California Takes DNA of Every Baby Born


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption

Re-Posted May 16, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

In California, the DNA of every baby born is being stored by the state. The real question is WHY? Then comes the next question: Who has access? Once that data is stored, any law enforcement agency can get its hands on it. What people do not know is that taking DNA of ANYONE in your family exposes the entire family to be a suspect in any crime. There are cases where the DNA of one person came up with a close match for another crime so they knew a family member was involved. Interesting how the MOST liberal state that claims to cherish the rights of individuals has become the most oppressive.

The Rise of Populism and the Backlash Against the Elites, with Nick Clegg and Jonathan Haidt


Published on Dec 5, 2016

Filmed at the Emmanuel Centre in London on 21st November 2016. What is going on in the Western democracies? From Britain’s vote for Brexit, to Donald Trump’s election victory in America and the growth of populist movements across Europe, voters are expressing their dissatisfaction with the status quo. Economic anxieties go some way to explain the phenomenon, but as with the Brexit decision, people are voting in ways that seem – at least to their critics – likely to harm their own material interests just to give the establishment a bloody nose. In this special Intelligence Squared event, renowned American social psychologist Jonathan Haidt and politician Nick Clegg will examine the complex web of social, moral and political concerns that are driving the unrest. How can we explain the new illiberalism that is growing on both left and right, as authoritarian trends spread across campuses throughout the Anglosphere (the no-platforming of speakers being a typical example)? How should we understand the new ‘culture war’ emerging in Britain, America and elsewhere between the ‘globalists’ and ‘nationalists’? As deputy prime minister during the Coalition government, Clegg witnessed the upheaval in British politics from the inside. Haidt, author of the acclaimed bestseller The Righteous Mind, has long been studying the moral and cultural drives that divide people into different political camps.

Jonathan Haidt: The Globalist Blind-Spot


Published on Oct 15, 2017

Jonathan David Haidt (born October 19, 1963) is an American social psychologist and Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University’s Stern School of Business. His academic specialization is the psychology of morality and the moral emotions. Haidt is the author of two books: The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom (2006) and The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion (2012). He is also founder of the Heterodox Academy to support viewpoint diversity in academia: https://heterodoxacademy.org/ On Nov 21, 2016 Jonathan Haidt was interviewed at the Emmanuel Centre in London about “The Rise of Populism and the Backlash Against the Elites”. I edited the following highlight video with a focus on the topic of the globalist blind-spot of the left. Full clip quoted under fair use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gZ5U…

The Complexity & Fractal Nature of Nature


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate

Re-Posted May 15, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

They have recently confirmed that not merely are the Milankovitch Cycles correct, but there is a fractal nature to everything as well as a cycle that sits on top of everything so far. They have determined that there is an approximate 405,000-year cycle in the shape of the Earth’s orbit that shifts from almost perfectly circular to slightly elliptical. There are complex interactions between the planets Venus and Jupiter, which then distort the orbit of the Earth even more. Scientists have been able to trace this back to about 50 million years. Because there are so many variables, it all becomes very difficult to extend their research further back in time.

The Precession of the Equinox really works out to be 25,800 years, which is three times 8.6. This frequency comes from something and that is most likely nature. I would bet that instead of a 405,000-year cycle, it is probably 430,000 years. The cycle of the energy output of the Sun has been estimated from ice core samples to be 300 years. That really works out to be 309.6 years.

They too confirmed that the flipping of the poles takes place on a cycle between 200,000 and 300,000. That was determined from drilling core samples into rock. The data I was provided for the Mayan Report was from the seabed. That also came up with a little more accurate number of 720,000 years for what appears to be major reversals. There is most likely a build up in intensity that will follow half and quarter cycle intervals. That means there should be some minor shift at the 360,000 and 180,000 intervals.

How nature works is extremely complex. There are people who think it can be reduced to human activity. We are not even as significant as a fly on the rear-end of an elephant.

Malaysian Election Demonstrates the Wave of Political Change of Trump, BREXIT, Italy, Spain, etc is still in motion


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted May 14, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT #1: You were right. You said there would be a political change here in Malaysia in 2018 at your Bangkok conference. How do you do this? I am coming to Singapore.

COMMENT#2: Wind of change has swept through Malaysia on May 9th as incumbent Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition 61-year rule since 1957 Independence was ended after people rose up to reject a super corrupt and tyranny regime. An opposition coalition called Pakatan Harapan (PH) form a new federal govt, the first time in our history we have a peaceful transition of power.

People are fed up with BN blatant corruption like 1MDB scandal, abuse of power whereby cases of whistleblowers that expose politicians corruption are charge and sentenced to jail while the perpetrators still walk free and holding senior govt positions!

But the hard work has just begun as the new govt inherit a mess from decades of mismanagement, corruption, and abuse of power. Reform in judicial, executive and legislative branches are badly needed. Also, our country is facing a severe debt crisis due to our corrupt politician’s insatiable appetite to borrow.

Socrates forecast of this global trend is indeed amazing. A new Malaysia is born.

REPLY:  Malaysia’s former leader Mahathir Mohamad, 92, won the election last week, which has shocked everyone for they said it could not be done. This election is part of the same movement globally where we are witnessing a rising up of the people against the corruption of governments that have been ruling in general since World War II. This wave of political change brought Trump to power, BRXIT, Hungary election against the EU, Catalonia rising up in Spain, and the Italian election just to mention a few.

This year, 2018, in the case of Malaysia, was 72 years from the April 1st, 1946 event when the Straits Settlements were dissolved and replaced by the Malayan Union, which was conceived to unify the Malay Peninsula under a single government. Then in 1956, a constitutional conference proposed the appointment of the Reid Commission to devise a constitution for a fully self-governing and independent Federation of Malaya. In February that year, talks between representatives of the government of Malaya and Malayan Communist Party sought to resolve the Malayan Emergency situation. Therefore, 2018 was on a very simplistic way, the convergence of two important cycles – the 72-year cycle and two Pi cycles of 62 years. However, we will see the culmination of the full political reform finally come to pass in 2043. Malaysia is still in the transition period. Do not expect the corruption to go quietly into the night.

The corruption in Malaysia was far deeper than anyone suspected. I explained that previously and the involvement of Goldman Sachs. True, this has been a political earthquake that toppled the scandal-plagued premier. Ousting his regime that has ruled for over six decades is easier said than done. Behind the curtain, there are way too many bureaucrats who benefit from the corruption. So while the people delivered a political triumph that, like Trump, almost no one had predicted, the end of the grip of the power of the Barisan Nasional party which has ruled Malaysia since its birth as an independent country will indeed be a struggle going forward.

Mahathir previously ruled the country with also an iron fist for 22 years. You can replace the head of state, but the corruption never ends there. It has infected every possible level of government. This is why revolution often ends up the only final recourse because the bureaucracy is far too often the real problem. So the final victory will come more likely in 2043.
