Historical Tweaking: The Sea People Invasions

On historical facts Martin Armstrong often changes the fact or some facts to fit his narrative.

Example:

In his blog in Charlemagne, Vikings & Global Warming and in The First Clean Air Act was 535AD, in the graph he places "Sea People Invasions" midway 1000 bc and 500 bc.

Big bullshit.

See Sea Peoples and other sources where the invasions are placed 1250-1150 bc. Error of about 750 years.

Example:

In his blog in Is Biden also a War Criminal Bringing Civilization to a Complete Collapse?  he postulates without any proof whatsoever:

Rome lasted for 1,000 years, but it collapsed in just 8.6 years.

Big bullshit.

According to Height and decline of imperial Rome:

When Theodosius died, in 395, Rome split into Eastern and Western empires. The West was severely shaken in 410, when the city of Rome was sacked by the Visigoths, a wandering nation of Germanic peoples from the northeast. The fall of Rome was completed in 476

So from this source, one could argue that the fall took between 66 and 81 years. Any number could be used depending on what threshold one looks at. A decline never has a fixed duration unless some arbitrary cutoff criteria are defined.

For the background of Martin Armstrong's "8.6" numerology, See:

Economic Confidence Model, just a play on numbers of 8.6 

Another example:

In his blog in The Ukraine War is Really the Start of World War III  he postulates again without any proof whatsoever:

For the life of me, war just seems to be inherent in our species. Only the Romans ever discovered how to create peace through free trade.

Big bullshit.

The Pax Romana was for 200 years and taxes were collected: trade wasn’t free. According to Reforms of Augustus:

The central treasury was linked to the treasuries of all provinces. Together with the expansion and improvement of Roman coinage, two new taxes were created - a poll tax and a land tax - which completely funded the imperial system. This new system provided a stimulus to trade throughout the empire, leading to stability, security, and prosperity.
