"If the
freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep
to the slaughter." ~ George
Washington
The
irony of this article appearing in the English edition of Pravda (Russian
on-line newspaper) defies description. Why can a Russian newspaper print the
following yet the American media can't/won't see it?
American
Capitalism Gone With A Whimper
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent
into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a
passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century,
especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon
our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll
over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall
Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for
the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and
betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard
education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know
more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects
their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a
McDonalds burger or a Burger King burger than for their constitutional rights.
Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our
"democracy". Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of
thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most
part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top
protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and
flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or
another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the
"winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in
hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously
liberalized in
America
.
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed
in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money
printing has been a record setting, not just in
America
's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another
year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the
Weimar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.
These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came
the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by
the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, losses, and swindles of
hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look
little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans
have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate
them?
These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked
from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging
themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another.
They are also usurping the rights, duties, and powers of the American congress
(parliament). Again, congress has put up little more than a whimper to
their masters.
Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motors) president step down
from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land
of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the
self-given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private
companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his
minions.
So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up
with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of
unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and
will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given
the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world,
too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and
UK
's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently,
even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know
nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon
fools find out the folly of their own pride.
Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a
"free man" whimper.
So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled
Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the
American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries,
evaluate performance, and control how private companies give out pay raises and
bonuses? Senator Barney Frank, a social pervert basking in his
homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal
norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a
looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist
enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects
companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a
logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever
received a tax break or incentive.
The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully
at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of
the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value
left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his
chest, and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will
only snicker.
