I understand your nostalgia but everything we see today was happening then. The only difference? The American People slept.
Look at an iconic moment in our history like Pearl Harbor. The Japanese were goaded into this FF action by a president desperate for America to enter a war he is greatly responsible for creating. They used similar tactics when they sunk the Maine in Havana Harbor and in the Gulf of Tonkin and on 9/11. They use atrocities to pique our Patriotic fervor and guide us into wars that dont need to be fought for reasons of personal power and money.
So in fact these days are directly responsible for the miserable place we find ourselves in and we are to blame through our own narcissism. Even Rockwells paintings could be considered part of the pacification of the People.
If we are going to be a part of the Great Awakening we must awaken fully. We must see the entire picture, not just those things that abhor us on the face of it but even the most insidious plots to numb our minds.
Yes. I know this has been going on since the Titanic, and maybe even before then. I simply like the Rockwell paintings because they send me back to a time of innocence and peace.
