QUESTION:
Sir,
Pondering the patterns that you have found in history, I have been mulling over the crossroads that lie in front of us in the next few years. You noted that sovereign debt crises occur about every 86 years or so. You also noted that civil disturbance goes hand in hand with those events. You also noted that it cycles between government/public to private and private to government/public. Am I understanding correctly that the civil disturbance that occurs when it flips between government/public to private is more intense than when it flips from private to government/public?
Thanks for all you do and see you in Nov
DK
ANSWER: Yes. This is because government is a single entity. They will fight against the people to retain power. Make no mistake about it, government will always massacre the people to retain power. All such events in history unfold when the people seek to overturn tyranny. However, there are rebellions even during a Public Wave but these tend to be continuations of a grievance from the previous wave. There were 69 years between the two big English tax rebellions of 1381 and 1450. They do tend to be more intense during Private Waves. You will notice that in a Private Wave then tend to come early whereas in a Public wave then come late and typically spill over. This is because the rebellion aspect is really a separate function of the War Cycle. Therefore, it is an overlap that produces the intensity. Currently, that turned up in 2014.
Political wisdom over the centuries was purchased with the blood and bitter experience of generations upon generations. In England when the King had no right to tax the people. They had to consent and that was the reason to call Parliament to consent to taxation. The first tax revolt was the Wat Tyler’s Rebellion, also known as the Peasants’ Revolt, was a tax rebellion following the Black Death as a result of high taxes to fund the war against France (Hundred Years War). This took place beginning in May and ended in a massacre by November, 1381. Then there was William (Jack) Cade (? – 7/12/1450) who led a tax rebellion which took place in May 1450 which was the subject of Shakespeare’s play of Henry VI in which he wrote his famous passage: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” (King Henry VI, part II, Act IV, Scene 2, Line 72). The lawyers were not “lawyers” as we see them today. The king was the only person allowed to have a lawyer, so they were really prosecutors taking people’s property and imprisoning them for profit.
In France, there was the French Revolution in 1792 over taxation, but there was also a rebellion in 1851. But the first tax rebellion in France was when King John was captured by the English in September 1356. King John was transported to London in April 1357. He was compelled to surrender most of southern France to the English. On October 9th, 1360, John was released to raise the balance of the ransom, while hostages took his place that included his own son. When John’s son escaped, John had little choice and returned to England as a prisoner on his own volition where he died.
In 1358, we find the first tax uprising known as “Jacquerie” because the nobility had called all peasants “Jacque” and the demands for taxes were now outrageous. Taxes were even demanded to rebuild castles of the nobility. The English had plundered the country and these demands led finally to a uprising on May 21st, 1358. The peasants destroyed numerous castles in response and indeed massacred all inhabitants. With the King captured, confusion reigned and the nation was plunged into civil war. The peasants were eventually defeated and they were themselves massacred.
Even in China, the minister Chao Cuo (? – 154BC) under the previous emperor Ching-ti (Liu Ch’i)(157-141BC), earned the hatred of other ministers after he introduced 30 new laws. The outrage was so intense; he was dragged out and executed in his judicial robes in the town marketplace. The abuse of the rule of law knows no bounds. When Edward I (1272-1307) returned to England in 1289, he was confronted by corrupt judges who had been bribed by special interests and dismissed them summarily. Then in 1290, Edward I seized all the property of the Jews and expelled them from England. Kings, dictators, and professional political classes, have always exploited the rule of law for their personal gain.
Massacres of the people in a revolt against government exist throughout history. We should expect our modern governments will act in the very same manner. They are right now arming themselves and they have converted the police forces into military domestic units.
ANSWER: Yes. Please note. This is a radical proposal that sees the “European Project” (EU) with one government and the annihilation of individual state identity as the end goal from the very outset.
Now the concern rising is that Putin has the evidence. Instead of releasing it all, He has just let them know he has the goods. That means Putin can now control Hillary and Obama. The fact that Putin has Hillary’s emails may be the reason he suddenly pulled out of Syria for he does not need the confrontation. He can topple Hillary at any time. Vladimir Putin’s announcement that Russia will begin pulling out of Syria appeared to take the White House totally by surprise, and revived concerns that the Russian leader was outmaneuvering Barack Obama. The reason may center around Hillary’s emails.
