Coast to Coast Radio Interview

In the first half, former hedge fund manager and economic forecaster Martin Armstrong shared insights from his groundbreaking predictive computer program, Socrates. Armstrong created the software in the 1970s to track global capital movements, and it accurately forecasted major financial events such as the 1987 Black Monday stock market crash. He soon discovered his code’s potential to predict a wide range of global events. “If there’s going to be a war, somebody knows in advance, and they start moving their money,” he stated. Armstrong recalled the moment when his program predicted the onset of civil war in Lebanon. “It said the country would fall apart in eight days… [and] eight days later, the civil war began,” he noted. He also insisted that Socrates had anticipated the COVID-19 outbreak. “It was more or less orchestrated,” he said, before revealing that powerful executives knew the virus was coming.

The conversation touched on the political landscape, with Armstrong sharing that Socrates predicted a Republican victory in the 2024 elections. “It doesn’t matter who the candidate is,” he remarked. While on the topic of current events, he addressed escalating global tensions, particularly the potential for World War III. He noted that various governments in Europe are preparing for conflict, warning that “everybody over there… just wants war.” Armstrong expressed concern about the rhetoric surrounding nuclear threats, criticizing the belief that “Russia will never push the button.” Predicting significant changes by 2032, he claimed, “You’re looking at the end of republics,” and expressed his hope for a shift towards real democracy.
