# Tall Poppies Model of Governance vs. Western ‘Societalcide’

I wrote in [a comment](https://steemit.com/societalcide/@anonymint/q3c2hg) on my prior blog [Societalcide Decadence in Western TV Commercials](https://steemit.com/societalcide/@anonymint/societalcide-decadence-in-western-tv-commercials):

Chinese President Xi [affirmed this](https://youtu.be/YPxmBxON1l8?t=491) _“[China] does not cause trouble for you”_ if you don’t challenge the (“internal affairs” of the) Communist Party.

The [life story of](https://youtu.be/YPxmBxON1l8?t=51) the rise Chinese ruler Xi Jinping is fascinating. He’s a survivalist who [emphatically believes that](https://youtu.be/YPxmBxON1l8?t=212) the order of the centralized power of the Communist Party is superior to the chaos of a power vacuum, including [revolution turmoil that](https://youtu.be/YPxmBxON1l8?t=113) engulfed China and the power vacuum of democracy which is engulfing the West. Actually I can relate given my life experience to Xi’s pragmatism and survivalist mentality. Xi is a reactionary phenomenon to the failure of his father’s generation. Fascinating indeed.

He [cultivates](https://youtu.be/YPxmBxON1l8?t=307) an image of anti-corruption. And leverages corruption violations (i.e. the weaknesses of others) to snare his political rivals who threaten to divide the Communist Party. Which has enabled him [to consolidate power](https://youtu.be/YPxmBxON1l8?t=525) to such a degree that he has [abolished](https://youtu.be/YPxmBxON1l8?t=644) Constitutional term limits allowing him to possibly rule for life and rival [the influence of](https://youtu.be/YPxmBxON1l8?t=702) the originator of the Communist Party Mao. In short, Xi is fulfilling the destiny of China and its Communist Party system to capture the power vacuums (characterized by Dr. Jacques [as a “governance deficit”](https://youtu.be/lONmF7Gw6NA?t=1206)) in its region left wide open by West.

# China is an Enduring Empire, Never a Nation-state

The video linked below discusses that the mainline political heritage and priority of Chinese is the maintenance of civilization at any cost (including at the cost of valuing the overly inflated, self-important individual life) because China is an extremely diverse, pluralistic agglomeration of cultures ruled by the Hans who captured this power vacuum. China is culturally about pragmatic survival of an overpopulated region wherein humans were worth-less than farm animals. As the Western Roman Empire fragmented into nation-states, China went the opposite direction painfully holding its empire together. In short, Western ideology ~~is~~[was] Christianity as Jesus said, _“walk alone with nothing from town-to-town.”_ Whereas, the diametrically opposed Chinese ideology is about pragmatically maintaining empire at any costs, including 100 millions megadeath and subjugation of individual freedoms.

The video linked below also points out that China can’t run an empire by micromanaging every facet of society everywhere. China and its external hegemony will be run more like the Roman Empire, wherein vassal States will run most of their own affairs except for major issues that challenge Communist Party hegemony. IOW, my interpretation is the Chinese abhor the prospect of returning to a life wherein [Chinese were in the recent past worth-less than farm animals](https://steemit.com/philosophy/@anonymint/geographical-cultural-ethos-science-is-dead-part-2) and thus civilization is the paramount priority. This is also why Chinese hate brown skin, because it associates with farm work. Chinese desire stability and reproduction (i.e. the family) much more than individual excellence. Chinese don’t want to return the turbulent revolutionary times and such atrocities as the **[Seven Kill Stele](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Xianzhong#Devastation_of_Sichuan)**.

Thus no revered Chinese [scientists](http://www.chinawhisper.com/10-great-ancient-chinese-scientists/) or [painters](https://learnodo-newtonic.com/famous-chinese-artists-and-paintings) comparable to the West’s Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci nor Galileo. Chinese culture simply doesn’t value individual achievement that much outside the revered emperors. Whereas, the laundry list of emperors in the Roman Empire are rarely notable outside of Caesar (who was a revolutionary restorationist) and Constantinople (who captured the power vacuum by embracing and corrupting Christianity).

Chinese ostensibly view the State as the patriarch of the family/civilization (takes care of them by benevolent rule); whereas, Westerners view the State with great caution and suspicion which is captured in the fundamental tenets of the Bible, e.g. `1 Samuel 8` and Jesus’ _“Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.”_

### Corruption of Christianity

In **`1 Samuel 8`** the Lord warns humanity what will happen to them if they w(h)or(e)ship the Great Harlot of government and authority. This is also explained from a non-Biblical perspective in [**THE MOST DANGEROUS SUPERSTITION**](https://www.mensenrechten.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/the-most-dangerous-superstition-larken-rose-20111.pdf) by Larken Rose. Freewill is a fundamental Biblical tenet for [without the friction that it is, physics knows we couldn’t exist](https://steemit.com/multiverse/@anonymint/information-is-the-fundamental-matter-of-existence-the-multiverse-is-partially-observable) to appreciate our creator. I believed [Paul was the false prophet predicted by Jesus and has corrupted the word of the Bible with Romans](https://jesuswordsonly.com/recommendedreading/175-pauls-contradictions-of-jesus.html) luring us into w(h)or(e)ship idolization of authority along with snowflake abrogation of personal responsibility and self-discipline. That Paul wants us to believe we can be saved just because of a feeling or thoughts, without [correct actions and compliance with the law](https://jesuswordsonly.com/books/commands-of-jesus.html). But I’ve learned today that the Catholic church probably rewrote Paul’s letters:

> The author sides by his own presuppositions and the Church claims and disregards the testimony of our rabbis who claim to have seen them with their own eyes. The Catholics have rewritten Paul’s letters to state that the Torah is no longer in effect. How do we know this? Because in **`Acts 21: 17-26` Paul is accused of teaching this very thing yet he denies teaching such**. — [Comment (6) Mati, December 17, 2013 7:06 AM : The Vatican has nothing to hide?](https://www.aish.com/jw/s/The-Vatican-and-the-Temple-Vessels.html#replyFormPlaceholder-160881371)

The West by rejecting Christianity has rejected the core sober asceticism of our civilization which held us together. Because without asceticism, the Western individualism becomes overly inflated, self-important societalcide. IOW, the West was great when we contained our individualism on sober activities and tireless focus on our vocations, e.g. the decentralized, road-networked, benevolent fiefdoms [manorialism system](https://steemit.com/philosophy/@anonymint/geographical-cultural-ethos-science-is-dead-part-2) that brought us out of the 600 year Dark Age into the glorious Renaissance. As Westerners become affluent they lose Christianity, asceticism, self-discipline, and demand a Nanny State.

Circumstantial evidence that end times are coming closer include:

> ### Pope Pius XII in League with the Nazis?
> David Kertzer, a historian from Brown University, was able to examine documents from the reign of Pope Pius XI (1922 - 1939). He concluded that the pope “made deals with Mussolini to protect the Church’s interest in exchange for silence on state-sponsored anti-Semitism, a conclusion at odds with the Church’s account” (O’Loughlin, 2014). Groups are pressuring Pope Francis to make fully available the contents relating to Pope Pius XII (1939 - 1958) in order that the world may finally know for certain the man’s involvement with the Nazis. Some say that he supported Hitler, either in a manner similar to the Church’s support of Mussolini or perhaps even more substantially — [What Really Lies Hidden in the Vatican Secret Archives?](https://www.ancient-origins.net/artifacts-ancient-writings/what-really-lies-hidden-vatican-secret-archives-007468)

> **`Pope Francis announced on 4 March 2019 that materials relating to Pope Pius XII will be opened on 2 March 2020.`** Francis said that Pius’s legacy had been “debated and even criticized (one might say with some prejudice or exaggeration),” that “The Church is not afraid of history,” and that he anticipated “appropriate criticism.”<sup>[22]</sup> In addition to assessing Pius’s response to the Holocaust, the archives of the papacy of Pope Pius XII should point to much broader shift in global Christianity from Europe to the global South.<sup>[23]</sup> Since 2006, members of the archives department have been organising **`the estimated 16 million pages of documents`**, to get them ready for viewing by researchers.<sup>[24]</sup> — [Wikipedia: Vatican Apostolic Archive : Access in the modern era](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_Apostolic_Archive#Access_in_the_modern_era)

> The primary thesis of this book is that the Vatican was instrumental in developing and maintaining escape routes out of Europe for known and suspected Nazi war criminals during and after WWII. This was done primarily by senior Vatican officials with the full knowledge of Pope Pius XII and senior Vatican advisor Giovanni Montini, later Pope Paul VI. War criminals were smuggled out under the auspices of the otherwise legitimate refugee relocation programs, with falsified International Red Cross documentation. This was done in order to have a ready made anti-Communist force as the Cold War became more and more of a reality. — [Goodreads : Sara Sharick’s Reviews > Unholy Trinity: The Vatican, The Nazis, and The Swiss Banks](https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/914034904?book_show_action=true&from_review_page=1)

> Former Italian Minister Giulio Andreotti defended the validity of Tornielli’s thesis last week when he addressed the meeting of the Catholic movement Communion and Liberation. The meeting ended Saturday in this northern coastal city.
>
> Andreotti supported Pius XII and rejected the criticisms leveled against the Pontiff at the end of World War II, accusing him of passivity in face of the Holocaust.
>
> “The hostility against Pope Pacelli was not due to his weakness against Nazism, but to his rejection of Communism,” Andreotti said. — [Hitler's Plan to Arrest Pius XII and Destroy the Vatican](http://home.olemiss.edu/~rrychlak/plan-destroy-vatican/outsideframe.htm)

>  In his meticulously researched and comprehensive 1967 book, Three Popes and the Jews, the Israeli historian and diplomat Pinchas Lapide, who had served as the Israeli Counsel General in Milan, and had spoken with many Italian Jewish Holocaust survivors who owed their life to Pius, provided the empirical basis for their gratitude, concluding that Pius XII “was instrumental in saving at least 700,000, but probably as many as 860,000 Jews from certain death at Nazi hands.”  To this day, the Lapide volume remains the definitive work, by a Jewish scholar, on the subject. 
>
> The campaign of vilification against Pope Pius can be traced to the debut in Berlin in February 1963 of a play, by a young, Protestant, left-wing West German writer and playwright, Rolf Hochhuth.  The Deputy, in which Hochhuth depicts Pacelli as a Nazi collaborator, guilty of moral cowardice and "silence" in the face of the Nazi onslaught, is a scathing indictment of Pope Pius XII's alleged indifferences to the plight of European Jewry during the Holocaust.  — [A Righteous Gentile: Pope Pius XII and the Jews](https://www.catholiceducation.org/en/controversy/common-misconceptions/a-righteous-gentile-pope-pius-xii-and-the-jews.html)

> This association of Jewishness with Bolshevism confirms that Pacelli […] nourished a suspicion of and contempt for the Jews for political reasons […] repeated references to the Jewishness of these individuals, along with the catalogue of stereotypical epithets deploring their physical and moral repulsiveness, betray a scorn and revulsion consistent with anti-Semitism.
>
> […]
>
> Pacelli spent 13 years in Germany attempting to rewrite the state concordats […] in favor of the power of the Holy See and routinely employing diplomatic blackmail […] Pacelli repeatedly traded promises of Vatican support for German control of disputed regions […] for […] terms advantageous to the Vatican in concordats.
>
> […]
>
> Kaas was [for] a Reich Concordat, seeing a parallel between papal absolutism and the Führerprinzip, the Fascist leadership principle. His views coincided perfectly with Pacelli’s on church-state politics, and their aspirations for centralized papal power were identical. Kaas’s adulation of Pacelli […] became a crucial element in the betrayal of Catholic democratic politics in Germany.
>
> […]
>
> A precondition […] involved the destruction of the parliamentary Catholic Italian Popular Party. Pius XI disliked political Catholicism because he could not control it […] Catholic party politics brought democracy into the church by the back door […] the demise of the Popular Party was the wholesale drift of Catholics into the Fascist Party and the collapse of democracy in Italy. Pius XI and […] Pacelli, were determined that no accommodation be reached with Communists […]—this was the time of persecution of the church in Russia, Mexico, and later Spain—but totalitarian movements and regimes of the right were a different matter. — [Hitler’s Pope](https://www.vanityfair.com/style/1999/10/pope-pius-xii-199910)

Goldman Sachs [projections](https://youtu.be/imhUmLtlZpw?t=22) affirm Armstrong’s prediction of a shift of the economic center of the world from West to East:

<center>[![](https://i.imgur.com/qXFktQ8.png)<br/>Understanding the rise of China](https://youtu.be/imhUmLtlZpw?t=22)</center>

The projections above were [made before](https://youtu.be/imhUmLtlZpw?t=48) the 2008 western financial crisis thus probably **_overstate_** the future for the United States, because they (and even any recently revised estimates) presumably don’t account for my expectation for the global monetary reset away from the dollar to Bitcoin as the international reserve unit. And the significant decline in the U.S.A. (and the West) as interest rates start rising in 2021. And the resulting leftistard politics that will dominate the national elections in the U.S.A. by no later than `2036`, which will open the floodgates on migration from Latin America, thus causing a leveling of the GDP of the U.S.A. compared to other major Latin American countries such as Mexico. In short, the above projections don’t likely account for the `1857.6` year flood that I explained in this blog. From the interest rate chart, this might even be a `6 × 1857.6 = 11,146` year flood, leading to a 600+ year Dark Age for the West. Xi Jinping is correct that his destiny is to lead China’s role in this flood which has opened a power vacuum for China and his Communist Party to capture.

My guess is the USA ’s GDP by 2050 will be at most **twice** of which ever country is next after India, such as perhaps Brazil. See below for a chart of revised estimates expressed as a percentage of global GDP.

Dr. Martin Jacques’ recent follow-ups:

<center>[![](https://i.imgur.com/cZ7cpki.png)<br/><br/>![](https://i.imgur.com/y8edfjW.png)<br/><br/>![](https://i.imgur.com/EHZkxqK.png)<br/><sup>Dr. Martin Jacques - Big Picture: China's Belt & Road Initiative will change the world as we know it</sup>](https://youtu.be/lONmF7Gw6NA)</center>

**Note that the above chart is for `2030`. By `2050`, I expect the U.S.A. to be `~10%` and EU to be `~5%` of global GDP.** By `2095`, I expect the U.S.A. to be less than `5%` of global GDP with separation movements tearing the U.S.A. into chaotic shreds with unclear legality and organization nightmares, but the EU _might_ bottom and start to recover (if it doesn’t collapse into a Dark Age) albeit perhaps very slowly as expressed in nominal terms.

Dr. Jacques’ [very incisive point](https://youtu.be/lONmF7Gw6NA?t=1401) is that **`this is all about economic development`**. IOW, if by underhanded means China obtains military bases in various countries, if this brings stability that fosters economic development, then it’s analogous to a father figure patriarchy stewarding the family. So if a _centralized_ cryptocurrency can bring more economic development than a hypothetically _decentralized_ one, the former will win or at least be more widely used. Interestingly Dr. Jacques pointed out that the Chinese State isn’t that large but it’s extremely effective. That’s the efficiency of patriarchal order versus the chaos of the power vacuum of democracy which sells ever expanding promises to buy votes.

<center>[![](https://i.imgur.com/J1prDRB.png)<br/>Author: Forget America, PHILIPPINES's future bound with China](https://youtu.be/Vc56bWY7oRg)</center>

My abstract mind is drawn to Jacques’ centrifugal and centripetal forces point. Centrifugal force requires constant acceleration. Decelerating causes the rotating object to collapse towards the center. China’s centralization is succeeding because globalization is decelerating, although nominally growth is larger. IOW, Western ideology thrives and drives the new “small things grow faster” paradigms. China swallowed the end of the Industrial Age completing globalization for backward  large population laggards.

Dr. Jacques [points out](https://youtu.be/Vc56bWY7oRg?t=840) that China has never run a maritime colony. Makes sense because as I had explained in my two-part blog series [Geographical Cultural Ethos → science is dead](https://steemit.com/philosophy/@anonymint/geographical-cultural-ethos-science-is-dead), **`unlike the Vikings, Brits, etc., China didn’t originate from Eurasian Steppe nomads who were pirates or who were exposed to constant invasion`**.

We could view “righteous” evangelizing Christianity (i.e. for saving souls and educating barbarians about Jesus) [as the excuse the West used for crusades, invasion and colonization](https://youtu.be/Vc56bWY7oRg?t=1043).

Dr. Jacques [goes direct to the point](https://youtu.be/Vc56bWY7oRg?t=1051) about the implications on the Philippines, **`“forget about America in this region, America is in rapid decline.”`** So the problem for Duterte is that the Philippines is very Americanized, but must change rapidly. Oh crap, they may increasingly not want us having any influence over here.

Philippines is the odd-ball most Westernized, Christianized country in ASEAN. Hmm. Precisely why I preferred it.

Re-read my blog [Trump Assassinated in 2022? Civil War by 2026?](https://steemit.com/politics/@anonymint/trump-assassinated-in-2022-civil-war-by-2026). The only way to avoid The Thucydides Trap is to anoint Trump as dictator-in-chief for life. Trump doesn’t want war. He respects Chinese patriarchy and their different system.

But **`Trump is being set up to fail`**. Rudy Giuliani is preparing to drop a bomb on the old establishment in the Democratic party, which will gut the party so the radical Green Movement leftistards can take over:

The evisceration of the center-left and radicalization of the politics is about to escalate as Jim (aka James A. Donald) blogged in [Creeping coup](https://blog.jim.com/war/creeping-coup/):

> If, in the Durham report, the Trump administration comes to officially know what everyone has known since 2012, that the deep state has been acting illegally, then it is war between the deep state and the Trump administration.
>
> What is holding up the Durham report? Everyone knows what will be in it if it is not yet another cover up. I hope that what is holding it up is the same thing as is holding up Pelosi sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate. Trump is likely sounding out the praetorians and getting them in place. Everyone is getting ready for what happens when arresting members of the elite over political differences escalates a lot further than it has already escalated.

The first effect will be to feed the overconfidence, gloating and high-pride of the alt-right, because they’ll presume they’ve eviscerated the Demo(n)crats, especially with the strong dollar vortex sending international capital flows stampeding into U.S. stock markets. But then wallop comes the assassination of Trump (or some other means of removing him from office) and the peaking of the dollar hegemony, along with double-digit interest rates. This perfect storm will have Westerners stunned akin to deer-in-the-headlights.

Jim is (possibly intentionally?) blinded to the Big Picture because (I know from my [prior debates with him](https://steemit.com/politics/@anonymint/succinct-absolute-truth-about-9-11-and-las-vegas-massacre) on his blog that) he wants to believe that it’s only the leftistards in cahoots with the Deep State that ails Western civilization. This is why he also believes that any blame for 9/11 (other than the Muslims he ludicrously thinks actually perpetrated 9/11) can only be attributed to his left singularity theory. Israel’s Mossad [was evidently involved in](https://steemit.com/politics/@anonymint/israel-s-mossad-did-9-11) the perpetration of 9/11 and the truth about 9/11 is available to anyone who bothers to look closely at a detailed analysis of the evidence as I explained in my blogs [Debunking Mark Roberts’ 9/11 Disinformation Tactics](https://steemit.com/info-wars/@anonymint/debunking-mark-roberts-9-11-disinformation-tactics), [Plane Flyover; Explosives Planted Inside The Pentagon](https://steemit.com/info-wars/@anonymint/plane-flyover-explosives-planted-inside-the-pentagon),  [Disembarkment of the 9/11 Passengers](https://steemit.com/info-wars/@anonymint/disembarkment-of-the-9-11-passengers) and [“You can’t handle the truth!”](https://steemit.com/psychology/@anonymint/you-can-t-handle-the-truth). **`Anyone with even a modicum of physics and engineering knowledge would understand that the NIST reports on 9/11`** [**were bullshit**, and that](https://steemit.com/politics/@anonymint/succinct-absolute-truth-about-9-11-and-las-vegas-massacre) (c.f.

Or because they want to believe Muslims did it, to support their desire to spread democracy, liberate females, misidentify the source of the evil as the “useful idiots” and other dumb nonsense suitable for congenital retards who are compensating for their insecurities. And they have the self-appointed, “righteous” gall to be publicly condescending, bearing false witness on those few of us who are awake.

Israel had the motive, because they want the U.S.A. engaged in the Middle East to support Israel’s security and existence (as Trump has carried out by officially recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s). There is a much deeper global elite pulling the major strings on this puppet world. They created Bitcoin and when their plan for world domination with Bitcoin becomes more apparent to Jim, then if he is not disingenuous he might start to realize his myopia. **`Jim appears to be some disinformation agent who is trying to misdirect patriarchal men into a war they can’t win at this juncture and misdirecting them away from the information about crux of the evil we are confronted with. Jim also redirects men away from Christianity, towards authority that the Lord warned against in 1 Samuel 8 and thus implicitly into Satan’s lap.`** I wrote in this blog:

> <sup>In **`1 Samuel 8`** the Lord warns humanity what will happen to them if they w(h)or(e)ship the Great Harlot of government and authority. This is also explained from a non-Biblical perspective in [**THE MOST DANGEROUS SUPERSTITION**](https://www.mensenrechten.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/the-most-dangerous-superstition-larken-rose-20111.pdf) by Larken Rose. Freewill is a fundamental Biblical tenet for [without the friction that it is, physics knows we couldn’t exist](https://steemit.com/multiverse/@anonymint/information-is-the-fundamental-matter-of-existence-the-multiverse-is-partially-observable) to appreciate our creator.

That Paul wants us to believe we can be saved just because of a feeling or thoughts, without [correct actions and compliance with the law](https://jesuswordsonly.com/books/commands-of-jesus.html). But I’ve learned today that the Catholic church probably rewrote Paul’s letters:</sup>

As Westerners become affluent they lose Christianity, asceticism, self-discipline, and demand a Nanny State.</sup>

**`I can’t be sure if Jim is doing this intentionally or is simply blinded by his confirmation biases.`** Yet his disingenuous debate about 9/11 indicates it’s likely intentional. I believe Jim isn't that dumb (actually seems to have a very high IQ) and pretends to be dumb when it serves his aims.

I recently also argued to Jim as cited in my blog [End of democracy and a Civil COLD War approaches](https://steemit.com/politics/@anonymint/end-of-democracy-and-a-civil-cold-war-approaches) that there’s no realistic chance for restoration of a monarchy anytime soon in the whole of the U.S.A.. And that Americans are better off thinking about how to return to our roots of benevolent, decentralized fiefdoms aka manorialism. Jim et al’s rebuke was that without a centralized patriarchy then our manors will be defenseless. It’s essentially summed up in [his blog criticizing Libertarian anarchists](https://blog.jim.com/politics/libertarianism-2/). Indeed if we’re not willing to endure extreme asceticism and walk with nothing to following Jesus, then we are subject to practical matters as to how to defend private property and organize society. Pragmatically I can now address that non-spiritually valid concern. We must embrace China as our centralized patriarchy for the time being until after the West has self-destructed, i.e. Jim’s own [The strong horse and the weak horse](https://blog.jim.com/uncategorized/the-strong-horse-and-the-weak-horse/) point applies. Why mire ourselves in the coming decades of Western decline and separatism battles between a divided electorate? As Kissinger promised eons ago about U.N. “blue hats” on U.S. soil, patriarchal Westerners will have enemies domestically and abroad who will prevent them from slaughtering more than half of the electorate. [Our ruling global elite behind the curtain](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/International_Jewish_conspiracy) (c.f. [also](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionist_Occupation_Government_conspiracy_theory) and [also](https://www.timesofisrael.com/can-vatican-display-shed-light-on-the-fate-of-the-menorah/)) who have [provably employed](http://archive.li/http://robscholtemuseum.nl/anthony-c-sutton-rothschild-cartel-behind-the-rise-of-hitler-also-funding-communism-socialism-and-world-war-pdfs/) the leftistards and complicit/compliant/opportunist politicians (e.g. Mueller, Giuliani, Clintons, etc. and the Deep State) as [Yuri’s disposable “useful idiots”](https://youtu.be/QfvXwuZ-bok) in the left singularity, operate by the Machiavellian principle and [are both](https://mfa.gov.il/MFA/ForeignPolicy/Bilateral/Pages/Israel-Vatican_Diplomatic_Relations.aspx) movements that co-opt Judaism and [provably historical](https://steemit.com/libra/@anonymint/ptks1w) Christ which the former persecuted, c.f. [also](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/keepers-of-the-lost-ark-179998820/). And with the economy in shambles, **`we Western patriarchs won’t have any strong horse to offer the electorate to motivate them to acquiesce`** and toss aside their radicalization.

Demo(n)cracy breeds generations of entitled, overvalued self-importance; also embeds and institutionalizes defection as the core culture. Everyone defects on the collective, as the collective takes on massive debts. The boomers raped future generations and now the Federal governments spends ten times more on the elderly than the youth for example. Western society has become duplicitous in every facet, with the sugar coating of demo(n)cracy and debt obscuring and kicking-the-can on the reality of the situation and eventual reckoning, so that we can remain in our high pride, righteous delusion about how we’re not actually copulating with Satan. Trump can’t downsize the Federal government enough because the inertia is too ingrained. Trump although smarter than the Demo(n)crats is dumber than a rock, for not recognizing that he’s a tool that is being set up to blame the alt-right for the coming economic collapse. He’s bragging about expanding military spending while the reality is he should be begging China to help us leverage their well organized patriarchy. The U.S.A. can’t afford to engage the usual Thucydides Trap, but it’s inevitable as Trump was inevitable. [It’s Just Time](https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/its-just-time-martin-armstrong.pdf).

**`The West is an insoluble clusterfuck that must crash and burn before any restoration can be contemplated.`** By `2095` when the U.S.A. has self-destructed into factitious separatism, then we can contemplate capturing the power vacuum and reuniting Western civilization. But we’ll also need to be working on reviving Christianity in the interim, otherwise we won’t have the soft power to accomplish such a goal. There’s absolutely no way to go directly now to a restorative monarchy, because as I explained to Jim, the global elite have planned this out too well. When they usurp the U.S. dollar with Bitcoin before `2033`, the economy of the U.S.A. will turn down into the abyss so egregiously that a super majority of electorate will turn radicalized Marxist.

Western civilization is confronted with [technological unemployment](https://steemit.com/science/@anonymint/the-golden-knowledge-age-is-rising).

That Trump New Years speech seems to confirm Armstrong’s strong dollar vortex theory and so as the dollar comes strong, that will be the time to divest into Asia as Asia will be on a minor slowdown. When TPTB switch from the dollar to Bitcoin sometime probably in the middle between now and 2033, Asia will be booming again whilst the USA will cratering into leftistardism as the U.S. economy turns towards the abyss.

Tangentially China’s island building is extending south much further than just the “South China Sea” as they appear to be preparing for a future war in the Pacific with the USA. The following also documents that China is employing corruption to buy influence in it’s Belt & Road initiative, just as it did by bribing the politicians and perhaps also our CIA in the USA. But China is just capturing a power vacuum left wide open by Western governments and corporations which had no interest in investing in these uneconomic small islands which served no purpose other than to be vassals of the Chinese hegemony:

Yet even if the full $9B in ODA as pointed out in the aforementioned skeptical article is actualized over the coming couple or few years, it will still be less than a majority of [the ODA the Philippines receives annually](https://www.rappler.com/business/219883-neda-says-japan-remains-top-official-development-assistance-provider). Yet this could change rapidly as Japan and the West implode and China rises economically. Towards the end of the current decade, China could be the dominant factor in the economy of the Philippines.

Yet with the Philippines annual government budget of ~$80B and ~$370B GDP, China’s influence in the Philippines will not be absolute. For example, I wasn’t expecting the Philippines to entirely abandon democracy, nor become A “two-systems one country” rubber stamp vassal of China in the way Hong Kong is. However, Duterte [is hinting that](https://www.rappler.com/nation/234897-duterte-pushes-charter-change-after-naming-next-house-speaker) if the Constitution isn’t [changed to a Federal system similar to the U.S.A. republic to eliminate](https://www.cfr.org/blog/implications-dutertes-proposed-constitutional-changes) political dynasties (yet with authoritarian tenets such as the suspension of habeas corpus and no enshrined gun rights), then a military coup d’etat may be imminent because of the rampant corruption in the country. Duterte admires former strong-man dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Any such coup d’etat will only be one [that Duterte agrees to](https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1139690/duterte-remark-on-restive-afp-warns-of-possible-coup-palace). Hmm. The [most recent press release](https://dilg.gov.ph/news/Duterte-Administration-to-pursue-constitutional-reforms-in-honor-of-Nene-Pimentel/NC-2019-1269) indicates a focus on formalizes revenue sharing with LGUs and [opening up investment to foreigners](https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1200903/house-panel-discreetly-oks-reso-relaxing-econ-restrictions-in-charter-extending-terms-of-local-execs-congress-members) (presumably to compete with dynasties). **`So it appears that Duterte et al are scheming to open up the Philippines to Chinese investment.`** If they don’t get it via the democratic process, they’ll resort to a military coup d’etat. Apparently Duterte will have built up so much political capital with the Filipinos, that they’ll support whatever he has to do.

IOW, if by underhanded means China obtains military bases in various countries, if this brings stability that fosters economic development, then it’s analogous to a father figure patriarchy stewarding the family. So if a _centralized_ cryptocurrency can bring more economic development than a hypothetically _decentralized_ one, the former will win or at least be more widely used.

Westerners are going to need decentralization in order to survive the societalcide totalitarianism coming in Western ‘demo(n)cracies’ (another term I’m coining now, in addition to others I’ve coined such as ‘w(h)or(e)ship’).

TPTB planned this out very well. There’s no possible way that China will have enough global hegemony quickly enough (i.e. before `2033`) to dictate the world’s next global reserve currency to replace the U.S. dollar. The only possible candidate will be some impartial de facto asset or basket of assets. Libra and China will compete to onboard the world’s population to _centralized_ cryptocurrency. But eventually they’ll eventually be politically forced to back it with some Bitcoin and perhaps also some gold, not exclusively a basket of major currencies, in order to reduce tensions over who in effect controls global monetary policy.

Once again, the West will drive the next revolution of globalization. China is the enduring empire that completes the job the West initiates, e.g. China swallowing the dying Industrial Age. The West will innovate the entire paradigm with decentralized blockchains as the way forward beyond the limitations of what the Communist Party can achieve.

Note this means that the most successful decentralized blockchain will be the one which enables users to choose whether to adhere to certain dictates (e.g. such as of those [I expect to come from FATF](https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@anonymint/our-bitcoins-will-be-taken-frozen-by-the-miners-involuntary-income-tax-on-frozen-bitcoin)). Such a paradigm will have the flexibility to serve everyone and not be in conflict with the globalization order being erected by China.

> “The modus operandi for the Asia-based blockchain industry is largely different from that of the West,” explains Kyn Chaturvedi, Chief Business Development Officer with TomoChain. “Asia really looks at blockchain as a business, and where economic value can be derived from in the short, mid, and long term. The space in Asia certainly did not gain a groundswell of support due to the ideals of cypherpunks, anarchists, or libertarians. So, though decentralization is a cool narrative, it’s not what drives a business to operate successfully in Asia. Instead the focus here is on market fit, and Asian innovation is driven by fast, iterative cycles measured through customer acquisition.”

Divest while it’s still a seller’s market. For the EU countries that means sell immediately. For the USA, that means prepare your income, tax and investments exit plan to be completed over the next few years. Visiting/living as a tourist in the West could be continued indefinitely, for as long as that remains viable and worthwhile.

Ross Ulbricht’s [life imprisonment](https://news.bitcoin.com/200000-people-have-signed-ross-ulbrichts-clemency-petition/) is a warning to what can happen to all us Westerners. Oh no that could never happen to you, because you keep a low-profile. Ahem, that’s the tall poppy assumption, which only applies in China’s empire not in Western societalcide:

```
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The prevalence of college education is much higher than in my grandparents generation, but the country is now dumber than rocks.

We all know that they hate Trump because they want to live in a snowflake fantasy world. And Trump represents a patriarchal reality that they want to pretend doesn’t exist. They’re been indoctrinated with blue-pill propaganda to such an extent that they can no longer assimilate any reality that is elicits pain, conflict, or disturbs their blue-pilled state-of-delusion.
