Grizzly Groundswell

As we enter the new year it’s important to remember that world stability, economic prosperity, and freedom will again be threatened not by one, but by two separate fascist movements. Global Jihad has as its express goal the subjugation of the world, the waging of jihad to bring that part of the world known as Dar al-Harb (house of war) into Dar al-Islam (house of Islam). At present, this battle is being fought in North Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, Western Europe, and North America. No one is immune. Jihadists make no distinctions between combatant and non-combatant, only Muslim and non-Muslim, or more often just jihadist and non-jihadist.

The Global Jihad movement, spurred on by the rapid spread of Wahhabi Islam, has been steadily coalescing for decades. It is not cooling down and will not relent in 2008. Years of propaganda and indoctrination are paying off as jihadists flock to the battle grounds in Iraq and Sudan, drawn into conflict not by local geo-politics but by a true belief in a world-hungry ideology.

The other fascist threat facing the world shares a number of characteristics with that of Global Jihad, including the religious-like devotion of its adherents. From Kyoto to Bali, an Ivy Curtain has descended across the globe. Behind that curtain lies economic disaster and slavery. The specter of global warming has become an all-purpose boogeyman, just as Jews and the West are blamed for all Muslim maladies Blamed for everything from droughts to floods, global warming is now the climatic catch-all. Arctic ice decreases or increases? Both global warming. Local temperatures rise or fall? Both global warming. Hurricane activity increases or decreases? Both global warming. The global warming shamans have so successfully indoctrinated their faithful that any climatic change, in a system that is by definition chaotic, is proof of global warming.

In order to sustain their faith in the face of ever mounting counter-evidence, the global warming zealots have decimated the scientific process. Political intimidation now substitutes for rigorous debate. The ends have overwhelmed the means, and truth is the casualty. Like the jihadists, these eco-cultists have also turned to child indoctrination to ensure the long-term survival of their faith.

Having identified the world’s boogeyman, the global warming high priests are now prepared to ride to the rescue and grant us salvation. All we have to do is turn over control of our lives. There is a way to fight off this great global warming scourge, they tell us, and freedom is the price. H.L. Mencken once said, “The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.” The global warming zealots offer bigger government both domestically and internationally (at the expense of sovereignty) as the only means of salvations. “It is up to enlightened intellectuals to save us from ourselves,” they say, “and, oh, those intellectuals just happen to be us.”

Both of these fascist movements will rely on us to destroy ourselves if they are to achieve their objectives. In both cases it will take domestic converts willing to work from within to bring us down. Propaganda and indoctrination are the tools that will be used, and sorting fact from fiction will be more difficult than ever. But if we remember the values we stand for, freedom and self-determination, we can make 2008 the year these fascists were turned back at the gates.
