Even the Russians Can See it...

Too bad all the sheep in the USA cannot, or refuse to.

American capitalism gone with a whimper
http://english.pravda.ru/img/pravda-logo.gif
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America .

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America 's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK 's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Ask yourself, how many "Czars" does our government now have?

[fmb]

Wow. That's a pretty powerful article from a once powerful foe. Even though there is much truth in the article, you have to dig a little to get through the political bs the writer tossed in. Still, I think this is an amazing view; if this is from our former foe, what does the rest of the world think?

"Pravda: fueling American dissent since 1917"

Opinions are like assholes: everyone's got one and they all stink

So consider the source before getting incensed, JRH

And fmb, I wouldn't necessarily consider them a "former" foe; they have submarines parked off of the northeastern seaboard as I type this post.

If not a "foe" per se, then certainly a rival nation with interests beyond its own borders. Much like ourselves, but that is another thread topic entirely.

Well, I am not incensed, I am just pointing out that it is amazing how Americans cannot see what is happening, yet the Russians have already seen it.

As for the Submarines, I would not worry.
1st, they are only the "Akula" class subs, fast attack. These vessels are for chasing other subs or tracking Carrier Battle Groups.
2nd, they are noisy boats and our sailors can track them fairly easily.
3rd, they have been doing this for years, and only on a slow news day is this brought up.

True, you want quiet? Try the US Ohio class or probably the Seawolf and its progeny.

Could be worse though, could be Chinese subs. Now THOSE suckers are noisy.

Shhh, don't tell everyone!!!!

Actually, the Russian Boomers are pretty good, but the size of those bastards helps to find them. Hell, an Aircraft carrier under water!!!!

But good is a somewhat relative thing.

If I recall correctly, US subs practice by trying to track Ohios. Next to those, most anything is pie by comparison. At least anything foreign that is...
