The Total Incompetence of Career Politicans


Bubble-Gum MachineSomeone really needs to do a study of people who seem to want to rule the world yet have absolutely no clue what they are doing, which is really 98% of all politicians. What drives these people? Is it just greed to sell influence and get outrageous speaking fees? Until we end career politicians, we will never achieve peace economically or militarily. I have stated before, ALL Republics degenerate into oligarchies. They do not call Goldman Sachs “Government Sachs” for no reason. They buy government to further their special interests and I believe to ensure no banker will ever go to jail. What they paid Hillary for 3 speeches is more than the net worth of Bernie Sanders for his entire life.

I have criticized those in government for being totally incompetent to the point that they could not manage a bubble gum machine. Some comments said I have been too hard on them. Well, I reported that Germany could not account for 600,000 of the 1.1 million refugees that they let into Europe. Now, they cannot account for 5,000 children who entered the country unaccompanied, 400 of whom are under the age of 13. We are in such trouble with government incompetence it is not even a joke.

Obama wants to impose a $10 per barrel tax on oil. He is so dishonest, it is beyond comprehension. He claims the energy companies will pay it as if the consumer will not. If he really believed this nonsense, it proves he seriously needs a mental examination for he has lost any sanity if he ever had it to start with.

This is a very real cycle and not just for money!


The 86-Year Cycle is All Around Us

Matrix

COMMENT: Marty, you have done a fantastic job in teaching us to look and observe. I noticed your post on the monetary reform of Trajan in 107AD. You mention he demonetized all coinage prior to Nero’s debasement in 64AD. Wow, that was 43 years or half your 86 year monetary crisis cycle. When you look, it is like the movie Matrix. Suddenly you see the code everywhere around you.

Amazing research. I can see why they wanted to silence you.

Thanks so much

Romane Imperial Debasement

REPLY: Excellent. It is all around us if you just let go of the prejudice and see the world as it truly is. Cycles are how energy flows, from sound and light to the cycles in your heart, no less your brain waves. It is stunning how petty people are who try to find fault (typically in relation to gold) just so they can be right. They are so blind that they fail to grasp that this is about understanding our environment, not whether gold peaks one week or the next. They have no interest in comprehending anything. Others are married to political philosophies and are so entrenched they deserve what they get. For the rest of us, the pursuit of knowledge is a journey that never ends. As they say, when there is nothing left to learn, it is time to die.

Rome Collapse 86 Years

Joe Biden Talks With Turkey’s Recep Erdogan as Mitch McConnell Tees Up Authorization for Military Force Against ISIS…


Washington and Brussels have the proverbial Tiger by the tail; except in this case they have multiple Tigers by their collective tails. Russia, China, Syria, ISIS, Germany, India and North Korea; there is no way to control this situation.

There are only a few more years left for the EU.


Schengen Agreement & the Fall of Europe

european_union_3d_map_1600_clr_17749

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, You have been nominated for the FX analyst of the year in 2016 again. True, your calls on the Euro and the Swiss peg were amazing. But what has fascinated me even more is you also forecast that the Schengen Agreement would come to an end before the refugee crisis. Can you elaborate on how these forecasts are even possible for you obviously do what no one else has ever been able to accomplish?

Thank you for a eye-opening blog.

ANSWER: Everything is connected. Nothing takes place in some isolated vacuum. Hopefully, people will open their eyes and see what I see; when they do, it will change how the world is managed. Just the other day, a die-hard Democrat tried to argue that Trump would start World War III and that Hillary has more experience. I said her experience was limited to working at the State Department, hiding her own emails, and setting up a Canadian entity that sold foreign influence to the highest bidder who then deposited the money in her “charity”. Come on. What experience? Then I mentioned how people made the very same argument about Ronald Reagan, saying that he too was a tough “hawk” who would also start World War III. He continued to bring down the Berlin Wall.

When we wake up and realize that the system cannot be altered by one person, then perhaps we will start to investigate the truth. As far as the EU is concerned, it is a total disaster. Brussels is fighting Poland, Hungary has fallen further into an abyss, and passports are being checked again, even between Denmark and Sweden, because now everyone is afraid after Germany allowed rapists and terrorists in and tried to cover it up. In short, the EU is functionally moving into a supernova. Brussels remains in a state of denial and tries to force the EU upon everyone while denying any democratic process in order to save the jobs of the Eurocrats.

dominoesEverything is connected. The Schengen Agreement is just one domino. The Schengen Agreement was wearing down because of economic differences. Let’s be honest here. The ONLY country to have benefited from the creation of the euro was Germany. Why? It eliminated the FX risk for German manufacturers. Thus, Germany was able to expand its trade within Europe. The rest of Europe had to convert their debts to the euro and they doubled. The failed structure of the euro placed tremendous pressure upon the entire world economy. The collapse of the Schengen Agreement was inevitable and not exclusively caused by the refugee crisis.

Euro Bank Notes

So as Mark Twain said, “The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Keep in mind the euro still has a few years left. However, its days are clearly numbered, as we know it today.

More signs the the EU is likely to fail soon!


French Prime Minister: “The European Project Can Fail…”

Valls Manuel Prime Minister

The French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, said at DAVOS: “The European project can fail if we cannot resolve the security and the issue of refugees.” The idea behind the euro was that a single currency would expand the European economy and allow for free movement. That dream is coming to an end for they see that closing the borders will close trade and that reverses everything.

The two worst mistakes have been (1) the failure to consolidate member debt, and (2) accepting refugees by the millions from a region that is hostile. For intelligent people, they have demonstrated that book smart is still dumb.

The End of the EU Part Three!


Europe Moving Into Meltdown?

european_union_flag_perspective_anim_500_clr_4611

QUESTION: Marty, now the OECD is predicting a financial crash worse than the 2007-2009 event in Europe because they say there is over €1 trillion in bad loans that cannot be collected. They seem to be also changing their opinion to fit your model. Were they there in Berlin?

ANSWER: We cannot comment on if the OECD is following our model or who is attending a conference. They are the most widely attended and many just want to know where the computer stands.

We see a massive banking crisis. The European banks are in deep trouble. Deutsche Bank posted a shocking €6.7 billion euro loss with its shares falling 10% in a day. HSBC bought Republic National Bank in New York for a bit more than that. Barclay’s is pulling out of all emerging markets cutting 1,000+ jobs.

The collapse in commodities will reek havoc on all emerging market countries, but there is one economy which nobody pays attention to closely. That is Germany. Yes it is the largest economy and main supporter of the Euro. They need open borders and the Euro to maintain their economy which is EXPORT driven. China is advancing more rapidly than Germany and has focused on trying to develop its internal economy. Spain was the richest nation in Europe with all the gold coming in from America. But they failed to develop their internal economy and collapsed. Germany is declining. It cannot be sustain with open borders and the Euro because the rest of Europe is in serious decline. The refugee crisis is a nightmare and now Italy demands taxpayer money to bailout banks fearful that a bail-in will cause a revolution.

Merkel was against allowing in refugees previously, but then changed her position to combat her poor view for the treatment of Greece and then the brilliant idea of bringing in cheap labor again to help Germany. This entire refugee crisis is far beyond control and now the elites are beside themselves for the manipulations.

German Federal Minister Sigmar Gabriel, who is also head of the SPD, warned at the Economic Forum in Davos of a return to border fences and controls. That would be an economic disaster and would be rising unemployment. This is the German EXPORT model – that and the Euro. But it is coming and with it, the further decline of Germany. This will only fuel the dollar rally when Europeans realize that the break-up of the Euro may lead to Deutsche marks, but will they be better? Now even Soros is saying the collapse of the Euro is inevitable. So everyone is now joining the party; a bit late, but as they say, better late than never.

IBEUUS-Y TEK TO 2020 1-22-2016

So welcome to the other side of 2015.75. We have a long way to go down into 2020. Here are only the technical projections. They also warn just taking out the 89 level produces a free-fall. This is unfortunately looking more and more like a total disaster of political incompetence and complete self-interest mismanagement.

Einsteing-thinking

The career politicians are incapable of saving Europe and instead are the very people pushing it over the edge. All they are focused on is saving their own ass in Brussels with their pensions. Jean-Claude Juncker has done such a great job destroying Europe, he was given a retroactive pay increase to more than €32,000 PER MONTH. Socrates would do a better job and we would charge based upon performance.

Can a computer be president? Hm. Way of the future?

The End of the EU Part Two!


The Final Straw for Britain?

Migrants

The Telegraph reported on a shocking new court ruling that may become the final straw that sends the British out of the EU. This ruling has begun the decline into chaos within Britain’s asylum system. This court ruling held that four Syrian migrants should immediately be brought to Britain from what is known as “The Jungle” camp in Calais because they have a right to a family life.

This ruling has very profound implications for it upholds an idea that we are really citizens of the world, and therefore, have a right to live where we want. The borders are maintained politically and through taxes. If we truly recognize human rights in this context, then the power of government should decline.

The End of the EU Part One.


Greek Rising Civil Unrest

Leaders-Merkel

Alexis Tsipras has to implement pension reform in order to get more loans from Brussels. He is betraying everything the Greek people voted for and is pushing Greece over the edge. Brussels is demanding that the Greeks pay for the shenanigans of Goldman Sachs whom helped Greek politicians cook the books.

Greek Protest 1-21-2016

Protests against the pension cuts and tax increases in Greece are spreading throughout the country. On Thursday, Greek farmers blocked major roads with their tractors. Among other things, the traffic was hampered on the axis linking western Greece with Turkey. The sailors continued a 48-hour strike. Most ferries remained in port and the rail transport was hampered by work stoppages of railwaymen.

Mother-Merkel

The ONLY solution is to exit the euro. Brussels is totally insane and their actions are designed only to maintain their own jobs. Merkel created this entire refugee mess by trying to show she was human while denying anything to Greece, despite Greece forgiving the German debt after World War II.

It is ironic that Merkel refused to bend for the Greeks, yet she let in hordes of “refugees” who are tearing Europe apart and have resulted in passports checks between member states.

Worldwide people are seeing their governments do crazy things that make no since and are hurting them; soon all “TRUST” will be gone and chaos will reign!


Davos – The Collapse in TRUST

DAvos

The most telling sign that we are headed into a real political-economic shit storm is the fact that “TRUST” is collapsing on all sides. Every chance Obama gets he wants to disarm Americans. Why? This is simply because government is in trouble and they no longer “trust” the people. Likewise, the “rich” are starting to withdraw their money from investment that would create jobs because they too are worried about the rising discontent among the majority of the population. Then we have the collapse in
trust” among the people of anyone who is a career politician. So welcome to the theme of Davos – the collapse in “trust”.

More problems in Britain!


Cameron – A Morally Corrupt Politician

EU-Cameron

 

Cameron is just an example of how morally corrupt politicians are no matter what country we talk about. Cameron promised a referendum on exiting the EU because he never in his wildest imagination contemplated that the British would leave the EU. So what does a corrupt politician do when he fears losing? He rigs the game. Cameron is now looking to postpone the referendum because the British people want out as a majority. The sex assault by the refugees is just the tip of it. With another 3 million coming in 2016, Merkel is destroying the very fabric of Europe. Cameron is trying to postpone any referendum until 2017 and will hope something will happen so he can just forget about the whole thing.

Withe bankers also being corrupt, they have tried to scare the British people saying if the Brits exit the EU, nobody would do business with them. Toyota, on the other hand, came out and stated bluntly the truth – they will of course continue to work with the UK. The British banks are in league with Cameron and are full of SHIT. This is the same scare-tactic the banks played on the Scottish exit and we saw similar nonsense in Greece telling the people they would “starve” because most food is imported from Europe.

Cae-PontifMax

Cameron has revealed his untrustworthy character trying to postpone any exit vote. This is exactly the same corruption which sparked the civil war in Rome and compelled Julius Caesar to cross the Rubicon. Why? Because the politicians would manipulate the calendar to postpone elections they know they would lose. The took advantage of the fact that the high priest, Pontifex Maximus, would arbitrarily adjust the calendar by inserting the leap days at his discretion. Solution? Bribe the high priest. The Senate fled and Caesar assumed the position of Pontifex Maximus and created to fixed Julian Calendar to end the arbitrary manipulation by priests thereafter. Cameron is following the same pattern – postpone a vote he knows he will lose.

corbyn Jeremy

God help Britain. Their choice is between a communist who thinks putting a maximum wage of people solves something, or Cameron who sees himself as a European before being British.
