Martin Armstrong's Populist Hot-Button Topic Campaign

Back up to Armstrong Economics - The Scam Business Model Exposé 

Martin Armstrong uses any populist hot button topic as Clickbait on his blog site and associated sites and social media sites..

He often claims to be connected to Sources behind the Curtain who have inside knowledge about the subject. He is not qualified in any way in any of the subjects because he is uneducated and spent a long time of his life, eleven years of it, in jail, where he refined his fraudulent sales tricks further.

He cannot quote any qualified peers commenting on his activities in any of the fields covering the subjects. Peers would not even acknowledge they know him. Therefore, he praises himself  via shills or by using the Fake Fan Email Confidence Trick.

In his campaigns, he often fuels divisions, hate and fear with disinformation and conspiracy theories gleaned from other more relevant sites and re-publishes them. Sometimes these articles are just verbatim / copied / embedded without comments. Other times he sprinkles them with some of his standard historical anecdotes. This type of content aggregation makes up the bulk of his published material.

If any of his blog material contains his own comments, then he does not miss any opportunity to claim that his Socrates forecasting engine predicted the events covered in the article. This is the perfect sales setup because Martin Armstrong claims that Socrates predicts everything ranging from stock prices, currencies, war, elections and sports trends to climate change and earthquakes. Not surprisingly, Socrates is available for sale as a subscription service.

To cover a wide spectrum of potential scam victims (clients), sometimes based on the fear he generates with his campaigns, he sells matching  Martin Armstrong Books or Solution Conferences  (physical and virtual) with eye watering prices in his on-line store. This is nothing more than monetizing fireside chat type of hate campaigns. The published material does not have any constructive or novel elements, but many anecdotes, copies from Wikipedia and other books, sensationalism, hate and fear and even incitement to violence. But a relation to his products does not even need to exist, as long as the topics generate web traffic in his shopping cart. Because as I wrote above, he often praises Socrates in campaign subjects that are unrelated to it.

Martin Armstrong's campaign publications often exaggerate the relevance and importance of the underlying subject, sometimes to absurd levels. The material is designed to confirm the view of the targeted audience and make their point. By doing so, he creates the illusion of success of some underlying political movement.

Then this material is re-published by affiliated channels and even translated into foreign languages many times via his large network of shills, and of course by his followers who like it as their own campaign material.

Subsequently, other more volatile 3rd parties not directly connected with this set-up re-publish his articles once again, trying to use it as advertising Clickbait aiming to promote their own often unrelated products and services, such as with Twitter Retweets. Obviously, this is a snowball effect without merit, a Ponzi scheme in its own right.

Martin Armstrong switches between subjects in a moment as required, depending on which subject is trending the most at the current time. This has a profound negative effect for those parties who are negatively impacted by the ignorance and conspiracy theories in their respective fields. While their resources are focused on education in their respective fields (such as health, social security and environment), they are not prepared to defend themselves against such a multi-faceted ever changing threat which also includes climate change denial, nonsense in the area of finance and many areas of science and technology such energy, resources and population control.

My approach is to develop a generic method to destroy a predatory business and show how to do it by example of that big fish  Martin Armstrong. Because it is an efficient application of the piecemeal approach.

And it worked beautifully. For the proof, see: The Defeat of Martin Armstrong
