Welcome back.
Socialism has been attempted many times in various ways and has always proven to be a complete failure. Whether it is an inheritance tax that punishes thrift by taxing the money saved during a lifetime, the progressive tax system that discourages work and investment, or restrictions and confiscation of private property through radical environmental policies, socialism does not work.
The states of the former Soviet Union will spend decades - and perhaps longer - recovering from their seventy-year affair with socialism that kept them from modern levels of prosperity. Other societies have tried without any more success to make socialism a productive system by which to live and govern.
In this segment we will meet the founder of what is known as the Keynesian Economic Model and its approach to pillage our nations monetary system and steal from its citizens financial coffers...
"Faith, Family & Freedom: Our American Values Under Fire"
John Maynard Keynes
(1883-1946)
John Maynard Keynes is likely the world’s best-known economist. Yet, Keynesian economics can be recognized by its values that are contrary to much of what makes for healthy financial living for individuals or nations – love of debt and hatred of savings. The wholesale implementation of his ideas caused the Great Depression to be much deeper and last much longer than was necessary. He believed that during an economic downturn or recession, government should borrow or inflate the currency and dump large amounts of cash into the economy by being the primary source of spending and employment. The end results are inflation and the devaluation of currency.
A socialist, Keynes was a member of the British Fabian Society. Fabian Socialism was birthed in London in 1883 and is best defined as “desiring Socialism through evolution instead of revolution.” Many members of America’s two dominate political parties are committed to Keynesian economics, and many are likewise Fabians. The true goal of Fabian Socialism is not merely socialism but Globalism. Fabianism dovetails well with corporate fascism, the merging of big government and big business. America is moving toward corporate fascism rather quickly and the pace is increasing at an alarming rate.
Many Americans would not knowingly allow corporate fascism to become the core of our economic systems; this is why Humanist Richard Rorty suggests that welfare-state capitalism would work just fine. Welfare-state capitalism is what we now call interventionalism, which is neither a totally state-planned economy nor a completely free market economy, but a combination of the two, where the state plays a role in redistributing the wealth created in a partially or mostly free market environment.
In the end, Fabian Socialists don’t really want to own it if they can control it and all they need to control it is a financial crisis that allows them to change laws, inflate the currency, and buy more stock in corporations. Whether you call it nationalizing an industry or corporate fascism, the result is the same – the death of freedom and private property rights. Keynes himself admitted that by:
…through a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method, they not only confiscate, but confiscate arbitrarily: and while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The process engages all of the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in such a manner that not one man in a million can diagnose.
What America experienced at the tail end of 2008 under Bush 43 and then in 2009 with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and going into debt by trillions of dollars is nothing more or nothing less than Fabian, Keynesian economic philosophy. For 6,000 years, the world has tried various standards of currency and they have always ended up with gold and silver as the standard of money. One could judge it as the soundest forms of currency. The dollar itself comes from the word thaler, which was a German historical measurement of what an ounce of silver would entail, or a percentage of what a gold piece would entail. In fact, the U.S. Constitution identifies money as gold and silver.
Keynesian economics is unbiblical for many reasons, but even a quick reading of the Ten Commandments reveals two. The Commandments against stealing and coveting are broken when the government covets what you own and seeks to steal it from you through inflation. Further in Deuteronomy 25:13-16 God declares His hatred of unjust weights and scales that are used to cheat people. Our government and the Federal Reserve use the “unjust weights and scales” of monetization (printing money) of our national debt to steal from Americans for the government’s self-serving financial gain and harvesting of power, which is nothing less than "legal counterfeiting." Note, too, that according to the Bible, mere consumer confidence is not considered adequate backing for a currency. Haggai 2:8 proclaims, “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the Lord.” Real wealth is not stored or found in paper but in gold and silver, which fulfill the four sound characteristics of a currency: scarcity, portability, divisibility and a store of value. Stocks, bonds and paper money do not fulfill these four traits of sound, biblical financial wealth.
Like so many other losers on our list, Keynes was also a blatant pervert. Zygmund Dobbs, who conducted research for the book Keynes at Harvard, describes Keynes and his socialist buddies this way:
Singing the Red Flag, the highborn sons of the British upper-class lay on the carpeted floor spinning out socialist schemes in homosexual intermission… The attitude in such gatherings was anti-establishmentarian. To them the older generation was horribly out of date, even superfluous. The capitalist system was declared obsolete and revolution was proclaimed as the only solution. Christianity was pronounced an enemy force and the worst sorts of depravities were eulogized as ‘that love which passes all Christian understanding.’ Chief of this ring of homosexual revolutionaries was John Maynard Keynes… Keynes was characterized by his male sweetheart, Lytton Strachey, as “a liberal and a sodomite, an atheist and a statistician.” His particular depravity was the sexual abuse of little boys.
Joan Robinson, a Marxist economist who worked with Keynes, declared that “the differences between Marx and Keynes are only verbal.” I contend that many elected officials at the state and federal level of our government are Fabian socialists who are committed to bring about a social revolution in America by deliberately creating an environment in which chaos and crisis can flourish for the purpose of bigger government – and to move us toward Globalism.
In March of 2009, Dr. David Noebel documents on worldviewtimes.com that there were then some 123 known socialists in the U.S. House of Representatives:
The legislators involved in this socialistic understanding belong to one or more radical House organizations: The Progressive Democrats of America (6 House members), the Congressional Progressive Caucus (74 House members), the Congressional Black Caucus (43 House members), and the Democratic Socialists of America. Incidentally, the Democratic Socialists of America do not identify their House members since they consider all members of the Congressional progressive Caucus part of their membership due to the fact that “they both share operative social democratic politics.”
Until they can completely transform America into a welfare-state Capitalism, politicians will take advantage of the wealth generated by capitalism to gain votes by redistributing it to the masses. Noebel describes their scheme:
Today’s Fabians/Progressives/Radicals allow their capitalist enemies to create wealth, but acquire it by taxing them instead of slaughtering them (Marx’s “reign of terrorism on the bourgeoisie”). They are then free to distribute the wealth among the economically disadvantaged, the intellectual elites, and the superior governing classes.
Such (re)distribution of wealth ensures the favorable vote of the masses being fed, entertained, housed (with sub-prime loans) and doctored. ACORN (Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now) and socialism fit hand-in-glove just as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fit Barney Frank, Maxine Walters, and Chris Dodd to a “T”.
Most Americans are totally unaware that the U.S. House of Representatives crawls with a large, well-organized assembly of socialist organizations. These organizations are dedicated to (a) bringing about the destruction of the capitalist economic system (portrayed as greedy, conservative, religious, and/or filthy rich) and (b) slowly but surely bringing production, education, food, and health care under the complete control and regulation of the federal government.
Even though Fabians do not endorse the violent, radical tactics of communists, they will nevertheless defend communists as allies in their march toward Globalism. President Obama and many that have served in his administration and in Congress are disciples of the Fabian socialists. John Stormer writes:
Fabians worked for world revolution not through uprising of the workers but through indoctrination of young scholars. The Fabians believed that eventually these intellectual revolutionaries would acquire power and influence in the official and unofficial opinion-making and power-wielding agencies of the world. Then they could quietly establish a socialistic, one-world order.
Fabian socialists have been disciplined and committed for many decades to converting individuals to their worldview. In a well laid and patiently implemented scheme since 1883, history demonstrates that nothing has worked better or more surreptitiously than Keynesianism.
