On the Promethean Action website Susan Kokinda has addressed the difference between the globalists driving the attempt to demolish the extant world, on the one hand, and those who are defending a value system which enshrines reason in the best sense of the word, on the other.

This specific video discussion is tellingly entitled ‘Why they hated Kirk and Socrates,’ and represents a scorching critique of those who valorise the ‘open society’ á la George Soros, and those who subscribe to the conception of reason underpinning the work of the ancient Greek philosopher, Plato. To understand what is at stake, and its relevance for the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a bit of a detour is necessary. 

Anyone familiar with the notion of ‘the open society,’ which is primarily associated with George Soros’s supposed – but arguably spurious – ‘philanthropic’ endeavours worldwide, may know that the phrase was not Soros’s invention, but derives from the work of Austrian-British emigré philosopher, Karl Popper, whose book, The Open Society and its Enemies, launched a vicious attack on Plato’s philosophy as (mainly) articulated in his famous Republic. In passing I should note that another British philosopher, Alfred North Whitehead, famously remarked that the whole of Western philosophy is a ‘series of footnotes to Plato’ – an observation which suggests the opposite evaluation of the Greek philosopher’s philosophical significance than that of Popper. 

In the last segment of her video address, Kokinda contrasts Popper with Plato and his teacher, Socrates. She elaborates on Popper’s hatred of Plato and the influence that this loathing had on the British, particularly those who have shaped what one might call British ‘foreign policy’ – that is, the British agencies which Promethean Action believes have been driving the onslaught against the Western world and particularly against President Donald Trump. Why? Because, as Kokinda and her colleague, Barbara Boyd remind one, Trump is systematically restoring American sovereignty and liberating it from the stranglehold that Britain – what they call the ‘British Empire’ – has had on the United States for at least eight decades. 

Where does Popper feature in this? He conveniently gave his British hosts the excuse to target every embodiment of ‘reason’ in the Platonic sense, namely the........
