Pan Secession Redux

Given the accelerating speed of events that have transpired, since beginning this series, we are going to have to reboot the series even before the original postings were complete. This series covered the phenomenon of Pan Secessionism, which is springing up around the world in the vacuum left after the failure of Globalisation and the collapse of attempts to usher in a single global hegemony.

Some archives of the original series can be found here and here, as a record for what was written at the time. These thoughts have proven to be highly accurate in their analysis of what was to come.

The basic premise of the idea was that in the wake of a successful Brexit a chain reaction would occur, which would leave many regions aware of the historical benefit for smaller nation states, localised economies and localised control of community.  This trend has indeed come to pass.

It was noted that in the aftermath of the collapse of the world Empire many new, smaller, states would likely exist. At the time many, for some bizarre reason, met this idea with incredulity. It should be no surprise that territorial disintegration follows the collapse of Empire. We saw this very recently in world history with the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. Our own cultural history should inform of this too, with the disintegration of the British Empire.

Now however this is no longer such a radical proposition and the mainstream media is finally beginning to discuss this disintegration and implosion both in Europe and on the North American continent. Both the regions have begun to undergo a radical transformation of their map, in the wake of the vacuum of the empire.

Since we began to analyse the impending trend line, towards decentralisation, numerous events have occurred that have rapidly hurtled us further down this path. These include the successful Brexit campaign, the election of the anti Establishment Trump Government, the Kurdish, Lombardy and Venetian referendums and the Catalonian crisis.

The age of trying to force the world towards a heavily centralised, “one world”, supra national government is over. Nowhere was this made more evident than in the recent TPP meetings, where not only did the United States not attend but Canada (one of the loyalist of British Imperial agents still active today) also skipped out on the meeting in a shock move no one was expecting. The forces of decentralisation have now been unleashed and will be unstoppable, as the Anglo-American/EU Empire dies and collapses completely.

In the aftermath of this we will see a number of organisational changes on the European continent. Not only will we witness the European Union finally being swept into the dustbin of history, alongside all the other futile attempts to restore the Roman Empire, we will probably see the great, centralised, states of France, Italy, Germany and Poland shattered as well. The forces of industrialisation that gave us those central states will have been shattered by the current forces of financialisation and the decentralist milieu of the Internet age. 

Already there are some changes to the maps that we were working with in our theoretical model for a post Globalisation geopolitical world, so these new posts will reflect those changes. Again it is hoped that the analysis of each of these potential new nations will serve as a guide for anti Globalisation activists in their regions, who can work on preparing a new (and hopefully more wholesome) model in the aftermath of the Empires collapse.  The maps and flags may also give opportunity for members of some of the numerous secession movements, which will be covered in these posts, to consider their next moves.

There are a number of types of activism that can be considered as one pushes forward in the nation building process. The Californian secession movement is already taking steps to change the name of the “Governor” of California to “President”, so that the idea of an independent nation is already implanted in the wider populations mind. They are also working to have the US flag removed from government buildings so that only the Bear Republic flag is flying.

Flying the flag of your various nation states is another great type of activism going forward. Indeed flag flying days could be held at the borders between republics, where people fly the neighbouring nations flags to delineate the new borders, but to also show that building boundaries need not be seen as a negative thing and neighbouring states can of course exist in harmony with each other. Despite all the hysterical propaganda, which tries to tell us that only by subsuming our local sovereignty to some far away federal body can we save ourselves from endless warfare with our neighbours. This is such a ridiculous canard of the psychological warfare teams it’s not funny.

We are now entering the age of an unstoppable multipolar world. The age of the “Great Powers” and “Super Powers” is receding into history, as economic and technological change makes them superfluous. No amount of howling and crying from the Oligarchic elite, that the whole thing is some “Russian Plot”, will save them now from this inevitable outcome. As we are seeing on the streets of Saudi Arabia currently some of these Elite may even be about to get literally executed in the streets, for their crimes of Empire of the past 50 years.

Those who pretend that national borders never shift and change throughout history are also about to find out how deluded and anti historical their worldview is.  Similarly those who think the world system can be managed with no borders are also about to realise the fallacy of such an idea and the gross misapplication of resources that would represent. The future belongs to the decentralists, the nationalists, the anti imperialists and the humanists.

Idiocracy in the Confederate States of America

The so-called American MSM has collapsed into vacuous nothingness these days with almost as shocking a crash as a Confederate statue. No wonder no one takes it seriously anymore. There is no attempt whatsoever to analyse anything on any level of intelligence anymore. “Journalists” are leading the country into complete collapse.

The prime example of this is the current coverage of the Charlottesville debacle. Absolutely no attempt at any analysis on ideology is going on, just vacuous virtue signalling nonsense. Surely a dive into the complexity of it all is interesting not only to understand ones immediate world and how to deal with situations but just for the amazing web of it all. The catchall phrases “Alt-Right” and “Alt-Left” are becoming utterly ridiculous. An example analysis below should show this.

Spotted on the ground for the so called “Alt-Right” were:

1)   Constitutional Militias. These are essentially Libertarian Republicans in the vein of the American and French Revolutionaries. The modern version of this ideology recognises the promise that the actual words of the Constitution were offering (not the historical reality of the land owners who wrote them) and are extremely egalitarian in the Tennis Court Oath sense. As such they are NOT White Supremacists. They also believe in constitutional Republic so are definitely NOT Fascists.

2)   Ku Klux Klan. They are a Protestant, White Supremacist group, which has its roots in the initial insurgency that broke out against Northern occupation after the end of the Civil War. They are definitely White Supremacist however they believe in the articles of Confederation of the original Declaration of Independence. This coupled with their Protestantism means they are completely opposed to Romanism and Fascism.

3)   Neo-Nazis. These people are guided by the Nazi philosophy of Ariosophy (which is slightly broader in scope than just pure White Supremacy) and are definitely genuine supporters of Fascism.

4)   Southern Nationalists. These are Southern Nationalists who are opposed to pulling the statues down. They want a new civic Nationalism for a Confederated Republic of the Southern states in a modern multicultural sense. These are definitely NOT White Supremacists (they even have Native Americans and so called Black Confederate groups in their ranks). They are also clearly NOT Fascists.

5)   Duginists. These are Fourth Way Fascists a new movement within Fascism run by the Russian Aleksander Dugin. They seem to be a strange synthesis of Discordian Anarchist tactics being co-opted for the pursuit of Fascist goals. Because they play with that fire they tend to get burned with it however, as seen with their meme war of Pepe who is more an Anarchist Chaos God now than a Nazi Frog.

Spotted on the ground for the so called “Alt-Left” were

1)   Black Lives Matter. This group grew out of some of the anarchist factions of Occupy after the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson. After an initially successful phase of highlighting the continuing issues for their communities however they clearly became co-opted.

This reached its height when one of their main spokesmen Deeray became an outright operative of the statist Democratic Party. This synthesis lead to the crazy creation of things such as the so-called “Occupy Democrats”.

This completely ignored the very recent history that it was actually under the Democratic regime of the Obama administration that the Occupy camps were violently dispersed with extremely militarised police forces (the very thing BLM was supposedly opposed to).

This co-option has clearly reached a zenith now that the movement has been lead away from any Black Panther style community organising type tactics and into tilting at windmills trying to pull down all history and tear their own eyes out so as not to see any evil, as if that will somehow rectify the current system.

2)   Antifa. This is less of a group and more of a set of principles and tactics that were established by the Anarcho-Syndicalists (based on the work of some earlier organisations in Italy and Germany) during the Spanish Civil War. Again the media is ridiculous in attempting to treat their reporting on it as if it is a centralised ‘organisation’. Its like when they report on some kids bedroom manifesto on Youtube as “Anonymous has said…”.

The attempts to treat them as a unified organisation has reached such ridiculous levels that some states are pushing to register them as a ‘terrorist organisation’. Even though they are NOT an organisation. Many on the cultural right who are denouncing them also hysterically quote George Orwell in their attacks on them. Somewhat missing the point that George Orwell fought FOR Antifa brigades in the Spanish Civil War.

We can tell that there is basically no communication going on between decentralized Antifa brigades these days given the massive variation in the reality going on in their various campaigns. We see Antifa in Charlottesville marching denouncing Russian interference in the American political system (whilst completely unironically waving the flag of the Soviet Union) and denouncing the “Fascism” of the Trump Presidency.

This is even as a large number of European Antifa brigades receive weapons, materiel and support from Putin on the ground inside eastern Ukraine/Novorossiya, where they are fighting genuine Fascists of the Azov brigade who were given support and arms by the Obama State Department.

At the same time European and Kurdish Antifa battalions receive weapons, materiel and even air support from the US Air Force on the ground inside Northern Syria, under the clearly NOT Fascist TRUMP Administrations guidance.

How hard would it be for at least some of the bobble head morons in the journalistic landscape to provide any or some of this background to help bring any of it into context for the useless eaters that currently make up the ‘centre’ of politics?? Idiocracy has become real. If journalism doesn’t lift its game it will be rightly wiped out for good. The useless name-calling and inability to analyse any of the factions allows the keener intellects to keep sucking the stupid into their traps. The Chaos will grow.

Neo Westphalian Europe Part 51: Republic of Karelia

The Republic of Karelia is one of the semi autonomous republics that currently exists within the borders of the Russian Federation. There is already a full independence movement there. It is the home of the Karelian ethnic group, who are related to the neighbouring Finns.

The autonomous republics of Russia are likely to be the first political entities that break free from Moscow, as the Russian state breaks up in the coming wave of decentralisation. As has been noted before great care must be taken through this process, to ensure that devious forces from the Western Empire are not allowed to hijack these movements, or this process of moving to smaller states, as a way to try and destroy the current regime in Moscow. Moscow should be allowed to have centre stage in assisting this break up, just as it did with the break down of the larger Soviet Union in the 1990’s. Ensuring that close and friendly ties remain, between all these new nations and Moscow, will be of the utmost importance to maintain global stability, as this break down of centralised structures continues. This way the Moscow regime will not feel threatened and there will be a place in the world for all these regimes.

As well as the land the Karelians live in, in their republic, there are some older historical parts of Karelia, which have been a source of conflict between Russia and Finland over the past few centuries. Finland has two historic parts of Karelia in its borders. It also has a claim to the Karelian Isthmus, which currently lies inside Russia’s borders. A solution to defuse this tension would be for Russia to cede the Karelian Isthmus to the republic of Karelia and Finland to follow suit with its Karelian territories.

This will leave a new Karelian nation made up of the territories of the Republic of Karelia, currently a part of Russia. Also in this state would be the Priozersky and Vyborgsky Districts, currently a part of the Leningrad Oblast in Russia. Finally added to this will be North and South Karelia, currently a part of Finland.

The flag of the proposed independent Karelia is different from the current flag flown by the autonomous region in Russia. The Karelian nationalists instead use the Nordic Cross style flag, which was first adopted by a briefly independent Karelian nation in 1920. The Republic of Uhtua declared independence in 1919 and in 1920 they adopted the flag based on designs prepared by a Finn, who supported the nationalist cause. In 1920 the Soviets invaded the republic and it has thus far not gained independence again. Karelian nationalists still use the Uhtua flag.

Neo Westphalian Europe Part 50: Republic of Lithuania

Lithuania is the last of the Baltic States that played such an integral role in the break up of the Soviet Union. Again they surprisingly chose not to learn the lessons against being part of a giant supranational union, like the one the Soviets created, and squandered their newfound freedom by joining the European Union and NATO.

Again the Baltics will probably be a region that realises the mistakes of this move as the European Union unravels. To make progress into a more stable future the world needs to realise it can no longer be trapped in a dualistic view of the world; “Their union is bad, our union is good”. ALL unions are bad, as they inherently destroy the sovereignty of peoples and steal resources back to imperial centres.

The Lithuanian story is similar to the neighbouring countries however it has a longer history of being an independent nation, as it was for a long time the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and was independent of the neighbouring medieval states. Much of its existence saw it in tension and conflicts with the neighbouring Teutonic and Livonian knighthoods. This was because it was one of the last pagan regions to hold out to converting to the Pope, so numerous crusades were launched against it.

Eventually the Lithuanians gave Samogitia to the Knights in exchange for peace and converted. During this time they were even able to expand territorially into Ruthenian regions. A number of centuries of conflict, with Samogitia passing back and forward between the foes, then ensued. During this period the nation also alternated between being Eastern Orthodox and Western Papist. Over time the Western influence lead to increasing ties with Catholic Poland.

Eventually, as Ruthenians became more interested in forming a Russian nation centred in Moscow, this pushed Lithuania into even deeper alliance with Poland for defence. This ended with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which formed in the 1500’s. This was destroyed, and a large portion of it became part of the Russian Empire, in the 1700’s.

Finally, as with all the Baltics, true independence came in the chaos following the First World War.  After declaring independence in 1918 they were invaded by the Soviets. Their war against the Soviets ended when the Poles invaded them yet again and a Lithuanian Polish war broke out. This finally ended in 1920 in full independence.

World War Two ended this independence and once again they were under Soviet rule. Finally in 1990, as the rest of the Baltics declared independence, Lithuania followed suit. It was a more violent process in Lithuania with several attacks by the Soviets over the next few years. By mid 1991 they were officially free but Soviet troops did not fully withdraw until 1993.

As with the other Baltic States this independence was short lived however, as they once again fell under foreign rule, this time from the EU. Now it is likely that the dream for a truly independent Lithuania will once again be realised, as it frees itself from Brussels in the coming years. It will of course probably lose Samogitia as it does so however. This will leave a rump Lithuania made up of the Lithuania Minor, Aukstaitija, Suvalkija and Dzukija Regions, all currently a part of Lithuania.

The Lithuanian flag is another in the Tricolour style of flags, which became popular in European Republican movements after the French Revolution. An older flag of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which is red with a knight on it, is still used as the war flag and State flag of Lithuania. The civil flag however is the tricolour, which was adopted in 1905 by Lithuanian nationalists.

The colours were taken from the traditional dress often worn in the region. It was decided to use this new Tricolour to differentiate the new push for a republic, from the old Duchy, as that state included regions that now belonged to other countries. The flag was officially adopted as the national flag in 1918, when independence was declared. The flag was no longer used during the Soviet occupation after world war two. During the independence movement in the 1990’s it made a come back and was restored when Lithuania became independent again.

Neo Westphalian Europe Part 49: Republic of Samogitia

The Samogitian republic is another territory forged out of Europe’s many border tensions. The Samogitians are a tribe of the Lithuanians, however they gained a distinct culture in their own right after spending years on the border between the Lithuanian state and the Teutonic Knights. During the numerous conflicts between these forces they passed back and forward between the two rulers.

Whilst under Teutonic control they were subject to a different style of feudal system and thus developed a more unique life style from the rest of Lithuania, which has left them with a nascent independence movement brewing in its own right. Despite this it was ironically in Samogitia that the initial drive for Lithuanian independence was born, in the 19^th Century.

The region had passed from the Polish-Lithuanian state and was now a part of the Russian Empire. A policy of Russification had attempted to erase Lithuanian language and culture. It is clear however deeper threads of Nationalism will always once again bubble to the surface. This is another reason why the current attempt to create a single world empire, which erases all these national identities, will never work. The Samogitians began to produce Lithuanian language writings again and smuggled them throughout Lithuania, giving the population an identity again.

During the 1831 Polish uprising, against the Russian Empire, there was a move to create an independent Samogitia that was separate of both Poland and Lithuania. This however ended when the revolution failed. Later rebellions saw the Samogitians join the Lithuanian side as they pushed for independence. Eventually, as with all the Baltic States, they finally found independence as part of Lithuania in the chaos that preceded World War 1.

This independence ended after World War Two and the region was once again under Soviet rule. Finally in 1990 they gained full independence again, as the Soviet Union fell apart. At that time Samogitia moved with Lithuania for a unified state. However a decade later, in the 2000’s, an independent Samogitian movement began to assert itself in the region. By 2009 the region had its own Samogitian Party. It is likely that as the map of Europe redraws itself, over the coming years, this will be yet another new nation that arises during the “Springtime of Nations”.

This will leave a new nation made up of the Samogitia Region, currently a part of Lithuania.

The flag of the Samogitia independence movement is based on the current flag of the Samogitia region. This flag has the bear of the Samogitia coat of arms on it, which was revived in the 1990s. The current regional flag of Samogitia however flies a medieval style pennant. The flag that is flown by some separatists is updated to the more modern style of flag and includes the two bears facing a sun. It is also fully red and has no white in it, unlike the current regional flag. This flag also depicts the bears without a collar indicating that they are not in captivity.
