I’ve been told repeatedly that my writing is too bleak. Corruption, sinister networks, greed, treason, murder, et cetera. I would say in reply that my world outlook is far more positive than inevitably comes across with the topics I cover. For it comes from a place rooted in a traditional respect for natural law.
Quite simply, I believe things belong in their proper order. When they are not, mankind cannot possibly thrive. It is no secret that America is profoundly disordered today. Pretending this is not so will not make us happy.
Six-plus years of exhaustive investigative writing on globalism and the social and cultural agenda of what I call the progressive ruling elite have taught me that this disorder is intentional. It has been deliberately cultivated on a systematic scale to bring about the conditions for a well-off few to harness an increasingly desperate many to serve them and their narrow interests. That the entire process is presented under a guise of professed altruism makes it all the more galling.
This attempt to restore the bondage of ancient pharaohs carries two overarching identifying points: one, a consistent ethos that sees humans in a utilitarian light – as material units rather than unique souls created in the image of God – and two, a logic-bereft worship of a sketchily defined “progress” centered on a “humanism” that calls on modern man to overthrow what it dismisses as a restrictive and outdated natural law.
I firmly believe that this is the root of the sadness stalking America today. How can anyone retain their well-being and sanity in a world where they are told they must acquiesce to the “new truth” that the sky is green and the grass is blue? There is nothing more crushing than bending the knee to what one knows is a lie.
The utilitarian ethos is everywhere in the ultra-materialistic West today. Perhaps it is seen most clearly in a decades-long cycle of massive unchecked legal and illegal immigration that has resulted in increased poverty, exploitation, and death. Even the vile scourge of child labor is back with a vengeance. Nowhere is this evil more prevalent than on America’s big industrial farms.
Does anyone ever mull the philosophical underpinnings to such depraved indifference to human suffering? It has its origins in a devoutly materialist belief that man can correct the Hand of God.
Earl Butz was President Richard Nixon’s agriculture secretary in the 1970s. He is most famous for the dictum “get big or get out,” which led to the eradication of tens of thousands of small farms throughout the United States in the ’70s and ’80s.
Butz made a revealing quote 53 years ago while rejecting the notion that US farms could ever return to a natural and organic way of growing and harvesting food. From an April 1972 article in The New York Times:
“I think our basic problem with respect to all this is that two-thirds of us in this country are so young that we never had the experience of biting into a wormy apple, looking at the worm hole and wondering: ‘Is he in there or did I get him? Two-thirds of us are so young that we think that God and nature automatically made nice red, juicy, plump, healthy, tasty apples. As a matter of fact, He didn’t. Mother Nature put the worm in the apple and man took him out.”
That may not sound so sinister on the surface, but think about it some more. Butz isn’t describing working in harmony with nature. He is treating it as an adversary. An enemy that must be overcome. Man’s chemical pesticides defeated Mother Nature’s imperfect design.
This is the hubris driving our modern culture to the brink of ruin. Our Titanic is unsinkable, so we have been told.
It’s not hard to detect the bitter fruits (pun intended) of Butz’ War Against Nature mindset in America today. Nutritionally depleted food has spurred obesity and chronic autoimmune illness epidemics. A Big Pharma pill is sold to us as the insta-answer for every conceivable health problem. Euthanasia has gone mainstream, because even the moment of death must be controlled by man. Large-scale cultural campaigns have been conducted to warp traditional notions of gender and human sexuality. It goes on and on. Everywhere one turns, modern man is waging war on God’s natural law in the name of “progress.”
What citizens wholly reared in a post-Christian America fail to grasp is that an ideology promising that the created can overtake the Creator inevitably leads to tyranny and genocide. The godless horrors of the Soviet Union and Communist China over the majority of the 20th century, with their hundreds of millions of victims, should have taught us that.
Individual rights, which traditional Western thought always professed came from God and not man, are the first thing cast aside when the shiny-eyed progressive materialist begins crafting his new and improved Garden of Eden.
The mask came off to a startling degree during the brutal social curbs of the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the face of that ruling construct, directly told Americans that their individual rights did not matter anymore.
Sushma Raman, executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and a former staffer for progressive globalist billionaire George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, was even more blunt in a 2020 book she co-authored with Ivy League associate William F. Schulz titled The Coming Good Society: Why New Realities Demand New Rights.
“Against those who hold that rights are static and immutable, Schulz and Raman argue that rights must adapt to new realities or risk being consigned to irrelevance,” a Harvard University Press synopsis declared. “To preserve and promote the good society – one that protects its members’ dignity and fosters an environment in which people will want to live – we must at times rethink the meanings of familiar rights and consider the introduction of entirely new rights.”
Leading political figures in our nation right now adamantly swear by this secular progressive creed. “The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator – that’s what the Iranian government believes,” Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), the party’s 2016 vice presidential nominee, shockingly declared at a Senate hearing on Sept. 3. “So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.”
Any person who can define the inherent rights you have as a free human being can also take those rights away from you without so much as blinking.
I will attempt to live my life as best I can in accordance with the natural law designed by my Creator. In fact, it’s the only way to remain grounded in a deliberately disordered culture.
