The United States of America has a problem, and as is often the case, when America has a problem, the whole world has a problem. Of course, America has more than one problem, but the focus of this article is the collapsing of civilization. In certain parts of the world, the collapse of civilization has been the goal since the late 1940s. But more on that in a moment. However, the collapse of civilization in America is a relatively new phenomenon.
The rise and fall of civilizations is nothing new to human history. The cycle of civilizations is demonstrated in the Christian Bible, and the cycle has continued to modern times. Civilizations do not have to collapse. From here on, my focus will be on western civilization, rather than try to cover all civilizations.
Western civilization is based on the basic principles of the Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments. As long as the standards of the Ten Commandments are upheld, western civilization is perpetuated and its citizen prosper. When a western culture drifts away from those principles, that culture finds itself on the slippery slope toward the collapse of civilization.
Two more commandments.
“The most important is ‘the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. ‘The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” ~ Jesus Christ- Mark 12.29-31
These 12 commandments are the very key to western civilization. These commandments put “civil” into civilization. The most important, in my humble opinion, is: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Christianity has always been a love driven religion and that is why Christian countries have always thrived, been the leaders of the free world, and where most advances benefiting humanity originated.
Since World War II, socialist elements in Europe have been working to undermine Christianity and Judeo-Christian values. In most respects, Europe has been on the slippery slope of cultural and societal decline for nearly 75 years. In 2025, all evidence seems to suggest that 2,000 years of European civilization is about to end in several European countries, with several more countries in the danger zone. Christianity is being replaced by a barbaric 7th century culture that has always been driven by hate of every other culture. If this trend is not stopped, historic European natives are in for hard times that will make the European Dark Ages look like a picnic.
Since the turn of the 21st century, both America and Canada have found themselves on the slippery slope Europe has been on. Poorly regulated, and for a time unregulated in America, immigration policy has allowed foreign invaders to legally and illegally enter our countries. Many of these people who have crossed our borders have ill intent and want to make our countries like the barbaric places they hail from, repeating what is happening in Europe.
"If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." ~ Plato
What must we do to get ourselves off that slippery slope? I believe the assassination attempts on President Trump and the assassination of Charlie Kirk have started the needed social revolution. Americans are seeing a resurgence in Jewish synagogue and Christian church attendance, which is the key to reasserting Judeo-Christian values in our culture and society. Americans are recognizing the nonsensical behavior and positions advocated by the socialist Democrat Party. Americans are also recognizing exactly how much better their lives are getting as a result of having Donald J. Trump as the American President. Just as important, younger Americans are taking an interest in government.
“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." ~ Abraham Lincoln
The Democrat Party has only succeeded because of its success at keeping enough people fooled. Those days are over because the socialist Democrats have gone too extreme on so many things. The majority of Americans will never believe a man can become a woman or that women can fairly compete in sports with biological men. Democrat lies are simply not working any more.
It is important that civility find its way into American politics if civilization is to survive.

In many of these positions I repeatedly took an oath to defend the United States Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
