Certain crystalline materials (like quartz, Rochelle salt and some ceramics) have piezoelectric behavior. When you apply pressure to them, you get a charge separation within the crystal and a voltage across the crystal that is sometimes extremely high. It turns out one of your household appliances uses similar technology: In a grill starter, the popping noise you hear is a little spring-loaded hammer hitting a crystal and generating thousands of volts across the faces of the crystal. A voltage this high is identical to the voltage that drives a spark plug in a gasoline engine. The crystal’s voltage generates a spark large enough to light the gas in the grill. This same kind of technology can be used to detonate grenades and warheads.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed off on the first ever $1 trillion military budget.
IT IS FUCKING THREE TIMES MORE THAN $1 Trillion, and that’s just the direct money thrown at the entire MIC. Forget about all the externalities, all the dual and triple use warfare gear, or gear not yet applied to the killing and surveilling machines.
I’m digging this essay: The Last Empire: Meta-Imperialism, Multipolarity, and the Battle for Meaning by Taha on Aug 03, 2025
We are making history, yet we have not entered history. We consume videos that place us face-to-face with the past. We watch television that immerses us in the agonies of the present. But history itself—we shall not enter it until we command the technologies of the future. This is the threshold of fifth-generation war.
I. The Empire of Simulation
In the twilight of modernity, liberal democracy once preached as the telos of civilization has become a hollow cathedral. It echoes with sermons of freedom, but the congregation is absent. The architects of the West, once thinkers and builders, have faded into managers of illusion. In their place: a class of fragile elites, addicted to surveillance, ceremony, and simulation.
This is not merely decline. It is metamorphosis. A new empire emerges not of soldiers and tanks, but of influencers, symbols, deepfakes, and NGOs. Meta-imperialism does not conquer land, it colonizes the mind, the algorithm, the archive. It operates not through occupation but through infiltration: the Sixth Column a ghost army of cultural operatives embedded in academia, media, civil society, and even humanitarianism.
Where empire once marched, it now streams.
II. The Collapse of Objectivity and the Rise of Booberlocracy
The world has slipped from ontology into optics. Western elites, once anchored by industrial might and institutional legitimacy, now drift in the fog of spectacle. Their decisions are no longer anchored in truth or necessity, but in algorithmic impressions, trending sentiment, and the fevers of focus groups.
This is booberlocracy: a rule of content creators masquerading as diplomats, of TikTok strategists replacing field generals, of Davosian elites who speak of diversity while subcontracting drone warfare. In this regime, knowledge is no longer built, it is curated. Reality is not lived, it is filtered. History is not studied, it is memed.
And amid this drift, imperialism has not vanished. It has mutated.
III. Meta-Imperialism: Control Without Borders
Meta-imperialism is imperialism without the boots, the borders, the burden. It achieves with code and credit what guns and governors once did. The tools of this empire are not armies but narratives, curricula, search engines, and NGOs. The new viceroys are AI language models, editorial boards, UN rapporteurs, and development banks.
Take Syria: not merely a battlefield of rubble and resistance, but the theater where old imperialism (military occupation) gave way to meta-imperial encirclement, sanctions, narratives, media delegitimization, and humanitarian siege. With Bashar al-Assad gone, the Iranian strategic depth is bleeding. But more than a regime collapse, this is a rupture in civilizational continuity. Without Syria, Iran is geopolitically amputated, cut from the Mediterranean, exposed to Gulf encirclement, and spiritually shaken.
Yet, Iran still endures. In its defiance lies a question: can a nation survive without submitting to the software of global hegemony?
IV. From Unipolar Decay to Multipolar Destiny
But the empire of simulation has cracks. As the West drowns in its illusions, new tectonic actors rise not merely as states, but as civilizational responses.
- Russia no longer fights for territory, it battles for metaphysics. Its war is not merely in Donetsk, but in the symbolic realm: against the universalist pretensions of the West, against post-gender neoliberalism, against history’s erasure. It calls not for balance, but for meaning.
- China, once patient, now projects its own model: techno-authoritarian, Confucian in rhythm, capitalist in tempo, imperial in ambition. It builds roads, satellites, banks, not just for trade, but for memory, for influence, for aesthetic.
- Africa is no longer a theater of pity, but a crucible of revolt. In Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, young juntas expel French soldiers, shut down Western media, and declare the rebirth of African sovereignty. This is not nationalism, it is epistemological rebellion.
- Europe, paradoxically, stands still neither sovereign nor colonial. Trapped between American algorithms and Russian anxieties, it has become a continent of management: green laws without steel, treaties without teeth, ethics without armies.
- The United States, consumed by its inner contradictions, now wages wars it cannot name, in places it cannot govern, through proxies it cannot trust. Its most powerful weapon is not the Pentagon, but Netflix, Google, and Visa.
V. Toward the Geopolitics of Nations
This moment demands a new grammar. Not “global governance,” not “rules-based order,” not “North vs South.” But a return to the Geopolitics of Nations is a stage where cultures speak in their own tongues, where sovereignty is sacred, where history is not erased but invoked.
Iran, if it survives its siege and reforms its structure, could emerge as a cultural anchor in West Asia not as a theocracy, but as a civilizational model of resistance. If it fails, its fall will be remembered as the final breach in the Islamic East.
Russia, despite its internal fractures, now plays the philosopher-warrior forcing the world to choose: simulation or sovereignty. China, though ambiguous, holds the technological ace and with it, the temptation to build a new empire of data.
Africa’s young generation digitally native yet colonially aware could become the wildcard. If it forges Afrocentric multipolar alliances, it could escape the twin fangs of Western NGOs and Eastern resource grabbers.
And the West? It must choose whether to collapse with dignity or cling to its illusions until its final theater is cultural cannibalism.
VI. Conclusion: The Post-History Threshold
We stand not at the end of history, but at the threshold of post-history. A realm where meaning is distorted, nations are simulated, and war is streamed in 4K. The old empires ruled with armies and gold. The new meta-empires rule with images, interfaces, and NGOs.
But the resistance is not dead.
It lives in the sovereign algorithm, the unsilenced historian, the unplugged thinker, the soldier-poet, the rebellious continent.
In the age of meta-imperialism, multipolarity is not just geopolitics. It is therapy. It is resistance. It is the last architecture of meaning in a world obsessed with surface.
And so, the future belongs not to those who manage narratives, but to those who build civilizations.

The New England Commission of Higher Education — which accredits more than 200 colleges, primarily in the Northeast — is one of several major institutional accreditors that are reconsidering if and how members should demonstrate how they’re meeting diversity goals.
The commission’s members were concerned about potential conflicts between the accreditor’s standards and declarations from the federal government that DEI measures are illegal, said Lawrence M. Schall, president of the commission.
The Trump administration has put intense pressure on both accreditors and their member colleges, including the New England commission in particular. In a June letter, the Departments of Health and Human Services and Education told the accreditor that it had found Harvard in violation of civil-rights law, and that action may be required because the university “may no longer meet” accreditation standards. (The commission has acknowledged to the departments that it received that notice, Schall said, and explained its process for responding to the issue.)
On Wednesday, the Department of Justice directed federally funded institutions to abandon any effort to rectify racial disparities in academic outcomes. The new guidance also suggested that efforts to target student recruitment in historically underserved communities could be using geography as an illegal proxy for race.

Now now, more Jew authors and Jew ideas: Book clubs nationwide have been talking for months about whether you are “Abundance-pilled,” a reference to the recent book by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson that has made it into the lexicon of many public policy nerds.
And public policy nerds happen to be everywhere in the District of Columbia. That is why the waitlist to borrow this book at the D.C. Public Library is more than 300 people long for a hard copy, over 500-long for an eBook and more than 800-long for an audiobook.
Charles Koch (and his late brother David), well known for their hostility to labor and bankrolling champions of euphemistic “right to work” policies like former Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, have seeded or funded multiple groups within the abundance movement with track records of hostility towards unions.
- The Foundation for American Innovation (formerly The Lincoln Network) developed a tool that was deployed to entice public sector union members to opt-out by offering incentives like discounts at major retailers.
- The libertarian Reason Institute, partially funded by the Koch-backed Stand Together, frequently publishes pieces citing unions as major obstacles to progress, particularly teachers’ unions.
- The Cato Institute is the preeminent libertarian think tank and, as such, has published many, many pieces arguing against labor unions’ influence. One 2010 publication declared that “collective bargaining is a misguided labor policy because it violates civil liberties and gives unions excessive power to block needed reforms.”
- George Mason University’s Mercatus Center is a bastion of free-market idealism that was established by major donations from the Koch brothers. It has frequently produced scholarship skeptical of unions and their power.
- The Manhattan Institute — also a beneficiary of Koch funding — has a long history of publishing work opposing unions and organized labor.
- Americans for Prosperity, which has been described as the Koch’s “primary political arm,” has been involved in numerous anti-union campaigns and advocacy efforts, including celebrating “right to work” policies. (It has also been hard at work running a $100 million campaign in support of extending the Trump tax cuts this year).
- (A bit of an outlier, The Aspen Institute, which also has been funded by the Kochs and featured David as a board member, has actually worked to ameliorate executives’ hostility to unions.)
Niskanen, which was formed as a splinter group by the more moderate elements of Cato, also frequently criticizes labor.
This is not to say, however, that skepticism of labor is confined to the abundance movement’s libertarian wing. There are multiple examples of center and even center-left elements of the movement centering critiques of labor. Matt Yglesias, who has been described (by Derek Thompson, no less) as “the OG grandfather of abundance,” has been vocally critical of unions on numerous occasions, including criticizing rail unions for pushing for a two-person crew on freight trains.
Democratic Colorado governor Jared Polis, perhaps the most abundance-pilled politician out there, is now infamous for vetoing legislation (unanimously supported by the state’s Democratic legislators) that would have made it easier for workers to unionize.
Oh, not that kind of Abundance?
Romero is part of a global trend toward much smaller families that experts say is reshaping Latin American society, in particular, at an astonishing rate.
As recently as the 1990s, women across South America and the Caribbean had between three and four children on average.
Veronica Romero Maldonado is a vendor at the San Joaquín market, which operates on Saturdays and Sundays. She comes from a large family with six siblings. Veronica had two sons, and each of them has only one child.
Marisol Romero is a vendor at the San Joaquín market, which operates on Saturdays and Sundays. She comes from a large family with seven siblings. But Marisol had only two sons, and each of them has only one child, a trend toward smaller families that is reshaping Chilean society.
But according to the latest United Nations report, the region’s fertility rate had fallen to fewer than two children per woman. That’s well below the 2.1 “total fertility rate,” a technical term used by researchers, which is widely considered the minimum necessary to maintain a stable population.
In Chile, meanwhile, the number has plunged even lower, barely above one child per woman, and is still falling.
[Macarena Lagos, 19, Florencia Contreras, 23, and Mariana Sanhueza, 21, are design students at the Catholic University in Santiago, Chile. All three voiced strong reservations about having children. They worry that motherhood would limit their freedom and choices.]
Alarm among conservatives in Chile’s populist movement
But as in the U.S., many conservative leaders in Chile view these demographic changes very differently.
Chilean political parties on the right regularly portray the rapid drop in family size and the changing role of women as threats to the nation’s culture and identity.
Jose Antonio Kast, a leading populist candidate in this year’s presidential race, posted a campaign video celebrating what he describes as women’s traditional identity as mothers.
“Mothers are essential. The mother-child bond is tremendous,” he said. “A society that wants to develop well needs this emotional bond.”
Chile’s influential Roman Catholic Church has also taken up the cause of motherhood and population. In an interview with the national TV station TVN, the Archbishop of Santiago Fernando Chomali called the country’s population trends an “urgent” problem.
“The birth rate we have today is practically zero,” he warned. “That needs to be addressed urgently because Chile is an aging country.”
As in the U.S., conservative Chilean politicians hope to implement policies, including economic incentives, that might encourage young couples and women to have more children.
What’s behind the ‘pronatalist’ movement to boost the birth rate?
The Trump administration has introduced similar efforts in the U.S., including a savings program for babies called “Trump Accounts.”

Putin warns the West: Russia is ready for nuclear war
Oh, why not have more kids so they can end up in the Bozo the Clown Pedophile Epstein 5.0 Show?
Did an Israeli rabbi just threaten Trump with Epstein kompromat?
Rabbi Yoseph Janowski writes a regular column at The Times of Israel. His bio on the website is a straightforward one-liner: “By the Grace of G-d.” Rabbi Janowski’s columns are infused with noticing the hand of providence in every geopolitical occurrence. In his July 21 column titled Trump, Israel, and the Epstein files, Rabbi Janowski has written some startling lines. “Trump and his administration criticized Netanyahu and Israel,” the rabbi starts. “And now the Epstein files are haunting him. For a long time the files had subsided in the background. They weren’t considered to be much of a threat to Trump. But all of a sudden, right after he started up with Israel, the files surfaced, and they seem to be overwhelming him.”
The Israeli rabbi insinuates a direct link between Trump’s supposed opposition to Israeli foreign policy objective and the fact that the spectre of Epstein files has begun haunting him domestically.
“Trump decided to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites,” Rabbi Janowski continues. “And that’s commendable. But reports later surfaced that he rejected the option to bomb for a week’s time, in order to finish off all the sites. Thus only Fordow was severely damaged, while other sites had only minimal or no damage.”
Then the rabbi goes on to dangle the spectre of the incriminating Epstein files once more: “And now, some old files are threatening him.” He then proceeds to sound overtly threatening: “Perhaps Trump will realize, that it really doesn’t pay to start up with Israel. Perhaps those implicated in the files, will express contrition and regret.”
In a remarkable act of hubris, Rabbi Janowski goes on to add that if the contents of the Epstein files were to be revealed, it would be purely down to “Divine providence” (not Epstein’s handlers in the Mossad): “Because when, by Divine providence, things that were hidden become revealed, it enables people to correct their mistakes, and to endeavour to live their lives properly, the way G-d wants them to.”
In a 2014 article, The Times of Israel writes of Netanyahu’s threat to Clinton:
Israel attempted to use tapes of former US president Bill Clinton’s steamy conversations with intern Monica Lewinsky to leverage the release of Jonathan Pollard, a new book on the Clinton family’s political enterprises has claimed. In the book, titled “Clinton Inc: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine,” author Daniel Halper relies on on-the-record interviews with former officials together with a close analysis of documents termed “the Mo3eeenica Files” to paint a salacious – and uncomplimentary – picture of one of the most prominent political families in the United States.
Interestingly, the threatening encounter took place during part of the Oslo Accords talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in Maryland in 1998.
The Times of Israel article goes on to reveal:
“The Israelis present at Wye River had a new tactic for their negotiations–they’d overheard Clinton and Monica and had it on tape. Not wanting to directly threaten the powerful American president, a crucial Israeli ally, Clinton was told that the Israeli government had thrown the tapes away. But the very mention of them was enough to constitute a form of blackmail,” Halper wrote, adding that “according to information provided by a CIA source, a stricken Clinton appeared to buckle.”
Halper noted that “intelligence officials in the United States or Israel will of course not confirm on the record the extent or substance of Israeli eavesdropping,” but also cited an article published in 2000 by the magazine Insight, that claimed that Israel had “penetrated four White House telephone lines and was able to relay real-time conversations on those lines from a remote site outside the White House directly to Israel for listening and recording.”
The threat nearly worked, but for the fact that Clinton’s CIA director threatened to resign, forcing Clinton to abandon the idea.
Netanyahu’s threat, according to Halper, spurred Clinton to consider action. Halper claims that Clinton brought the request before CIA director George Tenet. Tenet, however, threatened to resign his position if Pollard was released, and Clinton backpedalled on the idea.
The article further highlights that Halper isn’t the only one to claim Israeli possession of kompromat on Clinton, lending credence to the story:
In 1999, UK author Gordon Thomas claimed that the Mossad had collected some 30 hours’ worth of phone sex conversations between Lewinsky and Clinton and was using them to blackmail the US or to protect a deeply-embedded mole in the White House.

Israel’s birth rate is notably high, especially when compared to other developed nations. The country’s total fertility rate (TFR) is around 2.9 children per woman, significantly higher than the OECD average. This high birth rate is a key factor in Israel’s population growth, which is projected to reach 12 million by 2035.
