Hector is tricked into combat and killed beneath Troy’s city walls. Trump might well heed the moral to The Iliad story.
Presentation at the XXIII International Likhachev Scientific Readings, St Petersburg University of Humanities and Social Sciences, 22-23 May 2025 – Transforming the World: Problems and Prospects’, XXIII International Likhachev Scientific Readings, St Petersburg
Last year in St Petersburg, I asked the question: Will the West come out of its cultural war as a more amenable potential partner? Or will the West disaggregate, and resort to bellicosity in an effort to hold things together?
Well, that was then. The ‘counter-revolution’ is now underway in the form of the Trump ‘Storm’. And the West already has come apart: Project Trump is turning America upside down – and in Europe, there is crisis, desperation and a fury to overturn Trump and ‘all his works’.
Is this then ‘it’? The anticipated revolt against ‘Progressive’ cultural imposition?
No. This is not the extent of the creeping, thunderous changes underway in the U.S. Those are provoking far more complicated political shifts. It will not be some courteous red versus blue affair. For there is yet another ‘shoe’ to drop – beyond the MAGA revolution.
The real action in the U.S. is not happening in seminars at Brookings or in op-eds in the New York Times. It is happening backstage, out of sight; beyond the reach of polite society, and mostly off-script. America is undergoing a transformation more akin to what befell Rome in the age of Augustus.
Which is to say, the main happening is the collapse of a paralytic élite order and the consequent unfolding of new political projects.
The collapse of global liberalism’s intellectual paradigm – its delusions together with its associated technocratic structure of governance – transcends the red/blue schism in the West. The sheer dysfunctionality associated with western culture wars has underlined that the entire approach to economic governance must change.
For thirty years Wall Street sold a fantasy – and that illusion just shattered. The 2025 trade war has exposed the truth: Most major U.S. companies were duct-taped together by fragile supply chains, cheap energy, and foreign labour. And now? It’s all breaking.
Frankly put, liberal élites simply have demonstrated that they are not competent or professional in matters of governance. And they do not understand the gravity of the situation they face – which is that the financial architecture that used to produce easy solutions and effortless prosperity is well-past its ‘sell-by’ date.
The essayist and military strategist Aurelien has written in a paper entitled, The Strange Defeat (original in French), where ‘defeat’ consists in Europe’s ‘curious’ inability to understand world events:
“… i.e. the almost pathological dissociation from the real world that [Europe] displays in its words and actions. Yet, even as the situation deteriorates … there is no sign of the West becoming more reality-based in its understanding– and it is very likely that it will continue to live in its alternative construction of reality– until it is forcibly expelled”.
Yes, some understand that the western economic paradigm of debt-led, hyper-financialised consumerism has run its course and that change is inevitable; but so heavily invested are they in the Anglo economic model that they stay paralysed in the spider’s web. There is no alternative (TINA) is the watch phrase.
Thus, the West is continually out-pointed and disappointed when dealing with states who at least make an effort to look to the future in an organised fashion.
The West is in crisis, but not in the way Progressives or the bureaucratic Technocrats think. Its problem is not populism or polarisation or whatever is the chosen ‘current thing’ of the week on the MSM talk shows. The deeper affliction is structural: Power is so diffused and fractured that no meaningful reform is possible. Every actor has veto power, and no actor can impose coherence. The political scientist Francis Fukuyama gave us the term for this: “vetocracy” – a condition where everyone can block, but no one can build.
American commentator Matt Taibbi observes:
“Pulling back, in a broader sense, we do have a crisis of competency in this country. It has had a huge impact on American politics”.
In one sense, the lack of connection to reality – to competency – is ingrained in today’s global neo-liberalism. In part it may be attributed to Friedrich von Hayek’s Road to Serfdom’s acclaimed message that government interference and economic planning leads inevitably to serfdom. His message is regularly aired, whenever the need for change is mooted.
The second plank (whilst Hayek was fighting the ghosts of what he called ‘socialism’) was that of Americans sealing a ‘union’ with the Chicago School of Monetarism – the child of which was to be Milton Friedman who would pen the ‘American edition’ of The Road to Serfdom, which (ironically) came to be called Capitalism and Freedom.
Economist Philip Pilkington writes that Hayek’s delusion that markets equal ‘freedom’ has become widespread to the point of all discourse being completely saturated. In polite company, and in public, you can certainly be left-wing or right-wing, but you will always be, in some shape or form, neoliberal – otherwise you will simply not be allowed entry to discourse.
“Each country may have its own peculiarities, but on broad principles they follow a similar pattern: debt-led neoliberalism is first and foremost a theory of how to reengineer the state in order to guarantee the success of the market– and that of its most important participants: modern corporations”.
Yet the whole (neo)-liberal paradigm rests on this notion of utility-maximisation as its central pillar (as if human motivations are reductively defined in purely material terms). It postulates that motivation is utilitarian – and only utilitarian – as its foundational delusion. As philosophers of science like Hans Albert have pointed out, the theory of utility-maximisation rules out real world mapping, a priori, thus rendering the theory untestable.
Its delusion lies in making man and community well-being subservient to markets and presumes that excess ‘consumption’ is sufficient recompensation for the inherent vassalage. This was taken to an extreme with Tony Blair who said that there was, in his day, no such thing as politics. As Prime Minister, he presided over a cabinet of technical experts, oligarchs and bankers, whose competence allowed them to steer the state accurately. Politics was over; leave it to the technocrats.
“The British Conservative government elected in 1979 thus decided– rather than to imitate Britain’s successful competitors to do the opposite of what they did– and essentially to rely on magic. “Thus, all the government had to do was to create the right magical environment (low taxes, few regulations) and that the “animal spirits” of entrepreneurs would spontaneously do the rest, through the “magic” (interesting choice of words, that) of the “market.” The magician, however, having summoned up these powers, should make sure to stay well away from its workings”, as Aurelien has written.
The ideas were taken from the American Left, but cosmopolitanism spread them across Europe.
“The Anglo-Saxon (now more broadly western) fixation with archetypal heroic entrepreneurs and university dropouts has obscured the historical fact that no significant industry, and no key technology, has ever been developed without some level of planning and government encouragement”.
Clearly such globalist liberal systems of ideas are ideological (if not magical), rather than scientific. And one ideology, when no longer effective, will in future be replaced by another.
The lesson here – when a state becomes incompetent, someone eventually arises to govern it. Not by consensus, but by coercion. One historical cure for such political sclerosis is not dialogue or compromise; it is what the Romans called proscription – a formalized purge. Sulla knew this. Caesar perfected it. Augustus institutionalized it. Take the élite interests, deny them resources, strip them of property, and compel obedience … or else!
As U.S. political and cultural critic Walter Kirn has predicted:
“So, looking forward, it’s what are people going to want? What are people going to value? What are they going to prize? Are their priorities going to shift? I think they will shift big time …”.
“[Americans] They’re going to want less concern for the philosophical and/or even long-term political questions of equity and so on, I predict; and they’re going to want to lay in a minimum expectation of competence. In other words, this is a time when the priorities shift and I think that big change is coming: big, big change, because we look like we’ve been dealing with luxury problems, and we’ve certainly been dealing with other countries’ problems, Ukraine or whoever it might be, with massive funding”.
What does Brussels make of all this? Absolutely nothing. The EU technocracy is still entranced by the America of the Obama years – a land of soft power, identity politics, and cosmopolitan neoliberal capitalism. They hope (and expect) that Trump’s influence will be expunged at next year’s Mid-Term Congressional elections. The Brussels ruling strata still mistake the cultural power of the American left as being synonymous with political power.
American conservatism then, it seems, is being rebuilt as something rougher, meaner, and far less sentimental. It aspires to emerge too, as also something more centralized, coercive, and radical. With many families in the U.S. and Europe skirting bankruptcy and possible dispossession as the real economy implodes, this segment of the population – now including an increasing proportion of the Middle Classes – despises both the oligarchs and the Establishment and is moving ever closer to a possibly violent response. Then the culture war will move from the public arena to the street ‘battleground’.
Today’s U.S. Administration is, above all, attached to the ancient notion of greatness – to individual greatness and the contributions that greatness makes to all of civilization.
The individual transgressive, for example, plays a significant role in Ayn Rand’s theories of the industrialist and the genius (in her novels, there is always a strong element of the outsider being this kind of criminal transgressor who bring a new measure of energy, which insiders cannot provide), political scientist Corey Robin writes.
There is, in short, a not-so-secret affinity between today’s populist conservatism and radicalism. However, as Emily Wilson in her book, The Iliad, sets out, loss of ‘greatness seldom’ is easily recouped.
One cannot escape The Iliad’s analogy for today – in which Trump seeks to recover his country’s ‘greatness’ (and in the process achieve undying personal kleos (reputation). Today, we might refer to it as one’s ‘legacy’. In The Iliad, it is definitional and gives mortal leaders the metaphorical ability to surpass death through honour and glory.
However, it does not always end well: Hector, the protagonist, also seeking kleos, is tricked into combat and killed beneath Troy’s city walls. Trump might well heed the moral to The Iliad story.

Trump is more like the Gracchi, who were tribunes of the people trying to reform Rome’s republican system, which was being corrupted by parasitical elites.
Unlike the Gracchi, Trump has so far escaped assassination. Trump is not Augustus, and we are yet to see the last days of the republic.
to see trump as augustus is to stretch the imagination to the breaking point. i see no evidence of elites being denied resources, stripped of property and compelled to obey. from my view on main street, it is the small businesses, working and middle classes, that are receiving that treatment.
trump isn’t just turning america upside down, he’s also turning it inside out, as the middle class is held by their ankles and shaken until their pockets turn inside out, with the contents falling to the floor. those contents are then vacuumed up, in the greatest upwards redistribution of wealth, since mbs decided to to clean his cousins out.
since the covid 19 bioweapon attack on the world, that mr. warp speed officiated over, almost 4 in 10 small businesses, that had employed over half the workers in this country, have been destroyed and their assets sold off to these vultures, that are now offering lone shark rates, to desperate small businesses borrowing to keep from going down the drain. you never hear of the plight of small business america on the msm, wouldn’t you think that might make a story on the evening news?
in the 5 years since their bioweapon attack on the world, the top billionaires have more than doubled their net worth, billionaires up in number overall and up more than 50% for the rest. we are told the economy is great, because the stock market is up to record levels, as they blow a huge stock bubble, that they will predictably pop, at the top of the market. the big boys will then clean out wall street yet again. they can dump their entire portfolios in nanoseconds, while the 401 k’s are sent tumbling down wiping out years of earnings in retirement funds, compounded by the fall of the value of the dollar.
that’s when the story will hit the news, as wall street is the only indicator of our economy, they care about. by then the big boys will be blowing their new cryptocracy bubble, wash, rinse and repeat, while buying every hard asset they can get their hands, on at fire sale prices. ask the russians if you want to know what comes next.
you can paint trump as some adorable, good natured, disney cartoon ogre, all you want but i think you’re missing the real nature of the beast. trump is a billionaire, pulling unlimited trump coins out of his ass and if you buy enough trumpcoin, you can win a dinner at maralago rubbing elbows with the other billionaire morlocks, feasting on the suffering of the average american.
will the trumptards ever awaken to the fact that trump is not your friend or will they feel honored, that they are invited to be the main course, at the mad hatter’s maralago ball?
A point here is that the world’s leading manufacturing nation (China) has ferocious internal free market competition. It’s on a giant scale with massive investments, wins and losses in for example microchips, batteries, EV’s, automation, solar. And there’s nothing like it happening in the US or Western Europe:
Inside Xiaomi’s Silicon Empire
Since inception (7th December 2021) Xuanjie (Xiaomi – Lei Yun) had spent a total of RMB 13.5 billion (USD 1.9 billion) in R&D expenses. Currently, the R&D team has more than 2500 people with an estimated R&D spend of more than RMB 6 billion in 2025. Aiming to design and produce the XRING O1 chip due to debut in the new Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone.

Thanks Voltarde
The Chinese leadership are engineers who set targets for national technological advancement, being more overseers of a wild example of Schumpeter’s “Creative Destruction”. Government controlled banking , intensive meritocratic education and massive infrastructure investments are harnessed to the process.
Meanwhile, Western polite society celebrates its “markets” which in fact don’t look all that free – being corrupt alliances between government and corporate/hedge fund looters.
Jefferson’s Republic didn’t survive Jefferson.
Where in the Constitution is Federal Government authorized to buy a few million acres of bug infested swampland and the its retard inbred inhabitants just because the French are having a fire sale?
Trump in the video clip recalls to me the Emperor Franz Joseph. According to my school history book, he wrote on a piece of paper his resignation. As the Austrian Hungarian Empire had disintegrated, no one noticed.
Project Trump is turning America upside down . . .
But only in the sense lib/Democrat dumpsters like USAID/DOJ/DOD, etc. are being turned upside down to empty them into garbage trucks for disposal.
Too much history-of-ideas here. I know you just can’t quit that shit, but at furcation points like this ideology is subordinate to structure. The structure is decisive in this case.
This is a failed state. That’s not a mean thing to say, that’s a term of art – the United States is unwilling or unable to protect populations under its control from the gravest crimes. It commits the crimes against humanity of systematic and widespread torture (“enhanced interrogation”), murder (“drones”), and medical experimentation (“safe and effective.”) It commits the crimes against peace of undeclared war by illegal means including sabotage of regional energy infrastructure, sending of armed bands and irregulars, banned biological weapons use, assassination of legally inviolable diplomatic personnel, bombardment of civilian populations, and measures in breach of UN Charter Article 41. It breaches what the ICJ terms the absolute sanctified rule of law on inadmissible foreign intervention. It assumes joint responsibility for Jew supremacist genocide. Through its Jew supremacist satellite state it burns little girls alive.
This is what happens when you grant a state organ, CIA DO, impunity in municipal law. The organ with impunity gains arbitrary power and inevitably becomes a criminal enterprise that corrupts and perverts every important US institution. The “crisis of competency” is a necessary consequence of state failure. Pervasive corruption degrades capacity. The failed state is trying to perpetuate itself by diverting resources from protective capacity to repressive capacity.
CIA’s Jew henchmen burn little girls alive.
So give the Oxford shit a rest. It is long past time to shitcan this failed state, whatever it takes, lynch mobs, military coups, hundreds of CIA vermin swinging in the wind, nukes. The CIA impunity regime has got to go.
It was never about Liberalism vs Ethno-Nationalism.
It was about Ethno-Nationalism vs Ethno-Imperialism.
The West is Ethno-Imperialist. It invokes phony ‘liberalism’ to push the agenda of Jewish Supremacy.
Americans are morons and buffoons. Stunningly stupid people. This explains a lot things. Mostly Anglos are in severe denial and delusions.
Rome was never carrying 45,000,000 niggers.

Exactly right. Thanks.
Imho – viewing the real situation clearly is something the people in the U.S.A. want to do. They not only like their illusions, they worship them.
The snake oil salesmen and women are having a field day bilking the taxpaying fools that love living the lies!
The world’s problem is not a “liberal paradigm”. It is a ruthless mafia empire. Purely for self defense it’s time for the global community to obliterate Israel. Not just the state of Israel, but the larger “Nation of Israel” that spans other states.
Friedrich “BlackRock” Merz, Emmanuel “Rothschild” Macron, and Kier “City of London” Starmer are ramping up their attack on Russia, attempting to assassinate Putin and launching strikes deep inside Russia. The evidence is overwhelming that Ukraine has long lost the war with Russia, but these men are continuing to ruin their countries by sending more billions into the Ukraine embezzlement machine. The people of these countries need to eradicate these deadly traitors from their midst
The Jewish Mafia behind them decrees that Ukrainian men will continue to be sent into the hail of Russian artillery. This blatant, extreme waste of Ukrainian men can only be seen as intentional ethnic “cleansing”, paralleling their ethnic “cleansing” of Palestinians.
The Jewish Mafia would rather go down in a blazing Samson Option than surrender and face justice. It’s time to grant them their death wish.
Similarly in America, the Jewish Mafia must be rooted out and destroyed. Their Senate capo Chuck Schumer, and other Senate traitors like Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton, would be appropriately arrested for treason, convicted, and hanged.
Mafia media monopoly outlets like ABC, PBS, etc need to be broken apart and thoroughly cleaned of Israeli traitors. These media criminals play an essential role in deceiving the American public and enabling the evil wrecking of America – of its economy, its culture, and its relations with countries around the world.
The FBI must carefully vet every single employee and agent. Polygraph tests should be used to assess their loyalty to Israel. Because the FBI has been deeply corrupted for decades. For example, JFK aide Kenneth O’Donnell was in the assassination motorcade. An FBI agent later interviewed him as a witness. O’Donnell said he heard shots from up ahead, toward the grassy knoll. The FBI agent advised him to leave that out of his testimony. He said it didn’t fit the other evidence and would impair the investigation. A distraught, trusting O’Donnell went along with the FBI agent’s advice. O’Donnell was haunted by this for the rest of his life.
WHY would a ground-level FBI agent try to suppress evidence on the JFK assassination? It only makes sense if this FBI agent knew that evidence would contradict the planned official story, and had instructions to safeguard that official story. There is no other plausible explanation.
So if the Deep State was placing their men as FBI investigators back in 1963, just imagine how thoroughly they could have infiltrated the FBI by 2024. In one of Kevin Barrett’s interviews his guest mentioned overhearing two FBI agents on American soil conversing in Hebrew. So there could be a lot of Jewish Mafia enemies planted deep in the FBI ranks. The bug-eyed fear on Kash Patel’s face when he recently declared that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself is further evidence of this deep control.
In pure self-defense American must bring down the hammer on these diabolical, deadly enemies. No more falling for their weepy proclamations of Jewish victimhood. No more backing away from their indignant ranting about Israel’s “rights”. It’s time for those cheap ploys to be called out and destroyed. The evidence is overwhelming.
It’s time for people like Steve Bannon and Mel K to stop pretending the evil globalist bankers in the City of London are Chinese, and tell their deluded, duped audiences that they are Nation of Israel. It’s time for Trump to bring the hammer down on Israel and start the roundup in America.
The situation is more complicated than the city of Troy. It’s time for Americans and Europeans to revolt against the Jewish Mafia’s Empire before it takes them down in flames.
I have to agreemost in part with Rashid Bolsen on his FirstNation YouTube channel. Trump was put in to basically dismantle America. I did actually see the episode of Oprah way back when asked if he did run for President in the future what party would he join. The man did say the GOP and he did call GOP voters dumb. I did vote for the Orange man in ’16 but was rather disappointed at his performance. Ever since his tariff craze, I have had a sneaking suspicion that he was a “plant” that would hijack the GOP, and ruin it for good. If we do enter into a deep recession or even depression, conservatism will be the number one casualty. Bolsen just might be right.
I see the West as having one big problem above all others. It is the refusal to recognize that it is inherent in the geopolitical structure of the world that different orders of life prevail in different areas.
What was colonialism (especially its later 19th Century iteration), really, except an adventure based on the idea that, ultimately, all people everywhere could be raised to a level where all could live under the same order of life? With all of the racial caste and economic exploitation inherent in colonialism, underlying all was nevertheless the idea that all men (i.e. all nations and all people) eventually and in the end could be made the same?
Then there was Wilsonism, encapsulated in the Fourteen Points. Wilson’s world policy proposed to accomplish the raising of all men through diplomatic means. If all were given Nordic democracy, all would become Nordic in their culture, horizons and conduct.
This idea pretty clearly has failed to the extent that no one really believes that there is any means to bring the rest of the world up to Nordic standards.
Then there is another little idea I have been thinking about. One of the reasons why the Europeans got into so much trouble in the era of the world wars is that they failed to recognize the applicability of the American experience to their own situation. First of all, they failed to see the future of warfare in the military experience of America in the American Civil War. Rather, they saw the experience of the Franco-Prussian War of 1871 as representing the future of warfare. Big power warfare would lead to a quick result, low casualties, and little destruction of populations and infrastructure.
Then there was the American experience in dealing with the black African. The issue of slavery in America led straight to an apocalypse of Biblical magnitude. With the vivid example of the American Civil War right behind them, the European set right off on the Race for Africa. What did the race for Africa lead to, or what at least followed it? World War I followed the race for Africa.
America’s downfall in the 21st Century us traceable to America’s response to the 9-11 attack. If America had frankly and openly conducted punitive warfare against the perceived perpetrators, America might be a stronger and more unified country today. Instead, the university-educated class talked about feeling and image and the country as a state actor pursued a policy of spreading Nordic democracy and building nations. The foundation of this world policy was still the Fourteen Points.
The only way America can save itself right now is to recognize that different orders of life prevail in different places and that nothing can be done about it. Saliently in the moment, maybe it needs to be recognized that a different order of life prevails even in Eastern Europe than what prevails in Western Europe.
One top of that, the West needs to declare what belongs to the West. My thought is that the line is at the location of the southern border of the American state of Pennsylvania. Speaking of not paying attention to the American experience, didn’t 19th Century America instinctively know as much, and know that a different order of life had to prevail south of that line? They softened and diffused the blow by calling that line the Mason-Dixon line. But they knew. All on both sides knew.
In Europe, the same line runs through Spain south of Madrid, goes across the Mediterranean Sea east-west and lands at the site of ancient Troy. You declare the line, and you say, our order prevails on our side of the line. Is asking for Europe and North America north of the Sunbelt asking too much of the world for the European race?
Yesterday’s SpaceX explosion perfectly illustrates the West’s current predicament. The immensely expensive—supposedly elite—scientific project, riddled with corruption from top to bottom, has once again exploded midair due to technical failures. Similarly, the American (Western) rules-based neoliberal order is doomed to fail unless Trump halts its current trajectory. He must uphold his MAGA promises by first dismantling AIPAC’s influence over America and then nationalizing the Federal Reserve. Failure to do so would hasten the collapse of the American era.
Once the U.S. accomplishes these two primary tasks, it must then—in cooperation with Russia, China, and regional partners—establish a Palestinian state based on the 1946 UN-recognized borders. Only by restoring the U.S. to a “normal” nation can Americans hope to revive their dying industrial economy and regain their place in the international community.
Comparing Trump to Augustus is ridiculous. Trump is unhinged. Either he is badly informed or he is a moron. Probably both.
“What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD,” Trump said on his Truth Social network on Tuesday. “He’s playing with fire!”
Medvedev responded with
“Regarding Trump’s words about Putin ‘playing with fire’ and ‘really bad things’ happening to Russia. I only know of one REALLY BAD thing – WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!”
‘no significant industry, and no key technology, has ever been developed without some level of planning and government encouragement” — some Frenchman quoted by Alastair Crooke
How’s that workin’ out for statist France? It strode the world on stilts … two hundred years ago. Now its PM gets bitch-slapped by his
momdadbrotherformer teacher. And this is supposed to be our model?Who knew that Emily Wilson wrote The Iliad? I thought some old Greek guy wrote it. Maybe that was just my acid flashback or something.
What’s amazing is that Crooke is permitted to travel to St Petersburg, into the very den of Putin. Shouldn’t he be arrested and interrogated upon his return?
That was a good video with the Judge and Alastair – Trump can’t make a real deal in regards to Russia , no Presidents are allowed to because they aren’t in charge and the Russians know this. Their talks with the West are just for looks and the talks are history now, since there is nobody in the W H powerful enough to make a Deal. Trump talks his shit and lies for the public because the public hasn’t known the truth for decades about – anything. Therefore, he will will look Great Again since the majority of the American people know nothing, except what the Neocon/USG controlled TV and papers have told them.
Years ago, I figured the easiest way to start getting the country back was by going after all the media liars in each town and city you live in . This is easier than heading to Washington, since you can stay home and nail your TV outlets, newspaper outlets , and all the other institutions in your community/region. Just a simple action but these regional, very important media stations are critical with destroying the USA. I commented for months one year – not one comment back so I figured that most people in the US are just too lazy to even try – to save their own ass.
Arlo Guthrie I think wrote it , Willie sang it – That train to New Orlans
Good Morning America, How are Ya , ” Where did ya Go “?

No one much discusses the only -ism that explains the problem America presents to the world. Which is: exceptionalism.
What does it mean to be exceptional? It means a lot of convenient things. You can practice, support, exploit, or condemn any other -ism that satisfies you – since intellectual rigor and coherence can be excepted from your concerns. You don’t need to obey any international laws, and can extend that privilege to outfits you favor (Israel). You get an exception from accountability. You get an exception from reality. You can decide that no one else gets any exceptions (because you are excepted from consistency). Inductively, you are more valuable than others because you are exceptional and therefore rare, and if rare you are precious.
Exceptionalism is the essence of Americanism. It trumps all other -isms. To the world, the American mindset is pathological and mendacious, and if exceptionalism could be excised from what corresponds to their brain, Americans would become harmful only to themselves. But they will never let go of exceptionalism – it is not just collective delusion, it is their founding national mythology.
Trump chickened out on telling the American people that the premise of MAGA is all wrong, because “great” is code for “exceptional”, and Americans are neither and never were. They are just addicted to self-congratulation.
when shall you stop those aggressive wars and ethnic cleansing for the other. We’re all brothers even if it’s against your racial theory.
We are all leaving this world
We’ve seen the unbelievers of God’s mercy sent, and their hearts of stones with useless stubborn minds and how they gathered to fight truth arrogant about their fake strength, for force without morals is mean tyranny. Adopt peace before you leave this world . Adopt peace now before your promised hour. .. there .. hope is truth.
Promise
Have you killed all Arabs defending their lands, and Moslems defending truth; And are you about to terminate most those wars against truth preparing for the final big one; had you spent enormous money and did utmost plans for those wars of fiefs; Good news , Eslam and the nation of peace are prevailing for Gaza’s sake and martyrs not from river to sea but from the pacific to the Atlantic. More you kill, more it extends .
Trump is Tiberius ‘..with a telephone’, as Whitlam tragics will recognise.
I saw a vid of a Chinese primary school. The children work hard, and get lessons in trades like sewing, carpentry and cooking, even preparing their own meals. After lunch, their chairs stretch out and they have a siesta under blankets. The West doesn’t have a hope, thank God. Eugenics can also mean aiding EVERY person to reach their full potential, NOT just sterilising the ‘inadequates’, as is, typically, the Western approach.
Don’t let your disdain for the Trumps cause you to miss out on Bitcoin.
(Not financial advice, just my opinion.)
Even though the Trumps are promoting Bitcoin, it’s not a Left vs Right investment. I think they want people to think it is, so that the Left and those that don’t like Trump will miss out on making some financial profits.
It seems to me that Bitcoin is going to continue to go up in price, and the Trumps are helping through their investments. They are raising $2.5 BILLION to buy Bitcoin.

Yup. This fact is why the future belongs to Russia and China. Add in the malign influence of the Jewish and female elements of Muttmerica and Russian and Chinese success is assured.
I believe you meant to say: “…something the people in the USA do not want to do.”
It’s becoming apparent that Francis Fukuyama’s *End of History* didn’t end with the Cold War and (Neo)Liberalism becoming the de facto governing principle moving forward. It was a False Eschatology that blinded the Boomers with hubris.
Currently there is a Metapolitical War occurring between The Left/Right itself where the fog of war’s perceptibility is completely invisible to the older generations (i.e. they just can’t see & think in memes (Post-Modern references/Ontology)).
The World Mind/Organism will not persist schizophrenically; it will choose/determine a side as “correct”.
It has a Will to Judge.
If you want to compare Trump to a Roman emperor, try Caligula. At the very least, Nero.
Yes, by the design of the public school system and the university system. They teach that you are good, regardless of what you may be doing or desiring at the moment.
Knowledge of the past or of the consequent future are never taught. Neither tragedy nor caution in the face of tragedy are introduced, except for the coming global heat wave. Nothing could be more stupid or moronic.
The ancient Greeks would be appalled.
Analogs to Rome are useful but what is sorely needed at the moment is an un-memory-holing, if you will, of the world-historical Sad Story that is the three and a half decades since the signal events of 1989-91.
To think in terms of lost opportunities isn’t the half of it. Under Strange and Sinister Obama, the worst of the worst, foreign and domestic, knew they had no choice but to go big for perpetual power. The groundwork had been methodically laid so that anyone who was anybody didn’t blink an eye when Obama declared in 2016 that the opposition party nominee was “unfit.”
His “our democracy” monstrosity wasn’t anything new. You see, while most everyone celebrated the collapse of Soviet communism, the “don’t throw the baby out with the bath water,” impulse took hold just as it had after the collapse of Nazi Germany. With China’s rise, Western elites dreamed of the easy street that was The Party in control. Under Obama, they made it rather clear they would settle for dominion under the CCP as its local overlords.
Per The Law of the Conservation of Energy, it cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred within a closed system. The same holds within politics/geopolitics at the commanding heights.
Consider this an elucidating extension of Nietzsche’s “Out of life’s school of war—What does not kill me makes me stronger”. I’m referencing Trump, of course. The man survived everything the anti-Trump alignment has thrown at him. Yet with his triumphal return, those who have been wrong and failed over the last decade still think they’re going to start, let alone win, a civil war.
A thief and genocidal ASSASSIN, trump, pardoned another thief and criminal.
Shame on America and those gullible americans who voted for a Jewish mafia pimp and a thief.
The Jews took a relatively middle road nation after WW II and turned us into a pile of liberal shit. White elites in their senseless arrogance defy any societal good. America is now the place to come for crooks, crazies and perverts.
Too dismissive. The reason this is a failed state is precisely because of the history-of-ideas that led us here. Yes, the jews are complicit, everyone knows this and no one is saying otherwise. But the jews have been merely capitalizing (literally) on the failures implicit to the liberal ideology. Liberalism, as Burnham stated, is the ideology of suicide, and in embracing the fantasy and falseness of liberalism the west is committing suicide in real time. This is part of the author’s point – the west doesn’t see reality. Liberalism arose from modernity, and there has been a long line of critiques of modernity that are necessary to understand, including counter-Enlightenment thought and phenomenological critiques. Alastair is undoubtedly familiar with this line of reasoning, and his analysis is apropos.
Laughable–another Huffington Post invader on UNZ– no doubt all for the Ghey/Tranz Agenda while blathering about Trump being Caligula…not all Clowns are in the circus
You know nothing of the case –even the corrupt Federal Leftist Activist “”judge” stated the Biden Feds violated the Constitution in illegal behavior including warrantless search but ofc allowed it–these “judges” selectively railroad people whose politics they don’t like while giving a pass to those on their “side” as we see all the time –
Like with FISA FBI frame artist Clinesmith who should have got 20 years but Boasberg gave him probation and he’s back as a lawyer in a Leftist DC Law Firm now. The J.6th trespassers were slammed BLM rioters were given a pass and big pay outs….It’s laughable you are so misinformed and full of TDS you post this – the judiciary is weaponized one way and it’s great to see at least a few of these weaponized cases nuked finally–gfy
I’m not sure what you are saying here, but a related issue is that abortion, at least at an early stage of pregnancy, must be legalized. I remember a couple of Steve Sailer’s articles on how Jews managed to diminish the incidence of Tay-Sachs by foetal screening. I only find it strange that Sailer, a Catholic, didn’t raise an objection to it.
The only minor disagreement I would have is with the comments on Graham’s tariff proposal. The 500% is not on Russia, it is on any country trading with Russia. Little, unimportant countries like China, India, Turkey, …
Every time you think things cannot get more stupid, they do. This probably will not go into effect, because it would crash the World economy. The country least affected would probably be … Russia.
“ since the covid 19 bioweapon attack on the world, that mr. warp speed officiated over, almost 4 in 10 small businesses, that had employed over half the workers in this country, have been destroyed and their assets sold off to these vultures, that are now offering lone shark rates, to desperate small businesses borrowing to keep from going down the drain. you never hear of the plight of small business america on the msm, wouldn’t you think that might make a story on the evening news?”
Superb observation.
Except that this not only an American phenomenon but a Western one. Germany is where the assault on the middle class has exceeded all the abuses you mentioned for in addition to the Covid lockdowns, the Germans lost cheap energy with the U.S. destroying there Nord Stream pipeline combined with closing all nuclear energy and imposing a trade embargo on Russia. Small businesses bore the brunt of these idiotic policies with the German economy recording its third year of economic contraction. And the rich German entrepreneurs have started moving their business abroad.
If Trump is what he pretends to be he would impose a ceiling on credit cards’ rates that would not surpass 300 basis points over the ten year treasury rates. This is the minimum that he can do to combat the usurious rates that allows for the level of exploitation by the financial parasitical elites that preys on people’s suffering. And some establishment gatekeepers would cry foul for this is interference with the free market, never mind that rates have barely been subject to market forces with the FED manipulating them in favor of the well to do.
Their “soft power” is bankrupt so they are getting rid of the expensive and obstructive liberal unicorn fart in preparation for a return to iron age morality and naked predation. And of course it will be fully racist this time. The zeitgeist in the West is heading that way – a general existential and extermination conflict between Whites and “non-Whites”. I expect this to happen within two generations at most. The prelude is already happening in the Middle East.
Did Trump preside over the 9/11 inside job which funneled ever more of the nation’s resources towards the totalitarian, Marxist-Zionist entity (“Israel” and “the Jews”), or did the Judeofascists and their Judas Class stooges?
The same bunch presided over the covid atrocity.
If people want to get the broad context of what’s really going on in this pseudo-“nation” and pseudo-“civilization”, they can read this relatively short article by Richard Cook, which explains exactly how the “Merchant of Venice” took the warped, sadistic, psychopathic usury racket global, and is using it to extract its pound of flesh from humanity. It mentions the 9/11 inside job, the covid inside job, and hell of a lot more, going all the way back to Shakespeare.
It’s not a pretty picture, and neither is the required Moses-Christian final solution; not pretty, but, again, required — if human civilization wants to survive.
Maybe it doesn’t.
The Z man has good insight on this.

US was conceived as an agrarian community isolated from Europe. The 1861 War turned it into a centralised state favouring the industrial North.
40% US land area was purchased.
US allowed personal ownership of mineral rights unlike Europe. This created an Oligarchy unlike any other elsewhere.
Whatever US dreamed of being in 1776 was nostalgia by 1861

The Jews aren’t merely complicit, however; they are the vanguard of virtually every assault on the American way of life and have been for a century and more. The recently released correspondence between Brandeis and Frankfurter makes it clear these Jews were seeking to undermine America from the time of their correspondence in the late 1920s.
Prior to 1947 every Supreme Court decision bearing on religion held that it was the essence of America’s civil comity, yet in a dissenting opinion that year Frankfurter declared that religion, meaning only Christianity, was the chief source of violence and strife in American society. The Court has followed this Jewish bastard’s flimsy reasoning to this day.
During the 1950s every one of the atomic spies hoping the USSR would nuke America, but for one woman, was a Jew. During the 1940s when American soldiers were still coming home in coffins, having died in battle in the belief they were saving the lives of Jews, Arthur Miller penned his only novel, Focus, that portrayed Americans as all Nazis under the skin. More recently, Philip Roth was awarded this country’s highest literary award by Obama for Roth’s autobiographical novel, Portnoy’s Complaint, because in it the Roth character masturbates to the thought of “shtupping” little Catholic school girls in their uniforms, not because, as Roth put it, the sex would be any good, but as a way to f**k America’s Christian fathers.
Then there’s Hollywood . . .
Not all Jews, but the Jews. Not only Jews, but almost always only Jews taking the lead.
‘If Trump is what he pretends to be he would impose a ceiling on credit cards’ rates that would not surpass 300 basis points over the ten year treasury rates.’ — Joe Levantine
Every deadbeat a prime borrower!
In the world of bonds, each lower rung on the credit rating scale carries a correspondingly higher premium over Treasury rates.
Artificially limit those premiums, and credit simply will be withdrawn from those sectors.
No one trust the gullible trumpists where you are one of them. Trump is not only a thief but a traitor. He has pocketed billions of dollars from MBS and UAE and has freed Jewish criminals from the prison for millions of dollars. You better to shut up and do a little bit of research with an open mind, not as a trump supporter. Death to Jewish mafia members and its extension in Washington DC.
You are PETTIER than that to deny that Trump is a traitor and a thief. This is not his first time to pardon to benefit financially, here is another case.
Durin his first term, Trump pardons number of Jewish criminal for MONEY. In addition, during his first term, Trump pardoned at least one Jewish individual convicted of tax-related crimes: Charles Kushner, his son-in-law’s father.
You better study Trump’s criminal action of pardoning the criminals, or perish.
Yes indeed! The any POTUS has very limited power because he is not a sovereign even though, in Trump’s case he pretends to be. The POTUS is a power-broker who juggles powerful factions some of which can end his life whether you are talking organized crime or the “intel community” who will kill anyone who opposes them if they have as they have in my lifetime. Real power, as Mao noted, comes out of a barrel of a gun. The gun, sword, bomb, drone, fist or whatever always has the final say. Why this should be something most people in the West will not and seem unable to grasp is beyond me even though movies and videos show this truth constantly.
Trump is trying to rally some coalition through his posturing in hopes he might win powerful forces over to him none of which are benevolent but some may be at least somewhat interested in the welfare of humanity–I believe Trump and some of the people around him mean well for the American people and the world. Their job is to divide and begin to break up the Deep State networks that have dominated US political life since 1963 from what I can see they are failing. The Deep State has all the power of the gun–however, the effort will have an effect along with the rise of non-mainstream narratives floating around on YouTube and social media–not that they will redefine power quickly but they will create an atmosphere that will spur dissenters within the Deep State (particularly in the tech field) to upend power relations within the empire and use a change in public opinion to change the balance of power in a direction they want. Machiavelli made it clear that princes cannot rule without public support even if they have all the levels of power. In today’s world state-power is delicate and must be handled with great skill as we’ve seen Putin do for the past quarter century.
From the article:
We keep hearing from the US how great its economy is and how its economic growth is the envy of the world. The reality is that for at least the past 20 years, the dollar value of the country’s fiscal deficits has been greater than the value of its economic growth. For example, real GDP growth was 2.8% in 2024, and the deficit that year was $2.1 trillion. So a $30 trillion US economy grew by $840 billion but its government debt eclipsed it by $1.27 trillion. The helium holding up the US economy is growing amounts of government debt – not private investment. What happens when inflation comes back, through implementing tariffs and interest rates rise?
The left, the old school left was always more tolerant, a friend of labor and anti-war; unlike the lickspittle ‘Right’ who conserved nothing other than the ever expanding power of the jew oligarchy.
Anyways, since the left was the only possible stumbling block to absolute control it naturally had to be subjugated, diverted, and tarnished – and it was. Now it’s a parody and FULLY as controlled by the same controllers of the Right. Two wings, same bird.
And if you, friend, are cheering for either wing you’re hopelessly complicit. The war is over, and everybody with a clue realizes all the action is simply stage maneuvering, kayfabe for the placid cattle and jackasses mooing and braying as they watch the show.
The real entertainment is watching the retard class as they twist in the wind (from a safe distance, naturally; this inhuman filth, willfully stupid, can be quite dangerous in the same way a mob can be – prone to lash out, and destroy with capricious abandon) and paw the clay of their cages in impotent emotion.
I highly recommend just sampling the idiocy around you for its pure entertainment value.
Have you been following the Biden crime family and the use of the autopen? The Clinton crime family (Marc Rich) or the Bush Cheney corruption ring? Do you really think its worse now?
It is a trait of the young to see things through a modern day lens when in fact nothing is new.
i’m so glad the kremlin is calling trump “infantile”, because that’s exactly what he is. he’s thinks he sounds all rough and tough, like some kind of mob boss, but he just ends up sounding stupid.

then of course, the kellogg frosted flake, calls medvedev “reckless” and his comment “unfitting of a world power”, lol, talk about being totally clueless. he then demanded a russian peace memorandum, like he’s in any position to issue demands, lol. bless the russians for their decorum, in not laughing in their stupid faces.

What has happened to US Elites, the Real Rulers–call them what you like–is what happens to ALL Elites. They have been so insulated and overindulged and so protected regardless of their total incompetence their stupidity and cluelessness only gets worse as time goes on. A true Elite never is held accountable for their mistakes and stuidity so these two traits get worse as time goes on. You can call it Supreme Arrogance combined with Total Incompetence. When this Elite stupidity gets bad enough the Billionaires move in to exploit a Golden Opportunity–for them. Gates, Bezos, Musk to name just three. How does this all end? Not well.
I’ve got those disappearing railroad blues.

36, sigh. Linus, Linus, Linus. Explain to me how liberalism led to CIA impunity and compartmentation. These are the primary organizational features that permit this failed state to survive.
Impunity is an atavism, a reversion to what thinkers liberal or not have been bitching about forever. Before Rousseau. Before Hobbes. Even before Tacitus, in more fatalistic terms, the fucking ring of Gyges for fuck’s sake.
The result of impunity is transnational organized crime. It’s not a liberal ideal, it’s just fucking great to have when you want to rape hot babes or whatever. And compartmentation is the adaptive response of organized crime to countermeasures inter alia rule of law. Compartmentation is a criminal revolution precisely analogous to the industrial revolution, not division of labor but division of guilt, an equally inevitable innovation.
Your charming yen to find the reason for everything in prior rationales ignores system-theoretic factors. Impunity has emergent properties. First, the organization with impunity gains arbitrary power. The organization then becomes criminal – you would too if had 20 different get-out-of-jail-free cards, you’d dine and dash, you’d rob that liquor store, you’d whack that asshole.
Development goes into reverse. Every institution is corrupted. But blindness to structure makes you attribute everything that happens to character or beliefs or personal stuff like that. Like ideas. The structure worked just fine with the ideas in Biden’s vegetable brain. Too much Great Man shit at Oxbridge and the Ivies, you got to let that shit go.

Summarizing
Jewwwwwsssss
the west has lost the ability predate the rest of the world with impunity and now they turn on their own citizenry. when their biological war on china failed due to china’s quick response to covid, their attempt to overthrow xi failed. they then went on to plan b, war in ukraine, to trap russia in an unwinnable war, destroy their economy and finally overthrow putin and balkanize russia.
both of these shameless attempts at overthrowing the governments of their two largest competitors, shocked them and opened their eyes to the level of animosity of hegemon. this brought russia and china together, along with iran and korea, something that seemed impossible just a few years ago. the deceitful nature of the west had led to their expedited demise, of their ponzi economies and paper tiger military alliances.
they totally screwed the pooch but now unfortunately, we will pay the price, as we are all they have left to predate. as an anonymous tipster has told me on comment 27, the trump’s are raising 2.5 billion to pump into bitcoin. remember the great sucking sound ross perot spoke of? well this time it’s going to be the value sucked right out of our bank accounts, as they destroy the dollar and jump into cryptocurrency and start their new pump and dump scams. i guess it’s called cryptocurrency for a reason.
“Trump is not your friend”? Really? How profound. Which politician is your friend? Which politician isn’t shaking down the middle class? What is good about Trump, and the real reason the left hates him is that he’s not hostile to the White population. He actually likes White people and their history. No, he’s not “racist”, he’s one of those “colorblind” republicans, but he favors merit and isn’t hostile, that’s as much as you can hope for in a politician.
Also, profoundly lazy as well – and proud of their ignorance. Never been easier to find a read enlightening and even suppressed information but you’d be lucky to find 1 in 1,000 that have read anything of substance in the last year.
Trump is an insane zionist puppet and is a clone of the insane Roman emperor Caligula, and is doing his messianic Chabad zionist satanist controllers bidding, which is a nuclear armageddon, which the messianic demons hope to destroy all Gentiles and muslims and have this world to themselves.
Trump converted to Chabad messianic zionism in 2017 and as such he signed on to the messianic Chabad cults plan to destroy the world and this is what they are doing , in front of our very eyes. These demons believe that they will survive the nuclear exchange in their DUMBS aka deep underground military bases that they have throughout the ZUS and Israel and the ZEU and that they will emerge to a world of their own, this is their plan and they are working on it, as we speak.
Not to be pedantic, but that was Emperor Charles, rather than Franz Joseph, who had died about two years earlier.
We live in interesting times. With the invention of the Internet, and for first time in human history, Elites have begun to lose complete control of The Narrative, which is the institutionalization of the friend/enemy distinction.
Their might – power, position and influence – may no longer equal certain right. The loss of the ruling narrative may thus bring into question the integrity, and thus legitimacy, of the Elite’s whole regime of divide and control.

It is the rejection of liberalism dark side by those not in the bubble that is bringing down the walls.
Many in the third world embraced the ideas of liberalism because they could see it had potential compared to the situation they found themselves in, so many of today’s success stories in the West are from immigrants, and this is a reason why immigration is still high to the West, even though the West doesn’t need the people, because the immigrant is a deciple of liberalism and keeps the show on the road, just look at the leadership of Tory Britain to see this.
But liberalism also produced endless wars and eventually those who didn’t have the corrupt connection to get out of the third world rejected liberalism because all they ever saw was the bombs and sweatshops.
In the bosom of liberalism, in the West, the great unwashed may have received the material benifits but they also received the waving finger and were told they were bad people because they adhered to cultural traditions and the family, so a program of atomization of the family was put in place by using minority groups and preying on the minds of women due to their sense of compassion, now we have minority views and acceptance of fringe sexual orientations as the predominant religions, it has ripped the heart out of cohesion.
The West is in a sick and sorry state, there are so many forces tugging in opposite directions its only a matter of time before everything is ripped apart, the usual solution of a world war is trying to be invoked by the western elite to save themselves but countries like Russia and Iran aren’t biting, the elite are making themselves look more and more ridiculous every day…and that makes them dangerous.
We are in very troubling times but many in the West live in a fantasy, a matrix in which they know something is wrong but prefer to live the illusion.
what makes you think your friend trump, likes white people and their history? where did you get the idiotic idea, that he favors meritocracy? he is the ultimate privileged, nepotistic, silver spoon, legacy, nothing. he has no talent other than conning idiot magatards into thinking he’s your pal and that he has your best interests in mind.
here let me help you with your struggle.
he actually likes zionists and their murderous history. yes, he is a racist and one of the many genocidal zionist politicians, that favor themselves and their zionist masters. he is completely hostile to any that don’t favor genocide and there is no hope, as long as idiot magatards can’t see this.
this is the real trump derangement syndrome.
Yes.
Prof. Revilo Oliver (1908-1994) divided the American experiment into three eras: 1) The first American Republic, created by the one and only civil war in our history, 1775-1783; this Republic was governed by the Constitution from 1789 until 1860, when it was destroyed by the Northern war against the Confederacy. Had the Confederacy seceded peacefully, the US Constitution would have governed a much smaller nation, but the Constitution itself would have remained intact. 2) The second Republic, 1865-1932, was created by the victorious North. A vicious “democracy”, incompatible with the Constitution, was created. As Dr. Oliver stated, the boobs were told the document had been preserved, when in fact the war had shredded it. 3) The Ochlocracy; founded in 1932 and still in effect, this government is a vassal of Jewish interests. Elections are staged for the sake of Whites, who are (by their consent) taxed to support their racial enemies, and who are mollified by stories of the bloodthirsty tribal deity Yahweh. Strange to say, an itinerant Jewish rabble-rouser called Jesus is also worshiped as a god.

I guess you don’t pay attention to what he says, or what he does. From ending DEI in the military and government jobs, to investigating schools that discriminate against Whites and offering asylum to the Afrikaaners, as well as countless other actions, if you refuse to see how that’s better for White people (and everyone else) you’ll never be convinced.
Trump is way too left wing for my liking, but he’s the better devil and his policies are better. I don’t follow men, I follow policy. No cult of personality for me.

Totally jealous: wish I had come up with that.
Right: when you are addicted to looting, and those you have been looting unexpectedly pull out a Magnum .44, you don’t know to do anything else: you start victimizing and looting your own.
Pres. Putin said in one his speeches a while back, that the 500 year Western Vampire Ball is coming to an end.
America was largely absent, until recently, but European powers – Spain, Portugal, England, France, the Dutch, et. al. – had been looting the rest of the world for centuries.
To wit: just recently, French colonizers were refusing to leave Burkina Faso, and they* tried to depose or assassinate their president Traoré . They were “legally” stealing Niger’s uranium at discount prices: they wrote the colonial “agreements” with colonized Niger, allowing the French to loot Niger’s natural resources.
The Perfidious Albion went to war against China to force their government to push opium to their Chinese people.
For mercantilist profit.

The death of the West is the work of its so-called ‘elites’ (self titled ones as nobody except them think they are elites).
Just have a look at the collection pathetic clowns, psychopaths, criminals, idiots and incompetents in power in Western Europe: Starmer, Macron, Merz, Vonder Leyen, Sanchez, etc.. etc..
Never mix Europe with the so-called “EU”, the totalitarian project that replaced the EUSSR when it died from the same evils the “EU’ will die from.
The dwarves with zero legitimacy who have been installed in power through rigged elections and fraudulent systems are pushing hard for a world war with Russia as they have no other policy to offer than destruction, the policy of their puppeteers. They are incapable of creating except tyranny and evil, so they destroy.
This is the answer from Russia:
‘If They Strike With Taurus – Russia’s Next Target Will Be German Military Facility’
https://sputnikglobe.com/20250528/if-they-strike-with-taurus---russias-next-target-will-be-german-military-facility-1122146019.html
“Giving Taurus missiles to Ukraine’s terrorist Zelensky regime—and their use against Russia means Germany is officially at war with Russia. For the 3rd time [in history], Germany becomes a world war instigator.”
Regardless of whether Ukraine’s Taurus strikes are intercepted or hit targets, Russia’s task is to “retaliate with 2 Oreshnik complexes — medium-range ballistic missiles carrying 12 hypersonic warheads in total, conventionally armed.” “Such a strike would target the missile production plant in Germany for total destruction.”
“If Ukraine continues using Taurus missiles against us, the next German military or industrial facility will be destroyed. We do not want war, we want peace. But under the UN Charter, we will act in self-defense.”
This is how Slovakia answers the STASI regime that controls the “EU”:

Which was being corrupted by parasitical and genocidal Jewish elites.
On a related note, It’s pretty amazing how this big picture analyst of the West can completely leave out migration. Its unprecedented scale and the indiscriminate selection of who are to be the New Americans, Europeans, etc, shows the main goal is to uproot the old civilization.

It seems that Jews have developed a large number of genetic diseases due to early consanguineous marriage.
In my research on drugs, I found that most of the customers of the rare disease drugs that sold well were Jews and European nobles, or a mixture of both.
Cystic fibrosis, Fabry’s disease, hemophilia, etc.
What is rather interesting is that these so-called treatments for rare diseases are often packaged as little success stories of saving a life at the expense of a large amount of research funds from national sources.
Especially the funds from NIH.
I checked Steve Sailer. Although you said he was a Catholic, I doubt whether this person is a potential Jew.
Although he seems to be a white racist, he appears to be advocating the superiority of Ashkenazi Jews.
NO MORE exclamation points for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What people need to understand about american and british is that so called “germanic” amerocan and british are all global imperialists, slave owners, users, manipulators, who are all pro-war. What american and british might not want is loosing a war and not winning, but as long as they think they can and are winning, they will always support a war. That is why the problem will always be sick and inbred genetics of american and british themselves.
American didnt opposite the war in Vietnam, Iraq etc. because they were somehow “moral”, but because they were and are loosing every war. If you want to make all american and british support a war, you make them think that they can win the war and they will suppport the war and the empire. American and british empires, well as strong governments have and are bringing so much benefits to normal american and british that they will always support them.
American and british will only stop what they do until they will be completely eradicated and wiped out for good with legal means. They will not stop before that. They are not going to let go of their empires by themselves and stop using others, because thats what they have always done and thats the only thing they know how to do to this day.
JFK and RFK were the Gracchi brothers of the American republic.
Thanks IG. You are correct that is what I meant to say.
Worshiping your illusions is one of the many problems that human beings have. It is a trait that the grifters and con artist exploit to the fullest.
It’s how Ukraine is working out.
IMO the summer 2023 counteroffensive was a historic turning point.
The full force of NATO built up in Ukraine since 2014, using supposedly game changing modern equipment and sophisticated command and control was expected to crush Russian forces and end the war. In fact it tuned into a major NATO defeat – which was unimaginable up to that point.
Since then NATO has been falling apart through their found to be inadequate and insufficient equipment, lack of funding and the US moving on to the Middle East and Asia. The Russians are steadily advancing and clearing up the Ukraine mess while the “Europe” project itself is starting to look politically and economically unviable.
There is nobody left to wield the hammer you’re asking for. All the major institutions of state and society are owned, operated or coopted at this point.
That’s true of every single western nation and quite a few non western as well. Almost every country that matters has been infiltrated and coopted.
It would require a literal burning down and rebuilding. That’s not going to happen. People are going to take the path of least resistance.
What even normal american and british are scared of is loosing their empires, of slaves and vassals nor working for them anymore and feeding their fat and easy, highly invidualistic lives as slave owners. They need to control the narrative, view of history, controlling schools, books and information etc., so that people around the world will not learn correctly what crimes they have always done, that real history was completely opposite, that they have always been the terrorists, robbers and murderers, who are not against drug trafficking and raping children with blackmailing operations, as long as they will not be publicly connected to doing that, so that they can wipe their hands clean.
Starting at the sentence,
“In other words, it’s not your money, it’s our money.”
and then the following paragraph is of such huge significance that it simply can’t be overstated. What we are going to face is the most diabolical system of governance ever seen in the history of man. These bankers however, think it us the solution of the worlds problems being oblivious to the deceit and deception they are in by that thing who said to Christ,
all the kingdoms of the world are mine and i can give it to anyone i want …so if you will only bow and worship me all will be yours.

and here is the exciting part Yahweh gave us the knowledge to know what’s coming and why.
“ well this time it’s going to be the value sucked right out of our bank accounts, as they destroy the dollar and jump into cryptocurrency and start their new pump and dump scams. i guess it’s called cryptocurrency for a reason.”
That would be open and declared war against 90% of the American people. Yes they can blow the value of bitcoin to many hundreds of thousands of USD. But Bitcoin is not a proprietary currency. Should high inflation or more substitution of Dollars for Bitcoin debase the value of the Dollar, what would happen to American consumers whose consumption is being financed by America’s foreign trade partners to the equivalent value of the trade deficit courtesy of the Dollar’s hegemony. This is a high stakes poker game by the upper 10% that could backfire when angry citizens lose their capacity to make ends meet.
Americans have taught me to judge matters by results rather than by intentions. No matter how sincere Trump’s promises to support America’s working class, if he does not get done with the big foreign policy concerns vis a vis Russia, China and Iran to reach world peace, all of his promises will be nothing more than a pie in the sky. Both Kennedy and Nixon moved against the deep state and ended up paying dearly for their intransigence, one with his life and the other with character assassination, but both will be eventually honored by a great historic legacy. I hope that a megalomaniac like Trump would take note.
While I agree with the gist of your argument, I cannot see how reducing credit card debt rate from the upper teens or the lower twenties to a more logical 7.5 % to 8 % would affect the credit rating of bank bonds. They would sure be making less profits but that should not affect the quality of their loans in a different way from what it is today, unless we consider that the exorbitant credit card loans’ rate to be justifiable with respect to risk/return.
If private banks cannot lower those usurious credit card loan rates, let there be a public bank that issues credit cards with debt limits based on a strict analysis based on total monthly income.
After all there is a precedent with Napoleon promulgating usury laws in his Napoleonic Code ( Code Civil does Français, 1804). The law set a maximum of 5% for civil loans while leaving some freedom of deviation with loans agreed upon by contract. The law sought to prevent exploitative lending.
King Edward I of England banned all usury after he expelled the Jews from England in 1291 and the English people enjoyed easy living until the laws against usury were abolished by King Charles II who succeeded Cromwell.
But then Trump is neither Napoleon nor King Edward I.
You raise some excellent points, and I agree with you. Please understand that I am not exonerating the jews, and I am not saying that they don’t have a special place of responsibility. This is Unz Review, after all.
But the issue is far deeper and longer in our history than merely the 20th century. The very origin of our nation was based on Enlightenment principles and modern liberal theory. The rot was set in on Day 1. Our country was founded in a fundamental error.
But in truth, “it” goes back further than 1776. The Enlightenment arises from out of the rebelliousness of the Reformation… and the Reformation out of the progressive movement of the scientific revolution. This turn towards modernity is many hundred years in the making, and it bedeviled brilliant philosophers like Husserl and Heidegger, who recognized that something fundamentally false arose with the advent of modernity.
To this end, liberalism is just the most concrete manifestation of this fundamental error – a particularly virulent aspect, but it is folded within a broader rejection of reality. It has taken me decades to appreciate that the “it” in question has always been a rejection of the Catholic Church, something that neither Heidegger nor Husserl ever really considered, which I think is why their phenomenology project ultimately failed.
At best, our nation was founded on Protestant Christianity… but really it wasn’t. The Founding Fathers were deists or atheists (not much difference there!), and their dedication was not to the reality of God, but to the rationalism of the Enlightenment and the natural sciences.
The role of the jews has been woven throughout this history of ideas. They were involved at all levels (Protestantism, scientific rev, Enlightenment, etc) as the jews have ALWAYS identified the Catholic faith as enemy #1. Christianity was so deeply ingrained in the western mind that it was only in the 20th century that the jews could get the upper hand (especially after WW2).
“…For the 3rd time [in history], Germany becomes a world war instigator.”…”
FYI, Germany NEVER instigated any war. If you know better please write your evidence here.
Mind you I do not expect the truth about WW I & II to come from Russia or any mass media.
agree with you joe, on russia and china. you know it, i know it and believe it or not, i think trump knows it. i have stated my opinion on a number of occasions, that i see no way of fixing this broken country without some kind of outside help or intervention. what you describe is imo, the best possible outcome and would make sense in terms of sanity. if we did live in a sane world, this would be the logical conclusion, perhaps consensus drawn from the existing circumstances we are facing.
it is self evident that the entire western zioneocon demon empire, is becoming unhinged, everywhere you look, throughout the “golden billion”, their leadership is behaving, in evermore desperate and bizarre manners. from orwellian informational clampdowns, to cancelling elections and entire political parties, if the people vote in the wrong way. the mask of “liberal western democracies” has fallen, shattered and can never be replaced.
my biggest worry is that trump, failing to find a solution with the other two superpowers, will resort to plan b. destroy the dollar, destroy the debt, use cryptocurrencies to protect the wealth of the 1% and buy up everything, using their magical tulip coins, that can easily be converted into cash at the current rate of exchange. think weimar republic, but instead of using foreign currency to buy the country, using cryptocurrency, that has no allegiance, to any country or flag, is accepted world wide, is unsanctionable and anonymous.
look who is in charge, buying bitcoin and playing with the stock market like it’s a yo-yo. i don’t like the signs, if your scenario doesn’t pan out, we are looking at hard times as a nation. i’m really rooting for your sane, rational way, winning out, as the obvious and only solution to the economic ponzi scheme/house of cards, that is built higher every year.
it might be a long shot but realize, the russians and chinese are actual business men, i don’t think they would want to see the western world collapse into a financial blackhole, as we are a pretty big market and connected to markets all over the world. it would be good business sense, to prevent that from happening. so i guess, we’ll just have to plan for the worst but hope for the best, as it’s not really in our hands.
We might end up with this scenario, which would then turn Trump into Sulla. This would require Trump to go full WOKE RINO, start to proscribe dissent, and then start rounding up his enemies.
Here is my opinion what Russia may do when NATO-Europe push too far and recklessly endanger Russian citizens or physical plants or cities:
For Europe: 4 to 5 missiles hit NATO HQ. Totally destroyed with little collateral damage.
For Europe: 4 to 5 missiles destroy EU HQ. Totally destroyed with little collateral damage.
For the U. S: Sinking of an aircraft carrier; support vessels optional. Obliterating any of the 837 American military bases around the World.
This is meting out pain. “When you give pain, you get pain. A new paradigm and dictum. Up to now Russia has been using mild responses, entreaties and verbal warnings.
These responses may come sooner than expected. These are actions that can be done on Russians lunch break.
There will be ONE LAST WARNING BEFORE THE RED ANGELS FLY.
see that’s just it, i do pay attention to what he says and does (unlike you) and he never does what he says. you trumptards chalk it up to that mean old deepstate, that makes him surround himself with neocon handlers. he wants to make peace in ukraine in 24 hours but his zioneocon babysitters won’t let him, so he has to threaten putin, like some junior high school punk, telling him he’s playing with fire. sure looks to me, like he’s the child playing with matches.
you see, he’s just another richy rich, living in his comicbook world and even though he does nothing but suck israeli ass, you’re happy with the great job he’s doing, of making america great again and making every american look like an idiot, in the eyes of the rest of the world.
you don’t care, because you think he’s doing a great job, as he destroys all the small businesses and drives the middle class into debt slavery, at the hands of his bankster scum, billionaire friends. you must be another richy rich yourself, because if you’re not, you’re too stupid to realize what he and the other billionaire scum, are doing to your beloved america.
After lunch, their chairs stretch out and they have a “siesta” under blankets.
Siesta? When did the Chinese embrace Latin culture monkey man?
Who are the “neo con” handlers in the current Trump administration? Name names, provide facts.
@HdC
You are right, Germany didn’t initiate WW1 or WW2, they were rather the victims, but this is not the point. The phrase “…For the 3rd time [in history], Germany becomes a world war instigator.”…” comes from a Russian media, not from the commentator.
The point is that the people who were pushing for WW1 and 2 are now pushing Russia to trigger another global war. They did the same to start a war with Hitler last time.
We don’t need to name them i guess. Cucks like Merz, Starmer or Macron are serving them against their own populations.
Candace won’t give up.
who said trump isn’t a neocon, you magatard? when will you idiots realize, this reality show host/wwf manager isn’t real, you probably bet on pro wrestling.
I would take exception with the Franco-Prussian War 1870/71;
the partial reunification of Germany would have forced France´s
(who regard “the division of the German nation as a vital Right of the French”)
hand in any case but for purposes of public opinion (and to hoodwink the Germans
into accepting a Prussian emperor) Bismarck desired the French “fire the first shot”.
(Odie told me Bismarck was a Serbian so ah well 🙄)
Well, the French fired the first shot when they invaded Germanic territory 40 times over the previous 400 years.
I suppose the French were aggrieved that they were no longer able to murder and pillage at will the various small political entities that made up the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nations. (300 of them as of the early 1800’s).
Imagine the bloody nerve of those Germans! The ruddy cheek of them to unite and become a formidable force able to resist French and British aggression!
Filibustering with word salad and insults doesn’t prove your point dumbass.
Name names… Provide evidence. Your “opinion”of Trump and his cabinet has zero value.
I do love morons!
find someone in his cabinet that isn’t a neocon, you retard. when did marco rubio stop being a neocon, give a time and place? prove what you say, right? how about general frosted flake, when did he stop his neocon ways. neocons are zionists you fucking moron, are you john johnson’s roommate?
That’s right. They were – in common parlance – “played”, by Jew Know Who. And they STILL are unaware and remain bent over for the big wurst. The big difference between the Juden and the Tschermans was time in planning, event horizon, and marshaling resources along that timeline. Germans just react to the latest, whatever knocks on their door.
Almost all the peoples of the West are not cognizant that their own country is NOT sovereign but under the control of the International Kosher-led Private Equity, centered in the City of London and Wall Street. That’s why new, various government policies happen at the
There are some push backs, but they can be considered a sop so that the saturation point of rebellion will not precipitate. However, if these are considered [+], they still will be outpaced and out numbered by[-]. IOW, overall conditions will continue to deteriorate until societal breakdown and collapse.

But… I’m WHITE! Jokes on you.
An interesting article, as Alastair Crooke’s articles invariably are. Like a drunken bar patron, America with it’s huge ego, will have to be forcefully thrown out of the bar, if the other bar patrons are to enjoy any sort of peace. Hopefully, before the deluded drunk is allowed to reach for his trusty all-American gun, which served him so well in the past.
Read Mein Kampf.
Hitler dealt with the very same ‘Deep State’ that Trump is dealing with. The unholy alliance of Gentile elites and Jewish activists.
Ya man – especially in Ukraine and Russia, where I used to take the Trains and still do take one now and them.
