Interestingly, my new mantra is "anything outside a 5' perimeter of my physical self is not real"....we used to watch Walter Cronkite x 30 mins to get world info and then go LIVE in our real world. Now we're told 24/7 by the voices and vids on screens that our physical reality should be disregarded and we must live in a hyper-anxious state about things happening far away from us. Open the curtain, look outside-- thats the reality you need to embrace. If everyone keeps his own corner clean & neat, the rest will handle itself. Pax.

I’m coming around to that way of thinking too. What I see around me is benevolent, rural and peaceful so that’s my idea of reality. I don’t take anything I read in the news as true, in fact I look for what I think they are trying to bamboozle me with and take the opposite view. I made the mistake of driving to London the other day, 3 hours of driving to do 90 miles. The last 1.5 hours was travelling 10 miles at a max speed of 20mph between traffic jams. That’s a reality I’m happy to never see again.

I can see the decline, the disorder, the loss of state control and so on. I don’t see anyone preparing for “civil war”.

Frank, nobody wastes their life on books! You know that really don't you? Books are only ever fulfilling (even badly written ones about bad subjects are better than no books - at least you can shout at them without being arrested).

Jk don’t care about getting nicked for wordcrime. Don’t plead guilty if you do. Don’t make it easy for your enemies. When they ask for a fork, bring them spoons. And play them. 🎶

Getting arrested isn’t (usually) that bad. They don’t (often) kick your head in like they used to.

They do your head in instead (fear, pressure to plead guilty etc). It is lonely in the interview room and lonelier still in the holding cell. If you can put up with the terrible food and appalling tea you can see it as a free digital detox with one star catering. Be cheerful.

It confuses them at first and then most of them start to like you. If you are humanised in the eyes of your captors it becomes harder to kill/torture/harm you for example.

Being a political prisoner of this satanic regime is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s an occupational hazard for anyone with a conscience and a sense of duty to anything outside themselves these days.

I have shouted at, and physically abused, my copy of "Ulysses." I keep it, to prove to others that I endured it, and just in case a civil war is in our future, I can use its pages to start a fire on which I can roast various small rodents to provide sustenance for me and my loved ones.

The UK government is a sovereign currency issuer, not a currency user (like a household). It can only issue currency (e.g. to pay employees, hoteliers, corrupt vaccine manufacturers etc.) or it can destroy currency (when it taxes people). It doesn't actually 'have' any money, so it cannot go broke/bankrupt/be bailed out.

The talk about needing a bailout (in the currency of which you are the issuer!) is nonsense. I can see it's currently being used to discredit this government (which is fine by me), but it also gets used to keep the population in a state of fear (like so many things). It's a shame Healey fell for it in '76 (silly billy) as it set the idea in stone (for many) that the country could 'run out' of the currency it creates.

A sovereign currency is the most powerful tool a national government can wield for the good of its people, if it was so inclined (none are, of course).

Thanks for the latest Frank. Btw, the US government can't bail anyone out. It is $37 trillion in debt with over a trillion added yearly. You must be confusing the US government with the Federal Reserve. They can lend anyone any amount they want simply by putting it on their balance sheet. Watch it though. Interest is compounded and they may even ask for an ownership stake.

Frank Wright's avatar

Yes, a schoolboy error on my part. You’re right about the stakes - of course - because you know far more about this than I do. Rumour I’ve heard is the IMF does not have the capacity and so it may well be the Fed. What France will do I don’t know.

The variable rate of decline will continue until order is restored. Which (I believe) it will be.

Right now you have a lot of people making bank with clickbait civil war nonsense. Same people also say “they want to provoke a reaction”.

This is ridiculous. “They” have provoked a reaction - there is no one preparing to do guerilla war btw - and the second pile of piffle relies on the false belief the liberal state has the hard power to crack down on everyone who now hates it.

I think peolle will disregard and disobey the illegitimate state, which is openly their enemy, in interesting ways. Council tax strikes, refusing to pay utility bills, not pleading guilty to speechcrimes etc. Could be some “rioting”, could be some blockade of parliament etc but factional armed conflict? No.

Expand full comment
Frank Wright's avatar

Tax strikes - if effective - would see the state likely go for emergency powers to seize bank deposits etc. That would likely spark riots. For many reasons I don’t think the liberal state has the hard power capacity to defend itself effectively should it have recourse to such measures, so it would probably just call an election and let the next lot sort out the mess.

That is reassuring about the dynamics playing out in Britain and I pray you are right (I used to live in London so a bit out of touch now being in Brazil). Btw I am hearing reports that MI6 is up to its old tricks in the Balkans again. Civil war anyone? And the communist onslaught in South Korea and Brazil at the moment is just brutal - could lead to civil unrest shortly. Pray for humanity.

Frank Wright's avatar

I will pray this madness ends, John. MI6 is now, iirc, led by a Ukrainian-heritage woman with a man's name. Yes, our desperate deep state is trying to save our hated liberal regime by sponsoring terrorism in order to provoke a Russian response which triggers the US to go to war with Russia. Insane, evil, but I think doomed to fail. I did not know about S Korea nor Brazil, and do say more if you can.

¨Through the intercession of Our Lady of Aparecida, may the blessing that keeps us from hunger, war, disease and communism come upon you.¨ That was the blessing on Saturday of Dom Adair Jose Guimaraes, bishop of the diocese of Formosa, near Brasilia. Now that´s my kind of bishop. The context is that tomorrow (Sep 2) starts the judgement of ex-president Jair Bolsonaro ending a farce of a Moscow show trial that will surely jail him for life. On charges of an attempted coup (while he was in Florida!) and based on a deposition forced by torture of one of his aides (on tape his daughter was threatened by the psycho Supreme Court Judge). With impeccable timing, the Economist has stepped up this week to sustain the globalist narrative that this exemplary behaviour of the judiciary is saving democracy in Brazil and should be replicated in the U.S. against Trump. It´s game on because Trump has said he will stand by his friend Bolsonaro, but the commies are looking for any excuse to collapse the country and install their communist dystopia.

I only just listened/watched your video because in truth, I dread watching such videos because there is no interaction or connection. A bit like all those mind numbing PowerPoint presentations I was forced to sit through (and sometimes deliver) in the 90s. Anyway, to get to the point, I really enjoyed this one and am now highly motivated to watch future ones. Unfortunately this is the paradox that you are endeavouring to warn us about. You are very good at this Frank, your authenticity shines out (probably assisted by the educated northern accent and sense of humour) Keep up the good work.

If anyone watched the vid and is interested in the Industrial Revolution, the pre-industrial-revolution life that Frank mentions is well described in:

"Rebels against the future : the Luddites and their war on the Industrial Revolution : lessons for the computer age" by Kirkpatrick Sale. If you do read that book, you will instantly understand the cultural reaction, to the loss of that splendid and humane life, culminating in Britain between 1950 and 1982, some two centuries later.

Thanks, Frank, very funny, and fun, and truthy. Albeit, of course - as with any of our locutions here under the orbit of the moon - not all totally purely True. Still, we all take notice, thankfully.

Re Israel versus Hamas: I find myself in a minority of two (with, it seems, Jim of Jim's Blog), thinking that genocide should just be allowed to proceed, and let the chips fall where they may. It is going to happen sooner or later anyway, whether slowly or quickly. The more quickly, the less injuriously to all and sundry withal, is my thought. Genocide is the natural terminus ad quem of war between enemies who cannot possibly tolerate each other even a little. Indeed, it was through most of history standard operating procedure for besiegers to liquidate cities that refused to capitulate and seek terms, so much so that everyone involved understood these as the rules of the game (viz., Masada - or, for that matter, Jerusalem, several times). The Muslim fanatics have shown themselves to be unwilling to capitulate and seek terms, for like 80 years now; not just in Palestine, but everywhere else (including, e.g., Jordan, Egypt, etc.). So, they are everywhere abjured, as disturbers of the peace of the game theoretical equilibrium that could but for their intransigence be fairly cheaply achieved. Egypt doesn't want them, nor does Jordan; Syria and Lebanon are already wrecked, so they don't really have much say, but hard to think that they want to import more of such as Hamas or Hezbollah; as, i.e., salients of Shia Iran.

Genocide soft or hard, cold or hot is just how it works out in reality, despite UN Declarations to the contrary. Borders are adjudicated in the final analysis by war; so then likewise are nations; which is to say, peoples. A people that cannot win a war against another is pretty much bound to destruction at the hands of some other.

So, ugly as it is, I think we would do better to just let the war in Palestine proceed to whatever dreadful horrific conclusion it ends up proceeding to.

We should of course succor widows, children, orphans and wounded of any such immolation, to the extent that we can do so without harming our own such - which are, after all, plentiful. So, yay Christians in Gaza and Israel, and let's send them money and prayers.

But trying to stop what is happening is like Canute trying to stop the tide. It is happening, whether slow or fast, whether cold or hot, and no matter what anyone has to say about it.

Incommensurable cults cannot be commensurated, by any means whatever. This is why the Amalekites had to be eradicated. We should learn from that episode.

You seem to be unaware of the relation of forever war for “Israel” to the presence of millions of migrants in the West.

Do you know what the Jews do to Christians in the Holy Land, Goy Boomer? I do because I'm personal friend with a catholic priest who lives there.

Stop talking shit, Goy Boomer. It was Israel who also funded ISIS and Hamas. And it was USA and Israel who created the Syria crisis which stated the migrant crisis in Europe.

Besides, you shouldn't be so hard on Muslims invading the West.

You cartainly know that Muslims have the habit of raping women when they invade their lands. At least you'd finally manage to get laid.
