It’s gonna fall

There are prophecies of the US economy failing real badly, as well as growing reliance on artificial intelligence to speed things up. The US might dominate the artificial intelligence field, which is already happening in a number of industries. Some fashion business rely on artificial intelligence not just to pinpoint possible or forthcoming trends, but also make it easier to make patterns for seamstresses to rely on before sewing said garment. Animation studios rely on artificial intelligence to make the job of animating characters easier and more efficient this way, given animation’s already a very labour-intensive job. Artificial intelligence also does a generally decent job at summarising things, when it comes to something like say comic book industry trends for instance.

Artificial intelligence is already in use in a number of industries to varying degrees, but with the aim of making certain jobs and tasks easier and more efficient. Seamstresses might rely on artificial intelligence to make the job of sewing garments for people easier and quicker to make, as if sewing machines alone don’t get the job fast enough. There were some suspicions around sewing machines when they first appeared, apparently a foretaste of the artificial intelligence phenomenon for years to come. Same goes for the popularisation of computer animation in the 1990s and 21st century, to the point where you have people clamouring for hand-drawn animation. Even if it makes it easier to undo certain mistakes like the character’s hair being miscoloured or something like that.

An economic collapse will really ruin the entire world and America as well, but one that necessitates changes in alliances if the US is no longer powerful enough. Russia might be among the countries used by God to destroy the United States and its allies, that should it ever happen it might even take over much of Europe as well. Europe had been backsliding for quite a while, so this is enough to have its own comeuppance by having it handed over to Russia. Russia might even do the same to both Canada and America for similar reasons, so there will be a new global west where Russia’s the leader. If I’m not mistaken, Russia sees itself as a third Rome so by then all roads lead to Russia, whether if people like it or not. China’s also rising to the challenge and may even take in some of America’s allies for similar judgements and reasons.

The Philippines will be judged for betraying the Lord that he’ll permanently hand it over to China, almost all things American will be erased here and by extension, nearly all things western as well. If plain old celebrity worship isn’t bad enough, now the Philippines has been influenced by K-Pop (itself an evil thing) to create its own version and its own P-Pop idols. If the Philippines continues to invest in P-Pop, this only hastens the process of not only being judged but also getting handed over to China forever. Then we’ll witness a highly sinicised Philippines emerge, not just culturally but also economically and sociopolitically as well. One that eagerly replaces capitalism with socialism once the Communist Party of the Philippines rises to power and seeks connections to China overthrow American hegemony here, should the US economy decline real badly.

Not only that but it’s also going to be part of Greater China like with China itself, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, a reunified Korea, Timor Leste, Brunei, Indonesian and Malaysia, given China used to influence much of East Asia to varying degrees that it’s getting back more than it had lost before. This is likely why China’s influencing many African countries as well, which will form part of Lesser China alongside Australia and New Zealand. These countries will be the satellite states to Greater China proper, whereas a new Soviet Union will be composed of not only members of the former Soviet Union and the Communist bloc, but also European Union and/or NATO members as well. America will be briefly part of Russia proper before disappearing into the waters forever, but this is a world where America is no longer relevant.

Even if not all of America disappears, the rest would get incorporated into other countries altogether. Russia might hand over Alaska to Canada, Mexico will get back its former territory plus Louisiana and Florida (or rather their remains at best), Hawaii will be given over to China as one of its Lesser China satellites and so on. Given America has been compared to the original Babylon before, it should be noted that Babylon was so corrupt that it got defeated by Medo-Persia and then got incorporated into it. Babylonian influence throughout West Asia and North Africa eventually decreased, maybe not entirely but to the point where it’s hard to realise its influence immediately. Iran/Persia went from using the same cuneiforms as Babylon to adopting Arabic script, eventually Babylon itself would do the same upon the arrival of Islam after the arrival of Christianity and Aramaic.

This is likely one reason why Akkadian has no surviving descendants to this day, whereas Aramaic still does even if many of them are currently endangered. Or for another matter, Sumerian which is a language isolate. American influence is already undergoing the same fate in Europe and Canada, though it remains to be (fore)seen if it will happen just the same in the Philippines. If something does happen here, then English will get replaced by Mandarin. Western names will fall out of popularity as they’ll be seen as colonialist and outdated, native Tagalog names would permanently replace them instead. Western entertainments but most especially American entertainment will no longer be popular here in the Philippines, for these will be despised and at best be seen as old-fashioned and irrelevant. And even if western influence remains here, it’s only to an extent as the Philippines has grown corrupt.

There are even preachers who say that there’s really no point in the Philippines calling itself Christian when it does a lot to the contrary that it’s mostly lip service at this point, it’s even worse when it has the audacity to glorify idolatry when it comes to P-Pop that ultimately this only speeds up Chinese domination of the Philippines in a way. But one that makes one wonder how rebellious the Philippines is and why it’s like Judah, rebellious and then handed over to their enemies. (I’ve read this when I did something like this before.) Except this will be permanent as the Philippines loves what God hates that ultimately American influence will be largely erased, same goes for a general western influence that in the future, the Philippines will be a lot like other East Asian countries in most regards.

Canada might undergo a similar transformation, but one that pivots it closer to both Russia and Europe. It’s already done to an extent as of late, but in the future it will become the norm. Should Russia take over Canada in the future for the same reason China will do to the Philippines, a Russified Canada is just as inevitable as a Sinicised Philippines would. Canada will mostly likely end up as a Russian protectorate whilst America becomes an extension of Russia before disappearing forever, in fact Canada will be used by Russia as a sort of Mexico to rule over America. A lot like the way Spain used Mexico to do this to the Philippines, but when America disappears that’s when Canada stands alone in the Commonwealth of Independent States (then to be renamed as the Russian Union or something).

A reminder that a country called America used to be there in North America, not just geographically but also culturally as Canada’s this Americanised. Even then once America disappear that we’ll witness a very different Canada and Philippines from then on.

Living without America by tomorrow

Given there are prophecies of forthcoming famines and economic collapses coming to the US as well as judgement of the western world, that makes one wonder if it were possible to truly survive without American influence at this point in time and also in the future. It’s one thing to live in a way where there was practically no American influence before, it’s another to live in a world where there is no more American influence that it’s kind of existentially frightening at times. Considering that America has both the world’s largest publishing industry and the world’s largest music industry, it would take really big shoes to fill to make up for a loss. A loss others never foresaw nor wanted, since this is how I feel about missing sermons at times. It would be painful living with a substitute when we want the real thing real badly, which is also how I feel about sermons at some point.

If American influence were to be truly revoked around the world, or even greatly minimised at that, it would be awkward scrambling for viable substitutes to make up for such a profound loss. It’s like what Canada’s doing at this point where it does a lot to seek local alternatives to American products, but since it’s not a superpower like America is that it would be wiser but more awkward to turn to substitutes from anywhere other than America. It would take products and influences from more than 26 countries (especially from both the former Soviet Union and the Communist Bloc, plus Scandinavia) to make up for a loss of American influence in Canada, though it would take time for Canadians to warm up to the likes of Sweden’s Bamse, Norway’s Pondus and Denmark’s Rasmus Klump.

It would take time for Canadians to learn some Russian, Ukrainian and the like to dub such programmes into their languages, it would take time for Canadians to warm up to things like the Russian version of Winnie the Pooh and so on. It remains to be seen if something like Nelvana will dub this version of Winnie the Pooh into indigenous languages like Cree and Ojibwe for instance, or even something like the Ukrainian version of Treasure Island just the same. There’s not much of a language barrier to getting bands like Denmark’s Aqua and Sweden’s Ace of Base getting popularised again in Canada, because they already tend to sing in English a lot. But when American influence is so highly minimised in Canada, that sticking to European and Russian substitutes would be one of a handful of viable alternatives to make up for such a strong loss.

I suspect if Canadian publishers were to develop a habit of translating Russian, Swedish, Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Romanian comics a lot (well among many others), that predictably and consequently Canadian comics will follow European and Russian trends more. At present that due to greater geographical and cultural proximity to America that Canadian comics trends tend to follow or mirror those of their American counterparts a lot, but the loss of American influence could result in something. Maybe it might be a blessing in disguise that for Canada (and the rest of the Americas, sans America itself) that European comics would finally be popularised there, but because American influence has been so greatly revoked that European substitutes would have to take their place instead.

It would be really no different if the Philippines were to rely a lot more on its closest neighbours (Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, China and Laos), since the loss of American influence here would be just as colossal. It would take substitutes from other, similarly highly populous countries in East Asia to make up for this, though it would take time for us to warm up to Chinese and SEA products and influences more. It would be really awkward at first because we want America more deep down inside, so warming up to alternatives would be rather painful at first. Taking time getting used to say the popularisation of traditional Han Chinese clothing (hanfu) in the Philippines and the like would be just as jarring at first, even if or when such alternatives would inevitably be adopted to make up for a loss of US influence here.

For those seeking a less westernised Philippines, this might be the right time to do so given America’s waning influence. It remains to be seen if Philippine publishers are willing to translate the likes of Oriental Heroes and McDull into Tagalog, as well as personally translating something like Chi’s Sweet Adventure and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure as well. But the loss of American influence would necessitate the need for substitutes, however awkward and painful it may be since we crave America more deep down inside. I feel it would be tough for some Filipinos to warm up to something like not only Bumilangit, but also something like Ashita no Joe. It would be really awkward to think that American superheroes and their ilk might eventually decline a lot in popularity, that non-American substitutes would inevitably take their place from then on.

Since I brought up hanfu before that when it comes to the loss of or eventual decline of American influence in fashion that under their new owners (in a way) Canada and the Philippines would follow Russia and China respectively from then on, which means whatever that’s trending in Russia will follow suit in Canada. Whatever that’s trending in China will follow suit in the Philippines, even if these are rather far from ideal at first. But I feel the loss of American influence in both countries if these were to go with Canada going to Russia and the Philippines going to China, that accepting the substitutes would be a very painful process to go through. Because they still want America to remain in their hearts in some way, they still want the real thing real badly. Maybe some American influence will remain, as God preserves a remnant for years to come.

Some secular American influence will remain as well, particularly pertaining to technology that it will remain for as long as it services Christian ministries around the world. If America were to get revoked from the planet for its evils, that Canada might suffer from a form of survivor’s guilt. Being a stronghold of what was an Anglophone North American civilisation for years to come, it would be in a really awkward position of being both Russia’s sole North American protectorate/territory after America’s disappearance and a reminder that there was a country called the United States of America, culturally speaking. It remains to be seen if nearly all American influence will be revoked in Canada or if some American influence were to remain there for long, most especially in terms of faith/religion and technology.

Possibly sports, music and the like but these are tentative, who knows if Canada will develop a stronger liking for football/soccer once US influence gets revoked there big time. Or the Philippines just the same even though the argument would be stronger in our case, because Filipinos aren’t genetically predisposed towards tallness on average. But even if you have some countries that are predisposed towards it, football takes basketball’s place in terms of popularity there. The most popular sport in both Europe and Africa is football, whereas American sports like baseball and basketball are only really popular in a handful of countries that are also under US jurisdiction like Japan and the Philippines. American imperialism much. Though this might change in the future, whether if these will remain or not.

And even then it’s going to change a lot once American influence either gets revoked or highly minimised the world over.

Politics affecting fashion

When it comes to US Anglophone sources pointing out the influence of conservative politics on the US clothing industry, one would wonder what would happen if similarly culturally conservative countries like China and Russia would do the same to other countries, if they’re given the opportunity to actually influence them for good. Compared to China, Russia’s both economically and culturally conservative. Whilst it’s not known if Russia has its own version of the tradwife phenomenon that the United States does, it’s inevitable Russian fashion trends would make its way to Europe if it’s given the opportunity to get it (it really would if you believe the likes of Celestial). And if you believe certain characters on the Internet, America is Mystery Babylon (the future nation-state in the Bible said to corrupt the world as personified by a woman and then meeting its downfall).

Until lately to an extent, America being a major superpower means it would popularise things their originators never got around to. Something like certain fashion garments that even if they originated elsewhere in the western world, it’s America’s clout that enables it to popularise it more than their originators wished to. It’s like this with China nowadays since Tiktok comes from it, it didn’t originate the short-form video. If anything, it’s America that did through Vine. But what China did is to popularise and modernise it in a way America never got around to, that eventually things like YouTube and Facebook follow suit now. So logically if it were to actually heavily influence the Philippines in any way, there’s a possibility it could influence it sartorially. Maybe not immediately at first, maybe not entirely in a way I’d expect. But it’s going to be noticeable.

And if the Philippines were to adopt socialism as its predominant ideology, as anti-imperialism’s part of socialism, it might do anything to minimise any signs of western influence in itself as much as possible. As a way to truly cut ties to the imperialist west, though it remains to be seen if the Philippines will actually open itself up to the rest of the East other than South Korea. A more plausible situation is that a newly socialist Philippines might look up more to not only China, but also Laos and Vietnam thus forming the four socialist tigers of East Asia, even when there are really no tigers in the Philippines. So it’s also plausible that a newly socialist Philippines will take sartorial cues from these three more, though some of it’s my own wishful thinking regarding how westernised the Philippines is. It wouldn’t entirely get rid of it, it could be greatly minimised at the very least.

But with a prophecy of American influence getting immediately and deeply revoked everywhere and anywhere on Earth, that the Philippines might also lessen its ties to America over time and if America does fail to save it from China, that’s when the Philippines turns its back on America for good. That’s when American influence in the Philippines starts to lessen a lot in earnest, and more quickly than one would expect. To the point where many Filipinos alive today (even myself) would no longer be bilingual in Tagalog and English, but rather Mandarin and Tagalog instead. If Europe might eventually see the good in joining Russia, it’s likely countries like the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan will do the same with China eventually and awkwardly at first. If because America’s on its way to becoming a failed state, that should its economy worsen in the coming years and months, the Philippines might not see it as worthy anymore.

Even if China might not really invade the Philippines as one might realise, America might no longer be in a position to defend or support the Philippines. Especially should a civil war come to it sooner than expected that it would be too busy fighting itself, than fighting for the interests of its allies against its enemies that it would be too weak to support them by then. So this is when American influence will be completely undone in the Philippines, or perhaps earlier than that and even then it would make it seem as if it’s too late for a US company like Disney to start Disney stores in the Philippines. If because towards the 2030s is when the United States meets its doom, it might already be happening now but as it stands, America’s not going to last in its current form and may not get to influence the Philippines a lot this time and by tomorrow. It could be replaced by China or some other East Asian country that’s not South Korea.

But it’s clearly that if political ideology has some effect on one’s dressing, if conservative politics has made Americans dress more modestly then it’s logical that growing ties to China would have Filipinos adopting Chinese fashion trends and phenomena over time. Maybe not immediately but something that could happen in the future, it may not always be what I expected but a possibility that it could head in this direction. It’s still not known to me if Russia has its own tradwife movement the way America does, modest fashion’s definitely a thing there or at least it’s on its way towards it, given Russia’s also a superpower that if modest fashion were to grow there and if it does capture all of Europe, it might popularise it in a way its own originators don’t get to. In some regards, it would be like a continuation of the modest trend happening these ways.

But one with a Russian slant to boot as the American version of modest fashion’s largely rooted in nostalgia, I feel in order for the Russian fashion industry to catch up with its US and Chinese counterparts, it would take time to do so and it would be reliant on not only China, but also West Asian countries a lot (which are predominantly Muslim) to make up for the loss of US fashion chains. To the point where the resulting Russian equivalent to the US tradwife phenomenon would be nearly equal parts Russian folk costume and West Asian Islamic dress, if Russia does get the rest of the west then their version of modest fashion will follow their Russian counterpart more. Although Europe is closer to West Asia than the Americas by, that’s by merely sharing most of the same landmass together, it’s been under US sociopolitical and socioeconomic influence that it tends to follow America around a lot.

Like a pet begging for food, if Europeans see what Americans have they will want it real badly too. This includes music, technology, movies and of course, fashion, so if something like say grunge fashion trends in America, it will spread to other countries like Britain. If something like hip hop trends in America, it will also eventually trend in both Sweden and Britain too. These have already happened before in the 1980s and 1990s, that a number of European music producers have gotten their start in hip hop in some way. Though American influence still happens, it’s to a lesser extent these days. Reflecting America’s declining status as a superpower that anything America is anything outdated and out of touch with current global realities and preferences, which will grow in the future.

It’s kind of telling that American fashion brands like Forever 21 have found themselves bought by their Chinese counterparts (Shein) suggests that the tide was already turning when it happened a few years ago or perhaps more, one that’s turning in China’s favour and this will not be the last one so far. It’s possible other fashion brands and companies may follow suit in the coming years, especially should the US economy worsen beyond repair. Their best chance at survival is to be bought by a more powerful country’s company, like if some Chinese company like Tenmu buys something like say Urban Outfitters. Urban Outfitters might remain but it would have to cater to the international market more and with newfound Chinese sensibilities to boot, mind you Hollywood studios have already been catering to China before that.

Likewise if some Russian company were to grow big enough to buy something like say The Row, if because the US economy has declined a lot by then, there’s a chance this Russian company would do something about this brand as to gain a lot of traction in the Russian fashion industry. That is a quest for expansion to make up for quite a loss due to the west’s war against Russia, that if you have prophecies of Russia taking over Europe and North America, then it’s reasonable that Russian companies will grow big enough to buy newly struggling western fashion brands in this light. Even then with America’s declining stature that it would be wiser to forge new alliances, especially with countries that turn out to be more powerful than America will be in the future.

New World Order

I’ve been prophesising that after God’s finished with the United States, there will be a new world order consisting of multiple superpowers. But most especially China and Russia being the biggest of the superpowers, given how much territories these two will have as well as the accompanying clout. China will form a global east, especially a Greater China consisting of itself and the rest of East Asia (both all of Northeast and Southeast Asia), coupled with a new Eastern bloc consisting of most African countries (that is the African countries barring South Africa) and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, the other islands). Russia will constitute the new global west, consisting of itself and its myriad commonwealths and protectorates (Canada and all of Europe), and its allies in some parts of West Asia and Latin America.

Canada will be singled out as Russia’s only North American territory it has left, given America will disappear over time or even if it were to remain faintly recognisable, it would be deeply uninhabitable as huge parts of it are either drowned or irradiated. There are actually prophecies of it getting bombed or nuked by its allies, fulfilling a part in the Bible where Babylon became uninhabitable just the same. Even if it meant the original Babylon, but what the Bible said before is still applicable every time and any time in whatever fashion it manifests itself as (the time about consequences got me whacked by my brother before). This is also due to my intercessions as I don’t want Canada to end up like America, but given its own sins, it will be judged and be turned into part of Russia in some way as well.

Mostly for following America a lot that once Russia invades Canada that it will be deAmericanised in a very aggressive fashion, though less severe than what America will be getting. This will primarily concern matters of political correctness, given how politically incorrect Russia comes off as compared to America and its allies (the old west). The new Canada would be Russianised and be made open to degrees of political incorrectness (i.e. intolerant of LGBT lifestyles, polyamory and the like), not necessarily any less English speaking but that its future prime minister will be very sympathetic to Russia enough to consent to joining it after getting invaded. Thus begins the Russification of Canada, as well as all of Europe. But this makes one wonder about the sinicisation of the Philippines.

This is admittedly something that I wanted because I don’t like how westernised the Philippines is, but this will be answered in a way that much of American influence is permanently revoked here. The Philippines will no longer be bilingual in Tagalog and English, but rather Tagalog and Mandarin instead, made less politically correct (given the way China is to America), receptive to Chinese style socialism and quite heavily easternised in culture and politics. Maybe not immediately, though sooner than expected, as God’s set to revoke American influence wherever it went. A very different Philippines that’s actually heavily modelled after China in most ways, with the Communist party becoming the dominant political party from then on.

Whatever happens is a different Canada and a different Philippines, the Philippines will be permanently and deeply sinicised just as Canada will be permanently and deeply Russianised, but as a result of being close American allies that these ties will be undone (though it’s on its way in Canada). There are even prophecies of America actively persecuting Christians, despite America boasting about its past as a Christian colony, that makes for a Kafkasque transformation. But then again America stopped being loyal to God, whoring itself to unholy ideologies and beliefs, that it will be destroyed and finished eventually.

On the lack of Estonians in DC and Marvel

Or at the least the lack of any famous Estonians on par with their Russian counterparts there, where I feel they wouldn’t just be conflated with Russians proper (moreso when the Soviet Union was a thing), but also that they’d be immediately outed for having any possible communist sympathies back then. Even if countries like Estonia and Latvia have finally transitioned to capitalism lately, they’re still weirdly underrepresented in Marvel and DC. I feel it’s much easier for American writers like Jude Winnick to unconsciously have South Korean characters around in place of their Estonian counterparts, or Filipinos for another matter, that despite Estonia and Latvia being technically capitalistic at this point, Americans would rather represent its staunchest, earliest allies over its more recent ones.

This is also why there aren’t any prominent Ukrainians in either DC or Marvel, it’s as if America’s interests in its new allies are oddly conditional and even performative, it’s like they want to stand up to Russia but tend to continually not represent Ukrainians, Estonians, Lithuanians, Moldovans and Latvians despite their newfound penchant for capitalism. Another is a tendency to put prior storytelling canon above recent political and economic developments in these countries, to the point where they didn’t effectively remove the ghost and corpse of the Soviet Union, they just removed the external signifiers of it whilst keeping the corpse around for some reason. America would rather much invest in its earliest allies like Britain, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines, above the newly capitalist Baltic countries, which is telling why there’s not a single prominent Latvian in either DC or Marvel.

It’s weird trying to name a single Ukrainian in the Marvel canon, let alone a supervillain or superhero, that despite America being technically sympathetic to Ukraine, it’s weirdly conditionally performative. Deep down inside that when it comes to the insistence of upholding the status quo, they’d rather represent Russians to this day, instead of sincerely representing Ukrainians, Romanians, Moldovans, Slovaks, Czechs, Poles, Georgians, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians and Armenians. America’s interest in the other former communist countries, especially those that are neither Vietnam nor Cambodia, is painfully conditional and superficial, because America would rather invest in either its allies or the countries it has invaded, over the ones that got invaded by Russia. Americans’ interest in Ukraine is superficial really, or perhaps the Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for another matter.

To the point where despite being technically sympathetic to Ukraine, America never really got over the ghost of the Soviet Union this way.

Don’t Walk Like An Egyptian

It turns out that my prayer to get Canada to join Russia has been answered in a way, but this has to do with Canada being both America’s ally and a waystation for the Russians to get to Mystery Babylon, which means the things that make America superpower will get undermined. If God is a god of the impossible, then he will find a way to undermine America’s standing as a superpower, especially to judge it and its allies for all their wrongdoings. Somebody else compared Canada to Egypt in that both of them are corrupt and then get given over to their enemies, but with America being the worst of them all. America might fare worse by becoming an extension of Russia itself, Canada would become one of many Russian protectorates by then.

Both of them will be aggressively Russified but most especially America, that if America is Babylon then this would make Russia Persia and Canada Egypt (a waystation to convenience God’s comeuppance for America with). To further humiliate the United States, Russia will give Alaska over to Canada. Canada would also be subjected to Russian influence but will be treated practically like a European country, albeit one that’s given a government modelled after Russia’s own. Whilst Canada might appear to stop being a British commonwealth by then, that doesn’t mean it’ll truly become independent. Maybe the new Canadian government wouldn’t be exactly similar to Russia, but that it’ll become a Russian vassal state like with both Britain and Ireland.

But then again the Russian government would also change over time, thus taking a page from the Soviet playbook and then updating it for the 2020s, the new Canadian ministry would be a modified version of its Soviet counterpart. The British and Irish governments (and the rest of Europe) would appear to be intact except that their prime ministers are there to follow Russian orders, even the monarchies of Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Liechenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark and Britain will really be following Russian orders just the same. Canada might appear to stop being a British Commonwealth, but that’s on paper and in reality it’s really become one of many Russian protectorates, albeit one that appears to have its first president. In reality, it’s a mirror of Russian’s own but subjugated by Russia itself.

Canada would appear to have kept its culture intact compared to America, but even then it will change over time when Russia does invade and rule over it in a way, perhaps in ways that are kind of shocking. Canada might still be bilingual in English and French, but with Russian having become the lingua franca of all the Russian protectorates. When Canada and Europe both fall to Russia, Russia will do anything to further revoke American influence there. This includes reinstating anti-LGBT laws, among many other things, though Russia might also change for the worst. Even then both Canada and America won’t remain the same when Russia takes over both of them, though it’ll be America that’ll be changed the most. Canada will most likely be governed the same way Russians would to its European counterparts.

And even then Canada will be Russified over time.

When Russia takes over

There is somebody else who also has prophecies of Russia taking over Europe, mostly due to Europe’s own apostasies and backsliding, that inevitably it sown what it reaped and may ultimately fall to its worst enemy. Beginning with some formerly communist countries like Ukraine, Poland and Moldova, before we get to countries that were never part of and/or allied with Russia before. Europe and especially Western Europe was the place that spread Christianity to Africa and East Asia, to the extent that their former colonies house either substantial Christian populations themselves (Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Nigeria and Malaysia) and/or are majority-Christian like their colonisers (the Philippines, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa).

Okay some of them and especially the Philippines might be on their way to backsliding like Spain as well, but Europe has been backsliding for decades for whatever reason and circumstance. Europe may be at the forefront of certain things like LGBT rights and the like, but it also goes hand in hand with backsliding, that is eventually doing the spiritually and Biblically unthinkable. So much so as to warrant getting captured by Russia in its entirety, but most especially Christian-majority countries at that. On the cultural side of things, one would wonder if Russian media will actually get popularised there for real as well? It’s historically confined to books for years, but this may eventually encompass others like music and film.

It’s increasingly so when it comes to animations like Russia’s own Winnie the Pooh, which is even more astonishing as these productions were largely meant for a Soviet audience in question. The Snow Queen did get some international release before, though it remains to be seen if it’ll ever get dubbed into Irish at all, assuming if the Irish language gets popularised in other countries for real. Something like Germany, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovenia, many of them being former Eastern Bloc countries themselves (Germany is almost one if it weren’t for East Germany). One would only wonder what would the Carlsen series be like if it got dubbed into French, Italian and Spanish eventually?

Maybe it already did in a way but it remains to be seen if it’ll ever get dubbed into Greek, Finnish and Swedish along the way, Finland used to be part of the Russian empire at some point. But even then it’s going to be pretty shocking to witness something like The Frog Princess get dubbed into Frisian, if possible, whereas many European audiences are already used to their Disney counterparts by now. Even then the erasure (or at least minimalisation) of American influence in the world and the growth of Russian influence in Europe and possibly Canada, since I prayed to God to help others cope with it joining Russia, would inevitably pan out as planned, if his plans are greater than ours. Given that America is Mystery Babylon, an utterly corrupting place in the New Testament, this has certain implications.

America didn’t originate things like comics/cartooning, video games and animation (ACG media), but it did help codify and popularise them in a way their originators didn’t get to. This becomes particularly evident when it comes to technologies like the use of rotoscoping spreading to even the Russian and Soviet animation industries and so on, that if it weren’t for American studios like Fleischer Brothers and Disney popularising it, other animation studios wouldn’t have done the same themselves. If it weren’t for Americans starting the superhero fire with characters like the Phantom, Mandrake the Magician (whom Zatanna and her father are based on) and Superman, other countries wouldn’t have followed suit either.

If it weren’t for something like America’s Mortal Kombat using motion capture for fighting games, then Japan wouldn’t have done the same, most notably Tekken and another one called Survival Arts. This also extends to other media like filmmaking where even if some of these techniques didn’t originate in America, America still got to popularise them in a way their real originators didn’t get around to. The loss or at least minimalisation of US influence would leave a big gap in the world at first, because of how influential America is to many human cultures and civilisations. It wouldn’t be a complete loss, but its disappearance would be big enough to feel kind of emptied. It’s already decreasing among some of America’s former allies like Canada and Europe.

But the loss of American influence in Canada and the strengthened growth of Russian influence there would result in a more Europeanised Canada, even if there are some people (especially Native Americans) who feel that Canada’s already an extension of Europe, but it’s going to get more obvious once Canada either joins Russia or falls under it in some way. Something like much more exposure to European media en masse other than those coming from either Britain or France, culturally closer to both Europe and Russia for real than to America, which greatly influenced it a lot just by sharing its language, history and borders together. Canada wouldn’t immediately become Europeanised, but American influence is already getting undone there.

The loss of American influence, whether in Europe proper or in Canada, would necessitate a replacement instead. Or for another matter the same in East Asia outside of China that once these countries get turned over to their enemy (China again), particularly for their own faults, that’s when American influence gets revoked here in earnest. What good does it help for the Philippines to call itself Christian, yet always do what a number know is wrong, that ultimately it will be turned over to China for its own sins that American influence will be permanently undone here. This has been brought up by priests before from listening to sermons online that there’s really no point in the Philippines calling itself Christian, yet knowingly prefer what’s wrong, that it’s be given over to China to the point of no return.

Both geopolitically and culturally, whether if we like it or not. I remember somebody on Tumblr saying that it’s an example of God using evil to deal with evil, which makes sense as he’s a very retributive God. It’s practically no different from him using Russia to deal with both Europe and North America, because they have backslided so much that they’ll be given over to their enemy for good. It’s really no good for such countries to continue losing faith in God that if they’ll be given over to their baser tendencies, then they’ll really be given over to their worst enemy for good. If America were gone from the planet forever, then changes will happen and it’s not going to remain the same.

Even if America itself doesn’t entirely disappear, it will not remain recognisable in any way. There will be another Babylon in the wings, one that will be worse than the current one. But for now, this Babylon will be demolished. This Babylon will have to go, for the Lord gives he also revokes.

ACG Media After America

ACG being a shorthand for animation, comics and games but if America were to stop being a superpower for good, let’s take certain facts at present into consideration. America currently has the world’s largest publishing industry, so subsequently it’s going to have one of the world’s largest comics industry (as it’s a subset of the larger publishing industry). It’s much bigger than in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Jamaica and Armenia put together, whatever comics that do get published there in any way we’d recognise will mostly take on the form of multipanel editorial or newspaper cartoon strips. Case in point would be the cartoons at Guardian.ng, comics publishing does exist in Nigeria. But it’s not a particularly big facet of Nigeria’s publishing industry, maybe until recently, but it seems whatever publishing industry Nigeria does have in any way that can be seen as such mostly rests on either educational materials, journalism, academia, religious literature, children’s literature or sometimes nonfiction in general.

The US publishing industry is significantly bigger and more diverse, encompassing not just substantial swathes of the fiction industry but also the comics industry and the like. It’s big enough to accomodate eclectic stuff like newspaper cartoons (including Garfield and Peanuts), small press publications (zines), magazines (anything at DC, Marvel, Image, Dark Horse and Archie), translations of Japanese comics, original graphic novels and webcomics in print form. Nigeria doesn’t have that to the same extent America enjoys so if the US ever declines in power, so will its publishing industry that either creating or accepting substitutes is going to be the norm from then on. Whilst other countries like Denmark and Sweden fare somewhat better than those of Ghana and Nigeria, it still pales in comparison to the scale of their US counterpart. Like supposing if the US publishing industry declines together with the overall US decline, then that’s going to have some big shoes to fill.

There are some people who even say that America is Mystery Babylon, the nation-state said to corrupt the entire world as mentioned in the final book of the Bible, Revelation. That it houses so many abominations despite its start as a Christian colony makes one wonder why it took such a dark turn over a period of time that no sooner or later God will revoke it and minimise, if even undoing much of its influence all around the world. It’s already there in Canada and Europe, but more are underway that it’s going to be scary to find a world where Superman’s not just no longer published, but also obscured over time. When praying or interceding for a variety of Canadian cartoonists and writers, I wrote down prayers to help them cope with Canadian publishers translating comics from not just the former Soviet Union and Communist Bloc, but also Scandinavia as well. All of them put together wouldn’t necessarily come this close to the scope of their US counterpart.

But with America going into decline that subsequently and consequently its own publishing industry will diminish as well that seeking out substitutes would be one of the more sensible options, though the other one would be substantially growing domestic comics industries. These two used in tandem with one another would involve having to fill in big shoes left by America that this is going to be the best they can come up with to make up for what’s lost, surely people will no longer read the adventures of Batman and Deadpool but they can learn to warm up to the likes of Bamse, Rasmus Klump and Pondus eventually. Similar things can be said of the Philippines though in this case I prayed for various local cartoonists to cope with Philippine publishers translating comics from Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia and the like. Partly because the Philippines is too westernised for its own good, so losing US influence would actually enable it to reconcile itself to the east.

This would be no different with praying for others to cope with Philippine publishers translating books from China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia, but both serve to make up for a loss left by America’s decline. Not to mention a serious earthquake could potentially destroy some US publishers, even taking portions of the US comics canon with it, that if these can’t be recovered in any way publishers like that they’d have to resort to mirrors of their comics elsewhere. If not, then substitutes would do. So both Philippine and Canadian publishers are left with two options: either seriously commit to cultivating their local comics industries or to translate comics from countries other than America, but using both can help make up for a profound loss. It would take time for Filipinos to cozy up to substitutes like the Bumilangit canon, Oriental Heroes, McDull and McMug, but these would do if America’s no longer a superpower anymore.

It would take time for even Irish publishers to translate comics coming from Germany, France, Italy, Poland and Slovakia, but these would do if American comics are no longer read and enjoyed by Irish people. It would be far from ideal but it’s also going to be as good as it gets to make up for a big loss, given how America currently supplies most better-known and popular western ACG stories. One would wonder if Foxi and Fixi would even get translated in Irish at all, or for another matter things like Guardiani Italiani which is kind of reminiscent of DC and Marvel enough to not make others feel left out. Considering that America has one of the world’s largest publishing industries that if it ever does go into decline, with its influence getting revoked all over the world, that seeking out substitutes in whatever form they appear in would be the more realistic option.

It’s not the best option (given how I feel about seeking substitutes whenever something goes missing) but if the loss of US influence is going to be permanent, given America is Mystery Babylon, then we’re going to deal with the longterm loss of US influence anyways. There will be no more further adventures of Batman, Superman, Deadpool, Iron Man and Captain Marvel, though who knows if future Canadians are even going to enjoy reading the adventures of Rasmus Klump, Bamse and Pondus instead. Drawn and Quarterly has already translated Finland’s Moomin cartoon strips, so it could plausibly translate Rasmus Klump and Bamse into English eventually. Assuming if these two never got translated into English at all, though similar things can be said of other things like Jasso-kissa, which is also from Finland. But this results in a more Europeanised Canada.

Considering that Canada’s much closer to America than it is to Finland, Sweden and Poland that cultural exchanges between these two is going to be inevitable, though this doesn’t apply to the Philippines for some ironic reason as it’s closer to Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia than it is to America. In the Philippines’s case it’s got more to do with the persistent ghost of American neocolonialism where at any point where Philippine publishers could’ve translated Indonesian publications into the Philippine vernacular, this never really happened as of now even if America’s decline should enable us to get around to doing this in the future instead. Even then the loss of US influence in both Canada and the Philippines would force these two to seek alliances with other countries more, however awkward it may be when it comes to Russia and China.

When it comes to the animation side of things (which also includes video games to an extent), much of the former Soviet Union fares better there. Surely it wouldn’t exactly equal the quantity of animated franchises coming from the United States but it’s going to be a bit better than with the comics wing of the ACG industry, though who knows if Nelvana’s ever going to dub Soviet era productions like the Winnie the Pooh series and both Treasure Island films into indigenous Canadian languages like Cree, Ojibwe and the like. As for the Philippines that without American influence getting in the way in the future that it’s actually going to get Asianised for real, not just dubbing Japanese animations and translating Japanese comics. But also doing the same things to their Malaysian, Indonesian, Chinese, Thai, Burmese and Cambodian counterparts, that the Philippines finally gets real cultural exchanges with the rest of the east.

I even said before that despite the Philippines’s Koreaphilia, not a single Philippine publisher bothered to translate Korean comics and books into Tagalog. They could get a better idea of what else is going on in South Korea and to learn more about South Korea in a way relying on US publishers’ accounts of it wouldn’t do because it’s coming straight from actual Koreans themselves, albeit potentially translated into the Philippine vernacular. Surely you could say that Filipinos aren’t avid readers but this hasn’t stopped the Philippines from importing books and publications directly from the US itself, so whatever Korean influence that currently exists in the Philippines is a distant second to its US counterpart. Translating a lot of Korean books and comics into Tagalog results in a stronger Korean influence here, since at present it’s confined to live action productions, food and music.

And even with music it practically begins and ends with K-Pop, with not much attention paid to K-Ballads, Trot and K-Rap. Meanwhile the Philippines is exposed to the full spectrum of American music, not just American pop and rock but also US rap, ragtime music, CCM and jazz. The loss of US influence here would upend things and for Filipinos other than myself who want a less westernised Philippines, this could be the moment for the Philippines to actually be influenced by the rest of East Asia a lot more. This could also result in a bigger Korean influence here than at present because Philippine publishers would actually get to translate Korean publications into Tagalog, but it doesn’t have to be the only Asian influence around. Japanese influence is also really limited here, since it’s practically confined to ACG (mostly animation with comics and games trailing behind).

Though there are some Filipinos who do watch live action Japanese productions and listen to Japanese music, it’s really not that popular compared to many more Filipinos enjoying their US counterparts more. You’re more likely to find Filipinos vibing to the likes of Missy Elliot, Lizzo, Eminem and Chappell Roan, than they would with say Hikaru Utada, Malice Mizer, Bucktick and Gackt. You’re more likely to find American publications like National Geographic and Discovery in Philippine shelves, than you would with say Tagalog translations of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Fist of the North Star. There are practically no Philippine editions of Japanese magazines like Weekly Shonen Jump, Nakayoshi and Ultra Jump, whereas you easily find Philippine editions of Vogue, Marie Claire and Esquire. It might not be entirely this comparable, but it’s telling which country the Philippines is more biased towards.

Even if the Philippines isn’t particularly so antagonistic to Japan at this point, Japanese influence is really limited which explains why there’s a near paucity of Tagalog translations of things like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Nana. Philippine radio stations don’t play this much Japanese music either, in fact I don’t think they even play the likes of Hikaru Utada and Hamasaki Ayumi that often compared to say Taylor Swift and Beyonce. Even if not all Filipinos use radio to listen to music, the sort of foreign musicians they’re much likelier to listen to (if they’re not Korean) are more likely to be American. There are Filipinos who listen to British bands and musicians, but I don’t think there are Filipinos who listen to musicians from non-Anglophone, non-Korean bands this much other than their own. Not that OPM is bad, but it’s rare to find Filipinos who listen to the likes of Fabri Fibra and Mina Mazzini.

It’s possible similar things can be said of Canada to the point where it practically struggles to have a identity truly distinct from America, it’s not uncommon to find Canadians enjoying American publications, listening to American musicians, watching American productions and playing American games. There are Canadians who do listen to European bands and musicians, but most of them are going to be Anglophone even when they’re not from Anglophone countries (something like Roxette and Ace of Base). Maybe Francophone musicians and bands to some extent, but it’s pretty rare for Canadians to listen to a lot more music from Germany, Greece, Italy, Russia and the Netherlands, let alone that’s not in the English language. Comes to think of it this way, there are really no Canadian editions of specifically European publications like Spirou.

Maybe I’m wrong about this one but it’s kind of telling that it’s far more common to find Canadian cartoonists working for US publishers than they would with their French, Italian and Dutch counterparts, speaking from my own observations, not helped by that Canada’s this close to the United States that Canada will always risk coming off as America lite to everybody else in the world. Losing American influence in Canada might enable it to stand out from its shadow more, but alternately speaking Canada might end up as the biggest reminder of any residual American influence left in the world if America’s set to disappear from the planet forever. This is particularly evident when it comes to certain facets like accents, holidays and sports that even if American influence does get revoked from Canada, it could still wound up as a kind of backup America.

Maybe not entirely a backup America but reminiscent of America enough to stand out when America proper is gone forever, even if it does get Europeanised over time. Supposing if Canadian publishers ever commit to and suceed at translating a lot of Russian, Czech, Polish, Slovak, Romanian, Hungarian, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Danish comics, especially once where there’s a serious paucity of US comics out there in the future, Canada could get Europeanised along the way anyways. Even if some US influence resides in Canada, admittedly this is going to be the most frightening part of what would happen if there’s really no more America in the world, regarding what’s going to happen to Canada. But at best it’s a really awkward Schrodinger type situation where Canada’s both more Europeanised, yet also a reminder of any American influence left in the world.

In the sense where future Canadians have grown up on Soyuzmultfilm’s versions of Winnie the Pooh and Snow Queen as lovingly dubbed by Nelvana, Ukraine’s Treasure Island and Alice as loving dubbed by Nelvana just the same and so on. But where there are still cowboys (if possible), the rhotic North American accent, gridiron football, basketball and so on, another awkward situation that Canada finds itself in but one where it’s the biggest instance of any surviving American influence left on the planet. There are even some people who say that America is Mystery Babylon, the nation-state said to corrupt the entire planet with its filth and abominations, to the point where even America’s surrounded by multiple waters and is a superpower.

It’s even going to get drunk on the blood of saints (Christians) that it’s going to persecute them for real, you might even say that it’s already happening but the worst is yet to come. The loss of American influence could even be a blessing in disguise that for those who dislike America a lot, this would be a reprieve now their own countries could get more strongly influenced by their neighbours. Or even Russia and China if some are biased towards either one or both of them, but this is going to be a future where even if America remains, it’s a post-American future either way where America is no longer a superpower. At worst, American influence is largely erased for good, thus leaving behind a strongly Europeanised Canada and a strongly Asianised Philippines.

It would be really awkward having to make up for a big loss left by America’s passing, but substitutes would need to do because these are going to be gone forever. Even if some American influence remains in the world, that will be all there is to it. Centuries after Babylon’s passing, there are still both mathematics and astronomy, along with Babylonian contributions. But aside from being a substrate to both Aramaic and Arabic in Iraq, that’s all there is to it as of now. There is growing franchise fatigue for US media properties like Lucasfilm and Marvel, whereas the Ukrainian Treasure Island blew up online regarding memes like the Doctor Livesay walk. It shows you that you needn’t extensive advertising to draw in audiences, all it has to do is to be interesting outside of its intended audience.

That’s actually even more astonishing as these films were intended for a specifically Soviet audience, but drew in a crowd outside of it in a way Star Wars couldn’t even do in China or Marvel in Japan. But one would wonder if global audiences may in fact be sincerely interested in stories coming from outside of America, even from its rivals like Russia and China of all things, like there’s a possibility that these two are capable of churning out admirable entertainment products that draw in audiences outside of their own. In fact without even trying if Ukraine’s Treasure Island films are any indication, something Disney couldn’t and would never succeed at doing when it comes to aiming the Star Wars canon at Chinese audiences. America might have peaked at this point, so it has to let China and Russia take the spotlight instead.

Fight For This Lack of Love

Alison Pound has another prophecy but one concerning growing racial/interethnic strife among American citizens, be they white, black/African descendant or West Asian and East Asian, that it seems the American melting pot of disparate ethnicities have turned out to be oil and water together. Two things that don’t mix together with one another, but racial tensions have always been a feature and not a bug of American life throughout the ages. It didn’t end with Martin Luther King and Malcolm X demanding racial equity, or Vincent Chin getting killed or Japanese Americans being freed from concentration camps. Any mistrust between many black, white, East Asian, Native American and West Asian individuals is so commonplace that actually consistent racial harmony between them is rare.

Maybe not as rare as I make it out to be but not as common as it should be, racial segregation may not technically be a thing anymore. But the aftereffects linger in some, albeit unexpected ways, especially since and when African Americans have long been marginalised as to practically live in their own world. Whilst on paper Asian Americans appear to do better than their peers, but they’re just as marginalised and loathed, albeit in a different way regarding things like how different their cultures are to white Americans and so on. Even if this isn’t true for all East Asians and their westernised descendants over a variety of matters, it still risks feeling like they never get to measure up to their white counterparts when they technically and arguably do.

It seems no matter what good they do to assimilate into white American life, they’ll never truly measure up to their white counterparts. These aren’t unique to America as other countries like France also have many of the same racist stereotypes towards these peoples, in fact France even has the same racist stereotypes about both East Asians and the East Asian diasporas. Britain has similar issues regarding the now shrinking African Caribbean community, which others say are practically the British equivalent to African Americans in the United States. If God allows Americans to be given over to any of their sins, this is what’s going to really happen and there’s going to be real racial/interethnic strife that puts others to shame.

The best scenario for American Christians of all ethnicities is to leave America for good in favour of other countries. To be fair, some Americans already have. Especially a number of African Americans who’ve left the US for Ghana, though there are also Americans who live in the rest of the old world just the same. America is a deeply divided nation on some regards, one that can’t stand still for long. It may not always be about race/ethnicity, but it still stands regarding the persistent conflicts that undermine the American dream. Another recurring point in many of Pound’s prophecies is that America is Mystery Babylon, the nation-state said to corrupt the entire world. If this is true then there are clues to this nation-state before we get to its New Testament iteration, notably how it’s west of both Egypt and Ethiopia.

But since Morocco, Algeria, Nigeria, Ghana and the like (or rather kingdom-states that will become these countries, just as the Ashanti Empire is the direct precursor to Ghana) never became as powerful as America is, even when put together, so this new Babylon is probably somewhere in the western hemisphere. These Babylonians speak in a language unfamiliar to Old Testament writers like Isaiah, where given the original Babylon was the reigning great power in their day, that he and his peers would’ve known some Akkadian to get by with their neighbours. Akkadian being the language that was spoken in what’s now present day Iraq, alongside Sumerian which it inherited its orthography from. If Russia sees itself as a third Rome, then it’s reasonable to call America a third Sumer as the second Sumer is Babylon itself.

But one with a far-reaching influence across the globe for better or worse that even if there are concepts, technologies and ideologies that didn’t originate in America itself, as America is a major superpower that it will popularise them in a way their originators didn’t get to, to the same extent as America does. Animation didn’t originate in America but what America did is to popularise and codify it to the extent that American animators have pioneered some techniques and conventions animators of other nationalities would use today. It would be pretty scary if God allows undoing of American influence to occur all over the world, but it’s already there in Canada and Europe so it could be underway elsewhere. Consider what became of both Sumer and Babylon.

Though God used one of them to deal with his people’s sins but the fact that Babylon was so corrupting that even some knew there’s something wrong with it and he mercifully got rid of Babylon, to the point where much of its cultural influence was erased or undone over time. Maybe not totally as it’s still there in astronomy and mathematics to some extent, but no Iraqi alive today speaks in a modernised descendant of either Sumerian or Akkadian. Maybe as a substrate, but that’s all there are to them. Iraqis today are much likelier to speak Arabic and maybe Aramaic to some extent, Iranians did use the Sumerian alphabet before but now they use the Arabic version instead. Whatever Babylonian influence that existed in present-day Iran and Iraq is now replaced by a stronger, longer-lasting Arabic one instead, no surprise why they’re much likelier to be Muslim than follow Akkadian polytheism.

As for Canada and various Canadians, I’ve been praying for the latter to not only cope with their country joining Russia but also their own culture getting Russianised in some areas. Namely literature, music and food, supposing if totally supporting its own businesses is not enough and even at present, Canada’s considering stronger diplomatic and economic ties to Europe and Mexico. If it ever consents to joining Russia in any way, then it will be Russianised to a likely extent. On the subject of fur farming that since these two share latitudes and also have a similar range of climates and biomes, Canada could potentially become more like Russia if America didn’t get in the way. Also Canada was in the habit of fur farming before, but now it’s considered politically incorrect to get into it. This sentiment’s also there in Russia but to a lesser extent, since Russia seems more politically incorrect than America and its allies.

So politically incorrect as to ban anything that counters its morals and values, not just LGBT matters but also that of antinatalism/the childfree ideology. If Canada were to willingly join Russia, it remains to be seen if Russian influence will be rubbed off on Canada, whether if this includes less hesitation towards fur farming not seen in years. America didn’t really originate animal rights activism but its status as a superpower, especially towards those in its sphere of influence, means it’s going to popularise and codify it in a way Britain and France don’t get to much, now that they’re middle powers at best. Same goes for multiculturalism and political correctness, America as a superpower will succeed in popularising these ideologies that Britain, France, the Netherlands and Spain (all former European superpowers and colonial empires) will follow suit.

As somebody who habitually visits foreign language websites and nonwestern websites, there’s something very dubious about America that’s practically and generally antithetical to Russian, Chinese, Arab and African values, regarding certain matters that feel like it’s making a mountain out of a molehill at times. Given a number of these beliefs and ideologies that America popularises are also highly antithetical to Christian/Biblical values that it truly is deserving of the moniker of Mystery Babylon, now on the verge of civil instability due to its doublemindedness and a divided nation-state that’s not going to remain in its present form. It doesn’t help that there are some places in America that are called Babylon as to give away its true identity in the Bible. If there’s punishment for willful sin (as it is for me before), then this goes double for America and its allies.

Offering religious freedom and being majority-Christian (on paper), but are practically apostate and reprobate as to warrant giving them over to their enemies (as it did to me before). The Philippines will be given over to China permanently for its own willfulness and evil, the same goes for both Canada and Europe to Russia and America will be colonised by both Russia and China. The Soviet Union will actually return but bigger than it was before and including much of Europe and North America, exempting the Caribbean and Mexico. Canada will be one of its protectorates, alongside Britain, Belgium, Luxembourg and others, but America will be made into an extension of Russia proper. That shouldn’t even be surprising not just because of what America did.

But also because Alaska was one of Russia’s former colonies, to the extent that there’s a dialect of Russian there. Supposing if Alaska does join Canada, which in turn joins Russia as one of its colonies/protectorates/commonwealths, then it would be a return to form in a way. It would be more shocking if the entire contiguous America ever falls under Russian occupation considering that both Russia and America were major rivals during the latter half of the 20th century until the 1990s, America being fiercely capitalist and Russia being fiercely communist. There was something of a space race between the two, with each superpower sending their people to space but only America beat Russia when it comes to sending the first person to the Moon.

It should be noted that the Soviet Union had room for entertainment. Most notably its own versions of Alice In Wonderland, Winnie The Pooh, Treasure Island (which spawns memes), Peter and the Wolf, Jungle Book, Snow Queen and The Little Mermaid, a few of them came before their Disney counterparts (Frozen, The Little Mermaid starring Ariel and Treasure Planet). Conversely speaking, America and its allies have the audacity to cultivate an entire industry of glorified toy adverts, you may know these as My Little Pony, GI Joe, Gundam, Macross and the like. Animated programming that needs to go hand in hand with actual toys, an example of the most brazen capitalism ever unleashed. It could be said that many Warhammer 40K novels are glorified print adverts for the Warhammer 40k games and toys.

Another example of brazen capitalism aimed to make people spend a lot on brands, if America didn’t make it socially acceptable to do so (starting with the Little Lord Fauntleroy with Fauntleroy clothes and Buster Brown cartoons when it comes to shoes and the like), then other nations like Japan and Britain wouldn’t follow suit either. I’m getting my history wrong but as America’s a deeply capitalistic country, that if it weren’t for its habit of making wanton adverts for toys, games and books, other countries wouldn’t have followed suit to this extent. Japan wouldn’t get the idea of having a media mix for its own ACG properties if it weren’t for America setting a precedent with Buster Brown, Felix the Cat and Mickey Mouse, whatever merchandise that existed for Soviet Snow Queen and Pooh were minimal at best when the Soviet Union was still a thing.

Meanwhile for their capitalistic Disney versions it’s the opposite where there’s no shortage of merchandise for both of them up to the present day, you might say there’s even an overabundance of those especially at some point for Frozen. There’s practically no shortage of merchandising for something like Stitch, perhaps even moreso for its latest iteration as a live action film. One would wonder if Russia ever displaces America as the face of the west, would things be just as bad as the old boss? Or just as good as the old boss? As Russia doesn’t seem too heavy on political correctness relative to America that perhaps if Europe and Canada ever consent to joining the former, that perhaps they could become less politically correct over time though the actual degree is unknown for now.

As for Canada, considering that it even has a similar range of climates, latitudes and biomes comparable to Russia, it could potentially become more like Russia if it weren’t for America getting in the way. To reiteratre, America didn’t originate animation and animal rights, but it did popularise and codify them in ways no other country got around to the same extent that it did in its prime. If both Russia and China were to rise to the challenge (which they arguably already do) and replace America together, then they will popularise and codify things other countries don’t get to. Maybe they already do to a generous extent, but it’s still telling where things are heading. And if Russia does get a hold of Canada and America at all, then they too will be Russianised.

Even if America does have some good things about it, but as Mystery Babylon most odds are stacked against its favour. Imagine how shameful it is to live in a country that not only houses prominent Anglophone ministries, but flagrantly housing a big porn industry that it gives a clue to what it turned out to be. As pornography’s derived from the word for prostitute, and America does house proper prostitutes, so it’s no surprise why Mystery Babylon is referred as the mother of prostitutes because it is one itself. One would only wonder why would America popularise the sexual revolution and not some other country, even if the sexual revolution didn’t originate in America but what America did is to make it fashionable. Other ills didn’t originate in America as well, but America popularises them just the same.

So America is Mystery Babylon all in but name, moreso than Iraq at present, which is saying. Celestial even said that Russia’s more righteous than America is, or least has a consistently stronger conscience and more judicious over certain matters than America does. China didn’t have a substantial Christian population until recently and even then it will never be Mystery Babylon, despite its own shortcomings, whereas America’s so politically unstable and double-minded that another civil war’s happening again in years. So begins the end of America as we know it, Donald Trump just deployed armies in US cities. But I have a feeling this could spread to the suburbs, if not the countryside. Even then America’s unravelling in a bad way, it could still be around but not in its current form.

Perhaps if these things are meant for a season, so is America.

Too Late To Turn Back Now

Given the many prophecies surrounding America’s forthcoming decline as a superpower that it’s practically going to be too late for Warner Bros to reboot its DC cinematic universe, or for Disney to propagate a series of Disney stores in the Philippines, especially if God’s out to revoke American influence wherever it went. It’s already there in Canada and Europe, but other countries will follow suit. The Philippines might follow suit in a different way but mostly from being so angry at America for not saving it from China in time, that it’s going to betray America and willingly go with China anyways. Celestial said something similar but with European countries eventually warming up to Russia just to preserve their sovereignty, lest Russia attack any one of them at any point.

This would also be the same for countries like South Korea and Japan that if/when America fails to save them from China, they will revolt and betray it like with the Philippines and would willingly ally with China more out of spite together. These three countries will ally more with China to spite the United States for not saving them in time, that this is when American influence in all three of them will be earnestly and deeply revoked or undone in some way. Their people will willingly join China’s army in an attempt to attack and destroy the United States, if destroying it with a natural disaster isn’t bad enough. Not only that both China and the rest of East Asia (including all of Southeast Asia) will form their own version of either the Soviet Union or the European Union, with Mandarin as the lingua franca of all of them.

The African countries will be its satellite states, in the same way Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland and half of Germany were satellite states of the Soviet Union, thus forming a global east. American influence will be so largely undone in the Philippines in such a short time that this will mark a particularly Kafkasque transformation for this country, one that becomes much more like other East Asian countries both culturally and ideologically. Maybe not exactly but then again I don’t like how westernised the Philippines is at present, I remember the time when I prayed to God to cope with the Philippines becoming heavily influenced by China that he’s going to answer it in an unexpected way.

But one where American influence is largely and permanently revoked here, so by then the Philippines will no longer be bilingual in Tagalog and English. Rather it’ll be bilingual in Tagalog and Mandarin instead, its government and politics will mirror that of China, with its own socialist party becoming the dominant party in its future. Its own culture will be largely sinicised in a shockingly short period of time, but that goes hand in hand with undoing much American influence here. There will be no more Disney stores in the Philippines, Philippine stations will no longer play American music anymore, American books will no longer be sold in the Philippines and so on. A very different Philippines from now, but one that’s deeply anti-American out of spite because Uncle Sam can’t save it from China in time.

So it’s going to backstab the US and ally more with China instead, because America’s far too dysfunctional and weak to even save it from China and it’s unable to fix itself in time, thus becoming a laughingstock in the coming months and years. Even before this, America will go through a serious civil war not seen in years. It’s going to happen in a few years or weeks from now, perhaps much sooner than expected should political violence ever escalate to such heights, that it’s going to be worse than the previous one. Actually if it were to happen much sooner than expected this year, especially with escalating ideological conflicts reaching a boiling point, that no sooner or later liberals will beat up Trump supporters.

Then Trump supporters will return in kind with the army behind their backs, resulting in perhaps the worst civil war of the twenty-first century. I feel the death of Charlie Kirk could trigger another civil war in America, but one with profound parallels to the Italian Guelph and Ghibelline wars. Early on the Guelphs were those allied with the pope, the Ghibellines were those allied with the Holy Roman Empire. Eventually the Guelphs would splinter into two factions, with one half supporting Pope Boniface VIII and the other wanting less papal influence. Though something similar has happened in America before, I feel the forthcoming US civil war in the coming months would strongly parallel its Italian counterpart a lot.

Despite calling itself the United States of America, it’s a deeply ideologically divided country. Some states are politically right wing, some states are politically left wing. America is a doubleminded nation on the verge of civil instability, but this year and the next it’s going to reach a boiling point. One would wonder if the US right, despite its religious affinity, would more accurately be seen as the modern day Ghibellines as their Holy Roman Emperor is Donald Trump himself. But it would make the US left the modern Guelphs in the sense of wresting control from a very political figure, even if the comparisons are kind of imprecise and kind of inaccurate to some. Donald Trump isn’t any Holy Roman Emperor.

But one would wonder if Charlie Kirk might represent the American equivalent to Franz Ferdinand, who was even married and whose own death led to World War I. He even got assassinated by a certain political revolutionary, sort of like what Charlie Kirk ended up getting. So there’s really nothing new under the sun, only this time it’s taking place in North America rather than in Eurasia. If his own death and eventually that of Trump’s, coupled with America’s own downfall as a superpower, would lead to not only another US civil war but also the start of World War III. One that’s even fought with nuclear bombs attacking the US mainland, where many of America’s allies have turned against it enough to even willingly cozy up to its enemies out of spite.

The beginning of the end of America has been underway, though an earthquake would hasten things quite a lot. One that will succeed in undermining its economy a lot and quite effortlessly so, that it’s in utter disarray and it can’t come back in any way it wants it to be. A civil war would be incremental to hastening America’s decline as a superpower, that ultimately it’s never going to be powerful again. America might not immediately become an afterthought in the near future, but it’s going to be forgotten over time anyways especially from its current form, that it’s going to be shocking that it was once a superpower. It was once a powerful empire, but it’s no more these days.
