There is Hope After All

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

From time to time I receive a message from a reader that he or she has been reading my analyses for years, is convinced that what we have known as Western civilization is in collapse, but wishes to see some hope.  What can we do to resurrect our civilization, integrity, moral behavior, and respect for truth?

My position has been that nothing can be done unless the people are aware of their plight.  My job is to bring awareness.  Nothing can be done until the people seek awareness and become aware.  As long as the media and official narratives keep people in The Matrix, nothing can be done.  Movies such as V for Vendetta and The Matrix have made this clear.

But today I bring you good news.  After a conversation with a friend today, I can tell you that it is in the collapse of the system where hope resides. As every aspect of the system is corrupt, collapse is the corrective.  The ruling elites have miscalculated.  By bringing about the collapse, the elites are collapsing their own power.

Collapse brings reset, not the World Economic Forum’s, but the peoples’ reset.  The people have the numbers, not the elites, who are diminished by fights among themselves.  As their power shrinks from their miscalculations, their power diminishes. The elites know this, which is why they are trying to kill us with “vaccines,” “pandemics,” and the destruction of our food supply in the name of “saving the planet from global warming.”

The only way humans can destroy planet Earth is through nuclear war, which seems to be the goal of US/Israeli neoconservatives, such as Robert Kagan and Victoria Nuland.

Why is there hope in collapse of the accumulated evil?

Because it clears the agenda.

What can you do to survive the collapse?  Arm yourselves. Create organizations of family, friends, community, county, and elevate them into state alliances against the anti-American woke, the anti-American neoconservatives, the anti-American Democrats, and your deadly anti-American enemy in Washington. Secession of the red states is possible.

It is the blue states that are the reservoirs of anti-American hatred.  These states are a far more dangerous enemy to Americans than Russians, Chinese, Iranians, Hamas, and Houthis in Yemen.

Yet we hear from the whore media nothing of the real threat, only the make-believe threat to America from the designated enemies of Zionist Israel’s expansion from the Nile to the Euphrates.

Except for the Houthis and Hamas, the Muslim rulers are too content accepting bribes from Washington to do anything about the US/Israeli genocide of the Palestinians. Other than the Houthis, the entire Muslim world could be in the dock, with Israel and the West, at the International Court of Justice

One consequence could be the collapse of American/Israeli power in the Middle East. Arab power collapsed long ago. But American power has failed to take its place. After a 20-year effort, the American “superpower” was defeated and driven out of Afghanistan by a few thousand lightly armed Taliban, who again rule the country, just as happened in Vietnam where endless US bombing only ensured the Vietcong’s victory. It is the Houthis and Iranians who are likely to control the sea lanes in the territory under attack, not Washington, unless the Houthis and Iranins accept being paid off.

None of this works for the anti-American, anti-nation, anti-national sovereignty, anti-white civilization ruling elite of Washington. The ruling anti-western white elites hate America, national sovereignty, and human liberty far more than they hate their self-chosen foreign enemies chosen for profit and control reasons. The US Constitution is in the way of their dictatorship more than are the Houthis.

The West is going down in flames.  Don’t be discouraged by the collapse of evil.  Be encouraged.  The collapse of evil brings the opportunity for renewal.

What will the renewal be?  It is not clear.

The renewal will involve violence. There is no alternative to the extermination of Evil.

Karl Marx said that violence is the only effective force in history. Myself and my self-chosen Jewish Oxford University professor, Michael Polanyi, disputed Marx’s contention. We argued that Good Will was an effective force in the world, and we provided examples.  But today decades later watching Western moral collapse, I see that Marx had a point.

Today the West faces evil so strong that good will is excluded.  Where is there good will in the West’s support of Israeli genocide of the Palestinians?  Is Marx correct that only violence rules history?  If so, what are the liberal concepts of good will, mercy, justice worth? Are they merely delusions to ease our way into a non-aware mental slavery? How  can these concepts affect human behavior when evil is accepted as the new normal?

Only an aware peoples of the Western world can bring themselves to awareness and step forward in defense of the values  that define their humane existence.  If they fail, then so has the West.

So, my answer is that hope resides in the collapse. It is up to the people to rebuild a humane and free society.

On target. An easy first target is the sick care system that is starting its collapse now because millions of people realized during the plandemic that they should stop feeding it. As a friend said recently, I hope someday the system collapses from an “epidemic” of good health.

Until you realize the bible flipped the script on you, and that you are a god too Jim, you will never know your true place.

You are all so close, but the bible is like an electric fence to you.
For billions, it must only be understood one way or ya get zapped.

Seriously try on this thought, for I believe it to be true:

Anything any man writes that is beneficial to himself and/or others is the same as the word of “God”.

Men…wrote the bible.
All living men [and woman], are sons [and daughters] of god.
Period.

Anything good any man writes is as the word ofGod, for it issues forth from a child of god.

Anything bad a man writes, is the same as if satan wrote it.

God or Satan define underlying motives of all us lesser gods.

“As every aspect of the system is corrupt, collapse is the corrective.“…

That is good news…cause with our current leadership the Red Pill should be dropping from the sky.

Apparently, the Pentagon didn’t get that memo. More troops are being deployed to Iraq and Syria

Soldiers from New Jersey are joining the fight against an Islamic militant group in the Middle East. This will be the largest deployment of New Jersey Army National Guard soldiers since 2008.
His deployment is part of Operation Inherent Resolve, a military campaign to defeat ISIS.

Cannon fodder. Do whatever it takes to keep your kids out of the military

I thought PCR’s position has been that’s it all is in some way Putin’s fault… not because he is so evil, but because he is too soft.

There is no way to cure a systemic collapse when the collapse is the cure.

I have had this same thought since 1998 and although the awakening of the alienated is not peaceful, I see that it is better this way.
Fuck the system!
