rome or britain


ROME OR BRITAIN?
America and Rome are sharing some pretty scary parallels.  From the stupidity and immorality of its leaders, to bread and circuses, from the debasement of the currency to the barbarians manning its military in exchange for citizenship ( and the debasement of what it means to be a citizen ).  Big picture, what Rome went through, so will we.  To include, especially, its almost instantaneous flip from limping along to total collapse.  One year still projecting military might and the very next in complete retreat.  Obviously, this isn’t a mirror but a pretty good atlas.  They are our macro picture.
*
But what about the micro picture?  I might argue that to get a better handle on the more specific aspects of our economic unravelling, perhaps Britain would be a better model of collapse.  How quickly their economy got into trouble, which lost them their resource base, which accelerated their demise.  Which is what we are already seeing with the US but which mostly delusion, hubris and wishful thinking conceal.  We don’t want to understand how far along the road to ruin we are because everyone’s rice bowl will be cracked.  After nothing can change, denial is the last refuge.
*
First, understand that the Industrial Revolution had nothing to do with skin color or Christianity.  China was way ahead of the west in all metrics for a very long time, and the Arabs ( yes, those dirty goat humpers we think of as retarded and dogmatic ) advanced on a technological level while we were still killing evil cats while a plague was underway.  Europeans of yore could be some superstitious and bigoted morons when they made that their New Year’s Resolution.  Hell, how smart are they today, falling for Rothschild’s globalism and letting in Diversity Breeders?
*
If you look at Europe PRIOR to letting the Muzzies overrun the place, who were the bright boys that started unlimited immigration?  That would be, mostly, the American’s bitches in power.  Back when we were still an economic powerhouse running roughshod over almost all other countries.  After all, if we hadn’t defeated them we had forced our way in economically or under the guise of saving them from evil Nazis or Evil Commies.  We were the big bully and we wanted things done our way.  We had the currency and resources to make it so.
*
But what does that tell you about the collective intelligence of both the US and Europe, which stood by passively and agreed to bend over and get sodomized for our several pieces of silver?  That couldn’t be construed as a bunch of intelligence people, could it?  We allowed cultural disintegration for the profit of the elite, afraid to make any real waves ( I think the leftist peace movement was a false flag op, to disguise our military defeat ) least our piece of the pie disappeared.  We were greedy, not some mythical superior intelligence as we like to believe.
*
It isn’t just about “national IQ” or “race IQ”, or a superior civilization ( the Persians and Mongols were pretty good empire builders, and no one would accuse Genghis of acting civilized ).  It is about resources in addition to those factors, and others.  The Industrial Revolution also needed, in one For Instance, to occur at a time of more decentralization as opposed to centralization, in order that a strong war economy stimulated demand and provided government investment.  That is one reason that China, having large coal deposits centuries before England’s discovery, didn’t have its own Revolution first.
*
Besides being blinded by Race Superiority, we are also blinded by Philosophy Bias, believing that capitalism alone bestowed upon the West the Industrial Revolution.  I keep trying to tell everyone that capitalism as a religion was the justification sold to the peasants for their subjugation.  Protestantism was the way that religion grasped the economic sea change and divorced itself from the Papists, in order to survive and thrive.  That military conflict in which the Protestants formed their own economy out of the Papists empire was the driving force behind colonialization, which allowed the carbon fuels to kick start the Industrial Revolution.
*
It had nothing to do with capitalism or free markets.  It has ALWAYS been about central banks, colonialization, resource control and government stimulus.  Capitalism as a myth, yes, that is a great driving force. It is a great way of turning Protestant religious control into banker, government and corporation control.  The Papists and those religions before them were direct population control for the state.  The new religion was secular or not, as demanded and was the control mechanism for the bankers.  Capitalism was the religion for the non-religious and Protestantism was the religion for the Believers.  Which still sold “capitalism” the religion.
*
In our Capitalism mythos, “proven” not by faith but by “science”,  government is merely the corner policeman which runs interference for capitalism.  Which is always Good and Just and Perfect, like God used to be when we were killing off all witches.  Now Government rather than God was the judge, jury and executioner, and just like God was always on the look-out for Unbelievers.  If you don’t believe in Capitalism, you are evil and deserve to be burned at the stake.  Before, the king backed up God.  Now, Capitalism is God and the mob will bay for your death if you don’t believe.
*
Which is why the True Believers label The Others as non-Capitalists and call for their blood, and why the non-Capitalists have no clue how retarded they are, being used as dupes by the bankers while they think they fight against the money powers.  It is all rather amusing, in a sad sack sort of way.  But strip aside the religious faith and we have ALWAYS been organized to benefit the elite.  Which invested in the system at the beginning.  Government, banking and the sundry elite have owned this bitch from the beginning, and capitalism was the mask they hid behind.
*
And war, NOT capitalism, was the driving force behind innovation and growth.  It was Social Darwinism that enabled us to get to the point where we could actually utilize the brand new carbon fuels that allowed the Industrial Revolution.  Unfortunately, when America won the Second World War, we replaced competition as the new hegemon.  Which started us on the road to centralization.  Which is the death of competition and survival of the fittest.  And it certainly didn’t help that we used up all the resources in that process. 
*
All of which is to say, don’t pray to false gods to save you as this collapse unfolds.  Continued tomorrow.

  1. Following. The systems that are in place and are quite entrenched will not be given up or abandoned and changed as the collapsing continues along. (I think 'Mericans and westerners are like battered wives sticking with what they only know, afraid of change or a worse upheavel from any changes) Only a total lights out collapse will be that clue bat upside somebody's head indicator that there must be a necessary change from status quos. Maybe some hybridization of systems will occur during a slow collapse or as triage measures to delay the death of the patient nation states and systems. Those younger Minions will need to be adaptable to wholly new systems, etc not even known or thought of now. Stay flexible, know where those exits are located.

    1. Too many benefit from the system. No one wants to change it. How can you have a slow collapse when everyone wants the excess surplus as a bare minimum? One day it is SUV's and suburbia, eating shrimp from Thailand. The next, crapping in your garden, wearing rat pelts and trying to keep an edge on your leafspring sword.

    2. Yes, what Jim said. Thus, I am throwing full support behind Yang 2020. I will gladly accept and fully utilize my $1,000.00 a month universal basic income stipend from the government. I can't wait to buy all the barrels of wheat and racks of flir ar15s with my gov't. payment gibs. Hurray!

    3. You know, I understand you are being sarcastic. And yet, really, IS it such a horrible idea getting the same government who caused this whole mess to support your preps? This might call for its own article.

    4. Yes, 1k a month is a good bribe/entitlement amount to keep me and my equipment on the porch and not out in the streets or hinterlands running amok. Jim you really should article up a whole "game the system for preps" series of writings, that could get deep.

    5. I'm interested in that, but beyond "drop out", I have little knowledge. Not sure I could do justice to it. In '92 I wrote a newsletter article on stealing to fund preps. Working at the movie theatre, it was amazing how much those kids ripped off the place. It gave me a few ideas.

    6. Possibly you're too decent to know the tricks. I'm becoming more of the opinion that one should (legally!) extract as many resources from the State, that one can. Primarily to help my family.
      When no meaningful reform is possible, when our society is decadent...it's probably not very ethical.

    7. I'm all for maximum extraction from the state. They are doing that to us, after all. Get all the assistance possible without hurting yourself through obtrusion. If the bankers screw you with inflation, try to screw the bankers ( bankruptcy ). I don't believe in "doing the right thing" to a thief. I'm already "being the better person" by NOT being the one who started stealing. I was already acting honorable by playing by THEIR rules, when they screwed me. Piss on them. Unless they are on fire, then let them suffer.

  2. Fyi..."Rome" continued on until AD 1453, just sayin'. "Westerners" get all out of joint about Rome, Italy falling and Constantinople simply carrying on without too much of a hitch. In fact, much of "Western" part of Empire was regained until plague (see below)
    Second, "Arabs" were never technologically advanced. They simply invaded and subjugated militarily weakened nations. Byzantine & Sassanid (Persia) empires had a century of border war in the Levant and both crippled by a plague (Justinian plague). Their exhaustions enabled Arab conquests couple decades later. Arabs simply utilized advanced science culture of Persians and Greco-Syrians to run the schools and operated the irrigation system (for awhile).Most of "their" philosophy is rehashed Platonism.

    Just trying to help you avoid the trap of "Orientalism". Arabs created little.

    1. Who invented the zero? Even if they inherited rather than invented, they still kept the science while Europe went Dark Age. Of course, yes, now THEY are Dark Age. Also, eastern Rome is NOT Rome, as far as I'm concerned. Different culture. Now, I will admit your attention to detail in this matter is greater than mine, so I could in fact be wrong. I went through a phase of Oriental Religious curiosity while following many hippie studies such as drugs and freeing the mind, alternate medicine and diet. Most turned out to be very wrong. So this wouldn't be the first time.

  3. "It has ALWAYS been about central banks, colonialization, resource control and government stimulus."

    I think it can be even simpler than that. "It is always about resource control."

    I applaud your focus on the micro. Macro is a distraction if you are not one of the very, very few who can actually change the direction of the macro.

    Playing the chess game out a few moves, if The Powers That Be want to crush us they will vacuum up all of our resources. If we don't want to be crushed then we must disguise our resources enough so they won't be identified as-such by the mindless stooges TPTB send.

    Stupid example: Who would steal filled sand-bags? They would take bags of grain in a heart-beat. But who would steal filled sand-bags?

    1. Hmmm. I think just stopping the refineries would do the trick nicely. No need to use the pipelines, or convoys, just ship it around to the port of choice. Having taken advantage of motor vehicles from birth, few probably plan on NOT having gas and cars. Drones can make sure your bio-diesel or ethanol run car don't make it very far. Centralized control will work for them, still. In the end it defeats them, but us first.

  4. I actually like KFC. But yeah, they are kinda pricey these days.

    I’m actually surprised that you still see blacks in chicken based restaurant commercials, like Popeye’s, and the such. You’d think that in today’s hyper-PC world, that would be a definitive no no.

    Just ask the proprietors of Uncle Remus Maple Syrup, and Kate Smith; the spirits of whom, one imagines are a little pissed off right about now :D

  5. Perhaps if only Blacks went into Popeyes, it isn't a big deal. You'd be racist for eating at "their" place. Perhaps it is a mistake applying logic here :)

  6. Off topic but I'm reading "One Second After" again. Scares the beejeebus out of me every time. Holding out for payday to grab some more food for storage.

    1. Food is never off topic. It is THE topic. One Second After is a great one for getting you afraid sufficiently enough. Probably the best one.
