Note from Don Wildmon: For years I have refused to use words such as Marxism, socialism or similar words when describing our current situation. However, it is time to call a spade a spade, regardless of how those who oppose us label us. Rome is burning. The article below was written by Stanislav Mishin, a blogger and columnist for the Russian newspaper Pravda.
American capitalism gone with a whimper . . . . .
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 than the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than 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 (Russia) about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blinds 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 (Russian 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 than 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 than 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.

Hiddenin the weeds- Paul & Mary Kegley
This is a beautiful story. Too bad we don't have more children like this.
HIDDEN IN THE WEEDS
Just two little boys were walking
Down a long and dusty lane;
They came upon this old white house..
With broken window panes.
The paint was faded, the shine was gone,
The grass had grown so high;
Still, they made their little feet
Go see what was inside.
They opened up the squeaky door,
And then it came to light,
This must have been an old church house
Once upon a time.
Dirty, dusty wooden pews,
A pulpit that still stood;
A Bible laid upon it,
Though the pages weren't too good.
An offering plate and song books, too
Were lying on the floor;
They must have left this old church fast
The day they closed these doors.
And over in the corner
A piano was still there;
It must have played a pretty tune,
But I guess nobody cared.
So little Bill looked up at Tommy,
And Tommy looked at Bill;
Why don't we clean this old church up,
And get these old pews filled?'
They took a rag and wiped the dust
To try and make things shine;
Then they took the offering plate
And put in it their last dime.
They took a broom and swept the floor,
And picked up broken glass;
They got it all so nice and neat,
And then they mowed the grass.
They lifted up the old church sign
And stood it by a tree,
Right down by that old dirt road,
Where everyone could see.
They ran back home to find Daddy gone,
But their Momma was inside,
Just to find her hurt again
Where Daddy had made her cry.
"Don't cry, Momma, wipe those tears,"
Little Bill and Tommy smiled,
"'Cause we have a big surprise for you,
Just down the road a mile."
Hand in hand they tugged at her,
Until they made her run.
"What is it, Bill, Oh, Tommy,
Just what have you kids done?"
And, then they came upon the house
Once hidden by the weeds;
There it stood, a country church,
Just like it used to be.
"But, what is it, Mother? What's with your tears?
We thought this would bring you joy."
"Yes, but hush kids now and listen close,
My two sweet precious boys."
They both got quiet and stood real still,
For the words they heard, so true,
Was Daddy praying in the church,
With his head bowed on the pew.
"Forgive me, Lord! Forgive me, Lord!
Though I'm not worthy of Your love;
Shine down on this sinner man,
Sweet Salvation from above."
"For I've been out in the world, You know,
Living my life all wrong,
Until I came upon this church;
The place where I belong."
"I never noticed it before,
All those times I passed it up;
I guess I wasn't looking, Lord,
Or maybe I was drunk."
"Bless, oh Lord, yes, bless, oh Lord,
The one who made me see,
This little church that used to hide
Behind all those tall weeds."
Then he raised his head and stood,
With his hands high in the air,
To find two dirty, tear-faced boys,
With Momma standing there.
They ran up to him, hugged him tight,
As their tears fell on the floor.
"Don't worry, kids, I'm not the Dad,
The one you've known before."
"Things are different for us now,
So keep on those pretty smiles,
And let's go gather people in,
To walk down these church aisles."
Then, Bill looked up at Tommy,
And Tommy looked at Bill;
"Come on, brother, let's get to work,
To get these old pews filled."
"For we need no special blessing
For cleaning up this church,
'Cause, God gave us back our daddy,
And that's more than gold is worth."
Sunday morning, pews all filled,
And smiles on every face,
Especially two little country boys,
The ones who found this place.
Though it was hid back in the weeds,
And so far out of sight;
Nothing's ever hard to find,
If you're walking toward God's light.
1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have
fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son,
cleanses us from all sin."
Won't you please share this with people you want to be blessed.

You gave me a Mountain-Another PatRichards Whitehead
Subject: Fwd: You Gave Me A Mountain! ! !
Great Story!!!!
Brenda was almost halfway to the
Top of the tremendous granite cliff.She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens. "Great", she thought. "Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry." She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there. She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens.
When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the bible verse "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth."
She thought, "Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me."
Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom of the cliff they met another party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, "Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?
Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across a twig on the face of the rock, carrying it!
The story doesn't end there. Brenda's father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the caption, "Lord ,
I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You."
I think it would do all of us some good to say, "God, I don't know why You want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if You want me to carry it, I will."
God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him, I can do all things through Christ whostrengthens me. (Phil. 4:13)

'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $1, 000.00 will only buy a used one.
'If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. 20 cents a pack is ridiculous..
'Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter.
'If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.
'When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.
'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.
'I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas .
'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $50,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President..
'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now..

'It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.
'I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.
'Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes.. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to government.
'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.
'There is no sense going on short trips anymore for a weekend, it costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel.
'No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $15.00 a day in the hospital, it's too rich for my blood.'
'If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'
