The Cost of Insouciance Is Death

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

I received an email Christmas greeting from the Warden of my Oxford College.  She tells me that the money and postage the college saves on mailing Christmas cards will be donated to charity.  This is a noble thing to do.  But look what it tells us:  It tells us that we now see our obligations to strangers as a stronger claim on us than our obligations to our group.  It shows further weakening of our survivability.

When we sum up all the forces that are damaging our survivability–feminism which has destroyed relations between men and women, deracination which has destroyed our self-confidence, our culture, and our beliefs, the normalization of sin which has destroyed our morals and our integrity, the attack on the family which has destroyed the enculturation of children–what future do we have?

It seems that Western civilization is the first one to be destroyed by its own universities and intellectuals.

We are so focused on what the Russians, Chinese, and Iranians are allegedly going to do to us that we do not see what we have done to ourselves.

Little neighbor girl made me a handmade card last year. So I did up a nice card for her for Christmas. She was all excited to get mail. I told her to make a little box, keep all her cards, and when she’s old like me she’ll be able to take them out, look at them, remember people, etc. That was a year ago. She came by the other day to show me all the ones she’s collecting, nice little box she made. Kid’s 8. Dunno how many she’ll get from now on. Maybe the idea will spread…

When I was seven or eight I thought I had it all figured. Just let mom or dad write a check for more money, just like the government does. There would never be any need for suffering there after. True wealth is your interaction with those you care for, simple as that!

“It tells us that we now see our obligations to strangers as a stronger claim on us than our obligations to our group. It shows further weakening of our survivability.”

If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Tim 5:8

Billions for others, but not our own homeless, hungry, destitute, sick unemployed etc.
Charity, yes, but not at the expense of their own citizens, of whom they care zero about.
Just their agenda.

A long time ago, I told my wife that the only charity I’ll be contributing to will be in our own family.

Guessing the Warden will be having a nice Prime Rib dinner with fine wine and invite a couple of her Deans over to snicker at how it all got paid for.

it is less on an individual note and more on a societal note. the unintended consequences of choices correlate, scale of decisions to time frame.

those individual decisions will see consequences much sooner than those decisions of a city, a state or a nation.

Colleges have become grifters to pay their professors and staff bloated salaries. I went to a state college. I paid my tuition and state taxes on my meager income from a part time job. Tried to get jobs at my state college and was told my parent made too much money (mom did not work). We were middle class, and four kids going to college at the same time. I then applied for graduate assistance ships which went primarily to foreign students. That is when I realized Colleges are a scam. This was in the 70s.! I get calls, letters asking for money from my college all the time. Calls are unanswered, letters go in the trash. You get what you give.

Dad was a saver and had about $800K in investments when he passed. The state got $40K of it. Ditto here on the alma mater’s pleas for cash even though it is a lowly state college that seems not to have completely lost its way. But then again, it’s all about marketing with their glossy alumni magazines every 3 months. And, how the hell did they track me down after all these years and numerous addresses in different states-especially since I am not on record as an active alumnus? I’d rather they save the effort and not bother me, especially with their implied guilt about not participating in “planned giving opportunities”. Fuck ’em.

Just look at what the January 6th Prisoners did for the US, did for all of us, they stood up to the tyranny of a stolen election and look what it got them. “No good deed goes unpunished”. The evil ones destroyed their lives and put them in prison as criminals.
It is now a crime to exercise your 1st amendment rights in the US.
There are parents losing their parental rights for not vaccinating or not gender transitioning their children.
Parents are promoted and glorified, who do it to their 2 year olds.
The powers of darkness ruling this world through their vast stolen ‘money power’ are punishing what is good and promoting all that is evil as good.
They have taken all the money from those who are good.
They have given all the money to those who are evil=traitors who are freemasons, the yids that serve the illuminati and it is the illuminati that issue and make and own the money who give that pay off for doing evil money.
Because they own the banks=the rothsdhchilds-non human entites from Hell=100% pure evil.
They make money from thin air, and use it to make people join their evil force of world wide destruction of all that is good.
Good is the only opponent that can destroy them, and it is now weak and almost completely demolished to the point it cannot fight back any longer.
Our nation dies not issue its own currency.
The illuminati have their own currency, which children as a source of adrenochrome, and this nation provides it to them now since the greada treaty was signed.
When the Eisenhower secretly signed the greada treaty which is update every so often, this became one nation under the demonic fallen angels of Hell as our new gods. They demand to be worshiped as non human Gods. They have replaced the true God who created us to those traitors who now serve Moloch Mammon. The fallen angels of Hell who exist in the bodies of the Rothschild dynasty and extended families all linked through the marriage of their daughters.
That was the end of America. It has been all downhill from there every generation in the US has gotten more evil and less good since then.
They used the drugs and sex trade just like when they destroyed China with opium.
Like they destroyed Germany before Hitler took power with sexual depravity, s&m prostitution, and hedonism, making christian values a non-priority, by destroying the economy of Germany and paying only the perverted and degenerate to sell themselves as entertainment for the yids..destroying the German economy and controlling who gets paid is how they take souls.
What people will do for money takes their souls, when the money comes from the devil=illuminati=moloch who requires child sacrifice when he pays out the banking money, he then demands his own currency adrenochrome in return.
That is why they get their power to destroy what is of God and all that is good from owning the money system.
Nothing evil happens on this earth if it does not provide them their adrenochrome in exchange for the money they pay to get that evil done.
Now they will pay only the mercenary forces coming through the border, to make a colossal anti-white anti-christian race war happen.
Their priority is to weaken a nation by removing all the good in it because only good can conquer and destroy what is evil.
They have slowly succeeded in doing that with the help of the CIA, the yiddish faux chosen people, and freemasonry.
They are the termites, that have eaten away this nation=this house.
Many don’t see them and are not aware this house is about to collapse for the damage they have done.
There will be no house left standing soon.
Because Satan himself in a human body entered the US in 1971.
Everything that has been contaminated by such evil will be destroyed if they are not good enough to be resistant and immune to that evil.
Good is like diatomaceous earth is to termites..
Diatomaceous earth is like shards of glass that kill the termites.
Good is gone from the USA. It is not what it once was, because evil won in WW2, and you called it good.
Why because criminals bought up all the media to set up a big lie machine as a result of their causing the 1929 depression, in order to do just that.
Because when they falsely claimed 6 million died in ww1, no one paid any attention.
Like Bull shit Gates and his wicked wife said “now they will pay attention” about their vaccines and smirked, at each other: they were remembering that previous win.
Why? Because only good can defeat evil.
They have succeeded through the power of the media to convince you what you once thought of as good is nothing.
That the evil they tell you is good is better and a real replacement for what you perviously considered as good.
The truth is that a tiny bit of good can be crushed to death by such massive evil that has now taken power in this world.
It will take a huge even more good collective power, to defeat evil that have overgrown to such a despicable level of brutality in this world that we have to all stand by and watch an entire nation’s people helplessly be brutally maimed injured tortured, terrorized, annihilated by insane, sadistic, greedy, selfish, egomaniacal, psychopaths and we give no resistance, as our own government allows and funds this horror worse than any horror movie.
It will result in a morbid grief, a grieving that will paralyze us all this earth so that they can go in for the kill and we all go lost and dumbfounded and perplexed in grief and sadness, because we could not stop it. We all know what comes next when good people cannot even stop the evil on this earth because it has reached a maximum power that will take the power of God almighty and Jesus Christ to force this evil presence that now rules this earth as the NWO, including all their cronies, lackeys and willing paid servants back to Hell.
It will require the total destruction of this world, if it holds its power for enough time to completely weaken, incapacitate and then destroy all good, which it is working hard and very steadily to accomplish.
Julian Assange, fought lies with the truth, he has been rotting in prison.
We must fight evil with Good. When nations do not do that evil grows and takes power.
We must fight war by demanding peace.
How does evil have so much power?
The money system is in their greedy demonic claws.
It is because of the disparity inequality of wealth distribution they control to get that money used only if it profits them the evil ones.
So the poor are handicapped by economic deprivation, while the evil are rewarded with money when they do more evil, more war, more cruelty and destruction to the environment and all that is good.
This is our new world order system:
If it is good and there is no money in it: it does not happen or whomever does it anyway will be punished for it.
If it is evil and destroys good and there is adrenochrome in it (Ukraine and Gaza) then there is money for it to be accomplished and done.
That is what the NWO rules are.
That is what the illuminati use freemasonry for: they pay only the yiddish faux chosen people of their own god moloch and the gentile traitors to their own people, who also now serve and worships Moloch, and pay them more than you could ever imagine which has caused the inflation and fiat money system to occur. They want a depression and economic collapse so they can better use their pay only those who serve us strategy and starve the rest into submission to the evil they do pay. It works for them like magic.
Divide and conquer. They own the government all of the congress and senate, the judicial branch, the military branch and the executive branch. They own all the heads of state, of all the world, they own the UN, WEF, and the WHO and have built their monopolies in the media, all manufacturing and the supply chains and even in religions.
When the Native Americans lived here, in tribes, of families, all had to be unified, all had to agree, they had no tyrants to control them because all were equal and free. This nation was pristine beautiful paradise before the money people=illuminati destroyed it in Wars which are all about their taking their EVIL control over nations, and eliminating all the good that was once there at the same time.
We just say we are free and equal in the USA, but it is run by the illuminati and their yids who in turn run their Freemasons by greed and pride and ego, and compromising them all, removing all good from them and adding them to their wicked and vile evil power structure. This has led to all our disasters. So this pyramid of evil, will be destroyed very soon by natural disasters and they will be huge.Hell itself is coming to take all this evil away from this world, before it collapses.
The world is like a house full of termites (evil) and before it collapses it must be vacated and a big tent put around it and not fumigated but instantly removed by the black sun. Because it is too late for other measures to fix it, and no one used the proper methods to prevent it in the first place.
So we all must face it.
The Black sun is coming and it will suck up all the evil on this earth until it is all gone.
All we ca do now it leave the house and wait for the final kill off of all evil on this earth.
When the house is clean Jesus will return for his own, and remake this whole house into a magnificent mansion of goodness and peace love and joy and most important truth.
WW3 will begin and in the middle of it, the Black sun will appear and take all the Illuminati, yids, freemasons, and their helpers,, there is no place to hide, not even the expensive underground bunkers can save them from their return trip back to Hell for eternity.

Nice rant.
All of those people, from the J6ers to Mr. Assange are victims of their tactical mistakes based on invalid assumptions.
Placing oneself in the line of fire has always yielded negative results.
Nothing you’ve stated is news.
Yet people still believe they can change things by voting, protesting, or exposing the crimes.
There is no political solution to your problems.
Waiting for your god to sort it out , well, best of luck with that.
I’m predominantly unconcerned; on a long enough time line, it’s a self solving problem.
And I’m just passing through.
