We inhabit the legacy of late liberal internationalism. This post is about what that means, and why it is important to understand what remains of the dissolving globalist grand strategy as we move to restore sanity, order and dignity to our lives.

It should take you about 7 minutes to read.

DEBT AND DESTRUCTION

When the Soviet Union failed first, the US-led liberal international system declared victory. This intoxicating “unipolar moment” saw the escalation of wars and revolutionary social change towards a goal of complete global dominance which then seemed within reach.

Three decades later Western nations are typically bankrupt. France, Britain and the United States have enormous national debts, for example. These debts have been magnified by financing the constant expansion of the bureaucratic-administrative state, by the wars fought to expand the dominance of liberal-globalism, and the costs of the policies pursued to standardise belief and behaviour across the world.

These debts cannot reasonably be repaid by the debt-issuance consumer model, whose economies now rely on financial and other services to inflate their nominal GDP.

With dwindling manufacturing, heavy industry and resource exploitation the West has a ponzi-scheme economy secured by articles of faith. These articles are called “markets”, and the fact this system is animated by belief is demonstrated by the disconnection between the real price of, say, oil, and its market listing. A second dimension is the necessity of maintaining the belief in the ability of increasingly insolvent governments to make their repayments, which is reflected in the bond markets.

This debt has been accumulated by the economics and politics of the mass destruction of civilised life.

BOLSHEVISM AND LIBERALISM

Both Bolshevism and Liberalism are atheist materialist systems which reduce to an economic remodelling of the nature of human being.

The policies of the Bolshevists and of the Liberals are based on the idea that their economic model can supply the means for a meaningful life. The politics is produced by the economics. Since the Soviet Union failed first, liberal consumerism plus periodic elections was said to be the verdict of history pronounced on the management of human affairs.

Both economic systems are of course managerial, bureaucratic and driven by their ideology - which is a belief system, and translates through cultural propaganda to a state religion.

The liberal consumer economy is animated by a form of popular occultism: the mobilisation and packaging of human desire in order to change the perception of reality according to the will of the production team.

The value of life is replaced by price, and so we see life terminated at its beginning and end as a matter of cost and convenience. This is presented as the exercise of rights, which, being progressive, must inexorably become ever more extreme. This extremism in every case, from the racial to the sexual and so on, degrades and destroys the values of our civilisation until all we have to rely on is the ethical calculus of the ruling cult.

In reality the ruled face devaluing currencies combined with rising taxes and prices as the quality of every product and service goes down. This is a fool’s bargain, and it is not fooling everyone anymore.

COVERT REPRESSION

The CIA was founded in 1947 and one year later George F Kennan announced the “inauguration of organised political warfare”. The legacy of the mobilisation of mass consumer culture to neutralise counter-liberal currents and secure the full spectrum dominance of the liberal belief system is that three letter agencies continue to suppress nationalist movements in Europe to this day.

Britain’s SIS - known as MI6 - is led by a woman of Ukrainian-Georgian heritage. The perpetual enemy of the liberal-globalists is not only the peoples they rule but Russia.

Despite being allied with the Soviet Union during world war two, the Soviets (and now the Russians) were and are a competitor power outside the liberal system, and so must be assimilated by force and subversion and sanctions and so on.

This is another legacy of the cursed 20th century. Migrants from the former Russian empire have had an extraordinary interest in the regime change business, which has also changed our regimes at home into what they are today.

THE ACTIONS OF FACTIONS

The US State is now irrational, in the sense that it is not unitary in its actions but factional. The actions of these factions are antagonistic. The foreign lobbies which dominate US political administration sponsor policies which contradict the interests of the American people.

The CIA is directing attacks on Russian refineries whilst the White House seeks to buy the fuel produced by them to ease the energy crisis resulting from this and other wars.

European liberal states are also pursuing policies against the interests and even the survival of their nations, which are their peoples. The mass migration which threatens the future of these nations in any meaningful sense has been magnified to its current scale by the foreign wars launched to “defend” and extend the power of “liberal democracy”. Dissent from the programme and its programming is punished by censorship and unpersoning.

A COUNTERFEIT CULTURE

Why do we suffer a counterfeit mass culture?

Your religion, culture, history, traditions and demographic security must be destroyed in order to secure global hegemony. This is why our popular culture produces a counterfeit of all these things and more.

This popular culture includes education, takesmiths and thought leaders, the news, ambient advertising, and the terms and conditions of online and offline life - such as in the workplace. It is a form of idolatry, being the mandated reverence for a series of verbal incantations intended to displace the public perception of the changeless nature of reality and being.

This is done to present the changes produced by the permanent change cycle as normal - which is to say to normalise the revolution by which our civilisation, religion, history, traditions and peoples are being replaced.

AGAINST HUMAN DIGNITY

It is a matter of human dignity to preserve your independence from one controlling power or another. Economic independence or resilience - such as being able to own a home or practise a trade that cannot be replaced with cheaper migrant labour - insulates your dignity from the demands of the corporations and the unions alike.

If you would like to read more on how the promised liberation from limits under liberalism destroys human dignity - see here:

The political economy of liberalism replaces human dignity with dependence.

The ever expanding bureaucratic adminstrative state constantly extends its intrusions into the policing and redefinition of every aspect of our lives.

Its terms and conditions corral its populations to dependence on its economic model, penalising independence. The Lanyard Class - its army of apparatchiks - rely on the State for their career and status. “Welfare” dependency is a lifestyle and not a charitable rescue from misfortune.

Beliefs are supplied in this way, too. It is hard to wean oneself off from dependency, and this helps to explain why so many of our people still cling to bizarre and self destructive beliefs supplied by the liberal state. To detransition from this spiritual diet of delusion is intimidating and also carries the threat of the social (or even actual) death penalty, which means you can be demonised, marginalised, debanked and even murdered for daring to contradict the forced consensus of counter-sanity.

We have all had enough of this immoral blackmail.

This is universally injurious to human dignity, is a sin, a crime, and an obvious form of evil in making social and economic survival contingent on the obligation to submit to lies. To be an acceptable person is to acquiesce in them, to be a good person is to celebrate them, and to promote them professionally is to secure a well paid sinecure.

ENDGAME INSTABILITY

This system is more refined in its technique of power than ever before. Its propaganda is in your consumer choices, which circumscribe your freedom.

Yet the system is breaking down. It is breaking down because it has been able to act without restraint in its own interests for decades. The empire of lies is being undone by the mismatch of its beliefs and narratives to the reality this cult has created.

It is fenced in by its own conditions, which have replaced control with collapse. This is visible abroad, with the collapse of Israeli and US grand strategy in the Middle East, for example, and in the proxy war against Russia for the globalist EU/NATO faction. Collapse is coming home for these bad actors.

So far, there have been no meaningful consequences for those who have committed these vast crimes against their people, such as the imposition of toxic “vaccines”, the opening of the migration floodgates, and the identification in the public mind of the acme of human liberation in politics with permanent war at home and abroad.

This is plainly not the best of all possible worlds.

The wars are now being recognised as serious electoral and economic liabilities. The factions whose fortunes depend on them are becoming visible. The remnant international interest will not admit defeat. It will not go quietly.

It will double down, and therefore fall faster.

The inflexible chauvinism of the internationalists makes them blind to any beliefs but their own - especially when those beliefs are true. The truth is manifestly obvious today, which means the tension between the factions in the State are going to become more prominent. This reduces to a conflict of interest between ruler and ruled. When things come to this point, and become current in public opinion, there is a crisis of political legitimacy.

WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT FOR?

The Liberal State does not discharge its duties, which are basically to provide security, prosperity and meaning to its people.

The liberal state is internationalist. This is one reason it is incoherent. The other is that its core beliefs cannot be reconciled with a sane reading of reality.

This means it will inexorably produce more social, moral and financial collapse.

I think this is where we are now, and I think the process by which most of its subject populations realise this cannot be halted or reversed.

The factions of these international actions are tearing our lives apart. Their dream of global dominance is over, and so their model, its machinery and all its malefficiency is obsolete. The explanations it supplies increasing resemble alibis supplied at a crime scene, rather than a reliable account of the nature of things.

There are no answers to the crisis we inhabit from within this system, whose mythology is mass deception. Every day, fewer people believe in the fairytales supplied by the 20th century, into whose cartoonish frame every misfortune created by this dispensation is forced by the Fourth Estate management.

The question begins to form: what is our government for? What does our politics produce? Who pays for it? Who sponsors the messages we recieve about the world. If the economy sees us as disposable here and everywhere - as a matter of its own survival - are we willing to be binned so its line can go forever up?

Our lives are packaged, priced and impoverished by an international death machine.

The globalist economy is not for but against us. This means we are governed by our enemies. The war is at home, and this is obvious now after a century of mass deception. From the depths the call of our origins as peoples and a civilisation is resounding through the ruins we inhabit. Globalism was the future once.

Tomorrow belongs to us.

There is more to life than the obscene scenes on our screens. Do not despair.

Here is a poem by TS Eliot which you might find as touching as I do.

I am going away to Fatima today for the LifeSiteNews Rome Life Forum

I shall return next week, God willing, to produce more propaganda in defence of civilisation against barbarism.

God bless you all and have a blessed Sunday. The empire of lies is breaking down, but you are not obliged to break down with it.

WILL TRUMP NUKE IRAN FOR ISRAEL?

Donald Trump has been pressured by Netanyahu to relaunch the war in Iran with a devastating strike. For weeks, analysts such as , and have said Trump’s promise of a brief and decisive attack signals the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

Yesterday, Tucker Carlson published a long summary of this dire situation.

So far the chatter has been that Trump would wait until after tomorrow’s midterm elections - and after the Israeli elections - to do so.

ISRAELI ELECTION - DEADLOCK OR BREAKTHROUGH?

The Israeli Knesset (parliamentary) elections took place on October 27th. Neither Netanyahu nor the Israeli Jewish opposition won enough seats to govern.

The Arab parties did exceptionally well, winning 19 out of 120. Netanyahu has tried to have the election annulled, alleging “foreign interference” - a charge which is not supported by Israel’s domestic intelligence service, Shin Bet.

It looks like the opposition leader and author of the “Dahiya doctrine” Gadi Eisenkot will now unite with the Arab parties to form a government, in a breakthrough arrangement which would deliver 67 seats out of 120 - passing the 61 needed for a ruling majority.

Today, hardliner Avigdor Liberman said he would support an Eisenkot government to prevent Netanyahu remaining in power - and despite Eisenkot’s apparent willingness to work with Arab parties in order to govern.

Eisenkot has said Israel must be rid of the “October 7th” government, and is determined to launch an inquiry on Netanayhu’s role in failing to prevent the attacks of which he was forewarned in detail.

Netanyahu running out of options

President Trump was said to be backing a “unity government” - in which Netanyahu would remain PM for two years before stepping down with a pardon for his financial and political crimes.

Netanyahu has now abandoned talks to create this unity government, as no one is willing to unite with him to form it.

Netanyahu urged the head of the Israeli army to attack Iran in the runup to the election - but the head of the IDF refused to do so.

The move would likely have improved Netanyahu’s prospects in the election. His political technique has relied on war to secure him in office. Threatened with certain criminal prosecution when he steps down, he remains caretaker PM until a government is formed or new elections are held.

Israel faces serious challenges at home, with its wars failing to produce the desired results in Iran and in Lebanon. It is politically divided, seriously unstable, its military overstretched and exhausted, and its international position is terminally toxic.

Israelis recognise that the international perception of their actions including the terrorism in the West Bank have alienated Israel from its former Western partners in crime, to whom any so called “alliance” with Israel is now an electoral curse.

IRAN WAR: A DISASTER FORETOLD

Netanyahu has been calling for a US war on Iran for almost five decades.

It was not launched by any US President until Trump, as intelligence and military reports showed it would be a disaster. And it is.

I warned when the war was launched that it would be a disaster without limits, and now it is rumoured the nuclear limit may be breached - by the United States.

Practically everything I said then has now been confirmed. The protests in Iran were a Mossad operation.

The murder of the Supreme Leader and the assassination of negotiators has made the US agreement incapable.

Around two dozen US regional bases have been severely damaged. US security guarantees have become liabilities to its former partners in the region, whose map will probably be redrawn in the aftermath of this war of choice. Will the US and its security liabilities be part of that picture? Probably not.

The attempt to replace diplomacy with financialised bribery has also failed, and further escalation threatens to collapse the global economy itself.

The war has already spread to Saudi Arabia and Yemen, endangering a second global supply route through the Suez canal, and promising further regional escalation.

US war costs are now being reported in financial terms, too - with reports from Congress saying American operations consume between one and two billion dollars every day.

The US has spent $135 billion so far on the Iran war according to War Costs:

In Iran, US and Israeli bombings have galvanised an Iranian population which would have likely liberalised in the absence of a nationally unifying 70 day war undertaken with no discernible benefit to anyone, including the Israelis who urged it.

This time the Iranians have stressed there will be no restraint in their response.

If this means they will strike desalination plants and energy supplies in retaliation, the Gulf states will become uninhabitable - potentially unleashing a wave of around forty million migrants into Europe as the global economy disintegrates. Food shortages and even famines may follow if the supply chain out of Hormuz is obliterated.

This is a strategic defeat for the United States and a nuclear strike would make the once leader of the free world a global pariah.

It is interesting to note how Germany’s Blackrock Chancellor Merz applauded the launch of the US/Israeli war on Iran.

Merz is an EU globalist, of course. This is the sort of grand strategy he pursues in the interests of that agenda - a disaster without limits.

TRUMP WAR PLANS “INSANE”

It is perhaps for this reason Senator Chris Murphy described the US attack plan as “insane” on October 30th.

Murphy also said the US government was covering up the costs of the war and the damage to US bases in the region.

Days after his statement Murphy was hospitalised - having reportedly suffered a stroke.

A report from The People’s Voice notes Murphy is expected to make a full recovery.

The likelihood of a recovery from insanity by the Trump administration remains contested.

For example, according to Lord Miles the Taliban are convinced there will be an invasion of Iran1.

Yesterday’s news did offer some hope that insanity will not prevail, as the Iranian Foreign Minister announced the revival of the Iranian proposals to end the war, first presented months ago, to secure a deal to end (or suspend) hostilities.

Today, Reuters reported the deal is “being circulated”:

JUDICIAL COUP IN POLAND?

This week saw what has been described as a judicial coup in Poland, carried out by the pro-EU globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

In an alleged violation of the constitution Tusk sent police to barricade Poland’s highest court whilst the rightwing Catholic President Nawrocki was flying to Senegal.

Nawrocki turned his plane around to return immediately, issuing a statement online to this effect.

His plane was denied permission to land according to reports, with his military pilot disregarding the order.

Nawrocki appeared at the protests surrounding the court and forced his way into the building, despite several liberal judges trying to bodily prevent him.

Allegations have been made by Polish members of the Sjem (Parliament) that some of the police preventing them from entering the courthouse were supplied by neighbouring Germany.

It is possible that Tusk and some of his judges will face criminal charges. Here is a reasonable summary of the events and the long term planning which is said to have produced them.

On November 1st it was reported by the globalist outlet The Economist that Tusk “used riot police to get his judges seated”.

This is the same constitutional court which declared Tusk had attempted a “coup d’etat” on October 31st. The coup centres over Tusk’s attempt to appoint EU and globalist aligned justices to Poland’s highest legal authority.

Within a day Nawrocki issued a statement accusing Prime Minister Tusk of “political blackmail”. As this report states, Poland is in a crisis of political legitimacy: whose judicial authority decides what the constitution rules?

Will that be the globalist PM or the nationalist President?

It appears tha the liberal internationalist EU is openly resorting to authoritarian subversion of its own “democracy”, whose nature is simply being revealed by the regime’s incapability to continue to manufacture belief in its system. Mask off.

UK MOVES TO REJOIN THE EU?

With seemingly exquisite timing the former Chancellor Rachel Reeves said this week that Britain’s future was within the EU.

As riots spread across the continent, and reports emerged of the judicial coup in Poland, the Prime Minister of Slovenia listed some of the failures of the EU’s now visibly authoritarian (and arguably doomed) regime:

RIOTS ACROSS EUROPE

Riots broke out in France which were said to have been orchestrated by the leftwing LFI - a party whose leader promotes the replacement of old Europe with the “new Europeans” his activists mobilised into looting and violence.

Riots were also seen in Belgium, Italy, Spain and Germany this week - as migrant looters combined with native Europeans outraged at the soaring cost of living produced by the liberal internationalist permanent war economy.

Europe faces a decision - remigration or riots, as I explain here:

REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY

Renewed calls for the British to apologise and pay reparations for slavery were met with a decisive response from ’s Rupert Lowe.

The racial grievance industry is coeval with the technique of liberal democracy - which is the manufacture of public opinion through cultural dominance and production.

Zora Neale Hurston died in poverty and obscurity. The lifelong race grifter and communist WEB Dubois died rich and famous. The narrative of the perpetual resentment of White people and the resulting insoluble racial antagonism is a product of the grievance industry, presented as liberation, by the liberal system.

If you would like to know how this business model brought us to this point, you can read my series on the manufacture of discontent.

Here is a brief summary of its contents:

SLAVERY AND THE CUSTOMS OF TRIBES

The leader of the British Conservative party is the daughter of a Nigerian Yoruba nationalist. This tribe practised and profited from slavery before and after the arrival of the White man in their native lands, securing the dominance of their Oyo empire by capturing and selling neighbouring non-Yoruba tribespeople to Ottoman and Middle Passage slavers.

The leader of the Conservative party comes from a tribe which customarily enslaved Africans.

The remembrance of the dead

November is the month in which we pray for the souls of the departed, and remember the saints (both those known and unknown to history).

If you would like to explore the relationship between memory and civilisation I recommend you read The Burial of the Dead by TS Eliot. It may help to redeem a memory saturated by the sensational trash of modern terms and conditions.

Ahead of Remembrance Sunday I shall say that I do not savour the images of warmongering politicians using our war dead to claim legitimacy.

If you would like to know why, read this:

REMIGRATION - OR A RAPIST “GOLD RUSH”?

The recognition of the vast crimes committed by our states, which are victimising us all, is growing.

In Britain, a campaign group for women has described the mass migration flooding our homelands as a “gold rush” for migrant rapists.

The Women’s Policy Centre in Britain released this report on the 30th of October showing the alarming rise in rape and sexual offences committed by migrants against women and girls.

For decades sane opposition to mass migration has been bracketed with extremist beliefs.

The recognition that the liberal-internationalist policy of mass migration is a direct threat to women’s safety shows that public perception is moving towards the recognition that the extremists are not those who object to being raped and replaced in their homelands.

The extremists are the liberals in charge of our governments and our economy.

TODAY IS BORISWAVE DAY

The British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to announce changes today to the legal right to remain in Britain of millions of migrants admitted under the government of Boris Johnson.

According to previous rules these migrants would be granted “indefinite leave to remain” (ILR) in the UK after five years - a date fast approaching for many of the 4.2 million migrants who arrived between 2021 and 2024.

Mahmood is expected to extend this qualifying period to 10 years, though given serious pressure from her own pro-migrant party, reports say any measures against mass migration are expected to be “watered down”.

Europe - Broke and Melting down?

The Belgian government has collapsed today with the resignation of the Prime Minister over the failure to agree a budget.

This comes as a cyberattack on Belgian supermarkets causes food to spoil in stores across the country.

Geoinsider’s report on Twitter notes

“According to HLN, the attack used the same method as the cyberattack that hit hundreds of supermarkets in France in mid-October.

Belgium now joins France and Sweden in a growing wave of cyberattacks targeting supermarket refrigeration systems.”

In Belgium, the Nationalist Vlaams Belang leads the polls, mirroring counter-liberal trends in France, Germany and Austria. These parties seek to re-establish trade with Russia in place of funding a war in Ukraine whose sanctions and actions are destroying Europe’s energy supply and the industry which relies on it.

What do the Russians have to say? They claim they have no plans for an all out war, as European nations are “falling apart on their own”.

It is hard to argue with that assessment.

The EU is a globalist bureaucracy whose purpose is to dissolve its member nations into itself.

Perhaps its financial, moral and demographic destruction of our lives (and the wealth of our nations) is part of this business model.

Bankrupted by globalist policies, European states are now raising already historically high tax rates. The UK is raising taxes at the fastest pace in the Western world and Italy is now going to tax people who are leaving Italy due to rising taxes.

It is difficult to see how the EU remains cohesive and solvent as it promotes a war with Russia with neither the armies nor the industry and money to fight one. I think this is the beginning of the endgame for this ideological bureaucracy.

I would expect more chaos and shenanigans both here in Europe and in the US as the crime scene which is replacing our civilisation shifts into public focus.

NATO - NO ALTERNATIVE TO OBSOLESCENCE?

I began this substack with a post bearing this title. After over 70 years of this “defensive alliance” most European nations are unwilling to defend their own borders and are militarily incapable of defending their nations.

NATO is an ideological bureaucracy and was the military wing of liberal globalism. With the project to dominate the world a failure, it is obsolete.

European security will no longer be underwritten by the US, whose factions are fighting between themselves for the survival of the nation versus that of the collapsing globalist regime.

It is unlikely that further escalation in the wars abroad or in the propaganda war at home can revive or even preserve the goal of global hegemony from its own disastrous consequences.

What remains in reality are the debts and destruction left behind by the fever dreams of a permanent unipolarity. No one is going to win any elections on a message of more wars. The time for a peace dividend is now.

MASS MEDIA - AN MKULTRA OPERATION?

As Noel Fritsch explained on Redacted this week, the mass media mindgames played on the Western public are best understood as a form of abuse.

Whilst Americans are misled about the disastrous effects caused by the Iran war, Europeans are threatened with all out war with Russia. Western populations are being plundered by their political elites who pursuse policies of mass destruction, selling them with aspirational messaging mixed with fear and loathing.

The costs of these wars are coming home in financial, material and electoral terms. The result is the growing recognition that our media is a psychological warfare operation which prohibits rational discussions and persecutes the principled, sane and prudent.

This is significant, as it is the control of public opinion by mass media means which secures the image of legitimacy of our liberal democracies.

This mask is slipping as it is directly contradicted by reality. The result is a loss of control, and will likely see more repressive measures and impetuous actions on the part of Western State actors.

Fritsch provides exceptional analysis of a US government “off the rails”, detailing the “palace intrigue” in the White House which may see Chief of Staff Susie Wiles sacked after the “impending doom” of the midterms.

In one remarkable segment here Fritsch explains how Western populations are traumatised and brainwashed by screen-based news media - describing the mainstream narrative as a form of mass abuse.

WHO PROGRAMMES THE TAKESMITHS?

The once-respected British newspaper The Daily Telegraph has announced 100 job cuts including to its newsroom, prompting the departure of several of its headline columnists.

The Telegraph has recently been acquired by Axel Springer, a rabidly pro-LGBTQ media magnate who also owns Politico.

The sale of the Daily Telegraph was approved by Labour Secretary for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy - who celebrated her globalist beliefs as the former Shadow Foreign Secretary.

Springer’s company has issued directives to journalists which are shaping the “opinion economy” of those who consume these takes.

The terms and conditions of the takesmiths are

• Pro-globalism

• Pro-Zionism

• Pro-neoliberalism

The Telegraph published this today, in an ongoing series of smear stories featuring and its promotion of pro-life-of-the-nation sanity.

Politico produces political news for the US, Europe and UK - and under Springer these arms of its operations were said to be increasingly merging as far back as 2022.

Axel Springer also owns the German newspapers Bild and Die Welt, as well as the Berlin news daily BZ.

In the US holdings include Business Insider, Morning Brew, eMarketer and Bisnow.

With holdings in Forbes and Newsweek as well as Polish titles FAKT and ONET, Springer’s neoliberal globalism is expressed in the international reach of his influence network.

I think we are living through the endgame of the liberal-global regime.

Now might be a good time to read about the strange death of liberal democracy, which I foretold last year.

This international death machine will not go nicely nor quietly. Expect more smear tactics, subversion, chaos and propaganda as the system breaks down.

Remember - you are not obliged to break down with it. Try to help those who may begin to lose their minds if you can.

God bless you all on this day of All Souls. Remember to pray for the departed.

In this third post on the nature of globalism I present my recent appearance with .

In it, I explain how practically every policy which is destroying our nations is also a form of business. This is because everything foundational to our civilisation is an obstacle to the realisation of the internationally standard worldwide system known as “globalism”.

Why do our political classes prosecute this war on our civilisation?

The machine politics by which we are ruled is a feature of this liberal internationalist system. Our politicians are the managers of our dissolution into this global “utopia”, and it is for this reason they pursue policies which destroy everything of value in our lives.

Later, I talk about how the family is being undermined and replaced by the ever-expanding state, because the rights of the family are prior to those of the state.

The family, as TS Eliot noted in his Notes Toward a Definition of Culture, is the source of our national culture (as well as being the basic unit of the national family or the nation itself).

If you dissolve the family into schools, have what few children we can afford to produce outsourced to “day orphanages”, and of course encourage their murder before birth as the acme of female liberation, you will have no culture to counter the mass production of belief, inverted morality, custom and purpose which is supplied in the liberal madrassas of the education system.

I investigate the base model of liberal globalism in the second Wilson administration here, talking about the Federal Reserve and the consequent export of the debt-issuance model throughout the new liberal democracies.

In coming posts I hope to show how it was also under Wilson that the model of an ever-expanding administrative bureaucracy became the template for the management of the liberal-internationalist world order.

I also go into why the global system has failed to meet its own objectives. Here I go on about why its attempt at “full spectrum dominance” has failed, and why that means its system is terminally unstable.

I am currently working on the next instalments in my series on “What is Globalism”, and hope to return on Monday with an explanation of why everything in your life is being ruined by the machine politicians whose business it is to precisely that.

Do not despair. The international death machine is breaking down.

You are not obliged to break down with it.

In this essay I hope to introduce some of the historical context of the liberal internationalism which is destroying our civilisation, and others, today.

In this seven minute post I will discuss the Enlightenment, the philosophy of Positivism which followed it, and the mass society and its belief system which has been organised to capture populations at home and abroad towards the realisation of a single global order.

It is my argument that “liberal democracy” was installed in order to export its belief system and methods of management worldwide.

I think “global liberal democracy” best considered as one stage in a centuries-long revolution whose goal is the replacement of reality with itself.

COUNTER-CIVILISATION AS PROGRESS

Perhaps the greatest trick of the mass deception of the Enlightenment is to present its counter-civilisational aims as the universal intellectual, moral and political uplift of humanity, abbreviated as “Progress”.

The commonly understood goal of the Enlightenment was to liberate Man through the application of Reason from the myths and superstitions which bound him to the order of monarchies, nations, Church and his natural state in life.

As the foundational text of the Frankfurt School1 argued, this Enlightenment has in fact supplied its own superstitions instead - by means of a “culture industry” whose action is to standardise belief, behaviour, art, architecture, thought, sentiment and “rational choice” in accordance with the aims of internationalism.

Of course, the Catholic Church first denounced the false idols of liberalism and the nihilism of market worship as well as the socialism prescribed as the remedy for the commodification of life.

You can read more about this in my series on the Catholic Social Teaching of Leo XIII:

You cannot reverse one revolution against reality by switching it for another. From the point of view of the counter-revolutionary, liberalism and socialism are sibling religions of Man, limited to the same material-rationalist reductionism which deletes any higher spiritual purpose for mankind and does not recognise the essential value of human life.

They both aim to overwrite reality with their programming.

The counter-revolution is about the recognition of objective reality, morality and the truth.

Today I begin a series exploring the nature of the liberal internationalism which is destroying civilisation at home and abroad.

Commonly known as “globalism”, it is the realisation of the ambitions of revolutionaries inspired by the so-called Enlightenment.

I will argue that the reason we inhabit a counter-reality cult hostile to basic facts and which supplies ignorance as knowledge is better understood with an investigation of the causes of these effects.

This five minute post shows some of the themes I will explore in these coming weeks, which I hope will give you an understanding of how we were managed into the state we are in today - and what we can hope to do next.

Universal evil is a low bar to clear as a proposition for a future political economy.

To understand how this was sold to us as the highest good is the first step in the rescue of our civilisation from the barbarous revolution whose terms and conditions can no longer control the omnicrisis they have unleashed.

“LIBERAL DEMOCRACY”

I will examine the nature of the god that failed twice - sold as “liberal democracy”. I intend to show that liberal idea has always been an elite idea.

It was produced by intellectuals, adopted by statesmen, later promoted by advertisers and advanced alongside the aims of financiers and corporations.

The liberal system was intended to be exported and installed worldwide. This is the reason liberal internationalist policies survive elections across the West, producing the same effects. This aim explains why states do not act in the national interest, as the interests of nations and their peoples are contrary to those of the globalising elite.

The causes of the disastrous effects we inhabit today can be summarised as the result of the failure of the most ambitious revolution in human history: to replace the common sense of reality with one supplied by itself, through a corresponding belief system in order to secure an unassailable control of the world permissioned in the name of utopia.

THE HISTORY OF IDEAS

I will talk about where the ideas come from which supply the foundation of modern belief today.

I shall present some criticisms of the Enlightenment from several perspectives, from that of Joseph de Maistre to the Frankfurt School.

The technique of revolution, from Bolshevism to the domestic social revolutions which have delivered the West into depraved moral nihilism will be examined, alongside the origins of the “rationalisation” and hyperfinancialisation which sees the value of human life today replaced by price, and human beings as disposable.

COUNTER-REVOLUTION

To understand “globalism” is to interrogate the 20th century and its practical and mythological legacy in economics, politics and the production of mass belief through the mobilisation of all forms of culture, and which is accelerated by advances in mass communications.

INTERNATIONALISM

At the beginning of the 20th century “globalism” was called “internationalism”. This was and is the belief that humanity should be managed by a single, standardising worldwide system of economics, political power and the production of belief.

I will show how this concept has developed from its roots in the Long Enlightenment through the later Age of Reason.

To standardise the world in this way makes necessary the removal of every insitution and belief which stands in its way.

I shall show how utopians such as the earliest Rationalists, the Illuminists, occultists supplied ideas developed by debt-issuance economists, oligarchs and pragmatists to produce policies and beliefs which promote the destruction of civilisation as progress.

This, I will argue, is the reason we have seen monarchs, the family, morality, facticity and the common sense of reality replaced with the false idols of the Revolution.

COUNTER-CHRISTIANITY

There is no competitor explanation of the nature of being, time and reality to that supplied by the traditional teachings of the Church.

No system of belief or of ideas has the complete coherence of this supreme descriptive correspondence to reality. When testing this claim it becomes obvious why the Church, its teachings and institutions must be destroyed by the replacement of its practical, spiritual and intellectual wisdom with the ignorance presented as knowledge in modern times.

I will argue it is for this reason we have seen the revolution seize the institutions of the Church, explaining why this treasure house of wisdom has been discarded for the trash of the liberal-internationalist State religion.

MAKE BELIEF

Drawing upon my earlier work I will show how and why our liberal democracies rely on the mobilisation of mass modern culture to manufacture belief in only the beliefs it supplies, answering demands for any alternatives with risks and rewarding compliance.

I shall show how the Enlightenment replaced the so-called superstitions of Christianity with its own. I will explain why its believers cannot recognise the limits of their belief system and how this contributes to the terminal crisis of this system unfolding around us.

FUTURE POLITICS

I argue for a near future political economy which restores meaning, justice and balance to our lives, and which is based in the rightful recognition of reality.

To speak against the Enlightenment is to invite the accusation of a wish to return to the supposed “Dark Ages”.

I will argue that in fact it is the newest technologies which will demonstrate and debunk the delusions of the Enlightenment.

What is called artificial intelligence is beginning to expose the limits of the beliefs we inherited from the revolt against reality in Reason’s name.

I will include some discussion of the absence of balance in the concept of liberal “rights”, the origins and effects of the rights-based grievance industries, and how the recognition of the relation between rights and duties restores genuine concepts of natural justice to our rotten political dispensation.

THE END OF AN ERA

I hope to show you that you are living through the end of an era. I aim to supply you better ideas of how to reason, live, value and comprehend the world than those manufactured to secure your compliance with a machine which is now breaking down.

You are not obliged to break down with it.

I have wasted my life on books and here I hope to give you the benefit of my wise career choices, showing you where some of the ideas come from which produce the false beliefs of Modern Man.

Debate is permitted as a showcase for these ridiculous fantasies, whose paradise has been realised around you.

I investigate the origins of the beliefs of the 20th century which have produced the near universal ignorance, helplessness and spiritual sickness of the late-stage rational enlightenment we inhabit today.

DEBATE: CHANGE MY MIND?

The belief that debate changes people’s minds is true and false.

It is false that debate creates conditions for the revision of belief as a result of logic, facts and reference to reality.

It is true that debate will change people’s minds about whether they want to kill you.

Debate is ragebait to the captured. To expose them to ideas which aren’t theirs is to threaten them, and so they threaten you.

Why do they get so mad at words? When the ideas which rule us are revealed to be contrived absurdities the result is not enlightenment1.

THE DEBATING SOCIETY - A CULT OF SUICIDAL TABOO

Here are some obvious facts which are never debated:

• Men are not born good

• Peoples and people are not equal and never will be

• Human potential is not limitless

• Talent is innate not taught

• Tribes exist, their customs are their culture, and these are not equal

• Reality, truth and morality are objective - not a matter of preference nor of perspective

• Many people cannot comprehend this fact because they are incapable of thinking

• Faculties such as the recognition of God, beauty, truth, justice, value and the ability to reason independently of feeling can be (and often are) congenitally absent

“Debate” takes place amongst imagined equals in a contrived playground of pasteurised ideas. It presumes all opinions are equally valid, that all persons are equally deserving of respect - regardless of their merits, moral behaviour or the calibre of their minds. There is no recognition of spiritual sickness in the Debating Society, which is dying of the diseases its debate forbids to mention.

TOLERANCE AND INTOLERANCE

The philosopher Karl Popper wrote a book called The Open Society and Its Enemies2. His argument about tolerance is relevant to “the debate”. In brief, he said that the tolerant should tolerate everything but intolerance.

This is a paradox - meaning it presents an insoluble contradiction. Popper admitted this when he said that tolerance was only tolerant within limits - with “tolerance” defined of course by those who identify as The Tolerant.

The result is a gay cartoon presented as a serious position. In this comic strip reality the intolerant are of course The Nazis. Not the Maoists, the Bolsheviks, nor the “tolerant” themselves.

In theory, this means tolerance is policed to exclude anything deemed contrary to itself. In practice, it means if you want to silence or even kill anyone you just have to call them a Nazi first. Who are the Nazis? You.

Tolerance has brought us to the point of violent extinction. This is not only intolerable. If we do not reject the false duty of tolerating our own destruction we are finished.

If you are capable of interrogating reality you can identify what is true and what is not. This is often the work of the better part of your lifetime. It is not easily come by. Debate offers you the pretence of this perspective, as if we are to entertain the babblings of some clown against the timeless and changeless nature of being and reality, and call the result the acme of human society.

Debate does not change politics, and there is no winning or losing it in this sense. The policies of liberal internationalism are fixed, they are fixed by people like Popper and Soros and Lippmann and so on, and whatever you say in a room full of boos and cheers has no effect whatsoever on their permanent agenda of national extinction.

Either we get rid of this system or it gets rid of us.

WHY DO THEY HATE DEBATE?

The ideas supplied to us as the permitted explanations cannot survive an honest argument.

This supply creates dependency on safe and effective narratives - which silence thought.

They thereby supply demand for more of themselves. If your idea of yourself as a Good Person relies on the supply of reality-contradictions from Trusted Sources, you can continue to sit in your house whilst it burns down and say “this is fine”.

If the supply of comforting lies runs out, you are compelled to recognise the awful truth. You will then realise how shocking it is to be required to actually think for yourself, and you will be afraid at the sudden intrusion of an ever more awful reality which you always knew was there but preferred to disavow.

The rules of debate in the suicidal State are an education in learned helplessness.

Men are clearly not women, people are obviously neither born good not equal and never will be, the system we endure cannot seriously be described as producing progress, the thirdworldisation of the West is obvious, we are being raped and pillaged in real time rather than living in a Netflix utopia, and so on.

To engage in debate is to point out the unpleasant fact that we are ruled by being fooled by these and many other fantasies.

This is to invite the believers to end you.

There is no debate about the nature of reality and no reason to risk your life to entertain it with people determined to disbelieve in it.

PARALLEL LINES

When you debate people with a parallel system of beliefs to those supplied by reality you may be killed. It is important to realise the people with whom you are attempting to argue structure their idea of reality in a way that is hostile to coherent thinking.

Debate is about pretending the House Rules are objective. The subjects of debate are limited to the subjective positions of those who abide by the rules. Per Popper, the ones whose questions cannot be answered (or uttered) under these conditions are evil and so they have no right to speak.

This shows that “debate” is part of a system of beliefs, which are the counter-culture of the revolution destroying our civilisation. To debate is to submit to the agenda of extinction, and to offer this process the glamour of legitimacy.

A culture is a matter of participation. When you debate you are speaking to people from a parallel culture. Their beliefs are those of an unacknowledged and absurd religion, composed of totems and taboos charged with frenzied emotion. Their mortal enemy is people like you. Normal people.

It is better to recognise our differences and agree on that fact, than it is to pretend we are all the same. Some are for good, some for evil. Some for vice, others virtue. You are for civilisation or barbarism.

The moment we inhabit makes this distinction clearer every day.

VICTIMS OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT

In the popular imagination the Enlightenment is the fount of modern “values”, including the prized status of rational debate.

This is an example of the sort of ignorance produced by a schooled society. It has supplied a series of fairytales in place of the nature of being.

Progress, godmanship, universal human potential, the ridiculous notion that if freed from restraint Man reverts to his natural goodness, the risible idea that our decisions are rational and not, as is more often the case, emotions plus alibis.

The popular imagination has been bewitched for centuries by these fantasies of emancipation.

This has resulted in the liberation of the masses from reality itself, with the means of escape into counter-reality fantasies presented as the only reasonable expedient.

The legacy of the Enlightenment is a popular cult which is as commonplace as it is invisible. It is a religion of nonsenses defended by the rules of debate whose core belief is that Man can believe himself into being better than he is, and thereby escape the human condition and the confines of reality.

Under such a debate, anything is permitted but sanity.

Where does this come from?

SENSATION AND DOUBT

Debate functions well in a knowledge economy in which no one knows anything. Here is a brief attempt to summarise the roots and fruits of the cult of Reason3.

The rational method has led many into pyrrhonism and the prison of the senses4. The basis of the Cartesian Method is a dubious mood5 whose absolute scepticism doubts the basis of reality to death. To be incapable of naming the obvious is to be wise and good today.

The Kantian position of immanence is near universal, meaning people generally accept their lives are a sort of incarceration in the limits of their experience. We are all trapped in our senses. If this is the position of Pure Reason then it seems reasonable to say “there is nothing more to reality than how we feel about it”.

If you believe you are trapped in your self, there is no escape and there is nothing more to life it clear how this proceeds to the moral nihilism of our times.

This is how we end up with a religion of human sentiment, a cult of nice - whilst reality gets nastier. If reality makes you feel bad you can simply delete this from your experience, and choose a less disturbing impression or description. Vice becomes a virtue. Babies must be protected from the harm of gender presumptions. Migrant crime is a conspiracy theory, as is the Great Replacement. This war is good, just like all the other ones. And so on.

The capacity to recognise evil is not universal, and nor is the courage to name and resist it.

THE PERSONAL LIMITS OF MEN

Men are prisoners of their personal limits. It is not true that sensation and experience are limited to the rational and material planes, however.

This is significant. As TS Eliot said, what separates us from the animals is our capacity to recognise (and not invent) God. People who cannot often behave accordingly.

Debate never mentions the fact that men and women are all limited in general and in particular ways.

Some are taller (a sore point here), some are wiser, brighter, stronger, more or less beautiful, some contract vices and others virtues.

Many seem incapable of seeing beyond their experience in any way, which means their contribution to any debate is to presume all others are like themselves, universalising their relative ignorance. “You would do no different” is one of their slogans, and they say this because it is impossible for them to imagine anyone doing anything beyond their capability.

To debate is to pretend we are not all limited in significant ways. How many people truly understand what they believe, or why they came to believe it?

This is a matter of capacity, not of schooling. Men are not enclevered by education despite the market value of credentials seeming to say so. Men are not born good and made sick by civilisation, as Rousseau would have it.

Debate is the preservation of the argument against reality by means of “reason”. It is, like our politics, a pantomime which punishes anyone who dares to point out the performance.

SOCIAL CONTRACT KILLINGS

Presenting counter-liberal ideas makes the captured want to kill you, which is a legitimate response according to their belief system.

People such as Charlie Kirk and Ann Widdecombe have been murdered following their contribution to the national debate.

I describe these as “social contract killings” in this essay, published this summer. Killing in the name of the defence of tolerance is not only tolerated by the tolerant, it is imagined to be a noble act. When these people kill you for being sane, when they burn your churches and beautiful buildings, loot your shops and rape your children they are advancing their concept of the Social Contract6.

Shooting the messenger preserves the illusions by which the “tolerant” live from the intrusion of embarrassing reality.

To the enemies of civilisation political murder is a virtue signal. Their lives depend on ending yours, should you become sufficiently influential to intrude upon their delusions.

To engage in debate in this way is to invite people to kill you, with the tacit permission of the liberal state whose ideology furnishes the basis of their personalities.

This is what is called a “locked discourse”. It is policed with voodoo curses with violence and with reference to never-defined but often cited “rules” of debate, which naturally rule out of the question many (or any) of the most serious questions of our lifetimes.

THE PRACTICAL WISDOM OF MIKE TYSON

Most people do not welcome the realisation that their thoughts are simply brand loyalties supplied by a system which is degrading every aspect of their lives.

Their response is, quite understandably, to counterattack the person they believe is attacking them. Debate as commonly presented does not exist.

How do you expect to “win” when your counterpart is going to punch you in the face for showing they are a loser?

Debate stirs the passions of the sort of people who would agree with William Blake - that “The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.”

This Romantic view of life, which is as dangerous as it is ridiculous, is an example of the revenant ghost of irrealism.

Today, many people believe that the strength of their feeling is the justice of their argument, and to “punch Nazis” is a virtue. Who is a “Nazi”?

That is anyone who says anything that moves them to violence.

The pigeon-loving philosopher-pugilist Mike Tyson is wiser than the horses of debate, who will continue to planning their punch-magnetising spectacles after being repeatedly assaulted for doing so. Why do plans for the victory of Reason survive repeated contradiction by history and personal experience?

Further, what is the point of inviting people to attack you in public? If you like being violently assaulted, do some full contact martial arts.

Do not attempt to reason with the differently-saned, who can neither be blamed for their transition to trans-sanity, nor who will welcome or accept the explanation for their predicament.

They are convicts who will defend their convictions to the end, because to surrender their beliefs is to accept a sort of death.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON DEBATE

Do not waste your time - or your life - on debate. Find your friends and keep them close instead. You are going to need them.

State the case and defend it. We are living through the verdict of history on the 20th century, its revolutions and religions of mankind. It is fruitless to appeal to reality to people whose lives depend on its denial.

The detransition of the West is underway already, the recognition of reality is now procedural. Just as the trans cult was promoted as a form of liberation and wrecked by the ugly truth of its business model, the cruelty and wickedness of the way we are ruled is being revealed as a criminal enterprise against us all. There is no debate about that, either.

The conditions we inhabit are not a product of arguments, good or bad, but of demonstrably destructive ideas whose legacy is universal barbarism.

Debate is a locked discourse offering reasons to disbelieve in reality. It is a form of periphrastic counter-sanity presented as the pinnacle of civilised behaviour.

If you do not like God, Max Stirner described the verbal totems of Enlightenment thinking as “spooks”. He meant they are ghosts invoked by magic words, which we prefer to believe are real because it makes us feel better.

Stirner’s Egoism is internally consistent, as most irreal beliefs actually are. The most convinced of lunatics have a perfectly ordered inner world which brooks no contradiction.

To make sense of things in this way is to armour your mind against reality.

You can have Stirner’s complete isolation in the self. You can live in a world which shrinks to the limits of your person and personality, or you can have the majesty of God, infinity, His natural order and the balance of all things in seeking His grace.

Your choice is between one or all, but not the many perspectives offered by the debating hall of mirrors, which is a vanity project for midwits.

There is no debate about the changeless nature of being and reality. There is no debate about the state we are in. We face the death of our civilisation assisted by the terms and conditions of debate. There is nothing to discuss but how to win, and that is not a discussion about winning an argument.

In these posts I will state the case against debate.

I doubt this will change anyone’s mind.

I think debate is a perilous waste of time for obvious and not so obvious reasons. In this six minute post I begin to explore some of these reasons in detail.

Here is a brief summary:

To debate is to participate in your own subjection.

• You self select as a target for permitted hatred

• You submit to rules which exclude reality

• You tacitly accept that debate produces a better society

• …and that the best of all societies is that which debates

To debate is to naively submit to a system which is designed to isolate and neutralise any and every serious critic.

To take part in this pantotmime is to legitimise a system which is illegitimate by design and rules by the manufactured illusion of the freedom of expression and the adoption of the best ideas.

CONTENTS OF THE SERIES

In this first part I discuss our society as a spectacle, and consider the role of c*nservatives in policing discourse acceptable to the politics of national suicide.

In later parts I will show why attempting honest debate in public is to invite someone to murder you.

I will investigate some of the philosophical claptrap which underpins the rotten system of our locked discourse, showing why participating in debate is submission to a humiliating game whose rules are fixed - against the honest and the sane.

DEBATE IS A SPECTACLE

If you like to make a spectacle of yourself, feel free to engage in public debate.

If you dare to gainsay any of the obviously ridiculous ideas of the current dispensation you will be insulted, perhaps assaulted, maybe prosecuted and possibly even killed.

In 1967 the Situationist Guy Debord wrote “The Society of the Spectacle”.

Later a film, the argument is that authentic social life has been replaced by its representation. Debord said society was a performance contrived to produce "a social relation among people, mediated by images”.

Debate is one aspect of a performance of a free and open society whose politics and culture are said to be constantly enriched by the best ideas. This is in turn a factor of the false belief in the inexorable moral and intellectual uplift of mankind as a function of time, known as “Progress”.

The belief in debate is a progressive totem. To gainsay it is taboo. We do not live in the product of the best ideas, which do not win for obvious reasons. The startling and largely unnoticed absence of any of the major crises of our time in popular culture suggests we are socialised on a compost of slopaganda.

Men detest the truth about themselves.Popular belief is a matter of repetition, not reason.

Mass beelief is made, it is not the result of free interrogation of the case.

It is a product of a system which rules us by the manufacture of the contents of the public mind.

A serious understanding of ther role of belief in political economy demonstrates that our duty is the supply of better beliefs, rather than participation in a staged sideshow offering only the humiliating defeats known as “moral victories”.

THE PSEUDO ENVIRONMENT

We have lived all of our lives in a climate of manufactured opinion. This is the “pseudo environment” of Walter Lippmann, who said the dominant use of mass communications could produce a worldview based on its output - a replacement for reality whose control furnishes the contents of the hearts and minds of its captive audience. This is how public opinion is made.

Here is my post explaining the Lippmann Method and the technique of producing consensus in “Liberal Democracy”:

For over a century, the political economy sold as Liberal Democracy™ has suffused our hearts and minds with a system of make belief. These beliefs, which were made to make us believe in liberal internationalism, continue to shape our behaviour and thinking today, whether we consider ourselves to be liberal or not.

The belief in “debate” is one example. It is a ghost of the machine by which we are ruled, and which is now breaking down.

The role of belief in political economy is foundational to power which prefers not to use explicit force to secure compliance. Another reason is that we do not believe what we believe due to reasoning. What we often see and hear is what we come to accept as the case. Belief is a matter of preference, of convenience and of familiarity. It is not commonly the result of intellectual work, and its contents usually demonstrate its complete absence.

You can read about the Bernays Technique in the making of mass belief here:

WHY DEBATE IS CHAMPIONED

The reason debate is championed is a pernicious one. If you accept this fool’s bargain, you accept the terms and conditions too. The locked discourse of the liberal system achieves a superficial legitimacy through the transmission of the religious belief that the liberal system is the product of the best ideas winning the debate.

In reality, only liberal ideas are permitted in debates. To take debate seriously is to seek the meaning of life in a cartoon produced by the morally agnostic.

The result is not a free-thinking individual who has rationally chosen their ideas. The beliefs supplied to us through the control of cultural production are as foundational to the personality as they are to the power of the political elite.

This means that consumer beliefs consume us. Liberal ideas about rights, values, politics and society become the baseline, and they are not mere opinions. They furnish the structure of our identity, as in order to integrate into this mass society we must integrate its dogma into the armature of our personality.

To ask someone to “Change their mind” is often to demand they destroy their career and their identity.

The relation of one idea to another is like that of a component in an engine. If you swap out a pipe for a piston the machine breaks down.

This explains the limits of debate. There are countless examples of hysterical and violent reactions to the public presentation of arguments. What you see in these cases is the reality which cannot be reconciled with the fantasy premises of debate: questioning people’s beliefs is perceived as an attack, not as the free exchange of ideas inspired by some telos towards a superior thesis.

In this example of the function of debate, a c*nservative says that to question the rules breaks the rules. We shall see where this paradoxical reasoning originates in a moment.

What is unspoken about debate is most revealing about its function. Here a c*nservative is saying Restore Britain have “left the bounds of normal political debate” because they challenge the liberal consensus of national suicide.

The implicit reference to unspoken rules shows that debate is a construct permitted within the limits of the ruling ideology. If you say that ideology is rotten, and is responsible for the rotting state of our lives and of our instutitions, you are out of order.

Debate about the production of disorder as business as usual is not acceptable. Debate which changes nothing is the order of the day, every day it takes place.

Restore Britain is not engaged in a debate about the state of the nation. It states the case. If you recognise the ruin of your people, your economy, your society and the destruction of your children’s future in the political designs of the liberal consenses you will agree with them. If you do not or will not, you won’t.

The desired product of cultural propaganda is a people who cannot or will not recognise reality. You cannot expect to persuade people by compelling them to see what their identity and their worldview relies on denying.

Debate is a means of legitimising a fixed agenda and an inflexible, liberal-limited conceptual sandpit to play in whilst your house is burned down at your expense.

Our energies are better spent in preparing to replace this rotten state before the arsonists have reduced us all to ashes.

In this 5 minute review of what we laughingly call “the news” I conclude that we are living through the end of the liberal-internationalist era.

CONTENTS

• Economic omnicrisis

• Riots or Remigration

• MENES :DDDD

IS THE POPE A CATHOLIC?

As Morrissey famously intoned, “that joke isn’t funny anymore”. The man who identifies as Pope Leo XIV has contradicted Catholic teaching in his remarks about the death penalty.

Leo’s Reddit-tier remarks will gain him favour amongst the international rainbow Bolshevist faction, which largely staffs the Vatican and to which most of the bishops and cardinals around him appear to belong.

Why does this matter? The teaching of the Church is coherent, and that coherence has been refined over centuries. To contradict elements of this is to gainsay a dozen Popes and, for example, St Thomas Aquinas.

This is to replace the unparalleled practical and spiritual wisdom of the Church with an incoherent mess. It is also cringe, and further means we are likely to see zero conversions and many apostasies due to several reasons.

• One, the Church in its teaching is now identical to the liberal internationalist ideology, which is of course humanist and therefore counter-Christian.

• Two, this means in effect that the Catholic religion is being replaced by the Liberal-global State religion.

• Three, Liberal internationalism is collapsing.

• Four, this will leave the liberal State religion Stateless, as its ridiculous and destructive belief system dies out whilst its economy and political structures dissolve.

Pope Leo is fighting on the losing side in the war on our civilisation.

This is a further tragedy, as Pope Leo has missed a golden opportunity to present the natural justice and political economy of the Church as the remedy for the poison purveyed by liberal consumer-nihilism.

This is a serious matter. The traditional teachings of the Catholic Church have the answers to this crisis - a crisis created in the Devil’s bargain between market and state worship which makes fools of all its buyers.

In fact, this is largely how it is sold to the masses: by means of mass deception. This presents one thing as the same as another, evil as good and universal barbarism as utopia - for example.

We are finding out now what fools we have been to buy into this sales cult of universal destruction as its wars and criminal business such as mass migration destroy our way of life.

I explained why this destroys the coherence of Catholic messaging in my video today for LifeSiteNews, which you can find here.

THE COLLAPSE OF PROJECT RUSSIA

The intrusion of reality into the reckless utopian fantasies of the Liberal order brings the end of the war in Ukraine in sight.

A war which never made sense in military terms can only conclude in a recognition of how much there is to lose1. That case has been made by the lifting of energy sanctions on Russia by the Trump Administration, whose partner war in Iran has combined with this one to produce a possibly terminal crisis for the global economy the Americans used to champion.

There are several ideas of empire facing the end here. One is the liberal internationalist one led by the USA, which decided to pursue a path towards becoming the only global power after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

A second is the remnant of that global project in the internationalist liberal bureaucracies such as the EU, NATO, and their satellite states. The remnant liberal-global governments in Britain, Spain, France, Germany and Austria face disaster in defeat, as they all bet everything on winning the proxy war against Russia. They have not and will not.

ECONOMIC OMNICRISIS

Finally, the economic empire which powered these quixotic ambitions is itself uncertain. The US navy no longer guarantess the seaways of the global economy, and it looks very likely that the Middle East - and indeed the political map of Europe - will change dramatically over the next two years.

JP Morgan has given up trying to model the outcome of the Iran war, which is an ongoing disaster with no end in sight.

I take the view that energy markets do not reflect reality, which explains the distance between real barrels and the pricetag on the markets.

Markets are faith-based, moving due to belief, and making you believe in them is part of the make belief by which we are ruled.

In reality the shortages created by this crisis are structural now, meaning problems for fertiliser, food, fuel and practically everything delivered by burning it will continue to worsen for some time. The release of some Russian diesel on to the market following Trump’s agreement will not correct this.

Together with this, bonds are rising across the West and so is government debt. This is not a healthy picture.

Some are drawing parallels to the 2008 financial crisis regarding the state of mortgages in the US and in Britain. The auguries are there, the haruspex refuses to discuss the guts of the matter, which is of course the condition of the victim. It is taboo to discuss the loss and who will suffer.

Why is that? We are all victimised materially, spiritually and financially by an elite whose failed grand strategy whose costs are practically uncountable, and which has resolved into a crisis whose limits are not currently defined.

RIOTS OR REMIGRATION

Public anger is rising at the flooding of the West with millions of third world migrants. Mass migration presented as an economic necessity is a hard sell when scarcity and inflation increase at home.

This is not a matter of “racism” but of political legitimacy.

You can read my report here on the criminal business of mass migration and how it is partnered in crime with the revolutionary progressive political agenda:

Mass migration - a sort of side-hustle from the decades of wars of choice - was sold to us as economic salvation.

The belief system generated to sell this is eroding our right to identify as ourselves, and if this policy is not reversed our children will never have a home of their own.

At home and abroad the political economy of mass destruction has driven us to the brink of barbaric violence.

This is not a legitimate politics. The ruling political elite of the international liberal order have no right to rule, and I doubt they have the hard power to contain public outrage at the consequences of their actions, which reduce at scale to a series of vast crimes committed against their own populations for their own profit.

For these and other reasons I believe we are living through the end of an era.

In 2022 Eric Zemmour introduced “remigration” into the French Presidential campaign, launched with this astonishing video in which he spoke of the “thirdworldisation” of France.

Today, images of violent civil disorder reach us through networks of information not yet locked down by the liberal elite whose policies have created this crisis.

Paris police intelligence stated the now-nationwide riots have been orchestrated by the far-left political party LFI, saying its officials had organised street blockades.

Here is the LFI mayor of Saint Denis with a cheering crowd of migrant students beside a flaming bin.

His delight at joining the “protesters” is captured in this image

Mayor Bally Bagayoko’s parents migrated to France from Mali in West Africa.

THE NEW POLITICS: CIVILISATIONAL ARSON

A report in the Hungarian Conservative shows the riots are part of the political strategy of the pro-migrant La France Insoumise (LFI).

French intelligence services reportedly claim the riots are an “operation organised by the LFI and its proxies on the far left”.

If you think this is a rather extreme take, consider this statement from the LFI’s leader on the 5th of October:

LFI’s leader is Jean-Luc Melenchon.

He represents what he calls a “New France” - one which has been “creolised” by mass migration, and which according to him has replaced the nation formerly known as France - which will “never exist again”.

“Creolisation” is a leftwing feelgood synonym for “thirdworldisation”. This the the future represented by leftwing politics for European civilisation.

It is not confined to France.

The governing Labour Party in Britain has won a byelection in London’s ward of Holborn and St. Pancras with a 35% drop in their vote share since 2024.

Sagal Abdi-Wali is a moslem from Somalia. She won with 12000 votes of a potential 70000. Over sixty percent of the voters did not vote at all. Those who did voted overwhelmingly for a third world candidate in Britain’s capital city.

A STATE AGAINST ITS PEOPLE

This may seem to indicate that multiculturalism is going swimmingly in Britain. Again, outside the mainstream memes of a captive media, a radically different picture emerges.

Last week the coastal town of Gosport in the south of England was locked down to permit the state assisted trafficking of busloads of illegal migrants - to be distributed across Britain.

MASS MIGRATION IS A CRIMINAL BUSINESS

Eleven police support units came from across six other forces to police a Section 34 order on a town of 82 000 people. The cost to the taxpayer of importing 149 migrants is reported to be at least £350 000 so far.

The obvious story is that the British state uses the police and the law against the British people to transport migrants into our homelands.

Our people are brutalised and demonised when they object to third world migrants being escorted into their home towns. Why?

Mass migration is a business. The Liberal State partners with organised foreign criminal gangs to import millions of new consumers because its internationalist economic model requires them.

OUT OF CONTROL?

The buried lede is that to do so, they now have to import police from across the country.

The state is strong when it can concentrate its dwindling forces on one event. As events move beyond a single location to many, this power is insufficient to maintain the manufacture of state sponsored disorder.

The heavy police presence - never marshalled to defend native Britons from migrant rape and violence - is explained by a mass masked protest at the port of Dover in early September.

Hundreds of masked British patriots formed to peacefully halt the state-assisted supply of migrants through Britain’s busiest port.

The leader of this movement, Daniel “Danny Tommo” Thomas, has been jailed without bail for six months after filming himself slashing a migrant dinghy with a knife.

His “Patriot Platform” now claims 45 000 members nationwide. Questions remain over the character and motives of Mr Thomas, but the public outrage his movement represents is unquestionably caused by the crimes committed by the liberal political establishment.

Their policies of censorship and partnership with organised crime have made them the enemy of the British people.

MIGRANT HOUSING ATTACKED

The backlash has escaped easily-policed single day demonstrations.

Houses of Multiple Occupation - HMOs - are being attacked.

These HMOs are presented by the British government as a solution to the crisis they have created.

Presented as more cost-effective alternative accommodation to the scandalous use of hotels to house migrants supplied by the State, they decant formerly isolated migrant populations directly into our streets - against the will of we British who are now compelled to live alongside them.

Well, it seems we British have had enough.

This is not an isolated incident.

A video of Kersal in Salford shows another HMO.

Thirdworldisation by design is criminalising our lives.

As Zemmour pointed out, our countries are impoverished and dislocated by the replacement of our people with those from third world countries.

Crime is normalised for and against the pro-migration policies which are making our lives a disaster zone.

As mass migration escalates, no place is like home. Our nations are replaced by a political economy which is destroying our civilisation entirely.

SCENES OF THE NEW UTOPIA

Recent videos from Germany and Belgium show a pattern produced by progressive political decisions.

This is Berlin, on the 7th of October.

Reports show the riots have spread from France to Belgium.

Even Reuters covered the violence in Liege.

A teacher in the French Alpine town of Annecy was assaulted by her students.

Here, a French woman has an improvised blowtorch aimed at her face for trying to stop rioters smashing up a bus shelter.

European women, who have typically voted in favour of migration-enabling progressive parties, are realising their lives are endangered by the New Utopia and its New Europeans.

THE COUNTER-REVOLUTION: IN DEFENCE OF CIVILISATION

As the children of the revolution take to the streets, a counter-revolution is coming to take power. The former National Front leader Marine Le Pen has soared in the polls since the riots in France began.

The AfD in Germany and the FPO in Austria have secured commanding leads.

This “sharp right turn” feared by the EU since 2024 is a response to the extremism of the liberal political establishment, whose coordinated consensus in Europe and in Britain has forced a state sanctioned emergency on its people.

This revolution will be reversed or European civilisation will be replaced.

REMIGRATION OR DEATH

The Institute for Remigration has published an online dashboard showing precisely when each European nation will see its native people become an ethnic minority in their homelands.

British-based (and it is very based) Remigration Now has an online database of our people murdered by immigrants since 1833.

Across Europe, conservative parties are in decline.

In Britain, the Conservative Party is led by a Nigerian.

British C*nservatives are openly declaring for the enemies of our civilisation.

There is obviously no political solution to this crisis from within the rotten establishment whose coordinated consensus conspired to create it.

It is the duty of a responsible State to make violence, chaos, rape and murder impossible on this scale.

The policies of the liberal establishment have made it inevitable.

Politics today and tomorrow is a choice between survival and extinction, between the life of our people, our nation and our civilisation and death.

The real advertisement for the progressive utopia is not found in the saturation of our media with multicultural paradise fantasies.

It is in the normalisation of crimes so vast they have no name.

The demoralisation, moral corruption, brainwashing, bankrupting, rape, murder and replacement of the peoples of Christendom by design is a vast criminal conspiracy presented as progress.

As Restore Britain’s Tyler Johnson explains here, if you try to bring the politics of sanity to the streets of London you can expect to be violently assaulted.

To call for sanity, for order, for God, family and country in place of manufactured barbarism is to be called an extremist.

As we are ruled further into disorder priorities change. What is the cost of caring about being called names and cancelled? The benefit is compliance in omnicide, to profit a parasitic junta who are monetising our total and irrevocable loss.

What is radicalising the West is not online media misinformation, but the message from the awful reality created by the politics of national suicide.

This is a war on our civilisation which we are going to win, because it is now obvious that to lose is to lose everything, forever.

In part two of my D.C. diaries this one little Englishman takes a look at the Republican Reality Denial Bubble, taking in Eric Cantona, economic crisis and the end of an era.

I talk about the distance between the actual and the virtual, and try to explain why despite the machinery of politics and propaganda being more advanced than ever it is breaking down.

MIDTERMINATION AND THE REPUBLIBUBBLE

Many elected officials seem to be uninterested in the forthcoming midterm disaster, as if the suspension of Congress has put the matter out of mind.

Republican staffers are uniformly dejected. To say they are disappointed in the administration is rather like describing Columbia Heights as a “vibrant cultural center”. There is no need to explain either, because the reality is there before you if you are willing to see and describe it honestly.

Factionalism and denial distinguish the DC Republibubble. The cause is known to be lost in November but it is tabu to say so. This fact is buttressed by the obvious angling for a spot in a post-Trump administration in Republican circles.

It is as if the car crash of November’s mid-term elections has already happened but all the witnesses are mute. A weird, unspoken consensus over a forbidden truth shapes self interest in sight of the next season of The White House, and of course the next Presidential election.

It is reasonable to expect the Republicans will win that. There is camp Vance and camp Rubio as a result. Some have a foot in both. No one dares say what their actions obviously mean, because the President is still the President for now, and therefore it is dangerous to plainly state the case.

One man who knows his onions said he thinks Trump has maybe sixty days. It seems likely the intrusion of reality will mean someone has to go down for having sunk the ship. So those who dare to see are looking beyond the man of the moment.

SEE NO EVIL?

In this sultry soup of scheming disavowal it takes a while to realise that the danger here is far greater than to a political career or a public reputation.

What does it mean if the State power of America is incapable of speaking its mind?

It is not only muted but of several minds at once. It has one eye on the men of the moment, another on those of the moment after that. Then, being limited to the personal, it runs out of eyes.

Perhaps the most convincing strategic thinking beyond the immediate is exemplified by the survival instincts developed when swimming in shark infested waters.

The sharks aren’t merely your friends and neighbours. They are also the facts. Name the wrong ones and you are finished. To know which things not to say is of course to know why. Keeping these things from the public is imperative. Selective blindness is a sign of a promising career.

The Strangelove Affair

We all know some sort of bomb is going to drop. Why is it a bad career move to notice the signs of impending catastrophe?

The concept of fetishistic disavowal was explained in Slavoj Zizek’s short film “The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema”. It means “I know, but nonetheless I…”

It enables the individual to keep up an attachment to a belief despite knowing it is an illusion - or a problem in itself.

The slovenly Slovene fought through his tics to say that when we know something but pretend not to this creates dramatic tension. Zizek said that cinema was the ultimate “pervert’s art” -

“It does not tell you what to desire, but how to desire”.

The spectacle which schools our lives is a form of performance.

It is the animation of spectator populations with consuming desires, produced for the benefit of the sponsors of the messages. Public opinion is a matter of mediumship to communicate with spirits which are and are not there. What is in fact supplied is a darkness presented as illumination, delivering us into a mauve zone, a permanent ultraviolet hour whose enchantment is only broken by the intrusion of the real.

When we watch the spectacle of Western power we are not watching Dr Strangelove or Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, but a flock of seagulls circling a fishing boat. It does not matter to the gulls whether the catch is landed or not.

If the boat sinks they will chase another. As long as they remember what they pretend not to know they will always find a sardine to feast on. We are fed fantasies by seagulls who seem to have forgotten the shore, and the hungry mouths which wait there.

The enchantment of this performance relies on the audience not wanting to acknowledge what they know about the actors, and also on knowing what the characters on (or in) camera don’t whilst being unable to warn them.

In the display of our political economy we cannot warn any of the actors, as they already know what is wrong and their career relies on them never saying so. We know that for them to state the obvious is The End.

To listen to us is to forgo the boat, the fish, and the flights of fancy which bore them aloft. And so they can hear no evil.

The pursuit of footballers like Eric Cantona in 1995 was a performance of a different order. The sardines sought from him were of cheap sensation and fleeting scandal, more for the sake of a splash than the catch.

The faction of political distraction has developed its technique. It is wise to remember that sins are equally of omission as commission.

The scandal with the political class is the silence on what is real, is the clamour over what is not. The splash that is not made now sounds the loudest.

What is routinely reported and represented is often anything but the case. Personal peccadilloes are landed like prize tuna whenever some power move demands some politician is ritually sacrificed. Ponzi scheme pretences are piffled up to repackage dire consequences as enemy action, when the actors are at home, and their activities far more damaging than any foes foreign or domestic.

The terrible decisions which have made terrible conditions for us all to endure escape the hook and the resulting clickbait. The biggest fish are never landed. Glittering minnows are tossed to feed the five thousand seconds of our weekly news cycle.

Reality is toxic. Speak no evil.

ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC

There is no difference between foreign and domestic policy. It is clear now that ordering chaos abroad delivers it to your home. In many dimensions the way we have been ruled has produced a disaster, from mass migration to bankruptcy, to a collapse in belief in the agreement capability of our states and in the electoral process itself.

We have been managed into an omnicrisis.

As in Europe, the corridors of power are closed to all but their own internal dialogue - with political power a sort of sealed knot that cannot be untied, only cut, by some crisis or other.

The political technique of the 20th century relies on the production of an idea of reality through the dominance and direction of mass culture. This machinery is more refined than ever, and the result today is not total control. It is the growing recognition that the manufacture of mass belief has created a spellbinding spectacle of near universal disenchantment. Its magic is broken by the reality it was created to replace, and its output now seems absurd, an insult to the intelligence and daily experience of the viewer.

It is like a Panglossian engine which instructs you to see none of the evil created by a political class whose survival relies on remaining, at least in their own minds, disconnected from the consequences of their actions and dedicated to a doctrine of counter-reality.

REALITY IS A CAREER-ENDING MEME

These consequences are so severe that to place a taboo on accurately describing reality is a matter of survival.

The wars have bankrupted a West which America was supposed to lead to global hegemony. The international liberal system is collapsing as its supply chains break down due to the latest catastrophic adventures in Russia and Iran. The real life costs of these conflicts will continue to cascade through the lives of the ruled, which have been ruled into disorder by a ruling establishment sponsored by the very machine which is breaking everything.

DC is at once an actual and virtual reality. Americans and America are rarely seen or heard in it. Everything but the air conditioning seems breaking down or broken, the youth have no faith in their elders, the politics sclerotic, pantomimic and paranoid, reduced to personal interest invested in a cross-party partisanship which contradicts the interests of the United States as a State, as a civilisation, and as the American people.

This is not just about America. The same filth and fury pervades the cities of the West. A formless anger is finding its way in the dark to the shining cities on the hill. We have all been plundered. The thirdworldisation of the Western world is not only obvious in the peopling of our streets, but in their greasy state. Where has the money gone?

Someone has to pay for all this. Our lives are pregnant with unpaid debts, reliability replaced by liabilities, a common tragedy of broken windows, corrupt institutions, soaring costs and vanishing benefits. The sunk costs of the dying order are sinking the ship of state, itself becalmed in the clammy dead air of desperate misdirection. The only breath in its sails seems to be the whisper of scurvy and of mutiny.

I did not think that anything could make me feel better about London, but going to Washington D.C. did the trick. The degree of paralysis in the face of the terrible obvious is suffocating.

Each man sees himself in what he eyes. To some men are fish to be baited, to others, consumed. If there is nothing more to a man than snares and sensation, devouring and designs he will mistake success in these ways for wisdom. These human voices wake us or we drown.

There is little sense of salvation in this system today, tomorrow will be different. That much is certain. Supply does not match and cannot meet demand.

Who will feast and to whom the famine is the question.

I hope to talk to you about the Restore Britain conference soon, with some commentary on the domestic political crisis in Britain and in Europe.

Last month I went to Washington, D.C. to see what I could see. Here is a five minute essay about that. I will publish a second part on Monday.

This first part is about my impressions of the place, leading into the second which is more about the politics.

Narcotics Hieronymous

I landed late at night at Dulles and shared a taxi into town. The streets around Columbia Heights speak of America’s yesterday. Stoops and porched brick terraces, places which recall the kind of faces you do not see there today. American ones, which I found to be in vanishingly short supply.

These are streets bereft of dreams - American or otherwise. I walked briskly as an obvious stranger through a Bosch-like gallery of misery and menace, down broad streets patrolled by caroming ranters of various shades, rats, stumbling junkies and the National Guard.

Rough sleepers gouched on the steps, bodies sprawled on sidewalks like victims of a silent plague. Murmurs and sometimes shrieks of threat cut through the funk of pungent bins. This is a place in which the rag trade of low life had become business as usual.

There are posters and stickers around the place which equate the attempt to restore law and order and decency with fascism - a dreadful polarisation between extremes. To one side, obvious filth, degradation and lawlessness is a vibrant culture under siege. To the reality-based community, it is a deplorable mess in which any agent of common decency acts in a hostile environment.

On my first walk down the street towards the shopping centre a black gentleman of the road offered to shoot me to death. Later, I spotted an indifferent rat bent double beside a bin - adopting the “fent fold” exampled around him.

My attempts to have a coffee and phone my wife were punctuated by street loonies of colour shouting at roadsigns, sharp-eyed immigrants eyeing me and my phone, and sirens wailing toward some more pressing emergency than mine.

This part of D.C., and many others, is an example of the placenessness which follows demographic displacement and social collapse. The past remains, its buildings like mute witnesses to the crime scene which has replaced the people and their culture which built them. It was home to something once. So sad.

AC/DC

I went to a hotel for lunch to meet with a DC insider. I mentioned to him how seamy the place felt, and not only due to the sticky heat. Oh don’t go outside, he laughingly rejoined. You just migrate from your air conditioned apartment to an Uber and then to a place like this, and back again.

The steak I ordered resembled a burnt turd and tasted like a shoe. I am told the British Embassy staff stay here. Perhaps the waiter mistook me for one of them, which might explain the woeful chips which partnered a sirloin that looked like it had already been eaten and eliminated once before it came to me.

The lesson I learned was to never leave the confines of the AC when in DC. What lies outside is a matter best not discussed. A no-mans-land makes exclaves of the gilded portals of the finest hotels. The Ubers are prompt. The reality of the city is clearly understood but seldom named, like an embarrassing complaint which it is impolite to mention. It is as if it does and does not exist, and in this I find a metaphor for the reality created by the political economy of the West, being perilously terrible to inhabit or to honestly describe.

It is the ruled who do not have the luxury of choice in such matters.

Events, dear boy, events

Going to conservative events in DC usually means people (mainly men) in suits, light snacks, a brightly lit and air conditioned office space, and of course free booze.

If you know what you are doing you do not drink the booze. If you don’t, you do, and it shows. I had a bottle of water and some interesting popcorn whilst I watched a film about the State-partnered criminal enterprise of mass migration into Europe.

They were very nice to me at the Heritage Foundation and there is much to say that is good about some of their people. Afterwards I did have a single pint in a bar across the road, where I was hectored on to the street by a circumferential African American woman got up like a security guard for the crime of lighting a rollup outside.

The bubble

Much is said of the Westminster Bubble in Britain - being the perceived isolation of the political establishment from the reality it has created for the people it nominally represents.

The DC bubble is similar but different. If you talk to the kids - the Zoomer serfs who staff the offices of Senators and Persons of Congress - a picture emerges which bears no relation that of their elders.

We are not watching the same movie, you might think. In fact, the young aren’t watching a a movie at all. In place of the revisionist tele-visions their elders prefer, the youth are engaged by the dire predicament of their lives, which have been ruined by the interests of the political and media bonzes they serve.

In part two of my DC Diaries I go on about the D.C. bubble, disavowal over the midterm elections, and the distance between ruler and ruled as that between representation and reality.

I am off to the Restore Britain Southern Conference today. I may well be writing about that soon, too. God bless you all and have a blessed weekend.

In this post I will offer some analysis of foreign affairs and the state we are in today.

I say the major war with Russia is unlikely due to practical constraints (though not impossible).

I add some remarks about the distance between the ruling establishment and the ruled, and end with a cautionary tale about the millions of children made homeless by the parallel revolution to Liberalism of the Bolsheviks.

WAR IN EUROPE?

In brief

War with Russia is being talked up in Britain and in Europe despite the fact that it seems impossible to fight or much less win one due to:

• Low armament stockpiles

• Limited manufacturing capability

• Supply chain problems

• Financial constraints

• General lack of war-readiness

• 10 year timescale to build a capable counterforce

• US disengagement from European security

• Popular discontent with domestic European governments

The strategy of the pro-war faction (UK, EU) appears to be to designate Russia as the perpetual enemy, and to provoke the Russians into a response which is sufficient to trigger direct US entry into a war.

In depth

Since the publication of Dr Maitra’s “Dormant NATO” paper in late 2023, the US has moved to “shift the burden” of European security guarantees to the Europeans. That is to say, to “draw down” US commitments to NATO in Europe.

The US drawdown from donating money and weapons to Ukraine has seen the Europeans make good the difference - a 67% rise in European-funded military aid to Ukraine in 2025 (for example).

This means Europe - that is, the EU and Britain - must maintain a far higher level of spending on the Ukraine war than (say) in 2023, and also find the money to rearm and rebuild its own armed forces.

Decades of reliance on the US security umbrella has seen European armies dwindle since the end of the Soviet Union.

Turkey has the second largest armed forces in NATO.

For decades the ruling establishment has inflicted policies on its populations which amount to a series of outrages.

Political decisions which result in the corruption of children and criminalisation of the innocent combined with the refusal to punish criminals means the Liberal State is in fact a partner in crime.

Clamouring for a war is simply an escalation of this modus operandi, for which even anarcho-tyranny is a generous term.

MIND THE GAP

The mind gap between ruler and ruled is obvious to us and not so obvious to them. The rulers appear to inhabit a bubble which has burst for the rest of us, preserving them from the awful reality created by decades of destruction, corruption, propaganda and managed decline.

Examples of the bubble:

• USG narrative of the Iran war (success versus disaster without current limit)

• Rhetoric of war with Russia versus capability to fight one

• Public disaffection with government action and inaction

• “The enemy is at home” versus “the enemy is abroad”

• Continued support of failed grand strategies against public opinion

• Elite luxury beliefs versus declining standards of living for the many

That awful reality has become our new normal. It is seldom honestly represented in the mass media, which is of course largely an engine of state propaganda.

The Iran war, combined with the effects of the Ukraine war, has unleashed an expanding disaster whose limits are not currently set. The economic problems are now structural, meaning food and fuel inflation (and scarcity) will very likely continue throughout the next year at least.

How many Britons, Germans, French would fight to defend the politics of national suicide?

How many of them are actually British, German and French?

The native populations of the West are largely demonised, censored and overtaxed by governments managing their lives into a deepening crisis. The non-native populations are hardly united by patriotic fervour.

If they declared war how many people would turn up?

The war rhetoric is completely disconnected from this reality, as it is from the fact there is neither the industrial nor military capacity to fight.

What we sense today is a mindless gap between how we experience the world and how they represent it. The gulf between the political class and the electorate is getting wider. The world they describe does not match the world their policies have shaped. The capabilities they confidently boast do not correspond to actual capacity. It is a world of make belief which the world itself makes us disbelieve.

This matters not just because this makes governance unstable.

It is significant because the manufacture of the sense of reality through mass communication is the foundational political technique of the 20th century.

This is not working any more. This means the elaborate and constantly refined machinery of human management known as “liberal democracy” is intact, but can no longer deliver conformity and compliance.

What will replace it in the short term does not look like a swift return to order. The ruling order in the West is clearly unstable structurally and ideologically.

Its decisions have been marked by a devotion to ideology over practical reality, resulting in the contradiction of reality with rhetoric which we see in the headlines.

REBALANCING

In international relations there is a school of thought called realism. Some of its pupils write foreign policy for the US government today.

Though this faction of sanity is not the most prominent at present it does offer much hope for a restoration of order in the medium term.

One concept offered by the realists (and neorealists) is “rebalancing”.

To suggest this in geopolitics is naturally to accept the minatory fact that the time is out of joint - that things are not balanced at present.

This in turn implies a sense of order that has been violated.

I think all these things true enough to explain what is wrong and how to put them right.

Rebalancing is a very helpful concept as it is non-partisan, expresses the injustice and instability of the moment in a neutral fashion graspable by all, and promises a practical way out of the mess.

It broadly seeks recognition and reconciliation through trade and relations to mitigate conditions producing armed conflict.

Construction, not destruction. Gestation, not migration.

Rebalancing is a healthy motto for a sensible future foreign (and domestic) policy platform. Nationally and internationally our affairs are out of kilter. International actions are undermining the national interest.

These international affairs drive food and fuel inflation, magnify demographic replacement and further polarise our frayed societies into antagonistic factions of for and against a political economy which does its terrible business as usual regardless of elections.

The system as is replaces the common good with universal evils.

It is morally nihilistic, meaning it sees no value nor purpose to life beyond the supply of demands for the satisfaction of desires. What is more, even these consumer aspirations are increasingly difficult to satisfy as the way we are ruled appears to be breaking our economy.

This fatal error on a grand scale has also severely undermined the basic unit of the nation and of culture, which is the family. An economy which reverses this is obviously urgently required to preserve us from total disintegration.

DEPENDENCY CULTURE

A sort of dependency culture has taken root at state and street level.

At the level of the elite, the ruling establishment are dependent on the patronage provided by the economic and influence machinery of a grand strategy which has collapsed. We are ruled by people whose careers rely on the output of a broken machine which is in fact breaking everything else.

The US grand strategy for the 1990s and beyond was an attempt to secure a standardised world under the leadership of the Americans, with its debt-consumer system secured by military supremacy and a liberalising cultural apparatus at home and abroad.

This utopia has not materialised, the world has fractured into great, emerging and declining powers, and the moment is uncertain. The new international order has not yet been born, though the old has certainly expired.

That it is not the 90s anymore is one way of seeing this wedding to a dead end.

Another dimension of the dependency created by the liberal-international political economy is that of direct and indirect dependence on government spending - secured of course by ever rising borrowing.

A further is the dependence on State-sanctioned explanations for the world as it is and should be.

Both of these addiction economies - of subsistence and of the supply of meaning - are bankrupt. This means they cannot continue to answer the needs of the people who rely on their supply.

The supply chain of this addiction economy has been cut by its own designs.

The beliefs it supplies contradict experience, the costs of an ever-expanding administrative state cannot be met, the financing of domestic “colour revolution” propaganda and NGOs is increasing impossible, and so on.

When addicts are deprived of their supply they do not instantly become reasonable.

A difficult period of detransition lies ahead.

THE LIMIT AND THE LESSON

In short, this is a system which refused to recognise the hard limits of reality.

Always a project of irrealism, the Whiggish progressive project has resulted in revolutionary chaos with neither direction nor solution from within the unrecognised limits of its own operating system.

We are the homeless children of this revolution.

In the 1920s - as “liberal democracy” was being installed in the West, a term was applied in Russia to those orphaned by Bolshevism.

It was bezprizorniki - “Those who are uncared for”.

It described the millions of unattended (or neglected) children in the streets. Their parents were dead, disabled or had discarded them due to poverty. War, hunger, migration and disease abandoned millions into a feral life of predatory crime.

The future of the nation had become a menace to a society which had shattered the family.

The result was misery, the moral and sexual corruption of children, their death by violence, cold and disease. The State sought any solution within its means to “liquidate” the parentless millions it had fostered into a feral life.

This was the result under a strong, centralised governing power whereas our system is disintegrating. There are benefits (as well as social costs) to the removal by bankruptcy of State benefits which include the support of millions made homeless by the criminal business of mass migration.

There is commonly no place like home for anyone these days, and that is a product of our economic policy.

A future politics can be built from the general recognition that we have been abused by our leadership. The recognition that the crisis we inhabit is not unique in the fact that it reduces to a choice between better and worse, good or evil. This happens at times of change, and we live in one now.

The depth of the crisis is the necessary permission required to correct it.

An emerging consensus towards the restoration of sanity, of human dignity and balance to the management of human affairs is behind the rejection of liberal globalism in the West. If the wars do not consume us all it is likely that the world thereafter will be changed, changed utterly.

How much terror and how much beauty will be born remains to be seen.

I am sleeping normally again and so will be back (God willing) on Friday.

The spiritual and intellectual poverty of our times is so profound that it often passes without notice.

It has been normalised by constant subtraction, leaving generations unaware of what has been lost, or even that there has been a loss at all.

This is an essay about what that means for our civilisation.

Whether we can reverse the rot which threatens to replace it with barbarism is a matter of recognition, then remembering, and finally of restoration.

It will take you about ten minutes to read.

Is our civilisation being destroyed?

Towards the end of his 13 part television series “Civilisation”, Kenneth Clark said civilisation is fragile and is always threatened by barbarism. It cannot be taken for granted and can be destroyed. At times, it is.

Do we live in such a time?

Clark listed the enemies of civilisation, which he said were:

“…first of all fear — fear of war, fear of invasion, fear of plague and famine, that make it simply not worthwhile constructing things, or planting trees or even planning next year’s crops.”

We have suffered a fearful plague under the Covid regime, and the threat of war is escalating. Today, few people are possessed of the optimism common a generation ago. Unbelief in the future is a sign that civilisation is endangered.

Another omen was noted by Clark - the fear of speaking out, which he described as the “fear of the supernatural”:

“…which means that you daren’t question anything or change anything.”

In what remains of Western civilisation there are penalties attached for questioning the ruling belief system.

Why civilisations die

The threat of a social or even financial death sentence for public heresy against the State religion further threatens the material prosperity, shared order and belief in the future which Clark says are all necessary for civilisation to survive.

When people no longer believe in the future the horizon of life shrinks to the self. Civilisation takes place on a far longer timescale. It is secured by its capability to endure, and as Clark says it is rotted by “cynicism and disillusionment” leading to the “destruction, fear and loss of creative confidence” which typifies barbarism.

Clark shows us that civilisation can be annihilated by demoralisation as well as by war. When man’s world shrivels to the limits of himself he becomes like an atom in a gas, a particle sublimated from something once solid. You can call this process of aimless atomisation liberating, and that is in fact what our mass culture does today.

Culture and Civilisation

We must not mistake what is for what was, nor for what can be. What we understand as culture today is in fact a replacement for cultural life and its origins, which are found in the family.

When we say the rights of family are prior to those of the State we are noting a fact whose consequences are not immediately visible.

The family predates the State - of course. Yet it also produces what makes life worth living, which is how TS Eliot once described culture.

The relationship of culture to civilisation is so close that the two are often used interchangeably. This shows us how important it is to understand what threatens our civilisation and what has replaced the culture it produced.

Of course, one reason why this is in turn significant is that our lives will be less worth living if the rot continues without reversal.

Recognising the rot

Culture cannot be remade by policy, but policies can be reversed and enacted which do not actively deracinate it.

The loam in which it flourishes can be watered instead of salted, bringing new life from the “flesh, fur and faeces” of our heritage.

The problem of the defence of civilisation is related to a misprision of historical causes, which Herbert Butterfield points out.

In “The Whig Interpretation of History” Butterfield shows how the progressive sages of our times judge the past from their momentary point of view - as if all human action inexorably progressed to produce themselves and their idea of the world, our purpose and its moral order.

The mistake being made is to see the past as a sort of hypotenuse, an upward slope of causes producing the effect of progress. This is the reasoning for permanent revolution. It is the foundation of all policies of replacing order with chaos, meaning with its opposite, and the value of life with price.

I have described this “progress” as precisely the sort of destruction which terminates a civilisation. It reduces the human condition to the absurd - to disharmony with the Natural law, rights and order. The result is moral collapse and social disorder resulting from the complete undermining of the recognition of objective reality, truth and morality1.

The zelotic belief that this terminus will be a sort of utopia inspires this recasting of the past from the present point in time, which in turn justifies everything that has been done towards an as yet unrealised and idealised future.

We must awaken from this delusion to fully understand the threat to our civilisation. This progressive belief system has produced a cult to replace our culture, which reduces all life to consumer sensations animated and advertised by the mobilisation of desire.

What we have in place of culture today is a symbol set transmitted by mass communication and infused with nihilistic fervour.

In this simulacrum of being and reality there is nothing more than wants. Demand is supplied for only what the product line of our political economy can offer. There is nothing more to life than what is presented, and there is no sin but the restriction of human action.

This is a license to universal barbarism, which is openly practised at the level of self and of the State.

Why are our politicians unprincipled and what is the future of the rotten party machines which require components over competents? To answer these questions is to understand the machinery of electoral success in the West.

In this essay I explain what machine politics is, where it comes from, where it is going and what might come next - with the help of technology.

This post is the tenth extract from my forthcoming book, A Brief History of Liberal Democracy.

A Century of Technique

Technique is the process of standardising results. It is seen in Western politics through the transition of political parties from their basis of principle to the practice of winning elections. This can be called machine politics.

Its context is the engineering of our society to present this politics as the supreme product in its line.

Why would anyone need an alternative to perfection?

I explained this technique in chapter eight here:

For over a century we have been increasingly ruled by media - the mediums of mass communication, education, workplace terms and online conditions, entertainment and all the products placed before us to consume including the output of our mass-market intellectuals.

This soft power was mobilised to dominate two spheres - foreign and domestic - meaning the purpose of cultural production collapsed the distinction between subversion overseas and abroad.

For this reason some commentators correctly observe there is no difference between foreign and domestic policy.

This technique - the sponsorship of mass culture - produces “soft power”.

MARSHMALLOW TOTALITARIANISM

This power is called “marshmallow totalitarianism” by the English writer Peter Hitchens.

Here is an explanation of this concept from 2017:

Hitchens…warned that an “established atheism” is creeping up on Britain.

Citizens are becoming the subjects of a “soft, marshmallow, totalitarianism”.

This does not involve dawn raids by secret police but instead subtle threats to employment and livelihood.

Hitchens said it is

“Made clear in the lives of particularly those who work in the public sector that there is no job security and there is no advancement if you will not conform…”.

In this case, the conformity is as it is in every case: to the liberal agenda, which makes compliance with trans-sanity a legal duty for employers - and those who wish to remain employed.

Hitchens also called the European Union a “marshmallow tyranny”, noting how the then Czech President Vaclav Klaus said:

“It is post-democracy, really, that rules the EU.”

Hitchens said in 2009,

The sticky, marshmallow bonds of the EU are obviously not the iron shackles of the old dictators. But they are bonds all the same, and once they are in place, the Czechs will have little to distinguish them from their neighbours apart from their beer, their literature, their music and their complex language.

From having been a country, they will become a regional oddity in a state called Europe.

This “post-democracy” is a forced consensus, and it is not enforced by the brutal and overt methods of Soviet Communism - but by a process which is familiar to practically anyone living in the West today.

In our marshmallow totalitarianism, the threat is usually much softer – the dissenter’s job and standing are threatened, and if he does not give in, his livelihood and his reputation are taken away.

The terms and conditions of the liberal consensus are enforced everywhere. We are surrounded by the sticky blob of the soft, sickly-sweet power of the liberal state.

Instead of the torture machine and Room 101 in the Ministry of Love, the Twitter Mob, howling with execration, incessant and relentless, frightens most bodies into sacrificing the necessary victim.

It seems to work. The chosen individual suffers, but everyone else soon gets used to it.

Why does this work? Consumer liberalism replaces norms with normlessness, God with nothing, and meaning with the memes of its machine. The result is a passive population with no principles.

Most people don’t have very strong convictions about anything, so they never get close to these threats, and just adapt.

An opinion becomes a principle when you lose something valuable in its defence. Hitchens says the rate of change from a principled politics to the manufacture of public opinion has been giddying:

I am endlessly amused by the behaviour of politicians and mainstream media persons, presenters of TV and radio shows etc, who have seamlessly shifted their received opinions in the last 30 years, and swallow things as normal which in the 1980s they would have regarded as stark staring mad.

This is the milieu in which machine politics makes most sense. Principles come at a price few are now prepared to pay. Why not offer something else instead?

TONY BLAIR: THE DARK LORD OF MACHINE POLITICS

Tony Blair is the greatest machine politician of our time. He invented the modern machine politics adopted from Canada to Canberra - and across the European continent.

He ditched the Labour Party’s foundational principle of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange - replacing materialist socialism with aspirational slogans - and permanent change.

This change, he said, would produce stability and prosperity.

For a time this seemed true, as British people were gaslit into disbelieving their eyes about the wave of mass migration which followed the upbeat jingle of “Things Can Only Get Better.”

A war in Iraq was confected which killed over a million historic Christians. It powered a surge in migrants from the Middle East, combining with the assault on Syria to produce the 2015 migration crisis.

After Blair came Cameron - a so-called “conservative” elected by following the Blairite playbook. His war in Libya, conducted with Hillary Clinton, smashed open the floodgates to African migration into Europe and Britain.

Later, his fellow Conservative Boris Johnson opened them wider - allowing 5.3 million migrants into the UK from 2020-2024.

How did all this happen? Machine politics made election victories possible in Britain, as elsewhere in the West, by completely disconnecting manifesto promises from policy.

A continuity politics was formed in which the same basic agenda of war, migration and rainbow flags was pursued by successive governments in red and blue ties - from the US to the Ukraine.

This is why Tony Blair matters - wherever you are in the West. Your politicians use his methods and his messaging, and they are looking to him to provide a way out of the mess their policies have made.

The basis of Blair’s super structured election machine is the economic system of global liberalism. It is in every dimension a war economy, requiring permanent wars abroad to continue its volcanic eruptions of borrowing, and using the resulting debt to finance the sponsorship of mass culture to manufacture electorally convenient public opinions.

The problem with this system without principles is that the populations it rules have begun to notice what it produces. The marshmallow appears to be toasted.

There are two remedies to this predicament:

1. Change the political economy - or

2. Change the process of power.

Blair is leading global leaders to do #2 by promising #1 to the voters.

Tony Blair invented the machine politics now used in almost every state in the liberal western empire. This machine is breaking down, as the information monopoly it requires has been broken.

This has happened for two reasons.

Reality contradicts the messaging of the captive media, and the media itself is no longer totally controlled.

Liberal democracies have responded by branding counter-liberal information as terrorism, treason or hate speech - and thereby sugaring the pill of censorship.

Elections are cancelled, rerun, and candidates criminalised. Parties offering an alternative to permanent war at home and abroad are branded as extremist.

The centre of machine politics cannot hold its ground, because the liberal system relies on soft and not hard power. It sanctions its own populations but refrains - in the main - from beating, imprisoning and directly killing them.

If it moves too far in this direction it openly discards its image, which is all it has to conceal its true nature. Liberal democracy is the rule by media of a permanent elite, and its elections are designed to prevent this from ever changing.

Tony Blair is now promoting a rapid transition from this form of governance to a total digital state. This would tie your behaviour and opinions to your ability to earn, eat and travel.

Freedom would be reduced to a choice to eat the marshmallow or starve.

The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change is serious about its mission, and it employs over 800 former government leaders, technocrats and specialists to achieve it. The mission is driven not only by Blair’s own messianic zeal - its success or failure is the fate of the liberal system.

Like Blair himself, the liberal-global system sincerely believes in whatever it is saying at the time. This self belief is infectious. A good actor will often say that to play the part well they must first convince themselves of the feeling they wish to convey.

This has been seen recently in the rebranding of global liberalism as the national interest in Canada, in the UK - and in the rerun Romanian election.

Politics is always part performance. Technique is always refining. With the use of technology an algorithm of governance can be developed to replace the Blairite electoral machine - delivering permanent continuity of policy regardless of elections, forever.

It will look like the perfect democracy onscreen. This is the ultimate advert - an illusion which cannot be escaped, an artificial paradise which everyone knows to be false, but in which the price of principled objection will be everything.

In the former East Germany, dissidents had their children taken away by the state to be raised by party loyalists.

Margot Honecker, wife of the German Democratic Republic’s dictator Erich, did this. Here is the “Purple Witch” in 1989 talking about the technique of moulding the young to defend an economic system.

Ours is a time of struggle. It needs youth who can fight to strengthen socialism who can defend it with word and deed - and when necessary - with a weapon in the hand.

Two forms of total state control have dissolved in the last few decades.

Where there are weapons in the hands of young people, they are now often carried and used by the peoples the liberal system has imported into the nations it wishes to replace - with a global consumer marketplace.

It is this reality which is radicalising men, women and children against a system whose only future guarantee of security and order is a digital prison.

The liberal machine also uses word and deed to defend its ideology.

Ideology is an advertisement for an economic model.

The one we live in has reduced peoples to consumers and life to a product, translating all meaning into values reducible to number.

The technique of machine politics is the standardisation of humanity.

If the human can be reduced to the terms and conditions of a permanent online community, social media will be the only society we know. A suspension or ban will have real life consequences which will be experienced but never really seen.

Soft power suffocates in silence those who spit out its sugar-substitutes.

To a dissolving empire, desperate not to lose, the combination of Blairite messaging and technology promise a lifeline which will never run out.

The technique you are now seeing from the liberal remnant is this: we have the answers to the problems we have caused, and for this security you will have to give up your liberty.

It is the latest stage of the permanent war on our civilisation which the liberal system has waged for over a century.

Every one of its wars reduced personal freedom, with belief, behaviour and being snared in an ever decreasing circle. Before the First World War, an Englishman had practically nothing to do with the State outside the Post Office.

Now, throughout the West, there is practically nothing you can do without it.

The machinery of permanent politics is everywhere, in our films, our supermarkets, in codes of conduct, in medical ethics and in the values and standards of the armed forces. It is forever on our screens.

It should be a source of inspiration to you that this total system has not produced total power.

Look at the face of Tony Blair, and that of his acolytes in Britain, Canada, and in the EU. These are not confident expressions. Boasts of visionary strength and swift remedies are no longer convincing. Reality speaks against them, and the time horizon is within sight.

If you would like to know what a time horizon is and why it matters, see here:

FUTURE POLITICS

Machine politics is having a breakdown, and it can only be replaced - not repaired. The obscene conditions set by the formerly unlimited terms of liberal machine politics are reshaping the political calculus beyond its control.

Will the digital transition come in time to save the old world order?

The state of emergency created by the liberal agenda and its economics of crisis is now being used to promote the digital remedy.

A system designed to prevent meaningful change now urges it with its every act. The marshmallow centre cannot hold.

It is into what, not whether this change will come - and it is within our time that it will certainly arrive.

I am a busy bee in Washington DC at the moment and I shall be talking about that when I get home.

For the time being I think it very helpful to diagnose the contribution of liberal modern beliefs to the omnicrisis we inhabit.

This post will help you understand why the recognition of the wrong direction taken by the modern West explains why grave moral evil has been normalised and institutionalised in our politics and society.

Finally, I show that this condition is not irreversible. It is vital to recognise the causes of the terrible effects we endure in order to remove them. This is what it means to build a practical strategy to restore our civilisation.

Introduction - The Evils of Modern Society

The evil of modern society is so prevalent that even atheists and progressives can no longer ignore it.

Our economies foster and monetise dependency and addiction, and the global agenda of the liberal regimes amounts to a total war on our civilisation, often partnered with the waging of wars abroad.

That we are ruled into chaos by the wicked is a fact which unites an increasing number of people in the formerly free world.

How did Christendom fall so fast - into a state in which it is legal to buy and sell AI-edited babies?

The worship of technology is producing a nightmarish vision of hell on earth - governed by algorithm - whilst the artificial means of the production of human life promise to replace mothers and the family.

Today we consider how a remarkable letter from Leo XIII predicted the rottenness of the modern state we are in - and how his remedy - to restore all in Christ - would prove to be more urgent now than ever before.

THE POISON AND THE REMEDY

Before Pope Leo XIII wrote the nine encyclicals of the Catholic Social Teachings, he released an encyclical letter in 1878.

Echoing the great victories at the siege of Malta, at Lepanto - and that of the first Pope Leo who turned back Attila the Hun from Rome, Inscrutabili speaks of

“On the evils affecting modern society: their causes and remedies”.

Pope Leo XIII does not endorse the reduction of human life to a component in global trade1. He does not recommend the dismantling of industrial civilisation.

Nor does he celebrate the acceptance of mortal sin in the lives of those so given to it that their identities are secured in their disordered sexual behaviour.

Leo XIII reminds us of the duty of the Pope - to condemn the defection from the teachings of the Catholic Church, founded by Christ Himself - and to warn men of the damnation they face here and in eternity in their dedication instead to sin.

In this series I have referred to Etienne Gilson’s excellent book on the Catholic Social Teachings, titled The Church Speaks to the Modern World.

It is a complete guide to the nine encyclicals themselves - and adds at the end the letter which began what is now called the Leonine Corpus.

This letter not only shows how the defection from the Church of Christ is the root of all evil in our modern world.

It speaks of a Catholic Church which was fearless and valiant, which won wars against overwhelming odds, and for which heroic men would face death without fear.

The power of the writings of Pope Leo XIII is tremendous.

He was a lion of the faith, worthy of the name of Pope Leo the Great - whose great piety turned back the tide of the Huns.

In the eleven pages of this letter is a call from the deep which could reawaken the West.

DE PROFUNDIS CLAMAVI

Out of the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord

Psalm 129

Our world is mired in grave moral evil. This serious condition accompanies a culture of public discourse which is unserious beyond the ridiculous.

It is shocking, therefore, to read anything which speaks simply and profoundly to the crisis of our times.

After almost a hundred and fifty years, the modern world described by Leo XIII has become a nihilistic void devouring everything.

The meaning of the Church, the meaning of life, and the meaning of words have all slipped into its black mouth.

See how Inscrutabili opens. Read its list of modern ills. In every case, from the foundation of human understanding to the corruption of the State, the sickness diagnosed here now resembles a terminal condition.

In the liberal world we are ruled by “obstinate minds” which will not recognise even the authority of basic reality.

Political policy agitates and mobilises factions of grievance, whose grievances against the facts of life are stirred into an inverted heroism with calls to save the planet from mankind, to liberate mankind into grave moral evil, and to destroy our nations for the profit of a system so corrupt it relies on digital tyranny to preserve its power.

Such people present themselves as “champions of country, of freedom, of every kind of right”. It is hard to name some moral outrage which has not been championed as a human right.

Since the time of Leo XIII, wrongs have become rights. Political power and the Godless social revolutions it promotes presents the destruction of our Christian civilisation as a creative solution to the human condition.

As Leo XIII says, it is necessary to point out the seriousness of the situation in order to take action to restore what has been lost.

Our world cannot be saved with ecumenical humanism. We need men with the hearts of lions.

THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH - RECIVILISATION

That the Catholic Church should say the rejection of its teachings is the root of all evil in the modern world may come as no surprise to some.

To others it is remarkable the Church would defend its own teachings at all.

This is a case that is explained, however - and not stated as some empty axiom:

Leo XIII says the idea of civilisation is a fantasy if it is not defined in the defence of the truth, the unchanging virtues and the natural justice through which God inspires an order which promotes human flourishing.

How stark is Leo’s warning of annihilation today, when the Church speaks not to the modern world in this way - but speaks for the modern agenda instead?2

Leo XIII says that to see sanely “the age in which we live, so hostile to religion and to the Church of Christ”, is indeed to see

“…our epoch is rushing wildly along the straight road to destruction”.

The mission of the Church is the salvation of souls. Its task is also the defence of the foundations of civilisation, as the replacement of the unchanging principles of truth and justice by nothingness are an insult to God which delivers man into ruin.

There is no civilisation without the Church.

THE FIGHT BEGINS AT HOME

Pope Leo reminds us that the defence of civilisation begins not with the State, but with the family - the basic unit of the nation made in the image of God.

Prayer and family may seem a feeble remedy, until an explanation of the Catholic worldview supplies the large scale effect of Christian marriage and family life.

Pope Leo XIII shows how we may rescue our nations from the mass production of “rotten stock”:

This is a letter which reminds us that overwhelming odds were overcome in the battle at Lepanto through the weapon of the Holy Rosary.

It shows us the poverty of modern life, in its reduction to the “insatiable seeking after self-interest alone”, with our brief days dissolved into the desires of the flesh, the wanting and having of things.

THE CAUSE OF CHRIST IS HEROIC

Correctly understood this letter is a call to arms. How deep is the call is the measure of the depth of those who hear it.

To those who have lived in vain for a cause, this is your fight.

To those who despair, this is your hope.

All is not lost. Everything is at stake. The hour is late.

It is time to take up the Cross. This is the Good Fight. It is for Christ, the Light of the World. Will you stand with Him to beat back the darkness?

This is the question that is hidden in the lines of Pope Leo XIII. Followed by some of the most resplendent wisdom in history, Inscrutabili is the bugle in the morning, calling men from their slumbers to stand to and fight to the end - however their end may come.

In this third post on the economic omnicrisis we inhabit I am going to go on about how our debt system funds a vast and ever expanding dependency culture of administrative bureaucrats who have the power to decree a social death sentence on the sane.

Part one is here, part two is here.

Here are the contents of Part Three. It should take you 7 minutes to read.

IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID

The lanyard class polices belief in the moral theology of Liberalism.

It gatekeeps access to government services and to professional and working life.

If you disagree with the nonsense of equality or (say) with the moral nihilism produced by ever-progressing rights packaged as progress, you face potentially career-ending penalties and social ostracism.

Why does the Lanyard Class enforce the social death penalty for blasphemy against the false idols of the Liberal State Religion?

The manufacture and management of mass belief is produced by the ambition of standardising the world under a standard economics secured by a monopoly on explanatory power. This means the economic system supplies your political, moral and indeed religious beliefs.

We are ruled by rules set and sponsored in messaging from their sponsors, the elite which seeks to profit at our collective loss, and whose international debt model is the reason these mad beliefs are confected and sold as the only respectable opinions.

All of them help to dissolve nations, our history, culture, memory and the meaning of our lives, which can then be replaced with the product lines of international consumer-nihilism on credit.

One example described by Big Time Charlie is “human quantitative easing”, which of course is the economic function of mass migration.

Mass migration is marketed as a human rights issue.

In reality it is simply the supply of ever more hungry consumers to maintain a consumer economy secured on the access to credit.

The economy as is dies without unlimited immigration. With it, our nations die.

This is called progress and if you object to it you are called names and sentenced to social death.

There are reasons for the sponsorship and transmission of these cult beliefs. The sponsors do not believe in them, but it serves their economic vision of a globally standardised world that you believe in them - or else.

In this way many millions of people form a dependency on the supply of beliefs secured by the demands of a lanyard class whose power makes your access to services, employment and promotion contingent on your compliance.

This is a form of command economy wherewith economic opportunity is conditional on the terms set by those issuing the commands.

The liberal-internationalist political economy fosters a mass culture of dependence, far broader than the obvious one of the Lanyard Class itself - whose white collar makework would vanish if there were no international system to sponsor its existence.

To produce dependence by economic and political policy is morally wrong as it is universally degrading to human dignity.

The way our economy is structured requires mass belief in nation-dissolving dogma because it serves the ambition to standardise the world. This is “globalism”, and its religion requires a caste of theocratic adminstrators, which is another way of understanding the Lanyard Class.

Where its power is secured in the hearts and minds of people, it supplies the beliefs which constitute the meaning of their lives and their moral reasoning.

Its magic relies on the belief that what is new is the same as what was normal, and is also better, whilst producing in reality an international nowhereland animated by delusions.

The Lanyard Class as Ideological State Apparatus

The Lanyard Class represent what Althusser would have called in theory an ISA - Ideological State Apparatus - which in practice is an RSA or Repressive State Apparatus.

According to the Marxist Althusser an Ideological State Apparatus maintains social order and reproduces its power through ideology rather than physical force - shaping beliefs, values, and habits to make the existing power structure feel natural and inevitable.

The additional acronym TINA - There Is No Alternative - is a latent belief in the general population which is produced as a large scale effect of this method of dominance managed by the Lanyard Class.

The repressive aspect of the Lanyard Class resides in their power to pronounce a social and career death sentence on any dissidents.

Though the meme which headlines this rather long post is amusing, the effects we suffer in being ruled by John Lanyard Keynesianism are not.

I am describing a system which is financed by massive borrowing to make an increasingly miserable and demoralising life inescapable.

Tax and Spend it on the Lanyard Class

The economics of John Lanyard Keynesianism are destructive.

It takes as axiomatic - a belief requiring no proof beyond its declaration - that taxing the population to fund an ever expanding State is Good.

This belief is invisible because it is mistaken for a basic duty of the State. It is normalised by the Lanyard Class in partnership with the manufactured mass culture which has replaced normal life with the norms of the political economy which sponsors its messaging.

Over the last century the Liberal State has expanded well beyond the capacity of the tax base to fund it, and so government and its progressive, internationalist administration demands vast borrowing to make up the difference between what can be afforded and achieved in reality and fantasy and desire demand instead.

One thing you must have in the latter case is a corps which administers the State religion in their bureaucratic capacity, managing into being a ballooning class of people whose living is made by making yours worth less.

They demand higher borrowing because without it the structure of their lives collapses. They are a white collar dependency culture in the business of justifying their own existence at your expense.

The Lanyard Class enforces the demands of an impossible utopia - a dream which we can neither realise nor afford, as it is based on clear and distinct impressions of things which are simply not real.

What is real, of course, is the scale of the economic crisis this Grand Illusion has produced.

Paying for the lanyard class in public administration requires more borrowing, which rots the value of the money you earn under their humourless supervision and destroys the meaning of your life by making your livelihood dependent on submission to the suicidal new norms it is their duty to install.

Why Work is a Four Letter Word

Work is now largely a joyless activity due to pervasive lanyardism, policed by people whose survival as credible members of society depends directly on the political economy which requires them.

What could these people do if this class were to be defunded? It is unthinkable to the Lanyard Class, as they cannot conceive of a world which sees them as cursemongers on the dole. That is the world we are living in now.

The lanyard class is a debt-financed life support machine for a belief system practically no one but them believes in anymore.

Their lives depend on it, and the life of the rights-based State which discharges none of its duties depends on them in turn.

The Lanyard Class is, like much of our political economy, a Ponzi scheme - running on mandated bullshit and the destruction of the public finances to maintain a death grip on the destiny of our civilisation.

The National Interest Rate

The rate of engagement with what might be in the National Interest is rising.

The way we have been ruled has left us in Britain with a net national debt of around 3 trillion pounds, with annual interest payments on this debt at over £109 billion. In the USA the debt is around $40 trillion.

This is due to the hyperfinancialisation of our lives made necessary by the transition towards a global economic model of universal liberal consumer nihilism.

This financial crisis is going to get worse as global supply chain shocks combine with this international debt crisis to produce the omnicrisis I am on about in this series.

I think the financial crisis that is coming has no defined limits and will change the political calculus in the West completely.

In short, we have been bankrupted morally and financially by the costs of an impossible utopian project to lanyardise the world.

I go on about this here, in a recent speech for Restore Britain in Gateshead. I mention the Lanyard Class at 4:00, and the social death penalty for demanding a sane economics and politics at around 5:20.

A Terminal Crisis

The entire system is terminally unstable. The Lanyard Class is doomed, as they represent an increasingly unpopular subscription model whose terms are responsible for the awful condition of our lives.

If you are sane, it is unsurprising to discover that people who sport nylon nooses as a symbol of authority are perceived as public executioners of the dignity of our lives.

Besides the spiritual and existential dimension to the Lanyard Plague, in an economic meltdown we simply cannot afford to finance an army of fanatics waving a flag for a vanishing empire.

Crisis on this scale concentrates the public mind, and basic necessity will naturally override bizarre conditions for access to dwindling resources.

The populations hectored by this adjacent but distant caste of self-anointed Brahmins are revolting not because they are deplorable, but due to the deplorable condition into which John Lanyard Keynesianism has managed their lives.

The coming crisis will be severe. It will present our people with a life or death decision. This is an historic opportunity to change the system, as only a crisis of this magnitude would make it not only thinkable, but necssary. The question facing us all can be reduced to this:

Do you prefer to suffer more for more of the same, or do you prefer not to?

Today we shall see how the “lanyard class” is paid to enforce the State Religion of liberal-globalism, inspired by bizarre and destructive political superstitions.

This is a post about The Lanyard Class War and the role of this political-administrative class in the policing of mass belief.

This post should take you nine minutes to read.

In it, I show how the blind came to lead the sighted into national suicide.

I also explore the development of political technique from the “Managerial Revolution” of James Burnham, comparing the Lanyard Class to the apparatchiks in the Soviet Union whose livelihoods depended on the defence of the ruling ideology.

This is my second post about how our debt system funds a vast and ever expanding dependency culture of administrative bureaucrats.

THE LANYARD CLASS AND THE PERMANENT AGENDA

This agenda of open borders, rainbow flags, war and mass migration continues regardless of elections, eduring by means of the dissolving of ideological continuity into NGOs and a class of apparatchiks - people whose careers and purpose in life depend entirely on the survival of this ideology.

You find these apparatchiks in the media, appearing as “thought leaders” and “influencers”, they pop up in entertainment, and administer public health, education, directing the decisions of professional accreditation bodies, staffing the upper tiers of the military, teaching in the universities,governing the workplace through HR departments.

The Lanyard Class exercise the power of totem and taboo in every public and private body of consequential decision-making capacity. They profess and police the beliefs by which we are ruled, which can be described as the State Religion of Liberal-Globalism.

If you do not believe in this make belief, you will be voodoo cursed into unpersonhood and possibly ruined or even imprisoned.

The unelected Lanyard Class mandate your submission to madness on pain of social death.

You can read about how the Liberal State Religion functions here:

The lanyard class is not a joke, nor a vague slur. It is one means by which the State exercises the power of mandatory belief in itself as a condition for the terms it sets for your life.

I think the lanyard class cognate with the apparatchiki of the Soviet Union - people whose careers depend on their defence and transmission of the State religion, and whose livelihoods rely on the survival of the ideology they transmit in whichever administrative role they occupy.

The Lanyard Class cannot be removed by elections contested between liberal parties of the same consensus which the Lanyard Class exists to perpetuate.

One crisis additional to the ones I mention here is the crisis of competence in the Lanyard Class itself, as it selects its membership not on the basis of merit, integrity or ability but on ideological loyalty which reduces to the sanctification of irrational beliefs.

THE UNNATURAL NATURE OF PROGRESSIVE BELIEF

These beliefs become progressively more insane because they are progressive.

This means the beliefs by which we are ruled become more bonkers as a function of time, because to remain the same is to refuse “progress”.

Progressives believe all history has led us to the point in time represented by Progressives and Progress, with human civilisation having therefore no meaning other than the production of the crisis we inhabit today, into which we have been delivered by this revolution of destruction powered by the massification and normalistion of delusion.

The function of the Lanyard Class is to make these delusions durable.

Delusions which endure despite the evidence of reason and experience to the contrary are categorised as mental illness in modern psychiatry.

Of course, an exception is made on the basis of manners to beliefs arising from “cultural or religious background”. Psychiatry is silent on the subject of a mass culture creating mass belief in a range of counter-reality political idols.

This is the State we are in today, with the Lanyard Class acting as a sort of priestly caste to sanctify the captured and profane the sane.

The power of the Lanyard Class can be explained in part by an understanding of the engineering of social revolution.

The effective replacement of the beliefs of our Christian civilisation with rainbow lanyardism is caused in part by the magnification of the role of increasingly ideological bureaucratic administration in social and national life.

This in turn is one effect of another revolution: The Managerial Revolution.

MANAGED INTO MADNESS: FROM BURNHAM TO LANYARDISM

The Lanyard Class is the managerial class of James Burnham plus ideology as State Religion.

The Burnhamite “Managerial Revolution” (1941) was about recognising the rising power of the concept and practice of management in the maximisation of efficiency, which became known as “rationalisation” and later “reform”.

Burnham’s ideas produced an axiomatic belief in management which reduced to the idea of unquestioning deference to managerial decision making.

This in turn partnered with the machine politics of Blairism in pursuing permanent change by means of public policymaking and managerially administered decision making by delegating State sovereignty into unelected bodies to continue the fixed internationalist agenda.

This agenda is transmitted to the general population in the form of secular religious belief.

The lanyard class makes access to employment and to state services conditional on the acceptance, tacit or explicit, of the mandatory belief system of the liberal-global political economy.

These beliefs reduce to superstitions, far more absurd than any unsympathetic reading of the explanation of the nature of being and reality offfered in the traditional teachings of the Church.

THE SUPERSTITIOUS RELIGION OF THE LANYARD CLASS

To study John Lanyard Keynesianism is to study the practical application of the beliefs and ideas supplied by our political economy to make us believe in it - and only in it.

This means you find out there are religious beliefs transmitted and reinforced by people who are nominally paid to serve the public or the interests of the company which employs them.

In practice, the lanyard class apply the idea that ideologically inspired management can solve all social problems by the transmission and enforcement of its administrative and progressive worldview.

This “Please remember not to rape ” leaflet is a good example of the wacky superstitions that the Lanyard Class insist are the terms and conditions of the borderless utopia they believe they are managing into being.

Our access to services and the means of making a living are conditional on accepting fantasy beliefs which “make sense” of the transition to a borderless international bazaar populated by self interested bargain hunters.

The belief illustrated above is that all men are equally capable of liberal enlightenment if sufficient numbers of leaflets are printed.

The liberal idea itself rests on a series of superstitions.

One is the inflexible belief in the moral and intellectual uplift of all humanity as a function of time (progress).

Another is universal human equality, a mandatory delusion which contradicts the obvious and changeless difference in the human distribution of intellect, aptitude, strength, moral sense and the faculties required to realistically conceive of the consequence of actions, to recognise beauty and the divine, and to create the sort of culture which makes life worth living (for example).

Liberal democracy is a weapon of mass destruction delivering moral and spiritual nihilism through the promises of progress and the ever advancing causes of “rights”.

These are not the natural rights of a sane and orderly world view, but the permissioning of wrongs motivated by advertised and manufactured grievance.

Rights-worship simply permissions grave injuries to the common good, replacing the meaning of life with price and personal preference. Taken together, the “rights-based” movements amount to a declaration of war on our entire civilisation, and are an attack on the idea of reality itself, replacing the objective truth, morality and nature of being with a series of perspectives and preferences whose “ethical” status is dictated by a never-ending “progress”.

This means these beliefs must by necessity become ever more extreme, or “progress” stops and we all face the unseemly performance we inhabit.

Without the delirious music of this preposterous view of the imaginary moral purpose of time the very idea of progress in the progressive sense is evidently ridiculous and its product offensive to reason and morality alike.

These ideas are so absurd they cannot survive an honest argument, and that is why you are threatened with the social death penalty if you try to have one.

The Lanyard Class demand you submit to these cult beliefs or face career-ending consequences.

It is widely known in the British Army, for example, that practically no one is promoted beyond the rank of major who refuses to salute the Banner of Satan.

You can read about this in a bit more detail here if you like:

LANYARD LEADERS

Justin Trudeau, Jacinda Ardern, David Cameron, Keir Starmer and Ursula von der Leyen are some obvious examples of John Lanyard Keynesianism in political leadership.

Mark Carney would qualify today, as would anyone such as Andy Burnham who promotes the “fixed” policies of the internationalist agenda, such as the war in Ukraine, financed of course by ever rising debt and obvious damage to our strategic and national interests.

WHY THE LANYARD CLASS SEES NO EVIL IN ITSELF

The Lanyardists do not recognise their belief system as a cult as they are in effect made convicts by the progressive convictions which unite them.

As the fat Stalinist Mr Zizek says,

“When ideology ishz total it issh invishible (sniff)”

For example, this man cannot see the Lanyard Class because he is a member of it, being an academic fellow at a former polytechnic (Teeside “university”).

Mr Gray cannot recognise this fact as he does not believe in religious belief and so cannot see that it is religious belief which unites him with all the otherwise seemingly disparate members of his Lanyard Class.

THE LANYARD CLASS WAR: VENGEANCE ON CIVILISATION

Mr Gray cannot see any of this because like all liberals he likely believes his beliefs are simply “normal” and “natural” and “what all decent people believe”.

He must believe this belief because his livelihood is built on its defence. There is a second reason and that is the fact that Liberals believe themselves better and indeed best because of their liberal beliefs.

Liberals therefore cannot comprehend how anyone can reject their beliefs without being ignorant, nasty or brutish, and so they curse you in unpleasant terms designed to toxify your reputation if you do so.

This of course is chauvinism in the sense of an automatic prejudice rooted in the belief in the superiority of oneself according to group membership.

It is shocking to liberals to discover they are chauvinists and so they don’t.

They do not recognise themselves in the mirror and code negatively any such reflection as might produce an accurate image of their true face.

This is why they call you a bigot or a racist or a nazi if you point out, correctly, that their belief system is not only false but civilisationally suicidal.

When the liberal-global belief system is applied in practice, as through the work of the lanyard class, it is universally destructive to meaning and material wealth alike - being a sort of vengeance by policy on our people and our culture.

This is the meaning of the Lanyard Class War. It is waged by your taxes on everything of value in your life, including the meaning and value of your life.

In the final part I will further explain how the Lanyard Class operates as a repressive and ideological State apparatus, being a caste of belief-discipline funded by soaring government borrowing.

Happily, I will show why the Lanyard Class is doomed by the developing omnicrisis we inhabit, which is an historic opportunity for real change.

In this third post on the economic omnicrisis we inhabit I am going to go on about how our debt system funds a vast and ever expanding dependency culture of administrative bureaucrats.

This “Lanyard Class” is bought and paid for by borrowing - a model of state management professed by Mr Keynes.

I have tried to write a decent treatment of what the Lanyard Class is, what it does and why their certain doom will be welcomed by the sane. Part one appears today, with two parts to follow.

In this first instalment on The Lanyard Class I say something of Mr Keynes, the power of ideas, and explain in brief the function of the Lanyard Class.

It should take you five minutes to read.

Part One:

John Lanyard Keynesianism: Economics, politics and the policing of mass belief

CONTENTS

• The Rainbow Warrior Mr John Maynard Keynes

• The Power of Ideas is the Power of the Lanyard Class

• One Lanyard to Rule Them All

• Origins of the term “lanyard class”

• The Function of the Lanyard Class

Notes on Mr Keynes

John Maynard Keynes is far more interesting than my reductionist reading of his economic theory as expounded in The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1935–36).

He said in that book

“Ideas shape the course of history”

Keynes went on to say which ideas he thought significant.

“The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood.”

One reason for this is that in an age when culture is identified with the contents of mass communication it can be readily manipulated to coincide with the concepts convenient to this or that political or economic theory.

The ideas which rule us are bad ideas because they are bad for everyone, producing moral nihilism, dissolving meaning and nations, and delivering us all into living debt.

Making these ideas popular is the role of cultural production.

Making your life conditional upon them is the role of the lanyard class.

The Power of Ideas is the Power of the Lanyard Class

The lanyard class is financed by government borrowing. This class manages and polices your access to government and state services and sets the terms and conditions of your working life.

The lanyard class can and do enforce a social and career death penalty for public heresy against the international rainbow nihilism informally known as “the globalist agenda”.

This means our lives are made joyless and conditional upon adherence to the worship of the idols of our consumer-nihilist political economy, whose every wrong is presented as an unquestionable right.

The ideas shaping the course of our history, present, past and future, are those of the international state religion. The Lanyard Class is a sponsored tier of State and State-aligned ideological bureaucrats whose livelihoods depend on the defence of the political economy of civilisational suicide.

One Lanyard to Rule Them All

Mr Keynes, who was a keen cyclist, went on:

“Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist."

I have argued in the previous post that the ideas supplied by our manufactured culture have been crafted to effectively enslave us, as if by enlightened consent, to an almost defunct economic system which sees mass immigration as a basic necessity.

Perhaps my point does not seem so extraordinary when put beside Mr Keynes’ remark, which is noteworthy for suggesting the power economics wields over the ideas we believe, and not for good reason, that we believe we believe in freely.

The not good reason we believe we have arrived at our beliefs freely is basically vanity. It is embarassing to accept we believe what we do in some cases because we believe in ideas supplied to support the demands of political economists.

I am saying that the religious belief in open borders, the raibow flag, the climate cult, in hysterical progressive cults of grievance advertised as the fight for rights are produced and transmitted as our working and social culture because they align with an economic objective: to standardise and manage the entire world in a single system.

JM Keynes - “Rainbow warrior”?

Keynes probably deserves the rainbow lanyard he sports in this witty meme, as he was in his early adult life an enthusisastic homosexualist, before moving on to affairs with women. He died childless despite marrying the Russian ballerina Lydia Lopokova and spending twenty years with her before his death in 1946.

Origins of the term

The Lanyard Class is a term popularised by Maurice Glasman in 2025, but usage goes back at least ten years.

It commonly denotes the managerial rank of the liberal regime which serves as the interface between the ruling elite and the ruled.

“Lanyardism” is a more recent term, denoting the sort of rule setting and policing which typifies the behaviour of administrators in public health, education, HR departments and the civil service (for example).

The observation that the lanyard class and its ideology (“Lanyardism”) typifies a detachment from those ruled or managed is significant.

Since the Second World War the Liberal State has been against its people and increasingly disconnected from their interests and their thinking.

It has imported by policy the “chaos of global modernity” to replace our way of life.

The Function of The Lanyard Class

The lanyard class occupies every office of every institution to direct the population into submission to an agenda which is at best parallel to their every basic interest, and is presented in total as the only respectable position to hold.

The recognition that state power is inimical to the fundamental demands for a decent life shows that this is a question beyond the forced consensus of party politics which is presented as the pinnacle of democracy.

This is increasingly understood because the actions of this power are so obviously and universally destructive that the effect is to unite anyone not dependent on the State against its permanent agenda.

Maurice Glasman has spoken (at around 3:50 here) about why the Lanyard Class is despised - because they humourlessly police the mismatch between the rhetoric of government and the miserable reality its policies have produced.

Glasman also stresses the disconnection of government from the governed, and in more detail the departure of the Labour Party from the interests and demands of the working class they were founded to represent.

The recognition of the Lanyard Class, its function and its perception by the public is essential to understanding the nihilism of a political economy that relies on mass immigration to survive, against the wishes of the governed, and at the expense of the security, dignity and meaning of their lives.

The crisis we inhabit increasingly resembles the terminal crisis of the international economic model which produced the political consensus normalised throughout our lifetimes.

This economic-politics is policed by a class of nylon-noosed commissars whose existence can only be justified if we accept that our own is secondary to the success of the political economy of national suicide.

This is the reason I think it is important to recognise the existence of the Lanyard Class and the function it performs in securing the power of a system which is clearly not for but against us.

In the second part I will explore how the Lanyard Class came to preserve the permanent agenda of the political economy of liberal internationalism.

I will argue that it mandates belief in irrational superstitions to set the terms and conditions of our increasingly joyless working and social lives, and will explain why the Lanyard Class is blind to its own existence.

Mass migration is a business partnered with the Liberal State and its NGO apparatus. This economic reality is obscured by political and social messaging.

In this second post on the economic omnicrisis I hope to explain something of the economic and political forces behind the mass migration crisis.

It will take you about 12 minutes to read.

I will show how the derecognition of the reality of tribe is partnered with manufactured beliefs whose purpose is to normalise the optimisation of the economic basis of the international system. I also give some in depth detail on the tribal criminal networks powering small boat migration into Britain.

Demographic replacement in the West is a business permissioned by political policy and it can be seen as a side effect of the economic imperative to have more consumers.

As we shall see, it also serves the geopolitical aim of standardising all the nations into a single global blob.

My post will show you some surprising facts about this business, the economic model which promotes it, and (for example) calls for mass deportations in Africa.

ZULUS DEMAND REMIGRATION

There are no Black People in Africa. When you realise this, the narrative of race and migration we are presented dissolves.

At face value this statement seems ridiculous. If you look at how the business of mass migration is going in Africa you will begin to see what I mean about the misnomer of “Black People”.

Later, you will see how the recognition of tribe explains much of the political economy of human trafficking marketed as mass migration - and presented to us as an opportunity to welcome refugees and be strengthened by diversity.

OPERATION DUDULA

The Zulu do not see themselves as “Black People” but as a nation, which means they are a people whose identity is based on kinship, and the meaning and mode of their lives is furnished by the customs and history of their tribe. Since they recognise their nation as their people, they are now defending themselves from replacement in their homelands.

Operation Dudula (“Force Out” or “Pushback” in Isizulu) is a continuing campaign by Zulus to send migrants into South Africa back home.

The predominantly Zulu campaign group have been active since 2021 and chant “Abahambe!” or “Mabahambe!” (“They must go!”) as they burn out migrant houses, set up roadblack ID checks, picket public facilities, and pressurise migrant businesses and traders.

The familiar complaints about migrantion made by Dudula include linking migrants to high native unemployment, rising crime, involvement in drug dealing, and increased demand for already limited housing, jobs, government benefits and services. No one in the West has (so far) called the Zulus “racist” as they are percieved as “Black”, which of course ignores reality completely.

The same reasons are supplied in South Africa for migration as to you: migration leads to lower wages, destruction of working benefits and conditions, and the belief that migrants work harder than natives.

Migration causes the same effects everywhere it is supplied at scale. These effects are taboo to mention in the West, for reasons which are also obvious but also obviously deeply damaging to the ruling consensus. Migration ruins your life, and if you mention that fact - and the fact it is a business - this could wreck the whole show.

The Liberal State profits from the loss you incur in your life, perhaps including the loss of your life, and so do the tribal networks which supply a lot of migrants.

Of course, if you are White, you cannot recognise the interests of your own tribe without penalties. You may suffer a social death sentence for noticing that the profits generated by mass migration come at the loss of your safety, security, status and eventually your nation entirely.

For the same reason you cannot acknowledge that EVERYONE ELSE can (and routinely does) identify with the interests of their tribe.

CONSOLATION PRIZES

Instead, you can pour your need for identity into the vessels of membership and togetherness produced by our mass culture.

These crazes and consumer habits are consolation prizes for the loss of God and the deprivation of your identity as a people with distinct and precious customs, history, homelands and culture.

McCustoms like the worship of diversity or rainbow flags provide a dormitory for your homeless sense of who you are and what your life is supposed to mean.

This is why a lot of white people self organise into Liberal Tribes of political idolatry and personal affiliation.

The Liberal Tribes

The intense feeling invested in the cults of George Floyd and now Jason Arday are one example of membership and belonging provided by irrational beliefs ignoring any wider moral or epistemic structure in reality.

There is the weird feminist cult of dressing up like a character from The Handmaid’s Tale whilst ignoring the fact you are most likely to be raped by the “refugees” the same women say we must welcome.

There are cults of sexual extremism, of mass consumer totemism, of the climate and of the counter-factual history now replacing historical memory.

There was a cult of mask wearing and “vaccine” taking which persecuted the prudent.

These cults are fuelled by displaced longing for belonging and belief - it is religious zealotry for the Godless.

This phenomenon also includes celebrity worship (“Swifties”) and sports team tribes, which are more obviously economic functions processing human appetites of purpose and tribal participation into products.

These are some of the substitute tribes into which you are permitted to invest your identity. Their existence is made necessary by the fact the international economic model requires everything but itself must go in order for it to gain and retain power.

One effect of these tribal beliefs in diversity and diversion is that the real motives behind mass migration are seldom recognised.

SMALL BOAT MIGRATION - A BIGGER PICTURE

Means, method, motive

Small boat migration is the business of people smuggling. It relies on international criminal networks whose supply of the means of transport is partnered with a method made possible by the permissive policies of the Liberal political economy.

This report from 2024 shows the dominant players in this industry of human trafficking.

The business of people smuggling is a tribal custom amongst Kurds from Iraq and Turkish nationals.

Of course, small boat migration is only a fraction of the millions admitted by successive governments in the US, UK and Europe. The transition to a global system and from producer to consumer economies is optimised by the supply of new economic units performing economic activities.

When you realise this is optimal for the consumer economy you realise why the derecognition of your tribal identity is so aggressively promoted. Negative framing, voodoo curses for objecting to being raped and robbed are combined with positive feelgood vibes about large scale demographic replacement. Our new tribe is a rainbow tribe - world citizenship and equal opportunities in the borderless bargain hunt.

It is a free for all, but not all of us are as free to act as the Other.

This is clearly unjust and universally destructive to everything of value in our lives. Why is this being done?

The motives behind these means and methods are dissimilar, but the product in both cases is profit. The Liberal political economy recieves an unlimited supply of consumers, and the suppliers make bank. This is a morally nihilist view of life, and it is startling to see for the first time.

All that matters is that there are more consumers doing more consuming. How and what they consume is of no interest to the interest raters who manage our political economy. The only line that must not be crossed is the bottom line. There are no borders morally nor internationally. It is a life with no meaning, whose purpose is dissolved into promotional campaigns for civilisational suicide and other special offers.

If you recognise the reality of this business model you realise what it is.

This is the reason why the tribal aspect of mass migration is submerged in a babble of rights-based legal restrictions, financial costs and voodoo curses.

Tribes and tribulations of small boat migration

There is an obvious tribal element to the small boats business. That this is not widely known shows you how and why the mention of basic facts about reality is taboo.

The UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) has identified tribal networks in the business of supplying small boat migrants to help our Liberal leaders make the GDP Line Go Up.

The line which describes the rate of this demanded supply also tends to go up.

Supplying migrants by boat is a business. The migrants pay to be transported into Britain and the people they are paying largely come from a single tribe.

REFUGEES PEOPLE SMUGGLING WELCOME?

We are used to hearing a manufactured tribal chant of “refugees welcome”. What is this feelgood advertising jingle actually welcoming?

The NCA describes small boat migration as a “people smuggling” trade and says it is dominated by a very specific group of Kurds from around a town and district called Ranya in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

A 2024 Chatham House report said Iraqi Kurdistan was “where the smuggling network was rooted”.

This fact will remain invisible to you if all you see are “Muslims” or “Arabs” in the Middle East (or “West Asia” as it is now often known).

If you begin to recognise tribal realities, you eventually realise you cannot solve the problem without this recognition, and that this crisis and its concealment threatens the existence of your own tribe.

Small boats crisis - the Turkish role

The decisive logistical role played by Turkish criminal networks in supplying this means of mass migration is also noted by Europol and the British NCA.

The Hungarian Conservative report notes the scale of this industry.

A gang of four boat suppliers was exposed and prosecuted by Eurojust in March 2026, showing how boats purchased from China were supplied through Turkey to networks in Germany and then to Northern France.

The boats cost around 10 000 euros and generate around 100 000 euros in revenue when filled with paying passengers.

Small boats also arrive in other European nations, like Italy and Spain for example.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION

The role of Turkish nationals in supplying small boats for cross-channel human trafficking is sensitive to mention. Turkey is the largest military power in NATO after the United States, and its State has used mass migration as a strategic weapon in releasing millions of migrants into Europe to create the 2015 migration crisis.

Over 41 000 migrants entered the UK in this way in 2025. The report above noted that Adam Savas described himself as “the king of transport and export” in the small boat migrant business, saying he worked with corrupt Turkish police to secure his market share.

He is said to have supplied half the boats used in cross channel migration. Savas was caught following an investigation into the Kurdish crime boss Hewa Rahimpur, who was of course living in East London having claimed asylum after arriving illegally in a lorry.

This particular culture of crime is self perpetuating and is made possible by a structure of political permissions made by Western governments.

Rahimpur was seen the sort of model migrant presented as the example of integration - a man who worked hard in a kiosk to get by.

His first business was a barber shop.

In reality he owned many “expensive properties” in his native land and realised the economic potential of the people smuggling business as he had arrived by means of it himself.

People smuggling is a custom of his Kurdish tribe. It is a custom of the Turks, too.

They are sourcing and supplying new customers for their own businesses and for the consumer nihilist economies which are consuming our nations and producing a borderless global bazaar run by crooks in their place.

The BBC report notes that there were over 100 000 men like Rahimpur housed in the UK last December.

We are paying taxes to fund the lifestyles of the tribes who supply our demographic replacement, and these tribes are not acting in your interest.

These tribes are the political and establishment class of the liberal-global economic model partnered in crimes against you with ethnic tribes from overseas.

DON’T MENTION THE TURKS

NATO, the US, EU and Britain rely on retaining Turkey’s strategic and military significance within their aligned sphere of influence.

The Turkish leader Erdogan has proven adept at leveraging migration as a means of securing Turkish power at a time of increasing instability in the Middle East - and it now faces overt threats from an Israel interdigitated with US military and political power.

It is diplomatically and strategically risky to point out that both the Turkish State and some of its people play a major role in supplying migrants to Europe. To fail to do so is again to derecognise tribal interests. The Turks are also a people, they have their customs and their ambitions in the world, and the business of migration is one form of

Of course, the same mirror image of this partnership between politics and private enterprise is found in the West too.

State level actors and governments permission the criminal networks powering mass migration for economic reasons. This industry is presented as a sort of human rights issue, framed in the same language of inclusion, tolerance and virtue that as the transgender industry. These wrongs are presented as the defence of rights, when in fact the motive is profit (and loss).

BLAME WHITEY INSTEAD

Liberal critiques of the crisis are precise on the means and methods.

They ascribe the motive to economic hardship in KwaZulu Natal arising from the economic dominance of White South Africans.

In the case of the Kurdish role in the people smuggling or human trafficking business, the 2003 Iraq war is cited as the root cause of again1 - economic hardship which is always and ever the only reason that other tribes do beastly things to yours.

Of course, the tribe which wants constant wars in the Middle East is not yours, either - but you pay the price of the instability and criminal industry which radiates from decades of military action to reshape the region.

In the Liberal State Religion the cause of crime is always said to be economic inequality created by White Men, and the only cause for criminal activity by people who are not White is therefore White people themselves - who are in reality the victims of these crimes in person and at scale2.

This means you must pay for the crimes committed against you with ever higher taxes and ever lower living standards. This is the calculus of our political economy translated into plain English.

I hope you can now understand some deeper structure of the geopolitical, economic and demographic crisis created by the machine constructed to manage us into this for-profit permanent state of emergency.

God bless you all. We are going to win.

The West faces an omnicrisis which will change its political and economic calculus.

In this post I begin a brief series on the crisis we inhabit, its causes and the consequences for the consensus in economics and politics which created them.

As I am travelling home this first post will be brief. I begin this series with a mention of a report on the structural economic crisis which looks very likely to seriously affect Western economies and the wider global food and fuel supply chain.

I also include commentary in this video as to how this crisis is being presented as a result of climate change, pushing into the background the structural reasons for the debt, bond and supply chain factors which are driving the cost of food and fuel ever upwards.

In brief, the “structural” element of this crisis is the structure of the political economy which created it - the international liberal order whose globalist ambitions accelerated after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The main structural factors in the economic sense are the 2008 banking crisis, the sovereign debt crisis of the EU, the enormous cost of lockdowns which dwarfed both of these in magnitude, and the disastrous wars which have severely limited global supplies of food, fuel and fertiliser.

The structural problem is the way our economy and politics are structured. The system is what is does, and what it is doing is producing an economic, diplomatic and existential-demographic doom loop as a matter of necessity according to the demands of its own model. The crisis we inhabit is the product of the way we are ruled. At base is the replacement of wealth with debt.

The foundation of the international-liberal political economy is the debt issuance model of State financing which has been the basis of the international liberal order since it was pioneered by the Federal Reserve, whose fractional reserve banking was exported around the liberal international order installed after its creation before the Great War.

I will argue that the manufactured consensus of the liberal agenda which has ruled our nations under this system is breaking down as it has in fact created by economic practice and political policy a series of crises it can no longer contain.

I will examine why despite the refinement and advancement of its technique of cultural propaganda it can no longer secure belief in its own system by means of making it through the transmission of sponsored messaging in al dimensions of our cultural and social life.

In brief, the reality created by this failed experiment to standardise the world under a single global system is the reason it is now disintegrating and cannot be recovered.

This process is inexorable now and it is one which offers the oppotunity -in my view an existential necessity - to change the economic and political calculus completely in order that we do not all go down with its sinking ship.

I shall be back on Monday with much more insight and research into the cascading omnicrisis which spells the end times for the way we have been ruled all our lives.

I do apologise for this hasty post. Please let me know if less is in fact more in these information-busy times - and pray that this car we now have does not blow up like the last one did. Lol, as the intellectuals say.
