Martin Armstrong of Armstrong Economics has correctly predicted many trends (especially economic and political ones) since at least the 1980s. (FWIW he also expects a pole shift like I have written about.) In a recent letter to President Trump he warns:
And allegedly, in a private blog:
“The Seriousness We Face
THURSDAY, 02 APRIL 2020 BY: MARTY ARMSTRONG
I have been in serious conversations all day. I BELIEVE I cannot even express this on the open blog. This is ABSOLUTELY a political coup that materialized after the Democrats lost their attempt to hurt Trump with the impeachment. The proposal was to take him down by deliberately attacking the economy. This was not just a domestic plot, it was pitched by the EU leftists in Europe who knew that also with BREXIT, there was a serious risk that others would follow and that the only way to secure the EU was to also undermine both Germany and the Netherlands.
This virus actually appeared during the flu season of 2018-2019. This virus does come from bats. There was research done and published in March 2019. It was not a leak from a bioweapons lab. The use of this virus was strategic and has NOT been an accident. It was KNOWN and the question remains was it deliberately deployed in Wuhan and not by a covert act of the Chinese. They responded slowly at first but when it was realized that this was of the Coronavirus strain there was no vaccine as with the standard influenza strain. This has allowed to be used as a strategic political weapon to further political change for the extreme left.
The response I have found to be alarming from the outset. It was clearly overblown and the press itself is so polarized against Trump, BREXIT etc, that they were eager to jump on board.
To bring Trump down in order to win in a major socialist victory they needed to undermine the economy.
Unemployment fell to 1960s levels and the stock market reached record highs. They saw this as his strength and the way to take him down was to attack the economy.
I am deeply concerned that Bill Gates is part of this, I believe unknowingly, but his $100 million donations to the NIH and $13.5 million to the CDC has compromised both and the WHO.
His push for ID2020 chips and vaccines that interestingly would not be available until AFTER the 2020 election was certainly questionable. But Bill Gates simultaneously resigned from the board of Microsoft and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway. That decision was made allegedly in late January but was announced on March 13th, 2020 so Gates could spend more time on his claimed philanthropy work.
The institute’s coronavirus projections that President Trump relied on upon to set COVID-19 policy, forecast that the U.S. would need 135,000 hospital beds by April 1st. So far, that has come out to only about 31,000 patients who are hospitalized. Despite this fact, ever Democratic governors have used draconian measures to shut their local economies down. Every Democrat, right down to Chelsea Clinton, is out blaming Trump for every death.
The entire world economy has been shut down and used to end paper money and seize power in an astonishing move to takeover government on a global scale.
This is a very dark hour for freedom. I personally have never seen anything this dramatic in history.
There were major socialist revolutions attempted in 1848 and then again in 1917. The next target was 1989 which ended in the collapse of Communism.
This is the year from political HELL. It is going to take just as much as an effort to defeat them this time. They have the corrupt press on their side.”

Something big is happening behind the scenes. Like seeing the Wizard behind the curtain in the Emerald City, I suspect by the end of April we are going to become aware of a major plot twist – the real reason why the Coronavirus response has been blown way out of proportion to the real risk.

Martin Armstrong is probably a limited hangout, in that despite being a doomsayer, he still appears to believe everything is as it seems, that there is a functioning democracy, financial market, etc.
I’ve said in many comments here before, that collapse of the global financial markets would be one of the distractions – along with WW3, Internet shutdown, etc. The thing is, such collapse didn’t need a pandemic, but evidently, TPTB want an easy to understand pretext for the collapse as opposed to ‘there was so much instability it was bound to collapse sooner or later’. The pandemic is also convenient for so many other things, that it would otherwise take a world war to achieve, e.g. confinement (shelter in place), border controls, suppression of international travel, closure of observatories, industrial shutdown/collapse.
This makes we worry slightly that WW3 may never actually be started, the pandemic and its consequences may be sufficient, and the pole shift will need no further distraction.
It is also a little sad that the masses are evidently completely unaware of what ‘liberty’ means – aside from ‘being able to go on holiday when one wishes, subject to veto by employer or state’.

Macron using ‘cataclysm’ when many other terms would be more appropriate makes it stand out as a trigger/code word. Combine that with ‘stability of the world order’ and that NWO is code for the post-cataclysmic world, along with ‘stability of the world’ being threatened by pole-shift, and it appears as if there is a subliminal message at work. The unthinkable = the end of the world.
From ‘FT Interview: Emmanuel Macron says it is time to think the unthinkable’
“As a liberal European leader in a world of strident nationalists, Mr Macron says he hopes the trauma of the pandemic will bring countries together in multilateral action to help the weakest through the crisis. And he wants to use a cataclysm that has prompted governments to prioritise human lives over economic growth as an opening to tackle environmental disasters and social inequalities that he says were already threatening the stability of the world order.”
Excellent commentary. The gift of poverty and anarchy. A modern day caste system. Remarkable a plot to undermine the global economy how quaint. As long as individuals are rewarded for hoarding resources and only using it for their own self engrandizement nothing will change. Perhaps a new set of puppeteers! A culture geared to being generous with guilt and responsibility flies in the face of Gods love.
Is there anything restraining their greed and hubris. Too bad we had the problem of intruding on their planet!! Using their money. They own everything! Unless God exorcises their spirit of greed and entitlement nothing will change.
