The People’s View

On November 18, 1956 Khrushchev said, in regard to the West, “We will bury you”.

In 1960 he ordered the building of the Berlin Wall. The wall became the ultimate symbol of the enslavement of Eastern Europe under the boot of Communism. The Cold War had been going on since the end of World War I and escalated dramatically in the aftermath of World War II. The development (and use) of nuclear weapons started and arms race between the superpowers which kept the terrified public hiding under desks well into the 1960’s and fueled propaganda on both sides well into the 80’s.

In 1987 President Ronald Reagan implored “General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

A product of the prolonged Berlin crisis period from 1958 to 1962, the Berlin Wall came to symbolize the Cold War division of Germany and the world between the communist and noncommunist blocs.

Having repeatedly threatened since November 1958 to end Western rights in West Berlin, the Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev and the East German leader Walter Ulbricht sought a way to stabilize the East German economy, which was being undermined by a growing flow of refugees leaving through West Berlin. Just after midnight on 13 August 1961 Soviet and East German troops sealed the border between East and West Berlin. Within weeks, the initial barbed wire was replaced with a concrete wall. In response, President John F. Kennedy judged that so long as Western rights in West Berlin were not being directly challenged the United States could not interfere, a decision that led to widespread criticism of American inaction.

The wall itself—constructed of concrete, seven and a half miles long, and twelve feet high—was part of a 102-mile system of fortifications encircling West Berlin. The fortifications were built in stages and included military watchtowers, tripwires, and minefields. A constant stream of escape attempts highlighted the repression of the Communist regime. When West German protesters breached the wall on 9 November 1989, it provided the Cold War’s symbolic end. Few remnants remain of this once sinister symbol of the Cold War.

Soviet Leaders had lots of foresight and we are still fighting to maintain our freedom 20 years after the fall of that wall…………….

– When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use. Joseph Stalin

– It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. Joseph Stalin

– Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.

I believe he was talking about turning our country into a communist nation. They planned to do this by infiltrating the education systems, who then would indoctrinate our professors, who then would indoctrinate our youth, etc. Here ate the 10 planks of the communist manifesto, look familiar?

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.

According to the Communist Manifesto, all these were prior conditions for a transition from capitalism to communism (but Marx and Engels later expressed a desire to modernize this passage).

Currently we are seeing the culmination of those objectives happening right in front of our eyes.

Our current leadership is the product of the anti-government, anti-war, free-love, tune-in, turn-on, drop-out 60’s and have embraced those communist ideals to the fullest. Our own government is doing what the Soviets couldn’t, destroying our country, culture, economy and future from within.

They have taken over huge portions of the banking system, the auto industry and the power industry. Spending and debt are out of control and taxes are being raised to levels that will prevent investment and growth. The health care industry is also being threatened by the same government that handles MediCare and Medicaid with such efficiency. So much of our population now receives government handouts that they can’t/don’t know how to survive without that support and the government run schools continue to teach that dependence on others instead of personal responsibility. There are now 37(or 38) CZARs appointed to oversee different aspects of the new society that have no congressional oversight and answer only to President Barak Hussein Obama. By the way…….. NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE ALLOWED BY THE CONSTITUTION. The government just takes a step into your life/privacy/business for the good of society and each small step readies the population for the next one. They will continue to step farther unless we stop them and make them stay within their Constitutional limitations.

The Wall is being re-built right here in the United States of America. It isn’t as visible as the one in Berlin, but it is more ominous because most of the sheeple don’t see it.

Our politicians need to hear our outrage on a regular basis and know that we will campaign/vote them out of office if they continue to promote Socialist/Communist policies and laws. Contact your representatives at least weekly to voice your opinion.

MR. SENATOR/REPRESENTATIVE, DON’T BUILD THIS WALL!!!!
