January 6 was a staged and orchestrated event intended to criminalize Donald Trump and his supporters. There is a slew of evidence pointing to US intelligence interference, with more emerging by the week. US intelligence agencies wasted additional resources to investigate their own bureaus, “FBI’s Handling of its Confidential Human Sources and Intelligence Collection Efforts in the Lead Up to the Jan. 6, 2021 Electoral Certification.” Naturally, US intelligence found no wrongdoing on their end.

Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced that over two dozen confidential human sources (CHS) were present at the Capitol on January 6. He admits that three FBI agents were among the crowd but insists there were no undercover officers. Twenty-six CHS agents were also among the crowd, but the report insists only three were authorized to be there. One actually entered the Capitol building while the other two made their way into restricted areas. None of those four agents were charged with committing a crime.

“Our review determined that none of these FBI CHSs was authorized by the FBI to enter the Capitol or a restricted area or to otherwise break the law on January 6, nor was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others to commit illegal acts on January 6,” he stated.

Horowitz believes that they have simply “found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6.” The FBI applauded the investigation, which was clearly skewed in its favor, and said they would take additional precautions in January 2025.

FBI Director Christopher Wray announced that he is fleeing his post before Trump takes office. “When Chris Wray first got there back in 2017, the FBI was spying on congressional hill staffers, including the guy who is slated to replace him, and then the day after he announces he’s leaving, this report comes out and confirms what so many of us suspected, that there were these confidential human sources present on Jan. 6,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News.

Those who read between the lines can see that the DOJ and FBI have been weaponized political tools of the deep state under the Biden-Harris regime. Over 1,265 Americans were charged in connection to the January 6 events. The government used J6 as a premise to weaponize financial institutions to spy on Americans and usurp more power. These agencies are working against the American people for the private interests of the deep state and will never admit to any wrongdoing. It is laughable to think that any agency will deter civil unrest next month at Trump’s inauguration.

The Global Market Watch (GMW) was created for one of the top 10 banks in the world. It allowed them to look at their entire portfolio without reading a thousand reports. This allowed them to hone in on what might need their attention. As they commented, this is like having 1,000 trading assistants. We really are too busy to have been advertising or engaging in marketing campaigns. You can die from having too much business. As is the case with offices worldwide, someone is always awake. The GMW was designed for large institutions to save time and provide an important tool for investing.

The comments are a work in progress since the model still identifies new patterns. Socrates is proving that all the theories from the nonsense of Random Walks, etc., are just excuses for people incapable of comprehending how the world functions. The GMW records a pattern REGARDLESS of the market and assigns a number you see under the comment. That same pattern shows up in every market because the instrument is irrelevant – it is how human nature interacts with that market.

We can create a GMW for your entire portfolio to give you a fast glance at your portfolio. We are currently working on providing the same tools that I have used so you can ask question and it will respond. We are considering creating a terminal so it will access our systems and provide you with an impressive assistant.

QUESTION #1: Mr. Armstrong, you used to provide your reports rebranded to an institution’s name in Tokyo. Would you consider that for other countries?

GL

ANSWER #1: Yes. We would articulate the turning points rather than include the arrays. That would make it too identifiable, tracing back to us. But certainly, we can do that and attach an institution’s name, such as a reputable bank or brokerage house. We can replace the majority of the cost of research. We have a database of virtually every stock in the world.

QUESTION #2: Can I request that a particular stock be added to Socrates?

EJ

ANSWER #2: Certainly.

Many have asked about Biden’s statement that he would prevent Trump from becoming president. That was said well before the election. Nevertheless, I have reviewed how Biden can prevent Trump from taking office. This would not be permanent but would be a delay tactic.

The Democrats are really bankrupt. I constantly get these emails all the time – PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, send us money. It’s not to fight Trump; it’s to pay for their large living expenses.

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I do hope you hold your conference in the Dubai. I know you have a number of staff there. I recall that you had a projection for Iran to begin its decline and fall and end up with yet another revolution. I believe it was starting in 2024 and I think it would end by 2032. can you provide an update on Iran?

thank you so much for your kindness.

HBB

ANSWER: Yes, the start would be 2024 which was 72 years from the 1952 uprising. We are also looking at the collapse of the Iranian government – not just Republics. This is a global political reset. Iran will completely collapse by 2030. It will not make it to 2032. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is facing the fall his proxy terror groups throughout the Middle East. However, my sources have confirmed to me that Turkey advised both Iran and Russia not to intervene, for they were, in truth, taking down Syria. I believe Putin has read between the lines, but Iran did not. Turkey in making its play for checkmate on the Middle East.

I have not yet made the decision for Dubai. I want to see if Trump is actually sworn in first. There are some very dark forces still at work, and they intend to lead the world into war.

QUESTION: Marty, is it possible we are witnessing the greatest financial trap to unsuspecting global citizens as they ‘build a digital prison’ as many opine OR is this the perfect monetary system that will give opportunity to impoverished nations to rise out of the ashes?

We see kids, millenials to Gen X, buying it like it’s Thor’s hammer on some Marvel video game yet its consequences are real unlike the Marvel video game coins and so on. This video game is the real deal. Governments are now buying as much bitcoin as they can and I know an individual who bought his house with Bitcoin as collateral.

It is an age old saying, “When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.” This seems to be pertinent regarding this supposedly perfect monetary system, one that has never been witnessed before.

Who is actually in command of the truth of this now Bitcoin mania and are Bitcoins reborn “Tulips”?

One side delivers compelling conviction that it is financial freedom, the other portrays it is financial armageddon and there appears to be no middle ground in the discussion of it as a monetary system (vs an investment tool).

I welcome any further comments you can make to enlighten the rest of us.

Respectfully,
PH

ANSWER: There are those who are touting that Bitcoin will only rise, just as Irving Fisher was saying about the stock market just before it crashed. Bitcoin is the biggest scam of authoritarian government known to history. Ben Franklin said:

“Our new Constitution is now established; everything seems to promise it will be durable; but, in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.”

Our illustrious politicians overruled the Founding Fathers, who prohibited Direct Taxation, knowing that it was the path of tyranny and hatred of the rich that pours through every line written by Karl Marx. They implemented the income tax with a Constitutional Amendment in 1913. Ever since we have had class warfare. The Democrats seek to bribe people for their votes, always promising to rob the wealth from one person to give it to another. The courts selectively allow discrimination by class and talent because that pays their salaries. It’s illegal to discriminate against someone for their race, but if they have more money than you, it’s then fair game.

Part of the problem has been the uneducated propaganda against the Federal Reserve printing money and attributing that to the bankers as if it should be in the hands of the politicians. This has distorted the very definition of money. They then blame the Fed for inflation instead of the politicians who love to say that they can spend whatever they want and that it is the Fed’s job to make it noninflationary.

Money functions as the (1) unit of account and (2) as the accepted medium of exchange. It has been the dream of bureaucrats to be able to trace every transaction and ensure they get their pound of flesh every time there is a transaction. We are the enemy. Never forget that. Like the Mafia engaged in a protection racket, bureaucrats are no different. Pay or go to prison.

Cryptocurrency is absurd. Why? We just had two back-to-back hurricanes here in Florida. While I personally have a power generator, the power grid went down, and the internet went down. The stores had no power and could not even take a credit card. If you wanted anything, it was physical cash only. With no power, you could not even go to an ATM to get some money. In Florida, you learn you should always have some cash on hand, just in case.

If even a credit or debit card does not work without power, neither will crypto. The internet was down for over 10 days. All those selling crypto for the government only see their dream of taxation on absolutely everything – even that 16-year-old girl next door who watches the kids so you and your wife can go to dinner. You gave her $20? OMG. That’s why the government has deficits.

Money has been everything from seashells and gold to things of value such as bronze, grain, and sheep skins. When it comes down to durable money, it typically has practical use – utilitarian value. In prison, it used to be a pack of cigarettes, and then it became a pack of mackerel.

Here is a Roman bronze ingot known as an Aes Signatum (5 lbs) of bronze with the equivalent image of one head of cattle. I’m sorry, but money that depends on the power grid and can be programmable subject to a bank -debanking you, is not a sustainable monetary base. This would lead to an economic recession and a restriction on commerce.

Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume was booed by a crowd of 20,000 employees after stating that the company is not “operating in a fantasy world.” The company already saw 100,000 union members walkout on Monday. “As management we’re not operating in a fantasy world. We are making decisions in a rapidly changing environment,” Blume stated. But the fantasy of climate change is indeed what the company is operating under.

Blume said that Volkswagen must begin to offload vehicles to Chinese consumers. Why would Chinese consumers by a European EV when they can purchase a Chinese model for a fraction of the cost? I recently discussed how even American auto CEOs were praising the technological advances of Chinese EVs. China was once a large market for Germany’s auto exports but that has changed since the government applied countless regulations in the name of climate change.

Then Volkswagen had its emissions scandal where it falsified emissions testing to sell to US consumers. I wrote in 2015: “This event appears to highlight the turning point of 2015.75; in hindsight, we will probably look back at this turning point as the start of a serious economic decline that will strike Europe’s biggest economy. The German car industry is the largest and what is unraveling is a taint upon all German cars, which is unfair. This involved diesel only. Nonetheless, things are never always fair.”

Now the company is looking to cut pay for 120,000 workers. Operating profits have fallen by 11.4% and they simply cannot continue producing these EVs at the same pace they were producing dreaded fuel-powered cars because the demand is not there. The government is actively preventing the auto industry from flourishing. It is a fantasy to believe that the German auto industry can continue adhering to the country’s climate change objectives that believe it can reduce carbon emissions by 65% within the next 5 years.

Yet another reason why the entire European Union is facing a recession. Germany is the bread and butter of the EU – the economic powerhouse. You had 17% of all GDP in Germany derived from the auto industry in 2023, and now the nation’s top auto manufacturer is struggling to make a profit.

China was a key player for Germany. Germany sold 241,000 vehicles to China in 2023, marking a large portion of its market share at a value of €15.1 billion. Auto suppliers were able to sell some €11.2 billion to China last year. Currently, one in five cars on the road in China have been manufactured in Germany. Yet, China’s own auto industry grew 156% over a two-year period from 2021 to 2023 after exporting 4.14 million vehicles last year. China is not adhering to the climate change agenda, and those same regulations derived from fictional data are not strangling China’s energy-dependent sectors.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz called China a “systemic rival,” but he failed to acknowledge the government’s role in stifling the private sector. The German Chamber of Commerce in China conducted a study this past September that revealed half of the 566 surveyed businesses planned to invest more heavily into China. Only 2% said they would be willing to sell off their Chinese operations, and 7% said they were considering a move away from China. Instead of working on open trade, all of the Western nations have deemed China an unfriendly nation to be wary of.

The move to end climate change is fundamentally driving a stake through the very heart of the German economy and therefore the entire EU. The mercantile economic model will continue to collapse under the fantasy world of climate change. While they may not reduce their carbon footprint, the Germany economy is certainly on track to reduce its economic footprint in the years ahead.
