The horrific scenes of missile strikes on residential areas and hospitals in Israel should make us shudder twice: Once for the death and destruction we see in the videos, and again for ourselves, as we catch a glimpse of our own future.
Developments in drone and missile technology have changed the face of warfare and terrorism, and blurred the line between the two. You don’t need a trillion-dollar military budget to afford these weapons. Any Tom, Dick, or Ahmed can acquire and stockpile them. When they are launched in huge quantities, there appears to be no airtight defense. The Arab states and the various terrorist gangs of the Middle East have always enjoyed a number of advantages over Israel that stem from the asymmetrical nature of the conflict. The first is that the Arabs (and the current Iranian regime) make no distinction between military and civilian targets/combatants. They can therefore use drones and missiles as instruments of terror, as they did from Gaza (Hamas) and Lebanon (Hizbollah). And they never have to fear that Israel will turn around and do the same to them. It has never happened, despite the phony mise en scène by the Arabs and their sympathizers in the West. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has assured the Iranian people that the war is being fought against the regime, not against them. Could you imagine an Iranian leader making such a statement? They can’t even bring themselves to acknowledge the Israelis as citizens of a country, or even as human beings. It’s always the “Zionist entity,” populated by the evil Jew infidels. Another key advantage derived from the asymmetrical nature of the conflict is that the Israelis, since 1948, are fighting to survive; the Arabs are fighting to destroy. The Jewish state has always been one defeat away from annihilation, whereas nobody seriously fears that Egypt or Jordan or Iran will be wiped off the face of the earth, their inhabitants massacred. This asymmetry, combined with the overwhelming advantage in land mass and population, means that the Arabs and Iran can expend their resources on terror, without having to worry too much about military effectiveness, strictly speaking. No matter what happens, no matter how irrational and tactically unsound their behavior, they will still be here tomorrow. The Israelis, obviously, do not have that luxury. Throughout the history of the Arab-Israel conflict, after the Israelis conquer a bit of territory, they almost always withdraw. Every instance, such as their relinquishing of the Sinai peninsula as part of the Camp David accords, has proven to be a monumental blunder. In 1982, Israel flushed the PLO out of southern Lebanon, held the territory for a number of years, and then pulled out. Hizbollah, backed by Iran, filled the void. We all know the result. Gaza, the site of numerous wars and operations to stamp out the terror apparatus, was also relinquished, as a key element of the Oslo “peace accords” fiasco. It took about a week to see where that was going. It is impossible to conclude sustainable treaties or “deals” in this environment. Americans, generally having no personal experience of the Middle East, can be excused for considering such folly. But what about the Israelis? Why do they repeatedly fall into the trap, only to get burned every time? I would say it is a combination of unrelenting international pressure; the machinations of their own Leftist Establishment; high sensitivity to casualties; and sheer exhaustion, compounded over decades of confrontation with their violent, fanatical antagonists. Israelis pretend that peace is possible, or else hope to buy a few years worth of quiet with each concession, knowing in the back of their minds that the Arabs will inevitably revert to form. North America and Western Europe are now facing an existential challenge with eerie similarities. On both continents, there is an alarming growth of extraterritoriality for ethnic enclaves within the boundaries of the host countries. In Europe, the Muslim takeover is accelerating. In America, we are inundated with hostile foreign populations; the current flash point is an irredentist movement, La Raza, with its stronghold in southern California. We are rapidly approaching a regime of de facto autonomy. In Los Angeles, an enormous district of illegal aliens has formed, becoming a city-within-a-city in which the nominal civil authority dare not flex its muscles. The inhabitants of this dominion (and their enablers) were shocked that the Trump Administration attempted to enforce American sovereignty on what the separatists consider to be their exclusive territory. In other words, we are seeing the emergence of our own Gaza. Following the playbook of the perpetually seething Palestinian Arabs, the Aztlanistas can transform themselves into a violent mob at the drop of a hat. Moreover, they do not distinguish between random, innocent civilians, and agents of the American government; are supported and funded by the Left and the mainstream propaganda organs; and have a conduit to the world via a nearby sympathetic nation that lies beyond the international border. It is not far-fetched to imagine a Hamas-style invasion of American neighborhoods, and this time around, not just looting of businesses and blocking of highways—disruptive and intolerable as this is—but rather wholesale slaughter of anyone caught in the human wave. It is also not a stretch to imagine drones and light missiles being launched from within the La Raza enclave, or from just across the border in Mexico. The same could easily happen in Europe, where autonomous zones for the savages are even more deeply entrenched. When the escalation arrives, will we negotiate with the terrorists, try to make deals, perhaps formalize some aspect of autonomy, desperately hoping, like the Israelis, to buy a few years of peace and quiet? However the Iran situation plays out, when U.S. involvement winds down, Mr. Trump needs to reconvene his National Security Council in the “situation room,” but this time to supervise a military campaign to clean out southern California. And I don’t mean deployment of the National Guard to protect federal property; I’m talking air strikes and all the rest—a war, a real war, to expel the invaders. Lord, give our leaders strength. When you cede territory to implacable enemies who seek your destruction, the results are predictable. As in Israel, so it is in Europe and America. It can happen here.

All of Mark Steyn’s articles and podcasts are full of incisive analysis and blazing wit. But his Clubland Q&A installment from June 4th is particularly brilliant, as he covers “a range of topics from the dawn of Pride Season to the death of nations.” Worth a listen (audio only).
It seems that the career of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, otherwise known as Pope Francis, is drawing to a close. Bergoglio has managed to do an excellent imitation of a pope, a sinecure that enabled him to push the woke and Globalist agenda worldwide, these past twelve years. He is a textbook case of infiltrating an organization in order to subvert it.
I will always remember Bergoglio for his impressive 2016 publicity stunt, in which he washed the feet of some Third World savages who were imported into Europe to destroy Western civilization. Well, this neo-Marxist piece of trash will have all of eternity to ponder his complicity in the ongoing stabbing attacks across the continent, not to speak of all the other mayhem. I have a suggestion for his handlers: Before Bergoglio goes to his resting place in the underworld, administer the PCR test to His Holiness. Then it can be announced that “the Pope died of Covid.” What a splendid finale to his illustrious career! Martyrdom to top it all off! When hysterical Leftists claim that President Trump and his associates are seizing power, or engaged in a coup d’état, in a sense they are correct. Over the course of the last century, the Deep State spread its tentacles into every nook and cranny of the Federal apparatus. On January 19, 2025, this entrenched Leftist administrative juggernaut was, for all practical purposes, the government of the United States. The president had become window dressing, a quaint relic of the bygone constitutional republic.
So when Donald Trump & Co. asserted authority over the Executive branch, thinking that the elected president and his appointees are actually in charge of their agencies, they really were trying to overthrow the government. Let us not forget that “our democracy” is a codeword for the Deep State; the function of an election, as in the USSR, is for the People to show their love and affection for the legitimate rulers of the country, not—Lenin forbid—to replace them. How can you replace the true representatives of the People? And thus we have this bizarre coup d’état, where the president is seizing control of the presidency. We need a new word to describe this phenomenon. Autocoup? Retrocoup? Whatever it’s called, Trump really is overturning the established order. This situation produces a host of ludicrous scenes. As I watched one of the signing ceremonies/press conferences, this one featuring Musk, I thought to myself: Trump and Musk are taking a much-deserved victory lap after uncovering the tip of the iceberg of what may be the biggest fraud in the history of man. This is how a normal human being would view it. But the audience in the room is the White House press corps, mostly composed of “journalists” who are essentially propaganda attachés of the Deep State. Musk is taking away their rice bowl. To them, US AID is not subject to the authority of the president, rather it is an independent branch of the government; dismantling it would be akin to abolishing Congress. Trump could expose waste, fraud, and abuse until the cows come home, and the Left wouldn’t care a whit. If a thousand worthless bureaucrats and consultants inside the Beltway each have to pocket a million dollars so that the election of one conservative East European prime minister is nullified, so be it. This is how the U.S. government works. It is absolutely normal, standard operating procedure. And now we have low-level Federal judges ordering President Trump and his Cabinet to keep their hands off the agencies under their purview. This galactic level of chutzpah is the natural outgrowth of the judiciary’s illegal usurpation of power, growing in intensity for decades. Of all the genies that must be stuffed back into the bottle, this is one of the most urgent. I cringed when I heard Trump say, at the aforementioned press conference, that he would obey the judges, and appeal the rulings. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed this policy the following day. Did it ever occur to him that the President of the United States is not obligated to obey an illegal order conjured up in the feverish mind of a Leftist lunatic? If a judge tomorrow rules that Trump cannot speak with world leaders, or that the White House staff must all appear in public with ice cream cones protruding from the top of their heads, would he obey that as well? What is the limit of this farce? The Administration is going to appeal?! Does Trump not realize that in the eyes of the Left, he just surrendered to the authority of the Deep State? Does he not remember that his first administration was neutered in the same manner? This cannot be allowed to stand. Where’s our new Attorney-General Pam Bondi, that supposedly tough-as-nails supergirl? Oh, she’s busy bringing lawsuits against governors and other top officials of states (most recently New York) that are sabotaging the Administration’s enforcement of the law against illegal aliens. What is it with conservatives and lawsuits? For goodness sake, we are dealing here with criminals. Appoint a prosecutor, and slap on the handcuffs. The state officials are clearly engaged in obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting a felony, and the judges are fomenting insurrection. These apparatchiks must be behind bars, pronto. Otherwise, the autocoup may fail, and Trump will have little else to do but attend MAGA rallies and rearrange the furniture in the White House. In summary, I will repeat the words of Curtis Yarvin that I quoted in my post of 1/20/25: “Progressives do not believe in the American system of government, only in power. Conservatives do not believe in power, only in the American system of government. Therefore, progressives always win and conservatives always lose.” Recent headlines have informed a wider audience that Muslim rape gangs are running amok in Britain. This has been known for some time, but it took the power and reach of Elon Musk and others to catapult the issue to prominence.
This sickening chapter in the destruction of old Blighty is not strictly about pedophilia, although the rape and torture victims are very young. Nor is the core issue Muslim degeneracy, although clearly we are witnessing an open display of such. Rather, the crux of the matter is the purposeful importation of primitive Third World tribes as bioweapons to degrade and destroy the native population. The importation of human bioweapons into Europe sprang from the same psychopathic brains that gave us lockdowns, transgender madness, death jabs, and totalitarian measures to “save democracy.” All of these are cut from the same ideological cloth. All are weapons of war. Chaos has been the intent from the outset. Multiculti benetton kumbaya diversity blah blah blah—Fuhgeddaboudit. The results of planting these savages in the middle of England (or France, Germany, Sweden, etc.) are predictable with 100% accuracy. The 1400 years of Islamic history make it crystal clear as to what we could expect. Throw the "South Asian" rapists in prison and throw away the key. But don't blame them for this mess. They're pawns in the game. Muslims are gonna Muslim; a leopard can’t change its spots. Disruptions, often violent, will occur whenever you transplant a distinct and unified group into a culture with significantly different values, beliefs, and behavioral patterns. If your clean and safe Arizona town suddenly receives a huge influx of woke Leftist wealthy white Californians, you will soon be experiencing crime, social disarray, and urban blight. Conversely, if Pakistan suddenly became twenty percent Norwegian, there would be outbreaks of nonviolence, rule of law, personal responsibility, and orderly commerce. There is no mystery in any of this. I lived part of my childhood in London; that was back in the early 1970s. It might as well have been on a different planet. The city was safe and pleasant. I could travel alone or with a friend to any neighborhood, at any time of day, without the slightest fear. I don’t think that young people today could imagine that such a thing were possible. I grieve for the old London, and the rest of Europe, which is teetering on the edge of the precipice. We in America are heading for a similar fate, though possibly not quite as rapidly. But on both sides of the pond, unless there are drastic changes, all roads lead to extinction of European man. If Europe, our homeland, goes under, it will be a catastrophe, and will make it even more difficult for North America to keep its head above water. For decades, the U.S. Deep State has been advancing the woke agenda around the world, including the subversion of efforts to stop “refugees” and “migrants” (i.e., the bioweapons) from pouring into European countries. Presumably, with the incoming Trump Administration, this shameful chapter in American history will come to an end. The American foreign policy and espionage establishment is in love with “color revolution” and regime change. What we need is a new kind of regime change, one that liberates the people from treasonous Leftist leaders who are bent on the annihilation of their own nations. |
