| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Last week, Signature Bank followed with customers withdrawing more than $10 billion in deposits.
And we just had an announcement about Credit Suisse.
I mean, it is on fire right now.
And independent media has been warning this is coming for a very, very long time and we're finally here.
World-renowned economist Martin Armstrong says the financial collapse is guaranteed.
So what now?
Well, he's optimistic and he says that his computer model Socrates says this will involve a huge win for the people if we heed the advice of those warning about the Great Reset.
Those who are awake see what's going on, but there is much more to this than people realise and I think you'll agree after watching this interview.
Before we bring Martin on, we've got a quick word from one of our sponsors at Gold Co.
Precious metals are a huge key to the success of the people right now and you'll understand this after watching this interview.
That's why we are proud to stand with companies that can be trusted where precious metals are concerned who also help fund people like us that are willing to tell you the truth about what's really going on in the world and how we can actually overcome this.
Stay tuned.
We will be right back after this short break.
The last time the economy looked this bad, the stock market tanked.
The economy collapsed and inflation hit record highs.
But at the same time, the price of gold shot up 1,300%.
It could happen again.
Can you afford to miss what could be the biggest gold and silver boom of our generation?
Not to mention, precious metals can potentially safeguard your future with tangible assets rather than just digits on your bank manager's screen, which could disappear at the press of a button.

We're joined now by world-renowned economist Martin Armstrong.
He's been a guest of this show many, many times.
We really, really value his information.
He's been right many, many times about where the market is going.
And his system, Socrates, is very, very unique.
No other system in the world exists like it.
Martin, thank you so much for joining us today.
Well, it's always a pleasure.
It's great to have you back.
So I guess we have real chaos erupting all over the world.
We've had major US banks crashing over the past week.
And, you know, now we've got Credit Suisse.
The news this morning that Credit Suisse is in serious trouble.
What is the situation looking like?
Or perhaps should we start with how did this actually all begin to unfold?
Primarily, the problem is that we're moving into this inverted yield curve.
And you have all the press out there that effectively don't tell the truth.
And a lot of these people in corporations and banks, they actually listen to what is written in the newspapers.
And they don't understand You know, a lot of people have been talking about, oh, you know, inflation, the Fed's raising rates and they're watching the CPI and jobs.
That is absolutely total nonsense.
You have to sometimes listen to what is not being said.
Absolutely.
The number one factor in inflation is war.
I mean, World War I, World War II, you sent all the money to the U.S. That's what made it basically the financial capital of the world.
We had the The Korean War, that's when the White House and the Fed got into a real tiff.
The Fed refused to keep interest rates flat where the government wanted them to do it.
And they said, no, you're going into another war and we're not going to do it.
Then you had the Vietnam War.
I mean, the inflation that that created.
Here we have Ukraine.
It is the most irresponsible war, I think, ever perhaps in history.
I agree.
Biden is just handing money, you know, shoveling it out the window with no accountability.
This is effectively, they have declared war on Russia without declaring war, you know, blowing up the pipeline, etc.
That is an act of war.
That is an act of war.
Absolutely.
And I can tell you that there are people in Washington already saying that, gee, if China takes Taiwan, the US should go and take out the chip manufacturing companies and destroy them, like they did with the pipeline.
This is just complete insanity, what we have going on.
And you must understand that when Powell testifies, he cannot go out there and criticize the government.
They're just not going to do it.
All right, so he talks about inflation, talks about jobs.
You know, the elephant in the room is the war.
I mean, look at how much money, you know, Biden has given Ukraine twice the annual military budget of Germany.
It's astounding to me.
It's astounding to me that America's own borders aren't secure and they're sending all of this money to Ukraine to protect their borders, essentially.
Australia, as well, sending more and more resources to Ukraine and getting involved in something we should not be involved in.
I can't believe what I'm watching unfold before my very eyes, but at the same time, I can believe it, Martin.
Geared at the collapse of the current financial system and everything as we know it, aka the Great Reset, so that they can implement their system, their CBDCs, their digital currencies, their digital IDs.
I mean, from my opinion, it's a systematic destruction to lead to that point.
And a lot of them, I would have to say, don't necessarily have that agenda, but they have part of it.
So you have the climate zealots who basically want Russia destroyed because they're the biggest fossil fuel.
They're not thinking beyond that issue.
Then you have the neocons who have been basically creating endless wars for decades.
You know, Vietnam, you know, Afghanistan, you just go down the list.
They've never won a single one, but they always want to do the same thing.
And it's always about regime change.
That's their main goal.
The CIA used to maybe assassinate people, but these people want always regime change, and their idea seems to be created ever since Khrushchev said, we will bury you, you know, in 1956.
That was basically Khrushchev saying that they wanted to spread communism to take over the world.
So these people wanted to spread what they call democracy, which is really not, it's republicanism, to the rest of the world.
And they really are quite deranged.
I mean, they really think that they can topple dictators like in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq, and the people will just cheer and give them a ticker tape parade.
And it just never happened.
And they're saying the same thing.
Oh, Putin's this evil guy.
And if we overthrow, the Russians will be so happy.
And I'm sorry.
It's just not true.
I mean, can you imagine if Russia said, well, we're going to interfere in Australia until you change your government?
Yes, it's like, how dare you?
How dare you?
Exactly.
Yes.
And Russia is fully entitled to protect itself, just as any other country would be.
So, you know, this PSYOP and this attack on Russia is so clear to all of us, particularly because, I don't know if you saw, Martin, but the Russian General, General Igor Kirilov, came out this week confirming that What the Stu Peters Network and Karen Kingston and Project Veritas actually have revealed about directed evolution,
dual use programs, gain of function, and how the COVID-19 injections were essentially a bioweapon.
This came out of the Russian military, for goodness sake.
So we are dealing with, you know, whether people want to call that the propaganda of war or not, that aspect of what they're saying is absolutely true.
That is the truth.
This has been occurring, and they are the only government or military to actually say that the mRNA injections are dangerous and causing adverse events.
I mean, it was astounding news, Martin.
Truly astounding news.
So, I think the world would do well to pay attention to what Russia is saying right now, because a lot of truth has come out of there.
Yes.
I mean, you know, unfortunately, we have to get the press, at some point, has got to start questioning what the heck, you know, they're being told from their puppet masters.
I mean, they went after Seymour Hersh and said, all of a sudden, oh, he puts out stuff that's not verified.
Because, you know, saying that the pipeline was destroyed, I mean, by the US. I mean, It was.
I mean, there's so much evidence in that area.
I mean, it's, you know, come on.
I mean, you're now endangering the entire world with this fake news.
Yes.
Let's get on it.
I mean, the neocons in the United States, they have been waging wars all the time.
They're never held accountable.
Congress is supposed to declare war, all right?
They haven't declared war on Ukraine or Russia or anything else.
These people just get a hold of foreign policy and just start doing things all on their own.
And, you know, this is really a very serious danger to everybody.
Then we get drafted to go fight wars that they want to create so they can sit back and drink champagne.
Oh, yes, yes.
Zelensky told us that the sons and daughters of the United States citizens would need to go and die in the wall for Ukraine.
I mean...
This guy, and I was just speaking this week with Stu Peters about how shocking the moment that the Ukraine flag was raised in Congress above, in front of the American flag.
This was an act of treason right then and there.
Someone should have done something about this treasonous behaviour, but we're dealing with people that, you know, as you say, have absolutely lost their minds, or have they?
And I guess that's the point here, Martin.
Is this, and going back to what's happening with the financial system and the banking system, is this controlled demolition, or are they just not realising the reason, what their actions, the consequences of their actions?
It's hard to say.
You know, when you have Biden, you know, his press secretary bragging about how woke they are, and he has seven aides that are transgender and stuff.
I mean, it's like, I mean, honestly, I had a call from my congressman asking me if I would, you know, get back into things.
And I said, why you people keep calling me?
And they said, well, we don't have anybody with your experience from the Cold War.
I said, that's just 1991.
I mean, it's as if anybody that had any experience is gone.
You know, if you're not, you know, woke and meet some criteria, I mean, you know, get out of Washington, I suppose.
I mean, so on one hand, the neocons couldn't possibly have grabbed a hold of foreign policy like this if there were anybody there with experience.
I mean, they are now in full control of the White House.
I mean, you know, And a lot of them are just extreme leftists, and I'm not sure they even understand what they're saying.
You know, to come out and say that, well, you know, anybody that had more than 250,000, well, you know, suck it up.
That's your problem.
You know, I spent all weekend basically screaming on the phone.
I said, do you people realize what's going to happen here?
So what is going to happen?
If they continue down this path, what is going to happen?
Effectively, you're telling everybody that any small business, you better get your money out of the bank, put it into a brokerage house and run it in T-bills.
They don't comprehend that if you basically just default on 85% of the deposits, You're wiping out so many small businesses.
Then fine, that small person you think is going to vote for you.
All right, he got his 250 grand.
Now he lost his job, his house, and everything else because everybody else is going down the tubes.
I mean, in the 30s, when the FDIC was created, you know, we still had, you know...
More of a localized economy.
Today, everything is so interconnected that you cannot, you know, possibly understand.
You allow, you know, SVB to go down and cheat 85% of the depositors.
That is now going to be an immediate contagion across the country.
On top of all this, we have this fake news which has really undermined the economy dramatically.
Because, I mean, I can tell you, I mean, from years ago, when they were starting the euro, we got called in by Mercedes.
They had just simply read the newspapers and shorted the British pound because the newspaper said, oh, Britain's not joining the euro and the pound's going to fall apart.
So they went short.
And they lost, they were down a billion dollars.
They finally called us in and they said, hey, you know, okay, fine.
We worked to get them out of that position.
And then they said, would you go meet with Daimler-Benz because they have the same trade.
So I went and met with the board of directors of Daimler-Benz and I said, look, you know, There was no foreign exchange hedging department or anything.
These decisions were made at the board level.
And then the board, because they had gotten whipsawed so many times, passed a rule that said, well, once they put on a hedge, they won't lift it.
They just let it expire.
I mean, so I've been called in to different companies and you don't realize There's often a very serious lack of expertise.
And they actually do read what is in the newspapers.
Oh, that's what everybody says, so I guess that's what I do.
So you had all these newspapers saying that inflation is going to come down, that it's not that big of a deal, etc.
And you can look at it.
Inflation started going up in 2020, right after COVID. The first rate hike by the Federal Reserve was March of 22.
Why did it wait so long?
Because it raised rates as soon as Russia went into Ukraine.
This is what goes on behind the curtain.
People don't get it.
When I was called in by China after the 1997 Asian currency crisis, I met with the central bank.
They said, gee, you're doing a great job.
You're right.
The capital flows have shifted.
And we said they're shifting out of Asia, going back to Europe to get in for the euro.
And I said, you know, well, that's nice.
I'm glad you guys agree with me.
Why don't you come out and say the same thing?
And they said, oh, we can't come out and criticize another central bank.
So, there's so much behind the scenes that people don't know.
I mean, I talk to all these guys.
They can't come out and speak like that.
I gave a lecture at the Treasury Management Association of Canada.
And the central bank was there, and people asked me what the central bank's looking at, and I would say that they're not looking at this, they're looking at that, whatever.
And they would immediately turn to look at, see what those guys did if they flinched, you know?
And they were a perfect stone-faced poker player.
And afterwards, I said, gee, I hope I didn't say anything you didn't, you know, that offended you.
And they said, Marty, I wish I could stand up and say the same thing.
You know, this is really the way it is.
They have to be very careful.
I even asked, you know, Bank of Canada, how come you can talk to me, but you can't even talk to the finance minister of Nova Scotia?
And they said, if I speak to him before I speak to New Brunswick, I get into trouble.
Right.
So it's...
And he says, I can talk to you because you're not Canadian.
I said, okay.
I mean, this is the real world.
So the fake news has been basically putting out propaganda that has misled banks and corporations into not realizing why interest rates are going to continue higher into 24.
You can't keep shoveling this amount of money out to Ukraine and expect to be no inflation.
Yes, you're absolutely right.
Even here in Australia, we had one case recently, Martin, where interest rates rose twice in two weeks.
And we've been told that they'll keep going up.
And to keep expecting that, they've been honest with us about the fact that they'll keep going up, but not the reason as to why they keep going up.
Right.
They can't say the reason.
Yes.
You know, this is what's going on.
So as long as this war continues, our computers showing rates are going up into 24.
And the problem you have with Credit Suisse and all these banks, you know, there was that London crisis there in the long-term bonds a couple months ago.
That was the start of it.
All right, you have pension funds and banks that had bought these long-term bonds.
Okay, now all of a sudden interest rates are going up.
And they're taking a bloodbath on the long-term debt.
Because every time there's a quarter basis point hike, you have to multiply that out for the 30 years or whatever the duration is of the bond.
So the bond goes down 10, 20, 30, 40%.
That's what's bringing these Banks down.
They were getting free money, effectively, for so long, and they just took it and just, okay, fine, I'll buy a 10-year bond or a 20-year bond or a 30-year bond.
And now they're getting absolutely slaughtered on those investments.
It's almost like MUN. That was partly coordinated, even.
So, for example, how small businesses were purposely squashed and they don't, as part of the Great Reset model, they don't want medium to small enterprises to succeed.
They only want the big chains to succeed and you either work for the machine or you, you know, eat bugs and die.
And it's like they...
Don't want any smaller banks as well to succeed because it's like they were baited, right?
Because you can't have central bank digital currencies controlled by four big four banks, for example, if there are all these other banking options available out there for people.
Well, I'm not sure they're necessarily that smart.
You always say that to me, but I think they may be.
But go on, state your case.
There are individuals that are operating for a specific issue.
Like I said, the climate zealots, and they don't really understand about anything else.
Then you have the neocons who could care less about the domestic economy at all.
You know, all they're concerned about is conquering Europe.
I mean, conquering Russia.
They were against, you know, even going back when, really, you had Reagan wanting to meet with Gorbachev.
They objected to that.
Oh, you can't trust Russians.
You can't do that.
They were fuming that he would even meet with them.
So, I mean, this is their agenda and it's been going on for decades.
So that's not something new.
All right.
Then you have the Klaus Schraub and that group that see this great reset.
They want to basically, because they know the system is collapsing from a debt perspective.
Yes.
All right.
And you have all these governments who, up to now, have been effectively, they borrow year after year with no intention of paying anything back.
They can't pay off these debts.
Yes.
I mean, often 70% of the national debt is nothing but a cumulative interest.
So, I mean, we used to, you know, scream when the budget got to a trillion dollars.
Now we're looking at trillion dollar years of interest payments.
I mean, there is no way out but to default.
And that's, you know, the Klaus Schwab side.
All right.
If you end up doing this thing as far as defaulting, and that's where he's coming in making it sound like, oh, we're doing this for you.
You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
Making it sound like this is all about you because I care about you.
Yes, and his marketing pitch comes in.
He's taking advantage of the current situation, which was bound to happen anyway.
Because you can't just, you know, keep printing fake money, essentially.
Yeah.
I mean, Schwab and I have been on opposite side of the tables for a long time.
All right?
Many people basically say he started...
Talking about this great reset, which is what our forecast was for the 2032.
He's just trying to push everything in his direction where I'm saying, look, we get an opportunity to redesign government and this will be the fall of republicanism.
And hopefully we go to real democracy.
Yes.
What a real democracy is that we should have the right to vote.
Do you want to go to war against Russia and Ukraine?
Yes or no?
We don't even have that right.
Yes, no, you're absolutely right.
Democracy is an illusion, as it is right now.
I want to ask you about this blog post, The Unfolding Bank Crisis.
You spoke here about bank runs.
So you said you'll offer this recommendation publicly because your ear is turning red from all the phone calls.
If the Biden administration does not heed your warning, your forecast will be devastating.
The Biden administration must stand behind all deposits, not the 250k FDIC limit.
And then you said if they do not, small businesses will pull excess cash from banks, switch to 30-day T-bills at brokerage house and say screw the FDIC and the Biden administration's anti-rich So, essentially, this is, from what I see, they have done that now, so they've guaranteed the whole amount, but it's at the cost of the little guys, of course, the taxpayer.
No, not really.
I should put it this way.
With SVB... When it failed, it had a London office.
HSBC immediately did the standard thing.
The Bank of England sold it so that all the deposits are then covered.
It's the shareholders that lose everything in the bank.
And the tangible assets, basically, that all goes to that.
So it's not really costing the taxpayer anything.
The war is.
But that doesn't.
And Biden was coming in with this crazy notion that they were only going to cover the 250.
And I mean, I couldn't believe what I was hearing on the weekend.
I said, you really realize what's going to happen?
I mean, I would pull everything out of the bank myself.
I mean, you know, you can't do this.
And it's so interconnected.
And like I said, this is not talking about protecting the rich versus the poor.
All these small businesses basically have cash on hand to operate.
All right.
That includes payroll.
I mean, you say, okay, sorry, all these small businesses, well, you're gone.
70% of employment is with small business.
I mean, the ramifications of this are just off the scale.
I mean, it will make the Great Depression look like, you know, a fairy tale.
I mean, you want to see a Great Depression?
Do that.
And you're going to see something far worse.
And my warning was that if they do that, you know, you're pushing not just a depression, you're pushing a revolution.
Yes, because now we're not talking about, you know, a lot of people that are watching this are looking at it from the perspective of a globalist orchestrated Great Reset move.
Okay, so they're seeing this as it's going to play out that Credit Suisse is going to collapse.
Huge cross-exposure.
This is actually, I read this from Mike Adams this morning.
Huge cross-exposure to US banks will cause a ripple of banking crisis even across big US banks.
Wells Fargo is on the list.
Fed and Treasury will declare appropriate emergencies and bail out the banks in the US. This will require printing trillions of dollars, flooding the system with massive liquidity.
Within about six months, inflation will absolutely skyrocket as the new money surges through the system like a shot of heroin, he says.
Inflation will cause the Fed to panic and raise rates even higher.
More banks will fail, more bailout money printed, more inflation.
And this ends in hyperinflation over the next few years and the total collapse of the dollar in the US banking system.
What do you think about that, Martin?
All the banks are Deeply interconnected on trades, etc.
I don't think it necessarily unfolds in that manner.
You're not talking about trillions of dollars in losses or things of that nature.
You know, you have trades on, and there may be the counterparty.
I mean, it would take a lot to unwind a lot of things, and there would definitely be losses on such trades.
That was the whole repo crisis where U.S. banks were not interested in lending any money to a European bank after Merkel said that they would not bail out Deutsche Bank.
Then why would you do a trade with them?
Because if they go bust, the government's not going to stand behind their trades.
So, you know, I don't know.
Sometimes I feel like I'm just screaming at kindergarten.
I don't believe I even have to explain such things to people in the industry like this.
I don't know.
It's just mind-boggling.
I don't think you're going to see it in that fashion.
Hyperinflation is not printing money.
It's the actual opposite.
What happens is that people then start hoarding their money, their cash.
That then reduces the economy.
The government, to keep funding itself, ends up having to print money.
All right, if you look at the German hyperinflation, it took off after December of 22, because what they did, they confiscated 10% of everybody's assets out of the bank, all right, to cover their reparation payments.
So then the hyperinflation came the next year.
Why would you then trust the bank?
If you just confiscated 10% of what everybody had, are you going to leave your money in the bank?
You're going to take it out.
Absolutely.
You might do it again.
They converted to, you know, every other currency under the book, you know, Swiss francs, French francs, you know, pounds, whatever.
Then there was just simply nothing there for the government to get again, and that was the hyperinflation.
All right, hyperinflation is the end result of the collapse in confidence.
It's not the other way around, the chicken or the egg sort of thing.
So if they had done this to SVB, that would have been to me more like December 29, and then you set off something of a collapse in the confidence.
One comes before the other.
We saw people like Peter Thiel, for example, watching his actions, you know, and People warning about what was about to happen, telling others to put their money elsewhere.
It looked like certain people were in the know, Martin, about the fact that this was going to happen and perhaps even orchestrating this bank run.
Look, it's obvious on this yield curve problem.
And a lot of these banks, the more that they had engaged in a long-term investment side, which was not covered, and they lost so much, and the regulators have not taken into account any auditing on the durational risk.
You know, it's a very serious problem because they haven't taken into consideration what happens in the long term.
But yes, this has been going on.
After the London problem, Janet Yellen came out and said, well, maybe the Treasury should start buying in the long term and swapping it for the short term.
A lot of people misunderstood that and said, oh, she's going to compete with the Fed.
No, she's just doing a credit swap.
That's because of this problem.
That the long-term liquidity has collapsed.
Why would you buy a long-term bond as long as you're going to have an endless war?
There's no end to this.
There's no accountability.
I mean, honestly, you know, you shouldn't be going out more than, you know, 90-day paper, period, because of the total irresponsibility of those running governments.
And standing up and cheering war, I mean, the only two things that ever survive a nuclear attack are cockroaches and politicians.
That's it.
So we have to understand that we have...
I mean, you know, I've been at this game for more than 40 years.
This is the worst possible crop of world leaders I have ever seen in my entire career.
I mean, I don't know if there's anybody that I could sit down and even have an intelligent conversation with.
Biden had to bring a napkin to wipe the drool from his mouth, I guess.
I mean, it's...
I've never...
I watched the recent press with Corrine Jean-Pierre and, you know, we've just had two major banks collapsing and she's talking about how she's a black lesbian and the two people next to her are also black and I'm just...
I'm astounded to watch this.
No one cares about the colour of your skin or your sexuality.
We care about whether you're capable of doing the job.
And you're not.
You're clearly not.
And what does it say about you and your capability when you're, you know, all three of you talking about the color of your skin and yet the country's on fire.
You know, you're actually making the people that you represent look bad as if your race isn't capable.
I mean, that's a terrible representation of black people.
There are plenty of intelligent, really strong of character black people out there.
Those three clearly aren't one of them.
You know, so it's just...
I mean, this is about the demoralisation of society, Martin.
I recently had a very good conversation with someone that spoke to me, that explained...
I think I think I think I think So it's very, very interesting.
You know, I watch from the perspective of orchestrated.
I mean, I analyze through the perspective of everything is orchestrated towards the Great Reset.
You analyze from the perspective of opportunity.
I want to talk to you about this.
I mean, them taking the opportunity of what's happening around them.
I want to talk to you about this, no such thing as random walks in markets or economics.
Can you just talk people through this?
And for anyone who isn't a subscriber, I would encourage you to subscribe because Martin offers some amazing insight.
He does regular blog posts and I thoroughly enjoy reading his emails when they come out.
So talk to us about what this means, no random walks in markets or economics.
Effectively, that was a theory that somebody came up with because they didn't understand that there was a business cycle and how it worked.
I mean...
I learned very early in school.
I would go to economics class and they say, oh, the business cycle yet exists, but it's random.
And because as long as it's random, then they can manipulate it.
All right.
Then you went to physics class and they said nothing's random.
And I just came to the conclusion one of you guys are lying.
And I think it was the economics professor.
All right.
And I mean, we've had an amazing track record of And that would not be possible if there was not some order to all of this.
And I put in that post about Edward Lorenz who put in all the weather data into a computer and out came an amazing pattern.
We have to understand that We get caught up sometimes in all the minutiae that's going on.
And it looks like chaos to us.
All right?
I mean, our computer picked March 6th for the high.
It picked Friday.
It said we're going to have a panic.
All a month in advance.
I even had RT from Russia call me because we had put out a post in, I think it was April of 2013, and said, you know, Ukraine is going to be the place where the war starts a year in advance.
How can we do that if there is not order?
All right?
The computer is able to pick these things up.
And there's a cycle to everything.
And, look, picking even the panic for SVB a month in advance to the day shows there has to be something.
This is not my personal opinion.
So, there is a very fine order to all of this.
And that's really what 2032 is about.
We are reaching this to the end, and there's been over 30 civilizations that have all collapsed before us.
This is just our turn.
Unfortunately, there was ancient fake news written by Cicero, who was one of the oligarchs.
And the founding fathers of the United States, they thought that was real.
And so they thought, oh, Caesar was this dictator.
Well, dictator was an office of dictator for one year.
Cincinnati basically took that and saved.
And this is what they did.
That was part of their political structure.
And You know, so, you know, they demonized Julius Caesar the same way they're demonizing, you know, they demonized Trump, they demonized Putin, Saddam Hussein, you name it.
If you want to overthrow somebody, always demonize him.
Yes.
That's just standard operational procedure.
So, unfortunately, the founding fathers believed Cicero and They set up a republic, and a republic is one of the most corrupt possible forms of government because we're not represented.
Our representatives take bribes from just about everybody under the sun.
So hopefully that's why I said we're going to get maybe to a real democracy that I would like to see that we should vote.
I mean, I remember growing up when people, you know, people getting voted, you know, we didn't have a right to vote, but you could get and you couldn't even drink, but you could be drafted to go die in Vietnam.
You know, and it was like, you know, we can't vote.
We can't even have a drink, but we can die.
You know, that was basically it.
And you're back to that again.
I mean, they can create this war in Ukraine.
All right.
And we have no right to say yes or no.
We're just supposed to get in line, get over there and die.
That's it.
It's absolutely unbelievable.
It really is.
But what you're describing right now, Martin, is a real opportunity.
And I see where you're coming from.
It has to come to an end because we can't go on like this.
There's no way that this current system can survive how it is.
But this presents an amazing opportunity for all of the people who are on the right side who want the right way for the world to be.
You know, where we're not mutilating children in the name of healthcare, where we're not going to war...
To build Ukraine as the first New World Order country of the world.
That's what the Ukraine 24 campaign is about.
We've exposed that on this show and on Zero Time.
Where the people actually have a say and actually have a right to be heard and Censorship doesn't exist and all of this sort of stuff.
This is the world that we can build and one where there is honesty in economics.
So I think that you're absolutely right.
It's going to end.
Now it's time for the people on the right side to continue to push for the truth to come out and work on building a better world moving forward.
But I think the problem that we're in is that there's so much insecurity.
We can see the collapse around us.
People don't know what banks to go to, you know.
I mean, because finances are such a big part of this.
You need finances to be able to fight information war, for example.
You have to have money to do that.
So people aren't sure.
And what the media is presenting, what we're seeing is this...
I think orchestrated collapse of the smaller banks to push everyone into the big banks, which will be CBDC or nothing else.
So it pushes you to use digital currency.
People don't know where they're safe.
So first and foremost, are there banks that are safe so that people can feel secure while they fight the information war and work on building a better society?
That was a really long-winded way of asking you that question, but I hope I make sense.
Yes, I mean, it's hard to say because just about every bank is in the same problem on the long-term side.
This is why also you see why real estate has been going up, antique coins, Precious metals may have been flat for a long time, but they're not collapsing.
So people are using that also as an alternative to get some money off the grid so that effectively they can survive when this does happen.
Signature Bank was big into the cryptocurrencies.
I mean...
I still think that, you know, things like Bitcoin was really orchestrated by the CIA to get people into this cryptocurrency idea.
If it came from the government, they would have distrusted it.
If it comes from some Japanese guy, nobody's been able to identify.
Oh, okay.
It's a hedge against the central banks.
That sounds good.
I mean, they're just going to really, you know, it's The government wants their digital currency, and that's where we're going.
And so if you're going to hire this 16-year-old girl next door to watch the kids as you go out to dinner, where's the 50% that she just earned?
This is what it all comes down to.
And for 30 years, all I've ever heard is they wouldn't have a problem if we all paid our taxes.
And I said, you know, I don't care how much you get people to pay the taxes.
You always spend more.
Yes.
They don't know how to run for office.
It's become very Marxist in a way.
Vote for me and I'll give you this, that and the other thing.
It's all bribery.
You know, it's not like, vote for me because I have my qualifications to be a fiscal manager is better than the other guy.
We don't hear that.
It's like, vote for me and I'll give you this and I'll give you that or whatever.
I mean, it's just complete nonsense.
I mean, even in here in Florida, I had one politician stand up and, oh, vote for me and I'll stop red tide, which, you know, is an algae in the ocean.
And I said, oh, really?
You know, and so, oh, it's all farmers and stuff.
All you had to do was Google it.
And the first one recorded was 1842 by the Spanish.
I think a long time before farmers and chemicals, you know.
But, you know, this is what they do.
They just have to demonize somebody and then say, vote for me and this is what I'll do.
And most of it's nonsense.
Yes.
It's like watching a high school drama.
It's nothing about...
And I mean, even going...
I mean, I understand there's a little bit of, you know, exposing perhaps your opposition's inadequacies as far as their qualifications or saying my experience is better because of X, Y, Z. But these guys are firing low shots.
I mean, it's not even...
Something to be proud of or something that you would think, oh yeah, that's a really good point.
And I think it's reflective of the fact that there's such a moral degradation in society where people don't have strong values in the right things anymore, Martin.
They dye their hair pink and say that you hurt their feelings.
And they don't have strong character.
They don't have backbone.
They don't have good morals.
And so when this stuff is going on, it doesn't really bother them so much because they're not willing to fight for anything.
And this is really the result of years and years and years of mind manipulation through media and what we watch on TV and...
People really need to rise above that and realize they've been played.
I want to just sort of ask you about precious metals because you've said the metals are not manipulated.
Some people think that they've been playing with the value of precious metal.
We've seen that gold is rising right now as we speak.
I guess for me, I'm very much...
You know, you're talking about moving some of the money off grid.
That's really diversifying your wealth.
And I see investing in off the grid as in even outside of the financial system with precious metals for a parallel economy.
I see that as investment and protecting myself against whatever they do with the main system.
So talk to us about the manipulation of precious metals.
Does it exist?
No.
You know, what I wrote about was that, I mean, I've been a trader for a long time, and yeah, the locals always gone for the stops back and forth.
That's during the day, okay?
Can they change the trend?
Absolutely no.
Because if you raised it, if you actually manipulated it and pushed it down in one direction, people in other countries will arbitrage it.
I mean, that's what happened to the Silver Democrats.
They raised the price of silver to 16 to 1 during the 19th century because they wanted to overvalue it.
And they thought they could manipulate the world.
And the world said, thank you very much.
Here's all the silver at that rate.
And they left with the gold.
That's why JP Morgan had to bail out the US Treasury.
There's international arbitrage between all of these markets.
And so you can't really change the long term trend.
And you just end up with a period of time where these, you know, economies or markets or whatever will be undervalued for a long period.
And then somebody will suddenly notice it, and then boom, it will just explode.
In the 80s, I mean, I was advising most of the Takeover guys.
I mean, even Alan Bond down there used a lot of the money to create Bond University, etc.
I basically showed, look, if you can buy a company, sell its assets, and triple your money, I don't think the market is overvalued.
All right?
And so, all of a sudden, when people began to look at it from that way, you got, you know, the Dow just completely exploded.
Right?
And, you know, people didn't understand it.
But, you know, the stock market was grossly undervalued after basically, you know, 20-some years of just, oh, government AAA bond nonsense.
Gold is the same thing.
You'll notice that it immediately rallied sharply with this bank crisis.
That's showing you its character.
That's what I mean.
Gold will rise, not with inflation, but when you undermine the confidence in the system.
That's when gold rises dramatically.
From 1976, gold was at $100.
It got up to $400 by December of 1979.
Russia went into Afghanistan.
It went from $400 to $875 in six weeks.
These things are not orderly, straight, linear progressions.
Markets don't work that way.
Suddenly, it explodes.
And that's what you will eventually see in the precious metals.
Yes, they will end up going up dramatically.
But you're talking about when things like this begin to shake people's confidence in the entire system.
And that's what I was screaming all weekend about.
You people don't understand what you're doing.
You're going to create a depression that makes the Great Depression look like child's play.
You know, because everything is interconnected right now.
Yes.
So, you know, Credit Suisse goes down.
It will affect banks in New York.
All right?
That was not necessarily the case in the 1930s.
So it's a completely different situation.
You know, the FDIC, you know, insurance.
Okay, fine.
That was adequate when we were just talking about a domestic economy back then.
Today, everything is so interconnected.
70% of the business is employment is in small businesses.
Back then, 40% of the people were farmers.
So, you know, economies change.
They mature and grow just like a child does.
And over time, and we, you know, people have to look at what's really taking place here.
And the systemic risk today is far greater than it was in the 30s.
On a global scale, because we're all connected.
You just said yourself, you know, Australia is involved in Ukraine.
Everybody's involved in Ukraine.
This is the globalization, so to speak.
And even that, you had Biden put the sanctions on in Russia, which was absolutely devastating.
Not so much from Russia, but from our own economic health.
Because once you removed Russia from the SWIFT system, China went into full-blown for its chip system.
You've now divided the world economy.
Globalization was critical where we all settled trades through SWIFT. Now that doesn't take place anymore.
So you've already divided the world economy from that perspective.
So we're not going back.
This is all part of the unraveling of the system.
When Russia went into Crimea in 2014, Obama went to SWIFT and asked him to remove it, and SWIFT said no, that would undermine the system.
So what did they do?
They removed that head of SWIFT, and a new guy came in in 2019, and oh, okay, whatever you want to do, no problem.
It's, you know, honestly, I just, I don't, I don't know what to say anymore because it's so incompetent of what I've been looking at on a global scale.
It's mind-boggling.
What I'm hearing, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that the system collapse, the system as we know it, the financial system, everything is guaranteed To collapse, because it cannot go on like this.
The point is, how do we come out of it?
Do we come out of it via the Great Reset model, or do we come out of it via the model where the people that actually want what's best for the world rise up above these people that seek to destroy it?
This is the point that we're at.
Well, our computer basically shows that the next round should be towards our direction.
Look, Schwab Schwab has probably been, a lot of people basically think that he's just been copying me for decades.
I used to do seminars around for our clients.
We'd go to Toronto and then down in Australia, etc.
And our clients said, gee, why don't you have one big one?
I said, okay, that's an idea.
So we had our first World Economic Conference in 1985.
And people came in from all around the world.
So it was kind of like a UN type thing, you know?
He started his Davos two years later.
Marcus Vedder did the movie on me, The Forecaster.
He went to him and paid him to do a movie, The Forum, on him two years later.
You told me about this.
It's pretty pathetic, actually.
It is.
And his great reset is R2032. When Nigel Farage came to speak at our conference in Rome, they said, gee, how come you're here?
He says, of course I'm here.
He says, Marty's the alternative to Davos.
I mean, this is just the way it's been.
We've been in this, I don't know, civil war between the two of us for a long time.
And some people basically say the Great Resetter is really just me making that famous because he just copied it.
You know, I don't know.
Yes, but what you're talking about, Martin, you know, is an honest position of the fact that it can't go on like this, but it needs to be better.
It's not the plan where, you know, they starve us, they make us poor, they make us totally reliant on government.
We're talking about people actually prospering.
Yes.
People actually voting the right people in.
And I still believe we have a chance to do that, because unlike the agenda with the injections, unlike the agenda with some of the other topics that are difficult to penetrate through the minds of the brainwashed, money talks.
And we may not agree on COVID-19 injections, but we We agree that we all need money to live and we should have the right to prosper and build wealth if we so choose and so on and so forth.
So I think most people would agree with that.
I dare say even the climate zealots wouldn't be for the government having control of every single dollar they have.
So this is one particular point of the plan of the Great Reset that we can really target what the globalists are trying to do and get more people on site.
I think we have a great opportunity here.
Martin, thank you so much again.
Martin from armstrongeconomics.com.
You can also find him on Facebook and Twitter.
And I encourage everyone to subscribe.
Thank you so much for your time, Martin.
We really appreciate all of your insight.
Well, it's always a pleasure.
And Every single expert that I talk to says the same thing, regardless of whether they're an economist, a war correspondent, a media broadcaster, a doctor, a politician, it doesn't matter.
People from all walks of life are in agreement that we must prepare for what is coming because we will survive.
But the only way we can be prepared for what is coming is if we actually prepare physically, not just in here.
But physically prepare so that we can actually help one another when the time comes.
We have bred such an individualistic society, one where people only care about themselves, and that is on purpose.
That has been orchestrated all these years.
So that when the time comes for the collapse of everything as we know it...
People will not be in the mentality that we have to go back to a community style of living in order to help one another from what is coming.
So we have to shift that thinking.
As a world community, we have to shift that thinking to what can I do now, number one, first and foremost, to help prepare me and my family and help those around me.
And if every single person does that, And builds those strong community relationships at a local level, online groups, things like that.
We will thrive.
We will be able to sustain ourselves as we fight this war.
Peacefully, lawfully.
Disclaimer for the feds watching.
Community groups, growing your own food, fighting at a local level and having money outside of the system is essential for our survival.
Essential!
This is why Z Media is so selective about who we partner with.
I've said this openly before, but I'll say it again.
I've turned away sponsors.
More than once.
At my financial detriment.
But so be it.
If I don't see a benefit for the people in winning this war, I won't do it.
The businesses that I promote on my broadcasts are there for a reason.
Yes, they support the truth to keep going.
That's so important.
Because without them, you wouldn't be watching something that's helping you prepare to make sure you're not caught up in what the globalists are trying to orchestrate, like the millions of people out there that are just trusting the MSM. But these businesses also care about humanity.
They care about our survival, our prosperity and they care about winning this war.
I've prepared so much for me.
I've helped my family, my friends and I believe that the things that I stand by are also helping many others.
So when I do these talks right at the end of every broadcast It's not just giving airtime to the wonderful businesses that support us, although I am happy to do that because they deserve it.
It's also about telling you that you need to do this.
If you want to be empowered, if you want to be prepared and make sure that we win this war, there are certain things that you must be ready for.
Those things include food shortages, those things include cyber attacks, power outages, all of the things that they will do to keep the public in a state of fear, in a state of reliance on the system, on the government, on the machine.
But I'm telling you now, if we can successfully operate outside of their system and teach the masses to do the same as they watch everything crashing and burning around them, we will win.
We will win because then, as I said to Martin, okay, we may not agree on vaccines, injections.
We may not agree on Ukraine, but the one thing we will agree on is that people have the right To survive, thrive, provide for their families, no matter what their political stance is.
Everyone would agree with that.
Because no one wants to be in a position where they can't feed their kids and they have to depend on the state to do it.
That is poverty.
That is slavery.
So if they see us thriving, we will have more joining our way of thinking.
And before you know it, people will understand that those coordinating, pulling the strings in the world to make it go a certain way are against them.
And they will turn against the machine and work with us towards a better world.
I believe this so wholeheartedly.
I really do.
If you're in the United States, head to Heaven's Harvest today.
Don't wait.
They have really, really high quality emergency food, heirloom seeds, water filtration and storage.
I'm doing this myself.
I've got heirloom seeds.
These guys don't ship to Australia, so I've done it with an Australian supply, but I've got heirloom seeds.
You know, I'm growing my own stuff.
I'm tending to my own food supply and I'm learning.
This stuff's never come naturally to me.
I've never grown my own food.
I've been a city girl.
But I'm learning.
We have to learn to be self-sufficient.
The other thing Michael Yon mentioned to me recently was the importance of knowing where your water comes from and having clean water.
So Heaven's Harvest also do water storage and they do water filtration, something that's so crucial because if our water supply is ever cut, We will have a backup option.
Survival Supplies Australia also does this.
If you're in Australia, head to their store.
The link's in the description below.
They have the largest range of anything that you would need to prepare.
I recently, even though I have prepared, recently just did another purchase through them and got more survival food, more water.
I don't want to be unprepared.
And if I have too much, so be it.
I'll help my neighbours.
They've also got grab-and-go bags, first aid medical supplies, camping food, emergency long-life food, long-life water.
This stuff lasts 20 years.
It's amazing.
They have an 18-litre pack.
I recommend everyone has a look at it.
Alternative communication is key, okay?
If the grid goes down, if cell phones are down and you need to be able to contact your loved ones, sat123.com forward slash Maria.
They've got a special promotion on this month where you are saving a considerable amount of money if you visit through our link.
They've created a couple of really good bundles for people.
This device right here, the Bivy, it's amazing.
You can send emergency messages to five contacts that you trust.
You don't have to have your location services on, but if you want them on, it can save your life.
These phones are used by the military, the Iridium is.
The MSAT's a more cost-effective option, but if you want the best of the best, the Iridium's the one to go with.
So please do have a look at their range.
They've also got A Nokia that is not linked to any telecommunications networks.
So this is a way to have It'll just be through their satellites which are encrypted.
All of their stuff is encrypted and we really, really trust them and we really love them.
They're really good people at Satellite Phone Store.
I recently did an interview with them and Galileo so do check that out.
And if you're in Australia, this is what I really, really want to hammer home today.
You heard Martin.
You heard him talking about the fact that diversifying wealth, particularly through precious metals which cannot be manipulated, Is so crucial.
And we will be able to set up a parallel economy with a bartering system and currency and everything that we need.
Like I've mentioned before, Venezuela using gold shavings to pay for haircuts, but we could be heading for that.
So whatever amounts you have, gold is going up right now.
I've been telling people, buy gold, buy gold, buy gold.
Consider, you know, I'm not giving financial advice, but I know where this is heading.
And gold, especially now, has just shot up because of everything that's happening with the banks.
And when I asked Peter Hobson from GBA Group, when is it too late?
Well, he said, I'd rather be a year early than a day late.
And he's right.
He's right.
So before it goes up anymore, visit GoldBully and Australia Group or GoldStackers.
Talk to them.
Give them a call.
They've got a new store in Sydney.
We did an interview with Peter Hobson where we showcased the store.
They are a fantastic, fantastic group of people.
And every single person that we've spoken to really has had an amazing experience with them.
They just sing their praises.
And I don't blame them.
We've chosen them for a reason.
So you've got Gold Co.
in the United States, Gold Bullion Australia Group for Australia.
Do think about this seriously.
Give them a call.
Both numbers, the website is in the description below for both.
You've also got the number that came up on the screen before for Gold Co.
And, you know, just talk to them.
Just give them a call and talk to them.
Of course, always seek independent financial advice before making any decisions, but I am a big believer in this.
I've done it myself more than once.
And, you know, I don't have exorbitant amounts of funds, but whatever small amounts I have, particularly in Australia, because under five grand is not tracked, you know, it's a really good option to at least get something that we can trade in when this all goes well.
And it will.
It will.
Prepare now and thrive later.
That is, I think, my new motto.
Prepare now, thrive later.
Thank you all so much for tuning in today.
Please share this everywhere.
Give this video a like.
Support the Stu Peters Network.
Support Z Media.
Support all of the people that are willing to tell you the truth and won't hide the reality of the world that we're living in from you.
Because this is the way that we will win.
God bless you all.
