The Awakening

By LTG Tom McInerney USAF (Ret) and MG Paul E Vallely, US Army (Ret)

Awakening is the act of beginning to understand something —usually something significant —that leads to a new and better understanding of events. In 1776, Americans awoke to the fact that to stay free and prosper, they must separate their fortunes from England. That is why we must identify and solve any problems or issues by seeking solutions through cognitive thinking and a thought process that views reality through a reality prism, not through partisan politics.

In the 21^st Century, America slept as Marxism (disguised as Progressive Socialism), Globalism, the rise of unaccountable ruling elites, and an ascendant Communist China were dismantling our great country not by direct warfare, but from within. It was like a beautiful building being destroyed from within by termites’ destructive waves. There was no Pearl Harbor, no major issue that divided us like the Civil War, and no major foreign war or power that openly threatened us militarily. China’s 3 Warfares Doctrine underpins the CCP’s plan to instead conquer the free world without firing a shot. Trump understands this.]

From the time our Constitution was framed, Americans argued intensely, but honestly. It was one of our strengths. Quite often, widely differing groups would come to better solutions than were initially advocated. Coming together through honest discussion was the American way.

[Honest debate is today being replaced by demonization and hate-filled words. Radical left professors are requiring students to turn in recordings (for grades!) of them silencing opponents by accusing them of racism (or worse). Federal Agencies under Biden are now targeting soccer moms who protested Critical Race Theory and their opposition to boys in girls’ bathrooms at school board meetings as terrorists.

Discrimination, once illegal, is now advocated if it is discrimination against Whites. White young men became a target of the left. A parent who complained at a school board meeting about his daughter being raped by a sexual deviant in the girls’ restroom was arrested. The student was transferred to another school, where he became a repeat offender.

Such cases signal a shift from “equal justice” to “social justice.” They move America from exceptionalism to brutal tribalism. From being a proud First World Country, to being a squalid banana Republic.

The Communist Manifesto outlines the beliefs of the Communists and the program of the Communist League, a workers’ party. The Communists were concerned about social and political inequality—conditions that still exist today—and, through the manifesto, shared their concerns and proposed solutions. This is the focus of the Democrats now in power.

Outcomes are now set by race, gender, or political whim. This polarizing policy has divided America and resulted in violent criminals being released and police departments being defunded, driving a spike in murder rates, and ignoring groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter burning cities and looting businesses. Anarcho-tyranny must replace America’s traditional equal opportunity and equal justice under the law.

America’s original focus on faith and logic was tied to our greatness, as the foundation of a rational God became core for a linear society, seeking fairness and prosperity. But now liberals embrace every variety of contradiction, neuro-sickness, and hypocrisy.

The rise of the West was based on four primary victories of reason. The first was the development of faith in progress within Christian theology. The second victory was the way that faith in progress translated into technical and organizational innovations, many of them fostered by monastic estates. The third was that, thanks to Christian theology, reason informed both political philosophy and practice to the extent that responsive states, sustaining a substantial degree of personal freedom, appeared in medieval Europe. The final victory involved the application of reason to commerce, resulting in the development of capitalism within the safe havens provided by responsive states. These were the victories by which the West won.

Policies are now far removed from American’s traditional “equality under the law,” and “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.” America was always multiethnic, but of a common culture – our own unique culture. The motto E Pluribus Unum, “Out of Many, One,” the literal Latin proposed by the First Continental Congress in 1782, summed it up perfectly.

Let us all join hands and Make America safe again, prosperous again and proud again!
