Immigration, climate change, globalization…Like poisonous snakes, the various themes, in macro and micro, foreign and domestic, continue to intertwine, weaving themselves into a hangman’s rope, with the only question being whose neck is the noose to be fitted? I don’t know the outcome, but I’m certain this year is the last opportunity to avoid global-scale cataclysm. The fulcrum by which history will be decided is the United States, and the coming election is what will tip the balance.
Russia has taken hold and will not be removed from east Ukraine; the bear is openly threatening Poland and the Baltic states, evidencing a belligerence that has Sweden on the brink of joining NATO. Leaders in England, Sweden and Germany warned this week of the possibility, indeed the likelihood of war with Russia before another decade elapses. They’ve advised their countrymen and militaries to prepare.
While the Biden admin continues a passionate tongue kiss to the Chinese arsehole, President Xi Jinping asserts to all that Taiwan’s subjugation is imminent. He’s made clear that China’s political dominance of southeast Asia and economic dominance of the world are the goals in his sights.
Iran remains determined to achieve nuclear weapons capability and continues a proxy war using satellites Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Israel is the immediate target, but America is the ultimate goal. And asinine immigration policy has made much of Europe a tantalizing available target.
None of these enemies are new, but all of them are aware that the US is a divided nation. Its intelligence apparatus is more concerned with diversity training and identifying and punishing Trump supporters than protecting the country; staff officers in the armed forces believe white supremacy poses the greatest threat to America, not foreign enemies, and the capacity to wage, let alone win a war on multiple fronts is doubtful.
The country’s economy is in shambles, with worse to come because of an inability to tame inflation and the present administration’s refusal to let the country avail itself of cheap energy, and a determination to continue to allow poverty to pour over the border. In short, our enemies see we are weak and poorly led, and they emerged from their caves.

The end of the post-Soviet world – in what is the most terrible irony ever imagined--saw the ascension of globalists/socialists/one world advocates in the West. Their infiltration began in the 60s; American action, example and influence enriched North America and rebuilt and enriched west Europe. In the face of such success those who love individual freedom and affluence became lazy to the threat posed by power hungry leftists and their ignorant and idiot acolytes.
It was a laziness borne of obvious success. Again, and again, and again the failed philosophy of collectivism had produced poverty, oppression and murder. Who in their right minds could be an adherent? Even the poorest in capitalist nations enjoyed comforts and a relative safety never imagined. Let the faculty lounge loonies preach what they want. I mean, Who wants to be an administrator or a bureaucrat? Jobs of pretend importance, they may come with a bit of power, but they create nothing and produce nothing of value. The jobs are a kind of sop, rich welfare for mediocrities.
Conservatives and capitalists were like parents who spoil a badly behaving child. They simply patted the brat on the head, never realizing that in surrendering one institution after another, eventually, the institutions would be wholly owned, entirely run by the brats who’d been indulged. The left continued its long march.
By the beginning of this century all the pieces were assembled and in position on the board. The election of Barack Obama, a fake, a phony, a cipher of no substance and steeped in garden variety faculty lounge toxic bullshit was awarded supreme power; he became the glue to the pieces. The picture emerged and Obama was the flashing light signal for a power lusting left, thought to be buried since the fall of the Soviet Union, to make its grab for the brass ring.
In response, first came the Tea Party, a tame and polite, predominantly white and working class movement that was instinctually opposed to the left’s cultural desires and had become empirically at odds with globalization and climate change, both of which had diminished and even erased their hopes and standard of living. In what was a harbinger of things to come, progressives and their corporate media # branded Tea Party members racists, and RINOs in the Republican Party coopted the movement so that it could be destroyed from within.
This led to Trump and the MAGA movement, more drastic in the sense that it’s angrier; the people in the movement have come to terms with the fact that the left hates them, and the left is the enemy. There is a thorough realization of who and what progressives are and what they want, and a bracing acknowledgment that progressives have monopolized all of our institutions, all the levers of power. There is recognition that John Kennedy’s Democratic Party has been hijacked and is now owned by a dangerous and authoritarian enemy of the people. And that’s why Trump’s MAGA movement has shown greater assertiveness and poses a bigger threat than the Tea Party.
Progressive leaders understand this. It’s why they went after Trump from the beginning and continue now their attempts to jail and/or destroy him. The same lust and logic that made it imperative to brand Brett Kavanaugh a gang rapist, to insist we surrender our guns, to divide us by race, to open our border, to allow anointed gangs to burn and loot, to corrupt elections and imprison conservative protestors continues to animate them, because any conceivable hurdle to their domination must be dealt with and destroyed.
Trump and his movement pose the left an existential threat. In power again, having seen the left exposed, Trump could and will begin an extirpation and destruction of the Deep State and academia that would, at least, set the globalist one-world socialist movement back for a generation, and might possibly destroy it for many decades to come.
Movements similar to MAGA have come alive in Europe and South America: Hungary, Sweden, Italy and Argentina have governments created in response to progressive overreach; France and Germany threaten to do the same. Japan and India have let it be known they will not ride the globalist train. Still, all will, finally, live or die according to what happens in America. If there is no magnetic pole pulling in opposition to the tyrannous regimes, resistance will eventually become impossible. China, Iran and Russia will be left to determine the direction of the world. I suspect China would win that fight, but don’t discount a billion Muslims. On the other hand, what’s left won’t be worth owning.
At present, with respect to foreign enemies, our greatest strength is their weakness. The Chinese and Russians are demographic time bombs and their technology is not equal to that of the US. Iran is a Tenth Century basket base at the mercy of mad men who are hated by the majority of their countrymen. For the present, our superior system has kept us elevated.
However, that genius system, created by genius men, faces a threat greater than that ever encountered…It is the threat from within that Lincoln warned us of when he said “All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined…could not by force take a drink from the Ohio. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.”
But as our enemies abroad are weak, so are they within our borders. This is no guarantee of victory; we’ve all seen evil triumph, but it is a guarantee of a fight, and a greater fight than our domestic enemies imagined. The determination to power and a conviction of infallibility blind progressives and leave them unable to see, let alone acknowledge, error.
They know Trump poses them a grave threat, but they don’t see that if Trump fails what comes after him will be worse. This election, this year is the last chance for peace and freedom. Biden can’t win, and he will be replaced, I’m guessing the Dems run Michelle Obama. No matter: she will lose to Trump, too. We have awakened from our slumber; we are not bowing to them; we will not give up to them.
2024 is the year.
