A bite-sized chunk of my big-picture piece from Quadrant has now been excerpted in Australia's national newspaper, The Australian:
The biggest story of our time is that the entirety of the western world is sliding off the cliff – and most citizens of the west are not even aware of it, and have no desire to be made aware of it.
In that respect, I envy them. It is comforting to paddle one's canoe and insist that the ever louder roaring sound from up ahead is the crowd at a Taylor Swift gig and not Niagara Falls. To be sure, permanence is the illusion of every age, but only in our time do we choose consciously not to believe our lyin' eyes.
Nevertheless, the west is now weak by every measure. First, and most obviously, it is demographically dying. Second, it is economically moribund. Third, it is militarily feckless. Fourth, it is culturally suicidal... A couple of decades back, I would have kept the list going for another half-dozen sobering bullet-points, but let's just cut to the chase: We're nuts, and we're raising our kids to be even nuttier.
That last bit doesn't always work, of course: on the Continent, young voters are some of the most enthusiastic supporters of Germany's AfD, France's National Rally and other 'far right' 'neo-fascist' parties...
But "democracy" no longer quite works as it's meant to, does it? In Romania, the election got cancelled and the leading candidate arrested; in Canada, a globalist technocrat who's never sat in Parliament and is entirely unknown in his native land got parachuted in from Klaus Schwab's hollowed-out Alp....

The UK just postponed a number of Council elections.
Not a peep from the populace.
Half of county councils could see election delay
Meanwhile their Councils are going bankrupt, taxes are soaring, and the taxpaying populace is being begggared.
At this point I’d almost welcome civil war in Britain, France and several other Western European countries. Civil War would mean the natives had finally woken up enough to start fighting back instead of passively sitting back watching their countries be obliterated by the invading muslim hordes.
In such a civil war I wouldn’t hesitate to intervene on the side of the good guys.
But first the Europeans are going to have to show us they are at least willing to start standing up for themselves. I’m willing to help. I’m not willing to fight their battles for them.
A dangerous lie from the 20th century: There is one master race.
A dangerous lie from the 21st century: All cultures are exactly equal.
The first lie lead to death and destruction.
I fear the second lie will do the same.
Megadittoes.
You and I think alike. IMHO, western culture needs another great awakening. I believe we’re in the early stages of one. The cultural battles in prior awakenings ultimately became political battles. The he so-called “enlightened” class, then as now, encouraged hedonism and bitterness and less belief in God. For the west to recover again as a culture, we have to recover again our relationship with God.
Recently a political pundit predicted that the first radical Islamic country to get nuclear weapons will be...England.
Indicators point to civil war in the UK, says the professor.
(This may be a contributing Starmer’s reason for rallying against an outside enemy, or one might say a real good excuse for furthering the government’s ((not the people’s() primary interest in Ukranian resources.)
King Charles is the commander-in-chief of the British military. If push comes to shove, I wonder what he’d do.
But maybe I shouldn’t wonder.
Side note to Charlie: If and when the Muslims take over, don’t think for a second your family will be able to keep the crown. Instead, just remember what happened to Tsar Nicholas II.
I’m working on it. But the more I do, the more I realize His kingdom is not of this world. Outcome based objectives for political change don’t jive with that.
Swarmy snake on the left laying it on thick: "You broke the deadlock"
Rutte thinks he can flatter him.
And therein lies the real reason the Eurocrats have suddenly decided to rearm. Russia is just cover. Euro progs see their native populations as the closest threat to their rule.
phoney nato F, we need to take care of business here or foriegn outside cancer will take care of us for good
