 I think, from using Google Translate, the meaning of this piece is Open Up, the Sky is Covered with Clouds.

Revolutionary Ethos and Nationalism

One obvious pillar of the prevailing progressive ethos is a hatred and vilification of nationalism, to the degree that nationalism and bigotry/fascism are practically attacked as one and the same. So nationalism equates here by obvious inference to reactionary, ‘anti-revolutionary’ attitudes. 

However, in the nineteenth century the very popular revolutionary movements generally were specifically nationalist movements. Thus what Young Italy revolutionary movement under Mazzini directly led to the creation of the Italian nation state. It didn’t exist prior to the revolutionary movement. This was replicated right across Europe with for instance Young Ireland in my country again directly aspiring to an independent Irish nation state. Nationalist revolutionary movements such as in Poland and Greece embodied to the liberal imagination freedom from oppression, and unity through brotherhood - thus the Fraternity aspect of the famous French Revolutionary slogan: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity (Brotherhood).

This doesn’t mean there couldn’t be aspirations within revolutionary idealists beyond unity within the nationalist structure, but the huge popular draw of revolutionary movements shows how much resonance the sense of belonging as a people, French, Italian, Irish, etc rather than simply as an abstract humanity has for us.

Within the core of revolutionary movements however has often existed an elitist intellectual consciousness where these intellectuals conceive of humanity as an ignorant herd of whose development they are the guardians. This elite have already ascended to truth, and the greatest achievement of the rest of us is through obedience to be raised from our ignorance to their level. So when we end up with Lenin declaring his Bolshevik/Communist dictatorship to be ‘the dictatorship of the proletariat’, what this really meant  was it was  a dictatorship by Lenin and the revolutionary elite who were acting as guardians of the proletariat.  

One very telling revealing of the elitism beneath the surface of things is the amazing current implication of populism as of being something negative! If a political or social movement is populist, of the populace, therefore it must be defiled! Rather than being led by an elite, the populace are thinking for themselves and believing power should emanate from within their own ranks! So very quickly of the masses don’t consent to be led by their betters, they are regarded with contempt and as the enemy.

This version of the revolutionary ideal under figures like Marx is not a nationalist but a globalist movement. It is a power fantasy that conceives of no limits or borders. The state run by the illuminated elite owns everything - “You will own nothing and be happy” as said by The World Economic Forum - and the state is not conceived as confined by the nationalist structures but instead extends to become an all-conquering one-world state. This is basic communist ideology. Thus, to see this in practical rather than theoretical terms, the hatred of borders and the rampant policies pushed by the political elites of mass-migration. So nationalism is now, rather than a revolutionary goal, is now a hindrance to be undermined, eroded and extinguished because it is an obstacle to the globalist ideal. 

Even the anti-white racism of modern progressivism is in considerable part aimed at undermining the sense of belonging and ‘fraternity’ anyone of European tradition or ethnicity has regarding their background. Though, to add, ths racist attack goes beyond the utilitarian function of serving a cause onto being a spiritual hatred of humanity itself - thus nihilism, the hatred of life itself.

Upkeep

A man had large water containers built to catch and store rainwater, and he boasted of his brilliant system that meant he would now be in full control of the upkeep and wellbeing of his beautiful garden. However the rain didn’t come, his water tanks stayed dry and the garden withered.

Rumours

Rumours, as yet unconfirmed, are suggesting that the next outpouring from the Corporate Whore franchise is to be called Corporate Whores of Hollywood Suffer for Ignorant Humanity. It is said - again as yet unconfirmed - to be emotional, at times distressing, but ultimately cathartic.

Blast from the Past

 

Rose, Shakespeare

“You know that line by, is it Shakespeare: “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”?

“Yeah, what about it?”

“I don’t think it it’s true.”

“Really? How do you make that out?”

“Well, what if instead of rose the flower was called Hippopotamus?”

“How would that make any difference?!”

“You know like a placebo, where the mental connotation can be enough to do the person good; this can be like that in reverse. Think about it - ‘hippopotamus’ is such an unattractive or inelegant word, it might be too much of a stumbling block for your senses and self to overcome. Your naked olfactory system, as it were, might be overridden by the intellect and all its prejudices and connotations, and so, no, a rose by any other name wouldn’t effectively smell as sweet. Not for us anyway.”

Lovable

Lovable if bland music group, The Smug Bourgeois Neurotic Liberals have a new song out: No Limits to Our Servility. Everyone who buys the single will receive an item of children’s clothing signed by Tom Hanks.

Conversation a and b

Conversation A (sometime around 2017)

“That psycho Donald Trump is going to cause World War 3! He must be stopped!”

“I know. It’s terrifying. We need to somehow bring back the status quo.”

Conversation B (sometime around 2025)

“That psycho Donald Trump is going to try to end the Ukraine War. He must be stopped!”

“I know. It’s terrifying. We were just about to win.”

“I always thought we must win this war, whatever the cost, however much it escalates - even to the point of it causing World War 3.”

“We need to somehow bring back the status quo.”

Dynamic

 US Vice President JD Vance recently gave a speech in Europe that received a lot of attention, where he called out EU leaders as tyrants against their own peoples, talking of the crackdowns on free speech, and mentioning the UK where citizens can be arrested and treated as dangerous criminals for silently praying for all concerned 200 metres from an abortion clinic. The authorities not great at prioritizing the stopping of raping gangs that they knew about for years, but top class at shutting down thought crimes involving prayer.

Did this make me angry - the presumption of this American coming over here, questioning our leaders’ intentions and practices, and hurting their feelings?

 Not exactly. What actually came to mind is it’s a bit like a gang of schoolyard bullies picking on someone weak and having their own way enjoying themselves for so long. But now the victim’s big powerful older brother has turned up and the dynamic has had a very big change.

Bandwagon Of Creativity

Fake News Shitstorm, riding again the bandwagon of creativity, have just recorded a new song, primed presumably for imminent release: Who Needs Truth When You Got Us. There is also a b-side: We’ll Never Let You Down (Quite a Few of Us Even Have Degrees in Journalism).

Greatest Dream and Aspiration

Woke Pope Francis has revealed that his greatest dream and aspiration, apart from perhaps going to the moon, is to become pregnant. “Deep down it is the hidden but cherished hope of every man, whatever his gender,” explained the deep state pope. 

Woke Pope Francis said he keeps a close eye on scientific developments in this field,  but admits that for him the sands of time may sadly be running out. “For me, yes, the window of opportunity is perhaps getting narrower rather than wider, but where there is science, wise government and a people obedient to its dictates, there is hope.”

More Generous

Deep State Cabal have surprised and perhaps even shocked music lovers of the free world with the announcement of another single release, a mere handful of days since the release from the confines of non-existence of their last one - We Are Not a Criminal Syndicate. This is a group that just keeps on giving!

This new song is called Criminality is in the Eye of the Beholder (All is Relative).

Train of Thought

“You know how you get into, for example, a train, and it brings you to a destination? It can be the same with thoughts.”

“Really?”

“You know how certains thought suggest themselves, so to speak, and if we get on board some particular train of thought, well, unknowingly to us, it brings us on its journey towards its destination, or perhaps series of destinations. It wasn’t just a static thought.”

Paint For Your Life

“If you had to pick someone to paint for your life, who would you pick?”

“What do you mean, paint for my life?”

“Well, if you were gonna be killed by someone unless . . .”

“Unless what?”

“Well, unless someone did a great painting to stop them.”

“Why would that stop them?”

“Well, they’re art lovers.”

“The would-be killers?”

“Yes.”

“And unless some artist does a great painting, they’ll kill me?”

“Exactly.”

“And does the artist have to be alive now?”

“No, they can be from any period.”

“However that works - some dead painter will do a great painting and my life could be saved”

“Just go with it? Who would you pick?”

“Caravaggio.”

“Interesting. It might work.”

“Thanks.”

Hot

Hot on the heels of Deep State Cabal’s new single, We Are Not a Criminal Syndicate, Fake News Shitstorm have also a new release on the horizon, We Are Not the Propaganda Wing of the Criminal Syndicate. There is a b-side: It Hurts Our Feelings When You Question Our Integrity.

All Our Children

 

Just in case that’s hard to see, ‘Washington State Democrats voted not to inform parents if a child is sexually abused by a school employee.”

There isn’t much to add in terms of the nature and vested interests of these kind of people - either stupid to a point hard to conceive of, or abusers themselves, or of a mindset, or ideology, in favour of abuse. One other thing, boring though as this road may be, is that in leftist ideology, as it deepens, the state owns everything including its people, and the family is one of the important facets of society to undermine, so that there are no mixed allegiances. And so the parents in this framework are not a consideration in any positive sense. Thus the meaning, beneath the superficial warmth, of the following words spoken, though almost certainly not written, by Joe Biden that: 

“There’s no such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children.”

 So the parents are just other people who, because they’re not their children, can be kept uninformed if their children are sexually abused by school employees.
