US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit Beijing this weekend. Blinken was originally scheduled to visit China in February, but it was delayed after Chinese spy balloons entered US airspace. Sending Blinken to China is like sending a thief to rob the headquarters of the National Rifle Association. Blinken has repeatedly offended China and gushed over the prospects of war. China does not want war, they repeatedly requested for the US to stay out of its affairs.
The meeting is already off to a bad start here. Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang called Blinken on Tuesday to remind him to “show respect” before he arrives. CNN already reported that Blinken plans to discuss Taiwan and will “advocate strongly” for military communications. These do not align with the main goals of the meeting which is intended to discuss global macroeconomic stability, global security matters, and establishing proper communication channels. China’s military is not going to form an open line of communication with the US military. China does not advocate the war in Ukraine and has repeatedly tried to remain neutral.
“I hope that the U.S. side will take practical actions to implement the important consensus of the meeting between the two heads of state in Bali, move in the same direction as the Chinese side, effectively manage differences, promote exchanges and cooperation, and promote the stabilization of China-US relations,” Qin said, according to the South China Morning Post. This will not happen. If the US wanted to stabilize relations with China, they would send anyone other than Blinken.
The US is fanning the flames of war and is the aggressor in this situation. They continue to antagonize China, hoping that Beijing will make a move either with Russia or Taiwan so that they can jump on the opportunity for war. The neocons are not concerned about our economy, the lives of the people, or maintaining relations with America’s top trading partner. Expect the headlines early next week to read “Relations Between China and the US Further Deteroriate.”

Comrades, dissident voice Tucker Carlson continues broadcasting his rebellious monologues on Twitter. For his latest episode 4, Carlson notes the new American dictatorship. {Direct Rumble Link} – WATCH:
QUESTION: Dear Sir, With regard to your recent blog post – [ https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/word-of-warning-they-cant-put-trump-in-prison-but-they-can-you-for-protesting/ ]… … you included the ECM chart depicting the decline and fall of the United States. You have an encyclopedic understanding of the cyclical rise and fall of empires. Seeing as how the USA presently constitutes a veritable empire in most respects, are you able to comment on the synergy between an empire and its satellite constituents – ie, do the ECMs for the Five Eyes nations synchronize with the United States, or do they diverge? Regards PK
The Five Eyes (FVEY) is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States demonstrates one thing – the rest of the West is not included. Yet 2032 is more than just the culmination of the current 51.6-year wave of the Economic Confidence Model. It is the subsequent set of 309.6 years waves from the peak in the Roman Empire which all historians draw the line in history as the reign of Marcus Aurelius (161-180AD). That was when Marcus sent an ambassador to the Emperor of China.
If you read Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations, you are left with the feeling that there is nothing new. History repeats because human nature itself has never changed and people will always act in their own self-interest no matter what century. All we have ever witnessed through time in the memorial is fake news steeped in opinion rather than fact.
Our model on NYC also showed that it turned decisively down from 2022. NYC will only get worse now going into 2026. The fascinating aspect is that 2022 was a key turning point on so many issues around the world. Trump’s arrest is just throwing the Rule of Law into the garbage bin because the Neocons are scared to death that if he ever regained power, he would strip them of all power.
Even when we look at Russia v Ukraine, that too shifted in 2022. The war is likely to escalate globally by April 2024. The Neocons are desperate and intend to create war involving US troops before the 2024 election. They are counting on the fact that no president has ever lost during time of war. They need their puppet Biden in office and no other.
We see that the last turning point was November 23, 2022. That is when China’s sales of US Treasuries made a new historic low taking out the low of 2010. This will continue to decline as they clearly expect war with the United States going into 2027. By February 2023, the warmonger Neocon Secretary of State Blinken warned China there will be consequences if they aid Russia in the war in Ukraine.
The Neocons have ZERO concern for the US economy or its people. We are secondary to their objectives if we even rank in second place or anywhere in their minds. They could care less about the budget and will print money recklessly to achieve their end goal which is to dominate the world no different than they have claimed China and Russia seek to do. Fools who think inflation will subside make the assumption that we have a normal viable economy. We are living in a midst of a coup that has seized full control of the United States and they have whipped Congress into a war frenzy that is against the people and our own interests.
All their plans and Schwab’s WEF to create this authoritarian world where democracy does not exist on any level as Schwab has always made clear, they want to end our right to even vote. When we elected Trump, democracy suddenly became “populism” which was evil because it was targeted at them and their endless wars with endless corruption.
Populism was then the #1 crisis because they could lose power. They had to stop Trump and now they are actually seeking to imprison him for life where he will no doubt commit suicide like Jeffrey Epstein.
This is the culmination of the Sixth Wave also on the 309.6 Year Cycle. This is the complete collapse of our current form of Republican Government. They know they are losing power. They can kill Trump, but they cannot extinguish human nature. More and more people are awakening. Schwab’s idea of ushering in his version of the Great Reset which I believe he has taken from our 2032 forecast, is his desperate attempt to move to the next stage from Socialism to Authoritarianism. Communism collapsed because it was against human nature. So will this entire scheme to strip us of all our rights and in the end, we will restore our freedom and rid ourselves of these types of people.
If someone like Lindsey Grahm robbed a 711 and took pleasure in killing customers, you would call him a vicious psychopath. What is the difference to take pleasure in killing anyone?
The vilification of Putin has been extremely successful, so much so that no one is listening to his words. The Russian leader recently spoke of conflict resolution. That is not something a warmonger hellbent on conquering nations would discuss. And yet, Putin seems to be the only world leader discussing the potential of resolving the conflict in Ukraine without escalation.
“We sincerely tried to reach an agreement [with Ukraine]. It was difficult to negotiate some kind of patchwork of southeastern Ukraine with the rest of the country, but we tried in good faith,” Putin told military correspondents according to Sputnik news. He also reiterated that their intent regarding Ukraine has not changed. He is not attempting to resurrect the USSR or threaten other nations. Putin only wants the historically Russian territories in Ukraine. Why are we starting a world war over this wish that does not involve other nations?
“What is happening there [in Ukraine] now will certainly never suit us, historically speaking. When the negotiations were held, including in Istanbul, we constantly raised this issue, and they in turn told us: ‘But there is nothing neo-Nazi about us, what do you want from us?’ [Russia wants] at least some relative legislative restrictions. In general, we also agreed on this during the round of negotiations before our troops were withdrawn from Kiev and after they threw all our agreements out of the window,” Putin said. Every attempt at conflict resolution was denied by the neocons. The very agreement that could have prevented Russia from entering Ukraine in the first place was based on a lie.
“We wanted and we still want to have the best relations with all our neighbors after the collapse of the Soviet Union. And we do so, we have come to terms with… Well, that’s what’s happened. We have to live with it,” Putin plainly stated.
It is amazing how the media portrays him as a crazed man intent on destroying the world. I discuss the propaganda techniques used at length in my new book, “The Plot to Seize Russia.” Listen to his words because is intentions are clear. He has no desire to feud with the West. ” If they really want today’s conflict to end through negotiations, they only need to make one decision – to stop the supply of weapons and equipment. That’s it,” Putin declared. The problem is that they do not want to resolve the conflict by any means other than war. Russia clearly does not want war and has been asking the world to listen to their pleas for peace.
America seems to have lost all true allies. Once the world police, the US has been expected to “save” democracies worldwide since the First World War. The US pledges more to NATO than any other member and has gifted Ukraine endless supplies to protect Europe from “Russian aggression.” Yet, a new poll states that Europeans would not want to back America in a war against China.
Six thousand people were surveyed from Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Sweden. Only a quarter of respondents said they’d “like their country, or Europe, to take America’s side,” while 62% would like to remain neutral. Around 43% said China is a “necessary partner” to the EU, and they must “strategically cooperate” with Beijing. Bulgarians were the most likely to side an alliance with China (8%) and/or consider the nation a “necessary partner” (58%). Swedes were the most willing to support the US, with 26% calling China an adversary. About 31% of Poles also said they would side with America if they were to go to war with China.
What will happen to America’s allies when China becomes the more strategic trading partner? American politicians have destabilized our economy and are attempting to steer away from capitalism. Countries will be lining up to sell to China, and not the US.
In the end, it does not matter. The people are never permitted to vote on whether or not we go to war. Most of us, regardless of nationality, simply want peace. We all want to have enough to live comfortably, which is not an option during wars. They ask us to sacrifice, but for what? Our politicians create conflict and send the people, who never had a say in the first place, into battle to die.
If China enters Taiwan, the world will erupt into chaos. The neocons have been waiting for that very moment to justify a new war. Every NATO member nation would be required to fight China. A Gallup poll from February showed that 65% of Americans wanted to support Ukraine against Russia, but they likely do not realize what it entails. We are not merely giving Ukraine supplies; we are preparing for a worldwide battle. In the end, the people are merely cannon fodder and I hesitate to show any support to a politician who believes war is the only option for conflict resolution.
COMMENT: Imagine Canadians bombing Quebec and outlawing the French language and French-speaking people.
My guess is Quebec will eventually use this opportunity to separate from Canada!
The propaganda is so thick!!
Thanks from the Great White North for being a voice of Reason and Truth!!

REPLY: Both of my Ukrainian employees have fled to Berlin. Over 8.2 million refugees have fled Ukraine all across Europe. In addition, an estimated 8 million others had been displaced all because Zelensky refuses to negotiate. I get emails from the refugees and they blame all of this on Zelensky. They fear they will never return and his dreams of bringing Blackrock are just insane. To rebuild Ukraine will take more than a decade. He has robbed these people of peace all for the Donbas which is occupied by Russians for centuries who he/Lindsey Grahm hates.
He can always wear the same army T-Shirt for his propaganda war and put on a helmet to pretend he is a soldier. At the end of this, history will remember him in the same choir as Hitler and Stalin, and Mao.
Ukraine is so dishonest a government and it is always seeking unlimited money from the West, we really need to overthrow all Western leaders who support Ukraine. There are so many who KNOW that Ukraine blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam because it would cut off the water supply for Crimea. Just like Nord Stream, when that was blown up, they claimed Russia did it, when in fact all Russia had to do was turn off the valve.
Every single source I have said the same thing – UKRAINE did it! There is nobody in that government that will EVER tell the truth. Now Turkey is proposing an international investigation into the action. Of course, Ukraine rejects any investigation into anything including where the money is going or the fact that American weapons are all over the place in the black market.
All my sources have said from inside Ukraine that the Ukrainian losses have exceeded 200,000 troops. Biden finally admits that Ukrainian forces have suffered “significant” casualties as they battle to break through Russia’s defensive lines.
Ukraine has launched a land grab and pretending that the Donbas should be theirs when they hate Russians, and outlaw their language and their religion, is just shocking. Everything East of the Dnieper River was the old Russian Empire of the Tzars. That is why there are Russians living there for centuries. This would be like Mexico invading Texas and ordering everyone to speak only Spanish. The border was simply drawn by Khruschev for administrative purposes during the Soviet Union. It was NEVER Ukrainian people in that region. They never had their own country.
This entire nonsense is a proxy war against Russia and the Russian people. This will only end in World War III and as I have said, ALL of the neighbors of Ukraine do not trust Ukrainians who have always been a ethnic group of pure-blood elitists.
The West is using this as a cover because the monetary system is collapsing. They borrow year after year and have ZERO intention of ever paying off the debt. They are deliberately creating WWIII so they can all default, and shift to this one-world digital currency by the IMF which was announced on the precise day of the Economic Confidence Model confirming that is a major agenda.

Rather than write 10,000 highly specific and legally granular words to deconstruct the Trump indictment, I will share the opinion of others with supporting analysis and add some substance to the issues. Later I will compile all the various points of analysis into one very granular article.
First, it is important to always remember why this indictment is taking place. The DOJ, specifically Lisa Monaco, are continuing the offensive against Trump in large part to cover for the actions of the Obama administration in the originating targeting of their political opposition. Originating Spygate operations (’15-’16), Russiagate (’16-’17), Mueller (’17-’19), Impeachment #1 (’19-’20), Durham (’19-’23) and Jack Smith ’22-present, are all part of one long continuum of weaponized DOJ and FBI operations. The entirety of the effort is to protect the actions taken by the Obama administration. [Note to congress: Questioning Durham this month is defense key #1]
In this interview {Direct Rumble Link} Jeff Clark gives his opinion of the statutory weaknesses that exist in the case as outlined in the indictment. The first two defense approaches will likely be: (1) the Presidential Records Act supersedes the issues of document holding as noted in the use of the Espionage Act. (2) However, if the Espionage Act [Statute 793(e)] has to be defended, the originating issue of “unauthorized possession” will be the second approach heading to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. WATCH:
Granular note, putting aside the fact that classification is irrelevant to the statute being used, within the indictment please notice how the DOJ states 102 classified documents [pg 27], some that were never marked classified as noted in the indictment [count 11, page 30] but defined as classified after DOJ review, were discovered after the Trump affirmation of compliance in July 2022. This is the predicate for the FBI raid. Again, a total of 102 documents were identified as classified by the FBI/DOJ.
They were unable to use classification status as a legal mechanism to attack President Trump; instead, they use the non-production as an evidence enhancement to the ridiculous claim that Trump lied to them (sec 1001); but notice how there are only 31 documents [31 counts] outlined as national defense security issues. This would mean approximately 70 classified documents are memory holed by this special counsel.
70 defined “classified” documents retrieved, no description provided, those documents not a part of any legal contention – they just disappear. I suspect we know what those sets of documents pertained to, and they have everything to do with DOJ and FBI conduct in Russiagate.
CTH has a years-long research library on all of these Trump-Russia investigative issues, including the in-real-time background stories that encompass them, and that library is massive.
If you have a specific question, ask me in the comments section and I will do my earnest best to review and answer.
Tell me what questions you have, and I will do my best.
Be of good cheer, I really don’t think this indictment will past the first defense challenge, The Presidential Records Act.
