“America” is not the Holy Roman Empire of the 21st Century. America is gone and the US is dying. Take out “Holy” – as there’s little Holy about the US – and the US is the Western Roman Empire in late-stage collapse.

The Holy Roman Empire was finally dissolved when Napoleon, commanding the first modern national army, steamrolled the coalition opposing him at the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805. About half the empire’s territory was folded into a brief “Confederation of the Rhine” French puppet state, and Francis II, the last emperor, abdicated the throne. In western Germany, Napoleon swept away all the feudal cruft and replaced it with his famous legal code, which heavily influenced the subsequent German legal foundation.

That certainly won’t be the fate of America, and of course this analogy is far from perfect in every respect. But the broader lesson is that political systems require maintenance and regular updating to stay on top of the developments of history. A great many holes in America’s national fabric have been left un-patched over the decades. An ever-more extreme conservative party is now exploiting those holes to try to permanently conquer the American republic. They might well succeed.

It’s a hard read to follow – far from perfect, yes – but almost worth it. You see, the Electoral College and gerrymandering did in the HRE. “America” is just the same, but of course, won’t suffer the same fate. A republic…

Only a Political Theory

And not really a competent one at that. So much I noted this weekend in my impromptu discourse on the failure of libertarianism. Today, someone else almost agrees with my differentiation between the political and the cultural:

Libertarianism is not and does not pretend to be a complete moral, or aesthetic theory; it is only a political theory, that is, the important subset of moral theory that deals with the proper role of violence in social life.

The people in the LP have some almost (non) religious hangup about nonviolence. Their long list of anti-principles is great as to and between civilized people living harmoniously. However, that’s not the history of the world and especially not the current state of the dying US. A political theory that takes no stand, stands no chance.

Libertarianism, along with modern titular liberalism and conservatism, is an offshoot of the Enlightenment, a grand attempt to outwit God or to fool the people into believing that such a feat is possible – even good. All of it is now openly laid bare as a failure. As Karl Denninger noted on Friday, the age of reason is over. It has been for a long time.

We live in an age of witchcraft, driven by technology.

The age of reason has failed and we stand on the edge of a new Dark Age.

Read the whole thing. It’s most apropos that he frames the narrative in terms of the Hoax of 2020, which I’ve been all over from the start. Does anything that’s happening this year strike you as remotely reasonable? “Reason” isn’t because it has been delinked from the truth. The talk of a dark age is disconcerting but accurate: I’ve been making mention of the same for years, here for example in 2017.

Call the age what you will, fun times are here – with more on the way.

The Decline and Fall of the Libertarian Party

I decided to make time to expound upon yesterday’s post. And, WP reminded me that, back in 2016, I made what was possibly my last exploration of the national LP alternative – a long shot then which, beyond the pondering, I had nothing to do with. And, back then, a friend, whom I’ll label as a neocon(?) pointed out that the LP’s platform was at best a pleasant fantasy. He was right.

Again, it was Charles Burris’s article at LRC that got me thinking about all of this.

The possible future viability of the LP ended in 1988. It blew it for both objective and subjective reasons. Objectively because of many missed opportunities related to the end of the Cold War and dynamic changes in American political culture during the Bush-Clinton-Bush years were ignored; and subjectively due to internal LP organizational disputes, poor leadership and the widespread delusion of selecting former GOP “libertarian sounding” congressmen or governors as presidential candidates would be the mainstreaming expedient to fast track electoral success.

But first, the almost-accurate joke version of what did the LP in – marijuana. Regardless of their other stated positions, the one thing almost all (L)ibertarians were (and are) after is the high of THC. Glassy-eyed, they speak of taxes, non-aggression, foreign policy, etc, and then always return to legalizing weed. Excuse me! Decriminalizing it. Big difference. I don’t know if they’ve been sober this century, but, the non-enforcing feds and just a couple of holdout states aside, pot is practically legal from coast-to-coast. Mission accomplished, guys! Great job. What else do you have? That’s right, nothing.

This, and a few other things, is what killed the Free State Project in NH. That’s where a libertarian, trans-whatever, satanic priest(est??) just got him/her/itself on the ballot as a Republican’t for Sheriff in Keene. Congratulations, again, pot-heads: you opened the gate, and the crazies and half of Massachusetts moved in. Good job!

Seriously, now: Burris is almost right about the causes. In fact, he is right tactically and in part strategically. However, he missed the logistical point. Like most LP national candidates, Hon. Ron Paul had no chance with only 46 states allowing him on the ballots and a 0.5% total vote tally. Even if he had won and became our 41st President – and wouldn’t that have been better than what we got??? – it most likely would not have made a difference. That is because RP (as great as he is) and the entire libertarian “philosophy” was wrong for the country, then and now.

We’ve been under attack as a people and a nation for, take your pick: 50 years, 100 years, 150 years, or longer. By 1988, the damage was done and it was time for emergency restorative action. This had very little to do with practical politics, economics, or smoking dope, which is what you-know-who almost exclusively focuses on. Excepting the green leaf, I made the same mistake for years.

But, the real issues, critical in 1988, and terminal now, are and were purely cultural and spiritual. There was no political fix, though back then, the right fix would have helped, given the honest people a chance to recover. And “right” means a return to Western nationalism, not libertarianism. The LP never even offered a glimpse of a realistic alternative.

What could have worked? Christianity, first and foremost. (I hear the calls that one cannot legislate morality. True, but one can legislate against immorality). The mass expulsion of non-Westerners would have gone a long way – including, and especially, those who gave us so much cultural degeneracy and usury. Terminating, by any means necessary, the debt-based economy. Retaking the besieged institutions and expelling the walking siege engines. If this sounds a little like a revolution, then it should be obvious that, even as they quote the rhetoric of the bold men of the 1776 original, the party with an oath against action was never the party for the job.

Neither, certainly, was the GOPDNC uni-party. Perhaps Carlin was correct when he said, “this is the best we can do…” The LP had no real answers. A pseudo-philosophy that only appeals to certain members of the dwindling Posterity was doomed from the start. If the demographics had adhered to those of the holiest and most-revered Constitution, the Declaration, and the laws, circa 1790, then said philosophy could have formed a potential basis for guidance (in my mind, so long as it was subordinated to a pursuit of Natural law in the exclusively Christian sense). But that, none of it, happened.

I imagine that I have at least a few ever-optimistic, possibly high, libertarian-leaning friends who would still say that the argument could be made that libertarianism is still the future savior of what’s left of the US. I’m not trying to be mean, but go to any preschool or a psych ward and one will hear all kinds of arguments being made.

If you’re a libertarian, with an “L” large or small, then know that, as with most people, what’s happened isn’t your fault – at least the majority of it. Should you want to do your part to salvage something out of the collapsing ruins, then: 1) cease and desist with the MJ!, and: 2) bend a knee to Christ and then rise, hard right.

The Third Party That Wasn’t

Charles Burris wrote an interesting piece at LRC, Why The Libertarian Party Failed. He’s certainly (mostly) correct about what he covers. I see more, and I may go further with this tomorrow or next week. This paragraph says much:

The possible future viability of the LP ended in 1988. It blew it for both objective and subjective reasons. Objectively because of many missed opportunities related to the end of the Cold War and dynamic changes in American political culture during the Bush-Clinton-Bush years were ignored; and subjectively due to internal LP organizational disputes, poor leadership and the widespread delusion of selecting former GOP “libertarian sounding” congressmen or governors as presidential candidates would be the mainstreaming expedient to fast track electoral success.

Can you guess why a 1988 LP victory would not have mattered or helped? Hint: contrary to all the decent, noble-sounding Enlightenment rhetorical talking points of the LP and libertarianism in general, the greater problem was not and is not the economy nor practical politics. Again, I might explore this further. Have fun reading regardless.

“Ideology and Diversity tempered by Corruption”

That’s the American university. That quote, from Ron Unz, appeared in this Larry Romanoff article from last November that I must have overlooked.

The quality of American education, as we will see, is far lower than the world has been led to believe, and the quality in China is in many cases much superior to that in the US. Americans might care to ask why it is that Chinese elementary or high school students moving to the US are often promoted by one or two grades. The reason is that they know so much more than their American counterparts they would suffer terminal boredom if forced to remain at their prior grade level. If we refer to the PISA tests, Shanghai’s math scores were 119 above the OECD average, or the equivalent of nearly three years of schooling, with reading and science exceeding the OECD average by about 1.5 years of schooling. And in some cases, the American students were behind the OECD average by approximately the same number of years as the Chinese were ahead.

In the reading, I had a few minor quibbles about something. I gave those up, finding in general, exactly what I’ve been seeing and commenting on for years. It’s a great primer on higher “education” in the exceptional land of the free. I found it in this Romanoff article, today, about all things “exceptional” in the USofA.

I’m sure all this will impove after the election!

Well, this story is in keeping with the earlier post about my new book. And, like the sad Mass schools article from the other day, it has many, if not all, of the interesting components.

As the pandemic has ravaged the United States, some Americans are finding that a second citizenship or permanent residency has a renewed appeal. “Even the most basic things have become politicized,” said Anjelica Triola, 34, a director of marketing at Wethos, a company that helps freelancers grow their businesses, who also has Italian heritage.

She brought up protective masks as an example. “My father’s parents came here to be free, and there is an entire generation that are trying to go back now to pursue similar freedoms,” she said.

Paperwork Americans;

First and second generations migrants that never assimilated;

Dual (paper) loyalties;

Single mothers;

Admission that the “Land of the Free” no longer is;

Boomers(!); and more!

We ran here for the good times and helped wreck this nation. Now that the fun is over and the fires are burning, it’s time to go (back to the real) home! And, these paperwork jobs are or were marginal Americans, not quite Anglo, but close enough, right? They’re far from the worst dual-nationals too. Here’s hoping that they find peace and nationalism in their true nations. Americans used to enjoy something like that, you know, here in America. Crazy, yes.

Get Out! kids, if you’re thinking about moving, remember the criticalities of compatibility. If you go, go to stay and stay to integrate. You’ll never be [fill in the blank nationality] unless it’s already literally in your blood. But your grandkids might. I keep writing “kids, kids, kids” for a reason! No Boomers, please. Gen X, we’re on the line and I’m leaning towards a “no.”

Amerika in tatters?! These be some harsh words!

In a dark season of pestilence, COVID has reduced to tatters the illusion of American exceptionalism. At the height of the crisis, with more than 2,000 dying each day, Americans found themselves members of a failed state, ruled by a dysfunctional and incompetent government largely responsible for death rates that added a tragic coda to America’s claim to supremacy in the world.

The author goes on and into details about other failed states and empires. He might be correct about all of that, but, as we have been so reliably informed so many times, Amerika really is different. Just check the Founding poem on our big girl statue! (Hey, I wonder how many communists Lady L will crush when they finally pull her down??????)

Amerika is, and always has been, just an idea, a simple, incoherent, misleading creed. If there’s any minor problem with it at present, then all we have to do is get out an eraser and change a few words or something. Nations, after all, are just words and vague ideas, and not borders, blood, and people.

Pandemics are like economic issues: all they require are more immigrants, who were really always the best Amerikans anyway.

The Remains of AMERICA

*Well, this is the final installment in the soon-to-be-published GET OUT! Unlike the other, happier segments, about young people and Europe, this one is about the end of America and the dissolution of the United States. I honestly ran out of steam and make no apologies for the lack of details. We’ll come up with those another day. 

The Remains of AMERICA

Hello, friends, and welcome to part ten – whatever becomes of the United States and America. I did separate the US and A, there. Outbound kids, please read the following even though it (hopefully) will not apply to you. And, this was a little hard to write. Kindly review the options if you need to:

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

PART V: Romania (and Moldova)

PART VI: Austria, Slovenia, Croatia (with Czechia)

PART VII: Estonia and the Baltics

PART VIII: Ukraine, Russia, and More

PART IX: Euro Micros (and Others)

First, because it’s Poland, another hopeful glimpse of the future of the West, courtesy of Vdare and James Kirkpatrick. The cementing of hard-right Chrisitan Nationalism in Polska really is a “white pill.” Not long ago, I looked into the satanic opposition’s despair over the recent, happy election. Kirkpatrick piles on with what it means for the good and the decent. Many thanks to the reader who reminded me of the story. White pills – and that means the Christ or Logos-centered truth in red pill-blue pill speak – is important, especially concerning the following installment.

For those who remain in that odd nation-shaped kind of place between Canada and Mexico… Wow, yes, things are dark and they will assuredly get much darker. Yet and still, there is a kind light shining ahead, perhaps way far ahead. In the end, for some at least, things will improve. It’s the getting there that will be most painful.

“America” was a distinct nation, composed of distinct People. That’s gone now, undone by decades of retreat, submission, and sabotage. Without a coherent nation, all we’ve been left with is the shell of a state, a loosely-cobbled country held together by threats and violence from the Potomac. I’ve long called a final trifecta to end the United States. The sequence I envisioned was: economic collapse, foreign war and defeat, and massive country-shattering civil war. 

An economic depression is in progress now. I did not foresee a hoax pandemic as a cover though that only matters as it underscores how stupid and gullible the people have become. It will get worse as the various political and central banking tricks increasingly exhaust themselves. 

In many ways, the foreign war is already in progress as well. We’re still bogged down in countless idiotic and unwinnable adventures in various theaters. Iran (and others) have, lately, demonstrated that Washington’s imperial dominance has ended. But, what I think is still coming, and what the neocons seemed bound and hellishly determined to deliver, is a crushing outright defeat by another power. The failed empire cannot beat small, unorganized tribes in the hills. It stands no chance against nuclear-armed and strategically-capable nations like China and Russia (and a few others). But, we are daily, hourly pushed towards some conflict that the lunatics know cannot be won. They will get it and it will end very, very badly for the US.

The good news is that I think that conflict will be over almost as soon as it starts. Then, once the world knows the paper tiger is impotent, the real trouble at home will break wide open. The same war games and models that say the US cannot win a war with Russia or China also say the empire cannot overcome a determined (patriotic) foe at home. They know all of this but they blunder forward regardless, being both stupid and evil. They don’t care.

I have heard it argued most convincingly that a civil war is already underway in the remains of America. Right now, it resembles nightly rioting and general unrest. Before this decade is out, look for it to escalate. Dramatically. So far, the traditional remnant of the American Posterity has not engaged their assorted enemies. They will. Unlike the civil conflict of the 1860s, this one will feature more than two sides.

An admission: Here, I have just about run out of steam for this series, ESPECIALLY as to this part. It’s a little depressing and it involves rank uncertainty which makes it hard to write about. What was (is) the territory of the United States will, at some point, and probably sooner than later, undergo balkanization. How many new states will we be left with? No one knows. It could be two, ten, or fifty. Knowing the ‘Murican way, we can safely count on achieving this inevitability through large-scale violence, perhaps on a scale rarely seen in history. 

Unlike the unpleasantness of the 1860s, this war will involve many factions fighting on different fronts. If one needs a summary like “North v. South,” then it will be Christians v. Satanists. They’d like to put a race-war spin on it, with Whites (and allies) against everyone else; that’s not exactly how it is, but that may be a representation of how it looks (judging by current events, for instance).

Later – I have the time – I’ll try harder to think out in more clear fashion how this might look, and what to do about it. Eventually, a new America will arise somewhere between Canada and Mexico. Geopolitical life won’t be the same, but it might end up better – after many trials. We, or our descendants, can look forward to peace and prosperity someday. For now, prepare for the worst. Right now, it’s not quite as bad as you think; later, it will probably be worse than you can imagine. In general, lay low and try to avoid attention. GET OUT OF THE CITIES! Never lose Faith and never give in or up. 

This started as a look at central and eastern Europe. This final bit was a reluctant bonus and I’m going to cut it short now. This thing is starting to accelerate, so you may know the trends as soon as I do. However, if at all possible, I’ll amend this ending with more concise details in the future. Thanks for reading. Now, get to work. Kids, get moving, and remember the postcards.

Spiritual Graft

The same Catholic Church that closed the doors on the Faithful and spoke of “Spiritual Communion” also claimed $1.4 Billion in hoax-out funds – much of it to pay for the sodomy hobbies of the fake priests.

The U.S. Roman Catholic Church used a special and unprecedented exemption from federal rules to amass at least $1.4 billion in taxpayer-backed coronavirus aid, with many millions going to dioceses that have paid huge settlements or sought bankruptcy protection because of clergy sexual abuse cover-ups.

The church’s haul may have reached — or even exceeded — $3.5 billion, making a global religious institution with more than a billion followers among the biggest winners in the U.S. government’s pandemic relief efforts, an Associated Press analysis of federal data released this week found.

1.4. 3.5. With hoax accounting, who nows? This actually fits rather well with my rebuttal idea of spiritual tithing. No word, as of yet, from Pope Benedict.
