Victims of Communism
Fewer Americans are now aware of the crimes of communist regimes and fewer Americans are skeptical of Marxist ideas than at any time since the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. From Hong Kong to Venezuela, dictators suppress freedom and justify their actions by appealing to the godfather of modern tyranny—Karl Marx. It has never been more important, nor more urgent, to lay bare the flawed ideology of Marxism and the crimes of those communist regimes that, in the name of equality, have engendered a new form of slavery in the modern world.
There are at least three reasons for our current state of affairs. First, there was never a moral reckoning for crimes committed in the name of communism in the USSR and other communist states. There should have been dozens of Nurembergs for communist regimes. Sadly, there has not been even one.
There is a double standard for the crimes committed by Nazis and those perpetrated by the Soviets, Mao, Pol Pot, and others. And although communist regimes began collapsing in Europe in 1989, they live on in Asia and Latin America, but with too few critics. Well-meaning Americans accepted the deceitful promises of self-reform made by the communist parties in Cuba and China and they seem to only pay attention to the North Korean regime’s sinister nature when it threatens to strike at America. The consequences of our historical amnesia and our indifference to tyranny today are dire, and may be more far-reaching than we can yet imagine.
Second, our country’s educational institutions have failed to teach the most important lessons of the twentieth century to a new generation of Americans. As our staff work with high school teachers and college students in all 50 states, it is clear that we are filling a crucial gap in the proper education of young Americans.
Third, geopolitical actors from Beijing and Pyongyang to Havana and Caracas desperately want to undermine the West’s ability to condemn their tyrannies and prevent us from emboldening their people’s desire for freedom. They audaciously present single party dictatorship and high-tech totalitarianism as acceptable twenty-first century alternatives to democracy. This tactic is working. From the United Nations at Turtle Bay to the European Union headquarters in Brussels, and even at times the White House, too many institutions have accepted their claims as valid. All told, we are not in an easy position as lovers of freedom in the early decades of the twenty-first century. And yet, we know that the best hope for keeping our liberties at home in the United States of America is to understand how fragile our way of life is and how different it could be if we accepted the precepts of Marxist collectivism. Ideas have consequences. The historical record is clear: communism kills.
At least 20 percent of the world’s population today lives under the oppression of a single-party communist dictatorship. The witness accounts and the voices of dissidents who fight for freedom in those countries help counter the propaganda that is so successfully misleading American politicians, media, and academics. These dissidents need America to remain the home of the free where speech is protected in all arenas of society and debate is not confounded by those who would make the citizen subservient to the government instead of governments subservient to the citizen.
Both abroad and at home, it is the truth that makes—and will keep—us free. Thank you for courageously and generously supporting the work of Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.
Together we are honoring the millions of victims, supporting the heroic dissidents of our day, and educating a new generation of Americans so that they will see through the false hope of Marxism and defend our precious experiment in human liberty.

AUSTRIA: instead of the migrants being targeted, it's the nasty human traffickers being targeted
That makes sense, because extranational smuggling cartels are the ugly off-camera player in these mass migrations that have flooded Europe (and the U.S.) making immense money off human misery as the news cameras have focused on hard-luck stories of individual migrants seeking to enter the West illegally and turned the cameras against anyone in the Western world who has opposed the practice. What's more, they've profited off the incentives to migrate illegally, as supposedly moral leaders, such as Pope Francis, have openly advocated for the individuals who enriched the smugglers, while ignoring the effects of illegal migration, such as imported violent crime, and cartels that grow richer and richer and richer, based on smuggling 'earnings.'READ MORE
Fact is, smuggling rackets have grown immensely rich off lax asylum policies in Western countries, making big dollars off the left's judges and bureaucrats' supposed compassion in allowing all comers in.

The last freedom
“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” —Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) author of "Man's Search for Meaning"
PROGRESSIVES AIM TO TAKE AWAY RELIGIOUS FREE SPEECH
The Flynn Entrapment A court filing shows the ugly tactics employed by James Comey’s FBI.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-flynn-entrapment-11544658915
Of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s many targets, the most tragic may be former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. The former three-star general pleaded guilty last year to a single count of lying to the FBI about conversations he had with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. Now we learn from Mr. Flynn’s court filing to the sentencing judge that senior bureau officials acted in a way to set him up for the fall.

VIVE LA FRANCE!
READ MOREIn a move of impeccable timing, a group of House Democrats and quisling Republicans have introduced a bill to impose a carbon tax here in the U.S., and the climatistas are falling all over themselves to say “Pay no attention to those riots over fuel taxes in France! Our carbon tax is completely different!” Here it is being called “tax and dividend” (or sometimes “revenue recycling,” which sounds even greener, because recycling!), as the tax revenue will supposedly be rebated to everyone. In other words, say the advocates, we merely want to induce fuel conservation by increasing the consumer price tag, but you’ll get your money back! So no harm, no foul air. I’m sure the next thing they’ll say is “Of course I’ll still respect you in the morning!” Why, I imagine the first carbon tax rebate checks are already in the mail.No one over the age of six believes that a carbon tax would be “revenue neutral,” or that any rebate scheme wouldn’t be tilted into a de facto redistribution scheme. Some advocates are quite open about it. The prize for the most exquisite take on the whole matter comes from Tom Steyer on Twitter:

There is a storm coming for American Jews!
by Gary Starr
NevilleAwards.com
PART ONE:
NevilleAwards.com
PART ONE:
There is a storm coming for American Jews.....and it won't distinguish between Conservative, mostly Orthodox Jews, and the Leftist secular Jews. If the left regains power in America there will be a second Holocaust...and this time the Zyklon B will be EPA approved.
And the way these leftist Jew haters conceal their real feelings is to mumble something about religion and government being separate and distinct. Except that Israel is a Jewish state, not a secular one. Of course these same morons don't seem to have problem with the "Islamic Republic of Take your Pick"
The last election saw two black Muslims females elected to the House, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar. The former celebrated her victory by wrapping herself in the Palestinian flag. Both have called for the end of U.S. aid to Israel
The Congressional Black Caucus is the most virulent anti-Semitic organization in the Federal Government. All of them are supporters of Louis Farrakhan.
With the rise of Black and Hispanic radical left wing candidates like Ocasio Cortez, Andrew Gillum and Stacy Abrams, who have professed anti-semitic leanings, and the rise of Muslims in politics like Linda Sarsour, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison, all of whom openly support the mainstreaming of Louis Farrakhan by the Leftist media, things are going to take a very dark turn for American Jews.
If "Never Again" is supposed to mean something here is a message to all Jews in the U.S.:
Buy guns. A lot of them. And learn to use them. You will need them.
Israeli Tactical Training in the U.S.
Jews Can Shoot
The Third Reich didn't distinguish between secular Jews, who considered themselves Germans first, and devout Jews.
Leftist Jews are classic useful idiots. They will be useful to Ellison, Linda Sarsour and the Democrats until they are no longer useful. Noam Chomsky and all the other smug Leftist Jewish Israel haters like Steven Goldstein, the director of the “Anne Frank Center.” Mark Hetfield, HIAS president, Hillel CEO Eric Fingerhut and The ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt will be swept up and sent away.
They will know the truth when it is too late.
PART TWO:
In America secular liberal Jews and the ADL have always voted for their own executioners. And now they are siding with and befriending America's enemies like Linda Sarsour and Rep. Keith x Ellison Mohammed. By embracing these Muslims in the name of diversity and tolerance they are signing their own death warrants. Most recently Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan and the Congressional Black Caucus have been very open in their anti-Semitism.
These Jews are classic useful idiots. They will be useful to Ellison, Linda Sarsour and the Democrats until they are no longer useful.
And now we can include Steven Goldstein, the director of the “Anne Frank Center.” Mark Hetfield, HIAS president, Hillel CEO Eric Fingerhut, The ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt are traitors to America and are selling out the Jews. In another era Goldstein, Hetfield, Greenblatt and Eric Fingerhut would be called Kapos or Sonderkommandos.
The Progressive Left is the source of Jew Hatred and Israel hatred most significantly since the Six Day War. They always couch it in anti-Zionism. Like Germany in the 1920s today's American anti-Semitism finds fertile ground in academia.
Indeed Mark Levin talked about this topic on his show of 8/17/2018 beginning at the 1 hr 26 minute mark http://www.marklevinshow.com/
The BLM movement, the Israel Divestment BDS movement and the Students for Justice in Palestine, all at the universities are ground zero for anti-Semitism. Obama, Hillary and Kerry sold out Israel via the Iranian nuke deal.
There is also a disturbing confluence of alliances in the Democrat Party starting to form. I call it the Ocasio Cortez/Sarsour axis of evil.
The players include Linda Sarsour, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Keith X Ellison and Cory Booker, Louis Farrakhan and the Congressional Black Caucus.

But because of the Trump victory the secular Jews in this country have been granted a reprieve although it looks like they won’t take advantage of it. Christians, in this country, were under assault from Obama within two years of his taking office. If Hillary had won, the Jewish persecutions would have started within a couple of years.
It's already happening in France and Germany. The Jews are no longer the favored pets of the Dhimmicrats. Hillary would have increased Obama's Muslim numbers in this country via refugee immigration, to the point they would have influenced policy. The Dhimmicrats do not care about the Jewish vote anymore.
Post Parkland we are also starting to see another disturbing trend…secular Jews participating in various gun control schemes, specifically AR bans in Deerfield Illinois and Boulder City Colorado. Wasn’t the gun confiscation in the Third Reich enough of an abject lesson for them? Perhaps a quick read of Stephen Holcombs “Gun Control in the Third Reich” will enlighten. In Deerfield Mayor Harriet Rosenthal said the following: “Enough is enough,” she said when the ban was first discussed. “Those students are so articulate just like our students. There is no place here for assault weapons.” What an idiot. Deerfield Residents have until June 2018 to comply. In Boulder City Councilwoman Jill Adler Grano, said “This is not a knee-jerk reaction.” Of course it is. Boulder City is considering the ban.
And now the Progressive Left has seen the naïveté of American secular Jews and is ready to take full advantage of it. These idiot Jews might as well march themselves into the ovens where the Zyklon B will be EPA approved.

Victor Davis Hanson: "A reminder that abstract progressive ideologies impose life-and-death consequences on millions"
Roads between mountain communities are windy, narrow, and often potholed and crumbling (California remains near last in state-by-state infrastructure ratings, though it will soon have the nation's highest gas taxes). For many foothill residents, the ensuing lack of traffic and easy mountain access is seen as a sort of blessing, ensuring privacy and a lack of tourism. Unfortunately, the net result of both poor and too few roads was that when wind-swept fires leapt through canyons and up hillsides, it was almost impossible to escape rural communities and private residences with any rapidity. And so, homes burned down and people died.
In a larger sense, twenty-first-century California is starting to confront the real-life consequences of its own abstract ideologies — on several tragic fronts. The nearly five-year drought taught us that entire communities and vast irrigated acreages could disappear if we ignored our forefathers' warnings to keep building reservoirs, aqueducts, and dams commensurately with population growth, and to abide by the original rationale of these multi-billion-dollar projects. Open borders and sanctuary cities appear humanitarian, but when the result was the arrival of millions of impoverished immigrants without legal status, English fluency, and high school diplomas, state resources once prioritized for roads, bridges, canals, reservoirs, and airports were directed to accommodate vast expansions of social-welfare programs. The idea of ending close state supervision of those suffering from psychological disorders and mental illnesses, when combined with strict zoning and environmental laws that stymied new low-cost housing construction, led to hundreds of thousands of homeless living on the sidewalks of the state's temperate coastal cities, from San Diego to Berkley. Medieval plagues like typhus and infectious hepatitis are often the result.
These same paradoxes help explain the 2018 epidemic of destructive forest fires, a tragic consequence of ideology trumping reality and common sense. Once upon a time, the architects of state governance understood that living in paradise required constant investments and vigilance against the vagaries of both Mother Nature and human nature, whether that meant managed forestry, road construction, reasonable building codes, or water storage and transfers. In theory, at least, millions of dead trees may have been ecological assets for a near pristine, mid-twentieth-century California of 10 million people. But such natural kindling can pose an existential danger to a complex civilization of 40 million twentieth-first century state residents.

Why Carry a Gun?
My old Grandpa said to me, 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to take a whoopin'.'
I don't carry a gun to kill people; I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil; I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the World.
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government; I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry; I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone; I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate; I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don't carry a gun because I love it; I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron: Free citizens must protect themselves because police do not protect you from crime; they just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take a whoopin'!

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in the World! If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends. The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either.
Switzerland issues a gun to every household. Switzerland's government issues and trains every adult in the use of a rifle. Switzerland has the lowest gun related crime rate of any civilized country in the world!
I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please forward this. If you're not a believer, please reconsider the true facts. This is history; not what's being shown on TV, sanctioned by our illustrious delusional leaders in Washington.

DECISION BRIEF: President Trump Must Declassify Obama’s Secret PSD-11 Strategy to Support the Muslim Brotherhood
Decision: President Trump should immediately declassify former President Obama’s 2010 strategy for secret US support for the Muslim Brotherhood. That strategy is outlined in the still-classified Presidential Study Directive 11 (PSD-11).
Reason: No coherent US national security strategy can be implemented without full understanding of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Obama administration’s support for it as outlined in PSD-11. The previous administration secretly supported the Muslim Brotherhood as a “moderate” Islamist alternative to al Qaeda and ISIS. Many believe that US intelligence collection against the Brotherhood all but stopped. At the same time, critics of the Muslim Brotherhood have been vilified as haters and conspiracy theorists. The controversy over the murder of Saudi Muslim Brotherhood member and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi provides the proper pretext to declassify PSD-11 entirely.

America doesn’t lead the world in mass public shootings. We’re not even close. Just last month, a school shooting in Crimea, Russia, claimed 20 lives and wounded 65 others. But Americans usually don’t hear about such events.
The Crime Prevention Research Center, of which I am president, recently finished updating a list of mass public shootings worldwide. . .
Of the 97 countries where we identified mass public shootings, the U.S. ranks 64th per capita in its rate of attacks and 65th in fatalities. Major European countries, such as Norway, Finland, France, Switzerland and Russia, all have at least 25 percent higher per capita murder rates from mass public shootings.READ MORE
While Americans are rightly concerned by the increased frequency and severity of mass public shootings, the rest of the world is experiencing much larger increases in per capita rates of attack. The frequency of foreign mass public shootings since 1998 has grown 291 percent faster than in the U.S.
The media bias on this is overwhelming. Even after President Donald Trump again raised the danger of gun-free zones, the news media still refuse to mention this fact in its reporting of mass shootings. . .
Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song) by Amy Grant...is breath taking.
Amy Grant Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song) - The Nativity Story from Kristy Honsvick on Vimeo.
This Christmas song tells the nativity story from Mary's perspective. It portrays the mother of Jesus as a frightened young girl, attempting to deal with the circumstances of giving birth to the Holy Father's Son. Despite her human doubts, Mary's faith in the goodness and mercy of God remain and help her deal with the unique situation she finds herself in. English songwriter Chris Eaton originally penned this song, with the title "Breath of Heaven." (Released on Amy Grant's holiday album in 1983.) READ MORE
Breath Of Heaven (Mary's Song)
from the album Home for Christmas
I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy father you have come
And chosen me now to carry your son
I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now
Be with me now
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven
Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven

What does the bible say about immigration?
Here is the reality, not just a passage or two taken out of context!
Open-borders Advocates Quote The Bible To Justify Their Agenda
Look at
what a Hispanic professor (and drafter for the Missouri Synod Commission on
Theology and Church Relations report Immigrants among Us: A Lutheran Framework for Addressing
Immigration Issues) came
up with:
Ever since
Satan got Adam expelled from Paradise, making him the world’s first exile, the
enemy has made the people of God the objects of “the hatred of the world” and
driven them “out of their homes” into “exile by whatever means he could. . .”
And then:
Luther sees
Abraham as the prime example of hospitality for the New Testament church.
Adam (of Adam and Eve) was the
world's first refugee? Really???
The word
"hospitality" is found sixteen (16) times throughout the above
article which, besides trying to turn Abraham--and a "16th-century
reformer"--into a cosmic welcome wagon, has this very big problem:
For those who
argue from the Old Testament law for a policy of open borders, they should
realize that they are also arguing for a modern theocracy where everyone in the
nation worships only one God (the Triune God of the Bible), and all other
religions are forbidden. Religious pluralism was outlawed.
Not to mention this REALLY big one:
And for those
who insist on going to the New Testament:
Hoffmeier
discusses a scripture that open border advocates often cite, Matthew 25: 31-45.
In them Christ welcomes people into his heavenly kingdom because “I was a
stranger, and you invited me in.” When they ask when they did that, he replies,
“. . . to the extent you did it to these brothers of mine, even the least of
them, you did it to me.” This means, say the open border religionists, that one
must admit and embrace every foreigner who chooses to enter one’s country.
The fallacy here is that this scripture addresses personal
ethics, not national policies, as salvation is a personal issue. The Old
Testament, on which Christ based his ministry, did not—as we have seen—command
Israel to have open borders. The phrase “brothers of mine,” Hoffmeier notes,
always refers to fellow Christians, not the world at large, so the matter is
one of private benevolence among believers. Further, he points out, the word
translated brothers, adelphoi, may specifically refer to disciples sent on
evangelistic missions. And finally, though not mentioned by Hoffmeier, the
Greek word xenos, translated as stranger, does not necessarily mean a
foreigner. Another meaning is guest. Clearly the message of Matthew 25 is not
related to the present day issue of immigration.
Hoffmeier
makes his case quite well, but a useful addition might have been a discussion
of the general topic of nationality from a biblical perspective. The underlying
premise of many open border advocates, religious and nonreligious, is that
nations shouldn’t regulate immigration, because — first and foremost — nations
shouldn’t exist as sovereign entities, if indeed they should exist at all.
These advocates maintain that all men would live in peace if merged together
under a one world government.
History, however, offers little justification for this globalist
vision.
Finally, always follow the money, honey:
Catholic (and also Lutheran) organizations are raking in the
big government bucks for participating in the “resettling” of “refugees”:
