I began my mission helping investors steer clear of Wall Street because I learned firsthand how the game was played after having worked in the industry.

Thereafter, I learned how the media helps Wall Street after I was black balled by all media in 2006 and thereafter for trying to warn main street about what would become an unprecedented financial crisis in 2008.

My mission has been to help investors become more knowledgeable and successful by providing cutting-edge investment research as well as top-notch educational content.

I think I've done quite well in that regard.

As a part of this mission, I have also spent a great deal of time and effort exposing the criminal activities of the financial media, as it works with Wall Street to deceive and defraud main street.

Unfortunately, most people have forgotten how critical it is to know the credibility and reliability of the sources they choose to follow.

Instead of checking credentials and track records, they go by the number of likes, fake comments, fake reviews, and hearsay from people they have no idea about.

Those who are unfamiliar with me can find out more about my credentials, my background, as well as my investment research track record here, here, and here.

Unless you're familiar with Chris Martenson's fear-mongering "Crash Course" nonsense, or a member of his Robert Kiyosaki-styled "Peak Prosperity" greed-infested, fear-mongering, tree-hugging, parasitic platform, you probably don't know who Adam Taggart is.

Taggart is the guy behind the scenes responsible for marketing Martenson's fear-mongering narrative to naive people.

Prior to teaming up with Martenson, Taggart worked for Yahoo's marketing boiler room.

I'm quite confident Taggart lost his job at Yahoo. After all, why else would he quit to join a no-name, no-substance clown like Martenson?

Perhaps in desperation once his unemployment benefits ran out, Taggart teamed up with Chris Martenson and created what I view as a boiler room operation designed to extract money from naive, low-IQ and often emotionally problematic individuals who have been scared with broken clock, fear-mongering narratives.

After all, once you lose your job at a boiler room like Yahoo, you're not going to be too employable elsewhere.

So why not locate another place to utilize all the boiler room tactics you learned at Yahoo?

I have exposed the reality about Chris Martenson many times in the past.

More on Martenson:

As I have previously discussed, Martenson and Taggart have duped their cult members in a variety of ways, from use of questionable disclosure tactics, and numerous misrepresentations, to ridiculous claims and even lies.

Some of these lies have been echoed by clowns on Alex Jones' disinformation platform and other disreputable conspiracy sites.

See here, here, here, here, here, here and here for a review of my analyses of Martenson, his lies, his fear-mongering pitches, and disinformation tactics designed to con people to believe his nonsense and join his cult.

Martenson has been claiming the (economic) collapse is "coming" now for several years, along with other nonsense. He started fear-mongering right around 2010, just as the stock market and economy were beginning to recover.

He continued with this garbage up through the COVID pandemic. That's when he switched his focus towards luring in COVID conspiracy nuts.

Now if you ask Martenson, he will claim that he was "warning" about the 2008 financial crisis years in advance as part of his "Crash Course" nonsense. This is a completely ridiculous claim. Chris Martenson did not predict the financial crisis. And he is committing fraud by making this claim.

Over the years, Martenson has established himself as a paid pitch man for gold and silver, while preaching fear, doom and disinformation. This is a common theme used by fear-mongering con artists in the financial publishing industry.

Thus, it should come as no surprise that Martenson and Taggart have partnered with the biggest copyrighting boiler room in the USA, Agora Financial (for more on Agora, run a search on our site to access articles and videos exposing Agora and its endless cons and scammy tactics).

Anyone associated with Agora should be highly scrutinized in the most optimistic of scenarios. as a matter of fact, I recommend you assume everyone associated with Agora to be a charlatan until proven otherwise. And if you can prove otherwise, please let us know. We don't anticipate receiving any valid responses on this matter.

Together, Martenson and Taggart have preached fear-mongering nonsense in order to lure their own following (cult) of gullible "do-gooders" into what I call fee-based mind control.

Of course their following (cult members) have no idea they're being led by these manipulative parasites.

Perhaps an even bigger problem is that these two clowns have no clue what's going on even though they pretend they do. An examination of their ridiculous claims and failed predictions will confirm this.

In reality, Martenson and Taggart are morally bankrupt modern day snake oil salesmen profiting from an Alex Jones-like business model of deception, fear-mongering, hyperbole, and baseless conspiracies.

The only difference is that, when compared to Jones, their demeanor is calm and mild mannered (which is the approach used by most modern-day con artists).

The bottom line is that like Alex Jones, Martenson and Taggart intentionally promote nonsense in order to sell goods and services as solutions to their nonsense. In my book that's fraud.

The worst thing about it is that their "solutions" to "escape the collapse" have cost the suckers who listened to them huge amounts of money in missed opportunities.

Martenson tries to brand himself as a "scientist" who understands the "most dire" challenges faced by the world. But the reality is that he's a clueless and deceitful money-worshipping, pseudointellectual and fear-mongering huckster who has partnered with some of the biggest charlatans in the world, from Robert Kiyosaki to the countless clowns working at copywriting boiler room Agora Financial.

"Always remember this. If you want to identify the entire gang of con artists, all you need to do is identify one of them and then check to see who they hang out with." - Mike Stathis

Before I continue my focus on Mr. Taggart, I'm going to give you some additional information about Martenson's "Crash Course" pitch that I have not previously mentioned.

Martenson's "the sky is falling" fear-mongering narrative is an offshoot of Paul Elrich's discredited 1968 book, the "Population Bomb," which itself is an offshoot of the Malthusian horse crap that began some two hundred years ago.

I'll get into more detail on this topic in the future.

But it gets worse.

Martenson is pitching the same theme the liberal establishment has been promoting for decades. Guys like Bill Gates have teamed up with the United Nations to warn us about alleged "resource limitations" as a means by which to validate implementation of additional control mechanisms on human activity. You know, "Big Brother" type propaganda.

Incidentally, many individuals have concluded that Bill Gates' primary objective behind all of his propaganda is to depopulate the world.

You should note that Martenson likes to boast that he delivered a summarized "Crash Course" presentation to the United Nations.

How do you think he was able to get their attention?

First, Martenson is preaching the same lines the United Nations has been preaching for decades, so Martenson has earned good graces from the UN.

Second, Martenson knew that in order to get some kind of acknowledgement that his "resource depletion" pitch is legit by the establishment (which is important because that means he will get more exposure which will enable him to make more money, which is his real objective) he would need to make connections. He did that by asking some low-level organization that promotes climate change (it was called global warming at the time Martenson contacted them) to add him as a member.

The organization I am speaking of is called the Post-Carbon Institute.

And it's funded primarily by Rockefeller's Club of Rome and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Many conspiracy theorists have linked these groups to a depopulation agenda.

And they just might be correct.

Get a load of the clowns 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 figureheads for this moronic organization has been intentional, as these individuals are viewed as peers of Main Street. Thus, their Climate Change message connects with the masses.

I doubt you're going to find many academics in this group who have even performed research on energy or related areas.

And it seems more than odd that the fellows the Post Carbon Institute fail to have at least one or two world-renowned energy researchers.

Obviously, Martenson learned some word games from his copywriting buddies at Agora Financial when he teamed up with them to release one of their Porter Stansberry-like videos (below).

Another example pointing to Martenson's role as a shill for establishment propaganda is that the Club of Rome released a book in 1972 titled "Limits of Growth." This book bears a striking resemblance to Martenson's "Crash Course" pitch.

The "Limits of Growth" begins with a detailed discussion of exponential growth and uses this as a foundation to argue that resource depletion will be a major problem that threatens human existence.

If the exponential growth and resource depletion narrative sounds familiar that's because it's identical to the premise discussed by the global warming (renamed as "man-made climate change) alarmists which began to surface right around the same time.

Most recently, the same crew has positioned the coronavirus pandemic as the next threat to humanity. And as I first predicted in a March 2020 webinar, Gates is now using the coronavirus pandemic as a way to forward the man-made climate change hoax.

Martenson jumped aboard the coronavirus scare early on as a way to attract more members into his cult. See YouTube Creators Cash In on Coronavirus Fears

He later flip-flopped on his stance regarding the virus, vaccines, and other treatments many times since then after receiving back lash from many of these newly inducted cult members.

And Martenson did not want to risk losing a large and new audience of suckers to sell his snake oil to, so he bowed down to them.

The bottom line is that Chris Martenson has built a cult based on false claims, deceit, lies, disinformation, and fear-mongering.

His propaganda is truly a load of bull shit.

I'm wondering whether any of Martenson's cult members realize that he's basically repeating the same nonsense created by charlatans long ago, or whether this same propaganda can be seen in a book written by the establishment body, the Club of Rome in 1972.

Remember, if you want to identify the entire gang of con artists, all you need to do is identify one of them and then check to see who they hang out with.

So you might be wondering how I even remembered Adam Taggart.

After all, Taggart is usually working behind the scenes, while Martenson plays the role of the good-natured, very important and wealthy humanitarian who expects you to pay him money for advice on how to survive the "coming collapse."

As I have mentioned in the past, I keep files on every one of these fear-mongering clowns for the purpose of exposing the reality whenever I get the chance to do so.

What happened was that I actually ran across a piece by Taggart (who is Jewish by the way) by accident after doing some additional checking into Harry Dent's perpetual fear-mongering horse shit.

You see, I stumbled onto a web link description claiming Harry Dent predicted the 2008 market collapse. Anyone familiar with Dent knows this simply isn't true.

Not only did Harry Dent fail to predict the 2008 market collapse, actually claimed the 2008 Financial Crisis was the result of demographics!

Dent also advised to stay out of the stock market for well over a decades after it bottomed in 2009, claiming the Dow Jones was headed to 3,000.

Anyway I clicked the link and ended up at the website of some (Jewish) airhead.

Apparently, Dent (also Jewish) told the female interviewer that he predicted the 2008 collapse. And when she introduced Dent on her podcast, she made all sorts of false and misleading claims about his track record; claims Dent no doubt included in a script that came with the media package he sent to her.

Like everyone these days, the lady clearly did not bother to adequately check into Dent's claims. Alternatively, she could be too ignorant to realize his claims are untrue.

But we must ask, at what point is this characterized as fraud?

This is one of the most common ways con artists get away with spreading lies. They get the jug heads who interview them to make false claims about their track record so that the buck is passed.

In other words, both the media jug head and the con artist who told the jug head to make these false claims think they are immune to legal actions.

In reality, this is not true. Both are actually liable. This represents fraud.

Anyway, as I was looking at the Robert Kiyosaki-type pitch on her website, I noticed she seemed to be in the business of interviewing con artists.

For instance, I could not identify a single person of any credibility she had previously interviewed. They all appeared to be complete con artists.
