Public Address, July 4, 2009, Norwich, CT Town Green:
I read this the other day: Top 10 Best States for Personal Freedom; published in Human Events, 06/30/2009
The freest state is New Hampshire, followed by Colorado, South Dakota, Texas, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, Arizona, and North Dakota. New York is the least free, followed by New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, and Maryland.
….CONNECTICUT IS NEAR THE BOTTOM…
I am from Hartford, Connecticut, one of the original 13 colonies. Connecticut’s colonial and revolutionary history was well known to me even as a boy. I lived in Hartford’s South End which was only a short bike ride to where a backwater of the ‘long tidal river’ (the Connecticut River) forms the cove at Old Wethersfield - Connecticut’s oldest town. There are 300 landmark historic houses in Wethersfield, 50 of them built before the American Revolution.
As a boy I knew that George Washington and the French General Rochambeau planned the Yorktown Campaign at the Joseph Webb house in Wethersfield. Webb’s home was General Washington’s Headquarters for a while.
Silas Deane, Joseph Webb, and Isaac Stevens, all Wethersfield men whose names were as familiar to me as friends and I was a recurrent visitor to their Colonial homes, which were open to the public.
I visited these and other sites maintained by the Colonial Dames and the Wethersfield Historical Society, places kept as living museums, many furnished with Colonial Era antiques and in some cases with possessions owned by the families.
Nathan Hale, from Coventry, Connecticut, rode with Tom Knowlton’s Rangers while under the command of Connecticut General Israel Putnam.
In college I lived less than a mile from the Hale Homestead and had already been to the Hale residence many times before then.
General Putnam was an original member of the legendary Roger’s Rangers, named for Major Robert Rogers, Father of the American Ranger and author of ‘Roger’s Standing Orders.’
The point: Those who once inhabited these places where America was born were not abstractions to me - the boy who wandered in and out of their kitchens, sitting rooms, hallways, and barns.
That boy felt kinship and attachment to their lives as well as to their passion for and commitment to American liberty, a devotion that I was to make my own precisely because of their example which was both close and distant.
The rich colonial history of Connecticut and the independent, hard working, innovative spirit of the Connecticut Yankee was as much a part of my cultural heritage as my European ethnicity.
Connecticut is called the Constitution State because the ‘Fundamental Orders of Connecticut’ was the first written document to create a system of self-governance – ANYWHERE.
The Fundamental Orders established local (State’s) rights, preserved individual rights as the foundation of a just government by consent and under God, and put limitations on government in 1639…
…150 YEARS BEFORE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Connecticut was known as the Provisions State because Connecticut supplied most of the food and cannons for the Continental Army during the Revolutionary war.
In fact, the Stanton-Davis Farm of Stonington, right down the road there, was a Revolutionary War Provisioner. It is still in operation today and has not missed a harvest since 1654!
It was Connecticut beef and corn that kept Washington’s Army from starvation at Valley Forge.
And Connecticut has been known as the ‘Arsenal of Democracy’ for the many firearms and munitions manufacturers that have called Connecticut home.
In Viet Nam I carried an M-16 rifle and a Colt .45 automatic pistol manufactured by Colt’s in Hartford, shotguns and ammunition made by Remington Arms, of Bridgeport, and a machete manufactured by the Collins Company of Collinsville.
I might have been 10,000 miles away from home but the people of Connecticut, their sweat, their toil, and all of their skill was with me in things I could hold, use, and depend on to keep me alive. I knew that then, I remember it now.
It was my honor as much as it was my duty to serve my State and my nation in the jungles of Viet Nam…and 34 Years later again, in the deserts of Iraq…
BUT IT WAS NOT MY RIGHT TO DO SO.
It was and remains a privilege to serve in the armed forces, the privilege of military service a concept handed down in the ancient Code of Chivalry that the man at arms serves only at the pleasure of God and King.
Does anyone remember when police were called ‘Peace Officers?’
A Peace officer focused on keeping the public peace, the people’s well being was the focus.
Now we have ‘Law Enforcement Officer’s whose focus is on enforcement of the law; “Force” being the operative concept…
TODAY we have a ‘Brother’ in the white house alright – ‘Big Brother,’ and Barrak Hussein Obama is absolutely Orwellian in every measure of the word.
In Obama…
• We have a President who can’t find his Birth Certificate but the Government of Kenya has established his birthplace there as a national monument.
• We witnessed the inauguration of a President where the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court omitted key words.
• We have a President who believes in and is an outspoken advocate of late term Abortion.
• We have a President who Bowed To the Saudi King.
• Obama dishonored the Flag and refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance in a public place.
• He dare not speak without a teleprompter.
• He has Communists for friends and supporters.
• His preacher for more than 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, hates America.
• And Barrack Hussein Obama is a friend to Bill Ayers and Ayers’ wife, Bernadine Dohrn – SDS terrorists who allied themselves to the NVA during the Viet Nam War.
I WAN’T TO ASK YOU,
Do we have a Communist in the White house or just a run-of-the-mill Socialist? Maybe you can tell the difference – I can’t. To me one is just in more of a hurry than the other…
Here are some quotes from Marx and Lenin, appropriate for THIS 4th of July, 2009, in Norwich, CT.
• “Take away a nation's heritage and they are more easily persuaded." Karl Marx (Was talking about the NEA?)
• “Democracy is indispensable to socialism.” V.I. Lenin
• “Democracy is the road to socialism.” Karl Marx
• “The goal of socialism is communism.” V.I. Lenin
REMINDER : WE DO NOT LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY
THE U.S. CONSTITUTION GUARANTEES FOR US A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT IN ARTICLE IV, SECTION 4.
So who were Obama’s supporters’s during the Campaign: Here is a partial List:
President of Iran – Mahmud Ahmadinejad
Bill Ayers
Fidel Castro
Raul Castro
Hugo Chavez
Communist Party of Illinois
Communist Party USA
Scads of SDS terrorists like Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn who was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted for over a decade.
Jane Fonda – you remember her – Hanoi Jane?
NARAL (Abortion Lobby: you know them: Save the Whales, Kill the Babies…)
Planned Parenthood (the largest single Abortion Provider in the country and heavily funded with your tax dollars.)
NEA and all of the little ‘EA’s: among the greatest consumers of government largesse with so little to show for it. Remember Hillary’s, “IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD?” Well, I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said: “IT TAKES A SCHOOL TO BANKRUPT A VILLAGE.” Our kids rank lower on comparative scales with the rest of the developed world and because of what they do not learn in school they are increasingly disconnected with their own heritage.
Black Panther Party (New)
ACORN
NORMAL (Marijuana legalization lobby) – ‘Potheads for Obama,’
Cora Weiss, (Collaborator with the NVA and Hanoi Politburo; Director of the Committee of Liaison – tried to force families of POW’s to make propaganda in exchange for contact with their POW family members held by Hanoi. No POW family accepted her tainted offer.)
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)
Progressive Caucus (US House of Representatives; socialist; linked to the DSA)
Daniel Ortega, (Sandinista), Communist President of Nicaragua and friend of Chris Dodd
Moamar Qadhafi - Libyan Dictator and terrorist mastermind.
Socialist Party USA; Socialist Party of Connecticut
Young Communist League
Muslim American Society: Originally, ‘Muslim Brotherhood,’ they endorse suicide bombings as "martyr operations…not suicide.”
Speaking of suicide bombers, do you know Code Pink Founder, Jodie Evans - Obama met with Jodie Evans, at his $5 million Hollywood fundraiser and was photographed with her there. Evans supported the terrorists in Iraq and said in an interview that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had a "valid argument" for attacking America on Sept. 11, 2001. Yep – another friend of B.O.
I know what’s right with America. I don’t have any trouble talking about what is right with America; what concerns me is what is WRONG with America TODAY:
How far is New London from Norwich? 20 miles? Do You Remember The Little Pink House in Norwich? Kelo v. City of New London? Suzette Kelo? Norwich took her house and gave it to another person to sell for a profit…And the Supreme Court is ok with that…
In America today the police can drag a mother from her car for not wearing a seatbelt, handcuff her, take her kids out of their car seats and put them into state custody as they haul mommy off to jail, and the Supreme Court is ok with that, too.
Our armies are all over the world and we are in a weakened state right here at home and cannot protect our own borders - but what does that matter when politicians on their own initiative create ‘sanctuary’ cities like New Haven and Hartford, and welcome illegal immigrants with access to social services that we as taxpayers pay for? (Pause)
We are in an Orwellian state of PERPETUAL WAR FOR PERPETUAL PEACE.
BTW: More Americans were murdered in California than have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan in 5 years
And speaking of the Americans in uniform who risk everything for this country – THEIR country - Remember when Janet Napolitano of the DHS said this:
"The possible passage of new laws relaxing restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergency of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.”
DON’T YOU LOVE THEIR WAY WITH WORDS?
…I don’t know about you, but a politician who won’t trust me with a gun I don’t trust with my vote…
AND - Who said this?
Barrack Hussein Obama:
“A Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is the President of the United States…
"THIS IS A WATERSHED ELECTION WHICH CHANGES THE FATE OF THE WORLD. The world now becomes very much less safe for all of us as a result.
"Those of us who have looked on appalled during this most frightening of American presidential elections – at the suspension of reason and its replacement by thuggery -- can only hope that the way this man governs will be very different from the profile provided by his influences, associations and record to date.
"It’s a faint hope – THE ENEMIES OF AMERICA, FREEDOM AND ALL OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION WILL CERTAINLY BE REJOICING TODAY.”
(The Spectator.co.uk; Melanie Phillips, 4 and 5 November 2008. http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips)
Why is Bill Ayers, that REVOLUTIONARY, TERRORIST, AMERICA-HATING toad from Chicago, even worth mentioning?
Because he is what he is and he is a friend and mentor of Barrack Hussein Obama and THIS is what Bill Ayers, the Professor of Children’s Education, wrote in his book, Prairie Fire:
"Our final goal is the...the seizure of power, and the creation of socialism."
Ayres' Book, Prairie Fire, is dedicated to Sirhan Sirhan – convicted killer of Robert F. Kennedy.
Obama launched his political career in Bill Ayer’s living room. On that day, Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn welcomed the Obama’s and members of the media into their living room where they had a copy of the FBI’s ‘Ten Most Wanted’ book displayed on their coffee table, OPEN TO THE PAGE OF Ayer’s wife, Bernadine Dohrn who was on the FBI’s Most Wanted List for 10 years.
Under an Obama presidency the links to our brilliant American Past, let us hope, is only interrupted. The uniquely American character of opportunity, innovation, and optimism has been replaced by uncertainty as the Obama socialist agenda wraps our future in its web and injects the heart and soul of America with its venom.
A vote for Obama was a vote for the ACLU, the National Lawyer’s Guild, and the parasitic Socialist International, known in Congress as the ‘Congressional Progressive Caucus.’ Look it up – they are all Democrats.
We have lived under a one-party system since at least the administration of Woodrow Wilson - one party with one idea: Separate you from your wealth with oppressive taxation and use the money to strip you of your rights.
One party with two factions – Democrat and Republican:
• Under the veil of compromise the Democrat and Republican Party delivers conspiracy.
• The Democrat and Republican Party promises reform but delivers revolution.
• And the Democrat and Republican Party at every level profanes the sacred institutions of this nation as it dismantles our past for a collectivist future.
The Democrat and Republican Party has for decades pursued an agenda that has brought America to the edge of extinction, encumbered our liberties with chains, and daily subjects us to the arrogance and effrontery of office-holders who have nothing but contempt for the American people and for our country.
THEY DON’T BELONG HERE ANYMORE.
My last words to you on this 4th of July of 2009 come to us from a long ago time, when the future of America was also in doubt:
I quote:
“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own (Suzette Kelo, are you listening?); whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, UNDER GOD, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.” GEORGE WASHINGTON, [address to the Continental Army before the battle of Long Island, Aug. 27, 1776]
AND
“We should never despair. Our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth New Efforts and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times.” GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Major General Philip Schuyler, Jul. 15, 1777
Washington’s light shines to us through the ages, driving out the darkness pledged by Barack Hussein Obama and his legion of conspirators. He is not alone in this conspiracy.
We must survive the next four years…
…AND SEND SOMEONE TO CONGRESS WHO KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN.
THANK YOU…
The Roman

George Orwell Quotes
Quotes by George Orwell
English essayist, novelist, & satirist (1903 - 1950)
Big Brother is watching you - right now.
Communist Party: All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.
Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
In the end the party would announce that 2 plus 2 made 5, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim, sooner or later, the logic of their position demanded it. George Orwell, in 1984
Communist Party: The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.
Liberal: a power worshipper without power.
Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.
On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good and not quite all the time.
At age 50, every man has the face he deserves.
Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent.
Political language - and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists - is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solid geometry to pure wind.
The greatest enemy of clear language is insincerity.
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.
War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.
Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle.
On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
If you want to imagine the future [under socialism/communism], imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever.
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength
From the totalitarian point of view, history is something to be created rather than learned.
Freedom is the right to say two plus two make four. If granted, all else follows.
Being in a minority, even a minority of one, did not make you mad.
Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.
In general, the greater the understanding, the greater the delusion: the more intelligent, the less sane.
One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish a dictatorship.
The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.
What you say or do doesn't matter: only feelings matter.
They can make you say anything - ANYTHING - but they can't make you believe it.
Orthodoxy means not thinking - not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.
The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.
Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance.
The new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed.
In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.
No doubt alcohol, tobacco, and so forth, are things that a saint must avoid, but sainthood is a thing that human beings must avoid.
Orthodoxy means not thinking--not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.
He who controls the past controls the future.
If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
Words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details.
In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning.
A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? An unscrupulous writer is the opposite.
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.
Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
The future is a boot smashing a human face forever.
When man turns tyrant it is his own freedom he destroys.
By lack of understanding they remained insane.
Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.
Certain backward areas have advanced, and various devices always in some way connected with warfare and police espionage have developed, but experiment and invention have largely stopped.
Sanity is not statistical.
..nor did he pause to reflect that hereditary aristocracies have always been short lived where as adoptive organizations such as the Catholic Church sometimes lasted for hundreds or thousands of years.
If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable รข€“ what then?
An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.
Political language. . . is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
By the fourth decade of the twentieth century all the main currents of political thought were authoritarian. The earthly paradise had been discredited at exactly the moment when it became realizable.
Every new political theory, by whatever name it called itself, led back to hierarchy and regimentation. And in the general hardening of outlook that set in round about 1930, practices which had been long abandoned, in some cases for hundreds of years — imprisonment without trial, the use of war prisoners as slaves, public executions, torture to extract confessions, the use of hostages, and the deportation of whole populations — not only became common again, but were tolerated and even defended by people who considered themselves enlightened and progressive.
In the past no government had the power to keep its citizens under constant surveillance. The invention of print, however, made it easier to manipulate public opinion, and the film and the radio carried the process further.
With the development of television, and the technical advance which made it possible to receive and transmit simultaneously on the same instrument, private life came to an end.
Every citizen, or at least every citizen important enough to be worth watching, could be kept for twenty-four hours a day under the eyes of the police and in the sound of official propaganda, with all other channels of communication closed.
The possibility of enforcing not only complete obedience to the will of the State, but complete uniformity of opinion on all subjects, now existed for the first time.” 1984
In a world in which everyone worked short hours. Had enough to eat. Lived in a house with a bathroom and a refrigerator, and possessed a motor-car or even an aeroplane, the most obvious and perhaps the most important form of inequality would already have disappeared.
If it once became general, wealth would confer no distinction.
It was possible, no doubt, to imagine a society in which wealth, in the sense of personal possessions and luxuries, should be evenly distributed, while power remained in the hands of a small privileged caste. But in practice such a society could not long remain stable.
For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves. And when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance. George Orwell 1984
The Revolution and the Party:
The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake.
We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power.
We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing.
All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites.
The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives.
They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal.
We are not like that.
We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.
Power is not a means, it is an end.
One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
The object of persecution is persecution.
The object of torture is torture.
The object of power is power.
Now you begin to understand. - George Orwell 1984

The Revolution and the Party:
The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake.
The party is not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power.
The Party is different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites.

How the Viet nam Veterans Against the War Morphed into the Viet Nam Veterans of America
The Vietnam Veterans of America: the ‘VVA.’ – would never have survived without the help of Jane Fonda and, of all people, Bruce Springsteen:
John Kerry, co-founder of the Vietnam Veterans of America with Bobby Muller, the organization that has a wreath decorating Ho Chi Minh’s grave.
Below, See: Michael Kranish; kranish@globe.com;© Copyright 2003 Globe Newspaper Company:
“… Bobby Muller, the paraplegic Vietnam Vet…inspired the Bruce Springsteen hit, 'Born in the U.S.A.,’ is a close friend of John Kerry…
Rock star Bruce Springsteen helped save the fledgling VVA, which was struggling for cash because the organization never drew large numbers of Vietnam Vets to its membership. …In fact, Bruce Springsteen and Jane Fonda in many ways made possible the success of the Vietnam Veterans of America. The VVA was dying on the vine – Springsteen performed benefit concerts for the VVA, which, of course was originally called the Vietnam Veterans Against the War…
Bobby Muller, “My favorite Vietnam War movie is, ‘Platoon.’ [It's also Hanoi's favorite movie.]
“Both Kerry and Muller were presumed to be future stars when they became officers and served in Vietnam. Both returned with purple hearts and hero status and joined the antiwar movement…Their parallel lives continued as both went to law school -- Muller to Hofstra, Kerry to Boston College…in 1978, they co-founded (with two others) Vietnam Veterans of America...
“Like Kerry (Muller also went to Vietnam as a college graduate in 1968. Muller was 23 years old.), Muller became an outspoken opponent of the war, appearing at rallies and on national television shows, but with the added bona fide of being a paraplegic.
Muller also contributed a chapter to Kerry's 1971 antiwar trashing of the Vietnam War and the veteran, ''The New Soldier.'' ''As far as I'm concerned, Bobby Muller is one of the great heroes of the veterans' efforts in the country,'' Kerry says.
“But, In December 1981, a few months after Springsteen's benefit concert, Muller went to Hanoi as part of his campaign to get the United States to normalize relations with Vietnam.
Bobby Muller, with financial backing from Jane Fonda and Bruce Springsteen, was able to travel to Hanoi where he laid a wreath on [the VVA’s] behalf at the mausoleum of communist leader Ho Chi Minh. A card with said: ''With Respect, Vietnam Veterans of America.''
“The visit ''caused a firestorm back here in the States,'' recalled John Terzano, who was with Muller on the trip and is now vice president of the Vietnam Veterans Foundation. Some veterans called Muller a traitor who should be tried for treason.
But Muller thinks he was just ahead of his time; this was long before Kerry returned to Vietnam [and advocated the same thing] and 14 years before President Clinton normalized relations.
[In an NPR interview, Muller said: “The process of normalization with Vietnam was dealt a tremendous setback by President Reagan in focusing on our war dead and casting in political terms the issue of accounting for the missing…”
In the same interview, Muller, speaking about Sen. John McCain, said,
“…(McCain) was the only person that I recommended (emphasis added) to the Vietnamse not be given a visa to visit their country. The reason I suggested he not be granted the visa was because he was so angry towards the Vietnamese because of his wartime experience.” So Booby Muller has some juice with the Hanoi Politburo...
…Senator McCain was a POW - in lengthy periods of solitary confinement - by the North Vietnamese Army, for 7 years. He was physically and psychologically tortured, and like other PO’s, kept on a starvation diet.
Bobby Muller, (friend of John Kerry and Jane Fonda)…apparently carried some weight with the Hanoi government. His statements indicate that Hanoi sought the VVA leader’s opinion on which Americans should and who shouldn’t be allowed to travel to that communist country.
Additional comments by Muller in this NPR interview:
[it was] “…the veterans that had gone into the villages and killed the women and children;” and,
“…Our organization grew out of the Vietnam veteran movement in the late 70’s…” (the VVAW).”
The VVA and its 1981 offshoot, the Vietnam Veterans Foundation, were more stable financially because of the Springsteen concert.
''Without Bruce Springsteen, there would be no Vietnam veteran’s movement,'' Muller often says. (Today Muller heads only the foundation, which is separate from the VVA.)
“Three-fourths of the foundation's $13 million budget comes from the US government.
[Muller today is concerned about the US involvement in Iraq – and Kerry is busy back-peddling on his Senate votes about the war.]
''This is Vietnam all over again,'' said Muller.”

Curious “Facts” (but mostly untrue) reported in “Glossary of Vietnam War Terms, from the, “Vietnam Era Educational Center, a part of the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Foundation, an offshoot of the VVA:
VVA: Vietnam Veterans of America. … was founded in the late 1970s by Bobby Muller, Jim Pechin, and other former VVAW activists [John Kerry, not mentioned in the ‘glossary,’ is one of the VVA’s four founding officers.);
“the Vietnam Veterans of America has grown to become the nation's largest organization of Vietnam Veterans…
Fact: the VVA has never grown much above 30,000, and at least half of that are ‘honorary members’ who never served in Vietnam or even in the military…while the AMerican Legion and the VFW each had over half a million Viet Nam Vets.
VVAW -the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. This was an antiwar organization formed in the mid-1960s. Its membership peaked at approximately 20,000 members, including 2,500 on active duty in Vietnam, in 1971. Fact: A completely implausible number…
Kerry as Senator, and things Viet Nam: Atrocity by Parliamentary Procedure
Washington Times, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, December 6, 2002:
“Senator Kerry lobbied for renewed trade relations with Hanoi. At the same time, his cousin, C. Stewart Forbes, chief executive for Colliers International, assisted in brokering a $905 million deal to develop a deep-sea port at Vung Tau, Vietnam — a not-so-odd coincidence.
“…in the ‘Inside Politics’ column of Nov. 14 (Nation), historian Douglas Brinkley is writing Mr. Kerry's biography.
Hopefully, he'll include the senator's latest ignominious feat: preventing the Vietnam Human Rights Act (HR2833) from coming to a vote in the Senate, claiming human rights would deteriorate as a result.
His actions sent a clear signal to Hanoi that Congress cares little about the human rights for which so many Americans fought and died.
“The State Department ranked Vietnam among the 10 regimes worldwide least tolerant of religious freedom. Recently, 354 churches of the Montagnards, a Christian ethnic minority, were forcibly disbanded, and by mid-October, more than 50 Christian pastors and elders had been arrested in Dak Lak province alone.
“On Oct. 29, the Vietnamese secret police executed three Montagnard’s by lethal injection simply for protesting religious repression. The communists are conducting a pogrom against the Montagnards, forcing Christians to drink a mixture of goat's blood and alcohol and renounce Christianity.
“Thousands have been killed or imprisoned or have just "disappeared." The Montagnards lost one-half of their adult male population fighting for the United States, and without them, there might be thousands more American ****s on that somber black granite wall at the Vietnam memorial.

On Labor Day weekend 1970, Kerry - then a rising star with Vietnam Veteran Against the War - teamed up with Janer Fonda as the two headlined an ugly anti-war in rally in Valley Forge, Pa., railing against U.S. policy in Southeast Asia from the back of the same flatbed truck.
The photo shows "Hanoi Jane" listening raptly as speakers denounced American soldiers for committing "genocide" in Vietnam and accusing the U.S. of "international racism."
Three rows behind 'Hanoi Jane" sits a man who bears a striking resemblance to the Democratic presidential front-runner. According to Corbis Images, which owns the image, the photo was taken at the same 1970 Valley Forge protest that turned Sen. Kerry into an anti-war star.
Douglas Brinkley's biography, "Tour of Duty" chronicles Kerry's exploits at Valley Forge, where he reportedly followed Fonda onto the back of that pick-up truck to deliver his own diatribe against the war in Vietnam.
"We are here because we above all others have earned the right to criticize the war on Southeast Asia," Kerry shouted into the microphone, as Fonda and the crowd cheered wildly.
"By the time [Kerry] hopped off that pick-up truck to thunderous applause," writes Brinkley, "he was the new leader of the VVAW by popular default."
The Massachusetts Democrat's speech also cemented his alliance with Fonda, and the two traveled to Detroit to organize a January 1971 event they called the "Winter Soldier Investigation."
At a Detroit motel, Kerry and Fonda assembled a myriad of disgruntled witnesses claiming to be Vietnam vets, each with his own story of American atrocities. According to Jug Burkett, whose landmark Vietnam war history "Stolen Valor" chronicles some of Kerry's anti-war misadventures, Fonda played a key role at the Detroit event.
"There's no doubt that Jane Fonda financed the Winter Soldier hearings," Burkett told NewsMax on Monday. He said that several of the witnesses who testified at the protest's "hearings" later turned out to be complete impostors.
The event prompted "Hanoi Jane" to "adopt" Kerry's group "as her leading cause," writes Brinkley.
True Love Blooms:
It was at Kerry's Winter Soldier protest that the anti-American actress met her future husband, Students for a Democratic Society radical Tom Hayden! The next year Fonda was off to Hanoi, where she mounted an anti-aircraft battery and pretended to shoot down American pilots.
Of Kerry, Burkett told NewsMax, "Any Vietnam veteran who knows what Kerry did after he came home from Vietnam is definitely not a fan of John Kerry."
Saturday, Feb. 28, 2004 1:04 PM EST - 'Hanoi Jane' Speaks Out for Kerry – Again
For the second time in a month, "Hanoi Jane" Fonda has stepped forward to defend Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry, saying she had nothing to do with an April 1971 Vietnam war protest he organized in Washington, D.C. that made Kerry a nationally recognized leader of the anti-war movement.
"I think Kerry made a big effort not to have me invited to participate in that," Fonda told the New York Times this week, in quotes the paper published on Saturday. "I think he wanted the organization to distance itself from me, that I was too radical or something," she claimed.
Fonda did not explain why, if Kerry felt compromised by her role in his group, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, he allowed her to bankroll VVAW activities during the period he was organizing the Washington, D.C. protest.
Just four months before that event - which Kerry's group dubbed "Operation Dewey Canyon III" - Fonda had become the group's leading fundraiser.
According to Kerry biographer Douglas Brinkley, she had "adopted" the VVAW as "her leading cause."
Fonda and Kerry did collaborate on two previous events, the "Winter Soldier Investigation," held in Detroit two months before "Dewey Canyon," and "Operation RAW," a Sept. 1970 protest in Valley Forge, Penn., where both the anti-American actress and the Navy veteran were featured speakers.
After NewsMax.com published a photo of Kerry and Fonda sitting near each other at "Operation RAW," the controversial actress said she didn't remember meeting Kerry.
But after the Valley Forge event, the Fonda and Kerry shared leading roles organizing VVAW protests, with Fonda acting as the group's Honorary National Coordinator and Kerry holding the title of National Coordinator.
Biographer Brinkley has also cast doubt on Fonda's denials, telling WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg earlier this month that the two had indeed met at "Winter Soldier."
Kerry's spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter described Fonda and Kerry as “mere acquaintances” at the time, but declined to further detail their relationship.
While Fonda is nowhere to be seen in photos chronicling the April 1971 protest, one snapshot from the event captures Kerry onstage with an equally controversial character, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who would later follow Fonda to North Vietnam in a bid to undermine the U.S. war effort.
The Clark photo appears in Kerry's book, "The New Soldier," which all but disappeared from bookstores after a political opponent used it to defeat him in his first bid for Congress the next year.
Fonda sounded somewhat wounded by Kerry's decision not to include her in the Washington, D.C. protest, complaining to the Times,
"I went to North Vietnam in July of 1972, so it was not even 'Hanoi Jane' yet."
But she admitted that her anti-American image, even before she sided with America's enemy during wartime, could compromise Kerry's clean-cut image.
"I was still considered a lightning rod and radical," she said. "He knew that they had to get the attention of Congress, and he didn't want any unnecessary baggage to come with them."
Fonda blamed conservative Kerry opponents for ginning up new interest in her anti-war activities. (So sorry, Jane…you will have that VC flag tattooed on your forehead until it turns to dust with the rest of your rotting carcass.)
"These are wounds that take a long time to heal, and they're wounds that the right wing, in my opinion, doesn't really want to heal," she told the Times. She said attempts to tarnish Kerry by reporting on their relationship would have little impact.
"I think most of the people who are going to vote for Bush were never going to vote for Kerry anyway," she said. "And the other people aren't going to be affected by this, 'Oh, he was connected to Hanoi Jane.' "
Kerry's presidential campaign has declined to respond to NewsMax's requests for VVAW financial records from the time Fonda was the group's chief financial backer.
During his war protest days in the early 1970s, Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry once denounced the United States of America as "the real criminal" in the Vietnam War.
In comments first reported by the New York Times 33 years ago, Kerry condemned the entire country as "criminal" during a 1971 demonstration on Wall Street, a few weeks after the trial of Lt. William Calley.
"Guilty as Lieutenant Calley may have been of the actual act of murder, the verdict does not single out the real criminal ... the United States of America,"
railed the future Democratic presidential hopeful those many years ago. The damning comment was unearthed by the Baltimore Sun, which reprinted Kerry's outburst in its Saturday edition exactly as quoted above.
The Sun also revisited other anti-war comments by Kerry that have yet to receive significant exposure, including remarks Kerry uttered on NBC's "Meet the Press" a few weeks after the Wall Street protest.
"I committed the same kinds of atrocities as thousands of others," he told the network, "in that I shot in free-fire zones, fired .50-caliber machine bullets, used harass-and-interdiction fire, joined in search-and-destroy missions and burned villages."
(Though NBC has the Kerry interview on tape, it has so far declined to rebroadcast his revealing comments.)
The Sun also obtained reactions from two of Kerry's Swift Boat mates in Vietnam, who told the paper they were deeply disturbed by his anti-war activities. Kerry crewman James Wasser said he was "absolutely upset" over his former commanding officer's claims that the U.S. committed wartime atrocities as a matter of course.
Saying he recalled no such war crimes, Wasser said of Kerry, "I felt betrayed."
Shipmate Bill Zaladonis was also offended by Kerry's claims.
"I didn't like the idea [of Kerry condemning his fellow servicemen]," he told the Sun. "I certainly didn't believe that all Vietnam veterans were baby-killing women rapers. Most people I know agree with me - they didn't see it."
While Wasser and Zaladonis remain troubled by Kerry's anti-war past, they're split over whether they intend to support him for president. "I'm still studying it," Zaldonis told the Sun, while Wasser occasionally campaigns for the Massachusetts Democrat.
When Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry teamed up with 'Hanoi' Jane Fonda and actor Donald Sutherland for a September 1970 anti-Vietnam War protest at Valley Forge, Pa., he was joining the same cast that Fonda had assembled earlier that year for her "F*** the Army" tour – a kind of reverse USO tour designed to undermine the morale of U.S. soldiers fighting in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
Kerry suggested that he had no idea how radical Fonda would eventually become, telling radio host Don Imus that he thought her decision to turn against her country by traveling to Hanoi 18 months after Valley Forge was "terrible."
But by the time Kerry agreed to follow the anti-American actress and Donald Sutherland onto the same stage 34 years ago, Fonda's anti-military road show was already well known to both soldiers stationed in Vietnam and those who had returned home.
In "Winter Soldier: An Oral History of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War," author Richard Stacewicz notes that when Fonda and Kerry addressed the Valley Forge rally – as depicted in the now infamous photo published by NewsMax on Monday – Fonda's military-bashing credentials were already well-established. So, Kerry lied when he said he “…had no idea…” how radical Fonda was.
"Fonda was becoming very well known at that point for her support of the GI movement. She and Donald Sutherland had been going around to GI bases for a while with the FTA show ["F *** the Army," a spoof of USO shows that was performed just outside bases]," writes Stacewicz.
Fonda's role is confirmed in the Vietnam veterans history "Stolen Valor," by B.G. Burkett and Glenna Whitley. "Fonda was involved in an organization called F.T.A., which we all knew stood for 'F--k the Army,'" Burkett, a Vietnam veteran himself, reports.
Though both Fonda and Kerry are now both claiming their contact was minimal at Valley Forge and afterward, in fact, while the Massachusetts Democrat served as the VVAW's leading spokesman under the title "National Coordinator," Fonda was named the group's "Honorary National Coordinator," according to two histories of the VVAW, Andrew Hunt's "The Turning" and Gerald Nicosia's "Home to War."
With her celebrity drawing power, Fonda became Kerry's leading fund-raiser at the VVAW, traveling the country to tout the group's mission to expose so-called U.S. war crimes in Vietnam.
The effort culminated in the next Kerry-Fonda collaboration, the "Winter Soldier Investigation," which Jane Fonda financed and where Kerry and other members of the VVAW tried to elicit the most gruesome testimony possible from combat veterans, many of whom later turned out to be complete impostors (the records of most of the others could not be verified).
Al Hubbard, VVAW's executive secretary, was also one of the principal organizers of the Winter Soldier event. His supposed combat heroism had earned him mythical status within the organization, writes author Hunt. He and Kerry would later go on to appear side-by side on NBC's "Meet the Press" to denounce the war.
But as "Stolen Valor" author Burkett explained to the Wall Street Journal last month, his research showed that Hubbard had grossly inflated his combat credentials. "Hubbard claimed to be an Air Force pilot who was wounded in Vietnam. Truth: Hubbard was never a pilot, never an officer, never wounded and never assigned to Vietnam," said Burkett.
Hubbard is also featured prominently in Kerry's 1971 book about the group's April 1971 Washington, D.C., protest, "The New Soldier," where he and Kerry appear in a photo together on the same stage as Ramsey Clark.

Fonda did not explain why, if Kerry felt compromised by her role in his group, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, he allowed her to bankroll VVAW activities during the period he was organizing the Washington, D.C. protest.
Just four months before that event - which Kerry's group dubbed "Operation Dewey Canyon III" - Fonda had become the group's leading fundraiser.
According to Kerry biographer Douglas Brinkley, she had "adopted" the VVAW as "her leading cause."
Fonda and Kerry did collaborate on two previous events, the "Winter Soldier Investigation," held in Detroit two months before "Dewey Canyon," and "Operation RAW," a Sept. 1970 protest in Valley Forge, Penn., where both the anti-American actress and the Navy veteran were featured speakers.
After NewsMax.com published a photo of Kerry and Fonda sitting near each other at "Operation RAW," the controversial actress said she didn't remember meeting Kerry.
But after the Valley Forge event, the Fonda and Kerry shared leading roles organizing VVAW protests, with Fonda acting as the group's Honorary National Coordinator and Kerry holding the title of National Coordinator.
Biographer Brinkley has also cast doubt on Fonda's denials, telling WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg earlier this month that the two had indeed met at "Winter Soldier."
Kerry's spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter described Fonda and Kerry as “mere acquaintances” at the time, but declined to further detail their relationship.
While Fonda is nowhere to be seen in photos chronicling the April 1971 protest, one snapshot from the event captures Kerry onstage with an equally controversial character, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who would later follow Fonda to North Vietnam in a bid to undermine the U.S. war effort.
The Clark photo appears in Kerry's book, "The New Soldier," which all but disappeared from bookstores after a political opponent used it to defeat him in his first bid for Congress the next year.
Fonda sounded somewhat wounded by Kerry's decision not to include her in the Washington, D.C. protest, complaining to the Times,
"I went to North Vietnam in July of 1972, so it was not even 'Hanoi Jane' yet."
But she admitted that her anti-American image, even before she sided with America's enemy during wartime, could compromise Kerry's clean-cut image.
"I was still considered a lightning rod and radical," she said. "He knew that they had to get the attention of Congress, and he didn't want any unnecessary baggage to come with them."
Fonda blamed conservative Kerry opponents for ginning up new interest in her anti-war activities. (So sorry, Jane…you will have that VC flag tattooed on your forehead until it turns to dust with the rest of your rotting carcass.)
"These are wounds that take a long time to heal, and they're wounds that the right wing, in my opinion, doesn't really want to heal," she told the Times. She said attempts to tarnish Kerry by reporting on their relationship would have little impact.
"I think most of the people who are going to vote for Bush were never going to vote for Kerry anyway," she said. "And the other people aren't going to be affected by this, 'Oh, he was connected to Hanoi Jane.' "
Kerry's presidential campaign has declined to respond to NewsMax's requests for VVAW financial records from the time Fonda was the group's chief financial backer.
During his war protest days in the early 1970s, Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry once denounced the United States of America as "the real criminal" in the Vietnam War.
In comments first reported by the New York Times 33 years ago, Kerry condemned the entire country as "criminal" during a 1971 demonstration on Wall Street, a few weeks after the trial of Lt. William Calley.
"Guilty as Lieutenant Calley may have been of the actual act of murder, the verdict does not single out the real criminal ... the United States of America,"
railed the future Democratic presidential hopeful those many years ago. The damning comment was unearthed by the Baltimore Sun, which reprinted Kerry's outburst in its Saturday edition exactly as quoted above.
The Sun also revisited other anti-war comments by Kerry that have yet to receive significant exposure, including remarks Kerry uttered on NBC's "Meet the Press" a few weeks after the Wall Street protest.
"I committed the same kinds of atrocities as thousands of others," he told the network, "in that I shot in free-fire zones, fired .50-caliber machine bullets, used harass-and-interdiction fire, joined in search-and-destroy missions and burned villages."
(Though NBC has the Kerry interview on tape, it has so far declined to rebroadcast his revealing comments.)
The Sun also obtained reactions from two of Kerry's Swift Boat mates in Vietnam, who told the paper they were deeply disturbed by his anti-war activities. Kerry crewman James Wasser said he was "absolutely upset" over his former commanding officer's claims that the U.S. committed wartime atrocities as a matter of course.
Saying he recalled no such war crimes, Wasser said of Kerry, "I felt betrayed."
Shipmate Bill Zaladonis was also offended by Kerry's claims.
"I didn't like the idea [of Kerry condemning his fellow servicemen]," he told the Sun. "I certainly didn't believe that all Vietnam veterans were baby-killing women rapers. Most people I know agree with me - they didn't see it."
While Wasser and Zaladonis remain troubled by Kerry's anti-war past, they're split over whether they intend to support him for president. "I'm still studying it," Zaldonis told the Sun, while Wasser occasionally campaigns for the Massachusetts Democrat.
When Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry teamed up with 'Hanoi' Jane Fonda and actor Donald Sutherland for a September 1970 anti-Vietnam War protest at Valley Forge, Pa., he was joining the same cast that Fonda had assembled earlier that year for her "F*** the Army" tour – a kind of reverse USO tour designed to undermine the morale of U.S. soldiers fighting in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
Kerry suggested that he had no idea how radical Fonda would eventually become, telling radio host Don Imus that he thought her decision to turn against her country by traveling to Hanoi 18 months after Valley Forge was "terrible."
But by the time Kerry agreed to follow the anti-American actress and Donald Sutherland onto the same stage 34 years ago, Fonda's anti-military road show was already well known to both soldiers stationed in Vietnam and those who had returned home.
In "Winter Soldier: An Oral History of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War," author Richard Stacewicz notes that when Fonda and Kerry addressed the Valley Forge rally – as depicted in the now infamous photo published by NewsMax on Monday – Fonda's military-bashing credentials were already well-established. So, Kerry lied when he said he “…had no idea…” how radical Fonda was.
"Fonda was becoming very well known at that point for her support of the GI movement. She and Donald Sutherland had been going around to GI bases for a while with the FTA show ["F *** the Army," a spoof of USO shows that was performed just outside bases]," writes Stacewicz.
Fonda's role is confirmed in the Vietnam veterans history "Stolen Valor," by B.G. Burkett and Glenna Whitley. "Fonda was involved in an organization called F.T.A., which we all knew stood for 'F--k the Army,'" Burkett, a Vietnam veteran himself, reports.
Though both Fonda and Kerry are now both claiming their contact was minimal at Valley Forge and afterward, in fact, while the Massachusetts Democrat served as the VVAW's leading spokesman under the title "National Coordinator," Fonda was named the group's "Honorary National Coordinator," according to two histories of the VVAW, Andrew Hunt's "The Turning" and Gerald Nicosia's "Home to War."
With her celebrity drawing power, Fonda became Kerry's leading fund-raiser at the VVAW, traveling the country to tout the group's mission to expose so-called U.S. war crimes in Vietnam.
The effort culminated in the next Kerry-Fonda collaboration, the "Winter Soldier Investigation," which Jane Fonda financed and where Kerry and other members of the VVAW tried to elicit the most gruesome testimony possible from combat veterans, many of whom later turned out to be complete impostors (the records of most of the others could not be verified).
Al Hubbard, VVAW's executive secretary, was also one of the principal organizers of the Winter Soldier event. His supposed combat heroism had earned him mythical status within the organization, writes author Hunt. He and Kerry would later go on to appear side-by side on NBC's "Meet the Press" to denounce the war.
But as "Stolen Valor" author Burkett explained to the Wall Street Journal last month, his research showed that Hubbard had grossly inflated his combat credentials. "Hubbard claimed to be an Air Force pilot who was wounded in Vietnam. Truth: Hubbard was never a pilot, never an officer, never wounded and never assigned to Vietnam," said Burkett.
Hubbard is also featured prominently in Kerry's 1971 book about the group's April 1971 Washington, D.C., protest, "The New Soldier," where he and Kerry appear in a photo together on the same stage as Ramsey Clark.

Gay Agenda
THE TRUE AGENDA OF THE ‘GAY’ MOVEMENT: A Discussion...
Biblical Exposition Against Homosexuality
· Adhere to the teachings of the Bible.
· Preach against all form of sin (e.g., fornication, adultery, sodomy).
· Insist that the doctrines of grace be taught.
These doctrines of grace were well summed up by John Calvin in his 5 points of Calvinism:
1. Total Depravity of Man WIthout Grace
2. Unconditional Election by God With Grace
3. Limited Atonement of Sins - Jesus Saving Grace Paid The Price
4. Irresistible Grace That is God Given
5. Perseverance of the Saints Through Grace
Although these doctrines are almost universally hated today, they were once loved and believed.
For example, these are just a few examples of people who have advanced these ideas: Augustine (one of the early Church fathers), Martin Luther (the founder of the Lutheran Church), John Knox (the founder of the Presbyterian Church), Augustus Toplady (hymnist and leader in the Episcopal Church), Charles Spurgeon (a well-known preacher), John Leland (who was partially responsible for our First Amendment in the United States), and Abraham Lincoln (raised in a tiny Old School Baptist church).
(Please see The Doctrine of Absolute Predestination by Jerom Zanchius and MEMO ON THE CHURCH.)
Most of the major Confessions of Faith throughout the history of the New Testament Church have also advanced these ideas.
So, even though the Arminian lies (see: Arminianism) that "God loves everyone" and "Jesus died for everyone" are being taught from nearly every pulpit in this generation, teaching this hasn't always been the case.
If your Church claims to believe the Bible and you are hearing these lies from the pulpit of your chirch then your church has apostatized.
Independent research on the history of the Church from Adam to now will benefit anyone interested in salvation.
Read the Bible.
SODOMY IS AN ABOMINABLE SIN, WORTHY OF DEATH.
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." Leviticus 18:22.
See also Leviticus 20:13, Genesis 19, Romans 1:18-32, I Corinthians 6:9-11, I Timothy 1:10, and Jude 7.
GOD HATES ALL WORKERS OF INIQUITY.
"The foolish shall not stand in thy sight, thou hatest all workers of iniquity." Psalm 5:5.
See also Leviticus 20:23, Leviticus 26:30, Deuteronomy 32:19, Psalm 5:6, Psalm 11:5, Malachi 1:3, Matthew 7:23, and Romans 9:13.
JESUS CHRIST DIED ONLY FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16.
See also John 13:1, John 17:9, Ephesians 5:25, etc.
“If you love me you will keep my commandments,” says Jesus to us today (John 14:15).
ONLY GOD'S ELECT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO BELIEVE.
"Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." John 12:39,40.
See also John 10:11,26, Matthew 11:25,26, Acts 13:48, Romans 9:19-24, etc.
SODOMITES ARE PROUD OF THEIR SIN ("GAY PRIDE"), AND IN THAT PRIDEFUL STATE THEY CANNOT REPENT - YOU CANNOT REPENT OF SOMETHING YOU'RE PROUD OF.
"Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD." Jeremiah 6:15.
See also Jeremiah 13:23, Romans 1:24-32, Ezekiel 16:49-50, etc.
THE SODOMITES' ONLY HOPE IS TO HAVE THE UNAMBIGUOUS TRUTH PREACHED TO THEM, AND PERHAPS GOD WILL SOFTEN THEIR HEARTS AND GRANT THEM REPENTANCE TO DEPART FROM THEIR SIN AND NAME THE NAME OF CHRIST. NOT VERY LIKELY, THOUGH, SINCE GOD HAS GIVEN THEM UP.
"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal: The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." II Timothy 2:19. "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness...unto vile affections...to a reprobate mind." Romans 1:24-28.
See also II Timothy 2:24-26, Psalm 5:5, I Corinthians 6:9-11, Acts 17:30, Jude 22,23, etc.
THERE IS A HELL WHERE ALL IMPENITENT SINNERS WILL RESIDE FOR ALL ETERNITY. THAT INCLUDES SODOMITES (CALLED "DOGS").
"And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh." Isaiah 66:24. "For without are dogs..." Revelation 22:15.
See also Mark 9:44, Luke 16:23, Revelation 20:15.
In summary, sodomites are wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly (Gen. 13:13),
are violent and doom nations (Gen. 19:1-25; Judges 19), are abominable to God (Lev. 18:22),
are worthy of death for their vile, depraved, unnatural sex practices (Lev. 20:13; Rom. 1:32),
are called dogs because they are filthy, impudent and libidinous (Deut. 23:17,18; Mat. 7:6; Phil. 3:2), produce by their very presence in society a kind of mass intoxication from their wine of gall which is produced from the vines of Sodom and the fields of Gomorrah which poisons society's mores with the poison of dragons and the cruel venom of asps (Deut. 32:32,33),
declare their sin and shame on their countenance (Isa. 3:9),
are shameless and unable to blush (Jer. 6:15),
are workers of iniquity and hated by God (Psa. 5:5),
are liars and murderers (Jn. 8:44),
are filthy and lawless (2 Pet. 2:7,8),
are natural brute beasts (2 Pet. 2:12),
are dogs eating their own vomit and sows wallowing in their own feces (2 Pet. 2:22),
will proliferate at the end of the world bringing final judgment on mankind (Lk. 17:28-30),
have been finally given up by God to uncleanness dishonoring their own bodies among themselves, to vile affections, and to a reprobate mind such that they cannot think straight about anything (Rom. 1:23-28),
have wholly given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh (Jude 7), to be saved must be pulled as faggots from the fire (Jude 23),
and have no hope of Heaven unless they repent (Rev. 22:15),
which they can't do in their prideful state (Jer. 6:15).
They need to hear this truth if they are to have any hope of penitence, faith in Jesus Christ and salvation (I Timothy 4:2-4).
MANIFESTO OF THE ‘GAY’ MOVEMENT
The following was written by Michael Swift, a self-confessed "Gay Revolutionary," and appeared in the Gay Community News, Feb. 15-21, 1987.
REVOLUTION
"We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.
Women, you cry for freedom. You say you are no longer satisfied with men; they make you unhappy.
We, connoisseurs of the masculine face, the masculine physique, shall take your men from you then. We will amuse them; we will instruct them; we will embrace them when they weep. Women, you say you wish to live with each other instead of with men.
Then go and be with each other. We shall give your men pleasures they have never known because we are foremost men too, and only one man knows how to truly please another man; only one man can understand the depth and feeling, the mind and body of another man.
All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men.
All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically and financially. We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy.
If you dare to cry faggot, fairy, queer, at us, we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead, puny bodies.
We shall write poems of the love between men; we shall stage plays in which man openly caresses man; we shall make films about the love between heroic men which will replace the cheap, superficial, sentimental, insipid, juvenile, heterosexual infatuations presently dominating your cinema screens.
We shall sculpt statues of beautiful young men, of bold athletes which will be placed in your parks, your squares, your plazas. The museums of the world will be filled only with paintings of graceful, naked lads.
Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable and de rigueur, and we will succeed because we are adept at setting styles.
We will eliminate heterosexual liaisons through usage of the devices of wit and ridicule, devices which we are skilled in employing.
We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals.
You will be shocked and frightened when you find that your presidents and their sons, your industrialists, your senators, your mayors, your generals, your athletes, your film stars, your television personalities, your civic leaders, your priests are not the safe, familiar, bourgeois, heterosexual figures you assumed them to be.
We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks. Be careful when you speak of homosexuals because we are always among you; we may be sitting across the desk from you; we may be sleeping in the same bed with you.
There will be no compromises. We are not middle-class weaklings. Highly intelligent, we are the natural aristocrats of the human race, and steely-minded aristocrats never settle for less. Those who oppose us will be exiled.
We shall raise vast private armies, as Mishima did, to defeat you. We shall conquer the world because warriors inspired by and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible as were the ancient Greek soldiers.
The family unit-spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence--will be abolished.
The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated.
Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory.
They will be bonded together in communal setting, under the control and instruction of homosexual savants.
All churches who condemn us will be closed.
Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere to a cult of beauty, moral and esthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are free to live our lives according to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough.
The exquisite society to emerge will be governed by an elite comprised of gay poets.
One of the major requirements for a position of power in the new society of homoeroticism will be indulgence in the Greek passion.
Any man contaminated with heterosexual lust will be automatically barred from a position of influence.
All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men.
We shall rewrite history, history filled and debased with your heterosexual lies and distortions.
We shall portray the homosexuality of the great leaders and thinkers who have shaped the world.
We will demonstrate that homosexuality and intelligence and imagination are inextricably linked, and that homosexuality is a requirement for true nobility, true beauty in a man.
We shall be victorious because we are fueled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed who have been forced to play seemingly bit parts in your dumb, heterosexual shows throughout the ages.
We too are capable of firing guns and manning the barricades of the ultimate revolution.
Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks."
The only true Nazis in this world are fags. They want to force you by law to support their filth, and they want to shut you up by law when they hate what you say. They would be perfectly happy to make it a crime to preach that "God hates fags" under the guise of "hate speech legislation."
Likewise, baby-killers support the genocide of millions of innocent babies, and then act indignant that Hitler killed a few million innocent Jews. See The Pink Swastika by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams.
Jesus died only for His sheep (John 10), His Church (Ephesians 5:25), and His elect (I Peter 1:2). If He died for everyone, everyone would go to heaven. All sins of all people would be forgiven. But obviously, all sins aren't forgiven, because people are burning in hell.
'Pink Swastika,'
Preface to the Fourth Edition:
"When Kevin Abrams and Scott Lively published the first edition of “Pink Swastika” in 1995, they knew that it would cause controversy, contradicting as it does the common portrayal of homosexuals as exclusively victims of the Nazi regime.
"For this reason they were scrupulous in our documentation of homosexuals as the true inventors of Nazism and the guiding force behind many Nazi atrocities.
They purposefully drew heavily upon homosexual writers and historians for their source material and used direct quotations from their own writings whenever possible. The remainder of their sources are primarily mainstream historians of the Nazi era. They chose to place their citations in the text rather than in endnotes to emphasize the reliability of our sources.
Few contemporary historians, however, have weighed in, either pro or con, on the claims of this book. With some notable exceptions, the voices have instead come from ideologues on either side of the “gay rights” issue.
Homosexuals and their allies (including some academics) denounce 'The Pink Swastika' as baseless and hateful.
Pro-family advocates praise it as authoritative and enlightened.
The issues raised in the book deserve broader public scrutiny and debate, especially in academia, and not silence.
This fourth edition represents a renewed effort to put these issues up for debate before the American public.
This edition is a dramatically expanded and strengthened volume with hundreds of additional hours invested in research and writing that is reflected in two new chapters and hundreds of additional citations that have been woven throughout the existing text.
Many helpful photographs and graphics have been added.
What remains is the struggle to persuade academics, church leaders, and cultural leaders to address this subject, which begs the question of why have they not yet done so.
One reason, perhaps, is that The Pink Swastika addresses an aspect of Nazi history unfamiliar to most people, historians included. Indeed, no one could have written The Pink Swastika who was not a student of both history and of the so-called “gay” movement.
The compilation of references to homosexuality from mainstream sources, while extensive, does not in and of itself provide a complete picture of the homosexuals’ role in the rise and rule of Nazism.
Only when that picture is overlaid with the work of “gay” scholars does the essential relationship between Nazism and the German “gay” movement become clear.
Ironically, a better explanation for why The Pink Swastika has been neglected is the dominance of “political correctness” in the academic realm, which is ironic because today’s “PC” code suppresses intellectual dissent to a degree not seen since the Third Reich or in the stiltifying dread of the Soviet.
Only today, the 'verboten' subject-matter is anything that reflects negatively on the “gay” movement.
This trend is not new.
In fact, one of the most remarkable facts uncovered in research for 'The Pink Swastika' is the near complete dearth of references to homosexuality in the Nazi Party in books published in the United States since the end of the 1960s.
Nearly all of mainstream U.S. sources (by American writers) pre-date the 1970s, when the “gay” movement became a political force in this country.
However, other resources, mostly German works translated into English, have continued to enlarge our knowledge of the homosexual/Nazi connection.
One important contributor is, of course, German academic Lothar Machtan, whose, 'Hidden Hitler (2001),' argues persuasively that Hitler’s secret “gay” life defined his career.
In the 1960s, Nazi homosexuality was so widely acknowledged in America (at least among the “social elites”) that the portrayal of Nazi thugs as homosexual was a frequent occurrence in Hollywood movies.
One of the best examples is in Exodus (United Artists, 1960), the film adaptation of the Leon Uris novel about the creation of the State of Israel after World War II.
In the film, actor Sal Mineo, playing a young man attempting to join the Irgun (the Jewish underground movement), fails to convince Irgun leaders that he is a genuine Nazi concentration camp survivor.
Finally they are convinced — only when he breaks down and confesses that the Nazi guards “used me as a woman.”
To the Irgun, this was definitive proof that he had been a Nazi prisoner.
Allen Ginsberg, the homosexual “beat” poet was asked by a Justice of the Supreme Court in 1966 (during an obscenity trial related to the book Naked Lunch, by William Borroughs) whether at “some time in the future there will be a political party, for instance, made up of homosexuals.”
Ginsberg replied, saying “this has already happened in a sense -- or of sex perverts -- and we can point to Hitler, Germany under Hitler” (The New York Times, August 10, 1997)."
These are but two examples which reveal the extent to which homosexuality was openly associated with Nazism in the past. There are many other examples in this book.
Yet today, the record has been almost entirely purged regarding the homosexual/Nazi connection.
This would be alarming enough if it were simply a trend in the popular culture and academia, but a similar whitewashing is also taking place in institutions responsible for keeping the record of the Holocaust.
Dr. Nathaniel Lehrman is a retired psychiatrist who read The Pink Swastika and was inspired to recommend it as a resource to the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.. No political conservative, Dr. Lehrman has for many years contributed articles and editorials to liberal and humanist publications.
After a great deal of effort, including an exchange of correspondence in which he challenged the museum to at least research the claims of this book, he was rebuffed.
In a May 5th, 2000 editorial in the Intermountain Jewish News, Dr. Lehrman took issue with one of the frequent pro-homosexual events at the museum: “[F]or the conference to present a complete picture of gays in the Holocaust, it should also have included the key roles of Nazi homosexuals among its perpetrators. By failing to do so, the Museum fostered the myth of a “Gay Holocaust”....Why is the Holocaust Memorial Museum distorting the history of the Holocaust?”
Another individual, Mr. Zan Overall, donated two copies of The Pink Swastika to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, the leading Holocaust museum on the West Coast.
He was later told by a staff member that the books had not been placed in the regular collection but in a “special collection” available only upon request by a patron.
Overall writes:
“Wondering how a library patron might become aware of the existence of The Pink Swastika, ensconced in “the special collection,” I asked if it were listed in the computer along with other books on the same general subject....She read off quite a number of titles listed there...and reported The Pink Swastika is not listed there (Overall: private letter).”
Knowing how thoroughly these institutions have been infiltrated by “gay” political activists, the authors of 'The Pink Swastika' were not surprised to learn that they had suppressed the evidence linking Nazism to homosexuality (see: “How American ‘Gays’ are Stealing the Holocaust,” in The Poisoned Stream, Founders Publishing Corporation, 1997).
The same whitewash may be taking place at the Shoah Foundation as it collects the video histories of the last remaining Holocaust survivors. Its founder Steven Spielberg is the business partner of billionaire homosexual activist David Geffin...
Unfortunately, the public perceives these institutions as the final authority on anything having to do with the Nazi era.
As this fourth edition of 'The Pink Swastika,' therefore, the authors are especially mindful that their important work represents perhaps the only significant attempt to counter a highly successful “gay”-sponsored revisionist campaign and endeavored to produce the most thorough and accurate document possible.
This document is by no means the first, but is by far the most complete, resource ever prepared on the thesis that homosexuals invented and ran the Nazi Party, a thesis that has been frequently restated since the 1930s with profound implications for our society, given the growing power of the “gay” movement.
Its significance is all the greater since most people in this country have probably never even heard it mentioned. Let the evidence speak for itself.
Biblical Exposition Against Homosexuality
· Adhere to the teachings of the Bible.
· Preach against all form of sin (e.g., fornication, adultery, sodomy).
· Insist that the doctrines of grace be taught.
These doctrines of grace were well summed up by John Calvin in his 5 points of Calvinism:
1. Total Depravity of Man WIthout Grace
2. Unconditional Election by God With Grace
3. Limited Atonement of Sins - Jesus Saving Grace Paid The Price
4. Irresistible Grace That is God Given
5. Perseverance of the Saints Through Grace
Although these doctrines are almost universally hated today, they were once loved and believed.
For example, these are just a few examples of people who have advanced these ideas: Augustine (one of the early Church fathers), Martin Luther (the founder of the Lutheran Church), John Knox (the founder of the Presbyterian Church), Augustus Toplady (hymnist and leader in the Episcopal Church), Charles Spurgeon (a well-known preacher), John Leland (who was partially responsible for our First Amendment in the United States), and Abraham Lincoln (raised in a tiny Old School Baptist church).
(Please see The Doctrine of Absolute Predestination by Jerom Zanchius and MEMO ON THE CHURCH.)

SODOMITES ARE PROUD OF THEIR SIN ("GAY PRIDE"), AND IN THAT PRIDEFUL STATE THEY CANNOT REPENT - YOU CANNOT REPENT OF SOMETHING YOU'RE PROUD OF.
"Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD." Jeremiah 6:15.
See also Jeremiah 13:23, Romans 1:24-32, Ezekiel 16:49-50, etc.
THE SODOMITES' ONLY HOPE IS TO HAVE THE UNAMBIGUOUS TRUTH PREACHED TO THEM, AND PERHAPS GOD WILL SOFTEN THEIR HEARTS AND GRANT THEM REPENTANCE TO DEPART FROM THEIR SIN AND NAME THE NAME OF CHRIST. NOT VERY LIKELY, THOUGH, SINCE GOD HAS GIVEN THEM UP.
"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal: The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." II Timothy 2:19. "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness...unto vile affections...to a reprobate mind." Romans 1:24-28.
See also II Timothy 2:24-26, Psalm 5:5, I Corinthians 6:9-11, Acts 17:30, Jude 22,23, etc.
THERE IS A HELL WHERE ALL IMPENITENT SINNERS WILL RESIDE FOR ALL ETERNITY. THAT INCLUDES SODOMITES (CALLED "DOGS").
"And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh." Isaiah 66:24. "For without are dogs..." Revelation 22:15.
See also Mark 9:44, Luke 16:23, Revelation 20:15.
In summary, sodomites are wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly (Gen. 13:13),
are violent and doom nations (Gen. 19:1-25; Judges 19), are abominable to God (Lev. 18:22),
are worthy of death for their vile, depraved, unnatural sex practices (Lev. 20:13; Rom. 1:32),
are called dogs because they are filthy, impudent and libidinous (Deut. 23:17,18; Mat. 7:6; Phil. 3:2), produce by their very presence in society a kind of mass intoxication from their wine of gall which is produced from the vines of Sodom and the fields of Gomorrah which poisons society's mores with the poison of dragons and the cruel venom of asps (Deut. 32:32,33),
declare their sin and shame on their countenance (Isa. 3:9),
are shameless and unable to blush (Jer. 6:15),
are workers of iniquity and hated by God (Psa. 5:5),
are liars and murderers (Jn. 8:44),
are filthy and lawless (2 Pet. 2:7,8),
are natural brute beasts (2 Pet. 2:12),
are dogs eating their own vomit and sows wallowing in their own feces (2 Pet. 2:22),
will proliferate at the end of the world bringing final judgment on mankind (Lk. 17:28-30),
have been finally given up by God to uncleanness dishonoring their own bodies among themselves, to vile affections, and to a reprobate mind such that they cannot think straight about anything (Rom. 1:23-28),
have wholly given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh (Jude 7), to be saved must be pulled as faggots from the fire (Jude 23),
and have no hope of Heaven unless they repent (Rev. 22:15),
which they can't do in their prideful state (Jer. 6:15).
They need to hear this truth if they are to have any hope of penitence, faith in Jesus Christ and salvation (I Timothy 4:2-4).
MANIFESTO OF THE ‘GAY’ MOVEMENT
The following was written by Michael Swift, a self-confessed "Gay Revolutionary," and appeared in the Gay Community News, Feb. 15-21, 1987.
REVOLUTION
"We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.
Women, you cry for freedom. You say you are no longer satisfied with men; they make you unhappy.
We, connoisseurs of the masculine face, the masculine physique, shall take your men from you then. We will amuse them; we will instruct them; we will embrace them when they weep. Women, you say you wish to live with each other instead of with men.
Then go and be with each other. We shall give your men pleasures they have never known because we are foremost men too, and only one man knows how to truly please another man; only one man can understand the depth and feeling, the mind and body of another man.
All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men.
All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically and financially. We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy.
If you dare to cry faggot, fairy, queer, at us, we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead, puny bodies.
We shall write poems of the love between men; we shall stage plays in which man openly caresses man; we shall make films about the love between heroic men which will replace the cheap, superficial, sentimental, insipid, juvenile, heterosexual infatuations presently dominating your cinema screens.
We shall sculpt statues of beautiful young men, of bold athletes which will be placed in your parks, your squares, your plazas. The museums of the world will be filled only with paintings of graceful, naked lads.
Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable and de rigueur, and we will succeed because we are adept at setting styles.
We will eliminate heterosexual liaisons through usage of the devices of wit and ridicule, devices which we are skilled in employing.
We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals.
You will be shocked and frightened when you find that your presidents and their sons, your industrialists, your senators, your mayors, your generals, your athletes, your film stars, your television personalities, your civic leaders, your priests are not the safe, familiar, bourgeois, heterosexual figures you assumed them to be.
We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks. Be careful when you speak of homosexuals because we are always among you; we may be sitting across the desk from you; we may be sleeping in the same bed with you.
There will be no compromises. We are not middle-class weaklings. Highly intelligent, we are the natural aristocrats of the human race, and steely-minded aristocrats never settle for less. Those who oppose us will be exiled.
We shall raise vast private armies, as Mishima did, to defeat you. We shall conquer the world because warriors inspired by and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible as were the ancient Greek soldiers.
The family unit-spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence--will be abolished.
The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated.
Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory.
They will be bonded together in communal setting, under the control and instruction of homosexual savants.
All churches who condemn us will be closed.
Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere to a cult of beauty, moral and esthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are free to live our lives according to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough.
The exquisite society to emerge will be governed by an elite comprised of gay poets.
One of the major requirements for a position of power in the new society of homoeroticism will be indulgence in the Greek passion.
Any man contaminated with heterosexual lust will be automatically barred from a position of influence.
All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men.
We shall rewrite history, history filled and debased with your heterosexual lies and distortions.
We shall portray the homosexuality of the great leaders and thinkers who have shaped the world.
We will demonstrate that homosexuality and intelligence and imagination are inextricably linked, and that homosexuality is a requirement for true nobility, true beauty in a man.
We shall be victorious because we are fueled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed who have been forced to play seemingly bit parts in your dumb, heterosexual shows throughout the ages.
We too are capable of firing guns and manning the barricades of the ultimate revolution.
Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks."
The only true Nazis in this world are fags. They want to force you by law to support their filth, and they want to shut you up by law when they hate what you say. They would be perfectly happy to make it a crime to preach that "God hates fags" under the guise of "hate speech legislation."
Likewise, baby-killers support the genocide of millions of innocent babies, and then act indignant that Hitler killed a few million innocent Jews. See The Pink Swastika by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams.
Jesus died only for His sheep (John 10), His Church (Ephesians 5:25), and His elect (I Peter 1:2). If He died for everyone, everyone would go to heaven. All sins of all people would be forgiven. But obviously, all sins aren't forgiven, because people are burning in hell.
'Pink Swastika,'
Preface to the Fourth Edition:
"When Kevin Abrams and Scott Lively published the first edition of “Pink Swastika” in 1995, they knew that it would cause controversy, contradicting as it does the common portrayal of homosexuals as exclusively victims of the Nazi regime.
"For this reason they were scrupulous in our documentation of homosexuals as the true inventors of Nazism and the guiding force behind many Nazi atrocities.
They purposefully drew heavily upon homosexual writers and historians for their source material and used direct quotations from their own writings whenever possible. The remainder of their sources are primarily mainstream historians of the Nazi era. They chose to place their citations in the text rather than in endnotes to emphasize the reliability of our sources.
Few contemporary historians, however, have weighed in, either pro or con, on the claims of this book. With some notable exceptions, the voices have instead come from ideologues on either side of the “gay rights” issue.
Homosexuals and their allies (including some academics) denounce 'The Pink Swastika' as baseless and hateful.
Pro-family advocates praise it as authoritative and enlightened.
The issues raised in the book deserve broader public scrutiny and debate, especially in academia, and not silence.
This fourth edition represents a renewed effort to put these issues up for debate before the American public.
This edition is a dramatically expanded and strengthened volume with hundreds of additional hours invested in research and writing that is reflected in two new chapters and hundreds of additional citations that have been woven throughout the existing text.
Many helpful photographs and graphics have been added.
What remains is the struggle to persuade academics, church leaders, and cultural leaders to address this subject, which begs the question of why have they not yet done so.
One reason, perhaps, is that The Pink Swastika addresses an aspect of Nazi history unfamiliar to most people, historians included. Indeed, no one could have written The Pink Swastika who was not a student of both history and of the so-called “gay” movement.
The compilation of references to homosexuality from mainstream sources, while extensive, does not in and of itself provide a complete picture of the homosexuals’ role in the rise and rule of Nazism.
Only when that picture is overlaid with the work of “gay” scholars does the essential relationship between Nazism and the German “gay” movement become clear.
Ironically, a better explanation for why The Pink Swastika has been neglected is the dominance of “political correctness” in the academic realm, which is ironic because today’s “PC” code suppresses intellectual dissent to a degree not seen since the Third Reich or in the stiltifying dread of the Soviet.
Only today, the 'verboten' subject-matter is anything that reflects negatively on the “gay” movement.
This trend is not new.
In fact, one of the most remarkable facts uncovered in research for 'The Pink Swastika' is the near complete dearth of references to homosexuality in the Nazi Party in books published in the United States since the end of the 1960s.
Nearly all of mainstream U.S. sources (by American writers) pre-date the 1970s, when the “gay” movement became a political force in this country.
However, other resources, mostly German works translated into English, have continued to enlarge our knowledge of the homosexual/Nazi connection.
One important contributor is, of course, German academic Lothar Machtan, whose, 'Hidden Hitler (2001),' argues persuasively that Hitler’s secret “gay” life defined his career.
In the 1960s, Nazi homosexuality was so widely acknowledged in America (at least among the “social elites”) that the portrayal of Nazi thugs as homosexual was a frequent occurrence in Hollywood movies.
One of the best examples is in Exodus (United Artists, 1960), the film adaptation of the Leon Uris novel about the creation of the State of Israel after World War II.
In the film, actor Sal Mineo, playing a young man attempting to join the Irgun (the Jewish underground movement), fails to convince Irgun leaders that he is a genuine Nazi concentration camp survivor.
Finally they are convinced — only when he breaks down and confesses that the Nazi guards “used me as a woman.”
To the Irgun, this was definitive proof that he had been a Nazi prisoner.
Allen Ginsberg, the homosexual “beat” poet was asked by a Justice of the Supreme Court in 1966 (during an obscenity trial related to the book Naked Lunch, by William Borroughs) whether at “some time in the future there will be a political party, for instance, made up of homosexuals.”
Ginsberg replied, saying “this has already happened in a sense -- or of sex perverts -- and we can point to Hitler, Germany under Hitler” (The New York Times, August 10, 1997)."
These are but two examples which reveal the extent to which homosexuality was openly associated with Nazism in the past. There are many other examples in this book.
Yet today, the record has been almost entirely purged regarding the homosexual/Nazi connection.
This would be alarming enough if it were simply a trend in the popular culture and academia, but a similar whitewashing is also taking place in institutions responsible for keeping the record of the Holocaust.
Dr. Nathaniel Lehrman is a retired psychiatrist who read The Pink Swastika and was inspired to recommend it as a resource to the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.. No political conservative, Dr. Lehrman has for many years contributed articles and editorials to liberal and humanist publications.
After a great deal of effort, including an exchange of correspondence in which he challenged the museum to at least research the claims of this book, he was rebuffed.
In a May 5th, 2000 editorial in the Intermountain Jewish News, Dr. Lehrman took issue with one of the frequent pro-homosexual events at the museum: “[F]or the conference to present a complete picture of gays in the Holocaust, it should also have included the key roles of Nazi homosexuals among its perpetrators. By failing to do so, the Museum fostered the myth of a “Gay Holocaust”....Why is the Holocaust Memorial Museum distorting the history of the Holocaust?”
Another individual, Mr. Zan Overall, donated two copies of The Pink Swastika to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, the leading Holocaust museum on the West Coast.
He was later told by a staff member that the books had not been placed in the regular collection but in a “special collection” available only upon request by a patron.
Overall writes:
“Wondering how a library patron might become aware of the existence of The Pink Swastika, ensconced in “the special collection,” I asked if it were listed in the computer along with other books on the same general subject....She read off quite a number of titles listed there...and reported The Pink Swastika is not listed there (Overall: private letter).”
Knowing how thoroughly these institutions have been infiltrated by “gay” political activists, the authors of 'The Pink Swastika' were not surprised to learn that they had suppressed the evidence linking Nazism to homosexuality (see: “How American ‘Gays’ are Stealing the Holocaust,” in The Poisoned Stream, Founders Publishing Corporation, 1997).
The same whitewash may be taking place at the Shoah Foundation as it collects the video histories of the last remaining Holocaust survivors. Its founder Steven Spielberg is the business partner of billionaire homosexual activist David Geffin...
Unfortunately, the public perceives these institutions as the final authority on anything having to do with the Nazi era.
As this fourth edition of 'The Pink Swastika,' therefore, the authors are especially mindful that their important work represents perhaps the only significant attempt to counter a highly successful “gay”-sponsored revisionist campaign and endeavored to produce the most thorough and accurate document possible.
This document is by no means the first, but is by far the most complete, resource ever prepared on the thesis that homosexuals invented and ran the Nazi Party, a thesis that has been frequently restated since the 1930s with profound implications for our society, given the growing power of the “gay” movement.
Its significance is all the greater since most people in this country have probably never even heard it mentioned. Let the evidence speak for itself.

Socialism: Why We Must Fight
Why we MUST Fight:
"Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not."
Thomas Jefferson
"What is the individual man, with all the good or evil that may betide him, in comparison with the good or evil which may befall a great country, and in the midst of great transactions which concern that country's fate? Let the consequences be what they will ... No man can suffer too much ... in the defense of the liberties and constitution of his country."
(Daniel Webster)
"Governor, if I had foreseen the use these people desired to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox, no, sir, not by me. Had I seen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand."
General Robert E. Lee, CSA - as told to Texas ex-governor F. W. Stockdale.
"I've got no respect for any young man who won't join the colors."
General Nathan Bedford Forrest, CSA
"My shoes are gone; my clothes are almost gone. I'm weary, I'm sick, I'm hungry. My family have been killed or scattered. And I have suffered all this for my country. I love my country. But if this war is ever over, I'll be damned if I ever love another country."
Confederate Soldier During Retreat To Appomattox, 1865
"A government resting on the minority is an aristocracy, not a Republic, and could not be safe with a numerical and physical force against it, without a standing army, an enslaved press and a disarmed populace."
James Madison, Federalist Papers # 46
"Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage"
Micah 2:2
"Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy forefathers have set.
"Proverbs 22:28
“The Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917 ushered in the beginning of absolute totalitarianism and mass genocide. It was the model or template that was used by other totalitarians to follow including Nazi Germany and the Communist Chinese.
But unlike other horrific historical periods, the Soviet genocide was covered up by Marxists in the West who embraced a new ideology to produce a new egalitarian state, one that used class as the defining criteria to put people to death.
Unfortunately, they are still very much in control of the socialist part of this agenda, and are as active as ever on campuses, the media, and in government, now they are in the White House.
This failed ideology is as pernicious and influential as it was over 100 years ago. Unlike National Socialism, egalitarian socialism maintains its presence in various forms in all Western nations…”

Soviet Spy, Lawyer, Government Official, Assassin's Council
John Abt
John Abt was the primary lawyer of choice by accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald (President John F. Kennedy) and convicted assassin, Sirhan Sirhan (Robert F. Kennedy), yet neither accused assassin knew Jonathan Abt…
John Abt was an American Radical Lawyer, public official, Soviet Spy, and traitor.
He was the Chief of Litigation, Agricultural Adjustment Administration from 1933 to 1935, assistant general counsel of the Works Progress Administration in 1935, chief counsel on Senator Robert La Follette, Jr.'s, ‘LaFollette Committee’ from 1936 to 1937 and special assistant to the United States Attorney General, 1937 and 1938, in the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In 1948 Abt worked with the Progressive Party of former Vice President Henry A. Wallace.
Ware Group
Abt was also a member of the Ware group, a group of American governmental employees in the 1930s who belonged to the Communist Party of the United States. After the group's founder, Harold Ware, was killed in an automobile collision in 1935, Abt married Jessica Smith, Ware's widow.
In late 1943 Jacob Golos, who headed the Communist Party's secret apparatus, was referred to a group of party members by General Secretary of the Communist Party, Earl Browder.
This group of government employees had been engaged for some time in espionage for Browder, who held rank and position in the Soviet Union espionage apparatus, and held regular clandestine meetings at Abt's apartment.
In early 1944, Golos sent Elizabeth Bentley to make contact with the group at Abt's apartment. In attendance were John Abt, Victor Perlo, Charles Kramer, Harry Magdoff and Edward Fitzgerald.
They discussed paying party dues to Bentley, the various types of information each would be able to deliver, and the type of information other members not in attendance would also be willing to deliver.
In late 1943, the FBI opened an investigation of Abt. Its surveillance showed frequent meetings in the early months of 1944 between Abt and a man then known as Alexander Stevens, one of the several pseudonyms used by Josef Peters, who at one time headed the party's secret apparatus but was still involved in clandestine activities.
Abt turned the Perlo group over to the KGB in 1944.
Abt is referenced in Venona decrypts #588 KGB New York to Moscow, 29 April 1944 and #687 KGB New York tp Moscow, 13 May 1944.
During Lee Harvey Oswald's interrogation by the Dallas Police on the evening of 22 November 1963, after his arrest for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, he requested the services of Mr. Abt:
"I want that attorney in New York, Mr. Abt. I don't know him personally but I know about a case that he handled some years ago, where he represented the people who had violated the Smith Act, [which made it illegal to teach or advocate the violent overthrow of the U.S. government] . . . I don't know him personally, but that is the attorney I want. . . . If I can't get him, then I may get the American Civil Liberties Union to send me an attorney."
Perlo group
The Perlo group is the name given to a group of people who provided information which was given to Soviet intelligence agencies; it was active during the World War II period, until the entire group was exposed to the FBI by the defection of Elizabeth Bentley.
It had sources on the War Production Board, the Senate La Follette Subcommittee on Civil Liberties; and in the United States Department of Treasury.
The Perlo group and Venona
Much useful addition information on the activities of the Perlo group was given by the Venona project. The first Venona transcript referencing the Perlo group gives the names of all the members in clear text, as code names had not yet been assigned (except in the case of Harold Glasser, who had already been assigned a code name because of previous engagements with Soviet espionage).
The Perlo group fits into the Venona project information when transcript # 687 of 13 May 1944 is examined.
Iskhak Akhmerov in New York City personally prepared a report to MGB headquarters in Moscow advising that some unspecified action had been taken regarding Elizabeth Bentley in accordance with instructions of Earl Browder. Akhmerov then made reference to winter and also to Harry Magdoff. This latter reference was then followed by a statement that in Bentley's opinion "they" are reliable. It was also mentioned that no one had interested himself in their possibilities.
The name Golovin was mentioned, and it was then reported that Victor Perlo, Charles Kramer, Edward Fitzgerald and Harry Magdoff would take turns coming to New York every two weeks. Akhmerov said Kramer and Fitzgerald knew Greg Silvermaster, whose cover name was later changed to "Robert".
Bentley advised that Jacob Golos informed her he had made contact with a group in Washington, D.C. through Earl Browder. After the death of Golos in 1943, two meetings were arranged with this group in 1944. The first meeting was arranged by Browder and was held in early 1944. The meetings were held in the apartment of John Abt in New York City and Bentley was introduced to four individuals identified as Victor Perlo, Charles Kramer, Harry Magdoff and Edward Fitzgerald.
KGB Archives
Allen Weinstein and Alexander Vassiliev in Haunted Wood, a book written from an examination of KGB Archives in Moscow, report the KGB credits the Perlo group members with having sent, among other items, the following 1945 U.S. Government documents to Moscow:
February
Contents of a War Production Board memo dealing with apportionment of aircraft to the USSR in the event of war on Japan:

Information on views within the U.S. Army circles concerning the inevitability of war against the USSR as well as statements by an air force general supporting U.S. acquisition of advanced bases in Europe for the construction and deployment of missiles.
Perlo Group Members
Victor Perlo headed the Perlo group. Perlo was originally a member of the Ware group before World War II. The ring included a Senate staff director and supplied the Soviet Union with United States aircraft production figures.
Perlo infiltrated through the United States Department of Commerce in 1938 to gather data on basic economic decisions he presented to Harry Hopkins, Advisor to the President and Secretary of Commerce.
Perlo transferred to the Division of Monetary Research, and served under Harry Dexter White, followed by Frank Coe and Harold Glasser.
Perlo left the government in 1947.
Perlo also worked for the Brookings Institution and wrote a book critical of U.S. foreign policy, ‘American Imperialism.’
Perlo's code name in Soviet intelligence and in the Venona project is "Raider".

John Abt was the primary lawyer of choice by accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald (President John F. Kennedy) and convicted assassin, Sirhan Sirhan (Robert F. Kennedy), yet neither accused assassin knew Jonathan Abt…
John Abt was an American Radical Lawyer, public official, Soviet Spy, and traitor.
He was the Chief of Litigation, Agricultural Adjustment Administration from 1933 to 1935, assistant general counsel of the Works Progress Administration in 1935, chief counsel on Senator Robert La Follette, Jr.'s, ‘LaFollette Committee’ from 1936 to 1937 and special assistant to the United States Attorney General, 1937 and 1938, in the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In 1948 Abt worked with the Progressive Party of former Vice President Henry A. Wallace.
Ware Group
Abt was also a member of the Ware group, a group of American governmental employees in the 1930s who belonged to the Communist Party of the United States. After the group's founder, Harold Ware, was killed in an automobile collision in 1935, Abt married Jessica Smith, Ware's widow.
In late 1943 Jacob Golos, who headed the Communist Party's secret apparatus, was referred to a group of party members by General Secretary of the Communist Party, Earl Browder.
This group of government employees had been engaged for some time in espionage for Browder, who held rank and position in the Soviet Union espionage apparatus, and held regular clandestine meetings at Abt's apartment.
In early 1944, Golos sent Elizabeth Bentley to make contact with the group at Abt's apartment. In attendance were John Abt, Victor Perlo, Charles Kramer, Harry Magdoff and Edward Fitzgerald.
They discussed paying party dues to Bentley, the various types of information each would be able to deliver, and the type of information other members not in attendance would also be willing to deliver.
In late 1943, the FBI opened an investigation of Abt. Its surveillance showed frequent meetings in the early months of 1944 between Abt and a man then known as Alexander Stevens, one of the several pseudonyms used by Josef Peters, who at one time headed the party's secret apparatus but was still involved in clandestine activities.
Abt turned the Perlo group over to the KGB in 1944.
Abt is referenced in Venona decrypts #588 KGB New York to Moscow, 29 April 1944 and #687 KGB New York tp Moscow, 13 May 1944.
During Lee Harvey Oswald's interrogation by the Dallas Police on the evening of 22 November 1963, after his arrest for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, he requested the services of Mr. Abt:
"I want that attorney in New York, Mr. Abt. I don't know him personally but I know about a case that he handled some years ago, where he represented the people who had violated the Smith Act, [which made it illegal to teach or advocate the violent overthrow of the U.S. government] . . . I don't know him personally, but that is the attorney I want. . . . If I can't get him, then I may get the American Civil Liberties Union to send me an attorney."
Perlo group
The Perlo group is the name given to a group of people who provided information which was given to Soviet intelligence agencies; it was active during the World War II period, until the entire group was exposed to the FBI by the defection of Elizabeth Bentley.
It had sources on the War Production Board, the Senate La Follette Subcommittee on Civil Liberties; and in the United States Department of Treasury.
The Perlo group and Venona
Much useful addition information on the activities of the Perlo group was given by the Venona project. The first Venona transcript referencing the Perlo group gives the names of all the members in clear text, as code names had not yet been assigned (except in the case of Harold Glasser, who had already been assigned a code name because of previous engagements with Soviet espionage).
The Perlo group fits into the Venona project information when transcript # 687 of 13 May 1944 is examined.
Iskhak Akhmerov in New York City personally prepared a report to MGB headquarters in Moscow advising that some unspecified action had been taken regarding Elizabeth Bentley in accordance with instructions of Earl Browder. Akhmerov then made reference to winter and also to Harry Magdoff. This latter reference was then followed by a statement that in Bentley's opinion "they" are reliable. It was also mentioned that no one had interested himself in their possibilities.
The name Golovin was mentioned, and it was then reported that Victor Perlo, Charles Kramer, Edward Fitzgerald and Harry Magdoff would take turns coming to New York every two weeks. Akhmerov said Kramer and Fitzgerald knew Greg Silvermaster, whose cover name was later changed to "Robert".
Bentley advised that Jacob Golos informed her he had made contact with a group in Washington, D.C. through Earl Browder. After the death of Golos in 1943, two meetings were arranged with this group in 1944. The first meeting was arranged by Browder and was held in early 1944. The meetings were held in the apartment of John Abt in New York City and Bentley was introduced to four individuals identified as Victor Perlo, Charles Kramer, Harry Magdoff and Edward Fitzgerald.
KGB Archives
Allen Weinstein and Alexander Vassiliev in Haunted Wood, a book written from an examination of KGB Archives in Moscow, report the KGB credits the Perlo group members with having sent, among other items, the following 1945 U.S. Government documents to Moscow:
February

Perlo Group Members
Victor Perlo headed the Perlo group. Perlo was originally a member of the Ware group before World War II. The ring included a Senate staff director and supplied the Soviet Union with United States aircraft production figures.
Perlo infiltrated through the United States Department of Commerce in 1938 to gather data on basic economic decisions he presented to Harry Hopkins, Advisor to the President and Secretary of Commerce.
Perlo transferred to the Division of Monetary Research, and served under Harry Dexter White, followed by Frank Coe and Harold Glasser.
Perlo left the government in 1947.
Perlo also worked for the Brookings Institution and wrote a book critical of U.S. foreign policy, ‘American Imperialism.’
Perlo's code name in Soviet intelligence and in the Venona project is "Raider".
Victor Perlo was Chief of the Aviation Section of the War Production Board; head of branch in Research Section, Office of Price Administration Department of Commerce; Division of Monetary Research Department of Treasury; Brookings Institution

Proletarian Literature
Proletarian Literature in America (© John Puzzo, September 2003; 2005;2008)
Jonathan Swift: 'When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this infallible sign: that all the dunces are in confederacy against him.'
From: proletariat: (‘proletariat’ is a European term, as is capitalism…)
Originally, ‘proletarii,’ “The lowest class of ancient Roman citizens; destitute of property, they contributed nothing to society but their ‘proles’ – offspring. Ineligible even for the Army due to their low station, they were useful only as laborers and breeders of more laborers.
Marx co-opted this ancient term to mean, the laboring class, especially: the class of industrial workers who lack their own means of production and hence must sell their labor to live.
Marxists created the new semantic - ‘dialectical materialism,’ as an endless argument to redefine human life in the materialist terms of class struggle of ‘have vs. have not.’ This semantic is meant by Marxists to be an applied concept requiring thought and action:
Divide, separate, and polarize the ‘new proletariat’ according to class, age, gender, race, etc., and apply the Marxian solution.
Proletarian Literature (PL) was at the height of its influence in the 1930’s, especially in the USA. Encouraged by the Soviet subversion of the arts, similar writing was being done in the USSR, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, India, China and elsewhere.
In full triumphant maturity in the 21st Century, PL is the cultural Marxism of the Frankfurt School (The Frankfurt School is a school of neo-Marxist critical theory, social research, and philosophy.) that carries the full force of law (hate crimes = thought crimes where the expression of language is controlled) in every aspect of Western culture, but especially in America where its influence and power, except as it has been a most effective tool of subversion, defies logic. The development of 'critical theory' has led to what we now know as politically correct language, thought and behavior, hate crimes (Orwell called them thought crimes), and the politics of devisiveness (class warfare) and giving life to the Marxist concept of dialectical materialism.
Proletarian literature uses emotion to disarm logic and reason to sell the idea that those without influence are victims but where labor organizers, revolutionaries, socialists, and ultimately the Communist Party stand by as the last best hope of humanity against exploitation.
Critics and reviewers have dealt harshly with authors who showed skepticism of the proletarian Utopia. George Orwell - the nemesis, specter, and eternal bogeyman haunting the communist conspiracy - did not enjoy universal acceptance in the Publishing industry, the great popularity of his books notwithstanding:
"...NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR was published during the Cold War on June 8, 1949, and the book created bitter political controversy. Communist reviewers violently attacked the book.
These attacks made Orwell feel that he must have struck home. When the Communist press called him “…maggot, octopus, hyena and swine…” he wryly told David Astor: “…they seem to be very fond of animals.”
Truth as a concept in literature has devolved into an exercise in not what is truth….but ‘where’ is truth and the truth known as ‘Un-truth.’
What is ‘1984’ if it is not a prophetic glimpse of today?
“…a haunting and terrifying vision of what the world has become before the end of the 20th Century…a world held in the grip of fear …Absolute conformity…continuous and complete surveillance where privacy is forbidden …organized hatred…thought crimes are real…perpetual war waged for perpetual victory…pleasure is warped…language and history systematically destroyed…and where ignorance is strength…slavery is freedom…and where love is a crime…“A world of Secret dreams and dangerous reality…“A furtive world where nothing is as it seems…room 101, where torture and murder is carried out in the Ministry of Love and the Ministry of truth deals in ‘un-truth’…” (Film Promo for ‘1984,’ the film, British release.)
American Proletarian Literature is a bitter, rebellious, and tormented indictment of the American Dream. Sentimental, tragic, doomed, and fatalistic, PL is most effective when it presents human existence in American society as predatory and destructive, which PL writers view as the result of an imbalance in social power structures, not in the shortcomings of personal responsibility.
Proletarian Literature anticipates the existential angst of writer’s in post WW II America. PL writers prepared the soil for the anti-hero philosophies of the “GOD IS DEAD” universe, where life is meaningless and anxiety the only reasonable response to it; where moral relativism would supplant the “virtuous life” advocated by Christ and in the literature inspired by the pre-eminent, Greek philosopher, Socrates. Proletarian authors would replace the entire perspective of Western Civilization with the never ending ‘dialectical materialist’ finger-pointing of “have” vs. “have not.”
In this atmosphere, PL authors were free and unrestrained to present evil in complex, sometimes sympathetic characters whose motivations may not be inherently evil and sometimes even good, but nonetheless do bad things.
In this manner, PL provides a medium for Goethian evil: the evil that produces ‘good. The mind of every literary (movie) consumer is a garden for this weed and emotion is the fertilizer.
The heroes/antiheroes of PL are habitually dull, possessed of ambiguous morals, are rarely persons of rank and achievement (those of rank and achievement do not fare well in PL), and they are routinely animated by their own inferior social status and personal resentments – an ample arena for presenting troubling psychological conflict and awkward settings, as in Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice and Men,’ where both ‘protagonists’ – it is hard to call them heroes – commit murder.
PL is the exaltation of ‘commonness’ over that of the ‘common man’ as he is epitomized in the earlier writing of Walt Whitman, Horatio Alger and in all of the biographies of the great and near great throughout history.
Arthur Miller, in, ‘Death of a Salesman,’ trashed the ‘common man’ in his character, Willy Loman. Loman was a salesman. He produced nothing (unlike the PL masses that only have their labor to offer). The fruits of his labor - and that of every other American salesman - were hopes and dreams. They produced sales - and sales filled orders and filling orders emptied inventories, meaning the masses worked. The salesman was the point man for American industry, for American Progress, and for food on the table. For Arthur Miller, though, Willie Loman the salesman was the ultimate loser.
In the field of PL music, folksingers Pete Seeger and fellow veteran communist Woody Guthrie wrote about Joe Hill and the Wobblies and penned lyrics to such socialist anthems as “This land is my Land.”
Because of its appeal to youth and its entertainment value at mass meetings, protest gatherings and in ‘movement-building’ (you can always buy the record and take the movement with you) propaganda music provided a disarming entree into the world of socialism. Woody Guthrie the communist was a pacifist until WW II, when ‘Mother Russia’ was threatened by Germany. Woody joined the Merchant Marine.
PL is the application of Marx’s revolutionary concepts to literature, science, history, sociology, psychology and the educational establishment. PL musicians became the troubadours of socialism, minstrels of socialist convention who found culpability for the human condition everywhere outside of the socialist camp but especially in America, where, for them, the uniquely American reality of opportunity became “opportunism” and the only good government meant enough red tape to strangle it.
For PL writers, musicians, performers, actors, and others in the creative arts, WW II was ‘the good war’ because FASCISM had to be defeated. COMMUNISM, however, the other side of the socialist coin, has produced the deaths of ten times as many people as National Socialism. Some form of it exists today in most Western Nations but without the protest songs that front anti-communist ‘peace movements.’

Election 2008: They're Inside The Wire
"We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times." --George Washington
Tuesday, 4 November 2008, is a date which will live in infamy. While most presidential elections are followed with calls for unity by both candidates, Barack Obama issued no such call in his speech last night, with the possible exception of his observation, "I may not have won your vote tonight, but ... I will be your president, too."
Of course, none was expected -- liberals have elected a Socialist with deep ties to cultural and ethnocentric radicalism, and his executive and legislative agenda poses a greater threat to American liberty than that of any president in the history of our great republic.
Obama has twice taken an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" and to "bear true faith and allegiance to the same."
He has never honored that oath, and, based on his policy proposals and objectives, he has no intention to honor it after again reciting that oath on 20 January 2009. Obama seeks to, in his own words, "break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution."
For that reason, this morning, the symbol of our national heritage of liberty, the American flag atop the 35-foot mast at our editorial offices (The Patriot Post), was respectfully lowered, inverted, and raised to full mast as a sign of national distress. It will remain inverted until next Tuesday, when we right it in honor of Veterans Day.
Today, at least 55,805,197 Americans are concerned for the future of our nation's great tradition of liberty. Some 63,007,791 Americans have been lulled, under the aegis of "hope and change," into a state of what is best described as "cult worship" and all its attendant deception.
One of our editors, a Marine now working in the private sector, summed up our circumstances with this situation report. It aptly captured the sentiments around our office:
"It's been tough, fellow Patriots; tough to stomach the idea that more than half of my fellow citizens who vote, have booted a genuine American hero to the curb for a rudderless charlatan.
What a sad indictment on our citizenry that some are so eager to overlook his myriad flaws -- his radical roots, his extreme liberalism, his utter lack of experience or achievement.
Barack Obama is the antithesis of King's dream: He's a man judged by the color of his skin rather than the content of his character.
If it's God's will that Barack Obama is our next president, then so be it. We Patriots will pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and wade back to the war front, intent on liberty or death."
This battle is lost, but the war is not. Let's roll.

UPRIGHT
"Ok. It was a bad night. It wasn't the blow-out the Democrats were hoping for, but it was plenty bad enough." --Rich Galen
"I come to this moment of national decision with deep concerns about the next president. [Barack Obama's] victory is likely to unleash an ideological and vengeful Democratic Congress." --Michael Gerson
"Obama ... talks less and less about bipartisanship, his calling card during his earlier messianic stage. He does not need to. [Obama now has] large Democratic majorities in both houses. And unlike Clinton in 1992, Obama is no centrist." --Charles Krauthammer
"'E Pluribus Unum' is no longer our national motto. These three words are: 'Do For Me.' As in: What will the government do for me?" --Michelle Malkin
"Politicians have immense power to do harm to the economy. But they have very little power to do good." --Walter Williams
"Most change in America doesn't come from politicians. It comes from people inventing things and creating. The telephone, the telegraph, the computer, all those things didn't come from government. Our world is going to get better and better, as long as we keep the politicians from screwing it up." --David Boaz
"Conservatism always has been and always will be a force to reckon with because it most closely approximates the reality of the human condition, based, as it is, on the cumulative judgment and experience of a people. It is the heir, not the apostate, to the accumulated wisdom, morality and faith of the people. ... Our challenge is not to retreat to the comfort of self-congratulatory exile but to sweat and bleed -- and be victorious -- in the arena of public opinion." --Tony Blankley
WE DEPEND ON YOU!
"Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood." --John Adams

EDITORIAL EXEGESIS
"The American electorate has handed [Barack Obama] and his fellow Democrats the kind of sweeping victory they haven't had since at least 1976 and in certain respects since 1964. We'll now find out if the Democratic Party has learned anything since the last two times it held all the levers of power in Washington. ... The economy was by far the dominant issue, and voters held GOP Members who belonged to the party in the White House responsible.
There's some injustice in this, because if anything Democratic policies have prevailed the past two years in Washington. But neither Mr. Bush nor John McCain made that case clearly to voters. The Democratic temptation will be to interpret this victory as a mandate for renewed liberal government. Republicans hope they do.
The last three times the Democrats won this kind of victory -- in 1964, 1976 and 1992 -- they overreached and suffered big losses two years later. ... Republicans can console themselves that soon Democrats won't have George W. Bush to kick around anymore. They'll now have to take responsibility if the economy stays in recession, or if Iraq turns chaotic again after an abrupt U.S. withdrawal. Americans have entrusted Democrats with what will essentially be unrestrained power, and we'll soon see if liberals have learned to govern." --The Wall Street Journal
INSIGHT
"Since our last meeting we have been through a disastrous election. It is easy for us to be discouraged, as pundits hail that election as a repudiation of our philosophy and even as a mandate of some kind or other. ... Bitter as it is to accept the results of the November election, we should have reason for some optimism. ...[I]t is possible we have been persuasive to a greater degree than we had ever realized. Few, if any, Democratic Party candidates in the last election ran as liberals. Listening to them I had the eerie feeling we were hearing reruns of [Barry] Goldwater speeches. I even thought I heard a few of my own." --Ronald Reagan
DEZINFORMATSIA

THE DEMO-GOGUES
Mourning in America: "If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. ... It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America." --Barack Obama, declaring victory on Election Day
Redistributing wealth: "The reason that we want to do this, change our tax code, is not because I have anything against the rich. I love rich people! I want all of you to be rich. Go for it. That's the America dream, that's the American way, that's terrific. The point is, though, that -- and it's not just charity, it's not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class -- it's that when we actually make sure that everybody's got a shot -- when young people can all go to college, when everybody's got decent health care, when everybody's got a little more money at the end of the month -- then guess what? Everybody starts spending that money ... and everybody is better off. All boats rise. That's what happened in the 1990s, that's what we need to restore. And that's what I'm gonna do as president of the United States of America. John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic. You know I don't know when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness." --Barack Obama
Bankrupting coal: "What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there. ... So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted." --Barack Obama in January in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle -- the Chronicle spiked this part of the interview ++ "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it -- whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers." --Barack Obama in the same interview
We can hardly wait: "I can't think of a time that I have been more excited at the prospect of change. ... It's issue after issue. I think we will have a better policy on Iraq. I think we will have a better policy on energy. I think we will have a better policy on immigration. I think we will have a better policy on education. I think we will have a better policy on health care. It's a huge list." --Sen. Chuck Schumer
VILLAGE IDIOTS
Barack Almighty: "There's this beautiful thing about my husband. He thinks he can really do anything -- he does. With his own power and will, he can fix it." --Michelle Obama on her all-powerful husband
Obama's election is just like a terrorist attack!: "I haven't seen this sense of unity since 9/11, really, really, and 9/11 was this tragic experience that brought us all together and now we're all brought together in the name of hope. Not since 9/11 have I experienced anything even kind of close to this." --Oprah Winfrey
Gun grabbers: "America should take notice thareasonable policies on guns are carrying the day. ... The gun issue has clearly lost its status as a 'wedge' issue in most places and most races." --Brady Campaign chief gun grabber Paul Helmke
Demos raise taxes: "As you know, whenever Democrats get in, taxes do go up. And if they go up and they work the way that Bill Clinton's tax plan worked, I'm okay with that. ... We want everybody to be able to go to the doctor. We want everybody to be able to do all the things they want to do -- then somebody's got to pay for it, and it's people making a lot of dough, and that's the way the American system has always been." --Whoopi Goldberg

"I want to invite Senator Obama because he needs to do something... He needs to do something about those skinny legs! We're gonna make him do some squats and then we're going to go give him some bicep curls to beef up the scrawny little arms. But if we only could do something about putting some meat on his ideas." --Arnold Schwarzenegger ++ "I disagree with Arnold Schwarzenegger about one thing. He said Obama needs to go out there and do some squats. He's already done squat! Barack Obama has done diddly-squat!" --Rush Limbaugh
"Barack Obama's staff pleaded for get-out-the-vote volunteers in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. The memo said not to come if they're expecting a vacation, they should only come if they want to work. Look, if they wanted to work they wouldn't be Democrats." --Argus Hamilton
"According to recent news reports, Bill Clinton has now become an adviser to Barack Obama. Do you know who is really upset about this? Michelle Obama." --Jay Leno

Tuesday, 4 November 2008, is a date which will live in infamy. While most presidential elections are followed with calls for unity by both candidates, Barack Obama issued no such call in his speech last night, with the possible exception of his observation, "I may not have won your vote tonight, but ... I will be your president, too."
Of course, none was expected -- liberals have elected a Socialist with deep ties to cultural and ethnocentric radicalism, and his executive and legislative agenda poses a greater threat to American liberty than that of any president in the history of our great republic.
Obama has twice taken an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" and to "bear true faith and allegiance to the same."
He has never honored that oath, and, based on his policy proposals and objectives, he has no intention to honor it after again reciting that oath on 20 January 2009. Obama seeks to, in his own words, "break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution."
For that reason, this morning, the symbol of our national heritage of liberty, the American flag atop the 35-foot mast at our editorial offices (The Patriot Post), was respectfully lowered, inverted, and raised to full mast as a sign of national distress. It will remain inverted until next Tuesday, when we right it in honor of Veterans Day.
Today, at least 55,805,197 Americans are concerned for the future of our nation's great tradition of liberty. Some 63,007,791 Americans have been lulled, under the aegis of "hope and change," into a state of what is best described as "cult worship" and all its attendant deception.
One of our editors, a Marine now working in the private sector, summed up our circumstances with this situation report. It aptly captured the sentiments around our office:
"It's been tough, fellow Patriots; tough to stomach the idea that more than half of my fellow citizens who vote, have booted a genuine American hero to the curb for a rudderless charlatan.
What a sad indictment on our citizenry that some are so eager to overlook his myriad flaws -- his radical roots, his extreme liberalism, his utter lack of experience or achievement.
Barack Obama is the antithesis of King's dream: He's a man judged by the color of his skin rather than the content of his character.
If it's God's will that Barack Obama is our next president, then so be it. We Patriots will pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and wade back to the war front, intent on liberty or death."
This battle is lost, but the war is not. Let's roll.

UPRIGHT
"Ok. It was a bad night. It wasn't the blow-out the Democrats were hoping for, but it was plenty bad enough." --Rich Galen
"I come to this moment of national decision with deep concerns about the next president. [Barack Obama's] victory is likely to unleash an ideological and vengeful Democratic Congress." --Michael Gerson
"Obama ... talks less and less about bipartisanship, his calling card during his earlier messianic stage. He does not need to. [Obama now has] large Democratic majorities in both houses. And unlike Clinton in 1992, Obama is no centrist." --Charles Krauthammer
"'E Pluribus Unum' is no longer our national motto. These three words are: 'Do For Me.' As in: What will the government do for me?" --Michelle Malkin
"Politicians have immense power to do harm to the economy. But they have very little power to do good." --Walter Williams
"Most change in America doesn't come from politicians. It comes from people inventing things and creating. The telephone, the telegraph, the computer, all those things didn't come from government. Our world is going to get better and better, as long as we keep the politicians from screwing it up." --David Boaz
"Conservatism always has been and always will be a force to reckon with because it most closely approximates the reality of the human condition, based, as it is, on the cumulative judgment and experience of a people. It is the heir, not the apostate, to the accumulated wisdom, morality and faith of the people. ... Our challenge is not to retreat to the comfort of self-congratulatory exile but to sweat and bleed -- and be victorious -- in the arena of public opinion." --Tony Blankley
WE DEPEND ON YOU!
"Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood." --John Adams

EDITORIAL EXEGESIS
"The American electorate has handed [Barack Obama] and his fellow Democrats the kind of sweeping victory they haven't had since at least 1976 and in certain respects since 1964. We'll now find out if the Democratic Party has learned anything since the last two times it held all the levers of power in Washington. ... The economy was by far the dominant issue, and voters held GOP Members who belonged to the party in the White House responsible.
There's some injustice in this, because if anything Democratic policies have prevailed the past two years in Washington. But neither Mr. Bush nor John McCain made that case clearly to voters. The Democratic temptation will be to interpret this victory as a mandate for renewed liberal government. Republicans hope they do.
The last three times the Democrats won this kind of victory -- in 1964, 1976 and 1992 -- they overreached and suffered big losses two years later. ... Republicans can console themselves that soon Democrats won't have George W. Bush to kick around anymore. They'll now have to take responsibility if the economy stays in recession, or if Iraq turns chaotic again after an abrupt U.S. withdrawal. Americans have entrusted Democrats with what will essentially be unrestrained power, and we'll soon see if liberals have learned to govern." --The Wall Street Journal
INSIGHT
"Since our last meeting we have been through a disastrous election. It is easy for us to be discouraged, as pundits hail that election as a repudiation of our philosophy and even as a mandate of some kind or other. ... Bitter as it is to accept the results of the November election, we should have reason for some optimism. ...[I]t is possible we have been persuasive to a greater degree than we had ever realized. Few, if any, Democratic Party candidates in the last election ran as liberals. Listening to them I had the eerie feeling we were hearing reruns of [Barry] Goldwater speeches. I even thought I heard a few of my own." --Ronald Reagan
