Great speech, but it incorrectly identifies the enemy.

The enemy is not the cultural elite. That is a fuzzy term.

To fight and win, we must CLEARLY identify the enemy and clearly identify the strategy to be used to defeat it.

Academia, the media, entertainment are not the enemy per se, but they are the footsoldiers of the enemy. Also among the footsoldiers are the cultural liberals who scream for abortion, gay cultural dominance, and fluid morality and reality that is what they say it is.

But then, if these are the footsoldiers, who is the enemy? Who is it that calls the tune for these footsoldiers?

I suggest that enemy remains hidden, unnamed...and, as yet, unnameable.

To understand who the enemy is we have to ask, who is it that indoctrinated the professors at our colleges and universities? That was the starting point.

These professors, over many years extending into the last century, indoctrinated and, indeed, brainwashed the students marching out of their colleges and universities. These students carried their new ideology into the media and entertainment. And into the practice of the law.

When we can identify who is at the root of this problem, we can name the enemy.

Dec. 31, 1979 -- the final day of a sclerotic decade.

Nobody knows how to count these days...

"It's not 1980 anymore. We've got to wake up to the problems of today,"

No and it is not 1600 America either with pioneers building their one room homes with trees they cut themselves; food they grew or hunted themselves, clothes they made themselves; no electricity, running water or lavish indoor plumbing.

Those early Americans had something called strength of character; they had integrity; there was a decency and fairness about them, a handshake was their bond.

Honesty and decency are rare today; our justice system is broken so badly the two tier system of law and order has been wrecked by something called Social Justice...which is no justice at all and worse yet, there is little or no consequence for crimes committed by our elected who use their offices to enrich themselves.

Senator Hawley understands this new age as does President Trump...the radical left want power and wealth so badly, some of them just tried to overthrow a successful President and his administration...unthinkable for Americans who abide by The united States Constitution and the laws of the land.

A few guys from the Frankfurt School but it’s been labeled a conspiracy theory by the left.

The ones that came to Columbia Univ, USA sewed the seeds.

THX MUCH to both of you.

Yes. It is communism. And it reaches through the Frankfort School and Columbia U. was certainly one of its first and major U.S. centers of operation.

But (I suggest), its success implies a solid but as yet unseen command and control structure.

The wholesale indoctrination of almost every college and university in America is not the result of some rag-tag effort by scattered collectivists who think alike. It appears to be the result of something carefully planned and implemented...something that would require organization and centralized leadership/command.

I am thinking out loud here but my gut tells me that there is something more at work that just folks around the world who have old dogeared COMINTERN cards in their wallets and "Workers of the World Unite" posters on their basement walls.

If we are to root out these termites, we have to find their nest...their queen.

Which begs the question of how Soros is still alive after giving dozens of nations more than ample reason to terminate him.

Cut the head of the snake off and the rest dies, we need to find out who is funding inside and out and do just that. Now we can work toward rebuilding the fabric that has been torn

I can't imagine why Soros hasn't been eliminated. Unless, that is, he is not the one actually pulling the strings.

It has always been rumored that Soros joined the Commies when he was young and they gave him a leg up in his accumulation of wealth.

I think the bigger problem is that he sees Big Tech as wrong only for their unequal commercialism. It is the surveillance and control, the censorship, the role of our intelligence community behind it all that is most important.

Otherwise, pretty good.

He is right about the Uberization of the economy for the masses.

A big miss that Trump doesn’t get is his pushing of any weapons sales by the US worldwide as good for our economy. That is only fueling our overlords and necessitating that they find wars to expend them on.

That is a big problem.

Another problem of significance is that Big Tech is filled to the brim with college students who have been thoroughly brainwashed in commie-think.

There have been rumblings in the investment community that even those in senior management and their venture capital overlords feel a certain lack of control over those in the middle and at the bottom. The fear is that the little commie robots of Big Tech are taking it upon themselves to spread their ideology via algorithms and destroy (by algorithm) anyone who threatens it.

Along the lines of my prior comment, I heard the other day on some business show that youtube was worried about the revenue/profit loss due to eliminating all the "conspiracy theory" videos. As we all know, such videos attract a huge following.

Someone interjected into the conversation the notion that management may not have control over all the "conspiracy theory" video removal...that junior people were taking it upon themselves to clean house.

It is like we have millions upon millions of little Manchurian Candidates working in Big Tech.

Still, the biggest problem is the command and control, authoritarian-government end game.

Those pipsqueaks are just tiny nails in the massive Trojan horse that is Big Tech.
