<\/a><\/p>\nWestern politicians \u2018 problem is that they don\u2019t want to \u201cbreak the news\u201d to their people that\u00a0Western standards of living are going to degrade ineluctably over the coming years<\/b>, because that would expose their incompetence,\u00a0as well as highlight the need to address wealth inequality in the West<\/b>.<\/p>\n
It is easier instead to the blame the disenfranchised, pauperised citizens voting for Trump, Brexit, and other \u201cextreme\u201d political parties.<\/p>\n
America\u2019s strategic crisis came in the \u201990s, immediately following the collapse of the USSR. At that time, its leadership got sidelined in favour of clique of harebrained ideologues whose ideology is not only alien, but corrosive. The net result is that the\u00a0National\u00a0<\/i>interest was abandoned, if not actively undermined in favour of an\u00a0Imperial\u00a0<\/i>agenda benefiting the ideologues and a tiny elite to the detriment of the nation and the population. Unfortunately, neither modernity nor education prevented the gross miscalculations that drove their Imperial agenda into the ditch.<\/p>\n
Their Imperial ambitions are now unrecoverable, but with the national fabric rent, they\u2019ve created a recipe for a Constitutional crisis for the simple reason that it is completely unclear whether a coherent, widely accepted vision of the National interest can even be coherently generated at this point. Everything I look at says \u201cDoubtful\u201d.<\/p>\n
The last time that happened in America, a brutal civil war broke out that exceeded all previous for carnage. That\u2019s, of course, no guarantee of a civil war breaking out this time, but the trend is not America\u2019s friend here. The USSR came very close to a civil war as it came apart, and as it did America\u2019s eventually following in its footsteps was a matter of some discussion both internally and externally. \u201cEventually\u2019s\u201d turn is coming \u2019round at last.<\/p>\n
\u2026 I don\u2019t see China or Russia setting out to subvert its sovereignty.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Fully agree.
\nIt is not in their, or the world\u2019s, interest to see the US fall into the abyss. Today, the repercussions would shatter a great many of the institutional structures the world is dependent on, not least of which is the USD\u2019s reserve status. Imagine the world\u2019s central banks waking up one day being, in aggregate, some 60% poorer. Can you say \u201cGlobal Depression\u201d?<\/p>\nBoth Russia and China and others have made all manner of overtures to help America\u2019s elites out of their dilemma. Alas, the ideologues are still in charge and the hour is getting late.<\/p>\n
There is no doubt that the collapse of the USSR triggered intellectual decadence in all of the Western world. Historian Webster Tarpley very insightfully made the correlation.
\nWhile the USSR was still a geopolitical competitor, the US and its area of influence had to deploy intelligence and persuasion to convince of their superiority. Once the USSR collapsed, hubris took over, it was believed that \u201cHistory had ended\u201d leaving in place a sole hegemon, and that no pretence was required anymore. Political and social thinking went downhill. The trash called \u201ccommercial popular culture\u201d now served to the masses on TV is another consequence.<\/p>\nBut has the education and modern political vision really disappeared? I don\u2019t know much about America, and can talk only about Europe, but this is what I think, for what it is worth.<\/p>\n
The body of knowledge that supports modern political vision has not disappeared: it is suppressed and oppressed because Zionist control has taken over almost all political processes. The takeover was gradual, and while certainly favoured by the US patron emerging as sole hegemon, it has also a more specific and organic root cause: financial globalisation.<\/p>\n
Financial globalisation represented the key milestone at which point countries\u2019 sovereignty was almost abolished, and political personnel were chosen on the basis of their compatibility and complacency with the Zionist existential agenda.<\/p>\n
Anyway, this is was the case in both the UK and France, and was even more visible in France, where critical mind used to be valued and institutional propaganda was not so established.<\/p>\n
In neither countries can politicians question whether policies are serving the national interest, or whether they are good for Israel. It has become impossible to do so.<\/p>\n
Does it mean that there are no \u201cjail break\u201d attempts? Definitely not. The false flag terror attacks under President Hollande\u2019s term were organised because (1) he tried to normalise relationships with Russia, (2) he got cold feet with the subversion of Syria (which was openly and \u201cindependently\u201d championed by Hebraic FM Laurent Fabius).<\/p>\n
Current French President, Macron, for all his flaws, is not the complete puppet he is portrayed to be. He also makes attempts at favouring the national interest by dealing directly with Russia.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t know yet what pressure he is submitted to: people are eager to hear about the inquiry into the fire at Notre-Dame.<\/p>\n
The point is, political capabilities haven\u2019t disappeared, they are suppressed by the overwhelming balance of power in favour of the covert Zionist forces at play. And sadly, these forces wouldn\u2019t not be so formidable without the backing of their US \u201cpatron\u201d.<\/p>\n
If a seismic shock was to happen that would remove credibility to the existing European political systems, new political forces will come to being because there still exist people with modern vision and integrity that could organise them.
\nSuch a seismic shock is bound to happen anyway: if Israel hasn\u2019t caused a major showdown in the ME by then, it will be a long overdue recession.

There will be a lot of civil unrest, but as long as the US military holds together, the country\u2019s geographical can never be threatened.<\/p>\n
What seems more likely is not an American civil war, but very bloody Israeli retaliations on US soil, should the US face the need to change direction in its foreign policy. Best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
By 2015, world GDP had already passed the threshold where the GDP share of the West had become lesser than the share of the Rest. The major share of global wealth shifting towards Asia is an ineluctable historic re-alignment; it is a natural return to the long-term historic balance pre-Industrial Revolution.
