During WWII more than 60 million lives were extinguished including as many as 1.5 million children. This accounted for nearly 3% of the world population in the early 1940’s. It was a time of false narratives and propaganda. Millions were swept into a whirlwind of manufactured demons, and in some cases shut out even the most basic respect for human life. Rather than promoting peace through common ideals and cooperation, demagogue politicians instead exploited the irrational fears and prejudices of the time, fanning the smoldering coals of differences and division following the first “great war” into the flames of hatred and violence that would engulf the second. Laws were violated by the very people elected to enforce them, and the people’s legislators hid from the light of accountability in order to remain in the seat of power for as long as they could. And true history was ignored and/or revised to accommodate a new, albeit dangerous and ultimately lethal world direction.
Sound familiar?
Take a good look around my fellow Americans. When we begin to ignore the lessons of history and instead place our faith in the caustic politics of divide and conquer, there will always be a price. When the Hollywood elitists who worship exclusively at the altar of fame and fortune, lend their ignorant profanity laced tirades to politicians and political matters they neither fully comprehend nor understand, there will always be a price. And when we break the ties which bind us to faith, family and justice for all human kind, then that price shall always be to re-live the mistakes of our past. Oh, and the innocent will die with the rest…
