The problem with Armstrong is the fact that his basic thesis is right, the world clearly is moving toward authoritarianism, no question about that. There is clearly a monumental geopolitical shift happening which Putin was able to catch and accelerate. Armstrong is talking about this for decades, yet still he wasn't able to earn big on this trend what makes it even more crazier. Maybe he realized at some point that the magnitude of Scams also accelerate with this trend from liberalism to authoritarianism and concentrated on this "business". I would love to hear the truth about his dealings in the 80s and 90s - the question is why he never did this and instead turned his focus on scamming confused individuals out of his worn out basement?
