Dark Enlightement

 

                                                           Dark Enlightenment

                                                         Junious Ricardo Stanton


          

Just when I thought things couldn’t get more Orwellian I came across a new term and movement called Dark Enlightenment. What is that you ask? Dark Enlightenment aside from being an oxymoron, a contradictory set of words, is defined as: an anti-democratic, anti-egalitarian, reactionary philosophy founded by Curtis Yarvin, an American software engineer and blogger under the pen name “Mencius Moldbug,” and developed further by English philosopher Nick Land.

Why is Dark Enlightenment so important, you ask? Because this philosophy is catching on and is being espoused by prominent influencers, billionaire oligarchs and policy makers like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Steve Bannon, US Vice President J.D. Vance and a host of others.

            We can see the real time consequences of this sociopolitical philosophy in the current Trump administration. Dark Enlightenment espouses elitist authoritarianism as opposed to populist people empowerment, they promote a decline in government services and influence to be replaced by executive and corporate sovereignty and power. This is the idea behind DOGE replacing government civil servants, and dismantling D.E.I. DOGE even if it were a legitimate governmental department rather than an advisory group is not about cost cutting, governmental efficiency and reducing the government debt, it is about restructuring the whole system!

Remember at its core Dark Enlightenment admits to being anti-democratic and anti-egalitarian favoring whiteness and male hierarchical patriarchy. Proponents of Dark Enlightenment (DE) offer a unique form of eugenics which is why it is so popular with white males in the alt-right movement. DE proponents are not knuckle dragging oafs or Neanderthals. They tend to be highly educated, extremely financially well off, deeply involved in technology, investment finance and highly critical of the status quo.

Devotees of Dark Enlightenment reject modernity and progressive movements. They are very critical of the decline of Western civilization blaming the philosophical foundations of The Enlightenment and the move away from strict authoritarianism such a monarchy and hierarchal feudalism for its demise. They are against society wide personal liberties, egalitarianism and there is a tinge of racism in their rants as they envision a society run by elites within a highly rigid hierarchical and neofuedal like structure augmented by and effectively operated using advanced technology, what some call technocracy, the Fourth Industrial Revolution or algocracy (rule by algorithm).

The leaders of this movement eschew notions of feminism, multiculturalism and egalitarianism. They say they are not racists but adhere to a notion of “racial realism”, believing biology and genetics provide differing gifts and abilities to each ethnic group which in turn determines their social status and outcomes within society. This notion attempts to obfuscate the role and history of state sanctioned oppression, violence and color caste deprivation.

DE adherents are not futurists in the sense they daydream and wax poetic about their New World Order, they actually have the means and influence to make things happen as we see with their impact on Donald Trump via their huge contributions to his presidential campaigns and their direct input into his administration. J.D. Vance is in his position as Vice President because of the influence of a key DE proponent and billionaire named Peter Theil.

            These are not the philosophical rants of sci-fi futurist philosophers no, they are the giants of the tech world, influencers and shot callers within the global order and members of globalist organizations like the World Economic Forum and the Bilderberg Group.  What is extremely alarming is the sway and influence these billionaires currently have in the Trump Administration.

While Elon Musk does not publicly or openly align himself with DE, his actions demonstrate a kinship with their ideology. He, like them, believes in strong executive action augmented by ever expanding technology. In his role at DOGE Musk is an unelected unaccountable (other than to Donald Trump) autocrat making decisions without any oversight of the Congress. This is how the DE devotees want to roll and their role unless it is checked by Congress (which is unlikely) or the courts will grow even more aggressive.

DE is an underground movement but it is extremely powerful and gaining more and more traction not only within the Trump administration but globally.  Keep you eyes open on this.

War Appears Eminent

 

                                                             War Appears Eminent

                                                            Junious Ricardo Stanton


            Donald Trump, at the behest of Zionist backers and contributors like Miriam Adelson, Bernard and Billi Wilma Marcus and Stephen and Christine Schwarzman is threatening Iran, demanding they dismantle their nuclear program. Even Trump knows this is a bridge too far; it is a push Iran will not let slide or readily capitulate to without concessions on the part of the US and Israel, which are not likely to happen! Iran poses no threat to the US but it has been in the crosshairs of the Zionists as part of their Greater Israel campaign to expropriate the lands the Biblical god of the Hebrew Israelites “promised” the Hebrews according to their religious myths. But the Zionists are not the Hebrews or Israelites of the Bible. Their ancestors were converts to Judaism.  Yet the Zionists are obsessed with expanding their territory and they will do any dastardly deed to manifest their goals.

            Israel has been trying to goad the US to do its dirty work, to wage a war against Iran for decades, under the pretext Iran has nuclear weapons. Thus far, there are no indications or proof Iran is developing nuclear weapons. However, even if they are so what, Iran has not directly attacked anyone in decades. Iran certainly has a right to defend itself.

Iran is not like Israel who constantly aggresses against its neighbors under the rubric of defense. Iran has not expanded its territory in recent times while Israel seizes every opportunity to take more and more land from its neighbors, more so than any nation in the region!  Look on the map, see for yourself exactly how much Israel has expanded since 1948. Israel cries wolf then projects then its own covetousness and imperialism on its neighbors. It is not the Arabs who are engaging in genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, it is the Israelis!

We’ve been down this road many times before. Does anyone remember how the Neocons in the Bu$h administration lied and told the world Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? Did they? It turned out they did not. The US said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad gassed his own people, turns out he did not! The US demonized Muammar Gaddafi the leader of Libya before they hideously murdered him. Now both countries are in shambles thanks to the US, Israel and their acolytes.

Can you see a pattern here?!  Will the same game plan be used against Iran? What happens if the US and Israel launch devastating attacks on Iran costing thousands of civilian casualties only to discover Iran had no weapons of mass destruction?  The US propaganda machine wants us to believe Iran is a bad actor, but who is the real bad actor in the region?

Consider this, Iran has every right to develop nuclear energy capabilities for peaceful purposes.  Ask yourself which countries have wrecked more havoc on the world the US or Iran? Which nation is the aggressor in the region Iran or Israel? The answer is clear, don’t fall for the propaganda and okey-doke.

Although Trump professes to want peace, peace in Ukraine and a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian crisis; he must know verbose threats against Iran and his ongoing attacks against the Houthis who are attacking Israeli ships and the ships of those who support Israel’s genocide in Gaza will not bring peace to that region. It’s almost as if Trump wants to start a war there, for who, for what?

There are reports President Trump is seeking to get Russian President Putin to back US strikes on Iran. Putin abandoned Syria in its hour of need, stood back and watched the US turn Libya into a failed state and has seen what the US did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Putin knows the US spent five billion dollars to overthrow the duly elected president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. Putin knows his conflict with Ukraine is a proxy war with the West (NATO, the EU and the US).

Putin recently signed a twenty-year comprehensive mutual security agreement with Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian. If the US and Israel launch attacks on Iran, will Putin and the BRICS Alliance stand passively by and allow this to go unchecked and unchallenged?  I do not think so. Trump is committed to supporting the genocide in Gaza and seems committed to threatening Iran and attacking the Houthis.  Where will this lead? Given the Israeli agenda for regional hegemony, it appears war of some kind is both eminent and inevitable.

Deja vu All Over Again

                                                         Déjà-vu All Over Again

                                                          Junious Ricardo Stanton



             Last week pundits reminded us March 11th was the five-year anniversary of SARS-COV2 aka COVID-19 being declared a global pandemic. They regurgitated the official orthodoxy of COVID being a novel virus that posed an eminent danger to the world’s population and only Operation Warp Speed’s success in creating a “vaccine” to combat the virus saved the day. No mention was made of the egregious mistakes made, the false predictions of total devastation by the “virus” or Governmental overreach and the ongoing repercussions of the COVID policies which have left a large swarth of societal disruption, devastation, damage and  distrust of the media, government and Big Pharma.

 Nothing was said about the origins of mRNA as a cancer treatment that was shelved because the lab test animals kept dying. Nothing was said about mRNA being reintroduced once COVID appeared magically under Operation Warp Speed.

Ironically a 2019 Gallup poll revealed the three most distrusted entities in the country were: the media, elected politicians and Big Pharma. In less than a year thanks to a massive fear campaign, bogus overhyped predictions of calamity and Bubonic Plague like infections and deaths, the loathing of all three, the media, politicians and Big Pharma miraculously subsided despite the fact their behaviors remained unchanged. It goes to show the power of propaganda and government coercion.

The powers that shouldn’t be, milked COVID for all they could get. They pressured entrepreneurs to shut down their businesses, closed places of worship during a crucial time when people needed assurance, faith and hope in a higher power, collective courage and unity. The government deliberately divided people into categories creating a two-tiered society of essential and non-essential workers. This was akin to apartheid, the policy undermined people’s self-esteem and gave some a false sense of importance based on their employment until many of them were subsequently kicked to the curb also.

Silly social spacing mandates were created, which Fuaci and Birx eventually admitted were made up out of thin air without any scientific validity whatsoever! Schools were shut down setting a whole generation of children up for developmental lags, emotional trauma and feelings of isolation. Many urban and rural school districts lacked the bandwidth and or technology to effectively provide efficient Online distance learning. We are seeing a generation of school children with major mental illness and educational achievement lags that Trump is using as a rationale to shut down the US Department of Education.

The shortsightedness of the COVID policies wreaked havoc on families, communities, as well as the US and global economies. Businesses were shuttered and shut down. People went bankrupt and fell behind in their rent and mortgages causing massive hardships for owners.  Thousands of square feet of commercial and government office space went unused and vacant. This created a real estate crisis that is still roiling out to this day.

The government printed trillions of dollars in stimulus checks much of it unregulated with no accountability whatsoever. Not only did this further devalue the dollar and rise inflation it also fueled a frenzy of fraud and malfeasance which ironically no government agency including DOGE has fully investigated!

This does not even include the thousands of dangerous side effects and adverse reactions to the COVID inoculations like, lethal blood clots, internal inflammation, organ damage, still births, cardiovascular conditions, cancers and excess mortality which occurred immediately following the roll out of the COVID injections (they are not vaccines in the traditional sense of the word).

We saw this happen on a much smaller scale with the Swine Flu vaccine, AZT and the AIDS “pandemic”. I predict we will see it again in the Bird Flu and Measles cases that are being hyped in the media and government. Keep in mind only one actual death has been attributed to Bird Flu amidst the sixty-nine “cases” of H5N1 or Bird Flu the media is reporting.

Don’t allow the powers that shouldn’t be to use this to ratchet vaccines. Keep in mind they tell us Bird Flu attacks wild birds, if this is true why is it most cases in the US are from farm raised chickens?! How is it H5N1 is jumping from wild birds and farm raised chickens to mammals?! Is this another case of gain of function research on bioweapons?  What will the impact of mRNA shots given to chickens have on the birds and us since chickens are a major source of food?

Something is amiss in this narrative. Don’t fall for the okey-doke. Don’t allow this to be Deja vu all over again.

Making Sense of Current Events Part II

 

                                              Making Sense of Current Events Part II

                                                           Junious Ricardo Stanton


            Everyone is buzzing about the oval office dust up last Friday when President Trump and Vice President Vance verbally spared with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky who finally was unceremoniously escorted out of the White House. As with everything Trump does, there are differing emotions, opinions and perspectives. Some claimed Trump and Vance did a tag team beat down on Zelensky while others feel Trump stood up for America and American values. There is truth in both perspectives

            The problem is we have been lied to and gaslighted by the government and media as a result, most Americans are totally ignorant regarding the root causes of what is going on in Ukraine. Most don’t know the US government spent five billion dollars of US taxpayer money to undermine and overthrow the duly elected government of Ukraine in 2014. The Obama administration influenced by the imperialist minded Neocons decided to use USAID money and CIA shenanigans to foment another “color revolution” to topple the government of Viktor Yanukovych. Yanukovych was a pro-Russian leader the US wanted removed from the playing field because of his pro-Russian leanings.

When the US deposed Yanukovych Petro Poroshenko served as president from 2014-2019.   Eventually the actor comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected president during a time when neo-Nazi elements called the Azov Brigade (Battalion) had been indiscriminately attacking and shelling several provinces in Ukraine which had linguistic and ethnic ties to Russia which were historically part of the old Soviet Union.

Overwhelmed, the residents of Donetsk appealed to Putin for help. Finally on February 24, 2022,  Putin launched what he called a Special Military Operation whose objective, according to Putin, was to Demilitarize and Denazify Ukraine, protect Russian speaking residents of the regions under attack by the Ukrainian government and styme NATO’s encroachment on the Russian border.

The Special Military Operation devolved into a full-fledged war as Western nations rushed to side with Ukraine arming the country and supplying technical and sophisticated logistical support to the overmatched and overwhelmed Zelenskyy regime.  Their agenda was to cripple Russia and bring Putin to heel using increased economic sanctions.

Putin’s actions thrusted Zelenskyy into the global limelight, he relished the media attention and has taken full advantage of his new status parading around the world posing and passing himself off as a Ukrainian David winning a war for his people against the Russian Goliath.

Meanwhile most honest military analysts know Ukraine can never defeat Russia and the West’s providing offensive weapons so Zelenskyy can strike deep inside Russian territory has worsened the situation. The war has escalated as Russia has forcibly responded to attacks on its territory and Zelenskyy and Ukraine are paying a heavy price.

During the election campaign Trump pompously claimed Putin would not have invaded Ukraine while he was president and said he would end the war as soon as he was inaugurated. Well Trump is now president yet the war is still raging. Zelenskyy feels comfortable making demands of the EU and US and getting US aid, but he was shaken when Trump wanted to make a half a trillion dollar deal involving Ukrainian rare earth minerals as payment for US support. We all know how that turned out last week.

The US needs Ukrainian rare earth minerals because China has a global monopoly on them. China controls over 60% of the world’s rare earth production and 90% of its refining capacity! These are the minerals modern technology needs to be productive: lithium, titanium, phosphate, zircon, graphite, cobalt, beryllium, zinc, they power our modern gizmos and gadgets, the so-called green technology, microchips and modern warfare.

Trump is trying to seize an opportunity to close the gap between the US and China with this deal. This is why he and his team were furious when Zelenskyy reneged on signing it last week.

Always follow the money and the resources. Don’t fall for the humanitarian rhetoric, Musk and his ilk in Silicon Valley, the technocrats and the military industrial complex need these minerals to be competitive and to maintain their global hegemon. This is what the bruhaha in the White House was really about.

Making Sense of Current Events

                                                       Making Sense of Current Events Part 1

                                                                    Junious Ricardo Stanton


            Since Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as the forty-seventh president of the United States things have been moving at a hectic whirlwind pace. Unfortunately, the legacy and alternative media have kept the hype going. Trump sells. But are we being given all the facts and are we being told the truth?

 If the long-established pattern of media mendacity holds true the answer is no. The media goes for sensationalism, obfuscation and out and out deceit. We have to use our own powers of discernment and trusted media outlets to figure out exactly what is going on in the world. So my fellow truth seekers and those of you with a thirst for knowledge I will offer some unique perspectives on current events.

            Everyone is talking about Elon Musk and DOGE aka the Department of Government Efficiency. Well first off DOGE is not a real department because only the US Congress can establish a governmental department because they are the ones who have to appropriate the funds to create and sustain it. DOGE was never authorized by the US Congress, period! More correctly it is an advisory group similar to the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. Elon Musk is not a secretary; he is not even a cabinet members as we saw the other day at Trump’s first public cabinet meeting. He was not seated at the long table and he was there merely to provide and update on what he was doing.

            During the election campaign, Trump promised to cut government spending, waste, fraud and mismanagement. As we have seen from the early DOGE reports, there is a humongous amount of all of that especially waste, fraud and corruption!         The US government like many businesses, corporations and households is floundering in debt. This debt is unsustainable as we heard in the sound bite from Elon Musk at the cabinet meeting. This debt is onerous and will be the downfall of this nation.

Here's an alarming fact, as of September 30, 2024 the US debt to GDP ratio was123%. The US debt was $35.46 trillion with a “T” versus $28.83 trillion in produced goods and services. This cannot go on forever and it won’t. There is a great reckoning coming and unfortunately Trump’s efforts are too little too late to stave off an economic catastrophe. The debt service alone, meaning the interest the government (us taxpayers) pay on the interest of this debt is, as of September 30, 2024, $1,126.5 billion, an increase of $251.0 billion from FY 2023.

Trump’s policies will not, I repeat, will not alter this trajectory and slide. He may mean well but the fact is cutting taxes without concomitant massive slashing of spending is not going to change this picture. The cuts Musk is recommending, (this is all he can do recommend because DOGE doesn’t have the authority to fire people or eliminate departments, only the president and Congress can do that) will not save that much money. Remember the government is in trillions of dollars in debt. To give you a concise picture of what this means; one trillion is equal to one thousand billion and a billion is equal to one thousand million! Cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from the budget is a start but it will never reduce deficits or get the US out of  the trillions of dollars of debt it is in!

Worst case scenario the US would default on its debt reducing it to pauper status.  Anyone who tells you tax cuts and tariffs are going to defuse the ticking debt time bomb is lying to you. Because its an empire fiscal bankruptcy and collapse would be devastating for the US. They talk about full faith and trust in the government but if the government is literally and figuratively bankrupt, how many other nations are going to trust it?!

Tariffs and leases used to be the nation’s main source of revenue, but then in 1913 the federal income tax was foisted on the public as a way to pay off the banksters who pressed the Congress critters to pass the legislation. Some say the amendment that created the Federal Reserve Bank (which is not part of the government but a cartel of privately owned banks) was illegitimate because the vote was taken while most of Congress was on a holiday break!

 Tariffs not only raise money they are a form of protection; they force other nations to pay a cost to export their goods to the US. In the old days this helped protect US producers by limiting foreign competition since everyone wasn’t willing to pay steep tariffs on their goods. But the problem now is with globalization multi-national corporations who operate in the US who manufacture all or parts of their products overseas, will be forced to pay the tariffs too thus driving up the costs us their products also. Another factor is GDP means goods and services but the US is mainly a service economy now, other nations don’t export services. Think about that for a moment.

The tariffs will drastically increase the cost of living which is already beginning to overwhelm many of us. The Fed’s policies of printing and putting more dollars in circulation and lowering interest rates actually incentivizes more borrowing and debt while simultaneously shrinking the value of the dollar and with additional costs due to tariffs, inflation will continue to skyrocket. Even Trump has been forced to admit he can’t keep prices from rising. The sad reality is his policies will make things worse! Making sense of current events.

Fool Me Twice Shame on Me

 

                                                           Fool Me Twice Shame on Me

                                                              Junious Ricardo Stanton


                Amidst the flurry of Executive Orders, the media’s responses to Trump’s bombastic statements, his cabinet nominees and “pop culture” distractions, we are missing the fact the miscreants and overlords are trying to replicate their fearmongering about the Bird Flu. There is an old saying, “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.” We need to take note of this saying and contemplate what this means with regard to the ongoing Bird Flu hype and apply it to our lives.

                When you look beyond the propaganda, and peek behind the rhetoric and fear porn curtains about the H5N1 virus (aka Bird Flu) please keep this fact in mind, the United States has a population of over three hundred million population; but thus far as of this writing, there have been only sixty-eight (68) reported deaths from the H5N1 virus! Let this sink in sixty-eight! H5N1 is a disease that impacts wild fowl but in the US it is mostly commercial chicken farms. There are a few cases of infections between wild birds and animals but this is extremely rare. Bird to human infection is even rarer. Yet the fraudsters in public health, science with the backing of the corporate media and Big Pharma are treating H5N1 as if it is the next Bubonic Plague. Is Bird Flu another example of gain of function research bio-weaponry, biological warfare?

                This is the same thing they did with COVID. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! When I say fool me once, fool me twice I am referring to the fact the vast majority of the “information” about COVID was false. Even now we’re discovering the circumstances of COVID’s origins are not what they originally told us. Just recently the US CIA, an agency not known for its veracity (think Osama bin-Laden, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Russia-gate to name a few) stated that COVID probably originated from a lab leak! Think about this for a moment, when the notion that COVID was the result of illegal Gain of Function research and or clandestine “scientific action” it was denounced, mocked and derided. Claims of disinformation and “conspiracy theorist” were launched against anyone who dared to question the “official” COVID orthodoxy and narrative. People who merely asked questions about the official narrative/orthodoxy were deplatformed on social media, threatened with loss of license, certification, employment and were marginalized and ostracized.

                The global one-percenter crowd like Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation, WEF, WHO etc. financed, created, embraced and promulgated the COVID narrative around the world, then they launched a global scare campaign designed to terrify us and make us fall for their okey-doke about Operation Warp Speed and the safety and efficacy of their inoculations. As it turns out these remediations are now proving to be ineffective people who took the jab still got sick and dangerous.

They fooled us about the lethality and extensiveness of the infections. They duped us into believing a planet with a growing population of over eight billion people (a billion = one thousand million) was in acute danger from a so-called virus which infected only about seven hundred five million and  killed seven million people most of whom were elderly with compromised immune systems, chronic conditions and comorbidities! These numbers do not add up to a global epidemic or plague!

According to worldometer.info an extremely well researched and highly accurate Website, of the approximately seven hundred five million infected by “COVID” over six hundred seventy-five million recovered! In other words the misanthropes deliberately overhyped COVID to push their repurposed cancer treatments placing potential profits (as of 2023 Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna and Sinovac made over ninety billion dollars in profits) over people’s health and safety. Keep in mind they were granted emergency authorization and use which exempted them from liability and loss. Keep in mind they told us the shots were free, safe and effective, none of which proved to be true!

As of this writing three thousand five hundred-eighty published studies and peer reviewed journals have been released detailing the adverse side effects including injuries, disabilities and deaths following the introduction of the COVID inoculations. Yet not one pharmaceutical company executive, board member, chief scientific officer, politician, physician, scientist or hospital has been held accountable and more than likely none will be! Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

The misanthrope’s playbook is slender and slim because they work! They keep doing the same things over and over again. The so-called AIDS remediation AZT which was pushed by Anthony Fauci the same Anthony Fauci who pushed the COVID jabs (who was given a blanket pardon by Joe Biden before he left office) was a disaster. It proved lethal. So don’t allow them to dupe us again about the H5N1 virus. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!

The Pendulum Is Swinging the Other Way

 

                                               The Pendulum Is Swinging the Other Way

                                                             Junious Ricardo Stanton

                                                                           


                With the 2024 reelection of Donald J. Trump the ideological and political pendulums are swinging the other way, going from radical leftist ideation to a “populous” right wing world view. People were stressed out due to the COVID Psyop which included constant fearmongering, awfulizing and exaggerating the threat of ill health and death for a so-called virus that was only lethal to elderly folks with compromised immune systems and numerous comorbidities.

I placed  quotation marks around the word populous because Trump is not a populous in the truest sense of the word. Populism is more of a grass roots, bottom-up anti-establishment movement. Trump is not antiestablishment by any stretch of the imagination. In modern populism, common people vent their ire against the owners and controllers of global financialized capital and other transnational elites. An example of modern populist activism was the US Occupy Wall Street Movement that went global in 2011 and 2012. That movement was eventually shut down by President Barack Obama prior to the 2012 presidential election campaign because the elites Obama represented didn’t want a grassroots movement exposing the ravages of the class war going on in America! 

Blue-collar working-class folks voted for Donald Trump but the people he is listening to in his meetings and putting in charge of programs and policies are billionaires not ordinary working stiffs. How many working-class folks has Trump invited to Mar-A-Lago? The millionaires and billionaires, the ones who contributed to his election campaign know he will listen to and be motivated to do their bidding. Yes he has kept some of his campaign promises however, they are not the major policies that will ultimately define his administration, these kept promises have been called the low hanging fruit.

Most folks were tired of the constant gaslighting and obvious lies, the brazen shift away from traditional values, the feelings of helplessness and loss of control over their personal lives, their economic situation and their futures. They did not relate to the extreme policies of the Democratic Party and how politicians of both parties looked down on them in favor of their campaign contributors. Trump actively courted them and made them think he was one of them. He is not!

 The fear and the resulting stresses many Americans experienced are the result of a deliberate round the clock media blitz, intimidation and coercion by the government to submit to taking untested vaccines or lose your job, professional licenses and businesses. Social routines were disrupted, family relationships and friendships were torn asunder, some made irreparable due to the intensity of the COVID fear porn and bone-headed remediation policies; procedures that are now being revealed that were/are more damaging than the virus itself. https://slaynews.com/news/covid-vaccines-linked-aggressive-blood-cancer/, https://www.globalresearch.ca/more-americans-died-covid-19-injections-wwi-wwii-vietnam-war-combined/5878034

This trend has negatively impacted millions of lives and people are seething and up in arms about it. The fall out from lockdowns and insane “remediation” protocols for COVID generated unhealthy stress and anxiety that are still playing out today. The mental health of the US has declined precipitously and US life expectancy has been in decline for successive years now.

 The escalating inflation and economic instability experienced by millions and the resulting angst and animosity towards Western governments are producing massive changes in voter preferences and voting patterns. In the US, Donald Trump was elected by huge margins. Only Kamala Harris’s wins in New York and California with their large electoral votes thwarted a Trump landslide victory. Trump campaigned promising he would save the day.

In Europe far right and right wing political parties are emerging and winning icrucial national elections. Austria, France Germany, Belgium, Portugal and Germany have experienced not only shifts but election victories in national elections as the mood, tone and tenor has shifted to the right and far right.

In the US, Donald Trump’s administration immediately after being inaugurated aggressively moved to keep some of his campaign promises. Trump is using Executive Orders rather than legislative deftness and cooperation to: “secure” both the Mexican and Canadian borders, round up, arrest and deport immigrants prioritizing those with criminal records or backgrounds and sending the military to bolster the US southern border with Mexico. He has negated DEI and the sexual dysphoria issues in the US military and government by Executive Order.

 His base loves it. But in their jubilation, they are not considering possible long term downside. Trump has energized his base of disaffected white males by eliminating DEI within the federal government and threatening other institutions and companies with loss of funds, contracts and access if they do not follow suit.  It remains to be seen whether or not his actions will stand if, and the operative word here is if, they are challenged in court. It also remains to be seen whether or not Trump’s early actions will embolden him to take even more belligerent actions and if his base will push for even more to tip the scales towards a technofascist government. Thus far Trump has governed through Executive Orders which is not a hallmark of democracy!

The left has been emasculated. They are attempting to regroup but it remains to be seen whether or not they can get Americans to ever trust them again or look to them for meaningful plans and policies if they refuse to extricate themselves from or abandon their moribund policies of the past

The pendulum is swinging back, but the question is, will it create balance or generate more chaos disruption and division?
