HUMILIATED ALPHAS SPIN ALASKA NARRATIVE

       On Friday Night, a visibly deflated US Delegation left the much-hyped US-Russia Summit in Alaska, having achieved nothing of any substance. After months of bullying Foreign leaders who (sadly like most Americans) wilted or became compliant in the presence of the Alpha Strongman, this time Red Pills faced real leaders who'd handed their immediate predecessors a string of continual defeats. The mortification among the American Leadership was so intense that they left behind sensitive documents which were uncovered by the Press. 

     No wonder they want to defund NPR; that, and the accidental leaking of military secrets earlier this year to a reporter from the Atlantic naturally wants make them control the Media even more than they do. However, we here take the position that hiring competent people to handle National Security issues would be a better option than censorship. 

      Predictably, the fawning pro-Administration Media is trying desperately to shore up the Alpha Image of our leaders. Like the online Manosphere Red Pills from whom they draw much of their inspiration, they've enlisted Evo-Psych Experts to analyze the situation. Anyone who's interested can read a montage of their obsequious flattery here:

      Of course, the Alphas forget that there were other pictures taken which tell a slightly different perspective:

      The Democrat side of the Uniparty has been huffing and puffing too: their Official Narrative is that Trump is selling out to Russia, just like the Official Counter-Narrative coming from the Republicans was that Biden was selling out to China. The reality is, of course, that the only selling-out going on is both sides selling out to Wall Street; but for obvious reasons that won't get any Media discussion.

      For the last few decades, the Democrats have played the same game: marketing their leaders as representing 'American Exceptionalism.' The 'Alpha' archetype adopted by the New Right is simply a repackaged and resold version of that wrapped in Reactionary language. The Political Class in the US long ago gave up on winning in the Marketplace of Ideas, and shifted to the more commercialized and choreographed strategy of selling candidates and narratives. It has worked to great success in controlling the effete American public, but hasn't worked so well with foreign States looking out for the interests of their respective countries. 

      What America fundamentally lacks is that kind of concern for the National Interest. We have devolved into a Culture that is essentially premised on satisfying personal Egotism; a sort of logical extension of the Survival of the Fittest ideology. That concept is reflected in the leaders whom we choose; and the Alpha Philosophy now dominant in our Government is the reductio ad absurdum of it. In Foreign Policy, that translates into expressions of dominance rather than win-win cooperation of mutual benefit to both parties. That the headline cited above stressed the need to appear "in command" and "dominating the meeting" is no accident. It expresses the priorities of both our Leadership and our Culture. 

      It's noteworthy that such language is altogether absent in most of the foreign media. The Russian Media itself has mostly covered texts of speeches from President Putin and focused on the Summit's potential for ending the Ukrainian Conflict. That will depend wholly, of course, on whether or not the White House can be trusted to uphold their end of the bargain. Whatever the White House says is not really relevant anyway: the continuation of the conflict depends upon whether or not their bosses in Davos and on Wall Street believe that continuing the conflict is a cost-effective policy or not. 

     The Russians aren't going to move from their key positions, and---despite what the chest-thumpers over here say---we don't have the power to force the Russians to do anything. Most likely one of two scenarios will play out in Ukraine:

     1. The Elites will offshore their criminal enterprises there and abandon the country to its fate. This is how they dealt with Afghanistan. Or,

     2. They will agree to Russia's terms, and the Elites can go on plundering Ukraine without fear of Russian troops interfering with them. 

    The second is probably the most likely outcome. In Afghanistan, the Taliban wanted the whole country back; in Ukraine the Russians wanted only to secure their borders and to liberate the Russians in East Ukraine and Crimea. Simply ending the fighting without changing the map will---from the Oligarchy's perspective---save them money and protect their investments Their supine Media can be counted upon to inflate the Political Class' egos and portray it all as some great victory for the Exceptional Alpha Supermen. 

      In other words, the Summit was very much all for show. The Oligarchs are going to have to cut their losses and the Uniparty is going to have to spin the defeat into victory; but that won't matter because in America's current geopolitical climate, appearances are everything and substance is nothing.
