Ayaan Hirsi Ali has just stated that, as a consequence of the Iran war, she expects a new wave of fanatical Muslims in Europe.

Muslims need not fear any resistance from the European governments and their overlords among the bureaucrats in Brussels. The European elites long ago decided that the Islamic invasion is a useful tool in their endeavours to undermine the nation-states – an endeavour that has borne fruit for well over 50 years.

The Muslim takeover has now been going on for so long that Europeans have begun to perceive the invasion as a natural condition that one can do nothing about – no more than one can prevent summer from giving way to winter. This time, however, it is not a matter of the passage of the seasons, but of our journey into an eternal winter darkness.

Those in power cannot be unaware of what awaits us (Ayaan Hirsi Ali is not), but just like France’s rulers before the revolution of 1789 they choose to say: After us, the deluge. Let us bask in power and privileges for as long as we can. Let us enjoy our status as sought-after benefactors who receive laudatory coverage in the system’s media. The future does not interest us, and we have people to fill good-natured citizens with nursery tales about the blessings of “multiculturalism”.

All the while as the national community is undermined and the patriotic minority is persecuted and subjected to hatred, we see in these days that people nevertheless have a need for community – for something to belong to.

That is why we are witnessing mass demonstrations in the USA and London, where hundreds of thousands march under strange slogans such as “No Kings”. Few of the demonstrators have noticed that Donald Trump would have prevented them from demonstrating if he truly were an absolute monarch.

The characteristic feature of these mass marches is that they have no common focus. They are gatherings of communists, Jew-haters, sex fanatics, Muslims, and pensioners who have nothing else to spend the day on and would benefit from a walk. Yet they all feel the same warmth seize their hearts, and when they are finished demonstrating, they return home in the awareness of having accomplished something significant.

People want community, and if politicians and the EU prohibit it from becoming a national community, they choose others – if nothing else, then the most absurd and destructive.
