Democratic Socialists Continue to Attack the First Amendment

By

       M. Richard Maxson

     The FIRST AMENDMENT:

"CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,

or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

or abridging the freedom of speech,

or of the press;

or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,

and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

      An appalling undercurrent has sprung into the current political scene. It is as anti-American as the Socialist-Progressive-Communism from which it has sprung. We have seen it this week as roads are

blocked to deny fellow citizens their rights. We have seen it in political rallies where Leftists, bent on stopping free speech that they don't agree with, are disrupting these events in an attempt to affect the coming election. In the name of "tolerance" it is being allowed to unfold and patriotic Americans are powerless to stop it. The "IT" is the destruction of the First Amendments guarantee of Freedom of Speech. 

      We are watching the coming of age for a new generation. An anti-American generation of youth molded in closet Communism in our own schools and universities and led to believe that these ideals are fair and moral when nothing could be further from reality. They are becoming a generation of sound-bites, mis-information, and intolerance.  A generation schooled by Marxist ideology that will one day shutdown free speech completely. A generation that will purge dissenting viewpoints. A generation that will shutter our churches and burn our books. We are watching the generation that is destroying America.

      Free speech has never been, in the history of our Republic, more comprehensively, aggressively, and dangerously threatened than it is now.  University campuses are supposed to be a place for an open exchange of ideas, but liberals on many college campuses are no longer willing to hear both sides of the conversation. Student groups across the country have decided that a free exchange of ideas is no longer a welcome quality on college campuses—unless they agree with all the ideas being exchanged.  There is a belief that the First Amendment is a mistake and that the real right people have regarding speech is the right to avoid speech.  On our campuses there has never been more intellectual ingenuity devoted towards rationalizing the disappearance of the First Amendment. Its an attack on the theory of freedom of speech. It is an attack on the desirability of free speech.

      Our nation's public universities are now breeding grounds for anti-American and un-Constitutional beliefs as a new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals that a shocking number of Millennials support curbing free speech. According to their findings, 40 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 believe the government should be able to ban any speech that is offensive. The Leftist Progressive party has already attempted to legally dismantle this Constitutional right. Every single Democrat in the United States Senate voted to repeal the essential guarantee of freedom of speech by voting for Senate Joint Resolution 19, a constitutional amendment introduced by Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.). Thank goodness it failed, but had it passed and been ratified as part of our Constitution, the words “Congress shall pass no law” would have been blotted out of the First Amendment!

      Many pundits have done a tremendous job documenting the methodical way in which our public institutions, our political parties, and our media have been turned against us and our Constitution. Those who do not agree with the rampaging mob of anti-free speech protesters have been threatened,  ridiculed, and minimized– their voices silenced. We, as all true Patriots and Americans, cannot and must not be silenced.

President Harrison's Death - Not What It Appeared

by

       Zeno Potas

       The 9th President of the United States, William Henry Harrison,

was born FEBRUARY 9, 1773. He was the son of Benjamin Harrison, signer the Declaration of Independence, and he was the grandfather of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd President. 

      He was one of the first men running for the office to have a  campaign slogan which was "Tippecanoe and Tyler too." This refereed to his days as a military officer who was the hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, and the Battle of the Thames in 1813, recovering Detroit from the British and their Indian allies led by Shawnee chief Tecumseh. He gave the longest Inaugural address, 8,445 words, but served the shortest term, only 32 days. He was the first President to die in office. As we now know, the true nature of his death was falsified. This has given rise to the suspicion that his demise was perhaps - arraigned.

      Elected as a Whig, he was surrounded by Jacksonian Democrat holdovers from the previous administration. This faction of the Democratic party, the Jacksonians, were in disagreement with the traditionalists within party itself. Previously Andrew Jackson's attempt to expand the power of the presidency while diminishing the role of the elitist bankers was stated in his veto of the bank charter renewal. In what has been called one of the most "popular and effective documents in American political history", Jackson outlined a major readjustment to the relative powers of the government branches. "The executive branch, Jackson averred, when acting in the interests of the American people; was not bound to defer to the decisions of the Supreme Court, nor to comply with legislation passed by Congress. Further, executive power was no longer limited to suppressing clear violations of the Constitution – it could be asserted on social, political or economic grounds.

      This was a subversion of the Constitution to Harrison. In his

inaugural address he railed against the powers in and behind the government that were attempting to change what the Founding Fathers had in mind for separation of powers as laid out in the Constitution. His concern that the presidency could be turned into a quasi-dictatorship was his message to the country. In his address, written with help from Daniel Webster, President William Henry Harrison warned, March 4, 1841:

      "The great danger to our institutions does...appear to me to be...the accumulation in one of the departments of that which was assigned to others.... Limited as are the powers which have been granted, still enough have been granted to constitute a despotism if concentrated in one of the departments.... particularly...the Executive...The tendency of power to increase itself, particularly when exercised by a single individual...would terminate in virtual monarchy..."

      Harrison continued:

      "Republics can commit no greater error than to...continue any feature in their...government which may...increase the love of power in the bosoms of those to whom necessity obliges them to commit the management of their affairs...When this corrupting passion once takes possession of the human mind, like the love of gold it becomes insatiable."

       "It is the part of wisdom for a republic to limit the service of that officer...to whom she has intrusted the management of her foreign relations, the execution of her laws, and the command of her armies and navies to a period so short as to prevent his forgetting that he is the accountable agent, not the principle; the servant, not the master..."

       Harrison warned:

      "The great dread...seems to have been that the reserved powers of the States would be absorbed by...the Federal Government and a consolidated power established, leaving to the States the shadow only of that independent action for which they had so zealously contended...There is still an undercurrent at work by which, if not seasonably checked, the worst apprehensions of our anti-federal patriots will be realized...Not only will the State authorities be overshadowed by the great increase of power in the Executive department...but the character of that Government, if not its designation, be essentially and radically changed.....as it is...the never-failing tendency of political power to increase itself...."

      The other burning issue of the day was the reintroduction of the National Bank Bill. His possible assassination may have been approved by the elite of the day as the fight for a new Bank of the United States began to warm up again with his inauguration. His warnings on the control of the nation's currency were made very clear that day.

      "It is not by the extent of its patronage alone that the Executive department has become dangerous, but by the use which it appears may be made of the appointing power to bring under its control the whole revenues of the country...The first Roman Emperor, in his attempt to seize the sacred treasure, silenced the opposition of the officer to whose charge it had been committed by a significant allusion to his sword...I know the importance...to the divorce...the Treasury from the banking institutions...It was certainly a great error in the framers of the Constitution not to have made...the head of the Treasury Department entirely independent of the Executive....It is in periods like this that it behooves the people to be most watchful of those to whom they have intrusted power..." That wisdom still rings true today and may have given reasonable fear to the elites who made their profits in banking.

       With his death  John Tyler, Harrison's successor and a former Democrat, abandoned the Whig agenda, effectively cutting himself off from the party and giving control of the government back to the Democratic party while continuing the un-constitutional ideas of his predecessor that the president should set policy instead of deferring to Congress. As the clouds of Civil War began to form in the chaos that was the pro-slavery Democratic Party he was marginalized by both parties and became ineffective. He became the first president to have his veto's overturned by Congress.

      The query is: After his two hour inaugural address in which he clearly laid the groundwork for a change in the unconstitutional drift that he felt the country was in, was he deliberately poisoned with enteric fever? Was it the bankers for his views on a new national bank or was it the Jacksonians who wanted more power to their president? We do know that he became ill three weeks after his address so the story of a cold turning into pneumonia is false. We may never know the real truth.

Why We Are Not Defeating ISIS?

by

       Phillip Todd

      The truth coming out of the mid-east is chilling as ISIS continues to grow(despite false news reports) and it appears that the United States is aiding them.  What is going on here? Who is really in control? People from within the system have been raising these concerns for a long time. Some fearless politicians have been warning us about the secret government, the power that is found in big corporations and big banks. Bernie Sanders also admitted something many people were already feeling: that it doesn’t matter who is elected, because the power the elitists hold over US policy is too well established to be challenged by any one person.(see JFK) The war on terror is being purposefully prolonged for the benefit of the many powerful people who maintain vested interest in that prolongation — the people for whom profit is derived from conflict. Below are quotes from those on the ground and in the know who are risking their lives to tell the truth.


      As Canadian economist and Ottawa’s Emeritus Professor of Economics stated  the International Conference on the New World Order, which was organized and sponsored by the Perdana Global Peace Foundation, 
 “We are dealing with a criminal undertaking at a global level … and there is an ongoing war, it is led by the United States, it may be carried out by a number of proxy countries, which are obeying orders from Washington … The global war on terrorism is a US undertaking, which is fake, it’s based on fake premises. It tells us that somehow America and the Western world are going after a fictitious enemy, the Islamic state, when in fact the Islamic state is fully supported and financed by the Western military alliance and America’s allies in the Persian Gulf."

       ".....there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an intensified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive TV watchers to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the United States.”
                                                                             - Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook

        "... the US had provided terrorists in Beiji with their military hardware and ammunition. “The military hardware and weapons had been airdropped by the US-led warplanes and choppers for the ISIL in the nearby areas of Beiji.”  Al-Zameli said that reports come in every day to the government in Baghdad claiming that the US is airdropping weapons and supplies for the terrorists. He also claims that the most prominent reason for the ongoing survival of ISIL is the result of this very support.
                     -  Head of Iraq’s National Security and Defense committee, Hakem al-Zameli 

        In June Aaron Klein, writing for World Net Daily, reported that members of ISIS were trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan, according to informed Jordanian officials. The CIA has shipped weapons to al-Qaeda affiliated groups in Syria since at least 2012, a fact revealed by The New York Times.

         This is proof that the US and the international coalition are “not serious in fighting against the ISIL organization, because they have the technological power to determine the presence of ISIL gunmen and destroy them in one month.”
               - Iraqi Parliamentary Security and Defense Commission MP Majid al-Gharawi  

        Why is this happening? One reason is clear to Iraqi MP Majid al-Gharawi,  "the US is trying to expand the time of the war against the ISIL to get guarantees from the Iraqi government to have its permanent bases in Mosul and Anbar provinces." The powers that be want new bases near the Iranian border to keep tabs and continue in their attempt to destabilize that country. In addition they are a stones throw away from the Russian border, the ultimate prize and the continuation of the proxy war against them.

       So far, Putin outwitted Obama in Syria, effectively challenging his dirty game. He’s determined to eliminate the scourge of terrorism and keep it from spreading, especially to Central Asia and Russia. A proxy state of war between America and Russia now exists – a hugely dangerous situation, risking possible direct confrontation between the world’s two nuclear superpowers. Expect Putin to go all-out to avoid it. Put nothing past neocon lunatics in Washington – willing to risk destroying planet earth to own it.

Neglected Truth

by
       M. Richard Maxson

 "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."- Unknown


      Does the truth matter? We live in an age of unprecedented challenges to the truth. It is under siege. All of us can point to examples: Politicians who manipulate the truth or withhold it, the re-evaluation and re-writing of history, or the meaning of our Constitution. I was just thinking the other day about these and other events and current discussions with other knowledgeable Americans. Here is some random information for your collective consciousness.*

• Demanding that Americans hide their religious beliefs. Banning dissenting views on the climate change scam. Slandering people with charges of the kind of racism pioneered and perfected by the Democrat party. Anyone who studies the history of ideas should notice how much more often people on the political left, more so than others, denigrate and demonize those who disagree with them — instead of answering their arguments.

• Ronald Reagan had it right when he said, "We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions."

•  It is the only way we can move forward with ideas that help everyone. Because, at present, if those ideas don’t emanate from the left, they will not be allowed to be heard by the left.
  

• “Muslims account for only about 1 percent of the U.S. population but account for about half of terrorist attacks since 9/11. That means Muslims in the United States are about 5,000 percent more likely to commit terrorist attacks than non-Muslims.” 

• I saw a 1950s photo of high school girls at an indoor shooting range. The photo caption states: "Back in the 1950s and even later, many high schools had shooting ranges. Students even brought their own rifles to school." It asks, "What changed in society that we could trust such activities then, but not now?"

•  Today individual rights are being stripped away in an effort to appease the god of social liberals in the ruling elite, the government.
  

• Progress is the degree to which human beings can achieve their individual potential in peace and without coercion. Progress is the degree to which the average human being, regardless of gender or race can live in peace and freedom.
  

• Many liberal activists like her, suffer from factophobia. They will throw out any false accusations to advance an agenda. I realize this is an inherent aspect of politics, but the Left has mastered the art of BS (bogus stuff).

•   It is very disturbing to think that some of the people that we may be interacting with on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are actually paid government agents that are purposely trying to feed us propaganda.
  

• Why have a national debt ceiling if it doesn't really put a ceiling on the national debt? What the national debt ceiling does is allow Democrats to gain votes by spending the government's money -- and then force Republicans to share responsibility for raising the national debt ceiling, under threat of being blamed for shutting down the government if they don't.
  

•  Hollywood has never been opposed to propaganda. When Hollywood's self-declared auteurs and artistes denounce propaganda as the enemy of art, almost invariably what they really mean is "propaganda we don't like."
  

• Households with a conservative at the helm gave an average of 30 percent more money to charity in 2000 than liberal households (a difference of $1,600 to $1,227). The difference isn't explained by income differential—in fact, liberal households make about 6 percent more per year. Poor, rich, and middle class conservatives all gave more than their liberal counterparts.

• The information age is actually a media age. We have war by media; censorship by media; demonology by media; retribution by media; diversion by media - a surreal assembly line of obedient clichés and false assumptions.

The Timeless Wisdom of Ronald Reagan in the 21st Century

by

       M. Richard Maxson



      The last great president of the United States was undoubtedly Ronald Reagan. His patriotism and wisdom can be seen as right up there with Benjamin Franklin and the other Founding Fathers. We have stitched together his observations on our country as it approached the end of the twentieth century and the guidance and warnings of the future that are not to be seen on today's political landscape. If he were alive today he would be repulsed at our country's condition. Here, in his own words..........



      "Those of us who are over 35 or so years of age grew up in a different America. We were taught, very directly, what it means to be an American. And we absorbed, almost in the air, a love of country and an appreciation of its institutions. If you didn't get these things from your family you got them from the neighborhood, from the father down the street who fought in Korea or the family who lost someone at Anzio. Or you could get a sense of patriotism from school. And if all else failed you could get a sense of patriotism from the popular culture. The movies celebrated our values and implicitly reinforced the idea that America was special. TV was like that, too, through the mid-sixties. But now... some things have changed. Younger parents aren't sure that an unambivalent appreciation of America is the right thing to teach modern children. And as for those who create the popular culture, well-grounded patriotism is no longer the style. Our spirit is back, but we haven't reinstitutionalized it. We've got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom-freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It's fragile; it needs protection."

      "Informed patriotism is what we want. And are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world?  We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion but what's important-why the Pilgrims came here, who Jimmy Doolittle was, and what those 30 seconds over Tokyo meant. If we forget what we did, we won't know who we are. I'm warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit. Let's start with some basics: more attention to American history and a greater emphasis on civic ritual."



      "I have seen the rise of Fascism and Communism. Both philosophies glorify the arbitrary power of the state... But both theories fail" -  Ronald Reagan - Beijing, China, April 27, 1984

       "I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines. This is the issue of this election: whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. Well, I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as "the masses." This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, "the full power of centralized government" -- this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy."
 

      "I think we're for telling our senior citizens that no one in this country should be denied medical care because of a lack of funds. "One of the traditional methods of imposing Socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project...But I think

we're against forcing all citizens, regardless of need, into a compulsory government program, especially when we have such examples, as was announced last week, when France admitted that their Medicare program is now bankrupt. They've come to the end of the road. If you don't(stop it), this program I promise you will pass...and behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known...until, one day...we will awake to find that we have Socialism."

     James Madison in 1788... said ... "There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations"... Ronald Reagan - 1961

     

      "As a former Democrat, I can tell you the Socialist candidate, Norman Thomas isn't the only man who has drawn this parallel to Socialism with the present administration, because back in 1936, Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his Democratic Party was taking the Party of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. And he walked away from his Party, and he never returned til the day he died -- because to this day, the leadership of that Party has been taking that

Party, that honorable Party, down the road in the image of the labor Socialist Party of England  Now it doesn't require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a people. What does it mean whether you hold the deed to the -- or the title to your business or property if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property? And such machinery already exists. The government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute. Every businessman has his own tale of harassment. Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is                                                          at this moment."   

      "Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of

the welfare state have told us they have a utopian solution.... They call their policy "accommodation." All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers (or racists). They (Democratic Socialists) say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer -- not an easy answer -- but simple: If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based on what we know in our hearts is morally right...not the flavor of the month.

Otherwise, you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children, what it once was like in America when men were free."

Is the United States Providing ISIS with Arms and Supplies?

by



       Philip Todd

      From the mid-east to the far-east there are documented reports that the United States is not really trying to fight ISIS, rather the contrary, it is supplying them with weapons supplies, and logistics. This bombshell story is being kept out of the news reports, especially in North America but is a fact in most of the eastern societies this is no secret. Has anyone here even seen these headlines yet.

• The US is supplying high-tech anti-aircraft weapons to ISIS
  
• A Recent Confession From ISIS Leaders
  
• Iraqi Forces Blast US
  
• China condemns US for supplying weapons to ISIS
  

       After failing to achieve their goals in Ukraine the US is now fighting a back-door proxy war against Russia. The cover story that is in place is that Russia is our true enemy that is backed up by the massive wave of anti-Russian propaganda in the US press.(ex. Yahoo news recently, on the same day, ran 7 of 9 lead stories about the so-called Russian threat) Just this week our European allies have chastised the administration for what they called "holding back" on our efforts against ISIS. Here is a brief rundown on just these four stories:

• The US is supplying high-tech anti-aircraft weapons to ISIS.
  

       ” The reality of US policy is to support the government of Iraq, but not Syria, against ISIS. But one reason that group has been able to grow so strong in Iraq is that it can draw on its resources and fighters in Syria.” ”By continuing these contradictory policies in two countries, the US has ensured that ISIS can reinforce its fighters in Iraq from Syria and vice versa. So far, Washington has been successful in escaping blame for the rise of ISIS by putting all the blame on the Iraqi government. In fact, it has created a situation in which ISIS can survive and may well flourish. The sharp increase in the strength and reach of jihadist organizations in Syria and Iraq has generally been unacknowledged until recently by politicians and media in the West.”

• A Recent Confession From ISIS Leaders
  

       A spokesman for Iraq’s Kata’ib Hezbollah popular forces Jafar al-Hosseini has disclosed to Fars News Agency that ISIS leaders captured in Iraq have acknowledged that they have been receiving logistical backup and intelligence support from the US. “As the ISIL commanders captured in Iraqi popular forces’ recent military operations have confessed, the US supports for the terrorist groups are not limited to the dispatch of logistical support,” Al-Hosseini relayed to FNA. He went on to tell the agency that the US has given ISIL information regarding the positions and targets of Iraqi forces. “ISIL commanders trusted the US officials who had assured them that the Iraqi forces would not attack Fallujah because the US had urged the Iraqi government to prevent the popular forces from entering Fallujah and raid Beiji instead; hence the terrorists left Fallujah for Beiji to stay on the alert in there.” Coordinator of Iraqi popular forces Jafar al-Jaberi told FNA that US airplanes have been airdropping beneficial products and goods to ISIL terrorists as a means to further support Takfiri terrorists in Iraq. He said, “The US planes have dropped weapons for the ISIL terrorists in the areas under ISIL control.

       The confession is supported with the help of eyewitnesses in Al-Havijeh of Kirkuk province who say that they watched US airplanes dispense these

packages from their airplanes in the province.  Furthermore, two British planes have been shot down by Iraq’s army in Al-Anbar, where it was revealed that they were harboring weapons for ISIL terrorists. “The Iraqi Parliament’s National Security and Defense Committee has access to the photos of both planes that are British and have crashed while they were carrying weapons for the ISIL,” senior Iraqi lawmaker Hakem al-Zameli unveiled, who says that their parliament has reached out to London for answers on the matter.

• Iraqi Forces Blast US
  

      An Iraqi provincial official lashed out at the western countries and their regional allies for supporting terrorists in Iraq, revealing that the US airplanes still continue to airdrop weapons and foodstuff for the ISIL terrorists. The senior Iraqi legislator further unveiled that the government in Baghdad is receiving daily reports from people and security forces in al-Anbar province on numerous flights by the US-led coalition planes that airdrop weapons and supplies for ISIL in terrorist-held areas. The Iraqi lawmaker further noted the cause of such western aids to the terrorist group, and explained that the US prefers a chaotic situation in Anbar Province which is near the cities of Karbala and Baghdad as it does not want the ISIL crisis to come to an end. 

       The Iraqi popular forces who shot down a US

helicopter carrying weapons for the ISIL forces in Al-Baqdadi region released the photos of the shot down chopper through the Internet. Last week, Head of the Iraqi Parliament’s National Security and Defense Committee Hakem al-Zameli announced that the helicopters of the US-led anti-ISIL coalition were dropping weapons and foodstuff for the ISIL terrorists in the Southern parts of Tikrit. He underscored that he had documents and photos showing that the US Apache helicopters airdropped foodstuff and weapons for the ISIL.

      

• China condemns US for supplying weapons to ISIS
  

       The Chinese government issued a report stating that what is ridiculous now is the story of the loss of US advanced weapons to ISIS. Judging by the released photos of the weapons left by Iraqi troops to ISIS in Ramadi, the weapons seemed to be given to ISIS on purpose. ISIS retreated from Ramadi on purpose to enable Iraqi troops to send US weapons into the City. When the weapons were ready for ISIS to take, Iraqi troops retreated to let ISIS take the weapons. That was in fact a fake battle.
The London-based organization Conflict Armament Research previously reported that ISIS fighters are using “significant quantities” of arms including M16 assault rifles marked “property of the US government.” “What is important is that the US sends these weapons to only those that cooperate with the Pentagon and this indicates that the US plays a role in arming the ISIL.”
     
THE TRUTH: The administration declared proxy war on Russia after pledging to avoid it. The elite are playing with fire. Putin is determined to eliminate the scourge of terrorism in Syria, and by implication perhaps regionally and beyond. That puts him on a collision course with Washington. According to the Journal,

“(i)n the past month of intensifying Russian airstrikes, the CIA and its partners have increased the flow of military supplies to rebels in northern Syria, including of US-made TOW antitank missiles, these officials said.” “Those supplies will continue to increase in coming weeks, replenishing stocks depleted by the expanded military offensive. Shoulder-launched, man-portable, surface-to-air missiles (SAMS) defense systems (Manpads) are being supplied. “Those weapons could help target Russian aircraft keeping Russian air power at bay,” said the Journal, citing unnamed US officials. The more heavily armed ISIS and other terrorist groups become, the harder Russian aircraft will likely target them. Expect the battle to liberate Syria to continue for as long as it takes to achieve. We may be witnessing the beginning of WWIII.

How Democratic Socialism has Changed America

by

       George Sontag

        The rich and powerful, those who walk the corridors of power, are getting fat and happy under the Obama economic agenda.  The top 1%, the

millionaires and billionaires who the president loves to demagogue, although on the left they are his backers, earn a higher share of our national income than any time since 1928. It is the great lie, told by the Democrats, that has been perpetuated their media that the rich are the enemy, when if fact many of the Leftist rich are their partners. They push Socialism under the banner of "Progressive" yet it is not the kind that is most well known, no, it is a "corporate socialism" that creates massive wealth for the very few while leaving the rest of us to wonder - what happened? It is an indisputable fact that the current so-called Democratic party of the United States is the most anti-Constitutional party in our history as the following frightening(to patriots) statistics show:

•  Fifty-six percent of those Democratic primary voters questioned said they felt positive about Socialism as a governing philosophy in this country, versus 29 percent who took a negative view. Sixty-nine percent of Sanders supporters see socialism in a positive light. Those supporting Hillary Clinton approve of Socialism - 52 percent to 32 percent. 63 percent of Democratic voters under the age of 30 rate it positively and African-Americans support Socialism by a ratio of 2 to 1.

•  More unsettling to supporters of constitutional checks and balances is the finding that 43% of Democrats believe the president should have the right to ignore the courts. 

•  Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Democrats think the president should take action alone if Congress does not approve his proposals.

      On controversial matters Democrats want to pick and choose when the law is followed depending on their current agenda. The disgraceful Department of (in)Justice is a glaring example of Fascism in our government. The law is to be enforced only when the dictator in the white house says so, but they also want a president who follows the law when they disapprove of any potentially disagreeable action he might take. They want it both ways to suit the moment.

      Contrary to our Founding Fathers decree, the Democrat Party declares that our rights are gifts from Government, not the creator. The Democrat Party’s changing composition makes it possible to be openly anti-God. It’s now made up of a very rich urban elite and the poor. The urban elite despises God. In the coming years, we will hear a lot about how progressive Europeans are leading the way in casting off the shackles of religion. Their ideology is just Socialism with a thin veneer of Jesus.

      Democrats, the left, Progressives have always been the party of permanent class status. Where would the Democrat’s be without the “exploited” worker? Where would they be without the “struggling” man? The Democrat left has exploited, plundered, and manipulated their way into power since they first justified laws that banned freed slaves from owning weapons for self-defense. They appeal to those who identify themselves as victims in the same way Socialists and Communists appealed to the oppressed masses of Europe and Russia. The truth is, their policies only promise the destruction of the powerful, not the empowerment of the oppressed. And thus, the “victims” will forever remain “victims” of urban violence, failing schools, deteriorating infrastructure and welfare dependency.

      The average citizen today is clueless as to what has happened in America. Our schools no longer teach our youth of our country's founding principals. They are slowly indoctrinated with anti-constituional propaganda that degrades our nation's past. We see our county's foundations being warped and molded into a new form of government that does not aspire to American tradition of selflessness when it comes to patriotism. It is quite the opposite. Democratic Socialists win because their narrative works on an emotional level -- us against them. Bad, selfish people -- known as Republicans or the right -- want to stop the good and the decent -- known as Democrats or the left -- from their right to health care, right to a job, right to a job with a "livable wage" and

the right to not only enjoy one's own lifestyle but to shut down freedom of expression by branding their critics as racists, sexists or homophobes. Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini would be proud.
