https://rumble.com/v54ywwr-martin-armstrong-the-hidden-cost-that-could-devastate-equities-real-estate-.html?mref=13ry0f&mc=c28tm In this thought-provoking episode, Tom Bodrovics invites back the esteemed Martin Armstrong from Armstrong Economics for an engaging conversation that spans historical political trends, economic repercussions of poorly thought out policies, critiques of politicians, NATO's relevance, Neocon influence, gold as a hedge against uncertainty, and geopolitical tensions. Armstrong asserts the recurring cyclical pendulum swing towards the left throughout history is predictable. He raises alarm over the economically destructive consequences of COVID-19 policies and climate change regulations on European small businesses. Armstrong denounces politicians for their power retention efforts, citing instances such as Biden's lawsuits against Trump and perceived inconsistencies. The conversation delves into the perceived threat posed by Trump to those in power, speculation of a potential false flag or war with Russia prior to the elections, low approval ratings for Congress and President Biden, and the administration's emphasis on other issues. Armstrong maintains that those in power often deceive and judge others based on their own cultural norms and values, leading to misunderstandings and discrimination. The episode recalls NATO's inception during the Cold War when it was formed as a response to the Soviet Union's expansionist ambitions. Martin criticize Western leaders for instigating conflicts and disseminating misinformation. He argues that NATO now primarily functions to propagate war fears and Russian aggression apprehensions. The discussion also touches upon the possibility of Hillary Clinton's involvement in the 2024 Presidential election and her past role in Benghazi incidents. Martin reveals that the ambassador involved was an arms dealer providing weapons for Syrian regime change efforts. Gold is explored as a reliable refuge during geopolitical tensions and instability, with historical examples like the Iran hostage crisis and Russia's invasion of Afghanistan cited. Furthermore, they delve into the role of digital currencies in international transactions via organizations such as the IMF, potentially replacing the dollar as the dominant currency. Mr. Armstrong suggests America's fiscal irresponsibility and taxation methods contribute to the decline of physical cash and the shift towards a digital currency system. The upcoming presidential elections and potential civil unrest and political instability are also addressed.
