• 🔍 Doug Casey, the author, was introduced to deagle.com which tracks economies and military capabilities of different countries, similar to Jane's but less known.
• 📊 Deagle's website previously had a prediction for population levels in 2025 for every country, which is now only available in the internet archive.
• 📉 The prediction suggests a drastic population decline, particularly in the Western world, with the U.S. population projected to fall by 50-70%.
• 🌍 The population decline is not limited to the U.S. but also includes Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, with other countries experiencing a more moderate decline.
• 🤔 The reason behind these drastic predictions is not clearly stated by deagle.com, but the possibility of a biological war is suggested as a potential cause.
• 💥 Doug Casey speculates that a biological war could be a strategic move in a larger conflict, particularly between the U.S. and China, and could be a way to target specific populations.
• 🛡️ Biological warfare is highlighted as a potential aspect of World War III, with advantages such as plausible deniability and the preservation of infrastructure.
• 🏙️ The fragility of highly urbanized societies is discussed, emphasizing the potential for mass starvation and societal collapse if supply chains are disrupted.
• 🧬 The possibility of genetic targeting in biological warfare is mentioned, suggesting that advancements in technology like CRISPR could play a role in such conflicts.
• 🔎 The credibility of deagle.com and its predictions is questioned, with Doug Casey seeking more information from his contacts in the intelligence community.

Q & A

What is the main topic of the article published by Doug in the International Man?

The main topic of the article is the forecasts for massive population changes in 2025 as presented on the website deagle.com.

What is deagle.com known for tracking?

Deagle.com is known for tracking the economies and military capabilities of different countries around the world.

Why did Doug find the population forecasts on deagle.com shocking?

Doug found the forecasts shocking because they predict a drastic population decline of 50 to 70 percent in Western countries like the U.S., Western Europe, Canada, and Australia, which is unprecedented and alarming.

What explanation did deagle.com provide for the predicted population decline?

Deagle.com suggested the possibility of a biological war as a reason for the predicted population decline, without giving a detailed explanation or basis for their figures.

What is Doug's background that makes him interested in such topics?

Doug has a background in international man publications and is interested in global issues, including military capabilities and economic forecasts.

What is the connection between the predicted population decline and the current situation with COVID-19 according to Doug?

Doug suggests that the predicted population decline coincides with the current COVID-19 pandemic, hinting at the possibility of a biological war which could be related to the pandemic response and its effects on societies.

Why does Doug believe a biological war could be a credible explanation for the population decline?

Doug believes a biological war is credible because it could provide a way to target specific populations genetically, offer plausible deniability due to its covert nature, and leave infrastructure intact for the victor.

What is the role of genetic characteristics in a potential biological war as discussed in the script?

Genetic characteristics could play a role in a biological war by allowing the creation of pathogens that specifically target populations with certain genetic markers, potentially sparing the attacker's own population if they have been inoculated.

What are the implications of the high level of urbanization in the world today, as discussed in the script?

High urbanization implies a reliance on supply chains for survival, making societies vulnerable to disruptions. If supply chains were to fail, even for a short time, it could lead to widespread shortages and potential starvation.

What is the significance of the disclaimer on deagle.com regarding their population forecasts?

The disclaimer suggests that the Western World's success model is fragile and lacks resilience to withstand hardships, hinting at the possibility of societal collapse or significant upheaval.

What steps does Doug plan to take to further investigate the credibility of deagle.com's forecasts?

Doug plans to reach out to contacts in the intelligence community and the Rand Corporation to inquire about the credibility of deagle.com and the origins of their forecasts.
