Let Experience Be Silent

When Reason anticipates it by more than 21 years:

Fact check true but it’s worse than people inside the bubble know when you talk to real Americans outside the wicked snow globe of Washington DC.

Myself and many of my colleagues came courageously roaring into 2025 with legislation that matched the 2024 electoral mandate only to be totally sidelined by Johnson under full obedience of the WH.

Executive orders are temporary, Q memes have not and obliterated the deep state, and my colleagues constantly trying to pass loyalty tests instead of demanding what is right won’t help Americans pay their rent or stop corporations from buying up homes, buy their groceries, provide good paying jobs and stop foreigners with visas from stealing their jobs, stop American tax dollars from funding foreign wars and causes, or rebuild the value of the dollar.

Passing effective legislation that gets signed into law is permanent and actually solves Americans problems.

Now that House members are switching gears into campaign mode and will be fighting for their lives, our legislative majority has been mostly wasted. Our best shot was the first 6-9 months. And when Republicans likely lose the midterms it will become total and complete political war and gridlock once again.

The Uniparty always wins no matter which way the political pendulum swings leaving the American people empty handed.

It’s not that Rep. Greene is wrong, it’s that there was no need to send her to Washington DC to discover what I was already pointing out publicly in 2004. Because you can’t fix a corpse.

Any last vestiges of hope in the Republican Party have been shattered by the current regime, wherein a Republican President, Republican House, Republican Senate and Republican-nominated Supreme Court have demonstrated that they have zero interest in the timeless vision of America’s founders. Supporting them in the hopes that they will revive American liberties is akin to hoping that shock paddles will suffice to revive a month-old corpse. American freedom is not only dead, it has been rotting for some time.

Republicans fixed nothing and restored nothing when they had complete control of the government two decades ago. So, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that they did very little this time around.

Representative democracy is entirely incapable of reigning in a rogue ruling elite. More and more people around the world understand this; the Japanese people are merely the latest to learn that no matter how you change the “representatives”, the will of the people will not be heard, much less obeyed. Which is why it is obviously and observably impossible for the American people to vote their way out of the collapse of the United States, as Clown World is neither capable of giving up its control nor restabilizing the situation.

Remember back in the 1980s and 1990s when the innocent Clown Worlders used to believe that education, diversity, and calling white people racist was somehow going to make things better? Thirty years of relentless downward spiral later, and that’s still their only solution to the problem, although they’ve apparently improved it by substituting antisemitic for racist.

Is there one single solitary individual anywhere in the United States who can still assert with a straight face that continuing the Clown World program is going to prevent the United States from collapsing of the weight of its political, economic, demographic, and philosophical incoherencies?

An Old and Prescient Warning

It’s not really a surprise that the works of the great Swiss nationalist of the 20th century were suppressed and are now mostly forgotten in the 21st. But Gonzague de Reynold not only predicted the rise of a globalist supranationalism marketed to the people on the basis of economic interests, he warned of how such schemes would inevitably collapse and wreak devastation on the nations foolish enough to buy into them.

And while the Swiss of the 1940s were wise enough to heed his words, the current state of the USA, the UK, and the two great member-states of the European Union are demonstrating in real-time how his warnings are still entirely applicable today.

We need a national renewal. If it does not happen, if we let the current regime follow its course, we know very well where we will end up. We know it and, unless we are blind, we see it: through statism to socialism; after which, chaos. For as soon as we let things run their course, they escape the control of men, they follow their internal logic, all the way to the point of collapse…

We are no longer in an era when the existence of a nation is justified solely by the fact that it is constituted as a State, that its independence is guaranteed by treaties, sheltered by an international law whose roof is moreover full of holes. We are in an era when a nation must justify its existence by its works, by its intelligence, by its will to live. A nation that would reduce itself to being nothing more than an association of interests, a firm, would lose its right to existence and would sacrifice its own independence through a sort of collective suicide.

There lies the peril that interest groups and economic parties bring upon a country. The day when they realized that their interests lay in the suppression of a border, they would not hesitate to propose it.

We cannot learn anything useful from the corrupt mainstream intellectuals of today because, like the training-corrupted LLMs who parrot their falsehoods, their minds are malformed by a series of now-obvious falsehoods and outmoded ideological propaganda dating back to the ironically mislabeled “Enlightenment”.

We must look instead to the iconoclasts of the past, whose predictions have observably proven to be correct. Because events always follow the path of the correct logic that is rooted in the truth of Man and his behavior, not the false logic of useful madmen and their rosy-hued dreams that will inevitably turn out to be nightmares.

No More Gatekeepers

Much to their surprise, conservatives are discovering that they are increasingly the ones being disavowed by the Right now, as in this recent open letter to my old editor at the Dallas Morning News, Rod Dreher.

You are not going to gate-keep the right wing.

You aren’t going to veto the discussion of reality by pearl-clutching and making appeals to being “reasonable”, you aren’t going to restore the risk-averse conservativism of National Review by telling century-old horror stories about the ascendency of Adolf Hitler. You aren’t going to shut out critical conversations because you think their conclusions are distasteful.

The time when mainstream conservatism held this kind of power is over. And you will never have it ever again. Which is why you, and other conservatives, need to abandon the pretension and stop trying to pursue this futile task, for your good and the good of others that come after you.

Is it possible for conservatives to finally break from the form that has defined their own failure? Might you all stop quixotically raging against the sky and try to adopt a more practical approach?

I know that many of you are fond of that one saying by William F Buckley that “A conservative is someone who stands athwart the tracks of history, yelling Stop.” No doubt many conservatives find a certain nobility in these futile gestures, especially as America’s political reality grows much darker.

However, that train you now see coming down the tracks isn’t the crisis of modernity; nor is it some specific bad actor like Nick Fuentes, or even some popular mass delusion. The train is just a reality. It is the inevitable consequence of the politics promoted over the last three decades by those weak men too cowed to face hard truths head-on.

And no one can stop this train from coming, because all the opportunities to slow it down have been sabotaged, more often than not, by the very conservatives who were busy lamenting the sorry state of their predicament.

But lament your predicament or not, the train is still approaching. You are all going to have to make an adjustment to how you approach politics, or the juggernaut will run you down where you stand, not because you stood on some principle, but because you didn’t acknowledge the machine hurling towards you, just in front of your nose.

But perhaps this is history’s well-known sense of irony. Because, in the wake of this tragedy, everyone will naturally look back at your careers and wonder.

How?

How, after everything, after all of the articles, after all of the books, after all of the histrionic predictions of collapse and societal decline repeated over and over again, how could you still be so unprepared to face the world that you saw coming decades ago?

It is an eternal mystery. It is the story of how conservatism died.

Like everything that inevitably falls apart on its own, conservatism is dying under the weight of its own inconsistencies and incoherencies. Proclaiming “America First” while putting Israel first, waxing eloquent about the Constitution while never doing anything to defend the American Posterity, posturing about nonexistent principles, celebrating a capitalism that is built on a foundation of usury and fraud, and appealing to false histories and fake historical narratives, there is no reason to ever take conservatives and their gatekeeping seriously anymore.

They defend self-proclaimed democracy that violates the will of the people, enact injustice in the name of justice, proclaim an equality that has never existed anywhere, and in the process, conserve nothing. They are worse than worthless even by their own chosen measure.

And the train doesn’t care.

Revolt in Mexico

An uprising against the Clown World government in Mexico:

Several thousand people took to the streets of Mexico City on Saturday to protest crime, corruption and impunity in a demonstration organized by members of Generation Z, but which ended with strong backing from older supporters of opposition parties.

The demonstration was mostly peaceful but ended with some young people clashing with the police. Protesters attacked police with stones, fireworks, sticks and chains, grabbing police shields and other equipment. The capital’s security secretary, Pablo Vázquez. said 120 people were injured, 100 of them police officers. Twenty people were arrested.

It appears that the mainstream media is attempting to minimize the extent and intensity of the protests.

  • CHAOS is breaking out as anti-cartel Mexicans breach the security wall in Mexico City. They were spotted calling President Sheinbaum “NARCO-PRESIDENT.” This is what happens when you let your country get hijacked by the cartels.
  • Battle in Mexico City. In the main square, Zócalo, while patriots battle with police protecting the Presidential Palace. Officers launch tear gas and bullets! . Mexico rises up against Sheinbaum!!
  • The Mexican anti-cartel Gen Z rebellion has reached Claudia Sheinbaum’s presidential palace in Mexico City. The crowd has torn down the wall she built a few days ago and is now trying to get past the riot police who have taken cover in an ancient Roman testudo (turtle) formation

It would appear that the Aztecs and the Argentines are considerably less inclined to submit to Jewish rule and its idiosyncracies than Americans, who for the most part have blithely accepted the limitations being imposed upon their God-given, Constitutionally-protected rights to have an opinion about past and present events and not engage in commerce with whom they please.

Nuclear Rhetoric

The man who lived by the meme is now dying by it.

It certainly cannot be argued that either the first or the second Trump administration has even begun to make the USA America again, much less make America great again.

This doesn’t mean it was wrong, stupid, or foolish to have had hope. It just means that most men fail in the end, regardless of what their intentions might have been.

The Last Thing America Needs

John Slaughter understands what Rod Dreher and his fellow conservatives in the Republican Party and the Trump administration do not. The very last thing that America needs is conservatives attempting to “reform” the United States of 2025:

Conservatism now finds itself wedged between the left and a resurgent right, and like any cornered animal it lashes out with full intensity. We have already seen this in its readiness to destroy anyone even mildly skeptical of the Israel lobby. Conservatives have fervently used opposition to Isreal as a way to discredit emerging right-wing voices, partly because they are tied to Israel ideologically and financially, but also because it provides a useful pretext to rid themselves of right-wing voices.

The left, notably, has its own internal split over Israel–Palestine, yet it does not use that this as a tool to destroy its coalition. Conservatism does…because at the end of the day it is closer to the left than to the right. It accepts the progressive project and merely wishes to slow it, and so it views an actual right as the true threat. It also knows that if a real right ever took power, the professional conservative class be exiled. A genuine right would reverse the revolution: it would say “no more,” it would define who belongs and who does not, it would close the gates, it would revitalize heritage Americans. Conservatism cannot permit that, so it will strike the right long before it risks open conflict with the left.

This is why we must step past conservatism. If we don’t, it will persist forever as a placebo, an aspirin for civilizational cancer. It will keep saying, “We’re not the left,” and a certain portion of Americans, terrified of what the left is doing, will keep taking that sugar pill and thinking something is being done, and sit quietly while their country is looted.

As America accelerates toward a minority–majority reality, politics will reveal itself for what it has always been in pluralistic societies: ethnic politics. This reality was long obscured because, for most of the nation’s history, the population was overwhelmingly White. Only after the 1960s did the ethnic reality of democratic competition begin to surface at the national level. In a multiethnic state composed of numerous rival peoples, every bloc becomes political capital, and parties exist to serve those blocs. The left understands this and has organized itself accordingly. The right, if it remains imprisoned in the conservative fantasy of an abstraction-based nation, will be defeated. You cannot win an ethnic game by refusing to play it.

Conservatism cannot supply a common enemy, cannot supply a shared nation, cannot supply a unified faith. It cannot define what an American is, cannot name who belongs, cannot name who does not. All it can do is administer decline.

He’s underlining what John Red Eagle and I were the first to point out ten years ago. Being neither a political philosophy nor an ideology, and having no principles of any kind, conservatism is a literal guarantee of eventual failure.

That was as true in 1980 as it is now. The difference is that now, the observation is inescapable.

10 Different Versions

That’s absurd, of course, There are, at most, four Donald Trumps:

As someone who first voted for him in 2016, I can say it has been an endless cycle of “We’re so back” and “It’s so over.” There have even been single days where we cycle between the two multiple times a day.

He will make a statement saying “No more fatties on visas” and follow it up with “600k potential Chinese spies and 50 year mortgages are what MAGA wants.” An absolute rollercoaster of emotions. Some days, it seems like we have 10 different versions of him.

This is where logical heuristics like Ockham’s Razor shine. If it seems as if there are multiple versions of the man, that is because there are multiple body doubles being utilized by different political factions.

Consider the possibilities explaining the various inconsistencies and anomalies observed:

  • Donald Trump is crazy
  • Donald Trump is pretending to be crazy
  • Donald Trump tells different audiences different things in public.
  • Donald Trump is being controlled by Benjamin Netanyahu/Xi Jinping/Vladimir Putin
  • The warring political factions in the USA are utilizing different political decoys.

Now, if one considers that the use of body doubles goes back to the time of The Iliad, when Patroclus rallied the Greeks by wearing the armor of Achilles, combined with the fact that Josef Stalin and British general Bernard Montgomery are both confirmed to have utilized body doubles in the 1940s, what is the most reasonable answer to the questions concerning President Trump’s incessant inconsistencies?

Dinesh D’Souza Goes Mask-Off

There is no such thing as integration in a mass immigration context. Dinesh D’Souza is an immigrant from India who has lived in the USA for 47 years. He’s been active in Republican Party politics since his days at The Dartmouth Review and he is a fairly well-respected right-wing figure. But for all of his staunch right-wing ideology, he’s still willing to cast both his ideology and the American national interest aside in favor of his Indian identity.

Most people can’t even begin to understand how insane this is. Far, far worse than Vivek’s meltdown at Christmas. Dinesh has spent literal decades pretending to be raceblind, and railing against identity politics.

Then, when H-1B immigration starts to receive even the smallest pushback, he goes out of his way, under no pressure, literally 0, none, not even someone replying to him or talking about politics, to find a random YouTuber who is documenting something unsavoury about india, and brag that America and her future “belongs” to indians like him. He saw some people insulting indians, and he immediately dropped the mask he had maintained for decades, became an outright ethnonationalist, and started bragging that he and his coethnics will take over America.

Dinesh is incredibly prominent, and has spent FOUR DECADES working his way into American politics. For 40 years he has been telling Americans to abandon identity politics. And the whole time he was just a closeted indian ethnonationalist, disguising his true beliefs. How many more foreign-born political commentators think exactly like him? How many political commentators who are born to immigrant parents think exactly like him?

Dinesh D’Souza is literally an indian ethnonationalist who is insulting White Americans and bragging that indians will take over the USA. This should be 10x more disqualifying than even Vivek’s worst moments.

Mass immigration is the fatal flaw and antithesis of democracy, even representative democracy. Because in a representative democracy, all immigration, legal or otherwise, is intrinsically destabilizing to both the society and the political system. And in the American context, it is also specifically opposed to the very purpose of the US Constitution, which was ordained and established by its authors “to promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”.

Dinesh D’Souza is not part of the American Posterity. And his actions prove it.

A Failed Wordspell

This graphical attempt to convince Americans that the real problem with their political system is excess Qatari influence is borderline laughable in its obvious attempt to mislead the ignorant. The whole problem with AIPAC is that unlike other interest groups focused on foreign nations, it is allowed to masquerade as an American interest group, which is why its political financing is not included in the FARA numbers.

I may have made a little adjustment to the meme. The dishonesty of the neocons and their cuckservative puppets really knows no limits. By the way, the original meme about the iniquitous Qatari money was posted in response to one of the Weinstein brothers pointing out that attacking every single question, however reasonable, as “anti-semitic” or “Marxist” was arguably not the ideal way to convince the average individual of the common interests of the American and Jewish peoples.

Conservatives Can’t Disavow Me

I was never one of them. I have no connections with them. I disavowed them a long time ago, even when this site was being publicly touted by them as one of the 100 Most Popular Conservative sites on the Internet. I was number 52 back then, ahead of The American Spectator, Human Events, and American Conservative. And in 2015, I exposed the false posturings of “conservativism” as a coherent political philosophy or substantive ideology in my book with John Red Eagle, Cuckservative. This is relevant because The Tree of Woe recently considered the way in which the direction of the disavowals is now changing:

Disavowal has a long tradition on the Right. For 75 years, right-wing moderates have disavowed right-wing extremists to make sure they’re not associated with them or their beliefs. It began in 1950, when Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith disavowed Republican Senator Joe McCarthy in her “Declaration of Conscience,” leading the way for the Senate to disavow Senator McCarthy entirely in 1954.

Disavowal became formal policy in 1955, when William F. Buckley begin purging the “far right.” A prolific disavower, Buckley famously repudiated Robert Welch in 1962, Revilo Oliver in 1966, Pat Buchanan in 1991, and finally Sam Francis in 1995. Buckley’s successor, Rich Lowry, disavowed Ann Coulter in 2001, and John Derbyshire in 2012.

Disavowal reached its peak in February 2016, when the entire conservative establishment came together to disavow Donald Trump in an essay series on National Review that included posts by Glenn Beck (The Blaze), David Boaz (Cato), L. Brent Bozel III (Media Research Center), Mona Charen (National Review), Ben Domenech (The Federalist), Erick Erickson (The Resurgent), Steven F. Hayward (Reagan Professor at Pepperdine), Mark Helprin (author), Yuval Levin (National Affairs), Dana Loesch (The Blaze), William Kristol (Weekly Standard), Andrew McCarthy (National Review), David McIntosh (Club for Growth), Michael Medved (talk radio host), Edwin Meese (former Reagan admin), Russell Moore (Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of Southern Baptist Convention), Michael B. Mukasey (US Attorney General), Katie Pavlich (Townhall), John Podhoretz (Commentary), R. R. Reno (First Things), Thomas Sowell (Hoover), Cal Thomas (USA Today), R. Emmett Tyrrell (American Spectator), and Kevin D. Williamson (National Review).

In 2025, a countervailing tendency has emerged in which right-wingers now disavow the disavowers, indeed they disavow disavowal itself.

The big change, of course, is the way that the American Left and Right have both rejected Israel, its brutal war on the Palestinians in Gaza, and its increased aggression against what seems like half the countries in and around the Middle East. Despite the initial sympathy after the October 7th attacks, the subsequent awareness that the attacks were permitted, and perhaps even encouraged in the interest of justifying ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank, have eliminated those sympathies.

And, of course, the war on the Constitutional rights of Americans in the name of “anti-semitism” has unsurprisingly proved extraordinarily unpopular among pretty much everyone who hasn’t sold their souls and other body parts to AIPAC. Everyone who “fights antisemitism” is now correctly seen as being anti-American and no amount of rapid-fire rhetorical redefinitions of every single word involved is going to change that obvious dialectical truth.

But since Conservative Inc. is wholly owned by AIPAC, I think we’re going to see more and more big name conservatives rejecting the label, rejecting the posture, rejecting the premises, and rejecting the corruption, because no amount of media support and pay-for-puppeting is going to suffice to maintain their viability with an increasingly skeptical public. Calling people Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens “the Woke Right” as conservatives attempt to enforce an ever-growing set of anti-American laws, literal speech codes, deplatformings, and delegitimizations has rendered the neocolonization of the entire conservative movement obvious and politically unviable.

The appeal of conservative ideology and anti-anti-semitism is no stronger than the liberal appeal of ideology and anti-anti-racism in today’s multiracial, multireligious political world. In the post-ideological age, identity is the only game in town. And “conservative” is not an identity.

The Christian Nationalist Right doesn’t need conservatives because we have the truth on our side. Or, more precisely, because we are on the side of the Truth and they observably are not.

Cue all the moaning about “they’re trying to divide us!” To which I say: “look around you, Boomer.” They already did. There is no us.
