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 Venus Fly Trap Can Do What Congress Cannot – COUNT!

Venis Fly Trap

 

Scientists have discovered that the Venus Fly Trap does not react merely when an insect touches it. It counts the number of times an insect touches it and determines if it is too big to digest. This is something Congress is incapable of doing. They cannot count and never assume that either taxes are too big or their deficits are too large. Congress lacks the common sense of a Venus Fly Trap.

Hillary or Obama is there any difference?


Hillary Says She is No Different From Obama Who Also Took Money From Bankers

Hillary-Students

Hillary Clinton continues to struggle against Bernie Sanders who has rightly pointed to her ties to Wall Street. They should put it out there straight: THE CLINTONS HANDED STUDENTS TO THE BANKERS. In an attempt to stand up to this criticism, which is really indefensible, Hillary said she is no closer to the nation’s largest banks than Obama who took a lot of Wall Street money in 2008. Obama reversed all the restraints on the banks in secret last-minute deals for year-end. This is not very comforting. Hillary, meanwhile, was paid $2 million last year by Wall Street just to speak for a few minutes here and there. And she will reform the banks? Good one!

ANY vote for ANY career politician is going to be a vote for the New York bankers. Many politicians (if not the majority) have invested with — guess who — Goldman Sachs. Others own stock in the company. Just how in the hell are we going to get any change from Capitol Hill? This tie to the New York bankers will be the undoing of the United States and the demise of all future pension funds. Just watch.

The Insurgency Has Only Just Begun – We Absorb Vilification and Ridicule As Fuel…


Trump has listened to us and hears our concerns as we see our country being destroyed before our eyes. We the hated vulgarians are the one that built the country not the politicians who have built nothing and taken everything. Trump will be attacked by both sides as long and as hard as they can and they have all the money in the world. Keep the faith and don’t let the elitists win for that will be we are slaves again and the would be a slap in the face to the founders. Who gave everything to give us our God even freedom.

The End of the EU Part Three!


Europe Moving Into Meltdown?

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?
