An exclusive interview with Martin A. Armstrong by Pietro Messina with the collaboration of Julian Macfarlane Western democracies are no longer democracies, the system no longer works, it is broken. A global economic crash is possible, indeed, very likely. The so-called Deep State knows very well what is happening and is aiming for war to erase everything and start again. The United States may no longer be so united: Martin Armstrong, one of the most influential economists globally, told us his point of view just over 100 days before the vote to elect the new President of the United States. With an alert that, after the first failed attack, sounds threatening: the Deep State will do everything to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House. TRANSCRIPTION OF THE INTERVIEW: QUESTION: A couple of weeks ago, before the attack on Donald Trump and before Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race, you wrote an article that today resonates prophetic. The title was “Stand Down”. MARTIN A. ARMSTRONG: You have to understand that there in most governments, there is a what we call the deep state. And they have their own vested interests. They’re not elected. They’re the people that really run everything all the time. And Donald Trump effectively, uh, is an outsider. They don’t like him. They don’t like RFK. Uh, so, uh, honestly, the protection that he was provided was so outrageous. It was more or less the same thing as JFK. Um, you know, it was very clear that from, you know, I wrote, even in the beginning of the year, that they could not possibly, uh, cope with, with Trump winning, because he stands against everything that they are pushing for, uh, from climate change to war, et cetera. So, um, that’s why I say, you know, the shooter, basically. Uh, I mean, they, they knew he was there. People were screaming, Hey, there’s a guy on the roof, and they did nothing. So standing down is basically just let it happen, uh, and then blame it on. Oh, you know, I mean, the same thing with nine 11. They, they had advanced knowledge. Homeland security even was created because Congress said, Oh, well, some agencies had information, but they didn’t share it. Um, you know, it’s just the way things go. If they allow certain things to happen, they get more power. QUESTION: Kamala Harris is the probable Dem candidate in the US elections. In recent days you have made an analysis of Harris’ political agenda: her anti-crisis recipe is to raise taxes in the States up to 35%. Can it work? MARTIN A. ARMSTRONG: The left side of Democrats just never learn. They keep raising taxes because I think it’s more like they want to punish other people rather than does it make any economic sense. Every time you’ve raised taxes, the economic growth declines and I don’t care what government you’re looking at. You know, if somebody has more money to spend and they create more jobs, you take that money and you put it in government’s pocket and it’s always wasted. Government creates no jobs. Anybody that works for government actually does not produce anything. It’s kind of like having a maid at home, you know, she cleans your house, but she doesn’t bring in income. QUESTION: In just over 100 days the United States will have its new President. But on an economic and social level, is this really happening in the States? MARTIN A. ARMSTRONG: I think basically that you to look not only United States but Europe too. Everything is becoming very polarized, politically. You saw it in England, you saw it in France. The United States is the same. It used to be, okay, fine. The other side won and we all got along, but now the politics has changed to the point that if one side gets in, they want to force their agenda upon everybody else. That’s not civilization. Civilization historically is when we all come together because everybody benefits. When one side starts to punish the other side, civilization no longer makes sense. So that’s why you’ll, you’ll most likely see the United States eventually break up into different regions. The same thing in Europe. You know, it’s, there are different cultures, uh, beliefs, et cetera. I mean, there in Italy, you have different philosophies than, you know, people up in, in Northern, you know, Germany. That’s just the way life is. You know, California is like a foreign country to somebody in Florida. You just have political differences and, you know, I should say that, you know, the governments always want all power and all you have to do is look at Russia. When Lenin, his idea was to create the Soviet Union like the United States, that each state retained its sovereignty. And could, exit if they, they chose to. Stalin it’s widely assumed that he poisoned Lenin. And Lenin had even written a letter saying, do not let him follow me, and Stalin usurped all the power into centralized control.
