It is undeniable that the world generally seems to be at an inflection point.\u00a0 In 2024, around 75% of nations will be having elections meaning that it is possible that politically the world could be a very different place by the end of the year. \u00a0What seems obvious to the dispassionate observer is that the liberal consensus that had maintained a kind of shared value base for the democracies of the West, e.g., the importance of free speech, respect for those of opposing views, the importance of law and order, equality before that same law <\/em>and equality of opportunity; <\/em>and then undergirded by the basic democratic principle that the fundamental legitimacy of government derived itself from the will of the people in the sense that the people could choose their leaders and replace them by exercising their vote<\/em>, has been collapsing.<\/p>\n

In this essay, we posit that this is a deliberate policy, orchestrated by an eclectic alliance of scientistic [1]<\/a> scientists, globalists, Marxists [2]<\/a>, neo-Marxists (aka. \u201cCritical Analysts\u201d), communists, and Islamic revolutionaries who have coalesced around the single point of agreement that the West has failed, is failing, will always fail, and who want to remake or \u201creset\u201d the world in response to this crisis.\u00a0 We argue that only by recovering our sense of these important values of the West and the integrity of the nations that make up the West, will we preserve what had made the West the most powerful and influential of cultures in the last 500 years.<\/p>\n

Thus, firstly, to illustrate our present crisis that we alluded to in our opening remarks, we need to go no further than to consider the open support on the streets of most Western nations for an internationalist revolutionary Islamic movement, one of whose central<\/em> aims is the complete destruction<\/em> of the West.[3]<\/a>\u00a0 Likewise to reinforce our point regarding the unintuitive, eclectic nature of the movement, they have been joined by revolutionary Marxists in common cause.[4]<\/a> \u00a0The communist ANC of South Africa has recently made common political<\/em> cause with the revolutionary Islamic movement on an official, governmental level.[5]<\/a>\u00a0 This is particularly significant as the last decade has seen cultural<\/em> Marxism, characterised by identity politics and an oppressed-oppressor moniker, become mainstream within the politics and cultural conversations of the West.[6]<\/a>\u00a0 Large segments of mainstream national media have shifted from quasi-objective news reporting to subjective news-making and showcasing a particular point of view; this too, often statist and socialist in its basic positioning.\u00a0 One of the lasting legacies of the COVID pandemic was the acceptability of censoring opposing points of view, with hi-tech\/social media, which had once characterised itself as a democratic, free-speech space, now dovetailing with \u201cDeep State\u201d [7]<\/a> and transnational UN-bodies such as the WHO, to control what was \u201cacceptable\u201d speech in contrast to \u201cmisinformation\u201d and \u201cdisinformation\u201d.[8]<\/a><\/p>\n

In similar fashion, free speech has been increasingly qualified with respect to a subjective standard of \u201chate\u201d speech widely interpreted as being that which might<\/em> cause distress to someone<\/em>, even if it was not criminal or illegal.[9]<\/a>\u00a0 The practical impact of such redefinitions has been to curtail the scope of legitimate expressions of dissent and to target innocuous activities such as street-preaching or prayer vigils outside abortion clinics.[10]<\/a>\u00a0 Likewise, from DEI for business, to pronouns on the signatures of our emails reflecting our subjective \u201cgender\u201d identity as opposed to our objective, biological sexual identity,[11]<\/a> the influence of this radical Leftist thinking has become pervasive. \u00a0This thinking is above all else reconstructive in its perspective \u2013 all the institutions of the State, be they law and justice, education, or health, must be re-made to ensure equality of outcome<\/em>;[12]<\/a> but this reconstruction is also individual and sociological, the very notion of \u201cfamily\u201d and \u201cselfhood\u201d, what it means to be a citizen and the meaning and context of individual \u201crights\u201d, require a radical recapitulation.<\/p>\n

This has been particularly evident in the most influential nation in the world, the United States.\u00a0 Since 2016 and the election of populist Donald Trump, distinctive because he was a businessman rather than a professional politician,[13]<\/a> the vision of just what it means to be a \u201cdemocracy\u201d has become an existential issue.\u00a0 Trump and his supporters consider themselves to be rescuing a democracy which is being destroyed by the advance of progressive [14]<\/a> policies and positions of the Biden-Harris administration.\u00a0 In kind, the Biden-Harris response is to characterise the \u201cMAGA Trump republicans\u201d and their supporters as the principal threat to the survival of the American republic and democracy.[15]<\/a>\u00a0 There is no greater threat than Trump to the American democracy with his white, bigoted rural voters.[16]<\/a>\u00a0 However, that is where there is a rub and what we must understand if we are to understand what is happening throughout the Western nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocracy\u201d has been redefined in the West from the political consensus resulting from the policies and records of the politicians the people vote for, to the preservation of the institutions<\/em> (and political status quo<\/em>) of the countries that call themselves <\/em>\u201cdemocracies\u201d. \u00a0This has far-reaching consequences.\u00a0 The \u201cenemies of democracy\u201d then<\/em> become the enemies of those institutions and the political status quo.\u00a0 Subsequently, those institutions must<\/em> turn the apparatus of the coercive State, particularly the intelligence agencies with their surveillance capabilities, and the associated legal systems, to the elimination of those threats to its own existence.\u00a0 In other words, paradoxically, you destroy<\/em> democracy on the level of the people\u2019s choice, to save the democratic institutions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That is, you must manage and control who the people may vote for by conditioning ballots through high tech interference,[17]<\/a> controlling the media and the media narratives, even banning candidates from the ballot, and engaging in other \u201clawfare\u201d \u2013 the practice of frivolous but very expensive litigation against your political opponents.\u00a0 After all, the people are easily swayed by disinformation and conspiracy theories, they need to be protected and told \u201cwhat is true\u201d<\/em> by their governments and their fellow-traveller army of \u201cfactcheckers\u201d.[18]<\/a> \u00a0Does any of this sound familiar?\u00a0 It should, this is precisely what is happening in the US with the anti-Trump campaign that began running in response to his shock election in 2016.<\/p>\n

This campaign has been relentless beginning with the \u201cRussiagate\u201d hoax, an elaborate, international, CIA run operation that created a complete false web of evidence to characterise Trump as a Russian asset.\u00a0 This then allowed the FBI to investigate and monitor the Trump campaign and to interfere in the name of \u201cnational security\u201d in the electoral process. \u00a0This is no longer a \u201cconspiracy theory\u201d as the reports and documents are now leaking into the public domain; the CIA leveraged Ukrainian assets to pretend to be Russians who were then hired to contact members of the Trump campaign.\u00a0 Recordings were made of these interactions, and these were then dropped by the CIA to the \u201cFive Lion\u201d intelligence agencies \u2013 UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, US (FBI).<\/p>\n

You read that right, the CIA pushed false but \u201ccorroborated\u201d material to their own FBI \u2013 this is because the CIA has no internal jurisdiction in the US, the FBI are the only organisation authorised to investigate American citizens and open an investigation of Trump.\u00a0 As soon as the FBI bit, the media were then tasked with creating the \u201cTrump is a Russian asset\u201d narrative, that would then allow detailed surveillance of Trump and any associates, with mass collection of privileged financial information and private communications contrary to the Constitution, but all justified in the name of \u201cnational security\u201d.<\/p>\n

Anyone that privately or publicly supported Trump had to deal with potential public exposure and financial or legal sanction. \u00a0It was designed to be \u201cguilt by association\u201d \u2013 anyone supporting Trump would be a friend of Putin.\u00a0 The operation had the simple aim of influencing the outcome of the subsequent 2020 election for the purpose of \u201cprotecting democracy\u201d, i.e., interfering in the democratic process to ensure the institutions of the democracy, the substructures of the intelligence agencies, the military-industrial complex making money off continuous wars with each new President, were not compromised.[19]<\/a>\u00a0 However, it was completely<\/em> false <\/em>and fictitious<\/em>, the dossiers about Trump signed by over 50 ex-intelligence agency operatives were fabricated.<\/p>\n

Contrast this with the Hunter Biden laptop case \u2013 this was a genuine laptop dropped off by Hunter himself with real compromising material, proving massive corruption by the Biden family.\u00a0 This was framed at the time as \u201cRussian disinformation\u201d to protect those who could be guaranteed to continue policies in line with the agenda and programme of the political elite invested in establishing the \u201cnew world order\u201d.\u00a0 This too is no longer a \u201cconspiracy theory\u201d, the allegations against the Biden family are now heavily corroborated to the point impeachment would be likely if Biden was to remain in office.[20]<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the redefinition of \u201cdemocracy\u201d has become narrower still \u2013 those who have pushed this redefinition have in mind have a particular progressive, secular, socialist and internationalist vision of \u201cdemocracy\u201d, politically reimagined by globalist bodies such as the World Economic Forum.\u00a0 Despite being decades old, the WEF became famous during the COVID-19 pandemic with leader Klaus Schwab\u2019s \u201cGreat Reset\u201d where he offered an exposition of what he called a \u201cstakeholder\u201d model of capitalism.[21]<\/a>\u00a0 However, the programme self-describes a new settlement for a responsive \u201cWelfare State\u201d respecting the various stakeholder\u2019s needs, it is thus explicitly<\/em> a socialist model albeit with an elaborate new vocabulary and some visionary, globalist ambition.\u00a0 One of the most distinctive idioms of the public marketing of this position, was that society had been transformed because of the restrictions during the pandemic into a \u201cnew normal\u201d of strong government action necessary to keep everyone safe, \u201cno one is safe until all are [made]<\/em> safe\u201d.[22]<\/a>\u00a0 The key here is the amplification \u2013 the legitimisation of the \u201cmaking\u201d by coercive government of action for some amorphous conception of the \u201ccommon good\u201d.<\/p>\n

Thus, the \u201cenemies of democracy\u201d become the political dissenters from this \u201cnew normal\u201d.\u00a0 This \u201cnew normal\u201d is a global<\/em> vision and thus global resources are utilised to deal with the threats. \u00a0The US experience with Trump illumines this well and we can give extensive attention to this to help advance our thesis.\u00a0 Trump became President radically against the odds; for most mainstream commentators Hilary Clinton was the rightful heir to the Obama era and the next step upon the remaking of the US, and the world in line with the globalist vision.\u00a0 Obama in his final term had none of the reticence and shrewd politicking that characterised his emergence during the Clinton and Bush years.\u00a0 His positions on immigration, undocumented aliens and \u201cgay rights\u201d became radically reconstructive in total contrast to his conservative statements when running for office where even as late as his 2008 run he defended marriage as between a man and a woman only [23]<\/a> and that the border should be secure and non-porous for the security of the nation.\u00a0 This was in contrast to late in his second term when he described \u201cundocumented\u201d residents of the US as \u201cAmericans in every way except name\u201d<\/em> and his aggressive advancement of the \u201cgay rights\u201d agenda.<\/p>\n

However, there was a misjudgement by the liberal reconstructionists of the mood of the nation. \u00a0It was a major upset to see Trump elected on a populist, \u201cAmerican-First\u201d platform utterly inimical to the \u201cnew normal\u201d of the globalist, liberal vision for \u201cdemocracy\u201d.\u00a0 Thus, Trump became the prime enemy of this \u201cdemocracy\u201d and the CIA with its various NGOs, Ukrainian assets and domestic political actors, executed an operation to evict him from office and interfere with the 2020 election to ensure he did not get re-elected.\u00a0 The CIA are experts at destabilising and causing violent agitation to promote regime change and the focus in this case was inward.<\/p>\n

There is now substantial evidence that the FBI was tasked either wittingly or unwittingly to provoke the crowd to allow charges of an insurrection and invalidate any possible challenge to the certification of the votes. \u00a0Video footage released of the Jan 6th<\/sup> \u201cinsurrection\u201d show capitol police ushering protestors through to private areas, opening closed external doors, operatives pretending to be protestors bumping fists after fake arrests.\u00a0 One of the most \u201cviolent\u201d assaults led by Epstein was dealt with quietly behind closed doors amounting to nothing but a $500 fine whilst other Jan 6th<\/sup> offenders are kept in solitary confinement without charge.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to conclude that this was anything but a staged operation; the former head of the capitol police detailed all sorts of operational anomalies on the day.[24]<\/a>\u00a0 Video has even emerged of a \u201cbackup plan\u201d should the results of the 2020 election been challenged because of the irregularities that were plainly coming into public view \u2013 ballot stuffing, compromised voting machines still connected to the internet (all functionality was supposed to be removed before use) and \u201cTwo Thousand Mules\u201d engaged in systematic fraud.[25]<\/a>\u00a0 Postal votes were abused, absentee ballots were abused and people were imitating the dead, people were turning up to vote in person to be told they had already voted by mail-in.\u00a0 All these allegations were substantiated after the fact.<\/p>\n

The backup plan was the DNC\/RNC \u201cpipe bomb\u201d plot \u2013 the FBI announced that \u201cviable devices\u201d had been found at those two locations, these had timers that were to coincide with the certification of the vote.\u00a0 Contrary to all protocol and precedent, the VP-elect was not in the chamber for the most important event of her life but conveniently positioned close to the bomb at the DNC headquarters.\u00a0 She did not admit to being there until it was proved otherwise and has offered no explanation.\u00a0 However, the inference seems clear \u2013 should too many questions be raised about the legitimacy of the vote, the bomb would be detonated, and the media would be informed that an attempt was made on the VP-elect\u2019s life, and this would be used to substantiate claims of insurrection and make impossible any challenges to the certification process by making the count moot by inditing Trump.\u00a0 The reason why this spectacular and scandalous inference was possible is because it is now documented on actual video footage from the security cameras around the DNC on the day and the utter unexplainable behaviour of the Secret Service and capitol police on site.\u00a0 CIA operatives and FBI operatives are now confirmed as present.[26]<\/a> They clearly had advance knowledge of the devices and their placement.[27]<\/a><\/p>\n

In the wake of the events, despite the creation of a January 6th<\/sup> enquiry and high-profile subpoenas and arrests, detention without charge or trial of citizens exercising their constitutional rights to protest, Trump was not even charged<\/em>, let alone convicted<\/em> of insurrection.\u00a0 However, that did not prevent States then taking unilateral, unconstitutional action to keep him off the ballot in those States \u2013 again, the justification was that Trump was an enemy of \u201cdemocracy\u201d and rather than allow the people to decide by not voting for him, the institutions<\/em> of the democracy would take pre-emptive measures.<\/p>\n

Do we see how we destroy democracy in the name of protecting democracy \u2013 what in fact we see is the \u201cliberal\u201d version of the democratic institutions using all measures to prevent their loss of power to execute their agenda of deconstructing the West by destroying the US.\u00a0 Quite remarkably the Supreme Court voted 9-0 that the State action was unconstitutional (but state attorneys were publicly unrepentant), but this legal challenge was but one of 100 other actions brought against Trump to interfere with his ability to campaign and in an attempt to bankrupt him.\u00a0 This we previously called \u201clawfare\u201d and is a common tactic in 3rd<\/sup> world countries and fascist\/communist nations where you go after the former president to prevent him from ever running again (as has just happened in Brazil).[28]<\/a>\u00a0 As has now been noted, this is the first time this technique has been applied in US politics and sets a dangerous precedent.<\/p>\n

The second great destructive tool used throughout the Western world is what left-leaning academics in the early 2000s began to characterise as \u201cdemographics is destiny\u201d.\u00a0 It began to be a topic of discussion in the US academic and public quasi-intellectual space and refers to the theory that white people will be in the minority in many countries that were historically white and were built by majority white populations.\u00a0 With the demographic changes caused by immigration, legal and more significantly in the last decade, illegal, the balance of power would shift in the interests of the political right to the political left.\u00a0 The latter being the case because the Left understand that those seen to be arguing to create a path for citizenship for you when arriving illegally, redesignating and destigmatising you by relabelling you as a \u201cnewcomer\u201d, you are more likely to vote for you than your opponent who wants to deport you.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Europe has been absolutely assaulted with mass migration over the last decade, with enormous Moslem migration exacerbated by the conflict in Syria and the steady flow across the Mediterranean from Africa via the people smugglers out of Libya, and the consequent social agitation that accompanies radical Islam.\u00a0 Britain and France have both witnessed severe Islamic terrorist violence as their Moslem populations break the 15% threshold with some inner-city areas almost entirely Moslem and 99.9% non-White.\u00a0 Controversy recently erupted in a London borough when local Moslems declared an independent \u201cSharia\u201d law zone and put-up signs around the area, announcing they would then police with their own young men.\u00a0 Despite announcing that compliance would initially be \u201cvoluntary\u201d, the implication was that coercion would follow.<\/p>\n

Likewise, both the US and the UK are suffering a border crisis and their respective governments have been adopting policies aimed at maximising the level of immigration into their countries and in providing a pathway to citizenship for those claiming \u201casylum\u201d, even if they arrive illegally or in an undocumented fashion. \u00a0In the UK, corrupt lawyers create fake asylum claims on demand [29]<\/a> crafting stories for \u201cnewcomers\u201d aiming for entry \u2013 like the US, the stigmatisation of being called an illegal immigrant is replaced with the politically correct term \u201cnewcomer\u201d or \u201ceconomic migrant\u201d.<\/p>\n

Thus, UK \u201cnewcomers\u201d get accommodation, benefits, and mobile phones at the citizen taxpayer\u2019s expense.\u00a0 Politicians make a lot of noise and promises regarding managing immigration in order to protect the native population of the country, whilst at the same time presiding over massive increases.\u00a0 They make it harder for people to legally<\/em> immigrate (which has always been of great benefit to the country and should be welcomed) [30]<\/a> for the sake of political soundbites and reputation, but in the name of compassion and social justice allow illegals to remain and at liberty whilst their claims for asylum work their way through a complex and lengthy process.\u00a0 It is now a common site for mass congregations of migrants, predominantly young, single men, in European city centres accompanied by major law and order problems, particularly with sexual assault against women.[31]<\/a><\/p>\n

With a delay in the US of 8-years to a court review and no requirement to report regularly to immigration authorities, this effectively means a \u201cnewcomer\u201d faces little prospect of deportation for monitoring.\u00a0 Additionally, containment policies are so weak, that illegals can easily find their way into the general population and disappear into the black economy, failing ever to report for immigration interviews or asylum hearings.\u00a0 Evidence is now emerging that they then work at establishing networks and facilitate the trafficking of others, often with criminal backing of particularly brutal and unpleasant gangsters as reported by the London police with regards to the Albanian gangs now operating in the city.<\/p>\n

The UK suffered an epidemic of Eastern European prostitution and criminal trafficking gangs as the EU expanded Eastwards.\u00a0 Even TV investigative programmes were to feature East European gangs caught with false ATM facades and running pop-up brothels across the wealthy South of the nation.\u00a0 Chinese run cannabis farms became common, some which were so large that they were discovered because of the drain on the local power grid.\u00a0 The UK was known for its \u201csoft-touch\u201d and became the destination of choice, with other European countries facilitating the passage.[32]<\/a><\/p>\n

The political aim of the policy was to dilute the anti-EU tenor of the country which has always had a tense relationship with the bloc.\u00a0 France was hostile to the UK ever joining and the EU was increasingly characterised as a Franco-German collaborative project which primarily benefitted those nations at the expense of others.\u00a0 Although Brexit happened, it is clearly viewed as a temporary interlude with the Left in the country already finding ways to reintegrate with Europe and making policy decisions to do so, including agreeing to take even more \u201cmigrants\u201d. \u00a0Ireland has also seen unprecedented levels of immigration as a deliberate policy despite the strong, and now violent reaction to the influx.[33]<\/a>\u00a0 The political class in Ireland are busy dismantling the conservative underpinnings of its culture and constitution, taking aggressive political action against famous public dissenters such as Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

Most dramatically, the US has seen the present administration going to extraordinary lengths to facilitate immigration.\u00a0 Over 325000, known in advance to be those illegible for settlement but who have used a special government created mobile application that enables them to pre-book an immigration interview, have been flown into the US at the citizen funded expense, bypassing normal custom controls and immigration checks.\u00a0 Special \u201cundocumented\u201d queues and waiting areas have now been filmed at major US airports with privileges afforded the undocumented illegals denied to citizens.<\/p>\n

It is estimated 20 million would have entered by the end of this year in just four years, with over 100 Trump-era border control measures removed and furthermore, bragged about being removed as a policy priority.\u00a0 \u201cSanctuary cities\u201d and \u201cBlue\u201d states are allowing newcomers to vote in local elections, and non-citizens are entering government posts, police and shortly the military.\u00a0 New legislation is being prepared to allow voting by non-citizens in federal and presidential elections \u2013 this would make the citizen requirement irrelevant and complete the \u201cdemographic\u201d transformation of the country, consolidating the power in the hands of the Democratic Party.\u00a0 The longer motivation is to remove the obstacle of constitutionalism by \u201cpacking\u201d the Supreme Court which has stood in the way of a worldwide transformation as envisioned by the globalists of the WEF.<\/p>\n

Globalists have long viewed the US-Constitution as the biggest obstacle to world government as it is constructed in such a way as to deny a foreign power sovereignty over US-citizens and to protect the US-citizen from its own government behaving in a tyrannical manner.\u00a0 The present administration caused an enormous reaction during COVID when it became evident they were attempting to grant the WHO executive authority over US-citizens,[34]<\/a> usurping constitutional provisions.\u00a0 This was replicated worldwide a year or so later when the WHO announced the \u201cPandemic Treaty\u201d, a treaty that for the first time would allow the WHO to decide and enforce global health policies in the event of a pandemic.\u00a0 Pushback has been non-trivial to the degree that the UN has announced a special \u201cnon-stop\u201d conference aimed at progressing the measure with the US proposing a resolution that would recast it as an \u201cagreement\u201d rather than a Treaty.[35]<\/a><\/p>\n

Thinly veiled behind these initiatives is the presumption that the nation state has outlived its usefulness.\u00a0 We are to consider ourselves \u201ccitizens of the world\u201d.\u00a0 We might celebrate our heritage and even insist on our identity but there is a higher \u201cgood\u201d which we, like the members of the Federation of Star Trek<\/em>, voluntarily give our lives for and to. \u00a0Once we have done so, we have left behind that which of our old self would stand against the vision of us now enlightened.<\/p>\n

If we share the planet then it stands to reason we should be able to live anywhere we choose.\u00a0 From the grand ancient Assyrian empires, through to Alexander the Great and ever onwards, the desire of a world government is homogeneity and a transnational identity that would bind people together.\u00a0 People would not war with one another if they were \u201cone\u201d.\u00a0 This would seem astonishingly na\u00efve as the colonisation of South America created a number of Spanish speaking nations that despite a common colonial heritage were not willing to be a single nation.<\/p>\n

However, there is a contingency plan here even for this stubborn trait of human beings refusing to surrender their individuality, the new societal planners deny in principle the legitimacy of those individual \u201crights\u201d. \u00a0Without rights, we become children in need of discipline which will be provided by our elites who work all things according to our good. \u00a0Noah Harari, as a prophet of this new transhuman age has expounded, \u201crights\u201d are \u201cnice stories [like God] but have no biological reality\u201d<\/em>.[36]<\/a>\u00a0 He, and visionaries like him, such as Prof B F Skinner as a historical precursor, view concepts such as freedom, individuality, natural rights, right and wrong as relics of a post-Christian age.\u00a0 In the new scientific<\/em> age, such anachronisms can be dispensed with, and we can have real<\/em> scientific planning of society by an elite (of which, naturally enough, he and others like him such as the fellow-travellers to the WEF, considers themselves as members).[37]<\/a>\u00a0 With a pause for critical thinking, we might think this sounds a lot like Plato\u2019s philosopher kings or Auguste Comte\u2019s [38]<\/a> rule by technocrats.<\/p>\n

So, to summarise our investigation, we must understand that the destruction of the West is desired both by the Islamists and their new partners the Marxists, but also by the technocratic leaders of what we have variously called the \u201cDeep State\u201d or the \u201cNew World Order\u201d.[39]<\/a>\u00a0 We understand that mass illegal migration is a \u201cweapon\u201d that combined with internal policies that allow the \u201cnewcomers\u201d to be integrated into civic and military society, and to vote despite being non-citizens, having no allegiance to the Constitutions of our nations.\u00a0 It is designed to transform our nation states into members of a transnational body.\u00a0 The EU had pushed this agenda hard, and it has malfunctioned with the biggest upset in Europe being the UK Brexit and in the US the emergence of Trump.\u00a0 However, such internationalists never give up and the immigration route to the UK is wide open as a deliberate policy to create a UK with a demographic favourable to re-entry to the EU bloc.\u00a0 Similarly, within the US, the border was intentionally opened as a matter of \u201chumanity\u201d and there is now no such category as an \u201cillegal alien\u201d, but we are now \u201cnewcomers\u201d.<\/p>\n

My task with this discussion has been above all to inform and to understand this is not an unplanned event.\u00a0 If we do not act, we will lose the West and the historic Western, democratic values to be replaced with a tribalistic form of government that separates people on the basis of race or some other identifier, limiting their freedom of speech and using \u201cdiversity, equity and inclusion\u201d as mechanisms of social control. \u00a0This means we must vote and educate accordingly to arrest the decline in our cultures.\u00a0 We must act. It should be unacceptable for those who come to the West as students or temporary residents to aggressively demonstrate for Islamic revolution and the destruction of the nation in which they are guests.\u00a0 Their rights to study or remain should be withdrawn and they should be rapidly deported.\u00a0 Thus, it was correct that the top US law-firms announced that any signatories to the Harvard Lawschool declarations of support for HAMAS against Israel, would not be considered for future employment.\u00a0 Demonstrators that call for worldwide \u201cJihad\u201d or \u201cIntifada\u201d and the genocide of a whole nation, need to understand that there will be consequences for refusing to respect the rights of others in a democracy. \u00a0We also need to ensure the reformation of state and educational institutions to divest them of the Marxist influence and to protect individuals from being victimised by such policies.<\/p>\n

In the same way, we must recognise the manifold failure of the premise of multiculturalism.\u00a0 It is now empirically proven that most non-Western cultures that have a strong sense of their own identity do not migrate West to peacefully assimilate but rather to establish a base and to colonise, in a benign manner or otherwise.[40]<\/a> \u00a0Our history demonstrates what were thought of as peaceful minorities become violent agitators for their own way of life as insular and self-contained communities developed. \u00a0If there is no investment in the culture and values of the nations in which we are resident, but rather a concentration on where we came from and a value equivalence granted between newcomers and citizens, the citizens will become the marginalised and subsidise their own destruction.\u00a0 There can be no clearer example of that at the moment than with the practice of mass immigration and the \u201ccatch and release\u201d policies, or the millions spent on housing the \u201cundocumented\u201d or \u201cnewcomers\u201d. \u00a0Not many of us would deny that we should be always willing to grant asylum and to facilitate immigration, but it should be under very clear and strict, legal terms.<\/p>\n

So, to finish where I began, it is of no question to me that the UK (and the West) are experiencing an inflection point that are undoing its very democratic foundations.\u00a0 There is an ushering in an era of a socialism that is far more sensitive to how it markets itself, wrapping itself in social justice motifs as an excuse to mitigate against the freedom of the individual and to tyrannise over those who stand in its way.\u00a0 The government, and now the international strata of government represented by UN and transnational NGOs, are working hard to get people to buy into the utopian vision, to surrender their freedom in the name of social and environmental responsibility.\u00a0 We must not allow them to succeed.<\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> \u201cScientism\u201d is the belief that the only questions worth asking are the questions that science can answer; or alternatively, the only legitimate answers are the answers offered by naturalistic science.\u00a0 The logical positivist manifesto of 1933, tr. \u201cthe Scientific View of the World\u201d, the Humanist manifestos https:\/\/americanhumanist.org\/<\/a> \u00a0and the rise of scientific naturalism in the 1960s (particularly in the post-positivism of W.V.O. Quine), are examples of this category.\u00a0 Noah Harari is a modern example, who argues we are now in a \u201cpost-human\u201d age as humans merge with technology, they are the \u201cintelligent designers\u201d.<\/p>\n

[2]<\/a> Modern Marxist sects that still consider alienation between human beings as primarily<\/em> economic, rather than in the broader categories of the neo-Marxists and critical theorists (see note 6<\/a>), will typically label themselves \u201cTrotskyite\u201d (more open to pragmatic market-mechanisms and democracy) in contrast to the centralisation and tyrannical authoritarianism of the Stalinist character of Russian communism, that was never truly expunged until the meeting of Reagen and Gorbachev, followed by the reestablishment of the Russian republic with Yeltsin and then extensive democratisation under Putin, who was initially very willing to work with the West.\u00a0 Just how betrayed Putin felt during the Bush and Clinton era can be heard in his controversial interview with Tucker Carlson, https:\/\/tuckercarlson.com\/the-vladimir-putin-interview\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n

[3]<\/a> The HAMAS charter (1988) can be read here:\u00a0 https:\/\/avalon.law.yale.edu\/20th_century\/hamas.asp<\/a> .\u00a0 Although you have no doubt in reading this that the West are the imperialist powers allied with the \u201cNazi Zionists\u201d and that \u201cJihad\u201d is the only<\/u> way to solve problems (\u201cinitiatives, proposal and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavours\u201d, <\/em>Article 13)<\/em>, it must also be strongly stated that as with much Islamic literature, it is relatively mild<\/u><\/em> compared to the practice<\/em> of HAMAS some 37 years later.\u00a0 Perhaps the largest distinction that can now be drawn is the response to the \u201cCommunist East\u201d, HAMAS sent a delegation to Moscow within days of the present war starting, see also note 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[4]<\/a> I consider the background to why two seemingly disparate revolutionary groups would make common cause in https:\/\/planetmacneil.org\/blog\/hamas-vs-israel-understanding-the-conflict\/#_ftn47<\/a> .\u00a0 In brief, Lenin supported Islamic<\/em> revolution as a localised expression of the Communist revolution in one of the first post-revolutionary congresses.<\/p>\n

[5]<\/a> This was why it was South Africa that brought proceedings to the International Criminal Court against Israel on behalf of the revolutionary Islamic movement, despite their own questionable record on human rights issues.\u00a0 Just this week (11th<\/sup> March 2024) the South African government announced it would arrest any of its citizens who had fought for Israel in the current conflict with HAMAS.<\/p>\n

[6]<\/a> It is arguable that in the academy, Marxist or \u201ccritical theory\u201d (Marxist analysis applied outside of its original economic context, i.e., no longer is it just economic relations that \u201calienate\u201d humanity, but it is the \u201cimbalance of power relations\u201d in most spheres of life, e.g., sex, race, gender etc.) has been particularly strong in the Western academy since the 1960s.\u00a0 Faculty and specifically tenured faculty (who then build a faculty around themselves consolidating and reinforcing their positions), have been unabashed in their advocation of Marxism in fields such as law, sociology, economics, and political science.\u00a0 In a UK context, it was significant that one of the first significant reforms that Premier Thatcher made in the early 1980s in her reform of Higher Education and her general battle with the \u201cenemy within\u201d (which to her was \u2018socialism\u2019), was to remove tenure of this kind.<\/p>\n

[7]<\/a> \u201cDeep State\u201d is a contentious term eliciting visions of dark conspiracies in the subterranean strata of the governments of the West and there is no doubt some merit in such an analysis as the Biden family corruption saga rolls on and the various hoaxes and \u201clawfare\u201d prosecutions perpetrated by opponents of Trump in an attempt to impeach and discredit him, are almost too many to count (103 active cases at the moment).\u00a0 However, \u201cDeep State\u201d in its most benign sense in the US might be roughly analogous to the \u201cCivil Service\u201d in the UK, it refers to the relatively politically agnostic bureaucracy of government that would be employed regardless of the tenor of the elected executive.\u00a0 Arguably, with the rise of identity politics and its aggressive tribalism, this principle of neutrality is becoming a thing of the past and \u201cDeep State\u201d has increasingly imported in the notion of the nefarious opponents embedded in the bureaucracies usurping the execution of the policies of the executive by their \u201cprincipled resistance\u201d for the sake of the greater good.<\/p>\n

[8]<\/a> The distinction between the two is significant, \u201cdisinformation\u201d might be considered a contraction of \u201cdisingenuous information\u201d, i.e., intended to deceive, and might be argued to be destructive or dangerous.\u00a0 \u201cMisinformation\u201d is far weaker, perhaps information without sufficient detail or context. \u00a0Historically, in a democratic society, being misinformed might have been considered at worst reprehensible but was hardly a basis for censorship.\u00a0 In contrast, disinformation which has criminal motive or deceptive intent might legitimately face prosecution or sanction.<\/p>\n

[9]<\/a> As an illustrative British example, the recent submission of the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (https:\/\/bills.parliament.uk\/bills\/3430<\/a>) contains controversial clauses which create new categories of \u201cspeech which might cause distress or disturbance\u201d<\/em> without being considered criminal.\u00a0 However, like crimes, they can be recorded against an individual.<\/p>\n

[10]<\/a> In the UK, unlike in the US and perhaps some other locations, rather than by blocking entrances and other \u2018direct action\u2019 to save the unborn, these are almost exclusively passive and low-key in the sense they offer support to women by non-aggressive approach, who may feel there is no other option other than to have an abortion.\u00a0 These are often immigrant or poorer women, or those in very difficult circumstances such as spousal or partner abuse. \u00a0I supported, personally, a campaigner who had been helped in such a situation as an immigrant in an abusive relationship who was offered help and support on the way into an abortion clinic and now has a seven-year-old daughter; she took the campaign for the right to offer support as far as she legally could.<\/p>\n

However, in recent years this \u201cquiet\u201d support has been the subject of aggressive and noisy counter protests by radical pro-abortion groups and the British government has allowed the introduction of \u201cexclusion zones\u201d around these facilities, despite recognising that it was often the counter-protests that were loud and aggressive.\u00a0 It is notable that even silently praying to oneself within these zones makes one liable for arrest for your \u201cthoughtcrime\u201d; when tested in court such arrests have been deemed unlawful, but some individuals have been arrested multiple times by multiple officers in the same locations despite these rulings \u2013 one white-headed mature lady was arrested by six officers.<\/p>\n

[11]<\/a> It should be recognised that around 1 in 10000 human beings have a biological basis to claim to being \u201cintersex\u201d, where either they have male and female genetic identifiers, or both sets of sexual organs.\u00a0 However, this is qualitatively different than subjective, sociological, and psychological claims of \u201cintersexual variation\u201d.<\/p>\n

[12]<\/a> In broad strokes, \u201cequality\u201d might be conceived of in two ways \u2013 of opportunity<\/em> or of outcome<\/em>.\u00a0 The former might be considered the classic liberal or libertarian view, an individual chooses whether or not to avail themselves of the opportunities which are made available to them – a just and equitable society is conceived of one in which these are available to all without discrimination, but also without compulsion.\u00a0 Implicit in this is the motivation and character of the individual, leading to a diversity of outcomes, status, and wealth; it might be considered the paleo-capitalist view first codified in Adam Smith\u2019s Wealth of Nations<\/em> (1776) which was prefaced with a particular theory of moral sentiments which emphasised the importance of wealth as a tool of creating social infrastructure to benefit all men and women, rather than for personal aggrandisement or shareholder profit. \u00a0Rather, \u201cprofit\u201d was a legitimate aim because it created \u201cwealth\u201d, the raw material of societal improvement.<\/p>\n

The latter is the socialist view, in which the tool of the coercive State is used to prevent inequalities of income or the development of personal fortune by, as in the Marxist version of socialism, the collective ownership of the means of production; each has an equal stake in the success of communal businesses and equality is imposed in a top-down manner.\u00a0 In most communist nations of Eastern Europe, South Asia and South America, this manifested itself in brutal dictatorships, barren and austere functional styles of architecture made with concrete and a meagre subsistence living.\u00a0 Albanians were told they enjoyed the highest standard of living in Europe, with the government providing a single loaf of bread a day for the population.<\/p>\n

Utopian socialists believed this reorganisation could be on a voluntary cooperative level as in Robert Owen\u2019s \u201cNew Harmony\u201d community experiment (1824) which sat atop of the original Lutheran \u201cHarmonie\u201d community.\u00a0 Owen later lamented the failure of the community because of the problem of human nature, \u201cI was then ignorant of what everyone who attempts to govern men ought to know\u2014that every person has within him a self-constituted judge\u2026which will not\u00a0be controlled by\u00a0any laws or regulations that are not\u00a0in accordance with\u00a0it.\u201d<\/em> New Harmony lasted barely four years but still exists as a tourist attraction, Saxby (1987) offers a salient description and analysis of the interaction between the early socialist and Christian communitarian movements which had substantial comment in Marx and Engel\u2019s Communist Manifesto<\/em>.\u00a0 For the Manifesto<\/em>, utopian socialists were considered to be to the \u201cleft\u201d of the true path, i.e., Marx and Engel\u2019s.<\/p>\n

In most Western nations, the severity of the Marxist model was somewhat diluted from the aggressive communist revolutionary form, but it is still this model of equality which has been far more common in the last two hundred years rather than the libertarian or liberal views.\u00a0 States have become progressively larger and more invasive, i.e., more socialist.<\/p>\n

[13]<\/a> Most professional politicians in the West (and probably the East also) are \u201cgroomed\u201d throughout their lives.\u00a0 The persistent Platonic notion of the \u201cphilosopher kings\u201d as a ruling elite of society that are best equipped to rule in contrast to the riotous plebian mob committed to democracy and populism, is still alive and well.\u00a0 Both the British and the US politicians (and I would guess most other European nations) have their own elite schools and universities which provide a cultured path to those who rule according to such a perceived birthright.\u00a0 In British political culture, even the Leftist radicals within the Labour Party have felt able to avail themselves of this system once elected, sending their children to the best \u201cpublic\u201d schools (in the UK, unlike in the US, a \u201cpublic\u201d school is anything but, it is an elite institution), even though their public support for policies that would wipe such institutions away.<\/p>\n

[14]<\/a> There is an issue of nomenclature here.\u00a0 Historically, socialism and socialists in the US in the early part of the 20th<\/sup> century almost exclusively adopted the label \u201cprogressive\u201d to avoid association with the tyranny and brutality of the French revolution (nominally 1789-1799, but whose effect was to continue throughout the next century and might be considered the intellectual heritage of the Marx-Engels synthesis in their Communist Manifesto<\/em> (1848)) and the Russian Bolshevik communist revolution (nominally 1917-1923).\u00a0 Further, in modern American parlance, the progressive is synonymous with the \u201cliberal\u201d, with the latter often preferred in politically sensitive environments; though some on the radical Left, post-Trump, are comfortable to publicly identify as \u201cdemocratic socialists\u201d.<\/p>\n

This was not the case in Europe, socialists distinguished themselves with pride from the \u201cbourgeois liberals\u201d and identified themselves as socialists first in opposition to European liberalism. \u00a0To the European, this classic \u201cliberal\u201d (sometimes now known as neo-liberal), encapsulated the optimistic pathos that individual freedom, collective justice, and equity could be ushered in by enlightened legislation and a primary respect for individual rights and freedoms.\u00a0 The classic statement of this view was J S Mill\u2019s On Liberty <\/em>(1859) which begins from the premise of maximising the individual\u2019s freedom and demarcating the activity of the State with respect to this premise.\u00a0 It is considered one of the classic works of political philosophy.\u00a0 The changes to society are viewed as incremental; it is this \u201cevolution\u201d, above all else, that the radical socialists with their revolutionary<\/em> model rejected \u2013 no modification of the old, corrupt institutions was possible, they must be swept away by revolution<\/em> and replaced from the ground up<\/strong>.\u00a0 In practice though, European socialism came back from the brink of embracing revolutionary politics (with notable exceptions, there are still plenty of splinter Trotskyite factions) in the early decades of the 20th<\/sup> century (in lieu of the violence and bloodshed of the Bolsheviks) and the socialists became a feature of the political democracies with the large expansion of suffrage.<\/p>\n

In my view, this was, rather paradoxically, also owing to the influence of Mill.\u00a0 Mill in 1830 went to France and read a range of the revolutionary works by the Saint-Simonian school (Claude Henri Saint-Simon (1760\u20131825); Amand Bazard (1791\u20131832), Barth\u00e9lemy Prosper Enfantin (1796\u20131864)) which might be considered the first corpus of an explicitly socialist political programme.\u00a0 Though there had been precursors in the egalitarianism and collectivism of the English Revolution with groups such as The Diggers and The Levellers emerging from Cromwell\u2019s New Model Army, inspired by his political pluralism (being the first to support religious rights for the Jews), they were still Christian in their basic assumptions; modern secular, \u2018scientific\u2019 and materialist socialism emerged from the writings of these later men.\u00a0 Mill moderated the practice of these writers but might be considered as incorporating the ideas as the noble aims of the liberal politics.<\/p>\n

[15]<\/a> Biden\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d speech (2024) began with a comparison of Trump with Hitler (though Trump was never explicitly named, the inference was deliberate and obvious) and that America was facing the greatest threat to its survival as a democracy since the Civil War.<\/p>\n

[16]<\/a> This is the thesis expounded by Schaller & Waldman (2024) whose work was showcased on MSNBC (a national US-broadcaster). If ever there was an academic working out of Hillary Clinton\u2019s description of rural, white Americans as \u201cdeplorables\u201d, this was it.\u00a0 As the Daily Beast<\/em> reviewer approvingly agrees, \u201c[they]\u00a0persuasively argue that most of the negative stereotypes liberals hold about rural Americans are actually true\u2026<\/em> The main problem with Trumpism is not Donald Trump but Trump voters.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em>On the basis of this analysis, I should imagine the converse is also true \u2013 the rural Americans can take comfort in that their stereotypes regarding urban liberals as elitist and condescending, are also substantially true.<\/p>\n

[17]<\/a> I examined this in an article published on my blog at:\u00a0 https:\/\/planetmacneil.org\/blog\/systematic-fraud-with-dominion-voting-machines-in-michigan-for-starters\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n

[18]<\/a> During the COVID pandemic, the premier of New Zealand announced to her people that the \u201cgovernment will tell them what is true\u201d<\/em>, that was the essence of a committed, socialist premier.\u00a0 New Zealand adopted some of the most brutal lockdown policies and some of the harshest sanctions against \u201cdeniers\u201d.\u00a0 People faced jail if their COVID test was not conducted by a medical professional.\u00a0 The Premier became increasingly unpopular and left her country after COVID receded to take up a well-rewarded lecturing position at Harvard.\u00a0 New Zealand is now suffering one of the highest incidences of \u201cAdult Sudden Death\u201d syndrome and vaccine related injury.<\/p>\n

[19]<\/a> Trump was notable for never entering a conflict and architecting the Abraham Accords which brought peace in the Middle East as close as it has been.\u00a0 He had the respect of Putin, the Chinese and even the North Korean leader after the very public \u201crocket man\u201d incident.<\/p>\n

[20]<\/a> The fact is that Biden will not remain in office, as it is now generally accepted his cognitive decline means he could not take up the office even if he was to be successful.\u00a0 It may well be his next VP pick, perhaps someone so politically Left they would never be supported by the voters, would be the real target for power and executing the plan for the transformation of the US into a post-constitutional form of government more in line with the demands of globalist orthodoxy. \u00a0Paradoxically, impeachments tend to improve the public perception of the impeached and for this reason are reluctantly executed (Clinton actually benefitted from his impeachment).<\/p>\n

[21]<\/a> See the bibliography for his primary works of that period.\u00a0 The first was a \u201cpopular\u201d version of the more academic second work.\u00a0 Schwab is no fool and neither are those he represents, they are visionaries, secular scientists, and technologists, frequently bequeathing to science a messianic tone as witnessed in the writings and speech of those such as Noah Harari.\u00a0 Their writings and research are non-trivial and their critiques of big-money capitalism where profit alone motivates, are cogent and legitimate.\u00a0 Notwithstanding, their work claiming to be a benevolent reimaging of capitalism, suited for the planet and other \u201cstakeholders\u201d is an entire, integrated political programme that reimagines the world along the lines of a new \u201cscientific\u201d consensus which becomes the normative basis of a new social contract for all.<\/p>\n

Thus, despite its energetic claims to be otherwise, this is not a free-market model where individuals and nations trade with one another, creating wealthy nations and thus social progress through the building of institutions through the generation of capital and value, the essence of Adam Smith\u2019s form of free market capitalism; but a central reorganisation of societal relations, with a detailed and elaborate marketing programme designed to promote the lay acceptance of the programme; we might call that \u201cscientific planning\u201d which is worth correlating with Marx\u2019s vision that his was a \u201cscientific socialism\u201d in contrast to the utopian socialism of some of his peers.\u00a0 This is a prescription for a benevolent \u201cWelfare State\u201d orientated to the needs of its stakeholders, where capital flows away from \u201cshareholders\u201d to state social institutions; capital must yield to state priorities for \u201call\u201d.<\/p>\n

With its emphasis on central<\/em> planning, no matter how distributed the local iterations and implementations of the programme might be, this is planning of a new social contract with global scope and a new tier of transnational organisation, i.e., at base a radical, globalist, internationalist, socialist model that sits below the tier of the \u201celite\u201d.\u00a0 Schwab\u2019s machinations in describing the privileging and de-privileging of certain \u201cstakeholders\u201d to support the intermediate or transitory state from \u201cshareholder capitalism\u201d to \u201cstakeholder capitalism\u201d in which all stakeholders should be equal but cannot be during this time, can but remind one of Orwell\u2019s \u2018Animal Farm\u2019 where the pigs, as a first privilege, had the milk mixed in with their food because the cows needed to be milked.<\/p>\n

[22]<\/a> This is a quote from an official UK government response to a petition against mandatory vaccinations for \u201ckeyworkers\u201d (e.g., government bureaucrats, National Health Service workers as the largest groups).\u00a0 \u201cOfficial petitions\u201d registered with the government that gain over 100 000 signatories get a response from the government and a \u201cdebate\u201d in a minor committee room with no law-making or changing power.\u00a0 Apparently, this measure was introduced to \u201cstrengthen\u201d and improve \u201cparticipation\u201d in British democracy.<\/p>\n

[23]<\/a> This was widely perceived as being a means to capturing the black evangelical Christian vote.<\/p>\n

[27]<\/a> Dan Bongino during the first two weeks of Feb 2024 (Ep. 2189, 2186) featured this footage on his programme and the reporters who had done the investigative work.\u00a0 These podcasts are available on Dan\u2019s site on Rumble, https:\/\/rumble.com\/c\/Bongino<\/a> .\u00a0 Dan started with the NYPD, worked at the Secret Service during the Clinton and Obama years and was Fox\u2019s anchor before starting in the new media space 8-years ago.\u00a0 He now has over 3 million followers on Rumble.\u00a0 Dan\u2019s show is not for the fainthearted, he is a public MAGA Republican, aggressive and outspoken, but he is an exceptional newsperson and aims to be fair and open in his reporting despite his own strong views.<\/p>\n

[28]<\/a> Jair Bolsonaro left Brazil two days before the end of his term for Florida and has not returned.\u00a0 Subsequent to his leaving office, many of his high-profile supporters, journalists and professionals have left the country before they were arrested by the incumbent President who immediately went after his political opponents to consolidate his razor thin hold on power, a story told firsthand by https:\/\/tuckercarlson.com\/the-tucker-carlson-encounter-tyranny-in-brazil\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n

[29]<\/a> The problem became so evident in the UK that the government created and announced a public policy of shutting down legal firms that were proved to have provided false narratives for immigrant clients.<\/p>\n

[30]<\/a> I consider the complexities of immigration in https:\/\/planetmacneil.org\/blog\/why-we-should-enforce-legal-migration-and-resist-illegal-migration\/<\/a> .\u00a0 An additional dimension to the problem was also identified in the controversy surrounding the \u2018Sound of Freedom\u2019<\/em> film; open borders mean traffickers are not forced through points of entry where they are most likely to be discovered.\u00a0 Open borders are exploited by cartels with sex-trafficking the world\u2019s second largest criminal enterprise after illegal drugs.\u00a0 I examined this in more detail in https:\/\/planetmacneil.org\/blog\/sexual-ideology-child-trafficking-and-the-sound-of-freedom\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n

[31]<\/a> Sweden, with its liberal government immigration policies, had major problems over the New Year period.\u00a0 In one district of Florida, 29 out of 30 occupants of the city jail were undocumented, illegal immigrants who had been processed into the US by the \u201ccatch and release\u201d policy and who were arrested for serious sexual offences.\u00a0 The local Sheriff posited that it was \u201ccultural differences\u201d \u2013 what the men were doing was perfectly acceptable in their own countries.<\/p>\n

[32]<\/a> The moderate Conservative Party primeminister David Cameron once announced it was the dream of many a Eastern European to make it to Britain, such was the rate of exodus from some of the Eastern bloc countries as they joined the EU.\u00a0 TV programmes chronicled the empty villages of Bulgaria, as they headed westward to a \u201cbetter life\u201d in the UK.<\/p>\n

[34]<\/a> The US had sponsored an amendment to the WHO constitution which would have granted them executive authority over the national governments in pandemic conditions.\u00a0 The UN, via the WHO, is continuing to push for a Pandemic Treaty, which is really the trojan horse for establishing an additional layer of executive world government with binding powers over the nation states.\u00a0 If it can be established with Health, it will follow for areas such as Education and Social Policy.<\/p>\n

[35]<\/a> This is because a Treaty has to be ratified by the full US-Senate, an \u201cagreement\u201d requires no ratification.\u00a0 This has all the appearance of a shameless piece of politicking.<\/p>\n

[36]<\/a> Don Bongino during Feb 2024 during breaks on his radio show, often carried this clip.\u00a0 Jones (2022) is specifically critical of the implications of Harari\u2019s atheistic view; a section of Harari\u2019s famous bestseller Sapiens<\/em> (2014) has an entire chapter on humans transcending the human condition to become \u201cgods\u201d.<\/p>\n

[37]<\/a> They are very public about it too.\u00a0 The WEF broadcasts most of its sessions and I remember one particular episode where the immaculately manicured presenter lamented that \u201cpeople just do not trust the elite [us] anymore\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

[38]<\/a> August Comte was a 19th<\/sup> century philosopher of science and is credited with the founding of scientific sociology, as well as founding the \u201cpositivist\u201d movement, that sought to describe through \u201cpositive evidence\u201d rather than to abstractly theorise or explain.\u00a0 He also proposed an elaborate new humanist religion, there are still \u201cpositivist\u201d churches in Brazil.\u00a0 \u201cPositivism\u201d became famous with the logical positivists of the first half of the 20th<\/sup> century and some of his religious tenor is found in the first Humanist manifesto of the 1930s.<\/p>\n

[39]<\/a> There might be a functional distinction between the two, with the \u201cDeep State\u201d properly understood as the instrument of the New World Order but key players migrate via powerful NGOs between the two.\u00a0 One such organisation called the Atlantic\u2026\u00a0 has six former Directors of the CIA on their staff (I intentionally omit the full name here, but Dan Bongino\u2019s book goes into detail about the history and make-up of the group).<\/p>\n

[40]<\/a> This is not to suggest that individuals or families have not assimilated or have been grateful for asylum or have immigrated legally.\u00a0 Rather, I have the case in mind of our so-called \u201cManchester Bomber\u201d, the son of Libyan \u201crefugees\u201d who within 10 years hated the country enough to execute a suicide bombing which killed 22.\u00a0 The parents returned to Libya just four weeks before the bombing and the bomber himself was with his family in Libya just four days prior.\u00a0 As with the case of Laken Riley in the US, it is difficult to avoid the equation that these deaths were preventable by enforcing a rigorous asylum and immigration protocol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It is undeniable that the world generally seems to be at an inflection point.\u00a0 In 2024, around 75% of nations will be having elections meaning that it is possible that politically the world could be a very different place by the end of the year. \u00a0What seems obvious to the dispassionate observer is that the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[177,107,279,281,51],"class_list":["post-784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","tag-anti-semitism","tag-democracy","tag-hamas","tag-politics","tag-trump"],"yoast_head":"\r\nThe Unmaking of the West -
