America’s
government had been embroiled in a shameful impeachment charade for months now. The
Democrats are demonstrating that there is virtually no limit to what they
are willing to do to attack the president and undermine the last election—and
the next one. Meanwhile, revelations continue to emerge about their abuse of
the intelligence agencies to spy on Americans, even the president himself.
People need to understand what a dangerous
threat this is to the very foundation of this nation! [Many of the Dems in our
state now run political ads touting how ‘bipartisan’ bills they’ve worked on have
succeeded despite ALL of them voting to impeach…most of the so-called bills
touted are almost meaningless compared to our bigger needs].
What is happening in the Democratic Party is
an extension of, and intensification of a process started by the previous
president.
When Barack Obama promised to “fundamentally
change America” during his 2008 presidential run, few people knew what he
really meant. Now that he is out of office, it is becoming clearer all the time
that the change he was talking about was something far more dangerous than many
people assumed.
He
meant changing America
from a constitutional republic. And what we are witnessing in the country today shows
that, to an alarming degree, he succeeded!
In an address to Democratic donors this past
November, Mr. Obama said that if Democrats want to be elected, they need to
conceal their radical views. “This is still a country that is less
revolutionary than it is interested in improvement,” he said. “Even as we push
the envelope and we are bold in our vision, we also have to be rooted in
reality. The average American doesn’t think we have to completely
tear down the system and remake it” (emphasis mine
throughout).
The average American doesn’t think that,
but he does, and
these donors do! And he wasn’t telling them to abandon that goal—only to
be more
underhanded about it!
Mr. Obama is contemptuously and openly
discussing what he meant by fundamentally
transforming America. Now that he is out of office, he tells
us what his real goal was and still is—“to completely tear down the system and
remake it”!
In the past, such revolutions usually caused
millions of people to spill their blood.
If you
think my view is unreal, consider this: Never have we seen a more bitterly divided America, and this
man who fundamentally transformed America caused much of this
division. He almost destroyed America’s constitutional republic. Never have we
seen such hatred between American people.
All
this ought to terrify every American. Many revolutions end in a civil war
filled with suffering and death.
In
America’s civil war, neither side will win. Bible prophecy thunders a deadly
message that an enemy nation will conquer us. We must wake up and repent for
God to save us this time.
“Even as we push the
envelope and we are bold in our vision, we also have to be rooted in reality.
The average American doesn’t think we have to completely tear down the system
and remake it.”
BARACK
OBAMA
America’s current president, Donald Trump, is fighting back
against that radicalism, and having some success. Perhaps the most important is
the way he is exposing the crimes and evils of the radical left! Because of the
progress he is making, many people believe that the danger is past and the
nation is heading in a new direction. But sadly, this will not change the
country’s direction. The only thing that would do that is repentance before God—and
that is not happening.
The resurgence in America today is causing
some people to grow complacent. That is a grave mistake.
Communist
Threat
After World War ii, attention in America shifted
away from the threat of Nazism and toward communism. Herbert W. Armstrong,
looking at the prophecies of the Bible, was warning that Germany would rise up
to dominate the world again. This is clearly prophesied (request our free
book The Holy Roman Empire in
Prophecy).
But he also recognized that a genuine threat was emerging from Russia that could
do considerable damage to the United States.
Mr. Armstrong explained how this warfare works: “It’s a kind of
warfare we don’t understand or know how to cope with. It uses every diabolical
means to weaken us from
within, sapping our strength, perverting our morals,
sabotaging our educational system, wrecking our social structure, destroying
our spiritual and religious life, weakening our industrial and economic power,
demoralizing our armed forces, and finally, after such infiltration,
overthrowing our government by force and violence!”
Think seriously about that statement. In a sense, this plan has
been coming to pass in America!
When Barack Obama was a boy, his grandfather introduced him to
Frank Marshall Davis, a card-carrying Communist Party member. Since young
Barack lacked a father at home, his grandfather thought Davis would be a good
role model. Davis was a rabid supporter of Joseph Stalin and his kind of
communism.
How strong a supporter was Davis of Stalin’s Soviet Union? Here
is an excerpt of a poem Davis wrote called “To the Red Army,” calling on the
Soviets to rise up and show the West the real power of communism: “Smash on victory-eating Red warriors!
Drive on, oh mighty people’s juggernaut! … Show the marveling multitudes,
Americans, British, all your allied brothers, How strong you are, How great you
are, How your young tree of new unity, Planted 25 years ago, Bears today the
golden fruit of victory!” Obama had a close relationship with
this radical Stalinist!
Barack Obama was also an admirer of Saul Alinsky, the
infamous Rules for
Radicals author. Yet a lot of Obama’s beliefs were unknown
before he was elected because the mainstream media didn’t vet him. The press
has a lot to answer for in the way they abetted this man and his ambitions!
Dr. John C. Drew, a political scientist who knew Obama at
Occidental College, recounted how his girlfriend introduced the 19-year-old
Barack to him as a fellow Communist in 1980. In a radio interview with Dr. Paul
Kengor on The Glen Meakem Show, Drew
said that back then Obama was predicting a violent people’s revolution in
America. But Drew explained to him that such revolutions are only successful in
Third World countries, so it would be better to try to transform America into a
Communist state one step at a time.
This is exactly what President Obama worked to do during his
eight years in office.
Mr. Armstrong warned in 1962, “[T]he ‘Communist Party’ is merely
a trick term
to pull the wool over our eyes and deceive us—a means of getting a fifth column
into our midst—of getting the enemy’s government into our very midst, leading
us to accept it as a part of our government. Its only object is to destroy our government.”
That is valuable insight! Communists mentored Barack Obama, and
today he is telling Democrats that they have to be more deceptive if they
really want to tear
down the system and remake it.
Listen to the Democrats today. There is a lot of revolutionary
talk. That party has been infiltrated and taken over by many of the ideas that
the Communists promoted decades ago—ideas that are transforming the nation! It
has become a political party far more destructive to America than the Communist
Party!
Attempted
Coup
A Czech Communist named Jan Kozák wrote a
1950s tract titled “And Not a Shot Is Fired” that explains how to hijack a
nation through parliamentary maneuvers. The strategy requires pressure for
radical change from two directions simultaneously: from the upper levels of
government and from provocateurs in the streets.
The Obama administration used a similar strategy to
fundamentally transform America. As president, Barack Obama appointed far-left
judges and “deep state” bureaucrats to some of the highest offices in the land.
At the same time, he supported radical firebrands from organizations like Black
Lives Matter. The goal is to create chaos in the streets, and then have
socialist leaders step in to “solve” the problem.
John Brennan was one of the most radical deep state bureaucrats
in the Obama administration. While still a student at Fordham University in
1976, Brennan voted for Communist Party usa presidential candidate
Gus Hall. Shockingly, Brennan was recruited into the Central Intelligence
Agency just four years later!
Brennan rose through the ranks of the cia until
he became acting director of the National Counterterrorism Center under
President George W. Bush. He retired in 2005, but then Obama asked him to
become his Homeland Security Adviser in 2009. Four years later, he was promoted
to cia director.
Why did President Obama want a Communist running the cia for
him? Well, shortly after Brennan took that job, his department began illegally
spying on the Senate Intelligence Committee. When he was caught, he lied
outright and absolutely denied it, but he was finally forced to admit it.
Then, during the 2016 presidential election, Brennan was
instrumental in drafting and publishing an Intelligence Community Assessment
suggesting illicit ties between Russia and the Trump campaign. This assessment
relied heavily on a 35-page dossier compiled by British former MI-6
intelligence agent Christopher Steele and paid for by Hillary Clinton’s
presidential campaign. The dossier accused Donald Trump of escapades with
Russian prostitutes, among other things. Not one bit of the dossier was verified,
yet U.S. law enforcement agencies used it to obtain approval to spy on Trump
campaign staff member Carter Page.
This opened the door for spying on everyone surrounding Donald
Trump. Conservative journalist Andrew McCarthy covers this history in his
book Ball of Collusion:
The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency. He explains
that the real collusion
in the 2016 election was not between the Trump campaign and Russia. It was
between the Clinton campaign and Obama’s deep state. Had Hillary Clinton been
elected, the destructive trends that unfolded during the Obama presidency would
have continued unchecked and surely would have intensified. Many people believe it
would have meant an end to our constitutional republic!
“The
main purpose of counterintelligence operations is to keep the president
informed,” McCarthy writes. That is basic truth. Yet these agents are
somehow convinced that their job is to overturn America’s last election and
destroy the president! They are focusing all their attention on hunting for crimes
so they can bring him down and overthrow the government! That is a counterintelligence
invasion—and it has unfolded right before our eyes.
And it all revolves
around former President Barack Obama! That must be our focus.
McCarthy writes that “no administration in American history was more
practiced in the dark arts of politicizing intelligence than President Obama’s.”
That is an insightful statement!
The National Security Administration touts itself as being “the
world leader in cryptology—the art and science of making and breaking codes.”
It uses this expertise, it says, to safeguard U.S. secrets and outmaneuver
enemies, “while at the same time protecting the privacy rights of the American
people” (nsa.gov). The truth is that this agency was doing the opposite of
protecting Americans’ privacy rights: It was spying on Americans, and
trying to invalidate the will of 63 million American voters!
Before about the meeting President
Obama held on Jan. 5, 2017—15 days before Mr. Trump’s inauguration—with
the nsa director,
the cia director
(Brennan), the fbi director
(James Comey), and the director of National Intelligence. “The officials in
this meeting would need to figure out how the investigation of Carter Page and
the Trump campaign could continue despite the fact that its central focus,
Trump, was about to be sworn in as president,” McCarthy writes. Their effort
had nothing to do with Page, who was never charged with a crime—it was all
meant to take down Trump.
Together with Brennan and a group of top spies,
Obama sought to overturn the results of the 2016 election, overthrow the Trump
administration, and establish something much more than a new socialist
government in the United States!
To truly understand how dangerous this was,
you have to go back before John Brennan’s intelligence assessment, before the
warrant to spy on Carter Page, and before the salacious dossier compiled by
Christopher Steele.
Communism is
Conquering Academia
“Marxism is dead everywhere
except American universities.” That was the wry joke some told after the Soviet
Union fell in 1991, at the end of a century in which 100 million people were
killed in the name of communism. But 29 years later, communism has spread from
the fringes of academia into mainstream education. Millions of former and
current college students now support radical candidates and radical demands for
America’s future.
In 2006, about 3 percent of
American professors said they were Marxists, according to a national survey
conducted by Neil Gross of Harvard University and Solon Simmons of George Mason
University. Within the social sciences—a field partially fathered by Karl
Marx—that number was 18 percent—nearly 1 in 5.
The number of professors who admit
to being more socialist than conservative has risen from 43 percent in 1970 to
around 60 percent today, according to the American Institute for Economic
Research. And the number of professors who admit to being “far left” has more
than doubled, rising from 5 percent to 12 percent. Beyond these, however, many
more professors follow the advice of leading socialist thinkers by masquerading
as moderates.
Whether professors admit it or
not, Marxist-Leninism is now the dominant model of history and society being
taught in American universities. Under labels like “post-colonialism,”
“anti-neoliberalism” and “social justice,” professors are teaching that the
American narrative about individual liberty and limited government is a mask
for the power of wealthy, white, European males. They tout alternative
histories like Howard Zinn’s Marxist-inspired textbook A People’s History of the United States. This
is why millennials are increasingly embracing socialism over capitalism.
How did communism become so strong
in American academia?
During the Cold War, a Soviet
Union spy named Yuri Bezmenov defected and escaped to Canada. He revealed that
the kgb spy
agency considered subverting nations so important that it allocated most of its resources to
the project. “Only about 15 percent of time, money and manpower is spent on
espionage as such,” he explained in an interview with G. Edward Griffin in
1985. “The other 85 percent is a slow process, which we call either ideological
subversion or ‘active measures.’”
This “ideological subversion,”
Bezmenov said, is a long process involving four stages: demoralization,
destabilization, crisis and normalization. The first stage, demoralization, is
now a familiar concept. Many who recognize America’s obvious demoralization in
the 20th century think it occurred accidentally, naturally or even fortunately.
But former kgb agents,
said Bezmenov, recognize it as an intentional attack designed to “change the
perception of reality of every American” and destroy the country.
“It takes about 15 to 20 years to
demoralize a nation,” Bezmenov wrote in his book, Love Letter to America. “Why
that many (or few)? Simple: This is the minimum number of years needed to
‘educate’ one generation of students in a target country (America, for example)
and expose them to the ideology of the subverter.”
Bezmenov warned—again, in
1985—that kgb agents
and their socialist sympathizers would use abstract art, perverted music,
pornographic images, homosexual activism, accusations of racism, pacifist
foreign policy and socialist economics to demoralize America. Whether you
believe him or not, does
this sound familiar?
The obvious objective of
socialists is to destroy America’s morals, traditions, institutions and laws,
and to conquer it with socialist ideology, policies and enforcement. It is now
obvious to many that socialists recognized the importance of American education
when many conservatives did not.
According to a former staff
director of a Senate investigations subcommittee, in the years between 1935 and
1953, the Communist Party “enlisted the support of at least 3,500
professors—many of them as dues-paying members, many others as fellow
travelers, some as out-and-out espionage agents, some as adherents of the party
line in varying degrees, and some as the unwitting dupes of subversion” (J. B.
Matthews, “Communism and the Colleges,” American
Mercury, May 1953).
The
Communist ideology introduced to America has spread throughout the university
system and is beginning to dominate high schools and even elementary schools.
This fact is more significant than you might realize. Bezmenov warned that the
end goal was to “change the perception of reality of every American to such an
extent that despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to
sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families,
their community and their country.” You could argue that this goal has been
reached.

The US socialist-communists have been slowly infiltrating our government, often funded by Soros & Bloomberg [especially in the area of anti-law n order District Attorney's] and anti-America, anti-second Amendment, etc.] & mainstream leftist media never seems bothered by the socialist bent our politicians have taken-utterly disgusting.
Just like Mao, Stalin-our socialists started brainwashing our young in schools decade or so ago-parent's have been asleep at the wheel [except home schooled kids]. The goal is to create a class of citizens unable to think for themselves & to boost dependency & victimhood.
Even w/ the progress those socialist slugs have made with America's young-they don't stand a chance in the next election; too many of us have fought this crap for generations to allow them to take over!
Given the so-called Democrat debate; I'm horrified as the BS they spew.
The Leftist media has helped brainwash so many morons [along w/ Marxist teachers] that it's truly frightening. When I see some surveys still less than 50% of approval for Trump I'm really mad/angry/frightened...WTF don't these idiots get? Trump has done more for this nation in his short time in office than all the years of Obama-if you have a 401k this is highly evident.
