THIS WILL READ LIKE BAD SCIENCE FICTION OR THE WORST CONSPIRACY THEORY EVER. IF SO, IT MIGHT AT LEAST ENTERTAIN YOU.
BUT THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE IT WILL RESONATE, AND IF I AM RIGHT AT ALL, THAT SMALL CHANCE IS CRITICAL. SO I WILL RISK LOOKING LIKE A DELUSIONAL FOOL.
While they are flooding the zone we are mostly (and appropriately) all concerned with defending what we can in terms of people, processes, and institutions, with a secondary objective of throwing the Republicans into the outer darkness once and for all.
If this were The Lord of the Rings, this would be the part at the siege of Gondor where Gandalf looks out and says, "There will be no dawn." If this were an Avengers movie, this is where Nick Fury disintegrates into dust at the end of "Infinity War."
In both of those situations, however, the good guys had a strong force working for them that we cannot depend on: the author or scriptwriter.
We have to write our own script and fight our way through without any assurance anywhere that "it is always darkest before the dawn."
So I thought that it's time to take a moment to present a thesis to explain everything at a large-scale level in order for you to understand that our end game cannot simply be to protect the status quo ante and throw the bums out.
I'm going to suggest that the underlying intent here (intent of whom I will make clear in a bit) is nothing less than to create a situation that would appall Thanos himself.
The people pulling the strings here have literally accepted "the need" and "the inevitability" of 80-100 million American deaths in the next two decades and the total destruction of the political entity known as the United States of America.
There are three chief element driving this process: climate change, the billionaire survival instinct, and white supremacy.
CLIMATE CHANGE is not only real, but is accelerating faster than almost any models predict. We have crossed the 1.5 C degrees tipping point already, and only the most optimistic models leave us a chance to avoid 2-2.5 C degrees. Three degrees C is not an inevitability yet, but it is a damn good bet.
By 2070 under an "extreme" prediction of 2 C degrees climate change becomes so extreme as to risk producing an evolutionary bottleneck in which the survival of as much as 2/3s of the world's human population at any level above neolithic subsistence becomes questionable.
By geographic and political chance, one of the largest continuous habitable (at temperate conditions) areas that will be in North America: from about the southern border of Tennessee north into Canada (minus key Atlantic coastal areas).
This area is prime real estate. It will continue to possess good growing seasons and a huge reserve of fossil fuels.
There is a catch, however. As the areas south of Tennessee become less and less agriculturally productive and hotter, south-north migration pressure will increase, which is a problem because ...
The 2070 "New North America," according to studies that are open source and legit, but deucedly hard to find, will only support a population of about 200 million people in an industrialized modern society.
There are 330 million people in the US and another 40 million in Canada -- and that's if you don't count 11 million undocumented immigrants, birth expansion, and other factors. That means that, of those 370 million folks (not counting additional migrating flows from Latin America) 170 million people will either find themselves relegated to the marginal badlands south of Tennessee, or ... dead.
To survive, the New North America will have to be a fortress community that conceives of itself as humanity's "lifeboat" with a responsibility to do whatever is necessary to maintain the survival of industrialized society.
BILLIONAIRES KNOW THIS.
There are THREE essential characteristics of the world's billionaire class that you need to understand.
1. Billionaires are completely amoral. Excepting the tiny portion of exceptions who prove the rule (Mackenzie Scott, for example), billionaires HAVE TO BE AMORAL or they would not be billionaires. They have to have a completely transactional view of morality, and have to believe (in a truly borderline psychotic sense). that other human beings who are not wealthy are not real.
2. Billionaires have a heightened survival instinct based entirely on social darwinism. They are billionaires, they believe, because of their innate superiority, and, therefore, social evolution having proven them to be the most moral and capable people on the planet, it is critical that they call the shots ... for the good of humanity and society as they conceive it.
This would not have mattered if the past three decades had not included the largest transfer and concentration of wealth in human history to the point where it is statistically almost a certainty that Elon Musk or somebody else will reach TRILLIONAIRE status within the next decade.
Some time between 1995 and today this transfer of wealth and the rushing advance of technology doomed the concept of the politically independent nation-state, though like the Roman Republic people continue not to notice.
Leading to ....
3. Billionaires understand the realities of climate change and have chosen a survival strategy ... for them. That strategy focuses on the New North America as an oligarch-controlled techno-society behind the most extensive "border walls" that could ever be constructed. In that society population must be rigorously controlled, the concept of democracy must be suppressed, and the population must be at least 85-95% white.
The billionaire class cannot risk any alternative model of response to climate change emerging, which is why they have been funding climate change denialism for the past two decades while rigorously examining the implications of real research and applying them.
What we are seeing happen in the past few weeks is the result of one of the few major billionaire miscalculations. They thought President Trump would win re-election in 2020, and that they would have an additional four-year run-up to the implementation phase of their strategy. When he lost it created something of a panic because they knew quite well that a four-year delay meant that their timetable was seriously compromised.
They could no longer pretend to work through the existing system. They now have to dismantle it as quickly as possible regardless of collateral damage.
Viewed in that context, consider that current administration's moves regarding both Canada and Greenland, and both make much more sense (and are quietly being backed by the Council for Foreign Relations and the Bezos-owned journal Foreign Policy).
But billionaires don't just need an authoritarian state entity built on the ruins of a mostly democratic United States, they need a vehicle to drive their harsh population reduction model.
BILLiONAIRES HAVE CHOSEN WHITE SUPREMACY AS THEIR PRIMARY TOOL TO COMMIT THE UNTHINKABLE.
A culturally and ethnically homogenous population is inherently easier to control than a multi-racial, multi-religions, multi-cultural -- read DIVERSE -- one.
So they have chosen to focus on the existing strains of racism and white privilege in American society to expand them like a malignant cancer to take over the entire body politic.
And taking over the body politic under the guise of white supremacy equates also to the eventual elimination of all but a small percentage of the non-white non-Christian-evangelical population. That tiny percentage will be both a legally defined servile class, and serve as a reminder of the dangerous of the rest of the world.
(Hitler once said he would keep the last few Jews in Europe alive, publicly displayed in cages, so that people would never forget "the dangers" that it had been necessary to overcome.)
THEY HAVE ONLY ONE SERIOUS PROBLEM: US.
They lost four years that they would have used inching us toward the goal of an openly white supremacist society. So they are being forcde by their compromised timetable to ram it down our throats in the open.
Because the rest of us still outnumber them, and if we figure it out there is still time to EAT THE RICH and plot another course for human survival based on (surprise, surprise) diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Fucking DEI is their greatest Achilles Heel, which is why it must be killed in a single year.
To survive, we have to do THEIR PLAN in reverse.
We must fight to the death (because it IS a fight to the death) for a diverse, democratic society. And that means, literally, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Thank you, Malcolm.
After we defeat the overt attempt to install a white supremacist culture, we must then destroy the billionaire class as thoroughly as the destruction of the One Ring destroyed Sauron, or as Tony Stark turned Thanos and his minions to dust.
Read that sentence again. It means what it says.
ONLY THEN CAN WE CONFRONT CLIMATE CHANGE and work out ways for the largest possible number of people on THE ENTIRE PLANET to survive the challenge.
At heart, billionaires are cowards.
They lack the guts to risk their own existence to try to save the entire human race.
Elon Musk is only out here doing what he is doing because their timetable got so upset by Trump's 2020 loss that he and Bezos and the Zuck have had to start operating in public view.
EVERYTHING ELSE ... EVERYTHING ... is a diversion from the key battle for America: the defeat of white supremacy.
Without white supremacy (which they will assert with mass killings before the end of this year if necessary) THEY CANNOT WIN.
Without white supremacy we could still lose, but THEY CANNOT WIN.
People of color, poor people, queer people, religious minorities, intellectuals ... you are all marked as not surviving to reach the New North America.
I will put this as plainly as I can, expecting it not to survive long on this platform: BILLIONAIRES INTEND GENOCIDE ON A SCALE UNPRECEDENTED IN HUMAN HISTORY.
I know that, ironically, it is still too early for 90% of you to accept this, and I am not going to belabor it much in the future.
Instead, I will turn to the direct fight against white supremacy and against the existence of the billionaire class.
So even if you dismiss this as a crank theory of a delusional reader of too much science fiction I can still possibly be useful to you and your causes.
As Edward R Murrow used to say, "Good night and good luck."
We're gonna need it.
