Are We Witnessing the "Death Throes" of Western Civilization?
Conversation with writer & anthropologist Karen Harradine
This conversation with
covers a lot of ground. I started reading her work at the Conservative Woman during the past few years, where she writes about the prominent figures, supranational organizations, nation-states and psychosocial mechanisms driving civilization towards self-destruction.Just a week before the October 7th pogrom in Israel, Karen and
had just finished writing a five-part series called Antisemitism in the Freedom Movement. They warned that “the freedom movement is in danger of being discredited or ignored because of anti-Semitism if it carries on this way.”“Such misdirected and ill-informed rage over Israel and Jews serves only to divert attention away from the real violation of people’s democratic rights and freedoms – the ready transfer of authority, power and wealth from governments to supra-national elites and organisations including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, OSF, the World Economic Forum, the United Nations and its subsidiaries such as the World Health Organization.”
- Karen Harradine & Norman Fenton
Any student of history understands that the Jews are the canary in the coal mine. Abundant antisemitism and the persecution of Jews is an indicator that civilization stands on the abyss of self-destruction. It is a warning sign to change course, or else see the world plummet into even darker times.
On this podcast episode, Karen and I discuss the regression of humanity, the unification of Islamists and Western totalitarians, Woke tyranny, the United Nation’s history of antisemitic/anti-Israel bias, the role of foreign aid in funding terrorism, Western-funded terrorist indoctrination, and the rise of Iran and China as global superpowers, colluding with supranational organizations to the demise of Western Civilization.
The bottom line is that the people get what they ask for. As the mass mob grows larger, disillusioned ‘freedom fighters’ also become useful idiots for the collapse of civilization. All hope is not lost though— Karen offers potential solutions to change course.

Kate,
Great piece! I believe that the most important words in it are ‘useful idiots’. It’s the only way to properly describe the overwhelming majority of those that seek to bring down not only Israel, but Western Civilization. They are the product of Carter’s Department of Education. The failure is intentional, there’s no other explanation for how our education system has fallen to a mere shadow of what it was in 1980.

Always find your essays interesting. Especially the focus on western civilization.
West is combination of Hebrew religious morality and Greek intellectual philosophy. See Mathew Arnold.
Note this warning to Isreal by Isaiah (clearly applies equally to Christians) . . .
“Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good,
Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness,
Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
(What better way to describe the current social, cultural . . . confusion. )
Woe to those wise in their own eyes
And discreet in their own sight!
(Perfect psychological insight!)!
Woe to those who are mighty in drinking wine
And to the men who are masters at mixing alcoholic drinks,
(Probably not referring to liquid wine, but, moral incoherence)
Those who acquit the wicked for a bribe
And who deny justice to the righteous!
(Merit not from integrity , but, group approval)
Therefore, just as the tongue of fire consumes the stubble
And dry grass shrivels in the flames,
Their very roots will rot,
And their blossoms will scatter like powder,
(This is result, the root of civilization (the invisible moral reversal) are source of flourishing or destruction, will cause rot in the visible blossoms (life).
Because they rejected the law of Jehovah of armies
And disrespected the word of the Holy One of Israel.’’
Rejection (hatred) of Biblical law, adamant refusal to accept the moral, religious roots of the west, brings . . .
“Woe”’
Well . . . Was Isaiah right?
Who can deny this keen insight (prophecy)?
Thanks
