War Cycles Will Affect Everything!

by Larry Edelson, June 17, 2015

I hope by now that you're taking the war cycles that I've been telling you about since late 2012 seriously. Martin has been documenting the details around the globe. I work with the big picture, the cycles and forces that are causing the world's social fabric to come unglued. Domestically and internationally.

That's why I also believe that the war cycles must also be understood in the right context. That context is the following: Not since the mid- and late-1800s have so many different war cycles converged together at the same time.

Back then we had the American Civil War, then the Spanish American War and the California Indian Wars. Across the globe, we had the  Taiping Rebellion, the Second Anglo-Burmese War, the 1853 to 1856 Crimean War,  the 1854 to 1873 Miao Rebellion in China ...  The Ten Years' War of Cuba  and Spain ... the Japanese invasion of Taiwan (1895) ...And dozens more domestic and international conflicts.

In the years leading up to  the peak of the current convergence of war cycles — in 2020 — we will see  dozens more conflicts erupt all over the world.

Many ask me, "What kind of wars can we expect?" My answer: Just about  anything goes, from civil war to international war, to increased government  spying on citizens ... to intergovernmental and corporate espionage ... to currency  and trade wars … to rising fascism ... anti-Semitism ... to natural resource  wars ... and also, to war on your wealth and retirement.

Entire borders will be redrawn. For instance, Scotland will eventually separate from the U.K. after a 308-year-old union.

The Spanish province of Catalonia already wants to separate from Spain. Italy has three secessionist movements underway: the Northern League and nationalist groups in Venice and Sardinia.

Quebec has been threatening to secede from Canada for more than 50 years, and my sources tell me a new movement is organizing to push through another referendum. In the last one, in 1995, Quebec lost by only one percentage point.

The U.S. is no exception.  Movements to secede are now active in 35 states — yes, fully 70 percent of all in the union.

Included among them are active secession movements in Texas, California, Vermont, New York (Long Island) ... Massachusetts and Maryland. The list goes on and on, and includes a total of 124 active secessionist movements.

It's a sign of the times. And as more and more separatist, secessionist movements crop up all over the world, you can count on big government clamping down harder than ever before.

Big governments' hunt for higher and higher tax revenues is why you can expect more civil strife and domestic unrest.

Why? Because big governments need the tax revenues of a larger and larger number of people, not smaller numbers.

But ironically, this hunt for money that mostly the Western governments of Europe and the U.S. are engaging in

is precisely why you can expect more civil strife, more domestic unrest and more secession movements in the future.

This is a sign of the times. It's not just Russia versus Ukraine ... it's not just China versus Japan ... it's not just the peripheral countries of Europe versus Germany or France ...

It's a systemic rise of civil and international discontent all over the world that at its root ...  is all about big government versus the people.

It's going to get worse, a lot worse. And it's the single most important force that you need to pay attention to going forward. It's more powerful than inflation ... more powerful than fiat money. Rising social discontent is more powerful that just about any economic force known to civilization.

Think Ferguson and Baltimore were racial issues? On the surface, that's what they seem like. But they have nothing to do with race, and everything to do with people versus authority.  Same for the recent incident at a pool party in McKinney, Texas last week.

As I have said all along, the current setup of the war cycles — the way they are converging and ramping higher — has not been seen in at least 150 years. And over the next five years, until they peak in 2020.

That means you can expect all kinds of strange things to happen. It is also, ironically, one of the reasons you will want to own stocks, lots of them, once the Dow Industrials and other major broad stock markets stage a much-needed pullback.

Why? Because the war cycles —  even though they will also be impacting the U.S. — will send trillions of  dollars to our shores, the U.S. being considered the safest country to park  wealth in.

Right now, all markets are moving sideways in some of the tightest trading ranges in years. But don't be fooled. The tightest trading ranges in years will soon give way to the wildest market moves in years. Stay tuned in, very tuned in.

Just when the “Puppet Masters” want us to sink into their contrived global identity, all the factions in all these countries are fighting.  So, the question is: Do the “puppet masters” start the fighting, the way George Soros does in Ukraine and Baltimore and Ferguson, or are the people in these warring countries flexing their provincial muscles to reject being controlled; or is it some of each ? I think wherever there is violence, there is a group of well-funded Communists creating the violence to destabilize law and order.

In the US, we are being relatively nonviolent, except for the Soros paid rioters of Ferguson and Baltimore. As voters, we are not happy with the economy the lack of jobs and the cost of healthcare, education and government. Conservatives blame government bankruptcy, excessive immigration, debt, abuse, overreach and hubris. Socialists blame “warmongers” for not spending the DOD budget on welfare. We are divided in half.
