Lee Smith, based journalist and Author of The Permanent Coup: How Enemies Foreign and Domestic Targeted the American President, pens perhaps the most poignant, illuminating, and scathing indictment of our elites to date in his newest piece for Tablet Magazine, “Assabiya Wins Every Time”. “Assabiya,” as defined by medieval Arab historian Ibn Khaldun, is the group solidarity that drives the success of the rising tribe when it seeks to overturn an existing sedentary culture, “a civilization that has become weak and luxurious”. Smith argues that our ruling class, what Khaldun called every civilization’s “royal authority,” really began its woke “Globalist American Empire” project to destroy America’s assabiya at the tail end of the Bill Clinton presidency, and that it was at this precise moment that it firmly planted the decadent seeds for its own eventual demise, that which we are now watching unfold in real time. Read Smith’s breathtaking piece on how our establishment’s decay is “not the end of America…just the end of this particular branch of American leadership” here.
