Martin Armstrong's Economics: March 2008

Witness of CIA remark should be subpoenaed to testify.

Eric Von Baronov who owns the Kondratyev economic site on Yahoo Groups stated in his forum several years ago that a CIA aquaintance of his told him that Martin Armstrong "had to be stopped".
Exactly what was meant by this statement should have been probed. It was this author's understanding that what was meant was that the CIA does not want people with extremely sophisticated computer analysis (which the CIA tried to aquire unsucessfully from Mr. Armstrong), controlling billions of dollars in the futures markets. A proper trial would have dealt with these issues, instead Martin got years of deprivation and even torture from solitary confinement before he was more or less forced into a plea.

According to some comentators Martin got some commodity traders angry by saying that they were manipulating markets and so when he needed to get out of his Yen trade which was going against him those traders made it impossible for him to find a buyer. Martin was also said to have had a position in another commodity that was going well for him but when he was arrested the reciever is said to have liquidated those positions, which meant that future profits from them were cut off. Again all of these issues should have been explored in a court of law with premium legal representaion, which Martin was denied when the courts took away his original lawyer's monies. Martin eventually got a lawyer that his 80 something year old mother scraped some money together to pay for.

Mr.Von Baranov should have been subpoenaed to testify at Martin Armstrong's 'trial'.

309.6 vs. 51.6 year cycles

Martin has written that he never said the 309.6 year cycle is a public cycle as opposed to the 51.6 year cycle that he said is a private (conficence in private markets) cycle. What he did write on his blog is that the 309.6 year cycle is a Republicanism cycle - "It was 1720 that produced both the Mississippi Bubble in France and the South Sea Bubble in England. The crash that developed led to the rise in discontent and the overthrow of monarchy with the rebirth of republic forms of government in the west. It is this wave that should reach its major peak by 2032.95 and that will bring an end to republicanism once again as has been the case." --- http://armstrongeconomics.com/models/the-end-of-time/ --- Martin pointed out that our representative democratic systems of the west came into existence about 300 years ago. So that is a ruler-ship cycle as opposed to a confidence in government cycle, however democratic institutions express confidence in elected representatives as opposed to confidence in Kings or Emperors and these things are really another form of a Private (Kings/Emperors) vs. Public (elected representatives) so in that sense the 309.6 year cycle is a public cycle. While he did not write that the 309.6 year cycle is a 'public' cycle per se he did write that it is a Republicanism cycle which is certainly related to a public cycle and more than just a climate cycle as he recently wrote it was on his blog - http://armstrongeconomics.com/2013/01/29/what-makes-the-world-tick/ Perhaps as he has suggested we can move into more of a direct democracy system/wave after 2032, but that could take time to get functioning as governments are likely headed for bankruptcy first. --- Here is a link to an excellent interview - The U.S. Monetary System and Descent into Fascism - An Interview with Dr. Edwin Vieira. http://www.silver-prices.net/the-us-monetary-system-and-descent-into-fascism-an-interview-with-dr-edwin-vieira/ "Debt required to finance the government at this point – I think it is now running around 46%. Victor Sperandeo has done some work on hyperinflations and found that apparently once that number gets over around 40-41%, that’s the end. According to his work, in every big example of hyperinflation since the French Revolution, that number is apparently the tipping point on the rollercoaster. You’ve gone over the top, and now gravity takes over and down you go to the bottom. They can’t stop the thing. So we’re now at 46%, at least it was on the 12th of May, 46%, and it doesn’t seem to me there’s any will or intelligence in Congress to correct this, and it’s not going to be the Federal Reserve that corrects this, it’s going to have to be done legislatively." Dr. Vieira says that if the American States do not gain back control of the financial system and armed forces from Washington in the next 18 Months (from mid 2011), then the USA is headed towards fascism, a police state with the founding father's framework destroyed. ____________________ In a 1999 article Martin Armstrong essentially predicted the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center when he wrote that based on his long cycle work (224 yrs) the USA would be attacked in either September or October 2001 and that this would then be followed by a retaliatory war (which happened in 2003 when President George Bush attacked Iraq, even if it was not where the 9/11 'terrorists' came from). Interesting how the cycle determined behavior of individuals who carried out the attack (some say the attack was an inside job, for example there was explosive residues on some debris, there is one video showing a jet of material coming from the WTC just before the Airplane hit and why was the 3rd undamaged tower deliberately demolished using explosives?) Whether the crime was done by insiders or outsiders to the USA, from a cyclical perspective it appears the perpetrators were fated to do it. An end of Empire phenomena.
