HISTORICAL PESSIMISM
If we survey history, we see wars and conflicts everywhere. We see a vast stretch of history reaching into the dim ages of the past. It’s a grim record, with only a few sparkles, here and there, of freedom, peace, and prosperity – for a brief period in a small area. By what wild flight of optimism do we suppose that we might be able to change the way history works? Are we going to change human nature?
For many long ages, pessimistic philosophers have declared that it is man’s destiny to suffer, to fight, to go to war with himself, and to enslave himself. Insanity, lust, greed, cruelty, and hatred are the inevitable and eternal nature of man. These foremost character traits dictate that history will forever be an ocean of war, conflict, slavery, and suffering, with civilizations rising and falling like waves on the beach of time. The defining characteristic of man is that he destroys himself.
Christianity teaches us that man is a “sinner”. His actions are naturally bad. He is not capable of redeeming himself. He is doomed to suffer the consequences of his evil nature. Only the grace of God can save him. He is redeemed by God’s love, generosity, and mercy. But man does not deserve God’s grace or mercy. God is merciful despite man’s undeserving nature. According to Christianity, the individual believer is saved despite the fact that he does not deserve it and has not earned it and cannot do anything to save himself.
The Christian view of history is similar. The usual Christian idea is that the world will go downhill and get into a very bad condition. Then Jesus Christ will “come again” – the “Second Coming”. Jesus Christ will save the righteous and punish the wicked. But again, if man is left on his own, history goes downhill into destruction and ruin. History is saved only by the intervention of God. Man has done and can do nothing to earn or to deserve being rescued by God from historical oblivion, which would be, in essence, Hell on Earth.
IT’S NOT ALL BAD
We can say “The Founding Fathers did a great job establishing a free country. But the free country which they established only lasted for two and a half centuries. That’s not very good!”.
This is true. But let’s look on the bright side. It lasted a whole two and a half centuries! Wow! That’s fantastic! A large piece of the world has enjoyed the glories of freedom, peace, and prosperity for two and a half centuries! There was a civil war, but mostly it’s been working really well. This is a huge success!
This is a very good reason to be hopeful.
Furthermore, we have a very good idea of what we have done wrong. This is an extremely good thing. It means that maybe we can do it again and get it right this time! Wouldn’t that be glorious!
We have allowed conspiracy and corruption to run rampant. We have allowed government to grow into a tyrannical monster. There are a lot of things we can fix. They are generally “controversial”. But that’s just because the bad guys are trying to destroy civilization while we are trying to build it up. It’s just a matter of who’s going to win. It’s not really true to say that “We don’t know what to do!”. The bad guys want you to not know. They want you to think that you don’t know. They want you to think that there is nothing you can do. They want you to think that there is nothing short of an act of God that can save either you or civilization.
Another good sign, oddly enough, is that the population has been so heavily corrupted. The population has been massively drugged. Education has been largely destroyed, and the population has been “dumbed down”. Masses of people think that the government owes them a living. Many points can be identified where the population has been corrupted and degraded.
This is a good sign, because it means that the population can be influenced. It shows that change is possible. The character and attitudes of the population, of people in general, are not fixed and immutable, unchanging for all time. If people can be negatively influenced, then they can be positively influenced. It’s a matter of who is going to succeed in influencing people.
Specifically, right at the end of World War II, America could have very easily taken out Communism in Russia and established Liberty in China. But the Great Conspiracy was creating Communist governments and looking forward to World War III and to the Global Slave State. After World War II, if America had been controlled by Liberty Lovers instead of by the Great Conspiracy, America could very easily have established Liberty worldwide at that time.
It’s not that hard.
Of course, things are much worse now. On the other hand, maybe we know better now who the enemy is and what needs to be done. In any event, let us give it our very best effort.
We are fighting for Liberty, not only for ourselves and for our children, but very possibly for many thousands of years. If we lose, it is a black future. We do not want to go there.
WE ARE GOING EITHER UP OR DOWN. WHICH WILL IT BE?
The last three centuries have seen fantastic advances in science, technology, and industry. It is very true to say that “It’s a small world.”. It is much smaller than it used to be.
What this means is that we are going up or down together.
UP = FREEDOM
DOWN = SLAVERY
Throughout history, until recent centuries, different parts of the world lived more or less in isolation from each other. This is no longer true.
At this point, three power centers dominate the entire world: Russia, China, and the Anglo-American Great Conspiracy. All three are dedicated to slavery. And therefore, all three are dedicated to the destruction of Traditional America, which is the great barrier to enslaving the world, even though it is not represented by any government.
Traditional America is the creation of the Founding Fathers. Traditional America is “the land of the free and the home of the brave”. Traditional America is the America where freedom still lives and is still loved by many Americans.
In the near future, we are going to have World War III, involving all three of these power centers. The purpose of this World War for all three great powers is to destroy Traditional America, so as to make it possible to enslave the entire world.
Although it is difficult to predict such things with confidence, it seems that the likely outcome will be this. Russia and China will attack America. Traditional America will be submerged into the New World Order. China will turn on Russia. Russia will be destroyed as a world power. The new arrangement of world powers will be the New World Order versus China. Freedom will be dead in the world.
It is no longer true that there are many unrelated areas in the world, each with its own history. Wherever we are going, the entire world is going there together.
IS THE GOAL TOO BIG?
Our Great Goal is: LIBERTY FOR ALL MEN EVERYWHERE. The Great Goal is a global civilization very firmly based on Liberty. The Great Goal is a Worldwide Free Civilization.
This may seem like a ridiculously grandiose goal. Who are we that we are trying to save the world?
Who are we that we should not try to save the world?
What choice do we have?
Karl Marx was not bashful. He called for “proletarians of all countries” to “unite” in “the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions”. That was and is a very big goal. At this time his Great Goal is very close to being accomplished, by the Russians and/or the Chinese. Their major competition is the Great Conspiracy. If the Great Conspiracy succeeds, that will be even worse. The enormous success of the Great Goal laid down by Karl Marx proves that just because a goal is big, that does not mean it cannot be done.
All the great powers of the world are against us. All the great powers of the world are working to create a Global Slave State. They are only disagreeing about who is going to run it.
Our goal is painfully obvious. They want slavery. We want Liberty. They want a Global Slave State. We want LIBERTY FOR ALL MEN EVERYWHERE. We want a Worldwide Free Civilization.
We face a stark choice. No other goal is possible. No other goal makes any sense.
YOU MUST CHOOSE YOUR FUTURE
You have free will. You have the power of choice. You can turn left or you can turn right. That choice is up to you. You can choose to do what is right and good. Or you can choose to do what is wrong and bad.
We can do something.
Is it enough?
If we do not get the good outcome, then we will get the bad outcome.
How many long untold ages of slavery and suffering will we have to endure before freedom gets another chance?
Now is the time for an all-out maximum effort.
You need to throw your weight, as energetically as possible, on the side of freedom, goodness, happiness, and love. You need to push as hard as you can against slavery, evil, misery, and hatred.
We need to do the best we can. Each one of us. When you look back from the future, will you be satisfied that you did the best you could? If we lose, if the New World Order locks the entire world into a Global Slave State, similar to the world of George Orwell’s “1984”, will you berate yourself as a fool because you did not do more when you had the chance? Or will you be able to console yourself by saying, “Well, this is very bad, but I really did try as hard as I could.”.
