“There exists a liberal policy of trade, church, and education, but absolutely no liberal politics, only a liberal critique of politics. The systematic theory of liberalism concerns almost solely the internal struggle against the power of the state.”
Carl Schmitt
With Russia and China strengthening their military ties, with North Korea blowing bridges and tracks leading to South Korea, with threats of a communist quarantine (or soft blockade) against Taiwan, we find that the West is under military pressure from a global coalition of Marxist-Leninist powers. And who dares talk about it? Nobody wants to admit that we are being backed into a corner, step by step, by communists. We hear no rallying cry from our leaders. Some will talk against Russia, others against China, still others will mention something they call “American Marxism,” but hardly anyone puts the whole thing together. We are facing a coalition of countries which have, at their disposal, a vast fifth column inside the United States.
Here, before me, is Trevor Loudon’s book, Stealth: Kamala Harris’s Communist Roots. Many of the details are stomach-churning. The Democratic candidate for president has been close to communists her whole life. She has been a helpmate to the communist movement. She is already the vice president of the United States, seeking to become the president. The fact that Russia is still run by not-so-closet communists (like Vladimir Putin), makes Harris even more dangerous; for she deceptively pretends to oppose Moscow when her ideology aligns with the old communist bloc.
Internationally the situation is going from bad to worse. Russian President Vladimir Putin is threatening the West with nuclear war. Of course, Tucker Carlson thinks Putin has been misunderstood. I wonder what there is to misunderstand in the brutality of someone who threatens nuclear annihilation against you for trying to stop yet another Ukrainian genocide. Tucker Carlson suggests, of course, that it is not Putin’s fault. According to Carlson the CIA is to blame. Shame on America and its spies. Like the pounding of a drum, the constant and steady theme is America’s wickedness and stupidity. Many on the left blame America for racism, global warming, and exploiting the Third World. Many on the right think America deserves to be wiped out, that America has provoked Russia. Behind this way of thinking we find grand conspiracy theories involving “Jews” or “globalists” or “bankers.”
The problem with conspiracy theory is the theory part. Empty speculation is used as a format for promoting grotesque disinformation. The target audience is titillated, disoriented, and demoralized by “proofs” of an elite conspiracy to exploit and pauperize the masses. Here is the ideal format for subverting society. Meanwhile, the communist movement advances at home and abroad. Only nobody notices. Everyone seeks elsewhere for the responsible villains. Speculation is piled on speculation as dots are misconnected. Too bad for the millions who are confused; for the communist conspiracy is not a matter of speculation. It is historical fact, and it was outlined by Vladimir Lenin in a work titled What is to be Done? Lenin outlined his plan for a conspiratorial socialist movement. And he took over Russia with that movement in 1917.
Today we see various communist-led countries being helped by Moscow. Recently we saw the communist dictator of Nicaragua verbally assailing the President of Ukraine as a “Nazi.” President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua favors Russia because he knows that Russia is still ruled by communists. It is Ortega’s international duty, as a comrade, to support Vladimir Putin. It is also the international duty of communist North Korea to send troops to the Ukraine front. And this is why communist China also helps Russia. Yet the West has not noticed the communist aspect to the war in Europe. We dare not begin to talk about this because it would inevitably lead to questions about communists in Washington, London, Paris, and Berlin.
The truth of the situation must be told. The communist bloc has been revived. In fact, the communists have always been with us, masked by pseudo-democratic poses and free market reforms. According to communist defectors, the socialist camp has been following a long-range plan. It is a plan the West knows almost nothing about. Of course, we can see that America is being subverted. Yet we are forestalled from concluding that communists are the instigators. It has been drilled into our thinking that Reagan defeated communism. Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists divert us with references to the Bavarian Illuminati or shapeshifting reptilians or Bohemian Grove. Better to believe something completely crazy than admit the communists fooled us back in 1991.
Here is an idea: Liberals do not like to admit they have enemies unless those enemies are fictitious. Talk about real enemies and liberals get scared. According to Carl Schmitt, true liberal politics denies the friend/enemy distinction. If you imagine an enemy, liberals will say you are paranoid. It cannot be helped, on the other hand, if the first question of politics is – who are your enemies and who are your friends? Liberals do not want to answer this question. They prefer to use money to convert enemies into partners. “We can both get rich by trade,” say the liberals. “We can live in peace.” There is some truth in this, but it is a partial truth. Liberals imagine they are playing a win/win game rather than a zero-sum game. The Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong once asked, “Why sew up the businessman’s pockets?” In other words, let the liberal businessmen get rich while communism acquires more power. This has been China’s policy these past thirty years.
The liberal thinks of himself as enlightened. He is in favor of peace and prosperity. He hopes to turn the world into a great big shopping mall. This tendency is not a conspiracy. It is part of the capitalist’s win/win thinking. Communist strategists, starting with Mao Zedong, know all about this. They have understood, better than anyone, that liberal businessmen believe in the primacy of economics – which boils down to a negation of politics. Liberals believe in money over guns. Communists believe in guns over money. Political power, said Mao, is based on guns.
Here we can see, in conceptual terms, the problem that confronts Western society. Our system has evolved into a bureaucratic/plutocratic welfare state where economic concerns have come to eclipse political concerns, where the state serves economic interests ahead of national defense interests. America’s political class is largely focused on economic payoffs, wealth redistribution, and economic growth. In effect, such a system constitutes a political nihilism which necessarily damages the society that supposes itself to be governed and defended by it. As a system, it is devolving into a perverse set of parasitic structures. It is less and less able to defend itself against enemies foreign and domestic.
Liberal capitalism’s unwillingness to recognize enemies helps to explain why America has opened its borders to criminal gangs, terrorists, and other enemy auxiliaries. It explains why we have allowed our nuclear arsenal to rot away. It explains why we have built up our enemies by investing in them. The socialist camp has learned to take advantage of our liberal economic focus. Since we cannot tell friend from foe, liberal capitalism has allowed illiberal socialists to take over its school systems, major corporations, banks, the healthcare system. Whereas liberal businessmen have traditionally worked to keep the government off their backs, socialist businessmen are less inhibited and more empowered by big government. Billions can be stolen by socialist businessmen who work with state and federal agencies. The same situation occurs in communist China and the former Soviet Union where the oligarchs began their careers as secret creatures of the state security apparatus.
As a side note: Since the time of Edmund Burke, conservatism has been a kind of liberalism which respects tradition (i.e., especially Christianity and the family). Conservatives, like classical liberals, prefer small government (i.e., limited government). As opposed to the liberals and conservatives, it is the socialists who have appropriated the liberal label while expanding government. Everyone today confuses liberals with socialists. This is due to our present-day habit of misusing language. It is true, of course, that the socialists and the liberals have certain goals in common. They both hope to unite humanity under a global superstate in which nations no longer exist and wars are a thing of the past. In his book, The Concept of the Political, Schmitt argues that there is no such thing as a “world community” or a “world nation.” World government is not possible because it is a contradiction in terms. Those who believe in the prospect of universal peace and universal brotherhood are blockheads whose project will bring about a war of all against all; for everything built on a misunderstanding must come to grief. It is in this matter that we see, most clearly, why socialism and liberalism are ideologies of disorganization and dissolution. The structure of modern society, already complex and problematic, is increasingly disordered by socialist and liberal principles.
In attempting to make a world government, whether liberal or socialist, we find that the nation is intentionally undermined. Yet the nation-state is the most viable kind of state for the present age. It has been a vehicle of progress, freedom, and enlightenment. Furthermore, a nation that hopes to maintain unity must insist on the assimilation of alien elements. Contrary to liberalism and socialism, a nation that hopes to maintain order must have an appropriate system of authority grounded in wisdom and goodness.
Do we find this system in Russia or China? Or do we find something better in the West? And yet, the West’s moral qualities are debunked. Europeans are made to feel guilty. In fact, America is blamed by the socialists as “the enemy of mankind.” Why is America rich and powerful? The socialist says the Americans have been robbing the peoples of the Third World. America’s destruction, therefore, is the only way to liberate the world from the chains of capitalism. This is where socialism is going, and it is ultimately genocidal. To tell billions of people around the world that the Americans have robbed them, is not just an incitement to war. It is an incitement to genocidal war. Americans do not seem to notice this incitement. They think of their country as invincible. In history, however, there are no invincible countries. With modern air and sealift, America can be invaded with surprising rapidity. With nuclear rockets America’s defenses can be pulverized in half an hour. With biological weapons, America can be brought to its knees.
Our liberalism does not allow us to acknowledge any of this. Surely there must be a way to preserve our free institutions while recovering our state. Indeed, we need a federal government that will defend us. We need leaders who can tell friends from enemies, who will stand up to Russia and China. And most of all, we need someone who will confront communist subversion at home.
Is it hoping for too much?

Interesting.
I read somewhere that South Korea is considering sending aid to Ukraine. It’ll be interesting to see how that goes over.
The communists are doing one clenched fist, but they busted their knuckles on Ukraine. South Korea might hurt them worse. I just hope we have the ammunition…. The negligence of our leaders may not be entirely innocent.
A very interesting article:

Mr. Nyquist, President Joe Biden’s Administration has given the Secretary of Defense and the so called “Intelligence Component Heads” (whatever that means) the 007 authority to License American Armed Forces service members to KILL American Citizens in the U.S.A.
The Biden Enabling, Legitimizing, 007 Authority Establishing the 007 License to KILL is DOD Directive 5240.01
The current Secretary of Defense is Lloyd Austin has the 007 Authority.
The current Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency was appointed by Joe Biden. He is Air Force Lt. General Jeffrey A. Kruse. He appears to also have the 007 Authority.
Whose side is Biden and Harris on?
Here is a comprehensive paper by Douglas C. Youvan on How Biden’s New Rules Redefine Intelligence, Lethal Force, and Domestic Law Enforcement.

An illegal order is an illegal order, and those who follow such orders will be subject to prosecution once these communists are sorted out. All military personnel when I was taking classes in the military (in 1978) were taught the consequences of following an illegal order. This is something millions of us will not stand for. So they’d better not.
Mr. Nyquist,
President Zelensky is considering acquiring Nuclear Weapons so that Ukraine can defend itself against Russian aggression. I imagine that President Zelensky must be an American Jazz fan. He must love Billie Holliday’s Song:
God Bless the Child.

Zelenskyy is desperate.
I don’t trust Trump. He seems to be pulling up his inner Neville Chamberlain, thinking that he can trade Sudetenland (eastern Ukraine and Crimea) for “peace in our time”. How can that go better with Trump than it did for Neville Chamberlain? One difference, this time the war has already started, is a trade even possible now?
Do we have a Churchill in the wings, able to step in when all falls apart?
No Churchills in our politics.
“No Churchhills in our politics” -YET.
One just never knows who/what God may have up His sleeves. Afterall, He is the God of Ps 2:1-4. Just never know what types-shadows of Moses’, Esthers, Davids, Josephs, Daniels, John the Baptists, etc He may have been quietly preparing in the backsides of nowhere, in the refining fires of the wilderness classrooms of life for these past decades – yet to be revealed. God is not done with America. Though there are very rough waters ahead….
Yes. It is my feeling that we will experience a sharp break in the way everything works and the kind of leaders we will accept. The people we listen to and elect now will not even receive consideration at some be point. A change in consciousness brings a train of changes.

Jeff, I sent a comment twice, but I think the system flagged it. If you could check for it please. I used the word “v@ccine” a lot, along with the word, “disinform@tion.” Maybe that was why it was flagged.
Never mind Jeff, I outsmarted the system (see page two). Nice to know why it was flagged!
Trying to get this to post… it’s a reply to the comments about the Trudeau testimony (above).
———
But a lot of the really extreme views on the C0vid v@ccine were* actually coming primarily from sites that carry Russian propag@nda, such as Infowars. In particular, some of the deceptions like “the v@ccine contains nanobots,” or “the v@ccine will turn you into a 5G antenna” or “100 percent of those who take it will die in five years” or even “C0vid doesn’t exist” or “viru$es don’t exist” seem like they could have been Russian propag@nda meant to discredit those on the right. Meanwhile on the left there were equal and opposite deceptions, such as the belief that the mortality rate was higher than one percent, or that lockd0wns or ma$ks were required to flatten the curve, or that people would die if they didn’t* receive the v@ccine.
It reminds me of what’s happening in the presidential elections. Even though Putin and Xi both clearly prefer Democrat presidents, Russia has interfered in the past several elections by putting out disinform@tion that hurts the Democratic candidate— eg, “Michelle Obama is a man,” Pizz@Gate, “Hilary Clinton smells like sulphur,” “Biden leads a child tr@fficking ring,” “Kamala Harris eats b@bies,” etc.
It’s almost like Putin and Xi have made a wager to see which country’s propag@nda machine can get the most Americans on the Right or Left (respectively) to believe the most off-the-wall, cr@ckpot the0ries about the candidate on the other side of the fence. The terrible thing is, I don’t know whether Russia or China is “winning.” Both of their propag@nda campaigns have been very effective.
But this same method of Russia trying to radic@lize conservatives against the Democratic candidate even though they (Russia) really want the Democrat to win may have also been used for the v@ccine. They may have used prop@ganda to discredit the v@ccine in conservative circles, even though they wanted as many Americans as possible to receive it. This seems extremely counterintuitive, but if the overarching goal is to cause discord between conservatives and liberals, to tip the US into a civil w@r, then perhaps it’s worth it to them. Perhaps they correctly perceived that most conservatives wouldn’t get v@ccinated, anyway, no matter how much leftist propag@nda was thrown at them.
And, clearly, the v@ccine isn’t as dangerous as well all thought. After all, all* of my v@ccinated friends didn’t die. None of them threw out their iPhones because they were suddenly able to make 5G calls inside their heads (ha). None of them became z0mbies. I think many of us even on this site may have fallen victim to Russian disinform@tion with regard to the v@ccine, including myself. So there may be some element of truth in what Trudeau if testifying to. Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson and others may very well have amplified certain stories about the v@ccine that were truly Russian disinform@tion. Of course, I’m sure Trudeau believes that anything other than “safe and effective” is disinform@tion about the v@ccine. But the truth is likely somewhere in the middle, as it usually is.
I’m not saying, either, that the v@ccine was harmless. Clearly it causes myoc@rditis, clearly some people did die suddenly (including a friend of mine and several acquaintances), and some people did become disabled (including a family member of mine and several aquaintances). But all the 5G nanobot zombie “there is no virus” stuff, in my opinion, was likely Russian disinform@tion. To me it highlights the fact that I need to be more discerning, and I need to question every last thing I read. (And ironically, maybe I need to visit Infowars more* often for clues on what might not* be true.)
K: I should comment. In Germany we do find testimony that Russian agents were involved in mobilizing people against the vaccines. This kind of provocation is very useful for setting up conservative and libertarian factions as traitors.
Oh, interesting, that’s good to know. I think possibly the US government may have been behind the “viruses aren’t real” disinformation. Although that in itself may have been Russian disinformation. 🤣 It’s almost impossible to tell. I need to go back and re-read the article that made that claim.
I think the crackpot mentality is fully capable of coming up with some of this nonsense on its own.
Do you think it’s a helpful strategy to compare stories from a site like Infowars or Global Research with RT and Sputnik? I feel like that has been somewhat helpful for me in determining which stories are most likely Russian propaganda, and which ones are “homegrown crackpot.”
RT and other Russian media are good to keep an eye on.
Jeff
When you talk with Johnny Anderson, I noticed that he refers to pictures. Are we supposed to be able to see the pictures ? I am only getting an audio podcast.
The podcast is only audio, but he does show me images.
Jeff, this idea (above in my last post) also in my mind answers the question of why Putin and Obama went from being friends to enemies back in 2014. It wasn’t just* to cover up the blunder with Medvedev. It was also to give Putin and the Russians complete cover for misleading US conservatives in the coming decade. The timing of it was around the same time as Russia’s first incursion into Ukraine. If Putin had still been buddy-buddy with Obama, the Clintons and Biden, US conservatives would not have been able to be so effectively misled about Putin being a conservative, or a Christian, or the “victim” of NATO’s aggression. But by creating a situation where leftists in this country ostensibly loathed Putin (even though they were secretly working with him in the upper echelons), the Russians were able to make all the pro-Putin, anti-NATO propaganda that much more believable. And Putin now can “authentically” lead the far-right Russian propaganda machine against the US leftists. If that makes sense. It further sets them up to back US conservatives should they succeed in fomenting a civil war.
(I haven’t had my coffee yet this morning, so I apologize if this could have been better articulated.)
I do feel like maybe we’ve all intuitively known this for a while. But I haven’t actually seen anyone lay it all out like this. Unless I missed it in one of your previous articles.
I have written extensively about the shift of Obama’s Russian policy, especially with reference to Michael McFaul’s work.
I’ve read some of what you’ve written on this subject, but perhaps not all of it. I’ll see if I can find it by searching for “Michael McFaul.”
Is this the article you’re referring to, Jeff?It was quite interesting. It was posted in the midst of all the Covid upheaval, in February 2020. No wonder I missed it. It looks like many of your readers may have missed it, as it only had nine comments (compared to a hundred plus recently):
https://jrnyquist.blog/2020/02/07/obama-and-russia/
Yes, this is it.
The Soviets are so brilliant in their strategy. What a pity that all their mental faculties are spent on devising evil, instead of good.
It sometimes makes me wonder if their strategy might be coming from demonic sources.
Human frailty.
