It’s funny where you have to search for truth these days.
Who would have thought we’d hear it from 81-year-old singer Andy Williams,best known for his rendition of “Moon River”?
Asked by Radio Times in London what he thought about Barack Obama,he replied:“Don’t like him at all. I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very left-wing. One is registered as a Communist. Obama is following Marxist theory. He’s taken over the banks and the car industry. He wants the country to fail.”
A rather succinct,but accurate,view of the man in the White House.
This is not a popular view in the entertainment industry,but it’s true – provably so.
It is a fact that Hegelian-Marxist thinking is the driving force in America’s political debate today.
What does that mean?
The Hegelian dialectic is the framework for guiding thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead to a predetermined solution.
How does it work?
It employs the weapons of intimidation,even terror,to reach a state of virtual mind control among the populace.
Hegel saw the state as having the absolute right to define right and wrong and freedom.
“The state has the supreme right against the individual,whose supreme duty is to be a member of the state … for the right of the world spirit is above all special privileges,”he wrote.
In other words,it is the polar opposite of the principles upon which America was founded – limited government,sovereign rights of the individual.
Hegel anticipated the problem of persuading sovereign individuals to hand over their power to the state,so he cleverly devised a theory of conning the people through obfuscation.
You can see this dialectic at work today in the debate over health care.
How long have we been hearing that health care in America is at a crisis point? Something must be done right now. The private sector is failing the people. There are too many people without health care.
Do you really think the statists who are pushing this crisis care about people’s health care?
It’s a joke.
What they care about is their own political empowerment and in expanding the role of the state in our lives.
Here’s the way Vladimir Lenin explained his strategy:“We must be ready to employ trickery,deceit,lawbreaking,withholding and concealing truth. We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate,revulsion,scorn and the like,towards those who disagree with us.”
It’s worth remembering that it was Lenin who first implemented “free universal health care.”It was one of his crowning achievements. Did it work? Were people healthier? Were they freer? Were they more prosperous? Of course not. Lenin’s idealized vision led directly to the gulags and to a series of horrors,terrors and genocides only rivaled by another Marxist-Hegelian’s leadership – Mao Zedong.
Lenin also believe the best and surest and fastest way to take down a capitalist system was to debauch its currency.
It seems like Barack Obama is indeed following the script of the first man to put Marxism into practice.
It’s impossible to look at the actions of Barack Obama and conclude that he is actually trying to fix problems in the United States. Can anyone believe the automotive industry will be better off under government control? Can anyone believe health care in America will be better and less expensive when it is run by the government? Can anyone believe that government can deficit spend its way into prosperity?
I think Barack Obama is way too smart to believe that.
That’s why I agree with Andy Williams that Barack Obama’s goal is to see the country fail.
