Don’t know how to fast forward?
There is some interesting info in the video. One thing it proves is marxism will never stop trying to spread its evil among free people.
Some people don’t believe in evil or the devil. Or God for that matter. Evil’s relentless pursuit of man is the clearest evidence of God.

Somebody once told me — this was about 1990, when the Soviet Empire was collapsing — that the durability/power of “Marxism” sprang from the concept of atheism. Marxism *is* atheism, applied to economics. So as long as there are atheists, there will be Marxists. The only difference is, they might — as political trends come and go — have to come up with a new name.

Glenn did a good job with showing how various groups join together to push socialism and how they gain control.

Yes the State becomes God.

Thanks.

20 minutes in and I'm remembering why I liked him before I didn't. He should audition for a role in KFC's ad campaign.

Just a thought as I'm watching this, at the 1:00 mark he talks about how Czechoslovakia was turned from democracy and a free market to communism in just 3 short years. That couldn't happen here with our long history of independence, liberty and capitalism. That's why it's taken since the 40's to progress to what we are witnessing today.

I started really paying attention to all this in 2007 after becoming aware of Obama and after reading Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism - The Secret History of the American
Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning.

Oh, and McCarthy wasn't wrong.

Much harder to do in the USA. Socialists usually try one industry at a time. Venezuela was a pretty healthy economy country and look what happened there.

I was also going to ask when Glenn Beck became Colonel Sanders.

He had me until he turned into Jerry Falwell. That aside he just put together all the disjointed things I've read about since 2007. Except for the Czech event most of this is not new to me but I've never seen it all tied together so well before. I think most of us are aware of the so called communist manifesto, most of us are familiar with Alinksy and his Rules for Radicals, most of us remember the atrocities committed in the name of communism and socialism. We largely understand that socialism is never a good thing yet we go about our lives largely ignorant that all of this is an active movement within our own country coalescing toward a defined goal. This illustrates that.
