A new paradigm for a post-imperial world

Back to the Cold War! Farewell to utopia

Klaus Schwab would be turning in the grave were it not for the fact that he is still alive, at least technically. And Greta Thunberg’s iconic scowl has disappeared from the front pages, and the middle pages, as she awaits a possible 6 month jail sentence for blocking an oil terminal on the basis of the “the science”. Al Gore is even hinting at regime change in the UK:

“Maybe the people of the UK will bring about a change in the nation’s perspective – and even possibly the leadership.”

Let’s see what Soros can do!

The trigger for all this is, of course, Sunak’s virtual abandonment of the Green agenda pushing back the deadline for electric vehicles, the phasing out of gas boilers and other so-called environmental requirements until 2035- in other words, forever.

This is very good news for anyone who drives a car, owns or rents out a property or pays taxes. |t helps to stave off, or at least mitigate, the ongoing disintegration of Britain.

What could have led Sunak to abandon the flagship policy of the globalist elite of which he is a seeming, mere puppet?

The key word here is “globalist”. The Green agenda is a global agenda or it is nothing. Klaus Schwab put it at the core of his stupid book, “The Great Reset”, which came out in 2020 just in time for another global phenomenon, a so-called epidemic, a crisis provoked by mass, positive PCR testing alleged to correlate with an alleged illness called Covid. Schwab was seemingly confident that a global consensus around so-called global warming would replicate the consensus around medical orthodoxy, including vaccination, and would lead straight to the mirage which for so long had for so long possessed the fevered and befuddled minds of the Anglo-American imperial elite: the New World Order. Schwab was merely the new kid, or rather new old fool, on the block following the passing, or near passing, of his mentors Kissinger and Brzezinski. Both were out of the Council on Foreign Relations stable i.e a continuation of the line leading back to The Round Table Group where the NWO plot in its modern incarnation was hatched.

Significantly, Brzezinski had despaired of the project in a speech at the Council in 2010 lamenting that too much opposition to Anglo-American hegemony had emerged in the rest of the world and the veto held at the UN by Russia and China. Nonetheless, in his last years he found hope in the advancement of the Green Agenda  with its promise of global de-industrialisation and depopulation leaving the world in the control of a transhumanist elite who with the help of a chip in the brain might even aspire to the intellectual heights of Plato’s philosopher kings. Luckily, unlike Kissinger, he didn’t live long enough to see his project flounder.

Where did it all go wrong?

Implicit but unstated in the The Great Reset was regime change in Russia and China. Perhaps Schwab didn’t want to give the game away and maintained the pretence that an imaginary global corporate power could shepherd us effortlessly into the long desired NWO utopia. But there was a plan: Russia would be provoked into invading Ukraine and an unprecedented campaign of sanctions would lead to regime change in Moscow. The hated Putin, the man who had prevented Russia degenerating into another Ukraine would be gone, with the Chinese next on the agenda.

What made them imagine that it would work? Even I knew it wouldn’t- don’t they have intelligence and diplomatic professionals to keep them right? Not only has it not worked but it has turned into a fiasco and a humiliation for NATO. Unperturbed they will nevertheless settle for a long war whilst they try to rearm and remilitarise society. It has led us back to another Cold War. Meanwhile, Russia, China and developing East have no intention of falling for the net zero nonsense as they industrialize.

Rearmament and remilitarization, not just endless, gratuitous spending to fill the coffers of the MIC, is a big ask in a US/UK with a depleted industrial base, a run down military and a vanishing skills and labour base. And with the lunatic Net Zero policy cast in stone it’s simply an impossibility- tilting at windmills so to speak. Interestingly, Britain leads the way but there is a Democrat government in the USA. Sunak kills two birds with one stone, sinking the left and the Labour Party which defines itself above all as green and taking us all on a journey down memory lane back to he Cold War, on the road to nowhere since a rundown West, all 800 million of us, now faces what is, in effect,a new non-aligned movement rallying most of the remaining 8 billion or so. But we will fight and we will be right until the whole thing collapses under the weight of unimaginable debt in a hyperinflationary typhoon of worthless paper assets. Then like a drowning man we will reach out the the new multipolar world order and the Age of Empire, the Age of Iron will come to an end. Ironically this could herald the age of peace, the Golden Age, that inspired the imperial project in the first place.

Meantime, the rest of the Reset agenda has to go as well starting with the Woke agenda which is obviously incompatible with militarism. Then there’s the famous Modern Monetary Theory, beloved of Klaus Schwab, whereby you can print as much money as you want and there won’t be inflation. Remember that? As I say, this little is the last delusion before the deluge. These are all agenda’s that the left has made its own and the screams of pain will soon be heard in the corridors of academia where most of them hang out as well the editorial boards, the NGO’s, charities and other strongholds. They will continue to signal their virtue but the message will no longer register even if a grossly devalued monthly, pay-roll cheque does.

Everyone seems to have overestimated the globalists even their sworn opponents. The latter attribute to them almost supernatural powers of evil but in the end they are only human and it is human to err. In fact, their capacity to err makes them almost superhuman. The NWO manages to be at one and the same time both a conspiracy and a cock-up.

What now? Will they revisit their last great success, lockdown? Early signs for takers don’t look promising- even the German Health Minister seems to have morphed into an anti-vaxxer and the predictable plans to build quarantine centres, in New York, have run into unexpected opposition.

Best just to come quietly, Sir!

China’s mediation to normalise Saudi-Iranian diplomatic ties has been widely welcomed internationally, especially in the West Asian region. A clutch of unhappy states that do not want to see China stealing a march on any front, even if it advances the cause of world peace, mutely watched.

Credit chaos

Following the day-to-day twists and turns of a banking crisis can make us lose sight of the bigger picture. It is tempting to think that the banking authorities are in control, and they will secure the integrity of their commercial banking networks. Unfolding events may or may not prove this to be true.

The bigger picture is that the forty-year decline in interest rates is over, as well as the financial bubble that has built up with it. And we should also be aware that there is a cycle of bank credit, the downturn of which is long overdue. The two have come together to create chaos in credit markets

The reality is that central banks have already lost control over monetary policy and interest rates. Interest rates are now being driven by contracting bank credit, not by monetary policy. The point which is commonly missed is that contracting credit at a time when credit demand is still increasing inevitably leads to higher interest rates and bad debts.

Having lost control over interest rates, the Fed has been forced into its much-heralded pivot, not by reducing interest rates, but by offering to buy Treasury and Agency debt at face value whatever the coupon and maturity. This rescues banks from the immediate fate that collapsed Silicon Valley Bank. And it makes it easier for the US Treasury to fund its deficit while containing borrowing costs. 

But it is highly inflationary.

The pivot has now been made. The Fed has decided to rescue financial markets at the expense of the currency. Other central banks can be expected to follow suit to help rescue their banking systems. But in the process, they are writing the death warrants for their fiat currencies.

More Fallout from War in Ukraine

5th March, 2023

As the Russian “Special Military Operation” grinds on in Ukraine, Russia and China have joined forces to confront the legacy of Western imperialism in Africa and Asia. The war in Ukraine may have begun as an attempt by Russia to secure its border against NATO’s encroachment in Ukraine, but it has now escalated and expanded into a deliberate policy, led by Russia and China, to establish a new multi-polar world that is not a beholden to the dictates of Washington, London and Paris. This involves more than just pursuing stronger diplomatic ties with the so-called Third World, it also includes creating alternative financial systems that will permit trade and commerce without having to worry about sanction-crazy Americans.

Irresponsible Politics: Australia’s B-52 Nuclear Weapons Problem

That is the problem facing the AUKUS alliance which makes Australia a central point of reference for Washington and its broader ambitions in curbing China.  The alliance is increasingly being characterised by a nuclear tone.  First came the promise to furnish Australia with nuclear powered submarines, absent nuclear weapons.  Then came the announcement to deploy six B-52 bombers to the Northern Territory’s Tindal airbase, south of Darwin.

The Twilight of the Woke, Green Gods

Posted by seumasach on February 8, 2023

Cailean Bochanan

8th February, 2023

Jacinda Ardern was the model WEF sponsored politician, a perennial supporter of all things woke and green and an imperious lockdowner. What could have gone wrong?

Back in 2019 the Evil One, Stoltenberg, straying somewhat from his North Atlantic realm, visited Ardern in New Zealand full of praise for her co-operation with the Atlanticist terror-grouping. But there were underlying tensions: New Zealand insisted on an amicable relationship with China and remained insistent in its anti-nuclear stance. Nothing that a bit of lockdown couldn’t set to right! But no. Unlike Australia, which gleefully sacrificed itself for the the higher purposes of war with China and the chimera of an Anglo-led New World Order and agreed to become a nuclear power after being subjected to a punitive lockdown regime, New Zealand continued to be unreceptive to the message. There must some quality in New Zealand culture which renders them capable of independent policy-making even under the worst imaginable leadership.

In April, 2021, one of Britain’s leading warmongers, Con Coughlin, launched an escoriating attack on the New Zealand, strongly suggesting its expulsion from the Five Eyes network (but that would make it the Four Eyes network, an infelicitous name for a spy agency). Outraged by their refusal to break completely with China he concluded:

“We live in an age when, as US President Joe Biden has warned, countries that value democracy need to work together to counter the threat posed by authoritarian regimes like China. By choosing Beijing at the expense of her Five Eyes allies, Ms Ardern risks eroding New Zealand’s credibility on the global political map.”

She had been warned:”Work together or else!”. Or else what? What about removing her from office! If so, there is no evidence, at first sight, that is has worked so far:

“Our foreign policy position hasn’t changed just because there’s a change of prime minister.The government foreign policy is the same as it was under Prime Minister Ardern.” New PM, Hipkins, has said. Apparently that means sticking to a friendly policy with China as well as the rejection of nuclear.

However, Hipkins is, according to ABC News, “axing or delaying many of his government’s more contentious policy plans”. These include a hate speech bill that “would have impinged on free speech” and “a mandate for fuel suppliers to increase their use of biofuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions” which “would have raised the cost of gas”. Since when did exponents of woke politics concern themselves with free speech or the green Gretins abandon their policies just because they were going to destroy the economy! What is going on?

The failure of NATO’s war against Russia has forced reprioritisation. Senator Marco Rubio, ultra war hawk, succinctly expressed one of these new priorities:

“Rather than making the case for American greatness and protecting our nation, the military is parroting woke nonsense. It’s dumb, it doesn’t work, and it’s dangerous. We need to spend more time thinking about how to counter Chinese aircraft carriers and less time thinking about pronouns.”

Actually, they have to spend more time thinking about how Chinese/Russian hypersonic missiles are going to blow US aircraft carriers out of the water but the point is certainly a valid one from the point of view of the effectiveness of US armed forces. Many other voices have joined this chorus.

Similarly for the Green Agenda. Just a few months into NATO’s latest military fiasco, no less a figure than former Secretary of State and former head of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, had this to say:

“It is my conviction that America and the West must acknowledge the centrality of hydrocarbon energy to world geopolitics…….Today’s obscene fuel prices should stimulate increased output. But for the fact that our government’s regrowth policy stands in the way. We’ve become enraptured by unreal narratives. Thank you, Greta!”

The Great Reset wasn’t so great after all! The reset of the reset has begun. Where is it leading us? Well, nowhere, of course- silly! The US is no more capable of taking on China and Russia together than it is of taking on Russia on its own, and less capable by the day as the whole of Western society and economy collapses. Military and economic power has already shifted inexorably to the East and catching up is beyond the reach of even the most fevered and malign spirits in the Anglosphere.

As for Pompeo, just as for his co-religionaries

“He’s a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.”

A bit like you and me, in fact!
