MARTIN ARMSTRONG: The fall occurs when the conflict shifts from “how should we govern?” to “who are we as a people?” and is fought with tools outside the established republican framework.

Thank you to Martin Armstrong's "Why Republics Will Collapse," October 28, 2025.

Political disagreement shifts from policy-based to identity-based. It’s no longer “I disagree with your plan for the economy” but “You and your kind are a threat to the nation itself.” --Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, you have said many times that we are in a phase in which this time it will be the fall of republics, whereas the last time it was monarchy. Could you comment on this? It seems that the Democrats in this shutdown want billions for their illegal aliens while they hurt American citizens. Is this the type of polarization who have been warned about, which brings the house of cards crashing down?

ANSWER: Historically, the intense division between fundamental political factions is not just a symptom of a republic in trouble, but the very disease that always kills it. The fall occurs when the conflict shifts from “how should we govern?” to “who are we as a people?” and is fought with tools outside the established republican framework.

Intense polarization is the warning sign. Political disagreement shifts from policy-based to identity-based. It’s no longer “I disagree with your plan for the economy” but “You and your kind are a threat to the nation itself.” The political opponent becomes an enemy. We are witnessing polarization within republics in the US, Canada, and Europe, to name just a few.

The Democrats see Trump as the “enemy” and constantly claim this is a crisis in democracy because it is not their way alone. We have crossed the Rubicon, and there is now no going back. This shutdown is the confirmation of the decline and fall of the United States, as well as all the rest. I warned at the last WEC in 2024 that the Democratic Party would split, and it is in its collapsing phase.

The Optimates faction of Senators who crowned themselves with the title boni  (“the good men”), like a judge who demands to be “honorable” without earning that title, was led by Cato, who was a ruthless power-monger. They were deeply corrupt in their abuse of political norms. They used procedural obstructions, filibusters, and religious technicalities (omens) to block legislation and appointments they disliked, making the normal political process unworkable for anyone outside their clique.

When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 BC, the people cheered, and the cities opened their gates. He did NOT fight his way to Rome. The Senate fled because they had no popular support, any more than our Congress does today. History repeats because human nature never changes.

CATHERINE AUSTIN FITTS: Diversity is used as a way of pushing out the Patriots

Catherine Austin Fitts is warning of the very same thing...https://t.co/ZhiazqCafz

So you know my big concern is the Republicans are now going to be used to market the control grid to conservatives and I think my message looking at what's been happening is we have to double down on our efforts to stop the control grid so if somebody tells you that we need Biometrics for digital ID to deal with election fraud or the Border don't believe them don't believe it it's a marketing job for conservatives.  Any comments on any of those meetings?

00:33, POLLY TOMMEY. Can you just expand on that Catherine I'm at Biometrics just explain that to our people a little bit more thoroughly. 

00:41. AUSTIN FITTS. So if I want to go to an all-digital financial system, which is where I get the power . . . I mean what we're looking at is a coup d'etat, and the coup d'etat is changing control of fiscal policy and the legislative and executive branches from representing the people to being controllable by the bankers.  What an all-digital financial system allows the bankers to do is run all of that fiscal policy and all of the legislative policies through the financial system so the bankers . . .  literally, it's a coup of the bankers to take control of the whole government instead of the banking half.  So traditionally we've had the people's representatives in the legislative branch and the executive branch and then we've had the bankers run the monetary policy.  Now, the people who run their monetary policy, you know, grossly oversimplified, can take over the rest.  

It's exactly what we saw in that great video of Carstens from the Bank of International Settlements, saying, "You know, we can make the rules centrally and we can enforce the rules centrally and that includes taxation without representation."  And so the question is how can you sell this?  Chairman Powell has said he needs legislative, new legislation, and legislative authority to do that, and, of course, you need a way of selling conservatives on, you know, I hate to say this, giving up their 1st Amendment rights, giving up their 2nd Amendment rights, giving up their guns or having gun control radically increased.  But most of all, they need to be sold on digital IDs and biometrics, and, you know, what Trump and that group is really good at doing it and saying is "Oh, we have to stop immigration on the border, so everybody needs an ID so we can stop [the inflows].  We can send the immigrants home and stop immigration."  That's number one.  You know, or "We need more surveillance and more control and that includes the digital IDs and election fraud."  So there is a real push to get conservatives to buy into the control model, you know, for different reasons that are used in different sorts of marketing to people of different political persuasions.  And what we're seeing you know and I'm just reading between the lines of the RNC, we're using all sorts, it's really beautiful, seeing diversity used as a way of pushing out the Patriots.  And there's a real effort now, I think, you've seen a lot of factions coalesce around a Republican sweep of both Congress and the presidency, and on that sweep they would love to push through the control grid.  

20-27% of tabulators didn’t work on Election Day when, historically, most Republicans vote in person.

Here you have Bill Gates, Chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, normalizing 25% malfunction of tabulators.  Nothing normal about that.  Sounds innocent enough until you learn that "historically, most Republicans vote in person." 

The AZ election is the laughing stock of the World. 20-27% of tabulators didn’t work on Election Day when, historically, most Republicans vote in person. Unacceptable. We should be calling for resignations!

If the Republicans takeover during the midterm elections, expect Dr. Anthony Fauci to face a trial

Thank you to Martin Armstrong.

Fauci plans to retire as soon as Biden leaves office as he knows he will no longer be protected. He mistakenly believes that he is above the law and will not be prosecuted for his crimes against humanity. Rand Paul, Fauci’s longtime foe, made it very clear that Republicans will subpoena Fauci if they take back the House or the Senate. Paul is not afraid to come off as a “conspiracy theorist” and plainly stated he wanted to know if there was a cover-up involved.

Paul said while speaking to Fox News:

“I do fully believe this virus, this pandemic that killed 6 million people around the world, leaked from the lab. But I think there was a concerted effort by him and his colleagues to cover this up and make sure it didn’t come to light, that the NIH was funding that lab and that there was reasonable scientific evidence that suggests that it came from the lab. So he’s going to be made to testify under oath. And I hope he sticks around because we do have some questions.”

Paul is not alone in his desire to investigate Fauci. Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) vowed to prosecute Fauci if the House gains control during the midterm elections. “We want to prosecute this guy to the full ability of the law. And I’ll tell you, to lie to the American people just to get your name in the news, just to get your face on the cover of books, just to get fame and fortune. I’ll tell you, Dr. Anthony Fauci does not deserve either fame or fortune,” he continued.  Cawthorn also accused Fauci of being a “pawn of the Chinese Communist Party” and lying under oath about his knowledge on gain-of-function research.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced the "Fire Fauci Act" in April 2021 which brings to light many valid questions. Why is Dr. Fauci the highest-paid government employee, surpassing even the income of the president? How much did he profit from the pandemic? Why did he claim herd immunity would require up to 85% of the population to be vaccinated when there is no proof or study to support this idea?

If the Republicans takeover during the midterm elections, expect Dr. Anthony Fauci to face a trial. The public at large will then learn the lies being pushed as science and will realize that the entire pandemic was a manufactured event. This will lead to civil unrest on a widescale spanning far beyond America.
