The Star-Spangled Banner by Madison Rising

I know the Marxists controlling our government are whittling away the greatness of our once proud country. But the reason Marxists attempt to squash religion is because little things can cause a great deal of inspiration. And a little bit of inspiration can be a powerful thing. While America is being destroyed by idiots on the West Coast and the East Coast (and by a few in the middle) the fire of freedom has yet to be extinguished in a great deal of Americans. And America will never truly die if She resides in our hearts, regardless of where this country heads.

To that effect I offer you perhaps one of the best renditions of our National Anthem, performed by a rocking young band who's goal is to fan the flames of American patriotism. Facebook even tried blocking this band's videos, claiming it was just a "glitch" when enough people rose a stink. Now, thanks to Facebook's liberal tendencies, many more people have heard about this band and are sharing their songs. This is Madison Rising with a rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner that will bring a tear to any patriot's eye. Enjoy, and God bless the USA!

C'mon Baby, Eat the Rich!

By now you may have seen the video made for the California Federation of Teachers (is there any other kind?) entitled "Tax the Rich." This cartoon espouses the Marxist Class Warfare that has suddenly become normal in our country. The poor are poor because the rich have taken all their money. Not only is this cartoon hilariously inaccurate, it also uses stereotypes from, like, the 1920's. I haven't seen a fat rich guy with a monocle smoking a cigar since the last time I played Monopoly. And not really even then cause I played Lord of the Rings Monopoly. I also love that a cartoon teaching that the rich are evil is narrated by a rich guy. That's, dare I say it, rich! Here's the aforementioned cartoon.

I have to admit, I only watched like two minutes of that...but I caught the highlights on Red Eye last night, so I know what happens. I find it extremely humorous that two out of the three types of ways the rich got richer-by taking advantage of loop holes and by just not paying taxes-have been used by some of Obama's most lucrative backers. Yet Democrats don't want to close loopholes like some Republican plans call for. So why is it that the Republicans are seen as protecting the rich while the Democrats are seen as against the rich and for the poor?? I guess stereotypes are hard to break. While Obama spews his Marxist Class Warfare, the Political Class live like royalty. Get used to it. Socialism has never formed a one class system. The fat cats in the government, on both sides of the aisle, will always seek to remain the fat cats. Luckily for them, Socialism allows some to continue living the high life while the majority suffers. No wonder Boehner wants on the boat.

I also came across this video by Bill Whittle, which does a good job of explaining why the whole "Tax the Rich" battle cry is nothing more than Marxist drivel.

So there ya go, liberals. Good luck trying to explain why you want to tax the rich after seeing that. With a government that spends $11 for every $7 taken in...you could eat the rich and still not be able to run this government.

Crying Racism

When I was a kid, racism was a word that was rarely thrown around lightly. It had a serious meaning and was considered a serious topic. The election of the first black president was supposed to be another sign that racism was a thing of the past. Unfortunately, the first black president is a Marxist who's goal is to destroy the middle class. Race warfare is just another side of class warfare. The goal is to divide and conquer, and the Communists in D.C. are using any means necessary to do just that.

And so, racism has suddenly become the hot word. In 3 days, I've seen the words urban, Chicago, and incompetent now all mean racism, apparently. Susan Rice is only being questioned because she's black. And if you like the white meat of the turkey, you're a racist. It's as if all of the jokes made about racism have now become serious. Like when I'd be at Subway and ordered my sub on white bread and my black friend would say, "You racist!" and then we'd laugh about it. Now, people would actually consider me a racist for ordering white bread! I mean, seriously!?

Personally, I think that racism is one of the stupidest things on Earth. Judging a person based purely on a physical characteristic that they have no control over is absolutely moronic. Like the Irish guy in Gettysburg says, "Anyone who judges a people as a whole is a peewit. Men are each unique and you have to take 'em all one at a time." I couldn't have said it better!

However, now the people that are yelling "racist!" at every turn are doing the exact same thing. I just saw that Ken Burns recently said that the Tea Party and secessionists are racists. Has he sat down with every Tea Party member and secessionist? If not, than he is doing exactly what racists do. Judging a person you don't know based on one thing...hmm, that sounds like RACISM doesn't it?? And every TV personality, pundit, actor, or anyone else who is declaring this or that as a sign of racism is acting just as ignorantly as actual racists. And they are spreading just as much ignorance as actual racists do.

Now don't get me wrong, racism is a real thing. Minorities, especially blacks, have been discriminated against in the past and it's important to remember that in order to make sure that it never happens again. I have no problem with someone bringing up the idea that racism may have a part in something, so that it can be determined whether or not it actually does. But what I do have a problem with is the declaration that someone is a racist based simply on one thing or another. At this point, I don't even take the word seriously anymore. There was a time when, if called a racist, I would vehemently disagree and then state my facts. Now, I just accept it....much like I would accept someone calling me a hater of pickles. I enjoy pickles, but it's not such an important issue as to argue about. I'll just keep eating my pickles whilst you go on about how I hate pickles. The cry of racism has suddenly entered the same realm of importance as eating pickles. (Which is a sad state of society indeed!) So you go ahead and call me racist because I don't like Barack Obama's Marxist policies, support the Tea Party and idea of succession, and eat white meat at Thanksgiving...and I'll just keep on hanging out with my friends of a "minority race." Who, by the way, I judge by the content of their character and not the color of their skin...just like I do everyone.

Crying racism for everything is only going to end up like the boy who cried wolf...someday an actual racist is going to discriminate against a "minority" and no one is going to pay attention because the cry of racism is already getting old. So in essence, all these people crying racism for everything are doing is helping out the actual racists. Remember that for the next time someone calls you a racist for a completely inane reason, and enlighten them on how they are acting like, and helping, racists!

The new Cheka hard at work discrediting McCain

Earlier I wrote about the new Cheka and how their goal is the same as the original Cheka in Soviet Russia: silence the opposition. As I wrote, the new Cheka isn't a secret police force; instead it is the people themselves who have been indoctrinated with leftist/Marxist drivel since 6th grade. Well no group in America embodies the new Cheka quite as well as the media...who, over generations, have been bred to repeat leftist ideas instead of critically thinking up any of their own.

Today, the media Cheka are hard at work trying to silence anyone pointing a finger at President Obama or his woefully inept administration concerning the Benghazi massacre. The new object of their ire: Senator John McCain. McCain, already hated by the left for being a war hero (to them there is no such thing as a war hero; anyone involved in war is inherently evil), is now being viciously and repeatedly attacked by the talking heads in the media for questioning Susan Rice's involvement in the incident, her response to it (which turned out to be straight lies), and her part played in trying to obfuscate the facts. Rice, who may be in line to become the new Secretary of State once Hillary retires to focus on her presidential campaign, was the one who took her message of deceit to five morning talk shows 5 days after the Benghazi massacre. You'll remember, she said it was all caused by a protest gone wrong and that there was no proof that it was a premeditated attack.

Well now, Senator McCain, along with Sens. Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte, has said that he will filibuster Rice's nomination as Secretary of State until the Benghazi incident has been fully investigated in public hearings. McCain is calling for Watergate-style hearings into the White House's handling of the incident, including the decrease in security leading up to the attack and the lie about it all being a protest that was spread for two weeks after the attack (before they all agreed that it was indeed terrorism, and that is what they had said all along!).

This incursion into the Marxist regime plan has not been taken lightly by the new Cheka, and the media has responded in scathing, and somewhat predictable, fashion. They are now painting McCain as an Ahab-type figure, who, consumed with his loss to Obama in the 2008 election, is now taking any chance to try and "get back" at Obama. They are saying that his criticism of Susan Rice, as well as the whole Benghazi incident, is simply because he is a sore loser that just won't accept that he lost. Now I am not a huge fan of McCain, but this attack, being repeated at all levels of the media, is completely disingenuous and disgusting. (Not that I should expect different from the "state media.") First off, the Benghazi massacre is not just some "bump in the road," as Obama put it. It's a major, historical event. The death of an ambassador is nothing to sneeze at, and the idea that the death of 4 Americans is not really important is of such anathema to me that I feel that anyone making that case needs a good punch in the nose! I know in America today we are more concerned with who got voted off of Dancing with the Stars than anything that is happening in other parts of the world...and also that life is cheaper than once believed...and that if it doesn't affect me I shouldn't care. I do believe that is what is wrong with America today. A lot of people need punching in the nose!

But to attack John McCain as a sore loser 4 freaking years after he lost seems like a bit of a desperate measure! However, I do know that the American public will eat it up, as anything said on TV is taken as truth by most people who can't be bothered to come up with their own thoughts. This is why the new Cheka is winning in reshaping America into a socialist paradise, and why more and more Americans are becoming a part of the new Cheka. And as mentioned in my last post, this attack on a Republican is all part of the plan. The media are complicit in this plan, and this story is just one example of it. McCain, as well as other Republicans who continue to make trouble for the new Socialist Regime in Washington, will be phased out of the American consciousness over the next 4 years by a lying and traitorous media complex.

The Attack on the Bourgeoisie

1911 publication based on a flyer by the "Union of Russian Socialists"

In order to understand what is going on in America today, you need to understand Marxism. Our illustrious president is a bona fide Marxist, and therefore, his policies are as well. Today, there are report after report of business closings and layoffs. Millions are without work and yet, all we see indicates that more will be added to that list. Now that the [fraudulent] election is over, companies are, and will be, laying off more employees as Obamacare and tax hikes begin to go into effect. All of it spells bad news for America's economy. Most people realize this, which is why the Stock Market is tanking. Most people, however, don't realize why it's happening.

It's all part of the plan. The socialist plan, that is, laid out by Karl Marx. You see, according to the socialist, capitalism works like the pyramid above. The mass of people, otherwise known as the proletariat, are just used as the laborers. The proletariat work for the bourgeoisie, the upper-middle class who own the majority of the businesses. The bourgeoisie use the military, or police, force to keep the proletariat down. The religious also help keep the people down, as shown in the third level, because faith in God (called the opiate of the masses by Marx) encourages individualism. (If you have God on your side, you don't really need anyone else.) Finally, the rulers who reap the money from the bourgeoisie and clergy are at the top. All of these groups, according to Marx, keep the majority of people down and use their labors to get rich. Which, of course, is seen as the great injustice of capitalism. (Let's skip right past the part where, in a capitalist society, any one of the proletariat can start a business themselves with good ideas and hard work, thus joining the bourgeoisie in making more money.)

And so the goal of Socialism is to eliminate the levels of the pyramid that keep the proletariat down. To do that, the pyramid must collapse. The levels must all collapse down until there are only two left...the rulers and the proletariat. The goal is to eventually reach communism, where only one level exists and no one, not even the rulers, are better off than anyone else. (Let's also skip the fact that it has never and will never happen anywhere ever!) So in the eyes of the socialists, the upper-middle class majority of business owners are evil, and must be destroyed if the mass of people are ever to be free.

Look around America today. Who is being hurt most by all of Obama's policies? All across this country, business owners are struggling under the tax increases and regulations being imposed by the government. The super businesses will be fine, of course, but every other business owner in America is complaining about how hard the government is coming down on them. It's not by accident. It's all part of Obama's plan to crush the bourgeoisie. And not just business owners will suffer, but all Middle-Class America will, business or not. Because according to Marxism, the middle class is part of the bourgeoisie...and must be pushed back down into the proletariat for the good of the people. Is it any wonder people are saying Middle-Class America will suffer the most under Obama? After all, that is the plan of the Marxist.

Get used to it, America. The attack on the bourgeoisie has just begun....and it won't end until the middle-class is completely destroyed.

The new Cheka

"Bolshevik Freedom"

Shortly after the October Revolution of 1917 which formed the first Socialist Soviet Union in Russia, Vladimir Lenin created "The Whole-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage," or Cheka, for short. It was the first of a succession of Soviet state security organizations, initially formed to fight against counter-revolutionaries and saboteurs.

Cheka created 5 classifications that those counter-revolutionaries fell into:
1. any civil or military servicemen suspected of working for Imperial Russia;
2. families of officers-volunteers (including children);
3. all clergy;
4. workers and peasants who were under suspicion of not supporting the Soviet government;
5. any other person whose private property was valued at over 10,000 rubles.

At the direction of Lenin, the Cheka performed mass arrests, imprisonments, and executions of "enemies of the people". In this, the Cheka said that they targeted "class enemies" such as the bourgeoisie (the upper-middle class), and members of the clergy. The first organized mass repression began against the libertarians and socialists of Petrograd in April 1918. Over the next few months, 800 were arrested and shot without trial.
Within a month, the Cheka had extended its repression to all political opponents of the communist government, including anarchists and others on the left.

Many victims of Cheka repression were 'bourgeois hostages' rounded up and held in readiness for summary execution in reprisal for any alleged counter-revolutionary act. Lenin's dictum was: that it was better to arrest 100 innocent people rather than to risk one enemy going free. That ensured that wholesale, indiscriminate arrests became an integral part of the system.
The proceeding crackdown on all who opposed, or were accused of opposing, was given the name "Red Terror."

The stated purpose of the Red Terror was to eliminate counter-revolutionaries who belonged to former "ruling classes". Martin Latsis, chief of the Ukrainian Cheka, explained in the newspaper Red Terror:

"Do not look in the file of incriminating evidence to see whether or not the accused rose up against the Soviets with arms or words. Ask him instead to which class he belongs, what is his background, his education, his profession. These are the questions that will determine the fate of the accused. That is the meaning and essence of the Red Terror."

Grigory Zinoviev declared in mid-September 1918: "To overcome of our enemies we must have our own socialist militarism. We must carry along with us 90 million out of the 100 million of Soviet Russia's population. As for the rest, we have nothing to say to them. They must be annihilated."

In short, the Cheka was the power that forcefully attempted to stamp out all political opposition to the new communist government. They policed labor camps; ran the Gulag system; conducted requisitions of food; subjected political opponents to torture and summary execution; and put down rebellions and riots by workers or peasants, and mutinies in the desertion-plagued Red Army. During the Red Terror, they killed between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people.

In America today, our government is changing. We have elected and re-elected our first Marxist president. The same socialistic ideas that were established by Lenin in 1917 Russia are now beginning to be implemented here. The same ideologies of class warfare and uniting the poor against the rich are being spread by our leaders, just as they were by Lenin and the Soviet leaders of 1917. And just as in 1917, there are groups that oppose such socioeconomic changes. However, in today's world, a violent oppression of such opposition like the one instituted by the Russian Cheka would be immediately condemned...especially in a place such as America. Not saying that a future violent oppression won't happen here, but as of now, it would not be tolerated. And so, a new Cheka is needed in order to progress socialism here (and the rest of the "civilized" world).

In America, the Constitution makes suppression harder than in other parts of the world. The First Amendment protects against the type of censorship that was instituted by Lenin early into the Soviet reign that closed down all newspapers critical of the régime and prevented all state papers from writing anything derogatory about the government. The 2nd Amendment protects the people's right to own weapons, which makes violent suppression harder. Again, not saying that those won't be done away with in a future America, but as for now, they still stand to protect against government suppression to opposition.

But today a new Cheka has been formed. It is no longer a physical arm of the government, as it was in Russia. The American Cheka exists directly in the minds of the American people. It's quite brilliant actually. Instead of a quick revolution, like in Russia in 1917, the move towards socialism here in America has been a slow one. Ronald Reagan warned about it 40 years ago when he quoted the Socialist Party candidate Norman Thomas, saying, "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." The slow socialist revolution here in America has also slowly introduced the new Cheka. This new Cheka has been implanted into the very souls of Americans for the past 40 odd years. It started in the schools. The removal of God, prayer, and the Pledge of Allegiance from the public schools has since spread into all aspects of public life in America, slowly building the new Cheka. All aspects of opposition to the socialist movement have been weeded out of our minds over the past 40 years, and now there is a whole generation of people who have been groomed to be part of the new Cheka. It is no longer the government that wields the oppressive power for the "revolution;" it is the people themselves.


Let's revisit those classifications of counter-revolutionaries created by the original Russian Cheka.
1. Any civil or military servicemen suspected of working for Imperial Russia.

In today's America, the Justice Department has classified returning veterans as threats to national security, citing instances of soldiers traumatized by war having mental breakdowns and turning their weapons on the general public. While this occurrence happens rarely, the public has been warned to be wary of all military and ex-military personnel.

2. Families of officers-volunteers (including children).

Most military families (including children) support fully the military and those who are in it and, due to their inner knowledge of war and the importance of our military to our freedom, hold conservative values about patriotism, warfare, and the necessity of a strong and active military. Those ideas are today being labeled as "war-mongering" and a strong military is viewed as unnecessary.

3. All clergy.

Perhaps no other group of people has been as demonized in current America as has the "overtly religious." Organized religion has been deemed "old-fashioned" and even foolish in an ever increasingly secular society. Organized religions' stand against abortion and gay marriage has served as a rallying cry to label all who hold such beliefs as "intolerant extremists." In today's America, religious has become synonymous with intolerant, and so is mocked and railed against.

4. Workers and peasants who were under suspicion of not supporting the Soviet government.

In today's America, all people who are considered a certain social, ethnic, or economic group are expected to support one way of thought...today it's the Democrat way...all the time, no exceptions. With the advent of a black man as that Democrat, that perception is intensified. Any person of a minority race (or any woman) who supported Mitt Romney for President was vilified in the most vilest of ways.

5. Any other person whose private property was valued at over 10,000 rubles.

Barack Obama has introduced the class warfare of Marx to demonize the wealthy in America today. An increasing number of Americans want to "tax the wealthy" and movements such as Occupy Wall Street are instilling the idea that the rich are the problem. It reached such a frenzied point in the campaign season that Mitt Romney was being criticized for being a successful businessman.

The very same groups who were singled out as opponents to socialism in 1917 are being singled out today. The very same people who were targeted by the original Cheka are being targeted by the new Cheka. Although today, the new Cheka will not bust down your door in the middle of the night and haul you off to a gulag or shoot you. The new Cheka, cultivated in American minds for over 40 years, will oppress you verbally, mentally, and emotionally. The new Cheka lives under the mask of tolerance; it's why those claiming to be the most "tolerant" will lash out in the most intolerant manner towards anyone with a different view. It's because they are not really tolerant, they are the Cheka. The new Cheka has been raised in the minds of the populace; it IS the populace. The new Cheka does the same job as the old Cheka, they only do it in a more subtle manner. And they've disguised their true motive so well that the common person now in America is part of the Cheka. From celebrities to media to teachers and professors, the wave of the new Cheka has swept through the American people until it has overtaken the majority.

Now it does it's work, oppressing any who oppose the rise of socialism here in America. It will label you as racist, misogynistic, homophobic, backwoods, old-fashioned, unintelligent, foolish, Islamophobic, extremist, and any other derogatory name it can think of. It will seek to brand you as something so terrible that no one should ever listen to anything you say again. It will seek to silence you, to intimidate you, to isolate you, to abrogate you, to shut you up any way possible. It still follows Lenin's dictum. That's why anyone who would criticize President Obama is called a racist; it would rather label 100 innocent people as racists than let one person free to speak against it's rulers. Wholesale and indiscriminate targeting is still an integral part of the system. The new Cheka does the exact same job as the original Russian Cheka from 1917: to weed out and indiscriminately eliminate any political opposition. And just like Grigory Zinoviev said in 1918, it's goal is to carry the majority into socialism and annihilate the rest. Although this time it won't do it through the force of violence, it will do it through the force of the populace.
That is the new Cheka. This is the new Red Terror.
