Dear Askel5,
For many years, I thought you were a bit of a nut. A very INTELLIGENT nut, but a nut nonetheless. Your constant harping about Gramscian politics was, to my mind, weird a little paranoid.
It turns out you were one hundred percent right. The move to destroy America has been very below-the-surface, highly organized, and extremely effective ... and the model has been, indeed, Antonio Gramsci's.
From the work Notes on Saul Alinsky and Neo-Marxism:
Remember that the primary influence for Obama's strategy comes from Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals." With that in mind..."Alinsky's tactics were based, not on Stalin's revolutionary violence, but on the Neo-Marxist strategies of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. Relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramsci's transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed the deliberate changes.
Like Alinsky, Mikhail Gorbachev followed Gramsci, not Lenin. In fact, Gramsci aroused Stalins's wrath by suggesting that Lenin's revolutionary plan wouldn't work in the West. Instead the primary assault would be on Biblical absolutes and Christian values, which must be crushed as a social force before the new face of Communism could rise and flourish. Malachi Martin gave us a progress report:
"By 1985, the influence of traditional Christian philosophy in the West was weak and negligible.... Gramsci's master strategy was now feasible. Humanly speaking, it was no longer too tall an order to strip large majorities of men and women in the West of those last vestiges that remained to them of Christianity's transcendent God."
This excerpt is the bread-and-meat section that tells me that you were prescient and well-versed in the tactics of our enemy. If there is any excuse on my part, I have only one: That which Matt Bracken refers to as the 'normality bias'. I am biased, as are most, to believe things will 'stay normal' and to discount sweeping conspiracies.
But I have awoken. Is it too late, I do not know. Can one man make a difference, I am unsure. Will it get much worse in America, absolutely.
So, this is an open letter to you to acknowledge my being incorrect, you being correct, and to ask you what a nation does to unwind this horrifying and seemingly inexorable push to Marxist/Fascist control.
Yours,
Laz
After digging around; it appears that it is only available to premium subscribers and on the DISH ‘Blaze’ network. I believe there will be a ‘live thread’ at 8...CB?
If I may?
Every society needs someone the rest of us can look at and say "I may be in bad shape but compared to Laz, I'm pretty normal..."
It is actually a key position absolutely necessary to a group's mental health and survival.
I have no clue what this means. Do you have any ideas, xzins??
People can’t tolerate freedom when they are too insecure, ignorant and immoral to surive and thrive on their own and in support of their offspring. Freedom is a way of living and thinking - American.
The American culture the left has systematically cleansed in the name of zero tolerance “justice”, abortion, environmentalism, race, sex, social justice, progressed to a natural conclusion of ending constitutional freedom - our way of life.
Could you tell the Indians to undo what damage the European settlers did to their way of life and culture? Look at Americans as the Indians and the liberal elite/globalists as the invaders. This successful assault on the US for generations, won’t be fixed.
I was just kidding. I have no problems reading several paragraphs of good info. However, that video series you linked to looks interesting. Thanks.
My wife and I had this exact discussion last night
well put.

Good post.
If Laz starts up a “Spiritual Warriors” unit, I’ll enlist.
Are you trying to preach only to the choir or to all of America?
The choir is used to feasting on the whole elephant.
The rest of the country (and humanity for that matter) needs to eat the elephant one sandwich at a time.

All five parts are worth the time, with the fifth having Griffin's idea of how to oppose the slide.
You’re welcome, FRiend. I appreciate that.
What cemented it for me, oddly, was watching the youtubes by Yuri Bezemenov. I think that was back, even, when Bush was still president. As I watched them, every hair stood up on the back on my neck. Instantly, all the bits and pieces came together and I understood exactly how we got here and where we were.
You're on. Chocolate chip? oatmeal raisin?
Ping to a more recent Griffin address.

You do not disappoint....
Well, be my guest...
if putting someone else down makes you feel better...
I’ll take a pass, thank you.
YES
And applying that at the spiritual level, communism is arguably Revelation’s corrupt-government “beast” (out of the sea) and Islam is the corrupt-religion “beast” (out of the earth). The two work together at the end, in service to the dragon, Satan.
The next step in the process, I believe, is that the religious beast is given power to determine who can buy and sell. Does that sound to you like Islamic finance? The mark of the beast is 666, and I’ve seen Muslim claims that 666 is the symbol for the Quran.
If my understanding is correct (and I don’t know for sure whether it is or not), we could be in for some very, very bad times - where the stuff happening to Christians at the hands of the Islamists spreads to the entire world, with Islam controlling who gets to eat and who either starves or is executed.
This truly IS a spiritual battle.
Therein lies the problem. Humor need not be blue, my friend.
Great discussion all around, thanks.
