It is exceedingly rare for this site to endorse a particular book, except under compelling circumstances. Its essence must play a part in illuminating pressing western challenges through historical accuracy, offering ameliorating strategic imperatives in the process. Only several such book releases hit said home runs. And there are less than a handful of scholars – throughout the west – who are qualified to render a verdict via attendant prescriptive policies; to remedy/rectify the catastrophic challenges facing America and protect its place as the leader of the free world. Emphasis on free.

But before the reader becomes acquainted with the latest recommendation – duly described in Amazon’s sidebar – recall this scholar’s previous contributions:

While many scholars, let alone average Americans, still wonder whether America is even at war, Prof Paul Eidelberg is hardly in denial, and he even posits that a Fourth World War is in the offing. Yes, a fourth! 

Without any doublespeak, the “take no prisoners” prof calls it like it is, forewarning of the coming American collapse. As a former officer in the USAF, surely his strategic assessment is more than painful. It is what it is.

At the end of this American death dance freedom of speech’s evisceration has been a main casualty, but it couldn’t have come about sans its collision course with moral relativism and historicism. The above links are just appetizers to his political acumen.

About the author: Internationally known political scientist, author and lecturer, Paul Eidelberg is founder and president of the Israel-America Renaissance Institute (I-ARI) with offices in Jerusalem and Philadelphia.Prof. Eidelberg served in the United States Air Force where he held the rank of first lieutenant. He received his doctoral degree at the University of Chicago, where he studied under the world-renowned professor Leo Strauss. Before immigrating to Israel in 1976, Prof. Eidelberg wrote a trilogy on America’s founding fathers: “The Philosophy of the American Constitution,” “On the Silence of the Declaration of Independence,” and “A Discourse on Statesmanship.” The Beginning and End of American Exceptionalism   A Theo-Political Analysis Authored by Paul Eidelberg The book marks the conclusion of some fifty years of research and writing on the foundational principles and structure of the American Republic by Professor Paul Eidelberg, a renowned political scientist. Eidelberg addresses three interrelated objectives. One objective is to revive the foundational principles that made the United States of America the greatest nation on earth: the principles embodied in America’s Declaration of Independence and original Constitution. It is widely known that America is in a state of decline thanks largely to the multicultural relativism of its college-educated elite. This situation, however, is reversible. An uncorrupted and no longer silent majority of Americans has the will and spiritual values to restore American Exceptionalism. The second objective is to revive the source of American Exceptionalism, namely, Hebraic Exceptionalism. Unknown to most Americans, both Protestant and Catholic Hebraists in Europe regarded the Hebraic Republic of antiquity as the most just and wisest polity in history, hence superior to those extolled by Greek and Roman philosophers. This evaluation was shared by the presidents of various eighteenth-century American universities. It is extremely important for Jews to know this because Israel, their one and only homeland, is the only nation on earth threatened with extermination. The Jewish people need to know that what a matured (but yet to be matured) Israel stands for, and what was manifested in the structure of the ancient Hebraic Republic, remains and will ever remain the fondest hope of mankind. The third objective is to articulate the political and meta-political convictions that bond America and Israel, convictions concerning man’s God-given rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness-rights which necessitate limitations on the powers or functions of government. Public acknowledgement of these political and meta-political convictions will fortify the will of these two exceptional nations, not only to stand firm against their common foe-Islam’s renewed global ambitions and its “we love death” mantra-but also prompt the West to roll back Islam’s deadly threat to civilization.

Lest anyone believes that all academics are equal, and that cerebral smarts is a guarantee against stupidity – say what? – think again. NOTHING could be further from the truth…another gem from the good prof, as he takes a physicist – no less – to the (mental) wood shed. 

A Book Based on “Nothing”

Paul Eidelberg

Lawrence M. Krauss is a theoretical physicist. His book, A Universe from Nothing, makes nonsense of religion and theology, of which he knows “nothing”—excuse the pun.

In the Preface of his book, Krauss acknowledges his indebtedness to others. He mentions one person who “tragically passed away.” Toward another he expresses his “humbleness”, and of whom he will “remain in awe.”  Krauss seems to be oblivious that the words he uses to express his gratitude and feelings derive from the religious tradition which he scorns or deems irrelevant. His religion is scientism, the creed of crippled pedestrians or of what Ortega called “mass men.” Krauss therefore ignores Einstein’s famous remark, “science without religion is lame.”

The Afterword of Krauss’ book was written by Richard Dawkins, another (half-educated) atheist, who regards religion as pernicious, but seems unaware that 56 million human beings were murdered in just a few years by the leading atheists of the 20^th century, Mao Zedong and Hitler.

In further proof that great learning and great stupidity go well together under the same hat, Dawkins, an English academic, seems oblivious that were it not for Christian America, he would be living under the Third Reich. Perhaps this may also be said of Lawrence Krauss, who obscures the difference between Zeus and the God of Israel and thus reveals himself as a neo-pagan. I say “neo-pagan” because those who believed in Zeus believed in a superior being, whereas Krauss, judging from his book, believes in “nothing.”

This link is merely for reference purposes, this blog does NOT endorse its idiotic conclusions. Really. For if a theoretical physicist can twist his scientific mind into knots, in order to conform to his pre-conceived revulsion against religion, then how reliable are his scientific formulations/proofs to begin with, as he postulates NOTHING? Climate changers have been known to pervert said scientific principles as well, in the ignoble pursuit of leftism. Exactly. Ideology uber alles. Academic whores, pursuing “science” via taxpayer public funding. Phew.

Most significantly, this blog’s close association with Prof Paul Eidelberg is accurately noted within the following commentary and its embedded groundbreaking policy paper, ‘Islam and Blood’. It is mandatory reading. Self explanatory.
