***IN DEFENSE OF THE AMERICAN DREAM***
What is The American Dream? It's this...
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,"
THE AMERICAN DREAM... IS...
BELIEF INTHE IDEA OF EQUALITY... FOR... ALL.
From this 'original' American Dream...
all American Dreams manifest.
…and NOT just here in America.
In the 79 years since The End of World War II...
America's civilian political leadership had absolutely NO choice...
but to fight and win ***The War of Ideas*** against Authoritarian Rule-
that began the moment World War II ended.
AND... they didn't.
Sure, in our name they started many, many wars and killed countless numbers of America's 'enemies' over the years, including Osama bin Laden... and they killed lots of innocent men, women and children who happened to be in close proximity to our enemies.
But they failed to... KILL THE IDEAS... that give rise to Authoritarianism.
In fact, they didn't even try to... KILL THE IDEAS.
79 years after World War II it's up to US... you and me...
to finally give KILLING THE IDEAS a try...
BEFORE...
The Nuclear Holocaust... BEGINS.
To Fight & Win any war of ideas against Authoritarian Rule someone must present to The World via Social Media an idea So Big, So Beautiful and So Powerful that it super empowers The Imagination of every Soul on Earth and Inspires The Freedom and Democracy Loving People of The World to unite and perhaps fight and die... for that idea and The Freedom and Democracy that idea provides.
The name of this idea is...
'STRATEGIC EQUALITY'.
STRATEGIC EQUALITY... IS... about dreams and what it sometimes takes to make a dream come true...
IN A POST 9.11 WORLD.

It's a 'magic ladder'- and a piece of the missing common ground between Islam, Christianity and Judaism... Non-Believers and Believers... the Left and Right... and between America and the rest of The World... including Russia.
It's an idea for using the power of myth, metaphor, imagination, conspiracy theory and Social Media to re-shape reality and Re-Brand America.
It's a philosophical string theory of a sort... where every person has value and every person has a role.
It's not about me... it's about you and me. It's about US. It's about The Power of Inspiration and Redemption in our lives. It's about doing the right thing... just because it's the right thing and even when no one is looking.
It's not a story about 'turning lemons into lemonade'.
It's a story about turning lemons into something much better... like lemon cream pie.
But when it's all said and done, let's all hope STRATEGIC EQUALITY is just another American Dream come true.
Remember...
This 'fight' that we are engaged in today is just another in the long line of fights against people who will do whatever it takes to make sure that their dream of a world where 'The Strong Rule The Weak' in every corner of the world... comes true.
Who wins this fight and the endless-war... all depends upon who proves more committed to their dreams in... THE END... because in this fight, you can't 'Stop Authoritarianism' you can only replace it with a better idea.
What idea? It's the Idea that ALL PEOPLE are created Equal.
'Great light and beauty' began to make its way in the world on the day The Declaration of Independence was signed and the promise of equality for... ALL... was made.
Yes, it is true that making Our Founder's Inspired words true... hasn't been easy. But it has always only been a matter of degrees and time before that dream came true.
Friends & Neighbors...
The Worldwide Scourge of Authoritarianism will NOT fall to the invading armies of an American president.
No, Authoritarianism will quietly die... OVER TIME... when EVERY person in The World finally understands, that WE ARE ALL willing to fight for...
THE SACRED IDEA... THAT...
ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATED EQUAL IN EVERY NATION STATE ON EARTH.
IT'S TRUE. This is where we begin to unite The World in common cause and END Authoritarian Rule in every nation state on Earth...
No Matter What The Cost.
