August 7th, 2025 | US Treasury to Print $500 Bills?
Armstrong Economics - Rumors are circulating that the United States may begin to print $500 bills. The US Bureau of Engraving and Printing began printing $500 bills in 1861 until 1945, formally discontinuing them in 1969 when Nixon moved to close the gold window. The US Treasury has since required banks to send all $500 bills back to […]
August 6th, 2025 | The Rare Earth Elements Crisis – Why isn’t America Digging in Ukraine?
Armstrong Economics - America is desperate for rare earth minerals. China was supplying the US with around 70% of all such minerals, but they’re not going to supply them to an enemy nation to create weapons. As I mentioned yesterday, this is precisely why America is desperate to access Ukraine. I received a few comments asking why […]
August 5th, 2025 | The Rare Earth Crisis
Armstrong Economics - QUESTION: If Trump imposes sanctions on China for buying Russian energy, what do you expect China to do? Rob ANSWER: The deeper you look, the more it becomes abundantly clear. America’s defence supply chain is built on materials it doesn’t control. Missiles, fighter jets, radar systems, drones — all depend on a steady stream of […]
August 4th, 2025 | Retail and Tech Jobs At-Risk in the US
Armstrong Economics - US employers have reduced their workforce more in the first seven months of 2025 than in all of 2024. The DOGE cuts to the public sector were the primary driver of layoffs; however, there has been a notable drop in retail and technology positions in the private sector. July alone saw 62,000 jobs reduced from […]
August 3rd, 2025 | Disappointment with Trump Raising Serious Concerns Worldwide
Armstrong Economics - QUESTION: This may seem to be a conspiracy theory, but has a double been sent in to pretend he is Trump. The anti-war old Trump has moved nuclear subs to the border of Russia, and the Telegraph reported that no president has ever played a game of nuclear brinkmanship. Trump looks different and much older […]
August 2nd, 2025 | Soros Assisted Hillary and Obama in Russian Collusion Hoax
Armstrong Economics - Newly declassified documents reveal that George Soros assisted Hillary Clinton in creating the Russian collusion hoax in an attempt to discredit Donald Trump and deceive the American public ahead of a presidential election. Special counsel John Durham’s 2023 report has been largely declassified and now reveals the link between Soros’s Open Society Foundations and the […]
August 1st, 2025 | State Claims Family’s 175-Year Old Farm under Eminent Domain Laws
Armstrong Economics - A farm with 175 years of family ownership will be seized by the state of New Jersey under eminent domain. The Henry family inherited the 21-acre farm in Cranbury Township in 1850. The farm is still profitable for the Henry family, and they intend to maintain it for generations to come. However, the state […]
July 31st, 2025 | Why US GDP Rose 3% Q2 2025
Armstrong Economics - Data from the Commerce Department shows that the US gross domestic product rose 3% in Q2 on a seasonally inflation-adjusted basis. The figure may have surpassed estimates by around 0.7%, but it does not indicate the beginning of a rising trend. First, the figure has already been adjusted for inflation to fit a narrative. The […]
July 30th, 2025 | EU and IMF Reconsider Funding Ukraine over Govt Corruption
Armstrong Economics - Ukraine was well-known as the most corrupt nation in Europe, if not the world. This is why Ukraine was not permitted to join the European Union, as the bloc determined that the country needed to implement harsh anti-corruption measures if it wanted to join. The EU decided to give that same corrupt government endless […]
July 29th, 2025 | EVs Linked to Motion Sickness
Armstrong Economics - New studies reveal that electric vehicles are causing an increase in motion sickness that surpasses the nausea felt while driving in the rattling cars of the 1970s. Motion sickness occurs when our bodily senses conflict with the movement we are experiencing, and the smooth drive of an EV could actually cause drivers and passengers […]
July 27th, 2025 | The Schema Frequency
Armstrong Economics - QUESTION: Marty, they call you the legend since you have been calling markets and trends for decades. It is not hard to see that you are perhaps the greatest trader of all time. You are famous for not calling the 1987 Crash, but the very day of the low, you called the low and said […]
July 26th, 2025 | Debt & War
Armstrong Economics - Many have been writing in about the FT’s article on the UK surpassing China as the 2nd largest holder of US debt. While they understand I have laid out that ever since the Biden Administration that was in the hands of the Neocons began threatening China with war over Taiwan, and in the aftermath of […]
July 25th, 2025 | Trucker Convoy Lawyer Debanked
Armstrong Economics - Banks have the ability to debank customers at a moment’s notice. Canada successfully weaponized its banks against the people during the Trucker Convoy, a peaceful protest demanding the right to bodily autonomy during the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Lawyer Eva Chipiuk, who represented the Trucker (Freedom) Convoy, received notice from the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) […]
July 24th, 2025 | China Continues to Offload US Treasuries
Armstrong Economics - China has been offloading its US Treasury holdings for years. Once the top holder of US debt, China cut its US Treasury holdings for the third consecutive month this May. Total holdings have fallen to $756.3 billion from $757.2 billion in April, according to the US Treasury, marking the lowest debt held since May […]
July 23rd, 2025 | Cash Accepted Here – Payment Choice Act
Armstrong Economics - Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and John Fetterman (D-PA) have introduced bipartisan legislation, the Payment Choice Act, which would require businesses to accept cash payments. Money is merely the medium of exchange that someone is willing to accept for goods or services. Businesses across America have inadvertently contributed to the push toward a cashless society […]
July 22nd, 2025 | Institutions Decreasing Real Estate Purchases
Armstrong Economics - Investors continue to snap up residential properties, as real estate has evolved into an investment class of its own. New reports show that between 2020 and 2023, investors were responsible for 18.5% of home purchases. In the first three months of 2025, investors composed 27% of all residential properties, marking the highest share in […]
July 21st, 2025 | The Treaty of Versailles Part II?
Armstrong Economics - Vladimir Putin has 580 billion additional reasons not to end the war. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz entered office with a clear intent to usher Germany into World War III. Not only has Merz mobilized troops and the largest military spending package in modern European history, but he is now demanding that Russia pay reparations […]

July 18th, 2025 | 60% of Canadians Face Rising Mortgage Payments by 2026
Armstrong Economics - Canadians with a mortgage renewal in the near future are facing trouble ahead. The Bank of Canada released a new report detailing that around 60% of outstanding mortgages are set to renew in 2025 or 2026, and those homeowners are highly likely to see a rise in monthly payments. Most borrowers went into a […]
July 17th, 2025 | The Stripper Index
Armstrong Economics - One company has been looking to one of the world’s oldest professions to gauge the state of the economy—sex work. “The ‘stripper index’ is an unconventional economic indicator that correlates changes in sex work revenue, such as escort pricing, strip club tips, and related search interest, with broader economic cycles,” Erobella states on its website. […]
July 16th, 2025 | Japan & MNRA Studies
Armstrong Economics - Some people are reporting that Japanese researchers were able to obtain vaccine and death records for 21 million people, and determined that those who died from MNRA came in “death waves” that took place 3-4 months after the injections, not right away. The data also reveal how long it takes for your death risk to […]
July 15th, 2025 | UK Data Use and Access Act – Digital Wallets Coming
Armstrong Economics - The Data (Use and Access) Act, also known as the DUA Bill, has provided the UK government with the ability to roll out a series of programs that will eventually force citizens to participate in a digital ID program. The law was enacted with the premise of reinforcing security and providing convenience for businesses […]
Armstrong Economics - The world’s largest pension fund, the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) of Japan, reported a $61.1 billion loss for the first quarter of the year. Half of the fund’s $1.5 trillion assets under management (AUM) are within overseas markets, and although susceptible to currency fluctuations, the true problem lies in the fund’s other 50% of its portfolio—government bonds […]
July 13th, 2025 | Will Mass Deporation Harm US GDP?
Armstrong Economics - The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas believes that mass deportation efforts will negatively impact US GDP. Projections speculate that GDP could decline by nearly a percentage point in 2025, followed by larger cuts in the coming years. GOVERNMENT SPENDING IS FACTORED INTO GDP. I have repeatedly warned that Donald Trump would be blamed for the […]
