KNOW YOUR ENEMY
"If Americans wish to preserve a
country they will recognize, then the first step is to recognize the enemy. Public
education is the enemy. The entertainment industry is the enemy. The corporate
culture is the enemy. The advertising industry is the enemy. And most of the
politicians in both parties are the enemy.
An enemy is defined as anybody, or any
organization, which is attacking the traditional beliefs of Americans."
-- Charley Reese - - Columnist
I
have written and spoken often about how ignorance and apathy is destroying our
Republic more than any totalitarian ideology. This is not just an idle
speculation on my part. It is supported by the fact that there are an estimated
60 million evangelical Christians in the United States and on any given
election day about 30 million choose to sit on their hands. ( I don't actually
know what they are doing with their hands. I just know that they are not at the
polls.)
Upon
leaving Constitution Hall after the three month ordeal of creating our
Constitution, a lady approached Benjamin Franklin and asked; "Dr.
Franklin, What kind of government have you given us?"
"A
Republic, Madam, if you can keep it" was his reply.
There
are numerous quotes we could cite about how "Eternal vigilance being the
price of Liberty". Washington, Sam Adams, Jefferson, John Adams, Madison, and
Patrick Henry all wrote extensively and eloquently on this topic.
I
don't know when we the people first became comfortably complacent and, like the
boiled frog, ignored the rising threat to our very life and liberty. But I do
know that there has been a slow and gradual drift toward a totalitarian
government since the early 60's. Bit by bit, step by step, the socialist agenda
has been incrementally put in place, and we the people did nothing but complain
and wring our hands, or worse, buried our head in the TV or some other distraction and let someone else
tell us what to think.
The
following list of Communist Goals that was entered into the Congressional
record by Albert Herlong, Jr. ( a Floridian who served in Congress from 1049 -
69) in 1963.
Take
the time to scan down through the list and check off all Communist Goals that you
believe have been accomplished:
1. US acceptance of coexistence
as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. US willingness to capitulate
in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that
total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of "moral
strength".
4. Permit free trade between
all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not
items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long term loans
to Russia and Soviet Satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all
nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red
China, and admission of Red China to the UN.
8. Set up East and West Germany
as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the
Germany question by free elections under supervision of the UN.
9. Prolong the conference to
ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as
negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet Satellites
individual representation in the UN.
11. Promote the UN as the only
hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a
one world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist
leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as by Moscow.
Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in
the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist
Party.
13. Do away with loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia
access to the US Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the
political parties in the US.
16. Use technical decisions of
the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities
violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools.
Use them as transmission belts for Socialism, and current Communist propaganda.
Soften the curriculum. Get control of teacher associations. Put the party line
in text books.
18. Gain control of all student
newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment
public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist
attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get
control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key
positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting
American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American
Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and
buildings", and substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.
23. Control art critics and
directors of art museums. Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive,
meaningless art".
24. Eliminate all laws
governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free
press.
25. Break down cultural
standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books,
magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26. Present homosexuality,
degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy".
27. Infiltrate the churches and
replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible
and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a
"religious crutch".
28. Eliminate prayer or any
phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates
the principle of "separation of church and state".
29. Discredit the American
Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern
needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations or a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American founding
fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the
"common man".
31. Belittle all forms of
American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground
that it was only a minor part of "the big picture". Give more emphasis
to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist
movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture - education,
social agencies. welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or
procedures, which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House
Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and gain control
of more unions.
36. Discredit and eventually
dismantle the FBI.
37. Infiltrate and gain control
of big business
38. Transfer some of the powers
of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as
psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
39. Dominate the psychiatric
profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control
over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an
institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise
children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudice,
mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that
violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition;
that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a "united
force" to solve economic, political, or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial
governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama
Canal.
45.Repeal the Connelly Reservation so the US cannot prevent the World
Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court
jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations
and individuals alike.
A casual review of
this list of goals illustrates our gradual slide down the "slippery-slope"
toward tyranny. Many Americans have been shaken awake following the series of
events following the 2008 election. Some
of us have finally gotten out of our recliner and are involved in the grass
roots liberty movement. Come and join us. Be the solution!
I firmly believe that
the solutions to the dangers facing our Republic are not political, but are
spiritual. We must first change who we are as citizens before we can restore
America to its once greatness.
Douglas MacArthur
warned us, “History fails to record a
single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into
political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to
overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate
national disaster.”
Finally, looking to
the ultimate source of wisdom Proverbs 14:34 tells us, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”
