I Can Tell You How the American Empire Will End

The Deep State will destroy the nation from within.

If you think that the Western “dissident” coverage of the Donbass war is bad … well, it is bad, let’s just get that out of the way first. The Russian army has had to retreat from Lyman and you simply would not have known that if you still listened to the various ZAnon media operations.

Also, Putin finally allowed for the striking of bridges across the Dniepr in Kiev.

We were told for years that this was:

• Impossible, Soviet engineering was indestructible
• Immoral, Putin was fighting a humanitarian war
• Irrelevant, the more NATO supplies and UAF troops sent to the Donbass the better, the goal of the war was to “meat grind” (genocide) the male population of Ukraine, for Orthodox Multipolar Christian Values reasons.

Now that they have been destroyed, suddenly the logic of preventing supplies and soldiers flowing into Donbass makes perfect sense to everyone who decried these measures literally the day prior.

Depicted: the Dniepr bridge was built “hollow” to make it light, which also make it easy to destroy.

Do you know what ZAnon reminds me of?

It reminds me of the QAnon/MIGA shills who cheered mindlessly for Trump’s admin and all of the deeply unpopular policies that they enacted, and their tone-deaf and antagonistic media strategy. Despite all the evidence on the ground that the GOP was heading for a disaster, these shills kept claiming that a landslide victory for Trumpism would occur in these midterms. Hell, they’re now claiming that JD Vance and Rubio are shoo-ins for 2028, if you can believe it! What’s more, we are learning that their coordinated shilling also made its way up to the White House, as part of a kind of positive feedback loop that the White House relied on to gauge public reaction to their policies.

Andrew Korybko believes that there is a similar kind of “Potemkinism” at play with the Kremlin too. That is, just like in America, the Kremlin hires shills to gas themselves up and argue for what a good job they’ve been doing, how popular their measures are internationally, etc. Then these exact same shills, shills that the Kremlin pays for, are shown to higher-ups in the Kremlin to mollify and massage their egos. So, basically, we have a closed feedback loop of yesman shilling.

And everyone wins within this system except truth-tellers.

The bosses reward those who stroke their egos, and so the underlings hire shills who can construct flattering ideological narratives. The inanities of their own hired shills are then passed back up the chain to the bosses, earning the subordinates a pat on the head, and a bonus for the media shills all the way downstream of the Kremlin.

Win-Win-Win.

…

But none of this is to imply that public opinion sways policy.

Policies are decided upon by the “Deep State” which is just the chimera of the secret police (the Krypteia) and the state-sponsored businessmen (the Oligarchia) working together. And it is this chimera that destroys an empire from within, eventually. The mechanism by which this occurs is through an “overproliferation of parasitism”. Basically, the secret police and the oligarchs steal too much and their numbers swell too quickly and overwhelm the productive part of the economy. Like any parasite or infection in a living body, the host is eventually overwhelmed by the predation of the parasite. In real terms, this just means that more and more of society is monopolized by the Isra-Elite that rule it. So, for example, Tucker Carlson decided to blurt out the following statistic on his recent show analyzing the GOP midterms loss.

He said:

The funny thing about that outburst was that it was in the context of Tucker actually defending Putin, his friend Joe Kent, (and himself) by saying that, basically, it isn’t a big deal to be a part of the secret police because there are already so many members of that network in positions of power in America and abroad so it is hypocritical to bring these facts up and hold them against Kent, Putin (and himself) when everyone in power is a spook themselves.

While these things are hard to measure, it is a fair bet to say that the share of congress members who are “former” agents and officers in the secret police has grown exponentially from the end of WWII to now. This is already a clear sign of the parasitism getting out of control and entering its terminal phase. If half of Congress has already been eaten up by the secret police, then America is rapidly reaching Russia levels of Deep State parasitism.

You’ve heard it said that Putin’s Russia is a KGB state, right?

Well, what that means is that one needs to have been part of the KGB to then go into civilian life and reap the rewards. After performing one’s duties well in the KGB/FSB, the reward usually takes the form of being given a factory, a governorship, a seat in the Duma, one’s wife is put in charge of an art gallery that has its masterpieces worth millions start disappearing, etc. Most of United Russia’s members have previous careers tied to the old KGB and the FSB. The entire new aristocracy of Russia are families that had and have KGB connections — that is all that Perestroika accomplished. The military, the old civilian government, and most of the ruling party were purged, and everything was taken over by the KGB. To be anybody in the new Russian Federation, to be a “noble” that can even participate in the economy or the politics, you had to be member of that network.

Hell, even Strelkov, who we like over here on this blog was an FSB field officer. It is probably the only reason why he has only been imprisoned and not killed off like all of the other famous Donbass Commanders. The “nobility” of any empire have special privileges, which means that the rule of the law applies to them in a far greater capacity than it does to everyone else. It is also probably why Tucker is allowed to openly speak his mind on YouTube, of all place. Tucker almost flat-out openly talks about the problem of Jewish power — again, on YouTube! Everyone else has to tip-toe around draconian and ever-expanding cenorship and isn’t even allowed to use vast swathes of English words like k*ll or su*cide or j*w because the AI automatically filters for them and penalizes the accounts that use them.

And this idea is as old as Plato and Aristotle, remember?

In Aristotle’s system, which is based on Sparta, there are famously two sets of laws. The Elite are given the protections of the system and its laws, whereas everyone else is subject to Natural Law, i.e., the law of the jungle and have no protections besides that which Lady Luck or the patronage of another deity might bestow upon them. As an aside, hard times in which corruption flourishes are times when the masses turn to “superstition” because they cannot find protection anywhere else. It is easy to mock the masses who, in their despair, turn to prayer and petitions directed at an uncaring and unresponding deity. For that reason, I try not to mock the impulse, even if I don’t agree with the theology and believe that it is an exercise in futility. When I was in a couple of tough jams (and still Orthodox), I prayed for help that never arrived, so I am no better than anyone in that regard.

If you were to expand the scope of your investigation, you would find that, well, just about everyone in the American media is/was an intelligence agent/officer or that members of their immediate family were. Tucker Carlson, for all of his good work, gets very flustered about his father’s career as a drug runner in South America, as a propagandist for Neocon Trotskyite propaganda beamed into the USSR, and his own early involvement in Nicaraguan regime change, or his full-throated support for the Deep State in the early part of his career (how else did he get on cable TV in the first place?) and his supposedly rejected application to become a full-fledged CIA officer after he finished college. Putin was right to point out that they had something in common during their famous interview. The media has been called the “Mockingbird Media” for a long time, in reference to the leaked CIA project to buy or kill off all the journalists in society from the 70s onwards.

But even within the American economy, entire industries are now controlled by the secret police, who staff it with their alumni. The tech industry is the obvious example, created as it was by ARPA (then DARPA) and the Navy. And why was all that tech developed in the first place? Well, it was to expand the capabilities of the American military. Everyone knows by now that Zuckerberg’s Facebook project was financed by the CIA’s front investment fund, In-Q-Tel (Aviv). And who is running the Palantir project to set up an AI-run real-time mass surveillance state? The same intelligence agencies that killed JFK, probably.

How is it that a system as dead-locked and slow as the American one, is able to ram through measures to quietly and quickly set up a sprawling network of data centers all over America? Well, it is because the same people, the Deep State chimera, are behind the effort. And they are not constrained by “Culture War” issues or bipartisan gridlock like we are. When we want something fixed or done or repealed or implemented, we are quickly reminded of the frustrating fact that we live in a Democracy, which means that nothing that we want to get done will get done.

Usually this gridlock is just caused by a nice old lady or two (with obscene wealth that no one knows where it came from) who have quietly been sitting on the board of whatever council or committee we have to go through to get permits/permissions/votes/etc. They are people with almost no media profiles that sit for decades at a time in various offices and who mysteriously veto projects seemingly at random in just about every single locale. We are told that the inability to get anything concrete and measurable and real done through government, regardless of how “local” it is, is because the system is designed that way to prevent the rise of Fascism. The system is too moral to be effective and efficient, see? Lest an Authoritarian promising to get things done be allowed to rise up through the ranks.

But when they need something done, they suddenly acquire the power of the Egyptian Pharaohs to effect massive infrastructure projects with the snap of their fingers. And what is worse, the banality of this control system seems almost too mundane and boring to even comment on or to complain about intelligently.

…

In America, the land of the free market and opportunity, the average middle or even upper middle class person can’t even set up a coffee shop in their neighborhood. There is so much red tape and so much risk in the proposition that most people just put their money into stocks or real estate instead. But in every town with any serious money living there, there is also a family or several families of privilege who are somehow able to open cafes and buy out magazines with ease. No rules seem to apply to them — even though their kids, usually the class president or head of some athletic team, crashed the BMW into a fire hydrant while high and smashed the leg of an old lady walking her dog in the process. Somehow, after some community service and appearances at the Episcopalian/Presbyterian/Anglican church for a month or two, the matter is hushed up. But if you had done something like that, your life would be ruined, of course. And when an episode of Housewives is filmed in their town, they’re the ones with the camera crews in their foyers filming the tasteful interior decor.

Money, friends, gossip and privilege circles these privileged families like a tornado.

I was classmates with the daughter of one such family when I was still in school. She herself was nice enough, quite kind and charming even, even though she could have easily been a monster and not suffered any social penalties for it, actually. Being born to such privilege doesn’t make a make a person inherently evil. Some of these scions and heirs are quite embarrassed by their families’ wealth and backstories, I’ve found. Regardless, her family really did own most of the property on the main street of the tiny little downtown that everyone liked to spend their weekends dining out on. It was also a big deal when their family bought out the local lifestyle and real estate magazine, which chronicled property values and showcased interior remodeling projects.

To have one’s home featured on its illustrious, glossy, full color pages was the crowning ambition of most of the housewives in the county. Women invested hundreds of thousands of dollars of their husbands’ or fathers’ money on this interior decoration arms race. Somehow, this information trickled down to the children, who, despite hardly understanding any of it, nonetheless established social hierarchies in school that closely mirrored the net worth of the parents and their rank in the adult social hierarchy. Anyway, long story short, you always end up finding out that the top families always had rumored ties to organized crime or to the secret police. Like, the top drug dealer at my school was from a very powerful Jewish family that did those IDF summer camp programs for the youth and whose father owned a beverage company that he sold to Coca-Cola for, well, hundreds of millions of dollars. Somehow, everyone in school knew this story, even though none of us were old enough to truly understand. That family had three brothers, and each one of them became the chief drug suppliers for the children by the time they got to high school. Everyone, even the police, knew this. But nothing was ever done about it.

So it goes.

Later in life, when I moved to spend some time living with my grandparents in Ukraine, I was amused to find that the people living there had the same conversations that you’d hear at dinner time at a neighbor’s house in America. “Where did so and so get the money for that giant house and wall around it that they had built? Well, Tanya’s wife’s friends’ nanny who works for them said that they …”.

…

A “Late Stage” Empire is an empire that has stopped expanding.

What that means in RealPolitik terms is that it cannot incentivize its own Elite to stay loyal and follow the rules and not destroy the empire from within by infighting. So long as the pie is expanding, the efforts of the Elite can be spent on expanding the empire and claiming the benefits of that expansion. Like, new mines that are conquered in a new colony overseas, new oil wells, new markets that have been opened at the point of a gun — the Elite must cooperate to secure these new assets. Once you have, you can sell Coca-Cola to the people that you have helped “liberate” from a previous government.

Thereby the Elites at home get their dividends and bonuses and thus their wives get their interiors remodeled and featured in the pages of the lifestyle magazines, or, maybe even on a Housewives type show, which gets that what they truly desire — the gnashing, gnawing, greedy envy of their peers and social lessers.

So it flows.

Trump’s gangster-style foreign policy was just this exact policy in action. He was seeking to secure loot for himself and his cabal of Isra-Elites. By the time that he is out of office, he will have secured Cuba’s lucrative monopoly market for them too, I am sure.

Read this:

Should the Kushner deal with Putin go ahead, Trump will have secured loot for the American Isra-Elite in Sakhalin and the Arctic Circle. If he gets Zelensky out of office (it still looks very unlikely) and puts a man into power who is willing to do business with the GOP’s Elite, then he will expand the pie for his cabal into Ukraine as well.

The American homeland itself is starting to look very much like a corpse.

With all the industry gone, and all the loyal middle-class customers who used to pay good money for drugs dead from the introduction of fentanyl and clot shot vaccines, what is left? All that is left, really, seems to be Silicon Valley proprietary software, the American War Industry Complex, the Healthcare industry (which is just a scam to steal taxpayer money) and maybe the LNG that America still produces and forces Europe to buy at a huge mark up.

Regardless, as the Secret Police expands, it needs to secure sinecures for its loyalists. And as the Oligarchy expands, it needs to do the same.

What happens when 50% of the property on the Ye Olde Downtown road becomes 100% and all of it belongs to one crime family?

Put simply: if the loot runs out, the in-fighting will begin.

If America doesn’t expand its Empire and thereby create new looting opportunities for its constantly expanding “Chimera Class”, then they will start squabbling over the shrinking pie. This is a vicious cycle. The Chimera-imposed policies are unfair and unpopular, leading to more discontent among the population, which require the Chimera to expand its operations to monitor and suppress the discontent that they themselves have engendered. So far though, we’ve only really glimpsed the preliminary opening skirmishes of an intra-Elite civil war of sorts.

Elites like Tucker know that the war against Iran will not increase his share of the pie.

Remember that Tucker is obscenely wealthy; his maternal great-great-great-grandfather was Henry Miller, a German-American businessman historically known as the “Cattle King of California”. At its peak, the family’s holdings reportedly included 3 million acres of land spanning California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada. This land legacy later generated significant income for Carlson through oil and gas royalties. And his family then acquired even more money from their marriage into the Swanson family (frozen foods, TV dinners sold to the proles). All together, Tucker alone might have as much as 200 million dollars just from his familial ties. Add the tens of millions that he made on Fox News or the tens of millions that he makes on YouTube now, with each of his videos interrupted by 16 Google Ads advertisements and his own 30 second plugs for gold, life insurance, overpriced Navy SEAL coffee and you’re looking at someone who can well and truly consider himself a member of the minor oligarchate that rules America.

What he and other disgruntled nobles like him want, is to renegotiate terms with their senior partners in the ruling Chimera.

The Judeo part of the Judeo-Anglo ruling coalition that rules America has strip-mined America and has not shared in the profits of these Imperial wars for Israel in the Middle East. Elites like the Carlson family are not making any/enough money off of the heroin trade run by the Navy SEALs or the weapons sales to Zelensky’s SBU or the bombing operations over Iran. What you see now is them playing a game of brinksmanship with the Isra- part of the Isra-Elite, essentially.

They will rally and then withdraw popular American support for the Isra-Elite and their wars and their various other looting schemes, like the AI data centers, probably. This is already happening, of course and that is why Tucker is popular. But it probably won’t get very far. The Great Tucker Rebellion probably doesn’t have enough internal Elite support to avoid being shut down by the Chimera, eventually.

Had one of America’s purported enemies actually reared itself up and struck a blow across the ravenous maw of the Empire’s armies (like Russia, Iran, China), then this could have led to a cascading effect of intra-Elite infighting and the undermining the American Empire from within. But, unfortunately, all of America’s imperial wars appear to be going quite well. They aren’t losing any troops, they aren’t suffering any defeats, and most importantly, the pie keeps expanding. So, there isn’t really any reason for the Isra-Elite in America to begin fighting amongst themselves for shares of a decreasing pie.

Not yet, anyway.

None of this really concerns you and me though.

Our best bet is to use this time to study and to learn the names of the people with the power, and the names of their internal opponents, and to better understand how their control grid operates to keep the huge, seething mass of poor and disgruntled people in a state of constant confusion and fear and an inability to resist the Chimera (the Krypteia and the Oligarchia).

…

What else can we do?
