The 6th Wave – Shift Pubic to Private

ECM-6thWave
The battle between opposite forces exists in everything. This is the classic left v right within every society. This manifests in where does the confidence of the people reside for the majority – within government or the private sector. We are in a 309.6 year Public Wave that ends in 2032.95. This force actually oscillates back and forth in 8.6 year intervals. But the overall wave structure is a public wave while the current 51.6 year wave is Private. This builds up into a major crisis and why I have been so concerned about the future.

Here are the major turning points in these major waves of 309.6 year intervals. The seriousness of this series of dates illustrates the problem. This pinpoints the peak in the Roman Economy during the reign of Marcus Aurelius who died in 180 AD an the next target marks the end of the Roman Empire that formally falls in 476AD with the last real emperor. However, then the barbarians assume the throne for a brief period of time. They issued coins that appeared to be Roman in appearance. Effectively, at the end, the barbarians wanted to be Romans where as the Vandals just stripped even the copper from the roofs of temples in Rome.

Even global warming follows this model of 309.6 years for the energy output of the sun fluctuates in about 300 year cycles that have been determined from the study of ice core samples from the North Pole known as solar variation. Hence, we are in this final warming phase and then we will turn back to extreme cold weather rather rapidly the same as a market crash. At the start of a 309.6 year cycle, the weather collapses into cold. Here is a picture of Washington crossing the Delaware River by Philadelphia with huge chunks of ice. I have NEVER seen such ice in that river in my life-time. The sun is simply a thermodynamic system that beats like your heart – it is just physics. Cars did not come into any real use until the 1940s. We are moving into the high on this cycle in 2032 in many ways.
WorldEconomy
What comes after 2032.95 will be a major change in climate and politics. This is why I warn we can go toward freedom or toward authoritarianism and this shift will be rather abrupt. This will be like the fall of Rome and the financial capital of the world will shift from the USA to Asia. What we are left with at the end of the day will be critical. We learn from the past in hard-sciences (technology) but in social science, personal self-interest dominates our views and prejudices moving forward.
This trend of shifting confidence is like politics – no one party wins all the time. We swing back and forth like in a sports game. The Huffington Post reported about a study, conducted by EMC Research that was composed of three in-depth surveys in late 2013, one by telephone and two on the Internet. The historical trends on dissatisfaction and alienation were confirmed by this study as it shows the American public is becoming increasingly distrustful of the government over the past several decades.

Feel of Europe

Tower-Bridge
Well my quick European tours is over and as the old song went, Back in the USA. (Yes I took that Picture). London was booming like I have never seen it before. Everything was very beaming and the hotels were packed. And as for hotels, the same comparable rooms in the same chain seem to be 3x+ the prices in NYC.
Had a lot of meetings. Sometimes you just have to really “feel” the atmosphere. People can write all day long. But if you have never been there, you miss 90% of reality. Covent Garden was full. Could not get a seat to eat.
Tubingen
Germany was much more quiet. Stop in an old bar that use to be packed with 50 people and there was barely 10. Much different on the continent compared to London.

Getting Off the Grid – Cars as Well

COMMENT: Dear Martin,
Some anecdotal evidence of money moving “off grid” in the UK.
I like to take good care of my car, detailing it etc. myself. I like to check in to a detailing website called ‘Detailing World’ where many pros post up their jobs on classic, high-end, sports cars.
Quite a number of them over the last year or so are wondering quite why the values of these cars are going through the roof, seemingly quite quickly, rather than gradually. Here’s one example from a few days back:
“Cars of this standard now would fetch £300,000 as of today. Classic Ferrari’s have gone mental in the last 2yrs, they’ve really rocketed up – the Ferrari F40 I posted a while back was sold for £565,000 – same car is worth £625k+ now just a few months later.”
This certainly appears to be evidence of money moving “off grid”. We don’t all of a sudden have a big increase in the number of classic car enthusiasts…
Regards,
N
REPLY: It is unfolding in everything tangible. Government just do not get it. They are in serious trouble and the top 10% (free thinkers not richest) are moving be it stamps, coins, cars, art, real estate, whatever. One Roman coin that was estimated at $20,000 just went for $70,000. This is getting very very interesting to watch.
