Former PM of Japan Assassinated
Armstrong Economics Blog/Japan Re-Posted Jul 8, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been assassinated in a rare violent attack in Japan. He was shot while delivering a speech in Nara. He was pronounced dead at 5:03 p.m. local time at the hospital. The assassin was captured, Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, who may have served in the Maritime Self-Defense Force back in the 2000s. He apparently used a homemade gun, which shows that in a country with some of the strictest gun laws in the entire world, it still does not prevent such acts.
Violent crime in the United States peaked in 1991 and bottomed in 2014 with our model on civil unrest and the war cycle. It appears that because of the lockdowns, this may have pushed many on-the-edge people over the edge for we are witnessing mass shootings and senseless violent crimes like people killing someone over a parking spot. This appears to be unfolding worldwide. In this case, the guy made his own gun. This is a trend that is starting to appear in the United States where guns are not traceable.
The Georgia Guidestones Destroyed
Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Jul 8, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
Who is the mysterious R.C. Christian who erected the Georgia Guidestones in March 1980? These four nearly 20-feet monuments were mysteriously built decades ago before they were destroyed this week on July 6, 2022. After the initial bombing, the government destroyed the rest of the monument under the excuse of it being a structural hazard.
There is a theory that the structure was originally constructed during the Cold War to act as a guide to survivors of a nuclear disaster. Fears of impending nuclear war were widespread back then, and someone, likely a group, provided a guide for how to rebuild civilization. Let these be Guidestones to an Age of Reason,” are etched into the stone that contains writing in English, Russian, Mandarin, Arabic, Hebrew, Swahili, Spanish, and Hindi. Those responsible wanted to ensure that their message was read by whoever survived doomsday.
The 10 commands on the Guidestones seem eerily similar to the World Economic Forum’s current plans.
- Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
- Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
- Unite humanity with a living new language.
- Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
- Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
- Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
- Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
- Balance personal rights with social duties.
- Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
- Be not a cancer on the Earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.

In the above documentary, there are numerous people who claim to have met the mysterious R.C. Christian, but this cannot be confirmed. The man did exist, however, and mysteriously disappeared shortly after the construction of the monument. He left behind a tablet explaining the astrological significance of where he placed the stones. The four giant granite tablets are aligned with the celestial poles, while the middle stone contains an eye-level hole that points to the North Star and aligns with sun solstices and equinoxes. There was a sundial calendar of sorts placed within the structure as the sun would shine through the slit at noon every day.
A lot of detail went into the placement and message placed on this structure that has remained an unsolved mystery for decades. There are deeper connections to this monument and ongoing globalist groups who also desire to unite a decreased population under one language in a one-world socialist government. Who destroyed the monument this week and why?
British Politics – Johnson Resigns Taking the Pound With Him
Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN Re-Posted Jul 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; You rather bluntly rejected meeting with our PM. It looks like you were correct. Will we now turn to Labour to kill the British pound?
HJ
ANSWER: Boris Johnson is a disgrace. I had heard that he was untrustworthy and I think he has tried to lie his way out of too many scandals. The Conservatives upheld him in the last no-confidence vote and that in itself was disgusting. The Conservatives had completed a 13-year run. Labour was in for 13 years before. Maggie had placed the Conservatives in power and that lasted for 18 years until the Conservatives mounted a coup because they wanted to take the pound into the euro.
It was only the ERM Crisis when they overvalued the pound which created the opportunity for Soros that prevented the Conservatives from joining the euro. Ironically, it was George Soros that prevented the pound from joining the euro which made him rich, and then he used his money to try to prevent Britain from exiting the EU.
I wrote that report and gave it the name “It’s Just Time” after Maggie Thatcher. She had a natural instinct about cycles. Without asking me about what the computer was forecasting, she said the Conservatives would lose years in advance because they had been in power too long. She said to me: “It’s just time.” She flew to the States to speak at our World Economic Conference back in the ’90s.
Johnson came to power after exiting Britain from the European Union and the 2019 election victory gave the Tories their largest House of Commons majority since Thatcher’s day in the mid-1980s. Johnson has mismanaged the British economy from stupid lockdowns and holding secret drunken parties while locking down the country. It was Britain that started the lockdowns with the childish computer program that was no better than the game Sim City. Gates seems to have bought and paid for the entire British lockdown that was then sold to the rest of the world. Johnson’s reign of economic terror has come to an end, but not without taking the pound with him.
Johnson was forced to resign thanks to mass resignations. This was on time for the July turning point but now look at August that the computer targeted as a Panic Cycle. We still see the British pound testing the 1985 low of $1.03 and it will eventually break that low in the years ahead. Our forecast for the decline and fall of the British pound keeps unfolding with uncanny accuracy.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and President Donald Trump were friends before Mr. Trump entered politics. First lady Melania Trump and Akie Abe were also friends, and the two couples spent a great deal of time together before and during President Trump’s term in office.
Following the assassination attempt, President Trump released the following statement via Truth Social: “Absolutely devastating news that former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan, a truly great man and leader, has been shot, and is in very serious condition. He was a true friend of mine and, much more importantly, America. This is a tremendous blow to the wonderful people of Japan, who loved and admired him so much. We are all praying for Shinzo and his beautiful family!”

The very popular Shinzo Abe, a longtime friend of President Trump, stepped down as Prime Minister of Japan in 2020, but has been campaigning for various politicians as he remains active in politics. An assassin shot him moments ago:
TOKYO — Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot and gravely injured while campaigning Friday in south-central Japan, according to public broadcaster NHK.
Abe, Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, was giving a speech in the city of Nara when he was shot around 11:30 a.m. (10:30 p.m. Thursday ET). NHK, citing the local fire department, reported that Abe was in a state of “cardiopulmonary arrest.” It said the suspected shooter appeared to have been apprehended.
Elections for the upper house of the Japanese Parliament are Sunday. Abe, 67, who stepped down in 2020, was campaigning for other members of the governing Liberal Democratic Party but is not a candidate himself. (LINK)

Oil and Gasoline Prices Start Moderating as Economy and Consumer Demand Drops
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 7, 2022 | Sundance
The Energy Information Agency has finally updated “on road” diesel prices after a month of frozen data [SEE HERE]. Conspicuously, the technical “glitch” correction is resolved [statement here] as the price for diesel starts to drop a little.
Oil prices are showing a drop in price, and subsequently gasoline prices are starting to moderate. Unfortunately, as noted at The Hill, the drop in price is not related to an increase in production, but rather a decline in consumer demand.
WASHINGTON – The price of U.S. crude oil was hovering around $98 per barrel on Wednesday afternoon, down from about $108 late last week. Brent crude fell to about $101 per barrel, down from about $111 late last week.
[…] “We’re on the cusp of seeing more savings,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at gas price tracking site GasBuddy. “I’m trying to be a little bit optimistic here that this relief could make its entire way to the pump in the weeks ahead.”
[…] “The average price per gallon could fall 40 to 65 cents over the coming weeks,” he said, adding that the drop could be over a three- to six-week period.
“Stations are getting lower prices already,” he added. “Prices could go down a penny or two every day or two for the next six weeks as long as nothing changes.”
Experts say the decline is a double-edged sword, since the cheaper price isn’t due to any real changes on the supply side but rather to consumers scaling back their expenses and pulling down the expectation of demand. (read more)
With factory demand dropping precipitously, claims for unemployment starting to increase, consumers being squeezed by continued inflation in energy, gasoline, food and housing, we would expect to see a drop in oil prices for all the wrong reasons. Supply is not increasing, consumers are cutting back on all activities, including driving. A recession always leads to lower oil prices.
This information comes on the heels of Reuters publishing an explosive article about oil from the Strategic Oil Reserve being released and sold to foreign countries rather than used for refineries in the United States.
(Reuters) – More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency reserves release to lower domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices hit record highs. (read more)
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson Resigns

Facing a blistering amount of criticism for several false statements, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced today he was resigning.
Prime Minister Johnson took to the podium outside Ten Downing Street with a massive number of cameras and media microphones awaiting his predictable announcement.
The Daily Mail has all the details – SEE HERE.
I would not be surprised to see the British leftists try to use this opportunity and overthrow the Brexit movement, fighting -once again- to get back into the European Union.
