Strategic Culture Editorial – March 8, 2024
Western states are facing an acute political crisis whereby their established governing parties and leaders are fighting for survival amid a grave loss in legitimacy in the eyes of their electorates.
In the United States, incumbent President Joe Biden is vying for reelection in November with historically lowest poll numbers ever for an occupant of the White House.
Meanwhile, across the European Union, governing parties and leaders are braced for a drubbing from parliamentary elections in June.
The roots of this unprecedented loss of legitimacy among Western political establishments are manifold. But surely one cause is the rank hypocrisy of Western leaders that has now been laid bare. How can political figures expect to have any moral authority when they are seen to be inveterate liars and shamelessly corrupt?
Western governments and their servile media lecture about “democracy”, “human rights” and upholding “law and order”. They claim to be motivated by such principles in their support of Ukraine against alleged Russian aggression. Yet these same governments are complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza through their unwavering support for the Israeli regime.
Western leaders have been fatally exposed and compromised by the conflict in Ukraine and Gaza. The contradiction is terminal.
That’s not just because of the blatant double standards and duplicity. Western voters are increasingly disgusted by the relentless financial and military support funneled into Ukraine to prop up a scamming regime comprised of NeoNazi ideologues. Under Joe Biden and the incumbent European politicians, the West has flooded Ukraine with weapons and hundreds of billions of dollars in what is the biggest war racket ever.
This is while Western populations, workers, farmers, and businesses are hard-pressed with numerous social and economic burdens.
Western governing parties are rightly seen as elitist and serving powerful minority oligarchic interests such as the military-industrial-corporate-financial nexus. Their declared vows about democracy are a contemptible joke.
The war in Ukraine is increasingly understood by voters to be a disastrous proxy war of choice that was pushed by U.S. and Western imperial objectives to confront Russia.
Despite the squandering of public money to propagate the war, the U.S.-led NATO axis has lost its “great game”. The proxy war has devastated Ukraine, causing up to 500,000 military deaths in two years, as well as destabilizing the rest of Europe from increased migration, fiscal impact, deindustrialization, and the shattering of agricultural industries.
Western populations are furious with their political leaders for having inflicted such chaos and waste of resources – as well as wantonly provoking tensions in international relations with Russia. Western politicians have pushed the world to the brink of an all-out war between nuclear powers. All this crazed folly is based on utter lies and deception – as the horror of Gaza and Western complicity illustrates.
In this cauldron of electoral revolt, Western political leaders are only digging a deeper hole for their eventual collapse.
American President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address this week made a disingenuous pitch to voters. He portrayed the world as facing an existential crisis from Russian “tyranny” and simultaneously claimed the fate of US democracy was under threat from his election rival Donald Trump.
In a dangerous and desperate move, Biden is conflating Trump with alleged Russian aggression. The Democrat president is fighting for political survival against Republican presumptive nominee Trump primarily because Biden is so deeply unpopular among American citizens. To boost his election prospects, Biden is making out that the country is facing an “inflection point” that requires rejection of Trump because he is “bowing down” to Russia.
Trump and many within the Republican Party are opposed to continuing the proxy war in Ukraine, recognizing that it is futile.
Biden and the Democrats, who are more aligned with the U.S. foreign policy establishment, are therefore trying to make the election about an existential “defense of world democracy and peace”. Biden claimed in his State of the Union address that if the U.S. does not supply Ukraine with another $60 billion more in military aid then Russia will overrun the rest of Europe. Biden even invoked the memory of Roosevelt supposedly facing down Nazi Germany in 1941.
Meanwhile, in Europe, the same warmongering high-stakes ruse is being pushed by French President Emmanuel Macron. Macron is calling for the deployment of NATO ground troops in Ukraine to prevent a Russian victory and an alleged threat to the rest of Europe.
The French head of state has become almost hysterical in recent weeks with war talk. He told other French political leaders this week that there would be “no limits” to France’s support for Ukraine against Russia.
What’s lying behind Macron’s belligerent rhetoric are his fears of political defeat from opposition parties in the forthcoming EU parliamentary elections. It is not just Macron who is anxious. All incumbent European leaders are dreading an expected widespread revolt by the electorate.
That is why the French president and his ruling-class ilk like European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz are seeking to dominate the public narrative with war talk and the alleged danger of Russian expansionism.
The irony is that the more the Western establishments pursue militarism and war in Ukraine the worse their states become from economic mismanagement and the more their legitimacy sinks into the gutter. They are seen more and more as a warmongering clique that has not a shred of ethical concern because of their reckless warmongering in Ukraine and their despicable complicity in the genocide in Gaza.
Elections in Western states are over-rated. As the saying goes, if voting changed anything, it would have been banned years ago. The array of current opposition figures and parties facing incumbents is not going to deliver any solutions to the endemic problems of Western systemic failure. Nevertheless, the forthcoming U.S. presidential election and the European parliamentary ballots are shaping up to deliver grievous blows of repudiation to the political establishments.
To offset the political doomsday, charlatan Western leaders like Biden, Macron, Scholz, and Von der Leyen are doing their last-ditch best to talk up war with Russia and the “threat to democracy” as a way to burnish their electioneering efforts. But such cynicism is not turbocharging their prospects. It will backfire.
The U.S.-led NATO proxy war in Ukraine is facing a historic debacle from defeat. But that makes the desperate reaction by Western incumbents scurrying for political survival a dangerous time in the next few months.

It is very easy to get taken in by the spin and fake news narratives.
Even if Trump gets in, he’s going to be wearing a tight fitting straight-jacket.
Sure, he probably will go after the swamp critters, but the basic Nazi course won’t change.
Here in the UK, it won’t change anything. Sure, there are MI6 backed parties who’s main role is to nudge the bigger parties positions.
No elected force will change the deep states course. The cake is baking in the oven, it’s a done deal.
I do agree the glue that holds the Nazi empire together is weakening. This is to be expected. The main purpose of the fear mongering is so sheeple accept what’s coming. Rationing, loss of banking, and restricted movement. Bankrupt Britain can’t afford for sheeple to take billions out of bankrupt UK, and spend it abroad. Chaos at the ports and airports. It’s all by design.
Wars are not wars. Governments are not governments. The military is not a military. Kings are not Kings. The rich are not the rich. Money is not money. Peace, freedom, happiness, religion, love are not what we have learned. They are just symbols planted into our brains to guide our thinking. What is real, we can clearly see. Emptying Gaza, the West bank, Lebanon, Syria, Africa and South America. Replacing and reducing the world population. Deporting black people, not migrants, to the North, the Jewish people (not religious) with their smart friends to Israel. Keeping the rich supplied with food and all the other good stuff, while this detailed plan unfolds. It is easy to see, understand, and we even cooperate, hypnotized by all the symbols.
I hope in Britain when out on the stump George Galloway’s party volunteers warn voters of any party to avoid using postal votes and either vote in person or appoint a proxy to vote in person for them. The two main parties may both need stolen votes to stave off catastrophic defeat, and as this is the age of massive vote fraud and uni-parties it’s no longer the two main parties facing defeat but the political machine. They may work together, they have the means, to share postal votes between them in target constituencies to help whichever party can be saved there. The political machine is endangered and it will be lawless.
Britain is not a rotten borough but a whole rotten country.
It is extraordinary how the THICKbrits’ Daily Express is talking up World War 3 –

Medvedev – what a COMEDIAN – ought to start a Double Act with Zelensky –
Watch that catch-all weasel word ‘existential’.
It means a permanent but invisible threat that doesn’t need to be proved, simply invoked.
Ha…
‘Loss of legitimacy’… as if they ever had any… the real joke though of course is that this is all part of a ‘plan’..yes that’s right… a plan… such as it is…
The overall idea being to cause a general dissatisfaction with the ‘system’ (kill millions of people)..to thereby coerce the imbeciles into a ‘new’ system, digitize what little they have and steal everything on the planet..of course this will still be run by the same old people, up top.. (snake eyed ghouls in wheelchairs)..
Don’t worry though because you have always lived in a synthetic construct..designed to enrich a certain ‘class’ of imbeciles..at the expense of everybody else.. and every few centuries they reset the game..because they have exhausted their options… think..’Feudalism’..’Enclosure’..’colonialism’, Imperialism, ‘Industrialization’..etc etc.. same pig different lipstick..
You get the idea..if you can of course.. it’s sometimes called ahem… ‘progress’.. but of course no one tells you where to…
This next incarnation will be based on so called Tek..and Lysenko style Scientisms’, and of course mass censorship without which the muggle might actually learn something of value to him…perhaps..a so called technocracy but it’s just another name for communism or yahoodism if you prefer..
..unfortunately nobody has told the latest cohort of degenerated inbred idiots up in the gallery that it’s 80% piss and 20% wind… irregardless of how many poor little embryos they dismantle and GPU’s they mount in a box..
Of course, for the moment, they can still inject you with dog shit and fuck up your life in a myriad of ways… because you allow them to tell you what to do..but that will change as Sorathic Evil steps on the gas…
For the time being, all those damn yankees should all just vote harder for Vaxxine king and Epshteen diddler, Orange Donny Drumpf and make me another 3000 quid..like last time…
I’m sure…indeed I am…
All that is said in this Editorial is so very true that it enrages. But need it have been said? Who but the idiots in this world are unaware of the points it makes? (The pity is, of course, that the idiots are the vast majority who will not be reading this Editorial, nor any other on-topic piece of writing that is not the crass propaganda of our legislatures.)
And why highlight only this tiny clutch of war-mongering renegades:
‘… the French president and his ruling-class ilk like European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz …’
when the UK and the US legislatures are full of their kind, and there is little if any prospect of their and their kind’s being turfed out and replaced by decent people?
The stark fact is that our legislatures are unchangeable. Yes, yes: We are free to elect the people we want to populate our legislatures …
Huh! We are free to elect the turds they put up for us to elect; those turds are the perfect replicas of the present incumbents. Hilariously, they, the present and the future ones, are THE VERY TURDS WHO CLAIM TO BE ‘DEFENDING DEMOCRACY’. (Oh, well: words change meanings. Nowadays, ‘democracy’ means ‘kakistocracy’.)
Strategic Culture is a voice for Russia and for Putin. It’s number one interest is Russia and not really for any place else. Russia is a separate power block designated to administer its own zone of influence in the proposed multipolar new world order. The US and the West are run by a much greater network of of banksters, billionaire corporate hoodlums, and government psychopaths.
What we have to do is get rid of the globalists and start rebuilding our nations and civilization in the West. Trump is simply too compromised, weak, unreliable, and corrupt, and Biden is worse and a total imbecile. Both are fakes.
If the convoluted globalist establishment running the West wanted to duke it out in a peacefully, instead of waiting until we figure out a way to eliminate each one of them for their crimes, then instead of rigging the entire US Presidential with these two clowns, they would give a real choice with actual leaders – their own champion Gavin Newsom vrs. someone like Senator Ron Johnson.
No deals, no conditions, no controls on them, before during or after the election, except valid constitution one. No hidden agendas. No advertisements. No controlled issues. No hiding or pulling the punches on any of the actual controversial issues facing the nation and what the US is doing in the world. Limited campaign money. No contributions over $1,000. Equal time on all media including equal time for all journalistic media commentary. Ten two-hour long debates beginning 6 weeks before the election. No lying. No low blows. No cheating. Paper ballots with human counters with human scrutineering right out of the ballot boxes. All counting done immediately after polls close. No mail-in balloting. No voting except on election day. No proxy voting. 10 years in prison for voting fraud. Only people with at least 2 years of citizenship can vote. Any candidate found to be a tool or a front for any special interest such as having a hidden agenda for other powers such as oligarchs, plutocrats, corporations, intelligence agencies, or secret societies or any other hidden institution would summarily be arrested and drawn and quartered. Once elected, the same rules with respect to corruption, dishonesty, and influence would apply.
If that was done then the US would have a chance of more regaining some trust and respect on the world stage and would go a long way in solving most of its internal problems.
Otherwise, lets have another revolution.
“The war in Ukraine is increasingly understood by voters to be a disastrous proxy war of choice that was pushed by U.S. and Western imperial objectives to confront Russia.” …. Aaaaand manufactured diversionary Kabuki theatre for the gullible plebs and gentry ignorati to keep them from possibly cogitating about who has really been responsible for constantly bending them over a barrel, the victim pin-cushion with pants around their ankles while sporting a t-shit emblazoned with “I’m With Stupid” with an arrow pointing up, and subjecting them to a freight-train of sodomization while robbing them blind with their free hand.
More unvarnished truth presented in a brilliant manner by Chesterton, I love that guy: “..unfortunately nobody has told the latest cohort of degenerated inbred idiots up in the gallery that it’s 80% piss and 20% wind…”
“The proxy war has devastated Ukraine, causing up to 500,000 military deaths in two years” … All of them white, but not too worry since Shlomo is shipping in hordes of Orc brown and black degenerate scum to shit on your lawns and rape your children, er I mean replace the slaughtered former workforce…even those most of those browns and blacks won’t work as they demand all your ♫ money for nothing…and your chicks for free ♫…
“Trump and many within the Republican Party are opposed to continuing the proxy war in Ukraine…” … Trump will do exactly what his slobbering deranged Chabad rabbi tells him to do…or else…the videos of Trump f*cking a bunch underage girls will get released and/or he gets his next haircut with lead projectiles. And the Repugnants will dance to whatever tune Shlomo tells them to, since there is plenty of compelling blackmail on most of those degenerage opportunists as well.
“The French head of state has become almost hysterical in recent weeks with war talk. ” …. What a an utterly despicable shit-weasel Macron is. Oh, Macron is beating the war drum, eh? In synchronous time with the rhythm of him being plowed in his poop-chute by a chiseled well-hung “aid”, no doubt. Ok, Emmanuel, you sawed-off putrid shit-stain, how about YOU grab a rifle, march on over, join the vanguard and show us all how it”s done? You want war, then YOU get directly in the action. I’m sure the Russians will see you as the second ejaculation, er I mean coming, of Napoleon and piss down both legs….with laughter… The social contract from here on out should include the demand that any politician or bureaucrackhead clamoring for war MUST be the first deployed to the front line. A little faggot shit-talking chicken-hawk like Macron would certainly shit himself in fear before he even hears the first bullet sizzling by his ear.
I’m sure Grant Schatts would definitely shatz himself if called to the front line….another wannabe ‘hero’…FFS
