Fantastic piece, thank you. I hugely enjoyed your appearance on the James Delingpole podcast too. I listen to all Delingpole’s podcasts but you pair really got him thinking. There were a number of pregnant pauses before he could respond, especially the point you made on governments replacing us. Delingpole has gone very far down the rabbit hole but I’m not sure how far he has swallowed the ‘great replacement’ pill, as that’s a topic his interviewees don’t tend to bring up. Your dissection of the odious Douglas Murray was excellent. I remember attending conferences as an academic, and encountering Murray representing the Henry Jackson Society. He has been backed by Israel from day one.

Just came across you guys thanks to the Delingpod. Love your position on the uselessness of politics.

Curious what you make of Russel Brand as his suggestions come across as kind of similar to yours. Plenty of people say that he is controlled opposition.

Agree about polls being used to manufacturing consent, so I would suggest that you always lie if being questioned for a poll.

Yes, fantastic discovery on Delingpole’s podcast. I’m now devouring as much as I can. This is a brilliant article.

I am in the process of trying to get to synthesise your work and convey it to another researcher I follow. Mathew Crawford is a statistician who has been assembling a complex web or connections and is dissecting the “Intellectual Dark Web” at present and much of its very “inorganic” emergence fits in with your research on Murray, the think tanks and the use of dissident voices to further the narrative.

It’s exciting to see many great researchers arriving at a similar understanding of the larger picture.

The only interest thing i have is, changing the basis of the liberal paradymn. Everything is wrong with. sections of liberalism. and especially "freedom of expression", its a liberty.. not a freedom.

locke and mills's, philosophy, continual rendering of nature towards nurtures, is the problem. there is so little nature that remains, after such a process is continually achieved. replace nature with spirit and organically being left alone, and you get the flaws with the paradymn.

We are now nihilists.. and most certainly not by choice, god is dead. society is dead, spirtiuality is almost dead. Mystics and myth and frens is all we seem to have remaining.

The future will come from, how do we convert the nurtures into natures..

Are you interested in talking about the british and the austrian/german tactics? Of the ruling classes as well as the responses?

On my substack I am writing and talking in german, because it was my intention to get through to the people on the countryside and the non-educated, still reasonable class. My goal is explaining to them what is going on, but I think we all need ideas on how to deal with our behemoths.

There are remarkable differences in the strategies but a lot of similarities as well. I would also like to discuss questions like the possibility of an alliance between immigrants (at least a part of them) and the resistance against the ruling class and their plans etc.

I know you dismissed the woke fight, but I am firstly still in the city, and secondly just reorienting away from academics to become an electrician. So I am doing the courses and find myself often as the only austrian among 14 or 15 foreigners (afghans, turks, serbs etc.). I have found, that you can rally these people against the woke stuff, and that they may very well join a coalition against the bigger project. In fact, most of the turks and serbs would or do vote for our so called "far right" party (fpö in austria, afd in germany) and thats mostly because they insist on their national identity as much and even more than the nationalists in Austria.

So there are a lot of aspects. I try to convince everybody to forget about the right-left bullshit and focus on the elite stuff. That may seem to be a little marxist, but a class coalition of working class people may be possible. So I dont know how the relation between immigrants and locals in Britain truely are but here I feel quite strongly that a coalition against the upper class is forming and the covid fascism did a lot to facilitate that.

I am with you, when you say that the solution isnt political but if I wannted to do that in the big city, it is just like... well... you can sync with all the other parallel societies but establishing an "parallel society of austrians or germans" seems to be an almost impossible task.

Anyways... same, same but different. If you think this exchange might be fruitful and fun, just give me a little reply.

Ecclesiastes 12:11-12 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
