Martin Capital founder and CEO Rod Martin discusses the purge in China and what it may mean for war with Taiwan, Trump's Davos dominance, plus big moves in Ukraine, Iran, and Canada.
👏👏👏 An outstanding job by you Dr. Martin on Fox Business! Excellent commentary that couldn’t be more true! As far as Davos is concerned, Donald Trump won hands down. He gave a historic speech that the mainstream media complained about and called racist but didn’t bother to actually quote what he said. You had to go to the White House’s website to read his actual speech. In the speech he said something that is undeniably true, that European countries are destroying themselves by allowing the mass migration of people from the third world who are culturally incompatible. That’s not being racist or ethnocentric, it’s just true. This is why quietly and gradually there has been a shift in immigration policy by European countries.
Even the EU is starting to get stricter on immigration as it should. Nationalism is rising in Europe and Europe is gradually re-Christianizing. Dr. Steve Turley has also pointed out something I hadn’t considered about Europe, a quiet demographic revolution. Of course, fertility rates in Europe remain too low overall. Religious couples particularly Conservative Christians have higher birth rates than the secular majority of the population. You know that old saying “hope springs eternal?” In Europe’s case it springs from its most religious and conservative quarters. Returning to Trump at Davos, he spoke the truth and put the global elites on notice.
Now let’s discuss immigration to Europe and Islam in Europe for a moment. Is immigration to Europe a bad thing? No, of course not. Is Europe being multicultural bad? No, not at all! It’s all about how you handle both these things that matter. Multiculturalism in Europe can ONLY work if everyone plays by the same set of rules. Anyone who wants to come to Europe must assimilate, follow the laws of the host country, learn the language, adopt its values, get educated on its history, be patriotic, be a hard working citizen, pay their taxes, and contribute to society. As to immigration European nations must fundamentally reform their immigration systems. They’ve made some headway in that department. But much more must be done. All European nations must adopt a merit-based immigration system with a focus on high-skilled labor. Each nation must deploy their military to cover land, sea and air to keep out illegal immigrants. Migrant boats need to be turned around and those folks resettled in prosperous nations that they are culturally adjacent to.
Tall fences should be built on each nation’s border. The rules for who claim refugee or asylum status will be tightened. All no-go zones will be stormed by the police and cleaned out. They will gentrified and integrated with non-Muslims. Mass deportations of illegal immigrants will be carried out. The police presence at Christmas markets and in Jewish communities should be stepped up ten fold. Strict border controls will be passed. All European nations will sign defense pacts with Israel and negotiate trade deals with the Jewish state. It should be a requirement for citizenship in all European countries that any new immigrants must recognize Israel’s right to exist. As to Islam, all European courts must rule that Sharia Law is unlawful and not recognized in Europe. Forcing women to wear the full burqa will be illegal. Laws protecting ex-Muslims and progressive and moderate Muslims will be passed. Rabbis and Imams will go to European schools together and give talks on how Jews and Muslims can build bridges and should treat each other with respect and as equals.
As to Xi Jinping’s insane and bloody purge in China including disappearing his best friend, let’s be clear: this is deeply disturbing. Xi Jinping may act jovial on the world stage but make no mistake about it, this man is a cold blooded killer. He will wack anyone who stands in his way. He’d “disappear” his own mother if it served his purposes. No one is safe with this madman of the Middle Kingdom! He’s much more like Chairman Mao than Deng Xiaoping. The recent purge is him flexing his muscles and putting his opponents on notice. Indeed, the Europeans continue to pour money into Russia’s coffers by buying oil from them and from India which comes from Russia too. The war could’ve been over long ago had they cut off Russia’s cash flow and some more to make peace a possibility. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are the only ones who’ve achieved any significant steps towards peace in Ukraine. I believe the war will be over before 2026 is out. Why? Because Russia has no reason to continue it and nothing to gain from doing so. On top of that, Trump is chasing them out of the western hemisphere with the newly reborn and modernized Monroe Doctrine, badly damaged their ally Islamic Iran and captured another close ally Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. Russia has enough problems as it is with the war and at home. Their military is decimated. The war is a quagmire period and Ukraine has been another Afghanistan for them.
Russia’s birth rate is too low, it’s population aging rapidly, it’s economy is in bad shape, the oligarchs are losing their patience, alcoholism and drug addiction are running rampant, two-thirds of Russians have STDs, their healthcare system is a mess, Putin’s position in the government is precarious to say the least considering the Wagner Group came close to following him, and much more. I think they’ve got bigger fish to fry to say the least. Trump is pushing Putin to have some sense and tap out. Ukraine can’t win but they can continue to wear Russia out. Trump has also isolated them making inroads into Central Asia and the Caucuses and Putin through his own blundering got Sweden and Finland into NATO. He’s under siege on all sides and can’t hold on much longer. No one has done more to make this possible than Donald Trump and the United States of America.
