The Dangers of Oratory


As I wrote the other day, it is perhaps even dangerous for undefended human souls to be exposed to the hypnotic oratorical skills of such a man, bent and shaped as they may helplessly be to his will. Here quoting from the Declaration of Independence, Biden masterfully replaces the Creator who has endowed man with certain unalienable rights, with “you know, the Thing”; and this act of insidious spiritual subversion is done so subtly that it takes close to superhuman focus, whilst one is being swept away along on the currents of emotion, to even notice any such act has taken place. We must train ourselves to in spite of everything be on our guard; and who can blame those who fail to notice the all but invisible signs and red flags that occasionally slip into view that something may be amiss.
