Population Crisis

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

I am not sure what the Deagel population decline report is referring to or how they arrived at that conclusion. Yes, I have said there remains the risk of a 50% decline in population as the Sixth Wave of the Economic Confidence Model concludes. This is historically standard. It is a combination of disease and global cooling – not warming. Germany has also had the coldest winter in 104 years and France lost 80% of its wine crop during to cold. Naturally, these people are claiming the extreme cold is also because of CO2. But they just make up this stuff. There is never any accounting with respect to history.

Our models on sunspot warn of a prolonged solar minimum which will not bottom until around 2050. As the climate cools, there will be a rise in disease due to malnutrition. This is not CAUSED by Gates, it is a natural cycle. But his interference is likely to increase the climate crisis and lead to far more deaths than would otherwise take place.

Keep in mind that our models have also correlated volcanoes to solar minimum. Therefore, volcanic activity increases with solar minimum. There are scientists who are starting to actually correlate these trends. The death rate will be far higher in the less developed countries. But it will also be greater in Europe than in North America.

Moreover, we are looking at the collapse of governments on a wholesale level. This is the end of Republics as we have known them. These waves produce complete changes in political systems. Even the last 309.6-year wave led to the collapse of monarchies. This time it will be the Republics and hopefully, we will have a new generation of founding fathers who will turn to direct democracy.

Could Direct Democracy work here? Perhaps it is time to consider dropping DC into the Abyss.

WHAT IS DIRECT POLITICAL DEMOCRACY?

A basic definition of direct democracy is each citizen represents themselves and votes directly on issues confronting the community. This is in stark contrast to all forms of representative democracy where we vote for the congressperson or senator who will vote in our best interest for us-without consulting each of us first. Direct democracy is what today is referred to as libertarian socialism including anarchism. The very idea upon which libertarian socialism is founded is that every person in the community represents themselves and votes directly with the community on matters related to its governance. This should also indicate that anarchism is not chaos, as is often mistaken in the popular usage of the term. Rather, anarchy means a lack of a central authority because authority is decentralized and disbursed among the demos.

THE PROBLEM WITH REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY IN CAPITALIST SOCIETY: ALL ELECTIONS ARE FRAUDS

If we assume that direct democracy is possible in a modern society, then why are we fixated on representative systems? Because this is a clever way for capitalists to circumvent substantive democracy replacing it with an illusory democratic system that they can manipulate while appeasing the masses, lending the system a semblance of legitimacy (Chomsky, 1989, 2002). I, as many others, argue political structures, absent direct democracy, are irrelevant in that they are post hoc reflections of elite interests. Those that control societal resources typically wish to erect political structures that represent and institutionalize their class interests, including representative political systems. Consequently, those that control society’s productive resources can do so only by controlling its political administration which cannot happen under direct democracy.

http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0101-31572016000200430

This article from 2016 explores the idea a bit more.

https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-01-25/direct-democracy-may-be-key-to-a-happier-american-democracy

‘By the People’ – or Not So Much?

Our founders would have been ambivalent about so much direct democracy. Although the country was founded on the notion that people are happier when they have a say in government, the founders were not optimistic about the ability of people to govern themselves too directly. James Madison, the “father” of the Constitution, famously argued the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves.

By the late nineteenth century, average Americans felt excluded from a representative system they saw as becoming a plutocracy. Much like today, Americans then saw government controlled by the rich and corporate. This gave rise to the Populist Era in which citizens demanded government be more responsive to their needs. Most Populist Era reforms were expansions of direct democracy. Examples include the popular election of Senators, a primary system for picking party candidates, and woman’s suffrage.

South Dakota adopted a system of “initiative, referendum, and recall” in 1898. Oregon and California quickly followed, and the system was adopted by another dozen states in under 10 years.

This is complete, absolute bullshit! It is a lie on the highest magnitude that only someone who is completely ignorant of Libertarianism and individual sovereignty would write.
Direct democracy is in its simplest form mob rule, in which the rights and sovereignty of the individual is sacrificed to a simple majority. A lynching without trial is a perfect example of “direct democracy”
A true Constitutional Republic in which the sovereignty and rights of the individual are acknowledged and in which the government is subservient to the individual is the only government in which Libertarianism can be achieved.
The founding fathers who supported individual sovereignty understood this, and were true libertarians.
The suggestion that the sovereignty of the individual could ever be served by a mob rule system is about as ignorant and ass backward as any of the woke bullshit we hear from the leftist socialist who are driving the country into socialist tyranny.

What should be evident is that our untrustworthy corrupt media is guaranteed to ensure public opinion and voting outcomes will always align with our ruling master’s will. Klaus Schwab – Bill Gates own and control the politicians, media, voting system partners (Microsoft ElectionGuard, Dominion, etc), thus will further the illusion that your vote counts and makes a difference.
Covid19 necessitates vaccination-contact tracing app, which nessitates a Global unique Identifier, which will be used for online Voter ID to assure “fair” election outcomes aligning with puppet master’s goals: surveillance state, UBI, digital payment and social credit score system.

I have not seen any data that ever actually shows that. Sure, he talks about his “wins,” but never talks about his losses. Kinda like most the gamblers I know.

And if you go looking for the other side of the story there are a lot of people who shoot him down.

I still read him because it is interesting and is another source of info out there.

But, though cycles do occur in nature, I am heavily resistant to the belief that nature, history, economics, religion, and everything else in the universe is some kind of wind-up toy that can be predicted.

Direct Democracy? Are you joking? There is no more repressive and dangerous form of government to the liberty of the individual than a direct democracy. A lynch mob is a direct democracy. Constitutional Republics are the best form of government for supporting the sovereignty of the individual, providing they can be maintained. That is the hard part.

” I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing… War… has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full… The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of that? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people’s… There are three ways of securing a society that shall be stable as regards population. The first is that of birth control, the second that of infanticide or really destructive wars, and the third that of general misery except for a powerful minority…
War has been throughout history, the chief source of social cohesion by providing an external necessity for a society to accept political rule.”
