Globalism is the philosophy of liars.

rish farmers and truckers are blocking major thoroughfares as part of growing protests against their government's mass immigration policies, "green energy" regulations, and "climate change" taxes. Miles-long convoys of German drivers have blockaded the streets surrounding Chancellor Merz's residence in Berlin to demand his removal from office. In Manchester thousands of patriotic Brits continue to take to the streets with a sea of white flags bearing red crosses - Saint George's Cross, the national flag of England.
Across Europe, similar protests against mass immigration, costly bureaucratic regulations, and economically suicidal energy policies pop up without much warning and quickly take over national highways and city streets. One of the common and visually striking features of these protests is the multitude of national flags. From one set of eyes staring at the array of protesters waving their country's flags in the air, the scene looks like a never-ending quilt of unbridled patriotism.
For the most part, European and North American corporate newsrooms refuse to cover these newsworthy protests. Their concerted efforts to hide what is happening across the West stand in contrast to the ways they actively promote small gatherings of NGO-funded provocateurs pushing globalism's favorite pet projects: calling white people "racist," supporting taxpayer-funded abortion, threatening to murder "populists," calling for the end of private property, demanding amnesty for illegal aliens, and equating the use of hydrocarbon fuels to genocide.
When the Soros family or other globalist billionaires pay rioters to take to the streets, corporate newsrooms (often owned, directly or indirectly, by the same billionaires paying for the street theater) cover the anti-Western mayhem as if globalist temper tantrums were exotic breaking news (when, in reality, Western citizens are keenly aware that globalists excel at whining, breaking things, trespassing, stealing, and assaulting people). When pro-illegal immigration crowds show up to burn the national flags of Great Britain, France, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, news cameras catch the action. When those same throngs of foreigners wave the flags of their home countries, news cameras record the scene as if it were some righteous and historic fight for "diversity" and "multiculturalism." When the peoples of Europe whose ancestors have lived on the continent for several thousand years wave the flags of their political states, however, "reporters" pretend that the assembly of citizens is doing nothing but "promoting hate."
What an interesting time to be alive. For all of human history, when a group of foreigners occupied the territorial home of another people and waved the emblems of their foreign states in the faces of the natives, we recognized that event as an "invasion." Today, Western governments - stewing in the poisons of globalism and advancing a religion of self-immolation - treat invaders as citizens and citizens as nuisances. Across Europe, North America, and Australasia, globalist governments have lowered their drawbridges for outsiders while throwing insiders into the moats. It is easy to imagine French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, or European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hiding in medieval castle keeps while instructing self-loathing guards to fire arrows only at the people waving French, British, or European flags. How else would one expect European "leaders" to behave when European governments allow foreigners to rape and murder citizens while arresting citizens who object to being raped and murdered ? More and more citizens are recognizing the total disregard that globalist governments have for their safety.
This "awakening" that is happening throughout the West - wherein ordinary citizens have begun to rebel against their governments' suicidal policies - is picking up steam. It seems to reflect a social consciousness that is increasingly aware that home governments have long been behaving as enemies. "Enemy" is a strong word reserved for those who oppose us with great hostility or malice. Generally, "enemies" lie on the other side of a country's borders or across entire oceans. But when Western governments invite mortal enemies inside their nations' borders, those governments aid and abet the very people who wish us harm. Traditionally, we call government officeholders who betray citizens "traitors." Traitors, of course, are enemies, too.
Globalism, by design, works to destroy national borders. Its proponents pursue this goal through increasingly overt ways. In Europe, the Schengen treaties and rules incorporated into European Union law have eliminated internal border controls between most countries. Originally touted as a way to allow the citizens of European nations to travel freely throughout the continent, it was always a mass migration weapon that has enabled globalists to flood the discrete nations of Europe with foreigners from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. In North America, the United Nations and globalist-funded NGOs spend billions of dollars each year in assisting migrants from South and Central America to travel through Mexico and flood the United States. In both Europe and North America, the same wealthy, powerful globalists pursue one goal: to replace native citizens with so many foreign peoples that it becomes impossible for any nation to maintain a distinct identity.
Globalists are internationalists. They seek to create a new world order with global government, international agencies, and international law. One way to accomplish these objectives is to erase national borders and to invite an international population to resettle inside a formerly sovereign nation. By doing so, both foreign allegiances and international laws are injected into the domestic governing system, whether the native population desires that result or not.
Just as the devil is the father of lies, globalism is the philosophy of liars. Those liars call illegal immigrants "asylum seekers." They call foreigners who are financially dependent on government welfare "contributors," "taxpayers," and "economic boons." They call citizens who wish to enforce their country's borders and protect their country's culture "racists," "bigots," "fascists," "Nazis," and "xenophobes" (as if foreigners are known for flocking to racist, bigoted, fascist lands filled with Nazis who discriminate against outsiders). Globalist liars pretend that borders are antiquated relics of "colonialism" and "imperialism," even though it is foreigners who are colonizing nations by building little ethnic empires that refuse to assimilate.
At some point, the people being slowly conquered through the one-two punch of "open borders" and "mass migration" (or what we might call "globalist-assisted national suicide") were going to look around and realize that the countries they once knew are quickly disappearing. If current trends continue, the ten largest cities in the United Kingdom will have Muslim majorities within the next few decades. Similar trends are completely upending the demographics and cultures of France, Germany, Spain, and every other European nation that traded sovereignty for the Trojan Horse of the Schengen Agreement.
In the United States, Minnesota and Maine have Somali enclaves that have become so politically powerful that Minneapolis Mayor (and Democrat Party globalist) Jacob Frey delivered parts of his victory speech last November in the Somali tongue. While globalist liars demonize Americans as "colonizers," Somalis (with the help of their globalist patrons and Minnesota Democrats' fondness for welfare fraud) have actually colonized what once was one of the "whitest" regions of the nation. Whenever illegal aliens commit crimes in the United States, globalist prosecutors sweep those crimes under the rug, globalist newsrooms pretend they never happened, and globalist politicians repeat ad nauseam, "Diversity is our strength."
"Diversity" can be a strength. It is nice to have a diverse collection of weapons when under attack. A diverse collection of experts is helpful when designing architectural marvels, such as giant walls. It is not likely, however, that many people behind a castle's gates have ever looked at an approaching army and concluded, "We won't survive without more diversity." People who are interested in protecting their civilizations do not invite other civilizations to take over their castles.
Globalists, however, are at war with Western civilization. Those liars betray us all. They are our enemies.
