📖 Andrew Doyle’s The New Puritans: How The Religion of Social Justice Captured The Western World begins and ends with America’s Salem Witch Trials.
In between, he has twelve chapters, each of whose titles has a religious connotation and all of which, when taken collectively, fillet not only Critical Race Theory (CRT) but all of its neo Marxist derivatives.
If you are looking for a book to assail all such nonsense, this is the tome for you.

⚖️ What fool was it who said that the collective West, the fabled City on the Hill whose “values” are universal and binding on all, is amoral?
A greater untruth was never uttered 🤥
Of course, the West espouses and acts according to specific moral principles. But these principles need to be identified and their effects unequivocally recognized.
The moral doctrine which governs the conduct of the collective West will be sought in vain in the Bible or the Quran, in the ethical or political writings of Aristotle, or in the precepts of Confucius and the other sages of the East. That rather little known moral doctrine is called Situation Ethics.

🌎 The organization is the heir to the throne that was vacated after Nazi Germany’s defeat.
The foreign ministers of the NATO military alliance met this week for a summit in the Romanian capital Bucharest for what was a celebration of the bloc’s expansion.
The anti-Russia rhetoric and hostility were also effervescent. “Russia does not have a veto,” crowed the delegates who swore to “not back down” in supplying even more deadly weaponry to Ukraine in order to strike Russia’s heartlands.
It’s astounding how such ghoulish warmongering can be projected as upholding international law, democracy and human rights 🛡

🇱🇾🇺🇸 The interesting detail of the Lockerbie bombing was the extent of how far the plotters went to divert blame to Libya.
There can be no better example of the old saying “a lie can travel half way around the world before the truth is even putting its shoes on” than Lockerbie. This tragic story of a U.S. passenger flight brought down by a bomb over the small Scottish village just a few days before Christmas in 1988 is heartbreaking on a number of levels. But the main one is that even to this day, the Americans continue to keep the huge lie alive: Libya’s involvement 🔐
Just in the last week of November, still we see news reports from U.S. media newswires writing about Lockerbie and continuing to promote Libya’s involvement when 34 years after the terrible event the evidence is so overwhelming to show that Libya had nothing to do with the bombing.
In recent days, it has been reported that a third man in the Lockerbie bombing – a Libyan intelligence officer with bomb-making skills – has disappeared, sparking worries in Libya that the Americans might restart a case against the country even though a previous agreement with the U.S. is in place.

🌍🦅 That liberalism ideology has reached a point when it is an insufferable form of any dignified thinking and practical coordinate system.
The old conflict in between fascism and communism is not vitally important any longer in this state of geopolitical affairs in 2022.
This ongoing conflict is a conflict between liberal in its most decadent form😖 vs the traditional 👍
The Collective West fails to understand and acknowledge is that this longstanding process, which has reached its ugly peak with the crisis in Ukraine cannot be put on the back burner temporarily, let alone stopped for good.

⛓🏰 The EU is beginning to wake up and realise that its relationship with the U.S. has reached farcical levels of master and slave.
And yet, despite the EU’s chief diplomat recently refusing to be drawn into a conflict scenario with China and MEPs pathetically voting to deem Russia a terrorist state, it was not the EU which came to the conclusion. It was the French president Emmanuel Macron 🇫🇷

🪔 Although Ukraine’s power grid has been heavily hit, it is as nothing compared to what Syria is suffering this very day.
Although Ukrainians are suffering from the cold, it is as nothing compared to what NATO has inflicted on Syria’s children, countless numbers of whom freeze to death, winter after bleak Syrian winter.
The real problem is not Russia, which will border Ukraine until the end of time but the U.S. which is using and abusing not only Ukraine but all of Europe to emasculate and enslave the entire continent from Dublin to Vladivostok 📍

🇩🇪 The famed German business model as such is under a most severe breakneck pressure.
We have to ask ourselves whether in ten years there will be anybody here to produce anything at all and be competitive in the global market? How justifiable is this frightening gloom and doom view of the world?

🌍 It becomes questionable whether the West can compete as a civilisational state and maintain a presence.
The world ‘Map’ is accelerating its shift away from the paralysed Washington ‘hub’ – but to what? The myth that China, Russia, or the non-western world can be fully assimilated to a Western model of political society (any more than Afghanistan was) is over.
So to where are we headed? 🧭

🐉🦅 The Xi vs Biden meeting stood out a geopolitical mile for its vital importance or at least for its potential to make the world laugh at Biden’s faux pas.
The G20 Bali Summit 2022 was and still is in its wake ‘a battlefield’ between two global sides in an economical/financial and political war all in one: the Collective West and all the others.
G20 countries were and are split in half and not much more than that should have been expected.
The old world order doggedly refuses to leave the geopolitical arena whilst the new one is still in its fledgling stage ✨
👉 On one geopolitical front there were/are: the USA and its allies: EU, Germany, France, Italy, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea in one word: The Collective West.
👉 On the other one there are Russia and all the other members which have not imposed sanctions on Russia: ten of them in total.
Let us try and remember the times when G20 was established in 1999. Admittedly, one couldn’t have possibly imagined the shape and form this list is in today.
In this other / second group are Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey in alphabetical order of this formally informal alliance in terms of their cultural, historical, geopolitical values to say the least which would be an understatement on my part.
This second group of countries tend to be in the long and arduous process of distancing themselves in an ever-growing alienation and saying goodbye to the Collective West because what binds them together within G20 at this point is economy only but there is a gaping hemorrhaging hole in between all of them in terms of their cultures, values and views on a multitude of other issues which keeps them split apart.

💢 European politicians are once again fueling war with their calumnies against Russia and their deliberate stoking of Nazi embers.
One would think, perhaps, that with a perilous war raging on the European continent, the European Union’s parliament might want to show some leadership in promoting diplomatic solutions to end that conflict.
No, not a bit of it 🌀
The European Parliament has shown itself again this week to be nothing more than a giant reactionary talking shop whose proclaimed democratic values have an inverse relationship to its copious chamber of 705 parliamentarians.
Only three years ago, the same parliament voted on a resolution that shamefully distorted the origins of the Second World War by trying to equate the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany.

😱 The horrendous death toll in the U.S. and Europe has been caused not so much by a virus but by an underlying disease of capitalist psychopathy.
The death toll from the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States is now well over 1.1 million. New mass infections and the proliferation of immune-resistant virus variants indicate the death toll will continue to rise as the third winter of the pandemic hits.
Europe faces a similarly bleak outlook of mounting sickness and deaths from the novel coronavirus known as SARS-Cov-2, which has undergone numerous mutations since the world pandemic was declared in early 2020. This is while Western governments pretend that the pandemic is over and adopt a policy of their populations “living with Covid”.
Let’s put these figures in perspective. The worldwide total deaths from the disease are estimated at 6.6 million, according to the authoritative Johns Hopkins University. The U.S. death toll of 1.1 million (and counting) represents over 16 percent of the world’s total even though its national population is only about 4.2 percent of the globe.
China’s deaths from Covid-19 are around 5,200, according to the same database. That is an astounding three orders of magnitude smaller. Even though China has a population nearly four times that of the United States, its mortality figure is less than 0.5 percent of the U.S.
China’s population of 1.4 billion people is about 18.5 percent of the globe. That means its death toll from Covid-19 is approximately 0.00006 percent of the global deaths from the disease. Again, the U.S. Covid death toll is nearly 16 percent of the world.
Surely, any rational-thinking person would want to explore the reasons for such a vast disparity. But not, it seems, in the West where the corporate media’s function is to stifle critical thinking.
The stark and shocking contrast in these U.S. and China figures is down to the difference between capitalism and socialism 🏟
