Climate Change Cult Leader Chris Martenson is Creating Coronavirus Fake News

Note: this article and the accompanying video at the end were rushed because of major time constraints.

Some readers may need to read a few previous articles I've written about Chris Martenson in order to put everything into context. However, for those who are not familiar with Mr. Martenson, I'll provide a brief rundown before proceeding to discuss the focus of this article.  

I've discussed Chris Martenson several times over the years because I believe he's engaging in less than honest business practices for the purpose of selling snake oil. In short, Martenson is someone the public should be warned about because he's selling fear and disinformation while marketing himself as a credible source of insight. Let me be clear. Chris Martenson is by no means credible.   

If Martenson kept to himself and only posted his nonsense on his huckster-themed "Peak Prosperity" website, his deception wouldn't be much of an issue because his reach would be limited. But considering that Martenson has been aired in the media many times and continues to deliver his nonsense throughout the so-called "alternative media," it's important that someone expose this man because he is hurting many people in ways they might not imagine. 

For some reason Martenson has made it into the financial media on a number of occasions despite having no experience working in the capital markets. Martenson never worked on Wall Street, he never managed money and he is not an investment analyst.  

As a member of the gold pumping syndicate you can imagine some of the nonsense that comes out of Martenson's mouth.

Perhaps you need to be reminded of the some of the ridiculous claims being made by gold charlatans. If so, simply perform a search on this website using the key word "gold" and you'll see that I've published hundreds of articles, audios and videos exposing the gold pumping syndicate as well as their methods of deceit.

I've also debunked every single myth, false claim and delusion the gold pumping disinfo syndicate has preached.

My take down of the gold pumping syndicate has been so overwhelming that I've even been commended by the top analyst at a precious metals firm.

A few years ago after I released a detailed article which revealed the reality behind John Williams and his hyperinflation claims. Williams is the go-to economist of precious metals bugs and Austrian economics loons, Kitco's senior precious metals analyst, John Nader emailed me to express his agreement with my work. 

The following article is what Mr. Nader is refering to: Dismantling John Williams' Hyperinflation Predictions

In short, if you want to learn the real truth about precious metals as well as the con artists who are running all kinds of scams and spreading fake news about gold, silver, the economy and the stock market, this website is the number one resource. If you can find a better resource for understanding the reality behind gold, silver and the gold pumping syndicate let me know. Upon investigation, if I agree with your entry I will give you $5000 in cash (this offer will run for two years from the date of publication of this article). 

Below you can see some of the sites that link to Martenson's Robert Kiyosaki-like themed website, Peak Prosperity. If you want a fairly comprehensive list of the gold pumping disinformation fake news syndicate, simply check Martenson's YouTube channel. You will see the same charlatans appear on every major gold pumper channel.   

Below you can see some of the sites that link to Martenson's Robert Kiyosaki-like themed website, Peak Prosperity. If you want a fairly comprehensive list of the gold pumping disinformation fake news syndicate, simply check Martenson's YouTube channel. You will see the same charlatans appear on every major gold pumper channel. All of the gold pumpers link up to form a web of deceit making sure their cult members never stray from the endless wave of ridiculous propaganda and disinformation spread by these scum bags. Their means of control resemble those used  by cult leaders that practice Scientology.   

Gold bugs might be more than concerned to know that Martenson may very well be a plant from the very entities these folks despise. I'll get back to that topic shortly.

For many years now Chris Martenson has been trying to find his calling in life. Apparently, things didn't work out as he had hoped working as a bureaucrat in the prescription drug industry. But according to Martenson, he left his career in the dust once he realized that the world was on pace to destroy itself (paraphrased). 

I suppose he never felt bad about working for the prescription drug industry. Good guys don't spend decades working in the prescription drug industry and then suddenly quit their job because they have become a caring person.

My bet is that Martenson was downsized (i.e. laid off) when his small firm was bought out by Pfizer. And with nowhere else to turn, he started his Club of Rome-inspired climate change, save the planet pitch as a way to carve out a living. This led to his Crash Course presentation at the United Nations and his association with the Rockefeller-funded Post Carbon Institute. 

Martenson arrived on the media circuit after the financial crisis had passed. He didn't predict it and knew very little about it, yet he began receiving media interviews thereafter as if he was some tenured financial professional. Starting in 2011 or nearly three years after the financial crisis, Martenson began being interviewed on several fake news broadcasts like Max Keiser, RT and various fake news channels on YouTube, along with mainstream financial networks claiming to be an economist and investment analyst.

It was through his early association with con artist Max Keiser that Martenson became patched into the gold pumping syndicate. This is where he recruited many of his cult members. 

From there, Martenson's name and website were linked on all of the gold pumping sites. He was interviewed by a host of gold pumping con artists and frauds. In the meantime, Martenson was still trying to come off as a credible investment analyst, economist and forecaster. But his calls turned out to be a complete disaster. 

Apparently, Martenson thought he could mimic the same nonsense Peter Schiff was pushing and he would be right. Unfortunately for Martenson, Schiff has been completely wrong for decades. Martenson's predictions of a dollar collapse, hyperinflation, soaring commodities pricing (just when commodities pricing had peaked and before the collapse occured) as well as his dire warnings of stock market collapse came AFTER the financial crisis occured, causing anyone who listened to him to miss out on the longest bull market in U.S. history.

Martenson even pumped gold at the peak price causing those who listened to him to be stuck when the bubble burst. 

Indeed, Martenson has been as good of a contrarian indicator as Peter Schiff and the rest of the broken clock gold pumpers.

Martenson even joined forces with the biggest copywriting boiler room in the world, Agora Financial. This boiler room as been responsible for deceiving and scamming countless individuals with fake news, lies, exaggerated claims, baseless conspiracies and other means of deceit. 

Some of the idiots, broken clocks and cons working with Agora include Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Jim Rickards, Jim Rogers, David Stockman, Porter Stansberry, Doug Casey, Nomi Prins, Tim Sykes, Harry Dent, and many more.

Note that each of these individuals has been completely wrong with just about every prediction they have made for many years. If you don't agree with this claim check through our website.  

When you're feeding off of the same dogma day after day, you're no longer able to think critically. You've been inducted into a cult.  This partly explains why so many people today are in cults and they don't even realize it. 

Martenson's Blog Roll (very old)

After years of atrocious predictions, Martenson finally realized he was too clueless to even try to pretend to know the first thing about the capital markets, so he began to focus more on "preparedness porn" which became the bread and butter of his income stream. Instead of an economist, today Martenson calls himself a futurist which is always a red flag that points to a con man. 

The great thing about pitching the whole prepper nonsense is that your cult following won't demand to know when you claim the "big collapse" is coming, so you can keep selling stuff linked to your daily fear mongering activities. By default, the entire prepper industry is based on a broken clock charade so it's an ideal business for con artists.

Why else do you think Alex Jones linked his broadcasts to the prepper narrative?

You can build a business conning naive people by telling them how to prepare for the worst and offering them an endless list of products and resources to help them prepare for "the collapse." Meanwhile, these victims waste their money, time and lives preparing for a collapse that never comes. 

Similar to Robert Kiyosaki's fictional book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad that's filled with all kinds of terrible advice, Martenson lives off of the ridiculous premise he claims to have created from his Crash Course. It's basically a series of video presentations he gave discussing his views on how the world is running out of basically everything.  

But did Martenson even create the premise in his Crash Course?

The fear mongering theme preached by Martenson in his Crash Course videos is certainly nothing new. Once you dig a little deeper you'll realize that Martenson's Malthusian nonsense is actually linked to John D. Rockefeller’s globalist organization the Club of Rome.

The Club of Rome has been associated with the depopulation agenda, the "New World Order" and the Bilderberg group.  All of that might strike a chord with the conspiracy crowd. Quite ironic, wouldn't you say?

I find it sad that many of Martenson's cult members "seek to defeat" the "New World Order" but don't even realize Martenson is patched into the Club of Rome which is part of this order.

I believe the proper term here is controlled opposition. 

As I've shown in previous publications, Chris Martenson is not at all who he presents himself to be. He's a smooth talking bull shit artist, so he's managed to fool quite a few individuals. Martenson is just another actor on stage seeking to extract as much money as he can by spreading fear and nonsense. 

According to Martenson's Crash Course narrative, the population and economy are growing at an exponential rate which threatens to deplete our natural resources. Thus Martenson claims the world is running out of everything, from water, food and land to oil and gold. 

Think about that for a minute. Of all of the brilliant scientists and engineers in the world, only Chris Martenson has identified this unstopable path toward global self-destruction.  

But never fear, as Dr. Martenson (as he likes to call himself) is here to rescue you.

All you need to do is pay an annual fee and you can access premium content on his website. This is the content that will give that needed insight essential for surviving the "collapse."

Once you become a paid member you will have entered the climate change cult. The cult will scold you if haven't bought Chris' completely useless books or spread the word endlessly about Chris and his mission to save the world.

And if you get tired of having missed out on the massive gains in the stock market because you were scared of a market collapse by "Dr. Martenson" and his syndicate of gold pumpers who are preparing for the day when the US dollar collapses to zero, and the US economy enters hyperinflation, Chris will gladly direct you to an investment firm where you can park your cash. Oh and by the way, "Dr. Martenson" will receive a percentage of your cash in fees each year. I think you see what Dr. Martenson is all about.  

Chris Martenson is in the fear porn business similar to just about every other gold pumper. And he uses his Crash Course presentation as the foundation to support his business model.

Martenson appears to have obtained the main ideas from his Crash Course presentation from the Club of Rome's book, Limits to Growth published in 1972. In fact, one could argue that Martenson plagiarized the book unless he cited the appropriate references.

Can you trust a man who doesn't even provide proper citations and claims ideas as his own?

Can you trust a man who lies about his previous work titles? 

Without surprise, Martenson also supports the man-made climate change propaganda which is another agenda embraced by the Club of Rome. 

Ironically, Martenson's belief in climate change contradicts his recommendations to buy gold.

You see, every time Martenson tells his cult members to buy gold, it creates a huge waste of energy from fossil fuels which actually adds to man-made climate change (if you believe this hoax). Yet, Martenson is a big pitch man for gold and claims this is one of the primary ways to protect yourself "when the collapse happens." 

That makes "Dr. Martenson" a huge hypocrite at best.

Why would he contradict himself so blatantly?

Because pitching gold not only gets him promoted among thousands of conspiracy loons, he also gets paid to pitch gold.

Martenson is running a business based on BS.

He's not out to save anyone. He's out to line his pockets. And he's using fear and BS to do so. 

This reminds me of Martenson's affiliation with another Rockefeller-funded entity called the Post-Carbon Institute. 

Take a look at the individuals designated as "fellows" of the Post Carbon Institute.

Looking at the images of these folks reminds me of a Woodstock reunion.

Check the website to see the complete list of clowns.

Positioning these clowns as figure heads for this organization has been intentional as they have been positioned as peers of Main Street. So their climate change message connects with the masses.  I doubt you'll find many academics in this group who have conducted research on energy or related areas.  

It seems odd that an organization known as the Post Carbon Institute fails to have at least one or two world-renowned energy researchers. After checking their bios, it would appear that even I have a stronger background in energy-related research than the majority of the fellows of the Post Carbon Institute.This supports my initial suspicion that the organization is an empty shell lacking real substance or relevance. 

Over the years Martenson has become a major BS artist. Perhaps he has improved his BSing abilities by hanging out with Peter Schiff, Mike Maloney and Robert Kiyosaki.

Now he's preaching baseless nonsense regarding the coronavirus outbreak in order to recruit new cult members from which he will surely extract money based on selling fear porn. 

Moreover, he's telling the world that he's a "doctor" in order to generate credibility without emphasizing that he has a PhD. and not an M.D.

Furthermore, Martenson is not a virologist. And as far as I can tell, he hasn't worked in a lab in decades. This man is inciting fear in order to generate income. Chris Martenson is a complete fraud.
