Europe is finally waking up to the fact that the undeveloped world is making a concentrated effort at getting to the West and their generous welfare systems. When will we wake up ? In the words of Margaret Thatcher –
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

As Migration to Europe Rises, a Backlash Grows
Anti-immigration parties are winning elections and surging in polls

Rising migration across Europe, including the biggest surge in asylum seekers since a 2015-2016 migrant crisis, is fueling support for far-right and anti-immigration parties, potentially reshaping European politics for years.
Nationalist parties that champion a harder line against immigration are surging in polls and have entered governments in countries from Italy to Finland, as anxiety rises about sluggish economic growth and crises from Ukraine to the Middle East. The far right is polling strongly in the continent’s two largest countries, Germany and France.
This week’s victory in Dutch elections by far-right politician Geert Wilders, who has placed anti-migration policies at the heart of his political platform for the last 15 years, was a powerful sign of how voters are drifting to antiestablishment politicians, analysts said. He will still need to form a coalition in a fractured political landscape, which likely means softening some of his policy goals, but said Thursday that he wants to become prime minister.

This is an excellent article explaining the history of Cultural Marxism and how it has been dominating our country. I sent this article out a few years ago but feel it is even more relevant today to explain the history of the decline of the culture of the U.S. The far left Marxists have been wildly successful in imposing their ideology on our youth, institutions, entertainment, even many of our religious institutions. Only with knowledge of their history and their methods do we have any hope of defeating them. Please read and share with your contacts. Nancy
Who Stole our Culture?
by The Standard | Mar 13, 2020 | William S. Lind
William S. Lind has a B.A. in History from Dartmouth College and an M.A., also in History, from Princeton University. He served as director of the Center for Cultural Conservatism of the Free Congress Foundation in Washington, D.C., and as a vestryman at St. James Anglican Church in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.

Sometime during the last half-century, someone stole our culture. [I]n the 1950s, America was a great place. It was safe. It was decent. Children got good educations in the public schools. Even blue-collar fathers brought home middle-class incomes, so moms could stay home with the kids. Television shows reflected sound, traditional values.
Where did it all go? How did that America become the sleazy, decadent place we live in today – so different that those who grew up prior to the ’60s feel like it’s a foreign country? Did it just “happen”?
It didn’t just “happen.” In fact, a deliberate agenda was followed to steal our culture and leave a new and very different one in its place. The story of how and why is one of the most important parts of our nation’s history – and it is a story almost no one knows. The people behind it wanted it that way.
What happened, in short, is that America’s traditional culture, which had grown up over generations from our Western, Judeo-Christian roots, was swept aside by an ideology. We know that ideology best as “political correctness” or “multi-culturalism.” It really is cultural Marxism, Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms in an effort that goes back not to the 1960s, but to World War I. Incredible as it may seem, just as the old economic Marxism of the Soviet Union has faded away, a new cultural Marxism has become the ruling ideology of America’s elites. The No. 1 goal of that cultural Marxism, since its creation, has been the destruction of Western culture and the Christian religion.
To understand anything, we have to know its history. To understand who stole our culture, we need to take a look at the history of “political correctness.”
Early Marxist theory
Antonio Gramsci, a Marxist, is best known for his Critical Theory today. Critical Theory subjected every traditional institution, starting with the family, to endless, unremitting criticism in hopes to bring them down.

Is history repeating itself ? It certainly seems that it is.
Nancy
Are we the Byzantines?
Christendom had cannibalized itself. Western Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy fought endlessly. Westerners often hated each other more than they did their common enemy.
In the final days of Constantinople, almost no help was sent from Western Europe to the besieged city.
In fact 250 years earlier, the Western Franks of the Fourth Crusade had detoured from the Holy Land to storm the supposedly allied Christian City of Constantinople. Then they ransacked it and hijacked the Byzantine Empire for a half-century. Constantinople never quite recovered.
The 14 th-century Black Plague killed tens of thousands of Byzantines and scared thousands more into moving out of the cramped city.
But the aging and dying empire battled more than the challenges of internal divisions, or an unforeseen but deadly pandemic and the empire’s disastrous responses to it.
The last generations of Byzantines had inherited a global reputation and standard of living that they themselves no longer earned.
They neglected their former civic values and fought endless battles over obscure religious texts, doctrines, and vocabulary.
They did not expand their anemic army and navy. They did not reunite their scattered Greek-speaking empire. They did not properly maintain their once life-giving walls.
Instead of earning money through their accustomed nonstop trade, they inflated their currency and were forced to melt down the city’s inherited gold and silver fixtures.
The once canny and shrewd Byzantines grew smug and naive. Childlessness became common. Most now preferred to live outside of what had become a half-empty, often dirty, and poorly maintained city.
Meanwhile they underestimated the growing power of the Ottomans who systematically pruned away their empire. By the mid-15th century, Islamic armies were ready to exploit fatal Byzantine weaknesses.
The Sultan Mehmed II grandly announced the Ottomans were now the real, the only world power. Ascendant Ottoman armies would eventually move on to the very gates of Vienna in an effort to rule all the lands of the ancient Roman empire.
We should take heed from the last generations of the Byzantines.
Nowhere is it foreordained that America has a birthright to remain the world’s preeminent civilization.

Antonio Gramsci: Origins of the Culture Wars, Political Correctness, Critical Race Theory, Cancel Culture, Corporate Media Propaganda, Big Tech Censorship | Truth Over News
TRUTH OVER NEWS
JEFF CARLSON AND HANS MAHNCKE
Our nation has been pushed inexorably toward the left for decades.
Has this been caused by a simple evolutionary process, a normal outcome of a wealthy and successful society falling into middle age?
Or does it have some deeper cause, a more active agent of change?
This question seems to be of particular relevance today as the culture wars have spilled into the streets—some might even say they’ve been lost.
Political correctness, critical race theory, cancel culture, corporate media propaganda, Big Tech censorship, demonization of conservatives, and military wokeness are all techniques currently being employed.
How did we get here and where did this process begin?
Welcome to Truth over News with Jeff Carlson and Hans Mahncke.

Nolte: You Can Thank Environmentalists for the Invasion of Ukraine
By John Nolte February 24, 2022
It is the West’s wacko environmentalists who handed Russian President Vladimir Putin the leverage and money to invade Crimea in 2014 and Ukraine this week.
Without these wackos, Putin would be just another gangster in charge of a crumbling country, and maybe one on the verge of a revolution to depose him.
But the facts are the facts are the facts, and the facts are these… Thanks to the West’s environmentalists, those smug greenies who are more concerned with carbon output than world peace, this gangster controls much of the energy going to the European Union (E.U.). Per Statista, here are the countries most dependent on Russia for natural gas. The percentages tell us just how dependent:
- North Macedonia (100 percent)
- Finland (94 percent)
- Bulgaria (74 percent)
- Slovakia (70 percent)
- Germany (49 percent)
- Italy (46 percent)
- Poland (40 percent)
- France (24 percent).
It gets worse.
As of 2019, a full 27 percent of the European Union’s crude oil, 41 percent of its natural gas, and 47 percent of its solid fuel (mostly coal) come from Russia.
Why?
Well, it’s very simple. Russia is not stupid. Putin is not stupid. He drills and digs and fracks while Western countries pat themselves on the back for closing coal mines, refusing oil leases, and shuttering nuclear power plants. And in doing so, even at the expense of giving the gangster Putin leverage over them, these Western countries pat themselves on the back for decreasing their carbon footprints and going green…

Meanwhile, Putin is given control over the very thing that allows Western Civilization to remain Western Civilization: energy.

December 11, 2021 AMERICAN THOUGHT LEADERS
PART 2: Robert Destro—Is the West Starting to Adopt China’s Orwellian Social Credit System and Internet Firewall?
AMERICAN THOUGHT LEADERS
“If you allow people to say, ‘Oh, declaring an emergency means that rights don’t apply,’ then there’s going to be lots of emergencies.”
With the spread of Big Tech censorship and lockdowns of the unvaccinated, are elements of China’s internet firewall and Orwellian social credit system now spreading to the West?
In part two of our interview with Robert Destro, former assistant secretary of state for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL), we discuss the state of human rights in the United States and the rest of the Western world. Destro is also a law professor at The Catholic University of America’s Columbus School of Law.
Previously, in part one of this interview, we discussed human rights atrocities in China, from slave labor in Xinjiang to state-sanctioned organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners.
“You have to stand up against tyranny. Otherwise, it will eat you alive,” Destro says.
Below is a rush transcript of this American Thought Leaders episode from Dec 11, 2021. This transcript may not be in its final form and may be updated.
Jan Jekielek: What are you seeing? What are you seeing here on the ground? What are you seeing in other liberal democracies around the world right now?
Robert Destro, Ph.D.: Well, one of the things we’re seeing is the weakness of institutions. We have to have strong institutions. And one of the part of the genius of the framers of the constitution was founded Federalist 51, where they said, first, we divided up all the power between federal and state, and then we divided it among branches. The whole idea was that so you have places where you could go to complain. The idea was that the people who would protect you were the ones who were closest to you, starting with your family and then moving upwards, right? We have a decentralized understanding of how you protect human rights. In any country where it’s centralized, if those institutions fail, you’re done.
