American Capitalism Gone With a Whimper
American Capitalism Gone With a Whimper
Stanislav Mishin
The article has been reprinted with the kind permission from the author and originally appears on his blog, Mat Rodina
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.

Wild Thing's comment..........
We have a president too far left for Pravda; but the MSM assures us that anyone who opposes him is an ‘extremist’.
This is an interesting article and he says a lot of things that are very acurate as to what has been happening.

Why can't people see the reality of this snake oil salesman. We are fast losing the freedoms that have been taken for granted and he is driving this once great republic into being a downtrodden 3rd world country. Let's hope that the Republicans finally wake up and see the error of their ways and fight this man made disaster named Barry Soetoro, Barack Obama or whatever it's real name is.

They will BobA, when Cap and Trade hits them right square between the eyes, like a 2 x 4, it will smack them to life.
When we are paying 5.50 a gal for gasoline, 500 dollars a month for electricity and we are forced to drive a buckboard with an engine on it, then maybe these fools will wake up.
The Tea parties are a good thing but they are not enough. So many people in this country have no idea what the hell is going on. These same people are the ones who don't vote, they take their rights for granted, they will always be there. They have been told this for generations and have gotten lazy and complacent.
If they do wake up and it is not too late then maybe we will be able to do something but until these people, these sheep wake up there's nothing that can be done.

Obama violates the oath of office almost daily. He should be brought up on charges of treason and malfeasence.

I sent a message to one of my senators yesterday, Kit Bond, and implored him to do all in his power to stop the cap-and-trade madness. Slavery to the state. That's what it amounts to. It's hard to find fault with this editorial.

It is my feeling as well as my wish that very soon, the American people will finally wake up and realize that O'Vomit is not only destroying their lives but also their country. When that happens, it will be time to lock and load. If O'Vomit had any sense, he'll be making plans now for his flight into exile to possibly in Venezuela, Cuba or Tehran.

This has been a whirlwind four months. Obama and his socialist Democrat Congress have destroyed or damaged many of America's freedoms. Capitalism if freedom of economics and it has been nationalized.
Once a freedom gone, it is pretty well over. Government growth seldom gets reversed. Americans have become too politically lazy to study the candidates and parties. They follow the MSM lead and play American Idol with their votes. Other Americans just don't vote.
Perhaps when the big assault on our 2nd Amendment rights comes we will revolt. If not, and Obama et al have a free 4 year reign, then we can say goodbye to the America that we had for nearly 200 years. It has been heading for socialism for 6 decades, but now it is on the fast track.

I'm baaaaaack Conservative VIXEN Wild Thing and Nick. We have seven weeks remaining to battle socialist Demorat '1term Governator' Jack A. Markell, aka socialist JAM, so I haven't forgotten TEAM THEODORE and hopefully our crusade of 42,000 state workers (public servant employees of the socialist state) will break it off into his behind soon. This bastard wants to cut our base pay 8%, increased our heath coverage 60% and tripled our dental coverage! Jack The Ripper also wants to take away three federal holidays from us.
KEEP THE FAITH and guess what? Obama's senators voted NOT to close GITMO just now. Imagine that?

Bob A., I don't get it either. How on earth
do people decide to stay blind, deaf and
dumb.
Posted by: Wild Thing at May 20, 2009 06:24 PM
Mark, your so right and about those who
don't vote too. They may not care what
happens to America but they might wake
up when he as you say smacks them
between the eyes in reality that
effects them in a very direct way.
Posted by: Wild Thing at May 20, 2009 06:31 PM
Billy Ray, I think so too. I really
would love to see him charged with
those vary things.There is plenty
to show he has put us in danger, and
his things he has done against our
Constitution.

Jim, that is great, that is what we need
to do, to write to them. I sent emails
to mine and got back the form emails
they always respond with but I won't
give up.

Posted by: Wild Thing at May 20, 2009 06:46 PM
Tom,your right, now for the first time it
is on a fast track into socialism.
Our beloved America, we will fight back
and I don't know when or how but it will
happen, it has to.

Darth, good to see you. Jack The Ripper
is a good name for your Gov. I am so
sorry he is trying to do all those
things.
