Ten years ago, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel began the migrant crisis after uttering, “Wir schaffen das” (“We can do this”) and declaring that Germany was a safe haven for all refugees. In a recent interview with ARD, Merkel was asked to reflect on her 2015 decision that permanently altered the European landscape. To the surprise of no one, she feels no remorse.
“It was clear to me that this would be something truly challenging,” Merkel said. She congratulated herself for not using force to prevent refugees from entering. Over 800,000 Syrian refugees entered Germany in 2015 alone. The cultural landscape of Europe is unrecognizable today and budgets have imploded in an effort to maintain the migrant population.
Merkel does have one regret—strengthening the Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party. The AfD campaigns on the promise of securing domestic interests first and foremost, which no other political party is willing to do. The people of Germany have turned to the AfD Party at a record pace because they have witnessed the failed policies of recent history, with the migrant crisis being only one of countless variables ailing Deutschland.
Merkel only received 16,233,642 votes during the 2013 election, which was 37.2% of the popular vote of Germany. So the majority of Germans never wanted these policies to start. She assumed she could revitalize the German economy to shift from export-dominated to domestic consumption. That was another failed fantasy, similar to the EU’s attempt to end wars by creating a single unified government. The immigrants, whom she thought would boost the German economy, added to the deficit. She declared that there would be no limit to the number of Syrian refugees accepted, and expected to be honored like a pious deity for her actions. She had no plan or budget for how to accommodate such a large influx of newcomers.
People, mostly unaccompanied males, from throughout the undeveloped world flocked to Germany and spread out around Europe. The majority have never left. Brussels, at the guidance of globalist entities, later forced all of Europe to open their borders. This is a crisis that the continent will be grappling with for years to come, but make no mistake about it—Angela Merkel alone is directly responsible for starting the migrant crisis and permanently altering European civilization.

The NATO war in Ukraine is essentially lost. Russia holds the strongest position against Kyiv and its supporters. President Donald Trump is set to take office in the USA raising new questions over Europeans’ trade relations, elimination of the Marshal Plan, and EU spending on their own common defense. Then add the slow-motion collapse of Trudeau’s Canadian government, and consider…
…Hungary has rebuked the Brussels control agenda. Georgia has rejected NATO and the EU’s manipulation. The government of France, essentially Germany’s most powerful partner leading the European Union, collapsed on a few short weeks ago. And now Germany, Europe’s largest economy, will be in the hands of a caretaker government until they can organize elections early next year.
When the control mechanisms of the totalitarian left fail, we see the machinery tremoring slowly, slowly, until suddenly, all at once it freezes.
GERMANY – The German government collapsed on Monday as Chancellor Olaf Scholz lost a confidence vote in Parliament, deepening a crisis of leadership across Europe at a time of mounting economic and security challenges.
[…] On Monday, German lawmakers voted to dissolve the existing government by a vote of 394 to 207, with 116 abstaining.
Coming just nine months before parliamentary elections had been scheduled to happen, the vote was an extraordinary moment for Germany. The elections, now expected on Feb. 23, will be only the fourth snap election in the 75 years since the modern state was founded. The moment reflects a new era of more fractious and unstable politics in a country long known for durable coalitions built on plodding consensus.
Mr. Scholz had little choice but to take the unusual step of calling for the confidence vote after his three-party coalition splintered in November, ending months of bitter internal squabbling and leaving him without a parliamentary majority to pass laws or a budget.
But the country’s political uncertainty is likely to last a month or more, with a new permanent government not forming until parties have agreed on a coalition, probably in April or May.
Seven parties will go into the campaign for Parliament with a realistic chance of gaining seats, and some on the political fringes — especially on the right — are poised for strong showings, according to polls. Mr. Scholz is widely expected to be ousted as chancellor (read more)
Biden put pressure on the President of Afghanistan not to tell the world that the Taliban were winning to create the “perception” that the Taliban weren’t winning, “whether it’s true or not.” A transcript of the phone call exposes the lies of the White House that they did not know what was happening. They knew, screwed it up, and then have lied about everything. This is an Administration all about lies. Biden then tells the nation that his withdrawal has been an “exceptional success” just before this leaked transcript emerges. He left even hundreds of journalists behind.
The Biden Administration is circumventing the FDA demanding booster shots and they have been on board with COVID passports to be administered by the World Health Organization funded by Gates and the Rockefeller Foundations.
This is what our computer, Socrates, has been forecasting. This is the collapse of the CONFIDENCE in government as we move into 2022. I have been warning that even gold does not rise with regard to inflation or the debt people keep preaching year after year. When the national debt hit $1 trillion, gold peaked at $875. The national debt is now approaching $29 trillion and under their theory that has cost so many people their life savings, gold should be 29x that price which would be $25,375.
In November 1979, there were rumors of a Soviet invasion in troop movements. They invaded the day before Christmas in hopes of catching everyone off guard. We can see that gold rallied from $373 to $875 in just 12 weeks and it was all about confidence. Jimmy Carter was the president who was at least a genuinely nice guy, but incompetent as president. Now we have once more an incompetent president but he is not a nice guy. The rally in gold back then had NOTHING to do with the rise in debt nor with inflation. It was a rally on the collapse in confidence that the stability of the world was crumbling before everyone’s eyes. When World War III did not appear to be on the horizon, gold declines while they were preaching inflation and debt, but the market ignored those factors as it has once more today.
We have Panic Cycles in politics in 2022 and then again in 2024. We have the opportunity to take back all our countries in 2022 from the USA, Europe, and Australia. It is up to us to stand up and exert our political pressure to defeat these elitists who always think they know best and we are the hated Great Unwashed they view as rats that have overrun their playground. Our computer, Socrates, they have feared like Stalin who executed Kondratieff because Stalin too did not like a forecast that said the Soviet Union would fail. This Great Cabal (Gates-Schwab-Soros), will also fail but they will not go without a fight. Far too many who take money from Gates have no problem using COVID as a military tactic to end our freedom. They know that a coronavirus can NEVER be eradicated for it will reside in animals and come back every season like the Bird Flu, then Swin Flu, etc. So they are using COVID to destroy our freedom knowing that it will always be here so they lie to the people and create a never-ending military suppression.
They have waged a war against Socrates and me personally and even tried to have me killed. After being in a coma for about one week, I survived to their dismay. The movie on me, the Forecaster, was insured by Llyods of London. Every allegation in that movie had to be proven to get the insurance. I had it in writing that they demanded the source code.
Socrates, not me, projects chaos ahead in 2022 politically, in markets, and in public confidence. This is a battle they are waging to seize the world and reshape it in their own image. They can kill me, destroy Socrates, but it will change nothing. They are doomed by their own arrogance.
COMMENT: Marty, your forecasts have been amazingly correct years in advance and then we get to watch other analysts coming in at the last minute to pretend they called it. You have always been in the mix and actually know all the people in all of these events since Long Term Capital Management. I have followed you since the 1980s. Now, everything you have said from the start of this pandemic that others called conspiracy theories is also coming true. Are you sure someone does not speak to you in the middle of the night? LOL

REPLY: Well if anyone is whispering to me while I’m sleeping, I don’t remember when I wake up, or maybe this is all one giant elaborate dream. Putting the world together from a global perspective simply allows you to see the whole picture. It’s like those who would write and accuse me of just being a Trump supporter and were caught up in this myopic perspective of only looking at domestic events. They are just incapable of ever seeing that the real strings being pulled are from other sources outside the USA. Only now are people starting to see that this was NEVER an election between Trump v Biden. This was Trump v Schwab, Gates, Soros, and all the agencies associated with the United Nations from the IMF, WHO, World Bank, and BIS.
Schwab has even put it in his 2030 agenda — the United States will NO LONGER be the world’s leading superpower. Instead, the title will be shared by a “handful of countries,” which is of course the United Nations. The UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) has created this pandemic, and who is its biggest contributor once Trump removed US funding, as did Ronald Reagan? None other than Bill Gates.
Soros has been pushing for the end of the world economy as we know it. He sees China as state capitalism because the government is not elected, but it allows the freedom of its people to produce and innovate. With US and Western capitalism, which he calls international capitalism, the only real difference is that the governments are elected. He set forth here back in 2010 his view that we need to create a new global economy, and he sees the G20/United Nations as that role and naively believes that this will end conflicts and war because there would be only one government.
This is why you have Schwab stating in his 2030 Agenda that they will retain the “checks and balances that underpin our democracies,” but your right to vote is unimportant. This is Soros’ new vision of creating a new world order for we the Great Unwashed are to be just told what to do.
They needed to get rid of Trump to pull off their attempt to create a one-world government. Trump was the obstacle, for he did not agree with this agenda. Biden stated clearly he would immediately rejoin the United Nations. There are people in Washington who you would call a traitor because they have bought into this idea of man-made climate change and believe it will take a one-world government to save the planet.
COVID is a scam. I ABSOLUTELY know that people were told in advance a virus was coming, and the COVID Crash in March 2020 our computer picked up as a manipulation, yet they did use our model to get the timing when to strike. They have been fighting me for decades, so this time they tried to use my timing, but the markets rebounded, and they failed to create another 2007-2009 crisis they had hoped would be a Great Depression. That would have made it easy for them to redesign the world economy, as was the case with Roosevelt. That was their agenda, and it FAILED.
I have stated clearly that I use to fly around and meet the people who wanted to run for president. It was a process where I would actually be assessing if they could handle the job. I was then asked to fly to Texas to meet Bush Jr. but was told this was “different” because he was “stupid,” which totally shocked me. When I asked why they would make someone “stupid” president, they said he had the name. I was then asked if I would take the role of Chief Economic Adviser in the White House, and I declined. I was not about to give up my business for such a short-term gig.
But 1999 was when the line was crossed. Perhaps I was naive and did not realize that I was working behind the curtain in what would become the Deep State. As I reflect back on my life, I see what was developing, but 1999 was when the line between the country and the bureaucracy was crossed. Where I thought I was helping the country, I then saw how that taste of power distorted those in Washington to believe they could do a better job.
I was drawn in after being called in 1985 as an expert on reconstructing the world monetary system, which was the birth of what was then the G5 at the Plaza Accord, and today is the G20. I disagreed and went out of committee, as they said, and wrote directly to President Reagan. Ever since, they just saw me not as the typical “YES man” agreeing with whatever to stay in the game and pretend I was important. I have always liked my independence, and trading markets were just like an ATM machine for me, so I never needed money. I did not inherit anything but fortitude, my father’s intellect, my mother’s tenacity with respect to honor (tending to hold fast), and talent for trading that seems to have been in the family for decades.
Yes, I have been in the mix. I have had a front-row seat, which is why they tried so hard to eliminate me. I have been tenacious and held to my beliefs that have been formed by studying history; I can see very clearly what they are trying and how they will fail. So while others are simply plagiarizing our models, they are blind to the real outcome, or they would stand up and do something other than trying to simply rack in money.
