QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, the truth that you’ve appeared on nationwide TV throughout Europe and even Russia, however not in the USA, actually highlights the depth of censorship right here.
On RT, you predicted oil would nonetheless hit $200 by 2028. Each analyst they introduced on repeated the identical line—short-term ache for long-term achieve. As you identified, that’s straight out of the propaganda script. Not even Tucker Carson will interview you which of them raises query there as effectively.
So, with that in thoughts: do you assume the Iran struggle will push oil to $200 by 2028?

ANSWER: Power costs rise with struggle. This isn’t simply Iran. That is NOT short-term ache and there’s NO long-term achieve by any means! Netanyahu offered the USA on invading Iraq and testified earlier than Congress Saddam was shifting to nuclear and he had weapon of mass destruction. We all know that was all a lie. I imagine Netanyahu ought to be charged with perjury earlier than Congress other than his need for ethnic cleaning. We’re exhibiting 2028 as a significant turning level. There are two decisions. It’s a main excessive, or a low and the most important excessive is available in 2032. A closing above $111 on the finish of the 12 months will warn that is going to worsen moderately than higher.
There’s a main long-term disaster that threatens the collapse of the USA. The protection contractors can not simply replenish the missiles that had been hurled at Iran, they value 10 even as much as 200 occasions greater than these of Russia, China, or Iran. That is why Iran is successful and I don’t say this frivolously for stunning headline worth.
The U.S. received World Warfare II largely as a result of Germany was overly fixated on engineering perfection. We mass-produced jeeps on a scale Germany may by no means match, and our manufacturing prices had been a fraction of theirs. As we speak, the shoe is on the opposite foot.
America can boast the most important navy on paper, however our obsession with sophistication is changing into our downfall, simply because it was for Germany within the Nineteen Forties. Manufacturing prices for contemporary missiles are completely off the charts. A single Patriot interceptor is estimated at round $4 million. Israel and the U.S. have typically used a number of interceptors towards a single $50,000 drone, with some experiences claiming as much as eight missiles fired at one goal.
Against this, Iran’s major assault drone, the Shahed-136, prices someplace between $20,000 and $50,000 to provide. That low value is central to Tehran’s technique. I wrote on the outset of this battle that Iran’s plan can be to overwhelm defenses with waves of low-cost drones, forcing Israel and the U.S. to exhaust their costly missile stockpiles, leaving them weak to a extra critical strike. It is a struggle of attrition, pure and easy.
The neocons assume that having the biggest military ensures victory. They don’t research historical past, they usually fail to know that the way in which to defeat the U.S. and Israel is exactly by attrition. I can not imagine they’re this obtuse.
Our protection contractors, in fact, have each incentive to provide the costliest missiles on this planet. They couldn’t care much less in regards to the nation or its folks. They function on the identical assumption that America is invincible, so the checks will hold coming. In the meantime, China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea all produce their very own weapons immediately by state-controlled techniques. That’s the actual vulnerability.
And but the press retains parroting the neocon script—”short-term ache for long-term achieve”—with out ever defining what that achieve truly is. What does it imply? Oil returning to pre-war costs? The struggle debt, if we hold rolling it over, will double inside a decade. Nobody within the mainstream media appears keen to ask the plain questions.
Greater than 50% of the U.S. nationwide debt is nothing greater than gathered curiosity funds—cash that has NEVER benefited society in any possible way. The economists who cooked up Trendy Financial Principle, counting on Quantitative Easing that conspicuously failed to provide inflation, concluded that the federal government may merely hand out cash with out consequence. That conclusion reveals a profound ignorance of how the worldwide financial system truly works.
China offered into the Quantitative Easing so the cash left the USA and by no means stimulated the home financial system. That is why mainstream media would NEVER put me on the air as a result of I don’t learn the scripts handed out by the Neocons.
This 12 months alone, we’ll add greater than $1 trillion {dollars} in curiosity value to roll the debt. Everybody freaked-out in 1980 when the US Nationwide Debt hit $1 trillion. This involves an finish ONLY after they can not promote the subsequent traunch to repay the outdated.
Mainstream media at present is not any higher than Pravda underneath the Soviet Union. The film on me the Forecaster, was seen on nationwide TV in lots of international locations however not the USA, Marcus had a take care of Netflix and on the final minute they weren’t allowed to point out it. Somebody went so far as to interrupt into Marcus’ studio in Germany stole the movie. He had a backup. They went to excessive size to stop that film. A lot for the liberty of speech.
Mainstream churns out neocon propaganda on repeat, but I’ve by no means seen a single interviewer trouble to ask the plain query: what precisely is that this “long-term achieve” they hold speaking about?
I’ll personally pay for a first-class journey to the so-called land of freedom and democracy—Ukraine—if any of them can not supply an clever reply. Maybe they’ll uncover the reply there. They clearly assume we’re silly sufficient to swallow no matter they are saying, irrespective of how little sense it makes.
It’s a tragic state of affairs, nevertheless it proves a timeless reality: irrespective of the system of presidency, these in energy will all the time act in their very own self-interest. As Thrasymachus identified over 2,000 years in the past, nothing has ever modified.
PS: I’ve tried to warn President Trump, however the Neocons now intercept my letters to him.
