THE POWER OF SYMBOLS

     September has been a month with a lot of activity in Foreign Policy issues all across the globe. The remarkable thing that's characterized this month's international meetings has been the very clear assertion of power by most of the developing against the Great Reset's delusions of a New World Order. The humiliations that the Biden/Harris Junta suffered at the ASEAN, G-20, and UN General Assembly Summits were juxtaposed against the successes of America's so-called 'enemies' at the BRICS and Eastern Economic Forums. The Deep State's utter impotence against military revolts against them in Africa, their failure to stop the Russian liberation of Eastern Ukraine, their sinking fortunes in Taiwan, and their inability to prevent long-standing allies Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Argentina from switching sides and growing instability in Europe underscored an important fact: although the Oligarchs might have the Anglosphere under their thumbs, their fantasies of global domination are a long way from realization. 

     The reverses suffered at the UN General Assembly were downplayed or ignored by the American Corporate Media. It was actually one of the more contentious meetings in recent UN history. The United Nations, in recent times, has been little more than a rubber-stamp of anything proposed by the US State Department to give the illusion of some international solidarity behind Beltway policies (much like Elections are in the US itself). This year, however, there was quite a bit of stirring among the national leaders---mostly over the issue of unequal representation. 

     Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed his disgust to the Turkish Media after the meeting, pointing out that the even the decor of the UN Meeting Hall was designed to overawe participants with symbolism of who was actually in charge. 

     “One of the issues that bothers me the most... is that when entering the United Nations General Assembly, you see the LGBT colors on steps and other places," Erdogan said. “How many LGBT [people] are there in the world right now? However much right they have on these steps, those against LGBT have as much right as well. This is a humanitarian issue and we need to know that there are people who are disturbed by this.” The President also said that he intended to initiate a formal protest to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, though given Guterres' history as the former Socialist Prime Minister of Portugal; his former presidency of the Socialist International; and the fact that he's attended nearly every WEF meeting since 2007; it's likely that the Sultan's protests will fall on deaf ears. 

      

    While homosexuality isn't illegal in Turkey, the Government there has followed the enlightened policies of its neighbors, Russia, Belarus, Hungary, and others of suppressing attempts by this pernicious group to undermine and destabilize their societies. Across Turkey, homo student organizations in universities have been shut down---with the full support of Turkish intellectuals and academics. Dr. Saffet Kose, chancellor of  Kâtip Çelebi University spoke at the Great Family Gathering rally on Sep. 17, in Istanbul. 

   "For the salvation of our generation, the survival of our society, the peace of our nation and the continuation of humanity; I call on everyone to protect the family institution, to be one heart against the LGBT imposition." Professor Kose stated, "State officials have the duty to take steps against LGBT individuals, who are a threat to all humanity, a challenge to the natural order and attempting to impose social corruption.”  Would that our country still had Academics with the courage to speak out like that: but in our exceptional nation which holds to Freedom of Speech and Liberty of Conscience, no Academic who did would be permitted to teach anywhere. 

    Erdogan's principled stand also highlights that the use of such symbolism for propaganda purposes was not lost on him. Advertisers and Propagandists have known for decades the value and connotation of symbolism. It wasn't any accident that one of the first acts of the Biden/Harris Junta was to order the Rainbow Flag flown next to our national ensign. The Rainbow symbol formerly was used by the WEF itself, until the connections became too obvious. Nonetheless, the original logo of the Fourth Industrial Revolution bears a striking resemblance to the central image in the UN display pictured above:

    The symbolism behind the Rainbow wasn't chosen by accident. The Rainbow conjures an image to most of Mankind as a symbol of peace and order after a storm. Probably the most famous example in literature was written in the Biblical story of the Great Flood. When Noah's Ark reached dry land and safety after a 40-day cleansing of the Earth, God made a rainbow to symbolize a 'new order' for Mankind. Rainbows are also symbolic in human folklore as an emblem of rest and repose after a great quest: legends tell that following a rainbow to its end, one will find treasure enough for a life of leisure. 

    The powers behind the Great Reset chose the Rainbow for the same reason: they promise a world free from responsibility and care; though what they don't show is that that world is a Paradise only for themselves, and a sterile, purposeless existence for the rest of us. All of this promotion of 'population control,' 'sterilization campaigns,' 'family planning'---all just terms substituting for Genocide---apply to us, not to them. As the new Master Race, they'll still perpetuate themselves; the Gay Agenda, legal abortion, euthanasia, and extending Cancel Culture to heterosexual behavior is our future, not theirs. 

   While it must admitted that President Erdogan is an accomplished practitioner of Realpolitik (which is probably a survival mechanism in Turkish politics), he is ultimately a Turkish patriot who isn't going to sell out the interests of his country when it really comes down to long-term survival as a culture. Erdogan understands that strong families are the basis of any stable social order, and deserves credit for standing up to Cultural Imperialism. 

     

THE DEEP STATE DOUBLES-DOWN

    President Trump once referred to the American Media as a national disgrace and it truly is. Certainly, the Media isn't the only American institution to which that label could apply, but it is one of the most visible. This last week or so, we saw the embarrassing performance of our nominal Head-of-State at the G20 Summit, where he not only failed to accomplish a single thing, but swooned while speaking and had to be led off stage. His Vice-Premier, Kamala Harris was humiliated at the ASEAN Summit previously. Kamala wasn't phased: she headed off to some dive and a video surfaced of her be-bopping to some rap band. The Media was slobbering over this; as was the public: it was one of 'top-trending' stories of the week. Not much mention was made of the ASEAN Summit, though. Apparently, the propaganda message here was to reassure the Ameroboobs that Kamala still has some energy left, in case Uncle Joe's batteries give out. 

    With these international blunders swept under the rug, the Junta's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anthony Blinken gave an address at Johns Hopkins University, assuring everyone of their firm commitment to the New World Order. This story didn't get a fraction of the interest that Kamala's dance moves did; but it did seem to be a little more significant. His choice of venues made an important statement in its own right. That he made this speech near the 33rd Anniversary of Bush Sr.'s New World Order speech is quite a coincidence too. 

   For those unfamiliar with Johns Hopkins: it's really less of a university and more of a Deep State cutout. This is the locale where such notorious projects as Clade X, Event 201, and SPARS 2025 were conducted. Johns Hopkins' President is a Canadian national and longtime Deep State operative of that country named Ronald Daniels. He's held that position since the Obama Administration and likely will for life. Daniels was awarded Canada's highest civilian medal by Tiananmen Trudeau in 2016. 

   The University is heavily involved with the World Economic Forum and maintains a massive lobbying organization inside the Washington Beltway. The speech itself was held at Johns Hopkins' School of Advanced International Studies which recently opened a new facility at the cost of over $300 million, just a few blocks from the US Capitol and the White House. The Dean of that school is a former Obama operative, James Steinberg; and its faculty includes such Deep State figures as Paul Wolfowitz and Hank Paulsen. Blinken himself won an honorary fellowship at SAIS in 2017.

    Blinken told the crowd of current and aspiring spooks that "What we are experiencing now is more than a test of the post-Cold War order. It's the end of it. Decades of relative geopolitical stability have given way to an intensifying competition with authoritarian powers, revisionist powers," meaning of course China and Russia which are challenging the Western Oligarchy's delusions of a global Great Reset. “One era is ending, a new one is beginning, and the decisions that we make now will shape the future for decades to come.”

    That was a fairly blatant admission of what the goals of this current 'Government' actually are. Blinken, though, wasn't finished: "The US will lead from a position of strength,” he thundered, "When the Beijings and Moscows of the world try to rewrite – or rip down – the pillars of the multilateral system, when they falsely claim that the order exists merely to advance the interests of the West at the expense of the rest, a growing global chorus of nations and people will stand up to say, ‘No, the system you are trying to change is our system. It serves our interests.’”

  The only 'multilateral system' that Blinken means---which leads from 'a position of strength'---is the economic and military concentration of power held by the current US government and the globalist corporations which actually own it. "We are determined to work with any country so long as they want to deliver for their citizens, contribute to solving shared challenges, and uphold the international norms we’ve built together," Blinken added; which doesn't make his claims of 'multilateralism' sound especially convincing. "Our efforts to re-imagine and revitalize our network of allies and partners have put us in a position of strength to meet the defining tests of our era." 

   In what sounded eerily like a WEF Position Paper, Blinken boasted about the Junta's Foreign Policy 'achievements:' "We’ve mobilized hundreds of billions of dollars with the G7 to close the global infrastructure gap... are shaping the rules of the road for AI, and addressing the global synthetic drugs epidemic. We are working not only with governments, but also civil society, the private sector, academia, and citizens, especially young leaders."

   Not that that should be surprising. Blinken's former advisor (and former Biden speechwriter) Jonathan Finer is a WEF member; and Blinken was a mentor to activist and WEF Young Global Leader Ashleigh Streeter-Jones. Finer currently is head of Political Risk and Public Policy at Warburg-Pincus, one of the US' largest private equity firms. Blinken's father was one of Warburg-Pincus' founders. Before holding his current position, Blinken was a Revolving-Door Beltway lobbyist for WestExec. His clients included WEF Top 100 Strategic Partners Bank of America, Facebook/Meta, Uber Technologies, McKinsey & Co., and Lazard; as well as WEF members the Blackstone Group and Boeing. He also represented the Royal Bank of Canada, which later played a significant role in crushing the Canadian Truckers Protest during Blinken's tenure as Secretary of State. In spite of this record, (or possibly because of it), 28 Republican Senators voted for Blinken's confirmation. All of which shows that, in spite of Blinken's rhetoric, our Foreign Policy is really conducted in the interests of an interlocking confederation of crooks. 

    Another point which shouldn't be overlooked is, that while Blinken was addressing foreign policy, the underlying attitude towards domestic policy isn't much different. In fact, commitment to the Great Reset and servility to global economic cabals has been one of---if not the only---consistent feature of this 'administration' since seizing power in 2021. It's something to bear in mind, because sentiments like Blinken advocates doesn't sound as though they're considering going away quietly in 2024. 

   

   

    

US DEEP STATE HUMILIATED AT ASEAN CONFERENCE

      The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) concluded on Thursday in Jakarta, Indonesia. Likely haunted by disturbing memories of his former boss' experiences at ASEAN, Head-of-State Biden delegated representation to his flunky, Kamala Harris. At least Harris and her entourage were spared some of the indignities that previous US delegations received in the East; but despite this, Kamala managed to leave the Summit empty-handed while other regional nations came away with trade deals and other memoranda of cooperation. 

     Kamala arrived with Filipino makapili leader Ferdinand Marcos II, and Japan's nominal president, Fumio Kishida in tow. Marcos is under fire for intentionally grounding a Filipino ship on a Chinese-claimed islet; Kishida also has made himself deeply unpopular in the region, following his decision to release radioactive wastewater from Japan's failed Fukusihma Reactor into the Pacific Ocean. The President of Indonesia, who served as Chairman this year, cautioned members not to exacerbate regional disputes, saying that "We all have a responsibility to not create new conflict, new tension, new war and at the same time we also have a responsibility to reduce tensions." Kamala, of course, violated that precept from the first time she opened her mouth forward. 

      In reality, the US didn't offer the region much of anything other than a commitment to continue the Deep State's hegemonic claims. Kamala denounced the Burmese Government's campaign to suppress a Soros-backed rebellion which is tied to the international Heroin trade, and stirred up the territorial dispute between Indonesia and Timor. She announced the opening of a private-public partnership ASEAN Center in Washington, DC, as if this was supposed to impress anyone. The 'private' end of this arrangement is Arizona State University, an institution which is little more than a front for Corporate America and the Pentagon. ASU has received nearly a billion dollars of its bloated budget from corporations tied to Big Pharma and to exploitative labor practices in Southeast Asia. Recently, some local alumni pulled donations from ASU for its aggressive suppression of freedom of speech. ASU has been run with an iron hand for the last two decades by Michael M. Crow who, like many of his stripe, fancies himself among the elite vanguard qualified to transform the world. 

      Like most of the recent summits in this region, China stood out as the leader in development---mostly because, unlike the US, the Chinese could point to an actual record of tangible achievements. One of the most striking contrasts came when Chinese Premier Li Qiang participated in a test-run of Indonesia's first high-speed rail line, which is scheduled to open October 1st.

     The Jakarta-Bandung Rail Line links two of the most populated cities in Indonesia, reducing a three-hour commute to 40 minutes. The US has no high-speed rail lines in contrast, and our outdated Amtrak passenger-rail system is riddled with crime and frequent accidents. The Indonesian project was financed by China at a cost of $7.3 billion: a fraction of what our Military-Industrial Complex dumps on Taiwan or maintaining our unwanted presence in the South China Sea. Amtrak currently has a repair backlog of over $45 billion and experiences annually over 5,000 hours of commuter delays due to repair-related issues. 

    China itself has a sophisticated high-speed rail system and is adding new lines with regularity. Indonesia is not the first country in which China has invested rail technology; much of Indonesia's decision was based upon the highly-successful China-Laos Railway. Thailand and Cambodia are also working with China to create a spur which will feed into the China-Laos Line. 

     The reason that the US is losing to China isn't complex. The reason is, flatly speaking, because we have nothing to offer. The Chinese offer goods and services that other countries need in fair exchange for goods and services that China needs. The US offers military support for unpopular governments in exchange for exporting our cultural rot and importing resources at the expense of foreign labor and mass-unemployment and inflation in our own country. China talks about the need to expand cooperation as the world grows; our leaders talk of depopulating the planet so that more resources are available to the self-appointed 'elite.' 

    The people of Southeast Asia aren't buying into the exceptionalist malarkey any longer. The results of the two approaches have become apparent for anyone---other than the dumbed-down, doped-up American population---to see. Freight disasters like the recent East Palestine incident and violent crime and deteriorating conditions on Amtrak will continue, and Ameroboobs will accept it as another New Normal. 

     

MEDIA SILENT AS US AG EXPORTS HIT RECORD HIGH

       The hyenas in the Corporate Media have been spending Thanksgiving Week doing what they do best: sex-shaming men while simultaneously peddling salacious soft-core stories to titillate all those who are 'above' such things. Sex sells; and the Media no doubt needs something to boost their ratings since its predicted that the traditional Thanksgiving Day NFL games will be the least-watched ever.

        We can all be thankful, though, for America's farmers and ranchers. And they, in turn, can be thankful for the Trump Administration. The USDA announced on Monday that Fiscal Year 2017 will be the 3rd-highest year of American agricultural exports since President Lincoln established the cabinet post in 1862. Exports totaled over $140 billion: up 30% from Obama's last year in office. 

        Soybean exports were the commodity leader; hitting a record high and likely about to go higher. President Trump negotiated a lifting of China's import ban on soybeans in Beijing last week. Indeed, China has surged to become America's leading agricultural customer. This is largely again due to Trump negotiating Chinese purchases of rice and beef earlier this year. China had a ban on importing both for over a decade. 

          Cotton exports jumped 70% with wheat (21%) and corn (6%) rounding out the top gains.

          It's interesting to note that the countries following China as top importers were also countries with whom Trump negotiated trade deals. In second place is Canada, with whom Trump negotiated a bilateral lifting of trade restrictions last Spring. Mexico is third, with whom Trump negotiated a deal on sugar and corn. The Japanese Empire is fourth; the Imperial Cabinet recently agreed to lift bans on US potatoes and poultry. South Korea, the fifth, repealed bans on American poultry last Summer and has also agreed to import eggs, though with some conditions. 

         As a holiday side note, cranberry and pumpkin production was also up slightly, although these crops are not widely exported. Turkey production was stable. Mexico is America's largest importer of turkeys, accounting for about 70% US turkey exports. 

         One would think that a story like this would be headline news. American Agriculture today is a Bull Market. For the first time in decades, we're starting to see significant entrepreneurial interest in farming, fisheries, and processing. Trump's recent meetings at the ASEAN Summit holds promise for expanding exports into Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines---representing a consumer base of nearly 300 million people. 

         A lot more exciting than hearing about who pinched some newswoman's tush 30 years ago, don't you think? While the media dwells on that, though; others are busy feeding the world.
