They Want to Burn It All Down

Three distinct groups wish to destroy Western society, and they are not opposed to working together to do it.

How does one define “the West”? What makes the West, in general and more specifically the United States, unique and so amazing? Let’s list just a few things that come to mind:

*Freedom from government intrusion

*Freedom of personal and religious expression

*A right to own a firearm

*The opportunity to take risks and benefit from success via relatively low taxation

*Freedom of movement and assembly

Again, it’s challenging to define all the benefits we have as Americans. We can more or less do what we want—or do nothing—and the government should just leave us alone. We can express ourselves to the legal limit of free speech, and the government has no right to interfere with our free expression. When we go shopping, we typically have access to a wide range of high-quality goods at affordable prices. I have traveled around a wee bit, and there is no place to go shopping like in the US. When we visited a certain mall in Vegas, we often saw Asian tourists with suitcases walking around to the various stores. In other countries, you do not have the selection. If you have the price, then you don’t have the quality. In Israel, a Tommy Hilfiger shirt that costs around $40 at a discount mall in the US will run over $130. Shopping in Europe is prohibitive. Americans often don’t realize how fortunate they are. You can drive forever and see parks, lakes, mountains, and forests. You can take some risks and start a business. It might fail, but it might also become a success and a source of enormous wealth. Other Western countries have some similar features to those in the US, but most do not have the right to bear arms, and the governments are far more intrusive, as in England, where one can go to the pokey for wrong speak on Facebook.

So, who would be opposed to the American Way? There are three general groups:

*Muslims

*Lefties

*Globalists/World Economic Forum (WEF) types.

Let’s look at all three.

Muslims have come in much larger numbers to the US in recent decades. Many are not shy in saying that they want the US—and all Western countries—to become Sharia states. They don’t like the inherent freedoms of the US, and would wish that all Americans either become Muslims or fall into line as per Islamic law. That is a big difference between Islam and Judaism. Jewish laws are plentiful and detailed, but nowhere do they tell non-Jews how to live. Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups have become turbocharged with Qatari cash. We thus see protests against Jews, Israel, and the West like we have never seen before. The ultimate goal is to turn England into Pakistan and the US into Syria. Those who have come to the West enjoy the material benefits but fail to connect the dots on why the US has beautiful malls and copious interstates, and Iraq does not. Western thinking, values, religious underpinnings, and teachings created the juggernaut of freedoms and economic success. The Muslims clamoring for Sharia do not want their home countries to become better; they want their adopted countries to become dumps like the ones from which they came. A Christian West could create the universities that in the past churned out inventions, philosophy, and medicines. Today, Muslim students at those same schools demand that they change to become like Birzeit University.

Along with the Muslims are their lefty friends. It is a very funny thing to see self-proclaimed communists or socialists with American iPhones, Ralph Lauren shirts, Ford electric cars, and Nike shoes. These individuals enjoy all the benefits of capitalism, yet they demand its destruction in favor of alternatives that have been tried and have failed over the past century. It’s easy for Bernie Sanders to be a “Democratic Socialist” when he has three homes and millions in the market. Whereas the Muslims pine for an Islamic caliphate, those on the left seek chaos. They somehow expect nationalizations and lots of free stuff to usher in a better economy than the one we have had for the past few decades. They rail against billionaires, but most billionaires—whether you like them or not—have made products and/or services that the world wants. Steve Jobs produced amazing electronic devices, while Jeff Bezos revolutionized the way we shop. Generally, for every billionaire, there are thousands of millionaires in the corporate system, and possibly hundreds of thousands of people who work directly or indirectly for the companies set up by these supposed robber barons. There is a street here in Jerusalem where every store sells and fixes electronic devices. Without Apple, Microsoft, and Samsung, they would be pizzerias and delis.

The final group of destroyers of our norms is the Bill Gates/George Soros type. While many billionaires seem content to enjoy their wealth and do good for others, some believe that their brains and money entitle them to a role in dictating our lives. Whereas Michael Dell (net worth $125 billion) is rarely in the news except if he is doing something with his company, Gates is in the news for all of the wrong reasons:

*He wishes to control our lives via the vaccines in which he is heavily invested.

*He wishes to control our lives via the food we eat by replacing meat with bugs and covering food with his Apeel chemical.

*He wishes to control our lives via the weather, as he is pushing for filtering of the sun to reduce sunlight reaching Earth. What could possibly go wrong?

*He wishes to control our lives via the WHO, for whom he is a major donor. He is associated with discussions of reducing the number of humans on the planet.

Bill Gates could sit back and enjoy his enormous wealth. But he and his WEF clique somehow have appointed themselves as humanity’s guardians. Under the guise of creating a better world, they aim to transform the one we have known for the past six decades. They all favor online monitoring of “disinformation” to prevent us from expressing ourselves or challenging their narratives. They want to control our energy use and our means of transportation. Nobody voted for them, but they feel that they have every right to interfere in virtually every aspect of our lives. Remember when Apple put an unwanted U2 album on every device on the planet? That is their approach: we know better than you and will tell you what you can eat, where you can go, and how you will get there, as well as what to do with the digital currency that we can control. In England, a man went to the bank to withdraw £ 2,500 of his own money to buy a motorcycle. The teller insisted on seeing a contract BEFORE GIVING HIM HIS OWN MONEY.

These three groups can work together, as we have seen lefties and Muslims inciting chaos against Jews, Israel, and the West. Putting a keffiyeh on a statue of Ben Franklin and defacing a California war memorial were warnings to the US. The WEF crowd would be a joke over their climate concerns as they all fly into Davos on private planes. They use pseudoscience to make you give up your car, air conditioner, body, and freedom. We were given our freedoms and opportunities. We will have to fight to keep them when so many want them gone. And we didn't even discuss China's goal of eclipsing the US...
