Over 300 socialist federations now rule the world. They gather at the United Nations HQ in NYC to supervise and direct the entire human race. Their triumph can best be measured as a religious one. Though comprised mainly of atheists and agnostics, the congregation of socialist federations is united in a spiritual zeal that eclipses its considerable intellectual force.
With its leadership best described by Voltaire as "enlightened despotism," the socialists have taken their credentials in secular humanism into spiritual realms. They can only be viewed in metaphysical terms. Their triumph has eclipsed all other institutionalized faiths and/or tyrannies. From Alexander the Great to the Roman Catholic Church at its zenith, the Church of the Socialist Federations (or CTSF), will never again be surpassed in terms of earthly domination. Over six billion people live beneath the weight of this Church's power.
When viewed metaphysically, the advent of this phenomenon can be traced back to pre-Christian mythology and every fable of sibling rivalry ever conceived. When understood as the culminating exploitation of every major, human impulse toward jealousy, rage and vengeful resentment, the success of CTSF should come as no surprise. No other proven human energy field -- not even the all-too-brief experiment with democracy -- can overcome CTSF's harnessing of such primal instincts. They are a force majeure within the human heart and the backbone of every "people's" revolutionary movement -- from Maximilien Robespierre, Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin, to the present-day adventures of socialist federations in Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America. Beneath the avowed promise of "equality" lurks the real power and passions of jealousy, rage and vengeance.
The congregation of CTSF awaits the primal vindication of three vast and angry corners of humanity: the Third World, labor and women. By unrelentingly giving these three oceans of humanity the appearance of increasing empowerment over their "enemies" -- wealth, privilege and entitlement --, the entitled of CTSF have elevated themselves to a cynically pastoral share in the most powerful Church on earth. They sit upon a dragon. The unquenchable thirst within it cannot help but revive and reconstruct the bloody outcome recorded in the French Revolution. There will, undoubtedly, be a falling out among socialist thieves. Unfortunately, the means of capital punishment will not be a guillotine. It will be atomic weapons.
The Church leadership, knowing the insatiable force at the heart of its congregation, realizes that a Third World War is inevitable for many reasons.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger convinced President Richard Milhous Nixon, in no uncertain terms, that the conservative, domestic battles with worldwide socialism were doomed to failure. He basically informed the President that money's battle with power -- particularly a virulent, spiritually-based power such as the CTSF -- is doomed to failure. The question would not be whether a One-World Socialist Federation could evolve or not, but who would run it: Washington, Beijing or Moscow. Instantly, President Nixon discarded any domestic resistance to an increasingly bloated federal budget and concentrated on the very deadly game of realpolitik.
President Ronald Reagan, despite his disclaimers, adopted the same strategy. Debt is the cement that seals socialism. Because of his arms race with the Soviet Union, Reagan doubled America's debt within eight years, forcing his successor, George Bush (Senior), to raise taxes.
Reagan adopted the same position as Nixon with regard to Beijing and Moscow, only more so - "Whatever you're creating in the way of world domination, America is going to run it." Bush even labelled it Pax Americana, recalling the Pax Romana of Octavius Caesar, who quite successfully had eliminated his competitors, Marc Antony and Pompeii, so he might rule unchallenged.
In capitulating to the utopian vision of a united human race under one governing, socialist federation, the North American conservatives -- both in the United States and Canada -- began to "cut a deal" with the CTSF. Red Tories in Canada (such as Brian Mulroney) and accommodating Republicans (such as the entire Bush family) began to carve out their share of participation in the CTSF's undeniable and overwhelming power.
Trading the offices of President and Prime Minister back and forth, the merging forces of corporate money and CTSF power could successfully manage the world, while still giving the North American people the illusion of democracy and a two-party system. Green Party leader Ralph Nader has begun to see his former utopian friends as "sell-outs."
Karl Marx predicted that socialism and capitalism would merge, to the ultimate demise of capitalism. The arbiter of that extraordinary merger was [and still is] former President William Jefferson Clinton.
In one of his final appearances as President, Clinton walked through a village in Nigeria -- a socialist federation --, bedecked in the robes of an African king. The theatrical symbolism was unmistakable: a saviour now walked the earth.
Clinton is vastly more powerful as a private citizen than he ever was as President. He moves unfettered and unobstructed in his mission as principal advisor to the CTSF.
To Christians, he is a disturbingly powerful liberation theologian, not unlike Pierre Trudeau in Canada. To socialists, Clinton is Christ-like. Viewed metaphysically, he now embodies a power that exceeds that of any pope in the history of the Catholic Church.
President George W. Bush is trapped in an ambush he can't possibly extricate himself from. Correctly analyzed by CTSF psychologists as addicted to the fortunes of oil, he can be given the full treatment that CTSF has in store for him. As stocks steadily drop, unemployment rises and oil prices -- actually controlled by CTSF's Hugo Chavez of Venezuela -- are impacting American voters quite severely.
Red China is baiting 'Dubya'. His instinctive impulses to talk big and (above all) protect the American oil industry, will so disenchant American citizens that his ultimate record, after only four years in office, may surpass the humiliation of Herbert Hoover. To wit: Many nails in the coffin of the earth's last conservative to hold a major public office.
In the battle between power and money, power wins every time.
How will this unholy marriage lead to a Third World War? The combatants are American members of the CTSF versus Chinese chairmen within the same faith, versus the still-extant Russian Politburo.
Who's going to run the peace?
As opposed to the condition of peace during the Cold War, the clear, distinctively defining lines of free-market capitalism versus communism no longer exist. In the illusion of spiritual consensus, the CTSF will break up into divisions as certainly as Christianity has. Roman Catholic versus Greek and Russian Orthodox, versus the Protestant Reformation, all culminating in the insanity of present-day Ireland, where Christians of differing sects beat, maim, torture and execute in the name of the same, profoundly non-violent Lord our God.
There have been no vows of non-violence in the fundamentalist, communist arm of CTSF. "Any means to an end" has led to an awesome body count among socialist federations. The world may think of Adolf Hitler as a mad "right-winger," but the horse he rode in on, and dominated Europe with, was a socialist federation.
German National Socialism: 10 million dead from the Second World War. Russian National Socialism: 80 million dead from Joseph Stalin's purge. Chinese National Socialism: 30 million dead of starvation from Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward. Cambodian National Socialism: at least two million dead from Pol Pot's agrarian reform.
Add to this total figure of over 120 million dead in less than 70 years the recent instances of "genocide" within African socialist federations - 800,000 in Rwanda alone where the UN's protective army, when needed, was nowhere to be found.
The CTSF's think-tank -- urged on by the likes of intellectuals such as Kissinger -- have "story-boarded" numerous probabilities. The first, of course, is "what does the world government do in the face of a nuclear holocaust?" That, it appears, has been deeply anticipated, both by the UN and the U.S., jointly. Between UN forces and America's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an informal agreement has been struck. However, Kissinger, in one of his more remarkable appearances before what I now call a CTSF think-tank, remarked that at some point, Americans would welcome UN forces to police them in such an emergency.
The megadeath calculations from a Third World War are, of course, in the billions. Looking past that, the CTSF sees an opportunity to tighten its grip on the human race. Dazed from the shock of such a holocaust, humanity will be in no condition to resist. Many will, indeed, welcome both FEMA and UN troops.
It will fulfil the prophecy of all CTSF hard-liners: a socialist democracy is a contradiction in terms. One such member of a Cameroon Non-Governmental Organization within the UN, stated unequivocally that the "enemy is individual freedom."
Ironically, World War III will prove just the beginning of the nightmare. With atomic fallout and an iron-grip tyranny, most of the human race, particularly in what is left of the so-called Free World, will find little to remind them of North American freedom.
To end the work of over 2,000 years of history would necessitate a cataclysmic shock of atomic proportions. As absurd as the goal may sound, Marx set that goal line in the middle of the 19th Century. With religious faith of any kind condemned as "an opiate of the people" to be utterly eliminated, Marx unleashed a doctrine so appealing to the revolutionary rage that within less than 200 years, the CTSF is in a position to revise all of recorded history-and indeed to eliminate all trace of it.
While the CTSF's reform and orthodox arm -- the liberals and the avowed socialists -- feel confident that an interdenominational World War III can be avoided, the radical fundamentalists -- the communists -- are awaiting the inevitable fruition of a faith which, as the hard-liners know best, was built on rage, vindication and vengeance.
In the end, hard-liner, conservative, "law-and-order" types could join hands with the military arm of CTSF and plunge the world into a new and strictly enforced Dark Age. The first thing that will be banned, of course, is any "unauthorized" access to what is left of the Internet. What resistance there is to this war of the CTSF against the entire Judeo-Christian civilization can only be found on the Information Highway.
"Control the artists and you eventually control the entire human race."
Stalin knew that to control the theatre of war, you win the war by controlling events. You must, in short, make sure the tail is going to Wag the Dog. It was an artist -- David Mamet, the author of that screenplay -- who revealed the power behind such an extraordinary strategy. Veiling the message in what appeared to be a "behind-the-scenes" slap at Hollywood machinations, Mamet was really opening the guts of what the human race is subjected to during the Six O'clock News.
During the 1990s, Hollywood began to slowly rise out of a three-decade-long occupation and virtual control by CTSF artists. Now facing a two-pronged assault by the very forces it helped to empower, the striking entertainment unions and the "anti-violence" Democratic Party, Hollywood is waking up to the menace, but utterly unsure where to go.
Not being the least bit inclined to form any kind of religion, Hollywood must settle for haphazard efforts to counter the "revolution." Neither political positions, nor the ethic of entertainment's obligation to be anything but boring can stop CTSF's progress toward world domination.
The obvious edge the Free World holds over CTSF is that none of that Church's literal playwrights and screenwriters approach the genius of William Shakespeare, the greatest literary fruit on the tree of the Judeo-Christian civilization. Most of the Marxist agit-prop authors -- Bertolt Brecht, Clifford Odets and [more recently] Trevor Griffiths, who co-wrote Reds with Warren Beatty -- can't hold a candle to even the most neglected of Free World authors. Even the CTSF's efforts to portray Shakespeare's Henry V as an anti-war play have failed. Shakespeare's unequivocal position was that war is inevitable when evil rules.
Unfortunately, the theatre that the CTSF produces involves real people with real lives to live, real nerve endings to torture and real blood to shed. Hitler and his staged Reichstag fire is being replayed in socialist federations, where the government bombs its own citizens and buildings in order to blame its supposed enemies.
