Jim I like your above explanation for why killing Suleimani is actually de-escalation in terms of war.
I don’t really know anything about what’s going on over there obviously, but moving in and out of an airport like that appears fairly reckless. Even more so given the penchant of the US for killing by air strike. I’m assuming he went through that airport regularly if we were able to kill him.

It is not de-escalation. Iran escalated, attempting a rerun of the embassy disasters of Carter and Obama, and Trump responded. But his response did not consist of putting more American soldiers on the blood stained sands of the Middle East. It is not the response that the uniparty wanted.

Ultimately it may [put more American soldiers on the blood stained sands of the Middle East]. So you can’t necessarily make the conclusion that the uniparty isn’t benefiting.

Jim censors my reply because he demands to dominate with his favored narrative (because Twitter said so!) and be a mouthpiece for the destabilization of patriarchy in the Middle East. Hypocrite.

It got so bad in Rome that only 30,000 of the original 1.3 million inhabitants hadn’t fled. Mostly it was just cows who had occupied the former great city.

Why anyone would want to stick around when the writing is on the wall. It’s time to just turn off the lights, because when the corruption is this deep there’s no such thing as draining it. The priests who control 90% of the minds of the population, including apparently most of those who write on this blog, are in control because we won’t just turn off the switch. We continue to give legitimacy to their BS by even wasting one iota of time discussing whatever BS lies of the day they are promulgating.

Edward Snowden was the point of no return. Martin Armstrong’s 224 year collapsing model for the U.S. (which he created more than a decade before) peaked precisely on the date that Snowden made [h]is irreversible move towards the expose.

There is no switch to be turned off.

There is no mind control, there are status hierarchies embedded in meme systems, and the forced propagation of these meme systems, and the forced destruction of alternative meme systems and organisational models.

The priests do not lose power if the radically few leave.

Snowden was just a fucking dude who pulled down the pants on his boss.

You are insane.

Much preferable [to be accused of being insane] than being a witless fool who will fall in the woodchipper with the rest of the witless fools:

Here we have a person[mind controlled bot] who thinks there’s nothing too deep going on. Just a few corrupt people in the USG. Lol. Simpleton (or lazy/smug individual) doesn’t (research to) conceptualize of deterministic chaos, more significant trends in human civilization, etc.. For him, reality is presumably just as simple as Trump retakes the throne and arrests the problematic individuals in the government.

I blogged in Phoenix rises in 2020; all altcoins (including Bitcoin Core) will be 50+% attacked/destroyed:

The past performance of Armstrong’s ECM is astounding. Even successfully predicted (decades in advance) the September 11, 2001 “terrorist” attacks:

Charts already contain evidence of this coming future

Remember I recently pointed out that charts reveal hidden order in deterministic chaos, because for example there are people who know what is going to happen and they are already positioning for it. For example, shorting of airline companies stocks before September 11, 2001 was presaging the 9/11 attack.

Because of friction there’s local order in chaos and friction gives rise to oscillation:

The interesting demonstration here is that (1) this is not my personal opinion, and (2) it illustrates that there is a hidden order within what appears to be chaos. Here is the output of our Chaos Modeling for the Dow Jones. This clearly illustrates that there are trading plateaus which exist where the market will trade and then breakout to a new plateau. This is taking the daily data of the Dow Jones Industrials from 1918 up until 1991.

The key here is this plot represents absolute PROOF that there is order behind the appearance of chaos. How can we even predict a turning point unless there is hidden order behind the false image of chaos.

Here is a photo of starlings flying. Not only do they comply with the cyclical movement patterns, but the group is neatly formed that even complies with the science of chaos. Look at this illustration of the Chaos formation of weather data. There are boundaries that confine all movement at the extremes. Chaos was discovered by weather. What on the surface appeared to be random, actually contained hidden order.

Edward Norton Lorenz (1917–2008) was an American mathematician and meteorologist, and a pioneer of chaos theory. He discovered the strange attractor notion and coined the term butterfly effect. His strange attractor illustrated that within what appeared to be random chaos, there was actually incredible hidden order. His discovery has illustrated that predicting the future is highly complicated because (1) we are dealing with a massive amount of variables not a single cause and effect, and (2) this complexity constitutes a nonlinear system that produces the unpredictability yet within defined outer parameters.

Within any data series if we are talking about weather or markets, to the uninitiated observer who does not see patterns in charts like the the movement of starlings, they only see trajectories that appear to jump around making hair-pin turns and reversing direction only to swing back and re-reverse without warning. This is the majority who buy or sell because the group in doing so and feel comfort in collective reinforcement.

Nevertheless, their chaotic random appearance of weather or markets with respect to the behavior is like Lorenz’s strange attractor always orbiting within the shape of the system in a orderly manner confined by the outer-boundaries. The strange attractor is the actual map of all the possible states within the system yet conform to the fascinating shape defined by those outer-boundary limitations on all movement.

The entire economy is still a non-linear system that on the surface is massively unpredictable from moment to moment, yet is strangely bound within predetermined confines. This is why I state that you CANNOT predict gold or any market in isolation. Everything is connected and there is a form to this madness.

Behavior began to appear and this seems to be an emergence that springs from large distributed systems of data. This phenomenon we also experience in our human existence. We may taste some food, then we just have to have it as often as possible for a brief while. We eat too much of it and then suddenly our taste for it declines. The same will happen with a new song we listen to over and over again and then cannot stand to hear it one more time. This is a behavior that emerges and the same appears in computers. It does not make it “alive” but this is actually cyclical development. In any large-scale distributed system of data, there will emerge a cyclical pattern of what data is being referred to most often.

Go to a casino and just watch a roulette table. In theory, every number has an equal chance of winning. But in reality, the numbers will be cyclical. Some numbers will never come up while others repeat. It does not matter what system you look at, it will always revert to a cyclical pattern. This is the secret of nature. Observe the roulette wheel closely. The reason the house changes dealers rotating them is because this changes the cycle on that table. The cycle is not YOUR luck that will emerge from a string of times you might gamble, The house cycle differs with each dealer and that is the key to running the casino. This is why the casino rotates dealers because they fall into cycles and like counting cards, with a keen eye and an understanding of complex cyclical systems, you can see the the patterns emerge. (for your information, if I go to a casino and play roulette, within 15 minutes they come and say they recognize me as a”player” and want my name; casino understand cycles).

What emerges from any system is the unforeseen behavior arising out of sufficiently large groups of raw data. The real father of Chaos Theory was Edward Norton Lorenz (1917-2008) who was an American mathematician and meteorologist. Lorenz was certainly THE pioneer in Chaos Theory. A professor at MIT, Lorenz was the first to recognize what is now called chaotic behavior in the mathematical modeling of weather systems.

During the 1950’s, Lorenz observed that there was a cyclical non-linear nature to weather yet the field relied upon linear statistical models in meteorology to do weather forecasting. It was like trying to measure the circumference of a circle with a straight edge ruler. His work on the topic culminated in the publication of his 1963 paper Deterministic Non-periodic Flow in the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, and with it, the foundation of chaos theory. During the early 1960’s, Lorenz had access to early computers. He was running what he thought would be random numbers and began to observe there was a duality of a hidden repetitive nature. He graphed the numbers that were derived from his study of convection rolls in the atmosphere. What emerged has been perhaps one of the most important discoveries in modern time.

Armstrong wrote:

This extraordinary complexity of that created the surface impression of chaos, hides amazing order hidden below. This Chaotic Behavior can be observed in many natural systems, from such things as weather to economics. Our problem has been mankind’s attempt to reduce everything he sees to simple minded one-dimensional cause and effect. This type of explanation of such behavior has restrained our ability to move forward in many fields, the least of which is not social-science that includes economics.

Deterministic Chaos may be the key to everything for within both nature and our social world, we are surrounded with complexity yet we try to rationalize everything to a single dimension unable to cope with the dynamics of the world in which we live.

We can’t employ math to predict where every leaf will fall onto your lawn. But large distributed systems of chaos (including markets or the Bitcoin phenomenon) have a statistical form of topological order which is distinct from random.
