Is the New World Order Rising? Is It the One They Expected?

 

Not long ago I was lamenting how there were no trustworthy voices any longer. You could no longer trust the academics, who were supposed to be a check on the nonsense of the politicians and the crowd. You could not trust the president of the United States, even to the extent you once could, to be in broad terms on the side of freedom and right. You could not trust the opposition parties. You could not trust the press, another traditional check against a self-aggrandizing elite. You could not trust the scientists; you could not trust the artists; you could not trust the professions. You could not trust the church or the Pope. Everyone had sold out.

But such troubling times raise up new leaders. We are seeing that now, and in sudden strength.

Johnny Depp deserves much credit. He is standing against a social consensus, which has already defeated him several times, that women are always right. He is exposing the reality of spousal abuse against men, and the bias of the legal system in favour of women. He is exposing the reality of narcissism, which is to say, human evil, which is generally these days denied. Everyone not deliberately turning their faces away is seeing now just what it looks like and how destructive it can be to anyone who comes in contact with the narcissist. Much good may come of this, for uncounted many sufferers and for justice in society as a whole.

Not to mince words, Amber Heard is purely, consciously evil. This is what evil looks like. Evil thrives so long as nobody calls it out. Depp is calling it out.

This cannot have been easy for Johnny Depp. He is emotionally battered and fragile. He deserves to be remembered and honoured for this, as for his acting talent. What he is doing is heroic.

And there are other heroes emerging. Elon Musk might be one, although his bona fides still remains to be demonstrated. He too has recently stood up against the elite mob, oxymoron as that is, and its vast network of intimidation.

Others acting bravely are Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Rogan, Jimmy Dore, the crew at Daily Wire. In Canada, Tamara Lich, Alexa Lavoie, Maxime Bernier. Ezra Levant, the man who stood up to and largely ended the “Hate Speech” star chambers. He is a second Joseph Howe. Brian Peckford seems to have risen to the challenge of the times.

A lot of statues have been torn down these days. Very well; let’s replace them with more modern heroes. It would be only too fitting to see a statue of Tamara Lich on Parliament Hill. Let’s rename Ryerson, with its tradition of journalism, Levant University. Let’s rename Dundas Peckford Street.

Maybe we should start a GiveSendGo account and a Change.org petition.

The D10

The G-10?

Did China make a major mistake in moving a few thousand troops across the Line of Actual Control into Indian territory?

It seems clear from clips from Indian media that the Indians are now mad as hornets. The one power on Earth large enough to threaten China on land, and now they are an enemy.

Remember BRICS? China seemed to be part of a coalescing informal economic alliance that challenged the G7: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. The league of emerging powers.

Now India seems interested instead in a British idea to expand the G7 into the “D10”: an alliance of ten leading democracies. Britain, Canada, the US, Italy, Germany, France, Japan—the G7—plus India, South Korea, and Australia. The key idea is that together they could meet one another’s high tech needs without relying on any Chinese components. Supply lines thus secured.

Yet it seems to me this might serve as the nucleus for a larger grouping of the world’s democracies; a possible rival for the UN that would actually have a unifying principle and be able to get things done.

One early order of business might be to create a unified health secretariat, to replace the failed WHO. Second order of business: recognize Taiwan, and bring them in as a member. See how China likes that—a suitable response for their effective annexation of Hong Kong. Third order of business: preference for fellow democracies in matters of foreign aid. Fourth order of business: mutual defense pact. Equivalent to NATO, which coalesced to counter the old Soviet Union. Fifth order of business: preferential trade agreement; “free trade.” This could help establish the new, more secure supply lines needed to replace China, and re-integrate the UK into a larger trading bloc to replace the EU.

Taking all of these measures should also create a major incentive for other nations to become democratic.

We may be seeing a new world order emerging.
