Where are we headed? Looks like a pretty dystopian future, which should be obvious to anyone who’s been paying attention. For a preview, remember when MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry told us us we “have to get over our notion that children belong to their parents or their families.” We need a more “collective” idea, she asserted. Watch here:
Last year I wrote an article about this: “The War on the Family Enters a New Stage,” which you can read by clicking here.
But moving “forward” Glenn Cook of the Las Vegas Review-Journal offers a fascinating report: “All your children Belong to Us.” Cook notes what’s going on in Scotland, a push to assign each family an official state guardian. It’s chilling:
The Scottish government for years has pursued what amounts to state-sponsored surveillance of families. By August 2016 — unless a court or public pressure can stop it — the country will appoint an official state guardian for every child in Scotland. The jobs will be filled by teachers, social workers, health care professionals and the like. The feel-good part of the plan makes every guardian a personal resource to families, available to answer questions. The sinister part of the plan gives those guardians access to a family’s records, and requires them to monitor and report every child’s development and welfare and recommend household changes. Thus, legislation to expand free school meals and subsidized child care becomes the means to create the Family Stasi.What happens when a family doesn’t return a guardian’s call to check in? What happens when a parent rejects an, ahem, friendly suggestion from said guardian using a few choice curse words? A knock on the door from police and social workers, that’s what.
We all know that destruction of family autonomy has been a top priority of so-called progressives for many years, centuries, even. Yet it's hard to fathom that such an agenda could ever really prevail. I think we've gotten this far on the road to hell for four basic reasons. First, we can't fathom that anyone would let it happen, and can't fathom that anyone would even want it to happen, so many of us simply tune out those agendas as mad ravings. Second, the ground has been softened through the breakdown of families, particularly the absence of fathers, as more people buy into the bait offered by the so-called progressives. Third, the side pushing to control our relationships has been unrelenting and very organized. Fourth, all of the above results in a resistance that is weak and disorganized. The only way around this -- and it's daunting -- is to actually build a resistance. How? I'm not sure, but I know how it has to start. It has to start with individuals talking one-on-one to others, as friends -- not as adversaries -- and expressing what they feel about this. We can't allow this sort of group think to sink in. By openly sharing our concerns about these things to others, we open them up to sensing and see a resistance that they can be a part of. That's where it has to begin. It would also help to have leaders who are real leaders, not peacocks obsessed with their turf. It requires a lot of adaptability, strength of character, wits, and dedication.
