Oswald Spengler famously remarked that “Christian theology is the grandmother of Bolshevism,” meaning that the faith of our fathers implicitly endorsed Marxist universalism and egalitarianism. Unhappily enough, more than few young conservatives agree, and link the rise of modern radical Leftism to traditional Christian principles. Christian Leftists also agree and think the life and teachings of Christ implicitly endorse their ideology, not least Open Borders: “Jesus was a refugee, too!” But in a new book, Assailing the Gates of Hell: Christianity at War With the Left, Jan Adrian Schlebusch, head of the Reformed Christian Pactum Institute, shows that authentic Christianity is genuinely right-wing, a bulwark of tradition, and incompatible not only with Marxism and its variants but also even (he argues) with classical liberalism. Christianity is not ambivalent about the survival of nations, and it certainly does not demand Open Borders.
Most “conservative” Christians, particularly professional apparatchiks in Conservatism, Inc., and its CuckChristian subsidiary, ignore demographic realities and the Great Replacement for fear of being called “racist.” Thus, Schlebusch writes that “the main reason why the Right is losing the culture war” is because of the “government policy of allowing mass immigration from the Third World,” which, to the delight of Treason Lobbyists, “not only demographically replaces the white populations of Western nations in order to undermine their social cohesion and Christian cultures, but also literally imports their own voters.”
And, he argues, “open border immigration polices lead to socio-political disasters” and the “feminist worldview with its aversion to children leads to national and cultural suicide.”
Schlebusch, a South African who has watched the mass rape and murder of his people in the name of “multicultural democracy,” has condensed several centuries of intellectual history into a concise primer about the West’s predicament and what Christians should do about it.

We're crossposting this from thehebrewconservative.com because what's happening in Israel has a number of parallels with what's happening in America.

In part I, I reviewed the demographic sources of the internal friction in Israel. In part II, I reviewed the sad and hysterical cultural legacy of Bolshevism that so animates most of Israel’s ideological clashes.
In this part, I wish to review the anatomy of the Israeli Left’s campaign against judiciary reform, and the results it now leaves in its successful aftermath.
Where We Are
Very briefly (because you can find more coverage elsewhere)—for the last three months, the Jewish state has been rent by an array of massive protests, strikes, media acrimony, vituperation, and general nastiness. All of that, in response to the Netanyahu government’s attempt to pass a rather milquetoast judiciary reform.
The reform, now all but fizzed out and delayed in search for “compromise,” had aspired to re-balance the Israeli system of government. It had intended to do so by passing legislation to transfer some power, not too long ago usurped, from the unelected and mostly self-appointing judiciary, back to Israel’s elected institutions.
However, as stated above, that humble intent was met by fierce protests, the result of a brilliant (and vicious) counter-campaign, that brought the country to the brink, and perhaps even beyond the brink, of anarchy.
How could a counter-campaign generated by Israel’s old and resentful elites, who on the whole are in the minority, be so effective against a government elected by the majority of the population? Let us analyze.
A Campaign of Power Multipliers
In tactics, a power multiplier is an element that allows a player to overcome numerical inferiority. For instance, excellent intelligent services, allowing effective use of one’s limited weaponry, are a power multiplier. They allow one to punch above one’s weight and concentrate one’s fire more lethally. In video games, hitting a boss at a weak point

Last week, the Economic Policy Institute [Tweet them] posted Low-wage workers have seen historically fast real wage growth in the pandemic business cycle, by Elise Gould and Katherine DeCourcy. [March 23, 2023 ]
This reported:
Between 2019 and 2022, low-wage workers experienced historically fast real wage growth. The 10th percentile real hourly wage grew 9.0% over the three-year period. This tremendous real wage growth at the lower end of the wage distribution was exceptional, significantly faster than in any other business cycle peak since 1979…
VDARE.com prefers longtitudinal charts to bar charts, because bar charts can cherry-pick individual years and not show underlying trends. That seems to be what EPI has done here, arbitarily starting with 2019, thus omitting evidence that real low-income wage growth began in 2017; and also that real wage growth may now subsequently be stalling.
Reason: EPI wants to attribute this low-income growth to the plethora of income redistribution measures put in place during the legislative pork orgy which started in mid-2020 under cover of COVID. But it does quietly concede:
…from 2017 to 2019…the labor market was tightening…
Interestingly, the EPI also had to concede:
Low-wage workers experienced fast wage growth in all states, regardless of changes to their minimum wage.
Glaringly omitted here is the effect of President Trump’s immigration activities. These drastically cut the saturation of America’s labor market by newcomers. This was graphically demonstrated for us on November 8, 2020 NATIONAL DATA: October Jobs—Trump’s Immigration Triumph Continues. Farewell To That Too?
After losing upward momentum in Trump’s first years, the immigrant share of U.S. employment plunged from mid 2019.

Talk about bad luck! What are the odds of the Nashville school shooter being a transgendered person who is ALSO mentally ill?
Arguably, there were hints.
In a form of modern Lysenkoism, young transgenders overwhelmingly come from homes with signs that say: “In This House, We Believe: Black Lives Matter, Women’s Rights Are Human Rights, No Human Is Illegal, Science Is Real, Love Is Love, Kindness Is Everything.”
Specifically, a study of adolescent and young adult transgenders found that the adults in the home who identify as “parents” were 91.4% white; 70.9% had a bachelor’s degree or higher and 85.9% favored gay marriage. Parent respondents were 91.7% female.
This is a weirdly specific profile. Only about a third of Americans have B.A.s; a third of the population is white and female, and about a third supported gay marriage (until it was made a capital offense to oppose it—changing even Barack Obama’s mind!).
How many other biological conditions are correlated with political ideology?
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has proposed legislation to fight the illegal-alien invasion at the southwest border. The proposal mandates that all Florida businesses use E-Verify [Governor Ron DeSantis Announces Legislation to Counteract Biden’s Border Crisis, FlGov.com, February 23, 2023]. It’s good as far as it goes, but only one step in the right direction. E-Verify has problems, although not the ones we hear about (the minimal false positives Alex Nowrasteh and the National Immigration Forum complain of). DeSantis should know that E-Verify is not as effective as it’s touted to be. Those who back it must also find ways to counteract illegals and employers who wiggle around it.
DeSantis had already required that all state and local agencies, and their contractors and subcontractors, to use E-Verify to stop them from hiring illegals. Also helping is his Executive Order that stops state agencies from helping resettle illegals in Florida. Both were good ideas.
But E-Verify can fail because of government-issued Employment Authorization Documents, known as EAD cards. Asylum and refugee applicants and U-Visa recipients—non-immigrant visas for crime victims who help the cops—can apply for them.
But note that those asylum-refugee applicants who receive the cards might not succeed in their application.
And needless to say, U-Visa is riddled with fraud. All visas invite some fraud, but the U-Visa is especially notorious. All an illegal need do is head for the police precinct and claim to be a crime victim, and snap, Uncle Sam stamps another U-Visa. Police are simply supposed to accept an illegal’s word that he’s a victim. And of course, we know an illegal would never lie for a free pass to stay on the sacred Magic Dirt!
In his piece about California’s legislation that will permit illegals to become cops, VDARE’s Federale discussed at length why illegals can work in the country legally. An EAD, he explained, “does not turn an illegal alien into a legal alien,” and “DACA recipients are illegal aliens despite retaining employment authorization.” Simple fact is, once any alien has an EAD card,

President Trump held his first political rally of his 2024 campaign in Waco, Texas at the Waco Regional Airport this past weekend. [Video here, transcript here] I have attended over a dozen Trump events and his speech covered many of his regular talking points. However, it also debuted some new second-term policy proposals, such as baby bonuses and building new cities.
Rally Atmosphere
This Waco rally was similar to many of his other airport rallies. It was very heavily attended, with most vehicles sporting Texas plates, although I did see a plate from Georgia. But still, many had traveled many hours to attend (this is Texas). There was a lot of walking to get to the venue—a mile and a half in my case. But rally attendees do get to see his plane land and take off.
The atmosphere was different from Trump rallies when he was President. The biggest difference that I noticed: the lack of protesters. This could be because of the rally was located in a county that gave over 60% of its vote to Trump in 2020, or because the left and their proxy groups have gotten lazier during the Biden regime.
Crowd Response
The crowd at the rally was largely white and had many attendees sporting cowboy hats and Western apparel. However, as with all Trump rallies, there is a contingent of black, Hispanic and Asian attendees.
Still, it does seem that President Trump may be recognizing the demographics of his base: “A lot of us come from Europe; directly and indirectly—so we love Europe.” With American becoming increasingly less white, it could be that a candidate openly courting the white vote will become more politically feasible.
President Trump’s biggest applause lines came from his
