As I may have said a few times before, there are days which seem to take years to pass, and then there are years which seem to pass in days. This year, 2023, certainly seems like the latter. We are already just three weeks away from the end of the year, and we are already seeing titanic trends moving global events at warp speed.
The changes we have seen in just one year are impossible to overstate. In that single year, we have seen American military power collapse to a level most of us – self included – could not have anticipated back in December 2022. Nor could we have anticipated how badly Western, which is to say, American, moral power has collapsed. No one takes the FUSA seriously anymore as an actual honest broker for peace. Everyone knows full well the FUSA is run by insane warmongers who want nothing more than endless death, destruction, and bloodshed, for the sole purpose of preserving the increasingly creaky and broken American Empire.
The neoclowns behind this disaster have no sense of history – despite the fact that many of them have multiple degrees in the subject – and absolutely zero ability to think strategically. They seem totally incapable of understanding cause and effect. If they did, after all, THEY WOULDN’T BE NEOCLOWNS.
The result is a world that is trying very hard to decouple from the West – and we are now seeing power vacuums emerging around the world. Nations which once would have allowed their interests to be dictated to them by Washington, are now telling the Fake Administration to shove it.
The snubs are no longer even couched in diplomatic terms anymore. We now know the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia – and the Prime Minister, i.e. the effective supreme leader of the land of Wahhabist nutbags – Mohammed bin Salman, essentially cancelled a trip to London to meet with the Brits, at very short notice. He did so to prepare for a visit by the Neo-Tsar, Vladimir Putin – who arrived to be greeted quite literally like an emperor.
The actual King of Saudi Arabia met him on the tarmac. The Saudis gave Putin a SEVEN-star treatment, and MBS personally met him with utmost warmth and friendship. This, despite the fact that, just a few years ago, the Saudis tried to crater global oil markets precisely because they wanted to cripple Russia’s economy – at American behest. (It didn’t work, and backfired SPECTACULARLY on the Saudis themselves. Turns out, the Russians are not idiots, and their country is not merely a “gas” station masquerading as a country with nukes.)
This is where the centres of power are shifting – toward the east, toward Russia, China, and the BRICS members. The West is increasingly finding itself unwanted, disrespected, and disdained. No image summarises this better than the picture of the President of the Federal German Republic, Frank Walter Steinmeier, standing with his arms crossed at the hatch to his state aircraft, waiting for someone to meet him in Qatar:
While living standards are still very high in the West, in geopolitical terms, the only country in that grouping which matters anymore is the FUSA – and nobody likes the American rulers anymore. No one wants to pay attention to them. They come across as petulant, pathetic, stupid, inbred children led by crazy old men.
The world will move on from the American Century. Let us hope what follows will be at least somewhat more sane.
And with that out of the way, let us get to the Friday lady of the week.
This here is Juliet Mancini, age unknown, from somewhere in Amerikhastan. She does… well, I have no idea what, but apparently it involves modelling and… TikTokery, which supposedly is a career these days. All I can say is, if she is NOT using some really heavy AI filtering on many of her photos, then someone has got to be pulling a serious con job.
Happy Friday, gents, enjoy your weekends.

Let’s say if you haven’t been here in a while, that except for the ‘toys’ everyone seems to have, there’s no middle class in the US anymore.
Sure, everyone has a computer and a cellphone. But simply rent and food are taking up more than 100% of the average family’s income… that hasn’t been the case in the ‘free world’ since the dark ages.
No one but retired boomers can afford to travel or even have vacations anymore. On the surface, we still have a high standard of living, but the gap between the rent-seeking haves and the hard-working have-nots has become the Mariana trench, yawning and swallowing everything. We are stuck in poverty, but because we still have the intarweb we don’t notice it.
But, this is not something most visitors will notice. But there’s a reason the ‘warm states’ are packed with tent cities now. The massive glut of non-taxpaying third world labor combined with the massive amount of south American and entitled minority dregs cost us more in welfare than the taxpaying, working citizens produce. Between dozens of taxes, most of which are disguised as ‘other fees’ our taxation is well above 70%. and yet, our government is still spending more and supporting the greedy corporate assbags paying ‘noncitizens’ billions to move here.
