Pseudo-intellectual BS Artist Chris Martenson Teams Up With Huckster Robert Kiyosaki

Although I've added a few images of these scum bags here, you can find a larger number of annotated images of these and many other charlatans in the image library.

As some of you might recall, I began exposing Chris Martenson several years ago.

You might want to have a look at some of the previous material on Chris Martenson here, here, here, here and here.

When I first encountered his propaganda it was immediately obvious to me Martenson was trying to deceive people because he made up so many lies about himself.

He wanted to make you think he was an important guy; a guy who was wealthy. He claimed he retired after serving as THE Vice President of Pfizer, so why would this "important and wealthy guy" launch an online business?  

From the very beginning I could see that Martenson's story was filled with all sorts of holes that just didn't make sense. And then I realized what he was doing and what he was all about. 

It became apparent to me that Chris Martenson had joined the fear-mongering broken clock profiteering circuit. And he was determined to form a cult to exploit naive individuals who had been infested with all kinds of ridiculous propaganda from a variety of conspiracy con artists. 

After a while Martenson even began to claim he predicted the financial crisis. This was another bold-faced lie. 

Although I recognized early on that Martenson was a charlatan seeking to assemble a cult of naive do-gooders; liberal types who wanted to save the world and stop "climate change,"

I never would have guessed he'd stoop so low as to partner up with Agora Financial, the sleaziest copywriting boiler room in North America, but he did.

Once Martenson showed his true colors there was no longer any doubt in my mind that he was a pure shark. From then on, I knew there was no limit to where his con artistry would take him.

Note the bogus claims made by these charlatans.

Chris Martenson, you are a complete piece of shit con artist. 

 

Even before Martenson partnered up with Agora, he had already crossed over to the dark side when he began appearing on Max Keiser's fake news show.

It did not take me long to realize that this union of parasites was indeed a perfect match. Martenson would deliver the predictable rhetoric Max Keiser needed in order to keep his scam running. And the exposure provided Martenson with a large audience of sheep who would end up as some of his earliest cult members. 

In fact, this is precisely how many of the other nobodys and idiots got their start to form a business selling doomsday ads on their fake news conspiracy blogs and You Tube channels.  It's the ole tit for tat scam artist arrangement.  

Similar to the scum bag charlatan Glenn Beck, Max Keiser specifically featured guests who would promote the "US is doomed, the banks are evil, buy gold and silver" narrative in order to rake in millions of dollars in advertising revenues from companies looking to hook the naive conspiracy nuts that tuned in to watch Beck's show.

This is specifically why clowns like Peter Schiff, Gerald Celente and other doomsday, broken clock, conspiracy clowns made frequent appearances on his show.    

Thus, it should be of no surprise that Martenson has more recently partnered up with Glenn Beck. Apparently, Beck is desperate to try and save his radio show that has been in collapse for a while so he is willing to see if Martenson's BS can revive his show's embarrassing ratings.   

And just to be clear, when I state "partnering up with" I'm not merely referring to giving fake news interviews. I'm also referring to formal and informal business arrangements between both parties. 

As a result of Martenson being promoted by countless media frauds like Keiser, Beck and others (although his "resource depletion" nonsense had absolutely nothing to do with the financial crisis) he was able to attract some of the most naive and clueless individuals, especially when it came to finance and investments. These are the same types of people who listen to clowns like Peter Schiff and Mike Maloney. 

Incidentally I wasn't surprised when Martenson partnered up with high school dropout (flunky), former car audio salesman and bold-faced liar Mike Maloney.  

I'm absolutely confident Martenson knew exactly what he was getting himself into when he partnered with each of these deceitful individuals. 

As Martenson continues to grow his fear-mongering, peak oil, gold-pumping, climate-change cult, he has also been expanding his network of copywriting, fear-mongering, broken clock charlatans.

Case and point. I have recently discovered that Martenson has teamed up with whom I consider as one of the biggest con artists of all time, Robert Kiyosaki.

Now this alliance isn't much of a "shocker" considering that Martenson had previously formed a business partnership with the con man Mike Maloney, a so-called (Robert) Kiyosaki adviser. 

Recall this is the Mike Maloney who claims to have written a "best-selling" and "all-time best-selling" gold investment book. If you write a book and continue to address large audiences from the onset, claiming your book is a "best-seller" it will be eventually due to the sheep effect.

But that does not mean you have not engaged in fraud. Got it?

Furthermore, I am willing to bet that Maloney, the high school flunky and dyslexic former car audio salesman did not write anything with his name on it, much less a book.   

And let's not forget that Maloney likes to boast that he's a Kiyosaki "adviser," as if some type of association with Robert Kiyosaki is supposed to give him credibility.  Yea, sure, when it comes to conning people an affiliation with Robert Kiyosaki goes a long way. 

You know Kiyosaki advisers right?

They're the con artists who hold "free" cash flow seminars at hotels near the airport. These seminars are advertised extensively during late night in order to catch the right demographic (if you know what I mean). And once the sheep show up for the seminar, the professional scam artists who call themselves "Robert Kiyosaki advisers" try to get the sheep to pay for a "special platinum service" for $10,000. 

Perhaps you can understand why these "advisers" would want to be as close to the airport as possible. 

I also became very suspicious when Martenson featured Kiyosaki on his channel in 2014.

At that time it struck me as very odd was that Martenson would (first and foremost) interview someone who had no idea what was going on in the economy, and (second) be willing to associate himself with a well-known con man...unless he wanted to learn to be a more effective con man himself and realized that Kiyosaki is one of the best there is. 

I also noted early on that Kiyosaki was just about the only non-Jewish individual Martenson had interviewed on his You Tube channel.

That's right folks. Nearly every person Martenson has featured has been Jewish.

You know what that means. Chances are high that either he is Jewish or his wife is. I'd lay money on it. 

So how do I know Martenson has business arrangements with Kiyosaki?

Because Kiyosaki basically admitted it!

According to Kiyosaki, Martenson toured South America with him giving talks (surely to very naive and desperate people) much like they do in the US today. 

In case you aren't aware, many of the biggest charlatans in the US have been gradually branching out to other nations (especially developing nations in South America and South East Asia) because more people in the US have finally figured out that these guys are liars and hucksters.

Kiyosaki has already established a presence in Asia as well. Tony Robbins, ditto. 

It is indeed official. Now that he has been dealing with Kiyosaki, Chris Martenson has taken his shenanigans to a new level. As a matter of fact, I'm going to show you some evidence of this in the following videos. 

You might want to have a look at some of the previous material on Chris Martenson here, here, here, here and here.

Remember folks. Con artists like to form syndicates in order to magnify their reach so they can more effectively fleece as many suckers as possible.

If you want to identify the gold-pumping, fear-mongering syndicate it's actually really simple.

Examine the blog rolls, speaker lists of conferences, note who is interviewing whom, who is patting whom on the back, etc. 

If you open your eyes and observe things you're going to start noticing the same individuals keep appearing on the blog rolls, events, interviews, etc.

The trick is for the con artists to keep their victims brainwashed. And the easiest way to do that is to keep them mentally isolated so they will not question anything. This is easily accomplished by creating an extensive network of con artists who are all linked in many ways to all of the other con artists.

Once a cult member gets hooked into this network, it's virtually impossible for them to break away from it.

Scientology operates in a similar although more controlling and forceful manner. 

There's a good reason why the legal system goes by the phrase "guilt by association."

Remember, you are judged by the company you keep. 

Fast forward two years later from the video above and Martenson has already begun to create Robert Kiyosaki-like nonsense.

For instance, at the 6:00 minute mark in the video below he provides some meaningless explanation of wealth. What a con man!

Real investors want real results, not word games.

This is the type of bull crap you'd expect from Robert Kiyosaki.

It's a common tactic used by con artists to get the audience to think they have some kind of special insight so you'll fall for the garbage they eventually try to sell you. Hook, line and sinker! 

Now compare that nonsense with Kiyosaki's explanation of different forms of income (another nonsensical scheme to convince the suckers he has a clue about investments) in the video below.   

It's obvious (to me anyway) that Martenson has begun to mimic Robert Kiyosaki's style of bull shit.

Remember, this is a man (Martenson) who claimed to be some big pharmaceutical executive who opted to take early retirement.

Yea right.  Another lie. 

Guys who retire aren't creating online businesses, registering as investment advisers with their state in order to receive referral commissions, selling advertisements and books.

Furthermore, when you are deceiving people by making ridiculous claims, one could argue that you are hurting for money really bad. Alternatively, you're a complete scum bag lacking a moral compass. 

As a matter of fact, for several years Martenson claimed he was the former vice president of Pfizer. And of course he made up this lie in order to get people to take him seriously because he had no real substance to offer, just fluff.

I'm sure many people figured that he must be wealthy since he was part of the top management at a huge company, so he must be doing his crash course crap just to help people, right?  He even gave the impression that he had plenty of money to be able to retire, but apparently this was all an illusion.

So why did he leave the pharmaceutical industry?  

Did he leave because he finally realized how evil it is?  He's never made that statement. 

I have my own suspicions as to what happened and I don't think he decided to leave. I believe he lost his job and resorted to huckstering his nonsense because his career as a toxicologist was for some reason finished. That's just a guess based on empirical evidence. 

He supposedly left to warn the world that we are running out of resources...food, water, land, oil, etc. (laughs). This is the same BS the United Nations has been preaching for decades in order to gain more control over individuals.

So is Martenson a shill for the establishment? Quite possibly.

One thing I am certain of. He is a pure con artist. 

Incidentally, once he got word that I exposed the fact that he never even worked for Pfizer, Martenson stopped claiming he was the former vice president of Pfizer and began to tell people he was the vice president of some small company I had never heard of.   

But by that time he had already sufficiently penetrated the doom and gloom cult scene, so it didn't matter. Nonetheless, his false claims still qualify as misrepresentation and could result in severe penalties from state securities regulators if they knew about his pattern of lying.  

Martenson's self-identity has changed a few times over the past decade, Before claimed to be an economist. But when that didn't turn out too well (he made a fool of himself) he started calling himself a financial forecaster/expert.

And when his forecasts proved to be completely wrong over and over, he started calling himself a futurist.  Futurist? That's basically a title given to people (usually con artists) who wish for their delusional fantasies to be taken seriously. 

Perhaps the best thing about referring to yourself as a so-called futurist is that no one will ever really know that you have been wrong about everything if you claim to predict the future many years in advance. Is there really much difference between a futurist and a fortune teller? I think not! 

Martenson does have some expertise though. He's an expert in wealth destruction (similar to many others in his doom gold pumping network) based on his horrendous predictions and investment advice pertaining to gold, the stock market, etc.

Notice in the video above how the blabber mouth, liar Greg Hunter tells us how Nomi Prins is such a credible source and she's telling people to buy gold. This is how he gets the sheep to buy gold.  

This gives me an opportunity to expose Nomi Prins once again. I've previously concluded that Prins is a complete idiot. She has no clue what's happened in the economy and capital markets, what's going on currently, much less what to expect. She's a professional marketer (which means bull shit artist) and author. This is how she spends most of her time. And she constantly sides with the gold nuts in order to gain support for her books. 

When Prins tries to sound like she has a clue she tosses out buzz words and phrases to make the sheep think she's in the know. And because her audience usually consists of individuals who are mis- and uniformed about economics and the capital markets, she's able to fool them into thinking she's up to speed on the current economic and investment landscape (keep in mind her audience consists of many of the same people who are in the Peter Schiff/Ron Paul/Alex Jones/Jim Rickards/Doug Casey/Porter Stansberry cults).  

Air Head Nomi Prins Joins Fear-Mongering Profiteer Jim Rickards on the Doom & Gloom Gravy Train

After having listened to Prins many times I have concluded she's a complete idiot, perhaps even an airhead.

As a part of fair disclosure, I only needed to listen to her for a couple of minutes to form this conclusion. However, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything so I listened to several more of her ramblings for which she attempts to become a populist so that people will buy her books.

Prins has also teamed with Agora Financial, which is not surprising since we all know that con artists like to form syndicates. 

Similar to other charlatans who work with Agora Financial (such as Porter Stansberry, Harry Dent, Doug Casey, Jim Rickards, Ron Paul, David Stockman, Lawrence Kotlikoff and many others, most of which are Jewish), Prins jumped aboard the gold pumping band wagon ONLY TO SELL BOOKS.

Incidentally, Jim Rickards pulled the same stunt as I have previously detailed. 

Finally, I wanted to remind you that Greg Hunter only interviews fear-mongering gold-pumping clowns and cons. Hunter is a fake news liar and scam artist who is feeding the gold-pumping, fear-mongering disinformation network by serving as a portal for fake news.  

I can tell state with confidence that Hunter has not interviewed a single person with any real credibility. He only interviews crack pots and gold pumpers in order to fulfill his agenda of attracting ad dollars and donations from cult members who feel good if they hear positive reinforcement supportive of all of the gold fantasies spread by the army of con men.

Similar to Alex Jones, Max Keiser, Glenn Beck, Ron Paul and many other media charlatans, Hunter runs a cheerleading and fake news show designed to bring in money by pretending to cover the "news." 

Martenson does not deviate from the typical characteristics shared by con artists. He preaches fear (i.e. his constant doom nonsense) and greed (his site is called "Peak Prosperity" which should in itself tell you all you need to know about the man. his motives and who he intends to target) while delivering the message that his sheep can get rich by following him, while everyone else will be left behind when the "system collapses."  

Mike Maloney and the rest of the clowns in the gold-pumping circuit pull the same manipulative stunts, by their "greatest wealth transfer" nonsense, as well as the "global reset" BS and many other phrases spread throughout the conspiracy doom porn cult community. 

Take a look at another video on Martenson here

In the future I hope to find the time to break this shyster's nonsense down in this video, word by word in a new video I plan to publish. 

Until then, I urge you to review the massive report I released exposing Martenson a couple of years ago.  See here
