“The goal of socialism is communism.” — Vladimir Lenin
If there’s one thing we know about Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, it’s that he loves breadlines… and Communists.
While Sanders didn’t quite make it during the 2016 election — arguably because he was robbed of his nomination by the Clinton campaign — Americans who believe in Constitutional rule of law, liberty and everything that makes this country great better wake up, because Sanders raised over $5 million within 24 hours of announcing his candidacy, suggesting that a massive segment of the U.S. population is supportive of what he stands for.
Well, they may think they know what Sanders stands for… The problem, of course, is that hardcore leftists reside in an echo chamber which has, through harassment and violence, shielded itself from any ideas or arguments that sit outside their very close knit, media supported narratives.
As an example, consider the following 1985 interview from Bernie Sanders.
During his State of the Union address President Trump warned Americans of the looming threat of socialism, much to the approval of the right and much to the dismay of the left.
What most forgot to mention is that Bernie isn’t your average everyday American socialist. He’s a straight-up Commie and loves the idea of Communism.
Watch him swoon over Communist leaders in this 1985 video:…
As a final note, we must mention that the next election will see a media narrative that paints socialism as “a good thing,” just as Bernie Sanders noted in the video above.
They’ll refuse to call it communism, arguing that the two political and economic systems are completely different.
When they do that, be sure to remember this quote from none other than Vladimir Lenin himself, who was very much a supporter of bread lines, wealth redistribution and the disappearing of political opponents (including their families).
“The goal of socialism is communism.”— Vladimir Lenin
Never forget: socialism is just communism-lite.

Either America Will Live in Liberty or Die in Socialist Despair
Like most dictators of ill repute, Mr. Khrushchev had a long term vision in mind when he belted out his famous threat to bury the United States. The Russians knew that battling the United States militarily would be futile. But they also understood the importance of both infiltration of the United States education system and government the United States could be easily collapsed from within. They knew that many educated idiot graduates from American universities would filter into numerous positions of influence in American politics and government school indoctrination. As a result, the American unraveling was put in motion.
The third rail of collapsing the United States from within was the elimination of solid high moral teaching and practice both in the home and in public society. The Soviets and leftists in general understood that the success of United Stated States relied heavily on the moral state of her people. For example, a citizenry of high moral character does not need nor should tolerate an overbearing, unalienable rights inhibiting centralized government. Unfortunately, far too many Americans are not adequately equipped to even care about the current plight of inner destruction and collapse being orchestrated by those who want to control us from cradle to grave…
In the 1950s Senator Joseph McCarthy warned America and begged her to clean out the government infiltrators, most of whom were of the communist persuasion. Of course, similar to people in our time, he was labeled as racist a red baiter, and just too extreme. But anyone with a smidgen of intelligence and objectivity will admit that our government is and has been chock full of enemies from within for decades.

ISIS Bride Hoda Muthana’s Family Files Lawsuit Against Trump
The father of a woman who traveled from her home in Alabama to marry an Islamic State fighter filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration as part of an effort to get her and his 18-month-old grandson returned to the United States.
Lawyers acting for Ahmed Ali Muthana, a former diplomat at the United Nations for Yemen who is a naturalized U.S. citizen and lives in Alabama, argue in the lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington D.C. late Thursday that remarks by Trump and other senior White House officials claiming that Hoda Muthana, 24, is no longer a U.S. citizen — thus barring her and her son from re-entering the USA — are unconstitutional.

MSNBC Analyst: ‘Anti-American’ To Deny U.S. Re-Entry to ISIS Terrorist
“If she’s willing to come back and face whatever consequences she faces for being a part of a terrorist organization that’s declared war on the United States, that’s perfectly fine.”
Appearing on MSNBC Live With Stephanie Ruhle Friday morning, analyst Jason Johnson, Politics Editor for The Root, blasted the Trump administration for refusing to allow ISIS terrorist Hoda Muthana from returning to the U.S. after she left to join the violent death cult. The left-wing contributor even argued it was “anti-American” to deny her re-entry to the nation she declared war against.
After a clip ran of an exclusive NBC News interview with Muthana, Ruhle turned to her panel of guests for reaction. Real Clear Politics Associate Editor A.B. Stoddard agreed with the Trump administration: “This country is a gift and I think she’s relinquished her privilege and I’m kind of in agreement with the President that she, you know, may not be allowed — shouldn’t be allowed to come back here.”
Moments later, Johnson chimed in to complain: “There are white domestic terrorists who get radicalized online all the time in America who are out shooting people, threatening to kill people….And we’re not deporting them. They’re allowed to be here.” He argued that Muthana was “an American citizen” and that any attempt to block her return was somehow antithetical to American values:

The Democratic Party: A History of Anarchy, Part 3
The collaboration between socialists, trade unions and the Democratic Party started slowly during the late 1800’s as several banking crisis caused businesses to close across the nation. Because of the recent emancipation of the slaves and continuous immigration from Europe and China, there was severe competition for jobs. This resulted in lower wages for white workers as other races were willing to do the same job for lower pay. This caused white laborers to join with socialists and anarchists to form labor unions. The goals of the unions were varied but the most common was higher wages and better working conditions. To do this, they would embrace violence to terrorize foreign workers and intimidate US companies. Over the next several decades, union violence would claim the lives of thousands and destroy millions of dollars of private property…
Beatings, shootings, mob violence and lynchings soon took a back seat as anarchists/socialists introduced a new gruesome weapon in what the New York Times labeled as the “dispensation of dynamite.” There had been bombings prior to the Chicago union strike of 1886, but the Haymarket Square bombing shocked the nation when seven police officers were killed by an unknown assailant throwing dynamite at them. In the aftermath that followed eight anarchists were brought to trial for murder. When in the course of the trials it was determined that none of the defendants had actually thrown the bomb, the police changed the charge to “conspiracy to murder” because in the words of prosecuting attorney Francis Walker: “the eight defendants were part of a vast labor conspiracy to launch a revolution—a conspiracy that cost the lives of dedicated public servants such as patrolman Mathias Degan.” Before the bombing had taken place, one of the defendants, August Spies, had joked with a reporter by saying; “take it to your boss and tell him we have 9,000 more like it,” as he tossed him a casing for a bomb. The democratic Mayor, Harrison Carter, had befriended and defended the socialists and anarchists before and during the trial.
The results of the trial were that seven of the eight were condemned to be hung while the eighth was given a fifteen year prison sentence. When four of the defendants were hung, there was a nationwide outcry, resulting in the remaining three being pardoned after serving six years in prison. Haymarket would turn the defendants into martyrs and become a rallying point for the Weather Underground in 1969 to start another terrorist war on America.

The Five Top Arguments Against Climate Alarmism
1. Climate alarmism is based mainly around fear of extreme weather. This concept is deeply rooted in human nature, and has its roots in ancient stories of giant floods, famines and plagues — caused (of course) by man’s sins. Climate alarmists are tapping into that primal fear, and pushing the same idea of extreme weather and floods caused by mankind’s carbon sins. …
5. The most important argument against climate alarmism is that the proposed solutions are unworkable, dangerous and useless. They were made without consulting engineers, and have zero chance of success. A robust discussion about our energy future is needed, but that discussion is censored in favor of propaganda. …
We need to have a serious discussion about our energy future, but news agencies like the New York Times and the LA Times have an openly stated policy of censoring anyone with a dissenting opinion. This is dangerous, un-American and threatens our survival. Climate change is not an imminent threat, but the proposed solutions are.
If there was an actual climate crisis, it would be obvious. Alarmists wouldn’t have to hide and tamper with data.

University of Colorado Denver Poly Sci Student Confronts TPUSA: Communism is ‘The Future’
A leftist claiming to be a political science major told conservative student members of TPUSA at the University of Colorado Denver on Wednesday that “communism is the future” and that the conservative students were “fascists” who will one day be “put in re-education camps.”
A leftist student told Turning Point USA (TPUSA) members on the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver) campus on Wednesday that “communism if the future.”
The student then repeatedly accused the conservatives of being “fascists,” adding that they will one day be “put in re-education camps.” Metropolitan State University of Denver TPUSA chapter vice president Evan Underwood, who was present, filmed the confrontation…
Underwood added that he had noticed a red rose on the communist student’s backpack, which appeared to be the image representing the official logo for the “Democratic Socialists of America” group, in which Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a member.

Recently, with major elections soon taking place, the B’nai Brith of Canada, the sister organization of American “hate-watch” group the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), launched a defamatory broadside against the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), that nation’s brand-new populist alternative to the more establishment-friendly Conservative Party of Canada.
Based on blog posts written nearly 20 years ago, B’nai Brith, a pro-Israel but otherwise far-left organization, accused top PPC adviser Martin Masse of being everything from a “racist” and a “sexist” to a “homophobe” and “anti-Semite.”
Instead of yielding to pressure, Masse and the PPC fired back, claiming that the attack was completely meritless and that the Conservatives were actually likely involved. In a tough election year against Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, and with outspoken PPC founder Maxime “Mad Max” Bernier increasingly scoring points against (as he calls them) the “intellectually corrupt” Conservatives, even in Canada’s otherwise ultra-polite political arena, the Conservatives’ involvement looks highly believable.

Top 5 Ways Antifa’s Protest at United We Roll Rally in Ottawa Made No Sense
It was wondrous to witness that pro-pipeline convoy roll into Ottawa, but alas, like ants drawn to an open jam jar, the lunatic fringe known as Antifa showed up to protest a group of Westerners advocating for pipelines, progress, and prosperity.
Apparently, being pro-oil sands makes one racist, xenophobic and even Islamophobic, perhaps because developing Canada’s homegrown product could hurt the sales of Saudi oil.
It’s hard not to feel sorry for the always clueless Antifa rank and file though.
By word and action in their recent performance in Ottawa, these losers proved once again that they exist as a perverse contradiction to common sense.

Delingpole: The Five Best Arguments Against Climate Alarmism
Tony Heller, aka Steven Goddard of the Deplorable Climate Science Blog, has compiled a must-read list of the five top arguments against climate alarmism.
I think he has done a great job. The five arguments, which I’ll rephrase slightly, are as follows:
Climate alarmism is just a modern version of man’s primal superstitions about cataclysmic natural events. But these fears are baseless for there is no legitimate evidence to show that “extreme weather is increasing or sea level rise is accelerating.”
Climate alarmism is a form of Groupthink — or, as Heller puts it, the Emperor’s New Clothes. This Groupthink requires ignoring the evidence and instead deferring to the opinions of a very small body of parti pris “experts”.
If the case for the “global warming” were as strong as these experts say, the debate would be over by now. Instead, all of their “apocalyptic predictions” have failed miserably. What reason do we have to believe them after all this time?
Climate alarmism is entirely dependent on graphs and computer models which rely on cherry-picked or corrupt data. Few if any of these models have come close to forecasting real world outcomes.
The proposed solutions to “climate change” are “unworkable, dangerous and useless.”
In my view the last argument is the clincher. It’s the one that ought to unite all of us, sceptics and true believers alike. After all, even those who fully subscribe to the theory that climate change is dangerous, unprecedented and man-made ought surely to agree that there’s no point chucking money at the problem if it’s going to do more harm than good.
Yet this is exactly what is happening.

Italy: De Magistris Announces Referendum on Naples Autonomy
First citizen proposes ‘differentiated autonomy’ for all south
(ANSA) — Naples, February 18 — Naples Mayor Luigi de Magistris said Monday that a referendum will be held to vote on whether the southern city should have more autonomy. “By the end of the year we’ll have a referendum for the total autonomy of the city of Naples,” de Magistris said via Facebook.
“In this way we’ll have more economic resources, fewer financial limitations, more wealth, more development, less inequality. “Successively we’ll try to have a referendum for the differentiated autonomy of the whole of the south of Italy, if the other peoples of the south want it”. Vincenzo De Luca, the governor of Campania, the region Naples belongs to, on Friday wrote to Premier Giuseppe Conte to request autonomy for the southern region after applications from the northern regions of Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna.
Conte’s government is examining legislation for greater autonomy for those three regions.
Deputy Premier, Interior Minister and League leader Matteo Salvini is said to be ready to support the three regions’ bids for greater autonomy in the cabinet, but his coalition partners in the 5-Star Movement (M5S) are reportedly concerned about the danger this would create “top flight and second-tier citizens”.
Autonomy Minister Erika Stefani, a League member, said the M5S should drop its reservations.
“Autonomy is in the contract of government and it necessary to be coherent,” Stefani said.
“If there is an agreement (for autonomy) signed by the premier, how can it be possible to amend it and force one of the parties to change the contract?”.

Warning!
Some Of The Imagery Below, Though Cartoonish In Nature, Is Obscene And Violent
A giant mural painting on the floor below Paris’ iconic Eiffel Tower was completed in September of 2016 by a Los Angeles-based artist named Cleon Peterson. The bizarre “work of art” is titled, “Endless Sleep” — an obvious reference to the coming “endless sleep” of the White Race. There is really no need for us to interpret the meaning of Peterson’s obscenity. To all but the most brain-dead libtard, the massive 500 square-meter image, best viewed from the top of the Eiffel Tower while looking straight down, speaks for itself.
Have a look:
Should there be any remaining doubt as to what the Eiffel Tower floor mural truly symbolizes, a review of the self-loathing artist’s earlier works — depicting what he refers to as “the hedonistic triumphs of those who recognize themselves as victorious in the unfolding mirror of history” — clearly confirms what Peterson and the Rothschilds are dreaming about. Be forewarned, these images are obscene and unsettling.
Peterson, an “ex” heroine addict, tweeted out his gratitude to French banking couple Benjamin and Ariane de Rothschild. We suspect (though we have no solid evidence to present) that the “gratitude” is related to Peterson (with 10 helpers) having been commissioned to paint the disgusting White Genocide mural.
Before hooking up with the Rothschilds and painting Paris, Peterson was known for churning out scenes of torture, rape and mass murder of White people at the hands of Blacks — — a perfect hireling for the Rothschilds!

Changes to Darwin’s Climate History Are Not Logical
THE hubris of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology is on full display with its most recent remodelling of the historic temperature record for Darwin. The Bureau has further dramatically increased the rate of global warming at Darwin by further artificially lowering historic temperatures. …
For example, on 1st January 1910 the maximum temperature recorded at the Darwin post office was 34.2 degrees Celsius.
A few years ago, the Bureau changed this to 33.8 degrees Celsius, cooling the recorded temperature by 0.4 degrees. In its most recent re-revision of Darwin’s climate history the temperature on this day has been further reduced, and is now just 32.8. …
In the maximum temperature record as actually measured at Darwin from 1895 to the present — and taking into consideration the move from the airport to the post office — there is no warming trend in the Darwin temperature record. This is consistent with other locations in northern Australia with long high-quality records, for example Richmond in north western Queensland.

10 Scary Facts Indicating South Africa is Becoming the Next Venezuela
It has been a quarter-century since South Africans of all colors and creeds lined up with each other to patiently wait their turn to vote for their first government that was not dependent on brutal racial engineering.
In 1994 the country was a coiled spring ready to unleash enormous latent economic and human potential. As South West Africa became Namibia and the legal edifices of apartheid were swept away, South Africa suddenly had the opportunities and goodwill that had been denied it for the better part of 30 years.
All that promise is gone. South Africa has squandered its opportunities and is on the path to becoming a failed state. These are the top ten reasons, in no particular order, why South Africa is becoming the next Venezuela.

Abortion and the Catholic Surrender to Politics
The Church’s gradual withdrawal from public engagement over the abortion issue was widespread. Since the mid-’80s, Catholics rarely hear the word “abortion” in a Sunday homily. Clerics at the parish level appear to have been silenced on the subject. With the removal of the Church’s “braking influence,” politicians of every faith were encouraged to aggressively propose and pass pro-abortion legislation, including legislation to remove interferences that might discourage pregnant women from choosing an abortion, such as parental consent, restrictions on how pro-life advocates may demonstrate at abortion facilities, reduced medical safety standards at clinics, and reduced training standards for those assisting with abortion procedures.

Donald Trump Administration: Abortion is Not Family Planning
“Healthcare dollars should fund real, full-service medical care, not abortion vendors.”
The Trump administration issued a final rule Friday that underscores that federal taxpayer funds provided for family planning services may not be used to support abortion in any way.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the new rule that could block about $60 million in family planning funding to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers who refer girls and women for abortions.
The new regulation, which governs Title X, the federal grant program that provides funding for family planning services, prohibits the use of the funds to “perform, promote, refer for, or support abortion as a method of family planning.”
The rule intends to provide a clear line between abortion and family planning.
“This is the kind of policy change that millennials, the nation’s largest voting bloc, support,” said Student for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins in a statement. “Healthcare dollars should fund real, full-service medical care, not abortion vendors”:

UK: Police Unlawfully Rejected ‘Exceptional’ Recruit for Being Straight White Male, Tribunal Finds
Cheshire Police abused “positive action” legislation to unlawfully discriminate against an “exceptional” candidate for being a straight white male, an employment tribunal has ruled.
Matthew Furlong, 25, applied to Cheshire Police in order to follow in the footsteps of his father, who is a serving detective inspector on the force — but was ultimately turned down for a role, despite being told “it was refreshing to meet someone as well-prepared as yourself” and that he “could not have done any more” after passing the interview stage of the recruitment process, ITV news reports.

Former KGB Agent Yuri Bezmenov Explains Our Four Stages — “The New Normal”…
You’ll never get a clue what’s being done to, and within, this country from the complicit “mainstream” media. But a KGB expert who defected to the good guys was explaining it for us back in the 80s. Yuri Bezmenov tried to warn us:
Stage One: Demoralization — Elimination of American Exceptionalism, fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia. Peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc. National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National history is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.
Stage Two: Crisis — Creation of economic, financial, and national security crisis. Also includes social crisis and breakdown of previous self-evident restrictions on moral behavior. Cloward Piven approach to overloading the system, ie more takers than producers. The crisis produces benevolent leaders who will promise to deliver “things” (Hope and Change) to meet people’s needs through Social and Economic Justice. False illusions that the situation is under control if certain strategic directions are followed (Bailouts, Stimulus, Jobs Bills, Regulations of industry, Unconstitutional Power Grabs, Dismissal of Historical Laws, Changes in legislative processes, Changes in checks and balances of power etc).
Stage Three: Normalization — The uncomfortable feelings of change including losses of freedom are absorbed and accepted. Lost national identity becomes accepted as the norm within the new societal model. A period of national rebranding transition where people are so overwhelmed by the change they become numb and begin to accept a ‘new normal’. This period of normalization lasts indefinitely as the progression is continually advanced and acceptance takes place in small controlled doses. (New limits on behavior, Regulations, TSA Patdowns, Intrusions into privacy, Controls into daily life) These things begin to be accepted as “just the way it is now”.
Stage Four: Destabilization — Unlike the period of “Crisis” the people who helped orchestrate the change are now no longer needed. The new overarching centralized governmental model begins to take control. Leftist usurpers who initially thought they were going to be part of the new power structure begin to realize they were used and manipulated and they themselves become the new enemy. Because they have first hand knowledge of the agenda they are the primary target for elimination. They may simply be disregarded, obfuscated, thrown out, or they may be collected, imprisoned, or worse killed. There is no longer room for dissention. Dissent is only possible within the free system that has now been deconstructed. Therefore the leftist purpose is served once the destabilization is complete. Totalitarian Government takes control…

Twelve members of the Hizb ut-Tahrir terrorist group convicted in Ufa

They received from 11 to 16 years in prison. But they look too happy, as well as those who support them.
All is not good, anxious.
The Volga region, Bashkiria, is a geographical name recently learned by the Norwegians after an attack on a young woman in Oslo.
Yes, amazing what a boon islam has been for increasing knowledge of geography. Kind of similar to islamic claims that they were responsible for the development of science, mathematics, celestial navigation, metallurgy, medical knowledge, etc. It is true in an offhanded way; islamic predations and wars of conquest certainly stimulated the development of all of the above in western lands as a byproduct of the military effort needed to defend and then attempt to retake the christian lands of Europe and the near-east from the islamic hordes.
GoV should do a weekly (or daily) article; call it something like”Islamic Geography Lesson” or similar. Then the rest of us may become enlightened to those unknown regions of the planet that are currently being enriched by contact with the cultural ambassadors of the Religion of Peace.
Yes. I believe the Portuguese and Dutch naval explorations in the 15th/16th cent. was a way to get around the Islamic lands. The overland spice trade was getting too expensive due to the middle muslim men.
As a result Europe prospered. We have lot to thank them for.
Mind you, the alternative may have been a lot better.
Eventually it would lead to the Dutch exchanging their place in the Hudson River Valley, especially New Amsterdam, to the English for some of the Spice Islands.
But the underlying Dutch spirit of commercialism remained as a kind of founding place spirit. You can still see Dutch place names throughout New York, Pennsylvania, etc. It was fortunate for the Jews that they sought asylum in the New World while the Dutch were still in charge of NY. Their ship(s) had been refused entry in all the New England ports and they were running out of time.
yes, and Europe prospered too because all erudition was chased from the former christian Constantinople in 1453 by barbaric invaders.
Re “The goal of socialism is communism”- Lenin.
It was to him; he had an agenda, and I daresay Sanders and others may share a similar one. However there are many democratic socialists who willingly accept the results of elections, even when defeated. Most Europeans understand this; why is it apparently so difficult for Americans?
A Little something I have been passing around.
The Romans tried what we would call socialism in their collapse phase. It didn’t work. In fact it made things worse. Well, worse for the people. Better for the government.
The reason it made things worse was high administrative costs i.e. too much government. That made the producers quit producing. The Romans made producing unprofitable.

even in the early imperial times ,starting with Octavian(Augustus) the number of inhabitants of the city increased due to the renouned ” panem et circenses” policy, the office was called ” cura annonae” – the delivery of cereals – which we would call welfare nowadays. In peak periods, 2/3 of the populace of the city lived on state expenses. Talking about decline.
The late foreign secretary of Germany Westerwelle used to mention this in a speech refering to ” late roman decadence” and was ridiculed by the ignorant right thinking juste milieu.
