Chapter 4 of Western Civilization under Siege : The Assault on the Western Mind
Madness in individuals is something rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs, it is the rule. –Friedrich Nietzsche.
British authorities’ silence about Muslim rape gangs
It was a rainy day, with the sun occasionally peeping through broken clouds, on May 14, 2013, when, after two-and-a-half days’ deliberation, the jury filed back into a packed courtroom in London’s Old Bailey to deliver their verdict in one of Britain’s most notorious child sexual exploitation trials.
The jury found that seven members of a Muslim rape gang, five from Pakistani backgrounds and two of African background, were guilty of a total of 43 charges that included trafficking, forcing girls into prostitution, procuring an illegal abortion, rape, and physical violence.
The gang of abusers had subjected vulnerable white British girls in Oxford to years of rape, torture, and extreme sexual violence and were convicted at the Old Bailey in one of the biggest child sexual exploitation trials in recent years.
Adjourning sentencing until June 26, Judge Peter Rook QC told the defendants: “You all understand that you’ve been convicted by the jury of the most serious offenses. Long custodial sentences are inevitable.”[i]
The girls – all of whom came from backgrounds in care – were drugged, sexually exploited, sold as prostitutes and trafficked around the country while supposedly in the safekeeping of the local authority in the city.
The Old Bailey was told the key members of the group used and abused the six victims in a systematic and organized sex-trafficking ring over eight years until their arrest in 2012.
Years of failings by Thames Valley police and Oxford social services were exposed during the trial. Police were alerted at least six times by victims – who were aged between 11 and 15 – of the exploitation and horrors that were taking place within flats and guesthouses and in the parks and open spaces of the Cowley area of Oxford.
The gang of men subjected the girls to acts of sexual depravity of such extreme violence that police sources said it amounted to torture.
In all they faced 66 counts, which included trafficking, forcing girls into prostitution, procuring an illegal abortion, rape, and physical violence. The men plied the girls with drink and drugs such as crack and heroin, to which they became addicted.
Opening the case for the prosecution, Noel Lucas, QC, said:
Much of what the girls were forced to endure was perverted in the extreme.
These defendants and the others with whom they operated showed the complainants little or no human decency or consideration.
Their conduct towards these very young and vulnerable girls was with total disregard to any moral inhibitions as to their own conduct. The depravity of what the girls were forced to endure was extreme.[ii]
The men did this for their own sexual gratification and the sexual gratification of other men, he added.
Mr. Lucas said Mohammed Karrar – known as Egyptian Mo – bought the youngest victim from an unnamed man just after her 11th birthday.
He befriended her with gifts of perfume and hard drugs but then began to beat her up and raped her, the Old Bailey was told.
He branded her with one of her hairpins, which he had twisted into the shape of an “M” and heated with a cigarette lighter. It left a scar on her left buttock.
“He regarded her as his property,” Mr. Lucas said. “He showed her no regard. If she had the temerity to resist, he beat her.”
“He branded her to make her his property and to ensure others knew about it.”
At the age of 12, she was introduced to Karrar’s brother Bassam, 33, who was also accused of raping her.
From the age of 12, the girl was sold to groups of Asian men who violently raped her in private homes and guesthouses around Oxford and elsewhere. Sometimes she was injected with heroin or given date drugs to ensure she complied with the gang’s sick demands, it was alleged.
Mr. Lucas added:
It became routine for her to be taken to various locations, houses and hotels by the Karrar brothers so she could treat their guests. She would be made to dress up, wear very short skirts and a bikini top, do her hair and put on lots of make-up.
By the end of the evening, she would have been sexually used and abused by all the men. She would be so drugged up as to be unable to feel the pain.[iii]
The six girls were forced to relive the horror of what happened to them in front of an Old Bailey jury during the three-and-a-half-month trial.
Each one broke down as they revealed what had taken place between 2004 and January 2012, when they were groomed, beaten, raped and sold into prostitution around the country.
One victim, known as Girl C, in an interview after she gave her evidence, said that the men exclusively wanted white girls to abuse.
Girl D described how she was branded by her abuser, Mohammed Karrar, and sold to other men for up to £600 an hour. Over five years she was repeatedly raped by groups of men in what she described as “torture sex.”
Another victim, known in court as Girl A, complained twice to police but no one was charged. She told how a care home manager refused to pay her taxi fare when she returned from her abusers in Oxford. Then 14, she was driven back to the city by the taxi driver, and back into the hands of the gang of men to be raped again.
The court heard how the men identified vulnerable girls for abuse then groomed each one of them until they were under the control of the gang.
Acts of physical and sexual violence escalated into using objects to cause pain and humiliation.
The court heard girls were tied up, burnt, suffocated, bitten, scratched and urinated upon.
Jurors were told most of the victims chose to take vast quantities of hard drugs to deaden their senses, particularly when they knew they were being hired out to a large group of men for gang abuse sessions that could go on for days.
The victims would return to Oxford bleeding, injured and carrying sexually-transmitted diseases.
One of the victims described being plied with hard drugs and forced to have sex with strangers while being filmed at the age of 13. On one occasion she was given so much crack cocaine she could not breathe and was rushed to hospital.
In a newspaper interview after the trial, one girl, Katie (not her real name) recounted the horror of her ordeal. During her primary school years, Katie was considered academically gifted and dreamed of becoming a forensic scientist.
But when she turned 12 her life changed forever. Sitting on some steps with a friend in Oxford, Katie was approached by two Pakistani brothers who befriended her with alcohol and cigarettes.
She was flattered by the attention they paid her, completely unaware she was being groomed for sexual exploitation until it was too late.
Katie still struggles to comprehend how a girl with upstanding parents – her father is a civil engineer – could fall prey to such abuse.
At the start they made out like they wanted to be her friend.
After several months, the Pakistani men began to ask her for sex, pretending to want a loving relationship with her.
But soon they were threatening violence if Katie refused to do what she was told.
For almost three years she was violently and sexually abused by a gang and then sold for sex on hundreds of different occasions to a network of child abusers across Britain.
“It’s something I felt I had to do,” she said. “Although I knew what sex was, there’s a difference between having sex as an adult and as a child. This was people taking advantage of a child.”
As her ordeal intensified, Katie was taken to rooms in guest-houses and flats in the backstreets of East Oxford. “I was taken to parties,” she recalled.
“By party I mean everybody coming and having sex with me. If I said I didn’t want it, it would just happen anyway.’”
On some occasions up to ten men were in the room, waiting to have sex with her.
Katie said “they just thought they could do what they wanted with me, no matter how disgusting. It got to the point where I just went along with things.
“Mentally I shut down and just did it.”[iv]
Writing in the Daily Mail, following the guilty verdict, Dr. Taj Hargey, imam of the Oxford Islamic Congregation, said race and religion were inextricably linked to the recent spate of grooming rings in which Muslim men have targeted under-age white girls.
The activities of the Oxford sex ring are “bound up with religion and race” because all the men – though of different nationalities – were Muslim and they “deliberately targeted vulnerable white girls, whom they appeared to regard as ‘easy meat’, to use one of their revealing, racist phrases”, Dr. Hargey said.[v]
That attitude has been promoted by religious leaders, he believes. “On one level, most imams in the UK are simply using their puritanical sermons to promote the wearing of the hijab and even the burka among their female adherents. But the dire result can be the brutish misogyny we see in the Oxford sex ring.”
In all cases, the perpetrators were Muslim men, and the victims were under-age white girls.
To pretend it is not a problem in the Islamic community is “ideological denial,” Dr. Hargey said. He added:
But then part of the reason this scandal happened at all is precisely because of such politically-correct thinking. All the agencies of the state, including the police, the social services, and the care system, seemed eager to ignore the sickening exploitation that was happening before their eyes.
Terrified of accusations of racism, desperate not to undermine the official creed of cultural diversity, they took no action against obvious abuse.
The men were allowed, he said, to come and go from care homes by the authorities, and if the situation had been reversed with gangs of white men preying on Muslim teenagers, “the state’s agencies would have acted with greater alacrity.”
True Islam preaches respect for women, but in mosques across the country a different doctrine is preached – “one that denigrates all women but treats whites with particular contempt,” the imam said.
The men are taught that women are “second-class citizens, little more than chattels or possessions over whom they have absolute authority,” he claimed in the column. He added:
The view of some Islamic preachers towards white women can be appalling. They encourage their followers to believe that these women are habitually promiscuous, decadent, and sleazy — sins which are made all the worse by the fact that they are kaffurs or non-believers.
Their dress code, from miniskirts to sleeveless tops, is deemed to reflect their impure and immoral outlook. According to this mentality, these white women deserve to be punished for their behavior by being exploited and degraded.
Such cases can only be prevented in the future if Britain abandons the blinkers of political correctness, he concluded.[vi]
Talk about political correctness; a BBC News report on May 14, 2013, gave a summary of the proceedings following the guilty verdict giving the names of the perpetrators but nowhere was the word “Muslim” mentioned.
In June 2013 the gang received sentences totaling 95 years for what the presiding judge, Judge Peter Rook, described as “a series of sexual crimes of the utmost depravity.” Brothers Mohammed and Bassam Karrar received life sentences, with minimums of 20 years for Mohammed Karrar and 15 years for Bassam Karrar. Brothers Akhtar and Anjum Dogar received life sentences with minimums of 17 years. Kamar Jamil received a life sentence with a minimum of 12 years. Assad Hussain and Zeeshan Ahmed were both jailed for seven years.[vii]
A serious case review of the Oxford sex gang commissioned by Maggie Blyth, independent chair of the Oxfordshire Safeguarding Children Board (OSCB), was released in March 2015.[viii] It reported that as many as 373 children, 50 of them boys, may have been targeted for sex in Oxfordshire in sixteen years. The report criticized Thames Valley Police and Oxfordshire County Council for “many errors” and not acting sooner. It accused the Thames Valley Police, then led by Chief Constable Sara Thornton, of disbelieving the girls and failing to act on repeated calls for help, and Oxfordshire Social Services for failing to protect them despite compelling evidence they were in danger.
Among the failings is a culture of denial among the professionals who blamed girls for precocious and difficult behavior, blamed girls for putting themselves at risk of harm, tolerated underage sexual activity by girls with older men, and failed to recognize girls had been groomed and violently controlled. The report called for research into why people of “Pakistani or Muslim heritage” constituted a significant number of the perpetrators (even then, no mention of the “M” word.)
Key findings in the serious case review exposed how police officers and social workers did not listen to the girls when they spoke of the abuse they were suffering, did not believe them and dismissed them.
The girls and some of their abusers crossed the police and social services radar multiple times. In 2006 alone, the police received four complaints from the young girls about the men, with their accounts corroborated in some cases. One victim reported the abuse twice to police in 2006. She told officers: “They are doing it to other girls, little girls with their school uniforms on.”
There were thousands of contacts between both agencies and the girls and they were reported missing at least 450 times. One victim, known as Girl C, has spoken of how her foster mother reported her missing 80 times.
The force confirmed no officers or individuals had faced any disciplinary action over Operation Bullfinch, as the police investigation was called, but it has referred itself to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Chief Constable Sara Thornton, from Thames Valley Police, repeated an apology to victims and their families.
She said: “We are ashamed of the shortcomings identified in this report and we are determined to do all we can to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.”[ix]
Thames Valley Chief Constable Miss Thornton was widely regarded as David Cameron’s favorite police leader.
And what did the government do about David Cameron’s blond superstar?
They did what governments usually do in such circumstances. They promoted Ms. Thornton upstairs to get her out of the firing line. In December 2014 Sara Thornton resigned as Thames Valley Chief Constable to accept a position as chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) despite her force’s shocking failures in the scandal.[x]
Mental derangement or mass psychosis?
So how do we explain such widespread bizarre and reprehensible behavior across all authorities, including politicians, police, social workers and councilors tasked with protecting children?
It goes back to the sub-title of this book.
For around 80 years the Western mind has been under sustained frontal assault from each of the forces associated with persons on the cover of this book. Even at kindergarten, children are given anti-Christian messages via the banning of Christmas carols and Nativity plays. From there, children are subjected to cultural Marxist indoctrination at junior school through to high school.
While Australian parents are shocked by the Marxist-inspired Safe Schools LGBTQI program, which teaches children that gender is fluid and celebrating being a man or a woman is “heteronormative”, the left-wing Australian Education Union gives it full support. Instead of celebrating Australia’s economic successes, its high standard of living and the fact that it is a peaceful, democratic nation, the AEU argues that the curriculum must critique the “role of the economy, the sexual division of labor, the dominant culture and the education system in reproducing inequality.”
Dr Kevin Donnelly, senior research fellow at Melbourne’s Australian Catholic University, says that drawing on communist theorists such as Antonio Gramsci, Pierre Bourdieu, and Louis Althusser, schools are condemned as essential parts of the ideological state apparatus that, as a result, must be captured and transformed.
Young minds are more prone to uncritically accepting left-wing orthodoxy from authority figures such as teachers and professors.
A mind that has been softened at school is under full assault when it reaches university. Students are indoctrinated with gender studies, “diversity” studies and multicultural theories. Campuses are rife with activist groups financed by the likes of George Soros and the Ford Foundation (see Chapter 7 below) pushing their particular anti-Western left-wing ideologies. Soros spends many millions of dollars annually promoting a range of anti-capitalist causes, together with his grandiose dream of a world government run by unelected elites.
The Ford Foundation doles out over $500 million annually in grants to activist groups in furtherance of its leftist agenda. Just one example is the issue of same-sex marriage. For most of Western history, the family unit of a man, a woman, and their children has been the cornerstone of society. Although informal same-sex unions have always been around and were generally considered not very remarkable, the public’s attitude to same-sex marriage was another matter. Polls taken around two decades ago indicated public acceptance of same-sex marriage at less than 20 percent of the population. Some years ago, the Ford Foundation started setting up numerous activist groups promoting same-sex marriage. The Ford Foundation’s annual reports in recent years reveal multi-million grants financing these activist groups. (Table 1 in Chapter 7 below details some of the Ford Foundation’s grants to activist groups.)
As a result, current polls show acceptance of same-marriage unions in excess of 60 percent.
Such is the malleability of the human mind when subjected to sustained propaganda.
Lurking in 465 campuses in 123 countries are propaganda centers called Confucius Institutes, financed and controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (see Chapter 3 above, “Hegemon Rising”) and tasked with spreading the Chinese version of socialism as well as presenting a benign face of China’s ruthless totalitarian rule.
Little wonder that by the time they leave university, many students have lost the power of critical thought. They have subscribed to a left-wing orthodoxy embracing anti-capitalism, socialism, global-warming alarmism, feminism and LBGTQI adoration together with an antipathy towards Western civilization.
Critical thinking has been replaced with its opposite, “Critical Theory” – the brain-child of Max Horkheimer – an important strategy of the Marxist Frankfurt School (more on the Frankfurt School in Chapter 6 below). Under its auspices, every tradition of Western life must be redefined as “prejudice” and “perversion.” And these redefinitions were to be instilled into the social stream via devastating, scholarly criticisms of all values such as the family, marriage, property, individualism, faith in God, etc.
The graduates go on to become lawyers, judges, teachers, professors, politicians, and journalists. They are comfortable with the groupthink cocoon of their peers, but become disturbed and even enraged when challenged by others who were mentally strong enough to not succumb to the indoctrination and hence do not subscribe to their distorted worldview.
Even outside of university, the population is bombarded with a constant stream of political correctness. People are taught to fear being branded as “racist,” “bigoted” or “Islamophobic.” They realize it is best not to step outside of what is considered orthodox thought.
And there is an underlying fear among authority figures that if they speak out too loudly against Islam, they could suffer the fate of Theo Van Gogh or the Charlie Hebdo staff. Theo Van Gogh, a Dutch film producer, was assassinated by Mohammed Bouyeri, a Dutch-Moroccan Muslim who objected to a film Van Gogh had made, criticizing the treatment of women in Islam.
All of this has a deleterious effect on the minds of many people, particularly those in authority positions. Some may call it mental derangement; others may label it a psychosis.
I prefer to call it delusional disorder syndrome. People so affected are suffering from what psychologists call delusional disorder. Psychology manuals refer to it as a type of serious mental illness, or psychosis, in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. The main feature of this disorder, according to psychology literature, “is the presence of delusions, unshakable beliefs in something untrue or not based on reality.”[xi] There are four types of delusional disorder. One of them, the “grandiose” variety, in particular, would apply to many elites, particularly Hollywood celebrities. Again from the literature, “a person with this type of delusional disorder has an over-inflated sense of worth, power, knowledge, or identity.”[xii]
Call it what you will, but it is characterized by adherence to the constraints of political correctness, and a willful blindness to events surrounding them, compounded by the fear of being called racist or Islamophobic.
You cannot reason with people who cannot see objective reality. To them, it is all about their feelings, their subjective reality.
This subject matter is expanded in later chapters. Chapter 5 discloses the Soviet methods used to indoctrinate American students back in the 1960s. Soviet defector, Yuri Bezmenov, in a remarkable 1984 interview, exposed the system of Soviet infiltration of American universities and subsequent effects on the minds of students.
People who graduated in the 1960s from American universities, declared Bezmenov, rose to positions of power:
You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information.[xiii]
Sound familiar?
But, unfortunately, the Oxford case discussed earlier is just the tip of a very large iceberg.
The Oxford case echoes the child exploitation scandals in Rotherham, Rochdale, and Derby involving gangs of men of Muslim background targeting white girls in care (see Chapter 9 below). In Oxford, however, the grooming, sexual torture, and trafficking took place on the streets of the Cowley area of the city, in churchyards, parks, a guesthouse and empty flats procured for the purpose of drugging the girls and handing them around to be gang-raped and brutalized.
Delusional disorder syndrome is widespread across Western Europe and the English-speaking world.
The problem is so serious that its effects have catapulted some countries into what can only be described as a death spiral.
Western European leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, are openly and blatantly supporting a population replacement program that will ultimately result in the barbaric Islamic culture replacing the once-proud, magnificent, and tolerant European culture.
Former British Conservative Prime Minister, David Cameron, in a public speech, declared “Islam is a religion of peace,” despite all the clear evidence to the contrary.
In France, Britain, Germany, America (pre-Trump) and nearly every other country in the world, it remains government policy to say that any and all attacks carried out in the name of Mohammed have “nothing to do with Islam.” It was said by George W. Bush after 9/11 and Tony Blair after 7/7. It is what David Cameron said after two British extremists cut off the head of Drummer Lee Rigby in London, when “Jihadi John” cut off the head of aid worker Alan Henning in the “Islamic State”, and when Islamic extremists attacked a Kenyan mall, separated the Muslims from the Christians and shot the latter in the head. And, of course, it is what former President François Hollande said after the massacre of Charlie Hebdo journalists in Paris.
Said former President Barack Obama at the UN: “We have reaffirmed again and again that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. Islam teaches peace.”[xiv]
“I believe that Islam is a great religion that preaches peace,” avowed former President George W. Bush at an Arabic-language television station. “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war.”[xv]
“There is nothing in Islam that justifies acts of terror…they don’t represent Islam or Muslims in Britain or anywhere else in the world,” proclaimed the former British Prime Minister David Cameron.[xvi]
His then Home Secretary, Theresa May, confirmed the declaration, “This hateful ideology has nothing to do with Islam itself…. The Quran says… ‘Let there be no compulsion in religion’.”[xvii]
A sort of mental paralysis engendered by a fear of being thought an “Islamophobe,” or a “racist,” makes it hard if not impossible for people in the public eye to admit that there is another truth that has, unfortunately, been well known for centuries.
In October 2017, Queen’s Counsel Max Hill, who acts as the British government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, argued that British fighters for Islamic State, who had returned or planned to return to the UK, should not be prosecuted but reintegrated into society on the grounds that they had acted “naively.” He was even prepared to extend this leniency to hate preachers who had given sermons and lectures exhorting Muslims to take direct action that has in the past led to actual terrorist attacks.[xviii]
Before that, Prime Minister David Cameron and his then Home Secretary Theresa May had “proposed measures including banning orders, extremism disruption orders and closure orders, which would allow premises used by extremists to be shut, and make it easier to restrict the activities of individuals and organisations.”[xix]
Yet Max Hill QC, the man in charge of British terrorist legislation, wants none of that. Mr. Hill said that the creation of new criminal offenses, including banning orders and extremism disruption orders, backed by potential jail sentences, should not go ahead.
Max Hill’s notion that departing fighters have been naïve is itself a staggering misconception on the part of a man educated at Newcastle’s prestigious Royal Grammar School and Oxford University. No one heading for Syria will have been blithely unaware of the multitude of videos broadcast by the mainstream media and all the social media, showing the beheading of hostages, the executions of homosexuals, the lashing of women, the heads spiked on fences, the use of children to shoot victims or cut their throats, and all the other excesses committed by the terrorist group.
The same month (October 2017) that Hill sought to undertake the rehabilitation of jihadists and hate preachers, the UK Daily Telegraph reported that the British Home Office (formerly run by Theresa May), was “looking at a new strategy to reintegrate extremists, that could even see them propelled to the top of council house waiting lists if needed.”[xx]
Extremists who had nowhere suitable to live could be put in social housing by the local council and could have their rent paid if necessary.
They could also be given priority on waiting lists and helped into education and training or found a job with public bodies or charities.
This proposal would include returnees from the Islamic State in Syria, and overall could include up to 20,000 individuals known to the security services. Around 850 British subjects had gone to Syria to fight or support fighters there, and 350 of them subsequently returned to Britain, with only a tiny handful so far prosecuted.
The authorities somehow have the bizarre belief that generosity on Britain’s part will turn the jihadists into grateful patriots, prepared to stand for the national anthem and hold hands with Christians and Jews. Such belief is truly an example of mental derangement syndrome.
The British government uses double standards: one for Muslims and one for the rest of the population. On January 16, 2018, in England, Daniel Grundy was jailed for six months on a charge of bigamy after his estranged wife, Helen Gundry, caught him with his second wife. However, Muslim men in polygamous marriages are rewarded by the state. To avoid the embarrassment of dealing with the issue of polygamous marriages, the British government has come up with a novel way to overcome the problem.
The new universal credit welfare system being phased in across the UK is set to reward polygamous households with higher benefits. Second and subsequent wives will now be treated as single, thus attracting higher welfare benefits.
Husbands living in a “harem” with multiple wives have been cleared to claim state benefits for all their different partners. So all persons other than the first wife are not wives, after all; they are supposedly just single women living in the same house.
A Muslim man with four spouses – which is permitted under Islamic law – could receive £10,000 a year in income support alone.
Ministers have decided that, even though bigamy is a crime in Britain, polygamous marriages can be recognized formally by the state – provided they took place overseas, in countries where they are legal.
In a similar vein are official attitudes to a common Muslim practice of female genital mutilation, which has been illegal in the UK since 1985.
A British Medical Association report in July 2011 revealed that, even as far back as 2001, 65,790 British women had undergone genital mutilation with the highest numbers being women from Kenya and Somalia. The study noted that “their numbers are likely to have increased since then.”[xxi]
Medical staff working in Britain’s National Health Service recorded close to 5,500 cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) in 2016 alone, but no one has been successfully prosecuted since the practice was banned over 30 years ago. The police and the Crown Prosecution Service are too frightened of seeming racist or “Islamophobic” to enforce the law.
Authorities are we now so afraid of being called “Islamophobes” that they are prepared to sacrifice their countries’ cultural, political, and religious strengths and aspirations.
Sweden has the first feminist government in the world
“Sweden has the first feminist government in the world,” brags the Swedish government on its official website. Meaning what, exactly?
“This means that gender equality is central to the Government’s priorities… a gender equality perspective is brought into policy-making on a broad front… The Government’s most important tool for implementing feminist policy is gender mainstreaming, of which gender-responsive budgeting is an important component.”[xxii]
Accompanying this gush of bureaucratic rhetoric is a photograph of Sweden’s current government of twelve female feminists and eleven male feminists.
Of course, there are various types of feminism. Sweden’s preferred model is not about universal sisterhood and the spreading of sexual equality around the globe. No, it is “intersectional” feminism. What is “intersectional” feminism? It is a species of feminism that, in accordance with the relatively new academic concept of “intersectionality,” accepts a hierarchy whereby other “victim groups” – such as “people of color” and Muslims – are higher up on the grievance ladder than women, and whereby women who belong to those other groups enjoy an even more exalted status as victims than white female Christians or Jews.
A white woman is penalized by her gender but has the advantage of race. A black woman is disadvantaged by her gender and her race. A black lesbian experiences discrimination because of her ethnicity, her gender, and her sexual orientation.
This reasoning means that “intersectional” feminists must be culturally sensitive and culturally relative, recognizing and privileging culturally predicated values other than sexual equality. They must be feminists who understand that while no expression of contempt for the purported tyranny of Western males can be too loud, overstated or vulgar, they must, in their encounters with less feminist-minded cultures, temper their devotion to female equality out of respect for those cultures’ different priorities.
Cowering at the very bottom of this cultural hierarchy is the much-despised white male.
Never mind that the intersectional feminists and their fellow “victims” stand at the pinnacle of the greatest civilization in history, thanks to the efforts of white males over more than two thousand years. Starting with the Greek philosophers, white men, utilizing the male attributes of curiosity, boldness, and ingenuity have slowly but inexorably pushed forward the boundaries of knowledge, the concepts of law and justice and standards of living. Along the way, white males invented the printing press, the steam engine, the automobile and the aircraft, for the benefit of all.
White men also invented the flushing toilet, the refrigerator and the washing machine, which at the time were mainly for the benefit of women. And in 1947, three white male scientists at the Bell Laboratories in the U.S. invented the transistor, opening the door to the digital age and the amazing world of electronic devices used and enjoyed universally today.
The feminists could not have spread their divisive ideology without a plethora of electronic devices, including computers and the world-wide-web (invented by Tim Berners-Lee – you guessed it – a white male).
The feminists overlook the fact that males represent 99 percent of combat casualties as they go to war to protect their wives and families from the rampages of tyrants and dictators.
Self-described “notorious Amazon feminist,” Camille Paglia, puts it succinctly, “If civilization had been left in female hands,” she wrote in an article, “we would still be living in grass huts.”[xxiii]
Still, in no country have the precepts of “intersectional” feminism been more unequivocally endorsed by the political and cultural establishment, and more eagerly internalized by the citizenry, than in Sweden.
One of the consequences of “intersectional” feminism is a severe reluctance to punish Muslim men for acting in accordance with the moral dictates of their own culture; and it is precisely because of this reluctance that Sweden, with its “feminist government,” has, according to some observers, become the “rape capital of the West.”[xxiv]
Moreover, it was “intersectionality” that, in February 2017, led every female member of a Swedish government delegation to Iran to wear hijabs, plus long, shapeless coats in a message of dhimmitude (that is, living as a dhimmi, a second-class citizen under Islamic rule.) A photograph shows one woman with her right hand on her chest, a signal that President Rouhani need not worry she might try to shake his hand. “With this gesture of subjugation,” observed one Swiss news website, “they have not only made a joke of any concept of ‘feminism’ but have also stabbed their Iranian sisters in the back.”
The great global warming scare
There is no better example of the mental derangement syndrome than the disinformation, the furor and the threat to industrial production created by the great global warming scare.
Many intelligent scientists have abandoned their training in the rigorous scientific method to leap onto the bandwagon of the unproven theory of “global warming.” The majority of politicians and mainstream journalists have followed suit.
The drowning of tiny Pacific islands is a favorite cause for the global warming cult.
These postcard paradises had become poster children for a planetary crisis, with their inhabitants cast as the world’s first climate refugees.
“Tuvalu sinks today – the rest of us tomorrow?”, blared the headline of the Los Angeles Times on February 18, 2002. The newspaper went on:
But these 11,000 people, who live on nine coral atolls a few hundred miles northwest of American Samoa, have earned a distinction, however dubious. They may comprise the first country to pay the ultimate price for a changing climate: national extinction. Rising sea levels are gradually inundating Tuvalu.[xxv]
Former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore, in his 2006 film An Inconvenient Truth, claimed that so dire was this danger that “the citizens of these Pacific nations have all had to evacuate to New Zealand.”[xxvi]
Professor Mohammed Dore, an environmental economist from Canada’s Brock University, in 2012 declared that Tuvalu was uninhabited already. “In fact, there is an island called Tuvalu which was completely evacuated, and New Zealand accepted all the residents because of sea level rising,” he wrote, much to the surprise of the island’s 11,000 residents, who have actually doubled their number in the past three decades.[xxvii]
Writes British journalist Patrick Barkham:
Tuvalu, a nation of nine islands – specks in the South Pacific – is in danger of vanishing, a victim of global warming. As their homeland is battered by ferocious cyclones and slowly submerges under the encroaching sea, what will become of the Islanders?…
Five years on [after cyclones Hina and Kelly], the government of Tuvalu has noticed many such troubling changes on its nine inhabited islands and concluded that, as one of the smallest and lowest-lying countries in the world, it is destined to become the first nation sunk by global warming.[xxviii]
Tuvalu’s prime minister, Saufatu Sopoanga, in 2003 went to the United Nations to present a bill to the guilty Westerners he insisted were causing the seas to drown his home. He really laid it on thick: “The threat is real and serious, and is of no difference to a slow and insidious form of terrorism against us.”[xxix]
Unfortunately for the alarmists, recent scientific research concludes Tuvalu is not drowning but actually increasing in size.
A University of Auckland study examined changes in the geography of Tuvalu’s nine atolls and 101 reef islands between 1971 and 2014, using aerial photographs and satellite imagery.
Co-author Paul Kench said the research, published in February 9, 2018, in the journal Nature Communications, challenged the assumption that low-lying island-nations would be swamped as the sea rose. The study results highlight a net increase in land area in Tuvalu of 73.5 ha (2.9%), despite some sea-level rise, and land area increase in eight of nine atolls.[xxx]
Unless conservative groups unite to tackle head-on the delusional behavior generated by the propaganda and indoctrination propagated by the likes of Soros, the Ford Foundation, the Greens, the globalists, the radical feminists, the Alinsky acolytes, the Islamists and the Chinese Communist Party, the future of Western civilization looks extremely bleak.
A new Dark Age awaits.
