Nice coincidence
Just after writing the previous rant about science that obliterates vs science that preserves, with a specific focus on a museum in Brazil, I checked the daily additions in American Radio History, hoping for something to brighten my spirits.

This booklet is titled Best Radio Broadcasts of 1940. I wanted to see if my choice of best was there. Nope, it's written by New York demons, so their judgment of best is my worst. The top of their list is a special demonic presentation by the monstrous NYC globalist demon Norman Corwin, and the others are similar.

BUT: the booklet also includes an FDR speech on science. He was talking to the Pan-American Conference, part of his effort to gather Central and South America to our side. The effort didn't work, which was good for South America. Those sane countries have miraculously managed to stay OUT of the Northern Hemisphere's crazy wars, from 1918 to 2018.

The speech hits exactly the same points I was making in the previous item. In 1940 American scientists were still doing Carverian science, still examining the real world to solve real problems. FDR (or his speechwriters) didn't know what would happen just after WW2, didn't know that the globalist resurgence, helped by the abovementioned demon Corwin, would switch the poles entirely. He didn't know that USA STRONG would become the world-conquering monster.

As always, FDR's speeches look clumsy on paper, with lots of poor word choices. He was an awful writer and a great orator.

What has come about has been caused solely by those who would use, and are using, your inventions, the progress that you have been making along the lines of peace, but are using them in a wholly different cause — those who seek to dominate hundreds of millions of people in vast continental areas — those who, if successful in that aim will, we know down in our hearts, enlarge their wild dream to encompass every human being and every mile of the earth’s surface.

The great achievements of science, yes and of art, can be used to destroy as well as to create; they are only instruments by which men try to do the things that they most want to do.

If death is desired, science can do that. If a full, rich, a useful life is sought, science can do that also. Happily for us, that question has been solved — for in the New World we live for each other and in the service of a Christian faith.

Intrusion: Would any modern politician, especially a D politician, include that last line?

Is this solution — our solution — is it permanent or safe if it is solved just for us alone? That seems to me to be the most immediate issue that the Americas face. Can we continue our peaceful construction if all the other continents in all the world embrace by preference or by compulsion a wholly different principle of life?

No, I think not. Surely it is time for our republics to spread that problem before us in the cold light of day, to analyze it, to ask questions, to call for answers, to use every knowledge, every science that we possess, to apply common sense, and above all to act with unanimity and singleness of purpose. I am a pacifist. You, my fellow-citizens of 21 American republics, you are pacifists, too.

Intrusion: Would any modern politician, especially a D politician, include that last line?

But I believe that by overwhelming majorities in all the Americas you and I, in the long run and if it be necessary, you and I will act together to protect, to defend by every means, to protect and defend our science, our culture, our American freedom and our civilization.

His theme is obvious. We're pacifists and non-interventionists, but we need to be ready when attacked.
