Bye-Bye, Miss American Pie (Wake Up, My Beloved, Or Die)

"This is who we are. …today, Western Civilization is under siege. …under attack from Radical Islam – that’s the War on Terrorism. We are under attack from those within the US itself who seek to destroy our traditional culture and our moral values – from those who believe the State is more important than the family or the individual. And we ourselves are acting in a way that will leave our children with a bleak economic future."
That's a quote from the website of Herb Meyer's fast taking off DVD, The Siege of Western Civilization.

If you are like me, you follow with concern what is going on in our country, the threats to its security from outside and inside, its economy, the crassness of Hollywood, the duplicity of mainstream media, the ACLU's opposition to anything that is good, God-ly and American, the shocking infantility of liberalism, the lameness and stupidity of public education.

If you are like me, you are nauseated by TV talking heads in yelling matches and media bias and would like to be addressed with some respect and expectation of arriving at solutions.

If so, as you will find its website promising, this 42-minute international bestseller of a documentary is for you.

Vasko Kohlmayer of the American Thinker says in his review of the DVD today:
Isolating three currents that are undercutting the foundation of our civilization, Mr. Meyer traces their origins and explains their insidiousness. You may be surprised to learn…only one of them is external…the other two have their roots within. Each one has the potential to bring us down on its own, but their combined force can only have one result. Mr. Meyer’s explanation of how this would happen is as cogent as it is sobering.
Back in 1982, while serving as Special Assistant to the Director of Central Intelligence and Vice Chairman of the National Intelligence Council, Herb Meyer was first on record predicting the demise of the Soviet Union. Most high-level US officials shied away from such pronouncements given the seeming formidability of the “Iron Curtain” at the time. Needless to say, Herb Meyer’s assessment was treated with unbelief and criticism.

History showed he was right.

Someone who has worked hands on with information that carried influence in directions that nations take, and who has proven himself to be keen in tying this knowledge together to make vitally relevant observations, deserves our utmost consideration.

Ignore Herb Meyer at your own risk.
