Daniel Estulin's thesis is that behind the financial cataclysm lies a web of common interests that seeks the destruction of nation-states in order to control world demography.
There are just over 7 billion people on the planet today. The Earth is a small planet with limited natural resources and facing an unprecedented population explosion.
Therefore, from the elite's point of view, if you want to control food and water resources, it is imperative to reduce the world's population to 'manageable' proportions. Seven billion people today, double that in just a few decades, is too many mouths to feed.
The Club of Rome is the most active global institution in favour of the Malthusian depopulation thesis. The Club published The Limits to Growth in 1972, which shows that the planet will run out of resources within 40 years. For humanity to survive, it is therefore imperative to question our lifestyle and to regulate the world population, thus reducing it by all means.
This is what, according to Estulin, the Empire is doing (the Empire refers to a system of control of the world economy operated through an international monetary system in the hands of large international banks). Globalisation, an avatar of Empire, is synonymous with the elimination of the nation state; the eradication of freedom; the elimination of all rights.
However, before we can reduce the population and control the herd, it is imperative to destroy the economy and demand. Perhaps you are wondering why the Empire is so keen to destroy demand? Already controlling over 98% of the world's wealth, wouldn't the Empire suffer financially from this destruction? Their main concern at this time in history is to ensure the survival of their species. And let's say it once again, for them to survive in these coming times of natural resource scarcity, a large proportion of us must perish.
