I dreamed about zombies last night. Twice. In the first dream, I was with a group of survivors hiding in an office building while the world was overrun by the walking dead. Even in my sleep, I remember wondering what the point was; if we had no means of fighting and taking back the world, we were merely postponing the inevitable.
In the second dream I was in charge of a compound to house survivors from the hordes of zombies roaming the land. I chose a fortress atop a hill, surrounded by a high wall with watchtowers manned by snipers 24/7. I had the hillside denuded 360 degrees so as to give the zombies no where to hide on any approach. Then I had the entire perimeter at the bottom of the hill surrounded by a thick, chain link fence to slow the zombies down, equipped with bells so we always knew when and where a breach was attempted and set large bonfires every 30 yds or so, to scare off the dead. By the end of the dream, we’d replaced the bonfires with a pipeline system that could spray flame where and when we needed it. It was far more energy efficient than continuous bonfires.
That was my problem with the show The Walking Dead. The survivors were so flippin’ stupid. “Oh, no zombies are everywhere! Lets run into the woods where there’s plenty of cover for them and we’ll never see them coming until they sink their teeth into our necks!”
I came up with a better plan than that in my sleep.
So I quit watching after the first season. In The Walking Dead vs. The Brain Dead, I had no team to root for.
But why zombies? Why now? Zombies have been as hot as vampires in entertainment for years now, why am I suddenly dreaming about them?
I’m reading two books right now, the first is by a tenured University professor and it’s about the damage being done in the field of education due to political correctness in service to the diversity campaign and the hypocrisy and totalitarianism they actually promote as they wage war on Judeo/Christian values and in fact, all of western civilization. It’s called Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel. I mentioned that Prof. Mike Adams is tenured: if he hadn’t been, he surely would have been fired for writing any one of the emails, essays or columns reprinted in the book. University diversity suffers no opinion that doesn’t fit their orthodoxy.
What does this have to do with zombies?
I’m gettin’ to that.
The second book is the memoir of the highest ranking Soviet officer to defect during the Cold War.
Lt. General Ion Pecepa was the top spy chief in Romania before the collapse of the USSR.
His book, Disinformation, describes the strategies and tactics used by the soviets to keep an iron grip on the people they ruled while simultaneously exporting totalitarianism to the West through established institutions and seemingly benign cover groups with innocuous names like The World Federation of Trade Unions that were really soviet established front organizations funded through Moscow. Their intent, according to the cover of the book is to undermine freedom, attack religion and promote terrorism.
I had only gotten to the sixth chapter of Pacepa’s book when I realized Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel and Disinformation are the same story.
Pacepa’s story describes where the seeds of these ideas and ideals originated and how they were planted while Adam’s book describes the ugly fruit of these noxious weeds. The agenda described in both books is identical: promote all things that destroy the individual, starting with religion, the family, the idea of personal excellence and all hope of achievement. Lump everyone into social groupings, so as to focus political power on groups as a way to keep individuals in line and above all, scapegoat the Jews.
That’s the thing that communism, Nazism and Islamism have in common; hatred of the Chosen People.
Does your local university employ affirmative action in their admittance procedures? Does it discriminate politically in it's hiring practices? Does it discourage Christian groups from participating in campus life? Does is celebrate diversity by promoting unhealthy lifestyles? Does it spend time and tax dollars on convincing subgroups (women, blacks, homosexuals) that society is out to get them and it’s much better to be the oppressor than the oppressed? Does it spend a lot of energy frightening its student population with nightmares of epic proportion in the name of the coming ice age, global warming, climate change?
These are all ideas that originated in Soviet Moscow.
So…What has this got to do with Zombies?
The Soviet Union ‘died’ in 1989. The Berlin wall came down over twenty years ago. The cold war ended; the west won.
But like Sauron, whose ring kept him tethered to this life and Voldemort, who left horcri behind, the soviet ideal is less ‘dead’ than it is ‘undead’. It lives and is rising all over the west. It lives and is pushed mercilessly on our college campuses, whether under the name of ‘diversity’, ‘the rape culture’ or ‘institutional racism’. Whether the professors and administrators pushing the agenda know they’re the cats paws of the Soviets is a moot point; there’s a reason the Soviets called them ‘useful idiots’. It has infiltrated our political institutions all the way to the highest office in the land.
Our Justice Dept. could best be described as ‘capricious’, which is the hallmark of tyrannical government. Our Founders were trying to avoid exactly that when they wrote our Constitution, guaranteeing equality under the law.
Our IRS has become the most feared, lawless enterprise in the nation, bound by no authority and answering to no one, persecuting anyone they see as a political threat with impunity.
Our press gives cover to corruption with lies, deceit and white wash.
The power of the government is being used to silence critics through civil suits, pretending that there’s no First Amendment issue when the government itself is not the plaintiff.
How did this happen?
Simple; the Cold warriors thought they had won. We went on with our lives, confident that the enemy was dead. But totalitarianism isn’t dead at all. It’s Undead and it’s ambulatory.
You know how to kill a zombie? Fire won’t do it, sunlight won’t do it, a wooden stake through the heart won’t even slow it down. A silver bullet will only be effective if you aim properly; you have to take out the head. You must destroy the cranium, the brain, the intellect.
The intellect of a nation resides in its educational system. Ours has been compromised for decades. In all fifty states, the teachers unions are hand in glove with the politicians. Our nation’s history has been perverted, our founders taught as nothing more than slave owners; subverted to where our rescuing the world from totalitarianism three times during the twentieth century is called ‘Imperialism’. Our kids aren’t being taught history or biology but by gum, they learn about bullying and recycling.
Our colleges are teaching our kids that George Washington, the Indispensable Man, was not a leader at all but a malleable, stupid man and that Barack Obama, all evidence to the contrary, is smart and has their best interests at heart.
The zombie apocalypse is upon us and we never saw it coming.
