Esoteric Trumpism by Constantin von Hoffmeister

A Book Recommendation

Like the protagonist of a Lovecraft story, Trump is tapping into and fighting forces much bigger than himself, seemingly things that are supernatural. We’re witnessing nothing less than an epic, with the fate of the country itself on the line.¹

— James Kirkpatrick, from Introduction to Esoteric Trumpism

Esoteric Trumpism by Constantin von Hoffmeister is a unique little book. I’m tempted to use the word “odd” (I just did) to describe it. You never really know what’s coming in the next, short chapter. It might be a fictional piece or a critique of the current state of things via George Orwell. He understands, as does Alexander Dugin the Russian philosopher and historian, that it is important for the world that America prevail and return to its philosophical and moral roots. In the introduction James Kirkpatrick writes:

For most of our lives, we’ve heard the refrain that the upcoming election is the “most important in our nation’s history.” This time, it really appears to be true. The question is brutal in its simplicity—America, yea or nay? Like sex, it’s binary, and to pretend otherwise is cynical folly.²

In our household we too have been thinking this way. The Biden/Harris/Whoever regime has had four years to get their agendas running, what if they (it’ll be the same regime regardless of the named players) get another four years? What then?

This book approaches Trump not as a mortal man but as something bigger than himself, something more closely related to a man fulfilling fate or destiny—in spite of himself. He is, of course, a mortal man, but what he represents is something different and his fight—our fight—appears very often not to be against mortal men.

However, he was not merely challenging an institution; he was invoking the wrath of ancient and indescribable forces that had remained uncontested for epochs.³

I keep seeing this theme of fighting not against flesh and blood in the writings of others.

It really seemed as if something preternatural, supernatural even, was fighting Trump.⁴

Naomi Wolf has been writing about this for over a year now. Hoffmeister again:

Trump, having peered into the heart of the Swamp, emerged not as a defeated mortal but as a seer of unsettling realities.⁵

Many of us have been awakened to these “unsettling realitites” of the “Swamp”: governments that do not care about their citizens, that are willing to kill their citizens, agencies working for them to stop free speech and dissent of any kind and the continual, all persuasive attack on our health through technologies not adequately tested, available foods and, of course, vaccines.

On one side stand the ardent supporters of a vision of America rooted in its foundational ethos, and on the other, a globalist and rootless cosmopolitan perspective that sees nations as mere administrative units in an interconnected world order.⁶

The Globalists don’t view themselves as citizens of any country. They are cultural nomads circling the globe in private jets, hence the destruction of unique cultures and nations means nothing to them because they have no deep roots in any nation or culture. It is only their warped vision of the world that matters.

Hoffmeister quotes Trump:

“We will no longer surrender this country or its people to the false song of globalism.”⁷

Trump said that in 2016. No wonder they tried to kill him. What will they try next?

When Trump burst on the political scene, he was not just a political anomaly; he was a manifestation of the resurgence of classical American values—values that have long been buried under layers of political correctness, globalist ambitions, and elite-driven agendas.⁸

It is the vision of America that does not seek to police the world or enter into unnecessary conflicts but rather emphasizes mutual respect and pragmatic diplomacy. An America that focuses on its heartland, its people, and its traditional values.⁹

One big red-pilling event for me was when America became energy independent about year after Trump got elected in 2016. It was then I realized that most of the problems we face in America and the world are INTENTIONAL and can be easily fixed by those with a will to do so. They don’t want to fix the problems. The Globalists’ plans require problems.

Is America, as a nation, going to be defined by radical extremes? Or is it going to embrace the robust, classical values that have always been at the center of the American dream? For the sake of America, and indeed the world, let us hope it is the latter.¹⁰

For many decades now there has been this prevailing philosophy that all progress is good, all progress is better than what preceded it, that the inevitable (they say) changes ahead of us, though difficult, are necessary in order to move forward. There is this idea that ANY resistance to change is backward and ignorant. It has been an effective gaslighting technique.

In this critical chapter of history, Trump stands firm, like a lone guardian facing the storm. His critics, who push for a future where everyone blends into one, are quick to dismiss him. They dream of an America where the old ways are forgotten, buried under the new world they want to build.¹¹

William James wrote in The Varieties of Religious Experience

The wisest of critics is an altering being, subject to the better insight of the morrow, and right at any moment, only ‘up to date’ and ‘on the whole.’When larger ranges of truth open, it is surely best to be able to open ourselves to their reception, unfettered by our previous pretensions.

It is truth that should guide us, not “progress” or the “next best thing.” Truth, of course, does not impress the Globalists, so it is, as others have written, a Great Awakening that will defeat them. Not convince them. Defeat them. They will never be convinced. The Globalists must be forced into exile and irrelevancy.

Hoffmeister quotes Oswald Spengler, a German historical philosopher, who wrote The Decline of the West:

 “When the ordinary thought of a highly cultivated people begins to regard ‘having children’ as a question of pros and cons, the great turning point has come.”¹²

To some degree I fell into this no children trap, I’m ashamed to say, but thankfully had a son later in life.

Thus, the trumpet soundeth across the land, calling forth the sons and daughters of America to stand, to face the coming storm with hearts of courage, and to reclaim the heritage that was their forefathers’ bequest. For in the twilight of the West, in this hour of decision, the fate of a civilization hangs in the balance, and the actions of the few shall decide the future of the many.¹³
