New York Times, the Lying, Politically Corrupt Rag
The NY Times only survives today because the burrows of NY City are filled with politically-correct people, convinced
of their superiority and completely intransigent and uncompromising in their political attitudes and beliefs. Their mind set is
only exceeded by the emotionality used to defend their erroneous beliefs.
Governor William J. Le Petomane:
"We've gotta protect our phoney baloney jobs, gentlemen!" Blazing Saddles, 1974
The NY Times (NYT), founded in 1851, has managed to continue its existence despite producing sensationalist tranformations of
reality they call news. Every story has facts—Who, What,Where,When, Why (the W's)—but NYT likes to twist the
"Why" element of the story into a political controversy, or NYT modifies all of W's. For example, NYT might say that Communism
is a very productive economic system where carefree people work and live without problems because the authorities have
handled all problems. Everyone has food, clothing, shelter (all necessities of life).
Of course, NYT fails to mention in the example that that's ALL the people have unless you're a party boss who became a boss
by being a killer. NYT fails to mention that more people have been killed under Socialism and Communism than any form of
republican or parlimentary form of government where people have some input to government (even though the influence of
the people may be negligible because of corrupt representatives). Below is a table showing MILLIONS of MURDERS perpetrated
by communists.

Recommendations
I recommend two (2) movies for interested viewers. If Democrat voters (or any voter) want to understand what is wrong with their
party, I recommend a documentary movie that contains a completely corroborated history of the Democrat Party. The documentary's title is:
Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party. The documentary was produced by Dinesh D'Souza who was 'railroaded' by the Obama Administration into a
kangaroo court controlled by a corrupt judge and sentenced to prison for producing another documentary,
2016: Obama's America. All FACTS presented in these documentaries are the historical evidence of the failure of the Democrat Party although the Democrats have many allies that support these Communist/Socialist attempts to destroy
America, and no group of FAKE NEWS companies can deny the FACTS.
Professor Carol Swain, Poli. Sci. & Law, Vanderbilt U. for Prager University
While America has a Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech, it doesn't guarantee an everyday political education. If Americans believe in their freedoms guaranteed by the
Bill of Rights, if Americans believe that Capitalism is the greatest creator of individual wealth the world has ever experienced (historical facts prove this assertion), then Americans
should know the people and organizations who want to destroy America from within. Therefore, the best documentary available that exposes and identifies these enemies who have grown
much stronger since the Russian Revolution is The Enemies Within.
Also near the end of The Enemies Within documentary, the video requests that citizens call their Senators and Representatives (those NOT affiliated with the Muslim
Brotherhood and other subversive Marxist organizations) to support
S. 68: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017 and
H.R. 377: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017.
After watching the video, you will clearly understand why the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to destroy America from within. Many current Representatives and Senators are affiliated with persons
and organizations whose precepts, behavior, and speech are as Marxist as Vladimir Lenin without identifying themselves as Marxist. One of these organizations has infiltrated America like a final
stage cancer. These un-American organizations must be excised like a massive tumor. This is NOT McCarthyism since you will SEE and UNDERSTAND the evidence presented in the video.
"The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history." —George Orwell
Anyone who believes this country is free is an idiot!
The New York Times has stunningly found a way to create fanciful notions of Soviet-style authoritarianism.
It seems communism is back in vogue at The New York Times.
A sad but common issue in the modern West is that progressives have created a fanciful and distorted picture of socialism to make it seem like an intriguing alternative to American-style capitalism.
Ikea socialism�with Sweden as the model�is an
utterly distorted,
but at least understandable, example for leftists to trot out as a demonstration of success.
And it�s even a bit amusing how they try to dance around the fact that
Venezuela�which is utterly collapsing and egregiously abusing human rights�is a socialist country they
praised just
10 years ago.
But The New York Times now has actually found a way to create fanciful notions of
Soviet-style authoritarianism�and
whimsical tales
of its influence in America�in a new section dedicated to the
�Red Century,�
which explores �the history and legacy of communism, 100 years after the Russian Revolution.�
Romanticized Tyranny
While some of the pieces explore the horrors and failures of communist rule,
others delve into topics that would seem funny if the subject matter weren�t so horrifying.
For instance, the Times ran what can aptly be described as a �puff piece� on
Vladimir Lenin, the man who led the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and is linked to the death and murder of
millions of people.
The
article,
titled �Lenin�s Eco-Warriors,� paints the man as some kind of Siberian
John Muir, and incredibly concludes that leaving �landscapes on this planet where humans do not tread� was the Soviet
dictator�s �legacy.�
As absurd as that piece was, the Times managed to outdo itself with another
article
on, no joke, �Why Women Had Better Sex Under Socialism.�
This piece is an idealized account of how life under an absolutist government could be
liberating and possibly a better model for the feminist movement.
The author wrote:
Those comrades� insistence on government intervention may seem
heavy-handed to our postmodern sensibilities, but sometimes necessary social change�which soon comes to be seen as the
natural order of things�needs an emancipation proclamation from above.
The
absurdly romanticized
account of life under tyrannical government explains little of the hopelessness of a system where an individual has no hope
and no future.
These examples certainly weren�t the first, or the worst, instances of the Times
engaging in communist revisionism. One of the most egregious examples of �fake news� in the mid-20th century was
conducted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Walter Duranty in the 1930s.
[Editor's Note: Today's glorification of the socio-economic system of murder
(instead of debate) to achieve power is only possible for at least three reasons: 1) people who experienced the tumultuous 20th Century
—Communist Revolution (1917-18), WWI (1914-18), WWII (1939-45), Cold War (1947-1989)—have either died or are retired/disengaged;
2) education mostly in public schools don't teach objective American History, World History, or Civics. Instead they teach the greatness of socialism and
how to radically destroy your political opponent. Schools are run by Progressives or closet-Socialists. The eventual Socialist Revolution in America will lead
to all citizens being herded like cattle by the authoritative, administrative state, much like today's U.K., France, most of Europe, and the U.S. federal
government's faceless bureacracy. And 3) federal government and unions have destroyed the economically diversified middle class in America creating a
population of low or no income citizens (about 40%) who fall victim to claims of "freebies" by Socialists.
Margaret Thatcher once said that "The trouble with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people�s money."

In the introduction, editor St�phane Courtois states that "Communist regimes... turned mass crime into a full-blown system of government."[4]:2 According to Courtois, the death toll amounts to 94 million.[4]:4 The breakdown of the number of deaths given by Courtois is as follows:
65 million in the People's Republic of China
20 million in the Soviet Union
2 million in Cambodia
2 million in North Korea
1.7 million in Ethiopia
1.5 million in Afghanistan
1 million in the Eastern Bloc
1 million in Vietnam
150,000 in Latin America
10,000 deaths "resulting from actions of the international Communist movement and Communist parties not in power."[4]:4
Courtois writes that Communist regimes are responsible for a greater number of deaths than any other political ideal or movement, including Nazism. The statistics of victims include deaths through executions, man-made hunger, deportations, and forced labor.
Soviet repressions
Repressions and famines occurring in the Soviet Union under the regimes of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin described in the book include:
the execution of tens of thousands of hostages and prisoners
the murder of hundreds of thousands of rebellious workers and peasants from 1918 to 1922
the Russian famine of 1921, which caused the death of 5 million people
the Decossackization, a policy of systematic repression against the Don Cossacks between 1917 and 1933
the murder of tens of thousands in concentration camps in the period between 1918 and 1930
the Great Purge which killed almost 690,000 people
the deportation of 2 million so-called "kulaks" from 1930 to 1932
the death of 4 million Ukrainians (Holodomor) and 2 million others during the famine of 1932 and 1933
the deportations of Poles, Ukrainians, Moldovans and people from the Baltic states from 1939 to 1941 and from 1944 to 1945
the deportation of the Volga Germans in 1941
the deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1943
Operation Lentil in 1944
the deportation of the Ingush in 1944.[4]:9-10[note 2]
12/6/2018 UPDATE: Almost 2 years later after the disastrous, Socialist Obama administration and loss of the
sycophant who thought she was a shoe-in.
[Editor's Note:
Unlike today's Illegal Alien who violates the sovereignty of the USA to come here for free medical treatment, socialist welfare/food stamps, the immigrants who
built the USA into the most powerful economy had fled the oppression of their former homeland to live free and use their skills for their own self-interest to become
wealthy.
By behaving in this capitalist manner, the enterprises they built employed thousands of Americans and increased the wealth of all industrious
people. Most citizens from 1787 until the 1930s educated themselves, acquired skills, and either worked as an employee while saving or started companies to
produce products that made the owner and all people and associate company customers wealthy.
Problems arose when the offspring, i.e., later generations didn't learn the lessens taught by their parents and schools or they didn't have functional parents and
schools. The problem is a matter of perception. Previous immigrants learned American ideals — Individualism, Self-government, Capitalism, Self-reliance —
and applied those ideals to make them a reality in their lives. THIS WAS FREEDOM for a change. The great grandchildren of these immigrants began looking for an easier way.
It is said that NOTHING IS FREE IN LIFE, but Socialists taught people to proselytize others and force them to agree with the Socialist scheme. Generally, the scheme
means that you can get a FREE LUNCH if you whine enough about how hard life is for you. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs", a Karl Marx
slogan, is the Socialist mantra. What happens to the economy? It loses those with ability unless those with ability are awarded incentives to remain or they are "true believers". Former capitalist
companies now work to support the government and pay for the low-life malingerers who won't work or fail to acquire new skills. Does this remind you of America today?

Fake News
Duranty, who was the Times� Moscow bureau chief, wrote a series of glowing pieces
about the USSR�s policies under General Secretary Josef Stalin in 1931.
While millions of people were starving in Ukraine, Duranty reported back that things
were going swimmingly under the communist regime despite a few bumps in the road.
�Enemies and foreign critics can say what they please,� Duranty wrote. �Weaklings
and despondents at home may groan under the burden, but the youth and strength of the Russian people is essentially at one
with the Kremlin�s program, believes it worthwhile and supports it, however hard be the sledding.�
He attacked reports that portrayed the Soviet policies in a negative light as
�malignant propaganda.�
Though the total number of deaths due to forced starvation in the Holodomor is
unknown, estimates are generally around 3 million from 1932 to 1933.
Despite his blatant misreporting, Duranty was
never stripped of his Pulitzer
and has still been listed on the Times� honor roll.
It would be good on The New York Times if it ran a piece about Duranty�s egregious
reporting and disinformation campaign that gave Americans a distorted picture of communist reality, but, alas, that hasn�t
happened amid the various fables about socialist �successes.�
It may seem easy to dismiss The New York Times accounts as eyerolling fantasies of
the left trying to defend a broken ideology, but the danger of this historical revisionism is real.
Dangerous Historical Fantasy
A
worrying study sponsored by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation found that millennials are generally clueless
about communism.
�Just 37 percent of millennials had a �very unfavorable� view of communism, compared
to 57 percent of Americans overall,�
according to a Daily Signal report.
Perhaps even worse, a full third of millennials say they think that more people were
killed under former President George W. Bush than under Stalin.
What People Say and Believe is not Necessarily Factual
Historical ignorance of communism�s crimes is ultimately dangerous.
As The New York Times joins with others to peddle a warped image of what
communism is really about, generations that have never witnessed its horror may be lulled into buying the clich�d line that
�real communism has never been tried.�
As historian Sean McMeekin wrote in his book,
�The Russian Revolution,�
after communism�s �century of well-catalogued disasters � no one should have the excuse of ignorance.�
Communist revival is growing in Western countries even as it is nearly extinct in
places it was tried. This is folly fueled by historical blindness.
�Today�s Western socialists, dreaming of a world where private property and
inequality are outlawed, where rational economic development is planned by far-seeing intellectuals, should be careful what
they wish for,� McMeekin wrote. �They may just get it.�
A new Congress has been seated, and it brings the prospect of perhaps, maybe, potentially, in a possible way doing something about the runaway federal deficits. And in other news, several New York area bridges are for sale, which you can acquire at a bargain price.

Joseph Story, Supreme Court Justice ... when the court wasn't part of the L-E-J Cabal
Joseph Story (1779�1845) was born during the American Revolution, and came of age in the early years of the new United States of America. He was a scholar of the U.S. Constitution, and, eventually helped found the Harvard Law School.
In 1811, Story was appointed to the Supreme Court by President James Madison — who knew a few things about the U.S. Constitution, in that he helped write it. Story was a contemporary of another famous member of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Marshall (1755�1835).
"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."

[Editor's Note: what I have dubbed the "Legislative-Executive-Judicial Cabal" which the American People have caused by ignoring the generational transition from our Constitutional Republic to what now is, in effect, an "elected" dictatorship. Never mind who is elected. Never mind which bogus party is in power. The superficial, theatrically staged, choreographed appearance of debate, disagreement, and stalled legislation always resolves into more government and less FREEDOM. We the People still lose more freedom after every "emergency" or unnoticeably when CON-gress passes another general, open-ended law that enables the Executive (dictator) and its unaccountable agencies to formulate more freedom-restricting regulations (200 pages a day get posted to the Federal Register). The "Dictator's" agencies (police force) continue to pile-up more weapons to squelch uprising(s) when the People finally realize and understand their tyrannical government.
Currently, CONgress is just a group of socialists, progressives, and faux-conservatives (career politicians) that, on a daily basis, ignores the Constitution, many of their own past statutes, and cedes their responsibilities to the president ("elected" dictator). A comparison to the history of Rome becomes more and more credible with the Executive and its "featherbedded" lackeys gaining more power while CONgress sits back all fat-dumb-and-happy.
CONgress has made recent efforts to expose State Dept. failures in Benghazi (inept political leader), Fast-and-Furious gun-running (criminal AG), IRS 1st amendment violations, gov't union Veterans Administration fraud, and whining about Obama(Reid)-killer-Care, but these efforts are mostly politics as usual. Most "citizens" will forget about these infringements from our unaccountable, uncontrollable Executive branch with its tyrannical agencies staffed by socialist unions that extort "juicy" contracts from the "elected" dictatorship.
Most positions in the federal government whether elected, appointed, or hired are nominal, make-work jobs (confidentially) designed merely to grow government, bilk money from private businesses and citizens, and eventually fully transform America into a totalitarian state. When this happens, CONgress will have destroyed the economy and the country by their negligence and counter-liberty policies, and it will be almost impossible to Restore America. The 'Restore America' list is only a beginning too.]
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
James Madison, Federalist Paper 47, Friday, February 1, 1788

[Editor's Note: a Constitutional Convention is required to reverse the damage to freedom and liberty since 1900. This Article V was ratified by the participants at America's founding Constitutional Convention as an alternate path for repairing damage to freedom and liberty, a path for the People to restore damage caused by our failed representatives in the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of a government designed to represent the wishes of We the People.
The States must "demand" a Convention and explicitly specify an agenda of:
laws to be repealed or modified,
Amendments to existing constitutional clauses that define the co-equal branches to further specify and define, and
new Amendments or statutes to be eventually ratified by States.
These Amendments should further specify and clarify the powers of the Legislature and Executive Branches. A good example is the definition of a "Bill".
A Bill should contain ONLY verbiage in regards to the topic of the future law. NO earmarks and NO unrelated sections or attacments.
Many past Bills sent to a president for signature contained unrelated but essential funding sections that rendered the Bill veto-proof when it warranted a veto.
CON-gress can override a veto if the Bill is deemed absolutely necessary by CON-gress.
If the Bill requires SPECIFICALLY related amendments, the CON-gress can "debate" (with its usual theater) and vote any new amendments.
The original text of the Constitution contains some very GENERAL clauses enabling both CON-gress and Executive branches to write laws and
regulations with their particular nuances expanding powers beyond intent. "Intent" may be gleaned from a complete understanding of
Federalist Papers.
An example of further specification and clarity for CON-gress should be a clear, very specific definition of the boundaries for the interstate Commerce Clause.
To restore freedom, liberty, and individuality - minimally these must be repealed:
Currently, even with computer-searching systems, the list of antiquated and/or obsolete statutes (and related regulations) is unwieldy.
These statutes must be invalidated unless there remains an applicable reason for retaining the law(s).
Aside from invalidating statutes, there are many regulations that are biased in favor of large enterprises (who buy support from bureaucrats)
at the expense of the competition, effectively repressing the Free Market. Any regulations not related to public safety that gives a financial advantage
to some companies over their smaller rivals must be rescinded to enable all companies with good consumer products to excel without burdensome regulations.
Additionally, the Convention should adopt for ratification at least these new Amendments or statute modifications:
clearly define and limit the role of government in regards to the term "general welfare",
Term Limits for CON-gress (12 years) including a 6 month limit on time residing in DC,
strict Prohibition of Lobbying (with a comprehensive definition of "lobbying"), and
a Balanced Budget Amendment to stop wreckless spending. During a CON-gressionally declared "war" (only after USA is attacked or attack is proven "imminent"),
deficit spending is permissible.
Restore America to its roots, i.e. Defense, State, Treasury, and Justice. Some Agencies are required like CIA and NSA, both respectively focused on defense against real foreign aggressors and not fictitious paranoid delusions of war mongers. Other agencies help where certain interstate communications are necessary. Most agencies like Agriculture, Education, DEA, IRS (eliminated with 16th Amendment) and many other listed here should be eliminated.
Restore the world Gold Standard with five contentious steps, and
Replace the IMF, World Bank, and Export-Import Bank with facilities that reflect the new Gold Standard, and
After decentralizing and economizing, if tax revenue is needed to fund all or part of the federal government, then implement the Fair Tax.
Regarding a Constitutional Convention itself, some of the available literature warns the reader about a possible "unstructured" and "mismanaged"
Convention that might propose and adopt amendments that could damage the Republic.
Possible, however, it is difficult to envisage how much more damage could done over what the L-E-J Cabal has already done.
If the Convention's agenda and rules of order strictly prohibit violation of the rules and enable a vote on unlisted Amendments AFTER all others are adopted,
then the Convention will be properly structured and managed. ]
John Adams said, �Without [term limits] every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey�. That being said, here are some of the reasons we believe our country needs Term Limits.
Term Limits can help break the cycle of corruption in Congress. Case studies show that the longer an individual stays in office, the more likely they are to stop serving the public and begin serving their own interests.
Term Limits will encourage regular citizens to run for office. Presently, there is a 94% re-election rate in the House and 83% in the Senate. Because of name recognition, and usually the advantage of money, it can be easy to stay in office. Without legitimate competition, what is the incentive for a member of Congress to serve the public? Furthermore, it is almost a lost cause for the average citizen to try to campaign against current members of Congress.
Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
Term Limits will force politicians to think about the impact of their legislation because they will be returning to their communities shortly to live under the laws they enacted.
Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.
[Editor's Note: If you want to get rich, i.e. advance from a low paying government bureaucrat job on the local or state level, THEN GET ELECTED TO THE US CONGRESS (House or Senate). Once you're elected, it's easy to steal from your campaign contributions or the Congressional budget allocated to your seat and staff. You can go on a government-funded junket with 'lavishly' paid expenses. The list of ways to steal from the government while in office is inexhaustible. There are only a few Congressmen who left Congress just wealthy instead of a multi-millionaire. Of course, there are several who arrived in Congress as multi-millionaires and don't need to steal from the government.]
CONVENTION of STATES (CoS)
CONVENTION of STATES
BECOME a MEMBER-PARTICIPANT of CONVENTION of STATES here.
Get into the Action; Get information. Join here.
The CONgress (by
Article V of the Constitution) has proposed and
States have ratified many new amendments to the Constitution, some that increase their power over us citizens. CONgress can propose amendments, and the
alternative method to CONgressional proposals can come from States via
Article V. When "We the People" — meaning
a very large majority — are opposed to Acts of CONgress like the INCOME TAX or ENDLESS WARS or the FEDERAL RESERVE, Acts that restrict and regulate our
LIBERTY, Acts that are a waste of money, Acts that have caused unrecoverable indebtedness, then through local representaatives of our States WE can propose
Amendments to be ratified by States just like CONgress.
STATES and the PEOPLE of America are very angry at the federal goverment's violation of its
constitutionally-defined boundaries. States created the federal government in 1787 with LIMITED powers defined in the Constitution. All powers not
given by States to the feds remain with the States by Article X. The feds have through deceit, distortion, and falsification rearranged the entire contractual agreement
between States and the federal government. The feds have become a very powerful, all consuming force in American government. The time has come for States to rein in the federal government,
to take power back, to limit the federal government's power, and to add some detailed restriction to the definition of CONgress, the Executive, and the Judiciary.
In 1787 a central government was (is) necessary only to provide for the common defense and ensure equality
under the law for all Citizens, to provide a final arbiter for the resolution of unsolvable problems among States and People. Most laws and regulations that the federal
government has wreaked on the States and the People are unconstitutional. States are independent, sovereign countries who realized the need for a limited and defined
central government to prevent wasteful duplication of effort. The federal government, in 2017, is OUT OF CONTROL, infringing and interfering with State sovereignty and their
separate economies. A problem arose in 2012 with Arizona's attempt to secure their border with Mexico. An article is
here. States can prevent infringements
by the federal government with an Aricle V Convention of States to not only reverse past federal government "power grabs" but prevent future federal government
violations of their Constitutionally-defined boundaries.
A new, well-organized group of volunteers in all 50 states have gathered to restore America to
its roots by limiting all 3 branches of the federal government with a
Convention of States (CoS) organization (alternate site,
CoS Action). This is a Convention of States to AMEND the Constitution — NOT rewrite it!
Recently, CoS held an Article V, Convention
simulation with appointed volunteers from all 50 States. The simulated Convention demonstrated how a well-organized CoS can vote for proposed amendments
to the Consitution that are popular enough to be ratified by the necessary 3/4ths of States (38). Obviously, only proposed Amendments that are likely to pass
both Houses of the legislatures of thirty-eight (38) States, that is, the required 3/4ths of States to ratify an Amendment to the Constitution should be proposed.
See the Final Report here.
The purpose in a Convention of States, simulated or real, is to PROPOSE AMENDMENTS that give power back to the People. The proposed amendments must reflect the
thinking, objectives — the goals of people of States — who want to restore our Constitutional Republic to one that represents the people.
ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!
ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!
ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!
A real CoS, requires that 2/3rds of States (34) send an "application" to CONgress requesting that
CONgress schedule a CoS. State Legislatures are composed of an Assembly and Senate. Each "house" must pass a bill separately and send the resolution to their
Governor. Then the State sends an "application" to the CONgress. When the federal CONgress receives applications from 34 States, the CONgress is required to set a date for
the Convention of States. CONgress is NOT involved otherwise. The States have the Convention, propose amendments, and dispatch the precisely worded amendments to
their respectives assemblies and senates for ratification. CONgress only schedules the Convention.
