BUCHANAN DECLARES: DEATH OF THE WEST

The New Year is just minutes old and now comes Pat Buchanan to warn: The Death of the West!

In his ultracontroversial book, which will be banned, blocked and burned in many quarters, brave Buchanan contends that the U.S. will be a Third World nation by the year 2050.

The BestSellingAuthorTVHostPresidentialCandidateColumnist predicts Europe will be inundated by an Islamic-Arab-African invasion and most First World nations, including Japan, will have begun slowly to vanish from the earth.

Buchanan is primed and ready for a media blitz behind DEATH OF THE WEST [ranked #492 on AMAZON's hourly sales chart Wednesday morning], set for release from DUNNE.

Buchanan will light the bonfire on NBC's TODAY show this Friday, according to a network source.

But the DRUDGE REPORT can once again bring you the first sneak.

Relying upon the most recent UN population studies, Buchanan declares:

• By 2050, only 10% of the world’s people will be of European descent. One third of Europe’s people will be over 60, and one-in-ten over 80. Involuntary euthanasia has already come to Europe.

• Between now and 2050, Asia, Africa, and Latin America will grow by three to four billion people -- 30 to 40 new Mexicos! -- as Europe will lose the equivalent of the entire population of Germany, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

• By 2050, 23 million Germans will have disappeared along with 16 million Italians and 30 million Russians.

• Russia will lose Siberia and the far east to China and be pushed out of the Caucuses and Central Asia, where Islamic populations are exploding while Russia’s is dying.

• Either Europe must effect a radical cutback in pensions and health care for seniors, or Europe must import scores of millions of Arabs and Africans to care for the elderly and pay the taxes to sustain their welfare states.

• The 4.2 million Palestinians in Israel and on the West Bank and Gaza will explode to 9 million by 2025, and 15 million by 2050, when Palestinians will outnumber Israel’s Jewish population two-to-one.

• America’s “Dual Containment” policy in the Persian Gulf seems unsustainable. In less than 25 years, Iraq will have 42 million people and Iran 94 million people, more than any European nation except Russia.

• The Islamic invasions of Spain and France in the eighth century, and of the Balkans and Central Europe from the 14th to the 17th centuries, will be reenacted in the lifetime of most of those now living. Islam has already surpassed Catholicism as the largest religion on earth.

• It is the Christian nations -- Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox -- that have begun to die. In a chapter titled, “Where Have All the Children Gone?” Buchanan explains why, and why it is unlikely the West can solve the demographic crisis before it leads to The Death of the West.

In his chapter La Reconquista, Buchanan contends that an invasion of the United States is taking place and that America now harbors a “nation within a nation.”

• There are 30 million foreign born in the U.S. today, and between 9 and 11 million illegal aliens, or as many undocumented aliens in the U.S. as there are people in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut.

• Mexico is exporting its poor and unemployed for U.S. taxpayers to employ and educate. Radical and militant Hispanics and Mexican leaders alike believe this will lead to the cultural and demographic recapture of the Southwest from America, reversing the results of The Mexican War.

• By supporting open borders, the GOP is committing suicide. First-time Hispanic voters chose Clinton 15-1 over Dole. Of the seven major immigration states -- Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, Texas and Florida -- Mr. Bush lost five, and perhaps six. Of the 10 states with the smallest share of immigrants, Bush won all 10.

• European-Americans are a minority in America’s most populous state, California, and by 2004, will be a minority in Texas.

• The political agenda of California Hispanics includes race welfare for illegal aliens, racial preferences, bilingual education, open borders, dual citizenship, Cinqo de Mayo as a California holiday, and, in one case, replacing a statue of an American hero of the Mexican War with the Aztec god Quetzacoatl.

• White Americans are fleeing California at the rate of 100,000 a year.

• MeCHA, the student organization that claims chapters on hundreds of campuses has a program that reads like a Mexican version of the agenda of the white-supremacist Aryan Nation.

• In 2001, an Office for Mexicans Abroad in Mexico was providing survival kits with everything from dried meat to anti-diarrhea pills to condoms to Mexicans setting off to break in to the United States .

• As of 2000, there were 8.4 million foreign born in California, as many foreign born as there are people in New Jersey, a primary cause of the state energy and schools crisis.

• Among Third World immigrants, poverty rates and incarceration rates are double and triple what they are among native-born Americans.

Shooting up the flares and waving the flag, Buchanan argues that the 1960s “counter-culture” has become America’s dominant culture, and the iconoclasts of that counter-culture are systematically demolishing America’s history and heritage.

• Under Political Correctness, America’s greatest heroes -- soldiers, explorers and statesmen from Columbus to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson -- are under savage attack as genocidal racists and exploiters of indigenous peoples.

• The history books of American public schools are being rewritten with the old heroes ignored or trashed and Western civilization disparaged and demeaned.

• When Mel Gibson’s film, “The Patriot,” came out in 2000, it was savagely attacked for presenting black Americans as fighting patriots in the Revolutionary War.

• With the assault on Confederate books, symbols, flags, heroes, and holidays almost complete, the attack is now proceeding against the Puritan fathers, soldiers who fought in The Mexican War, and, in New Jersey, even against the Declaration of Independence itself.

• In some school districts, Mark Twain, Flannery O’Connor, and any realistic portrayal of the America South, including Harper’ Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, are now forbidden.

• Even the great museums on America’s Mall, to introduce school children to the greatness and glory of America’s past, are being used to indoctrinate children in how wicked and evil our forefathers were.

In his chapter, “The De-Christianization of America,” Buchanan argues that the death of the Christian faith in Western countries is a primary cause of their dying populations. Whenever faith dies, the people die. A new atheistic civilization is arising, he argues, and is using its dominance of the culture and the courts to drive Christianity out of the temples of our civilization.

• Secular Humanism, widely mocked and disparaged, a few decades ago, is now the dominant faith of the nation’s cultural elites. The moral tenets of humanism are replacing those of Christianity in our public life.

• Even Christian churches are rewriting their hymnals to make them acceptable to the dominant culture.

• Anti-Catholic films and filthy and blasphemous anti-Christian art are the deliberate insults of a triumphant pagan and secularist faith.

The book's publication was delayed after September terror.

I've lived in Mexico and I don't like the way they divide their classes and keep the wages so low for the majority of people ---I don't think it's a good direction for the US to go but it seems that's what we're doing. Only the college educated ---and probably only some of them --because many have little employable skills ---will make it to the elite upper class, the rest will barely scrape by. For a while the welfare programs will make things appear to be better but only while there's still a middle class left to support them. When the middle class is gone ---we're like Mexico.

[UberVernunft]

Look up the etymology of the word "algebra" and the word "zero" along with words like "azimuth" - vitally important concepts in the development of Western science and mathematics. Also take a look at your keyboard and note the lack of Roman numerals on the top row.

No doubt Islamic culture at that time period was quite advanced. Unfortunately that time has long passed.

[garbanzo]

And most of those countries are failures. In fact virtually all of them are. The US allows people to come here, work, save money, start businesses with a relative minimum of hassle. And we are the world's #1 economy - that's no accident.

[garbanzo]

The problem with the middle class (other than confiscatory taxation) is that we come to expect something for nothing. We expect to enter the workforce with a smile and be rewarded with high-paying jobs for doing nothing. This thread is a perfect example - we blame immigrants because native-born people don't want to work hard or save their money or live beneath their means.

[garbanzo]

The point was that Western civilization was open to ideas from outside the West and that's why the West has succeeded. The Chinese had movable type presses, the Muslims had algebra - but they didn't do anything with it in large part because they thought no one else on earth had anything to teach them and they were the center of the world. And both civilizations crashed to the ground.

[FITZ]

Here on the border, we're getting a two-tier society pretty fast. 9-10% college educated and 30% functionally illiterate at this time (17th largest US city), a 38% drop out rate so the illiteracy is likely to grow. Few employees offered health benefits. The middle class is fleeing because the taxes are unreasonably high. That's not just middle class whites but hispanics also.

[RKM]

You've made ~50 posts on this thread.

Do you see a problem with current US immigration enforcement, and if so, what exactly is your solution?

[WRhine]

We simply can't compare the 50s to today without adjusting for other factors - e.g. women in the workplace, Jim Crow, etc.

Regarding women in the workplace, this phenomenon is largely driven by ever-higher taxation. Back in the 50s while marginal federal tax rates were higher, most families had a much lower overall tax burden than is present. Hence as the aggregate level of taxes rose over the decades the two income family unit began to materialize. This trend has gone a long way towards damaging the social fabric of our country. Kids that grow up hardly seeing their parents, particularly their mother has been yet another factor that has spurred a growing under class of people with dimmer prospects of prosperity than their parents had. It’s not supposed to work this way in America.

[Buckeroo]

I think the world of Pat. Some folks don't realize that he has a Phd and is an acknowledged source of good information about the direction of our nation. I place credence in his concepts; after all, I live in California and he was correct about the destruction of the state (although his points have been about the US, in general).

[Joe Hadenuf]

His points have been about the entire nation because thats were its heading.

[FITZ]

I think it's a myth that immigrants work much harder than Americans. Not from what I've seen they don't. They usually have 3 grandmothers die in one year to get extra time off without advance notice, they really aren't more dependable ----they seem quite a bit less dependable than US born and raised anglos, hispanics, and blacks.

[Buckeroo]

Of course. But if you examine Pat's ideas, all along, one of his largest points is about illegal immigration into America. California is swelling with illegal immigrants, now, because our federal government does not take responsibility to enforce the issue in a responsible manner.

Today, in California, we have the concept of Axtlan; that is we are to be annexed by Mexico. Pat was right all along, too; that's why I love the guy: he has the guts to speak out about serious issues that most "professional" politicians ignore. BTW, Pat is not a "professional" politician; he is a scholar as Dr. Alan Keyes.

[WrenchChucker]

Who is going to do the bulk of the heavy lifting that makes America great?

Those who are in school now training as engineers, and many of those who are bound to become inventors. They'll continue to invent and make the machines capable of heavy, precision, repetative, lifting; hopefully at a fraction of the cost of human labor (A good, and well known, 19th century example is Eli Whitney's Cotton Gin). The tidal wave of Union Workers can be felt already but one often forgets that there are always other alternatives(different job; re-education; etc) for a displaced worker.

America either advances technologically or they remain stagnent. I'm hoping for the former, because the latter means we could eventually relapse into some sort of Mad Max world.

You forgot the mention that these great achievements by the Arabic culture, and they were great, were before radical Islam took hold of them and swept them to the dark ages where they remain today. If that had not happened the Middle East would perhaps rival Western Civilization today. This is one of the reasons why I fear all religions when they move to fundamentalist extremes. Anyway, your point is well taken.

That is our future, our good future if America can keep those that would like to debase our culture in every way possible in check. I still feel that we can keep our innovation alive but sometimes I have my doubts as socialism progresses in our country.

[doc]

Amen! Pats attackers call him names and list him as a racist. However they rarely argue his points which are about 90% accurate. Pat is right on when it comes to the overburdening influx of illegal and legal residents. In 92 the liberal media lost it when Pat won the first two primaries. The leftist machine went into high gear to stop Pat by labeling him as a fanatic.

[WrenchChucker]

sometimes I have my doubts as socialism progresses in our country.

Hayek has a good take on the matter. Often, the problems that do surface are conceived because of socialism. And what is the typical knee-jerk Socialist solution? More socialist programs to counter the bad socialist programs. It's sort of like covering all the gang-green up with a band-aid; and also to add, there are socialists lurking in both parties, not just the Redistributionist Left.

Of course, the Naderites get First Place for most Socialists Per Party -- excluding the American Communist Party from the contest... but wait. Would the American Communist Party even want to be in the contest due to their disgust for the competitive nature of contest's?... This one may keep me up tonight....
