Is it a smorgasbord, a minestrone or a bouillabaisse? Look
at it anyway you want but these are the images that come to mind when you read
the latest installment by Bret Stephens. It is a column that came under the
title: “Is Europe Helpless?” and the subtitle: “A civilization that believes in
nothing will ultimately submit to anything.” It was published on July 26, 2016
in the Wall Street Journal.
The author's point is that Europe
is not doing what it should to protect itself and preserve its civilization.
And so he gives that assembly of nations the standard Jewish advice of looking
to Israel
for guidance. To elaborate on the points he makes – by which he arrives at his
conclusions – he cooks up an assortment of arguments that frankly, would
require the stomach of a bear to digest.
What is not new in his approach is that he says Europe ought to live in fear of the Muslims and remain on
guard at all time. This is steady Jewish diet; a system of managed hysteria; an
approach that the self-appointed leaders of the Jews have used to maintain
control over their followers since the beginning of time. It is also how they
manage to maintain control over the American Congress at this time. And it is
how they brought leaders of other nations under their control till such time
that the public discovered what they were doing and responded by unleashing the
pogroms that chased the Jews away.
As to what is new in his approach; it's that he used the
steady Jewish diet as a foundation upon which to construct an argument that
warns the European countries they are risking the destruction of their
civilization. And that's where things go from bad to worse – where the argument
degenerates from being a smorgasbord of useless ideas to a bouillabaisse of
rotting fish.
His weakness lies in the fact that he wants to believe
civilization is based on identity. From where did he get this idea? It is that
Netanyahu is promising America
there will be instant peace in Palestine if only
President Mahmud Abbas agreed to call Israel a Jewish State. And so,
Netanyahu drummed into the heads of those who run the Jewish propaganda machine
– Stephens among them – that they must believe in the principle of a Jewish
identity that will be born with the recognition of a Jewish state. He wants
them to believe that when this happens, they will all become citizens of a
rising new civilization; one that will grow so powerful, it will conquer the
world.
But is that true? Is civilization based on identity? Or is
it based on a shared vision? Well, America did not come into existence
because there was an American identity that the early pilgrim were eager to be
apart of. It came into existence because people of different identities shared
a single vision; that of religious freedom. When they came together and worked
together to make a living and make life bearable for themselves and their
offspring, a byproduct of their shared vision started to take shape. In time,
that byproduct became the now recognizable American civilization.
It follows that a civilization can be altered by altering
the vision underlying it; or be killed by vanquishing that vision. When you
accept this and you see what Stephens is proposing to “save” the European
civilization, you understand how and why the Jews have been eroding the
American civilization while pretending to enhance it, even save it.
Look what Stephens says about Europe :
“Can the decline be stopped? Yes, but that would require unlearning the
mythologies on which Europe was built: that the Union
is the result of commitment to peace; that there is no such thing as a military
solution; that one's country isn't worth fighting for; that tolerance is the
supreme value”.
As can be seen, all these points have nothing to do with
identity, and everything to do with a shared vision. Thus what the European
Union did was forge for itself a shared vision that now forms the foundation of
its civilization. And this is the foundation that Stephens wants to vanquish in
order to save a civilization he mistakenly believes was originally built on
identity.
