Europe is Falling & Needs War with Russia

Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong is back with a new warning about war coming to Europe.  You may have seen the heated exchange between President Trump and President Zelensky of Ukraine on Friday.  If not, you should.  Some of the Trump highlights are:  “President Zelensky is not ready for peace. . . (Zelensky is) gambling with WWIII, and You either make a deal or we are out.”  It looks like Zelensky intentionally started a fight with Trump in the White House.  It also looks like every country in Europe is backing more war in Ukraine. And now, there is renewed talk of an EU army.  Armstrong says, “Why?  Because they all are facing the collapse of the European Union.  The debt is just unbelievable.  They never consolidated.  Between Covid, Climate Change and sanctions on Russia, the German economy has shrunk . . . 3% to 5%.  The economic growth (of the EU) is appalling.  Europe is falling, and this is why they need war.  So, they are backing Zelensky.”

In a new report released yesterday, Armstrong lays out the case why war in Europe is coming and coming soon.  Armstrong points out, “In this report, I gathered a bunch of headlines:  London Financial Times, what’s the headline?  ‘America is Now the Enemy of the West.’ This is why Trump is saying ‘We are out.’  Zelensky has admitted that 58% of the $350 billion the US gave him is missing.  You cut the funding, and you are going to find out the truth.  Trump should cut every single penny.  Bring it all out.  Zelensky is counting on Europe to replace the United States.  This is why he’s so arrogant. . . . Trump should get the hell out of NATO–ASAP.”

So, why are all these reports coming out in the last few months about gold coming to America from Europe?  Armstrong says, “Last week, I was on the phone, and I can’t tell you how much, but when you are about to go into war, capital moves. . . . Right now, I am concerned from about May 15th on. . . . Our computer (Socrates) says Europe is going into war, and I put it into this report, Europe will lose. . . . This is why the gold is coming to America.”

Zelensky Rejects Calls for Immediate Ceasefire Against Nuclear Superpower Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has doubled down on his rejection of an immediate ceasefire in the war with Russia.

Speaking to the Financial Times after a weekend hobnobbing with European elites in London, Zelensky made it clear he’s willing to let Ukraine burn rather than negotiate a practical peace.

Zelensky’s latest outburst comes on the heels of a fiery confrontation with President Donald Trump at the White House last Friday, where the Ukrainian leader clashed with America’s commander-in-chief over Kyiv’s refusal to consider a ceasefire.

Trump, alongside his cabinets, has rightly argued that Ukraine should prioritize ending the bloodshed rather than clinging to fantasies of total victory over a military superpower.

“You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War Three. You’re gambling with World War Three, and what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country, far more than a lot of people say they should,” Trump told Zelensky.

The Geopolitics of Peace

Thanks to all of you for the chance to be together and to think together. This is indeed a complicated and fast-changing time and a very dangerous one. So, we really need clarity of thought. I’m especially interested in our conversation, so I’ll try to be as succinct and clear as I can be.

I’ve watched the events very close-up in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Russia and Ukraine, very closely for the last 36 years. I was an adviser to the Polish government in 1989, to President Gorbachev’s economic team in 1990 and 1991, to President Yeltsin’s economic team in 1991 to 1993 and to President Kuchma’s economic team in Ukraine in 1993 to 1994.

I helped introduce the Estonian currency. I helped several countries in former Yugoslavia, especially Slovenia. After the Maidan, I was asked by the new government [in Ukraine] to come to Kyiv, and I was taken around the Maidan, and I learned a lot of things firsthand.

I’ve been in touch with Russian leaders for more than 30 years. I also know the American political leadership close-up. Our previous secretary of treasury, Janet Yellen, was my wonderful macroeconomics teacher 52 years ago. We have been friends for a half century.

I know these people. I say this because what I want to explain in my point of view is not second-hand. It’s not ideology. It’s what I’ve seen with my own eyes and experienced during this period. I want to share with you my understanding of the events that have befallen Europe in many contexts and I’ll include not only the Ukraine crisis, but also Serbia 1999, the wars in the Middle East, including Iraq, Syria, the wars in Africa, including Sudan, Somalia, Libya. These are to a very significant extent the result of deeply misguided U.S. policies. What I will say may well surprise you, but I speak from experience and knowledge of these events.

So That’s Why We Haven’t Seen the Real Epstein List

On his Fox News show “Life, Liberty, and Levin,” Mark Levin had a compelling discussion with Attorney General Pam Bondi about one of the most scandalous yet suspiciously opaque cases in modern history—the Jeffrey Epstein files. Last week, many anticipated bombshell revelations exposing high-profile figures linked to criminal activity on Epstein’s private island. Instead, what we got was a rehash of information already widely known.

So, why is this happening and when are we going to see the new stuff? 

Levin wasted no time driving into the matter, noting that his curiosity about the Epstein client lists is mirrored by countless Americans. “I think the American people are very curious about who’s on this list or these lists,” Levin said. “You have been doggedly trying to get all the information and now we learn, thanks to you, that you’ve been stonewalled by people in New York. Do you want to explain that?”

“So, as you know, we released about 120 pages of documents. And I started asking for these documents right when I came into office and before Kash Patel was in there,” she began. “So I ended up getting about 120 pages. We carefully redacted them, of course, to be sure the 254 young girls, women who are victims of sex crimes and sex trafficking, their personal information was redacted and out of there to protect them.”

Minnesota Pizza Chain Kicks Out Group of Republicans and Trump Supporters — ‘Deeply Sorry’ Owners Now Attempting Damage Control

A Minnesota pizzeria is now attempting damage control after kicking out a group of Republicans and Trump supporters over the weekend.

Reports of the incident began circulating on social media on Saturday after the group of Republican staffers and activists were expelled from the facility on the grounds that they did not accept political events.

Dalia al-Aqidi, a Republican Congressional candidate in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, told The Gateway Pundit that their expulsion was not a misunderstanding.

She explained:

This was not a misunderstanding. The individual, who appeared to be a manager, repeatedly insisted that we leave, stating, “Please leave now.”

We were simply a group enjoying a meal after a Senate District convention, and several of us clarified to her that this was not a political event—just a gathering over dinner.

Despite our explanations, she refused to listen, displaying a level of disrespect that was deeply disappointing.

This incident should serve as a wake-up call for everyone. While we may reside in a predominantly blue district, we will not allow ourselves to be bullied or silenced.

We are one community, and it is essential that we learn to coexist with mutual respect, regardless of our political differences.

Amid calls to boycott the establishment, Davanni’s have released a statement assuring customers that they are open to everyone, regardless of their political opinions.

Biden Appointed Federal Judge who Blocked Trump USAID Freeze is a Far-Left Activist and Biden Donor, Who Pushed to Defund Police and Drop BLM Charges, Previously Accused Trump of “Hatred Towards Muslim People”

A Biden-appointed federal judge who is trying to stop the President from freezing foreign aid and USAID disbursements was discovered to be a radical-left anti-Trump activist who has accused the President of hating Muslims and lobbied for Black Lives Matter activists and defunding the police.

As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, Judge Amir Ali blocked Trump’s order halting foreign funding and ordered the Trump Administration to pay the foreign contracts last week.

“At least to date, Defendants have not offered any explanation for why a blanket suspension of all congressionally appropriated foreign aid, which set off a shockwave and upended reliance interests for thousands of agreements with businesses, nonprofits, and organizations around the country, was a rational precursor to reviewing programs,” Judge Ali wrote in a 15-page order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Ali’s order was temporarily paused by the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday pending a review of the far-left judge’s ruling.

According to the Daily Wire, Ali, the former Executive Director of the leftist MacArthur Justice Center, is a donor to Democrats, including Joe Biden, whom he gave thousands of dollars during his 2020 bid against Trump, and former DNC Chair Jamie Harrison in a bid for South Carolina’s U.S. Senate race.

Prior to the 2020 election, the judge was an opponent of Trump’s 2017 travel ban, which halted travel and visa issuance from several Islamic nations to prevent terrorists from entering the U.S.

In an editorial for the far-left Guardian newspaper, Ali described the President’s order as a “campaign of animus against people of the Muslim faith.” In a 2022 interview, he further claimed that the President has a “history of animus and hatred towards Muslim people. In the same interview, he also called for DEI to be implemented within the legal profession in DC, calling it a problem that he’s “one of few people of North African or Middle Eastern descent, one of few immigrants to the country, and one of few Muslim Americans.”

Barbara Marx Hubbard and the Malthusian-Transhumanist Riders of the Pale Horse

Why did the celebrated futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard call for the culling of one-fourth of the human population? John Klyczek tracked down Hubbard’s infamous unpublished manuscript and digs deeper into the legacy of her Malthusian gospel of “conscious” transhuman evolution.

For some time, there have been efforts to facelift the Malthusian-transhumanist bent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution with a patina of New Age spirituality through a belief in “conscious evolution,” such as that propagated by futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard. Yet, notwithstanding Hubbard’s lofty invocation of “Christ consciousness,” her faith in conscious evolution holds that, in order to mitigate overpopulation crises, natural resources must be rationed through “sustainable development” economics while human resources must be neo-eugenically culled and biotechnologically engineered into a new transhuman species. In fact, with the blessings of Rockefeller philanthropy, Hubbard, who promoted sustainable development at the United Nations (UN) and collaborated with known Malthusians from groups like the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Club of Rome, was one of the most radical advocates of population reduction in the name of spiritual evolution.

Echoes Of Trump: Georgescu Charged With Inciting Insurrection

Following the dramatic arrest of Călin Georgescu while on his way to submit his papers to file as a candidate in Romania’s rescheduled presidential election in May, the Prosecutor General’s Office of Romania has charged the country’s leading presidential candidate with inciting insurrection. The situation mirrors the one faced by Donald Trump in the run up to the 2024 election, except that in Romania’ fragile “democratic” system the charges may very well lead to the globalist elites maintaining their power unless massive external pressure is brought to bear.

In charges reminiscent of Communist show trials in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the authorities have charged Georgescu with “spreading false information,” and establishing a “fascist” organization, both popular catch phases of the radical left.

Listed among Georgescu’s other “crimes” is “promoting, in public, the cult of persons guilty of committing crimes of genocide against humanity and war crimes,” as well as “the act of promoting, in public, fascist, legionary, racist or xenophobic ideas, conceptions or doctrines,” because he has not followed the globalist narrative concerning Romanian history. Georgescu has said that Marshal Ion Antonescu, who bravely fought against the brutal Soviet rape of the country should be considered a national hero. It should be noted that Antonescu was a Romanian patriot who was only convicted of “war crimes” in a Communist show trial that resulted in his execution.

The purpose of these charges is to try to eliminate Călin Georgescu as a presidential candidate because he is the greatest threat to the country’s globalist establishment. Georgescu was released but has been placed under “judicial supervision” for 60 days in a move that is clearly a slap in the face to democratic values.

Gun Owners Take DC Magazine Restrictions To Supreme Court

Gun owners in the nation’s capital are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down the District of Columbia’s ban on magazines with more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

The petition in Hanson v. District of Columbia was docketed, or officially accepted for filing, by the court on Feb. 28. The respondent, the District of Columbia, was directed to file a response by March 31.

The district enacted the Firearms Registration Amendment Act of 2008 after the Supreme Court invalidated the city’s sweeping restrictions on gun ownership in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008). In Heller, the nation’s highest court determined that individuals have a right to possess firearms for lawful purposes, including self-defense at home.

The statute made it a felony-level offense to have a magazine that could hold more than 10 rounds. A violation can result in a prison term of three years and a fine of $12,500. District officials say the law is needed to protect the public.

Lead petitioner Andrew Hanson and co-petitioners Tyler Yzaguirre, Nathan Chaney, and Eric Klun, who all have concealed carry pistol licenses in the District of Columbia, possessed magazines holding more than 10 rounds outside D.C. and said they would use their magazines for lawful purposes in the district if the 10-round limit did not apply.

Hanson argues in the petition that the district’s magazine cap is unconstitutional according to a test the Supreme Court articulated in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022), which recognized a right to bear arms in public for self-defense.

Weeks after Bruen was decided, the petitioners sued the District of Columbia, asking for a declaration from a federal district court that the magazine cap ran afoul of the Second and Fifth Amendments.

U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras issued an April 2023 decision that denied Hanson’s request to block the law on constitutional grounds. Contreras found that the local law adheres to the U.S. Constitution.

The judge found that the District’s ammo limitation, which was aimed at promoting public safety, was justified. The ban constituted “an attempt to mitigate the carnage of mass shootings in this country.”

WWIII WATCH: Keir Starmer Announces He’s Ready to Send “Boots on the Ground” to Ukraine After Giving Them $2 Billion, Encourages US, Europe to Join

The UK on Sunday announced it would send Ukraine a measly $2 billion in military aid (compared to the US’s $350 billion+) after the Trump-Zelensky Oval Office blow-up.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer then announced he’s ready to send troops to Ukraine and encouraged Europe – and the US – to jump into World War III against Russia, a nuclear power.

“Britain’s Ministry of Defence said Thales (TCFP.PA), will manufacture the lightweight-multirole missiles for Ukraine. Thales said the missiles have a range of more than 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) and they can be fired from a variety of platforms on land, sea, and air,” Reuters reported.

“The UK is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air to gather with others. Europe must do heavy lifting but to support peace on our continent, and to succeed, this effort must have strong US backing,” Starmer said during a press conference at the leaders’ summit in London on Sunday.
