In his opinion, depending on one’s political views, the point of no return has been reached with the NSA spying program, with the release of terrorists from Guantanamo Bay without congressional input, or with the purposeful flood of illegal aliens into the United States.
Because this
administration uses so adroitly the politics of race and class warfare,
Americans are ever more divided and racially polarized. Consequently, our
national security, freedom, and survival are threatened on many fronts.
“Desiring to
control us from inception to death, from womb to tomb,” Savage predicts that
our nation will eventually “snap” from the controlling pressure exercised on
what we do, eat, drink, think, learn, speak, read, and write. (p. 15)
Facing a
constant assault on our “borders, language, and culture,” Savage explains that “we’ve
become a post-Constitutional society,” in the most perilous position since the
1860s, a “culture of statelessness and corruption.” He compares our nation with
a “tinderbox” ready to ignite. In his opinion, the bi-partisan rule from
Washington is based on “greed and hunger for power of a crony oligarchy, not
the rule of law.” (pp. 16-17)
Opining that
the suspension of the filibuster rule by Harry Reid enabled the dismissal of legal
challenges to the (un) Affordable Care Act and the eventual destruction of the
best health care system in the world, Savage laments the fact that the rest of
America seems to live in peace, unperturbed by “subterranean rumblings” caused
by:
-
The
fact that health care has become “the industry of the haves-versus-the-have-nots”
(p. 20)
-
“Hostile
takeover of Americans’ formerly private information” (p. 22)
-
America
is losing its position as the world’s superpower (p. 23)
-
Lack
of patriotism and nationalism (p. 24)
-
Collapse
of the military, the economy, and culture (p. 24)
The “once
righteous and heroic America” is replaced “with a leftist government defined by
immorality and greed.” (p. 31)
A true
patriot and son of a legal immigrant from Russia, Savage wants to put a stop to
the corporate debasement of our “most cherished possession: our pride in our
country.” (p. 31)
War on Culture, Language, and Borders
Savage
describes how the war on our culture, language, and borders evolved from the
liberal “humane” enforcement of immigration laws which released criminal aliens
on our streets. (p. 28)
Illegal
immigrants are not here to chase the American dream, said Savage, they are here
to “game the system” and strip hard-working Americans of their wealth and
establish a fundamentally transformed America that resembles the hell-hole they’ve
escaped. Savage describes the President’s Dreamers as a “living nightmare.” (p.
34)
Savage
explains that the war on our culture, on Christians, on women, on men, on
children, on minorities, and on the rule of law is expanded to include the
introduction of cultural Marxism, a war on morality, allowing and promoting “polymorphous
sexuality” and “hedonism.” (p. 40)
Communist
professor Herbert Marcuse’s 1960s slogan, “Make love, not war,” has become in
our current time, said Savage, “Make love, not money.”
Government
dependency, perennial poverty, metro sexuality, and a distrust of strong males
are “foundational components of leftist values,” Savage explains. Neutralizing the male population and disempowering
the military assure success of the leftist agenda. (p. 43)
Savage
continues, “A strong man is the very emblem of the democratic capitalism’s evil
power.” The war on masculinity is thus justified. (p. 47)
Savage
enumerates some of the agents that contribute to the degradation of our society:
cultural elites, Planned Parenthood, Center for American Progress, Think
Progress, FCC, “researchers” policing our newsrooms, and political leftists opposing
Christians everywhere.
Even though
English is the “official language of the world,” Savage laments politicians who
are “too weak-kneed, to make English the official language of the U.S.” (p. 55)
War on the Military
In his
opinion, the war on our military is waged by a man who “would speak loudly and
carry a limp stick.” Some of Savage’s examples include:
-
VA
denying appointments to veterans in dire need of health care
-
Neutering
our missile defense and military cuts (p. 64)
-
Firing
of generals in wartime, a rare occurrence, Savage said, including those
connected to the “Benghazi murders” (pp. 64-71)
-
Appointing
“handpicked military officers to second-in-command positions” in order to
report on their superiors (p. 72)
-
Lowering
physical standards to help women “succeed” in the name of “equality of sexes”
(p. 79)
War on the Middle Class
Savage, in his inimitable way of connecting the dots of
seemingly unrelated events, compares the current war on the middle class with
the capture by the Union forces of New Orleans, a shipping point for
Confederate forces who helped them fund the war.
Savage sees a parallel between the economy of the Civil War
and today’s economy. Economics and political power played a very important role
in both. Slavery was the “rallying cry” for the Civil War, but economic and
political power was the underlying cause. Savage said that five times as many
wealthy men were found in the North as had been thirty years earlier. The
wealth built in the nineteenth century was based on real manufacturing and
trade. Today two thousand plus billionaires have increased their wealth with
electronic money creation, not something tangible. (p. 104)
Savage aptly describes the stagnant economy as a “trapdoor
economy through which more and more middle class Americans have dropped into
poverty.” (p. 87)
This stagnant economy was created by:
-
Zero
“stimulus” interest rates set by the Fed and disappearing savings (p. 91)
-
13,000
new regulations
-
Robbing
the middle class through taxation to bail out the “biggest and most corrupt
banks in the world” (p. 88)
-
Fed’s
quantitative easings, “nothing short of robbery,” printing $4 trillion dollars
backed by a “hollow full faith and credit” in government, a sort of “Confederate
counterfeit money” (pp. 90-93)
Savage
explains how seventy percent of U.S. stock market trading is rigged by allowing
robots to do high-frequency trading in nanno-seconds, permitting market
manipulation and centralization of wealth. (p. 97)
America is
now a permanent welfare state and poverty is at an all-time high. Raising the
minimum wage will exacerbate poverty and increase welfare recipients, while the
winner, JPMorgan Chase, will benefit $560 million by processing Electronic
Benefit Transfer cards (p. 102)
The middle
class is adversely affected by the excessively printed and devalued dollar and the
loss of its role as “reserve currency” and “petro dollar.”
The middle
class is plagued by an increasing misery index, a decreasing freedom index,
rising food and energy prices, the Pope’s war on free markets and capitalism,
and prioritizing climate change politics over job creation.
War on Medicine
Savage talks
about the war on medicine, unleashed by Obamacare, a Castro style medicine
provided by government-controlled, single payer care like Venezuela. Green
Mountain Care in Vermont makes a good example of a single payer system that
spends $2 billion a year on health care, the entire tax revenue of the State of
Vermont, a behemoth that lawmakers want to repeal. (p. 118)
Savage
points out that Obamacare is so ill-conceived, non-generic drugs are not
covered. Generic drug prices will go up as demand will go up. When less people
will afford generic drugs, pharmacies will go broke. Healthy people will enjoy
free annual visits. Sick people with cancer should put their affairs in order. (p.
123)
War on Civil Rights
Savage says
that the war on civil rights includes attacks and bans on gun ownership,
benefits to illegal aliens, irrelevance of the rule of law because of excessive
regulations and executive orders, DOJ’s denial of civil rights to whites,
auditing of conservative groups and people such as True the Vote and James O’Keefe,
auditing of whistle blowers, and lack of convictions for white collar crimes.
(pp. 162-163)
War on Science
The war on
science centers on climate change. Savage devotes chapter 8 to the global
warming debacle, focusing on some of the individual players in the ongoing
deception.
-
Ottmar
Edenhofer admitted that “global warming is nothing more than a political issue” that “undermines the ‘science’
that the left invented to justify global warming” (p. 182)
-
Christina
Figueres, “the climate change chief of the U.N.” thinks that China is “the
ideal model for government’s role in fighting climate change (p. 183)
-
Al
Gore - Savage calls him “the global warming debate team captain” (p. 184)
Calling the
EPA, “the Environmental Pilferage Agency, Savage describes it as one of the
most corrupt agencies in modern American history, … its only rival is the IRS.”
(p. 188)
The real
cost of our climate change policy, Savage says, is the cost of expensive and
bankrupt solar and wind energy, animal and bird casualties, huge cost of
conversion, subsidies, and damage to human health.
Fracking is
a success story. Energy production has been hindered by Obama’s non-approval of
the XL Keystone pipeline from Canada.
Savage
explains solar flares and volcanic activity in relationship to climate change.
The NASA and NOAA reports were described by the MIT scientists as sinking to
the level of “hilarious incoherence.” (p. 199)
War on Schools
The war on
schools is the war to dumb down our students with the standards of Common Core.
Savage talks about “outcome based education” developed in Chicago and the
college textbook publishing which has “degenerated into a racket.” (p. 206)
Savage criticizes
the fact that “Colleges foster the physical separation of people into racial,
ethnic, and cultural groups, a purposeful result.” (p. 211)
At some
point, the education bubble of $1 trillion, “thirty-three percent of all ‘subprime
student loans’ are more than 90 days overdue,” is going to burst. (p. 212)
Graduates
with worthless degrees, “parroting leftist platitudes,” can only find minimum
wage jobs for which they are overqualified,” said Savage. (p. 213)
Savage sees
the “brick and mortar universities as “debt-ridden gulags of biased,
agenda-driven indoctrination.” (p. 213)
Savage
believes that schools indoctrinate students into leftist thinking and “separate
the youth of our nation from their parents and other Americans who grew up when
the Constitution meant something.” (p. 221)
War on Our Allies
The war on
our allies chapter explains the “Arab Winter,” the situation in Libya, Syria,
Israel, the reality in Ukraine, and how our foreign policy of supporting
radical factions in Ukraine that overthrew a duly elected president, has
re-ignited the Cold War with Putin’s Russia. Savage succinctly colors the
chaotic political situation with a masterful stroke, “We’re seeing American
foreign policy at its nadir.” (p. 249)
Savage, a
student of history and occasionally a mythological Cassandra, ends his book
with incisive advice acquired from experience during his twenty years on radio,
in-depth research, scholarly endeavors, 28 books, advanced degrees, a doctorate
from Berkeley, and an uncanny ability to see and articulate the truth with
clarity in a world drowning in deception and misinformation. “We are the
equivalent of the anticommunists who fought Stalin,” he said. (p. 251)
As he sees
it, the lines have been drawn in the sand:
-
“The
haves against the have-nots”
-
“The
illegal aliens against hard-working middle-class families”
-
“Liberals
who hate the Second Amendment versus lawful gun owners…”
-
Climate militants against “deniers”
-
“Anti-Christian
communist educators against God-fearing families”
-
“Republicans
against patriots” (p. 252)
We are
becoming global citizens of a global community which is nothing but global
communism. “We are becoming the Union of Soviet States of America: the USSA,”
Savage warns.
Michael
Savage’s book is a documented caveat and a strong plea, a wake-up call to the
American people before the 2014 elections, our last chance to right the Ship of
State.
