December 26th, 2025 | Japan & the Future

Armstrong Economics - QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I understand the previous Japanese government did to you with the letter asking to confirm $10 billion when it was $1 billion and they never explained how they could make such a mistake. Here in Japan, we are still struggling as you had warned would be the case with the collapse of the […]

December 25th, 2025 | Merry Christmas!

Armstrong Economics -   Merry Christmas to everyone around the world. Christmas is a reminder that history does not move in straight lines. It moves in cycles. Every civilization has faced moments where confidence was tested, institutions were stretched beyond their limits, and the public was told to trust systems that were clearly no longer working as intended. […]

Armstrong Economics -     The Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act was designed to help children with cancer receive life-saving treatment and participate in clinical trials with minimal red tape. The House of Representatives approved the bill unanimously earlier this month. Allowing children with childhood cancer to access treatment should have been a bipartisan no-brainer. Yet, […]

Armstrong Economics -   Fentanyl has been classified as a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) after it claimed the lives of 57,000 Americans in 2025. The order directs the Attorney General, Defense, Homeland Security, State, and Treasury to treat illicit fentanyl networks as national‑security targets. The Secretary of War must update military guidelines on “chemical” incidents to include […]

December 21st, 2025 | The EU is Out of Control

Armstrong Economics - European leaders were forced to back down on stealing the Russian assets, and have agreed to keep Ukraine funded for two years with a loan of 90 billion euros, or about $105 billion. There is growing discontent within the EU, for a few countries I speak to are starting to realize that the EU is […]

Armstrong Economics - The corruption in the Pharmaceutical Industry is no different from the Financial Industry. They pay big finds giving regulators gold stars for racking in the money, but nobody goes to jail – that is not profitable because they can’t get billions in fines from individuals. Until people who deliberately make decisions that destroy industries or […]

Armstrong Economics - Government spending per person in the United States has soared nearly 10,000 percent over the last century, as reported by the Federalist. The number is staggering, but the true question isn’t how much has been spent but what was bought and why the US government needs to spend at such a level. Woodrow Wilson secured […]

December 18th, 2025 | Copper Hoarding

Armstrong Economics -   Copper prices are near record highs with spot prices above $11,000 per ton. Grid expansion projects and data centers are copper-intensive, The supply chain in constrained and investors are anticipating future US tariffs reaching 25%. The press is claiming that these projects are the reason for the recent surge in copper hoarding, but the […]

Armstrong Economics - Christine Lagarde is now warning that Europe faces an “existential crisis” unless urgent reforms are enacted. What she is really admitting is that Europe has reached the end of the centralized model. These are 28 independent nations that were never intended to operate as a single homogeneous culture or economy. Europe’s problem is not monetary […]

Armstrong Economics -     Mass migration through open border policies is inhumane. I may often focus on the economic implications, but it is crucial to understand how these policies have destroyed the very people they claim to protect. Thousands of men, women, and children have died in their attempt to reach the West. Unaccompanied minors have gone […]

Armstrong Economics - Porsche owners across Russia were unable to start their vehicles without warning. The German automaker claimed the sudden immobilization was due to an issue with the Vehicle Tracking System, a satellite security feature intended to protect against auto theft. In reality, Porsche admitted to the world that automakers have the ability to control modernized cars […]

December 14th, 2025 | EU Not Included in New G5

Armstrong Economics - REPLY: Of course, I am use to being blamed for everything. The EU is the enemy because it is imploding economically. They reject peace because they need war as a distraction. Kill the messenger as always. Zelensky is pushing the EU off a cliff – not me. This is why the EU is becoming so […]

December 13th, 2025 | The COVIDIOT

Armstrong Economics -   The latest agreement between the European Union and Canada to collaborate on mutually recognized digital IDs is simply another step in what I have been warning about for years. Whenever government confidence collapses, the political class tightens control. Digital ID is not about convenience; it is about tracking capital and controlling movement as the […]

Armstrong Economics -   The Federal Reserve was divided this December; hawkish members of the FOMC were outnumbered, and the central bank approved its third consecutive cut of 2025. “We’re in the high end of the range of neutral,” Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell added. “It″s so happened that we’ve cut three times. We have we haven’t made […]

December 10th, 2025 | Trump Preparing to Exit NATO?

Armstrong Economics -   President Trump released the 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) of the US, released by the White House on December 4th, 2025, marks a potentially profound shift in US foreign policy. He has criticized Europe and insisted on ending the perception and preventing the reality, of NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance.  This 33-page document […]

Armstrong Economics - (Minnesota state flag)   COMMENT: Marty, After reading the stories you’ve shared about people not being able to almost anything of value onto planes without a real risk of confiscation, the Alpha News video where a TSA agent claims to have observed multiple suitcases of cash muled out of the country by Somali men makes […]

Armstrong Economics - The Canadian military had been contracting in recent years, but new recruitment incentives have changed the course. There is no better time to recruit fresh blood than when the economy turns down. An October 2025 Auditor General’s report found that the Canadian military was not attracting enough applicants to meet quotas. Prime Minister Mark Carney […]

Armstrong Economics - European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde steps in every time a government attempts to implement monetary policy. The centralized power now has the final say, sorry, but sovereignty is not an option for European Union members. Italy proposed declaring gold an asset of the people, but Lagarde has found a way to prevent that from […]

Armstrong Economics -   COMMENT: This is what Carney is doing to Canada. He is following Stammer, and civil rights are all gone. This man is found in breach of a judge’s order for refusing to write a court-ordered apology letter to library manager Shannon Slater for “hurting her feelings.” Anonymous   REPLY: Any government that is in […]

Armstrong Economics -   Import the third world, become the third world—no exceptions. Donald Trump has permanently halted migration from 19 third-world nations after a recent shooting of National Guard members. The left calls the ban racist, but logic deems it an economic necessity. The US Census tracked the foreign-born population at 53 million, but the actual number […]

Armstrong Economics - Vinay Prasad, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), sent out an internal email to the Food and Drug Administration featuring “a profound revelation”—the COVID-19 vaccine is responsible for the deaths of a minimum of 10 American children. “In many cases, such mandates were harmful,” Prasad wrote. “It is difficult to […]

Armstrong Economics - Russian President Vladimir Putin is not interested in another proxy war. The Association of Tour Operators of Russia confirmed that the government is sending flights to Venezuela to remove nationals immediately.
