QUESTION: What do you think of Trump going after Soros and groups that are seeking to create violence? Is this connected to the Kirk assassination?

D

Soros US must fall

ANSWER: Look, the talk behind the curtain is that a lone shooter did not assassinate Kirk. Forensic experts suggest that he was struck from behind. Everything was wrapped up neatly very fast, and it is the same story, like Oswald was always a lone shooter. What Trump did was to respond to a deliberate effort to create civil unrest in the United States to essentially break up the country and surrender it to the one-world government theory.

If you think for one minute that the far-left has just laid down and surrendered to Trump, you are sadly wrong. This is a war, and they are not about to give up on the crazy WOKENESS theories. Obama is using Kirk to try to divide the country, claiming it is the RIFGHT, never the LEFT. Many are optimistic that the Supreme Court has agreed to take Trump vs Slaughter in December concerning the firing of a member of the Federal Trade Commission. But this is beyond the rule of law. They are not going to use the courts to win against Trump. This is about a deliberate assault to overthrow the Constitution to get the people to ask for that as the solution.

Political Divide
The Great Divide
The Great Divide LEFT vs Right

I do not believe that Kik was assassinated for anything he actually said. He was the symbol of the opposite of the LEFT agenda. Assassinating him would divide the country and create civil unrest, which is the real objective. Look, I have warned many times that REVOLUTION will always come from the LEFT, not the RIGHT, because they have fundamental differences in values. The LEFT always presents itself as the victims of the RIGHT, which is capitalism, etc., whereas the RIGHT are the traditional values and seek to maintain the status quo.

Marx ten commandments socialism
1928 Berlin Revolution

THE LEFT:

Left-wing ideologies (e.g., communism, socialism, anarchism) are fundamentally concerned with class struggleeconomic equality, and the overthrow of existing capitalist or feudal hierarchies. This is why their ideologies have been outlawed even in the Ten Commandments. This goes back into ancient times. It was the LEFT agenda of Sparta that waged the Peloponnesian War to destroy the capitalists in Athens in 404BC. Sparta and Athens represented two completely different ways of life, and each viewed the other’s system as a threat to its own existence. Those struggles influence Marx.

Thus, they always insist that monetary inequality is an inherent failure of the capitalist system or exploitation by a ruling class (e.g., landowners, industrialists, or a monarch). Leftist movements will always mobilize the working class, peasants, and intellectuals around a vision of a revolutionary new order (e.g., a worker’s state, a classless society). The state always represents the interests of the propertied classes. They will crack down on strikes or protests. This confirms the left’s view that the state is an instrument of oppression and that revolution is the only path. Therefore, you will see that the left forms militias (often with international support from other socialist states) to fight the state’s police forces. The goal is revolution—to seize state power and radically transform the entire socioeconomic structure.

Historical Examples beyond Sparta vs Athens are numerous. Just a few examples are the Russian Civil War (1917-1923), the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), and the Chinese Civil War (1927-1949, with a pause during World War II).

French guillotine revolution Beheading Louis

The French Revolution turned bloody and attacked the Catholic Church, seizing all of their property and executing priests. This is why the French are in their 5th Republic, because it was a LEFTIST agenda and class warfare. Hence, France was unable to establish a stable Republic as unlike the United States, which was not based on a LEFTIST agenda but on separation from Britain.

THE RIGHT:

When we examine the RIGHT, the motivations are entirely different. Here, a perceived threat exists to the traditional social order, national identity, or private property. This threat is often seen as coming from LEFTIST movements, secularizing reforms, or ethnic/racial minorities gaining rights. Right-wing movements mobilize those who feel their status, wealth, or cultural identity is under attack (e.g., traditional elites, religious groups, nationalist segments of the population).

A left-wing electoral victory, a series of progressive reforms, or a revolution that begins to dismantle the old order is usually the trigger. The right, often with support from within the military, launches a counter-revolution or secessionist movement. The goal is to conserve or restore a traditional social hierarchy, frequently defined by race, religion, or class. This can also manifest as a war for ethnic supremacy or separation.

Garrison William
1831 Garrisons The Liberator

Most people have never heard of William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879), but he was perhaps one of the strongest voices that stirred up hatred in the South with his newspaper, The Liberator, which he founded in 1831 and published in Boston. He was not just anti-slavery; they were radical leftists for their time. They called for a complete overhaul of a society they saw as fundamentally corrupt and built on the sin of slavery. Their methods—using moral suasion, civil disobedience, and demanding immediate, uncompensated emancipation—were deeply challenging to the economic and social order.

Confed Transition Agriculture to Industrial
Death to Traitors Cover

A historical example is the American Civil War (1861-1865), which was more than just slavery. The South was a core right-wing insofar as the Southern planter aristocracy’s desire to conserve the status quo. The LEFT (North) was morally against the institution of slavery, but it was deeper than that. They were against the traditional, agrarian way of life in the South. As these Patriotic Covers illustrate, they were seen as primitive and not keeping pace with the “new” way of doing things with the rise of the Industrial Revolution.

Industrial Revolution 1835

The North was embracing the Industrial Revolution. They saw the South as resisting that trend. The South seceded from the Union explicitly to protect what they saw as their way of life, “property,” and states’ rights from the threat posed by the increasingly LEFTIST anti-slavery Republican Party (which, in the 1860s, represented a more modern, industrial, and politically progressive vision).

The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), as mentioned above, was triggered by the RIGHT. The Nationalists, led by Franco, were a coalition of monarchists, fascists (Falange), traditionalists, and the Catholic Church reacting against the secularizing and reformist LEFT-WING Republic. Their goal was a counter-revolution to restore a centralized, Catholic, and authoritarian Spain.

Even in Africa, the Biafran War/Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970) was an ethnic secessionist war, but RIGHT-WING ideologies of ethnic nationalism and supremacy fueled it. The Igbo-led secession of Biafra was a reaction to pogroms and a fear of political and cultural domination by other ethnic groups within Nigeria.


LEFT vs RIGHT
Left vs Right

Anyone who thinks that Trump won and that somehow killed the LEFT, you are wrong. They have a few billionaires who fund civil unrest and they fully understand that the way to defeat the RIGHT is through dividing the people, and that makes them susceptible to management and control, where they will willingly surrender all their rights for safety.

Franklin Liberty

Fund the civil unrest, divide the people, and the establishment will crumble. This is the standard formula that has been used for centuries. The Peloponnesian War (431–404BC) saw simmering tensions explode into a 27-year war of LEFT vs RIGHT philosophies. This Great Divide appears to be inherent within human nature that has always existed and contributes to both CIVIL UNREST/REVOLUTION as well as INTERNATIONAL WAR (which in ancient times was among city-states),

Empires 3rdCentury Rome Map

It’s crucial to recognize the preconditions that make any society vulnerable to civil war, regardless of ideology. These include a weak central government, as in the Roman Empire, when the Persians captured Emperor Valerian in 260AD. That led to the Empire splitting into three empires.

Yeltsin Tank

The next critical tipping point is a widespread economic crisis, which can be a sudden economic shock (e.g., a depression, famine), as was the Great Depression worldwide. Another critical division is deep divisions along ethnic, religious, or class lines, which we are witnessing in the Balkans and right now in Ukraine, and their hatred of Russians. Just as in the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution, the tipping point occurs when the military or police take sides instead of defending the state itself. In Russia, during 1991, when Yeltsin stood on the tank and told them not to fire on their fellow Russians, the coup collapsed.

Left v Right Theieves v Producers

Ideology (left or right) is the framework through which groups interpret these crises and justify their actions. Regardless of the culture we examine, we see the same divide over similar issues.

2020 1stQ Civil Unrest
1 Civil Unrest 600BC 1989

Long before the Progressive Era, there were distinct leftist movements of the Utopian Socialists in the United States during the 1820s-1840s, led by Robert Owen and Charles Fourier. They were Americans who established experimental communities, like the French Communes of their Revolution.

Progressive Party

However, it was the Progressive Movement (1890s-1920s) with its Presidential candidate, Teddy Roosevelt, that became the Crucible of Modern Leftism.

Civil Unrest 2023

Our Computer has been projecting the rise in civil unrest, which is a result of this Great Divide, and this trend is expected to become more aggressive in 2026, particularly from March 2026. I believe that Kirk’s assassination was not some random act. There may be a lot more behind this, and it may have been an intended spark to ignite this divide in 2026, with the attempt by the LEFT to resist the RIGHT and the rise of Trump.

Obama on Kirk

Obama immediately came out and used Kirk’s assassination as a response to Trump’s White House. Obama, in defending the LEFT, blamed Trump for animosity in the country, calling him “the architect of modern political division in America.” Obama has been a major player in dividing the country. To defend the radical left, he blamed Trump. This illustrates what I am saying. The LEFT is always the victim, and the RIGHT is always the establishment seeking to retain traditional values, and this is the status quo. There is no resolution; this will lead to the dissolution of the United States as we head into 2032.

The last time legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong was on USAWatchdog, he was hopeful that Trump would keep America out of the coming NATO War with Russia.  Trump was talking about not sending troops to Ukraine for any peace deal, and before that, he said he backed a Russian plan to trade land for peace in Ukraine.  Fast forward a month, and now, Trumps says, “Ukraine can win back its territory,” Russia is a “paper tiger,” and NATO countries should shoot down Russia aircraft.  What a flip-flop on foreign policy!

To Trump’s credit, it is reported he did deny sending long range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, but he is still sending a fresh batch of arms to NATO paid for with seized Russian money.  What the heck is going on?  Armstrong says, “It’s a double edge sword here.  On one hand, he is being a bit sarcastic, and maybe if he says that somehow it will compel Putin to come to the table.  Sorry, this is not negotiating trade issues.  You are insulting the integrity of Russia saying it is a ‘paper tiger,’ etc.  Everything Trump has said is exactly what the neocons have been saying.  These EU leaders have been told that Russia is on the verge of collapse. . . .NATO has been telling them they have 3.4 million troops against Russia’s 1.5 million troops, and they can walk in and take Russia in a blink of an eye.  This is the nonsense that they are putting out.”

This brings us to Armstrong’s predictive computer program called Socrates.  Armstrong says, “I typed in here:  Socrates, what are the prospects for nuclear war after 2025?”  This is the first time Armstrong has let Socrates answer in an interview, and it says, “Marty, the prospects for nuclear war post 2025 appear to have risen to 100%.  This may be tactical nuclear.  All indicators show Ukraine remains the center point for Europe as a proxy war orchestrated by NATO.  Ukraine will not survive as a country, and the European Union is also not likely to survive beyond 2030.”

Could Trump be one of the greatest President’s in history if he sidesteps this European war with Russia?  Armstrong says, “Absolutely.  The EU is not salvageable.  I have been doing interviews in Europe, and three years ago, I was asked, ‘Do you really think the EU will break up?’  And now, I get, ‘When is it going to break up?’ . . .. These neocons will never accept any kind of a peace deal with Russia—period.”

I asked Armstrong if he were to have a short one-on-one call with President Trump, what would you tell him?  Armstrong says, “My computer says you are going to lose, and my computer has never been wrong.  You can check it, and the CIA even wanted it.  It’s got a 40-year track record you can document.”

What would Armstrong advise President Trump to do right now?  Armstrong says, “I would tell President Trump to get the hell out of Europe, and get out the hell of NATO.  I did pass a message to President Trump a few months ago with someone who is close to him.  I said NATO is going to try to do a false flag to invoke an Article Five to drag us into the war.  We have to get out of NATO ASAP.”

On gold and silver and their big price increases lately, Armstrong says, “It’s not a surprise.  They are going up because of war.”  Armstrong predicts future price gains for both metals will explode, and on some instances start doubling in price.  For example, on gold, Armstrong says, “When you cross $5,000 per ounce, and I am talking further out, these markets always jump exponentially to the next major psychological number.  So, when you cross $5,000, it will jump to $10,000.  That’s what everybody will be looking for then,”

One last thing, Armstrong says, “China is on record to not let Russia lose to NATO, because if that happens, they are next.”

There is much more in the 75-minute interview.

Has Trump Has Guaranteed Our War Model Will Be Correct?


Posted originally on Sep 27, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |  

EI taking Russian Assets
Russian Beart

When President Trump actually addressed the United Nations General Assembly during his first term, I remember that he criticized globalism, drawing derisive laughter that momentarily derailed his remarks. This time, nobody was laughing.

I had hoped that Trump’s flip-flop on Ukraine, which is now costing him sharply in the polls, would have just been a hard-nosed negotiation tactic. It appeared that he was perhaps being sarcastic, and one can even read this as walking away, insofar as he is mouthing everything that the NEOCONS and their mouthpiece, the ISW, keep saying that the sanctions are working, the Russian economy is about to collapse. Thus, is Russia a Paper Tiger? Then we have NATO, the Neocon retirement home, can walk in with 3.4 million troops against Russia’s 1.5, and Putin will fall to his knees and plead for his life.

Before this, Trump admitted that Ukraine was losing. At that meeting in the White House when Trump said Zelensky had no cards, this is inconsistent with his new flip-flop. Ukraine stands ZERO chance of surviving as a country because the EU is just using Ukraine as a pawn in their desire to conquer Russia. Zelensky is just lining his pockets to come out as a billionaire and flee Ukraine before it is toast.

Neocon Propaganda

The European leaders believe all of the NEOCON propaganda because they are the ones about to collapse, and they want to pretend Russia will fall first, and they get to pick up what’s left. This is the biggest crop of fools I have ever seen in my 50 years. Then telling the EU to stop buying Russian oil when their economies would collapse is another sarcastic type of remark.

But insulting Russia that it is a “paper tiger” and telling the NEOCON puppet Zelensky he had to keep all of Ukraine, which is the green light to kill all the Russians that are there and finish Bandera’s ethnic cleansing, and take part of Russia for its pleasure, is advocating an EU invasion of Russia. Then telling NATO to shoot down any Russian plane it desires is total insanity.

Finland’s President Alexander Stubb has said that Putin should be worried now that Trump has joined their side against Russia. Trump has emboldened all of Europe, and they see this as the green light for World War III, with the NEOCONS telling them Russia is collapsing and easy prey. They have convinced these European leaders that they can take Russia with one arm tied behind their back and he will NEVER use nuclear weapons. They now have Trump ready to draft Americans and send them to another endless war to die for the glory of the NEOCONS.

eaglr vs bear

You can insult countries in trade disputes, but this is threatening the integrity of Russia and basically says it’s a joke of a country that should not even exist. What Trump seems to be naive about is that these NEOCONS have complete control of NATO and the EU. There is NO WAY they will EVER accept Russia as a peaceful nation.

shutterstock_2647066871

If Trump thinks he is being clever with a sarcastic commentary, our computer is warning that he is giving the green light to NATO to start WWIII and then invoke Article 5. Things do not always work out as intended.

2025_09_26_13_53_59_Trump_says_NATO_countries_should_shoot_down_Russian_aircraft_that_violate_airspa

The other side of this question cannot be interpreted as a sarcastic remark when Trump tells the EU to shoot down Russian Planes. I don’t think giving the NEOCONS this type of permission will exonerate Trump from the history books, for they will say he ordered us to do this – he started WWIII.

EU New Scheme To Rob Russian Assets

Brussels is scheming to steal all the Russian assets and use them to fund its conquest of Russia. Up to now, they can seize interest generated by Russian assets but not the capital sums. They are presenting this as Ukraine’s ability to defend itself and rebuild. But then they want to sell arms to Ukraine, which they will use the Russian money to fund the EU. The new proposal to hand them the actual capital itself is being called “legally creative,” and they want to release $200 billion to $300 billion at Euroclear, while France has another $70 billion, and rumors have it that they have been dipping into that illegally already. Presenting this as a major stream of additional funding for Zelensky without technically expropriating the Russian assets themselves, which would be legally risky.

Ursula Leader of EU

They are proposing to swap the cash for zero-coupon short-term EU bonds. The Commission believes it will avoid accusations of confiscating the money, which violates international law, and NO COUNTRY should have any money in Europe at all!!!! So you buy 30-year zero-coupon European Debt, which they cannot sell, holding off their Sovereign Debt Crisis, then take 30 years of interest now and use that to fund their conquest of Russia. If they destroy Russia, then they get to keep everything.

Taurus_Neo_missile

Buried in the German rearmament plan revealed by Politico was a €2.373 billion contract for Taurus Neo missiles. That sum should buy roughly 600 units. They will find their way to Ukraine, and Zelensky was to wipe out the Kremlin itself.

2025_09_26_14_15_20_Zelensky_asks_Trump_for_Tomahawk_missiles_in_private_UN_meeting

Zelenskiy has refused to allow elections and says he is ready to leave office ONLY after the Russia conflict: ‘My goal is to finish the war.‘ This is why, personally, he will never agree to peace. Zelensky asked Trump for Tomahawk missiles in a private UN meeting. Zelensky threatened Putin that those in the Kremlin should know where the bomb shelters are when he gets YS Tomahawk missiles.

Sanctions Russia

The U.S. sanctions on Cuba were imposed in two parts by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, which was the first trade embargo in response to the revolutionary government of Fidel Castro nationalizing U.S.-owned properties (like oil refineries and sugar mills) without compensation and aligning with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. This initially involved cutting off the Cuban sugar quota, a major blow to the island’s economy. Then, on February 7, 1962, President John F. Kennedy formally declared a full economic embargo against Cuba through Proclamation 3447. This made the restrictions comprehensive and legally binding.

Are the Sanctions Still There Today? Yes, the core U.S. economic embargo on Cuba is still in place today.

This is what Putin looks at. Once the West imposes sanctions for geopolitical reasons, they become permanent. The Cuban sanctions are still there 65 years later, long after Fidel Castro is long gone.  It is still illegal to sell Cuban Cigars commercially within the United States.

Look at Iran. The major international sanctions began in 1979 after the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis, but the most severe and impactful sanctions were imposed between 2006 and 2012, primarily over Iran’s nuclear program. The Iran sanctions have been there for 46 years, and the government has still not fallen.

There is ZERO hope of Russia ever joining the world economy, and this is what they are coming to grips with.


Zelensky wants NATO to NUKE Russia as a Preemptive Strike

Zelensky WWIII

NATO is desperate for a FALSE FLAG to justify World War III. The NEOCONS have spent their entire lives dreaming about destroying all Russians. It does not matter that Communism fell. They hate the Russian people. That’s OK, but if you say you do not like immigrants, Starmer will throw you in prison for hate speech. They use it all the time when it comes to the Russian people as a whole. Initially, I warned that all my sources indicated Zelensky was hand-picked to create WWIII by the Neocons. Many Ukrainians do not believe he was legitimately elected.


Russia’s Response

Medvedev Dmitry Anatolyevich

“The Kiev drug addict said the Kremlin should know where a bomb shelter is so its occupants can hide when he uses long-range American weapons,” Medvedev wrote. “What the freak needs to know is that Russia can use weapons a bomb shelter won’t protect against. Americans should also keep this in mind.”

Russia has the most nuclear warheads in the world, according to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.

2025_09_26_18_52_54_Lavrov_Accuses_NATO_EU_of_Declaring_War_on_Russia_The_Epoch_Times

Russia’s top diplomat has accused NATO and the European Union of declaring war on Russia and using Ukraine as its proxy. Of course, the EU and NATO lie through their teeth and have claimed that this is a distortion of reality and said it is Moscow that has “brought war back to Europe.”

Boris_Johnson_We_are_in_a_proxy_war_against_Russia_

Boris Johnson, who has routinely flown to Kiev to instruct Zelensky, cannot sign peace deals, to insist on going to the White House and embarrass Trump into funding Europe’s war to conquer Russia, has publicly admitted that “We are in a proxy war against Russia.”  I am so sick and tired of these European lies. Enough is enough.

Johnson_derailed_2022_talks_with_Russia_Daily_Saba

Both he and Foreign Secretary David Lammy have repeatedly said “Labour will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes to win”. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also told Zelensky he is willing to allow Ukraine’s use of UK-supplied long-range missiles to hit targets inside Russia.

2025_09_26_21_16_34_Kremlin_says_Trump_s_Ukraine_shift_mistaken_and_swayed_by_Zelenskiy_NewsBreak

Reuters has reported that the Kremlin “flatly rejected what Donald Trump said was the rationale behind his rhetorical U-turn on the war in Ukraine, saying it appeared that the U.S. president had been influenced by Ukraine’s leader and was mistaken.”


2025_09_26_09_06_27_Plan_On_It_Martin_Armstrong_Sees_100_Chance_Of_Nuclear_War_ZeroHedge

Look, I have been trying to defeat my own computer all the time. I have failed every single time. These forecasts are personal opinions. This is why we have more institutional clients than probably everyone else combined. It’s not that my opinion is better than everyone. They want to know what the computer says, not me. When people thought I was nuts, saying 100% chance of nuclear war was on the horizon, and Trump seemed to be a real president, people wondered how that forecast could possibly be correct. I myself was on the phone with some people in Congress and was told they would keep us out of war with Russia. Those days are gone in just a few weeks.

When I ask Socrates what the prospects of nuclear war are, it still comes up with 100%. It still sees the end of Ukraine, and it still projects the collapse of the European Union post-2030. These are not my personal opinions.

I am the RELUCTANT economist and geopolitical analyst. These are fields I never intended to aspire to. If you had asked me in High School if I would want to be advising on this level internationally, flying from country to country, addressing boardrooms of some of the largest multinational companies in the world, I would have said you were out of your mind. I was a trader whose father pushed me into computer engineering in the late ’60s because I did not want to become a lawyer and follow him in his footsteps with “and son” on the door.

After learning computer engineering from the hardware to the software, I was able to create what became the first fully functioning Artificial Intelligence computer, which monitored the entire world to assist me in hedge fund management. I was named Economist of the Decade for the ’80s. I took the bank page of the Economist for three week in July 1985 to announce the turn in the Economic Confidence Model that deflation was over, inflation would then begin, and that was the low in gold, the peak in the dollar with the pound reaching $1.03, and because in 1983 I was on TV and forecast that the British pound would fall from T2 level to par, everyone thought that forecast was nuts.

By 1983, I was being touted as the highest-paid analyst in the world. The WSJ interviewed many clients. They were shocked. They told me people said they would pay $10,000 an hour back then. I did not realize I was advising on tens of billions in 1983.

By the end of the 1980s, I had been called America’s top economist. I advised major takeover players, such as Alan Bond from Australia. We made so much money that he created Bond University. The computer had projected that the stock market would TRIPLE. People could not believe that forecast. I would speak at conferences and show these two charts that the book value of the Dow reached its final historical low in 1977 from the 1929 high.

Eonomic Confidence Model Public Private MA
Public v Private

I was running around warning that a major shift was taking place with the transition from PUBLIC to PRIVATE confidence, and the low in book value was the hallmark of a public wave, where stocks were a dirty word and government was to be trusted, post-Great Depression. People bought the bonds and discarded the stocks. From the 1975 low of 622 on the S&P, it rallied into 1987 to 3378 level. This was why I took the back cover of the Economist for 3 weeks during July 1985 to go on record (1985.65) that a major change in the world economy would take place. That was the Plaza Accord, the birth of the G5, and the peak in the dollar, ending the deflation.

The computer was correct again.

Because I was at the forefront of foreign exchange forecasting, I was called on in 1985 when they were creating the G5 – now G20. I even wrote to President Reagan objecting to this attempt to manipulate the dollar down to relieve the trade deficit. They did that at the Plaza Accord in 1985. They disrupted the capital flows and were right on target with the ECM model for the turn in July 1985.

When the 1987 Crash took place, our model forecasted that even to the very day, I was then called into the 1987 Presidential Commission investigating the crash. I managed to get them not to blame computer trading, but it was really the G5 and the manipulation of the currency markets. Lowering the dollar may make your exports cheaper, but it also devalues all assets purchased by foreigners, compelling them to sell.

In 2015, I even met with the Swiss central bank to warn them that the peg was about to break. They thought they could hold it. I warned that it was impossible.

I have done my best to help society and have paid the price for that. They can accuse me of having too much influence, but whenever I try to warn them not to do something, they do not listen. So my warnings about war and the ultimate destruction of Western Society go in one ear and out the other. People believe what they want to believe, as Julius Caesar said long ago. I have an unmatched track record. But they still will not listen.
