“To Destroy a People You Must First Sever Their Roots.”

Who said that and why? Alexander Solzhenitsyn a well-known and respected Russian dissident, who served time in the Gulag, wrote this to warn people everywhere of the dangers of powerful people in leadership positions. It is a strong and sobering warning that all free men should think about. What do we mean by that?
Well let’s examine just one statement made in 1997 by then President Clinton . "We are redefining in practical terms the immutable ideals that have guided us from the beginning."
So, were not these the immutable ideals those that this nation was founded on ? Rhetorically, why do "they" when he says "we" seem to think they need to be changed ? Have they not served us and the world as the model to have since our revolution and one people long to live in?
Well I do think it behooves us to examine just where we are as a nation now since they are saying and doing exactly what they said they will do. Based on the signs and symbols of this day I do not feel it is wrong to question just what they, whoever they are or we are doing?
Does anyone remember a guy named Hitler? I thought he warned the world many years before the second World War, he was going to war, didn't he? Yes, and that came to pass. Where we are heading and what that means to us who have now inherited these new ideals that "they and we" are implementing ?
Now evidently that lesson is being taught in schools throughout this land. We have torn down our hero’s and we have challenged our history. We have broken the backbone of the nation, families and disregarded our laws. The character of our leadership is beyond doubt questionable and the new ideology of The New World Order has risen to the fore.
It is an order for the wealthy and not people or an order for all men? But then again it is being established on the backside and blood of people which all empire builders used since the dawn of mankind. The principal of the many serving the few. That is not to say the religious radicals have their own brand of ideologywhich is far worse when compared to economic suffereing. In my opinion the fools just play into the system quite well.
A while back I spoke about the Hall of Presidents at Disney World and the changing of the ending for that historical presentaion concerning the beginning of our nation and it‘s significance. I venture to say few remember that original ending and certainly not our young who have been in my opinion tainted by a “Selective Education" and can only see the changed version. Mr. Clinton happened to be involved in the change there as well, since he was the last president in office at the time of the change he got to say what he wanted. I suspect, since I have not been there since President Bush has a similar "world" statement. Yes, Mr. Clinton was signifcant in many aspects and along with NAFTA and other area’s he encouraged, as our president lauded him for just the other day, kept the ball rolling toward “The Thousand Points of Light". No wonder he and the senior Bush get along so well.
The battle for America is now being waged. Many do not even recognize it but it is a battle that has been raging for a long time now. It is the battle of the wealthy and powerful over the average and poor. It is a battle over fair, just and equitible wages, jobs and freedom verses cheap and foreign labor. Think not then in my opinion you are just one of the many they perceive as dupes, gullible and outright stupid.
Why is what I am saying correct or even plausible? Well just look all around you. Take anything and really examine it. How about families for a starter? The bulwark of what was once this nations foundation. American families are under attack in every aspect. Divorce, drugs, crime, low wages, latch key children, dropouts, teen pregnancy, free sex, etc and a braking down of the family values which was the foundation of American strength. Middle America is a fictional group in the minds of its creators.
Economics, we don’t even have to go there. Enough has been said and many are in the world of hurt.
How about law? Well we have open and blatant disrespect for the law and that is a fact. One could name a hundred things to base it on. If we turn to leadership we understand by their deeds they evidently are not OUR leadership. They prefer foreign nations over our own. In my opinion they lead for a select few. Certainly one could name item after item from Katrina, to the war, to the mines and to the bridges where leadership does not exist, or does it?
As average Americans today we are undergoing what Mr. Clinton has stated. It has nothing to do with parties it has everything to do with ideology. To think otherwise in my opinion makes you, point blank, ignorant. Hitler signed a peace treaty right before he invaded Poland. The leaders all smiled and they said "Peace in our time" and then came the war. Stalin signed one with Hitler as well and once again Hitler invaded Russia. He said it, he did it. Yet these people say it and we sit there and say, huh?
Now don't get me wrong they are 100% committed to this ideology. They think it is good and so did Hilter. It certainly is good for the wealthy and that 20% who own the 80%. The rest of us, well we are just assets and expesnes on a ledger sheet to be used as necessary or discarded. Think of yourself as that NFL athelte who has passed prime and find s out he plays for an At Will employer.
Now in my opinion and that of many in order to totally eliminate all aspects of the old there has to be a complete breakdown of our system as it is now . If one really understands the dynamics of the world economy this system needs to be changed and that process is well under way. In order to do that it needs to fail! It will not fail on its own and be accepted. No, people will demand it be changed and get this, welcome the new system. When you ask why you will then start to understand why it must fail. It is all about money, power and wealth.
So as in the days of old to destroy any nation and people and subjugate them you must destroy their very society, being and way of life. That is why when invaded the victors dispersed the people, broke down the institutions and the traditions which held that nation together and instilled their way of government and law and took those who oppose away and implemented fear. The new young never knew what they had they just knew what they got.
Illegal workers, drugs, attack on the family structure, economic warfare, outsourcing and the dismantling of a nations industrial might, the inundation of that society by multiple and varied racial groups, beliefs and ideology. Yes, the very destruction of the core. Yes, keep them occupied and there minds elsewhere and they will barely notice the changes until it is too late. You see that old ending at Disney said "that no army on the face of this earth could ever defeat us militarily. However, if this nation were to fall it would be from within if Americans allowed it." Our Founding Fathers of this nations Constituion new this well and that is why the Consititution was written as it was.
So what they talked about was not a military defeat but a "conversion"'. Breakdown the established and install the new and the result equals change.
Yes, in my opinion what Mr. Clinton said in 1997 is and has happened already. Behind the smile and the ‘I have not had sex with that woman“ lies the deceit that many of you accept and even admire. Yes, when one admires deceit they are in my opinion of the same ilk and yes, in my opinion darkness has descended over the land. It is at the very foundations of our society, in government, in religion, in the moral fiber and character of our nation.
Certainly if you are pleased I believe you will be one of them that help usher in the New World Order. In fact my own opinion is it will be. The why many of you just will never know or understand. Yet, like that Russian writer, who wrote to his counter parts about the truth but was imprisoned, the truth here as well is that many Americans could care less. To use an analogy, they are as happy as a pig in a pig pen, wallowing in the dirt. A little direct but none the less the facts.
Yes, “money always trumps peace" and money has no allegiance but in making more mo ney. Which is the America you want for your children? That is why now is the time to speak out, to vote with your wallet and to let them know what you demand and expect from them. Sit still and be silent and reap what you will.
Yes, I am sure the Romans and every great power never throught they would see their destruction. Yet, it happened. Just like Troy their pride and arrogance led to their downfall. Rhetorically one might end by asking has the Trojan Horse already entered our gates?
Perhaps this powem sums it up? It is called
You Like To
You like to speak like a Christian and say you hold those values true.
But when it comes to money, your true values shine right through.
Of course you will deny it, and say it isn't so.
But your voting record shows it, we know the way you go.
You make it hard for guys like me, To raise a family.
The signs and symbols tell it all, it is there for all to see.
It's big business you support, not the working guy.
You get your compensation and could care less when we ask why.
So cut the bull and get to it and stop with your charade.
Our God above already knows it, call a spade a spade.
So when you draw your final breath, remember this poem.
You know you'll get Gods mercy, but you'll be far from His home.
Because there is a price to pay for what you did in power.
And you better think about this now, for man knows not the hour.

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)I don't mean any disrespect Mr. Melaccio, but it seems every-time someone gets into a crisis they all take the easy way out with the famous old saying "according to the Bible" During a crisis you deal with the issue and leave the praying for after the vital work is done. In a song from Johnny Cash titled "stampede" "A few of the lyrics" There wasn't time for praying there was hardly time to cuss, it was the smoke, roar and rattle and the leaders were on us. The root of the problem has been resolved, nothing has to change only the people, and the people have changedPlease log in to respond to this comment.Well David I never get upset with your feedback and it is always appreciated. But I am sure you realize that people see God's work in many things and refer to the bible to support their way of thinking. Now everyone has their own beliefs and choice to make. People can accept or you can discard, their choice. However, because someone uses quotations or reflects or alludes to concepts or quotes from within the Bible does not make the information any less important, factual or right. The bottom line is it always get back to people and choice in every single thing. My apologies if you are offened by my comments to God.I suspect you just thought they weren't necessary. The poem reflects in my thinking there is a greater power to answer to that we call God who they profess to believe in. It is addressed to them to think about.

Hi Robert.
I resonate completely with your frustration. I agree with your statement; " there has to be a complete breakdown of our system as it is now" except that I would substitute the word "ourselves" with "system."
Systems, governments, religions, actually institutions of all kinds are a result of what we are individually. We point our fingers at what is wrong, but seldom turn the finger around at ourselves. Big egos! And what we are individually is constructed of thought, and thought is always dead.
Thought is not fast enough to keep up with truth, and whenever we get stuck in a concept, truth becomes a lie. Throughout history, the finest systems have fallen. Wars continue, and people continue to klill each other. I write about a revolution internally. This, I believe is the only hope. But no one wants to change themselves fundamentally; this is the problem. We stay stuck on our ideals and beliefs, and none of these have worked in the past. We "believe" that they are working, but they are not; they only separate mankind further.
Meditation is viewed as new age BS. I understand that. And few are even willing to try it, especially the ones who believe that they have all the answers. These are the dangerous ones, the ones that create new organizations that quickly subjugate their followers into what they believe is right for them. Freedom is the only answer that I can see, total freedom from all of those who wish to control, and freedom from ourselves.
Good article, Robert. Looking forward to reading more......................ePlease log in to respond to this comment.Yes, excellent feedback and it is appreciated. I suspect if you have read my other articles you will see I am of the same thinking. Everything starts with ourselves, "The face in the mirror". Each day it is a series of choices and actions, cause and effect. If we are who we say we are and what we are then how do we deliver that we say we are? That reflects in our thoughts, words and deeds but above all our deeds. We can influence the masses yet fall short on delivering. My personal opinion being that as you put it, a revolution within requires respect and love, not physical but love of our fellow human beings and a recognition of what is good for all and ourselves. No change is not the enemy what the change is is the concern. Is it for good or not? That is the conversion from within ansd subsequnetly changes you and hopefully society. Many attempt it most fail. That is why the gate is narrow and few enter. To change separates you from the masses. A very big step yet one we can all make but few want to.
