<p><em>&#8220;The administration has now lost all credibility. Mr. Obama is proving the truism that the executive branch will use any power it is given and very likely abuse it.&#8221; ­­</em></p>
<p>– New York Times editorial board</p>
<p><em>&#8220;… One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship&#8230;.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>– George Orwell, &#8220;1984,&#8221; Chapter 3, Sec. 3</p>
<p>Welcome to the dystopian world of evolution atheism, of the Age of Obama, of George Orwell&#8217;s &#8220;1984,&#8221; written in 1949, being lived out by over 315 million Americans in 2013.</p>
<p>Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old college dropout and contract computer analyst for the National Security Administration has leaked very sensitive information of national concern, which can harm all Americans by putting our safety in jeopardy by alerting America&#8217;s enemies of our vulnerabilities. Snowden, in violating his oath of secrecy, was unrepentant: &#8220;Everyone everywhere now understands how bad things have gotten – and they&#8217;re talking about it. They have the power to decide for themselves whether they are willing to sacrifice their privacy to the surveillance state.&#8221;</p>
<p>The American people have lost faith in their government due to new daily revelations about how the Obama administration has violated our right to privacy. From the IRS targeting conservative, tea party, Jewish, Christian and patriotic groups to the Department of Justice targeting Fox News and AP journalists for surveillance, from the revelation that the NSA is tracking the telephone calls of most Americans to the public circus of whistleblower Bradley Manning&#8217;s trial, which is ongoing.</p>
<p>According to John Whitehead, constitutional scholar and president of the Rutherford Institute, &#8220;The America we learned about in school, the one celebrated in songs and poems, the one to which our ancestors flocked in hopes of starting a new life based upon promises of wealth and liberty, is getting harder to find with every passing day.&#8221; Whitehead documents in his new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590799755/?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1590799755&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;tag=worldnetdaily-20">&#8220;A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State,&#8221;</a> that &#8220;the American ideal of freedom and civic involvement is being replaced by a technocratic nightmare in which government bureaucrats and their allies in the corporate sector rig the rules of society in order to protect the power and privilege of a select few politicians and businessmen. All the while, the majority of the American people are kept in check via debt, imprisonment and a vast surveillance network which keeps us monitored, controlled and marching in lock step with the government&#8217;s dictates.&#8221;</p>
<p>We know now that the NSA has been methodically gathering voluminous amounts of information, not about Muslims plotting terrorist acts against Americans using their mosques as cover, but against law-abiding Americans – amounting to 3 billion telephone calls per day placed in the United States via the Verizon network, including telephone numbers, location data, call duration and other distinctive ID characteristics being sent to the NSA for analysis. Based upon a top-secret order handed down by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) in April 2013, Verizon has been forced to hand over its records to the NSA on an &#8220;ongoing, daily basis.&#8221; While the government maintains that no substantive content of telephone conversations were recorded, many American citizens are rightly concerned about this outrageous unconstitutional breach of our personal privacy.</p>
<p>While scandalous to most Americans, these revelations are an essential part of our tyrannical government in the Age of Obama. Depending on secret orders from government officials and the FISA Courts, which and were created by Congress under 9/11 hysteria, evidecnes seemingly little regard for protecting the rights of We the People. FISA rubber stamps NSA records requests, treating average Americans as enemies of the State while unaccountable government bureaucrats contravene all privacy protections, yet have the temerity to allege that they are in principle functioning within the boundaries of the law.</p>
<p>In full cover-up mode, the Obama administration wants us to believe that warrantless surveillance is chiefly intended for communications coming from foreign entities and that &#8220;reasonable procedures [are] in place to minimize collection of U.S. persons&#8217; data without a warrant.&#8221; Nevertheless, like Big Brother in Orwell&#8217;s &#8220;1984,&#8221; Obama and his minions are masters of propaganda, deceit, Alinsky defamation tactics (Rule 13: &#8220;Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it&#8221;) and Freudian displacement and projection techniques – ascribing to your political enemies evil ideas you hold.</p>
<p>George Orwell, a prophetic literary genius, sealed his place in the annals of history with &#8220;Animal Farm&#8221; (1945) and his dystopian novel &#8220;1984,&#8221; revealing the means/ends of all Marxists, socialists, progressive and evolution atheist regimes – replace the God of the Bible with the State as god. This reactionary, pagan political philosophy is based on using the vast powers of the State as a cudgel to punish, coerce, control and, yes, illegally hold the people under constant surveillance … under constant fear. Orwell wrote in &#8220;1984&#8243;:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.</p></blockquote>

<p><strong>Prologue</strong></p>
<p>Can Bob Dole, Joe Scarborough and Chris Christie fix the Republican Party? Former GOP Senate leader Bob Dole, who lost his presidential bid against Bill Clinton in 1996, answered that essential question in his blunt way during a Memorial Day weekend interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday: &#8220;I think they ought to put a sign on the national committee doors that says closed for repairs until New Year&#8217;s Day next year,&#8221; Dole said, &#8220;and spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas.&#8221;</p>
<p>If the answer to this critical question is yes, then I believe the GOP will continue its downward slide into political irrelevance – a political strategy that will inevitably lead to the GOP being the perpetual minority party.</p>
<p><strong>Something old: Bob Dole</strong></p>
<p>Former Republican Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, a 1980, 1988 and 1996 GOP presidential candidate, is a bona fide American hero who has deserved the decades of national admiration for giving body, soul and career serving his country in World War II, yet Dole has been on the dole for most of his 90 year life.</p>
<p>&#8220;And there&#8217;s the rub,&#8221; as Shakespeare would say. The problem with the Democratic Socialist Party and the GOP (&#8220;Grand <em>Old</em> Party&#8221;) is the Faustian bargain it forces good people to make – Mephistopheles demands your soul for political power. For people like Dole, who stayed in politics and government so long that he lost perspective, cutting deals, or as Dole said, &#8220;[spending] time going over ideas and positive agendas [of the Democratic Party],&#8221; is more important than proving to the American people that the GOP stands for unchangeable principles.</p>
<p>Somebody needed to tell Bob Dole at the start of his political career in 1961, over 50 years ago, that you don&#8217;t further your agenda by spending most of your career furthering the agenda of your avowed progressive, political enemies who despise <em>Veritas</em>, Natural Law and the original intent of the constitutional framers.</p>
<p>Who sets America&#8217;s agenda – Democratic Socialists or constitutional patriots?</p>
<p><strong>Something borrowed: Joe Scarborough</strong></p>
<p>Joe Scarborough, a former three-term GOP congressman from Florida and present co-host of the uber-leftist MSNBC morning show (&#8220;Morning Joe&#8221;), is so delusional that he fronts as a pathetic sock puppet for co-host Mika Brzezinski who daily prompts him to launch profane maledictions against conservatives – yet Joe still considers himself a Republican. Real conservatives like radio host Mark Levin calls him &#8220;The Morning Schmo&#8221; and don&#8217;t consider him part of the GOP. I consider Scarborough to be a duplicitous, fake conservative in the ignoble tradition of a Quisling or a Neville Chamberlain appeaser who long-ago sold his conservative soul for a fat leftist paycheck and a cushy job at MSNBC – a Pravda-esque, propaganda fake news network.</p>
<p>Day after day after day Joe Scarborough rants and raves on his MSNBC soap box about how &#8220;outraged&#8221; he is at the &#8220;extremism&#8221; of the Republican Party for allowing itself to be &#8220;hijacked&#8221; by &#8220;the crazies of the radical right.&#8221; Scarborough has been especially venal in his criticism of the NRA, launching <em>ad hominem</em> attacks against the organization – twisted delusions claiming the NRA helps gun manufacturers profit off the mass slaughter of innocents.</p>
<p>I called Scarborough &#8220;something borrowed&#8221; because all his life he borrowed ideas of others desperately trying to fit into a world he didn&#8217;t understand; a history he didn&#8217;t know.</p>
<p><strong>Something Ewww: Chris Christie</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve learned now from watching New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie since his introduction to the public eye in 2010 to expect the unexpected, especially when the unexpected is stabbing the Republicans in the back to keep his astounding poll numbers high (ewwww!). Earlier this week Christie called for a special election this October to fill the U.S. Senate seat left open by Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg&#8217;s death. The surprise move upends both state and national political worlds (including Christie&#8217;s present gubernatorial re-election in November and his future presidential aspirations in 2016).</p>
<p>Christie has now appointed New Jersey Attorney General Jeff Chiesa, a Republican, an interim senator to serve only until the special election in October 2013. The special election, which will cost the cash-strapped, Sandy-ravaged taxpayers of New Jersey $24 million, is to be held on Oct. 16, just three weeks before the governor stands for his own re-election on Nov. 5. To a media question about how much the special election will cost, Gov. Christie shot back angrily: &#8220;Frankly I don&#8217;t care!&#8221;</p>
<p>Gov. Christie, you hug the president on camera at every opportunity, begging Obama like a shameless strumpet for federal dollars to fix New Jersey, which remains in disrepair, yet you don&#8217;t care about how you waste the taxpayer&#8217;s money? &#8230; Ewww!</p>
<p><strong>Epilogue</strong></p>
<p>If the answer is no to the question, can Bob Dole (something old), Joe Scarborough (something borrowed) and Chris Christie (something ewww!) fix the Republican Party, then Republicans have a Herculean task ahead of them. We must regain the uncompromising tactics, strategies and ideals of Reagan conservatism, including pushing forward intelligent, iconoclastic GOP candidates like Trey Gowdy, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz (not Marco Rubio) who can speak conservative policy without stuttering, equivocation or looking lost. This can only be achieved once the tea party and Christian conservatives purge the establishment GOP of all deal-making, duplicitous Republicans who feign like they are Reagan&#8217;s heir when in reality they are politically and philosophically allied with Marxists and progressives of the Democratic Socialist Party.</p>
<p>On this the 69th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, I mean no disrespect to Sen. Dole, but any Republican calling himself a &#8220;conservative&#8221; whose career was based on making &#8220;deals&#8221; with Democrats against the original intent of the framers, against Reagan&#8217;s conservative revolution, constitutional liberty and against We the People is not a conservative. While arguably they may not be traitors, at least we can consider these pols – Dole, Scarborough and Christie – to be traitor sympathizers.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;If it had not been for Senator John McCain and President Obama being for what we knew at the time included al-Qaeda anti-rebel forces [in Libya], then we would still have a U.S. ambassador and three others alive today, because Benghazi would not have happened.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>~ Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas</p>

<p>Most conservatives, including radio icon Mark Levin, have nothing but utter contempt toward Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. and his acolyte, Sen. Lindsay Graham, calling them &#8220;media whores&#8221; for constantly pushing amnesty for illegal aliens, their incessant strivings to always be in the media eye and especially for their frequent claims of being a &#8220;conservative&#8221; while at every opportunity slandering young Turk conservatives like Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, Rand Paul, R-Ky., Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and my favorite, Ted Cruz, R-Texas.</p>
<p>When I read Cameron Joseph&#8217;s op-ed in The Hill, <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/global-affairs/middle-east-north-africa/302049-mccain-visits-syria-to-meet-with-rebels">&#8220;McCain meets with rebel leaders in Syria,&#8221;</a> like most Americans I asked myself: Why in the world is Sen. McCain in Syria giving away his coveted prestige to a motley crew of Muslim fanatics (&#8220;Syrian rebels&#8221;) who are trying to oust Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad? The Obama administration wants President Assad out of Syria because since 1970 this vicious dictator and his father, Hafez al-Assad, have murdered their way to illegitimate power while being a puppet state of Iran propagating Islamic terrorism worldwide.</p>
<p>The Syrian rebels have been quite clear what type of government they will establish once they oust Assad from Syria – a Muslim caliphate based on radical Shariah law. In other words, Syria will become an al-Qaida state.</p>
<p>Enter Sen. John McShame.</p>
<p>Cameron Joseph wrote in his op-ed that since the start of Syria&#8217;s civil war two years ago, Sen. McCain&#8217;s visit makes him the highest-ranking U.S. official to enter the country. McCain met with Gen. Salem Idris, the leader of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army and remains a leading opponent of the Obama administration&#8217;s Syrian policy, calling for the U.S. to provide heavier weaponry to support opposition forces seeking the ouster of al-Assad. The White House, though, has continued to focus on diplomatic solutions to gradually remove Assad from power.</p>
<p>Like a duplicitous Quisling, McCain is pictured all over the world grinning and shaking hands with the Syrian rebels even though they have committed a number of human rights violations and war crimes, including the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>A Syrian rebel carves the heart out of a dead government soldier and eats it. His comrades nearby cheer: &#8220;God is great&#8221;;</li>
<li>Torturing villagers, including widespread raping of women and selling of children as sex slaves;</li>
<li>Conducting summary killings, using child soldiers, sectarian violence and committing war crimes;</li>
<li>Hostage taking, torture and summary killing of soldiers, pro-government militias and civilians they&#8217;ve captured or abducted.</li>
</ul>
<p>CNN writer James Dawes, in a fine article, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/15/opinion/dawes-syria-video">&#8220;Why a Syrian rebel eats a soldier&#8217;s heart,&#8221;</a> had this interesting analysis demonstrating the chasm between civilized men and Muslim fanaticism:</p>
<blockquote><p>How can ordinary men commit such horrific acts? The war criminals I have met did not start out by desecrating corpses, torturing villagers or murdering children. They got there slowly. There are some men who are natural monsters, but most monsters are made.</p>
<p>This is how you make them.</p>
<p>First, take a man (and yes, it is most often a man) and isolate him. Separate him from his family and friends and put him in an information bubble, an echo chamber cut off from the outside world. Make him conform to the values of his new group by exploiting his insecurity and need for approval. This is the first step in any war.</p>
<p>Second, train him to think that the world is painted in black and white, not shades of gray. Train him in either-or, binary thinking. Either you are my friend or my enemy. Either you are pure or impure. Either the people you love are safe or they are in immediate peril. Either you are all right or you are all wrong.</p>
<p>Third, physically exhaust him. Break down his body and spirit – through brutal training or prolonged combat – until he can&#8217;t think straight. Subject him to a system of harsh and arbitrary punishment and equally arbitrary rewards. Condition him to feel helpless. A man who feels like he has lost control over his life is a dangerous man, because hurting others feels like control.</p>
<p>Fourth – and this is the most important part – start small. Work up to atrocity step by step. Put him into a strange and frightening environment with minimal regulation. Let the aggression escalate. Each violent act he commits while trying to survive will make the next act feel easier, more natural.</p>
<p>The first time he kills a villager, it is terrifying. The second time, it is hard. The third or fourth time, it starts to feel almost easy. Eventually, he finds himself competing with his fellow soldiers to see who can do it fastest, most often, most creatively.</p></blockquote>
<p>With this grotesque backdrop of utter terror, gratuitous slaughter and failure of international diplomacy, how in God&#8217;s name does Sen. McCain believe that giving greater weaponry to the Syrian rebels – these avowed Muslim fanatics who hate America, Israel and the West – will bring an end to the war atrocities in Syria? They will only escalate as Russia presently has over a dozen warships in Syrian waters running patrols while Assad has vowed to wage war against Israel.</p>
<p>In a macabre paradox, it is fitting that a Syrian rebel soldier ate the heart of a dead Syrian soldier, since Sen. John &#8220;McShame&#8221; has made his 30 year political career – dating back to the President Ronald Reagan years – by eating the heart out of the Republican Party by undermining it at every opportunity to make himself look more important than he really is. His fake presidential run in 2008 was done to keep any viable Reagan conservative off the ticket (he called Obama a &#8220;descent man&#8221; and appeared reluctant to debate him seriously), thus paving the way for a two-term Barack Obama presidency of shackling America in Democratic Socialism. This is why I think Sen. John McCain is a RINO – a Republican in name only.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;The infernal hurricane that never rests / Hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine&#8221;</em></p>
<p>~ Dante, Inferno V, lines 31-32</p>
<p><strong>Prologue</strong> {Lillibridge Elementary, c. 1971}</p>
<p>I can clearly remember that fateful day filled with lachrymose as if it were yesterday: a transcendent day inside the reading room of Ms. Mirandi&#8217;s fifth-grade at Lillibridge Elementary, Detroit, Mich. I was 10 years old. By &#8220;reading room&#8221; I mean a corner of the classroom decorated like a library. There were three or four nice decorative chairs, a small sofa, a Persian rug, a coffee table, a lamp and, of course, the epitome of that wonderful space … a bookshelf filled with classical books.</p>
<p><strong>Dante&#8217;s &#8216;Inferno&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>Two books I remember with an inexplicable clarity are John Milton&#8217;s &#8220;Paradise Lost&#8221; and &#8220;Dante Alighieri&#8217;s Divine Comedy – Hell, Purgatory, Paradise,&#8221; translated by Henry W. Longfellow, Illustrated by Gustave Doré.</p>
<p>This book became my obsession. While I didn&#8217;t know it then, this classic opus would also become my destiny.</p>
<p>Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I will focus on Doré&#8217;s pictures, for it was these exquisite etchings that pricked my soul, that convicted me that I, even as a little boy, was a sinner in danger of eternal hell like those tragic figures Doré illustrated in Dante&#8217;s &#8220;Inferno,&#8221; and therefore I needed to make a sober, rational decision based on both deductive reasoning and faith – to give my heart, my life, my soul to God.</p>
<p>God created my body, soul and spirit, and my spirit would never have rest in this life until I gave my soul back to its Creator who first gave it to me. Since my father abandoned me as a little baby I had issues of low self-esteem, loneliness and fear, which led me to foolish decision making, most prominently anger.</p>
<p>Dante wrote in Inferno VII, lines 115-116: <em>&#8220;Son, thou now beholdest / The souls of those whom anger overcame …&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Page after page after page I read. Canto after canto after canto, like Dante&#8217;s guide, Virgil, I eagerly followed where his words took me. I bore witness to the unspeakable horrors of hell with a mixture of childlike wonder, fear and utter revulsion, yet I couldn&#8217;t stop reading that book every day … every way. I was obsessed with Dante, but more with the illustrations by Doré. It was like within those grotesque illustrations of horror and damnation I saw my very soul reflected back to me: THERE, lost with the millions of others who had died without God down through the ages captured by the genius of Doré as no artist ever could in the above-titled panel, &#8220;The infernal hurricane.&#8221;</p>
<p>Would this be my fate? Would I remain eternally lost inside this ghetto hell? Dante wrote in Inferno III, line 9: &#8220;Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.&#8221; Was my destiny already decided? If so, then should I follow the Siren song of the Greek Epicureans whose philosophy was: &#8220;Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die&#8221;?</p>
<p>No, No, No! I rejected the zeitgeist of hedonism, for I saw its pernicious and life-destructive effects on the lives of the people I lived with in my neighborhood; inside the hopeless, racially segregated ghettos of Detroit after the 1967 riot – the pimps, the prostitutes, the pushers, the drug addicts, drunks, hustlers, and gangbangers … the idle, the lazy, the lost. This was my hell as I, like Dante and Virgil, passed by them daily as a little ghetto boy going to school. Therefore, I knew if I did what those people did I would end up in Dante&#8217;s Inferno, and I earnestly didn&#8217;t want to remain inside that abode of the damned. Yet, I also remembered a sermon of a preacher whose text was 2 Peter 3:9: <em>The Lord is not … willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.</em></p>
<p><strong>Epilogue:</strong></p>
<p>It was August 1976. I was 14 and about to start high school. Since I was starting a new chapter of my life, I felt it was time to get my eternal soul right with God. My mother, being a teacher, always had lots of books around. That day I found a Good News translation of the Bible in our basement and read it for several hours until I got to this passage in Acts 16 regarding St. Paul&#8217;s conversion of the Philippian jailer:</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230; and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?</p>
<p>&#8220;And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.&#8221;</p>
<p>That Bible passage, joined with the classics I read years before in Dante&#8217;s &#8220;Inferno,&#8221; Milton&#8217;s &#8220;Paradise Lost&#8221; and other canonical works, compelled me to fall on my knees in my mother&#8217;s basement that fateful day of Aug. 8, 1976, and I invited Christ in my heart and asked Him to save me from my sins by the blood He shed for us all on Calvary&#8217;s cross … and He did.</p>
<p>Twenty nine years later, while traveling to see his grandmother, I was telling this story to my son, Stone, and he immediately said like the Philippian jailer, &#8220;Father, I want to accept Christ into my heart too!&#8221; I was taken aback and pulled the car over to explain in detail what this critical decision would mean. He assured me that he was ready. Not only was he 10 years old, the same age when I was compelled to follow God by reading Dante&#8217;s &#8220;Inferno,&#8221; the same work I made Stone read which drew him to God, but Stone also made his declaration to God under the Jewish Star of David at the same church (a former synagogue) where I first made my public declaration to God almost 30 year before. Stone didn&#8217;t know any of this information, for I never shared it with him, but God knew… and God remembered me.</p>
<p>Forty years after first discovering Dante in Ms. Mirandi&#8217;s fifth-grade classroom, my new two-volume book, <a href="http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/the-progressive-revolution-liberal-fascism-through-the-ages/">&#8220;The Progressive Revolution,&#8221;</a> contains cover art by Doré of Dante&#8217;s &#8220;Inferno.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Soli Deo Gloria!</em> (Glory to God alone!)</p>

<p><em>&#8220;We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>~ Lenin</p>
<p>Dr. Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist and noted Fox News conservative commentator, responded to Bill O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s inquiry regarding leftist hegemony inside the Academy with these astute, historical observations:</p>
<blockquote><p>KRAUTHAMMER: I&#8217;m not sure I think so – and I do go back to the 1960s when instead of a fringe protest here and there these radicals took over the universities; they occupy them. They dictated policy. The administrations caved in, the police stayed out. And then they did even something more effective. They realized, well, you know, coming in from the outside is really not going to do much. You get a little attention, publicity. But the left decided late in the 1960s, early in the 1970s, [to begin what was called] &#8216;The March through the Institutions.&#8217; They got inside. They did it legally. They did it the right way. They got their Ph.D.s. They got appointments. They got tenure. They kept out conservatives.</p></blockquote>
<p>Rudi Dutschke, the German student-movement leader, in 1967 reformulated Antonio Gramsci&#8217;s philosophy of cultural hegemony with the phrase <em>Der lange Marsch durch die Institutionen</em> (The Long March through the Institutions) – an overt war metaphor harkening back to Mao&#8217;s Long March (1934–35) of the Communist Chinese People&#8217;s Liberation Army. Democrat Socialists throughout Europe, Russia, South America and here in America used &#8220;The Long March through the Institutions,&#8221; where the working class, through persistence and force, would fabricate their own organic intellectuals and culture (dominant ideology) to replace those imposed by the bourgeoisie.</p>
<p>This bring us to the thesis of this column: America, we are currently living in the tragic aftereffects of the Lenin-Gramsci &#8220;Long March through the Institutions.&#8221; Take, for example, the recent trilogy of scandals now plaguing the Barack Obama administration:</p>
<ul>
<li>The whistleblower testimony regarding the Benghazi deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others on the 11th anniversary of 9/11;</li>
<li>The Department of Justice illegal phone monitoring of 18 Associated Press journalists and the illegal wiretapping of over 100 AP calls; and</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/05/16/some-conservatives-targeted-by-irs-say-they-plan-on-filing-civil-suit-against-irs/">Internal Revenue Service targeting and blacklisting over 500 groups based on political ideology</a> including tea party, conservative, Republican, Christian, Hispanic and Jewish groups by inhibiting the securing of 501(c)(4) nonprofit status as &#8220;social welfare&#8221; groups, which since March 2010 effectively amounted to Democratic Party voter suppression of Republican voters.</li>
</ul>
<p>Here, I will focus my analysis on the latter scandal of IRS blacklisting of conservative organizations. Breitbart.com journalist Wynton Hall, in an essential article on the IRS case, wrote about a Marxist/progressive organization called ProPublica founded by radical socialists George Soros and Herbert and Marion Sandler – a group to whom the IRS gave classified tax records of conservative, tea party, Jewish and other GOP-allied organizations.</p>
<p>In his article, titled <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/05/14/Progressive-Group-Says-IRS-Gave-Them-Confidential-Docs-On-Conservative-Groups">&#8220;Progressive Group: IRS gave us conservative groups confidential docs,&#8221;</a> Hall wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>ProPublica says the documents the IRS gave them were &#8220;not supposed to be made public&#8221;:</p>
<p>The same IRS office that deliberately targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 election released nine pending confidential applications of conservative groups to ProPublica late last year. &#8230; In response to a request for the applications for 67 different nonprofits last November, the Cincinnati office of the IRS sent ProPublica applications or documentation for 31 groups. Nine of those applications had not yet been approved – meaning they were not supposed to be made public. (We made six of those public, after redacting their financial information, deeming that they were newsworthy.)</p>
<p>The group says that &#8220;no unapproved applications from liberal groups were sent to ProPublica.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Media Research Center Vice President for Business and Culture Dan Gainor, ProPublica&#8217;s financial backers include top progressive donors. …</p></blockquote>
<p>Since the 1848 publication of Karl Marx&#8217;s &#8220;The Communist Manifesto,&#8221; history has repeatedly demonstrated that the Lenin-Gramsci &#8220;Long March through the Institutions&#8221; is an established Marxist/Socialist tactic and proven philosophical strategy to indoctrinate a comprehensive socialist hegemony throughout society (years before the Dutschke moniker was coined) by systematically deconstructing bourgeoisie capitalist culture and society rooted in Judeo-Christian traditions and by co-opting, taking over and eventually controlling all major societal institutions – not from <em>without</em> via violence and revolution as in Marxist/Socialist revolutions of the past, but <em>within</em> via Fabian Socialism – steadily, quietly, imperceptibly and with Nazi-like efficiency over a long period of time.</p>
<p>Historically speaking, &#8220;The Long March through the Institutions&#8221; is a cultural hegemony of Eurocommunism that has philosophically deconstructed and transformed all of the social sciences, by infusing activist polices of socialist, liberal and progressive politics throughout America, Europe and the world. The methodical discourse of cultural hegemony is vital to research and synthesis in sociology, political science, anthropology and cultural studies; in education, cultural hegemony devised crucial paradigms, by which the foundation of social and political discontent can be recognized, deconstructed and transformed.</p>
<p>Take a dispassionate view of history; pick any institution in American society and culture from law, religion, education, media, medicine, academia, to politics, journalism, labor, economics, science, business, the arts, modeling, Broadway, Hollywood, and I assure you that over the past 100-160 years all of these institutions have been systematically corrupted and perverted by evolution, atheism, Marxists, socialists, communists, liberals and progressives through their existential &#8220;Long March through the Institutions.&#8221;</p>
<p>Obama as a renowned public figure would not exist if this weren&#8217;t true.</p>
<p>Will men and women of good will stand up and united fight against this entrenched liberal fascism? Will patriotic Americans stand strong and begin to tear down these tyrannical walls of welfare statism FDR built in the 1930s and &#8217;40s; that LBJ expanded in the 1960s and that Barack Obama with Saul Alinsky zeal marched through every American institution throughout the early 21st century?</p>
<p>How Christians, Republicans and conservatives deal with these three big Obama/Democratic Party scandals will determine the answer to these critical questions of modern times &#8230; indeed, for it will dictate our collective future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Socrates (470-399 B.C.) was a famous Greek philosopher from Athens who taught Plato. Plato taught Aristotle, and Aristotle taught Alexander the Great. Socrates used a simple but cleverly profound method of teaching by asking revelatory, piercing questions. The Greeks called this form &#8220;dialectic&#8221; – starting from a thesis or question, then discussing ideas and moving back and forth between points of view to determine how well ideas stand up to critical review, with the ultimate principle of the dialogue being <em>veritas</em> – truth.</p>
<p><em>Note: This symposium is based on the biblical passages 1 Kings 22: 1-24 and 1 John 2:16. </em><em>(</em><em>For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.</em>)<em></em></p>
<p>Characters:</p>
<p><strong>Socrates</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jesus Christ</strong></p>
<p><strong>Satan</strong></p>
<p><strong>Demon No. 1 </strong> (Beelzebub, the chief demon)</p>
<p><strong>Demon No. 2</strong> (Hedonism = lust of the flesh)</p>
<p><strong>Demon No. 3</strong> (Evolution Atheism = lust of the eyes)</p>
<p><strong>Demon No. 4</strong> (Cult of Acceptance = the pride of life)</p>
<p>(<em>Setting:</em> Symposium of Socrates, inside the abode of hell)</p>
<p><strong>Socrates:</strong> In this my blackest, diabolical symposium, we are gathered this dark night in Satan&#8217;s abode of hell to discuss a paradox of the ages: Why are the children of men so predisposed to cast away everything of value – logic, reason, friends, family, God, the Bible, the Constitution, a meaningful life, innocent little babies – to embrace the depraved Cult of Acceptance?</p>
<p><strong>Satan:</strong> (<em>meeting with his chief demons</em>) For millennia we have plagued the children of men by setting at war of children against parents, husbands against wives, race against race, religion against religion, nation against nations. Forty years ago, I even raised up Justice William Blackmun to perform my will in a 7-2 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade (1973). In a single generation, I resurrected the <a href="Doctrine%20of%20Molech">Doctrine of Molech</a>, which had been dormant since the Dark Ages. I compelled humanity to commit global genocide against humanity. Nevertheless, the children of men have still multiplied upon Earth.</p>
<p><strong>Demon No. 1</strong> <strong>(Beelzebub)</strong>: What can be done to destroy the sons of Adam so that the underworld and Earth can be brought together as thy united kingdom of evil, oh Satan? An empire to rival that of the God of heaven who in ages past cast us out down to Earth and imprisoned us in hell because there was sin found in thee – and in We.</p>
<p><strong>Satan: </strong>Who will go to Earth to do my will? Who will go to avenge my evil against God, His Christ and the sons of Adam?</p>
<p><strong>Demon No. 2: </strong>I will go!<strong> </strong>I am the Spirit of Hedonism. I will entangle the sons of Adam into the five &#8220;P&#8221;s: pleasure, porn, perversity, pedophilia, prostitution.</p>
<p><strong>Satan: </strong>Have you ever heard of Hollywood? Next!</p>
<p><strong>Demon No. 3:</strong> I will go!<strong> </strong>I am the Spirit of Evolution. Mankind prides itself on skepticism, naturalism, materialism, progressivism and science. Therefore, I will take a nobody atheist son of a Christian minister, send him on a long voyage to the remote islands of the Galapagos and fill his naive mind with scientific mythology of evolutionary atheism, kill truth and damn the world.</p>
<p><strong>Satan: </strong>We tried scientific atheism in 1859 when Charles Darwin published the first edition of his &#8220;Origins of Species.&#8221; It kept many out of God&#8217;s kingdom, but I demand more souls!</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-432933" src="/files/2013/05/130511demons.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="234" /><strong>Demon 4 (Cult of Acceptance):</strong> May I have a word?</p>
<p><strong>Demons 1, 2, 3:</strong> (<em>in unison)</em> Who are thee?</p>
<p><strong>Cult of Acceptance:</strong> I am the Spirit of the Cult of Acceptance. My techniques are so simple, my tactics so sublime, my strategies so effective that the sons of Adam have followed my primrose path to hell for millennia but never realized the error of their ways until it was too late!</p>
<p><strong>Satan: </strong>What malevolent plan do you have to forever turn the heart of God against the children of men?</p>
<p><strong>Cult of Acceptance:</strong> My plan is deviously simple. I will put a little thought into the mind of men. We call it &#8220;society.&#8221; With time, the sons of Adam will become obsessed with the idea of &#8220;fitting in&#8221; with society and its numerous institutions. It will dominate his worldview. It will cause him to curse God, neglect his family, truth, realism and let his Bible gather dust on his bookshelf – all for the fool&#8217;s hope of being accepted by some person, some prestigious institution, some group of people he doesn&#8217;t even know or care about.</p>
<p><strong>Satan: </strong>Tell me more about this philosophy of worldview and fitting in.</p>
<p><strong>Cult of Acceptance:</strong> My evil scheme isn&#8217;t original. I actually borrowed it from you, oh Lord Satan. It was you who gave these evil tactics and strategies to our good friends Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. They called it worldview (<em>Weltanschauung</em>) and coordination or bring into line (<em>Gleichschaltung</em>).</p>
<p><strong>Satan: </strong>Yes! Yes! Now I remember. Oh, the devilish times we had killing those 6 million Jews during the Holocaust in addition to tens of millions of souls during World War II.</p>
<p><strong>Cult of Acceptance:</strong> Yes, Lord Satan, but before we have a bringing together, we need a new worldview, and before we have a new worldview, we must have a paradigm shift, a game changer. We need humanity to first change its worldview from biblical theism to evolution atheism. Our useful idiot in England, Charles Darwin, achieved this for us. In 40 years, with the help of our dutiful foot soldiers, the college professors of the academy spread the lies of evolution, atheism, dialectical materialism, social Darwinism, including natural selection, survival of the fittest, the world over.</p>
<p>With this atheist worldview established throughout the Earth, it was easy to establish what the Nazis called <em>Gleichschaltung,</em> or bringing into line, which quickly morphed into <em>forcing</em> into line (at threat of death). Pick any cataclysmic event in the history of the world – paganism, slavery, abortion, the rise of Islam, the Crusades, the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, World War I and II. It all followed the same diabolical pattern, the same two simple techniques and strategies, <em>Weltanschauung</em> and <em>Gleichschaltung</em>. We murdered billions and billions and billions of people over thousands of years, which combined to form the Cult of Acceptance.</p>
<p><strong>Socrates:</strong> Let us now hear the conclusion of this matter. Why are the children of men so predisposed to cast away everything of value – logic, reason, friends, family, God, the Bible, the Constitution, a meaningful life, innocent little babies – to join the depraved Cult of Acceptance?</p>
<p>Cowardice, fear, taking the easy road over the road less traveled, the praise of men are all good reasons, but I think it is an existential curse of human nature for the children of Adam to always want what they can&#8217;t have. It goes back to the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It goes further back with Lucifer, the archangel of God who was above even archangels Gabriel and Michael, whose visage illuminated the kingdom of heaven, yet he convinced one-third of all the angels to become allied with him in his maniacal war against God.</p>
<p><strong>Jesus Christ:</strong> At the start of my earthly ministry, I was in the wilderness fasting for 40 days and 40 nights when Satan, tempting me, took me to a very high precipice atop the mountain and in an instant showed me all the kingdoms of this world with its riches, fame, pleasures, power including the Cult of Acceptance. I told him, &#8220;Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written thou shall have no other gods before me.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>What would it profit a man to gain the whole world and to lose his soul? And what would a man give in exchange for his soul?</em></p>
<p><strong>Socrates:</strong> Answer: The Cult of Acceptance.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;During the reign of the Ku Klux Klan, they documented 5,000 deaths, during that 100-year reign [1865-1965]. In one week, 8,000 black people die, but they&#8217;re babies so they&#8217;re not counted.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>~ Pastor Levon Yuille</p>
<p>Last Sunday in downtown Detroit, about 45 anti-abortion protesters lined up outside Cobo Hall, where U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was the keynote speaker at the Detroit NAACP&#8217;s 58th Annual Freedom Fund Dinner – over 10,000 attendees. The protesters carried signs with slogans such as &#8220;Abortion Hurts Women,&#8221; &#8220;De-Fund Planned Parenthood&#8221; and &#8220;NAACP Wake Up! Abortion is Black Genocide.&#8221;</p>
<p>My radio show co-host and intellectual godfather, Rev. Levon R. Yuille, is also the director of the National Pro-Life Congress and the leader of the protest. He called on the NAACP to stop supporting &#8220;black genocide.&#8221; Pastor Yuille said he has led similar protests for the last six years at each of the Detroit NAACP&#8217;s annual diners. Of his reception to his protests, he said, &#8220;This crowd is very indoctrinated that&#8217;s coming to this dinner, to be perfectly honest. But there are some breakthroughs every now and then.&#8221;</p>
<p>The screaming headlines on the DrudgeReport told the tragic tale: <a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_MED_MORNING_AFTER_PILL?SITE=AP&amp;SECTION=HOME&amp;TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&amp;CTIME=2013-04-30-17-51-33">&#8220;FDA LOWERS AGE FOR BUYERS OF PLAN B PILL TO 15.&#8221;</a> America, now a 15-year-old little girl can go to her local drugstore, and right next to the candy bars, bubble gum and Tic-Tacs she can freely purchase the morning-after pill called &#8220;Plan B One-Step&#8221; to cleans her womb of all unwanted baby materials from &#8220;partying&#8221; the night before. Statics are demonstrative: 40 years since Roe v. Wade (1973) about 17 million little black babies have been murdered out of 58-60 million babies aborted in America. The worldwide abortion estimate since Roe is a staggering 1.72-1.80 billion babies!</p>
<p>The legalization of this genocide pill will make future abortion estimates impossible.</p>
<p>When did this black genocide start in America? About 104 years ago, the great black intellectual and founding member of the NAACP, Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, was frustrated by Republican President Taft&#8217;s failure to address widespread lynching of blacks. Du Bois, who was Socialist Party member from 1910-12, therefore endorsed Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson in the 1912 presidential race, in exchange for Wilson&#8217;s promise to support black causes. He was also secretly promised a job in the Wilson administration, which never materialized.</p>
<p>In a 1938 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, Margaret Sanger, the racist, eugenicist and founder of Planned Parenthood whose techniques and writings Hitler and the Nazis would later exploit to eradicate the Jews during World War II and the Holocaust, stated, &#8220;We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. <em>We don&#8217;t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.</em> And the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.&#8221;</p>
<p>Notice that Sanger said the ministers should be &#8220;hired.&#8221; There are many black ministers today who support abortion, and most of them still receive money from Planned Parenthood. These black false prophets have treacherously sold out tens of millions of little black babies for the Judas price of a traitor – &#8220;30 pieces of silver.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jonah Goldberg, in his milestone 2007 book, <a href="http://superstore.wnd.com/books/Liberal-Fascism-Book">&#8220;Liberal Fascism,&#8221;</a> wrote about progressives like Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Walter Lippmann, Rexford Tugwell, Herbert Croly and even noted black socialists and progressives like Paul Robeson, W.E.B. Du Bois, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes and other young writers of the socialist-contrived &#8220;Harlem Renaissance&#8221; who openly praised 20th-century tyrants.</p>
<p>For example, Goldberg chronicles Du Bois&#8217; flattering admiration of Mussolini, Hitler and Nazism:</p>
<blockquote><p>Before the Holocaust and Stalin&#8217;s doctrine of social fascism, liberals could be more honest about their fondness for fascism. During the &#8220;pragmatic&#8221; era of the 1920s and early 1930s, a host of Western liberal intellectuals and journalists were quite impressed with Mussolini&#8217;s &#8220;experiment.&#8221; More than a few progressives were intrigued by Nazism as well. W.E.B. Du Bois, for example, had very complex and mixed emotions about the rise of Hitler and the plight of the Jews, believing that National Socialism could be the model for economic organization. The formation of the Nazi dictatorship, he wrote, had been &#8220;absolutely necessary to get the state in order.&#8221; Hewing to the progressive definition of &#8220;democracy&#8221; as egalitarian statism, Du Bois delivered a speech in Harlem in 1937 proclaiming that &#8220;there is today, in some respects, more democracy in Germany than there has been in years past.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>As if celebrating Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler and the Nazis as a model for black improvement in America weren&#8217;t fanatical enough, for an encore, recalling his 1927 visit to the Soviet Union, Du Bois continued his servile propaganda of a Potemkin Progressive – &#8220;I am writing this in Russia,&#8221; he wrote back to his readers in the Crisis. &#8220;I am sitting in Revolution Square. &#8230; I stand in astonishment and wonder at the revelation of Russia that has come to me. I may be partially deceived and half-informed. But if what I have seen with my eyes and heard with my ears in Russia is Bolshevism, I am a Bolshevik [e.g., Communist].&#8221;</p>
<p>Remember, this man was the founding father of the NAACP. This communist demagogue even proudly accepted the Lenin Peace Prize in 1959!</p>
<p>President Obama, just Thursday, said that &#8220;he was comfortable&#8221; with his administrations&#8217; decision to allow over-the-counter purchases of a morning-after pill for anyone 15 and older. Obama&#8217;s Nazi-like disregard for human life was foreshadowed in his presidential campaign rhetoric in March 2008 when he remarked about the possibility of his two young daughters getting pregnant: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jszkPtsFH-k">&#8220;I don&#8217;t want them punished with a baby.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>Since Roe v. Wade, 17 million little black babies denied their 14th Amendment due process rights disagree with you, Mr. President and Dr. Gosnell. I call <em>that</em> a majority opinion.</p>
<p>In 1909, Du Bois and a group of largely white progressives founded the NAACP, which in addition to championing &#8220;civil rights&#8221; has given black America 104 years of perpetual ghetto life, promoting tribal groupthink, Nazi-like fidelity to black infanticide and voluntary servitude on the Democrat Party plantation. Thanks NAACP – the National Association for the <em>Abortion</em> of Colored Peoples. You have made Margaret Sanger and the KKK proud.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;Universities exist to transmit knowledge and understanding of ideas and values to students not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment for athletes.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>~ Milton Friedman</p>
<p>Eden Alice Washington is my 11-year-old daughter. The other day I asked her if she listens to pop singer Beyonce. She answered, &#8220;No! I don&#8217;t listen to that kind of music.&#8221; She doesn&#8217;t like Obama, she already considers herself a conservative, and she&#8217;s curious about Christianity. Eden&#8217;s generation – and that of her elder brother, Stone – will have their hands full turning back Obama&#8217;s <a href="http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/the-progressive-revolution-liberal-fascism-through-the-ages/">Progressive Revolution.</a></p>
<p>While I love America the Beautiful, one thing that vexes me to no end about this country is the excessive notoriety black people get for trivial vocations like sports and entertainment while we ignore, even despise, philosophers, intellectuals, critical thinkers – people who throughout history have changed society for good while all sports and entertainers have contributed is contained in this wise aphorism by the Roman poet Juvenal: <em>Two things only the people anxiously desire – bread and circuses.</em></p>
<p>For example, America throws away hundreds of billions annually to people who are functionally illiterate, people who can&#8217;t put two sentences together without saying, &#8220;uuuhhh,&#8221; &#8220;aaahhh,&#8221; &#8220;you know&#8221; or excessive stuttering. For bouncing a basketball, throwing a football, hitting a baseball or kicking a soccer ball, America, with Nazi-like efficiency, will search out the worst ghettos and barrios, traverse the deepest, darkest jungles of Africa, South America, Cuba, Haiti, the Caribbean Islands, and promise the world to a black mother while sitting in her living room trying to convince her and her fatherless son that playing basketball for the University of X will guarantee a life of fame and riches.</p>
<p>Come on, America! Without the NBA, Shaquille O&#8217;Neill would just be a 7-foot-1, 376-lb buffoon, a janitor who thinks he is a rapper.</p>
<p>Yet these same good white folks, progressives, who are unfortunately the gatekeepers of society, won&#8217;t lift a finger to encourage little black boys and girls to go to the library, go to the bookstore, read books, write essays <em>outside</em> the required reading lists of your Progressive Concentration Camps most people call &#8220;public schools.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dare to think different thoughts, to covet higher ideals, to refuse to be numbered with the 96 percent of blacks who voted for Obama in 2008 and the 93 percent who voted for him in 2012. Blacks for 100 years, dating back to that racist President Woodrow Wilson (1913-21), have voted for the genocide of their own race led by Dr. W.E.B. Dubois and the NAACP. But why? The Cult Acceptance – blacks have a crippling fear of ostracism by whites, provoking an obsession of acceptance of whites that prevents blacks from escaping their self-imposed hell of ghetto life and tribal Groupthink our forefathers fought against to be free from slavery.</p>
<p>Remember the songs slaves sang in the cotton fields? Songs of liberty, songs of freedom, songs truth and deliverance like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O5hz5KnSdc">&#8220;Steal Away&#8221;</a>:</p>
<p>Refrain: <em>Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus! Steal away, steal away home, I ain&#8217;t got long to stay here.</em></p>
<p>Compare this old Gospel song slaves sang to get free in the 19th century with the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYQjhxBwEBM">lyrics to Beyonce&#8217;s latest musical pornography, &#8220;Bow Down,&#8221;</a> which blacks (and whites) sing to become slaves in the 21st century:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I know when you were little girls</em><br />
<em> You dreamt of being in my world</em><br />
<em> Don&#8217;t forget it, don&#8217;t forget it</em><br />
<em> Respect that, bow down bit–-</em></p>
<p><em>I took some time to live my life</em><br />
<em> But don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m just his little wife</em><br />
<em> Don&#8217;t get it twisted, get it twisted</em><br />
<em>Bow down bit–-</em><br />
<em> Bow, bow down bit–-</em><br />
<em> Bow down bit–-</em><br />
Bow, bow down bit–-</p></blockquote>
<p>Family, not welfare, is the key to the emancipation of the black man in the 21st century. Yet, all I hear is Beyonce singing <em>Bow, bow down bit–-.</em></p>
<p>I wonder how many of the tens of millions of little black boys and little black girls are blessed enough to be raised by two parents in America? And, if so, are their parents brave enough, enlightened enough, disciplined enough to teach their children to put down the damn basketball, football, baseball, to unplug the little Xbox, iPad, iPod that enslaves your mind with Siren songs of anti-beauty, gangsta lifestyle, glorification of death, destruction and sexual immorality? Turn off the TV sometimes, and make your kids read a book and write you a summary of that book.</p>
<p>With all the &#8220;education&#8221; black people are said to possess in modern times, how many blacks dare to emulate the intellectual skills, the beautiful life of a Harriet Tubman, a Republican who once famously said, &#8220;I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more, if they only knew they were slaves.&#8221; How many blacks pattern their children&#8217;s lives after a Frederick Douglass, a Booker T. Washington, a George S. Schuyler, the unsung black conservative intellectual/writer from the 1920s-60s, or in modern times: a Dr. Ben Carson, a Dr. Thomas Sowell, a Dr. Walter E. Williams, a Pastor Levon Yuille, or my direct intellectual descendant, Justice Clarence Thomas?</p>
<p>And you wonder why for 40-50 years more black young men languish inside the brutal hellhole of prison or are entangled in some element of the penal system (i.e., probation, parole, half-way houses, juvenile, sexual deviant lists, etc.) than are presently in college. While I am not a conspiracist, this modern American tragedy is not by accident. I believe it&#8217;s part of a grand, diabolical plot by the Liberal/Progressive Revolution to purposely deconstruct America and all of her sacred institutions, including God, culture, law, politics, economics and the family.</p>
<p>For over 100 years, for 30 pieces of silver to join the Cult of Acceptance by the left, black leadership has sold out the black masses by the tens of millions to abortion genocide, voluntary ghettos, public school concentration camps, welfare dependency and the slave chains of the Democratic Party plantation. <a href="http://newjimcrow.com/">This is the New Jim Crow.</a></p>
<p>Yet, all I hear ringing in my ears is Beyonce demanding that all who hear her voice, all those who hate her out there (I guess that includes me) … to Bow, bow down bit–- &#8230; and worship the useful idiots.</p>

<em>Summum ius summa inuria.</em> (More laws, less justice)</p>
<p>~ Cicero, <em>De Officiis</em>, 1, 10, 33</p>
<p>America 2013 stands at the precipice of human history. Will Americans follow the progressive road to social, economic and moral perdition like their cousins in Europe have been doing since 1900, and increasingly since post-World War II, by embracing a seductive, gradual form of Marxism called &#8220;Fabian Socialism&#8221;? A &#8220;moral decay&#8221; is how Gibbon describes the fall of the longest-existing empire known to humanity. As it was with ancient Rome, so shall it be with America?</p>
<p>The fall of Rome has been a favorite topic of historians, especially since the publication between 1776 and 1788 of Edward Gibbon&#8217;s &#8220;The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire&#8221; (six volumes). In his fourth volume, Gibbon lays out his thesis:</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230; [T]he decline of Rome was the natural and inevitable effect of immoderate greatness. Prosperity ripened the principle of decay; the causes of destruction multiplied with the natural extent of conquest; and, as soon as time or accident had removed the artificial supports, the stupendous fabric yielded to the pressure of its own weight. The story of its ruin is simple and obvious; and, instead of inquiring why the Roman Empire was destroyed, we should rather be surprised that it had subsisted so long.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 1776, the year America boldly declared her independence from the tyranny of England under King George III, Gibbon had just penned his first volume of this magnum opus. In 1788, the final volume of his epic on the Roman Empire was completed. Just three years later America&#8217;s constitutional framers would ratify the Bill of Rights in 1791, including its transcendent First Amendment: <em>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.</em></p>
<p>Note that the framers of the Bill of Rights, or the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, considered them to be Natural Law – in other words, unalienable, God-given, enumerated rights held by all people and thus natural rights that could never be lawfully taken away by any tribunal or man&#8217;s law (e.g., Positive Law).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2011/08/28/delinquencies-juvenile-law-natural-law-analysis/">In a 2005 law review article, I quoted Franklin</a>, one of the most important contributors to the Constitution, to demonstrate how the framers diligently looked at the history of all known human governments, including Gibbon&#8217;s contemporary, comprehensive six-volume history, before they unanimously chose Natural Law, the integration of law and morality based on the Judeo-Christian traditions as <em>the</em> political philosophy and foundation of American law, jurisprudence and political leadership. In that article I wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hence, when the framers of the Constitution looked for a philosophy upon which to base this document, Benjamin Franklin summarized their sentiments quite aptly: &#8220;We have gone back to ancient history for models of Government, and examined the different forms of those Republics which having been formed. And we have viewed Modern States all around Europe.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>For most Americans, the First Amendment stands as the foundation of the Bill of Rights: limits on government Leviathan power to prohibit or compel religious beliefs, the right to have political opinions and freely express them, defense for a free press, the right to assemble peaceably and the right to petition the government, through protest or the ballot, for a redress of political grievances.</p>
<p>In addition, it is essential to realize that the First Amendment, like virtually all of the Bill of Rights, was not applicable to state governments until 1925 and to apply their substantive guarantees through the 14th Amendment, a process that did not begin until Fabian socialism and progressive radicalism crept into the Supreme Court beginning with Gitlow v. New York (1925) (ruling that the 14th Amendment extended the reach of certain limitations on federal government authority set forth in the First Amendment – specifically the provisions protecting freedom of speech and freedom of the press – to the governments of the individual states).</p>
<p>This pattern of leftist judicial activism from the bench would increase exponentially during the FDR/Truman eras (1933-53) as FDR&#8217;s bought-and-paid-for &#8220;New Deal&#8221; Supreme Court began out of whole cloth to create and propagate the so-called &#8220;incorporation doctrine&#8221; in many of its judicial decrees, starting with the infamous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footnote_4#Footnote_Four">Footnote 4 of Carolene Products v. U.S. (1938)</a> and going viral in Korematsu v. U.S. (1944) (holding that Japanese, Italians and Germans be placed in internment camps based on FDR&#8217;s Order 9066 during World War II).</p>
<p>Apply Gibbon&#8217;s warnings against the decadence of ancient Rome to modern America: &#8220;… the decline of Rome was the natural and inevitable effect of immoderate greatness. Prosperity ripened the principle of decay; the causes of destruction multiplied with the natural extent of conquest; and, as soon as time or accident had removed the artificial supports, the stupendous fabric yielded to the pressure of its own weight.&#8221;</p>
<p>This logically applies to the First Amendment by considering, for example, that until Gitlow, progressives hated the fact that Southern states before the Civil War outlawed pro-abortion literature; many states levied and collect taxes on behalf of state-sponsored churches and religious education; newspapers frequently were prohibited from publishing stories criticizing industry or certain connected political leaders because such speech was deemed seditious and consequently subject to prior restraint; and public protests regarding unpopular people or issues were repeatedly proscribed by state breach of peace laws.</p>
<p>Enter Pandora&#8217;s box – 40 years after Gitlow, in the 1960s, the Supreme Court began pushing its Darwinian, atheistic, progressive, anti-constitutional agenda and unleashed a nine-man sexual revolution using the incorporation doctrine to pervert the sexual mores of American society first in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), which was based in part on the right of married couples to make decisions about contraception. Next was Roe v. Wade (1973) (legalized genocide of the pre-born), Lawrence v. Texas (2005) (legalized sodomy) and Hollingsworth v. Perry (2013) (Court will rule in June on whether same-sex marriage is lawful in all 50 states under Equal Protection grounds).</p>
<p>Paraphrasing Gibbon: The story of its ruin is simple and obvious; and, instead of inquiring why the Roman Empire was destroyed, or why America committed self-genocide, we should rather be surprised that it had subsisted so long.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>“Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither and will lose both.”</i></p>
<p>~ Ben Franklin</p>
<p><i>&#8220;The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>~ Fourth Amendment</p>
<p>Welcome to President Obama&#8217;s brave new dystopian world of anti-Fourth Amendment fascism where he is pushing radical policies allowing the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/04/irs-claims-it-can-read-your-e-mail-without-warrant/?cat_orig=us">IRS to read your emails without a warrant;</a> Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., recently had his private office conversation illegally bugged, possibly by Democratic Party agents and published in <a href="http://nation.foxnews.com/mother-jones-mitch-mcconnell-wiretapping-scandal/2013/04/11/exclusive-kentucky-dem-reveals-who-secretly-recorded-mcconnell-meeting?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FoxNation+(Fox+Nation)">Mother Jones</a> (a la Nixon&#8217;s Watergate); and tens of thousands of drones are watching, recording and armed to bomb American citizens on American soil without judicial oversight or due process.</p>
<p>While the Fourth Amendment is often mentioned in connection with the Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments – the other primary provisions of the Bill of Rights regarding the criminal due process guarantees of citizens – and is historically connected to the adoption of the Third Amendment to abolish the hated practice of British officers using the general writ of assistance to enter private homes, conduct searches and seize personal property of the American colonists. Under the tyranny of King George III, the British officers wantonly abused the private property of the colonists and were not required to put forward a single, specific reason to justify a search warrant or give a good reason for the taking of people&#8217;s personal property. In the majority cases, the writ of assistance was used to confiscate items thought to have violated the severe British customs laws of the colonial era.</p>
<p>The twin foundations of the Fourth Amendment, the probable cause and warrant requirements, are an expressed historical indictment against the hatred the framers had for the Revolutionary-era practices of English rule. However, similar to the First Amendment, the guarantees of the Fourth Amendment did not pertain to state and local law enforcement practices until well after the ratification of the 14th Amendment (1868). It wasn&#8217;t until almost 80 years later when FDR&#8217;s handpicked progressive activists on the Supreme Court in Wolf v. Colorado (1949) arrogantly ignored 160 years of judicial precedent (<i>stare decisis</i>) and marginalized the original intent of the constitutional framers, ruling that the 14th Amendment due process clause made the Fourth Amendment binding on the states (e.g., &#8220;Incorporation Doctrine&#8221;), whereby evidence seized in violation of the probable cause or warrant requirements could not be used against a criminal suspect.</p>
<p>The Incorporation doctrine is the most reactionary of judicial legislation commonly invoked by modern judges, which has essentially turned the U.S. Constitution into an activist document of progressive, socialist change over the past 70 years since FDR&#8217;s &#8220;New Deal Court&#8221; systematically devastated Natural Law, the Rule of Law, fundamental constitutional jurisprudence and the original intent of the constitutional framers – creating such unconstitutional, judicial politics as the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Footnote 4—Carolene Products v. United States (1938) (FDR&#8217;s Progressive Court summarily rejected 150 years of Natural Law jurisprudence [particularly the so-called ' Lochner Era': 1897-37] and out of whole cloth created minimal scrutiny [rational basis review] to economic regulations, and proposed new intermediate and strict scrutiny levels of review for certain other types of cases).</p>
</li>
<li>Korematsu v. U.S. (1944) (Court affirmed the constitutionality of FDR&#8217;s Executive Order 9066, which ordered Japanese [as well as German and Italian] Americans into internment camps during World War II regardless of citizenship). N.B.: This was the first case to implement the fascist jurisprudence of footnote 4 of the Carolene Products case.
</li>
<li>Everson v. Board of Education (1947) (Court enacted the virulently anti-Christian doctrine separation of church and state).
</li>
<li>Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey (1992) (Court&#8217;s plurality opinion upheld the constitutional right to have an abortion [Roe v. Wade] and altered the standards for analyzing restrictions of that right, invalidating one regulation but upholding the other four).
</li>
<li>Lawrence v. Texas (2003) (Court struck down in the 6–3 ruling the sodomy law in Texas and, by extension, invalidated sodomy laws in 13 other states, making same-sex sexual activity legal in every U.S. state and territory, thus launching a Second Sexual Revolution using same-sex marriage battles America is entangled in 10 years later in 2013).
</li>
<li>National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius (2012) (Court upheld Congress&#8217; power to enact most provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act [ACA] and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act [HCERA], aka &#8220;Obamacare&#8221; including a requirement for most Americans to have health insurance by 2014).</li>
</ul>
<p>The Court&#8217;s most controversial decision on the Fourth Amendment was Mapp v. Ohio (1961), which established the anti-constitutional exclusionary rule where critical evidence gathered by the police can be withheld from proving defendant&#8217;s guilt if a single judge deems the evidence &#8220;tainted&#8221; or derivative of the so-called &#8220;fruit of the poisonous tree.&#8221; This is judicial tyranny writ large!</p>
<p>Historically, the Bill of Rights, particularly the Fourth Amendment, was to be America&#8217;s last stronghold against liberal fascism. President Obama, who fashions himself as FDR, part 2, is moving toward establishing his own private (Gestapo) army, ordered the EPA and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to buy (e.g., confiscate) billions of bullets, and is currently trying to pass a draconian anti-gun bill through Congress that amounts to a de facto deconstruction of our Second Amendment rights. Obama also has established a fascist drone program, which under the president&#8217;s dictates alone can order the bombing of American citizens on America soil without due process.</p>
<p>These unconstitutional Fourth Amendment violations are just part of Obama&#8217;s perpetual Progressive Revolution, designed since the 1860s to progressively push America into the abyss of economic, political and moral destruction while forcing this once-great nation to become a European-style socialist state where objective truth and science is killed by Darwinian evolution, capitalism killed by Karl Marx, the father of communism/socialism, God is killed by Nietzsche who in 1886 launched the &#8220;God is dead&#8221; movement fully embraced by early progressives, the Academy, liberals and atheists, and sexual chastity, the family and marriage killed by Dr. Pervert himself, Sigmund Freud, the father of psychiatry and psychoanalysis, while Judeo-Christianity is compromised and liberal fascism reigns supreme!</p>
