Another World is Possible - Guest Post by Wayne John Sturgeon

I think we're about halfway through the Beyond the Ruins story at the moment. Parts 3 and 4 to come within the next few weeks. So here, to break things up, is a guest post from Wayne John Sturgeon, author of the book Albion Awake...



... which I reviewed on the Albion Awakening blog in 2018 here, and organiser of the Visions of Albion conference at Crawley Down, Sussex, in October 2019, at which William Wildblood and myself spoke. 

In the reflection below (which originally appeared in April in the print-only fanzine The Information) Wayne imagines how things might have worked out if a couple of well-meaning types had succeeded in 2030 in going back in time to assassinate Karl Marx. I particularly like his depiction of Britain and Ireland as The Isles of the Northern Sea (IONA) and his evocation at the end of the piece of the transfigured reality which awaits us at the end of the age; what Orthodox theologians (and Wayne is one, I think) call the Eighth Day. It's all good stuff. So enjoy!

Imagine a parallel universe with a different timeline: Russian anarcho-Futurists and Cosmocists from the year 2030 discover time travel in a secret underground base in Switzerland and, in a bid to halt the advent of the New World Order and the arrival of the Biblical antichrist, travel back to late nineteenth-century England. Their aim? To assassinate Karl Marx in the British Library in London.

They figure that this one act will trigger a completely different historical timeline, which will subvert the contemporary historical paradigm that humanity is currently trapped in. This is that of late modernity – a fusion of neo-liberalism with cultural Marxism and religious relativism. They are warned by the sudden appearance of two mysterious religious figures, as if out of thin air, not to do this but to no avail.

With the death of Karl Marx, the anarchist Bakuninn takes over the First International. Instead of the international workers’ movement, embracing an ideology of state socialism, it propagates a mass movement of Proudhonist mutualism and free-market anti-capitalism. The Bolshevik revolution never happens, and in Russia the pacifist and vegetarian Christian anarchist Leo Tolstoy convinces the Russian Orthodox Tsar of the necessity of implementing a Georgist land value taxation scheme to eradicate poverty. This will also empower the Tsar’s loyal and devout peasant population of eastern Christian old believers. There is no Maoist cultural revolution in China. There is no national socialist movement in Germany, and no arms race.

The land reforms of the Russian Tsar are inspired by an American political and economic visionary, Henry George. Being seen as a success, they are also adopted on the other side of the Atlantic, in George’s native USA, and by the British Parliament where they are combined by a theory called ‘social credit’, or a citizens’ basic income. This idea is inspired by the revolutionary but non-violent mass youth movement, the Kibbo Kift Kin, which is led by a Quaker called John Hargrave. The Westminster unionist parliament is dissolved, and devolved into a Britannic Confederation with parliament being transferred to the Isle of Man, at a location where all four brother nations of the UK can be seen with the naked eye. Britain is now renamed ‘Iona’, or the Isles of the North Atlantic. At other times, it is simply known as Albion.

In Europe, the Catholic Church calls for an 8th ecumenical council and removes the ‘filioque’ from its creed in favour of economic distributism, personalism and solidarism in countries where it holds influence. Genuine decentralization and subsidiarity prevails in the varied cultures and nations of Europe, in a completely non-hegemonic fashion.

Inspired by this, the state of Alaska bordering Canada forms a native American Eskimo pan-Slavic Nordic alliance under the name ‘Northern Soul Cathedral’, rumoured in certain circles to be descendants of the lost tribes of Israel. A new spiritual dynamic emerges, a mysticism close to a kind of Christian animism. Some of its adherents believe that the earth, sun and other planets – even rocks and trees – are sentient beings, and that the birth of agriculture was actually the historic Biblical fall – wheat actually being the forbidden food, as evidenced in some ancient Hebraic traditions.

At this time, there is an increase in sunspot activity. This is commonly believed to be causing and triggering major earth changes. According to two famous, mystic scientists – one a Jewish rabbi called Enoch and the other a Greek Orthodox priest called Elijah – this is about to cause a partial pole shift, which they proclaim will be an instrument of God’s judgement on the world.

Certain reactionary currents and deluded activist groups claim these effects are being caused by human CO2 emissions, but they are rightly discerned by most people to be advocates for an anti- humanist death cult and are so ignored.

Along with Iceland, Iona joins the Northern Soul Cathedral. Known as the Brothers of the North, it has a monarchy and its king and mysterious bishop are rumoured in esoteric circles to be mystically related, and descendants of an ancient fifth-century order of bards and druids. Now lost to history, this has a relic of the Lord’s Supper in its possession.

However, there also emerges a counter initiation via an underground occult organization called The Black Sun International, a synarchist cabal of bankers seeking to bring back the usury and finance speculation that had been prohibited by papal decrees. There is a Luciferian faction that is successful in infiltrating and co-opting interfaith organizations to advocate a new perennialism, attempting to unite all religions into embracing a third temple of all faiths. Integral to this is a new peace and safety plan centred upon a document and international treaty called World Village 2030, suggesting that if sunspot activity or even CO2 emissions are causing earth changes, it is time to embrace a global form of central planning or democratic centralism to meet the challenges. This will also reject the worship of a father god figure and instead worship mother earth, symbolized in its promotional literature by the image of a beautiful and seductive woman riding a bull.

The political force for this is known as the Pan European Social Communitarian Union Movement (SCUM). They also believe that a basic income would be better distributed by advances in new technology such as a microchip, and point to how successful this has been in China’s own adoption of social credit by its own Eurasian Communitarian People’s Party.

Also integral to the World Village 2030 vision is the uniting of the three Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. An attempt is made to comprise a common purpose Bible that, on completion and translation by a new Templar fraternity of Freemasons, is published under the titleOrange Catholic Bible. This is greatly influential in providing impetus to the formation of a new One World Religion known as the Harmonic Abrahamic Imperial League (HAIL), which has its headquarters in a building in Germany that strangely resembles the Tower of Babel.

The year 2029 arrives on the Russian cosmocist anarcho-futurist timeline with the advent of the Biblical antichrist. The satanic acceleration finally exhausts itself under the image, mark and name of Ouroboros, the world snake or serpent that devours its own tail. This satanic incarnation and manifestation of organized entropy brings the whole world down in a configuration of cataclysmic forces by the end of the year. Very little of humanity survives, as the cyclical sunspot activity did indeed bring about a partial pole shift in spite of the Black Sun’s peace and safety plan. A remnant of humanity survives, with those nations comprising the Northern Soul Cathedral based around the previous North Pole now at the centre of the world geographically.

They call for an international day of prayer and repentance to be held on the ancient Hebrew festival of Yom Kippur, the biblical Day of Atonement. Leading the prayers that day is the rabbi Enoch and the priest Elijah, and they condemn the impious act of the Russian cosmocists in playing God and attempting to manipulate time, however well meaning. Truly, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

The final conflict comes to be seen and understood as a living icon of non-duality. Time is discovered to be non-linear, as had been commonly understood – running from past, present to future – or cyclical, but rather as emanating from the future. The singularity is Christ in his second coming and so, as the rabbi and priest pray for repentance, suddenly everything and everyone is opened to a blazing trail of light, and a cosmic explosive holism occurs producing a flat ontology as earth particles transform or collapse into a wave, unveiling glory after glory. The world is transfigured into uncreated light. Time is no more.

The rabbi and priest change into two angels holding a lamp in their hands, and they point to an icon of the Holy Trinity known as the Hospitality of Abraham. They sing in unison, “Remember the future. Repentance is the last true rebellion. Another world is possible but it is the same one.”
