The American Nightmare... A critical attempt at the effects of puritanism in the current American mentality... A warning from an American writer. The United States of America is humanly backward
"A house founded on the worship of money cannot survive." This is a reference from Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, in which he clarifies without explanation that money and what it establishes is ephemeral, and in this reference it is possible to refute all the religious justifications invented by the West in extending their influence politically based on the power they possessed, making them in the ranks of countries controlling the fate of the countries and peoples of the world.
In search of the truth:
"When Father Elias Zahlawi began translating this book in 2004, at the top of the global blindness, believing in the "apostolic" role of the United States of America, and then the West in general, and paid me to publish it in episodes in the magazine Cultural Visions, which I was issuing at the time, it seemed at that time, to the vast majority of our intellectuals and followers of the magazine, that it was an attempt to delude the fragility of the American mind on the one hand, and to give a dose of hope of survival, to a patient who is about to die on the other hand, and the patient in question is that mind. I insist that what is happening in the world, and what America is doing in it, is accidental, temporary and ephemeral." This is what was stated in the introduction to the book developed by «Muhammad Saeed Hamada» in a definition of the necessity of what was translated by Father Elias Zahlawi to be an illustrative space for everyone looking for a truth that provides us with what came from a conspiracy that has been hatched for decades around us, and to reveal the foundations of what the ideas of Western countries, especially America, were built around in advancing their selfishness and their power over peoples with justifications that they fabricate, relying on the fact that they see what people do not see, and the presence prevails with its power among all countries with arrogance and hatred against the countries of history and civilizations.
America is God s chosen people!
Robert Dole s The American Nightmare is based on the following idea: "Americans see that every military´-or-political intervention in other countries is justified by the fact that Americans are ever God s chosen people, which seventeenth-century Tehranists were fully convinced of." There are religious justifications adopted by US policy, as we can see in its military steps, through which it has ruined the stability of multiple countries and many peoples since the war on Vietnam and the war on Syria.
Relationship with the seventeenth century:
The way Americans think and work dates back to the seventeenth century, and Americans believe that their current tendencies are completely modern, but the analysis confirmed by the writer "Robert Dole" is that the American character was shaped by the puritanical experience, which created many effects in this society, and it cannot be quickly noticed to those coming from afar to America. The author comes to a very important conclusion: "The more change, the more things remain as they are."
Four important aspects:
In his book The American Nightmare, Robert Dole focused on four aspects of mentality and puritanical life in the seventeenth century, and its effects in the twentieth century: individualism, the division between the chosen and the unchosen, cruelty, and public confession. What distinguishes the writer is that he is a pacifist who is not biased to his origins at all, and he chose to write his book in French and not in his mother tongue because he feels that it is a language that will give him the freedom to express his ideas and analyze the weaknesses of American society and what it is, excluding himself from everything related to America, and in this he says: "I have never adopted the values of American society. His materialism and militarism disgust me, today as well as yesterday."
Robert Dole s neutrality:
Robert left America a week after graduating from Harvard University in 1968, and spent 9 years in Europe and 18 years in Canada, all of which qualified him to see through the eyes of a strange man the American society, and he also stated: "When I left my unhappy country, I was a young man angry at a society that seemed to me like an evil empire. I was not only fleeing war, racism, materialism,´-or-violence. I was also running away from the Americans themselves, their mentality, their culture, their behavior, their complexity, their market, their expressions... Now that I am almost fifty, my anger has turned into pity."
Individualism:
In the section on individualism, there is an explanation of puritanism, in which it says: "It is often believed that the word Tehrani is applied only at the level of sexual morality. However, the Tehrani themselves saw the word as meaning the purification of religion. They took it upon the Catholics, who called them "papacies", to abolish the basic things in the Christian religion, by adopting entertaining and hierarchical rituals that stripped the Gospel of its true message. They aimed to -restore- the simplicity and purity of the Church at the beginning of the Christian era." The characteristics of puritanism in the 17th century depended solely on a secret relationship between God and man, with no mediator between them. The power of puritanism began to be used to control society through the recognition of economic virtues by puritanical ethics, followed by Protestantism, which made the Protestant church more interested in capitalism and its audience, and over time the Tehrani became the richest and most imperial tribe in world history. Later, the concept of individualism was associated with individual freedom and the individual s conviction of what he only acted with.
Selected and Unchosen:
The 17th-century Tehranis wanted to establish their vision of making their homeland (New England) a place of exemplary beauty, its quest to be the home of wisdom, and a close relationship with God. With the passage of time, this idea took its place in superiority over the rest of the world s peoples, especially since Americans constitute 5.6% of the world s population, and own 50% of the earth s wealth, so there is something that motivates them to maintain their economic power, hence the link of the state as an institution with religious thought, which calls for being a distinguished people among the peoples of the world. This first appeared in the expansion of their neighbors in Canada in 1822, in Mexico in 1848 and the Spanish colonies in 1898 until the war on Vietnam.
Cruelty:
Cruelty plays a fundamental role in American history, from the Puritanical era to today. The more cruelty counts as divine punishment, the more malicious and cunning it becomes, the more the individual assigns the state the task of inflicting punishments, and the state, representing God, exonerates the individual. The sufferings inflicted by the chosen people on those living in darkness are a demand imposed by the nature of fallen man himself. If nations are not willing to follow the American example, they deserve to have their citizens killed under aerial bombardment.
Public Recognition:
The concept of ecclesiastical confession was distorted when escalated among the neo-Tehranites, as everything one does has become a confession in public, and this concept of homosexual recognition took his existence and his right to life, so the subject was purely American, this phenomenon is deeply American, so that there is no other, in any other language, a common expression equivalent to the American expression "appearing in public". Homosexuals in other nations also reveal their homosexuality, but they are far from matching Americans today.
And also:
The book "The American Nightmare" carried 3 additional chapters that support what the writer "Robert Dole" said, namely the testimony of the novelist "Joyce Carol Oates", and other analyses of the American mentality, and a conclusion in which he concludes that this book is a call for a radical change in the United States system, social and economic on the one hand, and on the other hand, a warning to other countries.
