MARTIN ARMSTRONG, once a US based trillion dollar financial adviser, used the number pi to predict economic turning points with precision. When some big New York bankers asked him to join the club to help them to take over Russia, he refused to join the manipulation. A few days later the FBI stormed his offices accusing him of a 3 billion dollar Ponzi Scheme - an attempt to stop him talking about the real Ponzi Scheme of debts that the US has build up over the years and which he thinks starts to collapse after October 1, 2015, a mayor pi turning point he is predicting.

An incoherent mess. This so called "documentary" does not present any coherent, logical reasons to believe Mr. Armstrong is anything but the runner of a Ponzi scheme. However, this is not how the story is presented to the viewer, instead all kinds of conspiracies (and incoherent predictions) are suggested. Almost all of the people being interviewed appear to be somehow involved in the scheme. Any Ponzi huckster needs to be able to BS his way to the top, and to cover his BS with even greater BS. If Mr. Armstrong made valid predictions, they should review a set of verifiably published predictions, not allow the people to pick and describe what predictions they made and how uncannily accurate they were.In every Ponzi scheme, a lot of people did not believe it actually was a Ponzi scheme even after it was revealed to be such. There are a great number of Ponzi schemes involving algorithms purportedly predicting the market. Using the value of pi to predict markets is a ridiculous concept. In every Ponzi scheme, one essential question is that if somebody can predict the market, why would that person share this information with anybody? If the predictions become common knowledge, the market adjusts to these predictions, and there are no gains to be had.

Should be required reading for all politicians. The model he uses is based upon mankind's history with currency. When it's over- layed with the world's money and commodities markets some very interesting cycles and predictions are revealed. Common sense tells us to heed the warnings. Will be interesting to see his source code revealed and understood some day soon. It helped me grasp how much power the banks can and do have. Not to mention the bullying and miscarriage of justice heaped on, from what I gathered, what is essentially an innocent man. Btw, I did ask my bank to lend me $1,000.00 per month for the rest of my life and they refused me.

It was the advertising of this documentary via alternative media which actually first introduced me to the economic teachings of Martin Armstrong. What I subsequently learnt blew my mind. It meant I had to disengage with linear thought processes and instead understand the importance of cycles, complexity and know that human nature has not changed for thousands of years as history tells us we always repeat the same mistakes. The predictive computer model Armstrong created is so valuable, those in power will go to corrupt lengths to obtain it for their own ends, and you can bet that means it will benefit just a handful of people and ruin a much greater number. We owe Marty for not cracking under the pressure of living a decade behind bars. The portrayal of his story and that of family and friends, one whose reputation remains in tatters, is captured in a moving and thoughtful way. Main protagonists on the 'other' side were asked to contribute for balance but declined to comment - praps their silence says a thousand words. Sure, this film is a vehicle to expose and elaborate his side of the story, but the underlying message conveyed is that time is of the essence. Political unwillingness to address growing sovereign indebtedness exacerbating economic stagnation will deepen this crisis - all brewing for a turning point in his famous model for this October 2015. In the concluding minutes, focus is given to an Armstrong prediction, which does indeed come true. We cannot afford not to listen to this guy.

The documentary was very well shot and the director and editor did an excellent job of keeping it insightful and provocative with a fantastic musical score. I was quite impressed with the flow of the film and surprised at the tempo as it covers a vast array of information on Martin Armstrong and his life and struggles. Kudos to the film makers. I was one of the lucky ones that caught a sneak preview in California.Truly a remarkable film about a genius that is becoming a legend around the business world on the level of a "Tesla - John Adams". I have followed Martin Armstrong's career for a long time and used his advice to understand the global markets in a completely different unique manner that hopefully politicians and governments will follow to improve society rather than trying to avoid the same mistakes. I've had the pleasure of also using his advice in my global trading business and also in my personal life and feel blessed that he continues to thrive and share his wisdom especially after so many unfortunate challenges. Keep up the great work. Carpe Diem!!I highly recommend this film especially all the interviews that make it a very personal film, and it is hard to believe that it is not playing all over the USA.
