One of the side issues with regards to the USAID scandal is the fact that it was part of a system that has dominated the world since the Cold War. During the Cold War, this same system came to dominate the West, both as a whole, but also within the discrete parts of each member country. In fact, what happened at the end of the Cold War is this system sought to fill the void left by communism. The system was not liberalism, but rather a form of minoritarianism, minority rule.
Minoritarianism is a term coined by political scientists to describe a condition in which a minority has control of key decision-making processes. For example, the U.S. Senate requires a supermajority for certain things, which gives the minority party the power to veto these issues. This is the filibuster that the Democrats complain about whenever they need to placate their voters. In the case of the Senate, this system is to prevent the majority from abusing the minority.
Since the end of the Cold War, it has been official American policy to control the politics of the rest of the world. The endless yapping about “our democracy” is always about imposing Western systems on the rest of the world. After all, we have reached the end of history and there are no more debates about the morally correct way to organize a society, so everyone needs to fall in line. Even though the overwhelming majority of the world’s people disagree, the minority demands it.
This is where programs like USAID and NED are used. Their job, in many cases, is simply to sow chaos in targeted countries. Once it is determined that the majority is unlikely to get onboard with liberal democracy, Western aid programs go in to stir up trouble in the name of helping the poor or promoting rights. It is why they love sponsoring things like women’s rights in Muslim countries. The point is to undermine the unity of the majority in the country.
The same approach is applied to regime change. In Georgia, for example, the majority of the people wanted a patriotic government that would strike a balance between East and West, but that was bad for the people running American foreign policy, so USAID was dispatched to regime change the place. What followed was a year of protests and unrest, until the government kicked out the foreign aid workers. Once the USAID money dried up, the protests dried up.
The funny thing about the regime change operations is they rarely result in a stable government, but that is not seen as a bad result. If Slovakia falls into chaos after toppling the Fico government, that is fine. That is viewed as a better result than having a pro-Slovak government. The goal is always to prevent a majority from forming anywhere, whether it is inside a country or among a group of countries. The goal of minority rule is to keep the majority in chaos.
This makes a lot of sense from an American perspective. The United States is a small population compared to the rest of the world. If the rest of the world, or even a section of it, united against the empire, it would be big trouble. This is why both Israel and the United States work to keep the Arabs fighting each other inside their countries as well as among the countries of the Arab world. As much as Israeli and American politicians talk about peace in the region, they prefer the chaos.
We can probably date the birth of minoritarianism as an essential part of popular rule to the post-Civil War period in America. The ruling elite of Yankee New England became the ruling elite for the new country that was formed up after the war. That became even more explicit with the progressive revolution in the late 19th and early 20th century, culminating in the New Deal. Suddenly, the people making decisions would be educated experts from the best schools, all of which exist in the Northeast.
The story of 20th century domestic politics in the United States is one of discord and friction over race, region, and religion. Over and over one group is pitted against another preventing a majority forming up against the ruling class. Conservatism, for example, evolved so it could prevent a white majority forming up against the social policies preferred by the ruling elite. The many progressive causes were promoted to keep the coalition of fringes under control.
Everywhere there is turmoil there is the crisis of minoritarianism. Europe is in crisis because the big important countries have no role in decision making. Instead, you have girl bosses at the EU calling the shots. Estonia has more say in decision making than France, Italy, and Germany. Of course, the crisis was precipitated by the Ukraine war, which is the result of Ukraine being ruled by a non-Ukrainian with the support of the ultra-nationalist who make up ten percent of the population.
There is something to say in favor of minoritarianism. Most people are average to below average in their abilities. Collectively they are not magically above average. This has always been the fatal flaw in democracy. In fact, the majority tend to operate below the average of the whole. You need the smart fraction to run things, but the smart fraction needs to act in the interest of the majority. Otherwise, you get chaos, which is what we have seen over the last thirty years.
What we may be seeing now is the end of minoritarianism. The rest of the world is figuring out how to defend against it. This is why the American empire is beginning to withdraw from the frontiers. The American economic elite seems to be seeing the danger, which is why they have backed Trump and his plans to dismantle the managerial state. Even the minority, or at least enough of it, is figuring out that they must act in the interest of the majority.
The curse of the eighth decade is an observation that Israel becomes unstable in the eighth decade of its existence, in whatever form it takes. The first Jewish kingdom, led by King David, lasted for 80 years. The kingdom of the Second Temple lasted roughly eighty years before it was conquered by Rome. The modern state of Israel was formed in 1948, which means it is reaching its eighth decade. The current troubles in the Levant are rooted in the growing instability of Israel.
Perhaps something similar is happening to American minoritarianism. In his book, The Jewish Century, argues that the modern age is the Jewish age, by which he means the post-war world created by America. That is a good starting point for when minoritarianism became the defining feature of America. Eight decades of turmoil later and we are reaching the end of minoritarianism. The curse of the eight decade is now coming for the organizing principle of the American empire.

After what i saw last night between Trump and Netanyahoo, we can only hope that it all comes apart over there and we must leave that cursed region.

Somebody on another page chastised me for feeling that way and I think he has a point. He said we all should hope for Israel to survive and thrive. Why? Because if Israel falls apart, the vast majority are going to end up here.
It is a sobering thought to consider the idea that Jews might end up being 4% of the population once Israel gets cleaned out.
Israel’s strategic value in the middle east was to function as a monkey wrench thrown into arab politics. They are experts at dividing the locals in order to control them as we have seen here in the west. They were remarkably successful to be honest. The remarkable rise of sexual perversion and devastated families has their finger prints all over it. Unfortunately with the debacle shaping up in Gaza, Israel is now galvanizing the arabs and unifying them. They are rapidly changing from an asset in middle eastern geopolitics to a distinct liability – especially now that mass migration of… Read more »
Sometimes I wonder if this is another example of the Mandela Effect. In my timeline, the ME has always been a fractious bunch, unless under a strong, even brutal leader. It took a Caliphate to get them to put aside that silliness of Mo’s legitimate successor. Once that Caliphate was gone, there were back to their tribal squabbles, much like you would expect of any group of tribes.
Israel has had a minimal role in keeping musloids divided. If anything, the entire history of modern Israel is one of uniting the Arab League.
Presisely. T E Lawrence sends a thumbs up.
Lord Balfour (of Balfour Declaration) was known antisemite. The sole point of British support of the creation of Israel was (citing from as jewish as it gets Forward rag): “According to historians, Balfour had personally delivered passionate speeches about the imperative to restrict the wave of Jews fleeing the Russian Empire from entering Britain.”
Methinks, the best solution was and still is by Stalin: relocating the source of troubles to Birobidzhan in South Siberia, bordering China. World can humbly ask Chinese to re-apply their ancient knowledge, and build the (very, very tall and thick) wall encircling the area.
Human travel to Mars was impossible when the Jewish Autonomous Oblast was declared, and it still wasn’t possible in 1996, when the contemporary flag was adopted. In fact, human travel to Mars remains impossible today but not for much longer, maybe no more than five years. Then Elon’s need for warm bodies will become acute, and, if he’s still alive, he’ll have several scores to settle with the nation of Jacob.
Agree. The British version of the Havarra Transfer Program operated through the ’30s and the War, but like their relatives in Germany, the middle class Juden (who are NOT the problem) didn’t want to leave civilization for a crappy colony, and participation was low.
They undoubtedly saw the Autonomaus Oblast in Siberia as an extremely crappy Pale; the diff is Stalin didn’t forcibly relocate them as he did others, as they were his managerial class, he only knocked them off the throne.
Big J used Germany to force Little J to do his colonizing for him.
Frankly, I watched that I wondered if Trump was not trolling Netanyahu. Trump’s plan to turn Gaza into a resort is so ridiculous that I have to assume there is something else going on. For his part, Netanyahu looked like he had a bad clam. The whole thing was so weird I think we have to wait to see what is really going on.
i think trump is making hamas *and* israel think about if both lose gaza. and he is making other arab states think if they really want palistinian refugee camps in their countries. in other words, he is making the status quo untenable for everyone in the ME.
Since Jordan got into a war with the Palestinian refugees, and had to use the Arab Legion to kick them out, I doubt that anyone will take them…and it’s likely that many Arab countries would prefer both the Israelis and the Palestinians gone….
that’s what i meant, trump is using re-settlement as a threat to get the region to find somewhere to dump the palis, and settle the ME down.
they will have no choice in the matter.
They don’t want the Palestinians anymore than we do. They are nothing but trouble everywhere they go. I think China has the right way of dealing with them as they deal with the Uyghurs.
Israel has been trying the tibet/uyghur strategy…
At least the Jews loan us money, sell us diamonds, provide good medical care, do our taxes and provide many other valuable services. They’re a downright asset until they aren’t. Problems arise when they get a bit too ingrained in positions of power. Ah well, historical cycles and all that…
Trump wants other Arab countries to take the Gazans. This would accomplish Israel’s aim of eliminating Hamas by eliminating the Gazans. It will not happen.
You might have a point there. Back in the 2016, the predecessors to Q were posting on 4chan. Namely, FBI Anon and Mega Anon. I forget which of the two posted this, but they intimated that BiBi was a family friend of the Kushners who used to stay at their place. Specifically in Jared’s bedroom. Ignore that if you want, but think back to a few weeks ago where Trump tweeted that that link saying that BB was a “deep, dark, son of a bïtch.” Is that what he meant or was he just referring to the general evil of… Read more »
Exactly. It is not as it appears.
Say what you will about Blumpf and his supposed jewish masters… I strongly suspect he will be a troublesome servant at best. He will demand (and receive) top dollar for his services.
What’s with this “Blumpf” shit?
That’s a cruel thing to say to someone with a speech impediment.
Apologies. It is a way that I awkwardly mock my ideological enemies…
Yeah, seriously. Walked into a business event, guy at my table, does not know shit about me, blurts out some comment about “blumpf” this and that.
I look at the guy, paunchy, poorly dressed with an ugly wife.
Turns out his prattle included mentioning he had a “favorite porn star” and “do you have one…?”
For fucks sake.
Trump is specializing in weird these days…and the remarkable thing is that it seems to be working for him…
In what way, P?
you more than most here should know that 🙂
He backed Mexico, Panama and Canada into a corner with his casual 25% tariffs and threats of military action…and they caved immediately
What’s weird about that?
I’m Albertan. Demographically we have more in common with Texas and Montana than we do with the liberal faggotry out east.
To most of us here Trump makes a lot of sense…
My first reaction when I read the headline with Trump’s proposal was almost despair. But then I reminded myself that a good negotiator never starts with what he actually wants. Personally, I’d pave over both Gaza and Israel – but as TempNick says, the last thing we want or need is all the Jews and Palestinians in AINO – or Canada, Europe, Australia, etc. I have no good solution but will wait and see what Trump actually does. His zionist tendencies and big Jewish donors still concern me, though.
Make Gaza an Indian reservation for the Palis – get the jews and arabs to pony up for reconstruction and build that beautiful casino resort (jews get a cut, Arabs won’t get resettled palis). Let the Palis run them/staff them (jobs!) with jewish oversight and taking a cut (usury is their middle name, no?). They can be a state within a state just like indians are here. Or like Vatican city. Most Vegas properties are staffed by illegals here, the same could work for Gaza. Do West Bank too while were at it.
That describes essentially all “Indian”-owned casinos. The front men have very limited equity and the usual suspects have massive contracts that suck up the loot.
Gaza is already run with Jewish oversight. Many Jews hate the Palestinians, see them as subhuman, and think it is their religious duty and obligation to wipe them out.
Not to mention gambling is totally degenerate and haram. You won’t get Muslims to work there and aid in grave sin. This is totally crazy.
Every Arab house has a wet bar, Iran used to be one of the top wine producers under the Shah, Riyadh and Tehran used to be Las Vegas in the MidEast as described to me by the expats who lived there prior to the ’80s.
Drugs are probably the #2 source of income in the Middle East, and gambling is as inshallah as it gets for bored hedonists loaded with money. Muslim women inhale pills. Macau is filled with Arab tourists. The moment they get on a jet plane, the burkas come off and the booze breaks out.
Years ago I listened to an interview with a journalist who was very critical of Saudi Arabia. A caller asked him why he didn’t respect the right of the Saudis to run their societies according to their own religious ideas. The journalist replied that he had no problem with that but he did have a problem with the hypocrisy of the Saudi elite. He cited a prince he knew who during the Islamic fasting period of Ramadan was in a bar in Hong Kong having a good time, behavior he said was routine for Saudi bigwigs.
I would argue there is a massive difference between someone surreptitously having a few bottles of wine in their house and suiting up and going to work at a casino that was imposed upon your neighborhood by the American empire.
It’s not like casinos were the Indians’ first choice either. And look, I am not a bleeding heart, we conquered the continent, it is ours and not theirs anymore. But I don’t want America to own the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the imposition of fake and gay USAID/Totalitarian Personality/Eros & Civilization values upon the region.
Why don’t we pave over the land with all of them still on it?
It’s one thing to propose crippling tariffs to try to force a deal, it’s another to put ethnic cleansing on the table. What Trump proposed was totally bizarre in every sense of the word. I don’t see how this is in America’s best interest to even propose this.
As I speculate elsewhere, it could be that he’s just that obtuse to say stupid shit. Or does his madness have a method? By floating such ridiculous trial ballons, he shines a spotlight on a lot of the vested interests (or, in the present case, wannabe vested interests). Is that intentional or not? Your guess is as good as mine.
I don’t really think that Trump believes this is a good idea; we all know he hates Netanyahu and it is almost like he floated the craziest idea he could think of just to put this war criminal scumbag on the spot. But… he did propose it. Even as a lunatic half-troll idea just saying it on a camera is a bad idea.
It might top inflicting Mike Huckabee on them.
Who could have forseen that the most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world would both place high in the running for trolliest worldwide?
There’s only one thing wrong with that post–the Finkels don’t eat shellfish…
Last time he was president he tried being Reagan II and got screwed. This time the persona is Teddy Roosevelt. Reduced to a simple, repeatable, recognizable move—a brand—Roosevelt is ludicrous imposition, comically unreasonable demands barked at the whole world, seemingly from out of nowhere. A personal fantasy of commanding a throbbing young empire. Trump’s not the kind of lunatic TR was, but acting that way looks like a lot of fun, and it “gets results”—very bad results, but those are in the sequels. Back when Trump wasn’t going to be president (or alive), junior Kushner was already put in nominal… Read more »

Someone’s been feeding Salon.com articles to the AI again…
That was a direct shot at Israel’s real objective which is to boot the natives and build beachfront resorts in Gaza. Trump was poking them in the eye and basically saying “We’ll take that land before you do and then we’ll give it to the Palis.” Also today it was reported that Hegseth plans to remove all US troops from Syrian in the next roughly 90 days. One of the great shocks that followed Trump’s win and Assad’s exile was when people found out there are a lot of US troops in Syria, that they are regularly attacked, and that… Read more »
From your lips to God’s ears.
Boy, I really hope you’re right. The idea of being embroiled in that hellhole gives me the shakes.
For me, there is one potential positive in Trump’s actions yesterday.
That potential positive is keeping Speaker Johnson on side.
We all remember how awful Ryan was during the first part of Trump 45.
Oh yeah. When the Appian Way leading into DC is festooned with the rotting bodies of our enemies, let’s hope that Paul Ryan is among them.
Ryan sabotaged the 2018 midterms by resigning and taking 40 GOP reps with him. They did this specifically expecting Pelosi to impeach. Then Fox gave him a cushy job to reward him financially. Fortunately, the blue wave stuff was a lie, and the GOP Senate expanded. So Trump could not be removed.
That guy should rot in hell.
I am not anti-Israel, or anti-Jewish, or anti-Arab. I am, however, anti-endless bullshit. My first memory of the ME drama was the 1967 Six-Day War. At the age of seven, I became a “fan” of Israel with its plucky, resourceful military, routing all the baddies of the Arab League. Comes the Yom Kippur war of 1973, and – being now a fan – I rooted for the Israelis, just as I was by then rooting for the Orioles, the Knicks and the Chiefs. They were the good guys, the Arabs were the bad guys, same as Willis Reed, Brooks Robinson… Read more »
When even some guy in his recliner (me) was able to see what USAID was up to around the world, which happened I dunno, 3 or 4 years ago, then that means the leaders of foreign countries had figured it out sometime before that.

Unfortunately normie AINO citizen was still not hip to it yet in 2020 when they did it here. I’ve noted before the debate in this comment section about whether Obama was… Read more »

Anyway, let’s hope that our Laser Pointer has a long-life battery installed…
A wonderfully apt description. I follow the news and regardless of what is going on, I truly don’t care because the people who despise me and want me and my family dead (Heritage Americans) are losing their effing minds and crying buckets of tears and have ZERO idea of what to do every time Trump, or one of his aides-de-camp open their mouths.
a friend of mine literally begins shaking every time she hears his name mentioned, much to the chagrin of her daughter. It’s all so very entertaining.
I will have to dig up the link, but there is a video article at Vlad Tepes and a book about the incestuous circle of Obama, Holder, Clyburn, Keith Ellison, Kamala and their ilk as being the direct heirs groomed for the task of turning America into a Black Red/Green Communist Muslim state. Kamala’s parents were both cell members of the Bay Area cadre led by Khalid al-Mansur, the guy who founded the Black Panthers and went to work in Saudi Arabia to get the imprimatur by a sheikh that got Obama into Harvard. Obama’s grandparents and mother were hard… Read more »
Trump didn’t have the wherewithal to take down these people’s organizations. This is the work of the new ascendant oligarchy that is backing him, who, for whatever reason, have had it up to here with Clown World Inc. While the ousted faction still exists, so much of the organization that they’ve spent years building, commandeering, and refining, is just gone. Just like that. Sucks having to start over late in life. The still unanswered question going forward: what do the new oligarchs really want?
First, the young bulls want to push the old bulls off the hill.
Bravo, Comrade Zoar, Bravo! (prolonged and thunderous applause).
Don’t stop clapping first, or Czar Zoar will zend you to Ziberia.
Ah, I saw ‘Minotaurarianisim”. I imagined some monster lurking in the Federal Bureaucracy…
Hahahahahaha!
According to a Chinese “geopolitical analyst” I follow on youtube, the consensus among Chinese intellectuals is that the US’s desire to annex Greenland, Canada, Mexico and the Panama Canal is the logical behavior of a retreating empire. Trump and the people around him understand that the US can’t sustain its position as the global hegemon. Absorbing the surrounding countries would work as a protective measure in a multipolar world.
Do we want Mexico? I don’t think there’s anything there we want. It’s barren like most of the western part of this country.
True. Why bother taking over Mexico, when you already have your own Mexico From California to Texas.
Exactly. We already got their people, might as well take their resources too.
Tequila and Pyramids
Oil and mestizos.
Parmigiano Reggiano and balsamic vin…oh, wait a minute.
Wait, hasn’t anybody watched Fievre or Sabado Gigante on Telemundo late Saturday nights? Those girls wear dental floss and ain’t ashamed to be women. And when the weather lady turns to the side half the screen is obscured.
Trump has already issued the EO that hard 9’s are automatically legal citizens.
That’s the last thing we want – if the 9s are automatically legal citizens, less incentive to marry an American.
Maybe. Wall off a piece the size of DC up against the Squatemalan border, take away all technology higher than flint, and turn the place into an open-air prison. If they can’t grow enough food, well, boo-hoo. Apply for asylum in Squatemala. They don’t want coloreds either.
It is rich and filled with resources. My neighbors, all from Mexico, tell me once you get past Baja, the north- that’s where the very racist mestizos pushed what remained of their indio tribes, into the barbaric Yaqui territory that even Aztecs couldn’t conquer, so barbaric were they- that once you get past the north, there is high tech everything: hospitals, oil refineries, factories, skyskrapers, etc. Now, high tech is not like urban China, which is the 22nd century, but it is certainly far more than Detroit in the civilized spots.

Mexico is extremely diverse ecologically and topographically, once you pass the northern desert section. Jungles, highlands, huge mountains, seaside, so forth.
I wandered all around the place in the old days. Nobody who has travelled there would consider Mexico barren, except as to its marxist, feminist President Claudia.
Nor is the western U.S. ‘barren’. Come on folks, look at a map at least.
New Mexico, Utah, Nevada all look pretty barren to me. The Western part of Colorado, though not the same kind of barren. And large sections of the other states as well.
Utah forty miles atop the Nevada border and then all the way north is near paradise. Unfortunately, California has finally discovered it.
Now hold on! I was telling those Montana supremacists we have just as many trees in Nevada as they do.
They’re just, like, really small. Dwarfish, you could say.
Only about a foot and a half tall. We call them sagetrees.
Yes, the low and high deserts are in the West. Part of the splendor and majesty that resides in the West. Tetons, Sierras, Cascades, Rockies, stamp of God is on them.
I lived at high altitude in N.M. for many years. I enjoyed the wide-open vistas for hundreds of miles. Leave the city and in twenty minutes you’re in desert or mountains, peace and silence.
Yes I’m biased, I consider everything east of the Rockies as graduated swampland, a few mountains mixed in.
Couldn’t agree more. Southwestern landscapes are the best. There’s a reason most great Westerns feature panoramic cinematography that captures the stark grandeur of this region.
I love New Mexico. Albuquerque, Los Alamos, Santa Fe & Taos. If only their damned politics was sensible.
Sun’s too hot and atmosphere is too thin on some of them NM noggins. Bakes the noodle prematurely and nobody wants a premature noodle. :O)
I actually prefer the southern part of the state: Roswell, Ruidoso, Las Cruces, Socorro. And it’s the north, specifically Albuquerque and Santa Fe, that is responsible for New Mexico’s deranged politics. Analagous to Chicago and Illinois.
The Western US is God’s country. Even California is still beautiful if you stay out of the Third World-ized big cities.
How nice it would be if Tradissident whites could establish a stranglehold on the West and secede.
Get somewhat west of Fredericksburg in Texas, and it begins to look rather barren.
There are definitely barren stretches in the West. But if you’ve ever lived in New Jersey, you won’t complain.
Baja’s a nice place. My wife from volcanic Italy says it’s like home “but California.” Which may just mean it’s full of Mexicans. I really only know what Sammy Hagar sings about it. Every few years there’s a little manufactured groundswell among conservatives to take Baja and give it to “Israel” (American land and finance conglomerates). I’ve never heard a plan for what to do with the rest of Mexico when it “joins” us, via treaty or conquest or whatever. The visions of Mexican voters dancing through Democrats’ heads have been soiled by their men’s liking of Trump (and Morrissey).… Read more »
Give ’em Baja as Tel Aviv Tijuana? Might as well, they already own Monterrey. Edit: Oops, you said “Israel”. Well, American retirees have colonized Baja in spades, so consider the deed already done.

Mexico, run properly, could be a jewel in the crown of our Empire. That aside – a century-long undertaking, I imagine – seizing and ruling Mexico with a firm hand would largely destroy the drug trade that is doing so much to wreck our society. Ordinary Mexicans would probably greet us as liberators. Of course there would have to be a 25-50 year delay in giving it statehood. No, they’d be a conquered people, much as the Germans and Japanese in 1945. As to Canada, well, we could give lenient conditions for statehood to all the provinces west of Ontario,… Read more »
Let’s think this through. MX has 135M citizens. US officially, 340M. Of those US citizens, 20% are Hispanic, or 68M. The new US population would therefore be 475M with over 200M Hispanics. Is that really the demographics a White race realist dreams of?
Psst. Mexico has Pemex oil, and this time socialista Pancho Villa wouldn’t be attacking the Exxon oil rigs.
Plus, yes, they’ve been in a Cartel civil war, after Pappy Bush and Salinas moved the Contra drug money banks from Colombia and Panama to Mexico City.
From the hairy-scary stories I’ve heard over years, they would hail us as liberators, and their men could stay home. There are whole towns of all daughters because all the husbands went north. If a doctor did well and tried to open a small hospital, his daughter wouldn’t get kidnapped for the ransom money.
Give Quebec back to France. They need a cold nasty place to send all their Muslim and African troublemakers. It can be their own little slice of Siberia.
Has a lot of nice beach front. Seems to be Donnie’s thing of late.
So China’s claims on Tibet, Inner Mongolia, East Turkestan, parts of the Hindu Kush and Himalayas, Taiwan, and the South China Sea islands mean it’s a retreating empire?

I know. That’s why I figured 3g wouldn’t just drop something like that for no reason. I’ve never noticed any waft of rice myself, but the online RW is crawling with Chinese trolls.
Call China an expanding empire if it colonises the Caribbean (roughly as far from China and as close to the USA as Philippines was vice-versa). Apart from the trade issue, the PRC is content to be the regional hegemon in East and South-East Asia. China really has three main geostrategic objectives: (1) not to have US-funded foreign troublemakers on its periphery, (2) to ensure that its trade route access to the Pacific and Indian Oceans cannot be blockaded (3) possession of a bastion sea for its SLBM deterrent == doesn’t want US sticking SOSUS type arrays in South China Sea… Read more »
This seems right. In a way, the purpose of the Ukraine war reflected a decision to downsize the empire, specifically to pull back initially to a Europe divorced from Russia, and then to fall even further back to the Western hemisphere. It has a certain logic to it despite the deranged aspects such as the prospect of nuclear war and integration with Mestizos. Ditching imperialism should be the goal, of course, but people are greed heads.
Agree.
Ah, the “red giant theory of history.”
Contraction by expansion? Not to refute Chinese intellectuals, but wtf? If the US cannot sustain itself as a global hegemon, then by what logic does it “absorb” large countries on its borders? This is like expecting a decaying Soviet Union to “absorb” (in its dying convulsions) Iran, Finland, Mongolia, Poland…
The whole subject is preposterous, like Martian colonization. I salute Orange Hitler for the trolling.
This is why I love to confuse lefties by saying this is actually white supremacy.
I always point out that, at best, “our democracy” is a form of neo-colonialism.
It’s funny, but ca. 1965-1991 Leftists would have agreed with you.
Once the USAID money dried up, the protests dried up… The modern state of Israel was formed in 1948, which means it is reaching its eighth decade. The current troubles in the Levant are rooted in the growing instability of Israel… As to the first full sentence, it will be interesting to see if the same about protests applies domestically. I expect it will. As to your last there, somehow related is Trump’s bizarre and alarming announcement yesterday that essentially called for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and basically a yuge casino on the strip. I don’t think that will… Read more »
The two months since Trump was re-elected have been the Army’s two best recruiting months in 15 years. So says Hegseth.
They’re still smitten with Trump. Wait until the anti-Israel noise begins to take root.
I saw that; maybe this will cool it down.
As you commented earlier, Palestine essentially is an Indian reservation. In a sense, Israel is an Indian reservation for Jews. If it ceases to exist the diaspora will be a calamity for the recipient nations. The likely future for Israel will be as a deranged theocracy with an overwhelming religious majority. In an odd way, that may prove to be far more stable.
I don’t know the purpose of suggesting Gazans be ethnically cleansed for a casino/strip mall, but the odds are great that was floated for a reason other than what was stated.
Because Trump is sowing fear in both parties, both Israel and the Palestinians have a common enemy…
I’m sorry to hear that.
Maybe it’s connected in imperial terms with Trump’s interest with Greenland and the Panama Canal. I read somewhere a while back that Israel wants to build a new canal bypassing Suez with its northern terminus in north Gaza. This fits in with his son-in-law’s plans for resort properties there. Trump being a real estate developer at heart senses yuge potential if Israel is about to go tits up. It is logical yet bizarre (or bazaar).
Right. The dood is a developer and salesman of upscale to lavish properties. So that’s his vision of the Strip shoreline, that’s his solution. Build huge effing hotels for the monied.
It’s either that, or turn Gaza into a giant gameshow, with Chuck Woolery reincarnated roaming the Strip with contestants, to determine which fortunate wins a country for residence.
Ah, the humanity! It’d sell like opium hotcakes. Trumpster and Big Barron co-ordinate action from the Blue Room and make surprise appearances.
I’m beginning to believe that this world is fooking mental. More correctly, *still* beginning to believe it. *The beginning started about 25 years ago.
If this world were merely mental, managing it would be simpler.
Yeah, well I wanna see Chuck Barris barge in and bang the gong on that one.
and Mad Monty Hall, tempting festively-attired housewives with secret doors and boxes. Lovely.
Gaza is effectively an Indian Reservation carved out for Palestinians. They aren’t going away so that Jared can build a new resort.
Right. The question is why this was floated given that reality.
My first thought when I heard about it was, “Only two weeks in, we see what the deal was that Trump accepted to get out from under the long arm of the law and reattain the presidency.” And that’s possible. But there are still a couple of other possibilities too (he’s just making a deal, yadda yadda). But I can tell you this: Ben Shapiro LOVES it
Well, if Benny the Runt is for it, I’m agin’ it.
However, there’s nothing to keep them in Gaza *except* a lack of places to go to. Gaza is basically destroyed and now uninhabitable, which seems to have been the Israeli plan all along. What seems to have eluded the Israelis is that the Palestinians have warn out their “welcome” in every country they’ve fled to. Hence they have no where to go from Gaza. Trump will have to figure this one out.
Make it #3! Since they were pushed out of their original homeland by the Balfour Declaration. There was no troublemaking Palestinian population until the “make it #110” folks came along with their much higher score.
they can go to africa.
A great idea! They can replace the missing Rhodesians.
Well, not quite, but they’ll fit in to African culture.
North Africa has been Muslim for 1000 years, the East is where Islamic slave ships docked.
And neither Jared nor Trump has the trillions it would take to turn Gaza into Vegas with a beachfront….
They don’t need or probably even want to run the whole thing. I’m sure that, just like Atlantic City and Vegas, they would be perfectly fine with other developers getting a piece of the action.
Regardless, it seems silly to allow a group that’s rightfully hated more than jews to have land that would be much more useful in a more civilized world. If Shitcongo were to start slamming missiles into Indiana, I sure as heck would want the B-52s to prove that LeMay was a piker. They shouldn’t have that great lakeshore area if they can’t be civil.
The majority in Jordan- the original Mandate state- still live in tents. The Gazans are so oppressed they’ve increased their population several times over.
This is not one, but two nefarious governments at work.
Hamas was created to wind the Palis up and give Israel plausible cause- otherwise Israeli jets would’ve been strafing those giant Hamas street demonstrations. Iran, being occupied, is run by mullahs who feel about Israel like the neocons feel about Russia. The Shia rulers probably think their proxies will win the hearts of the Sunni; if they destroy Israel, they win the keys to the Kaaba.
Oh, come on, man! Have a heart, will you? After all, Ivanka’s husband has to have SOMETHING to occupy his time. And turning Gaza into Atlantic City East seems just the thing!
Just think how cool this would sound in Hebrew:

Never heard “the 8th decade” before. Interesting.
Reminiscent of the saying “from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in 3 generations.”
same for the CCCP
The 4th turning cycle is 80 years. Or so. Not that I necessarily subscribe to it.
If this turning is some ancient Chinese secret, then the CCP has to be sweating bullets. Their 80th anniversary comes up in 2029. Maybe we should be sweating bullets too, if Xi and his gang believe in “the turning”.
Well, the Republic of the United States lasted only 72 years, and no one even gave it a memorial service except myself and a few cranks. The cranks society makes no prediction over the future of China.
The Chinese think in dynastic terms. Once well-established and bedded down, dynasties tend to last Glubb’s ~250 years or so. Very often when a dynasty falls, the process is very traumatic and involves incredible loss of life and decades or even centuries of warlordism before a new one arises. The relatively quick (several decades) Ming collapse and Qing takeover was almost too peaceful. I guess only several tens of millions died that time. The long Qing collapse and warlordism and civil war and initial communist bloodletting took a good century of bloodbath to get to the present tolerably good situation… Read more »
Ya gotta take it with a grain of salt. Technically the first kingdom started something like 40 years earlier under Saul. And there’s nothing I know of to start the clock ticking around 10 BC that makes the 70 AD fall of Jerusalem a data point. By 10 BC, the Romans had already owned the place for half a century, and the Pharisees got going a century before that.
But most ideas coming from jewish minds seem to have an extremely short sell-by date.
Perhaps in general. But there will be exceptions, Like Saul of Tarsus’s idea.
This 80 years stuff strikes me as numerology, not history.
Trump is prone to megalomaniac statements but he’s also a master of gamesmanship. Does he sincerely want to see Miami Beach II on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean? Certainly there are plenty of (((Western))) business interest that would love to do so, especially if Uncle Sam will pick up the tab to maintain property values and relative peace in that area. But consider on the other hand that even such a proposal outs these vested interests. And, perhaps, it will make Normie ask why is the US so involved in a place like Gaza?
Pre-civil war Lebanon was spectacular, I understand, and likely dampens the prospect of a burka-clad North Beach.
What is going on with USAID is a perfect example of the ratchet effect working. Instead of shutting it down, it should be repurposed into a right wing slush fund. Fire all the staff, replace them with right wingers. Punish the enemy is only 1/2 the formula. Reward your friends is the other half.
This is what Republicans did with the Dem-created House Un-American Activitees Committee.
Handing power to a minority ethnic group is also the first step in colony building. Usually, Europeans found some halfway decent ethnic minority to help build the colony.
It’s not a new observation that once decolonization wiped away the empires, the cloud people started importing them or found weird minorities among us. Like Blacks in the South.
Empire always washes back, it’s why nations should stick to creating living space.
George Friedman, a propaganda tool of Rand Corp posing as a futurist, essentially said that creating instability everywhere is the very purpose of the American empire. I was able to stomach a couple of minutes of the presser with Trump and Ghoulman. First, I want Our flag centered always. It isn’t a peer of any other nation on our soil. We spend the blood and the treasure. I digress. Watching Ghoulman smug and smiling as Trump announced the ethnic cleansing of Gaza was sickening. Now America is sponsoring the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and handing that resort land to Israel.… Read more »
Oh no. That’s the secret to our Masters. The key to our conditioning.
They make us complicit, and then ascribe any fault to us.
One could see it especially post WWII.
Our emotional sunk cost was so great in the brother war, that we subscribed to it completely rather than face the gravity of what we had been led to do. We identified with our conquerors.
It is Brother but most everyone on our side is either to comfortable or placing all their hope and faith in Trump turning the ship around when all he is doing is playing good music while the ship is sinking…
Well, the ultimate minority visited the White House yesterday and gave Trump his marching orders.
Also note that the trip wire for war with Iran was announced. Would not be difficult for the usual suspects to stage that, complete with conveniently dropped Iranian passports.
Wars have a way of strengthening the executive. The bigger, the better. Bibi is doing this right this moment.
If a major war, even as a “last hurrah”, was the only way Trump/Vance can keep steamrolling through Washington and create an unstoppable right wing dominance of power for the next 80 years (like FDR), would it be worth the price?
Hell of a gamble. Just a random thought.
In a perverted sense, if Trump caving to bibi’s demands for greater israel is the price for unleashing Trump to break the stranglehold on domestic policy, then war over there is for our freedom over here.
But I fear we will get war over there without our freedom here.
At a minimum, we’ll get Pre-crime in the US.
Worst case these idiots will actually manage to bring something like Colossus or Skynet online.
These projects will be funded by anything that doesn’t get allocated to Elon’s Mars project.
The worst case is worse than that, and it’s the most likely one—the one they’ve already almost implemented: They’ll give the job of Skynet to a congenitally retarded chatbot that’s competent at nothing but flattering its master. H1-B analogy goes here. Thousands, most of them entirely innocent of dissidence, have had their livelihoods yanked away by “AI” given deplatforming power at YouTube, X, Stripe, Cloudflare, etc.—even PornHub, whose parent company bot-deleted and banned almost 100% of its accounts to prevent future Hunter Biden incidents.

Yes, Israel and NATO Turkey are in an alliance, a replay of the banker-backed alliance with the Young Turks that led the the Armenian Genocide and the seizure of Greek lands towards the last gasp of the Ottoman Empire in 1924. Syria’s dense blanket of Russian air defenses was wiped out the week after HTS proxies caused Assad to flee; aerial fueling tankers can now give Israeli jets the reach they need to hit Iran and return. Israel plans to replace Iran as the southern Silk Road gateway and owner of the Gaza terminus of the Ben Gurion Canal competing… Read more »

here is a wild card. as the western world transitions to nuclear power as the dominant energy source, the ME stops being important (due to demand for hydrocarbons dropping off a cliff). only the suez canal and red sea are strategically valuable at that point.
for point of reference, one pound of uranium has as much energy as 2M pounds of oil. it’s all about energy density; we have been climbing the energy density ladder since mastering fire.
In space it is already a mobile/propulsive energy source. It will be quite some time before we use it for propulsion on earth. That said, synthetic methane is being put to interesting use. Check out the bad-assery happening at Astro Mechanica. We are not ditching fossil fuels any time soon. The significance of nuclear will be our ability to power our redoubts with it and become increasingly less reliant on centralized power generation. Check out the developments at Radiant. Macro politics are far less important to us than developments in energy, as you point out. Small scale nuclear power generation… Read more »

The story of 20th century domestic politics in the United States is one of discord and friction over race, region, and religion. Over and over one group is pitted against another preventing a majority forming up against the ruling class. Conservatism, for example, evolved so it could prevent a white majority forming up against the social policies preferred by the ruling elite. The many progressive causes were promoted to keep the coalition of fringes under control. hmmm. Wonder what group ensures that? Can’t quite put my finger on who would do that? Every single time I just can’t quite figure… Read more »

I’ve always wondered how a minority managerial regime maintained such a hold on the narrative, the Overton window if you wish. It’s becoming apparent that the simple answer is, they bought it with government money.
As always, the simplest answer is that their interests and the managerial state’s interests coincide, or at least overlap.
The “reporters” didn’t really have to be controlled, they were willing and usually eager volunteers, but nobody else would have paid them for what they were doing
No Monday morning quarterback ever won a game. Europe is in shambles because most of its testosterone died out in the two mega wars of the 20th Century. Ditto in the Middle East. You’ll know the testosterone has reemerged when skulls are getting cracked open again. That is how our ancestors advanced and it will always be thus. We still have it in us. Take a pumpkin and baseball bat into the woods sometime, and you will feel the spark of your ancient DNA.
People keep saying this but I suspect that De-Nazification and similar ideological initiatives are the real culprits.
Germany, the key state of Europe, was brainwashed American style more thoroughly than I thought possibe in the American occpation and afterward. And why not? I grew up in the same wash and it owned me most of my life.
Both.

All societies are ruled by an elite, whatever they call their system. In liberal democracies, elitism is practiced but officially frowned upon. Pre-liberal societies were explicitly elitist. What is peculiar about liberal societies is the blatant hatred of the elite for the rest of society. This is particularly evident in the USA, with its wealthy and powerful Jewish elite, who are the traditional enemies of the Christian societies they dwell among. Pre-liberal elites would not have dreamed of demoralizing their populations or admitting huge numbers of hostile foreigners into their countries, both of which are routine in liberal societies. In… Read more »
Mostly agree. My only addition would be to State what should be obvious yet it often goes unsaid, that money or greed is often a prime motivator. Note that I’m by no means saying that it’s the only motivator but I would argue it it probably often is especially in the world of politics. Let’s face it, 99% of what USAID wanted to happen would never have happened unless a lot of money changed hands. I wish Musk and his boys, and they are very young, the greatest success in coming through the Treasury’s database. I’m sure some most interesting… Read more »

I know it will be a tremendously unpopular viewpoint, but Dissidents are woefully unaware that hindsight is always 20/20. The reason America became embroiled in other nation’s affairs and policing them arose from the experience of WW2. Churchill and any number of other voices (called German-O-phobes at the time) – were screaming bloody murder about the rise and growing threat on Nazi Germany. But Chamberlain and pretty much everyone else shouted them down, preferring to try and appease Hitler or turn a blind eye to his growing power and influence. And as they dithered and endlessly talked, the nation became… Read more »
I was well aware that it’s always 1938 in the GAE, but I didn’t expect to see that same sentiment here from a longtime poster
A survey of surviving British WWII veterans from some years ago found that most of the respondents believed, in hindsight, that the war was not worth the effort, with many stating that they would have refused to fight, given their present knowledge, or would even have rather fought for Germany rather than Britain.
The Germans literally were planning on killing tens of millions of Europeans including the British.
The Italian fascists,allies of the Germans, were nervous about their fate in the event of a German victory.
The Germans were not white nationalists, they were German nationalists who despised other whites.
Did you learn that in Hebrew school, or at the Forward?
Adolf had a soft spot for the British, among others He admired their accomplishments. This is no secret.
Absolute rubbish and you know it.
United Prussia would’ve been no larger than Austro-Hungary, and Austro-Hungary kept things together for a long time.
I’m angry because you’re spitting on your own and expecting an A+ from teacher.
You’re right . . . it is a tremendously unpopular viewpoint because it is tremendously incorrect. Nazi Germany’s goal was to restrain communism, against which the “All Lies” united to make the world safe for communism. Ironic that, after joining forces to defeat the foe of communism, the US suddenly decided that communism was threat.
Spot on, c matt, National Socialism is to defend the nation, International Socialism is to attack and undermine it.
To say that the Ostplan was like death camps for Catholics is like claiming the Tommys want to exterminate the Frogs. Muttering and shaking your fist while glaring across the Channel is not zyklon showers.
The Nazis knew darn well what hard-headed bast*ards the Slavs and Poles could be, and didn’t woo them with chocolates, but they didn’t use torture and degredation like the Ethnic Kommisars did.
“I believe [Saddam’s Iraqi] regime would have unleashed a large scale war that would have cost inconceivably more death and misery.”
*Looks at map.* So? None of my business.
Saddam tried for 8 years against Iran with our help, and it didn’t make him stronger.
Churchill, FDR, et al, were all pawns of the money power. Any threat to that ( mustache man, e.g. ) means total destruction. Honest Abe got the bullet for thinking about it, even after he took over the South for them.
Thank you for the insight, Mr. Neocon.

Did it? It ended up with the Frankfurt School people and the perpetual victims becoming untouchable and firmly in charge.
Undoubtedly, we ended up as their janissary to spread Democracy and Barbies around the world. The USSR ended up as their janissary to spread Communism.
I think Filthie’s instincts are telling him that if a You-Know-Who arises, is will be firmly from the Left. After all, they have Castro Lite up north.
I am impressed that you recovered your fumble in that scrum. It usually takes me a week to figure out I might have not been entirely spot on. It took me years, not weeks, to accept that the sociopathic Jewish power elite won the war. Germany could not be allowed end Bolshevism in the Soviet stronghold, which was likely in their plans. Churchill made a brilliant statement on Jewish power and its seditious nature right about 1920. After his financial ruin in 1929 Jews, with great prescience (give credit), kept him afloat.
