A Slow Motion Train Wreck-Watching the end of Western civilization unfold
Frontnpagemagazine ^ | April 13, 2016 | Phyllis Chesler

Posted on 04/13/2016 4:28:46 AM PDT by SJackson

Reprinted from IsraelNationalNews.com.

The four horsemen ride again; no, the bloody beast is back, slouching its' way towards Bethlehem; no, it is an ancient genie unbound and its’ foul breath smells of more and more blood and human anguish as it grows ever-closer.

Yesterday, I screened a superb film about terrorism and anti-Semitism: "Watching the Moon at Night." It is written and directed by two Swedes: Joanna Helander and Bo Persson. We see, on camera, the late, great Robert Wistrich and Andre Glucksman—and Walter Laqueur, Anthony Julius, Vladimir Bukovsky, Zuhdi Jasser, Ramin Jahanbegloo, Hannah Rosenthal—and Dan Alon, one of the Israeli athletes who survived the Palestinian massacre in Munich in 1972.

We see and hear from the victims of terrorism, those who survived an attack, those who lost loved ones, and we see scenes of carnage in Algeria, Spain, Jerusalem (not identified as Israel in the press materials), New York, Russia, Northern Ireland, Colombia, Norway. We are lulled by the words of Polish Nobel laureate Wislawa Symborska and by bewitching cinematography.

My great good friend Richard Landes has come to visit. He tells me that these Swedish filmmakers have been censored in their own country. (I have had no time to check this out but will do so).

.

Then, he describes our lives, specifically his and mine: "We are watching a slow motion train wreck and we can do nothing to stop it."

"Ah, Richard," I say, "The train is gathering speed even as we speak.”

"Where have we gone wrong? Why didn't they listen to us?" Richard asks.

"Shall we consult Isaiah or Jeremiah on this? Far greater prophets than we two have not been heeded."

"But why don't those who care about Israel and Judaism and Western Civilization listen? Why do they always tell me that I should be doing something else, something that I know is beside the point, something that will make no difference?"

"Richard, those who are on our side are as blind and as arrogant as our opponents are. Ignorance, smallness of vision surrounds us. That is our challenge, our dilemma, our task, possibly our downfall."

I've been writing about what was to come from the moment the two Israeli reservists were lynched in Ramallah in 2000. I saw the handwriting on the sky long before 9/11.

Actually, I've been fighting for Israel since the early 1970's. Back then, I knew that the UN-led scapegoating would lead to something far, far worse--but I did not foresee the end of Western Civilization--and by its own multi-culturally relativist hand. That took a decade. I said so but was not heeded in 1980; Richard said so too, but was not heeded in 1990.

Richard was all over the Al-Dura Blood Libel because he understood that cognitive warfare was fully upon us--and as he says, "Just because an idea is wrong does not make it inconsequential." (I am paraphrasing him here).

The wrong idea is that of Islamic supremacism, Islamic Jihad, radicalized, apocalyptic Islam.

We two are not funded to work on this or on the true meaning and nature of rising anti-Semitism. Others are; some are worthy, most are treading water as fast as they can.

"So-and-so would not fund me because, I was told, he did not much like women."

Richard, tall and male, tells me: "He would not fund me either. He just said: "Nah, I'm not gonna do this."

Back to the drawing

My theory is the Godless, the atheists, Left, have their climate-control religion and their self-brain-worship as their religion...it speaks nothing of evil, in fact, it allows blame (their form of worship) and hate to anyone who will not believe the way they do. Prince Charles, Merkle, Hollyweird, self-loathing-Jews-in-name-only, S0ros, 0bama, all fall into this category. It is a death cult that preys on the least of these...of course, including abortion.

This may sound convoluted and crazy; but I think I know what you mean...these disparate parts, err, ingredients in their “evil how to live model” are related. They are in a great big cult and they look at us and call us the evil ones.

Which of these pitiful, poor Moslem orphans...?

It really doesn't matter which one will eventually be the actual terrorist. All of them are part of a system which breeds such actions. Most of them will cheer when "infidels" are slaughtered. It is part of their culture, part of their religion.

Only a sick society could welcome such people into their midst.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

NOTE: The FIRST thing God’s people must do, as indicated in this verse, is WHAT?

It’s NOT “pray.”

It’s “HUMBLE THEMSELVES....”

Ah, here is our Achilles heel - this is the one thing most will not do.........

We conveniently leave that out and focus on “pray”, “seek My face” and “turn from their wicked ways.”

Sadly, the last 3 cannot really occur without the first - occurring first........

The current (”refugee”) invasion into western civilizations, by the greatest anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective in the history of the planet, has been facilitated by the executive branch of the government of The United States of America. Al-hijra, ISIS immigration jihad continues apace. These religious totalitarians are aided and abetted by secular totalitarians of many countries. Border-elimination Open Society operative “George Soros Warns Europe: Absorb 500k Refugees Costing $34Bn, Or Risk Existential Threat”

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-12/george-soros-warns-europe-absorb-500k-refugees-costing-34bn-or-risk-existential-thre

$oro$ funds many of the secular totalitarian collectives and campaigns in the U.S.A. He and they wash their hands in the blood of innocent victims of Paris, Mosul, Brussels, Molenbeek, San Bernadino, etc., etc., etc.

Death and plunder have been the calling cards of socialists/totalitarians/criminals throughout history.

If the supreme power were lodged in any one of the three branches separately, we must then be exposed to all the inconveniences of absolute monarchy, aristocracy, or democracy;

for if ever it should happen that the independence of any one of the three should be lost, or that it should become subservient to the views of the other two, there would soon be an end of our constitution.

If this big lie is permitted, the truth must not be forbidden.

When you see what Europe is becoming day by day, it makes Trump’s comments about NATO all the more forceful. So we are spending a ton of money, disproportionately more than European member countries, for what? To give some generals European vacations and protect Europe from a Soviet tank invasion? As Europe is busy spending its money as a social welfare agency to the Islamic third world? The center cannot hold.

Those of us who understand what’s happening have spoken up, and were ignored. Savages are streaming in to once-civilized countries and are transforming them into savage hellholes. The politicians know what’s happening, and fully accept it, because they know the savages will become the latest solid voting and donating block.

The idiots keep asking the wrong question.
We should not give a damn whether or not these people hate us. We should just to make certain that they are absolutely terrified of us.

And the only way to do that is by killing them, a whole lot of them, until they beg us to stop......it is them or us.
