I am still wishing many of you would raise this point with Armstrong. I am tired of emailing him.

Again to reiterate the emphatic point I made upthread, the elephant in the room that Martin Armstrong is apparently missing is that the 5000 year low interest rates and deflation is because we are shifting into a Knowledge Age wherein most of the old world capital is dying because knowledge creation can't be financed with usury. The bubble in government debt is because most people in the world haven't moved forward to the Knowledge Age and the boomers are still living in the 1950s:

Quote from: Armstrong
So now turning to the VELOCITY of money: a decline here demonstrates that people are HOARDING cash (rising in purchasing power as assets decline), as well as banks (Excess Reserves). We have companies buying back their own stock, further shrinking the supply of equities, and fueling the deflationary spiral. The Excess Reserves at the Fed show just how much banks are hoarding cash.

Therefore, we can see the deflationary trend and the contraction right here. The U.S. share market has been at the high-end of trading, but it did not breakout beyond our second target of 18500 on the Dow. The market indeed doubled as we warned, coming out of the hold in the 6,000 level and passing 12,000, which is the MINIMUM requirement to start a Phase Transition. We nearly tripled by the 2015.75 target beating our minimum doubling requirement, but this was still not a Phase Transition. Why? Retail participation has been at record lows in stocks. This is a bubble in government debt — it is the reason why we are at a 5000-year low in interest rates.


And again his myopic misunderstanding is that why banking institutions can be destroyed, individuals within the elite run off like bandits with the loot. The elite don't own less of the industrial world since prior such failures that Armstrong raves wipe out the banksters.

Quote from: Armstrong
Banking establishments are some of the WORST investors throughout history. They always go bust and government devours them every single time. Yes, the government has been protecting the bankers for they have also been fueling the debt and assisting governments to borrow. Therein lies their own demise. EVERY major banking house has been destroyed by this very same flirtation with power. They are like moths attracted to the flame of a candle, hoping to dance by the light and never realizing their wings may get burned.

I'd like to see a decentralized version of something like Microworker (Usertesting, Clixsense) with its API, paying out in crypto-currency, and where someone could have accounts and have workers working under his account and taking a % cut.

Fact is that someone needs to provide the office, the computers, the fast internet connections. Most of the world doesn't have access to these yet. I mean if you really want to scale this sort of thing.

Another great idea for me to fund or program soon...

I was a Perot volunteer (Ventura County, CA) going house-to-house doing sit in talks with people after knocking on their door. I attended the big rally convention in San Diego. I was extremely dejected after he quit and swore to never waste my time in politics again. At the time, I was also suspicious that there was some fraud hiding and that his big businesses had been threatened. Well now I read maybe he was corrupt or just duped into helping Bill Clinton defeat the Republicans.

http://www.armstrongeconomics.com/archives/36990

Quote from: Armstrong
Why did Ross Perot back out of running for president? There was, of course, the lame excuse that was a total lie.

Perot eventually stated the reason was that he received threats that digitally altered photographs would be released by the Bush campaign to sabotage his daughter’s wedding.[30] Regardless of the reasons for withdrawing, his reputation was badly damaged. Many of his supporters felt betrayed and public opinion polls would subsequently show a large negative view of Perot that was absent prior to his decision to end the campaign.[31]
Source: Wikipedia
There was the rumor that there were threats of investigating his airport. His airport does not handle tourists, only cargo. It was alleged that a lot of illegal things were going in and out of his hub. Yet, then there was the Clinton connection. A deal was allegedly promised to Perot that Hillary’s healthcare proposal would give his computer company the contract for the entire healthcare system she was designing. That failed to get through, but allegedly Perot was a ringer to swing the election to Clinton in 1992. This was just another one of those corruption views with the Clintons that people would say you better count your fingers after shaking hands.

Perot was in the running, but his campaign did not seem focused on winning. What did emerge was Bill Clinton, who suddenly soared from third in the polls to becoming President of the United States. Perot blamed the Republicans for creating doctored pictures of his daughter. Those claims or excuses were pretty crazy. Any doctored photo would have been detected. I was even asked by leading members in the Republican Party to meet with Perot. I was in Tokyo and agreed to fly to Dallas for a meeting on my way home. That meeting was scheduled for the weekend that he pulled out of the race.

Perot, claiming to be a fiscal conservative, made no sense when he suddenly blamed Republicans knowing those allegations were benefiting Clinton. Perot exited, then reentered, based upon allegation that the Clintons’ offered him a deal he could not refuse — the biggest contract in computing history. He dropped from 39% before his crazy exit to 19% after reentering, so those votes were key to getting Clinton elected.

Larry Nichols, Clinton’s key inside man who knew what was going on back then, was the a key witness for the prosecution during his impeachment. Nichols allegedly admitted that Perot was a “ringer” to win the election for Clinton.

I am going to suggest two things.

First is a referral link for filling out surveys. I do them and she could easily earn more that $5 a day
Second is a transcription service that I also use. Very good pay per hour. But, must be excellent typist. (no referral)

1.http://www.bitcoinget.com/?r=1KUUrsN8zbDi4LZdPEqCPpEtt4fZAy178h

2. http://www.speechpad.com



I have a question about the second site
What are their rates ? What is written on the website is what I will pay if I ordered not of I work .
And what is the payment methods ?

You need to sign up to see available work. Each job can have its own rate. Most are around $.25/minute. Some are more. I'd say average is around $15/ hour. It pays through Paypal weekly.

I was lurking around and saw this post interesting, after registering on speechpad I can't find an option to work as a transcriber.

You need to take a few tests so they can grade your work first. Once you get the proper qualifications, you will then see jobs listed. Also, you must maintain your quality level if it drops too low you will not see jobs listed. I just logged in and see one that pays $.60/minute for 44 mins ($26.99). That's pretty good.  In my opinion transcription is the way to go, if you're good with english and typing.

Why do they pay per minute and not per word?

Do they need you to do it so fast? Wouldn't it be better to allow the person to do it more slowly and check their work for accuracy?
5226  Economy / Services / Re: Can anyone offer my gf an online job for $3-$5 per day? on: September 09, 2015, 04:42:40 AM
Apologies I was away from the forum for a few days.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I will be replying to some of you with private messages.

I think this has become a good resource for others who are looking to earn online.

Different people have different skills, different preferences for short-term or long-term focus, and different interests. So the range of suggestions in this thread are not all appropriate to my gf but still useful for other readers.

I think transcribing audio and videos would be the most enjoyable and fit to my gf of all the suggestions. Also perhaps Clixsense if it is varied enough (solving CAPTCHAS is definitely a burnout type of task that she hates). She is attractive, accurate in vocalization (fabulous singer as well), and good at mimicking, so I think she could also render product videos.

Also the Usertesting and doing reviews seems really interesting. I am excited to have her try that and see how it goes. Great suggestions!

She would enjoy any work dealing with people as long as it is varied and not too technical. She is not into mental games such as cards and gambling.

She can do any task that is well defined and well explained, but I don't think she will be the creative type who will start inventing new things. (and you might not be pleased with her choices if you do, such as when she moved the plants to the stairs as decorations, lol)

She can do cam sex. I think that she will earn way more than 5$ per day  Wink

I know she could earn big time $ in cam sex given she is 34C-36D brown skinned filipina with a very attractive face, but that would be extremely destructive to type of life and relationship we are trying to do. This is a lady with traditional values and will be a great mother. I am not about to change her life to that direction and besides her father would kill both of us. It would be extremely disrespectful to the great job her parents did.

I can outearn her so the goal is not really just maximizing income, but rather is more about her not being bored and generating some smallish amount of income to buy some things herself. And for the moment one of the requirements is for the work to be in the home for reasons I stated in the OP.

Later of course we could do some other business, that I could invest in. This online work isn't going to be her preferred long-term vocation. She'd much rather do a small restaurant, farming, or anything real life oriented and not on the computer.
5227  Economy / Economics / Re: Martin Armstrong Discussion on: September 09, 2015, 03:34:36 AM
What I don't understand is that the real estate cycle lines up with the ecm of 2015.75 so there is a bear market until 2033 but the confidence goes bullish on 2020 again until 2033..

So on 2033 real estate is supposed to go bullish yet confidence goes bearish based on the ecm super cycle?

http://www.armstrongeconomics.com/models/7219-2

Does that mean that after 2015 real estate is abandoned until 2033 while confidence is still rising in other private assets?

Why would in 2033 when ecm collapses the real estate market rise?

The real estate cycle clearly shows it is crashing from 2015.75 to 2033. The bounce from 2012 to 2015 (precisely 2011.45 to 2015.75) was primarily in the high-end of real estate as international capital is looking to park in upscale locales for 2nd homes, vacation homes, etc.. But now even that upscale market is turning down, as evidenced recently by UK initiating a new tax on that real estate demographic.



It is incorrect to conceptualize the ECM as positive or negative, rather as a cycling between private and public. The context will determine if that shifting is positive or negative (i.e. increasing private confidence is positive in some respects and has different impacts depending on which stage in other cycles we are in such as the 309.6 year cycle, real estate cycle, etc). The ECM shifts direction every half of an 8.6 year (= Pi x 1000 days) business cycle, i.e. 4.3 years. The ECM is a cycle of shifting between public and private confidence, i.e. confidence in the government and in private assets respectively. Also every 6 cycles or 51.6 years, the theme of the overall cycle shifts been public and private confidence. Since 1981 when public confidence peaked (since the last time private confidence peaked in 1929), we've been gradually losing confidence in government and the confidence in private assets will peak in 2032, then we will begin a gradual transition to a new 51.6 public wave with gradually increasing confidence in government and declining confidence in private assets, yet for a long time from 2032 private assets will still be more trusted than government (just think about 1929 to 1944 before the golden 1950s age started and then you understand why boomers love government so much... think drive in ice cream and cars with gull wings). So don't look at 2020 as a turn up in the ECM, but rather it will be a period where the mad stampede into private assets from 2015 has abated somewhat as Asia will bottom in 2020 so some investment will start to trust Asian bonds and governments some then. But then in 2024, another stampede back into private assets again, which will probably be the West totally collapsing from the mad stampede into Asia. And then 2028 to 2032 will be Asia really rising up. You can see this counter effect from 1977 to 1981 where private asset of gold went bonkers.



Rather conceptualize the ECM turn dates as time when international capital shifts and these cause major inflection points in markets.



Quote from: Armstrong
As you can see, all the things that turn with the ECM over years is based upon capital concentration.

I don't know what is going on with me. My M.S. symptoms basically disappeared entirely after drinking some concoction that ended up being a mistake. Bless her heart, my gf faithfully measured out the 60 ml of "sugar" to make our first 1 liter batch of Kombucha tea last week. I let it sit to "ferment" for 2 days, then I tried it and it tasted slightly vinegary, slightly like tea and extremely salty. I was in such a mental fog, it didn't occur to me that she had measured salt instead of "sugar". I proceeded to drink it and got some effects which felt sort of like being mildly drunk. I also got pains in my disgestive tract. But then my M.S. symptoms disappeared. Instead I got severe edema in my feet and lower leg, which I realize probably isn't an M.S. effect but rather due to excessive consumption of salt. These extremely swollen feet were the first symptoms I had back in 2009/2010 which first indicated to me that I had a serious chronic illness.

We killed the SCOBY, so have to order a new one to make Kombucha tea. I am in limbo on that at the moment.

I don't know if that concoction had any remaining yeast and/or bacteria in it. Perhaps it was the vinegar and salt which did something magical to my digestive tract. I also don't know if this is permanent. Also I did a few other things right at that time too. One I am eating drastically more vegetables than I did pre-fasting. These are cooked with loads and loads of fresh garlic and onions. And I am adding a table spoon of cayenne pepper to every meal. I can feel my urethra burn when I pee. Also I broke down and am eating a very slight amount of meat, bread, and butter, which don't seem to help other than I gain back some weight. I also add almost exclusively chicken livers for 2 days of that, which are very high in zinc.

I had become more convinced lately that my M.S. was due to gut dysbiosys. I know that my shit all came from taking antiobiotics too many times, eating food that always has MSG and sugar, and having no access to hot sauce. This was my predicament in the Philippines the decade leading up to recently (not any more!).

I was about ready to do a self-administered fecal transplant, when I suddenly had this outcome above.

New Zealand – Bucking the Trend to Move Cashless?

You can remain a non-tax resident in New Zealand by not staying there more than 183 days out of every 12 months. If you do become a tax resident, you get 2 years of tax free on worldwide income (not only domestic income). And then you can become a non-tax resident again by being outside the country for 325 days in a year:

QUESTION:Your ECM says that there would be a peak in October. Could it be a peak in the confidence in the Dollar as a reserve currency?

ANSWER: No, that comes later. We first have to create the storm. The likelihood of a monetary reform comes into play around 2017. To get there, we have about $9 trillion in debt by other countries that must create a major loss first. With this sort of pressure, then and only then will we see some new type of system. There is nothing currently to replace the dollar. BIG MONEY cannot park anywhere but dollars.

I am designing my first version of the consensus network such that mining clients connect over the standard HTTP or HTTPS ports, so they will never be censored by port (only by sniffing the content of the protocol which can't be done if HTTPS unless it is backdoored by the NSA). And there are additional measures that can be done later to even improve on that.

That is one thing I hate about Bitmessage that it doesn't function on PLDT (it functions on Globe) because of the port blocking issue.

lack of PoW to create a closed system are really the key in linking biometric data to users  ...  Things like this are much harder to do with PoW & Bitcoin or Cryptonote.

Correct on the first point. Incorrect on the second one. It is trivial to capture Satoshi's design with regulation of 51% of the pools (weighted by hash rate of course). They can then refuse to include any block that doesn't include 666 KYC identification.

I don't really see PoW playing out like that.  It would just cause the private sector miners in that country to go bankrupt...

The commonwealth of nations (G20, etc) can regulate the mining hash power in their jurisdictions which will comprise more than 51% of available hash rate in the world. Sorry Zimbabwe won't help you. Please I don't have time for your wandering illogic. If you are going to me a serious post, please get organized first.

Do also realize the importance of electrical subsidies, location near to geothermal power, etc. in terms of profitability of mining.

Iceland appears to be in the back pocket of the banksters again. And the entire world's hashrate isn't going to suddenly relocate there.

The nations are gradually getting more organized in terms of global coordination. They will become very focused on that as the global collapse ensues and they want to hunt down all capital.

Someone sent me the comment that Islam is a greater threat than Western governments.

Whether that is true or not, my reply is Western governments disarmed the people, so then don't blame Islam when it overruns your people. The fundamental problem remains the Western governments.

Let the Islamists try to take Texas and they will all be served for dinner on a Texas barbecue!

What happened to Greece  Huh Afaik, you guys used to be warriors and athletic specimens. Turned into a socialist, pussy state. I don't know the history of Athens well. Did you ever have widespread individual use of weapons?

I was thinking about how much the world has changed after that exchange I had with the 5 year old boy yesterday. When I was 5 years old, I was outside all day playing tackle football and taking great pride in getting a bloody nose ever day. I actually looked forward to get to rumble every day at literally age 5. These days boys shoot in video games.

P.S. my suspicion is the banksters are funding and creating the fundamentalism in the Middle East on purpose, so again I think the banksters beast is the core of the problem.

I don't want to be involved in the politics of the world. I want to create some technologies which via Butterfly Effects can spawn into the new directions of the impending Knowledge Age.

I am in the Philippines and my 26 year old gf (no kids) is stuck at the house all day while I am working and she has nothing to do other than cook, watch TV, and go on facebook. She is a very conscientious one, and not the lazy type. She is always concerned when going outside that she dress properly and wear make up (not what I like as I am a laid back naturalist).

I'd prefer she not get a job outside earning $4 per day, because they will demand her 10 hours a day (not including 2 hours travel time), 7 days a week. I like the flexibility in our schedule now, but I am just so concerned about her boredom and wasting time when she could be productive and learning.

She is a good typist, is very good with vocabulary and language and especially English language. She is not good in math. She is probably not the one you want to do some convoluted task. But any task that requires good verbal and/or written communication skills she can do. She is also very attractive and presentable so she could do any sort of promotion such as dating or social networking site, or even customer service. She is trainable and I am here by her side to guide to insure good follow through (just as long as you don't demand too much of my scarce time). I am a computer programmer.

No lewd offers allowed. Nothing involving sexual innuendo even.

It would really do me a big favor if anyone could offer her an online job that she could be busy some hours of the day.

Normally she is awake during the normal daylight and even hours Philippines time. I suppose we could rotate our schedules if that is necessary.

You can PM me or post in this thread. Thanks.
