The relationship by an initial bribe, I guess it clicks now that you said it.

The Roman lines are still important. If a culture can bridge them, then some interesting powers are enabled. I do not understand why, but I see evidence. The evolution of such a culture able to bridge, has been over a long duration of time.

The Greeks had the ability to function in "True Asia". Here I mention ethnographic rather than geographic identifications. India for instance like North America Eurasian, and Eurafrican. Iran is Eurasian, the Arabian Peninsula is Eurafrican.

Romans had little ability to function in the Eurasian realms. Why? Well, I don't know, but some evidence is apparent from history. But the Greeks, Icelanders, and here and there people on that fault line, have to some degree achieved representative government in history. The Romans had some success, but lots of failures in that regard.

Slavery prohibition is a massive advancement beyond that. I guess it may be true, that with machines it was possible to have enough wealth without formal enslavement of people.

To see the Brits go into bondage, is an indicator that something is wrong. It invites worse things.

YouTube: The Future of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander || Peter Zeihan

Video release date March 26, 2025
Last week we had Donald Trump repeating some particularly interesting propaganda. Notice he was saying in Truth Social posts and in interviews that the Russians had surrounded several thousand Ukrainian troops and he was pleading with the Russians to not kill them in what would be a bloodbath. Here's the thing: that never happened. In fact that didn't even occur in Russian propaganda in American political circles. That was Russian propaganda for Russian citizens, to try to convince Russian citizenry that the war in Ukraine was going very well. Somehow that little bit got lodged in Trump's mind and it didn't come from the CIA or the FBI or the Defense Department. It either came directly from Vladimir Putin, or through one of the other vectors that the Russians have been using to influence his administration. So we have a White House that is making public statements and policies basing on an internal Russian propaganda now. And if I could think of one thing that the Russians want in the short term from this administration it's to destroy the NATO alliance which was always formed to contain Russian aggression. And here we are.

Given the option it would be preferred to leave Europe and forget that they exist for a while. But Canada and Mexico have shown decent behaviors just recently, and so, in spite of our spite for Europe, I guess we have to try harder.

The great concern is that an all-out clash between Russia and West Europe with the North Americans backing them would end in vast carnage, at best, and there are other players not necessarily of a savory type that will take advantage of the resulting vacuum.

The best outcome is a draw where Russia does not possess all of Ukraine. The second best is where Russia takes possession of all of Ukraine the worst has another party occupying and colonizing the Ukraine.

The globalists don't care western and near western peoples are those who you can betray to gain Judas money.

There are deeper dangers in this than your simple minded analysis can see.

Unfortunately, our P.Z. does not so much value American or Western values. I think he values power. A great guy, but I don't think he plays entirely for the good guys.

I think that this is pretty good at saying what current events are up to: https://turleytalks.com/videos/trump-of … list-order

Dr. Steve Turley, Tump Officially DESTROYS the Liberal Globalist Order!!!

I think it has been said by others now that liberal is not left. Not anymore.

But I think Liberal has perhaps discovered moderation. A source of warmth is nice on a cold day, but your house on fire is not nice, for example. That is my opinion.

Empire of Money SHRIEKS as Trump UNLEASHES American Producers - Midweek Update - April 9, 2025
Promethean Update

I am beginning to think that the basic conflict is Capable Man vs. Dominant Man.

Dominant Man would be a regression into apehood.

But the toolmaker, first a weapon maker, then developed increasing capabilities sliding into what we might call technology.

But the Dominant Man always only wants to own controllable subordinate people.

Somehow Trump is in the correct side. I suggest that in a different life he might have been involved in technology. But he knows his way through the Snakepit as well.

The green movement was simply an effort to return to serfdom, I am thinking by now.

Just as for others such as P. Zeihan, I have a saltshaker full of grains which I might use from time to time.

I would say at this point that Globalization made some sense in the late 20th Century.

However, I think it is very important that Americans try to find their own way and to ignore the arrogance that even our so-called friends, may show towards us.

I believe that America is a reservoir of special people. Not the only place they exist, but a large amount of those that I feel matter. As an example, I am technically 1/4 Canadian. Even Canada donated people, and lots of them to America.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Americans

One of my sisters' best friends was French Canadian, but American, so it is not uncommon.

The flow is from places where rigid power of the Dominant Man prohibits much of what Capable Man can do. But even in America we have had problems with Dominant Man. (Includes female familiar spirits also, as facilitators).

The emergence of new sources of robotic labor, takes away from the motivation for Globalization. The reduction in our responsibility to protect Europe, is another factor.

So, I mention the linear flow, of the capable from the chains that the Dominants always want to impose.

There is another feature however, power has flowed on another vector, from Spain and Portugal and up the North Sea Coast. The British had a great run, but they don't even seem to be able to protect their culture from intruders with bad intentions. Being on their back foot, it is inevitable that we cannot trust them, as they may sell us out to protect some things that are more internal to their interests.

So, for various reasons I think we have to become more America Centric, in most ways. That does not wash away everything about the past but makes trying to hold onto the past often to be a losing game, I think.
