All you can pull from the entire article is reference to the JBS? The shoe fits. Wear it proudly. "The fear of a hidden conspiracy directed against Western Civilization, Christianity, and the "American free enterprise system" is a recurring theme which runs through and permeates the entire Right-Wing matrix. Its being peddled by leaders in the New Right to Americans desperate for an easily understood reason as to why their European, Christian-based culture has seemingly been stripped from them by "secular humanists" and replaced by what is perceived to be an "amoral" multiculturalism with which few of them can easily relate. It's most extreme expression has taken the form of the Illuminati Myth; its most moderate version is the "Secular-Humanist Conspiracy." The first version names the Jews and the Freemasons as the principle villains; the second names the liberal establishment. In both instances, Communism and Socialism are the tools through which the hidden cabal (i.e., the Jews and the Freemasons in the one instance, the secular-humanists in the other) hopes to achieve its goal of world domination. In reality, the second version is nothing more than a sanitized and less offensive version of the first - one which has been "cleaned up" to suit the sensibilities of moderate conservatives. These shoes fit you rather well actually.

Mercy, I read the first few sentences of the article from "Antipas Ministries" and could not endure it. At first glance, it would seem that Hitler's Holocaust is a nightmare that could never be repeated. The Gotterdammerung in which Hitler's Valhalla went up in flames in a Wagnerian Twilight of the Gods should have consumed this horrible disease. But like a nightmare which won't go away [yadda yadda yadda]… The thing reads precisely as if it were copied from some ignorant high school would-be novelist. Dear me, “The Gotterdammerung in which Hitler's Valhalla went up in flames in a Wagnerian Twilight of the Gods…”??? That is just dang embarrassing! This poor fellow obviously does not know German, and he obviously does not know Wagner. He should have employed simpler ideas and relied upon cultural icons familiar to him (and his readers)—like Elvis.
