Socialism Has Come Full Circle
N/A | N/A | Vanity

Posted on 01/25/2013 3:16:36 AM PST by goodn'mad

I was stationed in the early 70s in Hanau, Germany and our mobilization site was the Fulda Gap. Alerts were apt to be called at any time and I remember that my first one was called at midnight right after I’d crawled into the sack. If the communists ever invaded, it would be through the Fulda Gap. And rumor had it that our life expectancy was about a minute. I remember my unit rushing to Fulda in the dead of winter. I’ve never been colder in my life. It was dark, cold, and I had guard duty but I absolutely couldn’t keep warm. I finally sat down at the foot of a tree and covered up with my sleeping bag. The cold was now at least tolerable. But I never thought of this as a sacrifice because so many had paid a much higher price during WWII and Korea to keep the Communists, Fascists, and Nazis at bay, my father included. But I always thought of Socialists and Communists as being an external threat that we could defeat if they were foolish enough to try to come through the gap. Little did I realize that Socialism had moved underground and would come full circle to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Many don’t like to hear this and it makes more than a few uncomfortable, especially those foolish enough to have voted for him, but it is true. One thing that provides some consolation is that socialism never survives in the long-run before it implodes. It is unsustainable and those thirsting for the freedom that God intended will overthrow its’ shackles. If pride truly does go before a fall, stay tuned. Keep praying. Somehow I believe that God isn’t through with America yet. I sure hope not but we have a lot to answer for. Just as the misery and cries of innocent slaves led to the horrors of the Civil War, the innocent blood of millions of aborted babies is calling from the ground and God is listening….but are we? Is it possible that this wicked administration is God’s judgment upon America? Billy Graham once said that if God doesn’t judge America He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.

How can millions be so blind? How could we have fallen so far so quickly?

“How could we have fallen so far so quickly?”

A classified project I was on in the ‘80’s got a comprehensive situational awareness briefing from the FBI. They showed us a list of all the individuals and organizations being actively funded by the KGB. It included dozens of gay, communist, protest groups, anti-family organizations, pro-choice, etc. If you managed to get your name in the paper as having an organization that attacked the family or the government or society in general, you got an anonymous contribution ranging anywhere from $500 to thousands. This low-level continuous sabotage has had generational cumulative effect. Long after the need for it arose and then disappeared, it has triumphed. There do not appear to be any competing campaigns to reverse the damage. Those that might have done so; the Annenberg Foundation, for example, have been co-opted to liberal causes.

At this point, I’m certain that the FBI would not be allowed to give the very same briefing as it would not be politically correct.

I have no doubt whatsoever that you're both right. I've told people more than once that the Communists lost the Cold War, but won the culture war, and infiltrated America to destroy us from within.

I always feel like the general in Dr. Strangelove obsessing over the purity of my bodily fluids when I say that, but I am certain that it is true. They did beat us by infiltration. Frank Marshall Davis begat (probably in the literal sense) Barack 0bama.

Now we just have to figure out how to reclaim our culture and our government. It isn't going to be easy, especially when we're infected with a virus that most people don't even realize exists any more, because we don't teach history any more.

A lot, but not all dates all the way back to the Turman/McArthur “controversy” When what passed for an ‘administration’ decided we should stop FIGHTING a war and basically sit there and play target for the Commies—then it was the Norks.
Can you say the words “Vietnam” or, NOW the words “Iraq”, “Afganistan” or “North Africa including Egypt” etc...............?
Hell, the last war PROPERLY FOUGHT was Granada.
A lot of our problem is a natural reaction of a representative democratic government to a situation where its Military never fights to win and ALWAYS loses he peace.
Basing a CONSTITUTION on Sharia????
Well, iffen that’s the case, what’s the point, then?

Now what have you? BARRY AND HIS CHOOM GANG—that’s who.

I had a close relative who commanded the defense of the Fulda Gap during REFORGER exercises in the 70s. You were likely under his command.

His perspective these days is a lot like yours.

That is comforting but not o the millions who perish of starvation or slave labor on the way to that point.

I agree, this is an evil Administration! Obama's political career was launched from Bill Ayers livingroom and it was Ayers and his pals that estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million Americans in order to establish their utopian society. Obama is Bill Ayers guy.

BTW, I was stationed at Coleman AAF, just north of Mannheim from 76-79. I was in a USAF Weather detachment and we provided weather support for the airfield.

Good post! How, you ask? Was it quickly? In the 1800’s, parents started allowing the likes of Horace Mann to educate their children in secular doctrine. By 1811 Presbyterians realized that America’s colleges, which had been founded on, and revolved around Christianity were no longer reliable for training ministers. They then created the first seminary.

From the mid-1800s through the turn of the century the seminaries were purposefully infiltrated. Meanwhile the church abandoned the Gospel of the Kingdom, and instead embraced a weaker, corrupt gospel. The social gospel took hold thanks to men like Walter Rauschenbusch. Futurism took hold thanks to men like John Nelson Darby. The church narrowed the gospel of the kingdom to a small subset, the gospel of personal salvation, or adopted the liberal, corrupt, social gospel. Combine all that with the industrialization and urbanization of America, and a new breed of immigrant, and things go awry.

Through the early 1900’s the pagan, the liberal, and the corrupt began to accumulate enough wealth that there was now a concerted, deliberate and successful attempt to gain control of industry and the media as well.

After a couple generations being raised in a society where schools, colleges, business, and media are Godless and the churches are castrated and corrupt, is it any wonder we had the 1960s sexual/cultural revolution. Today the church has fallen even further into the prosperity gospel or outright embracing of sin. Today the “conservative” churches look at the folly of the latter two and pat themselves on the back while embracing the failure of the church in the 1800s.

So I would not say it was quick at all, just accelerating perhaps, and at least, more and more abominable. So if you send your children to school to be indoctrinated by pagans, and let them fill the rest of their time with movies, music and news produced by antichrists who want their soul. You take them to a castrated church. Then send them to an antichrist pagan college or an infiltrated bible college or seminary.

Then wonder how could this happen. Duh.

Train up a child in the way he should go.
Deuteronomy 6:7
You shall teach them *diligently* to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.

Very enlightening. If you haven’t watched it already, you owe it to yourself to read, “Grinding America Down.”

Too bad the general public is unaware of such things. Maybe 60 Minutes will cover it? sarcasm intended

Truer words never spoken. What can we do? Can the lost ground be regained?

While the Russians may not have the cash to be continuing this, the Chinese and the Islamists certainly do.

We also have an MSM that's complicit with Obama's radical agenda because most of them agree with it. What a truly Orwellian world we are living in...

I watched “Agenda: Grinding America Down” as you recommended. In fact I made my whole family watch it. It was very good; in as far as it went. The only problem I have with it is it makes it seems as if all our institutional, family and moral problems are all due to Karl Marx, socialism and its followers. Humanism/socialism is only one facet of the problem. I would highly recommend Christians watch this video, and get other Christians to watch, it as long as they understand that there are problems in the church with understanding of the role of God’s law, and the nature of God’s kingdom, and where we are at in prophecy today. These misunderstandings are making the church impotent and irrelevant. It is impossible for humanism to conquer “Berean” Christians, but they seem very few and far between.
