Finland Closes Border With Russia to Stop Putin’s Brown People


Posted originally on the CTH on November 28, 2023 | Sundance 

Western media will never say it, but what exactly do you think Russia is doing in Africa?  Think strategically.

The headline simply says Finland will close Russian border to stop asylum seekers. Most readers stop there, thinking Russians are trying to escape the horrible Putin.  However, the reality is something entirely different.

…”Some 900 asylum seekers from nations including Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen have entered Finland from Russia in November, an increase from less than one per day previously, according to the Finnish Border Guard.”…

Finland joined NATO and suddenly Finland doesn’t want brown people.  Apparently, diversity is no longer a strength.

HELSINKI, Nov 28 (Reuters) – Finland will close its entire border with Russia to travellers for the next two weeks in a bid to halt the unusually large flow of asylum seekers to the Nordic nation, which the government and its allies say is an orchestrated move by Moscow.

Finland last week shut all but one of its border posts to travellers from Russia, keeping open only the northernmost crossing located in the Arctic. But this too would now close, the government said on Tuesday.

Some 900 asylum seekers from nations including Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen have entered Finland from Russia in November, an increase from less than one per day previously, according to the Finnish Border Guard.

The decision to shut all eight border crossings means only cargo trains can pass between the two countries, Finland’s Border Guard said.

Helsinki says Moscow is funnelling people to the border in retaliation for its decision to increase defence cooperation with the United States, a charge the Kremlin denies. Finland infuriated Russia earlier this year when it joined NATO, ending decades of military non-alignment, due to the war in Ukraine. (read more)

In semi related news #1…. Another 1,000 illegal Muslim immigrants have just invaded Lampedusa [Italy] aboard two huge boats.  This follows thousands of earlier arrivals that have created a significant problem.

…. So where do you think President of the Italian Republic Giorgia Meloni is?

Today, the President of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, and the President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, Giorgia Meloni, met at the White House.  They reaffirmed the unshakable alliance, strategic partnership, and deep friendship between the United States and Italy.  The ties between Italy and the United States are rooted in history, cultural affinity, and economic cooperation.  They are founded on our shared values and principles – democracy, freedom, respect for human rights – reinforced by the shared objective to promote peace and security, enhance prosperity, and advance sustainability all around the globe.

[…] The leaders also discussed ways to explore mobilizing more headroom and concessional finance to boost the World Bank’s capacity to support countries addressing global challenges and provide strong support for the poorest countries. (read more)

If you get beyond the ridiculous leftist language, likely borne from an intern of Samantha Power, you realize President Meloni is desperate for something, anything, that will keep the African migrants from arriving en masse.  However, as a weak-minded right-winger, she has been brought to heel and is now culturally aligned with the progressives in Davos.

I ask again, what do you think Russia (and China) are doing in Africa?

Vladimir Putin and Chairman Xi know exactly how to play the long game with the west.

[Fox News] – […] China imports cheap oil from countries facing U.S. sanctions, like Russia and Iran. Imports from Russia increased by nearly 23% in the first half of 2023 to more than 2 million barrels per day. China is Iran’s top customer, buying an estimated 1 million barrels per day in 2023.

Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon Discuss What Happens Within a Democracy When Voting No Longer Works


Posted originally on the CTH on November 27, 2023 | Sundance

Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon have an interesting conversation about what happens within “Democratic” nations when the process of voting no longer generates the changes that are demanded by the citizens.

When elected officials put themselves in a position to stand above the citizens of the country, things start to get very unsustainable.  The recent events in Ireland show what happens when the citizens finally say enough is enough.  Direct Rumble Link – WATCH:

Olivers’ Non-Pretending Assessment of Global Politics


Posted originally on the CTH on November 26, 2023 | Sundance 

Neil Oliver delivered a good summation of recent global events in the world of politics when contrast against the stabbing of school children in Ireland; the resulting populist backlash to the forced multicultural import and elimination of national identity, and the immediate reaction by Ireland’s leader Leo Varadkar as he demands new hate speech laws to stop people from speaking out against government forced migration.

Once again as with Brexit and the first Trump election victory, free people are pushing back while the authoritarian government regimes of the global UniParty threaten arrest. The people speak in Holland as nationalist Geert Wilders wins election; the left goes bananas. In Argentina nationalist and populist Javier Milei wins the election, again the globalist left goes bananas.

We are standing on the precipice, fighting with the “tools of democracy,” while those who have bastardized the term dispatch any semblance of democratic norms that do not fit the UniParty agenda. As Oliver notes, in the USA Democrats and Republicans both unite the ranks of the totalitarian government; in the U.K the Conservatives and Labor party politicians form the same UniParty.

The voices of the voters are being dispatched, ignored and labeled as extreme while Ireland starts to show what comes after the ballot box approach no longer works. WATCH:

Black Friday – A Key Weekend for Retailers


Posted originally on Nov 24, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Recession

Retailers have been preparing for Black Friday and Cyber Monday all year. The tradition of post-Thanksgiving shopping has spread internationally with companies throughout the world promoting special sales. The National Federation of Retailers in America predicts that 2023 will be one of the busiest shopping holidays in the nation’s history.

Around 182 million shoppers are expected to make purchases from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday, marking a 15.7 million uptick from 2022. This also marks the highest estimate since the organization began compiling data in 2017. Despite inflation, 61% of 8,424 respondents to a poll said the deals presented are too good to pass on.

The bulk of spending is expected to occur on Black Friday with 130.7 million participants, followed by Cyber Monday which is expected to attract 71.1 million shoppers. Half of shoppers will be searching for presents for the upcoming holidays. In total, retail spending in November and December will reach up to $966.6 billion.

“The Thanksgiving holiday weekend marks some of the busiest shopping days of the year, as consumers enjoy the tradition of shopping for the perfect gifts for friends and loved ones,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “Retailers have been preparing for months for this occasion. They are stocked and ready to help customers find the gifts and other items they want at great prices during the entire holiday season.”

Although consumer spending accounts for 2/3 of GDP, the majority of Americans are living off of credit due to record inflation. So while people are spending during this 5-day holiday in anticipation of tomorrow’s price being higher, consumer spending at this point in time merely adds to the private debt crisis sweeping the nation.

IRS Pauses $600+ Transaction Audits


Posted riginally on Nov 24, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

IRS building

Within the American Rescue Plan was a piece of legislation requiring Americans to report any transactions they made over $600. The most recent budget negotiation eliminated much of the additional funding for the IRS. The Biden Administration wanted to hire 87,000 new IRS agents and claimed they were solely targeting the rich. Not so coincidentally, directly after the recent IRS budget cut, the government announced that 2023 will be a “transition year,” and Americans will not need to report these small payments as of yet.

The plan will go into effect next year, but the minimum threshold will be raised from $600 to $5,000. All Americans will be required to file a 1099-K form to report additional earnings exceeding $5,000. Yet, businesses are already required to report on all their transactions. “We spent many months gathering feedback from third-party groups and others, and it became increasingly clear we need additional time to effectively implement the new reporting requirements,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said.

600 IRS Audit

Targeting a $600 payment or even a $5,000 payment is not going to target the billionaire class. Do you think people like Elon Musk are selling a bike on eBay for $600 and refraining from paying taxes? They are directly looking to target middle America with these restrictions. Taxes simply never go down as the government feels entitled to a portion of every penny you earn.

Now this news also comes directly after Biden’s approval rating plummeted into negative territory. They do not want to anger the people ahead of the election. Should we simply pay our taxes to Israel and Ukraine this tax season? People would realize how trivial those $600+ payments were after the government audits the local babysitter for not reporting her income or asks grandma to itemize her yard sale earnings. The government overreach would be blatant enough to wake up the most loyal Biden supporter.

They know that digital currency will soon roll out, providing them with the ability to track all of our transactions easily. This is one of the reasons that governments globally are moving towards a cashless society. It is still curious as to why the IRS has an armed branch that is trained in  “firearms, defensive tactics, and building entry.” They are merely buying time before declaring

Germany the Crisis in the Making

Germany PPI Energy Crisis 11 22 23

COMMENT: Marty, Germany is following your forecast, and even the courts just ruled that moving money from one designated purpose to another is unconstitutional. When will Germany wake up? Ukraine is destroying Europe, and they were the culprits that blew up the Nord Stream to hurt Russia but did more economic damage to Germany. Then Zelensky wants us to keep handing him money after he was responsible for our energy crisis. It is just unimaginable how idiots occupy our government.

AD

German Federal Supreme Court

REPLY: The high court in Germany ruled that the supplementary 2021 budget that they amended was a violation of the Basic Law and thereafter, unconstitutional. The court’s decision was interesting that the government failed to demonstrate the necessary connection between the COVID emergency and shifting it into the Energy and Climate Fund. Germany was then forced to freeze public spending for the balance of the year. Germany has a rule that limits the rise in debt by limiting the annual deficits because they still think that increasing the money supply created the hyperinflation of the 1920s – a very shallow linear analysis.

Germany PPI Array 11 22 23

We have had a back-to-back Directional Change here in 2022/2023. We can see that the PPI is relaxing from the 2022 high, but 2023/2024 should be the low. We have a Panic Cycle in 2025, and from there into 2032, the damage of all this nonsense with Ukraine will destroy Europe and then the Middle East will engulf Europe internally.

Merkel Welcome

Merkel’s decision to open the borders, as Biden has done, will undermine Europe and destroy its culture. Europe will not be the same after 2032. It is rapidly being transformed into the old Ottoman Empire conquered this time from within. The religious violence has already begun, and this is where the entire Middle East conflict will spill over into the rest of the world.

Europe has been engulfed in religious wars many times. Even Communism was a religious war, whereby it was atheism. Even the French Revolution involved seizing all the property of the Catholic Church and Napoleon even imprisoned the Poper.  This is precisely on time, for it is 340 years from the last attempt of the Ottoman Empire to conquer Europe in 1683.

Geert Wilders Wins Bigly in Netherlands


Posted originally 0n the CTH on November 23, 2023 | Sundance 

It was Christmas 2009, when the Massachusetts Democrat party filled with hubris and complacency scoffed at the idea that the seat of Ted Kennedy would ever be challenged by Republicans.  However, a group of patriots worked tirelessly and quietly throughout the holiday season to change the dynamic.  No one saw it coming, Scott Brown won.

In 2023 another group in the Netherlands took the same quiet and deliberate approach.  Again, no one saw it coming but Geert Wilders is now on track to be the next prime minister.

The Party for Freedom (PVV) won 37 seats in Parliament and now stand as the largest political force in the country.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders said Thursday that he is ready to join the next Dutch coalition government after he surged to a huge election victory that marked a stunning lurch to the far right for a nation once famed as a beacon of tolerance.

The result is sending shockwaves through Europe, where extremist nationalist ideology is putting pressure on democracies that now face the possibility of having to deal with the first far-right prime minister of the Netherlands.

“It is going to happen that the PVV is in the next Cabinet,” Wilders said, using the Dutch abbreviation for his Party for Freedom.

With nearly all votes counted, Wilders’ party was forecast to win 37 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament, more than double the 17 the party secured in the last election.

[…]  Wilders’ election program included calls for a referendum on the Netherlands leaving the European Union, a total halt to accepting asylum-seekers and migrant pushbacks at Dutch borders.

It also advocates the “de-Islamization” of the Netherlands. He says he wants no mosques or Islamic schools in the country, although he has been milder about Islam during this election campaign than in the past.

[…]  In his victory speech, Wilders said he wants to end what he called the “asylum tsunami,” referring to the migration issue that came to dominate his campaign.  “The Dutch will be No. 1 again,” Wilders said. “The people must get their nation back.”  (read more)
