    So-called “pride” clothing for kids from a transgender designer who sells Satan-themed products? Where did all of this come from? Clearly, American corporations are transmission belts for satanism and communism. But the communists exported Cultural Marxism to the United States. Many conservatives do not understand this.

    Concern is growing in a conservative, remote corner of Oregon as people start arriving in a national forest for a Rainbow Family of Living Light annual gathering, a counter-culture get-together expected to draw thousands. Officials with the Malheur National Forest said this week that around 600 Rainbow Family members are already camped at a gathering site near Flagtail Meadow and that between 10,000 and 30,000 are likely arriving by July 4, when the multi-day event peaks with a prayer for world peace. People with small children, those with disabilities and senior citizens were among those who wrote to the event's...

    Pilgrim Governor William Bradford described in “Of Plymouth Plantation,” that sharing “all profits & benefits … in ye common stock,” regardless of how hard each individual worked, did not work: The failure of that experiment of communal service, which was tried for several years, and by good and honest men, proves the emptiness of the theory of Plato and other ancients, applauded by some of later times, – that the taking away of private property, and the possession of it in community, by a commonwealth, would make a state happy and flourishing; as it they were wiser than God. …

    It is every parent’s worst nightmare, and according to a report on Police State Daily and the Medical Kidnapping site; for one homeschooling family in Kentucky, it has come true. On May 6, Kentucky homesteading Naugler family had their ten children taken into the custody of the state and are now fighting to regain custody and to prove their innocence. According to the family’s facebook blog page, Blessed Little Homestead, and other sources above, the police showed up, asked to see the children, and when the mother asked to see a warrant and what the charges were, the sheriff proceeded...

    Henry Wallace’s Progressive Party of the 1940s was nothing but a tool the Communist Party USA – and by extension, the Soviet Union. Today’s Democratic Party is also heavily infiltrated by the now pro Chinese Communist Party USA and their almost as equally extreme comrades from Democratic Socialists of America. Here’s an interesting picture from the 1940s. Henry Wallace chatting with Chicago journalist and Progressive Party supporter Vernon Jarrett. It turns out that around this time Vernon Jarrett was a leader of the Chicago chapter of American Youth for Democracy – the youth wing of the Communist Party. Chicago communist...

    My unvarnished view: Your representative American Christian family gives the U.S. a good reputation. It’s those crazy left-liberal hippies, and their enablers, Hollywood should keep an eye on. I’m talking some crazy mother-----s (sometimes in the literal sense). From The Sunday Times (UK), Jun 04, 2006: IT was meant to promote peace and love, but ended in a hail of bullets. America’s counter- culture has come back under the spotlight after the founder of a New York commune was repeatedly shot by an unhinged former member last week. As Jeff Gross was recovering from gunshot wounds to his chest and...

    I write this especially for our Maoist brothers. While the US is commonly vilified as the bastion of capitalism, it is little known that the US too has tried communism. It was only when communism failed that property rights and capitalism took hold. Let us go back into history and see what lessons America learned from its relatively short dalliance with Maoism much before the ‘great leader' himself was born. The year was 1607. The first 104 settlers had arrived from Europe in Jamestown in the Virginia Tidewater region of the US in May. They found soil which was fertile...

    Years ago, when a civilian worker at one of the nation's largest Air Force bases was working for a general, she watched as a team was formed to come up with a better system to handle mail. Mail to the base included letters from multi-starred generals and directives that had deadlines. The "process improvement team," also known as a PIT, had a roster of middle managers, mostly civilians, who spent the better part of a month coming up with a plan. But instead of streamlining the process, they complicated it. "I was horrified," the woman says. "There used to be...

    Hippie commune thrives on capitalism SUMMERTOWN, TENN.--Three decades after the golden age of the hippie, about 200 of them are still thriving in a self-supporting commune that operates a midwife service, a soy products company, a mushroom grower and a factory producing personal radiation detectors. Known simply as The Farm, the sprawling collective about an hour southwest of Nashville has outlived nearly all of its tie-dyed contemporaries with a mix of entrepreneurship and idealism, and a touch of sweat. Stephen Gaskin, the former writing instructor who brought his flock to this 1,800-acre site back in 1971, puts it plainly. "We...

    Arson suspect may be linked to other attacks Housemates say suspect is not a terrorist By JANNISE JOHNSONSTAFF WRITER Saturday, September 13, 2003 - POMONA — The garden of the Regenerative Co-Operative of Pomona is in what Kathe Todd-Brown calls typical summer disarray. Some of the herbs are overgrown, the banana trees hang low with fruit nearly ready for harvest and a few of the ornamentals need to be cut back. But there was more disarray Saturday, both inside the co-op and within the minds of those who dwell there. Authorities arrested their housemate, Joshua Thomas Connole, early Friday...
