Shiny, Sexy, Secutopia

The epic retarderies of modern civilization can, to some extent, be blamed on science fiction:

By the 1960s, progressivism had reached a new ascendancy. Fueled by the unparalleled wealth that came with a modern economy, millions were lifted into new, luxurious lifestyles. Now was the time to put aside the ignorance of religion and finally embrace the freedoms offered by a world liberated from Christianity.

It isn’t hard to understand how so many fell for the deception. Things were getting better and better. Technology was improving, and more importantly, accelerating. The Soviet Union was an existential threat, yes. However, too many had already seen the miracle of science, and it seemed a better horse to back than spiritually weakened priests who were quickly conceding to the liberalism’s demands.

But with any new religion, there has to be a story, and the story science told wasn’t so flattering. Men had gone from sons of God to sons of apes. Salvation was a lie and death was the end. There was no justice in the world, and mercy was just the delusion of fools. Man was a small being in a cold universe. The only thing modern men could be comforted by was his own increasing material comfort.

That’s not a story anyone wants to hear. And it’s certainly not a story anyone wants to tell. While abject nihilism has always had its place in literature, it rightfully has a small audience. Nihilism has nothing that could sustain a city, much less a nation.

Reason and science needed romance. It needed adventure and a destiny. Without these things, it was a boring, uninspiring philosophy. Writers (good ones anyway) instinctively shy away from boring. Better to be dead than boring. If there is a victory, it has to be a glorious triumph. If it is a defeat, it has to be a last stand. And if it is banal, then it has to be the most shuddering and teeth clenching banality of all.

But the Sci-Fi writers of the 1960s and later could do a lot more than banality. They knew how to tell stories, and they (unconsciously or otherwise) slipped that dreaded irrationality and religious ignorance back into their fiction. In doing so, they created the archetypal myths which define the modern world.

The problem was their myths were material, stupid, and false. They always were, but it wasn’t always completely obvious as the technology- and debt-bubbles expanded and made the impossible seem inevitable. Now, of course, people are embarrassed to admit they ever bought into any of it.

Immigration and the USA

A few of the smarter observers appear to finally be recognizing that not only is diversity not a strength, but that the immigration which was wrongly believed to have been responsible for the century of American greatness is actually assuring the inevitable fracturing of the US polity and the ongoing demise of the American empire.

From my days in high school, perhaps in history class, I saw an invisible common thread that ran through history. Every empire, nation, and city-state had risen with such hope, believing they would last forever, only to fall to dust and be swept aside into a common grave. In recent years, I have grown steadily more concerned about the prospect of a complete democratic breakdown in America. I have studied how such grand empires, always founded for eternity, crumble, split, and then turn into revolutions spawned by civil unrest. I have immersed myself in the centuries of literature describing the polarization of societies and the rise of political violence. It appears that the common source has always begun with this idea of a federal government that then seeks to impose its will upon the people in a one-size-fits-all approach…

Except they still don’t get it. They still subscribe to the ridiculous Melting Pot myth, and erroneously insist that the problem is a) Democrats and b) illegal immigration.

We face the very same crisis in this mass migration of illegal aliens, and the purpose is the very same as I encountered in 1997 in Australia – yet the opposite. Biden opened the border with an Executive Order on the first day he entered office. The Democrats know that their Marxist Agenda, like Communist China and Russia, is losing. The simple stats reveal their peril. This chart takes the total number of seats in the Senate and House and plots the combination held by each party. The Democrats were the slave party and lost during the Civil War. They flipped their fate by adopting Marxism, which was successful during the Great Depression. They have never been able to exceed the highs achieved by FDR at that time and have been making lower highs and lower lows, which, in market terms, is a bear market.

Biden isn’t the problem. Illegal aliens aren’t the problem. The cancer that will kill the USA dates back to 1965 and the Naturalization Act that ensured the demographic demolition of the USA. (Don’t be pedantic, one could also make credible cases for 1913 and 1865.) Unless a nationalist leader the quality of Xi or Putin comes to power and immediately begins a repatriation program of a scale that rivals the Chinese Great Leap Forward, the USA will likely collapse within ten years.

And there is no such leader on the horizon. We know it isn’t Trump. We know it isn’t Vance. And so it will be collapse, which is why major powers like China and Russia, and lesser powers like Iran and Indonesia, no longer consider the USA to be a major limitation on their freedom of action. The US military still has to be respected, but it is no longer feared, as it is only a matter of time before its capabilities are degraded to the point that it can no longer even threaten foreign interventions.

The collapse of the USA isn’t the end of America. In fact, it may very well be good for Americans, since the US government observably isn’t. The patterns of History always play out in the end.

Liberalism is Dead

All of its supposedly good points that justified it have been proven to be false. The so-called neoliberal world order turned out to be Clown World:

What remains of the supposed upsides of liberalism?

Human rights? You aren’t a Somali rapist facing deportation, you don’t have human rights

Freedom? Tell it to Sam Melia

Democracy? 20% of the electorate delivered Labour the 4th largest parliamentary majority in history.

And let’s not even get started on so-called “free speech”, which was nothing more than an attempt to replace Christian blasphemy laws with satanic blasphemy laws. It turns out that all of the supposed economic benefits of an open society were nothing more than the short-term benefits of a long-term debt bubble based on usury.

There is truly nothing new under the sun.

Of Course it Gets Worse

The part that the pro-refugee morons never stop to think through: what exactly do you think those refugees are going to do once they are embedded in your society. Do you think they are going to abide by your norms? No, they are not. Do you think they will engage in your business practices? No, they will not. Do you think they are going to abide by your laws? No, they are not.

The dirt is not magic. The business practices are not universal. The law is not substantive. And most importantly, the society is not immutable.

There is absolutely no way that American society can survive 100 million non-European immigrants and their descendants and survive, any more than American Indian society was able to survive five million European settlers and survive. None whatsoever.

Did Palestinian society survive the immigration of the Jewish settlers?

The same is true of the UK, of Sweden, of Germany, and every other European society that is being invaded by non-European peoples. One need not believe there is anything intrinsically wrong with African, Arab, or Chinese culture to grasp that they are all fundamentally different than the culture of each and every European society.

Whatever Happened to Huddled Masses?

The Border Patrol and the FBI denies a German economist entry to the USA:

An economist affiliated with Germany’s conservative Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was detained and interrogated for over 10 hours at a Chicago airport. His phone was seized by authorities allegedly for an offensive meme.

Jurij Christopher Kofner arrived at the Chicago airport on Sunday, July 20, following a 12-hour flight from his hometown of Munich, Bavaria, after which he was immediately detainedby the United States Border Patrol and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Kofner, a self-described “ordoliberal” – a German variant of classical liberalism – was set to attend a weeklong seminar in Springfield, Illinois on “Classical Liberalism and Business” at the University of Illinois, Springfield, organized by the American Institute of Economic Research and the Academy on Capitalism.

Following the conclusion of Kofner’s 10-hour ordeal – during which he noted he was subjected to “random questioning” – he was ultimately refused entry into the United States. Furthermore, his phone was confiscated by authorities for allegedly containing an offending meme. His laptop was also confiscated and subjected to an electronic search, but was later sent back to his home in Munich. His phone remains in U.S. custody “for further analysis.”

The meme in question featured President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as soldiers on D-Day with the caption, in German: “Warmongers in the front row, as it should be.”

Meanwhile, Prince Harry openly confesses to doing illegal drugs and the door is held wide open for him, to say nothing of the tens of millions of migrants whose illegal entry is being facilitated. It’s clear that there hasn’t been any rule of law operative in the States for decades.

The End Game

More women across the West desperately need to understand that all of their “oh, poor refugees” and “someone should so something” and “be nice, don’t be raciss” and “they’re just here to seek a better life” is going to avail them precisely nothing once the foreign invaders have sufficient numbers to impose their will on society and reshape it more to their liking.

This is the end game for women’s suffrage. As I have pointed out for decades, there is absolutely no evidence that a society can survive it for long. And what we’re witnessing now is the inevitable fate for which the majority of women have dutifully, if not smugly, voted for decades.

The Unrepentant Evil of the Boomers

I don’t think Boomers who foolishly attempt to defend their fellow Boomers understand that doing so only makes those of us in the younger generations all the more invested in seeing The Day of the Pillow come for all of them.

We spend our children’s inheritance traveling around the world, people call us ‘selfish’ but we don’t care. A rich boomer couple has been labeled “selfish and privileged” after revealing they intended to burn through their children’s inheritance with luxury holidays. Victorian parents Leanne and Leon Ryland appeared on SBS program ‘Insight’ to discuss why their two adult sons wouldn’t be seeing a cent of their inheritance.

The couple has spent $114,631 on seeing the “wonders of the world” since their retirement, and their travels have included Machu Picchu in Peru, India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. In fact, they plan to continue traveling and joked their sons would only inherit the “shelf of s–t” from their travels.

The couple started their jetsetting ways four years ago after they saw a financial planner about their retirement. “We’ve done all the right things by investing in property, boosting up our super, making sure that was healthy, going without a lot of things,” Ms Ryland said on the program. “And he said, ‘You’re crazy if you don’t retire when you can, because you’ll spend most of your wealth on travel or whatever in the first 10 years, and then after that it slows down’.

“It’s changing our mindset. You get into a phase now where you actually spend instead of save.”

The couple have not only taken the mindset themselves, but have taken steps to help other rich, older parents spend their children’s inheritance.

I don’t call them selfish. I call them a wicked generation that will deservedly burn in Hell as their descendants curse their memory. Remember, the Boomers collectively received the largest inheritance in human history from their parents, and the majority of them are going to leave their children and grandchildren with literally less than nothing, with nothing but their debts.

This is straight-up wickedness, both according to the Bible and the natural order.

Naked Clown World

The system hasn’t so much snapped as it has been exposed. What I understood in the late 1990s, and what Wang Hunin understood some 20 years before that, is now being admitted by the mainstream media and recognized by the public. Zerohedge contemplates a significant admission by Gerry Baker, Editor at Large for the Wall Street Journal, who, says: ‘We’ve been “gaslit’ and deceived” – for years – “all in the name of ‘democracy’”.

Something significant has snapped within ‘the system’. It is always tempting to situate such events in ‘immediate time’, but even Baker seems to allude to a longer cycle of gaslighting and deception – one that only now has suddenly burst into open view.

Such events – though seemingly ephemeral and of the moment – can be portents to deeper structural contradictions moving.

When Baker writes of Biden being the latest ‘flag of convenience’ under which the ruling strata could sail the progressive vessel into the deepest reaches of American life – “on a mission to advance statism, climate extremism and self-lacerating wokery” – it seems probable that he is referring to the 1970s era of the Trilateral Commission and the Club of Rome.

The 1970s and 1980s were the point at which the long arc of traditional liberalism gave place to an avowedly illiberal, mechanical ‘control system’ (managerial technocracy) that today fraudulently poses as liberal democracy.

Emmanuel Todd, the French anthropological historian, examines the longer dynamics to events unfolding in the present: The prime agent of change leading to the Decline of the West (La Défaite de l’Occident), he argues, was the implosion of ‘Anglo’ Protestantism in the U.S. (and England), with its entailed habits of work, individualism and industry – a creed whose qualities were held then to reflect God’s grace through material success, and, above all, to confirm membership of the divine ‘Elect’.

Whereas traditional liberalism had its mores, the decline of traditional values triggered the slide towards managerial technocracy, and to nihilism. Religion lingers on in the West, though in a ‘zombie’ state, Todd avers. Such societies, he argues, flounder – absent some guiding metaphysical sphere that provides people with non-material sustenance.

However, the incoming doctrine that only a wealthy financial élite, tech experts, leaders of multinational corporations and banks possess the required foresight and technological understanding to manipulate a complex and increasingly controlled system changed politics completely.

Mores were gone – and so was empathy. Many experienced the disconnect and the disregard of cold technocracy.

So when a senior WSJ editor tells us that the ‘deception and ‘gaslighting’ collapsed with the CNN Biden-Trump debate, we should surely pay attention; He is saying the scales finally fell from peoples’ eyes.

What was being gaslighted was the fiction of democracy and also that of America declaring itself – in its own scripture – to be the trailblazer and pathfinder of humanity: America as the exceptional nation: the singular, the pure-of-heart, the baptizer, and redeemer of all peoples despised and downtrodden; the “last, best hope of earth”.

The reality was very different. Of course, states can ‘live a lie’ for a long period. The underlying problem – the point Todd makes so compellingly – is that you can be successful in deceiving and manipulating public perceptions, but only up to a point.

The reality was, it simply was not working.

The same is true of ‘Europe’.

The EU’s aspiration to become a global geo-political actor too, was contingent on gaslighting the public that France, Italy and Germany et al could continue to be real national entities – even as the EU scooped up all national decision-making prerogatives, by deceit. The mutiny at the recent European elections reflected this discontent.

Being subversive and inversive, the Clown World system relies upon secrecy in order to operate successfully. Now that it has been exposed, and now that its enemies see it clearly for the Empire of Lies that it is, its defeat is assured.

But what will come next will not be what was before.

Why BRICS Can’t Replace the G7

The new organizations will not be carbon copies of their Clown World predecessors:

We can state with certainty that groups such as the BRICS and, at the regional level, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, cannot replicate the model that has made the Western world so successful. Firstly, the objectives of its members are not to exploit the rest of humanity. Consequently, the level of coordination of national policies also cannot reach such a high degree. Simply because, by participating in BRICS, for instance, countries do not address the most fundamental issues of survival or achieve development objectives. In other words, everything the West creates is aimed against the rest of the world, and there are no exceptions. Those who now oppose the West, whether through confrontation like Russia or through the pursuit of softer alternatives like India and the Arab countries, do not initially orient their policies towards combating all humanity. Therefore, they will find it difficult to create an alternative form of institutional cooperation.

Second, the organizational structure of new alliances of countries from the Global South cannot be based on a ‘single leader’ model. Thus, large countries such as Russia, China, and even India have not joined the Western bloc because, due to their structural differences, they cannot accept the unquestioned authority of another major power to fulfil all of its demands, as Western Europe does with the United States.

Now the Global South is seeking to establish its own institutions but, for objective reasons, it still has a long way to go in understanding how these institutions can function without being replicas of Western models. This applies even to more specific areas of cooperation, which are strictly regulated within the West in accordance with internal power hierarchies.

However, the theoretical aspect of the issue is equally interesting. In this regard, even the very concept of “international order” may prove to be controversial and even unacceptable in some respects in the future.

The fact is that the entire conceptual framework which allows us to discuss international politics in a relatively consistent manner, was developed under specific conditions that were inherent in world events over the past five hundred years. This implies that we cannot currently determine how relevant well-known concepts of international reality will be in the coming decades.

For instance, the “Westphalian order” is a concept that emerged as a result of the legal resolution of an intra-European conflict between the mid-sixteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries, with little relevance to the rest of the world. However, due to the dominance of Western powers, this order — as a mechanism for interstate relations — has since spread across the globe.

In essence, the current system has been imposed on other countries. A notable example is China, which became “connected” to the Westphalian system through the military aggression of European powers in the early 19th century. This could lead to a situation where the words used by political leaders and scholars become meaningless.

This is another good sign that the most powerful of the sovereign nations, China and Russia, harbor no objective to replace the USA. But we already knew this; if China wanted to replace the USA, it would not have cancelled the planned “jump to China” in 2015 that was intended to accomplish precisely that.

Fake Democracy: The Admission

Simplicius notes that the media is finally admitting to all and sundry that the electoral politics in the USA are entirely fake and completely under the control of a wealthy, mostly foreign elite:

There are two telling revelations from recent events: the first is how the regime is using the current political crisis merely to preserve its own power, and find ways to save face and shield itself, rather than even remotely acknowledging the utter damage being done to the country and its people by what they’ve wrought. This includes the national security damage of having a clearly cognitively disabled ‘leader’ in power, whom they’ve protected up to now. And then there’s the fact they’ve compromised years worth of American development, letting society wither and degrade at the hands of a clearly demented sockpuppet. The country has been utterly wracked by historic crises, from hyperinflation to crime and drugs, rampant illegal migrant invasion, and more—and this corrupt self-serving and self-saving political class has knowingly enabled a puppet to preside over it all, who was mentally incapable of doing anything about it.

The second mother of all revelations is the now openly verbalized reality that an oligarchic ‘donor class’ and deepstate actually run the country. Last time we saw Axios make the blatant acknowledgment that Biden’s rule is at the behest of an oligarch class. Now, everywhere you turn are headlines describing the ‘donor class’ as scrambling into secret conclaves to discuss some coordinated strategy on shooing off their formaldehyde-preserved commander-in-chief.

Over and over we hear the “donors” have decided this, or are going to do that—and it becomes clear that the so-called ‘Democracy’ we’ve been bamboozled with is a figment, and in fact is nothing more than a kind of auction for the elites… The fact that a secret camarilla of donors (read: billionaire oligarchs) is meeting behind closed doors to decide on the presidential candidacy of the United States tells you everything you need to know about how the country actually functions, who holds the real power, and whose interests are really at the center of all political decisions.

People are becoming awakened like never before to the naked sham of the country’s political process. It has been exposed as nothing more than a moneyed pageant for a detached class of elites, unbeholden to citizens’ interests or any principles—moral or otherwise.

As I pointed out back in 2004, the USA as we knew it, and as many still erroneously believe it to be, is dead. When George Bush the Younger dismissed the Constitution as “a piece of paper” he wasn’t exaggerating or being metaphorical. Both the Constitution and the electoral system are irrelevant; we probably have not had a genuine and legitimate presidential election since at least 1948, and possibly since 1912.

Tibetan religious tradition has it that when the Dalai Lama dies, the Buddha of Compassion leaves his body and incarnates in the body of a young child. The monks immediately go out in search of this blessed child, and when they find him – as they inevitably do – he is tested by a group of high lamas and enthroned as the reincarnation of his successor.

Imagine, however, if the lamas refused to recognize that the Dalai Lama was, in fact, dead. Suppose that instead of going in search of the Buddha’s new carnal home, they hooked the corpse up to a life support machine and waited patiently for the Holy One to awake and rise up. It’s not hard to see that they would be doomed to disappointment, and furthermore, would fail to find the next Dalai Lama as well.

This is precisely our dilemma today, for America, as envisioned by the Founding Fathers, is dead. By every measure, large and small, the original vision of limited government by, for and of the people has been folded, spindled and mutilated beyond recognition. When one reads the Constitution, one simply marvels at the distinct difference between its words and our present reality.

The purpose of the Constitution was to protect the rights and liberties of the descendants of the American revolution. It has not been used for that purpose for quite some time now; it was never, ever envisioned to protect the rights of heathen foreigners against the white Anglo-Saxon Protestants who are the only genuine Posterity for whom the Constitution was written.

So America is a conquered nation, the USA is a failing, bankrupt, lawless empire ruled by a foreign elite, and it has been this way for decades. But only now are the people being forced to wake up to that fact. And only now are they beginning to understand that they are not going to vote their way out of their decades of humiliation any more than the Chinese people did.

Simplicius is wrong about only one thing. The elite that rules the US empire is absolutely beholden to certain principles, specifically, inverted and satanic principles.
