The Death of the Western World

The Death of the Western World

Paul Craig Roberts

Opposition to current government policies is being criminalized in the UK and the EU. A recent example is the case of the retired Swiss military intelligence officer who has been sanctioned by the EU and is unable to access his assets and bank account in order to pay his bills and maintain his life. Gilbert Doctorow discusses these totalitarian policies that now characterize what is called the “European democracies.”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkcraVlIJsg 

The freezing and seizure of assets and persons without due process of law is destroying the security of property and free speech in the very countries that have economic, social and political systems based on these rights. I understand this to mean that the Western world no longer believes in the values that it professes. We are presented with the picture of the Western world that has lost its belief system, which makes it easy for the West to be transformed by corrupt politicians and immigrant invaders imposing their own values on western societies. We are experiencing now in our own time the death of the Western world.

The Ever-Widening War

28. Dezember 2025 - 15:55

The Ever-Widening War

Paul Craig Roberts

As we enter 2026, the ever-widening war is further widening. Russian foreign minister Lavrov accuses the European Union of escalating the conflict and preparing for war with Russia. As a fifth year of conflict begins, Russian president Putin’s limited military operation is expanding into a general conflict between Europe and Russia. The EU has raised apparently from loans from banks approximately $100 billion to enable Ukraine to continue the conflict while Europe builds up it’s military capability to directly enter the war with Russia. This statement is not merely my opinion. It is the stated policy of the German chancellor, the British prime minister, and the French president.

From the beginning of Putin’s limited military operation in Donbas, I have described it as folly that would prolong the conflict until it ever-widened into a general war. It seems that now Russia’s foreign minister has come to agree with me.

The conflict should have been a very quickly settled affair. Russia should have cut all rail and sea routes into Ukraine, thus preventing the transfer of Western weapons. The government in Kyiv should have been attacked, and the entire electric supply in Ukraine shut down. With Ukrainian government disrupted and the inability of Ukraine to move troops and weapons, the conflict would have quickly been over.

But Putin was not prepared. Perhaps influenced by his pro-western central bank director that Russia could not afford much of a military, instead of preparing for the inevitable conflict, Putin placed his faith in the so-called Minsk agreement, which the German chancellor and the French president said was used by the West to deceive Russia. Thus in February 2022 when Putin faced the invasion of the two breakaway republics known as Donbas by a 600,000 Ukrainian army trained and equipped by the West, his only option was to protect the Russia citizens in Donbas from the Ukrainian army as Putin had left Russia unprepared.

The conflict consistently widened as the west took advantage of the opportunity that Putin’s hesitation extended to them to continually widen the conflict. Weapon system after weapon system that the West said would never be sent to the Ukrainians were sent. The Russian strategic bombing force was attacked. Today Russian life far inside the country is disrupted by Ukrainian drone attacks aided and abetted  by the West. Citizens are killed and energy facilities damaged. Putin’s hopes to end the conflict through negotiations have come to nothing. President Trump has yet to sit down with Putin, evaluate whether the United States can accept Putin’s conditions for ending the root cause of the conflict, and, if not, attempting to arrive at some compromise.

In the western world, continuing war serves powerful economic and political interests. The profits of the military/security complex bloom during war. Politicians receive commissions from awarding armament contracts. The European Union in a state of disarray seizes on Russia as the common enemy to hold the European Union together. What Putin’s policy of a never-ending ever-widening war has done is to create a formidable force against peace in Ukraine. Putin’s blunder is leading directly to major conflict.

Possibly the conflict will be stopped by the European Union falling apart. The disarray is apparent. The Belgian prime minister blocked the transfer of the frozen Russian assets to Ukraine. The president of Hungary denounces Europe’s hostile attitude toward Russia. The main European warmongers–the chancellor of Germany, the British prime minister, and the president of France–have very little public support. It remains to be seen if such weak political figures can lead their countries into a major war that would devastate all of Europe.

The world would be much safer at this time if Putin had been realistic and had understood that the purpose of the American coup against the elected Ukrainian government was directed at Putin’s statement that Russia no longer accepted American hegemony. Apparently the Wolfowitz doctrine was not taken seriously by the Russian government.

The lack of Western moral fiber is apparent when the West can be more upset by the failure of Washington’s policy to destabilize Russia than the West is by Israel’s genocide of Palestine.

Considering President Trump’s preoccupation with seizing Venezuela’s oil reserves and other national assets and Netanyahu’s pressure on Trump to attack Iran, Trump might withdraw from the conflict in Ukraine, thereby leaving the future of NATO in doubt. If so, Putin’s ever-widening war could have a better outcome than a generalized war.

We will see what the players on the stage, fools all, bring us in 2026.

While Israel’s government in Washington spent $1 trillion destroying Arab countries for Israel, Democrats legislated mandates for electric cars, and electricity consuming data centers are built all over the United States, nothing was done to refurbish the fragile American electric grid on which life depends.

The inability of the United States government to attend to US matters is extraordinary.

The Greatest Gift of All

22. Dezember 2025 - 13:43

The Greatest Gift of All

Paul Craig Roberts

Dear readers,

I appreciate your support of this website over the years since you called me out of my short-lived retirement.  My Christmas column of many years ago has become a tradition beloved by many.  Here it is for 2025:

The decorations and gifts of Christmas are one of our connections to a Christian culture that has held Western civilization together for 2,000 years.

In our culture the individual counts. This permits an individual person to put his or her foot down, to take a stand on principle, to become a reformer, and to take on injustice.

This empowerment of the individual is unique to Western civilization. It has made the individual a citizen equal in rights to all other citizens, protected from tyrannical government by the rule of law and free speech. These achievements are the products of centuries of struggle, but they all flow from the teaching that God so values the individual’s soul that he sent his son to die so we might live. By so elevating the individual, Christianity gave him a voice.

Formerly only those with power had a voice. But in Western civilization people with integrity have a voice. So do people with a sense of justice, of honor, of duty, of fair play. Reformers can reform, investors can invest, and entrepreneurs can create commercial enterprises, new products and new occupations.

The result was a land of opportunity. The United States attracted immigrants who shared our values and reflected them in their own lives. Our culture was absorbed by a diverse people who became one.

In recent decades we have lost sight of the historic achievement that empowered the individual. The religious, legal and political roots of this great achievement are no longer reverently taught in high schools, colleges and universities or respected by our government. The voices that reach us through the millennia and connect us to our culture are being silenced by “Identity Politics,” “political correctness,” “critical race theory,” “DEI,” and the war against “white culture.” Prayer has been driven from schools and Christian religious symbols from public life. Santa Claus has replaced Jesus, and Hollywood songs, such as “I’m Dreaming of a white Christmas,” have replaced traditional carols, such as “Joy to the World” and “O Come All Ye Faithful.”

Christianity has been marginalized. Each year it becomes more difficult to find a Christmas card that says “Merry Christmas” instead of “Seasons Greetings.” In some churches Christianity is being transmuted into Christian Zionism and the worship of Israel. Others fly LGBTQ and BLM flags. We are approaching a time when a Christian Christmas cannot be celebrated as it is not inclusive in a diverse society and therefore is politically incorrect if not a hate crime.

Constitutional protections have been diminished by hegemonic political ambitions. Indefinite detention, torture, and murder are now acknowledged practices of the United States government. The historic achievement of due process has been rolled back. Tyranny has re-emerged.

Diversity at home and hegemony abroad are consuming values and have dismantled the culture and the rule of law, which has been weaponized against Christian society. There is plenty of room for cultural diversity in the world, but not within a single country. A Tower of Babel has no culture. A person cannot be a Christian one day, a pagan the next and a Muslim the day after. A hodgepodge of cultural and religious values provides no basis for law – except the raw power of the pre-Christian past.

All Americans have a huge stake in Christianity. Whether or not we are individually believers in Christ, we are beneficiaries of the moral doctrine that has curbed power and protected the weak.

Power is the horse ridden by evil. In the 20th century the horse was ridden hard, and the 21st century shows an increase in pace. Millions of people were exterminated in the 20th century by wars that served the ambitions of political leaders and ideological movements. Many were murdered simply because they were members of a class or race that had been demonized by intellectuals and political authority. In the beginning years of the 21st century, hundreds of thousands of Muslims in seven countries have been murdered and millions displaced in order to serve the neoconservatives’ agenda of extending Washington and Israel’s hegemony.

Power that is secularized and cut free of civilizing traditions is not limited by moral and religious scruples. V.I. Lenin made this clear when he defined the meaning of his dictatorship as “unlimited power, resting directly on force, not limited by anything.”

Washington’s drive for hegemony over US citizens and the rest of the world is based entirely on the exercise of force and has resurrected unaccountable power.

Christianity’s emphasis on the worth of the individual makes such power as Lenin claimed, and as Western governments increasingly claim, unthinkable. Be we religious or be we not, our celebration of Christ’s birthday celebrates a religion that made us masters of our souls and of our political life on Earth. Such a religion as this is worth holding onto even by atheists.

As we enter into 2026, Western civilization, the product of thousands of years of striving, is in decline. Degeneracy is everywhere before our eyes. As the West sinks into tyranny and degeneracy, will Western peoples defend their liberty and their souls, or will they sink into the tyranny which again has raised its ugly and all devouring head?

End of Year Statement

21. Dezember 2025 - 14:59

Dear readers,

The most critical issue Americans face is their continued national existence as an ethnic sovereign nation. Ignoring the issue pushes the United States into a Tower of Babel in which a nation cannot exist.

On Monday, tomorrow, I will post my traditional Christmas column. Perhaps it will remind some of us of our roots in God’s grace.

The website might offer fewer articles until the new year unless major events occur demanding explanation and comment.

Thank you for supporting this website for another year. It is encouraging to me that there are still some Americans who hanker for the truth, or whatever approximation to it that can be achieved, and for the continuing existence of the political, economic, social, and moral system that a handful of Founding Fathers bequeathed to us. The defense of this gift is our greatest responsibility.

White ethnicities are an extremely endangered species

21. Dezember 2025 - 14:55

White ethnicities are an extremely endangered species

Paul Craig Roberts

I wish I could find my white privilege. All I can find is my white burden. Shrinking middle-class incomes are burdened with the upkeep of millions of illegals who, with the help of Democrats, have overrun our country and with the burden of supporting 42 million Americans on SNAP benefits, which amounts to a form of communism. Redistribution is now the means of sustaining a population 1/4 the size of the American workforce. Yet anti-white propagandists, such as Robin Diangelo, continue to tell us that we white Americans are despicable privileged white supremacists.

How are people privileged and supreme when it has been legal, although in violation of the US Constitution, for white people, especially heterosexual males, to be discriminated against in university admissions, employment, and promotion for a half century? How is it privileged when any accusation, any slur, can be leveled against white American citizens, whereas in comparison a mild criticism of a person of color or of a Jew or a Zionist murderer, such as Netanyahu, brings down condemnation and often loss of job and other punishments on the head of such an audacious white person as to dare criticize even slightly members of the true privileged class?

For years on this website I have documented the erasure of western civilization. One of my themes has been the title of Jean Raspail’s famous novel, The Camp of the Saints. This novel first published in 1973 tells the story of the French and the entire European population overrun by non-whites due to the overwhelming guilt instilled in white ethnicities by education and media. The first law of the new regime prohibits white marriage and the creation of a new white person.

Jean Raspail was 50 years ahead of his time. Today we see his scenario playing out all over the Western world. The Democrat party in the United States is a party committed to open borders. The previous American president Biden declared that America had room for unlimited numbers of unassimilated non-white people and welcomed them to America. American corporate advertisements promote racial intermarriage and miscegenation, which eliminates diversity. White families are seldom seen in the advertisements of corporate America. As I have reported on this website, in Europe governments chastise their white ethnicities for dating one another and encourage sexual relationships that result in the disappearance of white peoples.

The confidence of white ethnicities has also been damaged by Jewish claims that white gentiles are anti-Semites who wish to inflict horror on Jews. This false propaganda claim is used to protect Israel from any accountability for its crimes against humanity.

Feminists also have done huge damage to the continuation of white ethnicity. Feminist portray white heterosexual men as misogynists who oppress white women just as they oppress people of color. This and other unfounded feminist accusations are destroying the white family and the white birth rate. Even without massive non-white immigration the western world under the feminist influence has a birth rate that cannot reproduce a white population.

Everywhere in the western world white heterosexual men have been marginalized. Recently I reported on this website that women now dominate law, education, medicine, media and at 46% of corporate CEOs are closing in on male leadership of American business. Recently I read that 14 years ago, white men constituted 48% of TV writers but today they account for only 11.9%. The editorial staff of the magazine, The Atlantic, declined from 53% male and 89% white 11 years ago to 36% male and 66% white in 2024. White men declined from 39% of tenure track positions in the humanities department at Harvard University in 2014 to 18% nine years later in 2023. A New York Times fellowship established in 2018 has been awarded to only 10 white men out of the 220 fellowships granted in the last seven years. These figures document the marginalization of white men and their removal from positions of influence and power.

Looking at  the leaders of dominant America corporations, such as Microsoft, we see the prevalence of Muslim and Indian names and the absence of Anglo-Saxon names. The chief of artificial intelligence for Microsoft is a Muslim.

We see the same in government. Forty-two American cities now have Muslim mayors, and Dearborn, Michigan now has a majority Muslim population. Hispanics have retaken California and are in the process of retaking, Arizona, New Mexico  and Texas. The conquest of the United States by immigrant invaders proceeds despite the $1 trillion American defense budget.

What we are experiencing is the white western world’s loss of self-belief and its submission to indoctrination against itself taught by its own universities, public schools and media.

Does this describe lost white ethnicities with no prospects of survival? 

If not, what does it describe? A Tower of Babel in which countries consist of warring tribes?

THE  WESTERN  WORLD  HAS  DESTROYED  ITS  MEN

21. Dezember 2025 - 14:55

THE  WESTERN  WORLD  HAS  DESTROYED  ITS  MEN

Paul Craig Roberts

Russia’s President Putin has again expressed his concern that the Russian birth rate has fallen to 1.4. He sees this as a demographic crisis. The birth rate is insufficient to maintain the current size of the Russian population, much less to increase it.

We see that the perpetuation of white ethnicities is in question in every white country. White ethnicities are exterminating themselves without the help of dark-skinned immigrant-invaders, and anti-white ideologues advocating miscegenation.

Over the course of my life, I have seen the impact of social and family instability on the birth rate in the United States. Corporations after World War II began moving employees to different locations. Formerly the tendency was for people to live where they grew up. A young couple would be among many family members–parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, cousins, and have the same friends for a lifetime. This stable environment provided babysitters and counselors to help the marriage stay together. A network of people to provide help, and to need help, sustained a sense of duty and responsibility to others. The endless round of birthdays, anniversaries, new births, holidays and celebrations provided a security network more important than Social Security.The crude form of self-love now advocated by the latest version of the liberated feminist and by extreme libertarians had no scope in which self- interest could prevail and leave a person isolated. Today America has many isolated people.

Postwar inflation and rising taxation to support the growing liberal welfare state, together with feminist propaganda, eventually forced women out of the home. Instead of one person bringing home work stress, two persons did. Initially, wives worked to help make ends meet. But as women became more career ambitious, husbands were confronted with the question whether his wife slept her way into her promotion. Business trips of wives together with their bosses became another erosive element. As wives’ responsibility to corporations grew, childcare organizations replaced motherhood. These and other sociological changes which have undermined the family, the basic foundation of society, have been ignored in favor of feminist diatribes against male misogyny. 

The belief system essential to a functioning society has been under attack for many decades.

Increasingly over the decades, the function of education in every white ethnic country has been to demonize white ethnicities for racism, colonialism, and antisemitism. In order to make amends for white privilege’s harm to people of color and to the Jews for the holocaust, which might or might not have happened, white ethnicities are expected to accept racial privileges for people of color and Jews. To criticize a black in Scandinavia or England for rape can be a hate crime. To object in America to Netanyahu’s genocide of Palestinians is anti-semantic and can result in being expelled from University and fired from your job. 

In the United States, white heterosexual men have been replaced as a majority by women and people of color in media, medicine, law, and education. There is no longer a role for men in American society, except as villains who mistreat women, Jews, and people of color. The situation is similar throughout the disappearing western world. A country without need of its men has no future.

Today in America young boys grow up with without confidence of their role in society. They are forced to share their Little League baseball and Boy Scouts with girls, but there is no reciprocity. Females now surpass males as university graduates, thus crowding men out of their role as provider and protector.  Men’s colleges and universities, such as I attended at Georgia Tech , University of Virginia, and Oxford University, no longer exist. Prior to finding discrimination under every blade of grass, coeducation was understood as distracting from learning. Dorothy Sayers explained The Lost Tools of Learning in  1947, and with these tools went western civilization.

https://www.pccs.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/LostToolsOfLearning-DorothySayers.pdf#:~:text=For%20the%20sole%20true%20end,is%20effort%20spent%20in%20vain.

In the latest science fiction fantasies women in control of government manage robotic armies in conflict with foreign enemies. There are no men in the story.

In 2014 the population of Ukraine was 45 million people. Today the population is 19 million. In a decade, a white country has essentially disappeared. The female leaders of the European Union and European governments are preparing for a war with Russia, the consequence of which will be the further erasure of white ethnicities. The Camp of the Saints descending over the western world is self-inflicted.

Wherefore Art Thou America ?

21. Dezember 2025 - 14:54

Wherefore Art Thou America ?

Paul Craig Roberts

When I attended Georgia Tech, it was an engineering school with math, physics, and chemistry departments, a school of architecture, a school of design, and a school of industrial management. The student body totaled about 5000 and consisted almost entirely of Georgia young men. There were a handful of foreign students, and a handful of women in master degree programs that were not offered at women’s colleges. 

Georgia Tech was supported by Georgia taxpayers. As a Georgia resident, my tuition was about $450 a year, a price most parents could afford. For those who could not, Georgia Tech offered co-op programs. At that time, Georgia Tech was on a quarter system, not a semester system. The co-op program operated by attending school a quarter and working for a firm for a quarter. The work quarters produced the income for the students education. It took longer to graduate, but many graduates ended up working for the firms where they had been co-ops. In those days there was a demand for graduates that does not exist today. Every graduation at Georgia Tech was accompanied by recruitment booths setup by many American corporations in an effort to recruit Georgia Tech graduates as employees.

There was no such thing as, and no need for, student loans. No students in my day graduated in debt with loans equivalent to a mortgage payment.

In those days, if you graduated from Georgia Tech, the only employment question you faced was which of the many job offers you would accept. In my case, I decided on graduate school.  My GPA was barely a 3.0, but Georgia Tech’s reputation was such that I received offers of financial support, either scholarships or paid assistantships, from the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Virginia, and if memory serves John Hopkins University, the University of Minnesota and others. I chose Virginia, an absolutely beautiful campus of about 5500 students. Coats and ties were required for class attendance. And there was an honor system enforced by the students. The function of the university was to produce honorable and educated young men capable of carrying forward America’s future. Later, I sampled the coed university of California, Berkeley, a university of tens of thousands and at the time ranked with Harvard University, and then the men’s college of Merton at Oxford University. Compared to Georgia Tech, All subsequent universities were cakewalks.

I continue to receive the published propaganda from Georgia Tech, and I am pleased to see that the institution that taught me life was a serious issue has continued to prosper. But in the process of prospering, I have wondered if Georgia Tech has lost its character. For example, earlier in the 21st century I attended a graduation of a relative. As we walked the campus and I relived memories, we came upon call stations that said push the red button and the campus police will come to your rescue. I asked what this meant. He said that it is ordinary for tech students to be mugged on campus, allegedly by Atlanta blacks, not their own foreign students. I could not believe what he said.  It was inconceivable to me that the tough Georgia boys of my day were so intimidated by muggers from outside the Tech campus that they needed to call for police support. At the subsequent graduation ceremony, I understood the need for the red button call centers. A significant percentage of the graduates were petite Asian women.

As we walked the campus, we came upon my fraternity house, Phi Delta Theta. The colonial home sits on the hill, dominating the campus, as did the members of the fraternity in my time when there was no need of the massive combination lock on the front door. Phi Delta Theta was the home of the smartest Tech students and the football team, which in those days was nationally ranked every year.  Wade Mitchell, Tech’s quarterback and my fraternity brother, led Georgia Tech’s team to four bowl victories during his four years and graduated with a 4.0 point average. In those days to be a football player at Georgia Tech you had to be smart as there was no alternative curriculum. In those days there were only five postseason bowl games–the Sugar Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the Gator Bowl. Only the very best teams of the football season were invited to these events. Today there is a plethora of bowl games which amounts to nothing except a continuation of the football scene.

In those days, there were department chairman, a dean of students, a dean of faculty, and a president. Today there are endless administrative positions. From the latest information I receive as an alumni of Georgia Tech, the institution continues to evolve from the engineering and scientific origin that earned its reputation. Georgia Tech now has a School of History and Sociology and will offer Archaeology classes beginning in the spring of 2026. Georgia Tech has degrees in international relations and other such soft subjects, such as the Jimmy Carter School of Public Policy.  A photo of the next generation of entrepreneurs shows Indians, Muslims, and Hispanics. The Dunn Family Professor in the Scheller Collage of Business  is named Karthik Ramachandran. The President of Georgia Tech is Spanish born Ángel Cabrera Izquierdo, born in Madrid Spain. Even in the deep south American ethnics are disappearing from societal institutions.

The United States has evolved, or devolved, into a Tower of Babel, in which ethnic Americans are increasingly displaced in the society’s institutions.

To be clear, Georgia Tech president, Angel Cabrera, and the Dunnn family professor Ramachandran perhaps are the most competent holders of these positions, but they illustrate the multi-cultural Tower of Babel that is displacing the United States of America. 

Wherefore art thou America?
