Read and weep

From one former Communist, Edith Bone, who knew, to those who doubt, read and weep so that history does not repeat itself here in America, that does we no embrace a socialistic, atheistic agenda led from the top by ‘enlightened’ leaders.

"Here, I felt, I had reached a turning-point.... now the wheel had come full circle - my revolt against inhumanity had bought me into the Communist Party, and the deeply rooted inhumanity that cried aloud from every page of that horrible book... destroyed the last traces of illusion, and lifted off my back the incubus I had carried for thirty bitters years full of doubt..." "So it had been a mistake to believe that the public ownership of the means of production would transform men, would make them more concerned for the public good, more cultured because more leisured, and, above all, happier." "The degeneracy of the Communist Party stood out all the more clearly. When I read a historical book, I noted with disgust the false rewriting of history. Thus, in a long book about Ivan the Terrible, he was made out to have been the most benign and amiable ruler;...""The constant barrage of lies presented as the only sterling truth, opposition to which was a sinister crime against humanity, meant that all standards were falsified, twisted out of shape."

A Russian poet reinforces the sentiments of E.B. by succinctly noting that the "only ones who smiled (during Stalin’s reign of terror in the 1930's) were the dead, glad to be at rest."

Is there any connection between the above horror and our present political situation? You betcha! Ignorance! The American public is shielded from the truth about anything that does not promote the liberal, socialist cause and future presidency of Barack Obama. Lies and misdirections mask the truths about who is behind the present recession, about the banking and housing crises, about these ‘tough economic times.’ Lies and misrepresentations abound; facts are dear. Contradiction and hypocrisy common; ignorance the sad result. Government bailouts and subsidies, even outright takeovers of the banking industry, the mortgage industry and , soon, the auto industry, are motived by liberal, socialistic ideologies. The truth behind the causes of these economic meltdowns remains hidden to the American public but is well appreciated by the wealthy politicians, CEO’s and patrons who benefited from the breakdown of these relevant systems. Millions milked will never be lost by them.

Sub-prime loans as far back as President Carter’s presidency, were ‘mandated’ under ‘pressure’
from the government. CAFÉ standards for cars were ‘mandated’ under pressure again from government. Unsustainable salary, medical and pension benefits were ‘mandated’ under ‘pressure’ from the unions of the Big 3 auto companies. The common denominator of all failures, if truth could be told, is prevention of the free market system to exercise its built-in principle of the freedom to fail, to pick up the pieces and to move on. Any ethical person knows the rules of life’s game where fairness is accidental as well as ornamental. Common sense, hard work and responsible behavior guarantee any player the possibility to hope for change, to achieve personal success.
