The Regime Change Cycle

Dominic Cummings takes a page from Peter Turchin and observes that the West is entering the next phase in what has been observed to be a regime change cycle averaging about 50 years.

If you look back at European history since the French Revolution, there is a cycle of slow rot, elite blindness, sudden crisis, fast collapse, regime change that flares up roughly every 50 years… The vast majority of Insiders cannot see this process while they are playing their part in it and even those who see some only ever see a little. The process only acquires any coherence in retrospect when it becomes history, people define a period including the run-up then the crisis and the regime change and try to abstract critical features of it and argue for centuries about the ‘causes’. Though even after it becomes ‘history’ it remains unsolved: we still can’t describe a good model for the cause of war in summer 1914, we still argue about whether the French Revolution was net good/bad, most find it impossible to learn much from the Cuban crisis even though we can listen to secret recordings of key meetings.

Looking back since the French Revolution and end of the Holy Roman Empire we see this cycle repeat.

  • A cycle of major war and revolution ended in 1815 with the Peace of Vienna.
  • In Germany the 1815 settlement nearly crumbled 1848-50, barely held, then was transformed in 1866-71 (~50 years) then again, after another ~50 years, in 1918 (Weimar), again in 1933 (Nazis) and 1945 (West/East Germany), then ~50 years of relative stability then again in 1989/91 (a re-united Germany).
  • France has had more regime changes depending how exactly you count them.
  • Russia had four: the Tsars, Communists, Yeltsin, now Putin (although nominally the Yeltsin constitution largely remains I think it’s more accurate to see the current regime as fundamentally different in a similar way as Prussia/Germany was fundamentally different after 1866-67 even though the old Prussian constitution remained).
  • The Habsburgs were chased out of Vienna in 1848 and had to fight their way back in, had to rejig the Empire after Italian and German unification, collapsed in 1918, that regime was replaced by the Nazis then replaced again in 1945.
  • And so on…

Sometimes regime change goes faster and wider as crises multiply (e.g 1848-71, 1917-19), sometimes it is more stable (e.g 1815-48, 1871-1914, 1945-89). But 50 years seems to be about the maximum then at least a few big regimes change. And even Britain and America, avoiding revolution and defeat, have seen a similar process of the regime being reinvented every 50 years or so (Washington/Hamilton, Lincoln, FDR, ??).

I think what’s happening now across the western world rhymes with this cycle.

There are certainly a number of disaffected elites, which Turchin believes to be a necessary requirement of successful change. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are just two examples of elite figures who have been rejected by the system and thereby been inspired to transform it more to their liking. This does not, to be sure, make them “the good guys”; they are still elites, and, being products of the system, are naturally inclined to try to preserve and transform it rather than burn it down entirely and build anew.

However, it is encouraging that history is clearly not on the side of some of its most wicked players. The global imperialists are failing, as we know they inevitably will, because both God and human nature are against them.

Immigration Kills 11 in Germany

Elon Musk is right. Only the AfD and massive repatriation can save Germany from Clown World:

Horror in Germany as ’11 people are killed and up to 80 injured’ as car ploughs into crowd of people at Christmas market

A car drove into a group of people at a Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday, leaving at least 11 dead and between 60 and 80 people injured.

The driver of the car, reported to be a dark BMW, was arrested following the crash which took place at 7:04pm today, according to unidentified government officials in the state of Saxony-Anhalt who spoke to the dpa news agency.

Bild reported that the car was driven ‘at least 400m (1,300ft) across the Christmas market’, per a police spokesperson. The alleged perpetrator is said to have been a man from Saudi Arabia who was born in 1974, per Welt. German broadcaster MDR reported that a suspected explosive device is currently sitting in the vehicle.

According to emergency services, who have set up tents to immediately treat victims, several people were ‘severely’ injured.

Video footage too graphic to share appears to show the dark car careening into the dense crowd, leaving dozens of people lying on the floor. Within seconds, countless revellers can be see fleeing for their lives in the wake of the crash. Separate footage showed children crying loudly as several small crowds of people formed over those injured in the crash, in apparent attempts to help them.

We see this every year. Every single year. Unless and until Europe returns to Christendom and the invaders are repatriated, the satanic slaughter will continue.

How is it even possible that the Bundeswehr just sits by and permits this to happen? How do the German politicians imagine they’re going to defend Ukraine from Russia when they can’t even defend their own people from foreign invaders?

Note that the mass murderer is an Arab doctor.

Yeah, It’s Going to Get Worse

And by worse, I mean a LOT worse for Neil Gaiman fans, as in the aftermath of multiple sexual assault accusations being made, non-fans are going back, reading Gaiman’s work, and observing what was always – and I do mean always – obvious in his work:

Many years ago I bought a huge anthology of Gaiman’s stories. I wasn’t familiar with his work and wanted to give this man a chance. The book collected dust for ages until this week. I had no idea about the allegations when I started reading, but the stories disturbed me enough that I got curious about him and googled. Based on the stories I’m reading so far, I can’t say I’m surprised. I know y’all are huge fans over here, but….has no one noticed how strange his approach to writing women and children is????

I just finished Snow Glass Apples, about a 13 year old girl prostitute vampire that get’s happily r***d by a necrophiliac… He’s very clearly a master storyteller, he didn’t have to go there. He could have easily disturbed us without having to resort to the pedo overtones. But he made the choice to go there. He wanted to. He likes the story better this way.

There are traces of this kind of thing in the stories I’ve read so far – the way the troll in Troll Bridge sniffs at the 15 year old girl’s breasts and crotch. Again, the story was good on it’s own. These details add nothing to the story except to be edgy by sexualizing a very young girl.

It’s not simply about what you write, it’s the way you write about it. There are no shortage of people who were severely put off by my approach to the multicultural interactions portrayed in the prologue to A SEAS OF SKULLS. And due to the way I wrote about it, no one is going to conclude that I am pro-beheading, pro-rape, or pro-crucifixion, although they might correctly conclude that I am not enthusiastic about mass migration.

When, like Neil Gaiman, you’re writing about underage teenage girls and putting them in overtly sexual situations on a regular basis, then drawing a bath for your wife’s young nanny and exposing yourself to her, there is an awful lot of very foul-smelling smoke that lends itself to the conclusion there is a extremely nasty fire burning somewhere in the dark.

Tanith Lee wrote a fair amount of dark sexual material. She also wrote about children from time to time. But what she did not do was combine the two. While what one writes tells the reader a lot about the writer, how one writes tells the reader even more and may even provide some hints as to why.

There are rumors that a big story about Gaiman will be published in mid-January. We’ll see, and we probably shouldn’t be surprised by anything that might be alleged. After all, he managed to convince a surprising number of people that he was “a master storyteller” when he has always been more akin to a deejay doing remixes than an original musician.

The Litany Against Retardery

Some may find this philosophical mantra to be useful as they are subjected to a non-stop stream of retardery from the Non-Player Characters in their lives mindlessly regurgitating their mainstream programming.

THE LITANY AGAINST RETARDERY

I do not hear.

Retardery is the cosmic background noise.

Retardery is the mind-morass that inspires neural disintegration.

And when it has gone it will leave no trace behind.

The Fall of the Fake Democracies

Simplicius rightly calls out the fake democratic imperialism of Clown World’s European slave-leaders and their woefully misnamed “rules-based order”:

A new speech by Georgian pretender Salome Zourabichvili to the EU Parliament is a must-see. It is the very apotheosis of the Rules Based Order’s terminal decline, on which we’ve enlarged at length here. As things get down to the wire and the European ruling elite squander their mandate from the people, they have no avenue left but to ratchet up totalitarian policies to stay in power—and to keep the system, that interconnected grid of elite deep state power in control. As that occurs, their anti-democratic calls become increasingly naked, as they’re forced to say the quiet parts aloud:

It is in the context of what recently happened in Romania and elsewhere that her speech is seen in its most egregious light. She essentially calls on European powers to intervene in her own country, to act against her own people and government, which she calls illegitimate; for the record she’s now called both the parliamentary and presidential elections illegitimate and has vowed to illegally stay past her deadline.

There are so many outright shockingly hypocritical and treasonous statements it would be too long to list them all. Right from the getgo she blames Russian “imperialistic tendencies” for wanting to influence Georgia, yet almost in the same breath declares that Georgia is a “strategic interest” for Europe, and that Europe should therefore move in to take control of it. Is that not imperialism by the same name?

She goes on along the tack of saying the unspoken by naming every strategic advantage that NATO and the EU would see with Georgia under their control, such as control of the Black Sea, Armenia, the Caucuses, amongst other things.

She hails the illegal nullification of the Romanian election, which is met with resounding applause by the corrupt unelected bureaucrats. And this shows the flagrant corruption of the system—a dying empire seeks only absolute power and expansion at all costs, nothing else matters. Laws, rules, democratic principles are mere frivolities to be used as bargaining chips or talking points as means to an end.

It has become abundantly clear that nothing the Enlightenment promised is real. Every single intellectual pillar upon which it rests, from biology and economics to physics and science, is entirely false. Not misleading or mistaken, entirely and consciously false.

These wicked people aren’t even the atheist materialists they pretend to be!

However, these are dangerous times, because every time The Empire That Never Ended is exposed and overthrown, it lashes out and attempts to do as much damage as it can on the way out. But this time, we have to do a better job of chronicling its evil, in order to avoid future historians crying about the methods required to both repress the evil and unleash positive human potential.

The demographic and economic consequences of the Black Death, which kept populations down and labour scarce well into the 1400s, exacerbated conflict. After about 1470, however, the balancee tilted across Europe. This can be seen most vividly in the consolidation of powerful new monarchies in France, Eland, and Spain… Political consolidation was accompanied by increasingly rigid social hierarchies and a new wave of repression directed against those who diverged from Christian ideals. At the same time, intellectual innovation beginning in Italy transformed education, religion, and eventually elite culture as a whole.
– A Concise History of Switzerland

We’ve seen the dreadful fruits resulting from the rule of an elite that diverged from Christian ideals. That pendulum has already reached its apex, and now it is swinging back toward new political consolidations, increasingly rigid hierarchies, and new waves of repression and intellectual innovation that will, taken in their entirey, have massively positive effects for humanity and the world.

The connection between social discipline and positive social advancement is no different than the one between personal discipline and positive personal improvement. The obese, drugged, immoral, dishonest, society in which we live is the direct result of the West’s abject failure to reject and repress The Empire That Never Ended and its wicked representatives like Salome Zourabichvili. It is the direct result of rejecting the truth and foolishly choosing to believe Clown World’s lies.

Russia’s Presidential Q&A 2024

The difference between the intelligence displayed by the leaders of the sovereign nations and the degenerate leaders of Clown World is underlined given the comparison between the Russian President and the literally senile President of the United States in the former’s annual question-and-answer session.

Alexandra Suvorova: You have cited Germany and Japan as examples. I wish to focus on Germany having a zero percent growth rate, which you mentioned as a case previously known for its economic expansion. Do you believe this is perhaps linked to politics and sovereignty? Not long ago, at the VTB Forum Russia Calling!, you reminisced about Gerhard Schroeder’s birthday celebration, remarking how all the songs were in English, with none performed in German.

Vladimir Putin: There were. It’s an interesting episode. Quite some time ago, it was Gerhard Schroeder’s birthday, he invited me and I attended. There was a small concert, and, as it happened, all the companies performed in English. I remarked at the time, “Even the Hannover girls’ choir sang in English.”

There was, however, one ensemble that performed in German: the Kuban Cossack Choir, which accompanied me. Moreover, this was entirely unexpected on my part. I inquired, “How did you come to know these songs?” They replied, “Out of respect for the Germans, our hosts, we learnt these songs en route and performed them in German, including those from the local region where we are now.” During the intermission, numerous attendees approached me (I recount this as it truly unfolded) and expressed, “We are embarrassed, truly, that only Russian Cossacks performed in German here.”

I recounted this to a colleague who was present at the event, which has now been recalled. You see, sovereignty is a crucial concept; it must reside within, in one’s heart. In the post-war era, I believe this sense – of homeland and sovereignty – has been somewhat eroded among the German people.

Who are the Europeans, after all? They are proud to be European, yet they are foremost French, German, Italian, Spanish, and then European. There is a tendency to smooth out things, to homogenise. Ultimately, this affects everything, including the economy.

I previously spoke about our economic growth – this is largely attributable to the reinforcement of sovereignty, which extends to the economic realm. Many foreign manufacturers have exited our market. What has been the consequence? Our entrepreneurs have started producing these goods domestically, necessitating further research and the engagement of institutions, including those focused on development. All of this – what we are discussing – is the enhancement of technological sovereignty.

Sovereignty manifests itself in various forms: defence, technology, science, education, culture. This is of paramount importance, especially for our nation, because should we lose sovereignty, we risk losing statehood. That is the crux.

Economic growth is also an effect of bolstered sovereignty.

Free trade, as Ian Fletcher and I have proven – not demonstrated, proven – is a lie. Comparative advantage as advertised doesn’t exist as it clearly doesn’t benefit both parties. The economic and political entwinement of nations being beneficial to those nations is also a lie, as it is nothing more than imperialism accruing to the benefit of the ruling imperial elite at the expense of those nations. Neither the occupied European nations nor the imperial USA are the good guys in this conflict. To the contrary, their elites represent, not the future to which they aspire, but the very worst aspects of humanity.

“I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong. No Viet Cong ever called me nigger. I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over.”
– Muhammad Ali

Neither Americans nor Europeans have any quarrel with the Russians. It’s their white slave masters who do, and who are destroying their nations and countless Ukrainian lives, in a futile attempt to salvage their wicked empire that never ended.

UPDATE: Speaking of the contrast between the two presidents, blown cover as cover:

The terrifying scandal is that Biden was NEVER president.

Apparently the truth is going to come out sooner than we expected. But this isn’t an admission about Donald Trump winning the 2020 presidential election, which he did, but about Joe Biden’s incapacity from the start of his fake term. And they’re even hinting at the use of the six Bidens.

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, as recently as March, called this sham of a president ‘intellectually, analytically… the best Biden ever.’

Senile From Day One

Even before his fake term is up, they’re admitting that Joe Biden was senile and mentally incapable of serving as President. It won’t be long before they’ll be admitting that he was never elected at all.

White House Biden health cover-up blown wide open in bombshell report: Joe was senile from day one of presidency

A bombshell report details how President Joe Biden’s White House hid from the public his rapidly diminishing mental and physical condition for his entire presidency. Biden’s team hired a vocal coach, put other officials into roles usually occupied by the president and neglected to share with him negative news stories, according to an explosive report in The Wall Street Journal.

It exposed an extensive and thought-out cover-up that included the administration repeatedly gaslighting those who dared to claim the president was no longer the same man who had served as vice president.

But Biden’s decline was hard to overlook – especially after Special Counsel Robert Hur last year released a report in the classified documents case depicting a forgetful and frail then-81-year-old.

Hur decided not to charge Biden because he ‘would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory’ and ‘it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him.’

The WSJ notes how Biden couldn’t even repeat back to his staff lines they fed him while preparing for his interview with the special counsel. Biden would also cancel important national security meetings, with aides excusing him because he has ‘bad days and good days’.

From day one, I have never referred to anything but “the fake Biden administration”. I have never, ever, believed for even one second that any of the Six Bidens received more votes than Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, or Barack Obama. And while I didn’t know he was legitimately senile back in 2016, it was obvious that he was not firing on all four cylinders.

This revelation ends any serious pretense to democratic legitimacy in the West. They might as readily have “elected” a chimpanzee or an AI influencer. Isn’t it intriguing and informative that the eventual revelations always tend to exceed the conspiracy theories upon which the mainstream media tries to cast doubt?

CTMU Goes Mainstream

It was a bit surprising to see Chris Langan being quoted about his CTMU and its implications for mortality in the British media:

‘What happens after we die?’ is the most existential question humans face.

But a man with one of the highest IQs in history claims to know the answer.

Chris Langan, 72, is an American horse rancher who is alleged to have an IQ between 190 and 210. That ‘genius’ score is 30 to 50 points higher than Albert Einstein’s.

Langan has developed a hypothesis called the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU), which he says ‘explains the connection between mind and reality.’

He believes that when we die, we transition from one form of being to another within the computational structure of reality, meaning the consciousness, or ‘soul,’ moves to another dimension or plane of existence we cannot access while alive.

It’s not clear what that new dimension would look like, or what happens to the ‘soul’ once it arrives there. But Langan believes traditional views of heaven and hell are too simplistic, whereas his theory posits a transition to an entirely new state of being.

Langan explained his concept of death during an appearance on the podcast Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal in May.

He said death is ‘The termination of your relationship with your particular physical body that you have at this present time. When you are retracted from this reality, you go back up toward the origin of reality. You can be provided with a substitute body, another kind of terminal body that allows you to keep on existing.’

Thus, according to Langan, death does not mean that you cease to exist.

Once you transition to this new plane of exitance, you might not even remember who you were before, Langan said. ‘You can have – these memories can be – nothing goes out of existence in the math.’

The CTMU isn’t Christian per se; it’s better described as Christian-compatible philosophy. I’ve read his main paper on it and comprehended about half of it on the first go-through. My plan is to read it again, interview him, and then do a series of Darkstream’s attempting to interpret it for people. It should be interesting to find myself in the role of a popularizer rather than an originator for a change.

Migration = Homelessness

After permitting millions of foreigners to enter the country, the British government is shocked and astonished to discover it now has a homelessness problem.

The British government has announced “the largest ever cash boost” to tackle soaring destitution in England, which Minister for Homelessness Rushanara Ali has admitted is “the worst housing crisis in living memory.”

Councils across the country will receive almost £1 billion ($1.27 billion) in new funding next year, it was revealed on Tuesday. The amount is equal to what councils spent on temporary accommodation for homeless families over the past year, recent figures show.

The funding aims to prevent “households becoming homeless in the first place,” according to a press release.

So, they’re going to build more homes. Next, they’ll discover that they have new pollution, environmental problems. Totally unforeseeable, of course.

And if you don’t think migration causes homelessness, ask yourself where all those Indians who provided the names to the towns in your area are living… but it’s the Americans and the British who are the Indians now.
