Russia’s PRAVDA…couldn’t say it better?!?

American capitalism gone with a whimper

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our “democracy”. Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations” were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the “winning” side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the “winning” side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America’s short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama’s command that GM’s (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of “pure” free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a “bold” move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK’s Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our “wise” Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper…but a “freeman” whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set “fair” maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

“Creative Accounting” another reason Union Bosses want EFCA

Creative accounting masked AFL-CIO’s finances, official says

The AFL-CIO, the largest U.S. union organization, concealed deteriorating finances through “creative accounting,” according to a union leader.

Tom Buffenbarger, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, said in a report that the labor federation obscured its financial difficulties heading into last year’s presidential election campaign, in which it backed Democrat Barack

Obama. Net assets of the 11 million-member AFL-CIO declined to a negative $2.3 million as of June 30, 2008, from a $66 million surplus on July 1, 2000.

“A new leadership — leaders chosen by our members, leaders help accountable by our members — is needed,” wrote Buffenbarger, who is a member of the AFL-CIO’s finance committee and the president of one of the nation’s largest unions. Alison Omens, a spokeswoman for the AFL-CIO, declined to comment on the report.

The labor federation has been in talks about reuniting with Change to Win, a coalition of seven unions that left the federation in 2005 because of disagreements over finances and other issues. Buffenbarger’s report is intended to help strengthen the AFL-CIO, not prepare it for reunification, according to Rick Sloan, his spokesman.

“The report aims to increase the AFL-CIO’s clout and solvency,” Sloan said Wednesday. “We want to see the House of Labor renovated, not razed. The AFL-CIO needs a plan B.”

The departure of the seven unions to Change to Win in 2005 denied the AFL-CIO more than $13.9 million in annual revenue, the report said.

The report says the AFL-CIO should wind down its involvement in the National Labor College in Silver Spring, where labor organizers are trained. And it criticizes the federation for relying on HSBC Holdings Plc royalty payments for issuing Union Plus credit cards.
“If we are not careful, insolvency may be right around the corner,” the report said.

Buffenbarger’s report also criticizes the AFL-CIO for functioning as a “staff-driven operation” bogged down in “PowerPoints and briefing papers.”

Buffenbarger urges the AFL-CIO to be more aggressive in targeting politicians who vote against union interests. It suggests that labor’s top priority, the so-called Card Check bill, won’t pass Congress this year.

“We need an internal mechanism to declare a political boycott,” he said.

Mike Cox Announces for Governor

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

LIVONIA – Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox today officially declared his candidacy to be the next governor of the State of Michigan. Cox made the announcement while focusing on his record as a fighter who puts the people of Michigan first and his vision to bring Michigan back from the brink of economic disaster. Michigan currently has the highest unemployment rate in the nation, and approximately half of all college graduates are leaving the state.

“With Michigan at an economic crossroads, we have a choice to make. We can watch Michigan die a slow economic death or we can stand up and fight for Michigan’s future,” said Cox. “As a Marine, prosecutor, and Attorney General, I have spent my life fighting for the people of Michigan. I will be a governor who is willing to make the tough decisions to help grow Michigan’s economy and bring good paying jobs here so families and young people can stay and prosper. I am ready to lead the fight for Michigan’s future.”

Highlighting the importance of social media as a tool for bringing voters’ opinions and ideas into his campaign, Cox first announced his plans this morning on Twitter and Facebook. Cox then spoke directly to millions of voters though statewide interviews with radio, print and television media. Cox will finish the day by talking with business and community leaders from around the state at the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce Annual Conference.

“Sixty years ago my parents came to Michigan for the opportunity to live the American dream. Families flocked to Michigan for good paying jobs and great communities to raise their families in. We need to build a Michigan where people once again have those opportunities for great jobs and a prosperous future,” said Cox.

The Mike Cox 2010 campaign plans a formal kickoff tour this fall. You can learn more about Cox’s gubernatorial campaign on his recently launched gubernatorial website, www.mikecox2010.com. Cox invited voters to interact and engage with the campaign through the website, Twitter (@Mike_Cox) and Facebook.
