Deeper Down The Western Elites’ Rabbit Hole
The examples of the Western elite fever dream warping their thinking have multiplied at an extraordinary rate in the past few days and I simply cannot cover all of the main ones in a single post, so there will be a later post with the examples that would have made this post far too long.
Just when you think that the Western elites cannot sink any lower, they prove otherwise. The level of rank hypocrisy and utter pettiness reminds us that we are dealing with the equivalent of a child throwing a tantrum because they cannot get their own way. How dare Russia not collapse under our sanctions! How dare the Russians shoot down our drone spying off their coast! How dare the Chinese support the Russians! How dare the Russians and Chinese work to bring peace to the Middle East! … The list of “why can’t you accept that we are the ‘Massa’” style reactions accumulate day after day. The Western garden is annoyed that the trees in the non-Western forest will not bow down to it and accept it as their guide to what a good civilization is (this reminds me of the scene in the Lord of the Rings where the Ents uproot themselves and join the fight against Mordor by attacking Isengard).
All of the Western elite propaganda actions are part of the playbook for any nation that stands up to the West; make the country and its leadership look as horrendous as possible through extensive media control and the use of civil puppet institutions to smear them. That’s how you get a population to go to war with the enemies of the Western elites, to shed their blood and their money for the benefit of the elites. For now, it is the blood of the Ukrainians, a nation that is slowly being depopulated of its young able-bodied men, but as this approach seems to be failing Western young men’s lives may be the next to be squandered. Of course, the reality is that there are at least 20,000 “sheep dipped” Polish military personnel already in Ukraine (at least 2,000 of which have died) as well as significant numbers of other sheep-dipped “mercenaries” and special forces personnel.
The ICC indicts Putin for saving children’s lives
The Polish President of the Interminable Criminal Court (yeah, I bet he is unbiased against Russians) announces the indictment of President Putin for the “crime” of transferring children beyond the reach of murderous Ukrainian artillery salvoes aimed directly at civilian areas and the retribution of Ukrainian fascist organizations. The British Prosecutor of the ICC, who will have led the investigation stitch-up is also the brother of a convicted paedophile (you really can’t make this stuff up!). As Russia is not a signatory to the ICC this is all just propaganda pantomime BS. This is the same ICC that the US is not a signatory to and has threatened to invade the Hague if any US citizen is tried there! The ICC could also be called the International Colonial Court given its predilection for taking down African politicians. It is certainly a Western organ of dominance given its’ studied blindness to Western crimes. The ICC found the President of Serbia not guilty of war crimes, but only after he had died suspiciously in The Hague under their detention! The Mississippi courts of the 1950s could have learnt a few tricks from the ICC!
A German Idiot/Minister states Putin will be arrested if her enters Germany
The German Federal Minister of Justice decided to open his mouth and ruin any hope of a future relationship with Russia even more by stating that he would arrest Putin if he entered Germany given the above ICC propagandist ruling. He could have just kept his mouth shut and demurred if questioned on this, but no he had to stand up to show what a complete tool he is. Just like the idiot Canadian elites who ruined their relationship with China when they arrested kidnapped Meng Wanzhou and were then shafted by the US administration who made a deal with China. That’s what happens to mere supplicants, they are seen as expendable by their master; the Germans don’t seem to have learnt this lesson yet.
NATO asks for Russia and Belarus to be thrown out of the Olympics
A whole bunch of countries asked the International Olympic Committee to ban Russia and Belarus from the next Olympics. When looked at closely the list of nations is basically NATO countries plus NATO wannabees, so basically NATO asked the IOC to ban a country they are having a war with (and one not actually involved in the Ukraine War). Perhaps a better solution would be to move the Olympics from France, who put their name to the list and are to all intents and purposes an active participant in the Ukraine War, to a neutral nation and declare the Olympics politics free. If those nations want to ban themselves from the Olympics that’s up to them. Maybe the IOC should have done that when NATO illegally bombed Serbia, NATO countries illegally invaded Iraq and when NATO destroyed Libya etc.? The hypocrisy is redolent.
Perhaps also, the Olympics should be moved away from France given the obvious disregard of the French President for his people through extensive police violence and ruling by decree to ram through an increase in the pension age that 75% of the French people are against:

A Canadian Idiot/Minister Calls for Russian Regime Change
Yes, I am a Canadian and have to watch my leaders commit what accounts to treason, acting against the national interest, again and again. They are like sock puppets with Uncle Sam’s hand up their arses, it is utterly pathetic. But one of the worst has to be Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Joly, who mixes incompetence with being a US puppet. A civil and commercial lawyer, an MP for only 7 years and with previous positions of Canadian Heritage (3 years), Tourism (1 year), and Economic Development (2 years). Hardly a deep career in diplomacy to be able to deal with giants like Lavrov (Russian Foreign Minister) and Wang (China)! Then again, we have a Prime Minister whose main previous experience was as a drama teacher and a Ukrainian nationalist (also a previous minister of foreign affairs), as Finance Minister. Of course, the US doesn’t set a high bar with an ex speech writer as Secretary of State.
Well, Ms. Joly proved her metal by doing exactly what diplomats are explicitly not supposed to do, say the quiet bit out loud! Calling for explicit regime change in Russia! I wish we could have regime change in Canada, but all of the main parties are captured by the Western fever dream.
The US Trump Fever Dream
Matching the external fever dream of the US establishment is their internal Trump Fever Dream. Just as in the international area, every move the establishment takes seems to make their enemy, Trump, stronger. The completely unneeded raid on Trump’s Mar-el-Lago estate supposedly to go after “secret” papers ended up shining a light on the breaches of security by Biden with respect to “secret” papers and the partisan nature of the state; with no “gotcha” to discredit or imprison Trump. Now we have a New York district attorney who seems to have spent the last few years trying not to prosecute people while working overtime to find something, anything, on Trump to prosecute. As Elon Musk stated quite correctly, an indictment of Trump on this flimsy case that stretches the bounds of the law could bring Trump a landslide in 2024.
This inter-elite war, between the internationalist bourgeoisie who give little thought to a true reinvigoration of US manufacturing (that would significantly reduce their profits) or the US population (their response to the East Palestine eco-disaster displays this lack of caring, reminding us of Obama’s show of disdain with respect to the Flint water crisis of 2014 – watch the video, below, did he even sip that water?) and the domestic bourgeoisie who rely on domestic real estate, domestic extractive industries and what’s left of domestic manufacturing has ripped the mask of the US elite. The capitalist-controlled state and media which previously only aimed their wrath at the workers and economically leftist politicians, is now being used in an attempt to crush a capitalist domestic competitor. But after seven plus years of “Russia, Russia, Russia”, “Trump soft on Russia”, and “Trump is corrupt” and more generally “Trump Bad”, The Donald is the front-runner for the Republican nomination to run against Biden(?) in 2024.
Expect the US internationalist establishment to get more and more desperate as time goes on, Trump should stay away from open topped cars in any large spaces ending in “Plaza”. Their desperate acts may only expose them more and strengthen Trump more. If the establishment can awake from its Trump fever dream, we may see an “arrangement” where some senior Democrats are thrown to the wolves to protect the whole. Perhaps the Biden Crime Family plus a few others get thrown under the bus, with Biden himself conveniently non compos mentis. A Hunter show trial may serve to feed the retributive thirsts of the Trump supporters, while the lurid details of “Chinese interference and bribery” will serve to vilify China. The details of Ukrainian corruption could also be used as a smokescreen to exit the Ukrainian stupidity. The timing would also be good for the establishment to move on from their failure in Ukraine and focus fully on China; something that Trump would be happy to do. Let’s remember though, Trump is a billionaire capitalist who mimics a populist politician while really not giving a damn about the US people, what he really cares about is his domestic assets; and going after China.
A Ray of Light: Taiwan Now Only Recognized By 0.49% of the Global Population
El Salvador has now removed its recognition of Taiwan and accepted China as the true representative of all of China, including the province of Formosa. Only 12 of the tiniest of the 193 nations of the world now recognize Taiwan as an independent nation, with pretty much all of them being in the Caribbean (Guatemala, Haiti, Belize etc.), South America (Paraguay) or are Western-dominated tiny Pacific island nations (Marshall Islands, Palau, Tuvalu, Naura). Of course, this will do nothing to stop the US trying to stir up trouble with China over Taiwan, but it does help remove even more of the diplomatic cover, now if only Guatemala and Paraguay could do the same …
Xi Jinping Visit to Moscow
The ongoing tightening of the relationship between China and Russia continues onwards, driven by the Western elites’ rising fever dream. The formal visit of Xi to Moscow and the contents of the public announcements and press conferences show that China understands that its support for Russia is existential to both nations. The West cannot be allowed to divide and conquer, with an example of Chinese support being Russia’s move to #1 oil supplier to China ousting Saudi Arabia; so much for the Western attempts to control Russia’s oil exports. China (and India) will be the beneficiaries of Russian hydrocarbons rather than Europe; with ongoing work to expand Russia gas supplies to China through pipelines and LNG tankers.
It does seem that the Western elites thought that the ICC indictment of Putin would stop Xi travelling to Russia, perhaps that was even the main reason for the sudden indictment? The utterly delusional nature of this is evident to anyone outside the fever dream. They really thought that a China which is seeing increasing hostility from the West is going to undermine its biggest ally because of an indictment by the Western kangaroo court in The Hague? The Chinese snub of the ICC will play very well in Africa, with the West delivering a propaganda win for China outside the West. The utter delusions and hypocrisy of the Western elites is shown in their pathetic denunciations of Xi’s visit, while all their crimes are conveniently not investigated by the ICC. Russia will also have won in the non-West as it stands up to the ICC and moves to indict the ICC sock puppets involved in constructing this fact-challenged indictment. In his recent statement.
Secretary of State Blinken recently condemned the China visit to Russia, using the ICC ruling as flimsy support for his statements. He accused the Ethiopian government (the one that overthrew the Western puppet regime) of war crimes, reminding Africa of the games that the US plays in legitimizing its’ acts of aggression against those that will not say “uncle”; gold for the leaders who accept US dominance and lead for those that do not. The fact that the US State Department considers that it can judge the rest of the world on human rights, while being the biggest violator of them (Iraq, Rendition and Torture program, Occupation of Syria, mass imprisonment at home), shows utter hubris, hypocrisy, and mendacity.
With the tight alliance now including Iran and Belarus, and China and Russia’s influence spreading throughout the non-Western world (e.g. their negotiating of a peace deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia) and the Ukraine war going Russia’s way, time is on their side. The rumoured peace deal being negotiated by Russia between Turkey, Iran and Syria would underline the very significant loss of influence for the West in the MENA region.
In the area of foreign relations, the relative size of official foreign visits can tell us a lot. The Brazilian President’s visit to the US was spartan, while the upcoming trip to China is much bigger: with a very large business contingent. Brazil is open for business with China. Although Lula has to tread carefully it seems with respect to the Ukraine war belligerents (although short of implementing sanctions) he is carefully balancing between the West and non-West while understanding the inevitable decline of the former with respect to the latter.
The reception for Chinese and Russian visits to Africa has also been visibly warmer than that for Western delegations; with Macron being treated with relative disdain. Neocolonial bullies only apologize when they have been severely beaten, and Macron’s speech promising “profound humility” toward Africa (although perhaps just propaganda) is a statement of France’s much weakened position in that continent. Below are a couple of excellent presentations by Cyrus Janssen covering why the US is losing its’ position in Africa and Latin America; in two words - arrogance and hubris.
All fuel for the Western fever dream, which will only intensify the China, Russia, Belarus, Iran alliance, and force other nations to pick a side. They will tend to pick the side they see winning, and that is increasingly not the West.
