Jason Reza Jorjani underscores the threat of imminent global and civil conflicts, stressing the erosion of America’s Promethean essence by “Woke” ideologies and the critical need to defend the country’s pioneering spirit and cultural sovereignty.
We are at this moment faced with the simultaneous entry of the United States of America into a Third World War and a Second American Civil War. I have warned about this for years and, most unfortunately, it now seems both inevitable and imminent. I hereby commit Prometheism to defending America in this struggle.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) defense umbrella that has aptly been described as “the American Empire” expanded extensively into Eastern Europe in a violation of fundamental US and Allied agreements with Russia that were a part of Premier Gorbachev’s decision to dismantle the USSR. Instead of giving Russia a bear hug that would have won America a new ally in the clash of civilizations that was then already being foreseen, elites with dubious motivations humiliated, isolated, and antagonized Russia. Now, almost a quarter century later, these policy makers have succeeded not only in making an enemy of Russia, but they have also brought us to the brink of senseless war with a country that still has the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet. What is worse is that Russia has been, reluctantly, pushed into the arms of China and forced to court the Islamic World.
Unlike Russia, China and Islam are civilizational enemies of the West. Beginning in 2015, Europe was invaded by military-aged Muslim men under the cover of “migration.” Since 2021, America has been invaded by military-aged Chinese men under the same cover and with the institutional assistance of both the government of China and the United Nations. China, the most populous nation on Earth, has decided to take the huge surplus of young men created by their one-child policy and send them through the open border of the United States, aided and abetted by Mexican cartels. These cartels have also been paid by numerous Islamic terrorist groups, from Al-Qaeda to Hezbollah, to embed their forces inside masses of illegals entering our country from Mexico. In Europe, Muslim migrants are becoming the spearhead of a new Caliphate that will certainly cohere by 2075, when, at current growth rates, Islam establishes a majority as the largest religion on Earth. The Palestinian Cause, namely the reconquest of Al-Qods (Jerusalem), the third holiest city in Islam besides Mecca and Medina, is the single most unifying factor in the entire Islamic World. So, we are faced with an Axis of China, Russia, and Islam unified against America and its allies.
The domestic situation is even worse. Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) and Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists with their “Woke” agenda have almost completely destroyed our educational system by rejecting meritocracy in favor of “equity” and “fairness” and by “cancelling” many of our canonical thinkers and classic writers in favor of curricula “recentered” on anti-Western indoctrination. There can be little doubt that the same Last Men (as Nietzsche called them) driven by slave morality who, since 2020, have been tearing down statues of our greatest presidents, like Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, and even Abraham Lincoln, will eventually direct this resentment toward smashing busts of Aristotle and Plato. The same zombies have fully embraced the Palestinian Cause and Open Borders, effectively acting as the fifth column of the enemies that are invading us.
We have entered a state of emergency and an existential struggle. It is time to set aside all petty squabbles and abstruse arguments. The campaign of President Trump (and I do not only mean the present political ‘campaign’) is the only remaining hope to negotiate a respectable resolution to World War III, secure our borders to reestablish our status as a sovereign nation, and to save some semblance of our Promethean culture that once led the world in scientific discovery, technological innovation, intrepid exploration, industrious development, and creative genius — in an atmosphere of free expression and freedom from totalitarian thought policing. In a last stand for liberty, and in the defense of my beloved country and the culture that fostered my development as a thinker, I am prepared to sacrifice my property and even my life.

The only question in this prescient and well thought piece is "defending the country's pioneering spirit" when the fronteir closed 133 years ago. Eight years after that came the War with Spain and imperial expansion to Hawaii, the Banana Wars thru 1934 "Good Neighbor Policy" so we could fight in another world war with even more "progressive" intentions.
FDR and Stalin were as close as America and Russia ever were.
The frontier is nostalgic at this point.
In WW2, the frontiersman became the gunslinger ready to give the HUns and then Tojo "a sock in the nose". John Wayne was the archtype.
Then came Clint Eastwoods' "Spahgetti Westerns"- a darker look-"Kelly's Heroes" brought cynicism to WW2. "Indiana Jones" brought slapstick caricature.
Today, Natenyahu informs us that Israel cannot be criticized because of the "holocaust". Ursula Haverbeck went to jail for saying such things. We seem to have reached the point of Kafka humor.
The "Third World" has become the "Global South": there are no more frontiers: no Dr. Livingston, Lewis and Clark, Columbus.
We're not frontiersmen anymore and the spirit of the frontier is now only imagination if not nostalgia, not quite as bad as the "Woke" contrarians, but still not real, either.
People back then wanted "civilization" and statehood. Prarie life was onerous. People didn't flock West with the Transcontinental Railroad. It was a wartime project that went bust. There was nothing there but prarie and steel rails.
I wonder how much most people even know about it outside entertainment.
Politicians use history for an excuse, not to understand.
The pioneering spirit is complicated and changed over time.
It has left a void to be sure but I think we need something to replace it rather than defend it since it requires no defence. It's history. The more one defends the more others attack. Never argue with stupid people. I think we have greater tasks i.e. where are we going? That is the frontier, today, and it not spatial. It's in time.
I see it in Mark Twain and TUcker Carlson : straight talking, common sense "Yankees" who suck up to neither money nor power yet aren't completely hung up on themselves.
Twain's characters were marvelously flawed but he liked them anyway.
That would be something new!
Interesting concept. You identified the present problem but the steps to a solution can be fleshed out a bit more. Looking forward to the dialogue.
