A little light character assassination for breakfast
Will no one rid us of these dreadful people?
I don’t know enough to write with authority about war, but in 2017 I said to the narrow silo of pals allowed me by Facebook, that the fiends (Hillary and Podesta) prosecuting the Russia hoax were going to start a war with Russia and so they have.
I also know the seduction of the Great Game as it has been known for freaking ever. “You have no idea”, said a friend, “how fast your mind starts measuring for drapes at Downing Street”, her husband angling for a spot in the Mother of All Parliaments. The man I was dating had just informed me he was thinking of running for President, and I was standing there, barely upright, my mind reeling. I promise you there is no addiction stronger than the feeling coursing through me at that moment.
Around early Trump, a character calling himself Pryam Farll acquired a host of ‘friends’ on Facebook among the most influential intellectual activist/writers on the right. He claimed to be a member of the Danish Royal Family, related to Prince Phillip, who spent Christmas at Sandringham, mentored Prince Harry and who read Putin’s email. He hated Putin with all his strength, claimed to be a General in US Intelligence, had worked in Reagan White House, and spent his time dropping into NATO, the EU, and Defence Departments in countries adjacent to Russia in the service of marshalling power against Putin, surrounding him with armies and bases and, as it turns out, bioweapons labs. He was also, tongue-in-cheek, ‘6’8”, devastatingly handsome and mind-blowingly rich’. He posted a dozen times a day, hilarious, way too bright, and substantive. Around the time that the first lie emerged about the Russia Hoax, which he claimed to have helped invent, he said he was in at the War Office in Romania, and to “start no trouble whilst he worked”.
Then he vanished.
And whether he was a genius kid in the basement or a mock-up by MI6 counter-intelligence meant to influence the influential, he serves as a type, the type that got us into this mess, where we are ghost-walking into nuclear conflict. The British since McKinder have had it out for the Russians and Russia-hate is baked into their intellectual class. Did the U.S. blow up Nordstream? Maybe, maybe not, but we very probably paid for it. More like MI6 and General Farll did the deed, and theirs is the ghastly world we now inhabit.
The early neo-cons promoted war as a way to get the “common” people “exhilarated and unified”. Get them off rock and roll, sex and shopping onto a spiritual crusade for “democracy”, they thought, demonstrating one of the aspects of this type: they didn’t have much fun in high school.
Iraq 1 and 2 were a result of this thinking. And now Ukraine. This crowd has spent almost a decade since Trump’s throwaway remark that maybe we should ally with Russia, stirring up hate. This entirely, entirely to cover for their thefts and crimes. And now they present us with another opportunity to be exhilarated and unified. Aren’t we just blessed?
If the Ukraine had signed and executed Minsk 2, we wouldn’t be in this mess. This was created by slender boy-men like Antony Blinken and little-girl-women like Samantha Power and Victoria Nuland, playing the Great Game without any notion of the actual effect of their ambitions on those they see as servile nothings, good for tax dollars like us, or foreign meatsuits to bomb to death. They have killed or wounded 500,000 Ukrainians in the last two years. Britain alone has issued 190,000 visas to terrified Ukrainians. Soros’s 2014 Color Revolution, where they installed a puppet over an actually elected Russian-friendly President, started the rush and ever since it’s all Pryam Farll angling for nuclear conflict
.
In the past 20 years, Americans spent $10 trillion in Middle Asia raining down hell from the sky, killing children and families, bombing wedding parties and funerals and no one protests. Do you honestly think that isn’t going to come home to roost one day? It was certainly how the Obama regime morphed into the illegitimate Biden regime. They made a deal with Big Money: perpetual war and trillions of taxpayer money pouring into Defence and its adjacent industries.
We all profit from the death of brown people the Americans kill daily. Every dividend check from an IRA or mutual fund profits off the wholesale killing of those people like Farll and my ex no doubt (would have) advocated for. Wean the New York banks off the weapons industry and you get your country back.
We are living in an inversion of an ethical world. Stirring up emotion about the Russians/Iraqis/etc is good business. You can make mid six-figures propagandizing a war.
These people are pitiless. I spent ten years among them and their emotional selves are shriveled and residual. They do not have original thoughts; they repeat what they have collectively determined is the “truth” that best serves their will to power. The point of every day is advancing that agenda in increments, in pursuit of the feeling that hit me like a bomb, stronger than any addiction on earth. These people are worse than those defecating on the streets in San Francisco, they are married to the triumphal rush of dealing death, they serve it. It is, in Naomi Wolf’s parlance, an Old Bad God returned. They are addicts. They are degraded. They are un-peopling themselves, killing their souls. Listen to this ridiculous woman and her stretched metaphors and consider, Big Money sends out women and people of color to sell their schemes because they are harder to criticize.
How many have they killed in the last 20 years, safe in their bricked streets in Georgetown or Virginia or Kensington? Because that is the real cost. That is why the election was stolen. That is the purpose of the Green Delusion that bitch-slaps us every day, making it impossible for business men and women to grow, for families to grow, for economies and towns and small cities to flourish. They need us cowed and miserable so they can go on looting.
It's done them well. They have doubled their share of the nation’s wealth since March 2020. We are at the same level of wealth inequality as was the case before the French Revolution. No wonder they want to confiscate guns.
Of course this is all centered around the intellectual fatuity of the Davos plan to enslave humanity in a technocratic prison because “climate change”. Russia under Putin is rapidly reclaiming its thousand year old culture, reintegrating the church, refusing the revolting ambi-sexual garbage of our culture. Davos couldn’t tolerate that. Plus Davos Man wants Russian resources, the vast wealth locked up in the steppes and Siberian wastes can power unimaginable wealth. So, they are willing to destroy the culture that created Tolstoy. No other literature approaches Russia’s in its prime, nor is there a more transcendent music. This is what Big Money and Davos want to bend to the west’s corrupt values? Imagine the arrogance it takes to decide to destroy a 1000 year old culture. And one that is nuclear-armed. And to do it with the bodies of Ukrainians.
They will spend eternity experiencing the pain of those families they ruined in service of their vanity. The sooner we get rid of them, the better.

Oh my God. We must be related somehow... I was summarizing paragraph 3 in my mind and then you did in 4.
I went downrange in 'Iraq 1' and this entire piece summarizes the last 35 years very well! God bless you, dear. Wow. My brother is serving his 35th year right now in Africa. His planes need parts that are going elsewhere.
If anyone thinks that myself or my children are going to fight for the 'Yalies' that have doubled their wealth over shams like the 2020 flu, removed an elected president who was simply awesome, and serves on the World Economic Forum. Think again. They fear us and they should.
I read this with the same attentiveness I read all your work. It's got so many layers and is such a feat of both structure and "color." So good. So true. I am posting it at my substack, right now. It's very interesting that you can tell its about these people up close. Samantha Power was at a party at my father's home, a party a friends initiated, in 2006. It was my own party, yet I literally hid in the back room that used to be my room as a child. The men had cashmere coats, and were sort of humming inaudibly like engines, exuding something related to power hunger I suppose. We have to figure out what this is.
