Once again the obsequious culture whores on the American left fell
all over themselves to secure their moment of fame. They pocketed another
buck and added it to their millions by pathetically apologizing for the
brutally criminal crowd of collectivist thugs in Communist China in exchange
for just one more deal, one more story, one more promotion. Now the King
has returned to his Machievellian courtiers, and further hastens the authoritarian
occupancy of his domestic regions with yet more executive orders. I constantly
wonder how many of us really comprehend just how dangerous our flirtation
with Marxism actually is. According to the influential likes of Hanoi Jane
and Bagdad Peter, the only good monopoly is a state monopoly.
And I suppose the ultimate question is which will come first. Will
the ChiComs adopt a democratic Constitutional System strictly limiting
their government and holding it accountable for violating human rights,
including the most fundamental, which is that of innate individual liberty?
Or will we simply drift further and further away from our own Constitutional
republican model until we have our own political correction archepelago
right here at home? Are you ready to place your bet?
Before you do, maybe you better do two things. First, ask yourself
this question. In spite of the frothing rhetoric mouthed by greasy toothed
pundits, what do you remember most about the incident at Tienanmen? Was
it the image of the cowardly communist oligarchy sneaking off from their
stronghold in Beijing? Do you remember them creeping off clustered together
in armored personnel carriers guarded by a column of tanks, just before
their military guards opened fire on unarmed civilians? Or do you remember
the brilliant inspiration of that lone shopper in the white shirt who stood
down the soviet style T-72's in the middle of the street while the world
watched on CNN? The second thing you better do is hunt up the Declaration
of Independence, and read it again, carefully.
"Life without freedom
is only half a life...Limited private enterprise does not negate the monopoly
that the Chinese Communist party, in its words and practice, asserts as
its supreme right." ...Chinese dissident and human rights activist, Harry
Wu
Consider modern China for a moment. We all know it's not the land of
the free. The South China Morning Post reported that more than 1,000 Protestants
were arrested in Henan Province, jailed, and tortured. Itinerant evangelist
Pastor Wang was arrested for his faith, beaten, and forced to lick the
feet of his captors. The South Chinese dissident Harry Wu reported that
Communist China still uses slave labor, with more than 3,000 camps that
constitute entire walled cities of political prisoners forced to learn
a trade, and then labor for the state without liberty or compensation.
Wu spent nineteen years in the "laogai" prison camp system, escaped to
the West to warn us. Meanwhile, we all buy goods made by these slaves everyday
and imported to the United States without even realizing it. They next
time you purchase something that is inscribed "Made in China," perhaps
you might turn it over slowly in your hand and contemplate your own fate.
It might be cheap, but it definitely isn't free.
Most of us are aware that contemporary collectivist China has offered
human body parts from executed political prisoners for sale to organ transplant
recipients. We've been charmed with a state run "capital" monopoly. Harry
Wu reported that he witnessed the execution of a fellow inmate for merely
writing "Down with Chairman Mao" on a cigarette rolling paper. Both Mr.
Wu and BBC reporter Sue Lloyd-Roberts showed a U.S. Senate Foreign Relations
Committee held by Senator Jesse Helms a shocking videotape of an actual
organ transplant execution, with surgical vans and medical teams waiting
nearby to cannibalize the body to sell on the Western Black Market. Even
closer to home, the notorious "Doctor of Death," Jack Kevorkian, has suggested
that we begin to use the body parts of executed prisoners here in America.
What once seemed a fine idea, collectivism is reaching its own logical
conclusion for Americans. Slowly, the individual virtually becomes the
sacrificial lamb to the collective whole, even to the point of ripping
out and selling his inner organs.
China is the country that hosted the ultra-liberal United Nations
fourth World Conference on Women in August 1995. Ironically it is also
a country that is unparalleled in the abuse of women. According to an article
titled "Pre-Natal Tests in China Threat to Girl Babies" in the San Francisco
Examiner, April 24, 1994, the state monitors women's menstrual cycles and
forces abortions on anyone who becomes pregnant without permission. The
same article noted that they disproportionately kill female infants, and
in some areas of China the direct result has produced a ratio of males
to females at 64% in favor of men.
The next news on the collectivist utopia is even more shocking, and
if it doesn't shock you, you may as well put down the rest of this work
and walk. In the periodical World, May 20, 1995, an article called "Unspeakable
Delicacy" reveals that aborted human fetuses have begun to appear on the
menus of Chinese restaurants as a delicacy and health tonic. A female physician
at the state-run Shenzhen Health Center for Women and Children gave an
investigative reporter from Eastern Express a jar of fetuses, saying, "There
are 10 fetuses here, all aborted this morning. You can take them. We are
a state hospital and don't charge anything. Normally we doctors take them
home to eat — all free. Since you don't look well, you can take them."
Should we bother to question why the reporter didn't "look well?" This
report clearly gives new meaning to the expression often used to describe
a culture in the throes of moral depravity, "They have begun to eat their
own." It is especially poignant because the Western adherents of the collectivist
theme seem determined to tolerate almost anything to promote and further
their ends, with the sole exception of the stark truth behind their agenda
staring them straight in the face. Facing up to that they will not tolerate.
The official UN document promoting the event in Beijing was said
to be written and supported by a virtual 'who's who' of far left radical
feminists, including Hillary Clinton and one of her personal icons, Bella
Abzug. Described by the Washington Times as "a fixture in old left activism,"
Abzug was said to have supported Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin when she
was at Hunter College. Her modern supporters on the left can't seem to
recall that in 1934 the president of Hunter College heralded another progressive
socialist. That was of course, the National Socialist, Adolph Hitler. The
Hunter president declared that Adolph was "destined to go down to history
as a cross between Hotspur and Uncle Toby and to be as immortal as either."
Well, Hitler became immortal, alright. Yet somehow, in the fourth estate
media portrayals, the kooks and whackos are always on the conservative
side of politics. Now, how is that? You don't need to answer. You already
know.
In May 1993, 180 pregnant Chinese women boarded the ship Golden Venture
secretly bound for the United States. They hoped to escape the forced abortion
in their homeland. The Clinton administration was unsympathetic, jailed
the women, and ordered them repatriated to an angry, embarrassed, and ruthless
Chinese socialist government. This administration presided over the official
opening of our borders to all manner of traffic under NAFTA, from illegal
immigrants to greatly increased drug traffic. This administration fought
to allow HIV infected alien individuals immunity in America, but oppressed
pregnant Chinese mothers — forget it. Authoritarians will tolerate no challenge
to their agenda regarding population control. Self control the Gramscians
are not much concerned with, but population control is always a must. Still,
in an open letter to the U.S. Congress on April 20, 1995, Representatives
Christopher Smith and Henry Hyde formally opposed the forced repatriation
of the pregnant Chinese female refugees.
Perhaps we think ourselves safe because we seek to empower authoritarian
collectivism under some sanitized euphemism like "democratic socialism."
Most of us seem to have forgotten that even though Hitler was technically
appointed to the position of Chancellor, the party that appointed him was
democratically elected, and the system was called National Socialism. We
also forget that the former Soviet Union held "free" democratic elections,
or that the GDR was neither democratic nor a republic. The latter was in
fact an authoritarian collectivist dictatorship under the imperial influence
of the former U.S.S.R. With similar semantic and political deception, authoritarians
have worked tirelessly to have us all believe that we are in no way under
restraint, that we act out of 'voluntarily compliance' to surrender our
tax dollars, indeed, our very rights. Ah, but what's in a name.
"Boys, the secret
of trailing cattle [to the market and the slaughterhouse] is never to let
your herd know that they are under restraint. Let everything that is done
be done voluntarily by the cattle." ...Jim Flood, Trail Boss, from The
Chisholm Trail by Dan Worcester
One unnerving aspect of the cattle analogy — where elites empower their
collectivist social engineers to herd us like their chattel — is the method
trail boss used to deal with any individual animal following its own mind.
It were to cause the others to stray and threaten the goals of the cattle
owners, without hesitation, he shot it on the spot. We should be reminded
of the cute little practice of the Communist Chinese and the Soviet Socialists
in regard to any perceived political threat to the system. They shot the
individual in the back of the head with a single bullet, and sent the empty
shell casing along with a bill for its cost to the surviving family members!
You can bet the survivors paid those few pennies for the bullet, and you
can bet they learned to sit up and take notice. You can bet they learned
to keep their mouths positively shut. When queried if they had free speech
and free elections protected by their constitution, citizens would uniformly
smile and reply, "absolutely!" Those that dared to challenge the charade
were gone overnight. It was too late for them by the time they found themselves
in that position. Ask Luther Jerry Parks or Caity Mahoney.
In every collectivist scheme there is an inevitable chasm between
the rhetoric designed to entrap the unwitting public and the personal lifestyles
of the ideological spokespersons and leaders of the planned society. When
these realities are forgotten, then virtually anything can happen to a
populace, and historically, the worst usually has. Rather than face the
reality of this, we follow the elites as they patch together a makeshift
global government of boilerplate political and legal deals, insisting that
it will hail in the next millennium with an age of prosperity, liberty,
and peace. We hail the god of the modern statutory system.
Now a statutory legal system can arrest and imprison you for failing
to place a token in a parking meter, but Common Law protects your right
to complain about it. If the right to speak freely about it has any statutory
limitation whatsoever, the statutory powers that collect the parking fees
will be economically and politically motivated by the temptation to silence
you if they can. We could logically expect little else from them than to
act on the motivation of their own best interests. This is fundamental
human nature. It does not take a Constitutional lawyer to comprehend the
flaw in such a system. This is one of the primary weaknesses with liberal
thinking itself.
Liberals seek justice by empowering a statutory legal system to control
and regulate the politically incorrect offender, most often unwittingly
at the expense of the individual Common Law rights they hope (or often
only pretend) to protect. Today's Conservatives, on the other hand, seek
justice by conserving the unalienable rights recognizing empowerment of
the individual and steadfastly standing by the history of Common Law. In
spite of popular ideological rhetoric to the contrary, the former lends
itself to elitism, while the latter lends itself to the common benefit
of common individuals. Unfortunately, ideologues of popular culture have
turned these notions around for the success of their ends, and have confused
everyone to the point.
For liberals who think their "democratic" ideologies or unblemished
leaders are exempt from this anathema toward the spirit of our Constitution,
they may have missed President Clinton's speech where he stated that the
Founding Fathers "gave the people too much freedom." Appearing on MTV on
April 19, 1994, he said, "Enough is Enough...we have a radical Constitution...[and]
the radical Bill of Rights...[gave] a radical amount of individual freedom
[to the people]." Excuse me? A "radical" Bill of Rights? Are we to construe
that Clinton perceived the Constitution he swore to uphold against all
enemies upon his inauguration, "both foreign and domestic," as "radical?"
Is he proposing that we replace it with an authoritarian state substitute,
licensing out "privilege?" And you liberals really "love" this guy? Have
you left your brains behind with all the "traveling baggage" you dumped
in the 60's? Do we have to spell it out for you? How about a picture?
A critical observer could be forgiven if this were described as little
more than an arrogant display of silver-tongued demagoguery. How could
an American President actually claim that the Bill of Rights is a radical
instrument giving too much liberty to the people? Isn't that the document
representing a system of government that virtually millions have died to
defend, that virtually empowers the authority of his position, that so
honors human rights and liberty that billions have admired it?
First of all, under our system and in accord with Western Tradition,
neither the Constitution nor the Founding Fathers 'gave' anyone liberty
at all, but rather proclaimed its existence as an unalienable individual
human right, a natural law, a self evident truth. Didn't we long ago conclude
that everyone is born with this one endowment, regardless of race, gender,
or creed? This is the heart and substance of our entire heritage. What
good are 'human rights' if we should ever have to kneel beseeched to the
arbitrary benevolence of the collective Imperial state in order to receive
them? Those that would change this legal precedent to a state of tyranny
are madly and shamefully intoxicated with a desire for power. With snobish
contempt, they would eviscerate an entire people and destroy the dreams
of the entire future of every hopeful individual to come. It's no wonder
there was such an upheaval of Conservatism over the likes of the Clinton
Administration. It should be understandable to at least a few why so many
people do not like the politics of this President. Unfortunately, smugly
drunk on denial, the left just can't get up off their knees. They're stuck
down there, worshipping at the altar of the lie. Lying has become the petty
little religion of the atheistic left. The ends, after all, justify the
means.
Much to the denial of the impossibly smug media, silencing dissension
has also become part of the theme of the politically correct. You know,
the mainstream media that gets it 100% correct? The guys that bad mouth
Matt Drudge? There are presently serious legislative notions at large that
would make it a criminal offense for 'politically incorrect' thought, speech,
or action. The question is, who concludes what is correct, and why?
At Marietta College, Ohio, a student wrote an article in his college
newspaper in which he referred to lesbianism as 'deviant' behavior. Charged
with "sexual harassment" by a campus lesbian, he was proclaimed guilty,
accused of spreading hatred, and then expelled. One would assume that the
First Amendment gives us the right to speak freely, even if we are later
judged to be mistaken in our opinions. This assumption is overcast with
the dark admonition that we may speak freely, but only if we speak according
to the ideas of the Politically Correct. Meanwhile, one of Louis Farrakhan's
ministers spoke at Kean college in New Jersey, giving us his prescription
for peace in South Africa. He stated that his solution was, "We kill the
[white] women, we kill the children, we kill the babies. We kill the blind,
we kill the cripple...we kill 'em all." Astonishingly, this speech was
judged to be free from hatred, and qualified as 'non-racist.' and protected
by the Constitution.
The dangerous hypocrisy of selectively granting privilege on the
basis of politics as opposed to respecting individual rights becomes clear.
Those who think the Second Amendment can fall to liberalism with no threat
to the First are likely in for a very rude awakening. There are liberals
among us who think the Bill of Rights so 'radical,' that they overtly and
adamantly call for the elimination of the First Amendment as well!
One of the leading spokespersons for the state control of speech
is Catherine Mackinaw, a professor of law at the University of Michigan.
She declares that the legal system must change the 200 year old Constitutional
concept that rights are limits on state action. Instead, in pure Marxist
rhetoric, "rights should be entitlements" granted by government, to be
used as a means of legal intervention for social change! The horror of
this is that there are students studying under those like Mackinaw who
undoubtedly take this sort of recommendation seriously. One could easily
be forgiven for thinking that we need another government entitlement program
like we all need another hole in the head — especially one that eliminates
the First Amendment! The historic short sighted error of this thinking
is clearly evident. Any bonehead who denies this probably took Pravda seriously
for those long, dark seventy Soviet years, or has forgotten the political
fraud perpetrated by European Medieval history. The world is flat, and
all who oppose are heretics.
Our Constitutional rights are a product of a millennium of effort,
if not several, and Mackinaw and others like her want to throw them away
to selectively impose their own astigmatic brand of justice and equality.
Given the evidence and the reason behind our history, one can hardly believe
that these people have the slightest idea what they are asking. On the
other hand, perhaps they know exactly what they're doing. That is precisely
the danger we face. In spite of our denial, most of us suspect and fear
in our deepest recesses that George Orwell might turn out to be correct,
even if his dating seems to be in error.
He understood it just a little bit too well. Some have argued that
he was privy to the machinations of an elitist group of world movers who
envisioned global rule, and he reacted to their plans with a fictionalized
admonition of the downside possibilities. Even though we see momentary
swings away from liberalism, toward common sense, the Hegelian dialectic
is still at work — at least in the minds of these movers. The thesis is
Liberalism. The antithesis is a grass roots conservative reaction to its
excesses. The synthesis is more inevitable centralization and consequent
repression. We move from a stormy past into the dangerous straights between
Charybdis and Scylla, the sweet sirens of chaos calling out to every man
and woman, from academia, from the media, from the bureaucracy itself.
As the leaders of our New World Order grow ever more intoxicated with the
historically fiendish fermentation of power, we edge nearer and nearer
to the precipice of yet another potential totalitarian disaster. This one
could eventually lead to the legendary final resolution, the "big one baby."
They yearn impatiently for the arrival of the "last man," the "end
of history," the end of the dialectic itself, where their shining ideal
will be perfected. Oceania shall rule, but Eurasia and Eastasia should
never suspect this end. Their progenitors will benevolently sit on an alabaster
thrown of power. Like Dyus Pitar — or Jupitar, the proto-Indo European
"Sky Father," Zeus himself — they will watch over the world below. It may
not be unreasonable to conclude that these potentates may be entirely caught
up within the narrow scope of their own limited vision, and trapped in
the addiction of their own denial. Their position pays very well, after
all. It pays a whole lot more than 40 pieces of silver. Yet even in the
middle of all this liberal daydreaming and frantic manipulation, the house
of cards threatens to fall in on itself again. Asia is plunging into a
virtual depression.
"What profit does
a man receive, if he should gain the whole world, but lose his soul? What
can a man give in exchange for his soul?" ...Matthew, 16:26
You progressives on the left may think yourself on the vanguard of the
New Age, but if liberalism persists in its present form, it's far more
likely that the future will view you like the Native Americans. Almost
always in good faith, virtually disarmed and demoralized, they yielded
up virtually everything to the elites who stole up their lands, only to
be deceived again and again, and eventually wound up in an alcoholic stupor
receiving nothing but the heartbreak of broken promises and a dependent
home in the welfare concentration camps of the reservation system. You
might be careful not walk around boasting that you live in America, 'land
of the free,' for what's left of the freedom you take so much for granted
could very well evaporate before your eyes like water on a hot summer pavement.
"You don't need
a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." ...Bob Dylan lyric
In myopic denial, what the blind and usefull idiots on the left can't
comprehend is that socialism and Fascism are, at least in the practical
world, one and the same. And Fascism is like heroine, and not merely limited
to what they think of as conservative politics. The great 20th Century
experiments in Fascism were German National Socialism, Soviet International
Socialism, and Chinese Global Socialism. We're looking at more than a hundred
million dead from these utopian collectivist attempts. Those in academia,
in the media, in entertainment, and on the political left have always thought
they can shoot just a little Fascist heroine. Just enough to redistribute
the wealth, manage the environment, promote affirmative action, nationalize
health care or any other industry they hope to control for the benefit
of society, and free themselves from the social responsibilities associated
with sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll by empowering the state to steal from
the productive in order to save the irresponsibly unproductive without
consequence. They think they're so special as to be immune to the addictive
and socially destructive effects of the dope itself.
What they still deny, and what the modern conservative logician has
discovered and shouts out to the hopeless dupe on the left, is that there's
no such thing as JUST A LITTLE HEROINE. Once you begin, you are likely
to become a hopeless addict, subordinate to crime, corruption, and eternal
slavery to the opiate itself. And such is Fascism. That's Harry Wu's point.
Clinton and all his Global Socialist friends can pretend that they can
get away with just a few hits of this refined CHINA WHITE, only on the
weekends, while selling their surplus off to other limousine liberal friends
at a tidy profit. Soon, like every addict from Manhattan to London, from
San Francisco to Beverly Hills, they will be using up all they can get
their hands on, hopelessly enslaved to their own moral cataclysm. Unfortunately,
they will very likely drag us all down with them.
That's also why the argument between the so-called fiscal conservatives
and the social conservatives is virtually a mute point. Now both the libertarians
and liberals are likely to challenge this assertion. But fiscal conservatism
is impossible without some kind of associated social conservatism. It's
the golden thread sewn all through the governing fabric set in place by
the Founding Fathers. Attempting to build a civilization without common
standards of conduct is like trying to engineer a bridge without any reference
to standard weights and measures. Can you imagine if every workman had
his own standards, attempting to fit together parts and pieces manufactured
haphazardly by even other's who set their own standards? Get the picture?
The basis of moral integrity is in fact the logical substance of social
conservatism, and no free business or family environment can exist without
moral integrity.
While individuals can argue over details, over incidentals, the principles
were long ago defined by the culture of the West itself. They evolve through
trial and error, and the practical results were passed down first by oral,
and then by written tradition. It's in our history, from the agrarian revolution
and the associated property rights, to the synchronicity of Judaic law
and Hellenistic democratic concepts. It's in our Cannons. As we are witnessing
with modern China, the rights of the individual do not exist — in fact
CANNOT exist — without the fundamental cultural principles associated with
Western thought intact. And THAT is precisely why the elitist left, by
following Gramsci, has intentionally divided the right by systematically
destroying the fundamental cultural institutions of the West.
Here it is in a nutshell. Here's your picture. If you can't trust
the moral character of your business associates, you will have none. You
will have to depend on an authoritarian system to arbitrate your business
disputes, and at that point, you loose the liberty from tyranny you hope
to achieve with fiscal conservatism. Somehow, the conservative movement
must pull these forces together, or loose the war against authoritarian
collectivism. If you don't understand your enemy, you can't fight them
effectively. It's just that simple.
"Arjuna said: But,
O Descendant of Vrishni, impelled by what power does a man commit sin even
against his wish, constrained, as it were, by force? The Blessed Lord said:
It is desire, it is anger, born of passion; of unappeasable craving and
of great sin; know this as the foe in this world. As fire is enveloped
by smoke, as a mirror by dust, as an embryo by the womb, so is the self
covered by that." ...Bhagavad-Gita, III. 36-38, 400 BC-400 AD
Once again the myth of original sin. So I suppose if we're very lucky,
some of those who are high in rank, strong in power, and politically effective,
will challenge the unchecked downward spiral into slavery we find ourselves
descending. Maybe some of the elites themselves will confess their addiction
to the intoxicating brew of global power, momentarily drop the flask of
utopian inebriation from their lips. Maybe their own misguided elitist
effort will not fall into dispersed languages, into twelve new warring
tribes. Given the realities of history, however, these are probably very
vain hopes.
One thing is for certain. If our quest for World Order continues
with this trend toward not the best of human achievement, but the worst,
then it's only a matter of time before some new unforeseen cataclysm of
monumental, violent, and grotesque abuse of centralized power comes to
logical fruition — even here in the good ol' "U.S. of A."
So wake up, you proverbial sleepers! How does the popular idiom go?
If you snooze — you loose.... |
