Flora Gill is a pervert. She is a propagandist for sexual perversion, for cultural marxist dreck, all under the guise of a freelance journalist.
But it is far worse than just that.
Last week, she tweeted the following:
Of course, she deleted the tweet following the momentous backlash that broke out across the Internet. As of press time (August 4th, 2021), she has not posted anything on Twitter.
Her temporary silence is not enough, of course.
This sick, demented woman needs to be canceled.
She actually tried to defend herself by sweeping this perverse tweet under the rug, as if it were some casual accident:
apropos of nothing I really think if someone quickly deletes a tweet, it shouldn't be screenshotted and shared like... just let it die, you know? no? no one else agree?
Let me be clear: I am OK with cancel culture when we are talking about cancelling evil, or get rid of disgraceful, damaging, and dangerous things in the public square.
Children and adults alike should roundly denounce this despicable woman.
She clearly hates children. She hates adults, she despises authorities, and her complete contempt for what is moral and good is just so striking, and how brazen she is in the midst of it all, is deeply troubling.
To push pornography on children, that is a crime.
This woman's criminal antics need to be shut down immediately.
First, send her a comment directly to denounce her perverse evil and child endangerment. Click here.

Pro Democracy Activists in Hong Kong are
Pro-Gay and Pro-Che?!
In previous posts, I have reported that the so-called pro-democracy movement has some very anti-democratic elements with it.
First, I pointed out that Joshua Wong, the self-described youth leader assisting with the democracy movement, has admitted to some very socialistic thinking and positions. He believes that capitalist hegemony must be confronted, whatever that means.
Joshua Wong
He is also militant pro-homosexual and transgender. He supporters the Sexual Orientation (Anti-)Discrimination Ordinances, which would grant so-called rights (in reality, more privileges and pre-eminence) to homosexuals and transgenders in the Special Administrative Region.
If anyone has been paying attention to the widespread consequences of the LGBT movement around the world, they know that the LGBT juggernaut brings in its wake more government control and statist sanction, i.e. more tyranny, not less. How many free-thinking individuals in Hong Kong will face persecution, fines, even imprisonment for speaking out against homosexuality and transgenderism?
These behaviors are inherently destructive and deviant, they post untold costs on the public, they undermine human capital, and the harm the political, cultural, and moral legacies of any country.
Why would pro-democracy activists want to undermine the natural rights they seek to enhance?
Jimmy Sham, Hong Kong Gay "Rights" Activist
And of course, there's Jimmy Sham, the militant LGBT activist who has gone to every length to connect the push for democratic governance in Hong Kong with the greater push to normalize and promote the LGBT agenda.
And now look at the strange(r) bedfollows (no pun intended) that Mr. Sham is keeping:
The young man in the featured photo above on the right is Jimmy Sham.
On the left, you can see that the other man is wearing a shirt sporting the headshot of bloodthirsty Communist Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
Why would any pro-democracy activist dare to promote Che Guevara?!
Che Guevara was a pampered, middle-class Argentinian brat who went full commie to make something of himself. He was responsible for unprecedented blooshed and mayhem against freedom-fighters around the world. He was pro-China, pro-Beijing, pro-tyranny.
Don't believe me? Check out this photo:
Che Guevara in the center with Chairman Mao
And here's Che Guevara warmly greeting Mao ZeDong:
Why would any pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong celebrate a communist thug who was friendly with the Chinese Communist Party?! Mao ZeDong is the father and architect of the Chinese Communist Party? Why would any pro-democracy activist celebrate Che Guevara?!
Ernesto "Che" Guevara routinely executed political opponents.
He lived off the work of others, doing nothing for others in return.
He was ultimately executed by firing squard, begging for his life, pleading with them that he was worth more to his "capitalist" captors alive. He was ready to sell out the Communist dream he had fought for for years just to keep himself alive and well.
Che Guevara was certainly no democrat! A ruthless autocrat who imposed the religion of materialist envy and strife on the impoverished island nation of Cuba, Guevara should not be celebrated in any fashion.
Aren't these Hong Kong activists supposed to be against The Communist Party of China? Aren't they supposed to oppose any promotion of Communism? This a sickening display of strange bedfollows, indeed.
The Hong Kong pro-democracy movement is pro-gay and now pro-CHE!
Unreal. Unacceptable. Unconscionable!
People of Hong Kong need to wake up! They need to promote liberty and constitutional rule, meaning that the natural rights of all are protected from both the majority as well as the tyranny of the minority. Democratic governance is nothing more than mob rule when there are no strictures in place to protect the rights of all citizens, nor to ensure that constitutional rule is in place to protect those rights and limit the role of the government.
What we are witnessing in Hong Kong, sadly, is a promotion of demagoguery under the guise of anti-Beijing rebellion. Why rebel against one Communist regime, only to usher in another one?
Peter LaBarbera, major ‘culture war’ fighter, joins MassResistance staff as we continue to expand
In the front-line battle, we’re raising the bar!
April 8, 2018
Peter LaBarbera is a top writer, speaker, and activist who doesn't back down. Here he's making a speech to a pro-family group in Wisconsin.
Peter LaBarbera, a premier front-line culture war fighter with a stellar career going back to the 1980s, has joined the MassResistance staff. “We are extremely fortunate to have Peter LaBarbera,” said Brian Camenker, president of MassResistance. “MassResistance has been expanding and we have needed someone of his caliber for a while. It will really bring our fight to a new level.”
These days, most people know Peter LaBarbera as president of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH), which has gained national stature. AFTAH will continue to post high-quality material on the LGBT issue, while working more closely with MassResistance.
“Pete truly understands this larger battle in a fundamental way that 95% of today’s pro-family leaders and activists simply haven’t grasped,” said Camenker. “The power of truth and not backing down – fearlessness – is so fundamental. I can’t overstate how important that is when confronting the vicious and militant LGBT movement infiltrating our schools and society.”
After this year's "conservative" CPAC convention banned MassResistance for being too aggressively pro-family, Peter LaBarbera went inside with a camera crew. He interviewed this cross-dressing man who, along with some others, was stridently promoting "transgender conservatives" at CPAC -- without any pushback from the CPAC organizers.
It goes without saying that Pete is despised and vilified by the LGBT movement. Yet he is not afraid to go into their events or be interviewed in their media.
A stellar background
Peter LaBarbera is not only a top tier activist, writer, researcher, and spokesman in the front-line “culture war” battles. It’s also noteworthy that he was in this before almost anybody else in today’s pro-family movement (including Brian Camenker)!
Starting in 1984 he served as a contributing editor and reporter at Human Events,specializing in investigative articles on various hot-button political issues. (1984-2005)
After graduating from the University of Michigan, Pete began working for the late Reed Irvine, the ground-breaking conservative media critic, at Accuracy in Media.He edited and wrote for their publications Washington Inquirer and AIM Report,exposing and analyzing liberal bias in the media. He saw the genesis of what has become the LGBT stranglehold on the national media. (1985-1987)
At the Washington Times he worked as a reporter covering a range of national and international public policy issues. He interviewed Senators, Congressmen, and foreign leaders, and traveled to Central America to cover the Nicaraguan Contra freedom fighters (who were backed by President Reagan). (1987-1990)
Then in 1990, as a freelance reporter in Nicaragua, Pete was almost alone in predicting the stunning electoral victory of Violeta Chamorro over Marxist Sandinista candidate Daniel Ortega – when almost the entire secular media assumed Ortega would win.
Back in Washington, DC, he then moved to Concerned Women for America,where he helped launch their monthly magazine Family Voice (at one point interviewing Vice President Dan Quayle) and also edited other CWA publications. He covered confrontational pro-life and pro-family activist events around the country. (1990-1993)
In 1993, after writing a piece for CWA on the rapidly escalating “gay” agenda, Pete began publishing The Lambda Report, a quarterly newspaper documenting the growing homosexual activist movement across the country – using homosexual sources. During its five-year run, it was a must-read for anyone who wanted to really know what was happening. It’s still considered the “gold standard” for reporting on that issue because of its thoroughness, yet clear easy-to-read journalistic style. (Unfortunately, it’s not available online.)
The Lambda Report from the 1990s is still considered the "gold standard" of reporting on this issue.
In 1996 Pete founded Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH), a non-profit educational organization. Over the years AFTAH has provided valuable research to the pro-family movement and exposed a wide range of horrors, some so repulsive that they almost couldn’t be published!
Outside the PFLAG booth at a San Fransisco "gay" event. PFLAG has chapters in school districts across the country and says it's a group where "gay" youth and their parents can feel comfortable. Pete took this photo of what really goes on. PHOTO: AFTAH.
For example, he covered BDSM conventions in major hotels and graphic homosexual “street fairs” in San Francisco (featuring nudity, sex acts, sadomasochism, and open perversion) to reveal the true character of homosexuality. As a result of his truth-telling, homosexual militants have viciously smeared Pete across the Internet, but he has not flinched at all!
"Gay pride" -- behind the scenes. At the "Folsom Street Fair" in San Fransisco, a man allows himself to be strapped to poles while another man whips him. Other photos (which we're not publishing) show the resulting cuts and blood from the whipping. The event was supported by a number of prominent "gay" groups, and even major corporations. PHOTO: AFTAH
In 1997 Pete was recruited to join Family Research Council. It was quite an exciting time. He was part of their dynamic Culture Watch group, led by Bob Knight. This robust team did very hard-hitting reporting on the homosexual agenda. They wrote in-depth reports for distribution on Capitol Hill and appeared on major media talk shows – and ruffled a lot of feathers among the establishment. (1997-1999)
He also began contributing to WND.com, particularly their print magazine Whistleblower, where he wrote several groundbreaking articles on religious liberty and the growing transgender movement. (1999-present)
The following year the Culture Watch team got reassembled at Concerned Women for America’s offices across town when Sandy Rios was president. They continued their no-holds-barred reporting in CWA’s Culture & Family Reportnewsletter. But later, CWA (along with others in the pro-family and conservative establishment) became less aggressive on confronting the homosexual agenda and started focusing on other issues. (2000-2003)
Pete moved back to the Chicago area and became Executive Director of the Illinois Family Institute (IFI). He resuscitated the IFI website and used media and networking to build the group’s grassroots presence, and IFI became more active in confronting the homosexual agenda. (2003-2006)
In the 2000’s, Pete was also a regular speaker for the Focus on the Family traveling ministry, “Love Won Out.” The project sought to bring the truth that people can overcome homosexuality to churches across the country. He spoke for Focus and LWO on the extreme LGBT agenda in the schools. But in 2009, Focus began to abandon its strong advocacy on this issue and transferred LWO to an “ex-gay” ministry (which was unfortunately subverted by pro-“gay” forces and fell apart).
Pete also briefly worked at LifeSiteNews (LSN) as a reporter covering the LGBT movement, bringing his unique knowledge and professional writing skills to that dynamic site. You can view all his LSN articles here. (2016-2017)
VIDEO:Peter LaBarbera speaks at Texas MassResistance last year.
Appearing in a lot of media
One of Pete’s major skills is dealing with the media. Too many times, when pro-family conservatives are in front of a camera (especially Fox News), they compromise their principles and generally wimp out under pressure. Not Pete!
Over the years he has represented the front-line pro-family movement in over 1,000 media interviews. These include:
TV/Radio: FOX “Hannity and Colmes”; the Sean Hannity radio show; BBC; CNN “Larry King Show”; C-SPAN; NPR “All Things Considered”; “Bill O’Reilly Radio Show”; CNN “Crossfire”; WGN, Barry Lynn show. Print: Associated Press, Reuters, Washington Post, Washington Times, New York Times, Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, National Journal. Conservative media: LifeSiteNews, CNSnews.com, WND.com, USA Radio News.
Pete is particularly good in Christian media. He is regularly interviewed by American Family Association (AFA) hosts Janet Mefferd and Sandy Rios; AFA’s One News Now; AFA’s Bryan Fischer; WVCY America’s “Crosstalk” radio show; Dr. Michael Brown’s radio show; and SRN News (Salem Radio Network). In past years, he was frequently interviewed by Dr. James Dobson on his national “Focus on the Family” radio program and “Family News in Focus” (Focus’ radio news outlet). He was also interviewed on Janet Porter’s “Faith2Action” radio show; the late D. James Kennedy’s “Coral Ridge Hour”; “Point of View” (including by the late, great Marlin Maddoux); Moody Radio; and hundreds of other local radio shows.
Exposing Fox News. In 2013 Pete wrote a major 92-page report for Cliff Kincaid’s America's Survival titled, "Unfair, Unbalanced and Afraid: Fox News' Growing Pro-Homosexual Bias and the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association." You can read it online HERE. (Fox's pro-homosexual bias gotten even worse since then.)
As an added gem, Pete went through the National Journalism Center, the media training institute in Washington, DC founded by the late conservative icon M. Stanton Evans.
On top of all that, Pete has been married for 29 years and has five children.
I read your article about Kevin Spacey and Hollywood recently and couldn't agree with you more regarding the film "American Beauty." My wife and I were living in China when it came out and we heard about the film right around the time it won the Academy Award for best picture so we saw it a little later than most.
Your observations about the film, especially about the homosexual couple being the only redeeming characters in it were the same as mine. My wife summed it up best when she said to me after we watched it, "There was nothing edifying in that film at all." Thus, it got 4 Academy Awards.
Keep up the good fight. You inspire us like-minded individuals to stand up and not be afraid to speak up about what we believe in the face of the opposition's derision. Not always easy, but thanks for showing the way.
Tinseltown is no longer glittering.
The movie industry was already foundering because of technological advances in
media and entertainment. The latest string of flops pouring out of the studios has
signaled that Hollywood's malaise is bad, really bad this time. But it’s good
for us. The liberal, progressive agenda thrived on big money from media moguls
and movie stars. Moviegoers were funding this institution, which invested in
candidates and causes against our freedom, our traditional values, our constitution,
and our Judeo-Christian culture.
There is no better
representative of Hollywood’s epic down fall than Kevin Spacey. This actor
would sing, dance, and take on stage and screen in all kinds of acting
exploits. He had earned two Academy awards--Best Supporting Actor in The Usual Suspects; Best Actor in American Beauty--then became Artistic
Director for the Old Vic Theater. He had quite a repertoire.
Then came the allegations
of child molestation from Anthony Rapp, which followed the numerous women
lining up to single out producer Harvey Weinstein for his repeated and
long-term predatory behavior.
Spacey issued a press
release immediately, apologizing for these acts which he claims that he had
never done, but if he had done them, he was probably drunk at the time--oh, and
he had been bisexual and now decided to come out as a gay man. Yes, Kevin tried
to cover up for past pedophilia perversion by coming out of the closet.
The moral swamp of
sexual degeneracy is getting worse for Spacey. More actors are coming forward
announcing that he had made numerous unwanted advances toward them. Young men
who were minors are now recounting more devastating sexual assaults.
The consequences have
been swift and telling. Spacey has lost his Netflix miniseries "House of
Cards", which has folded up instead of going into its sixth season. The
Emmy Awards was going to have a tribute for him, but that has been cancelled.
There was even talk about another extravaganza on his behalf at the Academy Awards.
All of that has fallen
away.
Speaking of Academy
Awards ... should anyone be surprised that his private life has overwhelmed his
public persona with such duplicity? In The
Usual Suspects,he played a
down-and-out cerebral palsy stooge narrating a crime. The detective mocked him,
talked down to him, but suspected him of nothing more than being a big nothing.
Turns out at the end
that Spacey’s character was the mastermind for the whole crime, and every
aspect of the crime scene he narrated, he had drawn from objects and items in
the detective's office. It was a brilliant tour de force for Spacey: a con man
who conned law enforcement.
Consider how long Spacey
the actor got away with his perverse behavior and masterminded his way toward
getting away with it?
Then there's American Beauty.
The main character,
Lester Burnham played by Spacey, is a bored, empty, repressed suburban father.
Right away, all the brazen, Freudian Marxist stereotypes come to the forefront.
Married life is bad, sexual license is good. People should be able to sleep
with whomever they want to, and there is nothing wrong with that.
An explicit example of
this occurs when Father Burnham sexually pursues his daughter Jane's best
friend Angela. In an early scene, the father falls into lust with this young
girl during a cheerleader performance. As early as 1999, the movie industry was
glamorizing an adult sleeping with a minor!
That film should have
been called "American Ugly". It revealed Hollywood’s broken moral
compass spinning out of control, justifying everything contrary to sound moral
order. A homosexual couple living down the street from the Burnham family was
presented as the only real stable, loving "couple". The army veteran next
door (with mentally ill wife and drug-dealing son) was a closet homosexual. The
film showcased adultery, mockery of natural marriage and family, and then
glorified the natural yet destructive impulses in human beings.
Is this truly high class
or artistic? Did this film remotely reflect reality in any true fashion? Nope, but
in Sadistic fashion, this fiction outlined a moral treatise, one of decadence
and disdain as acceptable as long as people feel “free” or feel good.
What is troubling now is
that ONLY
NOW do movie goers and Spacey fans look at this scene and comment "This makes my skin crawl." Why didn't this adult-minor lust make
Hollywood elites sick to their stomachs 20 years ago?! Nevertheless,
Hollywood’s left-wing elites thought this film was a "beauty", and
they awarded Spacey the Best Actor Oscar. The film also won Best Picture, Best Director,
and Best Screenplay.
Today, lo and behold, we
now see in this film what has burst forth in Spacey's real life for everyone to
see. He had perversions within him, which had been spilling out for quite some
time. The first accusations against him had occurred 13 years prior to winning
his second Oscar. Should we be surprised as this long history? Not if we
recognize the fact that Spacey’s enabling peers was celebrating sexual abuse
and perversion on that stage. His acceptance speech highlighted significant
premonitions of what we have learned. His
first line? “This is the highlight of my day. I hope it
is not all downhill from here.”
Indeed.
It would go downhill
from there. His work titled toward less popular fare. He took over artistic
direction in a London theater, where he would prey on young men and boys. He
would then claim in his speech that viewers would see the good in Lester, even
though he did so much. He thanks his
mother for being his date--even then, people suspected that he was gay. Notice
also that Spacey never mentioned his father, who was an abusive Nazi,
literally.
Spacey's fall from Glitteratti
pre-eminence should not shock us, ultimately. How could anyone look at trash
like "American Beauty" and call it award-winning? Hollywood, and the
same coven of creeps and greedy moguls enabled and covered up for Spacey's
behavior for decades to follow.
Fellow Patriot Roger Ogden of San Diego is sending out the troops for this country. Marxist bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego is encouraging rank lawlessness, and encouraging his Catholic congregation to ignore federal law and thwart President Trump's clear and consistent agenda to deport illegal aliens and restore law and order, peace and safety to all communities. This bishop is either the true face of the Catholic Church, or a nasty and shameful anomaly. Either way, he must be put out of the priesthood for his outrageous pleas to protect illegal aliens while undermining the federal and state laws of his diocese. This is truly shame and unbelievable.
False Prophet Bishop McElory
Bishop McElroy should be defrocked. He is not ministering to the spiritual needs and advancing the Kingdom of Heaven. He is another false prophet pushing a perverse political agenda. Please contact Roger Ogden (roger-ogden@att.net )for more details. Do not allow anyone to play the "Christian charity" card to justify dangerous and immoral enabling of illegal immigration:
This event is coming up Wednesday. Will inform the media and try to get news of it on the early reports to boost attendance. A catholic group will hold a prayer vigil for the progressive Bishop. We will have some small signs for you to hold during the meeting, if you want. They want you to RSVP, but at past events they have let people in without an RSVP, who just show up.
Bishop McElroy qoute from progressive
“World Meeting of Popular Movements”
San Diego’s radical, liberation Bishop McElroy is teaming up with Iman Taha Hassane from the Muslim-Brotherhood linked, 9/11 terrorist mosque (Islamic Center of San Diego) and Marxist/anarchist, Alinsky-ite community organizers (San Diego Organizing Project), as well as other left-wing, social-justice churches. The Islamic Center of San Diego aided two of the 9/11 terrorists, who crashed a plane into the Pentagon, part of a terrorist act that killed more than 3,000 Americans on that day that we will never forget. Alinsky said to “use their own values against them” and that isexactlywhat they are doing. They will try to hide their love of lawlessness behind a false facade of religious morality.
If they were worried about salvation of souls, there are plenty of very fine churches in the home countries of those here illegally, especially in Latin America, greatCatholicchurches. However, it is pretty obvious that they are much more concerned with radical, collective politics and not so much with individual salvation.
There will be event on April 19th — under the Marxism-compliant name of “Assembly of Peoples” — as described in this excerpt from a church bulletin (see text below). The object of the event will be to organize an effort to interfere with ICE and protect illegal aliens from enforcement of the immigration law.
Bishop McElroy boasted recently that he has 200k illegal aliens in his San Diego diocese, whom he will not allow to be deported. Aiding and abetting illegal aliens is a felony. In my opinion, ICE ought to raid the event and arrest all of the ring-leaders, including the lawless Bishop and the shameless Iman from the mosque that aided two 9/11 terrorists. We plan to attend this meeting to support enforcement of the immigration law and oppose this unholy alliance of the radical bishop, Islamists and Marxist community organizers. More info to follow as it becomes available.

Faith Not Fear Summit—Standing Together to Protect Our Families
“And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness, against sorcerers, against adulterers, against perjurers, against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, against those who turn away an alien—because they do not fear Me, says the Lord of Hosts” (Malachi 3:5).
Rooted in faith, our families are ready to stand in solidarity with our most threatened community members and neighbors.
Bishop Robert McElroy, the Roman Catholic Bishop of San Diego, Bishop George McKinney of St. Stephen’s Church of God in Christ in San Diego, Bishop Terrell Fletcher of the City of Hope International Church in San Diego, and Imam Taha Hassane, Imam of the Islamic Center of San Diego, and other Faith Leaders from San Diego County are convening an “Assembly of Peoples” on Wednesday, April 19, at 6:30pm, at a site in San Diego yet to be determined.
At this event they are pledging and encouraging others to take united action to protect all families, protect immigrants and refugees, protect everyone’s right to healthcare, and protect our neighborhoods with compassionate policing.
The Vision of this Event:To form a united, mobilized, inspired group of leaders from our local faith communities that will work in partnership to protect each other and secure justice for everyone.
The Purpose of this Event: The main purpose of the event is to obtain commitments from people to encourage them to join in efforts of forming solidarity teams that will respond to ICE raids; stand against instances of hate; and to resist moves to return to “tough on crime” and “stop and frisk” policing policies. Attendees will be commissioned to form teams and receive follow-up training. Congressional delegates and other local elected officials will be invited as well as all local media/ broadcasting outlets.
Watch the bulletin for more information. Also contact Sr. Maureen Brown, CSJ, our Pastoral Associate, who is the liaison to the San Diego Organizing Project (SDOP) who is sponsoring this event. You may contact Sr. Maureen at 760-758-4100 x131 or moureertb@stmoside.org.
In case you forget or have not heard, Alinsky-ite community organizers are the ones whose ‘Bible’ — “Rules for Radicals” — acknowledgesLuciferas their role model, the first revolutionary.
“Lest we forget at least an over the shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer.”
― Saul D. Alinsky, Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals
Karl Marx describes in his Communist Manifesto, the ten steps necessary
to destroy a free enterprise system...
The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto and some of their American
counterparts are as follows.
I will be commenting on these issues and descriptions at length, although I welcome the points of view of anyone else who finds these views taken to extremes or if they are right now.
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of
land to public purposes.
Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the
Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government
property ownership)
Zoning laws are cumbersome. I do think that cities should have some guidelines about what can and cannot be built in certain sections of a city.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution
192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it
"paying your fair share".
No one should be taxed for working, and someone who works harder and thus makes more should not be required to pay a higher percentage from what they have earned. Why is any country punishing producers in such an abusive, arbitrary fashion in the first place? The communist mindset has been debunked so many times, and yet still bad men in power exploit the ignorance of the masses to push this destructive ideology.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed
Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
The death tax is on the chopping block in Washington DC. What took them so long? No one alive should be punished because a benefactor has passed away. That makes no sense at all.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public
"law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which
gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of
"terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the
"government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of
property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF
etc...).
This description forgets the liberal Democrats discussion of imposing a heavy tax on all businesses which invert their headquarters to other nations. Instead of punishing businesses who are fleeing the tax-heavy regulatory climate in the United States, how about lowering the corporate tax rate altogether?
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a
national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned
credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks
are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal
Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive
fractional reserve banking.
Audit, then end the Fed. It's that simple.
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in
the hands of the State.
Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the
Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in
1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission,
and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses
and Department of Transportation regulations.
There's an extended them here about the overreach of the government. A lot of this happened during the FDR reign of error. It's time to reverse a lot of these perversions. Why allow the federal government, through an unaccountable commission, determine what can and cannot be broadcast, shared, stated on media?
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.
Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The
Department of Agriculture… Thus read "controlled or subsidized"
rather than "owned"… This is easily seen in these as well as the
Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental
Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of
Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate
regulations.
How about getting the government out of private industry altogether? The trains never run on time when the federal government dictates policies, especially out of sync with the chronically changing needs and demands of individual citizens. It would be nice of our governing powers spent more time protecting our rights and securing our borders, though!
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies,
especially for agriculture.
Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our
Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice
via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National
debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two
"income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th
amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted
Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of
course Executive order 11000.
End the military-industrial complex and end it NOW!
The waste and corruption in the military departments should make every yell, and demand government accountability. There is no excuse, none, for the federal government to spend $400 for a hammer. What will undo all of this waste? Competition and privatization.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual
abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable
distribution of population over the country.
Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning
(Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders
11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. These provide for
forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China.
Yikes! Keep in mind that relocation and internment were Democratic traits then, and still are now through Agenda 21.
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.
What happens in public schools nowadays, especially in California, is not education. It's more like indoctrination. They aren't public either, since parents are not allowed on the campus at any time in order to take their kids. Parents have told me that when they ask for information about how the school district is spending its money, they would not deliver the information.
Districts are also routinely hiding incriminating evidence from the public, particularly about abusive and/or incompetent teachers and staff.
Very serious!
Final Reflection
Concentration of power and redistribution of wealth will ruin any society.
Communism has made subtle infiltrations in the United States. This list neglected to mention the destruction of marriage and the promotion of homosexuality. There is no mention of pansexuality, which can ruin the younger generation and corrupt the future of our country, too.
The disregard for divinity, intergrity, and honesty have become the norms in a globalized society. The Trump administration grants Americans the opportunity to stop out this oppressive government domestically, which President Ronald Reagan had helped get rid of internationally.
For the past twenty years, the Republican Party has lamented its seeming "lack of color."
I find that kind of odd, considering that as far back as 1984, Southern Republicans were winning more black voters than most modern political history books will document.
While CBS news was covering the near unanimous victory of Ronald Reagan, they noticed that "old, white" Southern US Senate candidate/incumbent Jesse Helms scored a massive win in 1984. The researchers and pollsters expressed surprise at the higher-than-expected percentage of the black vote.
Was anyone else paying attention to the fact that Ronald Reagan drew in an unprecedented rainbow coalition of support across the country.
He targeted communities based on their ethnic background, but the goal was not merely scooping up voters based on a surface connection with their backgroun.
Reagan reached out to all Americans, and helped US citizens participate in the prosperity that makes this country great.
Here in California, have Republicans fallen into the trap that the name of winning the game is "Diversity at all costs"?
Consider the current list of potential RPLAC Executive Board nominees for Dec. 10, 2016:
Chairman: Richard Sherman
1st Vice-Chairman: Mark Vafiades
2nd Vice-Chairman: Howard Hakes
Treasurer: Gary Aminoff
Assistant Treasurer: Jacqueline Loza
Secretary: Janice Webb
Assistant Secretary: Andre Hollings
I have heard rumblings from the background that this slate of nominees was selected in greater measure to demonstate a growing element of ethnic diversity in the County Republican GOP.
Honestly, I have nothing against selected individuals who have diverse, enriching culture heritage.
I do have a problem with evaluating the value of leadership based exclusively on the color of a person's skin.
Martin Luther King Jr., himself told his supporters: "I have a dream one day my children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Judgement, whether good or bad, based on skin color is wrong.
I also recall Chairman Mark Vafiades commenting on the widespread diversity of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County's Executive board in the past.
Representation on a executive committee should above all stand on the content of the character and ideas of the people who represent all Republicans in the region.
Once again, there is nothing wrong with reaching out to people within each district and encouraging them to run to represent their citizen-peers.
I do believe, however, if the Republican Party in LA County or elsewhere (anywhere) in the state is looking for diverity for diversity's sake, they are making a mistake.
Donald Trump is as "white" as can get, and yet he earned a record percentage of the black and Hispanic vote compared to Mitt Romney.
George W. Bush too in 44% of the Hispanic vote in 2004, but to the best of my knowledge, he did not connect with voters based on race. He connected with voters based on his skill to keep the country safe from terrorism.
Republicans in California are making a mistake if they campaign and engage in outreach based on skin color alone.
Throughout the country, men and women of differeing cultural backgrounds wanted an American President who would help Americans and make them proud to be Americans in their own country. That value, that need goes far beyond culture clashes and connections.
Some Republicans, I fear, are trying to connect with Hispanics constituents by speaking Spanish, or with Asian communities by speaking the languages of their ethnic origin.
That sounds kind of condescending.
Candidates should speak the language of family, hard work, education, basic public safety, security and freedom.
These values transcend language barriers.
A language which communicates "I care about you" makes the difference, not speaking from talking points in the native language of a voter.
Conservatives are speaking in high tones about cutting debt and spending, reducing the size and scope of the state, but are they talking about the Main Street concerns which resonate with Middle America in simple terms?
"Make America Great Again" is a basic yet winning statement.
"We are going to start winning again!" resonated with voters.
Don't give me a plan. Tell me the outcome.
We have the plans, but let's let people know that they feature YUGE-ly in future gains.
RPLAC, or the state party, orany Republican political community can .place people "of color" in places of leadership. That kind of gesture does not communicate "I care about you."
What will?
Respect.
Outreach.
A willing ear.
A clear demonstration of principle, and how that operates in the lives of all Americans--all Californians.
What are their concerns? Do we know? We need to show that we care!
We can show that we care about people when we treat them as individuals, and not just subsets of an ethnic group. How about speaking the language of their concerns?
And how about we stop assuming that just because someone has a different colored skin or speaks a different language, or talks with a different accent, that therefore we have to engage with those individuals with the same precise manners and mores?
This kind of thinking is illiberal and regressive at its core. This is identity politics, and it made our coutnry worse for eight years. Voters elected President Obama because he was black.
That's unsound and insensitive. Should any Presidential contender be judged based on his skin color? How would you feel if someone looked at you and decided what capacities you held, what capabilities you demonstrated based on your skin color, but never asked any questions about who you are, what you believe, and what you care about?
I don't know about you, but I don't like it when people think that they can read my mind and know my heart just by looking at my skin color.
Republicans, then, should give up identity politics as the first stop toward accomplishing anything. The diversity game is a set of rules devised by the Left
They divide people into race and ethnicity as main features. It's time for Republicans to reject those stupid paradigms and reach out to others based on their value as individuals in their own right.
