The 6th Wave – Shift Pubic to Private

ECM-6thWave
The battle between opposite forces exists in everything. This is the classic left v right within every society. This manifests in where does the confidence of the people reside for the majority – within government or the private sector. We are in a 309.6 year Public Wave that ends in 2032.95. This force actually oscillates back and forth in 8.6 year intervals. But the overall wave structure is a public wave while the current 51.6 year wave is Private. This builds up into a major crisis and why I have been so concerned about the future.

Here are the major turning points in these major waves of 309.6 year intervals. The seriousness of this series of dates illustrates the problem. This pinpoints the peak in the Roman Economy during the reign of Marcus Aurelius who died in 180 AD an the next target marks the end of the Roman Empire that formally falls in 476AD with the last real emperor. However, then the barbarians assume the throne for a brief period of time. They issued coins that appeared to be Roman in appearance. Effectively, at the end, the barbarians wanted to be Romans where as the Vandals just stripped even the copper from the roofs of temples in Rome.

Even global warming follows this model of 309.6 years for the energy output of the sun fluctuates in about 300 year cycles that have been determined from the study of ice core samples from the North Pole known as solar variation. Hence, we are in this final warming phase and then we will turn back to extreme cold weather rather rapidly the same as a market crash. At the start of a 309.6 year cycle, the weather collapses into cold. Here is a picture of Washington crossing the Delaware River by Philadelphia with huge chunks of ice. I have NEVER seen such ice in that river in my life-time. The sun is simply a thermodynamic system that beats like your heart – it is just physics. Cars did not come into any real use until the 1940s. We are moving into the high on this cycle in 2032 in many ways.
WorldEconomy
What comes after 2032.95 will be a major change in climate and politics. This is why I warn we can go toward freedom or toward authoritarianism and this shift will be rather abrupt. This will be like the fall of Rome and the financial capital of the world will shift from the USA to Asia. What we are left with at the end of the day will be critical. We learn from the past in hard-sciences (technology) but in social science, personal self-interest dominates our views and prejudices moving forward.
This trend of shifting confidence is like politics – no one party wins all the time. We swing back and forth like in a sports game. The Huffington Post reported about a study, conducted by EMC Research that was composed of three in-depth surveys in late 2013, one by telephone and two on the Internet. The historical trends on dissatisfaction and alienation were confirmed by this study as it shows the American public is becoming increasingly distrustful of the government over the past several decades.

Feel of Europe

Tower-Bridge
Well my quick European tours is over and as the old song went, Back in the USA. (Yes I took that Picture). London was booming like I have never seen it before. Everything was very beaming and the hotels were packed. And as for hotels, the same comparable rooms in the same chain seem to be 3x+ the prices in NYC.
Had a lot of meetings. Sometimes you just have to really “feel” the atmosphere. People can write all day long. But if you have never been there, you miss 90% of reality. Covent Garden was full. Could not get a seat to eat.
Tubingen
Germany was much more quiet. Stop in an old bar that use to be packed with 50 people and there was barely 10. Much different on the continent compared to London.

Getting Off the Grid – Cars as Well

ferrari-f40
COMMENT: Dear Martin,
Some anecdotal evidence of money moving “off grid” in the UK.
I like to take good care of my car, detailing it etc. myself. I like to check in to a detailing website called ‘Detailing World’ where many pros post up their jobs on classic, high-end, sports cars.
Quite a number of them over the last year or so are wondering quite why the values of these cars are going through the roof, seemingly quite quickly, rather than gradually. Here’s one example from a few days back:
“Cars of this standard now would fetch £300,000 as of today. Classic Ferrari’s have gone mental in the last 2yrs, they’ve really rocketed up – the Ferrari F40 I posted a while back was sold for £565,000 – same car is worth £625k+ now just a few months later.”
This certainly appears to be evidence of money moving “off grid”. We don’t all of a sudden have a big increase in the number of classic car enthusiasts…
Regards,
N
REPLY: It is unfolding in everything tangible. Government just do not get it. They are in serious trouble and the top 10% (free thinkers not richest) are moving be it stamps, coins, cars, art, real estate, whatever. One Roman coin that was estimated at $20,000 just went for $70,000. This is getting very very interesting to watch.

U.S. Funds “Terror Studies” to Dissect and Neutralize Social Movements

The U.S. Elite Run a Ukrainian Genocide While American Public Are Ignorant of It

On Wednesday, July 2nd, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko resumed unlimited war against the residents of southeastern Ukraine, whom he calls “terrorists” for their wanting not to be killed by his troops. European leaders (especially Merkel of Germany, Hollande of France, and Putin of Russia) urged him not to resume his bombing campaign against the southeast, but the U.S. (specifically President Obama) supports the bombings, and that’s enough for Poroshenko; so, he did it. As the U.S. State Department said, “he has a right to defend his country.” Reuters reports that Poroshenko gave as his reason for the resumption, “to rid Ukraine of ‘parasites’.”  Adolf Hitler had given the same reason for ethnically cleansing his country.

Orwell’s Dystopian Future Is Almost Here: A Conversation With Glenn Greenwald

http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/orwells_dystopian_future_is_almost_here_a_conversation_20140703

There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate, they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.
—“1984,” George Orwell
Investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald, best known for his reporting on the U.S. surveillance state, told me that in the year since he first met whistle-blower Edward Snowden, he went back and re-read Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984.”

How A Few Wall-Street Backed Firms Manipulate The Entire US Housing Market

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-07-02/how-few-wall-street-backed-firms-manipulate-entire-us-housing-market

Private equity firms are the ultimate smart money on Wall Street; they know how to wring out the last dime from their own clients, such as pension funds and rich individuals, through hidden fees, obscure expenses, elaborate expense shifting, lackadaisical disclosure, and “zombie advisers,” to the point where SEC Inspection Chief Andrew Bowden singled them out in a speech in May. Now the lawyers are circling.

New ACLU report takes a snapshot of police militarization in the United States

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2014/06/24/new-aclu-report-takes-a-snapshot-of-police-militarization-in-the-united-states/

The American Civil Liberties Union has released the results of its year-long study of police militarization. The study looked at 800 deployments of SWAT teams among 20 local, state and federal police agencies in 2011-2012.

...where violent, volatile SWAT tactics were once used only in limited situations where someone was in the process of or about to commit a violent crime — where the police were using violence only to defuse an already violent situation — SWAT teams today are overwhelmingly used to investigate people who are still only suspected of committing nonviolent consensual crimes. And because these raids often involve forced entry into homes, often at night, they’re actually creating violence and confrontation where there was none before.

Sovereign Debt Crisis Alive & Well In Canada – Ontario is one of the largest debts in the world among sub-sovereign governments

Ontario
Those that have been yelling about hyperinflation complete ignore the fact that there are 3 major levels of government Federal-State/Province-Municipal/City and the latter two cannot print money. All three levels simply consume and debt has been the major crisis for centuries. Back in 1514, in the Stutgart/Tubingen area, the lord owed about a million gold coins. He could not pay the debt and the lower classes were revolting over taxes. He was forced to create a parliament among the nobles who then assumed the debt in return for power.
This story of a debt crisis has been replayed countless times throughout history. It is unfolding on a worldwide basis from Austria and Germany, throughout Europe, into North America, Japan, and Asia right into China. Why governments borrow with no intention of ever paying anything back and always go into collapse is just mind-blowing. We never even once learn from the past constantly repeating this boom bust cycle that leads to war and civil unrest.
Even in quiet Ontario, Moody’s has warned about a debt downgrade. The Thursday’s Throne Speech unfolded against the backdrop of a stern warning where the newly re-elected government is not showing enough progress tackling the province’s $12.5-billion deficit and stabilizing its massive debt load, which is one of the largest in the world among sub-sovereign governments. This is the price of socialism and it is being pushed off the cliff with great force. Do not confuse this with denying people a helping hand. The extreme left and the extreme right agree on one thing – more power to government. Both extremes are equally dangerous.
Moody’s Investors Service changed its outlook on Ontario to “negative,” a possible prelude to a downgrading of the province’s credit rating.Thursday’s Throne Speech unfolded against this very serious outlook in Canada.

Paul Craig Roberts: Washington Murders Countries, the US Constitution, and the Presstitute Media Makes Americans Complicit

http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/07/03/washington-murders-countries-us-constitution-presstitute-media-makes-americans-complicit-paul-craig-roberts/

Thanks to Op-Ed News contributor Eric Zuesse, I can bring to your attention these photographs (URL below) of what the Nazi Government in Washington is doing to Ukrainians who protest the Washington Nazis’ theft of their country. On this Fourth of July Americans need to ask themselves just how much horror, how much evil, and how many lies they can accept from a government in Washington that has established itself independently of any input from citizens to which government in the US is allegedly accountable. Before you wrap yourself in the flag this July 4th, realize that “your” government under Clinton, Bush, and Obama has destroyed in your name, in whole or part, eight countries, murdering, maiming, and displacing millions of civilians, and now is at work on Ukraine. These massive crimes against humanity rival Hitler’s and have been completely covered up by the presstitute American media, a collection of whores who lie for money. How can you be a human when you sit in front of CNN, Fox News or read the New York Times and submit to the brainwashing? Think about how you are propagandized, lied to, disinformed, and led into accepting “your” government’s murder of millions of peoples. Consider, isn’t it treason for Washington to so dishonor the flag that we love? Why do we tolerate it? What is wrong with us? Our duty is to the Constitution, not to the criminals in Washington. A patriot is a person who defends the Constitution against enemies “foreign and domestic.” While we sat sucking our thumbs, shaking in our boots in fear of nonexistent “terrorists,” our Constitution was murdered by Washington.

Paul Craig Roberts: July 4th Militarist Bunkum (an encore by request)

http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/07/03/july-4th-militarist-bunkum-encore-request/

In the United States patriotism and militarism have become synonyms. This July 4th find the courage to remind the militarists that Independence Day celebrates the Declaration of Independence, not the American Empire. The Declaration of Independence was not only a declaration of independence from King George III but also a declaration of independence from unaccountable tyrannical government. The oath of office commits the US officeholder to the defense of the US Constitution from enemies ”foreign and domestic.”

America’s worst enemies are our own presidents who have declared repeatedly that the orchestrated “war on terror” gives them the right to set aside the civil liberties guaranteed to every citizen by the US Constitution.

Andrew Napolitano: This Independence Day, America Again Has a Monarch

238 Years Later, Would Americans Still Choose Freedom Over Slavery?

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article38990.htm


“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”—Patrick Henry
Imagine living in a country where armed soldiers crash through doors to arrest and imprison citizens merely for criticizing government officials. Imagine that in this very same country, you’re watched all the time, and if you look even a little bit suspicious, the police stop and frisk you or pull you over to search you on the off chance you’re doing something illegal. Keep in mind that if you have a firearm of any kind while in this country, it may get you arrested and, in some circumstances, shot by police.
If you’re thinking this sounds like America today, you wouldn’t be far wrong. However, the scenario described above took place more than 200 years ago, when American colonists suffered under Great Britain’s version of an early police state. It was only when the colonists finally got fed up with being silenced, censored, searched, frisked, threatened, and arrested that they finally revolted against the tyrant’s fetters.
No document better states their grievances than the Declaration of Independence. A document seething with outrage over a government which had betrayed its citizens, the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, by 56 men who laid everything on the line, pledged it all—“our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor”—because they believed in a radical idea: that all people are created to be free.

... had the Declaration of Independence been written today, it would have rendered its signers terrorists, resulting in them being placed on a government watch list, targeted for surveillance of their activities and correspondence, and potentially arrested, held indefinitely, stripped of their rights and labeled enemy combatants.
