The Nightmares of My Youth Have Come True

By

      My first writing many decades ago was for a school assignment. It was a comparison of Communist goals and how much they were beginning to take shape in our country. My teacher kept me after to inform me, physically, how wrong I was. But was I?

      On Jan. 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. of Florida read a list of 45 Communist goals into the Congressional Record. These are the pertinent ones we will use for today’s discussion.

• Capture one or both of the political parties in the U.S. [Note: In his book, "Reagan’s War," Peter Schweizer demonstrates the astonishing degree to which Communists and communist sympathizers have penetrated the Democratic Party.

• Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man. Old white racists.

• Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

• Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture."

• Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communists were told to "eliminate all historical sculpture from parks and buildings."  
• Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

• Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

• Support any Democratic Socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
• Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the Progressive line in textbooks.

• Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"

• Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

• Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV by presenting homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy."

• Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

• Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.

       Was I wrong? Not according to people who know what Socialist Communism really is. We spoke with a Russian immigrant, a woman in her eighties, Svetlana. She was heartbroken. The fear and horror was evident in her eyes as she talked about her experiences as a young person growing up in the USSR. “I left the Soviet Union to escape communism, socialism, Marxism — whatever you want to call it,” she recalled. “America was and still is the only place in the world you are truly free, and you are losing it. Now the evil is coming here; it is all around us, especially where I live in California. These people are ignorant, they have no historical knowledge, and they are very dangerous. The ideology is seductive to America’s naive youth and always ends up with people dead.”

      Many of us have been saying the same thing for a while now, warning the younger generations of the historical dangers of “Progressivism.”(a.k.a. Communist Socialism) These truths are well worth revisiting today in order to gain insights into the thinking and strategies of much of our so-called Progressive elite. You don’t have to look very hard to validate concerns that today’s Democratic Party is really a neo-Bolshevik party in disguise. The very troubling fact is that, with a couple of decades of indoctrination, there are so many followers of Progressivism in positions of power in our country today.

Find That Truth

by

      Why has so much journalism succumbed to propaganda? Why are censorship and distortion standard practice? Why is the MSM so often a mouthpiece of corporate power? Why do the New York Times and the Washington Post deceive their readers? Why is the truth being turned upside down and inside out by journalists? Why are these young journalists not taught to understand media agendas and to challenge the agenda driven fake objectivity? These are urgent questions that need to be examined in order to put upright America’s slanted media. The short answer is that they would be fired or forced out as so many have been. Tow the leftist corporate line or be gone.

      That being said, it’s clear that not every single thing we see in the mainstream western media is a lie, but it seems that much of it is or at least has corporate and political bias’ behind it, especially when it comes to major global events like war and terrorism and a president they do not want. America’s global propaganda operations include Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, along with Radio and TV Marti aimed at Cuba, and Middle East broadcasting networks. Moreover, the United States operates a vast network of news agencies that work, officially and unofficially, to promote the interests of the American ruling class all over the world. This is why we here, at The American Constitutionalist, constantly ask our followers to read news from outside the sphere of western influence in order to make a decision for yourselves, not blindly believe what you are being told.

      It’s unfortunate that our world has been plagued by political agendas, and that the infiltration of media has become out of control. Further, it’s disturbing to think that only a handful of corporations run and control mainstream media. The fact that the main source of information and so-called ‘truth’ about our world, and what’s happening on it for Americans, is a television screen with with news from corporations with multiple agendas who dictate government policy. In many cases, what western media says is the complete opposite of what other countries report. We’ve seen this recently concerning Russia and the United States and NATO, ISIS, Europe and the United States and we see it with many other topics as well such as the mysterious political assassinations that happen right here on our soil and elsewhere.

      The bottom line is that each of us is grossly ignorant about the world in which we live. Westerners have gross ignorance about how the world operates by the elites who seek to control our lives because most of us are too busy to get beyond five second soundbites. Nothing's wrong with that ignorance, but we are stupid if we believe that a politician or political party can produce a better life than that which is obtained through peaceable, voluntary exchange of true facts with our fellow man anywhere on earth. Soren Kierkegaard wrote, “Truth always rests with the minority … because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion.” The truth will not be denied. The truth always wins. To the extent that we align ourselves with it, we thrive. To the extent that we deny it, we suffer. To American Patriots, to our readers, we say - use your critical analytical thinking and find that truth.

Too Many Questions - The Epstein Assassination

By

       Zeno Potas

      With the dismissal with prejudice of the DNC lawsuit against WikiLeaks and the bombshell lawsuit filed two weeks ago outlining the connection of the DNC and Seth Rich’s assassination we have been waiting to hear of the mysterious death of Julian Assange but “the men in the shadows” struck elsewhere first.

      Following a mass document dump of more than 2,000 documents implicating many persons that have surrounded the Clintons’ and other high officials both here and abroad, Jeffrey Epstein, the New York financier accused of molesting dozens of underage girls, died early Saturday morning inside his Manhattan jail cell. The unsealed papers - which made international news on Friday - implicated a number of high-profile people in politics and finance in sex scandals. These high-profile are likely breathing a sigh of relief today as Mr. Epstein will no longer be able to turn on them.

      We have read reports for years, although we have not verified them, of an international sex trafficking ring for the rich and powerful. During the past presidential election stories surfaced about the involvement of the Clintons’. Although they denied the rumors it is curious that Bill Clinton himself visited Mr. Epstein’s “island” more than 25 times.

      How could Jeffrey Epstein have killed himself? The answer is – he couldn’t. First we examine the conditions of his captivity from a witness, who himself, was incarcerated in the exact facility. The following account is from a former inmate of the Metropolitan Correction Center in lower Manhattan. “There’s no way that man could have killed himself. I’ve done too much time in those units. It’s an impossibility. Between the floor and the ceiling is like eight or nine feet. There’s no way for you to connect to anything. You have sheets, but they’re paper level, not strong enough. He was 200 pounds — it would never happen. When you’re on suicide watch, they put you in this white smock, a straight jacket. They know a person cannot be injurious to themselves. The clothing they give you is a jump-in uniform. Everything is a dark brown color. Could he have done it from the bed? No sir. There’s a steel frame, but you can’t move it. There’s no light fixture. There’s no bars. They don’t give you enough in there that could successfully create an instrument of death.”

 

      An associate who had seen the disgraced financier on several occasions during his incarceration at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, also claims that the normally reserved Epstein seemed to be in good spirits. “There was no indication that he might try to take his own life. From what I saw, he was finally starting to adjust to prison. I think he was comforted by the rigidity of his new life,” the source told DailyMail.

      Jeffrey Epstein told prison guards and fellow inmates that he believed someone had tried to kill him in the weeks before his death, a source has revealed to DailyMail. The first attempt on his life was on July 24 when Epstein was rushed to hospital under police guard after he was discovered semi-conscious on the floor of his prison cell in the fetal position with injuries to his neck. Cameron Lindsay, a former warden, told NBC News, “The fact he was able to either commit suicide or somebody got to him – who knows what happened because so little information here – it is amazing.” The death comes two weeks after the 66-year-old was placed on suicide watch.

 

      Under the Metropolitan Correctional Center’s policy regarding inmates on suicide watch, prisoners on suicide watch are to be kept under “direct, continuous observation.” There would not have been a way for Epstein to commit suicide because while on suicide watch, one does not have clothes, bed sheets, or shoelaces. Inmates on suicide watch only have a smock and a hole in the ground for using the restroom. While under suicide watch the two MCC guards are supposed to make separate checks on prisoners every 30 minutes. However, this procedure wasn’t followed the night that Epstein died. Reports state that due to cell maintenance the constant surveillance was not happening and a mysterious camera malfunction has prevented any footage of Epstein’s alleged suicide from being captured. Epstein wouldn’t have been able to commit suicide if he truly was being watched continuously, which means foul play is likely involved. The decision to remove Epstein, who was possibly the most high-profile inmate in the federal jail system, from suicide watch has both baffled and outraged former wardens and veterans of the federal prison system alike. “For them to pull him off suicide watch is shocking,” stated Cameron Lindsay, a former warden. “For someone this high-profile, with these allegations and this many victims, who has had a suicide attempt in the last few weeks, you can take absolutely no chances. You leave him on suicide watch until he's out of there.”

      The reports from MSM claiming that Epstein hung himself which we can see are categorically FALSE. Even if Epstein didn’t commit suicide (because let’s be honest, nobody believes Epstein actually committed suicide), if he was being watched continuously like he was supposed to be, according to the prison protocol, how did it takes hours for guards to realize he was dead? Epstein’s body was cold to touch which means he had been dead for at least 4 hours, and if he had hung himself, one of the TWO cameras in his cell would have alerted the officers monitoring them. The reports being pushed through MSM are contradictory to that which the sources and the EMS recording states.

      Why did a mysterious camera malfunction prevented any footage of Epstein’s alleged suicide from being captured? How did Epstein die if guards were watching or checking on him continuously? If not, why? If they were watching and checking on him according to protocol and he did commit suicide, why had he been dead for hours? The answer has to be that this was an assassination but we will never know the truth because that is the way it works. The "men in the shadows" have struck again.

Reparations - A False Narrative

THE FIRST AMERICAN SLAVEHOLDER

    The very first legal slave owner in America was one Anthony Johnson—a black man. More specifically, Johnson was an Angolan who himself had been an indentured servant in the colony of Virginia before he became a tobacco planter himself. One of the African indentured servants who worked Johnson’s 300 acre plot of land was John Casor.

      When Casor had completed his seven year term of service to Johnson, he asked to be freed. Johnson refused. The latter did, however, agree to lend him out to a local white colonist, Robert Parker. Yet not long after having made this agreement Johnson had a change of heart and took Parker to court where he charged him with having robbed him of his “negro servant.”

     In 1655, a white court sided with the black African over a white man and, in addition to making him pay damages to Johnson, ordered Parker to return Casor to Johnson.
However, Johnson v Parker issued a dramatic legal change: While making his case, Johnson, in referring to Casor, insisted that, “Thee had ye Negro for his life.”
Casor became the first legally recognized slave in the American colonies. Johnson, then, was the first slave owner. And Casor did in fact spend the rest of his natural existence toiling for his master.

 

THE HISTORY OF BLACK SLAVE OWNERS

      Johnson was the first American slave owner, black or white. What is conveniently forgotten was that he was followed by many other black men and women in America to own slaves. There were thousands of black slave owners. During the antebellum period eight million whites lived in the South fewer than 325,000 owned slaves. What this means is that only 1.4 percent of the total white population consisted of slave owners, and only 4.8 percent of the white Southern population did so. In that same time period, there were 4.5 million blacks living in America, and 500,000 blacks in the South. Over half of these—261, 988—were freed men and many owned slaves. Large numbers of these free Blacks owned black slaves in numbers disproportionate to their representation in society. In the city of New Orleans alone, more than 3,000 blacks owned slaves. That is, 28 percent of the free black population consisted of slave holders. In 1830, the Census Bureau notes that free blacks owned more than 10,000 slaves in the states of Louisiana, Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina. The majority of urban black slave owners were women. Almost all of the black slave masters were mulattoes who not only enslaved their darker brethren, but refused to marry or even attend church with freed men of darker hue.

REPARATIONS FOR WHO?

      Over the past few decades there has been a call form the Left for reparations for African-Americans. It is the idea of a future monetary bonanza for the poor in the inner-cities if they just continue to vote Democrat. It is one of their tactics for keeping this community solidly in their tally count. It is attempted bribery. When one looks honestly at the historical facts of slavery in this country a very different picture appears. As economist and author Thomas Sowell says: "More whites were brought as slaves to North Africa than blacks brought as slaves to the United States or to the 13 colonies from which it was formed. White slaves were still being bought and sold in the Ottoman Empire, decades after blacks were freed in the United States."

      The narrative for reparations is false and purposely omits the historical facts stated above. The Progressive Left does not accept history. Facts, fair interpretations, and common sense limit their choices on governing. They are progressive and what happened in the past has no bearing on their narrative vision of today and the future. Without facts there can be no lies and a lie or omission can become (false) truth.
