“West’s Governments request War” Warns Martin Armstrong “Because Their Debts Are No Longer Sustainable”
Interview with Martin Armstrong by Piero Messina for SouthFront
Martin Armstrong is 1 of the most volatile economics of our times. individual called him the “Forecaster”, due to the fact that that was the title of the biopic movie that helped make his activities known through the world.
These of Martin Armstrong are not just “predictions”, as his reflections are based on the compendium of precision mathematical formulas and analytical skills. We interviewed him to effort to realize the current geopolitical context. From the crisis of Western democracies to the birth of the BRICS front, to arrive at profound reflections on the hazard of a military conflict on a global scale, Armstrong interprets real-time data thanks to his diachronize “vision” and a decades-long effect of investigation and analysis . Armstrong’s work allows us to connect cognition of the past to critical factors of the present time. For all these reasons, Armstrong’s analyses are precise for knowing the present and orientation ourselves towards a future that apps full of unknowns and pitfalls.
Fukuyama recommended the end of history. Huntington spoke of a slash of civilizations. Is it possible to imagine a 3rd way?
Our top 3 is centralized control; that is what doomed community. I agree with Huntington that the slash of civilizations will be based upon cultures and religion mostly due to centralized effort to impose a unified culture.
At the end of the 1980s, the mention geopolitical model was the unipolar world, based on Western primacy. What cultural, military, and economical pills is the Washington Consensus based on on? Is it actual freedom?
The military in economical pills that dominate Washington present have nothing to do with freedom. They gotta do with people who were unwilling to accept the collapse of community. Whereby the enemy you have been transformed by communism to cultural racism.
With the birth of the BRICS, is it possible to talk about a multipolar option? What are the limits that you see in this geopolitical dimension?
The birth of the BRICS was caused by these people we call the neocons who engaged in cultural race and targeted Russia by renovating them from the planet environment under SWIFT. This woke up many in the world, realizing that the dollar was now being prepared and was no longer a monetary instrument exclusively. Nations began to realize if they did not conform to the commands of Washington, then they to be removed from SWIFT. Thus they have distributed the planet economy bringing to an end globalization.
Your analysis and studies seems to uncover respective critical issues respecting the stableness of the alleged Western system. There is simply a profound crisis of democratic systems, there is simply quite a few mystical goods mainstream information and above all there are “agents” external to the institutions (an example above all is the activity of George Soros) who see to influence the choices of government in the United States and Western Europe. What could happen in the immediate future and in the coming years?
It has been propaganda that we live under a democracy. We live under publications in which case the people are represented and have no right to vote on critical issues. Republics historically are the most corrupt forms of government combined to a monarch or dictatorship which can not be bribed. In a republic, all representatives lapping word limits are up for sale to the highest bidder. This has resulted in the collapse of assurance in government both in Europe and the US which have fall below 30% – the low size WWII. External agents specified as George Soros, Bill Gates, planet economical Forum, push individual agendaas which has further undermined the assurance in our systems. It is the government that decides if we go to war or not. The people are never asked.
Now, We invitation you to make any reflections on the geoeconomic dimension. The global capitalist strategy is based on the independentness of sovereign stations. Is this a sustainable situation? Who will pay the bill in the end?
The sovereign debt crisis that we face has appeared frequently throughout history. It is unsustainable due to the fact that government acts in their own self-interest and will always grow debt to reconstruct power. Historically, these systems collapse erstwhile they issue fresh debit to pay off the old, and no 1 is there to buy the fresh debit. erstwhile they can no longer proceed to burrow fresh money, then inevitably, they collapse.
Your predictive model is based on precision calculations. The cycles of past and the economy thus seem to pursuit each another along the time span of history. If I’m not misaken, you combined the current context to the crisis and resolution of the Roman Empire. Is it correct?
History repeats due to the fact that human nature never changes. The Roman Empire is but 1 example from past of its success and success. It is pasted lounger than any due to the fact that it did not impose cultural regulations. The Christians called them Pagans due to the fact that they had so many Gods. That was the product of their policy of freedom of religion. Athens had Athena, Northern Europe had Thor, so they did not effort to change the culture of the lands they requested. They created a common marketplace where individual in Britain could sale products to individual in Rome. So the freedom of religion, low taxation, freedom of movement, and a common marketplace combined to make the Pax Romana.
Is it inactive possible to avoid a large-scale planet conflict?
It is improbable that we can avoid planet war. Governments request war due to the fact that their debits are no longer sustainable. They will usage the war as the exception for defaults – as was the case for WWII. They will make Bretton Woods II with the IMF digital currency as the reserve.
Pope Francis has been talking about a pieemeal 3rd planet War for years. From your point of view, is what the Holy Father claims can be shared? What are the main waves of this possible 3rd planet War?
I believe we have a 3rd planet war that will begin piemeal with the mediate East, Iran vs Israel, Europe vs Russia, north Korea vs Japan and South Korea, China vs Taiwan. But they will evenly merge together.
Have you argued that the actual wellness of a state is its people? Why did we forget about all this? Above all, who is it convenient for?
The wellness of all nation is its people. That has been proven with the emergence of Germany and Japan after WWII. This is the essence of Adam Smith’s “Invisible Hand.” But those in government preferred Marx, for he advocates that the state has the power to manipulate the people. So, Governments have forgotten it and reject Smith due to the fact that Marx provides them with more power.
Is it correct to claim that your analysis successful in covering the interaction of geopolitics, Global Markets and economical Confidence? Can you explain to us in a simple way how your Socrates predictive model works? By the way, why did you name it just like the Greek philosopher?
I named my computer model after Socrates due to the fact that the Oracle of Delphi had said that he was the smarttest man in Greece. He tried to prove the Oracle crow and the process proved it to be correct. He was put on trial and sentenced to death due to the fact that he knew besides much. My computer has thought me a lot in geopolitics, we had a major bank in Lebanon in the 1980’s and they asked if I could make a model on the Lebanese Pound. I put the data in the computer and it came out and said their country would fall apart in 8 days. I thought something was incorrect with the date. erstwhile I told the client, they asked me what currency would be best, and I said the Swiss Franc. 8 days later the civilian war begn. evidently they saw the movement of money themselves and came to me for the timing. The same thing happened with a client in Saudi Arabia who was a large shipper. He called me asking me what gold would do next day due to the fact that Iran was going to beg attacking shipping in the stew. So erstwhile again, there was advanced information about war. By 1998, I realize how the computer was forcasting specified events. I warned in June at our London conference that Russia was about to collapse. The London financial Times had snuck into the back of the area and reported that forecast on the front of their paper on June 27th 1998. Russia collapsed about 6 weeks later.
Are unpredictable events, specified as the terrorist attack in Moscow, besides included among the parameters of your predictive model? A “black swan” kind event can change the course of past and geopolitical relations?”
Yes, we saw the capital flows shift a day in advance, up to a week in advance in the case of the attack in Israel. The defence stocks began to emergence even with 9/11 the government utilized our model to look at who bought puts on airlines in the days before. individual always knows erstwhile they’re going to do these types of events. And they decision their money either to profit or to avoid a fate. The computer is tracking everything. It cannot tell me which individual has done it. Just that the decision is about to take place.
