Yes. In 1935, Antonio Gramsci, the communist who invented the idea of a Long March through the institutions, also wrote that the first institution to take over should be education.
"The history of education shows that every class which has sought to take power has prepared itself for power by an autonomous education. The first step in emancipating oneself from political and social slavery is that of freeing the mind."
Antonio Gramsci (1935)
Of course, like all Leftists, Gramsci planned to do the opposite of what he promised, i.e. to enslave the minds of the free.
.It's important to study what is written in the Communist Manifesto because our New World Order puppet masters are following it to the letter. Beginning with the administration of Woodrow Wilson, no actually when I think about it, all the way back to Abraham Lincoln with his centralization of power, British oligarchs have been, plank by plank, installing socialism into every facet of American life. You need to understand that socialism leads to communism and New World Orderism, It's a subversive PLAN to undermine and destroy Freedom, Democracy, Self Determination, Property Rights, Inheritance Rights, Privacy, and the Pursuit of Happiness in America
Simply put, all presidents from Washington onward have been criminals. From Washingtons' hatred of native Americans and his desire for expansionism for himself and his bank account on the backs of his mistreated slaves, Down to our day, Abraham Lincoln was the ultimate criminal, getting neighbors and families to slaughter each other to the tune of 260,000 deaths. From another criminal, Alexander Hamilton that felt a nation in debt, was the kind of nation he looked forward to. The plan for New World Orderism, Has been laid out for years. In 1992 179 nations, without the votes of the populace, said we are in on agenda 21. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfO2Dny395g
Freedom which only a few have in this country, Democracy (2 wolves and a lamb deciding, what's for dinner) isn't what this country was even claimed to be based on, Self determination that is stifled by government restrictions, Property rights and inheritance rights which really don't exist, Privacy, which is complete taken away with the Surveillance systems of today, And the pursuit of happiness which has been an unfulfilled dream for so many in This country. And this country has been based on socialism from the start. The Army supported by the populace and taxes appropriated to support it. The Police, The road systems and especially the government itself that extorts money from everyone and only a few decide where and how that money will be spent, stolen, or wasted. So, what do we have to fight for and against when both types of government are instituted into The USA.
Pretty sad when the chloroformed residents of a country being taken down by communism unbeknowst to themselves believe that someone that tells the Truth about what's going on is a comedian.......RIP George.
What was it about my comment that made you think that? Please clarify....I thought I was being pretty clear about the fact that I completely agreed with what he said here, but that many others apparently did not take him SERIOUSLY. Maybe insomuch as both and the wider culture culture presented him as a stand up comedian,.wheras he was so much more than that...he.gave a large dose of truth with his routines. I dont uncritically agree always with everything he said, but by and large, Carlin was doing his level best to wake his
Audiences up
No, Mark, It was a great idea to include this by him
OK, what confused me is that it made it read to me that people who listened to him thought what he said was just comedy. Which apparently is what you wanted it to be understood as from your reply. OK, now I get it. THEY didn't realize what he was telling them was truth, they thought it was just comedy.
One thing that is maddening is how soldiers are brainwashed into thinking they are going to war to fight for the freedom of their country all while the actions of the same government are the only threat to the freedom of the people
I haven't read the article yet, but I've been saying that America is Communist since 1913, for a while now. It's a softer kind of Communism, a new twist on the Red Terror. The Bolsheviks learned that when you kill the best and rob from the rest, long-term that "Communist Utopia" is untenable.
Ah yes,1913, that fateful and infamous year when both the IRS and the Federal Reserve were semi-established, albeit via fraud and presidential blackmail. Now, it seems that at least the IRS shall soon be history and NOT as a result of anything that Trump has done, but something almost single-handedly accomplished by one genuine American patriot by the name of Mike Gill, former successful businessman from the State of New Hampshire. Mike Gill proved in open court that the IRS has been guilty of at least 2 Major Felonies, namely: Money Laundering and Child Trafficking. Shortly after Mr. Gill was successful in proving the IRS GUILTY of the 2 aforementioned FELONIES, he was murdered. Now, I do not think it would take a Sherlock Holmes or any whiz bang super detective to see precisely who might be prime suspects in his murder. Yet there seems to be little to no effort being made to find, arraign and charge the most likely suspects. One would naturally and logically wonder why! All I have to say in answer to that question is... welcome to, 'Justice American style.'
In any case, We the People owe Mike Gill a huge debt of at the very least thanks for his time, efforts and huge expenses in what appears to be a once and for all defeat of the IRS!
Links? More information? A post you could put up? Be sure to drive in a bullet proof automobile and wear full body armor afterwards though. And be careful what you drink…reminding myself of Stanley Meyer.
He fits the description given by Sy with the exception of being dead. There was another Mike Gill who worked in the first Trump administration that was killed in a car jacking incident.
I do not know how much the actions of Mr. Gill played in that but, one must not only take what is said by the so-called “rulers” but, must also look at all of their actions. While we were forced into a fake currency system meant to control, enslave, and place us in permanent debt, the IRS was needed for them to control and track it all. Now we face something much worse which will, by it’s nature, already have integrated control. Once that crypto system is fully implemented, IRS and private banks will automatically become obsolete. Lord help us all…
Great piece, horrific context. The Spector of Communism must essentially be the same book? And it's just as specific regarding how the rest of the world is secretly planning this on the country to dismantle the USA. So far so good? There's gotta be a way to end this attack from within, you'd think the people would be doing something about it besides reducing it to the ridiculous "conspiracy" 🤷
By burying us slowly in communism over decades the average person accepts their chains without question. When you bring the facts in front of their faces they look at you like deer caught in the headlights of a car. A blank stare. Cognitive dissonance sets in and the denial is immediately spouted into the conversation. Stockholm syndrome had set in years ago as they ra ra'ed the flag and the military for their wonderful deeds. They see the military as their benefactors and saviors rather than the destructive force it is being used world wide to bring in global government that is totally based on those 10 planks. Any country that stands in the way of global dominance is attacked and destroyed for a reason the public is told which is a total lie. Iraq was attacked and destroyed because of false claims of babies being removed from their incubators and tossed on the floor. For the false claim of weapons of mass destruction. For the false claim of having been involved in 911. Afghanistan is attacked and an effort is made that fails to bring them under domination and the lie used there was Osama Bid Laden was supposedly supported by them. But they kicked the US militaries ass. Want to know why...because they had MILITIA which is NECESSARY to the SECURITY of a FREE state. The reason that Russia is vilified isn't because of the leaders or government, but rather because the leaders and government aren't going along with the one world global psychopath control freak parasites that want to run every aspect of our lives. Not that Putin isn't one of their ilk, it's just he isn't one going along with the pack. The way we can end this attack from within is either to get those in the government to bring back the first 13 words of the 2nd amendment or if they refuse, do it on our own and be willing to use the PURPOSE for those 13 words. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/those-forgotten-and-ignored-13-words
I had never heard that before, but it would make sense since we don't have "hard communism" here where they drag you off to Gulags if you say something they don't agree with. Well except January 6th protestors. But they don't count in the eyes of the "rulers".
We have gulags in Cuba. The physical torture and psychological abuse endured by J6ers (for wrong think) in our prisons confirms to my family (who have experienced Cuban gulags) that we have gulags in the US. We don't have freedom of speech or freedom to roam, as my Country Club Republican Governor notified me via his tyrannical EOs in 2020.
This post is excellent, I wish I would've seen it before I published my Obama "Communists Amongst Us" post. The lazy pothead was raised by Communists.
I haven't seen anyone question Kennedy about his Uncle's EO 11000 that you linked, very interesting.
In 1917 our Blessed Mother-Mary,appeared to 3 peasant children as Fatima. She appeared several times and plead to the children to pray the Rosary every day, for the conversion of Russia, even teaching them the prayer. Three secrets were revealed and were to be released at a later time, and they have been over time.
Several more "seers" have also appeared with the same or very similar message. We ought to, finally, heed that message. Has Russia been consecrated to the Sacred Heart?
Both the events you describe and the Fatima message (with the miracle of the sun, that many witnessed) were in 1917. Coincidence? Do you believe in Coincidences? We must pray our Holy Rosary, with intent, every day. Call out to God, repent, ask for mercy. He'll deliver if we are sincere.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that after the war of 1812 , the u.s. government was under massive debt . If gold & silver were used as currency, why would a national debt have occurred? Also , even though I have no respect for this pseudo economist, didn’t John Maynard Keynes say , & I’m paraphrasing, that gold used as a currency is thankfully not in use , a relic thankfully abandoned?
I am not that familiar with the war of 1812 and the results that took place in the back ground. If you borrow a dollar of silver from me and have no way to pay it back that's a debt. I'd assume that the feds must have borrowed and couldn't pay back what they had borrowed thus a debt. If what you borrow is NO THING then how can there be a debt? Gold and silver are "things". Fed "notes" are not because they don't fit the definition of notes.. John Maynard Keynes is on my list of who not to read. Gold was used as currency in the US up into the 1930's. Silver up into the 1960's. Read https://www.courageouslion.us/p/blood-running-in-the-streets-mobs For a deep dive into monetary realism.
The federal reserve bank? The legality of such entity must be questioned.
It is difficult to visualize a government to allow a handful of globalist to PRINT DOLLARS AND LEND THEM TO US WITH INTEREST?
For more than 100 years thousands of politicians came and gone and no one demanded nationalization of that entity or at least cancelling that arrangement and ask the Treasury to print our own currency and pay no interest on that fiat currencies.
Abraham Lincoln did not centralize power. I don't buy that lie. He swore an oath to defend the United States of America. His sworn duty was to defend the constitution. He did that by calling up the militia to defend against the CSA government the day after they bombed the Union fort at Fort Sumter. Jefferson Davis called defending the United States an act of war. Do you believe that calling up the militia to defend America was an act of war?
Let me try to sway your opinion to one that is closer to reality.
I consider myself well read on the subject of the War for Southern Independence...
The marriage contract had been broken by the north...the resulting effort for the south to leave the compact ended in unnecessary bloodshed...It was a nation of many nations before that conflict.
The battle of Fort Sumter is generally considered to be the event responsible for the start of the US Civil War.
The South Carolina Militia fired on Fort Sumter because the state decided to separate itself from the United States, and the UNCONSTITUTIONAL STANDING US army was stationed at the fort and they would not leave when asked and then demanded of by South Carolina leadership.
Following this battle, four other southern states joined the Confederacy, and Abraham Lincoln called for a large number of volunteers, which marked the start of the Civil War.
The "The South Was Right" by the Kennedy Brothers was a well researched read. Another good one is Professor Thomas DiLorenzo's excellent expose' of "The Real Lincoln".
He was a total tyrant. He suspended Habeas Corpus which only the supreme Court has the power to do. He jailed anyone who wrote articles that were against the war...He needed to be shot. He was the first real DICTATOR of the US.
Articles that influenced my way of thinking
By Thomas J. DiLorenzo:
"The Great Centralizer: Abraham Lincoln and the War Between the States" (Fall 1998)
Thanks for engaging me with your comment. I hope you make the effort to see what has been exposed in these articles and the books I mentioned. The Jeffersonian View of The Civil War was prompted by your post. I have had it in my collection of research on the subject since 2001.
The Russian revolution was started won mostly by the Russian Navy and other military, who rebelled against the Czar using them as cannon fodder in WWI. Lenin was not even in Russia when the revolution was won. He came later, and turned the result of the revolution into a totalitarian state.
Four score and seven years after the American Revolution, Lincoln turned all Americans into slaves.
I read this AFTER I had posted my statement about Lincoln. And yes, most people don't realize that the 14th Amendment, which wasn't properly ratified by the states since the North refused to let the South be involved legally, is what puts us into slave status. Before that "amendment" you were a citizen of the State you lived in. Now they claim you are a citizen if you are born in the "UNITED STATES". THEY can CLAIM whatever the F**K they want, and if we go along with it, that's another story.
"THEY can CLAIM whatever the F**K they want, and if we go along with it, that's another story."
Now they don't even bother to formally amend the constitution, unelected deep state writes a new one as they go along. But, yes, whether we go along is different.
"No one is more a slave than he who considers himself free but who is not free."
Niemand ist mehr Sklave, als der sich für frei hält, ohne es zu sein.
I used Von Goethe translation as a signature on my Email. "None are more hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free." I don't know what your religious beliefs are but this song by the late Carl Klang is a good one with that statement right at the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kzlQIdeNFA
I knew that I had been recently reminded of that quote somewhere, no doubt it was your email. I can completely agree with and love the lyrics of the song linked to.
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free..." Luke 4:18
Yes. In 1935, Antonio Gramsci, the communist who invented the idea of a Long March through the institutions, also wrote that the first institution to take over should be education.
"The history of education shows that every class which has sought to take power has prepared itself for power by an autonomous education. The first step in emancipating oneself from political and social slavery is that of freeing the mind."

Niemand ist mehr Sklave, als der sich für frei hält, ohne es zu sein.
Goethe, Elective Affinities (1809)
I used Von Goethe translation as a signature on my Email. "None are more hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free." I don't know what your religious beliefs are but this song by the late Carl Klang is a good one with that statement right at the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kzlQIdeNFA
I knew that I had been recently reminded of that quote somewhere, no doubt it was your email. I can completely agree with and love the lyrics of the song linked to.
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free..." Luke 4:18
