Peace at any cost is a prelude to war!
The Left's war against America
By James Henry
No. 137, 11 - 17 October 1999
Few people appreciate the power of ideas. When they experience the social and
economic effects of intellectually inspired long-term trends, many tend to
ascribe the process to a conspiracy of some kind. (If only that were so).
More than 160 years ago J. S. Mill wrote of how the ideas of a few writers
can eventually influence the thinking of a nation's intellectuals. Keynes
made a similar point when he wrote: "Madmen in authority, who hear voices in
the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few
years back. I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly
exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas. Not, indeed,
immediately, but after a certain interval. . . . But, sooner or later, it is
ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil."
The strength of the Left has, in my opinion, always lain in its understanding
of the power of ideas. With few exceptions the so-called right has tended to
treat ideas with disdain, preferring to concentrate on traditional values, as
if these were independent of ideas. This gross error by conservative forces
allowed Leftist ideas to capture the media, universities, much of the school
system and the entertainment industry, especially Hollywood. In a sense, its
greatest triumph was in giving America the most corrupt administration in the
nation's history.
Once a nation's so-called elites begin to think alike, regardless of the
content of their ideas, they will tend to direct the nation along a path that
accords with their world-view. Once we understand this fact, even the most
incredibly stupid statements will make sense. Let's take as an example Deputy
Secretary of State Strobe Talbott's publicly expressed view that the United
States might not exist in its current form in the 21st Century because he
believes that nationhood will have become obsolete. (A view not shared by the
Russian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese and Korean governments, just to name a
few).
Anyone with Talbott's views would not have found a position in a responsible
and intellectually sound administration. But this is the sensitive '90s and
Bill 'I-feel-your-pain' Clinton lounges about in the Oval Office. It took a
Chinese columnist, Peter Zhang, to cleverly sum up the situation with the
observation that America is being run by the "Arkansas Hick and his merry
band of '60s dipsticks with their fairyfloss intellects and LSD-coloured view
of the world [who] continue to pursue policies that puts the United States
mainland at considerable risk."
And the '60s is the key. The likes of Talbott and the Clintons have their
intellectual roots in the left-wing ideas that swept through American
universities in the '60s. The malevolent fruits of that intellectual plague
captured the humanity faculties and after 30 years of relentless Leftist
indoctrination succeeded in thoroughly polluting the nation's intellectual
environment. The products of this intellectual pestilence now dominate the
media and much of the legal profession, including the judiciary; our schools
have been contaminated to an extraordinary degree as has the entertainment
industry. Even corporate boardrooms have succumbed to this poisonous brew.
The basis of this ideology is a pathological hatred of America. Understanding
this fact makes us realise that Talbott, a former journalist and college
roommate of Clinton, is not really calling for a world government but the
destruction of the USA, an oppressive, exploitative and racist society. These
were the ideas that the likes of Talbott absorbed during their college days
and they have never renounced them. This is the principle reason why Talbott
and the rest of Clinton's "merry band of '60s dipsticks with their fairyfloss
intellects" are so light on China1. It's really all America's fault, meaning
"white America". This lot are so riddled with shame and guilt they are
prepared to sacrifice America's interests in order to atone for her alleged
sins while exculpating their own.
Talbott is an interesting example of the political decay and hypocrisy of
America's self-anointed political elites. He shared the radicals' enthusiasm
for the 'peace movement' and their doctrine of 'moral equivalence' that not
only equated America's faults with the totalitarian Soviet Union's atrocities
but also accused Reagan of being provocative, of being the villain, but never
the Soviets. Talbott's ridiculous assertion in Time that the collapse of
communism proved the peace movement had been right all along served to
demonstrate that this ideological moron is congenitally incapable of learning
the lessons of history. The trillions of dollars the US had spent on holding
Soviet barbarism at bay were, according to Talbott, a complete waste of
resources. That Reagan's defence push finally precipitated the Soviet
collapse does not even register with Talbott. No wonder State Department
veterans treat him and the rest of Clinton's Leftist trendoids with contempt.
The Washington-based Institute of Policies studies has been at the brain
center of the Left's war against America. Established in 1963 by Richard
Barnet and Marcus Raskin (both former government bureaucrats) and funded by
the Rubin Foundation (Rubin was a thief, a Soviet agent and a member of
Stalin's Comintern). The IPS is a phony educational organisation, registered
with the IRS as a 501 (c)(3) organisation, that has waged a relentless war
against this country, supporting its enemies abroad, including Hanoi, the
Sandinistas, Castro, the defunct Soviet Empire, etc, and giving aid to its
enemies at home. According Raskin the US deliberately started the Cold War as
part of its plan to "reach for the brass ring: world hegemony."
The insidious and destructive influence of the IPS pervades the media and now
reaches into the Oval Office, with Clinton giving appointments to IPS
luminaries like Derek Shearer, Anthony Lake and Morton Halperin, a former
Kissinger aid and a character witness for Philip Agee, traitor and KGB agent.
(Incidentally, Agee was also strongly connected to the IPS). These people are
not even the tip of the IPS iceberg; hundreds of people with IPS links are
now operating — or should I say maggoting away — through government agencies
and departments. To these ideologues America is the real enemy.
Harvard's W.E.B. DuBois Institute provides a graphic example of the degree to
which the Left has corrupted our universities, turning them from centers of
learning to centers for hating. The Institute encouraged Noel Ignatiev to
launch "whiteness studies," the absurd basis of which is that "whiteness" is
a "social construct that is oppressive and must be abolished." Far from being
amusing, disciples of this racist left-wing cult produce a magazine called
Race Traitor. To this crowd to be white is a social cancer that has to be
removed by violence. If you think there is not much to choose between these
left-wing fanatics and Nazi's, you'd be right.
That these ideological thugs are preaching race hate and inciting racial
violence seems to meet with the approval of the Harvard faculty and other
universities, the mainstream media and most of America's publishing houses.
Why? Because they too are infected with the self-hating leftist ideology of
the '60s. It should be patently clear that their ultimate aim is the
destruction of America. It is their ideology that drove prayer from our
schools and devastated educational standards; it is the same ideology that
foisted multiculturalism on us and damns its critics as racists; this is the
ideology that is subverting our cultural heritage by indoctrinating our
children with a hostile view of their history and culture.
The Left's malicious nihilism is impacting on every aspect of the nation's
culture. The almost farcical response of Clinton to the discovery of
Kennewick Man is a sickening example of the pervasiveness of the Left's
ideology and its contempt for scientific truth. Kennewick Man is thought not
only to be more than 9,000 years old but of Caucasian origin. If this is
true, then a momentous scientific and cultural discovery has been made. But
such a discovery does not fit the Left's ideological view of the US. In
keeping with this view, Clinton ordered the site destroyed and the bones
vandalised in the hope of destroying any possibility of determining the
remains racial origins. This is a calculated Orwellian attempt by the Left,
through Clinton, to try and control the present, and hence the future, by
destroying historical evidence. There is no clearer evidence of the Left's
power, influence and malice, especially in the media.
The Left's campaign is not a culture war but a war against a culture by
creatures who have nothing to offer but hate and loathing. These ideologues
and their media allies are the real enemy. These are ones who have to be
confronted and defeated.
1Clinton's venality and moral turpitude should not blind anyone to his
Leftist beliefs. He honestly believes, like Teddy Kennedy, that he should be
forgiven every trespass because his 'heart' is good. He'd be pathetic if he
wasn't so dangerous.
