The Collapse of the Liberal Order

The inevitable failure of the post-WWI liberal world order is increasingly obvious to everyone now, but they’re still not connecting it to the even more inevitable failure of the Enlightenment and its false ideals.

What was the clearest early sign for you that the unipolar order was beginning to fracture?

The theorists such as Huntington, Faye, and Pat Buchanan were all writing about the inevitable fracture in the early 1990s. But for me, there were three events that conclusively indicated that the unipolar world was cracking.

The 2014 annexation of Crimea marked the first real irreversible breach. This wasn’t merely territorial – it was civilizational. President Putin invoked the baptism of Kievan Rus in 988, positioning Russia as the Third Rome inheriting Byzantium’s mantle. While Western elites dismissed this as nothing more than manipulative propaganda, they missed the core signal: a major power was reorganizing its legitimacy around its own territorial hegemony based on religious-historical continuity rather than liberal democratic norms.

The second sign was China’s 2015 declaration of cyber sovereignty. When Beijing asserted that nations have an absolute right to regulate internet activities within their borders, it wasn’t fundamentally about censorship – it was about civilizational control over cyberspace. The split internet wasn’t a bug; it was the architecture of civilizational spheres reawakening through technology.

The third indicator was the 2016 Brexit vote paired with Trump’s election. Brexit represented the first time a globalist institution like the EU actually contracted and shrank. And Trump ran on a political platform that promised to dismantle the liberal international order. These weren’t isolated populist spasms but the first mass democratic repudiations of Francis Fukuyama’s “end of history” thesis, as he himself has admitted. The liberal order’s legitimacy collapsed not from external attack but from internal hollowing – its own populations voting against its continuance.

This is the deeper point that a lot of observers are missing. They’re still trying to figure out how the Enlightenment ideals in which they still believe can be implemented in whatever replaces the failing world order, but this is a fundamentally flawed perspective because it is the failure of the ideals that is causing the failure of the world order.

However, simply attempting to return to traditional ideals won’t work, not because the ideals are false, but because the knowledge upon which they are based and their practical applications are at least 300 years out of date. Hence the need for a new post-Enlightenment philosophy that is capable of serving as the intellectual foundation for humanity’s eventual post-crash recovery.

Jeffrey Epstein: RUSSIAN Agent

Breaking news from Clown World. Now that more details are coming out, it turns out that that the Jewish pedophile with links to the Jewish daughter of the Jewish billionaire and close personal ties to the Prime Minister of Israel all along was working for… PUTIN!

Epstein’s Sex Empire Was KGB Honeytrap

Jeffrey Epstein was running ‘the world’s largest honeytrap operation’ on behalf of the KGB when he procured women for his network of associates, intelligence sources believe.

The release of more than three million new documents relating to the late sex offender gives credence to incendiary claims made by senior security officials: that Epstein was working on behalf of Moscow, and possibly Israel, when he facilitated assignations for some of the world’s most powerful men.

The files include 1,056 documents naming Russian President Vladimir Putin and 9,629 referring to Moscow. Epstein even seems to have secured audiences with Putin after his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

The sources say it could explain why Epstein appeared to enjoy an ultra-wealthy lifestyle out of kilter with his career as a financier, although there is no documentary evidence linking Putin and his spies directly to Epstein’s illicit activities.

Apparently none of the readers of the mainstream British press are buying this, as pretty much all of the more than three thousand comments are in this vein:

  • So we’re blaming the Russians when all his money, contacts and communication were Israeli? Well, that makes sense.
  • Not Russia, Israel and Mossad.
  • It even says in the article ‘no documented links to Putin and his spies’ what a misleading headline! This rag is poison!
  • He’s Mossad, as was Robert Maxwell. How many Mossad directors were at Robert Maxwells funeral? You can’t blackmail the powerful without dirt and that’s what Epstein was collecting.
  • US agencies, CIA, FBI, protected Epstien in plain sight. Obviously at least a joint venture. Bringing KGB is sounds like a moronic Hollywierd plot, especially as the KGB closed shop in 1991.
  • Nice try Dailymail we know it was israel

So anti-semitic. I, for one, condemn this terrible Sino-Russian attempt to bring down the fine, upstanding men of the Anglo-American elite. Will the wickedness of Ji Xinping and Vladimir Putin, that modern-day Hitlerian duo, ever end?

Failed Coup in China

It appears the global satanists, having failed with their attempted color revolution in Iran, recently tried to unseat Xi Jinping by corrupting two members of the Chinese general staff.

According to sources cited by Reuters and Bloomberg, reports are circulating that an attempted military coup took place in China aimed at removing Xi Jinping. Two key generals have reportedly been detained, along with their families and up to approximately 3,000 military personnel.

What is known at this stage:

  • Zhang Youxia (Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission) is suspected of organizing the coup attempt against Xi Jinping.
  • An armed confrontation reportedly occurred, involving gunfire between troops loyal to Zhang and the presidential security detail, resulting in several of Xi Jinping’s guards being wounded or killed.
  • The plans of Zhang Youxia and Joint Staff Chief Liu Zhenli allegedly included mobilizing troops to carry out a state coup against Xi Jinping.
  • The intended slogan of the operation was reportedly: “Save the Party, Save the Nation.”
  • The plan is said to have collapsed due to a suspected betrayal from within the inner circle.
  • Both generals are currently under strict control and investigation; their families and up to 3,000 military personnel have reportedly been detained as well.

Following the exposure of the alleged plot, heightened combat readiness measures were introduced, troop movements were halted, mobile phones were confiscated, and mass propaganda efforts were launched. These events coincided with Chinese military exercises simulating strikes on Taiwan and the destruction of its governing authorities.

While China’s Ministry of Defense has officially confirmed the opening of investigations into Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli—citing “serious violations of discipline and law,” a phrase often associated with corruption—the claims of an actual “coup attempt” and “armed clashes” remain unverified at this time and largely stem from social media and opposition-linked outlets. Western news agencies such as Reuters and Bloomberg tend to interpret these developments as another round of purges within the military elite initiated by Xi Jinping.

Another report was more or less in line with this, although it claims the CIA was involved.

It appears that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been successfully running agent networks within China’s military-political elite. China’s highest-ranking general, the current Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Zhang Youxia, is accused of transferring key technical data on China’s nuclear weapons to the United States. According to participants in a high-level briefing cited by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), China’s Ministry of National Defense of the People’s Republic of China officially announced yesterday that an investigation has been launched against the general for “serious violations of discipline and law.”

In addition to alleged treason, the general is accused of corruption and abuse of office — specifically, accepting bribes in exchange for promotions and allegedly trading influence over the position of Minister of Defense. This development represents one of the largest scandals within China’s political and military elite, as Zhang Youxia was considered one of Xi Jinping’s most trusted figures. Any potential leak of nuclear data would constitute a strategic-level blow to China’s national security.

The CIA has been of dubious loyalty to the American people since its post-WWII formation. It wouldn’t be at all surprising if it was also involved in running the “protests” in Minnesota, which looks very much like a conventional color revolution, lacking only the missing national leader to serve as a popular figurehead for it.

More Clown World Madness

Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and the NFL world is losing its collective mind.

On Tuesday, it was revealed that the man who guided the Patriots to six Super Bowl titles was not elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, in his first time on the ballot. It’s safe to say this insane development has everyone around the NFL utterly shocked.

Is this important? Not at all. But it is all-too-illustrative of the insanity of Clown World. No one, with the exception of Paul Brown and George Halas, has ever been more obviously deserving of the Pro Football Hall of Fame than Bill Belichick.

All of the voters who refused to vote for him should be stripped of their vote. They are the ones who are not qualified.

The EU is Monitoring

I know I feel a little safer today after hearing that.

The European Union, a geopolitically irrelevant if extremely expensive bureaucratic behemoth that has spent a great deal of energy since 2022 lecturing the world on the evils of military aggression and the inviolability of national borders (at least when those borders are Ukrainian) learned about these events from the internet, along with the rest of us. Finally, around noon, the mentally vacant EU foreign affairs girlboss Kaja Kallas logged onto X to assure the world that “the EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela,” as if anybody gives the slightest shit what these people are doing.

Personally, I’d like to see President Trump do Starmer, Macron, and Weepy Fritz, or whatever that crying German CDC’s name is, next, before he seizes Greenland.

He can leave Brussels to Putin. There is nothing wrong there that a few team of Spetsnaz and an Oreshnik couldn’t cure in an hour.

The seizure of Maduro and the rise of the Donroe Doctrine would, if nothing else, appear to mark the end of the Rules-Based Order charade, and that’s a very good thing. If there must be empire, at least let it be open empire.

Taiwan > Okinawa

China’s strategists have begun implementing a new rhetorical wedge issue against Clown World. It turns out that China has a far better claim to Taiwan than Japan does to US-occupied Okinawa.

Articles by Chinese media questioning the history of and Japan’s sovereignty over Okinawa Prefecture surged in November, analysis showed, as Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks on a Taiwan emergency sharply deteriorated Tokyo-Beijing ties.

The number of Chinese articles using terms such as “Ryukyu” — a historical name for the former island kingdom that includes present-day Okinawa — and “independence” increased by around 20-fold last month from a year earlier.

Assertions casting doubt on Okinawa’s status as Japanese territory became more prominent, suggesting a possible propaganda campaign triggered by Takaichi’s comments, indicating her government may act if China were to launch a military attack against the self-ruled island.

The apparent aim is to unsettle Japanese society while shaping public opinion within China. Beijing views Taiwan as a renegade province to be reunified with the mainland, by force if necessary. They have been governed separately since 1949, following a civil war.

The articles were extracted from reports by media based in mainland China and Hong Kong in which “Ryukyu” or “Okinawa” and “independence” appeared close together in the text. Under the criteria, about 30 such articles were identified in November 2024.

But the figure rose to around 600 last month, soaring after Nov. 7, when Takaichi said in a parliamentary session that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could constitute a “survival-threatening situation” for Japan, potentially involving its defense forces.

In November, Chinese-linked media articles highlighted Okinawa’s past as an independent kingdom, arguing that the southern island prefecture’s sovereignty did not revert to Japan under the 1972 reversion agreement.

It’s fascinating how quickly the so-called “rules-based world order” is trying to forget the rules that established it back in 1945. But even if we ignore the rules, the historical facts are equally clear:

  • The Qing dynasty formally annexed Taiwan in May 1684, making it a prefecture of Fujian province while retaining its administrative seat (now Tainan) under Koxinga as the capital.
  • In 1879, Japan annexed the entire Ryukyu archipelago. The Meiji government then established Okinawa Prefecture. The monarchy in Shuri was abolished, and the deposed King Shō Tai was forced to relocate to Tokyo.

The Chinese claim to Taiwan predates the Japanese claim by nearly 200 years. Or, if we subscribe to the rules of the rules-based world order, by nearly 300 years.

SJW Travel Ban

Also, if you’re insufficiently enthusiastic about the response to the unprovoked and totally unexpected October 7th terrorist attacks, you might want to reconsider your travel plans to the USA:

The Trump administration is set to require foreign tourists to hand over the past five years of their social media history in order to enter the United States. The drastic move was the latest attempt by President Donald Trump to scrutinize those entering the country, after an immigration freeze from 19 countries was announced last week.

The ‘mandatory’ notice was published by Customs and Border Protection on Tuesday in the Federal Register.

Social media data would be required for any people entering the United States, including countries like the United Kingdom and Germany who don’t mandate visas for travel.

It follows a June announcement by the State Department that ordered travelers to make their social media profiles public.

People entering the US will also be asked to provide email addresses, phone numbers and information on their family members in order to achieve safe passage.

First, it will certainly tend to cut down on immigration, particularly immigration from the sort of people employed by NGOs. Second, what a boon for alternative social media platforms that are not accessible by the various government authorities.

As much as most of us enjoy it, the ease and affordability of global travel has turned out to be one of the greatest banes of the modern age. Imagine how awful it would have been if the Visigoths could have simply flown to Rome and that’s essentially the situation we’ve been living in since the 1970s.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services said officers will now consider whether an applicant for benefits, such as residency, work and visa applications, ‘endorsed, promoted, supported, or otherwise espoused’ anti-American, terrorist or antisemitic views.

Two observations. First, I find it all-too-typical that people who don’t hesitate to identify “anti-semitism” somehow find it impossible to understand what “anti-American” is or identify anything as being “anti-American”. And second, the fact that “antisemitic views” are on that list is a clear indication that this is a Clown World measure and not the America First one it appears to be.

Who Could it Be Now?

From CDAN:

This podcaster thought the overseas money would last forever. It hasn’t and he can’t find any new sources of big income. He is drowning in debt and took a shot at the A list female podcaster hoping she would take the bait so he could get some clicks. That didn’t work. He is crashing out and desperate.

I honestly have no idea. Nor do I care. But it would appear that the money is drying up for the manufactured successes. As Warren Buffet used to say, it’s only when the tide goes out that we can see who was naked all along.

Against Civilizational Erasure

Last night, I went over the entire National Security Strategy document (PDF) on the Darkstream. It’s much, much better than we had any right to expect, given the incoherent rantings being periodically emitted by the Short Fat Trump, so much so that it tends to raise real questions about who is actually in charge of the things that matter. Both the previously-quoted section on the end of the migration era and the need for military reindustrialization read as if the author is familiar with this site, and the section on Europe is clearly focused on bringing about the end of the globalist elite’s occupation of the European nations and eliminating the EU’s current path toward “civilizational erasure”.

Continental Europe has been losing share of global GDP—down from 25 percent in 1990 to 14 percent today—partly owing to national and transnational regulations that undermine creativity and industriousness.

But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure. The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.

Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation…

American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism.

Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.

This section has panicked the EU elite, and it absolutely should, because it makes it clear that both of the great nationalist powers, Russia and China, are now actively preferred to the globalist “anti-democratic elite” that is currently pushing for a military war with the former and an economic war with the latter, neither of which the EU could win even with the US assistance that is clearly going to be denied going forward.

What Democracies?

The primary Clown World justification for its relentless wars against sovereign nations around the world over the last 200 years doesn’t even exist. The so-called “liberal democracies” are neither liberal nor democratic.

Labour is facing fury today after it emerged more elections are being delayed amid dire polls for Keir Starmer. Four mayoral contests that were due to be held in May are being pushed back by two years, with accusations that the PM is ‘subverting democracy’ to ‘save his skin’.

Some 7.5million residents in Essex, Hampshire and the Solent, Sussex and Brighton, and Norfolk and Suffolk will not vote until 2028.

Ministers argue that more time is needed to finish reorganising local authorities in England.

But critics point out that Sir Keir is braced for a hammering in the local elections, as polls show his party trailing far behind Reform. Even Labour MPs voiced concerns, with former minister Jim McMahon saying the government had to be ‘better than this’. Battles in nine council areas, East Sussex, West Sussex, Essex, Thurrock, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Norfolk, Suffolk and Surrey have already been postponed from this year to 2026.

Reform’s deputy leader Richard Tice this morning accused Sir Keir of ‘running scared’, swiping that ‘generally it’s dictators that cancel elections. Some 7.5 million people are now going to be denied the opportunity of voting in mayoral elections,’ he said.

‘Funny isn’t it, we’ve just announced our mayoral candidates for all of these areas and all of a sudden the Government, terrified of losing to Reform, are cancelling them.’

He added that a two-year delay ‘is a deliberate dictatorial cancelling of democracy in the United Kingdom and we shouldn’t tolerate it’.

The truth is that the “representative democracy” at which the trained media clowns bark and clap approvingly has always been an inversion of the actual concept of democracy. Everything from the constitutions and elections and judiciary systems are designed to limit democracy, to rein it in, and to prevent the will of the people from being enacted.

It’s a fundamentally dishonest system and it always has been. Now the veil is being torn, in the USA, in Ukraine, and in the UK, which is less a cause of Clown World’s systemic collapse than a consequence of it.

But it was always a lie.

There are a few genuine demi-democracies, where referendums actually consult the will of the entire electorate. But even those are strictly leashed by their “representative” and “judicial” elements, both of which are de facto anti-democratic. But “representative democracy” is no more democracy than “civic nationalism” is nationalism.
