Chicago – Flight from the City

Re-Posted Sep 2, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: My son-in-law’s mother works in (an area of) urban Chicago as a Nurse, a small enclave (that at this time is considered safe)…she spoke to a Chicago Policeman – he told her to get out as soon as she can &to learn to use a gun and get one. He said the Nut jobs that are running the city ( Lori Lightfoot – Mayor ) are letting it descend into chaos.

I hope the end is very near…

REPLY: This has become a real nightmare. In their desire to make Trump look bad, they are destroying their own cities. Now 6 Democratic mayors in Minnesota have switched parties and are endorsing Trump. You really have to wonder who’s strategy this has been. The very people who pay taxes expect to have security. With that gone, they are leaving in droves. This chart is the breakdown of the migration out of Illinois because of taxes BEFORE the riots. Chicago is just hopeless.

The Push to 5G – Why?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Technology

Re-Posted Sep 2, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

There has been a lot of turmoil over 5G and whether this virus was somehow related. That much I can say is just a conspiracy theory for this virus that has all the hallmarks of being created in a lab. I am always concerned about conspiracy theories because this is how the opposition discredits anything. They deliberately put out stupid statements that can be easily exposed and then the process is if that is fake, so is everything else. I am very careful to stay away from such tactics for I am very much aware of how they are used to discredit valid questions.

There is no question that the prevalence of wireless technologies has spawned a telecommunications revolution. Many people no longer even have a land-line telephone. They use cellular. That has certainly increased our exposure to broader and higher frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum as we transmit data through a variety of devices. The telecom industry is now promoting 5G to replace the current 4G cellular network. This new generation of higher frequency 5G wavelengths to power the “Internet of Things,” has been marketed as promoting faster data processing that will lead to a whole new generation of amazing new gadgets. They claim this will change our lifestyle and bring it closer to Star Trek.

The question is rather simple. 5G will cut the download time from 20 seconds to 10. However, 5G will require a massive telecommunications network with far more wireless antennas. This will mean that there will be greater radiofrequency radiation. While most are focusing on the increased health risks, such as an article published in Environmental Research, and we are looking at the next generation being exposed to higher levels of microwave radiofrequency, any true assessment of the health consequences is really down to speculation. We may not know the outcome for years or decades. As far back as 2000, there have been people warning about microwave absorption in the Brain and that wireless networks were dangerous as well as laptops. There have been scientists who have stated that there is no reason to assume 5G is safe.

Nonetheless, while all the discussion is focused on health, what seems to be overlooked is WHY? Do we really need to increase the speed? The real reason for 5G is being rolled out is not for amazing new gadgets, but for digital currency with instant payments and 100% surveillance. This Pandemic is being used to not only suppress the protests against 5G but to accomplish it in time for the replacement of the monetary system with a new digital currency among nations. They allowed BitCoin and others to pave the way, but now it will be time to outlaw private cryptocurrencies and force them into government digital currencies. Welcome to 5G – the new instant surveillance network to keep track of everything and everyone.

Predicting Civil Unrest


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest

Re-Posted Sep 2, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The reason the government is monitoring all emails, social media posts, and twitter feeds, is very simple. This is seen as a database from which the prediction of social unrest becomes possible. There is a study titled “Social Network Structure as a Predictor of Social Behavior: The Case of Protest in the 2016 US Presidential Election” which examined the use of all forms of social media from emails to posts in the anti-Trump protests that erupted following the 2016 presidential elections.

This study was funded by the US Army Research Laboratory which concluded that post-elections protests could have been predicted by analyzing millions of American citizens’ Twitter posts. Basically, by monitoring everything, they believe they can forecast civil unrest based upon information activity bursts in social media. This is why the government is now engaged in extensive real-time monitoring of American citizens’ social media.

This approach, while appearing logical, only is capable of tracking the final outrage. It lacks the ability to actually forecast civil unrest which emerges from economic conditions. Even the Black Lives Matter movement grew BECAUSE of the lockdowns where people lost their jobs. There have been plenty of black men killed wrongly by police. Remember Ferguson? The sustainability of this movement has been directly enabled by rising unemployment. Suddenly, people were off work and were available to join the protests.

Maximum Antagonism – Judge Sullivan Files Order Dragging Out Flynn Case Past Election…


Posted originally on The Conservative tree house on September 1, 2020 by 

The minute order filed by Judge Emmet Sullivan outlines a protracted time-frame for the next sequence of events in the case against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn:

As noted in the order, Sullivan is now telling the DOJ and Flynn defense to file a joint status report outlining their “recommendation for further proceedings” by September 21, 2020.  From there a briefing schedule which will require both parties to respond to Sullivan’s personal amicus (Gleeson), and additionally respond jointly to any other amicus not ordered by the court.   Lastly, Sullivan is requesting three dates for oral arguments.

In essence, despite his ability to quickly convene the parties to settle all matters before the court; which includes the unopposed motion by the DOJ and defense to drop the case; Sullivan intends to drag this case out as long as possible and use the amicus as a tool forcing responses from both parties (DOJ and Flynn).  So much for the “quick dispatch” outlined within the DC Circuit opinion, this case is going on for several more months.

Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot: AG Bill Barr Announces Intent to Codify, Permanently, a Two-Tiered Justice System for FISA…

However, this ¹second memorandum is just mind-blowing from the perspective of someone around the table at Main Justice not saying to the United States Attorney General:

…Um, sir, you do realize a different set of FISA rules and surveillance regulations for politicians, advisors and their staff means you are codifying a two-tiered system within the administration of justice, right?

Desperado Dems Clinging To A State of Denial


Democrats remain in an unmovable State of Denial

Desperado Dems Clinging To A State of Denial

Democrats are no longer interested in winning Election 2020—but only in making sure that President Donald Trump loses it.

The Democrats have figured out that not allowing Trump to win is their ONLY way of winning.

The Democrats are in the same State of Denial that they’ve been in ever since Election 2016 —and are completely unable to move forward in any way.

It matters not that the Sara Carter-dubbed “Joe Hidin’” won’t be coming out of his lair, or that the Democratic National Convention went down as a total virtual one—without any of the electorate involved.  It doesn’t matter if Biden shows a lack of cognitive skills, or if his VP running mate Kamala Harris is anything but a “pragmatic moderate”.

Biden and Harris are there only to make the public believe that 2020 is just another election, until the party can successfully pull off its final post-2016 coup d’état.

On Election Night, no winner will be declared and for weeks and even months after, Democrats will claim more time is needed to recount the Mail-In Votes, designed by Barack and Michelle Obama.

Mainstream and social media will report myriad new Russian interference stories, and return ad nauseam to the fake Russian interference in the 2016 election.

If the 2020 winner can’t be named by what should have been the true winner’s rightful Inauguration Day, a temporary ‘president’ (likely House Speaker Nancy Pelosi) will be chosen to fill in the gap.  Pelosi won’t have to tear up the winner’s Inauguration address this time, she will have all tuning in to watch her, tearing their own hair out.

Clinging to the pandemic scare, which was used to allow the universal Mail-In Vote, the masses will remain face masked in home lockdown.

With the masses out of play, all Democrat energy and time will be feeding the media stories about how they discovered that Donald Trump stole the election—for a second time!

How do we know that this is our destiny?

From the words of failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and House Speaker Pelosi:

‘Nancy Pelosi says Joe Biden should not debate Trump at all’ (New York Post, Aug. 27, 2020)

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden should not debate President Trump before Election Day.

“I don’t think that there should be any debates,” Pelosi volunteered at the end of a press briefing.

“Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she wanted debates scrapped to not “legitimize a conversation with [Trump]” because he lacks “any association with truth.”

“She also said Biden should deny the president an opportunity to “act in a way that is beneath the dignity of the presidency.”

“I thought what he did in 2016 was disgraceful, stalking Hillary Clinton like that. I was disappointed that the press didn’t say, ‘Go back to your station,’” Pelosi said.
“The leading Democrat’s call for Biden to sit out the debates comes after the former vice president’s campaign refused Trump’s request for more than three debates.

“Trump senses an opportunity against Biden after using debating forums to crush a series of competitors in 2016. This month, Trump unsuccessfully asked the Commission on Presidential Debates to reschedule one of the debates with Biden to early September, so voters could tune in before casting mail-in ballots.

“Trump often claims Biden, 77, is senile, and on Wednesday suggested that Biden be drug-tested before the debates to make sure he doesn’t use performance-enhancing drugs.

“The first debate is scheduled for Sept. 29 in Cleveland, Ohio, followed by an Oct. 15 debate in Miami, Florida, and an Oct. 22 debate in Nashville, Tennessee.

“Biden campaign spokesmen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”

No one need wonder why.

‘Hillary Clinton says Joe Biden should not concede on election night ‘under any circumstances’ (Fox News, Aug. 26, 2020)

“Hillary Clinton issued a warning for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in a new interview released Tuesday, urging the former vice president to not concede defeat on the night of the Nov. 3 election — no matter the circumstances.

“Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances,” Clinton said. “Because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually, I do believe he will win, if we don’t give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is.”

“Clinton, a former secretary of state under then-President Barack Obama, made the remarks during an interview on Showtime’s “The Circus,” part of which was released Tuesday.

“Millions of Americans are expected to vote by mail this November due to the coronavirus pandemic, increasing the chances the winner of the presidential race won’t immediately be known on election night. State election officials in several key battleground states have warned it could take days to count the votes, given the influx of absentee and mail-in ballots they expect to receive.

“The result has been a partisan battle over voting by mail, exacerbated by fears among some Democrats over operational changes implemented at the U.S. Postal Service by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a longtime Republican fundraiser.

“DeJoy approved changes to the agency aimed at cutting costs, including prohibiting overtime, shutting down sorting machines early and requiring carriers to leave mail behind when necessary to avoid extra trips or late delivery on routes. But he’s since reversed course, saying the changes to the Postal Service will be suspended until after the November election.

“Democratic leaders have accused the White House of trying to hamper mail delivery and suppress votes.

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at the end of July that Trump’s attacks on voting by mail are part of a broader effort to sow confusion and suppress voter turnout for the election.

“The reason he does it is because the more people hear something like that, the more they’re discouraged to vote,” Pelosi said during an interview with CNN’s Brianna Keilar. “It’s a way to suppress the vote.”

“Obama echoed that sentiment in a tweet in mid-August.

“Trump has repeatedly raised concerns of fraud involving mail-in voting, a fear that he reignited on Monday during the first night of the Republican National Convention.

“What they’re doing is using COVID to steal an election,” Trump said. “They’re using COVID to defraud the American people, all of our people, of a fair and free election. We can’t do that.”

“So far, nine states — a majority of which are run by Democratic governors — have said they intend to mail ballots to all voters.”

Between now and Election Day, Democrats—continuing to look the other way on the mobs leaving Democrat Blue Cities look like war zones—are blaming Trump for the carnage.

Democrats are holding out hope that the masses will blame the president and not them in their attempt to get away with it.

Meanwhile, don’t look forward to November 3 as the ending of the destruction of the word’s only superpower, because the Democrats remain in an unmovable State of Denial.

Democrats and Mainstream Media Finally See The Violence…Why Now?


Hold them accountable for their lack of action at the polls in November, 2020!

Democrats and Mainstream Media Finally See The Violence…Why Now?

For months, Joe Biden and Democrats have refused to acknowledge the violence erupting in Democratic cities across the United States. Mainstream media jumped on board with their democratic cohorts and claimed the violence was a myth.

After 98 days of unrest, burning, looting and murder, Democrats finally step up and admit it is happening. But, even though Democrats are in control of every city that is under siege, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the mainstream media blame Trump.

What has caused the sudden jump to reality by the Biden campaign and the media’s sudden change of heart? The polls have indicated that the voters are fed up. Over 72% of Americans are concerned with the violence in their cities, with 62% acknowledging it will effect their vote in November, 2020.

So, now we know the real reason in the abrupt shift of opinion. It didn’t matter to Democrats while businesses were looted and burned. It didn’t matter to Democrats when innocent victims were attacked and murdered. It didn’t matter to Democrats when children were attacked and killed. It didn’t matter to Democrats when law enforcement was attacked and ridiculed. NO, Democrats and the mainstream media called for defunding the police. They were not interested in protecting their constituents. Joe Biden’s campaign actually funded bailouts of looters and burners as they were arrested. In response to the donated funds in a Reuters article, (reuters.com/…/us-minneapolis-police-biden-bail-idUSKBN2360SZ) Trump responded quickly.

” It is “disturbing” that Biden’s team “would financially support the mayhem that is hurting innocent people and destroying what good people spent their lives building.”

What did Democrats have to say?

Nancy Pelosi: “People will do what they do.”

Jerry Nadler: “The violence is a myth”

Ayanna Pressley: “You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there’s unrest in our lives”

Chris Cuomo: “Show me where it says protestors are supposed to be peaceful.” ( the constitution, you idiot)

Don Lemon: “The rioting has to stop as you know and I know it is showing up in the polls and the focus groups, Chris. It is the only thing right now that is sticking”

Mayor Lori Lightfoot:  “I think that residents of this city, understanding the nature of the threats that we are receiving on a daily basis, on a daily basis, understand I have a right to make sure that my home is secure.” (hers, but certainly not yours)

Did it matter to Democrats that over 400 law enforcement officers were injured on the job during the so-called “peaceful” protests? What about the 60 secret service agents and 40 US Park Police? What about the innocent Americans that were physically attacked, humiliated or killed by these so-called peaceful protestors? How many family built businesses have been destroyed by looting and burning? How long do law abiding, tax paying, hard working American people have to suffer before Democrats take control of the willful violence occurring in their cities?

Although Biden and the Democratic Party are finally acknowledging the violence, the reason for their fake concern is even more disturbing. Polls, polls, polls. They are so out of touch, they can’t recognize the damage that has been and continues to be done to cities and their populations across the US, but have to be shown polls confirming they are losing support among voters for the 2020 election. SHAMEFUL!

They continue to do what they have always done. They ignore their accountability in the violence, they refuse to hold rioters responsible, they will not protect the American people and they continue to blame President Donald Trump for everything.

Hold them accountable for their lack of action at the polls in November, 2020!

Parksville & Qualicum Beach in BC, Canada Outlaw COVID Restrictions


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada

Re-Posted Sep 1, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: In a historic act of direct democracy last night, the Oceanside Common Law Assembly (OCLA) passed a Public Safety Bylaw that prohibits COVID restrictions and mandatory distancing, masking, quarantines, and vaccinations anywhere in the communities of Parksville and Qualicum Beach on Canada’s west coast.

As of today, anyone who tries to impose COVID regulations on the people of these communities can face fines and imprisonments by OCLA and its Common Law Court.

Citing International law, the Assembly Bylaw states that these COVID regulations “are unlawful, unwarranted and medically unsound measures that threaten and assault the fundamental liberties, health and security of the people of our community …Therefore it is ordered that no-one is obligated to consent to or comply with any of these regulations … and anyone is free to actively resist and disobey such regulations and measures by any means necessary without fear of legal consequence.”

The Bylaw concludes by accusing anyone who tries to impose COVID regulations on the community as being part of a criminal conspiracy and threatens them with “penalties and imprisonment upon conviction by the Common Law Court of Parksville … All police authorities are expected and compelled by law to enforce this Bylaw or be charged with obstructing justice and democratic process.”

REPLY: This is good news. I believe that Trump will start to expose this after the election. Dr. Scott Atlas, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, has also come out and said that hydroxychloroquine has become a political issue rather than a medical one. We really do have to stand up to this tyranny for as I have said before, I have met some of these key players and they are clearly trying to take over the world to force change to their agenda.

The real dangerous position here is that they overthrow Trump and then set in motion this entire New Socialist Green Order. I am concerned that if Trump wins the election, they will then try to assassinate him by 2022. These people are on a global mission and they will not rest until the subjugate the entire world. This will only lead to war. They will not be able to subjugate the world. Gates is obsessed with Global Warming and overpopulation.

If You Want to See A Police State – Look At Australia


Armstrong Economics Blog/Australia & Oceania

Re-Posted Sep 1, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I loved Melbourne (Melbin as they pronounce it) and flew there often to meet with mining companies and business leaders. The city with its trams and unique way of driving was always a delight. Now, it is very clear, I will never see that city again. The Police in Melbin are simply supporting the government and appear to be enjoying their new power to run Australia as if it were East Germany behind the Berlin Wall. The oppression of the people in Melbin is truly a violation of human rights. The very same actions have been used as the justification to invade dictators in the Middle East. The police outright attack people and are now arresting people who dare take a walk and give them a full dose of pepper spray. They have even locked up people who simply gave another a hug. The government has stated that wearing masks may be a permanent change to daily life for years to come. This is the overthrow of democracy and the only way these politicians will retain power is to suspend elections.

There have been serious economic impacts caused by these drastic lockdowns in Melbourne which are even affecting people emotionally. Groups are now forming in the western suburbs where people are walking en masse in Guy Fawkes masks. They are planning a protest for the 5th September, which they are calling it Freedom Day. The police are saying if you attend you will have no freedom. It is shocking how the police in Melbourne seems so grateful to be able to act with impunity to do just about anything to people.
