Welcome to American Dissident Voices, the only program on the
radio today that dares to speak the uncensored truth about the
decline and imminent fall of America and of Western Civilization
itself. I'm your host, Kevin Alfred Strom.
No one over the age of 35 could possibly be unaware of the
fact that our nation and our civilization are very sick indeed.
I'm 36 years old, and among my family and friends in my age group
or higher we regularly use the term "the old America"
when referring to any of the attributes or qualities that America used
to have when she was a healthy, vital, optimistic, and
progressive nation. Our younger listeners may be able to get an
impression of what America used to be like by talking to older
family members or watching old dramas or newsreels. When we think
of the bright and happy faces of schoolchildren from the 1950's
or earlier - that is the old America. When we remember city parks
and streets and tidy neighborhoods that were safe for women and
children, day and night - that is the old America. When we recall
a New York City or a Los Angeles that was still populated by Americans
and lacking such modern additions as drug killings, gang violence,
and ubiquitous pornography and prostitution - that is the old America. When
we cast our minds back to a day when a dollar's work was given
for a dollar's pay; when a man's word was his bond; when everyone
still knew the meaning of the word "honor" - that was
the old America.
Today, the old America is gone forever. Those of us unlucky
enough to live in a major metropolitan area know the feeling of
unease and mistrust as we emerge from behind our multiple locks
and security systems to face the multicultural urban jungle.
Those of us in the business world know the feeling of "every
man for himself" that pervades a marketplace often devoid of
any sense of honor or decency. Americans working in the public
sector could tell a thousand tales of the petty dictators, pious
hypocrites, and plain old crooks and criminals that infest and
increasingly dominate the bureaucracy today.
Now, there are a lot of reasons and explanations given for the
transformation of that relatively happy and pleasant land that I
call the old America into the America of today: A dog-eat-dog
polyglot mixing bowl, politically dominated by the special
interests, and combining the worst features of socialism and
capitalism.
Many of these explanations have a modicum of truth in them.
There is no doubt that increased crime, a paternalistic welfare
state, the decline of the moral authority of the established
churches and the parallel rise of belief in weird "new
age" doctrines of the supernatural, and the breakup of the
natural family due to economic factors and the pernicious
influence of feminism have all had their deleterious effects. And secondly,
there is also no doubt that there has been a deliberate effort on
the part of rich and powerful internationalists and their leftist
allies to put an end to America's independence and erase her
traditions, values, and genetic and cultural heritage.
But these things, important as they are, are not the major
reason for the transformation of the old America into the uneasy,
unhappy, and fractured America of today.
Despite my love and high regard for the America I grew up in,
and despite my hopes for her ultimate restoration, I must
confess: The old America had within her the seed of her own
destruction. That seed was the fallacy of equality.
Egged on by America's enemies and by well-meaning Liberal
dupes, Americans have pursued the phantom of equality to the
point where we have almost totally destroyed our unity. Let me
explain what I mean.
The America of the recent past had unity. Prior to 1965, over
90% of our citizens were of European descent. We shared a common
language and a common culture. Though our religious beliefs were
not identical, we shared almost all of our values and our moral
code in common. We shared a common belief in the principles of
limited government and personal freedom and responsibility
enshrined in our Constitution. When people share a common set of
ideals, they find it easy to live under the government and laws
that their representatives have chosen, for those laws are
consonant with their inborn needs and values. When people share a
common or extremely similar genetic and cultural heritage, they
tend to value the same things, and they tend to have a feeling of
community that helps them get along well together.
When, however, the people of a country are divided into
different and sometimes hostile interest groups, that unity is
lost. Some of those differing interests could be based on natural
and irreconcilable differences, such as ethnic differences; and
some of them might be based merely on different economic or
political points of view. But in either case, when the line is
crossed from national unity to national disunity, the nation and the
people suffer. What one group demands as a right - another group
wants to outlaw. Abortion is a good example of this. If one group
isn't as economically prosperous as another - the group at the
bottom wants to take what the other group has - and the group on
top thinks they are being robbed. Doesn't that pretty well describe
the sorry state of race relations in this country over the last
few decades? By pursuing the idea of equality - that these
differences in culture or in ethnic heritage don't matter - we
have transformed our society from the unified and relatively
happy America of the 1950's into the endlessly squabbling and occasionally
violent mish-mash of cultures and values of today. We have decided
that it's wicked to recognize these differences - our equality
mania has led us to think that it is bad manners to notice that people
from Samoa or Lapland are different from us. We have taken the
idea of equality so far in this country that we have entirely
lost any sense of our national identity. We have come to believe
that an American is anyone standing on this side of an imaginary
line drawn on a map. Our younger listeners, who have had this
crazy idea stuffed down their throats in the public schools and on
TV for years, may find it difficult to believe; but it didn't
used to be that way in America, and it still isn't that way in
most countries on planet Earth. A nation is actually a biological
entity much more than it is a political entity. It is based less
on ideas than on blood. Regardless of what type of government
they choose, the Japanese are still Japanese, and a Finn or a
Frenchman or an American visiting Japan cannot become Japanese no
matter what he does. The Japanese are a people with a healthy
sense of identity - a sense which too many Americans have lost.
It is our mistaken belief in universal human equality that has led
us to this tragic loss of identity and unity.
It is indeed unfortunate that the genius and patriot, Thomas
Jefferson, chose the poetic but inexact and potentially
misleading phrase "all men are created equal" to be a
part of our Declaration of Independence. Jefferson certainly did
not mean by that phrase what most of us take it to mean today. He
did not mean to imply that all men were equally endowed with
intelligence or creativity or energy or diligence or moral sense. He
did not mean that a Hottentot or Kickapoo or Chinaman was exactly
the same as an Anglo-Saxon or a Frenchman. His contemporary
writings and public statements strongly indicate that had you
suggested such theories to him, he would have judged you insane
and more than likely laughed you out of the room.
It is true, to be sure, that Jefferson had a healthy contempt
for the unnatural aristocracy of state and church that imposed
its will upon the bodies and minds of men at the time. He had, in
his own words, "sworn upon the altar of God eternal
hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man - that
is why the clergy oppose me." But Jefferson believed that
this tyranny was unjust precisely because it prevented the
naturally talented and intelligent members of his society from
rising to their proper place, in a natural aristocracy of true
merit that could only exist in the free society he sought to
build.
What Thomas Jefferson really meant, and which he was
understood to mean by all his contemporaries, was that Englishmen
and Colonists ought to be equal in the sense that they had rights
that the government and the King were bound to recognize and
respect; and that any government that trod roughly over these rights should
be overthrown by the people. Sounds a bit like a dangerous
right-wing extremist, doesn't he?
What a contrast to the interpretation of his words in America
today! Today, Jefferson's words "all men are created
equal" are used indirectly to justify things that he would
have found manifestly unjust and insane: the imposition of racial
quotas in hiring and education, the forced integration of the
public schools, the creation of the world's first politically
protected disease - AIDS - and a thousand other things that characterize
the equality jag that America has been on since the Second World
War.
Kurt Vonnegut wrote a story some years ago which described an
absurd world in which the idea of equality was carried to its
ultimate extreme. I may not remember it exactly, but as I recall,
in this imaginary world, people who had strong bodies were forced
to carry huge stones on their backs so that they could walk no better
than those who were crippled. Those who could see normally had
their eyes put out so that they would be equal to the blind. Healthy
babies had limbs cut off so they would be equal to those born
with birth defects. Beautiful girls had their faces disfigured so
that they would be equal to the ugly. Equality is frightening
idea when it is put that way, isn't it? But it really isn't so
different from the very real world of Communism, which for more
than seventy years murdered, tortured, and consigned millions of human beings
to a living hell in the name of an impossible equality. In the name
of equality, independent farmers had to be starved into
submission; businessmen had to be dispossessed; and all those
with loyalty to their families or to their nation's ancient
traditions had to be beaten into submission or killed. All those who,
by dint of their hard work or natural abilities, had risen above
the level of the lowest of the low, were dragged down into the
dirt in an orgy of envy and blood-lust engineered by criminals
who called themselves "communists" and who knew very
well that equality was impossible and who intended to set themselves
up as the new masters in the slave-state erected upon the
foundation of the fallacy of equality.
I am sorry to have to say it, but America is presently headed
in the same direction today. But it doesn't have to be that way.
If enough intelligent Americans will have the courage to stand up
and say "Enough is enough! I'm not going to take it any
more!" then the juggernaut of "equality" that is destroying
our nation can be stopped. The enemies of America will try to
convince you that you're a bigot, a hater, and an extremist if you
recognize the fact of human inequality, but that simply isn't so.
The simple and plain truth of the matter is that people are
different. This doesn't mean that in recognizing that fact we
"hate" anyone or any group. Recognizing facts will help
us solve problems and that will beneficial to everybody in the
long run. But it is a fact that some individuals are more intelligent
or faster runners or better artists than are others. This may not
be "fair" to those less well endowed with desirable characteristics
but it is a fact. It is a dangerous delusion to believe that what
we wish to be real actually is real. What is true for individuals
is also true for nations and ethnic groups. It would be
ridiculous for us to claim that Americans or Europeans are better
sprinters than Nigerians, or that we are better oarsmen than the Pacific
Islanders. Just the same, it would be insane for Samoa or Uganda
to claim to equal us in the construction of supercomputers or the
composition of classical symphonies. It is time for us to
recognize simple reality.
In the name of equality we now have school districts in which
dozens or sometimes hundreds of languages are used in a hopeless
attempt to educate the children there. In the name of equality we
now have colleges in which a large and rising percentage of the
graduates are foreigners, while American boys and girls flip hamburgers,
unable to get into these schools. In the name of equality we now
have politics by riot, when the surest way to insure that court
decisions go your way and federal money comes to you, is to burn
and kill and rape on a mass scale. In the name of equality, we
now have a society so disunited that it is impossible to get a
fair trial, since the verdict is almost entirely dependent on the
racial composition of the jury. In the name of equality, we have
a public health bureaucracy that is putting all of us at risk of catching
the inevitably deadly AIDS virus by refusing to institute rigorous
testing and reporting requirements for all those in high-risk
groups and those in close contact with the public like doctors
and restaurant workers. In the name of equality, we now have a
public and private sector that hire and promote not on the basis
of merit or ability, but rather on the basis of an employee's
membership or lack thereof in a currently favored racial or sexual
or other group. This last policy is guaranteed to lower our efficiency
and productivity, a fact which I'm sure is not lost on the
Japanese and other nations now rising to power in the post-Cold
War period.
No society so fractured, so disunited, and so wasteful of its
own resources and talents will long survive on Earth. The myth of
equality must be exposed for what it really is: at best, a
delusion - at worst, a malicious lie used by the enemies of
America to destroy us.
We Americans need more than anything else to become educated
as to the truth about our perilous situation, and we need to
understand the true facts of American history. The liberal media
and the public schools are not going to give us these facts, so
it is up to us to do the research and find out the facts for ourselves.
For those of you in my audience who understand that we live in
dangerous times, and who feel the call of patriotism to do
something about it, I am going to be making a very special offer
to you today. If you will help us by making a donation at least
equal to the costs of the materials, to keep this program on the
air, so that we can keep informing our fellow Americans about the
facts that they must know if we are going to restore this nation,
then I will send to you two important books and one cassette tape
that every patriot should read and hear.
I'll send you The Iron Curtain Over America, a 267-page book
by military intelligence officer and fearless patriot John Beaty.
The Iron Curtain Over America exposes in detail the takeover of
American institutions by anti-American and internationalist
forces during the middle years of the twentieth century. No American can
possibly understand our present situation without the historical
background provided by The Iron Curtain Over America.
I'll also send you the masterful America's Decline by the
brilliant writer and classical scholar Dr. Revilo P. Oliver.
America's Decline is a 375-page magisterial analysis of what it
is that has made Americans such easy dupes of their enemies, and
an overview of the patriotic efforts to take this country back.
And finally, I'll also include a cassette tape recording of
Dr. Oliver's outstanding, witty, and informative speech, What We
Owe Our Parasites. This speech will stir you and move you as at
last Dr. Oliver, with inimitable style, removes the blinders from
your eyes so that you can finally see what is being done to you, your
family, and your nation. You will never be the same after
listening to What We Owe Our Parasites.
All of these items - the two books, The Iron Curtain Over
America and America's Decline, and the cassette What We Owe Our
Parasites, are available to you for a minimum donation of $27.40
as our Radio Offer Number 3. This collection is a fine beginning
for any patriot's library shelf. And I'm sure I need not remind you
that you will not find them at your local bookstore. Just send as
much as you can afford to help us stay on the air, a minimum of
$27.40, and ask for Radio Offer Number 3. Write to National
Vanguard Books, Department R, PO Box 90, Hillsboro WV 24946 USA. I'll
repeat that address in a few moments.
Do send for Radio Offer Number 3 today. And until next week, I
urge you to tell your friends and neighbors about this program.
Together, we will rekindle the flickering flame of patriotism in
America and all across our Western world.
