"A nation can survive its fools, and even the
ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the
gates is less formidable, for he is known, and he carries his banners
openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly
whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very hall of
government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor. He speaks in the
accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their
garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in hearts of men.
He rots the soul of a nation. He works secretly and unknown in the night
to undermine the pillars of a city. He infects the body politic so that it
can no longer resist. A Murderer Is Less To Be Feared." Cicero, 42 B.C.
The only difference between communism and socialism is its method of
imposition. Communism is forced upon the people against their will.
Socialism on the other hand is entered into voluntarily by the majority of
voters.
Even though the goals are the same, socialism is much more dangerous because
it gradually enslaves the people without the use of visible force, while
artfully disguising its evil motives with a variety of so-called noble
causes.
The evils of socialism and humanism cannot survive exposure unless "good men
and women do nothing". The following is offered in hopes that you will join
our efforts to expose those evils. Your comments are WELCOME!

In 1848, Carl Marx, at the age of 30, entered
a competition sponsored by the International Socialist Union of Paris, France.
His submission was the 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto, which won.
The rest, as they say, is history.
-
Abolition of property in land and application of
all rents of land to public purposes. Property tax paid annually
prevents the outright ownership of property, because if property can be
confiscated for taxes owed, it can never truly be owned. The application of
our rents of land (property taxes) are used for public purposes as
envisioned by Karl Marx.
A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
The income tax was imposed upon the people briefly after the War Between The
Southern States and The dictatorial Federal Government. In 1895, The US
Supreme Court abolished it with the words, "The income tax is indeed a
direct tax and therefore unconstitutional". The Court understood that,
"No capitation, or other direct Tax shall be laid,..." Art. 1, Sec.
9, of the US Constitution, means exactly what it says. However, in 1913
there were enough socialist in Congress to again foist the income tax upon
the people with the 16th Amendment to the Constitution. The income tax is
not designed just to raise taxes, which could be accomplished very easily
with a national sales tax. Instead, its goal is to punish achievement,
invade privacy, and control the people through fear and intimidation from
the most Gestapo-like arm of our government, the IRS.
Abolition of all right of inheritance.
Our inheritance tax puts all rights of inheritance in jeopardy. Property
tax, income tax, and inheritance tax, should be abolished because they are
all direct taxes and they all violate our God-given property rights. They
could be replaced with indirect taxes like sales tax, tobacco tax, alcohol
tax, or gasoline tax. Some advantages of indirect taxes are:
- They are indeed Constitutional.
- Our privacy would be protected.
- Everyone who spends money participates including the super-wealthy,
foreign visitors, illegal aliens, drug dealers, and others now in the
underground economy.
- It is a pay as you go system - no April 15th.
- The IRS and all associated collection cost would be eliminated.
- Lower production cost will allow business to compete internationally.
- Prices would come down more than enough to cover the sales tax
increase.
- Business would expand creating new jobs.
- The money now in off-shore tax-havens would flood back into this
country stimulating the economy.
- Manufacturing would come back home absent the over-taxation and
over-regulation that drove them to foreign countries.
Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and
rebels. Our government does not normally confiscate property of
emigrants, however, many laws and regulations have been passed in recent
years which allow many government agencies such as the IRS., OSHA.,
EPA., BLM., and drug enforcement agencies to confiscate property from
citizens that are considered rebels. Much of this confiscation is achieved
without due process of law.
Centralization of credit in the hands of the State,
by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
The Federal Reserve System was created in 1913. It is not federally owned
and nothing is in reserve. It is a private corporation with the power
to increase or decrease the money supply by changing the interest rates and
the reserve requirements of its member banks. It can create money out of
thin air, lend it to the government and then collect the principal and
interest from the taxpayers. That is why its owners always have and always
will promote war and socialism to create inextinguishable government debt.
"Permit me to control the currency of a nation
and I care not who makes its laws." -Baron De Rothschild, brainchild
of the Federal Reserve Bank.
"If the American people ever allow private
banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by
deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will
deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up
homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." -Thomas Jefferson
Centralization of the means of communication and
transport in the hands of the State. Communication and
transportation are controlled by a number of government agencies, e.g., The
Federal Communication Commission (FCC), The Dept. of Transportation (DOT),
The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). Public Television is also a good example of state
control of communication for the indoctrination of the concepts of socialism
and humanism.
Extension of factories and instruments of
production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands,
and the improvements of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
Dan Smoot's book, "The Business End of Government" revealed that, the
federal government owned 1165 different businesses like AMTRAC. The Bureau
of land Management, The Department of Agriculture, The Department of
Commerce, The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), etc., all promote a
common plan of more and more regulation and control from government with
less and less freedom enjoyed by the people.
Equal liability of all to labor and the
establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Heavy taxation, over-regulation, and other economic problems caused by our
government's adoption of socialism has forced women to labor equally with
men. Our industrial army is the Social Security System which requires
membership at birth.
Combination of agriculture with manufacturing
industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by
a more equitable distribution of population over the country. We
are not living under this plank totally. However, we do have many large
agriculture corporations who have combined all levels of production from the
farm to the consumer. It appears that the goal of this plank is to reduce
the number of family farms making it easier to gain control of all food and
fiber production. This goal is fast becoming reality.
Free education for all children in public
schools.... Communist and socialist have long recognized the
value of indoctrination through a free educational system. And, it has
produced a people with no understanding of the vast differences between the
Free Enterprise System and socialism. During our Bicentennial celebrations
(1986), a national poll of school children revealed that 46% of them
believed that "From him with the most ability - to him with the most need"
was part of our Constitution. Today all socialist, all liberals and most
democrats believe the same thing.
Would it surprise you to learn that "The Democratic Socialist of America"
are alive and well in the U.S.A.. Its "Progressive Caucus" list 58 members
from the U.S. House of Representatives. All are democrats except their
chairman, Benard Sanders, who ran on the socialist party ticket. You can find
the list at: Democratic
Socialist of America
"Thus it is easy to understand how law, instead
of checking injustice, becomes the invincible weapon of injustice. It is
easy to understand why the law is used by the legislator to destroy in
varying degrees among the rest of the people, their personal independence by
slavery, their liberty by oppression, and their property by plunder. This is
done for the benefit of the person who makes the law, and in proportion to
the power that he holds." Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850).
