The Morning Report — 9/9/22

Good morning kids. At the turn of the last century, the saying went "The sun never sets on the British Empire." Barely a decade into that century, one that began with such promise for perhaps the greatest flourishing of human and societal advancement, Sir Edward Grey on the eve of the Great War, now known as the First World War, uttered the prophetic words to a friend "The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."

Yesterday, after nearly a thousand years, the sun has indeed set on the British Empire, and the lamps are indeed going out all over Europe – quite literally as well as figuratively. By extension, the passing of Queen Elizabeth is the stark delineation of a fin de siècle. The decline and fall of the American experiment is the prime example. The blinkered, philistine pig-ignorance of savages dressed up in the robes of enlightenment are dancing and defecating on her grave before she's even cold, yet haven't the foggiest notion in their pea-sized brains that were it not for England, the standard-bearer of Judeo-Christianity and western enlightenment, they'd still be swinging from the trees, picking nits out of their hair or clubbing each other to death to see who gets to control a termite mound. That is, if they weren't busy being raped, beheaded or sold into slavery by the practitioners of the Religion of Peace™.

The problem with human history is that we cannot go back in time and rewrite it to suit our own tastes and desires. It does not move in a linear path and when it advances, it does so in fits and starts. Yet, in spite of our own record of horrendous behavior to our fellow man, it does advance. The irony of those who rail against our collective past sins is that they refuse to recognize that the very reason they are able to thump their baloney-nippled transexual soy chests is because of the free and open society that we, our parents and grandparents shed real blood to create and defend. They are hell bent on taking us back to the very dark ages they accuse us of creating. In every field of endeavor, the arts and sciences, our advancement and achievements, the greatest of which is individual human freedom, is to be sacrificed on the altar of madness, ignorance and hatred. The prime example of the latter is self-hatred. That's at the heart of it all, I suppose. But I digress.

Whatever one felt about the concepts of monarchy, or of the foibles of the royal family as well as that of Blighty itself these past 70 years, Queen Elizabeth was always there and represented stability, whether we recognized it or not. Her passing, especially given the times we live in, is a cold slap of reality that the way of life that we perhaps took for granted as something that no matter what would always be there, won't.

The lamps are going out all over the world, now. Elizabeth in her way was at least symbolically one of them. Will we allow that light from her generation, dwindling in numbers and brightness with each passing day, to be extinguished?

As Winston Churchill intoned on the eve of the Battle of Britain,

Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”

When you consider who and what we are up against, in our own country and indeed all over whatever is left of the free world such as it is, Churchill's words are absolutely spot on in the here and now.

Rest in Peace, Elizabeth II.
