Dear Arkite,

Listen now to my latest interview on the IRF podcast:

Image

David Osman of IRF is joined by David Murrin, the Founder of Global Forecaster.

In this podcast David Murrin discusses his '5 Stages of Empire' model and the influence of longer run cyclical trends on geopolitical risks, political factors, the world economic outlook and the prospects for the global financial markets. David assesses the deep-seated problems in the USA and the damage that President Trump’s tariffs and other policies are doing to the country’s international reputation. He points out that this has major implications for the value of the US dollar and its role as the world’s reserve currency.

David also explains the basis for his dramatic views about the dangers of Chinese expansionism in northeast Asia and the rising risks of a wider war in the Middle East, as well as the potential for an escalation of Russia’s hostile actions in Europe. David says this has put us on the cusp of World War 3, pitting the West against hostile actions by the “Axis of Autocracy”.

Meanwhile, he points out that the unfolding of a commodity super cycle will have a profound impact on global inflation, bond markets and cryptocurrencies.

David notes that this helps to explain the recent sharp increase in the price of gold into overbought territory. In these circumstances, David sees the prospects for world stock markets becoming increasingly problematic, particularly the outlook for the US stock market and its dominant AI investment theme.

Our Aspirations for Ukraine and The Prevention of WW3

America and Europe must confront Putin as a bully, acting as one, responding swiftly and with Iron determination to all provocations, and ensuring that words are matched by decisive and punitive actions.

Europe and America must move to an emergency war footing, delivering maximum aid to Ukraine to ensure victory and the ejection of Russian forces to the 2014 borders. At the same time, NATO should establish a “Sky Shield” an integrated air and missile defence system, extending initially to the Dnipro River, with a clear warning to Putin that any further Russian incursion across NATO borders or grey zone actions would trigger a progressive shift of the defensive line 100 miles westward foir each mistomina, until the skyshiled reached over Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders. Focusing Russian ground forces to retreat.

A swift Ukrainian victory would demonstrate renewed Western resolve, which could buy critical time. It would delay X's plans for war in the Pacific while the West closes its capability gap and restores credible deterrence in Asia. The desired outcome is the emergence of a new Cold War that remains contained, preventing escalation into World War III.

Global Forecaster’s aspirations represent the culmination of our analysis and predictions. The first step to joining us and echoing our aspirations is enhancing your understanding of Putin's war strategy and weapons.

This week, we are publishing three extended reports on Russia that will give our readers a unique insight into Putin's mindset, strengths, weaknesses, and the prognosis for Russia and the war in Ukraine and across Europe.

• The Battle For Ukraine 86:Understanding The Traumatised Russian Mindset
• The Battle For Ukraine 87; Putin's Nuclear Leverage
• The Battle for Ukraine 88: Putin's Northern Submarine Fleet  Leverage and  The Hidden Front of WW3

If YOU want peace, then Stand Tall and Go Gold, so you can become informed and have a say in our future.

Dear Arkite,

Listen now to my latest The State Of It podcast: Rulers of the Waves: The Past, Present, and Future of Global Navies

Image

Horatio and David discuss the past, present and possible future of maritime power. David talks about how and why the Britain rose to dominate the waves in the 18th and 19th centuries, the pivotal lessons from that naval strategy, and the subsequent decline of Western naval supremacy.

Horatio also takes the conversation onto the present and future. Discussing the critical maritime power shift, driven by China’s shipbuilding capabilities. Pivoting also towards modern technologies such as quantum tech and drones and how they might impact navies and modern warfare. Thus pressing the west to overcome the sea blindness that we are currently experiencing before it gets too late to regain a foot in global sea power.

The End Of Russia 

Putin has trapped Russia in a no-win situation. Europe has awakened, is rearming, and is now finally becoming far stronger and resolute. With sustained European support, even without America, which has also not finally come down against Putin, Moscow cannot achieve victory in Ukraine without ever-greater reliance on Chinese aid —economic, technological, and direct military support.

This growing dependence on China is steadily reducing Russia to the status of a junior partner within Beijing’s orbit. Over time, that imbalance will deepen until Russia risks being fully subsumed into China’s strategic sphere. To become a vassal state serving Chinese interests rather than an independent great power.

This is the story that Western propaganda should be telling the Russian people.

Dear Arkite,

Watch my latest interview on Catherine Cathmore's Land Cycle Investor podcast:

"David joins me to dissect what happens next in the wake of Trump’s “peace” deal in the Middle East, the grinding war in Ukraine, and the tectonic shifts rippling through the global order.

His insights – as always - are incredibly thought-provoking.

You'll discover....

• Why the so-called “peace” in Gaza may only be a pause before a wider regional war - and why Iran’s weakened defences could tempt a U.S.–Israel strike.
• How a conflict in the Gulf could send oil prices soaring, re-igniting 1970s-style inflation across the West.
• The return of empire thinking - Russia, China, and Iran aligning into an Axis of Autocracy, challenging U.S. hegemony.
• The next stage of the 108-year war cycle - and why Murrin believes the world is already entering its pre-war phase.
• Why commodity prices and gold are the market’s early warning system for the next global reset.
• How the West’s social divisions mirror the “entropy” of empires past - the signal of systemic decline.

But that’s not all!

The conversation soon turns far beyond war.

We revisit David’s provocative thinking on UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), the rise of artificial intelligence, and the coming quantum age - where technology, consciousness, and warfare converge.

From AI’s role as the final stock-market bubble to the prospect of sentient machines and quantum-linked minds, this is a journey into the frontiers of evolution itself - where the next great breakthrough, or breakdown, awaits."

“The dark factories of China, just like the Orcs and Trolls in Lord of the Rings, are working away with their forges and hammers, and they are doing it now as we sleepwalk into WW3. 

The difference is that In previous wars, there were places in the world that could be safe havens. Lots of people ask me today, ‘Where should I go?’ And I say, ‘you don't get it.

There will be nowhere to go. You either fight, or you're fucked. If we fall under the shadow of what is truly the Dark Chinese Empire, there will be nowhere to hide.

We're looking at whether individuality and democracy are extinguished for hundreds or thousands of years.

We're looking at the future of mankind, our souls, our beings, our beliefs.

We are looking at a wave of great darkness spreading around the globe.

A terrible darkness that we can either all stand against together or be washed away, divided.
