"Those of you who are sick and tired of watching liberals drool over Michael Moore's miserable "Fahrenheit 9-11" are probably wondering why our side doesn't have something better to watch. Well, now we do. Herb Meyer's video on "The Siege of Western Civilization" is taking off among conservative Americans. The video has sold out twice in just the last month ? and one students' organization recently bought 1,400 copies for distribution to all their chapters at colleges throughout the country."
From HEART BEAT by REBECCA HAGELIN"World Net Daily"
Are you worried about our country's future? About our security, our economy -- and above all our culture?
Are you sick and tired of slanted news, of sound-bites, and of talking heads on television who just shout at one another?
Would you like -- just once -- to be talked to seriously about the problems we face and the kinds of solutions we will need to think about?
The Siege of Western Civilization is the video for you.
About Herb Meyer:
Herb Meyer served during the Reagan Administration as Special Assistant to the Director of Central Intelligence, and Vice Chairman of the CIA's National Intelligence Council. In these positions, he managed production of the U.S. National Intelligence Estimates and other top-secret projections for the President and his senior National Security advisers.
Mr. Meyer is widely credited with being the first senior U.S. Government official to forecast the Soviet Union's collapse, which he did in the early 1980s -- to considerable political derision. He later was awarded the National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal, which is the Intelligence Community's highest honor.
Prior to his service with the U.S. Government, Herb Meyer was an associate editor of Fortune, where he was among the magazine's top international specialists.
He is author of several books, including Real-World Intelligence, The War Against Progress, and Hard Thinking. And with his wife, Jill, he is co-author of How to Write, a handbook used widely at colleges throughout the world.
Mr. Meyer's articles and essays on politics, and about our country's intelligence service in the wake of 9/11, have been published in The Wall Street Journal, National Review Online, and Policy Review. He is a frequent guest on leading television news programs.
"Our cultural environment is Western Civilization. This is who we are. And today, Western Civilization is under siege. We are under attack from Radical Islam -- that's the War on Terrorism. We are under attack from those within the US itself who seek to destroy our traditional culture and our moral values -- from those who believe the State is more important than the family or the individual. And we ourselves are acting in a way that will leave our children with a bleak economic future.
We need to understand these threats, now, so we can set in place the right policies to lift this siege we are under -- to save our country and by doing so to rescue Western Civilization itself.
In this remarkable and educational 42-minute presentation Herb Meyer -- former Reagan Administration senior Intelligence official, former associate editor of Fortune, author of several books and dozens of published essays about politics and economics -- talks seriously about what is really going on out there:
What lies behind the terrorists' attacks on our country?
How does radical Islam really threaten our survival?
Why was "regime change" necessary in Iraq and Afghanistan, and what else must we do to stop terrorism once and for all?
Within the US itself, are we really in the midst of a "Second Civil War" that will decide whether our traditional culture survives?
Why are the Judeo-Christian concepts of marriage and family under such ferocious attack?
Is this "Second Civil War" the reason our politics has become so partisan, so divisive, and so vicious?
What are the economic threats that loom before us?
How will the demographic crises in Western Europe and Japan hurt us?
Can our economy survive its own demographic problems?
Most of all, what must we do to defend civilization itself, and to assure that our children understand what Western Civilization really is and why it's worth defending?
In The Siege of Western Civilization, Herb Meyer answers these questions, and more, in a lively, informal way. He --connects the dots-- so that you can see how today's fast-breaking developments at home and abroad form a pattern you can understand -- and make sense of ? as you follow the news.
This is a video you will want to watch again and again -- and you will want your children to watch with you.
