Impressions: Fritz Pointer’s “A New World Is Coming (Here)!?!”

by Rich Scheck

I took the liberty for the purpose of this brief review of Fritz Pointer’s book to alter the title in light of the rapid changes in world affairs since he composed it in 2024 in which he analyzes the “complexities of our interconnected world!”

There is much to praise and little to bicker with as he touches on the key theme of a modernity characterized by the religious justification for exploiting the resources of other people, especially those of a color other than white and particularly of those existing on the African continent.

I’m still at the skimming stage rather than at the plunge deeply, reading stage which explains the reference to impressions above. But I intuitively sense how “right on” this freedom fighter is in his noble call to “keep hope alive” despite the long history of abuses he describes in detail.

And hope did get at least a superficial boost on October 27th in Israel and November 3rd here in the US when “the people” ostensibly cried out “no mas” to war and tyranny with their votes.

As I stated in my own short summary of the post-election results, a strong case can be made that little if anything has changed (as usual) even if a brief glimpse suggests Bibi has been ousted and Trump has been spanked hard by those disgusted with endless, undeclared colonial wars.

Staying with my decision to revise his title, I do so with the full realization that clever folks behind the scenes are adept at manipulating world events and giving the appearance of progress when just the opposite might be the case.

So which is it, Scheck: a new world is “coming” or a new world is “here” after these elections? Well that all depends on which part of the hungry wolf we “feed” as Fritz alludes to near the end.

It sure appears that the fascistic leaders have been rebuked but simultaneously, the war machine churns harder with the real prospect of US/Israeli MIC integration and the weaponization of space.

Rather than promoting JFK’s New Frontier for its potential to incorporate the Divine Feminine and transcend the old patterns Pointer described, the bleak forces of “surveillance capitalism” lurk like Big Brother just over the horizon threatening a new form of (Huxellian) oppression like a scene out of The Hunger Games.

Combine that with the unacknowledged bombing of Somalia by Trump and his war horse (whore) pal, Hegseth, nearly 100 times this year, and a less optimistic picture clouds any thoughts of progress from the elections.

It’s the atavistic Greater Israel Project that threatens a more alluring New World of economic cooperation from the BRICS Alliance and similar groupings. Dispatching the “untouchables/deplorables” of Palestine to a newly carved-out AFRICAN nation like Somaliland so that the Kushner Chabadniks can exploit Trump Gaza and replace positive UN intervention with a self-serving Board of Peace is merely to pour new wine into the old
colonial containers of exploitation. https://stateofthenation.info/?p=48620

Enough intellectualizing by me for now. It’s time to get back out into the trenches with real people working for change, free of exploitation by those gifted at constricting the human spirit and on to a New World like the one Pointer and others envision!
