Well, I hate to say I told you so last fall, but.... here's an article I found on Pravda's English website about the takeover of America that's happening right now before our very eyes. These guys from Russia should know, because they've been under Marxism since 1917 and have first hand experience in how free societies are taken over by totalitarians. I think, though, they got one thing wrong - the takeover of America is being led by Facists, not Marxists. Obama is doing exactly what Hitler did to gain control of Germany in the 30s. If Marxists, then it is a combination of the 2 ideologies, which it well could be. Either way, evil is evil, whatever other name you choose give it. If you want to verify what I've printed below, I copied the article from HERE! Let me warn you that there is some content (partial nudity) on the page could be offensive to some. I didn't know it had this kind of content - I was just following a link from Glenn Beck's webpage. Anyhow, that's why I chose to print the article here instead of just giving you the link. Hope you will pass this on to as many people as you know. Maybe America will wake up one day, but probably not before it's too late!



It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Thanks Repa!! SCARY!!!

We are indeed in perilous times, but America has been there before and has not been beaten down. In March of last year the congress convened the 6th "secret, closed door" session in over 176 yrs. It is widely believed that the news of our pending economic collapse was delivered to them at that time. The corrupt financial leadership of Wall St had gambled with the nation's economy and they lost. Our economy had for some time been a paper tiger with little actual production to back up the escalating GNP. When banks have the power to create something from nothing and then charge interest on their creation it can't end well.

The only value that can be added to an economy without simply juggling numbers must come from production or it is only a sham perpetrated on the people. Integrating our economy with others of third world countries and outsourcing labor to artificially prop up profits and dividends has weakened us while giving the impression of growth in corporate value. That impression was based upon little more than delayed inflation and manipulated interest rates that camouflaged the sinking middle class. The first generation to leave their offspring less than they received from their parents is not a title to be proud of.

The world tied it's wagon to our star and now that star is falling. If we don't prop up the same people and institutions that caused our dilemma we risk a world wide depression that no one knows how to predict in it's depth or duration. I don't agree with a lot that is currently being done in the name of "stimulus", but the potential alternatives scare me at my core. Can America survive a depression if Russia and China aren't similarly effected, or emerge from it before we do? Can America recover with the weight of an out of control health care system saddling employers with higher costs than they spend on raw materials? What will it cost our economy when a third of our nation's population goes without health care coverage? What would a 25% unemployment rate do to our already beleaguered safety net? These are the possibilities facing our nation and we, perhaps, are better off if we don't have to discover the answers to those questions.

In any event, our course has been forced upon us and is unlikely to change now that the wheels are set in motion. I think that the damage can be minimized if our condition causes us to reassess how we deal with critical components of our economy and take steps now to chart a wiser course than we were on before. Had the full knowledge of our situation not been hidden from us earlier we might have the luxury of different options and less drastic measures. I do worry that we have not addressed the root causes of our problems and are scrambling to plug holes in the dam rather than fortifying it's base.

America is owed a full accounting of where the money went and who took it, but I don't think that the current political climate would allow for that yet, as the wounds of the last election are still too fresh. Our nation's leadership will have to, very soon, make that accounting and we will have to let the chips fall where they may on both sides of the political divide. I don't believe that we can continue to avoid reality and suspend our disbelief because of political loyalties without damaging our nation beyond repair. I do not advocate witch hunts to give fodder to politicians, but there is obvious culpability for our dilemma that has to be resolved and perpetrators that must be brought before the people's justice.

For starters I went to the site, and seen it's not news it's columns which are opinion(Look in the address bar, it says opinions right there in the link.)... Seems republican ...

And I have no say in this as I had no idea what's being talked about they all confuse me; especially Novice lol; but I think it's good with all the big words lol; I'm to lazy to look them up, so I'll let you guys fight it out ...

I really don't think he is the anti-christ - but it does concen me the way that so many people seem so taken by his charisma. Things are definetly looking bad.

Fay

I remember that lol i still wonder, but I now doubt it I mean since like tons of people think he is, do you think God would pick someone that everyone thinks he is?

Maybe the pope? He sits on earth as the 'most holey person' there is on earth? Idk, a thought to think about I mean, he is the leader of the Catholic church, and is seens as the least sinful guy on earth by many; maybe he could like easily corrupt people or what ever.

I think I may have to reconsider posting my full opinion. Neither of us will alter the other's thinking by enough to justify alienating an old friend. I always assumed you to be fairly conservative, but I didn't know you bought all of that party line.

I'll take a little time to organize some background material from reputable sources and will simply post it for you to read or not. What you have posted is "part" of the truth, as I see it, so we're really not that far apart. We do differ widely on our views of the cause of our current mess tho.

I probably would have voted for Ron Paul if I thought that he had a chance or would live past his inauguration if he did win. Since neither seemed likely, I voted for Obama as the only realistic alternative to what I saw as a dangerous and dysfunctional old geezer with no moral compass and an obsession with the military. Sorry, but that's how I viewed it. I am far from an Obamaniac, but I don't see him as the path to our ruin either. The pendulum had swung too far and got stuck for too long and needed to be kicked back into motion while we still have a middle class to rebuild our country.

Please don't take this as endorsing Obama's (Geithner's?) recovery plans. I too think we should have allowed the banks to fail and put our money into more local investment and loan banks that could have been more responsive to the people. Wall St created their bed and should have been made to lie in it. Detroit was somewhat a victim of circumstances but should have been more nimble in a highly volatile economy with unstable fuel costs. As it is, they are bankrupt anyway, but some of the downstream suppliers have been saved from the same fate.

Keith, each of us has our own opinions, and that is fine. No worries on losing any friendship here, we are not of their ilk (the politicians). The whole Washington crowd is totally corrupt and I see the government as nothing more than a legalized maffia, willingly supported by a populace that has been systematically dumbed down by the public education system for the last half century, and doesn't have a clue as to what's really going on or how close we are to losing our freedom. I am conservative, yes, but see both parties as totally corrupt and support neither. Ron Paul would have been a better choice, but hardly an ideal one. Washington needs to be cleaned out - we need to vote all of those $#@&*%^@ out to change things. Sorry if I sounded too blunt above, but I really care about this country and it is no longer the country I grew up in.

Repa,

Just found this and immediately thought you would want at least one.

Great idea, wish I'd thought of that! Thanks!

Not to fan the fire, but you might like to read this. It's about the GM / Chrysler bankruptcy / bailout.
