Well out, Patrick...

If the Empire is an illness, I fear that the patient (country) is irreversibly infected with propaganda so much so, that it would choke off any last effort to breathe in the truth. All empires are born, develop, grow, mature and decay --- but this one, in particular, is in the middle of an interregnum (where the future truth cannot be fertilized and past lies cannot be acknowledged). It is this period which signified our sheer demise.

Thank you for your time and writing.

It seems logic and morality are no longer useful debate tactics, when the powers that be seem to have all the personal character of rabid zombies.

While I certainly wish RFKJr. the best and hope he is the next president, the fact is that the greatest danger to our current necrotic ruling class are themselves. It seems evident they will do anything, not only to remain in control, but possibly even more importantly, from their perspective, prevent anyone that might hold them to account from gaining effective power. For obvious reasons.

Up to, it would seem, nuclear war.

Yet it does seem the ground is break away from under them. Not only in this country, but across the West, including Israel. The wave has crested.

Moon of Alabama did an interesting commentary on this; https://www.moonofalabama.org/2023/07/ukraine-sitrep-reality-is-defeating-the-war-narrative.html#comments

The gist of which is that our elites have wrapped themselves in this narrative bubble, of the superiority of the West, to which facts and reality must eventually bow down.

Like spendthrift heirs to a fortune, our second rate leaders simply cannot conceive of a world outside their bubble. They live in the Garden and the rest of the world is a jungle.

Safe to say, the rest of the world is realizing the Alpha dog is looking weak and they sense the Big Shift coming.

What we, while in the West, but effectively watching from the sidelines, need to start discussing isn't the details of this collapsing world order, but the world we want to see rise from it and can be a part of.

One that understands the power of the ecosystem, of all the different cultures well rooted into all the various regions and circumstances, in which we are apart of. Not one world global order, with the rest of the world falling in line, as pale images to our supreme culture.

Structure matters. Whether it's culture, or biology. It seems the polarity of the sexes is too provincial for these creatures. It should be noted the sexes predate the split between flora and fauna, but bacteria reproduce asexually and it is only at that most basic stage can all of life function at the same level. And that seems to be the level to which they would like to see the rest of us, while they keep their yachts, mansions and jets.

Though they will find in the coming years, their armored Mercedes will be no protection, when the cartels have RPG's and their estates and security services won't matter, when the gangs have armed drones. Welcome to the 2020's.
