The Remaking Of America

There are a lot of forces at play that are trying to turn this country into something other than the great "experiment" that our founders envisioned, and has worked so well for over 230 years. It has worked so well that many people throughout the world give up everything they have in order to move to this country and build new lives. Many of them become prosperous, and for those that don't, a lot of times prosperity ends up in the hands of their children and grandchildren. There is a dark side to the equation too. It is the side of envy, and this is what is driving the political agenda of the Leftists who are now in charge of running this country. For some, it is the envy of material things. For a lot of others, however, is the far more dangerous envy of power and control.

The Tools Of Power

The linchpin of the march to power and control over the masses is Health Care Reform. If you control access to health care, you control all other aspects of peoples' lives. Why do you think Stalin and Hitler gave socialized medicine to their citizens? That way they could control who received health care and who didn't, both in access and in quality. Do you think that the Democrats and President Obama don't know this? Do you want to see a doctor? You better belong to the appropriate political party and have the right beliefs, or you are going to have a very long wait for health care. Since you are a dissenter, hopefully you will die while you are waiting. That way there will be one less voice complaining about the new American Communist government. Of course, dissent will no longer be the highest form of patriotism, but will be considered a form of mental illness. Does anyone hear the term Euthanasia?

There will be a two tiered health care system. Cuba has a system for the ruling class and tourists, and a system for everyone else. Guess who gets quality health care? Canada has a similar thing, except that it's supposedly illegal. There is national health care, and then there is very discrete, very expensive private cash only health care. Guess who gets what? It's the same thing in Britain. You have national health care for the masses, and then you have very discrete, private, cash only quality health care for the ruling class—and that's not just the queen who has her own private doctors.

Back when the British Government passed National Health Care in the 1960s, a member of the House Of Commons, Barbara Castle, also knows as Britain's "Red Queen," because of her Marxist beliefs, thundered, "No one should be allowed to pay for health care with a checkbook." However when her son needed surgery, she checked him into one of the discrete under the table, cash only, exclusive, private hospitals under an assumed name. Was she ever held accountable for that? Hell no. All the other politicians and the other "important people" were doing the same thing. It wasn't even reported in the press.

Oleg Atbashian, a graphic artist who lives in New York, and is originally from the Ukraine when it was still part of the Communist Soviet Union sums up the reason in a nutshell of why the two tiered system exists when it is supposed to be illegal:

[because of] "...the unconditional love of the parents for their children and the desire to do the best for them. The truth is, even the most hard-nosed Soviet ideologues still cheated the system when it came to their offspring. Having risked life and limb fighting for universal equality, they all ended up inventing creative workarounds to make their own children “more equal” than others. Who can blame them? They were human, even if they denied humanity to everyone else."

Do you think that our Leftist politicians, their friends and their supporters among the meritocratic, educated elite, upper classes are going to stand in line for sub-standard health care? No, the unwashed masses will stand in line. The Bobos and the politicians that the Bobos support will have their own system separate and unequal from the rest of us. The Left is fully aware of this. Rationing will mean rationing for us, but not for them.

Next on the list is the tool of Environmentalism. The purpose of this tool is multi fold. It has a tremendous trickle down effect. The environmental movement and its supporters want to see energy prices skyrocket. For the hardcore activists, man is the enemy. The goal is to eliminate as many people from the planet as possible. Of course, that doesn't mean them. Lack of access to modern technology, which requires energy, is the key to the development of the Third World. They do not want this to happen. If people don't have electricity, clean water, sewage treatment, and quality shelter, they will die from disease and starvation. That's the goal. Disease and starvation are the most efficient ways of killing people. Plus, that way the Leftist Environmental Extremists don't have to get their hands dirty in the process. They don't have to shoot anybody. Paul Erlich, who wrote the book, The Population Bomb, called for the elimination of 75% of the world's population, or that there would be massive food shortages in the Western World in the 1980s. That didn't happen. Rachel Carson, who wrote the book, Silent Spring, was influential enough to get the pesticide DDT banned. Consequently, you've had over 30 million children die of malaria in the Third World. When this was mentioned to a Far Left environmental activist, his comment was, "Well, that's a good start." The extremists don't want to eliminate all the little people. They still need a certain amount of "lesser beings" to mow their lawns, scrub their floors, serve their food, wipe their kids asses, and fix their hybrids. Anything over that certain amount are excesses, and it's the excesses that will need to be eliminated.

The goal of the non-extremist Environmentalist are not eliminating people, but keeping the poor and lower classes under collective control. How dare those people without college degrees think that they are entitled to own property, drive a car, or have air conditioning. They need to be herded into high rise, climate controlled, human habitat areas with no parking, so that they can all be herded onto a crowded bus in order to get to work. Most of the non-extremist Environmentalists adhere to the typical belief system of most of those in the Liberal upper middle classes: "We know what's better for you than you, so shut up and do as you are told. You are too stupid to think for yourself." For them, it's about Marx's "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." The "little people" have less need, because they are not as important. It's not right that someone with a high school education who goes into business for himself, and due to hard work (ability) is able to make more money than they do with their PhDs. The playing field needs to be "levelled." When you drive the price of energy sky high, many small businesses will fold. Many people won't be able to afford fuel for their cars. Many people won't be able to afford the electricity needed to cool their homes. As long as it doesn't affect too many of the Bobo class of "entitled" Americans, it's fine. The goal is to reduce the standard of living of everyone but them. That way the lower classes will know their place.

Another tool of power that the Left uses is food. Stalin and Mao came right out and starved to death millions of their own citizens. Who knows how many have starved to death in North Korea, but it's a known fact that people there eat tree bark and grass in order to stay alive. The "little people" in Cuba have food rationing. You are limited to three ounces of meat per person per week. The rest of your diet consists of beans and rice. This, of course, does not apply to the ruling class. When Liberals claim that more food should be organically grown, because it's healthier, they are blowing smoke out of their patoot. It's nothing but support for a $20 billion dollar a year agricultural "big business" (while they rail on about evil big businesses), that allows them to put themselves in a class above the rest of us. It's about snob appeal. A research project by Great Britain's London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, that put together the results of 50 years of research conducted by many scientist throughout the world, concluded that there is absolutely no difference in the nutritional quality of organic food vs conventional food. Organic may taste different due to it's growing methods, but it is no better for you.

Organic farming produces less food than conventional farming, and there is more loss to disease and blights, hence the price difference. If more food was grown organically, there would be less food at a much higher price. That's another way of controlling the masses. Just think, we could get more Americans to eat less hamburger and more beans and rice like they do in Cuba. Now please pass me a second helping of that $30 per pound grass fed, organically grown beef.

Having to spend more on food, means less money to spend on other things too. The Bobos love that idea. Why should the stupid people in flyover country be able to afford anything anyway. After all, all they want is a pickup truck and a 72 inch wide screen TV, so they can watch ESPN. Why can't they watch PBS and listen to the elitist Marxists on NPR? Instead those stupid average Americans are listening to Rush Limbaugh and watching Glenn Beck.

For the extremists, less food means more starvation, which means more people will die. Starvation is also a great motivational tool to "encourage" you to shut up and do as you are told. Remember this the next time some hippie rails on about supporting some Social Justice cause about starvation in the Third World. What they really want is more starvation here in the United States.

These are the tools that the Left plans on using to remake this country into a Socialist and eventual Communist dictatorship. Who benefits from this? If you look at any Socialist and/or Communist country, there is a ruling class of highly educated bureaucrats and those in the information professions, like law and education that live quite well. That is as long as they adhere to the party line. We have the potential to go down that same road ourselves if we don't derail the Socialist Express that President Obama and his Marxist cronies, are running full speed ahead down the tracks, that is designed to take down the American system of government that our founders developed over 230 years ago and establish a permanent Socialist dictatorship. Let's hope that the average American wakes up in time.
