The Collective Mindset Had Triumphed Over Individualism

America has devolved into the mindset of Statism – either neo-Fascist Nationalist Populism or neo-Socialist Marxism.  The Body Politick divided and insistent that the other ideology will destroy the country, ignoring the fact that both purveying ideologies are Collectivists.

The following essay written by a good friend in the Liberty Movement has captured the core of the argument between Trump Republicans and the Obama/Hillary Democrats.  While many are arguing for Collectivism, the Natural Rights Movement is attempting to reacquaint an ignorant people of the discarded construct of Individualism.

Individualism in Early America

This comment appeared on a FB thread post:

I read on Facebook a lot of empty bravado calling anyone who isn’t a Trump supporter a whiney sore loser or “cry baby liberal pansy” or worse. I don’t think these types of self-satisfied people are prepared for the pushback taking place. When people see their very idea of Democracy threatened it awakens something. We will allow a plutocracy to prevail and push women & minorities back to the 50s over our cold. dead. bodies.

Noam Chomsky: With Trump Election, We Are Now Facing Threats to the Survival of the Human Species

These guys, along with “Democracy Now” are nothing but a bunch of Collectivists who are perfectly fine with tyranny — tyranny is what Collectivism breeds.

Where were their criticisms of the Obama administration when it bailed out the massive banking corporations in the exact manner as did the Bush administration?

Where is their criticism of the Obama administration when he signed the NDAA of 2012 which legalized rendition?

Where is their criticism of the Obama administration which also just declared CBD to be “non-medicinal” and now a schedule 1 drug?

Why are seemingly intelligent people championing such anti-liberty actions of Collectivists on “both sides” of the false political paradigm?

Why worry about what Trump *might* do when these Collectivists have no regard for all the evils of past administrations?

This all just seems like total insanity to me. After all, it’s the Hillary supporters who had been rioting and destroying the private property of other individuals.

I cannot take anything these Collectivists have to say seriously due to their blatant hypocrisy.

I find it very sad that the masses continue to worship the STATE rather than stand up against such tyranny.

Philosophy – Natural Rights Coalition

In today’s society, totally ignorant of the history of such philosophy breeds comments such as:

Can you give an example when your vision on non-“collectivism” has been implemented?

…Even if I could give such examples of how the Philosophy of Individualism has been implemented at the founding of America’s Civil Law through the honoring and protection of our Natural Rights, it wouldn’t justify the hypocrisy these collectivists exemplify in only criticizing one side of the partisan duopoly for such violations of our Natural Rights.

Please don’t misunderstand, I am equally as critical of so called “Conservatives” when they act likewise hypocritical.

My point is that the masses continue to listen to hypocritical collectivists who are deceiving them into believing that only the other so called “side” of the false political “left-right” dichotomy is tyrannical.  Call them fascists or socialists, they are all collectivists.  And by definition of their chosen philosophy, they do not honor the unalienable Natural Rights of the individual.

The Philosophy of Individualism has been implemented in America’s Civil Law from the onset, albeit imperfectly — certainly, slavery in America was hypocritical to our founding documents.  However, it should also be noted that pre-Civil War America’s slavery population was ~13%.  Compare that to the present situation whereby nearly everyone has become “wage” slaves of the STATE.  It’s supposed to be the other way around.  the STATE is supposed to be our servant.

Natural Rights principles are what our entire founding documents were created upon.  They are what Jefferson penned as being “self-evident” in the Declaration of Independence.

Examples of Individualism in America’s onset include:

• Natural Right of health care freedom:

the STATE didn’t violate or engage in the private free market of medical care and medicine (i.e.: the STATE waged no selective drug wars, so people were free to choose drug remedies by their own free will); the STATE didn’t force out of business or out of the country medical scientists who provided remedies that had a proven track record of success for people’s ailments; the STATE didn’t mandate uncontrolled dosing of the masses through their water supplies of chemicals proven to be toxic; etc…

• Innocence until proven guilty:

the STATE used to honor this principle, yet there are a myriad of instances where individuals are treated as guilty until proven innocent; tyrannical acts such as rendition were not practiced by the STATE (while rendition had been likely practiced illegally by previous administrations for perhaps decades, it has only been recently legalized by the most recent administration as previously noted).

• Natural Right of property & privacy:

there was never originally a so called “income” tax in America; the founders mandated such direct taxes to be illegal, for it was self-evident that every individual had the right to the fruit of his/her own labor AND the right to keep one’s personal affairs private; the STATE didn’t engage in “civil asset forfeiture”; the STATE didn’t engage in massive general spying on its citizens; the STATE never prohibited gardening or farming on one’s own property.

• Natural Right to self-defense:

the STATE didn’t violate violate one’s Natural Right of self-defense by prohibiting or interfering with individual armament (in fact, it was militias of individuals who volunteered to fight in the Revolutionary War in order to maintain this paramount Natural Right… now, such collectivists I criticize desire to entirely disarm Americans who have not violated the Natural Rights of others, thus another example of guilty until proven innocent).

• Natural Right to free market commerce and private contract:

the STATE didn’t initially control or manipulate currency, nor did it infringe upon free market commerce; private individuals were free to engage — or NOT engage — in their private business with others according to their own free will and without ANY STATE intervention whatsoever; business licenses didn’t initially exist because it was self-evident that individuals have the Natural Right to profit and therefore survive; marriage licenses didn’t originally exist — marriage is not only a private matter, but also one of CHURCH rather than STATE… remember “separation of CHURCH & STATE”?  😉

[noteworthy: a “license” or “permit” means that the STATE is asserting it’s authority over the individual — as “master” — giving the license/permit bearer *permission* to do something that the individual doesn’t have the Natural Right to already do.]

We could go on about how far more tyrannical America has become since its Individualistic leaning onset, resultant of embracing Collectivist principles.  But basically, if one wasn’t violating the Natural Rights of anyone else, the STATE at most all levels didn’t interfere in the private lives of individuals.

… That was the original concept anyway, and I submit that these principles define libertarianism, however, definitely not according to the Libertarian Party.  The LP is largely divided by libertarians, and anarchists who call themselves “libertarians”.  There are also anarchists who call themselves “voluntarists” (or some form thereof), no doubt hoping to make their false ideology sound more alluring to the ignorant

However, by contrast libertarians understand that if no one ever violated the Natural Rights of anyone else, there would be no need for government at all, and therefore, anarchy could actually work.  We also realize that this is a fantasy.

We who live in the real world of human society, and are of sound mind, acknowledge that some people will always violate the Natural Rights of others.  Therefore, limited government having the primary if not sole function of protecting the Natural Rights of ALL individuals is necessary for a society whose goal is to maximize peace, prosperity, and liberty for ALL.

But I have digressed…

Of course, maintaining a libertarian leaning republic didn’t last long.  Government continued to wax corrupted and powerful, thus a new tyranny was born and since fostered by the advance and then mass indoctrination of Collectivist philosophy.

…taking this time to exemplify some of the various ways tyranny has grown in America is helping to encourage me in my goal of fleshing out the www.NaturalRightsCoalition.com website, especially to address various Natural Rights violations by the US Government at all levels and offer practical solutions that end all such violations.

I truly believe that Natural Rights principles, which are all also rooted in the “Golden Rule” shared by many cultures of commoners throughout all of human history, are unifying rather than dividing.  And right now, there is only growing division in “Neo-Amerika”… and that’s not sustainable — Untied We Stand, Divided We Fall.

Liberty Lost Is Never Regained

American Christians by and large apparently cannot read the signs of the times.  Tribulation is at our door and a lukewarm church is blind and infected with a fatal case of Normalcy Bias.

The following essay is from a sermon I had given on the July 4th weekend.  It is a very long read, as it was a 90 minute sermon but it is what the lukewarm church in America needs to hear at such a time as this.

***

This is not going to be pleasant message and oftentimes the truth is not pleasant. I make no apology for it.

I did not feel like celebrating the 4th of July.  Instead I grieved, in anger and bitterness.  I’ve known for awhile now in my spirit that America as we knew her is over, and now given the last few weeks, a few more are beginning to see what I have warned about for years.

Liberty has been lost brethren.  Tyranny and persecution are now our future, indeed it is here – and we brethren, have grown comfortable with it. America has become an unfaithful and wicked nation that has turned it’s back on God to go after lusts of the flesh and the mind.  It has done what not even the pagan Romans had dared to do.  NO NATION on earth, not even Sodom and Gomorrah CHANGED the institution of marriage into a perversion of marrying two men or two women to engage in sanctioned homosexuality as a LEGAL RIGHT and have given it legal supremacy.

This nation has thrown liberty, which was the gift from God, back into His face, and spit on Him saying “We do not want to be reminded of You”.   Meanwhile the vast majority of Christians in this nation, have either sat on our hands in indifference and apathy OR joined hands with the homosexual agenda out of either agreement with the agenda or fear of what the mob will do in concert with the government for daring to oppose it.

Given what has transpired of late including the recent rulings that have come down from the high court – how can any of us be in a celebratory rule and lie to ourselves that we are free??  Are we unable to read the signs of the times?  Do we not know what that ruling and the several other ridiculous rulings from the High Court mean for us?

July 4th was not a time to celebrate, but to call to memory the righteous indignation of our forefathers at the lawless actions of tyrants. It should have been a time to remember the fact that though they did not want war – no sane man wants war – our forbears were willing to have war if that was what it was going to take to remain a free, self-governing people, sovereign under Almighty God.

“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” – The Declaration of Independence

Sadly, Christians in this nation have allowed themselves to become illiterate of both the bible and history by thinking that there is nothing a Christian should be willing to fight against or die for.  Brethren will not like what I have to say in this message.  I am raining on their parade, letting the air out of their balloons.  Like most Americans they do not want to grieve or be reminded of our national wickedness that impels us to mourn what trust we have betrayed; what principles and laws we have allowed to be trampled and the blood of patriots that we have chosen to ignore.

It is a time to ask ourselves, and each other: What exactly are we willing to do to resist wickedness and tyranny?  Are you getting used to this ‘new normal’?  Are you resting your hope on the next presidential messiah to save us?

Well I got news for you: freedom as you knew it is over.  Life as you knew it is OVER.  Look at how much we have been transformed into in just a few years.  Look at what we have grown comfortable into accepting as our new normal! It’s 1936 and a whole nation is seig heiling fundamental transformation while being set against one another for the sake of those in power.  But no one likes negativity – I am told.  No one wants to hear doom and gloom.  If that is the case, then this people are not interested in hearing the truth.  This people are become the epitome of

Isaiah 30:9-10:

For this is a rebellious people, false sons, Sons who refuse to listen To the instruction of the LORD; Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions”; And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right, Speak to us pleasant words, Prophesy illusions.

Some have said to me ‘all this woe and tribulation that is coming has to happen so let’s just sit on our hands and watch what is about to unfold upon us – God will spare us pain and be our Rock and shield’.  How utterly naive. As if they are going to be sitting in recliners munching on popcorn and sipping soda as if the collapse of the country is going to be a pay-per-view event! Such people are not going to endure and tolerate watching the amount of suffering and horror that is going to come upon us.

I am here to tell you that while I can accept the fact that this nation is toast – what I was shown about myself in 2012 was a warning message that some Christian brethren understood I needed to get across to the church at large.  The message was that we American Christians are not ready to endure and suffer what brethren in the third world suffer every single day.  Having lived in a third world slum among persecuted Christians in 2012, watching those you love suffer seemingly without end or relief, was more than I was able to bear.  I have to say that when God turns His back on this nation to allow His righteous judgment of our consequences be meted out – it will test your faith to it’s breaking point and I daresay the vast majority of Christians in this nation are going to buckle and fold.  Heck – many are already buckling and folding and the real pain has not even come yet except upon a few!

Sadly, the church in America is not interested in hearing about what God is doing overseas, or what I learned about persecution.  They have a new fellowship hall and coffee shop to construct for their youth ministry.  They only want to hear positiveness and reinforced messages pertaining to health and prosperity.  Some have said they do not want funds being diverted from ‘their great work of God’ to go to things they are not in charge or have control of. Matthew 28:19-20 is limited to preaching to other Christians about how they are wrong in this practice or that doctrine rather than going into nations where the Name of Christ is relatively unknown.  They are too busy wanting to argue minute nuances of doctrine rather than notice that an entire society is about to collapse into ruin around them.

One of my personal passions in life before I was called to Mission work was attempting to talk about God’s Role in Our Founding and what real Liberty was as it was intended by our Founders.   But brethren, this people that we call our countrymen today HAVE NO CLUE WHAT REAL LIBERTY actually is. The definition of liberty in today’s America is the exact opposite of the definition that our Forbears intended for us.

Recently, five justices in black robes ignored God and Natural Law’s factual principles of life and told everyone that ordaining Homosexuality as a RIGHT was an essential liberty. The avalanche of totalitarian celebration clang from sea to sea.

The White House, supposedly representing the American government was bathed in colors not of the American flag but of a flag representing the celebration of what the Bible calls an ABOMINATION.  Homosexuals use the rainbow, the very sign of God’s covenant and mercy in the face of judgment, to desecrate His name, and flaunt evil, and it became a desecration covering the White House.   The “People’s House” at 1600 Pennsylvania was bathed in colors of the Homosexual flag to give Christians the middle finger.

Where is the collective outrage of the Faith in this country?  *Crickets* Collective outrage?  No.  Some griping and complaining in op-eds and on some talk radio – but outside of that – *crickets*.

A newfound Constitutional Right has been established in America ladies and gentlemen; the right for a man to put his penis in another man’s rectum, or two women to play with themselves and have the state declare that marriage. The ruling had NOTHING TO DO WITH RIGHTS if you read the dissents.  It was a political edict of ideologues who believe in their “supremacy” over God and us ‘little people‘ is divine.  They believe they are wiser than God who created the institution of marriage between a man and a woman and have instead decreed their abominable BEHAVIOR to be an inalienable RIGHT and SUPERIOR to God’s.

And now, the calls are already clamoring for people to have the liberty to engage in Polygamy, pedophelia Legalized incest and even beastiality.  The pandora’s box of liberty to do as your loins and imagination dictate – is now wide open. The country is falling over itself to celebrate and applaud deviant sexual acts and make it an unassailable institution just like Abortion.

 Isaiah 3:8-13

For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen,  Because their speech and their actions are against the LORD, To rebel against His glorious presence. The expression of their faces bears witness against them, And they display their sin like Sodom; They do not even conceal it. Woe to them!  For they have brought evil on themselves. Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, For they will eat the fruit of their actions. Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he deserves will be done to him. O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray  And confuse the direction of your paths. The LORD arises to contend, And stands to judge the people.

Anthony Kennedy and SCOTUS have led the nation astray and have made wicked and crooked paths THE LAW of the land while DENOUNCING the Law of God. The Court has suggested in the majority opinion that God-ordained marriage “creates a climate of intimidation and offense” that deprived homosexuals of their rights.   This is “liberty” they say.  The “liberty to “love” whom and what they choose.

Liberty apart from God’s moral code brings on horrors.  Horrors like those experienced during the French Revolution.  While Robspierre was shouting “Liberty!” they were beheading everyone that was accused of having profited under the monarchy and who refused to bow down to the newfound ‘secular’ morality that swept France in the late 1700s.  Brethren, this is where we are headed in America.

Freedom is Slavery – War is Peace – Ignorance Is Strength wrote George Orwell in his novel 1984.  That upside down dystopian universe is now ours in the age of Obama. Tyranny is now said to be Liberty, and it’s no wonder considering calling tyranny liberty is nothing new:

“We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatable things, called by the same name—liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatable names—liberty and tyranny.” – Abraham Lincoln – April 18th, 1864.

Liberty for most Americans today means the freedom to have sex with whom they please, whenever they please.  Freedom means cable TV and beer and entertainments.  Freedom for some means a welfare check, or their perceived right to your wealth and to dismantle your evil ‘white privilege’.  What freedom means in todays America, is the freedom from shame, the freedom from guilt, the freedom from responsibility and especially the freedom FROM God and morality.  Unless of course you are white and Christian, then we are expected to be ashamed, guilty and bear responsibility for all the perceived woes our culture and our God have inflicted upon the nation.

I have been admonished that we should not waste time trying to reason with the wicked, that such is casting pearls before swine.  It was given as a justification to shut the doors and close the blinds of your church and “let the world fall”.  The problem with this line of thinking is in so doing we are ignoring the Devil’s devices.  You are not going to be safe and secure in your church.  The fact is that sin will never leave you alone.  Evil always demands equality and accommodation, and when it is given and accorded – evil CONQUERS and DOMINATES.  This is true of a soul as it is a society.

The refusal to confront evil and accommodate the liberty of a people to engage in wickedness and evil is bringing tyranny to those who stand for righteousness.  We now currently live in a country where our beliefs and faith are INCOMPATIBLE with the mainstream of a society that views our faith in our God as tyranny, as a “Christian taliban” and worse.  Freedom as we might define it is not the same as the rest of the country defines it. If you oppose homosexual marriage and “gay Rights, you will be declared a tyrant – even if you are not engaged in punishing those practicing it.  Those of us who revere the bible are going to experience the tyranny of those who will force us to accept their behavior upon us.  We declare our liberty to follow the scriptures unmolested and they declare their liberty from God to follow their lusts for the purpose of molesting us.

This is not a war on marriage, but a war on a way of life itself. A war to bring an entire society to ruin.  If one dares bring fact into the mix, they are shouted down, boycotted, driven from the town square and punished severely.  It is not enough that you keep quiet and to yourself – you must accept, love and accord the behavior that contradicts your faith and principles – or you will be punished.

Case-In Point: Sweet Cakes By Melissa.  Not only was this business in Oregon shut down, the owners Aaron and Melissa Klein were fined $160,000 for refusing to bake a gay wedding cake and then the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries issued a gag order, stripping the Kleins of their First Amendment Right of both Speech and Exercise of Religion  by banning them from speaking about their faith and their convictions to anyone in public, the media or on the internet about this case and the reasons they chose not to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding.

“The Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries hereby orders [Aaron and Melissa Klein] to cease and desist from discussing, publishing, circulating, issuing or displaying, or causing to be published … any communication to the effect of their reasons for their crime of discrimination made against any person on account of their sexual orientation,” – Commissioner Brad Avakian  

Because they refused to remain silent and talk radio and Christian websites have been reporting on this heinous act by the tyrants – the State of Oregon has now DEMANDED the Kleins pay the $135,000 in damages by Monday July 13 or else the state of Oregon will place a lien on their home and force them to sell all their assets at auction to satisfy the fine.  Their donation page on GoFundMe was shut down because it was determined their fundraising effort was to support “an illegal purpose”. “After careful review by our team, we have found the ‘Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa’ campaign to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions and have removed this campaign,” Go FundMe officials stated to the Oregonian. 

President of the Family Research Council Tony Perkins stated “An Oregon judge made clear in no uncertain terms to the Kleins and all Americans that the state has the right to demand that citizens engage in activities that violate their beliefs and if they refuse, they will lose their ability to make a living,”.

“Liberty” now means you must take part in and celebrate homosexuality.  If you refuse – you will be punished.  Your wealth will be stripped from you.  Your ability to make a living will be stripped from you.  Your rights will be stripped from you.  Your property and possessions will be stripped from you. Welcome to the Mark of the beast. And we are comfortable with it!  We shrug our shoulders and ignore this outrage!  And this is how tyranny becomes institutionalized.

Not even King George III imposed such wickedness on the Colonists!  They would have picked up arms and gone hunting LONG AGO.  Yet Christians today apparently believe nothing is worth action beyond perhaps prayer and holding a candle.  We are often lectured by pastors and lay members that we must hate the sin, but love the sinner – yet they preach this to themselves ignoring the fact that society and government decree that to hate the sin is to discriminate against the sinner because the sin they engage in – is who they are.  So Christians no longer judge right from wrong and wickedness takes a foothold and gives birth to tyranny.

In such a society, wickedness is declared to be superior to Righteousness: Relationship “Experts”: Gay Marriages Are Superior to Heterosexual Marriages and Gay Parents Superior to Straight Parents. 

“Men and women are fundamentally different in certain ways, and those differences can pose major challenges in straight marriages. Same-sex couples, by definition, don’t face these obstacles, which is why recent research suggests that same-sex marriages aren’t just equal to straight marriages: in important regards they are superior.”

Woe to those who call good, evil and evil, good! declares Isaiah 5:20. But if you think you can use the bible as a shield in this wicked society and rest safe and secure, think again.  A rising chorus of ‘theologians’ and politicians are declaring that Jesus and The Father embrace Homosexual marriage, castigating those of us who revere God’s Word over the consensus of evil men who have compromised with the homosexual agenda.

Former Presidential national embarrassment and self-proclaimed born-again Christian Jimmy Carter declared that he believed that Jesus would embrace gay marriage.

“I think Jesus would approve of any love affair that was honest and sincere, and was not damaging to anyone else. And I don’t think that gay marriage damages anyone else.” Carter said.   

We might laugh at that – but this quote is now being cited as superior to scripture!  Marxist politicians and homo agenda groups are demanding Churches REVISE the bible and are suing bible publishers to strip any and all negative references of homosexuality out of scripture – citing it is against the law now that SCOTUS has ruled.

How long before we see mass bible burnings in America?? You think I’m kidding? Look at the mob insanity of ripping down the Confederate Flag and digging up the graves of dead generals spreading like wildfire throughout the country.  It will not be long before the “hate speech” of the bible is set ablaze in frenzied rallies in such an atmosphere.

How many of us truly believe it is better to obey God than men?  Your test of whether you really believe that beyond acknowledgment is coming soon, and judging by the fruits of how many churches are capitulating to homosexuality – I think the answer is going to be very few of us willing to obey God rather than “the law” and the agenda.   I mean, where is the big middle finger to tyrants?  Or is that “judging” and being “too mean” and “unChristian”??  I am certainly glad our Founders were not the lukewarm cowards the church in America has become.  I cannot count the number of times I have had Romans 13 thrown in my face to insist that refusing to follow “the Law” is rebelling against God, as if Man’s “laws” trump the Almighty God Jehova’s Supreme Laws.  Our Founders were not so blind:

“If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it; he is obligated to do so.” – Thomas Jefferson

“Disobedience to tyrants is obedience to God” – Benjamin Franklin

Christians today however, lie to themselves and say they must reflect Jesus by being more ‘caring’ and more ‘accommodating’.

The world’s largest Southern Baptist university, Baylor, on Tuesday dropped language in its sexual misconduct policy that disciplined those who engaged in homosexual acts, a change the socially conservative school said better reflects its values as “a caring community.”  Baylor has removed “homosexual acts” as a punishable offense in its sexual misconduct policy, an official said. However, The policy continues to mandate disciplinary action for sexual assault, incest, adultery and fornication.”

Anyone catch the disconnect with logic there?  Adultery and fornication are still mandated for disciplinary action, but homosexual sex – putting a penis in a man’s rectum is “caring” and not punishable?

The Southern Baptists for crying out loud!

And this Because money trumps truth and because this people WANT to believe the lie. This people will NOT risk persecution.  The church in America WILL NOT endure persecution with their faith intact exactly as I was shown in myself when confronted with it overseas.

Even now – Christians surrender their faith and principles before any real pain is visited!   The mere threat of punishment is enough to cause Christians to surrender and submit, then run to scripture to justify the surrender!  You are witnessing The Great falling Away.  Truth is now evil and wrong.  Evil is now good and wrong is decreed to be right. But what you see is just the tip of the iceberg now being prepared against those of us who disagree with elite consensus.

You and I brethren live in a totalitarian dictatorship whether we recognize it or not.  People disagree with me on this definition, they insist we simply have Authoritarians in control.   Not so.  There is a difference between the two as pointed out in my last blog entry: The New Totalitarians

Simply put, authoritarians merely want obedience, while totalitarians, whose rule is rooted in an ideology, want obedience and conversion. Authoritarians are a dime a dozen; totalitarians are rare.  The authoritarians are the guys in charge who want to stay in charge, and don’t much care about you, or what you’re doing, so long as you stay out of their way. Totalitarians are a different breed. These are the people who have a plan, who think they see the future more clearly than you or who are convinced they grasp reality in a way that you do not. They want obedience, of course. But even more, they want their rule, and their belief system, to be accepted and self-sustaining. And the only way to achieve that is to create a new society of people who share those beliefs, even if it means bludgeoning every last citizen into enlightenment. That’s what makes totalitarians different and more dangerous: they are “totalistic” in the sense that they demand a complete reorientation of the individual to the State and its ideological ends. Every person who harbors a secret objection, or even so much as a doubt, is a danger to the future of the whole project, and so the regime compels its subjects not only to obey but to believe.

Brethren this is where America has arrived.  We are become no different than the Germans of 1933-45, and horrors you cannot imagine are being planned.    It is NOT just Obama – but the entire Democrat-Leftists spectrum of evil now in charge of everything in this country. Don’t believe me?    Consider that we have already exterminated an entire generation of Americans in the womb for the convenience of having sex outside marriage without consequences because the Supreme Court ruled women had a right to murder their baby.   Why should we be surprised that the government now ruling us has implemented what will become relocation pogroms?  Will the church be as indifferent to this as it was to abortion mills and advocate groups selling aborted baby parts and organs?  I am not hopeful.

But let’s continue with the comparison.  Nazis forced Jews out of homes for the good of the state.  Pol Pot forced everyone out of the cities to slave on farms .  Mao forced everyone into the cities so they can be controlled.  Obama is now ordered the same thing – under the guise of ‘racial and wealth diversity’.  Tyranny is always imposed for the ‘good’ of the people.

Obama Introduces New Rules to Desegregate Every Neighborhood In America: cities and towns are now required to look for patterns of racial bias in local housing,  and publicly report the results and set goals to reduce wealthy white majorities in neighborhoods.  Julian Castro, secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development said  “This is the most serious effort that HUD has ever undertaken to do that, I believe that it’s historic.” 

This is a plan they have been working on since 2009 to eradicate the Suburbs and “Cleanse” the rural countryside – which they say must revert to it’s ‘undisturbed natural habitat’. Some point to Agenda 21 of the UN as the pretext for this.  Whatever it is, genocide and ghettos are coming folks.  The evidence is hiding in plain sight, right in front of you.  What is being followed is a Blueprint for how Marxist/Socialist Totalitarian societies exterminate entire segments of their population.

How could we celebrate a country that is devolving into something even worse than pagan Rome or Nazi Germany???  Are we just going to sit here and party on?  Thomas Jefferson answered that question, he said:

“I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is Just, and His Justice cannot sleep forever”. 

No brethren – Justice is coming.  So is vengeance. But before that – tribulation for those of us who refuse to submit to what is coming – indeed it is AT OUR DOOR. The question for you is not whether you comply or resist. The question for you is whether you will resist or endure to the point of punishment and death with your faith intact.

We shouldn’t have celebrated a liberty we have allowed to be lost – We should GRIEVE for our betrayal of the trust given to us by God.   Grieve over the sins of this nation, and GRIEVE over the tyranny that we have helped erect over us by our indifference and our inaction as body.   We should Grieve over wickedness of the nation, because if we do not grieve now –   –  we are going to grieve when millions of our countrymen are  buried in mass graves and our children are stacked up like cordwood.

Some of you folks are wondering why I am discussing politics rather than our usual intensive study of the scriptures. I have discussed politics as a matter of setting the table so that the scriptures I am about to give you will have us reflect upon their timeliness for us today, right now. I want to show you that the bible is relevant to your everyday world – not just for those who want to play church.

You might be disinterested in politics, but you better understand that politics is interested in you.  To ignore it, is to accept and condone it – and eventually it overcomes and subjugates you.  But see – most do not want to consider the ugly truth, or look into what God says about the sin of the land.

I set the table as it were because God asks where the grief is over the sins of this land? Should we not sigh and cry over all the abominations being done around us?  Consider what God says in the scriptures about a nation of His People in the midst of wickedness and the onus He places on His Servants living in the midst of it.

Jeremiah 6:10 -18 

To whom can I speak and give warning?   Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear.  The word of the Lord is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it. But I am full of the wrath of the Lord, and I cannot hold it in.  “Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it,and the old, those weighed down with years. Their houses will be turned over to others, together with their fields and their wives, when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land,” declares the Lord. “From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush!  So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them,” says the Lord.

This is what the Lord says:“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ I appointed watchmen over you and said, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But you said, ‘We will not listen.’ Therefore hear, you nations; you who are witnesses, observe what will happen to them. Hear, you earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.  

Verse 26  Put on sackcloth, my people,and roll in ashes; mourn with bitter wailing as for an only son, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.

The Destroyer is at Hand for America brethren.  But we are stuck in a Normalcy Bias of complacency – refusing to see what is happening around us and what it will portend for us and our children.

I am often told when giving these warnings “Those verses are not my Jesus, Not my God!” they say “He does not expect us to mourn and wail, but to rejoice!  To be Glad In Him!”  “You preach the angry God of the Old Testament Who is done away!”  How illiterate such brethren have allowed themselves to become!  Have they never read John 1: 1-3 and verse 14?  Do they not know Jesus WAS the God of the Old Testament?  We so desperately want to see God as a happy Grandfather in the sky, we refuse to see Him as a loving Father who is angry beyond measure at the amount of trouble we are bringing upon ourselves.

When catastrophe happens, when evil rises – Christians in America are complacent and the only thing Christians will do in this society when disaster strikes is light candles and pray.  What about standing up and fighting back?  Oh no!  That is Extremist.  That is not what Jesus would do!  Oh really????   When Goliath came against Israel did King Saul or David call for a prayer meeting and a candlelight vigil??  No.  I think when God’s Armies were insulted, five smooth stones were fetched from a riverbed for a purpose that Christians today think God never approved of.

AMOS 6: 1-7

Woe to you who are complacent in Zion, and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria, you notable men of the foremost nation,to whom the people of Israel come!   You put off the day of disaster and bring near a reign of terror.   You lie on beds adorned with ivory and lounge on your couches.  You dine on choice lambs and fattened calves.  You strum away on your harps like David and improvise on musical instruments.  You drink wine by the bowlful and use the finest lotions, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.     Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile; your feasting and lounging will end.

Brethren – our prosperity and blessing from the Lord is at an end.  It’s over.  Get that through your skulls.  When the next 9-11 or worse hits us, God is NOT going to come to our rescue.

“Jesus will always save us!” you might be screaming at yourself.   Oh really?  God is ALWAYS going to save us from calamity?  Try telling that to our brethren in India or Christians in Mosul or in Syria – oh wait – there are no more Christians in Mosul – they have all been exterminated and are being run out of the country.  How can we lie to ourselves that such things cannot happen to us as it does for brethren who are more faithful in the face of trials and persecution than most of us have ever faced?  God has every reason to forsake us – since we forsook Him as a nation and threw Him out of our culture, our Schools and our Courts.

Proverbs 1:24-32

But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand, since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you— when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,when distress and trouble overwhelm you. “Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me,  since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord. Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;

We are being destroyed brethren.  Only 10% of Americans know what the 1st Amendment protects.  Did you know that?  According to CNS news, Only 19 percent of American adults know that the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights guarantees the freedom of religion, according to a new survey by the Newseum Institute.  Only 10 percent know the First Amendment guarantees the freedom of the press.    And 33 percent of Americans have no idea at all what rights the First Amendment guarantees.

Hosea 4:6 

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Those are scary words if you meditate on them.  HIS people are destroyed because they reject knowledge and instead destroy their history and heritage to accept wicked knowledge and falsehood disguised as enlightenment.  God says He will reject US from being HIS Priests.  I see that application to us every bit as much as it applied to Ancient Judah. I see these verses as having application to us, a former Spiritual Nation of Israel.

That is what Pastor John Cotton decreed the Mayflower Pilgrims to be when he prayed as they set sail from England. I bet most of you never knew that is what the Pilgrims understood they were establishing on these shores.

God directed my attention to this following verse – and this is why I was urging lamentation and grieving over the 4th – because I think this is what has been declared against us by The Lord God Almighty in the Third Heaven:

Ezekiel 9:3-11

Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side and said to him, “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.”  As I listened, he said to the others, “Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion.  Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the old men who were in front of the temple.

BEGIN AT MY SANCTUARY GOD SAYS.  God told those charged with slaughtering the wicked to BEGIN at the Church – Our Lord’s House!  Why would God tell them to start at HIS SANCTUARY??   Because they were charged by God to keep the society on the moral path and to uphold God’s Laws.  Instead those in Jerusalem perverted it and partook in grievous evil while paying lip service to God.

Of interest to us is that our Founders wrote that it was THE CHURCH in America that was responsible for keeping the culture upright. We have allowed the nation to become perverted and did not stand up against evil when we should have.  Brethren, this charge falls on us today.  We FAILED in the same way those in Judah did!  So the persecution that is coming is part of the Judgment the Lord will pronounce upon us.  And do not think you are going to get raptured us out of here before we suffer the consequences we have sown as a people.  Did The Lord save all your brethren in Syria and Iraq and Egypt from horrors you cannot even wrap your mind around??

No.  Understand that we did not love liberty enough to stand up for it beyond lip service as a body, so it has been taken from us because of our complacency and indifference to evil.

Into tribulation we go, and it will come from the hand of our own people. This people has decreed that they will not be governed by God, so instead we will be ruled by the tyranny of men.

And there is no getting liberty back. Not by voting, not by calling your politician, not by writing the hacks in Washington.  Not by protests or Article V conventions (If they do not follow the Constitution now, how can anyone think they will follow any new Amendments added to it?) It’s called tyranny for a REASON.  The rulers are a law only unto themselves!

Repentance was our only chance at staving off judgment. – but the churches in this country by and large will not allow such things to be discussed among their members.  They do not want to hear it.  They did not want to hear about mission work – neither do they want to hear about programs to help those with porn addiction.   In such conditions liberty cannot be regained, and that is not just my assessment – but a Founding Father’s as well:

Your Description of the Distresses of the worthy Inhabitants of Boston, and the other Sea Port Towns, is enough to melt an Heart of stone. Our Consolation must be this, my dear, that Cities may be rebuilt, and a People reduced to Poverty, may acquire fresh Property: But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. When the People once surrender their share in the Legislature, and their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it. – John Adams July 7th, 1775 Letter to Abigail

I believe he was prophetic here – plus he was making that statement based on history, human nature and the scriptures by which he was intensely devoted to studying. WE CAN NEVER REGAIN IT.  If we reject a gift from God – how can we expect Him to hand us another one just like it?

Persecution is coming brethren – indeed it is already being institutionalized.  It is NOT enough that we obey our overlords in DC and the wicked mob who empower it – we must be forced to LOVE and make their utopia OUR GOD – or we must be punished and eradicated.  They will erase our entire existence and indeed they have PLANNED to do this!

You can’t work out a truce with tyrants. You can either give in or stand up to them. There’s nothing else. Do you not see what has been set up against us?  That the entire nation has been turned against biblical faith and adherence, that it has been turned against the wealthy?  That is has been turned against it’s own history and heritage?  Turned against those of declared ‘privilege’?  That it is being invaded by third world squatters and our enemies abroad are being armed at your expense?

Obama and the oligarchy in Washington have made a pathway to citizenship for Mexican Reconquinistas.  They have made a pathway to settle Middle Eastern Muslims from Somalia to Syria throughout the country.  They have made a pathway for ghetto thugs to be housed in your neighborhood.  They have made a pathway for criminals to be released into society.  They have made a pathway to governing every minuscule aspect of your life at the same time they have opened the gates to the pathway for civil strife and conflict.  And now they have made a pathway for Iran to develop nuclear weapons and ICBM delivery systems, all at YOUR expense.  Does anyone here know what a Trojan Horse is?  No – it is not just computer malware.  It is the means by which a people welcome the agents of their own annihilation to be placed within their gates.

The Colonists were wise to consider the fact that they suffered the tyranny of the Crown for their sins as a people.  It is why the church pulpits during the 1750’s and 60’s were ablaze with messages of repentance, and it was from those same pulpits that the fire of liberty was stoked and the move towards Independence carried as a torch throughout the colonies.

Today we show our foolishness in refusing to consider we suffer Obama and the tyranny of our own government due to our national sins as a people.  Since the church refused to stoke a fire of repentance in the land for our culture – a torch is being brought against us to consume the nation.

The fires of civil strife are springing up all around us – not just in Ferguson, MO or Baltimore.  The media with subtle aid from our overlords and the Leftist apparatchiks are lighting the fuses of civil strife and violence:

 Obama’s Progressive America: Politico Calls for Ethnic, Cultural Cleansing of Southern Whites
“Northern progressives who joke about the U.S. jettisoning “Jesusland” and merging with Canada will not get their wish. But there is  hope: A combination of demographic change and generational change is weakening the ability of the old-fashioned South to skew American politics and culture in the future.  ”Minus the South, the rest of the U.S. probably would be more like Canada or Australia or Britain or New Zealand—more secular, more socially liberal, more moderate in the tone of its politics and somewhat more generous in social policy.  White Southerners are more likely than white northerners to respond to insults with increased testosterone and aggression, according to social scientists. According to the FBI in 2012, the South as a region, containing only a quarter of the population, accounted for 40.9 percent of U.S. violent crime.”

In short, the zeitgeist spreading throughout the country says that White Americans are MONSTERS that “must be dealt with if we hope to become a better society.  This is not limited to skin color, but also to the Christian faith.

CNN’s Sally Kohn offered yesterday the following remarks when discussing the Daily Beasts headline article The New Post-Homophobic Christianity – “Should anti-gay Christians be politically, socially and culturally ostracized? Should they be criminalized?   I sure hope so”.  

Genocides are built on this kind of rhetoric and the zeitgeist is rapidly growing and accelerating at the behest of the Ruling Class. There is no exception to history that when the ruling class of a people demonize specific group of people and their culture – that populace is subjugated and then eradicated. The demonization is done for the purpose of getting the larger society to applaud the removal of those the Ruling Class has targeted.  Every Marxist revolution requires blood in the streets and suffering in order for the people to applaud the iron fist to bring order.

The math is not hard folks.  Obama and the Left are drawing all evil to themselves.  They ally with our avowed enemies, they arm them, enable them and sow division and discord among us here at home.  A nation in civil strife is more easily destroyed from outside once it is sufficiently weakened from within.

Obama is Judgment upon us for our sins.  I am convinced He is The Destroyer.  He is suddenly upon us – and I fear for the faith to endure amongst us.  The time of tribulation is come for us now brethren.  There is no stopping it.

You cannot reason with it.  You cannot negotiate with it.  It will force you to comply, it will force you to surrender your faith – or you cannot make a living.  You will be enticed to surrender and love the regime for the mere promise of bread, and your neighbors will willingly turn you over for the same.   If you refuse – you are going to be punished.  It is already happening and we just sit here and give thanks that is not us.     Niemoller’s proverb on full display here now in America.

If Matthew 24 plays out here as I am thinking it will, you are going to be arrested, jailed, tortured and killed.  You and your families, your kids and grandkids.  This government has already categorized Conservative Christians in official documents as domestic terrorists. Look at how they empowered the IRS to destroy Conservative and Christian groups.

Understand that the life most of our brethren in the 3rd world have lived under is now come here to the USA.  ‘Start at MY Sanctuary” sayeth the Lord’. Read Matthew 24. It’s not pretty, but Jesus told us what will happen to His followers in the Last Days.   But we are are not ready to endure it.  I learned that painful lesson myself.  And if Judgment and horror and captivity are coming then we must trust in God and His Christ no matter what is horrors are happening around us or to us.  Do not lose your faith.  The Kingdom of God is at hand.

Matthew 10:21-33  

Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Satan, how much more will they malign you who are of his household? So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.  Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

The time is upon us where we are going to be asked or demanded to deny God, His Son, His Word – and follow “The Law” whatever that “law” says we must bow down to and obey.  Romans 13 will be thrown in your face as a justification to endorse and condone sin, or you will suffer consequences.  Your fiery furnace of Tribulation will have arrived.

Will you deny Yeshua by relenting and accepting the mark of their beast in your thoughts and then in your actions because you want to avoid being tortured into loving the state?  Do you think you can remain silent and just hide who you are supposed to be?  Can you put your light under a bushel to avoid persecution and still shine the light of the Gospel?  Hoping and praying that they overlook you?  Or are you going to stand up – acknowledge and proclaim the Lord before these wicked men and women REGARDLESS of the consequences?  Are you courageous, or a coward?  Be honest when you ask yourself this.  Will you bow down, or will you refuse – believing that God is strong enough to save you – but even if He does not – YOU STILL will refuse to comply with evil??

I was shown that when push came to shove, as an American with no experience with what our brethren suffer every day – I would get angry at God, be a coward and fold like a cheap suit.  I’m ashamed I got angry with God because He did not rescue our brethren like I expected – and I have repented of thinking God operates within my American prosperity worldview.  I ask for courage to endure what is coming – not that I be saved out of it, because I do not believe all of us are going to be saved out of it.  I never believed in the Rapture.  I believe Jesus meant what He said in Matthew 24.

Our Place of Safety in the wilderness in this country has come to it’s end – and the flood of evil and wicked people are at our doors – and our eradication is their intent unless we deny the Father and the Son and go along to get along thinking the crocodile will eat us last.

This is the ugly truth brethren.  No one likes the truth these days – as Orwell wrote

“In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

We should be ashamed brethren at what we have allowed to be done to us.  Some have said to me that “The Founding Fathers would be rolling over in their graves”.  Very true, especially when their graves will be dug up and disposed of into mass unmarked trenches to satisfy the cleansing of our culture.   Our Second President already told us what he would do if we should betray the trust:

“Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.” – John Adams, April 1777 Letter to Abigail

I think that God Himself – is repenting that He made us a great nation, for even the church has been derelict in it’s commission and it’s duties in this country.  For this we should be ashamed  For this we should grieve.

Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin. 

America has been found wanting in the balances and the handwriting is on the wall.  Pray for forgiveness, give thanks – and ask God to bless us with endurance, our time has come.

We must remember Romans 8:28 tells us All things work out for good – even horrors, and most of the time as we suffer – we cannot see that reality.  But if we rehearse it in our minds, knowing what Christ has told us in advance – our chance of enduring with our faith intact via strength from The Holy Spirit will see us doing Isaiah 58:1, proclaiming The Lord against a wicked and perverse generation and that steadfast commitment will take us into the Kingdom of God.

Lines Are Being Drawn – The Time For Talk Is Over

Civil war or subjugation?  Obama and the MarxoFascists push the nation into a stark choice.

Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Satan? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? – II Corinthians 6:14-15

Several weeks ago, I read an editorial posted at NC Renegade’s site from a veteran who sees this nation at the brink of impending war within itself.  The startling truth of what the vet had stated so calmly, without malice but with determination – left me unsettled since I read it.   It is a sober truth, one that few are willing to acknowledge.  I was reticent about linking to it, and even for me – the truth about what he posted was something I was unwilling to admit to myself.  The Normalcy Bias still has a grip on me in these evil days despite my own pessimism of our near future.

As I read that editorial, it evoked immediate sadness and a heart wrenching  over a truth I did not want to accept: America has reached the breaking point and it’s people are now hopelessly divided.  Divided to the point of resigning themselves to the formerly unthinkable in order to preserve what they cherish, in the face of those who are advocating the dismantling of our institutions and foundations that they see standing in their way.  I knew he spoke truth, and I recognize some people with wisdom, understand what time we have arrived at as a nation.  Written calmly, with regret and resignation – he and many, many like him – are preparing to do what must be done when that last mistake by tyrants is made.

In the weeks that have passed since I first read it, statements, writings, suggestions and visceral vocal hatreds made by those on the Progressive/Left against Christian Conservatives, the Constitution and liberty-minded Americans, have made that editorial’s recognition of reality self-evident.  I did not really want to believe the civil society had broken down to the point of separation or war.   The White House petitions for secession and the vitriol in response, were merely the first real outward signs that the body politic is no longer willing to abide one another.  Indeed, there are those advocating we forcibly strip away or ignore the very bulwarks of the civil society in favor of what Obama and the Progressive/MarxoFascists will impose upon us.

It is those rantings of the “progressives’ and Marxofascists against those in opposition to the Left’s actions in the last several weeks, that confirms what the Veteran already understood; the time to water the tree of liberty may be near at hand.   Like someone who was diagnosed with a terminal disease, I have passed the points of disbelief, denial, and anger – into acceptance of where I did not wish to believe this nation stood.

Obama and the ‘Progressive’ Left in America lecture that there are Two America’s – coined from a speech given in 2004 by disgraced Democrat Adulterer John Edwards.  Those Two Americas he outlined were The Haves and the Have Nots.  Right thinking Americans understand those Two Americas to be the Makers and the Takers.  The Left sees them as the Evil Rich of White Privilege, and the Disenfranchised Minorities.

Middle and Conservative America made the mistake of assuming such rhetoric was considered nonsense by the majority.  A mistake that may yet prove fatal.  Not only did the Progressive/Liberal/Left believe in Two Americas – they went into a cold war with the America many of us on the Right believed in. This is one reason why the Left is so willing to empower government to punish, penalize and eventually eradicate the ‘other America’.  An America that they consider to be evil, racist, rich, white, intolerant, bigoted and detrimental to the planet.  An America they suggest needs to be ‘replaced‘, ‘ignored” and ‘changed’ and certain of it’s people ‘silenced‘, ‘rounded up and jailed‘ or ‘summarily executed in their homes’ and Republican politicians chained to pickup trucks and dragged around a parking lot – mockingly suggestive in half-joking humor.

Given this rhetoric of late from the Obama media and Leftist talking heads, I now believe we are past the point of peaceably co-existing alongside the Progressive/Liberal/Left ideology  in America.  They are going to force their ideology upon us at the end of a government gun – or we are going to resist with our own guns.  There is seemingly no other outcome at this point.  

Such rhetoric from the Obama Progressive Left – as I’ve linked to – establishes the hard fact of what I just stated.  They publish and broadcast such vileness with impunity, inciting their comrades to support government tyranny upon those they are opposed.  Imagine the insane uproar and calls for arrests and imprisonment if Limbaugh or Beck or some Conservative pundit suggested Democrat politicians be dragged across parking lots until they change their views or that liberal citizens should be summarily executed in their homes.  But the Left continues to spew such hate and make suggestive Brownshirt-level thuggeries and intimidations – with nary a harsh rebuttal.

We must understand: MarxoFascists are hell-bent in their woeful ignorance and malice, upon plundering, punishing and subjugating the America and Americans they loathe and hate.

We cannot exist peaceably alongside such ideologues, these self-proclaimed ‘Progressives’ because they will not live and let live or leave well enough alone.  They do not trust their neighbors with liberty or freedom or possession.  They see the Constitution as the cause of our national problems and those who revere it as ‘cultists‘.  They only trust themselves, and the government they empower to redistribute what they deem to be fair.  Dare to question them, their hypocrisy and their agenda – they will have their minions rough you up:

But it is much worse than just an ideology whose pig-Latin Motto is “Gibsmedat!”  To read and hear them now, is nothing short of the kinds of rhetoric an obsessed party has for a Socialist dictator ranting against his political enemies.  The willingness of so many to empower government into a tyranny in order to subjugate their countrymen and neighbors to accept ideals anathema to our national and religious foundations is no longer in doubt.  In fact, the longer Americans are willing to allow the Progressives and Leftists in America to continue to war upon our foundations without stopping them cold, the more certain liberty as we have known it – will be eliminated.  Of course, that is their goal.

I have read of these moments before in history, when it becomes pointless to appeal to common sense and reason from such ideologues. They are entrenched upon imposing their ideology inasmuch as Conservative Constitutionalists are resolved to resist them.  When one side refuses to relent it’s imposition, and the other side – if it compromises any further – surrenders itself to subjugation, an impasse exists that ultimately leads to conflict.  A moment arrives where there is but two choices left a people: submission to tyranny and slavery, or resisting by force of arms to the death.

We are very near to that last moment if it is not already upon us.

Winston Churchill noted, there is but a window of time to stop madness before the cost in blood is more than a people can bear.  A people unwilling to fight when the cost is minimal will cost them everything later on.  Should that window of time pass without effort to rectify evil when it is easily defeated, there comes a time when a feeble resistance to preserve one’s own life or to live in subjugation, is all that is left a people.  And then, even that becomes futility.

We are now in that window of time.

There is no possibility of co-existing alongside the Progressive Left in America today.  They do not seek to co-exist.  They seek to shame and ridicule.  They seek to dominate and subjugate.  They seek to intimidate – which is why the MarxoFascists tell us that disarming us is a ‘fait accompli’ because they possess and control drones that can kill us from 20,000 feet up without risk to themselves.  A declaration of tyranny in itself to assert we are powerless against them. That subtle suggestion should rock every American to their core that such people would so casually advocate military air power be used on citizens.  To the Leftist, such is merely the means to an end, and perfectly justifiable since they see the Conservative Right and their bitter clinging ways as a danger to them.

It should not surprise us, for that is the nature of the ‘Progressive’ ideology.  Same as it is for the nature of sin itself.  As the Apostle Paul wrote – “a little leaven leavens the whole lump” (Galatians 5:9) –   Sin is never content to sit alongside righteousness. It will ALWAYS work to eradicate and subjugate morality and redefine it in order to justify sin’s dominance.  Likewise the nature of Progressive/Liberal/MarxoFascists will never be content to sit alongside the America they despise.  They are working to eradicate and subjugate it, redefining morality to justify their dominance, and using newspeak to get the low information person to go along with great-sounding platitudes of their Big Lies.  All in the name of the Children, or Safety, or common sense, or intellect.  Genocides begin under such societies.

For they will demonize, ridicule and openly declare their hatred of Conservative/Constitutional Americans, and Southern White Christian Males.  They demand we surrender our rights and principles, bow down to their king, embrace their evil hedonism, submit ourselves to government and allow ourselves to be disarmed.  They encourage their president to act as dictator, to ignore the rule of law and impose his will by fiat.  They have perverted the law and the courts to their will.   They ally themselves with our Jihadist enemies, decry Christendom and shove abomination by force of law down our throats and into our faces.  They openly call for the deaths of those Americans asserting their God-granted and Constitutionally-protected Rights and gleefully suggest the subjugation of entire areas of the country where Progressive/Liberal MarxoFascism is eschewed. They call for the abolishment of the Constitution and suggest that those who oppose them and the fundamental transformation of our society are committing treason.

White, “Christian” and Treasonous: Who Will They Kill?

A bunch of far right white mostly southern paranoid extremists are preparing for armed revolution and apocalypse. They speak treason: literally….Let’s talk about racism and white Southern males who can’t get with the program. Let’s talk about what’s really going on with “gun rights,” which has nothing to do with hunting or home protection or even the Second Amendment, but has everything to do with the delusional paranoia of people who really believe the world is out to get them because it’s changing from white to brown, from homophobic to tolerant, from exclusionary to inclusionary, from anti-woman to pro-woman.

With the evidence of those positions made manifest, how then can anyone think  that those of us whom they declared enemies, continue to co-exist alongside such people?  What do we have in common any longer?  It is clear we do not define liberty or freedom in the same way.

“The founders may have disagreed on many things, but they agreed on the meaning of liberty: the right to live as an individual, without centralized planning infringing basic property rights, economic opportunities, and religious freedoms. Obama’s fundamental redefinition of liberty to include communitarianism is not merely wrong, it spells the end of the political commonality that has held the fabric of the nation together. If we define liberty differently, then there is nothing to talk about: my liberty is your tyranny, and vice versa. Our goals can never be shared. That gap can never be bridged.“

I think a large number of those whom signed petitions for Secession understand this fact.  Only one side is going to prevail in this fight: tyrannical Leftist/Socialist government and secular hedonists – or individual Constitutionalists, biblical Christians and Libertarians.  The latter already defined by this government as being domestic terrorists and a danger to the nation.  Clearly this regime in power and it’s supporters see us as a larger danger to their power and safety than from Jihadists.

Since that is the obvious case, there is no point in remaining a united nation.   No point in pretending we are all Americans with a shared sense of core values.   No point in accommodating and affording time, space or opportunity for the Progressive Left’s viewpoints in our realms of ownership and influence.  No point in maintaining friendships or communication with those who see us as terrorists and would happily see us rounded up, imprisoned and eliminated.  It is time to separate, defy and ignore those who would impose themselves upon us and the edicts and decrees they make.

Can a sheep in this age really think it can lie down with the lion and not end up in the belly of the beast?

Some Americans already understand where we have arrived.  They see no need to serve or assist Progressive Leftists in their own destruction.  Some are firing employees who support the regime.  Ending friendships, partnerships, business and correspondence with those who support the liberal/Left/Marxist ideology.  They no longer wish to read, hear or see what the Progressive Leftists/Statists have to say about anything any longer.  While the Left continues to ridicule, demonize and castigate the Constitutional Right, Conservatives are becoming quiet, receding from engagement and going ‘Galt’.  An unsettled calm is emerging, the ‘deep breath before the plunge’ mimicking shades of what I have read existed in early 1860-61.  Meanwhile the Left thinks they have won and now dominate the public square in discourse with increasing disdain and overreach – while Conservatives are furiously but quietly preparing for a much feared outcome.

The stark truth of understanding where we have arrived is what the veteran was resigning himself to knowing; there is no further possibility of peaceably co-existing with the Progressive Left.  To do so, leavens the entire lump.  The time for talk is over.  There can be no peace with such people and their ideology if God is our Sovereign and liberty our unalienable gift.  Our only choice is going to be submission to slavery and eventual eradication – or resisting by every and all manners, up to and including deadly force – to the death.  Patrick Henry understood that also and gave an impassioned sermon at the House of Burgesses over nearly the same exact issues, one that should echo in our minds and hearts.

What our forbears understood when faced with the same situation some 238 years ago – was that submission to the “Legal” authority being forced upon them was breaking the First Commandment of the Lord, by allowing a king and his government to legislate and replace God as their sovereign.  Galatians 5:1 became the rallying scripture for Independence, and likewise now for our generation – Americans who cherish the liberty enshrined for us by Almighty God will have a duty to resist and throw off those who would become our evil masters once they make their last mistake.

In fact, this duty is the actionable clause in the Declaration of Independence which states:

when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

As the veteran has steeled himself to prepare for the inevitable, I too have resigned myself to accept that the Progressive/MarxoFascist Left will make that last mistake – and it will then become our duty to act as the Declaration states.  As Jefferson wrote and I paraphrase for this generation:

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our liberal Progressive Countrymen. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by the legislatures to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of our Constitutional Rights and historical heritage. We have appealed to their sense of logic, justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common nationality to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our union. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

The editorial from the Vet is essentially saying the same, exact thing Jefferson, Adams and Franklin wrote above.  It comes down to the fact that a free people can no longer abide those who are working to fundamentally transform their nation, and in the process – rob them of their unalienable rights, their wealth and eventually their freedom and their lives.

All that is left is to defend ourselves against them, and for many in America – they are preparing for that need, not IF – but WHEN.  You might see this essay as nonsense and pooh-pooh the conclusions, but Americans are not breaking records buying guns and ammo to hunt rabbits and squirrels. They KNOW the Obama regime and it’s Alphabets are also stocking up on hollow point ammunition in the BILLIONS of rounds and arming their police and alphabet agencies.  I fear a bloodbath in the model of the French is in our very near future.  But the choice is either to live as slaves and be eliminated by the MarxoFascists and the State – or to resist them.

There is a time for everything under Heaven, including the unthinkable.

A Time to Kill

I am a soldier.  I know what war looks like, what it sounds like, smells like, what it feels like in my soul.

I stand today in the twilight of my nation’s grace, looking into the darkness of impending war.

My sleep is troubled, knowing what awaits, yet the ignorant and the ‘true believers’ sleep easily in their delusions, and I am saddened by it.

Daily, I see the Blackhawk and Apache helicopters flying over my city, the military vehicles which appear so frequently now on our roads, often with ‘guns up’ in violation of Posse Comitatus, and I know why they prepare, that it is not far off.

Nightly I hear the report of gunfire near my home, the noise angry men make as they prepare to boil over.  These are not soldiers – they are but angry men.  And though I share their well-justified anger, I am cautious with them, for they are not disciplined, and they know not the face of war, nor the burdens it imposes upon mind, body, and soul.  Because of this, they are dangerous, and I am saddened by this – that dangerous men should roam the streets near my home, full of anger and the lust for vengeance.

All about me are the ceaseless murmurs of soulless politicians and media propagandists, who wear their agendas on their sleeves as a badge of superiority, and the boundless echoes of their contrived ‘message’ assaults me from all sides, even repeated from the mouths of dear friends, and I am saddened by it.

I bear witness to the fact that throughout my lifetime, the lifeblood of my republic has been drained away by greedy and self-serving men, from high to low, who contrive nought but deception against their neighbors and countrymen, and who fail to consider that their children and mine shall share the same fate, the same future, and I am saddened by it.

But I am a soldier, and I know what must be done; and so I shall put away my sadness and I shall harness up the bitter steed of war, and gird myself up for the battle; and I shall ride out to meet the enemies of Liberty; not in rage, not for anger sake or the hope of vengeance; but because I swore an oath before God, to jealously guard our Republic and its Constitution against all enemies; Him I shall not disappoint, for He is my Hope and my Trust.

Therefore, as much as my soul laments against the harsh truth before me, I make this declaration to my enemies who press me into this battle, that none shall be able to afterwards say “I did not know, you did not warn me”;

I do not care why you took that job with the government, or why you continue to hold it.  I only know that you have become Judas and sold yourself to an oppressive state – your government office buildings and vehicles are part of the battlefield, and as a soldier I shall act accordingly.

I do not care why, as a journalist, you choose to spin and corrupt the news, rather than report the plain truth and let the people judge for themselves.  I only know that you have violated the public trust in the most vile and seditious manner, and thus your homes, offices, studios, vehicles, and any other place you may find yourself are part of the battlefield, and as a soldier I shall act accordingly.

I do not care why you signed that union card.  I only know that you pay dues to a communist organization which conducts treasonous works against my Republic daily – and so your union hall and your work-sites are part of the battlefield, and as a soldier I shall act accordingly.

I do not care that you only voted for the traitor because you are elderly/disabled or otherwise dependent upon government largess.  Are you so ignorant and/or disinterested that you could not see through their propaganda, to the fact that your sustenance was assured either way?  What have you gained now that the public housing areas you live in, and the public facilities you depend on are part of the battlefield?  Though I am a soldier, I can afford you little protection, for you have placed yourselves on the battlefield.

I know that all of these places andall of these people are part of the battlefield ,not just because I am a soldier, and have experienced a few battlefields in my day; but also because our President declares that even our own homes are on the battlefield, whether we wish them to be or not, and I have no choice but to believe him; it’s not just that the NDAA passed – a battlefield is not defined by law; it’s the profound build-up of martial power and resources across my once-great nation which tells me a battle is being prepared here.  Over two billion rounds of ammunition procured by DHS and its sub-agencies in the past 18 months, plus machine guns in the tens of thousands, armored vehicles, combat aircraft, drones, and other implements of war being staged throughout our nation, our home – how do you explain that except as the preparation for battle?

I will fight not because I desire it, but because I cannot justify any other course of action – when the enemy attacks, you must fight – you must kill or you will die.

I smell you, my enemy; I can feel the ambush you have laid for me and my true countrymen, all about like a sticky spider’s web, yet we will not back down, and though you will kill some of us, you will not get us all before we have finished with you.

I stand here, ready, on the eve of battle, and I ask God why I have been brough to the threshold of this battlefield, about to be thrust in, when I though my soldiering days were through; and I am reminded that there is by His decree, a Time to Kill, as well as a Time to Die…  who am I to question why?

 Saddle up, boys, it’s time to ride out and meet them.

 

Revolution? Line in the Sand Drawn

If there is one element missing from today’s liberty fight, it is the lack of participation from America’s pastors. By and large they are MIA. How many pastors today are warning their congregations of the threat against their Second Amendment liberties? Every pastor in America, regardless of denomination, should have already started proclaiming “the spirit of resistance” (Thomas Jefferson) to their church congregations; they should already be extolling the Biblical mandate to resist tyranny; they should already be warning their congregations of Barack Obama and Dianne Feinstein’s plan to disarm them.

Let me ask my church-going readers: has your pastor said one word from the pulpit regarding the impending gun ban now being drafted? Has your pastor explained the Biblical principles of lawful resistance? Has your pastor exhorted his church congregation to not surrender their firearms and to do everything in their power to demand that your senators and legislators hold the line for the Second Amendment? And my next question is if your pastor has not done any of this, why are you still attending that church?

‘Some of the Southern Areas Have Cultures that We Have to Overcome’

Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), speaking on “MSNBC Live” on Jan. 16 said that “some of the southern areas have cultures that we have to overcome” when it comes to gun control.

Southern Discomfort

Now the South is becoming isolated again. Every demographic and political trend that helped to reëlect Barack Obama runs counter to the region’s self-definition….The Solid South speaks less and less for America and more and more for itself alone…Southern political passions have always been rooted in sometimes extreme ideas of morality, which has meant, in recent years, abortion and school prayer…As its political power declines, the South might occupy a place like Scotland’s in the United Kingdom, as a cultural draw for the rest of the country, with a hint of the theme park.

CBS compares NRA and gun owners to Nazis

You may be spared execution

I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people that we can’t re-educate, that are diehard capitalists?”  And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated; and when I pursued this further they estimated that they would have to eliminate twenty-five million people in these re-education centers — and when I say “eliminate,” I mean kill; twenty-five million people….  And they were dead serious.

And due the above – it appears I am not the only one making a similar acknowledgment today:

Will You Submit & Obey?

The moment is at hand. We will either stand up and be reckoned with as free men – or we will sit down forever and accept any degradation, any humiliation. And in that case, we shall have proved worthy of such treatment. Future generations will look upon us with the same mixture of incomprehension and contempt that our generation looked upon those who meekly lined up naked in queue for their turn at the edge of the pit. Because it will come to that, in time.

As Populist Socialism Rises A Class War Bloodbath Looms

The “99 Percent OWS” are really the “35 Percent” but the hordes of Useful Idiots are growing

“The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If ‘Thou shalt not covet’ and ‘Thou shalt not steal’ were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free.” –John Adams, 1787

I remember my Brother-In-Law’s father telling us the tale of what it was like to grow up during the waning days of the Weimar Republic, and the onset of Hitler coming to power.

One of the things he noted, was that among the majority thinking of Germans during the early 1930’s, was that Hitler and his Nazis were a fringe minority of malcontents that they needed not worry about.  They had faith their fellow German citizens would see through his insanity and relegate him and his National Socialist Workers Party to the ash heap of relevance.

He called them brigands, rioters, trouble-makers and accusers.  He said they were people from largely wealthy station or middle class means that sought a perverted revenge for the economic woes they suffered as the global depression deepened, and they chose Hitler’s vision for a return to ‘fairness’ in Germany rather than the subtle efforts of the Communists.

As our Founders noted, revolutions happen when a tireless minority continue to set brushfires in people’s minds.  And while a majority of Germans rejected Hitler, the tireless minority set fires both figural, and literal.

It can be a good thing when those brushfires are rooted in a biblical and civil morality that puts the Law of God and natural law on a pinnacle to be obtained, but horrifying when those brushfires are rooted in jealousy, greed, vengeance and the desire to rule.  The tireless minority setting such brushfires can easily overthrow a civil society, and in fact that was the case in Russia, China and yes – in 1930’s Germany.

Hitler was written off  by the majority as relevant when he lost 2 bids for the German Presidency in 1932 to Paul Von Hindenburg.  An overwhelming majority of Germans, near 70% – rejected Hitler and his Nazi ideology in the first election.  Sadly, Hindenburg did not receive a majority percentage so a runoff between the top 3 was held a month later – and Hitler lost almost as badly in the run-off election.

Hitler seemed finished politically.  But the German people underestimated what Hitler’s intentions for the German Republic actually were.  Hindenburg’s appointed Chancellor Franz Von Pappen was, if anything – a stooge for the Nazi’s.  He dissolved the Reichstag and called for new congressional elections.  It was during those legislative elections that Hitler’s plan to take over Germany under totalitarian rule were put into full motion.

The Nazis went to work organizing protests and rallies in the streets.  Chaos was stoked and violence spread from one city to the next, until martial law had to be declared in Berlin itself.  The chaos and violence had it’s desired effect: The Nazi party won 230 seats in the Reichstag, and while they never gained a majority – the chaos that ensued in the Reichstag ensured that Hindenburg could not get a majority coalition to pass any legislation.  With the Nazis holding positions in the cabinet, consolidating power by using the threat of violence was an easy task.  Hindenburg caved to the minority Nazi populists – and appointed Hitler as Chancellor in order to appease the growing riots in the streets.

Why the history lesson?

Because while Conservatives and most Americans today disregard the hippie OWS crowds and think Obama is finished politically with his low poll numbers, history shows that similar demagogues with a desire to ‘fundamentally transform’ a society, often can and do succeed in overthrowing the civil society and establish a horrifying tyranny.

Socialists who are in a clear minority of a society, achieve their ends by always using street chaos and protests to invite and incite violence.  That is what the Occupy Wall Street movement is all about, and history screams a clear warning when such crowds and protests are stoked by their handlers for the purpose of achieving a political transformation.  We ignore these facts at our own individual peril.

I have stated on this blog since 2008, that the Marxists and Leftists who make up the Obama regime and the Ruling Class would invite, instigate and incite violence in order to establish the cause for iron-fisted rule that a majority would accept in order to ‘return things to normal’.

Mark Alexander from the Patriot Post, excellently makes the point we must regard with all seriousness:

Populist Socialism on the Rise

The populist message of the Occupy Movement, the agelessly adolescent class warriors who make up Barack Hussein Obama’s Red October Uprising, now has the support of some 35 percent of Americans, mostly urbanites.

The Occupiers have now infested cities from coast to coast, including Oakland, Seattle,Denver, Austin, Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore,New York and Boston.

Their mantra is simple (by necessity): “We are the 99 Percent, and we’re all victims of the 1 Percent.” By any objective standard, the 99 Percenters are not the brightest bunch, and they really represent the roughly 20 percent of Americans who are irrevocably dependent upon government subsidies and pay no income tax. Thus, this 20 percent has no vested interest in the cost of government and is predisposed to vote for the redistribution of others’ incomes rather than work for their own. The underlying assumption is that it’s easier to confiscate wealth than create it.

This “entitled” 20 percent combines with the 10 percent of American labor who are collectivists and another 5 percent who are perpetual malcontents to thus form Barack Hussein Obama’s entrenched socialist constituency of Useful Idiots.

The intellectually challenged Occupy morons have built their movement around the errant assertion that if the assets of the 1 Percent were entirely redistributed, everyone would live happily ever after. Unfortunately, what the 35 Percenters really want, “redistributive justice” as Obama calls it, would require the redistribution of income from the other 65 percent of Americans families who live on earned income, so that everyone could be equally impoverished.

Of course, there’s a problem with liquidating the assets of the 1 percent (comprised of more celebs and pro athletes than Wall Street bankers), or even the top 25 percent of the so-called rich: Most of their assets are on paper, and the rest of that “wealth” is in the form of small businesses and real property that support the jobs of tens of millions of Americans who actually work for a living — and take pride in their occupations.

Thus, liquidation would result in the collapse of the entire economy, leaving everyone under the same statist tyranny as Obama’s 35 Percenters — equally miserable, equally dependent upon the government, and that much closer to Obama’s mandate to implement Democratic Socialism.

Fact is, socialist economies always fail. In the inimitable words of former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, “Socialist governments … always run out of other people’s money. They then start to nationalize everything.”

Of course, socialists never let reality intrude upon their classist fantasies of universal equality and happiness. Nineteenth-century historian Alexis de Tocqueville once observed, “Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”

If you have any doubt about the socialist motives of the Occupy Movement, consider this proclamation from my daily American Communist Party communiqué (yes, I subscribe to certain leftist publications, so, yes, I know my enemy): “We Are the 99%! The AFL-CIO has taken another step to embrace the Occupy Movement by creating their own We Are the 99% website. Also, CPUSA Chair Sam Webb has an article on the movement at the People’s World: ‘Occupy: embrace the new, build the movement.'”

Next, I suggest you review the official list of Occupy supporters, including Marxists, Nationalists, Fascists and even Islamists. What a sorry lot for a supporting cast.

Given all this, it’s not surprising that the Occupiers’ highest-profile support emanates from Obama himself, who says, “People are frustrated and the [Occupy] protesters are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration about how our financial system works. … I think it expresses the frustrations that the American people feel. … The American people understand that not everybody’s been following the rules. These days, a lot of folks doing the right thing are not rewarded. A lot of folks who are not doing the right thing are rewarded.”

As to the Occupy Movement’s momentum, Obama says their agenda “will express itself until 2012 and beyond until people feel they are getting back to old-fashioned American values. That’s going to express itself politically in 2012 and beyond.“

What Obama admits, is what I am warning you is taking place right before your eyes; the ‘expression’ of these OWS street protests will transcend to violence. And it is that violence and bloodshed that the Left wants so desperately in order to finalize the REAL change Obama seeks to implement.

Obama has a history fomenting and suggesting violence as a means to overturn elections.  He himself advised his cousin Raila Odinga to incite street violence in order to overturn the Kenyan election in 2006.

The Nazis were ALWAYS a minority in Germany, until street chaos, bloodshed and political subterfuge opened the door to compromise for the sake of ending the chaos.  Soon a climate a fear would allow genocide and a world war to be enacted in their names as they surrendered their society to a minority of Socialists playing a populist card.

History is knocking on OUR door, seeking a repeat in a new fashion that sadly, we no longer recognize the dangers of.

Useful Idiocy

 

The Occupy Wall Street/Days of Rage Protests showcase the imbecility that has enslaved a once free people.

INVAR

Regardless of the fact that overt Communists/Marxists and America-hating agendas are behind the organizing, funding and stoking of the US Days of Rage protests, it’s disconcerting to read how so many in this country actually side with the idea’s these protesters are promoting, when their ultimate aim is of making America a full-blown Communist dictatorship.

When I said in my previous entry that this absurd and romantic notion of a glorious ‘people’s revolution’ would ultimately make the French blush, I wasn’t being facetious.  America has been led to a place that Robspierre himself couldn’t have imagined.  An entire continent led to hate businesses, wealth and those who have been led to think they are entitled to the private wealth and property of others they think ‘stole it’ from them.  This is a dangerous zeitgeist beyond what existed in 1789 France, when The Terror struck at the behest of a stoked mob to hate the monarchy and anyone accused of having benefitted from the deposed regime.

What is more alarming to me, is watching the Ron Paul mob zombies/supporters/Libertarians rant in solidarity with the useful Marxist idiots chanting in the streets.  While the Ron Paul/Alex Jones acolytes will chant their mantra of blaming banks, Jews and the Fed for all the woe and misery that they need to be punished for –  the Leftists are chanting about hating the wealthy and demanding the rich whites and Conservatives need punishing while suggesting rewriting the Constitution to impose the planks of raw Communism.  Never before in our history has the liberty of the whole people been in such danger of being eliminated and replaced by tyranny.  Not even the 1860’s match the risk and precipice we now stand today.  And it will come by the demand of the mobs that demand the heads of those they have been brainwashed into hating.

Once such a bloodletting begins, I guarantee you – it will not stop at the current targets of ‘corporations’, ‘banks’, and ‘the Fed’.  It will grow to include ANYONE that is deemed to have benefitted from the society that this Communist-Marxist-stoked  uprising has deemed the enemy of the people.  You can read it on forum discussions already. Anyone who does not support the chosen path and political saviors the mob has decided to pledge themselves, are enemies that they will demand be punished, stripped and even killed.  This is human nature at it’s purest form.  This is the history of mankind.  And from the lessons of history, similar mobs led to hate the former foundations of civil society, and a miasma of strife and death followed.  I see rivers of blood coming, massive privation and misery being the fruits of what these mobs will bear.

Why do I call this useful idiocy?  Simple.  When gross corruption and unrighteousness have been institutionalized by the ruling class and tolerated by the working class, the clamor for correction and punishment when real misery is felt, is easily manipulated by the Ruling Class as the people search for someone and something to blame.

The Left blame Conservatives and Capitalism.  Ron Paul’s brigades blame the Feds and “neocons” with Capitalism being cited as totally corrupted by cronyism.  Both of them become united in going to war on those in “power”, though they might each blame different elements.  This happened in 1789 France. Blaming the Monarchy towards it’s overthrow transformed quickly into blaming the church, blaming the aristocracy, to blaming anyone with wealth or even perceived wealth for the misery that followed.  Blood flowed in the streets and innocents falsely accused in the bloodlust were executed by thirsty mobs eager to rend their misguided notions of ‘justice’.

What you have going on here, is no different.  An opening act to the unravelling of a civil society because both mobs blame those with power.   The Left will blame the power of Race, Capitalism and Wealth,  The Libertarians blame the Fed, Corporations and the military industry.  Shared between them is a hatred of Jews, Reaganite Conservatives (they call neocons) and biblical morality if it has any influence on society.  Both useful idiocies are being used to demand a new order, a restructuring, the removal of what they say is oppression.

The end result will be the annihilation of both groups of useful idiots by those that orchestrated this uprising for purposes the useful idiots refuse to allow themselves to see, or because they are too woefully ignorant to see it.

Look at Egypt as a recent example of what I’m talking about.  The Coptics stood shoulder to shoulder with the Muslims.  They were warned that the Muslim Brotherhood was behind the movement against Mubarak with helpful instigation by William Ayers and the Anti-War Marxists who installed Obama to the presidency.  Some of us warned against the support of the uprising in Egypt against a secular despot – because much worse would fill the vacuum.  We were denounced as supporters of a U.S. supported despot, guilty of his crimes as if we did them ourselves.  We warned them that what they would empower would be worse than what they suffered under for decades.  They responded with pictures of Coptic Christians standing with Muslims against the Mubarak regime and cited as proof our warnings that militant Jihadists were going to take over Egypt were unfounded.  They insisted that real liberty was coming to Egypt.  As we warned,  The Coptics there enabled and empowered the Islamic tyranny that is going to exterminate them.  And that persecution and extermination is now underway.

Same is true here.  The End the Fed Ron Paul supporters who cheer the Days of Rage protests in the US, are the Coptics of Egypt – who in their useful idiocy – are empowering the very movement that will ultimately turn on and exterminate them, along with the rest of us.  The frightening truth I fear is that a good chunk of the Ron Paul supporters hate as much or more than the overt Leftists do, those of us they will blame.

Dewey From Detroit posits an expanded thought process on these Marxist mobs rampaging in major cities.  His warnings are the same as mine, without the history lesson:

The OWS Crowd Gets Tough

SNIP:

We have a pack of economic imbeciles,  orchestrated by community organizers and union-mob bosses, who have gone on holiday to set up camp and get in people’s faces in order to rage against unfairness and corporations….

…If you still don’t believe that the Marxist/socialists have had their eyes on America as their prize for a long, long time, you’ve either not been paying attention or you’re one of the progressive sheeple “occupying” Wall Street who thinks you just dreamed up the socialist nirvana of America without borders and corporations all on your own. Or, worse yet, you are one of the titans of Wall Street who donated a gazillion dollars to “Organizing for Obama” to elect this posse of Stalinist morons.

Obama and the Marxist Politburo Set to Use Food and Famine as a Weapon

Democrat Fascists pass HR 2749 – and set the stage to use food and nutrition as a weapon against the people.

History is an excellent teacher.

In 1932 and 1933, six and possibly up to 20 million people in the Soviet Ukraine and Moldavia died from starvation due to Josef Stalin’s efforts to crush Ukrainian nationalism and to implement his prescription of “change” in the former Soviet Union when the Communist regime nationalized the food industry and forced all farms into collectives.

The Holdomor as it is known in the Ukraine, or “Hunger Plague”, was effectively a terror weapon used by those in power to force submission to new policies the regime instituted to control all aspects of Sovite life. The nationalization of all farms in the Soviet Union into collectives became the tool Stalin used to eradicate opposition and threat to the communist regime.  Apologists for the Soviet Union suggest that it was the result of radical economic changes that Stalin was making at record pace that blighted the economy and crushed the farmers when the regime took over all food production in the Soviet union.  Whatever the exact cause, millions perished in just under two years time because the government had taken control of food and food production in the region.

The United Nations declared the Holdomor as a genocide perpetrated against the Ukrainian people in 2003.

History show us that Socialists, Communists, Islamists and Marxists,  use food and the production of food as a weapon against their own people in order to solidify power and control.  Hitler himself said that using food as a weapon was “a beautiful instrument . . . for maneuvering and disciplining the masses.”

Stalin and Hitler used food to destroy internal opposition to their policies of “change”.  They used it to reward accomplishment, punish failure, establish the class distinctions of their “new orders.” In Germany the “warrior caste” of the armed forces received the fattest ration cards, skilled and essential workmen the next. Down at the bottom came prisoners, and the Jews. Ration cards that gave the owner right to more food were used to give workmen incentives to seek promotion, to increase their output. Supplies were suddenly cut down (regardless of the amount stored) to scare the population into believing the situation serious, or extra rations were suddenly granted to boost morale .

Pol Pot, Mao, Castro and most despotic regimes and dictators used food to achieve obedience of their people and to annihilate specific classes and races of political opponents.  Recently we saw this tactic used in Somalia, where Farah Aideed starved his own people into submission as civil war raged and in Darfur and Rwanda where Islamic regimes sought the annihilation of ‘infidels’.

And it would appear that history is about to repeat itself, right here in America.  

The Democrats on Friday set the stage for the same exact kind of weapon the tyrants of history used, to be used against us, if they so wish.

HR 2749, ridiculously entitled the “2009 Food Safety Enhancement Act” was passed by the House right before they took off for the Summer Recess.  Few know about this because all the public’s attention was upon the battle over National Health care and the spectacle of yet more race pimping at Obama’s Beer Summit.   The Bill was rushed through to passage using the same impetus of ‘urgency’ and fear that was used to get the Stimulus bill shoved through, with no public input or comments allowed, and done just one day before the summer recess. I doubt any of those who voted for this bill, even read it.  Which is how Congress does things these days.

Touted under the same guise of “for the children”, this Communist takeover of food and food production was done under the auspices of ‘food safety’ – using the recent salmonella events of peanuts and lettuce as the springboard for nationalization.  And apparently we applaud the notion that giving government total control of our nation’s food supply, from farm to fork – is a good thing.

In the bill, every form of food production is monitored, regulated and controlled at all levels by the federal government under the leadership of a new Food Safety Czar.

Yet ANOTHER Czar, accountable to no one except Obama.

The state-run news media is hailing the passage of this Bill in the House as a great step in helping America have better food safety standards. America already HAS the best safety standards in the world, but that is not good enough for the Marxists.  In their eyes, the GOVERNMENT must regulate and control it all.  And this bill does exactly that.  The bill requires require every entity, whether it be an individual, business, church organization, homeless shelter, or home gardener to register annually with a new federal food bureau.

http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h2749/show

“This bill proposes greater FDA regulatory powers over the national food supply and food providers, namely granting it the authority to regulate how crops are raised and harvested, to quarantine a geographic area, to make warrantless searches of business records, and to establish a national food tracing system. Concurrently, the bill would impose annual registration fees of $500 on all facilities holding, processing, or manufacturing food and require that such facilities also engaged in the transport or packing of food maintain pedigrees of the origin and previous distribution history of the food.”

That’s right.  You want to plant a garden in your back yard?  YOU MUST register with the new Food Safety Czar before you are allowed to grow any food on your own property because it has to be “traced”.

Does your church serve the homeless?  Prepare for disasters and calamities by having food and medicine stores for use of the brethren?  Stocking up on storable food will require a mountains of red tape and registration with the federal government.

Every facet of food production, from how it is grown to how it is processed, packaged, shipped, and stored will be regulated and controlled by the government. This is all in the name of protecting public health.  And this is how the Marxists operate to get a population to go along and support the very weapon that will be used against them.  There is NOTHING in this bill that addresses, prevents or otherwise affects the safety of food. This bill is nothing but a federal takeover which will be extended to the states with the cooperation of state officials. This bill essentially establishes a police agency, granting it massive and uncontrolled enforcement capabilities, granting the government the ability to use food as a weapon.

Look at history to understand what happens EVERY SINGLE TIME a government controls the people’s food and farms.

Mass death and genocide, for the purpose of controlling the people and bending them to the will of those in power.

And that seems to be America’s near future the way this regime and politburo in Washington is going.

And America is letting them set up this genocide against us, thinking it’s a great thing that government will control all food and distribution in the country.

Oh if these poor ignorant sheep would remember history!  What is coming might have been avoided.

Forget the 1930’s; We Are Facing 1917

The Ultimate Socialist Revolution is Being Spun and Run in Reverse and Applauded By Useful Idiots

“Obama, Brown Call for Global Solution to Economic Crisis”
from the first paragraph of the story:

“US President Barack Obama joined British Prime Minister Gordon Brown today in calling for a global solution to the economic crisis and both leaders vowed to repair their countries’ shattered financial systems.”

And now a little bit more distant piece of history….

“We are opposed to national enmity and discord, to national exclusiveness. We are internationalists. “

-28 December, 1919, Lenin, Letter to the Workers and Peasants of the Ukraine, Source: Lenin’s Collected Works, 4th English Edition, Progress Publishers, Moscow, 1965, Volume 30, pages 291-297

Are we really that far apart?

I think not but history has a way of perverting itself in the grand scheme just when the “advanced” nations think they know and see all. Just what if the great American experiment ended as a comedy show instead of a tragedy? We have always elected to view ourselves as a sitcom, a piece of Americana where the hilarious Al Bundyesque ending always seemed to concluded every tragedy no matter what with a laugh track and a miracle, because heck, we’re American by gummit and that’s how it is! Of course no one ever asked:

What if the final joke is on us?

What is the reaction of the American public when they wake up from their American Idol slumber and realize that everything they believed in, the system they have been told was safe, the world they knew, ended.

No subtitles.

No miracles.

No superheroes.

Just pain, agony and “solutions” proposed by those in power but this time instead of a populist from the back of a train en route from Berlin to Moscow, on a television screen and via the internet from Washington, DC with the power that the Bolsheviks could only have fantasized about in their day and age. A geopolitical monster with military and financial reaches that would shake the roots of hell into panic and cause all to tremble in its wake. Is that what we are facing now?

In the 1900’s an oligarch, the Czar of Russia, held complete control over every aspect of the lives of the people of Russia. A wrong word, a bad astrological forecast, inept military advice and poof, you were executed. The sheeple of that time, the peasantry was meant to serve the aristocracy primarily because that “was how it was always done” and new ideas were foreign to the people of that land due to centuries of Imperial enforced ignorance. This would change with the sudden expansion of other ideals and the blind foolishness of the “West” which assumed that the political system of Russian leaders was perfected to prevent outside influences from causing internal disturbances from expanding beyond small regional racially based flare-ups where the leaders could easily be bought off to preserve the status quo.

Just what if the theory worked in reverse; an oligarch, either of the American Democrat or Republican Parties elected to reverse the Soviet revolution and impose a state controlled system by convincing the “people” that it was the only solution to save their way of life?

The idea of a proverbial de facto proletariat takeover of our nation has never crossed the mind of the national psyche. America elected it though and it is quite possible we will sow what we reap because a “good crisis is too good of an opportunity to pass up” or words to that effect. The re-centralization of power and control and expansion of a statist system with integrated and cooperative corporatist technocracies to enhance and insure the expansion of a singular party’s control is the fantasy of many a dictator and we might have reached that zenith in history just now.

Just what would happen if the “workers” thought they took over our Republic? There is a lot of conjecture now in the hinterlands that the average soul is upset about the state of our union, that their voices are not being heard, the politicians are ignoring them, etc. What is different from this period of time and the era from 1913 to 1920? Not much except they arrested and detained the opposition during much of that time period using such powerful terms as “treason” and “sedition” to silence and extinguish legitimate debate, not the fringe, from the hard issues of the day. The call has already been made by some leftists like Stephanie Miller (an obscure talk show host) as highlighted in her declaration that Rush be charged with “treason and executed“. The silence from the mainstream media must indicate a support via the whisper or a blind eye to insure their role as America’s new private partnership with the Department of Information is solidified for the future.

Time will tell.

The problem as I see it is the economists, the historians, political junkies and talk show hosts are all focused on the wrong era. This is not about a 1930’s style Roosevelt takeover of our nation and elimination of the rights of the citizens. Nor is it the Woodrow Wilson reincarnation of “Progressive” freedoms. This is the new world ideal, a concept developed after continuous trial and era, using smaller nations to eradicate and use as test beds for the greater good. Unfortunately it is time for the grand experiment to come home to roost. The damned piece of paper will be willfully sacrificed with a “people’s movement” real or perceived to save the pain of the elderly from losing what they “had” and to preserve the basic standard of living of the American people. In the process of doing so, the 1917 model will be implemented to insure that freedom is defined only by those in power and insured via an international agreement to extract the capital, the production, of the United States citizen in exchange for this new life of liberty as defined by the state.

Once the level of economic deprivation and pain has reached the extremes in our nation this time, the sacrifice of the ideals of Jefferson and Franklin will become a secondary concern in exchange for a box of MRE’s for a hungry family along with several gallons of water. It is the ultimate revolution, spun and run in reverse, with the implied blessings of the religious hierarchy, mainstream business concerns and alleged intellectuals across this land of ours.

And the people will beg, pray for and demand it.

Obama Collaborated With Chicago Socialist Party

EXPLOSIVE NEWS: Obama Collaborated with Chicago Democratic Socialist Party

Senator Obama Signed a CONTRACT WITH THE CHICAGO SOCIALIST PARTY  

Everything on the Post Below is Hyperlinked to a site within the Chicago Democratic party archives, there is no conjecture, no guessing, The fact is that as recently as 1996 Senator Obama was an active member of the Chicago Democratic Socialist Party.

We have verified Barack Obama’s involvement with the Chicago New Party per the Web site of the Chicago Democratic Socialist Party, to the extent of inviting Democratic Socialists to join his task force on voter registration and voter education.

New Party Update  

by Bruce Bentley

Secondly, the NP’s ‘96 Political Program has been enormously successful with 3 of 4 endorsed candidates winning electoral primaries. All four candidates attended the NP membership meeting on April 11th to express their gratitude. Danny Davis, winner in the 7th Congressional District, invited NPers to join his Campaign Steering Committee. Patricia Martin, who won the race for Judge in 7th Subcircuit Court, explained that due to the NP she was able to network and get experienced advice from progressives like Davis. Barack Obama, victor in the 13th State Senate District, encouraged NPers to join in his task forces on Voter Education and Voter Registration.

What are the goals of the Chicago Democratic Socialist Party?

Our mission is to establish democratic socialism as a political force in the United States and around the world by training and mobilizing socialist activists to participate in a vibrant and diverse socialist organization at both the local and the national level. DSA both educates the public about democratic socialist values and policies and builds progressive coalitions to win victories that move the U.S. and the world toward social democracy. In the near term, democratic socialists struggle for reforms that shift power and resources away from corporate elites and put them in the hands of ordinary citizens. In the long term, democratic socialists fight for a world in which all people share equally in the governing of the economic, political and cultural institutions and relationships that shape their lives.

Let’s face It – This Is A Socialist Coup, A War To Kill The Republic

By INVAR

Folks, let’s be honest about what is going on right now.

America is in the midst of a coup. A Socialist Coup. 

We just went from a Republic, to a Fascist Oligarchy of Socialism this afternoon, and the coup marches on even more determined.

Barrack The Hussein Obama, The Mainstream Media, this fascist Bailout Bill, Pelosi’s House, Reid’s Senate, Global Warming, No Drilling and this energy mess, are all ‘fronts’ and battles in a civil war now being waged against a nation and people that have no clue that they are at war and under attack.

It’s the same apathy, indifference and ignorance of refusing to understand that radical Islam was at war with us for decades – that led to our stunned bewilderment on 9-11.

The radical and Marxist Left are at war with the American Republic, American Conservatives, Biblical Christians and Jews. They have been at war with this Republic and Constitution for decades. They have infiltrated and wounded it via stealth, and pushed ignorance upon a people’s children about our true history, heritage and culture. And they believe they are on the verge of total victory. All the chips are on the table. These enemies of the Republic are playing for keeps.

You and I, and liberty are the targets.

Today is September 10, 2001 for the Republic – and while the pillars of liberty and Constitution still stand today – they will be gone tomorrow. An insidious plot and attack with the aim of destroying them is now in it’s final stages of execution. 

What they want, is a Marxist State of Oligarchs, running the people, controlling our liberty, our lives. Even now, songs of worship and praise to Obama, paramilitary youths chanting Obama slogans and radical Leftists promising vengeance on their ideological enemies when they achieve power, are becoming commonplace and found on YouTube.

Thug tactics, threatening, using law enforcement to silence and intimidate political speech that the Obama campaign does not like and outright lies – deliberate propaganda being forcefed by a mainstream press that are full of KGB- er, Democrat agents, even to the point of having an Obama Campaign supporter and author of a book praising Obama “moderating” a vice presidential debate.

It’s a Socialist/Marxist revolution.

Yes, Virginia, it really can happen here – because it already is underway. The fact a Saul Alinsky Marxist, whose freinds are America-hating terrorists and anti-American Black-Power preaching racists is on the verge of the Presidency should wake you up to this reality.

We’ve just watched a political version of Mohammed Atta waltz through the ticket gate of the Republic with the aid and help of media agents that share his hatred of the “Flyover country infidels”, and we shrug our shoulders in disbelief and apathy and wonder aloud what happened to the America we once knew?

We’ve seen the warning signs, the slow boil and incremental insertion of the American Republic into the cauldron of Socialism.

From the admiration in the 1930’s of Mussolini’s Fascism in Italy by the American press and the Roosevelt Administration; to the New Deal and onward to LBJ’s Great Society, America has grown comfortable with a nanny state government that has grown to it’s current tyrannical size. The war on poverty alone has thrown TRILLIONS of dollars at poor and minorities to ever-increasing ravenous appetites of both the welfare class and the government pimps that it has empowered. Entitlements are outpacing our national GDP – and the debt hung on our necks and those of our children are chains that weigh in the multiple tens of trillions of dollars.

With this has been a steady erosion of true liberty all in the name of ‘change’, ‘the poor’, ‘the children’, ‘safety’, ‘security’.

America has become comfortable with enslaving Socialism.

Now the ground has been softened enough, the battlefield prepped, the populace conditioned by decades of Leftist bombardment to accept the next stage of the transformation of America from a Republic to a Fascist Socialist Democracy.

The coup is underway – right now. Under your very nose. Perhaps with your consent. Perhaps with your condemnation. Perhaps with your indifference. Regardless, the vast majority are comfortable and even willing, to surrender the liberty that your neighbors do not trust you with to the almighty power of the government.

Investment banks are nationalized. The mortgage industry was just nationalized. The auto industry was partially nationalized. Next to be nationalized is the oil and energy industry, the healthcare industry – and eventually YOUR industry.

Government will run and regulate all business and industry- probably like they did Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Government now owns your mortgage, and like it does with all government housing – can and will tell you what you may or may not do in your home and property. Obama said today that he will APPOINT and empower Judges to make decisions that will forestall bankruptcy, and even allow the judge to change the terms of the mortgage – the interest rates and even the principle.

A dependent people will bow willingly to every demand of the state and a dictator for the promise of bread. Your neighbors will turn you in for a scrap of food. Your neighbors will lie about you for an extra portion of whatever the government will hand out.

And enemies of this newfound Fascism – will be eradicated ala the Waco Treatment.

Those of Faith in the scriptures, who will not break the First Commandment and replace the worship of God for the state and a man the rest of the populace worships as a god, will be attacked by Christian Socialists and Secularists first – and then the state will ultimately destroy them. Given what Obama has written in his two autobiographies – the American version of Mein Kampf, his disdain and hatred with his compatriot Christian-hating supporters like Bill Maher and the rest of the Leftist media, persecution, ostracization and elimination is all but a certainty.

My fellow countrymen – whether you want to believe it or not, whether you accept it or not – the fact is this: we are at war with Socialists who have staged a coup with our ignorant consent.

The only question remains – will we go quietly into the night as they expect us to?

Steel yourselves. Prepare yourselves to endure.

For misery unknown to these shores, and tyranny unlike any we have experienced is about to hit the towers of liberty and freedom. The socialists have hijacked the aircrafts of commerce, media and the Courts – and the Marxists that are flying these behemoth missiles, are aiming them at their targets.

In the wreckage to follow – the people will cry for a savior.

And Obama is already in the bullpen – with anthems and slogans and worship songs already written.

May God rest the soul of this former Republic that we are surrendering.

Danger From The South: Inciting A Socialist Revolution In America

To compound the problems America is already beset with our faltering economy and the war on Jihadists – comes word that Venezuela, having allied itself with Iran, is sponsoring forums to promote a militant Socialist Revolution in America.

Given the Socialist slide America is already on, and the precarious situation in Mexico, Communists like Chavez think America is ripe for chaos, revolution and takeover, from both invasion from the South, and from revolution within.

Venezuela forum debates prospects for revolution in U.S.

CARACAS, Venezuela—A five-day rolling panel discussion on “United States: A possible revolution” was the central event at the third Venezuela International Book Fair, which took place here November 9-18.

The 22 panelists, four or five of whom spoke each day, included political activists and writers from the United States expressing diverse political views, as well as a number of U.S. citizens living in Venezuela. Hundreds of Venezuelans and others took part in one or more sessions, with dozens raising questions and making comments from the floor. The forum was covered by Venezuelan television, radio, and newspapers. The issues debated on the character of the working class and prospects for revolution in the United States sparked a political discussion that permeated the book fair. An article on the fair itself will appear in next week’s Militant.

The forum kicked off November 10 with presentations by Mary-Alice Waters, a member of the Socialist Workers Party National Committee and president of Pathfinder Press; Eva Golinger, a Venezuelan-American lawyer and author of The Chávez Code; Chris Carlson, a contributor to the venezuelanalysis.com website; and Tufara Waller, cultural program coordinator of the Highlander Center in Tennessee. The issues joined at that first session remained at the center of the debate the following four days. (See “Venezuela book fair theme: ‘U.S., a possible revolution’” in last week’s Militant.)

In addition to the forum panelists mentioned below, others included Bernardo álvarez, Venezuela’s ambassador to the United States; former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill; August Nimtz, a University of Minnesota political science professor; William Blum, an author who has written a number of books opposing U.S. foreign policy; ex-Maryknoll priest Charles Hardy; and Dada Maheshvarananda, yoga instructor and founder of the Prout Institute.

Debate over immigrant workers The political perspectives most sharply debated over the five days were, first, the impact and importance of millions of Latin American immigrant workers in the United States, and, second, the history of revolutionary struggles of working people in the United States and the lessons of those struggles for revolutionary prospects. In a striking way, the discussion registered that those living and engaged in the class struggle in the United States generally expressed greater confidence in the revolutionary capacities of working people there than did those—both U.S. citizens and many Latin American participants—living outside the United States.

Several panelists are active in work to expand rights for immigrants in the United States. These included Diógenes Abreu, a Dominican-born community organizer who currently lives in New York; Luis Rodríguez, a Chicano activist in California’s San Fernando Valley; and Gustavo Torres, an organizer for the immigrant rights group Casa de Maryland. Several of them gave a vivid and accurate picture of conditions of life for immigrant workers in the United States and the growing resistance and confidence manifested in strikes and ongoing street mobilizations against raids and deportations.

Both Torres and Antonio González, president of the Southwest Voter Education and Registration Project, said the road to “empowerment” is organizing Latinos to vote. “What does a revolutionary do in the U.S. today?” asked González. “Take power wherever you can” by electing Latinos to city, state, and federal offices. His PowerPoint presentation highlighted the growing number of Latino voters.

During the discussion periods day after day, a number of participants from Venezuela and elsewhere in Latin America took exception to the evidence that immigrant workers resisting the superexploitation they face in the United States are an important force in the working-class vanguard that is emerging there. In various ways, several said that Latin Americans living and working in the United States are simply there to get “a piece of the pie.”

“They are only there to get passports,” said one participant. “Once they get them they’ll stop marching.” Many characterized immigrant workers as sellouts who have bought into the “American dream” at the expense of fighting for political, economic, and social change in Latin America.

In the discussion, Carlos Samaniego, a packinghouse worker from Minnesota, countered this view. He described the vanguard role that immigrant workers are playing in struggles in the United States—from coal mines in the West to union struggles in Midwest slaughterhouses.

America’s revolutionary heritage The other hotly debated question was the revolutionary history of toilers in the United States and, by extension, prospects for a Third American Revolution, a socialist revolution.

“America was created by revolution,” said panelist Lee Sustar, labor editor of the Socialist Worker newspaper, which reflects the views of the International Socialist Organization. Speaking at the November 13 session, he referred to the U.S. Civil War as “the completion of the bourgeois democratic revolution” that had won independence for the 13 British colonies some 80 years earlier.

“There has never been a revolution in the United States, and anyone who thinks there has been is ignorant of their own history,” responded panelist Richard Gott, a British author and journalist. Gott said the American Revolution, which defeated British colonial rule, could not be considered a revolution. Rather, it was a war to take land from Native American tribes, whose territory, he said, was being protected by the British royal army.

“No, a revolution is not possible in the United States,” said Gott. “It is conservative and reactionary. The only hope is Latin America.”

“I want to express my total agreement,” interjected Haiman El Troudi, the moderator of the panel that day. “There never has been a revolution in the United States and never will be!” El Troudi has held several offices in the Chávez government and written books including Being Capitalist is Bad Business and History of the Bolivarian Revolution.

“It is impossible for a revolution to begin in the United States,” said a Venezuelan participant from the floor. He pointed to what he considered U.S. workers’ complicity with Washington’s wars against Iraq and Afghanistan as proof that working people there are desensitized to injustice.

But in remarks during the November 11 panel, ex-Marine and founder of Iraq Veterans Against the War Jimmy Massey described his evolution from a prowar patriot to a staunch opponent of the war in Iraq. He walked through day-to-day experiences in Iraq that led him to oppose U.S. policies in the Middle East and to organize fellow soldiers to do the same.

Another idea frequently expressed by speakers from the floor and by a few panelists was that “change has to come from the South,” referring to Latin America. Many said the only hope was to wait until enough countries in Latin America close their doors to imperialist penetration so as to cause a collapse in the U.S. economy. The fact that nowhere in Latin America but Cuba have working people yet successfully carried through to victory the kind of revolutionary struggle necessary to end imperialist domination received scant attention.

Some participants argued that U.S. capitalism would be thrown into crisis if enough leftist governments were elected in Latin America and refused to sign bilateral “free-trade” agreements with Washington or join the U.S.-initiated Free Trade Area of the Americas. Others pointed to popular struggles in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Nicaragua as being the key to educating working people in the United States. Despite different arguments and emphases, the point of agreement was that no initiative could be expected from working people inside the imperialist bastion.

A contrasting point of view was presented by Héctor Pesquera, a leader of the Hostosiano Independence Movement of Puerto Rico. “The Puerto Rican struggle is connected to the North American revolution,” he said. Pesquera summarized the worsening conditions facing both working people in Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans living in New York. Pointing to the movement that forced Washington to withdraw its naval bases from the Puerto Rican island of Vieques, Pesquera noted that this blow to the U.S. rulers had strengthened social movements in the United States.

“I’m going to take issue with what every one of you has said,” stated Amiri Baraka, a poet from Newark, New Jersey, speaking from the audience. Baraka, a panelist on the closing day of the event, has been active in Black nationalist, Maoist, and Democratic Party politics since the 1960s. Attacking Sustar for not identifying himself as a “Trotskyite,” and falsely accusing fellow panelist George Katsiaficas of introducing himself as a former member of the Black Panthers, Baraka’s intervention was the first time in four days of sharp debate that the tone of civil discourse was breached.

Final session “When I first heard the theme of this forum, I thought it was a joke,” said Steve Brouwer, an American living in Venezuela and writing a book on peasant cooperatives. Brouwer was a panelist at the final session. “But the more I thought about what is happening in the world, the more I listened to my Latino brothers here, the more I became convinced that revolutionary change in the U.S. is possible.”

Brouwer said that working-class complacency in the United States in the 1920s had given way to labor battles in the 1930s that shaped U.S. politics for 45 years. He cited a “mildly progressive” Democratic Party, influenced by these developments in the labor movement, as key to what he called a progressive course that ended with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Amiri Baraka and Amina Baraka were also panelists at the final session.

Amina Baraka, introducing herself as “a Black woman who is a communist who uses the cultural arena,” spoke about her work and read a poem.

Amiri Baraka came back to the previous day’s discussion, disagreeing with Gott and others who denied the two great revolutions in U.S. history. He also disagreed with Sustar’s characterization of the Civil War as the completion of the bourgeois democratic revolution.

“That revolution has never been completed,” Baraka said. “There is still no democracy for Blacks.” He proposed that Blacks and Latinos, including the “progressive” Black bourgeoisie, unite around a program to abolish the electoral college; establish a unicameral parliamentary system; ban “private money” from election campaigns; make voting compulsory; and restore voting rights to felons. Such constitutional reforms, he said, would shift power towards “people’s democracy” in the United States. Revolutionary goals could then be put on the agenda.

What has derailed all previous revolutionary struggles in the United States, Baraka argued, is “white privilege.” He citied the defeat of Radical Reconstruction following the Civil War, the failure of the 1930s labor upsurge to go further, and the decline of the mass movement that brought down Jim Crow segregation as three examples. Moreover, “white privilege” and the failure of the “white left” to fight it remain the primary obstacle to struggles today.

Baraka also renewed his attack on Katsiaficas, who had spoken about Asian student struggles on the panel the previous day. Baraka accused him of being an agent trying to stir up support in Venezuela for student marches against the government of Hugo Chávez.

Baraka concluded by reading his poem, “Somebody Blew Up America,” a Spanish translation of which was distributed to participants. Written after September 11, 2001, the poem presents a long list of historical atrocities, interlacing anti-imperialist and anticapitalist rhetoric with conspiracy theories of history and anti-Semitism. “Who decide Jesus get crucified,” the poem asks. “Who knew the World Trade Center was gonna get bombed / Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Tower / To stay home that day / Why did Sharon stay away?”

During the opening day of the panel, a participant from Panama had said during the discussion that Jews are the main problem facing working people in the world today because “they have all the money” and control everything. Norton Sandler, a member of the Socialist Workers Party in the United States, spoke from the floor the next day and pointed to the danger of scapegoating and Jew-hatred for the working-class movement.

After Baraka’s remarks the final day, Mary-Alice Waters took the floor to thank the organizers of the book fair “for bringing together diverse forces for such a broad variety of views for the discussion that took place here.” She stressed the importance of civil debate, noting that “the poison of agent- and race-baiting should be rejected by all.”

Some prominent speakers invited to take part in the central forum were unable to make it during that event, but joined the discussion in the following days.

A November 17 program on “Liberation, Imagination, Black Panthers” featuring Kathleen Cleaver, former national spokesperson for the Black Panther Party, was one of the larger events of the fair outside the central forum. A video interview with Noam Chomsky, the well-known author, anarchist, and a linguistics professor, was played after the conclusion of the forum, and a booklet containing a translation of his comments was distributed for free.

Ramón Medero, president of Venezuela’s National Book Center, the sponsor of the fair, expressed his appreciation to all the panelists whose efforts had contributed to the success of the event, and satisfaction that the fair served to open a much-needed political discussion.
