The reaction from the Left to President Donald Trump’s new tariff regime has been predictable. Like everything he does, this too will kill us all. Somehow.
It’s disturbing to see how many on the right are either in agreement with this knee jerk Leftist invective or express varying degrees of confusion. Some like this article from PJ Media seem to be hedging. The tariffs might work or they might not, they say:
“Being a wartime president is a high wire act. The PR battles matter greatly because your capacity to fight is limited by the electorate’s stomach for the mission. If you can’t sell the war, you’re probably not going to win it.
But all the cool, crafty PR tricks won’t mean a lick if your troops get their [tushies] kicked on the battlefield. War is a reality-based enterprise. You can’t bull[EXPLETIVE] your way to victory.”
I get it. There’s a risk to this strategy. There’s a risk to every strategy, however. And what’s interesting about this editorial is the writer has hit very close to the mark by characterizing Trump as a “wartime” president. Though in the writer’s mind the “war” in question is a figurative trade war and not an actual war. A war war.
It’s not a trade war. It’s not figurative at all. This is war.
And we as a country have a very big problem if we haven’t figured this out by now. The People’s Republic of China has been waging what it calls “hybrid war” against our country for more than a decade.
That’s not the terminology used by China experts at some think tank or policy mavens in some Ivy League panel. China, that big land mass teeming with people just across the Pacific Ocean, calls it “hybrid war.” And they are waging that war specifically against the United States. Against us.
Hybrid war isn’t just an aggressive term the Chinese use to describe their trade policy. According to Col. John Mills, hybrid war is a form of warfare (not bartering) that fuses the military with the civilian. A strategy that is easy for China to implement because they are Communist and the state legally holds controlling shares in all its corporations. Every business entity is also a potential military entity. All of which can be bent towards the will of the Chinese state.
And they are. Not for mere financial gain. For war. Against us.
What does that mean?
It means they are actively working to destroy our culture, our government, our institutions, and our freedoms. And for a while there during the Biden administration, I wouldn’t have been surprised at all if the Stars and Stripes had been taken down in DC to be replaced by the red flag of Maoist China. It would’ve seemed somehow more fitting seeing as at the time, I was a jailed political dissident looking out on that same city from the DC prison.
But this is not the only conflict we are facing. We are also locked in a struggle with the West to save the West.
Kyle Shideler at the American Mind also invokes the concept of war when he talks about this in his article Cold Civil War Gone Global. The clunky phrasing parses together all the aspects of this conflict. It is a kind of civil war and it is also a cold war. And, for good measure, it’s gone global.
Shideler sees the outline of the conflict. America is locked in a kind of civil cold war which he describes as the increasingly volatile tensions between the “ruling class” and the “country class.” And when you see how the American ruling class is continually aided by, and aids, the ruling classes of European nations, our supposed allies, you have no choice but to interpret this collaboration as the awful unity that it is.
If British intelligence can help our CIA and FBI implement the Russiagate hoax, and if our USAID dollars prop up gatekeeper institutions like the BBC or Australian universities, then we are fools if we don’t conclude that the little plastic flags on the desks of those at MI5 and the CIA belie the fact that they are actually all on a single team that has nothing to do with their respective nation states. Or us, the citizens of those states.
If that sounds like an accusation of disloyalty or treason to you, that’s because it is. It means those unelected bureaucrats running the government show in DC have more common in with their counterparts in London or Brussels than they do with you and me here in the middle of suburban America.
They are part of a class of self-styled supra-national elites made delusional by their egos and thirst for money and power. They imagine themselves overlords of increasingly larger swaths of the planet.
They include among their ranks not just faceless power-mad in government but also members of the WEF, those in multinational corporations, financial institutions, “non-government” organizations, and other institutions like those of faith, education, and medicine.
The outlines of this transnational cabal have been blatant since the Covid days when countries around the world uniformly instituted lock downs of their citizenry, turning a trip to the grocery store into a government-controlled privilege as they tightened the screws of draconian vaccine mandates.
It was not just America where this happened. It was China. It was Europe. It was Asia. In other words, every place on the planet where this group of wealthy and powerful held what is in business called a “controlling interest.”
And yet, in my tiny town in the boonies of Texas people went shopping without masks, chuckling at the overreaction of the city folk. Those people in DC, in London, in Beijing, and in Brussels — they weren’t us. They thought they could tell us what to do. But we opted for more common sense measures.
Yet since the Covid fiasco, this conglomeration of petty tyrants has become much less careful about keeping their organization and collaboration under wraps.
Presumably, they’ve acknowledged that the cat has already been let out of the bag with Covid. So now they openly coordinate with each other doing things like sabotaging peace talks between Russia and Ukraine and coordinating a unified response to American tariffs.
We know who they are by their shared methods and goals. It’s no accident that all throughout the West nations are mimicking tactics in lawfare to suppress populist movements. In France, Marine Le Pen has been banned from politics.
Matteo Salvini of Italy escaped being prosecuted for the crime of upholding immigration law, Jair Bolsanaro of Brazil now cannot run until 2030. They actually jailed Calin Georgescu of Romania. And while our current president remains a fitting example of using judges to gatekeep politicians, a little-known J6er, Couy Griffin was actually barred from politics for life by a New Mexico state court which invoked a the Civil War era law against “insurrectionists.”
This transnational Deep State cabal have other shared prerogatives. Like mass immigration and Utopian fantasies about a borderless society, controlling people by censorship or limiting our food supply, weaponizing big data for use against the citizens, training weapons of warfare like drones and intelligence inward towards the very people such weapons were built to protect, and plying the population with massive amounts of pharmaceuticals as well as lethal illegal drugs like fentanyl.
They foment fear. They want us all afraid and yet perpetually tuned out on porn, drugs, or gambling. It’s bread and circuses for the 21st century. You’ll own nothing, eat bugs, spend your entire life never moving more than 15 minutes away, and you’ll be completely disenfranchised, faithless, and hopeless.
This is their shared Utopian vision. But who are “they”? When talking about bureaucrats, we call them “Deep State.” When talking about businesses they’re refereed to as “Globalists.” But they aren’t two different things. We’ve seen how they coordinate. They even take hits for each other when tactics demand it.
If you find their vision and ideals abhorrent you likely already think of all of them under the umbrella term “enemy.”
We are slowly coming to see the total shape of it. Author GK Chesterton plays with the concept that sometimes things can be hidden in plain sight because they are too big.
In one of his murder mysteries, the characters discovered that a victim’s head hadn’t been dashed in by a weapon but by something considerably larger, the Earth itself. The victim fell. We are in a similar situation. We see the trees but not the totality of the forest they comprise.
I argue that we have one more step in discerning the total nature of the enemy. Along with these Deep State and Globalist elements, we must acknowledge that the PRC is also involved on a very intricate level.
I’m not merely talking about the PRC’s normal routine of taking over countries through coercive business loans. The Cabal and the PRC both desire the fall of the West. They both desire the destruction of our culture and our freedoms.
Not to mention the fact that the ideas of Globalism itself is little more than Communism implemented through crony capitalism. The Chinese government, being Communist, is therefore thoroughly ideologically aligned. The Deep State, the Globalists, and the PRC are a single unitive entity. Not separate. But one.
Whether the Deep State/Globalist Cabal and the PRC are acting together as part of a coordinated alliance or it’s incidental that they only appear to be working together is irrelevant.
This isn’t a court hearing and we aren’t in the business of waiting for evidence of culpability. The fact of the matter is that there is profound synergy between the two. In ideology, tactics, and desired outcomes.
The whys, hows, and whats all match. Tactically speaking, that’s all the information we need to answer the question: Who is our enemy?
But we can’t coordinate effectively if we limit ourselves to overly long terms that are themselves practically narrative descriptions. If we talk about our struggle engaging the Deep State/Globalist PRC Cabal in the Hybrid Cold Civil War Gone Global we’ll spend more time talking than a blue-haired weirdo explaining their pronouns in detail.
Not to mention the fact that Aquinas said a sign of lower intelligence is the inability to see wholes and instead to break things down into increasingly smaller and detailed parts in order to comprehend something. I argue that there are too many parts to the phrase Hybrid Cold Civil War Gone Global against the Deep State/Globalist PRC Cabal.
So let’s refine the concept a bit. It’s a war. And we know it’s a global war. That makes it a world war. But it’s not a world war like the clash of nations in world wars one and two. There are elements that make it like a civil war and like a cold war too — a fact I pointed out in my article on Cold Terror.
In a nod to fiction, I think the best way to refine this conflict into something appropriately unique is to compare it to the zombie novel, World War Z. In that novel the world was engaged in a global asymmetrical battle against a plague of zombies. Whereas the enemy in World War Z were hordes of the undead, we are locked in a struggle against Tesla terrorists (and other actors) whose minds have been overthrown by the woke mind virus. To me, that’s close enough.
We swap out the letter, though. Instead of Z for zombies, we use G for Globalists. Not because we’re fighting solely against multinational corporations but because we’re fighting against a deceptive neo-Communist delusional elite, and that’s what Globalism is: a vehicle for implementing Communism.
World War G.
This is the battle of our time. Against an enemy that imprisons their political opponents, weakens Western culture and national sovereignty, and seeks to deprive us of our material possessions as well as our most precious possession of all: our freedoms.
The funny thing is, if you think back to what President Trump has been doing since he got into office — fighting the drug trade and human trafficking, bringing jobs back to America, negotiating the end of forever wars, shrinking government, disemboweling USAID and other government departments of questionable worth or dubious loyalty — he’s been fighting World War G all along.
It’s wrong that our president for the most part appears to fighting this battle alone. At the very least, his own party should be willing to lend more enthusiastic support. So many people just shake their heads at the tariffs. They worry about the political cost should the tariffs not pan out. But that’s extremely shortsighted when we consider the disturbing fact why they were necessary in first place.
What’s at stake isn’t just some polling for the next election. What’s at stake is the very lifeblood of America and, by extension, the West itself. It’s not that the tariffs might not work. It’s that they must work. We’re talking about a war here. It’s a war of everything against everything else. A war where every dime you spend, every word you write, every choice you make either works for our freedom or helps those actively trying to destroy it. We won’t win by pretending that it’s not happening.
Like all world wars, this is going to call for an extraordinary effort on the part of everyone in the country. But at the very least, we need to be fighting it. So let’s gear up and get out there, warriors. We’ve got a war to fight. World War G.
