The Twenty Year Truce. 1919 – 1939.
The period between the wars, from 1919 to 1939 has been called "the Twenty Year Truce." In this interval there was a radical shake-up in Europe, as though the European "chess-board" was being re-assembled. Old orders were crumbling and passing away. New ideas and ideologies were emerging. Chief amongst the ideologies were of course the Socialist ones, as witnessed in Russia with the Bolshevik revolution, in Germany with the emergence of Hitler's regime, and even in Britain, where the Socialist, or Labour Party came into existence and formed a government under Ramsay MacDonald in 1924, and again from 1929 to 1931.
In
all these Socialist ideologies there
has been an element of Satanic
design, inasmuch as they have traded on the miseries of the downtrodden majorities,
to bring into force a regime calculated
to improve their lot, but in
retrospect it has turned out very much
like George Orwell’s "Animal
Farm", in other words, all men are equal, but some are more "equal" than
others. In Russia many improvements were promised, but the workers who looked for an easing of their lot, found to their dismay that
before long all land became state
owned, and a new
repressive regime rose to prodigious power, far worse than the ills
perpetrated by the Czarist regime it destroyed.
To have a heart of sympathy for those in any plight on earth, must surely be a God-given characteristic. But it would seem that Satan, having appreciated this general tendency in mankind, found it to be a useful tool to establish his various reigns of terror. It is important for those in power to alleviate suffering, but it is also important for it to be done in a lawful and humanitarian manner. If revolutionary methods are advocated, combined with the break-down of law and order, and propaganda campaigns against all authority, then it is wholly Satanic in design.
All the Socialist movements this century
have fallen foul of these tendencies.
Thrones have toppled,
leaders assassinated, authority undermined, until
now, in the
beginning of a new millennium we find in
our land, for example, a total lack of respect for
authority in any form in quite the majority of the population. This is verging
on anarchy and could at any time
break out in civil war. The advocates of Socialism
have used emotive rhetoric to
convince the electorate of the evils of capitalism, with all
its excesses and lack of concern for the lowest classes
of society. Fair enough.
There have been excesses,
insensitivity, and careless
unconcern for those less well-off than themselves. But this is not the point I want to make. The real point is to do with the break down
of authority, rather
than the establishment
of RIGHTEOUS AUTHORITY. The
Socialist ideology has
arisen from men like
Adam Weishaupt, and Moses Hess.
As a nation we vigorously condemn all the more lurid forms
such as Communism
and Naziism, but
still allow its
less revolutionary sisters to operate in our land, urging the overthrow of law and order via Union pressure. One very obvious example of this was
with Arthur Scargill. In their inception, the Miners' Unions were a good thing to prevent inhumane
practices, but out of it arose the more
militant, authoritarian, union bosses,
who were prepared to hold the country to ransom.
[As a footnote to the foregoing, we now see New Labour, an animal that has evolved out of its previous form, which had lost some of its teeth.]
I believe that one of the greatest of modern evils operating in our land is the breakdown of respect for authority. Anyone these days can use opprobrious language towards anyone in authority, be it Queen, Prime Minister, Archbishop, or any one of a hundred authorities of lesser standing in society. All of my working life I was a teacher, and until 1968, when I went abroad, conditions in the classroom were tolerable, and oftentimes very enjoyable. But when I next taught in an English school, in 1981, I found to my horror that the law of the jungle was operating. It drove me to a nervous breakdown and virtually ended my career in the classroom and laboratory.
