“Global Humanity: The Nouveau Dictatorship” By Mimi Johnson

Wikipedia photo of Chernobyl 1986

I decided to re-visit “Chernobyl” on HBO. Americans in my generation and those before me, remember seeing it reported on the news, watching in disbelief - 1986 was a tough year. Not four months earlier, the Challenger explosion occurred, devastating the U.S., but also the globe in the midst of a continued space race.

If you have no idea what the name refers to, or if you are too young to remember it on the news, “Chernobyl” is a mini-series documenting the events in Pripyat, Ukraine, in April 1986, that led to one of the most horrific nuclear disasters thus far, in our history.

The series ebbs and flows by showing the dynamic contrasts between unsuspecting citizens and the corrupt communist Soviets who were so drunken with power, feeling that they were invincible and their science irrefutable, that they caused mass casualties and suffering reaching as far as parts of Western Europe.

It is an eerie reminder of the continued back and forth misinformation we are receiving in regards to covid-19. “Yes, trust the government scientists, they’ll always do what’s best for us.” “What could possibly go wrong?”

“Stupid people questioning the scientific deities anointed by other mortal humans. How dare you use your brains to question anything?” “Do as you’re told! Don’t you care about others? You’re a horrible person!”

This is how the Ukrainians felt as well and look what happened.  If I could ever give a concise, live action, definition of what a Dictatorship looks like, this disaster would be it.

As I’m watching and browsing Facebook, I come across posts from people on my friends list that continually refer to our country as a “dictatorship” and honestly, melancholy hits like a ton of bricks. None of you, including myself, have any idea of what true tyranny and suffering looks like, unless you’ve escaped communist and socialist dictatorships and have lived to tell your story.

Have you ever engaged people in conversations to learn what true hardships look like? Not just being poor, but being poor and frightened every single day of your life? Not targeted because of skin color, but just targeted for sport?

I continue to read posts of “friends” who claim to be so worried about the virus that they shame those who won’t wear masks, but in the same sentence, say they hope that those people die, particularly Trump supporters, and would snitch on them to ensure some punishment befalls.

What dystopian universe are we living in? Who are you to say something like that while simultaneously falsely touting being on the “right side of history.” Which is it? You’re worried about people contracting the virus and care about humanity or you want to protect only a select brood? If you don’t care about the safety of all people, you’re disingenuous and, in my opinion, a bad person.  Does that attitude sound familiar? It should, as that was many dictator’s agendas. Save only those that comply and think what I tell you to think.

How do you sleep at night knowing you’ve typed horrific rhetoric for the world to see with your name firmly emblazoned on the internet, never to be forgotten or erased? That type of attitude is exactly how the Soviets, amongst many other tyrannical governments, felt about and treated their citizens.

A true dictatorship involves instilling such fear in its citizens that they would NEVER form a march, protest, tear down statues, and attack police. They are drones, never questioning anything, not allowed free thought, and terrified to even deviate from the same path to and from home. The police would never bow to you or stand down, they would eliminate all in their way. They’d never be allowed to voice an opinion other than what is being told to them via the government.

In our society, the narrative is totally controlled by the media, not the government. In fact, in a true dictatorship, the media would be in complete alignment with the government, because it has autonomous control over the people.

You’d be taken from your home and never seen again. It is impressed upon me that Americans have so much unconsciously and consciously biased privilege, that we can’t see the reality of the amount of freedoms we all enjoy despite color or culture, even the freedom to destroy other people and their property and our own sordid history, foolishly thinking this is progress. This is regression.

The only dictatorships I see are the ones shaming and attempting to force their ideals upon others, then laugh at them, ridicule them, and want them dead, because their thoughts don’t align to theirs. I’m ashamed to be associated with anyone who feels that way, and you should be as well. That’s not the definition of democracy, that’s blatant tyranny.

I have never felt so hopeless about the trajectory of our futures. I have tried to be a bastion of reason, hoping that people would listen and analyze data smartly, not sheepishly, but alas, it has fallen on a multitude of permanently deaf ears.

Our society is being led astray by nefarious forces, having the narratives carved out for us, implanted like an evil seed, and unleashed amongst the populace. As each day goes by, those seeds germinate, causing hatred to continually sprout with no end in sight. How do we truly move forward when there isn’t a clear future to be seen? How is it possible that in the span of a couple of decades, we’ve eliminated thousands of years of evolution and act like Neanderthals toward one another? No more reason or critical thought, just victimization and violence; immediately wanting to eliminate any dissonances in thought.

The millions of people, of all faiths, cultures, and races, who died under true oppressive regimes would want more than anything to be here to tell their stories, but unfortunately were not given the opportunity. They would want to educate the masses on unity and the importance of free thought and expression, remind us how good we truly have it, and scoff at the ridiculous things we squabble about.

I don’t want to erase history, I want to be reminded of it daily. I want all to know of the countless sufferings that allow us to be the spoiled, unappreciative humans we’ve become. We’ve reached the 7th level of Dante’s inferno. How do we come back? What is the answer? I don’t claim to know many things, but a very wise person once told me, “listen and read more, talk less. Talking leads to arguing, this leads to misunderstandings, ultimately ending any peaceful means of societal balance.” I’d say listening more and talking less would be a pivotal start.

Covid-19 Nursing Homes Neglect

My mom’s mental and physical health has deteriorated enormously in the last four months of the forced lockdown in her nursing home. They were kept isolated and bed-ridden without the benefit of any exercise or even wheelchair self-strolling.

The staff lost her dentures for the seventh time in four years and a trip to the dentist did not help as her jaw muscles were too weak to bite down to make imprints for new dentures.  Leg muscles, and most muscles in general have atrophied from lack of movement.

By order of the Virginia Health Department, they shuffled the elderly from the rooms they knew into unknown rooms previously occupied by other patients sick with the flu.

The entire move was done in one day, hardly enough time to sterilize the rooms properly. They hurriedly threw some of their belongings in plastic bags and put them on the floor in the new rooms with a roommate.

The single occupancy rooms were dedicated to Covid-19 patients’ isolation. Of the 101 residents, 76 tested positive for Covid-19 and 26 did not. Most who tested positive were asymptomatic.

Mom was tested twice for Covid-19 and came up negative both times. But she got pneumonia from the flu even though she had a mandatory flu shot. Thankfully, she recovered, her second bout with pneumonia in three years.

Eventually eight people died of underlying multiple illnesses but were marked as Covid-19. One man was 100 years old. In the best of times, caretakes and underpaid careless facility cleaners carry bacteria and viruses from room to room.

Recently, the nursing home resumed admission of new patients, but former residents are still in lockdown and families are not allowed to see them.

Among the many sad lessons, I learned from this flu epidemic called a “pandemic,” was how poorly and inhumanely the elderly were treated in nursing homes.

Jon Rappaport called the Covid-19 the “nursing home disaster.” He wrote that it was “mass murder by cruelty,” and by painful physical isolation, lack of mental stimulation, and loneliness. He added that “The excess mortality of 2020 is largely the result of elderly people dying in nursing homes.”

He explained, “it has nothing to do with a virus, it has to do with patients who are already on a long downward health slide---then hit with the terror of an arbitrary and fake Covid-19 diagnosis, and then isolated and shut off from family and friends---in facilities where gross neglect and indifference are all too often the ‘standard of care.’”

I can certainly attest to the neglect and slowly delivered care despite my weekly insistence. Under the best of times, mom was neglected. Now I cannot have access to her at all, I have no idea of her level of care. There are some good nurses who care about their patients but most of them do not stay long, replaced by foreign caretakers who do not relate to our standards of medicine.

It is easy to overcome nursing home patients with terror and isolation. When I asked to take mom outside for a stroll for fresh air and sunshine, even wearing gloves and a mask, I was told that she would have to be put in isolation for 14 days if I did that. But if she would go out into the world for a doctor’s visit, that would be approved.

And the elderly locked down at home, scared to death by the non-stop media COVID-19 panic, died alone and isolated, afraid to call 911 for help. Those who did go to the hospital, were intubated immediately with breathing ventilators, heavily sedated with several drugs, never came out of sedation to breathe on their own again and died.

Forbes reported on May 22, that in 43 states, “42% of all COVID-19 deaths have taken place in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.” The excess mortality allegedly came from nursing homes and the use of ventilators in hospitals. https://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2020/05/26/nursing-homes-assisted-living-facilities-0-6-of-the-u-s-population-43-of-u-s-covid-19-deaths/#46e33a6074cd

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) looked at charts of 5,700 patients with Coronavirus infections who were hospitalized in 12 hospitals in New York City and the patients’ outcome based on age, sex, and co-morbidities. The mortality rate on ventilators was 88.1 percent.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32320003/

The Communist Control Face Mask

Oleg and Ludmila Protopopov
Wikipedia photo

Four months into the corona manufactured pandemic, blue states are still enforcing draconian measures to wear masks everywhere in public for your own good lest be seen as a danger to society, public enemy number one, and to the well-being of those around you.

If your mask does not cover your nose properly, there are Karens nearby who let you know immediately that you are wearing your mask incorrectly or a barista with a sonorous voice who asks you to cover your nose. You are not allowed to say, I cannot breathe behind it for medical reasons, because that is a racist statement and cultural appropriation, and nobody cares about your well-being when it violates the collective good.

The mask has a different symbolism for those who lived under communism and yearned to escape to the freedom of the west before the Iron Curtain fell in 1989. A good example is the Russian skating couple, Oleg Protopopov, and his wife Ludmila Belousova, who defected to Switzerland in 1979 while on a tour from Soviet Union and became Swiss citizens in 1995.

Ludmila recounted how on their last skating routine in front of the Soviet communists before defecting to the west, she danced in a black costume representing death (of soul, of spirit, at the hands of the Communist Party), while Oleg wore a black mask, the pretense façade most citizens had to adopt in order to cover their real feelings and to survive the oppressive regime of the Communist Party. At the end of the routine, Oleg overcomes death (the Communists) and removes his mask, skating into the light (of freedom).

Personally, the Covid-19 mask has surpassed the utility of protecting us from a potentially harmful virus, it has become the mask that muzzles biting dogs. It is the mask we had to wear when we were forced into harvesting grapes for free every fall in high school when we had to wear masks that prevented hungry and thirsty students from eating any grapes.

Masks were used in other cultures to control and enslave people, to diminish, and demoralize them. Masks were and still are worn as a form of obedience.

President Donald Trump shared a tweet that argued that the mandated use of face masks represents a "culture of silence, slavery, and social death." 

Beyond the normal isolation of 14 days and quarantine (40 days) following the outbreak of an illness, liberty loving people resist the mask and see it as a form of communist indoctrination while the progressive/liberal segment of society is more than happy to comply and wear the masks indefinitely.

Conservatives see the blue states mandatory mask wearing as forcing compliance by legal means with fines, threat of, or actual loss of jobs, denied access to stores, restaurants, businesses, and medical doctors, dispensing “political medicine disguised as medical science.”

Leftist all-knowing and snitching Karens and their submissive husbands wear the mandatory masks with eagerness and arrogance because they virtue-signal how good they are. They want to make sure you know how respectable their character is and how morally virtuous and superior is their political correctness.

Masks were thought to prevent the Black Death, and ridiculous shapes of masks were designed and worn to ward off the bubonic plague.

Masks aren't about public health but social control," a conservative columnist tweeted, linking to a Federalist piece.

Molly McCann wrote, “To those looking to benefit politically from emergencies, COVID presents an opportunity to advance plans targeted to transform American freedom and the American way of life. Mandatory-masking policies provide a valuable foundation to weaponize the virus against American liberty—now and in the future.”  https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/27/mandatory-masks-arent-about-safety-theyre-about-social-control/

But there is an important question, how long must a mask be worn? Will we have to wear them indefinitely, or every flu season? Will the necessity of mask-wearing disappear after the November elections? Will we have Covid-2020 and thus the masks will never go away?

And last, but not least important, what will happen to our immune systems that are no longer strengthened by exposing ourselves to viruses and bacteria around us? How weak will such sheltered immune systems become? Will we need to live in a bubble?

Reparations: The Bigger Picture and Solution to Enhancing the Conservative Movement By Mimi Johnson

In the last decade, we have seen a huge movement involving genealogy and ancestry. Scientists are slowly perfecting ways to identify where we all come from around the globe, catapulted specifically by the Mormon Church and their massive database of gathered DNA.  Whether or not you agree with these at home kits or not, they have done tremendous good in reuniting families and giving a new found life to millions of people. 

Many feel that the Mormons are harvesting DNA from unsuspectingly naïve individuals, for nefarious uses, and others feel that they are working directly with the government in a way to garner any and all information on citizens.  The truth of the matter is that your DNA is everywhere, in public, at home, at work, you can’t escape shedding it wherever you inhabit. Your smart phones and computers pose the ultimate risk in having your identity compromised. 

There is an excellent show on PBS, called “Finding your Roots,” hosted by a Harvard Professor named Louis Gates Jr, nicknamed “Skip,” where he brings on various celebrities, most of which are black Americans with a small white American demographic, to trace their ancestries and to discuss the urban legends associated with their patronage.  It is no secret that black Americans cannot trace their lineage as readily and easily as white Americans, but this program can and has eliminated a lot of biased assumptions in the black community. 

Most black families assume that they have Native American blood to explain different hair texture or having a lighter complexion than others, or that their ancestors were raped by their white slave owners, therefore tainting their bloodline, resulting in a multitude of differences in skin color, hair texture, and facial features within the black race. 

In some instances, their assumptions are absolutely true, but Louis Gates Jr. was able to show most black Americans that not only was there not any Native American in their lineage, but that the vast majority of them were also descendants of free men and women, never having been enslaved. 

This revelation shook their being and there was a look of confusion on their faces as he explained, via documents and pictures, who their ancestors were, their occupations, and from where they originated.  They were so indoctrinated into believing that each person of black skin color was a victim, enslaved, tortured, or mistreated by white Europeans and Americans, that even when shown evidence, most were skeptical. 

Dr. Gates is not attempting to “whitewash” anyone’s struggles, but moreover educate masses with the truth, because, after all, it shall set us free.  Misdirected anger and false narratives are a disease in our current society, and I appreciate a program such as his, that shows the truth about our collective history. 

Many assumed that their great grandmothers and beyond were forced to lay with white men, thus creating mulatto children, but in many cases, they were ahead of their time and in loving, interracial relationships.

I must admit that those revelations surprised me as well, for I had always been taught that white southern men in the 18^th-19^th centuries were predators who viewed black women and men only as property.  Many of his guests sat there in disbelief, and even challenged his findings to ensure it was accurate.  It must be exceedingly difficult to accept a new truth, when you have been fed a specific narrative your entire life - it takes some adjustment. 

Conservatives are not thinking outside of the box when it comes to reparations.  My theory is that once people begin delving into their genealogy, there may not be as many reparations to dispense as the democrats claim.  As Dr. Gates has proven, facts matter. 

Legislation could be written including that any American applying for reparations must prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that in fact they are descendants of slaves.  Once people have assessed their lineage, this starts an entirely new dialogue and gives conservatives solid talking points.

 

I am not suggesting that there would not be many people compensated, but the numbers would be drastically lower than initially reported. I think democrats are analogous to hormonally raged teenagers who think their parents are stupid and uncool, so they must embarrass them, defy them, and prove them wrong at all costs.  The best parenting method is to let them make their own mistakes, suffer the consequences, educate, and move forward. Over time, the mistakes turn into wisdom. Conservatives should take a page out of Trump’s book and ask themselves “ at this point, what do we have to lose?”

You Can’t Miss What You Don’t Have in the First Place

Growing up in the proletariat class of communism, we never had much time to ponder over our perennial hunger or our miserable state in life, we were too busy trying to find something to eat, most of the time standing in lines daily to fight over the supply of food allotted that day by the benevolent socialist government run by the Communist Party.

Most of us were quite thin, malnourished, lacking vitamins and proper nutrition, but we were all in the same boat and we could do nothing about it as we had no arms to mount a rebellion to overthrow the Communist Party.

The communists and their sycophants ate well, lived well, and enjoyed all the luxuries they accumulated by stealing everything of value that the proletariat at large had owned prior to the Bolshevik revolution. Their bank accounts were full, they took nice vacations and often, and we watched with resentment from afar.

We did not have the opportunity to better ourselves, or to develop the inner talents we were born with. We were too busy following the Communist Party rules and absurd regulations, to make sure we did not violate any of them or else we were imprisoned or re-educated in Siberia.

Creativity and allowed speech had to follow strict Party guidelines or else be censored for violating communist community standards, not unlike the social media moguls’ dictates today. But instead of being in Facebook jail for 30 days, you would find yourself in real prisons and the jailers threw away the key until they saw fit to let you go. Nobody followed the law, the law was what various Communist Party apparatchiks decided on a whim.

Individuality was verboten and nobody developed new ideas, projects, research, and other technical gadgetry. Worthless group-think with strict guidelines that augmented the collective was allowed.

I saw through the windows of nice restaurants an abundance of food that was sorely missing in our government-run empty stores. These restaurants were off-limits for us as only the communist movers and shakers could afford such luxury. Mom was making 800 lei per month which, divided by the artificially pegged exchange rate of 12 lei to the dollar in 1980, it was about $67 a month from which we had to buy food, pay for water, electricity, rent, bus fares, and medicine. Dad was making slightly more, about 1,200 lei per month, a whopping sum of $100.

A fresh college graduate with an Economics degree earned the huge sum of 1880 lei per month, about $157 per month which allowed such a graduate to live a much better life if they could find food and lived together with their parents in a small 600 square feet concrete block apartment, standard government issue subsidized housing for all.

The proletariat knew they were missing a lot – they saw how rich Texans lived on the television series “Dallas” and their make-believe oil tycoon family. For some reason, the decadent capitalist show passed the censors. Perhaps they allowed the series on TV in order to show how evil capitalists were and that is why we lived so poorly, they were stealing it from us. At least that was the daily propaganda we heard on the two black and white television channels.

We were riveted weekly to another episode so that we could live vicariously and imagine what it would be like if we had their food, clothing, and the comforts of a real home instead of the drab match boxes we were stacked on 5-9 stories high after the wise Communist Party stole our private properties, homes, and land.

Before the show ended, I moved to the U.S. in 1978 and, as the next season of Dallas played on American television, my family back home was flooding me with questions about the show such as “who killed J.R. Ewing,” but most of all, did Americans live so well and did they have so much food?

I never thought personally that food would become an issue 42 years later in America due to a tyrannical government lockdown of the population under the guise of protecting them from a flu virus. The lockdown caught many people unaware who were buying food in smaller quantities and less frequently because many Americans ate in restaurants several times a week.

As an escapee from communism, the lockdown affected me much worse than it did many Americans around me. They were happy to hide behind masks, stay home, watch TV, get paid weekly for doing nothing, let government tell them what to do, where to go, how, and when. They were happy to comply. But to me, removing the choice of staying home or going out felt like the former communist life.

I went to restaurants just like my American brethren and now, the government closed them down and locked us in our homes with only permission to go to the grocery store and pharmacies. Suddenly, once the state government removed any opportunity to go to a restaurant, it felt much worse than when, under communism, we could not afford to go. I felt the tyranny on a much deeper level.

The entire communist country where I grew up was one big lockdown prison, with borders guarded with machine guns, heavily armed soldiers, and razor sharp barbed wire. But in the U.S., where radicals want to erase borders, we were bombarded by PSA propaganda, i.e., “we are in this together,” “alone together,” “you are not alone,” etc., all meant to increase and maintain population compliance. The country became one big masquerade ball with masks made of all sorts of materials including, as my friend Alexis joked, “Dr. Fauci’s underwear.”

I thought that this was a much more insidious form of tyranny. When it became evident that it was just a flu, the state and local government bureaucrats did not relent their socialist control of the populace and people continued to remain cowardly subdued, afraid of dying of the Covid-19 flu virus, while losing constitutional freedoms each day without as much as a whimper.

The moral of both experiences compared is that you can’t miss what you don’t have in the first place, but it sure feels much worse when you do have something and that something is taken away permanently.

Societal Degradation and Cultural Marxism

Rust and decay
Photo: Ileana Johnson

Over the last four decades, political correctness promoted strongly by academia and the MSM has gained steam and unprecedented momentum. The “progressive” wing of society exploited the rest by using their money, power, and influence to install Cultural Marxism.

The nuclear family, Christianity, traditional morality, race, gender, and sexual identity were attacked one by one to achieve this goal. All were depicted as tyranny of the “evil white man” who benefited from “white privilege” at the expense of the “black and oppressed man.”

“Cultural Marxism is a Marxist dialectic infused with Freudian theory and applied to identity and culture.” People are divided into groups, each with their own narrative of historical oppression. These groups are given the status of victimhood and thus all its members must fight together against the predetermined oppressors. The members then transform the perceived wrongs and resentments into full-blown hatred for Caucasians, resulting in protests, riots, and cultural revolution.

The Italian socialist Antonio Gramsci wrote that Christianity, the bedrock of Western European cultures, stands in the way of socialism. The fifth column inside these countries should be used to destroy the foundations of the Western culture, he wrote, thus enabling the advance of socialism at all levels of society.

The Marxist scholars of the Frankfurter School at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, Germany, picked up Gramsci’s idea and, when they fled Hitler’s Germany, they brought it to New York where they started training Doctors of Education and Doctors of Philosophy.

They then indoctrinated Marxist teachers who influenced every generation of students in our public schools and universities, immersed in Marxist theory, with hate and disdain for their own country, its symbols, heroes, its Judeo-Christian roots, and its history.

Their ultimate goals were to seek power and to resolve the manufactured injustices, created by Cultural Marxists activists, with radical social engineering projects that will fundamentally and irreversibly change our society.

The celebrated hero of the radical left is Karl Marx, who, in collaboration with his friend Friedrich Engels, wrote that the history of all societies is a history of class struggles between two basic classes of people, the owners of the means of production (the exploiters) and those who sell their physical labor to survive (the exploited).

In socialist countries the means of production were owned by the omnipotent Communist Party-ruled government (the exploiters) and those who sold their labor for pennies a day, the proletariat (the exploited). A powerful force which enabled the tyrannical government to stay in power, was composed of police, military, and hundreds of thousands of paid snitches, Karens.

Marx was an intellectual bum who was allergic to work, content to be supported by his rich friends, while his large family suffered from his neglect and his lack of willingness to work in order to provide food and a decent existence. As the communist apparatchiks often repeated to each other, “hard work is for the tractors.”

Marx and Engels saw the oppressors and the oppressed in constant struggle and …”in a revolutionary reconstruction of society at large or in the common ruin of the contending classes.”

The duo believed that one day there will be peace instead of war and unity instead of opposition. Never mind that this statement “violated their own theory of dialectics which says nothing in nature can be at rest – everything is a unity of opposing forces.” (W. Cleon Skousen, The Naked Communist, 2014, p. 49)

And the root of all this class struggle, they said, is private property which must be abolished at all costs. There is no coincidence that U.N. Agenda 21/2030 states that private property is not sustainable and must be dispensed with to fulfill its 17 sustainable development goals.

Engels wrote that class hatred rose from private property. In the absence of private property there will be no greed, pride, selfishness, imperialism, and war. “Private property also had led to the necessity of creating the State.”

Having lived under the boot of socialism dictated by the Communist Party, I know firsthand that classes do exist, the communist party elites with their followers, and the poor proletariat whose private property had been confiscated by the Communist Party and distributed to the communist elites and their sycophants.

Karl Marx was the founder of “scientific socialism,” whose ideas, in collaboration with his benefactor Friedrich Engels, launched decades of pain, suffering, famine, killings, tortures, and forced labor camps for those whose ideas were divergent from communism. They were punished and sent to reeducation camps in the infamous gulags where many perished. The Marxist philosophy caused more than a century of oppression of people struggling to survive day bay day under the communist utopian boot.

Teen Vogue presented Karl Marx in 2018 in a rosy light, as the “anti-capitalist scholar and economist.” There is no mention at all how Marx’s dangerous ideas, applied in many Soviet satellite countries, have resulted in the death of 100 million innocents at the hands of the Communist Party totalitarian regimes. https://www.teenvogue.com/story/who-is-karl-marx?utm_campaign=falcon&utm_medium=social&mbid=social

“Scientific socialism” was an actual course taught yearly to both high school and college students in socialist Soviet satellite countries. The U.S. advisor, who looked at my transcript in 1980, laughed when he saw such a course. He said that they do not give college credit for Marxist indoctrination. Today I would probably get six hours credit and a trophy.

There is nothing scientific about socialism and it does not take care of people as the name implies. (socius, Latin for comrade, ally) Just as there is nothing “shared” under communism except misery, pain, and suffering. (communis, Latin for shared)

There are many overtly declared socialists and communists today in Congress and in state and local governments, yet they live under and profit from the capitalist market economy.

The World Workers Party, a self-defined “revolutionary Marxist Leninist communist party in the United States,” celebrated in May 2018 in New York 200 years since the birth of their guru, Karl Marx. The theme was Marx@200, the Class Struggle in the Age of Trump.

Never before has a sitting U.S. President been so vilified, disrespected, insulted, and maligned continuously by the radical left like President Trump has, a man who gave up a lot to help our country and to create a thriving economy for all until the Corona-19 virus plan-demic hit.

There is an insufferable, bizarre, and constant hateful rhetoric coming from the left and their Democrat Party’s divisive and anti-American platform which glorifies criminals, rioters, and looters.

Communism had been tried in 1620 in the Pilgrim Colony at Plymouth. This communist society of religious men and women was determined, due to their isolation, to succeed – they had to work to survive.

Governor William Bradford wrote that young single men resented having to work to sustain those less able to work, and for other men’s wives and children. Men’s wives did not want to be slaves to those who were not married, i.e., “dressing their meat, washing their clothes, etc., they deemed it a kind of slavery.”

The production of this communist colony was so low that “the colonists were faced with starvation.” The moral of this actual event was that the taking away of property and bringing it into a commonwealth was a huge mistake. Communism was abandoned in favor of free enterprise capitalism and the colony prospered.

Skousen wrote, “The Pilgrim Fathers had discovered the great human secret that a man will compel himself to go over so much further than he will permit anyone else to compel him to go.” (W. Cleon Skousen, The Naked Communist, 2014, p. 137)

Skousen continued, “Governor Bradford concluded that Communism is not only inefficient but that it is unnatural and in violation of the laws of God.”

A man named John Reed, a journalist, freshly returned from Moscow in March 1919 encouraged left wing socialists to form a communist party (a Third International copied after Marx’s First International to promote world revolution) in this country and to use “revolutionary activity to Sovietize America.”

And the violence and bombings (caused by communist activists) that followed are well documented by historical records but are certainly not taught in public schools, only Howard Zinn’s revisionist history.

Through young and brainwashed activists, talking points in support of communism were established. They are easily debunked:

-          Activists want to get rid of capitalism to save the planet

The planet does not need saving, Mother Nature is doing a fine job of coping and renewing itself with help from conservationists. Capitalism creates jobs and opportunities to succeed for all, while communist utopia crates slaves beholden to the omnipotent technocratic government.

-          Activists fight against war

Activists specializing in community organizing, agitation of the weak-minded, and indoctrination of the young compass-less would be better served to look for a real job and to contribute to the improvement of their fellow Americans of all races by volunteering instead of protesting for pay, building instead of burning neighborhoods and businesses that serve such neighborhoods, donating to needy families instead of looting, and cleaning instead of leaving tons of trash and destruction behind when they are done with the protest d’jour.

-          Liberation movements done in the name of fake problems and invented constructs

Everybody is free to work, to behave properly in polite society, when stopped by police, and to follow the rule of law. Apply yourselves, show up for work every day, don’t complain, renounce violence, stop being a protected minority, it is insulting to your intelligence and ability, pay taxes, use your time and money to study a meaningful subject matter that would result in employment, pursue useful skills that society needs instead of useless propaganda fluff majors, and integrate in society in a meaningful way. Social justice, racial justice, and environmental justice may seem like lofty goals, but jobs are scarce and temporary.

At the end of the day, radicalized young Americans are manipulated by the government, academia, and the media to gain control of society and to move it in the direction of socialism.  Cultural Marxism with its political correctness, multiculturalism, and anti-racism will degrade civilization and society for a long time.

The champions of violent Cultural Marxism, ANTIFA and BLM, are taking the country on a downward spiral with the blessing of federal, state, and local politicians who give them space to destroy, burn, and loot our once successful country, the envy of the world.

Eastern European countries are still trying to recover economically and emotionally after decades of Marxist oppressive rule by the violent Communist Party and their apparatchiks. Cultural Marxism will completely hamper their recovery and produce serious setbacks morally, economically, and financially.

Political Kneeling in America - Hostages to Stupidity

These are American Congressmen, sitting like hostages of political correctness, of hypocrisy, of social trends dictated by the media, kneeling in a religious gesture, not really knowing why, unless CNN tells me.

The stupidity of the situation is underlined even more by the fact that only one is actually using a little rug, the rest are kneeling on the hard floor.

These days many have knelt, soldiers, American policemen, Swedish policemen in front of migrants, Canadian premier in the face of its own imbecility, and as a general rule, whites in front of blacks. It seems nowadays, that if you are white in the West, you have a great supreme duty to kneel because of other people’s guilt, because of history, and because of a sick and corrupt system.

For us, thousands of miles away, this image must come with a double recommendation, I believe: don’t trust America as example of civilization, of the so-called “democracy,” because America is not a real democracy, nobody has blind trust in political leaders anymore, in politicians in general. Just look at the clowns on the left, the “progressives,” who do not pray to God, but instead engage in this ritual of religious essence, praying to NOTHING, except to their own stupidity interwoven with personal and political interests.

Personally, I can only laugh. We have seen many things coming from America, but seeing Congressmen on their knees in the memory of a depraved and drugged black man is a first.

Freedom Pod with Tom DeWeese

This past Saturday I braved the airlines, suffered through the mandatory mask-wearing, and flew to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to speak to the Restore America rally, along with Ammon Bundy, State Rep. Matt Shea and many others. Incredibly, several hundred people braved very cold 49 degree temperatures, a constant rain fall, and wind for almost eight hours to hear and support the large list of speakers. This is the growing spirit of the renewed freedom movement!

HELP APC FIGHT BACK

I told them how the Left is using the pandemic’s fear tactics to move forward with plans to enforce the Green New Deal and change our very system of government. And I told them how vital it was to learn to organize with fellow–free thinking neighbors to build our cause and fight back on the local level. “Make your own community a ‘Freedom Pod,’ where private property is protected and preserved, free enterprise protects and grows the economy, and you have the freedom to choose your own personal life dream!” That is a Freedom Pod. Do it in your community and it will spread to the next, and the next. But, I said, I’m very concerned about the lack of leadership from the Republican Party, on the local to the national levels. We have all the ammunition we need to run effective attack ads to reveal the truth to the American electorate. I said there should be a determined plan underway to secure our ballot boxes. And there should be challenges to every leftist incumbent in every race. We have never had more ammunition to win at every level! But none of that is happening! And that is why we need to organize ourselves at the local level and fight!

I told the enthusiastic crowd, “too many are just sitting back, waiting for Donald Trump to win. But, if he doesn’t have the support of city councils, mayors, state legislatures, governors, and of course, both Houses of Congress, then he won’t make it through his next inaugural address before he’s thrown out of office!” This is what the American Policy Center is fully focused on – leading the training effort to help win those vital elections and roll back these threats to our Republic. I concluded, saying, “The enemy has revealed itself – right there in front of us. You know what you have to do! Prepare to plant Freedom Pods in your city and CHARGE!” The American Policy Center is prepared to help lead that charge! Please stand with APC!

"Struggles Come in All Shapes, Sizes, and Colors" Facebook Post Opinion written by Mimi Johnson

As the world continues to crumble in a downward spiral of fire, hatred, division, and utter insanity, I decided to get off of the newsfeed and pay attention to other aspects on my FB profile. To start, I have 700 friends, the vast majority of which I know personally, have shared meals, stories, hardships, happiness, sadness, and many other emotions, and a small percentage I’ve never met, but in an ideal world, would love to meet.
As I started down my list, each name brought back memories of sometime from the distant or not so distant past, reflecting on the fun times and sharing similar battle scars of life. I vividly remember specific conversations that changed my life or impacted me in a positive way, and also impacting lives for the better. Most who meet me know that I try to be a kind, loving person to everyone until you give me reason not to be.
When I was growing up in Mississippi, I had a hard time finding where I belonged. Despite being white, my sister and I had major identity problems because we were raised by two Romanian women, my mother and grandmother, whose values and culture did not align with Mississippi’s cultural expectations. My mom was always so proud to be an American citizen, and wanted to adapt, having left such a horrible and miserable life in Romania, and as the years went by, she became more and more Americanized, shedding some old world habits, but never forgetting her beginnings.
It was almost like living a double life; at home everything was Romanian, and at school or work I was just an American. I have always been extremely proud to be half Romanian, a badge I wear proudly, but the southern culture didn’t see it the same way. I think my sister understood this and decided that she wanted to be just a MS southerner with no ties to any other place, and I desperately wanted people to see that I was a proud half Romanian young woman.
Struggles come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. The cruelty and “isms” of the world are endless. The world handed me a dose of reality at a very young age and I didn’t like how it tasted. The name calling, the shaming, the ostracizing, etc. Watching my mother, despite being Caucasian, being treated with utter irreverence at her job, not invited to events because she’s an “immigrant,” not allowed into social organizations for the same reason, the stares in public when we would start speaking in our language because my grandmother couldn’t speak English, the way people would look at us as if we were aliens, the way we dressed, the food we ate, the list could go on. In the midst of all of these things, I never wavered in wanting to be different. I always marched to the beat of my own drum and eventually, after many years, grew a thick skin. These horrible experiences molded me into who I became as a young adult.
I made it my life’s mission to defend the bullied, to treat everyone I met with kindness, to stand beside friends who are being mistreated, to be the example and hope that others would follow suit. To this day, when I see bullies, I see red and immediately launch into “mama bear” mode. To look at people and situations objectively, never making a quick assumption without all the facts.
Why am I sharing this with you today? I do so to show my solidarity with you. Yes, you that haven’t taken the time to read this, the mistreated, the sad, the angry; I understand what it’s like, I don’t agree with it, but I won’t jump on political bandwagons. Changing my profile picture doesn’t do a thing to change people’s hearts, but leading by example my entire life is the way I have emboldened change. It’s the way that I can truly make a difference in everyone’s lives. I live this solidarity every day, not just for a fleeting moment on FB. My silence doesn’t speak volumes, my actions do. Trust actions and not momentary grand gestures of the disingenuous. Take a look at your friends list and walk down memory lane. It may change your heart and mind today, you may gain a different perspective on things, or it may renew a neglected friendship.
