Something of Historic Proportion is Happening

Will you please take the time to read this,
and if you think it worthwhile, pass it along to your email list, and ask
them to read it? Even if they voted, with all good intentions, for Mr.
Obama?

I am a student of history. Professionally, I
have written 15 books in six languages…. I think there is something
monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a
mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes, these exist, but, they are merely
single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper
focus….

Yes, a
perfect storm maybe brewing, but there is something happening within our country
that has been evolving for about 10 – 15 years. The pace has dramatically
quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive
loans to people whom we know can never pay back? Why? We learn just days ago
that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has
“loaned” two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few
months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our
money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700B we all argued about so
strenuously just this past September.

Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us?
Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of “We the
People,” who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy.
Why?

We have intentionally
dumbed down our schools,
ignored our history, and
no
longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are
worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or
articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, and school
boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (now
violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it
wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such
a thing possible just a decade ago?).. We have corrupted our sacred political
process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way
of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our
voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall,
major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of
collapse, Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire
government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college
and know precisely what I
am talking about.) The list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It
is potentially 1929 x 10. And we are
at war with an enemy we cannot name for
fear of offending people of the same religion who cannot wait to slit the
throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And now we have elected a man no one knows anything about, who has never run so
much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla, Alaska . All of his
associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of
employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if
not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create
and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use
inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you
over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter and
$150,000 wardrobe is more important.)

Mr. Obama’s winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change.
Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now. This
man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in
his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along
philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a
new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes,
you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning.

I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German
felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking
rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to
nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted,
shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto
the political stage through great oratory and promises.

Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker.
And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak
out for fear that his “brown shirts” would bully them into submission. And then
he was duly elected to office, with a full-throttled economic crisis at hand
[the Great Depression].

Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by
department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a
Youth Movement in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did he get
the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the
moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by
indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control,
health care for all, better
wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country,
across Europe and across the world.

He did it with a compliant media – Did you know that? And he did this all in the
name of justice and… change. And the people surely got what they voted for.
(Look it up if you think I am exaggerating.) Read your history books. Many
people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and
made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s
while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister),
he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right,
though.

Don’t forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe. It
was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And
in less than six years – a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S.
presidency – it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its
laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All
with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a
choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even
if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to
me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong, close my
eyes, have another latte and ignore what is transpiring around me.

Some people scoff at me; others laugh or think I am foolish, naive, or both.
Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell
them exactly what I believe – and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. I do not
think I am.
