The government shut down has revealed an aspect of American culture that is beyond dispute. The number of government parks and monuments that have been cut off from tourism is astonishing, and underlines why all federal land should be privatized under the free market system. No government should have the ability to extort national landmarks or historic places as a way to increase their budgetary needs through monopolistic extortion. No property should be federal land, and operated under the monopoly of government control and authority. All land in America should be under private ownership.
Under private ownership there would be no ability for the government to shut down. Parks would operate on a profit basis and would be open “for profit.” By shutting down parks and tourist attractions operated by the federal government a giant underline has been proposed as to why this arrangement has been allowed to take place at all. Government should not have the ability to stop access to land that is so-called collectively owned by all Americans. Since government has stopped access, the best alternative is that all that land should be privately owned. The cost of service would increase, but at least the pretense of politeness would be eradicated, and efficiency would be implemented where it is currently nonexistent.
Of course the reason the government owns so much property in America is the pinnacle problem of growing statism, where the state believes it has more authority than individual lives—which is an anti-American concept to begin with. I considered this problem the other night while visiting Kings Island during one of my favorite times of year, the weekend Haunts that are dedicated to Halloween type activities in one of the largest amusement parks in the world. I love going to Kings Island in the cool fall evenings where the park is open till 1 AM.
I was thinking about the government shut down as I stood under the Eiffel Tower listening to a very intense rock band group called Blood Drums. The time was 11:30 PM, there were fog machines everywhere pumping large volumes of cloudy mist all over the entire park. People all around me were enjoying the music and eating snacks from the various venders and the park was operating all its major rides till well after midnight as the moon peeked over the ominous nighttime clouds. Government was totally incapable of providing anything close to the kind of experience found at Kings Island that I was enjoying. If government operated Kings Island, the park would have closed at 6 PM, because government does not care about profit since it exists off the looted efforts of the wealth they confiscate. They do not strive to be profitable, efficient, or even relevant. They simply take what they want with the mass mobs of the very stupid at their back. Government could not operate Kings Island, only private ownership.
The greatest park in the world is Disney World in Florida. No federally operated facility is more efficient, or does more for science, technology, or the preservation of environmental resources than does Epcot Center or Animal Kingdom. The Disney Parks are almost always open and occasionally they even stay open all night. They can do this because they operate under the free enterprise system. With that said, I have mentioned a time or two the McDonald’s that I love in Orlando located just to the south of Universal Studios. I am most proud to be an American when leaving one of the Disney Parks late at night—around 11 PM after being there since 9 AM where I can stop by this particular McDonald’s which is open 24 hours a day and eat a Big Mac in their dining room till 2 or 3 AM. I can do this because the free enterprise system has shown McDonald’s and the Disney Parks that there is a need for such things, so they operate their business options in such a way to facilitate the needs of “individuals.”
What is going on with the government shutdown is extortion. The statists of government are declaring that either tax payers further fund the ridiculous demands of a monopolistic enterprise called the federal government and all their land grabbing tendencies, or Americans will be cut off from their national treasures. The inefficiencies of government workers is never questioned, or their operating hours. The only thing discussed is the fact that the federal government has the power to deny access to things that are……………….American and they are dead wrong.
On a visit to the Smithsonian, and the Achieves on the Mall in Washington D.C., I had an altercation with the security at both places because of the video I was taking. The pin headed, cock-suckers who had the worthless task of standing around looking stupid all day drove me absolutely insane with their level of regulation, which was senseless. Government museums and parks have way, way too many rules. Whenever I have camped in a State or National Park I have always made a point to break their rules intentionally just to cleanse myself of their brain-dead mediocrity. At the Smithsonian and the Archives the employees were over-staffed and had little to do. They were just there to be there—hired by a faceless, statist government so that the employees could be counted as a “job created.” Their usefulness was marginal at best, and I let them know it.
I have personally no tolerance for extortion, and closing down national landmarks because of fiscal issues in the federal government. Government should not maintain property, or have the authority to shut down anything. Private enterprise should have that option, and their hours and content should be regulated by their customer base—and nothing else. The best that America has to offer is not in anything that has the word “federal” in front of it, so it should not be the template for future activity. Private enterprise is the way to go 100% of the time. Disney World is clean and well maintained not because of a federal law mandating it, but because they want to take care of their customer base. And Kings Island at 12:00 AM was clean and tidy even with a ruckus crowd of teen age kids running around in the dark away from their parents. The Kings Island staff could have waited till the park closed to clean everything up, but they still had people going around the park keeping everything tidy even when they really could have skimmed the task. It’s the little things that make average things exceptional, and that is seldom if ever seen in a federally controlled property.
So why does the government control so much land if they are so inept? The answer is in the merits of the government shut down. And it is simply pathetic!
For many readers here, they vaguely remember how things were during the Cold War. Young people born at the start of the 1990’s have no memory of the Cold War and have since had the event washed away from the collective conscience of America through the public education system, which will be covered extensively during a later article. But the U.S.S.R was fully intent to take over the world replacing all political ideologies with communism. It was, and still is their undisputed goal. Global communists in Planks 8 – 14 sought to infiltrate the American created United Nations as a way to put the world at their feet with counter intelligence activity that would enable them to accomplish their global goals. Read those intentions for yourself below.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
Obviously today, the intentions are more of a reality. The United Nations is on the door step to the entire world and in America through Agenda 21 is infiltrating the culture of The United States with a communist philosophy that has virtually taken over every zoning board in every American city so quietly that many of the participants don’t even know why or how they came to think the way they do about things. If you need a review of what Agenda 21 is, CLICK HERE. Communists were aware that they were a threat to individual freedom throughout the world and they needed a way to stay relevant. They had to find a way to keep from becoming outlawed in free countries, while still growing as a world-wide influence—so they penetrated the United Nations so to infect the world with their social, and economic philosophies. The result has been the world we currently are living in; economies stagnant—living off the past that are slowly dying. In Russia individual motivation had already died, which is why they needed access to the U.S. Patent office. The people of Russia had given up on any kind of personal ambition and weren’t inventing anything. The gross incompetence of any communist system is terribly evident comparing the time of 1917 where communism saturated Russia with a crippling political mentality while radio, film, manufacturing, television broadcasting, and sky scraper industries popped up in America within just a few years under capitalism. Communism had to stop the power of capitalism and to do so they had to loot off the ideas created in America so their country could keep up economically in some fashion while they chipped away from within the United Nations the sovereignty of America.
The 45 Planks of Communism was a military maneuver not made so much by nations against each other as is typically the case during modern warfare, but philosophies. In this case communism started by Karl Marx 60 years prior to the 1917 Russian Revolution slowly penetrated Russian culture over many years until enough people were ready to overthrow the bourgeoisie class. The same period of time evolved from the Russian Revolution to the fall of the Berlin Wall where the economic system of communism failed, and that wall dividing West and East Berlin was finally torn down. As the world celebrated the fall of communism, and the break-up of the Soviet Empire communism had penetrated The United Nations and spread violently under the changed name of “progressivism.”
The attack in America was underway. Fiscal collapse has always been the goal of communists using The United Nations to force America to spread itself too thin all over the world while halting American business with excessive regulations. The so-called Lean Manufacturing methods that were made so popular in the Asian theater were popularized by The United Nations as a way to incorporate the entire world into a shared system that broke down the resistance to communism. Micro management disguised as Lean Manufacturing was the way that communism has halted the growth of American business using so-called efficiency studies to introduce bureaucratic red tape that would halt innovation in corporations focusing all work places into embracing communist views of shared input. Even America’s largest companies have found and accepted that government regulation, and business compliance into lean manufacturing methods promoted by the United Nations has crippled their internal innovations and efficiency of their work forces. Mostly today, America lives off its past innovations as new concepts are not introduced as individual motivation has been removed in service to the concept of a collective whole—the overall health of the organization. This concept of shared sacrifice in American business is a spill-over from communist propaganda manipulated through The United Nations to stop capitalism. CLICK HERE FOR A SAMPLE.
Lean Manufacturing for American companies was the only way they could counter the terrorist tendencies of communist labor unions with a legitimate proposal of focusing on efficiency instead of the individuals that made up the unions. However, the tactic was employed on both ends by communists who infiltrated The United Nations and advanced both proposals—which forced collectivism onto entrepreneurial activities. Without the United Nations, it is highly likely that unions would have fizzled out in America well before the 1980’s and that business innovation would still be the standard instead of the exception.
The strategies employed by communists aimed to bring mass societies into the understanding of collectivism by destroying individual effort and focusing on collective causes. Everywhere this is done, the strategy began in these 45 planks of communism, and was embarked on a scale much larger than anyone realized at the time, and cannot simply be comprehended otherwise. But when it is understood that communism is behind the push for a stronger United Nations, and behind even Lean Manufacturing introduced to America through United Nations “globalism” outreach then the strategies of communism are easy to see. The devious depths of their efforts where nothing but the complete destruction of individual effort in favor of collective causes, and since that mentality could not compete directly with capitalism, communists needed the American funded United Nations to attack capitalism in an indirect way, instead of a full-fledged frontal assault.
When I was young I used to wear a KISS (the rock band) shirt that said on the back, “If it’s too loud, you’re too old.” Back then, even though I didn’t do drugs, curse, or promote decadence as a “leader of the pack,” the same kind of parents who support school levies today were doing the same back then, and they hated me. And I mean……………HATED me. They’d declare on many occasions……………..”some day Rich Hoffman………….you’ll grow up. Someday the music will be too loud for you and you’ll be like the rest of us.” Well, let me update their sentiments. I’m now a grandfather and have raised two daughters and been married for over a quarter century. And “they” are still waiting, their fat jello packed asses destroying several sets of furniture over the last couple of decades are still praying upon the gods of statism for “maturity” to shatter forward progress. I still play music loudly, and that isn’t going to stop. Most of the music I listen to are orchestral scores, but occasionally there is a rock song that comes on the radio that I crank up all the way and roll the windows down, even in the hard of winter. One such song is “Lift Me Up” (featuring Rob Halford of Judas Priest) by Five Finger Death Punch which for me is a throwback to the kind of music that was so popular during the pro-capitalist American period of the 1980s. I LOVE this song, not only for the tempo, but for the lyrics.
Five Finger Death Punch (also initialized as FFDP or 5FDP) is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2005, the group’s name is derived from classic martial arts cinema. The band originally consisted of vocalist Ivan Moody, guitarist Zoltan Bathory, guitarist Caleb Andrew Bingham, bassist Matt Snell, and drummer Jeremy Spencer.[6] Bingham was replaced by guitarist Darrell Roberts in 2006, who was then replaced by Jason Hook in 2009. Bassist Matt Snell departed from the band in 2010 and was replaced by Chris Kael in 2011.
Their debut album The Way of the Fist was released in 2007. Following its release, the band began achieving success rapidly. The 2009 follow-up album War Is the Answer further increased their popularity, leading to both of the albums being certified gold by the RIAA, selling over 500,000 copies each in the United States. The band’s third album, entitled American Capitalist was released on October 11, 2011 and achieved Gold status within the year. The band has played international music festivals including Mayhem Festival in 2008, 2010 and 2013, and Download Festival in 2009, 2010 and 2013.
Five Finger Death Punch are the recipients of the Radio Contraband Rock Radio Awards for “Indie Artist of the Year” in both 2011 and 2012. They were also honored with the Radio Contraband Rock Radio Award for Album (American Capitalist) and Song of the Year (“Coming Down”) in 2012.
What I like about Five Finger Death Punch is that they represent a growing independent movement that is emerging in Los Angeles culture—which is typically dominated by left leaning statists. The same anger and energy that is driving the creation of songs like the above “Lift Me Up” are the same as those driving sales for Grand Theft Auto 5. The emergence of this heavy metal rock band represents the growing freedom movement that certainly isn’t “Republican” but leans “libertarian.” There is a growing sector of the world population that feels the pressure reflected in the lyrics to “Lift Me Up,” and they are looking for anything or anyone to follow to lead them to that destination. On such destinations, statism is not the answer, or even a viable option. For people who find the song “Lift Me Up” inspiring, blind compliance to authority is not an option.
In my own life I have a tendency to completely disregard rules I don’t agree with, and I don’t feel any kind of social obligation to obey majority rule. To me, if the majority of society is a group of fools, I’m not going along with their collective sentiments as an individual. To provide context to that statement, my children were nearly arrested for climbing on The White House fence during the Clinton years by the secret service, but weren’t because they were encouraged by me. The other day there were jokes about my age and the knowledge people had that I have still been to court more times than the years of my life. I have stood in front of court judges more times than anybody I know except for lawyers, and every one of those instances was attempts by majority rule through law creation to bend my will to the collective due to my open disregard for society’s rules. So I have a lot of experience in that kind of thing and after many, many years, I am no closer to compliance now than I was at any point in my life.
So to those who told me nearly 30 years ago that someday I’d grow up and that the music would become too loud what they were really saying was that someday the statist system would beat me into compliance and I would learn to live with the results………..and that they couldn’t wait to see it happen. When I pulled into their drive ways to haul off their children for some gallant adventure they declared to themselves as my car disappeared into the surrounding streets with the music levels declining as distance mandated they’d say to each other…………someday the music will become too loud for Rich Hoffman.
Well, it’s not, and I doubt the music ever will, because I love lyrics to songs like “Lift Me Up.” The words in such songs reflect accurately how I have always felt, and continue to strive for every day of my life.
It ain’t no mystery
I’m all I have left
I’m pushing back running you over
I’ve been thrown down,
Run around
Beaten ’til I hit the ground
I’m telling you right now that it’s over
There’s no room for mistakes
All the parts are in place
Say what you will but say it to my face
Better back the fuck up
Better shut the fuck up
I’ll do what I want
And I’ll never give up
I won’t be broken
I won’t be tortured
I won’t be beaten down
I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around
Lift me up above this
The flames and the ashes
Lift me up and help me to fly away
Lift me up above this
The broken, the empty
Lift me up and help me to fly away
I’m gonna change history
Enlighten the world
Teach ’em how to see through my eyes
I’m gonna lash back check that fate as a heart attack
Stomp out all the ugliest lies
You can’t convince me to change
We ain’t on the same page
I’ve had my fill
There’s nothing but rage
Best get out of my way ’cause there’s nothing to say
Is that all you got because I ain’t got all day
I won’t be broken
I won’t be tortured
I won’t be beaten down
I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around
Lift me up above this
The flames and the ashes
Lift me up and help me to fly away
Lift me up above this
The broken, the empty
Lift me up and help me to fly away
I won’t be broken
I won’t be tortured
I won’t be beaten down
I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around
Lift me up above this
The flames and the ashes
Lift me up and help me to fly away
Lift me up above this
The broken, the empty
Lift me up and help me to fly away
Lift me up to fly away
Lift me up to fly away
Lift me up
That song is a rebellion against statism, and it makes no attempt to hide it. That song gives me hope that the entertainment culture has a movement rising within it that reflects the attitude of Five Finger Death Punch as a rock band. Such people will not blindly accept the statism of public education, of Obamacare, of a one world order through the United Nations. There is a growing subculture of open rebellion that is very similar to the one that came on the heels of the Jimmy Carter presidency, and with it the sentiments of Five Finger Death Punch who hit hard lyrically, controversially, and fearlessly proclaiming what everyone else is already feeling. The reason we love that music loud is to hear it over the noise of the statist world, the social rhetoric of the current progressives, the school levy sluts, the eco-terrorists and every anti-capitalist in existence. I do love such music loud………….as much so now as I always did.
Compliance is not an option………blind devotion to being ruled by some political, or academic elite is simply not going to happen………..not by me, or many people who I know. They will not willingly give up their guns, they will not simply go to jail without a major fight, and they will not keep saying yes to higher taxes, more imposing legislation, more cops, TSA agents, NSA spies, FBI peeping Toms, and endless parades of IRS agents working for a huge government union that wants to control individual lives and behavior. Peaceful transition from a free society into a statist one, now that the game is well-known, will not happen. Young people do not have the money to subsidize baby boomers with Obamacare and still pay off their student loans for jobs that don’t pay for one of those things, let alone both. An entire generation of young people let down, broke, and pissed off are coming to age and large statist governments think incorrectly that they will just roll over and………comply. They will not! Instead, they are looking for anything……….ANYTHING that will do as the song above states………….They want someone—-anyone to lift them up, and let them fly away from the nightmare created by years, and years, and years of massive statist governments that want control on every free mind that exits, and the byproduct of that action is rage driven by realized betrayal. So turn up the music and let it out………..because many people feel it. You are not alone. When you hear that song on the open streets of West Chester, don’t be surprised to look at the car where the song emerges and see me driving. It reflects my sentiments about the politics of our day…………….perfectly.
It was good to see Doc Thompson again with his producer Skip LeCombe. They invited me to a nice lunch today, and it was good to catch up on things as both of our lives have been terribly busy. One of the reasons for me that I’ve been so busy, as is the case with Doc and Skip, is that we are part of the 50 million people who finance the entire world leaving the rest of planet earth to mooch or beg off the labor of our efforts. Oh, I’m sorry dear reader; you probably don’t know what I’m talking about. Well, then you should listen to this clip from Doc’s show on The Blaze Radio Network explaining how and why only about 50 million people in the entire world personally fund everything…………….and I mean everything. Listen for yourself.
That is why I call Doc Thompson a friend.
To every arrogant barnacle that believes falsely that it is their military which protects the world, their economic engine that propels all free trade, and offers hopes of freedom to the unfortunate living under the thumb print of ruthless dictators and failed socialist experiments, it is not they who help the world, but the tax payer who does not have a government job, or takes money as a welfare recipient. Only members of the free-market who directly pay taxes which then subsidize everything in the world are the true supports from which everything else would otherwise crumble economically. For every government worker in any capacity they require a tax payer who works hard to cover the costs of their existence by looted money confiscated by the IRS.
If those 50 million tax payers stopped paying taxes and decided to take a government job, or worse yet, do nothing and sign up for one of the multiple government programs paying them to be unproductive like most of the other 50% of Americas currently are, and the rest of the billions in the world who depend on the economic engine of America to keep money flowing into their pockets—such as China, Europe and especially Russia, they would all tumble into chaos if the 50 million people Doc spoke about decided to stop showing up for work.
Schools would close, militaries would cease, every endeavor of mankind would stop if the very few 50 million taxpayers in America stopped carrying the billions of others on their backs to financial mediocrity. The 50 million taxpayers of America who are now a dying breed are the engine of the world economy. Without them, everything stops. Everything. There is no way for leftist pundits to spin this irony—as their hatred for the rich keeps them from seeing their own vulnerability. It is the very few, people like Doc Thompson, whom I know personally works multiple jobs and is really plugged into his career 24 hours a day, which provides a vehicle for every welfare recipient on earth to live off of. If Doc stopped going to work and joined ranks with the other government looters, where would the parasites be then? Where would the entire world be economically?
There is no dispute. The political left hopes that nobody notices this long-term scam which has been enacted upon America for the thieving benefit of the entire world. They hope that eventually destiny will not catch up with them. But it will. America is very close now to losing forever a majority of its taxpaying adults to the ranks of government moochers. Every year, there are declines in the 50 million member number. So far, the revenue losses have been offset with new taxes for the rich and corporate rates that are incredibly high. Slowly, high taxes are forcing members of the tax paying 50 million hiding from government theft by moving out of America and taking their companies with them to avoid the high corporate tax rates. In the not too distant future there just won’t be enough of them to pay for the needs of the rest of the world.
I does not matter if you agree or not with me or Doc Thompson. The proof is all around us. Think about it. How long does anybody think it can continue?
How long?
If you haven’t taken the time to listen to Doc’s broadcast above, you need to do that now. The most powerful parts of it are at the 14 minute mark.
The Bill Cunningham Show as it is today, and probably always was—is an act. Similar to how Cunningham runs his afternoon television show which has replaced the Jerry Springer Show as tabloid television of a salacious nature, the radio show that made him famous is also only a show. Cunningham has made a good living off pandering to various demographic types. Cunningham’s WLW conservative radio talk show is geared toward small government types. His television show is geared toward the typical school levy supporter and welfare recipient. But occasionally, Cunningham has on a good guest that says some really wonderful things. One such instance was the recent visit by Wayne Allyn Root representing his website, Root For America.com. Root is to the left of my political position, but nobody of any intelligence can argue with what he said during his appearance on 700 WLW recently. Have a listen.
Even though Cunningham waffles back and forth and stays in the current political center about where Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly is, broadcasts like that one are useful. The people to the left of O’Reilly and Cunningham are worlds away from where Root and I are. People like Obama and his kind might as well live on the tumbling asteroid of Pluto out on the edge of the earth’s solar system. Obama is not even close to being on the same planet of political ideology as most of America, particularly in the middle of the country from rural Pennsylvania to the mountains of Reno, Nevada. The only people who think the way Obama does are the conquered people who live in the big cities and are addicted to social government services, or people who work for the government. Most everyone else thinks and feels as Root does—they just don’t feel comfortable vocalizing it.
I agree with what Root said, but more than anything he was spot on in blaming most of America’s current problems on the failed public education system. He was right, there are too many liberal teachers ran by big labor unions with progressive political goals as their primary objective. It has been dangerous to allow those types of people to teach our generations of children, and the severity of that danger is evident in our present society. Education must be completely re-invented; it is a dismal failure in present form. It has delivered to a massive population all the wrong ideals, values, and political sentiments, and our nation is showing the damage. It is their fault primarily that nearly half the nation lives on Pluto with Obama while people like Root and I stand on the kind of ground which founded the freest country on earth in human history.
Wayne Allyn Root did not exaggerate about his comments on the state of America. The trouble is that most people don’t hear those types of comments often enough. Too many people are content to watch Cunningham’s afternoon television show, and skip the radio audience which broadcasts segments like the one with Root. Political diatribes with fierce conviction are seldom heard on television shows away from the cable channels—and that has allowed large portions of the nation to be pulled out into space away from the firm grounding of the American Constitution. But because of media like this website, those epic broadcasts can be shared with those who were watching television instead of listening to the radio. So dear reader, I would suggest you sent this to them, and enlighten them to the ways of the world from those who are sane and defending the world from those who aren’t.
What many people in modern America forget is that the current “president” of Russia was Vladimir Putin, who was a member of the KGB during the 80’s when the last days off the Cold War were most threatening the Soviet Union. Putin was an agent on the East German side of the Berlin Wall and was heavily active in counter-intelligence—(misleading information that the enemy doesn’t see coming.) This explains much of the current behavior of Russia—especially toward the United States where the hapless Marxist trained Barack Obama is easily out-maneuvered by Putin. Both Obama and Putin are trained in the ways of communism, but Putin has a lot more experience in counter-intelligence, leaving Obama witlessly out-maneuvered in most every engagement. But for clarity, Russia has been seeking ways to undermine America for many decades as shown in the above three planks of communism—seeking long term loans to keep communism alive in the European theater extending all the way to the Pacific Coast, spreading America too thin by using capitalism as a Cloward and Piven strategy of overload and destruction. The results can be seen today. When there is trouble in central Africa, America is there to help, when there is trouble in the Middle East, America is there to help, when there is trouble in India, Laos, Taiwan, Japan, Europe, South America, The United States is always there. Many KGB agents implementing the 45 Planks of Communism into American culture like Vladimir Putin knew how to use counter-intelligence to accomplish the task taking the good nature of America and using it against itself to destroy capitalism. CLICK HERE FOR CLEAR EXAMLES AND INTERVIEWS OF HOW THIS HAS HAPPENED.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (Russian: Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин, IPA: [vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪr vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪt͡ɕ ˈputʲɪn] ( listen) born 7 October 1952) is the President of Russia, a position he has held since 7 May 2012. He previously served as President from 2000 to 2008, and as Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012. During that last stint (2008 to 2012) he was also the Chairman of the United Russia political party.
Many of Putin’s actions are regarded by the domestic opposition and foreign observers as undemocratic.[5] The 2011 Democracy Indexstated that Russia was in “a long process of regression [that] culminated in a move from a hybrid to an authoritarian regime” in view of Putin’s candidacy and flawed parliamentary elections,[6] and American diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks allege that Russia has become a “virtual mafia state.”[7][8] Some critics describe him as a dictator,[9][10][11] allegations which Putin adamantly denies.
Putin joined the KGB in 1975 upon graduation, and underwent a year’s training at the 401st KGB school in Okhta, Leningrad. He then went on to work briefly in the Second Chief Directorate (counter-intelligence) before he was transferred to the First Chief Directorate, where among his duties was the monitoring of foreigners and consular officials in Leningrad.[37][38]
From 1985 to 1990, the KGB stationed Putin in Dresden, East Germany.[39] Following the collapse of the communist East German government, Putin was recalled to the Soviet Union and returned to Leningrad, where in June 1991 he assumed a position with the International Affairs section of Leningrad State University, reporting to Vice-Rector Yuriy Molchanov.[38] In his new position, Putin maintained surveillance on the student body and kept an eye out for recruits. It was during his stint at the university that Putin grew reacquainted with his former professor Anatoly Sobchak, then mayor of Leningrad.[40]
Putin finally resigned from the active state security services with the rank of lieutenant colonel on 20 August 1991 (with some attempts to resign made earlier),[40] on the second day of the KGB-supported abortive putsch against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.[41] Putin later explained his decision: “As soon as the coup began, I immediately decided which side I was on”, though he also noted that the choice was hard because he had spent the best part of his life with “the organs”.[42]
After the McCarthy hearings in America communists knew that they had to change their attack against the world starting with America—so they sought to legitimize communism in the world’s eyes by having countries that were communist in nature be included in word governing affairs. This was the first step they utilized to bring legitimacy to communism while working the angle of counter-intelligence to place communism into the public consciousness of society. It should be noted that Putin specifically was put in charge of surveillance at Leningrad State University specifically for the task of communist recruitment. The same sort of measures were being conducted at American universities, where KGB insurgents would plant the seeds of communism at pot parties and other student activities hoping to sow the seeds of discontent among the next generation of young capitalists who were encouraged to embrace communism instead. Largely, the attempt worked better than Putin and his other KGB operatives could have ever dared hope.
The goal of Russia from 1958 to the present was to legitimize communism in the eyes of the world while putting America on the guard, expending their resources on the world stage racking up massive debt so to implode on itself. After all, advisors to Ronald Reagan told him that the U.S.S.R in spite of the Beatles attempt to soften their image with their popular song, was choking on communism and could not out-spend America with their space program, or military. So Reagan turned up the spending and forced Russia into bankruptcy, destroying their nation with fiscal collapse. The KGB method was a slower burn, and is just now taking its effect in America. Putin, with all his modern smugness, senses the blood in the water, and is baiting America to its doom. As a counter-intelligence officer for the KGB, Putin sees where America is heading because he was a part of the initial strategy.
Modern America thought the war against communism was over when the calendar year of 1990 hit. But the KGB had planted the seeds of communism in the media, in education, in business, and virtually everywhere that human beings endeavored—and those seeds have grown up to sprout leaves as complete plants. The blooms of communism are alive for all to see today under the changed name of progressivism—and the counter-intelligence of the KGB—of people like Putin was so effective that people do not see it even when they look directly at it with their own eyes. It is communism that drives the local school levy, it is communism that halts business in favor “green technology,” it is communism that holds the world in paralysis through indecision over even basic concepts of goodness. Communism is alive and it is still a threat. Their solitary enemy is capitalism—the complete and utter destruction of everything that is built off that economic philosophy. And they are chomping at the bit for their long term plans to grow into the poison that will destroy America for good.
Over the weekend the “For Lakota” group of naïve, well-intentioned parents hit the neighborhoods talking up support for the levy. As I watched them, I saw nice people who truly mean well going door to door trying to win votes for a massive tax increase on property owners. They believe with all their hearts that what they are doing is best for the children—and a part of me admired their effort. But, that doesn’t make them right, just well-intentioned. A zombie craves blood and the sacrificial sustenance from others to survive. From a certain point of view, even a zombie can be made to look innocent and compassionate—after all they simply want to live—it doesn’t matter if they consume others to do it. They don’t want to die, so to continue, they must consume flesh. The same holds true of the Lakota Levy supporter who has grown over time to believe that the Lakota schools are the only means of redemption for their children, so they hit the streets going door to door talking to the people of the community with a friendly smile, and information they are taking directly to the voters. I found myself feeling sorry for those poor people the way I do a dog that has been dropped off on the side of a highway for abandonment. The dog looking crushed because the love of its life abandoned it for convenience seeks desperately for direction—and there are always only three possible fates for the lost dog—it can become wild and eat scraps the rest of its life, it may be captured by animal control and end up in a kennel possibly finding a home, but likely being put to sleep, or it will be hit by a car sending it to a grueling, painful death. Those are the metaphors I thought of watching the For Lakota people go door to door with their pro tax information. The reason I felt that way is shown on the chart seen below which shows the real story of the Lakota Levy of 2013.
On the chart, it is obvious the student enrollment will decrease dramatically in the years to come, yet Lakota plans to spend extraordinary amounts of money on salaries inflating wages that already average over $63K per year exacerbating them even further. In fact, the salary proposals are reckless—even by my standards. The graph shows clearly how much money should be budgeted based on enrollment numbers if all things stayed the same—and teachers with staff kept their current inflated wages. If enrollment at Lakota was 17,000 students per year, the budget should be $150 million. Yet it is clear by the chart that enrollment will drop down to under 16,000 by the year 2017 yet Lakota is proposing to pay employees at rates suitable to a school enrollment of around 18,000 students. The well-intentioned “For Lakota” volunteers going door to door obviously don’t care, or have not been told that the school is planning to over-pay their employees and carry staff that isn’t needed due to a 2000 student reduction in overall enrollment. They are simply mindlessly conveying the talking points given to them by the school.
The literature those volunteers are passing out states emphatically that the tax increase proposal is going for building upgrades, instructional technology, software and computers that will allow students to learn on the type of advanced systems that are needed to give them an advantage in preparing for higher education. Preparing current academic programs and modernizing courses. Offering additional art, music, and physical education for grades 4-6. Offering bus service to students in grades 2-6 who live farther than a mile from school. Encouraging participation in extra-cirriculars by reducing fees. Strengthening school security and maintaining current facilities. In other words, Lakota wishes to back-track from the mistakes they made trying to force previous levies down the community’s throat, and now want to offer all those items as though there were some type of bonus—like buying a special item on an $19.95 infomercial—then learning you get not just one—but two if you act now. The scam is all the same.
The literature from the For Lakota campaign goes on to state that the current budget is balanced, that they cut annual spending by $20.8 million, that salaries for all teachers and support staff have been frozen for the last 3 years (except for educational advancement—getting master’s and doctorate degrees—etc), and that the last levy was approved in 2005—the same year that YouTube was started. What all that nonsense is missing is the information on the chart above. Everything stated might justify a few million dollars as far as security, along with brick and mortar costs. The rest is from unmanaged salaries driven by collective bargaining agreements.
The sadness I felt for the levy supporters was the same as might be felt for an abandoned dog. Lakota knows what they are doing—they have the same information that is shown on that chart—because the numbers come from the same sources. They know that they are misleading the public at large—they know it full well. Yet they allow the very gullible, and numerically challenged to continue to mis-represent themselves with emotional statements that facts don’t support.
The truth is in the chart above, declining enrollment cannot be hidden from the public. Lakota is trying to do everything it can to get people to look at everything but what the real financial situation is—and that is Lakota will have to have large lay-offs just to deal with the current reality. Even with their work-reductions they could still keep their inflated wages and even offer pay increases—but they would have to reduce their staff considerably—which they will have to do one way or the other. With those facts known, Lakota will be operating with massive budget surpluses till 2017 where they plan to ask for more money then, and again around 2021, then again around 2025 going on forever. Every levy attempt will add around an additional $16 dollars per month to most house payments. For new residents who have come from high tax zones, especially from the East, that may not seem like a big deal. But for long-term residents like me who have been in the area for many decades and plan to remain for many more I can easily see taxes per $100,000 in assessment going up $100 by 2025—and there is no reason for it other than the misleading statements provided on the For Lakota literature. The information is misleading because there is money for those things right now—without a levy, and next year there will be even more, because declining enrollment will drive the surplus. But that is only if Lakota does the management side of their jobs and cut employees based on student enrollment. This means the only reason for the current levy is to avoid the painful process of cutting workers at Lakota to directly respond to enrollment needs. Lakota has a lack of will to engage in that process—and that is why it is sad to see them using the efforts of nice people to cover their crimes of indecision and mismanagement.
I am currently undertaking an explanation of the 45 Planks of Communism listed in the 1958 book The Naked Communist, which was unleashed upon an unsuspecting public many years ago to fulfill the strategic aims of global communism. Such an aim seems remote to a society addicted to sports, visual entertainment like pornography, flashy music, and gossipy story lines—but little do they know that all such devices were used as a means to destroy them philosophically. It was discovered at the start of the 20th Century that more than luck and favor of the Gods led to a successful life, it had more to do with the psychology of the mind—which is driven by the philosophy that a mind holds—so the way to destroy a human being was to destroy their philosophy. The way to destroy a collective society is not with guns, tanks, or massive troop deployments—as several world wars have proven—but to destroy their general social philosophy. During the Cold War Russian communists not able to compete economically against America, and knowing that they would eventually lose that race set out to perform an all-out assault against America’s philosophy of capitalism and individual freedom for their own preservation. That race ran out on them by 1989 when Communist Russia collapsed economically upon itself. Yet their long burning policies enacted many years earlier had already interrupted American culture taking much longer than planned by KGB agents exclusively because of the efforts by President Ronald Reagan who was the last president in American history to stand vocally, and principally opposed to communism. (Other American presidents opposed vocally communism, but principally supported progressive causes of statism)
Communists knew they had to solve a critical problem in 1958. Communism did not produce the same kind of economic power that capitalism did so the only way they could expect to hold their own on the world stage was to create Plank 4 on their list of 45 communist goals in that book of destitution released by Cleon Skousen.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
By encouraging free trade with communist nations, using the United States funded United Nations as the platform to achieve the task, communists were able to hide their production problems from the world, and even their own people. Collectivization in the Soviet Union was enforced under Stalin between 1928 and 1940. The goal of this policy was to consolidate individual land and labour into collective farms: mainly kolkhozy and sovkhozy. The Soviet leadership was confident that the replacement of individual peasant farms by collective ones would immediately increase the food supply for urban population, the supply of raw materials for processing industry, and agricultural exports. Collectivization was thus regarded as the solution to the crisis of agricultural distribution (mainly in grain deliveries) that had developed since 1927.[1] This problem became more acute as the Soviet Union pressed ahead with its ambitious industrialization program.[2]
In the early 1930s over 91% of agricultural land was “collectivized” as rural households entered collective farms with their land, livestock, and other assets. The sweeping collectivization often involved tremendous human and social costs.
After the emancipation of the serfs in 1861, peasants gained control of about half of the land they had previously cultivated, and began to ask for the redistribution of all land.[3] The Stolypin agricultural reforms between 1905 and 1914 gave incentives for the creation of large farms, but these ended during World War I. The Russian Provisional Government accomplished little during the difficult World War I months, though Russian leaders continued to promise redistribution. Peasants began to turn against the Provisional Government and organized themselves into land committees, which together with the traditional peasant communes became a powerful force of opposition. When Vladimir Leninreturned to Russia on April 3, 1917, he promised the people “Peace and Land,” the latter appearing as a promise to the peasants for the redistribution of confiscated land.
During the period of war communism, however, the policy of Prodrazvyorstka meant peasantry were obligated to surrender the surpluses of almost any kind of agricultural produce for a fixed price. When the Russian Civil War ended, the economy changed with the New Economic Policy (NEP) and specifically, the policy of prodnalog or “food tax.” This new policy was designed to re-build morale among embittered farmers, and lead to increased production, while as a progressive tax, those with more money paid more.
Until this time, the Bolsheviks allowed the peasants to take the land and farm it privately.[3] In the 1920s, however, they began to lean toward the idea of collective agriculture. Memories of World War I were that soldiers from the Green cadres (Yugoslavia) maintained ties with the Red Guards (Russia) and helped them with food, sugar, tea, tobacco, etc. and they transferred their experience with the organization of agricultural cooperatives of the former Military Frontier, when the Red Army began to conquer Tomsk in Siberia.[4] The pre-existing communes, which periodically redistributed land, did little to encourage improvement in technique, and formed a source of power beyond the control of the Soviet government. Although the income gap between wealthy and poor farmers did grow under the NEP, it remained quite small, but the Bolsheviks began to take aim at the wealthy kulaks. Clearly identifying this group was difficult, though, since only about 1% of the peasantry employed labourers (the basic Marxist definition of a capitalist), and 82% of the country’s population were peasants.[3]
The equal land shares among the peasants gave rise to food shortages in the cities. Although grain had nearly returned to pre-war production levels, the large estates who had produced it for urban markets had been divided up.[3] Not interested in acquiring money to purchase overpriced goods, the peasants chose to eat their produce rather than sell it, so city dwellers only saw half the grain that had been available before the war.[3] Before the revolution, peasants controlled only 2,100,000 km² divided into 16 million holdings, producing 50% of the food grown in Russia and consuming 60% of total food production. After the revolution, the peasants controlled 3,140,000 km² divided into 25 million holdings, producing 85% of the food, but consuming 80% of what they grew (meaning that they ate 68% of the total).[5]
The Soviet Communist Party had never been happy with private agriculture and saw collectivization as the best remedy for the problem. Lenin claimed “Small-scale production gives birth to capitalism and the bourgeoisie constantly, daily, hourly, with elemental force, and in vast proportions.”[6] Apart from ideological goals, Joseph Stalin also wished to embark on a program of rapid heavy industrialization which required larger surpluses to be extracted from the agricultural sector in order to feed a growing industrial work force and to pay for imports of machinery (by exporting grain).[7] Social and ideological goals would also be served though mobilization of the peasants in a co-operative economic enterprise which would produce higher returns for the State and could serve a secondary purpose of providing social services to the people.
Most historians agree that the disruption caused by collectivization and the resistance of the peasants significantly contributed to the Great Famine of 1932–1933, especially in Ukraine, a region famous for its rich soil (chernozem). This particular period is called “Holodomor” in Ukrainian. During the similar famines of 1921–1923, numerous campaigns – inside the country, as well as internationally – were held to raise money and food in support of the population of the affected regions. Nothing similar was done during the drought of 1932–1933, mainly because the information about the disaster was suppressed by Stalin.[55] Stalin also undertook a purge of the Ukrainian communists and intelligentsia, with devastating long-term effects on the area.[56] Many Ukrainian villages were blacklisted and penalized by government decree for perceived sabotage of food supplies.[57] Moreover, migration of population from the affected areas was restricted.[58][59]
About 40 million people were affected by the food shortages including areas near Moscow where mortality rates increased by 50%.[60]The center of the famine, however, was Ukraine and surrounding regions, including the Don, the Kuban, the Northern Caucasus and Kazakhstan where the toll was one million dead. The countryside was affected more than cities, but 120,000 died in Kharkiv, 40,000 in Krasnodar and 20,000 in Stavropol.[60]
The declassified Soviet archives show that there were 1.54 million officially registered deaths in Ukraine from famine.[61]Alec Nove claims that registration of deaths largely ceased in many areas during the famine.[62] However, it’s been pointed out that the registered deaths in the archives were substantially revised by the demographics officials. The older version of the data showed 600,000 fewer deaths in Ukraine than the current, revised statistics.[61] In The Black Book of Communism, the authors claim the number of dead was at least 4 million, and characterize the Great Famine as “a genocide of the Ukrainian people”.[63][64]
Due to high government production quotas peasants received, as a rule, less for their labor than they did before collectivization, and some refused to work. Merle Fainsod estimated that, in 1952, collective farm earnings were only one-fourth of the cash income from private plots on Soviet collective farms.[44] In many cases, the immediate effect of collectivization was to reduce output and cut the number of livestock in half. The subsequent recovery of the agricultural production was also impeded by the losses suffered by the Soviet Union during World War II and the severe drought of 1946. However the largest loss of livestock was caused by collectivization for all animals except pigs.[45] The numbers of cows in the USSR fell from 33.2 million in 1928 to 27.8 million in 1941 and to 24.6 million in 1950. The number of pigs fell from 27.7 million in 1928 to 27.5 million in 1941 and then to 22.2 million in 1950. The number of sheep fell from 114.6 million in 1928 to 91.6 million in 1941 and to 93.6 million in 1950. The number of horses fell from 36.1 million in 1928 to 21.0 million in 1941 and to 12.7 million in 1950. Only by the late 1950s did Soviet farm animal stocks begin to approach 1928 levels.[45]
Despite the initial plans, collectivization, accompanied by the bad harvest of 1932–1933, did not live up to expectations. Between 1929 and 1932 there was a massive fall in agricultural production resulting in famine in the countryside. Stalin and the CPSU blamed the prosperous peasants, referred to as ‘kulaks‘ (Russian: fist), who were organizing resistance to collectivization. Allegedly, many kulaks had been hoarding grain in order to speculate on higher prices, thereby sabotaging grain collection. Stalin resolved to eliminate them as a class.
The Soviet government responded to these acts by cutting off food rations to peasants and areas where there was opposition to collectivization, especially in Ukraine. Many peasant families were forcibly resettled in Siberia and Kazakhstan into exile settlements, and most of them died on the way. Estimates suggest that about a million so-called ‘kulak’ families, or perhaps some 5 million people, were sent to forced labor camps.[46][47]
On August 7, 1932, the Decree about the Protection of Socialist Property proclaimed that the punishment for theft of kolkhoz or cooperative property was the death sentence, which “under extenuating circumstances” could be replaced by at least ten years of incarceration. With what some called the Law of Spikelets (“Закон о колосках”), peasants (including children) who hand-collected or gleaned grain in the collective fields after the harvest were arrested for damaging the state grain production. Martin Amis writes in Koba the Dreadthat 125,000 sentences were passed for this particular offense in the bad harvest period from August 1932 to December 1933.
The deaths from starvation or disease directly caused by collectivization have been estimated as between 4 and 10 million. According to official Soviet figures, some 24 million peasants disappeared from rural areas but only 12.6 million moved to state jobs[citation needed]. The implication is that the total death toll (both direct and indirect) for Stalin’s collectivization program was on the order of 12 million people.[47]
It is said that in 1945, Joseph Stalin confided to Winston Churchillat Yalta that 10 million people died in the course of collectivization.[48] However this allegation has been criticized by historian Michael Parenti.[citation needed] At Yalta, Churchill asked Stalin about the famine in the USSR to which Stalin responded by raising his hands, gesturing an unwillingness to speak about the subject, which Churchill, counting the Soviet leader’s fingers, interpreted as Stalin confessing a death-toll of 10 million people.[citation needed]
American farming unlike Russia and China did not have such statist restrictions, and food was produced relatively easily, and cheaply under the capitalist system of The United States. Even though the landmasses of both Russia and China are much greater than The United States, per acre, America produces much more food. Knowing this, communists had to find a way to hide their inefficiencies and stop the peasant uprisings that occur under communist’s systems after years of continuous failure, so they implemented Plank Number 4, which encouraged global trade without restriction of political ideology. This allowed communists to appear efficient to the people of their countries while implementing the global attempt of wealth redistribution. Over time, it has become expected that America has a responsibility to feed the world, as the Washington Post article below indicates at the link.
The suggestion is that regardless of what a country’s political philosophy may be, whether or not it is communist, socialist, authoritarian, or capitalist that the needs of the many out-weight the needs of the few, and that if there are a lot of hungry people in a communist country, the world—namely America—owes them the worth of their labor. The suggestion by communists in Plank Number 4 is that communist countries are entitled to the welfare of the world in spite of their failed political philosophy because they exist. This allows communist governments to maintain their failure without inciting their people into riot, which was the point of their strategy. The communist countries can then drain the wealth of capitalist nations destroying their enemy while using their enemies’ effort to feed their own starving people—which is indicative to all collective societies.
The result is in the expectation that America should feed the world at our expense allowing socialist countries and communist countries to pretend their economies, and philosophies are equal to The United States through wealth redistribution. The communist does not care what creates wealth; they only seek to destroy it for the aims of communism. Once the world has been emptied of its wealth, it can then be remade into the communist state under one world-wide rule—which was always the intention.
These are the reasons for Communist Plank # 4 and its implementation into American culture.
It used to be 700 WLW that I did a lot of radio work for, but over time they decided to take a noticeably centralist political position and stay close to their core audience, which is sports radio. But I still do a considerable amount of radio in other markets, and one of the most is my friend Matt Clark from WAAM in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Recently Matt and I did a show together about American Excepetionalism and Walt Disney to bring to mind why America was the only country on earth who could have produced a Walt Disney type of person, let alone an entire company. Many countries have tried as the blue print is evident for all to see. Walt Disney even tells everyone how he did it at one of his amusement parks in Florida—the Hollywood Studios “History of Walt Disney.” But those countries can’t and never will, because success is more than just performing the action—it is a philosophy. To thank me for doing that particular one hour radio episode, Matt sent me a coffee mug that he had bought at Disney World showing all the different logs of that “happiest place on earth” which have been designed over the years. CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW. It arrived unexpectedly weeks after the interview and it has taken me time to sort out my feelings about it. The surface emotions were one of gratitude and kindness. Matt didn’t have to do anything to thank me. I enjoy doing radio shows, so gifts weren’t necessary. However, there was more to the mug than just a simple gift. Matt went to the time and trouble of purchasing it for me, and having it sent to my house at a reasonable expense. The mug itself wasn’t any different from one which could be purchased from a local Wal-Mart or other retailer. But the fact that this mug came from Disney World had meaning which Matt and I mutually understood, containing the symbol of what America is, or has been. That symbol was captured well by the Disney Company and is nearly all that remains of the old philosophy of The United States—the one of self-reliance, and innovation. Matt sending me the mug was intended as a message across time and space in recognition that he and I know the secret which is lost to the human race. That secret was the knowledge of an attack that occurred many years ago, and slowly. Walt Disney, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne and Ayn Rand, along with many others in Hollywood attempted to warn the world of the attack. CLICK HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. But by 1958 the attack, by a secret Trojan Horse many years in the making was unleashed in full view of all. The battle plan was listed in the book by Cleon Skousen, The Naked Communist, but it was too late. The Horse had already been opened behind enemy lines and the troops of world-wide communism had spread out to strike down an unsuspecting public.
In the book The Naked Communist, the means for taking over the world in favor of communism was listed so that those sympathetic to communism could step in and know the battle plan quickly, and acclimate themselves to the climate. Those in denials of such a plan would ignore the book and turn away from the warning of Walt Disney and Ayn Rand hoping they were wrong—but they weren’t. The list of strategies listed in that dreadful book is shown below. I’ve covered them before, but it is apparent that more needs to be done to explain what has happened in modern American culture, so I am going to take the considerable effort of explaining each of them one by one in upcoming articles—starting with the first. The rest can be seen in the following list. Read them then attempt to deny that such an attack has not happened. After the list is viewed I will begin with issue #1 and explain the strategy behind it and implementation value. The list was read before the House of Representatives in 1963, as evident by the link at the conclusion, but by then it was too late. The communists had already infiltrated both parties, and freedom had lost its majority rule. America had been prepared to fight off any enemy that showed its swords, guns and missiles to us. But it was not prepared to fight an attack on its philosophy which was conducted with pinheaded academics and political bureaucrats.
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Since the first three items on that list are so related, let us deal with them as a whole so to understand the intent of the communists in listing them in the first place. They are:
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength
The world, particularly Russia was very weary of the manufacturing capacity by The United States. Through capitalism, America had wealth which allowed it to dominate all other militaries—so communism would never spread so long as America had a military force which stood in the way. So the only strategy available to the communists was to develop a coexistence strategy that crippled the moral aptitude of America from engaging in war. The Peace Sign was created as a way to stimulate the compassion of American youth into turning against their government’s willingness to out produce weapons of mass destruction, which communist nations could not keep up with under their statist policies.
By the 1960s the Peace Sign was common, and in 2013 it is even sold as jewelry to unsuspecting young people who think its “hip.” The message of global peace is wide-spread and well understood, but it was started by the communists who knew they could not impose themselves upon an America that could destroy their country a thousand times over with firepower created under the unrestricted aptitude of capitalism. The human race had been in a sprint for nuclear power, and under capitalism, America had arrived first gaining the high ground in a global strategy. The only way to take America away from that high ground was to convince them to allow every country in the world to share their strategic position.
Nobody in their right mind wishes for nuclear war, or even armament that could destroy the world millions of times over. However, if America had not gained such supremacy first, the world—especially the towel headed extremists of the Middle-East would have used such weapons to destroy all members of Christianity, Buddhism, even the cannibal eating tribes of New Guinea into oblivion just to fulfill their religious direction to destroy all infidels—anyone who is not of the Islamic faith. The weapons of the world are only one madman away from global threat, and America has been all that stands in the way of that takeover. Communists wish to remove the threat of madmen altogether by micromanaging every life into servitude to the state. They believe falsely that they can stop such attacks with a global communist government. Before they could do that, they had to remove America as the barrier to tyranny with capitalism. So long as America stood as a symbol of freedom, economically, morally, and strategically, communism would be a stalled case.
The rest is history. Of course nobody calls the “peace sign” a symbol of communist menace. People don’t even call communism—communism. They call it “socialism,” Labour Party philosophy, the Democratic platform, progressivism, the concerns of the “green movement,” they call it everything but what the roots are—and that is communism. Because of the rest of the 45 communist planks, people have forgotten what the threat of communism was completely, which I will cover in detail with future articles. But Walt Disney knew of the danger and is the only place left in America where communism is still kept at bay. Communism has certainly left its mark on the Disney Company as compliance regulations have made its presence known through the legal system, but the ideal of freedom that Walt Disney captured through his entertainment empire protected America with a Trojan Horse of its own.
When Matt Clark sent me the mug, he was sending me a secret message letting me know that he understood. That secret message is that Uncle Walt is the method to undercutting the infiltration that communists have ushered in upon American culture and that no matter how dire the situation gets; we both know that freedom from communism is again obtainable. To touch and feel that freedom, all one need to do is look at the logo of the Disney World complex, and understand that communists could have never created such a place under any conditions. Only a free people could ever conceive such a thing as Disney World—which communists could never hope to aspire to. Matt understands as I do, that the best way to beat the 45 Planks of Communism is to undo each of those points one by one—and the best way to do that is not with guns, force, or legislation—but with creativity—which the communist is dreadfully lacking. The way to beat a communist is with a superior intellect and creative force that cannot be duplicated under communist regimes—and to use that high ground to finally destroy a foe that thrives off public sentiment and emotional mandate which drives inaction.
So Matt, I will enjoy the mug. It sits proudly on our counter top when not in use. The emblems upon it speak of a truth mutually understood, and a long battle yet to fight against the thoughtless tirades of The Naked Communist—exposed not due to a lack of clothing, but their philosophical attack which has finally been acknowledged for what it always was.
The very expensive wine was flowing freely at the type of dinner that cost a small group of five over $2500. It was the type of thing that business professionals and political science majors spend many thousands of dollars in college hoping they’ll achieve some day. The minds were powerful; the participants were dressed in their latest fashions from Nordstroms, and the topics were at the top of discussion in any level of human endeavor. It was a power dinner and at 8 PM in the evening my wife sent me a text………..”are you done yet.” I replied, “not yet, I’m about to wrap it up. I’ll be home very soon. Get everything ready.” The handshakes concluded and all members of the small party left into the parking lot by different trajectories as I headed for my motorcycle parked far away but in clear view of the restaurant. I do this so my enemies cannot tamper with my transportation while I’m involved in these kinds of activities. I never sit with my back to a crowd, and I never sit somewhere where I cannot see my transportation at all times. It is an old trick I learned from friends I who were “hit men” during the 80’s working for a branch of the mob stationed in Chicago responsible for the Chester Road portion of business coming out of Sharonville, Ohio. Precautions no longer necessary I headed home quickly and within 25 minutes was in front of the same computer station that had been set up 9 months prior for the solitary purpose of playing an online game called The Old Republic. My wife and I have duel computers built specifically for heavy online gaming, and she was waiting for me with both units powered up and ready to go. I sat down and we began to play the same video game that we had played almost every day since the previous December when we started our journey into a galaxy far, far away set in a time, a long time ago.
I consider the time my wife and I have spent playing that game together to be far more important than the value of the dinner described, or any other dealing I’ve been involved with at any point in my life. The reason can be seen in the above video. In the real world that we all live in there are veils of deceit that permeate everything—even the dinner mentioned. There is a sense that nothing is as it really is—that everything is dressed up to disguise the ugliness that is left unmentioned. Our society is at war, but nobody discusses it—the war is not over racism, equal rights, or even political ideology—but over philosophy—even religion. It is a war over values which nobody discusses. However, in the Star Wars game my wife and I have spent well over a thousand hours playing together as one of our favorite past times, values are the theme of the entire game, and I relish the environment.
I feel most comfortable on the space ship I have in the game in the middle of space away from the noise of the busy metropolis worlds, or the baron outposts that exist in the outer rim. The ship is mine, the space is mine, and the control I have of what goes on within it are for me and me alone. Of all the cool things to do in The Old Republic my favorite are the space missions. They are not traditional flight simulators, but the graphic combat is absolutely astounding. I never tire of them. In that place the perspective of existence is easy to see. The values of the game make sense to me, and the war between the factions eluded to in the above video are those of our modern age, which go unsaid in the dinner meetings previously described. In such meetings it is permissible to discuss football team power rankings, baseball playoff scenarios, and the latest in fashion, but not the things that really matter—philosophy. But in The Old Republic, my wife and I can play side by side on many far flung worlds against players who adhere openly to the opposite philosophy, the fight between statism represented by the Imperial players, and individual freedom represented by players of The Old Republic. The fight for freedom versus control is out in the open and obvious. Those attracted to the Imperial faction tend to support statism, while those who support the Republic tend to support individual freedom, and within the confines of that game, it is easier to see the boundaries that exist in the real world—and I relish the honesty.
I have said it on many occasions, I believe Star Wars and their movies, the television shows, the many novels, the comics, and the video games are bringing a philosophy to tomorrow’s world that will have far-reaching consequences deep into the future. Those consequences are stepped carefully around during dinner meetings as nobody feels comfortable discussing them in public, because most people feel unqualified to express their feelings about philosophy. But philosophy is the foundation of thought, and without firmness in a manner of belief, people have a tendency to drift in their convictions. However, in the world of The Old Republic, the characters are not shy about their beliefs, and they are willing to fight to support them—which for my wife and I, is why we’d rather play that game together, than do just about anything else. Meetings like the one I was engaged in do not impress her. But beating a terrible villain on a remote world in TheOld Republic does.
When I arrived at my game that day my wife had snacks lined up by my keyboard ready for two or three hours of gaming. Her computer sits right next to mine and our characters link up online so we can travel together in that virtual world the way we would in the real one. We both love the game for its honesty—and for the commitment to goodness that TheOld Republic stands for. I enjoy fighting for that Republic the way I’d like to fight for the American Republic—if only people in the real world were as honest with their beliefs, as they are within the world of a video game. Under such conditions, I will choose the honesty of fiction over the falseness of reality.
There is a freedom in the of The Old Republic that does not exist in the real world of current, but it should. The philosophy of America articulated through The Constitution allows for that freedom, but in practice, it has been surrendered to discussion about sports teams, and redundant trivia—leaving the most important things in life unrepresented. In The Old Republic I am free to punish evil, and stand for good without the worry and concern of confrontation with statist government. In the real world there is constant worry about arrests, legal costs, and social castigation for doing the right things—and standing up for what’s right over what’s wrong. In The Old Republic, such concerns do not exist, which is why my wife and I prefer that environment over all others. That is the reason even after a long day associating with the kind of people young professionals dream of growing up to correlate with, and dinning in luxury among—my eye was on the clock dreaming of getting home to my wife who awaited me at the spaceport of Corellia. It is then that we experience freedom, and justice the way the human mind desires—away from the failed philosophies, and political corruption that leads to war, and the suppression of freedom in the real Republic of America. It is in the fictional world of the computer where real freedom resides, and why video games in general are so popular—and hold so much power over the minds of tomorrow. I foresee a literal day when the video above comes true as shown, in the world of the living, of the real. The statists are out to destroy those who cherish freedom, and the fight has not yet manifested beyond unspoken words over wine glasses and sports trivia. But it’s coming……….trust me. For now, the only world that matters is the one in The Old Republic—where honesty is clearer through the lost art of philosophy accompanied by the sights, sounds, and action from a computer generated world that is freer providing relief from the real world we are all chained to.
My wife and I have never really returned from our vacation that started so many months ago during the cold December months of late 2012. I have cut back my personal meetings and interactions to a bare minimum in favor of this fictional world because the vacation has been that good, so good that not even the indulgencies of opulence conducted under luxurious and socially acceptable conditions hold a candle to tasting freedom within the purely imagination driven world of The Old Republic.
