SKYROCKETING THIRD WORLD POPULATIONS

COLLAPSING BIRTH RATES IN THE WESTERN WORLD

A CULTURAL WAR DESTROYING AMERICA’S FREEDOM AND HERITAGE

What The Death of the West foretells is astonishing:

– Not a single European country – save Moslem Albania – has a birth rate that will enable it to survive in its present form through this century. By 2050, only one-tenth of the world’s people will be of European descent, and it will be the oldest tenth on Earth, with a media age of almost fifty.

– Russia, already in a terminal population crisis, will, by 2050, be driven out of Central Asia by Islamic invaders and lose huge slices of Siberia and her Far East to a China fifteen times as populous.

– There are 30 million foreign-born in the United States today, and between 9 and 11 million illegal aliens – as many illegals as there are people in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut combined.

– America is losing the cultural war. Militant paganism is crowding out the old Faiths. Separatism is triumphing over integration. The melting pot has become a salad bowl. And the impact upon American society, politics, and culture will be devastating.

In an even-handed, thoughtful tone, Patrick J. Buchanan documents the sea Changes that have already bdgun to take place in our society.

The Death of the West is a timely, provocative book that asks a question that quietly troubles millions: Is the America we grew up in gone forever?

Front Flap:

Collapsing birth rates in Europe and the United States, coupled with population explosions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, are set to cause cataclysmic shifts in world power, as unchecked immigration swamps and polarizes every Western society and nation.

Drawing on U.N. population projections, recent U.S. census figures, and expert policy studies, prominent conservative Pat Buchanan takes a cold, hard look at the future decay of Europe and America and the decline of Western Culture. In The Death of the West, Buchanan contends that the United States now harbors a “nation within a nation”, that Europe will be inundated by an Islamic-Arab-African invasion, and that most First World nations, including Japan, have begun slowly to vanish from the earth.

And aside from a rapidly aging population, Buchanan argues that the counterculture of the 1960s has now become America’s dominant ethos and is systematically demolishing America’s history and heritage.

Bold, powerful, and persuasive, The Death of the West details how a civilization, Culture, and moral order are passing away and foresees a new world that has terrifying implications for our freedom, our faith, and the preeminence of American democracy.

För Stockholm och för Sverige!

SDUs vice ordförande och ledamoten av Stockholms stadsfullmäktige (som jag fortfarande alltid råkar säga, men också vill säga, trots att det för länge sedan bytte namn till kommunfullmäktige), William Hahne, kandiderar till posten som ordförande för SD Stockholms stad:

“Stockholm är Sveriges i särklass största stad och även landets ekonomiska, mediala och politiska centrum. Tyvärr är det också ett av de områden där Sverigedemokraterna är som allra svagast i hela landet. SD fick bara 5,16 procent i Stockholms kommun i valet 2014. Sverigedemokraterna har varit osynliga i Stockholm och trots att det finns god potential att växa sig starka i en stad med så stora mångkulturella problem har man misslyckats med att profilera partiet och kanalisera stockholmarnas missnöje. Det är dags att sätta Sverigedemokraterna på kartan i Stockholm. Jag har visionerna, viljan och förmågan att göra det.”   Läs mer

Guy Arnold: America and Britain

Was There Ever a Special Relationship?

Oxford University Press, 2014

Description:

ArnoldBritain’s political and military elite has for decades nurtured the idea that enduring ties bind the interests of London and Washington, in good times and bad. Irrespective of the end of the Cold War, the 9/11 attacks and the economic rise of the East, these links are allegedly impregnable. But how accurate a picture is this? Are the British engaged in a monumental act of self-delusion?

Guy Arnold investigates the “American disease” at the heart of Whitehall, which, he argues, has tied British policies too closely to those of Washington. The “special relationship” became a Foreign Office priority and gave Britain the illusion of power it no longer enjoyed. As Churchill put it acidly, “the British and the Americans were stuck with each other – a junior partner and a senior partner respectively”. For the Americans it provided a way of keeping Britain “on side” but in return Washington accelerated Britain’s imperial decline.

The Americans always saw Britain in Europe as a Trojan Horse to safeguard their interests and as a military outpost for their global ambitions. They derided or ignored the “special relationship”, even in their dealings with Thatcher and Blair, and latterly the Foreign Office has failed to convince President Obama of its unique importance.

Reviews:

“While the perceived loss of British sovereignty in the European Union creates violent debate, an unacknowledged transfer of power across the Atlantic is overlooked in silence. Guy Arnold meticulously unpicks an unequal special relationship for which the political establishment offers no referendum.”  Richard Bourne, Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Commonwealth Studies and Secretary, Ramphal Institute, London

“The message of Guy Arnold’s new book is that the world stands on the brink of a totally new political order. Nothing less. After lingering decades beyond its time the Anglo-American partnership, he says, must be forgotten. Arnold skillfully weaves his way through the complex relationships between today’s big powers to the point where China is coming centre stage and India is not far behind.”  Derek Ingram, journalist and Commonwealth expert

“Guy Arnold amazes me, as a fellow author, by the range of books he undertakes. From cheery critiques of boys historical adventure novels, he wades into modern day controversy immigration, for instance and brings fresh light into the complexities of post-colonial Africa. Now he examines a building-block of this last century usually ignored or dismissed: the special relationship that Churchill and Roosevelt forged between Britain and the United States. Not a club like Europe, nor an association based mostly on history or language, like the Commonwealth, what is its magic? Will the strains over Syria and Iraq damage it (as Suez did), the new magnetism of China or Brazil tug it apart? As usual, this prolific author and lecturer produces his own lively views.”  Clyde Sanger, journalist and international affairs expert

“In this provocative little polemic…the case Arnold makes is one that every British government in modern times has recoiled from answering with the seriousness it deserves…A robust study.”  Max Hastings, The Sunday Times

“[T]his history of efforts by postwar British leaders to offset their country’s decline by cozying up to the United States is quite readable, policy relevant, and…provocative.”  Foreign Affairs

Author Information:

Guy Arnold is a freelance writer specialising in international affairs with particular emphasis on Africa, and the author of some fifty books, including Africa: A Modern History 1960-2005.

Charles Robin: La gauche du capital

Libéralisme culturel et idéologie du marché

Krisis, 2014     Amazon.fr

RobinÀ la suite de Jean-Claude Michéa, l’auteur, qui a milité dans le passé au Nouveau parti anticapitaliste (NPA), invite à remonter aux sources du projet libéral afin d’en saisir la genèse intellectuelle. Il montre en quoi l’individualisme économique qui définit le modèle anthropologique de la droite rejoint une conception de l’individu dont le cadre d’épanouissement serait fourni par la société “plurielle” et “progressiste” tant célébrée par la gauche et l’extrême gauche. Il explique du même coup pourquoi la gauche privilégie désormais le “sociétal” au détriment du social, sans souci des catastrophes engendrées dans les classes populaires par l’application forcenée des principes du Marché. Olivier Besancenot et Laurence Parisot, même combat! 

Seule la prise en compte de ces deux “faces” du libéralisme permet de saisir le rôle essentiel du discours culturel de la gauche dans le processus de domination capitaliste marchand.

Biographie:

Charles Robin est né en 1986 à Béziers. Il suit des études de philosophie à l’Université Paul Valéry de Montpellier, dont il sort diplômé d’un master en 2012.

En 2011, il rédige un mémoire universitaire sur le thème des critiques du libéralisme contemporain, mémoire qu’il publie l’année suivante sous le titre Le Libéralisme comme volonté et comme représentation.

Depuis, Charles Robin intervient régulièrement dans les colonnes de plusieurs revues, notamment Rébellion, Eléments et Perspectives libres. Ses articles portent sur l’analyse des processus socio-économiques liés au déploiement de la logique libérale, ainsi que sur leurs critiques. Ces textes constituent la matière de son deuxième essai, Penser le libéralisme, paru en 2013.

Il se rapproche de Dany-Robert Dufour, Serge Latouche et Jean-Pierre Lebrun, qu’il invite à Montpellier en mars 2013 dans le cadre d’une journée d’études autour du thème “Crise du capitalisme ou crise du sens?”.

Fin 2013, il signe un article consacré à la pensée du philosophe Jean-Claude Michéa, qui paraît dans l’ouvrage collectif Radicalité – 20 penseurs vraiment critiques, publié aux éditions L’échappée. Cet article sera finalement réédité sous forme indépendante en janvier 2014 sous le titre ‘Michéa: une synthèse philosophique’.

Il fait la rencontre d’Alain de Benoist, qui lui propose de publier ses essais – jusqu’alors auto-édités – par l’intermédiaire de sa maison d’édition Krisis. En octobre 2014 sort ainsi La gauche du capital, ouvrage de compilation de tous ses textes.

Charles Robin est également enseignant en français et en philosophie, et travaille actuellement à la création d’une école populaire autonome à Béziers.
