MARTIN ARMSTRONG'S LATEST BLOG POSTS

The Movie and The Goal

Movieo-t
The movie just played to sold-out venues in Croatia. I did some press interviews there and the tone of the questions is exactly different from the United States. It is sort of we know the US system is corrupt and protects the bankers, but do you feel comfortable being up front about it and are you afraid? This is very interesting take.
I have been asked what will the average person take away from this film. After all, I did not need to do this movie for out clients since they already know the truth behind the curtain. My objective here has been to expose the political-economic system to the average person so they might understand when the economy turns down, who to really blame. We cannot move forward unless we honestly free ourselves from the corruption and manipulation that tries desperately to hide what is going on. This is about the type of world we are leaving behind for our children and as it stands now, we have brought them into a world of economic slavery with the dwindling light of freedom.
Pawn
It has been my hope that if enough people really understand what is going on and the manipulations behind the scenes, just maybe we can prevent the swing to the hard left and perhaps avert wars with people positioned on a chessboard as the mere pawns of finance. There may not be many islands left we can flee to in this new authoritarian world that is emerging. The left is already touting the evil is Capitalism and their solution has never changed – seize property by force and oppress anyone who disagrees with their vision of utopia.
AmBusCycle-2

Like global warming, they actually believe they can eliminate the business cycle that has always existed. Instead of learning what it is all about and what makes it function, they merely blame people and seek to hunt them down for causing each economic slump. The left executed tens of millions of people during the revolutions that began with the takeover of Russia in 1917.
What I hope people will take away from this is understanding it is not simply the “rich” or the “bankers” that are at fault. Government is at the center of this corruption and whenever it goes terribly bad, they rush to protect their friends, not help society of protect the economy. There is never any original thought and there is certainly never a flicker of light that even bothers to spark an idea that perhaps we should really reform.
The last crisis saw big investigations and reform of the banking industry under the US Congress called the Dodd-Frank legislation to curtail proprietary trading by banks. This past Christmas, the bankers bribed Congress to repeal that legislation so it is back once again. Banking changed from relationship banking where they once upon a time cared about a client to transactional banking where clients became the target for profit. All that matters to them now is how much they can make on a deal. They will initiate a loan and then sell it rather than hold it. This has increased profits at the expense of altering the very foundation of the banking system and relationship banking. Why lend money when you can trade with it and make instant profits?
The economy is going to turn down VERY hard. The next decline will be far worse than the past from an economic perspective for there has been a very shallow recovery. Indeed, outside the USA, the economies of Europe, Asia, and Russia are all declining. Once the US turns down starting by October 2015, there will be nothing left holding up the global economy and deflation will get much worse. The dollar will rise with deflation and that will set in motion a massive new round of sovereign debt defaults and restructures. What began in Greece has become a contagion and we will see the price for our complacency with political-economy.
So my hope is to educate as many people as possible in a probably futile attempt to reduce the contraction in magnitude and hopefully push back the swing toward authoritarianism to freedom. That is the greatest gift I can leave my own posterity.

Brussels Altering History to Train Children to Accept EU Integration

Euro-Flag
One of the most basic means of propaganda any government engages in has been to rewrite history. It has been probably the most dishonest and unethical manipulations of society that has often led to war. The EU is now manipulating children by altering history to reflect a United States of Europe by ignoring the historical and cultural distinction between the European member states. This is just part of the campaign to alter the minds of European children to secure the jobs in Brussels with making the people accept EU integration as reported by theTelegraph.
The EU is now attempting to misinform the younger generation distorting history to pretend there is only one Europe. This naturally will be job security for those in Brussels with the €400,000 part-time jobs and tax-free privileges. It always becomes about government maintaining power and privilege. The truth becomes the victim and indeed if you tell a lie repeatedly, it become the new truth.
Cicero-2
The Oligarchy during the Roman Republic was a master manipulator. They used every tool including books by Cicero to reshape themselves and events into a new reality. The portrayed Caesar as the destroyer of the Republic who was the ruthless Dictator. It was Plutarch who reported that when a friend of Cicero’s remarked that the constellation of Lyra was due to rise the next day, Cicero revealed his part in the corruption by responding – “Yes, by edict.” For you see, the Oligarchy bribed the high priest to insert days into the calendar to postpone elections. Yet, most people merely took the words of Cicero in defense of the Republic and believe that Caesar was the oppressor when in fact it was the other way around. So propaganda plays a strategic role. It did not work at that moment in history for Cicero and Cato – both had to flee Rome and died for their corruption. Yet in their death, the propaganda lived on. 

NSA Destroying American Technology

nsa-surveillance
American technology companies are losing business on a major scale. The NSA will be responsible for wiping out the United States as a leader in computer science all because they have to listen to the entire world like an old woman addicted to soap operas. I find myself totally shocked at Microsoft. I purchased the latest office at a store. You then have to go online to download the program. They REQUIRE you to have a Microsoft Account. The worse part of this was they demanded I enter a credit card to PROVE who I was acknowledging it would not be used since I already paid for it. I simply refused. They will not refund your money so this is the latest consumer fraud. It is not disclosed that you mustPROVE who you are now to use their software. This has gone way too far. There are alternatives out there for word like LibreOffice, and Gnumeric is a better spreadsheet than excel for it can open files excel cannot. There are alternatives to Powerpoint and of course there are alternatives to Outlook such asThunderbird.
The question is WHY should I have to PROVE who I am to Microsoft to use a product I already paid for? Something just smells funny so the only choice was to walk away and they stole my money for nothing. There are plenty of alternatives and Microsoft just lost all our business.
Now China has dropped most of the leading technology brands of the USA  all because of the NSA and who can blame them? Widespread Western cybersurveillance has just gone too far. I would now rather use any product from someplace else or write my own. US technology has commited suicide for China will be the biggest economy where all the economic growth will be in the years ahead.
This has impacted U.S. network equipment maker Cisco Systems Inc, which in 2012 counted 60 products on the Central Government Procurement Center’s (CGPC) list, but by late 2014 had ZERO according to Reuters. Apple, Intel, McAfee and Citrx have all been dropped. China is shifting to internal alternatives.
The NSA is wiping out the US economy rapidly and Congress, occupied with lawyers, can only argue to uphold laws they write without any comprehension of the consequences. This is all part of the economic decline we see after 2015.75.
