Did World War III Start on the Precise Day of the ECM?

Russia-Syria
Russia began bombing CIA trained rebels in Syria precisely on the day of the turn in the Economic Confidence Model. This bombing has continued as CNN pointed out. Now, hundreds of Iranian troops have arrived in Syria to also join a major ground offensive in support of President Bashar al-Assad’s government. Clearly, the civil war in Syria is now escalating and we will see this as a proxy war at first directly between US and Russia with China supporting the Russian side in this game. This conflict is turning ever more regional and global in scope drawing in the world powers because the US war machine think this is just a game.
Russian warplanes have been targeting rebels trained by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency exposing US policy placing Moscow and Washington on opposing sides in a Middle East conflict for the first time since the Cold War. This should be a great concern because whatever has been the focus on the precise day of the ECM is what becomes the important event. As the economy in Russia turns down, the government needs a distraction and this is it. We will see the same trend emerge in the USA when the economy turns down for war is necessary to distract the people from the non-establishment candidates for 2016 and the social defaults as well as the need to raise taxes for war.

Gold & Propaganda

QUESTION: 
i read your latest piece on gold…..i see your rationale for inflation not causing gold to rise but rather an erosion in confidence of government
so if i am reading you right you see a rise in gold in a semi-rapid fashion for the next few years as the confidence in government declines now semi-rapidly
so …..what we have here is….
gold up…….
but the reasons not as spoken by the inflation gold guys
is this correct…
I thank you for your time

ANSWER: Exactly. It is critical that if you buy gold based upon inflation then you will lose money when that idea proves you wrong and you will not get out when you should. You will donate to the professionals and make the bankers rich. It is important to understand what moves a market for only then will you enter and exist without losing your shirt. Why hold something that declines for several years and waste all your efforts and resources on something that you could have made a lot of money in a different market and then return to gold with a lot more cash buying low rather than high. Of course if you do not want to be accused of manipulating markets, then BUY HIGH and SELL LOW. The bankers will send you a Christmas card maybe.
GC-1982-Dollars
If you just run a correlation of inflation to gold you will see that gold does not respond simply to changes in money supply. You can say I am wrong all you like. But the numbers are the numbers. Gold has not yet exceeded the 1980 high adjusted for inflation. Cars I bought back then are more than 300% today. Gold would have to be about $2700 to match that today compared to a German car. The Dow was 1000 in 1980 but it reached the 18500 area and gold would have had to rally to  $16,000 to match that. So explain that one. Why fight the trend? It makes no sense. Is this about making a good trade, or trying to prove some theory is correct?
Even the argument for hyperinflation these gold promoters do not understand and have brainwashed people so they get mad at me instead of getting pissed off at the clowns who duped them. They assume the cart is before the horse and that gold would rise BECAUSE of an increase in money supply. But when you look closely, the German Hyperinflation was a communist revolution. Any one with money hoarded and did not deposit it in banks. The money supply increased BECAUSE confidence declined FIRST. These promoters screw everything up just to sell gold and tell any story for they are not analysts, they are selling something no different than a used car salesman. It is always CONFIDENCE that collapses and that causes government to increase money supply.
Right now, Congress pushed off the debt ceiling they thought until December. Treasury says it will run out of money by November, one month before the politicians assumed. They have noted that tax revenues are dropping rapidly. These morons cannot figure out that raising taxes reduces net disposable income and that means lower GDP and higher unemployment.
The rise in gold will come ONLY when people start to realize we are in a lot of trouble here economically. The dates we have provided in the reports. Others say I am wrong and that people are buying gold in record numbers. It is amazing how people can’t get this in their head. China is turning down. Now the say the Fed will have to go into QE4 so buy gold, It gold declined after 2011 with constant QE and in Euros we are now in the second year of QE there, this argument is just wrong.

Each population measure wealth in terms of their own currency; not in dollars. So if you you want to fool yourself, go ahead. Are you just repeating what the promoters are telling you? Others will sell or buy based upon their home currency. You do not see gold making new highs in anything. The test of a REAL bull market is new highs in all currencies – not just one. You do not buy gold because it is rising in Mexico peso. You buy only when it makes a profit in your own currency. Profits are personal based upon your home currency.

Gold – Money Supply – Media

BYZNT-GC
QUESTION: Hello Martin,
First let me say thank you for all that you do keeping us informed on the markets and geopolitical events.
I’ve been an avid reader of yours for many years and especially your typed correspondence during the years of incarceration.
My question pertains to today’s “Gold and Money Supply” article. Since gold will only rise during a crisis in government, do you consider gold a leading indicator and if so would the precious metal then rise in value ahead of main stream media letting the public know we are in trouble?
ANSWER: Gold will rise when confidence in government declines. It did not respond to the rise in money supply, it responded because people feared the banking system would collapse. Once that fear abated, gold declined from 2011 yet money supply doubled. So the brainwashed keep harping on money supply and gold relationship. Gold declined for 19 years while money supply increased following 1980. How wrong do you have to be and for how long before one admits it?
The object here is to survive; not to tout some theory that is wrong and then blame paper gold and manipulation. They always like paper gold in bull markets though and it is amazing how when gold rises its never manipulated but real and all declines are manipulation. If gold was systemically manipulated, then it should be the only market down. Proof that clipping markets (manipulation) is different from systemically manipulating something is the fact that ALL commodities are in a bear market. Gold is in the trend of decline for the moment. No big deal.
Gold will rally when we see the same crack in confidence in the banks and government. Mainstream media will preach the opposite as they always do for they are part of the political establishment – not free press. So when they say its a false rally, no worries, they are usually wrong 100% of the time. So it is hard to say it is a leading indicator. It is an indicator of a serious decline in confidence whether or not the media even understands that.
Right  now, everyone is turning bullish assuming once again the jobs number will mean that QE4 will come so gold must rise. Perhaps this is necessary to sucker everyone in for the final low. The Benchmarks are still the target. Yet gold in this role will rise when the ECM turns down, not up. It declined from the 2011 low moving into 2015.75. So it remains a matter of time and price right now.
