Separatism and 21st Century Anti-Imperialism

 

    Interestingly we have recently seen Russian state media produce a piece that highlights many of the issues we have been discussing on this blog since the advent of Occupy Wall Street twelve years ago. Because of the current crisis in Ukraine, fuelled by a separatist movement in the Donbas (something which gets universally overlooked in western media these days), Russian media is finally discussing why there is a rise of separatism around the world:

Kosovo, Donbass and Catalonia are famous examples, but do you realize how many countries have problems with separatism?

    This article correctly highlights that in many ways the rapidly increasing rise of separatism is a reaction to the past 30 years of hyper globalization and the attempt to force the entire world under a one-world system. It is an inherent urge of most peoples to want to exercise sovereignty over themselves and their lands.

    The failure of large centralised bodies of power is only accelerating and not decreasing as we move further into the 21st Century. The political crises that now stretch from Lebanon to the Punjab, in the central part of Asia, highlight this to a great degree. In Europe we see the European Union’s disintegration accelerating, which is leading it to engage in desperate acts of expansion in a vain hope this will hold it together. This trend is largely what has fuelled the rising conflict in Eastern Europe centered in Ukraine.

    Amazingly this article also ends by making the very point we have long made on this blog only it does so from the opposite end. It sees Separatism as a “problem” that can only be fixed with Imperialism. Indeed the opposite of nationalism and sovereignty is indeed Imperialism. Therefore this very clearly shows that finally the left and right wing working class should be able to unite around a common core of anti imperialism. Restoring a robust anti imperialist movement is long overdue in the world at the moment. Imperialism is actually the problem, which is fuelling the global financial collapse, the ecological crisis and the relentlessly increasing scale of armed conflict and its resultant refugees. The solution to this is for organized political movements to start supporting separatists wherever they may be. From Kurdistan to Khalistan to Texas, this is the future that awaits the latter half of the 21st Century. 

    As we build this anti imperialist movement we must also avoid the trap of the duality of saying “Empire X is bad therefore Empire Y that contests it must be good”. ALL the empires must be rejected. ALL empires are evil empires. This is not even due to some cabal of super villains sitting at the hearts of these empires plotting to be the most evil world leader ever. It is simply a result of the mechanism of expropriation and conquest that must occur for any empire to exist to begin with. The solution to this is to reject all the major empires simultaneously. 

    In the Middle East, where the duality has been trapping everyone into feeling that the only way to resist the atrocities of the Sunni Islamic Caliphate is to support a broadening Shia empire across the region, this has lead to many social activist groups finding themselves incapable of working together. Working class Alawites in Syria or working class Arabs in Palestine cannot offer support to working class revolutionaries in Iran because they see the fall of the Shia Empire as opening a door to their own decimation at the hands of the Caliphate Empire or the Israeli colonial project. A solution to this is to instead support the model that has been proposed here. Separatist movements across the region can stand in solidarity together against all empires.

    On the global scale the three major empires mentioned in the article the United States and its satellite EU, China and Russia can be rejected simultaneously and safely dismembered into much more healthy constituent nations. This will serve to alleviate the energy crisis and the ridiculously fragile supply chains that the giant empires require to subsist. 

    There is a fourth empire that has been pushing to establish itself at this moment of inflection. This is the internationalists and their attempt to create a one world single empire. Through beaurcratic institutions like the World Economic Forum and the World Government Summit they seek to develop a single unified global policy. Klaus Schwab at the latest World Government Summit even had the audacity to deliver a “State of the World” address as if he was some self appointed world Vizier. In that speech he gushed over the technology finally arriving that would allow those gathered to become “Masters of the World”. As we can see he is still locked into a dominator mind set.

    Astonishingly it was actually Elon Musk at the conference who brought up another great argument against a one-world empire. An argument we have made previously here.

    The risk to the current system of not being able to survive exogenous shocks, now that it is over centralised and over complicated, has been increasingly getting higher. Any doubt that this is a risk should have been put to rest in the pandemic. When this group attempted to use single, one size fits all, policies across the world at the same time, to deal with the Pandemic, it lead to the chaos and disaster we have been living through the past 3 years. Their inability to understand that different cultural regions will require different policy prescriptions was clear to see for all. A heavily centralised imperial project will undoubtedly end in total collapse and another round of ‘mysterious’ ruins, like Athens, Persepolis or Thebes, will be left for future humans to wonder about. If we are lucky enough to survive as a species.

    The better option is to truly celebrate difference and diversity. Allow separatism to spread around the globe as a panacea to Globalisation and intensive internationalism, and have better firewalls between the decentralised global elements so as to prevent crises of hegemony like the one we saw in the global economy in 2008 or global healthcare in 2020.

    This was something that the left wing in western civilisation was pushing for a great deal in the years between 1995 to 2004 with their anti globalization movement. Interestingly, since the Trump movement in the United States and especially since the Covid policy failure fiasco, this is something that increasingly many on the right wing in the west are also open to accepting needs to be changed now. A unique moment in history is therefore at hand to bring these disparate groups together under an anti Imperialist banner.

Dr StrangeJab or: How I Learned to Love the Vax Pass

  At the moment in Australia we are seeing more and more bizarre logic, like that represented in this tweet, bandied around regarding the concept of vaccine passports and segregating the vaccinated away from the unvaccinated. 

Again if you’re an anti - vaxxer & want absolute freedom to do what you want from not wearing a mask to no vaccination, that’s your right. It’s also right of others to say “I cannot be safe around you so you cannot come into my pub, workplace, home etc.” Choices have consequences

— Kon Karapanagiotidis (@Kon__K) September 7, 2021

Its even more egregious when it is coming from individuals who work for human rights organisations like the ASRC who one would think would know better. However leaving aside the many human rights concerns about this current push let us just look at the utterly insane illogic of this mans statement. He claims “I, as a vaccinated person, can not be safe around you as an unvaccinated person”. This is a completely fallacious argument and makes zero sense.

It seems like people are trying to conflate some of the arguments that people were making last year in the masked vs. unmasked people debate. In that argument people were claiming that an unmasked person was a threat as they may leave droplets on surfaces that even a masked person may come into contact with at some point and make them sick. 

If they really believed masks worked however the masked person should have been afforded some level of protection from the unmasked person but there was still logically an avenue of infection transmission that may arise from an unmasked person. Hence the unmasked person is branded a ‘threat’.

This argument completely breaks down however when one moves to vaccination. If one believes the vaccines work then a vaccinated person is completely safe around an unvaccinated person as they have immunity to the disease. Indeed this is why in a vaccine roll out we roll out the vaccine to health care workers first, so they are protected from the ill unvaccinated people they are still treating in the early stages of a vaccine roll out. 

If you are vaccinated then an unvaccinated person is absolutely no risk to you. Indeed that is the entire point to the vaccination to begin with. So why is there a rush to make out that unvaccinated people are some sort of plague carrying unclean caste in society? It is extremely bizarre.

Even if you want to argue that, as is definitely the case with this generation of vaccines, the vaccines themselves do not offer full protection from being able to catch the virus, this still does not make an unvaccinated person an increased risk to you as a vaccinated person. If you believe that the vaccine vastly lowers your risk of severe illness and death, then it is similarly completely safe to be around an unvaccinated person if you are vaccinated. If you do not believe the vaccine offers any such protection then what is the point to the vaccine at all? 

If the vaccine has given you a much better chance to metabolise the disease then in fact it may even be a good thing to be exposed to the disease whilst your vaccination immunity is at its highest. This will be like receiving a free booster shot from the unvaccinated person and after having had your bout with the illness, you will have an even more robust and longer lasting immunity to the disease. 

Indeed in this scenario you as the vaccinated person are a far bigger risk and danger to the unvaccinated person. For if the unvaccinated person were to catch the disease from you as a vaccinated carrier then they have the normal statistical risk of severe disease and death that the disease comes with, whereas you will be able to risk the virus and have the benefits of surviving illness with your vaccine enhanced immunity. So again the question remains what is the point of pretending Vaccinated people are some sort of holier than though caste in society compared with the unvaccinated?

It seems like they are once again conflating another argument in this case. There is an argument that has been used to keep unvaccinated children out of schools and childcare establishments. That argument goes that because in school there are young children who are too young to receive their vaccines yet but they have every intention to when they reach the correct age, that it is unfair to them if an older child who is unvaccinated by choice spreads a disease to them before they have had the opportunity to vaccinate themselves against it. Therefore these older unvaccinated children should be excluded. 

The moral reasoning behind this argument completely breaks down when we are talking about adult populations however. In an adult population if an adult has made the conscious choice not to get vaccinated then the risk is totally on them. If they get sick or die after catching the disease, either from a vaccinated person or another unvaccinated person, that is completely their choice and is no ones fault. Again in this scenario it is still the UNVACCINATED who are at risk not the vaccinated. The vaccinated do not need to be hiding behind castle walls viewing everyone else as a zombie in an utter panic like they currently are. 

About the only logical argument that the vaccinated could have with the unvaccinated is that they are concerned that so many unvaccinated people will get severe illness from the current pandemic that they will fill up all the hospital beds in the hospital system. Then if the vaccinated individual has a car crash, or some sort of health emergency, whilst going about their daily lives then they will not have a bed available to them for treatment to help them. However this is a very different proposition to the way the argument is being framed now, that the unvaccinated are a direct threat to your physical health just by walking into a room and saying hello to you as a vaccinated person. 

Indeed locking the unvaccinated out of your premises and businesses does absolutely nothing to address this issue. Unless you are advocating for euthanising all the unvaccinated, who knows at this point given the utterly unhinged rhetoric we are seeing on social media these days, then the unvaccinated will continue to circulate on the fringes of society, even if you have locked them out, and will have just as much risk of eventually coming into contact with the pathogen, getting sick and filling up those same hospital beds.  So the entire concept of the vaccination passport and the two-tier society yet again makes absolutely no sense from a disease control perspective.  

It seems that the whole thing is some cult like behaviour that has grown up in the pandemic as a combination of bad social media actors and fear of disease; such as we have seen in previous pandemics. Indeed people have started to treat vaccines like they are some black magic talisman in this pandemic and its like wearing garlic around the neck to ward off the evil of the unvaccinated vampires. Its amazingly stupid and illogical and anti science behaviour. 

It has been shocking to see how a nominally sensible country such as Australia has so rapidly devolved into a land of knuckle dragging, mouth breathing Primates who can barely string three coherent thoughts together anymore, in the face of this pandemic. It will be interesting to see if they can get their vaccine passports operational whether they will take the next logical step and begin disemboweling cats to read their entrails and burning witches in the town square.

Greta Thunberg Jumps The Shark

More and more often we are seeing the large corporate social influencer “activists” becoming completely incoherent in their positions on social media. A great case in point is the recent debacle with Greta Thunberg. Greta Thunberg has stirred controversy and protests against her across India in the past few days. This is due to her stated support of the farmers protest movement that is sweeping across the west of India.

The following article lays out the entire affair in great detail: As Fake As Her Tweets

It is interesting to note that yet again a large western social media ‘star’ is commenting on issues in a way that indicates she cannot do any deeper analysis on the cause she is supporting. A large portion of the farmers’ movement has been taken over by a conservative Sikh movement that seeks the independent religious homeland for the Sikhs in Khalistan, based along Punjabi ethnic separatism. 

This movement recently stormed the Red Fort in Delhi as part of their movement. This storming had very similar parallels in its intent, the reaction of the state and the reaction of the wider community in India as the earlier storming of the US capitol had in the United States.

 

Yet a quick purview of Greta Thunberg’s twitter shows a confusing mash of statements about these ideologies. Whilst Greta did not directly comment on the US Capitol event she did retweet this tweet, which indicates at least some support for the ideas contained within. Here the storming of the US capitol is portrayed as a violent event that was tantamount to an attempted coup.

At least 13 people were arrested today in connection to a violent mob that stormed the Capitol as part of an attempted coup.

138 @sunrisemvmt climate activists were arrested during a peaceful sit in of Nancy Pelosi’s office back in Dec 2018.

— Zahra Hirji (@Zhirji28) January 7, 2021

Yet only a few weeks later Greta tweets out regarding the events in India declaring them a ‘peaceful protest’. 

I still #StandWithFarmers and support their peaceful protest.
No amount of hate, threats or violations of human rights will ever change that. #FarmersProtest

— Greta Thunberg (@GretaThunberg) February 4, 2021

This is a ridiculous take to have. The authors of this blog also support the farmers’ movement in India and indeed they support the right of Khalistan to have its self-determination if it wishes. In exactly the same way the Confederate States of America have a right to restore their self-determination if they wish. But we cannot pretend the events in Delhi were peaceful protests. In fact they were the textbook definition of a violent insurrection against the Government. 

Once again we must wonder why western activists are continually pushing a double standard in their perspective on world events. Armed insurrections against sitting governments are perfectly appropriate abroad. Indeed they are considered a human right and much time and effort is put into arming and financially supporting many of these movements. Yet any armed insurrection at home is considered some terrible event that should never be allowed. 

This is a complete continuation of the colonialist mindset. Good ‘western white’ countries never have armed uprisings. Dirty ‘third world brown skinned countries’ are allowed to have coups as their standard operating procedure. Activists have to break this pattern of thinking if we are to hope to have any coherence going forward. All credibility in the activist left is being destroyed currently by this mindset and this action.

We also see Greta has gone even further down this line of reasoning, recently retweeting out support for the protests in Russia in support of Alexei Navalny.

Sometimes I have feeling that we live in occupied territories. Half of city center was "closed down".One man set himself on fire!
More than 4000 people were detained.I don't know what will happen next, but there are lot of us, we are tired of putting up with all this #FreeNavalny pic.twitter.com/OJFTnxK3bF

— Arshak Makichyan (@MakichyanA) January 31, 2021

Again the authors of this blog completely support the right of the citizens of the Far East and Siberian regions of Russia to secede. However that is not what the Navalny movement seeks to do. It is yet again another colour revolution being run by the Western Oligarchy in an attempt to replace Putin with a western backed puppet. In this case Navalny is everything these same groups were claiming for four years that Donald Trump was.  He is a formerly wealthy Russian who campaigned for the “Stop Feeding the Caucasus” campaign and even openly supported the idea that Muslim Caucasians from Chechnya and Dagestan were akin to Cockroaches who should be killed. He is literally a White Supremacist in the Russian context. 

One can imagine a Navalny Presidency in Moscow building a giant wall along the southern borders of Rostov Oblast. Yet here is the darling of the Western Left, Greta, openly supporting his movement.

It is hard to tell if in the social media world it is just too easy to rush into whatever the latest trend is, or if indeed these accounts are being controlled by very strategic, psychological warfare officers of the NATO Empire. Either way, if the left wants to restore any credibility in itself and stop haemorrhaging support to the nascent, so called, Alt  - Right it needs to stop being so ridiculously over the top with its hypocrisy. Greta’s popularity in the third world has taken a massive hit this week as a result of this nonsense. The rest of the Western left would be wise to learn from these mistakes and start thinking more deeply about what they actually ideologically support.

This problem is not just present in the Left either. We have seen recently Rudy Giuliani advocating for an investigation into what is clearly very real election fraud, perpetrated by the Democratic Party in America. Yet he couches it in terms that it is some sort of Communistic plot from the Democrats and lauds himself as a staunch anti Communist campaigner, resisting the fraud. 

Yet this narrative completely ignores the fact that the Democrats clearly do not have anything remotely resembling Marxism in their economic policies. It also fails to explain why such an anti-communist has spent the past five years exuberantly attending all sorts of rallies hosted by the People’s Mujahideen Organisation of Iran, or MEK, a self professed Marxist militia from Iran.  This organisation still maintains the Socialist star and the sickle symbol in its flag. Again this is hypocrisy bordering on black comedy.

Modern politicians, of all sides, current propensity to not stay true to their professed ideologies and to just go with whoever pays them the most is causing an increasing era of instability. We must find a way to restore some semblance of ideological coherence, if we want to once again be able to make actual and sensible changes for the current world system going forward. Simply following hack rhetorical movements from social media is not going to get us there. Greta has lost huge amounts of credibility in the past month with her social media footprint.

The ability to do a tiny amount of background checking on issues that one follows on Social Media should surely not be too hard for many to begin doing, before they just herd into movements they think they support blindly. Indeed it has been this dynamic that has caused so many to go along with the hugely damaging herd thinking around the lockdowns and the Covid pandemic and this instance with Greta is a great example of how this current social dynamic is working.

Hypocrisy of the United States Corporate Left

 It's amazing the massive hypocrisy of the new Woke Washing Faux Left that we have seen take over political discourse in the United States and by extension Britain and the remaining English speaking colonies such as Canada and Australia. 

When a bunch of hungry, religiously conservative, rural separatists stormed a Government building in America a few weeks back the entire global media sphere went into meltdown bleating about it.

Scenes from DC right now. They’ve raised the confederate flag outside the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/MAVv4a6DSA

— Rebecca Tan (@rebtanhs) January 6, 2021

Yet when a bunch of hungry, religiously conservative,  rural separatists stormed a Government building in India a few days ago the same bleating media class literally said nothing. NOTHING. Nothing for it or against it. They literally didn't mention it at all as if India does not count. 

It's becoming more and more clear that the Western Left ARE actually the Colonialist force they pretend they are trying to decolonise the world from. In a decolonised world there are no 'First World' and 'Third World' issues. There are only universal issues. So to pretend that only things in the 'First World' count is exactly the sort of colonial thinking we are supposed to be stamping out on the left and yet the Corporate Faux Left hegemony is doing everything but that. All it is doing is Woke Washing the same imperial colonial system in the hopes that it can buy another decade or so for that system to survive. 

For those who truly want some lasting and fundamental change in the world they are going to have to reform this way of thinking and viewing the world in themselves as a first step on this path. 

If scenes such as this are acceptable in Washington DC: 

Then so too are scenes such as this: 

In a further irony we saw recently in Washington DC Black Lives Matter protestors do this to the Ghandi statue in DC: 

This was followed up a few months later by the DC division of the Khalistan movement following in kind:

It seems that the far left and the far right can agree on some things at least.

THE CRISIS OF THE LEFT: PART 3

THE SPLIT LEFT

    As we have seen in the previous parts the global left is now split between those who support Globalisation and those who oppose it. There is a similar split on the right, which makes it an interesting era of politics as pro Globalisation left and right are often in union against anti Globalisation left and right. 

    Since we saw insurgent left wing movements gaining momentum in Europe, against Globalisation and specifically the EU, we have noticed an interesting phenomenon. Faux leftists, who are clearly of the pro Globalisation faction have sold themselves as being rebel or renegade leftists who garner much support from the activist left, when a simple analysis of their policies shows that they are anything but this.  These agents often have fawning support among Western leftists, whilst in the Third World they are despised. Indeed the foreign policies of the alt right politicians tend to be much more popular in the third world, given the economic nationalism they represent is much less dispossessing of those populations. 

    This is a strange phenomenon, as the western left claims to hold the ‘woke’ mantle of supporting the masses of ‘people of colour’ yet they consistently support these pro globalisation politicians, whose policies destroy those people time and again. As the Chinese centre of this empire is strengthened we are seeing this phenomenon more and more. 

  We see people singing the praises of people such as Macron in France, Merkel in Germany, Trudeau in Canada, Biden and Obama in the United States and Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand. A serious analysis of their positions shows that they do not represent what the traditional activist left used to support. Many of the problems that the activist left correctly highlights; ravaging climate change, a destroyed security in the world order leading to more and more refugees by the month and escalating warfare around the world, the exploitation of third world labor, are all fixed by pushing forward with an Economic Nationalist agenda.

    Decentralising the world, disengaging from the large, centralised, corrupted bodies of power in the UN and far away capitals, shortening the global supply lines, increasing local production for local consumption, returning the power bases that control regions to as close to their population as possible. All these things are solutions to the problems highlighted by the left. The left should have welcomed events like Brexit, as a relieving sign that the era of building large global empires of European colonialism was on the decline. Yet despite this the faux left continues to attack all the groups offering these policies as ‘racists and neo Nazis’ and strangely now throw their support completely behind the globalist policies that are exacerbating the problems they stand against.

    A good analysis of one of these fake ‘rebel’ leftists is the case of Jacinda Ardern in our region. Simply because she mouths a few empty woke mantras the progressive left in the region fawns over her. The story is told that she is some working class DJ, who rose up the ranks and made it to the top by the grit of her own achievements. However a quick look into her family history shows us that her father, His Excellency Ross Ardern, is definitely from the gentry’s class. 

    He was a lifelong police officer who was then made the High Commissioner to Niue. He is currently the New Zealand Administrator of Tokelau. As we can see he perpetuates the New Zealand colonial posture in the Pacific. Now of course it may be that Jacinda is a true radical, rebelling against her parents, yet we have seen no evidence of this. In fact it was after her election that Ross was made the Administrator of Tokelau. 

    Yet all those who would cry “Defund the Police” or “Shift the world into a post colonial era” are at the same time saying how much they love Jacinda, despite the fact she obviously stands against any of their policy positions. She is unashamedly a Blairite leftist; indeed she literally worked for Blair choosing to do so even after he had just committed his war crime spree in the Middle East. 

    When Jacinda Ardern won her second term in a landslide one of the first people to contact her and offer his congratulations was the openly pro Globalisation Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. We will get a better idea of just how into the Globalisation surge Jacinda is in the coming weeks, if she chooses to sign New Zealand up to the Belt and Road initiative with China, as she has been suggesting she will. She is not a panacea to the world’s problems and is in fact one of the causes of those problems given her policy posture.

    Another clue as to the fake nature of Jacinda’s status is the fawning adoration she receives from the mainstream media. That is despite the Murdoch media providing some hits on her. The Murdoch media has been an interesting one to watch. Clearly in the early 2000’s the Murdoch dynasty was all in on the Globalisation push and with his wife Wendy Deng one would have imagined he was supportive of the China shift. Yet since he was attacked by the British Establishment for his phone hacking and has divorced Wendy it seems he is all in on the Economic Nationalist approach of the Brexiteers and Trumpists. His media empire now completely attacks globalisation regularly, which is an interesting phenomenon to watch.

   Despite this the pro Globalisation media adores Jacinda. Compare this to how the media went into hysterics when Jeremy Corbyn took power of the British Labor party. It was a near constant barrage accusing him of being an anti Semite who would eat babies and destroy the labor party forever. Indeed it was this constant assault that left him unable to support Brexit, as he was known to want.  He was forced to support a soft Remain position at the last election and it destroyed him completely. Now we have a literal LORD in charge of the British Labor party. An actual aristocrat is in charge of the supposed party of the working class. This shows how much infiltration has gone on among the working class organisations. 

    It also gives a clear indication that Jacinda is not a rebel in the same vein as Corbyn or Trump were. Indeed in the current Covid madness we now have Jacinda locking up her own country in a vicious police state on behalf of the Chinese Covid maneuver, whilst Jeremy Corbyn’s brother Piers is regularly arrested on the streets of London leading giant anti-lockdown protests. This shows us clearly how the new poles of politics are no longer along a traditional left and right axis. 

    In Victoria we can see a similar split now brewing in the Labor party here. The working class, especially among the many ethnic minorities, in Victoria is by and large sick of the destructive nature of the lockdowns. The upper middle class has wagged their fingers at them telling them they are all selfish for not wanting to go along with the obvious self-destruction of the lockdown policies. Instead of acknowledging that the middle class themselves have selfishly sought to protect themselves and their wealthy grandparents, against a perceived threat, at the expense of the Victorian working class. Indeed it has been at the expense of the poor around the world, who are now plunged into famines, unrest and war as a result of the sudden shock of unwinding the global supply lines, with no solid plan as to what they were to be replaced with. Other than they can now be gobbled up by Chinese capital for pennies on the dollar.  

    Daniel Andrews is another one of these strange ‘leftists’. His cosying up to the new super Capitalism of China is no hidden secret. He brags about it himself. Also it is strange that we have a self-professed devout Catholic in charge of the ‘hard left’ faction of the Labor party. Of course a persons freedom of religion is paramount however a traditional Marxist would normally reject organised religion. It again shows that individuals are attaching themselves to ideological wings, of various political movements, which they clearly are not fully in accordance with themselves.

    All these faux leftists have gone lock step along with the CCP’s alleged Covid assault on the world. It does not take too much digging into the historical record to show that we have never used such extremist lockdown policies to deal with an epidemiological event. Not even in the last SARS pandemic in 2003. Yet any attempt to point this out and question why we are using this pathogen as an excuse to legislate into existence a global police state, is met with an onslaught from the corrupted and bought off academia and press.

    Where this has left the global working class is in a dire predicament. Currently in the United States election they have to hope that Donald Trump and his faction win the election there. The Trump faction is clearly aware of the psychological warfare nature of the alleged Covid attack. Indeed in recent weeks we have seen Trump launch an operation of his own to counter it. He claimed he and a number of his staff had the virus; only to all pull a miraculous recovery all around to lessen the fear of the infection that the hysterical media has built over the past months. 

    Just as the Chinese clearly picked Wuhan for its psychological importance to the Chinese, it being the home of the 1911 Chinese revolution, Trump was clever with his counter attack. Trump announced on the 1st of October 2020 that he had been exposed to Covid 19. (1) This is of course the same date that Mao Zedong used in 1949 to declare the arrival of the People’s Republic of China. (2) Again we can see the fingerprints of the psychological warfare officers all over this Covid phenomenon.

    Of course simply getting Trump to win the American election is not a panacea for the left. There are indeed some very unsavoury hard right groups that do exist on the fringes of his base. If the global left wishes to finally constrain the rise of these forces then they have to start co-opting the policies of the anti Globalisation core of the populist movement. This should not be distasteful for the global left as most of these policies were our policies to begin with, when we were fighting in the streets at the Battle of Seattle or the S11 Melbourne uprising.

    We need to build a new centre in the left that stands for Economic Nationalism and protectionism again. That unwinds the environmentally destructive global supply lines and replaces them wherever possible with local production chains for local consumption. This will also seek to ease the exploitation of the working class in the ‘third world’, as we will no longer be making use of their slave labor conditions for our products. 

    We must also stop believing in the siren song that we must all sign up to Global Organisations as our only hope to solve climate change. As we have seen these global organisations just end up being infiltrated and co-opted by one great power or another. Local solutions and local power should be the left’s call moving forward. In short we must return to our Anti-Globalisation roots. With policies such as this we will start to beat the populist right once again at the ballot boxes. 

(S11 Protests Melbourne 2000)

    To achieve this here in Victoria we need to defeat the Daniel Andrews scourge in the Labor party. If we cannot get him into a jail cell for the crimes he has committed, bringing in a Chinese police state to Victoria these past months, then at least we need to ensure he loses the next election. Not because the Liberal party will be anything other than their usual mean spirited selves, whilst in power, but at least the shock of the loss will allow us to unleash a purge in the left of all the pro Globalisation, and pro CCP factions, which have infiltrated our Labor party and indeed our academia here in Victoria.

THE CRISIS OF THE LEFT: PART 2

THE RISE OF CHINA AND THE ALLEGED COVID ATTACK

    Since the start of 2020 it has become increasingly clear that the world war we have been in for the past 20 years has taken a decidedly brutal turn. A rising Chinese power in the East is causing the left of Western politics a great crisis in its own ranks. There are those who are completely supporting this pivot and there are those who are completely against it. This will lead to a severe split in left wing parties across the west into Pro CCP and Anti CCP stances, in much the same way as we saw the pro and anti Stalin factions battle it out in the 1950’s and 60’s. 

    The author of this piece is firmly in the Anti CCP faction for the reasons that will be given below. Many in the left no doubt are under the illusion that China is some anti imperialist Maoist political entity. This cannot be further from the truth. If Mao were alive today he would no doubt be shocked by the state that exists in his aftermath. What we seem to be seeing is that since the arrival of the great interrupter in the West, namely the Trump revolution and the rise of the ‘populist’ parties, there was actually a serious move taking place to dismantle the Atlantic Empire. Brexit was a result of this, the rise of Anti EU parties across Europe are a result of this and a series of pivots in the way middle east warfare was being conducted are a result of this.

    As a consequence we are seeing many of the pro Globalisation forces fleeing America and taking up in China. This is a very similar phenomenon that we saw at the end of the Bolshevik revolution when a number of Tsarists and White Russians fled to America and joined their political and strategic institutions and began to advise them on policy with the east. To this day their legacy is felt in the vicious anti Russian policies that seem to continue, no matter what ideology is in control of the Kremlin.  Now we seem to have more and more of this pro Globalisation faction purged from the West and taking up shop in China. As a result China is now a welcome guest among the elites and oligarchs of Davos in Switzerland. 

  This shows that China is anything but a workers paradise. It is not even a case of one empire is falling and a new one is rising. It is more the case that the SAME Empire is just shifting its base of operations. For anyone who was part of the anti globalisation movement of the 90’s and early 2000’s this means that if one is true to ones resistance to this empire then China is now also on the list of oppositional forces. The fact that China currently has a slew of billionaires and slave labor camps in its western states is probably also a clue that something has gone awry with the Marxism of the current Chinese state.

    One need not feel that one is betraying leftwing tenants by going against this shining beacon of ‘Maoism’. The suddenly expansionist China is getting its marching orders from the very same collective of elite who used to be based in the New York and London power arcs. The same people who brought us the invasion of Iraq and the collapse of the welfare state, in the 2008 banking crisis, are now driving the engines of the ‘emergent’ China. They have simply had to abandon their ship in the West as they were driven out by an increasingly hostile public and for whatever reason Xi Jiping has decided to welcome them with open arms.

    The most egregious crime that this new hybrid Global China has given us is the alleged biological warfare attack known as Covid 19. That in itself has been a disgraceful move on their part that should sharpen all minds into dealing with this threat. Now there is of course a case that could be made that the Covid 19 attack was in fact a false flag, which the current United States powers launched against China to discredit them and win the trade war. Indeed China itself spread propaganda suggesting just that in the early days of the Covid 19 pandemic. However if we apply the classic analysis of ‘who benefits’ so far China has benefited massively, and indeed the opposition parties to China in the United States have taken a massive hit, as a result of this attack. It would seem that this does in fact allegedly originate from the Chinese Military Intelligence apparatus.

    In many parts of the world we are seeing left wing parties throw their support BEHIND China despite this alleged attack. This is where we will see new splits begin to form in the left. In Australia and New Zealand especially we have seen a strong pro Beijing faction rise in the Labor parties of both those countries. And of course the Democrats have chosen to run Jo Biden, who could easily be called Beijing Biden by his detractors, given his family’s ties to the CCP. In Australia and New Zealand this blind support of China will lead to serious fractures in the Labor parties there.

    How the Chinese carried out the alleged attack is of great interest. It shows that due to the nature of the Nuclear balance of power conventional warfare is still very much hampered. So China and its backers are going forward now with alleged hybrid warfare.  They did this by first establishing what was known as the Thousand Talents Program. (1) This was a program where the CCP got numerous university professors and researchers onto their payroll. Much has been written and debated about the risks of the Thousand Talents Program harvesting information OUT of nations, back to Beijing. But what no one considered was the possibility for Disinformation to be fed back along those same networks, to throw the world into confusion, when they launched their alleged attack.

    Early in 2020 they allegedly released their biological weapon from a weapons laboratory in Wuhan, as attested by various whistle blowers. (2) (3) It is probably no accident they chose Wuhan as the city to launch the alleged operation from, given that it was in Wuhan that Sun Yat Sen began the Chinese revolution in 1911 an event that is held important by all Chinese, both nationalist and communist, as the starting point for the modern Chinese states. 

    They then allegedly launched large-scale social media campaigns and produced drastically inaccurate models about the potential severity of the disease, to accompany the somewhat dangerous though not devastating bioweapon, and as a result terrorised countries into economy destroying lockdowns. (4) Since then they have allegedly used all the media outlets they are heavily invested in, to go after anyone who has suggested that herd immunity is a possibility or that other strategies, besides economy collapsing lockdowns, are possible. In Victoria they spread their alleged disinformation through several of the major University and private sector bodies responsible for the ‘science’ of the pandemic. (5) Both the major bodies being used in Victoria have strong ties to the CCP. (6) (7) One of these institutions is even linked to the first nationalist Chinese University ever established. (8) Using their modelling, and their alleged misinformation campaigns about how one deals with a pandemic outbreak, they allegedly terrorised the state into collapsing its economy, even as the Chinese economy continued to grow. (9) (10) 

    Their alleged social media psychological warfare continued to push the narrative that hard lockdowns end the pandemic as they showed off huge pool parties in Wuhan only a few months later. (11) Yet no one thought to ask that if they had indeed released a bio weapon, then they would already have a vaccine themselves. As any biological weapons officer would attest you would not release something you didn’t have the antidote to yourself. No one thought to ask ‘what if they already just vaccinated a lot of China and that is why the infection is not really there anymore’.  Only an Indian Doctor has even thought to ask something close to that question. (12) Meanwhile China continues on as normal while the rest of the world keeps failing at getting lockdowns to work, or going for longer and longer lockdowns, trying to replicate a virus response in China that more than likely never really happened to begin with. 

    As the world was plunged into chaos from this alleged attack we have seen an associated amount of conventional troop movement that has gone along with it. We have seen a massive push into the pacific by China, we have seen China and India coming to outright fighting for the first time in decades and we see Central Asia descending into chaos, as the new reality of the shifting poles of global power accelerates the already damaged security situation around the world. 

    In Victoria Daniel Andrews has gone completely along with this plan. He has taken the opportunity to sign up to the One Belt One Road during the chaos and he has surrounded himself with CCP propaganda experts and made sure the institutions running the Pandemic response are all ones that claim to be in deep associations with China. (13) This is why there must be a push from the left to have him imprisoned for what he has done to our state. It will not be enough to just vote him out of power for his crimes, just as it was not enough to just vote John Howard out of office for his many war crimes. The fact that there is never any consequence for the crimes of our political class means that someone else will do just as much, if not worse, in the future. Daniel Andrews must go to jail for the part he played in this hybrid warfare attack on his own country. 

    What is amazing is that Dan claims to represent the Socialist wing of the Labor party, yet he is supporting the Blairite positions when it comes to what is going on right now. This Blairite position has always been in support of Globalisation and the Empire. Astonishingly many of the same Blairite people who swore black and blue just a few years ago that Syrian president Bashar Assad was gassing his own people, despite dubious evidence, now reject outright the much stronger evidence that China has used biological warfare. The same groups that howled at the need to immediately invade Iraq, after the weapons inspectors were told to leave, seem to have absolutely no issues with China preventing the WHO from investigating the bioweapons lab they maintain in Wuhan.

    The turn to technocracy that we have seen across the global left, during this pandemic, has left them totally exposed to the manipulation that such an attack operates on. How can we trust our ‘experts’ when they are on the payroll of foreign states, they literally BRAG about it themselves, during a time that those states would be considered hostile enemies?  

    To be fair the Chinese military establishment is just copying the same devious plays that the Atlantic Empire used for so many years to maintain itself. China’s infiltration and manipulation of the WHO, at the United Nations, mirrors what we saw in recent history when the OPCW was sent in to investigate charges of Chemical Warfare crimes in Syria. Thankfully we now know, thanks to Wikileaks that that institution had been heavily corrupted and stacked with pro NATO operatives who made sure the findings conformed to what the Western Empire wanted. (14) We saw similar mischief with the JIT taskforce that was tasked to investigate the shooting down of the MH 17 plane over the Ukrainian conflict.

    During the past 8 months of the pandemic the anti Globalisation faction has swung into gear and has managed to finally start stacking some of the WHO with their own agents. So now we get weekly garbled, countermanding directives, from this institution on how we should be handling the crisis as it is in complete internal warfare between pro and anti CCP factions.

    This leaves us with the worrying question. With so many of our supposedly neutral institutions being co-opted and militarised, as a function of the escalating world war we have been in since 911, how can we trust what is coming out of any of these experts?  The answer of course is we cant. And many on the political right understand this and are taking actions now to contest this. But we need some on the left to take this stance as well. This is why we need a left wing resistance to Dan Andrews and his pro CCP party in Victoria, lest we lose elections for a long time to come to a resurgent right, or worse we lose the state entirely to a hostile foreign power. 

    The consequence of this new split in the left between those who would ‘Stand With Dan’ and his ilk and those who must now push to defeat these people from bringing us into the new global, still capitalist as ever, empire will be dealt with in the next part of this piece.

THE CRISIS OF THE LEFT: PART 1

 THE NEW ATLANTIC CENTURY

    The global left is fast approaching a crisis in its own ranks, the likes of which we have not seen since the rise of the “New Left” in France in the 1950’s. Indeed the move towards an anti Stalinist left, which we saw grow around the world in the 1950’s and 1960’s, is the closest analogy that we are living through currently for almost exactly the same reasons. 

    Then we saw the “New Left” rise in the liberal democracies of the west, as they began to realise the serious abuses of human rights that Stalin was committing in the Soviet Union, especially along ethnic and racial lines to the many different groups of people that lived within its borders at the time.  This laid bare a lie that the Soviets were in fact workers utopias, as the politburo had become yet another entrenched oligarchy that enriched itself from the working class, in much the same way the recently deposed Monarchists had across Europe. 

    The ‘New Left’ sought to retain some Marxist economic models whilst avoiding the wholesale dictatorship that Stalin was forging across the East at the time. Sadly this dictatorship did much disrepute to the Left and reactionary right-wingers to this day are able to dubiously cast doubt upon all of Marxism by holding up the Soviet Union as an example.

    Today we are faced with a new bugbear of the left. That of the growing might of China. For many on the left they are reflexively supporting China, as they believe it is the inheritor of a Maoist state and it stands in opposition to the classical imperialism of the European block. However this lie is very easily exposed, as we will attempt to do in this piece.                                                                                                       To start we must acknowledge that the global left has been struggling now for some time, since the dawn of the new millennium. This rot set in when the Blairist model was installed firmly in the United Kingdom. Coming off the back of the previous decades of Thatcherism it is astonishing that the British public stood for such a thing. The Blair model was just the exact same Neo-Liberal model that Thatcher espoused, with a few softer social service parameters thrown in. 

    But by and large Blair brought the global left firmly into a new alliance with the Neo-Conservative right and formed the basis of a new Western Empire. As a part of this he brought many Labor parties around the world into support for the preeminent act of Western Imperialism of the 21st Century: the invasion and destruction of the Baathist state of Iraq.  Astonishingly this Blairite left found itself supporting the annihilation of a secular Marxist state, in preference for a land of religious theocracies. It turned on its head the normal orientation of support that one would have seen during the cold war. 

    The stated goal of this new empire was to bring in a century of Globalisation and a completely integrated world in every nation. This new world empires power base was to be located in the Atlantic region, a term used to describe the NATO alliance that had brought together the nations on both sides of the Atlantic in North America and Europe. Neo-Conservative strategists in the United States famously laid out the military plan to achieve this goal, in the ill-fated Project For A New American Century’s manifesto.

    As a result of the massive amounts of money spent on transnational organisations, designed to stitch this empire together, a vast bureaucratic deep state formed, whose allegiance was mainly to this new empire and not necessarily to the nation states that hosted them.

    This gave many across the west the feeling that democracy had been severely strangled. There was only the option of voting for pro Global Empire parties and anyone who wished to oppose imperialism was derided and made to feel like an enemy of the state. You got some slight variation in choice between candidates at elections but you were essentially voting for Right Wing Neo-Liberalism or Left Wing Neo-Liberalism. There was no other option on the table.  And any time an option tried to present itself, antidemocratic forces of the deep state prevented them from having a fair hearing at the ballot boxes.

    The hard left however for a time held the main title to being against this empire. They had rioted in 1999 in the city of Seattle against the rise of the World Trade Organisation, one of the pre-eminent transnational institutions being formed to manage this empire. They had lead three years of violent protests against the World Economic Forum and the World Trade Organisation across Europe and the Americas. Most in the labor union movement rightly saw that this empire offered nothing to the working class of the world. It was not a controversial position to hold, in many quarters of the activist left at the time, to say you were against globalisation and the institutions that under pinned it, such as NATO, the WEF, the WTO, the IMF or the World Bank.

    This position was confirmed for many as the failure of the neo-liberal model underpinning the empire soon became drastically apparent, as the disastrous invasion of Iraq did not end in a cohesive Middle-East spanning arc of control, under the guidance of the Atlantacist's Empire. Further evidence that the model was a bunk came in 2008, when the now dramatically integrated world economic system, proved that such heavy centralisation could only lead to total collapse. The world financial system promptly shat its pants and has not been able to restore any equilibrium since that point.

    This caused a curious evolution to occur in Western politics. Rather than just being about traditional Left Vs. Right economic models we now had two new poles forming. Those who supported a globe spanning Empire and those who realised a sustainable model could only exist if we restored the concept of the sovereign nation state and the smaller, localised, body politic. We now saw insurgents appear on both sides of politics in Western countries and the political support for them was too high for the deep state to contain them any longer.

    Infamously, on the right wing of politics, we saw the Trump revolution rise to the top in America. What was surprising about this rise was that in many ways Trump was talking about exactly the anti imperial talking points that the activist left had always held for themselves. He attacked NATO, he attacked free trade, he attacked the big banks and he vowed to purge the pro Globalisation bureaucracy. But for some reason, because of some hysteria around him, the left decided to suddenly go against anything Trump said, despite his ideology being largely the ideology of a late 1990’s activist leftist. 

    This lead to astonishing scenes of activist leftists rioting as hard as they had in 1999 against the WTO, now turning their rage against one of the WTO’s biggest detractors and indeed they now seemed to increasingly be rioting in SUPPORT of many of these institutions across America. The activist left now merged with the Blairite left of the Democratic Party, in the United States, and became a strange parody of itself as it spent the next four years attacking every position that they used to hold dear themselves. 

    In the United Kingdom similar forces were now taking over both sides of politics. The pro Brexit move caused chaos in the ranks of the Conservative parties who had traditionally been huge supporters of the integration of the European Union. They could no longer resist the Alt-Right in their own ranks now as it increasingly sounded like the late 1990’s left, as the collapsing global empire more and more disenfranchised the working class.

    On the left we finally got an insurgent leader who really stood for classical Marxist concepts in the form of Jeremy Corbyn. The Blairite left by this point largely controlled the media in the United Kingdom and they went into a hysterical overdrive painting him as some form of new neo Nazi as a result of his successes.  He too could have begun a serious push for nationalist decentralised visions for the global system, in order to contend with the failures of the integrated world empire. Alas he was hard balled by the Blairites still present in his own party and forced to go against his own principles of supporting Brexit. He famously had campaigned against Britain entering the EU to begin with all the way back at the start in the 70’s.                                                                                                                                         He too correctly understood that integrated imperial structures, such as the EU, would never benefit the working classes of any parts of the world. Now in the Brexit campaign he was forced to go against his beliefs and support the EU. A halfhearted effort that was never going to be believed by the general public of Britain and it inevitably destroyed him as a party leader in the UK Labor party. That last election had become a referendum on Brexit and the only position any working class person was ever going to take was in support of Brexit, lest they be completely dispossessed, as had been the case over the past decades of the Empire. 

    Then we arrived at the dawn of 2020 and we began to see that because of Trump’s continued purge of pro Globalisation forces across the Western world a new plan was being cooked up. To shift the base of the empire out of its traditional Washington, New York, London arc and move it over too Shanghai, Beijing and eventually Hong Kong. That brings us to our discussion for part two. The Rise of China and the serious conflict it poses for the left in the western world.
