EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION  IS CIRCLING THE DRAIN

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report.  Today is Friday, January 12, 2018, and on today’s Report, I will be talking about some recent events in Europe and the Middle East, and what these events say about the future of Europe, especially France.  From the title of this Report, you may be thinking, “he’s given up on happiness and gone off the deep end again”, but before you jump to that conclusion, just hear me out.

First of all, I have made a commitment to talk about Europe in these Reports as often as possible because European Civilization is Western Civilization, and that is our civilization, at least it once was.  Our story this week began in the New York Times Sunday Edition of December 17, 2017, when that paper carried a front page story about the new Crown Prince in Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman. You should remember him from the recent Report I did concerning his appointment by King Salman as his successor, as well as his efforts to reform Saudi society.

It seems that the young Prince, age 32, has gone abroad looking for places to put his country’s wealth and France is one of the lucky recipients.  There are many landmarks in France that represent French history and, as the tour guides will tell you, the landmarks also remind us of the glory of the age of kings.  The most prominent and famous, and a symbol of France itself, is the Palace of Versailles.  Louis XIV built Versailles as his permanent home during his 72 year reign, and now it is perhaps the structure that, except for the Eiffel Tower, is most representative of France and the French people.

Next to Versailles once sat another château, also built by Louis XIV, on 57 manicured acres of gardens.  These Chateaus are more than just symbols or landmarks, they represent the history of a once great nation, and more importantly, they should be the property of the French people who built and paid for them with their labor and blood.  But nevertheless, in 2009, one Chateau was bulldozed and a new, high-tech Chateau Louis XIV was built in its place by Emad Khashoggi, nephew of the late billionaire arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi.  The new Chateau recently sold for $300 million to a mystery purchaser, but a little research by the New York Times revealed the purchaser to be the Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman.

Does this mean that France has sold its soul?  Perhaps it means that France has sold its history, culture, and the nation itself as well as its soul.  France is no longer even a nation-state, and it has been reduced to just a place where people live.  No borders, and as the new prime minister, Emmanuel Macron, said, no culture.  France sells its national treasures to the highest bidder without regard to whom or what that bidder is.  There is no regard whatsoever of history, culture, tradition or religion.  None of those things exist anymore since they have been exchanged for a new multicultural, open society where everything goes because nothing matters.

Ethics, the foundation of civilization, has been destroyed, or at least abandoned, almost everywhere but especially in France.  The new multicultural socialist state is fostered on the people, and they absorb it and embrace it because from early childhood they have been indoctrinated with the belief that all truth is just a matter of opinion and absolute truth does not exist.  Right and wrong then are just matters of opinion, and opinions can change from day-to-day.  Government is free and encouraged to do whatever appears necessary, without exception or limit.
