2026 was the Beginning of the End for the Western World

Paul Craig Roberts

2026 was the year that the deterioration in Western civilization became irreversible. In the United States the Republic established by the Founding Fathers had deteriorated into mob democracy, a form of communism, a regime in which 42 million Americans unable or unwilling to provide for themselves voted themselves a livelihood provided by the work force of 170 million, in effect reducing the working population to serfs serving the new privileged class. 

The long years of open borders had filled the United States with millions of illegal immigrant-invaders, who no longer assimilate but establish their own cultural zones and advocate for their own forms of law. The country was transformed into a Tower of Babel in which exists no common purpose. The concept of America as a unified nation ceased to exist as the United States dissolved into multiculturalism. The transformation of the United States was symbolized by the swearing in of New York mayor, an African-born Muslim, Zohran Mamdani on a Quran.

Trump s0ught to unite the United States with acts of military aggression. He attacked Nigeria and Venezuela and kidnapped the Venezuelan president and First Lady. He issued threats of attack to Columbia, Mexico, Cuba, and Iran. Militarism became the basic element of US foreign policy.

Standards essentially disappeared. Integrity was a thing of the past. News reporting became narratives serving monied and powerful interests. The digital revolution produced endless scams, identity thefts, and insecurity of assets and persons. Presidential elections were stolen as in 2020. Conflicts were perpetrated in order to enrich the military security complex and advance Greater Israel. The American middle class continued to shrink. The shrinkage that began with the offshoring of American manufacturing jobs and the importation of foreigners on H-1b work visas accelerated with artificial intelligence and robotics. There were no longer ladders of upward mobility to move illegal aliens and new entrance into the workforce into self-supporting employment...........more..........
