People are rejecting the “experts” and globalism and the Financial Times is horrified. From the staff at thedailybell.com:
Global disorder: from Donald Trump to the South China Sea … The belligerence of domestic politics is spilling on to the world stage … Take a harder look and some uncomfortable patterns emerge: rising nationalism, identity politics, disdain for institutions and a fracturing of the rules-based international system. Governments have lost control, and citizens faith. The belligerence in domestic politics spills over on to the global stage. This is not quite a Hobbesian world but the direction of travel is evident. –Financial Times
The elite’s controlling propaganda is failing.
This article that appeared recently in the Financial Times is a perfect summary of both elite memes and their increasing malfunction.
Here’s the crux paragraph:
The populist credo replaces patriotism with nationalism and promotes contempt for traditional institutions. Anyone styled an “expert” is in cahoots with the elites. Everyone has a right to produce their own “facts”.
You see? The misinformation is not being gratefully received anymore. We’ve pointed them out in the past, HERE:
Brexit Politics: Elites Set Up New Conflict Between Populism and Globalism as Chaos Looms …
Did we ever think we would see the day when the New York Times would willingly acknowledge a battle over globalization? And it not just the New York Times.
The mainstream media usually doesn’t acknowledge globalism as an issue. Like central banking it is simply asserted as a fact, as natural as the air we breathe.
But now all of a sudden we are finding out it is a policy after all – something made by the hand of man and not descended from on high. And thus what may be a new dominant social trend: Globalism versus Populism.
And HERE we covered the especially obnoxious meme of the “expert.”
Now here’s an interesting reversal. A Bloomberg editorial that blows up a powerful dominant social theme …
The technocrat is the white knight of the modern age, going wherever the need for his services is the most acute. Such technocrats rarely fail, according to the mainstream media.
Or when they do, it’s not reported. The emergent international state is to build on corporatism and be populated by technocratic experts.
The FT graf goes on to mention the following:
Big business, the banks, globalisation — call it what you will — are the enemy of the white working classes.
The rise of populism and contempt for experts, according to the Financial Times, is leading to active dislike for big business, the banks and globalization.
We too have problems with populism. But as we’ve pointed out, globalism is being set up as an alternative to populism.
Western elites obviously have in mind contrasting the smooth technocracy of globalism with the raucous simplifications of populism in order to make a case for continued, robust internationalism.
The “expert” meme is part of this larger, putative, pitiful celebration. Technocratic experts march hand-in-hand with globalists to create a better, “new” world.
Experts are a bottom-line necessity because they support central banking. If one grants that foretelling the future is impossible, then central banking itself becomes unjustifiable.
Central banking provides the war-chest for globalism. Without the ability to print money at will, internationalism is de-funded.
And yet … there are no experts. Or not ones that can foretell the future. Sorry.
