Enrico Ferri (1856-1926), a prominent socialist of his day, was an Italian criminologist who for many years was the editor of Avanti, a socialist daily.  Writing in "Socialism and Religious Beliefs," he spoke of the all-important connection between Darwin's theory and socialism:  "I add that not only is Darwinism not contrary to socialism, but that it forms one of its fundamental scientific premises.  As Virchow justly remarked, socialism is nothing else than the logical and vital outcome partly of Darwinism and partly of Spencerian evolution."  (www.marxists.org/...) Enrico frankly discussed how and why Darwinian socialism serves as an alternate religion:  "socialism...

Greek mythology tells the tale of Prometheus, a Titan who envied Zeus his godlike powers. Driven by his covetousness, he stole some of Zeus's power, then was caught and punished by being tied to a rock. The underlying assumption of this myth is that man and God are antagonists. Man covets godlike powers, but since God refuses to share any of his power, man must take it---or steal it. In ancient pagan civilizations, Promethean men were able to give free reign to the dark impulses that urged them to become as 'gods.' Although they lacked the ability to create life,...

"In Aug., 2003, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced the results of their $1.2 million tax-payer funded study.  It stated, essentially, that traditionalists are mentally disturbed.  Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives, in particular, suffer from 'mental rigidity,' 'dogmatism,' and 'uncertainty avoidance,' together with associated indicators for mental illness."  (B.K. Eakman, Chronicles, Oct. 2004, pp. 28-29)   As usual with leftists, the true meaning of their words is couched in deceptive code.  When the deceptions are peeled away we discover that ''dogmatism''...

"Not too many years ago, Americans had never heard of sensitivity training, and if a facilitator of it had tried to convince them that they needed to be conditioned by it, he would have been told, very quickly and in no uncertain terms, to take a hike.  However, step by careful step, sensitivity training began to be stealthily inserted into our society.  Today, Americans simply submit to it without much thought, let alone any protest."  ("Psychopolitics: Joe Six-Pack and the Crocodile" Linda Kimball)   Sensitivity training, hate-crime laws, political correctness, multiculturalism, and the group dynamics and/or 'facilitated consensus process'---all of...

In 1920, Winston Churchill spoke of a group of Enlightenment conspirators who had produced a system of morals and philosophy "as malevolent as Christianity was benevolent, which, if not arrested would shatter irretrievably all that Christianity has rendered possible."  He observed that this malignant worldview "has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century.  This worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality has been steadily growing"  (Zionism versus Bolshevism).   This malevolent system of warped morals and anti-human philosophy entered...

Although no shots have thus far been fired, a fierce battle is nonetheless being waged for the hearts and souls of Americans. The combatants, locked in a life-or-death struggle, are two antithetical worldviews. On one side is America's traditional Christian-Judeo worldview, selected by our Founders as the moral rock on which to anchor our nation. First among its principles is the sanctity of life, an absolute necessity if individual liberty and equality before the law are to exist. The second combatant is a malevolent alien to our shores. It's based in arrested emotional development, invidious envy, and phantasmagorical dreams of...

"I'm a member of a lost generation.  We have lost our values…our faith…And ourselves.  Traditional authority figures—parents, community leaders, even God—have been discarded.  Sex-ed instructors, university professors, advertisers, Hollywood actors, MTV artists, assorted celebrities—act as the new elders of a church of corrupt, shallow and materialistic humanism.  The porn generation…inhabits a world where 'empowerment' means sex with no strings attached.  Our new god is Tolerance of all behavior, our new credo "live and let live."  Ben Shapiro   The 'porn elders' worship upon the altars of various foully perverse academic and social Darwinian 'scientism gods' whose gospel of "fornication" they...

On April 27th of this year, the heavy hand of Bolshevism clamped down upon David Parker, a Lexington, MA. citizen and father of a six year old son. David was arrested on trumped up charges, handcuffed like a dangerous felon, and led off to jail. His heinous crime? Parker is guilty of being a morally principled man with the courage to request that he and his wife be given advance notification when issues of sexual unnaturalness and perversion (transgenderism, sodomy, and same-sex headed relationships) were going to be discussed in his son's classroom. Said Parker, "certain authorities insist that I...

Progressivism, human secularism, and liberalism are just communism parading under other identities.  The authors of "The Black Book of Communism" condemned it as a criminal ideology: "Crimes against humanity are the product of an ideology that reduces people to a particular condition, be it biological, racial, socio-historical."  Add "sexual orientation" to that list.     Social Darwinism (communism), according to the authors, leads to the animalization of human beings (verified by Communist Textbook of Psychopolitics).  It strips them of their souls and reduces them to worthless slabs of meat.  Furthermore, it breaks down the crucial morally induced barriers of restraint by...

In an article entitled, "Two Illegal Immigrants Win Arizona Ranch in Court," (New York Times, 8/19/05), Andrew Pollack wrote, "The land transfer is being made to satisfy judgements in a lawsuit in which the immigrants had said that…the owner of the ranch had harmed them." Pollack quoted Morris Dees, co-founder and chief trial counsel of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as stating, "…it's poetic justice that these undocumented workers own this land (loss of the ranch would) send a pretty important message to those who come to the border to use violence." Note that Dees, true to communist form,...

Common sense, traditional values Americans are appalled and angered by the despotic arrest and subsequent jailing of David Parker, a Lexington, Massachusetts father. Parker was hauled off to jail for daring to request that his six-year old son not be subjected to Stalinist-style homosexual sensitivity training. Parker, whose trial begins September 21, is still being banned from all school property. Doubtless the supercilious District Attorney, school and town officials, and same-sex activists see themselves as enlightened 'cutting edge' free-thinkers—the 'windshields,' in other words. The cold hard reality is otherwise, for these pompous clowns are really just bugs on the windshield....

The Forbidden Book Steve Farrell When your business is communizing America, it is vital that access to the truth about America's founding be denied to every student of American history, cultural and law. And the best way to do that is to eliminate all references to God and morality in public dialogue under a 'high and holy' appeal to religious freedom. High and holy, is it? Why don't we ask the martyred dead? Or have we forgotten that only a few centuries ago hundreds and hundreds of thousands of individuals in Europe were burned at the stake simply for reading...

CFR's Plan to Integrate the U.S., Mexico and Canada by Phyllis Schlafly, July 13, 2005 The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has just let the cat out of the bag about what's really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A 59-page CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter." "Community" means integrating the United States with the corruption, socialism, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada. "Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S.,...

ChronWatch News & Editorial               Like a frenzied pack of howling curs, America's malignant Left ravenously feasted upon the Abu Ghraib scandal when it broke.  The opportunity it provided for them to engage in a wholesale orgy of America bashing was an allure they could not resist.  In short order, horrified gasps of moral outrage were heard from leftist mainstream media as their headlines blared, "House of Horrors…sadism at Abu Ghraib prison!"  (U.S. News and World Report) and "sexual depravity, sadism and violence orchestrated by US soldiers" (Chicago Tribune).  Soon, pictures of Iraqi prisoners were being gleefully brandished as...

ChronWatch News & Editorial           America's liberals, also known as progressives, leftists, and Democrats are really just Marxists trying to trick uninformed Americans. They, along with the world's international socialists, are on a messianic crusade to remake mankind; to 'perfect' him through the restructuring of his nature, his consciousness, and his human relations.   Like gods, they believe they have the ability to create an earthly paradise, presided over by themselves, of course.  Their vision requires an absolute metamorphosis, thus the power and control they need must likewise be absolute.  In pursuit of the power and control they require, they follow the...

Once upon a time, not too awfully long ago, America was known as the 'shining city on the hill.' America, the most radical experiment in the history of the world, was the only nation to which people oppressed and repressed by old world systems of social classes and castes could be free of the stifling bindings engendered by those man created constraints. She was a Judao-Christian nation where God of the bible, and not an elite ruling class, was sovereign over all. America was the land of hope, promise and opportunity, where not only all men were equal before God's...

The Apostle Paul said, "Let us behave decently." And at one time not so very long ago, the majority of Americans believed that behaving decently was the right thing to do. Decency, respect, and civilization go hand in hand. But modern libertine man has spurned decency, because where decency is, libertinism, which goes hand in hand with disrespect and indecency, can not exist openly. Writing in "Judaisms Sexual Revolution: Why Judaism And Then Christianity Rejected Homosexuality," Dennis Prager said; '.....Human sexuality, especially male sexuality.....is utterly wild. Men have had sex with women.....men....little girls and young boys....a single partner...large groups....immediate family...

It seems that not a day goes by without our ears being deafened by secular socialist's strident demands for 'equality.' But it isn't equality they really seek. If it was, they would have been satisfied with having the equality of opportunity provided them by our Constitution and Rule of Law. The reality is that it's Marxist-style egalitarianism they are are clamoring for. Where America's traditional form of equality is blind to distinctions of color, sex, and individual nature, egalitarianism notes all differences and seeks to level and even to eradicate them in the name of fairness. Everyone must become the...

My previous column, 'Denying The Obvious And Becoming Stupid And Depraved," dealt with how moral truth and reality are knowable to us by virtue of the four witnesses: the witness of design in nature, the witness of our own design, the witness of deep conscience, and the witness of natural consequences. These four witneses used in conjunction with common sense (empirical historic knowledge) lead us to the principle of 'how things are meant to work.". Things naturally work correctly in certain ways and wrongly in others because of the existence of transcendant inbuilt disciplines that function as laws. In short,...

Since the founding of the Moral Majority in the late 1970s, the Left has been obsessed with conservative Christians. This fixation is driven by fear, loathing, and old-fashioned opportunism. Hatred of traditional Christians is as old as H.L. Mencken (who, by the way, didn't have the warm fuzzies for blacks or Jews either). In recent decades, the Left has come to see evangelical Christians as the principal obstacle to the realization of its social agenda, hence the embodiment of evil. Correspondingly, attacks on "fundamentalists" have grown increasingly shrill. Even so, the rhetoric of the past two weeks has taken the...
