Is Globalism the New End of History?
American Thinker ^ | March 27, 2020 | Peter Dempsey

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the traditional ruling class was replaced with technocratic governments. The old elite were interested only in perpetuating their power and managing the general affairs of the state. In contrast, the new managerial class was much more ruthless and methodical. Their ambition went farther than any tyranny of the past; they believed they had a quasi-divine mandate to reshape society in their image. The main purpose of their political activities was to find the optimal governing model that maximized their power and the ideology that legitimized it. Religious myths were replaced with an ideological narrative. As a direct consequence, the twentieth century has shown that in the absence of an absolute, divine reference, words can justify any atrocity.

A totalitarian ideology aims to impose a vision on society and transform the individual mindset to fit a collectivist pattern. All ideologies pretend they respond to a social necessity and that they are the end of history. Ideologies are a means of transferring morality from the divine to a human level, thus shifting the emphasis from truth to power. Fascism, National Socialism, and socialism left behind a trail of economic devastation, wars, and mass murder. The fascist economies were based on a corporatist model; big companies in Germany and Italy worked alongside the state to set a national economic policy. As economic depression set in, some of those companies were nationalized. Trade unions were replaced with an organization controlled by the ruling class. The spending on social welfare in fascist economies exceeded that of other European nations. In the United States, the New Deal enacted reconstruction programs through cooperation between big businesses and the government bureaucracy, under the wise guidance of the Federal Reserve.

“We have fallen down the rabbit hole to a place where the Mad Hatter is not just mad, but evil. We are in a permanent war with Islamic terror, white supremacism, drugs, viruses, and the climate. A mix of propaganda and psychological warfare has created the level of fear, chaos, and violence necessary for a radical transformation. From orange and yellow terror alerts to pandemics, the ruling class needs to keep the peons in a permanent state of fear. Never let a good crisis go to waste, and if no good crisis is available, manufacture one. To our rulers, God is dead, so the connection between morality and the rule of law that is essential to the good workings of a republic has been broken. The rule of law is gradually being replaced with the designed chaos and violence of social justice, while morality has become just a cover for ‘humanitarian’ propaganda.”

It is a well-written chronicle.

But so is the Bible, which told us first, and also gave us the solution.

But they view the Bible as an old dusty book that can be ignored.

The federal government of the United States has become an entity unto itself, and will ruthlessly defend itself against the very people it pretends to serve.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - We are no longer governed; we are ruled. Until that changes, we will continue to be ruled. As for me, I bend my knee to no one, save He that made me.

The irony is so think now, isn’t it?!

Funny thing about that Bible, once one comes to know the Lord and begin to understand His word, reality becomes crystal clear for the first time ever and fear no longer remains. One can tell a true believer from a pretender just by fear alone.

I make a slight distinction.
We are being controlled.
Rather than ruled.
We still have our basic freedoms..but they are definitely in danger.
