An increasingly profound sense of malaise now permeates the West. The American political process has been hijacked by economic interests, reducing its electoral process to a sad parody of Democracy; meanwhile, the European institutions and elites seem paralyzed, imprisoned in a dangerously outmoded political correctness rooted in 19th Century liberalism, with a manifest loss of even the most rudimentary survival instincts."The Widening Gyre – And The Sarajevo Blues."

"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy,
And the dogs that bark revolution.

Long live freedom and damn the ideologies!"
(Robinson Jeffers)

With the Sarajevo blues again"
