The Myth of Progress: Notes on Cuba Before and After Communism

Hispanics and the First Christmas Mass in America.

It is important to remember the fundamental part Spain and Hispanic culture has played in fostering Christianity.

Arich Christian underlying bedrock is innately sewn into the fabric of America. From the founding documents of the Mayflower Compact through the Declaration of Independence and beyond, a tightknit relationship and belief system between the United States and a superior transcendental order, is keenly reflected. This established relationship has influenced and benefited American democracy by facilitating the forging of a virtuous society, a vital component of any self-government scheme. On this salient note, it is imperative that honor to the truth be done and the rich Hispanic tradition to that Judeo-Christian moral value ethic that so entails the American fiber be remembered. Christmas is the perfect time for this reflection.

Christmas and the Real Reset.

Let us keep the tradition, in its full meaning, alive, relevant and remain faithful to that way which is conducive to the preservation of the transcendental reset that Jesus began.

The Feast of the Nativity or Christmas signals the annual celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. The significance of this date, under no circumstances, should be relegated strictly for the faithful. It marked the beginning of a Life, human in flesh yet divinely commensurate and all powerful. Simply put, the world changed as a result of the coming of the Savior. This is not to say that evil would be expunged from the world. No. That would violate the very laws and premise for His human incarnation and the course He was to charter. Upon its material culmination, a permanent renovation took hold. 

Despite all the challenges by the forces of evil of yesterday and today, the essence of the values, the worldview, and the hope which that exceptional Life bestowed on humanity, is ever alive and present. It is most fitting to take some of those magnanimous things into account. Let us consider just three.

Christianity as the religion, movement, belief system that ensued following the life of Jesus, set into motion a true universal reset. Let us begin with freedom. The very notion itself of voluntarily choosing to believe or not, was a revolutionary innovation that underscored the part that freedom was given in this new way of looking and living in the world.

The Perils of Private Money in Public Elections.

Benefactors of this massive outlay of private money insist on its importance in facilitating the election process within their jurisdictions.

Private money in American elections is nothing new. While referring to the electoral victory of Andrew Jackson in 1828, considered by many to have epitomized the patronage model, a New York senator said, “that to the victor belongs the spoils”. Consequentially, the support and practice of returning favors by way of government positions, contracts, and other mechanisms, instituted a spoils system which grew to epic proportions and so corrupted the exercise of popular sovereignty, that a call for needed regulatory safeguards became a common clamor.

The 'Fascist' Label and Its Misuse.

Fascism is as far left as Communism. Both are socialism’s children.

“Fascist” is one of the most common terms utilized to brand one’s political enemies. This phenomenon has been aggrandized to epic proportions given its immersion in popular culture. While most people or groups who employ it know extraordinarily little about Fascism, they understand all they need to know and it is that it has negative connotations. The term has become atomically weaponized, primarily, by the left to describe, well, basically anyone they do not agree with. However, some on the right, most likely to score politically correct points, have also succumb to the temptation and throw jabs with it every once and a while.

The truth is that its misuse demonstrates the high level of political illiteracy that exists. Some radical left-wing groups, like Antifa, even have it embedded in their name: “antifascism”. Yet, it should surprise no one that just as so few have bothered to read Karl Marx or Friedrich Engels, it is likely that they never even heard of Giovanni Gentile, Fascism’s intellectual overseer. This nescient charade of concept and language manipulation, if consciously confronted, would surprise many.
