Why do people say they "just aren't really into politics" when I try to discuss the grave future of America with them? You're a voter. You decide which politicians end up driving this vehicle we call the American government. If you're not "into" politics, you'd better get there! Why do people laugh when it's suggested that there are actual Communist forces, hiding behind different labels but nevertheless with the same agenda, behind many of the legislative changes (among many others) in this country??
Honestly, it maddens me. Not as an individual, but as an American. As a human being, actually. As someone who believes our freedoms are far too precious to be treated with blind, ignorant apathy.
Why do we no longer care about what's happening in our own government? Why can we not look around, or skim the pages of history, and see we are spiraling down the same tragic, nauseous path to complete and utter ruin that countless other countries have traveled before us? Why can we not learn from the mistakes of other nations? Because bread and circuses have stolen our hearts, and pride occupies the place which used to be reserved for fear and trembling -- for the fear of God.
And everyone recognizes it. Everyone around us sees it. Everyone but us.
The following article is from "Pravda," a Russian newspaper/national magazine.
Pravda on America's Descent Into Marxism
It must be said that, like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple. Excuse me, dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past centure, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds were conducted upon our Holy Russia, and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather than the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV drama than the drama in D.C. that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonald's or Burger King burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy." Pride blinds the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations," were for the most part little more than Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top Protestant mega-preachers were more than happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo-Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would b e on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been record-setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more than another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America will at best resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.
These past two weeks have been the most breaktaking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more than ordinary street thugs, by comparison. Yes, the Ameicans have beat our own thieves in the sheer volumes. Should we congratulate them?
These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more than a whimper to their masters.
Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motors) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader -- in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self-given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.
So it should be no surprise that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less than two months ago, warned Obama and the UK's Blair not to follow the path to Marxism -- it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western-sponsored horror show, we know nothing as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.
Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper... but a "freeman" whimper.
So should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically-controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasure department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, among the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not looked down upon as a life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme -- this would include any company or industry that has ever recieved a tax break or incentive.
The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing down their facilities and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world how free he really is. The world will only snicker.
