Seeking the Death Penalty
Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion
Re-Posted Feb 22, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
I have been asked whether I support the death penalty or if I am a liberal on that issue. The government acts as if it is NEVER wrong. It is EXCEPTIONALLY RARE for any prosecutor to admit they wrongly prosecuted someone. The number of people freed with DNA evidence is staggering. Most events do not end happily for so many are executed before they are exonerated. Sometimes, they are saved before they are killed. Prosecutions are personal for prosecutors, and they brag about them on their resume to get a real job after pretending to save society.
I have NEVER met a single prosecutor that you would EVER want to be friends with or certainly EVERallow them to marry your daughter. They are more often the people who enjoyed pulling wings off of flies or tormenting a cat or dog when they were young. It is extraordinarily rare to find one with a conscious. I have heard of some rare exceptions. However, they are extremely rare. It is like sending a soldier into battle who cannot kill someone because of his moral conscious. If you are a prosecutor, you are someone who typically can cheer someone’s death and go have dinner that night to party and celebrate.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Nikolas Cruz, 20-years-old, for slaughtering children at Stoneman Douglas school on Valentine’s day last year. He has pleaded not guilty, but his lawyers have said he would plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence. Prosecutors always ask for the death penalty because people wrongly believe that is the worst punishment. They are VERY WRONG. To die is a peaceful end, but to live in prison for life is a lifetime of torture and that is a slow death. Someone who often commits some act like this is not accepted among prisoners. At the very least, he would be abused by fellow prisoners. If he were someone who molested children, he would likely be killed by other prisoners. Prisoners who are sentenced to life often pray for death.
Timothy J. McVeigh who was sentenced to death for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing of a federal building asked the federal judge to have him executed within four months. The prosecutors cheered. They won. They got to kill someone. But McVeigh was someone who the guards would constantly harass and torture since he killed an FBI agent. Life in prison would have been far worse for McVeigh than death.
One problem in prison was that people would intentionally pick a fight with someone in hopes that they would kill them. That, of course, would never be an acceptable defense when the surviving prisoner would be charged. But in truth, that is far more common than people realize or want to realize because it is more convenient to picture everyone in prison as evil.
Then there were also “Rat Hunters” who would kill people who testified against others to save themselves. Rats were never trusted and killing a rat was also regarded as fair game.
I would opt for death over life in prison any day. It should be voluntary.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for President?
Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics
Re-Posted Feb 21, 2019 by Martin Armstrong
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being affectionately called “AOC” and is the youngest member of the House. She has been garnering media attention for months since knocking off a veteran Democratic lawmaker in the 2018 primary. There have been people proposing that she should run for president in 2024. The 29-year-old can’t run in 2020 since she is under 35. Interestingly, everyone criticizes Trump for his tweets, but all of the politicians are adopting what Trump began. Like Trump, AOC isn’t quiet on social media either. She sometimes posts on Twitter a dozen times in a single day. She has 3.1 million Twitter followers, which has exceeded those of Nancy Pelosi (2.3 million), and dwarfs the 807,000 who follow Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on the social media site. Still, she is dwarfed by Trump who has 55 million followers on Twitter.
Vanity Fair called AOC a “Kingmaker” after being in office for just one week. I find it stunning that the media immediately says she is not a “fad,” but said the opposite for Trump. They fail to see the commonality that both are indeed not a fad, but both are part of a rising revolution against career politicians. They were elected NOT so much for what they said, but because people are tired of the same old lies. The number of elections that have promised change are endless. In the end nothing ever changes — government grows, taxes rise, and individual citizens are denied the basic human right to decide their own future.

CHICAGO (CBS) – CBS 2 has obtained exclusive video of two men linked to the attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett buying a red hat and ski masks from a store the day before the assault.
The video shows what appears to be Ola and Abel Osundairo placing the masks and a hat on the counter. Smollett has claimed two men wearing a similar hat and masks attacked him on Jan. 29 in Streeterville, according to police. CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar made multiple phone calls and visited several stores to obtain the video. (link)

February 15, 2019
Democrat Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) is the representative from Long Island City where Amazon was going to put their headquarters. Along with many other Democrats Ms. Maloney is stunned at how the moonbat wing of the party has taken over.
AOC and her followers think a ‘tax abatement’ is an actual bucket of pre-existing cash they can now spend to improve New York schools and infrastructure. No, seriously, they actually believe this… It’s far beyond economic dissonance, it’s Moonbattery.

70% tax rates. Free college and medicare for everyone. Cars and airplanes made illegal. A ban on cows and meat. Social justice mobs who cheer destroying jobs… Alexandria Occasional-Cortex and her millions of followers is the gift that keeps on giving.

Two Potential Suspects Arrested for Attack on ‘Empire’ Actor Jussie Smollett…
February 15, 2019
Chicago police have arrested two Nigerian brothers, Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo (pictured below), and are calling them potential suspects in the alleged attack against actor Jussie Smollett.
The arrest could be problematic for the victim if the police request a line-up to identify the perpetrators. Previously, the actor stated the attack was carried out by two white males wearing MAGA hats. Based on an investigative review of the alleged attackers they do not appear to meet the profile.
Chicago – Two potential suspects in the alleged racial attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett have been arrested, Chicago police said Friday. […] Police also confirmed “they have a relationship with [Jussie].”
This news comes hours after police told ABC News they were classifying them as potential suspects.
“Detectives have probable cause that they may have been involved in an alleged crime and we are working to corroborate the allegations and investigative timeline as our investigation continues,” police said. (read more)
