Here Doug Casey examines the on-going mass migration that is impacting Europe and North America and the implications of this shift in demographics... and they are quite profound.

And this is even without discussing the fact that this migration/invasion is being promoted, facilitated and financed by the political Marxists inside our own Gov't.

Global Impact of Shifting Demographics

By Doug Casey

....The biggest negative the world faces is that Western civilization, Europe’s gift to the world, is being purposefully washed away. The Third World, regrettably, shares almost none of the Western values that transformed the world...

...Although we’ve discussed them at length before, let me list some characteristics that are unique to Western Civ—free thought, free speech, free movement, free markets, the idea of limited government, individualism, rationality, science, political liberty, the concept of progress, privacy, solid property rights, rule of law, industry, and entrepreneurialism. Those concepts and beliefs were basically unknown in the Third World....

...The West, however, is being overwhelmed by both bad ideas and demographics... Huge numbers of anything are innately destabilizing. But the biggest problem is that most migrants come from the world’s two billion Mohammedans... If you enjoy the features of Western Civ, you must understand that Islam and Sharia are antithetical to them.

The Quran and the Hadith make it very clear that Islam (which means “submission”) is not about living in peace with unbelievers. Kafirs are to be converted, eliminated, or, at best, reduced to a second-class status. Inviting large numbers of Mohammedans into a culture is very much like inviting in fanatic communists.

That’s not good if you believe in Western civilization and its values. Marxism, socialism, communism, fascism, Nazism, Greenism, and Islam are essentially totalitarian.

As I considered Casey's post, the question occurred to me, "Does Western Civ have a redoubt?" A redoubt is a fortified position that one can retreat to for defense when overwhelmed by advancing forces. Think Game Of Thrones or The Lord Of The Rings. Domestically, as Casey pointed out, we have the advantage of numbers, 330 million Americans as opposed to the 10 to 20+ million migrants, and the geography of the huge land mass of the US. But that could essentially turn the whole country into a guerrilla war zone. The cities will be lost to the anti-American Marxists.

But internationally, I thought of the Tucker interviews with the American family that has been living in Russia off and on for decades. It occurs to me that Russia is in a unique position to become the "redoubt" for the West. Having suffered nearly a century of totalitarianism and chaos, Russia's Christian culture has re-asserted itself and is in the process of rebuilding a healthy Christian society after having finally rejected Marxism and the rule of a God-hating elite.

Russia's position internationally makes her a natural redoubt. With a huge land mass, unlimited resources and a society that now rejects tyranny of any kind, Russia will not be hospitable to any mass migration from the third world even if they wanted to migrate to such a cold climate. With a small population (about 150 M) as compared to the size of her land mass, Putin's message promoting sanctuary to Westerners wanting to leave the woke/liberal West is understandable. Like America of an earlier age, Russia needs to attract the best, the brightest and entrepreneurial of the Christian West to help develop and prosper Russia. In truth, culturally we have almost complete compatibility with the Russian people as compared to the cultural incompatibility with the migrants streaming across our border who hate what we stand for.

I perked up when I read "Does Western Civ have a redoubt?" My great, great, great grandparents were settlers to New Zealand in the middle 19th century, and set up as farmers in the wilds south of Auckland. They built redoubts, and when Maori rose up to fight the settlers or raided farms, they retreated to the redoubts until things settled down. It's not a word I've heard used in the US.

Maybe if they gave away land like Texas did. “Ride as far as you can in one day and stake off 4 corners.” I just don’t see many people moving to USSR from USA. Things would have to get extremely bad here first. It’s not that bad here yet.

I’m well aware of the differences in how various groups interpret/interact with the Bible. There are indeed many differing views, but only one constitutes ‘rightly dividing the Word of Truth’ (2 Timothy 2:15). I have no interest in debating the matter, but would encourage anyone interested to first of all, be sure you are truly ‘born again’, as the Holy Spirit is the indispensable source of all guidance and instruction for a Christian’s life, and secondly, prayerfully seek wisdom and understanding from God, as you read His Word… Be careful; there are many agendas in play in today’s world, including within Christendom.

"I have no interest in debating the matter..."

I was going to say I think you should develop your understanding of the "Biblical Prophecies" in a comment here so we can understand what you understand. But then I read your disavowal of any interest to do this... So... I would simply point out by way of example that St. Paul never tired of explaining his understanding of Scripture to anyone that would listen.

I agree. In fact the entirety of God's Revelation is focused on the incarnation of God the Son, His life, sacrifice and ascension to the right hand of the Father to sit on the throne as the Son of Man. Like Scripture, our sole focus should be on Christ Jesus as revealed by the Holy Spirit in His Word.

This debate revolves around a question that continually goes unstated that is at the very heart of the meaning of Christ's incarnation and ascension. When Christ ascended to the throne of God, was He not given all dominion, power and authority over the earth thus establishing His kingdom whose rule would have no end? Is not the militant church the Body of Christ on earth filled with the power of the Holy Spirit which no evil spirit can prevail against? And did He not see Satan fall from heaven to earth like lightening thus establishing that Satan is no more than a squatter to be evicted by His Body on earth?

This is the central debate within the American church today that needs to be explicitly stated and answered. This is the central question that eschatology attempts to answer. Psalm 2 gives a very clear answer to that question:

Why do the heathen rage, and the people murmur in vain.

The kings of the earth band themselves, and the Princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

Let us break their bands, and cast their cords from us.

But he that dwelleth in the heaven shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure, saying,

Even I have set my King upon Zion mine holy mountain.

I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.

Thou shalt crush them with a scepter of iron, and break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

Be wise now therefore, ye kings: be learned ye judges of the earth.

Serve the Lord in fear, and rejoice in trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burn. Blessed are all that trust in Him.

Psalm 2 from the 1599 Geneva Bible

Then in Matthew 21, Jesus - The Chief Cornerstone - said:

43 “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. 44 And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”

I was born again in 1990. Been studying the Word and walking with the Lord ever since. Deacon in a PCA Presbyterian church. I love Jesus. That said, your view of eschatology is pre-millenial dispensationalism (of which I once was) which was brought to America by Clarence Darby and popularized by CH Scholfield is a novel concept never held by the Church before and thankfully after more than a 100 years is dying out and mainly held (tightly) by boomers. Russia is not Gog or Magog as your pastor may have told you. Also, it's likely we're in the early church and the Lord won't return for a long time although I'm dogmatic about that.

None of us know when Jesus will return or how the "rapture" will occur and it isn't that important to know.

God seems to work things out in the least expected ways.

We can only study and speculate, and at the end of the day, stay united in the Lord and be ready for His return as it can happen at any moment.

1) His name is John Darby.

2) Believing in the Rapture is NOT a prerequisite to BE raptured. If you are a born again believer, you'll still go when Christ calls us up:

"Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth." Rev 3:10

And: 1Thes 4:16-18, Luke 17:34-37, and many others.

Exactly. In my case, I was raised and have always been a Christian but my Holy Spirit filled journey with the Lord's Word truly began in 1980 and, like you, quickly moved to the Reformed understanding of the Word and a post-millennial understanding of eschatology. This was particularly driven home after a prayerful, in-depth consideration of Christ's words in the NT.

This very clearly states the impact to our country of current mass migration. These "immigrants ", subsidized by our enemies, don't have the European values our ancestors possessed. Most important to me is Individualism. From this springs Freedom, Responsibility, Faith.....

Most of these "immigrants " are invaders, not coming here in the hope of

freedom. We must be vigilant and Situationally Aware. Practice observation of your surroundings.

The Enlightenment West (Greco-Roman) is at heart opposed to a Protestant Christian World and both of these Philosophies which contain Moral Individualism safeguarded by restrained Corporate Governance, recoil from Roman Catholicism being at head of things. Orthodoxy is an outlier, but ALL of THESE Christian subsets are targets of Globalists who incite and inject Ultra-Nationalism into them as a wedge, or inject Pan-Socialism to dilute and conform churches to Secularism and Occultism (Walz's ECLA Leftist-Lutheranism). Islamists are a great tool for destabilization but are themselves targets, especially if too out of hand (ISIS). Hindu extremists can also be utilized as needed regionally. We don't hear too much of devout militant Buddhists and Japanese Militancy and Emperor Worship and Bushido has been shelved for other more conventional means to erode Japanese society while containing their aggression and influence in favor of Chinese Communist Leadership assertion of power. AMERICA's Anglo-English-Protestant roots melded with Enlightenment (slave-owning Greco-Roman Patricianism), and US Constitution is quite unique and in general an obstacle to Globalist rule. Areas of soft opportune weakness however abound, to be exploited by the Neo-Globalist Occult who're working to subvert and fundamentally transform it, and the same types have been working at undermining or hijacking it all since the founding of America 1775-1791.

CS Lewis' Abolition of Man describes one level of this Global conflict of depth and meaning, and opposing reality that wars for our minds and souls and purpose. These mass demographic pressures and shifts are as intentional as when Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Incan Empire, and others including the British Empire, and USA have done them in the past.

Here's another perspective that sheds much light on this issue. Right now, the UK is being internally attacked in a manner that foreshadows the attack that will very soon come to America. Being forewarned is ALWAYS preferable to being caught on your heels. Forewarned is forearmed.........................

What is happening right now in the UK is a trial run for what they PLAN to do to Amerika when they "win" the election. It is a glimpse into our future. The UK is the back-door (and I use that phrase advisedly) to America. We NEED to pay attention to what is going on there! And pay attention to the "Helegian Dialectic" chart embedded in the article!..........................................

UK Riots: The UK is under the biggest PsyOp of the 21st century

We are witnessing the confluence of carefully implemented legislation, judicial and enforcement mechanisms combined with hyper-effective PsyOp manipulation through fake media, Ignasz Semmelweisz writes and uses images from various sources to explain why he comes to this conclusion...

By Ignasz Semmelweisz, 10 August 2024

The UK is under the biggest PsyOp in its 21st-century history, more powerful than covid because state use of small amounts of people and agents is providing grossly disproportionate cover for the biggest single move into totalitarianism ever...

...All of the above is Cognitive Warfare. You are on the front line, inside World War III. Didn’t you get the (subliminal) memo?

In war, you must pick a side. This is an explicit rule of the game you do not control. Which sides are available for you to pick from is also a feature of the game. To pick a side is to play. You are either with your High or against your High.

Freedom is slavery.

Why are you picking a side from the ones that are given to you? Now, you are playing their game. Now, you are a victim of the PsyOp and you chose to become one because you could choose to not play if you just followed the bullet point steps above...

...He who picks the question(s) controls the debate. He who frames the answers controls the Overton window. He who sets the Overton window controls perception. He who controls perception defines reality...

...The only way to win is not to play. They make, hold, deal and know all the cards. The house always wins. Abandon the game. Leave the panopticon. Build totally separate, independent, effective community in real life. This is both the weapon and the defence against the PsyOp. Start local, in real life. Befriend your real community.

You described the Kalergi Plan (wikipedia definition and NOT a debunked conspiracy!!!!!)

"The Kalergi Plan, sometimes called the Coudenhove-Kalergi Conspiracy, is a debunked far-right, antisemitic, white genocide conspiracy theory. The theory claims that Austrian-Japanese politician Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, creator of the Paneuropean Union, concocted a plot to mix and replace white Europeans with other races via immigration. The conspiracy theory is most often associated with European groups and parties, but it has also spread to North American politics."

If you read the entire article linked, Casey points out that the mass migration the US is experiencing now has been going on in Europe for decades now. He points out that the immigrants never become self-supporting but live off the state and are now big enough in numbers that they are actually taking over the gov't and the public square. As immigrants they are very tribal and stick together and have only disdain for the native Europeans.
