Thank you for pulling this all together in such a coherent way.
President Trump has been a blessing so far, despite some concerns about his Ukraine strategy and relationship with Blackrock and Musk.
I have recently felt a profound sense of panic about my own country (England/UK) and the continuing efforts to subvert justice here, when we have a millenium of history behind us during which we forged widely-adopted principles of good law.
I welcome your feeling that this continual gaslighting, subversion of truth and the horrors of war cannot last for much longer, and pray (as a pantheist!) that we will get to that new reality soon.
Here in Blighty all our current elites are really doing is reinforcing how not-British they have become. I mean the white English ones; I've known more Sikhs to emphasize Magna Carta et al than the natives. They even had the temerity to reference Magna Carta when planning the Online Harms Bill; a sign of mental illness, not malice as such.
(The rationale there was the Online Harms Bill was a continuation of the tradition of Magna Carta since it attempted to "protect" people from harm. An impressive example of left-hemisphere myopia in action.)
The key phrase above is CURRENT elites; they are yesterday's men, and they know it. We live in interesting times. But do remember their most potent weapon is psychological. They want you to feel defeated which is why they publicly jail people for posting memes but ignore child rapists.
But you must stand strong because we will prevail. That is why Frank's work matters; it reminds us there is hope, and the hope is built on reality which always exists no matter how good your propaganda campaigns are.
Stiff upper lip, old chap. We will one day look back and laugh.
Well one interesting thing about the present moment is how the management of our British liberal consensus is being revealed. You can now see - not glimpse - the inner workings of our state. Our political consensus is preserved by the exclusion of anything that isn't "liberal".
This isn't democracy either, of course. I shall show how this works in one particular and important way on Monday, I hope, when I go on about the management of liberal democracy.
This is important for today as it is being demonstrated in the attempt to present Reform - a party of consensus continuity - as a radical alternative.
I sense the Reform route will fail. I have family members who normally fall for most of the claptrap tell me bluntly Farage is a disaster. Interesting how fast the narrative is dying even among the uninformed.
No he’s part of the problem not the solution if you like.
His actions have consistently neutralised any genuine alternative to the liberal consensus (which is managed, not “organic”).
I don’t think this containment strategy will work for much longer. Think of it as the British “cordon sanitaire” if you will - like that against the RN in France, the FPÖ in Austria, the AfD in Germany.
Simply put liberal democracy is rigged. This is becoming obvious and will become more so as more obvious measures are undertaken to preserve it.
This will hasten its end as it means the liberal consensus is openly illegitimate
Yes. Mr Farage is a charming speaker and talk-show guest, but he has already amply demonstrated that he is *not* the one who can lead Britain out of the wilderness. I hope that there is within the ranks of Reform (or, indeed, anywhere else) the man who can and will do that. "The times are waxing late."
I have wasted my life on books and any success you detect in my writing is the fruit of decades of failure. I can now say this is lol, but it was notlol for a time.
Not so good for a while eh Frank - this way insanity, 40 days in the wilderness - I suspect all the great ones went insane for at least a while.
I would argue that our version of collective insanity is different as a matter of scale - global - but not different than the insanity of all people, in all societies, at all times in history.
This is what we are; We are truth killers. The way our brain works, kills the truth. Bad luck: the rational animal is a beautiful thing that works very poorly.
Think of the starting point of the Christian story . God sent his son to us as a man, truth incarnate bestrode the earth and as the story goes, we, when confronted with gods truth, did what we do, the ONLY thing we can do, we killed that truth.
I think our version of Christianity under sells this starting point. The power of this - the greatest story ever told - story is that it is correct and particularly as a starting point. We are truth killers, think Iain Gilchrist, the hemispheres of our brain and the disfunction inherent.
Thankfully, you came out the other end, and through that perilous experience you emerged a sterling example - so your efforts were a great success. Thanks for sharing it with us.
for most of my life it seemed to me there was something wrong with the world, something wrong with people,.....so i got in student politics trying to break the duopoly that exists even there...it didnt work,,,i just realised that the people in politics were generally execrable.
now, as a mature middle aged idiot i can see that the world has been a shitshow because we were all born into a cult....we were all born into an 'empire of lies' and we all believed, so thats why things have been shit without it being anyone's fault in particular.
now as the awakening process gathers pace it is becoming clearer and clearer to me that the great majority of our ills have been caused solely by this ignorance of reality, which has been our default position
now that reality is startin to make a comeback, i can see a rosy future ahead,,,after the old empire goes through its inevitably destructive death throes
Im delighted to hear you liked it Henry! We were all born into a mad cult - it took a while to depart completely from sanity, but as they said about the man’s house who was addicted to stealing street furniture - all the signs were there.
the veneer of liberal democracy is torn and tattered...revealing that the whole enterprise was based on lies,,,on the manufacture of consent, on the managing of perceptions....in other words,,,,the system under which we have been trying to live for over a century is based on the techniques of bernays and co - psychological warfare from cradle to grave.
now millions see through the lies and in so doing have freed themselves from ideological entrapment....the only recourse left for the 'empire of lies' is to double down on war, for only war allows them to circumvent 'the rule of law'....our gloriously incompetent leaders have only one option to avoid justice and accountability - keep the war machine burning at whatever cost!
but who will fight for the empire of gay retards? not many...and those that do - well it's good riddance from the rest of us....
so it's all inevitably comin down kids....and that means desperation on the part of the satanic muppets....
we can expedite this process by speaking and sharing truth, truth about reality, revealing the lies we have been fed, from dinosaurs to climate change, from evolution to heliocentrism, from the big bang to viruses, from outer space to nukes...from revisionist history to the bastardisation of the Bible....
the future really is a golden age, but not the one trump imagines,,,the trumps of this world will not be able to be part of the new world, for they cannot humble themselves.
all our problems stem from our believing lies, believing in a world that isn't real....now more and more wake up each day to the truth, to divine, perfect reality behind the veneer of a meaningless and fraught existence,,,beset on all sides by imaginary dangers...
the last shall be first and the first last
those that have refused to play the satanic game, and have therefore been left at the bottom of the pile,,,these people are already leading us into the future age...
those who have managed the empire of lies,,,their time is over, they are already dead, they just haven't realised it yet. x
Funny memes, esp the "weapons of mass destruction. " As to nuns in pantsuits, theologian Peter Kreeft said they should never be trusted.
Years ago, a local Catholic retreat center was hosting a lecture on Hildegard of Bingen (iirc). The first sign that this was going to be a little different than what I was expecting was when I noticed that I was one of approximately 2/70 there who was not a female over the age of 65. My jaw went slack as the slacks-wearing nun delivered the "lecture"--a nasty harangue against men, the patriarchy, and the oppression we've inflicted on women over the centuries. The "fruits" of Vatican II.
Thank you so much, Frank. Been under the weather by a relentless flu and this morning, I actually was able to comprehend an email. You’d was a delight to read and as usually poignant with some hilarious relief. Great stuff!
Oh I do hope you are feeling better Mari. I hope this has cheered you up enough to have a nice bubbly bath and forget about being poorly for a while. So glad it made you laugh too!
The idea that Zionism is simply about Israel is a dangerous lie. It is and always has been a project of international subversion.
It should not be controversial to note the interests of one tribe or another, and nor should it be horrifying to note the customs of different tribes. These are basic and practically timeless statements of fact.
Indeed, it is quite the time. We stand astride the transition of the world. There will be really bad times and really decent times. One age ends and another begins. A fourth turning, an imperial cycle, and a millennial churning are all occurring. It's gonna be lit!
Thank you Frank. I wasn't expecting to feel any hope - I seem to have become so cynical during the past few years, somewhat understandably - but I can feel the first green shoots. Much needed!
I think it shameful to give anyone false hope and I aim to show why I say what I do. I think reality makes the case I present, and that the habit of discarding it in favour of manufactured beliefs is also wearing off as a result.
I despise guitar churches and CANNOT stand attending a mass with one playing. I prefer Gregorian chanting, can do pipe organs, and stand to hear a piano if necessary.
"The consumer lifestyle is one of convenience, in which unwanted babies can be destroyed with a pill, and the elderly taught they should dutifully dispose of themselves when they become a burden. In this system there is no higher spiritual purpose to life than shopping, with fornication a close second." St. Pius X warned us of modernism over one hundred years ago, and this is a perfect summation of said modernism. I enjoy your insight on these matters.
There is a chapter in my book "A Brief History of Liberal Democracy" which explains how Pascendi Domini Gregis foretold most of the ills of the century which followed it.
I publish a chapter every Monday. and that one will probably come out next week.
I have gone on about your questions at length elsewhere. Briefly 1. no 2. Zionist influence is at its zenith, and its lack of restraint has left Israel in crisis.
Israel will be saved from itself, the US cannot afford permawar anymore, and is now pursuing a grand strategy of national renewal and peace through realism.
The result will not be a flawless paradise but is a significant and welcome change from the global death machine.
In brief, the same thing that happened to the dreams of US global domination through sponsorship of subversion, propaganda and war has happened to the Zionist project. Costs being counted these are both revealed as murderous, and will bankrupt their respective nations.
The Israel lobby will no longer succeed in dragging the US into war. I think in time it is inevitable that a bifurcation of interests is acknowledged, as suggested in JD Vance’s speech in May 2024.
He said the us must ask what it means to be an ally - and that the us wants independent allies, not dependencies.
Will it work or not? Who knows. But the trump admin appears to be seeking a Middle East settlement which is durable and which allows the us to exit from the consensus of the past seven decades.
This is likely the end of the strategic use of permanent war and periodic escalation which has been the policy of Israel under Netanyahu.
I’m sorry to be brief - I have gone on about this a fair bit before in more detail and should perhaps set it out. Will do a bit on tribalism soon which should make for a less speculative answer.
Thank you for pulling this all together in such a coherent way.

Oh I think Farage hasn’t misread the national mood. He’s doing this on purpose.
What are your thoughts on that? Is it to provoke a serious change?
No he’s part of the problem not the solution if you like.
His actions have consistently neutralised any genuine alternative to the liberal consensus (which is managed, not “organic”).
I don’t think this containment strategy will work for much longer. Think of it as the British “cordon sanitaire” if you will - like that against the RN in France, the FPÖ in Austria, the AfD in Germany.

Fantastic stuff! Thankyou for writing that!
Why thank you too OB! I thought I had better explain why I am not at home to Mr Badvibes.
How did you get such a big look - that enabled you to write all your essays - so they communicate the truth so well?
I have wasted my life on books and any success you detect in my writing is the fruit of decades of failure. I can now say this is lol, but it was notlol for a time.
I also write about foreign affairs, politics, culture etc for my le job
Man thats great. Well I am enjoying being educated by you. Thanks.
Great stuff, and very helpful.
Not so good for a while eh Frank - this way insanity, 40 days in the wilderness - I suspect all the great ones went insane for at least a while.

Thank you DB. I will probably write a little memoir one day. Dark times do not necessarily mean end times, though it may seem so at the time.
Men will be what they are forever, as they have always been. Some do hate the truth. I think most live by beliefs they find useful rather than true.
What of my take on the Christian story? sacrilegious?
Sorry, I messed that up. I’m making the argument that the human animal is defective
Oh of course. Man’s efforts at godmanship, be they occult or in ideology, end in tragedy.
Well, that is hardly new. But maybe I am missing your point.
Very little is.
True enough, but I still don't know what the writer's points might have been.
Interesting. I’m just waiting for an hour and for how we perceive.
Excellent piece, which I plan to share...
I’m glad you liked it!
frankly frank, i really enjoyed that one!
and to continue in the same spirit:

in other words, truth does the work for us
as long as we stand in truth x

Oh I do hope you are feeling better Mari. I hope this has cheered you up enough to have a nice bubbly bath and forget about being poorly for a while. So glad it made you laugh too!
"nothing good can come from equating Jews and Zionism"... to be precise: nothing that is good for Jews.
Yes, in brief.
The idea that Zionism is simply about Israel is a dangerous lie. It is and always has been a project of international subversion.
It should not be controversial to note the interests of one tribe or another, and nor should it be horrifying to note the customs of different tribes. These are basic and practically timeless statements of fact.
I note with interest that it is Nelson - a sailor- who is offered to this day as the exemplar of servant leadership to officers of the British Army.
I expect he has only survived in this role due to the notorious habits of matelots.
Good man, Frank!
Thank you CM.
Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you, Frank.
You are welcome Joey and thank you for telling me.
Indeed, it is quite the time. We stand astride the transition of the world. There will be really bad times and really decent times. One age ends and another begins. A fourth turning, an imperial cycle, and a millennial churning are all occurring. It's gonna be lit!
Think of the menes 🔥 to come
Tremendous article Frank thank you.
Can feel the tide turning, the emperor well and truly has no clothes.
We're gona win ✨️🙏🏼
Tomorrow belongs to us my friend.
Indeed it does my friend 🤝🏻
Thank you Frank. I wasn't expecting to feel any hope - I seem to have become so cynical during the past few years, somewhat understandably - but I can feel the first green shoots. Much needed!

I despise guitar churches and CANNOT stand attending a mass with one playing. I prefer Gregorian chanting, can do pipe organs, and stand to hear a piano if necessary.
I need my ritual, Rock churches are blasphemy.
One day I shall tell the guitar tale of rage.
What a bracingly truth-filled start to a Monday morning. That was better than coffee!
What a jolly comment this is to see! Thank you Peter and I am glad I perked you up!

I publish a chapter every Monday. and that one will probably come out next week.
What a wonderful read! This gives me hope and relief amongst the daily grind and deluge of the latest MSM headlines and reeee’s of Libs every where.
I’m curious though, what about the term “hopium” and the idea that trump is another puppet of the globalists?
Is he @frank??? Tell me that he isn’t… and what about his subservience to that particular country in the middle east that causes so much trouble?
What about that?
Aye aye Capn’! Glad you liked it.
