Minimum Wage Madness

Posted on August 2, 2019 by zeev1776

“The economic folly of the living wage/minimum wage nonsense is as plain as day to anyone with eyes to see.” – Mark Hendrickson, “Is The Federal Minimum Wage Unconstitutional?” The Blaze, February 5, 2016.

As socialism tragically surges in popularity among the American People, calls for a mandatory minimum wage become louder and more fanatical. Proponents claim that setting a minimum wage helps workers and, thus, the general economy. In truth, a mandatory minimum wage is one of the most damaging economic policies ever devised. More importantly, a mandatory minimum wage is immoral and unconstitutional. This article explains why a mandatory minimum wage is not only economically hazardous, but unethical and unconstitutional.

Economics 101 dictates that the entire concept of a mandatory minimum wage is anathema to economic growth. A set minimum wage leads to economic ruin, not growth. This is common sense. One need only apply basic logic to the question to uncover why a minimum wage can only harm an economy.

A mandatory minimum wage establishes the minimum salary an employer may legally pay his workers. What happens when a business cannot afford to pay all of its workers the increased mandatory wage? Three basic things can happen in this scenario: 1) The business will fire some of its workers because it cannot pay them; 2) the business will close its doors because it cannot meet its obligations; or 3) the business will raise its prices to cope with the sudden mandatory increase in wages, thus shifting the burden to the consumer.

The first two scenarios result in more people being out of work. A person out of work earns $0 an hour. By my calculations, zero is less than $7.25 (the current federal minimum wage) or any other alternative amount. For those fired because their employers cannot afford to pay a mandatory minimum wage, the concept is nothing short of disastrous.

Some of the laid-off workers will of course find new jobs. However, others might be forced to move to another city or commute longer distances, thus burning up more resources for gas, car maintenance, etc., and wasting precious time. And still others might end up on government welfare living off of the tax dollars of other American workers, placing an unnecessary and unfair burden upon them.

At any rate, dictating a minimum wage turns upside-down the lives of numerous people and businesses – the exact opposite of what proponents claim will happen. And even in the best-case scenario noted above, the customers suffer by paying more for their goods. The New American reported in 2016:

“Employment data now coming in from six U.S. cities that have mandated increases in the minimum wage are proving a basic economic law: When the price or cost of something increases, less of it will be demanded.”

Naturally, many customers will stop shopping at these establishments because they cannot afford it. This leaves the businesses in a bind and much more likely to close or downsize. As The New American stated, this is a basic economic cause-and-effect law. It is economics 101. No minimum wage decree can or will work (and, as will be discussed later, it is immoral to mandate one).

Sometimes people support a minimum wage hike because they have fallen for the propaganda that “the 1%” have plenty of money and just aren’t sharing it with workers who “deserve it.” It is a common fallacy to believe that businesses have lots of extra cash just lying around that they could give their employees if they weren’t so greedy. Not so. A 2015 report noted that “the majority of small businesses in the United States barely break even. Out of 28 million small businesses in the United States, 22 million are breaking even. That’s right. Only 6 million of the small businesses in the United States are profitable.”

How are these small businesses – the backbone of our economy – going to pay their employees so much extra money if they are already barely breaking even? The reality is that they will not be able to. They will, as noted, close, downsize, or dramatically raise prices. It’s a no-win situation.

Restaurants Unlimited, a national restaurant chain based out of Seattle, filed for bankruptcy this July, citing as a major factor minimum wage laws. This development came on the heels of the company closing six of its restaurants. In its statement, the company blasted minimum wage laws: “Over the past three years, the company’s profitability has been significantly impacted by progressive wage laws along the Pacific coast that have increased the minimum wage.”

In Emeryville, California, a 2015 minimum wage mandate has similarly wreaked havoc on the local economy. A recent news report stated:

“The ‘Fight for $15’ campaign blazed through Emeryville in 2015. While even activists expressed contentment with the adoption of a regional minimum wage model that established a ‘path’ to $15, the then city council pursued its highest-in-the-nation ‘living wage’ model.

“They argued that this would reduce poverty levels by eliminating reliance on government programs, low-wage earners would be able to live closer to their jobs and an economic ‘multiplier effect’ where these earners would offset any loss in business by contributing back to the local economy.

“Supporters dismissed threats of job loss, impact on youth employment, reduced shifts and increased automation as ‘bluff’ by business owners. . . .”

The article cited a recent study from the Mills College Lokey School that “confirmed” the fears of those initially warning of the detrimental effects of the wage hike. While some new businesses have opened in Emeryville since the law went into effect, many have closed while those that remain have been forced to increase prices. Many consumers have altered their spending habits to offset the price increases brought on by the minimum wage laws. And of those new business that have been fortunate enough to open, the report stated:

“It’s notable that nearly all the new businesses that have opened have embraced the counter service model that requires fewer employees . . . Counter service models require fewer employees to offset higher labor costs.”

A final statement revealing what minimum wage increases do to the finances of a business is noteworthy:

“One of the most outspoken full-service restaurants has been Townhouse General Manager Jeffrey Kroeber. Kroeber has warned the council for years that the wage scale was unsustainable for his business and that every $1 increase led to a $200,000 increase in their payroll. A payroll increase that would have to be offset by a $650-$700K increase in sales to maintain margins. “If we don’t have a profit margin that makes it viable for us, we’ll leave,” he explained.”

A Forbes report from 2017 documented numerous businesses that have closed due to minimum wage increases. Some of these businesses include Almost Perfect Books in Roseville, California, Abbot’s Cellar in San Francisco, and Del Rio Diner in Brooklyn, New York. Other businesses mentioned were forced to flee high minimum wage states like Washington and California for states with low minimum wage. One wonders where they will flee if a federal minimum wage increase comes down the pipe.

The Forbes article also noted that the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the fastest-growing union in North America, had at that point spent $90 million on propaganda supporting a $15 minimum wage mandate. Isn’t it interesting that a union, a group supposedly created for the benefit of workers, supports an economically ruinous policy like a mandatory minimum wage, and that it is willing to spend $90 million to persuade people it is beneficial?

Isn’t it also interesting that the Communist Party USA was known to have infiltrated the 1199 New York branch of the SEIU? The CPUSA, of course, fully supports a federally mandated minimum wage. A news report from 2011 observed the connection between the SEIU and the Communist Party:

“Like two peas in a pod, unionists and Communists get along just find these days. Not just any union mind you, the union that President Obama so readily identifies with and was proud to have worked with. . . .

“Not only did the SEIU help to organize the [May Day] rally in conjunction with communists, they marched side-by-side with communists, while union members carried communist flags, communists carried union signs, and altogether there was no real way to tell the two apart.”

The connections between the SEIU, President Obama, and communist organizations of all types are well-established. It should raise major red flags when the communists support any proposal, policy, or organization. Those who back a mandatory minimum wage law and minimum wage hike might pause and reflect that they are in league with the communists, Barack Obama, and communist president FDR who ushered in the minimum wage.

Today, a host of Democratic Party presidential candidates advocate a federal minimum wage hike and greater government involvement in the economy. Bolshevik Bernie Sanders certainly endorses the idea. In his revolting book Our Revolution, Bernie spent several pages lying about the supposed benefits of a minimum wage. Here is a snippet:

“Millions of Americans work for totally inadequate wages. The current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is a starvation wage. It must be raised. The minimum wage must become a living wage – which means raising it to $15 an hour by 2020 and indexing it into the future. . . .

“The truth is that states that raised the minimum wage in 2014 experienced faster job growth than those that did not. And a higher minimum wage boosts consumer spending” (Sanders, Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In, 218, 222).

Bernie Sanders, whose initials are appropriately BS, is a liar. As an old Soviet from long ago, Bernie knows that the minimum wage does not help businesses, does not promote economic growth, and absolutely hurts consumers. Yet, he and his allies in the Communist Party and Democratic Party want to jack the federal minimum wage up by nearly double to $15! This would destroy our national economy, putting thousands upon thousands of small businesses out of business.

Please keep in mind whenever you hear people advocate a minimum wage that the minimum wage scheme is part and parcel of the communist plan to take down the U.S. economy and has the hearty support of traitors like Bernie Sanders. As one article put it, the “leading Leftists seem to blindly follow the well-worn blueprints of internal destruction.” In pushing for a minimum wage – and an increased minimum wage at that – the “leftists” in our nation are taking us to the brink of economic catastrophe.

The above are only a few of thousands of real-life examples of businesses – even large business chains – which have gone out of business directly because of minimum wage laws. The website Facesof15 documents many more cases of businesses closing, moving, or downsizing because of the mandatory minimum wage drive – destroying the claims of the Bernie Sanderses among us. Yet despite the mass of evidence, the crowds continue their delirious chant for a mandatory minimum wage, apparently not thinking about or understanding the consequences. Their eyes see only dollar signs, yet they fail to realize that in the long run everyone will have less green in their wallets because of minimum wage laws.

When you see someone – a political candidate, a professor, a media personality, or whomever – advocate a mandatory minimum wage or a “living wage,” you know that that person either has zero economic sense or wishes harm to our Republic. Whether they promote a minimum wage hike because of ignorance of maliciousness makes no difference in the end – the consequences will be disastrously the same, especially for the poor. The U.S. economy literally cannot afford a federally mandated minimum wage hike.

As important as the fact that a mandatory minimum wage harms businesses and hurts the overall economy is, it is only is a secondary reason we should oppose the idea. Of far more importance are the moral and legal reasons why we cannot afford to institute a mandatory minimum wage.

Morally speaking, is it right to steal a person’s money? Is it just to steal a business’s wealth? It is correct to rob an employer of his profits and give them to his workers by the force of law? Is wealth redistribution an ethical or moral idea? The answer to each of these questions is the same: NO.

A mandatory minimum wage is nothing but theft. Perhaps indirect theft, like taxation, but theft nonetheless. This is so because the law forces one person to give his money to another or else suffer negative consequences. It is highway robbery to deprive a restaurant owner, for instance, of his livelihood by forcing him to give his money to his workers – workers, mind you, who willingly agreed to work for the wage they are currently receiving and who are not entitled to receive one cent more.

It is a dastardly thing to suggest we use the force of law to redistribute wealth from one segment of the population (employers) to another (employees). It is morally reprehensible to take from one person his property and give it to another without the consent of the person losing it. That is communism, folks. And just like communism, minimum wage laws should be abolished.

A minimum wage hike is also problematic in terms of legality. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land and all laws, federal, state, or local, must conform to it. Does the Constitution give authority to Congress – the body responsible for making laws – to take money from one segment of the population and give it to another? Is Congress empowered to fix the level of wages at a given point? Where, pray tell, does the Constitution say that the American People gave the government the right to take money from one person without his consent and give it to another? I fail to see where the Constitution authorizes our representatives to dictate how we run our businesses and how much we pay our employees.

I do not see it in the Constitution because it is not there! Such a provision does not exist. The right of private property was sacred to our Founding Fathers. They knew that there is no Liberty without the right to control private property (hence the reason the anti-Liberty communists seek to “abolish” private property). Property does not refer merely to land or structures. One’s assets, money, wealth, etc., are part of his “property.” Employers should be able to do with their property what they want, including pay their employees however much they choose. When we deprive businesses of their right to pay employees the wage they agree upon with the employee, we steal, in a measure, their Liberty, and infringe upon their property rights.

Isn’t it time we woke up to reality? Reality doesn’t care about your feelings – it hits you hard and fast whether you believe it in or not. And the reality is that mandating a minimum wage harms the economy (especially small businesses), violates the Constitution which defends our private property rights, and is inherently immoral.

Considering the economic infeasibility, unconstitutionality, and immorality of the mandatory minimum wage concept, isn’t it time we abandoned it? Will we abandon this failed idea or will we continue to play into the communists’ hands? They want nothing more than to wreck our economy and bring us to our knees. Will we allow them to do so simply because we see with our feelings and not with reason, logic, and evidence? While having a few extra bucks seems like a good thing, isn’t it a better thing to keep our economy afloat and let what’s left of our free enterprise system work?

As society has embraced socialist economics – a national bank, inflation, high taxes, high regulation, minimum wage laws, so-called anti-discrimination hiring laws, etc., – our economy has plummeted. By contrast, when we followed the Constitution, kept government out of our economic affairs, and possessed a truly free enterprise system, our economy boomed and helped produce the greatest, wealthiest, most powerful nation in the history of the world. So which future do we want – a Jacksonian era of prosperity and Liberty or a Stalinist nightmare of poverty and slavery? The choice is ours. And the mandatory minimum wage issue is a litmus test for where we stand on the broader question of individual Liberty.

The Communist Plot Against Donald Trump

Posted on July 31, 2019 by zeev1776

“Psychopolitics: The art and science of convincing half of the country that President Trump colluded with the Russians and the other half that he is draining the swamp.” – David Risselada, Psychopolitics in America, 3.

Last week, disgraced FBI investigator Robert Mueller testified to Congress relative to his recent report exonerating Donald Trump of collusion with Russia in the 2016 election. In the midst of his shockingly incoherent, uncoordinated, and bumbling testimony, Mueller did make at least one accurate statement. He said that Russian interference in American politics is one of the most serious threats to our Republic. In this he was correct. However, he lied about whose side the Russians are backing.

For two and a half years, the controlled Establishment media has been peddling the lie that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election and subvert America. The reality is that this insidious myth was concocted in Moscow. Those who believe the Trump-Russia collusion tall tale are actually believing good old-fashioned Russian lies.

In 2016, Fusion GPS – a private intelligence firm run by defunct British spy Christopher Steele – was hired to look into presidential candidate Donald Trump. Before long, the contract was dropped and then later picked up by the Democratic National Committee. Steele wrote a series of memoranda which came to be known as the Steele Dossier. Steele himself admitted that he could not verify many of the allegations of Trump-Russia collusion made in his own report! Yet, made them he did. And the Obama Administration, the FBI, the Democratic Party, and the Establishment media ran with the lie and have tried to drum it into the American consciousness in a vain attempt to make it stick.

It should make the discerning person pause to know that Christopher Steele’s sources are Russian. The entire Steele Dossier – upon which the Trump-Russia collusion lie was based – was concocted from anonymous Russian sources! If this doesn’t raise red flags – no pun intended – I don’t know what does.

Not only does the spurious information about Donald Trump come from anonymous sources in Putin’s Russia, but the primary American accusers are known communists! James Comey, Obama-appointed head of the FBI from 2013-2017 who presided over the beginning phases of the Trump-Russia collusion hysteria, has admitted that he was once a communist. John Brennan, Obama-appointed head of the CIA from 2013-2017, was also a communist who admitted that he voted for Gus Hall, the Communist Party USA presidential candidate. These two communist traitors helped breathe life – false life – into the Trump-Russia myth. Yet, otherwise good people believe the lies spun by these traitors!

Numerous so-called “experts” have written books detailing the alleged (and fake) collusion. This inglorious list includes avowed leftists such as Malcolm Nance, Michael Isikoff, Michael Wolff, Michael Hayden, and Jim Acosta. Other leftists in the intelligence community such as Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Robert Mueller, and James Clapper aided in these efforts by illegally spying on Donald Trump and using their positions of influence to demonize an innocent man. Still other leftists in government like Adam Schiff, Rod Rosenstein, and Jerry Nadler have used the flawed allegations put forward by the Malcolm Nances and Christopher Steeles of the world to continue the charade despite President Trump being exonerated by the Mueller probe – an exhaustive investigation initiated on fraudulently-obtained FISA warrants and false allegations from Russian sources that cost the American public many millions of dollars.

The Communist Party USA has also weighed in on Donald Trump. Before we cite what the CPUSA has said about the president, let’s recall the words of communist defector Louis Francis Budenz about the Communist Party. In his excellent exposé Men Without Faces: The Communist Conspiracy in the U.S.A., Budenz warned about this radical organization. Said he: “[A] group of people so completely under foreign-dictatorship control is not a legitimate political party. It is an arm of the conspiracy directed by that foreign power; in other words, an alien fifth column” (Budenz, Men Without Faces, 34).

This fifth column will go to great lengths to smear enemies of the communist world revolution. Budenz explained:

“The Reds are organized experts in lying – but the lies in which the Red engages are those that will aid the cause and the party. In such circumstances, according to the peculiar ethics of the Communist, it is right, not wrong, to lie. The Communist will not hesitate to spread scandalous falsehoods about a man or woman who has been declared to be an enemy of the party. He will do all in his power to get non-Communists to accept and spread the same malicious slanders. On the witness stand, he will resort to perjury, if necessary, to protect the interest of his party. But this is done under party orders and for party purposes, and is regarded as a cardinal feature of Communist morality” (Budenz, Men Without Faces, 31).

In adherence to their perverse version of morality, American communists have come out in droves to lambast Donald Trump and smear him with false collusion claims, erroneous allegations of mental illness, assertions that he is unstable and dangerous, lies that he’s racist and bigoted, claims that he is a “Nazi” and a “fascist,” and so forth. The “Nazi” allegation is one that the communists particularly love to use against Constitutionalists, conservatives, and anyone who opposes the insidious spread of communism. And because we have been so propagandized regarding the truth about Hitler and World War II, we fall for this Red hysteria. Don’t fall for it.

Since 2016, the Communist Party has kept up a running smear campaign aimed at Donald Trump – hardly something they would do if Trump was on their side! On October 16, 2016 – at the height of the presidential election – the CPUSA portrayed Donald Trump as a conspiracy theorist and attacked him as a “fascist” whose campaign presented “new dangers to democracy.” They said that a Hillary Clinton victory would help them derail “the growing fascist threat that Trump and his supporters are promoting.” If you were not aware, the Communist Party USA openly promoted Hillary Clinton in 2016.

In an October 25, 2016 article, the Communist Party hosted the Cuban communist Ricardo Alarcon who declared that “the only way to defeat [Donald Trump] is Hillary Clinton.” He referred to “Trumpism,” calling it “a disease that corrodes US society and threatens humanity.” The CPUSA was fully behind Clinton’s campaign in 2016 – not Donald Trump’s. Yet people have the audacity to claim Russia helped Trump cheat Clinton out of a win!

The communists’ attacks have been relentless since Donald Trump upset their hopes in 2016. For example, on October 20, 2018, the CPUSA made an extensive case for why they believe Donald Trump is a fascist. They cited the “classic definition” of fascism thus: “Fascism is the open terroristic dictatorship of the most reactionary sections of finance capital.” They then said: “Both Trump’s campaign and administration have direct ties to reactionary sections of finance capital.” In other words, the communists equate President Trump’s administration with fascism and “terroristic dictatorship.” More overtly, the article compared Trump’s administration to Mussolini’s government, Hitler’s Third Reich, and “the dictatorships in Europe and Latin America [that] were fueled by racism, anti-Semitism and last, but not least, anti-communism.” Yet we are to believe that Donald Trump is on the communist payroll? Laughable! People who believe this need to take a serious gut check and wake up to reality.

In recent months, the Communist Party has been on a roll accusing the president and his supporters of “Red-baiting.” They love to raise the specter of McCarthyism despite the fact that Senator McCarthy was not only correct in his assertion that communists had infiltrated our government, but fell far short in the scope of his accusations.

In a commentary on President Trump’s 2019 State of the Union remarks, the current chairman of the CPUSA, John Bachtell, lamented that the president’s “demagogic and fear mongering remarks were laced with anti-communism and anti-socialism. This served two purposes. First, to paint all Democrats as dangerous radicals and socialists, who pose a domestic threat to American values and then to drive that wedge in the anti-extreme right electoral alliance.” To translate a bit, the communists see themselves as an “anti-extreme right” group. That is, “anti-fascist” or “anti-Nazi” a la Antifa. They see all their enemies as “fascists” and “Nazis” and “right-wing extremists.” When you hear this propaganda line repeated by the mainstream press, Hollywood, academia, etc., know that it is the Communist Party line.

Earlier this summer, John Bachtell continued his attacks by calling President Trump “a gangster masquerading as president.” He then declared the current communist objective in these words:

“The aim is to oust Trump and the Republican Senate majority, defend the Democratic House majority, and break the GOP domination of governorships and state legislatures, which includes supporting candidates from their ranks, including communists.”

In order to “oust Trump” and thwart anyone like him getting into office, the Communist Party USA has for several years now openly allied itself with the Democratic Party (which is itself controlled by closet communists). This alliance will only grow stronger as Democrats burn their bridges and openly embrace Bernie Sanders-style Democratic Socialism and then, eventually, full-fledged communism. The Communist Party-Democratic alliance has highlighted one fact: Donald Trump, and that which he represents, is in the crosshairs of the enemy.

If President Trump is working with Russia or for the communists, why do they hate him so much and spend so much time tarnishing his reputation and undermining his administration? The Lord taught us that if Satan’s kingdom is divided against itself cannot stand, therefore it will not be divided against itself (Matthew 12:24-26). With this in mind, I say that every honest and discerning individual must realize that the entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative is phony. The truth is that it was concocted in Moscow and is promoted by communists and leftists in America. That the mainstream media – which is Marxist in nature and outlook – has backed this fable should make rational people wary of believing it. Why would the Marxists abroad, in media, in intelligence organizations, in government, in academia, etc., oppose Donald Trump if he was on their payroll or working for them? It is illogical in the extreme to believe this.

Some people have ignored these basic logical inferences and have pointed to the sad fact that President Trump has made some very stupid decisions as president as “proof” that he is in bed with the enemy. That he has made some absurd decisions is without question. The he has the political acumen of a gnat is also without question. And the record of his life of immorality is likewise beyond dispute. Yet, does this mean he is part of the conspiracy or secretly on the communist payroll? No.

Newt Gingrich once said that the reason Donald Trump is so hated is that he does not belong to the secret cabal that rules in Washington and the various power centers of the globe. He noted: “[H]e’s an outsider. He’s not them. He’s not part of the club. He’s uncontrollable . . . he hasn’t been through the initiation rites. He didn’t belong to the secret society.” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the core of the issue: For as idiotic and immoral as Trump often is, he is not a formal member of the Luciferian cult that hijacked the world. Trump does not promote Satanic communism and, thus, is at odds with the ruling core of the conspiracy – all of his very real flaws notwithstanding.

Let’s remember who Donald Trump is. He is a businessman and sees everything through this lens. Since he looks at politics as a businessman, President Trump thinks any “deals” are progress, no matter how many principles and promises must be compromised to make them. He is willing to rub shoulders with shady folks like communist dictators in order to “make a deal.” He, as well as most folks, thinks “getting things done” is a good thing. Personally, I want to see less action; far, far less. Yet, “action” is seen as the hallmark of success these days, so President Trump does everything he can, and meets with whomever he can, in order to “make deals.”

Some of the deals the president has made are horrendous while others have been beneficial. Though I did not vote for him and will not be voting for him in 2020, President Trump is the best president in my lifetime and we can thank his administration for getting us out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Paris Climate Accords, putting a spotlight on the invasion we know as illegal immigration, arresting thousands of human traffickers, standing up in at least a small way to the United Nations, cutting a certain number of federal regulations, and so forth. Yet, President Trump is flawed and has allowed himself to be manipulated, talked down from his tough stances, etc.

For instance, the president’s brokering of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is a prime example of his constitutional illiteracy and lack of political sense. President Trump sees the USMCA as a “win” because it is a “deal” – a “deal” he brokered! Yet, the USMCA is essentially NAFTA 2.0 and would be a blow to our sovereignty. The New American observed:

“The USMCA is being championed as a “better deal” by President Trump, and if Americans don’t show their disapproval, the Deep State may ride the Trump train to congressional approval for the USMCA and derail American sovereignty in the process. Both President Trump and USTR Robert Lighthizer (shown), a veteran CFR member, have touted the USMCA as a model of all future trade agreements, underscoring its importance. . . .

“After less than two years of negotiations, the USMCA was released early on October 1, 2018 on the USTR website for the public to read. It runs for 1,809 pages — 1,572 pages for the treaty chapters, 214 pages for additional annexes, and 23 pages of side letters. Obviously, the mammoth size of the agreement should set off alarm bells that much more is involved than “free trade,” which should mean the absence of government intervention.

“Of course, President Trump does not see it that way — at least not yet. “This is a terrific deal, for all of us,” he announced later that morning from the Rose Garden. “Once approved by Congress, this new deal will be the most modern, up-to-date, and balanced trade agreement in the history of our country, with the most advanced protections for workers ever developed.” Taking the president’s words at face value, one might think that NAFTA is dead and that the USMCA is a huge win for America that will safeguard its national sovereignty. Unfortunately, his rhetoric belies the reality. The pact is even worse than NAFTA regarding undermining American sovereignty and self-determination, in favor of North American integration extending beyond trade to include labor and environmental policies. It is, in fact, so bad that the globalists who had lambasted Trump for renegotiating NAFTA praised him afterward.”

I recommend reading the full article, as well as this one, to learn more about why Trump’s USMCA is dangerous.

Additionally, President Trump’s meetings with North Korean communist dictator Kim Jong-un have done nothing but buy time for the Koreans to continue their preparations for war and legitimize the brutal regime in the eyes of the downtrodden Korean people. Urging détente and “peace” talks is a common communist tactic. These times of peace are always used to gain an advantage over the gullible West. We should have learned from experience decades ago that communists do not make deals with anyone unless those deals benefit them and promote their Satanic criminal conspiracy. President Trump, lacking any real understanding of the workings of the internationalist conspiracy, plays into their hands by delaying tough actions in favor of “peace” talks and diplomacy.

A third example of the president’s ability to be hoodwinked and swayed by his duplicitous advisers is the 2^nd Amendment issue. President Trump is weak on our right to keep and bear arms. Last year I penned an article on the president’s knee-jerk response to the suspicious Las Vegas shooting. President Trump succumbed to the loud voices of the minority who called for “action” on guns. To appease the crowd, he made a “deal.” He overstepped his authority and violated the Constitution by banning bump stocks – a constitutionally-protected gun accessory that increases the rate of fire of a weapon. It was yet another episode that demonstrated President Trump’s unfitness for office.

Again, President Trump has done numerous good things despite occasionally falling victim to the voices enticing him to promote the Establishment’s agenda. The fact that he has been so castigated and hated by the Establishment press, the other branches of government, academia, Hollywood, both major political parties, and international governments and organizations is evidence that he is not all bad and that, at least on some issues, he has struck a nerve with the conspiracy.

More than anything, the war on President Trump is a war on perception. President Trump is perceived by a large swath of the population as an America-first political outsider who wants to “drain the swamp,” stop the invasion of illegal aliens, boost the economy, fight political correctness, and make our nation great again. It doesn’t matter whether this is true or not – what matters is that people think it is. And it is that perception that is dangerous to the Establishment. Optimism is contagious. If the “common people” come to believe that they actually have the power to change how Washington operates and that they can once again reclaim their country and be proud to be Americans, that emboldens them to speak out and stand up against the tyranny. When the American People do this, the hostile Elite that have hijacked our nation begin to lose power.

A moment in the movie A Bug’s Life illustrates this principle. You’ll recall that the antagonist, Hopper, is a surly grasshopper who oppresses the ants and extracts tribute from them in the form of food. Hopper is worried because an ant stood up to him. His henchmen laugh and shrug it off. After all, it was only one lone ant. What could he do? Seeing the bigger picture, Hopper warned his comrades: “If you let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up. Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one. And if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life. It’s not about food; it’s about keeping those ants in line.”

President Trump is just one man; a very flawed man who in and of himself poses no real threat to the Marxist Establishment and often unwittingly promotes their agenda. However, because he is perceived by the majority of the American People as a symbol of resistance to the “Deep State” or “swamp,” he is dangerous. Again, this is a perception war – and the Trump-Russia collusion myth manufactured in Russia was an attempt to poison the public’s minds against what they thought Trump stood for.

More than perhaps any other thing, President Trump has forced people to show their true colors – either for or against Americanism. The radicals have become even more radicalized, violent, and volatile while the humble American patriots have become emboldened and more nationalistic and zealous for Freedom. The anti-Americans among us are finally tearing off their masks and admitting that they’re communists who hate the Constitution and oppose the Christian and moral principles our Republic was founded upon. We cannot allow them to extinguish the flame of Freedom beginning to grow in the hearts of many Americans who have been asleep or apathetic for far too long.

I believe that those who promote the debunked and fraudulent Trump-Russia collusion myth do great harm to America. Congressman Devin Nunes concurred and wrote a recent article about the absurdity of the Trump-Russia “collusion” sideshow and how damaging it has been to our Republic:

“As the Russia collusion hoax hurtles toward its demise, it’s important to consider how this destructive information operation rampaged through vital American institutions for more than two years, and what can be done to stop such a damaging episode from recurring.

“While the hoax was fueled by a wide array of false accusations, misleading leaks of ostensibly classified information, and bad-faith investigative actions by government officials, one vital element was indispensable to the overall operation: the Steele dossier.

“Funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democrat National Committee, which hid their payments from disclosure by funneling them through the law firm Perkins Coie, the dossier was a collection of false and often absurd accusations of collusion between Trump associates and Russian officials. These allegations, which relied heavily on Russian sources cultivated by Christopher Steele, were spoon-fed to Trump opponents in the U.S. government, including officials in law enforcement and intelligence. . . .

“It is astonishing that intelligence leaders did not immediately recognize they were being manipulated in an information operation or understand the danger that the dossier could contain deliberate disinformation from Steele’s Russian sources. In fact, it is impossible to believe in light of everything we now know about the FBI’s conduct of this investigation, including the astounding level of anti-Trump animus shown by high-level FBI figures like Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, as well as the inspector general’s discovery of a shocking number of leaks by FBI officials.

“It’s now clear that top intelligence officials were perfectly well aware of the dubiousness of the dossier, but they embraced it anyway because it justified actions they wanted to take — turning the full force of our intelligence agencies first against a political candidate and then against a sitting president.

“The hoax itself was a gift to our nation’s adversaries, most notably Russia. The abuse of intelligence for political purposes is insidious in any democracy. It undermines trust in democratic institutions, and it damages the reputation of the brave men and women who are working to keep us safe. This unethical conduct has had major repercussions on America’s body politic, creating a yearslong political crisis whose full effects remain to be seen.”

Yes, the false Trump-Russia “collusion” narrative has been a great boon to the communists and has done much to undermine and weaken our Republic! Unfortunately, many otherwise good folks have fallen for the ruse. Some decent individuals have become so carried away with their hatred of Donald Trump that they see in him nothing but evil and refuse to even acknowledge when he does something good such as end our involvement with the TPP or the U.N. Human Rights Council. Some, because they know of the machinations of the Reds and rightly see communism as an all-pervasive cancer that affects all branches of government and contaminates all facets of society, wrongly believe that every member of the government is involved or on their payroll. I caution against this sort of faulty logic.

As noted, President Trump does not help his case by occasionally following the international Marxist agenda and legitimizing communist dictators by dealing with them. The president does not understand the conspiracy aimed at taking down America. Oh, to be sure, he has vowed that “America will never be a socialist country.” Yet, he doesn’t recognize that many of his own hand-selected advisers are members of that vicious cabal and are attempting to undermine him at every step. And President Trump’s character flaws also allow him to be swayed by flattery or popular clamoring.

The plot to undermine President Trump’s administration was hatched abroad in Moscow. Indeed, the plan to undermine every president who even thinks about opposing any portion of communism or who thinks he can rally the nation behind Americanist principles was concocted decades ago by the Bolsheviks. Because of what he symbolizes, President Trump has been the target of a well-coordinated and venomous smear campaign and psyop perhaps unrivaled in our nation’s history.

In his phenomenal book Psychopolitics in America: A Nation Under Conquest, which I cannot recommend too highly, David Risselada explained the communist tactic of employing psychological tactics to manipulate and destroy their enemies. The communists have devoted much effort to convince Americans that they are mentally unstable, that their leaders are literally insane, and that the only cure is to abandon traditional Americanism and embrace the Marxist worldview. Risselada wrote:

“Psychopolitics is a method of mind control that employs the use of fear, torture, psychotropic drugs and blackmail and which seeks to turn a person from his previous loyalties towards Communism . . . the United States is a nation marked for conquest, and most of what we see occurring around us is carefully contrived propaganda designed to give the illusion that the country we live in is sick, and we would be better served if we as Americans abandoned our outdated ideas about individual liberty and surrendered our authority to a world Communist body” (Risselada, Psychopolitics in America, 8).

Risselada then pinpointed several specific cases in which the enemy is attempting to paint the president – and anyone who shares these views – as crazy, irrational, or dangerous. The president’s stance on stopping the invasion of illegal immigrants is one example. Resselada wrote:

“The Left is using the issue of illegal immigration to push for open borders and the elimination of America’s national identity. They are also using it to discredit Donald Trump, as he is being portrayed as a heartless dictator who is locking up poor children seeking asylum in the United States. . . .

“What President Trump is currently dealing with is an overwhelming problem of illegal immigrants crossing our border because the Left has virtually made it legal to do so. The Hegelian Dialectic is in play here, as this issue has been allowed to grow out of control for several decades to create a public demand for a solution, and that solution is being presented as amnesty. . . .

“The Left is now using this issue to present Trump’s actions as morally reprehensible so they can get their voting base worked up and mobilized. While doing so, they have once again shown the world just how low they are willing to go to present something as a crisis which must immediately be solved” (Risselada, Psychopolitics in America, 225, 227).

Furthermore, Risselada weighed in on the Trump-Russia collusion myth, writing:

“The idea that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians is laughable, at best. The Russian influence in our country is certainly real; however, the Russians would be more interested in seeing a far-left party come to power, as left-wing ideology is more in line with Communist objectives. . . .

“The most outrageous aspect of this fake investigation is the fact that despite no evidence, it continues, in spite of actual evidence of crimes committed by Hillary Clinton, the primary one being the Uranium One scandal that allowed Russia to control a huge portion of America’s uranium reserves while enriching the Clintons through donations in the millions to their Clinton Foundation. Furthermore, to add to the outrage, Robert Mueller was head of the FBI while all of this occurred. It could reasonably be concluded that the attempts to pin Russian meddling in the election on Donald Trump are nothing more than an effort to distract the public from the fact that the Clintons profited greatly by actually doing so!

“It is also becoming clear that the real collusion took place between the Russians and the Clinton campaign. This makes more sense, as Putin, a former KGB agent who most likely aligns himself with Communist ideals, is going to want a US president who seeks to weaken America on the world stage, not one that seeks to “make her great again.” One of the goals of the Communist Party has always been to create the illusion in the mind of Americans that disarming our military and nuclear arsenal is a sign of moral strength” (Risselada, Psychopolitics in America, 263, 266-267).

Yes, the real colluding culprits are the ones pointing the finger and Donald Trump. Those who scream the loudest about “collusion!” are merely projecting their own sins on the president. Projection is a common communist tactic. From the beginning, communists have blamed their opposition for things they themselves were guilty of. For instance, it was the Soviets who murdered thousands of Polish officers in the Katyn Forest during World War II, yet the Soviet propagandists yelled so loud and so long that the “Nazis” did it, that the lie stuck. Only recently has it become generally accepted that the Soviets lied and that Germany was innocent of this massacre. And when a Dutch communist burned down the German Reichstag in 1933 as part of a larger campaign of Bolshevik violence and terrorism against Hitler’s avowedly anti-communist government, the propagandists spun the event to frame the National Socialists for the tragedy – a lie repeated to this day. The same thing happens today in politics.

Indeed, not only do communists project problems, they create them out of thin air in order to exploit them to their advantage. The Russian Alexander Markovsky explained the communist penchant for conflict creation. He said:

“[I]f you want to change a society, here is Lenin’s script: cause the problem. Spread the misery. Send a cadre of professional community organizers to unite all of the angry and disinherited spirits to fuel an organized revolt. Entice chaos and violence. Exploit chaos for larger political objectives. Blame your political opponents, demonize and criminalize them” (in Cliff Kincaid, The Sword of Revolution and the Communist Apocalypse, 41).

Markovsky was exactly correct. Problem. Reaction. Solution. The communists create a problem and fan the flames into an inferno that people cannot ignore; they channel the organic public outrage toward the object – whether person, idea, or institution – targeted for destruction; and, once the old system is burned down, they provide a “solution” that people will readily accept as long it promises to end the chaos and reestablish order.

Creating the Trump collusion myth was a stroke of genius that has certainly sparked a blaze of chaos, confusion, bitterness, resentment, and hatred. People are so blinded by propaganda that they have become violent and vengeful. The communist terrorist group Antifa has taken to the streets and routinely attacks people and property. They are now arming themselves and have been threatening to overthrow the government. But even people less inclined to riot in the streets have become radicalized. This radicalization has poisoned their relationships and made them bitter and cynical.

The communists are masters at tapping into this hatred, cynicism, and bitterness and channeling it into radicalism. They radicalize and mobilize women by telling them they are victims of some “oppressive patriarchy.” They radicalize and mobilize blacks and minorities by making them out to be victims of alleged “racism” by whites. They radicalize and mobilize people suffering from homosexuality and transgenderism by making them feel victimized by “heterosexual bigots.” And on and on.

The same tactics are being used to galvanize and radicalize anti-Trump fanatics. Often, these radicals have been duped into believing that Donald Trump symbolizes the rise of an “intolerant,” “bigoted,” “racist,” “homophobic,” “white supremacist,” “Nazi,” “nationalist,” “Christian” theocracy that will trample their rights. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read this sentiment online. People are so out of touch that they believe that Christian America is on the rise and that we are a threat to the Liberty of the nation. In truth, Wicca is the fastest growing religion in America, Satanism is becoming popularized, New Age practices are found everywhere, and people are openly marching with hammer and sickle flags and assaulting American patriots with impunity.

So much of the recent violence and radicalization of this sort is attributable to the lie that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to swindle the election and screw the American People. Again I repeat that those who promote this myth are endangering the nation. They are adding fuel to the inferno of hatred and bitterness. They are encouraging those who, suffering an acute form of mental derangement produced by the avalanche of malicious lies, need a major dose of truth to recover. Please stop and think about what you’re contributing to when you repeat the Russian-born, communist-promoted lie that Donald Trump is on the communist payroll.

America is at war. The Satanic communist conspiracy seeks to overthrow our God-inspired Constitution, thrash our noble traditions, crucify Christianity, split apart families, destroy our Freedom, and devour our People. When we allow their myths to spread and gain a place in our hearts, we are promoting their world revolution. Please, wake up to the awful reality that you are under attack and that this war is primarily ideological and psychological. We must develop a high sense of discernment if we are to survive this struggle.

I end this article with an old, yet eerily timely, statement by the venerable Ezra Taft Benson regarding the struggle we find ourselves in. Ponder it. Take it to heart. And act to preserve our Faith, Families, and Freedom before it is everlastingly too late.

“Let’s get one thing straight at the very beginning. International communism is the self-avowed enemy of every loyal American. It has declared war against us and fully intends to win. The war in which we are engaged is total. Although its main battlefields are psychological, political and economic, it also encompasses revolution, violence, terror and limited military skirmishes. If we should lose this war, the conquering enemy’s wrath against our people and our institutions will result in one of the greatest blood-baths of all history. Call it a “cold war” if it makes you feel better, but our freedom and our very lives are the stakes of this contest” (Ezra Taft Benson, An Enemy Hath Done This, 165).

Erasing Hitler

Posted on July 29, 2019 by zeev1776

Yesterday, I went to YouTube to watch Adolf Hitler’s famous February 10, 1933 Sportpalast speech as I have done many times in the past. I discovered, however, that YouTube has recently deleted this speech. Only incomplete or shabbily spliced together versions now exist on the platform and no remaining version contains Joseph Goebbels’ live introduction. YouTube has effectively erased Hitler’s most famous speech – an historical gem that ought to be preserved for historicity’s sake. This brief article is a plea for my fellow Americans to not allow the eradication of history for political purposes.

Over the past several years, I have compiled a YouTube playlist of videos, documentaries, and interviews on Hitler totaling 503 videos. As of this writing, only 53 of those videos remain. The rest have been deleted by YouTube. And of the 53 remaining, a sizeable percentage is now blocked in the United States and therefore inaccessible. For all intents and purposes, YouTube has erased any alternative interpretations of the facts relative to Hitler, the Third Reich, and the Second World War. This is a grave injustice, an affront to truth, and a backhand to intellectual honesty.

Let me be clear: I couldn’t care less what you think about Adolf Hitler. Honestly, I can’t express how little I care what the unthinking majority believes about any given issue. Most of what they think they know is the result of propaganda, indoctrination, and social conditioning. Most so-called “history” is a lie twisted or told in such a way as to exclude alternative interpretations, erase the perspective of the losers, and to support the Marxist worldview. The fallacious mainstream “history” of World War II is absolutely no exception. Indeed, few other historical episodes have suffered so severely from historical fabrication.

Nearly everything society is told about Hitler and WWII by the court historians and their controlled media accomplices is false and adheres strictly to the carefully-concocted communist narrative. That is to say, this “history” is a fraudulent fiction; a terribly written, horribly supported, unprovable fiction! It is fiction designed to twist your mind, blind your eyes, and numb your soul. It is meant to turn you against truth and to rile you up against anyone who opposes the Establishment – the very same powers-that-be which control the media, Hollywood, public schooling, and higher education and, thus, control the narrative.

My primary concern is not what you believe about World War II, but that folks have a right to share their contrary views. You may not agree with me or another person, but where in the First Amendment does it say that only speech with which the government or the majority agrees is acceptable and protected? We run a huge risk by allowing tax-payer-funded platforms like Facebook to ban and silence people for saying things that are not lewd or threatening, but which are merely contrary in viewpoint.

The danger to free speech becomes obvious when we consider how historically inaccurate the enforcers are. To wit, we have been wrongly taught that the “Nazis” (the word “Nazi” is historically inaccurate and used exclusively as a derogatory slur, so please stop using it) are the epitome of evil. More specifically, Hitler, we are told, is the Devil incarnate – the evilest individual ever to walk the earth. We are told millions were murdered by his regime, that he started the most devastating war in history, that he wanted to conquer the world, that he tyrannized his people, that he was an occultist, and so forth. In reality, none of this is accurate or historically substantiated, unless you consider lying testimony, kangaroo court rulings, debunked statistics, and contradictory “historical memory,” as “proof.”

Society is suffering a massive attack of historical amnesia. Then again, perhaps this description is inaccurate. In order to have forgotten something, you had to have known it previously. But society was never told the truth about the Second World War. We have been lied to from the inception. Those few souls who have attempted to awaken the public have been castigated, called “conspiracy theorists” and “Nazis,” and silenced. YouTube’s recent deletion of Hitler’s famous 1933 Sportpalast address is but one more evidence of this attempt to censor and silence the truth.

Amazon, Facebook, and other major platforms are equally guilty of censorship and historical fabrication. Recent years have seen Amazon engaging in digital book burning worthy of Dark Ages paranoia. Hundreds of supposedly “controversial” titles have been banned – many at the direct request of Israeli lobbying groups and organizations like Yad Vashem. It is somewhat shocking to think that a large handful of books currently on my bookshelf have been banned by the world’s largest book seller and their authors targeted for persecution by the “authorities” in numerous countries.

A microscopic list of World War II-related books that have been banned by Amazon includes:

The Bad War: The Truth Never Taught about World War II by MS King

The Six Million: Fact or Fiction? by Peter Winter

The Hoax of the Twentieth Century: The Case Against the Presumed Extermination of European Jewry by Arthur R. Butz

Made in Russia: The Holocaust by Carlos Porter

Breaking the Spell: The Holocaust: Myth and Reality by Nick Kollerstrom

Jewish Emigration from the Third Reich by Ingrid Weckert

The Secret Behind Communism: The Ethnic Origins of the Russian Revolution and the Greatest Holocaust in the History of Mankind by David Duke

The entire “Holocaust Handbook” series – a well-researched and scholarly series presenting alternative interpretations of the absurd “Holocaust” narrative incessantly peddled by the lying Establishment – has also been banned. Luckily, you can purchase the series via The Barnes Review’s website. Other banned books have not been so lucky to have benefactors and have gone down the memory hole. And still others have been allowed to drop out of circulation or have had their prices ratcheted up to hundreds of dollars for a single volume.

Facebook has similarly tried to conceal real history and cover the truth. As I have documented in several articles here on The American Citadel, I have been the victim of censorship (in fact, I am currently on my fourth 30-day ban of this year). I have had one page and one group on the Second World War permanently deleted by Facebook. The first was titled World War II – Truth and Lies and the second World War Truth. I have created yet another group by the name World War Truth 2.0 which recently got me banned for 30 days. The Establishment’s social media platforms, news outlets, and educational institutions cannot tolerate dissent when it threatens their ill-gotten monopoly on reality and so they lash out, censor, ban, threaten, and silence.

I think we can agree that sanitized history is no history at all. What we are getting from officialdom is a watered-down and conclusively false narrative that promotes international Marxism while castigating everyone who opposes the communist conspiracy as a “Nazi.” Since we have been indoctrinated to believe that so-called “Nazis” are the worst of the worst – the vilest dregs of mankind – this Establishment smear tactic is effective. Communism’s enemies are almost universally branded as “Nazis,” “nationalists,” and “right-wing extremists.” These days it is a badge of honor to be lumped in with “right-wing extremists,” “white supremacists,” “Nazis,” and “nationalists.” It means you’re putting up an effective resistance to the conspiracy.

Yes, Hitler and his ideology have been so systematically smeared that today if you want to create a controversy and bring emotions to a boiling point within mere seconds, all you have to do is mention Hitler’s name. You don’t even need to speak favorably about the man – just mention his name and you open the gates of hell. As I detailed previously, Facebook once banned me for quoting a Winston Churchill statement about Hitler. Churchill, you will recall, was an avowed enemy of Adolf Hitler. Yet, the Establishment can allow no honest discussion, dialogue, and inquiry about Hitler, the Second World War, or the “Holocaust.” In order to preserve their fabricated narrative, they must force us to swallow their fairy tale that Hitler came to power illegitimately, that Hitler started WWII, that Hitler was a madman, that Hitler wanted to conquer the world, that Hitler was genocidal, ad infinitum.

The Marxist Establishment’s anti-Hitler, anti-Germany narrative amounts to little more than a total psychosis that denies reality. Perhaps the communists are so emphatically opposed to Hitler because Hitler was so emphatically opposed to communism. Many of my fellow conspiracy researchers have fallen for communist propaganda in that they believe the lies lumping Hitler’s National Socialism in with Marxian Socialism. But nothing could be further from the truth than to say that Hitler was a socialist in the Marxist sense.

It was Hitler’s Germany, coupled with Japan and Italy, that launched the Anti-Comintern Pact to “adopt defensive measures” against “the Communistic International” and its craven “commission of violence against . . . existing States” and which, they rightly stated, “threatens the general peace of the world.” It was Hitler who, upon receiving accurate intelligence that the Soviet Union was planning to invade and subjugate all of Western Europe in 1941, launched a pre-emptive strike at the heart of Bolshevik power – an offensive that nearly wiped the communists off the map and which only failed because FDR maneuvered America into war and sent billions of dollars of equipment and aid to his Soviet comrades. Yes, Hitler was as anti-communist as anyone I have knowledge of. In the words of Joseph Goebbels, it is Hitler who “has taught us not only to recognise Bolshevism as the world’s greatest enemy but also to meet it face to face and crush it” (Goebbels, “Communism with the Mask Off,” speech, September 13, 1935).

It is a tragedy that in 2019 we have to look over our shoulders for simply sharing a private interpretation of history or citing unpopular facts. It is a black mark on society that hundreds of books are being banned. It is a crying shame that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and the other mainstream platforms, actively censor and ban people who share a different political view than they do.

I’m all for banning legitimately subversive ideologies, groups, political parties, and literature that call for the destruction of human Freedom and our inspired constitutional system of government. Yet, where does it lead to ban a political speech by one of the most important world leaders in history? How can it be beneficial to ban hundreds of books documenting the lies of history? What person with a conscience can warrant silencing people such as myself who do nothing illegal or wrong but who merely speak out in opposition to the growing corruption, tyranny, and immorality of our age?

We must be very careful, ladies and gentlemen. If we think it is ok to ban videos about Hitler and the “Nazis,” and then we step back and recognize the fact that the powers-that-be call conservatives and Constitutionalists and patriots “Nazis,” we should know that this path leads to persecution. I face this persecution on a routine basis and I can attest that it is very real and that it reaches to everyday folks.

We are on the precipice of total disaster. We are not winning; we are losing. We are on the verge of being silenced and losing everything we cherish. And the reason we are losing is because of people who sit back in complacency and refuse to question the Establishment version of history and current events, and who do not rush to the aid of their fellow countrymen when they face the withering assaults of the enemy. Hundreds of videos, hundreds of books, and hundreds of social media accounts have been banned or deleted. Will you speak out against this censorship? If not, then seriously ask yourself whose side you are really on.

Hate Mob

Posted on July 23, 2019 by zeev1776

“We must hate – hatred is the basis of communism.” – Vladimir Lenin

Yours truly has been banned for the eighth time from Facebook. This will be the fourth thirty-day ban in 2019 alone. The impetus this time was a veritable hate mob that swarmed and kept up a running attack on my Feminism is a Disease page for the past day. This article is my two cents about the spirit of hatred exhibited by progressives, liberals, Democrats, Democratic Socialists, feminists, LGBT activists, communists, and the rest of their foul brood who are wreaking havoc on our civilization.

Yesterday, I posted a LifeSiteNews article titled “Sociologist: Evidence shows homosexual parenting harms children.” In it, sociologist Paul Sullins cited data showing that children do not develop normally when raised by homosexual parents. Sullins also spoke of the “war on marriage” and noted: “This attack on the family is based on a demonic gender ideology that denies the order of creation, expressed in the complementarity of men and women.” I recommend everyone read the article.

The hate barrage against my page began when a deranged feminist shared this post in question and made the remark that my entire page was “garbage.” This opened the floodgates. A gaggle of this woman’s rabid friends swarmed my page, posting dozens of revolting remarks, lewd and blasphemous comments and images, and unbridled hate. They also reported a number of my past posts for “hate speech.”

This digital hate mob specifically targeted a post I recently made celebrating traditional motherhood. On that occasion, I said:

“Full-time motherhood is the greatest, noblest, most-fulfilling calling and career a woman can have. It is in the home that she can best use her unique gifts and talents. It is in her own family that a woman can best help shape society. Women, the home is your God-ordained palace. Don’t abandon it for selfish pursuits.”

Sharing this will help contextualize some of the hateful venom spewed at me, Christianity, and God Himself. A meager sample of the comments I received – bad grammar and all – from these oh-so-tolerant, oh-so-open-minded, and oh-so-loving leftists follows. Let their caustic words speak for themselves:

“F**k Your God.”

“F**k all y’all.”

“Go f**k yourself.”

“You need LESS Jesus.”

“I’m science and I didn’t say that.”

“Nothing is more hateful than Christian love.”

“feminism SAVES F**KING LIVES.”

“I don’t need a man because at the present time I don’t want one, considering you’re proving them to be childish and bratty if a woman doesn’t bend to his will. The only type of man I would ever consider marrying is the kind that recognizes that I am a person and therefore capable of making decisions and ideas without his help because that is the only man I would be able to respect as a husband. Have you ever had kids? Go through pain of childbirth and then you can talk about our “divine calling to be mothers.” Since girls we are told that having children is painful so EXCUSE me if I don’t want to have children and would rather adopt. We do not live in a world of unicorns, rainbows, and no consequences. We live in the real world and know perfectly well that actions have consequences . . . I think the real tragedy here is your mindset.”

“You guys are hilariously stupid and fighting against strawmen every damn day.”

“wish y’all cared a bit more about the children in cages at the border as you do about adding more humans to the earth.”

“Sexist much?”

“The misogyny is coming from inside the house. Sounds like you think that women are nothing but incubators but okay.”

“Of course this page is run by a man.”

“The people on this page are narrow-minded, uneducated, judgey arseholes.”

“Or you could, I don’t know, let women just choose what they want to do. Some women want this type of life, that’s fine. But not everyone does. And honestly it doesn’t affect you whatsoever what some random women chooses to do with her life.”

“Not all women were made to be married and stay home and make babies. Many of them need to be out in the world doing their own thing, and a life like yours will only make them more and more miserable and depressed as the years go on.”

“Sh*t like this is why women have anxiety. F**k off, like all the way, with your narrow view of a women’s purpose in this world.”

“Shut the f**k up.”

“you just don’t like it because you hate the thought of equality, you don’t want the patriarchal and oppressive system to fall, but it will.”

“femininity is whatever a female feels like doing, this is not the 50s.”

“So is everyone here going to make it so single incomes are enough, support for single mothers is actually a thing or are we just going to sit here and preach some unrealistic ideal that may not even be for everyone? Problems without solutions is just whining…”

“speaking for God is a little presumptuous, dont you think? Judgment isn’t yours, it’s His. I’d love to hear more about your sanctimonious beliefs, but I’m off to work, unless you know of someone who will pay for my son’s extracurriculars at school.”

“Keep your sky daddy to yourself… please and thank you.”

“Religion is a disease.”

“What’s a matter honey… No one wants to have your baby.”

“Satan is the logical and compassionate choice.”

“Sorry that my status as primary breadwinner is a selfish pursuit.”

“It’s so sad to see Europeans actually believing a foreign religion “Christianity” who spreads Its ideologies globally, is the answer to our problems. Good luck with that!”

“Holy f**k I’d literally kill myself if someone said that this is how I need to live my life. Y’all delusional.”

“If you honestly dont think same sex parents can provide love to their child and take care of their needs, you need to face facts that youre a hateful homophobe (and likely have other hateful bigoted views).”

“Another jack**s male trying to tell females that their place is the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. Male fragile ego at it’s most pathetic.”

“I’ll do what the f**k I want.”

“Patriarchy is as stupid as all of you here. We are not slaves of men, how can you believe all that sh*t and say those nonsense things so proudly?”

“Homosexuality isn’t a choice! Why not accept everyone independent of their sexuality?”

“Not everyone should have kids.”

“This reinforced my childfree status.”

“I swore I’d never have children unless I could raise them. So here I am without children but a classroom teacher! But I still stand by that. It takes real courage to put others before yourself and with love, and to watch your husband go out the door every day knowing he has social interactions beyond child talk lol!”

“What a load of bullsh*t.”

“god is fake, so this opinion doesn’t matter. What’s more dangerous is shoving religions down a child’s throat and forcing them to believe a certain way.”

“I don’t want to stay home. That’s a good enough reason. It is a setback for Christians when this garbage is perpetuated.”

“My sphere of influence is whereever I make an influence. Why do you think women’s sphere is any different than your own?”

“imagine thinking your entire existence relies on reproducing. Babies aren’t a universal joy and being a parent isn’t a personality trait. Also, Nobody cares about your book of mythology. And If God exists, she’s weeping.”

“You can dismiss Feminism as “evil”, if you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that the 1950s are long gone – and not coming back.”

“Well this is f**king terrifying.”

“It’s never too late for an abortion.” [accompanied by a picture of a mother drowning her baby]

““The attack on family…” Yet you’re attacking families. The only way they’re infringing on your faith is the fact that your faith isnt strong. The only way they can affect your marriage is if one of you happens to be gay. Get over yourselves you selfish people! Youd rather babies be in overcrowded conditions than loved by a couple because YOU cant quit thinking about them having sex!!!”

“F**k you and f**k your hateful a** religion.”

“imagine thinking your entire existence is for reproducing….what is this sh*t.”

“Yeah pretty sure I don’t need a man to have a happy, successful, fulfilling life. To think that women need men is some pretty big ego tripping on the man’s part.”

“Some drag queens do adult entertainment. Some drag queens work as singers. And, many drag queens work as comedians. They can have both adult only and child friendly routines. A drag queens reading stories to children is just that, a person in heavy make up reading an appropriate children’s story.”

“The medical community recognizes the trans community. Therefore, any doctor (Christian or Muslim) would likely lose their job if they refused to acknowledge a transgender patient.”

“Religious people need to understand that you’re not entitled to have your beliefs enshrined in the law. Your beliefs only matter to you, keep them at home where they belong. Your beliefs do not govern the lives of other people who don’t subscribe to your flavor of mind-f**k indoctrination.”

“Idk I think being raised by two moms made me and my siblings more compassionate than we would be otherwise.”

“Yeah women, f**k your own dreams and goals in life. Just go back home and take care of your little crotch goblins. I’d rather die than have kids and be a stay at home mom.”

“Right now you are only the buzzing of an extremely annoying fly. And I can afford to assume your relationships and thoughts of women are wrong because I am female and therefore how I feel about work and the home is relevant . . . You are not a man. You are a child. Have fun with your fake tan and small hands.”

“What the actual f**k? Is this page real??”

“This sh*t is not even funny.”

“So if God provides all, explain famine and starving children in areas like Africa and Yemen.”

“This is from a biased news site. I wouldn’t trust it. I am an education major and my textbooks will tell you this is bull.”

“May the embryo you save be gay and proud.”

“Do I smell? SEXISM??????????”

“I think women should have the choice to dress modestly or immodestly.”

“More women go to college than men. Why not provide tampons? Most women buy there own, but for the few occasions your period starts unexpectedly, these are VERY helpful! Transmen have uteruses too.”

“LDS is widely known for things like forcing pre-teen and young teenage girls to marry crusty old men. Are y’all sure you want to listen to patriarchal, female-subjugating, demeaning and dehumanizing opinions guised as “religious guidance” concerning gender roles, from someone whose “religion” not only participates in child sex trafficking, but practices it as a core tenant?”

“How funny. A boy discussing women’s bodily autonomy.”

“The earth hates you. Stop.” [said to a woman who happily reported she was expecting her sixth child]

“congratulations for helping the surpopulation of the planet by bringing tons of crotch goblins into the world…” [said to a different woman pregnant with her seventh child]

“You can delete my comments but that still doesn’t make God real.”

“Hail Satan.”

“Mormonism needs to go extinct.”

“Is this satire? If not then get some help from a psychiatrist, or get yourself sectioned.”

“Why don’t you just die mad already.”

There were other comments even more vile and anatomically descriptive that I forebear to share. Isn’t it interesting how hateful and despicable people can be while boasting about how loving and tolerant they are? These people epitomize the cultural Marxists who have perverted and overrun our society.

Over the past twenty-four hours, I have banned over 120 of these rabid Marxist jackals and I’m sure more will follow. They’re coming in droves – like Mongol hordes overrunning the ancient world. They have no morals to speak of and aren’t afraid to say the vilest things you can imagine. They especially hate you if you dare profess Christianity, moral standards, and traditional gender roles. It is more evidence that there are really only two sides – Christ’s and Satan’s. In rejecting the Savior of the world and His Gospel, these cultural Marxists have chosen their side.

In the past, I’ve received death threats and disgusting calls for my wife to leave me, so today’s episode is nothing particularly new (though the sheer scale of the attack broke the previous record). It was, however, a blunt reminder that our society is turning into a full-fledged mobocracy governed by ignorance and hate. Communism is the Red Plague infecting the nations, but feminism is the battering ram being used by the Marxists to knock down the walls of the last bastion of Freedom and sanity – the Christian home.

A quick glance at the vulgar comments above shows that the real object of the feminists’ hate is God. They are engaged in a rebellion against our Heavenly Father, the Redeemer Jesus Christ, and the Gospel. It is the eternal Gospel that establishes the standards of marriage, family dynamics, gender, and sexual relations that I and my fellow traditionalists promote and defend. So while the enemy is shooting the messenger, their real target is Jesus the Christ.

As quoted above, the mass-murdering Bolshevik Vladimir Lenin declared: “We must hate – hatred is the basis of communism” (Introduced into the Congressional Record April 12, 1933 by Senator Arthur R. Robinson, 1539). Satan-inspired hatred is the root of communism and all its branches – especially feminism with its screeching women radicals who tear apart families. Lenin’s comrade Anatoly Lunacharsky headed up education (i.e. indoctrination) in the Soviet Union. He similarly noted:

“We hate Christians and Christianity. Even the best of them must be considered our worst enemies. Christian love is an obstacle to the development of the revolution. Down with love of one’s neighbor! What we want is hate. . . . Only then can we conquer the universe” (in W. Cleon Skousen, The Naked Communist, 308).

Judging by these stated goals, it appears the communists have won! Christian love is a thing of the past. The world revolution is in full swing. And Marxist-style hatred has displaced compassion, openness, and love. I’ve been warning people for years about the communist threat working among us. See my exposés on communism, A Century of Red and Red Gadiantons – both of which also contain chapters detailing how feminism is a communist front – for the full scoop. But even without in-depth study, you can judge the feminists by their words, “for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matthew 12:34).

When you look at the vile things spewed on my page in the last day, what do you see? I’ll tell you what I see. I see people who have been deceived by coordinated communist conditioning. They are folks who are bitter and angry. They try to paint themselves as victims of some oppressive “patriarchy” while actually assisting to build a politically correct machinery of oppression and censorship. They hate in the name of love and love that which the Gospel tells us to hate – sin and wickedness. They tolerate perversion while being intolerant of Christ’s teachings and anyone who promotes traditionalism. They’re so self-deceived that they’ll lie and do everything they can to silence good people who want nothing more than to defend Faith, Families, and Freedom. They are nothing but a hate mob.

When Facebook banned me again today, I immediately sent in multiple appeals. As I was finishing this article, I receive word that Facebook accepted one of my appeals and reinstated one of my posts that had falsely been marked “hate speech.” However, they have not yet revoked my 30-ban as justice requires. I’m not particularly hopeful, but we’ll see.

And again, what was my crime? I dared quote science and common sense and Christian teachings. If you do that these days, you’re a pariah. If you stand up for what’s right, you incur the wrath of the hate mob. But even when the torrent of hatred, intolerance, and bullying strikes, it is your duty to push forward no matter the cost. I pledge my life to combating the type of filth you read up above. And I act in total confidence, knowing that our side wins in the end. I know our side wins because I know that Christ has already won the war. Who will join me on His side and stand against the hate mobs of the enemy?

A Personal Sketch

Posted on July 16, 2019 by zeev1776

In my years of public involvement in our nation’s political discourse, I have published hundreds of pages of material, including three books, over one hundred online articles, and about a decade’s worth of social media updates equaling hundreds of thousands of words of commentary on my public pages and groups. I’ve been very outspoken as I’ve shared my views on a wide range of topics. Recently, however, I realized that I have never taken the time to properly introduce myself as a person to my audience. Out of respect to those people who have faithfully supported me all these years, I take this opportunity to share a personal sketch of my life that I hope will not be too tedious and unexciting.

My full name is Zackary Adam Strong. I was born to wonderful parents on July 17, 1987 in Boise, Idaho. I was the first of five children to enter my parents’ humble home. I and my parents, three sisters, and brother moved a lot as my Dad, a phenomenal history teacher and first-rate coach, took new job opportunities as they arose in a myriad of states. In fact, in my thirty-two years of life on this planet, I have lived in thirty-five different houses located in seven U.S. states (including Alaska and Hawaii) and three countries (the United States, Russia, and Panama).

Many people would no doubt hate moving as frequently as I have. To be sure, packing, unpacking, and hauling your belongings around is not a fun activity. And answering the questions “Where are you from?” or “Where is your home town?” has also been challenging. The longest I have ever lived consecutively in one location is five years. About twelve of my years I’ve given to the great state of Idaho. If anywhere can be considered my home, it is Idaho.

Despite the sometimes topsy-turvy nature of relocating, I’m grateful for the experience of seeing so many varying parts of our beautiful country and world. I cannot imagine living an entire life in one house, one town, or even one state. There is so much more of God’s beautiful earth to experience.

The most wonderful and inspired move my family made occurred when I turned 14. We moved from Twin Falls, Idaho to Port Lions, Alaska. For a number of months, my parents had considered jobs in Alaska. On one occasion, my Dad was offered a job in a village near the Bering Sea. We held a family council and took a vote. Unanimously, we voted no. Later, when a job became available in Port Lions, we held another family council and the vote unanimously favored moving. It just felt right.

Alaska is, hands down, my favorite place I’ve lived and part of my heart will always beat for the Last Frontier. I grew to love the peace and quiet of our little Native fishing village more than I can express. As I recently said in my article “Our Majestic World,” you cannot purchase peace and quiet. You cannot find this peace in the cities. Our modern world does not offer it. Only when you leave behind the concrete jungles and approach nature and rural settings can you truly find peace and quiet and the beauty of nature.

Living in Alaska changed my life. In hindsight, I do not know if I would have survived high school in a big school with its toxic environment, herd mentality, and moral laxity. Thankfully, the Lord had different plans for me and my family. I like to tell people that I was the valedictorian of my 2005 graduating class – my graduating class of five people. Our little school in Port Lions had 42 students K-12. I enjoyed the 19-person high school. And I loved having my Dad as my history teacher. Without prejudice, I can honestly say that he was the best teacher I ever had. What sets him apart from most other teachers is that he cares about students on a personal level and gets to know them as individuals. He takes a sincere interest in their life and loves helping people and giving service. Port Lions, Alaska was certainly the right place to get to know people on an intimate level.

My family is very close-knit. We’ve always loved each other, but our relationships were solidified and fortified in Alaska in ways that would have likely been impossible elsewhere. Because of the smallness of our little village (we had five miles of unpaved road, no stores, no theaters, no banks, no hospitals, and no way in or out except by boat or plane), we spent a lot of time together. When my brother was old enough to attend school, my Mom began working as a school aide. From that time on, we all saw each other in the morning, at school, and at home in the evening.

As close as we became during the week, Sunday was our biggest bonding day. We are all active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, we were the only members of the Church in our 200-person village. With permission from the leadership of our nearest congregation, we held Church meetings in our home for three hours every Sunday. We even had youth programs and devotionals. In my Church, small congregations are called branches. Yet, we were not even a branch; we were a twig! It was a unique learning experience that solidified our closeness as a family unit. I thank my Heavenly Father for the opportunity of living in Alaska!

During my public school years, I played seven different sports. My favorite was basketball. In Alaska, I also had the opportunity to play mixed-six volleyball; that is, coed volleyball. I was one of our team captains. We were very successful each year, even winning the state championship in my junior year. I also managed to make it to the state cross-country meet in my senior year. Though getting sick and nearly collapsing during the muddy race, I finished about midway in the pack (helpful hint: Don’t eat an entire bag of beef jerky right before running, even if it is your favorite food on the planet).

I relished the Alaskan outdoors. The mountains, forests, and ocean were truly beyond belief. I never took it for granted, even if the frequent rain and months of snow at times grew tiresome. I loved seeing the bald eagles swoop through the air, the Kodiak Brown Bears lumber through the woods (even if they once stole my basket of berries), the sea otters, jellyfish, and killer whales swim in the ocean, the Northern Lights shimmer in the night sky, or the tide rise and recede underneath the wooden causeway spanning a small bay near the town. Picturesque is too weak a term.

The Sitka Blacktail Deer so prevalent on Kodiak Island also taught me how to hunt. Contrary to what many city dwellers think, hunters have a deep respect for animal life. More so, I believe, than environmentalists who repeat nice slogans but don’t know the first thing about nature – or about where their food comes from. Days spent alone with my Dad hiking and hunting in the mountains of Alaska and Idaho supply me with many fond memories and learning experiences. And I’m also not a bad shot with a rifle. Communists beware. You’ll only take my guns after I give you my bullets one at a time.

After graduating high school in May of ‘05, I attended my first year of college at the University of Alaska – Anchorage. Nothing eventful happened there, but I did write a lot of songs and became much better on the guitar I had begun learning to play in high school. Since that time, I’ve written and demoed a host of songs. I hope one day to polish them off and release them, though my wife seems to think my voice would be considered a weapon of mass destruction to people’s ears.

As I said, nothing eventful happened in my first year of college. However, I did have one experience that foreshadowed one of the most incredible adventures of my life. Late one night, while contemplating which classes to register for during my second semester, I had an overwhelming spiritual impression to take the Russian language. Though I was familiar with Russian history – particularly the bloody history of communism – and was surrounded by Russian influences on Kodiak Island (the first location settled by Russian explorers in Alaska), it had never occurred to me to learn the language. Yet, in that moment of time, I was absolutely sure I needed to take Russian. So I did. Seven months later, I held a paper in my hand from my Church calling me to serve a two-year proselytizing mission to Moscow, Russia. Coincidence? No. Providence? Yes.

My 2006-2008 mission to Russia was a time of growth, challenge, trial, exploration, and learning. I cannot say that I was a very successful missionary (though a handful of people I helped locate or teach eventually joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), but I worked hard and I grew in numerous ways. Two years serving a mission for the Lord teaches you more than four years in any university. I not only learned to speak Russian proficiently, but I learned much about a very unique nation and culture and was also able to visit the Ukraine and Lithuania.

The knowledge I gained about Russia did not come from books and I did not spend my time living in international enclaves or visiting tourist centers. Rather, I spent every day on the streets and in people’s homes talking with average folks and learning about their families and beliefs. I also spent time in a jail and looking down the barrel of machine guns on more than one occasion because communist religious oppression is still alive in Putin’s Russia. Yet, all of these experiences, and others too personal to share here, confirmed my lifelong belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. I know without one shadow of doubt that God lives, that He hears and answers prayers (often in very immediate and palpable ways), and that He loves us.

After my mission, I briefly returned to Alaska before venturing down to Utah to work. While there, I applied to several universities and was accepted to Brigham Young University – Hawaii in 2010. Just before heading to Laie, Hawaii, I visited my parents in Alaska again. While there, I feverishly wrote a novel I had started writing the year previous. After three months of tireless effort and sleepless nights, I typed “The End,” did a terrible cartwheel upon exiting my room, and ate my Mom’s delicious homemade doughnut holes to celebrate. Sadly, nine years later, I have yet to publish this novel because I’m still tweaking and editing its contents. Tymorius, my main character, deserves to have his story told properly no matter how long it takes.

In 2010, I began studying at BYU-Hawaii. Almost immediately, I met and started dating a beautiful young lady. In 2011, we were married. I thoroughly enjoyed most of our time together. Tragically, the relationship ended in 2014 and we were divorced the following year, leaving my life in something of a shambles. Out of respect, I will not say anything more about her or our time together. Yet, throughout those years I grew a lot and had some interesting experiences.

During that time, for instance, I moved back to Utah and became formally involved with the Independent American Party – a political third party founded in the 1990s. I had joined the IAP via their website around the year 2002, but did not begin actively talking with other members until about 2009 or 2010. Sometime later, I was made a member of the IAP’s National Executive Committee and was appointed the party’s Issues Committee Coordinator. I spearheaded the writing of our “Freedom Declaration” and began routinely publishing articles through the IAP’s website. From approximately 2012-2015, I published 54 articles for the IAP on a host of topics. A few of them are still available, though most were lost when the party changed web hosts a couple years back.

In 2014, the Independent American Party asked me to run for the U.S. House of Representatives out of Utah’s 3^rd district. I accepted the offer. Unfortunately, at the height of the campaign, my marriage dissolved and I became depressed, quit my job, and moved to Idaho. Perhaps it did not affect the election outcome too drastically considering that the state of Utah, in violation of state law, barred all third party and independent candidates from participating in the debates that year. I have the official letter to prove it.

However, I did have the honor of speaking at a “meet the candidates” event in Heber City. Though it will sound highly immodest, I stole the show. I enjoy public speaking and consider myself a worthy teacher. That night, my comments received the loudest applause and the biggest crowd reactions. I spoke of the police state we live in, quoted from my pocket Constitution, appealed to the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, advocated for religion and morality in public policy, and diverged from the other candidates on nearly every issue. During the event, a Republican candidate sitting next to me began deferring to my answers. At one point, he leaned over and whispered, “I’m voting for you!” That November, I came in third in the election, with 3,192 people supporting me – and all this without a fair opportunity to attend the debates and with no funds to run a normal advertisement campaign.

Back in Idaho, I again lived with my parents and my brother who was then in high school. I had graduated and moved away to college when my brother was about six-years-old, so being back home – despite the awful circumstances – was a fantastic opportunity to become acquainted and become true brothers-in-arms. I also started working at my Dad’s school in various capacities. Over the past five years, I have worked as a substitute teacher, assistant coach, dishwasher and cafeteria worker, janitor, test proctor, chaperone, classroom aide, and bus aide. I even helped create a couple haunted houses for the school’s Halloween Harvest Carnival.

Though I have made it my work to speak out against occultism, Satanism, Wicca, paganism, and all forms of spiritual darkness, I confess that I love Halloween! I even run a Facebook page called “Samhain and Yule – Facts and Fun.” Sometimes people who follow my work are shocked when they learn about this hobby of mine. A few have even unfriended, blocked, or cussed me out on Facebook. After all, isn’t Halloween a pagan holiday? In the future, I intend to publish a book that I’m slowly compiling on the true origins and development of Samhain, or Halloween. Until then, we will just have to agree that if you can celebrate the pagan holidays of Christmas (Yule) and Easter, I can celebrate the pagan holiday Halloween.

The Halloween mask I created and sewed together in 2016

Holidays are big in my family. Some of my best memories revolve around Christmas, Halloween, Independence Day, Easter, and Thanksgiving. I enjoy nothing more than carefree fun spent with my family – and holidays hand us that opportunity on a silver platter. Whether it is waking up at 5 A.M. to spy our presents under the Christmas tree, carving Jack-O-Lanterns, shooting off fireworks, hunting for clues to a hidden prize left by the Easter Bunny, or gorging on turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffed mushrooms, holiday traditions are part and parcel of my life.

Storytelling and reading are also essential features of my life. Like my hero, Thomas Jefferson, “I cannot live without books.” I was weened as a child on my Dad’s intricate stories. On car trips, at nights, or whenever, my Dad invented characters and fun tales for me and my siblings to enjoy. I also read books on numerous topics ranging from the Titanic to World War II to the War for Independence to dinosaurs. I strongly loved checking out books about astronomy or dinosaurs on the bookmobile that serviced our neighborhood in Green River, Wyoming.

Later, as a teenager, I became enchanted with J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. I have since read the books in Russian as well as numerous times in English. While some wrongly believe the story is little more than an occult initiation, I love the series’ central message – that good will always triumph over evil, that love is more powerful than hatred, and that qualities like sincerity and friendship are to be valued more than position and wealth.

I trace my love of writing directly to my love of Harry Potter. I consider Harry Potter the greatest book series ever produced and Albus Dumbledore is my favorite literary character (I’m also a certified Slytherin on Pottermore, if anyone is curious. And my patronus is a magpie). It was that magical tale which so thoroughly inspired me that characters, storylines, and worlds of my own creation began inhabiting my thoughts. These characters have become my friends and confidants. When the time is right, I will share some of them, and their unique adventures, with you.

The most important thing I learned to read in my parents’ home, however, was the Holy Scriptures. Each night, my Dad called our family together and we read a chapter from The Book of Mormon, the Bible, or another book of scripture and ended the day with a prayer. Each week we also had a Family Home Evening where we gathered, sang hymns or songs, read scriptures, had a spiritual lesson, played games, ate sugary treats, and enjoyed the time together. These habits of daily prayer, scripture study, and Christian worship so carefully cultivated by my Mom and Dad have likely shaped my life more than any others. It is these very habits that I plan to pass on to my future children.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the guiding light of my life. I love the Lord and the teachings of the holy prophets, both past and present. I have attempted to share my testimony of the truth as a missionary, on social media, in my writings, and with my friends. I encourage people to come to Christ, to learn of Him, and to have faith in His redemptive power. I also encourage all who have not done so to investigate The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Read The Book of Mormon, which is another witness for Christ that supports the Bible’s declaration of His divinity. Pray to the Father and ask Him, in the name of the Lord, whether The Book of Mormon is from Him. I testify that it is and that it confirms that Jesus is the Christ. Have the courage to follow the promptings you receive from the Holy Spirit and come to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and add even more knowledge about the Savior to that knowledge which you already have. I promise that it will bless your life and strengthen your understanding of life, your dedication to goodness, and your family.

Among other things, the Gospel of Jesus Christ has informed my political views more than any other source. Part of my religious creed is that the U.S. Constitution was inspired by God. He worked through the Founding Fathers, who were wise and honorable men, to create that document and establish America as the first free nation in modern times. His hand was directly and powerfully involved in the founding of this Republic. His eternal law was the source from which our Founding Fathers drew their inspiration. His principles are enshrined in the supreme law of our land. America is His base of operations in these last days before His return.

Some of the men that God used to establish this nation were my descendants. Among others, I am distantly related to Caleb Strong. Caleb Strong was an associate of John Adams, served in important positions during the Revolution, was a member of the Constitutional Convention, was elected as one of Massachusetts’ first senators, and served as the governor of that great state for 12 years. All throughout my family history are individuals of piety and purpose who left their mark on this and other nations. I seek to honor them by doing my best to carry forward their heritage of patriotism and devotion to God.

The doctrine of my Church also forewarns of a global Satanic conspiracy that “seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries” (Ether 8:25). We are commanded by the Lord to “awake to a sense of [our] awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among [us]” (Ether 8:24). Modern prophets have identified this “secret combination,” or conspiracy, as the communist conspiracy with its goal of world revolution. Those same prophet-leaders have identified this conspiracy as the “greatest satanical threat” to the Church and to mankind. It was not mere coincidence that I chose to write my first two books, A Century of Red and Red Gadiantons, on the communist conspiracy. I did so because I have sworn to fight this archenemy of humanity wherever it raises its ugly head.

The communist conspiracy is feverishly working to subvert our society. You can see it everywhere you look. Communism has never been more powerful and prevalent than it is today. The main reason people do not grasp this fact, however, is that the cabal rarely uses the name “communist.” Instead, it works through front movements like feminism, environmentalism, LGBT, “Islamic” terrorism, democracy and democratic movements, and progressivism. The communists have our culture pinned in a corner and are closing in for the kill. In order to defeat their cultural assaults, we must reenthrone our Faith, Families, and Freedom. We must adopt the Christian constitutionalism of our forefathers. And we must repent, turn to Christ, and become an upright and moral People.

Perhaps I will close on a more optimistic note. About three years ago, I began dating again. In 2017, I met a happy, faithful, and gorgeous girl named Emma. After two years of interesting courtship, we were married in Panama City, Panama on April 12, 2019. I’m thrilled to be married once more and I’m excited for the day when I will be a father. After God, family means everything to me. My three loyalties are to my Faith, my Family, and my Freedom. I have given much of my short life to teaching the principles of Liberty and to countering and exposing their enemies. I am committed to spending the rest of my life in God’s service, in my family’s service, and in the service of my blessed country.

I am so grateful to have been born in the greatest nation on God’s earth, in one of the best states in that nation, and in a truly wonderful family with parents who taught me the true Gospel of my Savior Jesus Christ. I love the Lord, I love my family and my wife, and I love the Freedom I enjoy in such abundance here in the United States. I trust that for years to come I will be able to fight the battles that need to be fought and help provide you with sufficient information and inspiration along the way so that you can assist in this colossal struggle. May we stand shoulder to shoulder through the dark days ahead and faithfully do our duty until the Lord returns to formally end the war that He has already won. We’re on the victorious side, ladies and gentlemen. We merely need to hold on until the buzzer sounds. That is the sure testimony and personal witness I leave with you. The ultimate victory is ours.

Zack Strong,

Independence Day Reflections

Posted on July 5, 2019 by zeev1776

As July Fourth fades into July fifth, and the rockets’ red glare ceases to illuminate the night sky, I sit on my bed pondering about this great land of America and the challenges we face. My heart is somber. I feel like I want a cosmic megaphone so I can shout to the whole world and warn them of the fate they are rushing towards – to alert them to the trap that has been laid for them by humanity’s enemies. As we wave our flags, sing patriotic songs, and boast of our Freedom, I fear that we lose sight of the seriousness of our present situation.

It appears that we are fulfilling in every particular the old scriptural warnings against complacency, naïveté, and ignorance. In one place we are told: “Woe to them that are at ease in Zion” (Amos 6:1). And in another ancient holy book, we are similarly warned:

“And others will [Satan] pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.

“And behold, others he flattereth away, and telleth them there is no hell; and he saith unto them: I am no devil, for there is none—and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful chains, from whence there is no deliverance” (2 Nephi 28:21).

I see so many conservatives applauding what they think are improving conditions under President Trump. The economy appears to be a booming. Unemployment numbers seem to be dropping. Some taxes have been cut. President Trump has slashed some of the myriad of bureaucratic regulations that entangle us. We are pumping and exporting more oil than ever before. We are extending the hand of diplomacy and friendship to belligerent nations like North Korea. We are making “deals” with everyone. And so forth. In all these things, conservatives believe they see the winds of change – a revolution in favor of sound government, national stability, and personal Freedom.

Yet, I must question whether any of these are indicators of true change and betterment. We have been so indoctrinated with Marxism that we see everything in terms of economics and materialism. If the economy appears stable, we think things are peachy. If unemployment drops, we think the government is doing wonderful. If a small tax cut puts a few extra dollars in our bank accounts, we assume everything is on track.

But what of our spiritual health and cultural well-being? Is church attendance on the rise? Is faith in Jesus Christ increasing? Are we following the Ten Commandments as a People? Are our families stronger? Are more marriages weathering the storms of life and resisting the Siren song of easy and “no-fault” divorce? Have we done away with the barbaric practice of slaughtering our newborns? Are we having large families again like our forefathers? Are we less sex-obsessed than before? Are people obeying the Lord’s law of chastity and abstaining from sex before marriage and remaining faithful in marriage? Is entertainment abandoning the trend of throwing profanity and lewdness into everything?

And how are our social relations? Are we less divided than before? Do we agree and unite on more issues than before? Do we ignore superficial issues like race and gender, or are we obsessed with them? Do we heed the ludicrous demands of political correctness or ignore them? Do we go along with Marxist hate speech legislation or cherish free speech and expression? Are our public demonstrations peaceful or more violent and heated? Are mobs and mob mentality increasing or decreasing? Is our social media interaction friendlier than it was in the past or worse?

And legally speaking, are things on the upswing? Is the Constitution followed more often now or less? Is the First Amendment under attack or defended? Is the Second Amendment under assault or held inviolate? How are privacy rights doing – or is there such thing as privacy these days? Do we have more or fewer police swarming our streets? Are we emptying or filling our prisons?

Folks, I could keep asking leading questions all day, but let me get to my point. Although the economy, on the surface, appears to be in a moment of upsurge (our $22 Trillion in debt, the existence of the parasitical Federal Reserve, and numerous other factors belie the claim of a booming economy), other indicators are blaring a “RED ALERT!” warning signal. The three great standards and institutions of any nation – Faith, Families, and Freedom – are all suffering massively. In fact, each is imploding before our eyes.

What good is a so-called “booming” economy when our Faith in the Savior gives way to pagan beliefs and reprobate behavior? How does a small tax cut assist us when our Families are decreasing in size, decreasing in effectiveness, and disintegrating altogether? What good is it to be a net exporter of oil when our Freedom is consumed by collectivist attitudes, Marxist-style Social Justice laws, and open calls for socialism by presidential candidates and the crowds who back them?

America is more divided than ever before. And the segment of the population who wants to drive the wedge even further and break us apart as a nation is succeeding largely because those of us who truly care and who ought to know better are ignoring the real problems. The honorable Ezra Taft Benson warned:

“If American freedom is lost, if America is destroyed, if our blood-bought freedom is surrendered, it will be because of Americans. What’s more, it will probably not be only the work of subversive and criminal Americans. The Benedict Arnolds will not be the only ones to forfeit our freedom. . . .

“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, but Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free—Americans who have been lulled away into a false security” (President Ezra Taft Benson, “Americans Are Destroying America,” Conference Report, April, 1968).

Is this what is happening? Are good, seemingly patriotic Americans responsible for the cultural destruction we see around us because they have been apathetic, naïve, and ignorant? I submit that this is precisely the case. There will always be subversives who want to overthrow the established government and set up a self-serving system with themselves in charge. However, this criminal element can only succeed when the population as a whole turns a blind eye and allows them to. We have for generations been so obsessed with bread and circuses that we allowed the communist cancer to spread to every community in the Union. We’ve slept while Rome burned. We’ve sold our Liberty for a mess of pottage!

Ezra Taft Benson delivered another powerful warning that should’ve been heeded decades ago:

“For a quarter of a century I have seen, at close range, the insidious forward march of creeping socialism and its ruthless companion godless communism. It is a shocking record of bluff, bluster, deception, intrigue, bondage, and mass murder. Never in recorded history has any movement spread itself so far and so fast as has socialistic-communism in the past few years. The facts are not pleasant to review. Communist leaders are jubilant with their success. They are driving freedom back on almost every front. . . .

“I say to you with all the fervor of my soul: We are sowing the seeds of our own destruction in America and much of the free world today. It is my sober warning to you today that if the trends of the past thirty years – and especially the past three years – continue, we will lose that which is as priceless as life itself – our freedom – our liberty – our right to act as free men. It can happen here. It is happening here.

“Our greatest need in America today is to be alerted and informed” (Ezra Taft Benson, “We Must Become Alerted and Informed,” speech, December 13, 1963).

The seeds of destruction that were sewn decades ago are being harvested now before our eyes. Our enemies are “jubilant with their success.” Our level of healthy religion and morality – the pillars of free society – is declining. Our families are falling apart. Freedom is being pushed back “on almost every front.” And what do we do in the face of this awful situation? We cheer and celebrate, wave our flags and shoot off our fireworks, and believe that President Trump will save us!

Instead, we need to become “alerted and informed.” We need to comprehend that there exists an international Satanic cabal which seek to obliterate our Liberty and consolidate the United States into a Marxist world order. We need to understand that communism never died, the USSR faked its “collapse,” and the West lost the Cold War. We need to admit that we have not done enough for to save our Republic – that it is our fault for allowing this clique of gangsters to abuse us for all these many years. We need to wake up and heed the warnings of men who have been awake all this time and who have screamed themselves hoarse trying to alert and save their country.

After this Independence Day, will anything change? Are our hearts stirring with emotion for our lost Liberty? Are we pricked with the terrible realization that all is not well in Zion? Will we push forward with more vigor for the restoration of our land to its godly roots? Will we work harder to preserve and replenish our Faith, Families, and Freedom? Will anything change at all? Or is July Fourth it just another day? Was it just another holiday – an excuse to BBQ, take the day off, and blow off some fireworks? Only you can decide what this day meant for you and what you will do from here on out.

From where I sit, it is not “morning in America.” But there should be mourning in America. The blast of the fireworks last night should have reverberated in our souls. We should feel the urgency which our situation presents. We should feel stirred to action in defense of our smoldering homeland. We should feel a greater determination to push back the communists who have gained so much ground that they are openly parading with hammer and sickle flags, burning Old Glory in D.C., beating people to within an inch of their lives in violent public demonstration while the police do nothing, and relishing the notion that one of their chosen candidates will likely be the Democratic Party nominee for president in 2020.

My fellow Americans, we are losing this war. We are losing. Donald Trump is president, yet we are losing. So-called conservatives have a majority on the Supreme Court, yet we are losing. Republicans control the Senate, yet we are losing. Our culture is sinking under the weight of hedonism and selfishness. Public schools are little more than communist indoctrination centers. Even public libraries, those places that gave me so many hours of joy as a child, are scenes of debauchery and indoctrination. Yes, Christian constitutionalists are being pushed back on almost every front.

If I sound overly pessimistic, it is because I am. We are losing the war and the casualties are mounting. I know we will win the war in the end, but at what cost? How much will we lose along the way? How many of our friends and family members will fall in this struggle? How many more good people will have their lives, careers, and reputations destroyed because of the cowardice of their neighbors to defend their rights against oppression? How many more children will be stolen from good homes because of the political or religious views of their parents? How much more lewdness and depravity must we be forced to witness? How much more suffering must we endure before we wake up and thrash the enemy who feeds off of our pain like the American Indian god Okee?

As wonderful and fun as it is to watch fireworks, have BBQs, wear patriotic apparel, and read The Declaration of Independence with my family, I can’t help but mourn for my country. America is on fire. And if my home is burning, will I remain silent? If my family is in danger, will I remain inactive? If I’m on the verge of losing everything I love, will I shout, “USA! USA! USA!” or say “All is well”? No! And if you are a patriot, you must not fall into this fatal trap of complacency and inattention!

Now is the time to wake up. Now is the time to become informed. Now is the time to study the Constitution as well as the tactics of the communist enemy. Now is the time to educate your family and neighbors. Now is the time to act in behalf of your country. Now is the time!

I love America! America is the greatest nation on earth! We are the most blessed People in history. This is a special land – a Promised Land. It is a land reserved by God for humble, righteous People. It is the Lord’s base of operations in these last days. America must be defended!

I pledge my life to the restoration of the Republic, the defense of our God-inspired Constitution, and to the maintenance of the principles of Liberty and rule of law. I pledge myself to the defense of Faith, Family, and Freedom. Whatever little I have to offer, I offer to my nation, to my People, and to my God. God help America!

The Beast and His Mark

Posted on June 7, 2019 by zeev1776

“I see in Communism the focus of the concentrated evil of our time.” – Ex-Communist, Whitaker Chambers, Witness, xxxvii

In the apocalyptic revelation given to John the Beloved, we are told of a “scarlet coloured beast” that, being ridden by a woman symbolizing “Babylon the Great,” would make war against the Lord’s people (Revelation 17:3-6). This vicious Red beast would besiege and tyrannize the whole earth. Because of the widespread power of the beast, we are informed that “the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:3-4) As a consequence, the beast causes the people of the earth to “receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads,” without which “no man might buy or sell” (Revelation 13:16-17). The purpose of this article is to show how John’s prophecy of the beast and his mark is being literally fulfilled in our day.

Before we discuss what the “mark of the beast” is and how it is being administered, let’s discuss the beast. Who or what is this “scarlet coloured beast”? It seems apparent to me that the woman symbolizing Babylon, and the beast which carries her, represent a system of global governance created by the Dragon. As noted, it is the Dragon who gives power to the beast (Revelation 13:4). Answering who or what the Dragon is becomes most helpful in discerning what the beast really is.

The book of Revelation makes it plain in more than one location that the Dragon is Satan, the Evil One, the arch-enemy of God and man. Revelation 12 tells us that after the War in Heaven which took place before mankind came down to earth “the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” (Revelation 12:3-9).

This War in Heaven involved all of us – you and me. We were there. We took part. And we chose the winning side! In that pre-earth state, described in detail in my book The Lineage of the Gods, God our Father proposed a Plan for the salvation of mankind. Crucial to His Plan was agency and accountability. Lucifer, however, proposed an alternative plan which would have destroyed the free will of mankind and exalted him “above the stars of God” (Isaiah 14:12-15).

When Lucifer’s perverse plan of slavery was rejected, he and those “angels” (i.e. children of our Heavenly Father) who supported his plan rebelled. They fought against our Father and those of us – you and me – who supported His Plan of Freedom and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. When Satan lost and was “cast out” of Heaven, he continued his war against mankind’s agency here. What John is seeing in Revelation relative to our day is merely an earthly continuation of that same War in Heaven.

Satan’s war is being waged against everyone, but more particularly against the humble followers of Christ. We are told that the Dragon makes war with all those who “keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17). It is in this context of Satan’s war against mankind and against Christ that we first learn of the terrifying beast.

The beast is Satan’s weapon of choice. The beast is the vehicle through which the Dragon, or Satan, promotes his war against Christ. It is how he extends his control over the earth. The beast, of course, is not a real beast – it is a metaphor for Satan’s system of malevolence. We might accurately describe it as a “beast system.” It is with this beast system that the kings of the earth unite. These world leaders “shall give their power and strength unto the beast” (Revelation 17:12-13).

As we gaze upon the situation today, which beast-like system do we see extended throughout the whole earth? Which system do we see dominating in all lands and making war against the Lord and the principles of Liberty? While there are multiple competing systems that deny the Christ and restrict man’s Freedom, there is one more prevalent and powerful than all others: Satanic communism.

Communism has many shades and wears many masks, so it is not always immediately apparent that you are dealing with communism. But I submit that communism, in one of its many forms, is the most widely-accepted political system on earth. Socialism, for instance, is nothing but a branch of the communist conspiracy. I have often called socialism communism with a smiley face. Because it wears a smiley face, its principles have been adopted in literally every nation on earth. Look at every nation and you will find some or all of the ten planks of The Communist Manifesto in full force.

The international socialist movement, of which Fabian Socialism is the most powerful strand, was created by Karl Marx and his fanatical supporters. There is very little substantive difference between communism and socialism – and both achieve the same results. Both centralize government, ruin economies, degrade morality, abolish the family unit, and destroy Freedom. And it is this same communist conspiracy that created the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations, etc. I repeat, this communist/socialist monstrosity is the most widely-implemented system in the world.

Soviet Russia, Red China, and North Korea are the three premier examples of communism in action. But if you look beyond their borders, you find socialism absolutely everywhere. India, the second most populous nation on earth, was an early target of communist subversion and now bears a socialist government and is a formal partner in the BRICS alliance which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and other states. Throughout the Middle East, socialist governments abound. And most of these, from Iran to Egypt to Turkey to Pakistan, are propped up by the Russians and Chinese. Central and South America is a hotbed of communism, with openly-communist regimes dominating nations like Cuba and Venezuela, and closet communists ruling in Mexico, Nicaragua, and elsewhere. Africa is also a little-discussed center of communist activity. Europe is almost entirely socialist – and proudly so. Even the United States, in contravention of her inspired Constitution, has adopted all ten planks of The Communist Manifesto to greater or lesser degree.

Without any doubt, the communist system is the most widespread system on earth. The Comintern, or Communist International, has made sure of that. And communism is the foremost system calling for “world revolution” and the overthrow of all traditional values, human Freedom, and Christ’s Church. More people have been pillaged, abused, raped, enslaved, and murdered under communism in the past century than under all other systems in all previous centuries of earth’s history combined. There has simply never been anything like the beast system of communism.

It also seems significant that the beast is described as “scarlet,” or red. In fact, during the War in Heaven described earlier, the Dragon is also described as “red” (Revelation 12:3). Author Farley Anderson, in his wonderful work The Book of Revelation Today, said this about identifying the beast:

“We next see that the beast is a military superpower (Revelation 13:4). From Revelation 13:8 we learn that almost all the earth shall worship the beast. The word worship is strong, but consider how doctrines of communism are taught and learned, and how, directly and indirectly, the world financially supports communism. We then realize that the word worship is very appropriately used. Last, but not least, we see in Revelation 17:3 that the beast is scarlet colored. Identifying the beast as satanic communism may be as simple as asking who the reds are. Lucifer used red as his banner in the pre-mortal world. The Marxist followers of our day are likewise known as Red communists or socialists” (Anderson, The Book of Revelation Today, 22).

The communist conspiracy has taken to itself the color of red. It is the Red Menace. The Reds are the ones who have declared eternal war against humanity. The Illuminati-Jacobins – from whence sprang communism – hoisted the red flag of revolution over France. Red is the color of world revolution. Red is the color of communism. Red is the color of the beast. And red is the color of the Dragon.

Furthermore, the communist system is much more than a political system. It is an all-encompassing worldview and a counterfeit religion. Elder Bruce R. McConkie, a competent religious authority, described communism thus:

“Basically and chiefly, communism is a form of false religion; it is one of the major divisions of the church of the devil. It denies God and Christ; belittles Christianity; runs counter to the moral and ethical standards of religion and decency; denies men their agency; wrenches from them their inalienable rights; and swallows the individual and his wellbeing up in the formless mass of the state” (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 151).

Another time, he explained:

“Communism is in reality a form of religion in which men deny the God of the Bible and worship the gods of compulsion and power and war” (McConkie, A New Witness for the Articles of Faith, 54).

The great J. Edgar Hoover also said:

“Communism is more than an economic, political, social, or philosophical doctrine. It is a way of life; a false, materialistic “religion.” It would strip man of his belief in God, his heritage of freedom, his trust in love, justice, and mercy. Under communism, all would become, as so many already have, twentieth-century slaves” (Hoover, Masters of Deceit, Foreword, vi).

In these descriptions, we see the echo of John who saw people worshiping the beast. Communism displaces God and sets itself up as man’s deity – and demands to be worshiped. It is a false idol. It is organized paganism. Communism centralizes all power in the hands of the ruling Elite, who in turn serve Satan. The state, controlled by Satan through his initiated followers, becomes the people’s object of worship and behaves like a cruel god in dispensing judgment, controlling life and death, dictating how people earn money, and dominating every aspect of life.

Henry Makow spoke of the “New World Order” and how it is inseparably intertwined with the Satanic communist philosophy. He wrote:

“The purpose of the New World Order is the same as Communism. The Illuminati created Communism as a means to flout God’s will and enslave mankind. Karl Marx was hired to sell totalitarian rule (“the dictatorship of the proletariat”) by pretending to espouse equality. He was a Satanist as were Trotsky, Lenin and Stalin. . . .

“The Luciferians portray their rebellion against God and nature as progress and freedom. This permissiveness refers only to tearing down the Divine order. In the initiation into the Seventh degree of Satanism, the adept swears, “Nothing is true and everything is permitted.” In the Communist Manifesto, Marx said all religion and morals will be abolished and everything permitted.

“The religion of modern western society, secular humanism, is a front for Illuminism (Lucifer worship). The purpose of Illuminism is to divorce humanity from the Divine Purpose and enshrine Lucifer (i.e. the Illuminati) in God’s place. Under the guise of a humanist utopia, they are constructing an Orwellian hell – the New World Order, a.k.a. globalism.

“The goal of globalism is the same as Communism. The world’s elite masks its Luciferianism in new age paganism and Gaia worship. The Lucifer Trust runs the only chapel at the United Nations and the only statue in the UN building is the pagan god Zeus” (Makow, Illuminati: The Cult that Hijacked the World, 66-67).

Now that we have reasonably established that the scarlet beast is the worldwide Satanic communist system, we come to the question of the mark of the beast. What is the mark of this communistic beast? The prevailing view seems to be that the “mark” is a literal identification or tracking marker forcibly given to people, such as an RFID microchip implanted in the hand or a tattoo printed on the head. I diverge from this opinion.

A study manual printed by my Church does not give an official opinion on what the mark of the beast is, but it provides one possibility that I feel is very close to the truth. Recall that the beast’s “mark” is taken in the hand or forehead. The manual notes: “This may symbolize that the wicked show by their actions (hands) and beliefs (heads) that they do the will of the beast and accept his ideology” (New Testament Student Manual, “Revelation 12-16,” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2014). It is my feeling that this is a correct interpretation and that the mark of the beast is figurative rather than literal.

Recall that John says people will worship the beast and the Dragon who empowers it. That is, they will worship the communistic system and, by default, Satan who established it. People who go along with the communist ideology, whether they recognize it as such or not, are figuratively marking themselves as enemies of God and His great Plan of Freedom. This Satanic communist ideology includes belief in all forms of socialism and welfare-statism, Darwinian evolution, humanism, atheism, New Age spiritualism, reincarnation, homosexuality, sexual immorality, feminism, abortion, no-fault divorce, drug use, radical environmentalism, ad infinitum. When we realize that all of these ideas and practices are upheld and subsidized by the Satanic communist conspiracy, and that most people believe or do at least some of them, it becomes apparent that most of the world has already marked themselves as followers of the beast system.

Thus, the beast system is spread primarily through indoctrination and conditioning. Public schools and the Marxist media are the chief tools of socialist indoctrination. Generations of unsuspecting people have been initiated into the beast system’s beliefs through public schooling, and their false beliefs are daily fortified by the controlled media. It is a diabolically ingenious system of social control – the type of system that could have only been invented and coordinated on a global scale by a supremely malevolent being and a devoted cadre of co-conspirators.

In the degraded age in which we live, it is not necessary to forcibly microchip a person in order to control him. Yes, thousands of people are now voluntarily lining up to be microchipped. And the risks posed by such a practice are high. However, there are much simpler ways to control people. Public indoctrination has been noted, but there are at least two other methods I wish to discuss.

Yesterday, June 5, 2019, we witnessed an example of how the beast system currently curtails and controls a person’s right to buy and sell. I refer to YouTube’s demonetization of Steven Crowder’s YouTube channel. Steven Crowder is a highly popular conservative YouTuber with nearly four million subscribers on his channel. He hosts the show Louder with Crowder. Yesterday, YouTube demonetized Crowder’s channel. Why? Crowder was demonetized because he has said many things that are politically incorrect and that rub the Establishment the wrong way. In particular, he has been labeled “homophobic.” It is just the latest example of political correctness at work.

Anyone who follows my writings knows that political correctness is a communist invention imported from Soviet Russia. It is a means of thought control and one of the greatest threats to free speech. To be politically correct is to toe the communist line – or, to toe the beast’s line. To be labeled politically incorrect, one must simply dissent from and openly oppose the communist ideology. Those who oppose the communist conspiracy’s efforts to turn the world into a GULAG must be prepared to face criticism and persecution.

Under the aegis of political correctness, the powers-that-be have begun restricting certain people’s ability to carry on their careers and earn a living. They have directly attacked the pocketbooks of activists, labeled “extremists,” with whom they disagree. For example, they file lawsuits against Christians who exercise their right to not make cakes for homosexuals, effectively shutting down their businesses. They block people from accessing social media platforms and having an equal chance to reach an audience and promote products. They revoke licenses and kick people off the air, closing down their avenues for self-promotion. They ban authors’ books, or prevent them from reaching major distributors, in a kind of digital book burning. They restrict travel rights in some situations, such as when Britain banned Michael Savage. They even go after the bank accounts of businesses and high profile figures, causing their businesses to collapse.

Crowder is just the latest in a long line of blacklisted figures that includes Alex Jones, Paul Joseph Watson, Laura Loomer, Jordan Peterson, Paul Nehlen, Milo Yiannopolous, MS King, David Irving, etc. At the present time, yours truly is currently banned for thirty more days from Facebook. Alex Jones is perhaps the most famous person on the list. Alex Jones of Infowars fame has been permanently banned from Facebook and Twitter, had his YouTube accounts suspended, been removed from the Apple iTunes app store, been deleted on Spotify, and so forth. Google also restricts search results to filter out as many of Infowars’ stories as possible. Jones’ ability to reach an audience and, thus, earn a living and promote his message, has been severely compromised by the Marxist Establishment. Anyone who speaks out against the tide of cultural Marxism, political insanity, and Satanism sweeping the globe is a target for persecution. And it will only get worse.

Another very similar method of social control has been introduced by the Red Chinese. It is known as the social credit system. The Chinese communist government now rates its subjects, and businesses, on their level of obedience to communist dictates. They are each given a social credit rating. Their social credit score determines whether they can use public transport, buy land, have access to certain business markets, etc. Many millions of Chinese subjects have already been banned from air and train travel based on their low social credit scores. This diabolical system effectively prevents people from “buying and selling” unless they kowtow to the communist state.

What’s worse, some in the United States are beginning to call for a social credit system based on China’s model. For instance, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang supports the system. Support will only grow as society plunges deeper into depravity and as more and more people become enamored by the false allure of socialist freebies.

Whether or not an official social credit system ever reaches our shores, an informal system is already taking shape. Tech oligarchs in United States and throughout the West are beginning to informally do what Red China is formally doing. Media platforms essentially rank their users and punish them for failure to comply with their political and cultural ideas. Just as Chinese are prevented from traveling, Americans are prevented from speaking. Once we lose the right to speak out, other rights will quickly succumb.

Red China is actively exporting its system of mass surveillance and repression to nations as diverse as Australia and Panama. It is foreseeable that the entire world will be blanketed with a similar system of top-down control as the world continues to move everything online and governments keep making excuses for interfering in internet privacy. In our digital age, we are in grave danger of losing our Liberty and being forced to take the mark of the beast. At the very least, those of us who oppose the Dragon’s system and refuse to bow down and worship the beast will be marginalized and discredited so severely that we will become second-class subjects.

It is important that Christians, and all people, wake up to the awful reality facing them. We are opposed by the greatest, most well-coordinated, most widespread system of tyranny the world has ever seen. Paganism is organized against us. An international network of Marxist Satanists is actively trying to enslave us. Gradually, mankind is being coerced or seduced into taking the mark of the beast. They are being led to believe what the beast says and follow in his footsteps of perversion and immorality. Humanity is being initiated into a Satanic world order without even realizing it.

While fear of a political world order is justified, we must realize that a political world order is a means to a more frightening end. The end sought for is an occult world order. As the world embraces Wicca (the fastest-growing religion in America and Britain), pagan spirituality, and Eastern mysticism, the beast grows in power and the Dragon laughs. We are in a war of the most serious sort and most people do not even realize it.

Decades ago, the honorable Ezra Taft Benson warned:

“Today we are at war. It is not enough to be against communism. We must shed our complacency and aggressively meet this challenge. . . .

“There can be no compromise with the communists. They are at war with us – with the entire cause of freedom, and the sooner every American faces this hard fact, the stronger our position will be. It is a real war. The lines are tightly drawn. The war is more insidious, more devious, more devastating, and more satanical than any war in our history. Moral principles, once universally recognized are ignored. International law once respected is thrown to the wind.

“The socialist-communist philosophy is devastatingly evil – destructive of all that is good, uplifting and beautiful. It strikes at the very foundation of all we hold dear” (Benson, “We Must Become Alerted and Informed,” speech, December 13, 1963).

It is time to wake up. It is time to arise. It is time to fight back and refuse to take the beast’s mark. Yes, it is easier to be complacent. It is easier to be quiet. It is easier to not rock the boat. However, Liberty is more important than a good social credit score. Freedom is more important than a monetized YouTube channel. And doing what is right no matter the consequences is more vital than anything. Does not rocking the boat really matter if in the end you lose your soul by supporting the beast system? Lose your soul you will if you support the ideology of the beast.

J. Edgar Hoover implored:

“Communism can exist only where it is protected and hidden. The spotlight of public exposure is the most effective means we have to use in destroying the communist conspiracy. Drag that conspiracy into the light! Tear it apart. Reveal the flaws in its philosophy. Keep the pressure on it. Force it into retreat” (Hoover, The Lion, October, 1957, in Newquist, ed., Prophets, Principles and National Survival, 251).

We must use what Liberty we have remaining to drag Satanic communism into the light and tear it apart. We must expose the enemy. We must not flinch as the beast lashes out against us and as the Dragon spews fire and hate in our direction. We can stand firmly against this global monstrosity if we remember how John says the story ends. He triumphantly prophesied:

“These [kings] have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them; for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:13-14).

In cannibalistic fashion, the beast will turn against the woman who rides it and will devour her. We are told:

“And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire” (Revelation 17:16).

When the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, overcomes the Dragon and his vicious Red beast, the followers of Christ who remained faithful will cheer and proclaim: “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen” (Revelation 18:2). Yes, Babylon will fall. Satan will be bound. And Satanic communism will be exposed, torn apart, and defeated. The only question remaining is who will be on the Lord’s side and who will succumb to Satan and unite with the beast.

If you seek to avoid taking the mark of the beast, learn of the communist conspiracy and forsake all the points of its false and Devilish philosophy. Cultivate your faith in the Redeemer Jesus Christ. Defend your Faith, Family, and Freedom. Cling to the true principles of Liberty, the U.S. Constitution, and your God-given rights. Exercise your right to speak out against the beast system that is taking over and infecting the world. Speak out, stand up, and try to save your country. In so doing, you might save your country; but you will certainly save your soul.

Censorship, Communism, and Common Sense

Posted on May 24, 2019 by zeev1776

“He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.” – Thomas Paine, “A Dissertation on the First Principles of Government,” 1795

As of yesterday, May 23, yours truly has been yet again banned by the Facebook censorship team for thirty days. This is the third time in 2019 that I have been blocked for a thirty-day span. If you’re keeping track, that means I will have spent three of the first six months of this year in what people commonly refer to as “Facebook jail.” And what was I banned for this time? Read on to learn the answer and to inhale a little common sense and gain some historical perspective.

The last time I was banned by Facebook’s gang of Marxist bullies, it was because I shared – on my personal page months previous – an anti-communist Norwegian World War II poster. Heaven forbid we publicly condemn communism! After all, recent polls show that 4 in 10 Americans view socialism (communism with a smiley face) favorably.

My most recent run-in with Facebook’s secret police likewise centers on a post I made in a private World War II group I created called World War Truth 2.0. The 2.0 was added after Facebook permanently deleted my first World War Truth group (as well as an even earlier page on the same topic) for alleged “hate speech” (i.e. the unpopular truth). I reproduce the offending post verbatim below.

For context, remember that this post was made months ago in my private group, showing that Facebook is really fishing for excuses to silence people they hate. Since the group is devoted to teaching an objective history of World War II, I posted a number of historical pictures of Adolf Hitler and added a short commentary. Judge for yourself if it merits 30 days in Facebook’s digital GULAG:

“A side of Hitler that perhaps you haven’t seen before. The picture that the controlled press likes to paint is that of a madman screaming at rallies. Hitler did put on a show at his rallies, but in everyday life he was calm and personable and loved being around his countrymen – especially the youth. Everyone who met him thought he was a talented, soft-spoken, knowledgeable gentleman of high culture. Winston Churchill, one of Hitler’s greatest enemies, said this about him in 1935:

“”Those who have met Hitler face to face in public, business, or on social terms, have found a highly competent, cool, well-informed functionary with an agreeable manner, a discerning smile and few have been unaffected by a subtle personal magnetism. . . .

“”One may dislike Hitler’s system and yet admire his patriotic achievement. If our country were defeated I should hope we should find a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations.”

“So, which mental image do you have in your head – that of a raving lunatic hell-bent on genocide and world domination, or that of a sincere and competent patriot trying his best to restore his nation?”

That is the identical post that provoked the wrath of the Facebook gods. I’m curious, when did presenting an alternative view of historical events become a crime? When did sharing historical photos become taboo? When did it become wrong to quote Winston Churchill? After all, the substantive portion of my comment was a quote from Winston Churchill.

Was Churchill also guilty of “hate speech,” of which I am so frequently accused? Should we stop quoting men like Churchill because he may have said something that is unpopular or controversial to modern ears? Should we be punished for exercising peaceable speech on a taxpayer-subsidized platform like Facebook (or anywhere else for that matter)? Should we close our minds, shut up, and accept as gospel everything we are told by the Establishment?

The truth, of course, is that the corrupt global Establishment has a carefully-crafted “official version” of 20th Century history to protect – an egregiously false narrative that paints their Marxist ideology as Heaven-sent and all opposing ideologies, like Hitler’s brand of nationalism, as incontrovertibly evil. This is why they go out of their way to condemn and ruin anyone who says a contrary word about the Second World War, Hitler, Germany, or the sacrosanct “Holocaust.” Every honest and informed individual knows that the “official” narrative about World War II is bogus from stem to stern; yet don’t you dare point out this fact on social media or the Marxist controllers and their crowd of lemmings and dupes will pounce on you and smear you in classic Red fashion!

I have observed an intriguing phenomenon among my fellow patriots and conspiracy researchers. They correctly say that you can’t trust the mainstream media and they devote much time to exposing the habitual lies. Yet, the moment the mainstream media mentions Hitler, World War II, or the “Holocaust,” these same skeptics suddenly fall into lock step with the media moguls and defend the Establishment’s narrative. Is this logical? Is this consistent with principle? Are you, dear reader, even as you decry the corruption of the media on one hand, a victim of the Establishment’s conditioning and brainwashing about World War II on the other?

Ask yourself this question: If the media lies about nearly everything else, which they do, then why would they tell the truth about Hitler, the Second World War, and the “Holocaust”? If they are consistently, routinely, habitually incorrect and biased in their reporting, which they are, then why is the subject of the Third Reich any different? What makes WWII off-limits for lying and biased reporting? If you are not skeptical about officialdom’s WWII narrative, then there is something seriously wrong with either your moral compass, your reasoning ability, or your fidelity to documentable truth. Please don’t be intellectually dishonest; admit that if the press is wrong about everything else, then their WWII reporting must be equally tainted.

It should be no big surprise at this late stage that the media is dominated by rabid communists. People use distracting terms like “liberal,” “democrat,” or “progressive,” but the media’s governing ideology is lifted straight from The Communist Manifesto. The media – including major news outlets, social media, Hollywood, publishing houses, and educational institutions – are part of an international network promoting the communist world revolution, albeit under names like “democracy,” “environmentalism,” and “gay rights.” Call it what you will, behind the mask is the dark face of Satanic communism.

Because the global Establishment is Marxist, they have a vested interested in discrediting men – no matter how long ago they lived – who fought the communist ideology and promoted moral principles, nationalism, and Independence. This is why Hitler has fallen under the ax. Contrary to what you may have been taught by uninformed or scheming school teachers, Hitler was not a Marxian socialist and his National Socialism bears almost no resemblance to Marxist-Leninist socialism. Hitler himself admitted to having used propaganda tactics that worked well in Soviet Russia, and he certainly courted the millions of communist voters in Germany, but his ideology was at odds with Bolshevism in nearly every way. In fact, Hitler may be said to have been the most anti-communist head of state in modern history.

Hitler’s fundamental ideas were anathema to communism. For instance, Hitler promoted the family unit and traditional gender roles, exalting the role of motherhood and making Germany one of the first nations to celebrate Mother’s Day. Conversely, communism seeks to abolish the family, warp gender roles, destroy the institution of marriage, and rip children from their parents’ care. Hitler promoted disciplined individualism; communism promoted rigid and forced collectivism. Hitler promoted an economic system that made Germany independent and wealthy; communism bankrupted Russia and sat as a parasite feeding off of funds stupidly and traitorously given by Western interests. And so forth.

In chapter four of Mein Kampf, Hitler recollected his early aversion to communism:

“In the years 1913 and 1914, in various circles, some of which today stand faithfully by the movement, I expressed for the first time the conviction that the question of the future of the German nation is the question of the destruction of Marxism.”

In a 1932 proclamation to the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP), Hitler also stated:

“For seventy years, disreputable bourgeois parties in Germany have exhausted the power of the national idea and, to a large degree, left our Volk at the mercy of Marxism. For seventy years the parties of democracy and, in their wake, the strictly Christian Center Party, have helped to corrupt our Volk by practicing sodomy with the forerunners of Bolshevism.

“Today they are clinging with a reprehensible thirst for power to a regime which would no longer belong to them if their own significance alone were any measure.

“Were the National Socialist Movement to cease existing today as a counterbalance to Marxism, Germany would be Bolshevist tomorrow” (Adolf Hitler, New Year’s Proclamation to the Party, January 1, 1932).

And in an interesting interview, Hitler drew this distinction between his movement and Marxism:

“Socialism is the science of dealing with the common weal. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists.

“Socialism is an ancient Aryan, Germanic institution. Our German ancestors held certain lands in common. They cultivated the idea of the common weal. Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic.

“. . . We are not internationalists. Our socialism is national” (Adolf Hitler, interview with George Sylvester Viereck, 1923).

When you actually read Hitler’s own words, as opposed to the lying interpretations and synopses by Marxist “experts,” you are struck by how frequently and emphatically he spoke out against the communist conspiracy. He often called it a “Satanic” movement and at least once termed communism the “Red Plague,” a description I independently thought up and have used for years.

Hitler was not alone in his utter disdain of Marxism. The National Socialist leadership, and, indeed, the German people, were avowed enemies of communism. Rudolf Butmann, a caucus leader in the NSDAP, said of National Socialism:

“Our worldview is not directed against Catholicism or Protestantism, not against Christianity, but rather is based on Christianity and against cultural bolshevism, against the false liberalism of the Enlightenment, and against materialism” (Rudolf Butmann, January, 1931, in Richard Steigmann-Gall, The Holy Reich: Nazi Conceptions of Christianity, 1919-1945, 80).

Two additional quotes from Joseph Goebbels, chief minister of propaganda in the Third Reich, will drive this point home. The first is a lengthy excerpt from a phenomenal speech delivered by Mr. Goebbels. Space is limited here, but I encourage you to find and study the full text. Goebbels explained:

“[A]n astonishing misconception exists among the most prominent West European circles as to the danger which communism presents to the life of the individual and of the nation. . . .

“[T]he Propagandist Institutions of the Communist International are undoubtedly well organised and have not been unsuccessful in putting before the public of the world, outside of the Russian frontiers, an entirely false picture of Bolshevism. This picture is an extraordinarily dangerous one because of the tension which it can and must naturally cause. . . .

“International communism would entirely do away with all national and racial qualities which are founded in human nature itself; in property it sees the most primary cause of the breakdown of world trade in the capitalist system. Accordingly it exploits this through an extensive and carefully organised and brutal system of action, setting aside personal values and sacrificing the individual to a hollow mass-idol that is only a travesty of actual life itself. At the same time it ignores and destroys all the idealistic and higher strivings of men and nations, through its own crass and empty materialist principles. . . .

“Bolshevism is explicitly determined on bringing about a revolution among all the nations. In its own essence it has an aggressive and international tendency . . . Bolshevism denies religion as a principle, fundamentally and entirely. It recognises religion only as an “opium of the people.” . . . But the Bolshevics carry on a campaign, directed by the Jews, with the international underworld, against culture as such. Bolshevism is not merely anti-bourgeois; it is against human civilisation itself.

“In its final consequences it signifies the destruction of all the commercial, social, political and cultural achievements of Western Europe, in favour of a deracinated and nomadic international cabal which has found its representation in Judaism. This grandiose attempt to overthrow the civilised world is so much more dangerous in its effects because the Communist International, which is a past master in the art of misrepresentation, has been able to find its protectors and pioneers among a great part of these intellectual circles of Europe whose physical and spiritual destruction must be the first result of a Bolshevic world revolution.

“Bolshevism, which is in reality an attack on the world of the spirit, pretends to be intellectual itself. Where circumstances demand, it comes as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. But underneath the false mask which it here and there assumes, there are always the satanic forces of world destruction. And where it has had the opportunity of practising its theories it has created “The Paradise of the Workers and Peasants,” in the shape of a fearful desert of starving and hungering people. If we are to take the word of its doctrine then we find a terrible contradiction between its theory and its practice. Its theory is glowing and grandiose but it carries poison in its attractive gloss. Over against this, what we have from it in reality is terrible and forbidding. This is shown in the millions of sacrifices which have been made in honour of it, through executions with the sword, the axe or the hangman’s rope or hunger. . . .

“Swept clear of international enemies and united under the National Socialist standard, Germany placed herself at the head of the groups marshalled in the fight against the international bolshevisation of the world. Herein she is quite aware that she is fulfilling a world mission which reaches out beyond all national frontiers. On the successful issue of this mission depends the fate of our civilised nations. . . .

“If there is a spark of reason left in the world, and the faculty for clear thinking, then the states and peoples must be shocked at the prospect and induced to come together for their common defence against this acute danger.

“. . . [Bolshevism is a] world disease . . .

“Murder of individuals, murder of hostages and mass murder are the favourite means applied by Bolshevism to get rid of all opposition to its propaganda. . . .

“We have thus before our eyes a full picture of this fearful and harrowing mass terrorisation which is only approximately paralleled by even the most bloodcurdling examples of war or revolution that are recorded in the history of the world. This is the actual system of bloodshed and terror and death which is carried out by hysterical and criminal political maniacs who would have it copied in every country and among every people with the same terrorising practices, in so far as they might find the possibility of doing so. . . .

“Bolshevism is the declared enemy of all nations and of all religions and of all human civilisation. The World Revolution is now, as always, its acknowledged and proclaimed goal. . . .

“As far as we ourselves are concerned, we have completely overcome this menace. Indeed perhaps, outside of his work in Germany, the greatest service which our Führer has rendered the world is that here in Germany he has set up a barrier against world Bolshevism against which the waves of this vile Asiatic-Jewish flood break in vain. He has taught us not only to recognise Bolshevism as the world’s greatest enemy but also to meet it face to face and crush it. . . .

“History will one day give due credit to the Führer for having saved Germany from the most acute and deadly peril by overthrowing Bolshevism and thereby saving the whole civilisation of the West from the abyss that yawned before it. . . . .

“. . . this [is the] most decisive struggle that the history of the world has experienced” (Joseph Goebbels, speech, September 13, 1935, “Communism With the Mask Off”).

If that was not frank enough, a second quote sums up the National Socialist attitude towards Marxism:

“Bolshevism must be exterminated if Europe is to regain its normal state of health” (Joseph Goebbels, speech, “Bolshevism in Theory and Practice,” September 10, 1936).

Every honest and informed individual knows the unparalleled horrors, slaughters, and repressions that communism unleashed on the world. We do not need to recount them here. However, since some readers likely take umbrage at Goebbels’ reference to a Jewish connection to communism, I take a few paragraphs to explain the matter before I move on.

The Jewish affinity for communism is historically indisputable. For instance, Karl Marx, originally named Moses Mordecai Levy, was a Jew who hailed from a long line of rabbis. His political mentor, Moses Hess, was an infamous Jewish revolutionary and one of the founders of Zionism. Moses Hess bragged about turning Friedrich Engels – Marx’s cohort and frequent financier – from a Christian into a fiery atheist (Engels wasn’t the only man Hess converted into a radical).

In the early days and for generations thereafter, the leaders of the socialist/communist movement all over Europe were predominately Jews. Lenin was part-Jewish, self-identified as a Jew, and spoke Yiddish with his Jewish wife. Trotsky was a Jew. Stalin was not a Jew, but his second wife was, as well as most of the leaders inside the Bolshevik government, such as Yagoda, Kamenev, Zinoviev, Sverdlov, Radek, etc. The heads of the brutal GULAG concentration camps were nearly exclusively Jews. Some of the bankers and individuals who funded the Bolshevik coup in 1917 were Jewish. And so on and so forth.

So pronounced was the Jewish involvement in revolutionary communism that Winston Churchill was compelled to write an article exposing the cabal in 1920. He declared:

“There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews, it is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin [whom recent research reveals to have part Jewish], the majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders . . . In the Soviet institutions the predominance of Jews is even more astonishing. And the prominent, if not indeed the principal, part in the system of terrorism applied by the Extraordinary Commissions for Combating Counter-Revolution has been taken by Jews, and in some notable cases by Jewesses. The same evil prominence was obtained by Jews in the brief period of terror during which Bela Kun ruled in Hungary. The same phenomenon has been presented in Germany (especially in Bavaria), so far as this madness has been allowed to prey upon the temporary prostration of the German people. Although in all these countries there are many non-Jews every whit as bad as the worst of the Jewish revolutionaries, the part played by the latter in proportion to their numbers in the population is astonishing.”

Those were the words of Winston Churchill – the same figure whose respectful sentiments about Hitler got me banned from Facebook for thirty more days. Truth is offensive to the guilty. And Marxists hate nothing more than plain truth. Truth destroys their lies and their counterfeit system of Diabolism like holy water destroys Dracula. I encourage you to read Churchill’s full 1920 editorial reproduced by historian David Irving’s Focal Point Press here.

Now here is the point. You can dispute whether their Jewish heritage had anything to do with the communists’ acts of conspiracy, terror, murder, and repression, but it’s time we stopped suppressing the basic facts. Not only about this episode of history, but about all historical events. The documentable fact is in this case is that the majority of leading Bolsheviks were ethnic Jews. Not practicing or religious Jews (though many like Marx and Lenin were active Satanists), but ethnic Jews. Once we admit this, we can then examine seriously whether or not their Jewishness influenced anything at all or if it is just a fun historical tidbit. But please let’s not suppress facts. We are no better than the Marxists when we behave like that.

Since I raised the subject, you may be curious about my conclusion regarding the Jewishness of communism. My best research leads me to the conclusion that the international communist conspiracy is not Jewish despite the disproportionate number of Jews involved. Communism is, rather, Satanic. The golden thread that binds the high-level conspirators together is not their ethnicity or race, but their political-religious ideology and their devotion to their Dark Master. There are specific reasons why so many Jews are involved, mostly centering on their faith’s wholesale rejection of Jesus Christ, but suffice it to say that communism is not strictly Jewish; it is Satanic.

I now come back to my previous point about our historical blind spot regarding the Second World War and everything associated with it. Our lack of historical understanding leads us to draw wrong conclusions about events in our day. WWII, for instance, revealed plain as day the threat of world communism. A true rendering of WWII history would show that the Soviets brought about that conflagration through their internationally-positioned moles and agents, that their agents used the war to create the framework for a world government called the United Nations, and that the Soviet Union was the only true winner of the conflict. Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union, if properly understood as a reluctant preemptive attack designed to thwart Stalin’s plan to invade and conquer all of Western Europe, hammers home the point that the communists and their allies were the real aggressors then and that it is in their nature to prey on other nations even today.

But the communists cannot afford to be seen as the bad guy. So, instead of allowing a free exchange of ideas and information, they silence their opposition, project their sins on others, and demonize those who fight most fiercely against them. They have done this with Hitler and the Germans and they do it today. I submit that if you truly understand communism and how it has historically operated, then you understand why I have been blocked for another thirty days by Facebook for doing nothing but sharing real history. I also submit that if you don’t understand communism, then you don’t quite comprehend Facebook’s petulant need to silence me, Alex Jones, and others like us.

People sometimes refer to Facebook as “Fascistbook,” but in truth it is communist. And it regards anything traditional, moral, upright, just, or nationalist as poison. It cannot afford to allow a positive or alternative view of anti-communist crusaders like Hitler to stand. That might cause people to question their usurped authority and their pretended prerogative to dictate what you believe and think. Therefore, communism’s enemies must be attacked and demeaned, and their supporters silenced. Unless they can make people like me disappear, they know the truth will ultimately prevail and their house of cards will come crumbling down on top of them.

It is time that my fellow patriots and conspiracy buffs wake up and realize that the media lies not only about “conservatives” and figures like the Founding Fathers, but that they also lie about men like Adolf Hitler and events like Pearl Harbor and the “Holocaust.” Do not be guilty of condemning media bias in absolutely everything but then fall into lock step with them like hypnotized drones when they talk about Hitler’s Germany. Stop falling for the old Marxist lies about Germany, the Third Reich, and World War II. Do the research for yourself, use the brain God gave you, and deal in facts rather than supposition and character assassination.

No matter how many times Facebook shuts down my pages and groups, I will not be silenced. Even if I am wrong at times, as many of you think I am, I have a right to be wrong without being silenced. I have a right to share historical photos and quotes from influential world leaders like Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, or whomever. I have a right to question the media and to challenge the Establishment’s narrative of historical events that still affect our lives today.

Facebook receives billions in tax subsidies and cannot be considered a private entity. They have no right to silence people who merely have a different opinion and who have not called for violence or violated legitimate public decency laws. If they silence me, why can’t they silence you? If you do not stand up for me, why should I stand up for you? It’s a two-way street, my friend.

We are all in this together. We must all band together against the communist menace – yes, even if that means admitting that Hitler was not quite the “Devil incarnate” that his Marxist enemies allege. The company you keep is not half as important as the principles you keep. And when even those people whom we do not like stand with us in this titanic battle against the Red Plague, we should stand with them, at least in this respect.

Those who will not stand up against the communist conspiracy and its assault on our Faith, Families, and Freedom are enemies to the Republic and to humanity. Don’t be numbered among that group. Stand up and challenge the corrupt Marxist Establishment, even if it means rubbing shoulders with unusual company or bringing down the enemy’s wrath upon you. Stand up and be counted for Freedom! And God bless you in your sincere efforts.

Truth Doesn’t Sell

Posted on April 29, 2019 by zeev1776

Here’s a secret you may not know: Truth doesn’t sell. Not very well, anyhow. A general rule of thumb is that when you see national best-selling or major award-winning books, they do not present the full picture. Of course, this does not apply in every case. However, by and large, the books that present “the whole truth and nothing but the truth” about how our world operates and who pulls the strings behind the scenes do not become the best sellers and their authors are not household names. This is the tragic reality in our age of universal deceit.

The big-name conservatives like Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, and Sean Hannity often do good work and help inform people on many important topics. They are generally fun to listen to and sometimes they even flip back a corner of the curtain and give glimpses of what’s really going on. However, these types of de facto celebrities stop short. They are half measures. They do not part the curtain of secrecy far enough or long enough to reveal who is really running our world into the ground.

To these big-name conservative figures, the culprit for everything wrong is “the Democrats” – and possibly a “Rino” Republican now and then. Or it might be the Hollywood celebrities or CNN commentators. Some even go so far as to identify the Marxist billionaire George Soros as the root of all evil (this last deduction is closer to reality, but falls short nonetheless).

Yet, these same media personalities, talking heads, and best-selling authors never speak of the Order of Illuminati, the Masonic elite, the Sabbatean-Kabbalists, the Jesuits, the New Age gurus, Lord Maitreya and the Ascended Masters, the Tavistock Institute, the Round Table groups, Luciferianism, Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA), or Satanic communism. They don’t name-drop figures like Helena Blavatsky, Albert Pike, Moses Hess, Lord Rothschild, Jacob Schiff, Annie Besant, and Benjamin Creme. And they don’t dare utter the word “conspiracy” unless they’re commenting on lower level conspiracies or denouncing people like me as “conspiracy theorists” for suggesting that their worldview isn’t perfectly correct, that vaccines aren’t completely safe, that 9/11 wasn’t carried out by a handfull of Arabs with boxcutters, that JFK wasn’t killed by a physics-defying bullet, or that, God forbid, Israel isn’t God’s holy Kingdom on earth.

Furthermore, these mainstream media voices only give you a cursory look at some very important subjects, often omitting the salient facts. For instance, you have doubtless heard of the Federal Reserve and know how it prints money out of thin air. And maybe you are even privy to the fact that it is a privately-owned entity and not federal at all. But do you know that the Federal Reserve plan was concocted by a literal conspiracy of powerful men using aliases and meeting secretly on Jekyll Island three years prior to the fraudulent passing of the Federal Reserve Act? Certainly you won’t see the details of that fateful conspiracy discussed in best-selling books or on prime-time radio and TV.

The talking heads are often deceived and thus present a very stunted view of history – a false view that leads to numerous wrong assumptions in other matters. For instance, you have heard the conservative champions repeat over and over and over that President Reagan won the Cold War, that we defeated the Evil Empire, that capitalism triumphed over communism, and that socialism “always fails.” Each and every one of these assertions is patently, verifiably, and utterly false.

As I have painstakingly documented in my books and articles over many years, the Soviet Union did not collapse. The fake “fall” of the USSR came about according to a long-rang plan instituted by the Soviets decades prior as forewarned by numerous defectors such as Anatoliy Golitsyn and confirmed in the blunt writings and speeches of conspirators like Mikhail Gorbachev. The Soviets faked their demise not because they were in a weak position, but because they occupied the high ground and needed one final ruse to get the West to disarm and go to sleep. And does socialism really fail? True, it fails to provide its adherents with prosperity, happiness, or Freedom, but that is by design. The goal of socialism (which is nothing but a wing of the greater communist conspiracy) is to enslave, destroy, and control – all of which is does so masterfully. In fact, so thoroughly successful has communism/socialism been that quite literally every government on planet earth has adopted socialist principles and policies. Our own Republic, the last bastion of any semblance of Liberty and the final hope for humanity, has adopted all ten planks of The Communist Manifesto to one degree or another. Yet we are to believe the voices on the radio when they say “communism is dead,” “capitalism won,” and “there is no communist conspiracy” today.

These conservative celebrities also have a weak sense of discernment when it comes to certain historical figures who served the conspiracy. For instance, Martin Luther King, Jr. is held up almost universally as a role model despite the fact that he was an immoral, lying, communist agitator who plagiarized his doctoral theses, rubbed shoulders with known communist agents, and tried to stir up violence and race war despite his public claims to the contrary. When it comes to judging people by the true content of their character, these big-name figures frequently fail. And because the blind are leading the blind, a lot of people are falling into the ditch (Matthew 15:14).

Again I note that the big names will not touch conspiracies. When they do, it is to scoff or to tell people off for believing in them. They don’t dare discuss alternative theories about 9/11, the Oklahoma City Bombing, the JFK assassination, Sandy Hook, the “Holocaust,” and countless other incidents where the “official” version of events lacks the ring of truth and falls flat. They don’t talk about the Illuminati-Masonic-Kabbalist conspiracy concocted at the 1782 Congress of Wilhelmsbad. They won’t even detail the more modern manifestation of this conspiracy – the communist world revolution. They might talk about the symptoms of the disease – feminism, environmentalism, international terrorism, modern liberalism, etc., – but they don’t connect them to their true, Satanic, conspiratorial source.

For all the good they do, and they indeed do a fair amount of good, the well-known conservative authors and radio personalities fall short. They don’t paint the bigger picture for their audience. Like an annoyingly incomplete jigsaw puzzle, they don’t have enough of the pieces for you to make out the complete image. God bless them for the people they help, but I pray the Lord opens their eyes to see the bigger picture so that they can then take their audience the rest of the way down the road to comprehension of the enemy we face; for we must first correctly identify the enemy before we can defeat him.

Yes, you know Limbaugh, Savage, Beck, and the whole gang. You hear their names almost daily. However, you may not know the names of some of the best researchers out there who raise their voices against conspiracy, write books on critical subjects, and advocate the truth in an articulate way. Among others, political analyst Joel Skousen, researcher Jake Morphonios, radio host Jeff Rense, and authors Ken Bowers, Henry Makow, Deanna Spingola, MS King, Thomas Goodrich, and John Coleman, do tremendous work. Scores of other authors and rabble-rousers such as myself are even less well-known, yet use all available resources to trumpet the truth. And outlets such as World Affairs Brief, Blackstone Intelligence, ZeroHedge, the Washington Free Beacon, The Liberty Daily, Tomato Bubble, and Rense are targets for both the corrupt Establishment and their Social Justice Warrior lackeys, and mainstream conservatism, because they approach near to the truth. You know you’re over the target when you start taking flak.

When will conservatives wake up? When will conservative teachers and radio gurus fully commit to the battle and dare to tell the full truth? When will Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and the others start researching and teaching the pertinent reality about the Illuminati, the Jesuit Order, the New Age movement, Lord Maitreya, Skull and Bones, the Council on Foreign Relations, Freemasonry, the Bohemian Club, and every other clique and secret order advocating that foul, pagan, communist ideology? God help conservative America wake up before it is too late!

Ultimately, only a hardened segment of Christian constitutionalists can save our Republic from total ruin. Only alert, awake, and active Americans who understand the occult conspiracy trying to enslave us can, with God’s help, prevent our total subjugation. Only the voluntary sacrifice of our all on the altar of Freedom, truth, and right is sufficient to regain our Independence.

I leave you with a factual statement from Ronald Reagan that applies more today than when he said it in his classic 1964 speech “A Time for Choosing.”

“Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? . . . If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he’ll eat you last.

“If all of this seems like a great deal of trouble, think what’s at stake. We are faced with the most evil enemy mankind has known in his long climb from the swamp to the stars. . . .

“. . . If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.

“. . . Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it’s a simple answer after all.

“You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” There is a point beyond which they must not advance. . . .

“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.”

Hemisphere of Freedom

Posted on April 9, 2019 by zeev1776

In 1823, President James Monroe formalized a latent national policy of protecting the Western Hemisphere from the tyrannical encroachments of outside influence. This noble policy came to be known as the Monroe Doctrine. Today, the Monroe Doctrine is often viewed as a relic of the past – an outdated, or even imperialistic, policy. President Obama’s anti-American regime in fact announced that “the era of the Monroe Doctrine is over.” This article is a brief defense of the Monroe Doctrine and the United States’ role in preserving the Western Hemisphere as one of Freedom.

Before delivering his hallmark speech to Congress formally announcing the policy, President James Monroe wrote to Thomas Jefferson for advice. The Sage of Monticello responded with a letter that confirmed Monroe’s convictions and gave him some of the iconic phraseology he would later use. Jefferson wrote of President Monroe’s proposed doctrine:

“The question presented by the letters you have sent me is the most momentous which has ever been offered to my contemplation since that of independance that made us a nation; this sets our compass, and points the course which we are to steer thro’ the ocean of time opening on our view. And never could we embark on it under circumstances more auspicious. Our first and fundamental maxim should be, never to entangle ourselves in the broils of Europe; our 2d never to suffer Europe to intermeddle in Cis-Atlantic affairs. America, North & South, has a set of interests distinct from those of Europe, and peculiarly her own. She should therefore have a system of her own, separate and apart from that of Europe. While the last is laboring to become the domicil of despotism, our endeavor should surely be to make our hemisphere that of freedom.”

The great Thomas Jefferson was thrilled at the prospect of making ours a “hemisphere . . . of freedom.” The principle of intervening in foreign affairs when those affairs negatively impacted or directly threatened a nation’s legitimate interests or their national well being was internationally recognized and remains legitimate to this day. As president, Jefferson had in fact sent the newly-minted U.S. Navy and Marine Corps to fight “state-sponsored maritime marauders” in the Mediterranean. Yet, the policy had never been publicly articulated by an American administration in the way President Monroe was proposing.

The bold idea that President Monroe and Thomas Jefferson shared was that the Western Hemisphere, being distinct from Europe and having an inherently different set of interests and values, should never be meddled with by European (or any foreign) powers. They knew that as a nation we could not afford to allow hostile powers to turn our hemisphere into an abode for tyranny like they had done to the rest of the world. Rather, the United States should use her influence to maintain the Independence of her fellow American states – both to protect their integrity and to strengthen the borderlands of our own Republic.

In his monumental message to Congress on December 2, 1823, President Monroe described what America’s new policy would entail and the reasons for its implementation. He said in part:

“The citizens of the United States cherish sentiments the most friendly in favor of the liberty and happiness of their fellow men on that side of the Atlantic. In the wars of the European powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy so to do.

“It is only when our rights are invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries or make preparation for our defense. With the movements in this hemisphere we are of necessity more immediately connected, and by causes which must be obvious to all enlightened and impartial observers.

“The political system of the allied powers is essentially different in this respect from that of America. This difference proceeds from that which exists in their respective Governments; and to the defense of our own, which has been achieved by the loss of so much blood and treasure, and matured by the wisdom of their most enlightened citizens, and under which we have enjoyed unexampled felicity, this whole nation is devoted.

“We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interfere, but with the Governments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States.”

The “allied powers” to which President Monroe referred were Russia, Austria, and Prussia, with occasional French involvement. This Russian-led, Russian-instigated, Russian-dominated combination was known as the Holy Alliance. Its purpose was to crush popular Liberty movements worldwide and retain so-called “Christian” monarchies in power. Indeed, the Russian tsar was convinced that Providence had called him to uphold and extend the monarchical system. The reality, of course, was that God moved upon the American patriots of 1776 and 1787 to break away from the rotten monarchical apparatus and establish a limited constitutionalist system of individual Liberty and personal accountability.

The Monroe Doctrine must be seen within the context of the movements and plans of the misguided Holy Alliance. During the first two decades of the nineteenth century, uprisings gripped Latin America as nations threw off the shackles of Spanish power and created independent states – Mexico, Panama, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, and so forth. An online piece describes the Holy Alliance’s reaction to these Independence movements and the American response to said reaction:

“At just this point, Russia, Prussia and Austria formed an association called the Holy Alliance to protect themselves against revolution. By intervening in countries where popular movements threatened monarchies, the Alliance — joined at times by France — hoped to prevent the spread of revolution into its dominions. This policy was the antithesis of the American principle of self-determination.

“As long as the Holy Alliance confined its activities to the Old World, it aroused no anxiety in the United States. But when the Alliance announced its intention of restoring its former colonies to Spain, Americans became very concerned. For its part, Britain resolved to prevent Spain from restoring its empire because trade with Latin America was too important to British commercial interests. London urged the extension of Anglo-American guarantees to Latin America, but Secretary of State John Quincy Adams convinced Monroe to act unilaterally: “It would be more candid, as well as more dignified, to avow our principles explicitly to Russia and France, than to come in as a cock-boat in the wake of the British man-of-war.””

The Holy Alliance, by its very nature, could not be contained to the “Old World.” The text itself stated that the monarchs were bound to support each other “on all occasions and in all places.” On October 17, 1823, President James Monroe wrote to Thomas Jefferson informing him that he had received letters from George Canning, a prominent British politician of the era, “suggesting designs of the holy alliance, against the Independance of So America, & proposing a cooperation, between G. Britain & the UStates, in support of it, against the members of that alliance.” With the threat of Russian interference in the Americas looming nearer, James Monroe consulted Thomas Jefferson and crafted the Monroe Doctrine.

One of the exemplary patriots of our time, Ezra Taft Benson, gave us poignant insight into the purpose and necessity of the Monroe Doctrine. He affirmed:

“The purpose was to maintain the current balance of power so that we would not become the targets of future aggressive designs of European nation with massive strongholds on or near our borders. It was felt that the maintenance of an ocean between ourselves and European powers would safeguard us from becoming reluctantly entwined in the perennial intrigues and wars of the Continent.

“Whenever the physical security of the United States is directly threatened, as it was in the Cuban crisis, we must not hesitate to uphold the traditional meaning of the Monroe Doctrine: our unilateral opposition to outside intervention in the Western Hemisphere. This Doctrine laid down as a broad principle of action and applied to world communism enjoys strong public support for foreign policy decisions. . . .

“The Monroe Doctrine is based upon the principle, long recognized in international law journals, that a nation has a right to interfere in the affairs of another nation if such interference is with in the framework of self-defense. In other words, if the establishment by a foreign power of unusually heavy military installations is observed on a nation’s frontier, and if that nation has good reason to believe that those installations eventually are going to be used as part of an offensive attack against it, then it is justified in taking the initiative in destroying those installations, without waiting for the actual attack. Such action, although aggressive by itself, is viewed as part of a generally defensive maneuver.

“. . . the Monroe Doctrine neither added nor detracted one iota from what the United States had a right to do. All it accomplished was to inform other nations what conditions the United States would consider a sufficient threat to its long-range security to justify involving, if need be, the sovereign right of preventative self-protection. If other nations wished to test our resolve or our strength in these matters, that was up to them, but at least we went on record and laid our cards on the table so that no one could say they didn’t know.

“The important point, however, is that, even if the Monroe Doctrine had never been enunciated, the United States – or any nation for that matter – would still be justified in attempting to prevent an upset on the stable balance of power among its friendly bordering neighbors if it were convinced that such a shift in power eventually would result in a threat to its own security. That principle, which is at the heart of a nation’s right to self-preservation, is just as valid today as ever before – and especially so for the United States.

“. . . The Monroe Doctrine is right, it just needs to be applied.

A bearded gravedigger and his Soviet overlord

“There is no doubt in my mind that the American people would be angry if they fully realized the extent to which our leaders have abandoned the vital principle of preventative self-defense on behalf of our nation. If a man says he is going to shoot you, and then points a gun in your direction, you don’t have to wait until he pulls the trigger before you take action to overpower him. When the communists say they are going to bury us and then move a bearded gravedigger right next door, we should grab him by the hair of his chin and throw him out! And we don’t have to apologize to anyone for our action.

“What we need is a new application of the Monroe Doctrine – a declaration to the nations of the world to inform them that no longer are we going to tolerate communist or other hostile regimes on or near our borders” (see Benson, An Enemy Hath Done This“).

What a powerful statement of reality! As a nation, we have abandoned our prerogative to defend ourselves against the threats and encroachments of hostile communist regimes in our hemisphere. We have betrayed the Monroe Doctrine! We have sold out our security in order to appease the socialistic “international community” and communist-controlled organizations like the United Nations. We have not cared enough that our nation has been made extremely vulnerable by the communist infestation south of our border.

It is not inconsequential that the Monroe Doctrine was established to thwart Russian meddling in the Americas when we consider that today Russian/Chinese communist meddling is the gravest threat in our hemisphere. The Twentieth Century saw the tragic planting of the Red flag throughout the world. In few places was communist intervention so overt and successful as in Latin America.

JFK’s campaign advisor, Adolf Berle, said that Latin America was “an active Cold War theatre of attack upon the United States.” He further stated that, specifically, it was “Russian and Chinese stimulation and arming of local political movements to [the] point where they can be converted into civil wars and used to seize and set up governments which will be hostile to the United States” that was the foremost threat (Stephen G Rabe, The Most Dangerous Area in the World: John F. Kennedy Confronts Communist Revolution in Latin America, 22). It was so in the 60s and it is so today in 2019.

Cristeros executed during the communist revolution in Mexico

Most people do not comprehend the menacing leviathan that sits camouflaged and ready to strike from Latin America. Americans do not realize, for instance, that Mexico has been a communist stronghold for nearly a century. Tens of thousands of Christian Freedom fighters, Cristeros, were murdered as the Masonic communists conquered the nation. Under this pernicious influence, Mexico was the first nation in the world to recognize the illegitimate Soviet regime in Russia. It was the land Trotsky called home when Stalin exiled him from the Soviet Union. For decades, Red Mexico has covertly waged war against us via illicit drugs, illegal immigration, etc. And the rest of Latin America has fared nearly as poorly under the advances of global communism.

I currently sit writing this article in Panama City, Panama. The Chinese influence in some places here is almost in-your-face obvious. The fact that the U.S. government gave away the critically-important Panama Canal, and that it has fallen into Chinese hands, is equally obvious. It was always one of the communist goals to wrest control of the Canal from us, and they have succeeded. What’s more, Panama’s outgoing president cozied up with Red China during his unpopular term, signing numerous major economic and construction deals that greatly benefit China and give that aggressive communist nation major leverage in Panamanian affairs. Chinese influence is growing so profoundly here that Huawei recently began installing an invasive facial recognition system similar to the one the Reds installed in their own enslaved nation.

Unfortunately, the United States has fiddled while the Americas have burned. That is, communist-sponsored regimes have been installed throughout Central and South America while we have ignored the crisis – indeed, while certain traitors in our government tied our hands and facilitated the conflagration. To be sure, we have fought back in a limited way. Operation Just Cause in Panama, for instance, was carried out to remove the Marxist dictator Manuel Noriega from power. Noriega had recently declared war on the United States and entered into dangerous agreements with Soviet client states. Caches of Soviet weapons were discovered everywhere by our military personnel during the operation. Despite the success of Operation Just Cause – an operation cheered by the Panamanian people at the time, though considered unjust American “imperialism” now after a generation of brainwashing – Panama has once more been roped into the communist orbit, as noted.

Brazil is one nation in our hemisphere that is currently fighting back against communism. Brazil is the B in the acronym BRICS, which is a new international communist bloc headed by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. However, late last year, Jair Bolsonaro was elected president of Brazil. Bolsonaro ran on a blatantly anti-communist platform. In his acceptance speech, he said: “We cannot continue flirting with socialism, communism, populism and left-wing extremism.” If only we, too, recognized the dire threat communism poses to our Hemisphere, we could move to stop it. Though I think the victories are short-lived, I pray God helps Brazil succeed in cleansing their nation.

One of the most glaring cases of communist intervention in the Americas is Venezuela. Venezuela was once a prosperous nation before the communists took over. Today, however, socialist policies have turned Venezuela into a third-world trash heap where people are literally starving and Nicolas Maduro runs the county like a classic Marxist dictator. Russia and China, of course, have been behind the tragic destruction. President Trump has recently turned his sights on Venezuela and has threatened military action (though his threat to intervene is likely as hollow as his promise to put U.S. troops on our Southern border). In response, Russia rushed in to safeguard its stronghold. In December, Russian nuclear bombers landed in Venezuela and in March Russian troops arrived. If Russian nuclear bombers three hours from our border do not spur us to invoke the Monroe Doctrine to protect our nation’s flanks, what will?

Will the United States act to cut out the communist tumor or will Venezuela remain a Cuba-like GULAG for decades more? And what of Nicaragua, Uruguay, and the other states in our back yard that we have allowed to be seized by the communists? What will we do? Will we step aside and allow Russia and China to fully take over? Will we further allow ourselves to be surrounded and isolated in a hemisphere we once swore to preserve in Freedom? It seems obvious to me that the only thing that can save the Latin American states from communist aggression is American intervention – yes, even military intervention where necessary.

If you care about the welfare, preservation, and self-defense of our great Republic, you must support the Monroe Doctrine. As Ezra Taft Benson stated, the Monroe Doctrine is correct but needs to be applied. Will we finally take the initiative to free Latin America from communist strangulation and remove the grave threat to our south? Truthfully, the threat is not far away; it touches us every day via illegal immigration and the mass smuggling of narcotics into our land. It is not merely a border crisis that afflicts us – it is a crisis engulfing the whole of our hemisphere.

The situation in the Americas is extremely critical. To invoke or not to invoke the Monroe Doctrine is one of the most pressing questions facing us. As for me, I will denounce communist aggression wherever it festers. And I openly throw my support in with those past American patriots who wanted the Western Hemisphere to be a Hemisphere of Freedom.
