No uniforms this time but we know who they are
War over centuries has been a formal affair. Opposing sides wore uniforms and identified themselves with flags that they protected with their lives.
Each side had its own calls, like the blare of the bugle and songs to inspire and increase the blood flow of their fighters. But then came the silent war, the war of ideology.
We all tend to live in our own micro-world of domesticity, of going to work, sending the kids to school and paying the mortgage. Living from weekend to weekend and awaiting public holidays, those precious time of liberty and the annual holiday, is the bubble in which we survive. However, there is another world, a macro-world, a world in the stratosphere to which we are oblivious but it exists just the same.
When we read that white farmers are under threat of their lives in South Africa we shelve the news as pertaining to South Africa. When we learn of Islamic State decapitations or the rise in crime in London, the social and economic destruction of Sweden and of 9/11 and many similar incidents, we see them all in isolation. The fact is they are all theatres of the same war. It is a silent war against all that we stand for, our Christian democracies.
Had the allies been able to arrest Adolph Hitler during WWII, the whole conflict would have ceased very quickly in the West but Hitler was too well shielded. The leaders of our current war are running free and their identity is known to those who are macro-aware. Were they to be arrested and brought to book for causing chaos around the globe, as they’ve done for centuries, our civilisation could be saved. They stand for socialist fascism. Either we take positive action, and face our enemy or pay the price.
