HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast, TRAILER # 1 History is important NOT because "those who forget it are destined to repeat it." That's a dangerous myth. The world is constantly changing. The future will always have a different set of realities. Many unique, truly new combinations impossible to fully grasp until looking back from the future. No, honoring and mastering our worthy past simply provides us protection. It secures us against deception, against evil built upon a mountain of lies surrounding us today. Worthy history is truth's finest early warning system. Cicero said it best: "To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?” Our hard-earned knowledge of past lives, sacrifices, victories, and especially defeats, provides security and protection TODAY from being deceived. For in our schools and universities, in our national political arena, MILLIONS of Americans are being deceived and indoctrinated. For they have no factual historical grounding to provide the promised bulwark. As Alexander Solzhenitsyn foresaw and forewarned, "today people are living by lies." And such a condition, he told us, is always fatal. It's pathetic, in fact. Listen to current "man on the streets" interviews. A huge swath, perhaps a majority of Americans, especially our youth, are hopelessly ignorant. Dangerously ignorant. And thoroughly indoctrinated. It is hard to look to the future with any promise... That said...we hope, maybe, the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast with Rick Robison might help inform and enlighten, in some small way. For indeed, human life, to have any meaning at all, must be "woven into our past" or we will, as "forever children," tragically stumble and fall as a once free, prosperous, and God-honoring nation. For we shall have all eternity to praise our Lord for our blessed freedoms and life-saving opportunities, but only a few, short, fleeting moments now to sunset...to save them. --Rick Robison
