The enemy within

Western countries, particularly the English-speaking  countries, face threats from a number of enemies within, including the Greens who want to de-industrialize the West, the anti-capitalist movements, Islamist groups seeking to replace Western-style democracy with the Sharia system and  Left-wing academics undermining Western cultural values and traditions.

The words of Roman philosopher, politician and orator, Marcus Tullius Cicero two thousand years ago were never more true than today.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

–Marcus Tullius Cicero
