Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
History repeats largely because those in power NEVER consult history before they hand down some decree. The scheme behind letting all these migrants infiltrate the country is that they will vote Democrat and keep them in power forever. As I have said before, I was asked by Hong Kong to negotiate with Australia to try to buy land because it was being handed back to China in 1998. I met with the former Prime Minister Paul Keating. who at the time was the Treasurer. I explained I had a blank check and could pay off the national debt of Australia. The answer was always no. Out of frustration, I finally asked if this was a racist thing. He said no. He was Labour, and if they let these people into Australia, they would all vote conservative and change the politics of Australia.
This is why the Democrats are allowing the country to be flooded with migrants with ZERO skills and handing them $2200 a month, which is more than many get on Social Security. This is all politics. The migrants will be told who to vote for in 2024. After that, they intend to draft these people and send them to fight Russia in Eastern Europe.
During the 1840s, that is when the Sovereign Defaults were taking place at the State level. This unleashed what was called the “Hard Times,” coinciding with the migration from Ireland to America in the wake of the Great Famine of the 1940s. The proximate cause of the famine was a potato blight that infected potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s, causing an estimated 1 million deaths in Ireland from famine and an additional 100,000 deaths outside Ireland. This also contributed to the civil unrest in Europe that became widespread and evolved into the European Communist Revolutions of 1848. This would eventually also influence Karl Marx (1818-1883) and his first edition of the Communist Manifesto in 1848.
We must refer to history to see society’s past mistakes and understand what will unfold. The United States’ emerging market was engulfed in a Sovereign State Debt Crisis of the 1839-1844 period because Andrew Jackson wanted to destroy the central bank because his opponents had borrowed from the Bank of the United States. He moved the federal government funds to his “pet” state banks, unleashing what became known as the broken banknote era. Without a central bank, all the individual banks began to issue their own currency. The frauds were enormous. Nobody knew if the banks were solvent or not or where they even existed. Brokers in NYC would buy notes at a discount and from question one branch banks and place them into circulation.
The Panic of 1837 began the Sovereign Debt Crisis, unfolding into the Hard Times period. This economic event also destroyed the credit standing of ALL states and the Federal Government. Because people were already suffering from the economic crisis, the immigrants pouring into the United States sparked a real uprising, for they would work for little pay, taking jobs from the Native Americans. This became the Nativism movement, which was anti-immigrant. On top of that, the old English feud between the protestants v. Catholics merely resurfaced in America since the immigrants were Irish Catholics.
The population of Philadelphia more than doubled during the 1840s from 161,410 to 388,721. It spilled beyond the original city limits (from South to Vine Streets between the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers) in all directions, which put a strain on the city not designed to accommodate such rapid growth. There was also no professional police force in Philadelphia at the time. Previously, during the 1830s, there was also the national abolition movement. Many blacks migrated to Philadelphia, taking jobs from the locals, which was the origin of the Navitism Movement. This manifested in the Pennsylvania State Constitution of 1838, which rescinded the right to vote among the free Blacks. This was not racist; it was sparked by the economic decline and the rising unemployment.
In 1844, the rise of Nativism appeared because of the economic depression taking the form of a political position of demanding a favored status for certain established inhabitants of a nation as compared to claims of newcomers or immigrants. Nativism typically means opposition to immigration and support of efforts to lower the political or legal status of specific ethnic or cultural groups because the groups are considered alien to the natural culture, failing or unable to assimilate, taking employment from native sons.
Then the migration of the Irish Catholics sparked the Nativist/Protestant sentiment to explode in 1844. The Catholics objected to having their children use the Protestant King James Bible in public schools. The Nativist groups spread a false rumor that Catholics were trying to remove the Bible from public schools. The old hatred from the English Civil War rose again. On the evening of Friday, May 3rd, 1844, a Nativist organization called for a meeting in the Kensington district. They reconvened on the following Monday, and this turned violent as gunshots were exchanged and a riot ensued. Nativists converged on the Irish Kensington district over the next three days and burned more than thirty buildings, including a Catholic school and St. Augustine’s Catholic Church at Fourth and Vine Streets.
Order was restored only by the government calling in the military to suppress the riots. As always, once the first blood is drawn, vengeance follows. Again, riots broke out on July 6th and 7th, 1844. It was really about people migrating to Philadelphia during the hard times and rising unemployment. Just with the blacks previously, this was with the Irish, and this too was manifesting in anti-Catholic sentiment at the growing population of Irish Catholics.
Nativist Riots broke out again in July after it was discovered that St. Philip Neri’s Catholic Church in Southwark dared to arm itself for protection against the protestant mobs using religion as an excuse for violence. This time, fierce fighting broke out between the Nativists and the soldiers who were sent in to protect the church. The protestant Nativists attacked the soldiers, and numerous deaths and injuries took place. The violence helped nationally fuel criticism of the Nativist movement, which claimed to be victims. The Nativist Riots also exposed the need for local police rather than troops to maintain order. Eventually, the police department was formed and consolidated in Philadelphia in 1854.
With all the immigrantion both into Europe and the United States under this Soros theory of an Open Society, is purely an academic fantasy. They totally ignore culture which is the key to understanding that such a mixture undermines the unity of the state. The Civil Unrest that our computer is projecting especially from 2024 onward, will be accelerated as it was during the 1840s by the economic downtrend from May 7th, 2024 to 2028.

The modern Nativist Riots will start in a Home Depot parking lot somewhere in Texas, I’ll betcha
Or small-town Maine . . . or some other small town.
Here come the Gutians…
Not migrants, invaders. Not immigration, invasion. Nativism requires a sense of identity, a common heritage and cultural nexus.
Instead we have a ginger-haired crooner making ballads outside his trailer about economic, cultural, political, and spiritual displacement that becomes a platform for ‘melting pot’ propaganda about ‘our greatest strength’. “Don’t let them divide us”. Sure, its only about the proper paperwork.
There is no nativism with blank-slate civnat submission to globo-economicus. If all we have are ‘jobs’ and product consumption, well then those ‘migrants’ are gonna keep on eating the lunches of those dwindling ginger-haired boys in trailers who at this point already barely know what has already been lost.
Not standing up for illegals but “divide and conquer” is working superbly, if nothing else, this strategy is straight up killing it. It’s a self reinforcing feed back loop.
What we have now are about 5 major groups that hate each other enough, and have the capability, to start killing each other. These conflicts and the violence/vigilantism that will ensue will bring on the Martial Law and probably internet shutdown that whomever or whatever is running this shit show craves. Throw in an economic meltdown and more variants and whatever else is for dinner…………
My money is on no election in 2024.
There was no election in 2020.
As always, there was a “selection.”
Mr. Armstrong has misrepresented Jackson in this article. Jackson nullified the central bank because he had a genuine distaste for any institution controlling the financial system in the country. He also paid off the National debt. An amazing accomplishment. Mr. Armstrong makes many valid arguments about the dysfunction, and corruption of modern society. Nevertheless his slavish devotion to the idea of a central bank is in direct contradiction to his stated belief in individual freedom.
” our computer ”
I wish Martin would explain that. What kind of data and where does he get it from? What goes into this magical info box that spits out these predictions? Can it be used for gambling?
This “computer” thing makes me not take this guy very seriously.
“I was here first!”
vs.
“Now it’s my turn!”
We all learn these two diametrically opposed philosophies when we’re just
little kids, but as adults we often forget to see this as the underlying dispute in
many political and cultural battles.
The first thing I learned when I was a kid, was who does the ass kicking and who gets their asses kicked, and how to avoid the former and never be the latter. That lesson continues to serve me well to this day in all sorts of ways.
Optimism rules here…
I think you are way to sunny in the forecast.
Turkeys just wiped out 3 guys efforts and $1,200 in seeds, lime and fertilizer. All the green was vacuumed, even looks a little like the hog damage down south. Reminds me of the illegals effect on the blue cities. Celebrate the perversity!
History repeats itself because those in power FORGET that the first thing they did when they came to power was to RE-WRITE the history books to cover for their crimes and ignorance.
“The one thing we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history.” – Hegel
(Actually I used this quote once at a campaign event when speaking about why we needed to end the failed war on drugs). An older man in the audience came up to me afterwards and said that he used to run numbers for Capone in Chicago and completely agreed with my position and would give me his vote.
TPTB are not allowing millions of illegals in to change the demographics. That’s weapon’s grade naivete. Why would they need millions of potential dem voters, mostly young men, when they have a myriad of ways to cheat. 2022 should be proof enough. Do you really think the Biden created nightmare is an illusion, that’s millions of people having the chance to change direction decided not to??? Good grief.
These illegals will be the shock troops fo the swamp. When the bennys cut off and they take to the streets to rampage, the government will step in to bring order.
I would say they absolutely DO consult and study history to see what worked in the past and will work for them again. Yes, they wail about how history ‘keeps repeating itself’ and how we should study and learn from ancient Rome and Greece, etc., but really they love to know how to manipulate the present by learning from what worked in the past.
Homosexuality and sex with minors? ✅
Down pat.
Correction- the invaders being flown in and ushered through non-existent border security are, clearly, weaponized migration.
Most, as in the vast majority, are males of fighting age. They are incompatible with the native peoples, will and are committing crimes with free passes, watering down the race, raping, etc etc.
Diversity plus Proximity equal war. Always has.
The Kazarian monsters know this, and have the power and fake currency to implement it. Imagine the cost to fly a quarter million Haitians into Mexico, provide them phones, shoes, promise of riches, if they’ll simply walk north into the US.
Leverage clout through purchased and blackmailed politicians to castrate the border guard in its entirety. Sickening.
This war goes to 11. Get ready.
The reason western governments allow this is because of GDP. Immigration artificially inflates GDP figures to make the government look good to the bankers. As long as the interest is paid that’s what matters to get more. Australia will import 1.5million immo’s before 2006 that’s the size of a city. There aren’t enough houses already so the government just announced billions to build new houses except the amount of tradesmen needed don’t exist. The budget will blow out because infrastructure isn’t factored in. Meaning the government will have to borrow more. This will deflate GDP in real terms so the government will have to import more immo’s. It will never stop.
A large part of the Globalist agenda is depopulation by war, among other methods. Looking forward, I am willing to bet one of the caveats of the coming UBI is going to be mandates requiring registering for military conscription.
If history is any indicator of the future, immigrants have in the past been encouraged to immigrate for the purpose of being used in wars that were either being planned or already in progress.
Modern warfare against real armies, not the goat farmers we have been fighting for the past 20 years, is extremely casualty intensive as we are seeing in Ukraine. Zelenski recently admitted they are in process of developing enough grave yards to accommodate 600K casualties.
The fact is, the world is running out of resources, and wars for the control of what resources remain will be intense, and worldwide. The globalists are fully focused on both controlling the dwindling resources, and reducing the consumption of those resources by reducing the worldwide population.
