1965 Academia gets serious about systematically undermining traditional gender roles, motherhood, the family, heterosexuality, patriotism, and Christianity, with the goal of weakening all forces which are preventing the Marxist revolution in America that they hope for.

1972 Nixon visits Communist China

1979 Carter grants Communist China full diplomatic recognition

1984 Reagan starts selling Communist China US military equipment

Academics get frustrated that there have been no mass conversions to Marxism as they were certain would happen if universities were "liberated" from pro-Western "bias". They turn against free speech and meritocracy, and refuse to hire faculty members suspected of thoughtcrime. (Perfect for 1984!)

1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre of protestors

US manufacturing executives realize that they can produce in Communist China for 10% of the cost of producing in America because of China's low wages, suppression of labor unions, and absence of environmental laws.

Universities suppress Western Civilization courses and force-feed the poz1 to undergrads who are told they must believe and recite the doctrine or fail these required classes and not graduate. Parents fail to notice that their tuition dollars are being used to turn their children against their own country.

1990 H-1B program created to give employers a way to hire cheap foreign tech workers for jobs Americans can do, driving down wages for US citizens.

1999 Google starts to take significant revenue away from mainstream media.

The US elite gradually see that dividing the public along the lines of race, sex, and sexual deviance is an effective way to weaken and control the public, distracting them from the core economic issues of outsourcing to China and insourcing illegals. Billionaires are delighted to look "progressive" for supporting issues which divide the public. They instruct their corporations to fund and publicly support divisive issues as long as these core economic issues of the harms of globalization are never mentioned.

Academia and global capital see that they can make common cause in supporting these divisive issues. The Marxist left ironically becomes the best friend of global capital. Capital is delighted to keep the spotlight off of itself by keeping it on race, gays, and women's issues instead.

2000 Bill Clinton signs the U.S.- Communist China Relations Act. Between 1980 and 2004, U.S.-China trade rises from $5 billion to $231 billion

US manufacturing is devastated as American factories are moved to China en masse. The people of "flyover country" are mocked as "racist" for objecting to losing their jobs. This slander proves to be effective at discrediting working class opinion on globalization, temporarily.

Feminism has successfully vilified motherhood to the degree that the native US population starts to drop, putting upward pressure on wages even for manual labor like restaurant work, construction, and meat packing.

The border with Mexico is effectively abolished through non-enforcement so that restaurants, construction, and meat packing can openly hire illegals without any real worry of prosecution. Again this saves business owners vast amounts of money by throwing millions of Americans out of work. Employers shorting US workers of all that money in wages then excuse their crime by saying "Americans don't want those jobs" without mentioning that those jobs would pay much more without illegals driving down wages for US citizens.

And again, anyone who loses his job to an illegal is called "racist" in a coordinated media campaign to assure the public that it's totally fine to hurt people as long as they are "racist".

2003 Facebook founded at Harvard by Mark Zuckerberg

Media revenue plummeting as Google ad revenue rises.

2010 Communist China overtakes Japan as world's second largest economy

Google and Facebook have now taken more than half of the mainstream media's revenue away.

Arrival of first generation to graduate from universities where radical ideas have been normalized. Free speech on campus is eliminated by mob shout-downs and violence against speakers with the tacit understanding that the mob will never question outsourcing to China or insourcing of illegals. In fact, liberals end up aggressively protecting illegals which drives down wages for US citizens and increases profits for business owners.

2011 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton outlines a U.S. “pivot” to Asia

Decades of Marxist indoctrination on campus result in entirely new fields of "grievance studies" where everyone except white men of Christian origin can identify with some "oppressed" group and become extremely angry: feminist studies, black studies, queer studies etc. This proves to be very popular with every insecure student who already has a "mortal hatred against the truth which blames him and convinces him of his faults."2

Title IX is used to set up corporate and university kangaroo courts where men (always men) may not question their accusers and are assumed guilty. Men are in fact intimidated and fail to stand up for their constitutional right to a fair trial for fear of losing their jobs or being expelled from school.

2013 Billionaire Jeff Bezos of Amazon buys the Washington Post as his personal propaganda outlet. Bezos's fortune comes from importing and selling goods manufactured in China. Bezos bleeds the US of both cash and jobs, but thereby becomes the richest man in the world.

2014 US court indicts five Communist Chinese hackers with ties to China’s People’s Liberation Army on charges of stealing technology from US companies. The case is irrelevant as almost all US manufacturing technology has already been transferred to Communist China by US executives to justify large bonuses for themselves.

Trump decides to run for president because he sees that an opportunity to publicly point out how badly American workers have been treated by their own elites, something no mainstream candidate can do because they are all funded and therefore controlled by the same people who outsource to China and insource illegals.

All mainstream media are now very weak and susceptible to influence buying, since most of their former ad revenue is now going to Google and Facebook instead. American elites pay Fusion GPS (co-founded by former Wall Street journal reporter) to come up with dirt on Trump (the "Steele Dossier") to try to prevent his election.

Everyone in DC is aware that the Steel Dossier is a fabrication, but Obama and the FBI find it useful as a pretext to justify spying on the Trump campaign and prosecuting Mike Flynn, etc. Obama and FBI deliberately try to subvert American democracy rather than allow Trump to be elected. They support Hillary because she will continue outsourcing to China and insourcing illegals at the expense of American workers.

2016 Trump is elected in violation of the media's direct orders to the public that they must vote for Hillary

Newspapers, husks of their former selves, are now staffed largely with blue-haired slutty-and-proud feminists (exactly as their professors told them to be), who stew in resentment because Chad never called them back after that one night, and never will, while they themselves get older and remain childless. With funding and encouragement from billionaires, these women turn all US mainstream media into a 24/7 anti-Trump hate festival. Trump represents something to these women that makes them absolutely seethe with rage. Objectivity in reporting goes out the window. Chad, meanwhile, is looking for a sweet conservative woman who won't cheat on him, because he wants to know that he will be raising his own kids and not someone else's.

Facebook and Google suppress conservative points of view more and more openly. This is defended as a choice of "private businesses" despite the fact that private bakeries are forced by law to bake cakes for gay weddings. The fact that Facebook and Google are effectively monopolies is also ignored.

2017 The Black Lives Matter Global Network is incorporated in Delaware. It’s technically a charity fiscally sponsored by another nonprofit called Thousand Currents. (Who owns that?)

2018 Trump Tariffs Target Communist China

As feminism becomes America's unquestionable state religion, women earn more and become much more picky about the men they will sleep with. A few desirable men sleep with all the women, but more and more men get no sex at all. The number of American men under 30 who have never had sex triples between 2008 and 2018, but not for women. This creates a large class of frustrated men prone to rioting and looting.

2019 Wuhan virus cases turn up suspiciously close to a major Chinese virology lab, perhaps when test animals were sold in the nearby meat market by janitors

2020 After impeachment fails, the media sees the virus as an opportunity to harm the record economy that Trump helped to create. Media promotes extreme fear even as the virus subsides dramatically. Trump's economic success is an unmentionable embarrassment to the media, since they so wrongly predicted disaster upon Trump's election.

After the sudden mass unemployment fanned by the press panic over Wuhan virus, billionaires get worried about finally being exposed as profiting from moving manufacturing to China.

When violent criminal (pointed a gun at a pregnant woman's belly during an armed robbery) and high on fentanyl drug addict George Floyd dies in police custody after being arrested while attempting to pass off a fake $20, billionaires instruct their lapdog media to put "racism" at the top of the agenda, to divide the public and deflect attention from themselves.

Black continue shooting each other at more than 50x the rate that white people shoot blacks. Black police remain more likely to shoot black criminals than white police are. These fact remains censored in all mainstream media. Chicago sees 100 black on black shootings in one day.

Capitalist billionaires like George Soros fund Marxists in academia to incite BLM riots. The irony is lost on everyone.

269 corporations support "BLM Inc, brought to you by Doritos™. Pepsi™ knows black lives matters."

Mass bannings of blogs, websites, and Twitter accounts for holding politically incorrect views which are invariably conflated with "racism" even when they are exclusively about saving US manufacturing jobs and sending illegals back to their homes to save jobs for US citizens. Historical statues are pulled down by mobs incited by their former professors, and almost all state and local officials cave in, refuse to enforce the law, in the hope that they themselves will not be attacked next.

Surveillance apps forcibly installed on most cellphones in the name of "public health".






1. Pozzed: From HIV positive. Figuratively, any person or institution that is socially liberal, implying support for homosexuality, feminism, trannies, promiscuity, cuckolding, polyamory, and childfree lifestyles. These leftist social attitudes spread like a plague and prevent the host from reproducing effectively.
"My gay friend got pozzed at an orgy."
"That church is totally pozzed. The pastor is a transsexual otherkin coalburner with a degree in Women's Studies."

2. Quote from Pascal at the beginning of Eric Hoffer's book The True Believer

Man would fain be great and sees that he is little; would fain be happy and see that he is miserable; would fain be perfect and sees that he is full of imperfections; would fain be the object of the love and esteem of men, and sees that his faults merit only their aversion and contempt. The embarrassment wherein he finds himself produces in him the most unjust and criminal passions imaginable, for he conceives a mortal hatred against the truth which blames him and convinces him of his faults.

@DavidSacks
George Soros has been so uniquely destructive to law & order in American cities that there’s a name for the carnage he’s wrought: “Soros DAs.” His organization described its strategy to Politico in a 2016 article: it would change the law, not by going through legislatures, but rather by buying under-funded DA elections. His DAs would then change the law through the abuse of prosecutorial discretion.

Soros’ strategy worked because few were paying attention to hyper-local DA elections. No one expected out-of-town money to come in and seek to radically change their quality of life. Now that the results are clear, many more people are paying attention. This has caused some in the mainstream media and leftwing political groups to attempt to portray any criticism of Soros as anti-semitism. This is absurd.

Soros sought to have an outsized impact on public policy. He should not be immune from criticism. In any other context, the influence of money in politics would be a legitimate topic of conversation. Indeed, it is highly appropriate in a democracy to recognize when a special interest has subverted the public interest.

Exactly this. It was subfusc in the 1980s but as the "Traditional Liberals" started retiring or dying off, the radicals (for diversity of thought) they had hired in the 1970s began being more and more powerful on tenure boards and began only selecting fellow travellers.

The bait & switch that destroyed American manufacturing and led to a massive increase in human suffering

In the early 1990s, Democrats who supported free trade claimed that those who lost out on these international agreements (American factory workers) would be retrained for higher paying jobs as symbolic analysts (computer programmers, graphic designers, global production managers).

That’s not what happened. There was a bit of retraining money but it ran out pretty quickly. For the most part, factory workers with only a high school education did not become computer programmers. Instead, they became unemployed, depressed, riddled with pain, and disabled.

As midwestern and Appalachian towns were getting destroyed by NAFTA and later, China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, Democrats expanded federal spending for “healthcare”. Pharma took advantage by flooding depressed factory towns with opioids... that now kill 100,000 Americans a year. Suicide kills another 50,000.

Instead of retraining, former factory workers got slow genocide. THAT’S why these towns vote overwhelming for Trump. They remember the broken promises and Trump is the only president in the last 50 years who opposed free trade (and actually imposed tariffs on foreign products).

In most State schools, final tenure decisions are made by Boards of Regents which are installed by Governors. Yet even in red states like TX social justice warrior types abound among faculty. Either there is no caring or the politicians/regents are insanely incompetent.

https://slaynews.com/economy/mexico-overtakes-china-america-manufacturing-base/


As U.S. relations with China have fractured over the years, Mexico has emerged as the new manufacturing base for America.

Doing business overseas has become increasingly more expensive.

Due to the rising costs, experts believe that Mexico has now overtaken China to become the top manufacturer for American companies.

At the beginning of 2023, Mexico became the top U.S. trading partner with bilateral trade between the two countries totaling $263 billion during the first four months of this year, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

“Mexico’s emergence followed fractious U.S. relations with China, which had moved past Canada to claim the top trading spot in 2014,” said the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

In the dystopian novel 1984, the protagonist realizes that a senior English Socialist Party member can turn the telescreens off.

They have that power.

So too in the dystopian reality of 2024. Today, we’re realizing that a senior American Democrat Party member can turn the homeless encampments off.

They too have that power.

In fiction, the Party member was O’Brien. But in our reality, the Party member is Newsom. That’s Gavin Newsom: former mayor of San Francisco, current governor of California, and possible future President of the United States of America if Biden is firmly escorted off the stage.

As we’ll detail, Newsom recently pulled off an under-reported diplomatic coup by not only getting a rare in-person meeting with Xi Jinping, not only getting Chinese state-run media to sing his praises, but apparently getting Xi to come out in person to the Nov 11-17 APEC Summit in his home city of San Francisco, California.

In advance of Xi’s visit, Newsom just held up a hand and rolled up SF’s seemingly permanent homeless encampments. He spent the political capital to do this, overriding all the Democrats paid by the city to feed drugs to addicts. Of course, Newsom could have done this at any time to the homeless industrial complex, but why now? Because their local business model is temporarily less important than his global power model: the question of how to hold onto power for his Party when his country is in decline. ...

Why do we see Xi meeting with Newsom and then flying out to San Francisco for an in-person meeting at an eminently skippable summit in the middle of the chilliest period for American/Chinese relations in decades? Toyota has something called the Five Why’s, which we can use here.

Why are SF’s streets suddenly clean? Because Xi is coming.

And why is Xi coming? Because Newsom likely got him to come, as the trip wasn’t confirmed before Newsom’s meeting.

And how did Newsom do that, when so many others failed? He may have promised him something.

And how could he promise anything, given that he’s only a governor? Xi must think Newsom could be the next president.5

And what could Newsom promise? Probably detente between Democrats and Communists, as explicitly discussed in all these Chinese articles. ...

So, the Democrats need to make peace with some rival tribe to retain power. Would that mean reaching out to their domestic Republican rivals, their “fellow Americans”? Hell no! Democrats won’t hire Republicans and 95% of Democrats won’t marry them either. So they certainly won’t ally with Republicans in any except the most cynical of ways — to get them to pay the bills and die for empire.

After all, in 2023, the entire point of being a Democrat is the holy war against the Republicans — the racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobes responsible for every form of oppression, the straight white males (and white-adjacents) who need to be politically dispossessed to defend democracy. This has been the constant message from media and academia for decades now, and the result is BLM/Hamas. ...

After all, US manufacturing and the US military ain’t what it used to be. China is #1 in steel, #1 in trade, #1 in high speed rail, and #1 in shipbuilding. Meanwhile, the US is struggling to produce enough weapons for both Ukraine and Israel, let alone a war with China. And it estimates that it’d lose more troops in one week fighting China than in one decade in the war on terror.

By contrast, a Democrat/Communist pact may mean China resumes buying Treasuries, ships goods to lower inflation, filters Democrat-designated “misinformation” on TikTok, and intercedes with Iran and Russia — all of which could produce domestic and foreign policy gains that help keep Democrats in power. It’d be a Chinese bailout of American Democrats, when their numbers otherwise look extremely grim. ...

If Republicans want to be part of the most powerful nation, Democrats want to be part of the most powerful state.

That is: Democrats are wired differently from Republicans. While Republicans want to be part of a tight-knit community that organically scales from baseball and hot dogs to aircraft carriers and world domination, Democrats are fine with simply becoming senior administrators of a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, and even multi-national global empire.

For example, Republicans complain that the US is focusing more on the Russo-Ukrainian border than the Texas-Mexico border. But that’s because Republicans naively think of the US as a country populated by people with shared culture. Democrats by contrast think of the US as an empire, governed by enlightened bureaucrats, and recognize that the actual border of democracy is indeed in Ukraine. For a Democrat, the internal migration from Mexico to Texas is of no more moral concern than the internal migration from New Mexico to Texas. All of these are just provinces of the American Empire. And if you expand the borders of the empire, sure, you may dilute the founding nation, which would anger Republicans — but you expand the reach of the state, which would favor Democrats.

So, while Republicans would find the idea alien, it’s not that big a deal for Democrats to work out a power-sharing deal with Communists to manage a global empire. Again, that’s been part of the playbook since FDR and Ted Kennedy.

Also, if the Republican base leans Russia, the Democrat base likes China more.

Some Republicans have a soft spot for Russia, which they see as surviving communism to rebuild the Russian Orthodox Church. Democrats by contrast hate Russians, because (a) they’re mostly white Orthodox Christians, (b) they blame them for Russiagate, and (c) they refuse to submit to the American state.

These sympathies are reversed when it comes to China.7 Republicans now see the Chinese as the most threatening outgroup; while not acknowledged, China is what unenlightened generations would have called the “Yellow Peril.” But the TikTok Democrat has much more sympathy for China. After all, the CCP is non-white, non-Western, and calls themselves communists…so can they really be that bad? Or so the logic goes.

This is the most hilarious thing I read today. The so-called Russian Orthodox Church was not "rebuilt after surviving communism" - it's the same fake entity Stalin created when he needed to motivate his subjects to fight for him in WWII and just Communism ideology wasn't cutting it. It was built from scratch in 1941 (after being completely destroyed in the 1920-30s) and populated by KGB officers. And it never changed. Just like restoration of Russia never happened: it was destroyed in 1917 but whatever is calling itself "Russia" is the same old USSR with the same people (Commies) in power. Was any land or property confiscated by Commies returned to their pre-coup owners? Nope. Is everybody at the top a former CPSU member or KGB agent, or both? Yes, they are. The idiots fapping at Russian Orthodox Church are fapping at something which is not Russian, not Orthodox and not a church.

‘Democrats see ordinary Americans as the great unwashed’

Ruy Teixeira on how the Democratic Party abandoned the working class.

Who would vote for the Democrats now? Certainly not working-class Americans. Once the voice of the union man, the Democratic Party is now more interested in acting as a mouthpiece for the college-educated elites. These supposed progressives care more about imposing woke ideology and Net Zero penury on ordinary people, than they do about improving their lives. And yet Democrats remain baffled as to why working-class voters are turning to Donald Trump.
