What next America?
Pravda debunks America for Becoming Marxist
By JD Sander
I would have thought the day would never come when Pravda, the official newspaper of Soviet Russia would have anything but scorn and political posturing upholding Communism and decrying US democracy. My days in the military during the 70’s before the Berlin wall fell contained briefing after briefing to counter the political agenda propaganda of Pravda. And of course, Pravda pounded out the Soviet propaganda with just as much or more intensity. Pravda was an informational barrier just as strong but wider and deeper than any wall built of stone. No word other than the “official” sanctioned word of Marxism could escape or be found in the USSR. No story, no news was published other than that which proclaimed the right and might of Marxism. We as Christians know the power of the word, spoken and published, but it is a known maxim that once published, a word takes on a cloak of truth to those that wish to believe even if founded on lies and falsehood. The act of putting pen to paper emboldens the faith that it must be founded on facts and empowers the faithful to action.
And now from a corner of journalism, known for only conveying Marxist commentary, comes a fresh word that reverses the perspectives of the Cold War. Now Russia seeks to take on the mantel of liberating democracy and portrays the US becoming wrapped in burgeoning socialism. Who would have believed….??
What follows begins a summary of America's present agenda and how it has come to be perceived abroad. It is not a picture we would paint of ourselves, yet we would be ill advised to not consider its implications to where we as a nation are trending. Not only does the following excerpt of the Pravda Editorial paint a sobering picture of oiur governmental actions, but the commentary also portrays our religions as having lost the meaning of our faith. If one studies our American Heritage and the faith of our Founding Fathers, it is evident that this perspective is founded on facts that proclaim an alarming story. Consider what follows in the light of our beginnings and see how far we have fallen. Visit http://www.wallbuilders.com/ for more information on our real American Heritage.
"It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American dissent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people….
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather than the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in D.C. that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonald’s burger or a Burger King burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our “democracy.” Pride blinds the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations,” which were for the most part little more than Sunday circuses, and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more than happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the “winning” side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the “winning” side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past months has been truly impressive. His spending and printing money has been record-setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more than another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic (Germany in the 1930s) and at worst Zimbabwe.
These past two weeks have been the most breathtaking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses, and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more than ordinary street thugs in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?
These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties, and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more than a whimper to their masters.
Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motors) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American President now has the power, the self-given power, to fire CEOs, and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.
So it should be no surprise that the American President has followed this up with a “bold” move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies (guarantees). I am sure that if given the chance they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less than two months ago, warned Obama and U.K.’s Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.
Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper. . .but a “freeman” whimper.
So, should it be any surprise to discover that the democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury Department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance, and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator (actually “Congressman”) Barney Franks . . . and his Marxist enlightenment has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.
The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker." - Stanislav Mishin
Pray for our nation and for our leaders to avoid the pitfalls implied here. We need to be a world that tears down walls, not erects them. President Obama is trying to “reset” our relations with countries and religions that have issues with the US, and is causing our allies to question on which side of the wall we now stand and even how far to the left of our moral center we have drifted. Blessed be the peacemakers, but the result must be a just, prevailing peace according to the plan of God above the will of man, else the world will never find a lasting peace. Peace must be defined above the providence of man else only a temporal peace can be the result.
Becoming a socialist or government controlled economy such as what resulted with communism would be folly. No country in history has been able to sustain a economy ruled by government that has not cost the country dearly, both financially and in stature as a major economic power. It bankrupts basic humanity and charity while choking both initiative and incentive. EU President Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek blasted the Obama Administration as a “road to hell”, for its plans to spend its way out of the recession that will result instead in undermining the liquidity of the global financial market. Prime Minister Topolanek knew that, “We need to read the history books and the lessons of history and the biggest success of the EU is the refusal to go this way.”
If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, then our road through hell that follows will be paved with grave desperation.
It has been widely considered in the US that constitutional change is the only way to solve many of our social crisis issues. The foundation of our family, our nation, and our place in the global community are being challenged in ways our Founding Fathers never considered possible. Our country was founded on biblical principles. What makes us think that we can govern without them? Certainly, our Founding Fathers did not. What we must ask of ourselves is where we will stand as Christians in the last days ahead and if we can learn from history. What we must do is find in ourselves the moral center and faith in God given providence that made America strong.
