Thousands of primitive islanders scattered across dozens of remote islands in the South Pacific belong to “cargo cults”. These tribes participate in religious rituals that have been warped to one degree or another by their contact with “the White man”…
Lacking the slightest clue about the origins of these planes and their sacred “cargo”, they build elaborate replicas of control towers and landing strips from leaves, branches, and coconuts. For decades, they’ve patiently and precisely performed the rituals they believe will magically result in the messianic return of the “cargo”.
One example of this phenomenon has emerged among the White American tribe. 
They’ve begun to mimic the outward appearances of a historical Boston Tea Party protest in the vain belief that donning tricorn hats, rambling on about “liberty”, and “making their voices heard” will magically result in the messianic return of the traditional American nation.
The disorganized and disoriented thrashing of the Tea Party movement is the last spasm of allegiance to the institutions, principles, symbols, and mantras of our indigenous mercantile elite: the founding fathers. Their impotent protests and empty rituals are the death twitch of a decapitated nation, one loyal to the dogma of a bygone elite. Our founding fathers, like the pilots who visited those remote islands during WWII, are long gone – never to return.
One can hardly blame White Americans for their ignorance of the the occult war and their having lost it. Can one can blame islanders for their ignorance of modern society and its aviation? The oligarchy that founded America, Freemasonry, was secretive. The founders, wealthy merchants and landowners, refused to submit to the distant and derelict priests and noblemen of the Ancien Regime, so they orchestrated what was ostensibly a spontaneous popular uprising against “tyrants”, state religion, and everything else that stuck in the craw of this wealthy but heretofore disempowered elite.
The oligarchy that toppled America, Jewry, is also secretive, disguising their machinations as popular movements and couching their agenda in ideological constructs. Unlike a king with his decree or a pope with his edict, both Masonic and Jewish oligarchs have historically had to rely heavily on crypsis when projecting power. The end result is that these White Americans who are losing their country don’t really know from whence it came or where it went.
The “Tea Party”, America’s revolutionary cargo cult, is both completely naive and completely devoid of real power, so its fate is preordained. Their restless energy will be redirected toward being useful idiots of the mainstream American political landscape. Their frustration about rising taxes will be exploited to benefit the plutocrats and multinational corporations. Their frustration about this government’s manipulation of the markets will be exploited to remove government oversight. Their anxiety about the sweeping demographic and sociocultural changes will be exploited by demagogues who will appease them with legislative half-gestures…if at all.
The Obamacare distraction, the first real test of the movement, proved how easily distracted they truly are. For several months, Fox News and the pharmaceutical lobbies hijacked them to avoid a Democratic effort to transfer the taxpayer’s graft from private corporations (Republican) to bureaucracies and not-for-profit organizations (Democratic). Sadly, their primary focus as of this writing is actually on reversing that defeat. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury are orchestrating even more egregious “bailouts” and monetary schemes that might have been their focus had they been congenitally capable of focusing.
Ordinary White Americans are indeed growing restless and losing faith in the system. This is true, but irrelevant. Without a competent indigenous elite directing the angry mob, it will either be defeated or distracted. Popular revolutions don’t happen spontaneously. Mobs simply can’t organize themselves into structured organizations with coherent messages and the ability to project real political power. Unless true leadership emerges, Americans will continue to fall for warmongering neocons, charming hucksters, and foreign technocrats.

I actually attended a Tea Party ceremony last 4th of July, organized by Bob Schultz. It was like a religious ceremony, with singing and prayers and such. There were about a dozen attendees, several of which were menacing looking bikers. One of the bikers was named “Spider.” I couldn’t help but respect their strength of belief. They actually signed a new Declaration of Independence on Jekyll Island, and had the document with them for people in New York State to sign. So I signed a new Declaration of Independence! It was on browned paper, like the original.
John Robb has a term, “the self organizing future.” I don’t see these Tea Party people going back to their bread and circuses, unless they pull off a miracle with the economy. These folks are going to get more and more discontented, as the economy slides deeper into merciless contraction. So I am optimistic that the period dress and cargo cultism will be seen as the “anger” and “bargaining” phase of DABDA, or the stages of Grief — Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance.
Acceptance does not necessarily mean surrendering to the status quo. It can be acceptance of the hard work and effective modes of struggle. Americans have fallen into a lot of vice, but we are still a very dynamic and creative people. I think as we move through the stages of grief, the Acceptance stage will resolve itself into effective resistance, rather than surrender.
Matt: “Their impotent protests and empty rituals are the death twitch of a decapitated nation, one loyal to the dogma of a bygone elite. Our founding fathers, like the pilots who visited those remote islands during WWII, are long gone – never to return.”
Cold, hard truth. Mindweapon beat me to it, but I too can’t help but wonder if we’re going through some convoluted version of the five stages of grief.
Matt: “The “Tea Party”, America’s revolutionary cargo cult, is both completely naive and completely devoid of real power, so its fate is preordained. Their restless energy will be redirected toward being useful idiots of the mainstream American political landscape.”
Indeed, just look at what Glen Beck’s doing today for the most obvious example.
Matt: “Unless true leadership emerges, Americans will continue to fall for warmongering neocons, charming hucksters, and foreign technocrats.”
I think the emerging of real leaders hinges on the fact that a minimum of the “right conditions” need to be in place, before the leadership can take charge. Although we’re a lot closer than we were just five years ago, the saying is true, American Whites just aren’t hurting enough to get a good enough picture of what they really face.
But with each passing day, the hurting spreads and intensifies. The code words and illusions are losing strength. We’re closing in on (if not already at) the point where any victories our so-called elites manage to win in the short-term will be pyrrhic.
You got it, Lawrence. When people want it bad enough, it’ll happen, and even if some parts of the rebellion get diverted in ineffective directions, it will be big enough that we can get in on the battle for control.
It’s all about the chokepoints. The pushbutton growth economy reduced the number of chokepoints, and made it efficient enough for Jewish control. The contracting economy will increase the number of chokepoints beyond the number of Jews and traitors that can occupy all those chokepoints.
“This tribe thinks airplanes land where they do because there are things that look like runways there. Likewise, Obama and the Democrats think the economy used to thrive because a bunch of people had money in their pockets. So this tribe built things that look like runways, and the Democrats stole money and put it in a bunch of their political friends’ pockets. Both unsophisticated tribes of people now wait for their situation to improve.”

Interesting analysis worthy of consideration.
Could the Tea Party be the contemporary equivalent of the John Birch Society?
“In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. in being one of the founding members of the anti-Communist John Birch Society. Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion, his most widely-noted piece being a two-part article called “Marxmanship in Dallas” that asserted that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as part of a Communist conspiracy. In Oliver’s opinion, the Communists wished to eliminate Kennedy as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness. Oliver testified before the Warren Commission on the basis for his assertions but was unconvincing. He was reprimanded for his remarks by the University of Illinois’ Board of Trustees, but they did not try to unseat him.[6][7][8]
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism and, having become convinced that Welch had either cozened him from the start or sold out later, he even severed his connections with what he called “the Birch hoax.” He thus came to openly embrace an essentially far-right worldview, and eventually to assist William Luther Pierce in forming the National Alliance, a white nationalist organization, a significant portion of whose supporters and members would re-form under the name National Vanguard.”[/i]

Perhaps an effective strategy for todays world is to be a Dissident. Learn from the Eastern-European Anti-Communist Dissidents and apply the lessons from that time period to the Soft Totalitarianism that is occurring now.
1.) Forums and Blogs are our own Samzidat Publishing.
2.) Books like ‘Mister’ by Alex Kurtagic are sort of like our ‘Gulag Archipelago’
Perhaps at some point in the Future the Tea Party can be influenced to become a Mass Movement similar to Polish Solidarity (both anti-Government) and have a similar level of success.

Matt, great piece. I have reposted it at Counter-Currents:

MindWeapon,
I agree with you that there’s a momentum to this that could only be delayed (not stopped) by an economic miracle. My concern is that unless they grasp and act on the metapolitics, they’ll continue “thrashing” without achieving lasting change.
Lawrence,
I am sure that they will lose, but we need to have the infrastructure in place to assure that we will win. I agree with you and mindweapon that a paradigm shift is in the making, that the status quo is on borrowed time. But we can’t presume that their loss will be our gain.
Michael,
Good comparison. The blogging samizdat is a necessary, albeit insufficient, precondition for organizing resistance.
Greg,
Awesome! I appreciate it! I laughed out loud at your “another Black conservative” caption.
Jindal looks different somehow.
