The Socialist International is a world-wide socialist organization. Their own website states as much. They claim to be a "...worldwide organization of social democratic, socialist and labor parties..."
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the biggest socialist organization in this country and it is the principal affiliate of the Socialist International. These folks are against the "evil" of "private profit" (read that wealth redistribution) and "race and gender discrimination" (read that in favour of homosexuality) among other things. You can read about them Here but I wouldn't recommend reading their stuff before breakfast.
At this point, many will be tempted to say "Well, that's interesting, but so what?" The "so what" of it is that you just might want to check to see if your congress person is a member of this socialist group. There are over fifty congress persons from several different states that belong to this organization. They come from all across the country, from Vermont, New York, and Massachusetts to California and Arizona, and from notable socialist enclaves in between, such as Illinois--the midwestern socialist paradise. Remember, these people in Congress are opposed to "private profit" (except for their own). They want all that is detrimental to these United States because they have some fuzzy Marxian theory of a "classless society" (with themselves in the top class), and they will verbally (for now) tar and feather anyone who dares to disagree with them as an "extremist." They claim to have a vision for a "more free, democratic...society" which really means that they want complete freedom to propagate their socialist dogma while restricting your right to oppose it. To grasp that fact, all you have to do is look at some of these recent town meetings where union thugs have been showing up to discourage those who want to question why these people are so anxious to shove Obama/Sotero's "health plan" down our throats. Their "more free" society goes in only one direction--theirs!
And now we come to Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives. This is the "lady" who has said, in regard to your firearms "We want them registered." As you have probably guessed by now, Ms. Pelosi belongs to the Democratic Socialists of America. Folks, your Speaker of the House in Washington is a socialist. Think about that. And, as for socialists in high places in our federal government, it is hardly the first time, although your "history" books tell you little of any of this. Ms. Pelosi and her socialist buddies in Congress will not, I repeat not, vote to or enact legislation that in any way favours true liberty or free enterprise. As socialists they are committed to removing such things rather than preserving them. You can get a list of the congress people that belong to this organization off their website
According to columnist Cliff Kincaid, Ms. Pelosi also has lots of "interesting" friends. One of them is Rep. Barbara Lee, a fellow congress person from California and a vocal apologist for Red Cuba. As head of the Congressional Black Caucus, Lee recently took a delegation to Cuba to meet with Castro and his brother. According to Mr. Kincaid: Lee "began her career in the California state legislature as a secret member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, a spin-off from the Communist Party. As a member of the staff of Rep. Ronald Dellums, Lee was shown to have been collaborating with communist officials on the island of Grenada, according to documents captured after the liberation of the island nation." Why wasn't she tried for treason with such evidence? Well, the same reason Bill Clinton wasn't impeached by the U S Senate. The feds have no real interest in prosecuting those among their own number who are guilty of anything. Just let it all slide and maybe the problem will be forgotten. Did these revelations of Lee's Communist connections bother Ms. Pelosi? Not on your tintype! In fact she and Rep. Lee have a mutual admiration society going that almost rivals that between Karl Marx and Abraham Lincoln.
Kincaid continued: "But even more interesting than the Barbara Lee connection is Pelosi's long-time friendship and association with Vincent and Vivian Hallinan, one of the most radical left-wing families in San Francisco over the course of five decades...Pelosi called Vivian Hallinan, who openly held socialist views, a 'pioneer' in a wide range of progressive causes'." You have to understand that the term "progressive" really means "pro-Communist." According to the book A Communese-English Dictionary by Professor Roy Colby, the term "progress" means "advancement toward collectivism or Communism." So, Pelosi's friends really sought to advance the cause of socialism or communism, as does Pelosi herself. You can check out Mr. Kincaid's article, written on June 17th, on Canada Free Press for even more information than I have room for here.
So, both the president and Speaker of the House are socialists, as are at least fifty members of Congress, and maybe more we don't know about yet. It would appear that the socialists have the country pretty much in tow. But, then, is this new? If you care to do a little checking (hint, don't use your old history books) back into our history here in "Post-America" you will find that the Secretary of the Interior during the Hayes administration, Carl Schurz, was also a socialist. Indeed, Mr. Schurz helped to write the Republican party platform in 1860. He was prominent among those Forty-Eighter socialists from Europe that so strongly supported Lincoln's aggression during the War of Northern Aggression. (See Donnie Kennedy's and my book Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists.
If you fast-forward from there to FDR's administration you will find references to Alger Hiss, who was a Communist in the U S State Department (along with several others). In fact, of the eighteen men from the State and Treasury Departments who helped to plan and promote the United Nations from 1939-45, it was later found that seventeen of the eighteen had been Communists. It would seem that, at least since the Lincoln administration, socialists and communists have been right at home in our federal government. Does that make you wonder? This is not a new thing, folks, and we've got to learn to get used to that. Those people have been busy undercutting the real foundations of this country since before 1860! There may not have been as many of them previously as there are now, but they've been there, mostly ignored. Many were appointed to their positions decades ago--but now we are busily electing socialists to Congress. It seems we have learned nothing since 1865--and that is part of the reason for our dilemma.
The patriotism of the 20th century was communism, and that trend continues into the 21st century. From Lincoln to Pelosi we advance further into socialism. May God have mercy upon us and help us to repent!
