U.S. Must Stop Marxism, Reject Democrat Candidates

By Eddie Howell

Democrat politicians want unrestricted abortion, a disarmed population, racial strife, high taxes, gender confusion, and restrictions on speech. They want socialism-communism. They are working for open borders and against our national sovereignty. They are working toward a world communist government. The climate change hoax/fraud is a device to move our country toward socialism, and scare people into accepting increased government power, high taxes, and loss of freedom. The Democratic Party is a Marxist hotbed of corruption and anti-Americanism.

There are plenty of communists and socialists in our federal, state, and local governments, and if the leftists win power, communists will control our government. Trevor Loudon has done and continues, to do extensive research on the topic of leftists in government in the U.S. According to Loudon:
The problem is that for more than 50 years U.S. radicals, many of them allied to hostile foreign powers, have been systematically infiltrating sympathizers and "useful idiots" into the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. There are now large voting blocs in both houses, who, whether they are conscious of it or not, are effectively an enemy "Fifth Column" in the heart of the U.S. Government.
... Until this problem is confronted and dealt with, the very survival of the West is gravely endangered. [1]
The historical record is clear: Marxism has produced the murders of over 100 million people by their own governments in the 20th century. Socialist countries today are continuing barbaric practices, including murdering of citizens for protesting or for political purposes. This is happening in China and Venezuela as well as other places. Socialist-communist countries are tyrannical and fear-driven.

Among Millennials, many of whom have received indoctrination in dumbed-down college curricula taught by dumbed-down instructors, there is a tragic lack of historical knowledge about what socialism and communism have produced.  According to research by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, the following were among their recent findings:

   * Although forty million people died because of Mao Zedong, forty percent of Millennials have never heard of him.
   * One-fifth of Millennials do not know that Joseph Stalin killed more than 30 million people.
   * One-third of Millennials believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Joseph Stalin.

In China, there is relentless persecution of Christians, Falun Gong practitioners, Muslims, and various ethnic groups, even to the point of involuntary killing to harvest human organs for sale.
Sen. Bernie Sanders

In Cuba, among other repressive measures, "desirable" tourist areas and beaches are walled off from the common people and racism is rampant.

In North Korea, people are repressed, often to the point of starvation, and political killings are common.

In Venezuela, Marxism has led to a failed state. What was once the richest nation in South America is now a hell-hole of squalor.

In California, Marxists are steadily destroying their beautiful and attractive state, with unhealthy, filthy conditions prevailing in major cities, high taxes, seemingly endless debt, and preferential treatment of illegal immigrants over citizens, even protecting criminals through "sanctuary" policies.

American socialist and communist organizations work closely together and with many Democrat politicians. In our country, organized socialism and communism are essentially the same, functioning virtually as one. [2]

All Marxists have the goal of overthrowing capitalism and establishing a socialist-communist society with an all-powerful government and no rights for its citizens. The main incentive for people under this type of regime would be to make one's situation better by gaining more power over others.

There is no rational economic theory underlying Marxism, and a planned economy doesn't work because the planners do not know how to plan. It's arbitrary and based on nothing, unlike a self-regulating free-market economy, which has done more than any other type to bring prosperity to millions of people.

Former Vice President
Joe Biden
Marxist leaders have no interest in material prosperity other than their own. If they gained power in America, they would likely soon have a plan to forcibly and violently stop capitalism and seize control of industries, whether or not officially taking title to them immediately.

Violence would continue in order to crush dissent and to get rid of the regime's enemies, real or imagined. Marxism has been shown to be a violent, murderous, and lawless system in which the most clever criminals are soon in charge, representing the elite cabal. This would be the New World Order.

Since most people would soon desire to have back their lost freedoms, the authorities would crush any effective dissent by means of the secret police, who would have the authority to execute dissidents on the spot or send them to prison. If they were well known, there would likely be a show trial, with forced confession, followed by execution.

Members of the hated middle class, and others not in power, who expressed ideas concerning their rights, would be harshly suppressed and punished. There soon would be no middle class as such, only mid-level enforcers of the rulers' wishes.

Current American socialist and communist leaders are Stalinist-Leninists or Maoists. Lenin said, "The goal of socialism is communism." Their ultimate goals are to establish a worldwide communist government, and finally destroy the human race.

"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever." -- George Orwell, 1984.

In past decades, there could be reasonable differences of opinion between the political parties on political issues. Today, a vote for a Democrat is a vote for communism.

Easy Choice: Trump, Not Hillary


Donald Trump
The Donald Trump phenomenon has been useful in bringing to the debate some important issues, issues that have been suppressed in the name of globalism and the New World Order by the elitists. Now that Trump is the GOP's presumptive nominee, having accumulated record numbers of votes, the voices of the candidate and his supporters are being heard. This suggests that many Americans are tired of having their concerns ignored and disagreeable and evil policies thrust upon them by their supposed betters. (Disclosure: I was a Ted Cruz supporter until he dropped out of the race, so I'm a bit late to the Trump train. I like Cruz's outsider perspective and conservatism.)

But Donald Trump is the vote-getter, with an admittedly populist message that deviates from Cruz's conservatism. The GOP can ill afford to ignore the voting results. The voters' concerns ought to be those of the great majority of the GOP constituency, for these concerns have been ignored too long. For Republicans of the #NeverTrump movement, I say this: If you prevail, the US could very well be done in by the Obama-Clinton monstrosity you would allow into office. A third-party run could do that.

Hillary Clinton
There are many reasons for Trump's appeal, among which is that Trump would be a far, far superior president to Hillary Clinton. She represents the continuation of Obama's socialist/fascist attitude that is destroying freedom day by day. She represents those who want “free stuff” with as little individual effort and responsibility as possible. She represents those who want to force upon our nation every kind of sexual immorality and perversion they can. She represents those who want to embrace the Muslim invasion, the illegal immigration, and the anti-Christian attitude. She represents those who literally want to take away all guns from citizens, and has said as much. She represents those who want to anoint climate change as the number one priority when in fact it is an evil hoax designed to empower government and impoverish the citizens. She represents the anti-life agenda of Planned Parenthood and Obamacare. She would pack the Supreme Court with “progressive” (read: socialist) activists who would dismantle the Bill of Rights in the name of “social justice” and judicial supremacy.

Trump has indicated that he would appoint conservative justices to the Court, starting with someone to replace the late, great Justice Antonin Scalia. Hard shoes to fill, but it must not be with an activist liberal.

Trade, one of Trump's core issues, is an area where he will need conservative advice. Tariffs will not help the economy, nor will they bring jobs back. The way to do that is, as much as possible, get government out of the way, promote real free trade, and get out of those awful entangling globalist agreements. Trump wants us out of WTO, NAFTA, TPP, etc., and that's good. If he wants “fair trade,” establish real free trade with the government stepping in only to prevent trade abuses such as dumping below-cost products in America to gain a market foothold.

I think Trump will build the wall he has proposed, and it will be a bargain whether Mexico pays for it or not. Gaining control of our borders is essential to immigration reform and national security. It is not at all unreasonable to place a moratorium on all further immigration pending the repair of our system, and it seems imperative that we prevent the proposed thousands of “refugees” from entering our country. A temporary ban on all Muslim entry into the US is not out of the question. As for the deportation issue, Trump's proposal to deport all illegals certainly is feasible, and makes more sense than Obama's policy of releasing convicted criminal illegals into the population to kill, steal, rape, drive drunk, etc. even further. And the Border Patrol needs to be allowed to do their job. Hillary Clinton, of course, would do none of this. Nor does she have the first clue about how to grow the economy or create jobs. She could only, like Obama, grow government and create more regulations and taxes.

Foreign policy is an area where Mr. Trump would need good advice and help. America First is a good starting point. Based on his foreign policy speech, he seems to be mostly on the right track. He knows it is very important that we rebuild our military, since Obama has been determined to gut it. I believe he would treat our allies better and deal with our adversaries far better than Obama and Clinton have done. Together, they have created the biggest mess in the Middle East in years, with prospects for improvement steadily diminishing. Syria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, and ISIS show their abject failures. Trading high-value terrorist prisoners for an accused Army deserter, and lying to the families of the Americans killed in Benghazi, are two of the most egregious scandals on the Obama-Clinton record. It wouldn't take the world's greatest statesman to do better than this. Trump did not build his business success without getting advice and help from good people along the way. His stress on competence is good, but he also needs some encouragement in downsizing government. I would be optimistic about a Trump Administration, and near despair if it's Clinton or Sanders.

I believe that for Republican leaders and officials who still believe Trump must be stopped at all costs, your days of inflluence in the GOP are likely numbered, just as the anti-Goldwater people seemed to fade from the party after 1964, even though Goldwater lost big. The GOP leaders whose main contribution in recent years has been to fund Obama's agenda and refuse to stand up to him, need to see the light and either change their ways or be shown the door. While Trump certainly would like to unite the party and smooth things over a bit, a Trump Administration will be a rebuke to government incompetence and malfeasance on the part of either party. Hopefully, Trump will see the truth of Reagan's 1981 statement, “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.” Much can be accomplished simply by getting government out of the way and focused on its legitimate functions, which do not include controlling absolutely everything Americans do.

Trump represents the triumph of American nationalism over globalism and the assertion of an “America First” economic and trade policy. Sounds good to me. Even if Trump is a less-than-perfect president (they all are), we can be put on a better track than what we're on now, and begin to see something positive out of government instead of pure negativity. I will be happy to vote for Trump and pray that he wins.

Barack Obama: Traitor, Liar, Murderer, etc.

By Eddie Howell

 Andrew McCarthy discusses Obama's lawlessness and the seriousness of the danger of the Iran deal.


My comments:
The Iran nuclear deal negotiated (if you can call it that) by the Obama Administration is about the worst kind of international agreement ever made for our country. In short, the Iranian mullahs got everything they wanted and we got nothing. No real inspections, no assurances, nothing. All we got was Iranian officials saying “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” Obama pretends this is not harmful. The claim that the deal will prevent war is ridiculous on its face.

This is an agreement that gives aid and comfort to our sworn enemy, and is therefore an act of treason by Mr. Obama. Not only will Iran be able to proceed with their nuclear weapons development and conventional arms build up virtually unhindered (supposedly with the agreement of our “allies”), but Iran will also be generously provided with about $150 billion in released funds, which they can and will use to ramp up terrorist operations in areas where they are already very active, as well as new places. They will acquire long-range missiles capable of reaching the U.S. They already have missiles that can reach Israel. Ignoring their death threats is such an obviously ill-advised choice as to seem deliberately placing America and Israel in terrible danger.

It can hardly be otherwise than that Obama and his minions know that they have seriously harmed the national security interests of America and Israel. Apparently these interests are far different from their own. If this is not the case, then we have the most careless, inept, and stupid foreign policy negotiators in history.

Obama has often shown his disdain for America as we have known her. His “fundamental transformation” is an attempt to destroy the foundations of our nation and create a socialist society that soon ends up as a third world dictatorship. There must be resistance by states, citizens, and elected representative at all levels to the lawlessness and betrayal we are witnessing. Only Republicans, for all their weaknesses, timidity, and political laziness, represent any kind of political hope to halt this destruction. Hillary, like Obama, is an Alynskyite (only more dedicated) and Bernie Sanders not only wouldn't help, but would soon bring America to absolute bankruptcy through endless spending.

This kind of betrayal is in line with Obama's demonstrated character. He has no problem with the murders of babies in the womb. He promotes and champions abortion as do almost all Democrat politicians. He lies about practically every important issue that gets his attention. There is not enough space for this article to list all or even most of the ways Obama's policies and actions have done a grave disservice to the United States of America. From things as petty as punishing the Washington Redskins organization for their nickname, to encouraging the killing of thousands of birds with windmills, to the multi-billion-dollar boondoggle of Obamacare, to turning against Israel, and placing their and our lives in danger through deliberately America-weakening foreign policy and massively cutting the military, the Obama presidency is already disastrous, with the threat of much more destruction to come.

There must and will be resistance. We must pray that it will be enough.
