GEORGE SOROS – 6 OF 6
We close with the last Mindszenty Report, Jan. 2010 – Sun. Jan. 31, 2010
The White House Rahmbo
With Obama in the White House and Soros’ access somewhat diminished, the argument can be made that Obama’s chief martinet is his Chief of Staff, the native Chicagoan Emmanuel. He’s the second son of a former Israel terrorist, Benjamin M. Emanuel, a Jerusalem-born pediatrician, and member of the Irgun, a militant Zionist group that operated in Palestine before Israel nationhood in 1948.
As Chief of Staff, Emanuel is in perfect position to carry out Soros-like solutions for the many crises that have confronted Barack Obama since last January. The 49-year old Emanuel was originally a Clinton supporter but he saw a brighter future with the Hawaiian Candidate. He is known for his take-no-prisoner style that has earned him the name Rahmbo. Stories abound concerning his ruthless style that includes profanity-laced bullying threats, and a dead fish. The Chicago Tribune calls Emanuel a brutally effective taskmaster.
As a result of his combative style, not everyone in Congress, or Washington, likes the former Clinton official and four-term Congressman. Even some members of his own party, including members of the black and Latino caucus bear no affection for him, especially those who feel he has run roughshod over their personal agendas.
Even his long list of enemies is impressed with his energy, intellect and sheer will. He’s aggressive and creates his own weather said one observer. Emanuel’s approach stands in stark contrast to President Obama’s whose own spineless demeanor of conciliation and surrender frightens few. Emanuel’s strong liberal views rank him as the insider Soros.
What does this all mean for America’s future? A strong argument can be made that there have been other weak presidents who have had behind the scenes control like Ulysses Grant, Warren Harding, Woodrow Wilson and maybe even George W. Bush. In all likelihood, as the Obama administration gets drawn closer to the unavoidable light of public scrutiny the umbilical cords linking him to more powerful forces such a George Soros, and Rahm Emanuel, will become increasingly more apparent.

P.S. Rahm is quoted, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Rolling Stones had this story on Rahm: “The night after Clinton was elected, Emanuel was so angry at the president’s enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling of a list of betrayers, shouting “DEAD!…DEAD!... DEAD! – and plunging the knife into the table after every name. HE IS LIKE GOLIATH AND WE ARE DAVID!

George Soros - 5 of 6
GEORGE SOROS – 5 OF 6
We continue with the Mindszenty Report, Jan. 2010 – BBPROF@sbcglobal.com
A Hospice Nation
Abortion is not the only life issue on the Soros radar screen. Given the recent storm surrounding Sarah Palin’s charge of death panels as part of Obama’s Health Care Reform, it is important to understand Soros’ stand on the other side of the life coin.
As part of his cultural reform, Soros is one the leaders in the right to die movement. Founded in 1994, Soros’ Project on Death in America was one the “Open Society Institute’s” early projects.
It sought to understand and transform the culture and experience of dying and bereavement. Its goal is to encourage people to overcome their fear of death and embrace the inevitable on their terms. IT PROMOTES BOTH SUICIDE AND EUTHANASIA.
It urges doctors to warehouse terminally ill people in hospitals and give palliative care to the gravely ill, that is care designed to help patients to feel better while they are dying, rather than wasting finite medical resources on trying to cure them.
In 1994 Soros gave a speech that not only endorsed the “Oregon Death with Dignity” legislation, but also reported that he had offered to help his mother commit suicide. Erzebet Soros had long been a member of the HEMLOCK SOCIETY, an organization that urges its members to commit suicide. His mother had enough medication to take her life but died without taking it. Ever the vigilant son, Soros was ready and willing to assist her had she requested it.
Soros philosophy on death would effectively turn American medicine into a HOSPICE NATION. It is a certainty that Soros’ influence has been at work during the Health Care debate. The American people should be leery of any Soros-inspired Death Panel that may be lurking within its thousands of pages…

George Soros - 4 of 6
George Soros – 4 of 6
We continue with the Mindszenty Report, Jan. 2010- BBPROF@sbcglobal.com :
A Catholic Wedge
One of Soros’ major contributions to Obama’s election was his work among the Catholic population. A full 54% of voting Catholics pulled the lever for the most overtly pro-abortion candidate in American history.
According to Accuracy in Media (AIM) editor Cliff Kinkaid, Soros poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into the coffers of progressive Catholic groups, many of whom are now leading the Obama push to socialize American health care.
To underscore Soros’ connection with Obama’s Catholic supporters, Catholic League president Bill Donohue exposed the link between Soros and two left-wing groups, “Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good” (CACG) and “Catholic United” (CU). Soros’ Open Society Institute gave the CACG $100,000, double what they gave in 2005.
Soros’ funds allocated for promoting two issues close to the Catholic conscience, namely health care and illegal immigration. These two issues are very high on the agenda of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). Soros’ accolades adroitly used them to drive a moral stake through the heart of Catholic solidarity. The CACG media director confessed to AIM that we have been primarily focused on highlighting the moral dimensions of this issue and articulating how Catholic social teaching addresses health care as a human right central to a just society.
Using their seamless garment towels to cover the federal funding mandate for abortion in Speaker Pelosi’s Health Care Bill, Catholic progressives have been working tirelessly for illegal immigrants being included in any health care reform.
John Podesta, who runs Soros’ Center for American Progress, admits that he works closely with CACG and CU. The reason Soros funds the Catholic left is that he can make abortion rights a respectable Catholic position and thus split the Church down the middle.
James Todd of Pewsitter.com which represents traditional Catholics, calls such groups nominal Catholic CINOs, or Catholic In Name Only. He believes that they have been funded to counterbalance the growing influence of the faithful Catholics AND to try to deceive and mislead the middle of the road Catholics that have determined the last 13 Presidential elections.
George H. Kubeck, In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, January 27, 2010
P.S. It is sad to access Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, and have the left-wing propaganda blog: Huffingtonpost.com directly being promoted. CACG does not believe that there is a culture war going on in America. Sadly, John Gehring ridicules Bill Donohue’s book, “Secular Sabotage: How Liberals Are Destroying Religion and Culture in America.” This is another reason to read the whole book.

Obama- U.S. News & World Report
Obama- U.S. News & World Report
Mortimer B. Zuckerman has come up with a poignant analysis in U.S. News & World Report, Fri., Jan. 22, 2010 – The Incredible Deflation of Barack Obama.
May I share excerpts with you?
1.)His promiscuity on TV has made him seem as if he is still a candidate instead of president and commander in chief.
2.)Obama’s reliance on a teleprompter for flawless delivery made for boring and unemotional TV, compounding his cerebral and unemotional style.
3.)He sets deadlines and let’s too many pass. He announces a strategic review of Afghanistan, describing it as “a war of necessity,” only to become less sure to the point that he didn’t seem committed to the policy he finally announced.
4.)He assigned the drafting of central legislative programs not to cabinet departments or White House staff but to the Democratic congressional leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, the very people so mistrusted by the public. Who could be surprised that the critical bills – the stimulus program and healthcare – degenerated under the welter of pork and earmarks that has so outraged the American public in the past?
5.)Pelosi benefited from $54 million to relocate a Bay Area wine train, not to speak of a secret deal with the drug industry lobby to preclude negotiations on Medicaid drug prices and exclude imports from Canada. Concessions that had previously strongly rejected by Obama.
6.)Reid favored the gambling industry by arranging an earmark for a L.A. to Los Vegas high-speed monorail, even though it won’t be built for years.
7.)Taxpayers have thus come to see politics as usual masquerading as economic recovery… Most critically, Obama misjudged the locus of the country’s anxiety: the economy… jobs, jobs, jobs.
8.)Over 60% of the country believes that government spending is excessive…
9.) Obama has failed to veto spending while centralizing power. A majority of Americans think it a mistake at this time of economic distress to embark on a costly health care program.
10.) In a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, only 23% said they “trusted the
government just about always or most of the time” – smallest portion in 12 years, and the all-important independent swing voters who decide elections now favor Republicans by 52% up from 30%.
11.) The administration seems “hopelessly naïve,” according to one Arab foreign
minister, and unable to face the full truth about Islamic terrorism.
12.) One major international political leader recently put it well: “Not only does
leadership of this region not think that Obama is strong enough to confront his enemies; they aren’t sure he is strong enough to support his friends.”
13.) Obama gets the approval of 76% of non-whites, his approval among whites is down to 41 %, according to Gallup.
14.) Obama’s political realignment of America is over, We no longer believe that he will “change the world” and “transform the country.”

George Soros: 3 of 6
George Soros: 3 of 6
Continued from the Mindszenty Report. Jan. 2010
A Globalist Web:
The best way for Soros to undermine America’s economy and its cultural institutions is through a web-like structure of subversive groups. The keyword which all of them have in common is the opens society, which is based on the Popperian notion that people act on imperfect knowledge and nobody is in possession of the ultimate truth.
As a result someone has to direct them. The bulk of Soros’ energies are centered on education, libraries, publishing, and media. Various scholarships are offered to students in order to give them access to greater resources.
Through his Open Society Institute, Soros fund groups that are part of an intricate web of globalist organizations that have been designed to advance his world agenda through stealth and subterfuge. His Democracy Alliance is led by two leading figures in the SIEU/ACORN nexus, namely Andy Stern, the international president of the Service Employees International Union and Anna Burger, the secretary treasurer.
Another important cog in the Soros global wheel of fortune is Drummond Pike, the head of the Tides Foundation. While the Republican Party and the right-wing media have recently had a field day highlighting criminal probes into ACORN’s link to the Pike foundation, an $80-million-a-year conduit from wealthy donors, who wish to conceal their contributions to many of the same organizations now principally sponsored by Soros’ cartel. Pike has been a long time sponsor of ACORN co-founder, Wade Rathke, who had to leave his organization in 2008 after the New York Times revealed a decade-long ACORN/Tides cover-up of a million-dollar theft from their treasury by his brother, Dale?
Another key component in the Soros globalist web is the Institute for Economic Thinking. The INET is another Soros front, which he launched with $50 million in seed money. INET to make research grants, convene symposia, and establish a journal that will thoroughly discredit the free market system which by socialist definition is always in crisis. He would replace it with a European form of state capitalism.

Half of the multitude that attended the annual rally and March for Life was under the age of 25, Father Thomas Euteneuer, president of Human Life International, told the Eternal Word Television Network.
Another 75,000 participated in the pro-life demonstration through a Virtual March for Life, an initiative sponsored by Americans United for Life Action.
The action group launched a Web site for people who support the cause and want their voices to be heard but were unable to attend the event.
The Web page allowed users to sign in and choose an avatar – a digital figure – to be placed on a map in front of the congressional buildings, thereby, making a stand to defend life.
SEVERAL POLITICAL AND SOCIAL LEADERS PARTICIPATED IN THIS VIRTUAL MARCH, INCLUDING SARAH PALIN, FORMER GOVERNOR OF ALASKA, MICHAEL HUCKABEE, FORMER GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS, MITT ROMNEY, FORMER GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS, RICH PERRY, GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, TIMOTHY PAULENTY, GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA, SEVERAL CONGRESSMEN, AND OTHER PERSONALITIES
IN THE FACEBOOK ENTRY, PALIN AFFIRMED, “TOGETHER WE CAN BEAR WITNESS TO THE BEAUTY AND BLESSINGS OF THE CULTURE OF LIFE.”
Members of the action group kept the online community updated with on-the-scene blog entries. They also created a network through Twitter and Facebook for pro-life activists to connect, comment and participate in today’s events.
Charmaine Yoest, president and CEO of Americans United for Life, explained in a letter that “with a health care bill that includes taxpayer funding for abortion hanging in the balance, this is an important, historic opportunity to get the attention of where you are,” she affirmed.
This year is the “most important March for Life in history,” Yoest said, “So much is at stake at this moment.

George Soros: 2 of 6
George Soros: 2 of 6
We continue with the Mindszenty Report, Jan. 2010 – BBPROF@sbcglobal.com :
“But where truth no longer exists, every standard can be altered; one can, in fact, do exactly the opposite: renunciation of the truth is the real source of our present crisis.” Pope Benedict XVI
Soros is also a collector of nations who delights in his ability to influence their internal politics. He helped finance the Czech Republic’s 1989 Velvet Revolution that brought Vaclav Hovel to power. He has acknowledged having orchestrated coups or regime changes over the years in Croatia, Georgia, Slovakia, and Yugoslavia.
Davos Man: Despite his atheism Soros has a God Complex. He sometimes refers to himself in biblical terms and has often bragged of his messianic ideas. In his own mind he is a Nietzschean superman. Some say he thinks he is the conscience of the world, dedicated to shattering all the traditional cultural canons, especially those of the American people.
Soros has expended several billion dollars over the years in America providing funding for abortion rights, atheism, drug legalization, sex education, euthanasia, feminism, gun control, globalization, mass immigration, gay marriage and other forms of social engineering.
He also funds organizations that advocate open borders, amnesty for illegal aliens, a cap and trade tax, defense spending reductions, an increase in minimum wage and a world poverty tax. HE IS A MAJOR FINANCIAL BACKER OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION (ACLU), which supports the rights of sex workers and radical feminists. President Obama’s agenda during his first year in office seems to have come from the
Soros playbook.
Much of Soros’ activity is inspired by his animus for capitalism. He despises its competition because it limits his ability to corner markets and manipulate currencies, the wellspring of his enormous wealth. With regard to his concern for the environment Libertarian Michael Berliner believe that it is not clean air and clean water that Soros wants but rather the demolition of America’s technological and industrial complex.
Soros’ relentless campaign to undermine American moral values makes him an avator of the Davos Man, a term coined by the late Harvard University political science professor Samuel Huntington to describe a group of globalist international elites who have no allegiance to any country. The Davos Man views national boundaries as inevitably vanishing. Soros also sees nation-states as harmful vestiges of the past and believes national laws and administrative regulations are detrimental to world economies as are national currencies.
He does all of this in the name of promoting an open society, which to Soros is merely the negation of all organized society. Soros hopes to direct his activities for a more unified world economy that would enhance his own abilities to corner markets and direct policies for billions of people. To be continued
George H. Kubeck, www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, January 21, 2010 - It’s No to SOROS and to any ACLU or PLANNED PARENTHOOD candidate for office.

FANNIE, FREDDIE ARE FRAUDS
FANNIE, FREDDIE ARE FRAUDS
(A classic analysis posted by Gary Jason in Orange County Register- Jan. 13, 2010)
At the root of the complex financial crisis America continues to endure are two giant GSEs, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In 1993, both Fannie and Freddie –under pressure from Democrats, started buying risky mortgages so that people could have “affordable housing” – meaning affordable to them, not to the taxpayers of course.
During the 2005-07, under the aegis of Rep. Barney Frank D-Mass., in particular, these GSEs were buying all the risky business they could.
(Risky loans include Alt-A mortgages, which are essentially loans of poor quality, with either insufficient down payment or borrower documentation, and subprime loans to people with poor credit ratings).
By buying all this dicey paper, Freddie and Fannie created what economists call “moral hazard”: they made it rational for mortgage buyers and brokers to engage in economically bad behaviour, namely, getting people into inappropriate loans. The banks, which normally wouldn’t buy much of such paper, bought a lot, knowing that GSEs, in turn, would buy that trash.
By 2008, these Twin Towers of liar loans owed 10 million risky loans, totaling $1.6 trillion. Between the 10 million risky loans, and the other 5.2 million such loans held by other government owned almost 60% of prime and Alt-A loans in the country. This was a moral hazard on steroids. Yes. unscrupulous brokers sold bad loans to imprudent buyers, but it was all enabled by these GSEs.
As of now, Freddie and Fannie own or guarantee half of the $10 trillion in U.S. mortgages – the really lousy half. This is made all the worse by three things:
First, a former chief credit officer for Fannie Mae, Edward Pinto, has discovered that, starting in 1993; both GSEs habitually lied about these loans, presenting them as prime loans, presenting them as prime loans. The GSEs defrauded the public. Second, the losses are exploding exponentially at Freddie and Fannie. This is why the Obama administration on Christmas Eve quietly removed the $400 billion cap on potential losses. Peter Wallison, a former general counsel at the Treasury Department, notes this amounts to a government admission that the taxpayers are already out $400 billion; nobody can say what the final total will be.
Third, even as these GSEs from hell are chewing up our money, their CEOs are getting big salaries – upward of $6 million each of this year. This is amazingly hypocritical, coming from an administration that routinely bashes Wall Street bankers as fat cats, and set up a “pay czar” to tell private banks what they should pay their CEOs. CONVENIENTLY, FREDDIE AND FANNIE ARE EXEMPT FROM THE TARP RULES.
GSEs are inherently based on deceit and open to abuse by politicians eager to buy votes with other people’s money. They are not subject to any kind of checks on their behavior, because they are not subject to market discipline (when they screw up the government won’t let them fail)… they (Obama) ought to draft an amendment to the Constitution banning new GSEs, and set a time limit on those that exist.

George Soros: 1 of 6
George Soros: Puppet Master – 1 of 6
I wish we had a billionaire who is pro-life, pro-marriage and pro-conscience with religious rights but sadly we have George Soros. The following story is fascinating and helps us understand the power of money and front organizations.
From all accounts,* Soros first met Obama in March 2004 when was still an Illinois State Senator, running for a vacant U.S. Senate seat, Just as sixties’ radical William Ayers launched Obama’s Senate campaign in 2004, it was Gluckstern of Soros” Democracy Alliance who held one of the biggest fundraisers for Obama’s presidential campaign in April of 2007.
Given Obama’s strong socialist bent, Soros’ early attraction is not surprising. It is becoming apparent that much of Obama’s globalist agenda for the United States comes, at least indirectly, from Soros’ globalist network.

George Soros was born in Budapest, Hungary, on August 12, 1930. His father was the Esperantist writer Tivadar Soros. The elder Soros was a lawyer whose marriage into a wealthy merchant family allowed him the freedom to become an authority on Esperanto, an artificial language, created in the 1880’s.
The Esperantists hope to eliminate nationalism by persuading everyone to drop his native tongue and speak Esperanto instead. It has served a useful metaphor for Soros throughout most of his life. In response to a growing tide of anti-Semitism, the family fittingly changed its name in 1936 from Schwartz to Soros, an Esperanto verb meaning will soar.
Soros wanted to go to Moscow to study Communism but his father persuaded him to go to London to study economics. Soros left for England in 1947 and graduated from the “London School of Economics” in 1952. One of his professors Karl Raimund Popper made a lasting impression on him.
Popper foretold the fall of the closed or totalitarian societies in his 1945 book, The Open Society and its Enemies. Soros later molded his global network of foundations around Popper’s vision. His Open Society Institute is his tribute to Popper’s principle of Fallibilism, the belief that anything one believes may be wrong, and it is therefore to be questioned and improved.
Popper was an atheist like Soros. He taught that men were doomed to grope blindly for truth by trial and error. No matter how hard they tried they would never find any truth.
The father of five, Soros has been divorced twice. In 1952 he became a successful broker, mastering the then obscure art of international arbitrage, which is the simultaneous buying and selling of commodities in different markets in order to realize immediate and sizable profits. He was extremely good at it as his fortune grew into the billions. By the 1990s Soros was manipulating world currencies to the extent that his dealings were created financial panic and ruination, especially in the United Kingdom and Malaysia. To be continued

Soros wanted to go to Moscow to study Communism but his father persuaded him to go to London to study economics. Soros left for England in 1947 and graduated from the “London School of Economics” in 1952. One of his professors Karl Raimund Popper made a lasting impression on him.
Popper foretold the fall of the closed or totalitarian societies in his 1945 book, The Open Society and its Enemies. Soros later molded his global network of foundations around Popper’s vision. His Open Society Institute is his tribute to Popper’s principle of Fallibilism, the belief that anything one believes may be wrong, and it is therefore to be questioned and improved.
Popper was an atheist like Soros. He taught that men were doomed to grope blindly for truth by trial and error. No matter how hard they tried they would never find any truth.
The father of five, Soros has been divorced twice. In 1952 he became a successful broker, mastering the then obscure art of international arbitrage, which is the simultaneous buying and selling of commodities in different markets in order to realize immediate and sizable profits. He was extremely good at it as his fortune grew into the billions. By the 1990s Soros was manipulating world currencies to the extent that his dealings were created financial panic and ruination, especially in the United Kingdom and Malaysia. To be continued

Obamacare Can Still Be Killed
Obamacare Can Still Be Killed
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, January 19, 2010
1.) The American people oppose Obamacare by almost 2 to 1 in the latest CNN poll. Other polls show lopsided opposition to passing either the Senate or House care bill
2.)The Democrats’ double-counting of Obamacare’s financial benefits has been exposed as a colossal lie. Harry Reid told the Senate that his bill strengthens our future by both “cutting our towering national deficit by as much as $1.3 trillion over the next 20 years” AND “strengthening Medicare and extending its life by nearly a decade.”
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) refuted that assertion. CBO said the claim that Obamacare would provide these benefits simultaneously “would essentially double-count a large share of those savings and thus overstate the improvement in the government’s fiscal position.”
3.) Obamacare is unconstitutional because of its mandate that all individuals must carry “approved” health insurance and all businesses must give health insurance to their employees whether or not the company can afford it. “Universal” coverage will be enforced by the Internal Revenue Service with power to punish those who don’t have such a plan.
4.) Since the Senate bill imposes sharp limits on health-insurance companies’ ability to raise fees or exclude coverage. It will likely force many of them out of business. Obamacare is unconstitutional because it violates the Bill of Rights protection against takings without just compensation and deprivation of property without due process of law.
5.) According to Robert Samuelson in the “Washington Post”, the “wild card is immigration.” From 1999 to 2008, 80 percent of the increase in the uninsured occurred among Hispanics, and Obama’s refusal to close our borders will make this problem more costly every year.
6.) Obama’s claim that “everybody” will now be covered creates few winners but lots of losers. Universal health insurance will be achieved by forcing young people to pay the additional costs (insurance for the youngest third of the population would rise by 35 percent), and by restricting and rationing care for the elderly.
7.) Other Obamacare provisions blatantly legislate racial and other forms of discrimination. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights sent two letters to the president and congressional leaders warning about the obnoxious requirements for racist and sexist quotas.
8.) Obamacare gives Medicare bureaucrats the power to ration health care by forcing doctors to prescribe cheaper medical devices and drugs…
9.) The Senate bill contains bribes: a) Sen. Mary Landrieu received $300 million increase in Medicaid funding for her state. (Louisiana). b) Sen. Ben Nelson --$100 million to give Nebraska a permanent exemption from costs of Medicaid Expansion.
10.) The Senate bill even has a four-page section artfully written to enable ACORN to get federal healthcare grants.

SHEILA CASSIDY
SHEILA CASSIDY
Does the British doctor Sheila Cassidy have a message for the political correct, leftist, white liberation theology Catholic-in-name-only politician the CINOP?
The British doctor, Sheila Cassidy (who in 1978 entered the Benedictine Order) was imprisoned and tortured in Chile in 1975 for having given medical treatment to a revolutionary.
Shortly after being tortured she was transferred to another cell, where she found a tattered Bible. She opened it, and the first thing she saw was a picture of a man prostrate under lightning, thunder and hail. Immediately she identified herself with this man, saw herself in him.
Then she looked further and saw in the upper part of the picture a mighty hand, the hand of God, and the text from the eighth chapter of the “Letter to the Romans,” a text that comes straight from the center of Resurrection-faith: “NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF CHRIST” (8:39)
And whereas at first it was the bottom half of the picture which she experienced, here being invaded by all that was terrible, crushing her like a helpless worm, she gradually came to experience more and more the other part of the picture, the powerful hand and the “Nothing can separate us.”
At first she still prayed, “Lord, let me out of here”, but this interior shaking of the prison bars turned more and more into that truly free composure which prays, with Jesus Christ: “Not my will, but thine, be done.”
Furthermore she discovered that, as a result, she was filled with a great freedom and kindness toward those who hated her; now she could love them, for she saw their hatred as their distress and imprisonment.
Subsequently she was put together with Marxist women; she held services for them, and they too discover this liberation from hatred and the great freedom which sprang from it. She says: “We knew that this freedom we had behind strong walls was not imagination; it was a quite tangible reality.”
After eight weeks she was released. What stayed with her, however, was that now she continually found Christ in every day life, in people and in things. She came to understand Chesterton {the apostle of Common Sense, ghk} when he described men and women who, signed with Christ’s Cross, cheerfully walk through darkness.
Finding this hidden life means releasing the sources of this world’s energy, linking the world to the power that can save it, giving it the resources for which it seeks in vain within itself. It means digging for and uncovering the wellspring of joy which can save and transform things and people and which has the power to undo and make good past suffering. SEEK THE THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE!
This is not merely clutching at a straw but a setting-out on the great Easter journey into the region of genuine reality.

Political Correctness
Political Correctness
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, January 18, 2010
Christianity, Judaism.
Dead White Males. Old-fashioned morality.
The traditional family. Tradition itself.
These are the betes noires of the elites. They are the pillars of incorrectness. Together, they constitute the thing called Western civilization.
Political correctness, at its heart, is the effort to dissolve the foundation on which American and European culture has been built. It has been a demolition project: undermine Western civilization in whatever way possible, and build a brave new world from the rubble.
Multiculturalism has nothing to do with genuine love for natives of the Australian outback or the monks of Tibet. It is an effort to crowd out our own cultural traditions. Radical secularization – in the name of “separation of church and state” – aims to burn out our religious roots.
Public education, purveying convenient untruths about our past – the Middle Ages were miserable, the ancients were simpletons, the church is oppressive – has sought to rob us of our heritage.
Misrepresentations of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the last two hundred years serve to create an illusion of unvarying progress made possible by abandoning the old ways. And that is the central myth that justifies the continued discarding of our religious, intellectual, and moral tradition.
Once our culture is untethered from Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem – once we’ve forgotten about or dismissed Moses, Plato, and Jesus- then the PC platoons in academia, government, & the media hope to steer the ship of culture to new shores.
Because political correctness is a project of destruction, the message has not always been consistent. Either Shakespeare was a subversive, closeted homosexual, or he was an ignorant chauvinist. Either Jesus was a non-judgmental hippie, or he was a preacher of hate. But this much has been consistent. Anything that reeks of the West is therefore politically incorrect and must be denigrated and condemned.
For those of us who love the West, it’s a daunting battle. The other side has the mainstream media, the Ivy League, the political classes, and a lot more money. Thankfully, on our side, we’ve got thousands of years of history and some pretty big guns with name like Aristotle, Augustine, Burke, and Eliot.
The bad ideas touted today as revolutionary and enlightened are hardly new; the West’s great minds have battled relativism, atheism, materialism, and State-worship for millennia. The great ideas can hold their own against anything the most renowned … Studies professor can devise.

The Murder of Innocent Life is called a Right!
The Murder of Innocent Life is called a Right!
When the murder of innocent life is called a right, then injustice has become justice. When the law can no longer protect human life, it is suspect as law.
Saying this does not means wanting to impose specifically Christian morality on all members of a pluralistic society.
What is in question here is human nature, the humanity of a person who cannot make the trampling on a created being a means of self-liberation without profoundly deceiving himself.
The vehemence of the dispute over this question is due to the profundity of the question that is being discussed. Do we become free only when we have cut ourselves loose from creation and have cast it off as enslavement? Or have we, precisely in so doing, betrayed ourselves?
In the last analysis, the battle being waged is about man as such, and from that we Christians cannot dispense ourselves. But another aspect of the question arises here that is significant for the situation of mankind today.
In the anxious attempt to obstruct the path of new human life as silently and surely as possible, can we not detect a deep anxiety about the future? Two answers seem to suggest themselves here.
On the other hand, this anxiety emanates, no doubt, from the fact that the free gift of life does not seem meaningful to us because we have lost the free gift of its meaning; there is evident a despair of one’s own life that makes us unwilling to impose on others the dark way of humanity.
On the other hand, we see exemplified here clearly and simply a fear of competition, a fear of the curtailment the other may invariably be for me. The other, he is to come, becomes a threat. True love is death, an obliteration of oneself before and for the other. But we have no desire for death.
We want only to be ourselves and to lead lives as free as possible from sharing and disturbance. We do not realize and we do not want to realize that, by our avidity for life, we are actually destroying our own future, that we risk having our own lives fall into the hands of death.
Pope Benedict XVI wrote the above about 33 years ago. It is posted in his book, Co-Workers of the Truth for the Feb. 15th meditation. – Friday, January 15, 2010

IS THE CINOP A SELF-HATING CATHOLIC?
Is the CINOP a self-hating Catholic?
In pursuit of the truth- www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2010
I am talking about the Catholic-in-name-only politician. We do not have that phenomenon among our Evangelicals or Baptist politicians promoting the intrinsic evils of abortion on demand, same-sex marriage and embryonic stem-cell research.
We do not have that politician in Poland or Nigeria. It probably depends on the culture of the country this politician lives in. We have the CINOP in Canada. They are the ones (Liberals) who passed same-sex marriage in the Canadian Parliament about 5 years ago. In the U.S.A. they are 95% within the Demo Party.
So let’s take a look at the LifeSiteNews.com article of Jan. 7, 2009 (InsideCatholic.com) – Catholic Politicians Supporting Same-Sex Marriage Legislation – Commentary by Deal W. Hudson
Writing for the Catholic Advocate, Matt Smith reports that 39 of the 106 cosponsors of a House bill that would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) are “self-identified” Catholics. Smith, a former associate director of the White House Office of Public Liaison, warns that same-sex marriage activists are trying to bring H.R. 3567 – ironically, titled the “Respect for Marriage Act 2009” – to the House floor this year.
The end of DOMA would mean 40 states would be required to recognize same-sex marriage. As Smith writes, the political fallout would be enormous: “Democrats will have learned nothing from the current health care debate or the voices of the voters in the states that have repealed gay marriage initiatives…
In 1996, the Catholic bishops in the U.S. expressed that teaching this way:
We oppose attempts to grant the legal status of marriage to a relationship between
persons of the same-sex. No same-sex union can realize the unique and full potential which the marital relationship expresses.. For this reason, our opposition to “same-sex marriage” is not an instance of unjust discrimination or animosity towards homosexual person.
It looks like we have the same Cinops who are in the effort to procure abortion funding in the Health Care are also promoting to change the legal status of marriage in direct contradiction to the teaching of the Catholic Church. Besides Rep. Rose DeLauro (D-CT) and Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), we have five from California. They are:
Rep. Xavier Becerra (D, CA-31), Rep. George Miller (D, CA-7), Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA-34), Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-39), and Rep. Diane Watson (D, CA-33).

P.S.The above info drives me up the wall. Repeal DOMA! It’s not America anymore! Is that normal for a U.S. Catholic? It is obviously not normal for many politically and religiously-correct minded U.S. Catholic writers in magazines like America, Commonweal, and National Catholic Reporter who want to ignore the above and not inform and educate the Catholic community about what’s going on.
The CINOP is an albatross and atrocious scandal around our country’s neck.

In pursuit of the truth- www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2010
I am talking about the Catholic-in-name-only politician. We do not have that phenomenon among our Evangelicals or Baptist politicians promoting the intrinsic evils of abortion on demand, same-sex marriage and embryonic stem-cell research.
We do not have that politician in Poland or Nigeria. It probably depends on the culture of the country this politician lives in. We have the CINOP in Canada. They are the ones (Liberals) who passed same-sex marriage in the Canadian Parliament about 5 years ago. In the U.S.A. they are 95% within the Demo Party.
So let’s take a look at the LifeSiteNews.com article of Jan. 7, 2009 (InsideCatholic.com) – Catholic Politicians Supporting Same-Sex Marriage Legislation – Commentary by Deal W. Hudson
Writing for the Catholic Advocate, Matt Smith reports that 39 of the 106 cosponsors of a House bill that would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) are “self-identified” Catholics. Smith, a former associate director of the White House Office of Public Liaison, warns that same-sex marriage activists are trying to bring H.R. 3567 – ironically, titled the “Respect for Marriage Act 2009” – to the House floor this year.
The end of DOMA would mean 40 states would be required to recognize same-sex marriage. As Smith writes, the political fallout would be enormous: “Democrats will have learned nothing from the current health care debate or the voices of the voters in the states that have repealed gay marriage initiatives…
In 1996, the Catholic bishops in the U.S. expressed that teaching this way:
We oppose attempts to grant the legal status of marriage to a relationship between
persons of the same-sex. No same-sex union can realize the unique and full potential which the marital relationship expresses.. For this reason, our opposition to “same-sex marriage” is not an instance of unjust discrimination or animosity towards homosexual person.
It looks like we have the same Cinops who are in the effort to procure abortion funding in the Health Care are also promoting to change the legal status of marriage in direct contradiction to the teaching of the Catholic Church. Besides Rep. Rose DeLauro (D-CT) and Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), we have five from California. They are:
Rep. Xavier Becerra (D, CA-31), Rep. George Miller (D, CA-7), Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA-34), Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-39), and Rep. Diane Watson (D, CA-33).

Socialism - Questions and Answers
SOCIALISM – Questions and Answers
Preface:
David Goldstein is the author of this book: “Autobiography of a Campaigner for Christ,” Roman Catholic Books, P.O. Box 2286, Fort Collins, CO 80522. The book has the Imprimatur of William Cardinal O’Connell Archbishop of Boston, 1936. David is a convert from Judaism and Socialism: His prologue reads: 30 years in the Catholic Church; 30 years of battle for truth against error; 30 years of religious and moral certitude that have been a joy; that is the story I am to unfold.
1.)Assertion: “You must know, Mr. Goldstein, that Socialism is like all young movements, it lacks something, but it should not therefore be condemned.
Answer: - No, not so young. The modern Socialist movement dates from 1948 when its fathers and founders – Marx and Engels – wrote the Communist Manifesto; it is nearly three-quarters of a century old. But young or old, I agree with you it does lack something. It lacks the very thing it pretends to have, a sound foundation. It lacked right-reason from its birth for it was sired by Atheism and it is being reared in rebellion. It is what Socialism lacks that I am showing to this audience, namely, Christian principles. It is totally lacking in love of God and love of our country. 373
2.) Question: - “Has the Pope ever condemned socialism?"
Answer: - Yes, Leo XIII issued an encyclical in 1878 in which he calls it a “pest.” In 1891, Pope Leo issued two more encyclicals against Socialism. All three were reaffirmed by Pope Pius X, who said Leo XIII’s pronouncements are not to be departed from in the smallest degree. In his first encyclical, recently issued, our present Holy Father, Pope Benedict XV, condemned Socialism. (1930’s) 379
3.) Question: - “If a Catholic cannot consistently be a Socialist, why does not the Church throw out those who belong to the Socialist Party?”
Answer: - Because the Catholic Church is composed of sinners as well as saints. The Church says that temperance is the law. Yet, unhappily, some of her children are drunkards. You may as well ask why does she not throw them out of the fold. No, the Church loves the sinners and the saints. She hopes by her prayers, her counsels, and her sacraments to make saints of us all… 380
4.) Question: “Why will a Catholic become a Socialist?”
Answer: - Generally because he knows not what Socialism is. Why, 95 per cent of the persons who join the Socialist movement do not know what its teachings really are. They are like a young man I met out West, who talking to a priest said: “Father, I’ve become a Socialist.” “But what do you mean by becoming a Socialist?” said the priest smiling. “Well, Father, I mean I’m going to become sociable,” said the young man…
5.) Question: - “How is it possible for a man consistently to call himself a Catholic and, at the same time belong to an organization which circulates officially books denying a belief in God and advocating doctrines against the Christian concept of marital relationship?” Answer: (Mr. White) I’ll answer that. It’s because we believe men have free will and understanding. We therefore circulate those books to allow everyone to judge for himself.” Retort: - Don’t say we, say I, for real Socialists do not believe in free-will. I am glad you have that much of your Catholic faith left in your heart. But remember these are gifts from God and God did not give them to you for the purpose of distributing books that deny His existence, and to propagate atheism and free love… 381

Ref, Palin-Farah ticket (Speakers) at 1st National Tea-Party Convention – WorldNetDaily – posted Jan. 5, 2010
1.) Prologue: As a humble pro-life activist and conservative, I have participated in at least 4 tea parties in Orange County. I have a great respect and belief for what they are doing. Look at their signs and what they are saying!
Tea parties ring out freedom, truth and justice. We can be forever free and young as a nation provided we remain true to our Constitution, Declaration of Independence and our Founding Fathers. The progressives who control the Democratic Party do not believe in the above. We have historically fought for the freedom of other nations; and today we will fight for our own country’s freedom.
Thanks to President Obama and his czars we are a pro-life country with 40% Conservative, 36% Moderate, and 21 % Liberal. We do not want abortion coverage as part of our health care system. We want the conscience clause protection for our doctors and health care workers. We want the special status of marriage between a man and woman recognized and not down-graded.
One hopes the negative outcomes of the above will not occur. If it does, the CINOP - Delenda Est. He will be voted out of office in November. Furthermore, we must target the Attorney General Eric Holder for wrong-headed decisions in 2009. Eric Holder goes back to the Clinton years. Remember Elian Gonzalez. In Orange County, I was a tea party protester. Educational protests pay off! Where do you think the 500 votes for Bush over Gore’s presidency came from in Florida in 2000?
Truth is a breadth of fresh air. Political correctness is often half-truths and lies. It is a means for liberal indoctrination and control of our people. We need to take a second look at tea parties. We do not win with one hand tide behind our backs.
2.) WorldNetDaily News:
Tea Party Nation will host the first national tea party convention from Feb. 4 to Feb. 6 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. Sarah Palin and WND founder Joseph Farah will be some of the speakers. The Tea Party Express will also arrive in Nashville for the convention. Additional sponsors of the conference include American Liberty Alliance, Tea Party Emporium, the Leadership Institute, National Taxpayers Union, American Majority, Surge USA and Eagle Forum. The 3 main goals of this convention are:
a)Organizers plan to equip attendees with information, effective tools and techniques they can bring back to their groups.
b)The convention will help tea party leaders from across the nation network and make connection with people in the movement.
c)The event is intended to provide some unity within the tea party movement so leader may work together toward a common goal.

Taking a Stand & Mark Your Calendar 1 of 2
In pursuit to the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, January 7, 2010
There is excitement in the air for this year, this month and the months ahead.
First, a message from Fr. Frank Pavone, Priests for Life: Second, the Tea Party Nation will host the first national tea party convention from Feb. 4 to Feb. 6 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn. Third, Volunteer training for telephoning and precinct work. Vote out the culture of death office holders.
First: Letter from Priests for Life@xmr3.com – 1/5/2010 to gmkubeck@aol.com
Dear Friend,
Congress wants to force you to pay for abortion!
In so doing it has thumbed its nose at you and the majority of your fellow Americans. Fortunately, this fight is far from over. But in order for you to protect the youngest members of our human family from those anti-life extremists who seek to destroy them, you need to:
1.Join me and the people of life in making this New Year’s Resolutions:
I commit myself never to be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement and never to stop defending life until all my brothers and sisters are protected, and our nation once again becomes a nation with liberty and justice and just for some, but for all!
2.Renew your commitment to Priests for Life through prayer and contributions…
Make no mistake: The so-called “health care reform” bill that Congress is about to pass is a death sentence for our unborn brothers and sisters.
a) Don’t take my word for it. Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, Chairman of the US Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities, said that there is a “fundamental problem” with the Senate’s Christmas Eve version of “health care reform”:
“Despite repeated claims to the contrary, it does not comply with longstanding Hyde restrictions on federal funding of elective abortions and health plans that include them.”
b) The editors of National Review Online went even further & issued this analysis:
“If this bill passes … abortion rates will increase … This bill radically revises the status quo in a pro-abortion direction … The Senate bill implicitly authorizes the secretary of health and human services to require that all private health plans cover elective abortions…. There is no denying that the legislation makes abortion more accessible … Washington is giving a lavish gift to the abortion lobby after years of declining public support for it.”…
Mark your Calendar:
1) Fr. Frank Pavone will be a speaker on Wed. Feb. 3, 2010 7:30 – 9:00 P.M.:
Marywood Auditorium – 2811 E. Villa Real Dr. Orange, Ca. 92867 Contact Roxanne Payton at 714-282-3105.
2) View the yearly March for Life gathering in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 22, 2010. It will be televised again this year on EWTN and the March in San Francisco on a Saturday in Jan. will have the attendance of Fr. Pavone and Priests for Life.

The Politics of Health Care - 2
The Politics of Health Care - 2
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Monday, January 4, 2010
Ref. National Right to Life News- November/December, 2009
“Scorecard of Catholics in Congress” – Catholic Advocate – Morley Institute
U.S. House Adopts NRLC-backed Stupak-Pitts Amendment, 240-194
On November 7, 2009, during consideration of a massive bill to restructure the health care system, H.R.3962, the House of Representatives adopted an NRLC-backed amendment proposed by Rep, Bart Stupak (D-Mi.) & Rep. Rep. Joe Pitts(R)
The Stupak-Pitts Amendment removed two major pro-abortion components from H.R. 3962. Specifically, the amendment (1) would permanently prohibit a proposed new federal government insurance program, the “public option,” from paying for abortion, except to save the life of the mother, or in cases of rape and incest; and (2) would permanently prohibit the use of proposed new federal premium subsidies (“affordability credits”) to purchase private insurance plans that cover abortion…
The Stupak-Pitts Amendment was approved, 240 to 194. The amendment was supported by 176 Republicans and 64 Democrats. It was opposed by 194 Democrats. One Republican withheld his support by voting “present.” House roll call no. 884.
Let’s take a look at the vote of the California Catholic-label Democrat Congresspersons. Only three of the 13 voted for the Stupak-Pitts amendment. Who are they? They are Congressmen Joe Costa, Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa. Maybe we will have a conversion of the 3 from their past votes against the Catholic position on 1) Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act-passage (110th) 2) Marriage Amendment Act (109th) 3) Coercive abortion/United Nations Population Fund (109th). It is interesting to note that in another large state, New York, not one of the 8 Catholic-label Democratic Congresspersons voted for Stupak-Pitts amendment.
The Senate and House bill are now in conference. The situation is as serious as what occurred with the Roe vs. Wade decision on Jan. 22nd, 1973. We must keep the Hyde amendment. “We didn’t try for more than what is current law,” Stupak said. “A number of pro-choice Democrats voted with us for that reason.”
The polling on the matter of funding abortions is disturbing. Evangelicals oppose funding 91-6, Protestants opposed 80-15, and Catholics oppose it by a 75-2l percent. That 21% support by Catholics is sad. I guess that’s where the con- front organizations for CINO politicians receive their support. Check it out on Google.

Mosher of pri@pop.org stated poignantly in “Population Research Institute”12-24-2009: “Moreover, since federal law trumps state law, the bill would also overturn existing laws restricting abortion. Looked at this way, the “health care” bill is kind of a back-door Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA)… enormous power to the executive branch… Obama’s health czar… A final flaw in the current bill is its lack of protection for freedom of conscience. Language prohibiting discrimination against health care providers who decline to provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions is nowhere to be found… and abortion masquerading as a “health care” bill. It must be stopped.”

U.S. House Adopts NRLC-backed Stupak-Pitts Amendment, 240-194
On November 7, 2009, during consideration of a massive bill to restructure the health care system, H.R.3962, the House of Representatives adopted an NRLC-backed amendment proposed by Rep, Bart Stupak (D-Mi.) & Rep. Rep. Joe Pitts(R)
The Stupak-Pitts Amendment removed two major pro-abortion components from H.R. 3962. Specifically, the amendment (1) would permanently prohibit a proposed new federal government insurance program, the “public option,” from paying for abortion, except to save the life of the mother, or in cases of rape and incest; and (2) would permanently prohibit the use of proposed new federal premium subsidies (“affordability credits”) to purchase private insurance plans that cover abortion…
The Stupak-Pitts Amendment was approved, 240 to 194. The amendment was supported by 176 Republicans and 64 Democrats. It was opposed by 194 Democrats. One Republican withheld his support by voting “present.” House roll call no. 884.
Let’s take a look at the vote of the California Catholic-label Democrat Congresspersons. Only three of the 13 voted for the Stupak-Pitts amendment. Who are they? They are Congressmen Joe Costa, Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa. Maybe we will have a conversion of the 3 from their past votes against the Catholic position on 1) Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act-passage (110th) 2) Marriage Amendment Act (109th) 3) Coercive abortion/United Nations Population Fund (109th). It is interesting to note that in another large state, New York, not one of the 8 Catholic-label Democratic Congresspersons voted for Stupak-Pitts amendment.
The Senate and House bill are now in conference. The situation is as serious as what occurred with the Roe vs. Wade decision on Jan. 22nd, 1973. We must keep the Hyde amendment. “We didn’t try for more than what is current law,” Stupak said. “A number of pro-choice Democrats voted with us for that reason.”
The polling on the matter of funding abortions is disturbing. Evangelicals oppose funding 91-6, Protestants opposed 80-15, and Catholics oppose it by a 75-2l percent. That 21% support by Catholics is sad. I guess that’s where the con- front organizations for CINO politicians receive their support. Check it out on Google.

U.S. Senate Rejects NRLC-Backed Nelson-Hatch Amendment – 54 to 45
On December 8, 2009, during consideration of a massive bill to restructure the health care system, H.R. 3590, the U.S. Senate rejected an amendment offered by pro-life senators Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), which was supported by NRLC, by a vote of 54 to 45
The bill under consideration, proposed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), contains a number of pro-abortion provisions, including language that would result in funding of abortions by a new federal insurance program (the “public option”) and federal SUBSIDIES to help pay for private insurance plans that cover elective abortion.
The Nelson-Hatch Amendment would have prohibited funding of abortion by the government insurance program, and prohibited federal subsidies for private plans that cover abortion (with exceptions for abortions in case of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother)…
38 Republicans and 7 Democrats voted against killing the amendment. 52 Democrats and 2 Republicans voted to kill the amendment.
WHAT DOES ALL OF THE ABOVE MEAN? Well we had one Catholic-label Republican senator (Susan Collins of Maine) vote to kill this pro-life amendment. And we had only one Catholic label Democratic senator vote for the pro-life amendment. His name was Robert Casey of Pa.
WHY DID THIS AMENDMENT FAIL? WE HAD THE FOLLOWING CATHOLIC-LABEL DEMOCRATIC SENATORS VOTE TO KILL THE PRO-LIFE AMENDMENT. THEY ARE:
CHRIS DODD – CONNECTICUT --- CLAIRE McCASKILL - MISSOURI
RICHARD DURBIN – ILLINOIS --- JACK REED – RHODE ISLAND
TOM HARKIN – IOWA --- PATRICK LEAHY – VERMONT
MARY LANDRIEU – LOUISIANA --- MARIA CANTWELL – WASHINGTON
BARBARA MIKULSKI – MARYLAND --- PATTY MURRAY - WASHINGTON
JOHN KERRY –-- MASSACHUSETTS
THE NELSON-HATCH AMENDMENT WAS DEFEATED BY THE VOTES OF CATHOLIC-LABEL DEMOCRATIC SENATORS. SHOULD NOT THIS BE HEADLINE NEWS IN CATHOLIC PUBLICATIONS COUNTRY-WIDE?

What was true about 100 years ago is true today! – Ref. David Goldstein, Autobiog. of a Campaigner for Christ - Editorial in the “Boston Journal” May 25, 1903
Socialist’s Severe Arraignment of Socialism “Yet, we are free to say that we have never read a severer arraignment of socialism that advanced by this man (David Goldstein) who has come from the inside to the outside.”
1.) “Letter of Resignation to Mass. State Committee Socialist Party, Hon. James F. Carey, Chairman, Mr. S.E. Putney, Boston, May 23, 1903
After a lapse of eight years of active work upon the soap-box, on the lecture platform, in debate and in the press, in behalf of what I had understood to be the principles of socialism; After 8 years of work as an organizer and candidate of socialist parties; after 8 years of study of the alleged scientific basis of socialism, namely Karl Marx’ “Capital,” now, when I feel competent to expound its doctrinal points, I have come to the point where I desire to terminate my connection with socialist movement.
I am convinced that it is not a bona-fide political and economic effort, that it would gain political power to the end of dissolving the social – religious – civic – economic and family relationship which now exists – which have cost man countless ages in upbuilding.
Careful study of the underlying causes of discord and disruption which are of constant recurrence, not only within the socialist parties of the U.S. but also in every country in which socialism has taken up its propaganda, leads me to the conviction that the attitude of negation to all that is fundamental in human affairs – the denial of God – the opposition to the state – the disruption of monogamic marriage – does not nor can ever lead to a coherent political party with constructive programme…
I am convinced that socialism, as organized internationally, stands for the entire breakdown of the individual standards of moral responsibility; that the socialist philosophy of “economic determinism” stands for the substitution of religious principles by social standards of ethics set up upon the basis of mere physical satisfaction…
Socialism according to the authorities which I have cited (Karl Marx and Frederick Engels…) stands for the dissolution of civil law – for the dissolution of political action – in short, for the abolition of the state. These socialist authorities declare they “have no respect for the present marriage system,” they stand for the abolition of marriage. The children?...
I have for months been engaged in collecting material for a book which, with the help of Almighty God, I will in the near future give to the public which will prove to the candid mind (if facts count of anything) that a vote cast for socialism is a vote cast for the destruction of those institutions which promote and sustain civilization, namely, the Church, the State and the Monogamic family..
Respectfully, David Goldstein, Boston
2,) Comment letter by Samuel Gompers, President, “American Federation of Labor”, Washington, D.C. May 21, 1904 - to Mr. David Goldstein, Boston, Massachusetts,
“I beg to say that I have read with keenest interest your book on “Socialism, The Nation of Fatherless Children,” and have no hesitancy in saying that the book is not only timely, but an excellent contribution to the literature on labor question and the labor movement.”
As it occurred in Russia: 1.) Civic Tyranny, the dictatorship of the proletariat: 2.) Political Tyranny, permitting only one political party to exist – the Communist Party: 3.) Press Tyranny in monopolistic control of printing presses, … 4.) Speech Tyranny: Free speech is free only for those persons who line up with the powers that be… 5.) Educational Tyranny: considered necessary in the making of the socialist mass-mind… etc.
