QUESTION: Martin:

 You write “Republics are the worst form of government, for every representative can be bribed.”

^That^ translates into “Republics are the worst form of government when every representative IS bribed.”

Is your statement equivalent to “Republics are a good form of government when every representative cannot be bribed?”

Given your opinion regarding republics, what is the best form of government?

Best…

kleroterion Athenian Vote

ANSWER: Not every representative sells out. The reason for this is the lack of term limits. Representatives need money to run the next election, and that makes them susceptible to lobbyists and bribes. The bribes are not like Nancy Pelosi seeking to make a ton of money for personal gain. It begins with trying to raise money for the next election. We should reestablish the Kleroterion, but with improvement to eliminate the flaws pointed out by Aristotle and others.

1 Career Politicians
Career Politicians

But we must also prohibit career politicians. The bureaucracy really runs the state, and the political class is supposed to oversee them, but when they are career politicians, they become one and the same. Politicians act on “staff recommendations,” which occur at every government level – local, county, state, federal, and international at the United Nations. We have NO SAY who represents us at the United Nations and secretly agrees with the World Health Organization of their Climate Change agenda. There is no democratic process in any of this.

The “elected” politician is just for show, in many cases, to pretend we have a democratic process. Try contacting your representative. You will be typically stonewalled and held at bay by their “staff,” which are the real Deep State, for they run the show and remain there, moving from one politician to the next. Try writing to a representative of another district – they usually will not accept it.

JFK Willingboro Oct 1960

More than sixty years ago today, on July 24, 1963, Bill Clinton shook hands with President John F. Kennedy when he was 16. Clinton says that handshake inspired his life of public service. Nearly thirty years later, in January 1993, Bill Clinton was sworn in as the 42nd president. I, too, shook John F. Kennedy’s hand when he was running for office in 1960. It did not inspire me to become president. Look at all the Secret Service people on the tops of the buildings. I remember every building was covered. Biden withheld sharpshooter protection from Trump for two years and refused to give RFK any protection. Was it Biden’s decision or the “staff” who really run the country? I believe the world saw that the emperor had no clothes, so to speak, after Biden’s last term. We witnessed a man in severe mental decline for the past four years. There is no way he could run the country. The deep state is in control, and a good portion of the public now realizes that the president is NOT always in control.

A few things need to happen for conditions to improve:

End lobbying: All elections should be funded by the taxpayer based on the number of signatures they gather

Committees should be based on their expertise. If I were there, it would be on a financial committee, not some medical committee. People are appointed to committees based on who they know rather than WHAT they know.

Athen had the Kleroterion, where names were selected for those who would fill a position. They should be prequalified for various positions.

The Inspector General should be a separate agency NOT subservient to the Executive or Department of Justice with the power to indict anyone in government.

Terms should be limited to a 2-year maximum — there is no room for career politicians.

Public servants MUST serve the people rather than their self-interests. “Politician” should not be a career choice but a role held by a member of our society who desires to SERVE the people by providing their expertise for a limited duration.

The Majority Must Always Be Wrong


Posted Dec 17, 2024 by Martin Armstrong 

You are all Wrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I am new to your blog. My friends here have been on my case to listen to you. Our government has fallen, and I have observed one thing. Your forecasts are correct because nobody here will ever make a bold forecast, and they all seem to preach the same scenario. You have been accurate on Germany against the herd of analysts here. One by one, European nations are falling, and I can now see your 2032 and the e collapse of governments unfolding before our eyes. What do you see in 2025 for Germany? You have a solution for the United States. Could you save Europe from itself?

Thank you

DT

Armstrong Majority must be Wrong

ANSWER: Because I am not an academic, what I speak comes from experience and direct observation. The only economic theories that have survived are exclusively from those who have been traders – not academics. John Law traded on the Amsterdam exchange and gave birth to Supply and Demand. He articulated his famous water vs diamond analogy, which stated that water was vital to society. Still, water had little value compared to a diamond that had no true utility value yet was worth more than water. Even David Ricardo was involved in trading and saw the implications of international capital flows. He expressed that a nation should focus on its comparative advantage – something Trump must understand.

Greek Hoard

Sir Thomas Gresham also traded on the same Amsterdam exchange and saw that debasement drove out the older coinage from the money supply. Gresham’s Law became that bad money drove good out of circulation. We saw this even during the 3rd century AD when people hoarded the old silver coins and spent the debased. Even Albert Einstein, I was told, got his idea of general relativity from moving up and down in an elevator. Albert’s special theory of relativity appeared to be incompatible with the gravitational force as described by Newton’s law of gravity.

May 1928 Fed Raises Rates

Most analysts espouse the same old nonsense and project the future based on what the central bank will or will not do. These analysts are not real, for all they purport is the same Keynesian theories they were taught in school. Sorry – they were an academic theory inspired by Marx and no longer work. Even Paul Volcker, former Fed Chairman, delivered his speech – the Rediscovery of the Business Cycle, in which he stated that the “new economics” ultimately failed. Any analyst who points to the Fed has never read the memos. Here, we have the thinking process before Keynes. The Fed raised rates in May 1928 and continued into the 1929 high with no effect.

CALLMONY MA

Here is a chart of call money rates from the NYSE. Just look closely. We see that 1929 was the biggest stock market rally but the lowest level of interest rates, all because of the capital inflows. The Panic of 1899 saw rates rise to virtually 200% because of the capital outflows. There is no such theory of stock market up interest rates down that can be verified whatsoever.

IBEUUS M Tech 12 16 24

You are correct. Europe is imploding one nation at a time. As I have said many times, the creation of the euro was a compromise, and it could never rival the dollar, forcing institutional investors to still pick and choose between member states lacking a national debt market. Mr Scholz is a disaster. He lost a vote of confidence by 394 to 207, with 116 members of the Bundestag abstaining. Scholz’s last-ditch attempt to retain power with promises of massive spending fell flat on its face. This will send Germany to the election in February, precisely when our computer has been projecting a Panic Cycle in advance. Leaders from several major parties have since agreed to move up the parliamentary election to February 23, seven months ahead of schedule.

EU Parliament
Europe can it be saved

I would gladly fly to Brussels to address all members at once. But you must understand the computer forecasts that my best efforts will not succeed. Each member retained its debt. If Germany listened, it would pressure others to follow or be left behind. But politicians have been brainwashed by the NEOCONs and NATO and are preparing for a third World War which the computer forecasts that they will lose. This will be the demise of the West. I suppose historically, we all have our minutes of fame.

Charlemagne 3

In 800AD, Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne (768-814AD) Holy Roman Emperor. Today, Charlemagne is referred to by some as the father of Europe. From that date, the EU is not likely to exist after 2029. Europe is heading in the wrong direction, and NATO is pushing for World War III, and there is not a single government even willing to negotiate. That makes it very hard. In all reality, I suspect they would only listen to me in 2029 and beyond.

ANSWER: I strongly suggest that this is the time to pay close attention to Socrates, for this clearly shows that something is seriously wrong. This is not confined to the United States alone. So review all the markets that you are interested in. This may be critical. We have a sovereign debt crisis. We added all the spreads between France and other European member states. We have confidence in government starting to decline and instability rising among various governments.

Most indices and markets we look at are starting to roll over, even Bitcoin, which has a target and Directional Change here in December. The global capital markets are not booming with euphoria thanks to the Trump victory. I hope this has nothing to do with the NEOCONs making a third attempt to eliminate their greatest threat to their power.

National_Guard_1953 postage stamp

I am concerned about this usurpation of the state’s military power in Congress’ newly unveiled annual defense bill that could soon be signed into law. The final version of this year’s National Defense Authorization Act is removing the National Guard Air defense to the Federal power. This is over the objections of some 55 state and territorial governors. WHY? This seems to be inspired by the threat of the States being able to resist the Feds. This is not a good sign.

Ruble M Tech 12 12 24

When we look at Russia, we also see December as a turning point and a move into February in the immediate future. The risk remains that NATO is trying desperately to create war with Russia before Trump takes office. My concern here is that they will create a false flag to blame Russia, just as the CIA proposed Project Northwoods to justify invading Cuba. We see a Directional Change for Russia next week.

LAST TWO WEEKS OF DECEMBER

Something is just not right. The capital is pinching up a change in the wind. So, Pay attention to Socrates at this point in time. Dec 12, 2024 by Martin Armstrong

Undermining the Debt Creates Recessions and Depressions


Posted originally on Dec 11, 2024 by Martin Armstrong |  

Bank Run 1931

Many mistakenly look to the stock market as the leading indication of economic security. The true culprit is the DEBT market, not the stock market, that leads to depressions and recessions. A recession, in comparison to a depression, is merely a minor impact that could be isolated to one nation. Unemployment will typically rise up to 10% in a recession, whereas a depression could see a 25%+ turn in unemployment. A lack of work leads to civil unrest and upheaval. Depressions are never isolated to one nation as they spread as a contagion throughout the world.

You could take the stock market down 30%, even 40%, and still not create a depression. Yet, if you undermine government debt by far less, you will create a severe economic downturn. Look to the banks. Under law, banks are required to use government debt as a reserve. Undermining government debt simply wipes out the banking industry as we have historically seen when bank after bank is forced to shutter.

During the Great Depression, sovereign defaults began in Europe. Look at what happened in 1931 when Europe defaulted on its debt, as did Asia and so forth since depressions become contagions. This pushed the dollar higher but not the US share market. Note that the dollar rose in value during World War I, the 1931 Sovereign Debt Crisis, and again for World War II. During those waves of capital flows, the bulk of that capital always moved into government bonds.

This is an oversimplified version of this message but you can read more on the 1931 Sovereign Debt Crisis throughout this website. Governments default and then that often leads to a regime change. The incoming regime will simply say, “Oh, that was the debt of the last government and we need not pay.” Listen, the stock market could plunge 20% and the banks would be OK. But if you saw the same in the debt market, in particular sovereign debt, you’re in serious trouble.

Cycles & the Next Generation

History Repeat Copy

COMMENT: When I ask someone about your theories, they claim you are unconventional. They said the same thing about Einstein and even Kynes in the early 1920s. It seems that anyone who thinks outside the box is labeled unconventional, but in the end, they adopt the very theories and become conventional. They seem to make history repeat, for they always defend their position, which is obviously wrong.

I just wanted to say that historical recurrence is not something new. It has played an important role in developing Western historiography since antiquity. I am sure you are well versed. The view that “history repeats itself” is characteristically Greek. They understood everything was cyclical from the observations of cosmic and social cycles. I believe you have explained that history repeats itself better than anyone. It is human nature for people to respond the same way to similar situations regardless of the century.

Your intention to hold a WEC for the next generation is vital. You are offering something academia will only acknowledge when they are forced into embarrassment as to place during the Great Depression. Only then did they turn to Keynes.

There are those of us willing to donate to such a project.

Please consider the importance of this for the next generation.

Paul

1965 Clad Quarter
Marius AE Antontinianus 268AD Gallic Empire

ANSWER: History repeats because human nature is constant regardless of the century. But it is often also driven by notions of retribution, rebirth, reenactment, and imitation. Both Hitler and Napoleon sought to resurrect the old Roman Empire. Because I witnessed the debasement of silver coinage in 1965 and was familiar with the debasement of Roman coinage and how they, too silver, plated bronze coinage to retain the appearance of silver as we created a nickel-clad coinage in 1965, as a kid, I instantly saw history repeating.

Here is a Roman coin of Marius (268AD). You can see that the silver plating is starting to wear off, revealing the core is merely bronze. Inflation was soaring, and President Kennedy signed an executive order to remove silver from the coinage in 1963. Here, we see in Rome that inflation also soared once emperor Valerian I (253-260AD) was captured in battle by the Persians – the first emperor to have even been captured. That also set in motion a financial panic where bankers were uncertain if they should even accept Roman coins anymore.

Bruno-2

By the middle of the second century BC, Rome, Polybius of Megalopolis, had written his Historiae to explain how Rome conquered the known world. These thirty-nine books received their finality after 146BC. At first, Polybius was interested in Greek affairs. He was stunned by the rise of Rome and its rapid expansion into an empire. He attempted what he would call universal history rather than just looking at Rome as a local aberration or fluke. His Anacyclōsis offered basic paradigms of historical recurrence that were below the surface. Indeed, Polybius established that studying history provided sound political training (cf. Hist. I, I,2).

Polybius’s famous discussion of the mixed character of Rome’s republican constitution is found in Book 6, chap. 5. It was certainly Polybius who presupposed that past events reflected various paradigmatic movements and patterns that would reemerge in current and future affairs. It seems that the Dark Ages, which saw the death of knowledge and independent thought in Europe, also altered our understanding of the world and cycles. 

They burned Giordano Bruno (1548–1600) alive at the stake for merely agreeing with Calpurnicus in suggesting that the Earth rotated around the sun. The stupidity of the closed-minded at that time saw Haven must be above and Hell was below, so if the Earth was not fixed, then all religion was wrong. Thus, burn him alive as a heretic.

I greatly appreciate the offer. We will do something like that, for I do not have the time to write a plan for students.

Syria – How Can the Computer Forecast Decades in Advance?

Syria Map

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I hope you come to Dubai for a conference next year. After your Syrian forecast that the civil war would end only 13 years from the start in 2011, those of us here are still in shock and awe, as you say there in the States. I know your models have considered the cycles in Syria from Roman times. Is 2027 still the target in the Middle East?

BAF

Seleucus I Nikator

ANSWER: Syria has a very long history. Antioch was the link to the Silk Road for all the dies and spices from Asia. As you can see, it is sandwiched between Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel. Historically, it has also been known as the Levant and a strategic chess piece in the global war of geopolitics. The Seleucid Empire was a Greek state in West Asia during the Hellenistic period. It was founded in 312BC by the Macedonian general Seleucus I Nikator (312-281BC) when the Macedonian Empire founded by Alexander the Great was divided after his death among his generals.

Pompey Magus AR Denarius

Thus, this became known as the Seleucid dynasty until its annexation by the Roman Republic under Pompey in 63 BC, who conquered the region, transforming Syria into a Roman province. This has lent Syria the opportunity to provide a rich database extending centuries for computer analysis. First, you must acknowledge that laws are always silent during war and civil unrest. They are the decorations of civilization and only apply when there is civil discord – not war and upheaval.

Elagabalus AR Syria Tetradrachm

The first Syrian to become a Roman Emperor was Elagabalus (218-222AD). This is always the same pattern of the conquered/slave eventually becoming king. Some pointed that out when Obama became President. This is a mere fact of history. The king is dead – long live the king. Another fact of history is when there is a civil uprising, the king may fall, but the victor quickly assumes the same policies as those he vanquished.

Charles I Cromwell

The English Civil War tore down the rule of law, and here you see Oliver Cromwell quickly issued coinage styled as the very king he had beheaded for daring to defend against him in the civil war. He put King Charles on trial, found him guilty for losing the civil war, and then beheaded him.

13 year war

Civil Wars tend to last 4.3 years (American Civil War), 8.6 years (English Civil War), and even 13 years (Cambodian Civil War, 1967-1975). However, go beyond that 8.6-year period, and it will extend to 13 years.

saddam_hussein_hanging

Countless times when there have been civil wars, you find the head of state when captured, is often executed. This seems to be standard. When they are dead, they will routinely topple their statues as they did throughout Eastern Europe, toppling the statues of Lenin.

The_Assassination_of_President_Lincoln_ _Currier_and_Ives_Armstrong Economics

Civil Wars always invoke deep hatred, and when leaders are not executed, what you find is often assassinations of the victor. They assassinated Julius Caesar after he won the civil war. These are cyclical patterns that routinely take place. There was an attempted assassination of Zelensky, and he fired his head of security because it was Ukrainians – not Russians. There was a similar attempted assassination of Hitler.

Assad Putin

Assad is wise to flee with his family to Russia, for they would have all been executed just as the Russian Revolution executed the entire family of the Czar. People who engaged in civil wars and/or revolutions always responded the same way, no matter what culture or nation was involved. The Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi also fled Iran in 1978 during that revolution. These things may appear to be a shock, but they are standard in the playbook of geopolitics.

I have previously warned that Turkey has the largest army in the Middle East, and Erdogan praised the Hamas attack because he dreams of resurrecting the Ottoman Empire and he sees himself as the leader. They are mortal enemies of Greece and that goes back to the fall of the Byzantine Empire. Turkey has funded these rebels, and that became possible only because Israel destroyed Hezbollah. On the one hand, you have the US cheering Al-Qaeda all because the Neocons have been trying for years to overthrow all three dictators they created in Syria, Iraq, and Libya. Now, they can get the pipeline from Qutar to cut off Russia’s energy sales to Europe. So this is all about Russia, Russia, Russia. Meanwhile, they are so fixated on conquering Russia that they have ignored the real threat in the Middle East of the resurrection of the Ottoman Empire.

I will update the prospects for war in the Middle East and the power vacuum that is unfolding that is hidden behind the headlines. Most people have no idea that it was the West that created all of these arab states. They were never independent nation-states.  With World War I, the West finally took down the Ottoman Empire. This was when the Sykes-Picot Agreement was established as a 1916 secret treaty between the United Kingdom and France, with the consent of Russia, Italy, and the United States. They were carving up the Ottoman Empire, which they mutually agreed to establish spheres of influence, thereby partitioning the Ottoman Empire. Syria was created, and the rule of Assad was in the economic interests of the West.

I have been asked why I do not write much about the Israeli war and offer a solution. There is NONE!!!! This is a religious war, and a ceasefire will only be temporary. Israel’s enemies is not limited to Iran. It also includes Turkey as we move forward in time.

Middle_East_2025

We will publish an update on the geopolitical future of the Middle East for the Arab world and Israel. This will be released in January.

Government’s Quest to Control AI and Mainatin Its Propaganda


Posted originally on Dec 2, 2024 by Martin Armstrong 

COMMENT #1: Dear Martin,

I listened to Joe Rogan’s podcast interview w/Marc Andreessen where Marc reported that the Biden administration has been secretly meeting with AI companies.
Their message: “Don’t even bother starting AI companies. There will only be 2-3 approved companies, and we’ll control them completely.”

It made me think of you and your ordeal, so many years ago.

Thank you for being on the right side of history.

Happy belated Thanksgiving ?

warmly,
RH

COMMENT #2: Wikipedia is a vile organization that is controlled by the Deep State when it has anything to do with politics, including health. I was there in Amsterdam the night of your film showing when those of us in the financial and banking community were invited. I remember well when the moderator asked you if you got to keep the claimed missing $1 billion, and you turned to the audience and asked if it was possible that $1 billion could be removed from a bank, but nobody knew where it was. The audience burst out in laughter. What these people did to you on not just a false charge but on a charge that was impossible, and organizations like Wikipedia will never report the truth is a warning to us all.

Thank you for your courage. I do not know many who could have survived what they put you through, from torture to attempting to kill you.

GVB

COMMENT #3 What the Biden administration did with dictating to social media over COVID was a clear warning to us all that even Wikipedia is a tool to manipulate society. What they did to you refusing to report that the bank is the one that pleaded guilty and had to repay all your clients demonstrates that Wikipedia is propaganda. We can no longer trust mainstream media; every social media aspect has been corrupted. This is why individual podcasts are becoming popular.  If you believe Wikipedia on anything political, you cannot possibly have a functioning brain. They have become the symbol of the decline of our society.

Gerry

Lenin on Press

REPLY: There is no question that those in power want to control AI and ensure it only puts out their propaganda. OMG, you ask it a question, and it tells the truth? That is just unacceptable. We are no different from the old USSR. That was Lenin’s view – control the press, and you can manipulate society. He has been proven correct time and time again. We are just a herd of sheep being led to the slaughter.

Target on my back

The computer I created and named Socrates has forecast every significant financial crisis and geopolitical event, including war. When the CIA wanted me to build the model for them in 1998 after it forecasted the collapse of Russia, I offered to run any study they wanted, but I was told they had to own it. I understand that was their view from a national security perspective, and nobody else should have that information. At the end of the day, I realize my refusal to turn over the source code has placed a target on my back. So be it. I didn’t realize developing AI would become a risk in a free society.

MA War Cycle 2011 WEC

Not only did I stand up at our World Economic Conference in December 2011, held in Philadelphia, and forecast that war would begin in 2014, but I even put on the blog in 2013 that the place it would begin was Ukraine – the country to watch.

FT June 27 1998

In June 1998, we held our World Economic Conference in London. Little did I know that a journalist from the London Financial Times was there and put our forecast that Russia would collapse on the front page in the weeks ahead. That appeared in the FT on June 27th, 1998. When that happened, the bankers blamed me, claiming I had too much influence, and instructed the CFTC to shut us down.

1998 Panic ECM

The computer had forecast Russia’s collapse, manifested in the Long-Term Capital Management Crisis in September 1998. That compelled the Federal Reserve to bail out the bankers and even a hedge fund since they were all on the same trade. They expected a never-ending 30%+ return on Russian debt (GKO) supported by the IMF. Still, the Economic Confidence Model had also projected the very day of the high years in advance for the stock market would be July 20th, 1998. Even the 911 attack took place precisely on the Pi Target during that wave, and the Dow Jones then bottomed precisely in 2002 on the very day of the end of that wave. All of those forecasts came true, and the bankers were just trying for the guaranteed trades, bribing the IMF and people in various governments, never risking a dime from their view.

Forecaster The Movie R

Let me explain something. To even do the movie on me, The Forecasteralso available on DVD, they had to be insured against slander, etc. Lloyds of London insured the film, and to do so, we had to prove that they wanted the computer code since that was NEVER publicly stated in the case openly. A client offered to rent the Institute to keep the forecasts going. I have been told that the bankers instructed the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to shut down our forecasting because they would always lose. Even in the film, one employee said he did his due diligence on my firm with Goldman Sachs before taking a job. He stated in the film that Goldman Sachs always thought they could crush me, but I usually won.

Yeltsin money_laundering_probe_widens_Aug._26_1999

I was asked to invest $10 billion into Hermitage Capital Management to take over Russia. They blackmailed Yeltsin owner a $7 billion money laundering scam to step down and they were going to install Boris Berezovsky as the new President of Russia. All the gold in Russia would go through the Republic National Bank in New York, and I was told I would get $100 billion back as my return. I refused. I was not into regime change.

2022_The Plot to Seize Russia Overview

That blackmail took place in June 1999, and they ran to the government claiming $1 billion was missing, and they had no idea where it was. The prosecutors were so stupid and never asked how someone gets $1 billion out of a bank with no trace. But why let reality stand in the way of a good prosecution in New York City, as Trump discovered?

Alan Cohen GS

Then, they appointed Alan Cohen receiver to run my company, which Goldman Sachs then hired. They ran Princeton Economics from the boardroom of Goldman Sachs. You object to this conflict of interest and are told to shut up. Trump discovered how a prosecutor is then raised to an “acting” judge who gets his case and Bannon. What luck from a random assignment.

COMMENT #1: Marty: It is painfully obvious why the bankers always tried to have the government silence you. Every aspect of what you forecast eventually unfolds, turning this random walk theory into propaganda. Bloomberg has reported that French corporate rates are now below government. The shift from Public to Private is right before our eyes.

Thank you for a fantastic WEC. I loved your passion for saving the country if they listen. I also want to enroll my children in your gift to society, a WEC for the next generation. It’s just brilliant.

As you predicted, corporate bonds of French companies now trade at yields below those of the government. Public to Private wave in full swing.

COMMENT #3: I was in Moscow on business, and you were on national TV. What does that say about America? I have seen you on French TV, but never in the USA. They want to keep us deaf, dumb, blind, and obedient. Tune in, and we will tell you when Kamala will sweep everything. MSNBC lost 40% of its viewers. Truth sells – not propaganda.

SG

Corp Treas

REPLY: We have the largest database of anyone on the planet, covering the globe internationally and with an unlimited scope, from finance to wealth, nature, and disease. When there were the Sovereign Defaults of 1931 in Europe, Asia, and South America, combined with the corporate bankruptcies, the flight to quality was to the US treasuries. Even the City of Detroit suspended its debt.  You see, the peak in the premium for corporate over treasuries was in 1932. That coincided with the low in the stock market. When FDR came into power on March 4, 1933, after winning the 1932 election, you can see that the premium in corporate rates began to decline. In Europe, corporate rates dropped below government as people began to smell a rat.
