After watching this election cycle, and the world at
large, I have several thoughts. Most of
these surround millennials and their view of the world. And perhaps the next older generation as
well.
With the beginning of the demolition of the Berlin
wall in the summer of 1990, most free people thought communism had finally been
defeated. And it seemed so, for a while.
In the last few years however, like a sleeping giant communism
seems to be awakening. Many people do
not realize that Russia’s current leader, Putin is an old KGB agent. One of the responsibilities of the KGB during
the 70’s was to provide security for, and guard the leadership of the communist
party. And now the man who knew the
atrocities of this time, is their leader.
What does this have to do with today? First, I don’t think this very dangerous part
of our history is known or remembered to a great extent. If so, I
believe people would completely disavow the democratic party and their
insatiability for State control. I
remember reading a magazine in the mid-80’s that noted since WWII the
population of our country had grown 150% while the government had grown about
900%. Why is this? The founding fathers were terrified of a
large central government. And by the
Constitution, it’s powers are supposed to be limited.
I doubt this is taught sufficiently in school anymore,
because if it had been, something happened on January 14th, 2014 that should have terrified the nation.
President Obama, frustrated with his inability to get
Congress to go along with his socialist programs, gave up on the rule of
law. He gave up on the enumerated powers
of the Constitution, He gave up on over 250 years of history, and uttered these
words,
“We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation in
order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help they
need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a
phone. And I can use that pen to sign
executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that
move the ball forward…”
This is not
how a president of a free nation speaks.
This is the speech of a dictator, or a king.
Aristotle stated there were 3 principle types of
governments that existed prior to the great American experiment in freedom, or
self-government. These were a monarchy,
aristocracy, and a polity.
A monarchy has a single ruler such as a king. An aristocracy is based on birth and
privilege, and a polity was kind of a loose democracy without any controls. The first two of these systems
concentrated all power in a single individual, or a small ruling class. And the third deteriorated
into mob rule due to a lack of controls.
Today in the world, we have Communism, Monarchy’s, Marxism,
and Socialism. Without going into detail,
these forms of government use what is known as command and control
economies. They have differences, but
they are slight.
And now to the millennials. A lot of them tend to be democratic in nature
as liberalism seems to be the mantra in most of our universities. In fact, many of the professors in
universities today were the hippies of the 60s! It is a "feel good" philosophy!
The more government programs we have, the less
freedoms we have. You see, the
government does not have an income. It
can only give something to person “A,” if it takes from person “B.” And the younger generations seem to think
this is all good.
Where does this deterioration end? If we do not stop and change course now, we
will lose what is left of our Constitution and slowly slide into a third world
society with ruthless dictators at our helm.
We are headed there now with President Obama’s statement quoted earlier.
Like the frog in the boiling pot, these
changes are happening slowly, so we don’t notice them. So, let’s jump ahead by going back in time to see how
command and control economies worked after WWII. And then see if this is the type of society
you want to live in! Following are a few
examples of what freedom deteriorates into;
“The existence
of the Soviet Republic side by side with imperialist states for a long time is
unthinkable. One or the other must
triumph in the end. And before that end
supervenes, a series of frightful collisions between the Soviet Republic and
the bourgeois states will be inevitable.”
V.I. Lenin, “Report of the central committee at the 8th party congress." 1919.
The history of the world, including now, is unending
war between freedom and slavery.

“Our
collaboration with capitalism during the war which has recently ended, by no
means signifies that we shall prolong our alliance with it in the future. On the contrary, the capitalistic forces
constitute our natural enemy despite the fact that they helped us to defeat
their most dangerous representative. It
may happen that we shall again decide to make use of their aid, but always with
the sole aim of accelerating their final ruin.”
Marshall Tito, Continental News Sevice Nov. 8, 1946.
We cannot trust communist societies even though we may
work with them.

“If the
situation is ripe for a popular uprising, in view of the fact that the
revolution in social relationships has already taken place, and if we have
prepared for it, we can order an uprising.”
V.I. Lenin, Selected works, Vol. III p. 298.
Black lives matter?
Riots in Ferguson? Civil uprisings?
We have found out these have been funded by less than honorable sources.

Speaking of the Bible, “A collection of fantastic legends without any scientific support.”
Russian dictionary under Christian Economics, Vol III,
No. 7. March 27, 1951.
Hillary Clinton saying the Catholics have to give up
their beliefs? Obama forcing Christian
doctors to do things that violate their beliefs through Obamacare?
**********
The Book of Revelation speaks of a great war in
Heaven. The issue was over agency and
how we were to be saved. Isaiah and Luke
speak of this.
ANYTHING that lends to God given freedoms is righteous. ANYTHING that would remove or shackle these
freedoms is evil.
The drive of Satan (communism, command and control economies,
whatever you want to call it) is to force all to be equally good and all the
same. The drive of God is to give us the
freedoms we need to become like him. A
great war was fought in Heaven over this.
Is the fight for freedom any less important now?
