Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
Some people just cannot fathom that the fake news spear-headed by Victoria Nuland’s sister-in-law at the Institute for the Study of War never peace; they demonize Putin as they routinely do to anyone they oppose. My father taught me a lesson that you MUST always listen to your opponent because it is a window into his thinking process. I have read Marx not because I believed in what he was saying but to comprehend his thinking process and what led him to the conclusion that he killed more than 200 million people and still counting.
When you listen to Putin’s speech, he focuses on what many perceive as American culture. When we look deeper into American politics, the stats are revealing. They explain why many view the United States as out of control because of these extremely progressive ideas of attributing even pronouns, etc. Indeed, 93% of college professors gave to Biden. Just 7% gave to former President Donald Trump. That explains why we all know that a college education today may not be so desirable. The goal seems to indoctrinate our children to accept the political philosophies being taught in schools even though they have a proven track record of failure – consistently.
When I would interview students who wanted to work in our firm, I would ask them what were their opinions about various economists and their theories. When I asked about Marx, I was shocked. They said that social studies – not economics. I could tell what college they attended if they answered the question instead of looking befuddled. If they never studied Marx in economics, it explains how socialism is the panacea for the future because it hands the government more power. With each passing generation, attitudes shift and change.
Meanwhile, the biggest donors to President Trump were farmers, truckers, entrepreneurs, mechanics, and construction workers – not academics. Biden’s repeated failures in economics from his green agenda with agencies being overturned as violating the constitution regularly add to Biden’s woke extremism of progressives in general. Trump is not only winning over farmers, truckers, entrepreneurs, mechanics, and construction workers but also Black Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans, as well as immigrants who had to come here with a skill to get in. Add to that young people who see Trump as energetic compared to a feeble old man.
Add to this, it’s becoming so obvious that the political system that’s just not working. It is dying from the cancer of corruption within. The perception of this also differs between generations. The Baby Boomers tend to be galvanized into Republic or Democrat, with Independents being at best 10%, accounting for the swing between them.
There are clearly four generations in the workforce: Baby Boomers (oldest), Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. These generations were raised in different social and political atmospheres. I recall having drills for a nuclear blast and hiding under my desk, which seems comical today. Each generation had different childhood upbringings and familial environments. These all inspire different values, wants, and needs in adulthood, shaping our most basic views of morality.
The environment in which an individual is brought up in, namely the things that they lack or are deprived of in their childhood, strongly influences their value development throughout adulthood. When communism fell, being those borders, people rushed to get what they were deprived of. That is how even gold became what it is seen as to this day. It was at first reserved only for kings, for it was believed to be the tears of the sun god. For about 2600 years, gold was not money. It was reserved for kings. As more gold became available, the aristocrats suddenly wanted gold that had been forbidden. This gold first appears as jewelry.
Gold was finally plentiful enough to be used as money only from about 800 BC. It was first traded in lumps, and then it was fashioned into standard weights. It finally became a coin when a king stamped his badge on it to guarantee its weight and purity. While the baby boomers see gold as money, the younger generations do not. In India, the second largest market for gold, we see shifts in generational attitudes. Millennials in India aren’t buying gold the way their parents did. It has worsened for Generation Z (1996-2010), where the World Gold Council study highlighted that this generation lacks an emotional connection with gold.
In the Bronx, a Republican won for the first time in 40 years. This is a district where the Democrats outnumber Republicans 4 to 1. Things are shifting, and the press is so out of date; they keep preaching the same narrative of hating Trump because they are run by the Baby Boomers, who are the most leftist of the lot.
If Trump left New York and swam across the Hudson River, the headline would be – Trump Cannot Walk on Water. There is a major shift in attitudes between the generations. We are showing that the younger generations are much more pro-Trump than the Baby Boomers who run the press.
But how exactly does this tie into the ever-changing workplace and the rise and fall of politics? Certainly, we can generalize these individual upbringings that influence different adulthood values to the changing social and political leanings. However, the idea of women’s rights and the bra-burning days of the ’60s are over. The girls in our office were in their 20s when Hillary was running. They were told they were not a woman unless they voted for Hillary. They called her a female Nazi. The attitudes changed, and the younger generations also do not know the horrors of war that the Baby Boomers are creating as their last horah before they die.
The message of Marxism and equality for all is fading. We have had a black president, and things are not as stark as they were in the ’60s. With the passing of time, attitudes change. This enabled Christianity to rise as people became disenchanted with praying to Roman and Greek gods, and nothing happened. Jesus, the son of God sent to Earth, was not so foreign from the concept that Hercules was the son of Zeus sent here to help humanity. Attitudes shift and change with the passing of generations. We see that even in fashion, girls today wear jeans that are torn to represent what was actually during the 60s – not by fashion. Men’s ties widen and then narrow. Women’s skirts rise and fall. Even looking at the portraits of Roman women over a 224-year period shows the changing style and attitudes.
The Democrats are in trouble. The old Marxist storyline is fading into the sunset. Most of the rights the unions were formed to defend are now regulations today, and many see unions as becoming irrelevant. Like NATO, which always wants war, unions always want confrontation. The days of working conditions are long gone. What our model is showing is that the Democrats are pushing for war. This will be their own demise. Things have changed – but the Democrats cannot leave Socialism. They cannot even envision a world without Marxism.
What Putin addressed was the image of Biden’s extremism with this transgender, pronouns, and wokeness. Looking at America from the outside in, many are shaking their heads, asking what is going on.

His writing has deteriorated in the last few months. Zero editing and errors everywhere.
They said that social studies – not economics.
Whut?
It’s always been this way. More important is your take on Armstrong’s phizz.
It’s not good.
interesting that he named his computer after the ugly philosopher who attacked the greek ideas of beauty
Mr. Armstrong owns a very nice desktop, and a laptop, too!
What did he say that you disagree with?
phiz, face, physiognomy
I’ve been seeing that kind of sloppy all over the place lately . Sure , I’m a shitty writer but these people are supposed to be the professionals .
Who would have thunk putting niggers-faggot/pedophiles and illegal aliens w/leprosy on a pedestal would backfire ?
The western mind is retarded and I blame christianity and those who have no spirituality , the non-sattvic extroverts. Extrovert was a derogatory term in India and it still is amongst the wise, the ones everyone ignores, much to their advantage. I can’t read one second of “repugnantcunts vs demonrats” or “election” garbage anymore, much less analysis of the chosen tribes’ wars (simple genocide for real estate)…. y’all can continue with your bickering, I’m outta here – it’s like the abrahamic “religions” pure materialism duality kindergarten garbage. Until you realize you still have some guns and outnumber them vastly… and actually do something, you are tax slave peasants…farm animals.
DLTDHY
the herd will always be the herd
but sometimes there are animals testing their fences and someones got to show them the gaps
“The western mind is retarded…”
and you are most certainly a product of it.
Don’t be so sure socialism is fading. First, it is the biggest and best lie ever told. Second, it has been pounded into the heads of our children for 50 years. Finally, 90% of the media people are socialists. Those are three big obstacles in the way of getting the lie into the dust bin of history.
They teach the kids that it is ok to steal other peoples wealth but they know it is wrong to steal their wealth.
Just because Biden and Zelensky are bad does not make Putin good. Biden and Zelensky have done nothing to hinder Putin, and Western economic policies and sanctions have only weakened Western currencies. Driving international support away from the West. For his faults (covid jab, 5-G) Trump did rein in Putin’s military ambitions economically. Zelensky and Putin are both content to profiteer, while sending their young Nationalists to kill one another. The good guys can’t be distinguished, based on who claims to be Christian. We in the West villainize real Nationalism. Liberals confuse a Communist multicultural welfare state for patriotism. While Conservatives mistake Christianity for National identity. Though Christianity embraces multiculturalism and prophecy every intention of one world government, global scale genocide and mass slavery. Enough to make one wonder, where Christianity ends and Communism begins? We should consider the source and what their holy books have to say about the rest of us.
“Trump did rein in Putin’s military ambitions”
Elaborate please.
Trump denied Putin and Russia the economic solvency to wage war by outcompeting Russia in energy production. Western sanctions, economic and energy policies have driven world markets into the arms of fake Christian, crypto Soviet Putin. This wasn’t long ago and should be easy to confirm for those who don’t remember.
Never mind. My initial comment was wrong. Not enough coffee this am!
You’re attempting to post as someone else to discredit a post you could not dispute with facts and reason? How low of you.
Christianity concerns itself with what you “ought” to do ,because of the crucial centrality of free will to its theological underpinnings . Whereas communism in the words of either Stalin or Lenin ( I cant remember which )” releases you from the chimera of conscience ” by telling you what you” will ” do .( How nice huh ?You don’t have to worry about all that right or wrong , good or evil stuff anymore cuz the central authority has so graciously offered to handle all of that messy business for us eh ? What “are they made from some finer grade of clay then us “or somethin ? Thanks Freddy ,,,Bastiat!!! ) Ought we to help the poor ? Sure , we ought to , but just getting them hooked on a handout isn’t really helping them is it ? Quite the contrary actually as we have seen .
So now we see that its all about loving your fellow human beings but the only problem is is that actually loving them in the proper way( that enhances their actual physical, mental and spiritual well being/ ” agape ) is actually by modern largely materialistic sensibilities ( just give em free shit and theyll live happily ever after ) quite the counter intuitive enterprise . Allowing people to suffer for their own actions would be a good example , there is no better classroom than the school of hard knocks , those are valuable and hard won lessons , “heaven knows how to put a proper price on wisdom “, and it ain’t free or cheap, but painstakingly acquired .
In summary , is making someone weak and dependent actually an act of love toward that person ? I think not , it sounds more like Munchhausen by proxy to me where” the giver “is seen as compassionate and virtuious when in reality the so called giver is actually making the object of their so called compassion weaker and sicker . Remember when the old man would say ” this is gonna hurt me a lot more then its gonna hurt you ” just before he gave you your well earned lashes with his belt ? Tough love Baby !
Christianity serves up a code of morals, most White people comply with anyway. Do NOT steal, lie, kill, etc. Yet Abrahamic scripture affirms the tribe’s affinity for genocide, national destruction, and the bizarre and hateful practices of the real globalist elite. Christianity further “prophesies” the intentions of the tribe. From global scale genocide and slavery, and the poisoning and death of 1/3 of everything on earth. Somehow I believe the people of the West would be more noble and true to practice belief and observance of ancestral Gods. Which exist to preserve the world and life that Jehovah/Yahweh/Allah, and Satan (all one and the same for any practical purpose) promises to destroy. What we believe will determine the world’s outcome, and the eternal destination of our souls.
With the left holding all the power in all of the institutions that most influence young people, I don’t see how the leftist leanings of younger voters ever changes until some catastrophic collapse that forces them to change.
