The new era marks the end to ‘old politics’: The Red vs Blue; Right vs Left labels lose relevance.

Even the need for transition – just to be clear – has only just begun to be recognised in the U.S.

For the European leadership however, and for the beneficiaries of financialisation who haughtily lament Trump’s ‘storm’ unwisely unleashed on the world, his base economic theses are ridiculed as bizarre notions completely divorced from economic ‘reality’.

That is completely untrue.

For, as Greek Economist Yanis Varoufakis points out, the reality of the western situation and the need for transition was clearly spelled out by Paul Volcker, former chair of the Federal Reserve, as long ago as 2005.

The harsh ‘fact’ of the liberal globalist economic paradigm was evident even then:

“What holds together the globalist system is a massive and growing flow of capital from abroad, running to more than $2 billion every working day – and growing. There is no sense of strain. As a nation we don’t consciously borrow or beg. We aren’t even offering attractive interest rates, nor do we have to offer our creditors protection against the risk of a declining dollar”.

“It’s all quite comfortable for us. We fill our shops and garages with goods from abroad, and the competition has been a powerful restraint on our internal prices. It’s surely helped keep interest rates exceptionally low despite our vanishing savings and rapid growth”.

“And it’s [been] comfortable for our trading partners too, and for those supplying the capital. Some, such as China [and Europe, particularly Germany], have depended heavily on our expanding domestic markets. And for the most part, the central banks of the emerging world have been willing to hold more and more dollars, which are, after all, the closest thing that world has to a truly international currency”.

The difficulty is that this seemingly comfortable pattern can’t go on indefinitely”.

Precisely. And Trump is in the process of blowing up the world trading system so as to re-set it. Those western liberals, who today are gnashing teeth and lamenting the advent of ‘Trumpian economics’, are simply in denial that Trump has at least recognised the most important American reality – ie. that the pattern can’t go on indefinitely, and that debt-led consumerism is way past its sell-by date.

Recall that most participants in the western financial system have known nothing other than Volcker’s ‘comfortable world’ their entire life. No wonder they have difficulty thinking outside their sealed retort.

That does not mean, of course, that Trump’s solution to the problem will work. Possibly, Trump’s particular form of structural rebalancing could make matters actually worse.

Nonetheless, restructuring in some form clearly is inevitable. It comes down otherwise to a choice between bankruptcy slow, or fast and disorderly.

The dollar-led globalist system worked well initially – at least from the U.S. perspective. The U.S. exported its post-WW2 manufacturing over-capacity to a newly dollarized Europe, who consumed the surplus. And Europe too, enjoyed the benefit of having its macroeconomic environment (export-led models, guaranteed by the U.S. market).

The present crisis began however, when the paradigm inverted – when the U.S. entered on its era of unsustainable structural budget deficits, and when financialisation led Wall Street to build its inverted pyramid of derivative ‘assets’, resting upon a tiny pivot of real assets.

The raw fact of the structural imbalance crisis is bad enough. But the western geo-strategic crisis goes much deeper than just the structural contradiction of inward capital flows and a ‘strong’ dollar eating the heart out of the U.S. manufacturing sector. Because it is bound up, too, with the concomitant collapse of core ideologies underpinning liberal globalism.

It is because of this western deep devotion to ideology (as well as to the Volker ‘comfort’ provided by the system) that has triggered such a torrent of anger and outright derision towards Trump’s ‘rebalancing’ plans. Barely a western economist has a good word to say – and yet no plausible alternative framework is offered. Their passion directed at Trump simply underlines that western economic theory is bankrupt, too.

Which is to say that the deeper geo-strategic crisis in the West consists in both a collapse of archetypal ideology AND of a paralytic élite order.

For thirty years, Wall Street sold a fantasy (debt didn’t matter) … and that illusion just shattered.

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 is the West in the ‘Anglo’ economic model that, for the most part, the economists stay paralysed in the spider’s web. There is no Alternative (TINA) is the watch phrase.

The ideological spine to the U.S. economic model lies firstly with Friedrich von Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom, which was understood to mean that any government involvement in the management of the economy was an infringement of ‘liberty’ – and tantamount to socialism. And then secondly, following the Hayekian union with the Chicago School of Monetarism in the person of Milton Friedman who would pen the ‘American edition’ of The Road to Serfdom (which (ironically) came to be called Capitalism and Freedom), the archetype was set.

Economist Philip Pilkington writes that Hayek’s delusion that markets equal ‘freedom’ and were therefore consonant with the deeply embedded American Libertarian current “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 be not 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 re-engineer the state in order to guarantee the success of markets – and its most important participant: modern corporations”.

So here is the fundamental point: The crisis of liberal globalism is not just a matter of re-balancing a failing structure. Imbalance anyway is inevitable where all economies similarly pursue, all together, all at once, the export-led ‘open’ Anglo-model.

ORDER IT NOW

No, the bigger problem is that the archetypal myth of individuals (and oligarchs) pursuing their own separate and individual utility maximisation – thanks to the hidden hand of market magic – is such that in aggregate, their combined efforts will be to the benefit of the community as a whole (Adam Smith) has collapsed too.

Effectively, the ideology to which the West clings so tenaciously – that human motivation is utilitarian (and only utilitarian) is a 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.

Paradoxically, Trump nonetheless, is of course the chief of all utilitarian maximisers! Is he then the prophet of a return to the era of swash-buckling American tycoons of the nineteenth century, or is he the adherent of a more fundamental re-think?

Put plainly, the West cannot transition to an alternate economic structure (such as a ‘closed’, internal-circulation model) precisely because it is so heavily invested ideologically in the philosophical underpinnings to the present one – that to question those roots seems tantamount to a betrayal of European values and of the foundational libertarian values of America (drawn from the French Revolution).

The reality is that today the western vision of its claimed Athenian ‘values’ is as discredited as its economic theory in the rest of the world, as well as amongst a significant slice of its angry and disaffected own populations!

So the bottom line is this: Do not look to the European élites for any coherent view on the emergent World Order. They are in collapse and are pre-occupied by trying to save themselves amidst the crumbling of the western sphere and the fear of retribution from their electorates.

This new era does however also mark the end to ‘old politics’: The Red vs Blue; Right vs Left labels lose relevance. New political identities and groupings are already being formed, even if their contours are not yet defined.

    volker and all the other vulture capitalists, have been feasting on our society, ever since the federal reserve (oxymoron) was imposed upon us in 1913, along with the unconstitutional federal income tax, (that had been expressedly forbidden by our constitution).

    this was the death of our republic and the beginning of our eternal warfare and military adventurism that has marked the corporatism, of our now full blown fascist orwellian police state. why the hell should we listen to a single word, out of the lying mouths of these banksters at the root of this all? the federal reserve mandate, is to insure full employment and a stable dollar.

    they have failed miserably in their mandate, as the dollar of today, is worth 2¢ of the dollar of 1913. they have enriched themselves in that time to the point, they lord over us as hegemons and bought off all of our politicians and government with their ill-gotten, misappropriated, and embezzled funds.

    they cannot answer the simple question of why we should have to pay them interest on our own money. this is debt slavery they have imposed upon our sleeping populace. they should all be rounded up, all of their assets seized and a forensic autopsy done, on the so called federal reserve. show me the bankster and i’ll find the crime. we need chinese style executions of the worst of their lot and gulag work farms for the rest. let them find out what it’s like to work for a living.

    their system is usury on a national basis and the greatest financial crime of all time. the chinese have a 3 trillion dollar surplus in their budget, while we have and unpayable 37 trillion dollar debt that grows by a trillion dollars every 100 days, i suggest we use their system, rather than more hocus pocus and mumbo jumbo, from these obvious criminals. in the tao te ching, it states, if a man steals a belt buckle he will swing but if a man steals an entire country he will be proclaimed statesman of the year. it time to follow the tao and to put our world back into balance.

    Why isn’t anybody talking about this?

    https://www.voltairenet.org/article222112.html

    Some prominent figures, such as former chief of staff General Dan Halutz now openly describe the prime minister as the enemy of the Jewish people and call for his arrest. …

    A group of 970 Israeli Air Force reservists, some of them retired, signed a petition on April 10 that sent shockwaves through Israeli society …

    1,525 soldiers of the Armed Corps published a document on 14 April, on the initiative of former deputy commander of the Yiftah brigade Colonel Rami Matan. Signatories include Ehud Barak (former Prime Minister and IDF Chief of Staff), Amram Mitzna (former general and leader of the Labor Party) and Amos Malka Halutz (former head of military intelligence).
    More than 250 veterans of Unit 8200, the electronic intelligence unit, also signed a petition on April 11. They wrote:
    “We join the appeal of the crews to demand the urgent return of the hostages, even at the cost of the immediate end of the war. We support and associate ourselves with the grave and disturbing statement that, at this stage, the war primarily serves political and personal interests and not security interests.
    This petition was quickly signed by more than a thousand reservists of Unit 8200. Then, 500 entrepreneurs from the sector joined them.
    1,500 veterans of IDF infantry units, paratroopers and special forces, including elite commandos Sayeret Matkal, Shayet 13 and Shaldag, also signed a petition on 11 April calling for an end to the war. They wrote:
    “We are determined to exercise our civil rights and warn against the continuation of this long-term fighting that endangers the lives of hostages, soldiers and civilians, and appears to be continuing due to political considerations.”

    • On April 14, 100 alumni of the National Security College — where top military, defense and government officials continue their education before taking on key leadership roles — signed a similar letter …

  5. This in another thoughtful price from Ambassador Crooke. But his analysis is somewhat off regarding America’s internals in two parts. It gets wrong the historical trajectory of the American economic model in two big ways. First off, while free-market rhetoric has been the public-facing ideology for decades, the actual structure of the American economy since the 1970s has been fairly centralized, top-down economic planning, just not by the state alone but rather by a sort of Big State-Big Biz-Big In-between corporatist like form, it has been a deeply centralized System that has wielded Systemic powers to do economic planning. Instead, it’s a public-private fusion: regulatory harmonization, monopolistic consolidation, national capital coordination, and cartelized sectors. Since the Neoliberal Era began, we’ve seen the centralization of government power away from regions and localities, the centralization of decision making related to the employment of capital due to things like, among other things, the elimination of interstate capital flow inhibitors, the rise of a handful of megafirms who co-govern with Washington through revolving doors, lobbying, and structural dependency, and other structurally corrupt formations. This isn’t “free-market capitalism”; it’s centralized private-sector planning, administered through institutions so powerful they shape legislation, labor markets, science, and even education. The pretense of “markets equal freedom” has mostly served as a veil for this deeply integrated corporate-state apparatus.

    Secondly, Ambassador Crooke has likely been misinformed about the actual nature of 19th-century American political economy. Far from being libertarian in the Hayekian or Chicago School sense, or even the fake libertarianism that serves as a veil for corporatist central planning like we have now, it was structurally pluralist, radically decentralized, and actually quite populist. During the Jacksonian and post-Jacksonian eras, the U.S. economy was shaped by local banks, regional tariffs, state chartered corporations, and community-driven infrastructure projects, not national conglomerates or federal economic managers. Yes there were points at the beginning and end of the 19th century where there were some power concentrations, but nothing like today. Decision making authority over credit, commerce, and development was dispersed across thousands of small institutions and elected bodies. There was no single capital market, no national planning bureaucracy (public or private), and certainly no belief in the infallibility of “utility maximization” as the sole driver of human action. Rather, Americans built systems to prevent concentrated economic power, public or private, from controlling the destinies of regions or citizens. If we want to understand what might come after neoliberalism, the better reference point isn’t Hayek or Smith, it’s Jackson, Van Buren, and the distributed democratic architecture they created

  6. Yes the party is over…its just the drunks don’t want to acknowledge it.

    The days of westerners owning massive trucks for weekday shopping and Mac Mansions filled with gaudy crap and poorly made electronic gadgets that are designed to fail faster than the batteries they hold is through.

    Maybe the West won’t be an attractive place for “refugees” to look for as an economic choice of charity, we can only hope, us native born second class citizens.

    Its over and the U.S is going to squeeze the lemon dry before they do anything meaningful.

    Ukraine continues even though the signs of a collapse are obvious, that’s why the west is so keen on a ceasefire. This grab for Russian assets was seen as a solution to the end of empire, they never considered they would lose, now its the middle-east turn to be shook down for whatever is left.

    The West has had bad leadership for so long now it will take a real big drop in living standards to sober up the stupid people.

    Both of these things can be true. The American system is not sustainable and Trump is a total retard whose “bizarre notions” are “completely divorced from economic reality.” They are not mutually exclusive. In fact, the reason Trump’s bizarre notions are completely divorced from economic reality is because he hasn’t accepted the above premise that the American system is unsustainable. He believes it can be sustained by strong-arming the rest of the world into destroying their own economies to pay the USA tribute and prop up the failing American system.

    I’d say that your description of the US economy since 1970 turns on a rather stretched notion of the meaning of the word ‘planning’. In fact, observing dispassionately, we mostly find how a lack of planning substitutes for any rational goal-directed plan. What we actually find is inertia, the push from the past, keeping it going, without much directional oversight at all.

    Where is the planning from Trump’s economic team? It’s clear they have a vague notion of an endpoint (i.e., continued US world domination), but when it comes to effecting the ‘plan’, they are making it up as they go along. Ask yourself, if the plan changes once a week, how is it really a plan at all?

    What about Biden’s ‘plan’ to regime change Russia, via Ukraine and economic sanctions? There was no ‘planning’ in that, but only incremental movement toward an imaginary (meaning, unrealistic) goal of dislodging Putin, and then having the Empire walk in for spoils.

    I suppose one could say that Israel’s Palestinian genocide has been an example of a more or less ‘successful’ plan, inasmuch as it is supported by the US, without which the failed state of Israel would have been gone, long ago. But this is not even US planning; it is simply ‘going along’ with whatever Bibi and his gang of bloodthirsty war criminals decide they can get away with, exploiting US protection (and a bought and paid for Congress).

    Contrast US short term actions (both economic and militarily) since 1970, with that of the Chinese state. The latter sets realistic goals, directs a combination of state/private entities on the path in order to attain those goals, and then every five years or so reflects on progress, making changes as necessary, all the time keeping the original plan and goal in mind.

  16. @xyzxy

    Hi, thanks for the interesting reply!!! I agree with some of what you’re saying here but in regards to USA planning and its comparison to China, respectfully, you misread the nature of what actually occurred. Even during the 1930s the USA remained a thoroughly economically, politically, scientifically, and governmentally decentralized system, then a long transformation began to occur after WW2 and by the latter 1960s/early 1970s we began a transition into a very centralized system during the advent of the so-called Neoliberal Era.

    Beginning in the latter 1960s or in the 1970s and intensifying through the 1980s and topping off in the late 1990s, the USA undertook a series of structural transformations: the dismantling of interstate capital flow inhibitors and the in-general centralization of finance both in regards to level-of-government regulatory purview and also in in-general private actor consolidation and coordination, and the gutting of independent public institutions that once channeled capital and credit into diverse regions and sectors. This was not “inertia”; it was a series of intentional and dramatic actions that verifiably occurred and it was designed to do economic centralization.

    The federal government, in coordination with large corporate actors, restructured capital flows to favor scale, mergers, and financial instruments over production. Simultaneously, the federal government repurposed its scientific research apparatus: policies like the Bayh-Dole Act redirected federally funded research outputs, once public goods, into private monopolies held by conglomerates, greatly boosting their power and in a way that is not just diminishing to the capability of most all businesses but also those very businesses being diminished are directly funding that diminishment through their taxpayer-funded research. Even deregulation, such as in the airline industry, was a centralizing maneuver: while it appeared to promote competition, it was orchestrated in such a way (e.g., by eliminating local airport subsidies and contriving route concentration) that it led to oligopolistic consolidation and geographic service centralization. And there are a bunch of other things I could mention.

    This process extended internationally. The US gov and aligned multinational firms engaged in transnational regulatory harmonization—through institutions like the WTO and IMF and World Bank to embed a particular form of global economic coordination: one in which decision-making related to the deployment of capital was held by a relatively tiny number of hands that are networked with each other, and legal harmonization suppressed regional economic differentiation. These moves, on the government side of things, were overseen by a rotating cast of technocratic elites embedded in Washington, New York, and global institutions, who along with the private sector side formed a sort of de facto central planning body serving consolidated interests. While no single five-year plan was published, the alignment of incentives, regulations, and institutional designs across sectors and borders constituted a directed system with deeply intentional, if opaque, aims. And it does what it wants and moves hard and fast if it needs to. Not much inertia beyond the many in the general population who just continue to go along with it; there’s a lot of inertia amongst them.

    But in difference to that: China from the 1980s until quite recently functioned as one of the most politically and economically decentralized large systems in the world. While the central government retained high-level strategic functions, the bulk of economic governance, industrial planning, trade policy at the provincial level, credit allocation, and regulatory frameworks, was handled by local and regional governments. These entities had wide discretion to implement localized protectionism, restrict capital outflows to preserve domestic reinvestment, and engage in experimental governance models tailored to local conditions. Far from being uniformly directed, policy in China was variable across provinces and municipalities, often generating competition between localities. This decentralized dynamism resembles, quite remarkably, the United States’ Old Republic before the rise of centralized federal and mega-company technocracy, a system where local and state governments partially controlled capital movement, designed tailored regulatory regimes, and supported a wide array of localized production ecosystems. Ironically, while the U.S. preaches decentralization in theory, China in practice, at least until the recent successes of Xi et al.’s centralization drive (but we’ll see if that holds), has wielded many of its former virtues

  17. New eras whose “contours are not yet defined” can take a long time to come around, especially since old empires don’t just voluntarily leave the stage. It usually takes an outside force, like the Goths or the Mongols, to actually push the rotting old empire off the stage. And since nuclear weapons make the prospect of total war less palatable to even the most ambitious and blood thirsty new editions of Genghis Khan, its possible that our current dysfunctional arrangements could endure for a long long time.

    Mr. Crooke is saying that since left-right (“red-blue”) politics as invented by the Hebrew-inspired French Revolution has become unviable some kind of future politics will be specified in due course, since some basis for political pretenses will always be needed.

    Au contraire! The countdown to exposure of all crimes and deceptions past and present was revealed 400 years ago, and actually theorized by the chief satanic pretender–the Hebrews–as early as 300 A.D. This means that future politics–to say nothing of present political babble–is irrelevant.

    The chief thing of interest in the question posed–why was the World created and when will it reach its destined End?–has always been the difficult problem of calculation. It involves ancient and Renaissance literature (including scripture) and ancient astronomy, plus modern physics.

    Netanyahu did not have any choice. In order to start the genocide of the Gaza people – and other goyim in Israel – he needed Hamas to commit an “enduring crime” against the Jews. If they had just killed 100 or 1000 Jews, the Israel army would have killed 1000 or 10000 Gazans and the whole episode would be finished. But Netanyahu has been killing Gazans for ages and it has not led to Israel being a 100% Jewish state, so he had to get Hamas to commit a crime that would justify an enduring war that would allow him to get rid of the Gazans once and for all; the genocide. Hamas keeping hostages enables Netanyahu to keep the war going, with lots of elite support across the west, the politicians of the west now have an excuse for supporting the Israelis.

    The people of Israel are basically arguing about tactics, they think that Netanyahu should prioritise the hostages, not the eradication of the goyim. What they fail to understand is that the war is not about hostages, the hostages are only there for the media and foreign elites, the war is about the turning of Israel into a 100% Jewish state, and almost ALL Israeli Jews support that aim. So the ojectives are not the problem, the tactics and strategy for achieving those objectives are the issue.

    Almost ALL Israeli Jews would support the genocide of the Gazans if there were no hostages – we have seen this in past massacres of the Gazans – but the Jews would not have the support of the western elites if they were to embark on such a journey. The Israelis prioritising the hostages are the ones who have lost their nerves, they are the ones who like the ends, but are afraid of the means.

    Essentially it is all politics, it is not about human rights for the Gazans; few countries (even many arab leaders) give a shit about the Gazans, certainly no countries in the west.

    You must be the quadrillonth white american to give latinos a free pass, deflecting their detrimental, cancerous effect on American society towards the blacks.

    Maybe I am the only one who sees countless examples of catholic choir boys like this shining example of the ‘All Winner’s Squad’

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/horror-illegal-accused-stabbing-mother-unborn-child-death/

    or this ‘Wetback Sir Galahad’

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/illegal-alien-indicted-attempted-murder-charge-using-box/

    So I am confused with all the white whining about the need for illegal alien deportations.

    If every-single-thing is all entirely the doing of a low IQ negro army, then why not let the Mexicans, Venezualans, Cubans, and every other sub-category of wetback stay in the good ole USA…………….

    You see, since everything is the fault of blacks, I am sure Whites will be treated most accordingly after they are outbred, and outnumbered in the ‘United States of Wetbackistan.’

    U.S. police, I mean U.S. Federales upholding law and order, free Spanish language classes so whites can adhere to the new national American language. Cartel members of course, will be much better neighbors than any darkie.

    I may be on a freeway exit selling oranges, but will be laughing my ass off at the ‘highest IQ race’ on the planet.

    Not giving anyone a pass. Hispanics are a massive welfare problem now but the fact is welfare programs were initiated primarily for blacks, not Hispanics. And those welfare programs put their uncivilized behavior and dysfunctions on steroids.

    Hamas is inherently a religious organization and merely constitutes an excuse for renewed religious war against Palestine–which is or was 20% Christian–by the Hebrews, who have been conducting terrorism and tribal murder in Western Asia in the name of their G-d Yahveh for more than 2,000 years.

    After the West Romans kicked the Hebrews out of what we now call Palestine (1st-2nd c. A.D.) they arranged from their base in Persia a counter-attack against the East Romans by King Khosrau of Persia (614 A.D.). (This was just before the Hebrews inspired the Koran and the idea of Caliphate.)

    As a result of 7th-c. Hebrew machinations in Persia, 100,000 Byzantine Roman Christians in Palestine were massacred and another 40,ooo were racially labeled and sold into slavery. Can readers now see an ancient precedent for the crypt0-Hebrew Trump Plan for Gaza in 2025?

    With Unz.Com readers in mind, we have contrived a short summary of the entire murderous career of the Hebrew followers of Moses the Sorcerer:

    Still sounds like typical 99%’er defection to me HT, especially *donning my Sherlock Holmes hat* seeing how you capitalize the ‘H’ in ‘Hispanics’ while using a lower case ‘b’ for ‘blacks’.

    Seems silly to the half-witted I’m sure, but to me, it is a clear indicator of ‘lesser regard’

    And those welfare programs put their uncivilized behavior and dysfunctions on steroids.

    True about the welfare programs, but the second portion of the above statement reveals deflection towards the blacks for something our white friend LBJ was responsible for.

    If you girlfriend gives a small 5yr old an entire cake to eat, and then the child throws up in your $500,000 Ferrari, do you make the child clean it up or the girlfriend?

    99%’er white thinking is continually askew, which is why the 1%’er Elite are the reigning champions, which in turn is why , 99%’er white babies born today, only have a nightmare dystopia to look forward to.

    Thanks Mom and Dad!

    LBJ was a crypto jew. Jews are not White.

    The ‘war’ ie the genocidal and infanticidal Gaza Holocaust must end because Western publics are FINALLY waking up to the reality of Judaism, Israel and Jewish blood-lust. THAT is the same existential threat that presaged all previous pogroms against Jews-the goyim growing sick of Judaic barbarity. Naturally, non-psychopathic Jews wish to avoid that, out of self-interest.
    The decent, human, fraction of Jewry has long opposed Zionazi barbarity, because of human decency and self-interest. The deranged Talmudists would be pleased to declare ALL humanity ‘Amalek’, so they are a lost cause, but might possibly bring Israel down, whereupon they have promised to ‘….take the world down with us’.
