Introduction: The Remaking of the World Order

The events in Ukraine, ‘the ‘drowning man who is drowning his rescuer together with him’, (1) over the last nineteen months can be described as the Last Crusade of the West. The Russian Federation has been annihilating the Ukrainian and mercenary-manned proxy armies and equipment of NATO on its blasted steppes. This huge tragedy with over 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers dead is only one of the historic shifts that are taking place in the world. In some ways, indeed, what is happening between Russia and NATO’s Ukraine is relatively minor. It is not just the dissolution of the old, Soviet-designed Ukraine and the old NATO, but it is symptomatic of much more. Far more events have been going on in the rest of the world, all over the planet. What are they and why is this historic, indeed, millennial, shift happening now?

The settlement made after the Nazi-provoked Second World War by a victorious USA and an even more victorious USSR is over. The red star Soviet Empire, given birth to by British-orchestrated regime change in February 1917, and the white star American Empire, given birth to by the Truman Doctrine in March 1947, lasted in both cases for three generations. The USSR ended in December 1991 and the USA ended in February 2022, with the Special Military Operation in the Ukraine to free the Russian east and south of the Soviet Ukraine (Russian until 1922) from NATO. As time has expired on the American Empire, which had no further reason to exist once the Cold War had ended in 1991, we see the clear historic shift. The whole World Order is being remade. The Age of Empires is over as old institutions collapse one by one.

Symptoms Outside the West

The destruction wrought by the American-orchestrated Arab Spring that began in 2010 has ended in Syria. Thanks to Russian military intervention and the Syrian ceasefire of 2020, most of the country is now back in Syrian hands after the defeat of CIA-financed and trained Islamists. President Assad, of whom it was said twelve years ago that he had ‘only two weeks to go’, is in China talking about reconstruction and investment. Once pro-US Turkey is considering leaving NATO and joining BRICS. There remain only some Americans in the north of Syria who are still stealing Syrian oil. In the nearby Caucasus, the US puppet Armenia has lost its fight against Azerbaijan, which has come round to the Russian point of view. Armenia is now isolated, without any hope of help from the US or its lapdogs in the EU. Its only hope is for its people to overthrow its puppet-leader and then start co-operating with its neighbours.

After 150 years of being ruthlessly exploited, Africa is throwing out colonial France and the US. Some members of the African Union have threatened to leave the American pawn that is called the UN. Latin America, notably Brazil and Columbia, are rejecting the US. India has told the Canadian US lapdog to stop interfering. In this way, US plans to disrupt relations between India and China, so undermining BRICS, have backfired. Meanwhile, BRICS + forges ahead. On 1 January it will have eleven members from four continents and its next summit will be in the Russian Federation. The main players in the Middle East, Chinese-reconciled Saudi Arabia and Iran, are two of the new BRICS members. Both are oil-rich and BRICS +, with pro-Russian Venezuela, will control most of the world’s oil. And BRICS +, together with allies like Indonesia, is gradually ending the dollar, how the US dominated the world for three generations.

Symptoms in Europe

This leaves Europe, whose leaders appear to have chosen its self-imposed thirdworldisation, as retribution for unatoned for sins. The US-selected oligarchic elite of the impoverished Disunited Kingdom, with its creaking infrastructure, similar to that in Russia in the 1990s, has chosen to give tens of billions of pounds to crazy and failed US neocon projects abroad, in Afghanistan, Iraq and now the Ukraine. As a result, its chronically underfunded and strike-ridden health and education systems are collapsing, some buildings literally collapsing from cheap concrete, the bottom 10% eat at foodbanks, many young people live with their parents as they cannot afford their own homes, its cities and utility companies bankrupt, its airports in chaos, railways at best comically inefficient, its roads jammed up and potholed, and its tiny armed forces resembling those of a banana republic.

Rothschild-controlled and riot-bound France is being humiliated and thrown out of Africa, which according to one former French President will also reduce it to third world status («Sans l’Afrique, la France descendra au rang de puissance du tiers monde» Jacques Chirac, 2008). As for the former powerhouse of Germany, it is in recession, having chosen de-industrialisation, greatly helped by its greens and, above all, by the US destruction of vital gas pipelines from Russia. And the anti-German German political elite has silently accepted or else openly applauded its economic asassination by the USA. As for the rest of the EU, it is cruelly split between east and west, as well as north and south, as Hungary, Croatia, migrant-paralysed Italy, betrayed Poland and others like Slovakia demonstrate in the east and south and Scandinavia and Benelux show in the west and north.

Symptoms in the USA

In the oligarch-controlled Uniparty Disunited States of America, inequality has plumbed new extremes. Homelessness, partly the result of widespread drug-addiction and deindustrialisation, has become even more common. True, US Big Pharma, the finance ‘industry’ and outsourcing businessmen have become very rich as a result, but it is not the case of those laid off by closed factories, who cannot afford healthcare or even homes. Here too we see thirdworldisation on a mass scale, not only in once great cities like Los Angeles, Detroit and Portland, now in some parts tented for the new huddled masses of the American Nightmare, but also in deprived and drug-overdosed rural areas like the Appalachians.

Perhaps the other great problem here is immigration. This was one thing between 1825 and 1975, when a huge and fast-developing country could rapidly absorb, assimilate and employ Europe’s teeming millions of poor, whom indeed it demanded and welcomed, as the French Statue of Liberty proclaimed (2). But today where do those tens of millions go, where do they live and where do they work? With the US border open to Latin America’s teeming poor, created by the US’s own regime-changes in Latin America, where politicians who desired social justice were and are routinely replaced or assassinated by CIA-promoted Fascist thugs and gangsters, this is nemesis. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.

Conclusion: The World Order Remade

So if the world order is being remade, what will the future look like? First of all, there will be no imaginary ‘exceptional countries’ like the USA or, for that matter, France, with its equally self-flattering ‘l’exception francaise’. All will be on the same level, for we are the midwives at the rebirth of the multipolar world, the world that existed a millennium ago, before ‘the West’ took on the demonic idea that it was exceptional. Then it proclaimed that it had the right to dominate the whole world, implementing its arrogance with ‘crusades’, starting officially in 1095, though in fact they started before that, and ending officially with Pope George Bush’s ‘Crusade’ against Iraq in 2003, though the attack on Russia today is in reality Pope Joseph Biden’s Crusade, indeed, this is the Last Crusade of the West (3).

The alphabet soup of old institutions that my generation has grown up with are gone or else will inevitably go: the USSR, the EU, NATO, ASEAN, the OECD, the IMF, the WTF, the G7, AUKUS, the UN, the UK, perhaps the USA too. We are heading towards a Global Alliance of Sovereign Peoples, a G.A.S.P. that is the last gasp, because the alternative is neocon-inspired nuclear Wasteland that even T. S. Eliot could never have dreamed of. This is the future present, the future multipolar world of Russia, China, India, Africa, Latin America, Oceania and all the others, the Alliance of the seven billion, with which the remaining one billion on their islands and European peninsula will be obliged to join and co-operate as equals, unless they really do want to commit suicide. The old millennium is over. Forward to the Future!
