 "In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted
security. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society,
but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished
for was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be
free."  What do you know about Cecil John Rhodes, (1853-1902)? Have you ever heard of the World Federalist Movement? How about the Club of Rome? Are they linked in some way, and if so, how can this be any concern of ours? Check out those web sites and find out what Bill Clinton's, George H.W. Bush's and now it seems, George W. Bush's vision of our future is. To be fair though, this vision is not unique to them and there are many who might run for President, or other elected office, that espouse the same goal of One World Government. Wake up America, we must be ever vigilant. Our concern should be aroused when we find that patriotism (love of one's country) is dead, no longer will we be allowed to be American citizens, we will become World citizens. We should be concerned that economies are now global, we must have only one currency, (The whole thing stinks of Communism.) and those countries that are well off such as the U.S. will now have to support every backward, undeveloped, bankrupt economy in the world. Are you ready to pay for that? Above all, you should be concerned that the United Nations, and the World Court, will have jurisdiction over not only international conduct, but that of the individual also. The Constitution of the United States would be made invalid and we would lose all of our guaranteed rights to a world organization influenced in many cases by nations that have at times been our enemies, sworn to our destruction. Do you believe that human nature is so flexible, and forgiving, that nations once our enemies are now our staunch alies? The philosopher, George Santayana, once said; "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." He wasn't speaking about governments, he was speaking about individuals, even to nation sized groups of individuals. Governments, and other special interest groups, don't forget history, they use it to plan for the future. Individuals on the other hand have limited life spans, in comparison to governments, and each new generation grows up ignorant of the past unless history's little lessons are taught to them. Once upon a time every school child was taught these lessons, and we were a great nation, but today, thanks to nearly fifty years of socialist government control of our schools and mainstream media, our national heritage goes untaught. What is taught, is done in such a way as to discredit and demean our national heros and twist events to remove any national pride and in some cases make the United States out to look like a heartless monster, but more on this later. As our government seems to be guiding us down a path toward an Owellian future, what could be more appropriate than a quote from George Orwell? "Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present, controls the past." By controlling the curriculum in todays schools, the government is controlling what the students are learning about the past. The past is being warped to fit the perceived needs of the future. Our children are growing up today without a national heritage to be proud of, and without that, they will make whatever future they are being groomed for. If you can afford it, and even if you can't, find some way to get your children out of public schools and into private, conservative schools. Their future, and our nation's future, may depend on just that.  This country was settled, in 1620, by people who were risking life, limb, and fortune to escape oppression in order to obtain the freedom to worship as they chose. They were the embodiment of the American Spirit and the first of a continuing stream of immigrants in search of freedom and opportunity.
On July 4th, 1776, Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, and on Oct. 19, 1781, British General Charles Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington, in a small fishing village called Yorktown. Then on September 17th, 1787, the greatest political document ever conceived in the history of mankind, The Constitution of the United States of America, was signed by the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. In June 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the Constitution, putting it into effect. On September 25, 1789 the Bill of Rights, including 12 amendments, is proposed to the states delegates. Finally on September 28th, 1789, 10 amendments are ratified, and signed by the Speaker of the House. However, it will be 1791 before they officially become part of the Constitution. The sacrifices of life, limb and fortune of so many thousands, in the struggle for freedom, had finally borne fruit. The first modern Republic, dedicated to the libery and freedom of the common man, and forbidding the government from infringing those liberties and freedoms, had just been born. That is worth remembering. There are other things we should never forget, some of them unpleasant. We should never forget that we held slaves in this country. It is true that some of our Founding Fathers were slave holders, but they didn't invent it, they were born to it. Many opposed slavery, while at the same time, owning them. The entire economy of the south was tied to slavery and it wasn't something that could be stopped with a flick of a switch. It took another 80 years and a Civil War to finally put and end to it, but end it they did. Slavery has been dead in this country for over 140 years, but it is something we should never forget, lest it happen again to people of any color. Blacks today are living in a nation that freed them from slavery and if they want reparations, let them address their claims to the decendents of those southern Democrats who were the slave holders. It was the conservative Republicans who freed them, and that is just another example of history forgotten.
A final note on this subject: History teaches us another lesson that we seem deaf to. Israel is a country that wanted to prove that everyone was equal. Men and women worked side by side, shared work and play, and on some of the kibbutz's, even showered together. Then came the war with Egypt, and the women went to the front lines with the men. Israel nearly lost that war because the men had to come to the rescue of the women. Israel no longer allows women in front line combat roles. While there is a definite place in the military for women, it is not on the front lines in combat. Wake up, America, we must have a strong military! These are things we shouldn't forget. Why should we remember these things you ask, many are unsettling to think about? True, but like slavery, these things should be remembered so they won't happen again. A point to ponder from an historical view point: "Human nature does not change, cannot change, it is what makes us human. If it were to change, we would no longer be human, and as long as human nature is what it is, we will always have the need to defend ourselves from one another." History tells us this is so. To deny it is to bury our heads in the sand. There have been enough lessons in this century alone, to provide for our needs if we could just remember them. Throughout history, mankind has had to relearn many lessons the hard way. Each new century seems to bring the same old scourges, but in different guise.
While Marxism had been around since the 1850s, it took on a whole new identity in Russia in 1917. Bolshevism, or Communism as we know it, leapt violently upon the world stage and produced from its ranks, Josef Stalin. In 1929 the Soviet Union established gun control, and confiscated weapons. Between 1929 and Stalin's death in 1953, twenty million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Somewhere in there, is a lesson to be learned and remembered.
At 7:55 on the Sunday morning of December 7, 1941, Japanese bombers attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor. Three out of the eight battleships stationed there were sunk, one was run aground, and one was capsized. The other three also were damaged. Eleven smaller ships were destroyed or damaged badly, 170 planes that were on the ground were destroyed, 2,403 people died, and an additional 1,178 were wounded. Japan also conducted strategic strikes on Guam, Midway, Hong Kong, and Malaya. FDR called it "a date which will live in infamy". The Japanese government was Fascist in nature and when Hitler and Mussolini heard that the United States had declared war on Japan, they declared war on the United States. Japan became an Axis Power, and joined Germany and Italy in their cause.
The Japanese had planned for this war for many years and were heavily dug in with fortified positions on many of the islands in the Pacific. Iwo Jima was one of the toughest to take, and in the photo below we see six Americans raising the American flag on Mount Suribatchi, the highest point on the island. Three of them were killed soon after this picture was taken.
The Japanese had proven themselves to be cruel butchers everywhere they had conquered, and were seen as sowers of death , who would rather die for their God/Emperor than surrender.
In January 1933, Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany, with consequences that are now a matter of recorded history. As early as 1933, Germans were being told to turn in their guns. In 1938 Germany made it mandatory. "All military type firearms are to be handed in immediately ...The SS, SA and Stahlhelm give
every respectable German man the opportunity of campaigning with them. Therefore anyone who does not belong to one of the above named organizations and who unjustifiably nevertheless
keeps his weapon ... must be regarded as an enemy of the national government."
"Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA - ordinary citizens don't need
guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State."
The German gun control act of 1938 was preparing for the future as the following statement shows: "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjected people to
carry arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjected peoples to
carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing....So let's not have any native militia or police."
More than six million Jews, including a million and a half children, were systematically murdered. An additional 3 to 4 million Gypsies, homosexuals, mentally ill people, and other "mongrelized peoples," unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. The Jews were condemned to death simply because they were Jews. As the Nazi armies swept through Europe, they were rounded up, herded into ghettos, starved, tortured and killed. Those who did not die in the ghettos were deported to the death camps in Germany, Poland and Russia. There, the able-bodied were selected for slave labor; the rest were sent to the gas chambers, their bodies cremated or simply dumped into mass graves. Only a few managed to organize armed resistance against the Nazis.  The Jews of Europe faced their fate virtually alone while the world stood by. Of almost seven million Jews, in what were once the most vibrant Jewish communities in the world, only 250,000 survived. Socialism by any other name, is still Socialism. The Holocaust happened as a result of Socialist policy. This lesson must be learned and remembered. 
Now, if you haven't done so already, go back and read what the World Federalist Association and the Club of Rome have planned for you. Remember, Bill Clinton and many more in our government are members of these organizations, and fully support their goals. To read Bill Clinton's view of our future, which has gone virtually unmentioned by the liberal media, click HERE and don't think that Hillary doesn't march in lock-step with Bill. They are politically indistinguishable. For those of you who support these same goals and are not part of the elite, be warned, when they have achieved their goals and you are no longer needed you will crushed, chewed up and spit out as undesirables. I weep for your future and the future of your children who will live in poverty, uneducated and on the brink of starvation, while the elite will live in luxury wrung from your labors. Any protests will be dealt with harshly, just as they always have been in Socialist countries. Is this a prediction? In a way, yes. However, in reality, it is simply a look back on the past, on lessons learned. "Those that forget history, are condemned to repeat it." 
Wake up, America! Support your Constitution and those who will protect it for you. Don't give up your firearms, for without them you have no chance at all.
 Another shadow that threatens the globe. "We have to recognize the degree and severity of the threat posed by Radical Islam. They have already killed thousands of us and, if allowed to, would kill millions. They see this as a many centuries struggle. We must be resolved to fight this war as long as it takes so that they do not achieve their hopes and dreams. They are willing to sacrifice millions of people to see the end of Western Civilization and we must understand this. We must be unrelenting in our advance and be fully committed to winning this long war. The consequences of failure are an end to life as we know it today."
Apologists today are proclaiming out of fear and political correctness, that "Islam is a religion of peace."         |
In 1770, Americans were massacred, in the streets of Boston, while protesting the actions of a tyrannical government which included unwarranted search and seizure. Three years later, in the same city, Americans, again in protest, this time over increased taxation, held the Boston Tea Party. On April 19, 1775 the battle of Lexington-Concord touched off the American Revolution, and the fight for independence was underway. 
The lessons of history are sometimes difficult to learn, even for governments. In 1918, the United States was unprepared to enter World War I. In 1941 we were unprepared to enter World War II, and in 1950, just a short 5 years after the end of World War II, we were unprepared for the Korean War. Then, in the 1960s, along came Vietnam. It was the first war ever, as far as I know, that was fought with no intention of winning. The people of this country were upset with the war and rightly so. However, to our disgrace, this nation treated it's returning vetrans, men and women who had answered their country's call, like dirt. The ones who should have been treated like dirt were the draft dodgers who ran off to Canada and other countries to avoid the draft. The draft dodgers were pardoned, and the vets were scorned.
Those who ran off should never have been allowed to return without having to pay for their crimes, for crimes they were. Jane Fonda
who gave aid and comfort to the enemy, should have been tried for treason. Today our military is strong and ready, but the government is selling our technology to foreign powers who just a few years ago were our sworn enemies. Let's not forget these lessons. Let us never be unprepared for war and let us never enter a war without the determination to win.
Socialism comes in many flavors, under many banners, but the end result is always the same. Socialism became the greatest scourge of humanity in the 20th century. It has been, and continues to be, the greatest cause of human suffering and death the world has ever seen. What do Socialist governments have in common? Historians and poilitical scientists tell us that Communism under Lenin, Stalin, or Mao, Hitler's National Socialism, Mussolini's, Franco's, or Japan's Fascism and Modern American Liberalism are all left-wing movements with virtually identical political and social ideologies. They all practice government control over the economy, education and health care, over the means of production, and elitist control over people's lives. They all persecute religion (Christianity), and keep the populace ignorant of all but state approved subjects, so they are easier to control. Eventually, once the populations are disarmed, they often turn to racism, slavery and genocide. Somewhere in there, is a lesson to be learned and remembered.
In 1931 Japan invaded Manchuria and set up a puppet government under the last Manchurian Emperor. From there, they continued their expansion throughout China. In order to halt oppostion they outlawed all organizations capable of resistance and, established a policy of gun control.
By 1937 they held much of China. The Japanese were brutal masters, and in their conquest paid little attention to the fact that they killed innocent civilians right along with defenders. As a matter of fact they tolerated not even perceived protestations. Retaliation, against the unarmed populace, was swift and certain as the accomanying pictures show. If you look closely at the picture on the right you will see that the Japanese soldier is holding a head by its ear in his left hand, and is really enjoying himself.
In a multi-pronged attack designed to give them control of the entire western Pacific Ocean, the Japanese struck at the Phillipine Islands and simultaneously carried out a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and our Pacific Fleet that was stationed there.
The illustrated poster is a result of the Bataan Death March in the Phillipines in which more than 5,000 American soldiers were killed. This event has significant meaning to my family as, the Minister that married my Mother and Father, and baptised me, was starved to death on this march.
The war in Europe ended on May 8, 1945, but the Japanese fought on and to save the lives of perhaps thousands of Americans, who might otherwise die in an assault of Japan proper, the decision was made to drop an atomic bomb on a Japanese city in the hope that it would force them to surrender.
Throughout Asia and the Pacific, between 1931 and 1945, countless victims lost their lives to their Japanese conquerers. It was little wonder that the United States felt justified in making the decision to use the A-bomb. As it turned out, it was necessary to drop a second bomb before the Japanese saw fit to surrender. In America and elsewhere today there are people ignorant of histoy's lessons who would have us appologize for dropping the bombs. Apparently these people would rather have had thousands more American G. I.s die on Japanese beaches. Go figure!
Today the Japanese are seen as the worlds major producers of electronics and automobiles, and anyone born after the Second World War has no memory of the atrocities the Japanese were capable of, but this is also something that should be remembered. The Japanese initiated gun control in China in 1935. After the war the killing continued, for when the Communists took over China in 1949 they saw little reason to change the policy. As a result, between 1949 and the present day, over twenty million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. This is something that should not be forgotten. However today, in return for Chinese financial help in getting them elected, the United States government is leasing land in California and elsewhere to the Communist Chinese and are giving them our technological secrets. Wake up America, before it is too late!
The Japanese officially surrendered in 1945, but the war goes on. Today, they are funding a United Nations study on the feasibility of disarming the world's civilian populations. As the United States is the only major power in which its citizens are still allowed to own firearms, it is obvious that this move is directed against the American gun owner. Should the United Nations come up with a treaty to do this, all it would take is the approval of the U. S. Senate, not the whole Congress, to nullifiy the Constitution and the Second Amendment. We could theoretically have U. N. troops, perhaps Japanese, going door to door confiscating our firearms. The Democrats, ever the liberal Socialists, are positioning themselves for this possiblity by loading Congress with anti-gun party members. Somewhere in this, is a lesson to be learned and remembered.
The Holocaust was a direct result of Adolf Hitler's National Socialism. This is something the world should never forget. Yet today, there are socialists that are trying to claim it never happened. Believe me, IT HAPPENED!
World War II broke out as a direct result of Hitler's expansionist aims. In the war, some 40 million people lost their lives, and millions more were forced into concentration camps. The "lucky" ones ended up in slave labor camps.
What a surprise! Socialism used to come with a red ribbon tied around it, but they took the saying "Better dead that red" seriously and changed colors. World Socialism now comes packaged and tied with a blue ribbon. While we were busy with the Cold War and the Old Socialism, the New Socialism was busy entrenching itself in the United Nations and governments around the world, including the United States.
"Don't let that shadow touch them" is a poster issued during World War II, warning about the dangers of National Socialism. It can still be effective today to warn about World Socialism.
Socialism by any other name, is still the same old Socialism. It is all about power and control.
Some commentators see “Islamofascism,” an incorrect term by the way, as a movement defined by Islamists who seek both a return to Sharia law and the violent creation of a new unified Muslim state. This is often viewed by radical Shi'a Islamists as a worldwide Islamic state led by a leading Islamic jurist. A few scholars have cautiously used the term fascism to discuss certain forms of militant Islamic fundamentalism. Groups labeled "Islamofascist" are not uniform in doctrine and some, for example Wahhabi and Shia groups, can be seriously out of step with each other. “Militant Islamic fundamentalism,” or simply “Militant Islam” is a term that covers all of the radical Muslim groups and is better suited to today’s world wide situation, than Islamofascism.
