Topic: Martin Armstrong Discussion - page 371. (Read 647251 times)

As far as I understand Martin Armstrong does not believe in a cabal controlling certain governmental/financial outcomes. I think he has made a few posts on it in the past on his blog.

Armstrong is stuck in the fantasy world with you and the others.

I am telling you how it is. You can wait another 5 years to finally realize I am correct.

Don't worry I am usually 5 - 10 years ahead of everyone else.

Well, we'll have to see.  Actually, Greece NOT defaulting might be an interesting test of "The Bankster Theory" (where TF is my lawyer, I want to copyright that, stat).

Where does Armstrong stand on banksters (EDIT: "and their power over .gov")?  I'm curious, perhaps by chance I have not seen him address the Bankster/.GOV/Military/Industrial Complex.

You are wrong. The entire charade (including Russia and China) is being controlled by the banksters.

It is a scripted circus. There is no sovereignty. They own you.

Amigo TPTB!

You might be right, but I see a Greek Default along one or more of the lines as in my original post.  Yes, Europe could come to their "rescue" (LOL?), but that would indeed lead to a European outcome probably along the lines of what you propose.  Which is probably close to the end-game anyway.

My hunch is that Greece screws (or tries to screw) Europe/Germany first.  The big question would be: WWFD? *



* What would FRANCE do?

No it won't!

Your model of the goal and outcome is wrong. Read my my post at the following link:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11937734

The entire EU will brought into debt crisis and only then will there be a monetary reset in a NWO slavery system.

Dumb ass European people can't even see what is so obvious to me since 2010 when I predicted this outcome.

It seems we're heading for a new Gold low; I keep hearing that the next leg will stand little above $700. TPTB_need_war predicts we should be heading for a new BTC dump sooner than later (provided that Armstrong predictions are in line with BTC/Gold entanglement) and after October 1 (2015.75) the new rally for both assets will begin.

I dare to predict that this won't happen. TPTB are heading towards a far more important goal and that's beating the economic meltdown. What I find extremely interesting among Armstrong's latest posts is this article:

I wrote it on another thread as well, I don't think they will make it. Time is running short. Tick Tock...

This does not shock me as much as how they acted as described in an interview by Yanis Varoufakis. In that they totally ignore any reason outside of their ideology or agendas.

I'm glad that I found this thread. I'm trying to catch up now.

Anyway, I found this quote from that interview particularly interesting:
"So what we have is a non-existent group that has the greatest power to determine the lives of Europeans. It’s not answerable to anyone, given it doesn’t exist in law; no minutes are kept; and it’s confidential. So no citizen ever knows what is said within. … These are decisions of almost life and death, and no member has to answer to anybody."

I'm not Martin Armstrong. I am Shelby Moore.

I am very close to his thought process because of the confluence of several attributes:

• He and I both share the attribute of being programmers, yet also interested and researched in macro economics and artificial intelligence.
• He and I are apparently both slightly polymath.
• He and I are both to a large extent autodidacts and anti-establishment, although I did university studies and he didn't.
• I have the ability to get inside the inductive thought process of those whom I extensively read and study.
• I became acutely interested and widely read on what might lie behind the curtain after 9/11 (Sept 11 2001).
• I am very perceptive with a Briggs-Myers type of ENFP, only slightly biased on the F and P, mildly so on E, and significantly biased on iNtuition. My reading comprehension and retention of information is extremely high (well at least was before the M.S. made it laborious to read).
• I've been thinking deeply about and researching the nature of money and society since at least 2006. This was a tangent for me from my former (and hopefully restored) career as an entrepreneurial software programmer.
• I am formerly a silverbug, bought at lows in 2008, but also lost significant money investing and thus quickly recognized the superiority of Armstrong's modeling system over my prior mistakes.
• He and I are both intensely curious reductionists. He is a Baby Boomer version of my X-Gen self (which to me explains some of our differences, e.g. why he is more establishment than I am where he proposes institutionalized "solutions" to the crisis and doesn't believe there exists a TPTB capable of planning a NWO).

I started a thread on that topic.

Is this Martin Armstrong? Or are you just a student of his economics teachings?  You seem to be well versed in his economic theories.

You're postings seem to be pretty spot on, and I do agree that from what I've seen and heard govts are planning on moving to a cashless society.  There is a lot of talk too about a "one world currency", any thoughts on that?

This is one case where I believe your wife is correct. Money is not an island, and so a female's innate intuition about the importance of society is apropos in this case.

Physical gold is useful only in a very narrow band between loss of confidence in government and Mad Max apocalypse (and is not correlated to inflation rate or other gold buy nonsense). If we move towards apocalypse, then gold becomes useless and only food and ammo are barter. Remember I explained before that in a sudden anarchy where the people are not prepared to cope without the State (as happened in W. Europe and also Japan and others in a Dark Age and even the upthread link about recent war in Serbia), it becomes very dangerous to let word spread that you have gold by even trading it. It becomes a very illiquid and difficult to trade asset. And then on top of that, for the first time in the history of the world, governments are planning on eliminating the cash with which you could trade gold for in black markets. Again I reiterate that buying gold (and Bitcoin and the Dow a.k.a. DJIA) on the coming low in October and then selling the gold and DJIA (but not crypto-currency) in 2017 before the USA goes over the cliff, is very likely the correct trade. Only retain perhaps 2 - 5% of (liquid, i.e. not including real estate?) net worth in gold after 2017, and a large portion of the rest (of liquid net worth) hopefully into a widespread anonymous crypto-currency (or if that is not available, then into guns, ammo, and food and prayer).

If anyone is to succeed with bringing to the world an anonymous crypto-currency and internet, then they need to make it popular and something that all sorts of people in society use.

...

Truth, TPTB.  I don't have your prediction post number at hand either, but I well remember it.  Yes, you & Armstrong are one of the few non-trolly guys who predicted this.

Those of us, even saying we are stalwart HODLERS of Au, feel like we are taking a beating.  Still, it is diversification I am happy with (thank goodness I started buying decades ago).

What is even more of a pity is that my wife has prohibited me from buying more.  So, I will not.  I am OK with what I have, and it ain't goin' anywhere (except eventually to our kid).

The collapse in gold and Bitcoin is underway as predicted:

Heck I even predicted the exact recent top $315, back in May. I don't have time to go digging for that post. Perhaps someone else can find it in my archive.

This is really interesting I never knew this

Really have to wonder by reading all the above, how on Earth this morpheme of "United States of Europe" will form; and if it does, will it even be sustainable?

I can give you first hand info about Slovenia. Armstrong feeling about Slovenia is quite good. Chart of GDP growth published by Zarathustra is correct, but this growth is fake. People really should also look at the debt and then check for correlation.

We went into our real-estate/financial/pension crisis with low level of debt, today we are just like any other EU country - no more room for mistakes. We haven't really made any political/structural changes in the last 10-15 years. Our pension system is unsustainable and we are already taxed between 50-70%. Level of corruption is high (high % of GDP is government). Next crisis won't be fun.




I believe this chart tells you all about our fake recovery. Our companies are hurting due to high taxes, bloated government sector and regulations.



Check below why this is also fake?


I believe recent drop is only because many highly educated young people moved to Germany, Austria, Canada, USA, Australia, UK. We have around 20k newborns per year.
Mostly young and higly educated people that moved from Slovenia in the last years speak trully horrific story. I know many that moved.
People that left country:
2008    2009  2010  2011  2012  2013
1.930 1.969 2.331 3.888 7.905 5.392



We are not smart - maybe compared to the rest of Balkan (if you check IQ by nation), but we are highly socialistic country, people are still taught communist ideas even in universities. I am an anarchist and I have not yet been able to encounter similar people in our country.


Bullshit - totally opposite is true.

Hehe, that's is true. Let's not forget that our grandfathers killed around 200k people after the WW2, just because they were political opponents (mainly Serbs & Croats) of communistic ideas. We are for big unsustainable ideas.
