Good Morning Kids. This past weekend marked both the 85th anniversary of the start of the Second World War and the 79th anniversary of its official conclusion, with the signing of the surrender of Japan aboard the U.S.S. Missouri.
As General Douglas Macarthur stated:
It is my earnest hope and indeed the hope of all mankind that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past - a world founded upon faith and understanding - a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish - for freedom, tolerance and justice. . . It is my earnest hope and indeed the hope of all mankind that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past - a world founded upon faith and understanding - a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish - for freedom, tolerance and justice.
While one can certainly make the case that the blood and carnage of the past are indeed the human condition. Over the course of human history, in spite of that, there have always been people who have striven to make Macarthur's prayers and hope come true.
Yet here we are 80 years on and the nation that was founded as the exception to history to be that shining example of freedom tolerance and justice has rotted out from within by the forces of venality, tyranny and oppression who seek our souls and our destruction to satisfy their base desires for absolute control.
Obviously, today as we look to the rest of the world, and most especially to where the precepts of our founders, the Judeo-Christian tradition and Western civilization itself, were born, the land of Israel, it's all collapsing in on itself in an orgy of ancient bloodlust and hatred, as retrograde forces continue their never-ending quest to conquer the world, and/or destroy it if they cannot have it. The twin monsters of slam and Leftism.
I'll have to keep it brief today, as I have a very early doctors appointment.
Have a good day, keep the faith, and don't let the bastards get you down.
Hasta mañana.
