Watched some Glenn Beck tonight, he read a blog post that was featured on Pravda, the once main newspaper of Communist Russia. That’s right, Communist Russia. It was a submission by someone named Matt Rodina, whom I discovered as having a blog I’d like to start following.
To spare you the awkward Russian advertisements on the website, I’ve just copied it here. I’ve taken the liberty of bolding my favorite points.
“It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent 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 then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing 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 then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then 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 then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar 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, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then 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 then a whimper to their masters.”
“Then came Barack Obama’s command that GM’s (General Motor) 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 then 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 “freeman” 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 Franks, 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 with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.”
That’s an outsider painting a pretty terrible picture of our current state. But we don’t hear this on the Today Show, or Good Morning America, or just about any other “credible” news outlet. Instead we have the very White House itself telling us that “things are looking up” while they continue to spend away our future. It won’t start looking up until they stop spending. And with GM’s bankruptcy announcement today, that doesn’t seem to be a plan anywhere in Barrack Obama’s future. Even Treasure Secretary Geihtner was laughed at at a conference in China when he told them Chinese investments are stable. No one but Washington DC takes us seriously anymore; Pride blind the foolish.
To end, I’ll repeat what I like to say. Pay your tithing, be where you’re supposed to be, do what you’re supposed to do. No power in earth or hell or any government can take your covenants away from you. God is in control, the riches of eternity are in His hands, they are His to give. (D&C 67:2) Stay focused on the real goal and we’ll all be okay.
My sister Calli is pretty impressive. Well, not to leave out my other siblings, they’re impressive too, but today Calli gets to be Queen. A few months ago Katie asked her if she wanted to do a Triathlon together, Calli agreed. Katie dropped out for some reason or another, but Calli was dedicated to the cause. She found a great road bike for cheap online, bought all the gear, started running and swimming and doing what you’re supposed to do to get ready for something like this. And today was the day.
Yesterday at 4:30 Mom, Dad, Calli and I high-tailed it down to St George so she could make registration, had a great dinner at the Pizza Factory and then went and settled down at the Best Western. For $9. Calli found an internet error in her favor and got a $90 room for $9. She called after she made the reservation to make sure, and it came out legit. The final receipt was $10.03 with tax. Nice.
As a side note, they offered 2 versions of this Triathlon. A Sprinter course which was 1/2 mile swim, 14 mile bike and 5K, and the Olympic which she did. This being her first Triathlon ever she of course opted for the Olympic course – was probably 1 of 2 or 3 at most that was doing a triathlon for the first time.
