Could the economic chaos which ripped through the markets this week mark the beginning of the end of the Liberal West?
Well, one can always hope!
The crisis, is far from over, the root of the crisis, is the mountain of debt on which we sit, there is the hundreds of trillions of mortgage debt, the trillions of credit card debt, the trillions that is owed by government, the hundreds of trillions of unsecured derivatives, the tens of trillions owed by government (ie:us) to keep the welfare states afloat, that is a lot of debt.
The collapse of Lehman's, AIG, HBOS and Merill Lynch were only the symptoms of the problem, the problem is that we can't possibly pay all this debt back, no chance! What we face is civilisational bankruptcy, many of us personally face bankruptcy as well. No amount of government interventions can stop it, well it could have, but they would have had to intervene ten or twenty years ago to make borrowing harder and saving easier and more profitable, they would have had to reform the welfare state and commit the state to being debt free, but as we know that did not happen, because that is the fundamental weakness of a democracy, the politicians are focused, not on our future, but on how they can get reelected in two or four of five years time, democracy is doomed to death by its own most glaring weakness, its inability to think of the next generation.
So we have all had a great time buying rubbish we don't need with money we didn't earn and all we now have is debt, strangely in the preceding twenty years, debt was sold as an asset, now banks and other financial institutions realise what everyone else instinctively knows, debt is debt, it ain't an asset. So debt is harder to trade, those stuck with bad debt are being dragged down as house prices come back to Earth, how the mighty have fallen!
It's not only the banks and governments who are to blame, although they have earned the most lavish contempt, it is all of us who bought into this scam, everyone who has a credit card they can't manage, everyone who bought a house they couldn't afford, everyone who took out loans for things they didn't need, all of us are culpable and are now getting our just desserts.
I say this as someone who did all the above, except the unmanageable mortgage thing, but thankfully I have got out of credit card debt and most of the loan.
To think people were taking out loans for a holiday!! What is that? Pure stupidity, loans should only be for something that will profit you and yours, like a car or a start up loan or something similar, it should provide you with something tangible and lasting, not some photos and sunburn!
The last time we faced such a crisis was in 1929, I think we are facing something far worse then that, at least then most people stayed within their means and saved what little they could, most people didn't own their own houses, so mortgage debt wasn't as monstrous as now, most people could do real things, such as grow veggies and cook, and clean and make things, such as clothes and chairs and tables and such like, very few people can do that now, we can programme something or flip burgers or do things online, very few of us could do easily what our grandparents and great grand parents did daily.
The Depression almost marked the end of democracy, this upcoming depression could kill it once and for all, this may be the moment we have been waiting for! The next few years could be years of political ferment, we could see the rise of nasty totalitarians, leftists, neo-NAZIs and the like, we must be ready in the next decade or so to take our own advantage, to propose a return to faith and tradition, and the rejection of mass democracy.
Of course our elites would try as best they could to fight all the anti-democrats to retain power, they could themselves become the new totalitarians, not something I think is beyond the realms of reality, these people have been in the business of banning things since at least the beginning of the twentieth century.
So, we shall see in the next few weeks and months how this turns out, how bad it will actually get, myself, I hope it is really bad, I hope the whole system is shaken down, that as many big businesses as possible go under, that as many governments as possible fall and that in their new found poverty the masses can wake up to the reality of what has been happening over the past fifty or sixty years, what our rulers have done to us.
Then and only then will we have a chance to restore our nations.

The end of the Liberal West?
Tuesday, 9 September 2008
Virtue and Sin
In my last post, I was a trifle simplistic in what I described about Russia and America,
So just to make more clear what I meant, I will attempt a better explanation!
Russia is not saintly, it is not yet holy, it is a nation scarred by 80 years of brutal atheistic communism, genocidal wars, famines and fear. Russia and the Russians do seem to have a fear of the west, a fear that is sometimes unjustified and can be as irrational as the Russophobia displayed in certain parts of the west.
When I make the point that America is the real threat to the west culturally, I should have made myself clearer. There are many Americans not a part of this threat, but most of the recent degeneracies we are facing were birthed in America, whether it is the 'gay rights' movement that started in the 'Stonewall Riots' a grand name for a pub fight! Abortion on demand which I know was not invented in America, but due to Americas dominance of TV and film, it is Americans who are the chief promoters of it even here in Ireland.
Modern feminism, which seems to be a political form of lesbianism, started in 60s America, and has been disseminated since then via American TV programmes and Hollywood films. Divorce, again the chief promoter of divorce are the hundreds of Americans TV programmes beamed into Irish homes, it took a long time for this propaganda to convince us, but convince us it did and we voted for divorce in the 90s!
I'm not trying to say Americans should not defend their home and hearth, that is admirable, what I'm saying is that there is another America, the America of the Sodomites, the feminist man-haters, the Christ haters, the pornographers, the lawless men who hide behind 'freedom of speech', which I don't think was meant to protect pornography or public displays of sodomy, but which nonetheless is invoked by the degenerate to shut 'conservatives' up.
The lawless amoral elite who rule America, use America's traditions against their own, I'm not talking of the revolutionary tradition, an oxymoron of a phrase if ever there was one!!
America's traditions are basically English traditions, refined and mixed to make a uniquely American tradition, decency, friendliness, freedom, the real sort, not an unlicensed ability to spread smut, but the right to question things to discuss religion and politics without fear of being gaoled, something we now no longer have.
America is where much of the inspiration for the European left has emanated from, whether it was 'civil rights', 'feminism', 'anti-westernism', 'pro-Islamism', anti-Christianity', 'gay rights', 'reproductive rights', 'immigrant rights', open borders and the deification of the barbarians without. All of this already had been seeded in Europe, but due to the flowering of the left in Sixties America and the dominance America has had in the media since then, it has inspired much evil in Europe and across the world.
I don't know whether Putin is a sincere Christian or not, I have heard both that he is and he is not, both could be true, however what Putin does realise, is that Christianity is vital for Russia's rebirth as a nation, it is indispensable for the salvation of his people, and he seems to know that.
Christianity in America is under attack, it is maligned and mocked, it is ridiculed, and faithful Christians made to feel like fools, and wicked fools at that. It is true of the west as a whole, Christianity is either mocked and ridiculed or defamed as racist, nasty, imperialist or the favorite insult 'intolerant'.
The Anglicans and some other non-apostolic churches have decided to join the anti-Christian bandwagon, they apologise for slavery, apologise for all of the sins we are accused of by Marxist anti-Christs. I suppose for some Christians it is too much of a burden to be outside the self righteous camp, the people who have appointed themselves our conscience, grieving, or at least appearing to grieve(in front of the cameras of course) for all of our collective sins.
Christ and salvation are irrelevant to these people, looking good is what they are after, the Anglicans now have atheist bishops! Atheist Bishops!!! They have practicing homosexual vicars and one famous sodomite Bishop in America! I watched him in a BBC interview and he was shameless about his sodomy, absolutely shameless!
They have women priests, so I suppose they are priestesses, right? I have listened to some of these priestesses and they don't seem very interested in Jesus or salvation, they seem more interested in sexism and poor Somalian refugees!
And then we have the Russian Orthodox Church, no sodomites there, well at least no sodomites that parade their perversions for everyone to see! The Russian Orthodox Church condemned last years Moscow Gay Pride, some Orthodox Priests attended the Gay Pride and were wearing full vestments holding up the Bible and condemning the sodomites and leading their people against the perverts and their western backers such as Peter Tatchell, that is what Catholic and Anglican priests should be doing in Dublin and London and Paris and San Francisco, they should be brave, just as the Russian priests are.
No cultural cringing for the Russian Church, no, it is the Church in Russia that saved much of it's culture from the Bolsheviks, no apologies for Russians being Russians!
No priestesses, no trendy church 'services', none of that modern none sense for the Russian Church, it is a truly conservative operation, old vestments, old prayers, old hymns, old masses, tradition and a pride in Holy Mother Russia.
This is one of the reasons I have hope for Russia, much more hope then America which I fear is too far gone, too degraded to save. I hope in Russia because I hope for Europe, I hope we can see the errors of our ways and if we need help to restore ourselves, that Russia can be both an inspiration to us and possibly a very real ally in helping us rid ourselves of the barbarians within.
I know I rambled a bit, and I know it seems I'm obsessed with Russia at the moment, but I do think this is vitally important, we must not jeopardise our future for a silly and misplaced present day pride. We will not be where we are for too much longer, we have hard times coming and need to start choosing our friends for the hard times, Russia is the one friend that will prove indispensable.

A New Cold War?
If we are indeed to have a new Cold War as many American pundits seem to be dreaming of, I know with whom I will stand. Holy Mother Russia!
The leaders of the west are spineless worms, unworthy of our great heritage, they have continually betrayed us, they have sold us out, they scorn us and our past. They are the ultimate anti-westerners.
Russia is a Christian nation, it is a true nation, not like the hollowed out states that pass for nations in the west anymore.
I despised the Soviet Union, mainly because of the spiritual rape it committed on the Russian people, the new Russia is not the Soviet Union.
Russia, one of the last European nations to stand up for itself, it is being threatened and bullied by the very same monsters who threaten and bully us, Russia is our most natural of allies, we must work with Russia in this new 'Cold War', it is the leaders of the west and especially the leadership of the United States that are the true threat to the continuity of our culture, our 'way of life'.
The hypocrisy of the American administration is stupefying, they condemn Russia for recognising Abkhazia and South Ossetia, yet do not seem to think their illegal and immoral betrayal of the Serbs over Kosovo is not many times worse, what are these people smoking?
In all our travails, we at least have one true ally, that is Russia.
God save Holy Mother Russia!

Will you be the saviour of the broken and the damned?
I was thinking about where we are, the possibility of losing everything, the betrayal of our children we could be committing.

Debt as Money
The following video explain money, and how it comes to be. I used to wonder at those admonitions not to accept or commit usury in Scripture, it seemed a bit odd and out of date, 'old fashioned' if you will. How wrong I was!
Over the past year or so, I have learned quite a bit about money and debt, but this is the most concise and clear explanation so far.
It is well worth the 45 minutes!

Who are we?
We are orphans, subjects of wicked men who claim they 'care' for us, we are lost, walking in the darkness, in the ruins of what was once a glorious civilisation. We are a people lost in our dreams, hoping one day, we can awake to a reality much like our dreams.
But our waking lives are a nightmare, we struggle to survive, despised by our rulers, loathed by the elite, who seek our dissolution, they sponsor a wave of human migration, the likes the world has never seen, they sponsor violence against us and ours.
We are told we are evil and wicked, we are mocked, or fathers are condemned as wicked, by those who rule us with a rod, a rod of fear, of threatened violence.
We are a people separated from our past, from our forefathers, from the glories of Europe before the great slaughter of the First World War, the suicide of the west.
We are peoples wandering, without roots, without hope, drenched in grief and mourning for this lost world. Most of us can't explain why we feel this way, most find it difficult to express our loss, our grief.
We hear this grief in our music, we sense it all around us, but cant define it.
The world has been through many terrible griefs, we have seen many terrible things, we have toiled and bled, we have fought and many have died, many of those who have died, died in vain, but nothing can compare to the fratricide unleashed in 1914.
In those terrible years we were marked, like Cain, we are cursed.
We seek a saviour, a messiah, and all to many times we have sought solace in false Messiahs, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, De Gaulle, Thatcher, Blair and now Obama, at other times we have sought saviours in 'democracy', 'human rights' and in discarding our past, our faith and morality, what fools we are, what desperation we must feel.
And yet, we still have our dreams, as weak as they are, as demoralised as we are, there is still a spark of goodness there, a point of light, a hope.
This hope is not in politics, it is not in arguing with our enemies, it is not in letter writing or pointless protests, it is not in powerless 'constitutional monarchies', it is in our souls, in our spirits, our peoples, the men of the west.
We are weak, many of us still believe vainly in 'democracy', but if we can get past this, just a small minority can change things, how many men were involved in instigating the French Revolution? Or the Russian Revolution? Not many, a few thousand at most, they led, they seized power from weakened governments, they did not campaign for election, they took power, not that I like the Jacobins or Bolsheviks in any way, I despise them and their works. But we must take lessons from their exploits, if we are ever to be serious, we need to discard our antique and unthinking belief in 'democracy' or voting or trying to convince the majority, the majority will always just go along with the way things are, we must think the unthinkable!
We are a lost people, a rudderless sham of a civilisation, if we don't do something serious soon, even that shadow of what we once were will be gone.
It's time for a counterrevolution.

Monarchy in Georgia?
Gerald Warner in the Telegraph suggests that a restoration of their ancient monarchy may be the way to definitively show their separateness from Russia, seems not a bad idea to me, especially if it means the ousting of that oaf Saakashvilli!
Mr Warner seems to be thinking of a King Juan Carlos situation, myself, I would hope any restoration of monarchy would be a genuine restoration of political power and influence to a king, not some excuse for glorified tourist tat!
The Catholicos of the Georgian Church, Ilia II has suggested a restoration of the monarchy, causing debate among the various parties in the Georgian Parliament.
The problem with most 'Constitutional Monarchs', is that they are in fact, not very 'constitutional' at all, they are absent monarchs or plastic monarchs. Kings and queens without power sidelined by bitter republicans who resent the symbolism they represent. Too many monarchs are imprisoned, imprisoned at the politicians pleasure, with the Sword of Damocles hanging over them, the slime ball politicos ready and waiting for an excuse to abolish that monarchy.
What I would like to see, is a King of Georgia with powers similar to those the Princes of Monaco and Lichtenstein wield, that to me is a proper constitutional monarchy, one where the monarch works as part of the constitution, not as a fancy decoration.
I hope that Georgia can use this defeat to right itself, to restore it's rightful king and depose that American stooge Saakashvilli, then perhaps it can seek friendship with Holy Mother Russia and the wounds opened over the past few decades and the war fought over the last fortnight can be consigned to memory.
