BARBARIANS AT THE GATE: 9/11 & THE DEATH OF THE QUEEN / THE NEW BARBARIANS ARE TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN ON EVERY COLLEGE CAMPUS IN AMERICA
Vol. II | Issue. 116 | September 12, 2022
The term "Barbarians at the Gate” was used by the Romans when attacked by foreign enemy hordes at the gates of one of their walled cities or outposts. During the entire span of their empire, the Romans defined only themselves and those absorbed into their Empire as inhabitants of the Civilized World.
The Romans committed atrocities and injustices and destroyed anyone along their path to conquering the World. However, there is no denying that they built a society and civilization that left an indelibly lasting and valuable impression on the world to advance humankind. From all forms of Science to Art to Architecture, Philosophy, and Literature to many of the basic building blocks of Democracy and Civil Society. The fact is that there has been no Empire in history that has done more despite its depravity and well-documented brutality to advance civilization.
The Romans in their 1000-year reign, lasted from 625 BC until Rome was Sacked by the Visigoths on August 24, 410 AD. The Sack of Rome by the Barbaric Germanic tribe blew out the Roman Candle and ushered in the Dark Ages which lasted for roughly 900 hundred years.
From the Dark Ages through the Renaissance there was little advancement in any meaningful human endeavor. Science, Art, Literature, Philosophy, and Medicine took a 900-year snooze before waking up to the Renaissance in the mid-15th century uncovering the gargantuan advances made by the Rome Empire.
Yesterday was the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, where 2,977 innocent Americans were murdered by 19 Radical Islamic Barbarians (which U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington also included again her death toll and mourning message) who broke through the gates of American Civilization to destroy not only American lives but American Life. But, even before 21 years ago, the Barbarians were already inside the gates...
Barbarians are the ENEMIES OF CIVILIZATION, as well as advancement, and come in many forms. The Visigoths, who sacked ancient Rome, were the Barbarians from Hollywood’s Central Casting. You know the type: They are filthy, illiterate, ignorant, and wear furry vests with animal horned helmets.
Today, we face a far more dangerous Barbarian: They may appear in horned-rimmed glasses (instead of horns) and teach at an Ivy League University, work for an "NGO", CNN, The New York Times, Hollywood, or for that matter, a lofty or strategically critical post in the current Government Administration. This new brand of “Barbarian” is cheering on the Destruction of America and Western Civilization on a daily basis. Every day, they look to delegitimize our country and seek to dismantle our institutions based on their version of our real or imagined past sins and transgressions during our formative years up through the present day.
The operative theory of the “New” Barbarian class is that the civilized world has stolen everything from its indigenous inhabitants, hence there is no legitimacy to any modern nation. They make the same argument regarding virtually every Civilized, Westernized Nation in the World, i.e. that all national sovereignty is based upon the theft of land from the indigenous peoples which now form their national borders.
This, of course, includes America and American Society, which they believe must be sacked in the same manner as Rome due to the original sins of slavery and our treatment of the Indians.
The death of Queen Elizabeth II this weekend, after an unprecedented 70-year reign, brought forth one particularly hateful Barbarian in Carnegie Melon Professor Uju Anya who tweeted “May her pain be excruciating.”
Even England, by no means a perfect County, has much to be proud of in their Queen. She was a steady hand for 70 Years in an unsteady world to which she was a constant; providing quiet, dignified, civilized, and respectful leadership to her Nation and to the World. While it is true that the Queen’s role is technically ceremonial, in reality, she was the guiding light for 15 British Prime Ministers, providing them with far more than tea and Crumpets.
The “New Barbarians”, i.e. the Academics, "Left Wing Journalists”, and all the rest who have spoken ill of her, are the same Barbarians who are teaching our children to hate their Country and to believe that the pride of the Civilized World and those who built it before them perpetuate the centuries-old irredeemable crimes of their ancestors.
In the beginning, the U.S. and Great Britain, our Mother Country, had a rough go of it, but together we have created and forged the greatest example of unity between tolerant, participatory democracies in the history of the world. While the New Barbarians curse both the Queen after her death and America on the 21st anniversary of that murderous day, we should all salute and be forever grateful to America and Queen Elizabeth II for helping light up the world.
As for the New Barbarians?… All you need to do to find them is to go to Cambridge, Ann Arbor, or New Haven. They’re more dangerous than the Visigoths ever were and more determined to destroy Western Civilization and The American Way.
