American capitalism gone with a whimper: these make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary streetthugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves inthe sheer volumes. Should we congratulate them?
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the Americandescent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against theback drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meantpeople.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the pastcentury, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing groundswas conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But weRussians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and oursouls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists ofthe Marxists.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized andsubstandard education system based on pop culture, rather then theclassics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then thedrama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their”right” to choke down a McDonald’s burger or a Burger King burger thanfor their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture usabout our rights and about our “democracy”. Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until theirchurches, all tens of thousands of different “branches anddenominations” were for the most part little more then Sunday circusesand their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were morethen happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the “winning”side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks maycomplain, but when explained that they would be on the “winning” side,their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthlypower. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized inAmerica.
The final collapse has come with the election ofBarack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been trulyimpressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting,not just in America’s short history but in the world. If this keeps upfor more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not,America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worstZimbabwe.
These past two weeks have been the most breathtaking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of theAmerican Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it tobankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions ofdollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more thenordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat ourown thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?
These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up ofappointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmenwho are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in onebailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties andpowers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has putup little more then a whimper to their masters.
Then came Barack Obama’s command that GM’s (GeneralMotor) president step down from leadership of his company. That iscorrect, dear reader, in the land of “pure” free markets, the Americanpresident now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and wecan 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 Americanpresident has followed this up with a “bold” move of declaring that heand another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign theentire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobilepolicies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily tryand 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 followthe path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even thoughwe suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we knownothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our “wise” Anglo-Saxonfools 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 theDemocratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing anew regulation that would give the American Treasury department thepower to set “fair” maximum salaries, evaluate performance and controlhow private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator BarneyFranks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course,amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as thatof the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down uponlife choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxistenlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affectscompanies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive andtaken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industrythat has ever received a tax break or incentive.
The Russian owners of American companies andindustries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closingtheir facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast aspossible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slaverywith out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, howfree he really is. The world will only snicker.
