We struggle in this current condition to find the truth and meaning of things worth believing in. Daily we are bombarded by a variety of half truths, outright lies and disinformation from sources at every turn.
Our government, the media, business and our entertainment industry; once trusted and unbiased has over the last several decades realized their power to influence. A long standing premise in psychology touts that the human mind cannot distinguish between what is real and what is repeatedly and vividly imagined.
From this simple idea, successful ad campaigns, political contests and countless other enterprises have been launched. The great strategist Sun Tzu so believed in this principle that in his treatise the art of war, he listed it as a key and central step in the process toward victory.
The casualty of this trend is of course -Truth. In the absence of truth, we languish; confused and unbalanced, seeking some island of support to anchor us. So in such a dilemma, where do we turn for that point of foundation?
Let us consider those things which our fathers considered important and worth. That honor, courage and virtue mean everything. That character, integrity are treasures most valued and sought after.
These things do not age, they do not diminish, and they are eternal and immutable. Let us hold fast to those former things and keep them close in our hearts. Let us act to restore them to our Nation.

More of us need to re aquaint ourselves with books . I'm 2/3 thru reading Pat Buchanan's Death of a Superpower . It's very revealng of the truth of what is happening and will enable one to be an accurate prophet of the future if human conciousness isn't changed . America has been severely wounded and on life support it's very doubtful that she will live .
