it just changes thinking i believe and depends how fast/slow people respond to new information. So depending on how they are feeling this month it could happen fast or slower than predicted but in general should start to see something in the next few months.

Does anyone have a screenshot of The Forecaster movie where the famous slide was shown in 1998?

M. Armstrong says that there's no difference between the US government a) printing money out of thin air and b) borrowing money that it has no intent to pay back. If the US government is so scared of deflation and a strong dollar, why not just straight print money to pay back debt, fund social security, fund healthcare, etc. instead of borrowing? That would scare people out of the dollar, wouldn't it? Isn't that what the government wants?

I reviewed the movie again, I found no video that demonstrates this particular model back then. It has a graphic representation of this on 17'10" on black and white but just that. The same slide is all over the movie but newer. I may have to look closer, but I think what you're looking for isn't there. It has a clip from 1994 (not 1998) of him talking about it, but not the slide itself.

Thanks for reviewing that. If what he says is true, then there should be evidence that he really did write that back in 1998. Does the 1994 clip have him mentioning the 2007 housing bubble or anything like that? |

... There are a few posts by Armstrong today re 2015.75. Indeed, a lot has been happening in the past few days (political turmoil in Poland, Russia starts bombing for real in Syria, etc.). http://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrong_economics_blogThere seems to be little doubt that Putin's star is on the rise, and Obama's is in free-fall. I am now hearing on the radio how Putin has masterfully played Obama for the fool. Previously I had only seen that kind of commentary at the alt-finance sites (eg Zero Hedge, etc.). * * * Today, the government of Venezuela apparently has been restricting visits to BTC-related sites (BitStamp, localbitcoins, etc.). If Venezuelans are able to beat their .gov on this, that would be a sign that government is losing confidence. |

ORO: Excellent pointing, I'd say "spot on". This is what I had in mind too; how on earth could we end the government slavery if not with bitcoin technology? I believe this is it. Today I've got an email from coinbase. They allow buying bitcoin with credit/debit cards on the fly! https://www.coinbase.com/If this is what Armstrong expected, I'd say it was wise that he didn't mention bitcoin in his predictions. |

Maybe have a look at his video from 1999 (didn't watch it so don't know if he talks about that): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zej5sM6y6CsWatching this video is making me even more skeptical. |

Yeah, I am watching the video and he definitely doesn't look like someone who knew a lot about the future at that time. Sorry fanboys, it seems like Armstrong is lying too you about his track record. |

It's all been an elaborate hoax, the jig is up..
Armstrong, Merkel, Obama & Putin will peel off their masks to reveal themselves as ancient reptilians, fly back to pluto and leave us with free energy, world peace and bitcoin.

Agreed. His demeanor doesn't seem right either - something about him screams "fraud". |

He's a fraud? Then I advise you to do the opposite of what he says, then you can come back here and laugh at us later.

In the Forecaster movie, at the part when Armstrong's associates open the old laptop which is from the 90's - and according to them the OS and content was not modified since the 90's -, I believe that list/slide what you are looking for was there. I understand that is not an exclusive evidence, however I have no reason to believe that people who appear in that movie mislead to public in order to create publicity for Armstrong. Anyway, Armstrong in my opinion proves every single day what a remarkable economist and intellect he is, so I am not sure your scepticism is based on what when he has projected 1987, 1989, the Russian crisis, the 2000 bubble, etc. |

I didn't call him a fraud - only stated that he appears to be one on the surface from his demeanor. I don't actually know if he's a fraud or not. I'm trying to find evidence! |

He could have defrauded us when I asked if he could include bitcoin with his precious metals report, but he declined due to not having enough historical data, a fraud would jump at the opportunity to sell hundreds more $500.00 reports by slapping together some nonsense.
I just don't see how he is a fraud, everything on his blog is there for anyone to see and interpret how they wish, Socrates will be launched shortly, and the subscription is roughly the same as your favourite porn site.
How has he defrauded anyone? I haven't seen any websites set up by unhappy customers, his clients have been returning for 30 odd years.

Did he tell you that? I had speculated up thread that would be the reason he isn't doing any predictions on Bitcoin. |

Armstrong has stated numerous times the producers of the movie had to obtain fact liability insurance, meaning the attorneys verified that every claim in the movie is factural and will stand up to any test of the facts in a court of law. Any more FUD? |
