In 1979, the Carter Administration established the “Taiwan Relations Act”, a policy that established diplomatic relations with the Peoples’ Republic of China and broke off relations with the Republic of China, (a.k.a, Taiwan); this after the Taiwanese had been told for years that America would never turn her back on Taiwan. It was an unfortunate government decision that took place when a President with the same agenda as our present one, turned against many of our strongest allies. The propaganda mills of the world are powerful. The stories that are written, the hate that is manufactured, does not happen by chance. It has been going on for many years. Now it seems the strongest purveyors of the anti-American sentiment are the proponents of the “One World Order” philosophy – a belief that dismisses national sovereignty by proclaiming that globally, we are all “one” and should therefore be governed by one set of international laws. This group wishes to “equal out” the “haves” and “have-nots” of the world. Adherents believe Americans make too much money, have too many belongings and live too well. They have decided it’s time we make some sacrifices by giving some of our wealth to those who are more deserving. Stories are told to twist and distort the truth, leaving out how much America has

done in the world we are accused now of raping. Recipients of this propaganda are never reminded that it was American manpower and money that helped clean up after both WWI & WWII. They are never reminded of how much we help during any world disaster; or how much aid we give to others annually. This and so much more of what America has done and continues to do is successfully downplayed. Some see our charity and assistance as the least we can do. Since his election to the presidency, Barack Obama has helped fuel this malevolence with his endless apology tours, beseeching the world’s forgiveness for all of America’s sins. His agenda mirrors the orchestrations of those who wish to bring America to the brink of disaster. All is not lost however. We know there is hope because these same forces are fueling other fires as well. Since I have experienced firsthand what many people in our world think of America, I wanted to try to change a few hearts and minds. I’ve found in most countries, people are happy to have our tourism dollars, and aid when a disaster hits, but aren’t much interested in taking the relationship much further. I wanted to help, even in the smallest way, to show that the stories they hear are not a true representation of what America is like.
