This is probably my ‘favourite’ book in the archonological library. It must be. I’ve bought three versions of it: the original, the recent-ish update and the Audible version. It was in fact listening to the audiobook on a recent road trip that provided the inspiration for the series return. New Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Perhaps […]
“I’m a member of a kind of consortium. We represent certain global interests.” We come to it at last. Tragedy and Hope. The most important book nobody has read. In no small part because it is actually quite dull -except for the parts that precisely describe the formation of a tiny power bloc that largely runs […]
The first actual book we will be looking at in this series is Miles Copeland’s A Game of Nations. It is long out of print and physical copies can often go for hundreds of dollars. But, putting it delicately, in this particular instance Google is your friend. At first glance it may appear surprising that […]
The resurrected series has got off to a great start. What I want to do next is add in the additional, archonological aspects of Zeihan’s presentation in the first post. Thing is, I’ve already done it. It is the middle third of The Devil’s Dice Game -which I presented in the Blue Mountains a few months […]
In many respects, the original archonology series is an evidence-based exploration. At the time, it seemed necessary to explore or demonstrate the materia of various control mechanisms and groups. Directed energy weapons, tax havens, electro-gravitics and so on. The thinking behind it is and remains the proverbial “it only takes one black swan to prove […]
We approach an inflection point in the metaphor. I had several other archonological topics that probably deserve their own megaposts but, as we begin to perceive how the end of this regime will play out, they now appear gratuitous. Some topics are too large and will probably spin off into their own series, others are […]
It took me several days to work out why I felt annoyance at some of the offsite commentary on the ebola piece. Idiots say dumb shit on the internet all the time. It’s probably 90% of the non-porn internet at this point. And besides, nobody promised me a life unoffended. Hand to gods, it’s genuinely […]
How much would it surprise you to learn that Gordon Ramsay is a herald of the end of empire? This is according to a famous British soldier and military strategist who was an active participant in the end of the last one, Sir John Bagot Glubb. He wrote a book -possibly the book- on the subject: The […]
The Weapon Of The Enemy – An Interlude: Archonology (Part 6)
Hello! I'm Gordon and welcome to my blog and weekly podcast, Rune Soup. Here we talk magic, culture, geopolitics, anthropology and the paranormal. I've also written a few books on the same topics, which you may like to check out under 'my books', funnily enough. Find me on
