The Great Separatist Movement | Armstrong Economics

I just returned from Canada, where I spoke in Calgary and in Vancouver. I found the support for Alberta separation rising rapidly. There is no doubt that Alberta will separate. The only question is how and when. I explained that while this may be an emotional issue in Canada, it is part of the GLOBAL SEPARATION TREND! This is simply a part of the reality behind the rise and fall of all nation-states. It is primarily driven by the age-old problem that centralized governments, once established, constantly seek to expand their power. Since Marxism, they have gone into socialism under the pretense that they care about you, but in fact, it is always about expanding their power.

The 177,000-signature threshold has now been passed. This has now officially cleared the requirement for an Alberta independence referendum on October 19th. As I said, given the model’s forecast from May through September, rising global tensions will increase the potential for Alberta to vote for separation during the October elections.

Here are the conservative GDP growth estimates for 2025. The greater the regulation, the lower the economic growth. This is what is the driver behind the rising separatist movements. Throw in the politics of rising LEFTIST-WOKE agendas, and this increases the pressure on separation. Then add in the migration issue, which has been driven to a large extent by the LEFT seeking to dilute the population with migrants who will always vote for free handouts, further reducing productivity and freedom.

I have stated that I had a mandate from Hong Kong to negotiate with Australia to buy back an island in the 1990s, since Hong Kong was to be handed back to China in 1998. I met with then Prime Minister Paul Keating, and no matter what I said, he would not allow the people of Hong Kong to migrate to Australia. I finally asked bluntly if this was racist. He said no, but if they allowed them to enter Australia, they would vote Conservative, and he was a Labour government.

Here we have Angela Merkel, who has also just ADMITTED that she deliberately flooded Germany with third-world migrants to “stop the far right.” It was demographic warfare. It is outright TREASON that seeks to engage in economic warfare to alter the very culture of a country, all to retain power. Merkel stands as a traitor to all of Europe, demonstrating this by rejecting the people’s right to vote on her policy of opening the borders unilaterally, where the European people were never given the right to be heard on immigration, and they were lied to about the very purpose of allowing massive immigration without language or skills.

Joe Biden adopted the very same policy I wrote about before, which allowed all of the migrants to flood the United States, and now you have the Democrats led by Chuck claiming that minorities are too stupid to have an ID, so requiring ID will deprive them of the right to vote. This is pure TREASON, so the LEFT can suppress and subject those who want freedom and produce all so they can impose their Marxist agendas, no matter how many times they have always failed.

Chuck Schumer is also protecting non-Americans to retain power, and his insulting remarks that minorities are too stupid to have IDs when you cannot get anything, even food stamps, without an ID, let alone travel or drive, demonstrate that he does not care about the country or Americans. This is all about suppressing the RIGHT just as Merkel has publicly admitted. They want people to be economic slaves dependent on free handouts, all to retain personal power. It appears that Schumer’s career is going to end in destroying his reputation and legacy.

The stats are in, revealing that Biden has flooded the nation with over 6.4 million illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S., bringing the total to 13.7 million that the government must support. They are bankrupting cities, raising crime like never before, since countries are emptying their prisons and shipping them to Bidenville. The number of recorded immigrants flowing through the border is about 172,000 per month, and that does not count those whom Biden has been secretly flying in to hide the actual NUMBER.

The true crisis is that the Democrats are allowing these people in to change the politics of this country because their policies have been unpopular and are as destructive as Communism once was to China and Russia. These new arrivals are less educated and lack skills other than raw manual labor. In 2018, 55% of immigrants had a bachelor’s degree. You will not find that among the flood of illegals today. Today, nearly 50% lack any high school training. Aside from their limited English skills, they are certainly not equipped for the new age of computers.  The scuttlebutt in Marxville (Washington, DC) is that the majority of these illegal immigrants are male, approaching 55%.

Trump continues to escalate pressure on U.S. allies and Iran, having recently claimed that Tehran’s new leadership had privately requested a ceasefire. He has warned that American trikes would continue until the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened.

Civilian death tolls in the conflict continue to rise, with at least 1,598 in Iran, 1,2600 in Lebanon, and at least 50 across Gulf nations. Israel has reported at least 17 killed, and the U.S. death toll stands at 13 service members.

A recent poll by Quantus Insights indicates that 74% of registered US voters believe photo ID should be required by law to vote. Nearly half (49.3%) “strongly support” the measure, while only 16% stated they “strongly” or “somewhat” oppose such legislation.

This is a war against those who actually produce all for personal power. This is what is behind the separation trend we are witnessing everywhere, from the Middle East and Europe to Canada and the United States.
