LIGHT & DARK

"We intended to stand between them and those who they wanted to intimidate. We intended to block out their hate and shut down their violence," a leftist militia leader said in a surreally Orwellian quote. They were going to "shut down" perceived hate, violence and intimidation through genuine hate, violence and intimidation."

In Orwell's frighteningly prophetic and increasingly important book 1984 , we see how the Government of 'Airstrip One'(UK) invented a new, confusing jargon with which to communicate called 'Newspeak'.

We have entered that realm in real-life. The  Post Modern intellectual elite have successfully invented their own 'Newspeak' currently called 'fake news' and like the savages of 'Ingsoc' (English Socialism in 1984; the ruling elites) these post modern dictators wield their power with obfuscation, lies, stand-over tactics, intimidation and savage violence.....and they do it all in the name of peace and democracy.

It would be laughable if it were not so serious. Reading the (non-fake) news is like reading from the novel; ie. the above quote from TownHall's Guy Benson.

The truth of the matter is that the culture of the West for all its faults (and there are many as with All human activity), has managed to bring about a standard of living and a generosity towards all other cultures unequalled in human history. Unfortunately that very success has engendered a weakness, which is, and I am sure has been experienced by most parents, safety and comfort breed complacency and entitlement and it is every parents task to educate these failures out of their children or to leave them to discover the consequences of these errors themselves.

But with the miraculous advances of the previous few decades (and the particular achievements of the men and women of God and science who were rightly recognised as the 'Greatest Generation' of all) having all but vanquished the dire consequences of disease, hunger, poverty, and physical pain, an ideology that sought to re-create Paradise by eliminating rational thought was able to find fertile ground. [Evan Sayet]

We are witnessing this 'syndrome' writ large in the culture and unfortunately allowing our children and children's children to experience the consequences might instead mean that they will never again know what real freedom is.
The consequences of a failure to defend this civilisation could mean a real 'dark age' to  come.
