Disinformation

No article about disinformation produced by Martin Armstrong would be complete without mentioning the movie THE FORECASTER (archive link - original web site deleted). It was produced on his initiative (although he claimed it was not) with the aim to clear his name to distract from his past criminal conviction.

At the very minimum this seems to be the conclusion of A Los Angeles Times critic who described the film as intended primarily as a name-clearing platform for Armstrong to relate his version of the events and that it lacked perspective due to its failure to present commentary from authorities (please refer to Martin Armstrong's Wikipedia article.

This piece of disinformation has had a large impact on the decision making process of people who got sucked into his scam. For example, please refer to: Fraudulent Blog Post Revisions
I got sucked in by the Forecaster movie - that’s a compelling story.

The truth is that  Martin Armstrong committed a crime - he defrauded investors. He used money effectively stolen from investors to trade using his Socrates software. This generated spectacular losses of US $700 million. He then tried to hide these losses by creating a US $3 billion Ponzi scheme. This earned him the 11 year prison time. Before going to prison, he stashed away US $15 million of that stolen money and failed to return it. It is as simple as that.

Furthermore, new incontrovertible (self-incriminating) evidence has surfaced that Martin Armstrong is guilty of some of his committed crimes (Contempt of Court, Hiding assets) which he still denies:

Martin Armstrong guilty as charged for Contempt of Court because of his hiding coins based on the latest news

A related piece of disinformation is the Aug 19 2015 claim that this film was banned in the United States. It never was - the message is in response to the fact that its reviews are devastating which it aims to conceal and to make the file more interesting.

 

After reading a few dozen pages of  Martin Armstrong's blog site, it becomes obvious that a large portion of his material is disinformation. I cannot possibly keep track of all of it.The interesting characteristic part that common to most of them is the following:

His disinformation pieces are recycled disinformation, meaning that they had been debunked by 3rd party sources before he published them. His motivation for doing so (and the motivation of most charlatans) is most likely:

1) the fact that less intelligent people are more easily duped by such disinformation and by extension are more likely to become victims of his often related scams.

2) that he is a professional disinformation agent who derives 3rd party income from spreading it. This is extremely likely because spreading disinformation hurts his own credibility, a cost that he would want to be compensated for.

After consideration that spreading disinformation without direct benefit comes at a cost, the question remains what would be the benefit of doing it (apart from receiving monetary compensation)?

The answer is that the 3rd parties, the parties who wish to spread such messages using a professional disinformation agent, these parties enjoy the benefit of deniability. They remain anonymous while engaging in illegal or devious activities. Given the increasing amount of disinformation that Martin Armstrong spreads (easily 2 disinformation blogs per day), it appears that he is gravitating towards this type of malicious activity after the income of his own scams has dried up, especially after I started running my scam awareness campaigns.

In order to facilitate these disinformation campaigns and shield himself against criticism, Martin Armstrong runs an elaborate scheme of smearing the fact checkers and even Wikipedia, creating conspiracy theories around them. see:

Some pieces of disinformation found on Martin Armstrong's web site and affiliated sites (impossible to cover them all):

 In CNN is Dying – Thank God! Martin Armstrong claims via his sock puppet on Mar 24, 2023:

COMMENT: Marty, You have a bigger readership than CNN. They dropped to 80,000 primetime. I think you are well beyond 600,000 these days.

The fact is that his blog site has only 0.26% the readership of the web site cnn.com alone. Proof as of Mar 25 2023:

armstrongeconomics.com visits per month: 1.4M

cnn.com visits per month: 542.2M


In Do Not Fear Nuclear War – You Can Survive! Martin Armstrong writes on Mar 1, 2023:

... We have Socrates to show us the timing.

You see his conclusion, the last sentence of his article. The worst and most distasteful Armstrong piece I have ever seen.

 

In If Someone is Charged with a Ponzi Scheme – It is Always a Cover-Up Martin Armstrong writes on Jan 19, 2023:

We always hear that some high-profile case is always a giant Ponzi Scheme. As soon as you hear that, you know the charges are FAKE NEWS!

He tells his readers that Ponzi schemes do not exist.

 

In It’s Snowing in Middle East for First Time in History Martin Armstrong writes on Dec 29, 2022:

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I just wanted to inform you as a loyal reader of your blog, it is snowing here in Kuwait for the first time in history. Your computer is the only non-passionate forecaster I have ever encountered. It relays just the facts without an agenda.

Thank you so much. You have a large group of supporters here in the Middle East.

SBB

REPLY: This entire climate change agenda is a hoax.

The quoted news page is from 28 January 2016, almost 7 years old. So it's a propaganda lie.

 

 In Germany Ordering Farmers No Fertilizer Martin Armstrong writes on Dec 04, 2022:

... Germany is to comply virtually immediately with the EU directive to end fertilizer....

The quoted German newspaper article is misrepresented. It clearly reports that the directive is designed to reduce fertilizer use in selected areas to limit ground water pollution by toxic nitrogen to safe levels.

 

In CDC Caught Manipulating Data Martin Armstrong writes on Nov 30, 2022:

... around 8% reported requiring medical care after their vaccination....
debunked by Posts Distort Misleading Analysis of COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Data  

... A rigorous vaccine safety monitoring system has shown that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and only rarely have serious side effects. But an article shared on social media falsely says that CDC data show more than 18 million people “were injured so badly” by a Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine “that they had to go to the hospital.”"

Armstrong must be really desperate as he.quotes the well known charlatan Del Bigtree. It is a well known strategy between charlatans to quote each other.


 In Twitter Naturally Suspended Me Before Musk  Martin Armstrong writes on Nov 28, 2022:

...Of course, Twitter naturally suspended my account for having the audacity to say that the COVID response was destroying the world economy by locking everyone down.."...

The truth is that the Twitter account he refers to has been idle since 2011 (12 tweets). No tweets about Covid-19. Last tweet 2015 - 7 years ago: Martin A. Armstrong @ArmstrongEcon at Twitter

He obviously thinks his readers are idiots and don't check. I did check this account daily and I never saw it suspended. Why now this blog post, after the "fact"?

I guess to collect another badge of honor from his suckers. 

By the way he NEVER made any statements regarding COVID on Twitter until this day because he was well aware of the fact that this would have cost him the suspension of his account. Coward!


In Trudeau’s Advice for the Poor – Kill Yourself  Martin Armstrong writes on May 18, 2022:

...At first, the measure was intended for the terminally ill, then the mentally ill, and now it encourages death for those "too poor to continue living with dignity."...
and

In Too Poor to Continue Living with Dignity – Canadian Eugenics Martin Armstrong writes on Nov 15, 2022:

... Poverty or temporary hardship is now considered a terminal illness for which there is no cure besides death...
and

In Medical Murder in Canada Martin Armstrong writes on Nov 17, 2022:

... Under this pretense, they could kill the entire homeless population, everyone living in poverty...
debunked by ‘Disturbing’: Experts troubled by Canada’s euthanasia laws  

... Today, any adult with a serious illness, disease or disability can seek help in dying."

There is no evidence that people are encouraged to kill themselves because of poverty, or that poverty is considered an illness as Armstrong claims. 

This example also shows that Martin Armstrong will never run out of subjects because he keeps repeating the same content as long as he thinks the message will attract fresh victims of his scams.

It is especially concerning that Martin Armstrong has no qualifications whatsoever let alone medical, and that he is not exactly pro-life because he issued his own death threat.

 

In Sweden Will Not Meet Agenda 2030 Martin Armstrong writes on Oct 24, 2022:

... New Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is not heeding to the Green agenda.....
debunked by Sweden's climate policy is in turmoil  

... "Sweden will honor the Paris Agreement," said Ms. Busch.....

 In Pfizer Never Tested the Vaccine Against Transmission Martin Armstrong writes on Oct 14, 2022:

... They knew the truth, but Pfizer claimed that the vaccine would prevent transmission....
debunked by Posts mislead on Pfizer COVID vaccine’s impact on transmission  

 

In The Real IRS Hunt Martin Armstrong writes on Aug 28 2022:

They do not need 87,000 new agents, armed to the teeth, to hunt down just 614 billionaires...
debunked by Fact Check-The IRS is not hiring thousands of armed agents, job ads show opening for specialized unit  

 

In Trump Raid Deathblow to Democracy – Martin Armstrong Martin Armstrong's shill Greg Hunter writes: 

Armstrong’s “Socrates” computer program shows Joe Biden has just 12% of support in America.

This extreme hyperbole raises the following questions:

  1. Why does he disqualify his own flagship Socrates to a point where one can prove its unworthiness at the time of the statement, without having to wait for a forecast failure to play out?
  2. Who pays Martin Armstrong to put himself into such an untenable position?

 

In Has the Sea Level Really Risen? Martin Armstrong questions anthropogenic sea level rise on Jan 28, 2022:

... Welcome to the Climate Scam. 

Debunked by multiple sources e.g. Post deeply wrong about rate of rising sea levels  and Scientist Schools Congressmen on Climate

 

NASA Finally Admits It’s Going to Get Colder That Jan 20, 2017 page title is really a lie because the quoted article does not say that it is going to get colder. Similar claims are debunked by multiple sources e.g. Fact check: NASA says modern climate change caused by human activity, not solar orbital cycles  

and

Fact Check-NASA did not announce that climate change is only driven by variations to Earth’s orbital position relative to the sun

 

In Capital Controls in Europe Have Arrived Martin Armstrong writes on Aug 1 2022:

I warned that all my sources were confirming, three very high up, that Europe would quietly impose capital controls on June 30, 2020. That has now taken shape. Europeans and not allowed to send more than 6,000 euros per month to another account outside the EU., ...

That is complete nonsense even in the context of the article itself where a reader clearly describes the security limit of an individual bank put on ONLINE INTERNET transactions not wire transfers. It protects the online customers from hackers emptying their accounts.

97% Scientists Do Not Agree with Climate Change or the Solution is debunked by (amongst others) ‘Case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans. Interestingly, Martin Armstrong undermines his entire piece by his ridiculous final calculation:

75 of 10,000 = 0.0075%

He is wrong by a factor of 100 in this single calculation alone. Trust his computer Socrates!

 

Gold Discovery in Uganda Rocks the World is debunked by Our much acclaimed huge gold discovery is mere fool’s gold

Hospitalizations More Likely Among Vaccinated is a blatant lie because of two reasons:

  1. The MSN linked article does not exist, is made up
  2. ResearchGate which he quotes without providing a link as conducting the study does not do such studies.

In The Fraud Behind Greta Thunberg Martin Armstrong writes: 

... I have previously warned that Greta Thunberg has been a puppet.
... she has been allegedly manipulated by not just Greenpeace, but by Schwab as well.
... if she has been nothing more than a puppet used to sell climate change which is a major part of this “Build Back Better” agenda that is orchestrated from the World Economic Forum.

This is is a bad joke because:

  1. Greta Thunberg is perhaps one of the most difficult persons to discredit
  2. There is zero evidence of anything what Martin Armstrong writes in this hit piece.

Mr Martin Armstrong - go and buy yourself a new pocket calculator!

Was 2021 the Peak for Davos?

Reliable sources have confirmed that Klaus Schwab and even attendees have been getting such threats of violence and death that he has postponed Davos in January for the first time, claiming it is due to the pandemic, which is not true. Schwab is, at last, starting to realize that there is a price to his academic theories. ...

Schwab is going to discover that there is a huge price to pay for his bizarre ideas that you can destroy the world economy in 2 to 3 years and build it all back better, GREEN, in the blink of an eye. ...

I seriously question a career at the World Economic Forum as being viable in the years ahead. Employees will have to live in a bunker underground and never leave. Working for Schwab may be a highly dangerous career post-2021. World leaders who will be a great risk even attending these events, ...
Fact is:

Geneva, 20 December 2021 – The World Economic Forum will defer its Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, in the light of continued uncertainty over the Omicron outbreak.

9/11 – the False Flag Allegation & Bin Laden

The Deep State knew it was going to take place and they not only allowed it to unfold, but they also planned the event and used it to destroy WTC7 and the Pentagon to hide critical evidence that would have exposed (1) the corrupt bankers in New York City, and (2) the missing money from the Pentagon budget.

Recently, a new tape has emerged from a private camera that filmed the collapse of World Trade Center #7 from a different angle – the only one that no plane ever hit. I have stated that the coincidence with the WTC7 collapse was a wipeout of evidence...
Fact is:

World Trade Center 7 didn’t collapse for ‘no apparent reason' 

According to the US government’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which investigated the reasons behind the collapse for years, a number of fires are behind World Trade Center 7’s collapse.
