The Europeans won’t ever be capable of replicate the time-tested Hegemon cash laundering machine
The terrible shadow of some unseen Energy
Floats tho’ unseen amongst us, -visiting
This varied world with as inconstant wing
As summer season winds that creep from flower to flower.-
Like moonbeams that behind some piny mountain bathe,
It visits with inconstant look
Every human coronary heart and countenance;
Like hues and harmonies of night,-
Like clouds in starlight extensively unfold,-
Like reminiscence of music fled,-
Like aught that for its grace could also be
Expensive, and but dearer for its thriller.
Shelley, Hymn to Mental Magnificence
Because the de facto North Atlantic Terror Group celebrates its seventy fifth birthday, taking Lord Ismay’s motto to ever hovering heights (“preserve the People in, the Russians out, and the Germans down”), that thick slab of Norwegian wooden posing as Secretary-Normal got here up with a merry “initiative” to create a 100 billion euro fund to weaponize Ukraine for the subsequent 5 years.
Translation, concerning the essential cash entrance within the NATO-Russia conflict: partial exit of the Hegemon – already obsessing with The Subsequent Endlessly Struggle, in opposition to China; enter the motley crew of ragged, de-industrialized European chihuahuas, all in deep debt and most mired in recession.
A couple of IQs over common room temperature at NATO’s HQ in Haren, in Brussels, had the temerity to marvel the right way to give you such a fortune, as NATO has zero leverage to lift cash amongst member states.
In spite of everything, the Europeans won’t ever be capable of replicate the time-tested Hegemon cash laundering machine. As an example, assuming the White Home-proposed $60 billion bundle to Ukraine can be authorised by the U.S. Congress – and it gained’t – at least 64% of the overall won’t ever attain Kiev: will probably be laundered inside the industrial-military advanced.
But it will get much more dystopic: Norwegian Wooden, robotic stare, arms flailing, truly believes his proposed transfer won’t indicate a direct NATO army presence in Ukraine – or nation 404; one thing that’s already a reality on the bottom for fairly some time, regardless of the warmongering hissy matches by Le Petit Roi in Paris (Peskov: “Russia-NATO relations have descended into direct confrontation”).
Now couple the Deadly Looney Tunes spectacle alongside the NATOstan entrance with the Hegemon’s plane service efficiency in West Asia, constantly taking its industrial-scale slaughter/hunger Genocide Venture in Gaza to indescribable heights – the meticulously documented holocaust watched in contorted silence by the “leaders” of the World North.
UN Particular Rapporteur Francesca Albanese appropriately summed all of it up: the biblical psychopathology entity “deliberately killed the WCK staff in order that donors would pull out and civilians in Gaza might proceed to be starved quietly. Israel is aware of Western international locations and most Arab international locations gained’t transfer a finger for the Palestinians.”
The “logic” behind the deliberate three faucet strike on the clearly signed humanitarian convoy of famine-alleviating staff in Gaza was to eviscerate from the information an much more horrendous episode: the genocide-within-a-genocide of al-Shifa hospital, liable for not less than 30% of all well being companies in Gaza. Al-Shifa was bombed, incinerated and had over 400 civilians killed in chilly blood, in a number of circumstances actually smashed by bulldozers, together with medical medical doctors, sufferers and dozens of kids.
Almost concurrently, the biblical psychopathology gang utterly eviscerated the Vienna conference – one thing that even the historic Nazis by no means did – placing Iran’s consular mission/ambassador’s residence in Damascus.
This was a missile assault on a diplomatic mission, having fun with immunity, on the territory of a 3rd nation, in opposition to which the gang just isn’t at conflict. And on prime of it, killing Normal Mohammad Reza Zahedi, commander of the IRGC’s Quds Power in Syria and Lebanon, his deputy Mohammad Hadi Hajizadeh, one other 5 officers, and a complete of 10 individuals.
Translation: an act of terror, in opposition to two sovereign states, Syria and Iran. Equal to the latest terror assault on Crocus Metropolis Corridor in Moscow.
The inevitable query rings round all corners of the lands of the World Majority: how can these de facto terrorists probably get away with all this, time and again?
The sinews of Liberal Totalitarianism
4 years in the past, firstly of what I later certified because the Raging Twenties, we have been starting to look at the consolidation of an intertwined sequence of ideas defining a brand new paradigm. We have been turning into acquainted with notions reminiscent of circuit breaker; damaging suggestions loop; state of exception; necropolitics; and hybrid neofascism.
As the last decade marches on, our plight might not less than have been alleviated by a twin glimmer of hope: the drive in the direction of multipolarity, led by the Russia-China strategic partnership, with Iran taking part in a key half, and all that coupled with the overall breakdown, reside, of the “rules-based worldwide order”.
But to affirm there will probably be a protracted and winding highway forward is the Mom of All Euphemisms.
So, to cite Bowie, the final word late, nice aesthete: The place Are We Now? Let’s take this very sharp evaluation by the all the time participating Fabio Vighi at Cardiff College and tweak it a bit additional.
Anybody making use of vital pondering to the world round us can really feel the collapse of the system. It’s a closed system alright, simply definable as Liberal Totalitarianism. Cui bono? The 0.0001%.
Nothing ideological about that. Observe the cash. The defining damaging suggestions loop is definitely the debt loop. A criminally anti-social mechanism saved in place by – what else – a psychopathology, as acute because the one exhibited by the biblical genocidals in West Asia.
The Mechanism is enforced by a triad.
- The transnational monetary elite, the superstars of the 0.0001%.
- Proper beneath it, the politico-institutional layer, from the U.S. Congress to the European Fee (EC) in Brussels, in addition to comprador elite “leaders” throughout the World North and South.
- The previous “intelligentsia”, now primarily hacks for rent from media to academia.
This institutionalized hyper-mediatization of actuality is (italics mine), in reality, The Mechanism.
It’s this mechanism that managed the merging of the pre-fabricated “pandemic” – full with hardcore social engineering offered as “humanitarian lockdowns” – into, as soon as once more, Endlessly Wars, from Venture Genocide in Gaza to the Russophobia/cancel tradition obsession inbuilt in Venture Proxy Struggle in Ukraine.
That’s the essence of Totalitarian Normality: the Venture for Humanity by the appallingly mediocre, self-appointed Nice Reset “elites” of the collective West.
Killing them softly with AI
A key vector of the entire mechanism is the direct, vicious interconnection between a tecno-military euphoria and the hyper-inflationary monetary sector, now in thrall with AI.
Enter, for example, AI fashions reminiscent of ‘Lavender’, examined on the bottom within the Gaza killing discipline lab. Actually: synthetic intelligence programming the extermination of people. And it’s occurring, in actual time. Name it Venture AI Genocide.
One other vector, already experimented, is inbuilt within the oblique assertion by poisonous EC Medusa Ursula von der Lugen: primarily, the necessity to produce weapons as Covid vaccines.
That’s on the core of a plan to make use of funding of the EU by European taxpayers to “improve financing” of “joint contracts for weapons”. That’s an offspring of von der Lugen’s push to roll out Covid vaccines – a huge Pfizer-linked rip-off for which she is about to be investigated and arguably uncovered by the EU’s Public Prosecutor Workplace. In her personal phrases, addressing the proposed weapons rip-off: “We did this for vaccines and gasoline.”
Name it Weaponization of Social Engineering 2.0.
Amidst all of the motion on this huge corruption swamp, the Hegemon agenda stays fairly blatant: to maintain its – dwindling – predominantly thalassocratic, army hegemony, it doesn’t matter what, as the idea for its monetary hegemony; defend the U.S. greenback; and defend these unmeasurable, unpayable money owed in U.S. {dollars}.
And that brings us to the tawdry financial mannequin of turbo-capitalism, as offered by collective West media hacks: the debt loop, digital cash, borrowed continuous to cope with “autocrat” Putin and “Russian aggression”. That’s a key by-product of Michael Hudson’s searing evaluation of the FIRE (Finance-Insurance coverage-Actual Property) syndrome.
Ouroboros intervenes: the serpent bites its personal tail. Now the inherent folly of The Mechanism is inevitably main on line casino capitalism to resort to barbarism. Undiluted savagery – of the Crocus Metropolis Corridor type and of the Venture Gaza Genocide type.
And that’s how The Mechanism engenders establishments – from Washington to Brussels to hubs throughout the World North to genocidal Tel Aviv – stripped right down to the standing of psychotic killers, on the mercy of Massive Finance/FIRE (oh, such fabulous seafront actual property alternatives out there in “vacant” Gaza.)
How can we probably escape such folly? Will we have now the desire and the self-discipline to observe Shelley’s imaginative and prescient and, in “this dim huge vale of tears”, summon the transcending Spirit of Magnificence – and concord, equanimity and justice?
