Switzerland’s Population Surpasses 9 Million

For the first time in modern history, Switzerland’s population has surpassed the 9 million mark. We’ve seen the same phenomenon happen throughout the West. Populations are rapidly growing despite low birth rates, all due to immigration.

Over 27% of Switzerland’s population is now composed of migrants, with immigration increasing by 11.7% in 2023. Foreigners in Switzerland composed a mere 10% of the population a decade ago. Switzerland has not seen such a drastic uptick in immigrants since the end of the Second World War when Italian and German immigrants sought to flee their war-torn countries. Under European Union guidelines, Switzerland first opened its borders to foreigners in 2002. The People’s Party unsuccessfully attempted to curtail newcomers in 2014. Then the EU stepped in and forced all member states to adopt open border policies. Now, workers from the European Free Trade Association composed 72% of all new arrivals in 2023.

In 2022, data revealed that 40% of permanent residents were migrants (nearly 3 million people), but a third did have some Swiss nationality. Around 52,000 instances of illegal immigration was on record for 2022, but of no surprise the majority of illegal migrants are nowhere to be found within the data. The number of foreigners have been steadily increasing year after year, with immigration rising 14.8% from 2021 to 2022. Switzerland has seen people entering its borders from both the Balkan route and Mediterranean crossings.

There is a steep cost associated with a boom in the population. No one dares to question how this drastic change in the population will change society itself as many of these newcomers do not share the same traditions and values as the native Swiss population.

Whites in America are Doomed by 2045, Abortion Rules, & Western Culture Declines

US Population Whites 9 20 24

QUESTION #1: Is it true that Socrates has projected that the White population will be the minority by 2045?

Eric

COMMENT #1: Why do Democrats hate children and promote abortion, always claiming incest and rape when all the statistics show rape accounts for just 1% of abortions and incest is 0.5% of abortions? Then they open the borders and flood in all of these people while promoting killing our children. This makes no sense.

DK

US_population Percent Change 2011 2022

ANSWER: Yes. What Biden did by opening the border may have stacked the debt for the Democrats to retain power, but at what cost? They have not only ensured that the White Population will become the minority by 2045, but they have set in motion the collapse of the United States. The Democratic socialist policies of always taxing those who work to hand to the votes which they bribe to retain power have sealed the demise of the United States, the same way Communism collapsed in 1989. Unfortunately, this is the trend, and we should better prepare for the separation of the United States, for it will be impossible to reverse this trend for the forecast.

Thatcher Socialism

I do not care what the socialists say; this system is no more sustainable than communism. As Margaret Thatch warned, socialism reaches that point when you run out of other peoples’ money. This is WHY the United States will break up into at least three regions. There is no way these economic policies will survive. The odds are on my side. No a single city-state, nation, or empire has every beaten that forecast.

2009 Ginsberg Eugenics

In contrast, Democrats seem to hate children, for they are always championing abortion and have called it a Woman’s right when Justice Ginsberg, who was a woman’s activist, said it was all about reducing the population – not women’s rights. I do not have an answer to this puzzling question. They seem to hate babies and live immigrants. This is perplexing.

Abortion_Rape_and_incest

Even when I look at the article you sent, it is dated 2019. The press seems to avoid this topic that only 1% of women obtain an abortion because they became pregnant through rape, and less than 0.5% do so because of incest, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Yet the battle over exceptions for both has garnered seized attention in the national abortion debate. ABC News appears to have deliberately lied about ABORTION during the debate. Why? Disney hates babies, too? Planned Parenthood takes $1.9 million of taxpayer funding to abort over 1,000 babies every day. Why does Kamala want to expand abortion and make it a federally funded procedure, killing Americans while letting in millions of aliens? Hello, at this rate not only will white Americans become the minority, but Americans in general are being marginalized long-term all for personal power.

I do not know of anyone who is pro-life who would object to an abortion in rape or incest. Yet these things are thrown down our throats as if they are the entire reason for ABORTION when they are rarely encountered. I had an assistant many years ago who was pregnant and had an abortion when she was young and ended up not being able to have children after that. I had another assistant who was married and ended up divorced because she was told that she could not have children. She ended up pregnant from a one-night sand and did not know where the father went. Because of society, she thought she should have an abortion and I talked her out of it that society does not matter, she always want a child and did. I raised my two kids alone, which was why she confided in me.

US Population Growth 1950 2024
Population Growth 1950 2022

Some have argued that flooding Europe and America with aliens is also because our pension system is based on Ponzi schemes. In other words, the assumption that the next generation will always be larger than the previous, and thus taxing the next generation to pay for the previous was the model. But when the birthrate collapses, the entire pension scheme will crumble. So they have let these people in for tax purposes; others say they need them because of their intentions to invade Russia, but at the end of the day, their culture is at odds with our own, and that means that these actions will ensure the decline and fall of Western culture and the Financial Capital of the World will indeed move to China posted 2032.

Augustus Plaque ITALIAN_Reggio_Emilia_._ca_1550_15

This whole thing about abortion is nothing more than the Gates/Rockefeller agenda of reducing the world’s population. Nothing is investigated dispassionately, and the population has always been rising and falling. In fact, the birth rate always declines with economic prosperity. That’s why the first Roman Emperor Augustus (27BC-14AD) instituted his famous family laws and punished bachelors for not getting married. You were prejudiced from rising politically if you did not have children. That was the reaction to the declining birth rate in Roman History. If these people would study history, they would see there is a cycle to everything and nothing is new.

Augustus and daughter Julia Denarius

Augustus even banished his own daughter Julia for her promiscuity.

The history of birth control pre-Christianity was very different, for abortion had none of the stigma in most cultures. There are even surviving documents from ancient Egypt concerning birth control and abortion. The Ebers Papyrus from 1550 BC describes the use of honey, acacia leaves, and lint to be placed in the vagina to block sperm. The Kahun Papyrus from 1850BC described birth control methods using contraceptive devices and the use of acacia gum, which has confirmed spermatocide qualities and today is still used in contraceptive jellies.

Biden Harris Inflation Continues Crushing Middle Class – Only Donald Trump Has the Policies to Stop it


Posted originally on the CTH on September 22, 2024 | Sundance 

If there is one economic dynamic we have talked about on these pages more than the rest, its inflation.  {Background}

The root causes of inflation are two-fold, monetary policy and energy policy.  However, when combined they represent a predictable outcome.  Specifically predictable, when it comes to highly consumable goods that require a lot of industrial effort, labor, distribution and warehousing processes.  Thus, food inflation was/is worst.

Within all of the sectors most vulnerable to upward price pressure as a result of policy (monetary and energy), the main industry impacted by immediate and severe inflation is food, farming and agriculture.  Food, a highly consumable product with a thin supply chain, sees the results of inflation first and fastest.  Durable good inflation lags behind high-velocity consumable goods.

It was with this understanding CTH first warned in 2020 of what would happen coming out of the COVID Pandemic economic crisis.  We predicted and watched in 2020 as one-third of all food supplies were destroyed because 50% of the food supply chain (restaurants, cafeterias, schools, food trucks, essentially food away from home) was shuttered.

In the middle and latter part of 2020, the retail food supply chain (grocery stores), normally representing 50% of total caloric consumption, struggled to keep pace with massively increased demand on that side of the food supply.  The agricultural supply chain was completely screwed up in the USA when half of the normal food distribution (wholesale food away from home) was blocked from their business model.   The resulting impacts were entirely predictable for those who did not pretend.  We warned, and it happened exactly as we anticipated.

Then, making the predictive nature of food pricing more obvious, we watched as the Build Back Better or Green New Deal was thrust upon the entire western world dynamic.  This BBB/GND energy policy shift intentionally and purposefully exploded the cost of manufacturing and distributing food.  With massive and immediate increases in energy prices, the price of food skyrocketed quickly; because the impacts are fast in this sector.

Over the next several years the prices of food continued going up as the increased energy cost embedded within the agriculture sector.  Nothing about the price of food, or the ancillary processes within the industry, will change unless and until energy costs retreat.   In essence, with higher energy costs, food prices stay high; they are directly connected.

No other facet to food inflation is more substantial than the cost of energy to produce the product.  Farming and agriculture are energy dependent from fertilizer to farming equipment, fuel, processing, packaging, transportation, warehousing, storage, climate controls in distribution etc, everything is dependent on energy pricing.

High energy costs are why food prices (inflation) would always stay high, regardless of what happens in other sectors.  CTH talked about this at length long before the impacts came over the horizon.  We talked about preparing our families to offset this issue, but there is only so much you can do.

We are all currently feeling the intense increase in prices at the market, grocery store and supermarket, and the worst aspect to this dynamic is the reality that as long as energy prices remain high, food prices will never drop.  [NOTE: There is a smaller supply/demand impact; however, with most of the USA agricultural sector exporting food products (multinational corporations ie. Big Ag) the domestic USA supply is subject to globalized pricing.]

Bottom line.  As long as energy prices remain high, food prices will remain high.

The “great reset” per se’, was not a process that began after the pandemic. The pandemic was the beginning, ushering in the “great reset” by being the starting point of the mostly western, global energy shift.

Into this dynamic there is good news, one voice has clear eyes on the problem, and as a consequence, answers. President Donald Trump understands the nature of how the current price pressures that are crushing the middle-class can be reversed and removed. WATCH:

.

Many people have written with appreciation for the CTH forecasts delivered in the fall of 2021.  I am thankful to have been of benefit to those who could take proactive measures to avoid the economic issues we faced in 2022 and beyond.  However, that financial pain has not subsided.   There’s only so much a person/family can do to offset rising energy costs.

I know just about every reader on these pages can relate to how financial fear can eat at you from the inside.  The life game of trying to figure out how to get from one week to the next, keep a roof over your head and keep the kids/grandkids safe and fed is fraught with trepidation.  I get it. Believe me, I get it….  But you just gotta keep going; whatever it takes.

Our heels are over the cliff, it’s already rough for most working families and people on fixed incomes.  We need MAGAnomics more now than any other moments in our lifetime.  This is why I was saying in 2023 we needed to focus at home; keep building that bunker safe and secure.

Then look to help/assist the neighbors, then the community, etc.  But start by being proactive at home and do not isolate.  Fear, worry, trepidation, foreboding etc, is worse when internalized.  Do not swallow it – reach out to a loving God, pray, release it, and then embrace the central purpose in life, fellowship.

Be patient, be respectful, be kind and caring. Don’t look for trouble. But when the time comes to fight, drop the niceties and fight for your family with insane ferocity.

HUD Explores Cash over Housing Vouchers


using Vouchers

Posted originally on Sep 20, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

socialism.meme_

The Department of Housing and Urban Development is toying with the idea of providing American renters cash aid instead of vouchers. Current vouchers only demand that tenants pay 30% of their income on rent, while the US taxpayers foot the rest of the bill. The department says it is still too difficult for would-be tenants to use these vouchers and would like to provide them with cash to use as they see fit.

Pilot programs are appearing across America. Philadelphia swapped out vouchers with cash for 300 renters across the city. Since the government is incapable of efficiently running these smaller programs, the waitlist for housing vouchers in Philadelphia overwhelmed the city to the point that it was shut down for a decade. Those in the pilot program earn under 50% of the local median income with a child under the age of 15. Not only is their portion of rent reduced to 30% of income, but the government has provided them with debit cards to cover the additional portion of rent. Technically, they can spend it however they see fit.

Housing development agencies say cash is preferable to vouchers as landlords bypass discrimination laws and are more likely to reject potential tenants who use government vouchers. If someone has a business, does it not make more sense that they would be hesitant to partner with someone who they know cannot pay? Advocates believe “red tape” items like unit inspections are causing delays. Advocates also insist that providing cash will directly will help these people move to safer neighborhoods, neighborhoods where the residents work and pay their share of taxes into the system. These people insist that everything should be done to provide for those who remain underemployed or underemployed without addressing the root problem.

Over 2 million Americans currently receive housing vouchers funded by taxpayers who are already struggling to house themselves, and over 12.9% of Americans receive some form of government assistance. Housing debt far surpasses any other for the majority of US households. That 2 million figure DOES NOT account for the 11+ illegal migrants and counting who the American taxpayers must also shelter. The US government is overtly incentivizing people NOT to work at this point. Why work a low-skill job when you can sit back and collect far more than you would from a paycheck? Why work toward a higher-paying career when you’re being handed cash with no strings attached? Why believe in the union of marriage when you’re paid more to have children out of wedlock? There is no emphasis on personal financial responsibility in the current system, as socialism relies on everyone sharing the burden of poverty.

Harris Admits She Does Not Respect the Second Amendment


Posted originally on Sep 20, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

They say it’s a conspiracy or exaggeration at best to claim the Democrats want to decimate the Second Amendment. The left talking points claim that they merely want to curtail access to guns, but resurface interviews prove that is simply not the case. Kamala Harris admitted that she believes authorities should have access to citizen’s private residences to “check to see if they’re being responsible” with firearms.

Second Amendment

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Fourth Amendment

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Unconstitutional

Encoded in the United States Constitution is the ability to bear arms. Our Bill of Rights clearly dictates that the government may not infringe upon our rights as American citizens to bear arms. Elsewhere, the Constitution forbids illegal searches and seizures. Yet, this is precisely what we could expect under a Harris presidency.

“We’re going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible,” Harris once said in 2007 when acting as district attorney of San Francisco.

Did she not attend law school? Harris claims she herself owns a fire arm, but per usual, rules for thee and not for me. Even far-left Governor Newsom called these measures extremes. “We’re not going to knock on everybody’s door, we’re not going to break in and inspect,” Newsom once said when questioned about gun regulation. Harris disagreed and said that these extreme measures would benefit the government in encouraging “certain types of behavior.” ‘When we create laws, it’s not only about creating an opportunity, if you will, to prosecute someone for committing a crime, but more importantly, when we legislate our values, it’s about trying to encourage certain types of behavior,” she said.

Harris does not respect American freedoms provided by the Constitution. Straight from the horse’s mouth, Harris believes LEGAL gun owners should live in fear of Big Brother barging in their home at any moment, violating both the Second and Fourth Amendments. She does not respect the First Amendment for free speech and likely will tie in “misinformation” with those “shared values” that permit the government to determine who may and may not defend themselves.

Australia Prioritizing the Creation of a Wholesale CBDC


Posted Sep 19, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |  

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is rapidly developing a wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) as developed nations move toward a cashless society. RBA Assistant Governor Brad Jones announced that the bank is launching Project Acacia next month, with the goal of developing a wholesale CBDC within the next three years.

The first form of this digital currency is not yet intended for retail, but extensive research has gone into determining how Australia can transition away from hard currency. Last year, the central bank partnered with the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Center (DFCRC) to determine the best methods to begin transitioning away from the Australian dollar, with reports last stating “a CBDC could be viewed more as an enabling complement to, rather than substitute for, private sector innovation.” The program studied corporate bond settlements by the Australian Bonds Exchange, tokenized FX settlements, as well as offline payments from ANZ bank. The pilot program was met with some difficulties, but the central bank is now committed to uncovering the proper method prior to deployment. “Some uncertainties related to the bespoke nature of the pilot CBDC itself. For instance, the pilot CBDC was issued as a contractual liability of the RBA rather than under a legislative framework, as would likely be the case if a decision was ever made to issue a CBDC in the future,” the report added.

Jones indicated that industry forums will begin in 2025 to discover methods for deploying both wholesale and retail methods. “We have benefited significantly from engagement with industry and the academic community on various CBDC issues over recent years, and we now seek to put more structure around this dialogue,” he said. “These forums would play a similar role to those the RBA has convened in recent years with economists from industry and academia, to hear different views on monetary policy issues.”

For now, wholesale CBDC and tokenized commercial bank deposits are the priority. Jones called recent developments “revolutionary,” as they very well will change our monetary system. About 98% of the global economy, or 134 countries, are exploring methods to launch CBDCs successfully. The Australian Government will be the final decision-maker on the matter, and rest assured all governments are eager to implement an effective digital currency as soon as possible as they believe they will see a large uptick in taxation as no “money” can find its way off the grid under this system. Some of my sources say that governments believe they can increase taxation by up to 35% under a cashless society. “If cash usage continues to decline, it has been suggested in some jurisdictions that a retail CBDC may be needed to preserve monetary sovereignty,” Jones further stated.

Supplemental Poverty Measure on the Rise


Posted originally on Sep 19, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

poverty

The latest Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) found that at 12.9% of American households currently rely on government assistance, up from 12.4% one year prior. The figure was at 11.8% in 2019 and has risen every year under Biden-Harris. The data only factors in US households and not the tens of millions of illegal aliens who also rely on US government handouts.

Around 42.8 million Americans were in poverty in 2023, up from pre-pandemic levels of 38.3 million. We saw poverty levels decreased during 2020 and 2021 when the US government was providing nearly everyone with some sort of assistance to combat wages lost from COVID lockdowns. Those measures simply contributed to inflation and made it harder for those in poverty to move on without government aid.

The SPM factors in tax credits, noncash benefits, social insurance, and market income minus nontax expenses. If only factoring in market income net of necessary expenses, the number of Americans in poverty swiftly rises to 77.8 million. Social insurance programs are now factored into these resources so the data has declined by 28 million, and the addition of SNAP and noncash benefits reduced the figure by another 6.6 million. This certainly does not mean there are less impoverished people living in the wealthiest nation in the world.

Data can be manipulated easily to portray a strong economy. Simply put, more Americans have fallen into economic decline in recent years under Bidenomics. The data would be unbelievable if they actually took into account the migrants who are also living on government aid, and receiving more in aid than Americans citizens who paid into the system.
