These articles are written by a gentleman who wishes to remain anonymous. He will continue to post under his pen name.

The reason I ask: I had a question for the author, regarding Orwell's "1984" (and the author's take on that work).
Orwell (a pen name, as I am sure you know) is one of my favorite writers/essayists.
In fact, one of my writing teacher's had us use Orwell (among others) and some of his essays, as models, for our own attempts (usually, less than satisfactory) at writing well.

Excellent article and if you are the author, congratulations. I have been preaching a message similar to your central theme although not nearly as well. It seems obvious to me that the left, specifically Communists regardless of the attempts to soften their names to socialist, liberal, and the latest, progressive, have not tired nor faltered in their crusade (I know, but it is an apt term) toward total control.

I am sure your grasp of historical facts is better than mine but I trace our present situation to the efforts of the USSR to wrest the oil riches of the ME, so important to free enterprise in the West, from Western control by re-igniting the age old but somewhat latent animosities between the Arabs and the Jews. This was to further the Communists' goal of total control through world domination. They created the Palestinian conflict artificially and armed all the Arab states after the creation of Israel in 1948.

After that effort turned against them, as did all of history with the fall of the USSR, they turned to radicalizing Islam, or rather they allied themselves with the Wahabi branch of Islam, all in a continuation of their drive for world domination. Despite the Islamists' hatred for all things non-Muslim, the Communists apparently adopted the principle of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I suppose their thinking is that once the West is destroyed they can easily overpower and eliminate the radical Islamists. However, it seems foolish to help them become nuclear powers with other weapons of MD with that in mind.

I also liked your observation of the fact that this was a partnership of the extreme secular and the ultra-religious. That is a problem that would eventually have to be ironed out if they were to succeed. Both can't have total domination unless they agree to divide the world equally. That ought to be an interesting negotiation.

Regardless, we will defeat them and avoid the problem. Our greatest enemy is still the one within. They have achieved much of their goal to infiltrate and change our media, our education system, our churches, our judiciary, our legislatures, and even our presidency on two occasions, Carter and Clinton.

Keep up the good work for we must be ever vigilant and more aggressive in our battle with evil!
