The first major economic turning point since March/April 09 will be January 4, 2010, according to the imprisoned cyclical economist Martin Armstrong.

His theory, similar to Terrence McKenna’s, is that time, a.k.a. the "fourth dimension," is cyclical, taking on the shape of a wave. A wave has peaks and troughs and those occur at regular intervals. This is why history seems to repeat itself and does so rhythmically. Thus a look at the past with an understanding of the shape of time allows one to accurately pinpoint future dates of trend reversals. Such trend reversals may include the waxing and waning of animal populations, market fluctuations, the rise and fall of empires, heartbeat patterns, and the arrival, survival and departure of ideas and innovations.

Armstrong backs McKenna by arguing for the holographic nature time. Trend reversal points plotted on the continuum are equidistant, relatively speaking, at both the macrocosmic and the microcosmic level. Time spans of 8.6 units, be they minutes, hours, weeks, months, years or centuries, cover the distance between peaks and between troughs.

Writes Martin: “The 8.6 year cycle I have written before contains 3,141 days that forms the cycle or circle so to speak equal to the number Pi x 1000. I also explained that I did not discover this from Pi, but later discovered Pi in trying to figure out its accuracy. I explained that the cycle was discovered from a study of the number of financial peaks between 1683 and 1907 that was a total time period of 224 years. There were 26 panics within that 224 year period that produced 8.615384615 (as the average number of years between each panic). It was later discovered that these individual waves built up into groups of 6 producing a major wave of 51.692 years that was very close to the observations of Kondratieff. I also tested this back in time forming a group of 6 waves again that produced the major wave of 309.6 years. At this level I began to notice the rise and fall of civilizations. At a conference of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, a guest speaker Sally Balbinus showed her discovery of a 300 year cycle in the energy output of the Sun. It was an average that shocked me for it matched very closely to the 309.6 year cycle in the rise and fall of civilizations.”

Similar to how waves move through water, time-defined trend-waves move through people. People are the medium through which trend-waves move.

In synch with McKenna’s “Timewave,” Armstrong’s predicted 9/11/01 and the beginning of what possibly will prove to be the collapse of the monetary system, triggered in 2008.

You’ll note the charts above mark the March/April end of the dollar rally. The chart was created a full year prior. The next noteworthy date is roughly a month away. Keep in mind that on the night of 12/31 and the morning of 01/01, the moon will be both in syzygy and perigee. During such times, if there is a storm at sea, abnormally big waves and abnormally high tides, sometimes exceptionally destructive, are to be expected.

Speaking of trend waves, after many haranguing moves, the tide has turned for white here as black prepares to coordinate fire on the centralized king.
