Second anniversary of this 2011 post:
You’ll never get a clue what’s being done to, and within, this country from the complicit “mainstream” media. But a KGB expert who defected to the good guys was explaining it for us back in the 80s. Yuri Bezmenov tried to warn us:
Stage One: Demoralization – Elimination of American Exceptionalism, fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia. Peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc. National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National history is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.

Stage Two: Destabilization – Creation of economic, financial, and national security crisis. Also includes social crisis and breakdown of previous self-evident restrictions on moral behavior. Cloward Piven approach to overloading the system, ie more takers than producers. The crisis produces benevolent leaders who will promise to deliver “things” (Hope and Change) to meet people’s needs through Social and Economic Justice. False illusions that the situation is under control if certain strategic directions are followed (Bailouts, Stimulus, Jobs Bills, Regulations of industry, Unconstitutional Power Grabs, Dismissal of Historical Laws, Changes in legislative processes, Changes in checks and balances of power etc).

Remember when you were a kid and it was Saturday morning? That feeling of waking up and then remembering, oh yeah, it’s Saturday… NO SCHOOL 😀 ?
…. well, I don’t know about you – but with all the stuff swirling around – I call “timeout” !!
But you must first pass the test. Can you spot the conservative in this picture?

(excerpt from Daily Mail) Thanks to a single photo posted on an internet site last year, the world’s most feted feline has her own manager, her own lawyer and a burly minder to keep fans from cramping her rather unique style during public appearances.

[…] Grumpy Cat is his big star and the commercial tie-ins show no sign of slowing. She has become the spokescat for Friskies, a popular U.S. catfood brand, and her book, Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book, made the prestigious New York Times bestseller list. T-shirt sales currently stand at more than 100,000 and Christmas cards at 35,000. (more…)
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
….. The White House announced Friday that it will resume public tours next month on a limited basis.

The tours, which were canceled in March as a result of the across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration, will begin again on Nov. 5 on a reduced schedule. Instead of five days a week, the tours will run for three days a week, according to the White House. (more…)
Those were the words from Dr. Benjamin Franklin as he exited the Constitutional Convention in reply to Philadelphian Mrs. Powell’s question: “what form of government have you given us”?

We spend quite a bit of time on this website talking about the need to stand in the sunlight of your own beliefs and not be discouraged. There is a reason why President Obama tells our national audience to stop listening to talk radio, bloggers, and those who stand in opposition to the leftward march of his rigid ideologues. They would prefer you to find comfort amid the shadows.
Their reason is the same now as it always has been. The Fabian’s need to convince you your views are in the minority. They hold a collective view of all governance, and individual liberty and freedom principles run directly in opposition to their own goals.
The Fabian goals are achieved by destruction of common acceptances and “Remould Closer To Their Heart’s Desire”. Hence, they need you to actually operate against your beliefs of individualism, and they need to continue convincing people to vote against their own individual best interests.
Considering the morale of liberty against the backdrop of the Fabian intents we have drawn historical references to the Polish Solidarity movement.
Several weeks ago we outlined one such similarity; in response a reader who lived through the Polish Solidarity experience wrote a message to share: (more…)
