I awakened the other morning from a dream to a vivid certainty. The certainty is that America is in mortal danger. Our country has reached a pivot point in its national existence, and the American people must now decide whether this country will be victorious or join the long line of historically vanquished nations. Here is the dream: A young hawk is let loose in the sky. It is lean and strong and full of life's surging impulse. And it is hungry. It circles the sky in search of food, and then it dives. In a moment, it fastens upon and tightly clutches a healthy pigeon. It forces the pigeon to the ground. There, it bites open the neck of its prey and sucks the life blood from its heart. In the awful ineluctability of that reality, the pigeon's submissive protests simply fade into silence. If my dream is merely the product of "an undigested bit of beef" (hat tip to Charles Dickens), then I beg forgiveness for what will surely be seen as an alarmist article. But if my dream is tinged with prophecy, what then? If America's light goes out, it will fail in its historic mission to hold up a beacon of freedom in the world, and that will surely be a tragedy for all people of good will. But how many Americans actually understand that it is possible for our nation to fail? Do we think America cannot die like the hapless pigeon of my dream? If so, we had better think again. Nations have died many times throughout recorded history -- big nations, powerful nations. They die from a multitude of causes and in a myriad of circumstances. But when they die, their death is always accompanied by the draining away of the people's will to survive as a cohesive and powerful nation. If the American people do not have the will to reclaim their national identity and power from the predators now draining this country into lifelessness, the America we know will surely die. Our country is already gripped tight by foreign and domestic predators, and the sinews of our national power are steadily weakening. If we do not want to be present at America's funeral, we must summon the will to overcome the mortal dangers that confront us. For decades, we have allowed one kind of predator to package and sell America piece by piece on the international market for the sake of private profit, [1] while another kind of predator has been busy on the domestic front giving away huge hunks of American prosperity for the sake of political power. [2] In consequence, we have lost energy independence, heavy industries, financial solvency, cultural cohesion, educational excellence, and something we used to call the American middle class. But those are only a few of the more obvious outward signs of the deadly struggle taking place in America. There is also a battle going on for America's soul. Intellectual integrity, political principles and moral standards are being deliberately attacked and undermined. The assault on America's universities and public schools by the forces of cultural Marxism has produced two generations of citizens who possess almost no knowledge of American history and very little understanding of the requirements of a civilized society. [3] Our politicians promote domestic divisiveness while they pursue international policies deliberately designed to weaken our nation. [4] In their arrogance, the cultural elite inculcate irreverence, glorify nihilistic violence, and demean the Judeo-Christian values on which this country was founded. To survive, our nation cannot allow this behavior to continue unchallenged. In the epic Indian poem known as the Mahabharata, the Lord Krishna observes that "Destruction never approaches weapon in hand. It comes slyly on tip toe, making you see bad in good and good in bad." In that succinctly stated truth lies the greatest danger that confronts our nation. Krishna did not mean that warriors lack weapons of destruction. He meant that all wars are won in the will, and when a people lose the ability to distinguish between good and evil they will be unable to summon the will to resist when the forces of destruction approach. [5] So, the question for Americans is this: Do we have the will to oppose the predators trying to choke the life out of America, or have we lost the moral clarity necessary to confront the forces of destruction? The answer to that question will determine whether America joins the list of nations whose historical greatness is now just a distant memory. If the triumphant cry of the American eagle becomes the submissive whimper of a dying pigeon, it won't just be Americans who suffer. People of good will all over the world will have cause to grieve that loss. Jed Gladstein is an attorney, author, educator and professional speaker. |

The people...also called sheeple...are waking up...but at a fast enough pace? There are many of us seeing what's really happening, yet most of the sheeple are locked into entertainment!!! and our News meia gives them Pap and more entertainment...but never the news!!! They are largely responsible for the decline of the country...the watchdogs are asleep, or are really helping with the deception!! They are not telling us that anything is wrong!! They in fact support the destruction of this country into Fascism!! The liberals are willingly pushing the agenda, thinking they will win something other than the coming slavery!!! We have very little "free" time left!!
