This is almost exactly Charles Haywood, whatifalthist, and Astral Flight Simulation's views... Charles in particular has been predicting a coming regime fracture for years with a situation of "Caesarism" to follow under someone like Elon Musk and a very very different political and social Overton window under the side.

Thanks for the amazing article as always Simplicius!

Eric's comments on that podcast about what the regime instruments of control have meant for science/technology were the wildest and most interesting of the things he said. Specifically when he suggested that maybe nuclear bombs are very easy to make technically speaking but the "global order" requires as one of its secret unwritten agreements that science be misdirected down to blind alleys to make it seem more difficult. I'm not sure whether breaking that lie is all good or all bad, but it surely would be one of the biggest dupes of history.

I ran into Ronald Reagan at the G7 Conference in Toronto as I was tasked with delivering a locked box of stuff at a building next door. Needless to say the Toronto Police bomb squad went through that box after I unlocked it. While we were walking away, I asked the cop if he ever got real bombs to deal with and he said "Oh Christ yes. All the time". I asked him why we never heard about them in the press and he said "That's the whole point, we don't want anymore customers.". Governments don't want the people to know how vulnerable the governments are, how effective their means of protest and resistance are and what they can get away with.

Huge fundamental error. The British Constitution is the best and most comprehensive on earth. It is NOT codified, but it too 800 years of fighting to achieve and it can be seen and studied in tne House of Commons Library. Go in as ask for the ‘Constitutional Statutes’. There are hundreds, these include the Monarch’s Oath of Allegiance, the Act of Union (with Scotland when the Scottish King took the throne of England) the Abolition of Slavery, the Magna Carta (removing governing rights from the King) Harbeous Corpus (safeguarding the citizen from the violent state) etc etc etc.

Therefore the rest of the article is rubbish.

I’m sorry to have to say that.

This is WRONG. You can see the Constitutional Statutes. The British Constitution operates thus: the latest Will of Parliament impliedly repeals previous statutes in part or in whole that it contradicts. No Parliament can bind it’s successors, so all laws enacted can be changed or repealed. They are repealed because we don’t have contradictory laws in force. This is not universal, which is why, for instance in Italy, you can pay a Judge to apply the law which exonerates you.

But the Constitutional Statutes are different. They have to be EXPLICITLY repealed. They cannot be IMPLIEDLY repealed by a contradictory law. And for your information, Edward Heath did NOT EXPLICITLY repeal the Constitutional statutes that the Treaty Of Rome contradicted. So the U.K. did not ‘accede to the EU in accordance with its laws’ as demanded by the EU.

The U.K. was NEVER de jure a member of the EU, but the political parties selected candidates who acted as if we were members - and still do - so even in spite of Brexit, de facto we are members.

And that is the problem in Britain. The political class with the support of the Constitutional Monarch (their only job is to defend the Constitution against all political parties which it constrains) have broken our laws and constitution.

It will take a civil war to recover.

Your "best and most comprehensive Constitution on earth" is deemed as such by the power brokers whose interest lies with ordinary people NOT having a clear picture of their rights and liberties.

For example, what happened to your Habeas Corpus Act during the Plandemic? Or even as we speak, with regards to domestic civil opposition to the UK gov:s complicity with the genocide in Gaza?

The problem is that successful strategies can be learned and copied by the ruthless, regardless of the original authors.

I think though, Lynn, that you and Simplicius hint at a possible solution.

You mentioned that the role of the Monarch was to defend a nation's constitution, whether written or unwritten, against all political parties.

I say constitution with a small 'c', as the common heritage and traditional mutual understanding that constitutes an ethnostate, a 'nation', from the Latin 'natio' meaning 'extended family'.

The power of the medieval Church was as a seperate authority apart from the political; should a king declare an unjust edict, the bishops could tell the commons to simply ignore it. Likewise, were we to have a Sovereign- that is, 'self ruled', as the body of a nation is meant to be- that Sovereign could be the representative of the interest of the commons against the interest of the powerful.

This is only possible in a homogenous ethnostate, a nation, else the king can only be a tyrant.

The creation of the Bank of England in 1689 enabled the creation of the first Parliament in 1694. Thus it was that the oligarchs found an alternate external authority to both Throne and Altar.

Too late was the odious Lord Commander disinterred and his skull put on a pike, after opening the door to an alien power. That scheming piker, William of Orange, should be up there with him for selling out to the foreign bankers and their proffered gifts.

None of those British documents are binding on British law in any way that can be enforced. The U.K. is a civil law system, not a common law system. There is no precedent that a British judge considers when applying the law. There is no appeal possible when someone believes a British law is in conflict with the Act of Union (or any other Constitutional Statute) in the U.K. (except perhaps to the EU's HRC - which is a common law institution and a different body of precedent).

British judges decide whether a law passed by Parliament is properly applied in a case. U.S. judges also decide whether the law is proper (in certain circumstances), weighed against the common law and the Constitution.

The U.S. Constitution is not the source of law in the States. It is applied against the existing common law; when conflicts arise on the interpretation of clauses in the U.S. Constitution, precedent is used to resolve that conflict (the intention of the legislators, U.S. judicial precedent, British judicial precedent before Independence, and stretching back to the civil law codified by Justinian during the Roman Empire, which is the "starting point" for U.S. law).

Expand full comment

They are ALL binding on British law which predate the Roman Empire by millennia. We had the assizes and in fact NEVER adopted Roman Dutch law.

We are struggling to assert our sovereignty in the face of all party political terror. They don’t believe they can run a country and we agree.

As a result the ‘latest will of Parliament’ is that British judges enact EU law, that’s why we don’t challenge in courts because we have no British Courts. Only EU courts.

That’s why I have said that this can only be resolved by the real Sovereigns in any republic (Britain has been a de jure Republic since 1217) and that is The People. They will have to fight for it.

Perchance my Lady is mistaken ? There is no single document that is called the Constitution in England. They loosely use the term to refer to a whole pile of laws, documents, rulings and treaties as their constitutional framework but that is not a Constitution in the common sense of the word. It's like me saying "I have the greatest swimming pool in the world. There is no water in it nor does it have any depth to it, but it is distributed as a disorganized bunch of puddles in various locations". From the Wiki "Constitution of the United Kingdom, "" Unlike in most countries, no official attempt has been made to codify such arrangements into a single document, thus it is known as an uncodified constitution. This enables the constitution to be easily changed as no provisions are formally entrenched. "" What kind of a bleeping constitution can easily be changed and has nothing entrenched ? Sounds like an antiConstitution to me.

A single document entitled ‘The Constitution’ is a CODIFIED CONSTITUTION’ the U.K. does NOT have a codified Constitution. It has hundreds of CONSTITUTIONAL STATUTES. Each one fought for - it has taken 800 years to put together the massive, comprehensive, sophisticated library of documents. The U.K. is not a Mickey Mouse thrown together a hundred years ago entity, like Germany or the USA. The USA does not even have a NATION.

The Constitution, per the Federalist papers makes it clear that is does NOT define a citizen, but rather defines the central power, specifically what powers it has must be written while unwritten powers are retained by the people and the states.

Democracy to the extent that it ever existed is in its death throes in the UK. Habeas corpus has done little to protect freedom of speech and journalists or people contra the narrative or establishment- eg recently Kit Klarenburg arrested at Heathrow; the treatment of Julian Assange; the 2 two tier system of justice, ie the prosecution and ridiculous sentences handed down to protesters in northern England; the concept of non crime hate speech; the treatment of Julian Assange, Mark Steyn, the banks closing Farage's and many other's bank accounts for political reasons etc etc!

True.

Fuck, it really curdles my milk when these "geniuses" rewrite history.

First of all, some kind of elite having "top down" control over the populace, whether through brute force or elaborate trickery, is NOT millenia old. It just isn't. Or at least it isn't all places. That's more of that Eurocentric racism talking, as if every culture that ever existed (such as Ancient Egypt) was either a precursor or is a descendent of the European Way.

No, damnit, no! There was no fucking representational democracy until Europeans washed up on the shores of North America (not Central/South America, obviously). Before that, it was considered unquestionably true that people were born in castes (you know, the thing that Buddha actually fought against) and there was literally nothing you could do to change it.

In reality, the peoples of North America had no ruling elite. There was no such thing as a All-Powerful Elite who could tell another person what to do. And the representational democracy (European label to try and make it seem as though the Ancient Greeks magically contributed to it via osmosis) was a last-ditch wartime effort to try and stave off the European invaders. And they definitely don't want you to know that, which is why they rebranded every Indian they met as a king (see King Philip's War) or later a "chief", which is just code for "non-European dictator."

As for what real anarchy in the United States would look like, all you have to do is look at the example of the 2005 hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. The government utterly failed to provide adequate relief, so the PEOPLE stepped in. In fact, it was going so well that they literally sent provocateurs in to start shooting up the place to SPIN it as some kind of chaotic descent into anarchy. But when you erase the spin and the retcon job afterward from the media, 2005 New Orleans shows just how well even the poorest, "uneducated" people did once the government was removed from the picture (once the gov't did arrive, of course, they stuffed people into poison boxes and then Heckuva Job Brownie).

Still, though, all this talk of piercing through the illusions is kind of a masturbatory exercise because even if you did manage to convince your neighbor that this is all bullshit, then what?

On one hand, most people have been neutered so bad that they can't even light a fire with a pack of matches or cook a pot of rice. And on the other hand, they're using the cops to shut down things like collecting rainwater and raising chickens for the few remaining non-neutered people who have the skills to try to leave the grid. So these assholes aren't gonna quit - they'll kill us all with nuclear war or some other form of mass genocide, even if it means they die, too (or maybe they'll upload their egos into a computer or whatever).

Oh, as for China and the "wonders" of Confucianism, let's not forget that they got usurped by a class of eunuchs (who LITERALLY had their balls cut off, something the wokies are increasingly embracing as "affirming care") who burned down all their ships and turned China into a cuck for Western powers for 500 years or so. So yeah, not exactly a winning strategy even for the fucking emperors. The Forbidden City is now a tourist trap, for goodness sake.

One day, God willing, so will the White House be. And then we can all enjoy being Daniel Boones with internet.

"Trump, as Weinstein notes, was the first to unexpectedly break through this system by being from the ‘outside’, having never priorly served in office nor the military."

So, I think the interesting question is why is this happening now and not 30 years ago? This silent code that Trump has broken through isnt just words among the shadowy ruling class. It's based on a certain economic and thus social stability. 2008 was the beginning of the end of the post war stability, itself artificially prolonged by the collapse of the Soviet Union. The post war stability has become its opposite. The public feels it and Trump channelled that discontent to a certain, very limited extent. But, that discontent has grown beyond what he's willing and able to do to satisfy it. Bernie did it too, but then bowed before the power and dropped it for a comfy position. I think Trump feels it is about him and Bernie is aware it's a powerful social force one is tapping into. It frightens Bernie and Trump thinks it's just a reflection of his own personal power.

Obviously, Trump and Bernie aren't ready for the radical change the population quietly but increasingly wants.: an end to the genocide, to the war on Russia, to gross economic and thus political inequality. Both have proven their inability to resolve anything. But together they did initiate a very limited turn to the working class as opposed to a bunch of false identities and single issues.

Going forward the program of opposition to Imperialist war, to capitalism (their system) and to this false "representative" bourgeois democracy is the key. The party or leader that can win the workers with this program will have the power to make it happen and inherit the country. This is the bright side of things. So collosal a breakdown of the system and it's ruling elite is a rare opportunity for long overdue radical change. That change isn't just desirable anymore. It's existential. If the lunatics running our country are not totally removed from power, nuclear Armageddon is on the menu.

Trump and Bernie were just the first symptoms. The root is the economic and geopolitical breakdown of US Imperialism. That has and will continue to make greater numbers receptive to ever more radical political alternatives.

The question now is not who will be our next superhero, but rather what will be our party, what will be our program, how do we survive as an organized group under constant RC attack?

Interesting, but....

From Why The West Can't Win:

"Democracy made by the Money Powers for the Money Powers

"Western democracies was based on the millennial Roman recipe – give the poor bread and circuses and they will not revolt.... political systems, spectator sports and media entertainment, are the modern day circuses"

The central question is not whether governance is BY the people, but whether governance is FOR the people. You partially answer that in:

"But there is a big difference: this style works for China because it is an ideological ethnostate whose leaders sprout from the same stock as the common people. They can be entrusted to have the people’s interests in mind" ..." the West, the elites appropriating this model are internationalists who adhere to exogenous cultural markers, answer to foreign masters"

From "Clash of Civilizations with Nihilism":

"‘civilization’ is the result of an evolutionary process refined over centuries or millennia during which roots in the communal psyche grow and are reinforced.....

Civilization thus refers to religions, forms of governance, laws, culture, traditions, way of life that have evolved over extended periods of time in various communities towards the CONTINUOUS BETTERMENT OF COMMUNAL LIFE.

A deep rooted civilization is proof of a successful evolutionary process in which the community’s long term wellbeing and survival is prioritized. It is the historical survival of a particular community that develops it into a civilization; otherwise it will disappear from history."

Based on the above, the ideal governance is SURELY NOT democracy, rather it is the governance model that is rooted in the civilizational heritage of a society.

"

Expand full comment

Methinks you just hit a nail on the head up there, specifically with regards to your definition of ‘civilization’ as "the result of an evolutionary process refined over centuries or millennia during which roots in the communal psyche grow and are reinforced....."

If you ponder deep enough, you might realize that in essence there is no such thing as a "Western civilization", simply because the West in its entirety hasn't shared a common history dating back centuries or millennia prior to the establishment of the "New World Order" post WWII. Heck, not even Europe can boast about sharing the same cultures, traditions, laws or general way of life.

That is in part why, as Simplicius astutely observes in the article, Chinese elites share a much broader common ground with ordinary Chinese plebes, in contrast to their "Western" counterparts who only feel contempt for their lesser compatriots on-paper. The notion of patriotic duty and cultural belonging is nonexistent in Western elites, which is why the West is doomed unless "the deplorables" rise up and overthrow the unruly satraps.

Agree fully with you. Western civilization aka European civilization was corrupted early on due to distortions of Christianity. Laurent Guyenot explains this very well in a series of articles: https://www.unz.com/author/laurent-guyenot/

But the greatest damage to European civilization was with "Liberalism" and "Age of Enlightenment" and the banker financed "revolutions".

If humanity is a divine construct, or an intelligent design, then we are right at home.

The construct can't be outplayed, or governed fairly, only understand on the individual level.

The construct is provided with polarities, good and evil, rulers and the ruled, trials and tribulations.

This is the design, that can provide learning curve, there is no other way to evolve from knowledge to understanding. Knowledge is of time, it is the self, understanding is not of time and not the self.

Lot's of good insights, though I think you underestimate the extent to which many people have clearly seen and understood how so-called liberal democracies function since their very inception in the 18th century. Workers movements in the West emerged very early on to demand a more equitable share of the wealth being generated by industrial capitalism. And these have been systematically resisted by state power at every step. So it has never been the case that the charade of Western liberal democracies has been without active resistance from the masses.

Similarly, I simply don't understand why it is so difficult to recognize that Trump is simply another grifter taking advantage of the opportunity to enrich himself and his family by playing both sides against the middle. He is not an ennobled "class traitor" leading the people into the promised land of "freedom". When he was in power he pursued the identical policies as his predecessors, both on domestic and foreign policy. To imagine that the Deep State has its daggers out for him is fantasy. And if it did want him gone I'm sure it possesses the capabilities of doing so without recourse to rank amateur "lone wolves" who can't hold a candle to professionals skilled in the art of such things.

Finally, you overstate the cultural homogeneity of Chinese leadership.
