Communism Explained for Useful Idiots

Communism cannot be described and incorporated into one definition because it is a philosophy, an economic system, a political doctrine, a highly directed and controlled lifestyle, a police state, a psychological conditioning, and an absolute indoctrination by any means necessary, primarily through fear, violence, and brute force.

The adherents of communism describe it as a philosophy which attempts to explain where humans came from, how they developed across the millennia, and their ultimate future in utopia.

The communists do not believe in God, they are atheists, although the Communist Party allows some churches to exist for the sole purpose of using the priests to spread Marxist indoctrination to their congregations, for traditional baptisms, church weddings, and burials. The police state does offer matrimonial services by a state clerk in the Marriage House set up by the Communist Party leadership of the area.

When the priests do not cooperate to indoctrinate their flock, they suffer the same disappearance fate as the non-compliant masses they call the proletariat.

The proletariat and professionals are equally poor and miserable, never smiling anywhere, looking down when walking or standing in crowds, working for pathetic wages as in “we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.”

The communists believe in keeping the masses poor enough and wanting enough that they comply with the oppression in order to survive – like a dog fed enough rations to keep it from dying and making that underfed dog beg every day for the said rations in exchange for good behavior.

The communist world is a world full of fake equality, abundance of material benefits for life, and total social justice although up close and personal, it is an outrageous injustice for all those who are not members of the Communist Party elite.

When out and about, the proletariat has to be prepared to be asked to show his/her papers on demand and the word “please” is never found in the authorities’ lexicon.

In communism, the proletariat, the farmers, and professionals are always guilty of whatever crime the Communist Party decides and manufactures until proven innocent which in a communist court of law never happens.

Communists don’t just offer free housing, child care, education, personal needs, free education, a chicken in every pot, a car in every garage, “all things to all men,” and a cure for all of world’s ills, but also it promises “a paradise on earth.” The problem is that it never delivers any of it.

My grandma had a very wise saying about all these communist promises of freebies, “never go with a large bag to an orchard on expectations of a bountiful crop because you might just leave empty-handed.”

Despite their rhetoric, communists do not like democracy, they prefer tyranny. Their euphemistic and charismatic language attempts to cover the fact that they are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Communists are not interested in building anything, in building a better nation, a better life, they are interested in wrecking and destroying everything, including history, who people are, and in remaking the globe and life in their desired image.

Their ultimate goal is world domination which explains why they prefer a new world order called globalism. And the push for global communism is coming from the U.N. and NGOs in Geneva. Some believe that communism, fascism, and tyranny do not really exist; it is the technocracy that we have to fear. But technocracy is the tool with which the global communists seek to control us.

The Fifth Column of the Nazis has been surpassed today by the Fifth Column of Global Communism. Western Civilization is in peril and the symbol of the free world, America, is also in peril. It is being attacked from within and without by the forces of the Fifth Column. And the indoctrinated generations, without any historical knowledge of communism or context, are willing to destroy their own country and future. They are the Useful Idiots as the Soviets termed their status.

“Atheistic communism denies every ideal we uphold” and uses terrorism, subversion, and relentless academic and mainstream media propaganda to trap everyone in a giant communist spider web under the guise of racism. Everything and everyone who disagrees with them and their platform is racist and thus immediately fired and “cancelled.”

There is a huge difference between what communists say communism is and what it actually is – a totalitarian form of socialism based on “duplicity, hypocrisy, and sham.”

Communists promise:

1.     Materialistic explanation of the origin of man

2.     Economic interpretation of history based on class struggle

3.     Abolition of capitalism which is seen as exploitation

4.     How to overthrow capitalism

5.     Moral code based on utility

6.     Abolition of all religions

7.     World-wide communist revolution

8.     World-wide communist society.

It is impossible to calculate the amount of human misery and death caused by the communist empires of the 20^th century.

The history of communism has shown that their proletariat are nothing but pawn, slave subjects to the Communist Party’s whims, with no civil rights, no justice, just gulags, where terror and torture are the order of the day.

The communist paradise is just a lie where injustice, poverty, and misery rule. War is never abolished as communists promise. People cannot revolt because they have no guns.

When they took power, communists confiscated guns, land, private property, money, homes, and personal possessions. They left the people penniless and dependent on a “benevolent” government to care for them. If the people refused to obey, they met a quick death, or long-term imprisonment, if they were lucky.

Communism, since the publication of the Communist Manifesto pamphlet in 1848, has not:

-         Held free elections

-         Had independent search for truth

-         Had freedom of the press

-         Had freedom of speech

-         Had freedom of religion

-         Had an independent judicial system (judges were always controlled by the state)

-         Had a legacy of love, just hatred

-         Had freedom, just coercion and the use of force, violence, and death.

The fanaticism of communism is so deeply rooted that they are still faithful to the original Soviet communism and atheism to this day - once a communist, always a communist.

American Marxism

American Marxism is not exactly Karl Marx’s revolutionary fight between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. It is the fight between corporate technocrats and Americans who love their country. The corporate technocrats are aided by corrupt Congressmen, bureaucrats in our own government, the woke military and police, the woke teachers, professors, and administrators, and the entire woke media. At the bottom of the Marxist wrung are the paid street activists and Useful idiots.

American Marxism has been branded and sold as Democrat Socialism and half of America bought the lie and the empty promises of “free stuff,” the Green New Deal, while the rest of the country gets lawlessness, protests, burning, and the looting of stores. Stealing $950 worth of merchandise no longer sends thieves to jail in the formerly beautiful city of San Francisco.

History has shown that law and order disappear prior to the complete societal takeover by tyrants. The activists and commissars present the takeover as a necessity to quell the lawlessness.

The Liberator wrote recently, “Activists are people who will do and say anything to further their cause. Their objective is the destruction of anything which gets in the way of their Marxist utopian dream. Useful Idiots are those who aren’t necessarily evil; they’ve just bought the Activists’ line of BS, hook, line, and sinker.”

The American Socialist Democrats jam the airwaves with their false rhetoric daily, presenting Marxist retread ideas and the promise that they “own the future.”

It would surprise some to learn that the Russian czars’ tyranny provoked a revolutionary movement from the 1820s on, but the first Russian Marxist group was not formed until 1883, the year when Karl Marx died. And this group was formed by a few Russian exiles in Switzerland. It was Lenin who founded the Russian Marxist party during 1900-1903 – the Bolsheviki. Lenin was a socialist who acquired his revolutionary streak from other Russian revolutionaries who hated the czars.

Democrat Socialists in America are well-off, many hold political office, live in mansions, own jets, yachts, and expensive cars. They are not the marginalized of society, starving to death like the Russians during the czars. They live a good life thanks to the capitalism they want to destroy for the rest of America who have worked hard and achieved the American dream. Power has corrupted them to the point of wanting to dictate to everyone how they should live and die.

It was Lenin who “picked up the doctrine of dialectical materialism from the Russian revolutionary N. G. Chernyshevskii, not from Marx. Lenin was sure that “Russia should be the first country to revolt, form socialism, and save the world.”

Democrat Socialists are sure that they will overturn American capitalism, establish socialism, save America from itself, enslave Americans to the will of a few oligarchs, and save the world from the manufactured global warming now turned into the profitable industry of climate change. The Activists on the payroll of the Democrat Socialists are busy paying Useful Idiots to do their bidding to achieve the goal of the Great Reset – from capitalist prosperity to socialist poverty.

According to Francis B. Randall, who wrote in 1963, the Russian Bolsheviks under Lenin were “a tiny, well-disciplined, conspiratorial, elite group in a vast backward mostly peasant country.” The American Democrat Socialists are a huge army of well-educated, well-indoctrinated, in your face group, composed of mostly young Activists and Useful Idiots.

Lenin was able to foment Bolsheviks to a proletarian revolution in 1917 “when the proletariat formed less than ten percent of the Russian population.” Nobody knows for sure in America how many Democrat-Socialist Activists and Useful Idiots on globalist payroll are fanned across the fifty states.

Judging by the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, when a man with senile impairment won the presidency, it is safe to say that these Democrat Socialists worked overtime to install their desired president. At that point, the takeover of our Constitutional Republic by American Marxism was dangerously close to completion.

Karl Marx concocted his ideology that was later implemented as Marxism-Socialism-Communism to establish an impossible classless society based on collectivism, collective thought, collective purpose, and equality of outcomes in which the all-mighty state replaced God and became a forced deity that had to be worshiped under the banner of the Communist Party. The communists stole the souls, lives, meaning, wealth, freedom, and ultimately humanity from millions of people who had to worship the dear leader.

Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn wrote in his Gulag Archipelago, “There always is this fallacious belief: It would not be the same here; here such things are impossible. Alas, all the evil of the twentieth century is possible everywhere on earth.”

For decades in Russia, people who held divergent opinions or tried to publicly resist the communists were arrested in creative ways so as not to start a panic – arrests were made during nighttime, daytime, at home, at work, on a trip, in front of the house, at school, at the theater during a play, at the movies, and anywhere else imaginable, depending on the desired effect.

As Solzhenitsyn wrote, “For several decades, political arrests were distinguished in our country precisely by the fact that people were arrested who were guilty of nothing and were therefore unprepared to put up any resistance whatsoever.”

A strange submissiveness hung like a wet blanket – “A submissive sheep is a find for a wolf.” The commies had quotas of arrests for no reason other than prove their total control. And the people were submissive because they did not know the “mechanics of epidemic arrests” or the quotas. “Universal innocence gave rise to the universal failure to act. Maybe they will not take you? Maybe it will all blow over? Resistance is futile, you will only make your situation worse, thought many who were arrested in Soviet Russia.”

Marxists, Bolsheviks, Stalinists, and Maoists from the former and current communist countries used class struggle and abject fear to divide and conquer their hapless citizens. The American Marxists use the manufactured critical race theory (CRT) across the 50 states to divide and conquer America.

Even the National Archives have turned “woke” to modify American history under the guise of invented “structural racism.” The Russian Bolsheviks were particularly adept at destroying Russian history, monuments, and documents, and “erasing” everything and everyone they deemed “offensive” to their ultimate goals and plans. The National Archives has gone woke and turned on American history - American Thinker

It seems that young generations of Americans, deaf and dumb to reality, and enticed by the words “free stuff” are not willing to learn from other people’s experience; they want to live through it personally because the Democrat Socialists promised in the media that their Socialism is going to give them freedoms they already have and improve the vast wealth that Americans already possess when compared to other nations. Without the activists and useful idiot bureaucrats in government and academia/education, who follow orders, none of the CRT would be possible.

 

                                                                                                                                                                                       

Not Just Facebook Jail, But Facebook Gulag for 30 Days

As a result of my recent article at Canada Free Press about the Facebook censorship of conservatives and the thousands of fact checkers assigned to each conservative account, I have been barred from going live on Facebook for 30 days. The "convenient" excuse was a photograph I shared three months ago!

The photograph in question depicted Jewish people being loaded onto trains destined for concentration camps during World War II, with the caption, I am paraphrasing, that they were told to load up peacefully because it was for their own good.

I have been assigned, as of today, July 24, 30-day Facebook "going live" silence for having posted a photograph, which is factual, THREE months ago on April 24.

The hired "fact-checkers" constantly use liberal publications as sources of "facts." These sources of facts are often wrong, partially true, biased, or purposefully misconstrued.

Facebook's "moderators," who possibly have never taken a real history lesson in their ignorant lives, found this photo in violation of Facebook's Orwellian community standards because it described how easily Jews were led to trains and to the gas chambers during World War II.

Apparently historical facts are offensive to the Facebook owners and to their hired "moderators," serving as 'fact-checkers" for $16 an hour. They often quote Snopes and USA Today as sources of fact.

Freedom of speech is guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution and offensive speech is protected but Facebook is the ultimate decision-maker on its social platform as to who gets to have free speech and who does not. It seems that conservatives lose every time their right to speak.

Orwell's "1984" has already arrived and the tech monopoly proves it every day.

The important question to be answered is, is Facebook a social platform, or is Facebook a publisher?

***********************

Post Scriptum - It seems that my 30-day Facebook suspension refers to being unable to "go live." I have no idea what that means since I have not gone live on Facebook and have no intention to do so at this moment.

Facebook conveniently proved my Canada Free Press article point that Facebook most certainly does suspend conservative users by suspending ME.

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.

Bumper Stickers and Cultural Marxism

I passed by a car yesterday on I-95, plastered with anti-Trump, anti-America bumper stickers and the COEXIST non-sense that the enemies of freedom laugh at while planning on stoning gays and infidels. The largest one was a RESIST sticker affixed in the middle of her rear window which, I am positive, reduced her road visibility behind considerably while driving.

I am still not sure exactly what these young useful idiots, she was a young black woman, are resisting. Usually the resisters I encounter in the D.C. area are Caucasian, suburban housewives, and students attending the many liberal universities in D.C. and Virginia, who are utterly confused as to which bathrooms to use and cannot tell which sex they are.  

I can venture an educated guess that these lefties are resisting the presidency of one successful businessman, non-Swamp dweller, Donald Trump who dared to defeat the leftist Hillary, their role model for socialism, crime, lies, abortion, failed multiculturalism, cultural Marxism, moral relativism, sexual deviancy, and totalitarianism.

They are also resisting the successful capitalism which provided them with all the smart devices and amenities they are trashing, the electric cars they drive, whose electricity, they think, materializes from the charger via the sun.

They are bent on replacing capitalism with the global communism of U.N. Agenda 2030, driven by the faux agenda of saving the earth from the manufactured global warming which the rest of us, who are sane and rational thinkers, call climate. These useful idiots consider themselves the global citizens who are going to rule the world their own way and silence and imprison those who disagree with them.

Liberals used to be normal people and scholars with a divergent point of view which they debated civilly with other individuals but now they’ve turned into irrational angry fascists who want to police your thoughts, ideas, and your life.

A young conservative said this recently in reference to the Yuengling beer boycott by the lefties who were unhappy with the CEO’s support of President Trump.

“It actually is a ‘shocker’ because most billionaires supported Hillary and Bernie...Under socialism their wealth would be redistributed amongst others. If they’re for the poor, they’d gladly live like middle class Americans and donate all their money to the cause.

Talk about irony at its finest! The entirety of Hollywood elite is liberal yet don’t practice what they preach. They get rich off making crappy movies and music, releasing their studio-made garbage, and are stealing from the unsuspecting poor to line the pocketbooks of these mediocre ‘celebrities.’

They also partake in the same tax breaks for which they chastise Trump. They’re all living in gated mansions in L.A. while the city has one of the highest homelessness rates in the country.

I’d rather be a deplorable than be a wealthy hypocrite. You’re fooling yourself if you think liberals are for the people and that Trump is the evil one. He’s far from perfect but everyone got a tax break this year (predominantly middle class) and are no longer penalized for not signing up for the ACA garbage insurance.

It’s easy for people to sit and judge situations they know absolutely nothing about, like foreign trade tariffs or any other economic principles that evaded you in high school or college. The truth is out there to be found, but not on social media, CNN, or Fox.

Bring on the Yuengling!”

 

Chernobyl

Wikipedia photo

The HBO mini-series Chernobyl is very intense. It is not just an expose of what has actually happened with the nuclear reactor in the former Soviet Union in 1986, but an indictment of the reckless communist rule that has brought to disaster many nations and their wonderful people who allowed themselves to be bullied into the false promises of collectivism and communism, the land of free milk and honey, of impossible equity and equality.

The proletariat suffered greatly at the hands of activists and apparatchiks with a low-grade education, useful idiots who helped implement totalitarian communism, deprivation, and mass starvation. The Marxists, Bolsheviks, Leninists, Stalinists, and Maoists had engineered and were complicit in the death of 100 million people.

In episode 2, a nuclear physicist is trying to explain to the communist secretary in charge of the city of Pripyat in northern Ukraine, that he needs to evacuate the town and he responds that there is no danger, the exposure is equal to one x-ray, a bold, fat, and deliberate lie to the public who was kept in the dark during the most essential time when they should have evacuated the residents of the town located three miles from the nuclear reactor which melted down, scattering radioactive graphite everywhere and blowing radioactive fumes and particles into the atmosphere, raining down on unsuspected locals. The wind carried radioactivity all over Germany, Nordic countries, and even to northern Romania.

Frustrated, the physicist tells him, I am sorry Comrade so and so but before you were a local party secretary, you worked in a shoe factory.

His answer, delivered with a distasteful smirk born of ignorance and self-importance, was, yes, but I am in charge here now, not you.

This is typical of the irresponsible comrades who ran the communist countries, all the Soviet satellites - low on education and intoxicated on power, not caring about the dangers that they put millions of people in every day with their Marxist-based crushing rule and ill-informed decisions.

A faithful Russian reader, wondered if the HBO series mentioned that the tragedy was in fact, bound to happen. According to Slava, “Years before the festive inauguration of the Chernobyl’s nuclear station, quite a few inspectors were warning that the construction was done below any standards, thanks to nearly all the contracts being gifted to the corrupt relatives or friends of local party bosses. The general opinion of those brave and honest experts was that, due to constant substitution of good building materials with cheap trash, the future catastrophe would be simply inevitable. Naturally, their written reports were at once gagged and hidden by the communist leadership – you just couldn’t criticize the Party’s projects, especially the top-secret atomic ones. The dreadful truth was declassified in the late nineties.”

In a similar vein, the current young and old American socialists are running our country from Congress openly. Radical socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comes to mind, a former bartender, with no political or economic knowledge of what it takes to run the largest economy on the planet, now makes fundamental decisions for the future of our country, for our people, via the Green New Deal, not just for 330 million of Americans today, but for generations to come.

P.S. I watched episode three last night and was brought to tears. It was not only the sacrifice innocent Russians had made willingly and unwillingly to save their fellow Russians and the horrible deaths so many suffered. 
It was also the reminder of my past life under the exact communist society, the drab surroundings, the police state everywhere, the lack of rights and self-determination, the bribery of medical personnel to do their jobs, and the sense of hopelessness that I personally had experienced in Romania; it all flooded back with gut-wrenching sobs.
I was never in Chernobyl, thank God, but I felt a sense of kinship with the suffering of fellow communist proletariat subjects who languished and died at the hands of useful idiot apparatchiks. They constantly watched, harassed, and arrested citizens with the all-mighty Security Police branch of oppression called KGB, just for asking questions to get to the truth.

Rule of Party of One

Photo credit: Wikipedia web

It is upsetting to find out that a principal asked a high school student to remove his baseball jersey at a game where everyone was encouraged to wear patriotic t-shirts.  His white jersey sported the American flag, the name Trump, and number 45. The student had to remove the shirt deemed as making questionable political statements and incite violence. It is hard to understand how our president’s name and number would incite violence. One may not agree with his policies but he is our president, governing over the best economy in decades.

But our country now is negatively transformed and divided by one party, the Democrats, who are busy inciting mob violence among their followers and even paying them to create violent mob situations in the public arena, wearing dark clothing and masks like the cowards that they are, harassing innocent Americans in restaurants, shooting Congressmen on a softball field, banging on the doors of the Supreme Court, blocking traffic in Portland while one policeman is watching, interrupting Senate hearings with chants of hatred, shoving elderly people and hurting peaceful protesters, carrying bats and injuring anyone who dares to wear a hat or t-shirt supporting our president or attending his rallies.

Democrats are masters at demonizing the opposition, accusing them of hate crimes, and calling them Nazis, bigots, xenophobes, islamophobes, racists, and many other descriptors of sheer hatred and intolerance. They are following in the footsteps of Soviet communists and Nikita Khrushchev’s “conquest without war” to fundamentally transform life around the globe.

Nothing could stand in the communists’ way. When Ukrainians refused to collectivize their agriculture, to give up their land and private property for the “greater good,” peasants were attacked with demeaning and dehumanizing words craftily chosen, “kulaks” and “enemies of the people.”

In the insane world of Bolshevism and communism, it was patriotic to kill the opposition. Stalin even “decreed the liquidation of the kulaks as a class.” During a very dark period of history, 1929-1933, the number of deaths rose to 10 million, with another 10 million placed in slave-labor camps in Siberia, Central Asia, and the Far North. (Conquest without War, Pocket Books Inc., 1961)

When Stalin tried to go further, asking permission to execute members of opposition groups within the Communist Party, the Politburo and the Central Committee refused. But it was only a temporary reprieve as the blood bath escalated.

After Sergei M. Kirov, a Politburo member, was killed by a young Party member, the annihilation of “class enemies” exploded. It is important to note that young party members were always the “useful idiots,” short on real knowledge, and long on ginned up ideological hatred and class animosity rhetoric.

Historians agree that Kirov’s murder was the signal to escalate the repression. Show trials wiped out all the Bolsheviks who led the Revolution, all the surviving members of Lenin’s Politburo. Communists ate their own useful idiots. They had dared to raise their voices against the carefully crafted cult of personality of Comrade Stalin and thus against the “teachings of Marx, Engels, and Lenin.”

Made-up, unfounded, and unproven accusations sent millions of useful idiot Russian communists and non-communists in front of the firing squad. It was a horrible way to get rid of the opposition.

It is for this reason that the recent Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings in the American Senate were hard to watch and daunting as the “show trial,” complete with screaming paid communist Democrats in the gallery, was based on allegations from 36 years ago, and not corroborated by any credible evidence or believable witnesses.

It was eerily reminiscent of a Soviet-style “show trial.” Instead of the person being executed after the Soviet “show trial” where the outcome was already predetermined, in the American “show trial” called hearings, the accused’s entire life and professional life were assassinated in a legal system in which the accused is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent.  

Even though the Senate is not an actual court, the guilty “accused,” who had to prove his innocence, was already sentenced in the blaring court of public opinion.  The precedent has been set. If you ever find yourself in a real court and in a similar situation, who is going to come to your defense when you are already deemed guilty in the court of public opinion?

If you don’t have freedom of speech and assembly, and are afraid for your life in a public place, are you really free, or are you living under the rule of the party of one and their paid violent mobs?

Academic Indoctrination into Communism and Pinkoism

"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."

 ~ Albert Einstein

The latest main stream media apoplectic vilification of our President focused 24/7 on his meeting with Putin in Helsinki, what he should have done and said to Putin. People with journalism degrees are suddenly experts at everything.  Although the left’s deranged rhetoric against our President caused irreparable damage to our country, it might be the least of our worries at the moment.

The growth of domestic communism thanks to decades of academic indoctrination, the emergence of the racist BLM, and of the black-clad Antifa, disguised and violent snowflakes, emboldened by the manufactured crisis of invented fascism on the right are at the top of the list.

Under the banner of #resist, a banner that has suddenly appeared around the globe thanks to non-profits funded by the likes of Soros, the pinkos came out of their basements to protest with lewd language and behavior the loss of their favorite Maoist would be president and the potential loss of their right to murder their unborn babies.

Following sad and incomprehensible acts of domestic terrorism by mentally disturbed lone individuals sympathizing with the left, engineered protests suddenly materialized around the country to confiscate all guns. Paid professional agitators seemed to lead the crowds waving professionally-made signs indicating prior preparation for the event.

Witness the crescendo of young public unrest stoked by Organizing for America (OFA), Obamas’ organization.

Paid unemployed useful idiots around the country are now protesting ICE, including blocking traffic in Miramar, Florida, on the hottest day possible, by lying on the melting asphalt. 

The demand to dismantle ICE allegedly protects illegal immigrant families who have a right to be in this country against American citizens’ wishes who want their borders protected by a wall, just like Mexico’s. The left is even defending MS-13 gang members and other criminal illegal border crossers who are now registered voters in San Francisco.

Gaining the votes of illegals seems to be one of the goals of the Democrat Party. These are voters easily swayed as they do not speak English, do not know the history of our country, and have no knowledge of our constitutional republic as they hail from socialist dictatorships.

The lack of law enforcement for the elites and the lack of Democrat Party decorum have made our country look like a banana republic.

Watching the most recent hearing of the infamous FBI special agent was one pathetic exercise in watching Democrats in Congress obstruct the proceedings unlike anything that has ever been seen before. The Democrat representatives were not there to find out the truth but to assist the FBI agent being questioned, even proclaiming that he should receive a Purple Heart.

The main stream media has become a bad reality joke yet half of the country gets their news from the numerous alphabet soup channels that are busy manufacturing them to fit the leftist agenda. They have given up any pretense that they are objective journalists.

Millennials and other young Americans get their news from late night comedians and from those who write the script for theirs shows.

Hollywood commies come out in droves to give their “expert” political opinions they’ve learned from the roles they played in various movies.

Last but not least on the societal indoctrination ladder into communism and fascism are university professors, public school teachers, and administrators, including kindergarten teachers.

The fascist academic pinkoism is quite insidious.

I stumbled across the highly liberal page of an English college professor, who had a large following of sycophants having an "atta girl" discussion over her daughter's photo, an early and devoted feminist pinko like herself, who was holding a sign painted with bar cells and a place for the head with the caption, "your child's photo here," advocating that illegal alien families apprehended at the border should not be separated.

Photos dating from 2014 during the Obama administration were showing minors kept in chicken wire enclosures. President Trump was blamed for this even though the previous administration carried out the practice.

Nobody in this vitriolic group living in their small academic bubble, insulated from reality, was affected by illegal immigration and probably never analyzed the situation clearly, being that they were driven mostly by feelings and not rational thought.

How many have ever welcomed minor or adult MS-13 gang members into their beautiful ante-bellum homes with lush green manicured lawns?

Were their state paychecks affected by unemployment caused by illegals overrunning our borders, or brought in on H-1B visas to take their jobs?

How many academics were affected by the trash, the violence, the theft, and their children infected by formerly eradicated diseases brought in by illegals and their coyotes who often abandoned them in the desert to the harsh elements?

How many illegals were raped during the arduous and long journey from Central America to the U.S. border? How many succumbed to the harsh elements?

None of the leftist sycophants asked the obvious question, what kind of parents would send their small children even toddlers, unaccompanied across many countries, to be used in the sex trade, abused, battered, raped, enslaved, and then discarded?

Describing Trump supporters with the vilest adjectives imaginable, professors and their sycophant friends and followers were laughing at conservatives, and how low their IQs must be.

In an academic setting, professors generally do not allow their children to play with legal aliens’ children because they are “different” and come from a different culture. Even though they are here legally and many are naturalized Americans, they are off the leftist plantation as proud, patriotic, and independent Americans who are working hard for the American dream.

Militant pinko feminists turn their backs on educated legal immigrants who love America and want to make it greater instead of sucking it dry of resources.

Spurred on by fake feminism and membership in the socialist Democrat Party, many academics have become defenders of the "downtrodden" from third world nations whose cultural “superiority” they admire from afar.  They embrace people they don't even know who are economic migrants and anti-America, desiring the generous welfare and jobs.

Hysterical rants, bullying, lewd and anti-social behavior are buying these crazed feminists minutes of fame behind a microphone in a public forum. They are threatened by smart, educated, classy immigrants who could possibly replace their cushy positions.

Leftists show generosity and grace to those illegals who take on menial jobs they will not touch. In their insane hypocrisy, they may feel good for their communist cause that is destroying our country.

Retired from academia, Pete G., a history professor, recounts how he was made to feel like an unwelcome outsider. “Besides the few fellow conservatives in my department, the only other faculty members who offered the hand of friendship were my foreign-born colleagues.”

Pinkoism and decades of successful communist indoctrination in academia has put our country at a crossroads – do we take the road to communist serfdom on the left, or do we keep the road to freedom and independence on the right?

An Existential Dilemma in the Land of Vlad Tepes

A heated debate is raging on in the eastern European country of Romania, a member of EU since 2007 but not of the Schengen zone.  Members of the Schengen zone can travel freely without a passport between the member states. The debate has divided the population along party lines, ideology, faith, experience, education, and even families in their extended relationships.

Romania is a paradise of spectacular landscapes, mountains, valleys, rivers, gorges, the famous Danube River, the Danube Delta with its rich fauna and flora, the Black Sea, and fertile lands that could grow so much wheat and corn, it was known as the bread basket of the Balkans. Many yet to be explored natural resources are hidden beneath the soil and rocks:  gold, coal, iron core, bauxite, manganese, lead, salt, silver, zinc, petroleum, and natural gas.

Temporarily forgotten are the economic problems that ail a crony capitalist system emerging from decades of communist dictatorial oppression. What is important at the moment is whether Bucharest will build the biggest mosque in Europe, in the middle of predominantly Orthodox and Catholic Christianity. It is an existential dilemma in the lands that Vlad Tepes, the infamous Dracula, and many voivodes and rulers after him, protected with guts, blood, and glory, from the constant invasions of the Ottoman Empire during five centuries.

Why would Bucharest need such a huge mosque? Who will pray there? The population is atheist, agnostic, or Christian. Dobrogea, in the eastern part of Romania, already has mosques to accommodate the Turks whose ancestors had settled in these parts of the Black Sea.

Can the country, struggling with many economic issues,  afford the influx of Middle Eastern men of fighting age who are sure to come as war “refugees?” Apparently the prime minster, who allegedly received a new knee in Turkey, was quoted as saying that Romania is prepared to receive refugees and has opened two camps with a capacity of 500 each in the western part of Romania, but so far, few “refugees” have petitioned for asylum. Asked if such refugees will be distributed by areas or by counties, Ponta answered that the said “refugees” are free to go wherever they wish, with only one interdiction, they cannot vote.  http://www.ziare.com/victor-ponta/premier/romania-pregatita-pentru-refugiati-ponta-sa-i-integram-sa-nu-ramana-pe-cheltuiala-statului-1385886

“The mayor of Arad, where unemployment is zero, told me that they need workers, especially those who are easy to train. Nothing happened what ‘the crusader Basescu’ said,” Ponta concluded. Basescu, the former president, vehemently opposed the Bucharest mosque and the “refugees” being settled in Romania.

Those who survived Ceausescu’s four-decade long dictatorship are divided. Some who are too old to work and fend for themselves, are nostalgic for his tyranny because they did not have to work very hard, did not have to be responsible for themselves. As long as comrade government provided meager rations and salaries, enough to survive on, they were satisfied.

The young, representing the “tyranny of the oppressed,” have no memory of Ceausescu’s regime and thus think that socialism and communism are great ideas – who would not want to be taken care of in the fashion of the western European Fabian socialist societies whose governments are bankrupt?

These two groups do not see any problem with building the largest mosques in Bucharest – the more the merrier. The fact that the two cultures, Islamic and western, are incompatible, does not seem to faze them.

A short list highlights the alleged corruption and theft affecting society and the economy profoundly. These events took place after Ceausescu was executed on Christmas 1989 when a period of chaos ensued. How long this period lasted is debatable but the results are still felt today.

-          Part of the national bank’s gold was allegedly taken out of the country.

-          Factories that may or may not have been productive were sold to foreign investors or destroyed and sold for scrap metal and the money was pocketed by those in power.

-          Diesel payments for ships sailing under Romanian flag were stopped, the ships were sold as scrap metal in the ports where they happened to be docked, and the money was pocketed by those governing and making such decisions.

-          Even though Romania had no debt, once some industrial and agricultural production was stopped, it was necessary to make loans from foreign banks in order to keep the country afloat, thus Romania began its indebtedness to the western bankers.

-          Oil, gas, and gold were given to foreign investors in exchange for substantial bribes to governing individuals.

-          Laws were passed that allowed foreigners with money to invest in “agriculture” to exploit the land and to harvest timber, gold, and frack for natural gas, desertifying large tracks of land in the process, and poisoning rivers with cyanide and other toxic chemicals; the said foreign investors were not required to clean up the ecological disaster they left behind.

-          As more and more taxes were imposed, the money were not put to good use, benefitting or building schools, hospitals, and orphanages; the money built thousands of churches and fattened the pockets of the governing individuals who used priests to preach to their flocks to vote in the most corrupt politicians who were skilled orators.

-          The alleged sabotage of Romanian investors who found efficient and non-toxic ways to explore for gold without destroying the natural habitat.

-          Out of control deforestation resulted in landslides and floods and the destruction of entire villages.

-          Alleged damage to tourism at the Black Sea due to fracking for natural gas in Dobrogea.

-          Creation of a class of EU-style welfare dependent citizens and parasites who watch mind-numbing telenovelas while their country is being destroyed.

-          Laws that allow politicians to purchase land for prices below real estate values in beautiful areas and to build villas on that land.

-          Exacerbating the decades-old divide between Hungarians, Swabians, and Romanians in Transylvania through corrupt political moves, keeping the population at odds.

-          Passing laws of immunity for crimes committed by those in power who undermined the country’s economy for personal and political gain.

-          Expropriating private land of those who opposed the land grab across the country.

-          The irrational decision to pay Holocaust reparations of 60 billion euros to Israel (even though 95 percent of Jews were alleged to have survived in Romania when they were sent to Transnistria, away from Hitler’s grab) at a time when former soldiers, workers, teachers, and other poor Romanians living on pensions of 300 euros per month had to take substantial EU-dictated austerity cuts; 20 billion euros were already paid even though Romania had to likely borrow the money.

-          The Penal Code was changed and expunged of the punishment for undermining the national economy.

-          Billions of euros were allegedly funneled to finance electoral campaigns of those in power who speak so eloquently and convincingly, promising to eradicate the blatant corruption in society but deliver nothing except more wealth and power to themselves.

Despite the bleak economic reality, the useful idiot voters who applaud and reelect to power the very same corrupt politicians who have relegated them to comfortable poverty, are busy on social media, discussing passionately the pros and cons of the mosque, while the economic and societal quagmire around them continues unabated. They seem to be deaf and ambivalent to the historic song of previous generations, “Wake up, Romanians, from the sleep of death.”

Whether some of the allegations can be proven and could stand up in a court of law remains to be seen. It is a fact that the majority of the population is still relatively poor even after twenty-five years since communism “fell” while a few politicians and oligarchs have become millionaires and billionaires many times over.  Crony capitalism has replaced one set of ruling elites with another. The only difference now is that the masses can idle their time with tele-entertainment on every channel and food is available. They can criticize the new regime, but nobody listens.
