The German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, warned us back in the
19th century with his famous theme, the “Transvaluation of Values.” An
ominous world dictatorship was coming where good would become evil, and evil
good. Freedom would be thought of as slavery, and slavery would become
freedom.
He “boldly prophesied that power politics and vicious wars were in store
for the future. What he sensed was an approaching period of nihilism,
the seeds of which had already been sown.” [1]
Ironically, even though Nietzsche warned against this, it was his
philosophical thought that helped to usher it all in because he rejected the
notion of universal moral law. “Man himself becomes the determiner of
values,” he asserted. “[Man] does not require to be approved of; he passes
the judgment….he is [the] creator of values.” [2]
Thus the traditional sources of morality that had built Western
civilization – Natural Law and the God from which it springs – were rejected
vehemently by Nietzsche. And his intellectual progeny in our schools
throughout the 20th century have vigorously preached, in their teachings,
this moral relativism.
If you wonder why the world is awash in the criminality of statism and why
screaming youth saturate the streets throwing rocks and shouting down
speakers at their gatherings, here is the reason. The mindless brute has
returned to our society because our professors teach “moral relativism” and
“political collectivism” (the philosophical underpinnings of the brute)
throughout the schools of America.
A ruthless moral relativism dominates the pathways of our lives today
because Nietzsche fashioned a philosophy of Man himself as the creator of
value. Man, he said, was not meant to discern values transmitted from
God and Nature (as the sages of Western civilization had taught for thousands
of years). He was to actually make values. Truth was not found;
it was to be formed. God and nature were myths of primitive people.
The intelligentsia of the 20th century bought this apostasy lock, stock
and barrel, and intertwined Nietzsche’s nihilistic relativism with Marx’s
political collectivism to attack traditional freedom’s economic manifestation
of capitalism. The result is the decadent tragedies we see before us in our
media, in our universities, in the streets, and in the halls of Congress.
This Nietzschean “transvaluation of values” is the source of Orwell’s
three famous slogans in his novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, that were
inscribed on the entrance to the Ministry of Truth headquarters: “War
Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Truth.”
Since Nietzsche, everything is turned upside down. Everything is inverted.
Slavery is now taught to our children throughout the school system as a “new
kind of freedom.”
This is the scourge of the political left today. This is why the
establishment elites work so hard for more collectivism in America, and
protest harpies throw tantrums and rocks at anyone who represents less
government and more freedom. Their value systems have been inverted in the
deeper recesses of their minds by their professors. They see capitalist
freedom as slavery, and of course, they see Donald Trump (who advocates
freedom) as a tyrant.
Corrupt the language and the money, and capitalism will fall, Marx
maintained. We no longer have education in the schools; we have ministries of
propaganda pumping the poison of servitude into callow minds.
Nietzsche told us also that there are millions of humans who are born
“slave mentalities.” They will naturally gravitate to a slave system because
of their abhorrence of the rigors of freedom. Thankfully the bulk of humans
want to be free; but a sizeable minority of humans do not. It is these “slave
mentalities” who are so susceptible to the professorial poison in the
universities and thus man the front lines of the rock throwers. They become
the cannon fodder for the George Soros ilk of this world.
Can we who love freedom overcome this? The jury is clearly still out. The
forces of leftism, collectivism, and globalism are so entrenched in modern
American society that they may do what Ayn Rand warned, “usher in a thousand
year Dark Ages” if not countered with a surging movement for the restoration
of reason and Constitutionalism among the American people.
The Leftist Factions Against Trump
There are five basic factions in today’s society that have a visceral
hatred for Donald Trump and have forged a resistance to his administration
that is destroying any hope for American restoration from a Trump presidency.
Their goal is to produce legislative stagnancy over the next three years on
the hallmarks of his “Make America Great Again” agenda, to therefore
neutralrize him, and thus doom his re-election chances in 2020. The stage
will then be set for resumption of our march toward the globalist World
Government that has animated American politics for the past century.
These five basic factions aligned against Trump are: 1) the liberal
multiculturalists of the Democrat Party, 2) the collectivist professors of
our universities, 3) the “fake news” media pundits, 4) the quisling RINOs and
Neocons of the Republican Party, and 5) the CIA, FBI, NSA, Pentagon complex.
Let’s elaborate on these factions:
1) Liberal multiculturalists have, for over 50 years, promoted open
borders and an immigration system based on “compulsive diversity” rather than
the “rationality of merit.” This has led to a myriad of different ethnic
groups becoming citizens who shun the speaking of English and possess no
knowledge of, or respect for, our Constitutional system of limited
government.
Compounding this problem of ethnic chaos is a sinister stream of Islamic
terrorists sneaking in under liberal laxity that ignores national security
and common sense to promote political correctness, and then makes use of
“chain migration” to allow terrorists to sponsor fellow terrorists as
immigrants also.
For example, the ISIS inspired, Muslim immigrant, Sayfullo Saipov, who
recently plowed his truck into a crowd of New Yorkers killing eight and
wounding twelve others, arrived in 2010 and apparently sponsored 23 fellow
Muslims by means of the policy of “chain migration.” How many of his
sponsorees were fellow terrorists?
2) Collectivist professors in our schools indoctrinate their
students with Marxist-Keynesian statism rather than presenting to them the
great ideas of Western civilization and the founding principles of America,
and then encouraging them to draw their own conclusions. Consequently we are
breeding historical-philosophical eunuchs, not men and women of independent
intellectuality.
3) The media pundits of the major TV networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN,
CNBC, in addition to the major newspapers, New York Times, Washington
Post, LA Times, etc., all oppose Trump’s advocacies of less
government, tight borders, low taxes, and a non-hegemonic foreign policy.
Only Fox supports Trump, but only on domestic issues. They reject his desire
for a non-hegemonic foreign policy and détente with Russia.
4) The RINO-Neocons make up the bulk of the Republican Party (men
like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Lamar Alexander, Rob
Portman in the Senate, and the likes of Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Peter
King, Mike Simpson, and Cathy Rodgers in the House). They are advocates of
mega-statism, soft on amnesty for illegals, desirous of more spending, and
advocate a hegemonic imperialism in foreign policy. They are anti-Tea Party
conservatism and free-market libertarianism.
5) The Military-Security bureaucracies are comprised of the CIA,
FBI, NSA, and the Pentagon. Except for the NSA, these bureaucracies are
necessary for the defense of America. But unfortunately they have expanded
way beyond that function since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. They now
wish to spread American influence and control over the Mideast, Russia, and
China via intervention and the butt ends of their rifles rather than let
America be a shining light of liberty to be emulated rather than obeyed.
These five factions are consumed with irrationalism and power lust. They
dominate the culture, the corridors of politics, and the halls of academe.
Since Trump opposes four of these factions and is very distrustful of the
fifth, he is now under a vicious attack. He still has a huge constituency of
patriot American voters with him and sundry groups of supporters in Congress.
But will that be enough to fend off the liberal elites and their “Never
Trump” comrades of the GOP? This is the crucial question that stands before
us today.
I believe most Republicans subconsciously support the Deep State and want
Trump to fail, which is why they dragged their feet so badly on Health Care.
They want Trump gone so vehemently that they are willing to sell out the
people’s wishes on this crucial reform and risk a Democratic take-back of
Congress in 2018 in order to deny Trump any semblance of success. In 2020
many RINOs and Neocons will surreptitiously support whoever the Democrat
presidential candidate is. After all the Republican Party (except for the
Freedom Caucus in the House and maybe a dozen conservatives in the Senate) is
nothing but Democrat light. They would actually be happier had Hillary won.
RINOs and Neocons are blatant quislings. They wouldn’t know a “principle
of freedom” from a kindergarten nursery rhyme. The Constitution is but a
scrap of paper to them. Political correctness governs their minds like
repugnance enshrouds Harvey Weinstein.
Monstrous lies prevail everywhere. The Washington establishment is in huge
denial of truth, and hates those who speak it. This is the source of the
intense animosity that the liberal, neocon, RINO creeps of mega-statism hold
for Trump. He speaks the TRUTH, which these traitors to “Americanism” do not
want to hear because it exposes exactly who the real villains are in the
destruction of America – they themselves. Thus they, and the Deep State
bureaucracies lurking behind them, must use every smear tactic they can
conjure from their septic tank of tricks to try and destroy Trump’s
presidency.
It’s going to be a ghastly and tumultuous next three years. If Trump
survives this Orwellian nightmare, I will be surprised. The hideous forces of
opposition against him are frightening.
For example, the neocon elites at the State Department and the Pentagon
have already brought about capitulation on Trump’s views regarding the
Mideast wars. Neocons have also effectively destroyed any hope of détente
with Russia by ratcheting up their demonizing of Putin with flagrant lies
about his handling of Ukraine and Crimea. Thus the swamp creatures are
clearly winning in this contest of patriot outsider versus the piranhas and
pythons of Washington.
Most alarming is the fact that our National Security Agencies loom always
in the background with Trump clearly in their gun sights. Their powers of
intimidation are overwhelming as anyone who has studied JFK’s assassination
understands.
