Rota Resigns – Scapegoat for Trudeau


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 28, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Speaker for the House of Commons Anthony Rota has resigned after embarrassing Justin Trudeau and Canada as a whole. Rota invited Yaroslav Hunka, former 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, to speak to the Canadian Parliament to impress Zelensky. The video of Zelensky and Trudeau giving this former Ukrainian Nazi a standing ovation is circulating the internet.

Trudeau had the opportunity to vet this individual before he arrived in Parliament. He is equally as responsible as Rota, if not more so, since he is the man in charge. Justin Trudeau has refused to recognize the role he played in this debacle. However, he did note that this was an embarrassment for all of Canada, especially amid the Jewish holidays.

In fact, according to Trudeau, Russian aggression and propaganda led him to salute a Nazi on the world stage. Russia has called the claims “outrageous” and “sloppy.” “Such sloppiness of memory is outrageous. Many Western countries, including Canada, have raised a young generation that does not know who fought whom or what happened during the Second World War. And they know nothing about the threat of fascism,” a Kremlin spokesperson said. He is indeed correct as history is continually rewritten.

Blaming Russia was not enough for Trudeau. Anthony Rota was forced to leave his position in shame. “It’s with a heavy heart that I rise to inform members of my resignation as Speaker for the House of Commons,” Rota read aloud to his peers. “I reiterate my profound regret for my error in recognizing an individual in the House during the joint address to Parliament of President Zelensky,” he continued, noting, “that public recognition has caused pain to individuals and communities including the Jewish community in Canada and around the world, in addition to survivors of Nazi atrocities in Poland, among other nations.”

Obviously, Zelensky did not apologize or discuss the connection between the Nazi Party and current branches of Ukraine’s military. Justin Trudeau humiliated himself here. Canadians see that he threw Rota under the bus as a scapegoat for the whole incident, and no one respects a person incapable of accepting blame. The video will live on in the archives of the internet and everyone will remember the day Trudeau and Zelensky saluted and cheered a Nazi.

Cuban Troops Fight for Russia


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Sep 28, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Cubans are no strangers to Western sanctions and aggression. Around 72% of Cubans live below the poverty line. “You can be a nuclear physicist and still die of hunger here,” one man told Politico, adding that he could not even afford toilet paper on his salary. Food insecurity remains a serious problem. GDP is expected to grow by 2% this year, but remains eight percentage points behind pre-pandemic levels. Desperate Cubans are now signing up to fight alongside Russian soldiers for citizenship and the opportunity to earn a living wage.

The Soviet Union helped Cuba during its 1959 revolution. Cuba and the Soviet Union paired up to fight in Angola as well. Cuba has remained neutral amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and basically has nothing to offer either side besides fighters. Putin announced in November 2022 that anyone wishing to fight for Russia would receive fast-track naturalization. The average salary in Cuba as of 2020 was about $9,500. One person told Politico they were offered a one-year teaching contract to aid troops in language exams for $2,100 per month plus a $2,000 sign-on bonus.

However, defecting to Russia is highly illegal. Recruiters have been arrested for running what the Cuban government deemed a “human trafficking network” to recruit new soldiers. These recruiters are seemingly looking for anyone as military experience is not a requirement. Worse, some news outlets are reporting that many Cubans have been tricked into joining the Russian military after being promised work away from the warzone.

Either way, can you blame them? The desperate people of failed Communist nations are literally starving and most men would do anything for their families. Nothing is fair during war and Russia is looking to recruit men from the most vulnerable nations to fight as they need to increase their military by at least 1.15 million service members.

Canada’s Speaker of House Resigns After Leading Chamber Celebration for Nazi War Criminal with Trudeau and Zelenskyy


Posted originally on the CTH on September 26, 2023 | Sundance | 317 Comments

As hard as it might be to believe, Canada gave 98-year-old Nazi war criminal, Yaroslav Hunka, a standing ovation in the House of Commons.  Speaker Anthony Rota drew attention to Hunka and introduced him as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.  However, the First Ukrainian Division also was known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, or the SS 14th Waffen Division, a Ukrainian unit of Nazis under the command of German Nazis.

Earlier today, as a result of the world discovering that Canada was harboring Nazi fugitive Yaroslav Hunka, the Polish government requested his return to Europe to stand trial for war crimes.  The entire episode has become a major political embarrassment for Canada.  Moments after Poland sent their letter to Canada, the Speaker of the House of Commons resigned.  WATCH:

From fighting Nazis, to giving them a standing ovation in the Canadian House of Commons.  Quite an arc of history here; where arc’s might be shaped like pretzels.

Zelensky and Trudeau Give Nazi Standing Ovation


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 26, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Is the propaganda working yet? Do you believe the West is really the good guy here? Ukraine and Russia continually point the finger and accuse the other of supporting Nazis. Well, jet-setting Zelensky recently visited Canada’s Parliament where they invited a literal former Nazi from World War II to speak. Yaroslav Hunka, former 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, received a standing ovation.

The 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS was a voluntary division composed of Ukrainians. Hunka retired to Canada after the war and was never punished for his crimes. Trudeau thought it would be a good idea for him to visit Ottawa and speak on Ukraine and Canada’s cooperation during wartime. Trudeau is making House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota take the heat for inviting Hunka. “I wish to make clear that no one, including fellow parliamentarians and the Ukraine delegation, was aware of my intention or of my remarks before I delivered them,” Rota said, although he previously called the Nazi volunteer “a Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero.”

Jewish rights groups are not accepting the apology. The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) said they were shocked to see the Canadian government celebrating the Nazis. “There should be no confusion that this unit was responsible for the mass murder of innocent civilians with a level of brutality and malice that is unimaginable,” the group stated. Trudeau has not personally apologized. Poilievre took to X to explain that Trudeau played a direct role in this embarrassing situation: “No parliamentarians (other than Justin Trudeau) had the opportunity to vet this individual’s past before he was introduced and honoured on the floor of the House of Commons. Without warning or context, it was impossible for any parliamentarian in the room (other than Mr. Trudeau) to know of this dark past.”

The modern-day Nazis continue to support Ukraine. Zelensky has already received $6.7 billion from Canada and is ready to pocket more. So, you decide if the West is still the “good guy” in this growing conflict.

Russell Brand Issues Statement After British Govt Target Him for Removal from Social Media Platforms


Posted originally on the CTH on September 22, 2023 | Sundance 

The Sunday Times, a Rupert Murdoch publication in the U.K, published a hit piece against Russell Brand accusing him of rape and sexual assault 20-years ago.  It did not take long before the accusations triggered the cancel culture and YouTube demonetized the actor and pundit.  Russell Brand has vehemently denied the allegations.

However, in a remarkable escalation the U.K Parliament is now targeting Russell Brand.  The British government has sent a letter to U.S. social media companies, including video platform provider Rumble demanding they take action against Brand.  Not only is the British government targeting an individual and demanding action over an unproven allegation, but they are also sending a letter to the U.S. company demanding acquiescence to their censorship demand.

Standing solidly on the side of freedom, Rumble said no. However, now Rumble is the subject of a global smear campaign using a variety of media outlets and constructed controversies.  Today, Russell Brand responded to the overall effort by the British government. {Direct Rumble Link}  WATCH

Pix System in Brazil


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Sep 21, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

You likely have not heard of the Pix system unless you live in Brazil. Pix is an “instant payment ecosystem” launched on November 16, 2020, by Brazil’s central bank (BCB). Pix primarily works through the use of QR codes that users use to access their digital accounts for payments. The pandemic helped push people to digitalized banking, and now the system has surpassed the use of credit and debit cards.

About 30% of all transactions in 2022 happened on the Pix system, compared to only 20% via credit cards and 19% on debit cards. Three billion monthly transactions take place through Pix and that figure continues to grow. “The adoption of Pix in society has been very intense,” commented Carlos Eduardo Brandt, head of Pix Operations at the Central Bank of Brazil. Two-thirds of the entire population of Brazil now uses Pix as it has become ingrained in everyday life. Cash transactions are in decline, dropping by a quarter since 2020. However, Brazilians once preferred cash and those in rural areas accepted their wages in the Real.

The International Monetary Fund is pleased with the success of Pix and has been studying its success. The IMF published a study this July entitled, “Pix: Brazil’s Successful Instant Payment System.” “The authorities are now able to track monthly payment and related economic activity on a granular basis by geographical location, types of transactions, and borrowers, including by age group,” the study notes. The IMF says that mandatory participation by the big banks was one of the contributing factors to Pix’s adaptation.

Every central bank is developing its own CBDC. The goal of the globalists is to combine these digital currencies into one centralized database. Although Pix is not a CBDC, it has served the purpose of acclimating the banks, merchants, and users to the idea of a cashless society.

British Parliament Demands Rumble Video Platform Remove or Demonetize Russell Brand – Rumble Says NO!


Posted originally on the CTH on September 20, 2023 | Sundance 

This is quite a remarkable development.  The Sunday Times, a Rupert Murdoch publication in the U.K, published a hit piece against Russell Brand accusing him of rape and sexual assault 20-years ago.  It did not take long before the accusations triggered the cancel culture and YouTube demonetized the actor and pundit.  Russell Brand has vehemently denied the allegations.

Rumble has previously stood strong against the demands of the French government, and once again stands at the forefront of freedom in responding to the UK demand.

Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski responded to the U.K govt and shared his response on Twitter.  “We emphatically reject the UK Parliament’s demands.”

In an era where social media are more than willing to crawl into bed with the censorship demands of government, looking at you Elon, it is refreshing to see a platform refuse to be pushed into a position of censorship.

Well done Team Rumble.

Now let’s ask why billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch is targeting opinions that might run against the official government narratives?   I seem to remember someone warning about an increased effort to remove specific entities and platforms that will not adhere to official government positions.

The Gates of Hell


Armstrong Economics Blog/WEF Re-Posted Sep 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

I think Bill Gates will go down in history as in the list of the top 5 demons who have waged war against humanity. He represents what some call the Gates of Hell. Nobody will stop this guy; he is out to reduce the world’s population, no different than Hitler or Stalin. Nothing this guy does shows he cares about humanity. The Telegraph reported back in September 2018:

“The billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has delivered a stark warning on population growth in Africa, saying if left unchecked, it could unravel decades of progress and fuel instability across the globe.”

Gates pretends to care about society with his FORCE vaccines. Yet this is contrary to all his efforts that claim we are doomed unless we REDUCE population as his father did with abortions and Planned Parenthood.

They were very clever in telling women it was their RIGHT to kill their children. Ruth Bader Ginsburg made it clear when she got to the Supreme Court it had NOTHING to do with women’s rights — it was all about reducing the population, especially among minorities, not much different than Hitler with his Aryan Race. Just last year, Gates launched a program for condoms in Africa. Even back in 2013, GATES SWORE HE WOULD REINVENT THE CONDOM.

Why would ANYONE believe Gates on anything? These vaccines are NOT intended to help society. Klaus Schwab also makes the short-list of the greatest threat to humanity. His World Economic Forum joined Bill Gates-controlled GAVI to promote using biometric tracking technology to force-vaccinate African children to take Gates’ malaria vaccine that does not even work. This vaccine produced deadly meningitis in at least one out of a hundred children receiving four doses.

NOBODY will stop the WEF or Bill Gates because our career politicians sanction whatever they want to do if perhaps the bribes are big enough.
