“To oppose the policies of a government does not mean you are against the country or the people that the government supposedly represents,” writes Michael Parenti in the preface to Kurt Nimmo’s book, Another Day in the Empire. “Such opposition should be called what it really is: democracy, or democratic dissent, or having a critical perspective about what your leaders are doing. Either we have the right to democratic dissent and criticism of these policies or we all lie down and let the leader, the Fuhrer, do what is best, while we follow uncritically, and obey whatever he commands. That's just what the Germans did with Hitler, and look where it got them.

Foreword

  We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

-- Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

 

America, awake and rescue yourself from the unprincipled cabal that has seized power and is now doing everything possible to destroy our way of life!  Our task is all the more difficult because most Americans aren't aware that our country is in a struggle for its very existence.  And many people in our nation aren't aware of the American tradition of democracy.

            So we find ourselves in a situation where our country's fundamental principles are being decimated before our very eyes, but most Americans are too blind to see the devastation.  Instead of a battle for our nation's existence, most people see the present times as nothing more than business as usual. And the principles of democracy and justice and equality on which our nation was founded seem prosaic and insignificant to Americans busy with just getting along.

For over two hundred years, Western nations have been living on the heritage of the eighteenth century Enlightenment. Our American Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights were created by this revolutionary social and political movement, which attacked unjust laws and repressive customs.

These founding documents of our country only provided a framework for such principles as representative democracy, justice, and equality. But from the beginning America has been a plutocracy, rule of the wealthy. Any freedoms Americans enjoy today have had to be fought for and wrested from the moneyed rulers who have tried to make this country a dictatorship.

The hard-won freedoms Americans enjoy must not be taken for granted because they are perpetually under attack, as are the Enlightenment principles that gave them birth. Today in the United States, an affluent group has seized the reins of power and is systematically attacking American democracy and the Bill of Rights, stealing billions of dollars from hard-working Americans, deliberately destroying our way of life and the environment.

To rescue America from its would-be destroyers, we must institute a program of social and spiritual renaissance, a New Enlightenment, because our social, psychological, and spiritual predicament is not one of total collapse but of numbness and delusion. In short, we need awakening, awareness, enlightenment.
