A COLLISON FOR THE AGES! Why no one is ready for this, and why that’s good news for you!

It promises to be an engaging and potentially violent collision between two seemingly unstoppable forces.

Not only that, it’s one that rarely happens even once in a lifetime. And it’s a subject that has motivated many of my recent newsletters to you.

I’m speaking about the expected peak then busts of not one but two extremely important cycles simultaneously. One is the 18.6-year Real Estate Cycle. The other is the 50–60-year long Kondratieff Wave/Long Cycle/commodity super cycle.

I have immersed myself in researching these cycles now for years. The more I dig, the more I come to realize just how widespread and important the ramifications of them are.

It has to be the biggest single macroeconomic event so far this century. However, knowledge of the land markets can give you an edge to correctly interpret the bigger picture.

Today, you shall find out why that is the case….in a surprising location.

You may not know it, but your future financial well-being may well depend on what happens….in the north and south poles, at the very edges of our planet!

Because every trait, behavior, and historic repetition associated with the chase and capture of windfall profits (economic rent) can now been seen in both poles.

And what happens here may well indicate the finality for both cycles. And what you can do to survive and thrive after both cycles conclude.

Intrigued? Then read on.

For now, the north and south poles remain some of the most pristine areas still left on earth. Their extremes in terms of weather, (un)habitability and distance allow such pristine conditions to thrive.

Normally the province of scientists and climate experts, certain remote but strategically critical sites in these parts of the world are now attracting a lot more attention.

Why? It’s simple. Both the Arctic and Antarctica possess two of the world’s most precious (and fought over) resources. Digital and black gold.

That is, digital (world’s fastest internet) and black (oil) gold.

The Svalbard Satellite Station (SvalSat) is a satellite ground station located near the north pole in Svalbard, Norway, and operated by Kongsberg Satellite Service (KSAT). SvalSat and KSAT’s Troll Satellite Station in Antarctica are the only ground stations that can see a low altitude polar orbiting satellite on every revolution as the Earth rotates.

These stations provide ground services to more satellites than any other facility in the world.

Therefore, they are both incredibly important to the world you and I work, live, and play in today. Notwithstanding the fact there are only two such stations on earth.

SvalSat in particular has only increased in importance since 2004 when undersea fibre optic cables were laid from it, connecting the island to Norway. This is now the home of the fastest internet cable on earth.

Many of the world’s biggest, and smallest, internet companies pay top dollar to use this facility.

Think now about what such infrastructure has done to the value of this once remote and hardly known island? See how the exclusive use of most of the world’s data derived from a myriad of satellites via these two stations constitutes a form of “economic rent”?

That is, the economic surplus that is gained above and beyond that which is required to generate an ongoing and profitable business venture. And explains why data is now considered as, if not more, valuable than oil.

And why the Arctic is now the land of this “digital gold.” GPS, satnav, and satellite-based Wi-Fi are only possible because most satellites connect to Earth through massive golf-ball-shaped geodesic domes that dot Svalbard’s landscape.

Home deliveries, Uber rides, internet surfing on your smartphone, military logistics, and data transmission for the economy and all the rest depend on the satellite ground stations that SvalSat manages there. It’s the umbilical cord to the global digital economy.

And I’ll bet almost none of you reading this had any idea about it. Frankly, I don’t believe most of the planet knows either, so you’d be in good company.

However, I’m sure you have heard the term “black gold”, a name given to oil. Well, if we travel now from the north pole to the south pole, we find news of a startling discovery made just a few months ago. Take a look at the following headline.

Given the context today, that statement seems ridiculous, doesn’t it? And yet, that is what’s occurred. One of Britain’s greatest peacetime infrastructure projects, drilling the North Sea for gas and oil, pales in comparison when compared to this find.

Discovered by a country the UK doesn’t get along with right now! The irony.

Apparently, the find would provide the entire globe with an extra 15 years of energy given current rates of consumption. It is one of the biggest finds in history.

Too bad it’s in the protected water off Antarctica, right?

Not if the K-wave has anything to say about it.

There is something lurking behind the scenes here, even if we are talking about parts of the world that are, well, “poles” apart.

That something is the final years of the current Kondratieff Wave, one where, should history repeat, sees global competition for scarce resources and wars of conquest undertaken to get them.

If you take the UK Ministry of Defense at its word, then ‘someone’ has actually perpetrated an act of war against NATO.

Now, the numerous backups installed after another earlier cut to cables back in 2021 ensured almost no-one noticed or was affected much. But it does explain why today there are rotations of both US and UK marines on Svalbard. The island is slowly being militarized.

No-one has been held to account for the incident, though early comments suggested it was not an accident. Since then, the verdict has changed to one of definitely involving ‘human interference’. Is there a European country who felt it was in their best interests to do this?

Then there is this huge oil discovery in Britain’s Antarctic claim area. Britain and other allied nations abide by the 1988 commercial protocol to the 1959 Antarctic Treaty, which prohibits seabed extraction there.

Other nations might be less likely to honour these mining bans and environmental priorities, especially as we near 2048, which is when three-quarters of the twenty-nine signatories can renegotiate the Antarctic mining ban.

China and Russia are busy trying to overturn the ban. Both are prospecting here, too. Russia and China are not alone. Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani recently said, “We have property rights there (in Antarctica), and they belong to the [Iranian] public.” “Our plan is to raise the flag there.”

Well, ok then?!

The Argentines are making renewed noises about challenging Britain’s claim to the Falkland Islands (again!) since Antarctica’s massive newly discovered oil beds extend into the surrounds of these islands.

These claims only accelerated when Britain began preparing twenty-three wells to extract oil from the Sea Lion oilfield, which lies north of the Falkland Islands and outside the banned areas.

Can you start to appreciate how the pressure globally is starting to ramp up. This is in fact classic late-stage K-wave behaviour.

I can’t even sit here in my Australian based office and point fingers either. Australia also has an Antarctic Claim.

It includes 42% of the continent and 6 million sq kilometres and is the largest by far of all the Antarctic Claims. Seven states in total have official claims on Antarctic territory. Other nations have no claim but do have various research facilities there, such as China, Pakistan, and Italy – to name but three.

However, there are other things present that are now luring these same nations to the South Pole: uranium, manganese, iron ore, and coal, in addition to oil and protein in the form of seafood. The value of all this black gold in Antarctica and digital gold in the Arctic is now indisputable.

Look at a map of the globe. Notice the proximity of both Britain and Australia to the north and south poles respectively. Is it that hard to imagine the absolute riches and cold hard currency available to both these countries “might” prompt a change of policy here?

Now, I don’t want to come across as an alarmist. I do, however, think very few people are acknowledging the set-up here. Nor how the dominoes are starting to line up or how they are likely to fall.

But it is time now for you to use hindsight to develop your foresight. I’ve no idea what is going to happen tomorrow, nor can I say with certainty what happens when two important cycles reach their respective peaks in such close proximity to each other.

But what I can say is this. My knowledge of the 18.6-year Real Estate Cycle, its history, and why it continues to repeat like clockwork for over 200 years now, provides that critical perspective and clarity across most of what I see in the world today.

There are wars, current and new, brewing up everywhere today. Perhaps what I’ve covered will be yet another sad example of this trend continuing to grow?

Argentina’s Foreign Minister has already vowed to “recover full sovereignty” over the Falkland Islands, while Britain insists its position on sovereignty of those islands is “unwavering.” Do you think both sides are joking? Will both countries fight again over these remote islands? Even more important is this.

This entire exercise here simply demonstrates to you “why” we have a real estate cycle. Real estate cycles are driven by chasing economic rent – windfall profits. You and I will mostly see it in rising house (really, land) prices.

In the wider world, it can been in the chase for commodities and locations that are the gates to the digital world. The behaviour is no different. People and nations do whatever it takes to grab the unearned natural economic rent of the earth and keep it for themselves.

The UK and Australia have specific yet relatable economic issues which are now systemic. These cannot be overcome by their respective governments, nor is there political will or appetite to look facts square in the face and take the hard decisions necessary to fix them.

If these nations lead us all to war to secure these resources, will the cost in human lives and national treasure really be worth it when the dollar value of these commodities falls through the floor at the conclusion of both cycles?

We are entering troubling times. And I want nothing more than for you to have the chance to both profit and protect you and your family’s wealth and health for the remainder of this decade.

The cycles I speak of today are unknown to world leaders. The chase they seem insistent on leading their respective nations down will lead to ruin. You can’t trust such people, but you can trust our research.
