[El Gringo]

How we lost our liberty in 1966.Politics and economics are put under a microscope. The human thought process (epistemology) is examined, relying on simple definitions of truth and knowledge. Education and sociology are discussed. The two major collectivist movements of recent history, Nazism and communism, are shown to have the same source: Georges Sorell. The book is dedicated to the founders and promulgators of the Judeo-Christian traditions. Liberty can be revived by a devotion to truth and morals as defined by the Ten Commandments. Truth is sustained not only by avoiding lies, but by challenging lies when they are spoken.

Any thoughtful American has to be concerned about the current course of events in the United States. Few of us can understand and verbalize the meaning of these events. There is a book on the internet that gets to the heart of what has been occurring here for perhaps 80 years. This book, Bye-Bye Sweet Liberty, shows how things really took a turn for the worse in 1966 when an unopposed Congress took measures that seem to be leading to a Closed Society. The sort of society feared so much by, and examined carefully by Karl R. Popper. The book quotes Popper freely, and clearly shows how Plato hated liberty, but hid his hatred, and this has confused social scientists, philosophers and politicians through the ages. As a matter of fact, Bye-Bye Sweet Liberty shows how there has been a strong push to displace the morality of the Ten Commandments with a “new morality:” that of Robespierre, Mead, Kinsey, Freud, and Rorty. Politics and economics are put under a microscope. The human thought process (epistemology) is examined, relying on simple definitions of truth and knowledge. Education and sociology are discussed. The two major collectivist movements of recent history, Nazism and communism, are shown to have the same source: Georges Sorell. The book is dedicated to the founders and promulgators of the Judeo-Christian traditions. Liberty can be revived by a devotion to truth and morals as defined by the Ten Commandments. Truth is sustained not only by avoidings lies, but by challenging lies when they are spoken. One of the worst lies, pretense of knowledge, must be challenged whenever it is encountered. To do so, one must know what constitutes knowledge. The author has roots in two cultures, Latino and Anglo-American, so he brings some powerful previously unknown perspective into cultural and racial arguments.
