2009: Year of Crisis

Michael O’Meara

            "Prepare to fight to the finish, or your kind will vanish."

In the last year, one crisis has followed another. First there was a housing mortgage crisis, then a liquidity crisis that led to a banking crisis, then a dollar crisis, then a credit crisis, then a geopolitical crisis, then an energy crisis, then a crisis of consumer confidence, and finally a political crisis at the highest level of the state, involving a crisis of meaning that brought a negro to power—a negro symbolizing everything against which the American once defined himself, and thus symbolizing a transvaluation of the very basis of the American's original being.

­­The burning question today is: are these cascading crises "conjunctural" (i.e., due to a combination of circumstances) or are they "structural" (inherent to the system's nature)? If the latter, then the "American System," which has governed the world since 1945 and which has programmed the end of European man, faces a potentially systemic rupture whose implications are catastrophic. If only conjunctural, the news is still good, for it cannot but highlight the system's anti-white nature, of which most white Americans are still clueless. [More]
