The New Collectivism of Big Government Elites

They now seek to control all of society, not just the economy.

The primary fault line in our current political climate is that between a belief system rooted in law and policy championing the primacy of the individual and the various isms seeking societal advancement through collective action. This contest appears in political issues ranging from education to fiscal policy to sociocultural matters.

The Elites Have Stopped Hiding Their Hatred of the Working Class

Last week, a shocking moment of truth broke through the huge effort elites normally put into hiding their disdain for the rest of us. At an event sponsored by the libertarian Cato Institute, President of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Adam Posen—a man who appears to be paid $450,000 a year—made clear his absolute contempt for the working class.

“The fetish for manufacturing is part of the general fetish for keeping white males of low education outside the cities in the powerful positions they are in in the U.S.,” Posen said. As proof, Posen argued that no one cared when recessions hurt Black Americans.

Posen’s words revealed more than he probably wanted to, like the elitist sentiment of wanting people with less education to have less power, or the way rich elites pander to Black Americans by mentioning them to shut down conversations about class disparities, or the ignorant and racist view that Black Americans don’t work in manufacturing.

If Facebook, Twitter, And Google Hide Information For The World’s Rulers, Elections Are A Scam

In the name of ‘saving democracy,’ the global ruling class is making sure nobody’s votes count but theirs.

In a September interview that went viral on social media Sunday, a United Nations operative admitted the U.S. government-funded organization “partnered with Google” to rig the results returned on the world’s dominant search engine for the phrase “climate change.”

Anti-Globalism Is Going Mainstream – Which Means Engineered Disaster Is About To Strike

I have noted in the past that criminals tend to brag about their criminality when they believe there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Frankly, in their narcissism many of them can’t help but revel in the moment and let everyone know how “superior” they are to the rest of us. We witnessed many moments like this from elitists within globalists institutions the past couple of years at the height of the pandemic pandemonium.

Germany is committing national suicide

An eco-obsessed elite has sacrificed energy and food security to the climate agenda.

The German government decided last week to temporarily halt the phasing-out of two nuclear power plants. This is an attempt to secure Germany’s energy supplies after Russia effectively turned off its gas exports to Germany.

But there is much more the German government could do if it was serious about shoring up its energy security.

A cost-of-living crisis made by our elites

Decades of complacency and groupthink are coming home to roost.

The UK’s inflation rate has set yet another horrifying record, and has once again defied expert predictions. The 10.1 per cent inflation rate announced today, the worst since 1982, was higher than expected by both Bank of England and private-sector economists. Alarmingly, the biggest contribution to this most recent jump was the rising cost of food and drink, meaning that inflation is now spreading far beyond our soaring energy bills.

Our Rulers and their Groupthink

The question that keeps us Benighted folks awake at night is whether the campaign against Donald Trump is run out of some secret office deep in the intelligence community, or whether it is a kind of Keystone Kops operation, a bunch of bureaucrats and swamp creatures that just can’t let go of their collective annoyance that Trump is a thing.

I tend towards the Keystone Kops interpretation, because the overall impression I get of the ongoing anti-Trump fireworks display is that the show is not very well planned, and the fireworks aren’t that good.

The Elite Panic of 2022

From the end of Covid restrictions to Elon Musk’s Twitter bid to the Dobbs ruling, startling developments threaten progressives’ grip on power.

On April 18, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle struck down the federal requirement for wearing surgical masks on airplanes, in airports, and while riding mass transit. Online videos showed passengers and airline staff ripping off their masks and celebrating in mid-flight. Given the accumulated frustration of two years of pandemic travel, the reaction was understandable.

Eco-minded descendants of billionaire oil barons are PAYING hundreds of Eco-thugs $25,000-a-year to protest around the world

Three American oil scions have been bankrolling mobs of eco-zealots who have terrorized the world by slashing tires, blocking traffic and attacking firms.

Aileen Getty, Rebecca Rockefeller Lambert and Peter Gill Case, who are heirs to their families’ huge fortunes, are paying the salaries for thugs through their non-profits in an apparent bid to offset their relatives’ legacies.

Getty, whose grandfather created Getty Oil, has so far splashed out $1million through her California-based Climate Emergency Fund.

Cool Cannibals

The proof is all around us if we would but open our eyes. They do not care about the poor in Africa. If they did, malaria would have been eradicated years ago by eliminating the mosquito that carries it rather than the continual support of an industry costing 10.3 billion a year.

If they cared about the people of Ukraine, the war with Russia would not only be over but it would never have happened in the first place. Instead, the US government has hemorrhaged more than $54 billion to Ukraine in a matter of months, calling it “aid” when it’s really nothing more than money laundering and the enslavement of a nation through debt—something the US has done to many nations over the years.

Once started, these gravy trains are too lucrative to stop—too many companies, too many people benefit from ongoing health and war crises.

As far back as 1978, young people were being indoctrinated in universities to accept their own dehumanization and cannibalization by the elite. The question in university philosophy classes “Can the Fetus be an Organ Farm?” Hastings Center Report, was answered with a resounding yes, thanks to philosophy professor Mary Anne Warren and others like her. Not only that, but why shouldn’t women become pregnant specifically and intentionally for the purpose of growing babies for the sole purpose of harvesting their organs?

That was more than 40 years ago. How many diseases have been eradicated since then, thanks to the organ harvesting of fetuses? According to MIT Technology Review, “NO FIELD OF BIOTECHNOLOGY HAS PROMISED MORE AND DELIVERED LESS IN THE WAY OF TREATMENTS THAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS.”

In the same period of time, since the Supreme Court legalized abortion in Roe v. Wade in 1973, almost 63.5 million babies have been killed in abortion.

Why?

Our New Antoinettes

These humanitarian rich feel just terrible about the sins of America, but not terrible enough to sacrifice any element of their privileged lifestyles—the just deserts they feel for being so righteous.

Marie Antoinette, the beheaded wife of the beheaded French Bourbon King Charles Louis XVI, did not really say “Let them cake.”

But in the short time that the French Revolution became utterly unhinged, toxic, and nihilistic, she became nonetheless iconic as an out-of-touch elite who had lived in a make-believe world at Versailles, without a clue (or care?) about the ordeal of the masses.

A people’s revolt against eco-tyranny

From the Netherlands to Sri Lanka, people have had enough of the elite’s green hysteria.

If police were opening fire on protesters in a European nation, we would have heard about it, right? If there was a mass uprising of working people in a European Union country, taking to the streets in their thousands to cause disruption to roads, airports and parliament itself, it would be getting a lot of media coverage in the UK, wouldn’t it? The radical left would surely say something, too, given its claims to support ordinary people against The System. Cops shooting at working men and women whose only crime is that they pounded the streets to demand fairness and justice? There would be solidarity demos in the UK, for sure.

The urban elite thinks they’re a victim class

 

They live to move in the worlds of affluence and activism

I’m Facebook friends with a woman who has been in Democratic Party politics since we attended high school together. Since then, she’s worked for power politicians, (unsuccessfully) run for office, and played a central role in the public takedown of an elected official. She has a degree from an Ivy League institution, as does her husband, who works in finance. Hers is the quintessential lifestyle of the urban elites.

How the elites exploit inflation

The working classes needed to be put in their place

I can’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu at the current debate about global inflation. The similarities between today’s spiralling situation and the inflationary crisis of the Seventies are too striking to be ignored.

Nearly 50 years ago, the oil crisis of 1973 sent inflation skyrocketing across Western countries. It was a textbook case of imported inflation, which in a context of close-to-full employment and strong union bargaining power triggered self-reinforcing inflationary pressures, as companies raised prices to defend profit margins while workers in turn demanded wage increases. This price-wage (or wage-price) spiral was a response to the inflationary pressures coming from abroad — not their cause.
