Chance of War Increases in Sept Genius Act War Bonds NeoCons Surrounding Trump w/ Martin Armstrong

➡ The article discusses a prediction of rising global tensions and potential war in 2026, made by a computer program called Socrates. It also introduces a new weight loss peptide, retatrutide, which is said to be more effective than others on the market as it reduces appetite and burns fat. The article further advises investing in gold and silver due to expected economic turmoil, and warns against IRA scams. Lastly, it mentions an interview with Martin Armstrong, who discusses the geopolitical situation, particularly in Ukraine, and the potential for a wartime bond-like legislation.
➡ The text discusses the power of governments in controlling the economy, with references to Marx and Keynes’ theories. It also delves into the creation and issues of the Euro, highlighting its failure to compete with the dollar due to lack of debt consolidation and bureaucracy. The text further explores the changing global financial structure, the role of the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency, and the impact of geopolitical power dynamics. Lastly, it touches on cultural differences in rule-following, particularly in Europe, and the potential for similar trends in the U.S.
➡ The text discusses various cultural differences in driving habits around the world, political shifts in countries like Germany and Britain, and the influence of neoconservatives. It also delves into the complex ethnic and religious divisions in regions like the Middle East and Ukraine, and historical conflicts that still impact relationships between countries today. Lastly, it criticizes U.S. involvement in international conflicts and suggests that some wars were entered under false pretenses.
➡ The text discusses the financial and political motivations behind wars, focusing on the role of banks and government agencies. It suggests that wars are often funded through debt, with banks buying this debt to support the war effort. The text also argues that government agencies, like NATO, perpetuate conflict to maintain their relevance and funding. Lastly, it touches on the perceived anti-Russian sentiment in Europe, suggesting it’s a result of brainwashing by NATO.
➡ The speaker shares his journey from the early days of computer programming to becoming an expert in tracking international capital flows. He developed one of the first fully functioning artificial intelligence computers, which helped him predict major financial events like the collapse of Russia. His work has led him to advise clients with trillion-dollar portfolios and interact with influential figures worldwide. He also discusses how his experience and understanding of recurring patterns in government behavior help him make accurate predictions.
➡ The speaker discusses their experiences with political figures and their understanding of global politics. They express concern about potential political tensions escalating into war, possibly by 2026, and the impact of these tensions on the global economy. They also criticize the use of sanctions and suggest that they are pushing countries to seek alternatives. The speaker questions the motives and decisions of political leaders, including Trump, and expresses disappointment in their actions.
➡ The speaker discusses global politics, financial markets, and investment strategies. They suggest that geopolitical concerns, not inflation, drive gold prices, and caution against government bonds as interest rates may rise. They also advise caution with cryptocurrencies, viewing them more as a trading vehicle than a store of wealth. Lastly, they discuss the importance of natural hedging and restructuring portfolios for large-scale asset management.
➡ The discussion revolves around the shift from cash to digital currency, and the potential issues with privacy and surveillance. It suggests that while the government can’t directly monitor our transactions, they can indirectly do so through corporations. The conversation also touches on the legality of such practices and the potential for misuse of power.

Sa Sam foreign our computer has been warning before Trump did this 50 day nonsense, all right that the tensions were going to start rising from next week onward. And the computer does it on every time level and it has a panic cycle which I’ve on war, international war for 2026. I’ve that is not something that is common. Just a short break from the program to share with you an amazing peptide to help you lose weight. It’s stronger than Ozempic and why it’s because it not only reduces your appetite but it also burns fat. These other GLP1s on the market, they do not burn fat, they just reduce your appetite.

This one retatrutide is stronger. It’s considered a next generation peptide because of that. And man, does this work. I’ve been using it for two and a half weeks and I’ve already lost 11 pounds and I cut my dose in half because I was losing weight too quickly and that kind of freaked me out to be honest. And so I also am taking this 5amino 1 mq in capsule form. This helps by making sure that you lose fat, not muscle. And so in conjunction I’m using both of these. This will work whether you have this or not.

And I am telling you it’s amazing. If you are interested in getting this, I have the link below or you can go to sarahwestel.com under shop. You can use the coupon code Sarah to save 10%.

I have the great Martin Armstrong coming to the program. He’s one interesting person. He’s going to talk about how his Socrates program has predicted that war is going to be starting in 2026. However, the 50 day period that Trump has come up with for the Ukraine situation, the Ukraine war is expediting that. He’s seeing something really starting now in September. There are a lot, there is quite a bit of movement worldwide geopolitically on this front.

Turmoil is going to rise from the, from the standpoint of war and whenever war heats up that means gold and silver will likely go up. He made the point in this interview to say that gold and silver historically does not rise with inflation, it rises with global turmoil. And that is going to be the case coming up here over the next all through 2026. So I would highly recommend that you look into gold and silver if that’s something that you’re interested in. But just don’t buy from anybody. Make sure you’re buying from somebody you can trust because we are working really hard to help people out of these IRA scams.

I have an article that I’ve been working with with an investigative journalist who used to report for Undercover DC and he worked with me to do an investigative piece because he got scammed. He got scammed on an ira. And, and so he went to Miles Franklin. They didn’t know that he was an undercover journalist. And he got his money back. And he’s gonna. He documented his whole process what happened to him and how he was dealing with Miles Franklin. So you get an idea inside how it works. If you were scammed by an ira, this may help you.

And if you’re looking at getting gold and silver, which looks like it’s a good time, I highly recommend you go to a company that you can trust that’s not going to be charging you premiums that are way too high as well. So you can go to sarah westd.com Miles Franklin if you’re interested in that. And this is my Friday night economic review. I love having Armstrong here, Martin Armstrong. I told him he’s going to be coming on a regular basis and he’s okay with that, which I’m really glad. And you have Andy Schectman coming quite a bit, as people know.

And I’m just rotating through just amazing top minds in the economic front because that’s what’s happening. We’re seeing, going to see a lot of turmoil coming forward. He believes that this new genius bill that went through legislation is really like a wartime bond, like they did in past wars. And he’s going to explain this. And it’s not what people really think. So that’s. You’re going to hear that first year. It’s like a wartime bond. So think about what that means. He’s also giving some evidence that Europe stabbed Trump in the back, that NATO may do a false flag and that September tensions are rising where that, like I said earlier, that’s where the wars might start to develop more, mostly coming out from Ukraine.

They have maybe a month. They’re on their last legs. They’ve, you know, fighting till the last man and it’s a really bad situation. He’s not a fan of Zielinski. We talk about how he is this chameleon of a neo Nazi and a Jewish person and also supporting Christianity all at once while also backstabbing every one of those groups at the same time. So he’s just not a good person to have. And he talks about his involvement. Remember the, at the Capitol when they had him and they were interrogating when there’s that big fight, he talks behind the scenes what happened and why he had a role in that.

It’s very interesting. So I hope you get a lot out of this. Again, if you are interested in gold and silver, buy from a company you can trust. Be really careful. And I know Miles Franklin is one of those companies. Sarah Wessel.com Miles Franklin and let’s get into our Friday night Economic Review with Martin Armstrong. Martin, welcome back to the program. Thank you for inviting me. Well, you know, you are I have the final, you know, the Friday night Financial Review, which I do every Friday night. And I have a lot of people that are watching it and I bring the best people on and you’re one of them.

But one thing that the people who come on my show say, this is all behind the scenes. I have multiple people say they really respect you and they so the best financial people follow you. And I think that’s a big deal. So go ahead. I think that the real difference is that there weren’t that many of us in international finance. You know, most of them are domestic. And the wild card comes from the outside, especially now. I became famous, I think, for the 87 crash, you know, the G5, you know, they were going to lower the value of the dollar by 40% to help the trade deficit.

And I said, you’re out of your mind. You realize you lower the dollar by 40%. It’s not just that you can sell widgets cheaper. All the assets in the country are also devalued. Yeah. And they had sold a third of the national debt to the Japanese. I said, they’re going to sell. Oh, why would they sell? Because they’re going to lose money, you idiot. I mean, they don’t understand international finance. And I think most of the problem is that they didn’t teach any of this stuff in school, you know, and they’re still, you know, they still teach, you know, Keynesian economics, which is all based upon fixed exchange traded Bretton woods, you know.

Well, but do you think it’s because it’s hard to have a broad world perspective because I know it’s easier. School tends to want to focus on specific things that you can prove that, that you can get your hands around. But broad thinking is something that is really hard to teach, you know, and system level thinking, I have a systems background. System level thought processes are hard to teach. Well, I can say this, that in advising corporations around the world, what I did find is that usually the CFOs have engineering degrees, not economics. That’s right. And I remember I was called into one of the mining companies in Australia that he had lost $80 million on a, on a hedge.

And he goes, well, I know your forecast. Yes, you were right on this. Could have been all, could have been coincidence. And we’re just going back and forth because the board ordered him to meet with me. And I finally, you know, it was getting frustrated. I said, what’s your background? And he got hesitant and he kind of put his head down because he says, well, you know, nuclear, you know, physics. I said, great, let’s talk about this from the second, second law of thermodynamics. He looked at me and went, oh my God, there has to be a cycle.

I said, you got it. That’s exactly right. And so you start to see things more from a logical perspective. Cycle. That’s great. Exactly. In economics, it turned out they really followed Marx in the sense that Marx was saying government has the power to control the business cycle. And his case was, you know, communism, taking assets away. But you know, Keynes came up with the same thing. Oh, the government has the power to smooth out the business cycle using taxes, deficits, interest rates. All right, he wasn’t trying to seize assets, but in a sense they were both interventionists and advocating that the government has this power and they don’t.

Well, don’t you do you have government people, you have the power to guide things, right? Because if you don’t, what I mean, we have the power to create currency, we have the power to guide things, otherwise there won’t even be wars. Go ahead. Well, there are wars because they basically get into trouble economically. But it affects it then, right? Yeah, it’s. I would, look, I would put it this way. What I’ve dealing with governments, you know, around the world, and this is my conclusion really is your parent told you, don’t stick your finger in that flame of a candle, it’s going to hurt.

You still do it. We all did it one time ago. Yeah, that did hurt. You don’t do it again. I don’t know if I did that. I think I might have known, but maybe I did, but I don’t think so. I hope I can learn from just seeing it, but go ahead. Maybe just felt the heat and he was backed off. But government doesn’t have that ability because it’s always changing. And what I’ve encountered is you get a financial crisis, a new administration’s there, or, you know, whenever you’re talking about Europe or here, and nobody ever asked the question, they come in, they go, oh, here’s.

Here’s what we should do. Oh, that sounds good. But nobody ever asked, has this been tried before? Did it work? Never. Well, there are people with experience. But let me ask you, when we have this kind of global change happening, the dollar is losing its value as it inflates. And I contest that anytime that there’s a global change of the currency happening, that’s the time that people realize this is the time we can take power. And it’s the best time to take power when there’s systematic changes in the financial global structure. And that’s why we’re seeing all this.

Yes and no. The problem is more on the European side in the sense that when they created the euro, you know, they called me in for that too, and I sat down. So, okay, this is how we create a currency. And everything they were saying was just a lie because Hermit Kohl said he knew the German people would reject going into the Ural. So he took them in without an election. And what he did was he knew the Germans would be objecting about debt. So he said, no consolidation of the debt. So back in 98, I warned, I said, this is going to fail.

You’re not going to compete with the dollar. And they told me, look, we just have to get the euro in first to create the bureaucracy. We’ll worry about the debts later, which is 26 years later. Now, from a fund manager’s perspective, I can pick up the phone and say, buy me 10 billion or 100 billion of U.S. treasuries. I can’t do that with Europe. I still have to make the same decision as if the euro didn’t exist. Do I want Germany, do I want Italy? They created a bureaucracy on top of how it already existed. They didn’t do any of the.

The benefits of having a one currency doesn’t exist. It’s just an overlying bureaucracy. This is what I warned them. I said, you know, this is going to be like the United States. Yes, we have a single currency, but you have 50 states with different credit ratings. You know, you’re not going to match the United States on this. Then Americans also don’t realize, but Europe is far more Marxist than most people. People know that they’re far more Marxist, but maybe they don’t realize how far they are. Marxists. Yeah, they cancel their currency routinely. If you have Even a British 20 pound note from 20 years ago, it’s worthless.

They cancel the currency because they don’t. They suspect that maybe you have 100,000 that you stashed in a safety deposit box and didn’t pay taxes. So how do I get that I canceled the currency, force you to come out. Oh, where’d you get this? What a bunch of creeps. But we can’t do that though because we have the, the reserve currency makes it much harder to do that anyways. Do you think that we would never done it, but would we do that if we didn’t have the reserve currency? You can’t tell me the Democrats wouldn’t have done that.

Especially where I don’t think they thought about it. But oh, that’s Europe. The problem why it emerged over there is that governments change all the time and you know, you go to war and then, okay, well, we’re not going to pay the debts of the last one. You know, they’re all bad people, you know, whatever. So that currency is defunct. You know, the German hyperinflation, when they replaced it in 1925, it was backed by real estate. But they didn’t, you know, they didn’t honor all the hyperinflation notes from before. So I mean, it’s just a routine thing.

Actually, the United States did do that. If you look at the Constitution, it says they will honor the, the debts of the Continental Congress. They never did. You can buy continental currency on ebay, you know, no problem because they never redeemed it. They’re all collector’s items now. Well, what do you see? But that was a different government. What do you see going on right now? Because you have the brics. See, this is where I get back into the. There’s a power grab going on because you have the brics and you have the downfall of the dollar.

They are doing a power grab and maybe they’re just trying to be sovereign, but there’s a huge power grab going on right now. Well, we caused it. What I mean by that is that under the Biden administration, they succeeded in what Obama failed at. When Russia went into Crimea, Obama went to Swift and said he wanted them removed and they refused. They said, you’re not going to turn the financial system into a weapon. So replaced the head of Swift and 2019 and so under the Biden administration. Well, we want sanctions, remove them from Swift. Oh, okay, whatever you want.

You know, and once they did that, that was a red flag to every other country. If you don’t do what the United States orders you to do, you will be removed from the Swift system. So that’s what created bricks. It wasn’t necessarily oh, the dollar is bad. Look, the dollar is the best currency in the world right now because we have the strongest economy, all right? I don’t care about the bricks. They still got to sell their Toyotas or whatever BMWs in dollars. All right? So it’s more of a geopolitical issue of power rather than economic.

I mean India now is, has surpassed Japan as a larger economy. So this is really what’s going on behind that scene. But what makes the dollar really the reserve currency wasn’t even a political decision. It’s the fact that we actually have a free economy insofar as it’s a consumer based economy. Whereas Europe, Germany still practices mercantilism from like the 18th century. They keep their taxes very high, regulation very high. They just want to sell things and bring the money home. Alright, so if you Google you’ll see what’s the net worth, average net worth of a German versus the rest of Europe.

You’ll see they, they’re below that of Italy. Why do people stay there and put up with that? I mean at some point why do don’t they have an exodus? It’s kind of like California having a mass exodus because they’re just getting screwed in California people or New York, it’s part of our culture. If you’ve ever been to Europe, I mean even in, in Zurich, I’ve been there 7 o’ clock in the morning trying to walk over to the Starbucks. The lights red, there’s no cars on the road and they still stand there. I walk across the road and they go, oh.

I go New York, they’re rule followers. You’re telling me. They’re very structured. Even I see the same thing in, in Poland. They will not cross the street with a red light. Forget it. Even Nobody’s around at 2 o’ clock in the morning. You know, they’re very subservient that way. Germany trained to be that way. They’re trained to be. Do you think we’re moving in that direction? I always say we’re unwieldy and we’re not tamed. But I think they’re trying to tame us to be like that. Yes. No, they were. Definitely would love that. But that was one of the.

Because I’ve lived in. In Switzerland, I’ve lived around the world in different regions. They’re not that way in Britain, but they are just about everywhere else. It’s not so much in France, though, but it’s. It’s just interesting. Yeah, But South America is. Is not that way at all. I mean, you go. Or even some of the Middle east and Africa, there’s so much not like that that. That makes me nervous because I want more structure. Like, they just go through stop signs. Like, because my family’s from Mexico, I’ll be driving and I’m driving with them. They just go through stop signs.

I’m like, there’s a stop sign. There’s a reason. There’s a stop sign. They just don’t even. I was in a. I was in a cab in Egypt and the bus stopped and he went on the sidewalk and the people were scattering and he’s going around the bus on the sidewalk. Yeah. It is a free for all. That’s definitely it. I mean, in Italy, sometimes they just won’t stop at the traffic light, and it’s your object to force the other side to stop. You know, definitely different cultures wherever you go. I like balance. I like smart. Go ahead.

You definitely get to see the differences. And, you know, in Germany, it’s definitely a bit more authoritarian and. But you are starting to see discontent. They tried outlawing the AfD in Germany, and now it’s the number one party. Yep. I had one of the leaders of the AFD on my show. Yeah, this is what’s going on. You’re seeing, you know, the Reform Party of Nigel in. In Britain now beating out Tories. I mean, same thing in. In Portugal. I mean, people are beginning to realize that this narrative for war is. It’s just a neocon agenda that the neocons move from the United States.

When they lost, they did everything they could to stop. To prevent Trump from getting it. They even had Dick Cheney endorsing Camilla. You know, that’s incredible. They just want war. And is that what it is? I mean, is it. They just. The neocons. You know, it’s a word. It’s a group of people. And what’s really behind them, they just want war. Is it because they. There’s money to be made or what’s their problem? What’s wrong with them? It’s like, come on. It’s hard to. To sort it out. I know Bill Kristol. He even spoke at one of our conferences.

His father started the neocon movement arguments with him back in the 90s. He was talking about removing Saddam out of Iraq, Assad out of Syria, and Gaddafi. Oh, then we’ll bring peace to the Middle East. I said, no, you won’t. I said, what? You know, have you ever been there? It’s tribal. We drew these borders. Not then. When you carved up the Ottoman Empire, they see themselves as Sunni, Shiite, Kurd, but they don’t see themselves as all Syrian. It’s. It’s quite different. The same thing in, in the Balkans. This is the whole problem with Ukraine. We had two employees in Ukraine, one on, on Donetsk and one in Kiev, and they, the two of them would never even talk.

And they don’t see themselves as Ukrainian. They see themselves as whatever region they’re from. Yeah, it’s. That whole area was once part of the Ottoman Empire. So then you have three religions on top of it. You’ve got Orthodox Christianity, Western Christianity, and you have Islam, and you all hate each other. Well, and didn’t Zelensky ban Orthodox? Oh, yeah. And yet he’s. Zelensky is really a slime ball. Before the election, he never said that he was Jewish. I have tapes on my site of him as a comedian before being president, making jokes about confiscating the assets of Russians and Jews.

Oh, is he? Is he. People say that he’s a Nazi supporter. Is he Jewish? I cut. You cut out. I don’t know what happened here. Of course, hold on a second. I asked. You cut out there for a second. I don’t know why I asked if Zelinsky was Jewish. Jewish before tapes that say with him on stage making jokes about confiscating assets from Jews and Russians. All right, then he becomes president to hide the fact of the neo Nazis. He married a. An Orthodox girl. He had his children baptized. He was hiding, like George Soros, that he was Jewish because they were killing Jews only when he became president.

Oh, I’m Jewish. And that was to hide the fact that he was part of a neo Nazi organization. So how is that, how can you be truly be Jewish supporting neo Nazis and married to an Orthodox Christian? That when you banned Orthodox Christianity? I mean, the guy is a isn’t. What the heck? He goes. He goes whichever way he can. He’s. He’s. The patriarch is in Moscow. It’s just nuts. This is why, you know, this is why you have a war there. It’s not solvable unless you get Rid of him and you split it up. The mint agreement should be honored.

The. The Don boss should be allowed to be Russian. That they’re Russian people. I’ve never saw a Ukrainian in Crimea unless they were there on vacation. 15 of the population are Tartars from the old mongol invasion, from 40. And so look, it’s. That whole area is very deeply divided by ethnic differences. And when Czechoslovakia, it’s split. Czech Republic, Slovakia, you. You know, Yugoslavia split up. You got Serbia, Croatia, you know, they were against Armenians. I mean, I was called in by the Yugoslav government before it broke up. And they were going, oh, you don’t know what they did to us.

They killed 600 of us. And in a. And they threw us all in a common grave. And I thought I missed something on the news. I said, oh, my God, really? When did this happen? Oh, about 700 years ago. Oh, okay, that one. You know, they just remember everything we handed. But you would remember it from seven to eight years ago if it was your family? No, 700. Oh, 700 years ago. Okay. I was gonna say seven to eight years ago. Isn’t that long. Seven to 800 years ago. Yeah, okay, I get it. Look, we handed a handful of jets to Greece.

What did they say? Made the front pages of newspaper in Athens. Now we can do a sneak attack on Turkey. They’re two NATO countries, but they hate each other. And this goes back to Alexander the Great. Really? I mean, it’s that far? I mean, because that gets to be nutty territory. I suppose there are Christians that dislike Jews because of something that people did 2,000 years ago. I mean, those kinds of things just don’t make sense because it’s not us. They’re the people that came to America, basically came here to get away from all that stuff.

I saw a documentary. Fdr, he had to use Pearl harbor to get us into World War II. But before he went to Boston, trying to argue to be able to send troops to Europe, to Europe before Pearl Harbor. And Boston is mostly Irish. And they said, you really expect us to send our boys to go defend the Brits after what they did to Irish? You know, and it’s. You know, they caused the. Killed over a million in. In. Yep. Starvation. I mean. Yeah. Then you go. They. These people remember that stuff. So. But the United States has been.

Historically, we aren’t. We don’t get involved in international conflicts. And. But starting In World War I, I mean, before that, we really didn’t get. I mean, that was our policy pretty much. But ever Since World War I, it’s been non stop. That’s because the people in power try to take us in world war and they use these false flags to do it. You know, we were sneak on the Lusitania and the Germans even took ads in the newspaper we’re going to sink this ship, don’t sail on it etc. And they were using civilians as cover. And then when they sunk it.

Oh, that’s a lie. We never would have done that then. Look at Archaeology magazine 1987 Mania subbing to Careful their arms in the. And I mean you can look it up. I mean we knew they had broken the, the Japanese code and FDR knew when, when Pearl harbor was going to take place. The newspaper and I put it on my site. I think it was the Honolulu Tribune that you know, a couple days before said we’re going to be attacked this weekend. The news was out. They knew, they knew. And you know Roosevelt, oh, this is a day to live in it.

He pulled out the major ships and let you know, thousands of Americans die. There was a Senate investigation on this. You know, they, you know, because it was so outrageous and they concluded, oh well, we’re not entirely sure he knew in advance. You know, that’s it. Yes. I mean, but, but Americans were gullible, right? Americans are very gullible. They’re not gullible like this anymore. For the. I mean there still are a lot that are. But what we were back then or were we less gullible than. I mean, I don’t know, were we? I don’t know. I mean maybe we just were more obedient and didn’t challenge it.

You, you can look at Robert, you know, McNamara, his apology before he died. It’s on YouTube. You know, I guess he felt bad that 58,000Americans died in Vietnam and he said terribly sorry, we were wrong. We thought Russia was involved. It was just a civil war. Weapons of mass destruction didn’t exist. There isn’t a single war that has ever been real. And they’ve lied about absolutely every single one of them. It’s because there’s a lot of money to be made though, right? And there’s other reasons. Can you talk about the war bonds? What are we talking about with the debt and the war bonds with Ukraine? You have the cbdc, the genius act.

The genius act is exactly the same way that they funded the Civil War. What they did was they told the banks to buy the debt so they could fund the war. But that would have taken money out of the system. The bank theory didn’t want to do that. So they. It created the National Banking act. So in 1863, the banks were allowed to issue national banknotes against the bonds that they held. So it’s the same thing. Instead of staple coins, it was just, you know, paper currency. That’s all. But, but what does this mean? Does this mean that they’re planning to go to war more than just Ukraine? I mean, is this.

Are they prepping to do something more serious? Yes and no. The other problem is that you had somebody. These neocons are very myopic. They only look at their objective. If you look at the national debt, at least one third of it is all the cost of wars. And we’re paying interest on that all the time. We’re still paying interest on World War I. They never pay anything off. So they don’t look at it from a standpoint of the economy, the people or the country. They would just have to win. Everybody that gets killed, that’s just collateral damage.

They don’t think about it. And what do they want to win? What are we winning? I mean, I don’t understand. Isn’t winning just being at peace? I mean, what are we winning? All I could say is that I have had some discussions with them and they don’t know themselves, but I think that they were psychologically damaged from the days of McCarthy and having to hide underneath their desks and, you know, in third grade or something, back in the 50s, oh, Russia’s going to nuke us this. And they just grew up hating Russians. And I mean, I was in Washington when Gorbachev made his speech.

It was. I was doing some projects for the Reagan administration. And what happened? Reagan wanted to go meet with him, and they couldn’t say he was a Communist anymore. So they tried to discourage him. And they were saying, oh, you can never trust the Russian. So it went from communism of McCarthy days and Red scares and all that stuff to just, we just hate them because they’re Russian. It’s no longer economic, you know, philosophical. I mean, when is there. But is there anything. And I want you to continue this. But is there anything that. That ties it to.

They feel like they’re going to lose power or some kind of control over something that’s going to actually hurt us. Is there anything like that? I think it’s hard to say. NATO should have been shut down when communism fell and the Warsaw Pact fell, it was kept in place. And the problem with any government agency, I don’t care what it was created for, education, usaid, whatever they Will fight tooth and nail to keep a lot. Why? Because that’s their salaries, their pensions, etc. So what? I’ve seen the internal memos from NATO when all the money was going to climate change and they were like all upset.

It was like, how do we remain relevant if they’re not relevant? We don’t get any money. All right, so they have to put out the propaganda, oh, Putin wants to invade Europe as if he was Khrushchev. All right, sorry. Russia has no interest in going into Europe. It has nothing of value. They have to buy their energy from Russia. So you’re not going to get anything out of this. Japan went into Manchuria to get energy, to get assets. All right, Napoleon, Hitler, they wanted to go into, into Russia because Russia is the richest country in the world from a natural resource perspective.

You got gold, diamonds, oil, timber, all in excess. It’s been estimated they have about 75 trillion, about twice the size of US national debt. So Europe has always wanted to go into Europe and to Russia. Russia has not invaded Europe because it doesn’t have anything that’s there of any value. When Hitler took it, it was for power. But he didn’t try to destroy everything. He stole all the art, stuff like that. He didn’t bomb Paris because he thought it was pretty, you know, so he was trying to get control but not destroy it per se. So the monument survived and so a little different, you know, ideas.

Napoleon was looking more at, also at, at the power, the wealth from, from Russia. Most people don’t realize, but in, in 1917, when the Russian revolution took place, Russia had the largest gold reserves of any country on earth. And somebody hid them, they think maybe buried them in a forest or dropped into a bottom of lake. It’s kind of like the Knights Templar treasure. Nobody’s ever found it. Many people tried to find it. It is so weird. It’s, you know, it, that’s what they had. It was the richest country in the world and no, they no longer have it.

Well, kind of, it’s kind of like Fort Knox. We don’t. People are wondering if there’s any gold there because it hasn’t been audited in what, 60 years or something. But it’s, I mean, these are the things that go on behind the scenes in Europe. I think that the leaders have been taught or brainwashed to be anti Russian. And this is coming from, I can tell you that NATO, it’s like a retirement home for neocons. They’re all neocons there. So war, war, war. That’s all they ever think about. Well, but if you’re always seeing conflicts everywhere, you start to.

And you see the ramifications of somebody winning and then slaughtering whole villages and doing some bad stuff, you start to get into this mindset. The only way that we can stay safe is to constantly be aggressive. They get trained to be kind of. It’s almost like a psychosis. It’s, you know, I know some police and they’ve taught that everybody’s a criminal. It’s just a question of degree. And, you know, they’re surprised. I mean it. I got pulled. When I moved to Florida, I got pulled over by a cop for speeding. I wasn’t really paying attention attention of doing like 15 or 35 or something.

And I gave my license. He looked, he just. You’ve never had a ticket? I said no. And he says, here, I don’t want to be the first one to give you one. Welcome to Florida. You know, I mean. Well, that was nice, Jersey. They would have pulled a gun on me, took me out. Oh, everybody’s had a ticket, you know. Were you a fake name or something? But look, this is pretty much it. I think that NATO has brainwashed all of Europe. Look at stammer. People I speak to in France, they call Macron the Petite Napoleon.

He’s been advocating sending in troops. Do you think his wife is. Do you think there’s anything weird with his wife? I don’t know. Maybe. She said to throw it in there. I want to see what Martin Armstrong thinks about Macron’s wife. Who knows? I mean, it’s just weird. It’s a weird situation. Slap them enough. I can say that, but. Well, let me ask you. You said something and something you wrote recently that September is a big month. What is happening. What do you foresee happening with September? Just a quick break from your programming so I can give you a little information about mastering.

They are the masters at removing toxins and heavy metals and aluminum and microplastics out of your bloodstream. Out of your body. We are being bombarded with this crap from all over the place, and we need to get it out of our bodies that you are more susceptible to every disease imaginable when that’s in your bloodstream. And I like Masterpiece. That’s a company I endorse. Why? Because they’re the only company out there that’s actually doing trials to prove to you that their product works. It removes graphene oxide, it removes aluminum, it removes microplastics and all sorts of toxins.

You can Try yours today as well by going serwassel.com under shop or with the link below. You know, my father was a lawyer. He was pushing me into law. I started studying, but I didn’t really want to go in that direction, so he pushed me in the programming. So back then when I learned you had to do the hardware and software, so I had to learn electrical engineering, all that. And so I didn’t particularly want to do that. I was with RCA at the time. RCA was the biggest actual computer company. Most people don’t realize that because they had all the government contracts coming out of World War II and they thought the computer integrated circuits had just come out.

And so they thought that the computer would go the way of the radio, get down to like a crystal set from five dime stores. So they sold when they could see you were going to take his computer that was the size of a room and get it down to a desktop. And I was even asked, so what do you, what are they going to do with it? You know, I couldn’t answer that question. I mean, now, you know, just build it and Lotus will come, Microsoft people will figure out how to use it. Yeah, the world changes.

Yeah, but so they sold their computer division to Univac and IBM, which was just really a typewriter company back then. And they were keeping, you know, people, but they were, you know, married guys were getting offered like Hawaii, London, Paris. I wasn’t married, so I was being offered Tuli, Greenland, Guam or Vietnam. The shitty areas. Yeah. So I, I quit and I went back and I said, you know, I prefer trading. But then I, I had the skill of learning programming. So I said, I can make a program to do this. So I. This back in the 70s and by the time IBM came out with desktops and stuff in the early 80s, I mean, we had everything going.

And so I even knew, I mean, there weren’t that many of us back then. I didn’t even own Steve Jobs and stuff. And most people were honestly, they were influenced by Star Trek. The visions of a computer talking to it and stuff like that. I mean, everybody had that, you know, Star Trek was actually quite important. It, it not just the, the computer industry. But even when they did the Shuttle and the first one, they called it the Enterprise. They, they brought in Leroy, you know, Neiman and stuff like that. And all the guys from Star Trek did see the first one.

Well, I think the Holodeck, you know, the Holodeck is influenced Metaverse and all these things. Oh yeah. All this stuff is, has been, I Mean they were science fiction before. I mean the same way as Jules Verns and under the sea, you know, you get, you know, submarines. They’re just visionaries. So I developed probably, I guess, the first really fully functioning artificial intelligence computer. I knew how capital flow. That’s what I mean by international versus domestic, I would say, because I ended up would drag me around the world, was that we did currency. And honestly, my father had taken us to Europe, I think it was in 64.

The family and we went from country to country had to change your currency back then. So it taught me about foreign exchange. So when Bretton woods collapsed in 71 and currencies first started trading in futures in 72, I understood it. And I happen to have had a client who was an executive VP of Franklin National bank, which was about the 20th largest bank in the country at the time, is the bank that started MasterCard. And he came to me, says, you understand this stuff? Would you come take a look at this? The bank failed it, you know, in 73 on a 10 move.

The Italian lira not hedge. They don’t even understand hedging or currency movements back then. So after that, every foreign exchange thing is I get the guy that did that. And I got dragged into all these different things. I got to know Margaret Thatcher, all of them, all because of currency. When they’re doing the G5. I got called in for that, creating the euro and and got called in for that. The as currency crisis. Central bank of China called me in for that. 97. I. I’ve been in the middle of absolutely everything and I’ve seen them all.

So I understood how capital move in the 80s we were all in Geneva and that’s where all the OPEC money was trading. And then I saw it begin to move to. To Japan. That bubble peaked in 89. But not just the money move. The talent moved. The top brokers and that were in Geneva went to Tokyo. Then after that bust, then, oh, what’s next? Oh, they all went down to Southeast Asia that peaked and bubbled. 94 Then they go, oh, okay, what’s next? Oh, the euro is coming in 98. They all run over there for that.

That’s how capital moves. So I tracked international capital flows and that’s what we were really the only people that did it. And so I had gotten called in by the central bank at Lebanon and they had found this ledger. They wrote down the Lebanese pound every day to mid-1800s. And they asked me if I could do a model. I said, sure, we’ll stick it in so it comes out and it correlates you with everything. And what came out said their country was going to fall apart in eight days. I called him, I said, look, something’s gonna be wrong with this data.

I, you know, very calmly they said to me, what currency does it recommend? I said, well, the Swiss franc. Eight days later, civil war began. I then came to realize they already knew that they were coming to me for the timing. And we had a client in Saudi Arabia, was one of the biggest shippers in the Gulf. And he calls me and says, Iraq’s going to start attacking shipping in the Gulf tomorrow. What do you think gold’s going to do? I said, you tell me. War is going to start tomorrow. He says, yeah, yeah. So by 98, I had stood up in our London conference in June and I said, look, Russia is going to collapse.

I get a little more in 30 days. And I didn’t realize that the London Financial Times, it snuck in the back and they put it on the front page. Armstrong says Russia is going to collapse. And of course that was a collapse. That was a long term capital management crisis, all that. So I’ve learned over the years, people see, like with the Russian thing, we saw 100 billion going in, but we saw 150 billion coming out. And it doesn’t tell me you’re doing it versus somebody else. All I can look at is the growth numbers. Later on we found out it was Russia moving its own money out to hide it from the imf.

But, but you know, what I learned over the years was that somebody always has information in advance. You take the October 7th Hamas attack in Israel. Defense stock started rallying a week in advance. SEC used our stuff after 9, 11. That’s right. They were looking at anybody book puts on airline stocks a few days in advance. So I mean our computer has basically shown the world somebody always knows. Which tells you there’s something more to these events. Yes. This is what is disturbing to me is that also we don’t do because of dealing with large portfolios.

I mean we have clients literally with more than a trillion dollar portfolio. And even back in the 90s, that’s a massive portfolio. Oh no, there’s a lot more of them today than you would back. Oh God. Back in the 80s, I got called in to Japan when I first started going there and I met with Nippon Life, which is one of the biggest Life companies. And I said, okay, fine, what’s the size of the portfolio you want us to advise on? And they said, ichi Cho and I’m thinking, oh, okay, fine. So we’re talking about a billion.

And they go, no, no, no, hho$. I said $1trillion dollars. That was my morning. I went to the, in the afternoon to the Japanese postal savings fund. $1.2 trillion. I mean it was like in one day I have maybe met people with half the size of the US national debt. These things I know, yeah, they get big. And the problem, why they would come to us is that I developed the model so it looks at all different time levels because you can’t trade that. And so we were, I would. But you, so you, you can look at, so you’re developed it.

You have all these financial stuff that’s coming out, just the numbers, but then you have a bigger, broader. You have to be able to apply it and tell people what this means. So do you think that there’s a combination of things going on? You’re able to synthesize the information but then also be able to say, okay, this is our analysis of what this means? Because it can’t. Yeah, because it has to be a two way thing. I would say that kicks in with the experience and dealing with these governments and stuff for a long time. You know what they’re going to do next? Pretty much the repeat the cycle, repeat that.

We bring it back to the very beginning. These things going, yeah, it’s. I had a meeting in Berlin last year and they asked me about the election. I said, the computer says Trump’s going to win. And they said, really? Every newspaper over here says, oh, he’s going to lose. I said, I’m sorry, he’s going to win, it’s going to be big. And I said, look, I know these neocons. I can’t imagine them allowing Trump to win. I said, I wouldn’t put it past them if they didn’t try to assassinate him. Oh, come on. After the assassination attempt, they go, holy.

You already know these people, don’t you? I said, look, they even took out jfk. Well, why would they have even worry about assassinating one person when they’re not worried about killing thousands or in the case of Ukraine, you know, half a million. They don’t care, right? Well, they don’t care about them, but I mean, Trump could have stopped them. Look, the first, I’ll explain it this way. When I used to be part of the vetting process, if somebody wanted to be run for president, they would send me in to explain how the world economy worked. And so I would meet a lot of these People that wanted to run for president, whatever, and, but it was really a vetting process.

I would get back and it would say, what do you think? Do you think he’s smart enough to handle it? Blah, blah, blah. Then Bush Jr. Was coming in and I was asked to go down, meet with him. I said, oh, but this one’s different. I said, what’s different? Oh no, he’s really stupid. I said, what? I said, why would you make somebody stupid present? He’s got the name and we can win. That’s when I saw it. They picked his cabinet. They picked Cheney. Cheney was basically really the President. It’s a group in there that I know, they’re really the king makers behind the scenes.

And I was honestly asked if I would take the chief economic advisor in the White House. And I said, no, not interested in this. I’m not going to give up my company for that. So I know they picked the Cabinet. When Trump came in the first time, they did the same thing to him. They stopped it with John Bolton. You know, they put in everybody, the deep state and every one of them was stabbing Trump in the back. So when Trump left, but he came back the second time, what did he do? He got his cabinet together before he even got to Washington.

You’re not going to do this to me again. He, he knew he was basically sidelined the first time. This is what they do. I mean, you know, so he, he allowed them to pick his cabinet that time. This time he was allowed to win, okay, but this time he was allowed to win and pick his own cabinet, you’re saying, mainly because there, our computer also forecasts all the political movements around the world. Nigel Farage came and spoke at our 2019 conference and it’s, he says, of course I’m here is the only one who said I would win.

Every newspaper said Brexit would lose. People will end up, the politics will change with the economics. I don’t give a who’s in there, Republican or Democrat. You take the economy down, whoever is in at that time will be blamed, blamed and it will switch. So Herbert Hoover was in for a few months. He gets blamed for the, you know, the Great Depression, Hoover bills and everything else. So they’re going to blame Trump for the takedown of this economy, Is that. Yeah, you think that’s what they’ll use the towers, etc and to blame him because we’re in a recession that’s going global, that’s going to happen into 2028.

When is that going to happen? Start it’s not hitting us so much, because what’s happening is the capital, smart money is moving the money to the United States. We had clients with major gold reserves in Europe told them, look, you’re going to war. And they can smell it if. And they’re moving it to New York. Some moved it to Singapore. Why? Because once war starts, Europe will put in capital controls. You’re not getting anything out. And that’s why Nagal was moving from Switzerland and London to New York. The same thing happened with World War I and World War II.

If you look at it, we were virtually bankrupt in 1896 is when J.P. morgan had to lend 100 million to bail out the Treasury. And what made the United States the financial capital was nothing we did. It was World War I and World War II. They blew themselves out of the water. You know, when tanks are running down the street, blowing up banks, you’re not going to leave your money there. You know, you move it out. And that’s happening again. That’s why all these people, all the dollar is going to crash. Really. So is that the cycle that you’re seeing that right now you seeing people are sniffing war, people are moving their money out of Europe? Is that what you’re seeing is going to happen? Something’s going to shoes going to drop.

September timeframe. Our computer has been warning before Trump did this 50 day nonsense, all right, that the tensions were going to start rising from next week onward. And the computer does it on every time level. And it has a panic cycle, which I’ve on war, international war for 2026. I’m. That is not something that is common. So did the 50 days accelerate the 2026 warning? I think it’s just basically starting it. I mean, I have sent off text messages to some people that are close to Trump, but I said, were you out of your mind? And what do you really expect out of this Putin to say, oh, gee, I’m terribly sorry, I’ll withdraw all my troops, I’ll fall on my knees, please don’t hurt me.

Is this what you really expect? That’s what it gets back to. What does it mean to win? I mean, what’s it mean to these people? Keep going. I think, you know, I’m kind of disappointed in Trump even doing this. The people that have been stabbing him in the back is Europe. From looking at Russia’s perspective, there’s no way I would sign a peace deal. Why? Because he signed the Mintz agreement and then he had Merkel actually come out and say, well, we never intended to honor it. We were just buying time for Ukraine to, you know, build an army.

So why would I sign a peace agreement again when you publicly admitted you never intended to honor the last one? And every country over there, even have Boris Johnson make the front pages of, of the Norwegian press. Oh, Britain, we’re in a proxy war with, with Russia. I mean, you openly said this. I mean, we all know it, but I mean to actually come out and publicly say it on the front page of a newspaper. Well, well, it. Because it’s so obvious. So he just figured it’s obvious and he’s going to say it. But what, but is there something that’s going to, is the, does the 50 day truce or whatever every.

The 50 day period. It’s not a truce. The 50 day period. Is that going to accelerate the 2026 war? I believe so. It’s. I don’t see. And is that the September date you’re looking at? Yeah, the computer projected these dates at the beginning of the year. So I find it curious that Trump is suddenly come in with this 50 day thing right on time. Time. What is the 50 day thing? What does he expect in this 50 day thing? God knows. I mean, you know, I’ve heard that always, you know, Congress is going to do a sledgehammer and shut down all, all income to Russia whatsoever.

They’ve already destroyed the world economy with the sanctions to begin with. You know, the reason Rome lasted a thousand years is because it benefited everybody to be part of it. When you start putting sanctions on and everything else, you know, you’re saying get out. You know, but that’s the bricks. It’s just accelerating the bricks and people wanting to build up alternatives. Exactly. You know, they, they overestimate their power. Like Ken Zinger, you know, the, the so called Republican that they stuck on the January 6th committee. You can look it up. He actually came out, we can defeat Russia in three days.

Three days. They, they can’t, that’s ridiculous. They couldn’t even do Iraq at three days. And look, it’s, I don’t know what it is with these people, but I think they, they can’t sleep at night without hating somebody. But they put everybody at risk, they put their family at risk, they put us at risk, they put everybody at risk and they kill a lot of people, put us more in debt by having these psychotic attitudes. Trump ran on peace. He wanted to get us out of these wars. Has he, why has he done a 180? I don’t know.

But a lot of people are very Upset about that. I even said that to a few people in D.C. and, and the response was, yes, we know. A couple months ago, I spoke to somebody also close to Trump, and I was surprised. I mean, look, I, you know, I say what the computer says, but that’s it. I said, you realize we should get the hell out of NATO. They’re going to do a false flag to invoke Article 5 and try and drag us in. And I was, you know, so, yeah, yeah, okay, that’s a little extreme.

Instead, what they said, yes, we know, you’re right. Wow. Wow. So instead of pushing back and saying, yeah, you’re kind of a nut bag, Armstrong, they’re like, maybe, yeah, I mean, we know. They don’t even hide it. It gets a Boris Yeltsin just putting it on the front page of the newspaper. That where it’s a proxy war, everybody knows is all this stuff. So they’re just not even trying anymore. Even with the meeting that Zelensky went to the White House, I had information. Boris Johnson again hopped on a plane, went to, to Kiev. It was just supposed to be a signing in Kiev.

And Barr said, no, you go to the White House and embarrass Trump to keep the money going. Oh, geez. I passed on that information. And that’s why when Zelinsky got there, they had all the cameras and was basically close to a food fight. Yeah, that was pretty. So that’s why they were like that, because of the information you gave them. I had very good, very good contacts, and I was told that, that, you know, Boris was there three days in advance. Look, this is the way it goes anymore. It’s, it’s. I, I hear from Ukrainians, they want, they, they even ask me, are they allowed to have peace without permission from Boris in London, Macron in Paris, Mertz and Washington.

They’re not in charge of their own country. You know, Zelensky does not represent them. I have argued that with some of them. All I was told was, we will look at that. I said, he’s got to be taken out and there’s got to be an election, otherwise you’re gonna have World War iii. I’ve at least been told we’re looking at it. Well, at this point, it seems like he’s pretty planted in there. It’s. What should people do as we close this out? What do you recommend for people? And if they want to get hold of you, can you give us your spiel? I know you manage trillion dollar portfolios, so what should people do? Well, I don’t can’t accept any money from management, but we just advise on them at this stage.

When you get to that size, we have to do what is called natural hedging. And I restructure their portfolios and say, okay, fine, I need 200 billion assets in Britain, I need this in France, I need this over here. And then you try and balance it out so it’s naturally hedged because it’s too big to actually pick up the phone and say buy me, you know, 200,000 contracts of this. You know, you can’t do it that way. So it’s more of a natural hedge. And you’re going to restructure all these portfolios is really what you have to do.

And that takes a global perspective to be able to even give that information. So for the individual, be careful about these new staple coins. They’re really just war bonds for Europeans. They will put in, they’re pushing like hell to get a CBDC in so they can have 100 capital controls. You have Spain already saying you can’t take more than 3,000 out of your account without government permission. And, and this is why you still see gold, silver, you know, closer to the hot, to the highs. They’re not finished yet. Neither is the stock market when, you know, to put this in perspective to all the people keep talking about crashes and stuff like that.

The New York Stock Exchange, the capitalization of just that exchange is more than all of Europe combined. It’s, you know, look at the Dow. The Dow is where the big institutional money goes first. They don’t buy the, the cheap stocks on nasdaq. That’s the retail. So if you look at the charts, you’ll see the Dow is leading all the way up. It was showing foreign capital is coming in. So you think the market’s going to go up for the foreseeable future. You think gold and silver is going to keep going up? Do you see? Yeah, it’s.

Do you see a crash or they’re neutral. So it’s a place where you see they will rise with geopolitical, not, not inflation. That’s nonsense. You know, inflation went up after 1980 and gold went down for 19 years. You know, it goes up on geopolitical concerns and that’s the real issue. Then it’s going to go up because the geopolitical concerns are increasing substantially. If you look at 1980, gold had gotten up to about 400 bucks in December of 79 and went from 400 to 875 in the last six weeks. Why as when Russia invaded Afghanistan. So just, you know, map it out.

Look at all the wars and you’ll see what it does. That’s when you, you know, you have people go, oh, the central banks are buying gold. You know, they don’t care if it goes up or down. All right? What they’re doing is, is that they’ve been dumping dollar debt, particularly China. Why? Because you have, you have Lincoln threatening China with work. They had 10 of the U. S. National debt. You go to war with China, you think they’re going to pay it? No way. Ain’t the fault. So China’s not stupid. So they start selling and they’re not trying to cause a crash.

They’ve been, you know, dumping out like 50 billion, you know, clips. But then they been buying gold. They don’t care if it goes up or down. It’s neutral. They can’t even buy Europe because the, Europe’s going to war. Do you win any of their stuff? No way. So, so basically, you know, be careful about government bonds because interest rates are going to go up. All right? The long term rates always go up in war, period. Trump is trying to get rid of Powell. Bad move. But you’re going to undermine confidence more than anything. And if you can think, you can put in Besser to who used to work with Soros to lower rates artificially.

Good luck. The spread between that and long term will spread. Well, he is going to get rid of them. He is going to get rid of Paul in 2026. But the Supreme Court wouldn’t let him do it. He wanted to do it right away and he couldn’t. So it probably won’t happen until what, June 2026 or is it July? Trump? Trump is a borrower, he’s not a lender. So his basic experience, he always wants cheaper rates. What about the people that lend you money, the retired people? You know, if you take rates down to zero, then they don’t have any money to live on and they can’t buy their grandkids a gift.

So it’s, you know, it’s not always about getting the interest rates to the lowest possible level. We’ve done studies on that. You can look on our site. It’s the stock markets never peaked with the same level of interest rates. Twice the, the whole bond, you know, the stock market rally from 2016, the Fed raised rates the whole time. They still called it the, you know, the Trump rally. It’s rise in bull markets. Read the newspapers before 1929 and you’ll see, oh, interest rates Went up. That shows there’s still a good demand for money. What happens? Interest rates drop.

Fed dropped them from 6% to 1%. The market fell 90%. Didn’t help. They drop rates, you know, from, you know, into, from 207 to 209. Didn’t help. Why? Because if you’re not, if you have no confidence, no faith in the future, you’re not going to borrow. If you think the stock market will double, you’ll pay 20%. If you don’t think it’s going to go up 1%, you’re not going to pay one. That’s true. If you don’t think it’s going to happen, you don’t do it well. So you are actually, you, you don’t think it’s that bad.

I mean, you don’t think, you, you don’t think the stock market’s gonna really taint because so much money’s coming back. So the problem is the weaknesses is outside the United States. The United States is fairly strong from a market standpoint. And gold and silver, which is kind of interesting. So. And how about crypto? I would not like crypto. Mainly my problem with it is I it beyond a trading vehicle. And you want to buy bitcoin, sell it out next week, fine. But bitcoin has been used more for money laundering than anything else. All the volume that started was the Chinese used it to get money out of China.

Canadians are using it, Europeans are using it. Why? Because it, it’s the same item. Okay. It’s like gold in that sense. But even crude oil, I mean, you have Brent crude, which is a different quality than Texas crude oil, so wheat, different qualities. Whereas bitcoin is the same. So they could buy the bitcoin in China and sold it in the United States and they got their money out. Canadians are doing it. Well, is that a bad thing, though? I mean, I know the money. I mean money laundering, but go ahead. I’m not saying that. But all I’m saying is, is that.

But from a store of wealth. Nothing is a store of wealth. Everything goes up and everything goes down. All right, but my concern would be like living here in Florida, we get a hurricane, all right? Power goes down, a credit card isn’t good. The only thing that works is cash. Cash or even gold and silver, unless it’s legal tender. It’s legal tender in Florida. Now, I know, which is pretty cool. But what are you gonna do? Am I gonna go with my gold coin? I mean, you’re gonna. Or my silver coin? I Mean, it’s kind of weird yet, but it could develop into a way that.

Yeah, no, it’s. It’s too early for that right now. But, I mean, go to a Starbucks and the kids just hold up their phone to pay. You know, they don’t use cash anymore. So, I mean, everything is moving to digital currency. I mean, it is. It’s been digital for a long time. Yeah. I mean, look, most of the things, you know, you buy on Amazon or whatever, it’s on a credit card. You know, the big problem with. With that is really just the. The power grid sort of thing. US Cannot do a cb. Why? Legally? Oh, because of the.

You mean when you say cbdc, you’re meaning one that tracks and traces everything we do, but you can’t see the US Doing just a digital currency. Oh, yeah. I mean, private. Okay. The difference is it’s. It’s like. It’s the COVID model. Right. The First Amendment says the government shall not restrict your speech. Doesn’t prevent them from picking up the phone, calling YouTube and say, hey, cancel her. That’s right. But that’s what they. That’s how they. You know, that’s what Bill Binney was saying, and I agree with 100%, is the. The government’s been doing a lot of this, and to legalize it, they shipped it to corporations.

It’s. I think that’s what Volunteer is about. And what. Because NSA has been doing all this surveillance for decades now, they’re just going to legalize it and make it real. Real. And it’s not just Palantir, it’s many of them. They’re just shifting it from government to corporate so it can be legal. And then they just do it that way. Yeah, then they do whatever it. Yeah, then it really opens up their freedom to surveil us. So the. The Fed cannot do a CBDC because to look in your account, it would need a search warrant. So if the bank issues the CD, they have regulations.

If I sent you 100,000 in Bitcoin, the bank must tell the feds, hey, this is a suspicious transaction. Yeah, it’s so much easier to do it with credit. You’re absolutely right. You’re saying exactly what I’ve been trying to tell people lately. And it’s the same with telecom. They have these servers that are sitting there monitoring all the telephones. And so if they can just shift it to corporations doing it now, we’re screwed. Exactly. There’s the. You look at it, it’s. The government shall not go through the amendments doesn’t say anything about YouTube, Facebook or anybody else.

It doesn’t say. And the sad part is it’s all a magic trick because if they still. If the government can’t do it, then the government shouldn’t be able to put. Put laws in place saying that you need to report back to us because that’s then the government doing it in proxy government and proxy should be anti. Constitutional. I agree. They won’t. But of course they won’t because that’s how they’re getting away with it. Okay. I love talking to you. Where do people go to follow you? Armstrongeconomics.com it’s open source. You don’t have to put in your email or anything else.

I’ve been told we’re the only ones that are not blocked globally. You can see it in China, Russia, wherever. Wow. So we try to, you know, keep it apolitical and just the facts. Well, that’s good because then people can get the information that they need as soon as it gets too political, I guess, gets clouded in emotion and you can’t get things accomplished. Yeah, it’s. I’ve dealt with governments from around the world. They’re all the same. Yeah. Well, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Well, nice talking to you again. I’m gonna have you back.

Take care. Sample.
