The Baby Boomers grew up to be a baffling mix of idealism, creativity, selfishness, and destruction (with more contradictions thrown in). It was during their watch that the moral code was overturned, social pathologies multiplied and offensives were launched against Western civilization. Yet the Boomers were raised by “The Greatest Generation,” the generation that saw America through the Second World War, fighting and dying to rescue that civilization. What happened?
Margaret Devlin, a quintessential Boomer, born in the 1950s, uses her own life to show us what happened – and how and why. She introduces us to her picture-perfect, high-achieving Catholic family and, from her journals and other primary sources, she takes us inside it, recounting the story of developing neuroses, as corruption from within and without weakened it and set in motion forces that almost wrecked it. Devlin’s adventurous life is the main plot, as restless quests usher her into many experiences with fellow leftist Boomers around the globe, until events lead her to consider for the first time conservative ideas. To her amazement, they make sense.
The family’s and friends‘ stories are also an introduction to a deeper inquiry into parallel developments in the society. Devlin investigates ideas and their consequences in Boomers’ lives. She also explains how social engineering set to work on the Boomers, beginning with the child rearing that formed the adults they became. She discloses the hidden engines that drove the corrupting and destabilizing of a generation. She exposes people behind social engineering, the hidden planners who set out to surreptitiously plant secularizing and leftist ideas, manipulate and unhinge minds, capitalize on human frailties, and guide a whole people to an end that they – not the individuals involved – determined. Boomers’ Families seeks to wrest some good from the Boomers’ story by using it to show how great is the power of unseen manipulators. But while it exposes mechanisms that the “invisible elite” use to control the unaware, it also shows that the human soul, with God’s
help, can uncover and resist this manipulation in order to live as a free, emotionally mature human being, following God’s way of love and truth and not that of an arrogant, deceptive and error-ridden elite. Knowledge is power, and recognizing social engineering is the key to withstanding it.
