Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents is a must-read for everyone who loves liberty and is concerned about the current direction of all western democracies. It doesn't matter what religion you practice or if you don't even believe in God. The book is a warning from people who lived through the tyranny we are opening ourselves up to. Rod doesn't get preachy, he just lays out the truth and offers a path for freedom loving patriots to follow. One of the best books out there for those of us who know what time it is.

"We can point our fingers at the idiot professors...but then, what the hell's up with the evil capitalist overlords? Are they so clueless that they can't even want to take responsibility for the fruits of their own success?" I agree guilt may play a small role but it's really about conditioning. They were taught by those idiot professors Jordan; why would you think they wouldn't behave the way those ideologues conditioned them to behave? There is a line in the movie Seabiscuit where David McCollough talks about the horse initially doing what it was trained to do. It was trained to lose to other horses. The horse had great breeding and a natural instinct to win but it had to unlearn the bad habits it acquired as a result of it's prior training before it could reach its potential and act within its true nature which was to be a race horse. These woke CEO's were taught that the system is rigged against the marginalized classes so they are following their half-ass training just like that horse did. They see no dichotomy between being successful and being woke. If the policies cause the corporation to fail it is because that corporation was meant to fail. We are entering a phase of crony capitalism where the state picks the winners and the losers in business and the corporations pick the winners and the losers in politics. They are one in the same. The woke CEO knows he will always have an out, just like his idiot professors know they will never have to pay the price for the failure of their ridiculous theories. The movement and the CEO are one in the same Jordon. The days of the evil capitalist overlord is over. The days of the evil woke corporation has begun. Personally, I'll take the robber barons because they understood their success was tied to the success of the system but that's me.
