The elites in Washington already have lawyers and methods to conceal their backdoor dealings, but their aids and others are […]
February 16th, 2025 | Pharmaceutical Marketing – Billions Spent to Make You Sick
Armstrong Economics - The United States and New Zealand are perhaps the only nations that permit direct-to-consumer (DTC) prescription drug advertising. Big Pharma is permitted to use every marketing tool at its disposal to glamorize medications to consumers, who are then expected to go to their doctors and ask for the latest and greatest pill, treatment, or […]

February 13th, 2025 | Could Canada Join the EU?
Armstrong Economics - An economist has made headlines for suggesting that Canada unite with the European Union bloc. Could Canada become the 28th member state? Absolutely not.

Armstrong Economics - QUESTION: What do you think of Trump’s proposal that Canada become the 51st State?

Armstrong Economics - The Washington Post reported Friday that the United Kingdom’s deep state has demanded that Apple create a back door for them to retrieve all the content any Apple user worldwide has uploaded to the cloud—what would be an unprecedented erosion of online privacy and civil liberties.

February 6th, 2025 | Distributive Bargaining
Armstrong Economics - Distributive bargaining is a competitive negotiation approach where one party aims to maximize its share from a limited pool of resources. This strategy is often called zero-sum negotiation, as the total amount of resources available remains constant. Some call this the win-lose method, as compromise is not the goal. David Honig, an attorney and adjunct […]

Armstrong Economics - Tariffs never work, but threats often do when it is known they will be carried out.

January 27th, 2025 | Biden’s Pardons are Unconstitutional
Armstrong Economics - COMMENT: Dear Marty I read your article about Fauci’s pardon being unconstitutional, but I have something to add. The basis for pre-emptive pardons being unlawful can be found in ancient English constitutional law, see the Prince of Orange’s 1688 Declaration of Reason that preceded England’s 1688 Bill of Rights. This carries over to USA via […]

Armstrong Economics - Donald Trump is prepared to drop Canada as a trade partner based on his recent comments in Davos at the World Economic Forum. “We don’t need them to make our cars, and they make a lot of them.

January 22nd, 2025 | Why Biden’s Pardons Are Unconstitutional and VOID
Armstrong Economics - QUESTION: YOu said that Biden’s pardons are probably unconstitutional. Please explain this since nobody in the press has taken that position.
