not a conflict between the United States and Russia, or the United States and China; these are conflicts about the nature of governance

There is the Chinese proverb or saying that goes "May you live in interesting times."  In that sense we have all massively locked out, you know, in the sense that we are living at a crossroads that is going to change human societies irreversibly.  We are coming to a close on the continuity of a system that you might trace back to 4 or 500 years ago, or you might trace it back to about 3,000 years depending on how you wish define it, but basically for the last 4 or 500 years we had the unchallenged Primacy of the West in the world so Western Powers controlled and dominated global trade and global finance from the time of The Venetian Empire across to the Lombard banking in Italy then to Spain and its conquest of Central and South America, and then the Dutch Empire, and the British Empire.  And now the British Empire, who about a hundred years ago crossed the ocean and infiltrated the governing systems of the United States, helped itself to the American military, political, diplomatic powers, and the American wealth to continue building its empire.  It's . . . I think this continuity of empire is coming to an end it's a system of governance it's easy to look at events today and think oh it's United States or Ukraine against Russia; it's the United States versus China; it's Israel versus the Palestinians and the Syrians; India versus Pakistan there is all these crises fault lines all over the world but I was just last week at a presentation by Kurt Volker who was the U.S. ambassador to Nato and he was delivering a presentation titled, "What We Learned in Ukraine Over the Last 18 Months of War."  To my mind one of the most important things he said was "that this conflict is really about the nature of governance."  This is what he said.  "It's a clash of two systems.  It's a class between democracies and autocracies."  And he explained this like the autocracies, authoritarian regimes, treat their people like subjects, whereas democracies treat people like citizens.  In fact, what he was saying is exactly what George Soros also said in his 2021 speech to the World Economic Forum gathering at Davos in Switzerland.  So basically this is right, this is correct.  This is not a conflict between the United States and Russia, or the United States and China, or any localized nation versus nation conflict, this is really a conflict between two systems of governance.  And even though people like Soros and Volker present this as the good guys versus all the autocrats and despots around the world.  That's not really what it is.  The Western world has been dominated for centuries by a occult oligarchies that have grown up around the international banking cartel and the multinational corporations that they support.  So basically it's who not only the world is up against, but also, even if they don't know it, it's the populations of Western European which hides behind the facade of democracy.  So you get a Democracy where you get to choose a republican Congress or a Republican president, and after 4 years or 6 years you're not happy then you get to choose the Democrat ones.  In the UK, it's the Tories versus Labor.  In every country is more or less the same thing where you think you're going to change something by voting somebody out or somebody in, but in the end by some black magic for decades and decades, we keep getting things that we reject like war, crises, poverty, crime, uncontrolled immigration, a collapse of the healthcare system, decay of our infrastructure; we keep getting that.  Though on the other hand, we never seem to get what we do want: safe streets, good jobs, good education, parks, libraries, hospitals,
