Influencing the Future


FT 1998 Martin Armstrong June 27, 1998 Rubble of the Rouble

QUESTION: Marty; My cousin in Britain who works in the government said the governments are acting insane because of your model. They timed the Covid-19 pandemic to coincide with your turning point January 18, 2020, and then the lockdowns are because your model has been forecasting the rise in civil unrest and then the collapse of the monetary system. He said there is not a government that does not follow your models after Margaret Thatcher and your forecast for the collapse of Russia in 1998.

Do you ever consider not publishing when you have that much influence?

anonymous

ANSWER: There are aspects and certain models I will not publish. I spent 7 years in contempt for refusing to turn over the source code to my models. The movie “The Forecaster” could NEVER have been made without insurance against slander and libel. The New York boys were after the model — the source code to be precise. They even put that in writing so I had to provide all the documentation for Llyods of London to insure the production of the film. If every allegation could not be proved, they would never have been able to make the film. The government was given the opportunity to be in the film and give their side. They refuse to ever cooperate with the producers. I was released ONLY because I got into the Supreme Court which ordered the government to explain how I could be held for 7 years on a statute that stated civil contempt maximum is 18 months – 28 USC 1826.

CNN Theft of IMF Money – Sep. 1, 1999

CNN even reported first that the money laundering involved stolen funds from the IMF loans. They quickly buried that truth to hide it from the public. The movie has been played around the world, but it was banned in America. Why? Only because it hit home. Curious how not even Fox News will report what took place in 2000. The USA, under the Clintons, interfered with the Russian elections of 2000 and that is how Putin came to power.

Why do you think everyone tried to avoid our forecasts and pretend Socrates does not even exist? They would not dare to report that we have created the only fully-functioning Artificial Intelligence computer in the world. They do not like what it forecasts because it exposes the truth.

Perhaps you are correct and everything they are trying to do is because of our model. It still changes nothing. At best, it merely will increase volatility. They are looking to cancel the currencies and move to digital currencies because the monetary system is collapsing. The ECB lowered rates to negative in 2014, and 6 years later, their experiment has failed. They are now trapped and cannot raise rates. There is no place to hide.

Government officials reach out all the time. Even Nigel Farage had the courage to speak at our World Economic Conference in Rome, stating bluntly because we were the “alternative to Davos,” which is now even more apparent as we are head-to-head against Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum in league with Gates.

This collapse would have taken place without me. I do not believe Gates follows our model. Perhaps others convinced him to use January 18, 2020, for his timing. However, if he really respected Socrates, he would see his own demise.

So your question is interesting. I do not believe I have that sort of influence or they would listen and NOT try to defeat the model. I have no desire to go through all of this craziness. As I have said, I wish Star Trek was real. I would be screaming right now — “Scotty! Beam me UP!”

 

Separatists Want to Break Away from Scotland


A separatist movement has begun within Scotland. Now, the Orkney islands are following Shetland in demanding independence from Scotland itself. This is part of a widening global trend; as the government begins to crumble internally, separatist movements will begin. We will see this also appear in the United States after the elections. Some people want to separate from the USA, taking California, Oregon, and Washington if Trump wins. We should support that if they take Bill Gates with them, and perhaps then we can revoke any passport to allow travel to the USA.

.

SECURING HISTORIC AGREEMENTS: President Donald J. Trump hosted the official signing ceremony for the historic peace agreements between Israel and Arab nations.

 

* Today, President Trump presided over the signing ceremony at the White House to establish the foundation of the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).

+ Bahrain also accepted the President’s invitation to participate in the ceremony, following their agreement with Israel last week.

* In August, the President secured an agreement to normalize relations between the U.A.E. and Israel – the first such agreement between Israel and a major Arab country since 1994.

* The countries have committed to the exchange of embassies and ambassadors, and to begin cooperation across a broad range of fields including education, healthcare, trade, and security.

* This deal is only the beginning of normalized relations between Israel and its neighbors, with many more likely to come.

♦PROMOTING PEACE AND SECURITY: These agreements are leading to peace between Israel and the Middle East, as well as increased security in the region.

* The deal between Israel and the U.A.E. will strengthen peace in the region by giving Muslims increased access to the Al Aqsa Mosque for peaceful prayer.

+ This will counter the extremists who use the false narrative that the Al Aqsa Mosque is under attack and that Muslims cannot pray at this holy site.

* The Israel-Bahrain agreement further enhances the security of both nations while creating opportunities for them to deepen their economic ties.

* Both agreements are a result of President Trump’s efforts to rebuild trust with our regional partners and move them away from conflicts of the past.

* Thanks to the President’s bold foreign policy vision and his deal-making ability, nations across the region are realizing the benefits of his thoughtful approach.

♦FACILITATING A REGIONAL TRANSFORMATION: President Trump’s policies are leading to the most rapid geopolitical transformation of the Arab world in more than a generation.

* President Trump has fully rejected the failed foreign policy approaches of the past that helped stoke division and did nothing to prevent conflict in the Middle East.

* Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, the nations across the Middle East and Africa are increasingly working together to build a more peaceful and prosperous future.

* Normalized relations will accelerate growth and economic opportunity across the region by expanding business and financial ties.

* The agreements with Bahrain and the U.A.E. will help to advance President Trump’s vision for finding a fair and lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

* The United States will continue to stand with the people of the region as they work to build a brighter, more hopeful future.

Trump Administration Announces “Withhold Release Orders” Targeting China’s Use of Forced Labor in Xinjiang Region…


Those who have followed the Trump administration’s decoupling strategy will note the potential conflict from within this approach is a ‘nothing to lose’ proposition from Donald Trump’s perspective.

The Trump administration announced today the Department of Homeland Security, via U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, are about to start blocking the import of products from five specific entities in western China’s Xinjiang region.  The objective is to block products that come from forced Uighur labor in Xinjiang, China.

The authority comes from U.S. “Withhold Release Orders” (WRO’s) that allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection to detain shipments based on suspicion of forced-labor involvement under long-standing U.S. laws to combat human trafficking, child labor and other human rights abuses.  Ken Cuccinelli explains to Lou Dobbs.

.

At first blush this might seem detrimental to the objectives of the U.S-China Phase-One trade deal. However, if you have followed the decoupling process closely; including the warnings given by Trump to U.S. multinationals; you will note there is no specific downside to this confrontation.

Wall Street, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the multinationals represented by K-Street lobbyists in DC will obviously go bananas; however, at this point in the 2020 election -and I swear this is incredibly astute and strategic timing- there’s no political value in attacking President Trump over a policy against forced labor.

Think about it…. Are the democrats or their allies on Wall Street really going to start demanding that President Trump’s global trade policy include accepting forced labor, slavery and child exploitation?  A democrat campaign message to “make slavery great again”? Of course not…. ergo, strategic brilliance. A brilliance that actually circles directly back to the longer-term goal of decoupling from Beijing.

wASHINGTON – DHS said Xinjiang entities whose products will be blocked from entering the United States include all products made with labor from the Lop County No. 4 Vocational Skills Education and Training Center; hair products from the Lop County Hair Product Industrial Park; apparel produced by Yili Zhouwan Garment Manufacturing and Baodung LYSZD Trade and Business Co.; cotton produced and processed by Xinjiang Junggar Cotton and Linen Co. Ltd; and computer parts made by Hefei Bitland Information Technology Co. Ltd.

President Donald Trump’s administration is ratcheting up pressure on China over its treatment of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, where the United Nations cites credible reports that about 1 million Muslims held in camps have been put to work.

China denies mistreatment of the Uighurs and says the camps are vocational training centers needed to fight extremism.

 

Trump triumphs as PLO continues to dig its own grave


Whilst Trump triumphs–the recalcitrant and rejectionist PLO continues to dig its own grave

Trump triumphs as PLO continues to dig its own grave

President Trump’s announcement on September 11 that Israel would shortly be signing a peace treaty with a fourth Arab State—Bahrain—and possibly several others very soon—has triggered a spiteful response from Saeb Erekat, Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Trump offered the Palestinians a lifeline

“Bahrain has agreed to join Israel and the United Arab Emirates … at the White House on Tuesday [September 15 –ed].  So they’ll be here on Tuesday for the signing of the Abraham Accords.  The significance of the signing will be elevated from an already historic breakthrough to one representing a previously unthinkable regional transformation.  And that’s exactly what it is.  It’s unthinkable that this could happen, and so fast.”

Trump emphasised his considerable achievements:

When I took office, the Middle East was in a state of absolute chaos.  I’ve restored trust with our regional partners, and together we’ve eliminated the ISIS caliphate 100 percent; isolated the radicals who pervert Islam and sow instability.  Today, nations across the region and throughout the world are joining together, united in their determination to build a better future, free from the evils which perpetuate terror.  And I think you see that.  I think you see that happening very, very strongly.

Trump offered the Palestinians this lifeline:

 “I think the Palestinians are going to end up doing something that’s going to be very smart for them.  And all their friends are coming into this, and they want to come into it—they want to come into it very badly.

And I can see a lot of good things happening with respect to the Palestinians, which would be really wonderful.  Whether you are on their side or not on their side, people want to see it all brought to an end, and brought to an end quickly.  So that’s going to be very important.”

Erekat’s vitriolic personal attack on Trump’s son-in-law Kushner

Erekat’s reply—reported by the Palestine News and Information Agency—was reprehensible:

”[Erekat] said that this free normalization is bizarre as it comes through Jared Kushner, senior advisor to US President Donald Trump, who is a mixture of ignorance and an extremist Zionist who believes that the historic land of Israel is from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea and that the Arab regimes are bound by a peace treaty even though they are not at war with Israel, rather only the Palestinian people are at war with Israel.”

Erekat’s vitriolic personal attack on Trump’s son-in-law Kushner has got Jew-hatred written all over it and will backfire badly.

Erekat clarified the PLO was still pushing the outdated 2002 Arab Peace Initiative and rejecting Trump’s 2020 deal of the century:

”[Erekat] stressed that what is required is to drain the occupation quagmire as stipulated in the Arab Peace Initiative. As for normalization before this is done, then it is accepting that Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre remain under Israeli sovereignty, which was what came in the so-called “deal of the century.” This is a major treachery.

Trump is rapidly advancing peace between the Arabs and the Jews

Regarding what happened in the meeting of Arab foreign ministers held virtually on Wednesday, Erekat said that the Arab League approved all the decisions except the one that condemns those who deviate from the Arab Peace Initiative, which some countries have objected to, and therefore it was dropped by Palestine so that no one will go to Washington to participate in the normalization steps or support them and say they went with an Arab or Palestinian cover.”

Trump is rapidly advancing peace between the Arabs and the Jews at a pace never before seen in the last 100 years.

Whilst Trump triumphs—the recalcitrant and rejectionist PLO continues to dig its own grave.

Drastic Food Shortages in China


Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping has come out officially acknowledging the food crisis in China by asking people not to waste food. China’s rice farmers are fighting insects and weeds the traditional way by bringing in hungry ducks. Meanwhile, China is facing serious shortages of both grains and pork. Months of flooding have wiped out the crops while insect infestations attack the rice fields. Then there is simultaneously the rapidly spreading African swine fever (ASF) which is now even starting to make its way into Europe. On top of all of this has been the orchestrated Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) which may have been deliberately leaked from the lab there by people who planned this take over of the world with a New Green World Order.

As I have mentioned before, these people have succeeded in subjugating Europe. They need to overthrow Trump to subjugate the USA. They are seeking to force Western investors from hedge funds to pension funds to sell all Chinese investments to force them to comply with their demands. Trump could not date talk about this prior to the election, for the media is in the pocket of these people and would call him a conspiracy nut not worthy of the office. Investigating all the people behind this convenient plan must be done carefully. I believe that the media MUST be ordered to be unbiased and present both sides or they lose their license as propaganda.

Paris Erupts into Protests Against Macron & Lockdowns


Today in Paris, many thousands of “yellow vests” took to the streets to demonstrate against French President Emmanuel Macron and the French government over its draconian lockdowns and CORONA restrictions. This was a massive riot where police not only used tear gas and batons, they were firing both rubber bullets and live ammunition. These lockdowns are by no means about taking care of people. This is raw tyranny and we will see if they even stand for election in 2021/2022.

The next French Presidential election will begin Friday, April 8, 2022. What is interesting is when we look at the Quarterly Array on the French CAC-40, it is clearly showing the first quarter will be very volatile. This is clearly the impact of the French elections and there is a deep concern that Macron will even suspend the elections under the pretense of a national emergency as we saw in New Zealand. The protests of the “yellow vests” against Macron began back in November 2018. They were initially triggered by rising fuel prices and a pension reform plan. We are looking at sheer political chaos in France as the elections will come 43 months from the beginning of these protests (50% of 86).

Comment from Sweden


COMMENT:

Hi, yesterday it was reported that the monthly official testing for covid of 2500 randomly selected persons in all of Sweden (totally ca 10 million) showed exactly ZERO covid cases in August. During the peak of the outbreak in April such testing showed merely 0,9% and in May 0,3%. These figures are officially presented to be calculated as statistically safe and sound numbers, thus representing the broad picture of the true situation in the country. Local regional variances or outbreaks may occur, but it will not affect the broad picture statistically.

Additionally, there have been several official testing for anti-bodies of covid randomly within the country’s population. These tests have confirmed that about 1/6 to 1/5 of the population has indeed already anti-bodies of covid, which means in fact that the curiously enough mockered ”herd-immunity” theory works quite well in reality with the spread of this covid virus. This is the natural cycle of all viruses throughout history of mankind, starting long before Bill Gates promoted his investments into vaccines together with WHO, UN, most of the media and the power-grabbing political elite class (while sipping champagne in Davos with some few 007-Specterlike megalomania investors).

Sweden has almost no covid patients in intensive care any more. The intensive care departments for covid are even completely empty in many hospitals. Some main State regional university hospitals start to go back from emergency work mode to normal work mode. Low paid nurses are actually being laid off in significant numbers, after being applauded by the scared public on the balconies and from the windows at 8 pm every day since the middle of March. ”Thank you for the coffee” without being served coffee, as we would say in Sweden with indignation and displeasure.

The total number of deaths in the country this year is very normal, even a bit lower than normal.
The persons who died with (not necessarily because of) covid, including our sparky and strong great-grandmother at 95 rip, had a higher average age of 88 than the average life time in the country being 82 for men and 85 for women.

It must be noted in the light of the above facts, that Sweden never had any Lockdowns nor any mandatory Masks during this virus pandemic (by definition not yet near a real epidemic!).
Restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, hair salons, training facilities and schools etc have been open all the time during the covid scare. The restrictions were really only about crowding of max 50, now 500 but probably increasing further soon, and about the illogical distance learning only in high-schools and universities (exams and tests were funny enough allowed in crowded halls). Seemingly this was just to passify the curious and critical teenagers and young adults from gathering in high schools, universities as well as in and around the soccer stadiums.
Interestingly, we hade many aggressive journalists, especially from Germany and UK, on the Public Health Authority’s press conferences during April-June when Sweden refused Lockdowns and Masks in stark contrast to the US and EU locking down their citizens with police enforcing totalitarian curfews and masks on etc. Now the international media has vanished from these pressers and the aggressive and very insinuating questions about the need of Lockdowns and Masks in Sweden echoes in silience.

The case of Sweden, with 10 million citizens out of 8-9 million living in non-rural areas, has proven that Lockdowns and Mask have been a big scam from the beginning. Covid disappeared during summer without Lockdowns and Mask, as the flu seasonality does every summer. Now it will come to some flu again, maybe covid again because of the World locking down and avoiding herd immunity. But if not covid, so another virus like every year.

Covid in Sweden:
• No more total deaths this year than normal.
• No decrease of the average life time this year.
• Covid herd immunity of 20% with anti-bodies achieved during spring/summer.
• Empty intensive care units.
• No cases in August.
• No Lockdowns.
• No Masks.

Nevertheless, our economy (incl negative GDP growth, blocked imports/exports, broken consumer confidence, paused investments, jobless rates and new Gov debts etc) is also destroyed due to the reckless and coordinated fear-mongering. The lack of Lockdowns and Masks have not been a fact because the elite did not want to enforce such totalitarian restrictions, but they realized at the top rather quickly that Swedes would simply refuse and risk to apply the old ”sacred” tradition of so called ”civil disobedience” in thousands.

Keep up your invaluable and amazing work for the little people and for the virtues of truth, knowledge and freedom!

Kind regards,

HJ

REPLY: I do not see these billionaire dropouts winning. People like Klaus Schwab have used their influence to lobby politicians to impose, by force, this Utopian Great Reset. This will only lead to civil unrest and blood in the streets. They will claim they are protecting us from ourselves, so we must surrender all of our freedoms for the sake of Democracy. They are seriously deranged people who sit around talking to each other and never with anyone in the real world, for we are the great unwashed and too stupid to understand what they alone can envision.
