How the Left is Accomplishing it's Goals

 by

        M. Richard Maxson

     The Left's vision of the world is the implicit assumption that high-minded third parties like themselves can make better decisions for other people than those people can make for themselves. They are the powerful elite believe that they have wisdom superior to the masses and that they've been ordained to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us. Why they would imagine that they know what is best for people who are far poorer than they are, and with far fewer options, is one of the many mysteries of our world. Such a practice differs only in degree, but not kind, from slavery. 

      What are their core beliefs today and how do they promote their goals? 

• They start by  twisting the meaning of words such as liberal, compassion, justice and many others into their opposites with  doublespeak. In the US language has been appropriated in order to engineer a seismic shift in attitudes, concealed by a mind-bending reversal of the meaning of words. It is this hijacking of language and thought itself that has done so much to destroy any common understanding of the political ‘center ground’, the lethal confusion that has so unfortunately polarized political debate  that has precious little to do with reality.

•  They have hijacked the center-ground of politics. Left-wing ideology is now falsely said to constitute the moderate center-ground, while the true center-ground is now vilified as ‘the right’. Asserting that left-wing ideology is really ‘centrist’, the left has succeeded in presenting extremist, antisocial, and the belief that a society's political and social institutions are so bad that they should be destroyed. Their ideas are stated as unarguably good, and all dissent is promptly vilified as ‘extreme’

•   The onslaught of ‘political correctness’ – where concepts are turned into their polar opposite in order to give culprits a free pass if they belong to certain groups designated by the left as ‘victims’. They are thus deemed to be incapable of doing anything wrong, while groups designated as ‘oppressors’ can do no right.

• The use of the term "racist" to silence debate. An example of this is why do they afford next-to-no news coverage of Arab atrocities?  It's because there is a double standard. It is their belief that the Third World does not subscribe to the same ethical beliefs as the West about the value of human life. The West therefore was not entitled to judge any mass killings in the Third World by its own standards. For them that is racist. To the contrary, these views they have expressed amounted to pure racism. They are in effect saying that citizens of a Third World country are not entitled to the same assumptions of human rights, life, and liberty as those in the developed world.

 This twisted thinking is what now passes for ‘Progressive’ thinking in Britain and America. The Progressives actually abandon the oppressed of the world to their fate, bemoaning their plight while sanctimoniously condemning ‘the right’ for its heartlessness! American Progressives see people in a role much like that of sheep, and see themselves as their shepherds.  The Progressive vision  is not just a vision of the world, it is also a vision of themselves -- a very flattering vision of people trying to save the planet, rescue the exploited, create "social justice" and otherwise be on the side of God and the angels. This is an exalting vision that few are ready to give up. It is a chilling vision for those of us who value freedom and live in reality.

How to Destroy Democracy

 Guest Column

      America's president has torn his land into a thousand pieces. The propaganda media machine covers Obama's trail of blood and shows the president in a good way without a word of dissent. During his time in office there has been a boiling pot in America that began with the Tea Party in 2010 that took back the House of Representatives. The original Tea Party of 1773 protested the British government's high taxes on the American colonies. The modern Tea Party was formed when citizens began to realize that both of the major political parties were drifting away from what the country had been founded upon, the Constitution, but their success was short lived by Obama's illegal interference. It was proven that Obama's regime openly went after Tea Party leaders and other members with the IRS whose power it is to impose higher taxes and force audits upon them. Now things began to be clear as to why the conservative movement seemed powerless.

     America was de-Christianized in the second half of the 20th century by court orders, over the vehement objections of a huge majority of a country that was overwhelmingly Christian. In addition, these American Christian conservatives feel their voice ignored by the 2 major political powers in America: the Democrats and the Republicans. And though America's elite may be found at the epicenter of anti-conservatism and anti-traditionalism, the American people have never been more alienated or more divided culturally, socially and morally. They feel betrayed and helpless in a land turned upside down and conforming to the beat of Democratic Socialism. We are two countries now.

     Slowly they began to notice President Vladimir Putin's actions and deemed him worthy of admiration and respect by all conservatives. While much of American and Western media dismiss him as an authoritarian and reactionary, a throwback, Putin may be seeing the future with more clarity than Americans still caught up in a Cold War mentality. Putin asserts, the new immorality has been imposed undemocratically. The "destruction of traditional values" in these countries, he said, comes "from the top" and is "inherently undemocratic because it is based on abstract ideas and runs counter to the will of the majority of people." Peoples all over the world, claims Putin, are supporting Russia's "defense of traditional values" against a "so-called tolerance" that is "genderless and infertile." While his stance as a defender of traditional values has drawn the mockery of Western media and cultural elites, Putin is not wrong in saying that he can speak for much of mankind.

       "There are more and more people in the world who support our position on defending traditional values that have made up the spiritual and moral foundation of civilization in every nation for thousands of years: the values of traditional families, real human life, including religious life, not just material existence but also spirituality, the values of humanism and global diversity."

      Hinting at the U.S., Putin said that today, "many nations are revising their moral values and ethical norms, eroding ethnic traditions and differences between peoples and cultures." "Society is now required not only to recognize everyone's right to the freedom of consciousness, political views and privacy, but also to accept without question the equality of good and evil, strange as it seems, concepts that are opposite in meaning," Putin said. He said such "destruction of traditional values from above" produces problems for society and essentially is "anti-democratic."

      As the world's attention turns to Russia this February what you will hear from the controlled western press is the ridiculous assumption that Russia has made homosexuality illegal. THAT IS AN OUT RIGHT LIE! The widely-criticized law bans propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among the minors. However, Maksakova pointed out, no one hears that it is only aimed at protecting children, “everyone reads only the first line” of the law and is not interested in “what exactly we meant.”

      Putin and other politicians have defended the June propaganda law as a protection of child rights, but critics believe (mistakenly) that the law discriminates against sexual minorities. The law specifically refers only to "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations." "We aren't banning anything, we aren't rounding up anyone, we have no criminal punishment for such relations unlike many other countries," he said. "One can feel relaxed and at ease, but please leave the children in peace." "We have no ban on nontraditional sexual relations. We have a ban on propaganda of homosexuality and pedophilia, I want to underline that, on propaganda among minors," he said.

      What exactly does this mean? It means no parades or demonstrations of  a sexual nature with the intent of glorifying or justifying a minority life-style. No "in your face, like it or else" taunting and definitely not in front of minors. They believe that elevating the minority above the majority destroys democracy and leads to Socialist Communism and you know what?......they're right!

     

The Next President Has Already Been Chosen

by                  

       George Sontag


     The wait is over. The decision has been made. The next president of these Democratic Socialist States of America has been anointed by the elitists who control this country from outside the former USA. ‘Some of the biggest names and deepest pockets of the Clinton and Obama eras are involved in various digital efforts, including billionaire financier George Soros, Clinton insider Harold Ickes, Google's Eric Schmidt and former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina. ... The super PAC intends to deploy the new database as early as January to mobilize supporters.


Soros donates big bucks, joins Ready for Hillary national finance council


      Billionaire investor and hedge fund titan George Soros is backing an effort to lure Hillary Clinton into a 2016 White House bid. Soros signed on to be a co-chair for Ready for Hillary, a super PAC trying to trump up support for a presidential run by Clinton. “We are proud to welcome George Soros as one of the co-chairs of @ReadyForHillary’s national finance council,” the organization tweeted Thursday afternoon. Soros’ political director, Michael Vachon, said in a statement that the 83-year-old is “delighted to join more than 1 million Americans in supporting Ready for Hillary.” Soros, a longtime Socialist, donated $1 million to Priorities USA, the former pro-President Obama super PAC that was responsible for launching multiple negative attacks against Republican challenger Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential election.


      Hillary's only problem is that she is not as far to the Left as the Democratic Socialists want. That is why they are touting Socialist Elizabeth Warren to run against her in the primaries. The Clintons want all the Liberal Socialist money people, who are keen on her, to think twice. By having her husband swear in New York City's Socialist Mayor she is trying to convince them that she can be their champion. The new mayor of New York is far more liberal than Bill Clinton, so it’s a surprise(?) the former president would swear in the progressive idol. Until you consider 2016.


      Bill Clinton thinks that De Blasio-style left-leaning Progressivism represents the real Democratic Party. So the bigger question is what positions will Hillary Clinton take that will move her a bit to the left? Inside the liberal activist world, there’s already a Hillary-centric debate going on about this: Should we just make our peace with her because she seems inevitable and we want a woman president and so on, or should we declare our allegiance to candidates like Bernie Sanders-D, the self proclaimed Democratic Socialist? By doing that early, the powers that are feel they can push her a little more towards their Democratic Socialist agenda.
  
      Next there is a need to change the legacy at the State Department.  The Senate Intelligence Committee released its report on the September 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. The bipartisan report placed significant blame on the Obama administration, and in particular Hillary Clinton’s State Department, but the media-engineered rehabilitation of Clinton has already begun. A recent seven-thousand-word piece in the New York Times whitewashed Clinton’s role in the 2012 Benghazi scandal. The piece dismissed strong evidence that the administration failed to respond to repeated warnings and appeals for more security at the U.S. consulate. Hillary’s press office itself couldn’t have mounted a better defense of her botched handling of the attack.

      Clinton's press office won't have much difficulty in getting her message out.  A study by UCLA politics professor Tim Groseclose disclosed how different media outlets report political news. He found that “every mainstream national news outlet in the United States has a liberal bias,” and calculated that media bias helps Democratic candidates by as much as ten percentage points in a typical election.

      While we debate about voter fraud, whether an ID is required or how many times a Democrat is allowed to vote, let us not forget that the news media today is controlled by four major corporations. These entities long ago came to the conclusion that the profit now lies in Capitalistic Socialism. This is the direction of our country. This is why, we believe barring any major developments, that the next POTUS has already been ordained.

Western Media Continue with Cold War Mentality

TRUTH - The Cold War is over.

       I detest Communist Socialism. It is a failed form of government that only a moron, they're called Progressives now, could embrace. When I look at what is happening in the US, Europe, and else where, I get chills when I witness the ignorance of supposedly intelligent people. The left in America and Europe have gained political power by appealing to voters' emotions, but when they achieve power their ideology harms the very people who voted for them.

      Some of us have escaped the western propaganda machine via the internet. We are able to read news and views that are not part of the Democratic Socialists agenda. Some of us have turned towards Russia. WHAT! Yes, Russia. Vladimir Putin is the head of the Russian Federation. An ex-KGB officer, yes EX, he has molded the country into a place that many in the US see, given the direction our country is headed, as a possible haven for the future.

      How can this be? Isn't he a hard line Communist? It's what we are told repeatedly in the US media.........and it is a LIE. Make no mistake he is a man who is in control but he has a moral compass. I'm not going to go into Mr. Putin here. I will just say two things. One, his political party will never allow the Communist party to take control again. Two, he is a staunch defender of Christianity and morality. As an extra bonus - he sings.

      Let me introduce you to the Russian Times. Many Americans read it to get much more truth than they can get from the Western propaganda machine. Here are some comments that your fellow American citizens have made in this Russian newspaper about the Western press and where they fear their country is going:

• "One of my fantasies is to kidnap Vladimir Putin and make him the leader of the US." - Jim.
•  "The fact that Putin allows Christianity is an AMAZING thing, while Christians, true ones, are          persecuted in anti christ America." - Robert.
•  "Putin has encouraged the nation of Russia to return to spiritual values, whereas the US. is going in the opposite direction. " - Glen .
• "It is a shame that it takes someone from Russia to speak the truth that our media refuses to do. The reason they don't is because they are communists themselves. "  - Steve.
•  The western media is SO censored and whitewashed -it will NEVER tell the truth, or expose what is going on in detail.  CNN??  It is the Communist News Network these days.  Every media in the U.S. is now just propaganda that has been blessed by the idiot dictator Obama.  I'd love to move to a free country.  If I could find one. - Laura Key 
• "We are witnessing the slow decline and eventual destruction of the United States, as was the case for the Roman and Greek Empires. When history is recorded of the deeds, actions, and accomplishments of great leaders, President Putin will stand tall because he dared to uphold the virtues of the Christian faith and civilization itself. " - Richard Dixon
• "In the land of the "free" and the "brave," we are not permitted to voice our true opinion publicly (Political correctness) We are simply the invisible, pathetic tax-payers or tributaries of the present regime." - F. Johnson
• One more disappoint upon another. There isn't any credibility left in our government. I wish we had President Kennedy back. He like Putin was a man to admire. - Carol

       As the Olympics approaches and the anti-Russian, anti-Putin rhetoric heats up there is truth out there but you have to search for it. Knowledgeable persons can sense something isn't right. They can see the Cold War mentality that spews from our media is nonsensical from a country whose military bases out number Russia's 500 to 4. This is NOT the old Soviet Union. There are traces of it left that will take a few generations to get rid of just as it took a few to ingrain, but it is time..........for a new beginning. As our country moves to Fascism and slides toward a Democratic Socialist form of government, Russia may be our refuge.

A Look at Lies

by
          M. Richard Maxson                                                     

      A old friend of mine came over the other day. He is a Cuban patriot. He fought against Castro and the Communists. He helped smuggle people off the island by boat making the trip many times. He is a wanted man by the Cuban government for his activities. Today he still lives in constant fear of assassination. I admire his courage and love of freedom.

      I hadn't spoke to him much in the last year so we sat and, over coffee, had a conversation about the state of our Union. We both read many news sources from outside of this country and our conversation turned to the media. He spoke up and stated, "You know, I find that the news media in this country is, I won't call them lies, but mis-truths about almost everything that is being reported. I am an American citizen but if I want the truth on anything I can't depend on US reporting. I must go outside of the US for the truth, where there still are serious journalists."

      I told him that we put out a blog and that is one of our main themes, the propaganda that fills our everyday lives. He went on to say that "important news is being ignored here." I tried to explain to him that many Americans are not interested in anything much more than what Kim Kardashian is wearing today. He was not amused. "The government is lying to the public every day and there are very few in the press that speak up about it. Important world events are happening and there is nothing," he said.

       Our conversation led me to reflect on the purpose of our writings here. As it says in our mission statement, we are here to print the truth, in a country that has less and less of it each day. So, before we disappear again from the internet, (We have had attacks recently) We will take a subject each month and reveal it's half truths and outright lies that the shadow government and it's proponents have repeated over and over again until most of the citizenry believe it as gospel. We will be direct and to the point. Whether you agree or not, it will be the truth, a commodity that is rare in 21st century America.

The Origins of Three Kings Day and other Celebrated Holidays

by

       M. Richard Maxson and
       Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey

      St. Nicholas is the patron of Russia, of sailors and children, the benevolent figure who brings gifts on December 6th, December 25th or on January 6th, depending on the country and the religion / culture. 

Saint Nicholas existed in the flesh. He was born in Mira, Asia Minor, the city of which he became Bishop, in the fourth century AD. He became tied to gift-giving due to the many stories of his generosity, as he distributed his considerable wealth among the poor and in favor of social causes.

      Originally, gifts were given on the 6th of December (Saint Nicholas' Day) but this was changed when in the fourth century, Pope Julius (337-352) set the 25th of December as the day of the birth of Jesus, because it was a day that coincided with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, and the Germanic and Celtic pagan festivities of the winter Solstice (December 21). It was in the thirteenth century that the habit of building cribs to celebrate Christ's birth began.

     The Orthodox Church then changed this festival to the Day of Epiphany (day of the adoration, the 6th of January), when the Three Kings/Wise Men/Zoroastrian astrologists brought presents for the baby Jesus in the stable. It is on this day that Christmas is celebrated in Russia, but who brings the gifts are Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost), and Snegoroshka (The Snow Girl). Ded Moroz is perhaps the original Santa Claus, with his white long beard and his long clothes. Traditionally, he was clad in different colored robes but in the west, the Coca-Cola campaign of the 1920s saw him become accepted and customized in red and white.

      New Year was originally celebrated on April 1, not January 1. In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII ordered the Gregorian Calendar to replace the Julian one and this new calendar called for New Year to be celebrated in January. April 1 was near the time of the Vernal Equinox (March 21) and is the time of the rebirth of agriculture, celebrated by fertility festivals from February (Carnival) onwards, until Easter (which takes its name from the Pagan Fertility Goddess Eostre, depicted on rock engravings holding the symbol of fertility, a rabbit and the symbol of eternity, an egg). The beginning of April coinciding with the fertility festivals, it is likely that in popular cultural expressions, dances, songs and games were performed, along with dressing up in costumes to represent good (fertility) spirits. Some say that the newly enlightened, more educated people accepted this date and the traditionalists in the countryside did not, and as they retained April 1, they were called fools or liars.

 

The Transformation of America

Guest Column

       by Zeno Potas

     The transformation of America has kicked into high gear in many areas as the point of no return seems to be passing us by. This started back in the 1960s. And now, today, our largest primary social institutions – education, the media, Hollywood (entertainment) have become really nothing more than a soap box for Socialistic Progressivism. Furthermore, we have allowed the Democratic Socialists to undermine the institutions that instill good character – marriage, the family, communities, schools, and our churches. So, here we are, at least two full generations later – we are reaping what we have sown. It took nearly fifty years to get here; it will take another fifty years to get back if we can.

     The violations of the Constitution are at an all time high and because the Socialists are in power, and true Americans cannot get a hearing to stop this snowball down the hill race towards total government control of every citizens life. The stretching, ignoring, and insane interpretations of this hallowed document is frightening. Let's look at just a couple of the daggers into the heart of America.

     The Fourth Amendment protects everyone in America from government intrusion in their persons, houses, papers and effects, whether the government is looking for evidence of crimes or of evidence of sophistry. The whole purpose of the Fourth Amendment is to prevent the government from going house to house without probable cause until it finds evidence of a crime -- as British soldiers did to the colonists -- and then using that evidence in criminal prosecutions. But if the NSA is being allowed to go from computer to computer without probable cause until it finds what it wants -- and turn some of that evidence over to law enforcement. The Constitution’s protections are effectively short-circuited. The NSA’s argument that the Fourth Amendment only regulates criminal prosecutions is nonsense. It never has seriously been made to or accepted by the Supreme Court, and it defies what we now know about the client list of the NSA.

      Obamacare could be the biggest voter registration fraud scheme in the history of the world? This is the bombshell assessment of a pair of conservative activists: Gregg Phillips, founder of  Voters Trust, and Catherine Engelbrecht of  True the Vote. A 1993 law  requires any government office that provides “public assistance” to make voter registration part of the process. Since many applicants applying for coverage in the Obamacare “insurance marketplace” will be eligible for Medicaid (public assistance), not “Marketplace coverage,” voter registration by law must be part of the available health insurance package. The  Obamacare “navigators.” handling the applications have been hand selected by members of the Democratic/Progressive/Socialist party to "enroll" the masses.  Obamacare “navigators”  “can say and do things that government employees can’t, such as urging people to register as Democrats.” It has been reported on many separate occasions that these  “navigators.” are encouraging these new voters to register as Democrat in clear violation of the law. This is the finding, not of conservatives Phillips and Engelbrecht, but of a report by Demos, a left-wing organization funded by George Soros.(Remember him?) The report’s title says it all: “Building a Healthy Democracy: Registering 68 Million People to Vote through Health Benefit Exchanges” Could registering millions of new Democrats always have been the main goal of Obamacare?  It is a means “to collect personal data and voter registration information and share it with the federal government, which would in turn share it with left-wing groups … to conduct what is essentially a taxpayer-funded Get-Out-The-Vote operation for the Democratic Party.”

     The back-door Socialists have control of the schools, the media, one political party and about half of the other, and now, they begin to tilt the courts. The so-called "nuclear option" enacted by Comrade Reed has begun to nominate Leftist progressive thinkers to fill vacancies and will tilt the court system hard left. By stifling opposition this one party dictatorial ruling class are taking over and will probably be impossible to stop. Anyone who stands up to these Democratic thugs are said to be obstructionists who are damaging the country by not falling in line. Obstructing what, the destruction of our Republic? Damn right we are and we will go down with the ship, fighting to the end.

      When most Americans look out their windows they know this is not the country it once was. There's something wrong, something awfully wrong. The majority of Americans do not seem to see what is coming. That is what makes me so sad today. I see the country I love headed toward the end of the Republic, and I cannot seem to reach those who are unknowingly taking it there.
