Communist Word Salad

 

I sat in the required Scientific Socialism class with eyes glazed over, pretending to pay attention to the daily indoctrination, a bona fide class which we had to pass in the communist education system to advance to the next grade. There was no science in such a class, just endless word salads in hundreds of paragraphs, each made more pompous by flowery euphemisms which did not reflect reality at all.

The rhetoric was the same and we had to memorize the word salads by heart, essays devoid of reality which included endless, shallow in meaning paragraphs. The word salads extolled the miracles of the proletariat living in a just and happy socialist society that only existed in the confusing theoretical explanation of Marx’s Communist Manifesto pamphlet and in the heads of the Bolsheviks.

As a logical and thinking person, it was impossible to believe the cleverly crafted communist lies when reality surrounded us with misery every day – endless lines for food, services, medical care, and transportation in rickety buses or dirty trains. These liars forced the proletariat to survive on 200 g of food per day, while they ordered expensive food from abroad. They robbed and stole from the exploited people and threw dissenters in jail. They called us the proletariat and they ruled and controlled us with their “dictatorship of the proletariat” nonsense. The proletariat did not rule anything. We were controlled by the Communist Party rulers.

While the working class had one pair of shoes and one outfit per year, the dictator Ceausescu and his wife burned their clothes and shoes every day. They never wore the same outfits twice for fear of contact poisoning. Their obscene and wasteful wardrobe outdid Imelda Marcos’ 3,000 pairs of shoes.

Propaganda filled the pages of magazines, newspapers, and books with florid language and meaningless paragraphs about the virtues of socialism and communism, hollow word salads written by many writers and poets employed by the regime, crafty writings that we were forced to memorize and regurgitate convincingly in class.

We were terrorized by fear by a Marxist tyrant who deprived us of dignity, food, heat, electricity, medicine, medical care, decent housing, and adequate clothing. He held endless monologues in front of the nation while the attendees had to clap every other paragraph.

He had children, young people, and old adults killed. His henchmen took orphans, abandoned children, and trained them to be murderers of their own people. They cut off oxygen lines in hospitals and shot people in their hospital beds. They hid food reserves that could have fed entire cities for months.

In the communist tyrant’s word salad monologues (the dear leader loved to hear himself talk), clasa muncitoare (the working class) pops up constantly. He was referring to Marx’s proletariat, which is the working class of the 19^th century.

Marx wrote that the proletariat sells its labor, deriving no profit from it, only the bourgeoisie does. Communists promised that such unfair practices would end under communism, private property would be confiscated, and distributed it to the proletariat. It was confiscated but nothing was distributed to the proletariat.

The working class still sold its labor cheaply to the only employer, the Communist Party, with its apparatchiks and informers who lived well from the profits and from the stolen property of the so-called bourgeoisie (the landed class).

Hegelian dialectic provided communists with convenient excuses to exploit the proletariat by duping them that they were being taken care of by the best social and political system in the world, a blatant lie.

Hegel was an idealist – his dialectic method of philosophy stated that the universe was both rational and spiritual. Karl Marx borrowed Hegel’s dialectic method to explain his materialistic concept of philosophy. Hegel used the dialectic method to interpret the past and the present. Marx used the dialectic method to explain the past and present and to predict the future, and to understand “the general laws of development” of nature and of history.

Communists claim three laws which govern the function of the dialectic:

1.     The law of unity and struggle of opposites (opposing classes that struggle, example used was the breakdown of atoms into protons and electrons)

2.     The law of negation (a thesis is negated by antithesis and thus produces the synthesis and then the synthesis becomes a new thesis against which a new antithesis arises; each step is described as a higher stage of development)

3.     The law of the sudden leap (quantitative changes often produce a qualitative change; as an example, they use water to make the argument that large quantity of it will be changed by temperature into steam (sudden leap and quantitative change).

Using this line of reasoning, communists tried to explain the development of man as follows:

-         Inanimate objects experienced quantitative changes and became living organisms because of a sudden leap.

-         Animals became men following more quantitative changes.

-         A sudden leap produced the human mind.

Applying this flawed line of reasoning to social order, communists describe their revolution as a “sudden leap that ushers in a new form of society.” Marx and Engels wrote that “the nature of a society at any given time was the direct result of the means of production then in effect,” which they called the substructure of society.” They identified the state, law, morality, and culture as the “superstructure.”

Following this fallacious argument, the communist view of history is a ladder which starts with the primitive-communal society, slavery, feudalism, capitalism, and finally ends with communism, the stage of a classless society in which the dialectical materialism process will cease to operate. The communist man will no longer be motivated by self-interest and there will be “no distinction between mental and physical labor and material abundance, absolute equality, and true social justice will prevail.”

This historical materialism which focuses on economics may seem to support the social inequities theory. But the communists cleverly cherry-picked historical occurrences that supported their flimsy theory. It is certainly not consistent with all historical events. Marx and Engels lived in the period of the Industrial Revolution when there were great social inequalities and large differences between economic classes.

Historical materialism is not a science of history, nor a science at all. Its five-stage communist development fails to explain societies in Asia. “Unlike Western society, which is based on private ownership of the means of production, the Asiatic society was based on state ownership of the means of production. Such despotic societies had two classes, state bureaucracy and the masses. The masses had no power. The Asiatic society never went through the feudal era, and it was notable for the absence of class revolutions.” (J.E. Hoover, A Study of Communism, 1962, p. 45)

Communists were and are wrong. History was and is influenced by many factors, not just economics and social justice. Famous people, good and bad (Lincoln, Washington, Martin Luther, Napoleon, Hitler, Karl Marx, Stalin, Mao) and inventors (Madam Curie, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Archimedes, Galileo, Copernicus) changed the course of the world. Other factors influenced the course of history, i.e., patriotism, quest for justice, religion, service, personal power, love, hate, revenge, beliefs, ideals, traditions, truth. Furthermore, the laws of natural science can never be applied to history and sociology. And history and sociology can never be exact like chemistry and physics.

The communists use the standard, “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” but who will decide where the person will work and what will satisfy his needs? Will each person determine his own ability and needs? How much chaos will that entail?

A pamphlet from December 1959, titled “Communist Illusion and Democratic Reality” states that “Communism propaganda portrays peace, social progress, and economic prosperity as characteristic of the communist world and claims that these make communism invincible. The noncommunist world, on the other hand, is pictured as seething with political instability, economic exploitation, and social upheaval.”

Having experienced on our necks the heavy socialist boot of the Communist Party, we can attest that peace comes from the ends of the communist guns, social progress is crowded in concrete grey apartment complexes, and economic prosperity was expressed painfully and daily while standing in long lines outside of stores to buy bread, bones, milk, cooking oil, and other hard to find necessities for survival.

The communist dictator’s word salad monologues did not feed our hungry bellies and the desire for real freedom outside the heavily controlled and locked borders, which kept us prisoners inside, was burning hot in our souls.

 

 

 

Propaganda Always Ends Badly

Language is a very powerful tool in the propaganda war machine that nefarious individuals unleashed upon the world with the promise that they were going to make their lives freer, richer, happier, and easier. Under the guise of cleverly worded and false narratives, masses across the centuries have been misled to march toward disastrous outcomes that took many lives and a long time to reverse if ever.

Take for instance the current weaponization of language around the globe where reality and biology are being attacked for political purposes and rational, logical people are required to accept the insanity of a few or they become societally marginalized, and potentially lose their jobs.

Linda Goudsmit wrote that …” language is weaponized, and perversion of pronouns in the English language has a particularly destructive political purpose.” That purpose is to destroy the individual, to force them to identify as the collective; “they, them, theirs,” is chosen instead of I, me, mine. https://goudsmit.pundicity.com/27086/the-politics-of-pronouns

Choosing such grammatically incorrect pronouns is not about respecting and accepting those who are odd in their behavior or who suffer from dysphoria. It is a push for the collective.  The drive towards communism could not be clearer. The Latin word “communis” which communism is derived from, means “shared,” “in common, collective.” The uniqueness of each individual is destroyed because all are forced to share the same thoughts and goals of the community, and no more individuality is allowed, it is forbidden.

The goal of destroying all children’s sexual identity, letting them transgender without their parents’ knowledge, aside from taking away the parental rights and their children’s ability to reproduce, is to turn them into slaves to the one-world government.

Globalist “values” and perverted sexuality are to be accepted as the new normal. This reality of the new normal will be turned into social policy, after which these insane norms become the law of the land in each country. Should you break this law, you are to be punished. It is already suggested by millennials that those who “misgender” them should be jailed because it is “hate speech.” Just asking questions can become hate speech and thus punishable by law. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pronoun-lockdown-almost-half-millennials-want-jail-time-misgendering

Not even Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin could devise a more devious way to enslave the masses through language and propaganda. After the successful Soviet Revolution in 1917, they declared their intent to establish a world communist society. They used propaganda and historical deception to convince the rest of the world to adopt communism. To that end, the international communist movement in other countries became an adjunct to Soviet policy.

A drive was launched by the international communist movement against “social fascism” as an effort by Stalin to eliminate the “right-wing” rivals in the Soviet Union. He had already eliminated the “left-wing” rivals. The Comintern (Communist International) instructed all the communist parties around the world to begin an attack against “social fascism.”

What was “social fascism”? It was an invented theory that social democracy was a variant of fascism which stood in the way of the dictatorship of the proletariat and advocated for a “shared corporatist economic model.”

Stalin saw the social democrats and the fascist forces as being in the way of his communist proletariat’s revolution. He launched an intense language propaganda to achieve his goals. Germany bought Stalin’s propaganda without question and the communists, and the socialists fought each other while Hitler’s fascists became more powerful. Eventually Hitler destroyed both the communists and the socialists in Germany.  

Only when Stalin realized his terrible role in the development of fascism in the world, did he change his ill-advised policy.  In 1935 all communist parties around the world adopted a united front tactic to fight fascism.

The Communist Party USA infiltrated and organized groups in their prime target, the “intellectuals.” When the communists used the word “intellectuals,” they meant teachers, writers, artists, scientists, doctors, and entertainers. With their help communism grew exponentially in the U.S.

The Soviet Union exported and built their brand of communism into countries around the world using propaganda language, financial assistance, apparatchiks, technology bribes, and other means. Soviet communism became a form of communist imperialism built on human misery and suffering.

According to communist dogma, the communist expansion had to continue until world communism was achieved and “true peace prevailed throughout the world.” What they really meant to do was to crush all opposition and then rule with an iron fist on a heap of helpless people.

Today, it is not Russia ruling over the world with an iron fist as Stalin had envisioned, it is corporatist billionaires and their NGOs.  Their goal is one world governance by the ultra-rich, bankrupting everyone else into poverty, and reducing population to a “manageable size” determined by billionaires who know what is best for humans and for the planet.

 

 

The Propaganda Master of Communism

Photo: Wikipedia

A 2016 BBC documentary titled, The King of Communism – The Pomp and Pageantry of Nicolae Ceausescu, focused on Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena’s cult of personality propaganda that helped maintain his brutal Communist Party dictatorship (1965-1989) in the Socialist Republic of Romania, a tyranny that irreparably damaged the soul of a nation. Sadly, the documentary was celebrated by people who still believe in his misery right up to this day.  http://independentfilmnewsandmedia.com/the-king-of-communism-nicolae-ceausescu-bbc-history-documentary-2016-video/

Unfortunately, the old communist ideology has been repackaged for Millennials and useful idiots in shiny new wrapping paper, with colorful and expensive free bows, by self-described Socialist Democrats like Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who are so far to the left of the political spectrum that are in danger of falling off the Marxist cart.

I felt compelled to write because, although obvious facts were presented throughout this documentary, some of the chosen witness testimony on this film rewrites history by hiding most of life’s reality under the Communist Party boot, focusing instead on the awe and respect that those who helped Ceausescu maintain his reign of terror through intense propaganda still have for him to this day.

Watching this documentary almost two-thirds through, unless you were witness to this sad history of the Romanian people, you would think that Ceausescu and his wife were virtuous people who helped establish the Romanian people in the world Pantheon of respect and admiration.

Most of those interviewed on film were intimately involved in supporting and maintaining the communist party dictatorship with lavish propaganda and highly choreographed shows televised live or on tape. They were still great admirers to this day of the peasant and his seventh-grade dropout wife who kept 22 million people starving, disarmed, and unable to protest and defend themselves, prisoners within the borders of their own country.

The documentary focused on the highly effective propaganda and the cult of personality fed by extravagant and theatrical marches and shows that presented the Ceausescu couple as the father and mother of the country, the miracle leader who dared to buck the mighty Soviet empire and condemned the joint invasion of Czechoslovakia on August 20-21, 1968  by four Warsaw Pact nations, Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Poland.

Never mind that the Soviets had been present in the country for a long time, advising them what to do, and training Romanian communist apparatchiks at the Soviet Communist Academy in Leningrad for years.

Each weekly extravagant show that forced workers and students to attend and glorify the dear leader cost 40 to 60 million lei, easily the salary of 100,000 people, starved and forced to live in communist-built apartments in town after their small plots of land were confiscated and collectivized by force and their homes bulldozed.

Ceausescu fashioned himself as the creator of a new Romania who needed to build the largest palace in the world, to his eternal glory. He destroyed homes in Bucharest (he condemned them because, he said, they looked like a gypsy village) that were in the path of his monstrous palace and moved the owners and renters in the country in apartments that had no sanitation or running water and residents had to use outhouses while the elderly who were not very mobile used buckets to be dumped into the outhouses daily.

An old Orthodox church was also in the way of Ceausescu’s dream. He had it moved 23 meters behind a high-rise apartment complex so that it would not be visible from his personal palace or from the street. Religion in general was frowned upon as atheism was the country’s religion.

His personal palace was designed, re-designed, built, a staircase built and torn, re-built, and nothing inside was ever imported. He built factories that made just a few parts in order to avoid importing anything from abroad where the parts would have cost peanuts by comparison. One of the largest carpets in the world was woven to decorate his monstrous hall – it was so heavy that it was impossible to unroll by hand.

The House of the People which now houses the Romanian Parliament (controlled by the largest party, the Social Democrats) is opened to the public for tours now. A cube of marble, quite ugly from the exterior, the building looks somewhat better on the inside. The Romanian people hate this building because of the heavy price they had to pay for it especially since they were never allowed inside, not even on the wide boulevards surrounding the building, avenues that went nowhere and larger than Champs Elysée.

This mammoth marble building, erected with the blood and sweat of starving and compliant Romanians, symbolizes the socialist oppression and repression that the equally miserable and poor proletariat rabble had to endure – how could 22 million people rebel successfully against such a totalitarian state ruling from this fortress?

At the time, could one of the poorest countries in Europe have afforded such a lavish structure when they lived like paupers, helpless spectators to their own downfall, actors, and “applauders” of their own demise at the hands of the Communist Party.

One of those interviewed in the BBC documentary, Gheorghe Arcudeanu (Show Director), a communist party sycophant, said, “He seemed like a good man. He enjoyed our shows. He thanked us for our work. It was a nice atmosphere for us.” Corneliu Vadim Tudor, a poet, another sycophant, describes Ceausescu as “a great statesman” who “will have his place in history.” He was right about that; he will have his place in the hall of infamy.

The spectacular theatrical shows remain on celluloid tape, but the nation who was forced to participate in them despised the Ceausescus. It was no surprise that he and his wife were summarily executed on Christmas Day 1989 after a two-day show trial.

History does not speak kindly of Ceausescu except in circles that advocate his communist party ideology. His Democrat Socialism robbed people of their pride, courage, wealth, land, freedom, and destroyed their souls, self-determination, and self-sufficiency.

Millennials Caught up in the Lies of Social Justice

Aldous Leonard Huxley in 1954

In a 1958 interview with Mike Wallace, Aldous Leonard Huxley, British writer and philosopher, discussed the power of technology, drugs, and propaganda as formidable methods of indoctrination. He talked about Hitler who used the press and radio very effectively to brainwash an entire nation to accept the evil that followed. He explained to Wallace:

“…  a piece of very recent and very painful history is the propaganda used by Hitler, which was incredibly effective. I mean, what were Hitler's methods? Hitler used terror on the one kind, brute force on the one hand, but he also used a very efficient form of propaganda which …he was using every modern device at that time. He didn't have TV, but he had the radio which he used to the fullest extent and was able to impose his will on an immense mass of people. I mean, the Germans were a highly educated people.”

Indoctrination through relentless propaganda is so effective that it creates slaves who are happy to be indentured. For example, most Americans accept property tax increases because they believe it benefits schools and their children. But in some areas, property tax increases educate the children of newly arrived Muslim economic refugees and illegal aliens who have crossed the border illegally alone or in caravans organized and advised by non-profits funded by the United Nations, businesses and elites with an interest to gain new Democrat voters, supporters for the globalist agenda, and cheap labor.

Huxley mentioned Orwell’s “1984” book and said “That if you want to preserve your power indefinitely, you have to get the consent of the ruled, and this they will do partly by drugs as I foresaw in ‘Brave New World,’ partly by these new techniques of propaganda. They will do it by bypassing the sort of rational side of man and appealing to his subconscious and his deeper emotions, and his physiology even, and so making him actually love his slavery. I mean, I think, this is the danger that actually people may be, in some ways, happy under the new regime, but that they will be happy in situations where they oughtn't to be happy.”

Huxley continued, “… there are methods at present available, methods superior in some respects to Hitler's methods, which could be used in a bad situation. I mean, what I feel very strongly is that we mustn't be caught by surprise by our own advancing technology. This has happened again and again in history with technology's advance and this changes social condition, and suddenly people have found themselves in a situation which they didn't foresee and doing all sorts of things they really didn't want to do.” http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com/articles/Mike_Wallace_interviews_Aldous_Huxley_May_18_1958.html

It is now painfully evident what propaganda through any means, especially through technology and drugs, and indoctrination for the last forty years through education, Hollywood, and the mainstream media, have done to younger generations of Americans. They are now the pliant drones, happy to be slaves to the globalist ideology which includes the U.N. Agenda 21/2030.

I had met recently with Millennials who validated abundantly the indoctrination theory, hard-core liberals, some of whom fortunately have not yet voted in presidential elections. They get their information from other thoroughly indoctrinated friends who hear certain phrases and fabrications passed as reality. Repeated ad nauseam by the shrill leftist media and their low-information followers, the propaganda becomes truth.

The young Millennials told me that they never hesitated to join in the fray of any protest marching in their town, no matter how vile or pointless. The excitement of the melee of the loud and well-paid rent-a-mobs, called them to join in the tussle.

There was a time when young Americans in their late teens and early twenties were responsible adults, settled down in marriage and family with children. Today they are immature in late adulthood, whiny snowflakes, easily triggered, cowardly, intolerant of others who disagree with them, living in their parents’ basements without any shame or feelings of self-respect and responsibility.

I had asked before what is it that they reject so vehemently, and I got blank stares or quick replies that President Trump is hated profoundly for being a racist. I asked them what it was that President Trump did that offended them so, evidence of racism, or how he impacted their lives even before he was sworn in and the answer was, he is bad, repeating the canned narrative they’ve heard on cable channels or from their equally misguided and misinformed friends.

When they received a tax refund last year thanks to President Trump’s tax policy, I asked if they refunded the money since everything Trump did or does, in their view, works against them and the “man.” They laughed and kept the money.

There is no leftist cause, no matter how outrageous, that social justice Millennials will not volunteer to support. They cannot really explain what they mean by social justice, and if there was ever, at any point in time social justice in the world.

They have no idea how society operates, how the economy is run, what it means to be an American citizen, the duties and responsibilities to family and to our nation. They are shameless, compass-less individuals with no future who think that getting a degree in social justice or women's studies will allow them to work for a non-profit and help people. They are not sure how, when, where, which people, and how they are going to pay their own bills and live. They just know, they will help people.

Khrushchev's Communist Propaganda Lives on In the Democrat Party Today

Nikita Khrushchev in 1963

“You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you'll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.” – Nikita Khrushchev

There was a time, sixty years ago to be exact, when people recognized communism as a threat to world peace, stability, and freedom. Works were published in the west that revealed communism and its dark totalitarian philosophy. Today most publishers bring to light anything liberal and progressive, singing lofty praises to socialism and communism.

Trident Press published in June 1961 a small pocketbook called Conquest Without War, “a mosaic of the words and ideas of the new force that threatens to change the way of life on this planet.” Compiled and edited by N.H. Mager and Jacques Katel, it used Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev’s own words and those of his ghost writers, words of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, and remarks and commentary made by the two editors in order to provide better understanding of the context in which Khrushchev made certain statements that outraged the world at the time but have been since forgotten in the dustbin of history.

It is crucial to unearth what was supposedly buried with the “death” of communism in 1989 as the American youth is utterly infatuated by socialism, communism, and the ideology which killed more people on the planet than many modern wars combined.

Khrushchev was never shy about stating his desire to establish world communism with the Soviet Union at its helm. Western countries did not take his rhetoric seriously at the time since the Soviet Union barely had enough resources to feed its own people adequately or pay his army well.

Soviet Bolsheviks had a vast network of spies and informers, a strong school of indoctrination, and a disarmed populace that was a very captive audience inside its vast borders, literally and figuratively, as the communist party made sure guns were confiscated for “the good of the people.”

The left in this country, represented by the Democrat Party, has accelerated its anti-gun rhetoric, determined to repeal our right to bear arms. Criminals would not exist, the left says, if only the benevolent government would be allowed to bear arms. Why would we need guns to protect ourselves when the government can do it for us?

Khrushchev’s speeches and unsolicited advice ranged from farming, how to milk cows properly, growing corn and wheat, to how to be a good Soviet, how to write novels, world affairs, harsh criticisms of world leaders, threats, communist slogans, and how communism will be victorious and rule the world under his power. He certainly passed away before he became ruler of the world, preventing more unnecessary human pain, suffering, and misery under his dictatorship of equality.

The central theme of his philosophy was “socialism v. capitalism.” How could he not be victorious over the “decadent, crumbling capitalism,” the very capitalism that has lifted the economic boats of millions of poor people in the U.S.

This theme, “socialism v. capitalism,” has been resurrected today by our domestic communists, new and old, declared communists among U.S. Congress members, socialist academics and public-school teachers, and their indoctrinated generations of students.

He believed that one man, with help from a small but trusted elite group, could control the entire life of humanity as long as the secret police, informers, and a strong army controlled everyone from cradle to grave with incentives for good behavior and harsh punishments for crimes of thought and of insubordination to his philosophy of total control of the human spirit.

Khrushchev died before his dream became reality – he never got to rule the world with an iron fist. But, his philosophical followers, have chosen the global communist leader to be the United Nations with its myriad of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) spread around the globe.

Rule by the Party of One and the Party State, ideas promoted by Khrushchev and the Bolshevik ideology have become the major political drive among the U.S. population, the electorate, politicians in power, and in other western nations which strangely mirror these developments.

How did the Soviets sell socialism to the masses? The method may seem eerily familiar to you today because it is exactly how the Democrat Socialists like Bernie Sanders and AOC are trying to sell socialism to their voting base.

1.       Socialism is presented as a good, progressive, enlightened, and effective system based on equality for all. Capitalism is bad, tired, and evil.

2.       Socialists/communists “cultivate falsehoods as a deliberate weapon of policy.”

3.       The young and useful idiots alike are mesmerized by socialism even if they don’t know exactly what it is, or understand the theory of “scientific socialism,” renamed “Democrat socialism” by Bernie Sanders; it just sounds great, everything is free and who can resist free?

4.       Socialists say that economic progress is not possible under capitalism because capitalists are greedy, and they exploit millions of “working people.” Never mind that socialism has been a disaster everywhere. The Scandinavian model of generous welfare Democrats desire is based on heavy capitalist taxation of corporations and of people, it is not socialism.

5.       Khrushchev said that after the liquidation of classes, the Soviets had a “monolithic society.” That was, of course, a blatant lie. Discrimination based on ancestry was rampant. There was the proletariat, the elites, and the farmers, all neatly stacked in their own little world.

6.       The capitalist system is based on workers who are “enslaved, living in capitalist bondage,” said Khrushchev. But he then admitted that the “slaves of capitalism” lived well. Compared to how we lived under socialism, I would choose capitalism over socialism every time.

7.       Capitalist workers are exploited, Khrushchev said. During Khrushchev’s time, Soviet workers received 27 cents of what they produced while Americans received 67 cents and they produced twice as much. I call that production efficiency not exploitation. And the distribution of the national product was more egalitarian in the U.S. “Egalitarianism was actually taboo in the Soviet Union.”

8.       Unemployment was described by socialists as the “great disaster of capitalism.” The truth was, during Khrushchev’s time, the “unemployed in the U.S. received in benefits almost twice as much as the Soviet worker was paid when he was employed.” Khrushchev said that in the USSR there was no unemployment. He called it surplus workers. If the Soviets did recognize that technological unemployment existed, they would have had to recognize that there were other categories of unemployment.

9.       Khrushchev warned those who did not work. “An able-bodied person who does not work steals from those who work, that is, lives at the expense of those who create material or spiritual values. An atmosphere must be created in which those who despise work are not tolerated. Every person who lives in a communist society must make a contribution by his or her labor toward the building and further development of that society.”

10.   Socialist women were emancipated, Khrushchev said. Yet they worked much harder than other women and at back-breaking work in factories, side by side with men.

11.   Eventually socialism will turn into communism when people will receive “to each according to his needs.” Translation – everyone will work according to his abilities and be rewarded according to his needs. Who will get to decide? The communist party elites. One thing is sure, nobody will be idle, everyone will toil for collectivism. Will there be enough wealth to satisfy all needs in whatever distribution scheme the elites arrange? Probably not, rationing will have to take place. But they say, there will be no more “want” of anything under socialism/communism. Really?

12.   When no more “wants” exist, the population will be entirely happy and satisfied and the police state will have to disappear. Will it? And then “the citizens will manage the nation.” Will they manage the nation, or will chaos descend?

The reality was that the Soviet Union, a super-welfare socialist state, with all its socialist satellites, had to be maintained by intense propaganda, an army of security police, regular police, economic police, informers, communist party apparatchiks, closed borders with mine fields and barbed wire to keep people prisoners within, armed security guards told to shoot if anyone tried to escape, propagandists at work, in schools, in the mass media, and enforcers who followed “lucky” travelers abroad very closely. All these armed to their teeth guardians of socialism kept a tight reign on the disarmed, afraid, and barely fed population. A dog kept on a chain all the time and partially fed has no choice but to appear loyal to his master.

Socialism was just boastful and meaningless semantic propaganda, cleverly worded and designed to keep a tight totalitarian reign on a scared and demoralized populace that realized too late that the rose-colored lies they were promised were just too good to be true.

De-Nationalize and Globalize at the Expense of Working Families in America

I have described in my book, “Liberty on Life Support,” the American economy and the country in general as a comatose patient.  There was even a widely circulating cartoon on social media picturing Uncle Sam on a hospital gurney, attached to life support, barely clinging to life. At first glance it may seem a gross exaggeration until you actually look at the national debt clock, understand the true state of the economy, the condition of the socialist and collectivist education driven by Common Core, and the political power and corruption.

It seems that fundamental changes are occurring around the globe, driving countries to de-nationalize, to destroy their sovereignty, and to globalize under the guidance of the same U.N. elites who know what is best for an “overpopulated planet” that is going to be destroyed by a manufactured global warming Armageddon.

If we accept the financial terms dictated by the trillion-dollar climate change industry, too vested into its own financial gain to care about the inhabitants whose lives and futures are expendable to the whims of the few billionaires, we might be spared our doomsday fate by allowing ourselves to be literally taxed to death. Money always solves problems for bureaucrats; why not tame Mother Nature with taxed money as well?

Our country is a sick patient who is being experimented upon by transnational groups that are intravenously administering “transfusion” therapies that are not in the best interest of the patient. It is an experiment that is supposed to prepare the patient for integration into the global master plan.

These transfusions seem to be quite toxic to the sick patient, especially when the treatment is administered against the will of the people. Once the patient is infused with so much globalism, the arteries are left wide open and the patient is likely to die, unable to defend himself from the onslaught of foreign body invasions.  At such a point, nationalism will disappear, sovereignty will be gone, and the strange idea of global citizenship will become mandatory.

Alienating people from their national roots, from their identity, culture, language, and history, will certainly endanger their safety and survival. This transfusion of globalism is likely to change the patient from a solid nationalist grounded in history into a Frankenstein-ish metamorphosis that will remove the patient’s spine.

The fundamental transformation around the globe is not going to leave any country unscathed or unaffected. The master plan is composed of many treaties, public-private partnerships, committees, organizations, and other foundations for the “public good.” Unfortunately, the good public had no input into its own plans, and was never invited at the planning table.

Here are some developments that have already occurred, fully advanced and propagandized by the main stream media:

Presidential candidate Donald Trump talked about China and the bad trade deals that Congress has made with foreign countries to the detriment of our nation. It flew by the ears of most people unless they were directly involved or victims of such bad trade deals like NAFTA.

On November 5, 2015, our government released the full 6,000-page document of Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP, a proposed 12-nation trade deal which is skimpy on trade and large on giving away our manufacturing sector to the third world. https://ustr.gov/trade-agreements/free-trade-agreements/trans-pacific-partnership/tpp-full-text

Seeking to establish one huge market, similar to the failed EU, TPP proposes to eliminate tariffs and other barriers to goods and services, trade, and investment, production and supply chains among TPP members, creating jobs in places other than U.S., raising the third world’s living standards by transfer of wealth, and increase welfare in third world nations. The tariff schedule includes “all goods,” about “11,000 tariff lines” and “all service sectors.”

Investments will be made via TPP in digital economy, green technology, commercial relations, and capacity building assistance in needy countries (more wealth transfer from the U.S.). Little or no customs control will release goods immediately. Cross-border services will be supplied electronically. Digital E-commerce, environment, and custom duties are also addressed.

Under environment heading, marine fisheries, conservation issues, biodiversity, invasive alien species, climate change, and environmental goods and services are discussed. This document seems more about every facet of the economy and much less about trade.

Financial services, government procurement, intellectual property, investment, labor, legal issues, rules of origin, technical barriers to trade, telecommunications, temporary entry, textiles and apparel, and trade remedies are included in this huge document.

If Congress has not read the 2,700-page Affordable Care Act before passing it in secret, in the dead of night, they certainly will not read this monstrous 6,000-page TPP proposed trade bill. Immediately, Bernie Sanders office wrote that the bill was “worse than I thought.”

"This trade deal would make it easier for corporations to shut down more factories in the U.S. and ship more jobs to Vietnam and Malaysia where workers are paid pennies an hour. The TPP is a continuation of our disastrous trade policies that have devastated manufacturing cities and towns all over this country from Newton, Iowa, to Cleveland, Ohio. We need to rebuild the disappearing middle class, not tear it down.”

"The TPP would allow foreign corporations to sue federal, state and local governments in an international tribunal for passing an increase in the minimum wage or any other law that could hurt expected future profits.

"The agreement would threaten American laws that protect the safety of the drugs we take, the seafood we feed our families and the toys our kids play with every day.

"At a time when prescription drug prices are skyrocketing, the TPP would make a bad situation even worse by granting new monopoly rights to big pharmaceutical companies to deny access to lower cost generic drugs to millions of people.

"Outrageously, the proposed agreement includes violators of international human rights, like Brunei, where gays and single mothers can be stoned to death and Malaysia where tens of thousands of immigrant workers in the electronics industry are working as modern day slaves.” http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/bad-trade-deal-worse-than-i-thought-sanders-says

I found myself agreeing with the socialist Bernie Sanders that a trade deal should benefit our country, our working families, not CEOs of multi-national corporations looking for cheap labor, low corporate taxation, and no burdensome rules and regulations.

According to A. J. Cameron, “free trade is euphemism for moving jobs out of the U.S. with the intention of destroying the U.S. economy, in order to bring us into the One World Government fold. NAFTA and GATT were just warm-ups for TPP.” The concept of free trade is just a ruse to facilitate the redistribution of jobs to other countries. The U.S. loses because “free trade stifles employment and wage growth,” forcing more Americans to depend on government for daily subsistence. Cameron believes that “the corporate tax rate is artificially high to provide cover for globalists to offshore operations and jobs. They have created a problem and designed a solution that only profits them.”

Corporatist globalists win all around because of lower wages and job redistribution overseas where regulations and anti-pollution measures are lax or non-existent which allows them to pollute away. This flies in the face of their so-called concern for the environment and for green growth much touted business model.

China is not part of this “treaty” they call “partnership.” But there is a provision for a non-member nation to request membership into this “slush fund” for the corporatist elites.

Whether this profound crisis across the globe will motivate citizens to save the comatose patient called USA remains to be seen. The experimental global change to de-nationalize, to devolve us into multi-nation “partnerships” in the name of free trade, and the fundamental transformation of western societies will have deep and long-lasting consequences for generations to come.

 

Propaganda, Totalitarians, and Somnambulism

Propaganda indoctrination springing from totalitarian regimes can have two human reactions: apathy and indifference to everything happening around you, admitting to yourself that there is nothing you can do about it, or the intense desire to study and understand it as if that process alone begins to redress what is wrong with such a system.

Take for example, the much maligned and hated Christopher Columbus. It is not possible that one single human being had caused all the havoc the leftist academia and their worshippers are heaping upon his memory.

Columbus managed to sail his way to the new world, and on October 12, 1492 sighted land, probably Watling Island in the Bahamas, even though he was looking for a western passage to China and India. There is such rabid leftist and misplaced hatred for this man as if he was the biggest genocidal maniac in the history of the world. The cause of such virulent reactions is likely the decades of propaganda indoctrination in schools masquerading as history.

“Totalitarians are very ingenious in arousing latent guilt in us by repeating over and over again how criminally the Western world has acted toward innocent and peaceful people.” (Dr. Joost Meerloo, The Rape of the Mind, p. 71)

Can we coexist with a totalitarian system?  It is highly unlikely because the definition of coexistence of the totalitarian is quite different from the definition of the free citizen, living in peace with one another. To a totalitarian, coexistence means total subordination to their whims, plans, and ideology. “The psychological roots of totalitarianism are usually irrational, destructive, and primitive, though disguised behind some ideology.” (p. 74)

The citizens of totalitarianism become robots, speak in whispers, and look over their shoulders, officially bombarded by speeches and slogans that are empty and devoid of meaning and logic. Human beings must conform to survive and thus become robots. Man becomes mentally coerced and intimidated. Humans then become herds of sheeple—indoctrinated by enthusiasm and happy expectations for promised change and then followed and replaced by feelings of terror and panic. Dr. Meerloo calls it “personal and political somnambulism” or sleepwalking. (p. 82)

In the March 7, 1968 episode of Dragnet, titled “The Big Departure,” teenagers are determined to start their own country on an island off the coast of California. To finance this new country, they are caught shoplifting, and the infamous Jack Webb gives them a lecture that seems fitting even today. http://www.itsworthashare.com/jack-webbs-the-big-departure-speech-still-holds-true-today/#isGACLTqKEAVq3Af.99

Every generation feels dissatisfied with what they possess even though they have opportunities and wealth that other nations can only dream of, but they expect the world to understand their misplaced dissatisfaction. Without a real poverty baseline or point of reference, they have no idea how well off they truly are when compared to other nations or other points in history. Nothing is ever perfect but usually each generation lives better than the previous one.

“You are taller, stronger, better educated, and you live longer than the last generation. And we don’t think that’s all together bad. You probably have never seen a quarantine sign on your neighbor’s door, diphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping cough. Probably none of your classmates have been crippled with polio,” said the Dragnet character Jack Webb.

Leftist academia is quick to point out that Americans are war mongers and thus immoral. But a lot of people around the world are “free today to make their own mistakes because of it” and to spew the venom of progressivism.

“You are in a hurry, you grew up on instant orange juice, flip a dial--instant entertainment, dial seven digits--instant communication, turn a key, push a pedal--instant transportation, flash a card--instant money, push a few buttons--solve a problem, but some problems you cannot get quick answers to no matter how much you want them.”

You want equality, social justice, instant gratification and reward without effort. How can you justify stealing from the rich and the middle class and giving to the welfare class as “entitlements” when they never made an effort to earn it, paid taxes into such a fund, nor were they entitled to? How can you hurt somebody or steal from someone who was never responsible for the wrongs of the past? Where is the social justice in that?

Jack Webb’s advice resonates for people with experience and common sense. “Don’t break things up in the name of progress. Don’t break a stick over someone’s head to get them to see the light. Be careful of his rights! Your property, your rights, and your person are not any better than his. And next time, you may be the one to get it. You knew a man who killed six million people and called it social improvement.”  A new country will never solve your problems-- just make the old one work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZo2hhvvlpw (Dragnet, Jack Webb’s the Big Departure speech)

A 1981 movie, My Dinner with Andre, explained reality through the lens of boredom, an “unconscious, self-perpetuating form of brainwashing created by a world totalitarian government based on money.” In this theory, the process of boredom makes a person fall asleep and a sleeping individual cannot say no.

“I met this Swedish physicist who told me that he no longer watches television, reads newspapers, completely cuts them out of his life, because he really does feel the wind leading into some kind of Orwellian nightmare and everything that you hear now contributes to turning you into a robot,” explained one of the characters.

New Yorkers, he said, are a classic example of people who want to leave their town but they can’t because “New York is the model for the new concentration camp that has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates are the guards and they have this pride, they built their own prison and they live in this state of schizophrenia where they are both guards and prisoners and, as a result may have lost the capacity and the ability, having been lobotomized, to leave or even see it as a prison.”  

He lamented that he and his friends should get out but “the problem is where to go because it seems quite obvious that the whole world is going in the same direction.”

He continued, “It’s quite possible that the 1960s represented the last burst of the human being before it was extinguished, and this is the beginning of the rest of the future. From now on, all there is going to be around are these robots, feeling nothing, thinking nothing. And there will be nobody left around to remind them that there was once a species called a human being with feelings and thoughts, and history and memory are now being erased, and soon nobody will really remember that life existed on the planet.”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68JLWyPxt7g

Our Lives and Freedoms Matter More Than Progressive Propaganda

The regime’s main stream media purposefully ignores the latest renewable energy news and events while bombarding us non-stop with gay issues, Christian bashing, manufactured “white privilege” stretching to the nude color of bras and Band-Aids, and “black lives matter” idiotic disruptions of restaurant patrons around the country, patrons that have nothing to do with the black on black crime in areas such as Chicago.

Mark Duchamp, Chairman of World Council for Nature, reported on the dangerous effects wind turbines in Australia have on animal farms located in the vicinity of wind farms. “Life near turbines is hell, according to a panel of south-west property owners who have battled against wind farms for the best part of a decade.”  http://wcfn.org/2015/04/02/wind-farms-deformities/

According to The Standard in Australia, farmers complained to a Portland panel that there is a need to shut down wind turbines at night across Australia, referring to their personal health and health impacts on their livestock. “The number of deformed lambs increased over the period of the wind farm operating near our property. The lambing rate in our merino stock decreased to a rate of 37 percent from 85 percent prior to the wind farms being established.” http://standards.net.au/story/2983411/turbine-neighbours-tell-of-their-hell/

I have written before about disruptions in ovulation, miscarriages, birth defects in mink farms and sleep issues with workers and ranchers who tended these mink farms in Denmark. http://ileanajohnson.com/2014/06/wind-turbines-and-negative-effects-on-animals/

The much praised and promoted smart meters that were supposed to form a “self-healing” and “resilient” smart grid turned out to be a nightmare for many, particularly for 5,800 residents of Stockton, California whose smart meters exploded simultaneously when a truck ran into a utility pole, causing a power surge. http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2015/03/30/stockton-smart-meters-explode-after-truck-causes-power-surge/

Josh Del Sol reported that the “catastrophic failure of these PG&E ‘smart’ meters – which are not approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) – not only damaged meter bases and other homeowner property, but left those 5,800 customers without power.” http://takebackyourpower.net/news/2015/04/01/hundreds-of-smart-meters-simultaneouly-explode

According to Take Back Your Power, following fires in Portland, Oregon, Lakeland, Florida, Arizona, and Ontario, the province of Saskatchewan ordered in July 2014 the removal of all 105,000 smart meters.  

Josh Del Sol wrote that, following another power surge in Palo Alto, California which ignited 80 smart meters, The Utility Reform Network (TURN) stated through its representative: “In the collective memory of TURN, we have not seen similar incidents with analog meters.”

I dedicated four chapters to smart meters in my bestselling book, U.N. Agenda 21: Environmental Piracy. The smart meter program is a massive data collection without the customer’s authorization or a judge’s warrant. Smart meters are expensive, have a short life-span when exposed to sunlight and heat, but the government gives generous subsidies for their installation. http://www.amazon.com/U-N-Agenda-21-Environmental-Piracy-ebook/dp/B009WC6JXO/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2_kin?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1427990151&sr=1-1&keywords=UN+Agenda+21%3A+Environmental+Piracy

The smart grid is part of “the internet of things,” a way to control your smart appliances, your energy consumption, shutting down your electricity at will by the utility company, it does not save electricity, on the contrary rates and bills have gone up despite of consumption remaining the same, monitoring your every activity in the home, hacking vulnerability, and health issues associated with involuntary exposure to round the clock pulsed microwave radiation.

On March 27, 2015, the United Kingdom issued its IoD Policy Report written by Dan Lewis and Jamie Kerr on smart meters deployment, “the largest UK government-run IT project in history and the most expensive and complex programme in the world,” with the title, “Not too clever: Will Smart Meters be the next Government IT disaster?” www.takebackyourpower.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Smart-meters-Not-too-clever-1-IoD.pdf

This smart grid plan is sold to the entire electrified planet under the guise of climate change, protecting the environment through green environmentalist action, and the wireless “convenience” and “modernization.” The reality is that collecting data in real time, non-stop, and selling it to third parties is more lucrative financially than the entire utility industry.

Michael Thompson, wrote that a new study, released by the Thomas Jefferson Institute and researched by economists at the Beacon Hill Institute in Boston, revealed that under the new stringent EPA regulations, Virginia will have to reduce CO2 levels 38 percent by 2030 at a cost of $1.7 billion, resulting in a loss of 38,000 jobs and electricity rate increases by 25 percent. “And the impact on our environment – the reduction of CO2 – will be almost negligible.” www.thomasjeffersoninst.org/files/3/EPAStudy_March 2015.pdf

A Max Planck Institute for Meteorology study by Bjorn Stevens found “that aerosol radiative forcing is less negative and more certain than is commonly believed.” http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI-D-14-00656.1

Bjorn Stevens found that “the magnitude of the cooling effect from anthropogenic (man-made) aerosol emission during the late 19^th and 20^th century was less than currently believed, which eliminates the support for the high-end negative estimates (such as those included in the latest assessment of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).”  http://www.cato.org/blog/you-ought-have-look-climate-sensitivity-environmental-worries-are-trending-downward

The implications are that carbon dioxide must be causing less global warming than climate models predict. “Going forward we should expect less warming from future greenhouse gas emissions than climate models are projecting,” according to Cato Institute climate scientists Pat Michaels and Chip Knappenberger, a potential “death blow to the global warming hysteria.”

Tom DeWeese, President of the American Policy Center (APC), one of the main driving forces behind the battle to stop Agenda 21, is reporting that anti-Agenda 21 legislation has been introduced in several state legislatures, including Missouri, Montana, Maine, and potentially Louisiana. Concerned citizens and legislators will meet with Tom DeWeese in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Louisiana, and Arizona.

The main stream media ignores, ridicules, or attacks the thorough research and tireless work of the American Policy Center (APC). Few citizens are even aware that there are direct ties between Agenda 21 and Common Core; Obamacare in our health care; gun control; illegal immigration; the manufactured global warming that is fleecing taxpayers worldwide; and “all the local ‘planning’ that is transforming our neighborhoods into ‘stack and pack’ high rise monsters; no cars, limited energy, no suburban housing, higher costs and shortages are all included in the future of Agenda 21 policy.”

In the progressive propaganda quest to push its gay agenda, the “black lives matter” race-baiting campaign, the cultural wars against Christian values and businesses, the fake “war on women,” the manufactured racial bigotry, and its welfare agenda of “social justice,” amnesty for illegal immigrants intent on changing the face of our “evil” capitalist society, the importance of our lives and freedoms as a society is marginalized and ignored.

Progressives do not realize in their monumental ignorance that they are supporting dark forces that will imprison them and eventually kill them for the very liberties they are falsely claiming that are under attack.
