Stalin – Don Boys https://donboys.cstnews.com Common Sense for Today Sun, 05 Mar 2023 04:46:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6.29 What You Don’t Know About Adolph Hitler May Shock You! https://donboys.cstnews.com/what-you-dont-know-about-adolph-hitler-may-shock-you https://donboys.cstnews.com/what-you-dont-know-about-adolph-hitler-may-shock-you#respond Sat, 12 Jun 2021 14:51:59 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=2865 With this column, I will crawl out on a long, limber limb and hand my critics a saw as I reveal some facts about Hitler that few Americans know.

While Adolph Hitler was responsible for millions of deaths, that horrifying fact does not cancel the fact he was a multifaceted person as all of us are. Nor does the fact he was a tyrant negate the fact that he may even merit a few generous but truthful words! Now, the knees of the fanatics and non-thinkers are jerking all over America—left ones, of course. Since their thinking is skewed, they should be pitied, not pilloried, for thinking it is wrong to say anything positive about Hitler. They have major mental problems and deserve our sympathy.

Or, they are cowards who refuse to believe the truth.

Or, they are lazy and refuse to learn the truth.

Or, they are so desirous of public approval, they are willing to bury the truth for personal gain.

Of course, those same people who are horrified at anything said or written uncritical of Hitler are never aghast at praise for Josef Stalin. They always cheer Stalin and jeer Hitler when both were despots. Moreover, the world knew of Stalin’s penchant for killing millions of people long before the Allies took him to the dance in WW II.

Hitler’s atrocities were not known until the end of the war. In their post-war memoirs, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Churchill, or de Galle wrote nothing about Hitler killing Jews. Stalin is credited with killing as many as 40 million people while Hitler killed up to 30 million. Mao Zedong of China takes home the trophy for killing about 60 million people.

Isn’t that strange that there is far more hatred for Hitler than Stalin and Mao since Joe and Mao were far more effective in killing than Adolph was? The inconsistency is that the crimson Left has always had a not-so-secret love affair with all things Communist.

Everyone knows the reason for the worlds’ hatred of Hitler. However, most are ignorant of the nuances of WW II when Stalin supported the Allies in hopes of getting Eastern Europe into his dominion as per the decisions at Yalta. He got it from a dying U.S. President who had advisors who were Communist spies, whispering in his ear while Hitler got a self-inflicted bullet in the head. Too bad Stalin didn’t go and do likewise. If Hitler was a tyrant, and he was, Stalin was a tyrant’s tyrant responsible for killing far more people than Hitler. Stalin’s War of Extermination should be required reading for all Americans.

With all his faults, we know from Hitler’s speeches and other documents that he wanted power, territory, and relief from the abominable and unfair Versailles Treaty. Still, he often said he did not want war with Britain. And for sure, not with America. Historical records reveal that he tried to make peace with Britain in May of 1941, even sending his Deputy, Rudolf Hess, in a private plane to England on a peace mission to end the war with Britain. Hess left Hitler a letter in which he suggested Hitler disown him as demented if his peace plan failed. Hitler did just that.

A few weeks later, Hitler kicked off Operation Barbarossa invading Russia, so it is only reasonable he wanted to make peace with Britain. He did not relish fighting two simultaneous wars. Even some British officials believe Hitler wanted England to help Germany destroy the long-time terror of Europe, the Soviet Union.

After a thousand-mile solo flight, Hess crashed in Scotland and was imprisoned until his death in 1987 of suicide by hanging himself with an electrical cord in West Berlin’s Spandau Prison. He was the only prisoner in that vast prison after 1966 and was not permitted visitors, although his family could visit after 1969. It is bizarre that other Nazis sentenced to life were all paroled, yet Hess, not a war criminal, was kept under wraps for decades. What did the Allies have to fear from him?

Hess was frail, sick, and 93 years old, and rumors persist that he was killed by British agents to keep him quiet about his peacekeeping mission. His male medical attendant thought he was murdered.

Churchill and his minions were never called to the dock for their decision not to pursue peace. Long after the fact, the British Broadcasting Corporation admitted (much to my surprise) that Hess was “apparently on a peace mission” as he always said.

One can imagine how the British citizenry would have responded during the years when German planes were bombing London and other cities every night, knowing a genuine peace could have been made early in the war saving millions of lives.

Now, because I have declared the facts above will require Progressives to place me in a permanent political purgatory. Even truth is forbidden if it offends others. Too bad. It is incredible that grown people, people of intellect, people of influence can become so fearful of the truth. Such people, obviously, are very unsure of what they believe.

Since I’m white, I don’t have the right to express the truth without those fearful or uninterested in truth taking potshots at me.

Hitler also loved animals, so that should count for something, although he loved them more than humans whom he slaughtered—Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, and others. He ate eggs because it meant the chicken was spared rather than killed. He even fed mice bread crumbs in his apartment during his early days following WW I.

Interestingly, Hitler and Mussolini did not smoke, but Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin were heavy smokers. Furthermore, Roosevelt was a social drinker, Stalin drank heavily, and Churchill, when not working, started drinking early in the day and was a pathetic alcoholic. Hitler did not drink alcohol but drank only water.

Hitler appreciated and could discuss Dante, Schiller, Shakespeare, Renan, Luther, Goethe, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer. He carried a pocket edition of Schopenhauer with him. He often read the Bible and the Talmud and could discuss Homer, Horace, Cicero, Sophocles, and Ovid.

He had a second-hand upright piano in a home corridor and often played (tolerably) a Bach cantata or a Wagner melody.

Before blowing out his brains in his underground bunker, Hitler placed a photo of his mother in front of him. Honest people might suggest that he had a sensitive side, but that might cause violent repercussions.

Freshman U.S. Representative Mary Miller of Illinois was almost forced to drink hemlock when she quoted Hitler saying, “Whoever has the youth has the future.” Wow, the bigoted bullies in the “woke” crowd, including Republicans, exploded. The Democrat governor of Illinois (who is Jewish) declared those remarks were “unfathomable. Let me be clear: Hitler got nothing right.”

You see, even a Jew can say stupid, untrue things.

Of course, Hitler said and did some good things that have nothing to do with his despotic ways.

It is a matter of history that Hitler joined the German Army at the start of WW I (although born in Austria) and fought bravely in the trenches on the Western Front for four years. He was twice wounded in battle and was almost killed ten times. While he was fighting on the wrong side (depending on your perspective), he did what he should have done—support his adopted nation.

When Germany lost the war, Hitler (still blinded from war wounds) pulled the sheet over his face and cried for hours for his adopted country.

During his young adult years, he was a good but not great artist, even though his critics often ridicule his work. In my opinion, most of Hitler’s critics never took the time to look at his paintings. What little minds his critics have who can’t recognize a man’s paintings without approving his politics, policies, and programs.

He also displayed his talent with his grandiose building program. Looking at “Surviving examples of Nazi architecture” will be worthwhile. Yes, Hitler destroyed thousands of buildings, but he, like King Ramesses II, King Nebuchadnezzar, Herod the Great, and other totalitarians erected some impressive buildings.

Germans had suffered horrendously during and following WW I, followed by hyperinflation that devastated the nation. Hitler stabilized the German mark, built modern roads, promoted industrialization, and constructed 202,119 model homes before 1933. In the following four years, he built almost one and a half million new homes! Furthermore, he built 91,000 farmhouses, each surrounded by a parcel of land measuring 1000 meters square.

It’s a fact that tyrants can do some things right—well, except Hitler. Now you know why I say leftists are the most illogical people living.

Hitler really won the prize when he and Ferdinand Porsche developed the Volkswagen, the peoples’ car that sold for 400 U.S. dollars, the price Hitler required. (Tyrants can do that.) He built impressive highways connecting Germany with Austria, Switzerland, France, and others. After a massive time of currency collapse, Germans could afford a family car and a couple of weeks in the Swiss Alps.

When French workers boasted of one week of paid vacation in 1936, Hitler had established 18 days of paid vacation in 1933 for Germans. Tyrants can do pleasant things like that.

Sure, he was a tyrant, but a tyrant with talent. Should his successes be wiped out because of his excesses? Interestingly, the tyrant had a passion for flowers and music, especially Wagner’s compositions. He was a terrible but sensitive poet, as a poem about his mother reveals.

Does not every tyrant have some positives? Indeed, the most vain, vile, and vicious person on earth has some good qualities. Does saying so make him any more commendable or less culpable? Does it give him even a small amount of credibility and absolution for his crimes? Only a fool says so. Most leftists would not be so demanding of obnoxious individuals, but Hitler is an exception. Such people need to spend time in deep reflection because that appears to be a mental or emotional problem.

Louis Farrakhan, overlooking Hitler’s whiteness, called Hitler a “great man,” and the “woke” crowd did not demand Farrakhan’s crucifixion. But then, Screwy Louie is black, so he is one of a privileged class. That means unaccountable.

I will be told, even by some friends, that I made a bad choice in writing anything good about Hitler since it is really not necessary. However, I want to make a point that censorship is wrong, whether by the government or the media or self-imposed. All with the realization, you can’t yell “fire” in a crowded theater.

Censorship, even self-censorship, is un-American. It means a loss of freedom. I wanted to say something good about Hitler to prove that I could. If the law or pressure from others could keep me from anything positive about Hitler, they can do the same about any other subject.

In times past, the Left accused Christians, especially Baptists, of wanting to rewrite textbooks and putting a censor in every publishing house, movie production lot, and television network to make sure dirty words weren’t used. I don’t demand or want censorship, but I do demand the right and opportunity to write and say what I want without politicians or the “woke” crowd refusing to allow me a platform for free speech.

Any issue should be discussed and debated so decisions can be made about the truth.

There are no forbidden subjects, and I refuse to genuflect to government, media moguls, or anyone wearing jackboots and carrying a whip. I am not for sale and will continue writing and speaking what I perceive as truth even if I am never heard or read again.

I would be honored if my tombstone said, “Here lies Don Boys, a Bible-believing Christian who could not be bought, bullied, badgered, or blackmailed and remained as independent as a hog on ice and dedicated to truth and Truth until his last breath.”

Why Have Jews Always Been Hated? https://donboys.cstnews.com/why-have-jews-always-been-hated https://donboys.cstnews.com/why-have-jews-always-been-hated#respond Mon, 31 May 2021 14:12:07 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=2861 The current anti-Jewish violence seen in many major cities of the world is sickening, surprising, and shocking, but then any violence against the innocent is shocking. The 4,100 deadly rockets that Hamas recently deployed over Israel is a war crime that progressives seem to think is standard operating practices of modern warfare. There is no defense for killing non-combatants now or by Hitler or Churchill, or Roosevelt during WW II.

Moreover, it must be understood that one can be critical of the Jews and Israel without being a hater. I hold Jews to the same standard as any other group. Christ was very critical of the Jewish leaders in His day, calling them “vipers,” “liars,” “fools,” “blind,” “hypocrites,” and “ye are of your father, the Devil” in John 8. Those leaders were far from the godly Jews who genuinely loved God and tried to follow His commandants. The two major Jewish leader-groups, Pharisees and Sadducees, were hypocrites and biblical heretics, respectively.

I believe it is time to stop funding Israel but that doesn’t make me a Jew-hater. Biden’s budget even plans to fund the “Palestinians.” That is madness. Since Israel stands for freedom, we should sell weapons to them; but they can stand on their own feet after almost 75 years. To fund Hamas terrorists who have promised to drive Israel into the sea is insensitive, incredible, and insane. The U.S. should only send welfare to nations if it is in our national interest to do so.

Furthermore, decent people can disagree with many of Israel’s policies, such as the Mossad, national politics, vaccinations, etc., without hating Jews. The most prominent critics of the secular Jewish state are orthodox Jews! So, of course, there can be room for disagreement without being a hater.

When Christ declared Himself to be God, the Jewish religious leaders only had one of two choices: they could either bow down and worship Him, or they could kill Him. You know their choice. While it is true that the vile, violent, virulent anti-Jew, anti-Israel hatred is rooted in the Jewish crucifixion of Christ, hatred of Jews has been endemic for thousands of years.

However, the hatred of Jews is more complex than a reaction to Christ’s death since it goes back to their beginning.

Unbelievers and wicked men hate certitude, and the Jews, while not always being right, have always been certain. While the rest of the world worshipped multiple pagan gods, the dedicated Jews demanded faithful and exclusive worship of Jehovah. Well, there goes the pagan vote!

God forbade them to marry into the unbelieving pagan nations, and that suggested Jewish superiority. That refusal to be absorbed into the culture has been a reason for their perpetuity as a people and a cause of universal hatred. Jews seemed to be pretentious, and they still do! Their critics often resented it and still do.

God gave the Jews a code of personal conduct known as the Ten Commandments, and nothing could be more absolute; they were not resolutions or recommendations but requirements. Men still chaff under “Thou shalt not.” Because of such holy demands and their uniqueness, the Jews were usually considered outcasts.

A substantial Jewish rebellion against Rome was prompted in A.D. 66 when a Jew-hater dumped a pot of urine outside a synagogue. Jews were rightly furious at this desecration, and a riot broke out during which some Jews insulted the Roman Governor of Judea. He ordered his soldiers to destroy the market and kill everyone in sight. What had been occasional acts of rebellion became a full-scale national revolt. It was all downhill from there. Josephus reported that 40,000 Jews were killed in Jotapata, a city he was defending as a Jewish leader. He wrote, “From one end of Galilee to the other, there was an orgy of fire and bloodshed.”

Fighting continued, and in A.D. 70, the Roman Army destroyed Jerusalem, including their sacred Temple, killing more than 1 million Jews. About 100,000 Jews were taken into slavery, thousands sent to the mines, and thousands scattered over the known world. All because of a pot of warm urine! A second rebellion in 135 caused by a false Messiah resulted in 500,000 more Jews being killed.

The Roman Empire experienced more opposition when Jews were forbidden to read the Torah, circumcise their sons, and other restrictions. When Emperor Constantine the Great (more appropriately, Constantine the Hypocrite) published his Edict of Milan in 315, providing tolerance to Christians, Jews discovered they lost some rights. With Constantine’s Council of Nicaea, the first worldwide religious conclave in 325, Jews lost the right of Sabbath worship and the right to Roman citizenship. Constantine said, “Let us then have nothing in common with the detestable Jewish crowd.”

Constantine couldn’t make up his mind whether he was a preacher or a potentate, so he was pathetic as both. He was not a Bible believer, trusting in his empty, powerless reasoning, but his legs were not long enough to straddle the chasm between reason and revelation!

Another Roman Emperor issued the Edict of Theodosius in 391, declaring that Christianity was the only legal religion in the Roman Empire, bringing more pressure and persecution to Jews, although relief to Christians. Many Jewish synagogues had been destroyed earlier under the fiction that the land was “necessary.” By the end of the sixth century, Jewish children in Spain over seven years old were removed from their parents and educated as “Christians.”

No one, however bigoted, can defend such treatment.

Jewish persecution has been extensive, excessive, and always egregious but never excusable. However, the killing of Christ is not the only cause of such hatred since the persecutors had no real commitment to Christ. In many European nations, Jews were forbidden to own property, so they often became wealthy bankers. They were charged with usury which triggered envy, jealousy, and hatred. They spoke a strange language and usually kept to themselves, resulting in wild accusations followed by additional persecution.

Since Jews were “different,” “strange,” and “reserved,” they were convenient scapegoats to explain bad weather, accidents, wars, and plagues. The fear, envy, and hatred prompted massive persecution, torture, ghettoization, and massacre even from professing Christians. But then, no real Christian would do such a thing—but some Popes did.

During these problems, persecutions, and prosecutions of the Jewish people, it must be remembered that these were done by a state church run by religious tyrants or secular bigoted rulers, not by genuine, committed Christians teaching the truth in love to every man, especially “to the Jew first.”

Martin Luther defended Jews in his early ministry; however, he turned violently against them as he got older. He answered the question, “What shall we Christians do with this rejected and condemned people, the Jews,” and his reply has been used by the haters for centuries. “First, to set fire to their synagogues or schools…This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians …”

Luther was a brilliant, informed scholar who helped change the world, but his tirade against Jews is proof that Christians are also very human and often do evil. I wonder if he ever repented of his folly.

Luther then suggested Jewish houses be “razed and destroyed.” Their prayer books and Talmudic writings should be taken from them. Moreover, their rabbis should be forbidden to teach “on pain of loss of life and limb …” Luther suggested that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews “for they have no business in the countryside …” Then all “cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them …” Lastly, he suggested they be ejected from the country if there is reason to be fearful of them.

It should be noted that no German or European ruler implemented all of Luther’s suggestions. However, there is no doubt Jew-haters including some German Nazis for centuries used his statements to anger, abuse, and assault Jews,

Luther was a good, great, and even godly man, which only proves that good, great, and godly men can do and say ungodly, stupid things at times.

Often, the Jewish people almost invited persecution by their own actions, and I’ll be criticized for saying that. But then, burning at the stake has gone out of fashion, so I’ll survive.

Jews have financed wars charging kings and ordinary people outrageous interest; moreover, the Talmud (not an inspired book) is full of hatred, filth, and shameful charges against Christians and Gentiles. (But, then, I am not supposed to relate that fact since it will offend some Jews—but not honest Jews.)

The Talmud is a book that Jews have difficulty defending. Talmud normally refers to Babylonian Talmud, although there is also an earlier collection known as the Jerusalem Talmud compiled in the 4th century in Galilee. The popular Babylonian Talmud was compiled about the year A.D. 500.

Even some Jews are critical of the Talmud, as are many others with good cause. There is much anti-Christian and anti-Gentile content, but it was not the Torah that taught the Jews to criticize and hate Gentiles. The Talmud is also accused of absurd, immoral content and distorting Scripture. Orthodox Jews and, to a lesser extent, Conservative Judaism accept the Talmud as authoritative but have difficulty defending its implacable hatred of all non-Jews.

Jews brought much criticism to themselves because of their unusual influence in violent revolutions in France and Russia. Jews in Russia during the early 20th century occupied many leading positions, although they made up only a small percentage of the population.

Communism, as espoused by Karl Marx (also a Jew who died in 1883), got its impetus when a sealed train left Zurich, Switzerland on April 9, 1917, carrying 32 Russians (including Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin) through wartime Germany. Lenin had lived in Switzerland since 1900 as an exile.

Germany was losing WW I and saw a chance to cause further havoc in Russia by permitting Lenin’s return to Russia following their almost leaderless revolution in March (now sputtering and leaderless). In March, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated, and he and his family were butchered by the revolutionaries. Russia was in turmoil and praying for a strong leader.

He was already on the train.

Lenin’s train included 19 members of his Bolshevik Party and six Jewish members of the Jewish Labor Bund. Almost half the passengers on the train were Jewish. In less than a year, Vladimir Lenin would be running Russia following the bloody revolution in November led by him and Bolshevik revolutionaries.

The train took Lenin to Petrograd (now St. Petersburg), and that train ride is the most critical and relevant one in history. It took 8 days to travel 2,000 miles taking Lenin from relative obscurity in a cheap Zurich apartment to the absolute leader of Russia. His return to Russia turned their sputtering revolt into the world-shattering Russian Revolution. Millions died because of that train trip.

That was when a major train wreck would have been an enormous benefit to the world.

Jews were by far the largest group involved in the Bolshevik (Russian) Revolution. Half of some revolutionary committees in Russia were Jews, and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn declared that half of the secret police were Jews. He confessed, “Without Jews, there never would have been Bolshevism. For a Jew, nothing is more insulting than the truth. The bloodthirsty Jewish terrorists have murdered sixty-six million in Russia from 1918 to 1957.” While a world-renowned hero, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and survivor of the Soviet gulag, Solzhenitsyn received much flack for his revelation about Jewish influence.

In an article in the Illustrated Sunday Herald in 1920, Winston Churchill emphasized the Jewish role in the Russian Revolution, declaring it “probably outweighs [the role] of all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews.” And Lenin’s grandfather was a Jew.

Thousands of Jews were executed in Stalin’s purges in the 1930s, not because they were Jews but because Stalin was a paranoid killer who mistrusted everyone. Jews multiplied in the Russian leadership, not because they were Jews, but because they showed more enthusiasm and commitment to the cause.

Small-minded men hated Jews and envied their success as they do today, not realizing the foul breath of prejudice, bigotry, and hate are deadly to the soul.

Biden’s Socialism Will Take America Back to the Horse and Buggy Days—or Further! https://donboys.cstnews.com/bidens-socialism-will-take-america-back-to-the-horse-and-buggy-days-or-further https://donboys.cstnews.com/bidens-socialism-will-take-america-back-to-the-horse-and-buggy-days-or-further#respond Wed, 26 May 2021 14:47:20 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=2857 Polls indicate that most Americans led by the younger generations have a fuzzy, freakish, friendly feeling toward Socialism, proving that most young Americans are dumb as dirt. Additionally, it proves my generation did not do a good job rearing our own children. A 2019 Gallup poll found that over half of Americans believe some form of Socialism would be good for the country.

While 35 percent of respondents of the Data for Progress tracking poll believe “some form of Socialism is a good thing, a slightly higher percentage (38 percent) believe Socialism would be a bad thing in the United States. The remaining 27 percent of respondents report no opinion.” That is incredible. Only 38 percent see danger in Socialism! The 27 percent with no opinion will follow the money and freebies since they obviously have no moral, philosophical, or political problem with Socialism. However, British Prime Minister Thatcher understood government freebies saying, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” Then, it’s all over.

America, we have a problem.

Socialism kills. Demographer Rudolph Rummel estimated the human toll of twentieth-century Socialism to be “about 61 million in the Soviet Union, 78 million in China, and roughly 200 million worldwide.”

Socialism is the preliminary entrée to totalitarian Communism that advocates the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution by the community as a whole, usually through a centralized government. Socialists are less extreme and promise state control of the economy, bringing greater equality to everyone but don’t admit it will be at the expense of personal liberty.

The end result of democratic Socialism always means a bigger government with attending regulation and control. Since Socialism is a welfare government, it always results in high taxation, as seen in Sweden (53%), Norway (38%), Denmark (55%), etc. Most Socialist nations provide a guaranteed income, at least for the unemployed, free education including college, and free national health care with all its attendant problems. But then, nothing is free.

Since government knows best, they take control of the utilities. While Socialists don’t nationalize private businesses, they use regulations to avoid “exploitation” of the consumers. So, Socialists permit private ownership but seek to redistribute the wealth by forcing successful entrepreneurs to pay for all the “free” stuff.

We are told the collective (government) can do a better and more equitable job of providing the peoples’ needs than free enterprise; however, no one has proved that the government is supposed to do that. Most early Americans believed the government’s responsibility is to mint the money and provide for our safety against any enemy and let us take care of almost everything else.

But the era of big government has been with us for a long time. Politicians learned long ago that most people can be bought with the right goodies: cell phones, free rent, food stamps, free health care, guaranteed job, guaranteed minimum wage, chicken in every pot, etc. When hard times arrive, it is even easier to convince the citizens of the value of Socialism as they begin to think that maybe earlier generations were too hardheaded, stubborn, ignorant, etc.

More Americans support socialist goodies but reject Socialism proving they are idiots. They are playing mind games, thinking Socialism is not so bad if it is not called Socialism. But as Shakespeare said, “A rose by any other name is still a rose.” Americans split on whether we should have a free market economy or one that is government-controlled. They have forgotten that government is the great bungler, not the great leader or fixer.

Whatever the kind or degree of Socialism, it always works the same for the average guy: he pays through the nose. The guy on the street is the loser, while the top Socialist honchos run everything from the top. The plan is for everyone to live at the expense of everyone else, but that doesn’t work. The leaders skim the cream off the top, and you end up with skim milk.

That quickly gets sour.

Socialism is welfare, and welfare is Socialism and Socialism is Communism in amateur disguise. Whatever it is called, it is a totalitarian government with a heel on the neck of Americans. Ayn Rand was right when she declared, “The difference between a welfare state and a totalitarian state is a matter of time.”

But it starts with Socialism.

Russia was known as the “United Soviet Socialist Republic”; Germany was controlled by the “National Socialist German Workers’ Party.” The original Communist Party of Cuba formed in the 1920s but changed its name in 1944 to the “Popular Socialist Party” for political purposes—to confuse the voters.

Don’t be misled; Communists have planned for decades to make America an unfree nation beginning with Socialism then naturally morphing into Communism. Communism is simply the natural extension of Socialism. Whether Socialism or Communism, freedom is lost by the individuals for the “collective good.” The people surrendered everything to get a little. The old saying is true: if your government is big enough to give you everything you want, it is big enough to take everything you have.

Communism was developed by Karl Marx, who turned the various classes in Russia against each other. He taught democracy was the enemy of the working class and workers should unite and overthrow the privileged leaders permitting workers to rule. However, the workers ruled nothing and paid subservience to Communist overlords. That’s how it works.

In overthrowing capitalism, the free enterprise principle is lost. The new economy becomes controlled by the state, and industry is owned and managed by the government rather than by private individuals. Prices and wages are set and enforced by the state, and trade unions are forbidden, and banks are owned by the state. This happened under Marx’s leadership in Russia in the Russian Revolution in 1917 when Lenin and then Stalin also cracked down on individual liberty and removed all forms of democracy. Government bureaucrats even demanded production levels in industry and agriculture, even telling farmers what and how much to plant. Personal advancement was almost impossible. After all, everyone has to be equal—in misery, that is.

It would be highly worthwhile to investigate Stalin’s purposefully induced famine in Ukraine in 1932 and 1933 when about 4 million Ukrainians were starved to death. During this scheduled famine, The New York Times ridiculed the possibility of it, picking up a Pulitzer Prize for articles debunking the famine. Even Liberals demanded the Times return the prize, but they refused.

A quick definition of Communism is a loss of personal freedom and a massive amount of regulation, repression, and ruin to homes, churches, schools, industry, and society.

It is shocking that American capitalists, to their eternal shame, love commerce more than they loath Communism. The Chamber of Commerce no longer represents freedom, independence, entrepreneurship, but greedy crony capitalism. A good example is their support of flooding the states with uneducated, unsophisticated, and often un-American aliens to work the farms doing work “that Americans won’t do.” What they should say is “that Americans won’t do for starvation wages.”

But, facing starvation, most men will work to survive. That goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden.

When people have an abnormal desire for free stuff, they are on the slippery slope toward Socialism that often ends to Communism. However, it can branch into Fascism as it did in Germany and Italy. Most Fascists hate Communism, but it doesn’t make much difference to the enslaved people whether the heel on their neck is a Communist or Fascist heel.

Both Hitler and Stalin were tyrants who hated each other and killed many millions of innocent people. While both were called Socialists, Hitler hated Communism. Hitler, like his buddy Mussolini, was a Fascist, but, in the end, whether one lived in Russia, Germany, or Italy, he lived under totalitarianism.

The term “fascism” is derived from the word “fasces,” a bundle of rods about five feet in length containing an ax with the blade projecting, carried before Roman magistrates as an emblem of official power. In ancient Rome, the bodyguards of a magistrate carried fasces. It was adopted by Benito Mussolini to symbolize his Fascist movement. For many years, the fasces appeared on the reverse of the U. S. Mercury dime.

I define Fascism as a political philosophy that exalts a nation and often a race above the individual. It stands for a centralized, repressive government headed by a dogmatic, domineering, and dictatorial leader who usually takes control of various government agencies (especially the media) and controls private businesses. Opposition is usually forcibly suppressed, often beginning with labor unions and making strikes illegal.

Numerous wealthy capitalists have no love for freedom, free enterprise, and entrepreneurship since they have already taken advantage of those concepts to make their pile. They become crony capitalists and are not competent or honest enough to see that Socialism steals while Communism kills.

At this time, corporations are openly meeting and coordinating efforts to produce more “progressive” laws and encouraging government control of businesses—and that is clearly Fascism. Mussolini said, “Fascism should rightly be called corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.” It is impossible to define Fascism to everyone’s satisfaction since it is like nailing jello to the wall.

Bloomberg reported April 11, 2021, on an extraordinary meeting of a group of 100 chief executives and other leaders of major U.S. corporations that “held an hour-long Zoom call on Saturday to discuss ways to push for greater voting access amid new restrictions enacted or pending in Georgia, Texas and other states.” The business leaders decided to promote the progressive agenda especially fighting the GOP’s effort to make voting more responsible. Of course, they use the word restrictive. They want to restrict or limit investment in cities and states that are not cooperative with progressivism. That would seem to make corporations a mirror government.

What a slippery slope!

The point is big business is making a connection with big government, a definite indication of Fascism. Whatever the label, you will have a foot on your face and pay the price if you are a producer. You had better get ready to “share” your hard-earned cash with the losers, and loafers, and the lackeys.

NYC Mayor de Blasio admitted, “I like to say very bluntly, our mission is to redistribute wealth.” He is a known Socialist, but many New Yorkers consider him a Marxist. Whatever, since Democrats have seized control of a once-great nation, de Blasio and Biden are trying to move the wealth from those who have it to those who do not have it.

Hail to the thief!

What’s-her-name Harris is one of the most dangerous politicians to ever press her snout into the public feeding trough. Her incredible statement should shock and anger every American when she says equal outcomes of government programs should be the goal of public policy. That statement makes every Communist in Russia, China, and Cuba stand up and cheer. No sensible person argues that any government program must treat everyone equally, but it is insane, ineffective, and impossible to guarantee equal results. That can’t happen because of the vast differences in people—their ambitions, aptitudes, their abilities; but she demands equal results!

It’s not only young Americans who are dumb as dirt.

Our government cannot refuse certain benefits to individuals because they are female, Hispanic, black, handicapped, uneducated, Muslim, Baptist, etc., since that would be unequal treatment contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment. Neither can any state or federal government promise that participating in a particular college or work program will result in the same income as any other participant.

After all, people have different abilities.

Harris said, “There’s a big difference between equality and equity.” True, but if any government promised definite results, then it would have to treat others unfairly to have the same results for everyone. A government mandate to promote equal results would give the government power to violate individual rights in order to achieve identical social results for all people.

Non-thinking Americans think they can kill the golden goose and still collect golden eggs. If they kill the free enterprise system (the goose), they will destroy the goodies it has produced (the golden eggs). We will end up back in the horse and buggy days, having to pull our own buggy.

And we may end up without a horse or a buggy, with only the buggy whip as a reminder of what we used to have.

Darwinian Evolution: Basis for Racism! https://donboys.cstnews.com/darwinian-evolution-basis-for-racism https://donboys.cstnews.com/darwinian-evolution-basis-for-racism#respond Mon, 22 Oct 2018 13:18:03 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=2227 Charles Darwin and his devotees were not only pseudo-scientists, but they were also radical, rabid racists! Ernst Haeckel, a contemporary and fanatical supporter of Darwin, was a German biologist who laid the foundation of racism and imperialism that resulted in Hitler’s racist regime.

Edward Simon, a Jewish biology professor at Purdue University, wrote, “I don’t claim that Darwin and his theory of evolution brought on the holocaust; but I cannot deny that the theory of evolution, and the atheism it engendered, led to the moral climate that made a holocaust possible.”

Because I want to be balanced, honest, and factual, I am forced to include here that the ravings against the Jews of one of the world’s greatest, most principled men, Martin Luther also added fuel to the fire. All great men do a few stupid things in their lives because they are flawed creatures.

I wonder what the current “moral climate” is doing to students in public schools as they are taught they came from animals and are without any purpose in life? Could the incredible number and depth of our social problems be the result of Darwinism? I am convinced this is so, for if one believes that life has no purpose, and man came from beasts, then dignity, fairness, kindness, honesty, faithfulness, honor, and justice have no relevance and importance.

A well-known evolutionist Sir Arthur Keith assessed Darwin’s impact on Hitler and Germany: “We see Hitler devoutly convinced that evolution produces the only real basis for a national policy….The means he adopted to secure the destiny of his race and people were (sic) organized slaughter which has drenched Europe in blood.” Keith asserted, “Hitler (was) an uncompromising evolutionist, and we must seek for an evolutionary explanation if we are to understand his action.”

In Hitler: A Study in Tyranny, Alan Bullock wrote: “The basis of Hitler’s political beliefs was a crude Darwinism.” Adolph was aghast at Christianity’s rejection of Darwin’s theory. Hitler declared that “Its [Christianity] teaching was a rebellion against the natural law of selection by struggle and the survival of the fittest.”

Hannah Arendt wrote in her 1951 classic, The Origins of Totalitarianism, “Underlying the Nazis’ belief in race laws as the expression of the law of nature in man, is Darwin’s idea of man as the product of a natural development which does not necessarily stop with the present species of human being.”

John Toland’s Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography says this of Hitler’s Second Book written in 1928 but not published until after his suicide in his underground bunker within hours after his marriage to Eva Braun: “An essential of Hitler’s conclusions in this book was the conviction drawn from Darwin that might makes right.”

The unreasonable, unbiblical, unscientific philosophy of Darwin and his disciples laid a foundation for hundreds of years of hatred, barbarity, and unbelief reaching into the future and impacting millions of innocent lives.

If Darwin were alive today, he would be hooted out of the scientific community because he was not a trained scientist and because of his outrageous views about black people. Darwin thought that Blacks were closer to man’s ape “ancestors” than the white race! Wonder what the race baiters think of that?

Darwin’s disciple T. H. Huxley wrote, “It may be quite true that some negroes [sic] are better than some white men, but no rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average negro [sic] is the equal, still less the superior, of the average white man….The highest places in the hierarchy of civilization will assuredly not be within the reach of our dusky cousins….” (I inserted sic in the above places not because he used the term Negro but because he did not capitalize it.)

“Dusky cousins!” How would that be received down at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People? But it gets worse. Henry Osborne, who was professor of biology and zoology at Columbia University, said that Blacks were further back on the evolutionary ladder (nearer the apes) than Whites, and “The standard of intelligence of the average adult Negro is similar to that of the eleven-year-old youth of the species Homo sapiens.” Blacks aren’t human! Wow! The most KKK nut doesn’t believe that!

Edwin Conklin (died 1975), Professor of Biology at Princeton University and president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, said that Blacks had not evolved as far as Whites and “Every consideration should lead those who believe in the superiority of the white race to strive to preserve its purity and to establish and maintain the segregation of the races, for the longer this is maintained, the greater the preponderance of the white race will be.” Well, maybe that was the reason Ed never received a lifetime Achievement Award from the NAACP. Too bad.

The major haters of the last 100 years have been evolutionists. Men like Nietzsche (who often said God was dead, called for the breeding of a master race and for the annihilation of millions of misfits), Hitler, Mussolini, Marx, Engels, and Stalin were all outspoken evolutionists. Darwin’s dangerous book is credited for making mass killer Joseph Stalin an atheist and evolutionist.

Few people know Stalin was first an evolutionist then a revolutionist drenching Eastern Europe in blood. He was baptized after his birth in 1878 into the Russian Orthodox Church and at age ten enrolled in the Gori Church School where he found Darwin’s book on a shelf. He read it and began to doubt all religious truth, but at 16 he enrolled in the Spiritual Seminary in Tiflis. There he joined 600 trainee priests who lived at the seminary. His twisted evolutionary teaching helped turn him into a master monster of murder–killing 20 to 60 millions of people and spreading Communist hatred around the world.

E. Yaroslavsky, a close friend of Stalin, wrote about this in his Landmarks in the Life of Stalin, “At a very early age, while still a pupil in the ecclesiastical school, Comrade Stalin developed a critical mind and revolutionary sentiments. He began to read Darwin and became an atheist.” So, Joe Stalin attended two church schools and became an unbelieving Communist because of Darwin’s book.

Found in a church school!

Shortly after The Origin of Species was published, Friedrich Engels wrote to Karl Marx, “Darwin, whom I am just now reading, is splendid.” About a year later Karl Marx, responded, “During my time of trial, these last few weeks, I have read all sorts of things. Among others, Darwin’s book of Natural Selection,…this is the book which contains the basis in natural history for our view.”

These people and their theories have been responsible for the slaughter of multi-millions of people, and the destruction of freedom all over the earth. It is amazing that so many liberals, radicals, fascists, communists, and the easily impressed worship at Darwin’s shrine.

Obviously, the foundation of racism, hatred, and violence in the last hundred years is based in evolutionary teaching of the last one hundred and fifty years. This, coupled with not understanding that all people are created in God’s image and are to be respected until they prove by their actions that they are rebels against God and society made racism inevitable.
