Quote:Well, the world can finally disabuse itself of at least two deceits: 1) Trump is a populist reformer; and 2) America is a capitalist empire. It’s taken many years to awaken masses of North America, but the veil has at long last slipped and the predatory imperium widely known as the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is revealed in all its grotesque countenance.

To paraphrase the new mayor-elect of New York City, ‘It is the dawn of a new day,’ an ancient and esoteric symbol of a gold or white disk emerging from behind hills or mountains, meaning cosmic renewal and spiritual initiation.

One can hardly wait to hear the Mu’adhdhin (مؤذن) [the person who calls Muslims to prayer] belting out the Adhān (أذان‎) [Islamic call to prayer] from atop the Empire State Building in an audible and symbolic raising of the flag over the former cultural and financial center of the USA. Live from New York, it’s every night from now on.

I can’t say I’m surprised. The conquest began on the 11th of September 2001, and there’s a certain poetic completeness to have the pop culture symbol of the city’s former identity overseeing its demise from atop the Hill in Washington, where the Sun first rises over the continent. The (new) York masonic rite has culminated in the transformation of base metal into gold.

In the ancient metaphor of “black is white,” the Peace President is presiding over invasions of BRICS participants, particularly those with large oil reserves like Iran, Nigeria and Venezuela. The Empire cannot allow multi-lateralism to take hold, and must deny it the energy it needs to expand.

It’s a literal orgy of occult symbolism wrapped in red, white and blue, and saluted by millions of uneducated and gullible masses yearning to breathe free. Ironically, they have chosen the ultimate enslavement as their vehicle.

Completing the ideological pincer is California, where a suffice of fraud has overridden state law to give the sheen of legitimacy to redesigning the state’s districts to ensure the putrification surrounds the heart of the nation. Death always begins in the extremities.


It does not matter whether Zohar Mamdani or Gavin Newsom are ultimately victorious. What is important is the symbolic victory of captivity over liberty. Even the facade of success is enough to encourage the cowards who cheer with trepidation from the sidelines to venture into the fray.

The dawn of this new day is profoundly melancholic, like the passing of a beloved pet or in-law. Once upon a time, there was the idea that humans could be individually sovereign and personally responsible for their successes or failures in life.

No more.

The Omnipotent State has triumphed over rugged individualism and independence of Spirit. The people have spoken, and their collective voice proclaims that they surrender their souls for the illusion of security. The sesquibicentennial struggle to throw off the mantle of servitude has been relegated to historical curiosity, as we all march in lock step into the glorious future of gilded shackles.

Double-plus good, Comrade.

Like a toddler breaking free from the parent at the supermarket, the brief sojourn as a singular creature, able to make one’s own decisions and live with the consequences thereof, has unceremoniously come to an end. It was thrilling while it lasted, but fear of the unknown and inexperience with command of one’s own destiny has led the collective back to the safety and comfort of the maternal bosom.

Perhaps in another two or three millennia, humanity will once again be ready to strike out on its own. One doesn’t hold one’s breath.

The cinematic metaphor du jour is a highly-rated Spanish film by Alejandro Jodorowsky called The Holy Mountain (1973). Written, directed and starring Jodorowsky, it follows an alchemist’s manic quest for enlightenment through riches. Pair it up with Stanley Kubrick’s final masterpiece Eyes Wide Shut (1999), for an occult tour du force that together and separately capture the zeitgeist of surrender to Faustian captivity.
