Memories of Marting Armstrong WEC conference in Philadelphia in December 2011 .
Just Before , Marty was in jail and published interesting papers and analysis written with a pencil and on paper toilet !
Then Marty is released and organizes a conference in December 2011
As I was part of a group of private investors in Paris, one of my friend Pierre organized a trip to attend the conference.
general idea was :
Parisboy is free, he is retired, he has time to go
Parisboy understands , speaks and read english
Parisboy knows almost all about Waves and Cycles then he (we) could benefit fully from such conference
etc
Budget was around 6.000 $ - Fees 2.500 + plane + hotel + visa + ....etc 50 % coming from Pierre
As I am a serious guy , I read ALL papers I had from Armstrong + all those I could put my hands on through the net.
Then I made a synthesis of the dispersed thoughts and methodologies Marty sparsed in his papers.
Moreover I read all the "transition" papers Marty send the participants before the Conference.
I was ready ! summarizing all during the flight. Ready for the examination before the Master.
Arrived at friday evening, met 2 other french guys coming also at their expenses. Excellent dinner in a nearby restaurant from Louisiane.
Skype with Pierre : ready to go.
Next morning - Great breakfast with the other participants. 2 nd Skype : READY
During the morning conference , slight deception Marty talked about all and nothing, general life and politics and economy, summarized his story, his life in jail . We knew already all, having read his papers.
I thought : OK Marty has to vent the pressure, it is his first conference AFTER jail, he has to keep synch with us .
Intermede : nice buffet lunch before the afternoon conference . I WAS READY
we came back into the room .
5 Minutes after having put my ass on my chair , I knew I was fucked, that we were fucked.
We found on the table before each of us a copy of a "methodology " paper we had already received (and read and studied) !
And Marty during 4 hours (14 h / 18 h) just READ above paper with some comments.
On a big screen we could see OLD charts published years ago by him, not one were updated
after the conference 3 rd Skype with Pierre : WE WERE FUCKED ! MAN
nice dinner in the same restaurant
the next day 2 conferences of Marty chit-chatting about Congress, laws, The Economy , Gold, Silver etc - kind of small talk answering questions
very nice dinner again after the evening cocktail.
Nice trip, excellent tourism - visit of the Gettysburg Battlefield, roundtrip around Philadelphia with pictures of the Rocky monument, visit of the Declaration of Independence, visit of the USS New Jersey
I WAS FUCKED
Thanks Marty for the excellent food : lobsters and seafood from Louisiana and the good tourism
For the fun :
I came back from Philadelphia to Paris with soaps, napkins, pencils, letter paper, envelopes all with the printed name of the Westin Hotel where was the Conference to prove my friends I REALLY was in Philadelphia and did not stayed in Paris cashing their money !
Thanks Marty
