The Rise of Democratic Socialism

Leave a comment

Kimberley A. Strassel

Columnist, The Wall Street Journal

My recent article ‘The Evolution of Communism in America‘ talks about the history of Marxism in America and where we are today regarding the march to communism. My approach was to show what goals were set for America and what has been accomplished over the last several decades. And to show what the Democratic Socialists of America have planned for us today.

Of special note, the goal of most impact today is goal 15 — “Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States“. The level of success of this goal should be obvious by now. If not, consider that a resolution was submitted in congress a year ago stating that communism is a direct threat to our country, that it is in direct opposition to our constitution, and must not be considered viable for this country. 96 democrat congressmen out of the entire House voted that it wasn’t.

Strassel’s report is a very well written article published at Hillsdale College and distributed on their Imprimis platform. I encourage you to read it, as it is a different approach, informative, and isn’t a repeat of what I have already written. This topic is, in my opinion the most important of this century. We are at a pivotal point in our country’s history, and not just because this year is the 250th anniversary.

Her report starts here.

Of the many alarming statements uttered this past year by America’s rising tide of “democratic” socialists, pay closest attention to the one that landed in early August, via the godfather of this modern movement, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.Democratic political strategist James Carville had criticized Hasan Piker, the socialist provocateur who claims that “America deserved 9/11,” that the terrorist group Hamas is “a thousand times better” than Israel, that communist Mao Zedong (whose policies killed 65 million Chinese) is “one of the great leaders of this world,” and that his critics are “rabid, ultra-Zionist pigs.” Carville made clear: “I have no intention of ever being in the same political party with [Piker],” adding that he believed “an overwhelming majority of Democrats agree with me.”

Sanders shot back: “If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party, the party I belong to, that Piker, that [Michigan’s socialist-aligned Democratic Senate candidate] El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party.”

The “my party” construction is striking, given that Sanders has long expressed contempt for both our major political parties, disparaging them as captured interests. Since his first successful election in 1981, he has styled himself a “democratic socialist” and run as an Independent on the Vermont ballot. He’s endured the Democratic Party only to the extent that it allowed him to leverage its resources to his advantage—caucusing with it in the Senate to gain seniority and using it as a platform for his presidential runs. Always while holding his nose.

But things have clearly changed. Sanders is done raging against the machines. His goal now is to own and operate one of them. His growing army of democratic socialists are working to capture the Democratic Party from within, replace its agenda with their own, and purge it of dissenters. It’s a time-worn tactic: if you can’t beat them, infiltrate them. And the elected leadership of the Democratic Party is doing nothing to stop the takeover.

Before we can address the rise of the democratic socialists, we need to clarify what it is that is rising. That’s made harder by an education system that has left generations of Americans poorly equipped to recognize socialism, and by a liberal media and left-wing political establishment that are determined to play down today’s threat.

Socialism has come in many forms through history and has seemingly infinite definitions. But simply put, it’s a system based on collective or government ownership of goods and services, as opposed to private ownership or markets. It’s animated by class warfare, the claim that the “workers” in a society are kept down and exploited by wealthy, powerful forces, and that only the forced seizure and redistribution of capital will produce a more egalitarian and just society.

Its other defining feature? It always fails, usually horrifically. Historians generally agree there have been more than two dozen major national attempts at socialism, all of which ended in tyranny and economic collapse. This dismal history has inspired advocates over the ages to produce new “versions” of socialism, ones they insist will finally produce magic. Karl Marx wrote off the earliest, failed communes as “utopian socialism” and contrasted it with his own “scientific socialism.” The world has also seen “anarcho-socialism,” “market socialism,” “ujamaa socialism,” and “goulash communism.” And untold deaths.

The modern twist is democratic socialism. Its proponents chose that descriptor with care. They know socialism’s authoritarian history, and they know how deeply Americans still hold to the Constitution. Their goal with that adjective is to fool us into believing that this version of socialism really is different, that it is no threat, that it can in fact be achieved through democratic means.

Sanders is a master at cloaking his ideology in soothing geographical or historical comparisons. He has a decades-long track record of refusing to provide a precise definition of his ideology, preferring to suggest that democratic socialism is some vague version of European “social democracy,” or nothing more than “completing the vision” of FDR’s New Deal. Similarly, New York City’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani argues that Democrats are just “going back to what the party used to be.” And New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is quoted in The New York Times as saying that she thinks it is totally “possible”—somehow—for capitalism and socialism to coexist.

These assurances are hard to square with the socialists’ proposals. Sanders, when he was active in the Liberty Union Party in the 1970s, argued for government ownership of the energy, banking, telephone, electricity, and drug industries—to name a few. After failing spectacularly to get elected four times in a row, he toned down his rhetoric. But there’s no reason to believe he’s changed his stripes, especially as he continues to demand the nationalization of select sectors, including health care and artificial intelligence. He has also called for a 100 percent marginal income tax on higher earners in order to fund cradle-to-grave government services, including medical care, housing, childcare, education, Internet, and meals.

This is government seizure and ownership of wealth and industry to facilitate government redistribution of goods and services. In a word, socialism.

Better yet, read the DSA’s 2026 manifesto, which has no time for Sanders’ nuance in laying out its overriding ambition: for the “working class” to rise up and create “a future without capitalism.” No one will have “bills,” because “food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation” will be “common goods and utilities.” The future it foresees will also include “fully abolishing the police and prison system”; “queer liberation”; enacting “reparations”; abolishing the Department of War; ending “all military and economic aid to Israel”; and legalizing “migration.”

What about the claim to be democratic? The DSA platform explains that the glorious uprising will require a few tweaks to the U.S. democratic system. First up is abolishing the Electoral College and the Senate. Second the DSA would “replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to” one supreme people’s (soviet?) congress. That congress would be dominated by blue states under strict proportional representation—a form of representation, seen in parts of Europe, that is foreign to America’s constitutional tradition. No more checks and balances. No more federalism. No more republic.

Released in August, this platform caused a number of DSA-aligned candidates to scurry away, saying they didn’t agree with all its provisions. But its publication had the merit of clearing things up. Regardless of the “democratic” spin, the U.S. is facing its largest resurgence of socialism since the early twentieth century. Only this time, it isn’t labor leader Eugene Debs making his 1912 run as a member of an outsider third party. This is a socialist movement that is well on its way to capturing one of our major parties.

***

Democratic socialists were elected as mayors of New York City and Seattle last year, and Washington, D.C. voters are all but certain to elect a DSA-endorsed mayor this year. Socialist insurgents have won U.S. House of Representative primaries in New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Michigan. In November, socialist-aligned candidates will be running as Democrats for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, Minnesota, and Maine.

The DSA points to dozens more 2026 primary victories in state legislative races, as well as city council and school board contests, from Vermont to California. Its goal is to swell the number of DSA members who serve in elected offices—more than 250 across 40 states in 2025. Fifteen years ago, the party had about 6,000 dues-paying members. The DSA today boasts more than 120,000 dues-paying members, via some 220 chapters nationally. That means the DSA can claim an even greater following than that of Debs, who led the Socialist Party of America to its peak of about 113,000 dues-paying members a century ago.

None of this is sudden. It’s the work of many years. Sanders’ 2016 presidential run thrust democratic socialism into the mainstream. The Vermonter was open and unapologetic about his decision to run as a Democrat. He didn’t want to be marginalized as a third-party candidate, and so he used the Democratic Party ticket to legitimize his socialist approach. Although Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton, he accomplished his aim of attracting a new, impressionable generation to his cause—and encouraging them by example to seize power from within.

This isn’t a new strategy. Stand-alone socialist parties have always found it difficult to go mainstream. (Debs finished fourth in 1912, with six percent of the popular vote.) Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky’s prescribed solution was a tactic he called “entryism,” which meant infiltrating larger movements, converting followers, taking charge of power centers, and then altering policies to the left. A famous example was the group Militant Tendency, which operated for a long time within Britain’s Labour Party before being thwarted by Labour Leader Neil Kinnock.

Ocasio-Cortez and Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib were elected to Congress as Democrats in 2018, though both call themselves democratic socialists. They were followed by Representatives Cori Bush of Missouri, Jamaal Bowman of New York, Shri Thanedar of Michigan, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, and Greg Casar of Texas. But these were just the highly public positions. Behind the scenes, the DSA began to grow its ranks within the Democratic National Committee and has swelled its members in state political parties. This coincided with a sharp leftward jump in the Democratic Party caucus as a whole.

Sanders further turbocharged the movement by running again as a Democrat in 2020, putting enormous leftward pressure on the entire primary field. When Joe Biden ultimately won, it was thanks to a comeback at the hands of more moderate voters. But his first act was to adopt most of Sanders’ agenda. His ensuing term as president was defined by an effort to pass $6 trillion in tax hikes and spending, “equity” policies, a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, an intentional collapse of border security, censorship of opposition views, and an unconstitutional effort to erase student debt. An agenda the DSA could fully endorse.

***

Following their party’s drubbing in the 2024 election, Democratic leaders seemed to understand that they needed to ditch far-left politics. Humbled politicians worried openly about spending-caused inflation, “cultural disconnect,” and the party’s new antisemitic streak.

Yet that same leadership remained terrified of the radical base, and the DSA crowd took full and cynical advantage. Sanders and his team began recruiting socialist candidates to run in primaries, intending to pick off sitting members of Congress in the 2026 season. Ocasio-Cortez dropped not-so-subtle hints that she’d challenge Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer in a primary if he didn’t back their agenda. Far left and socialist members used their influence within the Democratic National Committee to undermine any effort to moderate the party’s platform. Outside groups mobilized to pressure existing Democrats to stay true to DSA policies.

Today, the Democratic Party establishment stands in paralysis. Centrist Democratic groups continue to produce new ideas that the party might use to win back average voters. But leaders won’t touch them for fear of upsetting the socialists. The party center has retreated to a “resist Trump” agenda, the only cry it still feels is safe to float across all constituencies.

The DSA is aware that Americans as a whole are in an anti-incumbent mood and that the Democratic electorate is fed up with an ancient party apparatus. The DSA has endorsed more than 170 candidates this primary season, most of them young and energetic. While their ideas might be socialist, damaging, and crazy, they are at least ideas—for free, free, free everything. That’s more than a stupefied Democratic establishment is offering.

Republicans take comfort in evidence that DSA-aligned members still face rough waters in swing states. Which is true. But no one who understands the danger of socialism should be much comforted. There are an estimated 192 solidly Democratic districts in this country. And the DSA strategy is clear. Primaries are low turnout—often involving just 10 to 30 percent of the party. But they feature the most dedicated (and radical) voters. The DSA will continue to nominate candidates of the Mamdani type. Once those candidates win a primary, they are shoo-ins to win a general election since these are heavily gerrymandered Democratic districts. This is the method by which the DSA will take control of the House and grow its ranks in the Senate. And it means socialists will be calling the shots when Democrats next take the White House or Congress.

***

Which raises two final questions: Why are Americans voting for socialism, and why now? The answer to both questions has to do with education.

For all the DSA’s tripe about “working” Americans, it’s a movement comprised almost entirely of young, white, privileged Americans. Statewide socialist candidates in Michigan and Wisconsin had their highest margins in college towns. A Fox News survey in Michigan found that only 75 percent of black Democratic voters intend to vote for the socialist-aligned U.S. Senate candidate, who is also underperforming among women, independents, and suburban and older voters. Socialism is largely a youth movement.

Economist Friedrich Hayek once quipped: “If socialists understood economics, they wouldn’t be socialists.” And indeed, as business professor Kimberlee Josephson wrote recently in The Wall Street Journal, a poor economy doesn’t explain the fascination of young Americans today with socialism. What explains it is that on today’s campuses—especially those of the “wealthiest and most selective” universities—students are living in (fake) socialist utopias: “climbing walls and lazy rivers,” “lofts with expansive lounges,” “campus coffee bars with national brands.” Kids ride buses without paying fares; they “attend concerts, meet career coaches, reserve study rooms, download software, join student organizations, and participate in countless campus activities without ever reaching for a wallet.” Others are paying the bills, of course; the students just don’t know it. And why should real life be any different?

Too few of our K-12 schools, colleges, and universities teach real history or civics any longer. We fret constantly about our falling math and reading scores, and we should. But a nation that does not teach successive generations about the differences between capitalism, socialism, and fascism, or about the horrifying carnage of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Hoxha, Ceausescu, and Tito, or about the basics of personal finance and business, is a nation defenseless against the pull of fantasy ideologies.

We can do better. Go online, right now, and look up the “1912 Eighth-Grade Examination for Bullitt County [Kentucky] Schools,” which is maintained online by the Bullitt County History Museum. This is the knowledge we once expected of our 13- and 14-year-olds—most of whom were, with this exam, finishing their education and embarking on adulthood. Look at the questions these young Americans were able to answer—especially those in geography, civil government, and history.

That exam is a one-document explanation for why our country faces a socialist threat today—and a one-document roadmap for what we need to do to fix it.

The Evolution of Communism in America

A Brief History Leading to America’s Attack

10/03/2026 – 6:00pm

Marxism started with Karl Marx’s manifesto (co-authored with Friedrich Engels) The Communist Manifesto (1848).  Marx and Engels worked on perfecting Marx’s plan for several years (until Marx’s death – 1883).  Engels was Marx’s financial support the entire time they were together because Marx never had a job.  (He did in fact come from a wealthy family, but his father did not support Marx’s ‘grand endeavor’.)  Instead, Marx let his children live in squalor and starve to death shortly followed by his wife dying of starvation also.

Lenin, Stalin, Mao, et al carried the ball for Marx creating Russian and Chinese countries. They also managed to murder over 100,000,000 of their own people in the process.

Communists believe that you cannot convert a country to communism without a revolution.  The stages are: work underground as long as possible; when support (typically radicals) are sufficient, then create chaos in the streets and turn up the heat until everyone is ready to fight.  Then, when people realize their country is in trouble, they will do anything to stop the ‘pain’.  This means that communist success is done and there’s only ‘clean-up to do’ in order to have complete control of millions of people.

Antonio Gramsci, an Italian immigrant, however developed a slightly different philosophy – ‘Cultural Communism’.  His approach was extremely different from Marx.  His plan was also to work underground, but not to create chaos.  His plan was to erode the values, beliefs, and culture of the target country. 

Example: Attack the common elements of the society; Create disbelief in everything to confuse the public; Infiltrate government and gain access to powerful departments to control and gain power; Create a new immoral set of values in everyone possible; Destroy the family nucleus causing divorce and children with little or no guidance; and lastly, impact as many other elements of society as possible.

The result of Gramsci’s approach was a slower ‘decay’ of society where no one trusted anyone and there was no standard for anything.  Groups of people (races) and any other way of separating people was the objective just as long as there was no agreement on what was right, fair, or just.  Does this sound similar to America’s situation today?

Marx, Gramsci, et al died decades ago.  But evil still survived in the world.  Nikita Khrushchev was the leader of Russia during the Cold War (1950’s).  He made a statement regarding the U.S. that Russia would destroy the U.S. without firing a shot.  It should be obvious that Gramsci’s plan was a success in the U.S. because of the things done to the U.S. for decades – and continue to escalate today.

The Communist Goals for America

I first learned of the communist goals for America by reading the book “The Naked Communist” written by Cleon Skousen.

Before we go to deep into the goals, it is important to really know who Skousen was during the 1930’s – You’ll see why further down this article. 

Cleon wrote several books of deep thought and value.  E.g., Six-Day War, New World Order conspiracies, The Five Thousand Year Leap, and The Naked Communist.  Like most young men he had to find his niche in the world.  He went to school to become a lawyer, graduated, and passed the Bar.  After a few less important positions, he was hired by the FBI to be a clerk.  But he didn’t stay there long.  He rose to the rank of Special Agent rapidly and began leading a team of agents to investigate communists inside the U.S.

During the 1950’s communism started to catch on (underground).  After a short time, Cleon got noticed by his boss J. Edgar Hoover who was impressed with him.  From then on, Cleon and Hoover were on a first name basis which really got the attention of the other investigators. 

To summarize, Cleon stayed with the FBI for 16 years as a Special Agent and took time to write his book “The Naked Communist” while still working at the FBI.  He wrote the book to educate the American people on what was going on right under their nose.  But it took awhile for the subject to really catch on in the news.  The American public had trouble believing communists could be in America.  But soon things began to catch on very quick due to McCarthy coming on scene.

Once the topic became popular in our society, that led to the ‘McCarthy era’.  Joseph R. McCarthy was a U.S. Senator during the 1950’s.  He began to investigate a lot of people who were involved in communist activity and plots, etc.  Even Hollywood got in the act.  A Hollywood producer turned out to be a communist member and was tried for treason, but it didn’t stick.  However, this activity continued to raise awareness.

In 1963 Clean Skousen wrote his book – “The Naked Communist” – which after the second publishing, a U.S. Senator learned of a Mrs. Patricia Nordman of Florida.  She published the De Land Courier which was dedicated to alerting the public of the danger of communism.  At the request of Senator Herlong (Florida), she read the “Communist Goals for America” into the Congressional Record in congress which was documented for posterity.  (Goals listed in appendix dated January, 1963 pages A34 and A35.) 

These 45 goals of the communist party (in Russia) were designed to destroy our culture.  If you read them, start with the yellow text flagged on page A34. It is suggested that you read them after finishing reading this complete article. It’s not that they’re a long read, but require some thought while doing so.

Note: It took a call to the congressional library and begging on my part to get this information! To my knowledge these pages aren’t accessible anywhere else. I’ve searched relentlessly with no success.

These goals reflect a massive onslaught of people taking action over decades involving almost every area of our lives worth caring about – particularly our freedom!  It is highly recommended that you read them.  Although not all of them are related to today, 90%+ are, and that 90% +‘ are all done’!

Note:  If you have trouble reading the images above, you can Google ‘Communist goals for America’ and you’ll get several listed. Others who couldn’t get the actual document pages merely copied them. But from what I’ve seen, they are all accurate.

2007 Presidential Election

During the election process in 2007, Barack Obama made a historical quote:  “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming America”.  In general, the public had no idea what that meant, but everyone cheered wildly!  But anyone with any knowledge of Obama’s background knew that his quote meant something very ominous.

I however, having read Marx’s manifesto, knew very well what he meant – to fundamentally transform America into a socialist state and ultimately to communism.  That, in my opinion, is where the acceleration of communist activity began to move very fast. 

The Biden Era

These were the dark days to anyone who had clear thinking – but it became clearer than ever in my life how dark a political party could get.  If you read the articles under the category of ‘communism’ on this site, you’ll find several articles talking about things that happened of a very dark nature related to communism in our history.

The darkest of those articles (to me) was the Afghanistan retreat.  You can get to it via this link.

Fortunately, Biden is now eating ice cream somewhere and not making life and death decisions. 

The Trump-#2 Era

Trump’s second term has been a flurry of positive actions by the presidential branch and exceeds expectations for all other presidencies. His accomplishments in the last two years have been exemplary of the commitment he has demonstrated for getting America back in the positive limelight.

America isn’t just another country.  It is the world’s leader.  Not because we want it to be, but because the world wants it to be!  Without America setting standards, what country stands out as even a close second in the world?  Russia?  China? 

This season, right now, is one of the most important times in our history.  Why?  1 – Because of years of Gramsci activities eroding our society’s values.  2 – Because the communists have now ‘come out’ and are declaring their leadership.  “We shall do what they want.”  Everyone will get free groceries, cheap gas, low-cost medical care, a chicken in every pot, and whatever other nonsense they can think of.

And who will pay for all of this great change?  YOU!  Yes, anyone with some money will be paying for everything.  i.e., “Take from the rich, and give to the poor!”  Except the real target is the middle class which isn’t rich.  (50% of all businesses are small ones which are created by middle-class people!)  They’re taxed to death with less discretionary money every year.  Which is part of the communist great ‘plan’.

Look at New York and ask yourself, “Do I want to live there?”  A normal person would say, “absolutely not!”.  Why?  Mayor Mamdani’s plan is falling apart and it’s only a few months old.  He is destroying that city.  But I say, “Yes’!  Help yourself to a city that has been trying to destroy itself for a long time.”  (Sorry, Mr. Giuliani not you.)  High taxes seem to be a way of life there. 

Why would I have such an opinion?  Because Mamdani will demonstrate to the country what could happen to their city! I’m glad the communists are coming out. Hopefully the less informed will finally catch on that they are in danger of having an even worse life with a Marxist-Islamist making decisions for them. I am also very happy that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are documenting their goals.

DSA — “What We Fight For”

  • Expand public resources for recreation, learning, and social spaces;
  • paid family leave;
  • A 32-hour work week with full pay and benefits;
  • A living minimum wage;
  • Free public education from pre-K to college;
  • Cancel all student debt.
  • Guarantee universal healthcare at no cost to individuals, including reproductive and gender-affirming care; expand public hospitals and clinics; make medical education and training public and free.
  • Housing is a human right; build publicly owned social housing; regulate investment properties; universal rent control; right to counsel for all tenants.
  • End the legacies of slavery and colonialism; reinforce anti-discrimination laws; honor treaties and tribal sovereignty; enact reparations; invest in jobs, housing and infrastructure in neglected minority communities.
  • Demilitarize police departments; disempower police unions; redirect funding to public services; fully abolish the police and prison system; treat drug addiction and mental illness as health issues, not crimes; end qualified immunity; empower civilian police oversight.
  • Socialist feminism; queer liberation; stop gender violence; end restrictions on abortion, childbirth, childraising, gender expression and transition, marriage and divorce; ban sex discrimination; support and fairly compensate care work.
  • Federal jobs guarantee; massive investment in sustainable, publicly owned energy and transit; phase out fossil fuels; reclaim and repair the earth’s resources.
  • Defund the Department of War; end all foreign wars; close overseas military bases; support and fully employ veterans; end immunity for U.S. war criminals; support International Criminal Court prosecution of war crimes.
  • Free Palestine; recognize Palestinian right of return, right to resist military occupation, and right to self-determination; end all U.S. military and economic aid to Israel; prosecute U.S. and Israeli leaders responsible for what DSA calls the genocide in Gaza. End economic warfare against countries whose governments act independently of the United States, including Cuba, Venezuela and Iran.
  • Abolish ICE; end ICE detention and deportations; punish federal agents’ brutality; legalize migration; grant amnesty to all immigrants regardless of status; citizenship path for permanent residents; end visa caps and quotas.
  • Extend full voting rights to all permanent U.S. residents; restore voting rights to incarcerated people and people with criminal convictions; D.C. statehood; self-determination for U.S. territories and colonies; end voter suppression.
  • End political corruption and legalized bribery; eliminate lobbyists, dark money and Citizens United; publicly finance elections; abolish the Electoral College;
  • Replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.
  • Replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy; expand the House; proportional representation; ranked-choice voting in all elections; abolish the Senate.
  • Establish public ownership of the largest corporations and essential industries; democratic control and accountability; aggressive wealth taxes on the richest individuals and corporations.
  • Empower workers to organize and fight employers; protect, expand and enforce the right to form, join and strike with unions; democratize unions; support union reform caucuses; take political action.

Note: All DSA goals were collected by ChatGPT from DSA internet sources.

The above list demonstrates the insanity of their objectives.  Doing half of this list would turn our society upside-down and put us into a state of total chaos.  Which sounds like their original objective!   

What’s the bottom line?

We are at, as they say, a pivotal point in our history.  If Marxists and Islamists get enough positions in government with enough power, we’re all toast!  Any country in history that has turned to communism for ‘relief’ has had a lot of people die as a result. And if that happened here in the U.S., it would mean all our lives will be changed for decades. No country has ever turned back from communism without a lot of dead people to show for it.

If you’re convinced communism is the best way for our country to survive and have a ‘normal’ life, you are sadly mistaken. If you don’t believe this article’s point, just try and find a communist country with a lot of groceries in their grocery stores! You won’t. Empty shelves are normal in a communist country. Also, if you think health care is poor here, you probably should focus on groceries again. Health care will be effectively the Canadian ‘Medical Assistance in Dying’ (MAID) plan. i.e., Get the old and medically challenged off the healthcare roles — Canada says, “We can’t afford them.”

“What’s your point?”, you ask.

VOTE!!   

And do so intelligently.  Study up on what is real.  Don’t just buy anything someone says, do your own research and decide what is true.  And that includes my writings.

If the Marxist and Islamists take charge in November, you will start to see things of critical and devastating importance occur progressively faster and faster. And once there’s no one fighting for you, that only leaves you to fix your own situation. But your situation at that point will be with few solutions available to address those issues.

Act now, while you still have time with solutions to help you and your family to survive. Once the Red and Green (Marxist and Islamists) get a strong enough hold on this country, it will be a short time before the constitution is dead in America…

P.S. Learn to pray to God for help…  we’re going to need Him if the Left wins this battle.

The Biden Economy – Disaster With a Purpose

1 Comment

Recession ahead - road sign warning concept

During the Trump administration, we all felt like the ‘real’ America was coming back.  “Go MAGA!!”  Hundreds of positive changes were being implemented quickly, and the future was looking brighter every day.  And then 2020 came, and with it came Joe Biden (along with his Marxist ‘advisors’).  It would seem as if the new dark ages had fallen upon us.  Almost every week we saw changes made by the administration that were having a horrendously negative impact on our economy. 

Since, those changes have been collectively demonstrating themselves as a coming disaster.  Lives are being impacted and most families are finding it hard ‘to make ends meet’.  Yet with all of the outcry, it continues to this day.  So, what is going on?

By now you think that you could do a better job than this administration.  After all, no one could make that many ‘mistakes’.  And without obtaining a Masters degree in economics, I believe many logical thinking people who have this country’s best interest in mind could do enormously better!

Then why is the administration making so many ‘mistakes’?  If this continues, we can find ourselves in a recession or worse.  The answer to this question may be that they aren’t mistakes, that they are accomplishing what they have set out to do.

How does one generally create a thriving economy?  By creating jobs (the government does not create jobs, they influence job creation), reducing regulations, lowering taxes (burden), increasing production of goods, and incentivizing corporations to create more new businesses.  Altogether, wealth is created to improve the lives and futures of those in this country – plus, to make an even better future for our kids and grand-kids.

Where does energy play a role in this better approach?  It takes energy – that is, cheap energy – to power industry in America (and at least any successful country).  The industrial revolution required massive amounts of energy to take America from an agricultural age into the future we enjoy(ed).  What does the Biden administration do on day one of his first term?  He crippled the oil industry by: closing down the oil pipeline from Canada; stopped drilling on federal lands; stopped signing permits for any new oil leases; and anything else he could do to cripple the oil industry. 

Shortly after, he ordered that all coal powered facilities be shut-down and ‘destroyed’ ASAP (which is still happening).  (That also included all efficient coal plants.)  And one should ask why electrical power facilities driven by water (natural streams) are under attack considering they are the ‘greenest’ electrical power you can generate!  And to insure that the American public are and shall stay uninformed, dams are being shut down across the U.S. without notoriety. 

So now our country is rapidly going downhill with just these few sources of money and power.  “Wait a minute”, you ask.  What started the inflation that we are dealing with? 

The answer is simple at its core – too much money chasing too few goods.  “Where did the excess money come from?  Biden & Co. of course.  It’s called quantitative easing; aka, printing of money (digitally); aka, pulling a rabbit out of your butt!!? 

Every time we ‘print more money’, we dilute the American dollar.  Here is a brief example to explain.

If say you have 1000 troy tons of gold and it has a very large value, say $10 trillion dollars.  And you printed $10 trillion worth of U.S. dollars (notes).  Then that $10T dollars = $10T gold.  Obvious.

Now if you printed another $10T in currency, what would each dollar be worth? 

(i.e., $10T gold [a fixed amount]/$20T in newly printed dollars – that would mean each U.S. dollar would be worth $0.50.)

Ask yourself: with our debt being $31.4T; our current annual deficit (debt created annually) being $1.2T; and our unfunded liabilities (things we owe someone that we have no money for) being over $100T; what do you think our U.S. dollar would REALLY be worth today?

Answer:  “Not a hell of a lot!” 

Does that help explain why a new car costs what a house did just a few years ago?

And now to add to this enormous, and catastrophic situation, we throw in inflation!  What do you propose that would spell? 

V-E-N-E-Z-U-A-L-A 

You might ask, “Who is supposed to be in charge of this subject within the federal government?”  That would be congress, except for the fact they gave up that ‘constitutionally assigned task’ and allowed it to be assumed by the executive branch!  And who would that be?  Biden & Co., of course. 

Think of any decision that the executive branch has implemented in the last two and a half years and ask yourself, “Is it possible that they have a different agenda than us?”  You bet. 

But let us be charitable.  Joe Biden may be ‘running’ this country, but to a 10% degree at best.  It should be obvious by now that he has some of the most radical Marxists behind him ‘reminding him’ of what his current decision is and what’s next.  This is not a string of mistakes; it is a list of positioning moves. 

If we were playing chess, we’d just have a king, and at best a pawn left on the board.

I’ve said it before, but I submit this article to drive home the truth and update my many times I have repeated the statement, “Their objective is to destroy the American economy and subsequently destroy the country”.  Why?  To allow the ‘one world government’ to take over the decisions of ALL countries in the world.  And we are #1 on the list to destroy.  Because as America goes, so goes the world.  We have been the world leaders for almost 250 years.  Or at least we were.

For the sake of brevity, I didn’t go into the shortages we’ve had recently.  e.g., thousands of chickens burned to death in mysterious fires; thousands of cattle which also died in unknown source fires; etc.  All of which wreaked of terrorism occurring on U.S. soil without any media fanfare. 

Preparation Suggestion:  Get out of debt, prepare for the worst, pray for forgiveness, and ask for divine help.  Because what’s coming will be MUCH worse than 2008-2009.  Think 1930’s…  not tomorrow, but very soon.

Medical Totalitarianism — A Precursor to “The Great Reset”

The comparison I make in this article may shock you and leave you thinking it is conspiracy talk.  But I ask that you read on as I make the case for it not only being real but documented with evidence taken from various articles — of well-known sites.  It is important that you read and absorb this information as it may not only impact your health, but your economic future.

Almost everyone in this world has heard enough about COVID-19.  But this disease has had a profound impact on our society, changing the way we live, dividing our society, and not only introducing things into our society, but in our government.

To give direction to this article, let me explain how COVID has been the precursor to something some of us have heard of — “The Great Reset”.  It is a term that to some is not considered real (conspiracy), and to others are those who consider it of no consequence.

COVID-19, Therapy, and Care

As mentioned in a previous article of mine, the use of ‘off-label’ drugs is now being outlawed by the CDC and other government entities for no legitimate reason.  The use of off-label drugs has been used for several decades and has proven itself extremely successful at treating numerous diseases – that they were not originally created for.  Yet our government is keeping them away from patients.  Why?

What is the government’s (CDC, FDA, NIH, et al) solution?  Get the vaccine (jab) . . .  and often.  So what are the new ‘vaccines’?  They are designed to alter our genetics — to change the way our immune system works.  The implication of which is to address the virus after the patient has been infected and to enhance the system’s attack mechanism by slowing down replication (but you still have the bug).  Their argument being, it will reduce the symptoms for the patient and improve recovery.

So now after a couple of years of millions of Americans getting these shots, we now have information released by whistleblowers within the DOD.  “The DOD why them, you ask?”  Because the information released came from medical practitioners inside the military establishment.  What they released was empirical data found inside the DOD because of a study being done on medical data.

The report by The Epoch Times is the antithesis of the ‘governments reports.  They show that early treatment of this disease leads to greater outcomes faster.  How great?  They found that over 150,000 young military personnel were treated with known therapies that work early and the doctors got a 99.99% survival rate!  This is wildly more successful than the CDC.

So now you know that the ‘jab’ not only doesn’t keep you from getting COVID but can actually have serious side effects.  Great, and now they want us to get more jabs!?

It is also important for you to know what the vaccine shots can and cannot do.  Let’s talk about how bad they are for patients.

The Blaze Media reports that military medical whistleblowers have come forward with what they claim is perhaps the most accurate and revealing dataset on vaccine safety one could possibly find.

On Monday, during Sen. Ron Johnson’s five-hour hearing on a “COVID-19: Second Opinion,” Ohio attorney Thomas Renz, who has been representing clients suing the vaccine mandates, presented DOD medical billing data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) that paints a shockingly disturbing picture of the health of our service members in 2021.

The report ‘contains every ICD medical billing code for any medical diagnosis in the military submitted for medical insurance billing during any given period of time. Three military doctors have presented queried data to Renz that shows a shocking and sudden spike in nearly every ICD code for common vaccine injuries in 2021’.  The report further ‘revealed that there has been a 300% increase in DMED codes registered for miscarriages in the military in 2021 over the five-year average. The five-year average was 1,499 codes for miscarriages per year. During the first 10 months of 2021, it was 4,182’.

Aside from the spike in miscarriage diagnoses (ICD code O03 for spontaneous abortions), there was an almost 300% increase in cancer diagnoses (from a five-year average of 38,700 per year to 114,645 in the first 11 months of 2021). There was also a 1,000% increase in diagnosis codes for neurological issues, which increased from a baseline average of 82,000 to 863,000!

Some other numbers he did not mention at the hearing but gave to me in the interview are the following:

  • myocardial infarction –269% increase
  • Bell’s palsy – 291% increase
  • congenital malformations (for children of military personnel) – 156% increase
  • female infertility – 471% increase
  • pulmonary embolisms – 467% increase

According to Renz, it was the actual clinical experience of the three named doctors and several unnamed doctors that led them to investigate DMED, and their discoveries reflected their experience treating patients with ailments extremely unusual to healthy, young soldiers since the rollout of the vaccines.

“Some physicians throughout the force (all branches) have been intimidated by commands not to perform the full spectrum of testing and adhere to the regulations, which implicitly direct full workups for EUA vaccination adverse reactions. It will require other military physicians to step forward and share experiences to fully ascertain the enormity of these allegations and engender an investigation to the fullest extent.”

How could the blaring and glaring surveillance signals of a lifetime be ignored by the Defense Health Agency (DHA), and how was this not conveyed to the general public?

The article from The Blaze News talks about people of science within the government who cannot sit idly by any longer based on information obtained from the government billing data.  (You can read the full article below.)

So now you know that not only does the vaccine not stop you from getting COVID, but it is potentially harmful to you!  But wait, there’s more!

Any adult should know that the medical profession is one of the most important to us — personally.  Therefore, we should have an exceptional level of confidence in who our doctor is, how well he’s been trained, and if he is open to our input regarding our care.  Imagine one day you had a physical problem that required your hospitalization and the doctors and nurses there could care less if you lived or died?  That would be hard to believe, right?

The following are two examples of actions taken by doctors and nurses in hospitals for patients admitted with COVID.  It is not unreasonable for anyone to find them very difficult to believe much less understand. Both of these incidents were reported by The Blaze Media.

The first case is regarding a husband who was admitted to a Minnesota hospital and was not receiving therapy for his condition.  Instead, he was put on a respirator and given steroids and antibiotics only.  He was then put into an induced coma to allow his system to fight the disease.  When his wife asked for alternative medicines or therapy, they refused.  He remained there until his vitals were substantially reduced and had lost 30 pounds.

According to Holsten [the patient’s attorney], the Minnesota hospital responded to her appeal for a restraining order by claiming that the “position” to keep Scott alive “is not supported by medical science or Minnesota law. As a result, Mercy will ask the court to issue an order that Mercy has the authority to discontinue Mr. Quiner’s ventilator and proceed with his medical care plan.” 

“The ‘medical care plan’ was the plan to discontinue the ventilator at noon, which leads to death very shortly. So that was at 10 o’clock, but then at 11 o’clock, before the 12 o’clock [effective] execution, the judge did, in fact, sign an order saying the hospital is restrained from pulling the plug,” she added.

The patient was soon after transported to a Texas hospital for treatment.

Anne [the patient’s wife] told Glenn [Beck] that doctors in Texas were shocked by Scott’s condition after he arrived from the Minnesota hospital. Not only had he been given dangerous drugs, he was also found to be “severely malnourished.”

“The doctor [in Texas] spent two hours with Scott [the patient] and when he came back out, he said, ‘I don’t know how he even made it, how he even survived that other hospital … but I will do everything I can to try to save his life,'” Anne explained.

“And the doctor [in Texas] said Scott was the most undernourished patient he has ever seen,” Holsten added. . . . .  “Glenn, we are first bringing this battle to the court of public opinion,” Holsten continued. “What we are showing the world is that Scott was near death because of the protocols used in that [Minnesota] hospital, but now he is recovering. He is getting better….

Unfortunately, I must report that the patient never recovered due to the time spent in the Minnesota hospital without proper care – obviously, totally unavoidable.

The second and more recent case was regarding a Boston patient who was on the donor list to receive a heart transplant.  When the hospital learned that he had not received the (magic) vaccine, they removed him from the donor list!

There are various forms of homicide.  In brief, there is murder and manslaughter.  In simple terms manslaughter is the catch-all – done out of ignorance or without thinking.  Murder is basically more intentional – 1st degree murder obviously is with intent and aforethought.

Given these cases, how would you rate the actions of the hospitals?

The Great Reset

Too many people do not believe there is any such thing as the ‘Great Reset’.  Many have not even heard about it.  But the fact is, there is a lot of evidence available that should convince almost anyone that it is real – and coming.  The key to address it is, timing.  The sooner Americans catch on that we are being led to slaughter, the better.  Your economic future depends on this not happening.

What is the Reset?  It is a global plan designed to make the unbelievably rich get richer, gain much more power, and create the majority of those occupying the planet surfs for decades to come.  Why do they need more power?  Good question.

Most of us save money to build a future for ourselves — current and future.  We mainly want a better standard of living now, and to have money to live a nice retirement while still leaving some money for our children.  (Imagine if both of those objectives were wiped out of your plans.)  The difference between you and the extremely wealthy is their internal mechanism or motivation is different.

If you were given $10M you would assume you are rich — rightly so considering the world population average income.  But people who amass wealth like $50M, $100M, $100B, etc., are no longer trying to improve their lifestyle – money is merely is a measurement of their success and power.  Two questions:  How much money do you need to be comfortable?  How much power (control) do you need in your life?  With people who are that rich, there isn’t any limit often.

The Great Reset is a consortium of government and private large business.  (Small business is normally considered part of the middle class which is one of the primary targets of the Reset.)   The primary intent is to skirt the constitution and bill of rights.  (The constitution is designed to control government, not private business.)  Given unlimited power, they will control everything.

This is not anything new.  It’s been going on for thousands of years.  We’ve just enjoyed a couple hundred years of growth, prosperity, and a raised standard of living – and now are becoming fat, lazy, and complacent.

If you wonder what the government and private business (corporations) can do when they get unlimited power, just re-read the reports above of what physicians are doing today.  Getting ‘caring people’ to kill others over some ideological belief is a great example of what can go wrong.  I’m not sure what it would take our society to be convinced that this is one hell of a scary proposition.

If you read this article to this point, congratulations!  My guess is most readers will poop out halfway through this post.  Many will not even read the evidence before them.  Hence, the reason for why we are where are now.

For more information on The Great Reset, try visiting the World Economic Forum’s website and read in their own words what their objectives are and see where they plan to take us …   soon!

Just as a taste of what the Reset is, watch this very brief video from the WEF website.  Understand, this is only the beginning…

As I’ve said far too many times for too many years, wake up America.  Or get used to being called ‘comrade’.

Demonstrators or Bolsheviks?

Altering language is the key tool of the progressives — which is why they win (a lot).  The typical conservative is polite and doesn’t want to offend.  But they need to hold those who ‘twist’ things accountable.  Where are you going with this you ask?

We’re currently seeing a lot of ‘demonstrations’ where people are acting out violently.  To my recollection I don’t ever remember Tea Party participants burning things or beating bystanders.  So who are these people and where do they come from?

Most of us have heard rumors that some of these people are funded by George Soros.  But what most have not heard is, who in particular is that money going to and how does it get to them.  The answer is the ‘alt left’, aka communists.  Ahhhh, but you say that can’t happen in the U.S.!!?  Allow me to share with you a bit of history.

About 100 years ago a gentleman in Russia wanted to implement Marxism there. He was sold on the idea and knew that it was, in his mind, the only way to build up his country.  But he knew that selling communism would be a challenge, so he called himself a ‘Democratic Socialist’.  (Note that Bernie Sanders gives himself the same title!  Which shouldn’t be a surprise as he has been Marxist for decades.)  So who was that ‘gentleman’ in Russsia you ask?  His name was Vladimir Lenin!!

He had to build up backing for his movement in order to get it implemented — and that meant force — a large group of angry people,  who were willing to use force to get what they were told would be their reward.  That is when he created the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP).  That group ultimately became the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

The name given to these people was the Bolsheviks.  If someone was in the way of moving the country to where Lenin wanted it, the Bolsheviks would use violence wherever needed.  Starting to see the parallel..?

Informally Lenin also had another name for ‘his people’.  In Russian that name is poleznym idiots (pronounced pol-ez-nium id-ioots).  Today we see the same ill-informed people on our streets creating chaos.  And to my mind Lenin’s nickname for those who helped create chaos for the sake of creating a new communist state in Russia also applies to the poleznym idiots here in the U.S. — that’s ‘useful idiots’ in English by the way.

This really isn’t a humorous subject.  The communist party here in the U.S. has been trying to convert our country through anarchy for decades.  They just haven’t gotten the idiots riled up enough to start a civil war.  However, if we keep marching down the road we are on …   it could happen.??

Now is the time for objective thinking Americans to share logical fact based knowledge wherever possible with those who have been swept up with the propaganda of the left.  Don’t fight them, educate them when you can.  The important thing to remember is, “we surround them”, they are the minority — for now.
