Prometheus in Cambridge, England

For those of you following the virtually ignored story about the blacklisting of Michael Savage by the U.K. on May 5, and the unjust libel and slander committed by a Western democracy against an American patriot without a peep from the government-controlled media here, about two weeks ago my friend and intellectual mentor, who is the host of "The Savage Nation" radio program, received an unexpected letter inviting him to Cambridge University to debate on the subject of "political correctness."

Savage was both intrigued by this unique invitation, but suspicious. His fertile mind was going 100 mph. Was this a trick by the Labour Party of Prime Minister Gordon Brown? Were the socialist academics at Cambridge University setting Michael up for a big fall? Were clandestine forces trying to weaken or destroy the civil defamation suit Savage had brought against Jacqui Smith, the former home secretary, and Brown's administration? And most importantly to Savage: Would he be allowed to debate the team at Cambridge Union Society alone, or would he be paired up with an assortment of radicals, racists and demagogues?

For those who don't realize the monumental importance of being invited to Cambridge University, to the world's oldest and most prestigious debating society, founded in 1815, ask yourself: How many American intellectuals, academics, presidents, justices of the Supreme Court, congressmen, senators, big shots in the Stalinist media or commissars of the conservative right have received an invitation from the Cambridge University Union? Three people: Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan and Nobel Prize winner and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Michael, that puts you (and your ignored cause) in good company.

The doctor is in and the diagnosis is clear. Don't miss Michael Savage's "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder"

Below is the correspondence I immediately sent to my friend after I heard this wonderful news on Sept. 2:

Dear Prometheus,

This invitation by Cambridge is a godsend. You will have a world stage to present your case just as 113 years ago in 1896, the French writer and intellectual, Emile Zola, a Jew, passionately and adroitly defended the cause of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus in his front-page editorial that shook the world – "J' accuse!"

Capt. Dreyfus, although a decorated war hero and artillery officer was sent to Devil's Island by the French government, his own country, based on trumped up charges of treason when in reality everyone knew it was because of vulgar anti-Semitism of the French, which goes back even before the French Revolution.

Even the esteemed scholars at Cambridge said it best: "We think that you are more qualified than anyone to talk about the subject of political correctness in America and Britain."

Go to Cambridge University. … Go and bring sanity and Reason back to England and America!

~ Ellis

Later that same evening I sent the following missive to my friend:

Instead of speaking via a live video uplink from America, travel to Europe with your family if they will go. Make a mini vacation out of it. Get as close to England as you can. Do it from the shores of Normandy if you can work out the logistics. (The irony and metaphors from that location alone will fill volumes of books!)

If not Normandy, then Paris or some other noteworthy location in France. Go to Ireland and do your debate with the Cambridge Union Society from there.

I'm busting with joy for you, Michael. This is just the beginning. God will indeed have his revenge against all the Nazis, communists, Marxists and socialists … and YOU will be his weapon.

I hope Michael Savage does go to the debate at Cambridge for the reasons stated above, but also because he would not be going there for himself, but for the 10 million weekly listeners to "The Savage Nation." Savage will be our voice, our representative in a foreign land, our Prometheus … our gladiator in the arena of ideas who will wage intellectual battle against the socialist barbarians who have prevented him from stepping foot on their land.

We love England: The land that gave us the Magna Carta (1215), John Locke's "Two Treatises on Government" (1689) and William Blackstone's "Commentaries on the Laws of England" (1765-69) – transcendent documents of liberty, freedom, Natural Law and morality that became the foundational materials that the framers of America's Constitution used to write the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

An irony of ironies: Although America fought a brutal and vicious war with England called the American Revolution (1775-83), had we won the war but failed in our duty to establish our republic upon transcendent ideas of legality, morality and Natural Law, which are out of the Judeo-Christian tradition of intellectual thought, no doubt our revolution would have devolved into chaos, tyranny and genocide as all revolutions before and afterwards have done throughout history.

For example, the French Revolution (1789-99) was a revolution based on positive law, the secular Enlightenment and humanism, not God. The result: the French Revolution gave France the Reign of Terror, the Committee on Public Safety, the Jacobins and their bloodlust leader, Maximilien Robespierre, as approximately 40,000 heads fell to the guillotine without trial, without due process ... without justice.

I don't want to be unduly melodramatic here. Michael Savage isn't dead; he still has his head and a measure of liberty, so to speak – but does he have his freedom? The freedom to visit the land of England, which bequeathed to America's Founding Fathers the sacred, inalienable rights – Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Michael, the entire audience of "The Savage Nation" and I beseech thee to go to Cambridge, England. Go to the land of the King James Bible, the land of the Magna Carta, the land of Sir Winston Churchill and present your petition of Due Process, Justice, Liberty, Reason, Freedom and Veritas (truth). Tell our cousins across the pond that PC doesn't mean political correctness, but "perversity correctness," that true freedom of speech means the obligation and willingness to hear those you may passionately disagree with. For to do otherwise makes us all either slave masters or slaves to tyranny.
