On January 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. read the list of 45 Communist goals for America into the Congressional Record. The purpose of him reading this was to gain insight into liberal elite ideas and strategies for America. Much of what we see today of our decaying institutions, endorsed and promoted by the Left (and now Democrats), align with the naked Communist agenda to destroy America.
The Left ruins everything it touches (or infiltrates). From medicine to law to journalism to national security to education, our beloved national institutions have rotted from within.
MEDICINE
A recent study by the RAND corporation found that public trust in the CDC fell during the pandemic. Not surprising since the CDC has flip flopped on the efficacy of face masks, insisted vaccinated people continue wearing masks, produced ludicrous mask guidelines for children’s summer camps, allowed the teachers union to dictate school re-opening protocol and in-classroom procedures, erroneously predicted a Covid case surge in states that dropped mask mandates, dismissed promising early stage therapeutics, supported the ineffective and harmful lockdowns while simultaneously supporting the BLM protests, refuted leading doctors and scientists that signed the Barrington Agreement which opposed lockdowns and their corresponding harmful effects, funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Covid gain-of-function research while downplaying and ignoring those who suggested that the Wuhan lab was the origin of Covid-19, and are now open to the idea that Covid-19 leaked from the Wuhan lab after the Biden administration reportedly ended a Trump-era investigation by the State Department into the Covid lab-leak origin.
LAW
The FBI repeatedly falsified FISA warrants to spy on Americans and leaked confidential information to the compliant legacy press to launch the Mueller investigation. Despite months of left-wing extremists rioting, looting, vandalizing, and murdering, Director Wray announced that white supremacy still comprises the majority of domestic terrorism in the United States. BLM and blue-city mayors and politicians defunded the police resulting in a surge of crime mostly against the very inner-city minorities these mayors and police chiefs claimed to protect and defend. District Attorneys released criminals and eliminated cash bails which further exacerbated an already explosive situation. In the epicenters of BLM and Antifa lawlessness, Minneapolis and Portland, homicides have increased 108 percent and 800 percent, respectively. After San Francisco stopped arresting and prosecuting shoplifters, Walgreens closed 17 stores due to out-of-control theft. The current attorney general of New York campaigned and vowed to pursue a criminal investigation of Trump, likely in violation of the Constitution’s equal protection clauses. The Capitol police withheld the name of the person that shot Ashli Babbitt (unlike George Floyd video), have been holding trespassers, a misdemeanor violation, in solitary confinement (cruel and unusual punishment) for over four months, while Congress and Nancy Pelosi used the National Guard, costing nearly $1B, and deployed security barriers to protect themselves. Police are defunded by local Democrats while Congressional Democrats passed a $1.9 billion bill to increase Capitol security.
JOURNALISM
Over the past several years, corporate/legacy media got about every major story wrong: Russian collusion, Steele dossier, Mueller report, mostly peaceful riots, Chris Cuomo Covid management acumen, Charlottesville, Russian bounties for US soldiers, Ukraine quid pro quo and impeachment, Capitol “insurrection”, Nick Sandmann, Georgia secretary of state phone call, Wuhan Lab-Leak, Hunter Biden laptop, and even Jussie Smollett and Bubba Wallace.
Facebook announced that they will no longer ban Wuhan lab-leak posts in coordination with the revised government narrative, a chilling collaboration. A free and open society cannot exist without free and open intellectual inquiry. In the mid-1980s, Stewart Brand is attributed with the phrase, “information wants to be free” which was the motto of the Internet boom. Big Tech openly engages in partisan censorship of conservative views. No longer is the digital public square a forum for adjudicating competing versions of the truth. Corporate media has failed to live up to its traditional journalistic principles of objectivity, neutrality, and fairness.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The federal government has three primary responsibilities: national defense/security, individual liberties, and order/justice. National security requires that the federal government secures our borders, fights wars, and sign peace and trade agreements. In his final full month of office, Trump released 18 illegal immigrants into the US. Since Biden took office, he has released 61,312 illegal immigrants into the US. No borders, no country. Pompeo and Trump’s successful Abraham Accords fostered historic peace in the Middle East by isolating Iran allowing multiple Arab-Israeli agreements. Biden has traded peace through strength for violence from weakness. Biden re-engaged with Iran and gave Palestine $100 million. Shortly thereafter, Palestine commenced rocket attacks on Israeli civilian targets. Biden’s muted response that Israeli has a right to defend itself did not invoke confidence with a long-time US ally.
Our military should be focused on winning wars. Instead, Biden rescinded Trump’s order banning critical race theory training. The Navy’s recommending book reading list includes How to be an Anti-racist, Kendi’s book advocating critical race theory. The Navy’s second fleet created a book club for sailors to read White Fragility. West Point cadets were forced to attend race theory seminars where white cops were described as murderers. America’s largest defense contractor, Lockheed Martin, put senior executives through a multi-day, anti-white training. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced his intent to “purge” the military of white supremacists and right-wing radicals.
EDUCATION
For several decades, the cost of K-12 education spending has increased 280 percent the rate of inflation since 1960 while showing little improvement since 2000. Many jurisdictions have adopted the racists and warmed-over Marxism of Critical Race Theory. Indoctrination has replaced education.
Despite the CDC showing minimal risk to students and teachers, the two largest teachers’ unions, the American Federation of Teachers and National Education Association, both opposed the rapid re-opening of schools. Students have suffered tremendously in terms of deteriorating academic advancement and declining mental health. Pediatric emergency room visits for mental health increased by over 25 percent during the pandemic due to social isolation when schools did not re-open last fall.
America is standing on a precipice. It is going to take a coalition of conservatives to re-align, re-invigorate, and re-establish America’s core principles and institutions.
