Collapse of Western Civilization—Why It’s Accelerating Now

Interview with Doug Casey.

Excerpt:

Let me list a few things that are basically—indeed almost entirely—unique to Western Civ. Some other cultures have adopted elements of them and have prospered as a result. But it’s often just a veneer. If the West falls as a culture, as a civilization, most other parts of the world will likely degenerate radically.

  • Free thought. Free thinkers are unique to the West. They’re being overwhelmed by political correctness and fear of thought crimes.
  • Free speech. Everywhere in the West, the language is being corrupted. There are notions and even words that you dare not utter for fear of being prosecuted and jailed.
  • Free markets. Free markets allow free thinkers, inventors, businessmen and industrialists to put their thoughts into practice, to the benefit of all. But the public fears them and wants more regulation and protections.
  • Limited government. Everywhere, the hoi polloi are clamoring for more government, bigger government, socialism, and even communism.
  • Individualism. Every other culture in the world has tried to quash this essential aspect of the West. It’s being replaced by identity politics wherein you are no more than a member of a group.
  • Rationality. It’s said that this is a white vice. Science and logic are thought to be destroying the world. They’re being replaced by superstition.
  • Liberty. This concept wouldn’t even exist without the West. It’s now seen as a danger where we need to hide in Safe Spaces.
  • Concept of progress. Many now prefer a static society where everybody is maintained by a guaranteed annual income. Progress is dangerous because it leads to inequality where some are left behind.
  • Privacy. In the primitive pre-Western world, everyone knew what everyone else was doing. We’re reverting to that with omnipresent Flock cameras and the surveillance state.
  • Property rights. They’re being replaced by the concept of “You’ll own nothing and be happy.”
  • Rule of Law. In other societies, law was what the king, the emperor, or the sultan said it was. Justice is being washed away in the West, delegitimized by millions of Kafkaesque laws and regulations.
  • Industry and enterprise. People have been taught to hate these Western virtues, thinking that they endanger Mother Earth and lead to inequality. Entrepreneurs are to be feared. Everybody should become an employee.

How Green Billionaires Convinced the World to Build Thousands of Useless Windmills: Final Extract From Chris Morrison’s New Book on the Invented ‘Climate Crisis’

Article by Chris Morrison.

Excerpt:

In a recent paper co-authored with Dr Lee Moroney, Associate Director of the Renewable Energy Foundation, it is noted that the British consumer has been forced over the last two decades to pay a staggering £274 billion (at 2025 prices) to support electricity generated from renewable sources. The numerous direct and indirect annual subsidies for the unreliable breezes and beams have risen from £0.2 billion in 2005 to £22.6 billion last year. That sum, suggest the authors, is expected to grow rapidly under current Government plans and could exceed UK defence spending by 2030.

Climate Hysteria Update | Tom Woods Show

Interview with James Taylor, president of the Heartland Institute.

From the video description:

We cover the “97% consensus” playbook and why alarmists stopped debating the facts, why today’s temperatures are still unusually cold compared to most of the last 6,000 years of human civilization, and why recovering from the Little Ice Age is good news, not a crisis. Plus:

  • Extreme weather truth check: hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, and wildfires — including NASA satellite data showing 24% less land burned since 1998, and 2026’s record-quiet Atlantic hurricane season
  • Trump EPA wins: repealing the Obama-era “endangerment finding” and unleashing American energy
  • Why wind costs 7x and solar 10x more than natural gas when you count full system costs (Rice University 2022), and why electricity prices jumped 22% from 2020-2024
  • Nuclear power, Fukushima, and why the arguments against it are ideological
  • What the Obama EPA actually found on fracking
  • Energy prices and the affordability crisis
  • “Climate reparations” — why cold kills 19x more people than heat, why CO2 at 420 ppm is starving plants that thrived at 1,200 ppm, and record corn, rice, and wheat yields
  • Data centers, AI, water/land scaremongering, and why a low-tech future means China wins
  • Are we winning? Glacier National Park’s still-there glaciers, Kamala Harris dropping climate from the campaign, and that absurd New York Times oyster story debunked

What Climate Science Actually Says vs. What You’ve Been Told It Says

Steve Koonin gives a talk at the ARC conference.

Some guy refutes what Koonin says, to some degree, here.

What the second guy does not refer to is Koonin’s description of how things get ‘blown up’ from science report, to IPCC summaries, to media reports. He also does not refer to the huge increase in young people’s mental health problems caused by climate change apocalyptic talk.
