      [continued from previous message]              And there he is, the Marxist, the Marxist Islamist, Zahran Mamdani.       Massive tax increases, massive redistribution of wealth. And of course,       people are going to support it. Because they benefit from it. But what       is not discussed? Not even a little, except by me. And in this book is       the liberty. Is the governing construct that you are going to lose as a       result. And ultimately the tyranny, the poverty, the impoverishment,       the results, the beneficiaries of such soft negative power are fully       aware that they did not earn what they have received, but delude       themselves in various ways that they are deserving it. Democrats have       the excuse me, democracies have the seeds of their own destruction       within them. Folks, this is two and a half pages. I’m explaining what’s       going on in New York before what was taking place in New York, not       because I’m Nostradamus, but because I’m thinking these things through.       I’m writing to you. I’m warning you of what is good and what is bad.       Democracies have the seeds of their own destruction within them. The       today’s soft negative power is ascendant. That is, the West, which       obviously includes the United States, is regressing toward the more       primitive way of thinking and governing and the more aggressive form of       negative power. The circle of liberty and security surrounding each       individual is shrinking as the supposed common good and public       interest, defined and determined by a relative handful of masterminds       and politicians, is said to be increasingly imperative and paramount.       The assumed legitimacy for interference in the individual’s life has       become so routine, assumed to be both necessary in an. Habitable that       their justifications are less important anymore. The growth of       centralized government and its attendant authority are presented as and       indeed seen by many as predestined, even essential to human and       societal progress. This is in my new book on power. You’re getting a       little bit of an audio version from me live, which is just not       available yet, but will be soon. If you want to grab your copy, please       go to Amazon.com and preorder now just a little bit more. I realize       that what follows in the book. Will be dismissed or castigated by       certain partisans and fanatics, but that’s to be expected since my       observations involve them and they are not laudatory. In truth, among       the most dangerous domestic menaces to present day America is the       Democrat Party. It is a political institution that exists for the       purpose of agitating for it and in fact breaching the Constitution’s       firewalls and pursuit of the ever elusive earthly utopia. It is home       to, among others, conglomeration of Marxist socialists, an Islamist       ideologues and activists. Of course, this is not to say that the       majority of its membership share that ideology. However, those       ideologies, however, the majority of its membership does not rule the       party. The people in the party don’t rule the party. I say this not as       hyperbole for partisan political purposes, but as an everyday witness       with functioning eyes and ears, reading and and hearing the daily       barrage of declarations and promises about the fundamental       transformation of America and the dogged assault on Americans       foundations by its academics, Democrat Party apparatchiks and       surrogates. Indeed, unlike reform in. The fundamental transformation       which they speak, is the wholesale transmutation of a nation’s       character and traditions. I’m not going to read the whole book,       although I did the whole audio for the book. And there’s much more than       that. Just as yesterday when I was talking about sovereignty and God       and the West and the Enlightenment versus Islam and Marxism. And their       mental approach and worldview. It’s all coming together. It’s all       coming together. And I break it apart and then put it back together so       you can understand it. So you can understand it. This book on power.       I’ve written a lot of important books. I wrote a book, Liberty and       Tyranny, that sold a million and a half copies. I wrote a book,       American Marxism, that sold 1.4 million copies. This may be more       important than those books. Given the times we live in, For too many       Americans, our guard is down. Our guard is down. I hope you take       advantage of this. I really do. We’re going to talk about it a lot more       because it’s it’s philosophy. It’s scholarship. It’s history. But their       application apply to this day and this minute to your lives. Crucially       important. I’ll be right back.              Segment 4       All right, Zoran Mamdani on ABC News yesterday. Now this is the       polished Mamdani cut go. You call yourself Democratic socialist. The       word socialist, of course, has been vilified and used to attack you       specifically. How do you define being a democratic socialist? I think       of the words of Dr. King, who decades ago said he was a Republican and       you’re a Marxist Islamist. So don’t defame Dr. King. You should quote       who you really believe. Arafat. People like that. You’re a fraud and a       phony and a fool. No, I had socialism. There must be a better       distribution of wealth for all of God’s children in this country. And       really, who’s going to figure that out? You. You’re going to do that to       me. Ladies and gentlemen, as I also explain in the book, where’s there       more prosperity for more people on the face of the earth than in the       United States of America? Where? Nowhere. In the regimes where the       government controls the distribution of food and so forth. Most of the       people are starving. So what this man does is he takes a third world       model. Economic socialism, Marxist ideology. And he’s going to create       more wealth and equality. And he quotes Dr. Martin Luther King. For his       propositions. Go ahead. And my belief that every New Yorker should have       what they need to live a dignified life. It shouldn’t be something that       they can be priced out of. And that’s why at the heart of our campaign       is this focus on what does that mean? Every New Yorker should live a       dignified life. And does anybody know what that means? What does that       mean? What does that mean? It means nothing. It means nothing. And this       is what the Marxist do. They have a whole chapter, by the way, on       language. This is the language. Mao Tse tung said this stuff killed 60       million people. Not that this guy will kill anybody. That’s not the       point. This kind of language, these kinds of arguments have been used       by genocidal maniacs, by dictators, by Islamists and Marxists. For       decades or longer. To justify their destruction. I’ve Liberty. Limited       government. Diversified power. Economic growth and prosperity. It used       to be that his ilk would attack the United States for creating too much       material wealth. Now they argue there’s not enough to go around.       Whatever works. Go ahead and rent stabilized tenants making the slowest       buses in the country fast. And there are in the country about 1200       people who are just wealthy beyond and beyond anything. Right. And then       25 years ago, there were only about there there there were all these       people wealthy. Beyond. And so what have they created? We’re going can       have one of these gentlemen. On the program next day. What have they       created? Grocery store chain so people have food at a good price.       Choices they don’t have anywhere else on the face of the earth, in       their communities, in their neighborhoods. So who cares if that       person’s wealthy? What does that have to do with anything? Or somebody              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
