On White Supremacy<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Our generation has a privileged ringside view of the death struggles of White Supremacy. The twin legacies of the western Enlightenment \u2013 Rationalism and Humanism \u2013 are melting before our eyes, like the steel frames of New York\u2019s Twin Towers did on 9\/11; the Liberal Order that served to mask White Supremacy\u2019s rapaciousness is crumbling. The US-led NATO\u2019s policy mandarins are trapped in Imperialism\u2019s necessary drive to expand economic markets and seek out resource rich and strategically located territories; their ideological blinkers block lessons from the string of military defeats in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Unsurprisingly they are throwing good money after bad in Israel and Ukraine gambling on a favourable outcome; they are emasculating, if not jettisoning, the post-WW2 international legal regime \u2013 Humanitarian Laws and Geneva Conventions \u2013 and the associated institutions \u2013 the ICJ and ICC \u2013 that stand in the way of their savage lunge to salvage the failing western domination.<\/p>\n

White Supremacy took root in the Americas around five centuries ago during the early European mercantile empires of Portugal and Spain and spread under subsequent European colonialisms. The British empire entrenched White Supremacy while the European colonial plunder (Primitive Accumulation, in the Marxian lexicon) nourished Eric Hobsbawm\u2019s Dual Revolutions \u2013 French Political and British Industrial \u2013 from the late 18th<\/sup><\/span> to mid-19th<\/sup><\/span> Centuries that contributed scientific breakthroughs, seminal social and political thought and artistic achievements. They are the main vectors that shifted the global economic and, with it, the political centres of gravity from Asia to Western Europe for the first time about three centuries ago. Before the dawn of the 18th<\/sup><\/span> Century the civilizational centres of gravity were located in and around primarily the River Valleys of Nile, Indus, Vaigai and Huang He rivers where civilisations grew and flourished for many millennia.<\/p>\n

At the end of the 1st<\/sup><\/span> WW, after the Entente Powers dislodged and carved up the Muslim Ottoman Empire by drawing the Sykes-Picot lines in the sand, the momentum of European social advances partially spilled over to strengthen the rapidly expanding United States empire. The empire, fattened over a century on the colonial extraction in Latin America and the Caribbean under the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, inherited the West\u2019s primacy in the inter-war period and beyond.<\/p>\n

The anti-colonial revolutions in the second half of the 20th<\/sup><\/span> Century won political independence in most former colonies and began dragging the global political centre of gravity back toward Asia and Africa. The newly independent States constitute the vast majority of UN\u2019s member-states \u2013 193 in 2025, quickly up from 51 in 1945. The militarily weakened, resource poor European colonial powers, having lost most colonies, adjusted to neo-colonialism: British imperialism camouflaged itself as the British Commonwealth and French imperialism rebranded as the CFA Franc System.<\/p>\n

The US White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) ruling class leveraged the military umbrella it extended within NATO to keep afloat European neo-colonialism swiftly replaced the fading European colonisers at the top of West\u2019s imperial pecking order. Its power peaked when the last challenger standing, the Soviet empire, imploded, the Warsaw Pact shredded and Socialism retreated in 1989-91. The WASP elite\u2019s Cold War victory over USSR\u2019s Slavic ruling class positioned it at the pinnacle of a US-dominated unipolar moment in the first decade of the 1990s that appeared to vindicate the assumed Manifest Destiny.<\/p>\n

A Manifest Destiny?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The predominantly British settler colonialists or \u201cPilgrim Fathers\u201d, bent on their rapacious land grab and mass murder of indigenous American Indians in the 13 Colonies, had avidly devoured their ideologue John L. O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s 1845 pseudo-scientific, divinely ordained \u201ctheory\u201d of Manifest Destiny of the Anglo-Saxon race, or Christian Zionism that sanctified land expropriation, rape, slaughter and genocide of the pre-colonial so-called \u201csavages\u201d. After the US Civil War the racist venom lubricated settler colonialists\u2019 conquering juggernaut that barrelled westward, robbing vast swaths of the Spanish-conquered lands of the Mayan Civilization and virtually obliterating most North American Indian Nations (the Apache, Sioux, Navajo<\/span> and others), to deeply root the US settler colony. The destruction was both official and systematic. The settler colonial regime and the military periodically criminalised the Indian Nations\u2019 Resistance to forced assimilation, land theft and violence by proclaiming them by law as \u201chostiles\u201d, which designated them as enemies who could and were eliminated without mercy.<\/p>\n

The brutal settler colonialism did not spare even children. Under the US government\u2019s Indian Boarding School Policy, <\/span>officials \u201cforcibly abducted\u201d and spirited countless obviously screaming American Indian and Alaskan Native children<\/span> away from their no doubt weeping Indian mothers and effectively incarcerated them in \u201c526 government-funded, and often church-run, Indian boarding schools<\/span><\/a> <\/span>across the U.S. in the 19th<\/sup><\/span> and 20th<\/sup><\/span> Centuries.\u201d The stated aim was to\u00a0\u201cKill the Indian, Save the Man\u201d: <\/span>cultural genocide or ethnocide. The children were severely punished for speaking their mother tongue and invariably physically and sexually abused; the US government has yet to account for vast majority of disappeared children.<\/span> As recently as 1925 there were at least 60,000 children in the so-called \u201cschools\u201d. The fates of Canada\u2019s Inuit<\/span><\/a><\/span> and Australia\u2019s Aborigines<\/span><\/a><\/span> are not very different.<\/p>\n

The tragedy of enslaved African-Americans is well known.<\/p>\n

Almost in parallel Britain\u2019s Herbert Spencer corrupted Charles Darwin\u2019s theory of biological natural selection into the racial formulation of \u201cSocial Darwinism\u201d and claimed the \u201csuperior\u201d white Anglo-Saxon race inevitably reached the social evolutionary pinnacle, leaving in its wake the \u201cinferior\u201d coloured races. His \u201ctheory\u201d infused ideological legitimacy to Britain\u2019s colonial plunder on a near global scale. The corrosive poisonous mix of Christian Zionism and Social Darwinism spread to other settler colonies in the Anglosphere and similarly devastated the pre-colonial Nations in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

The rise of Social Darwinism in the context of US predatory capitalism, unmediated by pre-capitalist values of collective living, pitted all against all; it blinded settler colonialists from recognising that we exist within relationships in society. The mental block is evocatively captured by the denigration \u201che is a loser\u201d, a common refrain directed at rare individuals who courageously express civilised values of compassion and tolerance among the descendants of US settler colonialists.<\/p>\n

The ruing classes of Europe\u2019s colonial powers eagerly imbibed Spencer\u2019s social racism underpinned by the pseudo-scientific racism of Eugenics, invented by Britain\u2019s Francis Galton; together with Manifest Destiny, the three cultural fabrications disgorged the fourth, the Master Race \u201ctheory\u201d of European Fascism, let loose by Italy\u2019s Benito Mussolini and perfected by Germany\u2019s self-professed Aryan Nazis. Their deep and persisting influence oozed from the analogy the EU\u2019s High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy (Josep Borell) drew in 2022: \u201cEurope is a garden\u201d he said<\/span><\/a><\/span>; \u201cMost of the rest of the world is a jungle. The jungle could invade the garden. The gardeners should take care of it\u201d. We have seen the US and European \u201cgardeners\u201d desperately slashing the \u201cjungle\u201d in Indo-China, West Asia and North Africa, to mention but a few.<\/p>\n

As we write Israel\u2019s settler colonial \u201cgardeners\u201d, tutored by Britain and outfitted by the US, regularly \u201cmow the lawn\u201d to liquidate Palestinians men, women and children. (One cannot help but wonder what inspiration, if any, nationalist Sinhalese-Buddhists, who claim to speak an Aryan tongue, may be deriving from the European \u201chorticulturists\u201d.)<\/p>\n

However, the \u201cjungle\u201d resists and grows ever denser.<\/p>\n

Western domination unravels<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Russian Federation, feebly staggering to its feet out of the USSR\u2019s ashes, and the Peoples Republic of China, barely gathering speed, seemed at best unthreatening \u201cjungles\u201d. In January 2015, Sen. John McCain confidently mocked<\/span><\/a><\/span>: \u201cRussia is a gas station masquerading as a country\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Drunk on the post-Cold War triumphalism and enthused by seemingly unchallenged US power, Washington\u2019s Neo-Conservatives \u2013 the ideologues of the ruing class and public face of the Deep State \u2013 l<\/span>ed by William Kristol and Robert Kagan stitched together The Project for the New American Century<\/i> (PNAC), a 1992 Neo-Conservative think tank, \u201cto promote American global leadership”, an odious euphemism for US Imperialism. In the same year their apparent political mentor<\/span> Frances Fukuyama obligingly repackaged Spencer\u2019s Social Darwinism in his The End of History and the Last Man;<\/i> he asserted<\/span> US Capitalism and its associated version of Liberal-Democracy constitute the pinnacle of human evolution and boldly predicted that their institutions would hold sway for the rest of time.<\/p>\n

Many academics in some elite US universities, swaying like cobras to a snake charmer\u2019s circling flute, bought into Fukuyama\u2019s ahistorical, irretrievably flawed \u201ctheory\u201d since it confirmed their irrational biases favouring White Supremacy. They rewarded him with lucrative academic sinecures; the mindless veneration by predominantly white, male journalists in mainstream western media\u2019s followed soon after. Probably emboldened by the accolades, the PNAC\u2019s coterie of Neo-Cons and liberal interventionists \u2013 \u201cthe self-made barbarians of the intelligentsia<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u201d \u2013 promoted the delusionary quest to turn the anomaly of three centuries of western domination and its temporary unipolar moment<\/span> into an unending US-ruled unipolar world system.<\/p>\n

Former President Jimmy Carter\u2019s National Security Adviser and Neo-Con <\/span>Zbigniew Brzezinski fleshed out PNAC\u2019s vision; he crafted the geo-strategic blueprint<\/span><\/a><\/span> in his 1997 The Grand Chessboard<\/i> to subdue the two rising Eurasian powers \u2013 first the weaker Russia and, eventually, China \u2013 and entrench US primacy in Eurasia. Brzezinski, a Polish immigrant,<\/span> carried a toxic historical baggage, a revulsion for everything Russian that is rooted in Poland\u2019s several centuries of resistance to the oppressive Tsarist Empire; he poured the malevolence into his Grand Chessboard.<\/i> <\/span>Brzezinski approvingly noted, \u201cAdolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin shared the assumption that Eurasia is the centre of the world and that he who controls Eurasia controls the world<\/span>.\u201d The first step, he explained in the Chessboard<\/i>, is \u201c<\/span>the initiation of Ukraine’s progressive inclusion\u201d within the US sphere of influence during \u201cthe decade 2005-2015\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

US c<\/span>ontrol over Ukraine, underlined Brzezinski in 1997, is fundamental to impede the resurgence of the post-Soviet \u201cweak Russia\u201d. For that would interdict the bulk of Russia\u2019s overland energy export to Europe \u2013 an important revenue stream \u2013 through pipelines across Ukraine. What\u2019s more Russia\u2019s Black Sea fleet could be barred from its main, Sevastopol base in Ukraine\u2019s Crimea and thereby block Moscow\u2019s vital gateway to the Mediterranean and the world beyond.<\/span> Stratfor<\/i>, a web-based geopolitical analysis platform,<\/span> said to have close links to US espionage agencies, asserted<\/span><\/a><\/span> in 2004: \u201cwithout Ukraine Russia\u2019s political, economic and military survivability are called into question\u2026Without Ukraine, Russia is doomed to a painful slide into geopolitical obsolescence and ultimately, perhaps even non-existence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US Deep State, \u201cmen in dark suit wearing blue tie\u201d, who instruct Presidents on what they can do, cannot do and must do, operationalized Brzezinski\u2019s scheme; they violated the solemn commitment offered by the <\/span>US Secretary of State James Baker to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to not expand NATO “one inch eastward”, <\/span>during negotiations over the 1989-90 reunification of West and East Germany. By 2020 NATO, led by Washington, repeatedly breeched the commitment; it incorporated in stages 14 new Central and Eastern European countries despite Moscow\u2019s repeated and increasingly vehement objections that NATO\u2019s advance towards Russia\u2019s border is an existential security threat. <\/span>Successive US Presidents\u2019 administrations <\/span>strategized to draw Ukraine into the US orbit, establish NATO military bases on Russia\u2019s border<\/span> and, as <\/span>Brzezinski schemed, to <\/span>take control<\/span> of<\/span> the Sevastopol naval base. <\/span><\/p>\n

Putin neutralized Washington\u2019s gambit in March 2014, six months before the Maidan Coup; he retrieved Crimea, which Nikita Khrushchev (a Ukrainian native) <\/span>had handed over in 1953, and incorporated Sevastopol within Russia\u2019s sovereign territory through a successful referendum in Crimea.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the bloody process to incorporate Ukraine within US\u2019 sphere of influence moved into high gear; the Deep State and its point person, Victoria Nuland executed the August 2014 Maidan coup (within the decade projected by Brzezinski) that overthrew the centrist<\/span> President <\/span>Viktor Yanukovych.<\/span> Nuland recounted<\/span><\/a><\/span> in her 2016 Congressional Testimony with evident relish how the US agencies have thoroughly penetrated and control Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n

That crossed Moscow\u2019s publicly announced Red Line. <\/span><\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s strategic defeat?<\/span><\/p>\n

The US administrations of Presidents Barack Obama (2013 \u2013 2016) and Donald Trump (2016 \u2013 2020), together with their NATO allies, financed, armed and trained their vassal, Ukraine\u2019s neo-Nazi military, and pointed its nose toward Russia \u2013 a grisly replay of the West grooming Adolf Hitler\u2019s Nazi forces in the 1930s as a dagger aimed at the heart of Moscow. <\/span><\/p>\n

The US-led NATO desperately strategized to claw back Crimea; they imposed economic sanctions \u2013 the modern variant of medieval Siege Warfare \u2013 and ratcheted up the pressure by increasing \u201csanctions from hell\u201d<\/span> up to more than 25,000 to starve Russia into submission.<\/p>\n

Apparently the strategy\u2019s failure later impelled <\/span>the former British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace to urge<\/span><\/a>: \u201cWe need to choke the life out of Crimea\u201d, make it \u201cinhabitable\u201d<\/span>. Was he following the \u201cprecedent\u201d set by Israel bombing Gaza to rubble to make it unliveable?<\/p>\n

The economic war escalated into a military one when Moscow, goaded to<\/span> militarily defend<\/span> its vital interests, <\/span>retaliated with the February 2022 Special Military Operation; but NATO\u2019s propaganda blitz disingenuously accused Moscow of \u201cunprovoked\u201d aggression. <\/span>The US espionage agencies, and a few subservient European ones, together blew up the Nord Stream 1 energy pipeline to block Russia selling energy to Germany and EU in order to further degrade Russia\u2019s economy. Then President Joe Biden had confidently declared<\/span><\/a><\/span>: the \u201cRuble\u201d will be \u201crubble”. Trump chimed in to disparage Russia as a \u201cpaper tiger<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u201d that has failed to defeat the smaller Ukraine for more than three years and counting.<\/p>\n

In effect Biden and Trump played into Putin\u2019s hands. They validated his strategy of executing a slow motion war of attrition that cannot be exaggerated by Washington, to its domestic political constituency, as an immediate and existential threat that legitimated a nuclear response.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the war hysteria to justify the rearmament by NATO\u2019s EU members to take over and pursue the war in Ukraine contradicted Trump; they asserted the \u201cpaper tiger\u201d is in fact a mighty Russian Bear that, after gobbling Ukraine, would make mince meat of most of Europe. President Emmanuel <\/span>Macron offered to extend<\/span><\/a> <\/span>France\u2019s \u201cnuclear deterrent\u201d to the European Continent.<\/span>\u00a0None of this will arrest Europe\u2019s terminal decline and only confirm Ghanaian Kwame Nkrumah\u2019s seminal insight<\/span><\/a><\/span> in his 1965 \u201cNeo-colonialism, the last stage of Imperialism<\/i>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, hope rarely dies. T<\/span>he NATO-trained and equipped Ukrainian military (not NATO\u2019s own forces) must, they pounded,<\/span> \u201cdecimate\u201d Russia\u2019s army; the economically deprived and politically demoralized and Russian people, they fantasized, would rebel, \u201coverthrow\u201d their President Vladimir Putin and welcome the <\/span>NATO forces. Washington, the narrative continued, could then follow through to install a \u201cdemocratic\u201d ruler (read: a satrap), chop the Russian Federation up into its European, Siberian and Asian chunks, and serve the Federation\u2019s natural resources up for the delectation of western TNCs, ostensibly for the lofty ideal of \u201cliberating\u201d non-Russian nationalities. <\/span><\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s <\/span>Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas in May 2024 concluded<\/span><\/a><\/span> thus: “Russia\u2019s defeat is not a bad thing\u201d, she assured Europeans, since the Federation\u2019s \u201cmany different nations\u201d could become separate States. She alluded to de-colonisation: “I think if you would have more like small nations\u2026it is not a bad thing if the big power is actually [made] much smaller\u201d, palpably stoking the elites of the \u201cdifferent nations\u201d to take the cue and revolt against Moscow.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s Foreign Minister <\/span>Sergey Lavrov recounted an exchange with then US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the same subject during an interview by Tucker Carlson. When Lavrov confronted<\/span><\/a><\/span> Blinken, \u201cyou want to uh inflict strategic defeat upon Russia he [Blinken] said no no no no it is not. It is not strategic defeat uh globally it is only in Ukraine<\/span>.\u201d Did Blinken assume others are more stupid that he is?<\/span><\/p>\n

The unfolding catastrophe in Ukraine is a far cry for the heady days when Champaign corks popped in Washington and Brussels in February 2022 as NATO leaders rejoiced over their \u201csuccess\u201d in prodding Moscow to launch its Special Military Operation. They shovelled military supplies and financial resources to Kyiv and plotted to turn Ukraine<\/span> into Moscow\u2019s Vietnam (as they had schemed to but failed, in Afghanistan). <\/span><\/p>\n

The wheels have come off the US-led NATO Imperialism\u2019s grand design to exploit Ukraine as a political condom to violate Russia. The sanctions, explained Putin,<\/span> unlocked<\/span><\/a><\/span> Russia\u2019s economic potential. The country\u2019s economy has grown and is growing stronger; its military by most accounts has surpassed Imperialism\u2019s in manpower, firepower and battle experience and has deployed the peerless conventional intermediate-range missile codenamed Oreshnik. <\/span>The Russian army is steadily advancing along the entire Ukraine front; by all reliable accounts Russia is cruising to victory.<\/p>\n

Panic stricken Washington turned in desperation to cannibalise its erstwhile allies. Trump commanded the G7 partner Canada to become a US federal state; he insisted NATO member Denmark must concede Iceland to the US; and he imposed punitive tariffs on the EU and compelled Brussels to capitulate to US trade preferences.<\/p>\n

The rise of China<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

While Washington and NATO obsessed over neutralising Russia, the meteoric rise of the Peoples Republic of China, which Brzezinski sanguinely viewed as a<\/span> distant peril in the 1990s, caught Washington and Brussels off balance. Though Obama hastily pivoted East in November 2011 inter alia<\/i> to supposedly \u201cengage\u201d (read, to \u201ccontain\u201d) China, the \u201cYellow Peril\u201d was up and running. The West\u2019s strategy planners understandably took some time to overcome reassuring memories of US soldiers belittling the Chinese, during the Korean War, as fit only to \u201cpull rickshaws and sell their sisters\u201d; they have yet to get their head around how, by 2010, the same Chinese raised their country to be a peer economic competitor of the US and, by 2020, a peer military rival.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Beijing\u2019s declared policy of \u201cpeaceful rise\u201d so far has vitiated the propaganda by the US military-industrial-financial ruing class to balloon China up as an immediate and existential threat to justify, to its national political base, the use of tactical if not strategic nuclear weapons. An armed response is assuming urgency in Washington since President Xi Jinping is skilfully applying Sun Tzu\u2019s ancient advice of \u201cwinning without fighting\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mortally rattled Washington is throwing caution to the wind. Trump is demanding Kabul hand over Afghanistan\u2019s Bagram Air Base strategically positioned close to China\u2019s Muslim-majority Xinjiang Province, in which the CIA had promoted Uighur nationalism between 2000 and 2020, and within striking distance of the country\u2019s nuclear facility. Perhaps he is leveraging the return of Afghanistan\u2019s Sovereign Funds stolen by Washington in return for leasing the Base and, knowing Trump\u2019s avarice, for his personal investments too in the country\u2019s vast mineral resources. He also issued a Mafia-like threat<\/span><\/a> <\/span>that \u201cbad things are going to happen\u201d if Kabul refuses. The Taliban leadership has so far flatly rejected the demand.<\/p>\n

The Collective West, consisting mainly of Britain, its settler colonies (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) and the EU countries, unflinchingly bolster their \u201cDaddy\u201d, Trump. However they constitute the global minority of around 15 per cent while the white population within the Collective West stands fewer than 13 per cent of the world.<\/p>\n

Ranged against, is the global majority of at least 85 per cent. It includes the deepening trilateral alliance between rising China, resurgent Russia and energy-rich Iran, with India close behind, and backed by other BRICS members. They constitute a formidable force for multipolarity and a likely insurmountable challenge to the Collective West\u2019s three centuries of global domination and associated White Supremacy.<\/p>\n
