"Take care of Russia," Boris Yeltsin said as he departed his presidency in August 1999. These words were directed at current Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Yeltsin specifically picked Putin as his predecessor to prevent the takeover of Russia.

So, who was Yeltsin warning against? Newly declassified documents from the Clinton Administration prove that there was a plot to rig the Russian election of 2000. These never-before-seen documents confirm numerous attempts to implement pro-Western policies using the Russian oligarchy headed by Boris Berezovsky.

On the other side were the communists who desired a return to the glory days of the Soviet Union. As one of the largest international hedge fund managers, author Martin Armstrong found himself in the middle of perhaps the greatest espionage, or attempt at a regime change for Russia, in modern history.

The Plot to Seize Russia pulls back the curtain to expose the most extraordinary attempt to seize power in modern history, but with the pen rather than armies. These declassified documents reveal a plot that has altered our thinking about the relations between the United States and Russia. The thirst for power comes seething through every line of these papers that alter our perception of reality, change the course of history, and now threaten us with World War III.

Armstrong, Martin

Martin A. Armstrong is the number-one forecaster in foreign exchange, often called "The Legend" for his accurate predictions. He has been summoned for nearly every currency crisis since the 1974 fall of Franklin National Bank, including the end of the Bretton Woods System. He advised the Reagan administration on the formation of the Plaza Accord of 1985 and the Brady Commission on the stock market crash of 1987. For fifty years, Mr. Armstrong has had a front-row seat to the chaos of financial markets. He also founded AE Global Solutions, Inc. and Armstrong Economics.

His most impressive accomplishment is creating the only fully functional Artificial Intelligence (AI) computer that monitors the entire world. His computer correctly forecasted the fall of communism in 1989 and the Russian bond defaults of 1998 that the London Financial Times announced on their front page two months in advance. The New Yorker published an article on his work, calling his discoveries "The Secret Cycle." He named his life's work in AI-Socrates-after the man persecuted for knowing too much.

Mr. Armstrong's programming skills and real-life trading experience enabled him to create a computer that institutions have relied upon in times of crisis. Originating from his passion for researching monetary history and a determination to harness the power of computers and artificial intelligence, he built an innovative collection of proprietary models which help identify market patterns in an unbiased, data-driven approach void of human prejudices. He provides a public service blog at ArmstrongEconomics.com that is completely free to ensure that his findings are available around the world. The models developed by Martin Armstrong since the 1970s have produced one of the most astonishingly consistent track records over decades. The key has been to distance forecasts as much as possible from opinion, which is far too fallible. His secret to success is observing history-time, patterns, and price-to forecast the future accurately.
