Justin Smith shared a post on Facebook Group Social Media Jail Conversations for Conservatives & Counterjihadists (of which Fascistbook has suspended me from posting without reason until 11/20/19) and undoubtedly other Facebook locations on November 12. The post is about Communism overshadowing America in a transformation process. A Marxification (probably a word you won’t find in the dictionary) of American culture and values.
Which brings me to a thought about a question my grandson
asked me on a Social Studies question (6th Grade) from Public School
managed Homeschooling. From memory he asked what kind of government directs a
nation’s economy from top-to-bottom government? I answered, “Communism or
Socialism.” The answer according to the curriculum: A Command Economy. I
thought to myself, “How early does Communist-acceptance brainwashing begin in
school?”

capitulate to Facebook censorship by abandoning the platform, I choose to post

tactic I’ve experienced is a couple of Group shares then jailed under the false
accusation of posting too fast. So I ask those that read this, to combat censorship
by sharing blog and Facebook posts with your friends or Groups you belong to.
I got this message from
Fascistbook (11/13/19):
“You're temporarily restricted

share in your groups especially if you are from Oklahoma. My Conservative voice

Unfortunate, sad and true .... Just as the Good Professor
was taking notes and making his valid assertions, so too were many of Us. I
have spoken of this sad state of affairs and the growing "love
affair" so many in America have with Marx and communism for decades now.
Perhaps many of You too have been cognizant of the fact that a hard element of
communism was infiltrating education and other institutions.
With 60 to 70 percent of the voters in the Millennial
generation -- between ages 18 and 32 -- now accepting socialism and communism
as acceptable alternatives to capitalism, this nation is in for a hard journey
ahead and some extremely dangerous and violent times, I do believe. We must
speak out loudly, often and all across the land at the real danger this poses
to freedom and liberty and properly explain the reasons and the dynamics that
make capitalism married to the ideas of freedom and equality under the rule of
law and a republic the best system to come along in the history of mankind,
providing the greatest prosperity to the most people, whereby they were able to
achieve the greatest level of liberty seen in the history of mankind.
I hope and pray daily for the better sense and the better
angels of America to take hold soon and move the country on the whole away from
the current madness that has seemed to taken it in an iron grip. If Americans
do not soon return to a sensible, pragmatic and righteous path for their own
good and the good of the nation, I fear we may actually live to witness the end
of this republic, as it has stood for over 200 years.
May the Good Lord Not Allow Such a Miserable Fate to Befall
Our Beloved America. ___ Amen-Amen-Amen

Opinion: The commies aren’t coming — they’re already here
By Peter Heck

When news first broke about Andrei Serban, the Romanian-born
Columbia University professor that resigned from his job
at the prestigious school due to his conviction that they were slouching
towards the very communistic thought-policing that had caused him to flee his
home country, my mind immediately went back to Dr. Ivan Pongracic.
Dr. Pongracic was my economics professor during my
undergraduate years at Indiana Wesleyan University. While Dr. Pongracic was a
fabulous teacher, entertaining and engaging, I admit I was very uncomfortable
in his classroom. Not because he picked on anyone, was overly demanding, or
held confusing expectations. I became troubled because of the repeated
parallels he was able to draw between the communism he too had fled as a young
adult, and the United States of America.
The students in my class who cared enough to pay attention would
often leave class and debate his warnings and admonitions. I remember several
suggesting that while there were some unquestionable similarities between what
Pongracic had experienced under communist rule and what was becoming culturally
embraced here in America, it was more likely a case of the good professor being
hypersensitive and overly cautious than an accurate foreshadowing of things to
come.
That was 2001. I wonder what Pongracic’s students are saying
today.
For Serban, the issue at Columbia seemed to stem from two of
the very dangers Pongracic often warned about: the undermining of merit-based
accomplishment and centralized thought-policing. “It’s coming,” we would often
hear. And at Columbia, it came for Serban:
Serban, the director of a hiring
committee seeking to replace a retired professor, says that the dean of the art
school told the committee that there were “too many white professors, too many
heterosexual men” and that they should hire a minority, a woman, or a gay man.
Serban says that when he asked if they should choose a straight, white male if he were the most qualified candidate, he was told no.
Under communist rule, a person’s work ethic, effort,
passion, and determination to succeed are irrelevant. Central planners decide
positions that need filled, and through an egalitarian, even randomly selective
process, fill those spots.
Several years ago I had a gentleman who had lived under
communism in Albania come and speak to my high school government students. He
told them about the day during his senior year of high school when government
officials arrived and distributed file folders to each of them that outlined
the occupation that the state had selected for them to fulfill in order to
“serve the collective.” He, a city-dweller who had never owned a pet, was
assigned to be a veterinarian. One of my students inquired if they were allowed
to object. The speaker smiled and said, “If you knew someone in government,
yes. If not, no.”
You can certainly understand Serban’s unease with a university
regime that tells well qualified applicants to a position that they are not
wanted because they don’t check off the egalitarian, intersectionality boxes
that are more highly valued than expertise.
And in terms of thought-policing:
Serban also said a transgender
student auditioned with Juliet’s monologue from “Romeo and Juliet.” Serban said
he could not believe the student could become Juliet and his colleagues
expressed displeasure with him.
No one who has been conscious over the last decade in
America would doubt the fact that “displeasure” with Serban’s failure to comply
with the new spirit of the age would have quickly become “dismissal.” So Serban
got out, saying from a position of wisdom and experience,
“I felt like I was living under
communism again.”
Dr. Pongracic would agree, having predicted it nearly two
decades ago. The only question is whether enough Americans will listen to them
before it’s too late.
