The Republic of Ireland will be made up of
the counties of the three historical regions of Connacht, Leinster and Munster.
Its flag is the tricolour of the Easter uprising.

Neo Westphalian Europe Part 2: Western Europe
The Western European break up will follow
some classic fault lines. The British Isles is already going through a
decentralisation process, with their devolution to various historical nations
within the Isles. The full-blown disintegration, which the political crisis of
Brexit has triggered, is now going to accelerate radically in the coming
months. Especially if the party which wins the upcoming election in the UK is not able to cut a new deal, with the Bankers of the City of London, and
ruthless Austerity continues to attempt to recapitalise a completely bankrupt
banking sector. This process of disintegration will also be accelerated as the
housing crisis escalates into full-scale collapse.
Across the channel the Jacobin
centralisation of the Fifth French Republic will lose its grip on many
peripheral regions, as it too succumbs to the forces of decentralisation.
However it is likely to gain new territories as well, as its borders change.
The Belgian region of Wallonia is likely to enter into union with Paris due to
its shared culture. This will reform national boundaries in the surrounding
areas.
Currently the strongest of the independence
movements in the region is the Scottish Nationalist movement.

Neo Westphalian Europe
As we progress deeper into the crisis
gripping the Western Empire, we are witnessing some very curious political
trends. We continue to see the accelerating break down of centralised power
structures, as the economic maelstrom reaches its denouement.
Strangely many, who are on the self-proclaimed
‘left’, do not see the irony in the fact that ALL sides of politics are now
espousing a form of Nationalism in order to address the crisis. This of course
makes sense, as the only way one can have a smaller body politic, than the
global empire, is to restore smaller national units. It is also probably because as the cohesion of the national state has been destroyed, over the past 40 years of Globalisation, we have seen an interesting reversion back to forms of identity politics, in order to try and restore some coherent sense of belonging for the populations atomised into the disconnected global mall, monoculture, which the global Empire pushed.
For some this took the form of seeking to align ones politics around what race or gender they were, in order to try and fulfil the tribal imperative common to all humans. This approach however has tended to completely balkanise societies and leave them in political paralysis. So it is no surprise that many are now once again turning to the ideas of 19th Century nation building, which created more cohesive units of populations often organised around a similar language grouping or a shared historical mythos. This is the dynamic that will continue to accelerate the coming secession wave as we forge deeper into the new century.

This is the dynamic that will continue to accelerate the coming secession wave as we forge deeper into the new century.
We have already done an in depth post on
how this break up will look on the North American continent. Indeed many of the
predictions made in that post have subsequently come to pass, as the secession
movements across the US rise to a level not seen since the Civil War. Intriguingly this rise in secession movements is now currently on the LEFT. Although many of the ones that rose on the right, during the Obama administration, have maintained their forward momentum.
Even more intriguing is the great irony of the "Globalised" nationalist movement, which has sprung up on the political right. This is a movement that has grown in the world wide, borderless, global internet domain of cyberspace. Yet it is calling for a restoration of the right to sovereignty for nation states. It makes this claim through pushing the meme of the spoof nationstate known as Kekistan. This fake nation even has its own flag which is taken to pro Nationalism rallies. So far there has been no move to give this memetic experiment its own central bank, with it's own powers to produce a currency for itself. This is of course the path to TRUE sovereign independence.
This is the most curious aspect of the push back against Globalisation of all. Even as the globalising forces of the internet rise, they are helping fuel this return to tribalism and nationalism. It would seem these are very deep forces of human nature that should be embraced and not fought against.
No one on the Globalist left seems to see the great irony however that in their rejection of what they see as a ‘horrid and backward return to US nationalism’, which their President Trump represents, they are in fact embracing Californian or Cascadian or any number of other NATIONALIST movements.

Why the left cannot see this cognitive
dissonance in its current discourse is hard to say. Possibly it is the extreme propaganda of the
imperialists, which is so confusing many who claim to be of the ‘left’. The
mainstream, imperial ‘left’s’ leadership currently argues that anyone asking to
have a restoration of sovereignty, for the local body politic and anyone who
wants the inviolability of national boundaries to be recognised, are somehow
some sort of extremist racists who are literally getting ready to open up the
gas chambers again.
Then these very same ‘leaders’ turn around
in the same breath and howl and wail about some manic theory, that the whole of
western civilisation is under attack, as it’s national sovereignty is subverted
and the inviolability of its national borders are ignored by 30 foot tall
Russian Godzilla’s. This is apparently, according to their narrative, an
outrageous betrayal of international laws and norms.
It is obvious you cannot hold both these
positions simultaneously, either we live in a world of national sovereignty or
we don’t. The average prole either realises the scam behind this rhetoric, or
is left so confused by this cognitive dissonance that these ‘leaders’ continue
to lose their ground and control over their populations. As a result
Nationalism is now on the rise, in one form or another, on BOTH sides of the
body politic. Globalisation is dying on the tree of its negative interest rate
policy and extremist currency wars and resource extraction wars against the
peasant class of planet Earth.
No more clear is this cognitive dissonance, on the ideas of nationalism, than across the Atlantic. In Scotland many continue
to rail against the fact that Nationalists succeeded in restoring the Sovereignty
of the United Kingdom’s national body politic, from the supra national EU.
Their solution to what they see as a dreadful mistake is to call for even MORE
Nationalism, as they push for a second Scottish independence vote. This would restore the sovereignty of the
Scottish body politic in Holyrood, from under the foot of Westminster. However
they then make a great leap of ideological gymnastics, when they claim they
would cede this newfound sovereignty BACK to the unelected Aristocracy in
Brussels.
It is not clear if maybe the SNP is aware
that this is actually just a bluff and they have no intent of restoring
themselves to an EU that may not even exist by the time Scotland is
independent. This may indeed just be rhetoric, used to convince the populace to
finally do the sensible thing and end the Union with England.
The continued existence of the EU is in
more doubt than ever. This is despite the current propaganda coup Brussels got from
the latest French election. The corporate media tries to sell the idea that the
recent French election is a win for the coming United States of Europe and that
in fact the Centralists are about to win the final coup de grace, in the epic
war we find ourselves in. However this is highly unlikely.
Despite the propaganda, a majority did not
elect Macron. Huge amounts of people abstained from the process. His election
was only due to the fact that the Nationalists in France could only put forward
individuals who genuinely had links to Fascist organisations of old. Unlike all
the hysteria that tried to tie the Trump campaign to Fascists in America, when
this was clearly not the case, the Vichy links of the Le Pens were very real
historical facts.
Ultimately this election has just delayed
the implosion of the EU and probably made sure that it is going to be a very
bloody disintegration indeed. So much for the great propaganda nonsense the EU
likes to spin that they alone stand in the way of new warfare on the continent.
Everything about the project is now pushing Europe to an inevitable outbreak of
its semi regular revolutionary waves.
Already Macron faces a low level
insurrection from the far left on the streets of the major cities. No doubt in
rural areas there are many angry supporters of the National Front who are also
biding their time. When Macron finally announces that he will be strip mining
the French pensions, to feed the out of control juggernaut that are the German
banks in Frankfurt, the very serious conflict will erupt. We will probably see
the labour unions joining the left in the cities at that point, for a new Paris
Commune and National Front militants will take the regional areas. Indeed the
likely hood of full-scale civil war will, at that point, be at an all time high.
In much the same way as we are currently seeing the United States union fast
approaching a violent break up.
In the aftermath of this conflict and the
end of the European Union we will probably see a Europe with a number of
organisational changes. As well as 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. For the next few posts then we will have a
look at what this new Europe will look like, much as we did for the US last
year.
On then to the other side of the pond for a
new political organising of the continent.

Global AntiFa VS American AntiFa
We are currently witnessing a complete realignment of the Geopolitical fold. It seems that finally many are seeing that Communism is far less of a threat to the world than Fascism. Ironically this is a statement that was just also made by the Trump administration at Davos when Scaramucci overturned the past 50 years of NATO doctrine in an astonishing statement to the same effect.
Indeed here we can truly see the depth of insanity that the lack of context the Fake Stream Media ever puts on anything has got us.
When one examines the past fifteen years of history one reaches a startling conclusion. The Democrats under the Obama administration actually continued a policy of supporting the Fascist Internationale around the world. This was carrying on with a policy that was also pursued by the Neocon Republican faction so there is cross party guilt in this. They basically continued to support and assist the World Anti Communist League in its destruction and suppression of the Global Left.
They did this via the FI's proxies in Saudi and Qatari Salafasicsts (and their associated branches in AfPak), Gulenites in Turkey, Ukrainian Werwolf divisions and numerous other actors of the Fascist right around the globe. Hysterically, even as he used these forces to topple left wing governments around the world, at a rate that would have made even Reagan and Thatcher jealous, he was somehow accused of being a closet Marxist back on the home front. When he was clearly anything BUT that.
Things get even more crazy when one considers the new administration. If we recall a few years ago, in Syria, Kerry and Obama had all but called it that we would not save Kobane and would let the town get taken as part of the push to turn Syria over to the Fascists. Yet suddenly there was some sort of rebellion in the Pentagon and a faction of it went rogue. This was somewhat of a continuation of the infamous "We will not be Al Qaida's Air Force" rebellion. This faction then doubled down and started openly supporting the Kurds around Kobane. This help went from arming and training and air cover all the way up to the creation of the current divisions known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). By and large the SDF is primarily made up of the YPG.
This means in essence that this faction of the Pentagon was openly supporting groups who are Anarcho-Marxist in their ideology. This was a massive reversal of the past 50 years of policy where the CIA had tried to use Turkish Grey Wolves or Saudi Salafascists to suppress and destroy these groups. Looking back at it, it now seems that this faction was getting its main guidance from Michael Flynn who was the head of the DIA at the time. Indeed it was this insubordination that probably saw Obama eventually purge him. So how interesting then that Trump brought him back on as National Security advisor until his fall a few days ago. Since the Trump administration came to power it has openly offered even more support to these groups. This essentially means that Trump is in support of Marxists on the ground inside north Syria.
It gets even stranger if we are to view the world through the eyes of an average Democrat Hillbot Lunatic. They tell us daily in their hysteria that Trump is in fact a Russian plant. This may be a highly dubious assertion but for the moment lets assume that it is true for arguments sake. This means that the Trump administration is therefore also supporting Marxists in the form of the Ba'ath Government in Syria.
This would also mean that Trump was in support of the International Brigades who until recently were defending Novorossiya against the Ukrainian invasion. A massive part of this AntiFa battalion was made up of open European Communists.
With all this in mind therefore it is mind blowing to see kids waving AntiFa flags, claiming allegiance to the Communist Party of America, burning down Universities in defiance of the first US administration in almost 50 years to actually offer support to left wing guerillas around the world in the form of men, materiel, arms and even air power!! It's a complete lunatic asylum. Hollywood could not have come up with a script of this if they tried.
Far from being the "new Hitler" it seems Trump is in fact the Americans Gorbachev. Hated at home but seen abroad as the pragmatist who is winding down the Empire as it collapses. It seems a new alignment is forming in the global Geopolitical spread. An alliance of the Left with the classical Republican against the common foe of the Fascist. Indeed we saw this exact orientation during the Spanish Civil War.
Then Socialists, Communists, Anarchists and Republicans fought side by side against the Fascist hordes. The infamous Abraham Lincoln Brigades rubbed shoulders even with Stalinists on the barricades of Spain. Indeed this was an alliance that would carry on into World War Two itself, eventually, when the final alliance between the Soviets and the West formed to crush Italy and Germany.
Maybe back then a more recent history was fresher in everyone's mind. The Bolshevik purges of their aristocratic class, during the Communist revolutions, were really not so different from the similar purges that the French and Americans had conducted during their Republican revolutions of a 100 years earlier. Without the 50 years of Cold War propaganda and hysteria that twisted our vision of this history maybe we would have remembered this fact quicker in modern times. Indeed the irony being a large part of this propaganda was foisted on the West by the defeated members of the Nazi party, who were reabsorbed by the Americas during Operation PaperClip and the dastardly work of the Gehlen Organisation.
Now under Trump, whose local population all screams Fascist about when they see him, we are seeing the true stirrings of a new, global, anti-fascist movement. If the Hillary Clinton camp is to be believed then the Trump administration is in support of Marxists on the ground inside Rojava, inside the Donbass and inside Damascus. Who knows how much further this support of the Global Left will spread. The irony is that in his mission to destroy the Salafascists he will be undoing all the work the World Anti Communist League put in creating this monster over the past 50 years.

Making America Great Again!!
As the American Empire careens towards it inevitable, explosive end, it seems that the phenomena of Pan Secessionism is accelerating greatly. We are currently seeing the European theatre of the empire completely crumble, even as the European "Union" tries desperately to ever expand itself.
The upcoming Brexit could be the beginning of a complete unwinding of many of the centralised political structures on the continent. Not only the Union but even some of the centralised nation states face break away regions in the aftermath.
Many new, smaller, states will likely exist in the aftermath of this collapse. Whilst the mainstream media is avidly following this disintegration and implosion in Europe little attention is being given to the North American continent. It too stands to undergo an equally radical transformation of its map, in the wake of the vacuum of the empire.
This fact is treated with incredulity by many, for some bizarre reason. 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.
The current election cycle in the US shows that the crisis which has manifested in the empire is metastasising into its end point. Therefore, collapse of the empire can be expected now.
In preparation for this we will spend the next few weeks on TDA doing some hypothetical posts, wargaming what the coming map and political make up of the North American continent will most probably look like, in the coming few years. This probability is at an all time high, regardless of who wins the Presidency in the US.
A look at some of the moves on the continent, which will probably occur, can offer us an interesting opportunity to run some thought experiments on the coming geopolitical changes.
It may also give opportunity for members of some of the numerous secession movements that will be covered in these posts to consider there next moves. Here then, for the first post, are the maps which we will be using for our scenarios.
