A Naturalized Citizen's View of Today's America

by

       Phillip Todd*

      Over forty years ago, during my high school years, my father and I had a conversation. He was an avid Republican, even though he lived on the other side of the world. Right before I prepared to leave my country for the U.S., he gave me some fatherly advice. He explained why the Democrat Party was bad for America and bad for the world. He advised me that if I ever became a US citizen, I should never vote for Democrats. After all these years, I now understand what he meant by those words of wisdom.

      For over twenty years, I did not vote simply because I was not a U.S. citizen. Even after I became one it was not until the election of President Trump that exposed just how corrupt the Democrats and every government institution were that I became politically active. After the election was over, Clinton and her campaign staff were stunned and angry. They blamed everyone and everything for her loss, except the very person who lost the election. For the past three years, these phony investigations cost American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. They were fully aware that it was just a hoax and a fraud. In the process, they hurt the country and the American people. President Trump's opponents mostly are from the camp of Hillary Clinton– and Barack Obama–supporters. Both Obama and Clinton were students of Saul Alinsky. Alinsky was a self-professed radical, obsessed with Leftist ideology. Moreover, the Left, rooted in Marxism, is atheistic and steeped in multicultural moral relativism. Hence, the pro-American nationalism of President Trump — his campaign slogan of "Make America Great Again" — infuriates the Left, which flatters itself as being internationalist or "cosmopolitan" as well as the trend of the future.

       This Democrat Party no longer hides its agenda. They now openly encourage millions of illegal aliens to violate our laws and break into our country, and they want to sign them up for free welfare, free health care, and free education — and the right to vote with the help of their ace in the hole, the "Fake News" media. This media covered-up the fact that the Democrats accepted foreign help to influence outcome of the 2018 elections. The plan is to grow the electorate by millions of voters by use of illegal immigration and is a top priority of liberal billionaire and top Democratic party supporter, George Soros. In a May 2014 board meeting of the Open Society Foundations, a liberal grant making group founded by Soros the discussion was to enlarge the U.S. electorate by 10 million voters by 2018, according to leaked documents. The report calling for “Full political, economic, and civic participation of immigrants and communities of color by dismantling the barriers…. A 220-page guide detailing the plan was among more than 2,500 hacked Soros documents released by DC Leaks.

      What we are watching a historic moment in which a once-great American political party is transformed into an anti-American engine of radical change. Since the election of Donald Trump, the Left has lost its collective mind. Leftists have gone into a stage of sheer lunacy and have not returned from it. It seems the entire liberal world has combined its efforts to take Trump out at all cost. In this devilish process, the left has exposed its true nature.

      What is the Democrat Party's mantra? It is basically "We're not Trump." Hillary Clinton tried it, and it did not work well. Let's just make up a story and impeach him. Just do everything we can to disrupt the conscience of the nation. The Democrats have thrown all their eggs into the "Hate Trump" basket, but that doesn't seem to be helping their poll numbers. It is obvious that the Democrat Party is at war with America, and Democrats are not interested in stopping any time soon. The radical left enjoys controlling people from cradle to grave. They want Socialism. They want to be in charge for eternity. The leftist agenda recommends denial of personal responsibility, encourages self-pity and fosters government reliance, promotes sexual indulgence, rationalizes violence, excuses financial obligation, justifies theft, ignores rudeness, prescribes complaining and blaming, promotes sharia law, denigrates the sanctity of marriage and the family, legalizes all abortion, defies religious and social tradition, declares inequality unjust, and rebels against the duties of citizenship and much more.

      For decades, the Democrat Party has shown by both words and deeds that they despise the U.S. Constitution while they bend over backward to embrace Islamists, illegal aliens, and anyone who hates America and feels entitled. The left is interested only in power and nothing else — even if it means sacrificing our safety and security. In short, America is on a precarious path to lose its freedom and our Constitution we have cherished for over 200 years. We must accept that the current Democrat Party is no longer the party of Kennedy. It has become the greatest threat to our national security and our survival as a nation. In 2020, every Democratic candidate will be faced with the challenge of defending a national party that is now the Democratic-Socialist Party.

The Slow Murder of Julian Assange

by

       Phillip Todd

      Julian Assange is a journalist who exposed nothing but lies and deception, and for that, he is not a free man. He sits in a brutal prison in England because the U.S. deep state wants him sent to the United States to be punished for revealing the truth about its sordid, dark-side practices. Assange released the truth about some of the practices of the deep state, such as the killing of innocent people and illegal surveillance schemes to spy on Americans. For this, those in the shadows are keeping him in solitary confinement and drugging his consciousnesses in order to destroy his mind so that he will never be what he was. Never to be a threat to them again. They are sending a message to all journalists worldwide – expose elitist plans and suffer the consequences.

      Why should anyone who publishes the truth about the deep state be condemned or punished? Why shouldn’t the condemnation and punishment instead be leveled at the entity that engages in sordid, dark-side practices and the intentional utterance of lies and deception. This is now the type of world we live in. A world where activists and journalists like Assange are silenced, a world where alternative independent media are extremely censored and demonetized. They simply published records that revealed the truth about the deep state. That’s why the deep state has condemned and vilified them as bad people, even as traitors — because they revealed the truth.

      For a long time Julian Assange was allowed no visitors, and now, it’s quite clear why. Those who have had access to visits have made it quite clear that he is in very poor health. The WikiLeaks founder could die in prison without urgent medical care, according to an open letter signed by more than 60 doctors. The medics, from the UK, Australia, Europe and Sri Lanka express “serious concerns” about 48-year-old Assange’s tness to stand trial in the letter addressed to Priti Patel, the home secretary.

           

      For the first time, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Nils Melzer, speaks in detail about the explosive findings of his investigation into the case of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. The treatment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is facing the threat of extradition from Britain to the US on espionage charges, is putting his life "at risk", an independent UN rights expert said Friday. "Unless the UK urgently changes course and alleviates his inhumane situation, Mr. Assange's continued exposure to arbitrariness and abuse may soon end up costing his life," the UN special rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, Nils Melzer, said in a statement. Melzer, who visited the 48-year-old Australian whistleblower in a London prison has previously warned he was being subjected to drawnout "psychological torture. From a medical point of view, on the evidence currently available, we have serious concerns about Mr Assange’s fitness to stand trial. Most importantly, it is our opinion that Mr Assange requires urgent expert medical assessment of both his physical and psychological state of health. Any medical treatment indicated should be administered in a properly equipped and expertly staffed university teaching hospital (tertiary care). Were such urgent assessment and treatment not to take place, we have real concerns, on the evidence currently available, that Mr Assange could die in prison. The medical situation is thereby urgent. There is no time to lose.” The facts are that more than 60 doctors have expressed their concern that Julian Assange may die in prison, and that he is in need of urgent care.

      "Assange continues to be detained under oppressive conditions of isolation and surveillance, not justified by his detention status," he said. His statement pointed out that Assange had completed his prison sentence for violating his British bail terms in 2012 and was now "being held exclusively in relation to the pending extradition request from the United States." Assange is facing the extradition request by the US over charges he violated the US Espionage Act by publishing a huge cache of military and diplomatic files in 2010. "While the US Government prosecutes Mr. Assange for publishing information about serious human rights violations, including torture and murder, the officials responsible for these crimes continue to enjoy impunity," Melzer said.

      "Following my visit to Assange, they took six months to answer me – in a single-page letter, which was primarily limited to rejecting all accusations of torture and all inconsistencies in the legal proceedings. If you’re going to play games like that, then what’s the point of my mandate? I am the Special Rapporteur on Torture for the United Nations. I have a mandate to ask clear questions and to demand answers. What is the legal basis for denying someone their fundamental right to defend themselves? Why is a man who is neither dangerous nor violent held in solitary confinement for several months when UN standards legally prohibit solitary confinement for periods extending beyond 15 days? None of these UN member states launched an investigation, nor did they answer my questions or even demonstrate an interest in dialogue."

      Retired USAF lieutenant colonel Karen Kwiatkowski writes in an article posted at Lew Rockwell’s website that Julian Assange is receiving the same treatment as suspected terrorists while in captivity at “Her Majesty’s Prison Service” at Belmarsh, stating that he’s being tortured with psychotropic drugs. “This constant abuse of state power has triggered serious stress and anxiety in Assange and has resulted in measurable cognitive and neurological harm. I visited Assange in his cell in London together with two experienced, widely respected doctors who are specialized in the forensic and psychological examination of torture victims. The diagnosis arrived at by the two doctors was clear: Julian Assange displays the typical symptoms of psychological torture. If he doesn’t receive protection soon, a rapid deterioration of his health is likely, and death could be one outcome."

      A constitutional democracy would probably investigate Chelsea Manning for violating official secrecy because she passed the video along to Assange. But it certainly wouldn’t go after Assange, because he published the video in the public interest, consistent with the practices of classic investigative journalism. More than anything, though, a constitutional democracy would investigate and punish the war criminals. These soldiers belong behind bars. But no criminal investigation was launched into a single one of them. Instead, the man who informed the public is locked away in pre-extradition detention in London and is facing a possible sentence in the U.S. of up to 175 years in prison. That is a completely absurd sentence. By comparison: The main war criminals in the Yugoslavia tribunal received sentences of 45 years. One-hundred-seventy-five years in prison in conditions that have been found to be inhumane by the UN Special Rapporteur and by Amnesty International. But the really horrifying thing about this case is the lawlessness that has developed: The powerful can kill without fear of punishment and journalism is transformed into espionage. It is becoming a crime to tell the truth. Their message is - Tell the truth about the deep state and they will give you a slow psychological death, just like Julian Assange.

Communist Inspired Socialists Fight for Control of the Democratic Party

by

       Zeno Potas

       Many of us still believed in the words of President John F. Kennedy when he challenged us to “ask not what your country can do for you, but rather what you can do for your country.” My how the Democratic party has changed. Today it’s members only ask, “how much can I get for free from the government? What government entitlements will they hand out to me next?” The progressives are interested in only one thing – power, so they will offer you anything that they think will buy your vote whether it’s really good for us or in the interests of our country, or not. Why? For only one reason, to preserve their place in political office. Their price for this? Just give up a little more of your freedom and privacy and they will take care of everything. Some of the loudest politicians screaming for President Trump’s impeachment are those who had nothing when they came into office, but after twenty or so years on a congressional salary they now live in multi-million dollar

mansions. (How the elite get filthy rich under Socialism is a topic for future discussion.)

      Socialism is one of those theories that tries to cloak itself in righteousness. Why wouldn’t we want to provide universal services for everyone? Isn’t it the “right” of everyone to receive everything in equal proportion? Appreciation, courage, and bravery when standing up for your country has been replaced with lessons about the struggles of transgender individuals. Nowadays standing up and demanding the right to use whatever bathroom one wants has become ‘heroic’ and the new battle cry for the social engineers.

      How did Communist Socialism become the driving force in the Democratic party? Since the 1960s, the media, Hollywood and the education system have presented a warped view of America along with a sugarcoated version of Socialism so we should not be

surprised when we see so many young people (over 50% support Socialism) are fooled by the false promises of re-distributive economics. That is a result of their ignorance and indoctrination during their school years, (government schools as the President has called them) from kindergarten through college. 

      Businessman Henry Kones grew up in the 1980s and has noticed the Socialist/Progressive movement chip away at many aspects of American life, including traditional values, work ethic, and the family unit. He said generationally it’s the millennials that lean toward Socialism, partly because they “don’t know what it’s like to … pull yourself up by your bootstraps. And that’s where the disconnect comes in,” Kones said. “I am an employer, so I know. They come out of universities and they have zero job skills.”

 

      This movement towards Socialism is causing us to live in a society where the normal people who make America work put up with disrespect on a daily basis while being told that common sense is “triggering” college students who are going to $40,000 a year schools. Where basic respect for other human beings with opposing views have been tossed in the garbage. Where NFL players disrespect the flag of the country that made them rich. Where pampered Hollywood stars lecture us about guns while they’re protected by armed security. Where the combined demands of relatively small minority interests trample the rights of wide majorities, frustrating millions whose forebears built this nation and made it work with broadly accepted rules of moral and ethical conduct. Where Liberals in the mainstream media lie to our faces on a daily basis and think we’re stupid enough to believe they don’t have a bias. Where trespasses by Progressives go unaccounted and unpunished while (many) silly stupidities of those right of center are magnified beyond all reason and where politicians who work for us are screaming WE are what’s wrong with America.

       What’s happening now is a full-scale Progressive attack on all the principles underlying the freedoms so many have enjoyed. Are they screaming so loudly because they feel threatened by what a potential ‘housecleaning’ of our government might reveal? Considering what appears to be a government that is awash in corruption and that the America that I love and grew up in no longer exists. Constitutional Patriots must stand firm and act for unless we do something about it America will only be found in the documents our Founders created that rest inside climate-controlled mounts within the National Archives.

JFK Would Not Recognize His Party Today

by

       M. Richard Maxson

“Today’s Democratic Party — the home of Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Al Gore — wouldn’t give the time of day to a candidate like JFK.”

                                                            - Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby

      The reason is clear. The Democratic party of our fathers and grand-fathers no longer exists. It is evident by the number of declared Socialists in the party who are running for president. In our fathers time to say you were a Socialist or Communist would have meant the end of your life as you knew it. Your job, your friends, your family members would shun you and probably report you to government officials as an anti-American. Today, we are discussing Communist goal #15 as read into the Congressional record on Jan. 10, 1963 - “Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States,” seems to be inevitable. The latest poll of Democrats stated that 47% of all party members wanting Socialist Communism to replace our capitalistic form of government.

      Many saw this coming quite a long time ago. President Ronald Reagan stated: "I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The party left me." Actor and former president of the National Rifle Association Charlton Heston, who called himself a "Kennedy Democrat," but switched to the Republican Party after the 1960s.

      Although the Democrats still claim him as one of their greatest, privately his view of America does not fit their embrace of Socialism. Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby makes the case: “As Democrats maneuvering for the 2016 presidential race, there isn’t one who would think of disparaging John F. Kennedy’s stature as a Democratic Party hero. Yet it’s a pretty safe bet that none would dream of running on Kennedy’s approach to government or embrace his political beliefs.”

       Just as Presidents Reagan and Trump, the 35th president was an ardent tax-cutter who championed across-the-board, top-to-bottom reductions in personal and corporate tax rates. ‘I do not believe that Washington should do for the people what they can do for themselves through local and private effort,’ Kennedy bluntly avowed during the 1960 campaign.” Beginning with his inaugural address and the memorable peroration: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." That oft-repeated phrase was replaced in later textbooks by a recitation of

Kennedy's failures as president and what the government ought to do for us. That was done by fulfilling Communist goal #17, “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 party line in textbooks.”

      President Kennedy also had a strong view on impeachment which is why, although the Democrats have not invoked any quotes from him during this process. They love to bathe in his aura, but they disagree with his ideals. In his book “Profiles In Courage” he praised courageous senator Edmund Gibson Ross of Kansas, unexpectedly responsible for the deciding vote that acquitted President Andrew Johnson in his Senate impeachment trial in 1868. Kennedy proclaimed Ross a hero who saved the presidency from congressional overreach. According President Kennedy, Ross “may well have preserved for ourselves and posterity constitutional government in the United States” by performing “what one historian has called ‘the most heroic act in American history, incomparably more difficult than any deed of valor upon the field of battle.”

      The parallels to 1865 are uncanny. Of the Senate taking up the articles against Johnson, Kennedy wrote that “as the trial progressed, it became increasingly apparent that the impatient opposition did not intend to give the president a fair trial on the formal issues upon which the impeachment was drawn, but intended instead to depose him from the White House on any grounds, real or imagined, for refusing to accept their policies.”

Years of certainty on the part of Democrats that Robert Mueller’s investigation would produce a rationale to impeach Trump reflects perfectly their intent “to depose him from the White House on any grounds, real or imagined” – and Trump’s dogged conservatism points to their motive being Trump’s “refusing to accept their policies.”

      Kennedy went on: “Telling evidence in the president’s favor was arbitrarily excluded”; he could have been talking about Democrats opposing hearing from Hunter and Joe Biden in the Senate trial. “Prejudgment on the part of most senators was brazenly announced” Treasury Secretary William Pitt Fessenden of Mainesaid, “The country has so bad an opinion of the president, which he fully deserves, that it expects his condemnation. The question to be decided is not whether Andrew Johnson is a proper person to fill the presidential office, nor whether it is fit that he should remain in it.” He warned of a future danger to the country, “Once set, the example of impeaching a president for what, when the excitement of the House shall have subsided, will be regarded as insufficient cause, no future president will be safe who happens to differ with a majority of the House and two-thirds of the Senate on any measure deemed by them important. What then becomes of the checks and balances of the Constitution so carefully devised and so vital to its perpetuity? They are all gone.”

      Sen. Joseph Smith Fowler of Tennessee, “at first thought the president impeachable,” according to JFK. “But the former Nashville professor was horrified by the mad passion of the House in rushing through the impeachment resolution by evidence against Johnson ‘based on falsehood’” – the comparison to Trump again being remarkable, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rushing the impeachment inquiry over the course of only 48 days late last year so as to get a House floor vote to impeach done before Christmas.

      A recent poll showed that almost 100% of all coverage of the impeachment was anti-Trump to which we again refer to the Communist goals for America; #20 - Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions and #21 - Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures. 

 

      These are four of the forty-five Communist goals put into the Congressional record Goals on January 10, 1963 and demonstrate clearly how America has been and is being subverted and torn apart from the inside out. We have a plague on our nation. We are infected by the world-wide elite’s quest for Democratic Corporate Socialism. In America they have wrapped it up in red, white, and blue and their salesman is the 21^st century Democrat (Socialist) party. JFK would be appalled.
