​In desperate need of resources and capital to mobilize Great Britain for the war effort, Churchill pleaded with FDR to join the fight against the Nazis for the sake of Western civilization. Roosevelt humiliated the British Prime Minster and denied his request.  Thousands of British and French soldiers lost their lives as a result.

FDR was beholden to the elite. The upper crust of American society pandered to Roosevelt so they could bleed the middle class dry during the Great Depression. He and his administration were aligned with a legion of vultures: nihilists backed by big tobacco and gambling syndicates, as well as a consortium of Wall Street robber barons.

Together, FDR and his cronies altered the landscape of the American experience. They birthed the welfare state and gave rise to corporatocracy. They forsook many of our God-given rights to line their own pockets and solidify their oligarchy.

It was a short-sighted scheme. The house of cards they established has been in state of collapse since the end of the Cold War. In the time since, remnants of their oligarchy have covertly sold  our nation out to the People's Republic of China as well as interests controlled  by the Bilderberg syndicate.
 
​Have I Not Told You
Our public education systems would have you believe that Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party were the root of all the evil that gave rise to the Second World War. The wool has been pulled over your eyes if you truly believe this.

​World War II was in fact a Holy Crusade of sorts. A battle against an unholy two-headed hydra manipulated by  God's true enemy. That hydra is commonly known as Marxism.

The seeds of the Second World War were planted at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 when the Treaty of Versailles was ratified. Our Allied representatives allowed their own wrath to get the better of them. They closed the table to their defeated foes. Germany was locked out of the negotiations and forced to accept the terms of the treaty unconditionally.

Additionally, the unholy Communist threat manifesting within the Soviet Union was largely ignored at the Paris Conference as were the growing nationalist movements in the Far East. Both omissions proved fatal after the terms of the treaty were set into stone.

Throughout the Roaring Twenties, the Western Allied powers celebrated excessively as Germany and much of Europe destabilized, Japan militarized, and China engaged in a civil war. The general malaise of that period laid the groundwork for the Second World War and set the stage for the political upheavals we are presently witnessing across Western civilization today.

Sewing the Seeds of Wrath
Allied representatives burdened Germany with costly reparations at the Paris Peace Conference. The newly formed Weimar Republic was required to repay the debt the Allied powers had incurred to defeat the Axis. The treaty also limited Germany's future military production. And with the specter of communism rapidly advancing out of the Soviet Union, this posed a serious threat to the safety and security of the German people.

Before World War I, Germany’s industrial system was a bedrock of the global economy. After the war, it simply could not function. Factories were shuttered, banks foreclosed on loans, and transportation stalled.  As a result, Germany's unemployment skyrocketed. This had a ripple effect on economies all throughout Europe.

Men across the continent were stripped of their dignity and their hope. They took to the streets largely because they could not afford to feed their families. Poverty and hunger sparked political uprisings throughout most of Europe; and Satanic political ideologies began to take root outside Soviet Russia. Born from the infantile minds of privileged children who’d gathered in Vienna in the 1880's, Marxism bore fruit all over the continent and quickly spread across the globe.

Sensing that a second global conflict was inevitable, moneylenders drew wise to the volatile situation and hedged their lending. In parallel, unscrupulous speculators stockpiled precious materials and tilted the markets in their favor. This triggered what is known today as the Great Depression.
​
Burgeoning Marxist movements metastasized throughout Europe during this period: most notably in Russia, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Adolph Hitler’s National Socialist Democratic Party was among them.
 
The Austrian-born Hitler was of Jewish heritage. He resented his father and found Marxist economic theories appealing. That said, he despised Communist leadership principles and abhorred religion. In league with the devil, he set about to transform Germany and all of Europe under an authoritarian dictatorship guided by Marxist economic principles​.

The battle between the Bolshevik and Menshevik factions within the Russian Empire during the First World War gave birth to another insidious Marxist movement. That maniacal struggle unseated Tzar Nicholas II; and the Bolshevik's victory produced the Soviet Communist Party under Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky's leadership

After Lenin passed away in 1924, the U.S.S.R. endured a bloody reign of terror under Joseph Stalin that cost an estimated 20MM Eastern Europeans their lives. The genocide Stalin, his lieutenants, and their reign of successors committed nearly destroyed the soul of the Russian people and much of Eastern Europe's as well.
 
Pope On The Ropes
After the Nazi regime successfully toppled the Weimar puppet state in 1933, shylocks within the German Gestapo began to undermine banking efforts around the globe in order to generate wealth and resources for the Third Reich's ascension.

Once Krushchev laid down the gauntlet with the West, the Vatican reaffirmed their commitment with the Communists and set their sights on China. They began divesting their North American and European interests; and ramped up investment in Asia and the Pacific Isles.
​
I Tell You the Truth
Unless we swiftly return to our Biblical foundations, the bedrock of Eden will soon go dark for non-believers and false Christians alike. Satan has planted roots within the People's Republic of China, and that regime is preparing for war with the West.
 
They have already begun a campaign to compromise corporate executives, media icons, civil servants, and elected public officials with loose moral values through bribery, extortion and corruption. Additionally, they spend billions of dollars every year on political propaganda and misinformation campaigns to sow dissension and discord amongst our citizenries.
 
Their efforts are paying off. Marxist movements of the fascist variety are budding throughout Western Europe, the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand. And in the Americas, there is a growing Communist insurgency as well.

Like 1920s Europe, the two-headed hydra of communism and fascism is resurfacing. And with no end in sight to the growing inflationary pressures throughout the world, a second Great Depression is certain. Armageddon will follow when this happens.

Given our rising geopolitical tensions with China and the Bilderberg syndicate's deliberate attempts to dismantle our Constitutional Republic, the time has come to rid ourselves of fear and cast light on the people and institutions that threaten the very fabric of our civilization.
 
Like Daniel, it’s time for the faithful to enter the Lion’s den. We must confront the purveyors of evil within our civilization and hold them to the fire. We need also hold our corrupt corporate executives, media icons, public servants, and elected officials to account for their moral turpitude. Otherwise, we will be doomed to a dystopian future similar to the one George Orwell described in his  novel 1984.
 
The political divide within our nation and much of the Western world is symptomatic of our moral decay. Marxist ideologues leverage our weakness to lull us to sleep; and prey upon our ignorance to stoke irrational fears.
 
Since time immemorial, despotic rulers have understood the power of fear. Fear breeds dependency and distracts us from fulfilling our role in God's plan. A fearful population is easily manipulated, quickly divided and painless to conquer. As Benjamin Franklin once remarked: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Like sheep among the wolves, they are led to the slaughter.


A Clarion Call
May Our lord and savior Jesus Christ bless you and keep you as you decide your place in history: eternal life for those who welcome Him; or eternal damnation for those who refuse to bow down before Him upon Judgment Day. His will shall prevail during the trying times ahead.

“The public library system of the United States is worth preserving.”
---Henry Rollins (American Musician)
 
Up front, we want to make one thing perfectly clear: we are NOT in favor of nationalizing our primary schools nor our secondary educational institutions. Under our Constitution, these matters reside with our state and local governments; and we believe that it should remain that way. Nevertheless, it would be foolish or naive to ignore that the fabric of American education is changing dramatically during the digital revolution.

Take a look at the numbers. The education market in the United States has grown dramatically since the advent of the Internet and it's only expected to grow more over the next several years. In short: the ED hasn't kept pace with the changes; and it’s time we recognize the cultural shift that's occurring as a result. In other words, we ought to re-engineer and re-tool our educational systems; and we ought to act quickly!


THE STARTING POINT
The amount of information available today to the public over the world wide web is unprecedented in our history. Concurrently, the information age has spawned a number of innovations in the field of education. Among the most sweeping changes in primary and secondary research:

1. Search Engines have effectively replaced the traditional library “Card Catalog” - as well as librarians for the most part.
2. Wiki sites have become our society's primary encyclopedias.
3. A plethora of dictionaries, thesauruses and other reference tools are currently available at a moment's notice over the web and through digital distribution platforms.

When you take a step back and look at the big picture, it's evident that how and where we learn in this era is much different than it was before. This led us to ask the following questions: 

• Aren’t the tools and resources described above the very foundations of a public library system?  If so, why are corporations and select non-profits the principal gate-keepers of vital strategic resources like these? Does the current situation pose national security risks? 
• If guarding, growing and enhancing these resources is crucial for our nation, then shouldn’t our federal government step in and assert some span of control?
• If both are true, then when, where, and to what degree should the federal government be involved?

These are the fundamental questions we’ll address in this article. We’ll argue that Americans need to fully understand and quickly accept the fact that educational tools like Google, Wikipedia, and the Dictionary.com’s of the world all serve the public interest and ought to be nationalized to some degree. In other words, a complete re-tooling of our Department of Education is long overdue.
 

AS SIMPLE AS 1,2,3
Here’s where we’d start:

1. A search engine, an encyclopedia, and other reference tools (e.g. a dictionary and a thesaurus) ought to be considered part of our national library system.
2. It makes sense for Google & Wikipedia to become public utilities (similar to AT&T way back when),  or whole parts of the ED as soon as possible.
3. Still allow for competition within these categories through private enterprise.

The proposed system would re-tool the Department of Education; and also support crucial National Security and Defense initiatives.  We’ll explain what we mean as you read on:  
 

MOST OF US NOW CARRY A “POCKET LIBRARY”
Like 77% of all Americans, I own a smartphone; and I often download and access useful apps for personal education, writing and research purposes. The apps on my device include a couple of different Search Engines (Google and Bing), a global encyclopedia (Wikipedia), a dictionary and a thesaurus (my preferred version is Merriam-Webster), as well as a multitude of other small reference tools (e.g. area code lookups and zip code lookups, etc.).

If you were born after 1989, these things probably seem natural.  However, for those of us who are older, the Internet revolutionized access to libraries of information as well as primary and secondary research tools. Imagine: before the 1990's, people actually had to travel (by automobile or by foot) to a library to access a wide body of research materials if they weren’t fortunate enough to own them themselves. Furthermore, if their research requirements were extensive, they often had to travel to multiple locations to complete their research! 

Research tools and materials are vital necessities for individuals with an entrepreneurial mindset: people who wish to invest time and energy in determining their own futures. Nearly every entrepreneur and investor will tell you that if you want to gain advantages over your competition, you need to excel in school and continuously strive for personal growth. In other words, you spend a great deal of time in library facilities.

Any way you look at it, a public library is about education, growth. and learning. It’s a core extension of our public education system. As Campbell Brown of Facebook notes, “It comes down to what your priorities are, and if public education is about children and learning. It’s a core extension of the public education system. As kids, then every decision we make should be focused on the question of 'Is this good for a child?' And that should be the driving focus and the priority when we decide what our policies should be and what our laws should be.”

(Keep in mind that we are all considered children in eyes of our Creator to a certain degree regardless of our age...)

Currently, we have libraries in our public school systems for our children from grades K-12; and reference materials are of course vital to those systems. Ask any teacher, and they’ll definitively tell you that high-caliber tools facilitate quality education. So then, why aren't the tools in our "pocket library" considered an extension of our public education system, if public libraries in fact are?

It boils down to this: some of the tools within our aggregate pocket library must be integrated into the ED in order to effectively manage public education in the United States today. Otherwise, we may put the American way of life at risk as things currently stand.


A CASE FOR NATIONALIZING OUR POCKET LIBRARY
Is it in our best interests to have all our digital research tools developed, managed and updated by private corporations and select non-profits? The answer is unequivocally NO!

Of course, Innovation, entrepreneurship and creativity are the driving factors behind the success of the corporations that maintain our "pocket library" (Google and Microsoft as well as the Wikimedia Foundation and others).  For example, Google launched in 1996 as a research project by PhD students at Stanford University. Two years later, the company received a $100,000 angel investment; and away it went!

Nevertheless, Google has received a great deal of scrutiny and criticism recently from conservative & libertarian political pundits and conservative economists; as well as from radical leftist ideologues like Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

on the right side of the political spectrum, Conservative and Libertarian political pundits accuse the tech monolith of down-ranking sites and pages that don’t align with corporate’s political positions, thereby suppressing free speech. The concerns of the conservative economists are largely geopolitical in nature. For example, Google has agreed to build a censored version of their search engine for communist China. Both sets of concerns suggest that Google deliberately stifles competition and suppresses the very principles that led to the company’s founding: entrepreneurship and innovation!

On the other hand, far-left zealots have seized upon these factors to push forth visions of an impossible socialist utopia. For example, Sanders (a self-proclaimed "Democratic Socialist” demagogue) contends: “You go to your public library, or you call your fire department or police department, what do you think you are calling? These are socialist institutions.”

To be blunt, Senator Sanders full of crap. The police, the fire department and the public library ARE NOT socialist institutions.  Rather, they’re public resources; and there’s are HUGE differences between the two!


BERNIE SANDERS MAY BE MISGUIDED... BUT HE DOES HAVE A POINT
Several of the tools we've listed (i.e. search engines, dictionaries and encyclopedias) and are in-fact primary and secondary research staples used in libraries the world over.  However, unlike brick and mortar libraries, the information available within our "Pocket Library" is decentralized, poorly curated and loosely maintained at the present time. 

For example, a dictionary reference tool now often appears in Google's search results when you include the word “definition” with a search term. That said, the word inclusion criteria (and definitions) appear to be determined by Google itself!

This should concern anyone who believes in the American Dream. If you look under the surface, you'll find that terms like Fascism were completely omitted from Google's dictionary tool last year after the Daily Caller questioned the definition that Google supplied.

Perhaps even more disturbing, Google has now integrated a feedback tool to report “wrong and offensive” definitions; quite possibly modifying or altering definitions on a day-to-day basis in most extreme cases.

Google currently dominates the search industry. Coupling search with a dictionary and thesaurus in effect makes Google (and the semi-anonymous voting body that supplies feedback on word acceptance) the principle arbiters of English, Spanish and a multitude of other human languages!

We must question whether it’s reasonable and prudent to allow companies like Google and non-profits like Wikimedia such enormous sway over the literacy and education of the American public! It seems to us that leverage these monoliths have over our society could in-fact fuel Fascism; very word Google omitted from their dictionary back in 2017!


THIS IS A NO-BRAINER
Clearly, the "Pocket Library" we’ve discussed here is vital to our national interests. In-fact, you could say that it’s a national treasure of sorts: Young and old men and women of varying backgrounds and ethnic persuasions scour their "Pocket Libraries" daily seeking to educate themselves, better their lives and expand their horizons.

When it comes to the tools and resources in our "Pocket Library" we need to ensure there's a level playing field.  We must ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information available to the public, preserve our national heritage and cultivate advancements that strengthen our society.

So, why not:

1. Nationalize some of the tools and materials that comprise our aggregate Pocket Library?
2. Create a repository under one branch of the federal government, where the library's tools and resources can be effectively curated, expanded and protected?

For the reasons we've described, both these ideas make clear sense to us.
​

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's socialist ideals are in-fact Utopian fantasies. They're a means to an apocalyptic end for American free enterprise, free speech and free expression. We’re not proposing an end to the free market in the case we've presented. Instead, we’re talking about centralizing a core set of vital public services; just like the United States postal service does for mail and package delivery. Not the whole enchilada mind you; just the meaty part of it.

We also argue that setting up such a service will lead to a much fairer competitive environment and open the door for a wide array of entrepreneurial business ventures within the affected industry categories. You only need look at the success of shipping companies like Federal Express, UPS and DHL to realize that opportunity will eventually open up in this space if the federal government steps in and asserts a degree of authority.

I hope more Americans soon realize the strategic importance of the research tools that comprise our aggregate "Pocket Library" and demand immediate action from our lawmakers. ​Otherwise, we’re headed toward a world where George Orwell’s "Doublespeak" becomes a real possibility.
