Jimmy Carter is responsible for Dad's early death at 71. He was a true American conservative and Birch member since December 1964 after he was fired from General Electric Company by LBJ Democrats. FDR and LBJ were socialist presidents as were Carter and Slick Willie Clinton. As for traitors to America, there;s always the Marine Corps firing squad to execute them. Best, BGen Peter F. Steele - Birch since May, 1994 - Peter Steele Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:27:33 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5002#comment-1404 The more things change, the more they stay the same. Consider our direction as you read this snippet from the Wikipedia article on Jacobins: Robespierre was viewed as the quintessential political force of the Jacobin Movement, thrusting ever deeper the dagger of liberty within the despotism of the Monarchy. As a disciple of Rousseau, Robespierre's political views were rooted in Rousseau's notion of the social contract, which promoted "the rights of man" (Schama; 1989; 475), but his was a vision of collective rights, rather than the rights of each individual. Robespierre expressed this view in the December 1792 condemnation of Louis XVI to death for treason:"It is with regret that I pronounce, the fatal truth: Louis ought to perish rather than a hundred thousand virtuous citizens; Louis must die, that the country may live." (Britannica, 1911) The ultimate political vehicle for the Jacobin movement was the Reign of Terror overseen by the Committee of Public Safety, who were given executive powers to purify and unify the Republic. The Committee instituted requisitioning, rationing, and conscription to consolidate new citizen armies. They instituted the Terror as a means of destroying those they perceived as enemies within: "Terror", said Robespierre, "is only justice that is prompt, severe and inflexible". The US Constitutional government, based on the principles of the Declaration of Independence, sound similar to French "Republicanism" but were quite different. We need the same discernment regarding solutions today. Great article, and thanks for the book recommendations! - Pat Henry Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:28:22 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5002#comment-1403 Do not forget that it is not only the "left" that runs for the big C. The "right," especially self-named Neo-conservatives that have taken over the RNC, are just another style of the same C / statists. The New American did an excellent article showing the Trotskyite roots of Neo-cons (after Ron Paul's Congressional speeches about their true Machaivellian might-makes-right agenda). In regard to Islamic terrorism, TNA also exposed the fact that Gorby, Putin, et. al. (meaning the OSS/CIA) are in large measure behind the politicized, trained machinery that uses the same tactic as always - Molotav-style anarchy and destabilization. Right and Left need deposed in favor of Constitutionalists. There is not, and never has been, another way to maintain freedom and prosperity across a large geography and libertarian society. - Pat Henry Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:24:16 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5002#comment-1401 Have you noticed when the world conspirators takes control of a nation they make a Communist nation of it? If it is not a Communist nation they war against it. - MarkGlen Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:07:40 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5002#comment-1399 It is quite true (imo) that the Communist Conspiracy is alive. However, and I have spoken to this point before, if we fail to see the larger structure, elite globalism (or what we today refer to as the International Banking Cartel), or what I like to call the Global Elite Brotherhood, which sits atop the geopolitical chessboard, then we will certainly miss the mark. The JBS, through its founder, Robert Welch, recognized long ago that communism was but a smaller cog in a much greater machine. Mr. Welch himself upgraded his philosophy in the 1970s to acknowledge this fact, for he, even then, understood who bankrolled and aided the reach and expanse of international Communism, just as that same machine once financed the rise of Nazism and Adolf Hitler to foment WWII and usher in the United Nations as a path to world government under its control. The JBS used to teach this understanding quite readily in its literature, with solid evidence and historical fact to back it up. HQ needs to get back to this understanding, linking the Communist Conspiracy to its rightful progenitors, less people be led astray into believing that International Communism is the Master Conspiracy which Mr. Welch so often eruditely spoke of. - Lal Wynstrom Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:12:39 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5002#comment-1398 "[C]ommunist infiltration and subversion" today is "now complete and total", yet it's still "growing and more prevalent"?? Russia and China are "financially, economically, and militarily stronger than the United States and Europe"??? Really? America spends more on national "defense" than all the other nations of the world put together. There simply is no nation on earth can match our military might. As for economic comparisons, obviously America's is a malinvested mess, but Russia still suffers from the economic and moral ills resultant from 70+ years of overt Communism (the real deal). China has much economic potential, but will likely also face difficulties resultant from its own monetary manipulations. And China's economy can hardly be labeled as an artifact of doctrinaire Marxism. "'Communist Conspiracy' is still alive and stronger than ever"?? This is a very bold assertion. Rather than merely citing one's credentials, throwing around some book titles, and engaging in logical "elephant hurling", why not development this thesis with specific proofs? Collectivism (in all its forms) and the lust for accumulated power will always be with us so long as man has a sin nature. Moreover, the dangers from both are easily demonstrated. But to assert that they stem from a *continuous* communist conspiracy sets the bar of our assertions probably higher than can be proven, and thus probably does more to raise objections than to educate about the danger. - David S.

Sotomayor is a RED. - Charles_Byrd Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:30:19 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5002#comment-1395 I think Revelations 9 verse 1 clearly prophesizes the future of the United States. " And the fifth angel sounded the trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven upon the earth, and there was given to him the key of the bottomless pit." many scholars intrepret this to mean the fall and apostasy of great and learned men from the true faith. Or a whole nation falling into error and separating from the church. That clearly describes the US as it continues at a lightning pace into a marxist, godless country. - Fred Zielasko Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:37:39 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5002#comment-1394 I am proud to say that not one single thing in this most excellent piece took me by surprise. I never once thought that Senator McCarthy was wrong. The "fall" of the soviet empire and the knocking down of the Berlin wall didn't fool me one iota. It's all "smoke and mirrors", as it were and I never once ever doubted that. There is one way and only one way to crush evil and that is to violently strike it down, and that has never yet been done completely. I'm absolutely certain that the worst is yet to come. - D.

God will annihilate them. God will use this example to show Israel and the world that He is in charge. Russia has never liked it that Israel aligned with the United States instead of the USSR. - MarkGlen Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:37:54 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5002#comment-1390 Four Stages of Communism I think to defeat Moslem terrorism we must neutralize the leftist establishment. The leftists or Communist are using Moslem terrorists to advance the cause of Communism. They will use anything to fight God's established order. Permit me to share the following with you. Four Stages of Communism, or four Steps to World-wide Equality, Slavery and Starvation: First stage: when communism is trying to gain control of a nation. Deterioration is noticed in arts and entertainment, political, educational and religious thought of a nation. Racial strife, a breakdown of the family unit, lawlessness and political correctness, and judges writing new laws: in brief, apostasy. (Sounds familiar, doesn't it?) Second stage: when communism has gained control of a nation. This stage is exemplified through the years from Vladimer Ilyich Lenin to Mikhail Gorbachev. During this phase big land holders and the middle class are brought to financial ruin by a planned demolishing of the economy or financial infrastructure. Third stage: where nations of the old Soviet Union are now. The Soviet Union that was is now known as the Commonwealth of Independent States. Communist land barons control the military and the government and the masses are too poor to overthrow them. (Communism is basically a land grab.) The large circle of bureaucrats or pampered fat cats of the second stage, have lost their status in government. They will not be allowed to regain their former status, although they will try. Fourth stage: the fourth stage is when all nations are members of a "Commonwealth of States." From this vantage point the world would be governed from Moscow, or wherever, through subservient representatives by a United Nations. Not a pretty picture, is it? - MarkGlen Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:18:49 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5002#comment-1389 But sometimes you have to change words lest you wear one out. - MarkGlen Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:13:46 +0100
