AMERICA 2023 : AT WAR WITH ITSELF AND LOSING / OUR IDEA FACTORIES ARE BEING INSANITY BOMBED
Vol. II | Issue. 150 | March 6, 2023
How is a nation defeated in war? C’mon everyone, you know the answer to that. It's simple right?! We've all been to the movies… You know how the war movies go: You bomb the enemy, maybe send troops in, occupy their cities, then they put up the white flag of surrender, and that’s all folks, you won (or lost the war). What happens when you do win the war?
The old style was you take over the country, and its factories, and then occupy, and install your own states of government, etc. Well, that is the obvious kind of war, and on most levels easy to understand.
America is now at war with itself and many of our most informed and intelligent citizens don’t quite get it yet.
A foreign flag has been planted on American soil and aims to destroy the entire country. That invader? Call it what you will: Communism, Marxism, Wokeism, "Democratic Socialism", the label really doesn’t matter… They all derive from the same bastard parentage. They are the collectivist ideologies that have invaded America and like every other disease/parasite need a welcoming host in order to thrive and spread their poison. These hate/destroy philosophies found their delectable host organism roughly 60 years ago on the “Elite” American College Campus. Particularly the Ivy League and those institutions of similar quality and historic selectivity.
Now, let's get back to the war, shall we? One of the chief objectives of any war is to destroy the enemy’s means of production. What does that mean? Well, you bomb their factories, try to destroy their food supplies and other vital infrastructure that is necessary to maintain their civilian populations, and continue fighting. Factories you say? Yes, factories. Well then, we aren’t at war, nobody is bombing our factories, Right? You are correct, they aren’t literally bombing them, but they are destroying our factories of ideas, namely America’s colleges, and Universities, with insanity bombs.
Prior to the nascent Hate-America Academic Movement that began roughly in 1964 (see The American Way). America’s idea factories (i.e. our Colleges and Universities) produced a fundamentally different product than they do today. They were institutions dedicated to either directly or indirectly educating their students to be productive citizens and part of an America that was fundamentally a force for good in the World. Every College/University graduate was exposed to critical thinking methodologies that provided the intellectual bandwidth to think for themselves and, if necessary, stray from the righteous path of widely accepted thought.
In short, the mission of higher education was to teach students how to think, not what to think!
The newly emerging Hate-America Religious Left was not happy with that. So gradually, then almost completely, the American System of higher education became a system of gulags, force-feeding required thought and thought processes to their students, rewarding those who conformed and making it almost impossible to be a dissenting voice regarding the Hate-America propaganda that they were being force-fed.
Recently the destruction of the American Idea Factory has gone much further. It is widely acknowledged by America’s friends and foes alike that America created the finest University system in the world. Combined these institutions have produced more scientific research breakthroughs since the end of WWII than all of their peer institutions in the world. But our great idea factories are being destroyed, not by bombs, but from within.
They are radically shifting both their academic priorities and admissions processes in a clear direction in which our best and brightest will not be admitted, and if they are, their work in virtually every area of scientific research will be subjected to and examined through the perverted lense of the Religious Left’s “Woke” Academics. This process is already underway and the best example of this is the scientifically selectively forced collaboration of our most prestigious Academic and Scientific Research Agencies in suppressing specific inquiry and research into the COVID-19 Pandemic resulting in roughly 1.2 million American deaths and over 6 million worldwide.
The destruction of our idea factories is also evidenced by the fact that some of America’s most prestigious Universities no longer require ACT/SAT scores from their students. The elimination of these academic gatekeeping mechanisms was due to the fact that it has now been determined by the Religious Left that these tests are "racist" and harm the chances of "people of color" to do well on them. Much of the Religious Left has now pronounced other absurdities such as Math is racist, Grammar is racist, and Meritocracy is racist...
As horrible as all of this is, there is worse news. While budgets at our idea factories for basic and applied sciences, both in research and teaching, are on the decline, the amount spent on "woke" humanities curricula are being increased exponentially.
In order to win this war, America needs to know that we are in one, and believe me, we are.
Oh, and one more thing, if your hardworking brilliant son or daughter aspires to go to a top school, they may have to set their sights on the local junior college if the increasingly anti-meritocracy freakish college admission process remains in place.
