There Are Only 2 Types of Antagonists
COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I attended the debut in Amsterdam when someone tried to stop the film by creating a panic to run from the theater. It was a remarkable film that is much like a political thriller exposing the machinations behind the curtain as you say. It is something I am anxious to buy on DVD for it is a film you really have to watch a few times for it has so much detail on the banks and how Putin came to power. I thought I would let you know that the latest attempt to discredit the film seems to be claiming you stole your model from the movie Pi that came out in 1998. They cannot even get the timeline right since you were publishing for at least 20 years before that. It is really shocking the effort to prevent people from learning what the banks have been doing all this time.
Thank you for everything.
Happy New Year

REPLY: Yes, even in court Judge Kennan tried to discredit the model since they could not get their hands on it with the same pitch that I stole the idea from thatmovie. True, the movie Pi came out in 1998 and you are correct they can’t even get a timeline right that is plausible. The idea for that movie the author states was not based on me while others question that because of the plot and banks. That is really irrelevant since it is just a movie that could easily be a coincidence as well.
The point is there are only two antagonists who are against the film. (1) the bankers and (2) people who have been wrong it appears in the metals who are obsessed with this idea that if they can stop people listening to me the metals will rise. These people are just lost in the crevasses within their mind. They are clueless when it comes to history as well as the workings of the global economy focusing only on metals to the exclusion of everything else.
I do not need sympathy and instructed the producer I would not do a poor-me film. I agreed to do the film for one reason only – to expose the truth about what is going on behind the curtain for when BIG BANG hits, the only chance we have is to try to make sure that the reform process moves in the direction of LIBERTYand not more AUTHORITARIANISM. With tax rates at virtually 50% now (which will rise), I have a partner who takes the profits and leaves the losses. Honestly, from a personal perspective, I would rather retire and go live on a beach to get closer to global warming and I do not like being an economic slave. Why should I produce anything for them to squander with no regard for what they are doing? If you do not have to work – Atlas Shrugged is starting to make sense.
TIME & Fourth Dimension – Catalyst v Object
QUESTION:
Dear Martin:
Thanks for all the work, one thing I admire is that you are providing insight in to how the world works by making us think.
Honestly, when I read your blog post “Wine industry confirms same trend in Energy” I thought this guy is nuts… then I went back and read your blog “Cycles and the Flow of Time”.
Something “clicked” and I’m asking your feedback if something clicked into forward gear or neutral.
Wine and Energy have one thing in common… real estate ( thinking Linearly). However if one uses “Relativity Theory”, we can go deeper. Relativity says,Essentially,when you measure an object ( in this case price) to determine it’s velocity, momentum and how it experiences time you must measure it in relation to something else.
I’m guessing that Wine and Energy move through time in a similar fashion. They don’t really affect one another, they merely experience time in the same way. One may move faster, slower and with less or more momentum but they correlate in how they experience time. To summarize ( as an example) Oil (looking at it without another frame of reference) was going down in price, but in this case you are using “time” to explain how it experiences “time” it may or may not have been in a down trend ( you don’t know because there is no frame of reference). Bring in the Wine Industry, it may move slower or faster, but in the same direction, it may have similar, strong or less momentum, but in the same direction over time. When wine went down, then it was confirmed that oil was in a down trend. ( or vice versa).
Who knows, maybe as another confirmation, we may find that the milk output of goats experiences time in the same way as oil and wine.
This is why you say that everything needs to be compared to everything.
Second, we view price and cycles more like a piece of thread. Take a piece of thread, and make a wave, look at it from all sides and it looks the same. This is how cycles are viewed and it is not correct.
Cycles also experience space, and cycles in space look more like a ribbon. Look at a ribbon from the side view ( it looks like a piece of thread), look at the ribbon from the top, front and back views… suddenly it has width. Now take that ribbon and twist it while keeping the cycle shape, and all of a sudden things change. The nadir may be wide ( meaning a bottom which bounces against support and resistance), and the top may be thin ( like the thread) meaning that once support is broken we are on the way down.
This is why you speak of thinking in 3 dimensions.
So, am I on the right track ?
Best Regards,
SS
ANSWER: Yes. It is not merely real estate. You are overlooking the common element – human nature. Does it take a given amount of time for a particular commodity to move? Or is it that the TIME is a constant factor and the mover and shaker is human nature? If we assume the object rather than the catalyst, commonality remains hidden. Wine and Oil appear to be different only on the surface. Yet they both reveal a trend of expanding production into the high based upon human decisions predicated upon confidence at that moment for the majority assume whatever trend is in motion remains in motion. Then the collapse in confidence drives the price down. This is why every investigation of a crash is unable to find the culprit. The truth lies simply in the actions of the majority. Scare the herd and you create a stampede and panic.
The difference in the rate of change of course exists unique to each instrument. However, the trend is the common bond and that reflects back to the trend in the catalyst – not the instrument. Observing TIME as a fourth dimension separate and apart from the “fundamentals” reveals a whole new world.
China Passes USA in Purchasing Power
China’s economy has surpassed the United States and is the new number one in the world. We forecast for more than a decade that China would become the new Financial Capital of the World by 2032. That entails more than just its GDP and purchasing power. To accomplish that goal requires a safe place for capital to invest with a solid rule of law. India became the Financial Capital after the fall of Constantinople. That distinction then migrated to China. This is even why Columbus discovered America because he was trying to find a trade route to the Financial Capital of the World at that time – India.
Adjusted for purchasing power, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has confirmed the Chinese economy this year for the first time in front of the United States. That is, when comparing what a Chinese and an American has to spend on a cup of tea or coffee. So what he can actually buy with his money – regardless of the different price levels and exchange rates. This is also being driven by rising taxation in the West, which is drastically reducing the standard of living and contributing to shifting the economic power-base to China.
This of course is measured in US dollars. The US is still 70% ahead of China and will remain the largest economy in the world until post-2032. On a per capita basis, the economic performance of the United States with $53,001 is more than 4 times larger than China, demonstrating there is still time required to complete this transition process.
Europeans Hoarding Cash Increased 6.4% in 2014
In the United States, there was approximately $1.29 trillion in circulation as of October 1, 2014, of which $1.25 trillion was in Federal Reserve notes. Interesting enough, this was nearly matched now by the Euro. According to the European Central Bank , which publishes its balance sheet every week, circulating euro banknotes has just crossed the €1 trillion euros, exactly €1.0172 trillion euros.
What is fascinating is that the amount of currency is INCREASINGdespite the fact that the GDP is declining. The amount of notes in circulation increased 6.4% in 2014 while GDP in Euroland increased only by about 1.3% in nominal terms. This confirms one thing – Europeans are beginning to hoard cash outside the banking system. That corresponds to the same trend in ancient times. Hoards of coins are discovered from periods of stress and uncertainty. As people did not trust banks, they buried their money. History repeats because human nature is always the same.
