Dear Arkite,

Listen now to my latest interview with Catherine Cashmore of Land Cycle Investor, "Cycles, economic downturns and intense geopolitical friction":

Image

The Kondratieff cycle represents fundamental shifts in economic power, innovation, and conflicts over resource allocation – often marking the end of an old economic order and setting the stage for a new wave of innovation and prosperity. War and major international conflicts happen in the years approaching the peak of the Kondratieff wave. David Murrin takes this analysis one step further, however. He describes the Kondratieff waves as cycles of entropy—periods characterised by increasing disorder and friction within global human social systems. While Kondratieff originally identified these as roughly 54–56-year economic cycles marked by recurring peaks of conflict, Murrin has expanded this concept to what he terms a major "war cycle," which encompasses two Kondratieff waves, totalling around 108–118 years. Murrin argues this extended cycle better captures the full rhythm of large-scale hegemonic conflicts. The peaks of these extended cycles are marked not just by economic downturns but by intense geopolitical friction, that alter the world order. And this is where we are now! In this week’s LCI interview you’ll discover...

• Why David firmly believes we entered World War 3 back in 2022, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine marking the onset.

• How current global events align precisely with historical cycles of war and empire—specifically his identified 108–112-year war cycle, consisting of two Kondratieff waves.

• The concept of "entropy waves," how they trigger global friction, and why conflicts consistently emerge near the peak of the cycle.

• Insights into America's stage of "terminal decline" in the broader historical pattern of empirical rise and fall.

• The deeper historical and regional complexities at play in the Israel-Gaza conflict with Trump's provocative stance further fuelling geopolitical tensions.

• Why David sees China as the central force behind current geopolitical tensions, empowering aggressive actions from nations like Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

• The critical significance of Ukraine—not as a minor regional conflict but as a major global battle indicative of this larger, ongoing war cycle.

• How the current geopolitical instability fits into a repeated pattern of history, forecasting substantial global upheaval before the cycle's expected peak in 2030.

The interview is a must-watch for anyone seeking clarity about today's chaotic geopolitical landscape and future developments.

Murrinations: Your Compass In A Chaotic World

Dear Arkite,

Listen now to my latest interview on Palisades Gold Radio:

Tom Bodrovics, Palisades Gold Radio, welcomes back global forecaster and author David Murrin to discuss the significance of historical understanding for predicting complex geopolitical events and avoiding future conflicts. Murrin shares his belief in the repetition of historical patterns due to human unconsciousness, emphasizing the importance of studying history from multiple perspectives. He believes that the current geopolitical situation between the West and China/Russia could lead to World War Three, highlighting historical cycles as potential catalysts for conflict.

Image

Talking Points From This Episode

• David Murrin stresses historical patterns' repetition and their role in predicting geopolitical conflicts.
• He identifies five stages of empires and warns about China's economic instability and military expansion.
• Murrin advocates understanding war blindness, lateral thinking, and historical cycles to prevent future conflicts.

Listen now to my latest interview on the Macrocast by Forbes Tate Partners:

In this episode, the Macrocast team is joined by global forecaster and author David Murrin. Using Murrin’s international relations theories as a framework for analysis, they take a macro-level view of the U.S. economy and its role in a shifting global order. The discussion explores whether the U.S. is in decline, the impact of global conflict—from the Middle East to Ukraine—and the role of debt. The episode concludes with insights from December’s job market data.

Dear Arkite,

Today, the journey to disclosure and greater global UAP awareness is building momentum. Watch my interview with Catherine Cashmore of Land Cycle Investor to find out more:

Image

The recently released book Imminent by Luis Elizondo exposes the incredible evidence outlined by a key government insider turned whistleblower, which is a game changer for humanity. Additionally, a further area of interest is that we note the correlation between UAPs, war, and nuclear weapons, which crosses over into the domain of the unfolding of WW3 in the current entropic pulse into 2030. In addition, the potential duration and scale of the UAP cover-up goes to the heart of the Nature of Western democratic Governments."

Our discussion is a fascinating one – and to my knowledge, the only interview David has done solely on the subject. As David stresses, it is time to move beyond merely asking, "Are they real?" Instead, we should consider deeper, more urgent questions, such as:

• How much do the US and other governments know?
• How long have UFOs been visiting Earth?
• What is the connection between UFOs and nuclear weapons?
• What are the unique technological capabilities of UFOs?
• Where could UFOs come from?
• Has there been a sustained cover-up of UFO activity?
• Do UFOs operate under a policy of interference or non-interference in human affairs?
• What are USOs (Unidentified Submersible Objects) doing under our oceans?
• Have we already had close encounters?
• Would disclosure trigger the biggest cultural shift in human history?
• Why are they here?

Feedback

Really enjoyed the interview, definitely some golden nuggets in there and made me think of a few correlations I hadn't thought about before.
@conormcg8702

The Russian K Wave has it. Mike Maloney’s stages of empire, Fourth Turning etc. Always good to hear from Mr Murrin. Especially his conversation with Grant Williams. Best conversation I’ve listened to I think forever-the one with Grant. Need better thinkers here in the UK. We simply need this kind of stuff going more mainstream tbh.

Great guest😊

As we approach this festive season, I wish you and your loved ones peace, joy, and renewed optimism as you face the significant challenges ahead.

Christmas is a time to pause and reflect on the year that has passed and the opportunities that lie ahead. In a world of entropic change, I believe that, based on my theory of human anti-entropy, love, unity, adaptability, innovation, and resilience, underpinned by hope, guide us forward to the light.

In the face of challenges, we are reminded of the strength found in family and community, which gives us the courage to face darkness and embrace transformation.

Most importantly, let the spirit of Christmas inspire gratitude for all we have and are in this moment.

Fueling a new determination to meet the future with open hearts and minds.

May this season bring you love, clarity, compassion, and the resolve to turn uncertainty into opportunity, lighting the path to a brighter and more prosperous year ahead.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with hope, health, and endless possibilities.

With warmest regards,

David Murrin
Global Forecaster
