Dr Toby Rogers’ research focus is on regulatory capture and corruption in the pharmaceutical industry working with groups to stop the epidemic of chronic illness in children.

LOTS of people are talking about “Storm” — a seven-and-a-half-minute film directed by Romain Gavras that features the Swedish rapper Yung Lean (Jonatan Leandoer Håstad, his stage name is a play on words: lean is a recreational street drug made by mixing prescription cough syrup with soda and hard candy). The video consists of two parts — “Storm I” which is a short drama set in an all-boys school and “Storm II” that includes stunning choreography by Damien Jalet.

Let’s start with Storm II because that’s the clip that is generating the most discussion. (Watch on YouTube starting at 4:18.)

Storm II is beautiful, mesmerizing, hypermasculine, violent, terrifying, thrilling, and easily the most brilliant choreography I’ve seen in years. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it and, as others have reported, I found myself watching it again and again. Notice that the entire dance routine is a single shot without any edits. Numerous rehearsal videos show that this is NOT the product of artificial intelligence.

However to fully understand the video one must start at the beginning and watch the full seven minutes and 34 seconds (Storm I & II). In context, a very different picture emerges. (Trigger warning: it’s very violent.)

In the full video, Yung Lean is the alpha male gang leader at an all-boys school who bullies the weaker boys to adopt his violent ethos. It’s Lord of the Flies or The Chocolate War but with better choreography.

What becomes apparent rather quickly is that one is watching an overtly fascistic theater piece.

The video is about bringing order out of chaos, celebrating a certain hypermasculine violence in service of power, and the overarching goal is hierarchy and control.

I went back and read the lyrics of Storm II and those raise an eyebrow as well.

We stand united through the storm

Lay all your love right on my door

I’ll never fall, I’m standing tall

Go take the darkness out my heart

Okay maybe he’s singing to his sweetheart. Or maybe he’s just really bonded with his minions. Then things take a turn.

It feels like a drug drug drug

Give you no love love love

Until the sun comes up



You’re all out of luck luck luck

We don’t give a f*ck about what

Comes out of your neck or tongue

When you see the stars better run

I’m no ethnomusicologist but I’m pretty sure Yung Lean is talking about inflicting harm on his rivals alongside his enthusiastic and obedient crew.


II. Making sense of this moment

I already feel like a joyless scold and that’s not my intention here. The video is extraordinary. All art is subject to interpretation and perhaps my interpretation is off base. But what I’m curious to explore is WHY this video emerged now and why it resonates with so many people. The artists pulled it out of the air — the zeitgeist — and the essence they distilled is pure fascism. So why is fascism the electrical current we can feel in the air right now?

As a point of comparison, the video for “Stop Me From Falling” by Kylie Minogue features excellent choreography but no one comes away from that feeling like civil war is imminent. With “Storm” it’s different. The video has captured the public’s imagination with endless reshares and reaction videos on social media — a gravitational pull that persists even when one is troubled by the imagery. The audience is participating in, dare I say hungry for, the same dark energy as the artists. (In fairness, most people are responding to Storm II and are unaware that Storm I exists.)

Before I go any further I need to define fascism, because that word is often stretched until it means little more than “things I dislike.”

Historian and political scientist Roger Griffin (1991) argues that the ideological core of fascism is palingenetic ultranationalism — palingenesis meaning rebirth. Fascism is animated by an organizing myth: the nation was great, it has fallen into decadence and humiliation, and only a violent, cleansing rebirth, led by a strong man and a mobilized people, can restore its glory. Authoritarianism merely wants order. Fascism wants resurrection.

That’s a pretty good description of “Storm” as well. Decline, humiliation, a charismatic leader, a mobilized band of brothers, the violent restoration of a lost order and beneath all of it, the ecstatic feeling of being reborn into something powerful. The video has no political program. It is the mood of palingenesis, condensed and set to music. But again why would that land with the American audience right now? – Toby Rogers

  1. Spoiler alert
    The “alternating rows” choreography comes from the airport queues where people are alternately walking left to right then right to left, it’s quite mesmerising, I made a video of it a few years ago but just a short one because of the sign “no camera”

  2. Attention: your update will download in 10 seconds.
    I don’t know what’s going on under the ice at Thule but they must be planning a HAARP on top, Greenland reminds me of Trump’s daughter getting sazan island at the entrance to the Adriatic Sea, they are saying the military got the middle with all the tunnels etc and the perimeter went to the environment dept so Trump daughter could make resorts there. The chain of ownership goes back to secret Dutch companies so it’s Trump + Globalists not Trump vs Globalists. Waiting for the white hats is something you do to allow more time for the Globalist infrastructure to go in.
    An old guy in Sydney says all the bees have disappeared from his area where he has lived for 40 years. The microwaves messed up their GPS according to old research by a lady from Melbourne Uni. Birds gone at my house too.
    As noted fascism means different things to different people but commonly attributed to Hitler who was officially a socialist, at least until the party was fully infiltraitored by the upper class, Swissy, industrialists type of crowd, boostered by US interests most famously Ford, GM, Morgan (Chase Bank), DuPont, Standard Oil, HW Bush grandfather, all did well out of the war until they were forced to stop ( slow down ? ). Benign fascism, technocracy with UBI etc, all the stuff we see in China, our version will be … no bees ? Eat ze bugs.
    In the end it’s all totalitarianism. They want all the commoners gone or turned into useful mutants, DNA controlled, the lot.
    If we were still around the bloodlines would turn on each other too. David Bowie nearly got “nailed” to his car for telling us all the plot way back in the 70’s. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLxp47jLBWA ]

  3. ”Historian and political scientist Roger Griffin (1991) argues that the ideological core of fascism is palingenetic ultranationalism — palingenesis meaning rebirth. . . .”
    .
    Although having zero respect for political scientists, I suppose there’s a hint of truth in Griffin’s rebirth statement. He’s ostensibly familiar with Evola’s literature?
    .
    Fascism is actually very simple to understand. In sum: Fascism was founded upon the hierarchical structure of Roman Catholicism.
    .
    Where did Fascism originate and prevail?, of course, – Italy, Spain, Vichy France, Wallonia: Europe’s traditionally Roman Catholic nations and territories.
    .
    Although Mussolini never penned his Fascist manifesto, the closest we get is a work entitled ‘The Doctrine of Fascism,’ – attributed to Benito Mussolini (1932). Anyone unfamiliar with this work are usually surprised to learn how Mussolini’s Fascism consisted of a hierarchical system with God at the top of the hierarchy. This is simply because the political-societal structure was nothing more than a twentieth century remodelling of the Roman Catholic organisational framework. This particular Roman administrative system was left in situ following the withdrawal of Imperial Rome.
    .
    It was for this reason why Fascism suffered no changeover issues when transitioning to the new system in its respective domains. It was simply because there was no new system.
    .
    Of all the books allegedly offering insights into Hitler’s thinking, the least known work is also the best. This is Otto Wegener’s supremely important and unchallenged memoir: – ‘Hitler: Memoirs of a Confidant,’ (1946).
    .
    At one point during his employment, Wegener was absolutely stunned when Hitler intuitively solved a major problem that existed between the SS and the SA: the so called ‘Map Incident.’
    .
    Although the Reich’s political experts had failed to recognise the recruitment and distribution problem existing between the two competing para-military organisations, Hitler took one look at the map and saw the problem immediately. He ordered someone to dig out an old map of Roman-era Germany and superimposed onto the contemporary map. Everything then became crystal clear. The recruitments were taking place along the religious cultural lines demarcated by the ancient frontier of the Roman Limes. The SS were predominantly recruiting in the Roman territories south of the Limes, wheres the SA were being drawn from the regions north of the Limes: the traditionally non-Romanised Protestant regions.
    .
    Due to their upbringing, both Hitler and Himmler were heavily influenced by their Catholic background. The SS midnight inauguration rite at the Feldherrnhalle (8-9 November) was based upon the Catholic Midnight Mass.
    .
    For those in Europe, they will understand that the post-war Order currently operates by another name and works in line with the new racial-economic plan. Although composed under enemy occupation, the following excerpts should be relatively self explanatory.
    .
    [quote]. ‘We have grown out of an ossifying party. We are no longer a party. We no longer guard it and no longer inherit it. Our new world is a new community in the last refuge around Thule. We live in our own ego in a closed we. The world around us will never understand us and will never be able to comprehend us. Our rediscovered inner vision and the language of our soul are completely different.’ (Wolf Time for Thule. Wilhelm Landig. 1980).
    .
    [quote]. ‘My father once spoke of so called ‘Nature Conservation Park Nazis’ who live in a dead past and want to turn the clocks back half a century. But the clocks never go back twice and so the train that goes to the future has run away without them. They are hawking old boots that are no longer worn today and have become blind to the new revolutionary that brings a change of times. What comes out of the past.’ (Rebels for Thule. Wilhelm Landig. 1991).

  4. Seen that movie before, in the 1930s. Today it’s called ‘choreography’!? Really? It’s a brainwashing celebration of the culture of Degeneration. The Phoenix of hope will rise from the choreographed ashes of hopelessness and desperation inflicted on our kids, just like in the 1930s and the Great Depression.
    .
    So standby and watch the dog eat dog Neues Ordnung emerge from the engineered chaos. Many will of course have to die in yet another attempt at its success.

  5. I generally don’t watch such videos. And didn’t watch this one.
    It’s been popular to call and define National Socialist Germany as “fascist” (an assumed “evil”), and it looks like that’s what the text is pointing to.
    Mussolini’s Italy= Fascism.
    Hitler’s Germany= National Socialism.
    They’re not the same.
    Whatever they were, National Socialism proved to be superior, both in leadership and consequences until the war that was provoked by the ZOG of Britain and ZOG of USA. (actually the 1914 war against Germany hadn’t ended, and was expanded with the Bolsheviks).
    Fascist Mussolini turned out to be a disappointment, his vain-glorious and stupid(Hitler’s word) attack on Greece blindsided the Germans and probably saved Moscow and the (ZIONIST)Jewish Bolshevik regime by wasting German men and resources and delaying Barbarossa by a month. The Germans had little choice but to save Mussolini’s ass when he was failing and impose the “Axis” occupation of Greece themselves.
    +
    The destruction of the (ZIONIST)Jewish USSR was thus prevented by ZOG WORLD INC. (why would they align with the USSR?).
    Mussolini listened to the ego/devil on his shoulder, and quite possibly fvcked everything up from that point on until today.
    Adolf Hitler; The Anomaly was nearly egoless=selfless. He was inspired by and guided by genuine love for his people.
    Thus, he was only a danger to those that wanted to degrade and destroy the essence of what those people were, and turn them into slaves to ZOG WORLD INC.
    But, “might makes right” in this world, and they(and Europe) lost, and EVIL won on the material plane, but not the Spiritual.

  6. He appears to be floating on a wave of indoctrination after smoking the 6G.

    How much pain will it take before men fight back against the control freak minority, and smoke the 6G?

    Yung Lean character reminds me of August Landmesser riding a wave of brainwashed Germans.

  7. 1985 diesel fuel average price 55c per litre, 1989 price 80cents , 1990 ,$1.10 per litre

  8. In 1992 the then Labor party scrapped import tariff on imported fuel , that was when the National Competition Policy was introduced .

  9. For me it is a cry of young generation for normality and a sens of life.
    Everything is turning upside down, it’s antichrist spirit. 1 John 2:13

    “I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.” 1 John 2:22

    “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”
