There's a great lecture on this exact topic, how the future will be "the chairpeople" vs. those who, grounded by the Traditiional TRUE faith exist in reality and escape the wiles of the AI/tech panopticon: “Technology and the Eucharist: How the Real Presence Will Save Us,” by Dr. Edward J. Castronova: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv4RzuJUduY
Thank you James. I will have to have a look. I appreciate your trying to cure me of my ignorance, and I do like the phrase about the “wiles of the AI panopticon”.
What to make of Trump? He reportedly purged some Israel-first people in his administration, then released a statement telling the Iranians that they had it coming, thereby signaling support for our warmongering "Greatest Ally's" latest outrage. Confusing times.
He is a puppet who was more skilled arranging deals than his predecessors. I suspect the serious global elites are largely untouched by much that is happening. Some MAGA stuff was a small price to pay; DEI and some theatrical deportations perhaps. But the Fed remains, as does the BoE and all the rest.
I am optimistic primarily because the various layers of "elites" or rulers seem both exhausted and incompetent.
What's your view on the overall elite structure? I don't see it as a single pyramid but as a set of semi-competing factions with different power centers (bankers, Israel, CIA, State Department, Soros, etc.) and somewhat different goals, but general alignment on the war machine, the woke machine, and usury/the fraud machine?
Yes I agree. This is why it is often confusing. Sometimes the goals of different factions align, other times they compete.
I struggle to find terms that makes sense. Globalist elites are really supranational groups, those who sit above individual nations. I would say this is the real threat whatever their particular ambitions. Our national institutions and governing bodies do not have the final say. In minor matters they do. In big things, like mass immigration, they do what they are told.
That said, as Frank is continually saying, their enemy is real life. Their plans are unrealistic. Net Zero is literally unworkable without mass death so will provoke a reaction.
What's your view on the current overall elite structure?

One perspective on factional alignment is the culture they produce. What do they want you to feel?
I do not think the whole show is simply a performance, there are enormous vested interests in the former liberal globalist model which face an existential challenge in a transition away from a war economy, and the "let them fight it out like kids in a playground" take is Donald Trump's version of a 35 year old proposal for the US retreat from world policeman. See Hirschfeld's US Grand Strategy for the 1990s and Beyond. https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/notes/2009/N3180.pdf
Vance said that last year, too. There is a speech I keep mentioning which he gave to RS. It was a very interesting one.
He said that Israel, Ukraine, and even the EU are "client states of the US". Speaking of the Middle East, he said
"We don't want to get involved in a broader regional war. The best way to do that is to ensure that Israel with the Sunni nations can actually police their own region of the world."
Hence the NATO drawdown, Yemen still firing missiles into Israel, Trump says Russia and Ukraine decide the war's end etc.
If you stop being Team America: World Police you stop the trillions poured into the "defence of democracy". The borrowing, debt, the surveillance state, the militarisation of the economy, the sponsorship of its political class, the replacement of democracy with donations and sponsors etc - these are all effects of the "War on Terror", which was entirely contrived and serves two purposes: the capture of the US in a war economy, and the expansionist drive for regional hegemony of Israel.
You have to stop this or you go bust. This is the reason Trump has his opportunity. Is he doing this in reality? Yes, he is. Is he a perfect saviour? No. Is he a pawn of Israel? No. Is his Congress/Senate? Yes.
What happened after Hirschfeld offered three routes towards a "peace dividend" - and a strategy of diplomacy abroad and reduced military spending reinvested at home?
The Neocons happened, and "Only Global Power" was the option America got.
If you want to know where that began I would argue it began in Jerusalem in 1979 with Netanyahu's terrorism conference. He shifted the US, with his neocon friends, to a posture of military intervention against "terror" and "terror states", whose narrative you see reprised today against Iran. All the arguments against Iraq are used against Iran.
This is the power of the Zionist/Forever war faction, where it came from, how it is sold, and how the transformation of the US in its strategy, economy and politics has been financed by the massive increases in military spending and allied technology ever since the pivot on terror was secured.
Woke is not a "leftwing" phenomenon. It has nothing to do with Marxism. It is non-materialist, postmodern, and aims at the destruction of all norms. It is the ethics of Judith Butler. Her work has been described as "Jewish Ethics" by the Jewish Women's Archive, who say of her
"Butler’s groundbreaking work brings Jewish thought to bear on the most pressing issues of our times"
Butler admitted her work opens the door to paedophilia, for example. She admits this in a video interview I included in this piece on "Watching Woke" https://www.frankwrighter.com/p/watching-woke
The degenerate culture is seeded by sponsorship, as are many of the protests, riots - in the same way as support for wars abroad and on Christianity, the family, normal life in general.
When the money runs out the project sputters. The US government was partnered with globalist NGOs and philanthropists like Mr Soros until recently. Mass migration is a partnership enterprise with people like him and other human traffickers, undertaken for economic reasons, which along with all the other policies serves to rapidly dissolve social cohesion. This promotes a borderless state of emergency everywhere, in place of nations.
As you can now see, a politics of countering this madness is becoming increasingly popular.
Populism is not a coherent politics, ranging from the professionalism of the AfD in its messaging and counter-extremist mission to the charismatic Thatcherite clownshow of Reform. Anyway I said it was a brief post because if not I would go on like this forever lol.
I can relate to Big Bird, as usual Frank, you bring it!!! thank you for being a bright light in the transiting shadow........blessings from arizona
I never thought I’d see the day, but yes - I STAND WITH BIG BIRD
Has big bird been cancelled by the woke mob?

Thanks for your piece! I love your long term and down to the roots of the problem thinking.
Even ignoring the panopticon, AI is a superspreader for our sins/mind viruses and far worse for us than we think, as I just covered here: https://grainofwheat.substack.com/p/the-sins-ai-mind-virus

I think the question is "Can he do it" rather than "Is he doing it at all" when it comes to Trump.
Yes I agree. This is why it is often confusing. Sometimes the goals of different factions align, other times they compete.
