Morning, ready for a happy start to the day?
But we can’t afford to keep the lights on or build infrastructure.
Now this above is France, but I mention it to show that it’s not just the UK where this completely predictable stuff is happening. Was it last week that a Labour MP was pushing for women to be treated differently than men in the law, with the goal to abolish women’s prisons? At what point do you stop giving these people the benefit of the doubt, of assumed incompetence, and just realise that they are creating the world that they want? We have a naive kindness in our analysis of what we see with our own eyes that comes from us wanting to think of ourselves as good people, but also because we are good people there’s a mental barrier that is hard to pass that tells us, no one is that reckless, the ramifications are terrible, it must be a mistake. Maybe once, twice, but there are endless examples now in nations throughout the West of policy that is tantamount to sabotage of the industrial, social and cultural integrity that was once the norm. That is exactly the idea, to create something different - which in itself is a worthy goal - the problem is whether citizens think that difference is an upgrade or downgrade to the previous system and I hardly need argue which it is in the current day. It’s no coincidence that recent political slogans talk of change, or building back better, or the new normal, it’s the mental nudge that you’re meant to take heed of without realising.
But the public are not supportive of this new direction. They’ve had the taster over the past 20-30 years and now want to hit the breaks, but that’s not allowed. Leaders in the West are predominantly globalists and intend their nations to stay that way. The move in this direction started with financial and economic systems, industry and trade and there are many benefits to that - and downsides of course. Where the system falls down completely is the erosion of national sovereignty and breaking down of the borders. Immigration and emigration have always happened, but in a different manner than today. If you desired to move countries for some reason there were many barriers to do so. You likely needed the financial means to make that possible, or you had skills that an employer in the target nation required and so they enabled you coming, and even then there was no guarantee you’d become a citizen. These requirements and others limited the scale at which it could occur and was manageable and predictable by the nations losing and receiving people. Fundamentally it meant that the people who arrived were of a reasonably high standard. They’d either proved their diligence and industriousness in their previous country by being able to generate enough wealth to facilitate the expensive process of closing down their old life, acquiring visas and traveling to the new nation, with a surplus to allow them to build a new life when they arrived. Or they were of such skill in their profession that they were deemed worthy of spending money on by employers, to help them come. This all acted as a filter. The border of a country is it’s filter, and like all filters when removed the system it protects becomes clogged with foreign objects and breaks. This is the world you live in now and the country you are trying to build a life in.
All nations have citizens that are useless dross. Those who in the past would have starved or been eaten by wolves, but who today we support financially and hand hold through life, out of (occasionally misplaced) compassion. These are our people though and our issue to find a solution for. There is a scale to which this is manageable. Part of a functioning society are systems that disincentivise reliance on that support and do their best to upgrade that dross to be useful in some way, this again only works at a manageable scale. Western societies are relatively rich in comparison to much of the world and so can afford social safety nets for their citizens that may enable a standard of life in excess of what a good existence would be for a worker in poorer nation. This has been noticed. Also be under no illusion that all nations are quite willing to facilitate their dross becoming someone else’s problem.
I’m sure I don’t need to go into the history of the EU etc, but we have had a system for many years now where on the European continent there were almost no borders and as a citizen of one of those EU nations you could shop for a standard of life which suited you best, many saw this as positive and member nation’s internal systems could cope . But as we’ve seen, all systems need a filter at some point or they will become overloaded and the external EU borders needed to be the harshest of filters to prevent this. This was not the case and we now see it the UK as well as the USA also, the Southern hemisphere migrating North.
Now before you think me completely heartless (you should know me well enough by now to now I don’t care if you do 😂), I understand completely why people want to have the best life they can and if they can head out on an epic journey to find that, by all means try, I would and have. But Horizon Scan listeners will have heard me make clear many times, when your adventure reaches the UK border it should likely end, because you are turned away by the filter if you are not of use to us. We already have a legal immigration method of discovering this before you arrive at our border unannounced, but this is simply being ignored.
What we see is basic incentives. It has been noticed that should you be able to get onto UK soil (and the same with other nations in their own way, but we’ll switch to focus on the UK now), you will be put into a system that protects and maintains your well being at a standard higher than you are used to. Those UK citizens who are working and paying their taxes will contribute a portion of their labour to support you in some manner or another for as long as required, even if they see their own standard of life crumble in the process. Long term it’s possible for you to become just like our native dross should you wish to and exist for free.
The point I’m trying to make is that the honey pot has been open for a long time, the wasps are here and will continue to come whilst the lid remains off the jar. I have no bad feeling towards wasps. I understand what a wasp is and they are doing what is natural, but they can ruin a pleasant situation with their presence. I have means to stop them being in my vicinity should I want to use them. This situation is beginning to become untenable financially and politically across the EU. Election results that scare the incumbent leaders who’ve foisted this situation on us all are having to scramble to keep power by beginning to enforce their borders again. What this creates is a situation for the immigrant where instead of calculating which nations financial and social benefits were the highest reward for effort when choosing your destination, you will now have to take into account which is the most amiable in terms of attitude of ruling class, citizenry and border strictness. For nations there is an early adopter benefit to be had here, as the honey pot with the loosest lid, the sweetest honey and the owners who are most receptive to wasps will see a swarm. Guess which nation is going to be last to realise this?
You are of course not allowed to notice any of this. The coincidence that many of the people coming happen to have darker skin than yours (probably) - due only to the climatic conditions where they and their relatives were born - allows you to be easily dismissed as a racist by those for whom you noticing a problem, is inconvenient. This was seen many years in advance by those who planned the situation we see our nation’s in, and so there has been a ongoing campaign to make you feel blame for events that happened before you were born, to people who are not alive now or towards people you have no connection to whatsoever, for their circumstances. Creating ‘white guilt’ in predominantly white western nations, even among your children is a prerequisite of undermining their ability to resist what our leaders have in store for them. It’s criminal and racist in itself. But much of that attempt at programming hasn’t worked on the youth, only on their parents. So across affected nations recent voting results show a move away from from the old expectation that the young lean left politically. They look at the present, wonder how we got here. Looking to the past they learn that it was once very different, so reject the present and the future they’re being sold. They will continue to vote for people who recognise what they have, and want to reverse course.
Whilst this new younger generation exist, that reversing of course cannot be stopped, only delayed. Whatever the near future holds, this generation should realise their existence is the only way the future gets brighter. It is existential to all of us and they should be wary of allowing themselves to be wasted.
All of the above may be uncomfortable reading, but reality is under no obligation to make you happy. Recognising it is just the requirement to act effectively.
Have a good one.
On point with the immigration/emigration description, particularly using the bees to the honey jar.🫡
