This article originally appeared in Pravda. It is reprinted with the permission of the author. It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists. Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters. First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blinds the foolish. Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega-preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo-Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America. The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Weimar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe. These past two weeks have been the most breathtaking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beaten our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them? These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters. Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motors) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self-given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions. So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western-sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride. Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper. So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked-down-upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive. The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left. The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Unfortunately, there's enough poison in the patient now that nothing can save her. I don't believe we have 6 months, but a year would be nice. It just doesn't fit 'their' 100 year plan.

Hitler stopped the Communism in Germany by tearing out its roots. We helped plant new Communist roots after a horrible war. Kruschev found the West was too strong to swallow by war so they had to back off using force. Communist roots in America have run deep for one hundred years, that is how we will be taken down, from within with Americans bowing to the yoke and irons willingly.
like a stab in the heart, isn't it?
"They reveal a concerted, well-coordinated strategy to destroy America through economics." Who benefits by killing the Golden Goose? I'll take the might of global capitalism over these conspiracy theories any day. The forces of global capitalism won't simply allow the world's #1 market be destroyed.

well stated.
weasel You and Clean should get a room. While he works for'em, you helped put'em in power. You're an idiot, a sucker, and NEVER forgiven!

Gee Flintie, not forgiven? Does this mean Thanksgiving together is out of the question again this year too? Listen you you. And you are telling me to get a room with someone and all you can do is send love postings to me? You are an STD of the Internet, a gift that keeps on giving. Perhaps it is you that lacks perspective here. Hate and love requite the same degree of energy to be expended. And you insist you hate me with every fiber of your being. I see what is wrong with that picture, it's just too bad for you that you don't.

i want to whiz on woodrow wilson's burial site before i die. is that really so much to ask ??

It's hard to miss something we never had. In 1913, Capitalism died, to make way for Socialism. We have been socialist since 1913, and that is a fact. Social Security, The Federal Reserve, both are big planks of Socialist ideology. Given to us by a Socialist Democrat, we haven't known REAL freedom, and a real Free Market since that fateful day when the government decided to steal the wealth of the many, and give it to the few. We are not a republic. We're not a democracy. We are a Socialist Experiment that is ending to make way for a Communist Police State. Meanwhile, Russia is becoming a much more free society. Funny how it works isn't it?

Weasel You won't weasel out, your Kenyan impostor and CFR lawn jockey Obama sure didn't fire him. No weasel, the fact that Clean's still in biz is clearly on you. Now atone, eat some RAT poison. The world will be a better place when you do.

This is a quote from a book written by Cong. Martin Dies of Texas... ""The President was furious," Dies wrote in his memoir, The Martin Dies Story. "I was surprised at his anger. He called me 'Mr. Congressman' -- he had called me 'Martin' before -- 'Mr. Congressman, you must see a bug-a-boo under every bed.' 'No, I never look under the bed,' I replied. 'Well,' he said, 'I have never seen a man that had such exaggerated ideas.... I do not believe in Communism any more than you do, but there is nothing wrong with the Communists in this country. Several of the best friends I have are Communists.'" For the seven years he headed the HCUA, Dies was given free rein to investigate Nazi and Fascist front groups. But the Roosevelt administration impeded every effort Dies undertook to expose Communist espionage, sabotage, and infiltration of government, academe, the defense industry, and unions. FDR's allies in the press mocked and defamed Dies, and the IRS An abbreviation for the Internal Revenue Service, a federal agency charged with the responsibility of administering and enforcing internal revenue laws subjected the congressman to a harassing audit. He was even offered the vice presidency if he would call off his investigation. In 1945, weary and heartsick heart·sick adj. Profoundly disappointed; despondent. heartsick , Dies retired from political life. Joe McCarthy took up the fight and was ruined as was Dies.
Crap......you're going to have to travel into the belly of the beast to accomplish this feat. The traitor is buried in the Washington National Cathedral in DC. Good luck and God speed!! : )

Funny as in ironic. Although, it's about as funny as a fart in the middle of a eulogy. Then again, it is kind of funny when you think about it. How all these decades that we've believed the lie that we're a free country, when we're anything BUT. People talk about how we have all these freedoms, and rights, and yet don't seem to understand that we own nothing, and pay tithe and tribute to our pimps in Washington. If we don't, we get a beat down. You're not in a free country if you pay tribute under duress or forfeiture of property to a government that has conclusively failed in protecting its citizens since 1913. In fact, our government has colluded with corporations to allow attacks to happen, crime to rise, and of course legislated so much of our daily lives that someone in a corporation somewhere makes a profit from it. That's not freedom, nor is it a free market.

pudrow wilson ran on an 'anti-war' platform then allowed civilians to die on the Lusitania so as to open pandora's box. besides Ole abe the commie-loving tyrant before him, teddy the progressive, i can't think of any preznit i truly despise more than pudrow wilson (during the 2nd half 19th - early 20th Century)...
Many people here decry the efforts of some political hopefuls as not being "smart enough, intelligent enough". Wilson spent his entire life in academia, he brought us needlessly into WW1, gave us the Federal Reserve and gave us the first Jew Supreme Court Justice under threat of blackmail. He was smart all right, but an immoral man.
In other words you have nothing to say. Just more empty accusations, wishes for death, and other words of obsession. You amuse me Flintie. You are your own worst enemy, I can't be bothered wth hating you. Sorry to disappoint you. Bark away on your porch and grind your neutered crotch on the door mat all you want. Thanks for the entertainment.
You know what? Original Christiantiry WAS a form of "communism", meaning the commune would help, assist, and nourish those who became part of it. Thing is, human greed and despotism controls any idea of that happening in our modern society, thus leading to the Soviet style of "communism". We are led by evil, thus the fruits of anything we can do results in evil. That is why, as of late, I'm trying to explore SPIRITUALITY versus RELIGION, as only a TRUE understanding of GOD can lead us onto the proper path.
i quickly discovered that the poor latin ameriKan bastards i thought had it worse - it turns out not only kind of have it different but maybe better (the police state is entrenched but numbers/technology still lag a bit - combined with rampant street level corruption) than the sheeple. the sheeple won't survive 48 hours after the last grocer is cleaned out...duhmeriKa is ground zero for the world wide adjustment they're planning, but we all knew the few real Americans that still stand up were all that kept it from happening sooner.
i haven't looked at a princeton grad the same since pudrow wilson was preznit there...~(/^]
Corrupt to the bone......through the bone. Yeah, that PhD really helped Wilson push a Democratic Congress to pass the Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and America's first-ever federal progressive income tax in the Revenue Act of 1913. And that was his first term.......but not enough destruction for Wilson and his cronies. Nope, in his second term We the People got WWI, labor unions, the war industries board, the Lever Act, the first federal drug prohibition, and the League of Nations. Noteworthy--this warmonger was given a Nobel Peace Prize (deja vu?) Sheesh, Wilson would have to work really hard to be any more destructive to this nation in two terms. GW can't even hold a candle to the damage done by this traitor.

Weasel There's nothing amusing about you...you're common, a common leftist stooge too stoopid to know the name of the fake Goddess you claim to worship. Things like you are the problem. You have neither the intelligence nor understanding of history to know what made this country great. You're the poster boy for useful idiot. You should relish that, it's all you have. Now face it, you helped get a CFR stooge elected, and now you're not happy he's bungholed you. Hey weasel, what did you expect? You should be honored to be bungholed by fellow miscegenate (as you called him during the election) Senator Barak Obama. ROTFLMAO! .... at you

i agree with every word you wrote. well said.
Wrong. Corporatism.
Mark If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled into a false security (April 1968).---Ezra Taft Benson, US Secretary of Agriculture 1953-1961 under Eisenhower
I can't disagree with his analysis of America and Americans, however, I do take to task his assertion that somehow the Russians were above this. They did in fact submit, quite easily after the white army was eliminated, and queued up for toilet paper and lived day to day in terror hoping not to get shot for speaking their minds. Don't give me this "Americans are weak, but we are strong" crap. We're all humans and open to the same stupid foibles.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
Incorrect. Fascism (a variant of socialism), with full blown Marxism as the final goal (probably not in this generation).

Fascism: A political regime based on strong centralized government, suppressing through violence any criticism or opposition of the regime, and exalting nation, state, or religion above the individual. Corporatism: Political system in which power is exercised through large organizations (businesses, trade unions, etc) working in concert with each other, under the direction of the state.

i ALWAZE love that one !
Both Socialism and Communism (one simply further along the course than the other) require Fascism for success amongst even one free man in the society who wishes to remain free. Of course, not ALL Fascists are Socialists or Communists.
Weii now, I would tell you my impressions of you, and have figured out about you, but my time is more valuble then yours'. Besides, why belabor the obvious when anyone with a brain who reads you figures it out anyway? You have a nice day Flintie, and you keep on writing your screeds in my honor, you hear? Thanks for sharing, buttercup; and have a nice day.
Weasel you pea-brained leftist You have something "figured out"? That's laughable coming from an idiot like you.
