“Welcome to Hell.”
Or, in this case, Hamburg, Germany.
That nation’s second largest city will be the site of the G20 summit meetings
starting Friday, July 7th, the biggest international meeting it has
ever hosted. Anti-capitalist activists and anarchists are threatening to stage
potentially violent “Welcome to Hell” protests during the meeting between U.S.
President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, China’s President Xi
JinPing, and other world leaders. Police have already used water cannon and
pepper spray to clear out an unauthorized protest camp, resulting in five
people being injured, while stoking fears of more clashes to follow. As many as
100,000 demonstrators are expected to vex the city prior to- and during- the
important international conference. The city has deployed 20,000 police officers
around event sites, and they are equipped with riot gear, armored vehicles,
helicopters and surveillance drones.
[Update as of 9 p.m. Eastern Time, July
7th: Rioters have looted shops, set fires in the streets, and hurled
projectiles- including looted bottles of champagne- at police, 197 of whom have been injured since
Thursday, July 6th].
“USA! USA! USA!”
The chant rang out from the Polish
crowd attending President Trump’s speech in Warsaw on Wednesday, July 5th,
at a wreath-laying ceremony in Krasinski Square. Later, during the President’s
prepared remarks, the enthusiastic crowd chanted “Donald Trump! Donald Trump!”
Trump responded, “Thank you so much. A great honor.”
Trump said the U.S. is determined
to honor NATO’s Article 5, the mutual defense pact, while thanking Poland for
being one of the few NATO members to fully honor its financial commitment to
the alliance. He also announced that the eastern European country will purchase
the PATRIOT Air Defense Missile System that the Obama administration cancelled
in a misguided attempt to appease Russia.
The President went on to state:
“The story of Poland is the story of a people who have never lost hope, who
have never been broken and who have never ever forgotten who they are.”
A particularly poignant message at
this moment in history, a moment where the West must decide if it will defend
itself, its borders, language and culture, or simply slowly cease to be.
The scene in Hamburg offers a shockingly stark
contrast to the one in Warsaw, the more so for being simultaneously juxtaposed across
the European Continent. The pathetic nihilism of Western Europe appears even
more repulsive against the faith and zeal of Poland, a country that has
routinely been invaded by its neighbors on both sides, east and west. Poland
suffered from each of the twin tyrannies of fascism and communism, and
experienced the savage brutality and unspeakable evils of both forms of
omnipotent government. The Polish people will do whatever is required to avoid
being subjugated again. (Ergo, they are funding their own defense, including
purchasing the PATRIOT Missile System).
Ironically, it is still okay to
tell “Polish jokes,” but it is forbidden to poke fun at either leftists or
Muslims. The West, including the United States, has been seized by a kind of
cultural dementia, and is more interested in transgender bathrooms and the
possible effect of plastic straws on turtle snouts than it is in defending
itself against existential threats. It is blithely sowing the seeds of its own
destruction, in every imaginable way. Societies always get soft after getting
wealthy, and ours are no different in that regard. The only way to avoid the
yawning abyss of permanent decline- and eventual disappearance- is to stand and
fight those on the left that are pushing us towards the black hole of history.
No matter what.
Only then will we be able to defend
ourselves against any-and all- external enemies.
President Trump put it exactly
right in his historic- and courageous- Warsaw speech when he said: “The
fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive.”
If left to the elites and the
media, the answer will be a resounding “no.” They will sacrifice Western
culture, and all the advances it has brought to the world, on the altar of multicultural
purity.
So, people of Europe
and the Americas, what will it be?
Your answer starts now, whether you know it or
not.
