It's a Pinko by any other name

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck,
looks like a duck - It's a rose by any other name

All right already. I won't call Obama a Marxist in this column. Instead, I'll point to some signs that indicate that Barack and Karl might well be soul mates. At least, they have similar attitudes about capital, labor and profits, er, surplus value.

Liberals, even those of the Marxist variety, take umbrage when you point out their ideological kinship with Marxism.

I suppose this dates back to the days when being a communist was tantamount to being an enemy of the United States, in that there was a global communist movement intent on – and coming darn close to – world domination. Though global communism has been defeated, there remains a strong contingent among us, whose nerve center is the Democratic Party leadership under President Obama, committed to obliterating America's free market.

Without getting into the intricacies of Marxist theory, suffice it to say that at the core of this political and economic philosophy is a belief in the historical class struggle. The capitalist (bourgeois) exploits the industrial worker (proletarian) by underpaying him and adding on unnecessary charges to the prices of goods and services, driving up costs to the consumer, and pocketing the profits.

Are we witnessing the return of Karl Marx, or at least his anti-capitalist ideology? Compare today's developments with Marx's classic, "Das Kapital"

In "Basic Economics," Thomas Sowell puts it this way: "Profits may be the most misconceived subject in economics. Socialists have long regarded profits as simply 'overcharge,' as Fabian socialist George Bernard Shaw called it, or a 'surplus value' as Karl Marx called it." The theory is that under socialism or Marxism, these surplus charges would be eliminated and goods and services would become more affordable.

Under a rock?: NO place to hide

Posted by Diocuore on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 7:42:50 AM

 


''George Orwell’s “1984” projects were completely illegal under our Constitution but by 1984, our Constitution had already been noticeably under attack since the early part of the 20th century. The abuses accelerated under President Franklin D. Roosevelt and a recent article in the Soviet Union’s newspaper, Pravda dated April 27, 2009 said the frosting on the cake came with the election of Barack Obama who mesmerized the voters into voting for him. Devvy Kidd in her great article explains how he pulled it off.''


Private investigators used to go through garbage looking for evidence and the blimp in the sky with a camera over sports events used to be a novelty but today our national and international infrastructure is a better surveillance mechanism than Orwell in his book 1984 could have ever dreamed and it seems unstoppable. Some can be used for good but most will be used for evil.
With all our new technology, leaders are finding it difficult to censor the protestors defying the recent election in Iran. The young people are using all technology available to get the word out. While they want bilingual education in our American public schools, it is interesting to note the protest signs are in English in Iran.
During the 1980s radicals were promoting the Sanctuary Movement and liberal congregations were proclaiming themselves to be “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants. But in early 2009 pastors across the country were being called on by the Department of Homeland Security to join “Clergy Response Teams” in order to placate and control the people of America in the event of local or national emergencies.
But it wasn’t the illegals they were worried about. A few months later as government officials were hearing about the planned Tea Party gatherings on April 15, 2009, that same Department issued a warning that they are watching large numbers of right-wing protestors. The American Gestapo (Homeland Security) wanted all of these Americans to know they were suspects and were being watched closely! The Assessment published as an Unclassified/For Official Use Only document by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security fears the current economic climate and because of the historical presidential election that put an African American in the White House may fuel resurgence in radicalization and recruitment. Selwyn Duke in his article about who are the most violent states it perfectly “Which Side Really Inspires Violence, the right or the left?”

Why do intellectuals hate capitalism?

Posted by Diocuore on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 8:05:29 AM
Because...
 
Part of the element psychology of envy says:

Everybody's self-reliance and moral equilibrium are undermined by the spectacle of those who have given proof of greater abilities and capacities. Everybody is aware of his own defeat and insufficiency.
 
Unable to face the fact that money will never come easy to them, they want the wealth spread to cover their short comings and short falls. Get it kids?

Marxism in our schools, Commie's in D.C.

Posted by Diocuore on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 4:28:58 PM

 

The church: An accomplice to Marxism in our schools

It is impossible to separate the current state of our culture and government from the spiritual and intellectual foundations upon which both are based. For conservative leaders and activists who have been sounding the warning for decades about the approaching tyranny of global Marxism/socialism, our national condition is appalling but not surprising.

The symptoms of how far we have been led down this road are many; however, it is critical that we take some responsibility for producing a nation of illiterates. As many have pointed out, the crucial first institutional steps to preparing a nation for either its destruction or servitude are weakening the churches and the schools.

Most Americans, including evangelical Christians, have turned the education of our children over to the government via schools shaped by secular humanists Horace Mann and John Dewey. Prior to the 1840s after Mann had become secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, children in this country truly received a "world class education." As Dr. Marshall Foster of the Mayflower Institute relates in his profound book, "The American Covenant":

At the time of the Declaration of Independence the quality of education had enabled the colonies to achieve a degree of literacy from 70 percent to literally 100 percent. This was not education restricted to the few. Modern scholarship reports "the prevalence of schooling and its accessibility to all segments of the population."

"From Crayons to Condoms" lays out myriad reasons America's government schools have failed our children

He also relates how Mann, who is an icon to the educational establishment, and later John Dewey, who was also a signer of the Humanist Manifesto I, aggressively promoted an agenda that included:

  1. Forced taxation for state schools and compulsory attendance that removed the funding, control and children from the parents;

  2. De-emphasizing and removing biblical principles in education and character development, replacing it with humanistic philosophy;

  3. Standardized teacher training, textbooks and accreditation away from traditional philosophies as established by leaders like Noah Webster.

China is talking about Miguel Diocuore as we speak

Posted by Diocuore on Sunday, June 14, 2009 6:53:27 AM

Who watched while we let  the country go

The new-world future draws near, and it is going to be a squeeze - a real queeze. We feel it now, and it is noose-like from every direction. For the ones who can see the patterns and understand the "community stakeholder" bureaucracies that have been raised to crush and steal, we understand the powers behind the noose.


Have you read the 10 planks of Communism lately? How about the 45 current Communist Goals? Have you wondered about the cast of characters occupying the stage of Washington, D.C., and specifically whose agenda is pouring over the former 50 united States of former America and their 50 former sovereign state constitutions? I laugh as I write because no one . . . not even the die-hard Democrats or Republicans . . . can lie snug in their demagoguery, their moral superiority, their religious politics, their lies, or their think tanked computer model reports and believe even themselves anymore. D.C. is more than the Columbian District, ladies and gentlemen. D.C. is everywhere, and your individual states are, let us say, satellite franchises of the United Soviet of America.

Are you still watching your sit-coms and reality shows? Did your idols win, and is your cable TV still operational even though you have no job and cannot afford to drive, license, or insure your automobile? How are you living on your part-time/no benefit incomes? Well, as long as you have cable TV and Internet, life is perfectly entertained . . . though you may have lost your home . . . as well.Since we let the country go, and since we let "others" walk off with every single one of our legal rights and our private property and our privacy and our legitimate votes and our educations and our health and medical care and our quality food supply and our manufacturing base and our jobs and our banks and our automobile industry and our insurance industry and our opinions, etc., etc., SINCE WE LET THE COUNTRY GO, what shall we talk about? Shall we talk about Obama? Marx and Engels? Your equitable Community? How about Joe Stalin? Actually, we should be taking Chinese language classes because we need to be talking about China . . . quickly . . . because it is guaranteed that China is talking about us as we speak. However, our TV sets interfere as they have for six decades. Trust me . . . China speaks to and about us as we speak . . .

Obama’s Communist Cover-up Continues

Posted by Diocuore on Monday, August 18, 2008 9:50:41 AM

In a surprising admission that could become a major scandal in the presidential race, Barack Obama’s 40-page so-called “rebuttal” to Jerome Corsi’s book, The Obama Nation, acknowledges for the first time that the senator once had a personal relationship with identified Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Frank Marshall Davis, a key high-level operative in a Soviet-sponsored network in Hawaii........
