Even the Ruskies can see and foretold what would/is happening in america...
America's decline into Marxism began long before Obama-nation05.06.2009 Source: Pravda.Ru URL:
http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/feedback/107727-Americans_frustration-0Pravda.Ru has recently published an article American capitalism gone with a whimper which describes the present-day economic situation in the USA. This article triggered a very vivid discussion in Western media sources. We received a lot of emails from our readers and here are the most interesting of them:
Wayne VanDerwood: “I read today the article about the United States loosing it's freedoms. This article angers me a great deal. Especially coming from Pravda.Ru. I am particularly angry that there is not a single untruth in the entire article. The very idea of printing the truth. What has happened to the world when a Russian news paper lectures Americans on liberty and is completely correct.”
Joey McLiney: “I never thought I would completely agree with Pravda.Ru. As unfortunate as it is, you are correct with everything you wrote in your article. As you accurately pointed out, it began long before the Obama-nation. However it didn't begin with either of the Bush presidencies, or even Reagan. It even predates the Russian Revolution.
In fact, the fall of the United States began with our Civil War. This, of course, ties in perfectly with one of your very correct observations regarding the substandard education system. EVERY US child is taught to worship Abraham Lincoln because he supposedly freed the slaves. Unfortunately, what too few are taught is what Lincoln said in his first Inaugural Address:
"I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."
In fact, the destruction this horrific institution was nothing more than a collateral benefit of the Civil War.
The Civil War was actually about the rights of the individual AND SOVEREIGN states to disagree with, and in fact, leave the union. It was this freedom of succession that was (is?) the ultimate check on the United States Federal government.
Sadly, Lincoln's unwritten amendment to the US Constitution (the Civil War), no longer allows states to check the Federal government in anyway. It was this destruction of individual state's rights that leads us to the disaster we face today.
It would be very interesting if Putin provided us with a very needed history lesson. He could quite correctly point out the Russia is dealing with its Georgian state, EXACTLY the same way the US dealt with their own breakaway republics more than 100 years ago.”
Corban Wichtendahl: “I was born and raised in America, and I have been quite proud of what we've accomplished. Today, I read "American capitalism gone with a whimper" by Stanislav Mishin, and I have to confess, he is about 100% correct. I have felt great frustration with how the government has been acting during the past 150 days. President George W. Bush hurt the country by expanding governmental power, but he at least kept the country safe after 9/11. The current administration likes to blame Bush for all the evils that are currently happening, but Pres. Obama has done more to hurt America in 150 days than Bush did in 8 years. I look at 4 more years of Obama in absolute horror. Unfortunately, I go to school/work at a University, which is about as liberal as it gets in America.
I hear people bashing and laughing at anybody who disagrees with Obama or his values, then congratulating themselves with their supposedly superior wit. I want to yell at them, "Don't you get it?! It's really quite obvious!", but people seem to contently live in a stupor. Fortunately, more people seem to be getting it, and more of the quiet are starting to speak out. The recent teaparties are a great example. I hope for a peaceful revolution, and I believe there will be a revolution. However, I'm afraid that either the revolution will be violent, and/or that it might come too late.
I also very much agree with Stanislav's criticism of homosexuality. To a large extent, one can't speak out against it, however, because he would be branded a "homophobe" and be incessantly ridiculed. The slam on Barney Frank was fantastic. I would call him a weasel, but that would be
animal cruelty.”
Scott Moore: “Wow! Stanislav Mishin hits it right on the nose today (5/29/2008) with his scathing critique of Barack Obama leading America down the road of socialist ruin. Thank God that SOMEONE in the press is willing to day what the American press won't.
I must confess that when I was a kid, during the Reagan years, I was among those Americans that condemned Russia's communist government. Back then, of someone had told me that Russians would become free and America would become communist, I would have questioned their sanity. Today, I'm dumbfounded as I watch it all unfold.
Stanislav isn't the first to make this point. I have heard people here in America, former Soviet citizens, warn that we're heading in the same direction as the Bolsheviks. There are plenty of Americans who don't worship at the alter of the "Obamessiah" and hopefully we'll be able to put this brakes on this downward spiral in our future elections (provided we still have elections). May God help us all.
I'll close with a quote from an American socialist. "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened," - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948.”

Here is the "AMERICAN CAPITALISM GONE WITH A WHIMPER" article mentioned in the article above American capitalism gone with a whimper27.04.2009 Source: Pravda.Ru URL:
http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-american_capitalism-0It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.
These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?
These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.
Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.
So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.
Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.
So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.
The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.
Stanislav Mishin
