On January 2, of 2017, I posted a list of predictions for the years ahead. It seems like a good time (as the US market is getting close to a final top) to see how we’re doing. I’ve added updates in italics.
History Rhymes. That’s because virtually everything that happens on Earth runs in cycles—our climate, the markets, political systems, societies, wars, financial ups-and-downs, etc. Our ancestors have known this for centuries. Knowing how these cycles work can keep you safe during downturns and provide you great wealth during the upswings. For example, you’ll know when to rent and when to buy. We’re currently at the end of a major business cycle. This site has been developed to provide core information about how cycles work and how you can use them to your benefit.

Same Wheel, Different Hamsters — A Typical 172 Year Cycle.
Many would say we’re in uncertain times. We are in terms of individual events, but the overall picture is fairly clear, if you understand cycles. The human race has been through this cycle many, many times before. We’re like hamsters in a gigantic financial wheel. And we never seem to learn from our mistakes; we […] Read More
Climate Cycles Influence Events
The Big Book (above) is a tome of about 2,000 pages that Dr. Raymond Wheeler created over a ten year period in which he recorded all the major events from 600 BC until about 1940. Along with the events, he also recorded the temperature and level of precipitation. He’s come to very strong conclusions about […] Read More
The Myth that Events Influence the Market
All this talk about a “Trump rally” … absolutely ridiculous! Elliott waves predicted this rally over two years ago—even longer, in fact. So, what are the financial pundits talking about? They talk about every tweet from “The Donald” as fodder for a major market move. Knowing that the market is traded around the world, to think […] Read More
Interest Rates and the Great Depression
We’ve been here before. The current financial situation in the US is a repeat of the lead-up to the “Great Depression” of 2007-9. The only thing that’s different are the players. But because we don’t generally pay attention to history, few know that we keep doing the same things to ourselves over and over again, and […] Read More
The Federal Reserve and the Great Depression
In my post “Usury Comes to America,” I told the story of how the concept of a debt-based banking system became entrenched in western society with the establishment of the Bank of England in 1694. More importantly, this movement has gained momentum thanks to the supporting influence of the Rothschild family; it has shaped our deteriorating financial situation […] Read More
Usury Comes to America
In my post about the Battle of Waterloo, I tell the story of how the Rothschild family got into “the big leagues” financially, by funding both sides in the Battle of Waterloo, and gaining personally from the information they were privy to more than twenty-four hours before anyone else. Here I’ll explore how usury ended up in […] Read More
Financial Deception: The Battle of Waterloo
Usury is the reason for most of society’s financial problems, going back many centuries. In previous posts, I’ve exposed the results of usury going back to the Roman Empire. I then explored the creation of the Bank of England and contrasted it with the usury-free system developed under Napoleon Bonaparte at the turn of the 19th […] Read More
The Beginnings of Financial Slavery
The core of the problems affecting societies around the world today are a result of usury—the lending of money at compounding interest. This has been a recurring problem for centuries. If you study history (and cycles of history), you’ll find that the rise and fall of money-lending parallels the rise and fall of great civilizations. There […] Read More
Populist Presidents: Hoover and Trump
The Cycles that Begot Herbert Hoover and Donald Trump A month ago (October, 2017, we passed the 88th anniversary of the Crash of 1929. As we march towards the Crash of 2018, it’s interesting to look back at the similarities in politics and society. It’s downright eery! Cue Herbert Hoover: A man in the wrong place […] Read More
How Money is Created Out of Nothing!
Booms and Busts. Both are inevitable in our current fiat-money/debt-based financial system. There’s just no getting around it. It’s a system designed to pad the wallets of the banking community to the detriment of everyone else. “Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce. And when […] Read More
The Market Moves in Predictable Ways
Edward R. Dewey, who worked for US President Hoover in the 1930s was a pioneer in the discovery of natures cycles. They affect business, the markets, and so much more. In the Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover asked Edward Dewey, who at the time was the Chief Economic Analyst at the Department of Commerce, to […] Read More
Cycle Tops and Birth Rates
It’s amazing to me that there seems to be a consensus that economic growth is perpetual—that the economy will grow forever, no matter the external forces. There’s this belief that companies will just keep growing and expanding which will, of course, lead to the stock market going up forever. History tells us it’s not likely […] Read More
Three Hundred Years of Lies, Pt 4

Banking and The Wizard of Oz
In the year 1900, author Frank Baum wrote “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” which many believe is an analogy to our monetary system. It shouldn’t surprise you if you think about some of the elements: silver shoes and a yellow brick road (gold) leading to Oz (short for ounce, which is how gold is priced), […] Read More
Three Hundred Years of Lies, Pt 2
“History is a set of lies that people have agreed upon. Even when I am gone, I shall remain in people’s minds the star of their rights, my name will be the war cry of their efforts, the motto of their hopes.” Napoleon Bonaparte Find part one of “300 Years of Lies” here. Follow the […] Read More
Three Hundred Years of Lies, Pt 1
“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” Adolf Hitler, translated from Mein Kampf “Fake news” abounds these days—it’s the buzz-phrase of the day. This is no surprise given where we are in the current 516 year cycle (the very top). But it’s fascinating to me that people […] Read More
Interview on Market Cycles with Dale Pinkert
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-m2egbxY7g In this fairly wide-ranging interview, Dale Pinkert has me tie in the bigger picture of how long-term cycles impact and reinforce what we’re seeing in the US markets, the EURUSD currency pair and the US Dollar. I touch on the work on Dr. Raymond Wheeler, Ph.D. and the undisputed GISP2 data that supports his work […] Read More
