Statues

Robert E Lee spoke against the idea of erecting monuments to commemorate the war. He thought the money would be better spent to help so many southern poor who were still starving in the aftermath of the war. He wanted the wounds to heal. To force the tearing down these works of art through civil or more violent means in most case is nothing more than political posturing and virtue signalling. This habit of force is pandemic in these protesters and many who oppose them, do not have the courage to end slavery in their own time.
Those who violently want to destroy, censor and cancel the conversation are the ones who engage in hate, willing to open wounds, and divide the people for mere emotional benefits in vain posturing of self righteousness rather than free their neighbor by taking back responsibility for their own lives.
The Masses are not be willing to see the whole truth and provide for it, but know this, you should "Never trust the spirit that comes to take and destroy by force."

Statues and History

People want to destroy statues that are works of art because they think that will make things better. That, of course, is nonsense. That is also true of those who are destroying statues in Europe or flags in the south.

Is this vandalism justified, warranted or wise?

They correlate the destruction of statues of Hitler or Stalin and Lenin and justify that tearing down of symbols as if they have reached a more "woke" view of the world. They are attacking these monuments and even flags because they say they are "offended". The same spirit that wants to do away with a statue or a flag is the same spirit that does not want you to have the right to speak or express what you are thinking.

The manifestation of this modern cancel culture is nothing more than the natural progression of anti-free-speech spirit that festers among those who are self righteous. Because their identity is so entwined in their ideology any thing that contradicts their narcissistic faith is perceived by them as an enemy. Today they ban speech, rewrite history, and topple statues but tomorrow, if they gain power, they will imprison their opponents and eventually fire up their ovens.

Columbus was not commemorated because evil men came with him or after him. Nor was he a great navigator but he did have the courage to explore the possibilities. He was man. Like us all, containing both good and bad, he struggled. Some saw him as a threat and a destroyer but to others he was a savior.

If slavery and oppression has been such a universal practice throughout history my first question would be where does this destructive behavior come from and then how does it end?

Almost all famous people of the past engaged in slavery, Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, and of course all of Sparta, who brutally enslaved most of their nation, and of without question Caesar who plundered the flesh of Gaul stabbing at the heart of its own republic. You could say they were all white but most Muslims including Prophet Muhammad himself engaged and promoted slavery. Most of the tribes of Africa including the Zulu king Shaka brutally enslaved vast numbers. More white slaves were sold in North Africa than Africans were sold in America.

The statues of Columbus or Robert E Lee and many others were created as works of art to commemorate the good in men because "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." The question of what is good and what is evil is the beginning of all conflicts.

Their mere presence may give rise to debate and in an environment of free speech reason may flourish since, these statues represent different things and ideas to different people.

Even the statues of Hitler or Stalin and Lenin can remain as reminder of where bad ideas can take a society on a road to self destruction. Stalin and Lenin were the first to cancel culture and revise history.

Tyrants prosper where ignorance prevails.

And there is no ground more fertile for tyrants than where the people are accustomed to taking from others.

Freedom grows where the individual allows and allows others to speak, and see, and hear freely the opinions of others. If one statue may represent different things to many people we can ask "What happened to diversity and inclusion?"

Was every American that fought on the side of the south during the Civil War evil racists?

Can you actually divide humanity into good and evil by geography?

The victor of a war often gets to write its history. Every conflict includes both good and evil. While it may be convenient to divide whole nations or sides of every conflict into good or evil it is generally both over simplistic and naive if not unjust, counter productive, and destructive to all. What is driving this desire to destroy and cancel is not righteousness but rather Ideological subversion.

Graven images

The Protestant Reformation had is iconoclast which defaced and destroyed statues as well. That Spirit of destruction hurt the reformation and all those who engaged in such destruction.

Note: Statues and Graven images of the Bible are not the same thing. see Graven images or even the golden calf.

A mob is born

It is true that we should not be so accepting of the propaganda of victors. But the true historical account of the events and the motivations of the people during the war between the States may be far from what people are being taught or just want to believe today.

Neither nations nor races are guilty of evil accept in an academic sense. In truth only individual can choose to do or not do evil or we see in most cases the individual who slothfully or because of cowardliness allows evil a free reign to prevail is the most wicked of us all.

We should always try to deal in facts and the underlying causes and motivations of people as individuals when looking at history or for justice. It is the individual who writes history with the sweat and blood of their lives. There is no brush so broad that it can paint a large group or a nation or a race without doing injustice.

We should study history to learn from the mistakes of individuals so that we as individuals do not repeat those mistakes in our own lives.

Real history is the Human experience and that is complicated because humans are complicated. They are seldom just good or bad. When you divide whole groups of people into north and south or Germans and Americans, or Jews and Palestinians or White and Black, you start getting into trouble. That is where the mob is born and evil thrives.

Crowds turn into mobs when individuals lack courage, integrity, forgiveness and the righteousness of the giver of life. If the individuals lack forgiveness, which must be practiced, they will lack love. Without love mobs bite one another and become beast devouring who they will. If you are a part of or just with a mob emotion has become the ruler of the day and the voice of reason is drowned out by the cries for justice which give life to the specters of injustice.

The innocence of Scout could not have saved Atticus Finch if he did not have the courage to stand against the mob.

Countries of the South

There were racists in the south and the north but most of the people fighting in the south against the people who came from the north were clearly patriots fighting for their country and "State's rights".

Some are still saying "The American Civil War started due to the secession of Southern states who then went on to form a new federal government, the Confederate States of America." There are several reasons why this is a distortion of the history of governments.

The Southern states had the right to secede from the Union. They were simply going back to a Confederation, not a federal government, like the Americans States had before the federal Constitution.

States, before and after the federal Constitution was created, were “as foreign to each other as Mexico is to Canada.” Clark’s Summary of American Law, Constitutional Law.

After the Revolutionary war each State had its own government. They formed a confederation through the Articles of Confederation. What that means can only be understood by a deeper understanding of the conflict between these to forms of governments and the status of the States and their citizens. Flags and statues or phrases and slogans do not impart that understanding.

A Yankee soldier reportedly asked his Confederate prisoner: 'Why do you fight us so hard, Reb?" The response was simple, "Because you are here, Yank.”

The Confederate Soldier was a patriot of his state. He saw his state as his country for he was a citizen of the State. To many of them they saw the federal government taking a path most American feared when the US Constitution was first promoted by a minority of Americans.

It was the factories, money, and navy that won the war for the north. There were courageous men on both sides of the conflict. To say that it was a "war to end slavery" is devoid of understanding as smashing statues as if you are some kind of advocate of freedom by doing so. Before you judge men of history and whole nations you should find out who they were and what they were doing.

Even Lincoln knew the south could go, but they could not pick federal apples on their way out. They also had to pay debts to merchants with just weights and measures. These two sentence are at the root of the motivation for many to go to war. And then there is the profit and power wars may bring.

To think the war was fought to free slaves may make people feel better about the destruction of the lives of so many people living in the South and the death of 600,000 Americans but it was still a blight on the history of humanity.

Most of those who suffered and died never owned slaves or profited from their bondage. In fact slavery as a cheap source of labor impoverished more so called white people than it made rich. Many in the south wanted to see slavery end for a variety of reasons.

Only 4% of Americans even owned slaves. Some of those slave owners were Blacks and Indians. You could have bought all the slaves and set them free for far less than the war cost without all the death and destruction.

Who financed the first army that marched into the south?

How many Federal Officers were with them and how many died?

The answer is one US Officer was with them and he is the only one who died. They were not there to free the slaves and he was not killed because he was going to free slaves. They were there for the money.

The officer who was an observer was killed because he wanted to take down the flag of the confederacy flying on the roof of a hotel. The hotel manager that shot him was immediately killed with a sword of the man next to him.

It might be called idolatry to hold an object dearer than another mans life. Such extreme reverence is certainly misplaced. But there is something almost delatorius, even demonic, to imagine that the destruction of those objects or symbols can be hailed as virtue.

We also revere the constitution that moved American states from a confederation to a Federal form of government. But do we understand what that means and meant to Americans at that time.

Confederate vs Federal

In the days before the Civil War people were a citizen of the State they lived in not citizens of the United States. State citizens were not the "We the People " of the US Constitution. They were not even a party to it. Numerous cases verify that fact.

The men who signed the Constitution of the united States beginning “We the People” had been given no authority to sign anything, much less invent a new government. At the time they scratched their John-Hancocks to that parchment, “We the People” consisted of the names on that document. Patrick Henry, who opposed the Constitution, aptly asked “Who authorized them to speak the language of ‘We the People’, instead of ‘We the States’?”.Prior to the Fourteenth Amendment, “No private person has a right to complain, by suit in court, on the ground of a breach of Constitution. The constitution it is true, is a compact, but he is not a party to it. The states are party to it”.

If the individual freeman was not a party to the Constitution, then the constitution was not “a government of the people” or “by the people”, at least as “private persons” but only those people who signed the compact and those state governments in their limited and legal capacity. If the Constitution is a compact or contract then there is no contract or contracting away of rights of the people in general at its signing or ratification. Those who signed did not have the rights of the people in their possession at the time. The States could invest no rights in the Federal government that were not theirs to begin with and if they did so they would have to do it according to the contract that granted their existence. In any case the people were not a party to the Constitution.
“Hence the attempt of the constitution to establish a federal government, without these natural souls, was preposterous, unnatural, and void...”

Today, many consider the constitution as sacred - but not those who had won a great freedom through a century of sacrifice and hardship. They feared and opposed this Constitution of the United States. And that generation who had secured their free dominion against an unwarranted usurpation and tyranny opposed those “great words” and its compact. They did not war against it because it was not a compact with them nor did it have much influence over them or their lives at that time.

• “Just as the revolutionary Adams opposed the Constitution in Massachusetts, so did Patrick Henry in Virginia, and the contest in that most important State of all was prolonged and bitter. He who in Stamp Act days had proclaimed that there should be no Virginians or New Yorkers, but only Americans, now declaimed as violently against the preamble of the Constitution because it began, ‘We the People of the United States’ instead of ‘We, the State’. Like many, he feared a ‘consolidated’ government, and the loss of states rights. Not only Henry but much abler men, such as Mason, Benjamin Harrison, Munroe, R.H. Lee, were also opposed and debated... others in what was the most acute discussion carried on anywhere...”

• “Owing to the way in which the conventions were held, the great opposition manifested everywhere, and the management required to secure the barest majorities for ratification, it seems impossible to avoid the conclusion that the greater part of the people were opposed to the Constitution.”

• “It was not submitted to the people directly, and in those days of generally limited suffrage, even those who vote for delegates to the State conventions were mostly of a propertied class, although the amount of property called for may have been slight.”

In 1787, when the Constitution was ready to be submitted to the Governors of the states for ratification, Patrick Henry lectured against it in the Virginia State House for three weeks, criticizing the Constitution, warning that it had been written “as if good men will take office”! He asked “What will they do when evil men took office?”! “When evil men take office, the whole gang will be in collusion”, he declared, “and they will keep the people in utter ignorance” and “seize the public liberties by ambuscade”. He further warned that the new federal government had too much money and too much power and it would consolidate power unto itself, converting us “into one solid empire”. And the President with the treaty power would “lead in the treason”.

People do not take the time to really learn history. You do not and have not been taught it in your schools and universities which have become propaganda machines. Smashing statues is a pointless exercise and nothing more than virtue signaling, especially if you do not want to find out the deeper causes and motivators of the actions of humanity, both good and evil.

You must look deeper into the lives and hearts of your fellow man and care about his pain in a way that might make him and his life better. To do that you may have to look deeper into your own heart and mind.

If you want to smash statues of pro slave owners then you need to destroy Grants Tomb. Robert E Lee freed the slaves he inherited before the Civil War started. Grant on the other hand did not do that with his slave until after the war.

Ever Changing

Thing are changing as they have already changed.

History is the story of individual men and their relationship with other men and the elements of the world. The elements of the world includes the laws and institutions that men establish for themselves.

History is complicated because relationships are complicated. The people who are bound by love and sacrificed for one another form unbreakable social bonds in society but those who bind the loyalty of society by "gift, gratuities, and benefits" and other means are easily divided.

“All government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery!” Jonathon Swift

Black people risked their lives to save white people and white people did the same to save black people by the millions. The same is true of native Americans. The same stories are rampant in the colonies and countries throughout history. As soon as you label a group with the actions of a single individual you become a racist and bigot. It is always dangerous to start identifying people by groups it is a disaster when you do it by geography, or race, or even religion.

They also fought for the rights of the individual because only the individual is endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. That was not only self evident but it was once hailed as the foundation of the American way.

Thousands of Germans risked their lives to save Jews. 10 of thousands lost their lives resisting Hitler and his political and social schemes. Some served his government. In fact, the ideology of the Nazi party were not only in Germany but all over the world. Certainly the philosophy of the socialist were everywhere.

Comments

Prussia was the first country in the world to require state certification of teachers when they offered free, and to some extent compulsory elementary education as early as 1871.

In 1919, the Weimar Republic re-introduced compulsory school attendance, what they called allgemeine Schulpflicht.

But it was the Third Reich in 1938 that passed laws that added criminal penalties for anyone attempting to educate their own children. What allows the State to make it a crime for parents to teach there own children?

When the Federal Republic of Germany was created in 1949, the compulsory attendance idea made its way into Article 7 of the Grundgesetz, constitution because the spirit of the Nazi thinking was not defeated.

In September 2006, the European Court of Human Rights upheld the German ban on homeschooling. The socialist European court argued that parents can’t use religion to justify homeschooling in Germany.

This is because none of the Churches teach pure Religion and so the people are merchandise of the State and they curse children as human resources of the state. Their covetous practices of socialism have made parent and child a surety for debt.

There are more than a dozen streets in Germany named Rommel, at least one or more army barracks and some statues and busts. Germany systematically destroyed statues of Nazis but many of the laws created by Hitler are still in place.

You go to prison if you try to home-school your children just for one.

Does destroying the statues of the past change the course of human events?

Does it repair the human heart to wreak revenge upon an object that never had life in it to begin with while you neglect the living?

People are virtue signaling and posturing in self righteousness but in truth they desire to free no one. They are not accustomed to sacrificing for the living and have no desire to do so. In fact, they not only are willing to become perfect savages having become accustomed to living at the expense of others but desire that a livelihood be provided them at by the property of others.

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude…shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to its jurisdiction”. Article XIII Constitution for the United States.

Slavery in many forms have been prominent in the history of the world in many forms. In the book History of Slavery, Susan Everett she writes, “Slaves never became an important ingredient of Egyptian civilization. The large subject population and enforceable corvée system - by which serfs had to work temporarily as slaves - made a permanent force of slaves unnecessary.”

Every citizen of the United States is a numbered slave like in the days of the bondage of Egypt. They are members of a corvee system of statutory labor, where the amount of the labor they must do without compensation is determined by the legislature.

The way into such a system is desiring benefits at the expense of others which are covetous practices we were warned about. It would make us merchandise and for debt and curse children with that debt as surety.

The ideology of Socialism includes the collective ownership and distribution of the means of production through political means. While some countries moderate their socialist agenda allowing some free market ultimately the labor of the people belongs to the State, not the individual.

The means of production is not just the land, the factories, and business but includes the people themselves as Human Resources.

“Whatever day makes man a slave, takes half his worth away.” Homer - Odyssey. Bk.XVII. L.392. Pope’s trans.

We have come to a point in time where no one can get a job, a bank account, even government identification to drive or fly unless you become a member of a numbered system of employees. That number is connected to almost every beneficial program or economic activity in the country by law. The number makes you a part of a Social Security system. That number has become so essential all over the world that without it you might not live.

Almost everyone all over the world is dependent on the identification number offered in every country and linked by treaty desires and depends upon the men who call themselves Benefactors but give nothing but what they take from others. They do not love their neighbor as themselves but covet their neighbors goods.

The people shoving over statues and protesting past slave owners whose sins are interred with their bones would not give up that number nor any of the benefits provided by that system to set their neighbor free.

“Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen,… and wheat, and beasts… and slaves, and souls of men.” (Revelation 18:10, 13)

Individual vs Collective

Only individuals "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights". To "secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" or their application for benefits and even their slothful acquiescence.

Socialism sees individualism as an enemy of the State. Individuals are created in the family and some of that animus for the individualism will seek to undermine the autonomy of the family in every socialist state.

Te narrative today in the media and academy and therefor in the minds of the people is the problems and dangers in the Black community are the result of White supremacy and systemic abuses of the police.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a socialist long before Hitler dawned his famous Toothbrush Mustache. Between FDRand LBJ they did more damage to America than Hitler. Their socialist approach to American politics and culture has enslaved more people than the slave traders and killed more Blacks than the KKK.

The real threat to Black lives is not the police and certainly not white supremacists, which have been getting harder and harder to find.

Statistics are clear that the greatest threat to Black lives today is Black crime if not abortion. Margaret Sanger targeted the African American community and tried to get its members to reduce the number of children per family. FDR's New Deal used to crises of the Great to Secure popularity and power prolonging the crises and suffering. Lyndon Baines Johnson, often referred to by his initials LBJ targeted the black community with his War on poverty and Great Society programs to secure votes for the Democratic party. Cloward and Piven targeted the black and poor communities to bankrupt the system to, create crises of violence and establish a communist government. Black Lives Matter donates almost a billion dollars to Democratic candidates and was founded by professing communists. All were socialists who desired power and were willing to exploit the fears and passions of the poor to obtain that power.

If you do not know that you are listening to the wrong news sources or have been brainwashed in the schools you have attended. It is your responsibility to alter your own falsely perceived notions about who is killing Blacks and why. But it is most important for you to understand what you must do about it if you want things to change.

The election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 led to a shift of black voting loyalties from Republican to Democrat, as Roosevelt's New Deal socialist programs seem to promise economic relief to people suffering from the Great Depression. In truth serious economist agree that those programs only delayed the recovery and prolonged the depression and therefore the suffering.

The Black community had 3% single parent families 40 years after slavery. Enmity between races and nations has existed all over the world. It has ebbed and flowed with different generations. While there was clearly was a stronghold of support for racism against blacks in the south there were always Attica Finch struggling to bring balance.

Only 7% of black children were born in single parent families before 1964 despite Jim Crow laws and acts of persecution and abuse.

But suddenly by 2014 the Black children in single parent homes had risen to 73% and was still climbing. What happened?

This is a direct result of the welfare state that began with FDR and by LBJ who targeted the Black community to secure their vote. The cure was worse than the disease and it devastated the Black community by undermining the Black family.

The drive toward socialism of the Great Society of LBJ seeded into the field of America has divided the Black community into fatherless family . The condition of black poverty and crime in America is not the product of slavery or even bigotry but socialism.

“If we want better people to make a better world, then we will have to begin where people are made in the family.” J.M. Braude.
You can neither repair the family nor society unless you repent of the covetous practices of Socialism.

People are conquered by their own greed, covetousness and sloth long before any tyrant seizes power. Nature abhors a vacuum and vices are nothing more than what occurs in the absence of virtue.

While we all originally had free choice we did not all have the wisdom to make that free choice for our mutual benefit. Governments are created by man, but men are often recreated by governments. The mob makes the recreation easier.

You cannot legislate morality unless you are willing to become tyrant.

Is Larry Elder an Uncle Tom? Who or what is harming and destroying the black community?
https://youtu.be/vbhFubiFiqg 56 minutes

"All too often when liberals cite statistics, they forget the statisticians' warning that correlation is not causation." Thomas Sowell

Any fact or even the "messenger" who points to a fact that contradicts the theory of major racial oppression is called an enemy, an "Uncle Tom", or a racist. Like religious zealots who use their ideology to justify themselves, despite their weakness and frailties or fallacies, will gather their "pitchforks and torches" and desire to burn you at the stake even if they set the whole world on fire.

"If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today." Thomas Sowell

This idea that racism is the cause of the plight of the Black-man was financially lucrative for many who depended on continuing racial friction or the appearance of it. Men have depended on keeping the people at odds from Caesar to Al Sharpton.

"Over the generations, black leaders have ranged from noble souls to shameless charlatans." Thomas Sowell

Could the victim of racism become a racist?

"I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him." Booker T Washington

Without a culture of forgiveness, and a regular call to forgive, you will become like those whom you are insisting upon hating.

"If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else." You will not be able to do that until you forgive them first.

"For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." Matthew 7:2

"Of all forms of slavery there is none that is so harmful and degrading as that form of slavery which tempts one human being to hate another by reason of his race or color." – Booker T. Washington

Those who preach any other gospel than love and forgiveness lead the people away from liberty under God. Only the truth will set you free.

"The time is long overdue to stop looking for progress through racial or ethnic leaders. Such leaders have too many incentives to promote polarizing attitudes and actions that are counterproductive for minorities and disastrous for the country." Thomas Sowell

Assigning collective guilt may be simple or even comforting but it may be expensive in social capital. Focusing our attention on the negative may graft negative into our own mind. To do so with resentment, judgment and angry unforgiveness may draw us into the very thing we claim to hate.

Booker T Washington knew that "At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence." He knew to whine and complain or just think of yourself as a victim whether real or imagined is destructive. To desire benefits without working for them and becoming dependent upon those gratuities would degenerate and destroy the very character of the people.

"I have begun everything with the idea that I could succeed, and I never had much patience with the multitudes of people who are always ready to explain why one cannot succeed." – Booker T Washington

"I would say: “Cast down your bucket where you are.” Cast it down, making friends in every manly way of the people of all races, by whom you are surrounded." Booker T Washington's “Atlanta Compromise” address or “Cast down your bucket" speech

Heroes admired

Heroes exemplify cherished values, display qualities we admire, show us how to overcome challenges – and call us to stand up for others. They help build a better world for us all. ... Talking to your children about heroic qualities (empathy, courage, compassion, sacrifice of self for causes which are measured more important than personal comfort) and all the people who are displaying those qualities right now sows the seeds of those social virtues in the minds of your children.

When that admiration degenerates to veneration there is a danger of the development of hero cults

Hero cults like the philosopher Epicurus can lead to a form of public religion like the Imperial Cult of Rome which degenerates the people of society through its covetous practices and raises the power of government to dangerous levels.

Yet the stories of heroes can remain an important part of the development of the next generation if a healthy approach to all social virtues is maintained.

Killing Heroes

Tearing Down Statues Of Heroes is an attack on the courage of the next generation.

Tear down those heroes, focus on their frailties rather than their achievements, and you rob your coming generation of a natural path to the development of social skills and values.

Carl Jung's idea of archetypes inherited as unconscious images, ideas, or thoughts, are retained in our genetic memories through our common experiences warns us that affirmation of those values comes in stages of development of the human mind.

Those images include both heroes and demons. If we are robbed of our heroes, we are left with our demons.

Our first heroes are those who rescue us from the elements of hunger and pain while we are helpless in our crib. From that nurturing and protection, the love, appreciation and admiration of all heroes and heroines begins to grow.

"The legacy of heroes — the memory of a great name, and the inheritance of a great example." — Benjamin Disraeli

Presumably our parents and caregivers, even brothers and sisters, touch the roots of those genetic connections of our ancestral past.

The sacrifices of untold generations of our ancestors remain recorded deep in the cells of the human genome and call to be awakened in each of us to forge the heroic pattern and pathways in our own DNA.

The stories of heroes reveal and reaffirm those values and moral qualities, reinforcing our views of right and wrong. Our popular stories and fables serve a didactic purpose, showing us the desired behaviors that are needed to succeed in life and society, and defeat those demons or destructive elements of the world.

“Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory there would be no civilization, no future.” — Elie Wisel

Heroes grow in us as we grow to become adults we admire. In the love of our cherished heroes loses its unknown sting.

"The brave die never, though they sleep in dust, their courage nerves a thousand living men." — Minot J. Savage

They are our model and may cause us to physically reject the qualities of those who fall short of those heroic dynamics.

Heroes save us and are admired. If we are to receive approval and admiration, it is the superhero who becomes our inspired model. Or just society’s heroic protectors – police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, paramedics, or soldiers.

"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die." — G.K. Chesterton

Life's problems are common experiences for the participants of society. Heroes are likely by their stories to inspire us to overcome whatever adversity may challenge us, or we may be required to face.

"Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering." — Theodore Roosevelt

Their stories strengthen us emotionally and spiritually before disaster even occurs.

They give us hope from a reservoir that is independent of our own experiences. That hope can give us light in the dark places of fear and loneliness.

The stories and adventures of the heroes of our history may overtime reinforce our merely learned moral ethics, blazing a trail for our thoughts and emotions to follow. By the instilling in individuals those essential social values through stories repeating in our minds and dreams until a psychological and emotional pattern of faith is ingrained within us until our timidity is pushed aside and our frailness is forearmed.

"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave." — Elmer Davis

Knowing the stories of those who faced death in the trials of our past history gives us their courage to face the trials of our present. Hearing the tales of heroes told in admiration and reverence imparts a sense of immortality, at least to them. Hearing of the courage and sacrifice of the heroes from our past who survive in the admiration of our fathers and mothers, the heroes of our own childhood, allows us to grow in the light and memory of their courage without fear so that our own sacrifices do not give way to those demons that feed upon fear in the day of our own trial.

"There can be no mercy without truth."

The heroic myths are not mere entertainment but reset the human mind to those honored patterns of our past which can give our personal freedom meaning and a singularity of purpose which spans the history of humanity.

Heroes have solutions which save society through willing services and sacrifice.

Heroes have one or more social virtues like wisdom, courage, patience, mercy, or desire for justice. They tend to the weightier matters of righteousness

To kill the heroes of our history or those heroes and heroines of our myths and medias is to strangle the hope of the natural development of our youth, our next generations.

In destroying the treasured and admired heroes from our past, we are left at the mercy of Demons and Devils who know not mercy.

History is a story

"When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear." Thomas Sowell

All of History is a story but not all stories are history. When the people no longer want to hear the truth they will make up their own history where liars are heroes.

The statist theory of history is that it is a series of events culminating around kings, presidents and rulers, their wars and schemes and politics. Howard Zinn wanted to see history as a class struggle of impoverished farmers, feminists, laborers, and resisters of slavery and war warding off the oppression of the opportunistic, depraved, and sinister powerful elite. But the real struggle of mankind is the endless quest to find the truth and the willingness to accept it at all cost.

Anyone who knows the history and the strategies of the communist take overs in other nations which has led to the deaths of millions of people should be able to predict the phases to come in America and the world at this time of crises, real or imagined.

While Lenin knew in his mind that “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” Patrick Henry said “We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth… For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst; and to provide for it.”

So the question for you as an individual is do you want to know the whole truth and provide for it?

To take that journey we need to understand, like Daniel Webster that “There is nothing so powerful as truth, and often nothing so strange.”

Because something is unfamiliar or strange do you have the courage to explore the facts even if they prove to contradict what you want to believe?

The truth is, History is the story of every man who seek to live through it and they must be judged according to the content of their character, actions, and motivations as individuals. They are the author of history.

People are complex creatures living in a sea of relationships that can manifest both good and bad, righteousness and unrighteousness, sloth and avarice, virtue and vice. Any attempt to collectivize people as those Germans, those Indians, those Irish or those Africans immediately bias the author.

That sea of relationships in which we all move include not only family and friends, enemies and allies, strangers and pilgrims but the social structures of law and government, community and religion.

Phases of destruction

Long before Cloward or Piven were born the process of moving the US to a socialist political economy was well on its way. Even Yuri Bezmenov a journalist and KGB defector warned America of the real dangers of Ideological subversion that was already going on in public education, the media, and politics for nearly a century. Yuri believed America was the last hope.

The Cloward-Piven plan has been laid out and well published for decades but now the process is in rapid motion and every phase of their plan was in full operation while they dined in the White House. History and human nature will fill in the blanks the fool and their worldly folly could not foresee in the blindness of their murderous ambition and that which they could not see will pour out bitter poison into their dreams. Those dreams shall become nightmares that will overtake the children of deception with destruction.

The degeneration of morals, the perversion history, and the toppling of symbols and Statues is evidence that Ideological subversion wrought by the rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places has been working.

More than a decade ago Yuri Bezmenov was explaining the detailed plan of brainwashing of the youth and academics of nations. With subtlety the foolish have spread philosophies of death, the social practices destruction that made the people the workers of iniquity. The people were envious of the benefits of the world of the foolish and desirous of the wages of unrighteousness.

The abyss of vanity

The equality of Socialism is the prosperity of the wicked. The words of Cloward, Piven, Marx and Lenin preached on the left is the gospel of envy and vanity.

The people who are offended by free speech and who seek to silence the opinions of others will desire to exist in highly polarized and insulated ideological community wokely occupying their own information bubble deceiving themselves.

---

If you fear the revelation of facts the truth becomes your enemy and lies will lurk about you but if you are willing to seek the whole truth and provide for it then facts are your friend and freedom will be your companion.

---

Their hate and covetousness feed each other blinding the whole nation which ushers in the demoralization of the people until the habitual denial of truth. Any and all facts that bring the lies they cling to into the light become their enemy and all liars become their ally.

Those who embrace a lie make an enemy of the truth. Like the heretics of the past they will seek to cut out their tongue of all those who share or even see the truth.

Pernicious ways

Their self-righteous vanity continues to bar any hope of redemption. If people of the world continue to cling to their pernicious ways and shun the way of Christ. The false prophets and their gospel of destruction spread through the apostasy of the Modern Church have deceived many hearts and minds to accept their pernicious ways. What are those pernicious ways? Peter told you it was covetousness.

These pernicious ways take root among the people not just because of those false prophets and false teachers but because the people had an appetite for benefits and were willing in their hypocrisy to obtain them by the rule of force which seared their conscience until they were accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others.

The history of destruction has been the story of the blind leading the blind.

Having all ten planks of the Communist Manifesto accepted as law in America for years now could have only been accomplished by implementing the idea that it was okay to seek benefits or gain through force and the taxation of your neighbor. This of course is the antitheses of what was at one time the essence of the teachings of Abraham who would not take a buckle, Moses who only wanted to free the people, or Jesus who came not only to serve but to set the captive free.

The puppet masters of the world have secured outcomes and certainly manipulated elections through multiple means and double standards, censorship, and the usual Media Madness and mayhem. None of that would have been possible except the people were already willing to deceive themselves about so many things because of their own pride, sloth, and avarice.

How anyone claiming to be a Christian or Jew could imagine such covetous practices of providing benefits through force to be acceptable to God is evidence of a strong delusion.

Accepting the idea that public education among the Mire of other gifts, gratuities and benefits provided by rulers at the expense of your neighbor was a moral thing to do has already sealed the fate of America. America could only be great if Americans were truly good.

Of course it is not moral for Christians because Christ forbid it but the brutish pastors of the modern Church do not preach the Gospel of the kingdom nor the way of the early Church.

Phases

What phase are we in? Maybe all of them, certainly the phase called sin. You could say that Phase 1 and 2 were to manufacture a crisis to instill fear and cripple the economy. That could not have been done among people of true faith for they fear not. But that is where we run head long into the wall of pride and self-righteousness where facts don't matter.

The Coronavirus pandemic and subsequent compelled Shutdown were classic examples of a manufactured crises. They were able to control the people's thinking, if you can call it thinking, because people had not been seeking the whole truth nor providing for it themselves for a long, long time. The rulers of the darkness of this world filled with spiritual wickedness hate free speech because they love darkness. They were able to manufacture fear that no facts could alter nor could reason penetrate that wall of pride built through years of sanctimonious justification of sin.

Phase 3 would of course be the control and changes which are being done by promising people everything while delivering them more into bondage. But the real culprits of destruction, like the decline and fall of the Roman empire was the foolishness of the masses.

Phase 4 will undoubtedly run prices up and drain the population of the rest of their wealth and buying power with inflation which will inflate the fear factor. Phase 5 continue to undermine the system as they have done for years while food shortages overcome a degenerate and divided population. Power outages like we have seen for years now in Australia having destroyed their grid with "green energy". Then gas and fuel shortages while raising prices.

Phase 6 put down feeble attempts at rebellion with foreign troops if needed. Meanwhile keep sterilizing the youth with a biological agent disguised as vaccines. This will be followed by a real plague brought on with pathogenic priming and to collapse the population to the desired 500 million.

Americans and the world have already lost.

The new world order is already here. Because the people have long engaged in covetous practices forbidden by Christ, warned against by the Apostles and by Historians many have already degenerated into perfect savages and the lukewarm have no means of resistance except their vain imagination.

The people have neglected, if not abandoned, the way of righteousness. Leaving them neither the strength nor the wisdom to battle the evil that is coming nor even dissipate the evil that is already here. They have lost the minds of generations which will not come back quickly and certainly not without suffering.

But there is a door If we will allow our thinking to be changed altering our actions, abandoning sloth.

Don't be a foolish virgin.

Our only defense or hope is to Repent and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness starting with what Christ commanded and turn away from the wages of unrighteousness.
