Seth Gruber delivers a sobering, meticulously researched indictment of America's cultural decline, arguing that the nation is in a 'last stand' moment after codifying total sexual freedom in 1973—marking the beginning of a 100-year countdown to societal collapse, as predicted by Oxford anthropologist J.D. Unwin. He traces the roots of the modern sexual revolution and abortion movement back to 1916, exposing the dark ideological lineage of Margaret Sanger and her connections to eugenics, the KKK, and Nazi Germany through her founding board member Lothrop Stoddard, who was the only American to meet Hitler and was a key influence on Nazi racial doctrine. Gruber contends that the retreat of the church from cultural engagement since the early 20th century created a vacuum filled by radical leftism, leading to the erosion of Western civilization. He calls for a revival of Christendom, not as a political movement but as a moral and spiritual reawakening, urging churches to reclaim their historical role in protecting life, family, and truth. The film and event 'The Last Stand' are framed as acts of resistance and remembrance, with the goal of rekindling a culture grounded in the 'signs' of faithfulness that once defined Western civilization.
America began a 100-year countdown to societal collapse in 1973 when it codified total sexual freedom through Roe v. Wade, according to historian J.D. Unwin's 1934 study.
Margaret Sanger's founding board member, Lothrop Stoddard, was the exalted Cyclops of the Massachusetts KKK and authored 'The Menace of the Underman,' a book directly translated into German and used by the Nazis to justify the term 'Untermensch.'
The Nazi regime's use of 'Untermensch' originated from the German translation of Stoddard's book, which was the only American to have a private meeting with Adolf Hitler after he rose to power.
The retreat of the church from cultural and political engagement at the start of the 20th century perfectly aligns with the bloodiest century in human history and the rise of eugenics, abortion, and sexual liberation movements.
The pro-life movement, children's rights, and family values were once known as 'Christendom'—a cultural force that actively rescued abandoned infants and opposed pagan practices like infanticide and sexual slavery.

Christendom Was the Original Pro-Life Movement: The Story of Callistus
“Callistus started life watches. He got Christians to watch where people abandon infants. So when they abandon them, Christians go up and rescue the baby, place it in a Christian home and raise the baby in the fear and admonition of the Lord.”
