QUESTION: Sir,

Let’s assume a minute that all countries around the World (all Central Banks together) sit with you and say: Mr Martin, fine, you are absolutely right in your forecasts and now we are listening to you. What should we do to solve all our problems like debts, socialism, trades, etc and have a prosperous growth in the World? Now my question Sir:

Is it possible to find a way to resolve those problems (with you)  or are we stack in an inevitable cycle in the World, which last already for centuries and will continue for ever?

Thanks

ANSWER: What you suggest would be reasonable. However, he who has the power rules the world. The solution is to listen to the free markets which are driven by humanity and our actions. But to create a real solution until we corrupt everything again necessitates government admitting they cannot control the world and this would mean they must relinquish power. I personally do not see that ever happening for why did Marxism fail? He took all the wealth from what he saw as greedy individuals and handed it greedy politicians. Humanity is humanity. It cannot be altered. There will always people who seek drugs and there will always be prostitution, corruption, and politicians just as there will always be a cycle.

Of course you can bet all governments read us just as the NSA grabs every email, phone call, and SMS. Even the French TV interview that played the FORECASTER and then question Mr. Sapin, the head of finance in France. So there is no question they are all aware of our model. Even Margaret Thatcher spoke at our conference, which was in itself an endorsement of our models. You had the central bank of China admit they are using capital flow models, which we invented.

Nevertheless, what you are suggesting is those in power really care about society rather then themselves. I do not believe they are ready for reform. There has to be blood flowing in the streets before we reach that end. I am here in Athens. Yes people are fed up with politicians. However, the pain has not yet reached a sufficient level to lead to political change for real just yet. Alexis Tsipras won in Greece not simply because he was there nor did the Greek people vote for him assuming he would do what he said this time. They voted for him because every other politicians is seen as corrupt and has been involved in one scandal or another. He won for the same reason Donald Trump rose sharply. Tsipras was not the established politician.

If all governments were to actually listen and put the people before their personal greed and power, yes we would resolve the debt crisis that will tear down society because this time it is different. When the economy has crash as in the Great Depression, there was no pension system guaranteed by the government. As a result, government could stand up and claim they will get the rich bastards who caused it. Today, it is government who has gone to extremes and the people have planned their future upon expecting government promises were real. So this time, the outrage will be much greater because everyone is affected, not just select groups.

So the object of this exercise is to survive individually. Government will crash and burn for it is hopeless to expect these people will every do anything to help society. It is always all about them. This is just a fact of history and we should not expect anything magnanimous from them. Politicians will not lay down power willingly as long as they cling to hope of ruling the world be it only in their dreams.
