Armstrong Economics - The Board of Peace was established in November 2025 to champion the Gaza-Israel ceasefire.

January 19th, 2026 | Britain’s Foreign Secretary Insists Putin Rebukes Peace
Armstrong Economics - Peace was never an option. The Russia-Ukraine war was plotted out over a decade ago by people unassociated with either nation.

The West installed Zelensky to quietly control Ukraine and position it for […]
January 17th, 2026 | Dr Refuses to Say Biological Men Cannot Get Pregnant
Armstrong Economics - What is really stunning in this conversation is how the WOKE LEFT are willing to go in order to pretend that they are never wrong.

[…]

China’s access to cheap oil from Venezuela came to a sudden halt after the US takeover. China was […]
January 7th, 2026 | The Left’s Top Dark Money Network of Donors
Armstrong Economics - Arabella Advisors, the world’s most influential fund for left-wing politics, has rebranded but not dissipated.

[…]

January 4th, 2026 | Why Did Trump Really Take Venezuela? It Wasn’t Just Oil!
Armstrong Economics - COMMENT: You said these podcasts that Venezuela had the oil but the big question is China. Would like to expand on that now? Socrates showed the dollar taking off in October 2024 and the fourth quarter was a turning point. But it now shows volatility rising from February on. It looks like this is not […]

December 31st, 2025 | A Top Concern Among Readers in 2025
Armstrong Economics - People are losing confidence in institutions precisely because these actions show how quickly access to one’s own assets can be restricted without due process.

Data will be weaponized as the sovereign […]
December 30th, 2025 | November 2025 US Real Estate
