Nobody Goes To War for the Rules-Based Order

Article by J.B. Shurk.

Excerpt:

Are all cultures equally worthy of our respect?  Globalists say, “yes.”

Are all religions equally worthy of our respect?  Globalists say, “yes.”

Are all nations equally worthy of our respect?  Globalists say, “yes.”

Globalists speak of “multiculturalism” as if it were a virtue and equate Western civilization with “white supremacy,” “patriarchy,” and “imperialism.” They believe Christians should celebrate Islamic holidays. They believe national borders are “racist.” They believe that anybody who rejects globalism promotes “hate.”

AI Authoritarianism: A Government Without Constitutional Brakes

Article by John & Nisha Whitehead.

Extract:

What we are watching unfold is the construction of a government that requires fewer human beings to carry out its will, fewer human beings to question its orders, and fewer human beings to stand in the way when efficiency collides with legality, morality or constitutional restraint.

Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s Stark Warning About the Future of the West

'We are dealing with an enemy who wants to play God'

Eva Vlaardingerbroek delivers a forceful warning (video, 14 minutes) about what she sees as a growing crisis in Western civilisation, arguing that conservatives cannot effectively defend their values without returning to faith, morality and belief in God. Speaking at the National Conservatism Conference, Vlaardingerbroek argues that the political and cultural battles facing the West are not simply about elections or policy, but about fundamental questions of truth, morality and human nature. She criticises what she describes as globalist attempts to reshape society and warns about the rise of transhumanism, pointing to technologies such as Neuralink and artificial wombs as examples of humanity increasingly attempting to alter or transcend the limits of human nature. Vlaardingerbroek also argues that conservatives should stop being hesitant about discussing religion in public life. In her view, younger generations are looking for moral clarity in a world that has become increasingly uncertain and relativistic. Among her strongest arguments is her warning that transhumanism could be presented as a technological solution to humanity’s problems while ultimately creating a new set of dangers.

Passive Ponzi—How Your Retirement Became the Collateral

Another good article by Wendy Williamson.

Excerpts:

The 1694 inversion and the Ponzi geometry of the American retirement system

In 1694, a king with bad credit accidentally built the modern financial world.

The Bank of England took a king’s debt and turned it into a permanent, tradable financial asset. The debt did not have to be repaid in the ordinary sense. It could be held, traded, and used as collateral. The king’s obligation became a public asset.

That was the inversion on which the entire financial system was built. Debt was no longer merely a burden to be repaid and extinguished. It became a foundation for wealth. It could be held indefinitely, generate income indefinitely, and support further lending. A liability that once had to be settled could now serve as the basis for expanding financial claims.

The chain of belief that held it together ran from the banknote to the government’s promise, from Parliament’s taxing power to the English economy, and ultimately to the willingness of the English people to work, pay, and trust the government with the power it claimed.

Every link was real. But the chain as a whole depended on something that could not be audited in advance. It could only be trusted.

The Successful Revolutionary “Long-March” Through Our Institutions

Article by Boyd Cathey.

Excerpt:

Yet, Soros fits Disraeli’s description of 180 years ago; if there ever was confirmation, he exemplifies it and exemplifies dozens of other like-minded figures in the world today.  He epitomizes that occult face of the “blood dimmed tide” of Revolution against God and man that poet William Butler Yeats warned of in 1919—at the very same moment in time when Antonio Gramsci was authoring his theories that would prove so fatal to the West.

He who would know the truth, must then act upon it. Over the past century or so the actual character, the real face of the Revolution, has been revealed as perhaps never before. Although lacking many of the resources and weaponry of our Enemies, those of us resolved not only to defend what is left of our culture and our Western Christian civilization, and, if possible, to begin a restoration, must be as bold and as cunning as Nathan Bedford Forrest, as wise and as prudential as Marse Robert Lee, and as patient and as calculating as our Enemies who understood that to conquer the seemingly unconquerable, it would take time, and above all, persistence, intelligence and constancy. And, for us, at the foundation of it all, Faith.

Is the AI Doomer Wave a Genuine Alarm, or a Scheme for Control?

Article by Paul Dragu.

Conclusion:

What may be true is that AI is the most transformative technology since the Industrial Revolution. And like every tool, it can be wielded for good or bad. It can benefit the common man as much as those with bigger — and more malevolent — ambitions. But not if it’s centralized. At that point, it becomes a weapon for those who control it and another means of disadvantage for those on the other end.

Laws for safety’s sake are not always a bad thing. But we must be careful not to allow regulation that disadvantages regular people while further empowering the state and oligarch class. Neither has a good track record of looking out for our interests.

The City Is Not London—How Babylon’s Temple Banks Built the Financial System

Long article, but very good. By Wendy Williamson.

Quotes: 

“And the language of finance still carries the vocabulary of salvation. Credit comes from credere, “to believe” or “to trust.” Redemption comes from redimere, “to buy back.” Mortgage is Old French mort gage—literally “dead pledge.” Interest comes from interesse, “to be between.” The language of finance is haunted by the language of salvation. Deeper than economics, it penetrates the soul.”

[BTW, there is a strong linguistic relationship in German between ‘guilt’ (‘Schuld’) and ‘debt’ (‘Schulden’).]

“The choice is not between having money and not having money. It is between serving the living God of relationship and serving the invisible god of the ledger. It does not demand worship through rituals or temples. It demands our attention—through organization, accumulation, and ceaseless activity. It keeps us busy, distracted, and fragmented, making it harder to see the whole. Mammon is not merely the god of debt—it is also the god of war. The same system that turns debt into wealth turns death into profit. Human suffering fuels the machine.”
