Media Advisory: AUL President Dr. Charmaine Yoest Attending GOP Platform Deliberations, Available for Interviews

Otto Scott, the author and publisher of his ‘Compass,’ during the

1980s-1990s wrote several books ­ James I: The Fool as King, and

Robespierre: The Fool as Revolutionary ­ which unmasked the part played by

‘fools’ in high places which led to revolutionary movements on the world

stage of history. He played an important part in my life as the first

historian to prominently and positively review my 1996 book, The New

Totalitarians, in his ‘Otto Scott’s Compass.’ Hence, the subject of this

message.

Senator John McCain has now continued the string of ‘fools’ in history

by choosing Governor Sarah Lapin as his running mate for the presidency.

This desperate, spur-of-the-moment, ill-considered, dangerously flawed, and

wildly risky choice is a dramatic display of the poor judgment shown by John

McCain throughout his lifetime. Robert Timberg, McCain’s biographer (pay

attention to the footnote references at the hyperlink in the last paragraph

below), has chronicled this pattern of recklessness in his seminal book, The

Nightingale’s Song. McCain has not displayed a strong record of

well-thought-out, well-considered judgments – his pattern has been more like

a ‘crap shoot.’

This surprising choice is not only a knee-jerk ‘grandstanding’ decision

made by a crass, self-serving politician with a reputation for irrational

behavior, but exposes his past as a person who would betray his country by

advancing the radical feminist cause ­ one that has the potential of

destroying American civilization. It is characteristic of his past political

maneuvers.

This choice has left voters with a terrible choice in the coming

presidential election ­ an articulate, completely inexperienced young black

politician with direct connections to the Black Muslim brotherhood of Black

Power and a former prisoner of war who has played on that ‘hero’ role as a

catapult to political prominence. John McCain has based his entire political

career on the foundation of supporting the radical feminist (actually a

cultural-Marxist) cause and now, glaringly, revealingly, shows his

shallowness of mind by attempting to ride on the shoulders of Hillary

Clinton’s ‘18 million’ primary campaign voters to victory on the road to the

presidency.

It is obvious that Sarah Palin is a bright young star in American

politics. She has demonstrated, as the governor of Alaska, traits and an

attitude that are admirable, courageous, and timely. But McCain is taking

advantage of this gifted woman by attempting (with incredible naiveté) to

use her ‘womanhood’ as a crutch to ‘steal’ Hillary’s radical feminist

followers. Even if successful, it will cost him, and our nation, dearly.

Sarah Palin has been thrown into the political ‘mosh pit’ at a time when

her family of five youngsters ­ one, a baby, with a permanent cognitive

disability ­ desperately need a constant mother’s care. She is completely

naïve with respect to national security affairs. She is of the ‘correct’

generation, the 13er generation, for leadership in America’s current Fourth

Turning when the nation needs such leadership for the coming Social Moment.

McCain’s choice is not fair to this inexperienced, overburdened woman, to

his party, and to our nation. General David H. Petraeus of the same 13er

generation would have been a much better choice for Vice President should

(heaven forbid) McCain fail to outlive his first term (a second term is not

possible). General Petraeus (the architect of the successful ‘surge’

strategy in Iraq) is a member of a military which the American people regard

with much higher esteem than any other institution in the land, especially

that of the Mass Media, the Congress and the Presidency.

But no, John McCain made the fatal ‘political’ choice, a woman bent on

‘breaking the glass ceiling’ of American politics. This is typical of John

McCain’s political past. He has bowed to the radical feminists all through

his political career.

In 1993 I wrote an essay, The Annapolization of America: A Social Epidemic,

I described a ‘Tipping Point,’ a magic moment when an idea, trend, or social

behavior crosses a threshold, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single

sick person can start an epidemic of the flu. It describes a process and the

‘actors’ required to foment a cultural revolution ­ such as the one which

John J. Miller described in the National Review. His article, ‘Babylon Comes

to Sparta: Have our service academies gotten too modern?’ (14 July 2003) was

prescient.

That article has meaning far beyond our nation’s premiere service

academies. It is a description in microcosm of what has slowly overtaken

America over the past 40 years ­ and spread in the ‘wink of an eye’ of

cosmic time during the 1990s. And it comes to a head during the 2008

election cycle.

In a nutshell, Miller’s premise is that our nation’s premiere service

academies are being forced to follow the lead of the Naval Academy in

essentially purging the ‘warrior spirit,’ the ‘warrior ethos,’ from the

training and education of our nation’s core combat leadership. Their

education at Annapolis is producing a result that looks ‘too much like

America.’ The numerical dominance and relative power of the civilian faculty

at the Naval Academy is the touchstone of Miller’s argument. But it is more

than that, much more. What we have seen occur at the Academy is an example

of a tiny grain of seed ­ the seed of the ‘socialization’ of not only the

U.S. military, but every institution in the land.

I have written extensively on this subject. Two books, numerous articles

published in the FORUM section of The Sunday Washington times and a

voluminous set of essays on my website provide evidence, detailed

foundational evidence, that Miller has it just right. Miller’s article may

have been a tad late, but, finally, the subject has been exposed to a

national audience. The problem, however, is much broader and deeper in

America than just at the Naval Academy. The epidemic has spread across the

land ­ to every institution, including attempts to dissolve the family unit,

the basic building block of any long-lasting civilization.

Read a pre-publication copy of the September/October 2008 issue of my Eternal Vigilance journal (a hyperlink to which appears on my website scroll down to the bottom of the front page) to learn how Senator John McCain has been at the forefront in supporting this revolution. This issue of the journal also unmasks in minute detail the true background of Barack Obama, who Charles Krauthammer describes as ‘The Perfect Stranger’ (Washington Post.com, 08/29/08), but without the subterfuge of effete prose by a Washington pundit. Indeed, we have a Hobson’s Choice in this coming election. A choice between a Black Liberation Theology (Black Power) candidate ­ and a slinky, opportunistic, behind-the-scenes supporter of radical feminism.

You may read this stuff and weep. But read it. And, regardless of who

becomes our next president, we had all had best be prepared to pick up the

pieces!
