October 31, 2019 | A House Divided Cannot Stand

Martin Armstrong

Martin Arthur Armstrong is the former chairman of Princeton Economics International Ltd. He is best known for his economic predictions based on the Economic Confidence Model, which he developed.

QUESTION: The Bible says a house divided will not stand. America is very divided more than I can remember in our history. Is there another time when this as happened in America. How will this play out?

S

ANSWER: The last time the country was this divided was the American Civil War. The problem this time is a confrontation between the right to be left alone and those who cannot sleep at night because they worry about what other people are doing. From a cyclical perspective, this is most likely going to erupt into violence, which may be extreme in 2024. That lines up with the presidential election that year. There will definitely be blood in the streets because the philosophies are not confined to a particular region. There are left and right political beliefs everywhere. So it may divide along the lines of the predominant philosophy such as the left in California. The probability that California will move to split could materialize in 2021/2024 especially if Trump were to be reelected.

We have a lot of tension rising from 2021 to 2024 overall. This will be very interesting to watch.
