Communism In America, Part 5

By Pastor Roger Anghis

April 30, 2023

There has been talk about the nationalization of all our industries. That is what Hugo Chavez did in Venezuela when he took power. All industry under government control. The USSR operated that way up until the USSR fell in 1989. What most people do not realize is that JFK set in motion the plan to do just that, in the case of a ‘national’ emergency. That was Executive Order 11000, Assigning Emergency Preparedness Functions to the Secretary of Labor.[1] This gives the Secretary of Labor the right to take over every and all industries, food production, and manufacturing if it is determined that the emergency calls for that type of action. I assure you that if that ever happens, we will never see free enterprise again.

These provisions have been put in place over long periods of time from Truman to Biden. All are designed to remove rights and freedoms a little at a time. I believe it was Rahm Emanuel under Obama that stated “Never let a crisis go to waste”. Nixon issued Executive Order 11647[2] to allow the government to take over agriculture and food dispersion and dividing America into ten different regions and to coordinate all manufacturing and agriculture ‘for the benefit of all.’ That is 100% communism.

Then we have Executive Order 11731[3] which incorporates Medicare in the federal government. Keep in mind the Constitution does not give the government the right to be involved in any of these areas. They simply said they can take control if they feel the need to do so. Also, keep in mind that they can cause the ‘crisis’ that will give them the right. What they did during COVID with the jabs and the lockdowns was just a sample run to see if they could get away with it.

Now the Democrats are calling for free college for everyone. There is no way government can pay for this but that has never stopped them before. Free college is a communist provision that we should reject like the plague. Some states are giving illegal free college so they can get their votes. I do not know of a red state that is doing this only blue states. We have had ‘free’ K-12 for many years but we are taxed for that however, but they are no longer places of education but indoctrination centers into the Marxist/communist ideology.

We can see what they have done to accomplish their goals but what are we doing to not allow that to happen? Not much. Too many people have stood back and allowed the government to do whatever it wanted. The ground they have taken they will not give up easily. Why are we where we are on the road to communism? Simple. We do not know our rights and too many people do not care either. We do not know our rights because those rights are no longer taught in our schools and the ‘adults’ in charge never saw to it that they were. Now we have federal government involvement in our education, medical, and welfare systems as well as the feds telling us what kind of car to drive, what kind of house to live in, what kind of foods we can eat, what kind of stoves, dishwashers, and refrigerators we can use. If we do not stop them, they will not stop and end up controlling everything we do, which is just what they want.

John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court stated: Every member of the State ought diligently to read and to study the constitution of his country, and teach the rising generation to be free. By knowing their rights, they will sooner perceive when they are violated, and be the better prepared to defend and assert them.³ Advise that was followed by our earlier generations but has been ignored by the last six or seven generations.

Our nation was designed for a free people. Being free is what most in this nation believe is a result of being born in America. Partly true. We have NOT been taught that each generation must fight to keep that freedom in one form or another. Ronald Reagan warned us: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Our nation has been slipping away from us at an exponential rate for the last two years. The Biden administration and the democrats are pushing their agenda as hard as they can and most people sit back and say we have to do what the government says. No, we don’t. The government only has power that is given to it by the people. The federal government has taken authority that it has no right to take. If not stopped we will be no better than Cuba, Venezuela, or some other third-world banana republic.

If we want to become again the great nation we once were we have to get back to doing what made us great in the first place. We put God first, and lived by Biblical principles, each person developed his/her character to be honest and trustworthy. When someone tried to introduce an ungodly idea or philosophy, we rejected it immediately. If we try rejecting ungodly ideas today, we are attacked and charged with bigotry, homophobia, racism, and the list goes on. This is because we stopped standing for what is right. The foundation of society is one male, one female family and even that is under attack. We are shamed by people who are really one gender but ‘feel’ like another and called names for not accepting them the way they are when the truth of the matter is they refuse to accept themselves for who God made them. I assure you, God didn’t make a mistake and put a girl in a guy’s body. The mistake is on the person.

Our future depends on how we address this present situation. If we ignore it our children and grandchildren will live in a world that knows no freedom. If we fight and call on God to help us, we will preserve the greatest nation the world has ever known.
