Civilization’s Dead End, part 1

EVENTS OF THE LAST month show signs of an acceleration in the developing situation in Ukraine. It is as yet difficult to say exactly where we are headed, but it is clear that some major geopolitical rearrangement will happen. That is inevitable for the simple reason that both sides of the conflict want a rearrangement, a new division of spheres of influence. No one seems to be content with the status quo as it was. Obviously, the Kremlin and the West see the potential rearrangement differently.

Both sides prefer to make only limited sacrifices to achieve their ends; neither the Kremlin nor the West wants to engage in a World-War-2-style mortal battle. But the inexorable logic behind today’s events is pulling the entire situation into something more and more resembling precisely that kind of extermination struggle.

Here I want to outline our interests in the ongoing events, and to put all factors of the Russia/Ukraine conflict into proper perspective. First, I need to repeat the axiomatic fact that neither of the belligerents should be considered more beneficial to our cause than the other. Each side is but one variation of globalism. Therefore, the only sensible attitude for us to take is to remain neutral.

As it is almost always the case, this struggle is multidimensional and can’t be described in simple terms. It is the vector sum of many influences. I think that the main factor behind the Kremlin’s decision to invade Ukraine was Chinese backing. I even suspect that China was successful in gaining control over the key decision-makers in the Kremlin; most probably through various corruption schemes. If that is the case, then China will simply dictate to them what they should do next.

There is a well-known method of criminal investigation: When we learn who is the main beneficiary of a crime, this beneficiary becomes the main suspect. It is all too obvious that the only beneficiary of what has been happening in the last few months is China. It has gained more influence than has Russia; it buys Russian mineral resources at a discount, and sells its goods to Russia at ever higher prices. Besides that, all trained and effective Russian troops have now been moved from the Far East and Siberia into Ukraine. It is an almost perfect arrangement. Taking into account the Chinese obsession with eventual annexation of the Far East, this turn of events is greatly in their favor and is why we must consider China as a chief suspect.

From the very outset of the conflict, even before the war started, it was obvious that Russia had nothing to gain from it. Regardless, the war started. If Putin was the originator of this idea, he would have started the invasion back in 2014 when it was still feasible to occupy the whole of Ukraine. But now, after years of active preparation by the Ukrainian military, and after that military’s ever-increasing combat experience, to throw Russia’s mostly low-quality units against such an enemy was sheer insanity. It simply makes no strategic sense. No coherent and sagacious leader, or group of leaders, would do that. That is why I adhere to the opinion that the Kremlin was forced into this move. If China holds the strings of corruption on enough Russian leaders, that would not be a difficult task.

But why is China doing this?

Besides weakening Russia and gaining economic leverage over her, the war in Europe has disrupted the long-term American program of strategic encirclement of China.

In essence, this brilliant strike has successfully broken the ever-tightening ring of the American military around China. America has been compelled to transfer substantial assets into Europe. Washington was hesitant to do so at first; they didn’t want to disrupt their arrangement in the Asia-Pacific region. Only after two or three months of active fighting in Ukraine, and after seeing that there was no end in sight, the US started its global reshuffling of resources. This was a strategic victory for China, which so far has been successful in all of its strategic schemes.

At the same time, China officially holds an aloof position as a neutral state; and even mildly criticizes its Kremlin client. We know this trick from mundane human interactions. It is used all too frequently when a true initiator of malicious designs makes a pretense of criticizing its puppet for being “too aggressive.” It is like a parent hitting his child in public in order to show everyone how he tries to discourage him from doing bad things. I don’t believe in China’s innocence. China is now a main contender for global domination. It is bound to have a military conflict with America at some point. But China, instead of hurtling headlong into open military confrontation, like Japan did in 1941, prefers to use dying-out Russia as its puppet.

Russia is used as a tool for strategic reconnaissance in force, a method widely used by Soviet commanders in World War 2: A military unit was sent against well-defended German defense positions in order to provoke the Germans into disclosing their weapons positions. In the process, the attacking unit was almost completely annihilated, but the Red commanders gained much knowledge about German defenses. Something similar is happening now, with Russia as a whole playing the unenviable role of the sacrificial unit.

Some may doubt this idea, supposing that it is hardly possible that the entire Russian leadership could become puppets in the hands of a foreign country. I can assure you that it not only can happen — but it actually did happen in 1990s, when the whole Russian government was a puppet in the “Western” bankers’ hands. The only difference now is that a new and more adroit master holds the strings.

Modern Russian society is depraved and morally corrupted. The entire governmental structure from top to bottom is permeated with corruption. Every official is implicated in corruption. You can’t get a position in the Russian administrative apparatus without being a part of the corruption scheme. Therefore, the willingness to sell out is a main qualification for a successful career in Russia. If you don’t want to sell out, or are unable to arrange some profitable and unlawful schemes, you can’t have a decent income in Russia today. That is why the worst and the most immoral elements of society have been raised to the highest positions here. These are people for whom their own financial success is the ultimate value in life. Nothing else matters. None of them, if presented with the choice between personal enrichment or preventing the destruction of their nation, would ever hesitate when choosing the former. These creatures are very easy to buy if the buyer is prepared to pay the price.

Most probably, China paid this price. I do not have any other explanation for the insane and seemingly suicidal behavior of the Kremlin’s rulers in the last few months. They would never do such things for lofty ideological causes. That mode of thinking is beyond their mental scope. These materialistic greedy people would never risk their positions in order to advance the collective interests of their country or nation. They never did such a thing, and it would be folly to believe that at some point they suddenly started to think this way. Everything they do is dictated by some sort of selfish or utilitarian reason.

This secret, certainly, is known only to the narrow decision-making circle in the Kremlin. All others are simply compelled to execute orders. And they do because otherwise they would lose their positions or even their lives. It is a huge mafia-style corporation where everyone is tied by money and blood. But the ultimate price is paid by the mainstream cattle who are thrown into this senseless meat grinder. Obviously, the system tries to concoct the loftiest moral explanations for its actions. Many of the Russian sheep believe it; but many only pretend to believe it and are making all kinds of arrangements to evade the mobilization. The most popular trick is to buy a medical exemption. The prices for such papers have surged ten times since the start of mobilization. Now you must pay the equivalent of about $30,000-$40,000 in order to be proclaimed unfit for military service. Despite Russia being relatively poor, there are millions of Russians who can cough up this sum.

This business is booming in Russia. Medical officials and recruitment officers are gaining fortunes in a matter of days. They only need to find substitutes for those whom they exclude from recruitment. It is easy to do. There are tens of millions of poor Russians who can’t pay bribes and whose social position is too low to appeal to legal protection. They are rounded up and sent into active military units without any kind of proper training. The most that they get is a few days of token lessons (firing a few cartridges and throwing a hand grenade).

These poor creatures are subjected to crude Soviet-style propaganda about “fascists kill our people” and “we must stop them at all costs,” and are intimidated by the new laws that provide 10-15 years in jail for rejecting the mobilization. The restoration of the Stalinist terror state is complete. The only hole that the system can’t plug is the Internet. It can’t simply be switched off because that would mean economic collapse. The security services try to partially plug it by blocking access to all Russian-language sites that criticize the Kremlin’s actions. But these measures are mostly useless because almost anyone can bypass the blocks. In all other respects, the totalitarian control is complete. No one can openly express any disagreements with the official position.

Now let’s look at the other side of the conflict; both Ukraine and the West. Obviously Ukraine is the victim of the ongoing geopolitical redistribution of influence. Ukrainians have no other choice except to resist this savage Asiatic-style invasion that destroys their lives. At the same time, we certainly can’t describe the current Ukrainian government as an entity serving Ukrainian ethnic interests, let alone White racial interests. The supreme Jew of Ukraine and his bunch of self-righteous apostles of globalist integration are no less crooked than the Kremlin gang. They ruthlessly use the Ukrainian people as a tool for promoting their own nefarious agenda. They are puppets of Western globalists to the same extent as the Kremlin’s rulers are puppets of China. In essence, Russians and Ukrainians are used as sets of pawns in this first stage of military engagement between China and the Jewish-dominated West. It is obvious that neither Russians nor Ukrainians will see any positive results from this conflict.

Russia is considered by all major players as a goner to be disposed of; this assessment is correct. Russia, after a hundred years of the insane Marxist-internationalist experiment, has lost its ability to survive as a coherent society. The quality of its human material is too low. The sense of ethnic identity is too weak among Russians. It is much higher among Ukrainians, but their nationalism is being used in the service of Jewish globalism, and therefore is not useful for our cause at present. What we must clearly understand is the fact that Russia as an independent geopolitical factor is nonexistent. What is going on is a struggle between China and the Jewish globalist system.

If judged from the geopolitical point of view, we are bound to be on the Chinese side in this conflict for the simple reason that there is nothing worse than the Jewish system. The Chinese rise is bound to destroy the present day’s dominant “multicultural” paradigm. But on more practical local level we must understand that any Chinese advance, or any advance of its allies such as Putin’s regime, is bound to be a bloody affair accompanied by ethnic cleansing and all kinds of atrocities. (By the way, the Russian political leadership isn’t concerned about the atrocities its troops are committing. Because they have Chinese backing, the Kremlin bosses believe that there is no real prospect for their ever being held accountable for these atrocities.)

Obviously, we can’t support any of this filth. Neither can we support the NATO/Ukraine forces because of their globalist nature.

That is why the only possible position for us is to remain neutral and attentively monitor the ongoing development of events. The situation is very fluid and unstable. It can turn in any direction. Whatever the malicious designs of both opposed major actors, such global events by their very nature can’t be easily manipulated. It is possible to start them, but it is far too difficult to steer them as they unravel. The examples of the previous world wars show it well. I am sure that this time the uncertainty and unpredictability of events is going to be even greater. And this is the main factor that we must rely upon. At some point the dominant centers of power will lose their all-encompassing control over the multitude of minor local forces; the whole globalist arrangement of the post-WW2 balance of power is sure to start to unravel. Then we may have an opportunity to act according to our interests, not theirs.

It is difficult to say when that could happen, but definitely the situation is not ripe yet. The opposing forces must yet bloody each other more thoroughly. The populations of Europe, North America, and Russia must sink into poverty and lose any hope they may have had for a promised bright future. Restive minorities should at some point start regular bloody raids against the White mainstream populations; the whole global economic system must collapse and render unsustainable the production of high-tech consumer goods. The ensuing famine and internal social disorder should create conditions under which it will be nearly impossible to exercise thorough control over the increasingly deranged masses.

The main factors of influence that the system is using now are its ability to provide some level of prosperity, and the ability to use police force against any political opposition. But the moment the system loses its ability to provide people with food and other necessities, it is bound to lose at least half of its influence. The only factor that would remain is the ability to punish anyone opposing it. But this factor, if used alone, is bound to produce resentment and resistance. If looked at from this point of view, everything that is going on is to our advantage. The sooner the system loses its ability to provide high living standards, the better our prospects of gaining a foothold in a real political process.

By the way, the electoral “political process” has nothing to do with the real political process. The real balance of political forces is determined exclusively by the ability to project force. There can’t be any political influence without the ability to enforce it. The more the situation advances along the military fighting path, the better it will be for us. Such a trajectory facilitates the transformation of public perceptions. The ideas of “peaceful coexistence,” of a “multicultural society,” of “democracy and political pluralism” automatically lose their magic and start to be seen for what they really are — vile fakes concocted to dupe the masses.

Only the balance of force between the competing ethnic groups matters; anything else is of secondary importance. This simple truth will start to become more and more obvious. The racial-ethnic factor is the main determinant of all social and political processes. And any global war, with its subsequent destruction of the existing globalist order, is bound to restore this ultimate truth to its proper place in society.
