Seduced from Victory: How the Lost Corpse Subverts the American Intellectual Tradition  

by Stanley Ezrol

Stanley Ezrol confronts some of our readers’ most dearly held beliefs, tracing the history of those who sought to destroy the United States: from the Eighteenth-Century agents of John Locke and Jeremy Bentham, to the Nashville Agrarians and the Fugitives, to the proponents of the “Southern Strategy” in both the Republican and Democratic parties. Not only is this crowd viciously racist, but the very bedrock of their conservative “family values” stems from a belief-structure that deeply hates Christianity. Behind the hoop-skirts of their genteel nostalgia for the antebellum South, lurks the hatred of humanity, that seeks to reduce its numbers by billions, returning society to a Darwinian feudalism.

by Dean Andromidas

Provocations are being fired up to set off a religious war engulfing the Middle East, on behalf of the geopolitical designs of the Anglo-American financier oligarchy. These include religious provocations at Jerusalem’s holy sites, threatened assassination of Ariel Sharon, and encouragement by Alexander Haig for Israel to bomb Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons sites.
