THIS WEEK’S EDITORIAL
THE BANKERS VERSUS MASS DEPOPULATION: The Bankers Plus India and China versus the Malthusians — a Blockbuster Conflict coming soon to Planet Earth.
There are suggestions of a mass depopulation program being used against many nations. Deaths from All Causes appear to be rising in the younger age groups 15 years – 60 years and many insurance companies have already warned us of this, especially increasing in the last quarter of 2021. We already have a name for this phenomenon — Sudden Adult Death Syndrome SADS. There now appears to be a growing epidemic of sudden death in the previously healthy, even in our top athletes and football players.
The theory is that Covid is an engineered, man-made bioweapon deliberately released to infect the planet and to reduce its population dramatically. Some also suggest that the Covid leaky vaccines using mRNA genetic technology and viral vector genetic technology have been designed to accelerate and add to this process.
Thomas Robert Malthus was an English scholar and influential economist in the late 18th century. He wrote a book in 1798 titled “An Essay on the Principle of Population”. In it, he observed that an increase in a nation’s food production improved the well-being of the population, but the improvement was always temporary because it led to population growth. Taken to its extreme, the followers of Malthus — called Malthusians — predict that the Earth’s resources are limited and therefore cannot support endless growth. Thus a certain maximum level of population must exist. They believe that the total population must therefore be controlled below that level.
If such a deliberate global mass depopulation program is occurring, presumably driven by modern day Malthusians, then BOOM predicts that it must eventually come into a severe, direct conflict with the commercial banking sector of all nations and then the central banks. Why? Because banking depends upon the continual renewal and expansion of its loan books in aggregate. And if such renewal of loans and growth in loans is threatened by demographic contraction, then the banks will be faced with shrinking loan books and falling revenues. And if the available pool of borrowers shrinks, the banks will eventually become desperate and reckless in issuing loans. The insolvency of banks would then threaten as sure as night follows day.
For the purposes of this discussion, let’s assume that the mass depopulation hypothesis is correct. Current total global population is estimated to be almost 8 Billion. Some hypotheses imagine a target population of half that number for sustainability to occur. But others suggest a figure as low as 500 Million.
The Georgia Guidestones are a mysterious granite monument erected in 1980 in Elbert County, Georgia, in the United States. A set of ten guidelines is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient language scripts. One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it. A capstone lies on top of the five slabs, which are astronomically aligned. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones.
The structure is sometimes referred to as an “American Stonehenge”. The anonymity of the Guidestones’ authors and their apparent advocacy of population control, eugenics, and internationalism have made them an object of controversy and conspiracy theories for more than 40 years.
There is a set of ten guidelines or principles engraved on the Georgia Guidestones in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, and Russian.
Guideline Number 1 is to maintain humanity under 500 Million population in perpetual balance with nature. Another guideline is to “guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity”. It is all very Utopian. This all sounds hard to believe. Most people have never heard of the Georgia Guidestones but the details are easily found on any search engine.

If you look around for the identity of modern day Malthusians, it is relatively easy to find the possible perpetrators. The WEF — World Economic Forum — and its many hangers-on, such as Prince Charles, its Board of Trustees, WEF’s corporate “Partners”, plus the entire Green Movement, the Climate Change Lobby, a man who started a well-known global computer software company, the Club of Rome (which published a book “Limits to Growth”) and Paul Ehrlich (author of “The Population Bomb”, way back in 1968) are the most obvious. And that is not a complete list, by any means. Prophets of Catastrophe are easily identified and most preach that our population growth is the number one problem we face.
So, if BOOM is right, then all of this must eventually find an enemy in the world of banking which depends upon perpetual economic growth (or at the very least, some form of economic equilibrium).
How long will it be before the Bankers of the world work out that this is a confrontation that they cannot afford to ignore? How long will it be before they take action to stop the Malthusians and their dreams of mass de-population and mass-murder? BOOM expects that this conflict will become manifest very soon indeed.
Theoretically, governments should be opposed to mass depopulation and mass death. But they seem mesmerized by the High Priests of Gloom. They beg to be invited into the cabal and they report cap-in-hand on their progress in service to the goal of “Sustainability”.
However, not all governments will be so easily swayed. BOOM thinks that the Bankers have a natural ally in this battle — the people of China and India. Why? It is simple. They have the most to lose with 3 Billion people in their combined total population.
RUSSIA-TURKEY TRADE DOUBLES: Turkey is a member of NATO — the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. And it has the second largest military force in that organization. NATO is (presumably) implacably opposed to Russia but the reasons for that stance remain deeply obscure. Some correspondents have said to BOOM “because Russia is Communist” when they are not. Others have said “because Russia is expansionist and wishes to recreate the USSR” when there appears little evidence to support such a statement. BOOM has to remind people that the Soviet Empire of the USSR is long gone. In fact, it fell (in tatters) over 30 years ago.
Turkey appears pragmatic in its approach. It continues to build upon its relationship with Russia. Last week, it was revealed that trade between Turkey and Russia had doubled in April compared to last April, all while the war in Ukraine has raged. Turkish Airlines is still flying into and out of Russia. Turkey also seems willing to pay for Russian goods with Russian Rubles.
A report recently explained cooperation between Russia and Turkey to clear the mines from the Black Sea shipping lanes to allow Ukrainian and Russian Wheat to be transported South to the starving nations of Africa. This is a positive development in a world gone mad with war. Meanwhile, Russia’s Ruble continues to strengthen against the US Dollar.
COVID WARNING FROM HEART SURGEON IN JAPAN: Virology Journal has published a letter from a cardiovascular surgeon, Kenji Yamamoto, setting out the case for stopping all Covid vaccine booster programs immediately on safety grounds, calling Covid vaccines a “major risk factor in critically ill patients”. The cardiovascular surgery department at Okamura Memorial Hospital, Japan, has seen numerous complications in vaccinated patients, including deaths.
Dr. Yamamoto’s major concern is the damaging impact of Covid vaccines on the immune system. He notes that a Lancet study from Sweden found negative vaccine effectiveness (“lower immune function”) eight months after inoculation.
He hypothesizes that the decrease in immunity is caused by several factors. First, N1-methylpseudouridine is used as a substitute for uracil in the genetic code. The modified protein may induce the activation of regulatory T cells, resulting in decreased cellular immunity. He points out that the spike proteins do not immediately decay (as expected by the pharmaceutical companies) following the administration of mRNA vaccines and can exist for up to 4 months. In vivo studies have also shown that the lipid nanoparticles used in the leaky vaccines accumulate in the liver, spleen, adrenal glands and ovaries. He indicates that the vaccine payload of the Lipid Nanoparticles containing mRNA is potentially highly inflammatory, that there is evidence of vascular endothelial cells being damaged by spike proteins in the bloodstream.
Additionally, antibody-dependent enhancement ADE may occur. Dr Yamamoto states “further booster vaccinations should be discontinued”. He states “it has been hypothesized that there will be an increase in cardiovascular diseases, especially acute coronary syndromes, caused by the spike proteins in genetic vaccines.” Reference Virology Journal: https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12985-022-01831-0
GRIM GLOBAL FORECASTS: The World Bank has issued a forecast of reduced global economic growth with continued CPI inflation. It cut its global growth expectation for 2022 from 4.1% to 2.9% with Stagflation being inevitable.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses in the UK, Martin McTague, warned that 500,000 small businesses in the UK will go bankrupt within weeks. “They have got literally weeks left before they run out of cash and that will mean hundreds of thousands of businesses, and lots of people losing their jobs.”
Then, Christian Kullmann, the head of the German Chemical Industry Association and CEO of Evonik Industries AG, Germany’s second largest chemical company, said “the industry is deprived of the air that it needs for breathing, or rather, the gas it needs for work. The countries of Eastern Europe are almost completely dependent on energy supplies from Russia”. And “after Germany has already said goodbye to nuclear energy and coal, now there is a discussion about whether to stop gas supplies from Russia. But it is important to remember that gas is the basis of our energy supply. So calling for a gas embargo is not only unreasonable, it’s outrageous”.
Then, US President Joe Biden blamed Russia for a looming crisis in the US, saying his country might not be able to generate enough electricity to meet consumer demand, partly due to the conflict in Ukraine. He declared an Energy Emergency, saying national security and quality of life are jeopardized by potential shortfalls in power supplies. “Multiple factors are threatening the ability of the United States to provide sufficient electricity generation to serve expected customer demand”.
Gloom and Doom seems to be the dominant theme especially with annual US CPI inflation hitting 8.6% in May after two previous months at 8.5% and 8.3%. However, the annual core inflation rate in the US slowed for a second month to 6% in May and the annual “core” inflation rate, which excludes food, shelter, energy, and used cars and trucks, was little changed at 5.8 percent. However, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls in the US rose by just 0.3%. Wages inflation appears to be subdued which suggests that CPI inflation could rapidly fall as soon as supply chain problems ease.
Peace in Ukraine and the end of “Zero Covid” policies in China are the circuit breakers to watch for. Both appear close but we must not count our chickens before they hatch.

the davos clique arent malthusians, theyre totalitarians, satanists, transhumanists, they worship raw power and hate all natural living things. it’s not even about any kind of strategic goals or rational efforts to realize them – it’s a psychotic drive to dominate and destroy. They can only be sure theyre dominating if theyre turning everything upside down, against any possible natural tendency. otherwise they will always have the nagging paranoid suspicion that perhaps someone wasnt actually acting entirely and solely because of their commands.
malthus correctly pointed out that this world is only so big and only so many of us will fit on it. We all together fell into a bonanza of damn near free and for two centuries damn near limitless energy wealth, and squandered it on mainly very shortsighted nonsense… we also blew up our population about 10x during that time, and the reality is that most of us alive now are only alive because of that industrial empire and the oil, gas, and coal that fuel it… the davos crowd might have figured out that that party is over and energy depletion is a real thing, but they dont give a shit about that from a malthusian point of view. they care about power, power, and power. they do seem to have gotten very keen on killing most of us off- not for some ecological balance, but to try to hang on to power longer because it has dawned on them that when this shit crashes, the most powerful will fall the furthest. Those of us already just getting by out in the country, farming and doing odd jobs, will not see too much of a change. Those high on the totem pole will come crashing down, and thats all they care to postpone..
the rest is their psychotic obsession with turning the natural world upside down, especially as relates to anything human. they really dont want even 500 million humans on tearth, they want no humans at all, if they could only figure out a way to assure themselves some kind of mechanized immortality, which they seem to think is possible, but i still suspect most of them dont trust that it is feasible. hedging their bets would be ruling over a planet-sized gulag.
“the davos crowd might have figured out that that party is over and energy depletion is a real thing,”
I entirely agree with your assessment Anon as I am sure these toxic apologies for humans know only too well that their illusion of paper wealth is about to evaporate. The WEF and friends believe they can secure their privileged exceptionalism by acting out their UN 2030 agenda and will go to any lengths necessary short of nuclear war. This is why Russia, China and Eurasia are such a threat to them. I don’t believe they have any chance of winning this game – I think they will be eaten alive first – there are too many of us to corral.
I also agree with your approach to what I call ‘localisation’ – you may like to review my take on this as a solution for those of us awake enough to do something about it:
https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-localisation?s=w
BTW – the global population is naturally decreasing anyway as the birthrate has fallen to fewer that 2 per woman and in Europe, Japan and China it is creating economic and pension problems even now. The ageing population is not able to be supported by an average of 2 workers having fallen from 9 in the 1950s.
yes, localisation is the real future – and ever local community will be able to succeed largely to the extent and in the manner that they succeed in taking back real sovereignty and agency over their own affairs. Dependence on some external entities will in the best case require endless diplomacy and negotiation and be a permanent source of conflict (e.g. a shared water supply like a river, on which many communities end up depending).. the scale of ‘local’ will also vary from place to place largely dependent on geography and ecology. In some places it might be villages, always in some mix of low level tension and low level cooperation (anyone who’s lived in a world of villages, like the greek countryside, knows exactly what i mean) , in some places it might mean villages with a town or small city somewhere kind of keeping the villages in orbit – basically a rural city-state , in some places it might allow for a bigger town and be a real city-state.. I doubt much of anything beyond that scale will manage to hold together. We’ll still be scavenging the material remains of industrial civilization for centuries or longer. metals will be there for the taking as they rust away. Old scrap and waste will be there for repurposing and recycling. But on the other hand so much of the best land has been poisoned, bulldozed and built over, contaminated, and otherwise ruined. Beyond that it will take generations to really reestablish a culture of widespread knowledge and experience with things like gardening, and a lot of the old labor intensive methods need to be adapted. permaculture was really one of the greatest evolutions of the idea to come out of our late modern age. prophets like masanobu fukuoka will _hopefully_ become as widespread names as those of tv actors today.. but in places where they dont succeed so well in those efforts, i see the earth abused and exhausted- we will be poorer in terms of material surplus, than were the middle ages , and because of this, overall most places will not be able to support even as much concentration of power/wealth as one saw in the middle ages. maybe some warlord-dominated arrangements will develop, especially in places where there is enough ease of contact and movement that a band of armed men can go from one place to another raiding or plundering, even if the transport between those places is not affordable enough for regular peaceful commerce. In such cases some kind of organized defence at a greater level of effort will be necessary – almost always the foundation for a warrior elite to rule that society.
ok, i’m drifting from the topic a bit.. but yes, localisation is _the_ real future. these monsters of the machine empire are already almost walking dead – but this is shallow comfort for those of us who are living through their last effort to hang on to absolute power.
Now to go thinning out the understory in the vineyards (instead of sulfurizing the vines a couple times a year to control molds and rot, i make sure the lower layers of growth are cleared out to not hold lots of moisture close in under the rest of the plant. vines here are not raised up on frames or wires, they’d get trashed by strong winds. instead vines here are left self-supporting much lower to the ground, say around 3 feet high, but this means that despite no rain for even 8 months at a stretch, morning dew etc will keep the middle of the ball too moist and things can rot) and collect a bucket of mulberries which are just now at their peak of ripeness. dragging my feet because the sun is blazing hot. i do wish we were in a cloudier climate! you in albion of course probably dream of sunshine haha!
Brilliant analysis thanks Anon. I should like to use this as part of my Letter next week, with your permission – it covers much of my own feelings about going local. Thank you for your time on this one. 🙂
by all means feel free to!
Happy Days 🙂
IMO, the bankers, at least those in the Western system and controlling all those banks of consequence, are fully owned by Malthusians. Therefore, they will aid the Malthusians, not oppose them. It is irrelevant to those with longer term motives (including those controlling these banks) if specific banking and other institutions fail. That, in fact, appears to be a requirement of “The Great Reset”.
Agreed DJ – it is indeed an objective of the WEF – a centralised world government and a global central bank working with 144 or so global corporations who manage all the global resources.
They have the bones in place already: World Bank, IMF, BIS, UN, WTO, WHO; all it requires is to put flesh on the bones by capturing and sterilising the national governments which is ongoing now. – Covid is part of this process as is inflation and destroying the food supply chains. The bought and paid-for politicians are so dumb they don’t even know they have signed their own death warrants.
The fact that the earth is overpopulated is elementary. The question for the powers that be, is not that depopulation needs to happen, but who they will profit the most from depopulating, and which method for doing so will be most profitable.
War has always been their favorite, because wars are expensive and require massive borrowing putting governments under the control of banks and industrialists. It also creates massive destruction and the need to rebuild requiring more borrowing and markets for what the industrialists produce. Today, man made plagues have also proven to be very profitable so they now find a seat at the table. Artificial shortages of necessities is also a useful tool in controlling the masses.
The question going forward is which groups of people do the Davos crowd want to keep, and who are expendable?
My best guess is that they have 2 criteria. One that they be productive, so as to keep their masters wealthy, and the other is that they be easy to manipulate. The last thing the ruling class want, is a working class with the gumption to stand up against, or oppose them.
If history is any indicator, the developed countries will first experience crushing economic depression, which is now beginning. Worldwide economic depression creates anger among the populations as they lose their assets and sink into poverty. That anger can then be refocused in the direction of other countries which are blamed and dehumanized to create hatred.
We are now standing in the doorway to the next 4th turning, and whether we survive or not, is in question. It is an endless cycle, created because humans as a species, are ruled by the worst of our kind. It is always the psychopaths who seek and obtain power in our world, and it is always their insanity that causes tremendous destruction and human suffering.
All so true Jdog, you have it in one IMHO and describe it well (see my other replies to comments). I foresee a return to the 18th century for those who choose to opt out and localisation comes to the fore – the Amish are a guide.
Peter,
If the world govts institute CBDCs (which they appear to very much want) the banks are essentially screwed. Banks may assess credit worthiness and other mundane functions but Central Banks will be the actual issuers of the credit….yes?
you think that banks exist to lend money?
no, banks anymore exist to control the means of exchange. if they switch to a new mechanism for controlling the means of exchange, they still end up owning everything. Now, this might mean that a large number of the people who currently work in banks, will be out of a job. i can hear the executives crying already.
what they would actually fight to the death against, would be honest money that nobody can control or fuck with… e.g. gold and silver coin (notht he only example but likely the best example).
Yes, I too can see the city bankers crying as their commercial banks become redundant – (see my replies here for reference).
Yes Steve, the central banks will issue the credits under tightly control conditions using a social credit system like Chine now – but I am unsure if it will work for everybody because it requires compliance and we can opt out, except we will have to forgo our income. like pensions or wages etc. An alternative local economy will then have to be used which is what my Financial Jigsaw Part 2 is all about and I am writing it now, posting some items on occasion:
https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-localisation?s=w
Here’s the Chinese prototype version of social credits:
Central Bankers are at the head of the NWO Conspiracy, they are not in any conflict with any part of it now or ever. Communism says to liquidate the Useful Idiots; it’s now time and many NWO pogroms are currently in progress: riots, Chaos, famine, diseases and wars; a CBDC Reset Plan with a Mark of the Beast is their solution to their planned current fiat currencies collapses’ ; everybody that enters their new digital NWO money system will become a Slave of TPTB Elite Oligarchs. Every Christian should try to come out of the World System and flee to the mountains ASAP. I believe that Hoover Dam will reach Dead Pool later this year, and 40 million US South Westerners will have drinking water and electricity problems. That generally food & fuel supplies will be short this Winter so sub-urbanites should be buying a good few acres and making a Liberty Garden ASAP. Guns are inanimate; it’s the criminals stupid. Heaven & Hell are real. Jesus Lives. Vaya con Dios always.
All good stuff as usual rhs jr and you may like to review my comments here – we are always on the same page. Go well and, as you say, head for the hills! 🙂
