“One has to pause and pay a little grief tribute to the fiendish and death-dealing turn of the environmental movement. Ireland’s dictate to kill 200,000 cows over the next three years being an excellent example. The functionaries of the movement have ranged through the earth destroying one rural economy after another, turning one forest or range to wildfire and invasive weed. In sharp contrast, soil restoration will not only bring back a healthy bio-system, turn food into its once nutritious self, restore rural life and ground water. Individual farmers and ranchers, not bureaucrats with failed ideas that are fifty years old and require bullying and gun-toting Bureau of Land Management rangers.
“This is how broken the earth is: denuded, poisoned, and packed tight by industrial agriculture, rainwater streams off to the sea, and tons of fertilizer must be added every year. Farmers must till deeper and deeper to find live earth to plant. In contrast, restoration means no weeding, no fertilizer, just the hooves of cattle and sheep that break the crust, and over years, with their manure, restore a lost community of arthropods beneath us.”
“In county after county, writes Elizabeth Nickson, “young men and women are doing just that.”
Fighting back. Careful stewardship can regenerate what is broken.
“The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable religious consequence the creation of masses of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as creed.”

American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
