The Decline & Fall of the Global Economy


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re- Posted Mar 13, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

There are a host of Republicans writing to Biden that he should send planes to Ukraine. These people in Washington are always quick to spill the blood of other people’s children – not their own. I find it appalling that you do not hear a single world that Zelensky should compromise on anything. His refusal to let the two provinces be independent which was promised them in the Mink Agreement back in 2014 is unnecessarily putting his entire country at risk for some antiquated theory of imperialism. It was the USSR that drew the borders of Ukraine. It was not an independent country in itself until modern times.

Instead, Zelensky is trying to drag the entire world into World War III, and make no mistake about it, do that and you will find that China is partners with Russia. There is no doubt that Russia should go ahead and nationalize all the foreign companies that left Russia over this Ukraine issue. Even Warren Buffet started dumping Apple stock. Never in all my career have I watched corporations make such stupid decisions. There is no such thing as “temporarily” closing businesses. Biden has destroyed the world economy with sanctions and confiscated the assets of private Russians. There will be no return because there is no way that Russia can now yield to the demand of the West. So they will never return and the assets left behind might as well be nationalized for the world economy as we have known it has been destroyed.

Once Biden removed Russia from SWIFT, which refused to do so when asked by Obama during 2014 and Crimea, that was the first blow to the world economy. SWIFT has undermined the entire world showing that it is no longer about supporting global interaction, but it is just now a political tool. China now has no choice but to move ahead on its own replacement. Hence, that was the first blow to ending the global economy. The second was Biden confiscating the personal assets of Russians rather than keeping this between governments. This has created a Waterfall Crisis whereas the global economy as we once knew it has come to an end. You cannot do business with the United States for they can invade a country, never be sanctioned, but if anyone else does what they do it becomes war. Whoever is making these sorts of decisions clearly has no sense of integrity, history, or international relations.

Biden will be remembered as the man that began the decline and fall of the American Empire.

Ukraine the Real Story


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Mar 12, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Former national security adviser John Bolton that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin was “waiting” for a possible United States withdrawal from NATO, claiming former President Donald Trump would have likely made such a move had he been reelected, The Hill reports.
I also see that Steve Bannon is going after Hannity for jumping off the Putin wagon and also Pence letting the orange turd know he is also. They eat their own in the republican party…

REPLY: Bolton was a plant in the Trump Administration. The Deep State selected Trump’s cabinet. I am not speculating. I myself was asked to take the position of Chief Economic Adviser during the Bush Jr. Administration and declined. Bolton is a warmonger. He came out against Trump because he wanted to exit Afghanistan. I went to Mar-a-Lago for a private dinner and I was shocked. It was the very first time I EVER heard a president say it bothered him to send letters to parents and received bodies of American soldiers who died in Afghanistan and he said for what? “They have been fighting over borders for a thousand years. What difference are we going to make.” Never have I ever heard any president concerned about American life.

You may hate Trump, but what you have voted for is the start of the Decline and Fall of Western Civilization. You can deny everything and Bolton can spin his BS. Biden is now blaming Putin for the rise in gas prices when from the outset he promised to “end fossil fuels” and immediately took that position. These sanctions against Russia are also to accomplish the same ends – terminating fossil fuels because these people really think there are only 7 years left and that was 2 years ago.

Remember Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) which was a scheduled passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur? It was shot down on July 17, 2014, while flying over Eastern Ukraine. All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed. Immediately the US accused Russia and then imposed sanctions on them. It was shot down by the Ukrainian Nazis with an old Russian missile that Russia was no longer using. They did so trying to get the US to enter their revolution against Russians living there in Donestk. Why has Zelensky refused to allow those people to vote? Russia had no motive to shoot down that flight and it was not over Russian territory. It was a false flag to try to blame Russia by the very Ukrainian Nazis who support Zelensky.

You should watch the film Ukraine on Fire by Oliver Stone before you make assumptions. People are clueless as to the real story of Ukraine. They too joined the German Nazis and also engaged in the genocide of Poles, Jews, and Russians. They were notorious but BECAUSE they also hated Russians. For this reason, the Ukrainian Nazis were NEVER put on trial for the very same war crimes that the Germans carried out. So your enemy is my friend as they say. You are cheering for Zelensky who is also trying to create World War III not just because he hates Russians allowing the civil war to continue against them, but he is also in league with Schwab and his World Economic Forum seeking to destroy the world economy so they can BUILD BACK BETTER under the economic theories of Schwab.

They used psychological warfare to make sure you hated Trump and voted for Biden not on issues, but solely on your hatred. They are carrying out the very same psychological warfare to get you to also now hate Putin and therefore you will NEVER look at the facts.

This is not an issue of supporting Trump or Putin. This is an issue of supporting humanity against those who think they are God and can reshape the future into the design that they have in their wild imaginations. These people are DESPERATELY trying to create World War III stirring your hatred so you become a mindless pawn in the war games. You might as well wear an explosive vest and blow yourself up for Allah, for they use the very same tactics on young Arab kids to die for their political games as well. Leaders of such movements never blow themselves up – it is convincing others to do so.

The “orange turd” as you say was demonized and his controller was said to be Putin. To accomplish this agenda, they needed to remove Trump, then Putin, and then they will turn on China. Soros, who I believe is behind the funding of Zelensky, is already out starting to demonize Xi Jinping in China where Soros has declared “the greatest threat that open societies face today.” To support their agenda, they have to get you hating China, Russia, and Trump. I believe COVID was created in a lab and deliberately leaked in China and then they call it the CCP virus.

You have no idea what is really going on and if anyone tries to expose it, they dismiss it as conspiracy theory so they never have to answer questions. You probably are also one of those people who couldn’t wait to keep getting vaccine boosters and wore your mask in your car while driving alone. Do you also sleep with a condom on at night when alone just in case?

Neil Oliver Outlines Google Moral Relativism and the Media Approved Hatred Against Russians


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 12, 2022 | Sundance

Neil Oliver takes the opportunity of his weekend monologue to put the context of recent government events into a framework of history.  Oliver eloquently reflects on our current condition, yet far too few people can see it.

As he looks from where he is, Oliver can see we are in a new world order kind of place.  A place where government, big tech social discussion platforms, and the mindful authorities in charge of directing our focus,  have decided in their unilateral magnanimity, to dust off the moral relativism tools, use the fine-tuning mechanism, and target our attention so that we hate the Russians.

Like most of us, Neil Oliver refuses to give the powers that be access to that place in his mind where he determines right from wrong.  Instead, knowing how these same moral relativists have just used COVID to create harm, that has yet to be appropriately quantified, Oliver stands firm with the words of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and says, “fuck off.”  But he says it in a nice way for television.  WATCH:

Propaganda Fail – Former Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, Explains Why Putin Is Worse Than Hitler


Posted originally on the conservative house on March 12, 2022 | Sundance

The far-left can always be guaranteed to go moonbat crazy when they enter the leftist echo chamber of media.  Former Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, did that and more when he made some bizarre comparative statements about Hitler and current Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a factually false statement, McFaul claimed that Adolf Hitler never killed ethnic Germans during his atrocities, then he tried to say that Vladimir Putin is killing ethnic Russians today.  This is not only inaccurate but also bizarre. WATCH:

After MSNBC embarrassingly tweeted the interview excerpt, there was obviously immediate backlash:

All of that said, the statements by former Ambassador McFaul serve as an example of just how far ‘out there’ the propaganda has become.

The extreme statements by media and politicians are quite remarkable and getting worse.

Clueless Kamala Tells Democrat Audience Ukraine Is in NATO Alliance

Just when you think clueless Kammy couldn’t possibly embarrass herself more, she pipes up with statements like this.  Traditionally, one would expect the person representing the office of the vice president to know the members of NATO.   WATCH:

.

On a semi-related note, did you ever wonder if the need for the Ukraine War is a western government distraction connected to the looming economic collapse created by the same western government leadership when they deployed the COVID efforts?

Obviously, the multinationals know they have crushed the monetary system and subsequently set us on a path that destroys the global economy. Are they now using Ukraine to trigger a pre-planned Russian sanction detonation, knowing that will fracture trade markets and create the opening for western digital currencies, which fortuitously sync with the digital identities created by the vax passports?

If you knew a digital currency was going to surface as an international trade currency, wouldn’t there essentially be a race to control who creates it?  Could this outcome be an intended outcome hidden under the guise of a response to a detonation they controlled – an intended outcome that explains why the multinational corporations and WEF are all on board in the specific extremes of the sanctions?

Majority of Americans Sense Something Doesn’t Add Up in the Media Ukraine Narrative


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 12, 2022 | Sundance 

The bad news is the propaganda from the global media and intelligence apparatus is astronomical surrounding the Ukraine narrative.  The good news is that most Americans can sense the background manipulation, even if they cannot quite put a finger on it.

You can see the general sense of distrust across the broad spectrum of discussions online and in almost all social media platforms.  The majority of people sense something just doesn’t add up. While the people who follow political events closely are the ones who can see the more specific details of the manipulation.   Those who were paying closest attention, in the 2014 Ukraine story line, are the ones who see the same methods deployed.

To get a sense of where the close political following group are, I asked the question last night.  The results are not surprising to the high-info crowd, but the responses have stunned the moderate observers:

The roughly 3:1 ratio is remaining consistent [updated results here].  What this shows us is the diminished power of the Mainstream Media, despite almost every outlet parroting the exact same talking points.   The drumbeat of U.S. and global media propaganda is falling upon increasingly deaf ears.

Perhaps this outcome should not be surprising, given the nature of the institutional deployment of the same Ukranian propaganda playbook by western government and media, and yet it is.  The psychological bombardment by every aligned public-private corporate, multinational and government entity, is extreme.  Yet people can see through it.  That says something very positive about the current outlook of people toward government.

Unfortunately, amid the echo chamber that is globalist government, and amid the detachment of national politicians to the perspectives of the citizens they claim to represent, the disconnect between the people and the ruling self-described ‘elites’ is a recipe for either massive change or a more overt totalitarian effort by government officials who will never concede to the will of the majority.  That is our current status.

Our situation is rapidly building toward a zero-sum conflict.

As aligned governments and corporations become more oppressive, more controlling and more authoritarian in their approach, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for them to change direction.  This creates a self-fulling prophecy of conflict between government and people.   History is filled with these examples, and historically it does not end well for the governing minority.

♦ To understand our current position, we should reference the adverse vaccination impacts that are now surfacing as a result of inquiry, research and time.

As more and more independent investigative resources are used to dig deep into the vaccination outcomes, there is a very real possibility – now tending toward probability – that hundreds of thousands of people have been killed or forever harmed physically by the vaccination program.

Harm caused by a mandatory COVID vaccination program is not an issue the global governing authorities can ever admit.  Even if vaccine harm evidence was irrefutable, there’s no way the global governing system – the alignment of pharmaceutical corporations and government – can ever admit they caused death or injury.

With the scale of coercion and forced mandates from the global government vaccination effort very much in the forefront of people’s minds, an admission of death, harm or serious injury would collapse their institutions almost immediately.  At least that is the preeminent opinion within the institutions as evidenced by their vitriol toward anyone who would dare raise the question.

♦ If we take that government overlay and now apply it to the current Ukraine sentiment, we can get a sense for what their threat assessments must now consist of.  The risk of the public discovering that everything about the Ukraine narrative is fraudulent is a risk that creates fear.  The need for control is a reaction to fear.

We are seeing that extreme control effort again right now.  We see it as the media and big tech systems inform the public that any information running counter to the official government position on Ukraine or Russia will be removed and banished from worldwide technology platforms like Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.

All content, including comments on platforms, that challenges the officially sanctioned NATO or global government position on Russia and Ukraine, is considered adverse to the interests of the western global governing authorities.  It is not coincidental the same methods of information control were deployed identically in the previous COVID-19/vaccination narrative.

Yet, despite all of their effort, despite the sheer magnitude of all of it, the majority of people still know something isn’t right.

We are living in an era where the global system is trying desperately to get people to believe in something, and they are deploying every tool in their arsenal to convince and demand compliance.  Yet, the innate nature of the majority knows something just doesn’t feel right about it.

We live in remarkable times.

Live your best life my friends.

Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings, yet do not doubt your ability to sense when things just are not right.

God gave us instincts. Tune them, do not suppress them…

… use them.

Gasoline Price Controls


Armstrong Economics Blog/Energy Re-Posted Mar 11, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

“We are now in very active discussions with our European partners about banning the import of Russian oil to our countries while, of course, at the same time maintaining a steady global supply of oil,” Secretary of State Blinken said on “Meet the Press” on NBC last Sunday. Then we have Biden blaming the price rise of gasoline on Putin ignoring the fact that prices have been soaring before the Ukrainian crisis. This photo is from California months BEFORE the Ukraine manufactured crisis.

Now we have Congressional Democrats who are about to create an even worse shortage by proposing a new tax on large oil companies designed to “curb profiteering” by redirecting profits associated with higher crude oil prices to back drivers. The Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act, introduced by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and co-sponsored by 11 other Democratic senators on Thursday, would collect a portion of the profits companies are currently yielding with oil at its highest premium in more than a decade and return it to consumers as quarterly rebates. This is our problem. We have people in government with ZERO understanding of even how the economy works. Imposing such a tax of this nature will create shortages for it will act as price control.
