Financial bailouts of the financial corporations by the Bush Administration has removed the United States status as Republic Democracy into Socialism and soon nearing a Communism or worst Christian Communism. This is not a radical statement. The United States has not officially announced the demise of Democracy, but the action of the Bush Administration (not the action of 9/11) has thrown freedom away.
We are a country that now and has a Socialism value, but with the added religious influence and the potential of Palin becoming the first female VP and President (within 2 years) it will bring the U.S. into Christian Communism.
Since this is the case, another Democracy, must invade and establish the United States as true Democracy. The established current administration has gotten into office using fear, threats, and tampered elections. I am hoping for the UK.
Here are a few programs the Federal Government established, towards Socialism/Communism, one notch at a time:
Medicare : A Universal Health Care available to all U.S. citizens 65 years of age or older and it also covers people with certain disabilities. It is available regardless of income. Funded through the tax system
Social Security : A Nationalized Supplemental Retirement System. It is funded through mandated payroll taxes. Some state institutions has eliminated the US Social Security for their own State Retirement System. Either way, it is mandated through a tax system.
Medicaid : A Universal Health Care available to all U.S. citizens that are either poor, children and/or pregnant women living under the federal poverty level. It is funded jointly by the states and the federal government through a tax system.
Finance of Higher Education : Federal Student Aid programs at the U.S. Department of Education include Pell grants, Stafford loans, PLUS loans, and the “campus-based” programs: Federal Work Study, Perkins loans, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity grants. Funded through the tax system
Federal Drinking Age : You might think there’s no harm for the 21 year limit to purchase and consumption of alcohol. But, The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 required all states to raise their minimum purchase and public possession of alcohol age to 21. States that did not comply faced a reduction (up to 10%) in highway funds under the Federal Highway Aid Act. This is a federal force of social choices and decision.
Abstinence-Only Education : The United States government withheld from schools a percentage of $50 million unless they teach a religious based abstinence-only programs. Many school systems have refused the money, but with the economy failing how many will bring in the program for the funds. Funded through the tax system.
Cost of Food : Under the guise of the US Farm Bill, the United States government dictates the cost of food through a Federal Agricultural Subsidy. This subsidy is government paying farmers and agribusinesses to supplement their income, manage the supply of agricultural commodities, and influence the cost and supply of such commodities. The subsidy programs give farmers extra money for their crops or not to grow crops, as guarantee a price floor and control the market price. Funded through a tax system.
Federal Property Rights : The United State via Eminent Domain has the power of governments to take private or personal property. The property seized is either supplemented or fully funded through the tax system.
Political Repression : One sign of Communism is Political Repression. Political repression may be represented by discriminatory policies, human rights violation, surveillance abuse, police brutality, imprisonment, involuntary settlement, stripping of citizen’s rights, and violent action such as the murder, summary executions, torture, forced disappearance and other extrajudicial punishment of political activists, dissidents, or general population.
Here are the top five programs that reflect Christian Communism:
- Patriot Act
- “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
- DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act)
- Guantánamo Bay
- Faith Based Federal Funding
An extensive report prepared for the United Nations Human Rights Committee tabled in 2006 states that in the United States, the “War on Terror” has “created a generalized climate of impunity for law enforcement officers, and contributed to the erosion of what few accountability mechanisms exist for civilian control over law enforcement agencies. As a result, police brutality and abuse persist unabated and undeterred across the country. (Read More . . . )
These programs are funded through a Federal tax system.
Censorship : According to Reporters Without Border the United States has less freedom compared to many countries including Nicaragua, South Korea, Japan, Canada and South Africa (Read More . . .). In general the United States promotes freedom of speech, at closer inspection this constitutional right is tossed aside for political, corporate, and religious reasons.
National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC), the watchdog of incidences of censorship in the United States or by the government of the United States, points out there is a trend towards greater government secrecy which influenced a more subtle type of censorship in news reporting and access to current events.
The Bush Administration with financial bailouts of over $200 million, and now closer to $700 billion, this is just another nail in the coffin of Democracy in the United States. We shall soon be evaluated by our patriotism, religion, worldview, personal choices, or even by the company we keep.
The only solution is to merge into a regulatory system rather than direct influence of all financial, social, religious, private and personal elements in the United States.
FINAL NOTE : To prepare for Communism, the term is Comrade . . . Comrade.
I’ve been trying through the online for my research on this subject, thank you so much…
Last week we argued that, with the nationalization of Fannie and Freddie, comrades Bush, Paulson and Bernanke had started transforming the USA into the USSRA (United Socialist State Republic of America). This transformation of the USA into a country where there is socialism for the rich, the well connected and Wall Street (i.e. where profits are privatized and losses are socialized) continues today with the nationalization of AIG.
