Twelve decades ago, American philosopher W.E.B. DuBois lamented a world divided along what DuBois called “the color line.” Expanding on explications of “the color line” used earlier by Frederick Douglass and, in 1900, the First Pan-African Conference, DuBois, in his 1903 book The Souls of Black Folk, wrote of racial prejudice as a phenomenon that had split the world in two. “The problem of the twentieth century,” DuBois insisted, “is the problem of the color line.”
The bifurcation of the world today is not just racial, although there is still plenty of that. Neocolonialism of the racist variety is alive and well. France’s actions vis-à-vis Africa and Haiti supply more than enough proof that the old colonial mindset never died its now much-touted death. But while the color line remains, the problem of the twenty-first century is the rainbow line. Behind the global Rainbow Curtain, populations die slow deaths under suffocating gender ideology (or quick and gruesome ones—Rainbow Regimes love abortion and (frequently-botched) genital mutilation surgery even more than totalitarian regimes do). Unlike the Iron Curtain metaphor used during the Cold War, this time we are “behind” the dividing line, and we are the ones pushing the murderous ideology. In a December, 2023 American Conservative essay, Helen Andrews put to good use Rod Dreher’s snippet of commentary about Washington’s project to “queer the Donbass,” noting that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky—while a war of the Rainbow Regimes’ making raged in his country—tried ramming gay-marriage legislation through the Ukrainian legislature in a country that wants none of it. All of this queering of the Donbass, and of Ukraine as a whole, was, and is, pushed by the entirety of the Washington-led government-media-academia machine. Why is Washington interested in Ukraine? Geopolitics is an afterthought. What Washington really wants is to sexualize Ukrainian children.
Andrews gives many other examples of how the American “LGBT Empire” foists perversion on the world inside the American orbit. Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Japan, Montenegro, South Korea, Peru—all, and many more, morally corrupted by “Our LGBT Empire.” Whatever the globalists who run America touch turns fabulously rainbow-colored. Which makes geopolitics in 2024 very easy to understand, almost as easy as when the color line divided up states and peoples in Douglass’ and DuBois’ time. Today, there is no easier way to tell whether a country has been sold over to Washington’s predation than to ask on which side of the rainbow line it lies. Or, to put it another way, if you want to know which countries Washington is considering carpet-bombing, and which countries Washington considers sufficiently ideologically converted not to require further convincing, you need only ask which countries do not recognize sodomy as geopolitics, and you automatically have your answer.
One country of which Washington is particularly enamored of late (although not enough to recognize it as a country—nationalism means nothing in a rainbow-globalist paradigm) is Taiwan. Washington is most definitely not aiming to carpet-bomb Taipei. No, quite the contrary. Washington is telegraphing its desire to do some bombing on Taipei’s behalf. Never mind that Washington’s history with Taiwan is a history of abandonment and betrayal. And put aside your giddy fears that the bombee in any of Washington’s Taiwan adventurism will be a behemoth with some five hundred nuclear warheads and nearly one-and-a-half billion people to throw into the fight. Taiwan, the Biden Administration is strongly signaling, is a first-rate pawn on the Washington war board. And not only Taiwan. The information war rages elsewhere, especially on the home front. Americans, too, are being manipulated over the charming island of Formosa. If fighting were to break out over Taiwan, then it is certain that Americans would die there. It also would mean that the United States would be at war, directly, with the People’s Republic of China. Taiwan is so central to Washington’s strategic calculus that Washington is willing to roll the dice on nuclear armageddon in order to keep Taiwan in play in the western Pacific.
Now, if you ask anyone in Washington, or any American who follows the news, why Taiwan must be defended, you’ll probably hear that Taiwan is a democracy, and that democratic countries have to stick together. It’s of course true that Taiwan is a democratic country. There was just a presidential election there in the opening weeks of this year. Voter turnout was nearly seventy-two percent. The race was a three-way showcase of politicking in anticipation of free and fair elections. Taiwan is, in that sense, very much a democracy.
But are campaigns and ballot boxes and patriotic bunting, stump speeches and leafletting, and all the other trappings of democracy as the term is traditionally understood what Washington means by “democratic”? Does Washington, in this century, keep watch over democracies, or only certain kinds of democracies? Viktor Yanukovych was democratically elected, after all. Washington overthrew him in a violent coup. And now here we are in Ukraine again, “defending democracy.” (Zelensky’s term in office has expired, making his rule even more illegitimate than when the Americans installed him. Long live democracy.) Before the Ukraine putsch, too, elections and the other accoutrements most of us associate with the word “democracy” were never helpful in persuading Washington not to depose the government of this or that democratic country. So the processes and assumptions and rights and so forth denoted by “democracy” should not be applied when thinking about how the “democratic” nature of a foreign government does or does not affect Washington’s desire to interfere in that government’s internal workings, up to and including regime change. The word “democracy” now has one Beltway meaning, and that meaning is a function of a given country’s positioning relative to the rainbow line. When people in Washington use the adjective “democratic” to talk about a foreign power, that is a euphemism for whether a country is or is not sufficiently subservient to the LGBT ideologues who control the globalist enterprise. That is to say, “democratic” is Washington double-speak for the twenty-first century color line: the rainbow line. “Democratic” countries are LGBT-friendly countries. “Anti-democratic” countries are, well, Russia, where children are not psychologically and physically abused as a matter of government policy. There are only two kinds of countries in the world, from Washington’s perspective. Rainbow-colored countries, and countries with their traditional flags and values in place. Color revolution of the rainbow variety is Washington’s overarching geopolitical game now. And Taiwan is very much on the queer side of that divide.
The new Taiwanese president, Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), is very “democratic,” if we understand “democratic” to mean “LGBT to the bone.” Lai is a fully fledged, rainbow-attire-wearing member of the LGBT ideology cult in Taiwan. As presidential frontrunner prior to the election, Lai electrified a rainbow-bedecked crowd at the twenty-first (!) annual Taiwan pride parade in October 2023. As president, Lai is now leading the charge to “queer [Taiwan’s] diplomacy.”
But Lai is just one of many LGBT ideologues in the Taiwanese political universe. His predecessor, President Tsai Ing-wen, was even worse. A recent American news article about the outgoing Taiwanese leader unwittingly revealed what “democracy” means to Washington and its regime media in the United States. Here’s a sampling from the Taiwan-LGBT puff piece:
Taiwanese drag queen Nymphia Wind celebrated last month’s win on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” by staging a riotous, emotional performance at Taiwan’s presidential office on Wednesday in front of President Tsai Ing-wen.
Tsai and her ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) have championed LGBTQ+ rights making the island a bastion of liberal values, and in 2019 Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage in a first for Asia.
Nymphia Wind, the first person from East Asia to win the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” crown, lip-synched to three songs, including “Marry the Night” by Lady Gaga and Taiwanese diva Huang Fei’s “Chase, Chase, Chase,” dressed in a resplendent yellow outfit. Giving an athletic performance in the presidential office’s main entrance hall and under a bust of Sun Yat-sen who in 1911 founded the Republic of China, which remains Taiwan’s formal name, Nymphia was joined by five other drag queens for her final number, Jolin Tsai’s gender equality hit “Womxnly.”
“This is probably the first presidential office in the world to host a drag show,” Nymphia told Tsai after her performance, streamed live on the office’s YouTube, and thanked her for ensuring same-sex marriage came to pass.
I don’t recommend it, but those with curious minds and strong stomachs may want to check out the video of Nymphia and companions gyrating in front of the Taiwanese president to see what is meant by “athletic performance.”
It isn’t just one drag show in Taiwan’s central hall of power. Taiwan is immersed in LGBT cultural rot. This makes it, by that very measure, indispensable to Washington’s global LGBT regime. Pride parades and LGBT events are everywhere in Taiwan, and many are, of course, targeted at small children. Homosexual couples in Taiwan can adopt children, and can also rent out third-party wombs to obtain children as props in their marriage charade. The surrogacy business has expanded elsewhere in East Asia, with Taiwanese doctors now actively recruiting sperm donors and egg donors inside of Japan. Taiwanese schools are saturated with LGBT indoctrination as a matter of Taiwanese law. Law is not passed in a democracy without the consent of voters and politicians, of course. And Taiwan is just the kind of “democracy” that Washington ordered. In the recent presidential election, all three of Taiwan’s main candidates—including the pro-China, and presumably socially conservative, Kuomintang candidate, Hou You-yi—mouthed almost indistinguishable LGBT platitudes. Those who expect the “democratic process” to rescue Taiwan from the LGBT abyss are sorely mistaken.
And then there is the transgender wing to the Taiwanese outpost of Washington’s LGBT Empire. Many readers will be familiar with Tang Tsung-han, who, as his alter ego Audrey Tang, was until May of this year Taiwan’s inaugural Minister of Digital Affairs. Readers may be interested in reading about transgender trailblazer “Audrey’s” “ambitious plan to align tech with democracy.” Yes, that is just what I thought “democracy” meant in Washington now, too. Once Washington has control of informational spaces in a given country, then the LGBT propaganda can flow directly from Washington-controlled tech companies to the phones of vulnerable young people. The LGBT Empire works through the machinations of people precisely like the Taiwanese globo-hero Audrey Tang. Tang is lauded in globalist capitals and corporations worldwide, hailed as a harbinger of things to come. This globalist salivating over the future of worldwide perversity is precisely why Taiwan must be left to die when the coming conflagration starts.
By arguing that Americans should watch Taiwan be seized by the communists, I do not mean to discount the pro-life movement in Taiwan, or the good people who fight against the LGBT takeover there. Taiwanese prolifers have taken part joyfully in March for Life demonstrations in Tokyo, and there are growing connections between those in Japan and those in Taiwan who want to protect society from the ravages of abortion, transgenderism, and the sexualization of children. But Japan is on the Washington side of the rainbow line, too, and so we, like those of good will in Taiwan, must fight on without getting involved in the useless parsing of which totalitarian dictatorship—Washington or Beijing—would be better. They are both damned, so let us not die to defend them.
Washington has more LGBT pawns in East Asia than just Taiwan, of course. Consider that Japan and Taiwan, although linked from below at the level of pro-life activism, are ruled from above by a cross-ocean cabal of LGBT lunatics. In April 2024, the unofficial representative of Taiwan in Japan, Siā Tiông-têng (Hsieh Chang-ting, also known as Frank Hsieh), joined America’s LGBT indoctrinator plenipotentiary to the Far East, Rahm Emanuel, on a Tokyo stage to liven up our very own pride parade.
If Taiwan goes over to Beijing’s control, then things could hardly be worse than they are now. I suspect, for instance, that Xi Jinping, for all his faults, will not invite Nymphia Wind to perform lewd dances in front of him in his dictatorial lair. By contrast, Washington holds on to its LGBT Empire by force of arms and threat of nuclear annihilation. We are often told that what is at stake in the democracy-vs.-totalitarianism struggle is self-government. But look at the wild hedonists and perverts who have taken over in Taiwan. They cannot govern themselves. They refuse to do so. And they are working with teachers and politicians to bring innocent children into the repulsive LGBT orgy. People who have given themselves over to perversity ought to taste the boot and the lash until they come to their senses, and especially until they keep their hands off of kids. And when the tyrant comes to impose harsh order on a shameless mob, then it is not my responsibility to risk my life to save the hedonist from the hard man’s iron justice.
Let Taiwan go, then, without a fight. Taiwan will be, at least, on the hopeful side of the rainbow line then, away from the clutches of Washington. In any event, it is better to counter the evil of the LGBT Empire from within, as we in Japan and Taiwan do now and will continue to do whether our overlords are totalitarian or “democratic,” than to add to the misery of LGBT ideology the additional horror of all-out nuclear or even conventional war.
Washington, the master of its LGBT Empire, is spoiling for a gay showdown in the Pacific. The chances that there will be a war over Taiwan are therefore substantial. Americans who want to defend Taiwan against takeover by Beijing, however, forget to ask whether Taiwan is worth defending. Taiwan is a lovely country, and the Taiwanese people are, for the most part, friendly, good-natured, and kind. Taiwan is also, it must be remembered, no longer a democracy, but a “democracy,” a nation-state which has crossed the event horizon of the rainbow line. The Taiwanese have doomed themselves to death by LGBT ideology. Those who die for Taiwan will, like Ukrainians fighting for Washington’s rainbow regime in Kiev, die, not for democracy, but for the LGBT Empire that Washington and its rainbow satellites have become.
