American Valor – Military Tribute

As Joseph Campbell put it in his last book The Inner reaches of Outer Space: Metaphor as Myth and as Religion  the three primal instincts of humans are:

To feed

To Procreate

To Dominate

Peace has never been what people are about. Human history is a collection of stories about slavery and warfare. It is surprising how much slavery continues today. Decisions by a few control the behavior of the masses. That is the way it has always been and the way it is likely to be far into the future.

This article should scare all of us.  It is so true that it is normally not a whole group that gets to us.  It is not normally a majority that decides or controls anything (i.e., our Great Silent Majority).  It is the squeaky wheel that get greased.   It is the raving fanatic that gains control and gets their way with all of us most of the time.  Devour this translation as if your very life depends on it…it just may.

A German’s View on Islam

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. "Very few people were true Nazis," he said, "but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care.

I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories."

We are told again and again by "experts" and "talking heads" that Islam is a religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the "silent majority," is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And, who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were "peace loving"?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don’t speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just ignores this warning, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and share this with your friends and family! Let us hope that thousands, worldwide, read this and think about it, and share it – before it’s too late.

It is my prayer that the people of this country will wake up and quit being silent about the obvious threat to civilizations freedom.
