Excerpt from the Chronicles

An extract from The Chronicles of the Last Days:

After the second Great War had been won, the victorious Americans went home to an undamaged country. They proceeded to build the freest and most prosperous society the world had ever seen. Vowing that their children would never suffer as they had, they lavished on them high-quality education, material comfort, and indulgent freedom.

This postwar generation was known as the Baby Boom. These “Boomers,” as they came to be called, took advantage of their opportunities, enjoying their freedom to the utmost, giving no thought to future generations – indeed, they made it a point to have few if any children of their own.

Yet this was not enough for them. They desired even more freedom. They identified Christian Puritanism as the one thing that was keeping them from total self-indulgence. “Let us destroy Christian Puritanism,” they said, “that there may be no limit to our license.” And so they did. Their contemporaries in Europe did the same. Together they plumbed the depths of depravity, squandered their nations’ wealth, and left the whole mess to the progressively smaller generations that followed them.

And when the Boomers finally aged and weakened, and realized that they must soon relinquish power and die, they said, “It is not right that the world should go on without us to enjoy it. Let us destroy the world – or let us at least destroy our civilization.”

And so they turned their civilization over to Islam, so that all liberty would be erased.

And this is why the name of Boomer remains a hissing and a byword among all the peoples of the earth, even unto this day.

  1. I read Anthony Burgess’s 1985 (1978) with interest back in the day – with its imagination of TUC=TUK (Trade Union Congress=The United Kingdom) versus Islam – and then along came Mrs. Thatcher and gave things some sort of twist, followed by whatever ‘Red-Green’ alliance has succeeded.

    And, as it turned out, 70 days before 1985 was published, the birth of Louise Brown and the expansion of the Huxleyan ‘Hatchery’ horrors of millions of murders in vitro, in culling of successful children in utero, of trashing frozen folks – and other folks still frozen, and lots of human trafficking. O brave new world that has such people in it!
