MARTIN ARMSTRONG'S LATEST BLOG POSTS

Syria & Iran

Rouhani President Hassan
As strange as this all gets, Syria’s main ally is Tehran. This is why the Saudi’s want Syria gone. But as always, political views only change with economics. Communism fell not because of some battle to the death. Communism collapsed all by itself because it was economically a disaster.
In Iran, the June elections ushered in a political change in the wind. President Hassan Rouhani won the election in Iran with a landslide. He campaigned on trying to get rid of the economic sanctions by engaging with the West. His victory was so impressive among the youth that he won even the very cautious backing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to move forward and try engage with Western countries and attempt to ease Iran’s isolation over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Nevertheless, the old hardliners who Rouhani defeated at the polls still dominate parliament. They also control the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Their agenda is to return Iran to the familiar posture of defiance. A strike by the USA is more likely to end the one chance we have for easing problems in the whole region.
President Hassan Rouhani is preparing to travel to New York to attend the UN personally this month. This will be a real first for Iran. The US military strikes on Syria seem almost a desperate attempt to stop Rouhani’s diplomacy efforts. A rational play here would be to back off and try to encourage President Rouhani and show the Iranian people that joining the world community is better than confronting it.
So there are clearly questions that spring forward as to why would Obama derail the entire region and support the hardliner’s who will say – see, you cannot trust the yanks. When President Rouhani is coming to the US this month, this is even stranger timing. It is as if Obama is deliberately trying to create an unstable Middle East.

The Truth About Solitary Confinement

Castro Ariel
Ariel Castro who was sentenced on August 1 to life plus 1,000 years in prison without the possibility of parole for abducting the three girls and keeping them imprisoned in his house, has been found in his cell hanged. Putting people in the hole who first go into prison is a favorite thing. They far too often commit suicide. Few would cry for Castro. That is not the point. He illustrates a dirty little secret. Suicide in prison is VERY common and it is not reported except in some high profile case like this.
The untold story is how they typically throw newly arrested people in a dungeon to show them what they will have to endure if they do not do as they are told. There is no consideration for the mental state of the person nor is there criteria for what they have done – that is irrelevant. A 23 year-old kid hung himself after 3 days in MCC New York. Another used plastic straps they put around your hands like handcuffs. He put them around his neck and hanged himself. The weight of his body was too great and the plastic too strong, so the end result was he decapitated himself.
Women often commit suicide because they lose their children and they are put up for adoption all because normally her boyfriend or husband was selling drugs. There are thousands of these people because they arrest the seller, not the importer. That is why the prisons are full. There is always someone behind the seller looking to make a fast buck. There is an endless supply while the importers pay bribes etc.
In the case of Castro, his lawyers wanted a psychologist.to see him. The prison refused. No matter who the person is or what they did, you cannot throw human beings in a dark 15 by 10 cell with no human contact and expect nothing. It takes a strong mind to survive that sort of thing and then they give you no heat or so much even underwear is too much.
They threw Bradley Manning into solitary confinement prior to trial. This is all Psychological Warfare that rises to the level of mental torture that is excessive and inhuman treatment. Unfortunately, it is standard torture practices used in the Justice Department to ensure they get their 98% plea rate so they never have to go to trial. In my own case, they came out and told me to my face they did not want to go to trial. They offered two deals. I refused, so off to solitary confinement you go. They will do whatever it takes to break people. Solitary is no joke.
Solitary
.Owen Richard
Judge Richard Owen
When my case first began, Judge Richard Owen kept making jokes aboutSteven Schiffer and how he was the first in an SEC case to be stripped of all lawyers. Judge Owen said he never “took it upstairs” meaning to the Appeal’s Court and then laughed in court. When I asked my lawyer, who Owen was trying to remove, what was so funny he said “you don’t want to know.” I insisted – who was this Schiffer he was constantly joking about. I had never heard of Schiffer. It turned out Judge Owen caused him to commit suicide hanging himself stripped of counsel and harassed by government on every front. Some people just cannot endure this type of treatment. This is how they get their pleas – threats and torture. It should be illegal to accept a plea, but when the judges are former prosecutors, there is nobody to protect human rights. This is all about winning. That is it.
Heyl Dorothy

Dorothy Heyl
When they then threatened my family as they did to Michael Milken, I wrote a letter to the SEC prosecutor Dorothy Heyl. I told her if they were trying to get me to commit suicide as they did to Schiffer so they never have to prove a case, I told her I would not go so quietly. If they touched my family a letter would be sent by friends around the world to state why I had to commit suicide to protect my family from really inhuman people lurking in the so-called Justice Department. They backed off. But that agency is full of people who are really worst than some of the criminals. They enjoy torturing people and there is something wrong when Judges make jokes about people they caused to commit suicide. That is why they are there – it’s a side perk. Some of these people are really sick. Granted, I saw some with compassion and a conscience. But they are far and few between.
Castro hanging himself is by no means unexpected. Prisons know the death rate by suicide is exceptionally high when you throw people into solitary confinement. Death becomes a welcome relief. It is easier to leave than to stay. You really have to be on point to survive this sort of treatment. People think the death penalty is the worst. No – many end up praying for death. At least it is then over and what you do not experience can’t hurt you.

Syria – Benghazi Connection

Benghazi
What is taking place in Syria is far more complicated than most people suspect. As with everything, there is the story, and then there is the truth lurking behind the story. The region has been flooded with weapons supplied to rebels initially in Libya that have flowed to Syria, Mali, and even back to the streets in the USA. Nothing but nothing is what it appears. There is way too much bullshit for we are far beyond a shovel – we now need full blown mining equipment to get to the truth about anything.
Stevens Christopher Abassador
John Christopher Stevens (1960–September 12, 2012) was the American diplomat and lawyer who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Libya from June 2012 until his murder on September 12, 2012. The entire Benghazi incident is far deeper than most people would ever dream. True, the Obama administration is covering up the incident as 22 CIA agents were present at the time.
Stevens Christopher Abassador TorturedOne source has reported that the CIA has been subjecting operatives working in Libya to frequent polygraph tests to make sure they are not leaking information about Benghazi. Why? What is lurking in the shadows? The real reasons why and the connection to Syria today are discussed behind-the-curtain – not in the open.

It is alleged that Stevens was actually set up by the CIA. Some say in retaliation for another CIA agent who he caused to go to prison where he died. But the deeper allegations have widespread circumstances attached that now go directly to Syria. As the story goes on the Hill, Stevens was involved in arms dealing. He was selling arms to the Libyan rebels. Russia actually warned the USA that it should not overthrow Qaddafi. Of course, the US acts more like a vengeful lover than a rational strategist. In the Middle East, dictators have kept the religious zealots in check. Removing them has opened the door to worldwide terrorism.
Both the rebels who the West are fighting in Mali and the rebels in Syria have gotten their weapons from those allegedly sold by Stevens to the Libyan rebels. This is far more complicated than what is being reported and there is a lot more at stake than what people suspect. Even France was supplying weapons to Libyan rebels illegally like the USA against UN sanctions. This is why Obama could care less what the UN says – it has routinely circumvented the international law and that is what Stevens was really doing in Libya. When we sell or give weapons to such groups they not merely spread to other groups, they also end up being sold into the US domestic market.

This idea that government is honest is just propaganda. A CIA agent was disavowed when it was revealed he had sold weapons to Libya. He told the court he was doing it for the CIA. The CIA said he never worked for them. Edwin P. Wilson worked under non-official cover for the CIA for years. The CIA claimed he enjoyed a jet-setting lifestyle and profited from selling weapons to Libya, all off tax payer money. He was convicted of shipping arms to Libya in 1983 and served 22 years in prison  (10 in the hole held incommunicado) before his conviction was overturned and was finally released from prison in 2004 only because his daughter relentless kept filing freedom of information requests that proved eventually the CIA was lying all the time to cover-up their illegal arms sales.

So if you question the stories that Stevens was really selling arms to rebels in Libya circumventing UN sanctions off the books of course, look at the track record of our government. You cannot ever believe a single word they tell you. On top of that, they will imprison anyone for life under false evidence to cover-up the truth and will not blink an eye. They have no conscience or moral character and will go have dinner after executing innocent people as they did in the famous Rosenberg trial of the 1950s executing his wife they KNEW had nothing to do with anything.. They cannot believe in God or the last judgment. It is only about them and what they want to do. They care nothing about honor or the people. Nothing but nothing will ever deter them from maintaining power – period!

On August 29th, 2013, the Obama administration surprisingly announced new gun control measures. These deal with the little known problem of re-importation of US weapons we give to rebels to fight various conflicts that go to our streets.The Obama administration is now curbing the import of military surplus weapons.All the yelling and screaming about weapons on the streets it is not widely understood that they actually are coming from our own sales or gifts to rebels overseas. We hand out weapons like candy for political reasons and they arm the domestic drug trade. The story behind-the-curtain was that Stevens played an active role in selling these weapons and that was the real reason for him being targeted. The weapons that were flowing through him are alleged to be the key to conflicts throughout the region and were flooding the streets in America as well. This was a key source of weapons for Syrian rebels. Taking out Stevens stopped that traffic in guns.
While France is eager to get into Syria, their “evidence” disagrees with that of the Obama Administration. They claim there were only 281 killed not 1400. The Syrian opposition is highly fragmented and divided between groups based abroad and inside the country. To overthrow the Syrian government will turn the “civil war” into a Holy War and we will see tremendous death and carnage.Russia has been pointing to the rebels using chemical weapons. To top this, then there are reports that it was Saudi Arabia who supplied chemical weapons to the Syrian Rebels to get the US involved and raise oil prices given the US is less dependent on imported oil.
Bandar Prince
The Saudi Prince Bandar is not only blamed for giving chemical weapons to the Syrian rebels, Then Prince Bandar is reported trying bribe Russia to back off and not support Syria. There is too much bullshit going on to justify an attack and in the end, the truth will always surface as it did with Iraq.
