High Plains Populism

Trudeau — finally – met his well-deserved political end and now the Liberal Party has replaced him with . . . well, a carbon copy of Trudeau. Way to go Canadian Liberals!

As French statesman and diplomat Tallyrand is said to have observed of the Bourbons, “They learned nothing and forgot nothing,” As Google AI put it, he was “referring to the Bourbon kings’ perceived inflexibility and inability to adapt after the French Revolution . . . .”

Unfortunately, it’s back to the future, but with Canada this time.

Canadians have a new prime minister. After a leadership election in the ruling Liberal Party, it’s out with the woke globalist, Justin Trudeau, and in with the woke globalist, Mark Carney.

Extraordinarily, in an age where justified populist rage against an out-of-touch establishment is spreading across the globe, Canadians have ended up with a leader who embodies that very establishment. In many ways, Carney is the technocrat’s technocrat. A bone fide citizen of nowhere.

The new Canadian PM’s CV reads like a parody of an archetypal Davos man. . . . ^<1>

In the second century AD, the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius thought that in choosing how to live it’s best to be like a wrestler and thus be ready for anything that comes at you from any quarter. Meditations, VII, 33 (p. 84). The Western political elites need to internalize this thought. J.D. Vance schooled the Europeans on this by pointing out that the real danger to Europe was from within not from any external source. The Europeans were so horrified they dropped their rainbow flags, “Vlad is a Dictator” pens, and “We Heart Third-World Invasion” coffee mugs.

So to no one’s great surprise the Europeans can not grasp this bitter truth and remain wedded to The (Outside) Russian Threat. More than 34 years have gone by since the Soviet Union closed up shop but the European elites – and the U.S. elites – have refused to recognize that a new day had dawned in the world in 1990.

In 1940, the French needed to not be fixated on the nearly impregnable Maginot Line and instead be alert to threats from any direction. But they had the wrong focus, prepared for the last war, and failed to appreciate the capabilities of German armor. Turns out last year’s solution didn’t solve this year’s problem.

So the Liberal Party in Canada is content to follow in the footsteps of an arrogant twit. As a result of Trudeau’s failures and betrayals, Vancouver is awash in money from Chinese billionaires and fentanyl courtesy of the Chinese government. The Mexican cartels infest Vancouver as it’s easier to move “product” into the United States from the northern border. And, in all of Canada, 40% of the population is foreign born.

So steady as she goes under Davos man it seems. As Dr. Phil might ask, “How’s that going to work out for you? You vicious, agile, farseeing, virtuous, educated twits.”

South Africa today.

Needless to say, [recent U.S. actions] greatly angered European leaders who were evidently convinced the US would continue to station troops, send weapons, and provide funding for the continent’s security while letting the governments act however they wanted and while treating them as the primary parties in the proxy war we’ve been bankrolling.^<1>

The number one priority for European governments is for them all to pay for the security they think they need from whatever monster they think threatens their neighborhood.

The entire “Russian threat” is a vicious invention but if the Europeans want to believe otherwise and shovel money down the drain to fund an entirely unnecessary, though useless, “defense” establishment that’s up to them.

To use basic psychotherapy terminology, the U.S. has acted as an enabler of the Europeans. They got to prance about playing at great players on the world stage while they fawn over illegal immigrants and build their cradle-to-the-grave welfare utopias. Just hope that you don’t need to go to the emergency room with something more serious than a broken finger. Or that you don’t feel the need to express yourself freely about the accelerating destruction of your country by foreigners and a traitorous ruling class.

With the exception of, maybe, France, European conventional forces are a joke. Germany’s military is a joke for sure and the mighty British navy is a glorified coast guard with a nuclear submarine auxilliary. If the Europeans won’t get serious about threat assessment and military preparedness I don’t see why the U.S. should pick up the slack.

The Bergoglian Church is an Accomplice in Ethnic Replacement

In this context [importation of foreigners by criminal organizations and their subsequent explotation and abuse and the degradation of the U.S.], it is dismaying to hear the words of [Pope] Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who recently stated – referring to Italy but speaking about the entire Western world – that, in the face of demographic decline, the only workable solution is to import immigrants, thus concretizing the ethnic replacement theorized by Kalergi, the pan-European. This proposal [for importation of foreigners] is also widely reflected in similar requests from multinational corporations, who see the importation of immigrants as a way to drastically reduce the cost of labor to the detriment of native workers, further increasing their profits. As we can see, Authority is now completely subservient to the diktats of the elite, with the complicity of the mainstream media, even if this leads to a worsening of the social and working conditions of the population. Or rather, it is precisely for this reason, since, as I said, the ultimate goal of this lobby is the extermination of a sizeable portion of the human race.

The Numbers Speak for Themselves

Finally, we cannot forget that the budgets of US Dioceses, already largely compromised by the millions of dollars doled out in compensation for the cases of sexual abuse, and also depleted by the abandonment of an ever-increasing number of faithful from the official Catholic Church because of its betrayal of its nature and mission, have their main income from government funds given to them for the purpose of “welcoming” immigrants.^<1>

Note that last sentence. The U.S. Catholic Dioceses have their main income ($2.4B) from government funds given to “welcome” immigrants.

And, oh yes, not that the Archbishop wrote “the ultimate goal of this lobby is the extermination of a sizeable portion of the human race.” That’s an allegation just about every person on the planets should think long and hard about. (My emphasis.)

From the amazing Elizabeth Nickson:

The [fentanyl] pills are made everywhere [in Canada], in factories where no police dare to visit. We pour drugs across the border. Mexican and Asian cartels launder most of the drug money generated in North America through casinos and real estate in Vancouver. Gorgeous houses built by and for the Anglo-European middle class in the early 1900’s are now lived in by violent Asian cartel gang leaders and children of [Chinese Communist Party] leadership. That is how weak and stupid our politicians are.

Crime is the most reliable profession in the country.

Thirty-four percent of us are proud to be Canadian. That’s down from 83% ten years ago.^<1>

Ms. Nickson’s words on Canadian healthcare are alarming. Especially if you’ve got cancer.

Here’s what she says about Canada’s elite:

The only people allowed to speak in Canada are socialists and they fight over a shrinking pie, like vermin over crusts. If you are not a socialist, keep your head down and your voice muted. I won’t write for Canadians; my readers are 90% American. Absurdistan is read in 100 countries and I feel entirely safe, but not here; it’s too dangerous to focus on Canadian issues. The cadre of grim Marxists in our Privy Council are wildly punitive. They jail people and forget them. If you evince any opinion other than the approved, you are instantly thrown out of any social group, corporation, church, charity group, book club or tennis club.

The vile idiot Trudeau promised 400,000 children would have a hot breakfast in impoverished Nova Scotia. Not one meal served in 3 years.^<1>

Good thing it’s not like this in the United States.
