For
the fourth time since 1900, the West is trying to commit suicide. This
time it's not training battalions of goose-stepping young men to put
their bodies in the cold and soggy trenches of Germany, France, and
Russia, as in World Wars I and II. But just like the Cold War, in which
Soviet imperialism almost conquered the West, the old capitals of
Paris, Berlin, and London are still spreading the political plague of
Marxist totalitarianism, totally heedless of the historic catastrophes
it brought to Russia, China, and all the rest. In a purely intellectual
way, this fact is so idiotic, so self-destructive that no sane person
expected it after the clean defeat of Soviet and Chinese communism
twenty years ago. It is objectively insane.
And yet, today's Western media have never stopped working to destroy the very societies they claim to serve. We have the most pathogenic media in history -- they create social divisions, ethnic hostilities, massive deliberate misunderstandings of the real causes of economic despair, and political "solutions" from the very people who created those problems in the first place. Our media are the worst plague virus in history because they spread falsehoods and block the truth. No society can solve problems if the media lie as a daily habit. Perverse and dysfunctional media can destroy working societies -- Joseph Goebbels' handiwork being a prime example.
