The French Revolution 2.0? By James Reed

     What we are seeing played out in America has been compared to the French Revolution, the desire for a total change of institutions. But, there are elements of the Maoist cultural revolution as well with the shaming pc mind control aspects; maybe it is the ultra-revolution to end all revolutions? Or, it collapses in a heap and the good guys win.

“As with the French Revolution, that will be the trigger for a wholesale replacement of our failed institutions. Since it's Bastille Day, a national holiday in France celebrating the French Revolution, let's ask a question few even think (or dare) to ask: could America have a French-style Revolution? Not in some distant era, but within the next five years? By French-style Revolution I don't mean the extravagant use of the guillotine, I mean the complete political overthrow of the ruling elites. This overthrow need not be violent; it could be an entirely peaceful electoral rejection of the two-party political elites and the Federal Reserve / banking / financialization elites which together form the neoliberal-neofeudal ruling elites. The BAU Crowd (business as usual) considers the possibility of such an overthrow of parasitic, predatory elites as remote as a landing by Martians. I suspect they're purposefully blind to the reality that America's elites and institutions are structurally incapable of accepting meaningful reforms that would address the extremes of dysfunction, exploitation, predation and wealth / power / income inequality that characterize America today. America's elites and institutions have only one systemic response to crisis: do more of what's failed spectacularly. This inability to acknowledge the reality of their own self-serving incompetence and the deeply dysfunctional nature of virtually every level of America's economic, social and political order leaves an overthrow of the entire ruling elite as the only option left other than resignation to Bread and Circuses funded by the Fed, a policy of desperation that will inevitably debauch the U.S. dollar and impoverish everyone who counted on Bread and Circuses to fix what's broken. Counting on Fed-funded Bread and Circuses to fix what's broken is the perfection of magical thinking, a state of denial expressed by the phrase routinely (but apparently falsely) attributed to Marie Antoinette, when she learned that the peasants had no bread: Then let them eat brioche (roughly translated into "cake" in English). Ignoring the horror of the delusional BAU Crowd, let's explore the set-up for a French-style Revolution in America.

Black Lives Matter Attack Black Folk Peacefully Eating! By Charles Taylor

     What further proof is needed of the nasty Marxism of Black Lives Matter, when they attack a primarily Black restaurant? They may find that come revolution time, most Black folks will be fighting against them, like every ex-serviceman and woman I know, and definitely everyone I served with.
  https://summit.news/2020/07/15/black-lives-matter-mob-invades-dallas-restaurant-tries-to-start-riot/

“Black Lives Matter protesters invaded a restaurant in Dallas and tried to start fights with diners in yet another instance of mindless chaos. The whole incident was caught on camera by an African-American man called Damani Bryant Felder who denounced the mob as “ruining an otherwise peaceful evening with their BS.” The video shows the mob, which consisted mainly of white people, shouting about George Floyd as bemused diners looked on. Two of the tables nearest the protesters are occupied by black families. The mob proceeds to shout swear words in the direction of little black children, before fights begin to break out. “They create the unrest then they get upset when someone actually speaks up for themselves,” states Felder. Some of the mob then began throwing objects at the diners as Dallas police were forced to make arrests and use tear gas. “This is marxism, cultural marxism to a tee, they did not come out here to be heard, they came out here to create a scene,” states Felder, noting that the restaurant was full of both white and black people, as well as a black musician, enjoying a peaceful evening before BLM agitators showed up. “They came out here to create a scene and now they’re acting like they’re the oppressed people,” asserts Felder, adding, “They brought this on this entire establishment because they cannot fucking behave and they can’t learn to express themselves like adults.” “All they care about is creating this manufactured outrage, this chaos, their rationale is ‘if we are upset no one else can enjoy any peace whatsoever’,” said Felder. The clip then shows the protesters running away as more police move in and families look on in fear.”

Cancellation Culture on Steroids By Charles Taylor (Florida)

     Aussie friends, here is a taste of the bitter fruits of Leftism and multicult diversity, that you guys will experience, having followed our insane path; everything must go from statues of the Virgin Mary to the national anthem. How could this all be generated by a crooked white cop negligently killing a suspect? It was not, but has been sitting there on our necks, ready to go until this perfect moment, the endgame of the 1960s and previous revolutions:

From a Logical Point of View By Chris Knight

     As a failed philosophy/logic student, I retain a small amount of what I was supposed to learn, but compared to the Left, I am a logical giant. Consider for example these paradoxes of leftism:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-07-13-all-logic-matters.html

•    “Everyone on the Left is absolutely terrified about catching Covid-19, but they all want open borders because they think illegal immigrants are all disease free.
•    Everybody on the Left believes Donald Trump is a Russian asset and also a White Supremacist, but they’ve never shown any proof of any of that anywhere, anytime.
•    Everyone on the Left wants the government to take away all guns from “criminals” and make everyone register all their weapons, but nobody on the Left ever looks back at history (not even a month ago) to see how that plan turns into a communist dictatorship nearly overnight.
•    Everybody on the Left believes that all Whites, except for them, hate Blacks, and that they must stand up for Black people’s rights, but doesn’t that mean they believe that Blacks are weak and can’t stand up for themselves? That’s just demeaning. There are 40 million Blacks in America right now. Do you really believe they need a few White people to “save” them from the “White Supremacist” President, after they just had a Black President for long 8 years who made their lives much, much worse?
•    Everybody supporting BLM is supposedly trying to help Black people have better lives and be treated fairly (as the name implies), but most protesters and rioters are absolutely destroying Black-owned businesses, Black police officer’s careers who did nothing wrong, and even killing Black people on the streets. Why? They’re all too blind and dumb to even research their own “claimed” boogeyman enemies (because they barely exist). Again, no logic.
•    Everyone on the Left believes that “same sex” marriage is amazing and is real, but then why don’t they believe that biological sex is real? Think about that one really well for a second here. How can “same sex” marriage exist if biological sex isn’t real? Ask a Lefty that and they will erupt in your face with completely illogical, extreme voraciousness, as if you just punched their gay friend in the face for no reason.
•    Everybody on the Left believes that feminism and LGBT philosophy co-exist, but how can that be, if “women” aren’t real?”

Looks Like War Boys! By James Reed

     When it starts, and start it will, no doubt devolving into a nuclear confrontation, the conflict will begin in the South China Sea, and spiral out from there. Here are all the facts you need to know before the big bang:
  https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/military/south-china-sea-us-ships-ready-for-war-as-china-flexes-muscles/news-story/9ed1a4c49dfbca02b9a86db05843b27f

“The threats are flying thick and fast in the South China Sea. Beijing’s state-controlled Global Times news service declared: “Any US aircraft carrier movement in the region is at the pleasure of the PLA (People’s Liberation Army).” The US Navy’s chief of information retorted: “And yet, there they are. Two @USNavy aircraft carriers operating in the international waters of the South China Sea.” Beijing insists the waterway bounded by Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Taiwan is its sovereign territory. The UN disagrees. Washington demands that existing freedom of navigation rights through the strategically important sea remain unchanged. Beijing has built up a chain of artificial island fortresses in the Paracel and Spratly Islands. It’s been holding regular large-scale naval exercises there, the latest kicking off last week. Washington has just sent a battle group centred on two enormous nuclear-powered aircraft carriers into the same waters. They’re also engaged in war-games. And satellite photos reveal that it too has begun to expand and strengthen a Pacific island base. It’s just a pinprick on a map – a coral atoll roughly halfway between Hawaii and Japan. Together with Guam, these islands form a chain of air and naval bases between the United States and Asia. Wake Island was the scene of fierce fighting between the US and Japan in World War II. It represented a strategic outpost. A rest, refuel and repair post in the middle of a vast ocean.

Against Veganism and Sugar Too By Mrs Vera West

     Here is an update on recent studies dealing with the issues of veganism (indirectly) and sugar, regarding cardio-vascular health. Vegan protein according to recent research has its limits. And sugar …well …they don’t call it white poison for nothing. Sorry sugar industry, but there will always be plenty of people consuming the sweet grains.
  https://www.studyfinds.org/study-for-older-adults-soy-wheat-protein-cant-compare-to-animal-protein/

“For older adults trying to build or maintain some muscle, all proteins are not equal. That’s the main finding of a new study from The Physiological Society that analyzed the gram-for-gram benefits of animal and plant proteins. Derivatives from animals, such as milk, cheese, and meat, may be among the first food items that come to mind when one thinks of protein. But, over the past decade or so, veganism has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity. More people are choosing to forgo animal-based foods due to health, environmental or animal-rights related concerns. There’s no question that a vegan lifestyle carries numerous benefits. But the jury is still very much out regarding a vegan diet’s impact on muscle maintenance and growth among older adults. So, the study’s authors decided to investigate. Now, it’s universally agreed upon by doctors that the main driver of muscle loss as we age is a decrease in muscle proteins being built with amino acids. Of course, amino acids come from the protein we ingest, and then form while exercising.

California is Morally Bankrupt, Soon Financially Bankrupt By Chris Knight

     Here is some good news, because in the end, all of this pc woke madness needs to be funded, and if the funds are cut, it all collapses. Bring it on!
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-07-13-california-now-less-than-90-days-away-from-total-financial-collapse.html

“The State of California is now less than 90 days away from a financial collapse that can only be averted by acquiring new sources of loans or dramatically slashing government-funded services in health care, pensions, welfare and education. The cracks of financial insolvency are starting to show, and Newsom has no plan that doesn’t lead California into anarchy and destitution. In a desperate effort to delay the financial collapse, Newsom has ordered the state’s EDD to delay unemployment checks for as many months as it takes to preserve the state’s rapidly-dwindling funds. The Mercury News reports that nearly 2 million Californians have yet to receive unemployment checks covering the first three months of the coronavirus lockdowns, which began in mid-March:

Is the American Eagle a “Nazi Symbol”? By Charles Taylor

     Let’s see; the Nazi’s used guns, mathematics and science, and ate food, so all of that must be racist, eh, so ban it? Thus, the latest Trump Derangement Syndrome tantrum has been over a T-shirt with an eagle supposedly being a Nazi symbol:

“The Trump campaign pushed back hard on this idea. “This is moronic. In Democrats’ America, Mount Rushmore glorifies white supremacy and the bald eagle with an American flag is a Nazi symbol. They have lost their minds," Tim Murtaugh, Trump 2020 communications director, said in an email to USA TODAY.

Research Discrediting BLM Retracted Because it was Correct! By Peter West

Rape and Racism By Mrs Vera West

     I have often asked why feminists were not defending the UK children who were raped by the grooming gangs. The reason is made starkly clear in this article cited below by Raymond Ibrahim, that if the victim is white, even if a child, then the Left does not regard their lives as mattering. It is as simple as that.
  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16179/rape-victims-racism

“An increasingly popular idea is that whenever races clash, only minorities can be victims. The notion is hardly limited to the recent riots in America. Elements of such thinking often appear in other contexts. British women, for instance, including rape victims who drew attention to "Asian" (Pakistani and South Asian) sex grooming gangs, are also being attacked by the "woke" establishment. Earlier this month in the UK, Sarah Champion, a Labor politician and MP for Rotherham (the epicenter of sex grooming), was accused of "fanning the flames of racial hatred" and "acting like a neo-fascist murderer." Her crime? She had dared to assert that "Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls." The same elements accusing Champion of being a "murderer" also characterized the UK's anti-extremism program, Prevent, as being "built upon a foundation of Islamophobia and racism." A few weeks earlier, an article titled, "I was raped by Rotherham grooming gang—now I still face racist abuse online," appeared. In it, a British woman (alias, "Ella") revealed that her Muslim rapists called her "a white whore, a white b***h," during the more than 100 times she was raped in her youth by the Pakistani grooming gang. "We need to understand racially and religiously aggravated crime if we are going to prevent it and protect people from it and if we are going to prosecute correctly for it," she said in a recent interview. "Prevention, protection and prosecution—all of them are being hindered because we are neglecting to properly address the religious and racist aspects of grooming gang crimes.... It's telling them that it's OK to hate white people." Ella's attempts to highlight the "religious and racist aspects" of her and many other girls' similar abuse led only to "a lot of abuse from far-left extremists, and radical feminist academics," she said. Such groups "go online and they try to resist anyone they consider to be a Nazi, racist, fascist or white supremacist". "They don't care about anti-white racism, because they appear to believe that it doesn't exist. They have tried to floor me and criticise me continually and this has been going on for a couple of months. They tried to shut me down, shut me up ... I've never experienced such hate online in my life. They accuse me of 'advocating for white paedophiles' and being a 'sinister demonic entity.'”

Fading Antibodies … So Much for a Covid-19 Vaccine! By Brian Simpson

     Cry your heart our Mr Vaccinate-the-Globe Bill Gates. It seems that he antibodies produced against Covid-19 fade, which makes production of a vaccine extremely difficult. Still, one way of looking at this from old Bill’s perspective is that at least there will be an infinite chain of vaccines needed, forever, ensuring maximum profits, if the people play along!
  http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/scientists-discover-that-the-one-big-assumption-that-everyone-has-been-making-about-covid-19-may-be-dead-wrong

“Over the past several months, there has been a tremendous amount of debate about almost every aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic.  People have been eager to debate about the severity of the virus, they have been eager to debate about the wisdom of the lockdowns, and they have been eager to debate about the effectiveness of wearing masks.  But the one thing that everyone could pretty much agree on is that eventually this pandemic would end.  Virtually all of us assumed that one way or another eventually most of the population would develop COVID-19 antibodies and that once we got to that point the pandemic would fizzle out.  Unfortunately, it appears that was not a safe assumption to make. Yes, those that have had COVID-19 do develop antibodies. But two new scientific studies have discovered that those antibodies start to fade very, very quickly. For example, a study that was recently conducted in China found that more than 90 percent of COVID-19 patients experience steep declines in COVID-19 antibodies “within 2 to 3 months”… A new study from China showed that antibodies faded quickly in both asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID-19 patients during convalescence, raising questions about whether the illness leads to any lasting immunity to the virus afterward. The study, which focused on 37 asymptomatic and 37 symptomatic patients, showed that more than 90% of both groups showed steep declines in levels of SARS-COV-2–specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies within 2 to 3 months after onset of infection, according to a report published yesterday in Nature Medicine. Further, 40% of the asymptomatic group tested negative for IgG antibodies 8 weeks after they were released from isolation.  And a very large study that was just conducted in Spain found that some patients that had initially successfully developed antibodies “no longer had antibodies weeks later”… A large study from Spain showed that antibodies can disappear weeks after people have tested positive, causing some to question how possible it will be to attain herd immunity. A study published in medical journal Lancet showed 14% of people who tested positive for antibodies no longer had antibodies weeks later. Needless to say, this is absolutely devastating news, and it has very serious implications for vaccine development… Such findings have implications for vaccine development, since the efficacy of a vaccine hinges on the idea that a dose of weakened or dead virus can prompt your body to generate antibodies that protect you from future infection. If those antibodies are fleeting, a vaccine’s protection would be fleeting too. Short-lived antibodies also diminish hopes of achieving widespread or permanent herd immunity.”

Who Funds George Soros? By Peter Ewer

     Just a thought, it seems all the dissent sites talk about George Soros as if he has an endless source of money. Tens of millions to this Leftist group, then the same to another. It must add up. Wikipedia says that he is worth US $ 8.3, but that would not be in a bank deposit, no doubt it would be tied up in all sorts of clever financial ways that would not make it super-liquid. So, surely Soros must be the front man, the public face of some that lurk in the shadows. It would therefore be interesting to find out who is backing Soros, if even he knows. And, why is there never any money for our side of politics, everything having to be done by chook raffles and the like? Can a war really be won like that? Or, is that simply the nature of the Beast, and I mean Beast, Biblically.
  https://www.amren.com/news/2020/07/george-soros-pouring-220-million-into-racial-justice-movement/
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/07/13/george-soros-pouring-220-million-into-racial-justice-movement/

“Progressive billionaire George Soros’s philanthropic organization — Open Society Foundations — announced Monday that it will donate $220 million to groups focused on “racial justice.” The organization plans on investigating $150 million alone into five-year grants for organizations aimed at achieving equal statistical outcomes between demographic groups in economics and criminal justice. The other $70 million is said to be going toward “more immediate efforts to advance racial justice.” Groups expected to receive funds include Black Voters Matter and Repairers of the Breach. “It is inspiring and powerful to experience this transformational moment in the racial justice movement,” said Open Society Foundations president Patrick Gaspard. “We are honored to be able to carry on the vital work of fighting for rights, dignity, and equity for oppressed people the world over started by our founder and chair, George Soros.”

Trump’s Tax Returns By Michael Ferguson

     I thought that Trump was coy about his tax returns because his no doubt tax minimalisation would be used as a political football. But, as noted below, what the enemy want his tax returns for is to find the slightest thing and blow it up in to a crime. Never mind that most of the Democrats, including Biden have committed far worse. Let’s not even get to Hillary and Bill Clinton who seem immune to the law.
  https://pjmedia.com/columns/robert-spencer/2020/07/09/criminal-investigation-of-trump-coming-supreme-court-rules-he-must-turn-over-tax-records-n625187

“The U.S. Supreme Court voted Thursday to uphold a subpoena from a grand jury in New York for President Trump’s tax returns and related records. The president’s attorneys had argued that presidents are immune from criminal investigation while in office, but seven justices, including the Trump-appointed Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, voted to deny this. And so now it is certain: whatever is found in Trump’s tax records, no matter how benign, no matter how innocuous, the president will be subjected to a criminal investigation. This is as certain as death, taxes, and Democrat rage. The Court’s ruling may be entirely sound on legal grounds. But it assumes an America that is not rent by civil conflict, an America in which judges are still more interested in dispensing impartial justice rather than in using their position to advance their political agenda, an America in which the full weight of the political and media establishment is not bearing down on the president, determined to discredit and destroy him, and remove him from office. That America no longer exists. The America we live in now is the America in which Michael Flynn was ferociously persecuted for years, bullied into pleading guilty to spurious charges, and on the brink of serving a long prison sentence, all as part of an elaborate effort to frame President Trump on equally spurious charges that would serve as grounds for his impeachment and removal.

    Aussie Politicians Fight Three Wars at Once - Climate, Covid and China

    Australian politicians are trying to maintain their never-ending Climate War on carbon fuels while waging a Lockdown War on the elusive Covid virus and also provoking a Trade War with China, our biggest trading partner. We cannot afford three hopeless and costly wars at once. One would be too many. The political war on carbon fuels has damaged the environment with forests of "green" power poles, flats of ground-sterilising solar panels, hills of
bird-slicing wind turbines plus spider-webs of new power lines and roads. This mess produces unreliable expensive electricity, sterilizes land, and wastes water to keep solar panels clean. And imagine the debris when a cyclone sails through a "farm" of panels or a "forest" of turbines. This expensive and unreliable power, plus green taxes and regulations, has destroyed much of Australia's manufacturing, processing and refining industries - all for ZERO climate benefits.

Year 1 is Survivalism By John Steele

     With the massively changes environment, following the corona freak out, then the worldwide race riots, and destruction of all things white, there is a change in thought, with once conservatives, now thinking along survivalist lines. The US is ahead of the curve, having suffered much more damage than other countries, but we have yet to see in Australia what happens when here are no jobs, and the Centrelink mother’s milk bonanza safety net is taken away. I expect home invasions will go through the roof, as some home invaders no doubt will go in breaking in.
  https://www.counter-currents.com/2020/07/welcome-to-year-1-of-the-after-floyd-era/

“And now that we are in Year 1 AFE (After-Floyd Era), we must all realize that the United States has been irrevocably damaged, like the Titanic moments after it had been sliced open by the iceberg. Yes, it will stay afloat for a while, but it’s only a matter of time before it sinks and takes a tragically large number of people down with it. A coalition of radical Leftists and racially-vindictive non-whites have hijacked the Democratic Party, burned and looted our cities, torn down our statues, and vowed to destroy the current system and replace it with a racially-charged form of communism. These people are well-funded, organized, violent, and ruthless. Meanwhile, Hollywood, academia, and the mainstream media — the traditional enemies of the Right — root them on. There is no coexisting with these people, no compromise we can reach. How can you with people who don’t recognize your rights and wish only to kill or subjugate you? How can you, with people who use anti-racism or anti-white supremacy as excuses to promote militant black or non-white supremacy? How can you, with people so obsessed with fighting fascism that they justify totalitarianism? These people are not only violent, dangerous, and evil. They also have no standards. Objectively, they stand for nothing — except maybe for nihilism. If things continue unchecked, there will be war. Either Trump wins reelection in November, and they attack, or Trump doesn’t win in November, and they attack. And they won’t stop.”

The UK Police are a Joke By Richard Miller

     Here is the latest achievement of the UK police - arresting a 12-year-old boy for racism. Sure, what he did is bad, but he needs some parental discipline and to learn some respect for his elders and manners, something the young are sorely lacking in. Treating him as a criminal, is a joke, and the adult who was insulted needs to be bigger than that. Educate the lad to make him a better rather than bitter person, not producing another criminal.

PETER HITCHENS: We've all turned from normal humans into muzzled masochists

     Full Article: https://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2020/07/peter-hitchens-weve-all-turned-from-normal-humans-into-muzzled-masochists.html

     When this madness began, I behaved as if a new and fanatical religion was spreading among us. Be polite and tolerant, I thought. It may be crazy and damaging but in time it will go away. Now it is clear that a new faith, based on fear of the invisible and quite immune to reason, has all but taken over the country. And it turns out to be one of those faiths that doesn't have much tolerance for those who don't share it. My guess is that about 85 per cent of the population now worship it and will continue to do so. The rest of us are, as each day goes by, a persecuted minority, forced to go along with beliefs we do not hold. Its evangelists will not leave you and me alone, but constantly seek to force us to join. This is why I make such a fuss about the demand to make us all wear muzzles. This is not about health. There is simply not enough evidence to compel us to do so. It is an attempt to force submission on Covid unbelievers. That is why it spreads, despite the absence of any good case for it. In a creepy development, one of the most powerful scientific papers arguing against it, Why Face Masks Don't Work: A Revealing Review, last week suddenly vanished from its usual place on the internet (I still have a copy and you may read it here

TURNING BACK THE CLOCK OF CIVILISATION By ED Butler – Releasing Reality Page 70 onwards

     As we have seen, Douglas had as early as 1924, in Social Credit, warned of the impending disintegration of Civilisation under prevailing finance-economic policies. The Great Economic Depression of the thirties prepared the way for the Second World War, both events being predicted by Douglas. The rapid expansion of the Social Credit Movement throughout the English-speaking world, including the U.S.A. during the Depression years, and the serious threat to the Credit Monopolists with the direct challenge in Alberta, was met in part by a diversion in the form of what came to be known as 'Keynesian Economics.' As Douglas said, John Maynard Keynes was an able man. He not only conceded that the banking system creates all new credits, but by inference in his major work, 'The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money', admitted that Douglas was right concerning a deficiency of purchasing power. The Keynes solution was not to recommend that the individual gain access to his own inherited credit as a right, but that depression conditions should be overcome with an expansion of credit to finance deficit budgets. This would enable Governments to "stimulate" the economy by "pump-priming." It would, of course, increase centralised control over the individual. And Keynes did admit that one result would be inflation, but this could be "controlled." Keynesian type "money-reforms," which Hitler and Mussolini had introduced, were offered to desperate people as the only answer to major depressions. Marxist theoreticians like John Strachey welcomed Keynesian policies of "controlled inflation" because they must inevitably undermine stable society. Consider the state of industrial societies today, as inflation produces increasing confrontations between employers and employees. In a little-publicised attempt to help avert the threatened Second World War, Douglas at one stage made an approach to Hitler, suggesting that if he were genuine in his anti-Judaic sentiments, he would end the policy of "full employment" which required Germany to strive to "export or perish." But Hitler, a paranoiac, was a product of the will-to-power philosophy.

The result was, as Douglas said, that by "allowing himself to be put in ostensible control of powers greater than himself" Hitler was at the mercy of those who put him there. When the Second World War started, Douglas expressed the view that the work of the Social Credit Movement would not be lost. Early in the war he predicted that the real objectives of the war were the establishment of an International Police State, the restoration of the Gold Standard and the Debt system, the "elimination of Great Britain in the cultural sense, and the substitution of Jewish-American ideals," and "The establishment of the Zionist State in Palestine as a geographical centre of World Control, with New York as the centre of World Financial Control." In an article in The New Age of January 14, 1932, 'The International Idea,' Douglas examined the reasons for the campaign to establish the World State: "there is a perfectly straightforward and practical explanation of this propaganda for internationalism, and for practical purposes one does not need to look further. Hardly a day passes without a leading article in The Times or other papers of the same type of interest, remarking, as though it were axiomatic that the world is one economic unit, and that no adjustment of the present discontents can be expected which does not proceed from international agreement. These journals are ably seconded by High Clerics. This opinion, you will notice, is never argued; it is always stated as though it were obvious to the meanest intellect, which is, in fact, just about what it is . . . the simplest explanation of this is that if you can make a subject large enough and involve a sufficiently large number of people in the solution of it, you can rest assured that you will never get a solution. A democracy of a thousand voters can be personally approached and convinced on any subject within a reasonable period of time, but if you enlarge the franchise to include everyone over twenty-one in a population of 45,000,000 you can be reasonably sure that any general conclusion at which it will arrive, it will arrive at twenty-five years after that conclusion ceases to be true.
