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!

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

Posted by seumasach on February 17, 2023

16th Feruary, 2023

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!

A way out glimmering in the obscurity

Posted by seumasach on November 12, 2022

Cailean Bochanan

12th November, 2022

Suddenly there are two possible deals emerging: on the one hand, Washington agrees to recognise the four regions which have been incorporated into Russia on the basis of a vote which the West had declared invalid and the Republicans, the GOP, agrees to recognise the result of an election  which the OSCE was not permitted to monitor. The two are logically connected: the USA accepts it’s defeat in Ukraine and at the same time US ruling class pulls together abandoning any semblance of democracy as it negotiates the dangerous rapids of imperial retrenchment.

The problem I have with this scenario is how Russia can accept a rump Ukraine which can still be weaponised as an anti-Russian state. In other words, if they cannot denazify it themselves, how can they trust the Americans to do it for them? The question could be put in another way: is the collective West prepared to denazify itself, to sideline the mad warmongers, the neocon, and address all the Russian concerns expressed before the Ukraine war began? That would be a turn-up for the books!

However, something extraordinary has to happen. If Sullivan has given the Russians an ultimatum not to launch a final, decisive winter offensive then the prospect of nuclear war looms large and terrifying. If the war is allowed to run it’s course, the rout of NATO would have revolutionary consequences for the West- no ruling elite in history has survived anything comparable. If elite survival is the goal then neither of these scenarios is credible and the only remaining option of a fudged compromise, no matter how unlikely, remains the only solution, the only way out of the labyrinth in which the illusory manifest destiny loses itself while the lights go out on the City on the Hill.

Stranger things have happened: who would have imagined that the last Roman emperor Romulus Augustalus would do a deal with the Goths: but it preserved the ascendancy of the Senatorial elite. If elites hang together they  won’t hang separately. The US ruling class has given an object lesson in class solidarity as millions of popular votes disappear. Kali Lake has had to be censured for taking it personally. She should remember that the democracy stuff only ever was talk. But the time for such talk is over. It’s time to walk the walk- and the walk is a retreat.

NATO Proclamation at Annual Summit Threatens The Peace

17th June, 2021

The NATO proclamation—promoted at its annual summit this week—that a cyber attack could trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty heightens the risk of military confrontation with Russia or China.

So does a new stipulation—announced at the summit—that space attacks could trigger Article 5. Russia has already been accused of testing space-based anti-satellite weapons, which could be adopted as a justification now for war.

Article 5 says that the NATO alliance regards an attack on one of its members as an attack on all of them. That is supposed to come into play only in case of an armed attack, since that is the only kind of attack under the UN Charter that warrants responsive use of force.

Indian Punchline

16th June, 2021

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) summit in Brussels on Monday reminds us once again of what a hoax the United States had perpetrated on the former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1990 by assuring him that the western alliance would expand “not one inch eastward” once Moscow allowed German Unification and disbanded the Warsaw Pact.

CARBIS BAY G7 SUMMIT COMMUNIQUÉ

Posted by seumasach on June 16, 2021

White House

13th June, 2021

“In Cornwall we have revitalised our G7 partnership. Our Shared Agenda for Global Action is a statement of our shared vision and ambition as we continue to collaborate this year and under future Presidencies. As we do so we look forward to joining with others to ensure we build back better, in particular at the G20 Summit, COP26, and CBD15 and the UN General Assembly, and reiterate our support for the holding of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 in a safe and secure manner as a symbol of global unity in overcoming COVID-19.”

This is the concluding paragraph of a document which reveals a G7 rediscovering its own irrelevance. Good to see its repeated references to the G20 which should have replaced it long ago. Nothing however about Johnson’s grandiose plans for a D-10 alliance of so-called democracies. No mention at all of NATO but plenty of mention of the UN and international law which will bring groans of dismay in Downing Street with their “rules-based international order”, the rules made up by themselves, being undermined. The usual childish anti-Russian propaganda although with a worrying reference to defending the recognised borders of Ukraine- does that include Crimea? Wisely, the G7, which includes Japan, has desisted from its attempts to get the Olympic Games cancelled.

NATO Summit: Confronting China, Russia, and the World

Posted by seumasach on June 15, 2021

The failure to mention India as a “partner” is excellent news suggesting that the “Asian NATO” project is dead in the water. Perhaps that is also why China is being less targeted?

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization ended its summit in Brussels on June 14 and issued a communiqué listing achievements since the last summit and a blueprint to take the military bloc to its next one in 2022. The representatives of the thirty-nation alliance also endorsed the 67-page document used to prepare the summit’s discussions and decisions, NATO 2030: United for a New Era. In turn the summit tasked NATO with elaborating a new Strategic Concept to replace that adopted at the Lisbon summit in 2010.

Why the EU is lining up against China

Posted by seumasach on June 3, 2021

“The United States is pursuing its plan to transform the Atlantic Alliance from a super-army against Russia to one against China. The European Parliament has just quietly placed the European Union on this political line, even before the governments have taken a decision.”

Jacinda Ardern is now the West’s woke weak link

Posted by seumasach on May 9, 2021

Welcome to the Multipolar World Order! Arden’s crime is to choose strategic autonomy rather than hanging on to the dead end of the post-WW2 system. The New Cold War benefits no one but a small coterie linked to the military/industrial complex. Despite a huge ideological offensive peace risks breaking out!
