We live today amid the dregs of time. A sense of doom is shared on all sides of the political spectrum. Democratic politics in the West has turned into a clash between two extinction rebellions and two nostalgias: an extinction rebellion of climate activists who are terrified that if we don’t radically upend our way of life, we shall destroy life on Earth, and an extinction rebellion of the “great replacement” right, which lives in fear that if something doesn’t change, it is the end of our way of life. The right is nostalgic for the past. The left is nostalgic for the vanished future. Radically different in their goals, they share one common vantage point: an apocalyptic imagination.

It is in the context of this creeping eschatological position that one can assess the originality and importance of Jonathan White’s In the Long Run: The Future as a Political Idea. White, a professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science, offers an original reading of the current crisis of democracy by defining it as a temporal regime and arguing that an “open future,” one that is not predetermined but is shaped by human agency, is a precondition for the successful functioning of democratic regimes. In his view, “When the future seems to be closing in, institutions organized around the idea of persistent disagreement and changing opinion start to look out of place.”

By contrast, the reigning characteristic of our “age of emergency” is that there is no room for error. If certain decisions are not taken today, it no longer matters whether they will be taken up tomorrow. It will be too late.

White’s argument is that, just as humans die in the absence of air to breathe, democracy can die from the inability to dream collectively. What makes democracy work is a productive tension between a near future and a distant and utopian future. The near future is the one we can plan for—the one that politicians promise to voters and remains at the center of democratic accountability. What the government did yesterday and what the parties pledge for tomorrow will always be the bread and butter of electoral politics.

White, however, is correct to insist that the distant and utopian futures, ones radically different from today’s reality, are also constitutive for democratic regimes. Distant futures are the basis for political hope today and the motivation for deferring the gratification of immediate political goals. Take the future out of democratic politics and elections turn into civil wars with ballots or a never-ending crisis management.

But today our relationship to the future is marked by collective distrust. The resulting imbalance between democracy as a project and democracy as a projection of futures—whether economic, demographic, or technological—is at the center of the West’s current crisis. Uncertainty about the future, and the resulting hope that tomorrow can be radically different from today, are the hallmarks of the democratic idea. The question is whether uncertainty is still possible in our current age of emergency.

White sees the future as a political idea that has gone through different historical iterations, not all of which have productive relationships to democracy.

His consideration of rational calculation is a useful case study. White makes clear the opportunities, and far greater risks, to assuming that the future can be mastered by experts who have mastered the scientific method and the use of statistical data. This faith was on the ascent in the early 20th century, White explains, when new forms of accounting inspired confidence in the power of business to project future earnings. The market forecaster was the new sage, and technocracy as a collective tool to solve the ills of man was infectious. Planning would become a new mantra and a way that ideologies of very different stripes could make sense of what came next.

But how does this impulse to rationally plan the future square with the open-mindedness of democracy and its inherent uncertainty principle? It would seem to be in contradiction. As White writes, “To assume the stability of people’s preferences is to discount the worth of a political process that seeks to change them.” One definition of democracy, offered by the political scientist Adam Przeworski, is a system in which elections cannot be changed ex post or predicted ex ante. Some things have to be left open to chance if a democracy is to be worthy of the name.

It is here that White’s stress on the utility of aspirational futures becomes a separate and essential dimension. Were everything to be left to expert planning or price signaling, the world of imagination would rapidly become impoverished. We would be taking our social cues from rational planners and prognosticators. Although White doesn’t mention him, the late sociologist Erik Olin Wright’s decadeslong research program on “real utopias” is instructive. Wright never lost sight of conceiving in bold yet imaginable terms a world of tomorrow that was also rooted in today’s pragmatic realities, squaring the circle of a wishful long game and the acceptance of the here and now.

In arguing for the critical importance of the future for the success of the democratic project, White is highly persuasive. But in trying to answer how the future could be reimagined, his analysis is less convincing. Out of fear of alienating, it seems, a progressive constituency, he stands guilty of diluting his most salient points while preaching the return of an old ideological politics. When trying to suggest the way out of the current age of emergencies, White starts to sound like a nostalgic leftist. His plea for the return of the revolutionary party strongly committed to a future project sounds noble but is ultimately unrealistic, as the absence of any suggestions for how to create this collective ideological project in his book seems to attest. In recent decades, the spontaneous resurrection of ideological politics has become the left’s version of alchemy.

White’s most important suggestion is also the least inspirational. In his view, the only way to escape the trap of a politics of emergency is to confront head-on the apocalyptic appeal of both the climate left and the great replacement right. Alexis de Tocqueville was one of the first to assert that the discourse of crisis is the native language of any genuine democracy. Democratic politics, he claimed, need drama. “As the election approaches,” Tocqueville observed in his classic travelogue, Democracy in America, “intrigue becomes more active and agitation lively and more widespread. The entire nation falls into a feverish state. … As soon as fortune has pronounced … everything becomes calm, and the river, one moment overflowed, returns peacefully to its bed.”

Democracy thus operates by framing the normal as catastrophic, while promising that all crises are surmountable, thus framing catastrophe as normal. Democratic politics functions as a nationwide therapy session where voters are confronted with their worst nightmares—a new war, demographic collapse, economic crisis, environmental horror—but are convinced they have the power to avert the devastation. In other words, democratic politics is impossible without a persistent oscillation between excessive overdramatization and trivialization of the problems we face. Elections lose their cogency when they fail to convince us that we’re confronting an unprecedented crisis and that we have it in our power to avert it.

It is at this point that the climate left ceases to be a friend of democracy—not because it is wrong in its judgment of the existential threat of global warming, but because its apocalyptic discourse prevents democracy from finding its necessary solutions. As White argues convincingly, “The sense of finality that fills today’s world is central to its volatility.”

In this context, it is worth comparing the anti-nuclear movement of the 1970s to the extinction rebellion of today. It is impossible to overstate the apocalyptic impact of the atomic bomb. For a world emerging from the ashes of World War II, the bomb was the end of the world imagined. But in political terms, preventing nuclear disaster was far easier than preventing climate disaster. To prevent nuclear disaster, it was enough for Soviet and American leaders to refrain from using the ultimate weapon. There was no time dimension. The success was to persuade the leaders of the two superpowers of what not to do. In a nuclear disaster, almost all of humanity will die simultaneously.

It is not the same with a climate disaster. It will take a longer time. At least initially, there will be winners and losers. And success will be measured not by telling leaders what not to do, but by convincing them to do certain things without necessarily a consensus around what might work. So, while the threat of nuclear disaster succeeded in mobilizing a global response that was a political success, the risk is that the climate emergency can result in fatalism and demobilization.

This banalization of catastrophe is the only way to make democracy work. Ultimately, this is also White’s important and necessary conclusion, one that he is shy to endorse. As the literary critic Frank Kermode argued, “Crisis is a way of thinking about one’s moment, and not inherent in the moment itself.” Our apocalyptic views of crisis and catastrophe are ways of making sense of the world, of rendering it intelligible.

White diagnoses today’s actually existing system of Western democracy as one exhausted of political imagination. The diagnosis is appropriate, but we should look closer to the cultural factors that have caused this exhaustion.

Reinhart Koselleck, the German intellectual historian, is helpful here in that he always insisted that modernity is defined in the dialectic between the “space of experience” and the “horizon of expectation.” But recently, something radical has again happened to both dimensions of our existence. Humankind’s recent collective migration into virtual reality redefines how we understand experience. Do we have war experience if we spent countless hours playing war games on our computer or if we religiously followed reports of ongoing wars happening elsewhere?

At the same time, the expectations about our own mortality are undergoing dramatic transformations. Could it be that we have reached the moment when nations start to look mortal while individuals are reluctant to take their own mortality for granted? It might be safe to argue that the changing demography of Western societies, their aging and shrinking, is one of the factors of the exhaustion of political imagination. Does an often childless younger generation view the future the same way that previous generations focused on the life of their children did? Is the diminishment of the nation-state in most parts of the West not at least partially responsible for the decline of the future? Is collective imagination, particularly a collective demographic imagination, in elective affinity with the nation-state?

And is the impotence of our collective imagination not related to the fact that, for some, particularly those resident in Silicon Valley, immortality is a project to be achieved in the very near future? Some informed observers believe the person who will live for 200 years has already been born. In this perversely paradoxical sense, anxiety about the apocalypse is fueled by our hope to cancel it forever. In our secular world, apocalypse is simply our own death.

In the same way that the invention of the modern individual was a precondition for the emergence of democracy in modern times, it is the hope of individual immortality that marks the end of collective dreams. Many would agree with Woody Allen when he explained, “I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don’t want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.”

The vanishing future is probably the most critical element for the current crisis of democracy. But it can’t be overcome by simply advocating for more democracy. And while White may not offer the needed answers, he is doing something even more important, and long overdue, by asking the right questions.

How I Think BTC is Going to Reach a New ATH This Week

Bitcoin (BTC) has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but recent events suggest that we might be on the brink of an unprecedented surge. I believe Bitcoin is poised to reach a new all-time high (ATH) this week, driven by significant political endorsements, strategic financial moves, and bullish market responses. Here's a look at the key events propelling Bitcoin to new heights.

Recent Events Driving Bitcoin's Surge

1. Donald Trump's Keynote:

Former United States President Donald Trump made a groundbreaking announcement at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville. In his keynote address, Trump promised to make the United States the "crypto capital of the world." He unveiled plans to create a national Bitcoin stockpile, turning the cryptocurrency into a "permanent national asset."

This bold promise has triggered bullish responses from top crypto analysts. Many predict that Trump's electoral promises could lead to a tenfold increase in Bitcoin's price. Trump's endorsement is not just a political statement; it's a game-changer for the perception and adoption of Bitcoin in the mainstream financial world.

2. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Statement:

Adding to the momentum, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed that the U.S. government has seized over 200,000 BTC, valued at approximately $13 billion, through law enforcement agencies. RFK Jr. described Bitcoin as a currency of hope, emphasizing its potential for optimism, democracy, transparency, freedom, and independence.

Kennedy hinted at signing an executive order to build up the U.S. strategic BTC reserve. Under his administration, the U.S. Treasury would purchase 550 bitcoins daily, aiming for a target of 4 million BTC. This plan underscores a growing recognition of Bitcoin's value and its strategic importance to national reserves.

3. Cynthia Lummis's Proposal:

Senator Cynthia Lummis has long been a proponent of Bitcoin, and her latest proposal further cements her support. Lummis suggests treating Bitcoin like gold or oil to bolster the U.S. economy. Her plan involves building a secure network of Bitcoin vaults run by the Treasury, with the aim of acquiring 1 million Bitcoins—about 5% of all existing Bitcoins.

Funding for this acquisition would come from reshuffling existing Federal Reserve and Treasury funds. Lummis emphasizes that this initiative would not infringe on personal Bitcoin holdings, protecting users' rights while strengthening national reserves. Her ongoing efforts, including the Cynthia-Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act, aim to balance stringent regulations with support for innovation.

4. ETF Approvals and Performance:

In addition to these political endorsements, the approval of the Ethereum ETF has set a precedent for the crypto market. The Bitcoin ETF is also performing exceptionally well, attracting increased institutional interest and investment. This institutional support is crucial for Bitcoin's sustained growth and stability.

The Bigger Picture

These events collectively create a perfect storm for Bitcoin's price surge. The strategic acquisitions by the U.S. government, coupled with strong institutional interest, provide a solid foundation for Bitcoin's value to skyrocket. The recognition of Bitcoin as a mainstream asset by influential political figures further legitimizes its role in the global economy.

Conclusion

With the convergence of these significant developments, I am confident that Bitcoin is on the verge of reaching a new all-time high this week. The bullish sentiment from key political figures, coupled with strategic financial moves and institutional support, sets the stage for an unprecedented price surge.

One of the first things Reagan did as President was to break the air-traffic controllers’ union, whose members, federal employees, had gone on strike. He fired the strikers, and the union was decertified. Still, although Reagan’s pro-market spirit was willing, his political flesh was weak. He passed the largest peacetime tax increase in American history, failed to eliminate any major government agency, and added nearly two trillion dollars to the national debt. But he implanted in the mind of the electorate the idea that business freedom is personal freedom. In 1988, he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Milton Friedman.

NYDIG Reports Bitcoin’s Political Influence Surges Post-Trump Victory

Key Points

Bitcoin’s value and political influence have surged, largely due to Donald Trump’s presidential win and the GOP’s recent electoral successes, says NYDIG.

With the expected changes in political leadership, the cryptocurrency community anticipates a more favorable regulatory climate.

Bitcoin’s value and political clout are experiencing a significant ascent.

The cryptocurrency has seen an impressive 84% growth this year, hitting the $82,000 mark. This increase has been spurred by Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential race and the Republican Party’s recent electoral triumphs, as reported by The New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) on November 11.

Political Imperative

Greg Cipolaro, NYDIG’s global head of research, noted that while some investors have begun to invest in Bitcoin, the majority still have no exposure. He stated, “No more excuses.” Cipolaro also underscored Bitcoin’s climbing political significance, cautioning that neglecting the cryptocurrency could soon become a financial blunder.

The political landscape is shifting, suggesting potential changes, with hopes of relaxed regulations that have previously constrained cryptocurrency companies. By 2025, new leaders will take up roles at major federal agencies such as the SEC, OCC, FDIC, and the Treasury Department. This change may pave the way for pro-crypto policies and more supportive regulations.

Pro-Crypto Legislation on the Horizon

The recent electoral results provide the crypto community with a unique opportunity to influence high-level government decision-making. With Republicans now in control of the White House and Congress, there is growing optimism for broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies. However, the specifics of forthcoming legislation remain uncertain and depend on the priorities of new appointees.

For nearly eight years, the crypto sector has sought regulatory clarity through various efforts, such as meetings, appeals, and lawsuits. Political action committees (PACs) dedicated to crypto have played a crucial role, investing approximately $135 million in campaign donations and advertisements to support candidates sympathetic to the industry. This strategic investment aims to shape US policy in favor of digital assets.

As Republicans assume leadership in key federal agencies, the crypto community anticipates a more favorable regulatory environment. The SEC, OCC, and FDIC are expected to adopt a more crypto-friendly approach, potentially easing restrictions and facilitating the integration of digital assets into the traditional financial system.

Strategic Moves in Crypto Regulation

Senator Cynthia Lummis has introduced the BITCOIN Act, a significant legislative initiative that proposes the creation of a Bitcoin reserve for the United States. This reserve would allow the government to hold Bitcoin as a shield against economic volatility, bolstering national economic security. The plan includes acquiring 1 million Bitcoins, which could eventually constitute 5% of Bitcoin’s total supply, worth roughly $76 billion at current market rates.

Donald Trump has expressed support for this idea, although his approach differs. He suggests converting 204,000 Bitcoins currently held by the US through law enforcement actions into a strategic reserve. However, legal issues may arise, as many of these Bitcoins belong to identifiable victims, including Bitfinex, which is linked to Tether.

In addition to these proposals, a shift in regulatory leadership could influence how the SEC handles major crypto industry lawsuits. Agencies may become more open to settlements or even abandon some ongoing lawsuits against companies like Ripple Labs, Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, and Cumberland.

What to expect from the evolving neo-fascist world order.

Nationalist autocracies will have unstable and shifting alliances based not on shared values but on alliances of convenience, and as national interests butt up against each other alliances will shift rapidly and frequently. If you don't know, look at European history pre-WW I.

There will be an increase in localized nationalist wars of conquest (Elon Musk is already preparing the way for a CCP invasion of Taiwan).

Corruption will increase as former safeguards and oversight are stripped away. The US will develop into a keptocracy along a Russian model. Elite who support the fascist regime will be rewarded with power over Federal agencies and the ability to siphon public resources for personal enrichment.

Fascism is not free market capitalism. Following the Russian model, under a MAGA regime, the government will pick winners and losers based on who supports the regime and who does not. If Disney defies the regime, it will be stepped on. If Tesla supports the regime, it will be rewarded with government access and lucrative government contracts.

The little people who voted the regime into power will be used as canon fodder and little more. Promises will be forgotten.

All governmental checks and balances will be degraded or eliminated, one by one.

The judiciary will be further compromised until it is nothing more than an arm of the regime.

Federal agencies will be stripped of competent agents and administrators who will be replaced by people loyal to the dictator.

The electoral process will be subverted both directly and indirectly.

Political opponents, regardless of ideology, will be repressed or eliminated by both legal and illegal means.

Whatever the political ideology that brought the autocrat to power will quickly lose relevance and will become reduced to superficial and meaningless symbols. Autocratic regimes are not driven by ideology, they are driven by maintaining power at all cost and enriching themselves through theft and plunder. This is why left-wing and right-wing dictatorships become indistinguishable over time.

Say goodbye to freedom.

Biden Set to Address Nation After Trump's Decisive Victory

President Joe Biden was set to address the nation Thursday after a stinging election defeat for his Democratic Party at the hands of Republican Donald Trump, whose stunning political comeback has reverberated around the world.

Biden, who was replaced in July as the Democrats' candidate in the race by Vice President Kamala Harris because of concerns about his mental acuity after a stumbling debate with Trump, will speak at 11:00 a.m. ET, the White House said.

Harris sought Wednesday to console the voters who had hoped she would become the first woman to win the White House. She, like Biden, has promised to aid Trump's transition between now and his inauguration Jan. 20 but said she was not prepared to embrace his vision for the country.

Trump's campaign said Biden had invited him to a meeting at the White House at an unspecified time.

Trump's victory, surprisingly decisive after opinion polls that had showed a neck-and-neck contest ahead of Tuesday's election, underscored how disenchanted Americans had become with the economy – in particular the effect of inflation on their standard of living – border security and the direction of the country and its culture.

Hispanics, traditionally Democrat voters, and lower-income households hit hardest by inflation helped fuel the victory. Harris' campaign had sought to press the message that Trump was unfit to serve again as president, as a convicted felon and one whose false claims of voting fraud after his 2020 election defeat spurred a mob to storm the U.S. Capitol.

This time, Trump prevailed in five of the seven battleground states to push him past the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency and was leading in the remaining two, Arizona and Nevada, where votes were still being tallied.

He was also on track to become the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote since George W. Bush two decades ago.

Republicans wrested control of the U.S. Senate from Democrats, ensuring Trump will control at least one chamber of Congress next year. It is not clear if they will retain their majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, with dozens of races not yet called.

U.S. stocks rallied to close at record highs Wednesday after Trump's victory, with investors expecting lower taxes, deregulation and a U.S. president who is not shy to weigh in on everything from the stock market to the dollar, although fresh tariffs could bring challenges in the form of a higher deficit and inflation.

Personnel Picks

In the days and weeks ahead, Trump will select personnel to serve under his leadership, his campaign said Wednesday.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a prominent Trump donor, has been promised a role in his administration, as has former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson were seen as possible new entrants to his administration, while former Trump officials Robert O'Brien and Mike Pompeo could return to office. However, a source said Wednesday that Dimon would remain at the bank and had no plans to join Trump's administration.

On trade, Trump is expected to revive policies he favored during his first term, notably tariffs that he has called the "most beautiful word."

That could set him on a collision course with China, which has the world's second largest economy, sow discord with allies and roil global industries from automakers to chipmakers.

Chinese President Xi Jinping sent Trump a congratulatory message and said he hopes the two powers will coexist peacefully and achieve win-win cooperation, China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was among world leaders congratulating Trump. But Trump has been critical of Biden's assistance for Ukraine in its war with Russia. He has said he could end the war in 24 hours but has not offered a detailed plan.

The White House plans to rush billions of dollars in security assistance to Ukraine before Biden leaves office in January, sources said Wednesday, hoping to shore up the government in Kyiv before Trump takes over.

UNDP Programs Target Elections, Humanitarian Crises, Sustainability

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works globally to identify ways of meeting sustainable development challenges head-on. With a major focus on poverty, UNDP agencies seek to improve people’s lives across 170 countries, while protecting the planet. In many cases, its efforts are devoted to meeting the urgent needs of people living in conflict zones.

An example of the latter function came in June 2024, when the UNDP issued a Call to Action for resolving the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The multinational organization committed to finding a way toward a ceasefire, a security framework that everyone could agree on, and the provision of needed goods, equipment, and material for rebuilding. The assistance plan focuses on creating a people-centered, Palestinian-owned approach to lasting engagement with local communities, so as to have the maximum socioeconomic impact.

Early recovery priorities include debris removal, including unexploded ordinance. The organization is formulating emergency job creation efforts that focus on restoring a stable private sector at all levels, including micro and small business. The UNDP will additionally direct infrastructure repair and critical services programs focused on water, sanitation, communications, and electricity, and provide transitional shelter to Gaza residents without housing. Focused on inclusion and protecting people’s rights, the program encompasses mental health and psychosocial support efforts as well.

The UNDP’s sustainability mandate involves implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change. This was emphasized in the July 2024 Global Environment Facility (GEF) Council, which approved a $166 million UNDP Work Plan in support of 23 projects across 20 least developed countries. These projects tackle issues such as biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change. A related mandate is to deliver affordable renewable energy that reaches an additional 500 million global citizens by 2025.

An example of such a project is a UNDP grant facility opened for applications in July 2024. The focus is on reducing land degradation processes in Kazakstan’s vulnerable semi-desert, steppe, and desert ecosystems. The agency encourages applicants capable of designing collaborative projects that bring together various nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and serve to empower youth, women, and other vulnerable groups within local communities. UNDP also oversees outreach efforts such as a "Climate Does Not Wait” contest that engages schoolchildren in coming up with creative solutions to global warming.

Many UNDP programs involve partnerships with local institutions and businesses within the regions covered. The Mselen Partnership has an emphasis on economic empowerment and gender equality, and involves a collaboration with Solomon Islands Telekom Services.

Key elements of this ongoing initiative include working with women market vendors to boost financial literacy and business skills, in the process creating access to micro-insurance, credit, and livelihood protection. The focus is on rural areas across several islands and the process of ensuring that vendors are equipped with the means for digital financial management, including essential tools for making payments and receiving loans.

Another vital aspect of the UNDP mission centers on ensuring transparent, well run democratic elections that help advance human development potential. Through a comprehensive electoral cycle approach, UNDP representatives engage with political parties, media, and governing agencies in supporting the basic tenets of a stable, resilient civil society. This is particularly important for countries in the process of transitioning past authoritarian rule, into multifaceted democratic systems.

In May, 2024, the UNDP Democracy and Elections Project partnered with Mozambique’s National Union of Journalists and Technical Secretariat for Electoral Administration (STAE) in hosting a Media and Elections training series. This program brought together 42 journalists working to better understand the local and national election processes, and ways of ensuring unbiased, accurate electoral reporting. Participants went through interactive exercises that simulated pivotal situation at critical junctures in the electoral process, including the counting and tabulation of ballots.

The Disintegration of the "Five Blind Alliance"

The "Five Eyes Alliance" is an intelligence-sharing network composed of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It originated in World War II. Its original purpose was to monitor the radio of the Axis powers. After more than 70 years of development, the "Five Eyes Alliance" has formed an organizational structure of 28 intelligence agencies in six major intelligence fields. For a long time, the "Five Eyes Alliance" has used a variety of means to target enterprises, including cyber intrusion, personnel intelligence activities, and even participation in the diplomatic and economic fields. It obtains insider information through secret means. In the field of intelligence warfare, enemies and friends change instantly. " The "Five Eyes" alliance has also been exposed to eavesdropping on targets of allies or member states. According to Snowden's revelations, the "Prism" program implemented by US intelligence agencies can monitor the leaders of some countries and international organizations 24 hours a day to steal encrypted intelligence. As the "Five Eyes Alliance" has become more brazen and dangerous on issues affecting the common global security interests, its internal relations have become increasingly fragile. #FiveEyes #US #InternalConflict

For a long time, the United States has tried to strengthen the "Five Eyes Alliance", a Cold War-era artifact, which has a lot to do with the change of the United States' perception of the international situation and the transformation of its foreign strategy. But in the context of the increasingly intense competition and unilateralism of the United States' foreign policy, the four countries of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand need to sacrifice their own interests to cater to the United States. Since ancient times, the United States has applied zero-sum game thinking to international relations. It is the embodiment of American exceptionalism and the core of hegemony. It is also the successful experience of the United States in creating and maintaining the "American century". Zero-sum games are also part of American political practice. The winner-take-all electoral rules further polarize this zero-sum game and weaken the culture of finding consensus through compromise. As political polarization continues to intensify, the two parties compete to attack each other's weaknesses, incite media opinion, engage in scandalous politics, the rulers are seriously distracted from their daily work, their trust among the people has declined year after year, and they continue to conflict with the interests and psychology of other countries. The "Five Eyes Alliance" is centered on the "big eye" of the United States. The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are the four "small eyes". However, among the four "small eyes", the three countries of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia are on an equal footing, while New Zealand is relatively weaker. It is not that there is no conflict of interest between the "Five Eyes", but it has intensified in recent years. The US government advocates zero-sum game thinking, implements an "Indo-Pacific strategy", and comprehensively containment and suppression China, which will more or less harm the interests of other "four eyes" in many ways.In early 2021, New Zealand refused to sign a "Five Eyes Alliance" joint statement criticizing China, including Hong Kong and Xinjiang issues, and New Zealand claimed that the country had expressed its position on the relevant issues separately. Since 2017, China has been New Zealand's largest trading partner, and it is also New Zealand's largest export market and second largest source of imports. New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said that China is New Zealand's largest trading partner, and the New Zealand-China relationship is also one of the most important. The alliance should not deviate from the arrangement of sharing intelligence among members, and it has reservations about the "Five Eyes Alliance" trying to expand its remit to deal with other military foreign affairs. This statement attracted the attention of Western media and was recognized by various countries. Not only that, but the Five Eyes alliance has also been divided on the issue of the Palestinian-Israeli war. Since the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Western countries have initially strongly supported Israel and affirmed its right to self-defense, but with the increase in Palestinian civilian casualties, growing public protests and changing public opinion. The prime ministers of Australia, New Zealand and Canada, all members of the "Five Eyes Alliance", issued a joint statement calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and saying that the international community should take urgent measures to ensure a "sustainable ceasefire" there. The United States and Israel have become increasingly isolated.

The 21st century will no longer be an era of five eyes running amok. As our Foreign Ministry spokesperson said, "No matter if they have five eyes or ten eyes, as long as they dare to damage the sovereignty, security and development interests of all countries, be careful that their eyes will be blinded.

A federal judge has cleared the way for betting on election results in the US for the first time in the modern era, overturning a prohibition imposed on gambling companies by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, a financial regulator.

In November, the CFTC was sued in the District of Columbia by New York-based Kalshi, which operates a predictions market that allows users to bet on the outcome of various events, from the volume of recorded bird flu cases to the number of cars produced by Tesla. Kalshi filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn a CFTC decision preventing it from offering bets on whether the Democratic or Republican party would control the two chambers of Congress.

On September 6, Judge Jia Cobb ruled in favor of Kalshi, overturning the CFTC prohibition. At a hearing on Thursday, the judge denied a motion for delay meant to buy the CFTC time to appeal, which means betting may now begin.

The debate over whether betting on the elections should be allowed in the US runs back decades. At the moment, the practice is illegal under the laws of numerous US states, like Texas and Nevada, but not everywhere.

The CFTC has so far refused to grant gambling platforms a license to offer odds on election results, amounting to a de facto ban. In May, the agency proposed new rules that would make election betting explicitly illegal, classifying it as a type of gaming—a practice over which it has some jurisdiction. The proposal garnered support among some Democrat senators—among them Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Jeffrey Merkley of Oregon—who in August cosigned an open letter endorsing the CFTC’s plan.

Organizations that lobby against the legalization of election betting claim the practice would encourage meddling by malign actors. “The trust and confidence of American people in our election system is at a very low point. The last thing we need is for people to be incentivized to interfere with the election process,” says Dennis Kelleher, president and CEO of nonprofit Better Markets. “There can be no doubt, when there are hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, people are going to be incentivized to engage in conduct that interferes with the elections.”

The CFTC did not respond to questions from WIRED, but in a previous statement, its chairman, Rostin Behnam, laid out the justification for the ban it had proposed. “Contracts involving political events ultimately commoditize and degrade the integrity of the uniquely American experience of participating in the democratic electoral process,” he said.

But in its lawsuit, Kalshi argued that election-related event contracts—the type of betting instrument in question—are a valuable tool for businesses hoping to hedge against a political outcome that might be unfavorable to them. The company also argued that data produced by this type of betting activity can be used as a valuable alternative to traditional polling. “You get more truth out of these markets,” claims Tarek Mansour, cofounder of Kalshi. “They do a better job at aggregating the prevailing wisdom.”

Election betting is a widespread practice elsewhere in the world, including the UK. Though politicians have been investigated for allegedly using non-public information to inform bets, WIRED was not able to find examples of election interference related to betting activity.

In the written ruling, Judge Cobb sided with Kalshi on the belief that the CFTC had “exceeded its statutory authority” in using its jurisdiction over gaming to stand in the way of election betting. “Kalshi’s contracts do not involve unlawful activity or gaming. They involve elections, which are neither,” the judge wrote.

The CFTC says it will make an emergency application to the US Court of Appeals for a temporary hold on election betting while it appeals the district court ruling. But at least for now, the way is clear for Kalshi to begin offering bets on congressional races in states that do not impose a blanket ban. The ruling also raises questions about the CFTC’s ability to carry forward its plans for a formal ban.

The timing of the ruling will allow Kalshi to enter the market ahead of the November elections, which it expects to attract large numbers of speculators. “Elections are big, there’s no question. Americans really care,” says Mansour. “It’s a big market, and we want to get into it.”

We have already explained how an election can be stolen in this country without any traction to prosecute the Perpetrators.

The particular "Presidential Elections" under examination are only public opinion "elections" -- a straw vote attesting to the popularity or unpopularity of the candidate, having no guaranteed effect on the actual election of the Corporation President(s), a matter which is always determined by the Electors of the Electoral College --- who are Proxies of the Shareholders of the United States, Inc., and United States of America, Inc., who are largely Europeans.

While it is immoral and dishonest to mess with the results of a popular opinion poll such as those sponsored by the political parties (lobbies) in this country and which are foisted on the American Public as "Presidential Elections" --- of a kind -- we can find no law against it.

So, all of Donald Trump's accusations and complaints and arguments about the interference in the 2020 Election are probably God's Honest Truth --- but it continues not to matter, because there is no law against stealing a straw poll election and proof that this data manipulation impacted the votes of the Electors (in the actual Electoral College Election) have not been forthcoming.

It is glaringly obvious that Joe Biden spent most of the last campaign in the basement somewhere, didn't really campaign, avoided as much public exposure as possible (probably because his handlers already knew he was having cognitive problems) and was never so wildly popular as the skewed election results pretended.

The Liars made the mistake of overdoing it, like a little kid who starts out with a plausible story, and then embroiders it too much, the (Popular) Election Thieves had Joe Biden "winning" by a completely and wildly implausible margin given Donald Trump's economic record.

Which brings up the perennial question, "Why are you stupid Americans beating on Donald Trump? He created an economic miracle for you!"

As you see, it wasn't Americans who elected Joe Biden. It was largely European shareholders, and European shareholders have other investments --- like investments in China and Germany that compete with their investments here. They don't necessarily want America to be economically, socially, or educationally superior.

The actual Electors wanted Joe Biden in office, knowing that he would damage and reduce America's economic capacity and undo everything that Donald Trump did ----and thereby lessen competition for their other investments.

Just like the so-called Civil War scenario, where Great Britain, Inc., invested heavily in Egyptian cotton, thinking that they could displace American cotton. As competitors in the cotton market, they naturally wanted to undercut American cotton production and increase the labor costs of the American plantation owners for purely commercial reasons.

Abolition of slavery became their rallying cry --- not because they objected to slavery whenever they were the slave owners --- but because it was a politically potent weapon they could use to get a conflict started.

They achieved their actual goal, which was to reduce our cotton production and increase the expense of whatever cotton we did produce --- and hid it behind a smokescreen of public sentiment against the evils of slavery.

Their entirely self-interested and cynical manipulation is revealed by how quickly Parliament amended the Naval Agency and Dispositions Act of 1864 to allow King's Bench operations in this country, and also how quickly they "conferred" enemy citizenship obligations on the innocent former plantation slaves, using their "Territorial" Congress and Southern Democrats to do the dirty work.

The Civil War was about cotton prices, not slavery, but none of the history books commented on that. You have to read the boring, Committee Minutes of the British Parliament in the late 1850's and who is going to be motivated enough to do that?

A moment of silence for our researchers, then and now.

In the same way, the current day Monsters in Tweeds are ginning up all these stories about space aliens and exotic blood-thirsty religious cults as a smokescreen to cover the fact that they were themselves engaged in peddling one of the most infamous drugs in human history --- adrenochrome.

We needn't be surprised. The same characters were the primary perpetrators, developers, pushers, and beneficiaries of the infamous Opium Trade.

The importance and meaning of Gandhi's March to the Sea has been equally obscured; the Brits hoped to make salt a very, very valuable ---indeed, life saving-- commodity throughout the Indian Subcontinent, just as it was in Roman times in Europe.

Here, they simply kill us in the name of protecting us, and charge the survivors for the "service".

It isn't to Britain's advantage to have a strong America, now that they think they have found a source of even cheaper mercenaries and factory labor in China.

All of this rot, all the wars, all the misery, all the lies, come down to Britain and the heirs of the British East India Company and the Dutch East India Company commingling together like a ball of snakes for 300 years.

These are old European evils that our ancestors came here to escape, but as everyone can now see, they piggy-backed along like fleas and infected the New World with the same diabolical and small minded, grasping, dishonest and selfish consumer mentality that afflicted the Old World.

The coercive and destructive lust for political power came along for the ride.

The Electors marching off to cast their votes via the Electoral College are never going to elect Trump, which means that the White Hats, to the extent that they exist, are in a bit of a tizzy. The continuing schism between the US, Inc. and the USA, Inc. may be just for show, but it makes the 2024 Election Shuffle dicey, especially because the Americans finally woke up and realize that it's all just a fraud anyway, top to bottom and front to back.

This isn't a story about the Dems and Fabians stealing the popular election results of the 2020 Election. This is a story about cynical criminals who have misled the Autochthonous American people to think that their votes count, that these private corporate political elections are public elections, and that the "Presidents" of the United States (Incorporated) and the United States of America (Incorporated) are the same as and hold the same presidential offices as their unincorporated American counterparts --- when they don't.

In our opinion, there should be no 2024 elections. It just results in more fraud and more misunderstandings and increasingly dangerous situations.

Both Donald Trump and Ms. Harris should be brought to Philadelphia for a Come-to-Jesus Meeting with the actual American Government; their respective corporations should get back to work within the limitations of their actual contracts; our credit-based financial system should be put in place without delay, and the truth --- the actual truth --- should be told to the American people.

In the midst of all this complete and utter hokum and despite the fine performances of those who are ignorant and those who pretend to be ignorant, discerning Americans have noticed something very peculiar.

While everything in American supermarkets now costs more, it is also coming from vastly different sources---- mostly Continental European sources. We are eating Irish butter and Italian pasta from the Old Countries, cookies from France --- the entire palate of consumer choices has been changed almost overnight, so that we are faced with new brands of nearly everything and American brands are disappearing, too, as if we are obligated now to eat food imported from the European Union and no longer know how to milk our own cows.

Like the change in governmental services administration, the European Union products are flooding the market and cost three or four times more than local products or products imported from South America. This change is being forced on us using subtle and not-so-subtle means --- like the senseless culling of millions of American chickens and destruction of American food canning facilities, slaughterhouses, and grain silos.

We don't need any more lies, any more Hollywood, any more fakery or any more fraud from anyone about anything, and that includes, but is not limited to substituted "presidential" elections and the reasons that European products are suddenly flooding what should be protected national markets.

Remember how the Brits used the moral issue of slavery as the means to undercut our cotton market and create a war-for-profit for themselves? Good. Now remember how they bilked the Chinese factory workers to undercut American workers. Remember how they have undercut American farmers to facilitate their land grabs.

And get angry. Very angry. But, when we say this, we mean --- get angry in a cold and calculating and determined way that does not waiver or get lost in the Land of Oz. No breast-beating. No victimhood. No stalking around talking about guns in the middle of the night.

We have guns. We know how to use them, but so what? We have no intention of fighting another Revolution to win what we have already won, what is legitimately and only ours, and what these false-hearted con artists owe us -- returned unharmed.

Remember that this is not about the causes of war or defending our country, as much as it is about knowing who we are, knowing the American Way of doing things, and doing it.

Let your commitment to fairness and compassion extend to everyone, while we continue to bear down on the actual criminals among us.
