The Forecaster: Can This Computer Predict The Future?
SHTF Plan ^ | 12/9/14 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 12/09/2014 6:40:15 PM PST by Kartographer

For nearly ten years economic forecaster Martin Armstrong sat in a federal prison.

He had not be charged with any crime. He was never given a trial. They simply arrested him, seized his life’s work, and threw away the key.

Why?

Because according to many in the global trading community he had devised a computer model that was capable of coalescing and analyzing thousands of years of economic, political and financial data. The system he had built was so “intelligent” that it allowed his firm Princeton Economics to literally predict the rise and fall of entire nations.

Some call it hype. Some call him a crackpot.

Whatever you may believe, the facts are clear. He documented his predictions publicly, once even taking out a full page advertisement in USA Today just weeks ahead of the Savings and Loan crash of 1987 warning of what was to come. Next he pegged the collapse of the Japanese economy. Then the Russian Ruble, the dot-com bubble and the 2008 global economic crash.

Martin Armstrong, it seems, never misses.

Among other things, Armstrong has been predicting a massive global paradigm shift that will be taking place very soon. He first made the prediction thirty years ago in 1985. The target date?

October 1, 2015. (2015.75)

happy Birthday!

I consider him worth reading.

Unlike others commenting on markets and world events, Martin gives dates - ahead of time.

Watch for yourself...

His predictions will only happen if they coincide with the 4th tetra-bloodmoon ;)

“analyzing thousands of years of economic, political and financial data.”

Um... thousands of years of data. Really?

Is that something like Moog owed Kahn the Destroyer two horses and a dog?

He has also been correct lately about the rise of the dollar, when almost everyone predicted its crash, and new stock market highs, when people keep predicting crashes. He may be right or wrong, but he does not go with the crowd.

Yes, the world is still feeling the last ripples of the depression that was caused when Moog ate the dog instead of giving it back to Kahn.

The beginning of FY 2016, no less! We’d better monitor the Congressional budget process.

Right. Also, it’s amazing how he got “thousands of years” of data INTO this 1980s computer so the computer could analyze it.

Ok, but those are both “coinflip” propositions, so it’s not hard to get a few of those right. Especially if you make a bunch of them and just conveniently don’t talk about the ones you get wrong.

George Soros did the same thing, kept it to himself, and made billions off it.

While he has forecasts for a fee and paid clients, he does write a lot on his website. You can track his predictions yourself for free.
