Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
World peace is created by economic opportunity. That is how the Roman Empire flourished for 1,000 years. They conquered much of North Africa during the Punic Wars. They conquered Greece and the East during the days of the Republic. Yes, they conquered all of Europe under Julius Caesar. They captured Egypt under Octavian who defeated Cleopatra VII. They took Britain under Claudius, they conquered the Balkans under Trajan. Constantine even moved the capital from Rome to what today is Istanbul – old Constantinople. What held it together? It was free trade!
There have been enduring phases from the Roman Empire like – All roads lead to Rome. What had created the greatest empire ever known to human history was the fact that it not only merged so many cultures and languages, but everyone benefited from free trade. The conquered lands benefited by becoming emerging markets and private Roman entrepreneurs became investors bringing the unique products from all the provinces to Rome.
The phase, taking the purple, meant becoming emperor for you see purple dye was imported from India and the emperor loved that color so much, nobody was allowed to wear purple other than the emperor. This is why today you will see priests with purple vestments symbolizing that Christ is king.
In the Roman Forum, there is the Via Sacra. This was the ancient Wall Street of Rome. Ancient commentators recorded that when there was the earthquake in Turkey, panic struck the Via Sacra because of all the investments in that region from the Roman bankers. Roman Emperor Tiberius had to create a bail-out fund and even issued coins declaring this was a relief for Asia.
Our world leaders are ignorant of history and have now set us on a course for what our computer has been projecting – inevitable outcome – World War III. This hate and demonization of Putin is not only a cover for failing to understand history and what it shows us as the war to world peace by free international trade for once everyone benefits, nobody bites the hand that feeds them. Indeed, Henry Kissinger said back in the Washington Post on March 14, 2014, when Russia took back Crimea – “The demonization of Vladimir Putin is not a policy. It is an alibi for not having one.”
During World War I, the United States swore it would remain neutral. But it was secretly sending arms on passenger ships to aid Britain. The Germans knew this and even took out an advertisement warning Americans not to sail on that ship for they would sink it. Once more, history is repeating itself. I believe the backdrop to this is the Great Reset which could NOT be accomplished without removing Trump, Putin, and then China. This cannot be simply such stupidity for what Lindsey Graham has stated in this video is showing that he and the rest of Congress will unite to create World War III cutting off all Russians now from credit cards and telling them to overthrow Putin. They may replace Putin with someone who is much more ruthless like Stalin who just killed tens of millions.
Here is a chart of the Euro daily marking the point where Harris tells Ukraine they should join NATO which is a breach of the Budapest Agreement. Putin’s invasion begins 4 days later. There was NO EFFORT by the Biden Administration to tell Putin that Harris is an idiot and what she said was not the policy of the United States. Even Blinken openly encourages Ukraine saying that they can beat Russia. Nobody seems to care about how many Ukrainians must die for this agenda. There has been no effort to negotiate to tell Zelensky to do what he promised when he won the position in 2019 as the President of Ukraine.
Zelensky became President of Ukraine in a landslide victory by promising he would ease tensions with Russia and resolve the crisis in the breakaway republics in east Ukraine that had been taking place since 2014. The former government was seen even by Russia as one instigating war. Putin expressed hope that Zelensky would change that policy of confrontation. In truth, Zelensky not merely made no such attempt to keep his promises, but instead, he has done exactly the opposite by shelling Donbas escalating the civil war and relentlessly provoking Russia by constantly asking NATO to violate the Budapest Agreement. There is reasonable concern that he is indeed a puppet and has been promised great personal wealth to steer Ukrain into a position to justify World War III.
So here we are once more. The Biden Administration has done nothing to create world peace. All they have done is fan the flames of war and this is INTENTIONAL. These sanctions now cutting off all the Russian people from credit cards is an act of war. It certainly appears that they are simply trying to overthrow Putin as they did with Trump to further this Great Reset. Germany is even appointing Jeniffer Morgan, the head of Green Peace, as secretary of state for Climate Change is the only issue these seem to be concerned about. Overthrowing Putin is the next objective and then they hope they will be able to take over Russia for the Great Reset.

For Loopy. Grass is always greener on the other side, until it isn’t.
Translation: China is going to come into this sooner or later.
Notice the rhetorical shift from sanctions to military preparations. This has nothing whatsoever to do with Russian activity in the Indo-Pacific.
Refusing to rule out Australia potentially arming Taiwan in a conflict against China, Dutton said that the country’s current priority was to “deter any acts of aggression whether it’s from China or from Russia or anybody else.”
It’s a little late to attempt to deter Chinese aggression. Australia lost the war to China 56 years ago when it abandoned its White Australia policy in 1966. Now more than 10 percent of the population is Chinese.
May I?
That base will never be built, far too late for that kind of planning. Maybe if this was 2010, but that ship has sailed. China gets Australia. They (the parasitic elite) will simply divvy up the 10 billion.
You and I know that, but apparently globohomoschlomo didn’t inform their slobbering stooges in Australia until it was too late.
Personally, I don’t think Loopy will last very long in the salt mines. DC would have been safer than Australia at this point…but I’ve been saying this for years and Loopy poo poo’ed it as nonsense…now here he is between a fag infested, Bolshevik controlled government and a Chinese invasion. I wish him all the best, but my advice to him still is as was…suck it up, admit moving to Australia was a stupid mistake and get the hell out while you can.
And all the Chinese immigrated to Australia only to then turn it into a copy of China, or be taken over by them?
I’d like some of what you’re smoking.
It’s called colonization.
Have you not been paying attention to how Chinese operate, lo these past three decades?
They control significant portions of Africa, South America and Oceania these days.
And they did that by Chinese immigrants subverting each country?
Back In the USSR
The swift de-westernization of Russia.
This time it’s the west that’s degrading toward the worst elements of the USSR faster than Russia. Every horrible thing they tell us about Putin and Russia exists in the west and ten-fold in some cases. Political prisoners held without trial. Censorship. Pravda media. Kangaroo committees. Secret police for internal coups. Shutting down protests of one political nature while allowing others. Unequal protection under the law. Oligarchies posing as democracies. Fascism posing as liberalism…
We haven’t even arrived at the endless bloody wars for greed and profit that saw no cries or pleas of mercy, no Iraqi, Afghan, Yemeni, Libyan or Syrian flag emojis or disgraceful America-phobia of the likes we’re presently witnessing against Russia…
And yet here they are again, the same criminals back in the spotlight, showing the world how to react to the atrocities they’re responsible for, what to believe and think and do and always of course, who to blame…
There are those who say there is no stage right or left, only the globalist stage, but they might be wrong. There are differences. Why orchestrate a coup in Russia if Putin is a WEF player? We must entertain the possibility that Putin is playing the WEF, that those appearances at Davos were to give the impression of a team player willing to bend Russia over for the Schwabean order only to turn the tables now that he’s seen the future they’re designing and wants no part of it.
In an hour long podcast episode with James Delingpole, the Ukraine/Russia expert and former GCHQ analyst Alex Thomson surmises that Putin is not with the global cabal despite his past pretenses.

Hopefully this is the case. I think Putin may very well be the last hope for Christendom . If Putin goes down, hell will follow for US all. Bet on it.
Globohomoschlomo controls it all and wants you useless eaters dead. Any doubts?
Biden picks Antony Blinken: Good news for Ukraine?
By Peter Dickinson
Lisa Yasko, Ukrainian MP, Servant of the People party: Firstly, it is important to note that Tony Blinken possesses considerable foreign policy credentials. Secondly, he has vast experience of collaboration with President-elect Joe Biden. Thirdly, Blinken is deeply informed about the specific situation in Ukraine and well versed on Eastern Europe in general. In March 2015, Blinken visited Kyiv and made an inspirational speech at the Ukraine Crisis Media Center, where I was working at the time. I believe that he can be called a genuine friend of Ukraine. Blinken is also one of the architects of the US sanctions regime against Russia, which bodes well for Ukrainian interests. Looking ahead, the post of US Ambassador to Ukraine has been vacant for a relatively long period. A new US Special Envoy for Ukraine may also be appointed to fill the position formerly held by Kurt Volker. These two issues will be among the first challenges for Blinken as he looks to address US-Ukraine relations.
Samuel Pisar, the stepfather of Biden regime Secretary of State Antony Blinken, was a close confidant and lawyer for Ghislaine Maxwell’s father Robert Maxwell. Blinken’s stepfather was reportedly the last person to speak to Maxwell before he mysteriously fell to his death off the Lady Ghislaine while cruising near Spain’s Canary Islands in 1991.
Most Americans may know Secretary of State Antony Blinken for his major role in the devastating Biden administration Afghanistan Disaster, or perhaps for his warmongering while working for the Bush and Obama administrations. However, many may not know that he has connections to the convicted pedophile, ritualistic sex predator, and international elite human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who was identified as a Mossad agent who blackmailed world leaders with underage sex traps by former high-ranking Israeli intelligence officials.

You are right, Flash is doing a great job and should be commended.
Lindley Graham Cracker is a mad warmonger. He is absolutely insane.

I read the whole thing to make sure I wasn’t missing his point. I could have stopped reading at the above excerpt.
Free trade will bring world peace and our world leaders are ignorant of history. And your check is in the mail.
Perhaps the puppets posing as our leaders are ignorant but the real world leaders are anything but ignorant of world history.
Free trade causing world prosperity is a myth in many ways but a myth just the same.
That is quite a claim. History shows the exact opposite over the long term. The fact that corrupt leaders still exist and challenge things does not change the fact that over time “free trade” brings greater prosperity to more individuals than “taxed” trade.
I’m interested to understand why you make the claim and what you base it on. Free trade may not be “the cause” of world prosperity, but it’s “one leg” of the table of prospering on planet earth unless you are a nun or a monk.
So, free trade causes what? Regression? How would trading – and “free trading”, without some third party claiming theft and calling it “taxes” – prevent “prosperity”, at least in some small/individual way if not world wide?
What is it that you believe brings the most potential for “world prosperity”?
What is prosperity to you?
What kind of double talking googledegop is that. If you want real answers ask coherent and sincere questions. Until then I have no time for childspeak.
I think you are confusing Free Trade with what the Globalists are selling as ‘free trade’.
I’m not confusing it with any such thing and you’re still the same buttwipe you were yesterday and last month. Bug off.
Lindsey, your buddy Mr. McCain is calling you to come join him!
Isn’t all this round two? Don’t see mention of Victoria Nuland meddling in the area back in O’s admin.
They had to conquer & enslave the world to make it safe for free trade, & eventually democracy. Heroic, has a good motive beat, & you can dance to it.
Would it were hell, prior & post Hellenism, were for such heroes. Since it ain’t those bits of history litter, roman roadside trash, do what they can to make hell on earth.
And their legions of apologists take the purple prose draperies to all that fraud, fire & sword conquest.
“Our” world b/leaders are representative of such history.
A brief summary of American-Russian relations;
—- We have always been at war with Russia.
—- We will always be at war with Russia.
The End.
As trite as that may sound it is essentially true.

There are few things as beautiful and durable as a well made dovetail joint.
Yes, beautiful. Intolerant tolerances. Craftmanship. Fine woodworking. Art.
“Dovetails have been used in woodworking for at least 4,000 years. These examples and model tools were found in various tombs and burial sites in Egypt.”
https://kellerdovetail.com/gallery/dovetailsinegypt.html
And if you’re properly inside a finely fitted coffin, well, there’s no you to get out of joint.
But all the fine hoodwinking has made the coffin more or less invisible to many immured-inured people.
Art is limitation; the essence of every picture is the frame. If you draw a giraffe, you must draw him with a long neck. If in your bold creative way you hold yourself free to draw a giraffe with a short neck, you will really find that you are not free to draw a giraffe. ~ G.K. Chesterton
The frame is the reward of the artist. ~ Edgar Degas … but he also put it that the frame is the pimp of the painting; it enhances it, but it must never shine at the painting’s expense. (Some how tv mostly depicts the flashy pimps…probably completely unintentional.)
In this “larger” black arts context the qualification is obvious: the frame must never make those being painted more expensive to the framers’ intentions than is necessary. Efficiency, ruthlessly effected.
The Framers. Yes. Fine hoodwinking. And now those intelligences are tripping the light artificial. The doves are tailing themselves. But really, the enclosed hardrock miners have always made tailings of themselves, whilst often pretending that they wag the dog.
So does this bit of “the spectrum” reward perspective with metaphor? Mama’s got a squeezebox, daddy never sleeps at night, get back, get back to where you once belonged ….:
Pogo got the comic rendering, got the enemy in the mirror profile, but the explanatory tail-prehensile may be better repped by another marsupial, that lives in an even better repping black arts locale. Get back, Jojo, you womb•at.
Free Trade is not the answer to the Russian Ukraine conflict. It is in fact Free Trade agreements that have subjugated the Constitution of the United States to international treaties and taken away America’s freedoms while giving money and technology to America’s enemies so they could attack us. Just a few decades ago, China was a dirt poor, rural, agricultural country that couldn’t fight anybody with a modern military. Now China is shooting down satellites in space and threatening our Navy and Air Force because Clinton gave them our missile technology under the lie of Free Trade.
In the 80’s the UK government put out a warning to salvage divers with the best advice being to stay away from the Lusitania because of all the dangerous, unexploded ordnance.
After the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, the Romans gave up on conquering the world’s most innovative people living east of the Rhine.
