Old Soviet jokes become the new American reality

At first the move to America from the former USSR made me feel as though I had made a jump in time, from the stagnant depraved past into a distant dynamic future.

There was an abundance of commonly available futuristic contraptions, machines, and appliances that made everyday existence easier and more enjoyable. Less obvious but just as exciting was the media's openness: I no longer needed to read between the lines to know what was happening.

...ugh... I cringe every time I hear the words “Social Democrats”. It literally translates as ‘neo-communists’. The worst offenders? The Social Democrat party of Sweden. I don’t think even Obama could hold a candle to these North Korea style goons.

There will come a time when we must take back the nation—then lots of folk may well die.

Brilliant no-budget movie, probably the first flash of Polanski’s talent.

Whatever else he is.

[Secret Agent Man]

the old soviet joke, where an old comunist is asked by a worshipping american liberal journalist, the difference between capitalism and communism. the old soviet says, in a thick , heavy accent,

“Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it’s other way ‘round.”

Recall Nikita Kruschev, ruler of the USSR in the early 60’s, coming to the UN, banging his shoe on his desk, shouting we will bury you. Americans laughed. Through the years, with Presidents Kennedy through Bush, our country kept communism in check. Now with Obama, Kruschev’s prediction has come true. How quickly, freedom can evaporate.

A State powerful enough to beat the other State is a State nonetheless. Lesson learned - stay the f out of global entanglements by chaining the banksters for 1000 years.

The Soviets were not our worst enemy, the libtards were along with the moochers and dead-beats.

"Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
-Lincoln, address Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois January 27, 1838

1984 was suppose to be fiction

"1984" is fiction and so is "Animal Farm". 1984 describes the long-term results of an Animal Farm form of government. All pigs are equal but some pigs are more equal than others.

America had a good thing in its Constitution until the nation’s ignorance overtook its good judgment by favoring Obama’s agenda for America in lieu of the Constitution.

Never underestimate the power of ignorant people in large groups.

Never underestimate the power of ignorant people in large groups.

Take the US Senate, as an example, Please!

If the time for that wasn’t yesterday, it will never come.

[The Great RJ]

Probably the best example of this type of grim humor is Vladamir Voinovich's satire Moscow 2042. Voinovich describes how a time traveler to Moscow in the year 2042 sees long lines of people with buckets of feces waiting to exchange the buckets for food coupons. This was to fulfill the promise that true communism would be achieved when primary matter (food) equaled secondary matter (feces). Sadly we are not far from that level of absurdity in a second Obama term.

With every day we wait, it will only get harder...

[Nowhere Man]

True, the left had Soviet and Red Chinese benefactors for years so they are just as much to blame. I think the point I was trying to make is if a Soviet tried to manipulate our country, we’d see him for what he is and fight him whereas if it was one of our own people, there would be some who would not see the influence. That’s how we got into this mess. We let our guard down to the William Ayers, Bernie Dorns and O-Holes of the world.

Is the red-hued poster on the left real, or was it constructed in modern years?

Get out your bedroom?

Get out of my nightstand drawer.
Get out of my school.
Get out of my company.
Get out of my hospital.
Get out of my military.
Get out of my church.
Get out of my airport.
Get out of my environment.

Used to be the the CPUSA and their COMINTERN buddies met in secret.

Now they are in your face, large, and in charge, from the WH to the local apparatchik at the county commission.

Any attempt to suppress domestic communism is now branded as hate speech or domestic terrorism.

The Republicans are useless, it's time to start developing a strategy to cripple the marxists, and it must be done totally outside of the electoral process through acts of civil disobedience and counter propaganda, with sympathetic State Governors and legislators assisting the process.

Solzhenitsyn told the story about the gulag prisoner who kept complaining to the guards that he was innocent. He was doing a 20 year sentence for nothing, he claimed. The guards always just laughed at his complaints.

One day they told the prisoner why his complaints were so funny. "You have a 20 year sentence and you claim you're innocent! Innocent people only get 10 years!"

Watch the Yuri Bezemenov youtubes and you will understand how it happened.
