By Dr. DAs I write this, it is the afternoon of July 4th, 2020, American Independence Day once again. I have seen many such celebrations come and go, and there is a definite change that has taken place over the years.
When I was very young, the US was embroiled in WW II, and Independence Day was observed with a sort of grim determination, reminding everyone that we were at war. It was a war that had to be won, we simply could not afford to loose that war. That war was won, and the Allies began the process of rebuilding themselves and the conquered nations of the Axis as well. Almost immediately they found themselves in the Cold War, the seemingly endless battle of wits with the Soviet Union and Red China. There was the idea that communism must be physically “contained.” This led to the Korean War, and later to the Vietnamese War.
Attitudes toward support for war were changing in the US throughout this period. During WW II, as far as I can tell, there was 100% support for the war effort. I am unable to find anyone who dissented, although people tell me that there were some. They must have been very few in number. By the time of the Korean War, Americans were war weary, and it was harder to generate support. Even so, they went, and there was very little objection or lack of support. I was personally familiar with a number of young men who were sacrificed to this war.
When the Vietnam War came around, there was much less support for the war. The way that American involvement was begun was considered by many to be illegitimate, with no clear entry point, but by having Americans simply serving as field advisors to the South Vietnamese Army who gradually got the US sucked into the battle. There was much question about why America should be involved, what US interests were in this area, and just why America should be expending lives there. Particularly on college campuses, the war was rather soundly rejected, and those who supported it were ostracized for their support. It was not seen as a matter of patriotism to support the Vietnamese War, but as simply war mongering. Of course, many of those doing the ostracizing were not very clear on the concept of patriotism either.
The military draft was ended and an all volunteer military was created which was supposed to solve many problems. Perhaps it did solve some, but it meant that the military now tended to come primarily from the segments of society that were otherwise unable to get ahead in life. They did put in place some educational requirements, but they have tended to look the other way on those requirements at times when recruitments have been difficult to achieve. This has led to a surge in number of minorities and women in the military, neither of them being good for the long term effectiveness of the military. This has been the US military that operated in Desert Storm in Kuwait in the early 1990s and again now in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Throughout this whole period, American education has been under a process of transformation, beginning in the 1960s. Prior to that time, American education had been heavily fact based, focusing the attainment of necessary skills and reasoning ability, with rather tight discipline in the school classrooms. This is not to imply that students were beaten or abused, but there was no foolishness in class; school was about learning, not acting out fantasies. There was little if any concern for “social promotion.” One great advantage, however, was that there were no special needs children in the classroom; they were provided for in separate facilities.
Beginning in the 1960s and continuing today, there was a move to integrate all children into the classroom, including the most disabled and disruptive right along with the well behaved and advanced students. This was thought to be “fair,” in the sense that it taught each of the students to get along with all of the others, both brighter and not so bright as themselves. The fact that it played havoc with the learning process was just passed over lightly. There were many other innovations in the way mathematics would be taught, Marxism would be worked into the curriculum through social studies and several other places, the study of traditional English literature would be gradually discarded in favor of contemporary authors with a Marxist flavor, etc.
One particularly critical area is that of history that would be gradually re–written to completely re–invent the history of our nation. Instead of the glorious true history of a modern nation carved from the wilderness which I was taught, today’s young people are taught that the nation was well developed already by peaceful, nature–loving native peoples who were slaughtered like animals at a packing house. With regard to the native American Indians, the truth is that many were killed fighting the white man just as they had traditionally fought among themselves. They were nomadic peoples, with the exception of the pueblo Indians, and they did little or nothing to develop North America. This is why, even as late as the early 20th century, there was new land to be broken, arable land that had never been plowed. The America built by white people has provided unparalleled opportunity for all of the people of North America, including the native American Indians and the American Blacks. What is taught, however, is that America is a land of oppression for these peoples, a place where they continue to suffer. This is true, to some extent, because they have been given the opportunity and encouraged by some to develop a mentality of entitlement, rather than seize the opportunity to work and achieve. Those who have worked have done well, but those who have felt entitled do suffer because there are never enough government handouts to satisfy them.
So our history has been corrupted in the mind of our young people, and many of our young people even disavow their own history. Too many of them do not even begin to know it. One of the popular late night comics, Jay Leno, has demonstrated this in a devastating way with some public interviews shown in this video: http://tinyurl.com/28e3cto
As Leno’s video shows, the minorities do not know American history, with the exception of the older black man. But even the white people do not know it either. These people with no sense of the history of this country certainly cannot claim any real sense of ownership of the country. It seems likely that this is why they have no objection to the vast hoards of illegal aliens streaming across the southern boarder. For these people, those aliens are not taking anything that belongs to them. These people do not see that they have a stake in America. America has never really belonged to these people at all.
Being much older, I do not see it in that way. I know where my family started out in the western Carolinas in the late 1700s, worked their way across Tennessee and Alabama in the early 1800s, and eventually wound up in south Texas by the time the Civil War ended. I know that my great–grandfather was a Superintendent on the King Ranch in south Texas and I know where my grandfather farmed and worked for the railroad. I have tried to pass this sense of ownership on to my children, the idea that we are Americans because our people came to this land and helped to build it into what it is today. Our blood is in this soil, and our bones will be in it some day soon. This is our land; it belongs to no one else.
The evidence seems to be that we are losing this land simply because we have not passed on the idea that it is ours. We have not taught the true history of America, but have allowed a pack of lies to be taught instead. We have not instilled a sense of ownership in our people, an understanding that it is up to each and every one of us to maintain this country. Our people think of the country as belonging to “them” and that everything is controlled by “them.” They fail to realize that “them” is actually “us,” that we the people are the ones who control this country. So they have no sense of ownership, so sense of wanting to protect what is their own. This country belongs to “them.” If we cannot turn this around, we have lost the battle.

An excellent and thoughtful posting. I really fear for America's future
An excellent and thoughtful posting. I really fear for America's future
And here I am thinking that this was only happening in South Africa! There is some power in the world busy wiping out the white culture. It is so far advanced that I even feel as if I'm doing something wrong by just saying that. But it is the truth. They (whoever "they" may be) are slowly destroying the bearers of civilization...
"They (whoever "they" may be) are slowly destroying the bearers of civilization.."
hmm hmm who would that be?i give you a hint.They have been expelled from over 100 countries and kingdoms and it was never their fault.so THEY say at least.
"When I was very young, the US was embroiled in WW II, and Independence Day was observed with a sort of grim determination, reminding everyone that we were at war. It was a war that had to be won, we simply could not afford to loose that war."
- It is precisely that single minded gulliblity that makes the appellation of "The Greatest Generation" such a sick joke. Indeed, the first World War was supposed to have been the one that would "end all wars" and the US was suckered into that one through the trick of sinking an ocean liner named Lusitania carrying 600 tons of guncotton. This is a matter of record, and the former captain of the Lusitania resigned from this duty on March 8, 1915 since he was "no longer willing to accept the responsiblity of mixing passengers with munitions or contraband" add to this the fact that on order from Churchill, the Lusitania had been outfitted in May of 1913 with revolving gun rigs, shell racks and handling elevators and it is no surprise that she was considered an armed auxiliary cruiser. Thus, since a policy had been set by Churchill's goverment to no longer allow British merchant ships to submit to being halted and searched by U-boat commanders and thereby the U-boat commanders had no choice but to sink such a ship, loaded to the gills with armament as well as AMERICAN passengers, thereby starting WW1.
FDR's need to give the US economy needed stimulus as well as the fact that Britain was again losing a war with the Germans (another World War that was unnecessary, other than to the central banks which did not want an economically independant Germany) that America was dragged into. From the end of that war onward, we somehow became "police for the world", and it is hardly surprising that the 1960's generation of young Americans did not want to lose their lives "to save the Vietnamese from Communism" (whatever that was supposed to mean). The rest of your article was accurate enough, but had "the Greatest Generation" (of dupes!) been more of a mind toward the Isolationist policy that George Washington envisioned for his country, we could have avoided a great many unnecessary deaths of our countrymen and perhaps the loss of its essential nature through the inattentiveness to political treason such as effected by that disgusting drunkard named Ed Kennedy when he helped to get the new "immigration reform bill" passed through Congress in 1965.

Whatever your views on the rights and wrongs of the last two world wars, that does not change the honour, bravery and basic decency of the men who fought them.
You call them dupes, but that is just another way of saying that they believed in what they were fighting for.
Whatever is or is not true, I don't this we can question the fact that those men, and the society they were fighting for were better than what we face today.
"You call them dupes, but that is just another way of saying that they believed in what they were fighting for."
- Well, if such is the case, then the American men and women who are presently fighting in Iraq for "freedom" (according to George W. Bush- yes, I know, try not to lose your lunch at the thought of such a disgusting misapplication of an errand of power mongering and murder for the sake of securing the oil of those areas for the Bush's enrichment and for the dubious cause of "making the middle east safe for Israel") must evidently "believe in what they are fighting for"? Or those who fought in Vietnam- did they believe in what they were fighting for- a country that posed no threat to the US, but evidently thought that communism would be better for them and their situation? Or were they, unbeknownst to themselves, fighting for Michelin rubber tree plantations and the free flow of narcotics to the US via Air America (a CIA sponsored operation of that era)? Does "believing in what you are fighting for", even if based in ignorance of underlying evil, make it a "good thing"?
"Whatever is or is not true, I don't this we can question the fact that those men, and the society they were fighting for were better than what we face today."
- Perhaps YOU cannot do so, but I and others (especially the younger generation of Whites who are fast losing ground to invaders because of the complacency and, yes outright politcal stupidity of their grandfathers) CAN and do question that "those men and that society" were better than what we face today. This is because those men of that era were the enablers to power of ever more corrupt members of "that" society-simply through their lack of political interest and participation. Each generation is the steward of their culture for succeeding generations-and they failed miserably in their duty to ensure that the corrupt would not come to power. Wars fought for the enrichment of Central Bankers is hardly an ennobling cause, and warriors, though they may be "brave" and think themselves "honorable" may find their "decency" called to question by later generations of Whites who, seeing the results of ever increasing "world government", wonder what is exactly the difference between phosphor bombing present day Lebanon and phosphor bombing their racial cousins of Dresden into oblivion in the past? And did the horrible deeds done to those people in the past set the stage for the usurpation of Western Civilization today?
I'm not the same anon as the one above ,i will reply anyway.
"Whatever is or is not true, I don't this we can question the fact that those men, and the society they were fighting for were better than what we face today."
While that may be true,i think by now we should all realize that what we face today is a product of the outcome of WW2.And no ,i don't mean such nonsense as"Whites fought a horrible war ,Whites lost all confidence in themselves" as the Neocons (read jews) keep repeating.Wars do not destroy a people's survival instinct. War,especially when lost causes even more nationalism.Propagada however does destroy as we all know.
As to "basic decency".It was not only the Russians who were raping German women en mass.And French officers unleashed north African and Subsaharan conscripts on Italy's womenfolk.
May i ask you something?If you would be living in those times and you would know that a victory of Western -Soviet alliance would result in mass migration from uncivilised 3rd worlders into white countries,would you not fight the Allies with everything you have?Does it matter what they THOUGHT they stand for?No!The only thing that matters is whose agenda they were serving,and because of that they deserve nothing!No honor,no respect.They are the "heroes" who helped to destroy our world,the ones who were fooled into paving the way for the destruction of their grandchildren.And if we are unlucky they will be the ones who caused the destruction of an entire race.The best race this planet has ever seen.Their own race.
He whose name may not be mentioned knew it ,and his soldiers too.I can say it a million times ,read Mein Kampf.You will be surprised how many of todays problems he recognized so long ago.
There are question marks over every war, but this is a very good piece. Patriotism starts at home: passing on your values and traditions to your children. Let them grow up with The Bible, Shakespeare and Churchill's "History of the English-Speaking Peoples".

Such a courageous critique as you then follow with, including your name, Anonymous. Tell me, would it have been a better choice for the Allies to loose the war? Is that what you are saying? Would you prefer to be speaking German these days? to be a part of the 1000 year Reich?
Yes, the US might have stayed out of the European war and watched Europe fall to the Nazis, but then we might well have become caught up in the Pacific war short thereafter anyway. You may look back and say, "that could have been avoided; there were warnings, etc." but you do all of this with 20-20 hindsight. Monday morning quarterbacking is relatively easy, and many people enjoy doing it. It is not the same thing as playing the real game, so do not deceive yourselves (or us). You were not there; you did not live through this.
The anonymous whiners speak so bitterly of the mistakes made by their fathers and grandfathers. This is the height of ingratitude. Those men fought, and many of them died, to get us to where we are today. Some of them were misled, just as many people today are misled, and will continue to be. Leaders are often not what they appear to be, and sometimes they change along the way. Rather than curse your fathers and grandfathers as ungrateful children, what are you going to do now that it is your turn to defend? Are you standing up to lead? Or are you hiding as Anonymous?
"The only thing that matters is whose agenda they were serving,and because of that they deserve nothing!No honor,no respect.They are the "heroes" who helped to destroy our world,the ones who were fooled into paving the way for the destruction of their grandchildren.And if we are unlucky they will be the ones who caused the destruction of an entire race.The best race this planet has ever seen.Their own race.
- Anonymous #2: I don't know whether you realize it or not, but you are making the same point that I was making in my previous two posts (I am the first "anonymous" poster).
Anon, i wrote my comment before yours was published by Sarah.Don't worry i have my own thoughts.
Dr.D ,please.I'm well beyond the "Germans want to rule the world" story.How about something thoughtful ,something that is not the same old propaganda.
If it were so ,how come that the majority of Waffen SS divisions were foreign volunteers?The Germans must have been very popular oppressors.Not to mention the other countless paramilitary groups who joined them.Nazi-Germany was the last white country to stand up for its white people.Your grandfathers/fathers made sure that never again a white country will try the same.Yes there is one that tried to defend its people.The Serbs.And look what happened to them.The hammer of New World Order crushed them before anyone even took note.
"Those men fought, and many of them died, to get us to where we are today."
Oh my friend you don't know how right you are.And look where we are today.One step away from racial suicide.Dr.D enjoy the time with your minorities.That is what YOUR grandfathers fought for.

Seems more than a little hypocritical to critisize a poster for preferring to hide his identity with "Anonymous" while you "Dr. D" hide behind a nom-de-plume yourself.
