Communist Coup d'Etat Attempt Is in Progress on Many Fronts

By Eddie Howell

The Communist Party is like the multi-headed hydra of myth. It appears in many guises and under many names – the party itself, their close allies the Democratic Socialists of America, their front groups, their donors, their labor unions (they control the AFL-CIO), their entertainment industry contacts, MSM people, people in academia, and many useful idiots. Since they have people at the levers of power, a relatively small number of people wield great influence in American society. Few Americans understand that we have a serious threat on our hands.

Then there's the Robert Mueller investigation, which has the leftists salivating and hoping for an outcome of impeachment or worse.

Besides the above-mentioned, we have the thugs of Antifa and Black lives Matter, and the communists running much of the states of California and Minnesota. In America, organized socialists and communists are basically the same thing, and include most “Progressive” and “Liberal” Democrat politicians. Right now they are working to bring down Donald Trump, and America, by creating chaos in America through street rioting, encouraging radical Muslim jihad, and numerous other efforts.

Having gotten a good start under communist President Barack Obama, whose administration still has its socialist fingerprints on much of our government, the “Resistance” is quite active, and has been fairly successful in recruiting ignorant young people into its fold. The following are a few facts about these problems:

  1. George Soros, a major donor to communist causes, recently allocated $18 billion of his fortune to his “charitable” foundations and political organizations, to use for such things as paying rioters and protesters and financing voter fraud, etc. (It's also a tax shelter.)
  2. The Hollywood elites continue to accuse Donald Trump and his supporters of being racists, bigots, etc. The Golden Globes Oprah-fest speeches were mostly about the sexual predators, but Robert De Niro managed to work in a profanity-laced tirade against the president.
  3. The Democratic Party is home to many communists and socialists among its politicians and bureaucrats, who cannot support our Constitution because socialism is unconstitutional, and they are therefore in violation of their oath of office, not to mention the fact that their loyalty to the United States is at best extremely questionable.
  4. The Communist Party USA, despite its denials, was controlled by and loyal to the Soviet Union, and heavily involved in Soviet espionage from the the 1930s through World War II (when the Soviets were our allies), and the Cold War. Communists in the U.S. government were influential enough to make sure that the communists took control of China after the war. They guided the details, although FDR and Eisenhower, unlike Churchill, were anxious to please Stalin because of Russia's participation in the war. American Soviet agent Alger Hiss was part of the American delegation to the Yalta Conference as an adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt.* Later, Hiss participated in the founding of the United Nations and was its first Secretary-General.
  5. Especially since the Obama Administration, most of the major news media has become the propaganda arm of the leftists, pretty much killing traditional American journalism. It's doubtful it can be brought back.
  6. And now, one of the fronts the communist-guided leftists are working on is raising questions about Donald Trump's mental health (which seems considerably better than their own), with psychiatrists unethically diagnosing trouble where they haven't examined the patient. Liberal law professor Alan Dershowitz, a principled man who isn't part of this charade, recognizes the seriousness of the problems this can cause and speaks eloquently against it on Fox News Channels “Fox and Friends” program:

The solution to this is not simple and certainly not easy, but it is possible, and, I believe, would include the following things, among others:

  1. Get the Justice Department to look into dealing with disloyal organizations and violent “protesters.”
  2. Promote a plan to get back, as much as we can, to the founding principles of America. We have strayed quite a lot from them and are paying the price for it. I think the best readable book I've seen that explains what these principles are, what they're based on, and how they have been used, is W. Cleon Skousen's excellent The Five Thousand Year Leap: Twenty-Eight Ideas That Are Changing the World.
  3. Educate people on our Constitution.
  4. Require background checks for federal legislators to serve on committees of Congress.
  5. Declare the Muslim Brotherhood and Antifa terrorist organizations.
  6. Pray for a strong spiritual awakening in America. The ultimate answer to our situation is to get our nation right with God. This does not mean we should be a theocracy. But the Founders knew that a successful republic requires a religious and virtuous people.
  7. Stop government promotion of social experimentation and gender confusion.
  8. Control the border and fix illegal immigration. Send “refugees” back home if possible.
  9. Firmly reinforce law and order. There should be no sharia law in the U.S. and there should not be any “no-go” zones. Violent demonstrators and rioters must be dealt with firmly. Give law enforcement adequate support and protection to do their jobs.
  10. Try to keep an optimistic and cheerful attitude, and don't lose your sense of humor. This isn't over yet!

The Sky Is Falling: Leftist Panic and Hysteria

By Eddie Howell

The anti-Trump left, reeling from Hillary Clinton's defeat, is angry that she was defeated by someone of approximately opposite political philosophy and quite politically incorrect. While decrying the Trump Administration as fascist, the left is happily employing fascist and communist tactics themselves in their struggle against Trump.

The elites are promoting hysterics among the leftist press, academia, and media in what is meant to look like a grass-roots movement, but is guided by paid mobs and rabble rousers who see opportunities to participate in the violence. There are probably some sincerely high-minded idealists who think their demonstrations are expressing justifiable outrage against a bad administration, but they don't realize they are being manipulated and used by unsavory foes of American tradition and liberty.


Tucker Carlson of Fox News tries to interview an angry “anti-fascist” who wants the president forced out. This is a good example of “Trump derangement syndrome.” No discussion was possible with her.

While this seems an obvious extreme and unreasonable expression of hostility against Trump by some leftist activist, it is not fundamentally different from what Democrat politicians are doing daily to try to undermine the Trump presidency, recent examples being their campaigns against General Flynn and Attorney-General Sessions.

The presidential election, an honored American tradition pitting hard-fighting campaigns against one another, worked just as it was supposed to. Donald Trump won, and no one seriously questions that the outcome was correct. Yet the leftists are stirring opposition to the idea that the election was legitimate. The fact that Trump did not win the popular vote does not, in fact, affect the propriety of the election. Trump's off-the-cuff style of campaigning is seen as an opening for every kind of unreasonable and irrational accusation and complaint. Yet there is no substance to the accusations of racism, bigotry, etc. The left's obsession with a supposed Russian conspiracy concerning the presidential election is a smokescreen excuse for more hysterical finger-pointing.

The globalists are particularly disturbed by Trump's theme of America First, and his declared anti-globalism. They fear that other countries' generous support from the U.S. in various ways is under threat, and to some extent it is. Trump opposes having so many arrangements with other countries that put America at an unfair disadvantage. Now some other countries think that the U.S., which freely helped former enemies after World War II, and greatly helped rebuild much of the world, must now support the plans of the globalists for their New World Order.

International trade deals and political developments have threatened American sovereignty and the liberty of our citizens. America should never be under the control of any other country or outside entity. The United Nations has become an organization in which America pays a large part of the cost of receiving criticism and anti-American propaganda from America-hating countries. Also, the UN seems to be the preferred vehicle for globalist rule, through Agenda 21 and various other efforts to control humanity at every level.

President Trump's view of things is vastly different from President Obama's. Obama, the “citizen-of-the-world” globalist, seems to have done a thorough job of indoctrinating the already left-leaning individuals and groups. He is praising their angry demonstrations. He is allegedly controlling their efforts. Of course, the liberal spokespersons say they don't “condone” the all-too-frequent and severe violence, but they don't really seem to have much of a problem with it. The supposed “responsible” leftists don't seem to mind paid mobs helping them push their agenda. They don't criticize black radicals for calling for policemen's deaths. They show no sympathy for families of murdered police officers. They don't mind that “sanctuary cities” have unnecessarily protected illegal alien murderers and other criminals. They favor open borders and they are OK with any number of people from anywhere coming into America. If they were watching Steve Bannon at C-PAC, they must have felt shivers up their spines when he mentioned “deconstructing the administrative state.”

Their “The Sky Is Falling” approach undermines America, and appears to be leading to eventual prosecutions for sedition if not treason. The political value to liberals of their extreme contrived anger, and crocodile tears over everything they read or hear about Trump is doubtful. Anger is politically about all they have. They do not have reasonable arguments that come through the noise. Anger is not really much of a political strategy. People eventually tire of it. Meanwhile, a lot of unnecessary damage is done, people are beaten or murdered, homes and businesses are destroyed, and everyone suffers, except the globalist elites.

The Democrats' true character is on display. They, and their media cronies, are not above lying, encouraging violence, and engaging in the politics of personal destruction, as well as increased name-calling and false accusations. This even includes criminal leaks of classified information. Obama's appointee holdovers must be viewed with suspicion and replaced, or simply fired, as soon as possible. These things also speak to the slimy political character of Obama. Some of the Democrats' activities are already over the line of criminality. Attorney-General Jeff Sessions will have, as a large part of his workload, trying to undo the damage inflicted on America by Barack Obama and this gang of radical leftists.

Not Ready for Prime News Coverage? Gosnell’s Drug and Death Center



Obama’s beloved policy, abortion on demand, is getting some (but amazingly little up to now) bad press in the wake of the trial of Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, which a substantial percentage of Americans haven’t even yet heard of. If Dr. Gosnell’s lawyer is to be believed, Gosnell operated only a typical neighborhood clinic, and if you walk into an abortion clinic, abortion being the messy business that it is, you should expect to see blood on the walls, urine, etc. on the floor, fetal remains in the fridge, bodies of babies killed by “snipping” their spinal cords, and jars of severed fetal body parts in jars, not to mention heavily drugged women, many bleeding, some possibly dying. Gosnell’s alleged practice of using dirty instruments from one woman to the next, without cleaning, then, would seem to be a typical abortion-clinic matter. Gosnell claims that the prosecutors are trying to hold his clinic to a Mayo Clinic standard, when it is merely a neighborhood clinic. Of course, that’s because the prosecutors are, in his view, elitist and racist.
Here's one report by a Fox News affiliate (with added comments by the uploader of the video):
 



 
The charges and history of Gosnell’s gruesome but profitable butcher shop was surveyed in Fox News Channel's documentary “See No Evil,” hosted by Bret Baier, which details accounts of murders of viable babies by severing of their spinal cords, babies which exhibited the normal signs of being born alive, according to former Gosnell staffers. Some of those Gosnell employees pleaded guilty to murder and other charges. Based on Fox’s presentation and the Grand Jury report, it would appear that everything connected with the Gosnell establishment was tainted by murder, illegal abortions, illegal drug trafficking, filth, and generally, a horror show of blood.

If the Grand Jury report is to be believed, Gosnell is the worst mass killer or serial killer in American history. But he claims he is not guilty of anything illegal, just maybe a mistake here and there. It appears that in later times, Gosnell specialized in illegal late-term abortions (anesthesia optional at extra cost), which allegedly sometimes ended up in the murder of viable babies after their birth, and sometimes infection and death of the mother due to ill treatment in unsanitary conditions by unqualified staff members.

Not as bad as the crimes Gosnell is charged with, but, I believe, highly offensive and worthy of serious attention, are (1) the fact that Pennsylvania state authorities completely failed to investigate the clinic for decades, apparently due to political reasons, despite numerous complaints and lots of word-of-mouth evidence, patient deaths, etc., and (2) the mainstream media’s ridiculous lack of coverage, which, Fox reports, a poll found that people believe is mainly due to media bias. But of course, we don’t have media bias, right? It’s beyond bias, to the point of willful manipulation. What we have is a lapdog media that instead of “speaking truth to power,” instead distorts, neglects, and hides the truth on behalf of the powerful. Any way you look at it, it’s disgraceful. Of the major national news media outlets, it looks like only Fox News was willing to give the story anything like the coverage it warranted (see video below).


   

Like it or not, this episode is a serious test of America’s character, and highlights the political manipulation of law enforcement and media reporting. And it is a condemning indictment of public apathy and acquiescence to the unconscionable reality of the money-hungry, decency-be-damned death culture of the abortion industry. Gosnell’s shop is simply one of the most horrifying examples.
