WHEN PICTURES ARE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

        Nearly a year after the Republican Party announced that it was seeking to overthrow Democracy and establish a Police State, CPAC kicked off its post-electoral meeting. The White House commemorated the event with an interesting graphic:


        The supporters of today's Republican Party, of course, laugh off such things---just like last year's CPAC when everybody was only kidding about overthrowing Democracy, and how Elon Musk was only joking when he gave a Nazi Salute at the Inauguration. Sure, in the last month the White House has torn into the Constitution with a fury that even Bush wouldn't have dared attempt; and Musk has appointed Neo-Nazis to data-mine information on Americans, but the default position of the Postmodern American 'Conservative' is to look the other way and pretend that they don't really mean any of this. 

      We might not want to consider that many in the Executive Branch actually believe in a return to autocratic rule with a new Techno-Aristocracy, but unfortunately, it happens to be true.

      "Curtis Yarvin, the TechBro philosopher known by his pseudonym Mencius Moldbug, has emerged as a pivotal intellectual force shaping the ideological contours of Silicon Valley’s power elite. His critiques of democracy, advocacy for technocratic authoritarianism, and vision of a corporate-led monarchy have resonated with influential figures such as Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Elon Musk, David Sacks, Marc Andreessen, and TechBros in general. This report examines how Yarvin’s ideas have permeated Silicon Valley’s corporate strategies, political alliances, and broader socio-technical visions, transforming the region into a laboratory for post-democratic governance.

     "Yarvin’s core argument hinges on the belief that democracy is inherently flawed, describing it as a façade controlled by a progressive elite he terms 'the Cathedral:' a coalition of academia, media, and government bureaucracies that enforce ideological conformity. He posits that these institutions perpetuate inefficiency and moral decay, necessitating their replacement by a sovereign authority akin to a corporate CEO....

    "Yarvin’s neo-cameralism reimagines governance as a corporate entity where shareholders (i.e., citizens) elect a CEO-monarch with absolute power. This model, inspired by Frederick the Great’s Prussia and modern Singapore, prioritizes efficiency over pluralism, framing political dissent as a systemic bug rather than a feature. His call to 'Retire All Government Employees' (RAGE) advocates purging civil servants to dismantle the administrative state, a proposal directly adopted by figures like J.D. Vance."

     Trump himself wasn't at the opening of this year's CPAC: for the second time in a month, he received a standing ovation from WEF-connected billionaires at the Future Investment Initiative.


       The FII is run by the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund, another WEF-connected enterprise, which among its other achievements has ethnically-cleansed Arab tribesmen to facilitate the construction of a model Smart City. Neo-Nazi Musk, who himself recently won a standing ovation at the World Governments Summit in the United Arab Emirates, was in attendance along with fellow-WEF Young Global Leader Rayan Fayez, one of the architects of the Saudi Smart Cities projects. Musk praised the UAE for its advances in Techno-Fascism: the country is a repressive Police State much like Musk envisions here, and its capital Dubai, is also a planned Smart City

      The reasonable conclusion from all of this that if American Conservatives don't start shaking the cobwebs out of their empty skulls and start facing reality---and soon---we're going to have the Great Reset upon us before we know it.
