“The humanistic way of thinking, which had proclaimed itself as our guide, did not admit the existence of evil in man, nor did it see any task higher than the attainment of happiness on earth. It started modern western civilization on the dangerous trend of worshipping man and his material needs . . . . gaps were left open for evil, and its drafts blow freely today.”—Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Harvard Commencement Address, 1978

Solzhenitsyn’s prophetic warning was not well-received by America’s atheist humanists. They were as star struck and deluded by humanism as were their WWII era liberal predecessors, described here by Malcolm Muggeridge: “..... my sense that Western man was...sleepwalking into his own ruin was the extraordinary performance of the liberal intelligentsia, who in those days, flocked to Moscow like pilgrims to Mecca. And they were utterly delighted and excited by what they saw there....clergymen walked serenely and happily through anti-God museums, politicians claimed that no system of society could possibly be more equitable and just, lawyers admired Soviet justice, economists praised Soviet economy. They all wrote articles in this sense which we resident journalists knew were completely nonsensical.”

Muggeridge continued, “How could this extraordinary credulity exist in the minds of people who were adulated by one and all as maestros of discernment? . . . How could you explain how people . . . (who claimed to be) ardent for equality, bitter opponents of capital punishment, and for more humane treatment of people in prisonb . . . should in the USSR prostrate themselves before a regime ruled over brutally andoppressively and arbitrarily by a privileged party oligarchy? . . . how could men display critical intelligence in other fields.....be so astonishingly deluded?”

Muggeridge concluded that it was their overweening sense of superiority. It was none other than Pride, the vice that caused first Lucifer and then man to fall, that closed their minds to reality and truth and led them to paint rosy pictures of forced labor, massive starvation, slavery, and the genocide of millions.

The same was true of Harvard’s humanists. They were as blindly faithful to their humanist belief system as were their WWII counterparts, and they did not want truth to intrude upon their ‘feel-good’ utopianistic fantasies or their towering self-conceit.

Many Americans are puzzled and alarmed by the drastic changes taking place in America. Two recurring questions I hear are, “What’s going on?’ and “How come it feels as though our world is turning upside-down?” The short answer is this: Our nation is in a state of purposely induced tumultuous transition. America is straddling two fundamentally opposed worldviews. One of them is her founding worldview based in
Christian-Judao moral ethics and principles wherein our Creator is sovereign and human life sacred since man is created in the image of his Maker.

The other is godless humanism/socialism according to which ‘elite’ man is sovereign and arbitrary maker of all rules and human life has no particular value or worth because ‘elite man’ has reduced human beings to mere chance-met protoplasm . So essentially, what is deemed to be truth in one worldview is a lie in the other. In one, human life has intrinsic value and is endowed with a natural right to life and liberty.
In the other, human protoplasm has no more worth than dung beetle protoplasm and is therefore not deemed worthy of liberty, let alone life.

The slow transformation of America from her Judeo-Christian culture of life and individual freedom to godless atheism, culture of death, and collectivized and mind-conditioned protoplasma-genderfree beings began many years ago. Back in the early 1920’s, John Dewey, ‘father of progressive education’ but in actual fact a humanist and co-author of  the Humanist Manifesto I, declared: “There is no God and ...no soul. With
dogma and creed excluded . . . immutable truth is . . . dead and buried. There is no room for fixed, natural law or moral absolutes.”

“Dick, Jane, and Sally” were not so innocent after all. That book series was just the beginning of the humanist “progressive education” agenda to dumb Americans down. Prior to “Dick, Jane, and Sally,” kids learned to read fom Aesop’s Fables, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and such. And before that, they used McGuffey’s Readers and the Bible.

The Ludwig von Mises Institute reported that by 1840 the Northern states had a literacy rate of 90%, while the Southern states had one of 81%. But by the 1960’s, Dewey’s humanistic education methods had finally begun bearing rotten fruit. On Aug. 15, 1976, the Los Angeles Times reported, “After edging upward for...more than a century, the reading, writing, and mathematical skills of American students from elementary . . .through college are in a prolonged and broad-scale decline unequaled in history. The downward spiral. . .began abruptly in the mid-60’s and shows no signs of bottoming out.”

The National Adult Literacy Survey of 1993 reported that among adults surveyed, 96% could not read or write well enough to go to college and 25% were simply unable to read at all.

With a shared vision of a godless, socialist society ruled by ‘elites,’ it wasn’t long before humanists and communists embraced eachothers’ agendas. In 1932, William Z. Foster, head of the Communist Party USA stated: “Class ideologies . . .will give place to scientific materialist philosophy . . .the American Soviet gov’t will . . .further the cultural revolution (by doing) the following: schools, colleges, universities will be coordinated...under the Nat’l Dept. of Education . . . studies will be revolutionized . . . cleansed of religious, patriotic . . .ideology . . .students will be taught . . .Marxian dialectical materialism (mind conditioning). . . internationalism (globalism/multiculturalism); general ethics of the new socialist society (moral relativism and how to be a world citizen). Science will become materialistic . . . God will be banished from laboratories as well as from schools.”

By 1951, humanism had so thoroughy infiltrated and spread its mind-numbing incoherency that William F. Buckley, in his “God And Man At Yale,” was prompted to say, “The teachings of John Dewey and his predecessors have borne fruit . . . there is surely not a department at Yale that is not uncontaminated with the absolute that there are no absolutes, no intrinsic rights, no ultimate truths.”

“The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty.......”—Benjamin Rush, Signer of The Declaration of Independance

By the 60’s, communists/humanists finally had co-conspirators in place within America’s court system. Thus began a series of brazenly corrupt USSC rulings that laid the groundwork for purging America of her Christian-Judao worldview. Without a single precedent cited, the 1962 USSC case, ‘Engel v Vitale,’ saw the Court declaring as unconstitutional, a ‘strictly voluntary, nondenominational school prayer composed by the NY Board of Regents’. On June 17, 1963, the USSC, in the ‘School District of Abington Township v Schempp,” and in ‘Murray v Curlett,” a Baltimore suit instigated by atheist Madelyn Murray O’Hair, ‘the justices ruled it was unconstitutional for a state to have portions of the Bible recited in schools, having determined that this was an establishment of religion.” Keep in mind that Bibles were the primary readers of both the colonists and  our Founders and were used in American schools a mere 30-40 years prior to this ruling. Justice Potter Stewart, the lone dissenting vote, said that the ruling had not led to neutrality with respect to religion but rather to the ‘establishment of a religion of secularism.” Two days after the ‘establishment of secularism,’ the Wall Sreet Journal “commented that atheism was now the one belief to which the state’s power will extend its protection.”

 

“By renouncing the Bible, philosophers swing from their moorings upon all moral subjects. ....It is the only correct map of the human heart that ever has been published.”—Benjamin Rush

With the establishment of atheism in the cat-bird seat, the next items to be struck down were the Ten Commandments, the foundation of liberty, of our Rule of Law, and the firmament upon which our Constitutional Republic was founded. This occured in the 1980 USSC case, ‘Stone v Graham.”

Our Founders wrote that if obediance to God were removed from America, a wave of crime would be unleashed that would eventually bankrupt the nation’s treasuries in our frantic efforts at containing it. More than just crime has been unleashed. America is reeling under the combined destructive forces of the disunifying effects of multiculturalism, the near collapse of traditional marriage, sexual debauchery, sex crimes, perversion. plagues of STDs costing billions of dollars every year, broken homes, violent gangs, lawless jurists, legislators, and mayors; kids killing and raping other kids, adults rutting upon children,  children being locked in closets and cages and starved and beaten, the elderly and disabled being coldbloodedly euthanized, and the killng of the unborn, which continues unabated.

 

“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” –Benjamin Franklin

America is quickly degenerating into a tribalized land of lawlessness and casually practiced barbarism where once she was a unified, law-abiding nation of families, children, safe neighborhoods, great civility and humanity.

The architects of this primal chaos knew these things would happen before they ever began to apply their social change-making schemes to America. How did they know? The Soviet Union and its people provided them with their first ‘laboratory.” Remember that these odious tricksters are the ideological seed of madmen like Lenin, Marx, and Nietzsche, and in their morally insane minds, they believe they are
applying science-based revolutionary theories to America in a cause of the highest humanitarian considerations. Sheer madness and self-delusion is more like it. These lunatic ‘pseudo-scientists’ view human beings as though they are nothing but dumb animals upon which they can test their maleficient theories.

The consequences of Lenin’s ‘scientific theories’ upon Russia and her people were absolutely catastrophic. Over 60 million people exterminated, economic destruction of the first magnitude, cultural collapse, a fertility free-fall from which Russia still suffers, and much more.

Mikhail Gorbachev, reflecting on 70 years of Russian decay, cultural collapse, and social turmoil observed “We have discovered that many of our problems . . . in children and young people’s behavior, in our morals, culture, and production . . . are partially caused by the weakening of family ties.”

Edmund Burke observed that man’s attempts at building secularized states was irrational. He said, “We know . . .that man is by his constitution a religious animal; that atheism is against not only our reason, but our instincts and that it cannot prevail long.”

Atheism is against our reason and instincts.  And then Solzhenitsyn: “They do not believe in evil.”

Atheism has put them on the ‘looking glass’ side of reason and instinct, hence it makes a bizarre kind of sense that these foolish ones, made blind by their self-pride, believe that evil is but a social construct. As a result, they become the ‘useful fools’ of and the conduits for the malevolent forces they profess not to believe in, which is why atheists have exterminated in excess of 100,000,000 human beings.
