Is Soros Behind the Democrats More than People Know?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Posted Oct 8, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Most people are unaware that George Soros has a son who has set up his own philanthropy and is a major donor to the Democrats which gives him access and influence. Alexander Soros is the deputy chair of the Open Society Foundations. He sits on the boards of Bard College, Bend the Arc Jewish Action, and Central European University. While George Soros does not come to appear with Democrats, he sends his son. Alexander met the VP pick Harris, because he was there in the vetting process and his father was informed and approved.

Make no mistake about it, if Alexander Soros is on the phone, they will pick it up. He is believed to be as far left as his father. He was born in 1985 yet has his own foundation with dad’s money. So anyone who wants to know why the Democrats have moved far left, just look to Soros who wants to end governments and hand all power to the United Nations in an Open Society. So those who light candles and pray Soros will die soon, he has already cloned himself.

Some say the super rich are far left because they feel guilty for having so much money. Others suggest they are far left and create foundations so the wealth is not their personality, because they do not want anyone else rising to compete with them and their ideas. Either way, they have politicians eating out of their hands. Politicians are like mosquitoes. They are attracted to the pretty blue light that kills them.

Why Hypothesis is no longer about Discovery


Armstrong Economics Blog/Basic Concepts Posted Oct 8, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: The old definition of the scientific method was “In a typical application of the scientific method, a researcher develops a hypothesis, tests it through various means, and then modifies the hypothesis on the basis of the outcome of the tests and experiments. The modified hypothesis is then retested, further modified, and tested again, until it becomes consistent with observed phenomena and testing outcomes.”

The new definition of the scientific method is that you alter your data until it conforms to your hypothesis.

REPLY: This is so true and has been used in both the virus as well as climate change. In economics, we have people constantly trying to force the economy to support their equality hypothesis first proposed by Karl Marx. The fact that Communism has failed, they have tried so desperately to adopt Marxism which has been like trying to be a little bit pregnant. They protest about the lofty 1% who own most of the public companies, but nobody looks at the fact that the savings of the individual are seized and put into things like government pensions which then are restricted to invest only in government bonds.

The public fails to understand that the billionaires made what they did from stock investments – not cash salaries. Perhaps they are always left to prevent others from making what they did. Gates goes further and wants to reduce the population as well.

Nobody looks at the evidence anymore. Then the government takes your money, pays you no interest, and you celebrate when you get a refund check with no interest. The government borrows from the poor without interest yet pay the rich interest through bonds.

Even in law, Samuel Moyn, a law professor at Yale, who has argued for legal reforms in the Supreme Court, has admitted: “We’re academics,” Moyn says. “Most of what we do is profoundly ineffectual.” What Moyn has said about the law is precisely the problem in Economics and now climate science but they will not be honest and admit that as Moyn has publicly.Video Player

Hypothesis today is no longer about discovery. It has become the means of sophistry used to pretend something is justified. We are now paying the price of bullionaires using their money to manipulate society into what they think it should be.

Prince Charles calls for Military Action-like Plan to Prevent Climate Change


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Posted Oct 8, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Prince Charles, who also has no qualifications with climate change, has come out and proposes a military-style response reminiscent of the U.S. Marshall Plan to combat Climate Change. Prince Charles is in league with Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates who has been behind using this virus as the excuse to lock down the world to stop air travel and commuting to work. He agrees with the clock erected in New York City claims we will die after 7 years because of irreversible climate change when in fact NASA confirms that CO2 accounts for only 0.04% of the atmosphere. They continue to call anyone who dares to disagree “conspiracy theorists” so they do not have to answer the mountain of evidence that shows the planet has warmed and gone cold for millions of years without humans driving to work. Not a single one of these people will explain the climate changes that have brought even ice ages.

Meanwhile, Charles trappes around with so many military medals they look like costume jewelry since he has never seen and military combat. He wears no medals for valor in combat. Instead, he wears the appropriate regalia, given his service, ranks in the Navy and Air Force, and appropriate titles. He wears the Order of Merit, the Order of the Bath, and the Queen’s Service Order, all for service to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth but not for military action. This is the very symbol of climate change. Fancy medals, but nothing for actual science.

European Union Imposes Import Tariffs on Chinese and Asian Imported Steel…


Posted originally on The Conservative tree house on October 7, 2020 by sundance

Hypocrisy much?  After spending an exhaustive amount of energy and media attention decrying President Trump’s tariffs against imported steel, the European union turns around and quietly does exactly the same thing….  Imagine that.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union will impose tariffs on imports of hot-rolled stainless steel coils and sheets from China, Indonesia and Taiwan after an investigation found they were being sold at artificially low prices.

The European Commission, which conducted the investigation, has set duties of up to 19% for imports from China, of 17.3% for product from Indonesia and up to 7.5% for stainless steel from Taiwan, the EU’s official journal said on Wednesday.

The Commission said that the anti-dumping duties, to take effect from Thursday, aim to remedy the damage caused to EU producers located mainly in Belgium, Italy and Finland. (link)

Having spent the last four years in direct confrontation with President Trump over the  value of tariffs to protect U.S. manufacturing interests, the hypocrisy of the EU leaders is genuinely off-the-charts.   While we do not expect the American media to report on this economic policy shift, it just goes to show how the prism of politics infects almost all decisions espoused by the leftists.

President Trump leads. Period.

Every single EU head of state knows that President Trump’s economic nationalism is the best structural policy for the interests of sovereign nations; yet they espouse a totally different set of globalist principles when they are in public.

MAGA Fly Buzzes VP Debate


Mike Pence easily won the debate against Kamala Harris last night, but a fly stole the show.

The contest between the Vice President and Kamala was predictable and sedate compared to President Trump’s debate with Joe Biden. Pence is a good speaker and he easily held the nasally Harris at bay. Then a fly appeared on top of Mike’s white hair and stayed there for nearly 2 minutes. I thought it was unusual because it didn’t move. Then the fly suddenly disappeared.

The leftist media got a big hoot out of the fly and wondered if Pence even knew it was there. I wondered myself. Usually a fly can be heard and spotted with peripheral vision. It could be felt too, but perhaps Pence’s  hair prevented that.

Now I’m hearing conspiracy theories that the fly was digitized and rendered onto the live broadcast somehow. The right made fun of flies appearing on Obama and perhaps this was revenge. Flies are attracted to dirty things like Democrats are attracted to dirty politics. Flies are considered bad luck.

So I helped out the Vice President here and made the fly into something more positive. A fly with a MAGA hat would surely bug Kamala.

Hotel in Germany Raided for Not Requiring Masks


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Posted Oct 8, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

In picturesque Bamberg, Bavaria Germany, a lovely place to visit which is about 3hrs from Tübingen, another fantastic place to visit in Bavaria. A hotel in Bamberg advertised with the slogan “Guests without mouth and nose protection are also welcome”. The police then raided the small hotel to arrest the owner for violating the Infection Protection Act and met resistance.

The innkeeper and his wife clashed with the police. Four officers were slightly injured during the operation. The degree that this virus has been used worldwide to oppress people and change the global economy has reached far and wide. Police are attacking people for no real reason and these are the actions that historically ALWAYS, and without exception, lead eventually to revolution.

The Mail-In Ballot Fraud


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Oct 7, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Normally, absentee ballots are not a major issue. However, they are also rarely needed to decide elections. The problem which seems to have been deliberately created is using this fake virus that has been presented as lethal when it is nothing more than the flu killing mostly the elderly, to convince people to vote from home. They really have no legitimate reason for not going down to vote. They have been terrorized by the left media with CNN leading the charge. The 2008 election Obama beat McCain taking 52.9% of the popular vote and the 2012 election he won with only 51.1% of the popular vote.

This illustrates the problem we face. By increasing the mail-in ballots, this has been a deliberate move to complicate the election and at the same time reaffirm that you may die if you leave your house and come close to strangers. This is a clever means to support the claims that every death is because of Trump – not the virus. Biden said nobody would have died if Trump did his job. CNN showed it unethical bias since their leftist fact-checkers remained silent. Some have had the courage to say Biden was wrong. FactCheck.ORG at least wrote: “Biden made the far-fetched claim that data show President Donald Trump could have prevented “all” of the U.S. deaths from COVID-19 if he ‘had done his job.’ There’s no research that supports such a claim.” We do NOT see any of the major leftist news media correcting Biden because this is part of the scheme, terrorize people so they vote from home and that will ensure they vote for Biden.

There is little doubt that the majority of the people voting from home will not be because they cannot, but because they have been terrorized that they will risk death by voting in person. The assumption is now that the majority of mail-ins will be for Biden. The diehard Democrats could care less about corruption

INVALID MAIL-IN BALLOTS

Already we have major problems appearing showing that these mail-in ballots are going to really complicate the election and leave it so both sides will declare fraud. Over 100,000 ballots were already declared illegal in Iowa. We have another 100,000 ballots that were mailed out in New York City with the wrong addresses. We have laws in Nevada that would nullify federal laws prohibiting ballot harvesting as has been taking place in many parts of the country. Pennsylvania Supreme Court has allowed mail-in ballots to be accepted 3 days after the election. This is just scratching the surface.

All of this could have been avoided by simply creating an APP to allow people to vote. If you can buy using your credit card from Amazon securely, surely you could have voted from home using an APP. There are also no federal guidelines for voting federally. This is one giant mess that will FOREVER allow both sides to claim the election was rigged.

Masks & Elbows – End of Shaking Hands?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Oct 7, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: meine bank – volksbank düsseldorf-neuss – hat mir mein laufendes konto gekündigt,weil ich mich geweigert habe, eine maske zu tragen und zwar im
vorraum der filiale, wo sonst niemand war!
ich hatte mein med. attest vorgezeigt und daher keine maske getragen.
ich bin kunde und teilhaber der genossenschaftsbank seit 1977 und hatte
auch viele jahre mein wertpapierdepot bei diesem institut, ausserdem habe
ich als dipl. kaufmann viele auszubildenden der düsseldorfer banken und
versicherungen unterrichtet und geprüft.
mein einspruch wurde noch nicht beantwortet.

Translation:

my bank – volksbank düsseldorf-neuss – canceled my current account because i refused to wear a mask in the anteroom of the branch where nobody else was! I had my med. certificate presented and therefore no mask worn. i have been a customer and partner of the cooperative bank since 1977 and had also have my securities account with this institute for many years I as a dipl. Kaufmann many trainees from the Düsseldorf banks and insurances informed and audited. my objection has not yet been answered.

REPLY: This is really amazing. Based upon reliable sources, those who refuse to wear a mask are being regarded as threats to the New Socialist Green Order. There is now also a campaign to stop shaking hands and just bump elbows. All of this for a claimed virus that is no more lethal than the flu. This entire scheme is intended to reshape society for the anti-democratic movement they hope to put in place by 2024.

The structure of the European Union is the model of the future. It was deliberately designed to end democracy. The European Commission as well as the head of state NEVER stands for election. The European Parliament is the show-piece and the only entity where people are elected, but cannot overrule the Commission. This is the very model they hope to put in place with the United Nations at the top. You will have local elections only and they will have no power to resist the climate mandates from the United Nations in the very same structure that was used to create the Eurozone. We are starting to witness this type of conduct from heads of state from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and even Britain.

International Tourism Collapses by 80%


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Oct 7, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

International tourism has plunged it looks like coming in at around 80% by the end of the year. The UN World Tourism Organisation says it will drop at least 60%. The result of this has contributed to what we see as unemployment over 300 million worldwide. This collapse in tourism is 100% post-April 2020. This is going to contribute greatly to rising civil unrest next year globally. The collapse in tourism has already put millions of workers out of work. Those economies that have a high reliance on tourism like Greece and Thailand will suffer a significant decline in their GDP. Thailand, for example, will see a fall beyond 90% for the year’s total numbers.

Just from tourism which composes of airlines, hotels, travel agents, and restaurants, we are estimating a loss on a global scale between 100 to 120 million tourism jobs at risk of being lost permanently. It has been international tourism that has been one of the main engines of the global economy which not only accounts for roughly 7% of all international trade, it has helped to create world peace by exposing people to all cultures. Global tourism has also contributed to the aviation industry, which has simultaneously dropped sharply thanks to this deliberate global lockdown. Tourism has been responsible for creating direct and indirect jobs, when looked at closely, actually has accounted for 1 out of 10 of ALL jobs worldwide.

After discussing with REAL SOURCES, the very proposal that lockdowns may be needed to save the planet since they have been able to reduce CO2 but cutting off international travel as well as commuting. This has been a deliberate effort to use this virus which has NOT been any more lethal than the flu and has impacted the elderly as is the case with the flu to shut down the world economy and destroy its underpinnings to open the door for this Great Reset being pushed by Klau Schwab and his World Economic Forum.

When we look at American Airlines, for example, the two most important turning points will be the 1st quarter of 2021 and 2022. We would need a Quarterly closing back abobve $35.50 just to raise any hope of normalcy. Nevertheless, as long as this low holds, we may be in for a fight against these people who are using the virus to lockdown the world economy to reduce CO2. Nevertheless, the number of Directional Changes appear to be confined to 2021 with volatility starting to rise going into 2022.

We most certainly live in interesting times.
