Pious Pence Quits Race


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

Mike Pence was unlikely to make the Miami GOPe first-loser debate. Using the opportunity of his appearance before the Nevada Jewish Republican Coalition speech, pious Mike Pence exits the race with affirmations of his self-importance.

“The Bible tells us that there’s a time for every purpose under heaven. Traveling across the country over the past six months, I came here to say it’s become clear to me that it’s not my time. So, after much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today,” Pence said.

Inviting his wife Karen onto the stage, “we thank God for his amazing grace. He gave us the courage to step forward so many years ago. And the wisdom to step aside,” Pence said. “My fellow Republicans, thank you for your kindness, your support and your prayers over the many years. As we go home to Indiana, let me assure you we leave here with optimism and faith. We don’t know what the future holds. But we know who holds the future, and with faith in Him and boundless confidence in all of you, we know the best days for America and our most cherished ally for Israel, are yet to come.”  WATCH:

.

I’m sorry folks, but I’ve seen this play… this Pence performance is theatrics, and what comes next is entirely predictable.  I will not convey grace to those who shield their sanctimony behind faith.  Yes, grandma’s rules apply, civility bites my tongue, but I know what Pence is going to do in order to try and block President Trump from office.

Good riddance.

Battered conservative no more!

U.S. Launches Retaliatory Strikes Against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria


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

This could be the beginning of World War III, or just another step in the general direction.

According to the Pentagon, the U.S. just launched airstrikes against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria.

PENTAGON – Today, at President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces conducted self-defense strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups. These precision self-defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups that began on October 17.

As a result of these attacks, one U.S. citizen contractor died from a cardiac incident while sheltering in place; 21 U.S. personnel suffered from minor injuries, but all have since returned to duty. The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today’s action to make clear that the United States will not tolerate such attacks and will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests.

The United States does not seek conflict and has no intention nor desire to engage in further hostilities, but these Iranian-backed attacks against U.S. forces are unacceptable and must stop. Iran wants to hide its hand and deny its role in these attacks against our forces. We will not let them. If attacks by Iran’s proxies against U.S. forces continue, we will not hesitate to take further necessary measures to protect our people.

These narrowly tailored strikes in self-defense were intended solely to protect and defend U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria. They are separate and distinct from the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, and do not constitute a shift in our approach to the Israel-Hamas conflict. We continue to urge all state and non-state entities not to take action that would escalate into a broader regional conflict. (link)

(Via CNN) – […] Earlier Thursday, the US announced it is deploying about 900 troops to the Middle East – with the potential for many more. The US has also moved two carrier strike groups to the eastern Mediterranean Sea and an amphibious ready group closer to Israel in the waters of the Middle East.

The US strikes follow a growing number of attacks against US forces in Iraq and Syria since October 17. As of Thursday afternoon, US forces had come under attack at least 12 separate times in Iraq and four separate times in Syria, resulting in 21 US service members suffering injuries. The Pentagon said the injuries were all minor and that the troops have returned to duty. One US civilian contractor suffered a fatal heart attack as a result of a false alarm at one of the bases in Iraq.

On Wednesday, Biden issued a strong warning to Iran about its proxies attacking US forces in the region. “My warning to the ayatollah was that if they continued to move against those troops, we will respond, and they should be prepared.” Biden also said the presence of US troops in Iraq and Syria is focused on the campaign to defeat ISIS and is not related to the ongoing conflict in Israel.

But Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian did not attempt to tamp down the tensions Thursday at an emergency session of the UN General Assembly, stating that the US “will not be spared from this fire” if the war in Gaza doesn’t end. Earlier this week, the minister had said that Iran had received two messages from the US, though he would not say how or when the messages were delivered. The first message said the US was not interested in a wider expansion of the conflict, he said, while the second urged Iran and its partners to have self-restraint. (read more)

Golden Passports


Armstrong Economics Blog/Geopolitical Re-Posted Oct 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The European Union (EU) has a new excuse to tighten travel restrictions. The European Commission published a report claiming five Caribbean states have sold “golden passports” citizenship to 88,000 individuals from around the globe, including China, Iran, and Russia.

“Investor citizenship schemes (or citizenship-by-investment programmes, also commonly referred to as “golden passports”) run by third countries with visa-free access to the EU may present a number of security risks for the EU. These schemes grant citizenship rights on the basis of local investments or against a flat fee, with low or no residence requirements, weak security checks and no genuine connection with the third country in question. The third countries concerned often advertise those schemes as ‘golden passports’ with the express purpose of allowing visa-free travel to the Union to third-country nationals that would otherwise be visa required,” the report states.

These are more than merely passports as they provide a path to visa-free travel to 60 nations. The Guardian reported that these passports have a starting price of $100,000. The EU report sets out for the first time the true scale of the Caribbean passport trade, with prices starting at $100,000 a head, leading me to believe that the people of these Caribbean nations are not the main buyers.

Not only is the price tag suspicious, but the sheer number does not make sense. The Dominican Republic alone sold 34,500 of these golden passports but has a population of only 72,000. In 2015, the EU permitted citizens of certain Caribbean islands to travel visa-free for up to 90 days. Visa-free travel to countries such as the EU and US is one of the key benefits advertised by Caribbean citizenship by investment schemes.

So, the European Union already announced that a mere passport will not grant people entry beginning in 2024. Those traveling to Europe must apply for authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) before their visit. Now, that restriction on free movement was implemented before the 88,000 golden passports came to light, so we can expect harsher restrictions. The European Commission now says it must overhaul regulations as it is concerned that these passports could be enabling the “infiltration of organized crime, money laundering, tax evasion, and corruption.” This is one of many reasons that I have warned travel will become increasingly difficult as we go down the long road to 2032.

Tyson Foods to Use BUGS to Create Our Food


Armstrong Economics Blog/Great Reset Re-Posted Oct 23, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The climate change psy-ops has simply gone too far. Schwab’s World Economic Forum has become like a cult declaring our last days are ahead unless we abide by asinine laws. Those promoting the Great Reset have said countless times that WE will begin to eat bugs to save the planet, and meat will no longer be available to us. Now Tyson Foods announced it acquired a minority stake in the bug protein startup company, Protix.

According to the company’s website:“Protix is the world leader in insect ingredients. We believe that feeding the growing world population should go hand in hand with protecting our beautiful planet. A huge challenge! Fortunately, the solution lies in nature itself: insects provide low-footprint proteins and other nutrients that can be processed into more sustainable feed and food.”

The website goes on to claim:“Why do we love insect ingredients? Because they’re the answer to many of the problems the world is facing today. Insect ingredients have a lower footprint than many of the ingredients commonly used in feed and food. Our insects need very little room to grow, making for far less land use than traditional ingredients. They also need less water and have lower CO₂ emissions. Plus… insects are nature’s greatest ‘upcyclers’ and thus a natural solution to the huge problem of food waste.”

Tyson said it will begin to normalize the consumption of bugs by placing it in pet food, aquaculture, and livestock production. The company will “upcycle food manufacturing byproducts into high-quality insect proteins and lipids.” So they even want to fill the animals we eat with insects and change their diets as well. Grand View Research stated that insect protein consumption will grow by 27.4% by 2028, a half cycle before 2032, when the people rise up and demand change. Governments want us sick and helpless.

Has the Rule of Law Collapsed in Germany?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Germany Re-Posted Oct 21, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

I want to explain an incident when I was doing a world tour for the Forecaster Movie. In Europe, there would be a question-and-answer period after the film concluded. I was in Frankfurt, and a woman stood up and said this is what was wrong with America. It always protected the bankers. She was stunned at how they could keep me in prison on civil contempt with trial and no defined charges at all. She said this was not the first example of the corrupt American legal system.

Then, a German lawyer stood up and corrected her. He said in Germany, what the US did to me, they do all the time to Germans.

Reiner Fuellmich, is an attorney and international freedom advocate. He has taken a major step to investigate the criminal activity of politicians in COVID. Because Germany did not charge him, they would have to put on a case and extradite him back to Germany. They illegally kidnapped him from Mexico, which is a complete violation of international law.

This is a warning to everyone. The rule of law has completely collapsed. Nothing matters anymore. These governments are simply desperate because they know they are losing power. Just as the US imposed sanctions on Russia, that divided the world economy and sent a warning to every other nation that if they do not do as the United States Neocons demand, they too will be removed from the global financial system. The ramifications now have many preparing alternatives to this insane tyranny.

There is nothing we can do. Just as Communism collapsed from its own weight, the West will suffer the same fate by 2032. This is NOT my wish nor my opinion. Our computer’s forecast has been spot on when it comes to its geopolitical forecasts for many years.

Travelers will need Authorization to Enter the EU in 2024


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Be prepared as the freedom of movement will begin to decline as we move toward 2032. Starting in 2024, those traveling to Europe will need to apply for authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) before their visit. The new regulations are called the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS). When the system launches in early 2024, it will require ALL visitors who currently travel to Europe visa-free, such as citizens from the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, to apply for travel authorization and receive approval prior to their departure.

The authorization is not exactly a visa and does not require visa-like obligations to travel, the European Commission claims. The goal of ETIAS is to increase security within the EU as they can no longer identify the enemy. America and others have compromised their borders and there are many with ill will amongst us. They claim the length of time that Americans will be able to spend in Europe as a tourist is not changing, but how will anyone be able to travel outside their respective country during an ongoing global conflict? So US passport holders are allowed to stay up to 90 days within a 180-day period, but for any stay longer than 90 days, a special visa is required.

If you travel outside of your respective country, depending on where you live, you’re on your own. Biden has abandoned American naturals in Israel and Palestine, forcing those in Israel to take out a loan merely to travel to a neighboring country. Restrictions are rarely removed once implemented as the US saw after the Patriot Act was introduced post-9/11. Our ability to travel and move freely throughout nations is coming to a halt.

Kissinger: Allowing Migrants in Europe was a Grave Mistake


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Where will the displaced people go when their homes are destroyed during this senseless war? No Arab nation has offered to take in Palestinian refugees. They fear the US and West knocking on their door too as the enemy hides behind the civilians. Henry Kissinger recently came out and said that Europe made a “grave mistake.”

“It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts, because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that,” Kissinger stated. This comes on the heels of pro-Hamas, not pro-Palestine, protests emerging across Germany. In fact, violent protests are emerging across all of Europe. “The Middle East conflict has the danger of escalating and bringing in other Arab countries under the pressure of their public opinion,” Kissinger noted.

Egypt, Palestine’s neighbor, has made it clear that they will not permit their Arab brothers and sisters to enter. Egypt has deployed troops to its border with Palestine to ensure no one enters.  King Abdullah II of Jordan also said that refugees are not welcome. “There will be no refugees in Jordan and no refugees in Egypt,” the king stated. “That is a red line, because I think that is the plan by certain of the usual suspects to try and create de facto issues on the ground,” Abdullah added. He believes Israel is trying to send residents of Gaza toward the Rafah border.

“The whole region is on the brink of falling into the abyss,” Abdullah said. “All our efforts are needed to make sure we don’t get there. We have a common goal to prevent a conflagration in the region,” the chancellor said. “I once again expressly warn Hezbollah and Iran not to intervene in this conflict.”

Now Biden is heading to the Middle East to show others how weak our nation has become politically. Blinken wants to establish safe zones for the Palestinians across the Middle East, but the leaders there are saying NO do not involve us in your war. No Arab nation will open its border to Palestinians, but the West, with a completely different standard of reality, must do its part to accept people who do not fit in their society. And then those same people later chant that they want to see the very nations that accepted them destroyed.

European Commission Announces Triple Funding for Palestinian/Hamas Effort


Posted originally on the CTH on October 17, 2023 | Sundance 


EU President Ursula von der Leyen has pledged to provide the Palestinian/Hamas effort with $50 million in supplemental assistance to support the resistance effort against Israeli retaliation.

EU Announcement – “President Ursula von der Leyen spoke to the Secretary General of the UN António Guterres this afternoon, in the context of her on-going contacts with regional leaders.

Following this call, she said: “The Commission will immediately increase the current humanitarian aid envelope foreseen for Gaza by 50 million euros. This will bring the total to over 75 million euros. We will continue our close cooperation with the UN and its agencies to ensure that this aid reaches those in need in the Gaza strip. The Commission supports Israel’s right to defend itself against the Hamas terrorists, in full respect of international humanitarian law. We are working hard to ensure that innocent civilians in Gaza are provided support in this context.”

Commissioner Lenarčič said: “The Commission is doing everything in its power to provide humanitarian support to civilians in the Gaza strip. This tripling of EU humanitarian assistance will help ensure that civilians in Gaza can be provided with the basic necessities required. It is essential that safe and unrestricted access for humanitarian aid is ensured.”  (Read more)
