The history of Armenia is replete with episodes that have diluted and divided the “common strength”, always with disastrous results of the nation’s welfare. The present reduced size and precarious position of Armenia is a direct result of that very same “divide and conquer”.

The present Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation Commission (TARC) is an exact example of those historical scenarios being repeated today. History has shown that adversaries of the Armenian people have always been steadfast in any dialog or confrontation that has been created for “understanding”. One example was the acceptance of the Young Turks in the early 1900’s as “brothers” by the Armenians. The naiveté of those Armenians today who are promoting the TARC dialog are not aware of dark forces who have their own agenda that are behind the creation of an Armenian divide.

Armenia’s destiny is being determined by rulers and masters of the present world, in their own ways and means. We are forced to accept their values and concepts of living, such as “democratic state”, civil society, and “free individual”. Our Armenian state institutions, thanks to the concept of globalization, have become more and more dependent upon the world’s oligarchs. We should not be susceptible to influencing forces that want to change Armenia’s culture or dictate how it is to govern itself. That does not constitute “A Free Nation”.

To continue in this direction will surely come to a point soon, where the main concepts such as family, Fatherland and spiritual values will be considered old and backwardness. They will be replaced by different religious cults, deviants, sexual minorities, pacifists, deserters, and corrupt individuals that will form the elite of our society. Today, national resistance is absent. We are not willing to resist the enemy, but rather place ourselves at its mercy. The enemy is ruthless and merciless. The enemy is not only exterior, but ourselves as well. This crazy streak of self-demoralization and desperation must be stopped.

It is not for Armenian individuals or organizations to interfere into Armenia’s internal affairs and destiny. That is the realm of Armenia’s government, but a government that is fully aware of the existence of dark forces and created evil “One World” entities a government not influenced by foreign diplomatic schools and philosophies but rather by the use of its own wisdom for the national good. Today Armenia has enemies that are seen, and enemies that are not seen.

An example of an unseen enemy is the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank that are always anxious to fund Armenia’s economy. It is those very funds (conditions and strings attached) that are insidiously designed to keep Armenia’s economy depressed and stagnant. Armenia should be master of its own destiny by creating its own money backed by 50% gold and lending it for legitimate enterprises to its people with very low interest rates (3% -4%) instead of the unconscionable rates affected by the IMF-World Bank (money changers). If this system of an honest monetary policy were instituted in 1990, Armenia’s economy would have flourished beyond imagination.

The Armenian Assembly has been associating itself with influential forces for gain but the Assembly doesn’t realize those same forces are using the Assembly instead. The Armenian Assembly should stop transporting the American psyche into Armenia, transforming it into something that will not be identifiable in the future. It will then surely become a territory of the world. The Armenian Assembly has made a major blunder in the TARC meddling adventure that will not only harm Armenia’s future but also have an effect upon their own images of grandeur.
