Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
The post-2024 period appears to be a significant global war – all-in sort of thing. But will also be intermixed with shortages in commodities thanks to also weather conditions. Currently, the Neocons who have control of the Biden Administration are totally insane. They have used an executive order to do these sanctions bypassing Congress for as long as they do not send troops, they claim it is not an official declaration of war that ONLY Congress can issue. They are showing to the entire world that the very authoritarian regimes they hate, Russian and China, are precisely what they are doing in the United States intentionally trying to invoke war which they fully understand will NOT be sanctioned by Congress or the people.
The Neocons try to invoke patriotism so we follow whatever they say blindly when this is not a fight that is in the national interest. This is a fight for their hatred and they have no problem spilling the blood of our children as if this were some board game of war that makes them feel better because they defeated their enemy. These Neocons are HIGHLY dangerous and they are the reason for war and the end of Western Civilization. They are the real threat to the national security and the future of our children and grandchildren.
Their strategy is taken right out of the war book used during the FDR Administration. This is precisely what FDR did to get the United States into World War II. He was frustrated because Congress would not authorize joining the war. When FDR went to Boston, the Irish lashed out at him saying that the British starved the Irish and they were now not going to go defend them. Many people who fled Europe to America was to be free of the hatred and politics in Europe. So it was NOT a popular idea of coming to the rescue of Europe which they fled.
The Neocons during the FDR Administration followed a clever agenda to circumvent Congress as they are doing right now. They were racists and simply hated the Japanese as is the case with Russian right now. They started in 1938 with a series of escalating highly restrictive trade restrictions imposed on Japan. The Neocons terminated the 1911 commercial treaty with Japan in 1939. They then tightened the Export Control Act of 1940, which was intended to prevent the scarcity of critical commodities in a likely prewar environment. In addition, this Act was directly targeting Japan to restrict the exportation of material to Imperial Japan.
This was followed by the United States embargoed scrap-metal shipments to Japan and closed the Panama Canal to Japanese shipping. The Neocons were seeking to isolate Japan without engaging in war that only Congress could declare Japan, at the time, imported about 74% of its scrap iron from the US and over 90% of its copper.
Then on July 26, 1941, the US seized all Japanese assets in the United States in retaliation for the Japanese occupation of French Indo-China as they have done today with Russia’s reserves. This was followed on August 1 with an oil embargo and gasoline exports to Japan which also came from the United States. The oil embargo was the last straw when 80% of its energy supply came from the USA. The US also was proposing intervening to prevent Japan from getting oil from other sources.
The complete U.S. oil embargo was the last straw. The Japanese had to then seize Southeast Asia for resources which expanded the war instead of the old hatred between China and Japan. They needed to do that before they ran out of resources. To secure themselves in the Pacific, they attacked Pearl Harbor with no intention of actually invading the United States.
The racism was highly dominant in WWII and that led to the imprisonment of all Japanese regardless if they were born in America. The prejudice became widespread and unfortunately, things are following along the same path. They have ERASED the name of the first man in space changing history all because is is just a Russian. The same hatred is emerging and this is a very dark sign for the future.
BOTH sides have their Neocons and these people will manipulate society to achieve their goals. We are just the pawns on the chess board and they have discovered their clever ways to create wars with sanctions which then instigate the military response because the people themselves never want war.

Most people are unaware of the run-up to WWII, Armstrong lays out this history well.
It certainly looks like we are on a similar path, sanctions, financials as war tools, one sided propaganda.
Watching ‘Cadaver Joe’ fumble and bumble around in Europe is beyond embarrassing it dangerous.
One would be wise to plan for the unthinkable…………..
I’ve been trying, with little success, to enlighten my media enraged friends and family to step back and look at history, and what the similar circumstances were just prior to Japan’s surprise (was it though?) attack on Pearl.
Didn’t the US also sever all diplomatic negations with Japan prior to that Sunday morning?
History may not repeat, but………this is looking extremely dismal with the “leadership” the US has at the moment.
The US had prior intelligence of the Japanese fleet from the time it left Japan. It knew what its mission was and when it would happen.
My ammo is reserved for the TPTB and their minions.
Notice that the ‘will of the people’ doesn’t mean a friggen thing. Go ahead and vote, you fools.
Panama canal…but an example of US treachery which has been the design from the beginning .
A whitewashed, but easy to read link. No reflection on the avg. citizen, same as every other ‘Country’. The Evil is all consuming since the Garden. The 1 & 1/3 have no nationality, but they are clearly over-represented by those who say they are, but are not.

Ever watch a flock of sheep in one of the old cowboy movies? They are not cattle as they are constantly wandering off and need to be driven back to the herd. Sheep only follow the mass or group needing nothing more than a single dog to keep them going where the shepherd wants to go. You feed sheep on free things like grass and water. Sound familiar? Then there are lemmings. They follow each other off of cliffs to their own demise. Sound Familiar? We are now a country of sheep fed by the government and the vast majority are stupid like lemmings being led off the cliff. Don’t believe me? Just look at the media driving the scenario and what the government is doing to our freedom and our lives. Hope you all can survive the next few years although I doubt most people will not!
He misuses “neocon” quite a bit as do others increasingly in these articles.
Neocons are former communists, usually Jewish who were frustrated by the failure of leftist institutions, groups etc. They then moved toward the Republican Party. They embraced the US having overwhelming military power and unflinching strong support for Israel. On social issues they are leftish being far more likely than mainstream Republicans to support abortion and gun control and social BS in general. Bill Kristol’s father Irving and his mother Gertrude Himmelfarb are considered the founding family of neoconservatism. The Weekly Standard was the neocon mouthpiece. Bill Kristol said the neocon movement could attach itself to either party and had no allegiance to either and was just looking for the home that would push their foreign policy ideas of the day.
They took over the Bush administration’s ideology and switched hats for Obama, hated Trump and are right at home with Dementia Joe. I think they might be the ideologists of the Uniparty these days. We have lamp posts enough for all of them. As you can see from the hate filled bitch from Hell Liz Cheney and Hitlary World they will surely have them for us if they get the chance.
