QUESTION: Hi Martin,
Thank you so much for sharing the connections Socrates is making between seemingly unrelated ideas. I’m a high school/collegiate science teacher and am wondering if Socrates has identified any correlations between coming astronomical phenomenon (like lunar phases or planetary alignment) to war or the economy. The information you’ve provided on the Sun has been amazing!
BTW, my students and I use the information you blog about as the foundation for the conversations in our Socratic seminars.
Thanks for all you do!

ANSWER: I have never input the planetary information into Socrates. The Moon is capable of picking up the ocean and moving it creating a high and low tide. I would think it can have some influence on people but probably highly differential because we are all perhaps sensitive to various things on an unequal basis. The terms “lunatic” and stories of werewolves are all about people who were sensitive to the moon.
The attempt to correlate the heavens and events on earth as omens of the future date back to the Babylonians. I have been asked this question many times because some of our dates may align with some astronomical phenomena. I would look at it as a separate model. Our Arrays have some 72 different models. They are not a single cycle. There are many. Even take volatility. How do you define it? We have overnight volatility from today’s close to tomorrow’s open. Then there is internal volatility which is the percentage movement between high and low for the day. Then there can be closing volatility measured from yesterday’s close to today and likewise between openings. There are many aspects that the computer is looking at and then it correlates between markets, countries, etc. There are far too many calculations for any individual to do every day.
After my experience with cycles, they go through inversion processes where the same targets remain fixed, but instead of a low, it becomes a high. I would suspect that attempts to use astronomical phenomena will result in the same outcome. The same event will not always produce a high or low. This simply takes place because every market is influenced by everything else around it. It really takes a supercomputer to work out the countless possibilities.
That is why I say my opinion is just personal. Anytime I have thought something would happen which Socrates has disagreed with, I am the one who is wrong. So I have learned. My job is to provide some clarity, but it is not to forecast the future from a personal opinion perspective. Forecasting Civil Unrest was not something that came to me in the middle of the night. It is not even something I personally would have preferred to see.
And BTW, I have been a programmer all my life. I do not see how it is possible for a program to EVER become aware of itself and then dominate humanity. I can mimic human emotion, but I cannot create it for real. And to set the record straight, I have been the ONLY coder on the AI systems behind Socrates. This has been my life’s work. We have a whole team of programmers who manage the delivery systems. But as for the AI, in all honesty, I had the skill to program, I also had the skill to trade, but I also had the clients to show me with a front-row seat how they all look at the world economy from their own perspective. That is why there is no competition for Socrates. It has taken over 50 years to create what you see.
It is also why nobody wants to address Socrates because it changes the entire forecasting game where people advise they are the guy who forecasts some event so see what he is saying next. Personal forecasting is not consistent.
COMMENT: Hi Martin,
I wanted to comment about the blog posting ‘Fauci Belongs in Prison’. Having three children on remote learning by choice because we refuse to subject them to the draconian lockdowns at the school and mandatory mask requirements. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t Hitler say something like, “Forget about the adults, we want the children”, and those children turned out to be the killers in WWII.
Unfortunately, we have been able to witness the school’s systems brainwashing propaganda machine in action with our children. In the first week of school our son in middle school was tasked to watching videos with Fauci and Gates about masks, vaccinations, social distancing, etc. The same brainwashing machine was at work with our elementary school students, but it was being directed from the teachers. It is frightening to watch this in action!
My son loves to challenge the teachers with questions, with the information he also reads with me on your blog.
Keep up the awesome work, you are also getting the truth to our kids!
All the best,
KC
REPLY: Schools are teaching their particular political beliefs which is wrong. It is no different than teaching religion in school and saying all others are wrong. Regardless if this is right or left, there should be neutrality and children should not be indoctrinated in such a manner. They never teach the fundamental difference between leftist economics and right. Take Thomas Piketty. The left always insists that to achieve their goals, all opposition must be suppressed. To achieve his equality, others who enjoy working and achievement must be robbed of the fruits of their labor to redistribute to others who hate to work or lack the same talents.
Just because Tennis star Roger Federer is at the top of Forbes’ annual rankings of the “World’s 100 Highest-Paid Athletes” earning $106.3 million, under Piketty, that is unfair and is the problem creating inequality because the rest of us cannot earn even $1 million to play Tennis.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
My family has been here since before the Revolution and fought for freedom from England. My cousin still has the musket he used in the Revolution. Everything that is being taught about equality is simply Marxism. We are all equal in rights, not in talents. Nobody would pay me even $100,000 to play a game of Tennis. That does not mean Roger Federer has oppressed me despite the fact we have never met. The Declaration of Independence is what was supposed to govern our society – not lockdowns and oppressions.
COMMENT: If Gates and company are so intent on population reduction, then why not let the fake virus kill off more people? Stop masking and distancing and all the other rubbish and let the disease spread like wildfire. Doesn’t make sense in some respects.
TM
REPLY: I agree. Let it all happen and if it is so lethal, then pray it will be like the Black Plague and reduce the population by 50%. The problem has been that they know it is not serious, but they are using it to expand authoritative power. They imposed masks to break up human interaction; they also imposed social distancing, which has destroyed retail businesses and has even threatened our way of life to the point that only 8% of office workers returned to New York City. They want to end commuting so that we will all work from home with no cars.
They are already talking about imposing lockdowns to now save the planet as well. We are dealing with academics who do not even step into the real world. They fail to understand human nature so they keep imposing Marxist philosophy and swear this time it will work but they need an iron fist at first to show us they care.
The evidence that this is all fake and is being carried out for political purposes is just overwhelming. Even the Chief Science Officer for Pfizer said,”Second Wave” Faked on False-Positive COVID Tests, “Pandemic is Over.”
The day of both sides working together are gone. There is something seriously wrong. We have politicians around the world acting ruthlessly, which shows they have no concern about standing for election, which is really strange. Are they being bought to ignore all the objective evidence?
The nation was shocked as surveillance video showed earlier this month as a person ambushed and shot two sheriff’s deputies while they sat in their patrol car in Compton. Both deputies were shot in the head and face; however, they were able to radio for help as they triaged their injuries. The entire event was horrific.
Today investigators arrested a suspect and District Attorney Jackie Lacy said attempted murder charges have been filed against 36-year-old Deonte Lee Murray.
Los Angeles – Investigators have arrested and charged a man in connection with the shooting of two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies earlier this month as they sat in a squad car, authorities said Wednesday.
Attempted murder charges were filed against Deonte Lee Murray, 36, District Attorney Jackie Lacey said in a press conference.
Murray was arrested two weeks ago in connection with a separate carjacking and he was expected to be arraigned later Wednesday. (more)
There are rising concerns that Boris Johnson fought for BREXIT so he could run into the arms of Bill Gates and the UN consortium including Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum pushing for this Globalist Agenda with even George Soros. Some are deeply concerned has Boris been bought by Gates? If someone demands an investigation, will Boris suspend Parliament as Trudeau did in Canada?
COMMENT: Hi Martin and Team,
I have been following your blog daily ever since The Forecaster was broadcast ed in the Netherlands about five years ago. I have good news! Talking with my daughter of 20 years old tonight she told me she was aware of the 7 year count down to the end of the world on a building in the US. She and her peers on social media are laughing it off big time. This was so much good news to me, you cant believe. My gut feel is Gates cum sui are catching the middle aged people who have much to loose and not so much the youth. For me that gives me hope.
Keep up the good work!!

REPLY: You are very lucky. There seems to be a gap. The 35+ are against their parents perhaps in the majority and as this video shows, they have captured a lot of teenagers to engage in violent protests. This group is in part funded by George Soros. They are vowing not to accept a Trump victory. They are being taught to be authoritarian and anti-Democratic.
Those in their 20s seem to be skeptical and are like an island in between two left-leaning groups who are not sure they are even left. A friend of mine had his son cut off all communicate over climate change and that was BEFORE the COVID propaganda. This is really tearing the nation apart.
It’s the Supreme Court’s fault for not striking down progressive taxation which allows this entire class warfare argument. As I have stated, there should be no direct income tax as the Founding Fathers established. It has been all downhill since the 1913 Amendment to create income taxes changing the Constitution allowing the rise of Marxism Communism/Socialism.
Everyone should be treated fairly. People like Gates dump all the money in his Foundation and he then uses that tax-free without paying any taxes at all on that money.
Sometimes it is important to try to look at markets from an interrelated perspective. Here is the Dow/Gold Ratio which shows the extreme high in the Dow when gold made its historic low in 1999. We then see that gold rallied into 2011 against the Dow, but since that high, the Dow has been gaining ground over gold until the ratio peaked in 2018. While the Dow rallied to make a new record high into the Jan/Feb 2020 time period, it was again underperforming gold and it was declining from its 2018 high which curiously aligned with the Russel 2000 high in 2018.
With all the political chaos around the world and this clear coordinated trend using this virus to further the real goal of Climate Change, the deliberate scheme to crush the economy to prepare for Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset being pushed by the World Economic Forum, there is clearly some unsettling trends unfolding around the world.
Gold has NOT broken out yet in all currencies. In Japanese yen, it has still not made a new record high above 2013 as has been the case in Dollars and even Euro. This implies that the trend for gold is still in an upward bias which may last into the first quarter of 2021.
The DAX in Germany looks more like the Dow whereby it too has not made a new high beyond the 1st quarter. However, when we plot the Dax in terms of US dollars, we get a drastically different pattern all impacted by the currency. Indeed, despite all the evidence and high ranking officials in Germany Merkel is intending to lockdown Germany AGAIN! (see Merkel 2nd lockdown) German ministers warn that lockdowns kill more people than they save, yet Merkel ignores them, as well as Pfizer.
The computer has projected the rise in Civil Unrest and this will only increase post-US election moving into 2022 and then into 2024. As much as it is getting tiring with all this political back and forth, by far, we are not even limited to the United States. We have major elections in 2021 and 2022 around the world. With politics becoming so polarized, we MUST keep an eye on the big picture. As I have said, previous presidential elections in the USA were no big deal. If your candidate lost, you simply moved on and it really had little impact because the DEEP STATE was really in control and the agenda rarely changed other than perhaps taxes. This time it is very different. Capital is being driven around the world not out of investment opportunity, but out of political fear.
The likelihood of life returning to normal is very slim. This agenda is all about Climate Change and my RELIABLE inside sources in London are talking about lockdowns that may be necessary to save the planet. This seems to be more of a trial run to crush the world economy as we have known it. I always enjoyed going to New York City during the Christmas season to see the tree and the cheer. That will not happen in 2020 and it may not happen in 2021 either. There is clearly a UN agenda lurking behind this trend.
We have China & Russia seeking to break away from the Western monetary system and are preparing to reject the SWIFT system altogether. The more hostile the West becomes toward both, the greater the probability that as we head into 2032, the world economy will not just split, it will fragment as well.
With Trudeau suspending Parliament in Canada which was investigating corruption involving him and his family, there is certainly something very strange to see all of these politicians so willing to lockdown their people and undermine their economies creating debts that can never be repaid.
This makes it IMPERATIVE to rely on our computer system which is monitoring the entire world for we will need to track the capital flows to understand the future direction of all markets, we will need to comprehend both the political shifts as well as the debt markets combined with currencies. We have our work cut out for us. If we do not monitor the entire world, there is no way to avoid the crazy trends driven by foreign events.
Over the last few decades, Americans have enjoyed an ever-increasing love affair with the games of college and professional football. Eventually, the National Football League (NFL) surpassed Major League Baseball to become the country’s top sports attraction.
Unfortunately, in recent years, political activism has interfered with Americans being able to enjoy the game. It started to move in a disturbing direction in 2016 when San Francisco Forty-Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick decided to protest during the playing of the National Anthem before the start of each game. His kneeling protest was adopted by other players, causing an uproar in the country. The practice continued in 2017 but diminished during the last two seasons.
Everything changed with the death of George Floyd in May of this year. Street protests have led to shootings, rioting, looting and the destruction of property worth billions of dollars. Even more troubling, police officers and protesters have been injured and killed.
These protests have migrated into many sporting events, including the game of football, both in the NFL and in the collegiate level, where the top conference is the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The current policy of the SEC is for all players to stay in the locker room while the National Anthem is performed, but the protests have been expressed in other ways.
Prior to the start of Saturday’s Ole Miss vs. Florida match-up, players and coaches took a knee “to acknowledge the unrest in our country surrounding the treatment of African Americans. We will continue to support social justice efforts as members of the Southeastern Conference and members of our respective communities.”
Vanderbilt University players displayed social messages on their helmets. There are 15 approved messages, including “Black Lives Matter,” and “No Justice No Peace.” Players for the universities of Georgia and Arkansas wore “equality” patches on their jerseys.
While college football players protested, NFL players have spent the past several weeks expressing outrage at police brutality and the treatment of African Americans in our country. The league decided to play the song “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” known as the “Black National Anthem,” prior to the start of all the games during the first week.
During the first few weeks of the season, a variety of players have protested either by remaining in the locker room during pre-game ceremonies or by raising a fist or kneeling while the National Anthem was performed. These actions were approved by the NFL, which changed its stance on the issue.
In fact, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell apologized for the league. He said, “We, the NFL, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of Black People. We, the NFL, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest.”
Along with Goodell’s apology and on-field symbolism, the NFL became financially involved in the issue by pledging $250 million in donations over a ten-year period to combat “systemic racism.”
Undoubtedly, these actions are popular with players and those who believe in social justice activism. However, there are plenty of fans who feel otherwise, and will take out their frustration by not watching football on television.
Diminished ratings will severely hurt the NFL during this pandemic because the league’s revenues will be much lower since stadium attendance is either extremely limited or not permitted at all.
As the 2020 season has now moved into week three, it seems that television viewers are leaving in droves. For last Thursday night’s NFL game, the television ratings sank to a four year low with only 5.43 million viewers, barely edging the viewership for the ABC show Celebrity Family Feud.
This entire year has been a ratings disaster for the NFL with both Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football experiencing massive declines in viewership.
There is a simple explanation for why this is occurring. Millions of Americans want to watch football as a distraction from their everyday troubles. For these viewers, the last thing they want is to be reminded of the national political battles on the football field or during league sponsored lectures masquerading as commercials.
If athletes want to get involved in politics, they should run for elected office. If they want to be involved in the criminal justice system, they should become police officers, lawyers, or judges. If they want to become social justice warriors, they should sign up to work as counselors or volunteer with a community based non-profit organization helping those in need. Otherwise, they can play football, or other sports, and do their activism on their own time, as opposed to doing it while hard working Americans are watching on television.
Unless the NFL and college football change course, the television viewership will never return to full strength. In fact, it is already too late for some viewers who left forever because of their disgust with the politicization of athletics.
This exact scenario worried the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, who speculated that the activism may hurt the NFL’s football ratings. He noted that the majority of his team’s fans recognize “what this great country is and what this flag stands for.”
Yes, Mr. Jones, not only your fans, but most NFL fans also appreciate the greatness of this country and our American Flag. As we can see from the decline in ratings, social justice activism is not as popular as good old-fashioned patriotism.
I was raised Catholic, but that never stood in the way of understanding law. I remember when I was just 10 years old my father taking me to Willingboro, New Jersey to see John F. Kennedy in person. I actually met President John F. Kennedy and shook his hand as a kid that day on Oct. 16, 1960, but unlike Bill Clinton, it did not inspire me to become President. I remember as a kid walking around and hearing people bash Kennedy because he was Catholic saying the Pope will run America. There is no doubt that the vast majority of immigrants to America were Protestant and as such the old hatreds rose their head and they will no doubt regarding Amy Coney Barrett.
Former President Harry Truman actually said that Kennedy should withdraw his name for nomination the night before the Democratic Convention. During the 1950s prejudices against Catholics were dominant and were preached by some Protestant ministers. On October 20, 1951, President Harry Truman nominated former General Mark Clark to be the United States emissary to the Vatican. Clark was forced to withdraw his nomination on January 13, 1952, following protests from Texas Senator Tom Connally and Protestant groups. Mark Clark was baptized Episcopalian and his mother was Jewish. Connally did not want any representative at the Vatican.
Indeed, during the 1960 election Prominent Protestant spokesmen, led by Billy Graham and Norman Vincent Peale, organized Protestant ministers by warning that the Pope would be giving orders to a Kennedy White House. Many established evangelical groups were mobilized.
It is interesting for the extreme left demand the Democrats stop the nomination of the Supreme Court and even call it illegitimate clinging to this conspiracy that Trump was put in office by Putin. The Democrats have little power to actually derail Trump’s pick. Nevertheless, they are applying considerable pressure for the Democrats to be obstructive and use every tactic at their disposal to not just obstruct but to portray the consideration as a farce that shouldn’t even occur. Of course, there is no such precedent for this nonsense, especially when justices do not always vote even party lines – i.e. Chief Justice Roberts.
Now the left is arguing that she should be investigated to see how she adopted two children from Haiti. As I have stated, I have read her work and she is a STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST which is the best we can hope for. It was Justice Scalia who reform the sentencing procedures were judges were violating the constitution deciding facts that only a jury was authorized to determine. So, this will be interesting. How to bash Barrett for being Catholic while having two black children which shows she is not a racist so they are turning that into something like hiring illegal aliens. They cannot be promoting Biden as only the second Catholic to become president why bashing her because she if Catholic and somehow the Pope will dictate her decisions which never took place with JFK. This is the ultimate paradox.
I have created this site to help people have fun in the kitchen. I write about enjoying life both in and out of my kitchen. Life is short! Make the most of it and enjoy!
