“Independence is the recognition of the fact that yours is the responsibility of judgment and nothing can help you escape it—that no substitute can do your thinking—that the vilest form of self-abasement and self-destruction is the subordination of your mind to the mind of another, the acceptance of an authority over your brain, the acceptance of his assertions as facts, his say-so as truth, his edicts as middle-man between your consciousness and your existence.” - John Galt
Keir Starmer’s administration is a monument to the moral collapse of modern politics. By diverting the focus of government to foreign entanglements—fawning over Ukraine and Saudi Arabia—while ignoring the plight of Britain’s own citizens, he exemplifies the tragic abdication of a leader’s true responsibility: to protect the rights and advance the interests of those he serves. In place of action to confront rising living costs, secure economic stability, or defend individuals from the encroachments of an ever-expanding state, Starmer offers only platitudes—shrouding his impotence in the hollow rhetoric of “global responsibility.”
This failure is not an isolated incident. It is symptomatic of a deeper philosophical rot: the worship of altruism, the insidious doctrine that demands the individual sacrifice his values, his labor, and his future for the ill-defined “greater good.” Altruism, the code of self-destruction, has metastasized from a personal moral failing into the operating principle of international politics. Beneath its banner, the strong are chained, the productive are drained, and the individual is obliterated—all under the guise of serving humanity.
Consider Ukraine. The high-minded declarations of Western leaders cloak nothing more than a naked power struggle. The slogans of sovereignty and justice are but repackaged imperialism, no different in essence from the conquests of the past. The “green agenda” that has swept across Europe—another supposed moral crusade—is not about saving the planet; it is about seizing power and resources. Lithium, the “white gold” of the renewable energy age, is not a symbol of progress but the prize of a calculated power grab. Europe and the United States are not protecting Ukraine; they are exploiting it, reducing its people to pawns in a game of geopolitical dominance.
Why? Because the so-called “green revolution” is a smokescreen. The scramble for lithium, a resource essential to the energy technologies of the future, is not driven by environmental concern but by the lust for control. It is not the planet they wish to save; it is the monopoly on the future they wish to secure. This is not a movement of idealists but of power brokers seeking to dictate the terms of existence for generations to come.
The architects of this deception—the politicians, financiers, and corporate elites—are not noble. They are tyrants wearing the masks of virtue. Men like Jörg Kukies, whose career in global finance ties him to BlackRock, one of the most powerful investment firms on the planet, epitomize this nexus of power and pretense. Kukies, operating in the shadows of governments and corporations, ensures that the green agenda aligns with the profit motives of the world’s financial titans. Is it a coincidence that the push for renewable energy enriches those already entrenched in power? Of course not. This is no accident—it is the natural outcome of a game rigged to serve their interests.
Ukraine is not a battlefield for freedom; it is a battlefield for resources. The soldiers who fight are not securing their nation’s sovereignty—they are securing the profits and control of those who pull the strings from afar. The moralistic veneer that Western leaders paint over this conflict is a lie, and the cost is paid in blood by those who believe it.
And yet, this is no novel deceit. It is the same game played by power-hungry men throughout history, cloaked now in modern language: “sustainability,” “equity,” “global responsibility.” These are not virtues; they are weapons wielded to reduce nations to chess pieces and individuals to sacrifices on the altar of power. Those who die in Ukraine do not die for their own future—they die for the ambitions of those who see the world as theirs to control.
Meanwhile, the architects of global instability push ever closer to disaster. The neoconservatives, those self-appointed stewards of morality, demand escalation: NATO membership for Ukraine, billions in guarantees, and a refusal to seek peace. Their agenda is not stability but chaos, not justice but domination.
One can only hope that Vladimir Putin recognizes the provocations of the West for what they are: attempts to entrap him into a reaction that would escalate the conflict on their terms. The danger here cannot be understated, a reaction would lead to something beyond contemplating, a full scale nuclear conflict. If he waits, he may see the truth—that the West’s edifice of power, built on contradictions and deceit, will collapse under its own weight. For it is not strength that upholds it but the fragility of a system that sacrifices reality for illusion.
This is the battle of our time. It is not a fight between nations or ideologies; it is a fight between those who would live and those who would enslave. The doctrine of altruism, which demands the sacrifice of the individual to the collective, is the weapon of the enslavers. It is the creed of destruction, wielded by those who seek to crush human potential so long as they can rule over the ashes.
What is the alternative? It is not sacrifice. It is not submission. It is the affirmation of the individual—the recognition that each man’s life is his own, that no one has the right to impose their will upon him, and that true morality lies in the pursuit of one’s own rational self-interest. To reject altruism is to reject tyranny; it is to reclaim the only thing that matters: one’s own life.
The world does not need leaders who beg for the approval of global elites. It needs individuals who understand that reason, strength, and independence are the only forces capable of shaping a future worth living. Let the voices of the free rise and declare: “I will not live for the sake of another, nor ask another to live for mine.” This is not merely a rejection of the lies of the powerful—it is the ultimate affirmation of life itself.
