Absurdistan has been since its beginning (teeth-gritted sometimes) optimistic. I knew the globalist hell hole system could not stand. After 20 years in the mega-cities, I came back to the country, and saw it written plain.
The ruination of the middle and working classes was and is written on their faces. You - or rather I - can see the grinding, the fear, the worry, the work forced through sickness and pain, the vaccine injuries, the poisoned food, the failures over and over to get a grip, to make something good. For decades, normals have been limited and limited again by globalist leaders who have stolen their futures, broken their children to despair, and made their lives brutal and far too often, desperate.
When St. John was made a Viscount, his father said to him, “I have always thought you’d end by being hanged, but now that you are a peer, I expect you to be beheaded.”
It infuriates me. All this abundance around us, and we live like frightened serfs, our world filled with manufactured fear and our “entertainment” 90% horror. The cities local to me have been filled with cartel and Triads profiting off our pain. Not only our food, but our medicine is poison. Our governments work to make fewer of us; five percent of us elect to kill ourselves every year.
‘It’s artificial. It’s created’, I said to myself. It has to be. To me here, where my paternal great grandparents pioneered, it’s like living in a netherworld. Just one breath away, staggering prosperity, invention, wealth, ten million people living in this basin of mind-blowing beauty, building families and businesses and communities, inventing solutions - the light of the freaking world.
What the hell is stopping that?
Now our government is discussing taking our savings. “Savings are selfish”, says the EU’s stone cold camp commandant, Ursula Von de Leyen - a woman whose history is that of repeated genocidal intent. “We are going to have to confiscate the wealth of the boomers,” says our Canadian elites. “They don’t need all that equity they have piled up. We do.”
The following is the least complicated way I can describe this; it is how the European banks, established their rule in the U.S. and Canada:
Our current state is the inevitable result of letting central bankers run our world. The suppression of the middle and working classes is down to them. It is their rule. Break them until they can still work for us, but don’t let them create wealth and get ideas above their station.
If you have ever spent much time around the aristocracy, you would know they loathe us. They think we are lesser. They think we live to serve them. They think we are garbage people to be bought and sold. Late at night in their palaces, they are honest and they are vile.
This is the established philosophy of the Venetian-Dutch Bankers who emerged during the Dark Ages, who plundered Europe, then India and the East. In the 1690’s they moved to England where Sir Horace Walpole and Isaac Newton created the Bank of England. When William and Mary came to town to rule as Protestant royalty, William cemented the extractive philosophy of the Venetians and the Dutch.
We know this now. It’s not in the history books, because it was so evil and still….dominant. Still is.
The primary goal of the new Bank of England, established by Locke and Newton in Britain, was to suppress the financial well-being of the middle and working classes in order to control them, to fill their entertainment with garbage that encouraged their lowest impulses, rank sexuality, endless crime, vulgarity and always always violence. Finally, they suppressed science.
England’s so-called Glorious Revolution of 1688 had unfortunately imported from Holland the Venetian-Dutch model of science suppression, and the Whig Party was only too happy to implement it. What the oligarchs of imperial Venice had learned—and, at a later point, they had taught their Dutch allies—was that the easiest way to control a society was to enforce economic backwardness. And, over the centuries, they had learned that the preferred methods of such enforcement did not involve burning scientists at the stake—which only had a temporary effect and inevitably led to resistance. And so they perfected methods of indirectly suppressing a population’s penchant for scientific and technological progress altogether. The trick was to drain such inclinations from the popular mind so they never knew what they were missing. The Venetian method was based on: 1) creating stables of controlled “researchers” who would demoralize the population by promulgating pessimistic ideologies, and 2) motivating governments to issue fraudulent patents with multi-decade extensions in order to kill the development of targeted technologies. This was precisely what was behind the Whig’s Parliament Act of 1698 that granted a 35-year patent for a so-called “new invention for raising of water…by the impellent force of fire”. The patented technology was called, hypocritically,“The Miner’s Friend”.

The Miner’s Friend worked, sortof, but it suppressed the real invention which would have created much more wealth.
Today, across America, the banks and hedge funds are trying to build carbon capture outfits with billions of OUR MONEY. First of all, carbon is not a problem and trying to “bury” it is dangerous. Climate change was invented entirely to break our prosperity. Further, today, pretty much everyone not bought and paid for by our elites, knows or suspects our government secrets inventions that would liberate us all.
That’s coming anyway. The suppression is about to break.
The Pursuit of Happiness Transformed the World
Last week I fell into one of Promethean Action’s Saturday classes, this one about the invention of the phrase “the Pursuit of Happiness”, which was originated by the German philosopher Leibniz, popularized by St. John Bolingbroke, and inserted into the Declaration by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was a fan of Bolingbroke’s writing - which are so opaque, I can’t read - but Jefferson used to copy his sentences in order to learn.
I am a descendant of Bolingbroke, collateral, several times over, as his brothers, cousins began pioneering in America in 1699. So my vanity, (or whatever) propelled me into these lectures and the accompanying book, and astonishing it was.
My obsession with my pioneer, Puritan and Revolutionary ancestors began with my father giving me the memoir of my great-great grandmother, Charlotte St. John, who, in 1850, declared at the age of 20, that marriage was slavery and set off to see the world. She travelled all the way to the Ohio frontier, playing her melodeon in church to earn her supper. Charlotte’s memoir led me into a strange and fascinating world which has very little to do with the history we are taught. This is not a scholarly pursuit or one from which I intend to profit, but a kindof wondrous hobby where I wander in the past and that past becomes deeply personal. For instance, last month I discovered a cousin’s 57-year-long diary. Her husband and brothers built the pews for Jonathan Edwards’ church where the First Great Awakening began.
That Awakening spurred the Revolution. The Second, the Civil War and the Third, the Social Gospel. We are in another, right now. Next: universal prosperity and a reclamation of Anglo-American culture, still the sanest the world has ever built.
Bolingbroke was fighting the same people we are fighting now.
Bolingbroke fought the central bankers. He was stripped of his property, his title, and he fled to France ahead of a charge of treason. If he had not escaped, he would have been assassinated. He had been Secretary of State and Advisor to both Queen Anne and George 1, who were against the Venetian-Dutch system.
He was against bankers’ wars.
The Venetians had plundered Europe with their wars, and the Dutch too saw war as their fastest easiest method of profit, because they played both sides. Bolingbroke tried to free Britain from a “ruinous and bloody war” and for that had to be killed.
The intellectual ferment then was just as furious as it is now. The name calling, the death threats. the assassinations, the excising from society, the crap that passed for entertainment and music - which was engineered to depress - and the lack of any hope. John Locke and property was the “inspired” thinking of the elites, the grim acquisition of stuff the way forward. The job of the King and Parliament. This is still the philosophy of RINOs, the worst of the Republicans, our digital elites, who plan to stack and track us, and certainly the plan of the WEF/UN bankers like Carney.
The opposition, which included Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope, thought this.
On Leibniz words, Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, and dozens of other luminaries began to build an opposition. In fact, Bolingbroke was the inventor of the idea of the Loyal Opposition. During his exile, Bolingbroke spent 12 years discussing these ideas in the salons of Paris, frequented by members of the Stuart family, who had married into various European “Royal” families. He wrote, thought, fought and eventually was allowed back into England, given back his houses and title, as long as he never participated in politics again. He wrote, but under a pseudonym.
What was the conflict, the nub of the matter?
This.
God wanted humans, all humans to be happy. Happiness was the highest good, the one goal any King or Parliament must pursue. Not ‘property’. Happiness. Otherwise? Not legitimate.
In 1738, Bolingbroke, a pamphleteer if there ever was one, wrote The Idea of a Patriot King. It was wildly popular in the Colonies. It stated that if the King did not work for the people, he was illegitimate.
First they - the colonists - demanded that the King, George III, listen to their complaints. And then when that ship sailed, the chant in the taverns for a decade was:
“A Patriot King or none.”
Leibniz held that the greatest human happiness had been identified by St. Paul:
Meanwhile these three remain: faith, hope, and charity; and the greatest of these is charity
Hodgkiss, above, posits that by the word “charity” or “love” was meant agape or caritas, which is the love of mankind. To the aristocrats fighting the grim bankers of the early 18th century, the love of mankind - the feeling of agape, or caritas, was the highest form of happiness.
I know it’s a stretch, but try. We have been so propagandized by the dictum that we are selfish creatures above all. I don’t think so, and that is not what Leibniz, Bolingbroke and the founders - all of them - recognized.
The care for others led to the most happiness.
If you pursue ‘property’ above all, you are not pursuing happiness. Property is key, it is the base of the triangle, of prosperity, but that extended led to human prosperity. Not wealth confiscation, but creation in connection with the physical universe leading to more creation.
In the first draft of the Declaration, Jefferson etc., wrote “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and Property.”
Only three states signed onto the Declaration and Jefferson was sent back for another draft. After some faffing about, he substituted ‘the pursuit of happiness’, and they all signed on.
For the past three hundred years, the entire world has turned towards that phrase like flowers to the sun. That phrase has inspired the massive creativity of the American Republic, the hatred and envy of other countries, the migrant invasions, the CCP and their funded pet socialist revolutionaries who want to take it down and plunder the spoils.
Caritas means unconditional Christian love and compassion in action (agape). That and only that was the base at the creation of all the magnificent achievements of the American republic. Yes, they wanted to make money, but mostly they wanted to extend benefits to everyone within reach and beyond.
That is the root of optimism in action. Furious, willful, sometimes irrational optimism leading to creativity and building.
Which was certainly the ethic and teaching spirit motivating every adult I grew up among, and was so in the 400 years they had been in the U.S. and Canada. And by the way, just as an aside, the women? Fierce as they come, the idea of those 20 generations as submissive trad wives makes me howl with laughter. No one has ever scared me as much as those old dolls. The women of early America were anything but weak, and feminism is one of the worst lies by which we are afflicted.
Optimism is the thing that the British establishment worked to destroy, but according to Hodgkiss, once America fought itself free, the whole world set itself on the path.
The right of a person to his life was an obvious base line. The right to liberty was an age-old cry. The right to hold property had long been codified at various times and in various places. But the right to pursue happiness—explicitly conceived of as a mandate handed down from God to government—was a new and complex idea, one which had a unique pathway into the American mind.

Every authoritarian government suppresses human creativity. Creative ideas create more creative ideas when they encounter the physical realities of life. And that spurs every greater creativity.
The Trump team has unleashed that creativity across the U.S., with their revitalized industrial capacity, with the $20 trillion in investments, every region will begin to soar. We will experience “the anarchy of production”. Every sector will rise with all the suppressed energy of three generations and it will not be controllable.
Our media is so stupid and narrow-minded, they cannot even see this.
We have a forty trillion dollar deficit, where our energy, our creativity in action has been stifled, and the result is our debt, the hopelessness of the young and the rise of “Democratic” Socialism, the most demonic political party that ever lived. One that kills between 15 and 20% of its people in order to survive. Societies which compel behaviour (including speech) are not creative and must kill to survive.
One of the choke points is the upcoming election. If the Democrats win, we’ll be back to the system extracting profits by reducing living standards. Winning the House and Senate, will cement a Trump boom that will last fifty years, and may, could, become permanent.
One is entropic. The other will light up the stars.
Thanks to all the new paid subscribers and thank you for your encouraging comments. My new resolution is to respond more and to support and promote Absudistan more, I am a bit shy, it is against my ultra-wasp conditioning to put myself forward, it’s hard. But I’m so grateful for your support, truly.
Absurdistan called the German election three years ago, and has a magnificent un-beaten and unparalleled record in calling elections and social movements. Next France, and Britain will throw out the fools and miscreants. Trump’s team has caught the theft of $1.7 trillion of their federal budget and there are trillions more thefts to discover in the states and mega-cities. The entire world is turning towards common sense, pragmatic re-establishment of our industrial base, turning over the entirely corrupt and decadent green movement, nonsensical climate change fear and seizing the future. Young men and women are reclaiming the culture, and you read it here first.
I do not paywall, so it’s voluntary to pay me and so many of you do, I am very very grateful, especially since the entire world is now on Substack, after calling us Nazis for three year. I charge not very much compared to others, because you must have a lot of other subscriptions, I know I do. Please subscribe, despite my worry above, the next ten years are going to be transformative and in a very good way. We are going to get them and punish them and it will be spectacular.
