more armstrong........the plot thickens, page-45

I have run the Pi model over Lehman brothers and I am about 90% sure that Nixon's unexpected and shocking removal of the USD from the brenton woods accord on 15/8/1971 was the point from where Lehmans went into decline. I can't be 100% certain because details of Lehmans origins are a bit sketchy. The Pi model puts the orgin of of Lehmans back to 22/1/1855 (assuming brenton woods was the turn point) but Lehmans are stated as having been founded in 1850. HOWEVER, this was actually a grocery store in Montgomery Alabama. They started accepting cotton as payment for goods. Everything I can find states that this led to them, at some later point, starting a second and much more profitable business in the cotton trade. It was this second business that was the foundation of the Lehman Brothers that went broke on the 15/9/2008 One of the 3 brothers, Henry, died some time in 1855 and it seems to be implied that this second cotton trade business was started some time after the grovery business in 1850 but before Henry's death in 1855.

I don't wanna sound like I think it's all a big conspiracy but still....I have to make this observation. Think of all the big financial instos that have gotten into trouble. They have mostly either been bought for a song by another bigger bank or bailed out by the US gov't......but it was notably Lehman's who were hung out to dry. And why ?? Maybe because Pi said so.

Remember this is a model for political decline....I am well aware of the great bull that followed. But maybe in a way that was all smoke and mirrors. Maybe Nixon was responsible for laying the foundations of the country's economy in quicksand when he removed the gold standard..... we're all just paying for it now.
