The Establishment Mouthpiece Undermining American Culture
Bravo Blue ^ | 23 August 2026 | John Lucas

Posted on 08/24/2026 5:10:14 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Today we are seeing in real time a coordinated and concerted effort to undermine our Country’s history, traditions and institutions. It is part of the war waged in the “long march through institutions” that is the core of the campaign, in Barack Obama’s words, to “fundamentally transform[] the United States of America.” Nothing less than the total destruction of this country will be tolerated by those who are disciples of both totalitarian murderers from Mao Zedong to Che Guevera, and of the Ivy League sociologists, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.

A comprehensive discussion of this existential threat to Western Civilization would require a multi-volume study replete with hundreds of footnotes. My more modest aim here is to stimulate the reader’s thinking with some pertinent examples. Initially I had planned to focus on the Deep State’s capture of the Smithsonian Institution. But while preparing, my research led me to The New York Times’ 1619 Project. Rather than combine a discussion of both, I decided to address the 1619 Project first and will follow up with Part 2, discussing the capture of the Smithsonian Institution.

Regrettably, the attacks on our Country and its culture are so widespread that time and space do not permit a full discussion of even one limited example, such as the 1619 Project. This short article is just a starter that may alert you to some aspects that have escaped your notice and that, hopefully, may whet your interest.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

So you say our free enterprise system is “uniquely severe,” Professor? Some of the Kulaks of Ukraine or the peasants of Cambodia, North Korea, Cuba and other “socialist” paradises might like to have a word about that, if only they were still alive. This Cuban farmer would like a word, Professor.

So why is this poor farmer receiving last rites from a Catholic priest while members of the firing squad watch? He was just a farmer, but that means he likely was a landowner or perhaps just a poor small farmer. When Castro came to power, among other things he instituted what Bernie Sanders might characterize as “Democratic Socialist policies.” They included the seizure of all private land holdings larger than 167 acres and the transfer of massive amounts of land into state-run collectives. Although some smaller subsistence farmers were initially allowed to keep modest plots, they were heavily restricted and required to sell most of their harvests directly to the government at prices fixed by the government. This poor fellow had objected and refused to cooperate with the Castro regime.

So he was afforded socialist justice in the form of a brief four-minute trial led by Che Guevara. He was then immediately executed by the firing squad. Remember that the next time you see some fool wearing a Che Guevera t-shirt.

Socialism, communism, democratic socialism, national socialism... all the same crap.

In the end, you use the “self-perceived” have nots, the losers on the bottom end of the socioeconomic spectrum as useful idiots so that you can install a permanent ruling class of elites that ultimately govern in a totalitarian way. These elites once in power ignore concepts of morality or the more modern and enlightened philosophical ideas of there being a contract between the people and their government which is supposed to also represent them.

The dummies which support these ideas are “self perceived” underprivileged and poor. More than half of these adults are obese, they get health care paid for by others, education of children K-12 paid for by others, have a state of the art smartphone, 2 TV’s per family household on average, a car, AC, safe running water, and reliable electricity. They are kept safe from each other by a security apparatus which prevents these uncultured, uneducated, heathens and savages from killing each other or plundering stores as can sometimes be witnessed when this security apparatus fails to function as after Katrina or in Los Angeles when the power went out.

In the West, these “self perceived” underprivileged that support these ideas of creating an all powerful centralized government are really just dumb assholes that want to steal from their neighbor.

They do not care what the long term consequences are economically, how this impacts peoples rights and freedoms. They just want a “free” Obama-phone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRxH0b4LUTM

Barack Obama’s words, to 'fundamentally transform[] the United States of America.'

Any fool who voted for Obama and his "transformation" deserves any/all hell rained down on him/her - the rest of us certainly do not.

Unfortunately, "the rest of us" are becoming the minority - with rigged elections making up the rest.
