Agenda 21 Propaganda for Teens. (HALO)

I read a book loaned to me by a teenage girl. She was quite excited by it. “Contact Harvest” is by Joseph Straten. The author helped create the game HALO. A graduate of Northwestern U’s Theater Department and the University of Chicago’s “Committee on International Relations.” He grew up “tending grapes” on his family’s California Vineyard and currently lives in Seattle.

The UN controls a vast interstellar fleet and all the human settled worlds. The UN is portrayed as the only logical way to govern once mankind has reached space; national government would be silly once humans are in space. The UN’s domestic enemies are insurrectionists. The insurrectionists kill citizens with huge bombs. They have no political philosophy except they don’t want to be governed by the UN. No explanation is given about why these insurrectionist terrorists destroy the targets they choose or what the insurrectionists hope to gain by the wholesale slaughter of innocent families.

The book’s main character, Sargent Avery Johnson, is a Marine, portrayed as a former American; implied by the author is only reprobates still consider themselves Americans. This Marine’s graduation exercise in the Special Forces was a secret mission where he assassinated a “corrupt” local civilian politician on the planet Harvest.

Sgt. Johnson regularly tortures and then kills insurrectionist prisoners; two shots to the chest and one to the head. Now, he’s not proud of doing this but he’s very efficient about it. He regularly thinks that he has compromised his ethics, but the greater cause of the UN and the Marines demand that he do so.

The insurrection is used as a prop to get to the book’s main purpose, killing aliens. What disturbs me is that the teenage girl who gave me the book believes that everything would be wonderful if all the countries were run by the UN. The novel is powerful propaganda because it was slipped in unnoticed to a non-critical audience. The book is fun, fast-paced and entertaining; all the things propaganda usually isn’t.

I find it interesting that the author has recreated Nazi Germany’s political system without a thought or care. Mr. Straten obviously thinks that killing “corrupt” officials by the military without trial or the opportunity to tell their side or present evidence is good. So long as it is done by the UN. It is okay to torture and then kill prisoners so long as it is done by the military; a military the author created, not the US military, obviously.

I’ve never played the game HALO and suspect that it’s just a shoot-em-up blood fest without much propaganda value. But the book is powerful propaganda for Agenda 21. If your kids are reading it, you should ask them a few pointed questions to reveal the underlying politics.
