Australian National Review Chief Editor Jamie McIntyre Issues Stark Warning: “The Great Capital Migration Has Begun”
By Jamie Mcintyre
For more than two decades, Jamie McIntyre has built his reputation on spotting financial tides before they swell into waves. Supporters describe him as a trend forecaster who studies geopolitics the way a chess grandmaster studies the board, three moves ahead, sometimes ten.
He famously urged investor clients to look at Bitcoin when it was around US$75, long before it became a household word, later calling peaks near US$110,000. In the late 1990s, he was advocating gold at roughly US$300 an ounce, forecasting a long-term surge. He consistently promoted Australian real estate as a generational wealth vehicle, arguing it would double approximately every decade, and in 2010 he publicly encouraged investors to buy U.S. property at what he described as the bottom of the post-GFC market.
Now, McIntyre says a far larger shift is unfolding.
“This Isn’t About One Asset. It’s About Geography.”
According to McIntyre, the era of keeping the majority of one’s wealth tied exclusively to Western banking systems and Western governments is nearing its end. He argues that investors with all their capital concentrated in countries such as Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom are exposed to geopolitical and systemic risks that many underestimate.
He points to accelerating global realignments, growing debt burdens across Western nations, and rising geopolitical flashpoints, including the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, as signs that the global financial center of gravity is shifting.
In his view, capital does not wait for headlines to calm down. It moves early.
The Rise of BRICS+ and the “Eastward Drift”
McIntyre argues that the economic influence of the BRICS+ bloc is expanding steadily.

He suggests that trade realignments, currency discussions, commodity dominance, and demographic momentum are slowly pulling global capital flows toward emerging markets and non-Western alliances.
“Smart money has already started repositioning,” he says, describing what he calls a “Great Capital Migration.”
Rather than framing it as panic, he frames it as preparation.
Diversification Beyond Borders
McIntyre’s current advice is not simply to buy a specific asset. It is broader:
• Diversify banking exposure
• Hold assets outside Western jurisdictions
• Consider property and business interests in alternative regions
• Reduce reliance on any single Western currency system
He stresses that diversification is not ideological but strategic. In his commentary, he argues that geopolitical multipolarity is not a theory but a visible reality.
“Relocate Yourself or Relocate Your Capital”
Perhaps his strongest statement is his call for Western investors to consider relocating either themselves or a meaningful portion of their capital outside traditional Western centers.
He claims this is not a sudden shift in his outlook. According to McIntyre, he began repositioning personally several years ago, anticipating what he describes as escalating global instability. Through his reports and political commentary, he has consistently warned of rising global tensions, debt risks, and structural weaknesses in Western financial systems.
Whether one agrees with his geopolitical conclusions or not, McIntyre’s track record of bold macro calls continues to attract attention. Supporters argue that his forecasts on Bitcoin, gold, Australian property, and U.S. real estate demonstrate a willingness to go against consensus long before trends become obvious.
A Crossroads Moment
McIntyre frames the current period as a crossroads rather than a crisis. In his view, the world is transitioning from a Western-dominated financial order to a more fragmented and regionally diversified one.
He argues that investors who assume stability will automatically continue in its previous form may be overlooking historic shifts.
