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.

Alien Invasion

By Eddie Howell

The US is experiencing a political alien invasion these days. In some ways, it resembles "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," because people in positions of responsibility, i.e. leftist Democrats, specifically most of the presidential candidates, appear to have been taken over by alien forces that cause them to lie incessantly and express hatred tirelessly for not only President Trump but also for his supporters, America, and white people in general.

They want others to join them in their hostility, just as the body snatchers tried to talk people into voluntarily becoming one of them.

Their behavior could just as well be ascribed to demon possession or at least demon influence. It seems supernaturally coordinated for the destruction of our country.

Their proposals represent ideas alien to America tradition and our Founding. Indeed Americans have fought, suffered, and died in wars hot and cold to try to rid our planet of murderous dictators pushing these same communist and fascist ideas.

Leftists stir up trouble using straw man issues, racial division, and many false accusations such as "Russian collusion," "white supremacy," and the worn-out tag "racist.' Most ordinary Americans find this very tiresome, but some younger people, after years of socialist indoctrination in schools, have bought into the very destructive identity politics and postmodernism.

It is time that Americans realized that leftist politicians are truly alien to America. They are domestic enemies whose loyalty is to their warped goals of socialism-communism, and they are currently the greatest threat to our country.

They care nothing for national prosperity or even sovereignty but are devoted to destroying America.

They care about the following things:

Abortion up to and beyond the point of birth -- this is a strong indicator of their ultimate disdain for human life;

Disarming the citizenry, so that only the "authorities" will have guns, thus leaving the people defenseless;

Government control over every aspect of citizens' lives;

Higher taxes and more regulations, which would ensure a deep recession and possible depression;

Buying votes by promising "free stuff" such as health care, college, student debt reduction, etc.;

Promoting the evil, lying fraud and hoax of "climate change' propaganda with the Green New Deal, which would wreak death and destruction on our country, while not affecting climate, all at great monetary and human cost;

Open borders, preferential treatment for people who are in our country illegally (potential Democrat voters), and opposing the border wall which would reduce drug and human trafficking;

Allowing filthy conditions in our cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Baltimore, and other Democrat-run metropolises;

Calling out as "racist' or "Nazi" any kind of criticism of themselves or their ideas;

Tolerating violence by Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and harassment of public officials and others at their homes and in public -- and doxxing private citizens whom they don't like;

Et cetera.

I don't think there are more than a very few actual liberals among Democratic Party politicians today. There are plenty who are far-left, corrupt, anti-American, and ultimately anti-human. They must be defeated. May God help President Trump and other patriots in their efforts to protect America.

Do Leftists “Mean Well”? Charlie Kirk Says No

In his 2019 CPAC speech, Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA emphasized that we should no longer believe that conservatives and leftists are “trying to get to the same place,” although using different methods. This, to me, was one of the most significant speeches of the event.

The Democratic Party has moved so far to the left, that it can hardly be called “liberal” any more, but is now dominated by socialists. Even their political candidates, when they try to appear moderate, cannot be trusted to refrain from promoting socialist-communist policies. The motives of the leftists must be questioned. How can people who hate America be said to “mean well”? Their goals are far different from those of non-leftists.

The left is intentionally misleading our country. Their leaders are working to lead America off the cliff, to bring down President Trump, the Constitution, the United States, and Western Civilization.

Although Mr. Kirk didn't suggest this, I am convinced that it's time to outlaw violent and disloyal organizations. Note that virtually all socialist and communist organizations are enthusiastic supporters of the Democratic Party, and many Democrats are beholden to Communists for political advice and campaign support. These people are domestic enemies of the United States. 

America vs. the Marxist Left

By Eddie Howell

In the following brief video, Professor Jordan Peterson outlines the relationship of Marxism to Postmodernism and explains why the argument is false that what the Russian Revolution produced was not “true Marxism,” which would have brought about the desired utopia without all the bloodshed.



His explanation is so obviously correct that it's difficult to see how anyone can maintain the contrary. Marxism's historical track record amply demonstrates that it is the road to mass murder and dire poverty for the “masses” that are supposed to benefit from it. To prevent our country from being under socialism is a cause worth fighting for, to the death if necessary.

Socialist leaders have no moral objection to anything that would help bring about their desired form of collectivist government. It would be a murderous and lawless disaster. The main incentive it provides is not national prosperity or peace or virtue, but the possible opportunity to control others. A collectivist economy cannot produce anything above bare subsistence or starvation for most of the people. It would produce a fear-driven society. The “free” things offered would ultimately be worthless or nearly so. Security is a condition that many would never experience. Truth from any official source would seldom if ever be heard.

Yet that is what the “democratic socialists” in America are working to bring about. The absurdly unhinged rhetoric and behavior of the rabid anti-Trump left, including violent acts and threats of violence, should be sufficient warning that the leaders of this movement would be willing to seize power by committing atrocities if they thought it necessary.

There is no likelihood of reasoning with these people. They must be defeated. They are led by radicalized anti-American, anti-liberty, and anti-white fanatics. This characterizes much of the Democratic Party leadership today. They are not merely political opponents of non-leftists, but, rather, domestic enemies of the United States.

In America, organized socialism equals communism.

It is time that the American people understood this fact. The principal leftist practitioners of it agree. As Far Left Watch, an anti-socialist website, points out, the tactics and goals of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest socialist organization in the U.S., are the same as those of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), with whom they work very closely with Democrat politicians, as documented by Trevor Loudon.* This is nothing new. What's new is their willingness to openly and plainly tell us what and who they are.

Far Left Watch notes that when one of DSA's leaders tweeted that “communism is a good thing,” several other DSA leaders of various chapters joined in praising communism.

This far-left political organization previously made headlines when leadership from their Iowa State campus chapter encouraged people to shoot President Trump and when leadership from their University of Georgia Chapter called for the execution of house GOP members. Now multiple DSA leaders are publicly endorsing communism, an ideology responsible for the oppression, incarceration, and murder of tens of millions of people.

To slow or stop this push toward socialism will require strong citizen opposition and a better understanding of what we're up against. It is not simply mass hysteria but planned and coordinated action to undermine and bring down America as a sovereign and free nation. Fortunately, the socialists are not as numerous or powerful as they pretend to be.

If Civil War Happens, for Leftists, It’s the Communist Revolution, But They Won’t Win

By Eddie Howell

Charlie Hurt of The Washington Times, appearing on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight program, stated that the new crop of Democrat candidates, such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are Communists. This is a term we haven’t heard used very often on Fox News or anywhere else, apart from Trevor Loudon, Cliff Kincaid, and some other right-leaning sources, but it’s a term that’s quite accurate when describing leftist Democrats, from Barack Obama to the socialist candidates running in the Democratic primaries.

In fact, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), some of whose members harassed DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in a restaurant, is extremely close to Democrats in Congress as well as the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). They’re virtually the same, and that can be accurately said of just about any socialist organization in America. Books by Trevor Loudon and others extensively and undeniably document these connections.*

With incendiary rhetoric, Socialist-communist Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has encouraged people to harass Trump Administration members in public places, and this has led to apprehension over possible violent clashes that might take place as a result. Harassment in public at the homes of people with whom one disagrees politically? The possibilities are frightening.

Austin Red Guards

Socialists in America use the term “Democratic” to mean what it means in countries like the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (i.e., North Korea). It’s not really Democratic there nor in Bernie Sanders’ socialism. It is essentially communism, and many Democrat politicians are somewhat openly associated with communism, whose principles and goals have not changed since the Cold War, nor are communists more loyal to the U. S. now than they were then. These days, communists have the advantage of having no government agencies publicly going after them as such, and they know they can rely on protection under First Amendment free speech rights, especially as understood by liberal judges.

For the information of those who perhaps haven’t noticed, the Democratic Party today is further to the left than ever and is essentially in the grip of communism. Communists are always looking to a future of violent seizure of government, and the overthrow of capitalism. They still view the Russian Revolution of 1917 and Marxism-Leninism as positive things. These organizations also include Maoist groups who are pro-China. If they and their ignorant followers were to gain power, they would not hesitate to do however much violence their leaders wanted, having seized power by committing atrocities. This would follow the pattern of the Russian Revolution and also the French Revolution: Mob action leading to maximum violence during and afterward. These people would not hesitate to murder American citizens in order to advance their agenda if they believed they could get away with it. Communist true believers believe they would be entirely justified by whatever means might seem necessary to achieve their ends.

Communists today are no less subversive than they ever were, but they have influence over several sectors of our society, and currently enjoy those protections: liberal academia, mainstream media, labor union leadership, etc. So, we have Antifa, Black Lives Matter, etc., in (temporary, it would seem) alliance with radical Islam, such as the Muslim Brotherhood (CAIR, Hamas, etc.) and now they are openly anti-white racists.

Opposed to this, we have “normal” Americans, who value American liberty and sovereignty, and are not willing to sign our nation over to foreign-controlled or subversive interests. They also value stability, law and order, and peace and quiet, and aren’t overly sympathetic to phony victimhood, or the snowflake mentality. They still respect independent action and rugged individualism, as well as traditional femininity and masculinity as gender appropriate. They (mostly) know that there are not more than two genders and that climate change is a leftist hoax and fraud.

Also, many must wonder if civility can ever be restored. Is compromise possible? It has been in the past and has contributed to American success and prosperity. But how do you compromise with people who not only hate you but are trying to stir up hate among different groups, depending on group identity? Make no mistake, the communist elite hate the productive middle class and ordinary Americans. They do not respect their rights nor the Constitution.

Leftists will not succeed if indeed it does come to civil war because such rebellion can and will be put down with overwhelming force. First, because “normal” Americans won’t put up with it. Second, because the typical conservative or non-leftist household is well armed and trained in firearm use, and third, because this is America and not Europe. The strength of the socialist-communist movement is far less than the media would have us believe.

Note to young socialists who think the country would be better under socialism: Where has actual socialism ever worked? Nowhere. If socialists took over America, you, the millennials, would be among the most sorely disappointed, and there would be no recourse available for you. Remember, under socialism, the most clever deceivers and criminals would soon be in charge. The promised benefits are never delivered. The people are enslaved. The violence never ends. Nor does the widespread poverty. Study Soviet Stalinist communism, Mao’s Chinese communism, Hitler’s National Socialism (Nazism), and George Orwell’s novel 1984 for an idea of how things would go. Remember that socialism has brought about the murders of over 100 million people by their own governments since the beginning of the 20^th century.

Destroying Western Civilization for Leftist Control

By Eddie Howell

The following short videos are of Professor Alexandre Del Valle’s interview with the French news organization Damoclès. He explains that that the radical left wants to destroy the nation-state and the West, and are using NGOs funded by George Soros and other billionaires, along with criminal organizations, to help accomplish this.

Day by day, we’re seeing more signs that the radical-left-controlled U. S. Democratic Party and the globalist elites of the EU and elsewhere are stepping up their efforts to bring down Western, historically Christian, civilization and nations. The “refugee” crisis engulfing Europe, and the related Islamic jihadist movement have been largely manufactured by leftist globalist elites who want to cement their places in power by replacing the current populations with “immigrants” who will eventually receive full citizenship and voting rights, and, of course, vote for the politicians that encouraged their invasion. This they hope to accomplish even at the cost of the national identity of the European countries, and eventually even their nationhood.

This is also what the left wants to do in America. Their hatred of Donald Trump and his supporters has been stirred up because he represents an obstacle to their plans. Had Hillary Clinton been elected president, she would have facilitated their program as she promised, and soon it would have been arranged that there would be a one-party political system in America, going all in for global socialism. The well-known Clinton and leftist corruption would have been hushed up so much that anyone calling attention to it in an effective way would have to be silenced and discredited.

American sovereignty and freedom are on the line, as is Western civilization itself. The left would like to suppress Christianity and substitute socialism-communism.

Americans and Europeans should realize that socialism and communism are essentially the same thing, and lead inevitably to totalitarian dictatorship and murders of many citizens. There is no chance that “next time” socialism-communism will be set up with better people and a better system than, say, the Stalinist Soviet Union, because socialism-communism is inherently lawless and criminal, and incentivized so that the most cleverly ruthless people are soon in charge, and getting rid of anyone who shows effective opposition, and finally, also getting rid of anyone who fits the leaders’ baseless paranoid fears.

The entire popular appeal of this system is based on class envy and stirred-up anger that encourages atrocities as means to gain power. Rulers like Stalin, Mao, or Hitler are simply the natural results of such a lawless system which finally boils down to the law of the jungle and, in effect, the end of any decent civilization, let alone economic prosperity for any but the top echelons. The promised equality never happens.

The keys to an actual successful (although not perfect) society include individual liberty, free markets, and real justice. These things require, as John Adams said, a virtuous people who possess a love of liberty and country and also an underlying spiritual foundation of faith in God. Also required is a willingness to defend these things. Otherwise, the result will be an oppressive society.

Trevor Loudon's Videos Illustrate Serious Threats to America

Trevor Loudon's “America Under Siege” video series documents and explains how the United States is endangered by socialist and communist radical and violent activity and threats being promoted by Russian-supported socialist-communist and Islamic jihad organizations. Violent protests across America are not and have not been “spontaneous,” but highly organized and paid for by anti-American promoters of chaos, including organizations affiliated with the Democratic National Committee in support of Hillary Clinton.

These groups organize demonstrations and violent protests in support of radical Islam, Palestinian support against Israel and America, and foreign communist and socialist countries. Under Barack Obama's administration, these groups were tolerated and sometimes actively supported. Barack Obama is a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood and their front groups including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). These are terrorist-related groups who still have their people in the federal government in various offices, including Congress.

It should be a matter of principle that any people or entity which has adopted terrorism as its major strategy, such as the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, should not be trusted until they have changed their ways for a long, long time, if ever. This should preclude any pretense of a “peace process,” or a Palestinian state beside Israel (my opinion).

As Loudon's videos show, communist-socialist groups now command a substantial following of young people and college professors and other “intellectuals,” as well as the mainstream media and the Democratic “progressive” politicians. They are working feverishly in an attempt to bring down President Donald Trump, and with that to establish a socialist state. Their young followers have become convinced that Trump represents racism and fascism, and is like Hitler, etc., and that the socialist leaders are “anti-fascists." Through this lens of abysmal ignorance and readiness to believe the socialists' lies a great many are radicalized to the point that they might never change their views.

“America Under Siege: Soviet Islam” documents how the Soviet Union trained and used radical Islamists to sow chaos in the U.S., and how Putin has continued and expanded that effort. I recommend watching both of these videos, and also Loudon's video “America Under Siege: Antifa,” included in a recent post on this blog.

Loudon's “America Under Siege: Civil War” describes the now-familiar state of division in the U.S., showing how political radicals are working for chaos, thence destruction of America as a sovereign constitutional republic.

The Democratic Party Base Is Socialist-Communist

By Eddie Howell

Democratic Socialists of America logo
(Wikipedia.org)

The Democrats have already given us a socialist-communist president in Barack Obama. Many of his far-left appointees are still in government, and there are dozens of socialist-communists in Congress.* The “Liberal” or “Progressive” label usually indicates a socialist-communist politician. Americans may have a hard time believing that, but it is nonetheless true.

The “loyal opposition” isn't so loyal these days. Many of the leftist Democrats are members of, or are closely working with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and very often with the Communist Party USA (CPUSA).* The DSA is a Marxist organization and hardly different from communist. Like the CPUSA, they would like to overthrow capitalism and establish a socialist state. They strongly support communist countries.

Socialism goes against the U. S. Constitution, so these politicians are actually in violation of their oath of office.** It is not a stretch to call them domestic enemies of the United States. They are more loyal to socialism and communism than to America. With the virulent hate campaign against President Donald Trump, they are actually attempting to mount a coup d'etat against the U.S. They welcome the violent acts of Black Lives Matter and Antifa as part of their “revolution.” The idea is to create chaos in America and end the presidency of Donald Trump. Although they present themselves as “Democrats,” they are politically far from traditional Democratic Party positions and values.

And most voters don't understand the danger they represent to American life and liberty. Also, many Millennials know little about the nature of socialism, which they claim to prefer, let alone communism, which is just a very small step further, and, for American socialists, is practically the same thing.

Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation reports that their research shows

For starters, as of this year, more Millennials would prefer to live in a socialist country (44%) than in a capitalist one (42%). Some even said they would prefer to live in a communist country (7%). The percentage of Millennials who would prefer socialism to capitalism is a full ten points higher than that of the general population.

Further, Millennials had trouble defining socialism and communism, and were often unaware of some important historical facts. Only 19% of Millennials knew that communism has killed over 100 million people (murdered by their own governments). And 47% of Millennials were unfamiliar with Mao Zedong, under whose reign over 60 million people were murdered.

Voters need to understand the nature and history of communism and socialism. Each leads to government running everything, and dictating many aspects of individuals' lives. Economically, neither will produce prosperity, but will lead to chronic shortages and poverty, because central planning doesn't work. Soon, only the elite are able to avoid these things. If you don't have economic freedom, you don't have freedom. Under socialism, there's little incentive to produce better products. The main incentive is for people to gain more power over others. Thus the worst people are soon in charge.

For socialists and communists, the end justifies the means. Any use of lying, theft, or terrorism on any pretext is OK if it advances the cause of the revolution. The promised prosperity and equality is never delivered.

According to Walter E. Williams,

...Why are leftists soft on communism? The reason leftists give communists, the world's most horrible murderers, a pass is that they sympathize with the chief goal of communism: restricting personal liberty. In the U.S., the call is for government control over our lives through regulations and taxation.

*Documented in detail by Trevor Loudon in his books Barack Obama and the Enemies Within and The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists, and Progressives in the U.S. Congress.

**An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God,” This section does not affect other oaths required by law.

Cold War Today: The Socialist and Communist Threat Continues

By Eddie Howell

Whittaker Chambers     Freebase/Public Domain

Communist espionage and influence in the U.S. Government were substantial as World War II was ending and the Cold War beginning, and was a continuous problem. The communist underground today is still there, functioning in various ways, such as cyber war. Also, with the number of communist-related members of Congress in sensitive committee positions, as documented in Trevor Loudon's book The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists, and Progressives in the U.S. Congress [1], who can doubt that foreign communists have easy access to many of our supposed secrets? Communism shows its ugly head above ground also through the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), which strongly influences many “progressive” Democrats and manifests itself more directly through Black Lives Matter and Antifa, groups which should be designated as terrorist organizations, along with their pals the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a companion organization to the CPUSA, and their functions overlap and complement each other, and, along with labor unions which are largely communist-controlled, virtually control the Democratic party. (284)  Despite its name, Antifa is a fascist group. It is a mistake to think that Communists and fascists are somehow opposites. They differ somewhat in structure, but they are essentially socialists. The historical friction between them has occurred mainly because they have competed, often violently, to recruit the same types of people to their organizations.

The goal of these organizations in America and other places is to bring down the United States as a sovereign nation, to work toward a communist society and eventual world government, and if and when necessary or opportune, to use force to accomplish this. Meanwhile, they work against Christianity and Judaism, support jihadist Islam, and support communist countries such as Cuba, China, Venezuela, and North Korea.

We should be under no illusions that socialism is materially different from communism. Once socialism takes hold, even in in a “free world” country, the government becomes increasingly tyrannical and coercive, the economy plummets, and traditional freedoms and customs are on their way out. This is the trend in Canada and Europe, among other places.

So, whether a country calls itself communist or socialist, the end result is communism. American socialists, such as the DSA (formerly the Socialist Party of America) and its associated organizations are Marxists, virtually indistinguishable from communists, with whom they are closely associated.

America believes in political freedom, which extremists use against us. The aims of communism have not changed since the days of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. American communists are often Cold War veteran Marxist-Leninists or their children.

Today, George Soros and other communist globalists are financing seditious and treasonous anti-American activities, such as Antifa violence and anti-police activism. There follows a list to summarize some of the communist-socialist goals and beliefs. Fabian socialists may be considered part of this group also.

1. They claim to hate private profits and private property.

2. They care nothing for the U. S, Constitution or the freedoms it protects, despite the CPUSA's deceptive promotion of “Bill of Rights socialism.” The Constitution limits government, and therefore is disliked by socialists.

3. The communists buy votes through offers of “free stuff,” and enlist politicians by providing help and finances for their political campaigns.

4. Where communism takes hold, nations suffer economic catastrophes, and often mass starvation, intentionally inflicted on some of the people by their rulers.

5. When socialism takes over, the worst people are soon in charge. [2]

6. Many normal acts are criminalized under socialism. Even in England, when the Labour Party succeeded in establishing socialism in the 1940s, people could go to jail for missing work. Further, as Flynn  notes in The Road Ahead, 1949,

Now England makes the experiment, blown up with promises of freedom. But already she has got around to the ways of the tyrant. She asserts over the worker the right to say where he shall or shall not work. She asserts the right to throw the farmer who does not meet her directives off his farm. And this English experiment would collapse tomorrow if the strong arm of American capitalism were withdrawn from its support. Indeed it is collapsing now even with that powerful arm around it. [3]

7. American communists are more loyal to other countries or a globalist goal than to America. Central economic planning does not work, and cannot be supported by any rational economic theory. In practice it is very arbitrary and ultimately destroys prosperity (except for the ruling elites).

 8. The murders of millions by Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong are natural            outgrowths of socialism and communism. Whittaker Chambers, who was an  underground communist agent and later left the Communist Party, explains in his autobiography Witness, that he became a communist, thinking it was the only hope for saving mankind after the disastrous World War and other problems.[4] 

When Stalin initiated the great purges, viciously murdering anyone he thought might be a threat to his power, or who seemed to fit his conspiracy theories, Chambers came to realize that Stalin's behavior showed the evil, not only of Stalin, but of communism, and was the logical result of communism. When he left communism, he remarked that he and his family were leaving the winning side and going to the losing side, but he could not do otherwise. [5]

(As Chambers continued working against communism, he found a lot of opposition in the government, largely due to communist influences. His testimony against Alger Hiss, who had been his close communist friend, was a difficult and bitter ordeal. President Truman called the Hiss case a “red herring.” Hiss was finally imprisoned for perjury.* Chambers was indicted for perjury, but when his claims were at last borne out, the charge was dropped.)

        (*Update to clarify: Hiss was convicted of perjury for claiming he had not committed espionage. He could not be convicted of espionage at that time because the statute of limitations for it had expired.)

9. There are more socialists and communists in responsible government positions at all levels of government than there were during the Cold War. There are no background checks for elected officials, and many, including prominent leaders, could not pass a routine FBI background check. Yet they serve on such committees as Intelligence, Homeland Security, etc.

10. Globalist world government would be communist. Generally, only Marxists support it, including some billionaire "capitalists," who are basically corporatist fascists.

11. “Free trade” agreements currently in place (WTO, NAFTA, etc.) do not provide real free trade, but “managed trade,” subject to many onerous rules and unfair results. Actual free trade would involve getting governments out of the way, except for enforcing contracts, dealing with crime, etc.     
12. Socialists and communists are using government-supported social experiments to destroy              traditional family relationships, social structure, and education. Leftist indoctrination is often the main content of school social studies today. Leftist professors and administrators in the universities,    leftist judges, and LGBTQ radicals are examples of some who perpetrate abuses in America as socialists and communists.

13. Because of their desire for worldwide socialist-communist government, the globalists don't            mind, and ultimately desire, putting the U.S. at an economic disadvantage relative to other                  countries, and therefore promote endless debt, unnecessary foreign aid, and high taxes.

14. By opposition to the military, and promotion of unilateral or other unfair disarmament (in the name of “peace”), leftists work to undermine American national security.

15. By encouraging open borders and massive “refugee” and other immigration, leftists hope to bring in millions of Democrat voters (since leftist activism is mainly focused on the Democratic Party).        .

Thus far, I have, for the most part, merely stated the problem. But many people are unable to see that it is a problem, and that freedom is steadily, if somewhat slowly, being taken from us. But we may not be too far from complete tyranny, enforced at gunpoint, and the loss of our constitutional freedoms. We still have rights, but we could be forcibly stopped from exercising them if we allow current socialist and communist advances to continue. These trends must be reversed if we are to keep our Republic.

All forms of collectivism should be abhorrent to anyone who values the rights of individuals. But politicians and others who identify as liberals, progressives, socialists, or communists believe or claim to believe that concern for “social justice” and “the common good” outweighs individual considerations, and, ultimately, that the end justifies the means.

As Ayn Rand pointed out in her essay, “The Establishing of an Establishment” (1972),

Two world wars, three monstrous dictatorships -- in Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, Red China -- plus every lesser variant of devastating socialist experimentation in a global spread of brutality and despair, have not prompted modern intellectuals to question or revise their dogma. They still think it is daring, idealistic, and unconventional to denounce the rich. They still believe that money is the root of all evil -- except government money, which is the solution to all problems. [6]

The Communist Party USA today praises and promotes communist and socialist countries, such as Venezuela, Cuba, Vietnam, etc. For them, the “imperialist” U.S. and West are the bad guys and are largely responsible for these countries' troubles. (See an example here.)

Also, for them, Lenin is still a great hero, and the Russian Revolution is something to be celebrated in observance of its 100^th anniversary.

An article in the CPUSA official newspaper, Peoples World, lamenting the collapse of the Soviet Union, states,

...Finally, no criticism of Soviet socialism can be seriously presented by Communists that does not explicitly recognize that the destruction of the USSR has been an unmitigated disaster for humanity. Not only was socialism uprooted in Eastern Europe with the establishment of right-wing capitalist governments, but millions of lives have been lost, far more than ever killed by Stalin, in the horrific mass slaughters and ethnic genocide, committed with the support and instigation of western imperialism, in the dismemberment and destruction of Yugoslavia and several former Soviet republics, and in the never-ending neocon wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which continue to spread throughout the Middle East. None of this would have occurred if the Soviet Union had not been destroyed.

In the former Soviet republics, a few thousand people died, and more thousands were injured mostly in conflicts between different ethnic groups. In the Yugoslav wars after the Soviet collapse, perhaps as many as 140,000 people died and up to 3 million people became refugees or were displaced in their homeland. These things are tragic, but nothing like the 20 million or so killed by Stalin. It is quite a stretch to say that the Mideast wars of the 1990s and following would not have happened had the Soviet Union remained in place. Also, the “uprooting of socialism” in Eastern Europe was a liberating benefit to people who had long suffered under Soviet control.

Considering the shameful and murderous history of the Soviet Union, with its ongoing terror, the Gulag, bad economic management, and general oppressiveness, the revolution of 1989-1991 was a welcome and beneficial change.

An article by Professor Archie Brown “Reform, Coup and Collapse: The End of the Soviet State” on the BBC website dated 02/17/2011 gives a positive view:

Not a shot was fired by a Soviet soldier as the Central and East Europeans took their countries' destinies into their own hands. In Western capitals it had been an axiom prior to Gorbachev's coming to power that Soviet control over Eastern Europe was non-negotiable and that the most that could be achieved would be an amelioration of oppressive regimes...

Seldom, if ever, has a highly authoritarian political system, deploying military means sufficient to destroy life on earth, been dismantled so peacefully. Never has an empire disintegrated with so little bloodshed. Although huge difficulties remained for the successor states, the way Soviet communism came to an end was one of the great success stories of 20th century politics.

Of course, it remains to be seen what the future may hold under Vladimir Putin, since it seems he wants to restore the Russian empire.

Retiring Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), official portrait

The Democrats' socialist-communist base is calling the shots these days for the party, and the American political left now represents the most significant threat to America today, short of a nuclear attack. The Democrat leaders such as Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders are all socialists, with ties to the Communist Party USA. “Iconic” Rep. John Conyers has a long history with the Communist Party (7287) and the DSA. Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama were mentored by communists, whose interests are much the same as their own: socialism, anti-capitalism, and far left society with government running as many things as possible, to one day lead to a world communist government. America itself doesn't matter – only the revolution matters, a la Saul Alinsky.

That is why the left is so viciously attacking and persecuting Donald Trump and anyone associated with him. Their loyalty is not to America, but to socialism. Their goal is not American well-being, but socialism. They do not care about economic prosperity, and if in power, they will deliver the opposite. They claim to be the party of the “workers,” opposing capitalist “wage-slavery,” but whenever the socialists-communists have been in power, the norm becomes widespread poverty, and a fear-driven way of life. Communists have murdered tens of millions of their own citizens in the 20^th century, and in places like Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea the murders continue, though not in such great numbers.

Communism is an evil system, and it must be strenuously opposed. Socialism and communism are practically synonymous. It's not far wrong to say that America is in a political civil war, but, up to now, it is perhaps better understood as a continuation of the Cold War. The collapse of the Soviet Union tends to obscure the fact that communism in America still poses a serious danger today. Communists like George Soros and others are financing violence, sedition, and treason. Communists today are no more loyal to the United States than the Soviet agents of the old Cold War. American communists over the years have greatly admired the Soviets, and practically idolized any actual Russians they knew.[7] The CPUSA today is supportive of communism and socialism wherever it is found, and against any American foreign policy that is unfavorable to communism. This is a step beyond divided loyalty.

The anti-Trump movement in some ways has crossed the line of common decency into sedition and treason through violent “protests,” etc. The Mueller Witch Hunt seems to have its goal the impeachment of President Trump, and has far exceeded its mandate, with no letup in sight. I hope Mueller will soon be fired and a new special prosecutor appointed to investigate the crimes of Hillary Clinton and others.

As Whittaker Chambers emphasizes in his excellent book Witness, the underlying evil of communism is its rejection of God.[8] It is this broad rejection which opens the way to promoting dissolution of the family, sexual immorality, and the radical LGBTQ agenda, while promoting government control of as many things as possible. Under that system, it is understood that the end justifies the means, whatever the means may be.

The “swamp” contains the participants and enablers of this destructive movement. The draining of the swamp can be realized in part by putting political pressure on politicians to change their ways, and partly by replacing the ones who won't. Education is key, but in the current atmosphere, change is going to be a difficult struggle.

The election of Donald Trump has given us a window of opportunity to make improvements along these lines. This window may not remain open very long. We must indeed pray that God will bless America, and restore her to real greatness. The situation calls for knowledge of and participation in politics, even by people who have had little to no interest in politics before. Politics has an interest in all of us.

Democratic Party Needs Serious Reform

By Eddie Howell

There seems to be no end to the lengths the Clintons and their leftist minions were willing to go to in order to secure the presidency for Hillary Clinton. At best, a presidential campaign is rough business, and any candidate needs to be ready for a lot, and perhaps try to give as good as they get. But aren't there limits to what can be termed honorable behavior? Not so much in the Clinton world.

Was Hillary defeated just because of negligent campaigning? Playing mainly to a far-left base, neglecting white working people, assuming the supposedly blue states were all safe? Could it be the scandal-after-scandal history of the Clinton criminal enterprises had some effect? There seem to be numerous reasons for Hillary's defeat which were not the “fault” of anyone outside her own group – the Russia dossier, Uranium One, emails, Foundation donation, the Benghazi lies, etc., not one of which was engineered by Comey, Trump or anyone outside the Clintons' circle.

Democrats are currently lamenting Donna Brazile's attempt at setting some records straight, accusing Brazile of betrayal simply because she reveals the shady shenanigans of Clinton's DNC takeover. They can't understand why these revelations should ever come to light, just as they can't understand why the Podesta emails should have been revealed.

The Democratic Party is now in quite a bad state, and even some Democrats are extremely disappointed in what has been happening. The Communist-riddled Democratic Party is having trouble coming to terms with why or how they could have failed to gain the big prize. Their response, and that of their media has been to launch an unprecedented hate campaign against President Donald Trump. Well, not exactly unprecedented, but along the lines of what the liberals and communists did to Senator Joseph McCarthy, and now they're striving for a similar result with Donald Trump.

Democratic strategist Doug Schoen, appearing on Fox News' Hannity had a strong critique of the party, as shown in the video below:

The Democrats' main strategy in their own defense seems to be trying to establish moral equivalence to the sins of the GOP, and, mainly, trying to destroy their critics. Donna Brazile may end up as persona non grata to the Democrats simply for telling the truth. She deserves better.

Until the Democrats stop being controlled by their far-left base and globalist bosses, they should not expect to endear themselves to the people who actually do the work of America and pay the bills. Most Americans are not communists or socialists, and those benighted millennials and others who think they want to be, need to get a clue as to what can work and what can't.

Beware! Socialists and Communists in Congress! But Probably You Knew That

By Eddie Howell

A disturbing fact about the Democrats of the United States Congress is that many who identify themselves as “Progressive” or “Liberal” are in fact socialists, and many have strong connections with the Communist Party USA. Some can be identified as Communist Party members.

“Progressive” or “Liberal” doesn't sound as bad to most Americans as “Socialist,” and “Socialist" doesn't sound as bad as “Communist.” But their stands on many issues and many of their goals are identical.

Trevor Loudon's 689-page book The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists, and Progressives in the U.S. Congress* is a thoroughly documented and very detailed analysis of its subject, complete with many footnotes, photographs, and quotations. The book was published in 2013 and profiles many individual members of Congress of that time, most of whom are still there, giving their socialist, progressive, and communist connections in detail. See World Net Daily's review here.

America's largest socialist organization, the Democratic Socialists of America (or DSA), formerly the Socialist Party of America, is very influential in the Congress, working closely with numerous Senators and Representatives. The DSA lists 70 members of Congress (House and Senate) as its members. The DSA itself is not a political party now, but an activist organization devoted to socialist causes. It is only minimally different from the Communist Party in its policies and methods.

The DSA list includes Bernie Sanders (of course), Dennis Kucinich, John Conyers, Keith Ellison, and 66 more.

The DSA works with many far-left organizations, such as the leftist think tank Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), and many other related socialist and communist organizations addressing the various issues and activities the leftists are interested in.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Communist Parties are directed by China, Cuba, North Korea, and communists of other countries, including Russia. The communists are now out of power in the former Soviet Union, but their long-established front organizations still exist, and continue to be influential. Communism is far from dead. So members of the Communist Party USA are not loyal to America first, but to those foreign communists calling the shots. To the extent that people in Congress are working for global government, they are not loyal to America either, in the sense that most Americans are. I believe they don't mind compromising America's best interests for socialist causes. People who disagree with them are labeled as bigots, racists, etc.

Democrat members of the “Quad Caucus,” (1209) i.e. the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (some are members of more than one of these), are the most active in socialist and communist activities. Loudon lists the members of each of these as of 2013.

The methods of these people, who are acting to bring down America as a sovereign nation and establish socialism and eventually a world government, resemble the ways of the Fabian Society described in my previous blog article. Rather than promote violent revolution, they prefer gradualism.

For socialists, bringing about change gradually is, in their view, much more likely to succeed than changing things through violence. However, these days they seem willing to put up with increasing violence, as we have seen recently through Black Lives Matter and Antifa. So their opposition to violence is pragmatic rather than a matter of principle. Whatever works would be OK, including arson, rioting, and murder. Through the Fabian Society and others, socialists have pretty well taken over the American educational system. I believe that Loudon's book does not mention the Fabian Society, but there are many similarities to the progressive-socialist-communist methods he documents: Penetrate, infiltrate, and permeate the established institutions. And strike hard when the time is right. Antifa may represent the start of that hard strike on the part of the leftists. The following video was posted on YouTube on September 25, 2017:

According to Loudon, the communists early targeted the labor movement, and by 1995 had managed to exert control over the AFL-CIO, having replaced strongly anti-communist leaders George Meany and Lane Kirkland. Thus their influence is spread over most American labor organizations, including the communist front the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (1355)

Progressives and Socialists in Congress often work with communist front organizations such as Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE), which succeeded the Communist Workers Party (CWP). The AAFE is pro-China (1558). Another communist front is the World Peace Council (founded by Soviet communists). Various “peace” organizations are communist-influenced.

Democrat members of Congress have written articles for the People's Weekly World, official newspaper of the Communist Party USA, have spoken at many Communist Party conferences and other events, accompanied communist party members on trips to Cuba and Vietnam, and have been recognized as “non-party friends” in communist publications.

Loudon's material is, I believe, authentic and undeniable. We have a heavy socialist-communist presence in our Congress. It becomes a bit clearer why so many in government have disdain for ordinary non-socialist people (“deplorables,” as Hillary Clinton called them), don't like patriotism, and oppose the military. They support Cuba. They play up anything that can be presented as victimhood, i.e. “oppression” of favored groups. They support the LGBTQ agenda. They don't like conservative Christianity. They don't want anyone complaining about Muslims. They want higher taxes in order to “invest” in social programs at the expense of military spending. They want America to disarm (and thus be weaker than other countries) in the name of “peace,” never considering the concept of “peace through strength.”

Their current projects as of 2017 include destruction of historic statues, destruction of the purpose of the university (political correctness instead of academic achievement), disarming the citizens, and through fear-mongering in regard to conservatism, making socialism fashionable. Most Americans still believe we should follow the Constitution. Socialists want to get rid of it because it restricts government.

Socialists never explain how they are going to produce the workers' paradise. They really can't because no rational economic theory supports it. Socialism is death, leading to hell on earth. One need only look at the socialist empires of the twentieth century, and socialist countries (e.g., Venezuela, North Korea, and Cuba) today to see that. The situation is disturbing, and calls for action to remove these people from office as much and as soon as possible. This will involve dealing with politics. Politics is certainly dealing with us.

Below is a presentation from May 2017 by Mr. Loudon on his book. He spoke in Mission Viejo, CA to a local chapter of Act! for America:

How Socialists Are Taking Over America

By Eddie Howell

The present day “Liberal” or “Progressive” movement, owes much, if not most, of its present-day power to the Fabian Society of Britain, and their political offspring, the Fabian Society in the U.S. and its numerous affiliates, past and present. The American left is currently graced by such luminaries as Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, as well as many other politicians, government bureaucrats, judges, “mainstream journalists” of print and television, plus numerous supporters in the entertainment field, among many others,

The left seems oddly united in purpose, program, and message. This not accidental, but is the result of careful planning over many years, aimed at gradually establishing a world socialist government, by bringing down the United States as a sovereign nation, and making it instead a borderless unit in a world socialist federation under central control of a worldwide authority. The end result would likely be the equivalent of Soviet Communism at its worst, producing tyranny, poverty, and great loss of human life through murder of citizens, famine, wars, etc.

[This would correspond to the end-times Antichrist as described in the Book of Revelation. It is at root a satanic effort, that seems to be proceeding according to schedule. If this is the case, it will be stopped by the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe the mechanisms necessary for the setting up of the end-time temporary rule of the Antichrist are already in place to a great extent, but the further discussion here will focus on secular events which, if not stopped won't be long in destroying America as a sovereign nation.]

The Fabian movement, and its soulmate, the organization known as Americans for Democratic Action, have managed to place selected and trained individuals in positions of responsibility in government, arts and letters, and numerous other places of responsibility and power, starting very modestly, and working mainly through college professors and friendly politicians, economists and others. Thus the levers of power are now largely in the hands of socialists, who avoid calling themselves socialists, for fear of public rejection.

An early logo of the British Fabians contained a drawing representing a wolf in sheep's clothing, since that is how they viewed themselves. They used the words democratic and liberal instead of socialist. Their plans have been largely successful because few people outside the Fabian movement knew what was going on, and those who reported on it were few and not widely read by the British or American people. Most people trust the authorities and do not bother with a lot of political reading.

I have been among those who, although having heard of Fabian socialism, and that it was a group trying to bring about socialism gradually by peaceful means, had no idea what they have actually accomplished. We certainly are not reading much about them in the MSM, and they would probably act offended if you called their ideas socialist. Conservative news and opinion outlets rarely if ever mention them, but they actually constitute the greatest threat to America outside of a nuclear attack.

The following is a brief list of their goals:

1. To undermine American independence and power as a sovereign nation.
2. To weaken our economy through large deficit spending and unmanageable debt.
3. Through a globalist economic structure, to move American jobs and resources to other countries.
4. To increase American foreign aid and get little in return.
5. To work toward a more massive welfare state, culminating in global socialism under a strong central authority.
6. To promote massive immigration, legal or illegal, i.e. open borders.
7. To promote contentious political quarrels that result in civil unrest.
8. To avoid harm to socialist or communist countries.

The current Fabian symbol is no longer a wolf in sheep's clothing, but a tortoise with the words “When I strike, I strike hard.” And it seems to be poised to strike harder soon.

The Fabians, who control the Labour Party in Britain, managed to establish socialism in the 1940s and came close to wrecking the British economy and bankrupting the country. By 1950, the people were ready for a different administration, and were tired and impoverished by the socialists' attempt at creating a workers' paradise. But of course, the socialists placed much blame on the American economy, despite the fact that America had provided them many gifts of money and other items, although it could not continue to do so. Socialism doesn't work!

The early Fabians virtually idolized Stalin and the Soviet Union, conveniently overlooking the bloodbath of the Russian Revolution and ongoing atrocities. The Fabians never put up any serious opposition to communism. Fabian leaders visited Moscow and came back with glowing reports.

Prominent Fabians in Britain included Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Clement Atlee, and Harold Wilson.

Prominent American Fabians included Dean Acheson, Harry Hopkins, Dean Rusk, Eleanor Roosevelt, Adlai Stevenson, Margaret Mead, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and Walter Lippman, among others, and numerous “cooperators.” Rose L. Martin has several lists of names in the appendices of her book Fabian Freeway (see below).

Whatever their organizational affiliations may be, most leading Democrat politicians and leftists in general would probably feel at home among Fabian socialists, and are working, wittingly or not, toward Fabian goals.

The obvious reason for the leftists' hysterical hate campaign against Donald Trump is that he is now the main obstacle to American adoption of full-on globalism. This will likely continue until Trump is out of the picture or until Trump prevails and the globalists are defeated. This will take a political awakening on the part of American patriots to the dangers, and probably will require a spiritual awakening in America also. We should pray for President Trump and pray that the socialists will be defeated.
