Abe clears the way for Japan to now engage in war by reinterpreting the constitution rather than altering it. The War Cycle is just amazing how it just takes time and economics to turns and everything is suddenly undone.

QUESTION: Hi Martin Given the cycle work that you do, it appears that Gold had a 12 year Bull Market Cycle from 1968 to 1980 followed by a 19 year (one metonic cycle) bear market, followed by a 12 year Bull Market from 1999 to 2011. Does that mean we have entered another 19 year Bear […]

QUESTION: Marty; Your model correctly forecast the birth of the Arab Spring in 2010 that was 31.4 years from the Shiite Revolution in Iran back in 1979. You also said that the subsequent 8.6 to 13 years would bring rising civil unrest that would emerge into civil war when the War Cycle turned up in […]

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; Your work on the cycles of war has been duly noted in government. Governments are starting to take notice and have begun to fund studies of protest groups. Even the Guardian is reporting this trend. In the United States it is called the “Minerva Research Initiative,” and it has been around since […]

COMMENT: Dear Martin, One of the knocks against a consumption tax has always been its potential effect on the deficit. It seems that argument is now irrelevant in the age of QE. This is the perfect time to move to a consumption tax (esp. w/ IRS scandal) GB REPLY: We did a lot of research into […]

QUESTION: Not sure if this is even possible. Can the consumer savings interest rates go to a level at or below Zero that will drag down the lending interest rate lower?

I was asked my opinion about David Suzuki’s warning about overpopulation growth. It was brilliantly done and mathematically it is correct. His math explanation is applicable to the Sovereign Debt Crisis and how it will become a Phase Transition. Nevertheless, when applied to anything there is a self-defeating check and balance that I am surprised […]
