Dear Friend of America's Survival,
On October 23, 1983, Russia-backed Iran ordered and carried out the suicide bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon, killing 241 American military personnel. An Iranian drove the car bomb into the barracks. I attended and covered the 2003 trial in which the detailed evidence of the Iranian role in this bombing was presented in detail. As I reported for AIM at the time, the trial involved a case brought against Iran by attorneys Steven Perles and Thomas Fortune Fay on behalf of the families of the Marines who were killed. Under a U.S. law passed in 1996, victims of terrorism can sue state sponsors of terrorism and collect damages from the assets that the terrorist regime may hold in the U.S. The trial featured a videotaped deposition of a former terrorist insider named “Mahmoud,” who described in detail how Iran ordered the terrorists to attack the U.S. Marines and French troops in Lebanon, and revealed that the driver of the truck carrying the bomb was himself an Iranian. In a videotaped deposition, former CIA officer Robert Baer testified that there was no doubt, based on the best intelligence information, that Iran was behind it. Baer said this bombing, and a previous bombing of the U.S. embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, were “acts of war.” Dr. Reuven Paz of Israel testified via videotape that before the Marine barracks bombing Israel had intercepted a message from the government of Iran to its Ambassador in Syria, calling for military attacks on the foreign forces in Lebanon, including the Americans. Paz, who worked for the Israeli security service known as Shin Bet, said the intercepted message was provided to the CIA. Admiral James Lyons, who was Deputy Chief of Naval Operations at the time, testified that he received a copy of the message, which described the need for a “spectacular action” against the Marines. But he received the message two days after the bombing. Sergeant Steve Russell, who was guarding the embassy on that fateful day, said he had been warned about a possible car bombing of the barracks literally hours before it happened. He warned others, and stayed alert. But, as a “peacekeeper” under restrictive rules of engagement, he carried an unloaded gun and the compound was surrounded only by concertina wire. The car bomber drove through all of this into the barracks. This evidence was accepted by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, who found Iran liable for billions of dollars in damages.

Dear Friend of America's Survival,
Here's the global news: The UN General Assembly on Friday adopted a budget of $3,073,830,500 for the United Nations to cover the year 2020 . Remember that former U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim was exposed as a Nazi war criminal AFTER he worked for the U.N. He was Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1972 to 1981. Waldheim, a Nazi Lieutenant in World War II, facilitated Nazi war crimes in the Balkans. He was still getting a $102,000 annual pension after he was exposed. He died in 2007. Intelligence Services of various countries knew about his collaboration with the Nazis before he took his U.N. job. The U.N. Pension Fund, which is reserved for the retirement of U.N. officials and bureaucrats, is worth $67.8 billion. And its value is rising. For America's Survival, Cliff Kincaid The Return of the Homosexual Imperialists By Cliff Kincaid It’s one thing to defend President Trump against false witness by the magazine Christianity Today. It’s another matter to rationalize or excuse how certain Trump officials are using the United Nations and the State Department to attack Christian nations. The controversial event occurred just a few days before Christmas, when Trump's U.S. Ambassador to Germany, longtime homosexual activist Richard Grenell, went to the United Nations to promote what he called a global initiative to force all U.N. members to approve homosexual conduct. He was joined in this demand by Trump’s U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Kelly Craft, who lectured the 69 countries which have laws making homosexuality illegal. She told them that “human dignity” requires that every country on the face of the earth embrace the practice of homosexuality. This is the kind of homosexual imperialism that evangelical Christians objected to from the Obama Administration. Christians in foreign countries saw the attack as unwarranted interference in their internal affairs and subversion of Biblical values. The event featuring Grenell and Craft was hosted by the U.S. Mission to the U.N. and included a representative of the Harvey Milk Foundation, named for the first openly gay politician in California. The George Soros-funded Open Society Foundations began a major global campaign to promote homosexuality in 2009, under the name of the “New Beginning” initiative, and it continues through “Funders for LGBTQ Issues.” This network claims that over a 40-year period, almost 800 different institutional grant-makers and foundations have provided more than $771 million to 6,000 different organizations working in 117 countries to promote legalization of homosexuality. One of the original proposals was “Encouraging U.S. diplomatic engagement on international LGBT issues as legitimate human rights concerns.” But at a time when Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual exploitation of young women is still in the news and his collaborators are being sought by law enforcement, the decision by these Trump officials to continue the Obama policy of associating with the global homosexual movement carries special risks. Years ago, a group called the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) was discovered to have ties to the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). Under pressure, ILGA expelled NAMBLA and two other pedophile groups. Harry Hay, the communist founder of the modern gay rights movement, was a supporter of NAMBLA, while Harvey Milk, who became a gay activist icon after he was assassinated at the age of 33, was fond of teenage homosexual lovers and was accused of being a homosexual predator. A major Democratic Party donor, gay activist Terry Bean, has been arrested on charges relating to a sex abuse case involving a teenager. Bean was a co-founder of the major homosexual lobby, the Human Rights Campaign. Homosexual Imperialism Many nations objected to the homosexual imperialism of Barack Hussein Obama, with Ugandan Christian minister Martin Ssempa saying, “Sodomy is neither the change we want nor can believe in.” In a video titled “Straight Nation Uprising,” based on his new book by the same name, he calls for “African resistance” to “Euro-American LGBT Aggression” on sexual matters. Grenell and Craft have justified their campaign by noting that Trump said his administration would be “working with other nations to stop criminalizing of homosexuality.” But there is no evidence that the president wanted to browbeat some of America’s friends and allies at the U.N. into accepting and promoting the homosexual lifestyle. It seems certain that the president was concerned about people being physically injured for their self-proclaimed sexual orientation. What happened at the U.N. was a major public spectacle designed to shame Christian nations into recognizing and approving homosexuality. It appears to be a case of Grenell hijacking U.S. foreign policy for the benefit of his friends in gay groups such as the Log Cabin Republicans. A foreign affairs advisor to Mitt Romney during his 2012 presidential campaign, Grenell has a same-sex partner and claims to be a Christian. Craft was reportedly recommended for her post by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. She and her husband, Joe Craft, donated about $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee. What they apparently don’t appreciate is that countries with a Christian or Muslim orientation have resisted putting government approval on homosexual conduct for many reasons, including public health. Indeed, in the modern era, the so-called “criminalization” of homosexuality is designed to discourage dangerous high-risk practices which spread AIDS and other diseases. AIDS is devastating Africa in particular. Ambassador Attacks Christian Zambia The Obama policy that is being continued by Trump officials Grenell and Craft has already led to a major deterioration of diplomatic relations with the African nation of Zambia. Indeed, a major scandal erupted when the U.S. Ambassador to Zambia, Daniel Foote, attacked the conservative Christian country of Zambia (96 percent Christian) over a court case involving the sentencing of two homosexuals. Incredibly, Foote’s official U.S. Government statement seemed to imply that Zambia was obligated to promote homosexuality because it received American foreign aid. Foote said “Zambia is one of the largest per-capita recipients of U.S. assistance in the world, at $500 million each year. In these countries where we contribute resources, this includes partnering in areas of mutual interest, and holding the recipient government accountable for its responsibilities under this partnership.” Zambian President Edgar Lungu reportedly called President Trump to complain about what U.S. officials were doing. He told Sky News, “We are saying no to homosexuality. When you are tying it to aid, if that is how you are going to bring your aid, then I’m afraid the West can leave us alone in our poverty. And we’ll continue scrounging and struggling.” The Trump Administration has now withdrawn Foote, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, from his post. Clean House at the United Nations Unless corrective action is taken quickly, the next move by major Soros-supported groups such as the Council for Global Equality and OutRight Action International will be to have the U.N. declare homosexual activity an international human right. Such a move would put Trump on the spot. His supporters like what he has done in the areas of economics, anti-abortion policy, and national defense. But many of these same people do not want the government to approve homosexual conduct. Damage to America’s standing in the world -- as a country that respects the sovereignty of nations -- has already been done. But if Trump is pressured to embrace a global “right” to homosexuality, it could not only further undermine his support among conservative Christians but turn out to be a moral catastrophe for America and the world. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usaurvival.org Dear Friend of America's Survival,
President Trump says he has done a lot for his Christian supporters. But look here: Trump's U.S. Ambassador to Germany, the openly gay Richard Grenell, went to the United Nations on December 18 to promote the Trump Administration's global initiative to decriminalize homosexuality and accept sodomy. Sodomy is how HIV/AIDS is spread. As Ben Johnson of Lifesite News reports, "Men who have sex with men (MSM) are two percent of the population but make up 55 percent of people who were HIV-positive in 2013..." Sodomy is declared a sin by the Bible. It is derived from the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Book of Genesis and involves anal sex. Leviticus 18 New International Version (NIV) 22: “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman;that is detestable." The Center for Family & Human Rights reported: During the event, Grenell sold the U.S. campaign to decriminalize homosexual conduct as a pragmatic effort backed by both President Trump and Vice-President Pence. Grenell asked UN member states for cooperation in drawing up “69 plans of action” for each of the 69 countries that criminalize homosexual conduct. He said each should be named and shamed at the UN “on a daily basis.”...Grenell was accompanied by Robert Destro, the head of the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. Estimates project that Destro’s office doles out over $20 million annually for LGBT advocacy through several funds, including the Global Equality Fund. Destro’s office has historically provided seed money for many LGBT advocacy projects in foreign countries. For News added that Trump's U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Kelly Craft joined in: "In a special meeting sponsored by the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, and American Amb. Kelly Craft to the United Nations joined other diplomats and human rights activists to bring attention to the criminalizing [of] gay people by dozens of UN member states." Again, "the criminalizing of gay people" is designed to protect traditional values and discourage dangerous and unhealthy conduct. Grenell was also a signatory of a pro-homosexual brief to the Supreme Court on "gay" marriage. The signatories included:
When will Trump's evangelical supporters rise up in anger over this cultural imperialism? For America's Survival, Cliff Kincaid Dear Friend of America's Survival,
One far-left group, which calls itself Popular Resistance, claims that the Democratic Party’s electoral strategy of impeaching President Trump is backfiring. Its newsletter proclaimed, “Before impeachment, Trump was losing to each of the leading Democrats, but the latest USA Today/Suffolk University poll finds for the first time Trump defeating all of the leading Democratic candidates. Gallup reports that Trump’s approval has risen by six points since the launch of the impeachment inquiry. A CNN poll found that support for impeachment fell by five percent over the past month.” As a result, another far-left strategy has emerged. It’s an effort to divide and demoralize Trump’s base by casting doubt on what Trump has done for conservative Christian voters. The celebration of the birth of Christ is a perfect time to reflect on this charge and understand who’s making it and why. By a nearly 2-1 margin, young people favor impeachment and want Trump removed from office. They do not understand the tactics and strategy of the left because they are, for the most part, victims of them. In fact, they are products of the Marxist Madrassas known as colleges and universities. The hard fact is that many of these students lose their Christian values when they go off to college. The problem is so dramatic that Aurora Griffin wrote a book, How I Stayed Catholic at Harvard: 40 Tips for Faithful College Students. In the United States, Trevor Loudon, an author and filmmaker, has written a series of stories in the Epoch Times about efforts by atheistic pro-Chinese communists to turn states like Virginia, Texas, Arizona, and Florida permanently blue. The activities by these street communists complement the millions of dollars being spent by capitalist billionaires Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer to drive the voters to the polls. For America's Survival, Cliff Kincaid Fake Christians Open Fire on Pro-Christian Trump
By Cliff Kincaid The large number of Democratic Party presidential candidates has become a running joke. But the unexpected strength of 37-year-old South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a Harvard graduate who calls himself a “gay dude in Mike Pence’s Indiana,” is a significant achievement, even for a political party that depends on identity politics. More importantly, Buttigieg claims to be a gay Christian, despite the Biblical scriptures that condemn same-sex conduct. He was “married” to another man in an Episcopal Church. Other candidates can only hope to match his personal lifestyle by pandering for votes from other elements of the LGBTQ community. In response to PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, last Thursday’s Democratic Party presidential debate showed Senator Elizabeth Warren appealing to “transgenders,” or people who want to dress or act like members of the opposite sex. It used to be considered a mental problem. Warren said, “The transgender community has been marginalized in every way possible.” This pandering, combined with hated for the rich and successful, is the Marxist way to total power. No segment of the population is too strange or weird to ignore. While ex-felons are now being given the right to vote in many states, adding to the progressive ranks, another Democratic Party constituency, potheads, is growing in numbers and strength. Those who survive the health problems associated with marijuana and vaping can be easily herded to the polls. Soon, heroin users will be promised free needles. Another constituency has now emerged – the fake Christians. Their targets are the Christians who take scripture seriously. Marxianity The Brannon Howse book, Marxianity, is the best analysis of how acceptance of sinful conduct such as homosexuality has spread in the churches. “The truth is,” he says, “only Biblically-based theology and lifestyle can be rightly called Christianity. The new option -- the imposter -- must be called something else. And that something else is what I decided to call Marxianity.” The Catholic Church, already infected with a gay Mafia and led by Marxist Pope Francis, has lost much of its institutional credibility, and most practicing Catholics know it. But these traditional Catholics are finding a voice in such publications as Catholic Family News and The Remnant. Many of them regard the Roman Catholic Church bureaucracy under Francis to be a phantom or false church working with the U.N. for global socialism. The case of Pete Buttigieg, who was raised Catholic but turned Episcopalian, is a prime example of the left-ward drift into what activist Pete LaBarbera calls “fake Christianity.” The case is solid, notes LaBarbera: Buttigieg quotes Scripture even as he defies it with his very public, and very fake, “marriage” to another man (See in the Bible: Matthew 19:4-6; Romans 1: 24-27; Jude 7; 1 Timothy 1:8-10; Leviticus 18:22). He served in the military but less well-known is the fact that he is the son of the late professor Joseph Buttigieg, who lectured at the University of Notre Dame about the politics of Antonio Gramsci, the leader of the faction of the world communist movement that emphasized communist infiltration of Western culture. This, too, is significant, since many people assume Catholics are automatically opposed to Marxism. That used to be the case, especially under Pope John Paul II, but the direction of the church under Pope Francis is not only toward collaboration with liberals, radicals, environmentalists, and communists but Islam. Indeed, Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar have proposed a World Day of Fraternity to the U.N., to be recognized on February 4, to be followed by a World Summit on Human Fraternity. The earth-centered “theology” of Pope Francis has also become a topic of major concern. It holds that God and the earth are one, and that man’s salvation does not require the mediation of a risen Jesus Christ and obedience to the Ten Commandments. Instead, man’s “religious duty” is to stop climate change through world government. On the surface, the sheer number of Democratic presidential candidates seems overwhelming and confusing. And a Marxist magazine called Jacobin is selling a book, Yesterday’s Man: The Case Against Joe Biden, asserting that Biden was the architect of the party’s “rightward turn.” But don’t be fooled. As I noted in a recent column, the far-left accepts the idea of Biden as a front man for the forces of subversion and socialism, and he is still the favorite to get the nomination. Biden, who claims to be Catholic and favors same-sex “marriage,” has moved so far left on abortion that he was denied communion at a Catholic Church in South Carolina. That demonstrated the continued influence and backbone of priests who uphold Catholic doctrine, which forbids abortion, just as it condemns same-sex behavior as intrinsically disordered and contrary to the natural law. Targeting Christians With the controversy over Christianity Today’s call in an article by Mark Galli for Trump’s removal from office, we can see Christian conservatives are being told they have an obligation to remove Trump, a pro-Christian president, over a phone call he made about foreign aid to Ukraine. Trump had called for an investigation of corruption on the part of Joe Biden’s son. Brannon Howse comments that what most Americans and Christians may not know is that back in 2010 Galli wrote an article that can only be described as heretical and blasphemous. That article, “Divine Drama Queen,” described God as a “crazy uncle” with emotional problems. The article was actually removed because of its blasphemous tone. But Galli suddenly has become a leading Christian thinker and a media celebrity because of his anti-Trump editorial. Clearly, he was seen by the media as someone who could undermine Christian support for Trump. In the same way, the March for Life MAGA (“Make America Great Again”) cap-wearing Catholic Christian teenagers from Covington, Kentucky, were depicted by the media as extremists harassing a Native American beating a drum. That also turned out to be fake news and a total hoax. These pro-life students were attacked because they represent hope for America and its traditional Christian values. The Christianity Today editorial was obviously timed to hurt Trump’s credibility with Christian voters at a time when his presidency is reeling from impeachment. But as Dr. James Dobson noted, “While Christianity Today is making its case for impeachment, I hope the editors will now tell us who they support for president among the Democrat field. That should tell us the rest of the story.” The “rest of the story” is whether someone like Mark Galli of Christianity Today would have the sufficient knowledge of scripture and the courage to describe Pete Buttigieg’s religious orientation as fake Christianity. In contrast to the matter of whether Trump’s phone call about Ukraine was right or wrong, the issue of homosexual behavior and the Bible is not debatable. The scriptures are clear. Robert Gagnon, author of The Bible and Homosexual Practice, notes that Christianity has always taught that marriage involves a man and a woman and that homosexuality is prohibited in the Bible because it is unnatural and sinful. In this regard, it is interesting to note that a lesbian pastor from the Episcopal Church of Pete Buttigieg has been confirmed as the new head of the National Abortion Federation, the association of “abortion providers.” This is “Christianity Today” for far too many people who claim to be Christians. It’s the spiritual battleground for the next presidential election. Dear Friend of America's Survival,

The Catholic Church, already infected with a gay Mafia and led by a Marxist pope, has lost its institutional credibility. The American people can’t depend on the churches to save our nation -- or the world. Just before Christmas, Pope Francis met with the socialist U.N. chief Secretary-General António Guterres. UN News reported: The UN chief praised the head of the Roman Catholic Church for being “a messenger of humanity” who has spoken out on issues such as the refugee crisis, poverty, inequality and the climate emergency. It said: Pope Francis called for people everywhere to have greater faith in the international community. October 24 is United Nations Day, or as Barbara Marx Hubbard calls it, “Global Oneness Day.” It has also been labeled “Alger Hiss Day,” in recognition of the Soviet spy and State Department official who played a major role in founding the world body. Meanwhile, Pope Francis and the Grand Imam have proposed a World Day of Fraternity to the U.N. Vatican News explains: The message proposes that 4 February be declared World Day of Human Fraternity and asks the United Nations to participate, together with the Holy See and Al-Azhar, in the organization, in the near future, of a World Summit on Human Fraternity. For America's Survival, Cliff Kincaid A Socialist Victory Using Biden’s Face and Bloomberg’s Money
By Cliff Kincaid As President Trump fights off one attack after another, a well-funded left-wing “progressive” movement called “40 million strong” is laying the political groundwork for storming the ballot box in 2020, just as they did in 2018, when they gave Democrats control of the House and paved the way for impeachment. Meanwhile, most Republicans, including those in the media, on Capitol Hill, and even in the Trump campaign, don’t seem to understand what’s coming. The Rush Limbaugh radio show on Wednesday featured a fascinating interview with the clueless House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, who was confident in trying to explain how Trump won the presidency in 2016, lost the House in 2018, but will somehow win the presidency again in 2020.. McCarthy said, “…if you want to know why President Trump will win [in 2020,] there are 8.5 million people who voted for this president in 2016 who did not show up in 2018. Had they showed up -- we know who they are, where they live -- we’d have 28 more seats today. We’d be in the majority by 10.” Limbaugh wasn’t entirely convinced and responded, “…I don’t doubt that’s true, but I have a tough time understanding why. If you vote for Trump in 2016, you’re voting for him for specific reasons…and you know that he’s going to need some help to do it. And you don’t show up two years later to give him some people to help?” McCarthy claimed “They follow him. They don’t follow the party,” and added, “…they will show up for him now.” He insisted, in regard to impeachment, the Democrats are “making a fatal flaw” because “they have intensified the [Republican] base.” He doesn’t understand that impeachment is also an organizing tool of the left. Indeed, House Speaker Pelosi’s reluctance to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate is already the subject of a new left-wing campaign, directed against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, accusing him of rigging the system “in favor of a corrupt and bigoted administration.” They organized this new phase of impeachment, just before Christmas, as part of what Marxists historically call “Permanent Revolution.” It was Barack Hussein’s Obama’s strategy. Same Old Song Conservative media have to be honest with themselves. Bolstered by Sean Hannity of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh on the campaign trail in 2018, it is apparent that Trump was convinced that talking about illegal immigration and the economy would save his House majority and get conservatives out to the polls. Instead, he lost the House and has now been impeached. Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale recently briefed reporters about how the campaign has identified these nearly 8-9 million voters who didn’t vote Republican in 2018 but can be convinced to vote for Trump and the Republicans on November 3, 2020. The key, he said, is contacting these people through social media. At the same time, Parscale claimed that Google has prohibited the Trump campaign from targeting sympathetic voters, and Twitter has banned political advertising completely. He called this censorship a clear case of “voter suppression.” If this is the case, then why hasn’t Trump followed through on his promise to break up the social media companies? The answer may lie in the fact that Trump backer Peter Thiel, a gay libertarian billionaire and member of the board of Facebook, is said to be trying to make sure that Facebook continues to play the role of honest and fair broker of information as the 2020 presidential campaign approaches. So far, Facebook is continuing to run some pro-Trump ads. It’s not known, however, how much influence Thiel actually has on Facebook, and whether the social media’s advertising policy will eventually change to benefit the Democrats. If Facebook bans Trump’s ads, which he used to achieve victory in 2016, the Trump 2020 campaign could be in deep trouble. The New Majority In fact, Republicans are already in deep trouble. While Republicans tell themselves that everything will be fine in 2020, one of the left-wing’s favorite websites, Organizing Upgrade, has outlined the plan to turn 40 million “disengaged non-voters,” including millennials, into voters for “structural change” – socialism. One version of this strategy is sometimes called “Brown is the New White,” since it is based on using illegal aliens from south of the border as the linchpin for the “new majority.” All of this sounds ambitious. But remember that about 100 million eligible voters didn’t vote in 2016. Many of these people are seen as cannon fodder for the revolution, since they are open to voting for candidates promising things like college debt relief, more welfare, cash payments of various kinds, green jobs, jail break legislation, and so on. At the same time, as McCarthy noted in his Rush Limbaugh interview, “Michael Bloomberg gave them [the Democrats] more than $110 million” in 2018. That apparently took the Republicans by surprise. But in 2020, Bloomberg, a billionaire, figures to spend even more, taking away Trump’s so-called “money advantage” in fundraising. It looks like Bloomberg is emerging as the real financial power behind the Democratic Party, in a case of a billionaire financing a political party whose debates feature Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders bashing billionaires. His current spending is on promoting his own campaign. But that can quickly change, as he demonstrated in 2018, when his advertising was used to elect other Democrats. The left-wing Organizing Upgrade website notes that Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, “the two candidates with the most progressive visions,” have already surpassed the party’s centrist standard-bearer, Joe Biden, in terms of polling numbers. This means the socialists are already in control of the party. Even if Biden gets the nomination, the left-wingers say they will work for “maximum unity” behind him, in order to defeat Trump in the general election. The socialists in the U.S. don’t want to follow the lead of the Labor Party in Britain and its loony left nominee, Jeremy Corbyn, who went down to a big defeat. Biden’s “moderate” face will conceal the work of the communists active on the street level, social media will expand censorship of the GOP, and Bloomberg’s money will pound Trump and the Republicans on the national and state levels. It’s a strategy for socialist victory. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usasurvival.org Dear Friend of America's Survival,
As we celebrate the birth of Christ, and contemplate the nature of original sin, it’s worth taking a step back and noting that one of the oldest sins in the book is covetousness. Politically speaking, this means coveting (government confiscation, mostly through higher taxes and debt-financed programs) what other people have. It means reckless spending and going into ruinous debt for illegal and unconstitutional reasons. Karl Marx defined communism as the abolition of private property, through force and violence if necessary. But it can also be accomplished through bribery of the voters. It is something to behold. The tragedy is that so many Americans today see nothing wrong with it. For America's Survival, Cliff Kincaid |
