ANTIFA: The truth behind the mask ~ Fox News Video

A look into the domestic terror organization ANTIFA and how it is attempting to take over the current peaceful protests of the George Floyd death. #FoxNews
We can all learn a lot by watching this documentary report on Antifa. I think we can all see the danger that faces us. This group wants to be known as "activists." That is such a joke. Why, yes, I can easily think of them as domestic terrorists. But don't forget, groups like this operate on a global scale. Who is funding them? Is the mainstream fake news media covering for them?

Who is John Galt? ~ By Lord Monckton

Lord Monckton
Lord Monckton asks if freedom-loving tycoons will begin to vanish

You will find this column by Lord Monckton to be very informative as it examines the similarities and differences between Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and the real world of today:
Prescient though Ayn Rand was, she could not have foreseen the sheer, staggering number of deaths caused directly by socialism in its various hateful, hate-filled forms over the past century.

And now these murderous creatures propose to establish no less than a totalitarian world government, with overriding powers of taxation, of regulation and of enforcement. There is to be a new climate court to bring to heel the few nations whose leaders have found the courage to speak out against the screeching harpies of environmentalist socialism.

In the past, those who wanted to escape national or international socialism could escape from Germany or Russia or China. But, when very nearly every nation on Earth has signed the new and tyrannous Treaty of Paris, where shall we go, those of us in whose breast still burns that flame of freedom?
So, who is John Galt? You won't find that out in this commentary and blog post. You'll have to read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand to find out. But at the same time, you may just learn that there may be a very nefarious reason why the Obama administration fears tea partiers more than ISIS. Just sayin'...

Who is John Galt?

Last year, the Ayn Rand Institute was kind enough to send me a copy of "Atlas Shrugged," the masterwork of that great prophetess of liberty and of free markets. I read all 1,100 pages in two days. For, although the novel has a powerful political message, and one that America is ignoring at her peril, it…

New word for the N.Y. Times: 'Fasmunists' ~ By Lord Monckton

Exclusive: Lord Monckton reacts to 'climate scam' piece warning of 'next genocide'

The odious Snyder deserves the minting of a new word. For there are two species of totalitarian socialism on this planet, alas, and that shambling, bleating wretch is the very embodiment and quintessence of both. There is communist socialism, which believes that everything that moves should be nationalized and that everything that doesn't move should be arrested or left to rust, and down with the United States. And there is fascist socialism, which believes grinding the poor under its jack-booted heel and cozying up to big business and allowing it to be independent just so long as it toes the party line, and down with the United States.

The New York Times and its dismal professor of silly walks and cupcake-baking are communists and fascists rolled up into one. They are fasmunists. It's an ugly word for ugly people. Heil Snyder!

New word for the N.Y. Times: 'Fasmunists'

The Marxstream news media have always been champions of every passing totalitarian fad, however murderous. Hitler only got away with the slaughter of 6 million Jews because the Western news media fawned upon him and demanded appeasement almost until the first shots were fired in the Second World War. Likewise, the totalitarian press fawned upon Communism,…

From freedom to fascism in a few easy steps ~ By Bob Livingston

In America we have benevolent totalitarianism. This is a term that we created to describe the modern system of government that is fascism in all but name. It is all hidden under that loving word “democracy.” This is a political lock with an iron grip on the minds of the population.

Any political, economic, or military alchemy or chicanery is hidden behind the word “democracy.” This is a major, major key to understanding reality today.
So, after reading this column, do you get the idea that the elections don't matter?  That there is no way we can ever elect the people that can, or will try to, turn things around?  However, I really have no intention to post this column here in order to depress you.

While Bob Livingston explains how America got to this point of "benevolent totalitarianism," he doesn't mention if there is a way to reverse the transformation of America.  There is, but if it took "just over 200 years" to go from freedom to Fascism in America, it will probably take a few more hundred years to return the genie of Fascism back into the bottle.  We can't do it overnight without God's intervention! Just sayin'...
America still has all the symbols of liberty and all the trappings of human freedom. It is totalitarianism made palatable with a democratic aura.

So what is the difference between ugly and obvious Nazi fascism and modern fascism under the pretense of democracy? Modern fascism is hidden and twisted under an aura of benevolence.

From freedom to fascism in a few easy steps
By Bob Livingston

Posted on June 29, 2015 on PersonalLiberty.com

Politicians know this ruse well: If they want to put something illegal or immoral upon the people, they simply create names that convey something good and/or operate in secret to cover their chicanery.

The president and Congress have used this old ruse once again as they move forward the so-called free trade treaties, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The treaties are so secretive that congressweasels had to sign nondisclosure statements to view them in secret rooms, and they cannot discuss specifics or take notes of the treaties. Most of the congressweasels did not even bother to read the treaties before voting for them, but they tell us they are for our own good.

So here we have Congress legislating away American sovereignty through stealth and deception, aided and abetted by the [distracting] clamor over a Confederate battle flag flying in South Carolina.

And over there we have new calls for gun control under the guise of “bipartisanship” from Sens. Pat Toomey and Joe Manchin following the shooting of nine Christians worshiping in a church. Never mind that the shooter, a deranged, bigoted, drug-addled psychopath broke no fewer than 10 laws in the process of committing his heinous crime. The elites tell us another gun law would have certainly stopped him in his tracks, and removing the flag aforetime would have certainly ended his bigoted notions.

Next we have, the Supreme Court assaulting religious liberty and the historical tradition of marriage with a power-usurping ruling legalizing so-called “gay marriage.

Propaganda is distortion to promote illegitimate government designs or to promote usury commerce. Behind every propaganda message, there is the transfer of wealth and power to the corporate state. The propaganda covers the slide toward fascism. In fascism, as in America today, commerce and government overlap.

We have come from freedom to fascism in America in just over 200 years and done so without a shot being fired.

War socialism ~ By Ellis Washington

Pay very close attention to this column. Read it carefully. I will be explaining why this is so important in a moment.
The more things change the more they stay the same. Look at the propaganda posters above promoting "change" through national socialism, Democratic socialism and Marxist socialism. Remember that progressives and Democratic socialists like Obama always campaigns as doves or sheep, but under the dove's feather lies a humanitarian hawk, and under the sheep's clothing lies a ravenous, warmongering wolf promoting war as an instrument for achieving their progressive, fascist values by any means necessary.

Hot wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya; war unionism in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, New Jersey; international economic wars in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Britain, France, Germany; anarchy in the Middle East and genocide in Africa … It's all war socialism, and it's all purposefully planned to destroy the West, Christianity, Israel and capitalism by collapsing the system into totalitarian chaos, systemic atheism, and from the ashes to create a fascist New World Order.
He wrote, "She began to see war as an instrument for achieving her liberal, even radical, values." No, Ellis Washington didn't write that. That quote is from Tom Hayden. And who is Tom Hayden? From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Thomas Emmet "Tom" Hayden (born December 11, 1939) is an American social and political activist and politician, known for his involvement in the animal rights, and the anti-war and civil rights movements of the 1960s. He is the former husband of actress Jane Fonda...
Really? If you read on in the Wikipedia page on Tom Hayden, you'll see that he was very involved in anti-war and civil rights activism during the Viet Nam years. So, of course, that explains what he wrote about Samantha Power... except maybe not in the way you were thinking. It is all part of the grand plot to create chaos.

Samantha Power knows about the civil unrest that occurred with the combination of the anti-war and civil rights movements during the Viet Nam War years. There were riots on the streets. Protest marches on college campuses ultimately resulted in violence; I won't forget the deaths of the four students at Kent State, at the hands of soldiers (National Guard). In the late 60's and early 70's, chaos and violence reigned.

But here is the dirty secret about the progressives and socialists that needs to be exposed: They (the Socialists) teamed up, using the good old "good cop, bad cop" ruse for one purpose only. Nothing like an unjust war in order to stir up the population, all the while, using the "Responsibility to Protect" ideology of George Soros and his minions (like Cass Sunstein and Samantha Power).

Okay, this is way too deep without writing a book about it. I'll leave that to Ellis Washington or Jonah Goldberg. And I know that Glenn Beck will continuously attempt to educate as many people as he can reach, even without being on the Fox News Channel, when that happens (soon). But now, do you understand why I started this post out with, "Pay very close attention to this column. Read it carefully."? I know, it is mind boggling. And it is so much like the game of chess. Pawns play a big part of the game.  Pawns are expendable once they can be used down the line in order to set a trap for the opponent. And in real life, the pawns are called "the useful idiots." I'm just sayin'...

War socialism
ELLIS WASHINGTON

By Ellis Washington

April 16, 2011 ~ 1:00 am Eastern

© 2011


Samantha Power,
wife of Regulatory Czar,
Cass Sunstein
[Samantha] Power generalized from her Balkans experience to become an advocate of American and NATO military intervention in humanitarian crises, a position which became known as being a "humanitarian hawk." She began to see war as an instrument for achieving her liberal, even radical, values.

~ Tom Hayden, 1960s socialist radical
What is war socialism? Conventional thinking says that liberals or Democratic socialists like Presidents Wilson, FDR, JFK, LBJ, Clinton and Obama hate war, while conservative warmongers like Theodore Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Bush-41 and Bush-43 can't wait to start another war. This conformist view holds that Democratic socialists only go to war when forced to – Wilson (World War I), FDR, Truman (World War II, Korea), Clinton (Bosnia), Obama (Libya), or to clean up unpopular wars started by their jingoistic GOP predecessors – JFK, LBJ (Vietnam), Obama (Iraq, Afghanistan).

However, this view conflicts with history. Although Wilson, FDR and Obama ran for president promising not to take the U.S. to war, these men and their "brain trusts" understood war as the tried and true method to most quickly and comprehensively achieve most of their progressive socialists goals like the League of Nations, United Nations, the Federal Reserve, Federal income tax, Social Security, the welfare state and Obamacare.

"War socialism under Wilson was an entirely progressive project," wrote Jonah Goldberg in his 2007 book "Liberal Fascism," and long after the war it remained the fast track to mandating progressive policies without assent from Congress or the courts. Goldberg continued, "To this day liberals instinctively and automatically see war as an excuse to expand governmental control of vast swaths of the economy. If we are to believe that classic fascism is first and foremost the elevation of martial values and the militarization of government and society under the banner of nationalism, it is very difficult to understand why the Progressive Era was not also the Fascist Era."

The progressive revolution was mainly a middle-class movement, a counter-revolution just as opposed to the industrial revolution and laissez-faire capitalism from above as it was to Marxist radicalism from below. Progressives, in their arrogant utopianism and idealism, believed they could forge a new synthesis, a new duality, what the fascists called the "Third Way" or what Richard Ely, an intellectual godfather to both Wilson and Roosevelt, termed the "golden mean" between laissez-faire individualism and Marxist socialism.

Progressives' obsession was to enforce a unifying, totalitarian ethical regime that stripped the individual of the freedom to pursue any happiness outside the omnipotent State. The progressive revolution, along with the fascists and Nazis, possessed a fanatical delusion to transcend class differences within the national community and create a new order. George Creel put it bluntly: "No dividing line between the rich and poor, and no class distinctions to breed mean envies."

George Soros, a radical socialist billionaire, is in the forefront of promoting war socialism on a global scale. Among his multi-tentacle organizations includes one called The Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect. This group is the world's leading champion of the military doctrine called Responsibility to Protect created by two of global group's advisory board members, Ramesh Thakur and Gareth Evans. Also on the commission board was the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, which was founded by White House aide Samantha Power, who is the wife of Cass Sunstein, Obama's regulatory czar.

Documentary delivers verdict on socialism and Christianity

I was just getting ready to start posting some articles by my favorite columnists when I happened to see this story on WorldNetDaily. I guess my other posts can wait until later (Saturday night/Sunday morning). This one was important enough that it is a must see.
On a secular basis, it doesn't work, according to The Freeman Online analysis.

"A pyramid scheme is ultimately unsustainable because it is based on faulty principles. Likewise, collectivism is unsustainable in the long run because it is a flawed theory. Socialism does not work because it is not consistent with fundamental principles of human behavior. The failure of socialism in countries around the world can be traced to one critical defect: it is a system that ignores incentives."

And on a Christian basis, it's even further removed from what is right, the documentary contends.

"Jesus didn't ask government to be the charity," (Michele) Bachmann said. "He asked the individual and the church to be charitable."
'Look at the facts. The Bible teaches private ownership under God'

By Bob Unruh

© 2010 WorldNetDaily

The Soviet Union tried socialism and it collapsed, and an analysis at The Freeman Online explains why "it is a flawed theory." But is it Christian to "spread the wealth" and have government provide charity?

A new video called "Socialism: A Clear and Present Danger" will air in a two-part series starting May 16 and finishing May 23 during the regular time slot for "The Coral Ridge Hour" on stations across the country. The program concludes that not only is socialism not Christian, it's antithetical to the Bible.

"Two of the Ten Commandments presuppose the legitimacy of private property," said Jay Richards, author of "Money, Greed, and God: How Capitalism Is the Solution, Not the Problem."

"'Do not steal' implies that people have some property that legitimately belongs to them and that it's wrong to coercively take it from them. 'Do not covet your neighbor's wife or his possessions' implies that there are certain things within the individual domain that we justly have the right to," he said.

Richards is among more than a dozen experts, scholars and theologians in the two-part documentary who demonstrate how socialism is rooted in envy and greed, always requires government force and results in poverty, not prosperity.

Not to mention the more than 100 million deaths it is estimated to have caused.

The "Dangers of Socialism" website lists experts who testify and provide additional information about their concerns. And a new book, "Ten Truths About Socialism," is being released in conjunction with the documentary.

"When you hear a politician promoting a policy that's a socialist policy, the way he sells it is by saying the wealthy have something that you ought to have. We should take from the wealthy to give to you," said Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America.

"And he's tapping into the voter's or listener's sense of greed or covetousness that 'I want what someone else has. And rather than working for it, I want it taken from them and given to me,'" she said.

One contributor to the project was Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., who prefers not to sugar-coat her worries.

"We're now spending money on a scale that no one has ever seen before. In history we've seen this happen just before the fall of Rome, where government raided its treasuries in order to grow a bigger bureaucracy," she said.

"That's now happening in the United States. We have to reverse course immediately or it could mean the sinking of our civilization," said Bachmann.

Today's bad guys truly are fascists ~ By Joseph Farah

Joseph Farah explains the political spectrum further. Progressives don't like being labeled as Fascists, however, the label actually fits them well.

What's the center of the political spectrum?


Limited self-government under the rule of law and accountable to the will of the people – just the unique formula invented by America's founders.


Therefore, I can proudly and accurately say, "I'm a centrist – just like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and James Madison."
By Joseph Farah

Posted: February 26, 2010 ~ 1:00 am Eastern

© 2010



Self-described "progressives" seldom respond well to being labeled fascists.

They usually consider themselves to be the very antithesis.

But, as I wrote in my column last weekend, "The real political spectrum 101," they really are not so different.

In fact, I'd be hard-pressed to find any substantive difference.


Even moderate Democrats today, people like Pat Caddell, are calling today's American "progressives" – people like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid – "statists." Can any reasonable observer deny they are just that? Don't they believe the state has the answer to all problems? Don't their actions suggest they think government can pretty much always do a better job than the private sector? Are they the folks pushing the "public-private partnerships"? Heck, didn't they facilitate the public takeover of General Motors?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but those are the very definitions of "fascism."

The political ideology of fascism has nothing to do with killing Jews or even imperialistic ambitions. It has to do with government controlling corporations, doling out favors to some and punishing others and harnessing the power of success by corporations for the benefit of the state.

Again, it's a tiny step short of communism, which calls for state ownership of the means of production. Fascists like Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler recognized the inefficiency and foolishness of that utopian notion.

Mussolini put it this way: "Fascism should rightly be called corporatism as it is a merger of state and corporate power."

Here's another key quote: "State intervention in economic production arises only when private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the state are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management."

Sound familiar yet?

The political spectrum 101 ~ By Joseph Farah

Commentary from WorldNetDaily
One of the reasons America is moving toward fascism today is because it has lost its constitutional moorings. We're supposed to believe in limited government in the United States. The federal powers are enumerated in the Constitution. But, in recent years, Washington has far exceeded its authority. And very few politicians – Democrats or Republicans – seem to give a darn.


So, maybe you ask, who's in the middle of the political spectrum?


The Founding Fathers were.
By Joseph Farah

Posted: February 20, 2010 ~ 1:00 am Eastern

© 2010

There's much confusion about the meaning of left and right in America today.

The confusion is, ironically, on both the left and the right.

I witnessed this most recently in commentaries and news reports about the riots at the Vancouver Olympics.

Those participating in the riots most frequently describe themselves as "anarchists."

So let's start with proponents of "anarchy." Where do they fall on the left-right political spectrum?

As proponents of no government, they would fall on the extreme right.

A true anarchist would be as far to the right as you can get on the political spectrum. Just to the left of anarchists would be libertarians, who acknowledge there is a role for government but want it strictly limited. Those we call "conservatives" might be just to the left of the libertarians.

Over on the other side of the political spectrum, the left side, would be those who want government to have totalitarian control. These would be hard-core Stalinists and communists.

Just to the right of them, but still way over on the left side of the spectrum, would be fascists, those who are still totalitarians, but don't insist that government own all the means of production. Fascists are content to control the means of production.

Just to the right of these folks are those in our society who call for a "mixed economy" in line with the European model. You could also call it "soft socialism."

In other words, what truly defines the political spectrum is attitude toward the proper role of government.

How does this model differentiate from the general misconceptions we hear so frequently?

First of all, fascism is often portrayed as a "right-wing" ideology, when, in fact, it is far left. Fascism and communism are ideological kissing cousins. That's how close they are on the political spectrum and in their way of governance.

In fact, I would say that fascists are often mistakenly called communists. Take a look at China today and it is not by any stretch of the imagination communist. It is fascist. Even though most people who think of themselves as "left" would tell you they detest fascism, in practice, they often have not.

Mussolini was beloved by the left and practically defined fascism. Hitler was embraced by the Communist Soviet Union, until he betrayed Stalin's non-aggression pact. Hollywood Communists led the "peace movement" in the U.S. and fought involvement in the European war until Hitler betrayed Stalin. Then, overnight, they became war mongers.

Secondly, anarchists are often descried as left-wingers, when in fact they are on the extreme right of the political spectrum. Again, the political spectrum, if it is to make any sense at all, should be based on attitude toward government.

Because of these misconceptions, many Americans are missing the real political threat facing our country. It's not from communism, but it is from another form of socialism – fascism.

Let's take the 'crony' out of 'crony capitalism' ~ By John Stossel

Commentary from WorldNetDaily
John Stossel By John Stossel Posted: January 13, 2010 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2010 When Judge Richard Posner, the prolific conservative intellectual, released his book "A Failure of Capitalism: The Crisis of '08 and the Descent Into Depression" last year, you might have thought the final verdict was in: Capitalism caused the economic downturn and high unemployment. That this verdict was pronounced by someone like Posner, who is associated with the University of Chicago and the free-market law and economics movement, gave moral support to all the politicians who were intent on exploiting the recession (as they exploit all crises) to increase government control of the economy. But what exactly is this "capitalism" that is blamed? The word "capitalism" is used in two contradictory ways. Sometimes it's used to mean the free market, or laissez faire. Other times it's used to mean today's government-guided economy. Logically, "capitalism" can't be both things. Either markets are free or government controls them. We can't have it both ways. The truth is that we don't have a free market – government regulation and management are pervasive – so it's misleading to say that "capitalism" caused today's problems. The free market is innocent. But it's fair to say that crony capitalism created the economic mess. READ FULL STORY >

Climate myth: 4 corners of deceit ~ By Ellis Washington

Commentary from WorldNetDaily
By Ellis Washington Posted: November 28, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily
The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't ... . Our observing system is inadequate. ~ Scientist at University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit
On Thursday. Nov. 19 a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU) and released 160 megabytes of confidential files onto the Internet – including 1,079 emails and 72 documents. Over the past 10 days, those materials have now been posted all over the Internet and reveal what most rational people have thought all along – that anthropogenic (man caused) global warming is perhaps the biggest scientific hoax in the past 150 years, or since publication of Charles Darwin's treatise on evolution, "The Origin of Species" (1859). Last Tuesday, radio host Rush Limbaugh, in his commentary on the recent climate change scandal, put this outrage in a bigger context he referred to as the "four corners of deceit" which consist of: government, academia, science and media. This theory is placed in the paradigm of two worldviews that have warred against each other since antiquity – Veritas vs. Infidus – a worldview based on Truth vs. a worldview based on the Big Lie. Liberalism with its multiplicity of manifestations – paganism, humanism, Enlightenment, Darwinism, progressivism, Marxism, socialism, fascism, communism, naturalism, Nazism, Statism, Obamaism – is all part of the same existential Big Lie.

Who most resembles 'Nazis'? ~ By Joseph Farah

Joseph FarahBy Joseph Farah Posted: August 17, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 This is going to be, shall we say, "a controversial column." Outfits like the George Soros-subsidized Media Matters will have a field day with it – excerpting passages out of context, deliberately distorting the words I am carefully choosing and, in typical knee-jerk fashion, mocking its premise. Cable TV propagandists posing as "newsmen" will hurl invectives and dub me as a villain for expressing my honest and candid opinions – all of which are based on reality and truth. Lately, both sides of the political spectrum have suggested their political opponents resemble Nazis or fascists. Are both sides equally wrong? Let's talk about "national socialism" – because that, indeed, is exactly what Barack Obama and his friends in the Congress are actively promoting and enacting in America today. The very word "Nazi" is indeed an acronym for national socialism – the political and economic system Hitler infamously imposed on Germany in the 1930s. It was then and remains today, despite the denials historical revisionists, a "left-wing" idea. All socialism is, by definition, a left-wing notion. If the left-right political spectrum has any meaning, it is that those on the left tend to favor government intervention while those on the right favor non-government solutions to problems. That is the traditional and accepted definition – much as those on the left would like to blur that understanding. National socialists, whether they seek to kill Jews or old people or the disabled or unborn babies, will always be national socialists – no matter what kind of lipstick they put on the pig. Furthermore, people like our Founding Fathers, who sought to diffuse power because they understood its unchecked and unlimited centralization represented a grave threat to personal liberty represent the polar opposite of national socialists.

50 Year Old Cartoon Eerily Predicts the Future

In a great blog entry by Bill Dupray, the DC Political Examiner, he makes an excellent statement about what people knew about 50 years ago, as compared to now. Let's first check out the excellent video that he provides on his blog that was uploaded to youtube.com by LCLREPORT:

Bill then writes the following:
The sad thing is that 50 years ago Communism, Fascism, and Socialism were well known as destructive killers of freedom and, for that matter, of people. Most Americans under the age of 35 (read Obama voters) never grew up with the nuclear threat hanging over their heads every day. The problem is that very few members of congress (and no Senators) are under 35, which means they have consciously disregarded the lessons of history and chosen a combination of Communism (silence and/or jail your political opponents and seize private corporations) and Socialism (nanny-state health care, welfare, and redistribution of wealth from producers to non-producers). Every single one of Obama and the Democrats' policies takes freedom from individuals for the "good of the state," exactly the same argument made by despots since time immemorial. [Continue reading Bill's column]
Bill is so right when he says at the end of this piece, "Why don't we just start over with the youngsters and start showing cartoons like this in grade school classrooms." digg story ~ Submitted by PatriotRoom
