5th Column

The 5th column : a clandestine group or faction of subversive agents who attempt to undermine a nation’s solidarity by any means at their disposal. A prime technique is the infiltration of sympathizers into the fabric of the nation under attack and, particularly, into positions of policy decision and national defense. From such key posts, 5th column activists exploit the fears of a people by spreading rumors and misinformation, as well as by employing the more standard techniques of espionage and sabotage. Of whom do we speak? America’s media - the conglomerate of liberals and progressives that hate our country, want to bring about its downfall so that their socialist and Fascist agenda takes control. Journalists, Hollywood’s fellow travelers, leftist Democrat politicians and judges form the vanguard. Though they attempt to subvert America’s greatness openly, their lies and delusions accepted by the gullible, help their supporters work behind the political and legislative scenes. They attempt to instil panic into the public arena through scary reports about dangers to individuals’ health and safety. They pass laws to make us safer and restrict personal choices and rights. Their major premise, that there is so such thing as an accident, of course, shows that their take on reality is flawed. Yet after each horse has escaped from the barn ( as an outrageous crime or accident) they pass another law. Helmets on bikers and scooter riders will be followed - no doubt - by helmets on drivers under 18. They have etiolated common sense as a requisite for citizenship and responsible living. They hide behind words such a freedom of speech and fair and balanced reporting. They employ code words such as invest meaning spend, adjust meaning raise and protect our provenance meaning stop immigration. They are responsible for political correctness strangling behavior; euphemisms run rampant such as forever family for adoptive parents, patient navigator for receptionist, hydrate for drink, account manager for salesman and rapid knock down for kill. The list of revisions to public speech and restrictions against offensive speech and behavior seem endless. The 5th column has slowly become the liberal ½ of America. What is to be done?
