My book Ten Years to Save the West is out on April 16th the UK and U.S.

We must change the system and be prepared to fight for conservative values.

TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Conspiracy
KEYWORDS: book; civilization; west; wisdom
In Ten Years to Save the West, Truss, who as Prime Minister sought to champion limited government and individual freedom, will argue that the rise of authoritarianism around the world and the adoption of fashionable ideas propagated by the global left give us barely a decade to preserve the economic and cultural freedom and institutions that the West holds so dear.

Peppered with newsworthy anecdotes from Truss’s time in public life – such as her memorable last meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, her challenges to Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping as Foreign Secretary, her encounters with the Trump administration as Trade Secretary, and her dismay at the political class’s attempt to betray Brexit – Ten Years to Save the West will also offer a timely warning about the perils facing conservatism in the years ahead.

In it, Truss will warn that too many of her fellow conservatives have allowed themselves to be captured by the left-wing influences that set the agenda and frame the debate in so many institutions from the media to academia and the corporate world.

She will also call for a return to the alliances built by leaders such as Reagan, Thatcher and others in another era when Western values were under siege. Only if the West recommits to building both strong societies and strong economies, unhampered by big government and regulation, Truss argues, can we guarantee voters a free and meaningful choice in their destiny.

Nope. The West is done. Just hanging on life support.

And even then it will never be what it once was

Until and Unless “the West” repents and returns to God, there will be no saving the West.

Ten years? We don't even have ten days.

The West is like the Titanic and the iceberg is 200 feet off our bow.

But there's good news too.

The Radical Left that has destroyed the West is also doomed. No culture or civilization can survive when there is a complete disregard for human wisdom. The Left is burning down the house but hasn't noticed that they are still inside. Even if the arsonists are able to escape from the inferno, they have nowhere to go and no plans for a culture to replace the one they have just destroyed.

Yep, “All the Kings Horses and all the King’s Men, couldn’t put Humpty together again.”

Radical Labour will crush the Tories in the next UK election.
The French Deep State will never let Marine Le Pen’s party win.
Etc.

Hard to see a path out for Europe.
We’ve still got a shot.

Sorry, but like the previous Soviet Union, our population has not yet learned the corruption of their system they follow, nor have everyone from top to bottom lost faith in the marxist ideology.

Unfortunately, the West still needs to go through that.

Trump will be a nice - and welcome - counter balance
