Martin Armstrong has a connection with Russia.
Not so much as that he would have inside knowledge about Russia. Far from it. But he peddles Russian Propaganda. and he does that desperately. Why? Does he need money fast?
As I have exposed on this site numerous times, he has nothing to sell except material gleaned during his internet trolling, most of it useless gossip and a large part of it disinformation and conspiracy theories.
So where is the Russia connection? We don't need to look further than RT.com
Within a short time span of a week, RT.com interviewed Martin Armstrong twice. Here are the interviews where he peddles Russia's perspective. He promotes the interviews ON HIS OWN BLOG SITE (which is apparently part of the deal):
RT Interview on Russia-Ukraine War
Posted Sep 17, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
RT reached out to Martin Armstrong for an economist’s view on the Ukrainian conflict. Click here for a quick interview that explains why Zelensky has no incentive to seek peace.
The video file can be found here:
Another interview:
Martin Armstrong: Green Agenda Caused The Energy Wars & Dividing The World Economy

Later, on May 20,2024, he is in another RT interview:
Nobody really ever expected Kiev to win, it’s just a proxy war to weaken Russia – Martin Armstrong
and in May, 2025:
Martin Armstrong talks to RT 200525
and in July 2025:
'19th century economics' — economist Armstrong on Trump's tariffs
But as usual, this is not enough. I doubt that these activities generate enough cash for him. Here, his pool of current and potential scam victims comes to the rescue. He exploits them, with the aim to sow discord which is in line with his money-generating hate campaigns AND in line with Russian interests to destabilize western societies. In this case, his central theme is manifested in his book
Martin Armstrong Book: The Plot to Seize Russia
This book is tightly integrated in his campaigns promoting his conferences, campaigns that include numerous other interviews where he discussed the upcoming book.
Here is another RT interview video:
Sept 8 2026:
U.S TOP OFFICIALS BLAME SOARING DIESEL PRICES ON KIEV ATTACKING RUSSIAN ENERGY
Things become a little clearer with consideration of his general hate of the United States. If this sounds extreme to you, please read: Martin Armstrong's Agenda
The above is not a conspiracy theory. Please try to see this from Martin Armstrong's perspective. It is a cocktail made from his revenge perspective, his limited but manifold options as a scam business operator, and above you can see the composition of this unusual mix.
And I want to make it clear to the Russians that Martin Armstrong is a dead duck because everybody knows everything about him as a criminal, crook and scammer.
The Russian Propaganda Pivot
Starting in 2026, perhaps even earlier, Russian / anti "Collective West" propaganda has become the dominant portion of his content, to such as an extent that the declining forecasting portion almost looks like camouflage. I think of camouflage because his forecasting and "Socrates" technical analysis business has declined, together with the size of his crew, his "Inner Circle" which can be seen in his latest 2026 World Economic Conference (WEC).
While the number of his clickbait distribution channels has declined dramatically due to banning, cognitive decline and my campaigns, he is still highly active on his blog site, and in particular on his X channel Martin A. Armstrong where he maintains a daily relentless Russian propaganda stream. The Russian propaganda market value of that channel can be estimated between $15,000 to $30,000 per month.
While that pivot makes Armstrong highly vulnerable to potential punitive action by US authorities, it lets him monetize his followers in controlled demolition mode with minimal effort such as daily cheap rants on X and chatbot-generated AI slop on his blog site.
A Smoking Gun?
Making a financial connection is is vital in this context but difficult to prove from an outsider perspective. So how far can we get? Very far but not quite. Paid shills are vital in Armstrong's business and he has been using shills on a massive scale from day one. For convenience, the commercial incentive of a shill is established as soon as the activity of that shill crosses a threshold where one can safely assume that the activity is persistent, regular and massive to an extent that it would be like a full time or half time job. What helps here is that shills need to invest in their social media profile to blend in with a specific community profile that can be shown to be chosen to meet the agenda of the shill's clients (inauthentic behavior).
So in this case, we need communities that are aligned anti-"Collective West". We already have two of these communities, which are Zero Hedge and a pro Russian anti-"Collective West" military blog Reminiscence of the Future...
Then we need that shill guy who spends all day blogging in those communities and, most importantly, promotes Armstrong Economics and other anti-"Collective West" entities (linking to their pro Russian, anti-"Collective West" articles) hundreds of times in the course of months or years.
That would be a guy who receives money for spreading Russian propaganda originating at Martin Armstrong's site. Whether he receives that money from Armstrong himself or from the Russians directly is only a subtlety.
That would be a smoking gun. And we have it.
The name of that person is Thomas Malthaus. I documented his activity at Zero Hedge here. As of Oct 10 2026, he has posted more that 250 links to Armstrong Economics content since April 2022.
And here is his disqus profile. As of Oct 10 2026, he has posted more that 170 links to Armstrong Economics content since April 2025, mainly on the pro Russian anti-"Collective West" military blog Reminiscence of the Future...
And he blends in perfectly, making the case for me all by himself where he writes:
I fully support the efforts of Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia against the Western and Washington-based satanists.
Combined, he posted more than 420 links. Given that this activity is concentrated at around 2025 to 2026, this is more than one link per day on pro Russian anti-"Collective West" sites. At an estimated compensation of $15 per link, this would be worth $6,300.
