Everything Is Going to Hell — Cheer Up!

Everything everywhere in the West is going to hell on three different fronts, and the weekend's news — you know, the stories I wallowed in all Saturday and Sunday instead of waiting for Monday morning — provides three perfect (and perfectly chilling) examples.

...

But then I had a happy thought, courtesy of the Blogfaddah himself, Glenn Reynolds. "If," he asked on Sunday, "the Intifada has been globalized, doesn’t that mean that it’s been, well, globalized on both sides?"

Glenn took it a step further.

"If it’s a global Intifada, then isn’t a mosque or Islamic 'charity' that, say, provided the guns to the Bondi shooters a legit target for droning? If not, why not? Can you have a global war in only one direction?"

Clearly, yes. But just as I and many others have been screaming into the void for a couple of decades or longer, Islam is at war with the West — as seen irrefutably on 9/11 and so many other dates since — but we choose to yammer on about "religion of peace" and other such nonsense.

Writing those words makes me wonder if our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were doomed from the start — not because of nation-building mission-creep that eventually did them in, but because our political and military leadership remained wedded to "religion of peace" instead of "rain death and destruction upon our enemies."

Yes, I think.

...

We can choose differently. It requires just four steps, very broadly defined — and only three of them require actually doing anything.

Here they are:

- Institutionalize the crazies.
- Lock up the criminals.
- Blow up the terrorists.
- And leave the rest of us alone to enjoy our liberty and pursue our happiness.

The situation is serious, but not hopeless. Or is it the other way around?

Western Civilization is indeed collapsing.

"Can you have a global war in only one direction?"

It started in the 7th century, and has been waged in one direction ever since with the exception of the Crusades from about 1099 to 1305 or something like that. The Crusades were really the only time we really tried to fight back. And even then it was minimal.

The West should expel all Muslims with extreme prejudice. Coexistence isn't an option.

As I said here: https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4357219/posts?page=36#36

Screw this designating groups like ISIS as terrorists. It's time we said the truth out loud and declared ISLAM AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION and treated ALL of them as TERRORISTS.
Then we could deport them en-mass and turn their mosques into churches and synagogues - or pig farms and liquor stores.
Maybe then these dirtbags would start policing their own, rather than cheering any time a member of the 'religion of peace' murders a Christian or Jew.

Spain took until 1492 to finish of the Spanish occupation of Spain.

The miraculous “Battle of Lepanto” (naval battle) occured in 1571, and the crucial Battle of Vienna occured on September 11, 1673.

Hillaire Belloc stated, that we should remmber that date, September 11. We didn’t, they did.

From "The Great Heresies" (Belloc)

Today we are accustomed to think of the Mohammedan world as something backward and stagnant, in all material affairs at least. We cannot imagine a great Mohammedan fleet made up of modern ironclads and submarines, or a great modern Mohammedan army fully equipped with modern artillery, flying power and the rest. But not so very long ago, , the Mohammedan Government centred at Constantinople had better artillery and better army equipment of every kind than had we Christians in the West. The last effort they made to destroy Christendom was contemporary with the end of the reign of Charles II in England and of his brother James and of the usurper William III. It failed during the last years of the seventeenth century, only just over two hundred years ago. Vienna, as we saw, was almost taken and only saved by the Christian army under the command of the King of Poland on a date that ought to be among the most famous in history-_September 11, 1683. But the peril remained, Islam was still immensely powerful within a few marches of Austria and it was not until the great victory of Prince Eugene at Zenta in 1697 and the capture of Belgrade that the tide really turned_and by that time we were at the end of the seventeenth century.

Kudos to Rhode Island media for being tough and confronting these officials.

[packrat35]

Yes it is and most here on FR will not agree much less the general population.

Soon it will be a thing to study in the far off future’s history books. Society’s die from within, and as the rot spreads making them weak, they are finally conquered and destroyed from the outside forces.

Rome is a perfect example.

[Pollard]

I love it when headlines fall together in related groups.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Orchestrated collapse...”destroy from within”

Specifically October 7th. You may recall a recent event involving October 7th.

[GingisK]

Rome is a perfect example.

I have been reading some remarkable material like Why Civilizations Collapse at The Palladium Letter. Combined with The Eight Stages of the Rise and Fall of Civilizations, it is easy to see that our civilization is well into its final stages.

[Dr. Sivana]

Specifically October 7th.

Excellent catch.

[Organic Panic]

I have two compounds. F the world. I don’t give an s anymore.

👍👍

(Western Civilization is indeed collapsing.)

ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN

[georgia peach]

I always wondered why the Muslims picked that date.Thank you.

[Rummyfan]

Marking.
