I used to wonder if the Romans recognized the fall of the empire was occurring while it was going on, or did they all succumb to the violent entertainments with which the mindless masses were kept occupied—Christians fed to the lions or burned as torches in the arena, and suddenly the glory that was Rome was no more.
Is there that much difference today when more millions go berserk voting for an American idol, than ever turn out to vote in elections? Or are more interested in the news of the day about arrests of multimillionaire basketball, football or “movie stars,” who drink too much, drive too fast, abuse their “partners” or even spectators in the stands?
Memorial Day and even July 4th are something these people know little about. Catherine Drinker Bowen’s claim (author of Miracle at Philadelphia, the story of the writing of the Constitution), that America’s young people today know little about the 4th was proven correct when this past 4th, a talk radio host interviewed a middle-aged woman from her voice-sound, asking her questions about the reason for the celebration. Her replies were amusing but pathetic. She thought we separated from Greece! Even that was pure guesswork, she knew she didn’t know! This is a condition deliberately created through schemes laid long ago which came into fruition in San Francisco at the writing of the charter of the United Nations. Now it is over sixty years since our youth have been taught from textbooks denigrating the foundations of our government and what was created in Philadelphia.
In San Francisco, there was a regular cadre of Soviet agents working on the formation of the UN. Stalin didn’t need to be there, he had his agents there in droves, chief among them, of course, was Alger Hiss who was in charge of the whole shebang. I have dropped Hiss’s name into conversations within recent months and was dismayed to be asked, “Who’s he?” Standing behind Hiss in the shadows, fellow members on the payroll of the State Department, was a whole cadre of Soviet secret agents, some of whom were later unmasked, and others still unnamed, making policies which have changed America’s destiny ever since.
No wonder Whittaker Chambers who blew the whistle on Hiss, sadly remarked when he left the Communist Party and became a “Witness” against it and its participants, that he had joined the “losing side.” Hiss, the unrepentant, ultimate Judas, who could never admit his affiliations lest it undo that which he had helped create, the UN and its many satellites, designed to drain America dry, but most particularly fulfilled, as an ancient Chinese warlord centuries ago, described, Supreme excellence was in not letting the enemy even know there was a war going on.
The United States was the first country to be created since the Roman Empire, drawn together by ethnicity, and above all, by a common ideal. The greatest instrument in that creation was George Washington, a man of singular integrity, so unique a personality, in fact, that one of UNESCO’s minions decreed that he should be eliminated from mention in American history lest children be inspired to emulate him! And so it has been.
Daniel Webster in his 1832 tribute and eulogy to George Washington, predicted about the new republic, “If these columns fall, they will be raised not again. Like the Coliseum and the Parthenon, they will be destined to a mournful and a melancholy immortality. Bitterer tears, however, will flow over them than were ever shed over the monuments of Roman or Grecian art, for they will be the monuments of a more glorious edifice than Greece or Rome ever saw, the edifice of constitutional American liberty.”
It would appear the Republic is well into its death throes now.
