BlackRock Merz: "Germany is Back!" Yes, in the 1930s | Alex Krainer

On Friday, March 14, 2025, Germany's soon-to-be Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, reached a deal with the Green Party to secure a massive infrastructure and defense spending bill. "Germany's back!" said jubilant Merz. "Germany is making its great contribution to the defense of freedom and peace in Europe." The deal will exempt defense spending from the constitutional debt brake and create a €500 billion fund to finance projects outside of the normal budgetary spending. Among other things, this will enable Germany to boost aid to Ukraine.

» The EU is driving to rearm Europe and hijack ten trillion euros of European savings to militarize the old continent. «

 Full disclosure: The moustache of BlackRock Merz is not real - it was skillfully photoshopped.

Today, the Bundestag will vote on constitutional amendments that could remove fiscal restraints and unleash a massive boost to military spending, which could ultimately reach up to €1.7 trillion. How much money is that? It's a cool €20,400 per man, woman, and child in Germany. Germany is back, indeed, but not exactly in a way anyone hoped for.

It's the 1930s all over again, and it's not just Germany. In France, Emmanuel Macron too is looking to boost the military-industrial complex, along with France's nuclear arsenal and future hypersonic missiles. Across the channel, Sir Keir is obsessing about conscriptions, scotching up "coalitions of the willing," and sending British troops to Ukraine. The EU is driving to rearm Europe and hijack ten trillion euros of European savings to militarize the old continent.

 » For the naturally cautious German nation to become a bunch of cannibals, 

it first had to sink into the economic misery and moral oppression of the 1920s. «

 Timofey Bordachev, 2024.

[...] The cost of this bonanza might come in the guise of early death for their children, who'll be forced to fight our future wars as, to paraphrase Herr Merz, they make their "great contribution to the defense of freedom and peace in Europe." Of course, we can trust the slogans; Merz is a BlackRock man, and all he wants is what’s best for all of us, without regard to the many billions BlackRock invested in Ukraine. It’s not about money, you see, it’s about freedom and peace.

After all, when was the blood of innocents spilled for anything less than such lofty goals like civilization, enlightenment, progress, democracy, freedom, and peace? The fact that the whole juggernaut always turns out to be so profitable for all the usual suspects must be one of those mystery virtuous cycles of civilizational progress. They mobilize capital to defend peace and freedom, and then they make out like bandits every time!

Europe's Date with Destiny: Collapse by 2029 is Inevitable | Martin Armstrong

Comment by Hans: Mr. Armstrong, thank you for speaking the truth about the timeline of this war with Ukraine. Every news story here in Europe says the same thing. Russia was unprovoked. Never in my entire life have I ever witnessed such outright lies by the press. I do not see the Europeans rising up to overthrow these governments. We are sheep being led to the slaughter. You have forecasted that the euro will no longer exist, and they are rapidly moving to digital currencies, which will be, as you say, for capital control. We will not be able to leave or get our money out. [...] I think it is time to prepare for the future sooner than later.

» From about May 15th 2025 on, Europe is going into war, 

Europe will lose, and the Euro will become extinct. «
Martin Armstrong, March 1, 2025.

Reply by Martin Armstrong: It gives me no pleasure to live through Socrates’ forecasts [...] The euro has broken last year’s low and is still trading below it. We have a very serious Panic Cycle for Europe next year [2026], and they are pushing to cancel the currency’s move to digital as soon as possible. All they look at is capital controls, which will prevent bank runs and stop capital fleeing. They are trying to control their risk of the collapse of the EU. [...] Lagarde runs the ECB, pushing for the cancellation of the currency and moving to digital [by October 2025]. This is about taxes all over again.
 

» We are witnessing capital contracting in both the United States and Europe. «

Martin Armstrong, March 17, 2025.

[...] I have been warning that we are approaching World War III as a distraction from the collapse of sovereign debt in Japan and Europe. The total outstanding government and corporate bonds globally have now exceeded $100 trillion in 2024, as reported by the OECD. As I have also been warning, the central banks have been neutered. They can no longer fight inflation by raising interest rates because government debt just explodes. Governments have NO INTENTION of ever paying off their debt. They think there is no end to this game.

 » We are approaching World War III as a distraction from the collapse of sovereign debt in Japan and Europe.

Germany is heading into a very serious debt crisis for 2026. PANIC Cycles in 2026 around the globe. 

Major recession globally into 2028. EU prepares for war as a distraction from their inevitable collapse by 2029. «

[...] While central banks are cutting interest rates, borrowing costs remain much higher than before 2022’s rate hikes because the ECM, in particular, went to negative interest rates in 2014, which only encouraged governments to issue more debt. This all comes at a time when the EU wants to fund an army and prepare for war as a distraction from their inevitable collapse by 2029.

» Macron and Starmer are insane. Putin can detonate a 100-megaton nuke and the tidal wave

will wipe out Britain entirely. The Computer Has NEVER been Wrong. Europe Will Lose!!! «

Martin Armstrong, March 21, 2025.

 

[...] Germany is heading into a very serious debt crisis for 2026, and this does not bode well for Europe or the Euro. Nearly HALF of ALL outstanding government debt among OECD countries and emerging markets and around ONE THIRD of corporate debt will mature by 2027. Our computer is showing PANIC Cycles in 2026 around the globe. The defaults come when you cannot sell the NEW debt to pay off the old. [...] Everything is coming to the point of a major Sovereign Debt default that the government will not survive. [...] Add the trade wars and what our model shows a major recession globally into 2028; it is hard to see how many countries can even make it to 2029.

United Kingdom Configured for Civil War Within the Next 5 Years | David Betz

At first glance, the distant and telegenic United Kingdom may appear to most outsiders as one of the least likely countries to experience widespread civil unrest, typical of failed regimes. However, years of uncontrolled large-scale immigration, multiculturalism, economic decline and impoverishment, injustice, oppression, the COVID-19 craze, public insecurity, corruption, enforced wokeness, media indoctrination, permanent war-and-terror hysteria, a surveillance state, and individual intimidation and submission have led to widespread and stark religious, educational, moral, and ethical degeneracy across all social realms, Zionist and Wahhabi-Salafi-controlled extremism, as well as nearly omnipresent discontent and tension. As a result, the failed UK regime now seems to be on the brink of precisely that.
 

Professor David J. Betz, a top academic and government advisor, expects that the UK will experience a civil war within the next five years, caused by the "destruction of legitimacy" brought about by the government's failure to secure the border. Betz made these claims during a remarkable, profound, and shockingly plausible podcast appearance with journalist and author Louise Perry.

 

» This is worse for Europe than bombs falling out of the sky. The enemies
of Europe know this, which is why this is their weapon of choice. « 

 

Betz is neither alarmist nor sensationalistic. He has been researching and teaching at the Department of War Studies at King's College London for the past 25 years, focusing on the evolution of insurgency and counterinsurgency, information warfare and cyberwar, propaganda, civil-military relations, hybrid warfare, and grand military strategy. He has worked with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), in addition to being a contributor to the current British counter insurgency doctrine (COIN) and a Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI). Professor Betz describes himself as a “classic member of the establishment” and explained Perry in concrete detail why and how British society is now "explosively configured" to experience mass unrest, critical infrastructure sabotage, and subsequent total breakdowns in institutions, society, economy, logistics, and law, along with excessive crime, violence, and anarchy. 

 

Now, what could and should be done to prevent all of this—power outages, burning cities, destroyed communication infrastructure, gang violence, looting, population displacement, famine, epidemics, and more? The UK is beyond repair; it's too late, and nothing and no one can stop this from happening, concludes Betz. When from London, Manchester, Birmingham, and similar places, you may already have some experience, but might want to learn additional valuable lessons from recent examples like Aleppo, Benghazi, Caracas, Mogadishu, Lagos, or Port-au-Prince. Have a solid community, family, and friends, be prepared with food, water, cash, skills, and more, and try to mitigate the impending damage and consequences, Betz recommends.

 

 » Caused by the destruction of legitimacy. «

 Between 1997 and 2013 in Rotherham 1,400 girls were sexually abused by Pakistani grooming gangs. 

And by 2020, a Home Office investigation report finds no links between ethnicity and child sexual abuse.

He said the fallout began with the fracture of the social contract after the political establishment in the UK tried to subvert the Brexit vote. Subsequent years have brought about a “destruction of legitimacy” as a result of successive governments’ open border policy and their inability to protect children and citizens from grooming gangs and rampant violence, in addition to a two-tier justice system presided over by a highly-politicized judiciary defending globalism, wokism, and illegal mass immigration. 

 

Given the situation today, this British scenario may apply, in one form or another, to most Western European countries, Canada, and possibly the US.

Prepping Serbia Again as the Epicenter of the Next European War?

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán referenced the chaotic events in the Serbian parliament on March 4, 2025, where opposition lawmakers used smoke grenades and tear gas to protest government policies, reflecting broader regional tensions. Orbán stated that this incident is part of a larger struggle against "globalist-liberal forces."

» Destabilisation efforts have intensified. «

Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary, Feburary 4, 2025. 

Destabilization, chaos, violence, and the regime change attempt in Serbia are fueled again by the usual suspects (NATO, CIA-USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy, Soros' Open Society Foundation, Chatham House, MI6, Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure, EU Commission) and their usual useful idiots (Western-financed NGOs, liberal academia, students, foreign celebrities and artists — the We-Stand-With-Ukraine crowd — Western fake news media propaganda).

 

 

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić labelled the scenes "hooliganism",

and said he was "looking for responsibility, and criminal law" to be applied.

Serbia, Slovakia, and Hungary have resisted the globalist agenda in Europe—and now they’re being punished. NATO-backed forces and Brussels aim to overthrow the democratically elected governments of Aleksandar Vučić, the President of Serbia; Viktor Orbán, the Prime Minister of Hungary; and Robert Fico, the Prime Minister of Slovakia, who refuse to bend the knee to the West and cut relations with Russia. Since mid-2024, tactics of chaos, division, and unrest have drastically intensified in an effort to undermine sovereignty from within.

Touring the Destroyed Suburbs of Beirut | Laith Marouf & Mohammad Marandi

Dahieh, Beirut, Lebanon — October 3, 2024: Hezbollah's Media Relations Office organized a tour of Beirut's southern suburb, Dahieh, for all international journalists to give the world a glimpse of the mass destruction of civilian infrastructure as a result of the Zionist regime's indiscriminate bombardment of the area. We look at the destruction, the war crimes, and the purposeful targeting of civilians and civilian homes. The day after the first strikes, the Israelis targeted the south and east of Beirut and slaughtered 500 people. It's amazing how barbaric and brutal these people are. This is Western civilization. People across the world despise the West because of what they do.

They knew exactly that there were no military targets in these buildings. They wanted to humiliate our people and break our will, especially our warrior men. But Sayyidna Ali says: 'Hayhat aminna dulla; woe to us if we accept humiliation.' God willing, we will all meet in a free Palestine very soon. I am optimistic. Victory is nearing—a victory also for Jews. Those who are anti-Zionists will see the benefits of the collapse of the Zionist regime. Humanity will benefit from it. These elites in the West will lose, but everyone else will win. Inshallah.

A few hours ago, the leader of France, Macron, issued a statement saying that France is deploying all its military assets in the region to defend the Zionist colony. Brits and Americans are practically saying the same thing, indicating that these colonial powers, will actually participate in attacks on Iran.

Putin wants Ukraine Ceasefire on Current Frontlines | Reuters

MOSCOW / LONDON, May 24, 2024 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to halt the war in Ukraine with a negotiated ceasefire that recognises the current battlefield lines, four Russian sources told Reuters, saying he is prepared to fight on if Kyiv and the West do not respond.

 PUTIN READY TO STOP WAR FOR NEGOTIATED CEASEFIRE RECOGNIZING CURRENT FRONTLINES - 

two presstitutes at Reuters are claiming. They are citing "four anonymous Russian sources", 

and are warning Putin is ready to fight as long as it takes if West refuses.

MOSCOW, May 24, 2024

Three of the sources, familiar with discussions in Putin's entourage, said the veteran Russian leader had expressed frustration to a small group of advisers about what he views as Western-backed attempts to stymie negotiations and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's decision to rule out talks. 

 

War is diplomacy by other means. 

And it is the winner on all battlefields dictating the terms of 'peace'.

"Putin can fight for as long as it takes, but Putin is also ready for a ceasefire – to freeze the war," said another of the four, a senior Russian source who has worked with Putin and has knowledge of top  level conversations in the Kremlin.

Russia Needs to Change Its Nuclear Doctrine | Sergey Karaganov

So there is the option of our nuclear strike on Ukraine.

Sergey Karaganov: Such an option theoretically exists. But I am completely against it. People there have been deceived, but in many ways these are our people. However if we do not change our nuclear doctrine, then NATO can use nuclear weapons against Belarus, which is absolutely unacceptable to us. This is why we should quickly change our outdated, idealistic, and largely carefree doctrine regulating the use of nuclear weapons, which is based on the principles and postulates of the past. And we should also redeploy our armed forces. Some steps are already being made in this regard. Our doctrine states that we can only use nuclear weapons in the event of a mortal threat to our state and statehood.

 » Many of the Western elites lost their sense of self-preservation. Their intellectual level has fallen sharply 

– especially in Europe. The situation is somewhat better in the United States. There seem to exist remnants 

of a strategically-minded political class. But obviously they are not running the show. «
Sergey Karaganov - May 9, 2024.

But we have already deployed our nuclear weapons in Belarus. It should be used there long before such a mortal threat arises. The enemy must know that we are ready to use nuclear weapons in response to any attack on our territory, including bombing. It is up to the President to make the final decision. But we need to untie our hands. We must understand that we and all of Europe are doomed to a long war unless we clearly change our policy in this area. And we will also be doomed to exhaustion and maybe even defeat. But most importantly, the world will be doomed to the Third World War. We must eliminate this threat. This is our national mission. And secondly, this is the mission of the Russian people as the savior of humankind, which we always have been.

 

 May 9, 2024.

I understand that there will be no nuclear war with America. They love themselves too much. But anything is possible with Europe, which has completely gone off its rocker. In what order should we hit them? Poland, Germany, Great Britain, and the Czech Republic are obviously the first countries that come to mind. Well, France, too, of course.

I really would not like things to go that way. Yes, we will send them to hell. But by doing so we will pave the way for huge moral losses for ourselves. Nuclear weapons are God’s weapons. It’s a scary choice. But God punished Sodom and Gomorrah, which had got mired in madness and profligacy, with a rain of fire. I pray to God that we do not have to take such a step. But it’s about saving the country and the world. You correctly named Poland and Germany. The Baltic countries and Romania could be next. But, I repeat, God forbid!

  May 9, 2024.

 

Why Romania?

Because a large flow of military cargo goes to Ukraine through them. They have set up training centers. They host a large contingent of American troops [...] We must ultimately make sure that Europe can never threaten us again. Well, someday we will cooperate with some European countries and even be friends with them. We do not reject the best European roots in ourselves, and we will take them with us along our main road to the South and the East, to Greater Eurasia.

What about Great Britain?

It does not pose a direct military threat to us. They just habitually befoul, but that’s all.

The Kremlin's Last Warning: Will Russia Push the Button? | Martin Armstrong

Dmitry Konstantinovich Kiselyov (born 1954) is a major TV host, and his latest warning to the West is to issue an ultimatum to the UK and the US. On Russian TV, Kiselyov warned [on April 29, 2024] that if a Western power deploys soldiers on the ground in Ukraine to ‘inflict a strategic defeat on Russia,’ it will result in Armageddon. Of course, what I find stunning is how the Western press characterizes him as “Vladimir Putin’s propagandist,” and the implication of those words is that they are not a real threat. 

 

» Then the very moment would come. ‌«

RS-28 Sarmat [dubbed 'Satan II' by NATO] is Russia's most capable hypersonic thermonuclear intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). With a range of 18,000 km and traveling 27 times the speed of sound, Sarmat can extinguish any target/country/enemy anywhere on the planet within minutes with one single strike. Including the US - May 1, 2024.

The press takes NOTHING said from Russia seriously – it’s all a joke, just propaganda. [...] Kiselyov is not going to say this on national TV without the Kremlin actually delivering this warning. He said:  “If NATO countries send their troops into Ukraine in order to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, then the very moment about which Putin once said, “Why do we need the world, if there is no Russia in it?” would come.‌”

» Russia can turn the US into radioactive ash. This is not propaganda. ‌«

Dmitry Kiselyov, delivering the Kremlin's last warning - April 29, 2024. 

Russia has indeed threatened to ‘turn the US into radioactive ash’ and ‘sink Britain’ below the waves. While some NATO leaders have been more circumspect, this need for war to justify the defaulting on debt that is the real factor behind the West’s desire for war will have far greater consequences than these fake world leaders who are all hand puppets of the Neocons. Kiselyov added: “This is not propaganda.” Yet in the West, the Neocons are saying this is a bluff, and Putin will never use nukes so the West can completely destroy Russia – their hated enemy for decades, without a shot fired.

Quoted from:

Martin Armstrong (May 1, 2024) - Will Russia Push the Button?

 

» There seems to be a conspiracy in the British Isles. Why threaten boundless Russia with nuclear weapons while sitting on a small island? The island is so small that one Sarmat missile is enough to sink it once and for all. This is just one launch, and there is no England, once and for all! Another option to plunge Britain into the abyss is the Russian Poseidon. There is no way to stop this underwater drone. It has a warhead with a capacity of up to 100 megatons. The explosion of this thermonuclear torpedo off the coast of Britain will raise a giant wave up to 500 meters high. Such a squall of water is also a carrier of extreme doses of radiation. Passing over the British Isles, it will turn what may be left of them into a radioactive desert. ‌«
