Russiagate – The Slow Drip of the Coup to Take over Russia | Armstrong Economics:
Little by little the truth is starting to surface with respect to the
blackmail of Yeltsin and the attempt to take over Russia during the 2000
election. Now the former British National Crime Agency international
corruption boss, Jon Benton, says he was ordered to stop an
investigation into Russian money laundering. He was the head of the UK
international corruption. He says that a senior official from the
Foreign Office told him to shut down his investigation. Why? The Daily
Mail has reported that his perspective was that the Government was not
tackling Vladimir Putin's cronies who stash their wealth overseas.
Benton claims he was given a 37-page dossier about London-based money
laundering by Russian crime syndicates linked to the Kremlin. The entire
problem is that he has, unintentionally, misinterpreted the order to
shut the investigation down. That directive was not to protect Putin's
friends, but to prevent the truth coming out about the attempt to stage a
coup led by the New York bankers to seize control of Russia. The
governments have gone after Putin's friends using the Magnitsky Act. So
Benton's interpretation does not make sense. It was far more likely that

Gov Cuomo says People are Fleeing NY Because of Weather not Taxes | Armstrong Economics:
New York State Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo has blamed the upstate
extremely cold weather (Global Warming) for the reason people have been
fleeing his state NOT taxes. This comes as no surprise, for Democrats
are closet Marxists and love more taxes and assume the people love to be
taxed and always ask for more. Like the Global Warming people who
ignore all history before 1850, Cuomo prefers to ignore the fact that
the American Revolution slogan was: "No Taxation Without Representation"
The stunning thing is how politicians always play with fire and never
learn from the past. Since 1500, there have been 354 tax rebellions in
the world. Back in 2014, French vegetable farmers set a tax office and a
building on fire in protest. I don't think that had to do with weather.
In fact, there is an average of every 1.46 years for a tax rebellion
somewhere in the world. I moved to Florida to get closer to Global
Warming - TRUE. But my lawyer also told me if I died, to tell my family
to drag my body across the river before they told the State of New
Jersey. Then, even if we held a conference in Hong Kong, we had to pay
almost 10% to the State of New Jersey just for the privilege of being

The Millennial Crisis | Armstrong Economics:
There is a serious economic crisis brewing that few seem to be paying
attention. According to a new survey from Zillow Group Inc. (ZG - Get
Report), approximately 22.5% of millennials ages 24 through 36 are
living at home with their moms or both parents, up nine percentage
points since 2005 which was 13.5% and the most in any year in the last
decade. Between the student loans which cannot be discharged thanks to
the Clintons (to get the support of bankers) even after they find that
degrees are worthless when 60% of graduates cannot find employment with
such a degree and the fact that taxes have escalated to nearly
doubling over the last 20 years that is predominantly state and local,
the affordability of buying a home has been fading fast. Despite the
fact that millennials are eager to enter the real estate market, they're
bearing the brunt of the challenge directly caused by the combination
of taxes and nondischargeable student loans. Now 63% of millennials
under the age of 29 cannot even afford the cost of homeownership,
according to a CoreLogic and RTi Research study. The expense, in fact,
is their number one reason for remaining a renter. In their research,
they concluded that
Marriage on the Decline but So is Divorce? | Armstrong Economics:
The big hoopla is that the divorce rate has declined among Millennials.
University of Maryland professor Philip Cohen found that from 2008 to
2016, the U.S. divorce rate dropped by 18%. Around the globe, the number
of unmarried women has been rising The numbers seem to point to women
and men are not simply postponing marriage, but forgoing it altogether.
Indeed, in the USA, the trend is moving to just live together. Many are
saying it is just cheap to live that way these days. Among women in
their late 30s or early 40s, 29% are unmarried in Denmark. In Italy
where the family has been more of a tradition, still, 18% remain
unmarried in the same group. Cross over the Mediterranean to Lebanon and
the number is 22% and move to Libya and it jumps to 32%. In the United
States, one in six women remains unmarried in her early forties or
almost 17% which is a record high with the same level in Japan. What is
happening is the age difference is rising to return more to the
historical norm. Boys just mature slower than girls and as the younger
girls give up on the same age boys, the marriages are lasting longer as
they did before Holywood turned lust into love at first sight. Curious

Solar Minimum – Biggest Decline Maybe Ever | Armstrong Economics:
The sun is entering perhaps one of the deepest Solar Minima in
thousands of years. Sunspots have been absent for most of 2018. This is
really alarming. Since the start of 2018, there have been totally
spotless days for weeks. The sun's ultraviolet output has sharply
declined and this is not going to end well. We can see that this decline
in Solar Cycle #24 has been a rapid decline that is twice as fast than
any previously. Already the the upper atmosphere is losing heat energy.
NASA has conceded that if the current trend continues, this could become
a dramatic cold period far worse than many people suspect. The Global
Warming crowd is leading the world down a dangerous path because they
have been paid $1 billion to create fake research in order to raise
taxes as they have been doing in Europe and Canada. Our computer us
projecting a very serious decline in sunspot activity. This will be the
backdrop to the rise in agricultural prices we see between 2020 and
2024. Of course, thanks to the Global Warming people, it will be too
late to prepare.

want and I need to understand WHY the dxy was in bull market between
march 2000 and feb 2002, from 102 to 113. you are unbelievable when
times come to understand economic history. I can't find any explanation
about this period M2 supply decreased softly the twin deficit stood

8% !!! Interest rates were declining stock indexes were very bear from
the tech turnmoil Gold was bottoming from 420 to 380 with a reverse
pattern during summer 2001. the dxy rise more than 3% after the bottom

Guantanamo Bay & Covering Up Mistakes | Armstrong Economics:
QUESTION: You once mentioned that Guantanamo Bay was a violation of
human rights and Obama had pledged to close it when he ran for office
the first time. Yet it is still open. Why is America acting in a manner
it condemns others? FG ANSWER: The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a
United States military prison located within Guantanamo Bay Naval Base
they call GTMO. It is on the coast of Guantánamo Bay in Cuba. Since the
inmates have been detained indefinitely without trial and several
detainees have allegedly been tortured, the operations of this camp are
considered to be a major breach of human rights by Amnesty
International. I fully agree. I have some actual Washington sources on
this subject. They tried to release some quietly and sent them back in
jeans and T-Shirts. They were killed back home because (1) these people
are not terrorists, and (2) they assumed they were now working for the
CIA. These people have NEVER been given a trial because there is no
evidence. If they were terrorists, they would have put them on trial and
paraded them as a huge victory. You must ask - Why have they not done
that? The famous Guantanamo prisoner, the only one put on trial, and he
was acquitte
Beware of the Real Debt Crisis on the Horizon – not the BS on TV | Armstrong Economics:
We have to come to the reality that from 2019 onward, we are headed
into a Pension Crisis that will be serious. Many are starting to yell
about the debt crisis. They lump on private debt and yell its a bubble.
What they miss entirely is the fact that we face more than a decade of
crises that would have been avoidable, had governments been actually
managers and central bank had not tried to keep using Keynesian Demand
Side Economics that even Paul Volcker warned back in 1978 had failed.
This is by no means prophecies of doom and gloom. Unfortunately, they
are prophecies not even of a pessimist, but only facts that are
comprehensible simply using a pocket calculator and not even a computer.
The Pension Crisis is the end of Socialism. Promises that were made
which were never sustainable but were a scheme to win votes. Then the
money needed to pay the pension required 8% interest annually. Then the
central banks enter the game and mess everything up even more. Instead
of DIRECTLY aiding the economy, they lower rates and HOPE that the banks
will pass it along. They never did. The banks parked the money at the
Excess Reserve Window that the Fed has still not closed. The cost of
pensions
Did Victory Become our Guardian Angel? | Armstrong Economics:
QUESTION: I was told that Michael the Arc Angel was fashioned after
Victory. Is that true? ANSWER: Well it is hard to say that he
specifically was fashioned after the ancient image of Victory, which
goes back to Greek times - pre-Roman. There is the Greek statue in the
Louvre of Victory or Nike standing on the prow of a ship. You obviously
see the wings after which Christians at least adopted the image of an
angel. The personification of military Victory is, at least on the
coins, one of the most enduring of Roman depictions. The direct
counterpart to the Greeks' Nike, Victoria figures prominently not only
as one of the most generic coin types but is also heavily rendered
in Roman friezes, statuary, and jewelry from one end of the empire to
the other. It would be difficult to find an emperor who did not strike a
VICTORIA AVG issue whether the reign was beset by wars or enjoyed
prolonged peace. So pervasive is the iconography of this martial
protector that even the most ardent Christians were unable to dislodge
her primacy in the populace. To avoid the potentially disastrous
conflicts that might have stemmed from prohibiting her imagery and
adulation it was decided to simply Christi
Draining the Swamp & Why the New York Times is Trying to Overthrow Trump | Armstrong Economics:
There has never been any president who has been so attacked and hated
by the media in the history of the nation. Now the New York Times has
done a piece claiming that Trump was handed over $400 million from his
parents and he is neither a self-made man nor did his parents pay taxes
on handing him that money. All of this hatred is clearly designed to
protect the corruption in government. They just hate him and the people
who voted for him because they wanted the DRAIN THE SWAMP. The one thing
about history is the fact that nothing seems to ever be a first.
Following the collapse of the Roman Monetary System during the 3rd
century which bottomed in 268AD, most people who just like to blame the
government for hyperinflation never really seem to do their
investigation of events because they always ASSUME that they know the
cause and just look for the facts that support their predetermined
conclusion. There was an emperor who came to power in 270AD who appears
more like the same script of Trump's DRAIN THE SWAMP. The debasement of
the coinage was indeed pervasive. However, much of this was NOT
official, but the corruption of the bureaucracy. The corruption in the
bureaucracy was reflect
