Paradise Lost and Two Hurricanes, Two Weeks Apart

We flew to Sarasota a week after hurricane Helene flooded Siesta Key to check on our family’s vacation home. We landed on a sunny day and, as we exited the airport, as always, the stifling humidity hit us like a tropical jungle. The beauty around us was undisturbed and we were hoping against all odds that our home somehow survived the 3-4 feet of water that flooded from the nearby canal. 

The windows were thrown open by friends and neighbors but the smell and the mold growing on the walls to the flood line caused our hearts to sink. Everything was soaked and damaged except things set high above that had not molded yet, including the TV sets. The electrical wiring was shot. We were told that it would cost upwards of $100,000 to rebuild this very modest beach house to its original state. There was no flood insurance; it is expensive in Florida and most people cannot afford it. They took their chances as this part of the island has not flooded in 80 years.

The island’s streets were lined on both sides by mountains of debris, furniture, mattresses, lamps, refrigerators, washers, dryers, splintered wood, doors, lamps, anything a person had in their household that was not completely waterlogged and smelly.

Stores in the village were boarded up and empty, others, built much higher, had survived and re-opened, waiting for the tourists that were not coming. We were just two of the few who dared to fly here.

The beach was flat as a pancake, as far as the eye could see and quite smelly from the sewer that rose up and mixed in with the ocean water. The lifeguard towers were placed back in their original locations, standing guard, lonely and shuttered.

We managed to get two hours of beach time with some of the workers taking a reprieve from the unpleasant task of ripping apart someone’s flooded home. The ocean water was a sickly greenish yellow, no doubt not fit to swim. Few dared to enter it.

We drove to St. Armand Key - the devastation there was just as bad. The Circle that used to house fashionable businesses and restaurants looked like a war zone. Longboat Key was flooded as well.

The Marina in Sarasota was flooded, and debris was piled high. Very few of the piles of debris had been removed anywhere – the county, the city government, and the local help were organized but overwhelmed by the massive amount, tons and tons of discarded stuff that had to be hauled away.

We spent three nights in a hotel at the foot of one of the bridges entering Siesta Key. By Monday morning, the order came to evacuate the area, so we decided to drive to Miami as advised by the hotel clerk.

When hurricane Milton finally made landfall, it was in the exact area where our Spark hotel was. Siesta Key was again flooded. The mountains of debris on each street were disturbed and items destroyed by hurricane Helene floated away; new ripped roofs, shanties, and other dangerous materials were added to the already gutted flotsam and jetsam suffocating streets and canals. If the first hurricane did not do a good enough job to destroy, Milton made sure that few things remained untouched. The beach was again washed flat and clean but infused with the perfume of overflowing sewers.

Elderly people who had saved their entire lives to retire in a modest old dwelling were suddenly homeless, having to fend for themselves, sometimes without families. Some had to make heartbreaking decisions to sell the property because they could not afford to rebuild with the new codes of safety. Real estate brokers from Miami were suddenly hit with a bonanza of new and cheap properties on the market which they had salivated for years to acquire.

We took the scenic tour to Miami, through modest neighborhoods and small towns, not the interstate where we knew, we would be overwhelmed by traffic of other absconders from the incoming hurricane Milton which promised to be, according to the media, a category 5 unlike any other hurricane.

We stopped on U.S. Hwy. 27 in Palmdale, Florida at Gatorama, which was closed for a few days. They had been in business since 1957. As we started to leave, a truck pulled up with a jovial driver named Allen. He turned out to be the owner and we had a fun and interesting thirty-minute conversation with him.

Allen closed the attraction for a few days because Hurricane Helene flooded everything and the resident crocs in the creek had escaped, and he was trying to wrangle them safely back in and secure his gators’ enclosures before he could reopen.

I watched his right hand as he was gesturing and noticed his missing middle finger and deep scars on the remaining ones. I asked him if a croc took his finger off and he answered yes. As he was spending time in the hospital healing from surgery, his son produced the motto of the attraction, “Fast hands, or no hands.” My favorite motto would have been, "too slow, lose a toe." Gators and crocodiles are fast runners for their shape and size and can easily outrun a human. They can also jump up seven feet out of the water. Scary scenarios! Thanks to prior hurricanes that released crocodiles and pythons from a zoo into the wild, we now have a sizable population of crocs and pythons in the Everglades.

We made it to Miami and took refuge in a hotel in Miami Beach filled with other people like us and the lucky ones who were going on cruises. By Tuesday, all the cruise ships docked in the Miami harbor disappeared at sea, away from the oncoming hurricane.

The Atlantic Ocean was serene and placid, the color of emerald green, a balmy temperature perfect for swimming and bathing. By Tuesday, the ocean became furious with large waves. But we managed to get two days of beach time before we left.

We did enter the water which dropped precipitously with every other step, two to three feet at a time while our legs were sinking to our ankles in the shifting sand. Within a few mere feet from the edge of the water, we were in 10 feet of water, unable to touch the bottom. To say that I was uneasy about it, it is an understatement – the water was opaque, and I could not see my fingers below three inches from the water’s surface. My mind was conjuring up sharks, jelly fish, and sting rays circling to bite. Fighting to stay afloat, swim, or tread water, the current was trying to pull us out to sea. I was glad that the lifeguard was watching us intently. The waves were more suited for surfing than ocean frolicking.

We enjoyed the Cuban cuisine, and, thanks to our friend Craig, we took an airboat ride on the Everglades, watched gators in their habitat, and even saw the captain of the boat feed one large gator who kept following the boat. A thirty-minute show of gators raised in the park completed our tour. They did not seem to mind their captivity as they were well fed and slept peacefully.

We were going to visit next the Big Cypress National Reserve which was established in 1974 to protect the fresh water’s natural flow from the Big Cypress Swamp into the Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands, but access was flooded by the two back-to-back hurricanes and the accompanying huge rainfall.

Next, we decided to visit Coral Castle, an unusual oolite limestone park located between Homestead and Leisure City, Florida. It was built by a Latvian American, Edward Leedskalnin (1887-1951). He had moved to America from Latvia at the age of 26 after having been rejected by his sixteen-year-old fiancé, Agnes Skuvst, one day before their wedding. The “castle” is built from large stones in difference shapes, each weighing several tons, stones with a specific significance to Ed - slab walls, tables, chairs, a crescent moon, a water fountain, a grill, and a sundial.

The claim is that the structures were built over 28 years by Ed alone, using reverse magnetism and move and carve the stones; another theory was that he used hydrogen balloons and Ed’s advanced tool called a ‘perpetual motion holder.’

It is alleged that Ed had tuberculosis when he arrived in the U.S. but was healed by magnets. How he passed the Ellis Island quarantine with active tuberculosis, is a mystery to me.

The Coral Castle remained in Florida City until 1936, but Ed decided to move it to 28655 South Dixie Highway, an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County, where he would have more privacy on South Dixie Highway. He left when “discussion about developing land in the original area of the castle started.” It took him three years to move everything 10 miles north of Florida City to its current location outside Homestead, Florida.

The next drive was on the Star Island where a few rich Cuban Americans lived in their gated mansions, away from the masses. A guard house protected the entrance into the Star Island but allowed drivers to make the circle if they did not stop.

Ft. Lauderdale Beach and A1A Highway

Craig B. drove us another day to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida and to Ft. Lauderdale to admire the famous spring break beach which was now deserted. The blue beach chairs were stacked along the narrow strip. I wondered how much room there is during spring break when all the chairs and towels are deployed on the narrow sand patch between the ocean and the A1A highway. A few die-hard beach goers were fleeing from the imminent rain blowing from the ocean.

We took refuge from the rain at the infamous Elbow Room bar where we were entertained with live music to the delight of the sing-along regulars who were drinking margaritas and beer.

We dined with Craig and Alba on Cuban food at Havana 1957 on Lincoln Road and the next day at Versailles in Little Havana and drove through the neighborhood of old homes, all windows covered in metal bars, allegedly to protect the windows from hurricane projectiles, a cheaper alternative than boarding the windows each time, I was told.

The day before our flight back home, we were crossing the pedestrian crosswalk, we had the right of way, and an SUV turned and clipped my husband’s left side, arm, and leg. Luckily, it did not run over his foot but it caused a lot of bruising and pain. The car sped away, and although there were many witnesses, none of them stayed until the police came, they all disappeared.

I asked one of the two police officers to look at CCTV footage to identify the vehicle and he said, since there were not two cars involved with a crash, and my husband was not dead, there was nothing they could do. In addition to taking them half hour to get there, I was appalled at how little they cared about my husband’s injuries.

We will never return to Miami or Miami Beach that’s for sure. One of my irritating take-aways, and there were many, was that few locals spoke English, why would they, they do not need to because they have little meaningful or no contact with English-speaking Americans. “No English” were the two words I heard many times when we visited places. Ethnicity, diverse culture, good Cuban food and sandwiches set aside, it made us feel like we were in a foreign country.

 

Sleeper Waves

The waves that we witness on our beaches likely have formed hundreds or even thousands of miles away when a strong storm with strong winds transmitted its energy to the water, disrupting the sea surface. The higher the velocity of the wind and the greater the distance of the ocean surface that the wind covers, the further the waves can travel and the larger they can become.

Once they arrive at our beach, they break. While you are standing at the water's edge taking a picture or building a sandcastle, the wave can grab you and drag you out to sea, especially if the water's edge drops precipitously and the bottom and shore sand causes you to sink ankle deep while trying to stand up. Smaller waves are always followed by larger waves which will wash up further onto the beach, grabbing your chair, shoes, towels, umbrella, etc.

The water can be just two feet deep, but it can carry the young, the old, and the not-so-good swimmers out to sea. Drowning can become a possibility, especially on the Atlantic shore. Most people who do swim, can only swim about a pool's length and not in rough ocean water.

The sleeper wave surprised Mimi and me this summer on the Outer Banks in Kitty Hawk when we were both swept and knocked to the ground. Mimi lost her shoe, I gave chase to grab it, more waves followed, lost my footing, and we both got quite wet in the process by the subsequent waves. But I saved her shoe! We could have drowned but we were worried about losing plastic Oofos.

Sunset Over an Empire

As the sun is setting, it is casting long shadows of objects on the white sandy beach. I never get tired of watching its beauty reflected on the ocean whipped endlessly by the currents. If the weather cooperates, we have a good chance of experiencing again the sunset’s beauty across the sky.

The churning ocean, the shimmering lakes and rivers, the land, the deep gorges, the forests, and the mountains, will be bathed in the last hues of intense orange, pink, and purple before darkness falls.

But the sunset of our ‘empire’ we call a constitutional republic is hard to watch. Its demise is painful, sad, and depressing because it is self-destructive and purposeful, aided by the ignorance and laziness of we the people.

Many from the left seem eager and willing to replace capitalism with communism. The answer to the obvious question of why is simple. Because they have no historical background or actual knowledge that would help them understand the evils of communism. Teachers, Hollywood, and the press have lied to them about communism, directly, or by omission.

One public school teacher in Arlington, Virginia, told her class that “communism is people continuously giving gifts to each other.” Tell that to the millions living under communism who received the gift of a bullet for not bending their knee quick enough to the theft by the communist rulers.

One American commented that her “grandfather received the gift of ‘beatings’ every night for months until he was forced to give up his farm to the lazy people in the village.”

E. Merkel wrote, “Americans frequently quote parts of the New Testament and say that it supports Socialism/Communism. Which of course betrays the fact that they have no understanding of Christianity or Christian principles. With the original first century Christians, giving was completely voluntary, out of the goodness of their hearts and knowledge of the ‘gift’ they had been given. Socialism/Communism completely removes the ‘voluntary’ aspect.”

Few Americans understand what communism is. Although they are told by those who survived the communist regime and fled it, Americans turn a blind eye and deaf ear. The most basic questions they should ask themselves is, if communism is so great, why were millions of communist subjects killed by the Communist Party, and why so many escaped and fled to this country if communism was so great?

“Communism indoctrinates children to make up false accusations against their parents and neighbors; the culprits are disappeared but the snitches are assured the favors of the communist police state. Communism destroys beautiful art, buildings, and statuary they label bourgeois. They destroy beauty because not everyone and everything else is beautiful. They have misery, starvation, and murder in gulags. After the Bolsheviks’ initial promises never panned out, people realized that they sold their souls to the communist devils for lies.”

Under the communist regime, people were isolated, worn out, hungry, and deprived of their ability to resist. Remember the isolation from loved ones, from church, from social gatherings, social distancing, solitary confinement, and forced isolations during Covid-19? We were forced to comply or else be arrested, just like they forced us to comply with the communist party rule.

Because people were paid so extraordinarily little, they could not afford to travel far and certainly not abroad. They thus restricted our movement to a small radius of the place where we were born and lived. Village people were not allowed to move to the city without the explicit approval of the Communist Party.

Information was censored, meetings and gatherings were forbidden, media was dominated by the state rule 24/7. No other views were allowed. Again, this is remarkably like the 2020 Covid-19 lockdowns and how the police state managed the population and curtailed its freedoms. I could go to the swimming pool at the gym, but I had to wear a mask.

We were worn out by tension and fear under communism and by the inability to find enough food or any food at all, medicines, medical care, and by having to stand in interminable lines for basic food items like bread, milk, sugar, flour, and cooking oil.

Remember the contradictory “advice” and constant fear drilled into Americans from the White House platform of Dr. Fauci about Covid-19? You had to stay home, not permitted to socialize, or exercise even outdoors in large parks.

They closed National Parks, state parks, and even regional parks. They closed clean and safe building facilities and brought out port-o-potties in a huge state park nearby. When parks were allowed to reopen eventually, people were wearing masks alone in the woods; that is what abject fear had reduced them to – automatons who did things that made no logical sense.

The Communist Party cultivated an environment of fear and despair, not unlike the Covid-19 lockdowns and the accompanying irrational fears created by carefully crafted public announcements and artificial decrees that violated people’s rights and freedoms. The futility to resist eventually dominated everybody’s behavior. They knew who was in charge, the police state, and they had guns and lots of jails.

Even though demands were illogical and contradictory, people were habituated to following orders or else they were refused basic needs. Why the arbitrary six feet between people and all the other arbitrary and ridiculous dictates? If people disobeyed, they were refused entry into grocery stores, restaurants, public places like parks, pharmacies, etc. Similar scenarios happened under communist rule. People had to obey, or they had their freedoms taken away for good and their families never saw them again.

Why did the communists allow snitches and their own echelons of apparatchiks to shop for better and more food than the rest? To show everyone who was in charge and to create and maintain an army of faithful foot soldiers.

Why were entire economies shut down then only a few businesses were allowed to reopen at a reduced capacity? The virus recognized those to be safe and stayed away?

Surveillance was developed around the world, money created from nothing to pay people to stay home and “be happy,” medical care and hospitals became torture places instead of deliverers of care; to this day, people do not trust them and doctors because they refused care when people needed it.

Why shame people and ostracize them when they were non-compliant? It is a tactic that the communists used a lot. Fear and a sense of helplessness and dependence heightened to unbelievable levels. Depression, despair, divorces, and suicides increased.

Trivial demands split society and families, i.e., family members had to stand apart and wear masks to dinner in their own homes, random limits on the number of people allowed to be in a group, even in their own homes, the use of sanitizers endlessly during the day and on all objects people touched.

The habit of compliance drilled into people’s minds is evident today when some people are still wearing masks, still injecting themselves with Covid-19 vaccine boosters, and still sanitizing their hands with chemicals instead of washing them.

People have become so irrational and woke that, even when presented with factual and logical evidence to the contrary of what they believe, they reject those facts and stick with their irrational beliefs.

Yuri Bezmenov said in a 1984 interview about the four stages of ideological subversion, that when human beings reject reality in front of their eyes, the brainwashing is complete. FULL INTERVIEW with Yuri Bezmenov: The Four Stages of Ideological Subversion (1984) (youtube.com)

When that happens to many Americans, the sun will set on the most successful constitutional republic in the history of the world, and the ‘empire’ will rest at the bottom of the dustbin of history and darkness will fall enduringly.

 

 

 

 

Gabriel the Snake Wrangler

The river and the owl are talking to the night. The moon is casting dancing shadows in the forest when the wind is rustling through the verdant canopy and the pond nearby. I am mesmerized by the phantasmagorical visions created by the wind.

The sounds, the darkness, the moonlight, the visible stars, the dancing shadows of light streaming are the only evidence of life. But there is a web of life out there in the woods and in the pond.

Creatures large and small, birds, butterflies, a lone blue hummingbird come out of the woods during the day, grazing, or munching on acorns, weaving a beautiful carpet of life on which we all tread from time to time, aware of ticks and throngs of mosquitoes.

Many animals visit my yard, and I watch them in silence. One hummingbird flew by one September day; I have not seen any all summer long. The occasional human walks this far around the pond or to the edge of the woods. The most frequent visitor is Gabriel. His head of blond curls shines in the sunlight against the always green weeds and the shimmering pond.

This amazing and fearless nine-year-old little boy is a snake wrangler. Although color-blind, his passion is to catch and release snakes around the pond. He finds them in the corner of the pond where they built a nest under a pile of rocks. There are some venomous varieties, but Gabriel somehow can tell them apart by the pattern on their heads and bodies. He knows where to find them because snakes seldom venture out further than the 100-ft radius from their den.

Gabriel is amazing! He loves nature and all its critters. They do not raise children like this little boy anymore. Kids were raised into strong little humans who did chores around the house, cut wood, spent time in the wilderness and learned survival skills.

Playgrounds are silent and motionless now. Children stay indoors, seldom go outside to play, scrape their knees, run, to learn to take falls in stride, play in the park in the sandbox, on the merry-go-round, climb the jungle gym, and ride their bikes. If they do play outside at all on their playdates with other highly protected children, they wear helmets.

The Marxist Foxes in the Henhouse

The Marxist Foxes have been in our henhouse for a long time. Most people were not aware or listened to Hollywood vilifying Joe McCarthy by calling everyone admitting the existence of communism among us as McCarthyism – a dirty word in the world of leftist political correctness (PC) promoted heavily by the media, educators, and academics alike. In this atmosphere of public indoctrination, the new world order (NOW) thrived.

Woodrow Wilson’s famous Fourteen Points, the last of which called for the creation of the League of Nations (1920), was written by Colonel Edward Mandell House. This League of Nations ceased to exist on April 20, 1946, when it handed all its assets to the United Nations. “

Less than a month after Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt issued a ‘Declaration of United Nations.’”  The U.N. introduced in 1961 a Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World which planned to transfer all nations’ military power to the U.N. which would have only police power. The idea of a global military power under the U.N.’s control failed, and the global governance/new world order was redesigned.

The new design was the U.N. Agenda 21/Agenda 2030, using climate change control as a weapon for everything. The lynchpin became Sustainable Development (SD), the transfer of wealth from rich nations to poor nations, and the destruction of western capitalism. The accidental travelers of the climate change industry were more than happy to undersign and follow this process.

Maurice Strong and Mikhail Gorbachev “promoted the creation and distribution of the Earth Charter with the idea to replace the Ten Commandments with their idea of global green religion.” www.earthcharterinaction.org/content/pages/Read-the-Charter.html

Dr. Robert Muller developed the World Core Curriculum based on James Lovelock’s Gaia Hypothesis, the idea that “earth itself is a living organism, the giver of life, that every species is equal in value; and that both animate, and inanimate objects have rights.” Textbooks and television shows are promoting this idea to students across the U.S.

As bizarre as this sounds, Muller claimed that “every species is a cell in the global organism and that the evolution of the United Nations represents the development of the earth’s brain.”

Less than a month after the creation of the United Nations, UNESCO was formed in 1945, with its first director at the helm, Julian Huxley. Julian, an evolutionary biologist, was Aldous Huxley’s brother, the author of Brave New World.

The very first project of UNESCO was to teach the world’s educators how to indoctrinate their students to be citizens of the world. Students were taught that “nationalism was bad and had to be replaced with the idea of world citizenship.”

The United Nations has devolved from being the peacekeeper of the world into something else, with a myriad of NGOs. For a long time, U.S. presidents have appeased and allowed communist tyrants and other dictatorships in the United Nations as allies and pacified them with financial help.

Thus, the scourge of communism was never really defeated in 1990 as stated by the media, historians, and other colluding organizations. The taxpayers unwittingly assisted its move across the Atlantic to the United States where it took solid roots and started growing like a wildfire.

H. W. Bush’s New World Order is now in the last stages of implementation thanks to the United Nations and its NGOs funded by U.S. taxpayers. The U.N. is also aided by the Fifth Column in America which is sympathetic to and collaborating with our enemies.

Ever since Cecil Rhodes established The Secret Society in 1891, a group of highly influential individuals who shared his vision, and Edward M. House formed The Inquiry in the U.S., the fate of the world was sealed.

Upon Cecil Rhodes’ death, Alfred Milner took over and the group was renamed the Chatham House Gang because they bought the Chatham House where they met.

Edward M. House’s group, The Inquiry, became known as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Chatham House Gang became the Royal Institute for International Affairs.

Woodrow Wilson made significant efforts to establish a global association of nations. He “filled his administration with members of the Council on Foreign Relations and they developed his legislative agenda.”

According to Curtis B. Dall, Roosevelt’s son-in-law, “… most of his [Roosevelt’s] thoughts, his political ammunition … was carefully manufactured for him in advance by the CFR-One World money group.” (The Rise of Global Governance DVD, Part 2 at 9:24)

The CFR was so influential that they wrote George W. Bush’s “Security and Prosperity Partnership” which proposed to erase the borders with Canada and Mexico, creating the North American Union, not unlike the creation of the European Union.

The New World Order/Global Governance includes all policies/schemes created by non-elected bureaucrats from international institutions that “… limit the social, educational, financial, and business behavior of individuals, organizations, and companies.” These non-elected bureaucrats form a group who believes that a “benevolent government populated by the enlightened intelligentsia should manage society.”

The other players in this global governance/new world order are the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Bilderbergers, and the Trilateral Commission.

CFR has a membership of 5,000 with a select group at its core. According to Alex Newman, CFR has a “’corporate membership’ that includes the world’s largest bailed-out mega-banks, Big Oil, Big Pharma, crony capitalists, the military industrial complex, publishing houses, and much of the establishment media.”

U.S. Admiral Chester Arthur, a CFR member for 20 years, wrote in his book, Kissinger on the Couch, that “within the CFR there exists a ‘much smaller group but more powerful … made up of Wall Street international bankers and their agents.’”  This faction is “headed by the Rockefeller brothers.”

The Trilateral Commission is more elite and international, founded in 1973 by the late globalist and self-described conspirator for a one world order David Rockefeller. He was a CFR member since 1941and chair of the board from 1970 to 1985, and honorary chair until his death in 2017 at the age of 101. (Alex Newman, “Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes, 2020)

Bilderberg was founded in 1954 by “former Nazi SS member Prince Bernhard” and met initially at Hotel de Bilderberg in the Netherlands, hence the name. It is a “forum for informal discussions, designed to foster dialogue.” Analysts refer to the Bilderbergers as the secret global government.

According to Alex Newman, each meeting has “between 120 and 150 attendees, most of whom come from Europe and North America, representing every tentacle of establishment power.” The world’s most influential people and useful journalists are invited to attend – “Big Government, Big Green, Big Media, Big Oil, Big Espionage, Big Banks, Big War, Big Internet, Big Foundations, Big Communism, Big Data, and most of the other important ‘Bigs.’” (Alex Newman)

The World Economic Forum (WEF), founded in 1971 by a German engineer, Klaus Schwab, is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Geneva, Switzerland. It is funded by its 1,000 member companies, each with more than $5 billion in capital, with the goal of “improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas.”

WEF claims that a globalist world is best managed by multinationals, government, and civil society organizations via initiatives like the Great Reset and Global Redesign. Citizens need not participate as the rich and powerful know best what is good for them.

To achieve the New World Order fully, all of America’s historic principles must be destroyed – borders, sovereignty, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, the right to bear arms, all divergent opinions, and historical facts.

Covid 19 lockdowns served as a beta test for the New World Order – the controllers wanted to know how far they could push the population in the face of abject fear.

WEF admitted that “Covid 19 was a test of social responsibility – a huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health adopted by billions of citizens across the world.” They were testing us to see how we would comply with a “new normal.” And the global population responded quite obediently when faced with the world’s largest psychological experiment. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/09/my-carbon-an-approach-for-inclusive-and-sustainable-cities/

Billionaires and corrupt politicians are working non-stop with other globalists to achieve the New World Order by 2030 with the help of groups of elected and unelected individuals, most of whom work in the shadows.

 

 

Art Presenting Communism Truthfully

I came across one episode of a popular series, Northern Exposure, that ran in the 1990-1995. Highly popular then, it received many accolades, and the main actors were nominated for and received several awards for their excellent performance.

The streaming episode in question, number 25, entitled Zarya, aired during season five. For me, it was shocking because the entire show advocated for capitalism and against communism. There was even a brief plug for the crowd pushing global warming caused by CO2.

I was accustomed to Hollywood supporting all socialist and communist causes, praising the tyranny that had killed one hundred million innocent people around the world, including my own dad.

I knew that public school students and college students only received a cursory introduction to the evils, misery, famine, torture, and death that all communist societies inflicted on their citizens with the Communist Party at the helm.

The communist ideology, adopted by socialist republics in lock step with the Soviet Union, originally stemmed from Karl Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. All these countries were socialist republics run by the Communist Party under the guidance and advice of the Soviet Politburo apparatchiks.

The episode presented an imaginary and secret visit by a Soviet delegation led by Lenin to Alaska post the tumultuous times when the Soviets deposed the Romanovs in Russia.

As truth has become a victim of the lies spewed by politicians, the mass media, academia, and the government, it is important to describe what some of the characters said during this highly interesting episode of Northern Exposure.

One of the Russian characters, Mikhail Borisovich, a medical doctor who accompanies the group, refuses to go back to Russia with Lenin, not because he had lost faith in the Bolshevik Revolution, but because, as a scientist, he was no longer sure that “life can be reduced to class struggle, to dialectical materialism, or any set of formulas. Life is spontaneous and it is unpredictable,” he said to the fictional Lenin.

The show ended with the fictional narrative that, “after his return from Alaska, Lenin instituted the New Economic Policy which allowed for limited private enterprise. The policy revived the Soviet economy but was scorned by hardline party members. After Lenin’s death, Stalin abolished Lenin’s reforms and returned the Soviet Union to ‘Pure Socialism.’”

The loose connection to the show’s location, the fictional Cicely, Alaska, was brought about by the fact that Tsar Alexander II had ceded Alaska, his country’s last remaining foothold in North America, to the United States for $7.2 million.

The real Lenin did propose a New Economic Policy (NEP) in 1921 where a mixed economy with a free market and capitalism, both subject to state control while operating on a “profit basis.” The economy was mixed when the Soviets revoked partially the complete nationalization of industry and allowed a mixed economy to exist for a short while.

The show’s storyline reveals what Lenin’s communist-controlled society wrought: confiscation of private property, total control by the state, politically and economically, hunger, starvation, and the lack of basic goods and freedoms.

A very hungry Comrade Borisovich is plied with the abundance of decent food in capitalism, and he eats the offerings on the capitalist table like the starved and hungry socialist that he was – a doctor working for Soviet Polyclinic number 6. His female interlocutor reminds him that on Nevsky Prospekt, he could not buy a new pair of socks nor needle and thread to darn the ones he has.

The fictional Lenin visits the local shop to buy bunion shields. He explains to the elderly shop owner that, “unfortunately, for all the triumphs of our Revolution, the quality of shoes has declined.” The well-informed shop owner tells Lenin that she has read about his Soviet Union. “If you remove the profit incentive, you get shoddy merchandise.”

Lenin counters that “the middlemen, brokers, like the owner of this shop, are economic parasites.” She tells him proudly that she is the owner of the shop. “You mean your husband,” he replies. “I mean me. Why would you presume otherwise?” Lenin replies, “given the subservient position of women in capitalist society.”

“You utopian social engineers are all alike,” she replied to Lenin. “If Karl Marx had made some capital instead of writing about capital, things would have been much better.” Lenin was shocked that such a “well-adjusted woman could live in a bourgeois society.”  He was accustomed to Soviet political commissars controlling everything and everybody.

Capitalism is not perfect, but it does not deny the existence of the soul, of God, of the inventive minds of people who are unique individuals with God-given rights to explore all possibilities and opportunities to become the best that they can be, not hobbled by the communist police state.

It is surprising that Hollywood produced this episode in 1993, so soon after the “fall” of the Soviet Union in 1990. It would be ideal if public schools in the 21^st century America would teach students in detail how socialism and communism had enslaved and terrorized millions around the globe. This education would dispel any positive opinions young people have about communism.

The Globalist Communists

The communist tyrant Ceausescu’s favorite descriptor for any person who held anti-communist views was “reactionary.” He even called Republicans “reactionary.” Any human who was not a communist was a “reactionary.”

Since he took power in 1965, Ceausescu was the absolute ruler of everybody and everything. His dear leader portraits were hung in public buildings, offices, courts, classrooms, stores, on building fronts, and stores.

Anything the tyrant wished became law with a scrawl of his pen. He could make life unbearable for anyone. All the domestic media belonged to him and entertained his every whim.

Scinteia (the spark) was the “official voice of the Communist Party.” As the main indoctrinating rag, Scinteia dedicated its front page to stories of what Ceausescu did the day before, “praising his leadership in every facet of life.”

Every day the radio and television broadcasts ended with the lying praise, “to the most adored and esteemed son of the Romanian people.” People who were not boot lickers of the Communist Party, hated his guts.

From time-to-time important people defected to the west; Ceausescu was humiliated and took such defections personally. The defectors were painful thorns in his side, and he ordered their immediate capture and assassinations.

It was not enough that he subjugated an entire population with his Communist Party philosophy of imprisonment, famine, and death. It was not enough that he stole their freedom, dignity, pride, and basic human rights. He wanted more, way beyond the cult of personality which he had built around his persona. He wanted to be the ultimate lord and god over their lives.

All came to a halt one day, not because people finally had the courage to revolt, they did not. Not because they were armed, they were not. Not because they were organized, they were not. (They snitched on their own families to get a few extra crumbs of food.) Not because the church united them, it did not. (The church worked with and for the Communist Party and against its own parishioners.)

Ceausescu was deposed in a KGB-GRU directed coup which installed its own Gorbachev protégé, Ion Iliescu, to power. The same Communist and Security police individuals stayed in place. Ceausescu and his wife were summarily executed, following a brief army-directed trial on Christmas Day 1989.

People do not realize that they can vote themselves into socialism/communism regimes easily if they are not careful, but they cannot vote themselves out of socialism/communism.

After the Ceausescus’ double execution, “unfair and unfree elections took place, giving victory to Communists.” NSF (National Salvation Front) suppressed opposition parties and publications. The Security Police intimidated people like before.

Funderburk wrote that NSF-Iliescu-directed ‘miners’ beat up anti-Communist demonstrators and trashed the opposition parties’ offices. Under the new communist rule, the economy worsened during the winter of 1990-1991 when inflation tripled; wages stayed the same except for the miners’ wages.

The military-intelligence coup was planned months in advance by the Soviet KGB and GRU. They conspired with a pro-Soviet group in Bucharest to remove Ceausescu by using a popular uprising against Ceausescu. It was done to preserve communism and reorganized it under different communists. The army was told to side with the demonstrators and against the Ceausescus.

Funderburk wrote, “The coup was masterfully staged and televised to the world.” Even the victims of the “revolution,” shown as dozens of bodies allegedly gunned down by Ceausescu forces, were actually “bodies in a pauper’s grave in advance stages of decomposition.”

The National Salvation Front (NSF) President, Ion Iliescu, was a life-long communist, Central Committee member, and a friend of Gorbachev from their college days in Moscow.

The NSF Prime Minister, Petre Roman, belonged to one of the oldest communist families in Romania and close friends with Zoia Ceausescu (daughter of Nicolae and Elena).

Local and county-level Communist officials just changed their hats of allegiance to NSF.

NSF gave freedom of travel and emigration, allowed contacts with the West, small private enterprises, and created the “appearance of political participation for non-communists.”

But the electoral campaign and the actual election were a sham. NSF controlled everything – information, jobs, salaries, police operations, communication, television, radio, transportation, access to media, and every facet of life in Romania.

The opposition to the NSF commies had their offices ransacked, people beaten, some beaten to death, campaign headquarters broken into, all materials destroyed.

The election was stolen long before the actual balloting took place. Election day violations were widespread, ballot boxes were stuffed, ballots were pre-stamped for the Front (NSF), police agent monitored the polls, manually placed people’s ballots in boxes, and intimidated voters – secret voting was not possible.

Howard Phillips, an observer, witnessed widespread fraud at numerous voting precincts in and around Bucharest. He wrote, “in a country where going against the government can cost you your home, your job, your freedom, or even your life, it takes unusual courage for an impoverished peasant to risk voting against the NSF in such circumstances.”

The fraud was so unbelievable that over 17 million votes were cast in a country where the electorate was only 16 million. Yet the regime in Washington categorized the May 20, 1990, elections in Romania as fair.

Thus, the stage was set for the globalist communists to thrive over the next three decades. New foxes were in the henhouse.
