Global Forecaster David Murrin and Catherine Cashmore discuss the escalation toward World War Three

Considering recent global events, it couldn’t be a more foreboding time.

The volatility of this cycle has been significant.

Economically, the stages have played out as expected.

We’ve witnessed land prices follow the same repeating pattern, in the same sequence and rhythm, as outlined in Hoyt’s and Wenzlick’s research in the 1930s. (Both author’s publications are available for member viewing in the Member’s Publication’s section of the website.)

Our forecast for the expected peak in land values in 2026, therefore, remains consistent.

However, global events have created a cataclysm that is promising an end to this cycle that was hard to conceive, prior to the COVID mid-cycle panic.

When I mentioned last week that I would be conducting another interview with David Murrin, to discuss the situation in detail, members flooded me with questions.

I managed to get through quite a few of them.

Most questions from members were focused on how involvement in war would impact Australia.

Are we adequately defended?
Would young Australians face conscription into the army?

There were also the usual concerns regarding safe havens for investment as we approach the peak and beyond.

David has forecast war with China to commence as early as this year – 2024.

That’s a terrifying concept.

Whilst I do not totally align with all of David’s timings - especially in respect to the peak of the Commodity cycle (noting, however, that the land cycle exhibits three peaks at slightly different times - in stocks, land, and commodity markets.) His analysis is not rash.

David has conducted decades of research that considers both the timing of the land cycle (in this instance, the Kondratieff Wave, or K-Wave – i.e., 3 land cycles. 54-56 years.) and also the longer 112-year Hegemonic War Cycle.

As Kondratiev noted, in the upward swing of the wave years of prosperity are more numerous than during the downswing – the stage of his cycle that some refer to as Winter.

“Our investigation demonstrates that during the rise of the long waves years of prosperity are more numerous whereas years of depression predominate during the downswing..” (Kondratiev -The Long Waves in Economic Life)

This is where we’re heading. The winter years of the K-wave.

You need to be prepared.

In our interview we delve into the situation in detail.

It was conducted late at night Melbourne time, early afternoon UK time. That always makes these discussions, personally, rather challenging – and doesn’t lead to a very restful night’s sleep afterwards!

However, I hope you’ll gain from the discussion as much as I did.
