#WebsiteBylineTimes #IRLAuthorPeterJukes "Epstein was a regular visitor to the UK, even beyond his connections to Ghislaine Maxwell and Andrew Mountbatten, and he kept a keen eye on UK finances and politics. Across the recently released messages and emails, he treats Britain's vote to leave the European Union in June 2016 as both a political realignment and a trading opportunity - something to be shorted financially and leveraged geopolitically. As he writes to Peter Thiel about the chaos caused by the referendum, 'Brexit is just the beginning.' To that wider end, beyond his Silicon Valley and Russian manoeuvres, Epstein was devoting considerable time and intellectual capital to a major project led by the former head of the Trump Campaign, and White House chief of staff, Breitbart publisher and Cambridge Analytica co-founder, Steve Bannon, who had lost his job as White House Chief of Staff and was looking for a new role. He found it initially in a pan-European populist 'Movement', founded by Nigel Farage's partner Laure Ferrari and allies like People's Party leader Mischaël Modrikamen in 2017, and initially fronted by Bannon's close friend -- Nigel Farage himself. It was registered in Brussels with a mission to unite 'populist and conservative movements in Europe,' defending 'national sovereignty' and 'effective national borders'. Behind the scenes, Jeffrey Epstein emerged as Bannon's patron and strategist for the movement, providing financial advice on how to avoid financial scrutiny, offering transport and accommodation and introductions to key figures in Europe. Throughout the turbulent Brexit interregnum, as Theresa May's Government struggled to find a European exit which was acceptable to the Eurosceptic right, Bannon was flying into the UK, organising the opposition. In 2018, Bannon told Epstein he was meeting Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Jacob Rees-Mogg, to corral them to topple Theresa May. The author Michael Wolff wrote to Epstein that he was an intermediary with leadership challenger Boris Johnson." https://bylinetimes.com/2026/02/03/in-putins-orbit-the-crypto-politics-of-jeffrey-epstein-and-peter-thiel/ #IRLBusinesspersonJeffreyEpstein #IRLSocialiteGhislaineMaxwell #IRLFamilyRoyalUKAndrewMountbattenWindsorAKAHRHPrinceAndrew #PhenomnBrexit #OrgEU #2016_ #IRLEntrepreneurPeterThiel #PhenomnBrexitReferendum #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #NMUSBreitbart #IRLPoliticalStrategistSteveBannon #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyNigelFarage #OrgClassifPPFRDeboutLaFranceDLFLaureFerrari [Wikipedia] #OrgClassifPPBEPartiPopulairePPMischaelModrikamen [Wikipedia] [Wikipedia] #PhenomnPopulism #PoliticsSovereignty #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyTheresaMay #PoliticsEuroscepticism [Wikipedia] #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyBorisJohnson #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyJacobReesMogg #IRLJournalistMichaelWolff [Muckrack] [Wikipedia]

Supplementary #MagazineAUQuilletteMattMcManus "conservatives decry postmodernism for undermining belief in traditional epistemological and moral standards. These criticisms are not especially powerful, since they are largely predicated on a nostalgic desire to hold onto those specific standards regardless of their tenability... Postmodern conservatives increasingly regard strong truth claims about knowledge and morality with active suspicion and even hostility. This is because they regard the intellectual and cultural 'elites' who produce knowledge and popularize moral norms as progressive, abstract, and unlikely to sympathize with their concerns. Rather than attempting to formulate alternative claims about knowledge and morality which might have some epistemic and meta-ethical tenability, postmodern conservatives reject even these standards. Instead, they largely appeal to identity as the locus for epistemic and moral validity. This is, in turn, used to rally political support for a given agenda designed to restore that identity to power." https://quillette.com/2018/05/17/emergence-rise-postmodern-conservatism/ #TheoryPostmodernConservatism #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated

The higher up a hierarchy a lobster climbs, this brain mechanism helps make more serotonin available. ... According to Peterson, hierarchies in humans work in a similar way - we are wired to live in them." https://theconversation.com/psychologist-jordan-peterson-says-lobsters-help-to-explain-why-human-hierarchies-exist-do-they-90489 #MetaphorSpatialHierarchyStratificationSocialLobsterKing #NMUKITVChannel4NewsCathyNewman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMcjxSThD54&t=413s #CauseEqualityGenderPayGap
Addendum postmodernism's focus on contingency leads you towards infinite variation i.e. the a priori of the uniquely differentiated individual (where identity is the only commonality). Paradoxically, this is in contradiction with a social-conservative position, which is simultaneously centred around the a priori individualism and the a priori of shared values albeit ones, which are fixed and necessarily unchallengeable (because of their supposed absolute certainty/truth) e.g. 'family values', 'Christian belief' etc. The problem then for social-conservatives is not postmodernism's centring on the individual but in its attacks of what is understood to be sacred/sacrosanct - in short, *tradition*. #TheoryPostmodernContingency #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation #PoliticsConservatismTraditionalist #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #NarrativeValuesFamily And: #EDUCAMcGillUniversityInternationalReviewMIR https://www.mironline.ca/what-is-post-modern-conservatism/ And? http://politicalcritique.org/world/2018/post-modern-conservatism-or-how-the-right-became-what-it-hated/
