Why We Should Be Concerned About NSA
The revelations that Snowden has shown the world has exposed a real conspiracy against the people. It is not dark sinister groups trying to collapse the economy to create a new world of Communism, that was the fad back in Rockefeller’s day. They actually believed Communism would work and be fair. The USA adopted Marxism and that became self-evident in the tax code where it hit 94% in 1945. I do not care who you are – a 94% tax rate is not economic freedom. Even serfs go to keep 20% in the Dark Ages. This was American Communism where you retained ownership in title, but they were like the muscle that shook you down.
The best way to discredit anything is turn it into a joke and you do that by exaggerating the incident. The idea that aliens can read your mind is classic. You use tinfoil to block their ability to read your thought. This an example of to make the idea that there are aliens seem ridiculous to even consider being rational.
With terrorism, they take it themselves to the extreme to expand their power and turn society into a herd of paranoid fools. There were the incidents of what is known as Mile-high Club where people have spent time in a bathroom together on a flight. Twice, they sent up F16 fighter jets to escort the planes down for extended bathroom stays. This is extreme paranoia, but it expands their power.
You would not believe what they can do under the cloak to defending against terrorism. For some time now, they can track you by your cell phone if it is just turned on. They use this routinely to arrest people for the cell phone tells them exactly where you are at all times.
They can plant APPS on your phone and turn it into a listening device. They scan everything in a company from a truck outside and intercept wireless networks. They have tapped into data centers and know everything you search. So why should we be concerned? Because this technology will be used for taxation. You do not build a system this comprehensive for 19 guys and a camel. Where is the profit in this? Then there were the Boston Bombers searching the internet and using cell phones. If these people were really concerned about preventing these sort of attacks, why were they unable to do so in Boston with two kids who were not that sophisticated? When you are tracking the entire world, you do not have the time to sift through that much data to prevent anything.
What we should be concerned about is the effort to eliminate economic freedom. These people believe they are not the problem – it is you. If you paid all your taxes, they could keep the system running and retain power. But the more this system fails, the greater they will use their powers to hunt everything down. This is how Rome fell. Maximinus I declared all wealth belonged to the state. When there were no other enemies to wage war against and bring home more wealth, they began turning against their own people. This is how EVERY empire has died. They self-destruct unleashing deflation at its worst because people begin to hoard money and that reduces the velocity of money. In Rome they kept raising taxes so high, people just walked away from their properties giving rise to the Dark Age and serfdom.
In Japan, each new issue of bronze coins devalued those in circulation making the new coin worth 10 times that of the previous coins in circulation. This practice ended hoarding as people then preferred Chinese coins and eventually the monetary system collapsed as coinage was no longer acceptable for anything. Money began rice. Japan did not issue coins for nearly 600 years. Money became simply food.
It is this turning inward against the people that is the standard operational procedure for an established state, nation, or empire that signals its demise. This is the danger of the NSA. Maximinus I paid spies to report on hidden wealth. We have the NSA.
Is Anyone Really in Charge?
COMMENT: Hi Marty
I think your take on conspiracy theories is refreshing especially to someone like me who is little leaning towards them. While I am happy to concede that there is no one truly behind the curtain isn’t it bad enough that there are forces definitely TRYING to control the world which ultimately cannot be controlled. (The writings of Rockerfeller, Zbigniew Brezinski are testament to this). In your recent writings you said that the NWO is impossible unless there is some kind of war. Well isn’t war in the plan to achieve that aim. Just as politicians will never relinquish power there are power addicted forces that will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Happy New Year

REPLY: I believe we need conspiracies for the same reason they say if God did not exist, man would create him. We look at government as a god – all-powerful, yet we do not understand how they function. The Fed plays the game because they know it is really a matter of confidence, A bank run is a panic spreading by fear – a lack of confidence. They control the media to control confidence. Snowden had to turn to the Guardian in Britain because no US newspaper would have published that story. I can tell you for at least two years in advance I was being warned by people on Capitol Hill that the NSA was sucking up even their emails. This was not hush-hush. This was said to me openly, which meant you can bet every journalist covering Washington also knew but did not print the story.
We need conspiracies so we can sleep at night thinking someone is in charge.But it is far worse than any conspiracy when you realize nobody is deliberately causing this nightmare, and NOBODY can stop it either.
I use to think there were such dark forces. But after the computer predicted correctly not just the precise day of the October 19th 1987 Crash, but the point move and more importantly that this was the LOW and new HIGHS would be seen by 1989, so when the Crash came in 1989, I had two phone going simultaneously and on my left ear was the US Treasury and in my right was the Bank of Canada. They both wanted to know if they should be intervening. What did the model say?
I came to realize, there were no groups. If anyone was really in control, nobody would bother calling me. Why would the CFTC actually put in papers that I was manipulating the world economy because their view was we were the largest adviser ever. Just total nonsense. There is no such group. This is far worse for there is no plan and NOBODY can stop it if they wanted to.
Does it really matter if there is a group or not when the problem is structural? It will collapse regardless because nobody in their right mind would have designed such a system this way. Anyone in the private sector who ran a company the way these people run government would be in prison for life if not fried in an electric chair.
We are collapsing the same as Rome and every Empire before us and there were no groups that were credited with those events. Communism fell for the same reason and it did not require war – it was structural! Cheer up. We are in a cab and the driver is a kangaroo. It cannot get any more crazy than this.. You will wish there was some all-powerful group who you could bribe to reverse this mess. It ain’t gona happen! We are still collapsing all by ourselves. Will it make you feel any better if there is some sinister group? The reason I point this out is because government will prefer to look for a conspiracy they can blame and if they are rich, hey that justifies communism. Government needs conspiracy groups to get them off the hook. If we entertain this nonsense of conspiracies, we will never restructure government correctly and thus it is all pointless – we are just morons repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Blame conspiracies and you will support Communism and lose all freedom. This is a structural collapse that cannot be prevented without the complete reform of politics moving to a real Democracy not a pretend one that is really a corrupt Republic.

My Long-Term Goals
QUESTION: The cycles are real and impressive, but very hard to calculate without you telling us the dates/time frames. Therefore, if something ever happened to you I don’t know what I would do. I will have the understanding that these cycles exist, but ultimately will have to fall back on the technicals (Reversal days, resistance/support, trendlines, stop placements, etc). Do you agree? This is great for now while you are feeding us all the info, but how do I really learn to calculate these cycles? I am sure my last question is way to much info to share. I only ask the question to prove my point. You have taught me to trade without a bias, and I appreciate that lesson the most.

ANSWER: I greatly appreciate that I am mortal. It was Milton Friedman who convinced me what I was doing was even important. From my perspective, I was simply a trader. I have been working very hard to instill into my computer the ability to articulate what I have learned from it. It has been my greatest teacher. I am only human born with only a curiosity to learn and to try to figure out what makes the world tick.
I appreciate what the computer has done by me simply creating a cognitive learning machine and not prejudicing it with my assumptions. For this reason, I am trying hard to get it up and functioning. Then I suppose it will be best to go public and that way it can belong to everyone and continue when I am gone. While someone is living, there is way too much jealousy of another’s accomplishments. They are far too often only respected after they are gone. I assume that will be attached to this computer. I am just so tired of people trying to rob code and scheme deals all intent on making them rich at the price of society. So I have been protective only to prevent that outcome. What I have learned from this computer hopefully others will see only when I am gone and the personal animosity comes to an end.
So that is my long-term goal.
All the best and Happy New Year to All
