Latest from Martin Armstrong - The Goldman Sachs Conspiracy

For those that do not know Martin Armstrong, he is the former chairman of Princeton Economics whose work revolves around cyclical patterns in the financial world. He is well known in certain circles for picking major market events years--even decades--in advance. Among these are the 1987 stock market crash, the Japanese market crash of 1989, the Asian currency crisis in 1997, the dot com crash of 2000, and the recent crash in 2007. Many of these predictions were made, to the day, in the 1970s and 1980s. Amazing.

Armstrong was indicted on charges of defrauding Japanese investors in the yen carry trade in 1999, a charge which he denies. In fact, closer inspection of the case makes one wonder how the U.S. government could really put on such a trumped up case and hold Mr. Armstrong in contempt for 8 years--that's right, 8 years, before he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud in 2007 so that he wouldn't stay in jail forever. He is due to be released in 2012.

That doesn't begin to sum up the possible corruption in the case on behalf of the government, including possible collusion between the government, the military, and major banks like Goldman Sachs, but we'll let Mr. Armstrong tell his own story. It is quite intriguing and thought provoking. Occasionally he is allowed to publish copies of works he writes from prison that are compiled on an IBM typewriter and are scanned into pdf form after they are released. Here is his July 10 piece on Goldman Sachs. We will likely start compiling an archive of his papers chronologically for easy reference here on the blog.
