What Lurks over the Horizon? Redux

I wrote “What Lurks over the Horizon?” November 2008 just before the General Election. At that time, several “conservative” outlets were routinely publishing my commentaries, but none of them wanted to publish this piece. Go figure. A few months later I started my own blog, The Millstone Diaries. It was my first blog post, and I posted it for posterity’ sake March 2009. Read it if you dare. Peace.

What Lurks over the Horizon?

America stands poised at the edge of a precipice; her next step could send her plummeting headlong to an untimely death. Yet, to even suggest such a possibility opens the door to charges of alarmism or hyperbolic fear-mongering. The chattering classes preach that a dictatorship can’t happen here; America will survive even with one-party rule and a radical socialist in the White House. The radio talk-show host, whose persistent pipes of “Let not your heart be troubled,” has done little to allay my fears for what is likely to happen to my country if the Democrats gain a super majority in Congress and Barack Obama wins the presidency.

It seems that conservative and libertarian pundits and commentators have not connected the dots to see the picture that I see, for they would be sounding the alarm and warning Americans of the radicalism that is about to bring down their nation. Then again, perhaps some have captured the image through their rose-colored glasses but are so attached to their celebrity status that they dare not point it out for fear of being ostracized and labeled a “kook” by their more “sensible” colleagues.

Call me a kook and detest me, but name-calling and rejection will not stop this watchman from warning our fence-sitting Americans of what lurks over the horizon. Facts are stubborn things; they are not opinions subject to debate, and for that reason, two plus two always equal four, not five, contrary to the slogans in Stalin’s Soviet Union or the announcements from the Party of Big Brother in George Orwell’s dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell’s protagonist, Winston Smith, who works in the media and creates the Party’s deceptive propaganda, doesn’t know for sure if two plus two equal five, as the Party claims, “If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable—what then?”

Here we stand a divided country on the brink of entering a nightmare world, unprecedented in American politics, with an undecided electorate who are unsure for whom they will vote in this election. They see Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, six of one, half-dozen of the other, without a dime’s difference between them. Like Winston Smith, they don’t know if two plus two equal four or two and two make five.

Unlike Smith, our undecideds don’t live in an Orwellian society under a totalitarian government, at least not yet, so why don’t they know a radical socialist when they see one? Perhaps they can’t distinguish a radical socialist from a moderate conservative because they have absorbed so much conflicting information from the media making it impossible to sort out.

Conservative pundits and commentators have made a critical error in judgment by depicting Obama as the most liberal member of the Senate. Obama is anything but liberal; he is a radical socialist ideologue whose worldview and personality traits align him more with the revolutionary demagogues Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez than they do George McGovern and Jimmy Carter. This is why Castro writes in a column that Obama is “the most progressive candidate for the U.S. presidency.”

Add the word progressive to the word Democrat and you get activists demanding a socialist agenda; i.e., massive income redistribution from corporations and the wealthy to low income workers and the poor; massive reductions in military spending; an increase in social welfare spending; universal healthcare; living wage laws; the right of all workers to organize into labor unions and to engage in strikes and collective bargaining; the abolition of significant portions of the Patriot Act; the legalization of gay marriage; strict campaign finance reform laws; a complete pullout from the war in Iraq; a crackdown on free trade and corporate welfare; and the Freedom of Choice Act, which would cancel every state, federal, and local regulation on abortion, abolish all state restrictions on government funding for abortions, and if Obama is elected, use income taxes to fund abortions.

In other words, you get the issues and causes championed by both the House Progressive Caucus (HPC), which is now the single largest partisan caucus in the United States House of Representatives, and the country’s most radical socialist presidential candidate. HPC, a group made up of the most radical social democrats in Congress, is involved in symbiotic relationship with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which is the largest socialist organization in the United States.is the principal affiliate of the Socialist International, which claims to be the successor to Karl Marx’s “First International,” founded in London in 1864.

During his commencement address at Harvard, Alexander Solzhenitsyn said, “socialism of any type and shade leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death.” Eric Hoffer correctly analyzed that socialist movements attract the misfits who are dissatisfied with themselves and their lives, who blame their own condition on outside forces, and think that a change in the world around them will suddenly transform their identities and magically cure their problems. The people caught up in socialist movements are searching for meaning in their lives; therefore, they often hate the present and passionately seek a perfect tomorrow.

Hoffer understood that America had a vigorous and healthy society because of the quality of its common people. Until recently, most Americans have been comfortable in their own skin and satisfied with their own lives, which explains why they have not been mesmerized by socialist movements such as Nazism, fascism, and communism. But now, far too many Americans are mesmerized by Obama’s words and image, not for what he’s accomplished, but for what they hope he will become.

Never before has a politician had such a captivating effect on so many Americans. Such a grandiose claim “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for” by the charismatic leader of change about himself and the ruling clique of radical socialists in Congress is reason enough to give pause. Mark Levin says his greatest concern is whether the majority of voters will prove “susceptible to the appeal of a charismatic demagogue.”

It’s regrettable when any nation’s people surrender their hearts and minds over to a despot; but when the electorate of the freest people in the greatest nation on earth do it, “[t]his prospect frightens me much more than bombs.” What happened in Germany with Hitler, happened again in Cuba with Castro, and can happen here in the United States with Obama. It was the ordinary people who carried out the leader’s heinous crimes and murders believing in the glorious tomorrow promised them. “Of all tyrannies,” writes C.S. Lewis, “a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.”

The Germans had enormous war debts and a terrible economy, so they believed the charismatic leader who personified hope and went on to elect the National Socialist Workers Party (Nazis) that promised change. The Cubans also supported a young, charismatic leader who promised change, and they openly embraced his idea without asking what kind of change or knowing the price they would have to pay. The upshot for our undecided electorate to ponder is that freedom is not free and “is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

DEMOCRAT PARTY CORRUPTION

DEMOCRAT PARTY CORRUPTION

By William E. Been

In my previous article “America Under Siege,” I described “Why” Barack Obama either does or does not accomplish expectations consistent with those of an American President. My specific objective in writing the article was to encourage individuals, and particularly the media, to devote their efforts to interpreting daily events describing “How” the actions of Barack Obama support his stated and implied objectives.

The scandals documented in “America Under Siege,” illustrate the tactics, including his attack on Judeo-Christian beliefs, being used by Barack Obama to accomplish his transformation objectives. However, the failure to understand the role of the National Democrat Party is of even greater concern than not understanding the intent of Barack Obama.

In my book, Masters of Audacity and Deceit, the various organizations and individuals who made the election of a President Obama possible are summarized in three groupings with the most important of the three being the DEMOCRAT PARTY AND TRADITIONAL ALLIES. (The other two were George Soros/New World Order advocates and Progressives & Radicals.)

In this article “Democrat Party Corruption,” I will clearly define the Democrat Party as a tool used by various anti-American groups to support Progressive issues that have enabled the global leftist movement as well as having sponsored the election of Barack Obama.

As the critically important November, 2014, midterm elections approach, it is apparent that many Americans sense that something is seriously wrong with the direction of our country. Even Democrats appearing on FOX resort to referring to Obama’s actions as “incompetence” or simply “he did not know about the situation.”

Meanwhile, the national Democrats continue to campaign using the Alinsky methods involving “ends justifying means” which is best described as the politics of personal destruction and dishonesty.

During the last six years, the concerns and fears that were presented in my book and felt by so many patriotic Americans have become the reality of today. It is critical that we move beyond understanding “Why” and “How” and focus on the most dangerous threat.

With the Obama Administration and the National Democrat Party following the Cloward-Piven Strategy, a national state of confusion and misdirection has been established and maintained to mask their transformational objectives.

However, Chapter 14 in my book effectively removes the mask of confusion by describing the actions of the Democrat Party, its leaders, and the alliance with the Mainstream Media and Wall Street. When Bill Clinton stated “We have won the great culture war that has divided America for forty years,” he validated the role of the Democrat Party as being the ultimate threat to the American heritage that was established prior to this undeclared forty year war. Hillary Clinton also validated the role of the Democrat Party when the Center for American Progress was founded by urging participation in the “war that we’re engaged in with the other side.”

Given only the information presented above, it is painfully clear that the Democrat Party no longer operates as a political party driven by issues and honest debate. Rather, it has become a stronghold for leftist ideologues using any tactic of war or Alinsky to accomplish the Cloward-Piven objective of a permanent Democrat majority with absolute and unchallengeable powers. In this role, it has become the harbor for virtually every anti-American group and movement.

Effectively, the Democrat Party today provides a voice for these groups and movements that include, amongst others, the communists (CPUSA), socialists (DSA), Progressives (Congressional Progressive Caucus), Freedom From Religion, Radical Islamists, Terrorists, Marxists, Globalists, Open Borders, anti-Christian, and even anti-God which was so vividly displayed at the Democrat National Convention.

Defining and focusing on the most dangerous threat is critical for those Americans who desire to build upon the heritage and founding principles of our great nation. Also, it must be understood that Barack Obama is only a tool of leftist and Marxist groups including the National Democrat Party. In turn, the National Democrat Party of 2014 has become nothing more than an umbrella for these same leftists including international groups such as the United Nations, Islamists, European Socialists, and Russian Communists. All of these groups seek to destroy our national sovereignty and replace our Constitutional Government in favor of some undefined global governance.

In addition to harboring the leftist groups, the National Democrat Party is supported by and beholden to multiple wealthy individuals and special interest groups such as the Democracy Alliance, MoveOn.org, the Gates Foundation and many other Progressive PACs that work on a national level. This relationship is best personified by a statement made by the Director of MoveOn.org after raising a reported $300 million for the Democrat Party when he stated: “Now it is our Party. We bought it, we own it.”

Given all of the above, what can be done to preserve and restore our great country in the footsteps of those who have given so much to assure that our generation and hopefully generations to come will experience the success and prosperity that has been created by our heritage and traditions.

There is only one acceptable answer to this question other than some sort of Divine Intervention. That answer is to defeat the Democrat Party at the voting booths and start the “process” of re-establishing individual freedom, personal responsibility, personal accountability, liberty, and a profound respect for God and country.

The magnitude of this “process” is beyond the imagination of this writer but, suffice it to say, we must start and the first step has to be to stop the downward spiral being orchestrated by Barack Obama and the other National Democrat leaders under the tutelage of the various anti-American factions described in this article and in much greater detail in my book.

It is difficult to understand how any American who understands the content of this document could even consider voting for a Democrat. Generational Democrats need to understand that the Democrat Party of John Kennedy and Harry Truman no longer exists.

In closing, the stranglehold of the current day Democrat Party and its high level allies and radical supporters is of such a magnitude that it must be recognized that time is short for correcting the course of our country before the damage is irreparable.
