Save the Republic, Rush Limbaugh!


Don’t let them away with it. Bring down the curtain on the ‘When We All Vote’ scam

Save the Republic, Rush Limbaugh!

“Next Four Months Will Be War Like You’ve Never Seen, Dems Will Try To Keep Economy Shut Down”.

In other words, a horror story come true: The Coronavirus will last right up to Election Day.

But you can Save the Republic, Rush Limbaugh!

You’re the guy behind the golden EIB mic. You’re the beloved host of America’s No. 1 Talk Radio Show with more than 10-12 million devoted listeners tuned in to your every word.

“The American left and the Democrat Party is going to do its best to keep this economy shut down, to extend and expand that shutdown — and blow up their own country’s jobs — just to ensure that Trump loses. (RealClearPolitics, May 12, 2020)

“They shut down and lock down, and they want to remain locked down until July or August or whatever — and nothing’s gonna open and nothing is gonna happen. And they fully expect the red states to sit there and essentially pay for it.  Folks, I’m gonna tell you, these next four months are gonna be a veritable war like we have not seen.”

Don’t stop there, el Rushbo, carry it through to a “Rest of the Story” end.

While the Coronavirus threat’s got the inhabitants of the entire nation on lockdown, Michelle Obama and fading film star Tom Hanks are about to pull off the biggest coup d’état in American history.

It’s called delivering the next Democrat president to the masses by forcing the November 3, 2020 Election a total mail-in-vote—one that’s not only the latest Hollywood horror movie come true—but in essence the final act of the Obama-Clinton Total Transformation of America routine.

In other words, while the general population of America is confined to their homes, Tony Fauci-ordered to wear masks and social distance, Michelle and Tom are stealing the outcome of the 2020 election in a far more meaningful way than the Russians ever did.

They’re cunningly hiding their coup d’état under a bogus initiative called ‘When We All Vote’ with the unmitigated gall to describe it as “non-profit” and “NON-PARTISAN”!

Tommy and Mich, you understand are completely “NON-PARTISAN” in EVERY THING they do!

This deadly duo hide behind powerful titles, Obama is former First Lady, Hanks, an Academy Award winning Hollywood star who came out of his Coronavirus quarantine in Thailand — to jump into ‘When We All Vote’ initiative within days!

On the silver screen, Hanks was last seen as ‘Mr. Rogers’. In real life he’s out of C-19 quarantine Michelle Obama’s famous sidekick.

We should all be afraid—very afraid—of their ability to turn the tables on a President Donald Trump-led America, el Rushbo.

When the every day news for the last three months running has been saturation COVID-19 coverage, and with only a handful of media outlets covering what Obama and Mr. Rogers are up to, this is what America is up against:

“Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson appearing on Michelle Obama’s “couch party” event. YouTube
Former first lady Michelle Obama was joined by Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson for her voter registration “couch party” event to stump for mail-in voting as the coronavirus pandemic has shifted the debate on safe voting practices. (New York Post, April 21, 2020)

“Hanks and Wilson, who were the first celebrities to announce they had tested positive for the virus, took part in Obama’s Monday evening When We All Vote #CouchParty event along with thousands of volunteers and supporters who joined in from their own homes.

“Hanks and Wilson are co-chairs of the group alongside Obama, who founded the effort.

“Obama spoke by phone to attendees about the importance of voting being accessible to all, especially through voting-by-mail, given the dangers of the pandemic. The former first lady also noted that she and husband Barack Obama have sent in their ballots for “every election for the last decade.”

Guess those election photo ops of the Obamas voting were courtesy of ‘Fake News’!

“Voting should never, ever be difficult and it should never be a partisan issue,” she continued. (NY Post)

“Wilson echoed Obama’s sentiments, saying, “We as Americans and as voters should be able to request the options that work for us.”

“We don’t want to have to risk our health or our vote. So to make that easy, mail-in ballot, absentee ballot, I think that’s a really great compromise,” the actress added.

“Hanks added that even during a health emergency, “our democratic principles mean that I want to vote [even if] I’m sick.”

“In November, we need to have every voice heard. It’s important,” Wilson chimed in.”

Legions of dead people, ironically many of them the elderly tragically killed off by C-19 in nursing homes, millions of illegals and Democrat surrogates ready to vote multiple times is the takeaway of the coming Mail-In Vote.

Don’t let them away with it.  Bring down the curtain on the ‘When We All Vote’ scam,  kick the main actors off the stage and put up the words most Americans want to see: “THE END”.

The ball’s in your court, Mr. Limbaugh.

Kick it right back at the election-stealing Democrats ASAP!

Democrats Try to Eliminate Proof of Who You Are to Vote


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted May 13, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

 

Just when you thought it could not get any more corrupt, the Democrats have demonstrated to the world that they are beyond all morality, ethics, and are outright corrupt. Tucked inside House Democrats’ new coronavirus bill is language that would create a loophole in states’ voter ID requirements, allowing people to cast ballots without having to prove who they are.

After accusing Russia of influencing the 2016 election, they are trying to sneak in open-season for total corruption.  It has long been a joke in Chicago where all the dead manage to vote Democratic in elections and the number of votes always exceeds the population.

Now they want votes to be counted with no proof of who you are, alive, dead, an illegal alien not paying taxes or a tourist from Europe, or perhaps even from Mars with green or grey skin.

I warned that the 2020 election will be the MOST CORRUPT in history. The Democrats have proven this is beyond question. The problem they are unleashing is if they have so corrupted the election to overthrow Trump, they will ignore the political bonfire of all time. We will be looking at massive civil unrest and there will be blood in the streets. If the Democrats think that they can get away with that, all civility will come to an end. That would encourage civil war.

I have warned that I had good DIRECT information that those associated with Bill Gates sold out in January because of a coming “virus” that had not even made a blip on the news. This is not about vaccines to save the world, perhaps ID2020 to control the world, but nobody gives a shit if we live or die. I have VERY GOOD sources and this has been about removing Trump BECAUSE they see him as the person stopping their dream of reconstructing the world economy to their New Green World Order. They will do absolutely everything they possibly can.

Fauci just told the senate people will die needlessly if we open up too soon. He is preaching the Gates Agenda to destroy the economy to rebuild this in their dream. Of course, all the left press is in on this coup. The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, are all conspiring to try to keep the country locked down to destroy as much as possible in hopes the people will overthrow Trump and then we will all openly accept mandatory vaccines from Bill Gates. I wonder how much it cost him to buy the whole bunch? Did he get a discount as a package deal? They have certainly turned against the people for a price.

We are in for the battle of our lives. They win and there will be little left that we will perhaps remember only in films if they do not burn them to hide history. They will NOT be successful in conquering the world. There is resistance rising globally. We will use Socrates to identify the safe havens.

This year, 2020, was our timing target. It was exactly 86 years to this decline and fall of the Roman Empire. 2020 is exactly 86 years from 1934 and the New Deal when they also confiscated gold. Welcome to the New Green Deal. They are back! This time they want a digital currency to control everything.

Insider v Outsider


Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized

Re-Posted May 12, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Larry Summers said to Yannis Varoufakis: “ ‘There are two kinds of politicians,’ he said: ‘insiders and outsiders. The outsiders prioritize their freedom to speak their version of the truth. The price of their freedom is that they are ignored by the insiders, who make the important decisions. The insiders, for their part, follow a sacrosanct rule: never turn against other insiders and never talk to outsiders about what insiders say or do. Their reward? Access to inside information and a chance, though no guarantee, of influencing powerful people and outcomes.’” Source: Yanis Varoufakis’ book, “Adults in the Room.”

Larry Summers lives in an isolated ivory elitist tower. He does not talk to people outside his world because he sees them as unintelligent and beneath his status. The Bangkok Post wrote, “He can’t help his arrogance. Most people shouldn’t take it personally. They should just consider it a direct reflection of his insecurity.”

I hate to tell him, but many people he would consider “insiders” have often come to me asking if he is just out of touch with reality. I see many of these people who just talk among themselves and conclude this is the way the world should work. I regard Bill Gates as one of these arrogant elitists who remains clueless about the economy. Adam Smith’s invisible hand is beyond their contemplation. They think the world economy is just a set of lego blocks to play with and restructure the economy as they see fit. The world economy has evolved; it was not created nor designed in some planning room

Netanyahu of Israel Suggests Microchipping Kids & Mandatory Vaccines Begin


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy

Re-Posted May 11, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I just do not know if we are living in the middle of a B-SciFi Movie with a plot that is just absurd. Netanyahu suggested the Health Ministry should use new technology to help Israel adjust to its new routine as the state is lifting the coronavirus lockdown by micro-chipping all children. “That is, technology that has not been used before and is allowed under the legislation we shall enact.”

One would think that after what the Jews went through in Germany and having to wear stars so everyone knew they were Jewish, you would think someone would say – hey! Wait a minute! We seem to be repeating the events of the rise of Nazi Germany from burning books to suppress dissent to demanding we are all micro-chipped.

People ask me does history really repeat with a cyclical beat?

On 10 May 1933, the students burned upwards of 25,000 volumes of “un-German” books in the square at the State Opera, Berlin, thereby presaging an era of uncompromising state censorship. Jewish badges  were introduced in 1939.

I hate to tell you, but we are exactly at 86 years from the book burning. Does that mean we get the mico-chipping in 2025?

Meanwhile, Denmark’s parliament unanimously passed an emergency coronavirus law which gives health authorities powers to force testing, treatment and quarantine with the backing of the police. Clearly, the Gates agenda is spreading to pass compulsory laws for his vaccines or you will remain in home prison for the rest of your life denied the right to earn income?

A reader writes from Poland about the efforts that have been going on there to force vaccines as well:

Hi Martin. Thank you for your ceaseless efforts to bring the truth to us via you blog – you really are the voice in the wilderness. I wanted to check that you are aware that on 6th June there is an Anti-Vaccination protest arranged in the Polish Capital, Warsaw. This follows attempts to take the Health Minister to court, and Microsoft announcement to build a Data Center here in Poland. This all reminds me of a Robert Kennedy speech – “There is a Chinese curse which says ‘May he live in interesting times.’ ” Your blog is my first item to be checked each day. Thank you so much for your invaluable work.

Gates has no compassion for society. He has poured everything into this and is not giving people a choice. He is working to make this a a dictatorship type decree on a global basis. This is why they are so intent upon removing Trump for they will then achieve their goals. Similar rules are being imposed in California on a state-wide basis.

None of these politicians are bothering to look at the data which proves this virus has been tiny in comparison to the flu. Why are politicians continuing with these scare tactics and refuse to look at this virus as no big deal? Just follow the money!

Mirror Mirror on the Wall – They Are Trying to Make Us Socialists After All


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted May 10, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

As we head into the end of this 51.6-year cycle which peaks in 2032, I have warned that historically, this is when we get the most tyrannical moves on the part of governments. They are losing power in a Private Wave and as such they become very aggressive. This is what super-charges markets during this last two 8.6-year waves so everything is on schedule.

Note that the wave which peaked in 1929 was also a Private Wave. Adolf Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison, where he dictated Mein Kampf to his fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess. On December 20th, 1924, having served only nine months, Hitler was released. This came during the last two waves and was the rise in civil discontent in Europe. The rise in socialism in the United States came at the midpoint of this Private Wave.

We are facing what I call a very dangerous Corporate-Political-Fascist Future. The Nazis burned books to prevent people from disagreeing with their philosophy. Here we have YouTube, Facebook, and other “social media” removing anything that also disagrees with their philosophy. CNN refuses to accept advertisements from Trump just out of sheer tyrannical hatred. This is all the very same Fascist state of mind, yet what I find really amazing, these people call Trump FASCIST, which it is their actions which are suppressing free speech in the very same identical manner as the Nazi movement although their goals may not be to create some Aryan race, just to help reduce the population indiscriminately.

With the corporations lining up to help create tracing-apps for this pretend Global Heath Threat which is less that 1/10th of one percent, we are entering into a diabolical partnership where our future is being threatened and that of our families by a new type of Corporate-Political-Fascism that has never before been witnessed on such a grand scale. Hitler’s “Thousand Year Reich” lasted only twelve years before getting destroyed. Still, Germany was one of the world’s leading economies, which meant that many companies were more than happy to do business with the Nazis. We have entered that same unholy type of partnership and this is very unsettling. Some companies just line-up gleefully to help tyranny.

No doubt, those in the technology world assisting governments to be able to track every person are too blinded by the money to look beyond that to a new world they are helping to create. This becomes a sad day for our basic human and civil rights. The markets are our only guide, for as Socrates looks at some of these companies conspiring against the people, they do not look to be surviving their own decisions post-2022.


In January 2016, we published the start of the Revolutionary Cycle. We warned that this was due right here with the turn in the Economic Confidence Model – January 18, 2020. We should expect the markets to reflect this trend and this is where Socrates comes into play. It is the only such system monitoring everything and correlating it on a global scale. There are not enough analysts in the entire world to cover all the markets Socrates has been monitoring. This will be the only tool to identify where to turn to and where to run away from even on a company by company basis. This is NOT my personal opinion. There is no human intervention in writing any of these reports on over 1,000 instruments every day.

So while there are corporations eager to assist in the demise of our way of life joining the trend of fake news and Corporate-Political-Fascism partnership, Socrates is the counter-trend technology to expose their corruption and their demise.

The incompatibility of socialism and liberty


Nothing happens unless The State makes it happen

Klaus Rohrich image

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—May 7, 2020

The incompatibility of socialism and liberty

So, how do you like your free, 60-day trial of socialism so far? Yeah, me neither, and to think that this is just a free sample, imagine what it could look like when you’ve enrolled in the full program? Ancient famous sayings aren’t famous because they’re ancient; they’re famous because they’re true. Hence, the old adage about the human nature/socialism cocktail making you puke at the end of the night is invariably true.

But, I’m getting ahead of myself.

Nothing happens unless The State makes it happen

What we, in the so-called ‘Free World’ are now experiencing as a “temporary” state of affairs, is the permanent state of affairs in a large part of the rest of the world, particularly countries that fall under the socialist banner. The people of China, with a population somewhere on the order of 1.48 billion, have been living under these (and worse) conditions since WWII, as do the people of North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. But you get the picture: All are so-called socialist countries and all have the following in common:

Philosophically, socialism doesn’t believe in personal responsibility. Thus, socialist states require coercion to gain obedience from the people. The state, i.e. the Politburo, the Reichstag, The Provisional Revolutionary Government or even your ‘elected’ neighborhood representative on City Council can vote any damn thing they want, often with outcomes diametrically opposite those intended, Socialist jurisdictions are often touted as models the West should emulate.

Sure. Anyone here want to live like the average Cuban? Anyone? Show of hands. Okay; well how about the average Venezuelan? Or the Average Chinese or Ethiopian peasant? Didn’t think there would be any takers.

The harder the brand of socialism, then the harsher the consequences. Both the Soviet Union and Maoist China were governed by lofty five-year goals, none of which they achieved, but despite obvious evidence to the contrary, they chose to ignore the famines.

Millions of peasants starved because of the falsification of food production reports in both the USSR and China, reporting outcomes in line or above those demanded by The Party. The bureaucracy accepted the reports as gospel, while millions of Russian and Chinese peasants starved between the 1930s and the 1970s.

Western media couldn’t be bothered to report it. The New York Times’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Walter Duranty, bureau chief for the Times from the mid-twenties to the mid-thirties, didn’t seem to think the famine in Ukraine that took nearly 8 million souls fell into the category of “All the news that’s fit to print,” the Times’ motto since 1897.

And since we’re back in America, that ‘neighborhood representative’ mentioned above is casting votes for programs and tax expenditures that most of us don’t even know about or even care. But every vote that increases the overall size and scale of government is one vote closer to living under the most extreme form of socialism.

Let’s face it, socialism’s a really hard sell no matter how you package it. Socialism can only thrive and survive if it’s disguised as something else, like ‘fairness,’ or social justice.’

Under socialism the state controls the individual absolutely

I’m sure we all agree that there are substances not exactly beneficent to one’s health. After all, who among us hasn’t had an adult beverage or any of the other vices, some of which are taxed by governments as so-called ‘sin taxes’ and represent large volumes of revenue. Alcohol and cigarettes come to mind. What better way to impose “morality” on the population than to enact so-called ‘sin taxes’ on alcohol, tobacco, drugs and other non-necessities that society deems ‘fun?’

A libertarian might say, ‘It’s my body I can do as I want with it.’ (for some reason a lot of women say this to thunderous applause.) But if the government provides full health care and finds out about the so-called ‘deviant’ and ‘risky’ behavior of its’ citizens doesn’t it make sense that government should take control? It’s not like anyone hasn’t attempted to control our behavior in the guise of ‘protecting our health.’

It was just seven years ago when New York City enacted a bylaw that forbade the sale of sugar-laced soft drinks in quantities larger than 16 oz. The ban applied only to restaurants, movie theatres, drive-ins, etc. In effect,  the entire hospitality industry. It took just over a year for the New York State Supreme Court to rule that the Government exceeded the scale of its authority and nullified the smiley-face fascist law.

There is nothing that is free

The sweet tune of socialism, like that of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, promises all the things that you lack and many others enjoy so effortlessly, if you just adhere to the precepts of socialism: “From each according to his ability; to each according to his needs.”

So, the only question is who determines one’s needs and who determines one’s abilities? Those are basically simple answers; both the peoples’ needs and abilities are determined by the party or the current cadre running the party.

That’s why so many wealthy politicians and celebrities are all in the can for socialism because they are at the top of the heap and it doesn’t affect them. Has anyone ever asked America’s most famous socialist why he’s now a multi-millionaire, when his first paid job as mayor of some Podunk hamlet came to him at age 40?

I’m sure through reflection we will find many instances of prominent politicians who went off to pasture as multi-millionaires. And it had nothing to do with wise investments and prudent money management, it was more about money laundering as in instances where the Government of Russia paid a former American president $500,000 to make a brief speech.

I’m always struck by the poor Canadian boobs who brag about our “free healthcare” system and tout it as the best in the world. Except when it isn’t. But hey, we’re spending more per capita than a majority of G-20 nations and our outcomes are nothing to write home about, given that Canada ranks 30th in the world in providing quality healthcare.

Socialism is like a down-filled bed…

…that turns out to be stuffed with chicken feathers and teeming with Cimex lectularius, one doesn’t really feel the effect until it’s too late and the itching and bleeding starts. Gotta admit, that mattress was comfy…for a while.

Politicians who offer to solve all the nation’s problems are a dime a dozen. But, has anyone ever stopped to think what good throwing Bazillions of dollars at a problem somehow solves it? In most cases there were unexpected consequences, some good, some bad, but in the vast majority our government is making decisions based on our eventual acceptance of socialism to show that we are a virtuous and ‘inclusive’ people.

Somehow translated in to the light of day, what improvements have any of these Grand Experiments we’ve conducted over the past 70 years produced?

When I left Meridian, Mississippi in the summer of 1969,  I took one last drive through the black part of town and saw tarpaper shacks, outhouses, barefoot kids and bare board siding. I returned to that neighborhood in the fall of 2013 and the houses hadn’t changed one iota, except for the large flat-screen TVs.

Need I remind anyone that in 1964 Democrat President Lyndon Johnson, ushered in his Great Society, which would forever eradicate poverty among Americans. In those days unemployment among blacks was nearly one in five.

The employment numbers among blacks in America didn’t really begin to accelerate until the policies of the current president took effect, meaning all those feel-good, Head-start, Neighborhood Youth corps and other programs for which trillions were wasted didn’t change a thing. That’s socialism at work.

The Peasants Are Revolting – California Rebels Defy Comrade Gavin Newsom…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on May 1, 2020 by 

The Rebel Alliance is pushing back against the insufferable and silly rules of the little blue dictators hiding amid their governor mansions. Yes comrades, the pesky red subversives have taken to the street and realized ‘hey wait, there are more of us, than them‘…

“Have Tar, Need Feathers” – If the COVID Compliance Ministry tries to stop the uprisings, there could be trouble. As a result, some of the little Blue Dictators are retreating to their safe space:

CALIFORNIA – […] Reports on Friday estimated that there were more than 500 people who turned out in Huntington Beach to protest after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) closed Orange County beaches in response to massive gatherings last weekend that went against stay-at-home orders.

Orange County had previously opened its beaches, and even after the large gatherings drew a rebuke from Newsom, the city of Newport had voted to keep them open.

Protesters on Friday were heard chanting “freedom” and “no more Newsom.” Some carried signs lamenting the need for a hair cut, while others held signs calling to reopen businesses so people could get back to work.

Police officers mounted on horses were present to control the crowd, with most, if not all protesters, reportedly violating social distancing guidelines of six feet of separation.

Newsom said on Friday the state is “days, not weeks” away from reopening, but cautioned people to stay home until the all-clear. (read more)

The gathering was substantially bigger than the protest on Main Street two weeks ago. Huntington Beach Police Department spokeswoman Angie Bennett said there were no arrests or injuries, and estimated the crowd at about 2,500 people.

Julian Brudnick, 28, of Yorba Linda waved a black flag that had a snake on it and read “Don’t Tread on Me.”

“I think it all comes down to the same thing, which is personal freedom and liberty, and not sacrificing freedom for security,” Brudnick said. “I haven’t seen this many people not wearing a mask. I go into Home Depot, you cough or sneeze and people give you a dirty look. What they can make us do to each other is unbelievable.”  (LA Times)

Hey, we’ve been piling into crowded supermarkets for seven weeks buying food, yet for some reason if we go into a store to buy sneakers it will create an explosion of the virus… According to the Blue logic, apparently the danger is the type of purchasing you make.

Scratch a leftist, find a fascist


One doesn’t have to have a doctorate in quantum physics to understand all the utopian socialist fantasies can only add up to one thing: a culture of fascism, control and coercion

Klaus Rohrich image

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—April 30, 2020

Scratch a leftist, find a fascist

Dennis Prager currently has a series of videos explaining the basic difference between those on the left side of the political spectrum and those on the right. While his analyses of the difference between the two sides is relatively accurate, it’s a tad too kind for my taste.

Prager correctly states that a prime difference between so-called progressives and conservatives is that progressives are all about the collective, while conservatives believe in the individual and personal choice.

I see the difference in much starker terms: the former involves coercion by the state, while the latter involves individual responsibility.

Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, the Kim dynasty, Pol Pot, et al have killed more people in the name of serving the greater good

As I recently wrote in these pages, here the 1920s provide a good example of where the various forms of socialism that are now becoming all the rave will lead us. It might be simplistic to say socialism is responsible for more deaths and suffering than the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918-1920, but the math works.

Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, the Kim dynasty, Pol Pot, et al have killed more people in the name of serving the greater good and achieving a perfect society than the last pandemic, which eradicated up to 5% of the global population.

What’s so puzzling is that every new crop of socialists believes that if only socialism was implemented properly, everyone would be happy. What they do not understand is that socialism’s fuel is its coercive power to control the individual. No one really wants to actually live under socialism, except those who would govern and ‘correctly’ administer the principles of socialism in order to achieve the perfect society.

This takes place in several ways.

First, individuals are made dependent on the state for their basic needs like food shelter and healthcare. They are also controlled through what amounts to social credit, rewarding correct attitudes and behaviors while punishing those who do not toe the line. If you doubt me, check out how Trump supporters are treated.

Failures of socialism

Second, for socialism to succeed there is an ever-present requirement for an enemy, which is an important element in directing revolutionary fervor to the correct goals, rather than allow for reflection that could result in uncomfortable questions. For the Bolsheviks the enemy was the Czar and wealthy bourgeoisie, for the Nazis it was communists and Jews. For Mao it was the liberal bourgeois. Cambodia’s Pol Pot had a thing for intellectuals and the educated. As a result some 1.8 million ‘bad elements’ were sacrificed for the greater good. There isn’t one socialist state that doesn’t have a prime enemy towards whom to wage the ‘struggle’ for social justice.

Third, socialism also relies heavily on the educational system to swell their ranks. But that only makes sense, given that young people generally tend to be naïve and easily influenced. For the past 50 years socialism has wormed its way into school curricula at an alarming level, and all under the guise of ‘fairness,’ equality or social justice. While this is a long-term process, it also seems to be the most effective, judging by the attitudes of most young adults today.

So, after examining the failures of socialism in a rational discussion, if you still find yourself yearning for social justice, just take a minute to examine what socialism has actually achieved over its 103-years in operation.

Russia collapsed under communism’s contradictions.

The Nazis’ ‘Thousand Year Empire’ couldn’t last twenty years.

Yes, Cuba has free healthcare. But the standard of living for the average Cuban isn’t much better than it was 62 years ago under Fulgencio Batista.

China’s brand of communism is likely the most dangerous and virulent. The Chinese Communist Party absolutely controls the actions of every man, woman and child under its control, to the point of presiding over a lethal global pandemic with only the goal of shifting the blame.

Anyone who hasn’t lived under a slimy rock for the past two decades must surely be aware that in the 1950s Venezuela was the fourth wealthiest nation in the world and today is one of the world’s poorest.

What do all these socialist jurisdictions have in common? Without fail, they all wind up consisting of an uber-wealthy ruling class and an ever-increasing poverty-stricken populace. This is an indisputable fact, even China, whose 1.43 billion people constitute over 18% of the world’s population, can have millions of millionaires among the Party cadre, while the other billion or so become tools of the state. (don’t confuse my focus on socialism with acceptance of the rampant corruption in western governments—that’s for another column)

The point of this is to realize that one doesn’t have to have a doctorate in quantum physics to understand all the utopian socialist fantasies can only add up to one thing: a culture of fascism, control and coercion.

Advice for the Church: Better Call Saul


It’s time for America’s religious leaders to come out of the closet and gather together to save freedom — and lives — in America. What will it take for the scales to fall from their eyes? The freedom they save may be their own

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—April 30, 2020

Advice for the Church: Better Call Saul

A local pastor is walking dozens of miles to raise funds for the poor and hungry, many of whom have been created by the government’s COVID-19 economic lockdown. That’s a nice thing to do. But his own church in the Washington, D.C. area remains essentially closed, except for “private” displays of Christianity. Some of his parishioners entered into the church to fill the pews with pictures of the people who used to be there. That’s sad.

It is America 2020 and the police are showing up to arrest ministers of the Gospel – at least the few willing to challenge the modern-day Caesar.

Early Christians were willing to be imprisoned and killed for their faith

Early Christians were willing to be imprisoned and killed for their faith. A popular Netflix show, “Better Call Saul,” is about a lawyer who represented a drug dealer. The early church has their own Saul. In the Acts of the Apostles, we learn about a persecutor of the early church named Saul who had a Damascus Road conversion after experiencing Christ and was also known as Paul the Apostle. The reading is that “something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again.”

With scales on their eyes, today’s Christians for the most part seem afraid to challenge secular authorities and various “executive orders” about how they should worship. They have resorted to drive-in or drive-by “worship services,” so they don’t get out of their cars. This is a dramatic perversion of Christ’s directive to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. Caesar, the State, should not dictate to the churches. The State does not own the churches. But many Christians today act as if the government is in charge.

This country was born in a revolution over global taxes imposed by the King of England, as well as rejection of an official state-imposed national religion. Freedom of religion and of the press was supposed to be guaranteed in our First Amendment. Yet, as a result of the coronavirus, freedom of the press has been guaranteed and freedom of religion has not. Most pastors, preachers, and priests acquiesce to their government masters and their demands for empty pews.

On the national level, unfortunately, our elected representatives go along with the emergence of this totalitarian state.  Attorney General William Barr has issued a memo on “Balancing Public Safety with the Preservation of Civil Rights,” which is too little too late. Our God-given rights are not to be sacrificed on the altar of what unelected “health experts” have to say abut how we live our lives.

We need more than a memo, Mr. Barr

We need more than a memo, Mr. Barr.

Conservative media fret over the Deep State’s frame-up of Lt. General Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security advisor, and that was truly an outrage. But the rights of the people in general have been stripped away, too, for months. What they did to Flynn they are doing to all of us, in a much quicker time frame. As Elon Musk has commented, they have taken away our freedom and subjected us to a form of house arrest. He calls it “fascist.” It’s also communistic.

“FREE AMERICA NOW” he says. It’s time for our religious leaders to follow his example.

“Better Call Saul” is advice they should be given and take.

In the story of Saul, we are told that a light from heaven flashed and a voice said to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” Saul asked, “Who are you, sir?” The voice replied, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. But rise; go into the city, and you will be told what to do.” William Barclay’s Daily Study Bible refers to this passage as “the most famous conversion story in history.” Barclay explains, “We must try as far as we can to enter into Paul’s mind. When we do, we will see that this is not a sudden conversion but a sudden surrender.” Eventually, the scales fell from his eyes.

Grass-roots Christians are crying out for leadership.  President Trump recommends various on-line services every Sunday but this is really no substitute for the ability of people to worship at a church or synagogue of their choice.

At various locations around the country, pastors are rebelling in the name of Jesus Christ

At various locations around the country, pastors are rebelling in the name of Jesus Christ. Some are recommending that their parishioners practice social distancing and even to wear masks when they come to church. But that is not good enough for the mostly liberal governors in whose states where they live and their police forces which arrive with citations and arrest warrants.

We are seeing persecution of the Christian Church in America and too many conservative Christians are silent. Many pastors and preachers act like chickens, afraid of the secular authorities, and then act like sheep on the way to the slaughter.

Today, many pastors, preachers, and priests have been too quick to surrender to the State. They are blinded by the legal-sounding razzle-dazzle of “emergencies” and “executive orders,” with no basis in the Constitution. In Washington State, the situation is so bizarre that local authorities are providing beer and cigarettes (and until recently marijuana) to keep addicts in quarantine.

Marijuana has become the Soma of Brave New World, in order to keep the people satisfied.

Since our media enjoy protected status under various emergency or executive orders

For those who didn’t read the Aldous Huxley classic, Spark Notes provides this information: “Soma is a drug that is handed out for free to all the citizens of the World State. In small doses, soma makes people feel good. In large doses, it creates pleasant hallucinations and a sense of timelessness.”

I’m not saying our ministers are dope fiends. But if termination of religious services is not the tipping point, what about the cancellation of elections?

“The Democratic Presidential Primary rescheduled for June 23, 2020 has been cancelled” proclaims the New York State Board of Elections. A left-wing progressive group, the Institute for Public Accuracy (IPA), is protesting this decision as an exercise in one-man rule by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. But where is the rest of America? Where are Republicans and independents rising up in protest?

Since our media enjoy protected status under various emergency or executive orders, they could care less. They will continue to swoon over Cuomo, who is assuming the role of pastor and care-giver. Never mind the state lawwhich relegated the elderly to coronavirus death camps known as nursing homes.

It’s time for America’s religious leaders to come out of the closet and gather together to save freedom—and lives—in America. What will it take for the scales to fall from their eyes? The freedom they save may be their own.

Are Far-Left Democrats Anti-Religion?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Apr 7, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Do these Democrats who are in league with those trying to undermine our economy and future for their personal power have any conscience whatsoever? Do they even believe in God or just money?

HJ

ANSWER: They are true Marxists who will NEVER publicly admit their beliefs. The only way to determine that is to judge them by their actions. The House Democrats changed the oath someone must swear and removed the words, “So Help Me God.” (See New York Times: May 11, 2019) They rebuffed objections from the Republicans that those words have been in there since the nation was formed.

The leading Democratic Senator from California, Dianne Feinstein has discriminated against Catholic judges being appointed. She has been against religion for decades.

You cannot be a Socialist and religious at the same time. I personally do not understand this but the far-left Democrats are also the most anti-religious people you will ever meet. They are in full agreement with Marx that it is just the opium for the masses.
