To Document The Activities

So much for Donald Trump the Anglophile, although cultural Anglophilia has never necessarily translated into pro-British politics in the American elite, of which a second term President is indisputably a member. File alongside the supposedly close intelligence relationship, no British participant in which heard a whisper of the impending Trump Tariff on this country. And even including the United States, is there any State other than Israel that we would allow to treat our MPs as Abtisam Mohamed and Yuan Yang had been treated?

Thoughts and prayers are with the once-New Right that dominates the Conservative Party and defines Reform UK, and with the Old and New Labour Rights alike, which are now as good as the entirety of the Labour Party, as will be shown once and for all by the Commons Divisions on the cuts to sickness and disability benefits.

In stark contrast to what was once the Old Right, which now barely exists anywhere, and to what was quite recently the Labour Left, which remains highly active everywhere except Parliament and the Labour Party, all three of those tendencies are Atlanticist and Zionist supporters of globalisation as first principles. In any other terms, the world simply cannot make any sense to them. Therefore, they now need to get out of the way. Mohamed and Yang were travelling under the auspices of the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding, which was once a pillar of High Torydom. That world is long gone. But the one that replaced it is also rapidly on the way out.

The abuse of Yang and especially of Mohamed has been drearily predictable, like the hysterical reaction to the BBC's undeniable error of editorial judgement in referring to "Muslim reverts". Those who made quite such a fuss about that ought to be laughed out unless they actively understood our own need for reversion. We need to re-learn structured daily prayer, setting aside one day in seven, fasting, almsgiving, pilgrimage, the global community of faith as the primary focus of personal allegiance and locus of personal identity, the lesser outward and greater inward struggle, the need for a comprehensive and coherent critique of both capitalism and Marxism, the coherence between faith and reason, and a consequent integrated view of art and science. The answer to the challenge of the Sunna is Sacred Tradition. The answer to the challenge of the Imamate is the Petrine Office. The answer to the challenge of Sufism is our own tradition of mysticism and monasticism. Liberal Catholics will be the last to see the point.

Would they rather have Trump, and Paula White? Would you? Trump grew up in the Marble Collegiate Church of Norman Vincent Peale, who even took his first wedding there. The Power of Positive Thinking was the old mainline American Protestant tradition reconfigured by the New Thought movement, and the practically indistinguishable Word of Faith movement is that reconfiguration of Pentecostalism.

The mainline has become the oldline by turning to secularism and paganism, very much in the liberal Catholic mould of agreeing with whoever it was talking to by sending different people to different encounters. But it is White who has ties to the Unification Church that the Tokyo District Court has just ordered to liquidate its assets because of its role in the assassination of Shinzo Abe, and through that to the Nation of Islam, with which the Unification Church organises mass events and which promotes Dianetics, the basis of Scientology. There is a better way. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
