QUESTION: Thank you for your efforts to reduce the amplitude of war. It is really remarkable that a person’s talents, wisdom, or achievements are often undervalued or dismissed by those in his own country. You were called in by China to help them become capitalist. Gorbachev also came to you for guidance on the USSR’s fall. Margaret Thatcher came to you to justify keeping the pound out of the euro. And they came to you when designing the euro. Yet the United States government refuses to take your advice. It makes no sense that Congresswoman Luna, who was meeting with Russians professing to be anti-war, you say you do not advise. At least Trump sent you a thank you letter. Matthew 13:57 records the same treatment. Jesus said:
“And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.’”
Anyone in the media who professes to be independent and refuses to show you any respect reveals their own dishonesty. Other people who will plagiarize your work, lack the database, and refuse to credit you, also revealing their dishonesty.
This curious aspect here is that you are sought after internationally, but most try to ignore you in the United States. The movie on you the Forecaster I saw on a flight from Europe to Canada and it was on Canadian TV but banned in America. I do not understand this bias against our own people. They loved Marx, who was German, Keynes, who was British, and even Piketty, who is French. I guess it’s like French wine is supposed to be better than California.
Do you have any insight into why this takes place?

ANSWER: In the case of Jesus, the townspeople’s familiarity with him, as an ordinary human, blinded them to his divine identity and authority. They could not see past “Joseph’s son” to accept him as the Messiah. I think it is perhaps jealousy. Even a head of state like Trump is always criticized as a person, which ignores the fact that as president he represents the nation. It just appears that it is always personal. In some cases they hate me for the forecast – kill the messenger when you do not like the news. Others are jealousy. Despite the fact that I try to distinguish a forecast is made by the computer rather than my personal opinion, they will still attack me personally and say I am wrong ignoring the computer altogether.
It is just the dark side of humanity. Look at the European press. You cannot find a single positive article about Trump in the Economist. To them, unless you are handing money to illegal migrants and never utter a single complaint, then you are fair target. They will never explain that Greenland is part of North America – not Europe. They will not discuss how Denmark was sterilisering girls to stop the births of Inuit people in Greenland from the 1960s to as recently as 1991.
Greenland is not an asset of Denmark or Europe. It is not strategic in the least to their national security. What this dispute is REALLY about is that the surrender of Greenland is reall the last vestige of Imperialism for Europe as a whole.
Greenland is part of the North American Plate – not Europe. When I was in programming back in the late ’60s at RCA, they manned Tuli Greenland site which monitored the top of the globe with NORAD as a defense against missiles launched by Russia over the top of the globe. It was always a strategic based that even protected Europe. This is all about arrogance and pride and the surrender of Greenland means the last of the Imperialism of Europe.
