<\/p>\n

The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, Individual Rights,
\nJustice, honor, merit, and rugged individualism are vanquished,  <\/span>welcome back to the jungle\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6might is right, the
\nelite rule over the masses, torture, absolute rule, police state are the accepted
\norder of the day.<\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/p>\n

Translation\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.the new Dark Ages is upon us.  <\/span>Diseases once eradicated return. Planned, purposeful
\nIlliteracy and ignorance of history, science, mathematics, geography, philosophy,
\nEnglish, literature are being foisted on pupils and the masses as a whole. <\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/p>\n

The media and entertainment industries focus on pop
\nculture decadence and have little patience for rationality and much for
\nmindless emotionalism, i.e. pop stars, grief counselors, anger management,
\ndiversity, multiculturalism, victimhood, concocted shell-game \u00e2\u20ac\u0153terrorism\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/p>\n

As Ayn Rand succinctly wrote \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Art is the barometer of a
\nculture\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.  <\/span>In other words\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6judge the
\nmusic,  <\/span>movies,  <\/span>paintings, sculpture,  <\/span>values,  <\/span>mode of dress, manners, etc. which tell the
\nwhole story\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6compare these with late 1700\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6and you will find no comparison.  <\/span>Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s culture is the barbarian and the
\n1700\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s culture displays civility, rationality, and individualism.<\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/p>\n

When the Cultural Marxists and the international
\nfinanciers came for us we were not prepared, we were intellectually and
\nphysically lazy\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6hooked on modern conveniences and technology, unable to
\ncomprehend the value of neither freedom nor the price.<\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/p>\n

We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been outmaneuvered, outflanked, and conquered by an
\nideology devoted to our destruction, while we stupidly placed our faith in
\nelected & appointed officials. Scapegoat Islam can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t compete in this arena.<\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/p>\n

How many to this day understand the philosophical differences
\nbetween Plato and Aristotle, the collective versus the individual.<\/p>\n
