Europe’s nation-states are losing faith in themselves and are sinking into a polarised factional struggle. Europe’s continued existence is at stake, and a civil war is likely within a few years.
This was asserted at a conference in the European Parliament, and it is an open question whether there will be a Europe in 50 years, according to the speakers.
The conference Civil War: Europe in Danger?, which was led by the French right-wing figure Marion Maréchal – granddaughter of Front National founder Jean-Marie Le Pen – and the Sweden Democrats’ Member of the European Parliament, Charlie Weimers, launched a new report on the now widespread phenomenon of “no-go zones”, writes Breitbart News.
Maréchal opened the conference by reflecting that previously peaceful and stable societies are “rapidly being transformed before our eyes into societies marked by violence and mistrust”, and stated that “the most important foundation of trust between citizens is cultural homogeneity.” This is now rapidly disappearing.
Europe is already under considerable pressure from “diffuse guerrilla activity”, she said, mentioning “riots, looting, random attacks, anti-white racism and terrorist attacks”.
Weimers shares the same view of the situation, and is particularly critical of mass immigration.
“Western democracies that were once relatively homogeneous societies have become deeply fragmented. Newcomers often have little in common with the original population. Even more alarming is that many have no intention of assimilating.”
Thus the West’s self-confidence, prosperity and competence are being undermined, something that is also evident in the United Kingdom, which many believe is approaching complete collapse.
One of the speakers was Professor David Betz at King’s College London, whom Document has covered several times.
He was very direct in his statements during the meeting, and reiterated what he has said for a long time: “Europe is heading towards civil war”.
… we are heading towards a peasant revolt. A conservative revolt in which the governed seek to punish their rulers for having broken their obligations under the social contract, and for having changed the rules of the game against their will.
It will resemble something like Italy’s “Years of Lead”, the “dirty wars” in Latin America, or perhaps “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland, but on a larger scale.
What is already a guarded society will become a radically more fortified society as elites seek greater protection with more walls, guards and surveillance. It will be bloody … the Balkanisation of British society along ethnic lines [is under way].
He also mentioned what is taking place in already ethnic enclaves such as Tower Hamlets in London and Sparkhill in Birmingham. Betz considers it a real possibility that a European civil war could break out in the United Kingdom.
Betz is not alone in such predictions. Richard Kemp, a retired colonel in the British Army, also predicts civil war within a few years. The Telegraph writer Tim Stanley also fears a civil war, with a focus on the United Kingdom.
I now fear that the United Kingdom is heading towards an open sectarian conflict, possibly war, and that there is nothing we can do to stop it.
Several of the participants at the conference noted that it is an open question whether the European peoples will survive both the migration pressure in the first instance and the predicted civil war that is assumed to follow. Professor Betz, for example, pointed out how history is full of great empires that simply disappeared.
Where does Balkanisation lead us? … it leads to the annihilation of the United Kingdom in the sense of a coherent cultural unit dominated by people who genuinely share the common identity of “British”… it leads to large-scale and widespread civil war … it is entirely possible that the British end up like the Canaanites or the Arcadians, a people of historical interest, with monuments visible here and there in a kind of ruin, of interest to archaeologists and historians.
Betz believes that this is a very real alternative that lies ahead of us in the near future.
Will there be a Europe in 50 years?
Weimers posed the question directly: “Where will Europe be in 50 years? Will there be a Europe in 50 years?”
Professor Betz believes that mass immigration will transform Europe into something resembling Sarajevo during the civil war in the former Yugoslavia.
…[this would be] the siege of urban areas, but with a few 21st-century twists. In many ways it will resemble the siege of Sarajevo, but to a much greater extent dominated by paramilitary actors using tactics to disrupt systems.
The solution is to force non-natives to leave Europe, preferably by a form of economic warfare against immigrants who are unable to support themselves, Betz suggested. He is thus arguing for large-scale remigration.
Breitbart London reported earlier this week on the new report that was published during the conference on the increasingly pressing problem of so-called no-go zones.
The report examined public figures on crime rates, sexual violence, youth gangs, unemployment, the proportion completing schooling, antisemitism, homophobia, the number of mosques, attacks on firefighters and the presence of various organisations acting as activists for unlimited immigration.
Based on these parameters, the report stated that it had identified up to one thousand no-go zones. The bells are tolling, as the poet John Donne wrote in the poem For Whom the Bell Tolls:
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend’s were.Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
