SOCIALISM - A CON GAME OF THE ECONOMIC ELITE

America is being socialized and everyone knows it. Most people seem to
grudgingly accept socialism as being inevitable, but is it really? What the
average person has a hard time figuring out is why super rich people like
the Kennedys, Fords, and Rockefellers promote socialism. Aren't wealthy
people supposed to be "greedy capitalists"? Don't they have a lot to lose in
a socialist system? Isn't it a paradox that the rich would try to destroy
"free enterprise" and promote socialism?
In order to answer those questions we must understand what socialism is. We
must realize that its wealthy promoters have propagandized the masses into
believing a different definition of socialism than what the term really
means in actual practice. While we have been led to believe that socialism
is a "share-the-wealth" program, nothing could be further from the truth.
The Rockefellers, Fords and Kennedy's have no intention of dividing up their
own wealth with anyone. Their personal riches are protected in family trusts
and tax-exempt foundations so that they pay little or nothing in taxes.
These hypocrites talk about their concern for the downtrodden by promoting
every socialist program imaginable in order to increase YOUR taxes. If these
people really cared about the poor, shouldn't they be willing to set an
example by giving away their own fortunes instead of yours?
I don't doubt that there are wealthy people who have shared their wealth to
help others, but that doesn't explain the actions of rich people like the
Rockefellers, Fords, and Kennedys. While they hold up altruistic motives for
their socialist objectives, their own actions betray them.
So if the goal of socialism isn't altruistic, then how does this system
benefit the wealthy? To understand what attracts some of the super rich to
socialism, we need to look not at the phony theory put out by the socialist
promoters in America, but at socialist countries in action. These are the
Communist countries. Communists refer to their own countries as socialist
because the goal of communism IS socialism. (I wonder how many people would
still accept socialism as inevitable if they knew that it was the goal of
communism?) When looking at the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
(USSR), China, Cuba and a host of other nations, we can see that socialism
is really a small clique of a few elites at the top. These elites rule with
an iron fist over the rest of the peoples in their country, all of whom have
been relegated to the status of serfs. This oligarchy controls all of the
country's wealth, all of its production and even the very lives of its
people. Socialism is not a share-the-wealth program at all, but a way for
the very rich to be able to protect their own wealth and at the same time to
be able to control yours!
The goal of socialism is power. It is a con game to get people to surrender
their freedom to an all-powerful, all encompassing, collectivist government.
Socialism is not a movement of the downtrodden masses like its promoters
tell us, but a movement of the economic elite. So for the super rich to be
promoting socialism is not a paradox at all because the real "greedy
capitalists" are those at the top who espouse socialism! They are what we
would call "monopoly capitalists". With free enterprise capitalism, everyone
has the opportunity to accumulate his or her own wealth or capital. In a
socialist system, the monopoly capitalists own and control all of a
country's capital while the people who do all the work are not allowed to
accumulate wealth for themselves.
In our socialist system here in the United States, the wealth that we work
so hard to create and are not allowed to accumulate is transferred to the
government through various means. One means, of course, is taxes. Some taxes
are out in the open like your income tax, property tax, excise tax, sales
tax, etc. Then there is the deceitful and corrupt Federal Reserve System (it
is not federal, has no reserves and is not a system) that creates a hidden
tax called inflation, which is the most insidious tax of them all.
www.wealth4freedom.com/creature.htm It is through this corrupt system that
most of our wealth is confiscated. The Federal Reserve is not a branch of
the government like most people think, but a cartel of rich bankers in
league with government in order to protect their own interests.
A large portion of the wealth that is collected from the people in a
socialist system goes to finance the goals of the power elite. You can see
this in action in the United States. For many years now the power elite has
had control of the main stream media, entertainment, education, our
government and much more. They buy politicians and special interest groups
with the money they have confiscated from us in order to help them push
through their own devious agendas. Tyrannical judges are appointed to
overturn the will of the people when politicians aren't able to accomplish
the job.
Is there a way to stop this socialist nightmare? Until we realize that we as
the individual citizens of this nation are the problem, there can be no
solution. I know many "Christian conservatives" who vote for politicians and
social programs that promise them "free" services. This is how the shysters
who really run our government get us hooked into willingly supporting their
sinister plans. Whether it's education, medical care, or a host of other
things, we like the idea of getting something for "free". The problem is
that we really know better. We know that nothing is free and that government
has no money of its own. Government can spend only what it first confiscates
from others. We allow evil leaders to take us down this path of destruction
because of our own sin natures that desire that we get something without
working for it. There is nothing moral, conservative or Christian about
living at the expense of others.
"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own
house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." 1 Timothy
5:8
Scripture is very clear that we are to take care of our own "flesh and
blood". You might think you have made quite a testimony for God in the
workplace or in some other "mission field" but it is really no testimony for
God at all if you are not providing for your own family first.
Although we are told in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 that "if any would not work,
neither should he eat", we realize that there are those who are deserving of
charity and should be provided for through private donations, churches and
other such private organizations. Those who call themselves Christians can
never accept the immorality of socialist coercion as the answer to genuine
human need. Socialism is nothing more than a "ponzi" scheme where those at
the top live at the expense of those at the bottom until the people at the
bottom are completely crushed by the weight of the debt and the system
finally collapses.
The American people are living at the expense of their children and
grandchildren who are virtually being sold into slavery as these future
generations are being saddled with a monstrous debt that they will never be
able to repay. When the system finally collapses bringing chaos and fear,
who wins? The winners will be those at the top who have their own wealth
protected in family trust funds and tax-exempt foundations. These elite few
will gain the TOTAL control over our entire society that they have so long
strived for as the people cry to them for help, willing to give up their
precious freedoms for "security". Of course history shows us that people who
have no liberty have no say about their security either. They instead become
pawns in the hands of tyrannical government.
With our sinful addiction to government handouts, it won't be easy to alter
the destructive course of our nation. Both of our major political parties
are controlled by "big money" and promote socialism, yet we keep hearing how
we "can't win" unless we vote for one of the major parties. I'm here to say
that there is NO possible way of winning unless we are willing to step
outside the box and vote for someone who believes in our God-given
responsibilities as individuals. Our country's two-party political system is
a giant hoax being played out upon the American public in order to rob us of
our freedom.
Are you willing to help end this elite socialist "con game" by kicking the
government habit and turning instead to God, who promises to provide for our
needs as long as we faithfully follow the guidelines that He has set before
us in Scripture? Are you willing to stand for future generations in this
fight to preserve and pass on the freedoms that came to us at so high a
cost? If so, I pray that the changes will start with you.

Atheism teaches that there is no God, hence no God-given rights. That
ideology coupled with a system that believed in the superiority of the state
at the expense of the individual was murderously synergistic.
