We are fast approaching the general election, in November, here in the United States. For those of you outside the US, this is "The Big One". This is the election we hold every four years to decide the direction the United States will take for the next four years, at the very least. Every time one of these elections rolls around we bill it as the most important election … ever. And that is true. Every last one of these elections is, in fact, the most important election in the United States … EVER.
But this 2008 election could be the election that shuts down the greatest experiment in democracy ever to be tried in the history of this planet.
Why?
Because, this time around, Americans are deciding whether they wish to remain free, or, if they really wish to enslave themselves, and their neighbors, in the morass of soul rotting socialism. All indicators, at the moment, say that Americans are prepared to give up freedom, next month, for the false promise(s) of socialism.
Now, understand this: for those of us who pay attention to history and to world events… we have come to KNOW, deep down, where we live, that socialism equals slavery. You can parse it anyway you like… but in the end… we believe socialism and slavery are the same thing … at least the results of both are the same.
So… why are the masses trailing after the candidate many of us closely associate with socialism begging for anything from him, a glance, a raised eyebrow, a wave of the hand, maybe a touch … anything? The bottom line is: ignorance.
We have at least two generations of Americans who have been taught in America's public education system that socialism is a good thing. It is a fair thing. It is an equitable thing. Of course it is none of those, but, you see, in their ignorance they believe it is … and they want it! They're looking for handouts; they're looking for freebies from the government. That alone demonstrates their utter lack of knowledge about government, what it is and how it works. They don't understand, or they don't care, that the US government has no money of it's own. Which, of course, means that money must be taken from someone else to give to those with their hands out. The source of the money the government hands out is the American taxpayer. That's you and me, our neighbors, little business and big business.
In the socialist movement, in America today, there is a partition dividing the two classes within the movement. On one side of the partition are the pawns. They are the "needy" ones. The voters who want something from the government, such as socialized healthcare. The leftist candidate, and those clinging to him, as well as a large block of voters from the right side of the political spectrum make up the bulk of that division. On the opposite side of the partition are the "super elite" running this scam on the ignorant American voters amongst the vast American electorate, both left and right. The reach and influence of this "super elite" is so vast that it includes controlling political candidates so naïve they actually believe THEY (The candidates) are in control and will be in control should they actually win their respective elections. In fact, it is the "super elite" pulling the strings. The "super elite" are the manipulators. They are often referred to as "The Shadow Government".
The folks at the Constitution Society released a paper in 1994 entitled: "The Shadow Government". In the article they say the American people have come to take notice that government is no longer conducted as set forth in our constitution. They go on to say there is more and more evidence that things are much worse than most Americans believe. They say the constitution has effectively been tossed out, overthrown, and what's left of it is used as a façade behind which something called "The Shadow Government" operates deceiving and placating the American people. You can read this interesting article at:
Take a step back and look at the candidates we have running for President of the US today. How often have you asked yourself… "Is this the best my party could offer for the extremely important office of President of the United States?" I have certainly asked it of myself, and I'd venture a guess that you have, as well, both republican and democrat. Is it not obvious to you that something is amiss? We KNOW there are men and women far more qualified for president than those on the tickets of the Democratic and Republican parties. If you are honest with yourself, do you not, just a tiny bit, suspect a set-up? HAVE we been set up?
And why socialism? It's not difficult to understand, at all. Democracy, even the kind of democracy we have in this representative republic, just gets in the way of the super elite, "the shadow government". I am convinced they want it gone. In it's place they will install "Central Planning". Central planning is at the core of any socialist government. So… for the "powers that be" to be able to exercise unrestrained control they need socialism in America.
Government control of the financial markets is a must for central planning to be successful. Last week we gave the US government effective control of our financial markets. Do you see a pattern emerging here? (And I haven't even mentioned the ongoing efforts toward a North American Union.)
I think it is fair, even timely, to ask: Is this the last election? Honestly, I don't have the answer to that. Too much is yet unknown. But enough IS known and enough IS suspected that American voters, of a right, ought to be extremely concerned over the direction in which we are being herded like sheep. I, for one, resent it and I , for one, want my country back.
