Can Our Civilization Survive Its Betrayal By Elites?
The article questions whether Western civilization can survive what it describes as a betrayal by elites, citing rising crime and lenient sentencing in cases involving migrants. It highlights specific cases in Norway and Sweden where migrants convicted of rape received light sentences or avoided deportation. The author argues that these incidents reflect a broader cultural decline and a failure of leadership in addressing crime and immigration.
- ▪A Syrian migrant in Norway who raped a 13-year-old girl was sentenced to six months in prison due to a claimed low IQ.
- ▪Norwegian law was recently changed to remove the minimum three-year sentence for rape, allowing for suspended sentences.
- ▪A Swedish court ruled that an Eritrean migrant who raped a 16-year-old girl would not be deported because the assault was deemed too brief.
- ▪The article claims that sexual assault rates in London have increased by 400%, attributing the rise to migrant crime.
- ▪Official data in Europe is allegedly being suppressed to downplay the link between migration and rising rape statistics.
