COMMENT #1: I was there at your 2011 WEC. I was dragged along by a friend. I remember well your forecast for war starting in 2014 and your forecast that the Dow would go to 40,000. I thought you were crazy. I bet my friend $100 you would be wrong. I had to pay up. Here we are at 40,000 and the Ukraine war started in 2014. I have to admit, I now see why institutions line up at your door and the government wanted your model.
You are a gift to mankind when we need clarity more than ever.
Thank you. It was the best bet I ever lost.

COMMENT #2: everyone thought you were crazy years ago when you said dow 40000–here we are. it all came true.
ok see you soon
Brent
COMMENT #3: You are the only analyst who is consistent. I appreciate it is not your personal opinion like everyone else. That forecast the Dow would reach 40,000 is here and so is the war.
Stay safe. My whole family now listens to you.

REPLY: Because my father was a lawyer who always hoped he would put “and son” on the door, I disappointed him in that regard. For whatever reason, I was always fascinated by what made the rise and fall of markets as well as empires, nations, and city-states. He did teach me about law from probably 7 years old. He handed me Aristotle to read for one summer. I handed that to my son in the family tradition when he became a teenager. Yet he also instilled an interest in history. I bought my first Roman coin for $10, probably when I was 10 to 12 years old. I could hold history in the palm of my hand. I saw the US take silver out of the coins in 1965, and I saw the parallel to Rome and how the same pattern emerged.
I also have to thank him for seeing the future of computers and pushing me into computer engineering, where in the ’60s, we had to study hardware design as well as software. I learned to code in machine language and connected the dots between programming and trading in the ’70s. Taking the family to Europe for the summer of 1964 opened my eyes to the world of currencies since we traveled all over from Sweden to Italy and everything in between.
That all set the stage for this journey I have been on, which I never set out to accomplish. Nevertheless, because of that worldview instilled in me by my father, I saw the world of finance, and that 1964 trip taught me, moving from one current to the next, that my home currency was really a mental language of value. I would have to listen to the price in whatever currency and then convert that in my head back to dollars. Only then could I rationalize if it was a fair price or not.
Visiting jail cell of Athens
Thus, I designed Socrates to look at the world and determine who will do what, for everyone will make a judgment call based upon their home currency, which is a language of value in their head. Here, you can see how the same market appears differently depending on your currency. I chose the name Socrates because he was really accused of knowing too much. They put him on trial for influencing the youth and executed him for sharing that knowledge.
All of that set me on the path to where I am today, but it also taught me a lesson that opinions are not the way to forecast. I probably have more experience than most. I have been to White House dinners, been on a board of a bank, met with board members of IMF and heads of state, addressed boards of the largest banks internationally, been an international hedge fund manager, and been called in by so many central banks as well as testified before Congress and been called in for just about every financial crisis around the world. That’s just the shortlist.
Because I specialized in currency, that has put me in the middle of almost everything since the 1970s. Currency was the mover and shakers behind the politics of the world. It was far more than simply trading buy here and sell there. It is why the CFTC had even subpoenaed me, demanding a list of all my clients worldwide so they could prove I manipulated the world because I was too influential in their view. I defended in court and won. They were always seeking to shut down the forecasting.
History repeats because humanity never learns. These people who push for war have no end game. Nobody ever seems to ask – what comes next. They took down Saddam Hussein and never once asked: What would happen if you overthrew a government?
They are doing that again with Russia. Victoria Nuland is highly dangerous. She personally hates Russians, and nobody has a view of what would happen if you overthrew the Russian government. Would you then have nukes for sale on the black market?
I have been behind the curtain. I have never witnessed such evil and incompetent people in charge. I suppose this is necessary as we head into 2032. I want to stress that these forecasts are NOT my opinion. They are not based on anything other than the raw economics and capital flows. They are not based on religious philosophy, nor did I introduce astrology. They are the objective view of the computer, the ONLY fully functioning AI system in the world monitoring the global economy with a track record of nearly 50 years.
Yes, people are saying I should float it now. It would be worth hundreds of billions. I don’t have the time or the energy to take that on now, and I have more than enough to support me until Scotty beams me up. Nobody respectful has been beating down my door who would maintain my dream to ensure it helps the world – not a small WEF billionaire click.

What happened to this world? Admiral Rachel Levine was appointed as the U.S. Public Health Service, Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under Biden’s diversity cabinet. Does this look like the face of health to you? A video is recirculating during Black History Month as a reminder that Black Americans are disproportionately affected by climate change health concerns.
This video should make your head spin if you live in reality. Unfortunately, this is a real video funded by the US government, and not AI or a comedy sketch. This utter nonsense was first touted by none other than the World Economic Forum (WEF). Ruma Bhargava, the WEF Mental Health Lead, declared last year that “the impacts of climate change vary greatly between countries and population groups. This climate crisis is a deeply unfair one, with the poor being disproportionately affected.” Bhargava is renowned for targeting women and children in poverty-stricken areas of India.
The Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ), another unnecessary department created under Biden-Harris that has no relevance to our reality, now seeks funding to save Black Americans from climate change. The Biden Administration is spending BILLIONS on climate initiatives like the Environmental Protection Agency, which is set to receive $12 billion in funding this year. That marks a 19% increase in spending from 2023 or $1.9 billion.
“EPA is at the center of President Biden’s ambitious environmental agenda and the FY 2024 Budget will ensure the Agency delivers bold environmental actions and economic benefits for all. Coupled with the President’s historic investments in America through significant legislative accomplishments, the Budget will advance EPA’s mission across the board, boosting everything from our efforts to combat climate change, to delivering clean air, safe water, and healthy lands, to protecting communities from harmful chemicals, and to the continued restoration of capacity necessary to effectively implement these programs,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “Importantly, the Budget also supports our work to center environmental justice across all of the Agency’s programs, ensuring that no family, especially those living in overburdened and underserved areas, has to worry about the air they breathe, the water they drink, or the environmental safety of their communities.”
(Image of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, and not a war zone)
Do you get it yet? They are lying to the public about climate change for funding and power. Where were the funds for Maui or East Palestine? There are places in the US, like Flint, Michigan, that still do not have clean drinking water for their residents. The victims of Maui received pennies in comparison to the migrants, Ukraine, and Israel, while Biden forgot the derailment in East Palestine even occurred until about a year later.
The Biden Administration does NOT care about the environment, disadvantaged citizens, or anyone else. Yellen even admitted that the Inflation Reduction Act, America’s largest spending package, was a trojan horse to fund climate initiatives. The only climate they want to change is your reality.
The attached report on Global Weather for January 2024 Data has charts showing the relationship we tween CO2 growth and Temperature increases going up since we started to accurately measure CO2 in the atmosphere in 1958. These Charts were created by showing CO2 as a percent increase from when it was first measured in 1958, the Black plot, the scale is on the left and it shows CO2 going up by about ~34.0% from 1958 to January 2024. That is a very large change as anyone would have to agree.
Now how about temperature, well when we look at the percentage change in temperature also from 1958, using Kelvin (which does measure the actual change in heat), we find that the changes in global temperature (heat) is about ~.3% and may reach .5% by 2028. To even be able to see this minuscule change we had to reduce the scale of the CO2 axis by a factor of ten.
This Chart 8 uses unaltered values from NOAA and NASA properly displayed ,and the Blue and Yellow projections are created by Microsoft Excel not me.
The NOAA and NASA numbers tell us the story of the Changes in the planets Atmosphere As Carbon Dioxide goes up geometrically.
The attached 40 page report explains how this chart was developed .
“Setting a 2040 climate target will help European industry, investors, citizens and governments to make decisions in this decade that will keep the EU on track to meet its climate neutrality objective in 2050,” the Commission said in a press release. Last year was one of the warmest on record since 1850, as it was cyclically time for a warmer atmosphere. They refuse to look at data before 1850 as it does not support the psyop or climate fear-mongering.
What would be required to reach a 90% reduction in emissions? The entire structure of society would need to change, and new technology would be required. Fossil-fueled cars, buses, and planes could not exist, and any in existence would need to be destroyed. Transportation, in general, would need to be reestablished. Farming would need to be reinvented to produce the same if not more, food while remaining CO2-neutral. Every nation would need to create a brand new electrical grid that relies solely on alternative energy sources that could sustain the entire population. Cargo ships would need to find a new way to transport goods, and manufacturing in general would need to be reinvented. Every home would need to use renewable energy, and buildings would need to be transformed, if not entire cities.
We could all pass away and stop producing CO2, and that would still not be enough for the people in Brussels who are using this climate change psyops to tax the people endlessly. They have shifted from the COVID psyop to climate change. Changes in the weather are the new pretend emergency that requires total abandonment of life as we know it. Should we rely solely on horse and buggy systems for transportation and use candles rather than electricity? The only method to meet these unattainable goals would be to revert as a civilization entirely and live as our unevolved ancestors. But hey, at least they didn’t have to pay taxes.

Last weekend, some Climate Change Activists entered the Louvre Museum in Paris and splashed carrot soup on the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. Those involved in this Climate Change agenda are complete fools, and it is easy to see how brainwashed these people are, just like some young Arab convinced he will get 73 virgins if he blows himself up. I know someone who interviewed one of the masterminds behind terrorism, and he concluded that they would never do what they tell these young kids to do by killing themselves.
These people are so brainwashed that they are attacking famous oil paintings to protest against fossil fuels, which were not even discovered until hundreds of years after these paintings were made. Another brainwashed idiot did the same thing at the Whitney Museum in New York City. Oil paintings are not made with crude oil but Linseed oil, also known as flaxseed oil or flax oil, obtained from the dried, ripened seeds of the flax plant. I suppose they should go to Greece and protest making olive oil. That must surely be risking total extinction.
The Mona Lisa wasn’t damaged because it is behind bullet-proof glass. Still, there is something seriously wrong with the Climate Change lunatics. They are attacking art because they are oil paintings. Yet these idiots will never amount to anything in life and would also blow themselves up if some guru told them to do so.

Now they're coming for your coffee.☕️😂
Swiss banker and World Economic Forum "agenda contributor", Hubert Keller: "The coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of coffee… Every time we drink coffee, we are basically putting CO2 into the… pic.twitter.com/cQUcKLluGR
The ruling elites want to strip us of all our earthly pleasures. Swiss banker Hubert Keller took to the stage at Davos to declare that coffee consumption is destroying the climate.
“The coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of coffee… Every time we drink coffee, we are basically putting CO2 into the atmosphere,” Keller stated. Every time we BREATHE, we are “putting CO2 into the atmosphere” and this argument is completely absurd. Life cannot exist on Earth without CO2. Surely they serve coffee on Mr. Keller’s private jet.
The World Economic Forum first presented this idea in August 2016 in an article entitled, “Your morning coffee is destroying the planet.”The article begins by discussing the waste of plastic cups – OK, fine, pollution is an undeniable problem. This was also when Keurig machines and coffee pods became popular. It seemed reasonable to find a plastic alternative, but that was merely a way to plant the seed.
Coffee agriculture is a significant global market. The annual revenue of the global coffee industry is estimated to exceed $200 billion, with over 25 million farming households depending on coffee bean production for their living. Global coffee production reached 168.5 million 60-kilogram bags as of 2021/2022, and coffee is commercially produced in more than 50 countries. The United States coffee industry alone is responsible for nearly 1.7 million American jobs and $225 billion of national Gross Domestic Product.
The global market for coffee shops is projected to reach $237.6 billion by 2025. Countless mom-and-pop shops are centered around the world’s second most popular beverage. Coffee is ingrained in countless cultures throughout the world. It is part of our daily routine and way of life. Interestingly, his warnings come at a time when Starbucks plans to expand into China and is defying the WEF by siding with Palestine in the Israel-Palestine war.
YOU WILL OWN NOTHING, including coffee production, according to the WEF:
“The opportunity is to basically bring capital for return in this value chain, to basically, you know, acquire or lease these coffee assets, these monoculture coffee assets, to transform them to a regenerative agroforestry model. In doing so we would create effectively a climate and a nature premium which will have a lot of value for these parts of the value chain that can inset these climate and the nature premium and you end up with basically coffee plantations that are fully regenerative, that are sequestering carbon, that are positive for nature, that are restoring biodiversity, and that basically are creating better value for an asset that has a longer life without actually the consumer paying any more for its daily coffee.”
“A regenerative agroforestry model” is precisely what farming has always been and there is no need to redesign the wheel. The WEF introduced the concept in 2019 in an article entitled, “How regenerative agroforestry could solve the climate crisis.” The article claims that farming, the most essential industry for our survival, has contributed to 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and is the cause of 80% of deforestation. The latter is the key here – they want the land in order to seize the means of production.
The globalists claim that “land use efficiency” needs to improve by 2030. They have already implemented restrictions on fertilizers and taxed the life out of farmers. I mentioned in another article how US farmers are unable to pass their land onto the next generation due to the death tax. Globalists like Bill Gates have been buying countless acres of farmland to prepare for the next step. Farmers throughout the world are protesting the increased regulations, but you won’t see that covered by the media.
The ultimate plan is to force farmers to lease their land. You will own nothing, but they will own everything.
