Excellent framing of our current global political and eco.omic crises and how we got to this point. If someone had said that I would be rooting for Trump 10 years ago, I would have said NEVER! Even as a woman who despised his behaviour - "grab 'em by the pussy" - I would rather have an openly misogynist leader who stands up to mealy-mouthed idiots and deceitful charlatans who are effectively sending us over a cliff.
It remains to be seen whether he has the skill and fortitude to carry out his plans while still maintaining his popularity in America. Getting rid of DEI and trans ideology was a step in the right direction. It's time that the voting population took personal responsibility for their future.
I had no idea we were so close to completely losing our freedom. I was naive like most people. Not any more. Freedom clearly isn't free. No matter what Trump does, citizensmust always hold their leaders accountable.
Thank you Joy! It's been quite a journey for me too.
I think it was Victor Davis Hanson who described him as a gunfighter that is reluctantly hired to clean up the town in the Old Wild West. 😉
I pray he is successful because there truly are few in the world capable of withstanding everything he's been through. And I hope there are deep constitutional reforms that follow his executive orders to put limits on power so what has happened under previous administrations can never happen again!
It does seem as though lines are being drawn. Thank you for this article! I've been looking elsewhere in our hemisphere for hope and all the while puzzled by Trump's recent comments to Canada and, especially, to Greenland. Your historic and global perspective has raised my "sight" a bit higher and broader to the reasons for Trump's comments. I now see how vast and shifting these "historic tectonic plates" really are! Let's hope that the citizens of my country, the USA, begin to realize the much larger issues facing us all. Most of the people I know in my state are still entirely captured by Trump Derangement Syndrome with no counter-balance of awareness of the larger forces that threaten us.
Here in BC it is similar where the mere mention of his name triggers such a strong reaction, even among people who were complaining bitterly about their own governments only seconds before.
Julius, I used to live in the Lower Mainland. Is that where you are? Seems to me that when you go north of the LM, you enter much more "Alberta-type" cultural territory.
Got to know and follow you via Trish Wood Podcast - discovered/read Autopsy of a Pandemic. Amazing book that everyone should read. Such a thorough big picture capture of a “great divide”. Pick a side. Look forward to tomorrow’s read.
Masterful geopolitical analysis. Whatever you may think of Trump, those who underestimate him will live to rue the day during his second administration. How many global leaders will be his equal, I wonder? As the Chinese say rather blackly, may you live in interesting times.
Thank you Art! The man has a skin as thick as a rhinocerous when it comes to shaking off one attack after another! We do indeed live in interesting times !!! — funny how in the movies interesting times look much more inspiring than the nail-biting nightmare without end that it's turning out to be in reality...😉
There are some political commentators who are very concerned about the Trumpian model of rule by executive order. James Corbett of the Corbett Report points out that the framers of the American Constitution were trying to avoid that very concentration of power into a single monarch or authority. Even in Canada during recent decades more power has accrued to the Prime Minister's Office than was originally intended. I'm not quite as pessimistic as this Off-Guardian article but the situation does have a kind of imperial ring to it. (Which in fact is the majority of history, not democracy.) On the other hand, those executive orders that survive the lawsuits and Congressional challenges could do a lot of good. Pray RFK Jr. is confirmed and allowed to carry out his program.
... all the BigTech CEOs were front and center during Trump’s inauguration. We are headed towards Digital Prisons (also known as SMART Cities or 15 minute cities)
but that isn't the left, the real left is a heresy in the era of financial capital, what you're talking about is the fake woke left, imposed from above, to tame the masses and distract them from the real social struggles: equal rights, but above all fair distribution of economic resources, defense of COMMON GOODS, shared ownership of the means of production.
If you want fraternité you must also want egalité, strong stuff for Jacobins or communists.
We are is the Fourth Revolution, but human beings have not changed, we are still in Prehistory, Marx would say... The rich still oppress and dictate the law and exploit, the masses are still forced to obey, by fair means or foul... The law is equal for all is a communist heresy, let's forget about it. We are going back to normality, we are going back to the law of the strongest... Egalitarian democracies are not given to you from above; it is a dream of the partisans, of the Jacobins, of the communists and of the anarchists, strong stuff; a heresy to be eradicated without leaving a trace.
Schwab is neither Marxist, nor Communist. The only thing that truly terrifies these oligarchs, who are the new aristocracy of the 21st century, is the class struggle from below: the only thing capable of defeating them.
What the globalists have in mind is a technocratic neo-feudalism.
Globalist Marxism is a fairy tale that circulates on social media, usually spoken of by people who have never read a page of Marx.
The left, the real one, is out of the game like the Cathars and the Albigensians in the Middle Ages. In Latin America, and n the East, socialists and communists are attacked and conquered by armies, like the "Perfects" in Carcassonne.
Around the world — Agencies, police departments, states, counties, fire departments, schools, hospitals, armies — They’re all in a mad scramble to get federal reserve notes. Nobody wants to work for money, they want it handed to them, and they will lie cheat, and steal to get it. Stealing money from the federal reserve, is it even stealing? We do not have a government. We have a money system that people will do whatever they need to do to get the money. Nobody wants to work, the artisans and expert carpenters are committing suicide because they’re building beautiful mansions for ingrates who never lifted a finger for anything. The generals don’t even want to kill for money, they just want to get the money. Zelensky buys millions of dollars of real estate in Florida. He doesn’t care who lives or dies. He just wants the money. I say ideology is dead, liberal, conservative, socialism capitalism, nationalism, it’s nothing. The money machine that prints and distributes paper money drives everybody, everybody.
The first part is linked, the archive is truncated, but there are three parts.
Julius' essays illuminate the results; I find the neofeudal essays give a credible explanation of the underlying causes, including fractional reserve banking and private central banks.
I always wondered about the endgame of continuous growth, effectively a positive feedback machine. Eventually the math results in a vertical outcome which is inherently impossible and must lead to a destructive crash.
Thank you Julius for such a well written article that kept me reading until your last word. I will now read part 2. We are in serious trouble here in Canada. When I look around and see the comedy hour (although it is far from funny) played out daily, I want to scream. What a dog and pony show. Trudeau is out front and centre bleating all the time. Meanwhile back at the ranch they are scurrying to select a new idiot. I told friends for over 2 years, "Just watch, Carney is going to be installed next". What little we have left, he will destroy.

very informative. I have posted a link on Jeff Childers
@coffeeandcovid ............... hoping to spread the knowledge
Oh good. I was thinking of doing the same. I would love to see Jeff Childers incorporate some of this in his comments and analysis.
Thoroughly enjoyed your easy reading style as well as the intelligent dichotomy of Globalist socialist Satannna or national interest pranayamma
🙏 Thank you Grasshopper!
I wish I could write as pithily as JR.
Well done. Truly enjoyable.
Much appreciated Lenny! 🙏

An excellent essay.
At the risk of being a wet blanket, where does Israel and its ilk fit into the picture?
Thanks Eric!
That would be an interesting (and complex) future Deep Dive!
Omg this was phenomenal! I’m so excited for part two.
Thank you Kate! Just released part 2 - hope you enjoy it! 🙏
Great article really enjoyed it and thought almost everything was spot on!
Not so sure Hitler was really trying to take all of Europe in WW2 though.

Jewish/Zionist interests directs both sides of this dichotomy but no mention?

Excellent Conversation and Analysis. I'm with you Walter !
Good Piece by Julius Ruechel
Trump’s message is clear: reform… or cease to exist. Consequences.
