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 a monumental geopolitical shift happening which Putin was able to catch and accelerate. Armstrong is talking about this for decades, yet he wasn't able to gain substantial sums of money which is odd. Maybe he realized that the magnitude of Scams also accelerate with this fundamental shift and concentrated on those dealings at some point. 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? How many people showed up at his latest conference, do we have any credible information on this? How big is this fading scam still?

Armstrong needs a story for his fearmongering so he can sell his conferences as a solution to his victims / cult followers. He does not know anything more than most other people already know. Moreover, he does not know the underlying processes that lead to the situation that he is talking about.

Except that he is himself an extremely authoritarian person who tries to suppress any views that contradict his narratives. He strictly plays from the playbook of other authoritarian people - that is why he knows their tricks. A pot that calls the kettle black. He uses the services of reputation launderers and projects himself as the good guy. See: Martin Armstrong The Forecaster The Movie.

There is this myth that he actually had any actionable knowledge in advance earlier in the 80s. There is no evidence of it. Otherwise he would have profited from the situations. In fact he has built his wealth by theft ($15 million US$ that earned him the contempt of court charge) and more recently with his refined scams and most likely by trading against his clients.

See:

Socrates The Market Manipulator.

Regarding the number of attendees of his last conferences, that number will not be available and he would not tell the truth. There is certainty however that many of his shills would attend. He even offered me a free ticket. So that number would be meaningless.

Regarding the state of his business, I am certain that most of his business has collapsed due to my campaigns.

As a proof of that, see the end of The Defeat of Martin Armstrong.

From my perspective, Armstrong's game is over and he cannot get back on his feet.

Socrates Frontrunning Opportunity
by

Martin Armstrong
Socrates
Front running
Opportunity

This is somewhat speculative but not far-fetched at all. Every user of the Socrates system  who wants to trade based on it, must download the corresponding market data from Armstrong's server. Even more so, that user must subscribe to that market for advanced trading information. Therefore, statistics of this information is available to Martin Armstrong for use and re-sale.

How can this information be exploited?

Since the Socrates Reversal system, which is the primary tool that users use (see this post for an anecdotal recent proof of that assumption), it is instructive to explore the EFFECT of this tool on the market when used.

The Reversal System is primarily a breakout trading strategy, meaning it instructs the user to buy / sell at very specific published price points when crossed. And Martin Armstrong claims high accuracy of these price points.

To see the effect of trading this breakout strategy, see my proof at:

Socrates Long Term Past Performance Review.

How does this work?

If only a moderate number of traders start to act on these price points when crossed, the strategy becomes self-fulfilling because the price will jump (break out) at these price points, caused by these very users.

This has been confirmed in the past by amazed subscribers who observed the price jumping at these points, asking themselves why these price points could be so accurate?

Why can't you profit from this by subscribing to Socrates and trading the opposite?

Because you don't have the subscriber statistics.

Now it is not difficult to see how to profit from the subscriber statistics. Those statistics that are perhaps Martin Armstrong's best kept secret.

Another reason to stay away from this guy.

Martin Armstrong is a charlatan, and he spent 11 years in jail for that reason but he has not changed.

Regular Socrates Warning Broadcast

Regular Socrates Warning Broadcast
It's a Scam


This is a regular broadcast message UPDATE. It is timely in a way because traffic of this blog is high, and it will hopefully reach a larger audience than before.

Who is Martin Armstrong?

The real story about Martin Armstrong is HERE.


Martin Armstrong is a world renowned criminal. A thief. An unrepentant convicted felon. Worst of the worst. Decades ago, he hired some programmers to write that program for him that he calls Socrates. Used it to trade the markets with money stolen from investors. Lost USD 700 million. Created a USD 3 billion Ponzi scheme to cover up the losses. Was caught and spent 11 years in jail for the crimes, including for failing to return USD 15 million that he stashed away, on top of the losses.

Most likely, after getting out of jail, Martin Armstrong laundered the stashed away money and paid Marcus Vetter to make that whitewash movie "The Forecaster" for him. A web of lies that blames the government for his crimes. The wet dream of a criminal. Now he sells that Socrates software that he used to lose millions, as a subscription service for USD 1,800 per year to the little guy. For the results, see:
Socrates Subscriber Testimonials


This is the true story of a criminal kept safe from his victims, earning USD 15 million of stolen money while behind bars, being fed on US taxpayer expense, and allowed to re-build the longest running scam business in history, using some of that stolen money. See:
ArmstrongEconomics - The Scam Business Model Exposé

So WHAT does he do as Armstrong Economics then?

He is an Internet content aggregator driving traffic into his online store for his three revenue streams: 1) Socrates subscriptions, 2) overpriced books and reports, and 3) overpriced conferences, physical and virtual.

To achieve his objective, he creates campaigns with changing subjects. depending on what sells. He is a populist hot button pusher. For example, he is a Disinformation agent / broker / publisher / propagandist. He fraudulently creates the illusion that he has exclusive access to information, and based on that he sells himself as a conveyor belt for some third party disinformation, using his public blog site which is ideal for that purpose because it wraps complex matters in a manipulative cartoon style, using conspiracy theories.

That blog site conveniently functions as the location of his online shop where he sells his own snake oil costing hundreds. Example:

He most likely sold his global warming denial campaign to mineral oil companies when this was what these companies needed at the time. Now that the oil companies are switching their strategies (see Big oil’s ‘wokewashing’ is the new climate science denialism), guess what, Martin Armstrong's global cooling campaign is over! His new main campaign is now Covid-19 anti-vaccination.

Here is the proof: Interestingly, a prominent manipulation tool that he showed frequently just DISAPPEARED:


Original page URL (did not load 2021-09-18):

Climate Alarmists’ Fraud Exposed

BUT it is still available on the web archive as:


Climate Alarmists’ Fraud Exposed

and the YouTube video is still on YouTube:

My Gift To Climate Alarmists - Tony Heller


So apparently our self-declared gift to humanity Martin Armstrong has been a useful propaganda tool for the oil industry for years - until no longer needed.

Hmm. Perhaps I am reading a bit too much into this climate change subject. Because he is also accidentally deleting pages from his blog and then blames Google for it. See: Censorship. Becomes a conspiracy theory based on which he then sells his oversize influence and Socrates. Buy, Buy, Buy! Even mistakes are immediately converted into sales opportunities. That is what this guy has been doing all his life. In jail for 11 years? No problem. Make a movie about it and become a popular hero. Sell the movie. The movie sells his Socrates. You can't make this up.


As we have exposed many times, Martin Armstrong makes forecasts like a shotgun, let's say for the sake of argument twenty in a row.

The majority will fail and the minority, typically only one will succeed. He then praises the success of the minority successful forecasts, but conveniently forgets about the failures or manipulates them after the fact to appear successful.

Guess why we do not find any track record on any of his sites, only at armstrongecmscam.blogspot.com and Precious Metals Analyst Accountability.

That is why Martin Armstrong is talking to himself in his "public" blog echo chamber and posting in public forums as his own shill. He censors user comments to put it mildly.

So far so good.

The Socrates system with its Artificial Intelligence magic, that according to his claims is free of human bias and never wrong, is supposedly not subject to the above confidence tricks.

WRONG!

The Socrates system, by means of its ambiguity, is not different from the charlatan scheme described above - it just computerizes that scheme of deception as a smoke and mirrors machine.

That is why I have been writing for months about Computerized Fraud, using a perhaps somewhat odd term.

Take the time and read every page of armstrongecmscam.blogspot.com and you will discover that Socrates with its built-in ambiguity will only line the pockets of Martin Armstrong but it will never even be verifiable with regards to its advertised performance.

The simple reason for the above is that it is based on human interpretation in hindsight.

But one thing is guaranteed: It will effectively impoverish its users short term and long term. Any doubts? Check out the Socrates Subscriber Testimonials.

What else is there to say? Every man and his dog knows it's a scam.

We just need to look at the posting history of that pioneer sloanf exposing Martin Armstrong since 2016 which proves the point: Everything we know today about Martin Armstrong was already known five years ago:

The most interesting and valuable things to read from the discussion for me personally was that i learned where the "smart money" are being parked during these volatile times and second - to read  Mr.Armstrongs' predictions  about his infallible program in depth.
thanks
No way. Armstrong is a terribly looking stupid old dumbass who has nothing better to do besides scamming clueless individuals out of his dusty basement. Imagine having to do something like that in your late 70‘s - how stupid such a life must be and especially how incredibly low?

Yes. In contrast, I still find it satisfying (after years) to spend all day inventing new methods to defeat this bastard and to warn other people not to get trapped in any of his devious schemes.

It becomes fairly obvious now how sinister it all is what he does.

Out of necessity I have to invent new term such as "mega criminal", "hyper shill", "hyper fool" and use existing ones I rarely used before in my life such as "hardcore humanist impostor" while trying to describe what he does.

What I find exceptionally disturbing is that people are getting sucked in, even feeling good about it, becoming an integral part of his Ponzi scheme.

Like now with this incredibly stupid conspiracy theory of hundreds of athletes collapsing (which they usually do quite frequently) but now due to Covid-19 vaccination Huh
Hundreds of uneducated narcissist experts are defending Martin Armstrong because he parrots what they like to hear. They do not realize that they become his tools, funneling more unsuspecting prey into his online store where he sells snake oil costing hundreds.

What actually happens is that these people are paying a price regardless - they are discrediting and isolating themselves simply by association with that criminal. This is an effect that Martin Armstrong actively exploits, and these morons feel like avant-garde freedom fighters while they are actually destroying themselves, a high price in comparison what that super criminal gains from their activities. They lose the game already while they don't even know what the nature of that game is.

Question: What on earth can be done about this tricky problem? I find it almost impossible to change the minds of these victims because what they do feels so sweet to them, while Martin Armstrong tells them what they want to hear, amplifying disinformation.

Now things have changed due to my massive campaigns. Therefore, he is forced to call Government policies scams, and he associates whatever populist hot button topic with some kind of scam so he can do his

This is the source of that phony photo: https://twitter.com/tanderick/status/1456980663320473601?s=20
Most likely it's an Armstrong shill, that guy calls himself Mr. Cycle....but why he's posting such an obvious fake photo when there's actually a real event going on? Meanwhile he posted a photo on his official Twitter-feed that at least is looking quite credible: https://twitter.com/StrongEconomics/status/1456721892958744581?s=20
This guy is of course a shill, but Armstrong might not even know him. Quite likely, he has not even bought the WEC online conference material. How does that work?

He is one of hundreds of copycat scammers who are building their own schemes based on Armstrong's popularity. I am not a twitter expert. I still have to learn a lot there. As an example of this type of shill, look at this YouTube video:
Interview , Cap Trader + Martin Armstrong

I have posted a dozen comments on his video trying to convince him that Armstrong is a scammer and fraud. The trick is he knows it. But he cannot confirm it because that would be against his agenda. So he deleted all my responses.

So by responding to that tweet, you should aim at the people reading his stuff not himself because he does not destroy his own business. Don't ask me. I am busy enough. I need people to help me.

Sometimes it really looks to me as if Armstrong is a paid foreign agent working hand in hand with russian disinfo-operations to destabilize the american/western liberal societies. He's full in line with these russian psyop-tactics.
This is a complex matter. Naturally, I would not rule out what you are saying because I really don't know. I would consider it likely that IF some foreign agency would approach him and pay him that he would accept because he is only after the money no matter what and he does not have a conscience. I am certain about that because I know him better than most people. And BTW in that case he would not know that the source of that money is actually from the East anyway because they would not expose themselves. That is the nature of the game.


Try to convince that guy on reddit to make photos as much as he can from the event. I'm especially interested if there were thugs positioned around the venue like in Rome

As I said, I need help. To get him to do this, please create a reddit throwaway account and ask him directly via chat:

Take a look at this, it’s incredible how he’s still able to gather so much morons all together at one place, but probably could also be just a typical armstrong-styled fake photo. I don’t know what to think of this guy anyway by now, just discovered this on Twitter.

Armstrong is an poor old man that definitely is getting blackmailed by someone to keep on doing what he does. I don’t believe he’s doing this voluntary. No, someone is forcing him to do this shit at this stage in the game because otherwise he gets exposed. Why would he left these hidden coins behind inside his mother’s house? That’s because he won’t be the real beneficiary anyway so he simply tried to let go so these people behind don’t get the money, but somehow they found out about the coins and forced Armstrong to file suit. it’s crazy.

What a poor old man, Somehow I suspect his son-in-law. We have to find out who he is. What name, adress and so one. To get Armstrong’s business down we have to identify who’s behind this poor old man, standing on stage talking constantly the same old shit. Soneone has to get behind in all of this. I do believe Armstrong is not in control of this for a very long time

LOL

Many people have gone down this rabbit hole, thinking that some larger force is behind this. Someone even said the Russians. But it's more simple. It's a clan as you wrote before. The clan that made "The Forecaster" movie. He might not be running that business himself entirely. You are right, his daughter and perhaps his son-in-law. Why? Because these people got sucked into it being able to make a living without actually producing anything of practical value. What do we gain if we know the name of this guy? Let's put it this way:

What do we need to do to get another death threat? Please let me know. Armstrong is not the poor old man being driven and taken advantage of by some other evil forces. He is full of shit as he has always been. He is a cancer of society. That hard core humanist impostor who hates everyone who is more intelligent than him and / or achieved anything in life by honest means.

Whoever drives this, they can't do a thing if their cash cow is broken. We need to break their golden goose so the entire Ponzi scheme falls apart with a big bang. We are almost there.

Martin Armstrong
Sends himself a six Year old Birthday Card


I Want to Thank Everyone for All the Birthday Wishes – Everyone is Going Over-the-Top on This One

That embedded YouTube video is six years old:

Happy Birthday Martin

Everything must be sold multiple times. To the idiot patsies of his scam. He knows he can do it. He knows that his followers are idiots.

Martin Armstrong is a charlatan, and he spent 11 years in jail for that reason but he has not changed.

Regular Socrates Warning Broadcast

Regular Socrates Warning Broadcast
It's a Scam


This is a new type of generic regular broadcast message. It is timely in a way because traffic of this blog is high, and it will hopefully reach a larger audience than before.

Who is Martin Armstrong?

The real story about Martin Armstrong is HERE.


Martin Armstrong is a world renowned criminal. A thief. An unrepentant convicted felon. Worst of the worst. Decades ago, he hired some programmers to write that program for him that he calls Socrates. Used it to trade the markets with money stolen from investors. Lost USD 700 million. Created a USD 3 billion Ponzi scheme to cover up the losses. Was caught and spent 11 years in jail for the crimes, including for failing to return USD 15 million that he stashed away, on top of the losses.

Most likely, after getting out of jail, Martin Armstrong laundered the stashed away money and paid Marcus Vetter to make that whitewash movie "The Forecaster" for him. A web of lies that blames the government for his crimes. The wet dream of a criminal. Now he sells that Socrates software that he used to lose millions, as a subscription service for USD 1,800 per year to the little guy. For the results, see:
Socrates Subscriber Testimonials


This is the true story of a criminal kept safe from his victims, earning USD 15 million of stolen money while behind bars, being fed on US taxpayer expense, and allowed to re-build the longest running scam business in history, using some of that stolen money. See:
ArmstrongEconomics - The Scam Business Model Exposé

So WHAT does he do as Armstrong Economics then?

He is an Internet content aggregator driving traffic into his online store for his three revenue streams: 1) Socrates subscriptions, 2) overpriced books and reports, and 3) overpriced conferences, physical and virtual.

To achieve his objective, he creates campaigns with changing subjects. depending on what sells. He is a populist hot button pusher. For example, he is a Disinformation agent / broker / publisher / propagandist. He fraudulently creates the illusion that he has exclusive access to information, and based on that he sells himself as a conveyor belt for some third party disinformation, using his public blog site which is ideal for that purpose because it wraps complex matters in a manipulative cartoon style, using conspiracy theories.

That blog site conveniently functions as the location of his online shop where he sells his own snake oil costing hundreds. Example:

He most likely sold his global warming denial campaign to mineral oil companies when this was what these companies needed at the time. Now that the oil companies are switching their strategies (see Big oil’s ‘wokewashing’ is the new climate science denialism), guess what, Martin Armstrong's global cooling campaign is over! His new main campaign is now Covid-19 anti-vaccination.

Here is the proof: Interestingly, a prominent manipulation tool that he showed frequently just DISAPPEARED:


Original page URL (did not load 2021-09-18):

Climate Alarmists’ Fraud Exposed

BUT it is still available on the web archive as:


Climate Alarmists’ Fraud Exposed

and the YouTube video is still on YouTube:

My Gift To Climate Alarmists - Tony Heller


So apparently our self-declared gift to humanity Martin Armstrong has been a useful propaganda tool for the oil industry for years - until no longer needed.

Hmm. Perhaps I am reading a bit too much into this climate change subject. Because he is also accidentally deleting pages from his blog and then blames Google for it. See: Censorship. Becomes a conspiracy theory based on which he then sells his oversize influence and Socrates. Buy, Buy, Buy! Even mistakes are immediately converted into sales opportunities. That is what this guy has been doing all his life. In jail for 11 years? No problem. Make a movie about it and become a popular hero. Sell the movie. The movie sells his Socrates. You can't make this up.


As we have exposed many times, Martin Armstrong makes forecasts like a shotgun, let's say for the sake of argument twenty in a row.

The majority will fail and the minority, typically only one will succeed. He then praises the success of the minority successful forecasts, but conveniently forgets about the failures or manipulates them after the fact to appear successful.

Guess why we do not find any track record on any of his sites, only at armstrongecmscam.blogspot.com and Precious Metals Analyst Accountability.

That is why Martin Armstrong is talking to himself in his "public" blog echo chamber and posting in public forums as his own shill. He censors user comments to put it mildly.

So far so good.

The Socrates system with its Artificial Intelligence magic, that according to his claims is free of human bias and never wrong, is supposedly not subject to the above confidence tricks.

WRONG!

The Socrates system, by means of its ambiguity, is not different from the charlatan scheme described above - it just computerizes that scheme of deception as a smoke and mirrors machine.

That is why I have been writing for months about Computerized Fraud, using a perhaps somewhat odd term.

Take the time and read every page of armstrongecmscam.blogspot.com and you will discover that Socrates with its built-in ambiguity will only line the pockets of Martin Armstrong but it will never even be verifiable with regards to its advertised performance.

The simple reason for the above is that it is based on human interpretation in hindsight.

But one thing is guaranteed: It will effectively impoverish its users short term and long term. Any doubts? Check out the Socrates Subscriber Testimonials.

What else is there to say? Every man and his dog knows it's a scam.

We just need to look at the posting history of that pioneer sloanf exposing Martin Armstrong since 2016 which proves the point: Everything we know today about Martin Armstrong was already known five years ago:

Disaster Recovery at the Reddit Armstrong Echo Chamber

Disaster Recovery at the Reddit Armstrong Echo Chamber

The same pattern repeats itself once again. A frustrated user reports some Socrates inconsistencies:

Lame Website

The dictator LateralusYellow deleted the post after it got out of hand.

Subsequently, a fake sock puppet shill user Inevitable_Border146 (account created for that purpose in a hurry) posts a model question, conveniently not forgetting to advertise the USD 149 Socrates training course:

US 10 yr yld (Beginner)

There is a problem with this. Which is that the training course must be garbage otherwise why the question after the training course? Could it mean there is no way to understand Socrates

This looks closer to the truth than anything else  Cool

Hi,

So far existing efforts have been extremely effective. Armstrong is busted. However, there is still a general need that you have identified. Armstrong is not the only actor in this space. The general pattern that these bad actors use is:

They use (paid) shills to create a fake track record. Then they sell wares such as expensive news letters based on that fake track record.

In that respect, Armstrong, the biggest fish,  has eclipsed everyone else in this space, using his propaganda movie "The Forecaster".

My theory is that "The Forecaster" is the major obstacle in the way of the destruction of the Martin Armstrong cult. I must be right because how is it possible otherwise that someone who is visibly busted can still find enough fools to pay him?

We need to elevate the scandal of "The Forecaster" in the public conscience. Please look for example at the closing credits of the movie. It looks like a who is who list of Martin Armstrong's inner circle:

Martin Armstrong
Vicky Armstrong
Michael Campbell (shill, running Michael Campbell's Money Talks)
Ashley Warren (ex Armstrong Economics CEO)
Erwin Pletsch (made Socrates training video)
Abbas Carmody (World Economic Conference WEC Organizer)
Larry Edelson (Futures trader old friend and shill)
... Likely not complete, need more insight

My question:

What are the funding contributions (quantified) of

Filmförderung Baden-Würtemberg
Deutsche Filmförderfonds
SWR Südwestrundfunk
Film Perspektive
EIKON
TV Plus
NDR
medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg GmbH
nordmedia

Who makes a movie where it is clear from the start that the content is in conflict with the law and that there is no way to make a profit because it is banned from the outset?

So if you are serious about making that video as you posted, and even willing to pay for it, it should be appealing to you to get some answers to these questions. What are they?

As I said, I have been effective. To the extent that Martin Armstrong invited me into his inner circle and then issued a death threat against me when I declined. I must have done something right. But I acknowledge that the job is not yet done. "The Forecaster" myth must be destroyed. Thoroughly.

Cheers

The Underworld of Martin Armstrong's YouTube Mind Control
by
AnonymousCoder

The Underworld of
Martin Armstrong's YouTube
Mind Control

Here I reveal one of

Martin Armstrong's techniques that he uses to control that parallel universe that he has created for himself. As an example, I use that recent YouTube video Uranium Oil - Ross Clark. Freedom, Taxes - Maxime Bernier. The Great Reset - Martin Armstrong. AMY.V.

I have watched the YouTube publishing channel talkdigitalnetwork for a while.

I am going to infer that Martin Armstrong pays this channel to interview him, and that he pays them later to delete unfavorable comments on a video one by one.

I can also infer that it is the strategy of that channel to NOT ban commenting users as to maximize profit from the chargeable service of deleting comments of the same user repeatedly. It's some kind of protection money that they earn from Martin Armstrong and likely others. I guess that a ban would be substantially more expensive because banning a user channel wide would limit the reach of their channel and therefore reduce their income from that perspective.

I can do all this from an armchair analytical perspective because I have archived all comments so far posted on that video and many others, and I show you the deleted comments with their respective authors and time stamps, and the approximate times when these comments were deleted. I am not going to do this for all of them and not in exact time order because it would be too tedious an boring, a few examples should be sufficient.

Work in progress, to be continued.

Armstrong returning
to the Crime scene

He just wrote this to me:

I have hundreds of people working for me creating YouTube accounts and other social media accounts posting positive reviews and feedback.

 I STILL GET fresh victims daily  Tongue



I don't have any doubts about him getting new ones daily, but the attrition rate is faster. That's the name of the game.

What to do? Your Campaign!

What to do?
Your Campaign!

Reacting constructively to Martin Armstrong's disinformation pomp is difficult because it requires infrastructure that typically costs too much to acquire and to maintain for a single individual.

Fortunately I have built this infrastructure, and I am happy to share it with you!

It allows me to post public contact links of people who have not been responded to with messages of my awareness campaign. This is a sound concept that you can tap into. Below I will provide you with a set of links that you can choose from to respond to.

I am also providing you with effective messages that have proven to be tolerated by YouTube's spam filtering algorithm.

You would want to copy the message below to the clipboard, then click on a link. Then reply to the message shown with the pasted text.

The (long) message:

After posting your reply, you may want to check whether your response actually sticks. By logging out of your YouTube account and checking after 20 seconds.

It the message does not stick, try a shorter one like this:

Martin Armstrong is running a scam. A predatory business. For the details, see:
Socrates Subscriber Testimonials
and
Martin Armstrong The Hyper Fool
Any search engine will find these documents for you.

I will check these links, and I will replace them with new ones after they are spent. The links are often old, but this does not really matter much because what counts is the fact that there are REAL people behind them who get notified by your response.

Good luck!
