In this episode of Life Matters Commissioner Johnston explains why the actual right to life is the keystone of America’s founding principles. Recorded on July 4th of 2020, Brian explains how the value and significance of each and every human life is the predicate for all of the other freedoms the American System offers to individuals.
The right to life movement derives its name from the statement of political philosophy which we know as the Declaration of Independence. This Declaration was written to explain to the whole world why the American form of government and its attempt to establish a more just government was necessary. It is based on the God given value of every human life.
In July 2020, the entire foundation of America’s founding has been called into question. Riots and revolutionary ideas are sweeping the nation. Brian reminds us that first and foremost this battle takes place in the minds, in the thoughts, and the inclinations of every individual. If we are not prepared for those battles - the battle of ideas - then the precious gift of freedom and the right to life itself will easily be taken from us.
Brian addresses the differences in revolutions and uses in particular, the actions and statements of the Marquis de Lafayette, who declared at America’s founding that, “Finally, mankind has its own nation.” Brian explains the incredible significance of that statement and the fact that like Lincoln, Lafayette is emphasizing that America’s founding is not based on any racial or particular national origin. It is based on the value of each and every individual human life.
The intentional misrepresentation of both America’s founding principles and the values that are being super imposed by new revolutionaries is very clear when examining the major mass media of our day.
For example, Brian examines the significance of having both treatments and possible cures for individual cases of COVID-19. These treatments and prophylaxis are being intentionally ignored. Much of the media intentionally defames these treatments on the sole basis that President Trump has endorsed them.
Remember that these same media ‘elites’, in support of a cultural ideology, are willing to kill any baby for any reason, just for choice. So the dismissal of possible cure for Covid should not be surprising. Life Matters episodes 110, 111, 112 explain in depth the real workings of this particular coronavirus. They examine in depth the extensive international studies that have demonstrated the impact of both hydroxychloroquine and zinc in literally killing the virus in individuals, and the intentional media desire to not offer any hope of a cure.
In short, Commissioner Johnston warns listeners to not simply believe major media, particularly in recognizing their skewed political commitments, and their intentional abuse of the word “science.”
The scientific method is something that is available to all individuals and should be taught as a tool of learning to every fifth grade student. Sadly, American academic culture has moved away from offering the tools of learning and instead has focused on only forcing ideology into the minds of students. The four stages of science 1.) observation, 2.) hypothesis, 3.) testing, and 4.) theory; are designed only to increase our understanding and knowledge. They are not tools of moral guidance. They are not an assertion of absolute truth. They are an attempt at using ideas to come to a deeper understanding, but they are never a moral absolute.
Finally, Brian examines the very obvious use by leftist academics of false opinion polling and “new information” to declare racial division and animus by all Americans. By implying through a created study by UC Berkeley and University of Michigan department of psychology and cultural diversity (better described as ‘divisiveness’) that contrary to decades of iIconic mascots, suddenly in 2020, as opposed to all common sense and previous studies, the ‘department of diversity’ has declared that American Indians are in fact now deeply offended by the use of these mascots.
The message of Michigan’s psychology department of diversity (divisiveness) is that America is a racially bigoted country from its founding. They are asserting that America’s founding principles should be based on group warfare (as most revolutions are) instead of the intrinsic value of individuals.
These accusations are a heavy weapon in the battle of ideas. They aim squarely at each and every American - declaring them bigoted - and most importantly they aim at the principles that America is built on. America was not and is not based on favoring particular groups one over the other, as is the case in all other revolutions: the French revolution, the Russian revolution, the Cuban revolution, etc.
America’s revolution is unique and has offered the template that has offered hope to all countries around the world – the value of each and every human life and its gift from a Creator should be esteemed by the government which governs these individuals.
