The globalist project is living its 1988. Remember the USSR in 1988. On paper, the empire was still standing. The Party, the army, the Politburo, Pravda, the parades on Red Square. Everything looked solid. Three years later, it no longer existed. Or remember September 9, 1976. Mao dies. For ten years, the Cultural Revolution had tried to wipe out China's past. Two years later, Deng Xiaoping launches his reforms with a four-word slogan: seek truth from facts. Ideological systems don't decline slowly. They hold, they hold, they hold, and then they collapse in a few years. Because they're not held up by reality. They're held up by belief. And when belief goes, nothing is left. That's where we are. Now, why compare the globalist project to communism? Because it's the same software. They just changed one variable. Marx explained history as a struggle between oppressors and oppressed. The oppressor: the bourgeois. The oppressed: the proletariat. The solution: abolish the bourgeoisie and build a new world on its ruins. The globalists kept the entire structure. They just swapped the enemy. The enemy is no longer the bourgeois. It's civilization itself. Western civilization. Its borders, its family, its religion, its history, its heroes. Guilty by nature, the way the bourgeois was guilty by birth. You don't reform it. You deconstruct it. And like communism, the end goal was never just to change institutions. It was to change man. The Soviets had the New Soviet Man. Mao went further. In 1958, he wrote that the Chinese people were poor and blank, and that on a blank page you can write the newest and most beautiful characters. A blank page. That's the dream of every utopian. Erase the human being as he is, so you can write the human being as he should be. The Cultural Revolution even had a slogan for it: destroy the Four Olds. Old customs. Old culture. Old habits. Old ideas. Read that list again. It's the program of "deconstruction," word for word. Today's new man is the same blank page with a different design. No borders. No roots. No nation. No inherited culture. Interchangeable, mobile, reprogrammable. A consumer without a homeland. But every attempt to engineer a new man in the 20th century hit the same wall: human nature. People keep loving their family. Their land. Their language. Their God. Their dead. You can repress it for 70 years. You can't erase it. The Soviet Union tried for seven decades, and the day the pressure lifted, Russians went back to church, Estonians went back to singing in Estonian, and Poles went back to being Polish. As if nothing had happened. That's Hayek's fatal conceit in its purest form. Believing that a handful of planners can redesign what thousands of years of civilization produced. So what comes after 1988? In the USSR, the answer had a name: glasnost. Openness. The moment when what everyone knew but nobody could say finally gets said out loud. The archives open. Stalin's victims are rehabilitated. In 1989, The Gulag Archipelago is finally published in the Soviet Union, in the very country that had banned it. Overnight, the official lie becomes unsayable. That's what's coming for the globalist project. A great glasnost. The files will open. The decisions, the memos, who knew what, who decided what, who censored what. Every institution that spent decades prescribing reality will have to answer to reality. The Twitter Files were just the trailer. And after the truth comes the renaissance. Look at what happened every time an ideology was lifted off a people. China after Mao: around 800 million people out of poverty in four decades. The largest leap out of misery in human history. Eastern Europe after 1989: Poland, the Baltics, Czechia. Countries frozen for 45 years became some of the most dynamic in Europe within a generation. When you lift an ideology off a people, you don't get emptiness. You get an explosion of energy. Everything that had been compressed for decades comes out all at once. Now imagine that for the West. The civilization that produced the Renaissance, the scientific revolution, the industrial revolution, the moon landing, the internet, and now artificial intelligence. Held back for thirty years by an ideology telling it to be ashamed of itself. When that lid comes off, it won't be a recovery. It'll be a renaissance. And it will be extraordinary. The globalist project is living its 1988. 1989 is coming.

This is pretty great.

🚨Nick Shirley was on the ground in France and interviewed some of the rioters...Their answers will infuriate you. They are Antifa members, they blame Trump and regurgitate the same nonsensical leftist talking points. The enemy of humanity and society is leftists and Islamists.

I'm an American bank guy who goes to rural France 4-5x/year. My academic background is European History. The conservative forces of rural France have crushed urban liberalism many times since the Revolution (1848, 1871, 1959 and one could argue Vichy in 1940 as well). That's why they're on the 5th Republic. It's setting up for that again next year. Background: France is run by highly educated mandarins for the benefit of the retiree class. There is little economic growth or job opportunity for the young because taxes and regulation are so high. President Macron's mild attempts to reverse this have been very unpopular with the retiree class. The school funding protest is really about lack of opportunity post-graduation, which is valid. The Stalinist LFI and the essentially unemployed immigrant youth are exploiting the government's unwillingness to unleash its experienced and violent but not numerous riot police on the students. Near-term, if the students stay home tonight, the police can start breaking heads with less fear of repercussions. If they don't, the govt is waiting for a spectacular outrage to justify it. Long-term, the next Presidential election is in the spring. One should assume that National Front will win by a lot with dire consequences for the immigrant community. Financially, France's social spending and still very capable (and conservative) military can not be maintained, yet the National Front wants to increase them. A financial crisis and EU exit can't be ruled out. Nor can a transition to a new form of government. TLDR - we haven't yet seen the guys that Gerard Depardieu used to play in cop and detective movies. They about to come on to the stage.

This is a very important message ane explanation of what's happening France and why we should worry about it happening here - of course it already has happened here and probably will again. youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Cj_RX4…

To the people, especially those in the United States, who don’t understand the protests in France: A government that doesn’t fear the people is a government that doesn’t serve the people.
