Fear.

What is it that makes people corrupt themselves and conspire with evil?

Contrary to the popular belief that it is greed and lust for power I believe it is fear.

Fear that if they act honestly they will lose out.

Fear that without cheating they will fail.

Fear that good won't succeed.

Fear that truthfulness is foolishness.

Fear of failure.

Fear of poverty.

And it is no coincidence that the generation which designed this disaster is the generation who were born during the Great Depression.

The unconscious fear created in small children during the Depression is the cause of their cynical corruption.

And their allies in Generation X have inherited this economic fear and added a fascination with evil.

They dance with the devil and they side with Satan.

All fed by rock music and reality T.V..

But the darkness has reached its limit.

The pendulum has begun to swing back.

The older generation is dying.

And the younger generation - the Millennials - is good.

Their activism is waking up the Baby-Boomers.

And their politics is left-wing.

But our enemy is not other generations.

Our enemy is fear.

The only way to defeat evil is to address the fear that created it.

Once that fear is gone evil simply disappears.
