Oh, ok. I guess we are too stupid to recognize when someone, even our enemy, sees flaws in where we are headed. Great logic. Pravda, by the way should be pretty good at spotting Marxism...

Historically, Pravda should be better at spotting Marxism and naming it anything but.

Disgusting article.

Why is this Commie trash on Free Republic?

I think this article just reinforces what we here already know. That our "mainstream media" is running cover for 0bama, no matter how incompetent/corrupt he is.

Here we have Pravda...Pravda, the mouthpiece for the former Soviet Communist Party, warning us that 0bama is systematically destroying our great nation. If you would have said, several years ago, that Pravda would be running stories actually trying to help the United States not fall into Communism, you would have been called nuts.

I agree about it being disgusting. Disgusting that we have to rely on Pravda and other mainstream news sources outside of the U.S. to objectively report the truth. Sadly, I don't see any signs of objective journalism on the horizon, at least not in the U.S.

OK, I admit the article contains some truths.

However it is very annoying to see Pravda articles repeatedly posted on FR.

Many times in recent months.

No accident, IMO.
FR is a great source of info for all our enemies.

I agree with Nasher in Post #13. When our task masters put up our own Iron Curtain, then such opinion pieces from other countries will be a thing of the past.

First off, I do not understand your sentence.

Secondly, holy crap, do you not see some truth in the Communist Morons are saying about where we are? That’s ALL I am saying. Just because it’s Pravda doesn’t mean there is no validity....

No the messenger is not Pravda.

This article was reprinted in Pravda.

The original piece is here

http://mat-rodina.blogspot.com/2009/04/american-capitalism-gone-with-whimper.html.

By the way, there is more truth in this piece than you will find on Fox news or the AP.

A lot of other truth on Rodinas blog as well.

Monday, April 13, 2009 The American Solution is to Further Rob the People

Wading through the alphabet soup of American governmental plans to save the private banks and their uber private bank, the Federal Reserve, one can only come to a single conclusion: since day one of the crisis, indeed, from the very creation of the bubble that could and would only lead to the crisis, this has been only about stealing every single kapeky of the people's money, their rights and powers and has been orchestrated by both branches of the One Party Two Branch system of American body politics. As I stated in The Hypocrisy of American "Democracy" and in Whom Does the US Congress Serve, the American public is living in a serious state of denial, the English along with them, if they for a second believe that their government has their best interest in mind, on paper or even as a fuzzy conception.

It is impossible for this author to accept that the heads of American and thus much of the world's finance did not know that the loose money, low interest policies and the absolute lack of any lending standards, would not lead to a bubble. Further, as the bubble grew and the few Casandra's issued their calls, it is again, impossible for this author to believe that again, these masters of national and international finance had no idea that the bubble would explode and lead to total collapse. Only an uneducated and naive fool, the general body of the Anglosphere public, was absolutely clueless.

Furthermore, as the implosion got underway and all signals pointed to nothing but an absolute route, it is again, impossible for the author to believe that the most obvious solution was unknown and other solutions that would only insure the collection of trillions in dollars and debt, in the hands of the few greedy men about whom Woodrow Wilson lamented in his 1919 autobiography, would not occur.

The stated goal of all of these bogus thefts, excuse me, bailouts, has been:

1. the stabilization of the banks

2. the release of credit

3. the salvation of the economy and thus of the body citizenry

To this end, nothing has been accomplished but the absolute theft of $2-4 trillion dollars, depending on how one looks at the promises and obligations of the members of the One Party Two Branch system in DC to their owners in the Federal Reserve and Wall Street. That there has been no substantial change in any of the policies of either the Bush or Obama administrations, only upholds the basic fact of this theft. As I stated in The Six Evils of Wall Street and the Suffering of Humanity, the owners of the Federal Reserve, the masters of much of the hell unleashed upon humanity of the past 120 years, have practiced their art of theft very well indeed. Their last, up to this, most successful enterprise, was the rape of Russia, but even that, in comparison, to the schemes in America, is chump change.

If the goal was actually to accomplish these three points, as stated over and over and preached to the world, then the answer is quite simple. Please note, I, myself, do not subscribe to mass rescues and bailouts but to a strongly regulated, fair and flat inner market (please never confuse this with Free Trade, of which I am neither a prominent, nor lover off, but in fact a staunch enemy). Now the simple an intelligent thing to do, if the order of the day is to spend trillions, is to: one, set a dead line date, after which strict market regulations will go into effect, specifying the minimum criteria of loan generation. Second, investigations into criminal wrong doing should be launched and carried through on all banks involved, on insurance companies, and on scoring agencies. Lastly, all house mortgages, which are primary residences, should have been simply bought out by the government. That is correct, the government pays off the debt in one fell sweep and gives the certificate of ownership to the individual mortgage holders.

In effect, this saves the banks by wiping out their toxic assets (not to mention, all other holders of such debt), saves all the people who are in their homes and provides $500-$3,000 per month in each home owner's pocket to "stimulate" the economy of his or her choice. At the same time, strict legislation keeps this from happening again.

That the brightest minds of finance and the body politic could not or would not see this humble and simple and straight forward answer as the key answer, shows simply that this whole crisis is a rigged game, a final grab of all available wealth to an uber .5% and the 99.5% all be damned. And the reaction of the American public? Well, as I described in American Capitalism, Gone with a Whimper little more then the grumbling and desperate self delusion of a lost, misguided slave dreaming dreams of his uniqueness and freedom. A fool's desperate escape into flights of fantasy and distraction.

That there will never be a revolution or upheaval in the American lands, is beyond a doubt. The American people have neither the whits, the internal fortitude, nor the drive to suffer and sacrifice for their own and society's greatest good against their owners and betters. The ineffectual "tax payer" revolts, known as the tea parties, are nothing shy of a joke and most of the world must be laughing. One French protest march in Paris encompassed more people, in a nation of 1/4th the American population, then all of these hundreds of mini "revolts" combined, even if you multiply their sum total by a factor of 10. Is it really any surprise that Lenin stands proudly, towering in downtown Seattle, while his spiritual forefather sits upon a giant marble monument in DC, a white washed dictator named Lincoln?

To my Holy Motherland, I will say only what I said before: Russia Must Offer the World a Different Ideology and as such, be in the position to receive into her bossom those few of the Anglosphere peoples, those refugees from slavery, who show a will to fight the Marxist enslavement, that Russia herself threw off almost twenty years ago.

“Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

???”

S, pay no attention. There are the usual problems brewing between Moscow and Constantinople, this time in great measure over clearing up the irregular jurisdictional situation here and who will have the presvyia in the US. Currently, its the EP and the canons, arguably, say Constantinople. Moscow makes its claims based on being here first and being the biggest Orthodox church. My guess is that the author is a partisan of the MP. Change the name to a Greek one and you’d see the opposite sort of comment.

The real spiritual danger, S, is an autocephallous American Church.

I missed this on FR but I received it via email today. And yes, I’m forwarding this to as many non-freepers as possible. It should be republished for weekday FR readers.
