The Future Of Civilization

Between demographic trends, the rise of AI, and the nature of power, the possibilities can be very grim.

Jacob Fraden | May 20, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

For decades—perhaps since the era of the Vietnam War—America has lived under the shadow of what many call the “Deep State”: a hidden machinery of influence operating behind the façade of democratic institutions. One of Donald Trump’s central missions has been the struggle against this entrenched apparatus and the dismantling of its vision for humanity’s future. Though he has shaken the foundations of the establishment and achieved victories once thought impossible, the resistance has proven fierce, and the conflict remains unresolved.

Yet the American Deep State is merely the visible crest of a far larger iceberg—a closed club of rich and powerful. These individuals were never elected by the peoples of the world, yet through wealth, institutional control, and social prestige, they have formed an unofficial aristocracy—a closed World Elite Club seeking not merely influence, but stewardship over the future of civilization itself.

The presence of such a World Elite Club is discernible in organizations such as the World Economic Forum, the corridors of the United Nations, international banking institutions, intelligence networks, and the executive chambers of technological empires. Among them are billionaires, central bankers, hedge-fund magnates, ministers of finance, media architects, and the rulers of the digital sphere.

Human nature has always been driven by two ancient appetites: wealth and power. Everything else—including sensual pleasure—is secondary, because power and money themselves are the ultimate aphrodisiacs.

The members of the global elite already possess unimaginable wealth. Their remaining obsession is therefore inevitable: dominion over the future itself. And today, the future appears to be shaped by two colossal forces converging simultaneously: the intellectual decline of humanity and the explosive rise of artificial intelligence (AI). To seize control of these forces is, perhaps, the defining ambition of the World Elite Club.

The reason for the intellectual decline is a sharp reduction in fertility rates in developed countries and, as a result, an aging population. Civilizations, like organisms, die when they cease reproducing themselves.

In Japan, South Korea, the United States, Italy, Germany, and other developed countries in East Asia and Europe, the number of births per woman ranges from 0.7 to 1.7, far below the minimum replacement rate of 2.1. Countries with a fertility rate below 2.1 are doomed and, in 50-100 years, will either disappear or be completely transformed.

Meanwhile, across much of the underdeveloped world—sub-Saharan Africa, parts of South Asia, sections of Latin America, and many Muslim-majority regions—populations continue to expand rapidly, with a fertility rate of 4-6 children per woman. At the same time, mortality falls thanks to medical and financial aid from members of the World Elite Club. Thus emerges a dramatic demographic inversion: the developed world contracts while the underdeveloped world multiplies.

The consequence, according to this vision, is civilizational transformation. Over several generations, the cultural and intellectual profile of entire continents could change beyond recognition.

This is directly related to the intellectual decline of the world population because the intelligence of people in all underdeveloped countries is much lower than that of people in developed countries. Today, in European countries and the U.S., the IQ is in the range of 98-101, in Asia, 100-105, and in Israel, among Ashkenazi Jews, 103-115. On the other hand, people in underdeveloped countries are much less intelligent: in Somalia, the IQ is 68-72, in Niger 65-70, in India 76-82, and in Latin America, 82-96.

Hence, we arrive at the inevitable conclusion: if nothing significant happens, in 2-4 generations the demographic shift will lead to the extinction of developed countries, while growth in underdeveloped countries and uncontrolled migration to developed countries will lead to the dumbing down of the entire planet—there will be fewer smart people and more dumb people.

Of course, we are talking in statistical terms: the overwhelming majority of people will become stupider, but a relatively small percentage of smart and talented people will always remain.

While the natural intelligence of the world’s population is declining, the pervasive AI grows; that is, humanity is getting dumber, while AI is getting smarter, and it grows at an incredible rate in two directions: information processing and robotics.

In a not-so-distant future, AI will replace many human professions that require mental work: doctors, lawyers, scientists, inventors, journalists, writers, accountants, programmers, teachers, and many others. Professions that require manual work will also soon be replaced by AI robots: surgeons, nurses, construction workers, farmers, musicians, soldiers, and salespeople, etc.

A future begins to emerge in which billions of human beings become economically unnecessary. And then comes the terrifying question: What becomes of a civilization in which the majority of humanity is no longer needed for productive work?

The World Elite Club solution lies in the old imperial formula: divide and rule. If current trends continue for centuries, nation-states themselves may gradually dissolve into something else entirely. Borders blur. Populations merge. Humanity stratifies into rigid layers.

One could imagine a future world divided into three castes:

The Plebs—the vast majority (perhaps 99% of all), intellectually diminished, politically passive, sustained through entertainment, subsidies, algorithmic distraction, and dependency.

The Managers—a narrow administrative-technocratic class (no more than 1%) tasked with supervising the plebs through AI systems, surveillance networks, and robotic infrastructure.

The Elite—an extraordinarily small global aristocracy possessing knowledge, power, longevity technologies, and near-total control over planetary systems.

History may then complete a dark and ironic circle. The ancient Roman Empire understood the principle of managing the plebs: bread and circuses. Keep the intellectually inferior population entertained, fed, distracted, and emotionally stimulated, and political stability can be maintained.

In such a world, the masses may gradually cease to be viewed as citizens and instead become perceived as a logistical burden, so I can imagine that the Elite will find a way not only to limit the birth rate of the plebs but also, in the more distant future, to get rid of all these useless masses altogether, say, through their natural extinction.

In the future, humanity would not disappear entirely. Rather, it might contract into a tiny biological elite surrounded by intelligent machines, synthetic servants, cyborg systems, and autonomous networks. Yet the greatest danger may lie not in that distant age, but in the turbulent transition leading toward it.

There may come a time when millions—perhaps billions—of people find themselves economically obsolete, yet retain enough awareness to feel humiliation, resentment, and rage. A civilization drifting into purposelessness can become profoundly unstable. As the old American proverb warns: “An idle mind is the Devil’s playground.”

Such an era could become a time of unrest, fragmentation, violence, and spiritual collapse—a historical storm unlike anything humanity has previously endured. Whether the World Elite Club possesses either the wisdom or the moral restraint to navigate such a crisis remains an open question.

Immigration and its horrific consequences comes in all types and colors.

 

Seattle contemplates a state of emergency because of red state LGBTQ migrants

It’s not because the LGBTQers fleeing the south for Seattle are violent, it’s because—as is the case for illegal immigrants across America—they’re expensive.

Andrea Widburg | May 17, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

I first saw Seattle when I was a child. It was during the height of the hippie era, and I remember being struck by how clean Seattle was compared to San Francisco. My two or three subsequent trips to Seattle, all before 2012, didn’t change my mind. Now, though, Seattle has become a crazed left-wing bastion—but it turns out that even crazed left-wing bastions have their limits.

In Seattle’s case, the problem is the massive number of migrants flooding the city. But don’t be fooled into thinking that these are the same third-world illegal aliens destroying cities across America. These aren’t Tren de Aragua gangbangers, Mexican drug mules, Muslim fraudsters, or any of the other illegal aliens and faux refugees draining America’s collective bank account.

These are the Seattle kind of migrants: LGBTQ+ people fleeing Texas and other red states because those states are just too darn conservative. Yes, Seattle is facing a state of emergency because of homosexuals and gender confused people flooding its city borders. Apparently, the sanctuary concept only goes so far.

According to SGN, a Seattle-based LGBTQ+ focused outlet, Seattle is getting ready to declare a civil emergency because of this influx of gays and, more importantly, gender confused individuals:

On the Trans Day of Visibility last month, Seattle’s LGBTQ Commission submitted a letter of recommendation to the Mayor’s Office, City Council, and City Attorney’s Office that requested that City officials declare a civil emergency in response to the increasing number of Trans and Queer people fleeing hostile environments in other states.

An anonymous source told the SGN that the letter has since been received, and discussions between City officials and community members behind closed doors indicate Seattle is on the cusp of declaring a state of emergency for LGBTQIA+ refugees before Pride Month in June.

If you’re wondering why one of the most leftist cities in America is in panic mode because Southern non-heterosexuals are moving in, the answer is money. In a letter that the Seattle LGBTQ Commission wrote to the city government about the rising problem of “internally displaced persons,” the Commission explained that this influx of people “places pressure on community-based service providers, housing systems, and public health infrastructure. Community-driven efforts alone are insufficient to mitigate this emergent issue.”

Here’s how the money problem plays out: Washington State either pays for or subsidizes the insane cost of supporting medical procedures for people who want cosmetic surgery and hormones so that they can pretend to be the opposite of their biological sex. While Seattle doesn’t pay out of pocket, the welcome mat for these expensive mentally ill people imposes all sorts of indirect costs on the city. According to ChatGPT, these include:

·         Public health infrastructure through Public Health – Seattle & King County, which receives county, city, state, and federal funding and supports LGBTQ outreach, sexual health clinics, and community health access.

·         Grants and contracts to LGBTQ nonprofits and homelessness services that may assist transgender residents.

·         Municipal employee health insurance plans that include gender-affirming care for city workers.

·         Support for community programs, shelters, youth services, and anti-discrimination enforcement.

·         Public funding for some school-based wellness and counseling infrastructure through local education and public-health partnerships.

During the city’s tech heyday, those costs might not have been a problem. However, because Seattle’s drug and homeless policies have been driving away local businesses, the money isn’t flowing like it used to. Last year, Seattle projected an approximately $240 million budget shortfall for the 2025-2025 fiscal year. Even as businesses leave, though, it won’t stop spending—and Seattle’s socialist mayor, Katie Wilson, is unconcerned: Watch clip on X.

I knew that reality would eventually overtake leftist lunacy. I just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. I couldn’t be happier. This is the ripping-off-the-band-aid approach to helping Normals recover from their madness. We just have to hope that, at the end of the day, there are more Normals than crazy people.

It's already here, This devastating demographic 'take over' must be addressed and eliminated soon!

 

Europe is the canary in the coal mine, and Western Civilization is in serious jeopardy

“The Gaza Effect” is already here.

Susan Quinn | May 11, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

No matter how much the news fills with the conquest of Europe by the Islamic hordes, we think that in this country, their experience does not apply to us. After all, we are the most successful country in the world, and we celebrate our founding and freedoms more than any other nation; we are incredibly naïve and seriously at risk, as we study the Europeans’ downfall.

What made Europe so vulnerable to this takeover?

For one, they lauded multiculturalism. They heralded their own openness, generosity, and compassion for hundreds and thousands of third world foreigners, and Europe opened their doors. They finally realized that they’d been overrun by alien cultures that hold Westernism in disdain, and disrespect the rule of Western law. The question for the host countries was, what should they do now? It turns out that they were intimidated by these alien Muslims and the leftists, and they certainly didn’t want to admit that multiculturalism simply didn’t work.

Until it was too late.

Now that they realize that Muslims do not appreciate their hospitality, and certainly don’t want to become part of the culture of their hosts, the Muslims to a great degree have isolated themselves. Even if they don’t create exclusively Muslim neighborhoods, they tend to build relationships with other Muslims. The European population knows they have created their own prison overseen by lawless immigrants who have come to their countries:

In avoiding risk, the cowardly leaders of Western Europe – those sell-outs to an increasingly antagonistic extremist Muslim electorate upon whom they are increasingly dependent for political office -- are a disgrace to their nations. They are also a great disappointment to those who believe in the preservation of history's finest civilization – one with freedom, democracy, human rights, and an embedded Judeo-Christian moral foundation.

One community that demonstrates the slow destruction of the culture is that of the U.K. Muslims—they are angry that the U.K. is showing any support at all for Israel, and believes the British government has abandoned Gaza. Although the U.K. supported recognizing a Palestinian state (which, of course, doesn’t exist), the Muslims were not pacified by this action. The British Muslims support the Gazans, in spite of their current home. Support of Gaza has even invaded the local elections in the U.K.:

The Gaza effect will be felt more clearly in bigger cities like London and Birmingham, with surging support for the left-wing populist Green Party, which has made the Palestinian cause a key part of its platform, and a host of independent candidates, the majority Muslim and featuring explicitly pro-Gaza platforms. Vaseem Ahmed, an independent candidate in the London district of Redbridge, has appealed to Muslim voters to punish the party that ‘abandoned us on the altar of Zionism.’

[snip]

Ahead of this week’s elections, a poll conducted by the center-right think tank Policy Exchange in areas with high Muslim populations found that Gaza was the second most important electoral issue for British Muslims, after the cost of living and ahead of Islamophobia. A quarter of the 1,000 Muslims surveyed said Gaza was a leading issue in the coming local elections, compared with around 5% of the general British population, which ranked Gaza far below most other listed priorities, from the economy to immigration to welfare.

The U.K. is not alone in Europe in demonstrating that lack of assimilation and the lawlessness of the migrant Muslims. Recent statistics show alarming data in Germany. Violent crime is documented in never-seen-before numbers, including murder, rape, and theft.

You might wonder why the situation in Europe, and specifically in the U.K., has anything to do with the United States. Although Muslim immigration has been greatly reduced here, the Muslim population here is growing. Muslims are running for political office at federal, state and the local levels, and many are considering the plight of the Gazans as part of their agenda. Amidst the fraud perpetrated in Minnesota primarily by Somalis, some funds were being sent to Al Shabab, a terrorist organization.

People who have observed the migrant Muslim community in this country for years provide a dismal forecast for their future here:

In 2026, we’ve got somewhere between 4,000,000 and 6,000,000 Muslims enclaving in our communities across America. With over 2,600 mosques, they are building them at breakneck speed. Those mosques’ imams preach overthrowing America.

There’s even a Muslim named El-Sayed in Michigan running for U.S. Senator. If given enough power, he would install Sharia Law over our U.S. Constitution. He even said, and I’m a quoting him, ‘America deserved 9/11.’ In fact, given enough numbers in Congress, Muslims would use our Constitution to displace our Constitution.

We full-blooded Americans need to vote to outlaw Sharia Law. We need to deport any Muslim preaching or speaking out against America, such as the ones in Dearborn who are chanting, ‘Death To America.’

We need to stop all legal and illegal immigration into America before we face Islamic violence that ALWAYS follows when Muslims move into Western countries.

We need to take the Muslim invasion of Europe very seriously. The Europeans may differ from us in some ways, but they also represent the Western mentality and cultures that believe, for the most part, in freedom.

We must understand that we have been invaded, too.

Thousands of Churches Promote Immigration Lawlessness

Thomas Gallatin patriotpost.us 5-16-26

More than 5,000 churches claim sanctuary status in opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s efforts to carry out lawful orders.

“Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.” —1 Peter 2:13

That is an explicit command from the Apostle Peter to Christians to live in submission and obedience to local and national governing authorities. It is not to be taken as a suggestion but as a rule.

And the reason, as Peter notes in the proceeding verse, is to be a witness to the unbelieving world that “they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.”

Christians are to be known not only as a loving people but as a holy people who share the message of the Gospel — salvation through Jesus Christ — with everyone. And the Bible is clear that everyone includes both friend and foe.

Sharing the good news of the Gospel is the church’s primary mission. It’s not societal transformation or the construction of some form of heaven on earth. Christians recognize that they are ambassadors representing Christ’s kingdom and his coming reign.

Unfortunately, a corrupt human-centric worldliness has infected and taken over a significant number of American churches, and in so doing has turned Christianity on its head. This liberal “Christianity” has usurped biblical fidelity, replacing it with a leftist social ideology promulgated under the guise of the Christian commitment to love and do justice.

American Christian theologian and apologist J. Gresham Machen identified this liberal Christianity as not being genuinely Christian at all, but rather an entirely new religion. Machen wrote that liberal Christianity “seeks to spread the blessings of Christian civilization (whatever that may be), and [is] not particularly interested in leading individuals to relinquish their pagan beliefs.”

To put it more bluntly, liberal Christianity has rejected and replaced the worship of God with the worship of man.

This is how our nation ends up with thousands of churches deluded into declaring themselves “sanctuaries” against immigration enforcement. It seems that they misunderstand the word “sanctuary.”

Some 5,320 churches across the country have designated themselves as places where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are not allowed. Among these churches are the American Baptist Churches USA, the Alliance of Baptists, and the Metropolitan Community Churches. Ironically, some of these churches have sought legal protection for illegal aliens. How about that for a twisted sense of justice — using the legal code in an effort to protect lawbreakers?

Practically, when it comes to immigration enforcement operations, ICE doesn’t target churches. Instead, as the Center for Immigration Studies’ Jessica Vaughan notes, “Most of their work is done in jails or in carefully planned fugitive operations. They’re not patrolling the streets or looking to arrest people on their way to church or who are attending church.”

The only reason ICE may show up on church property would be in pursuit of an individual previously identified as a criminal alien. In other words, ICE agents don’t stake out churches hoping to round up some illegals who may show up there.

Given this reality, why would so many churches advertise themselves as “sanctuaries” for illegals?

Simply put, it’s a virtue signal aimed at their congregations. Vaughan observes, “They want to signal that they’re trying to protect people in their congregations, but more than likely those are not going to be people that ICE is chasing.”

They have also used their sanctuary declaration to explain dwindling rolls, claiming that fear of ICE has led to fewer people showing up in the pews.

As noted above, Christians are called to obey the governmental authorities that God, by His providence, has placed over them. The only time Christians are justified and even duty-bound to disobey such authorities is when they are explicitly directing people to disobey God’s moral law.

There is no scriptural prohibition against nation-states and borders. There is nothing in Scripture that declares that people are free to move and live anywhere and in any country of their choosing without hindrance or process. Freedom to abide anywhere one desires is not a God-given right.

Furthermore, the U.S. does provide a means for foreigners to legally visit, reside, and even immigrate. Those who refuse to follow our nation’s laws do not get a pass legally because someone feels sorry for them. We may sympathize with the hungry thief who steals a bag of chips to satiate his hunger, but that does not justify his breaking the law.

Similarly, the person who illegally enters and resides in the U.S. is not justified simply because he is seeking a better life.

Scripture teaches that law and order matter. Christians should be people who are fastidious about following the law while also having a spirit that’s quick to forgive.
