August 12, 2018 | Cryptocurrency – Private v Public
QUESTION: Dear Marty: I have been reading you for over a decade. I notice a change in your attitude towards Bitcoin/Crypto. Initially, you were completely against it, now you seem to be neutral.

What people have to understand is that the Federal Reserve is moving in the opposite direction with respect to its monetary base.

These data are […]
August 10, 2018 | Australian Government Has Simply Lost Its Mind & Violates International Law
People who think that Trump alone embarked on protectionism, really need to look around the World. Australians have been blocked by Amazon from buying anything from their US site because the government has imposed effectively a tariff of 10% on anything an Australian may purchase under $1,000 from the internet overseas. The Australian government is […]
August 9, 2018 | Electric Cars or Else – Says Brussels by 2020
From 2020, European carmakers MUST comply with stricter EU regulations. On average, only 95 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometer drove are permitted per car produced. If the output is higher than that, there will be drastic fines due. The leader seems to be BMW. I bought an I8 myself which is a hybrid so […]
August 7, 2018 | ECM & the Cycle Inversion?
The Economic Confidence Model (ECM) is a global business cycle. The entire world economy NEVER peaks and bottoms together.

What does that […]
August 6, 2018 | Why Has the Magnitsky Film Been Banned in USA & Europe?
The Magnitsky Act Behind the Scenes has been pulled from everywhere. You do not ban a film in Europe and the United States if it is wrong. This is perhaps a huge cover-up that goes really beyond comprehension. The film was funded by ZDF TV in Europe and they have the power to prevent it from […]

August 2, 2018 | CNN Confirmed Money Was Stolen from IMF

August 1, 2018 | European Banks Lending in USA Rather than Europe?
European banks have been lending in the United States quiet aggressively because (1) the economy is doing good so there is a demand for loans contrary to Europe, and (2) the behind the curtain view that the euro will decline and the dollar will rise. During the first half of 2017, European banks have lent […]
July 31, 2018 | Canada Global Warming Tax up to $1,000 per Household?
I have been warning that Global Warming is profitable for governments. They paid these academics $1 billion to come up with dire forecasts that ignore nature, cycles, and history, all to justify taxing people that will never actually impact anything nor balance their budgets. Canadian households in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia will be hit with […]

July 29, 2018 | Is CNN Creating a Civil War?
COMMENT: From Europe, we are looking at your CNN and it really has become just propaganda and fake news. I was not a fan of Trump, but I have to say, he has done a great job probably better than any world leader. He has revised trade and has turned North Korea while your unemployment is now below […]

July 20, 2018 | New Jersey To Now Tax Water Supply as Well – Creative Greed of Taxes
Politicians are truly amazing. When they need money, they are never short of ideas of things to tax. New Jersey is proposing to now tax water from the tap.

July 18, 2018 | Why CONFIDENCE is the Backbone of the New Monetary System
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; I found your recent article on inflation and contagions fascinating. Am I correct in summing it up that today because currencies are not commodity based, they rise and fall on anticipation of political events whereas under precious metals contagions took place by one country debasing compared to another? Thank you for your […]
July 17, 2018 | Bureaucracy & the Collapse of Empires, Nation, City-States & Corporations
COMMENT: Sir, Your blog about the “Deep State” being nothing more than the bureaucracy made me laugh. If memory serves, didn’t some of the Chinese dynasties implode because of bureaucracies? Or am I being nearsighted and all governments typically implode because of bureaucracies? On a fractal level, don’t all corporations implode because of their bureaucracies over […]
