To the editor;
The Palmer Public Library currently has a display “celebrating” Banned Book Week from Sept. 25- Oct. 2.
This display features a declaration from the American Library Association initiated in 1946 in regards to censorship, freedom of expression and free access to ideas. It also features an article of Hitler’s youth burning of books. There is a vast difference between books banned in America and those burned by Hitler. Books burned in Germany included the Bible, Goethe, and others that inspired virtue and a belief in God. Hilter killed millions — Jews, elderly, weak/infirm, those who were of no use or who were against his movement.
Books banned in America have included those which promote forms of evil and Communism/Socialism/Fascism — which God himself has condemned to preserve the very liberty we enjoy.
There is also a poster which states, “Who Banned These Books? Not Us!” I personally asked that the statement “Not us!” be removed or changed to read “Not Library Staff,” as I do not support this statement, and the library is funded by public taxes.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in office during the depression/WWII era and established Socialistic/Communistic programs and power in this country and Europe including sinking the Lusitania, Social Security, the “New Deal” and the Colonist program. He established Stalinist power in post WWII Europe, and began the process of banning the influence of God throughout public education and Government.
We are guaranteed freedom of speech and press under the first amendment. The founders of this nation considered the freedom to voice or print information after the reprisals they experienced in Europe specifically against the corrupt government and Church of England.
It does not guarantee an abuse of these freedoms through vile, evil, communist/socialist/fascist, pornographic, immoral, or degrading speech, word or other media to tear down the morals and freedoms of this Country. Wasilla, Palmer and Glennallen libraries, as well as public schools, all fund, display and promote these materials and ideals particularly to children and youth and they are being brainwashed just as the Hitler Youth.
God has said “I will destroy witchcraft out of thine hand,” “to avoid the very appearance of evil,” and that the day would come when some will call evil good and good evil. He is the ultimate “censor.”
In Ezekiel 33 we are commanded to raise a voice of warning so that the sins of others will not be upon our own heads. My tax dollars fund the building and materials provided in our public libraries and schools.
I publicly state that I denounce anyone that praises, produces, promotes, or enables pornographic, satanic, demonic, evil, glorified violent, immoral, socialist, fascist, or communist ideals or media; and particularly anti-Christ/Christian agendas, and I call down the powers of heaven for justice upon those who would destroy his influence, liberty and virtue through the abuse of it.
This is the greatest nation on earth because it was founded by God.
