The
irony of this article (below) appearing in the English edition of
Pravda (Russian on-line newspaper) defies description. Why can a
Russian newspaper print the following yet the American media
can't/won't see it? Check Snopes link at bottom.
American Capitalism Gone With (only) A Whimper (by
Stanislav Mishin - April 2009)
It must be said, that like the
breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening
with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless
sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been
well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past
twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy
Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll
over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money
Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and
used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of
their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed
down through a politicized and substandard education system based on
pop culture, rather than the classics. Americans know more about their
favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects their
lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds
burger or a Burger King burger than for their constitutional rights.
Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our
"democracy". Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was
destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different
"branches and denominations" were for the most part little more than
Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega
preachers were more than happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be
on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another.
Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the
"winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in
hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are
scandalously liberalized in America .
The final collapse has come with
the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has
been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a
record setting, not just in America 's short history but in the world.
If this keeps up for more than another year, and there is no sign that
it will not, America at best will resemble the Weimar Republic and at
worst Zimbabwe .
These past two weeks have been
the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned
redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who
used it to bankroll their thefts, losses, and swindles of hundreds of
billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more
than ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat
our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?
These men, of course, are not an
elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial
oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on
trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are
also usurping the rights, duties, and powers of the American congress
(parliament). Again, congress has put up little more than a whimper to
their masters.
Then came Barack Obama's command
that GM's (General Motors) president step down from leadership of his
company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free
markets, the American president now has the power, the self-given
power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private
companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his
minions.
So it should be no surprise,
that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of
declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will
now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the
guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance,
they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too.
Prime Minister Putin, less than two months ago, warned Obama and UK 's
Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster.
Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored
horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our
"wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.
Again, the American public has
taken this with barely a whimper...but a "free man" whimper.
So, should it be any surprise to
discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is
working on passing a new regulation that would give the American
Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate
performance, and control how private companies give out pay raises and
bonuses? Senator Barney Frank, a social pervert basking in his
homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American
societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is
not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a
virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses
that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it
is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any
company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.
The Russian owners of American
companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the
option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red
as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value
left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery without
a fight, beating his chest, and proclaiming to the world, how free he
really is. The world will only snicker.
