Warnings to the West
Harvard adjunct professor and eminent historian, Niall Ferguson, in his highly acclaimed book, Civilization: The West and the Rest, declares:
We are living through the end of 500 years of Western ascendancy.[i
Professor Ferguson goes on to say:
I warned that the United States had imperceptibly come to rely on East Asian capital to fund its unbalanced current and fiscal accounts. The decline and fall of America’s undeclared empire might, therefore, be due not to terrorists at the gates, nor to the rogue regimes that sponsor them, but to a financial crisis at the very heart of the empire itself.[ii]
Internationally renowned social commentator and author Mark Steyn, in his bestseller America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It issued this ominous warning:
Much of what we loosely call the Western world will not survive the twenty-first century, and much of it will effectively disappear within our lifetimes, including many if not most European countries.[iii]
Dutch politician and outspoken critic of Islam, Geert Wilders, issued this dire warning:
We are facing a determined enemy who is striving through all means to destroy the West and snuff out our traditions of free thought, free speech, and freedom of religion. Make no mistake: if we fail we will be enslaved.[iv]
Douglas Murray argues in The Strange Death of Europe</em> that “Europe is committing suicide,” as proven by the mass immigration of thousands of young Islamic men and the failure by many within academia, the media and politics to acknowledge and defend the unique strengths and benefits of Western civilization on which Europe is based.
Such is the dire nature of events, Murray concludes:
By the end of the lifespans of most of the people currently alive, Europe will no longer be Europe and the peoples of Europe will have lost the only place in the world we had to call home.[v]
The West has implacable enemies ranged against it. They are highly motivated, highly resourced and highly organized. As well as threats from enemies, Western nations face grave dangers financially from generations of welfarism and fiscal irresponsibility.
The assault on the Western mind
As well as physical threats from terrorists and rogue states, the West is embroiled in another Cold War. This war is a war of ideas, of infiltration, propaganda and cultural destruction from enemies within the gates. Tragically, Western authorities don’t even realize they are at war.
At the heart of the attacks on Western civilization are Marxist academics, left-wing journalists and authors who are re-writing history, undermining the foundation of Western civilization by emphasizing the evils of slavery, treatment of indigenous and oppressed colonial populations and the phony evil, “racism,” while studiously ignoring or downplaying the enormous benefits and advances of our great civilization. Behind these groups are what can only be described as an axis of evil, manipulating public opinion and thought and quietly but relentlessly closing down free speech.
These individuals, groups, and movements will be examined and exposed in subsequent chapters.
The activities of these enemies of the West have wrought havoc on our culture. The result is that the vast majority of politicians, journalists and academics and many well-meaning people can be best described as suffering from mass psychosis. They are marching to a common drum-beat which makes them say and do crazy things.
How else can you describe the activities of Western European leaders such as Angela Merkel, openly and blatantly supporting a population replacement program that will ultimately result in the barbaric Islamic culture replacing the once-proud and magnificent European culture?
How else can you describe the activities of human rights commissions dragging people before their Star Chambers for daring to say things that are outside of the strict orthodoxy of thought?
How else would you describe the phenomenon of hundreds educated scientists abandoning their training in the scientific method to join a quasi-religious cult that deems a trace gas essential to all life on earth to be a harbinger of doom for the planet? And based on the flawed prophesy of an anti-Christ in the form of carbon dioxide, Western politicians are scrambling to shut down all generators of cheap electricity as well as severely inhibiting industrial production.
At a time Western nations are losing faith in their great civilization, they face mortal enemies on a number of fronts.
The Islamic threat
Multiculturalism, political correctness, misguided notions of tolerance and sheer willful blindness have combined to create an atmosphere of confusion and denial about the current threat facing Western civilization. A subversion campaign conducted by Muslims within Western countries, known as a “civilization jihad” is taking place under the noses of government authorities.
The jihad process is a two-pronged attack on Western countries and Western civilization. On the one hand, Western governments have become distracted in fighting a clearly identified military jihadist enemy in Afghanistan and Syria.
Far less recognizable, however, is the menace posed by jihadist enemies who operate by deceit and stealth from inside the gates. The latter threat is, arguably, a far more serious one to open, tolerant Western societies.
Multiculturalism has opened the floodgates to Muslim immigration to Western counties. There are now more than six million Muslims in France. France has 751 “no-go” areas across France for police, where Muslims rule.[vi] French authorities refer to these areas as sensitive urban zones (“Zones urbaines sensibles” or “Zus”)
The flood of immigrants is based on the Islamic concept of Hijra. The meaning of Hijra is “to immigrate.” The Hijra was enshrined by Muhammad from the outset within Islam as the “Doctrine of Immigration,” or the “peaceful means of extending the Islamic political state garbed in religious terminology.”
Hence Hijra, or immigration, is binding on all Muslims, as a religious obligation, preparatory to jihad with the aim of securing victory for Islam in another country and spreading Islam more generally. The Hijra is examined in depth in Chapter 11.
An American cardinal warns that Islam “wants to govern the world” and is not like other religions such as Christianity and Judaism. Americans must decide if they are going to reassert “the Christian origin of our own nation” in order to avoid that fate.
American Cardinal Raymond Burke, a Rome-based prelate, known as an outspoken conservative and critic of Pope Francis’s reformist approach, said in an interview that Islam is “fundamentally a form of government,” and that Islam “wants to govern the world.”[vii]
Cardinal Burke also said he worries that many people do not understand that, in his view, “when they (Muslims) become the majority in any country they have the duty to submit the whole population to Shariah,” as the Islamic code of law is known:
But my point is this: When they become a majority in any country then they have the religious obligation to govern that country. If that’s what the citizens of a nation want, well, then, they should just allow this to go on. But if that’s not what they want, then they have to find a way to deal with it.
He said that in some cities in France and Belgium with large Muslim populations “there are little Muslim states” that are effectively “no-go zones” for government authorities.
Burke claims “these things aren’t anomalies for Islam. This is the way things are to go… And if you do understand that and you are not at peace with the idea of being forcibly under an Islamic government, then you have reason to be afraid.”[viii]
The local insurgents have become highly skilled at exploiting Western tolerance, civil liberties, multiculturalism and racial vilification laws, as well as our welfare systems.
Muslims have become skilled at rorting Western welfare systems. Over 50 percent of male UK Muslims are on welfare.[ix] A recent study by Australian authorities revealed that after five years in Australia, 90 percent of Afghan refugees were still on welfare.[x]
A radical Islamic cleric who lives off the British welfare state has been filmed urging his followers to quit their jobs and claim unemployment benefits so they have more time to plot holy war against non-Muslims. In the video, Anjem Choudary</span> – a former lawyer who has long campaigned to bring Islamic sharia law to Britain and other European countries – is recorded as saying that Muslims are justified in taking money from non-Muslims.
Excerpts of the speech, published by the London-based newspaper The Sun on February 17, 2013, drew renewed attention to the growing problem of Muslims in Britain and elsewhere who are exploiting European welfare systems.[xi]
The British-born extremist preacher Anjem Choudary states that Muslims are entitled to welfare payments because they are a form of the jizya, an extra tax imposed on non-Muslims in countries run by Muslims, and a reminder that non-Muslims are permanently inferior and subservient to Muslims.
Choudary said: “We take the jizya, which is ours anyway. The normal situation is to take money from the kuffar. They give us the money. You work, give us the money, Allahu Akhbar [Allah is greatest]. We take the money.”
In September 2016, justice finally caught up with Choudary.
Choudary, who preached hate over two decades with seeming impunity from legal punishment, was jailed for five years and six months for his activities in support of the Islamic State.
Choudary was sentenced at the Old Bailey in London after his conviction in July 2016 for urging Muslims to support ISIS in a series of talks posted on YouTube. He was convicted alongside his acolyte Mohammed Rahman, 33, who was also sentenced to five years and six months in prison. Choudary’s supporters in the public gallery shouted “Allahu Akbar!”(God is greatest) as the judge finished sentencing.
Sentencing the pair, the judge said they would remain a danger, even in prison, telling them: “I regard each of you as dangerous. You show no remorse at all for anything you have said or done, and I have no doubt you will continue to communicate your message whenever you can.” The judge said both men justified ISIS’s most appalling acts and expressed contempt for democracy.[xii]
Nearly every organization operating within Western countries with the word “Islam” or “Muslim” in the title is set up to promote the civilization jihad through Da’wah (Islamization through stealth and deceit).
They are actively infiltrating academia and student groups, as well as legal, media, finance, political and judicial groups.
The jihadists cannot believe their good luck at the stupidity of Western nations opening the floodgates to Muslim migration while stifling dissent with racial vilification laws – aided and abetted of course by a left-wing media ready to shriek “racist,” “Islamophobia” or “bigot” at anyone foolish enough to question Muslim immigration and infiltration.
Hollywood creates a culture of violence
For decades, the U.S. entertainment industry in general, and Hollywood in particular, has contributed to the decline of Western culture. Super-rich Hollywood celebrities love to preach their left-wing ideologies to the rest of us mere mortals. These pious hypocrites think they are taking the moral high ground in their inane moralizing; but they manifest the most egregious hypocrisy in their utterances and actions – none more foolish than Meryl Streep’s outburst against Donald Trump at the 2017 Golden Globe awards.
The same people who celebrate a child rapist, such as director Roman Polanski, are sickened that the American people dared to elect a President they don’t like. Streep had no qualms about giving Polanski – who drugged and anally raped a 13-year-old girl and then fled to France to escape justice – a standing ovation when he won an Oscar for The Pianist in 2003.
But Hollywood’s greatest sin is the culture of violence it has created over the decades.
To the younger demographic, violence in society appears to be normal: that’s just how life is in the 21st century.
But in my lifetime it wasn’t always thus.
I grew up in an Australian country town in the 1950s, in a culture unknown to today’s young people. It was a time when people left their keys in the car and the front doors unlocked. Crime, particularly violent crime, and drug problems were virtually unknown.
What changed?
Back then there was no TV, no video games and little in the way of media sensationalism.
Then gradually Hollywood introduced violent movies to the world. Producers and directors soon realized that promoting violence made money. Soon they were competing with each other to produce ever more violent movies.
TV series such as The Sopranos showed there was profit in glorying mafia murderers and crooks.
Since those days society has been subjected to an increasingly violent American culture. Our senses are saturated with violent movies, violent video games and with gangsta-rap celebrities such as Snoop Dog, who glamorize violence, drugs and the mistreatment of women.
Young people are being fed a visual diet of glorified and unrestrained violence.
Violence has been a staple of U.S. director, Quentin Tarantino, since his sensational debut film, Reservoir Dogs (1992). During the 1990s Tarantino unleashed a tidal wave of bloodletting with his mix of pop culture references, low-life comedy and shocking violence. Tarantino reached a bloody crescendo with Kill Bill (2003), said to be the most violent movie ever made by an American studio. In the 20-minute nightclub-set climax, limbs are liberally hacked from torsos, sending fountains of blood squirting in the air.
U.S. death metal band, Cannibal Corpse, glorifies child rape, suicide, murder and necrophilia in its lyrics. The band’s albums include songs titled “Dismembered and Molested,” and “Necropedophile,” which details “the pleasure gained from killing, then raping, children.”[xiii]
The last few years have seen a surge in the number of computer games featuring graphic violence. Violence has become entrenched in Western culture.
Hollywood hypocrisy reached its zenith at the 2018 Oscar awards. Some of the stars on the red carpet were wearing an orange flag pin which denotes the Everytown for Gun Safety campaign, a worthy cause, but one which is not well suited to those hypocrites. Hollywood has taught generations that problems are solved, arguments finalized and relationships terminated at the end of a gun. Some of the preening virtue-signallers would, no doubt, have returned to their studios the next day to work on the latest violent movie where a Bruce Willis-type actor solves a law and order problem by killing twenty or so miscreants with – you guessed it – a gun.
Compare the Marxists’ view of Western civilization to what the greatest of all Anglo-Americans, Winston Churchill, understood our civilization to mean:
It means a society based upon the opinion of civilians. It means that violence, the rule of warriors and despotic chiefs, the conditions of camps and warfare, of riot and tyranny, give place to parliaments where laws are made, and independent courts of justice in which over long periods those laws are maintained. That is Civilization – and in its soil grow continually freedom, comfort and culture. When Civilization reigns in any country, a wider and less harassed life is afforded to the masses of the people. The traditions of the past are cherished and the inheritance bequeathed to us by former wise or valiant men becomes a rich estate to be enjoyed and used by all.
The central principle of Civilization is the subordination of the ruling class to the settled customs of the people and to their will as expressed in the Constitution.[xv]
The assaults of the Soviets, Marxists, Greens and their fellow travellers and dupes have left the Western society in a state of moral, cultural and political paralysis.
Niall Ferguson wrote that the greatest dangers facing us are “probably not the rise of China, Islam or carbon dioxide emissions” but “our own loss of faith in the civilization we inherited from our ancestors.”[xvi]
The threat from “global governance” forces
A struggle for a new world order has begun. Across a range of fronts, liberal democratic nation-states are locked in an intense conflict with the forces of global governance. The goal of the global governance forces is the subordination of constitutional democracy to global authority.
Originally called “world government,” the forces behind the movement have renamed it as the more palatable “global governance.”
Transnational elites, UN officials, EU commissioners, non-government organizations (NGOs</span>), wealthy foundations, international judges, and lawyers have all combined to push their global governance agenda.
Under the guise of promoting world peace, these activists seek to convince democratic countries to cede their sovereignty to some supranational body where unelected</span> bureaucrats, lawyers, and judges will make laws for them, including laws relating to “social justice,” defense, affirmative action, immigration, “hate speech” and multiculturalism.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is an example of the growth and reach of the global governance forces. The ICC is an autonomous supranational institution that claims legal authority over the citizens of democratic nations, even those that have not ratified the treaty setting up the ICC.
The ICC has an independent prosecutor and judges, chosen by the nation-states that joined the treaty. However, the ICC and its prosecutor are not accountable to any democratic legislature or executive. The ICC functions outside of any democratic system and certainly outside the constitutions of democratic countries such as the United States. Chapter 7 provides a case study of the ICC.
If the global governance forces are successful and democratic states are convinced to hand over their sovereignty, it will be the suicide of such states.
The Greens menace
As well as the clear and present danger from the jihadists, we have groups operating within our societies dedicated to the overthrow of capitalism and the destruction of Western civilization.
One result of communism’s collapse was that the former communists and their fellow-travelers in the West found a new ideological home in the environmental movement, and moved on to promoting the global-warming hoax as a wealth-distribution exercise via a network of UN agencies. Many joined the Greens, effectively taking control of that organization to complete the task started by their Soviet masters: the destruction of capitalism.
While it is highly unlikely the retrenched communists and assorted left-wing activists inhabiting the Greens will ever overthrow capitalism, their control of environmental organizations and their political influence certainly pose a serious threat to the industrial capacity and energy supplies of Western nations.
The Greens and their fellow travelers have certainly played their part in the assault on the Western mind. They adopted Stalin’s strategy of the “Big Lie” – the concerted assault on truth to form world opinion. The curriculums in Western schools and universities drill “progressive” and environmental ideology into the hearts and minds of students.
Consider this proposition:
“I’m rarely afraid of stating the truth, but some truths are far harder to give than others: one of them is that people will die in huge numbers when civilization collapses. Step outside of civilization and you stand a pretty good chance of surviving the inevitable; stay inside and when the crash happens there may be nothing at all you can do to save yourself.
The only way to prevent global ecological collapse and thus ensure the survival of humanity is to rid the world of Industrial Civilization.”
The writer of this passage suggests this might be achieved through a process he calls “ecological unloading”:
“Unloading essentially means the removal of an existing burden; for instance, removing grazing domesticated animals, razing cities to the ground, blowing up dams and switching off the greenhouse gas machine emissions machine. The process of ecological unloading is an accumulation of many things I have already explained in this chapter, along with an (almost certainly necessary) element of sabotage.”
Are these the scribbled thoughts of a loony locked up in a mental asylum somewhere?
No, these passages are from the book, Time’s Up! An Uncivilized Solution to a Global Crisis, written in 2007 by Keith Farnish, one of the gurus of the Green movement. Underneath the warm, fuzzy image presented to the public, this is what the Green movement is all about.[xvii]
Professor James Hansen of Columbia University declared in his review of the book:
Keith Farnish has it right: time has practically run out, and the “system” is the problem.[xviii]
Professor Hansen is certainly doing something about the problem of the “system.” This is the same James Hansen who, as head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS</span>), has been instrumental in pushing global-warming alarmism. In his own way, Hansen is working hard to rid the world of industrial civilization.
Patrick Moore, one of the founders of Greenpeace, testifying before a U.S</span>. Senate committee on February 25, 2014, gave his reasons for leaving the organization:
In 1971, as a Ph.D. student in ecology, I joined an activist group in a church basement in Vancouver, Canada, and sailed on a small boat across the Pacific to protest U.S</span>. hydrogen bomb testing in Alaska. We became Greenpeace.
After 15 years in the top committee, I had to leave as Greenpeace took a sharp turn to the political left, and began to adopt policies that I could not accept from my scientific perspective. Climate change was not an issue when I abandoned Greenpeace, but it certainly is now.[xix]
In a speech to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London on October 15, 2015, Dr. Moore hammered Greenpeace’s global-warming scaremongering:
There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the past 100 years. If there were such a proof, it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists.
Why then did I leave Greenpeace after 15 years in the leadership? When Greenpeace began, we had a strong humanitarian orientation, to save civilization from destruction by all-out nuclear war. Over the years the “peace” in Greenpeace was gradually lost and my organization, along with much of the environmental movement, drifted into a belief that humans are the enemies of the earth. I believe in a humanitarian environmentalism because we are part of nature, not separate from it.
In the mid-1980s I found myself the only director of Greenpeace International with a formal education in science.
When I left Greenpeace, I vowed to develop an environmental policy that was based on science and logic rather than sensationalism, misinformation, anti-humanism, and fear.
And then there is the actual immense pile of filth fed to us more than three times daily by the green-media nexus, a seething cauldron of imminent doom like we are already condemned to Damnation in Hell, and there is little chance of Redemption.
I fear for the end of the Enlightenment. I fear an intellectual Gulag with Greenpeace as my prison guards.[xx]
Greens treachery destroying Germany’s industrial capacity
Until March 2011 Germany obtained one-quarter of its electricity from nuclear energy, using 17 reactors. Some years ago the Greens forced the government of the day to close all nuclear power stations. The decision was later reversed, but following the Fukushima crisis, Greens groups orchestrated mass anti-nuclear protests across Germany, leading Chancellor Angela Merkel to announce the complete phasing out of nuclear power with the immediate shut-down of eight reactors.
The cost of attempting to replace nuclear power with renewables is estimated by the government to amount of some one trillion euros without any assurance of a reliable outcome.[xxi]
A January 2007 report by Deutsche Bank warned that Germany would miss its carbon dioxide emission targets by a wide margin, face higher electricity prices, suffer more blackouts and dramatically increase its dependence on gas imports from Russia as a result of its nuclear phase-out policy if it were followed through.[xxii]
This situation leaves Germany at the mercy of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, whose country is a major supplier of gas to Europe.
The great global-warming hoax
It is quite bizarre that a colorless, odorless trace gas comprising just 0.04 percent of the earth’s atmosphere, and essential to all life on the planet can be routinely described by governments and the media as a “pollutant.” Seven and a half billion humans constantly produce this “pollutant” in their lungs, from which it is exhaled into the atmosphere. All life is carbon-based, and the primary source of this carbon is the CO2 in the global atmosphere. The one indisputable fact about CO2 is that without it, there would be no plant life and hence no life on earth.
The so-called greenhouse gases, of which carbon dioxide is just one, combine to make the planet habitable by raising the average temperature of the earth by some 20 degrees Celsius. Without this greenhouse effect, the planet would largely be an uninhabitable ice-sheet.
From any sensible perspective, life-giving carbon dioxide should be revered not demonized.
Described as the greatest scam in the history of the planet, global-warming alarmism is driven by the political and social agendas of five powerful groups.
- The Green movement uses the global-warming scare as a tool in its quest to de-industrialize the West and destroy capitalism.
- The UN-EU establishment, together with a collection of powerful elites, utilizes the scare in order to carry out a wealth-redistribution program, while simultaneously establishing a new world order, governed by bureaucrats and unelected elites, such as the shadowy billionaire, George Soros.
- Manufacturers and industrial groups, financed by international bankers, reap billions from supplying green technology such as solar panels, windmills and associated paraphernalia, their profits boosted by massive taxpayer-funded subsidies.
- The science establishments, corrupted by huge grants, have also got on the bandwagon, producing research and reports “proving” the existence of man-made global warming. There are no grants available to test or disprove the theory; hence all reports are positive (for the warmists).
- Finally, the mostly left-wing media, which have a natural affinity for the Greens and left-wing causes, also revel in end-of-the-world stories.In his article, “Global governance: funding the NGO monster,” researcher Dr. Richard North exposes the vast array of interlocking global-warming groups receiving taxpayer and corporate funding. It is just part of the picture but gives an idea of the dimension of the global-warming juggernaut and the formidable task of taking it on. Richard North reveals the list of donors from the World Bank down.[xxiii]
The European Commission alone hands out millions of taxpayer dollars annually to global-warming advocacy groups and propaganda organizations, such as the BBC. In 2013 it donated €6.7 million (about $11 million) to the BBC.
Among numerous other donations were €4.2 million to Friends of the Earth and €5.3 million to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).[xxiv]
One of the more interesting donations was €1.5 million to the World Resources Institute (WRI) for “designing the 2015 global climate change agreement.” Even though the WRI is a private United States organization, established in 1982 in Delaware, it has a huge international dimension, receiving most of its multi-million dollar income from governments, their agencies and from multi-national corporations.[xxv]
Unimaginable amounts of money are sunk into the global-warming scam.Britain is committed by law to cut its CO2 emissions in the next 40 years by an impossible 80 percent. Not only will this prove physically impossible without shutting down its economy, but by the Department of Energy’s own estimate, it will cost the UK taxpayer at least £30 billion a year for the next 40 years at a total cost of a staggering £1.22 trillion.[xxvi]
Researcher Dr. Richard North calculated the amount spent on climate funding since 1989 by the European Union at well over US$100 billion.
The International Energy Agency estimates the cost of halving global man-made CO2 emissions by 2050 at $45 trillion.
Journalist James Delingpole writes that the then U.S President Obama’s green strategy, announced in June 2014, could be reduced to one damning equation:
19 million jobs lost plus $4.335 trillion spent = a reduction in global mean temperature of 0.018 degrees C.
Yes. Horrifying but true. These are the costs to the U.S economy, by 2100, of the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory war on carbon dioxide, whereby all states must reduce emissions from coal-fired electricity generating plants by 30 percent below 2005 levels.
A U.S. Chamber of Commerce study calculates that the new regulations will cost the U.S. economy another $51 billion annually, result in 224,000 more lost jobs every year, and cost every American household $3,400 per year in higher prices for energy, food, and other necessities.
Millions of Americans will endure a lower quality of life and be unable to heat or cool their homes properly, pay their rent or mortgage, or save for college and retirement….[xxvii]
And the effect on temperature arising from all this misery and expense?
According to climatologists Paul C. “Chip” Knappenberger and Pat Michaels:
Using a simple, publicly-available, climate model emulator called MAGICC [Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Induced Climate Change] that was in part developed through support of the EPA, we ran the numbers as to how much future temperature rise would be averted by a complete adoption and adherence to the EPA’s new carbon dioxide restrictions.
The answer? Less than two one-hundredths of a degree Celsius by the year 2100.
0.018°C to be exact.[xxviii]
Global cooling may pose a greater threat than global warming
Scientist David Archibald, in his book Twilight of Abundance: Why Life in the 21st Century will be Nasty, Brutish and Short,[xxix] asserts that:
global warming itself, as many others have noted, is the greatest swindle perpetrated in history.
Archibald believes that the greatest threat facing us is not global warming, but global cooling. He writes:
The major discovery of this period, by the Danish researchers Eigil Friis-Christensen and Knud Lassen, was that although there are many correlations between solar activity and the Earth’s climate, the strongest correlation is between solar cycle length and temperature over the following solar cycle. A long solar cycle is followed by a cold climate during the subsequent cycle; a short one, by a warm climate.
A long solar cycle, number 23, finished in 2008, and thus the climate over this cycle, 24, will be colder. We also know that solar cycle 24 will be very long, the longest for more than 350 years, and that means that the climate over cycle 25 will be much colder again. How much colder? Cold enough to shrink the planet’s grain belts a few hundred kilometers toward the equator. My own work in this field has been corroborated by work done with great statistical precision by a Norwegian group of scientists led by Professor Jan-Erik Solheim.[xxx]
Archibald goes on to say that this will lead to grain shortages and starvation in some countries that rely on grain imports to feed their people.
Greens’ crazy scaremongering
The Greens, together with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and a science establishment corrupted by massive financial incentives, pose a dangerous threat to our industrial base with attempts to economically ruin Western economies with their global-warming scaremongering.
The three practical base-load energy sources that are low carbon – nuclear, hydro and gas – are ferociously opposed by the powerful Green parties around the world. The Greens block nuclear for ideological reasons, fracking gas is a Wall Street conspiracy, and dams, which enable hydropower, are an offense against rivers.
The 5th IPCC Assessment report says that the temperature change for the period 2016-2035 is likely to be in the range 0.3C to 0.7C, but admits there has been no discernible temperature change for at least 15 years. However, that didn’t inhibit the then Australian Greens leader, Christine Milne, from making this outrageous statement in the Australian Senate on July 15, 2014:
When we look at the temperature of the planet rising, let us look at the climate science. The fact of the matter is we are on track for four to six degrees of warming. That means people will not survive. Part of the world will be uninhabitable. There will be one million deaths per week for the next 90 years if it gets to 4 degrees.[xxxi]
Summary
UK Independence Party (UKIP) politician Christopher (Lord) Monckton said that the intention of a proposed United Nations climate treaty was to “impose a communist world government”[xxxii] and stated that voting for UKIP was the only option for those who disbelieve in climate change as “all the major parties have decided to sign up to the eco-fascist agenda.”[xxxiii]
Universities are hotbeds of cultural Marxism, turning out Marxist-indoctrinated teachers, journalists, lawyers, academics and social workers. The teachers are indoctrinating their students, readying them for the final indoctrination at university. Marxists infest journalism schools. No wonder the BBC, Australia’s ABC and most of Europe and America’s mainstream media personnel are left-wingers.
Western nations are awash with debt, facing the prospect of a financial meltdown.
Western Europe is in a death spiral.
The Islamists are winning. France is lost; it will be a Muslim country by mid-century. Britain, Germany, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are in grave danger of succumbing to Islam.
Once Islam takes over a country and implements sharia law, its citizens will enter a new Dark Age from which there is no turning back.
The situation is extremely critical.
An exhausted Western civilization is being steadily and relentlessly devoured by the dark forces of Islamic aggression, political correctness, and Marxist-inspired psychological warfare.
“The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive.” – Donald J. Trump[xxxiv]
