In the West, also known as the “World Community,” mediocrity reigns supreme everywhere and at all levels. Not only in the arts, but everywhere, from politics to science, from education to business. The fact that mediocrity has become the norm everywhere, is proof that all institutions have become over-organized.

It is plain for everyone to see that more loosely organized businesses and institutions require more highly qualified, more independent-minded functionaries at the medium and higher levels. After all, they need to make decisions that do justice to both the needs of the moment and the broader objectives of the organization. Actually, that subtle balance between the generic and the specific gives organizations their strength and flexibility and the power to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. It is what made the German army superior in 1870, 1914 and 1939-40, namely the principle of Auftragstaktik (mission tactics), as opposed to the Befehlstaktik (command tactics) prevalent in the opposing English and French armies, according to which every single detail of a given order needs to be fulfilled.

The stricter the organization, the more precise, detailed the orders from above and the more limited the responsibilities at each level. This means less room for maneuver and improvisation for everyone between the highest level and the rank and file. As a result, all big organizations (always difficult to move) in the West have become quite sluggish. This includes government ministries, the armed forces, national authorities, business corporations, universities, NGOs, everything. The required capabilities of middle and higher staff in all these organizations are quite a bit lower than they were one or two generations ago. Today, such people need to know less, have less of a broad education, less specific professional expertise and can make do with an IQ of around 100.

In the US, the educational system has long been turning out people that are just right: to do as they are told, to carry out specific orders, to not ask questions and certainly without thinking for themselves. Almost a quarter century ago, Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt published The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, an analysis of the coordinated breaking down of the US educational system. Now it is plain for all to see why the previous quality standards were demolished. The same recipe has also been applied in the US vassal states in Europe. Moronic programs such as “New Math” have resulted in a widespread, elementary stupidity in the West. That is the reason why math departments all over the West began to get flooded with students from places where traditional math was still being taught, namely China, India and Iran. Although New Math has been thrown by the wayside, the havoc it has wrought is still plaguing many Western nations, and may help to explain why research funds spent in China and India yield more than elsewhere. It certainly is a factor in the rise to prominence of industry in those nations.

The systematic, planned demolition of education in the West has opened the door for the mass appointment of people who just a few years ago would never have been able to apply for the jobs they are now getting. With the great numbers of boys and girls graduating in business management, management, journalism, law, political science and other “social sciences,” it is obvious that detailed, specialized knowledge of most technical and hard disciplines is becoming a rarity. Whereas before, some basic general knowledge would be a requirement, the graduates in all those “soft” disciplines lack even that.

Enter people like US Vice President Kamala Harris and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. It is embarrassing and actually shameful to see that they are just plain stupid and incapable of formulating a meaningful sentence. Enter all the unqualified “People of Color,” women and transgenders, appointed solely on the basis of their being colored, female, sexually deviant or whatever. A lack of specialized and general knowledge, the inability to think clearly, the lack of a conscience, self-respect, a spinal column are no impediments, since all they need to do is carry out orders.

Although the West prides itself on the wide range of civil and personal liberties supposedly underpinning all of its political, social and economic organizations and businesses, in fact the opposite is the case. During the eight decades of domestic peace after the end of the Second World War, all institutions have become increasingly centralized, to the point where today all key decisions are made at the top level with only the scantiest input from below.

The system of centralized decision making in the West has now become so all-pervasive that it is leading to a kind of legitimacy crisis. Although centralized decision-making is most often determined by the imperative to make money and to increase power, it seems that ideology is getting in the way. This happened when the Budweiser company began to use a transgender in an advertising campaign, which led to a steep decline in sales and serious financial losses. Disney has lost a quarter of global subscriptions due to its pushing the trans agenda just a little too hard. In politics, most Western “democracies,” in lockstep with the directives from the Washington regime, are increasingly being seen for what they really are: elaborate clown shows. The MSM everywhere are no longer being taken seriously by growing numbers of citizens who are indignant at having been duped for just too long.

It is becoming clearer by the day that the West and a great part of the world are ruled by a small group of ruthless individuals. It is hard to identify exactly who belongs to this group and it is likely that those whom we see and who pronounce bold statements are not really in charge. The likes of Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab. Anybody can see these are rather average men: not very intelligent and without any superior knowledge or intellectual achievements. However, they pretend to be philanthropists, “people lovers,” and as such they think they have a right to tell us what we should think and do. They want us to own nothing, to eat bugs and lab meat instead of real meat, to mask up, take poisonous jabs and actually to stop breathing because exhaling produces carbon dioxide, which is good for plants but “bad for the planet.” Actually, those people lovers want to kill many of us. What they want is a world government where they and their cronies are calling the shots.

That sounds a lot like the ideals first put forward in 1789 by François Boissel (1728-1807), the French Jacobin and early communist in his Catéchisme du genre humain (Catechism of the Human Race), where he said that private property, religion and marriage needed to be abolished. These ideas were later espoused by others, such as Henri de Saint-Simon and Karl Marx.

Today’s elite socialists who are trying to bring these antiquated ideas into practice, share the belief that they are unique individuals, entitled to determine the lives of the rest of us. They are doing what they can to take over agriculture and cattle-farming from independent farmers, to expropriate land and housing, even to block the sun and to make life miserable for the hoi polloi. As a matter of fact, they are kings already, but want to be God.

Nevertheless, they dislike the prying eyes of the public and therefore have decided to impose an even stricter censorship wherever they can. Philanthropy does not want publicity. Google is now on full censorship mode and Youtube and Facebook have also further tightened the screws. In the EU, a new draconian internet censorship is about to be rolled out.

In the short run, such measures may seem effective, but the crime syndicate that is running the show does not seem to realize that once censorship is introduced, it will need to be made ever more rigorous. Where will this end? Do the Kings of Crime realize that in order to be complete and all-pervasive, censorship must abolish speech and language altogether, Then there will only be sign language, which by its very nature is even more difficult to censor.

Nor do the Crime Kings like humor and they have been quite busy destroying it everywhere they find it. This in itself is an interesting phenomenon, for on a theoretical level they are apparently aware there is such a thing as humor, but they clearly have no sense of humor, which is further proof of their lack of intelligence. The war on humor is fought on two fronts, namely by the fight against “hate speech” and the insistent demand for “safe space.”

So far the war on humor has been rather successful, because too few people realize that politicians such as Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron and Vladimir Zelenski are no more than walking and talking jokes who, instead of being taken seriously, should only be loudly laughed at. Whatever they say and do, how they carry themselves, is absolutely ridiculous. In a broader sense it means that the states they represent have put them in a leadership position as mere figureheads and that those states are in fact being lead by other people or entities.

It would seem the Crime Kings are fundamentally unaware of what they are doing. They apparently lack some basic human characteristics such as a sense of humor and a conscience. Not content with the power they have, they want more and more and actually seem to think they are God.

They are very much like Nabucco from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera (1841) with the same name, the King of Babylon who sings in act II: Non son più re, son dio (I am King no longer! I am God!), whereupon he is struck by a thunderbolt, loses his crown and his mind and falls on the floor. Eventually this clears the path for the return of the exiled Jews to their homeland and the recovery of their liberty.

Apparently neither Bill Gates, nor Klaus Schwab, nor any of their brothers in crime has ever watched Nabucco.

Good for the rest of us!
