QUESTION: Marty, you said December was a chaotic month that was geopolitical and the risk of major earthquakes in California. Is this what the computer was forecasting?
WJ
ANSWER: There is a cycle to everything. A 7.0-magnitude earthquake has just struck off the coast of Northern California on Thursday, triggering a tsunami warning. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the tremor hit about 60 miles west-southwest of Ferndale, California. It’s not clear if any damage or injuries were reported.
However, while the computer projected the natural events for this week, the last two weeks of the month appear to be the most significant and appear more worldwide, suggesting they are more closely related to geopolitical events rather than domestic ones. Overall, December has been the most significant target, as you can see in this array for Apple.
The computer first shocked our readers in 1985 when it projected that a minor earthquake correlated to the double earthquake in Mexico would then unfold in NYC. This clear correlation was more than 90% accurate in history.

Californians pay a fixed rate for their energy grid, but the state has been harvesting a surplus to the point that operators are forced to offload the energy to neighboring states that purchase it at a discount or even receive it free of cost. Governor Gavin Newsom praised California for advancing its energy storage by 1,250% since he took office, but it is not enough to attain current levels of energy and certainly not enough to reach the goal of going 100% renewable by 2045.
The Los Angeles Times found that Californians are now paying up to three times the national average for energy. The infrastructure simply is not in place to store or carry the amount of solar power generating, leading millions of dollars in energy waste. Southern California Edison and PG&E customers have experienced a 51% increase in costs over the last three years alone.
Still, the state is attempting to build MORE solar panels to reach its goal for 2045. Solar producers and grip operators are at odds. Solar farms have slowed energy production by 3 million megawatt hours in the last year, enough to power over half a million homes in California. The United State Energy Information Administration claims that power lines in many cases lack the capacity to deliver energy, and in other cases, the energy generated exceeds demand.
New Mexico, Oregon, Arizona, and Washington have all benefitted from California’s oversupply with cheap or free energy. California has the highest debt of any state in the nation. It cannot afford to lose money on this initiative. The state is ignoring the short-term while focusing on the lofty goal of achieving 100% renewable energy in the next 20 years. They sell renewables as a way to save but this is simply not the case for California residents who are paying more for a basic necessity.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Let me explain something. To even do the movie on me, The Forecaster, also 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.
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.
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?
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.

The United Kingdom’s Climate Change Committee (CCC) is rapidly moving to eliminate useless carbon from the environment by targeting citizens. The agency said that achieving Net Zero will require “behavioral changes” from the people that include curtailing every aspect of life from diet to transportation. But don’t worry, the agency claims the “people seem willing to accept there must be some degree of constraint.”
“In terms of the analysis we’ve done, about 10 percent of emissions reduction to 2035 comes from what we would think of as behaviour change. That’s predominantly around diets, flying and modal shifting [to] public transport,” CCC Director James Richardson said. Richardson said half of the necessary behavioral changes will surround diets as people will forced to consume less meat and find alternative protein sources.
The CCC would like to implement harsh fines on the automotive industry. Richardson compared the switch away from fuel engines as a simple matter of creative destruction. “We know from previous transitions between technologies that incumbent firms can get left behind – we all remember Blockbuster Video or Kodak. When these new technologies come in, it can be easy for incumbents to think they have more time to change than they do,” he stated. Well, we didn’t need to redo the entire infrastructure of the nation to do away with DVDs. There was a benefit to the consumer and private sector in adopting those new technologies. The private sector has shown an unwillingness to switch to EVs, for example, as has the consumer.
Starmer lied at the COP29 summit when he claimed his government would not be “telling people how to live their lives’ by reducing air travel or changing their diets.” Other Build Back Better nations also adhering to the Great Reset are slowly forcing their populations to make changes through taxation on carbon-producing items like cattle or aviation. Yet, how will governments FORCE the people to change their diets and transportation methods? These agencies are overly optimistic for believing the masses will blindly comply with their baseless orders.
The CCC believes that Brits must reduce meat and dairy consumption by an astounding 50% by 2050. “Setting a target is not enough. The UK must back up its international commitments through actions here at home,” the CCC has explained. The agency has already made advancements in reducing the sheep and cattle population. CCC chairman Piers Forster. Forster has suggested imposing high taxes on meat and dairy products to make them less attainable for the average person. The governments will fill their coffers with taxes and the elite will not need to make such “behaviour changes” as these initiatives are meant to benefit the few while punishing the masses.
Biden killed the Keystone XL Pipeline, as an example, under the premise of climate preservation and look what happened. All the measures taken to reduce fossil fuels have caused costs to skyrocket, but what happens when these measures transfer to the food supply? These nations are hampering their own ability to produce food by destroying cattle and farmland. They’re ensuring costs rise due to taxation. Importing goods has come at an increased cost due to increased demand and higher energy costs. These agencies have no alternative in place aside from lab-grown meat and insects. Is that a change we are willing to make for the benefit of none?

For very obvious reasons I don’t believe them. However, that said, take an elevated position on the issue for a moment and ask yourself, ‘what are the implications if the United States Pentagon are fabricating claims about North Korean troops on the ground in Kursk, Russia?’
The United States Defense Department asserted today that DPRK troops are on the ground in the Kursk region. Actual North Korean troops on the battlefield fighting against Ukraine. Has anyone seen any single physical attributable example, a picture, a photograph, a video, a satellite image, a drone video, a declassified field report; heck, anything – anything at all – to support such a claim?
.
This claim, and the total lack of evidence for it, is really nuts if you think about it.
Where are the journalists who look at these officials and say, “prove it.” I mean, the path we are traveling ends in a very dark place for the U.S-NATO and Russia. Shouldn’t someone, anyone, ask some very pointed questions? Where the heck is Biden?
New York Times – Early this morning, Ukraine’s military launched a volley of American-made ballistic missiles into Russia for the first time. The attack came on the 1,000th day of the war and less than a week after President Biden gave the Ukrainians permission to do so in a major shift of American policy.
The strike targeted an ammunition depot in the Bryansk region of southwestern Russia, causing explosions, Ukrainian officials said. Russian officials claimed to have shot down five of the six missiles. The use of long-range American weapons was a show of force that demonstrated how continued Western support could help Ukraine more easily degrade Russian forces.
The pre-dawn attack struck an ammunition depot in the Bryansk region of southwestern Russia, Ukrainian officials said. Russia’s Ministry of Defense said that Kyiv used six ballistic missiles known as ATACMS, for Army Tactical Missile System. A senior American official and a senior Ukrainian official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing operations, confirmed that ATACMS were used.
The strike represented a demonstration of force for Ukraine as it tries to show Western allies that providing more powerful and sophisticated weapons will pay off — by degrading Russia’s combat capabilities and relieving pressure on Kyiv’s overstretched forces.
The attack came on the same day President Vladimir Putin lowered Russia’s threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. He declared that Russia could use nuclear weapons if its sovereignty is threatened, even against a nonnuclear state so long as that state is backed by a nuclear power — similar to the situation in Ukraine. The timing of the long-planned move was clearly meant to send a message to Europe and the U.S.
The White House said it had observed “no changes to Russia’s nuclear posture” and played down Putin’s new doctrine. The reaction was telling, my colleague David Sanger wrote. Over nearly three years, the war in Ukraine has inured Washington and the world to the renewed use of nuclear weapons as the ultimate bargaining chip. (read more)
