Germany on the Threshold of an Unprecedented Radicalization

Maassen Hans-Georg

The president of the German secret service, Hans-Georg Maassen, has come out and warned that the uncontrolled immigration has created a serious safety risk to Germany because the authorities no longer know who is in the country. If people think U.S. politics are going in the gutter, look at Germany where politicians have created a clash between polarized left and right-wing extremism. Maassen warned that an Islamist or right-wing attack in Germany could lead to an explosion of social unrest. Maassen has virtually shown that Merkel’s decisions have placed Germany at serious risk, but has also fueled the movement to end the Eurozone.

Merkel’s decision happened at the worst possible timing. As the European economy turns down further, the cost of the refugees will send taxes even higher. The civil unrest our model has been predicting is on schedule. It is linked to the economy and when that turns down, this cycle will turn up.

tony-blair

U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair has recognized something those in office either do not see or refuse to admit. Blair said at the Abu Dhabi that Donald Trump’s wins in the U.S. primary elections are disturbing for they illustrate that there is a rising popularity of insurgent political movements around the world. The mismanagement of decades of career politicians and the total state of complete corruption in every branch of government is pushing the population to rise up against the establishment everywhere. Blair told the conference: “Sometimes I look at politics today and wonder if I still understand it.”

Meanwhile, establishment Republicans are now vowing to stop Trump. They say he is no “conservative” but in fact what they really say off camera is he is not one of them. They are scared to death that if Trump gets in, it will not be business as usual. This is the civil war building. It is career politicians against the people. They are personalizing this as Donald Trump rather than looking broadly that Trump is just Ross Perot 2.0. It could be anyone who is an outsider. Trump just has the money to fund this without selling his soul to the elite political pacs.

The coming Collapse of the EU

Re-Posted Mar 1, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

EU Flag 300

Our long-term projection models targeted March 13/14th, 2016 for when the confidence in the EU would begin to crack much more profoundly among the average community. Indeed, the general view about the EU’s future has begun to to just plummet as reported in every member state (28 in total) with the exception of just three: member states, most strikingly in the Netherlands and Germany, where people are now overwhelmingly negative about the outlook for the union. Where the EU remains with the smallest amount of pessimists is actually Ireland coming in at 20% with Greece leading the pack at 63%. The pessimism has increased by 20% in the past year alone. It appears the computer has again successfully targeted the correct period but this feat is accomplished by looking at the business cycle. It is very clear that once the cycle turns down, confidence collapses.

UK - Euro Flags

BREXITIn Britain, 44% of the population are now against staying in the EU. Clearly, the number one issue has been the wholesale migration ushered in by Merkel or Islamic hordes. David Cameron announced the referendum would take place June 23rd. He initially agreed to such a vote because he never thought in a million years the British would vote to get out. Now the polls have narrowed and despite the media supporting Cameron and the EU, they seem unlikely to with their brainwashing campaign to stay in Europe. Despite the fact that Cameron has been trying to use scare-tactics against his pwn people to stay in the EU, he has also said that his authority rests on holding the vote on British membership, and that does not mean winning it. Cameron has no plans on stepping down if the people vote to for BREXIT. The likelihood of the British votes being rigged is EXTREMELY HIGH, because Brussels fear a contagion and since 25 out of 28 member states have seen extremely high pessimistic view of Brussels, you are looking at a massive loss of government jobs so it is unlikely Brussels will simply go quietly into the light.

TTIP will fail more taxes do not stimulate growth!

1-ECM 2032

QUESTION: 

Dear Mr. Armstrong,

Your article on the trend set in motion with reference to Trump was fantastic. The world and how it ticks is truly fascinating, your work in investigating how it does so is worthy of any prize and will surely go down in history as the greatest investigation into humanity of all time. Always building on the work done by previous great minds and expanding on it.

Globalisation is a feature you predicted with the ECM you developed. Recently I came across the TTIP program – Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. I was wondering if this is a feature of the trend towards globalisation which you saw possible? Is it possible that we could see a massive trade and investment peak before the crash and burn? Or is it crash and burn first with a spike in gold and then start a fresh? The “crash and burn” event you spoke of. Is this crash and burn of government ?
(the drop after 2030 looks pretty serious on the ECM) It seems that the degree of corruption “behind the curtain” is a webbed network around the globe…..people I think are waking up to the level of totalitarianism enforced upon them by powerful government circles, unknown names, unknown faces……the pot seems ready boil over

ANSWER: The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) will be a failure. There is nothing governments can do to stimulate the world economy. To encourage trade, you do not support the reporting among nations that will begin in 2017. You do not impose a global tax on companies, as proposed by the IMF. You do not keep increasing enforcement on taxes while claiming that you are expanding the world economy. So do not expect some surge in global trade.

There is nothing we can do to alter the business cycle. The West will crash and burn, and the global economy will rise from the ashes in Asia — not Europe or the U.S. Gold and tangible assets will make the transition from one monetary system to the next. It has nothing to do with the quantity of money. It has to do with a collapse in confidence in the state. That is what we are witnessing with Trump right now. The pundits are fools. They think they can attack Trump to hold on to their elite status and power. Sorry, that is just not the way this works. They will never reform because they will not admit that they have ever done anything wrong.

Amid Growing Backlash Pope Francis and The Vatican Back Down Urgently – (W/ Viral EU Video)…


The Pope’s comments were totally out of line with a mam of the cloth of any religion — but this was “Totally” inappropriate for the catholic Pope. I glad I’m Russian Orthodox not a Catholic.

MUSLIM REFUGEES WELCOMED TO CANADA WITH CALL TO “DESTROY” THE ENEMIES OF ISLAM


Anyone who has actually studied the Islamic cult understands the problems that this group of misguided people proscribe to. Bringing any of them into a country is insane.

Russia Just Took Trump’s Advice And UNLEASHED HELL On ISIS! WHOA!


Putin knows what he is doing with ISIS “Bomb the Sh** out of them,” as Trump would say — while Obama does his best to support his Muslim friends ISIS, what a loser he is.

India & The Hunt for Money

Re-Posted Feb 13, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Pan-Card

COMMENT:

hi marty, i am from india. You ve no idea how much your blogs have helped me understand the duplicity of our governments. The Government has made mandatory registering our PAN card with the dealer for any purchase made for even as low as 2 lakh rupees (3600 dollars). They are literally hunting for money.They take everything from us and provide nothing. Thanks a lot. Please keep up the good work.

INDIA-Y 2-13-2016

REPLY: I follow India closely as well. The Pan card (Permanent Account Number) is a code that acts as identification of Indians for tax purposes. They are hunting money in all forms from cash to gold. This culminates in 2017 when the G20 begins sharing info on everyone. Anybody with a foreign account will be revealed to their government. This is why government is collapsing. There is not enough money in the system to satisfy their demands.

In part, it has been the rising aggression for taxation that help to push the stock market to new highs. When in the 2012 report we warned India would make new highs, many wrote and asked if Socrates was drunk? How could we call for new record highs in India and not in China? The markets tell you where things are going if you just listen.

Libya is “Hillary’s War” – Released emails Show Depth of Hillary Clinton Ownership…


We had four clowns playing games that they had no idea what the rules even were; Obama, Clinton, Rice and Powers. I would bet that Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett were also involved so it was the blind leading the bind and Obama was not capable of going up against five women. So we got what we got and lots of people died and the media covered this up so we also got 4 more years of Obama — what a deal!
