Scotland Heating Up Everything
The fever for independence is strong in Scotland. In Belfast, they have posted on a hill“YES SCOTLAND” for you can bet if there is a “YES” vote, you will see Ireland next. In Glasgow, a pub has renamed itself to the YES Pub
The importance of this vote goes far beyond just the UK, We will see this as the first shot and this trend toward separation will heat-up throughout Europe especially with the rise of Draconian EU policy intent upon protecting jobs in Brussels more than the welfare of the people or Europe as a whole.
This vote in Scotland is VERY IMPORTANT to the financial markets and the trend we will see ahead. We will be issuing a special report on world currencies. This will cover the dollar rally and the fall of the Euro and British pound.
Scotland – YES or NO – It is just Economics
QUESTION: Marty
Somebody has just bet $1.3million on a ‘NO’ vote result in the upcoming Scottish Independence Referendum – was that you? J
Seriously, is the computer predicting a ‘YES’ on this issue (I have seen on the blog that the timing would be perfect, cycle-wise) and do you believe the hype about a 10% drop in GBP Sterling if Scotland does split from the UK?
The world is getting more and more fractured everyday – you have made a brilliant call on the rise in civil unrest.. have been following closely since you predicted the Ukraine crisis well before the media had latched onto the story.
Thanks

ANSWER: No – didn’t make that bet. The computer projected this would be a major turning point for Scotland. However, it is a close race and it really does not matter YES orNO. In either case, this will not be the end. If YES, it does not unfold until 2016 and there will be tremendous machinations so how the government will end up would tend to be more toward the conservative path than socialist despite the views today. We also cannot rule out vote rigging as was the case in the 1996 US Presidential election. Here was our forecast for the 2000 election. The computer projected the Democrats should win. But the Supreme Court handed the election to Bush, Jr. Later, when the votes were counted, it showed that the Democrats should have won.
Unfortunately, this is the same situation for Scotland. It is very tight. If this is a NO vote, when the economy turns down, they will vote again and say see – told you so. We are seeing this trend in the USA, Canada with Quebec, Spain, and you will see it emerge in Germany as well. Turn the economy down and we are in serious trouble.
The significance of our computer model is that we eliminate human emotions. An analyst will be colored by his subconscious no matter what. So someone pro-union will see what they want to see as the independent will see only their biased view. The computer cuts through the bias and just calls it like it is. When we warned about the Scottish separation vote, plenty of emails came in saying it was a joke and there was less than 5% support. But turn the economy down and you change politics.
The Great Depression in 1933 brought Hitler, Mao, and FDR to power all in the same year. This is always about economics. So a NO vote will only still lead to a YES movement within 2 years.
Turning Man Against his Brother Until Man Exists No More
Reuters has reported from documents just unsealed yesterday that the US government had threatened to fine Yahoo $250,000 per day if it refused to turn over all its customer data to intelligence agencies. There does not seem to be any politician capable of comprehending that these intelligence agencies are destroying commerce internationally. This may be why our computer appears to want to dig a hole for itself and hide come 2032. The very purpose of civilization is to promote communication and economic relations. This is what these people are attacking.
I went behind the Berlin Wall and saw how East Germany functioned. The state was paranoid about everyone and everything. People would not speak openly for fear they would be reported to the Stassi. The Venetian Empire had its Mouth of Truth which people could drop slips alleging whatever on an enemy and never reveal their own name. This destroyed the bonds of society and turned everyone against everyone else. There is no purpose to civilization if we all treat one another uncivilized – trust no one, and think only of yourself before even family.
Dividing societies into groups and turning one against the other is the design of government power. It has historically worked well.
Scotland Can Become The New Switzerland of Europe
Edinburgh
Even within each nation, there is a divide that centers on the stark difference between theHAVES and those who want to take by law whatever they have without working for it – theINDUSTRIOUS v the LAZY. This conflict is emerging everywhere in California and even in New Jersey. So in Scotland, this is true between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Independence is the first step. This would shake things up even in London and force reform. Scotland could then move to become the New Switzerland of Europe since the Swiss gave up everything that made them Swiss to start with – TAX REBELLION of William Tell after the tax collector made him shoot the apple from his son’s head. The neutrality of the Swiss worked in war ONLY because they held the money for everyone while they fought. Today, the Swiss gave up everyone and their mother trembling in fear of the USA, Germany, and France not to forget Italy. If war comes to Europe, I seriously doubt that chocolate and watches will secure their neutrality this time.
Scotland could really become the financial center of Europe if it was smart. I would kick out the banks trying to manipulate the election for their personal gain and strip them of their name when related to Scotland in any way. Their greed and treason are on equal footing.
If Scotland were to remove itself from the EU and just look at the numbers, trade is a tiny portion of world capital flows. FOLLOW the money, not the trinkets. The EU will NEEDScotland for the North Sea Oil. They are playing with a full house – use it. This will be a close race and the scare tactics are everywhere. The bankers are hard at work to protect their bonds portfolios swearing they will close up shop and move to London. They are trying hard to keep their fiefdom while selling the people to the EU. Hey – they needed massive bailouts to stay alive. Say good ridden since they do not know how to manage money anyhow!
