A WORLD WITHOUT AUTHORITY ALLOWS CHAOS TO REIGN

 A WORLD WITHOUT AUTHORITY ALLOWS CHAOS TO REIGN

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

 

Dismantling the power of authority figures has been going on for decades. The popular 1950s television show, “Father Knows Best” would now be entitled “Father Knows Least.” The degrading of the patriarchal family has been destructive towards our culture. Not only parents but also teachers, military personnel, clergy, law enforcers and all stripes of authority figures have lost their power and respect for protecting us from evil. 

 

Without promoting these authority figures to enforce law and order all our essential institutions are weakened. This has happened in our government schools, court system, military, religious institutions and especially our police officers. The “defunding of the police” movement has left our cities in crisis. The movement has not worked except it highlights the importance of police especially for these communities. Arrogantly, the political elites of the community hire their own protection for themselves with taxpayer money. The support for the criminals is coming from slick politicians and racial hustlers not from the community.

 

The Biden administration, democrats, country club republicans, corporate Marxist globalist interests want to undermine the freest nation on earth. Their goal is simply to establish a one-world government.  The way to collapse the U.S. is by weakening its cultural and institutional pillars- one by one. This is already happening, dividing citizens by race, ethnicity, and gender. These Marxist practices cause chaos to run wild corrupting our traditional culture, moral values, history, religion, military and other powerful institutions. These powerful elites know that the U.S. stands in the way of a world coup. 

 

The United States federal and some state governments are attempting to eviscerate our legal system by tying the hands of law enforcement while doing everything to protect the criminals. Darrell Brooks consciously ran down children and adults in a Wisconsin Christmas parade. The woke press has blamed this tragedy on the vehicle, not it’s driver. Prosecutors are rarely questioned about their refusal to prosecute criminals to protect law abiding citizens. 

 

In certain cities in California a person can walk into a store and walk out with less than $950 worth of goods with no legal consequences. In urban centers we daily observe teenagers and young adults with handguns spraying bullets in a congested area with no regard for life.  Some infants and children are killed or injured on a regular basis. Many of our cities are virtual war zones filled with gang members and drug pushers with no regard for the law. 

 

Simultaneously the Biden administration has not enforced laws to deter looting businesses or historical monument destruction.  Democrat governors did not follow Covid-19 restrictions during the so-called “peaceful demonstrations” prohibiting the arrests of woke rioters. Government officials viewed these two groups, Antifa and BLM, as “peaceful demonstrators.” Ridiculously, if the BLM flag is burned it is a hate crime but the U.S. stars and stripes being burned is an expression of freedom of speech. 

 

A bizarre wrinkle to the current administration’s law enforcement policy is the encouraging of open borders without the personnel to evaluate the immigrants’ suitability to enter. To minimize the appearance of a flood of illegals entering our country, they are being flown or driven all over the country on taxpayer funds. Inconceivably, the public is under pressure to get the “vaccine jab” while millions of immigrants from everywhere are being allowed to enter the USA with no check for physical ailments, criminal history or Covid -19 vaccination.  There is no one in authority at the border including Kamal Harris to take command.

 

The first thing patriotic citizens must do is reassert their authority in our families, schools, churches, government bodies and voice their demands for accountability. Patriotic citizens should do their duty and speak up to people in positions of power concerning their actions as well as holding themselves to the same high standards. 

 

By speaking to our leaders, citizens will inspire us all to join their cause for all freedom loving Americans. Just like a forest fire it will leap from one patriot to another. This phenomenon will demonstrate to the Marxist crowd that U.S. citizens will not cower in a corner, instead they will speak up. They will insist on maintaining our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Citizen voices will direct our governmental leaders what to do, not what the corrupt politician dictates say the people should do. 

 

Only by reasserting our freedom of speech and law-abiding citizens’ gun rights will we be able to turn back this assault on our nation’s stability.  Law and order and blind justice must be reestablished on every level of society. 

 

Authority must be based on goodness for the innocent and harshness for the evil for justice to prevail.

THE FAITH VACUUM HAS ELEVATED FEAR

 THE FAITH VACUUM HAS ELEVATED FEAR 

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

Our nation was established by people who had great faith. Most were Bible reading folks who put their lives in God’s hands every day. Many settled in territories that were inhabited by hostile tribes, unsavory characters and wild animals. Regardless of all this danger, they continued to move westward in search of virgin land. Their lives had little physical security except for each other and belief in God as they bravely moved on in search of a better future. 

 

This insecure lifestyle existed for almost everyone who decided to come to America. Many people came here to avoid religious or social repression, and some came for a greater economic opportunity. Even those, mostly from northern Europe who had status and money had to have courage to start over in unsettled land. Many of these people minimized fear and had plenty of courage to transplant themselves in the U.S. 

 

America was not a country for the faint of heart who wanted something for nothing. There was no government welfare waiting for them when they arrived. It was for individuals who desired liberty and an opportunity to compete fairly with others to demonstrate their worth and earn other’s respect. The fear factor did not enter the equation of their future success. They were people of faith and personal fortitude who were ready to confront the unknown.

 

Immigrants from all over the world wanted to become American and show U.S. citizens they were worthy enough to join them. Each wave of new arrivals from various nations paid their dues to become U.S. citizens. At first all ethnic and racial groups faced rejection and prejudice but eventually they were accepted. They learned our language and history, followed their own religious beliefs, honored our laws and fought our enemies. Overwhelmingly they had faith in God, which gave them courage to face life without any government safety net. They usually refused handouts from other citizens as they appreciated the gift of freedom. 

 

Many of these immigrants came from oppressive governments. The leaders of these nations promised citizens they would gain what they wanted with one hand while limiting freedom with the other. The more citizens’ freedoms were extinguished, the more the people were likely to depend on government to provide for them. Simultaneously, they lost their self-worth and their strong connection with God. The absence of depending on God was filled by the oppressive government. 

 

When a tyrannical state exploits a crisis, citizens’ fears escalate. Many fearful people believe they have only big government politicians to reestablish order. Their faith in God’s guidance to correct the chaos that engulfs them evaporates. It is replaced by nonsensical and counterproductive edicts, which undermine governmental legitimacy. This increases the people’s fear of further repression by the state of losing their rights and possessions.

 

As irrational government edicts continue to be adopted by the fearful, weak citizens, the more they encourage the bureaucrats that their psyop policies are working. More oppressive decrees are produced to exacerbate fear in the hearts of the people for not conforming. The media’s indoctrination fans the flames of uncertainty.

Reversing corrupt government’s use of any crisis to provoke the fear factor can be counteracted by turning back to faith in God. The enslaved Eastern European communist nations went through a religious awakening. People of faith confronted tyranny by voicing truth regardless of the threats or tortures inflicted on them. These courageous people instead of falling into despair, increased their numbers, resolve and courage not to cower to evil.

 

Faith in God reinforces the innocent victims’ backbone with steel. It inspires them to endure incredible torture and conquer it by praying even more for courage to fight evil. Being conditioned to accept draconian mandates and other infringements of basic human rights is tantamount to being a slave to the state. This weakens the resolve of many who are wavering in their decision making. When people realize the individual expression of courage inspires others to regain their faith, we are on the path of righteousness. Once the indecisive others begin to join the march for freedom, others will follow. Faith will rise while the fear factor collapses.

 

Let all good people comprehend that when we unite under the banner of God, evil does lose its power to suppress us. God-following people earn their courage and freedom from the grace of God. Faith in God dissolves the element of fear placed in the minds by evil oppressors. 

 

Whenever tyranny grows, God-fearing people must become aware that evil will only retreat when people speak up and demonstrate against mask mandates, vaccine mandates, lies, deception, destruction of innocent people and distorting reality to make the populous fearful.

 Faith in God conquers fear of the relentless evil forces in government.

TEASING A CHILD HELPS TO PREVENT RAISING A SNOWFLAKE

 TEASING A CHILD HELPS TO PREVENT RAISING A SNOWFLAKE

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

The birth of a child is a miracle. Parents are amazed by their baby’s every movement, feature and reaction to different people and objects. Every smile, sound and movement triggers delight and amusement for the parents who identify their infant’s rapid changes every day.  Moment by moment the baby transforms into a more active and aware human being.

 

The growth of a child is like a rocket launch. It lifts off the ground slowly, each second seems like a lifetime then explodes into the air sending shock waves. The length of time it takes a child to become an adolescent happens before the parents realize this stage of life has arrived. It is the reason many parents have a difficult time letting their child grow up and why many adolescents are reluctant to leave the safety of their home even though they want autonomy. 

 

Children physically grow up before the parents are prepared for it. Presto, the baby has separated from its parents. Too many modern parents have little appreciation of the limited time they have to share their knowledge and assist their child to be a productive citizen with good character. They metaphysically have not taken their child to the mountaintop to show them the world below and to point out the challenges and difficulties in life faced by everyone. 

 

Many modern parents have been indoctrinated through books, magazines stories and Hollywood that parents should treat their child as a fragile, precious thing that should be shielded from any harsh realities of life. At all costs, the child should be protected from failure and hardships that confront them instead of learning to power through life’s frequent challenges.

 

This permissive, materialistic and instant gratification approach to childrearing was started by Dr. Benjamin Spock in his book, Baby and Child Care. It changed traditional child rearing which greatly impacted the raising of children from the 1950s through today. Dr. Spock ran for president in 1972 on the People’s Party and was a socialist activist throughout his adult life. 

 

Today many adolescents are not leaving their parent’s basements or becoming self-sufficient by entering the job market. On college campuses we have set up special safe spaces, marshmallow and jazz clapping and nasty opposition to anyone who has a different perspective from the woke students. Conservative speakers at colleges were either cancelled or were attacked by the audience and escorted out of the venue by campus police. These fragile adolescents have been labeled “snowflakes.” They melt away from any adversity. These youngsters have been given inflated grades often for doing failing work, have won trophies for losing and were incessantly told how wonderful they are for no substantial reason. They are drowned in instant gratification without doing anything substantial to earn it.

 

In a rational society parents would be considered abusive for not preparing their offspring for the dangerous world. Drug addiction, suicide, and mental illness continues to skyrocket for these youngsters. They were not taught that life is often unfair with many obstacles that need to be overcome. Instead, they have been shielded from these harsh events of life, leaving them unprepared so even when they receive normal peer put downs, they are devastated. Many of these youngsters when faced with difficulties of growing up turn to quick methods of dealing with their pain by legal or illegal self-medication. 

 

Modern parents are being deprived of lessons and methods traditional parents used in the past to help their child become a functional adult. A simple way parents assist their child’s understanding that they are not perfect is by playfully teasing them when they make a mistake or do something inappropriate.  The teasing motivates the child to explore ways to lessen their inappropriate reactions. When peers begin the teasing antics the child learns how to stop the “teasing game” by ignoring it or countering it.

 

Since children learn from each other, parents should arrange activities for their child to play with others of a similar age.  This learning is currently non-existent in our smaller families and adult supervised activities.  When the child complains about how they are being treated unfairly by others, instead of protecting them the parents should tell the child to correct the situation on their own. 

 

Placing faith in their child to solve their own social issues is the best method of raising a confident, independent child and prevent a “melting snowflake.” Falling apart or melting into a puddle of weakness is not a healthy or appropriate response.

BOUNDARIES ARE NEEDED

 BOUNDARIES ARE NEEDED

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

Our U.S. culture has been specifically spelled out for citizens. We were blessed with our constitution where legal citizens, “the people,” not the politicians were given the right of being in charge. Our value system was based on Judeo-Christian moral values. The family was encouraged to be in charge and responsible for their children’s welfare, behavior and belief system. The U.S. was free, safe, predictable, and provided law and order through blind justice for all. 

 

Americans have become blasé about all the blessings the United States has provided for them.  We have become greedy due to false mass media news and advertising, corrupting movies and liberal lending policies. Status symbols are available to many individuals who cannot even afford them. Conspicuous consumption has seduced us into the slavery of debt. Bankruptcy has become commonplace, so it is no longer a stigma. Thriftiness, which is a value that limits unwise buying has faded. 

 

The boundaries of personal responsibility have been stretched to the point that they no longer inhibit negative behavior.  Almost every traditional institution has relaxed its expectations and penalties for previously illegal or scandalous behavior. Even the U.S. borders are no longer boundaries. 

 

The summer riots of 2020 in Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Oakland and many other cities demonstrated the progressive politicians’ power to create chaos to increase fear in citizens. Antifa, BLM and woke members destroyed statues, looted, burned businesses, government buildings and assaulted individuals. The roving mobs were ignored by law enforcement as politicians ordered them to stand down which exacerbated the violence.

 

Criminals with significant rap sheets were released back on the street to commit serious offenses. Large corporations were not charging people with shoplifting up to $900. Sexual assaults were being dismissed or overlooked for prosecution. These policies were not propagated to cause order but disorder. There was practically no punishment for criminal violence.

 

Defunding the police movement was a bizarre outgrowth of blaming the police for these summer riots. The low-income residents of urban neighborhoods were the most negatively affected by not having police available to protect them and their property. Then citizens spoke up by demanding the return to law and order by funding the police forces. They understood far left politicians were hypocritical phonies by eliminating law enforcement for the public while demanding armed protection at public expense.                        

 

Our nuclear family structure is under ridicule in our schools, literature, and media. Parents have been indoctrinated by the media to follow the permissive child development approach. Children’s sleeping patterns, work ethic, speaking and sexual behavior should be left to the children to discern. This ushered in fewer parameters and greater power for children but limited power for parents. This has wrecked the cohesiveness of the most important social unit- the family. 

 

The elites have swiped control of government schools from parents. They instituted inflated grades, decreased access to teachers and administrators, and set up public relations departments. They did all this to fool the parents into thinking everything was going well. Both parents working made it difficult to monitor their children’s curriculum. Parents were not standing up to blatant disrespect for their role to insure the best possible education for their children. Bureaucrats were brazen enough to say they are the ones to determine the children’s education. 

 

Through their confrontation and mostly by their vote parents are making their voices heard. Too many parents are expressing their negative feelings allow the truth to be buried. Government schools have overstepped their bounds with disastrous results in our education and society.

 

The most egregious trampling of the foundation of the United States has been Marxist politicians disregarding our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The politicians used the fear of the Covid pandemic to decree presidential edicts that remove many of our freedoms and rights. The Biden administration has disregarded the boundaries of the executive limits placed on it by the Constitution. The abuse of our Constitution has reached nearly the level of a coup. Citizens must demand a return to law and blind justice on all level of society.

 

We the People now realize we have made significant errors taking our liberties for granted. We currently should understand that not exercising our First Amendment right will end up in tyranny. The freest and economically greatest nation on earth will cease to exist, not only for U.S. citizens but for the hopes of individuals all over the world. 

 

The United States needs to reestablish boundaries in our families, law enforcement, education and living Biblical moral values and especially in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  This will prevent taking the road of hedonism, drug abuse, sexual slavery and other satanic actions. 

Boundaries exist as a warning sign to caution us not to cross over the line into personal and national self-destruction and chaos.

PREVENTING INDOCTRINATION IN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS BY REFUSING FEDERAL GRANTS

 PREVENTING INDOCTRINATION IN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS BY REFUSING FEDERAL GRANTS

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

In 1965 the Elementary and Secondary Act started funding public education with federal grant money. In just over 50 years, the federal government has come to believe they can supersede the rights of parents to the minds of the children. Terry McAuliffe, former Virginia governor, arrogantly stated, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” He was serious.

 

Parents taking back our schools is going to require citizens standing up to school officials as they are now doing throughout the USA. This process is not going to be easy, but it is essential for our children. The ability to maintain the importance of our liberty in the freest nation on earth depends on the future generations’ education.

 

To begin the process of terminating the federal government’s indoctrination into the minds of our children, local school boards must begin to refuse federal grants. This will prevent the feds from dictating local school policies and return the autonomy of our children’s education to the parents. Our academic skills, history, critical thinking and moral values have to be inculcated into the impressionable minds of our nation’s children. These skills, factual history, and moral values will arm them with  sufficient knowledge and strength of character to uphold our traditions in order to maintain our rights and freedoms.

 

The seduction of money in politics has always been a means of gaining power. Buying off political officials to further corrupt the government system has been employed throughout history. We should be vigilant that all tax money from “We the People” should be used to provide the best education possible. The federal education bureaucracy wants to eliminate any traditional moral values. Patriarchal history has been cancelled and replaced by social justice and hedonism. Anti-capitalism, anti-family, anti-law and order and anything that fosters the greatness of the United States is being presented as negative to our children. 

 

Our educational indoctrination does more than degrade or eliminate our positive history. It promotes hedonism, anti-Biblical values, casual-impersonal sex, being given a living wage instead of earning it. We are losing the merits of working toward the American dream. Besides debasing our culture, academics, acceptable behavior, critical thinking, and excellence in schools our children’s minds are being drilled with anti-American theories. 

 

Our government schools are brain washing our white students to feel guilty through the racist narrative of white supremacy. White students are being shamed with guilt that they are recipients of disgraceful privileges given to them for their whiteness. White skin has become like the Star of David tattooed on Jews during the Nazi reign of terror. Meanwhile children of color are being taught, they are victims of the white establishment. This narrative only leads to division, jealousy, and hatred. It also damages black children to believe any struggle and effort on their part will not overcome the institutional racism in this society-becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy.

 

“White privilege” is supposed to be the cause of all the ills of the “downtrodden people of color” in the USA and throughout the world. According to our Marxist elites, the USA is the “evil empire.” If the obvious propagandizing of our children continues, soon children will be reporting parents to the Culture Teacher Police. This would be 1984 on steroids. 

 

Our liberties are shrinking as the woke elites promote lying, deceptive narratives about the practices used by our past national heroes.  The history of our nation becomes repressive rather than inspiring when we tear down the statues of our heroes and transform them into racist villains. Revisionist history is an essential tactic of all communist movements.

 

The only means of preventing further damage to the development of our children’s understanding is for citizens to regain control of their children’s schools. The most effective way to achieve this goal is for the government to give back the parents’ tax money to let them choose the school that is best for their child. If we allow the elites to continue to control our education, it will create the communist United States of America.

 

Our students are missing geography, grammar, cursive writing, history, civility, math, logic, critical thinking, and the ability to verbalize thoughts, knowledge and feelings. Our children are becoming ignorant pawns of the government. The lack of students considering different points of view is a platform for brainwashing. Freedom of speech is withering away on the vine of the deceptive communist lies, propaganda and methodology. American people should insist our schools teach truth, knowledge, and spirituality to turn our students toward goodness and away from evil. 

 

Our local school boards should reject federal grants as they invariably have strings attached to change local school policies. Refusing federal grant money from Washington, D.C. is a miniscule price to pay to regain our nation.
