OK I looked at the wiki entry:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_A._Armstrong
Says he was charged with SEC fraud and brought to trial, and put in jail for contempt of court.
Totally different from the article from SHTF plan which says:
” He had not be charged with any crime. He was never given a trial. They simply arrested him,seized his life’s work,and threw away the key.”

A Judge in his Courtroom is as close as a human can get to be God on the Earth.
