MARTIN ARMSTRONG'S LATEST BLOG POSTS

The Revolution Around the World Will Not be Televised

Revolution
COMMENT: Hey Marty,
Hope you are well.
The Spanish police are crazy – they now stop all cars (including taxis) at night on the road out of town to make sure people are not drunk.. good idea you might say, but they are actually checking the passengers and ‘fining’ them if they have had one too many. Foreigners are targeted and there’s nothing you can do about it really.. just pay and be on your way.
There are lots of stories of blatant criminal activity, the craziest being about the British guy who had his brand new range rover towed, went to pay the fine and was told it was the judge’s decision on whether the car would be returned to him – nothing to do with the police at all.. a year or so later with the fines fully paid and an expensive court case going nowhere, the car was photographed driving down the street decked out with full police markings.. they didn’t even bother to change the license plate..  I’m not sure if he ever got it back.
Anyway, thanks for the update on gold.. it’s been a choppy last couple of months and the arrays were appreciated given that its been hard to call direction with any real conviction.. looks like we may be on for some fun in the near future.
All the best,
Ben
REPLY: Yes the stories about the police in Spain are over the top. They are hunting money like crazy and governments are turning against their own people defeating the very purpose of civilization. We did not agree to this arrangement and we are collapsing precisely as did Rome. Once government employees begin sacking their own cities, the end of times is near. They are stupid. They will not reform and cannot see that people will not tolerate this forever. The more aggressive they become, the higher the probability of revolutions erupting around the globe. Do not count on the media reporting the truth this time – they are on the wrong side of the fence.

Understanding How Things Must Function

CRUDE-Y 1997 forecast
QUESTION: I can follow the reasoning for some of the capital flows into the U.S. now and a bit longer. But eventually much of this capital is going to leave the U.S. correct? Besides some off the grid investing, is China and Asia looking like the most promising economies to attract the future change in capital flows? I know you will most likely cover specifics in your conference but was hoping you could perhaps set the broader picture your forecasts are showing
Thanks Bill

ANSWER: The capital inflow to the USA is what completes the Phase Transition. When oil was in the $10 range in 1998, We put out a forecast that oil would rise to $100 by 2007.15. Even in court, the Department of Energy wanted us to develop a model and Alan Cohen of Goldman Sachs blocked that project.
BME-I8
At the time, comments were we are crazy that the world economy would collapse with $100 oil. That is opinion which proved worthless. It also demonstrated that the vast majority of people are clueless as to how things function. Crude oil HAD TOrise to make it worthwhile to create other alternative technologies. You have electric cars today only because of that price action.
The capital flows MUST push the dollar higher and that will then set the monetary reform and dethrone the dollar. Until that happens, things do not shift. Eventually, China and India will rise because the West will destroy their economies with this constant attack of rising taxes to keep their failed system in motion. That is unsustainable.
ECM-1994-2011
You MUST move to extremes to create the change. Change will never come without motivation. The crude oil fell from 1997 to nearly $10 going into that ECM turning point 1998. Our forecast for $100 was met. Yes, oil exceeded that intraday. It could not close any year above $100 stopping at the $98-$99 level. That was theFALSE MOVE – the drop to $10 into 1998 getting everyone believing oil was going back to a few dollars. On the upside, all we have heard is how the dollar will crash for it is losing the fight against oil. Opinion ALWAYS mirrors the current trend.
WorldEconomy
So yes. We are now entering the interesting phase and that is what this World Economic Conference is all about. This is the START of a wild period and it will take two days to reveal everything. If you do not see the world unfold before your eyes, you will not have the confidence to invest or trade. That is just human nature.

Who Are You

who_are_you
QUESTION: Martin,
Just one question – How do you understand things so well?

I understand people who have lived in the real world – been there, done that! sorts, but to be able to have a worthwhile opinion on almost everything under the sun is something pretty unbelievable.

WHO ARE YOU?

Thanks for all the terrific stuff

ANSWER: Interesting question I seem to get a lot. It is all a question of perspective and opinion. People who argue on opinion and refuse to listen, go down in flames. I was trained by my father how to see the world and by my clients as to how it functions.

I am a product of my environment. My father was an aid to General Patton who defeated the southern Swabian German General Erwin Rommel (1891 – 1944) who was highly regarded as having been a humane and professional officer. Rommel wrote a manual for the officer instruction in infantry training), and in his personal time he wrote his book “Infanterie greift an” (Infantry Attacks), a description of the various actions he was involved with in the Great War, along with his observations. Patton read Rommel’s book and anticipated what he would do, which enable him to win the battle. My father always taught me to avoid opinion and keep an open mind for it is NOT what you think that matters, it is what your opponent believes. In my case it is history. If they have done it before, they will do it again because human intellect produces the same series of solutions to the very reasoning that caused the event.

Having offices around the world and clients everywhere, they have forged me into what I am today – in that furnace of experience. You will see that in Socrates for you will have to select your currency and the recommendations and strategy MUSTbe based upon your perspective – not mine. Telling you the Dow will rise 25% but the dollar will fall 50% means nothing to an American and everything to a foreign investor.

So the most valuable lesson I have learned is to LISTEN and try to see the world through the eyes of everyone else. That is the only way to function. It is like the terrorists. They truly believe they will be rewarded. You must understand it is not your opinion that matters.

This is why I say I will distinguish between my OPINION and what the computer projects. OPINION is not reliable. Until you learn that lesson, good luck in life.

1929 v 2015.75

Debt-Crisis
QUESTION:
Noting the 86 year Sov Debt cycle referred to in the Greek 2017 post,what about the 86 years from the Dow high in 1929?
Since it arrives in 2015.75 and is 10k times Pi or 10 times the 8.6 year cycle it ‘sounds’ significant.Given the phase transition yet to come might it mark a low in the Dow?
Thanks for the continuing education !
Bill
ANSWER: Yes. This is another important aspect that warns we may have that Phase Transition if we achieve a low instead of a high. This would be a cycle inversion and we will go over the evidence of that at the World Economic Conference. Everything will be moving relative to the Debt Crisis. This is one of those times were the majority must lose money for it is how the entire political economic system readjusts. This is the nature of the beast and those who think they can forecast this from an opinion perspective – well good luck. They haven’t experienced anything like this before.
