Many believe that communism is a political/economical system, but that's just a small part of the truth, communism is a mean to destroy states, culture and racial hegemony,   more...and that's exactly what happened in the first Soviet union.

For their one world despotism to become reality, they have to brake our roots, the foundation of our existence. Breaking up the roots of our existence, to unite the world under their despotism, is what communism and multiculturalism are all about.

"The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world domination by the dissolution more…of other races…and by the establishment of a world republic in which everywhere the Jews will exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this New World Order the Children of Israel…will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition…” -- Baruch Levy in a letter to Karl Marx, quoted in Review de Paris, June 1, 1928, p. 574

The truth is like a shining light, usually to intense, and sometimes even painful for those not accustomed to it and so they close their mind like someone would close his eye's. And hey, the wonderland fantasy is more enjoyable! Let's just all close our minds! Everything is fine! Bush is a man of peace and the future will be wonderful! The new Soviet union will be wonderful! Communism is wonderful! Everything will be just wonderful!

Why communism does not work:


Communists are no better than all those other totalitarian oppressor in human history; what they call "equality", the promise of equal rights and freedom, only leads to equal misery and serfdom, the abolishment of freedom, the abolishment of dignity, and their "economical reforms", advertised as the road to social welfare and prosperity, increase poverty, ruin the economy, render the chains of serfdom heavier by making the people more dependent, and eventually cause mass starvation and shortages, communism, toward which all socialism tends, is the negation of civilization; a straight road to tyranny and hell!

This video shows how Zionist propaganda machine is spreading lies to milk american public for millions of dollars of free donations.

Every American president, whether Democrat or Republican,
conservative or liberal, speaks lovingly of 'democracy', whenever the
nation engages in some escapade abroad. When the U.S. invaded Iraq,
it did   more...so, ostensibly, to 'bring democracy to the Middle East.' When it
launches a raid in Grenada, or rains death on a poor neighborhood in
Panama, when it invaded Haiti in the last century, ad infinitum, it always
did so in the name of 'restoring democracy.'

What is this democracy of which they so blithely speak?

We all have heard the term since our infancy, but who really knows
what it means? I wanted to learn more about it, so I began to read one
of the finest historians I know of, the great C.L.R. James, author of the
ground-breaking *The Black Jacobins*, an influential study of the Haitian
Revolution. Some years ago, James published a pamphlet titled, *Every
Cook Can Govern: A Study of Democracy in Ancient Greece* (Jackson,
MS: New Mississippi, Inc., Mar. 1986). I found myself (as I often am
when I read his stuff) blown away by what I learned. As his subtitle
suggests, James looks at Greek history for the roots of the democratic
idea, and finds it, in some stages, truly democratic, in ways we can
hardly imagine. He writes:

Perhaps the most striking thing about Greek democracy was that the
administration (and there were immense administrative problems) was
organized upon the basis of what is known as sortition, or, more easily,
selection by lot. The vast majority of Greek officials were chosen by a
method which amounted to putting names into a hat and appointing the
ones whose names came out. Now the average C10 bureaucrat or Labor
Member of Parliament in Britain would fall in a fit if it was suggested to
him that any worker selected at random could do the work he is doing.
But that was precisely the guiding principle of Greek democracy. And
this form of government is the government under which flourished the
greatest civilization the world has ever known.  less

There is Something in the Air, But It is Not on the Airwaves
By Chris Chandler and Anne Feeney arranged by David Roe

You know, we have GOT it together. There ARE people in the streets.
At the very onset   more...of Oil War Two there were already more people on the
streets protesting than there were at the height of the Vietnam war.
There is something in the air, but it is not on the airwaves.

If there are a half a dozen Jaycees in Cincinnati on a street corner
waving yellow ribbons, Fox news acts like it's A Republican Woodstock.
"By the time we got to Fallujah we were half a million strong."
But put a million people on the street and they build a fence around you
and call it a protest zone.
We like to look at Vietnam through the soft focus of Hollywood,
which took the blood of war and turned it into rose-colored glasses.
We see hundredss of beautiful semi-naked twenty-somethings putting
daises in the barrels of M16s, all to the tune of Country Joe McDonald
singing "One two three what are we fightin for?"

Chris Chandler's piece, Something's In the Air / But It's Not on the
Airwaves, Weaves 60's Vietnam War protest music with commentary
about the Iraq war today.

Performed by Chris Chandler, featuring David Roe and the Orchestra.
From the album & DVD "American Storyteller" by Chris Chandler.

More War Protestors on the street today than during the height of the
Vietnam War - but corporate media stays mute.

In the past our politicians offered us dreams of a better world. Now they
promise to protect us from nightmares. The most frightening of these is
the threat of an international terror network. But just as the dreams were
not true, neither are these nightmares.

The debate took place at Cooper Union in New York City and was captured by ScribeMedia on behalf of the London Review of Books.

Last March, John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt published an article in the   more...London Review of Books. Entitled “The Israel Lobby: Does it Have too Much Influence on US Foreign Policy,” (you can read about it at: www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html) it drew swift charges of anti-Semitism in the editorial pages of American newspapers.

At root are passages like the following:

<i> …the thrust of US policy in the region derives almost entirely from domestic politics, and especially the activities of the ‘Israel Lobby’. Other special-interest groups have managed to skew foreign policy, but no lobby has managed to divert it as far from what the national interest would suggest, while simultaneously convincing Americans that US interests and those of the other country – in this case, Israel – are essentially identical.</i>

Those attacking Mearsheimer and Walt suggest the duo outline a nefarious Jewish cabal with a stranglehold on American Mideast policy. Think smokey back rooms; think political and media domination; think subtle and sneaky manipulation of the unsuspecting, innocent gentile. Think historical stereotype.

Mearsheimer, Walt and their defenders counter that they neither suggest a cabal nor a monolithic Jewry driving the American body politic. Instead, a close alliance of disparate groups form a capital "L" Israeli Lobby that distorts US interests in the region. While this is lead by the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Lobby includes Jews and Gentiles alike:

<i> The Lobby also includes prominent Christian evangelicals like Gary Bauer, Jerry Falwell, Ralph Reed and Pat Robertson, as well as Dick Armey and Tom DeLay, former majority leaders in the House of Representatives, all of whom believe Israel’s rebirth is the fulfilment of biblical prophecy and support its expansionist agenda; to do otherwise, they believe, would be contrary to God’s will. Neo-conservative gentiles such as John Bolton; Robert Bartley, the former Wall Street Journal editor; William Bennett, the former secretary of education; Jeane Kirkpatrick, the former UN ambassador; and the influential columnist George Will are also steadfast supporters.</i>

<i> …the thrust of US policy in the region derives almost entirely from domestic politics, and especially the activities of the ‘Israel Lobby’. Other special-interest groups have managed to skew foreign policy, but no lobby has managed to divert it as far from what the national interest would suggest, while simultaneously convincing Americans that US interests and those of the other country – in this case, Israel – are essentially identical.</i>

Those attacking Mearsheimer and Walt suggest the duo outline a nefarious Jewish cabal with a stranglehold on American Mideast policy. Think smokey back rooms; think political and media domination; think subtle and sneaky manipulation of the unsuspecting, innocent gentile. Think historical stereotype.

Mearsheimer, Walt and their defenders counter that they neither suggest a cabal nor a monolithic Jewry driving the American body politic. Instead, a close alliance of disparate groups form a capital "L" Israeli Lobby that distorts US interests in the region. While this is lead by the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Lobby includes Jews and Gentiles alike:

<i> The Lobby also includes prominent Christian evangelicals like Gary Bauer, Jerry Falwell, Ralph Reed and Pat Robertson, as well as Dick Armey and Tom DeLay, former majority leaders in the House of Representatives, all of whom believe Israel’s rebirth is the fulfilment of biblical prophecy and support its expansionist agenda; to do otherwise, they believe, would be contrary to God’s will. Neo-conservative gentiles such as John Bolton; Robert Bartley, the former Wall Street Journal editor; William Bennett, the former secretary of education; Jeane Kirkpatrick, the former UN ambassador; and the influential columnist George Will are also steadfast supporters.</i>
