Book description:

“Take care of Russia,” Boris Yeltsin said as he departed his presidency in August 1999. These words were directed at current Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Yeltsin specifically picked Putin as his predecessor to prevent the takeover of Russia.

So, who was Yeltsin warning against? Newly declassified documents from the Clinton Administration prove that there was a plot to rig the Russian election of 2000. These never-before-seen documents confirm numerous attempts to implement pro-Western policies using the Russian oligarchy headed by Boris Berezovsky.

On the other side were the communists who desired a return to the glory days of the Soviet Union. As one of the largest international hedge fund managers, author Martin Armstrong found himself in the middle of perhaps the greatest espionage, or attempt at a regime change for Russia, in modern history.

The Plot to Seize Russia pulls back the curtain to expose the most extraordinary attempt to seize power in modern history, but with the pen rather than armies. These declassified documents reveal a plot that has altered our thinking about the relations between the United States and Russia. The thirst for power comes seething through every line of these papers that alter our perception of reality, change the course of history, and now threaten us with World War III.

From the rise and fall of empires to the digital age of algorithmic finance, the Code shows how every crisis—and every recovery—follows a pattern few understand but everyone feels.

Whether you’re an investor, policymaker, or simply trying to navigate a world of chaos, The Armstrong Economic Code gives you the tools to see what’s coming next—and why the future was already written in the past.

Today we remember and honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

Coming from a military family myself, I have not been blind to the heroism and bravery of those who have fought for the nation. This is why I will always call out the unjust proposals of neocons who care not about those on the battlefield, or their families left behind. I will continue pushing peace proposals based that would be mutually beneficial for everyone involved. My fight may not be on the battlefield but I salute the brave men and women who paid the ultimate price for this country.

Thank you to our veterans.

Pro-Israel Americans are proud to help defeat anti-Israel candidates!

Being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics! https://t.co/TtBhf7y7TW

— AIPAC ???? (@AIPAC) May 20, 2026

Thomas Massie did not lose because the people of Kentucky suddenly rejected him. He lost because Washington sent a message to every politician in America that if you dare question the foreign policy agenda, if you dare oppose endless war funding, and if you dare call out the influence of AIPAC and the Israel lobby, the full weight of the political machine will be dropped directly on your head.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION WAS RIGGED BY A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT! Openly. A foreign government openly rigged a US election and installed a puppet candidate. Even the President of the United States promoted and greenlighted this unbelievable, treasonous act. I do not care if you are conservative, liberal, libertarian, or an anarchist–this is WRONG. The American people were denied the opportunity to select their representative because the US government prioritizes Israel.

The media keeps pretending this was some normal Republican primary battle between conservatives. That is nonsense. Ed Gallrein was virtually unknown nationally. The man avoided the national spotlight, opted out of interviews, and suddenly had millions pouring into his race from outside interests aligned against Massie. Before Israel intervened, Massie was one of the most discussed politicians in the US. Gallrein received around 95% of his funding from AIPAC. The man is not an American candidate.

This became the most expensive House primary in American history. Think about that carefully. Not for a Senate seat. Not for president. For one congressional district in Kentucky. Reports estimated spending exceeded $25 million and climbed beyond $32 million by election day.

Only 100 people from Kentucky actually funded Gallerin. Read that again. The people and Super PACs funding this campaign did not come from the state level. Why? Because Thomas Massie committed the unforgivable sin in Washington. He refused to bow to the neocons, Israel, and AIPAC.

Massie opposed endless foreign aid and wars. He criticized the bipartisan obsession with dragging America deeper into foreign conflicts while the United States itself drowns in debt, inflation, crime, collapsing infrastructure, and a disappearing middle class. Most importantly, he openly criticized the influence of AIPAC and the Israeli lobby over Congress.

“Congratulations to US Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein for defeating anti-Israel incumbent Thomas Massie!” the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) posted to X after the election. The organization openly celebrated pouring millions into Massie’s opposition. In other words, a foreign lobby is OPENLY buying seats in the US government.

Foreign nationals, their puppets, painted Massie as anti-Semitic for condemning the most influential foreign lobbyist group in US history. This is a textbook tool of political propaganda: demonize the enemy. “No country is special, and no country deserves my constituents’ taxpayer dollars,” Massie told reporters at CBS. “So I have never voted for foreign aid to Egypt, to Syria, to Israel, or to Ukraine – but the ones in Israel, since they’re the biggest recipients of it, that makes them a little bit mad.” He discussed on Tucker Carlson exactly why he opposed the group. “Their position is more war, it’s more strife, it’s more bombs, it’s more foreign aid, and those are the things that I’ve been voting against. So the real reason that this race is a serious race, and I may lose, is because a foreign lobby has fully funded to the extent that they’ve never done in any Republican race ever before,” Massie said.

“Why would they care what happens in a Republican primary in Kentucky?” Carlson asked of the pro-Israel groups and billionaire backers. “If I lose on May 19, I’ll be out of Congress on January 3 next year, and nobody’s gonna follow my Twitter, nobody’s gonna go to my Facebook page to see what’s going on. I won’t be invited down into the secret SCIFs to read the secret interpretations of the laws that the executive branch is using to spy on you. The one whistleblower, if you will, in Congress, will be gone,” Massie responded.

We are now at the point where foreign lobbying organizations openly flex their ability to remove sitting members of Congress who do not support their agenda strongly enough. Nobody even hides it anymore.

The PRESIDENT of the United States sided with the foreign lobbyists against the people of Kentucky. The same Trump who once promised to “drain the swamp” now marches shoulder-to-shoulder with the same donor networks and lobbying interests the MAGA movement once claimed to oppose. It is absolutely shameful to see how far Trump has fallen in line with Bibi. Trump called Massie the “worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman.” Yet, a few years ago, before he was under Bibi’s thumb, Trump praised Massie and encouraged MAGA to back him.

Then came perhaps the most disgraceful moment of all. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth literally campaigned against Massie while the United States sits on the edge of major geopolitical escalation worldwide. Reuters reported Hegseth stepped away from Pentagon duties to campaign for Gallrein personally. Think about the insanity of that.

America faces rising tensions with Iran, Russia, China, collapsing debt markets, border chaos, and growing instability globally, yet the Secretary of Defense found time to fly into Kentucky to help destroy a congressman whose primary crime was opposing endless war and foreign entanglements. That tells you everything you need to know.

Washington no longer belongs to the American people. It belongs to donors, lobbying groups, defense contractors, intelligence networks, and foreign policy interests that operate completely outside the will of ordinary citizens. Republicans and Democrats scream at each other on television every night, but the second anyone questions Israel funding, NATO expansion, war spending, or foreign lobbying influence, suddenly the entire establishment unites instantly.

Massie was one of the very few Republicans willing to challenge the war machine publicly. Whether people agreed with him or not is irrelevant. The point is that Congress is now openly being shaped through financial intimidation campaigns funded by outside lobbying interests. Politicians watch what happened to Massie and understand the message clearly: obey or be destroyed.

This is exactly how republics rot from within. Not from invasion. Not from foreign armies. From corruption, money, lobbying, intimidation, and politicians who increasingly represent outside interests before their own citizens.

Japan spent decades trying to avoid the exact immigration collapse now consuming Europe, and yet even they created a loophole so obvious that people are openly discussing it online step by step. Marry a Japanese citizen, obtain a spouse visa, have a child, divorce, remain in Japan under parental or long-term residency provisions, then eventually remarry someone from your original country and effectively establish an entirely new immigration chain through the back door. The entire structure rests on the fact that Japan places enormous weight on the welfare of a child with Japanese nationality. Once a child exists, the government becomes far more reluctant to remove the foreign parent from the country.

Immigration lawyers openly advertise the pathways. They explain in detail how foreigners who divorce Japanese spouses can often remain in Japan if they are raising or supporting a Japanese child. Japan’s own immigration framework allows divorced foreign spouses to apply for “Long-Term Resident” status based on childcare, financial support, and living stability.

Japan’s immigration authorities even specify that holders of spouse visas must report divorce within 14 days, yet remaining in the country afterward is still frequently possible through status changes rather than removal. What began as a humanitarian protection for genuine families has quietly evolved into a residency mechanism that many now believe can be strategically exploited.

Japan has already been tightening immigration standards because officials clearly understand the system is under pressure. In 2026, the government moved toward stricter residency requirements, tougher permanent residency screening, and expanded scrutiny over foreign residents. They are requiring longer visa periods, tougher tax compliance, and deeper reviews of residency stability precisely because the number of foreign residents has exploded over the past decade.

The foreign population in Japan has already surpassed 3.7 million people according to recent government estimates, reaching record highs as labor shortages intensify. At the same time, births among Japanese nationals continue collapsing to historic lows. The government is trapped between demographic panic and preserving national identity. That is always when immigration loopholes become politically dangerous.

Now Japan has also introduced joint custody reforms beginning in 2026, ending more than a century of sole custody structures after divorce. That may sound administrative, but it further strengthens the ability for divorced foreign parents to maintain legal and practical ties inside Japan indefinitely. Once the legal system institutionalizes long-term parental residency rights, the line between temporary marriage migration and permanent settlement becomes increasingly blurred.

The West followed this exact trajectory. First came “temporary” migration. Then family reunification. Then asylum expansion. Then child-based residency protections. Eventually entire immigration systems became impossible to enforce because every loophole generated another legal argument to remain permanently. Governments always believe they can control the process in the beginning. They never can.

Japan’s strength was always its cohesion. Tokyo remained Tokyo. Osaka remained Osaka. Communities still shared language, customs, expectations, and social trust. That social cohesion became one of the safest and most stable environments in the industrialized world.

The Economic Confidence Model has always shown that governments facing demographic collapse and sovereign debt crises eventually prioritize economic survival over cultural continuity. Japan’s debt exceeds 250% of GDP. Their workforce is shrinking. Their pension obligations are exploding. Under those conditions, every foreign worker becomes economically valuable to the state regardless of the long-term consequences.

The Cuban crisis is becoming far more dangerous than most people understand because this is no longer simply about Cuba. This is about the global war cycle accelerating exactly as the models projected years ago. Once great powers begin directly confronting each other in each other’s spheres of influence, history shows that events start moving very quickly and often spiral beyond anyone’s original intentions.

Now Russia is openly signaling support for Cuba while Washington escalates pressure on Havana yet again. Russian officials condemned what they called American “interference” and pledged support for Cuba as the United States tightened sanctions and moved toward possible legal action against Raúl Castro. At the same time, reports are surfacing about Russian oil shipments to Cuba, drone concerns near Guantanamo Bay, and fears inside Washington that Cuba could once again become a strategic outpost for Russia and potentially China right off the coast of the United States.

The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 nearly pushed the world into nuclear war because Moscow and Washington were testing each other’s limits. Today we are entering another period where major powers are increasingly operating aggressively near each other’s strategic boundaries. NATO expanded toward Russia’s borders for decades while Washington pretended Moscow would simply tolerate it forever. Now Russia is beginning to answer in kind closer to America’s sphere of influence.

The War Cycle has been warning that 2026 to 2027 would become increasingly unstable geopolitically. Europe is already moving toward economic depression conditions. NATO is fragmenting internally. Sovereign debt levels are becoming unsustainable globally. Civil unrest is rising across the West. Historically, governments facing economic decline often externalize internal tensions through geopolitical confrontation because it temporarily unifies populations against an outside enemy.

Look at the pattern forming simultaneously. The Middle East is unstable. China and Taiwan tensions continue building. NATO is openly discussing deeper military integration with Ukraine. Europe is rearming at the fastest pace in generations. North Korea is directly involved in the Ukraine conflict. Iran and Russia are growing closer militarily. Now Cuba is again becoming a flashpoint between Moscow and Washington. These are converging war-cycle events.

Cuba itself is already suffering severe blackouts, fuel shortages, and economic collapse conditions after disruptions to Venezuelan oil shipments and increasing pressure from Washington. Yet instead of stabilizing the region diplomatically, both sides are escalating rhetoric. Russian officials are openly accusing the United States of reviving the Monroe Doctrine while Washington increasingly portrays Cuba as a direct security threat once again.

What is astonishing is how few world leaders appear interested in de-escalation anymore. Europe’s leadership behaves almost fanatically committed to confrontation with Russia regardless of the economic consequences. Washington increasingly views every geopolitical challenge through military lenses. Moscow is now openly expanding strategic relationships in America’s own hemisphere. China watches all of this carefully while preparing for its own long-term confrontation with the West.

The danger into 2027 is not necessarily one single giant war erupting overnight. The danger is multiple regional crises merging together into one broader geopolitical confrontation where eventually every alliance structure becomes activated simultaneously. That is how world wars historically emerge. Not from one event, but from chains of escalation connecting previously separate conflicts together.
