… am agnostic, of course, because if not I would be 100% in long puts against all except equities of resources, which I am not

However, I take note of the logic of what Armstrong is saying, albeit am skeptical of the timing.

The video is alarming. As far as food goes, we have enough for 30 days, but not a year.

Not fact-checked, but Martin says the eDollar bill authorizes the Treasury to issue digital dollars, taking power away from the Fed, giving ‘us’ what we always wished for, a weaker FED … but … but … i for one certainly did not figure I wished US Treasury to issue money (ala the trillion dollar platinum coin).

I do not know whether Martin is crazy or sensational or what have you, but, a big but, if he is right, all in trouble. Gold is a consolation prize but one that we might not dare or allowed to spend.

Martin makes at least one good point, that being ‘… Russia has neocons too, and compared to Putin, Putin is a moderate

Martin mentioned a documentary by Oliver Stone that I was vaguely aware of and searched using Google. I do not like what I see if true. I am alarmed, truth be told.

Question of the Day, is the documentary telling anything close to truth?

I do not know.

"The West Needs WWIII" - Martin Armstrong Warns "There's No Return To Normal Here"

Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com,

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.

[url=][/url]

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."
(There is much more in the nearly 1 hour interview.)

France's Macron Rejects Biden's "Genocide" Claim Against Russia

Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,

French President Emmanuel Macron wouldn’t back President Biden’s claim earlier in the week that Russia is committing “genocide” in Ukraine. The French leader instead warned that an escalation of rhetoric wouldn’t bring peace.

Macron accused Russia of “war crimes” in Ukraine but favors diplomacy as the best way to end the fighting. “I want to try as much as possible to continue to be able to stop this war and to rebuild peace. I’m not sure that verbal escalations serve this cause,” he said.

Macron is one of the few Western leaders who has maintained contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since Russia invaded on February 24. Biden hasn’t spoken with Putin, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken hasn’t spoken with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, since February 15.

For his stance, Macron has come under fire from Ukrainian officials and other NATO countries. Last week, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki slammed the French leader for talking with Putin, likening it to “negotiating with Hitler.”

Ukrainian officials also criticized Macron for not agreeing with Biden’s claims of genocide. Macron said it was best to be careful with such terminology, and described Russians and Ukrainians as “brotherly peoples.”

On the same day Biden accused Russia of genocide, Newsweek published an article quoting a senior official from the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency who said the civilian casualties in Ukraine are typical of modern warfare and “hardly” amount to genocide.

Below is the key quote from the DIA official:
The official, who has been conducting intelligence analysis of the Ukraine war and requested anonymity to discuss classified matters and share personal views, says the Bucha effect led to frozen negotiations and a skewed view of the war.
"I am not for a second excusing Russia's war crimes, nor forgetting that Russia invaded the country," says the DIA official.
"But the number of actual deaths is hardly genocide. If Russia had that objective or was intentionally killing civilians, we'd see a lot more than less than .01 percent in places like Bucha," the official emphasized.
