Reviewing books, articles, and podcasts, Toward Freedom From Want attempts to bring focus on truth through a sea of deception and distraction. Having school-age children of my own, I share some of my educational strategies.
Inspired by history’s thread weavers and whistleblowers: Fehmi Krasniqi, Henry C. Carey, Mathew Carey, Anton Chaitkin, Cynthia Chung, Mathew Crawford, Matthew Ehret, Jim Garrison, John Taylor Gatto, Aaron Good, Leonard Horowitz, Robert Ingraham, Alex Krainer, Lyndon H. LaRouche, H. Graham Lowry, David McGowan, Caroll Quigley, L. Fletcher Prouty, Elliott Roosevelt, W. Allen Salisbury, Keith Harmon Snow, Nancy Bradeen Spannaus, Paul L. Williams, Amos N. Wilson & others pictured. We’ve allowed crucial defenders of our Republic and key events in our history to be forgotten while we celebrate some villains and frauds.
The deep state is not American, but it’s nearly succeeded in getting us to forget our identity. Henry C Carey, leading economic advisor to Abraham Lincoln, made our identity and the alternative crystal clear in 1851:
“Two systems are before the world; the one looks to increasing the proportion of persons and of capital engaged in trade and transportation, and therefore to diminishing the proportion engaged in producing commodities with which to trade, with necessarily diminished return to the labor of all; while the other looks to increasing the proportion engaged in the work of production, and diminishing that engaged in trade and transportation, with increased return to all, giving to the laborer good wages, and to the owner of capital good profits… One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other in increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.” - Harmony of Interests (1851)
In 1942, Henry Wallace addressed the people of the world in his Four Freedoms Speech. He counted on the freedom fighter’s side the citizens of America, France, Latin America, Germany, and Russia who had fought battles “toward manifesting here on Earth the dignity that is in each human soul”. Wallace identified the Four Freedoms “annunciated” by Franklin D. Roosevelt as human rights which must be inalienable: Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Expression, Freedom from the Fear of Secret Police, Freedom From Want For The Average Man. Wallace continued:
“The Revolution of the past 150 years has not been completed: neither here in the United States, or in any other Nation in the World. We know that this Revolution cannot stop until Freedom From Want has been attained.” - Henry Wallace's Four Freedoms Speech (1942)
America did not move in the way that FDR or Henry Wallace had planned; a fact FDR’s son Elliott makes clear in As He Saw It: The Story of the World Conferences of FDR.
Colonel(retired) Fletcher Prouty reported in 1973 that the war over control of America’s identity was still being waged, but that the window of opportunity is closing:
“…less than six months after the end of World War II, the battle lines for a major internal war had been drawn. Most of the problems and the failures of the past twenty-five years can be attributed directly to inadequate and improper decisions made during these struggles within the Government during this immediate postwar period and to the impact they have had upon the welfare of this country since that time. On one side were the traditional experienced planners who believed in the power of this great nation, all who felt that our future course lay in the increase of our own strength and of the beneficent impact of this strength upon the rest of the world. These men believed in the American way of life and in the ability of our economy to cope with world competition and of American diplomacy to plan our course of action wisely and to carry out effective national policy. They further believed in the capabilities of American military might to back up our diplomats and businessmen. To put it bluntly, these men were not afraid of the Communist bogeyman. They respected Communism for what it was, and they respected the power and strength of the Russian people. At the same time, they were willing and ready to plan for a common world future and an undivided world at peace.
The other side, however, wished to create a sort of Maginot Line of intelligence people around the world, separating the Communist world from the Free World. Then they would peer out at the rest of the world through a veil of secrecy plugged in to data inputs of the intelligence gathering sources wherever they were and supported by a military machine in a defense posture, ready for ‘reaction’ at all times. In essence, this latter point of view of foreign policy operations is passive and reactive, implemented not by plan but only by response to the initiatives of others… Although Allen Dulles does not say it in his book, his concept of Intelligence is about 10 percent real Intelligence and 90 percent clandestine operations. In other words, he would have us busy all around the world all of the time countering ‘ all aspects of the invisible war.’ By this he means intervening in the internal affairs of other nations with or without their knowledge and permission…” - The Secret Team (published 1973)
The fact that we’ve defeated globalists in darker times, has been obscured by those same globalists. We can defeat them again. We have to relearn who we are and teach others.
Take heart, God loves us all.
