Rather like a loyal friend trying to convince a drunk that it is foolish to pick a fight with an 800 pound gorilla, the Trump administration has tried to save Europe from itself, to tell a friend drunk on delusions that it is time to sober up and that the big hairy guy was not 'looking at you a bit funny,like', that's jut the way gorillas look. Government by Virtue - signalling is in a way like being extremely drunk. The short-term high of progressive virtue comes with a long-term hangover of economic ruin, international irrelevance, and total societal collapse. Nowhere is this more abundantly evident than in the welcoming of, and indulgent patronage fading into submissive terror towards, third world Muslim populations who refuse to integrate with Western culture and values.
In the past few weeks, since Trump's Venezuela coup removed Marxist dictator Nicolas Maduro from power, we have been told innumerable times by the more idiotically leftist European and British political pundits that US PresidentDonald Trump and his administration have betrayed ‘international law', the rules based global order’,‘the democratic norms’, NATO, and we are told that they have betrayed their European partners. This outraged screeching has reached a crescendo over the attack on Iran and its theocratic regime which only shows how little leaders of the 'woke' world understand about the threat of Islamic extremism and the uselessness of international law, which is in fact little more than a vehicle to carry us to global authoritarianism.
The first of these ignores the fact that the international rules-based system is a vague set of guidelines and suggestions that has never been formally codified let alone ratified by the world's leading nations, is often ignored by nations outside the cosy coven of Western liberal democracy and of course is meaningless to Communist or Islamic countries, whether the Soviet Union of the past or the China of the present. Even arch-globalist and Donald Trump hater Mark Carney, the banker selected to carry the Canadian-cultural-Marxism torch dropped by Justin Trudeau, admitted that the so - called ‘rules-based system’ that he and other bureaucratic-minded apparatchiks of the globalist way so love has always been riddled with hypocrisies. In fact 'International Law
In an anti-Trump speech delivered at the last Davos World Economic Forum gathering, Carney said: ‘For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order. We joined its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that, we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection.
‘We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.
‘This fiction was useful, and American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.>/p?
‘So, we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals, and we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.’
Carney’s rare act of ‘honesty’ in politics is remarkable for its sleight of hand. He acknowledged that ‘international law’ and the ‘rules-based system’ was a lie, a fiction, all along, backed solely by American power and European convenience. Yet think about how deeply contemptuous you have to be towards actual democracy to say this (we were always lying to you, you know), about being able to say that the rules-based system is a total fiction
Only a fool would suppose that because democracy, say, produces bad governments it must by its nature produce bad government per se; and therefore it's no different to dictatorship. Democracy is much different to dictatorship. Bad governments can be voted out.
So it is with the rules-based order. Yes, it has been much abused, and even hypocritically praised by the abusers. But the only alternative is the force-based order: the arbitrary application of power.
That which is justified by nothing and constrained by less sucks all morality out of both the domestic and international contexts. Democracy? Welcome to the world of Vladimir the Great, elected last time round with a mere 88% of the vote. Just extend the lines to find the natural terminus ... a future of pure power politics, the near-term dominion of China, Russia in the east of Europe, and the collaboration of these to to create a new international order based on their rules.
Human freedom gone, the capacity for peoples to express their own will gone, a life of peace and security under principled constraints on the state gone, a broadly cooperative world system all gone.
This is what force, as the standard for national and international comport, leads us to. It is not a better world.There are two and a half realities depending on what you know to be true.
Those in charge know the full reality, many of them even understand the goals of that reality. [great reset]
They in turn, feed a false reality to their brainwashed voters, paid supporters and protesters. [TDS]
Those with common sense, who have questioned everything their entire lives, have a much finer understanding of reality and see things as they are.
-In the US, that means generational, intentional and ridiculous decisions, made by members of Congress $ sponsored by the rich, are responsible, along with the Pres, the UN controlled State Department and other cabinet heads, for the poor state of the nation, including the percent of foreign-born resident, % of the poor, % the uber rich, and of course, 100% annihilation of every God given liberty during Covid. These are the people that knew better than to take a single jab.
In the United Kingdom same as in the US, your officials march to a different drum, lulled you along for generations, taking care of your every need, while making you totally dependent. At least in Europe and the USA we still have some rights, but now know how quickly they can disappear under certain political parties.

Another Obama Sponsored Genocide - not Alawi or Christians In Syria but Yazidi in Iraq.While the west has been distracted by events in Gaza and Ukraine, and the neo - fascist 'left' have suddenly discovered the joys of anti Russianism and anti Semitism, the FUKUS axis sponsored genocidists of ISIS have discovered another inoffensive minority to exterminate now that the Syriac Christians have fled.
More Than ISIS, Iraq’s Sunni Insurgency
The story emerging in Iraq is of another American foreign policy fuck up, a total misreading of the situation by the world's most parochial global power. By December 2013, Sunni leaders had become tired of the jihadi group the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) actions in their areas and publicly supported the Iraq government’s military campaign against the group’s bases. Unfortunately the ISIS rebels were armed with US military technology and Obama was calling for the resignation of the government in Baghdad, prompting Russia and Iran to support them ...

Sometimes I despair for the future of society in all the developed nations — years of indoctrination with left wing ideology in education have taken their toll on our civilisation leaving us with a substantial proportion of the population able to recognise the names of words with words but confused about the meanings and concepts these words, individually or when strung together, are expressing.
If this is party of the long term plan to disrupt society, divide communities and demographic groups and render 'We The People' incapable of resisting the imposition of an authoritarian world government by the business, academic and financial elites then it seems to be working perfectly. Meaning of words are changed, some words are fobidden, the right of free speech is under threat, and arguments about irrelevancies such as gay rights or the right to choose what gender we are, regardless of biology (the modern equivalent of “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin”) obsess the media and political debate while democracy, human rights, individual liberty and both national and personal sovereignty are under incessant attack by idealogues who think they are left wing but in reality are to the right of Roman Emperor Caligula. The Great Reset sweeps all before it as it cruises to ultimate victory.
At least that’s how its supposed to go. Fukuyama’s “The End Of History” was the road map and all we had to do was follow it towards the bright Utopia that was the promise of the future. In reality what happened is that everyone ignored what the Marxists call “contradictions”, essentially the disconnect between ideology and reality, because they were making so much money and instead of dealing with the problem they just papered over the cracks with propaganda (and applied a bit of force here and there where people stubbornly refused to drink the KoolAid). Eventually the contradictions became so glaring that people became unsettled — reality just wasn’t matching expectation. The ordinary people were getting poorer and poorer and their freedoms were being eroded, while the rich got richer and richer, and as always did whatever they wanted to. And the people, the masses (horrible Marxist term but it shows what anelitist gobshite Karl Marx really was,) wanted to know why.
A lifetime of propaganda had drilled into far too many people the “Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad” ideology of the left that George Orwell satirised in his novella Animal Farm by portraying the leftist elite as pigs, so they couldn’t reach for a political solution.
This was by the plan of course, since we were all told repeatedly in Britain “There Is No Alternative” and there was repeated and concerted attacks on anyone who had the temerity to question the system. So peoples’ frustration and anger were turned inwards, society splintering into competing groups, all arguing about who had the most access to the crumbs falling from the table. Along with this was the rise of outlandish conspiracy theories, explanations that provided patterns heuristically to explain how ‘they’ were doing it to ‘us’. But all the while the system ground on with by now no effective opposition — There Is No Alternative.
The good news is that we in the West might be completely out of our collective trees on our KoolAid but we’re not the world. Think about it — why do we invent enemies out of societies that don’t threaten us? Why do we threaten them? Because they’re challenging our “Rules Based Order” — our hegemony is under threat, and they’re also proving that there are alternatives out there.
