Preparing the Time Capsule

No one can deny that we are living in interesting (read: confused and unstable) times. The Obama-Pelosi-Reid slow-motion coup d’état now transpiring in Washington has sparked anew the question lurking in the mind of every sober observer: Are we headed for an era of darkness and civilizational collapse the likes of which have seldom been witnessed, or will there be a resurgence of intellect and culture, permitting us to apply the brakes moments before the collectivist locomotive plunges over the cliff?

It would be a good idea, whatever the outcome, to prepare a time capsule; to preserve for posterity a brief and synoptic record of our demise. Let it serve as a testament for future generations, whether it be just one or two ahead of us (as in the happier scenario), or the hundredth generation to come, which finally succeeds in emerging from the abyss.

Without further ado, here are some suggestions for the time capsule. Feel free to critique them or to add your own.

The TV commercials from the Super Bowl. Never have we seen such a succinct compendium of raging idiocy as we did in these sound bites of cretin triumphalism. A veritable work of genius it was, cramming into a relatively short time period the entire gamut of our intellectual atrophy.

A possible side-effect of including this item is that an historian of the distant future might conclude from viewing our TV commercials that over half of the U.S. population in 2010 was black, and that they comprised the core of the middle and upper classes. Ahh, to be a fly on the wall when our poor historian and his colleagues attempt to reconcile this “evidence” with the incessant cries of racism in which our public square is immersed.

“An Inconvenient Truth” + Climategate emails. These must be presented in tandem. Here we have a major public figure, Al Gore, a former vice-president of the United States, disseminating one of the most depraved and superstitious pieces of scare-mongering since the Salem witch trials.

The infamous emails exposing the soft underbelly of the Global Warming hoax may be somewhat superfluous for the time capsule; future generations will undoubtedly look upon the AGW hysteria as we look upon past prophecies of impending doom. But still, the emails are a particularly pungent and concise exhibit of our contemporary brand of folly.

Jeremiah Wright’s g.-d.-America speech. This is the first of two items representing the Obama phenomenon. I can’t think of anything more revealing of the Obamunist agenda than the shenanigans transpiring on a regular basis during the twenty years of B. Hussein’s attendance at a “church” led by one of the nation’s leading practitioners of victimary race-pimping.

Anita Dunn’s Mao-Mao speech. This is Obama item number two. Let us recall: The communications chief of the White House publicly praises, and at length, the most prolific mass murderer and enslaver of men in the history of the Earth, Mao Tse-tung.

The down side to including this item is that our incredulous descendants may repack the time capsule and put it back in the ground, convinced that it’s a forgery.

“Up Your Alley” in San Francisco. [Warning: linked images are disturbing, and not work-safe.] The blogger Zombie, a pioneer in exposés of the Left, produced a portfolio of photographs taken at the Up Your Alley demonstration in 2008 that included acts of sodomy and homosexual fellatio performed literally in the streets of San Francisco, and in the light of day.

No future historian will be impressed by the presence of male homosexuality in our society; this has existed to one extent or another since time immemorial. What will impress him, however, is the degree of public exhibition, something rarely seen on our planet.

UK Labour Party plans destruction of British culture. It will be clear from the overall historical record that the “elites” of Western Europe have been engaged for decades in the obliteration of the native culture and its replacement by a multicultural EU, using Islam as the sociopolitical flamethrower.

A key artifact of this campaign are the documents drafted by the British Labour Party in the early 2000s, outlining their intent to use mass non-European immigration as a tool to degrade and supplant the culture of Great Britain.

A piece of contemporary “classical” music. The more screechy and cacophonous, the better. Come to think of it, we ought to include a set of ear plugs in the capsule.

This could be paired with a recording of rap “music,” to demonstrate that our music has simultaneously been gutted at the levels of both high-brow and low-brow culture.

A piece of contemporary “art.” Any one will do. Like this masterpiece, for example:

Any ideas for the capsule? Please share.
