China Exports Fall for 2nd Month in a Row
The numbers are in for March and China’s, the world’s second-largest economy, showing exports and imports fell dramatically adding to the declining emerging market sector. This merely confirms what we have been forecasting that the bear market in emerging markets began in 2007 and will not bottom until 2020 on as 13 year decline and the US is alone in holding up the global economy. China’s exports fell by 6.6% in March when compared with the previous year while the imports dropped by 11.3% in the same month (year/year). The February decline in exports came in at 18.1%. This appears to be picking up momentum now as this is the first time since 2009 that exports have fallen for two months in a row.
Cold War 2 – Setting Up for the Fall – Putin Staring into the Eyes of a Dead Corpse?
The Cold War Part 2 with Russia, as always, demonstrates why we should banish lawyers from politics because they are incapable of understanding international capital flows that diminish their power. In studying law, I can tell you it is very black and white. You write a law to prevent a specific thing without any comprehension that it may have a ripple effect throughout the economy. Everything is connected and that goes to law as well. This is what they are INCAPABLE of observing for the very existence of international capital flows implies there lies something on the horizon that they cannot control
Cole War 2 is having a major ripple effect throughout the global economy that is setting it up for the next great crash after 2015.75. The Russians have been buying up real estate in Europe as well as the USA moving off the grid especially after Cyprus. They came to learn – you cannot trust banks controlled by politicians. They have been buying high-end property in NYC, California, and Florida in the United States. Guess What? This trend is suddenly coming to a screeching halt! Why? Cold War 2.
Our greatest problem has been politicians that may be lawyers but have no clue about how the economy functions. The sanctions on Russia will gut Europe where it really hurts the most – not energy – but investment. Putin is staring directly into the eyes of an economy committing suicide. In Europe, the Russian investments into real estate have been between 25% and 33% of that rising trend. This now sends serious signals to the Russians that the WORST investment during war is real estate because it is not movable. The entire Spanish housing boom was created to sell real estate to the Russians in order to support the collapse in real estate prices as their banks were unable to lend money for mortgages. Buying property in Spain got you residency – and that was a prize possession to both Russian and Chinese.
As governments changed the law limiting all cash transactions because they are in search of TAXES, these morons never grasp the trend is global – not exclusively domestic. They only see taxes and are driving off international capital. This has shifted the markets in Europe to show softness once again and the property market is now beginning to turn down.
Now the Russians are leaving London as well in mass thanks to the Cold War 2. Our politicians are clueless about capital flows and fail to understand that they have set in motion the seed for the worst downturn since the Great Depression 2015.75-2020.
Economist asks – Police or Soldiers?
US Police are acting like military rather than local police. The smallest towns in New Jersey have swat teams at taxpayer expense. The whole argument against standing armies was that they promoted war or they were a waste of funds. I have seen the police call in numerous squad cars to chase a teenage boy drinking beer on a step to a house. Then there was the report of two young boys shooting potatoes into a lake using a pipe and hair spray. The swat team held the two boys under 13 on the ground at gun point.
The Economist has now written about how America’s police have gone paramilitary. Look at police in Washington, DC and you will see they carry machine guns. There was one in the train station just walking all tough looking with bullet-proof gear giving the impression if you jumped up quickly you would be shot. The image of the policeman who helped children or got the cat out of the tree without shooting it from the 1950s, captured by Norman Rockwell (1894-1978), are gone. This is what the propaganda of “terrorism” has done to our society. We have lost the age of innocence completely.Australia’s Attorney General – NSA Lover
George Brandis, the 36th Attorney General for Australia, penned an article that Snowden is a Traitor and the more leaks he reads the more nut-job conservative he becomes. I should point out these VERY SAME arguments were once used several decades ago by another politician who envisioned himself as defender of his nation. He called them financial traitors motivated by greed who were exploiting the people and foreign enemies of the state threatened its security. Just replace the words with what these people government calls a“terrorist” today who is anyone that disagrees with the government’s views and objectives.
People like Brandis are exceptionally dangerous for these are the type of people who destroy civilization in the name of protecting it. They are biased, prejudiced, and can never be trusted for in their zeal they tear apart the very fabric that binds us together. To them, everyone is a suspect and trust nobody.
That politician who also saw the bankers as financial terrorists decades ago during the Great Depression that had threatened the nation, set out to right what he saw as the wrongs as well. The banker were never financial terrorists – that was fiscal mismanagement of politicians they normally blame the bankers for. This politician justified his actions cloaking them in fiery speeches. Even the ideological enemies of this politician today will admit that he was a highly gifted and prolific speaker who could move people and cause them to cheer for his nationalistic policies. Indeed, the undertone of his motivating speeches was the core of popularity – that they were the victim of dark forces. One of his more famous speeches began:
MORE than fourteen years have passed since the unhappy day when the German people, blinded by promises from foes at home and abroad, lost touch with honor and freedom, thereby losing all. Since that day of treachery, the Almighty has withheld his blessing from our people. Dissension and hatred descended upon us. With profound distress millions of the best German men and women from all walks of life have seen the unity of the nation vanishing away, dissolving in a confusion of political and personal opinions, economic interests, and ideological differences. Since that day, as so often in the past, Germany has presented a picture of heartbreaking disunity. We never received the equality and fraternity we had been promised, and we lost our liberty to boot. For when our nation lost its political place in the world, it soon lost its unity of spirit and will….
That politician was Adolf Hitler and the financial terrorists were the Jewish bankers. There are those who will be offended by even mentioning Hitler.Caution! If you do not know how Hitler came to power as an ELECTED official not by military coup, then you will not recognize the same warning signs when the next politician pulls the same heart-strings. History repeats BECAUSE human nature NEVER CHANGES.
Beware people who call Snowden a Traitor for they are extremely dangerous. They see whatever they do personally as just even when they tear down all rights because they answer to a GREATER good. They are blinded by their self-interest as part of the government mechanism whose sole goal is to retain power and justify that end by any means. They see the government as the sovereign – never the people who compose the nation. In their deranged grandeur, any threat even by the people against government is treason. They have forgotten – they are public servants, not the other way around.
Treason CAN NEVER BE someone exposing the corruption and illegal activity within government because government is not the sovereign – the people are. So in reality, they are telling their boss an employee is stealing. You would lock up the thief, not the person who informed you. Brandis has this whole thing ass backwards.Putin & Nostradamus
A king will come with blood floods, fly high, but fall abruptly into his greed and evilness. He will waste his kingdom and the common people will hate him. His head will roll off his shoulders.
This is the latest circulating around Ukraine.
My Picture
The picture of me with Jack King goes back to 1983. Jack died in 1997. So yes, I look very young there. Me in 1997 – well I looked older by then. This one is from the Australian press in 1988.
Calendar Reform
QUESTION: Martin,
You have opened my mind to the cycles I could only observe casually as a commercial r.e. appraisal on a micro scale in Detroit. I am a dedicated reader of your work since those dark days in NY. It is exciting to follow the historical depth and accuracy of your research brought forward to the present day through cycles. The world will hopefully learn from your wisdom and, as Lennon would say, give peace a chance.
Question: Which cycle alignment would you choose to reform the calendar? Such an alignment would perhaps indicate a trend change instead of a random comet/asteroid marking a political/economic/social/natural change and then commemorated on coinage. Such a calendar reform could eventually provide an new awareness of cycle change and we could drop all the AD to CE and BC to BCE religious correctness.
All the best,
JTA
ANSWER: It really doesn’t matter as long as you are consistent. However, to do the work we do it was necessary to create our OWN calendar. In order for a computer to accurately track cycles historically, it became necessary to create our own system because the calendar has been reformed so many times and the Jews, Arabs, and Christians all have different ones and then you go to Asia.
The only way to reconcile this chaos was to create our own Scalar Date Systemand that was to begin at 6000 BC as day one and then simply count days thereafter. This brings us to 2,927,113 days at the start of 2014. We chose that start date based upon when we have data economically. The tricky part was to write the program to translate that back into the calendar in use at that time and in the various cultures. That was not easy to say the least.
The Blood Moon
COMMENT: when you write everything is connected I doubt even you appreciate how profound the connections actually go.
highest regards,
TY
ANSWER: Absolutely correct! I have been able to see the connections with a massive database and computing power. I did not input the planetary movement, but that is not to say it would not be interesting to see the correlations.I have no theory nor expectation of the result. What I can say is the Precession of the Equinox is 25,800 years turns out to be ((3 x 8.6) x 1000). Perhaps the 8.6 frequency governs more planetary movement as well. Indeed, it is all connected.
Astrology began at least with the Babylonians who sought to catalog everything that moved and to correlate that in an interesting study. This is where much of that is derived from as is the idea that comets mark the changes in great trends with the birth or death of important kings.
Planetary movement may not be the source, but only another correlation to a greater cycle that governs everything since big bang. Under the laws of physics, the universe will expand to a maximum point like throwing a ball into the air. It will lose speed and then the gravitational pull will reverse and bring in all in to collapse upon itself at a faster rate than the expansion and who knows, perhaps it will start all over again. The one thing for certain – energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
