QUESTION: Did you honestly say that Hillary was better than Kamala?
HG
ANSWER: Yes. This has NOTHING to do with either’s claimed policies. As part of the vetting process years ago, the question was whether they were intelligent enough to handle the job. You need someone who is authoritarian and can stand their own between all the players for the Deep State at these cabinet meetings. Hillary has a brain, and she would not allow them to push her over. That does not mean I agree with the policies or the direction of her thinking. Kamala does not have what it takes to do the job, which is why the Neocons stuffed her in this position, and she never had to be elected by the Democrats in a primary.
Kamala will be a disaster, and the Deep State will take us into World War III. Look at her Vice President pick—another placeholder. Being president is NOT about kissing babies and saving whales. This is a serious job, and the press seems to want to fool everyone all the time.

Kuwait has forced over one million citizens to hand over their biometric data in one of the most extreme pushes for digital ID. Kuwait introduced a national electronic ID (eID) that they say will assist with identification verification, digital signatures, E-government access, and the secure exchange of data. The deadline to file for this mandatory program was September 30 and the consequences for failing to comply were swift.
On October 1, the Ministry of Interior announced that those who failed to submit their data would be prohibited from all electronic services such as withdrawals, transfers, and account transfers. One cannot even withdraw cash. Around 35,000 people have been blocked out of their bank accounts and are unable to even view the balance. A few weeks later, those in noncompliance has their electronic bank cards deactivated. Visa, MasterCard, and K-Net all abided by the government’s rule.
Beginning on November 1, The Kuwait Banking Association stated it will implement a “complete block” on all accounts, which means one cannot even withdraw funds if they go to the bank in person. Expatriates have until December 31 to submit their biometric registration.
The government has reported an uptick of 6,000 new registrants per day compared to 600 since they began blocking citizens from accessing their own bank accounts. The government called this a “phased approach,” believing they’ve offered leniency to the public.
The issue here is that governments globally are strapped for funds and believe that they can increase revenues by at least 35% if they hunt down their citizens for taxes. Then we have the layer of the Great Reset put forth by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum that is aiming to create a One World Government complete with a global database to track absolutely everyone. Australian journalist Maria Zaric has called it a “digital prison.” Once you’re locked in, you’re locked in. People will be less likely to speak out against the government, protest, or refuse vaccinations if they know their government can immediately exile them from society. This is more than a mere identification as it provides the government with instant access to all of your information and they will track your every movement. This is only the beginning of a massive wave of tyranny. Our computer has been warning that we have been entering into a more authoritarian mode that will reach a head in 2032.
People believe that NATO will simply back down if Donald Trump is re-elected as he is strongly against the war in Ukraine. This is simply not the case as NATO began planning for a Trump victory months ago.
Chief Jens Stoltenberg attempted to created a 100 billion euro fund that was intended to be “Trump-proof” earlier in the spring. However, his plan was abandoned in June 2024. Stoltenberg then wanted every member to pledge an annual package of $43 billion on non-lethal aid for Ukraine. Yet, there was dissent within NATO as nations like Italy said they were not actively at war with Russia, while others wanted to wait to see how much US Congress would pass on to Ukraine.
Last week, NATO defense chiefs held a meeting to discuss how to continue the war in the event of a Trump victory. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin assured NATO that the neocons in Washington are committed to continuing aid packages to Ukraine. “We can’t expect that the US will continue to take on an outsized burden” in supporting Ukraine, a senior NATO official said on Thursday, “which is why the Secretary General wants to see NATO leading on security assistance, rather than one ally taking that on.” The official noted that the Europe must now “step up” in case someone enters the White House who is actually seeking peace.
America and Europe are ramping up their efforts to arm Ukraine ahead of the election. Both are now using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine. Biden said he is “emptying out” all of the funding that Congress has already approved for Ukraine. The other goal is to provide Ukraine with the means to manufacture their own munitions, with Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien commenting that “billions” have been invested on the matter. “Every day, we are building long-term capability to Ukraine,” Austin said on Friday. “That will help to spell success for Ukraine in the long haul.”
The Neocons have weeks to finalize a plan. How do they ensure the Ukraine war continues if Donald Trump becomes president this November? The answer may shock the world.
Believe it or not, Americans want a fair election. One side is using never-before-seen tactics to secure the vote, such as installing a new nominee without securing a single nomination in the primaries and permitting illegal aliens to vote. A recent poll shows that both Republicans and Democrats want a fair election that includes requiring voter ID.
The latest Gallup poll found that an overwhelming 84% of all Americans believe photo identification should be required to vote. Then, 83% of all Americans believe first-time voters must provide proof of citizenship. Americans want to determine the outcome of their own election, but the government continues to ignore the will of the people.
BREAKING: non-citizens in Minnesota say they are registered to vote.
But the media told me this never happens and that’s why 198 Democrats voted against a bill requiring proof of US citizenship to vote…

Democrats were less likely to demand proof of citizenship, but still, the majority (66%) believe it should be required. The majority of the left (67%) also believe photo identification cannot be overlooked. Republicans naturally see that illegal migrants will vote against their party. Why would anyone vote against the party that has provided them a taxpayer-subsidized life in a new nation where they are not required to assimilate nor are they held to the same legal code as citizens. Of no surprise, 98% of Republicans are demanding proof of citizenship, and 96% want to see a photo ID. About 84% of Independents support both measures.
QUESTION: Dear Martin,
thank you for all your work and the inside you give!
I’m following your blog since 2016 and I would like to ask you for an outlook regarding Hungary and Serbia.
Looking at the actual situation in Europe and history since 1914 it smells like after the smoke will be gone after 2032 the Chinese will focus on these two as their main partners in Europe.
China is heavily investing in infrastructure in both countrys, especially northern Serbia and south Hungary.
All the best and prepare for another 50 years with us, as Scotty needs to overhaul the machines … 
Best regards

ANSWER: It does appear that Hungary and Serbia will survive against the rest of Europe. 2024 was a turning point, and like most other indicators, we see turmoil into 2027. I speak to people there in Serbia and even Macedonia. The general sentiment is pro-Russia, for they never seem to have anything positive to say about Ukraine, most likely because they were goose-stepping with Hitler’s Nazis.
China has been making inroads into Africa and South America. It understands the economic model and cycles. It generally believes that this is its time to rise. Keep in mind that China’s rise is enabled by the stupidity of our leaders and this quest for war with Russia. The West is committing suicide, and that, above all else, is enabling China’s rise. This is not my dream or desire. I have grandchildren, and I had hoped to leave them in the future. But we have allowed these Neocons to seize power, and our complicity, combined with the refusal of mainstream media even to do investigative journalism anymore, is making sure we will crash and burn.
