Two conditions to end civilisation: one, “wokeness”; two, defeat of Israel. Part 1

Had Adam Kredo but read George Orwell’s essay “Looking back on the Spanish War” before sitting down to write “American Adversaries Meet To 'Coordinate Their Positions' on Iran's Nuclear Program,” in The Washington Free Beacon, he might have recalled the following Orwell insight:

…Against that …world in which black may be white tomorrow, …there are in reality only two safeguards. One is that however much you deny the truth, the truth goes on existing, as it were, behind your back, and you consequently can’t violate it… The other is that so long as some parts of the earth remain unconquered, the liberal tradition can be kept alive. Let Fascism, or possibly even a combination of several Fascisms, conquer the whole world, and those two conditions no longer exist. (My emphasis)

This was written in 1943, the kernel of his 1948 novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, already recognisable here. This “combination of several Fascisms” has been a feature of the global landscape in inchoate forms in: Arab intellectuals’ admiration for the “Blut und Eissen” Germans; the Bolsheviks making the German proletariat indispensable to the coming Russian Revolution; Kemal Mustafa serving as the role model for both Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler; and in mature forms in: the Communist International; Hajj Amin Al-Husseini’s pilgrimage to Berlin via Ankara and Rome; the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact; the Muslim Brotherhood modelling its organisation (though not its ideology and methods – that was Islam) on the Nazis; the Tripartite Pact (Axis Powers); the USSR/”Democratic Peoples Republics”/national liberation movements/the Western Left; etc. The paralysis of the West towards the end of the Vietnam War showed just what such a “combination of Fascisms” might be capable of under the right conditions of ideological control.

Since they are all totalitarian, none of them can abide the existence of the others, but suppress their mutual animosity to make common cause against their mutual enemy, the world free of totalitarian dictatorship. Their mutual animosity and their common cause are in dynamic tension, alternating between dominating and submitting to the other, hence, for example, Hitler invading the Soviet Union despite the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, or even within Communism, the Sino-Soviet Split.

This same mutual animosity/common cause exists in a modified form on a larger scale when their common enemy has overwhelming military power and a reputation for using it. A clear instance of this is was when the US under Donald Trump killed ISIS caliph Abubakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the Sunni jihad, in October 2019 and three months later, assassinated IRGC terror mastermind Qassim Soleimani, military leader of the Shi’a jihad. Iran was radioactive, pun intended, in that its own allies were reluctant to get too close it for fear of what America might do to them.

The fearsome reputation Trump thus gained amongst all totalitarian regimes went with him into the White House in January 2025, only to immediately be eroded by none other than Donald Trump himself declaring “We want peace” and “We wanna make a deal.” Russia, Iran and China could not believe their ears, but were prudent enough to be cautious, after all, Trump and Netanyahu were getting ready to bomb Iran! And as the months went by, they watched Trump tire of the game of kings and yearn for what he both knows best and does best, making deals. It is astonishing that the shrewd dealmaker extraordinaire could not see that Iran was stringing him along by holding out the carrot of a deal. For as long as they can play Trump, Trump will hold back Netanyahu, “because we’re so close to a deal”.

The US President did not, and probably still does not, realise is that both Russia and China knew all along exactly what Iran has been up to, because they do it themselves, all the time. It is how their world works. Trump could not see Vladimir Putin was playing him for the fool in Ukraine. All that Putin needed to do is “agree to negotiate”. After Iran had tried to assassinate Trump, he started openly talking to them, saying. “They gotta make a deal. They gotta make a deal.” Even an embarrassment like South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was inspired to think he’s got what it takes to hoodwink Trump. How much more so the serious threats like Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Mohammed Badie and Ali Khamenei, who will now all step on the gas.

When all your diplomatic efforts are expended and all your military might is fielded, to get your enemy to make make a deal, then, perversely, you turn into your enemy's protector, because if that enemy should cease to exist, then whom do you make a deal with? You gotta make a deal. The extent to which Donald Trump has to prevent Ukraine from destroying Russia so he can make a deal is not clear to us. But the extent to which successive Israeli governments have had to keep Palestinian regimes afloat because they have to have "a partner for peace" is very clear. It seems never to have crossed their minds that if they simply wiped out those regimes, they could impose their own peace.

One advantage that the combination of Fascisms has over Israel, is that it knows the favourable Trump window can shut very quickly. They do not have the luxury to act "at a time of their choosing". They need to act NOW. It was shattering to see President Trump hand Israel carte blanche to do in Gaza whatever she needed to do, and Prime Minister Netanyahu saying Israel will take action "at a time of our choosing". That window has now shut and still there has been no choosing. Some say this was timidity. We say it was both timidity and misunderstanding Trump.

It is civilisation’s survival imperative that Israel reaches the ability to defend herself by herself as a matter of urgency. It is urgent not because Trump could any day turn against Israel, but because Trump could any day turn against Iran-Russia-China-Muslim Brotherhood. They, together with the globalist West, the fifth column of Fascism, need to destroy Israel before Trump wakes up to realise that they will never make a deal, that war is unavoidable. Those who balk at this thought might benefit from reading the Dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna as the Kurukshetra War was about to start, and keeping in mind that Krishna had pleaded with Dhritarashtra to negotiate, all in vain (incidentally, the same lesson from the Bhagavad Gita applies to the Israeli people vis-à-vis their domestic traitors). Israel’s presumption has to be that there is no one who will defend her or come to her aid and that she is already out of time. The West, and Americans in particular, cannot see it yet, but it is now up to Israel to save them.

This brings us to Adam Kredo’s article “American Adversaries Meet To 'Coordinate Their Positions' on Iran's Nuclear Program.” The point that Kredo misses is that Donald Trump has so eroded his reputation for tough action—oh yes, he took on the scruffy ragtag Houthis and instead of wiping them out, he made a deal with them! Similarly, instead of allowing Israel to wipe out Hamas, Trump has now made a deal with them, too. The deal is Trump’s Achilles heel, a heel that readily steps on friends.

Iran, supposedly negotiating a nuclear deal with Trump, just combined with two other “Fascisms,” Russia and China, to mock the weakness of the US President. “The combination of several Fascisms” now feels itself sufficiently emboldened to meet openly and flaunt their strategising on how to protect Iran’s nuclear facilities. What does Donald trump have to counter this? “A strong document.” Yeah, right. Not like the flimsy piece of paper Neville Chamberlain held up in triumph because it bore Herr Hitler’s signature. This is exactly what happens when you say to your totalitarian adversaries, “We want peace; we want to make a deal,” and you equate an “agreement” with peace, win-win, everybody’s happy, the height of pointlessness to a totalitarian mind.

All three “Fascisms”, Russia, Iran and China, used the Houthis and Hamas, i.e., the Arabs, as their canary in the coal mine. If they survive Trump, we do x; if Trump, with or without Netanyahu, wipes them out, we do y. To Muslims and communists, agreements are not part of making peace, they are part of making war. Donald Trump knows what a bad deal is. The question is whether he knows there is no such thing as a good deal with Iran, Russia, China or the Muslim Brotherhood. Even now this combination of Fascisms is working out how to use Trump’s “strong document” to get closer to absolute victory over Western civilisation, in other words, destroy it utterly.
