Internationally-renowned social commentator and author Mark Steyn1 issued this ominous warning in his bestseller, America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It: Much of what we loosely call the Western world will not survive the twenty-first century, and much of it will effectively disappear within our lifetimes, including many if not most European countries.2 These dramatic words give pause for thought. Is it really that serious? I am certain it is. In this book, I present a great deal of research material to show you how I have arrived at this frightening conclusion. I hope you too will arrive at a similar conclusion, not to scare you, but perhaps to take you out of your comfort zone and motivate you to do something about it. This book traces the decline of Western civilization, and the West generally, from the early twentieth century until the present. It will present research and data from a variety of sources to support Mark Steyn’s chilling warning. It sets out to trace the history of events leading up to this parlous state of affairs and offers some prescriptions to deal with the crisis. While Mr. Steyn is concerned mainly with the Islamist threat, this book takes a wide-ranging look at the multitude of threats facing the West and Western civilization. In my opinion, the majority of these threats are exacerbated by what I call the assault on the Western mind. I am a firm believer in the concepts and institutions that make up what we call Western culture and Western civilization: free speech, parliamentary democracy, the rule of law, property rights and the free market. However, for the past 80 years or so, all of these institutions have been under attack by implacable foes, starting with the Soviets, then various Marxist and anti-capitalist groups together with what the Islamists call “the grand jihad against the West.” 5 KENNETH SCHULTZ This relentless assault, starting from Stalin’s Soviet Union and carried forward by various players for nearly a century has resulted in a weary and dispirited population which has lost confidence in its great civilization. As well as the very real threats to our culture, this book also explores the threats to the West from an increasingly aggressive China, from rogue states, from financial collapse and from a catastrophic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event, both man-made and natural. In my opinion, and the opinions of many commentators, some of these threats, if not taken seriously and dealt with accordingly, will usher in the end of the freedoms and lifestyles enjoyed by the citizens of many Western countries, and ultimately the end of Western civilization. Although there are numerous citations in the footnotes to support the material presented, this book does not purport to be an academic tome. It is aimed at a general readership – people who are concerned about where Western society is heading. If you are concerned about the gradual erosion of free speech under the guise of promoting “cultural diversity” or protecting “religions,” this book is for you. If you are becoming concerned at the gradual Islamization of your country, this book is for you. If you are an older person who remembers a kinder, gentler, more tolerant society where you could speak freely without fear of being branded a “racist,” “bigot,” “homophobe” or “Islamophobe,” this book is for you. If you are concerned about the escalating levels of violence and terrorism in your country, this book is for you. If you are a young person tired of being force-fed a diet of Marxist thought at school and university, this book is for you. It is not necessary to read the book in sequence from cover to cover. Most chapters are stand-alone, thus allowing you to pick the chapters of interest to you. This book, however, is not just about doom and gloom. It offers some serious and practical steps to save our great civilization. There have been many previous great empires and civilizations in the history of this planet. All have disappeared. If remedies similar to those prescribed in this book are not undertaken, then history students in a thousand years will ask (in a language unintelligible to 6 WESTERN CIVILIZATION UNDER SIEGE today’s English-speaking person), “How could such a great civilization just disappear?” We have been subjected to not an immediate crisis, but just a slow, unceasing ratchet effect. We live in dangerous times. We have reached the stage where each country must act decisively or join most of the rest of the Western world in terminal decline. The book cover Under the sub-heading, The Assault on the Western Mind is a montage of faces representing what I consider to be eight of the most important players in reshaping and undermining the culture and philosophy of Western civilization. Clockwise from bottom left are: Xi Jinping – President of the People’s Republic of China and General Secretary of the Communist Party of China. As well as flexing its military muscles with its neighbors, China is using soft-power to influence Western thought. As of 2014, it had set up “Confucius Institutes’ on 465 university campuses in 123 countries, to spread Chinese propaganda. Yusuf al-Qaradawi – spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, a Muslim group intent on waging jihad against the West by infiltrating Western institutions and spreading Islamic propaganda. George Soros – Using his massive wealth, Soros is the founder and financier of numerous left-wing activist groups that are influencing public opinion around the world, pushing Soros’ anti-capitalist, anti-American, world- government agenda. Antonio Gramsci - Gramsci declared that Christianity had corrupted the working class and the West would have to be de-Christianised by a “long march through the culture” – starting with the traditional family and completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organisations, literature, science, and the presentation (and revision) of history Darren Walker – President of the Ford Foundation, an activist group that doles out over $500 million annually to mostly left-wing groups. Walker is representative of the cashed-up left-wing activist groups that have a massively deleterious effect on Western thinking. Although political correctness has been around for decades, the likes of Soros, the Ford Foundation and a collection of other wealthy left-wing groups have elevated it to a sinister level, with the consequent erosion of free speech. 7 KENNETH SCHULTZ Joseph
