Everyone is wondering how our country has gotten into the sorry state of affairs we find it in today. The answer is both simple but difficult for the average citizen to understand, much less, accept. The process to correct our problems is difficult.

Today we have a President who openly threatens members of the opposing party. We have patriotic citizens languishing in prison for, supposedly, committing minor offenses during a political protest rally. Once highly respected departments of our government such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, Department of Justice, DOJ, Central Investigation, CIA and others are now willing partners in suppressing any and all opposition to the policies of the current administration.

The reason for all this is communism is at war with freedom. That’s the simple answer. It is also hard to believe. After all, the Soviet Union dissolved, the Berlin Wall came down, and we are deeply involved with China. So how can communism be causing all this upheaval in our country?

I have written many articles about communism, from how China holds power at the United Nations, UN, and how that organization sponsors the New World Order, NWO. Those articles, covering the UN’s Agenda 21, Visions 20/30 and 20/50, showed how the UN, and therefor China, plans to rule the world of the future.

So how do we defeat communism? We must educate ourselves about our Republic. No we are not a democracy and don’t want to be one. Our Public School System is a disgrace. We once had the best schools in the world. Everyone wanted to be educated in the US. Nowadays the Department of Education teaches our children that our country is racist and undeserving to hold a leadership role in the world. One of the first things the Communist Manifesto states is that “in order to have a successful revolution you must first change the culture of the targeted country”.

That is exactly what is happening here. Drag Queen shows, taking down historical statues, renaming places and even sports teams occurs daily and all with the blessing if not active participation of our government. The same is true of rioting by Black Lives Matters and the so called anti fascist ANTIFA.

The only way to defeat communism is to understand how communists want to take over the US. Question those seeking election to public office to ensure they understand what is at stake and are willing to uphold their Oath of Office. You must also be willing to sacrifice your freedom and maybe your life to preserve this Republic we love. After all from time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Let us hope the fight for freedom remains on the political battlefield.
