Legion, THY NAME is “Progressive”

Summary- Is there a global Progressive agenda to eliminate YOUR freedom? Are there Progressive plans, global plans, that unite such disparate Progressive elements as those in America, the Middle East, Europe, South America, and China? Do Progressives have more loyalty to their global agenda or their own nations?

When Jesus Christ confronted a possessed man, on one occasion, the demons possessing the man said, “we are legion” because there were MANY of them. As we confront a global phenomenon of oppression, bloodshed, and tyranny, we begin to see that a veritable legion of bad actors, of seemingly different stripes, are possessing the body politic of nations all over the globe.

This legion has a name, a name that means “the few rule the many in progressive stages because the many are not as enlightened as the few.” The NAME of that legion is “Progresivism.”

In the Muslim world, Progressivism takes the form of Pan-Islamic Jihad, a bid to create a caliphate of the rule of a few enlightened leaders, minus private property, private rights, or even the right to life (only the lives that are important to the new “state” would be worth saving).

These pan-Islamic Progressives may indeed seem much different than, say, the atheist Progressives of China or the pseudo-“Christian” Progressives of America, but they share the vision of a multination super-state without private property, private rights, or the right to life that is run by a few enlightened rulers.

Progressive regimes, and Progressives in America, are taking a similar approach to any dissent from their party line- silence the opposition by all possible means. The Progressive war on freedom is not new, but what is new is that the opposition to Progressivism around the world is truly growing, day by day, week by week, and the Progressive elites are beginning to see the writing on the wall that could spell their doom.

Progressives are not taking the upsurge in opposition to their tax-and-borrow ways, their cronyism, their “nudging” by regulatory fiat, and their wholesale attempts to take control over information content and distribution, lying down. They are, in fact, fighting back in an attempt to stop the forward march of unhindered freedom for the People, often by intoning the terms and language of liberty.

In America, the Progressive war machine is ramping up, with money from special trusts and foundations owned by billionaire sponsors of the Progressive movement, to use Union thugs, journolist smear merchants, and corrupt courts as a means of preventing the People’s will from being carried out, creating chaos on the streets and using such a “crisis” to excuse their authoritarian “remedies”, and unleashing smear campaign on anyone who speaks out against them. The objective of the American Progressives is to institute the kind of Progressive state the Chinese Progressives have created, complete with police powers and censorship to make their political party, the Democrat Party, the sole party in power.

The Progressives don’t just like to win an election, they want to destory any voice that dares rise up against them. When Christine O’Donnel dared shale up the Progressive nest in the Delaware GOP, defeating Progressive Mike Castle, it was not enough to use smars and lies to defeat her in the general election, the Progressive war machine is STILL trying to bring her down, trying to make it so that she cannot EVER pose a similar threat again. This is how Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman are treated on the national scale, and this is why Progressives are waging war on Glenn Beck, trying to force advertisers to pull their ads!

Make no mistake, the Progressive in America do not believe in the kind of Freedom most Americans embrace. While most Americans see liberty as the opportunity to pursue godliness, self-reliance, and self-determination, the Progressive use the world liberty as a cover for plain old negative self-indulgence at society’s expense, as in the case of so-called “gay marriage” or “no-fault divorce.” While most Americans see Security in terms of protecting and preserving their rights, their persons, and their property from all threats of all kinds, Progressive peddle a “security” based on hand-outs and dependence on government while they regard human life only in relation to its value to the state.

Progressivism and freedom are not at all compatible. Either Freedomists triumph and remove the bane of Progressivism from our communities, institutions, and governments or Progressives will snuff out the last embers of Freedom based on Liberty and Security which once inspired the whole nation.

Elsewhere, it is the same story. Progressives have already made Cuba a backwater of poverty, oppression, and despair. Progressive in Venezuela have rolled back the clock to a time of petty dictators and military juntas in a South American nation that was once proud of its standards of freedom and democracy.

In the Middle East and north Africa, Progressives are essentially at war with each other, which is providing an opening for some who want freedom from all forms of Progressive tyranny, whether that is the tyranny of a Mubarak or the tyranny of the Muslim Brotherhood.

With the aid of American Progressives, from BOTH parties, the Chinese Progressives have been able to convince many in America that giving China access to our markets is good because it will promote freedom and democracy. The markets were opened and now the Chinese Progressives are buying US debt, created by American Progressives, and they may even be funding the American Progressives, helping them to win elections based on fraud and lies.

Despite years of giving the Chinese a blank check to decimate US industries, through dumping, and allowing them to decimate our currency, the Chinese are NOT more free. While all that pseudo-capitalism has spurred some in China to yearn for more freedom, even that spark of liberation from the chains of Chinese Progressivism is being snuffed out as new crackdowns are occurring, crackdowns that are leaving more innocent civilians dead than have been killed in Libya!

Progressives may in fact be uniting more than we know, planning a global Progressive regimen through the agency of such entities as the UN, the World Trade Organization, the European Union, and other such entities. Whether the flavor of the day is “global terrorism”, “global financial crisis”, or “global climate change”, the “remedy” is always more government, less freedom, and more power to Progressives everywhere.

Progressives in America are a fifth column of quisling operatives who actively seek a future in which this nation, America, is no more than a “province” of the global progressive super-state they all talk so much about!

Progressives the world over are loyal, first and foremost, to their shared vision of a world united under a system that does not include private rights, private property, or the inherent value of human life. In the Progressive utopia, collective bargaining “rights”, as regulated by the state, matter more than individual rights, private property becomes only collective property, and human life only has value if it is in the interest of the state to protect that life, in other words only if that life is “worth it” to the state.

The Progressive war on freedom is a global war, and the players include billionaire financiers, governments, the journolist media, and multinational corporations run by and for Progressives. Progressivism is a clear and present danger to freedom wherever and however it rears its ugly head.

People are waking up, all over the world, and Progressivism is on the defensive, no longer enjoying a monopoly over information content and distribution, no longer enjoying an uncritical acceptance of their lies and empty promises, and no longer able to run from their track record of misery dipped in sorrow, smothered in oppression and poverty. For this reason, the Progressive war machine has woken up and, like Qhadafi’s mad dash to destroy his enemies before the no-fly zone could be implemented, Progressives are trying to put the genie of freedomism back into the bottle before it is too late, before the People can put up a “no fly zone” of their own against Progressives and their institutions of oppression, including the journolist media, corrupt courts, academia, the unions, billionaire trusts and foundations, and multinational corporations.

The question is not “will the Progressives fail”, the real question is, “how many people will be hurt by the Progressive BEFORE they can be defeated?”

japan nuclear meltdown explosion

Japanese workers are on a suicide mission, if need be, to save their country from nuclear meltdown. Meanwhile the Japanese politeness bubble is preventing the facts from getting out.

Japan Nuclear Meltdown, Japan Meltdown, Japan Nuclear, GE, World News

Japan’s Heroic Battle Against A Nuclear Melt-Down

The crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is moving into uncharted territory as workers deliberately risk their lives, and at least their health, to battle an ongoing nuclear melt-down. One worker, identified by the Japanese news service, NHK, is a 59 year old man who was just 6 months away from retirement- in agreeing to stay and battle the nuclear melt-down he was encouraged by his wife who urged him to “do your best to save the nation.”

Despite what is emerging as a heroic effort by workers on site to battle a nuclear melt-down, every hour seems to carry more bad news. What began as a crisis of one nuclear reactor has become an international nuclear crisis featuring three explosions, two fires, and radiation spikes that can be felt over 200 miles away (albeit not to deadly proportions outside of the 12 mile evacuation zone).

While the GE workers who were on site, as part of an ongoing GE contract to maintain the GE produced reactors, fled and were withdrawn by GE, the Japanese workers have stayed and are almost certainly in jeopardy of being over-exposed to high levels of radiation.

Getting to the truth, however, has been somewhat sketchy as information flowing out of the plant’s operator, Tokyo Energy Company (TEPCO) and the government has often been vague or outright wrong in light of actual observable events. As a “for instance”, while TEPCO and the government were touting the line that there is “no appreciable health risk”, the government was sending in workers in radiation-protection suits to test evacuees and some 190 persons have experienced some form of “radiation sickness.”

Part of the problem appears to be cultural, The Japanese pride themselves in being polite, which often translates to not being too direct. One American teacher in a news interview explained this with a story about how he was scolded once for asking for a day off. The problem wasn’t that he wanted a day off, the problem was his directness- he was told he should HINT about a NEED for a day off, thus giving his boss an opportunity to show magnanimity by OFFERING him a day off. By asking directly for a day off, he was being “rude” and not letting his boss have an opportunity to OFFER him the day off without having to be directly asked.

This may explain why the Japanese had such a hard time with asking for foreign aid during the Kobe earthquake crisis. By asking directly, not giving the foreign governments a chance to see the need and offer help, the Japanese would have been “rude.” This time around the US and other governments were very pro-active in offering help, and therefore the Japanese were able to quickly accept that help.

As TEPCO and the Government release news and information, observers who are aware of the Japanese culture of politeness are trying to “read between the lines” to see what is REALLY being said, while, for their part, the Japanese seem to be getting more direct, realizing that most foreign observers will not get their indirectness. Last night the Japanese government spokesman announced the withdrawal of workers from the plant and, in a very un-Japanese manner, was extremely explicit. He said that the workers were all withdrawn, that not even a minimal amount of work could be done, and that efforts to combat the nuclear meltdown were at a stand-still.

This directness is not customary and, while in America we expect such directness, in Japan, this directness is itself an alarming sign of how serious things are. Because these things were said to the Japanese audience, in Japanese, it may not be so easy to dismiss the directness as a concession to foreign observers, although it may in fact be pressure from foreign governments that is compelling the Japanese to speak so directly.

If over-statement is a characteristic of the middle eastern cultures, from time immemorial, under-statement is a characteristic of many far-eastern cultures. The West’s penchant for exactitude is seen as being “unsophisticated” by both cultures, leading to much confusion as to meaning and intent.

In their own sophisticated way, the Japanese are telling a tale of a massive localized crisis that could potentially have greater health implications for a larger region if it is not contained by what may amount to a suicide mission on the part of workers in the plant affected. A middle easterner might call this “Armageddon” while a far easterner might call this “somewhat of a serious problem, potentially”, but the exact truth, in this case, may be somewhere in the middle.

However you see it, most all agree that the heroic workers are battling a monster and their willingness to lay down their lives if need be, where others fled, is truly dramatic! Nobody faults the GE workers for leaving, even if they fault GE itself for the technology and their failure to foresee such a crisis, and this only makes the sacrifice the Japanese workers are willing to make all the more praise-worthy.

To risk your life in general is worthy of praise, but to risk your life against such danger, and almost certainty of serious harm, in a cause that is not likely to succeed, is beyond what anyone could ask.

America Without The Truth

The REAL Problem and the Path Forward 

The new head of the Republican Party joined a virtual mass choir of voices trying to make the case that a GOP win in 2012 is the only thing that will save America from the liberal (progressive) onslaught against our precious freedoms. That there is a Progressive war on true freedom (freedom founded on godliness, self-reliance, and self-determination) is clear, but is that REALLY the problem and is the GOP getting majorities in government and picking the next President the solution to the problem? 

If the problem is political, then the solution would be political. 

THAT IS NOT THE CASE! 

The Bible says that “righteousness exalts a nation.” 

If you don’t believe the Bible, you won’t believe that. If you DO believe the Bible, then you have to believe that. So, the real issue is, do you believe in what the Bible says or do you believe in what those who deny the Bible say? 

Let’s be clear: if you say you believe the Bible, then you have to know what it says and at least do your level best to follow what it says. If you say “I believe the Bible” and then ignore its words, then you are like someone who says “I love you” but treats the other person badly, and not with love. 

Around 63% of Americans believe the Bible is at least inspired by God and is true, although over half of those believe it is literally the Word of God. This really hasn’t changed over the past several decades, despite years of Bible-hating propaganda.

If the Bible is right, then it isn’t “freedom” to “do your own thing” that “exalts a nation.” It is “righteousness”. 

This word means “to do right”, or to do what is RIGHT. Like it says in Romans 13 “owe no man anything” but “render to each their due”. That is a sort of “righteousness”, and we see in Romans 13 that the state is empowered to punish the evildoers: evildoers who violate right standards in terms of the way we treat each other and Creation. 

If the state protects evildoers, who do WRONG, all in the name of FREEDOM (see 1 Peter 2 where it says we should not use liberty as a cloak for evil), while making life difficult for people who are doing right, then that state is in danger of losing not only its “freedom” but its very life! 

YOU CANNOT BREAK GOD’S LAWS and expect things will go well! 

America as a nation has long forgotten, and rejected, this truth. America’s leaders don’t even think that such ideas have any legitimate place in the realm of public policy or politics. 

Herein is the REAL problem. America’s political institutions have separated themselves from the influence of God’s Word, they have rejected God’s standards for human conduct and the way we use God’s Creation. 

That’s a fact. You can use any amount of philosophizing, arguing over what the founders said or didn’t say, or whatever you wish, but if God is real and the Bible is right, then the assumption that government, public policy, and politics should not conform to a Biblical standard of righteousness within its ordained sphere of authority is not merely wrong, but it is dangerously wrong! 

The problem is simple. America has removed the influence of God and His Word from its government, public policy, and politics in a way that can only earn this ungodly state God’s Divine Retribution. This won’t come from mere men and their schemes, God does not need any help, it will come from God’s own hand. 

The problem points to the solution.

If YOU believe the Bible is true, then you believe that righteousness exalts a nation, therefore when YOU decide who and what to support in any election or vote, then YOU must consult the Word of God as well as your common sense and then your own interests, IN THAT ORDER. 

Whoever wins the election in 2012, if the American voters don’t embrace the Word of God as the best standard for determining how people should treat each other, how we should treat God’s Creation, and how our government should serve its role to punish the evildoer and protect those who do good, then NOTHING can save the state from whatever God decides to do because of its rejection of HIS AUTHORITY.

It is TIME For A “Freedom Uprising” In America!- Bill Collier, Freedomist

The battle for our country’s future is being fought in the streets, but the forces for freedom are being out-spent and out-fought by the Progressives who have the unions, big money from men like George Soros, and journolist media led by the likes of Michael Moore. Bloggers and new media providers can inspire and educate people to form their own local “Freedom Corps” made up of people who attend street events (protests, counter protests, demonstrations, rallies) and people who donate to help support those who go to these events.

—————————–

NOTE- If you own a blog or website and are interested in this idea, drop me a line at [email protected] and let me know. If I get more than a dozen responses, I will set up a phone conference, share my ideas, hear YOUR ideas, and between us, we can all decide what to do next. If I don’t get more than a dozen responses, I’ll take that as a sign that “our side” is just NOT yet ready to work together.

—————————–

WE ARE BEING BEATEN ON THE STREETS- In Wisconsin, the GOP stands to lose their recent gains because the Progressives are on the streets and the airwaves with their lies and smears against the governor and the GOP in general. In New York, Progressives and their Pan-Islamic allies are banging the drums for multiculturalism gone amok over legitimate inquiries by Representative Steve King over the emergence of Pan-Islam in America.

Of course the journolist media uses images of large crowds of these paid protestors to paint a picture as if those who are not with the protestors are in the majority.

The Progressives have a central command structure, lots of money, control over the journolist media, and armies of mindless drones who will do and say whatever their paymasters want them to do and say.

NO COMPLAINING WILL HELP US- We can talk about how we think they have some unfair advantages, how they use taxpayer dollars or how they use discrimination to gain control over institutions but none of that is going to help us.

In the end, we need to find a way to marshal superior numbers and more effectively reach out to the public with our message, a message which must be truthful, simple, direct, and repeated often.

What can we do as information providers, writers, bloggers, and new media professionals?

We have the power of instigating ideas into becoming a reality.

This means that if we all create a picture of a possible future, where our side outflanks the opposition on the streets and in the LOCAL media, that activists will pick up those ideas and use them.

This is the way Tea Parties got started.

A few individuals saw Rick Santelli, decided he had the right idea, and started to make noise about it.

I was on some of those conference calls and one of the things we talked about was the need for a nationwide effort that was not controlled from the center. We beat the drum, using our blogs or networks (I promoted things via Freedomist and through Team Sarah), and where possible we lent our resources to help (we own localteaparties.com and taxdayteaparty.org which we used to simply provide information.)

We need to go beyond the Tea Parties to create locally controlled groups of people who will hit the streets when the opposition is hitting the streets, and we need to encourage them to cooperate and coordinate when major nationwide efforts are needed.

On April 4th the Progressives plan something like a “day of rage” for Government Unions. We need bigger numbers to show up and make a visible showing for the People.

These Progressive robots who go out and rally for socialism, under some other disguise, have the advantage of being able to get paid to protest.

Our side needs to encourage employers to let people participate without losing pay, we need to encourage people who can’t attend to donate a little money to help pay for buses, food, supplies to help those who can attend these events.

WE MUST ASSUME PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSTIGATING NEW IDEAS- In short, we need to provide ideas and a blueprint, write about them, link to each other, and even coordinate together to hold phone conferences where we can talk about ideas for organizing and invite would-be organizers to attend. Let them set up their own groups and run with the idea, we can simply fade into the background, having done our job.

ONE MAIN IDEA, ONE AGREED UPON NAME- We need a single name for this, and I don’t think “Tea Parties” is the name. Tea Parties will likely sponsor it, and organize it, but this needs its own name.

I propose the name “Freedom Corps” as the name for these local groups of 100-200 participants (people who GO to events) and at least another 200-300 “supporters”, people who pledge to pitch in $10-$50 per event to help offset any costs for buses, lodging, food, and etc. to support the participants.

Of course, larger scale organizing will naturally occur as local groups exchange ideas, coordinate, and decide on a shared structure to plan and organize large scale events. This will continue upwards until a national network of sorts is in place, rising from below (not imposed from above).

OUR ROLE IS TO INSTIGATE AND BACK OFF- Our role, as writers and new media providers, is not so much to organize these groups as to bang the drums on their need and provide ideas for what they should do and how local people might organize themselves to form such groups. If people surf the web and see the freedom corps idea referred to over and over again, they will want to participate.

WE CAN ALL SHARE THE BURDEN- Between us, we can all pitch in on the information side. Each of us might take a part of the country and host an information page where people in those parts can input meeting information or contact information. A shared domain could be used to host a map which you click on to find local information. When people click on an area, it takes them to a page hosted by one of us, which has a way for people to see current information and input new information.

We could also create a twitter group and a hashtag to share information, a facebook page and group, and yahoo groups for mailing lists by region so people can talk to people in their area. This could also be shared work with each of us taking charge of groups or being “on duty” to man the main twitter account to ensure that information is flowing 24-7 during an event (this means that all participants have access to that account.)

NO “ORGANIZATION” NEEDED!- None of this requires an organization, none of us “own” it, and any donations would be made to LOCAL groups who could then share their resources if they join with other local groups to form regional or state networks.

Reagan once said that if you want to get things done, don’t take credit for things. Most of the people who beat the drum and initially pushed the idea for Tea Parties are unknown. It was never intended for it to be otherwise.

WE HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN- If we can encourage people and inspire them, and if we can motivate them and even educate them, and then disappear, that is all fine and well. Our job is not to organize and lead, per se, but, rather, to beat the drum, facilitate things, and then let the participants take over and do their thing.

If people see all of the writers, news suites, and blogs that are pro-Freedom all writing and talking about the SAME BASIC IDEA, then they will feel more confident that it may work and want to participate in it.

DON’T FRUSTRATE THE PEOPLE!- On the other hand, if people see all these blogs, web pages, and news sites all touting THEIR OWN idea, that they want to own, all with different approaches, many of which are contradictory, then they will become bogged down, confused, and they will lose confidence.

ONE VOICE ON A LIMITED SCALE- We need to start finding ways, at least on a limited scale, to speak with ONE VOICE, or the opposition will beat us EVERY TIME. If we cannot do amongst ourselves what we want our elected leaders to do, then what right do we have to demand of them that which we refuse to do ourselves?

ARE WE READY TO WORK TOGETHER? If you own a blog or website and are interested in this idea, drop me a line at [email protected] and let me know. If I get more than a dozen responses, I will set up a phone conference, share my ideas, hear YOUR ideas, and between us, we can all decide what to do next. If I don’t get more than a dozen responses, I’ll take that as a sign that “our side” is just NOT yet ready to work together.
