During the past 20th century, the democratic nations of the Judeo-Christian cultural sphere decimated each other in two devastating world wars. More precisely, these were intra-European fratricidal wars, preceded by three other self-destructive major wars. These were the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648, which was not only about religious interpretations), Napoleon's militaristic rampage (1799-1814), and the Crimean War (1853-1856), which destroyed the primacy of European solidarity, fought alongside the Turks against Russia. A common factor in these wars was the financing of their initiators, including the Nazis, by (Western) banks. https://www.globalresearch.ca/history-of-world-war-ii-nazi-germany-was-financed-by-the-federal-reserve-and-the-bank-of-england/5530318
Today, the synopsis of these five major fratricidal wars could and should awaken historical awareness in order to recognize a fatal error of repetition in the Ukraine War in time. For this represents a repetition of the aforementioned Crimean War, exaggerated to the point of absurdity. While in 1853 four powers campaigned against Russia, there are now 32, namely 31 NATO states and Ukraine. The mere irrational prolongation of the war through unconditional arms deliveries to the weaker party acts as a death mill, to which around 1 million citizens of European nations have already fallen victim – more than during in the entire Crimean War.
The spread of liberal civilization since the US Declaration of Independence in 1776 has been one of the few positive political developments of the last 250 years. However, the Western nations that carry on this legacy are distracted from the main threat to this social model. The real danger is even denied. This threat comes from the expansion of an Islam that has long been politically favored and thus encouraged to resist reform.
While the clash of civilizations in the West is hushed up by the media and politicians, people on the Islamic side have long been aware of it and it has become subject of superiority-laden visions of the future. In November 2024, Türkiye’s President Erdogan stated in his speech at a significant Islamic conference: "The West's progress – built on blood, tears, massacres, genocide, and exploitation... has temporarily gained the upper hand to strangle the divine and human-centered civilization of the East..."
"There will come a day, sooner or later, when the parenthesis of the period of progress that excludes the sacred and humane will be closed, and as Western civilization collapses with a great clamor, … our civilization ..., will flourish, and it will rear up even more strongly..." https://www.memri.org/tv/turkish-president-erdogan-western-civilization-will-collapse-we-will-flourish.
The financially powerful forces that endanger the continued existence of Western civilization by fueling self-destructive militarism are simultaneously promoting an expanding and radicalizing Islam through their tools—the media and NGOs, between others. https://www.frieden-freiheit-fairness.com/en/blog/fraud-manipulated-clash-civilizations-short-version
The artificial suppression of the necessary fair ideological debate between the liberal-democratic social model and the united plutocratic-Islamic model is now proving fatal in the inevitable GREAT CHANGE OF ERA.
This suppression is part of a general distortion of reality by the media and politics in the atmosphere of the 'political correctness' that guides them. By defaming any legitimate and necessary criticism of Islam*) as Islamophobic, a devastatingly false signal is sent towards migrants and Islamists. Instead of encouraging a willingness to integrate and reform, it torpedoes such harmonizing approaches. The visible result is the growth of parallel societies and, within these, the development of a disrespectful conqueror mentality.

In this historical turning point, the current suicidal course is leading the free civilization of the West to its replacement by an Orwellian UN dictatorship in which freedom-oriented Christians and Jews are marginalized demographically and ‚morally‘ by propaganda.
This makes a profound course correction with the following democratic reforms necessary:
1. restoration of a fair market economy by overcoming the de facto dominance of banks and corporations,
2. safeguarding of freedom of expression and information so that free markets of ideas overcome the current dominance of the major news agencies established within the oligopoly,
3. thorough reform and effective democratic control of the security apparatus consisting of the military and intelligence agencies,
4. effective protection of citizens from spying by the CIA, NSA, and other intelligence agencies,
5. democratization and debureaucratization of the UN and the EU by belatedly implementing the principles of the UN Charter, namely the replacement of war with peaceful conflict resolution according to its preamble, the granting of the right of self-determination of peoples according to Article 1, and the priority right to take necessary steps for self-defense according to Article 51 – which Israel has been denied for decades with devastating consequences. https://www.frieden-freiheit-fairness.com/en/blog/uns-guilt-terrorism (center of text)
6. further development of democracy and strengthening of its resistance to autocratic influences, especially those of financial power.
