Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong thinks the New World Order’s so-called “Great Reset” plan for humanity now needs war to try and make it work.
It could happen in the next few weeks.
Armstrong explains, “What they are trying to do is deliberately poke the bear…”
“They are increasing the pressure on just about everything under the sun. The West needs World War III. They just need it. The real problem here is they went to negative interest rates in 2014 in Europe. They have been unable to stimulate the economy, and Keynesian economics have completely failed…
I would say this is mismanagement of government on a global scale. The problem is that central banks have no control over the economy.
Add to this, this type of inflation is substantially different than a speculative boom. This inflation is based upon shortages. These morons with covid… with lockdowns, ended up destroying the supply chains…
Things that are there, I buy extra of because next time it might be gone. So, everybody is increasing their hoarding…
So, what we have with Europe, with its negative interest rates, they have wiped out all the pension funds. They need 8% to break even, not negative rates. There is not a pension fund in Europe that is solvent at this stage of the game. . . . The European government is collapsing. If they end up defaulting, you are going to have millions of people down there with pitch forks storming the parliament. So, to avoid that, they need war…
The Biden Administration has deliberately destroyed the world economy.”
If there is war in Europe, the “U.S. dollar will get stronger initially and not weaker” according to Armstrong. Armstrong also says,
“This is all deliberate. There is no return to normal here. Unfortunately, this is where we are headed.”
Armstrong contends, war in Europe could break out in a couple of weeks, and the EU and NATO are pushing this. Armstrong says,
“They want Russia to do something. . . . This thing with Russia is the same thing all over again. Unfortunately, we are headed for war.”
Armstrong also talks in detail about the following subjects: Digital currency and why the Deep State is pushing so hard for it; gold, silver, food and just about everything going way up in price because of shortages.
Armstrong recommends that people “stockpile two years of food.” Armstrong has other tips for what the common man needs to stock up on; Armstrong also says President Trump is the only President he knew that cared about U.S. soldiers dying in combat. This is why Trump wanted to bring the troops home, and the Deep State warmongers hated him for it.
Armstrong also gives his predictions on who wins the midterm election this coming November. Will it matter which party comes out on top?
In closing, Armstrong says,
“We are not getting back to normal. The system is crumbling from within, and it’s just like the fall of Rome, basically.”

... we have laws against their acts.

Laws need to be enforced. The lawmakers are corrupted. The law enforcers are corrupted. The law interpreters are corrupted.
The average person sees the above and figures they don’t need to respect the law, they just need to have enough juice or luck or leverage to not be beholden to it. They dedicate themselves to the Great Loophole(s).
The sly fox sets up a den inside the chicken run and harvests just enough eggs and chicks over time to feed themselves and raise a few generations of fox. The farmer doesn’t notice and neither do the chickens, until, one day, there are more fox than chickens and suddenly....overnight, for no known reason... all the chickens are gone.
Meanwhile, the farmer decides to raise hogs, because obviously, there is no percentage in raising chickens.
The plutocrats bought the world. They consolidated their holdings, hired or purchased the essential minions, and now, they are clearing out the vermin prior to taking full ownership.
The smart and the savvy are working for the plutocrats. The rest of us are being dispossessed. For some reason, the owners of the world seem committed to following the letter of the law, while subverting its essence.
It seems to be working for them.

“He needs trashed at every opportunity since he ran a multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme and stole over $700 million in the final count...Martin A. Armstrong is a criminal.”
Literally a convicted criminal sentenced to 11 years.
But our deluded conspiracy addled liberaltarians, have him close to their hearts.
Re Bigly > He may be solid & have it all right, seems big on the status quo. But...anyone here for 15 months or so is still a newbie in my book.
“But if rates go up, the lender is basically screwed .”
Banks use different hedging techniques to mitigate interest rate risk on mortgages.
This is a good explanation of how its done:
https://www.quora.com/How-do-banks-hedge-interest-rate-risk?share=1
The point is that SOMEONE is sitting there with a 3% investment that is basically paying a negative interest rate when you account for inflation. And they’re stuck with it for the next 30 years if I live long enough to see the end of it and I don’t move.
That is not a hedging technique by definition. If you dont own the “thing”, you are out, there is no risk to hedge.
Plus you are confusing monetary inflation with demand/supply price increases. Investors focus on mainly the former when loaning money “If I loan X number of dollars, what will those dollars be worth when I am repaid”.
Your 8% inflation is today. Bond holders forecast what it will be over a 20 or 30 year bond period. Does a startup business base a 20 year business plan on what the P&L will be in year one? No of course not.
More re Bigly:
He still thinks Ozzie and Harriet is on TV.
Today’s mass media shows Trans couples with pet wolves.
Current US foreign policy is to make the world safe for perverts—Bigly just hasn’t gotten the memo yet.
The 8% inflation rate is "today."
The SHORT TERM U.S. Treasury yields are less than 0.4% (one month), 0.8% (two month), and 1.25% (six month). Someone is losing a ton of real money on these things.
You are comparing price increases to monetary inflation. If your rent is going up 25% in one year, are you “losing money” on an investment just because it will only gain 20% during that time? Do you not investment in something if it will not cover the price increase of a new car next year, stock goes up 6% with new cad goes up 12%?

I haven’t watched it, but it sounds like it may be worth a viewing.
Your assumption drawn out to it’s logical conclusion is that all the traders and portfolio managers are dim witts and do not know how to properly price the inveztments they buy and sell. They control the yields on bills, notes, and bonds, not the FED.
Except the FED has about $9 trillion on its balance sheet, and about two-thirds of that is U.S. government debt. At the height of the COVID fiasco it was buying $120 billion worth of bonds every month.

Not at all. My assumption drawn out to its logical conclusion — which was the basis of my original post on this thread — is that this isn’t a “free market” anymore and has all the characteristics of a rigged game.
The FED IS NOT buying bonds cuurently so who is doing the rigging right now?
“The central bank has purchased over $4.5 trillion worth of those assets since the pandemic tanked the economy in March of 2020. According to the minutes, the Fed will start getting rid of those bonds to the tune of $95 billion a month.”
They are now “rigging” yields higher, how does that support your explanation for yields right now? (hint - it doesn’t)
Get back to me in a few months. At a time of international turmoil a short-term U.S. Treasury bond would be seen as a “safe haven” for institutional investors.
By then recession signs will be quite evident and getting priced in so I don’t think the calvary will come over the hill for you then. We’ll see.
