ORN Martin Armstrong show notes 8/31/22
Armstrong’s Socrates Artificial Intelligence program monitors the entire world, writes reports, and generates charts and graphs.
Examples of successful real world Socrates predictions for Lebanon, Saudi Arabia. Computer picks up capital flow movements.
E.g. What would China do first if they were to invade the US? Sell off US debt.
Selloffs mean the money will be spent somewhere else.
Does Socrates need to be continually tweaked? No, it uploads new information itself. Only 6 people needed to monitor it. It’s not politically oriented.
First forecast of Socrates in the 80s was that the British pound would fall and British economy would flip in line with the US and countertrend to Europe. Britain was then becoming energy independent with Black Sea oil and Europe was still dependent for energy.
They staged a coup to get rid of Margaret Thatcher and John Major brought Britain into the EMR.
Bretton Woods collapsed because of a business cycle. Politicians don’t understand currency.
In 2014 after Ukraine coup d’état, Obama said he wanted SWIFT to remove Russia. They refused, twice.
We used to have sanctions between countries. Now sanctions involve individuals.
It’s no longer a global economy. Biden has split the world economy in half.
Europeans are being driven by climate change zealots. All they care about is reducing fossil fuels. They want to destroy as much as possible the ability to produce energy. They think solutions will come later.
Different situation in 3rd world countries with no social support networks. They don’t have the resources the West does. They will riot first. E.g. Sri Lanka.
European Commission leader says she doesn’t understand why electricity prices will be higher this winter.
Ukraine is the flat land. It’s where all the pipelines come together. Black Plague started there. Have been invaded multiple times – the tanks can come through there. Is why Putin didn’t want NATO in Ukraine.
John McCain was the leader of the NeoCons. Nasty person. It didn’t matter what Russia did, McCain thought they would always be the enemy.
Putin is Russia’s leader because of a plot to take over Russia. They wanted NATO to absorb Russia. Armstrong has a new book coming out about it called Seizure of Russia, based on declassified documents from Clinton’s presidency. Putin was not a communist nor an oligarch. Yeltsin turned to Putin because he was neutral. Yeltsin’s last words to Putin: “Protect Russia”.
Neocons thought we’d take out the dictators and the people would appreciate us for doing so. But you can’t change the culture of a country just by removing the leader.
Climate change people are controlling Biden today. So-called globalists are backing away.
Antagonism between Armstrong and Klaus Schwab. Schwab is a Marxist. Thinks Marxism failed because they didn’t have US and Europe in with them. Won’t acknowledge it as a failed policy.
When forming the Euro, they didn’t consolidate debt. Europe has cancelled currencies routinely. US has never cancelled its currency.
Biden has split the country. Civil War was because of state’s rights issues, not slavery. People didn’t want to be dictated to by federal government. Abortion rights, taxes – current hotspots because of efforts to federalize them. State’s rights issues again a cause of discord.
Hillary created the student loan situation. Designed loans so they couldn’t be defaulted on. So bankers set it up so parents would cosign and they can take parent’s assets. Can’t dismiss student loans in bankruptcy.
imposed.
