(Minghui.org) When the United States was founded, the republic system explicitly opposed monarchy, and emphasized the rule of law and the separation of government powers. Later the democratic system came about and emphasized the direct and indirect participation of the people in decision-making – this focus on popular sovereignty and majority rule rationalized the mass importation of illegal aliens and their voting in U.S. elections.
The democratic system seems to be compatible with the republic system. While a republic emphasizes non-monarchy – power is exercised by the people or their representatives, and leadership is not hereditary – it focuses on checks and balances within the government structure.
Many people in the U.S. think that communism is something faraway or non-existent. This may not be the case. People need to wake up to the fact that the specter of communism has been manipulating mankind with the goal of destroying it, and the United States is the one thing that stands in its way. To reach its goal, the specter has been slowly infiltrating every aspect of the U.S. and gradually turning it into a communist country.
To better understand how close communism is to being realized in the United States, we should take a look at how communism manifests in the free world from the following aspects:
The education system in the U.S. prohibits open prayer and teaches evolution and atheism. Man is categorized as part of the animal kingdom, and is encouraged to express his beast-like nature instead of following traditional morals.
In the spiritual communities, modern science and religious leaders have replaced the roles of God and the Creator. Family values are no longer encouraged, instead, abandoning family responsibility, promiscuity, abortion, and divorce are promoted. Parents are deprived of the right to educate their own children.
Through building a big government and unions, the government controls people’s lives, education, medical care, housing, and trade. People thus become overly reliant on the government. The influence of communism will continue to expand until it dictates all aspects.
In the U.S., the republic system is being replaced by the democratic system. Meanwhile socialism or communism is being injected into the society through violence. A group of people is using violence to overthrow the current social system so that they can freely steal, destroy, kill and seize taxpayers’ property. Hatred, violence, and fear have become part of people’s lives.
The Naked Communist (1958) by W. Cleon Skousen exposed the 45 goals in the communist agenda that target mostly the United States. They are:
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.5. Extension of long. term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites.6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.7. Grant Recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one. world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent office.15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.18. Gain control of all student newspapers.19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book. review assignments, editorial writing, and policy. making positions.21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV and motions pictures.22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”23. Control art critics and directions of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive meaningless art.”24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old. fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a world. wide basis.30. Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of “the big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.32. Support any social movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.33. Eliminate laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special. interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems.43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self. government.44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.45. Repeal the Connally Reservation so the U.S. cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
The list helps us see that the majority of these communist goals have been realized in the U.S. The truth concerns the future of the U.S. and the harsh reality mankind currently faces.
