This is a rerun of an article written on May 9, 2013. We need to be reminded periodically about what we are dealing with:
All
over the internet, YouTube.com and talk radio, you hear of Obama
turning this nation into a Socialist regime. There is no denying that he
has signed numerous executive orders which drastically conflict with
the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, such as the National
Defense Authorization Act, which allows the president to arrest and
detain US citizens indefinitely without a trial! Say goodbye to
the Posse Comatatus Act of 1878, which protects American citizens from
military forces on US soil! So many of the protections our forefathers
set in place, which many also bled and died for, are being eradicated
right before our eyes.
This shouldn't come as a
shock to us, since Obama openly states he believes "the Constitution is
flawed and needs to be rewritten."
We need to examine Socialism in other
countries, in order to better appreciate what we have had in America and
understand what is rapidly being taken away from us. I have included brief
summaries for the following Socialist regimes:
PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA: Working
conditions: Using a teacher’s job as
an example, since it is considered to be a midline, or “middle class”
job: a
teacher’s work week is 60 hours, six days a week. They earn equivalent
to
$200.00 per month. Economy: Statistics show that China’s GDP (gross
domestic
product) is only second to the United States. That may be the case, but
during
the fall of 2012, China was rationing corn and rice to citizens, so what
does
that really say for their economy? Sure their trade through slave labor
is
high, but if you can’t feed your citizens, what’s the use? Hong Kong
historian
Frank Dikotter estamates that in 2010 45 million people died from
starvation,
being overworked and from state violence. There is widespread
cannibalism
described as “on a scale unprecedented in the history of the 20th
century (en.wikipedia.org). Freedoms: There aren't many. The government
tells you how many children you
can have – one child! Forced abortions happen on a wide scale in China.
The
government regulates religion and is basically atheist. The registered
“Christian church” is very regulated and only part of the Bible can be
taught.
The underground church is at risk of arrest and imprisonment, if caught,
under which circumstances many die. Among 107 nations listed on suicide
stats (en.wikipedia.org), China is #7 for
the highest rate. If you don’t commit suicide, there is actually
too great a possibility that the government will kill you. Mao Zedong
killed 49
million of his own citizens from 1943 – 1976. God only knows how many
are dying
today. Does this information inspire you to want to live in China?
China’s population is
overworked and working conditions can be described as “sweatshop.”
LAO PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC
REPUBLIC: About 67% of the population
is Buddhist, only 1.5% Christians. Amnesty International accuses Laos of
restricting religion in their country and for human rights violations. In
October 1999, 30 young people were
arrested for attempting to display posters calling for peaceful economic,
political and social change in Laos. Five of them were arrested and given 10
year sentences, one was killed and the whereabouts of another three are
unknown. Laos troops reportedly raped and killed four Christian Hmong women in
2011, per the Center for Public Policy Analysis. The CPPA also reports other Christians and Buddhists are being
persecuted in Laos. In December 2012, a local activist Sombath Somphone was
snatched from a street in the city of Vientiane. The government of Laos has been accused of
genocide against the Hmong population and killing about one-quarter of them.
Does this information inspire you to favor Socialism and desire to live in Laos?
SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF
VIETNAM: Only government
approved
religions are allowed in Vietnam. The vast majority of Vietnamese people
practice ancestor worship in some form or another (en.Wikipedia.org).
Although
Wikipedia does not report it, Voice of the Martyrs reported Christians
are
beaten, their property is destroyed and they are imprisoned on a regular
basis,
even killed in Vietnam. Since 1997, Vietnam has extensively regulated
public
internet access; the country is basically in “lockdown.” Malnutrition is
common throughout Vietnam, although en.wikipedia.org reports it is only
common in rural
areas. There is no real freedom of speech in
Vietnam and there is widespread political corruption there. How do I know this?
I know people who fled Vietnam, who were commonly referred to as “boat people”
after the Vietnam War, and who still have relatives living in Vietnam. The
nation is still very much poverty stricken, unlike
what you read on propagandized news media in the US, such as Wikipedia and
Yahoo blog answers. It is common place for you to have to bribe postal workers
in order to receive your packages in Vietnam. There is much persecution and
slave-type labor. It is a Socialist regime, so wouldn’t you like to
live there?
REPUBLIC OF CUBA: According to a US State Department report,
as much as 80% of the population practice Santeria or Yoruba. Santeria is syncratized with the goddess Ochun.
Yoruba constitutes the practice of idolatry and divination. After the Communist
revolution in 1959, Cuba restricted religious practice, which led to the
persecution of Catholics and protestants. After the revolution, approximately
80% of Catholic priests and protestants fled Cuba for the US. In accordance
with traditional Marxist-Leninist ideology, the state adopted a policy of
promoting atheism. The Committees for the Defense of the Revolution said, “It
is not good for your children to go to church.” Studies appeared that linked
religions with mental illness in Cuba. Cuba became more conciliatory toward religion after the fall of
the Sovient Union. The government now recognizes the right of citizens to
practice their own religion within the framework of respect for the law. By the
early 1990s, however, after 30 years of state atheism, Cuban society has become almost totally secularized
(en.wikipedia.org). Fidel Castro banned private education institutions
and he
created an entirely state-operated system. Much of what has just been
written was
derived from en.wikipedia.org. What is not mentioned in the Wikipedia
report is
the fact that the citizens of Cuba risk their lives in attempts to flee
the
country, just as the citizens of Mexico do. Is anyone trying to flee the
US?
Well, historically people have not tried to flee, but have enjoyed their
freedoms and commerce in America. Of late, with the economy spiraling
downward and
ongoing takeover conspiracies, people are now literally fleeing the US
and businesses are taking their production elsewhere. Wikipedia
portrays progressive improvement in Cuba, which is not truth in
commentary. In
fact, Wikipedia has been what can be termed as “hijacked” over the last
couple
of years, which seems to coincide with rampant internet censorship. The
Orlando Sentinel put out a more truthful article on May 6, 2013,
which included some of the following facts: The Castro brothers have rounded up political prisoners,
torturing them, and detaining them for years with no charges filed and no
access to a criminal trial. The report went on to state that the US can no longer
point accusations at Cuba, because the US has become the worst human rights
violator, first under George W Bush and now under Barack Obama. More than half
the 166 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have no connection to terrorist activity
and have been cleared to leave, but they are still being detained indefinitely
at “Gitmo.” The remaining 80 prisoners have been held for up to 12 years with
no charges filed against them and no opportunity to defend themselves. I
believe we can say that these conditions are just the beginning. The reason is
further outlined below:
Officially, there are four
Socialist countries in the world. There were formerly 25 Socialist nations
from 1922 – 1992 (en.wikipedia.org).
It doesn’t appear that Socialism is very popular among citizens throughout the
world.
The nations described above
provide jobs, housing, medical care and food, when it is available, to their
citizens. We need to remember that
prisons do the same. Their governments are also guilty of mass murder of their own citizens, working their citizens like slaves, and torturing and killing those who go
against government policies.
The Soviet Union was a
Socialist regime from 1917 – 1991. During that era, Stalin killed
about 62 million of his own citizens
and it
is estimated that Lenin killed about 4 million. Socialism collapsed in
Russia
because, quite simply, it didn’t work. It doesn’t work anywhere. After
citizens
are promised free handouts and that government will “take care of them,”
these governments always, without exception, turn into tyrannies, then
oppress, suppress, enslave and murder people. The government officials
accumulate all the wealth, while the citizens languish. The way it works can be referred
to as “broken campaign promises.” I think we are all too familiar with that line.
This is why the Constitution includes checks and
balances to deter tyranny in America.
Obama, however, believes these documents are obsolete and our Constitution
should be “rewritten.” His statements are on the internet - look them up. His books,
"Dreams from My Father" and "Audacity of Hope" also spell out his
Socialist-Marxist ideology - read them.
It is interesting to note
that even Russia’s Vladimir Putin, during his speech
at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in 2009, warned the US and
Barack Obama, “The US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history
and not exercise excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in
the state’s omnipotence. In the 20th
Century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute. In the long run, this
made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am
sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”
Even powermonger
Putin can see the aggressive “Socialist government takeover” approach of Barack
Obama.
Obama was a member of the Socialist New Party in the 90s, before he
joined the Democratic Party preceding his run for president. Below is an excerpt from an
article taken from AmericanThinker.com, titled Archives prove Obama was a
New Party member, (updated) October 8, 2008.
More evidence from the leftist
publication New Ground 42, in 1995, before Obama had run for office. (emphasis added)
About 50 activists attended
the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting
was to update members on local activities and to hear appeals for NP support
from four potential political candidates. The NP is being very active in
organization building and politics. There are 300 members in Chicago. In order
to build an organizational and financial base the NP is sponsoring house
parties. Locally it has been successful both fiscally
and in building a grassroots base. Nationwide it has resulted in 1000 people
committed to monthly contributions. The
NP's political strategy is to support progressive candidates in elections only
if they have a concrete chance to "win". This has resulted in a
winning ratio of 77 of 110 elections. Candidates must be approved via a NP
political committee. Once approved, candidates must sign a contract with the
NP. The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship
with the NP.
The political entourage
included Alderman Michael Chandler, William Delgado, chief of staff for State
Rep Miguel del Valle, and spokespersons for State Sen. Alice Palmer, Sonya
Sanchez, chief of staff for State Sen. Jesse Garcia, who is running for State Rep in Garcia's District; and Barack Obama, chief of staff
for State Sen. Alice Palmer. Obama is running for Palmer's vacant seat.
Barack Obama entered electoral politics as a member of
a radical Marxist group aimed at gaining control of the Democratic Party in
order to implement a hardline version of Socialism in America. He signed a
contract promising to maintain a visible relationship.
The Word
of God already tells us in the books of Daniel and Revelation that a
world dictator will rule during the great tribulation period. Those with
spiritual eyes can see what is soon coming upon the earth and the
United States is not excluded:
"He
causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads, that no man
might buy or sell save he who had the mark, or the name of the beast
(antichrist), or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has
understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a
man and his number is six hundred, sixty-six" Revelation 13:16-18.
"In
his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give
the honor of the kingdom, but he shall come in peaceably and obtain the
kingdom by flatteries...He shall come in peaceably, even upon the
fattest places of the province and he shall do that which his fathers
have not done, nor his father's fathers; he shall scatter among them the
prey and spoil and riches; yes, and he shall forecast his devices
against the strongholds, even for a time" Daniel 11:21,24.
I
do not say that Obama is the antichrist, although I do find the
parallels interesting here. Even though it has already been revealed
that Obama was placed on the ballot by voter fraud in Illinois, through
his flatteries, too many Americans still refuse to stop supporting the
man. The fact that the antichrist will do what his fathers and his
father's fathers have not done, which correlates with the fact that
Obama is our first black president throughout the history of this
nation, and that Obama even wrote a book about "Dreams from My Father,"
is very compelling. Obama has already spent more than all former
presidents throughout the history of this nation combined, which
coincides with the passage, "he shall scatter among them the prey and
spoil and riches." Last but not least, speaking of the "fattest places
of the province;" you won't find any "fatter" in the world than the
United States of America!
In any event, one thing is certain,
every generation has had their prototype of the antichrist: ...Stalin,
Hitler, Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung...
