THE FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY, PART 4

This will be the last installment. I hope I’ve gotten somebody thinking a little more deeply about the present and coming crisis. The article presented below is about William Ayers, who was present and certainly influential in Barack Obama’s “formative years”.

Ayers is a truly dangerous person, as he has proven, but had Obama’s attention for quite some time. Some say he even launched Obama’s political career. While reading, see if you can find the similarities between Ayer’s ideas and those espoused by President Obama (and the resulting actions he’s taken). Of particular interest is how Ayers help shape our education system, which now produces imbecile brainwashed graduates, 50% of whom have a favorable view of socialism.

Stand back and take a look sometime, how far we have progressed toward socialism/communism. 128 million are getting money from the government. Our freedoms are being restricted more and more every day, dissent is crush. Obama is “fundamentally changing America”, one of Ayer’s primary goals. Bill Ayers must be proud of his pupil.

Good News: You May Be Spared Execution
By Daren Jonescu

Back in those quaint days when KGB-supported communist subversives planning to overthrow a republic had to meet in secret to discuss their operations, William Ayers and his chums reportedly opined that during the post-revolutionary period of normalization, approximately twenty-five million Americans (ten percent) would have to be executed. Today, however, I have good news: that number may now be reassessed at as low as ten million, which, when one factors in the increase in the overall American population since the original estimate was made, suggests as much as a seventy percent savings in the government’s stockpile of ammunition. There’s a spending reduction we can all applaud.

To refresh your memory, Mr. Ayers — now Dr. Ayers, of course — while a leader of the youth outreach program known as the Weather Underground, was asked by one of his cohorts, FBI informant Larry Grathwohl, about the contingencies of power should the group actually succeed in its revolutionary activities. Specifically, Grathwohl asked what might be done with that minority of the adult population that would continue to resist communism even after it had been so eloquently justified through the violent seizure of power.

The young Renaissance man — author of the brilliantly-reasoned dope fantasy Prairie Fire, and later of some prominent works on teaching social justice to toddlers, a comic book, and one Harvard Law graduate’s autobiography — deigned to answer Grathwohl’s question earnestly. “For those who continue to cling to their Bibles and their guns,” he said — oh, wait a minute, that was the Harvard Law graduate. What actually happened, according to Grathwohl, was this:

They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called the counter-revolution, and they felt that this counter-revolution could best be guarded against by creating and establishing re-education centers (FEMA camps?) in the southwest, where we would take all the people who needed to be re-educated into the new way of thinking….

I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people that we can’t re-educate, that are diehard capitalists?” And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated; and when I pursued this further they estimated that they would have to eliminate twenty-five million people in these re-education centers — and when I say “eliminate,” I mean kill; twenty-five million people…. And they were dead serious.

Well of course they were serious. They were young, naive, and idealistic. Communist revolutionaries must always eliminate people whose constitutions reject re-education. What else is one to do with them? After all, communists have no desire to play along with some multiparty democratic masquerade; theirs is not one view among many. Communism, to have any hope of surviving — given its inability to feed people — must become one contiguous plant, growing from firm roots. Needless to say, when one is trying to enforce universal moral conformity within a society, alternative voices must not be permitted. One dissenter makes for a fun afternoon’s hunting; twenty-five million, however, are a counter-revolutionary force. Elimination is unavoidable.

null

Now that those halcyon days of incognito living, clumsy bomb-making ventures, training junkets to Cuba and orgies in the back of a van have been left behind, a man such as Dr. Ayers is free to host campaign events for future presidents, to be named Chicago’s Citizen of the Year, and to be a professor of education at a distinguished university. And one does not grow up from idealistic advocate of mass extermination to respected professor — declared a “model scholar” by his colleagues — without having an epiphany or two.

Look again at Grathwohl’s account of that Weather Underground board meeting. For all the immediate appeal of wiping out the NRA membership or climate deniers, that exciting talk about “eliminating” millions of American citizens tends to obscure the Weatherpersons’ more fundamentally interesting idea, namely the establishment of re-education centers. Mass murder is quick and simple; mass indoctrination slow and complex. It is easy to see why the latter lacks the glamor of the former, and why both the prospective executioners and their intended victims are likely to become mesmerized by words like “eliminate” and “kill,” rather than focusing on the hundreds of millions who will not have to be killed, because they have been successfully re-educated.

So let’s play “Ginger or Mary Ann” for a moment, and ask ourselves whether, in the course of what the SDS radicals called “fundamentally transforming America” — oops, that was the Harvard Law graduate again — it is ultimately better to murder those capitalists who refuse to give up their property, Mao-style, or to indoctrinate them so effectively that they will give it up without resistance. Immediately, we see that these options are not purely contradictory. They are merely thesis and antithesis. All that is needed is a synthesis to resolve the apparent contradiction.

Since the goals of these two courses of action are essentially the same — namely, the eradication of private property and the universal acceptance of the governing authority’s right to control and distribute all material resources (including human resources) as it sees fit — it is clear that the mass killings are necessary merely in order to ensure universal acceptance by eliminating the failures of the re-education system.

At once, Ayers’ synthesizing epiphany arises. The traditional, time-honored pattern of leftist revolution — overthrow the regime, establish a re-education program, kill the bitter clingers — is a recipe for trouble and frustration. Much preferable would be a reordering of events to reduce the uncertainties of political overthrow and the wasteful inconveniences of mass murder. Re-educate first — “pre-educate,” if you will. Done well, this makes overthrow unnecessary, as the majority of the population will eventually hand you the reins of power when you ask for them; when your “social justice” rhetoric seems as American as apple pie, you will know the population is baked to progressive perfection.

Thus, the new formula: establish re-education centers first; wait until they have successfully reduced the number of potential “diehard capitalists”; then simply ask the re-educated to appoint and protect the communist rulers of their own accord, when they are all-too-willing to comply (Obama did win re-election).

Did William Ayers choose to become a professor of education because he thinks children are so cute? Because he wants to get America’s standards in core subjects back up to Asian levels? Because he hopes to keep America at the forefront of the modern global economy? Because he hopes to revive the study of the classics in America’s schools?

No; he is a professor of education — a teacher of teachers — because with maturity he realized, like the greatest of all progressive educators, John Dewey, that well begun is half done, i.e., that Occupy Kindergarten is the surest path to Occupy Washington.

And this brings us back to those twenty-five million diehard capitalists. The Weather Underground leadership made its calculations in the early 1970s. Three complete K-12 generations of progressive public schooling have passed since then. The educational establishment has progressed so far that the KGB-supported communist revolutionaries, who received training and funds from Cuba’s DGI, have been welcomed, first as honored guests (in lieu of a prison sentence), and finally as leading members of the establishment.

Now think hard, and honestly. Do you believe there are twenty-five million adults left in the United States today who are truly, intransigently committed to individual liberty on principle? And do not answer by citing voter turnout for Mitt Romney; people who want lower taxes, who believe the economy is handled better by Republicans, who disapprove of abortion or gay marriage, or who worry about over-regulation, all voted for Romney — but none of those views indicate a person who necessarily rejects the entire progressive worldview, let alone one who would actually die for something as antiquated and petty as individual freedom.

Let us look at it another way: the vast majority of those Romney voters have willingly sent their children to the Dewey-Ayers pre-education centers for years. These people tell themselves the system just needs better teacher training, more school prayer, or a tougher stance on bad behavior.

null

That “twenty-five million” figure is only really disturbing to people who suspect that they would be a part of it — that Bill Ayers, and the guys from his neighborhood, want to kill them.

These people should be happy to welcome reforms to the Marxist model that reduce the number of necessary victims. If I am correct, and public education has by now secured a much higher percentage of the U.S. population as the kind of well-adjusted, ultimately accommodating worker-units the revolution requires, then in all likelihood there are no more than, say, ten million American adults who truly care enough about life, liberty, or property to resist whatever confiscations, restrictions, or redistributions are judged appropriate by the most “forward”-looking Chicago/Washington experts and planners.

Those who continue to live on the Russian Roulette principle with regard to progressives and their recent proposals — “oh come on, surely they don’t mean it literally” — can take heart: your odds of survival are getting better, thanks to the effective strategy of pre-education camps. Progressives are only likely to have to eliminate one thirtieth of the population, rather than the one tenth they had previously thought.

So all you “conservatives”: keep your children in the public schools, by all means. It’s the least you can do to repay a system that, in exchange for your children’s souls, may deem it fit to spare your bodies.

At a pep rally back in the early days, Ayers’ comrade Jerry Rubin, of Youth International, told a group of students that “The first part of the Yippie program is to kill your parents. And I mean that quite literally, because until you’re ready to kill your parents, you’re not ready to change this country.”

Naturally, he meant it “quite literally” for everyone but himself. Be that as it may, the sentiment was quite progressive — indeed, literal or not, it sums up the essence of progressive social psychology in one pithy phrase. Being “ready to kill your parents” means hating the past, rejecting historical continuity, forsaking emotional attachments to pre-revolutionary ideas and habits, and boldly asserting your discovery of the ultimate answer, which is that all human history prior to us, “the ones we’ve been waiting for,” has been one big, racist, sexist, oppressive lie that deserves to be crushed, shot, torn apart, and mocked as it dies.

That sentiment is “literally” the primary thrust and intent of the public education establishment which has finally dismantled Western morality and insinuated itself into the highest reaches of Western politics. A society truly “ready to kill its parents” will no longer need to kill very many of them.

Thus it is that public education, the gift that keeps on giving, has helped to save or create fifteen million rounds of ammunition which, in spite of previous estimates, may no longer need to be used.

    Hollow man – very good question. I researched it the other day.

    In the entire history of executive orders, only 2 have ever been reversed. Both required rulings of the Supreme Court. One was the Supreme Court ruled in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 US 579 (1952) that Executive Order 10340 from President Harry S. Truman placing all steel mills in the country under federal control was invalid” and the other was when Clinton tried to prevent companies with strike-breakers from being awarded government contracts. Otherwise, EVERY SINGLE EXECUTIVE ORDER STANDS AS MADE.

    “Since the goals of these two courses of action are essentially the same — namely, the eradication of private property and the universal acceptance of the governing authority’s right to control and distribute all material resources”

    And this is where the “not a dimes worth of difference” between the two parties of collectivist cockroaches come into play via so called smart growth, public private partnerships, zoning, licenses to work, travel, build or even grow.
    The only fight between the two parties of prog-tards is ultimately which talon of the bird of perfidy gets to two wield the full force human capital…and therein lies the choice of the American vote.
    A choice between slavery or servitude…there is no other option.

    @AWD:

    The fed.gov is already a lost cause. These guys have managed to make Marxism/socialism pay, at least for them and their cronies. The rest of the country and its citizens be damned.

    All we can do is: 1) STOP paying income taxes, right now. Go to your employer and have yourself withheld at 5. For most of you, that means NO income taxes are deducted from your check. High income earners who give large amounts to charity do this all the time as, currently at least, you get a deduction for your charitable dollars. Don’t spend the money, file an extension in April, give them a token payment.

    2) Stock up on all the essentials of life that you can.

    3) Get your $$$$ out of the big (criminal) banks and start using your state based banks or credit unions.

    Clearly, there are enough of brain-dead idiots out there to re-elect Obama, despite the mountains of evidence of how EVIL he is, as well as a Greek Chorus to constantly sing his praises, plus the overt cheating at the polls by the Dems, that I doubt conservatives or Republicans will ever win another national election. So be it. Starve the national beast, support your RED state and local community – and be prepared to take this all the way.

    The feds CANNOT survive without our tax dollars, period.

    So… how long are you going to finance your own destruction?

    http://ncrenegade.com/editorial/a-time-to-kill/

    But I am a soldier, and I know what must be done; and so I shall put away my sadness and I shall harness up the bitter steed of war, and gird myself up for the battle; and I shall ride out to meet the enemies of Liberty; not in rage, not for anger sake or the hope of vengeance; but because I swore an oath before God, to jealously guard our Republic and its Constitution against all enemies; Him I shall not disappoint, for He is my Hope and my Trust.

    Therefore, as much as my soul laments against the harsh truth before me, I make this declaration to my enemies who press me into this battle, that none shall be able to afterwards say “I did not know, you did not warn me”;

    I do not care why you took that job with the government, or why you continue to hold it. I only know that you have become Judas and sold yourself to an oppressive state – your government office buildings and vehicles are part of the battlefield, and as a soldier I shall act accordingly.

    I do not care why, as a journalist, you choose to spin and corrupt the news, rather than report the plain truth and let the people judge for themselves. I only know that you have violated the public trust in the most vile and seditious manner, and thus your homes, offices, studios, vehicles, and any other place you may find yourself are part of the battlefield, and as a soldier I shall act accordingly.

    I do not care why you signed that union card. I only know that you pay dues to a communist organization which conducts treasonous works against my Republic daily – and so your union hall and your work-sites are part of the battlefield, and as a soldier I shall act accordingly.

    I do not care that you only voted for the traitor because you are elderly/disabled or otherwise dependent upon government largess. Are you so ignorant and/or disinterested that you could not see through their propaganda, to the fact that your sustenance was assured either way? What have you gained now that the public housing areas you live in, and the public facilities you depend on are part of the battlefield? Though I am a soldier, I can afford you little protection, for you have placed yourselves on the battlefield.

    sniper-fiftyI know that all of these places and all of these people are part of the battlefield ,not just because I am a soldier, and have experienced a few battlefields in my day; but also because our President declares that even our own homes are on the battlefield, whether we wish them to be or not, and I have no choice but to believe him; it’s not just that the NDAA passed – a battlefield is not defined by law; it’s the profound build-up of martial power and resources across my once-great nation which tells me a battle is being prepared here. Over two billion rounds of ammunition procured by DHS and its sub-agencies in the past 18 months, plus machine guns in the tens of thousands, armored vehicles, combat aircraft, drones, and other implements of war being staged throughout our nation, our home – how do you explain that except as the preparation for battle?

    Private-AI will fight not because I desire it, but because I cannot justify any other course of action – when the enemy attacks, you must fight – you must kill or you will die.

    I smell you, my enemy; I can feel the ambush you have laid for me and my true countrymen, all about like a sticky spider’s web, yet we will not back down, and though you will kill some of us, you will not get us all before we have finished with you.

    I stand here, ready, on the eve of battle, and I ask God why I have been brough to the threshold of this battlefield, about to be thrust in, when I though my soldiering days were through; and I am reminded that there is by His decree, a Time to Kill, as well as a Time to Die… who am I to question why?

    Karl_Marx_Terror_Quote.jpg

    Back in 1918, in the times of Lenin’s Red Terror, head of the Communist International, Grigory Zinoviev, issued this pronouncement:

    “To overcome 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.”

    Quite ironically, Zinoviev himself was later purged and executed in 1936.

    Unlike his followers, the father of Communism, Karl Marx, was lucky to die peacefully in his bed — but not before he wrote: “There is only one way to shorten and ease the convulsions of the old society and the bloody birth pangs of the new — revolutionary terror.”

    Bill_Ayers_Kill_Quote.jpg

    Perhaps the most ironic historical mind-bender of all is found in the United States, where history was much kinder to communist rebels. In the 1960s, the leader of the KGB-supported communist terrorist group Weather Underground, Bill Ayers, repeated Zinoviev’s idea of annihilating ten percent of the population — 25 million Americans — so as to advance the revolution in the United States.

    Bill Ayers Kill QuoteAyers summed up the ideology of his movement as follows: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents.” Unlike his Soviet role models, however, this communist didn’t have to leave the country or suffer any discomfort. Supported by the left-dominated academic establishment, Ayers became a prominent member of and later vice president for curriculum studies at the American Educational Research Association (AERA), exerting great influence over what is taught in America’s teacher-training colleges and, through indoctrination of a generation of teachers, its public schools.

    According to this must-read article by Daren Jonescu, Ayers simply altered his strategy, replacing annihilation with re-education — or, rather, pre-education, thus reducing the number of potential targets. Since then, “the educational establishment has progressed so far that the KGB-supported communist revolutionaries, who received training and funds from Cuba’s DGI, have been welcomed, first as honored guests (in lieu of a prison sentence), and finally as leading members of the establishment.”

    For many years now, the “imperialist” America was being quietly transformed, under our noses, into a socialist country through mind conditioning of at least three complete K-12 generations of public school students. USSR is dead, long live the USSA.

    Thanks for the contributions to the post Flash. I suspected Billy and Baracky were butt buddies.

    The Neoliberal Financial Skim

    If the Status Quo is ultimately a distribution system, as correspondent Simon H. proposes, then we should focus our attention on the inordinate share of the system’s profits being distributed to the financial sector. Frequent contributor B.C. has ably captured this perfection of Neoliberal economic order in five charts.

    The essence of neoliberalism is that a liberalized financial sector will efficiently regulate itself via market mechanisms and make more profitable use of capital than either the State or the non-financial sectors of the economy. This is the classic theory, but in practice the Neoliberal financial sector is the ultimate perfection of cronyism and political corruption, as the Central Bank and State protect the financial sector’s vast skim of the national income with a combination of toothless regulations and regulations that are only enforced for purposes of percetpion management (see Soviet Show Trials).

    When the aforementioned benign neglect is insufficient to divert the national income to the parasitic finance-rentier sector, then the Central Bank and State actively transfer taxpayer monies to the financial sector via tax breaks, loopholes, and massive direct and indirect subsidies.

    Section 8 housing voucher distribution canceled after thousands waiting in line get out of control

    TAYLOR, Mich. (WXYZ) –

    A chaotic scene erupted at the Taylor Human Services Center when the crowd waiting for a Section 8 housing voucher distribution got out of control.

    Police say thousands of people from all over the area were at the center. Many were homeless, single moms, or disabled. They were hoping to get help paying for their housing from the government.

    “There was elderly, disabled people, pregnant single women. They were here for help, to get their Section 8 vouchers. It just shows you what a desperate need… some were here since yesterday,” said Rhianna Rodriguez.

    7 Action News is being told there were 1,000 vouchers available and 5,000 people showed up trying to get one.

    The crowd had grown overnight as more and more people arrived. Witnesses say the line stretched for a mile down Lange Road.

    Police say, when the time came for the vouchers to be distributed, there was a mad rush for the door. Officers tried to control the crowd, but couldn’t.

    Officers had to shut down several lanes of Eureka Road until the situation could be brought under control. The road is now reopened.

    Several people were arrested. The rest were sent home. Today’s distribution has been canceled and will be rescheduled.

    “There was a lady with an oxygen tank. She was elderly. When they told everybody they had to go home and they weren’t going to help, she was in tears,” said Rodriguez.

    @AWD: You know what is really so terrifying about your post of 2:35?

    Those folks were rioting for benefits they had NOT YET RECEIVED.

    Perhaps some were your usual welfare cheats and thugs, but I am sure there were some truly needy people there. This kind of story is going to harden out hearts against the truly needy, sadly.

    Guess what’s gonna happen when ONGOING “benefits” stop flowing……..

    I suppose you’re right. But anybody that can stand in line outside overnight for free shit could probably be working.

    Oh, and it is terrifying; 5000 people show up out of nowhere and start a riot to get free shit. What’s it gonna look like when 128 million people start rioting when they don’t get their free shit?

    The future is bright now that The liberal democrat socialist party is driving the bus of State! When will we reach Utopia? It’s just over the next hill…

    Americans Buy Enough Guns in Last Two Months to Outfit the Entire Chinese and Indian Armies

    Honest Americans Bought Enough Guns in November and December to Outfit the Entire Chinese and Indian Armies

    The Obama Administration is the number one threat to the nation’s gun rights advocates. In the four years since Barack Obama was first elected president in November 2008, an estimated 67 million firearms have been purchased in the United States. In November a record 2 million guns were sold in America. This was followed up by another record in December. 2.7 million guns were sold in America in the last month of 2012.

    FBI.gov

    To put this in perspective.
    Chinese and Indian Standing Army Numbers:

    China

    - There are 2.29 active members in the Chinese Army.

    India

    - There are 1.13 active members in the Indian Army.

    There were enough guns sold in the US in November and December to outfit each active member of the Chinese and Indian armies with a brand new gun.

    …..And Obama and the criminals in Washington are much more of threat to the U.S. than India or China.
