WESTERN ELITE HYSTERIA & EPSTEIN: QUESTIONS OF BALANCE
A major upheaval is occurring across the West. Its elites are waging a war to maintain global dominance but have been catastrophically undermined in their home domain, unbalancing the entire project.
There is an enormous amount of psychological disturbance in the western world currently.
This begs many questions. Two of them are examined below.
What is the primary source of the continuing levels of hysteria within the western elite establishment?
Clearly their long held dominance across many fields of endeavor, from the economic to the financial to the sheer ability to wield power is under threat of eclipse. China in particular has emerged as a rival power to that of the USA, the primary bastion of western power. The implications for the USA and its allies in the West are clearly vast. The rise of China and others puts into question whether the standard of living of those in the West which have been to now largely supported by the dominance that is now eroding. The implicit promise to western taxpayers is that their standard of living will always rise. Onward and always upward could be said to be the West’s general motto. But what if instead it is others, previously relatively impoverished that are now moving onward and upward?
The psychological disturbance among the western elites which the slide in western fortunes stimulated in them has caused them, in a major way, to radicalize their approach to the world. In their desperation they began to drop most policies emphasizing everyday relationship-building diplomacy, taking on new policies where diplomacy was used as a weapon of subversion. This is is the world we live in now. A world where the West is at war with its chief rivals in a struggle to maintain its dominance and so keep its populations in the manner to which they are accustomed, on an ever upward path.
What effect does the Jeffrey Epstein scandal have on the western elite power structure?
Jeffrey Epstein had access to an extraordinarily large range of western elites. It is unlikely that the true breadth of his influence or the scope of the project he was involved in will ever be fully known. Epstein clearly had an almost hypnotic appeal to wide swathes of intellectual, political, technological and academic influencers, opinion leaders and gatekeepers. These highly influential people not only kept in close contact with him but clearly regarded him as someone quite exceptional and most appeared to enjoy his company as a friend. So far no one has come close to being able to explain the extraordinary influence this man had on all these individuals who were some of the primary influencers in their fields themselves.
The effect of Epstein’s downfall is to bring all the western elites under his sway or at any rate closely connected to him under suspicion. The grand edifice of western propaganda toward the rest of the world that the West is best, most honest, most upright, decent and good, has been brought severely into question. Just how far does the rot at the top go? How much gross deception and myth making was and is behind this facade of universal probity, decency and concern for others that fed and feeds into the notion that the West and the only West alone must be dominant so it can police the world? The Epstein scandal throws this whole sophisticated global conditioning strategy into terminal doubt.
