issue when it is only to our detriment. I am unaware that this report is a major revelation in the mainstream press, probably because it would point the finger at the Biden Administration. Not even the presidential candidates seem to talk about it. It seems to have gone over the heads of most in Congress as if nobody cares about anything anymore. If history teaches anything, China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea have chosen this moment in history to take a stand against the Neocons, who have caused others to look at America as an imperial power, quite the opposite of the American people.

Countries Grow Weary of United Nations


Posted originally on Sep 17, 2024 by Martin Armstrong

UNFavorability2024

The majority has always accepted the United Nations as a world governing force. Sentiment may be changing according to a new Pew Research Center survey that found support for this global conglomerate waning across the globe.

Of the 35 countries surveyed, 58% still have positive sentiments about the organization, but 31% see it as a negative power. Unsurprisingly, nations in the Middle East, like Israel, no longer support the alliance, but we are seeing declining confidence everywhere. Israel has long held unfavorable views, with 72% holding unfavorable views of the UN; 82% of Jewish Israelis now harbor resentment for the UN compared to 53% of Arab Israelis. Support among Israelis has fallen by 21% in the past year, and of course, the reason goes without saying.

Yet, this phenomenon has expanded everywhere, with over half the people in Japan, Greece, Tunisia, and Turkey falling out of favor with the organization. Support for the United Nations fell by 10 points in the United Kingdom, with 62% of Brits seeing the organization favorably compared to 72% one year ago. Mexico, South Africa, and France all experienced a 9% drop in confidence, with Germany down by 8% and South Korea, America, and Australia all reporting a 5% drop. Only Hungary (15%) and Argentina (6%) expressed increasingly positive views.

United Nations 2

Perhaps the people no longer see the United Nations as a neutral entity meant to play peacekeeper among nations. The world is waking up and realizing that this organization is rapidly growing in power and attempting to form a one-world government. The majority of those in the West have seen their leaders heed domestic policy in favor of international at the insistence of the United Nations, which partners with other global conglomerates like NATO to impose laws on citizens in nations where they simply have no jurisdiction.

The United Nations displayed the extent of their power during the COVID pandemic, and now are championing climate change initiatives and continually calling for governments to submit to their direction. This organization is pushing for the Great Reset with its Agenda 2030.

The International Monetary Foundation (IMF) has been spearheading the push to replace the sovereignty of individual states with a UN-backed global authority that will control everything from our digital identities to the direction nations take in war and trade. Then, they argue that nation-states should begin paying taxes to this entity over individual governments. According to our models, the United Nations, as we know it, will come to an end by 2031 following the old League of Nations.
