Socialism In The US House…takes hold

Posted on by Helena

With the Democrat House filing into DC they bring with them a new host of Socialists.  And one might gasp except that in 2010 the Socialist Party released a list of 70 Congressional Democrats who were also members of the Socialist Party of America.   They endorsed none other than John Kerry and Obama.  In the latest election 15 Socialists were elected to office across the US.  While the numbers may seem small from a percentage standpoint, they do reveal an evolution.   The EU Commission is comprised of Socialists, the UN is run by Social Democrats, and still, despite the collapse of Venezuela, the push continues.

In every Socialist state, the first death is that of the Middle Class.   Those who have much, have more, and those who had nothing, have something.   The fact that those who had nothing was a high percentage is what keeps the power operating.  Until it collapses.

And so the question arises, why does it collapse?

Opinion pieces are rampant in this discussion, most recently Bloomberg’s op-ed attempted to sway the discussion of Venezuela, and instead highlight the vast progress and effectiveness of Bolivia’s Socialist President, Morales.    The opinion piece claims there is a right way and a wrong way to do Socialism and lists Venezuela as the wrong way compared to Bolivia as the right way.  Noah Smith, the author of the piece bills himself as a neoliberal on his Twitter status.

But is Bolivia really a ‘right’ way, or is the author simply attempting to validate Socialism?

Bolivia’s President Morales continues to win re-election, not because his policies are good for Bolivia, but because he has given something to a population that had nothing, and virtually eliminated the Middle Class in the process.  He is elected by the poor, the 40% of the population living below poverty line.   Despite being given vast free assistance from Cuba and Brazil, Bolivia continues to rank in the bottom bowels of South America’s economy, ranked just above Venezuela.  Somehow Noah Smith didn’t read that far.

Bloomberg’s, Smith, cites the fact that they have GDP growth… and makes the claim that illiteracy has been eradicated.  Unemployment is made up of unskilled laborers, and skilled workers are in high shortage.  Corruption is rampant, a dictatorial rule is leveraged, while only 40% of the youth population continue school after the 4thgrade, and 20% enter secondary school, UNESCO has declared the country to be wholly literate.   In case you are math challenged, UNESCO warns that the rate can not be higher than 100%…   Unlike Florida which typically allows upwards of 140% of the population to vote.   I digress.

In terms of World Ranking – Bolivia is followed by Zimbabwe.

Not exactly a stellar record to use in support of Socialism.

The splintering and demise of the Republican and Democrat Parties is parlayed.

While Noah Smith argues that Socialism didn’t destroy Venezuela, hyperinflation did, he rather bizarrely refuses to acknowledge what caused ‘hyperinflation’.   It is humorous to note that Venezuela is referred to as the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela – it followed the exact same ideologies and principles as Morales does now in Bolivia.  The Bolivarian Revolution in 1999 ushered in Chavez as the savior of the Republic.  He vied for ‘socialism or death’.   Chavez government was called the Bolivarian government.  He created a new Constitution – as did Morales.  They support social welfare, social property, communes, universal healthcare, and of course, redistribution of wealth.

The only difference between Bolivia and Venezuela is that Chavez introduced Socialist policies beginning in 1999, Morales took office in 2006, Bolivia simply hasn’t reached the same crescendo – yet.

While the Soviet Union took decades to rise from the ashes of it’s socialist/communist rule instituted by the Bolsheviks, Venezuela and Bolivia don’t have the machismo or brute intellect to know how to recreate failing economics despite being rich in natural resources.  Reading of the demise of Venezuela, it reads as a static version of Bolivia’s current crisis and stagnation – crime rates soaring, riots, protests, inability to redirect industry from oil, vast resources left untapped, education crisis, etc…

Despite Noah Smith attempting to frame Socialism as simply mishandled, he has shown that his own understanding is rather pathetic.    But what he isn’t noticing is the fact that while both ruling parties in the US are crumbling, fracturing, and called out as failures (thank you Romney), the evolution of Socialism historically appears as a saving solution only to completely destroy the country so relegated – from within.

The EU is only now waking up to their own demise promulgated by the Socialist/Communist regimes of Merkel, Macron, and May.  Sweden is Falling faster than the Twin Towers, and Norway is a close second.   But then, that is the plan…

We The People, have that authority.  It is a choice.

VOTE!

There are two memes being floated that bear some analysis.  One is the Left’s rise of the Socialism in the US – the other is the notion that Nikki Haley, an ultra right wing, could ever gain acceptance to run as President.  Both are extremes.  Both signal a massive shift.  Both convey the theory that the current parties, Democrat and Republican, are going to die.

Most people in the US are neither, most people describe themselves as falling somewhere in the middle, so how could these extremists rise to take power?

Both parties are perceived to be comprised of old fodder, old school.  People want vibrance – change!  This was the campaign that ushered in Obama – and it worked.  Division was instigated and massive-massive wealth was sheltered to a few.  The ‘youth effect’ is why Trudeau is in office despite being a complete economic ninny.  Macron. Campaigns are calling for the ‘youth vote’.  Why?   Because it has been on the fence and could alter the course of election.  Universities are the source of Socialism, they advocate it, support it, and recreate it so as to give it the appearance of the Garden of Eden.

Feminists are the other liberal skew.  Feminists lean significantly toward more socialist ideals advocating for everything equal-equal, welfare for all, and the redistribution ideal.

So, the Socialist shift is capitalizing on both the youth movement and feminists.

Who would vote for a right wing extremist hawk like Nikki Haley?

Ultra evangelicals won’t because they don’t believe in a woman President.   Moderate conservatives won’t because they aren’t hawks.  The only way Haley would have a chance would be if the only other option was a Socialist.  However, she could garner the hawks, and the remaining Swamp vultures which would skew the Republican vote and diminish a win.

The Democrat Party runs the risk of allowing the Socialist movement to continue gaining traction because it skews and divides liberal votes giving more traction to the alternate Republican or Right Wing.

It is and always has been about – DIVISION.

In 1912, four parties ran for office:  Democrat, Progressive, Republican and Socialist.   Teddy Roosevelt got in a spat with Taft, the Republican, and initiated a third party run as Progressive.  What he accomplished was a schism in the votes whereby Democrat, Woodrow Wilson won with 41.8% of the votes.  Had Teddy kept is pandering in check, the votes he and Taft garnered would have secured the election at 50.6%.  It was sheer pride stupidity.  Or was it?

It changed the course of history giving the Democrats control to usher in the Federal Reserve System under Wilson.  The Fed, the same Banking Cartel that became the shadow government and has ruled ever since. Wilson also found the US Constitution filled with corrupt potential and vowed to change it.  He supported segregation.  He advocated lowering tariffs, but to do so had to implement the new federal income tax.  And the people fell like slaughtered sheep

In other words, because of the implementations of Wilson at the behest of the Banking Cartel, the American people were thus levied an insurmountable income tax, and handed over our monetary system to the private control of the banking system named the Federal Reserve under the rule of unelected individuals.

Single handedly, Teddy was manipulated or in collusion to alter the course of this country forever by ushering in the pawn, Woodrow Wilson.

It was essentially a coup and the American people went down without a fight.

The parallels today are frightening.  We don’t know who to trust, who is lying, who is manipulating.  But if we aren’t careful, the disruptive of an undivided party will be death.

It was a game that altered everything we know today, created a disbalance of wealth, and relegated control of our country to the shadow government that today still controls the money supply.

Who runs the Federal Reserve, the private banking cartel that decides our fate?

Jerome Powell was elected to the Board by Trump.  But a quick look at his background reveals that he worked for The Carlyle Group whose cartel is well plugged in the Netherlands, land of the BIS, the core of money laundering and the mafia.  One of its founders, David Rubenstein is well entrenched in;  Council on Foreign relations, Harvard, Aspen Institute, Brookings Institute, World economic Forum, etc… etc… etc…

He is quoted as saying, “The only game in Washington is the Fed.”

One of the first Chairman of the Federal Reserve was William Harding.  Coincidentally, he was also managing director of the War Finance Corporation.  “The War Finance Corporation was a government corporation in the United States created to give financial support to industries essential for World War I, and to banking institutions that aided such industries.”

In other words, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve that controls all our money was also tasked with giving money to corporations and banks according to his desire… which is essentially how the Rothschilds, Roosevelts, Morgans, Chase, etc… made their wealth.  The war bank.

Bottom Line:  That was the beginning.  The Trump effect upsided their agenda.  But drawing on history, splitting votes as they did in 1912, would effectively realign the power giving it back to the Swamp that rules NOT from the US as many believe, but from The Netherlands, the EU.  Don’t split votes!

Vote as though your life depended on it – because it does!

Red October: The Socialist Revolution in the US

Posted on by Helena

An interesting reference keeps popping up;  Red October. 

On October 25, 1917, the Bolshevik Revolution set in motion a Socialist coup in Russia, toppling and ultimately executing every member of the Tzar family of Nicolas II, including his five daughters, on July 18, 1918.   It was the Russian Revolution that ushered in Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Marx and ultimately Stalin.  This Revolution ushered in the Communist Soviet Union.

Lenin is quoted as saying, “The people have waited long enough for an armed uprising.”  And he gave it to them.  But little did they understand that the Communist block would separate a few from the many, and the many would suffer.

This is the same Soviet Union that drove the Russian people into poverty, that stagnated growth, that saw the assassination of 3.5 to 60 million people as Stalin sought to eradicate all those opposing the institution of the working class – slaves.  Despite the atrocities committed by Stalin, he was hailed Man Of The Year by Time Magazine in 1940 – and was a friend of both Churchill and FDR.  Yes, this heinous Dictator and Assassin, was lauded by our US President and the PM of Britain…

We continue to hear these same cries for an “Uprising” – only not in Russia, but in the US.  The cries come from Hollywood, from Liberals, from feminists, from prestigious universities who are moving from the traditional Democrat platform to a Socialist platform.   Not because they have the vaguest understanding of what it embodies or what it has done historically, but because – it sounds good…

Today, in that light, Obama has announced his endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez, a Socialist who has shown a complete and utter lack of knowledge, economic understanding, foreign understanding or relative business acumen.   She has no background of any content worthy of an endorsement, except that she advocates for a Dictatorship government aligned with the Red October Bolsheviks.  And that means absolute – Control.

Are we witnessing the same Ashkenazi Jewish revolt for power that was successful in the eradication of historical Russia for 70 years?  Is this the agenda for the US?

There is an alternate reference to Red October.  The Book – Film in which a submarine equipped with nuclear warheads could subvert it’s supposed mission as an anti-Russian vessel and actually attack – the US!  The concept being – who do we trust? Who is real?  Who is for the American People?  Is everything upside down?

Because the Swamp government would seem to want us dead, would seem to want America to fall, as we were considered one of two bastions that could not be controlled – the other being Russia.

The movie drama takes place between the 1980’s and 1990’s – which would coincide with the Clinton bid for Globalization Control.  And may be relevant to the destabilization that betrayal creates.

In either case, Red October does not foretell a story that is embraced as good, healthy and in our best interest.  It is a – warning.  And we need to be vigilant.  We need to heed

It reveals the fact that we have no idea who is for us – and who is against us – as our friends are our enemies and our enemies our friends.

While the division that has engulfed our country for the last five decades is very real and growing exponentially, the fact that Socialism has emerged as an alternative can actually serve to benefit the conservatives as voters on the left become divided.  These divides have historically ushered in candidates that would not have ordinarily won an election.   In that light, Obama’s betrayal of the conventional Democrat in favor of the Socialist is an interesting phenomena that could see a shift in the coming months and years… for more conservative draws.

I find it interesting that the same Hollywood that chastises the People for conspiracy theories, is itself the progenitor of Conspiracy Theories!   Hollywood has portrayed the corruption of government, the fraud of wars, the devastation of Big Pharma, ad nauseam… and yet, suddenly, they want us to believe that – oops, change of mind, change of logic, change…   The narrative is clear.   The Swamp has existed for decades.   The Swamp needs to be drained or we will be the next Communist controlled country.

Hold onto your books!  They will ultimately become our Truth!  And historically, we can expect these Truths, these Books will be destroyed, banned, eliminated from knowledge.

Because the burning of history is the ultimate means to control.

Immigration Entitlement

Posted on by Helena

Norway’s largest immigrant population demographics; Poland and Sweden.   Australia’s largest immigrant population;   England, New Zealand and mainland China.   Canada’s largest immigrant population; UK, China. Number of Syrians in Canada – 18,000 representing .1% of the population.   Switzerland largest immigrant population; Germany, Italy and Portugal.   Ireland immigrants: Poland and UK.   Japan? Foreign residents represent 1.22% of the entire population and are primarily from China and Korea. Portugal’s immigrants; Brazil and Cape Verde.

So why isn’t the media all in a tizzy over the demographics in other countries?

Recently, a number of refugees were relocated to an island in Scotland. They complained bitterly because they said the island wasn’t metropolitan enough and had an aging population with an average age of 55-59…

Of the 436,000 legal refugees brought into the US from 2011 through 2016, California took 36,000 representing .09% of the refugee population, roughly 2000 came from Syria.   Total Syrian “refugees” are estimated to number 6.3 million.   So California has given home to .03% of the Syrian refugees.   In other words, the numbers are so relatively small it’s like paying $20 on your $63,000 debt, it would take 3150 years to pay it off without interest…

In Australia immigrants must be ‘skilled workers’, must pass a comprehensive test, must have an employer lined up ready to employ you, and must remain squeaky clean for two years before you can even apply for residency. After 4 years of lawful residency, you will be considered for permanent residency which may take another year.

Canada:     According to the government, “For example: a 25 year-old female with excellent English ability, basic French knowledge, a Master’s degree with 2 years work experience in the country of origin, no prearranged employment in Canada and a spouse that has studied, lived and worked in Canada might score upwards of 80 points overall. This combined score of the six factors would make her eligible to apply for permanent residency.”

 The immigrant policies of nations around the world are strictly defined.   They have been defined in the US since 1790, revised and updated. Still, the illegal immigrants in the US are estimated to number about 12 million representing 3% of the total population.   Total immigrants in US amount to about 44 million or just over 13% of the population with most living in Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois and New Jersey.  Still – not good enough…

Gaining legal status is a difficult and costly process, however, abiding by the laws is required of every citizen. When laws no longer have effect, society collapses. Those immigrants who followed the rules through hard work and tenacity can feel bitter when a magic wand is waved and millions are simply granted a waiver.  But that is what the Liberals and Socialists are arguing.

Within this societal chaos, the rules of Order melt away and the entitlement schematic rises to the surface. I remember as my kids grew they would continually ask if something was ‘free’.   Amazement reined as they found that our house wasn’t free, my car, and ultimately even the water.   A generation has risen that was apparently not given this guidance and so they believe that everything entitled should be free…  Of course, it follows that everyone who has worked to gain wealth should then pick up the tab for all the freebies that youth can’t afford because they haven’t worked.   Somehow the switches that govern logic and rational seem to be turned – off.   Big Daddy is thus the godhead!  “You have the money, you pay, I don’t have the money so I won’t pay…”  What happened to the widow who gave her only penny?

Until this socialist generation is willing to foot the bill ‘themselves’ for the massive immigrant policies they support, they will never learn that entitlement means someone still has to pay and ultimately it will be ‘them’, should be – them.

US – a Socialist Country

Posted on by Helena

Economic Freedom measures living standards, growth, income equality and less corruption. The US has dropped from second place as the most economically free – to 16th! And falling!

We are now behind Chile, Jordon, the United Emirates, and Mauritus (a small island country off Africa). Economic freedom is defined as a laissez faire capitalist market system with minimal government regulation. Socialism is defined as greater government regulation, greater individual control of companies as in cooperatives, higher taxes, non-profit enterprises, and collective sharing. While it has been around in various forms for many centuries, it’s lacking success has shown that it is not an ideal system to aspire toward. Historically, Socialism has gravitated toward communism and the breeding of intense corruption, and a failing economy.

Leon Trotsky, Lenin, Karl Marx, the Jewish Bolsheviks, Charles Kingsley, Rosa Luxemberg, and Charles Fourier have all dabbled in Socialism. There are Socialist political parties in Norway, Sweden, the UK, Africa, Canada, and the US. Advocates push for the creation of a society in which each person is ranked according to his or her capacities and rewarded according to his or her work… Sounds a lot like communist China to me. The government decides what your capabilities are at birth and your entire education is directed toward that final destination. It’s called – absolute control.

And that is the reason it has never worked. You simply can not control an entire population indefinitely, we are a people inherently, instinctively built on freedom. We crave freedom. We fight our wars for freedom. Braveheart! We are willing to die for freedom. Corralling people into a socialist-communist agenda has never worked historically, and will not work today.

Some point to successes; Norway and Canada. But is it working? They have specific social products, like healthcare, that are hailed as great positives promoting socialist success. And while socialized medicine has some benefits, the negatives are ripe too. Fraud, corruption, long wait times – sometimes months and months, doctor shortages, higher taxes, and even the forced euthanasia of people deemed too far gone to benefit from medical care and left to die. A friend of mine told me she was on a six month waiting list to get an MRI for a suspected brain tumor.

Advocates claim we already have a socialized government, consider Social Security… Oh, that’s right, Social Security, the system that is bankrupt and borrowing from other coffers simply to sustain itself. Or our military? Currently failing for its internal corruption and fraud? The Postal Service? Failed. Public Schools? Failed. Jail system? Failed. Veterans Healthcare? Failed. Food Stamps? Failed. IRS? Failed.

Why? Why do socialized systems consistently fail?

Because the theory assumes people will comply in a world without incentive, without reward, without merit, and without voice. Because the theory assumes we will comply much like cattle. Mindless. Which opens the door to a greater medicated society, one in which we comply because we are so medicated we don’t care. Where population growth is a factor of immigration not birthrate of ethnic nationals. And because the theory supports the growth of fraud and corruption within government. Is there fraud and corruption in the private sector? Yes. But they are subject to consequence for that behavior. In the government, the corruption and fraud is tolerated, even encouraged, ie the EPA.

Alberta just this year elected a Socialist leader, Rachel Notley. But, Alberta’s economy is sliding and collapsing. Why? Fires, drought, a devastated agriculture, oil revenues in the toilet, and a budget deficit. Their ministry solution – invest more money in infrastructure and subsidize oil and agriculture losses. With what funds?

Norway’s economy is showing signs of contraction as well as 30% of government revenue is linked to oil. But Norway has been experiencing a dramatic deficiency. Over the last decade or more, it’s ethnic population has been in a spiraling decline. Some point to the need for dual incomes, others point to a lack of desire for children, and others point to infertility issues. At the same time, immigrants now account for upwards of 23% of the population, 69% from Arab countries, 31% from European countries.

Socialism is akin to pyramid marketing, everyone gets rich in the beginning, but as the dispersion of wealth becomes greater and greater, only those at the top of the pyramid survive. It sounds great in theory, but the long term sustainability has proven over and over to be a complete failure. We abhor the communist-socialists of former Russia, North Korea, and China, and yet seem oblivious when Socialism is professed as the solution elsewhere. Why?

Whenever a country’s citizens feel impoverished, they look to other methodologies as the solution. Its similar to Democrat vs Republican rule. Switch. Switch. Switch. Let’s try something new. Socialism? Destroys economies. Destroys nations. And is a precursor to the next new – a New World Order of Globalization, as we look on like sheep for someone, something, to save us from this horror called Socialism.

Just sayin’ …
