Martin Armstrong's Agenda

The understanding of Martin Armstrong's agenda is very helpful in the context of explaining his actions. Most other articles of this site focus on the actions, specific behavior and tricks, so this page sits at a somewhat higher level because it digs deeper while at the same time it looks at his actions from the bird's view perspective.

The Profit Motive

One of his rather obvious motives is to extract money from his followers, and I already described this in multiple articles. His options to have a viable business are rather limited due to his lack of education and the loss of time and energy spent in prison and on legal disputes. That has left him with what he knows best, how to scam people.

The Need for Themes

Themes are used by Martin Armstrong's campaigns that revolve around them.

I need to focus on these themes to understand what drives his actions. Some of these themes are anti Government, anti New York and its "corrupt" justice system, anti California, anti Klaus Schwab and his WEF, anti Covid-19 vaccination, anti Bill Gates, anti George Soros, anti Ukraine / pro Vladimir Putin and finally anti "Collective West" and anti American. In my research, I need to separate these themes and watch them.

Things that don't add up with Martin Armstrong

I made an involuntary highly interesting experiment when I deprived him of the possibility to monetize his themes.

During my Zero Hedge campaign, I replied to every one of his marketing messages with my well-prepared revelations. This campaign did in fact turn every one of his messages into NEGATIVE publicity and marketing. From the profit motive perspective, obviously, he should have stopped his marketing immediately, to save his business.

In fact, he reduced marketing of his assets to the point that he often did not even mention his name in these messages. That is proof that a profit motive was involved and that he understood the effect of my campaign.

But he continued posting his messages matching his themes with undiminished frequency and intensity. Apparently there was no financial benefit and it appeared to be a waste of energy and time, especially because I still replied to these messages even while they were NOT marketing messages. This didn't make sense because he sent his messages at a cost which is the reduction of his profit.

The solution to this perplexing dilemma is that his themes do not exclusively serve the purpose of generating profit. That is only one part. The other part is the following:

The Revenge of Martin Armstrong

Before I present my own analysis, I start with a quote from a Zero Hedge user reply to one of Martin Armstrong's articles there:

The Duke of Moral Hazard commenting on "The West Needs WWIII" - Martin Armstrong Warns "There's No Return To Normal Here" 

(emphasis added)

He predicted Eurozone interest rates would go thru the roof 18 months ago. He gets so much wrong it's hard to take him seriously. I suspect he wants war as some sort of revenge against the guys who jailed him. A weird guy.

and here in the Free Republic forum (emphasis added):

Chad C. Mulligan in The Free Republic Forum

I repeat that post to notify any new lurkers that Armstrong is a convicted felon who spent 11 years in jail for cheating investors out of $700 million and hiding $15 million in assets from regulators. He remains unrepentant, and appears to write such slag as Delta7 keeps posting for revenge. A real sociopath, if not an outright psychopath.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_A._Armstrong

My own conclusion has long been that Armstrong has ambitions of a necrophiliac that are based on revenge. It seems to be amplified by the effect that demonizing almost everything around him makes him look and feel better in comparison. Again, following the style of this site, I let Armstrong himself provide the hard proof of this concept.

 The Revenge of Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; What is the catch? Why do you do everything you do with no charge. What is the hook? Nobody does something for nothing.

ANSWER: ... Secondly; It is my greatest revenge against the evil power in banks of New York, the mainstream press, CFTC, and SEC all conniving against the public for the benefit of maintaining their power. ...

 

Armstrong's Revenge Targets

There are too many targets for me to count. He attacks all people who have achieved measurable results in life unlike him who has not achieved anything. He attacks engineers, computer programmers, medical practitioners. He attacks mainstream science. On the other hand, he claims to be a computer programmer who has created the only functioning AI system in the world.

Against those who expose him he goes as far as issuing death threats. See:

Martin Armstrong’s Death Threat and Martin Armstrong The Stochastic Terrorist

Most recently it has become obvious that Martin Armstrong wages a personal vendetta against what he calls "The Collective West". This is a term that was coined by Russians, and accordingly, Vladimir Putin appears to be he favorite hero whom he calls "Vlad".

From the perspective of many, he acts like a Russian stooge. See Martin Armstrong and the Russians.

But as I wrote above, I believe that this is just a logical conclusion of his general revenge and how he backed himself into a corner executing it (without effect). If this sounds like hyperbole, check this out:

No one brings up the most obvious cause? The good Lord is removing his hand of “ protection “….and why wouldn’t he?

Biblical history reveals this over and over again….there is a BIG difference with a nation’s population not observing God’s laws and practicing abominations, but the nation that codifies into law these abominations ( the US- in fact the collective West) will suffer immensely….as we are beginning to witness.

This is already the logical conclusion of this article. What follows are just anecdotes that demonstrate his state of mind and highlight some other inconsistencies in his behavior.

A Sample:  Everything is Bad

Martin Armstrong has given hundreds of interviews on social media such as YouTube. The interviews are usually in a setting where the interview host is an ally of Martin Armstrong, perhaps because Armstrong pays them. The hosts also control the comments section and more often than not, they delete any comments that are critical of Armstrong (Echo chamber environment).

However, one of these interviews is an exception. It is embedded below. It was first pulled from the internet, perhaps after pressure from Armstrong. But it re-appeared as an audio only video in which this negative sentiment I want to show is preserved:

... 1:11:43 um basically everything we were ever taught in school was wrong uh that just about everything else in his in school from monetary history was wrong but um that was really the bottom line ...

This just indicates that his attitude is unbearable for a normal person and that is what I wanted to show.

After you have listened to Armstrong's word salad about why it was everyone else's fault that he spent 11 years in prison, here he tells us another story once again:

 

 

As I wrote, it's unbearable.

Martin Armstrong's other Irrational Motives

Some of his actions cannot be explained easily because they appear to be irrational. It would be a mistake to rule out such a possibility. One example is the harassment of the Heritage Auction House by claiming ownership of his booty, the hidden gold coins cache. This does not make sense from the perspective of a normal person. See:

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

There was obviously no way that he could have won this case, and the fact that he was ordered to pay Heritage compensation proves the point.

From this perspective, there is another possible motive behind his apparently irrational perseverance:

He wants to simply hurt me and prove to me that he cannot be deterred. He apparently thinks that something will happen to me that stops me from interfering with his business. He even prayed to God to that effect.
