Foundation for the Study of Cycles History: 1999

I hope you've enjoyed parts one and two of our three-part historical series in celebration of our 70th Anniversary.

We begin this last part of our series in the year 1999, as an event in this year was a significant lead-in the decades to follow.

In Sept. 1999, Martin "Marty" Armstrong, the former director of the Foundation at that time, was arrested under "suspicion of securities fraud."

However, this wasn't a simple cut and dry case. In fact, many doubts still remain as to the motivation behind these events.

In 1999, as the story was relayed to me... the CIA called Marty and asked him how he was able to predict the top of the market with such accuracy. I suspect either they felt he was conducting some kind of insider trading or that they knew he had a system for accurately predicting markets and wanted it for themselves. They asked him to come down to their office and show it to them. Or, as Marty's daughter would later put it, "to obtain the source code for his 30 years of research."

Essentially, they asked him to reveal his "secret formula" behind his market predictions. And, if you know anything about the CIA, you know you don't mess with those boys. So, when Marty supposedly told these guys to go "f-themselves" and slammed the phone down on them, that obviously wasn't going to end well for him or the Foundation.

Soon, the CIA subpoenaed Marty and all the current board members. Marty refused to give the judge the evidence he demanded and so was slapped with a contempt of court order.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but my understanding is that under Constitutional law -- if that still applies in the United States -- a contempt charge can only get one a maximum of 18 months in jail. But this judge, unilaterally decided to keep Marty in jail for 7 years… on contempt charges, if you can believe that. This, without any conviction or guilty plea. So, this sentence alone should give some idea as to how out of the ordinary this case was.

Marty's story was covered more in in Part 2 of our Foundation history. We hope you won't think less of the Foundation if you were previously unaware of this part of the Foundation's history. But, as it's an essential part of our history, it needed to be mentioned in this historical overview.

To many higher-ups in government, along with those banking institutions that wield an unhealthy influence over them, accurately predicting the stock market by us "lay people" isn't taken lightly. Thus, I am personally not at all surprised with the government's reaction to Marty's accurately predicting the market, nor his refusing to disclose his cycles trading system which they no doubt would not have minded getting their hands on, and which he developed with the help of the Foundation's research.

Prior to the time Marty was arrested, all the FSC materials, including our entire library, had already been moved from Wayne, PA where Richard Mogey's office was, to Marty's office in Princeton, NJ. Upon his arrest, they were put under lock and key by the Fed.

After the Feds finished going through the materials, Ned Dewey Jr. persuaded the judge to give the Foundation one day to retrieve them. Access was granted, and Richard Mogey and two others went down to Princeton and removed all the files they felt were important. Those records were then transferred to the MTA (Market Technicians Association) as part of a custodial agreement. Dick Fox arranged the transfer, I am told, and the MTA took care of the materials for the next few years.

The MTA, set up in the 70s by Shelley Lebeck, was working to make technical analysis into an acceptable discipline. Contemporary thinking at that time thought that markets were purely random but the MTA insisted the market was predictable to a point using technical analysis.

Around this time, there was a battle of sorts within the Foundation where about half the Foundation board sided with Ned Dewey Jr. (the "white hats", as he recounted to me) and the "black hats" who sided with Armstrong. The case was dismissed with no resolution. Later, after Marty's incarceration, the remaining board voted in favor of dissolving the Foundation.

However, for some reason and very fortunately, the proper forms were never filed with the state. In 2000, the State of Connecticut changed the law about non-profits, and the Foundation simply went into "inactive" status. Yet, prior to this change of law, even without filing such a form, FSC would have been officially dissolved automatically by the state after a certain period of time. The new law expressed the opinion that non-profits were akin to living beings... and that it would be like euthanasia for the state to dissolve them. So, the FSC and its charter were spared and simply went into inactive status until it could later be revived.

So, years later when I inquired with the state regarding the status of the Foundation and was told by one of their agents that if I wanted to bring the Foundation back, I could, and that I simply needed to follow a few specific legal steps.

I did so, and the Foundation was once again deemed active and in good standing by the State of Connecticut, and following my subsequent phone call to the IRS, our non-profit tax status was also restored!

In yet another favorable turn of events, FSCs precious research and other files were spared when the MTA moved their offices into one of the WTC buildings that collapsed -- but they didn't have enough space to store the files in the towers, and so they had a space in Woodbridge, NJ and kept the files there.

There were, however, additional backup computer tapes with Foundation materials on it that were stored in the WTC that Shelley Lebeck ended up saving from the WTC before it collapsed.

He was in the WTC at the time it was attacked, grabbed several of the MTA data tapes, and got out before the building was demolished.

An article from that time shows the MTA, like the Foundation, went through their own "Phoenix" event, and subsequently their own rebirth from the ashes of the WTC:

Upon the reinstatement of the Foundation's legal status, the MTA was asked to return FSC's materials. They delivered the files, but not our library of books. Supposedly these were donated to the New York Public Library. These books are extremely valuable and are the property of FSC, and should never have been given away. The Foundation may, at some point, seek to reobtain those as our rightful property.

The files, which were with MTA in New Jersey were retrieved by myself and two others and we brought them down to Albuquerque, NM where they are now safely archived. These materials are a national treasure and are under the protection of FSC once again.

While going through these files, I discovered a cache of microfilm records created by Dewey in 1970. I purchased a reader and discovered that these were the real library. This was the digitization of the Foundation's library that Dewey did himself!

Articles, papers, documents, letters to and from members of the Foundation, and much more were in that collection. It was like the Foundation's Library of Alexandria. The information in that microfilm collection is priceless. And that's what is now on the massive 18 gigabyte Blu-ray data disc we've just begun making available to our members.

After I brought back the Foundation from inactivate status on May 2, 2005, I set out a number of goals for the Foundation's rebirth and named this "Project Firebird." Those Phase 1 goals were to be achieved between 2003 and 2011.

Some of those goals included digitizing a large part of our files. The completion of this task is credited to the hard work of Jennifer Moran, our Executive Director, who completed that project, including indexing this information to make it searchable. Soon, it will be re-scanned and re-indexed to make the searching of this massive database faster. Even with the fastest indexing that Adobe software provides, it still takes a long time to search through 18 GB of data.

This digitization of the Foundation's records included Cycles magazine, Cycles Projections from 1993, our first 50 years of history, Cycle Synchronies, Cycles class library (4 volume set digitized) and the 800-page collected writings of Dewey.

Upon completing these phases, we're now prepared to move into phase 4, which is our own building and the establishment of our investment fund -- right on schedule!

When the Foundation was revived, some former members -- apparently out of jealousy -- were upset that I had done what they had not been able to do -- actually reviving the Foundation. They assumed it was dead--killed off by the state of CT years ago. Fortunately, it was merely dormant. And so, there are apparently some "sour grapes" to this day. Their comments are all over the Web, and I do not have the time or inclination to respond to these distractions. It would appear those gentlemen were not meant to be the ones who would care for the Foundation's best interests.

After assuming the Foundation was dissolved, those former members founded their own cycles organization. They attempted to pass it off as the legitimate heir to the Foundation, and I believe may still be attempting to do so. However, there could be no heir, of course, as the Foundation is still, and always has been, alive and well as the Foundation for the Study of Cycles. It never went anywhere, even in the eyes of the state. It merely took a brief sabbatical.

This is all part of the Foundation's own cycle. And perhaps the Foundation will take another short rest in 70 years or so, just prior to another rebirth. Perhaps some of our younger members will be around to see that day.

With the Foundation retaining its initial charter, all copyrights prior to this "reactivation" period are still owned by the Foundation.

I personally feel that all this, just like cycles, has been preordained... because everything has fallen into place perfectly with miraculous timings, events and synchronicities. Being a student of cycles, I do believe in coincidences, but not in the commonly accepted meaning of the word. The definition of the word coincidence is simply: "the condition or fact of coinciding." Again, nothing mysterious. Just harmonious cycles in action guiding our destiny.

Along these lines I liken our "free will" within these cycles to "a dog chained to a tree." We each have all the free will we wish to exercise... within the length of our "chain." But that's as far as it goes. Some of us seem to have a longer chain than others. The cycles themselves determine our degree of freedom.

Richard mogey came back into the Foundation as our Chief Voluntary Officer and donated Techsignal Software to the Foundation, as he stated to members during several of our live meetings. So, the Foundation has held the copyright to Techsignal since it was first introduced.

Techsignal Standard coding was completed, but it didn't have a name. Mr. Mogey wanted to call it SPR (Systematic Periodic Reconnaissance), which is what Dewey named his system; but Dewey was also a PhD genius in terms of cycles analysis, and yet had little in the way of marketing experience. "Systematic Periodic Reconnaissance" might be a great name for a NASA or DoD software, but it wasn't going to make it easy for us to sell it to members, so we needed a simpler name. Years earlier I had secured the domain name Techsignal.com and when coding was completed, I suggested the name to Mr. Mogey, and we agreed that's what it would be called.

Richard then conceived of Techsignal Professional. Subsequent versions were conceived by both myself and Richard together, up until Elite, which I conceived of myself.

Legendary hedge fund manager, Paul Tudor Jones, provided funding to conduct further research into finding profitable trade signals. That was when we learned we should not trade off composites and only trade single cycles. It was also during this period that we learned about and incorporated additional tools into Techsignal that had been "necessary and sufficient" to validate the cycles using technical indicators and to raise the percentage of trade winners from 60% to 70%-80% or greater. Techsignal Intraday was birthed shortly thereafter.

Later, Richard actually had a dream about a new system that would become Techsignal Enterprise. Enterprise would automate the buy/sell signals into a comprehensive trading platform. The new computing power at that time would make this possible.

It took us through 2006 to complete the coding for Techsignal Enterprise and get it running. Techsignal Enterprise took "forever" to program, as is often the case with programmers, it takes much longer to program and test than is initially estimated.

After Enterprise, I conceived of a new software. I asked Mr. Mogey if we could refine Enterprise further and we added Quant (quantitative analysis) and that became Elite. Lastly, Techsignal Ultimate, which scanned entire portfolios (again, thanks to increased computing power) was developed, and this finished off the Techsignal software line.

While on sabbatical in 2009 -- which I do every few years to regroup and refine (and sometimes completely redefine) the vision I have for my life, as well as for the Foundation -- I was going through e-mails and received an e-mail from Larry Edelson of Weiss Research. I called him in Thailand at 2 a.m. my time, and he explained who he was and we had a nice conversation. I was familiar with Weiss Research as I had actually used some of their material in the 70s when I was doing my own market research in terms of planetary influences. I told Larry I was needing to do some fundraising for the Foundation and said we needed around $750,000. He told me they could get us millions.

Later, I showed the Foundation's research to Monte Agarwal, the editor of Weiss Research's Million-Dollar Rapid Growth Portfolio and he said, "That's the Holy Grail!" I couldn't have agreed more. And so after another presentation to members of Weiss Research, an alliance was born between us and Weiss named The Foundation Alliance.

Upon launching this Alliance, I was told that Weiss Research had brought in more subscribers than they had ever seen -- with what I was told were over $9 MM in sales. They paid a small percentage of that -- $350,000 -- to the Foundation.

Weiss wanted someone to represent the Foundation's part in the Alliance, so we allowed Richard Mogey to be the Foundation's ambassador and spokesperson for the Alliance.

While Mogey become the "face" of the Foundation for this Alliance, he was never the representative of the Foundation as a whole. However, Weiss Research did a great job presenting him to the public as, to this day, many of our own members believe he was the actual head of the Foundation, which hasn't been the case since he was president many years ago prior to it being made inactive.

Edward R. Dewey knew this work was far from completed, but that he laid a great foundation for this to happen. Dewey's son is quoted in Samuel Shreiner's book Cycles (1990) that his father "...visualized himself as the man before Copernicus; that is, after he had finished all the work he could do, the next man would come along in twenty or so years and tie up all the knots." October 14, 2010 the biggest knot got tied when I clearly saw the relationship between planetary output and what Techsignal was seeing in terms of cycles. This was done with the help of our new Apple computer and its i7 processor. We proved that the planetary signals were, in fact, the undeniable cause of cycles. These signals were the "Something out there" that Dewey had long suspected during his time at the Foundation but could never prove. In fact, it would have been impossible to have done so without today's computing power. Had Dewey had such a computer, he likely would have figured it out... as was his innate brilliance.

Zarathustra was named after the founder of Zoroastrianism, who was regarded as a "holy man" and "saint" by many of his devotees. He is considered to be the "Father of Astrology" who gave the world an understanding of how the celestial realms affect us intimately here on earth. It is claimed that his mystery school trained the Magi in astrology. These were the "three kings of Orient" that brought Jesus the gold, frankincense and myrrh and followed the "star" to his birth location.

Our Zarathustra project, which we often call "Z" for short, is very much like a living being. While I may be its "parent", it still has a life of its own. In this way, Z is still an infant that needs to be cared for properly. Someday, however, Z will undoubtedly grow to be a powerful oracle that will support, protect and nourish the world in countless ways.

Initially, Z is being used to provide trading analyses. This is because over 80% of our members want this, and because there is more financial market data to work with than any other kind of data. Still, the Zarathustra methodology will eventually be used to predict perhaps millions of cycles as the Foundation's research progresses, as computing power increases, and as we begin providing Zarathustra to academic institutions to conduct their own research. All of this will make Zarathustra the harbinger of a powerful new branch of interdisciplinary science that Dewey envisioned will ultimately benefit billions of future souls.

Part of our vision for the Foundation's future is so bold and so exciting that it might be considered "unbelievable" to some.

This is similar to how Foundation members were, for years, forbidden from ever mentioning "possible planetary causes of cycles" to its members, as there was too much public skepticism about such influences. It fell within the realm of "pseudo-science" even though science, such as that conducted by RCA, confirms the planets effects here on earth. The Foundation's rule to not speak of planetary influences was prior to Zarathustra providing proof of celestial and planetary causes of terrestrial cycles that defied chance. Z changes everything.

To help protect some the Foundation's larger vision, some of our "bolder" goals will be kept quiet until the time is right to reveal them. This is to avoid any negativity from the "doubters," "naysayers," and habitual "dream killers."

With all this being said, part of what I envision is a massive computer center (like a "war room" only for peace), where thousands of cycles are monitored in real-time. These cycles will determine the location and intensity of various geological and weather events, potential asteroid impacts, potential terrorism occurrences, airplane crashes, crime and the occurence probability of other events. With this knowledge, we should be able to predict and prevent unnecessary losses of life. In fact, with our knowledge of cycles prior to Zarathustra, I was able to predict, to the day, the cyclic values of Iraq war casualties. This knowledge could help steer our troops out of "danger zones" -- times and locations of intensified risk.

If all this brings to mind the movie "Minority Report" with Tom Cruise, well, you wouldn't be far off. Perhaps someday we'll have the accuracy to predict daily life events for individuals with a high degree of accuracy. However, my own feeling on this is we need to be careful with such a science, as there will always be room for error and it would also be ripe for abuse. Thus, as with any new science or technology, the ethical implications should always be deeply considered at the beginning of developing such a science. Your input, as members, will help us shape guidelines and protections so this predictive technology is not misused or abused.

It is with both great hope and the right amount of caution that I move forward with our Z members in furthering this technology. But I have a personal faith that in the grand scheme of things, everything gets taken into account by cycles and everything balances out in the end. Still, there are always ethical considerations to keep in mind with any new science.

When the atom was first split, there were obviously huge ethical implications with such an advancement.

Were such ethical considerations well-thought-out in advance? I don't know. Maybe. But, overall, mankind has somehow learned to live with this awesome power without destroying themselves thus far, and nuclear energy has been a boon overall.

When it comes to accurately predicting cycles, such knowledge can be used for good or for ill, as well.

The Rothchild family hired Fourier to run the math on the markets to see if Fourier could uncover any cycles they could use for investing. Sure enough, he discovered the 40-month market cycle. The Rothchilds then used that knowledge to amass a fortune, keeping their secret to themselves for 100 years as they built their banking dynasty. This, of course, was all "written" within the cycles themselves for them to become as powerful as they became.

With the knowledge that Zarathustra can provide, one can amass a fortune far greater than the Rothchild's could have dreamed of, as it is infinitely more potent to work with the actual cause of all cycles than simply discovering a single cycle. But I do not believe this knowledge should be used for selfish purposes, but rather, it should contribute to the greater good.

Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill's mentor, did not think money should be used selfishly. Carnegie was not only the world's wealthiest person, he was also the world's greatest philanthropist. To me, that is the correct use of Zarathustra when it comes to predicting market cycles.

I don't wish to lecture anyone, but I do encourage our members to learn from the truly wealthy, such as A. Carnegie and W. Stone, who insisted that to become truly wealthy, one must be truly generous in all ways.

In the wrong hands, is it possible that students of human behavior could literally use a technology like Zarathustra to enslave the masses? I think it's possible. They would be able to predict society's patterns and use that against them. This is currently being done on a wide scale with algorithms running incredible amounts of personal data naively posted to Facebook and other places, and is being used to cultivate certain buying behaviors among other behaviors. With such knowledge, one can effectively engineer the social fabric on the planet -- again, for good or for ill.

On the flip-side of any potential negative uses for this predictive technology, those currently in power who may not have humanity's best interests in mind could possibly be put out to pasture with such technology. Again, it's all in how it is used.

In addition to our "peace room" that will predict and provide alerts on world events, I also envision using Zarathustra for predicting biological cycles. Our bodies operate using many different major and minor cycles including cellular respiration cycles, cardiac cycles, reproductive cycles, the Krebs cycle, hormonal cycles, the ATP cycle and many others. With Zarathustra, we'll be able to discern new ones and track them with great accuracy, as well as predict when our cycles may be changing for the worse and, thus, give us time to intervene. For instance, with our current knowledge, we can take just 2 hours of heart rate data and predict the heart rhythm for that person over the following 36 hours. With this knowledge we can design a device that would alert doctors to any potential "danger" periods for cardiac patients at home or in an intensive care unit so they can more closely monitor them and intervene with care as needed.

This is just one of the many possible applications I foresee for Zarathustra and cycles discoveries in general.

Again, to use the analogy -- Zarathustra is like an infant, and the future of this child needs to be guarded, as well as cultivated and guided. When fully matured, I expect Zarathustra will help bring a higher degree of harmony and balance to both our personal and world affairs. This is because a big chunk of the problems we face as human beings is due to our completely ignorant belief that we are cut off from one another and from nature -- including from planetary influences -- when, in fact, we are all intimately connected via the cycles that surround and influence us, as the moon controls the tides.

Many of our world problems stem from our unconsciously living and working against cycles because we have been ignorant to their existence. And yet, as you know, ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. It's the same with cycles. If you go against them, you pay a price. However, as you align yourself with them, you enhance yourself in every way. Our former president, self-made billionaire W. Clement Stone, recognized this when he stated in the book he co-authored with Napoleon Hill:

As a society, once we uncover and document more of the major cycles that control and influence our lives, more of us will inevitably begin living and working in greater harmony with them. In doing so, our lives will become simpler, easier and more abundant, and perhaps humanity will slowly evolve from its current state of fear, separateness, and destructive self-centeredness into greater interconnectedness and peace.

From a greater understanding of and appreciation for cycles, we'll also be better able to support the natural cycles that bring life, instead of disrupting and interfering with them, and thus work towards healing some of the environmental damage humanity has done.

It is my sincere hope you'll join the Foundation in this bright new future I'm envisioning, which will be based on society working with cycles instead of against them.

Our vision is a noble one; to uplift the entire human race. I hope you'll participate in this mission. According to one of the surveys I sent out, 75% of our members don't care about helping humanity nearly as much as they care about trading markets. That's fine... but I do care. In fact, that's what drives me, inspires me, and has kept me going through many difficult periods at the Foundation. Trading the market using cycles is all well and good, and quite frankly, the traders are the ones who have kept the Foundation afloat financially for all these years and without them, we wouldn't be here today. So my sincere thanks go out to them. But also, I suggest you "raise your game" if you haven't already. Think more outside yourself in terms of "What can I give?" versus the "What's in it for me?" mantra that many of us repeat.

Recognizing that everything has a cycle has helped the Foundation through many challenging times, because we know that for every down there's an up right around the corner.

We welcome your volunteering your expertise, as well as any tax deductible contributions you can make.

As a member, do you feel, as I do, that the Foundation and Zarathustra are, in a sense, living entities unto themselves, with lives of their own ruled by cycles just like the rest of us?

And, can you recognize that the Foundation and its current board have the HEART that it takes to truly help as many people as possible with the research that Dewey initiated in 1941 when he first established the Foundation?

If you see what I see in terms of how much this new field science will help humanity....

If you feel what I feel in terms of just how critically IMPORTANT this work truly is....

If you sense that the future of the Foundation includes a MASTERY of these cycles that greatly influence our lives, and that this research will lead to a great many discoveries that will benefit the entirety of the human race and other life on earth…

… then it is your duty, as a fellow human being, to help protect and nurture this Foundation and her research that I feel is destined to help countless others.

It is with those words that I conclude this, our final chapter in this three-part Foundation history.

As everything takes longer than you think it will... and as the writing of this series has been delayed several weeks past its intended release date due to circumstances outside my control... it only seems fitting to, once again, extend our 70th Anniversary discounts just a little bit longer.

We were planning to end our celebration on January 31st to round out the month; then it was pushed back to February 3; but with the snow in the Northeast yesterday, and with a friend of the Foundation who was helping us with this project needing to repeatedly dig himself out of snow and ice, I've decided to extend these discounts a little bit longer -- through February 11th.

So, until Friday, February 11, you can still take advantage of any of our 70th Anniversary specials, including the 24k Zarathustra Gold Club (previously named the "24k Club") for only $7,070.

When you donate only $7,070 to the Foundation, you'll become a member of the 24k Zarathustra Gold Club and receive all its benefits (valued at over $24,000).

We will even accept multiple, smaller payments and allow you to participate in our research after just your initial payment.

AND... if you have already previously contributed, we will credit up to $2,000 of your past contributions towards your entry into the 24k Club. Again, we can break that down into easy payments as well.

The 24k Zarathustra Gold Club includes a TON of products and services, including a place on the Zarathustra Research Team -- and you'll receive a copy of the Zarathustra software once coding into the new language has been completed.

Zarathustra itself has been selling for $5,274 so this is an incredible deal. The price of Zarathustra is about to increase significantly after Monday to $10,000 per license, as it is currently extremely under-priced given its actual value. Again, academic licenses will be in the range of $200,000 and up when we begin making those available.

The 24k Club is a complete package that will give you all the tools you need to develop a deep understanding and practice of cycles. Not only that, you'll also be a direct part of our Zarathustra Research Team for a full year and so will be privy to such breakthroughs, many of which will not be shared with our general membership until long after they are discovered -- giving you time to implement them first.

Several members of the Z Team have been working closely with me in January in conducting further research and, thanks to this alliance, we've already made at least two new discoveries that further refine Z's output! And, once we apply our neural net software in conjunction with these recent discoveries, this should allow us to match up our Z output with the market cycles close to 100% in many instances.

Our Zarathustra output, while it has matched up with market cycles to a great extent -- thus demonstrating the planetary signals to be the underlying cause of those cycles -- it has still shown some inversions. That is why this is considered a research project.

One of our goals for 2011, as stated in a previous email, is to eliminate inversions and to match the Z output with the market cycles 100% perfectly.

What our Z Team has just discovered may have just led to the early achievement of this goal. At the very least, we expect it will greatly reduce, if not eliminate, most of these inversions through the new signal processing methods we just discovered.

A part of the inversion issue appears to be related to the way the market days run in terms of holidays and weekends (planets don't go on vacation and don't take weekends off). By figuring these elements into the equation, we've found we can get a much closer match.

And after we applied our new discovery to a segment from 3-10-09 to 3-20-09 to see if it would correct the inversion seen in the segment outlined by red above, we got this:

So, suffice it to say, we're making extremely rapid progress towards our goal of "making the blue line match the black line."

The blue line is the actual gold price data. The black line is the raw Zarathustra planetary data with a moving average applied to it, combined with the new signal processing discovery our team just made.

For trading, we could have entered on 3-9-09, exited at 3-15-09; then shorted gold until 3-19-09, and then went long again until near its top at 3-22-09.

This is just one example. Soon we'll be providing enter and exit signals through a new premium Zarathustra subscription service. Again, stay tuned, as that's coming soon.

We're also finding another strong influence on our signals. This involves a specific celestial body that appears to be exerting a rather significant effect at very specific times, acting as sort of a "lens" that distorts the signal during those periods. Knowing this, we can now account for those factors and make adjustments to our data to compensate.

We're still examining this relationship, but again, we see strong indications of this effect happening at very specific and predictable intervals, which would indicate it is well beyond the realm of chance. We'll continue researching this in March and will share our findings with participating Z Research Team members.

If you're a Z Research Team member and haven't yet joined us for an impromptu WebEx research session and would like to, let me know and we'll get you on one of those sessions. The more input the better, as we're already seeing.

If you'd like to join the Zarathustra Research Team and help us further our research in 2011, this is your last chance to acquire a place on our team before the price is raised significantly. This is your final opportunity to get into Z for a song, as you may find the new pricing to be out of your financial reach.

As always, thanks for taking the time to read all this. I know it was a bit lengthy, but I hope you found it interesting and will consider sharing our work with others. Please send anyone you feel may be interested in this work to our website to join as a free member.

I'm sure my endless "mendicant pleas", as Dewey called them, get tiresome to receive and may at times make us appear a bit "desperate" for funding (hey, no shame there). But please realize, if such pleas weren't absolutely necessary for the Foundation's survival, I wouldn't bother. I'd rather lose myself in research. But, until we get enough funding to do our own Z signal trading and thus develop our endowment, we need your financial support to remain afloat. The support of our members has gotten us very far in our research, allowing us to discover the actual cause of cycles, which is nothing short of revolutionary in the deepest meaning of the word.

Someday this science will be benefitting every part of our lives thanks to your generous support today.

David M. Perales
President / Chairman of the Board
Foundation for the Study of Cycles

P.P.S. Please donate today to keep us afloat. A new building means more rent. Help us cover it and continue our research.

P.P.P.S. We currently need the following: More money (as usual); a volunteer astrophysicist to help us apply specific laws governing planetary movements to the Zarathustra methodology (calculus isn't my strength unfortunately); a volunteer VB programmer to help us with coding. The benefits to you in donating money is that it's tax-deductible and it will help you become wealthier ("as you give, so shall ye receive"). The benefit to donating your time and expertise is you will be part of history and be on the bleeding edge of this new science that will help humanity. There's gotta be some good karma in that, right?

The Zarathustra Research Team discount expired at the end of 2010. The pricing is now $5,274 for a Zarathustra license alone, and this will soon be raised to its new price of around $10,000.

If you would still like to join the Zarathustra Research Team for 2011, the best value at this time would be to join the 24k Zarathustra Gold Club, which includes not only all the benefits of being on the Zarathustra Research Team, but also much more, for only $7,070.

Here’s what you’ll receive as a member of the 24k Zarathustra Gold Club:
