The Crisis Report - 102
The actions taken in the first weeks of the Trump Presidency have made the future absolutely clear.

The Elite think the ENDGAME is NOW.
Alan Moore is a prophet.
If you aren't familiar with his work you are missing out on some of the best “graphic novels” of the 20th century. If you only know this work from the mediocre 2005 movie adaptation.

Then you don’t really know it at all. He foresaw the current moment and describes it perfectly in his novel.
In the novel, an environmental crisis set off by a nuclear war has shattered the world order and plunged Britain into chaos. There is famine, there is massive privation, and most importantly there is a breakdown in law and order. People are hungry, confused, and afraid.
So, when an organization emerges that has a “narrative” explaining the collapse of the old world hAND promises to RESTORE ORDER again. Well, people flock to it.
Their explanation, is that England’s collapse is due to “moral corruption”. Because “unclean elements” had been allowed to flourish in society as a result of “soft headed” and “traitorous” Liberals. It’s basically a simple, straightforward message that “G-D” has punished us for straying from the path of righteousness and listening to degenerates with their “liberal ideas” that led people to turn away from “God’s Laws”.
However, in this blandly moralistic statement lies “death camps” and genocide. Just like in the language the MAGAts are using today. Language that sounds blandly reasonable and vaguely principled as it describes horrors to come.
SEE, when you read “doublespeak” language like this, you have to know how to decode it. In Moore’s novel it helps to understand that the “unclean elements” are ALL the “non-white” people who had immigrated to England.
Trump plans to invoke obscure 18th century wartime law in bid for mass deportations
Trump is set to test the limits of his immigration crackdown by invoking a wartime law to deport immigrants alleged to… - www.reuters.com
“After taking office, Trump ordered military and immigration officials to be ready by Feb. 3 to implement the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, last used to justify internment camps for people of Japanese, German and Italian descent during World War Two. The move — which would almost certainly face legal challenges — could allow him to bypass due process rights and rapidly remove migrants.”
But to make it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR that this is about RACISM, Trump offered “asylum to racist White South Africans” who are being “persecuted”.

The MAGAts aren’t against immigration. They just don’t want any more “colored” people to come here. They cannot be any more clear about who the “unclean elements” are.
It helps to know that the “new party” that gains control of society is named “Norsefire” and is a WHITE Supremacist party.
Trump doubles down on immigrant 'blood' remark, says he 'never read Mein Kampf'
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday doubled down on his widely criticized comments about immigration by suggesting… - www.nbcnews.com
Trump State Department official has repeatedly called for mass sterilization of 'low-IQ trash'
Darren Beattie previously served as a speechwriter for Trump, but he was fired in 2018 after he spoke at a conference… - www.yahoo.com
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has appointed Darren Beattie to be the acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs, a senior role that represents American foreign policy to the world.
In May 2024, Beattie wrote on X: “Population control? If only!”
He writes
“Higher quality humans are subsidizing the fertility of lower quality humans,” he added, calling it the “Foundational reality of social and political life in the post-war West.”
“The hierarchy of taboos is interesting. The horrific practice of 2nd trimester abortion is legal in some places and well within Overton window of public discourse. But idea of offering feral populations financial incentives for voluntary sterilization is completely taboo.”
And just to make it clear which color people he thinks are ‘low quality’.
In October of that year, he responded to a video of people in a neighborhood in Atlanta, saying:
“When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control. Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).”
This “openly RACIST” white man has been appointed as Acting Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs. A SENIOR role that represents American foreign policy to the world.
It helps to know that the “moral corruption” they are talking about is actually “race mixing” and the social tolerance of homosexuals and trans individuals.
Opinion | Just how racist is the MAGA movement? This survey measures it.
The right refuses to give up its victimhood mentality. - www.washingtonpost.com
“Trump on Tuesday doubled down on his widely criticized comments about immigration by suggesting that people crossing the border illegally into the United States are “destroying the blood of our country.””
In May of 2023 Beattie wrote on X that
“It’s not politically correct to say, but low-IQ, low-impulse control populations lack higher reasoning and moral faculties — -they require strict corporal punishment and threat of violence to function properly within a society.”
Gee, I wonder which “populations” he is referring to?
Rubio still has enough of a soul to feel shame about appointing Mr. Beattie to a State Department position of power. He felt enough shame to make it clear that Mr. Beattie was a “Trump Appointee” stating that,
“Beattie was chosen for the post by the Trump transition team.”
6 ways Trump's executive orders are targeting transgender people
President Donald Trump has targeted transgender and nonbinary people with a series of executive orders since he… - www.pbs.org
“In one executive order, he asserted “medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex.””
SO, very predictably. When a WHITE Supremacist, Christofascist, group of Techno Bro’s (did I mention that their Great Leader worships an AI) takes power by playing on people’s racism, xenophobia, desperation, and confusion BAD SHIT happens.
Moore wrote this novel in response to Thatcherism in the mid-80’s. “Conservative Values” and practices NEVER change.
Since Franco, Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin it’s practically become the “playbook” for how to take over a society. If you want to go further back, it’s the same process Athens and Rome underwent as they changed from “democratic” societies to “Imperial” societies.
Fascism comes in many flavors but it’s always the same story.
A small group of “Elites”, who justify their right to rule with various ideologies and political “isms”, control every aspect of society. They treat everyone not in a small “specialist class” as livestock, serfs, and sub-human. Orwell describes life under fascism in his classic “1984”. Another book I suspect will be “memory holed” if the MAGAts hold onto power long enough.
The “Conservative Elites” are making an ENDGAME play. They are acting as if THERE WILL BE NO FUTURE CONSEQUENCES for their actions. That’s a “Clear and Present Danger” signal.
One of the best things I read recently was this piece by Arlan L. on Substack.
The Death of An Empire comes Swift and Mercilessly.
Trump: Lightning Rod & Whipping Boy For A Blatant Coup. - liminalworld.substack.com
I think it captures the reality of the moment perfectly. He writes.
“Virtually everything which has been done in the past two weeks has been varying degrees of illegal, from “oh yeah, pretty illegal” right up to “this is so fucking illegal we can’t even put it into words, because something this illegal happening was considered to be outside of the realm of imagination”.
“What happens next?
Certainly, we can speculate on some almost-guaranteed near term outcomes of current policy trends this week: a hard crash of the US stock market, rapid devaluation of the US Dollar, potential default on US Treasuries payments. The continued disassembly of critical federal agencies, knocking out the support pillars of the government with a bulldozer.”
“WHO DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO STOP THEM?”
“The judicial system? The judicial system is already mostly captured, folks, and if you think the law is going to save your ass I think you do not understand that when somebody wants to destroy a country as fast as possible from the highest levels, they don’t care what the law says.”
“We are experiencing a very calculated attempt to end our nation, who the fuck cares about “the laws” when they’re playing that game?”
After the last few weeks, there should be NO DOUBT in anyone's mind about what’s happening. The 1%, their enablers, and their “hangers-on” are attempting to take over America by coup.
They are allied with the White Christofascists, White Neo-Nazi’s, White Militias, White Antiabortion Zealots, MAGA voting, 2 out of 3 WHITE Americans. The same coalition Reagan mobilized in the 80's.
Betrayed is a 1988 American spy thriller film directed by Costa-Gavras, written by Joe Eszterhas, and starring Debra Winger and Tom Berenger. The plot is roughly based upon the terrorist activities of American neo-Nazi and white supremacist Robert Mathews and his group “The Order”. -wikipedia
Debra Winger plays an FBI agent who infiltrates a Right Wing Militia group in Iowa. One where parents “home school” their kids and teach them to “harbor hate against Jews and colored people”. One where they want to start a “race war” by dressing up as cops and cruising through black neighborhoods shooting people at random.
Good times, the “Reagan 80's”.
FYI- THAT was a REAL plan by Mathews and his group.
This isn’t a “NEW thing”, this sudden manifestation of WHITE racism and racial grievance. America has been RACIST for a LONG time. What's new, is that this time they think they can “win”.
This time the 1% are throwing their support in fully with the “White Supremacist Christofascists”. Just like in Spain, Italy, and Germany the “Titian’s of Industry” are throwing their lot in with the fascists. They are putting ALL their chips on the line for one roll of the dice.
What's happening now in America is a “win or die” turn of the cards for the MAGAts and the Billionaire 1% Class that owns about 90% of EVERYTHING.
Almost everything they are doing now is blatantly unlawful, illegal, and even criminal. If they don’t win, many of them will probably end their days in federal prisons. This is an INCREDIBLY RISKY move for both the MAGAts and the 1%’ers.
They are acting like they will NEVER be held to account for what they are doing. They are acting like there will NEVER BE ELECTIONS that they might lose, EVER again.
Which, considering that there should be a “mid-term” election in just two years, means that they expect to FULLY consolidate their power in just two years.
That’s an AGGRESSIVE timetable. So aggressive, that it risks “pushback” by the military and agencies of state. So aggressive, that it will impoverish many of their supporters and cause MASSIVE domestic unrest and resistance by multiple states.
SO. You have to ask yourself two questions.
“Why are they risking EVERYTHING now?”
And.
“Why act in such an aggressive timeframe?”
It doesn't make a lot of sense.
Until you consider what’s happening with the Climate System. Until you consider that the world order might be on the verge of COLLAPSE.
What the global elite reveal to Davos sex workers
EXCLUSIVE: Salome Balthus, 40, is a high-end escort and author from Berlin who has travelled to Davos, Switzerland, to… - www.dailymail.co.uk
“Wealthy ‘know the world is doomed, so may as well go out with a bang’”
Salome Balthus, 40, is an author from Berlin who finances her artistic efforts with yearly trips to Davos Switzerland during the annual gathering of the global elite. There she is an extremely well paid “high end” escort.
This year she discussed what she saw and heard during the event.
“The elephant in the room is climate change. Everyone knows it can’t be prevented any more.”
She said, adding that the ‘super rich’ could generally be split into two groups on the topic.
“One group thinks it only affects the poor, the “not-white races”, while the others fear that it could get worse but there’s no sense in trying to do anything about it so they just enjoy themselves.”
‘The one half is in despair and the other, dumber, half is celebrating future mass deaths. It’s not just like that in Davos of course, but it’s concentrated there.”
Salome elaborated that some of the uber wealthy people fitting into the first group were saying that those in third world countries ‘might all die but us in the North, we’re fine’.
She said: ‘They say that in a democracy you have to sell it, to lie to people and tell them “we didn’t know better and didn’t think it would get this bad.”
‘Then there’s the other group that thinks it might not be so easy, maybe it will also affect them due to unforeseeable chain reactions.”
‘But they say they can’t do anything against the others so they live following the mantra “after us, the deluge”.
‘They say they will enjoy a few more nice years on earth and know that there’s no future. They are very cynical and somehow deeply sad.’
Salome said topics like this come up at a bar, sauna or hotel lobby, especially if people already had a few drinks.
“Every now and then I tease this topic and they will comment, after which I can make my own sense of it. Of course, that only works if the person is drunk late in the evening and talking to someone at the bar, then that’s what happens.”
Now, you can decide for yourself how “reliable” a source you consider Ms. Balthus but consider this. She has graduate degrees in Philosophy and German literature. She works for a feminist escort agency in Berlin, Hetaera, and a weekend costs clients £5,000, while a two-hour tete-a-tete starts at about £850.
She is a sophisticated, highly educated, and highly intelligent individual who in Switzerland is working in a legal, highly regulated, profession. She has access to some of the most powerful people on the planet, the 1% and for the most part they treat her like furniture.
“They just see me as an object and don’t think about the fact that I’m also thinking when they’re with me.”
I find her report to be highly creditable.

Let me present a “worst case” climate scenario to you. -
This warming is starting to make “food experts” VERY nervous.

Extreme weather events are expected to lead to volatile food prices throughout 2025, supply chain analysts have said, after cocoa and coffee prices more than doubled over the past year.
In an apparent confirmation of warnings that climate breakdown could lead to food shortages, research by the consultancy Inverto found steep rises in the prices of a number of food commodities in the year to January that correlated with unexpected weather.

In a recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers used a large-dimensional computational model to investigate the effects of heat and water stress on global food security and food production.
Their results indicate that by 2050, food production worldwide could decline by up to 14%, with an increase of up to 1.36 billion people experiencing severe levels of food insecurity, highlighting the critical need for addressing water and heat stress in climate change policies.
FYI- When studies like this say “by 2050” that means “at +2°C of warming”. The mainstream climate models being used typically show warming reaching +2°C around 2050 if “net-zero” isn’t reached before then. We are actually on track to reach +2°C of warming by 2035. AT THE LATEST.

These are the places where the first wave of famines are projected to hit in a +2°C world. Do you think this could be why the 1% think that “the poor, the “not-white races” are going to be the ones most affected by mass starvation in the near future?
This is something that has happened before. Between 1870 to 1900 about 10% of the world's population starved to death due to “climate change” and the exploitation of that situation by the WHITE 20% to cement their colonial power.
Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World by Mike Davis (2000)
If you have never heard of the “Late Victorian Holocausts’” that’s because they don’t get a lot of mention in Western schoolbooks. The book’s main conclusion is that the deaths of an estimated 100 million people (about 10% of the world’s population) killed in famines all over the world during the latter part of the 19th century. Were caused by the laissez-faire and Malthusian economic ideologies of colonial governments.
We may not remember these episodes in the West. About 10% of the world’s population died as a result of what we did. We don’t want to teach our kids about it. It’s the kind of thing that might make White kids feel guilty.
They have not forgotten about this in the rest of the world.

The global population could easily shrink by 2 Billion over the next 10 years. But this isn’t the late 19th century. These victims of climate change, mostly caused by Europe and the US aren’t going to quietly “die in place”. No matter how hard we try to make mass migration and movement impossible for the poor and starving.
The rest of the world is about to come knocking at our door.
They ARE going to blame us for this and they are right to do so. Which may be why the MAGAts are saying “America First” and are shutting down our agencies to feed the hungry around the world.

As clear a signal as possible that the US is abandoning decades of foreign policy commitments and RETREATING into “fortress America”. Literally “abandoning” the American Empire that huge portions of our economy are built upon.
For “no clear reason”.
The next few years are going to be “interesting”.
This is my analysis.
This is what I see.
This is my “Crisis Report”.

Thank you
'It Can't Happen Here' was a book written in the 1930s by Sinclair Lewis. I listened to the audio drama and it is frighteningly close to current USA. 'Death of Grass' a book written in the 1950s by John Christopher I think could also be prophetic. I listened to the audio which is also good.
You know that I respect you, Richard, but what's your point? Actually, the recent James Hansen et.al. paper on climate change includes the C3S data: global ave. surface temps have increased 0.4 degC in just the past 2 yrs., so 0.2 degC annually, which takes us to the very troubling 3 degC increase over the 1991-2020 baseline by 2032 and the existential 6 degC by 2047, the year that any child unfortunate enough to be born today turns 22, or not. Davos us disgusting. To save the potential children otherwise being born daily, 108,000 net, we can join the prescient American 18-50 yo's who have sworn off reproducing, according to a recent PEW Survey. As for the Mad King Tramp and his Muskrat, with his MAGATS, they may just be a lost cause, like the lemmings pouring by the millions into the oceans when their numbers become unsustainable. How very selfish of humans for not considering the future we've created for our offspring, or not. Have a blessed evening.
