"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."

This that you wrote hit home to me the most. This is the way it is in America now. We live as prisoners now in America. We are controlled at all times and in all ways. It is making me insane but it does not seem to bother most people. We must give up our freedom in all ways, big and small in nearly every aspect of our lives. We must accept SMART everything which results in putting us in a cage. If we try to refuse the SMART evils we are not able to. When we become older and have health problems and require interactions with the medical world it really becomes intolerable because it feels like "life or death" depending on whether the person/patient is willing to surrender to Big Brother in order to receive medical care. There was a time when doctor-patient confidentiality was acknowledged as a thing. I remember it. Now doctors wear recording devices that tape everything that is said by the patient in the examination room and then that recording is kept electronically and made available to government, insurance companies, the cloud, other medical offices and hospitals and any hackers or basically anybody who can get access to it. This is now considered acceptable. It is BETRAYAL. When a child is born the collection of that child's personal information begins at the hospital. The blood is drawn and the results are put in the files. The damaging shots are begun. The government is informed of the arrival of a new slave for them to rule and a number is assigned to the slave. Nobody bats an eye.

Imagine you're at a meeting to discuss flying "pride" flags over your corporate HQ or painting your railway carriages in rainbow colours and you disagree....

Thats insane if you think of it - one of the conditions of being employed is affirming sexual deviances.

1. Being barred from employment (canceled) unless you conform and accept the “mark of the beast” feels profoundly apocalyptic.

2. The British people cannot vote directly for their prime minister. So the revolving door at Downing Street will continue, with each new government dragging the country further left instead of governing as the people want.

3. Given this scenario, what exactly is the King for if he will not—or constitutionally cannot—intervene?

Frank, your writing is wonderful, but...this series is endless narrative devoid of analysis.

Why is it rule by media? Why are people so passive? Why are parties controlled by psychopaths? What is it about the age of visual media that has reduced people to mindless, terrified zombies?

Yes, the debt mountain is going to destroy the 'liberal' totalitarian state, but it may have finished off European Christian civilization first.

If I may attempt an answer to your question; I believe the fundamental answer is that we have reverted to a Machiavellian war for power that rewards the few who are very good at it. Everything is politics now - and the means justify the ends. It is my opinion that this is symptomatic of a greater society who worships the preservation of the system - everything else is war to preserve it

The liberal system's reliance on soft power, because hard power would destroy the image on which it relies for legitimacy, is a point CJ Hopkins made well during the pandemic. This explains why the lockdowns were eventually forced to end: the idea that they were an honest response to a deadly plague was no longer tenable - after two years, no one believed it.

The problem for the ruling technocrats is that, after Covid, there is no going back. The system overplayed its hand and permanently disillusioned many people. The latter recognise the "digital solution" and will, we hope, creatively resist it. Central to that resistance, Hopkins suggests, is exposing the lie of liberalism's "soft" nature: it inflicts suffering everywhere.

Trufax, but remember how, when really pushed into a corner by the truckers, Justine of Canada, having tried to cancel them by calling them naughty words did resort to good ol’ fashioned physical force?

Thomas Crew's avatar

Yes, absolutely. That’s kind of my point: the whole “soft” power thing is mainly just an image. They resort to brutality often enough, especially during “emergencies”. Part of our job is to reveal that brutality so that the image collapses.

JD's avatar

Oh, I see. I hadn’t read your comment carefully enough. It definitely did disillusion many permanently. I also remember a poll in the States where liberals by some shocking majority favored putting those who had declined the jabs in camps, possibly removing their children too, I forget. Maybe that was confected and I suppose polls are always leading questions anyhow. Still.

Australia actually built internment camps or "Centres for National Resilience", as they called them. UnHerd did a good interview with one of the detainees at the time: https://unherd.com/watch-listen/inside-australias-covid-internment-camp/

There is a hankering for the real, the authentic, what is lasting. What has been fed to us in news, grocery, medicine, pop culture is becoming increasingly abhorrent. Tuning out the noise and “special effects” becomes more and more attractive. Less is more. Except when it comes to true charity. The marshmallow can go away. Bring on some discipline and austerity. Nothing seems more delightful at the moment.

Spiff's avatar

I too think austerity would be a good thing. Some of the newcomers could not cope for a start. And the very young would get a taste of reality. I'd love to see it all cut right back to the absolute minimum. National defence, potholes and graffiti, but not much else.

It's Monday morning here and I have been downloading "apps" to my new phone.

I HAD to buy the new phone, even though my "old" phone is perfectly sound. But software changes, cell tower frequency changes, 'n' all that, rendered it unable to....work as a telephone. One minute it worked, the next an invisible switch somewhere was thrown and my phone was screwed.

The "machine" is making me into a cog. The masters will make me feel to be in love with my new phone for a brief period: until another "switch" will be thrown and I shall be compelled to go through the same bollocks once again.

I am writing this apparently unrelated account because for me it did resonate with your article.

Somehow I feel that I am being ripped off in every direction. By the UK government, by avaricious companies, by liars in the media.

Did you know....according to a Home Office insider, less than 1% of asylum claims are genuine? asylum claimants are "gaming the system" using patently ludicrous means? Did you know that there is a large pro- Islam "group" established within the Home Office?

The Labour witch Angela Rayner is trying to block the perfectly legal donations made to the Reform Part. By making them, retrospectively, illegal.

There are very bad people running the UK.

That said I am now STILL going to enjoy my cup of tea.

I wrote this on another Substack platform. Translates perfectly to your recent missive Frank. Bravo.

An ungovernable force has been unleashed on Western Europe by political leaders and sadly, demonstrably, by self loathing whites who worship ideology over community safety and future security. The consequences have already been witnessed and will only get worse and the perpetrators further emboldened with each passing decades. Something epoch defining has to implemented in our favour at their expense. We don’t have equal rights. We have special rights for certain groups at our expense. The myth of inclusivity is portrayed as a progressive utopia. When you try and extract yourself from imposed participation you’re not allowed to. We have no ‘out’ option. We are potential victims to savage unruly forces that are the preferred class of the parasites in Brussels and Westminster. Hear Hear by the way.

C.S. Adsuar's avatar

Thomas Sowell said that the "barbarians are inside the gates, and have academic tenure, judicial appointments, government grants, and control of the movies, TV, and other media." Do you hear "apocalypse"?

G Wooster's avatar

He is a very based individual and he has been ‘othered’ also despite the man’s heritage. Unhinged comes to mind and we are suffering, managing and fighting on all three fronts to slow, pause and reverse - they on the other hand have been handed the institutions of power, law, culture, academia and media. To deracinate and implement a globalist ideology is to be anti-human.

Cheers Frank,

I remember thinking years ago on the basis of leftist indoctrination how religion was used as a means to control the masses within civilisation and how my position has changed into the religious impulse predates civilisations. That aside, I find all of these people are religious zealots - fanatics, true believers in this cause, that may not necessarily be the pursuit of utopia - but gives them a purpose just in the doing.

I also, believe that the leftist (Marxist) belief surrounding religion being used is a means to control the masses is merely gaslighting and a confession and whilst they believe in their system, they wield the Machiavellian grab for power against everybody else.

I’m not sure if Blair invented Machine Politics or if he just revved it up. Boss Tweed, Huey Long, the Bush family in Texas, and Jim Taylor from the movie, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington”.

Dear Frank

Another excellent article. Thank you, I will publish it on Wednesday.

“You have surpassed all nations in impertinent fables,

in bad conduct and in barbarism.

You deserve to be punished, for this is your destiny…

They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts,

just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair.

I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people

would not some day become deadly to the human race.”

Voltaire in 1771

This is what a world looks like when there are ancient bloodlines who raise their children to rule, fool & guide us to a new order of the ages. We, the unenlightened peasants have to become aware of our true and pure spiritual nature and remove the shackles we have placed upon ourselves in the form of our belief in organised religions and guber mente, government.

A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims … but accomplices.

Peter Hitchens was smart. His brother was smarter... and had a lot more fun... same with the Huxleys

What is it with British sibling rivalries?

They are racing to 2030. . perhaps that's when some kind of portal closes.

Frank, check out David Dionisi. He's also has a similar take on this with a focus on stone cuttery. Daviddionisi.com.
