The LeftÆs Secret Pact: Subverting the War on Terror

[Guest]

November 30th, 2005

The War on Terror has brought on many complex problems and challenges. Perhaps none is more critical than the conduct of the political Left which is apparently set on sabotaging our efforts. Unable to come up with a logical explanation, political observers either throw up their hands in bewilderment or ascribe the LeftÔÇÖs posture to some irrational nihilistic impulse. But such conclusions are neither satisfactory nor correct.

The LeftÔÇÖs sabotage of this war is a deliberate attempt to give relief to the other side. This is because their corresponding views on capitalism and the West make Islamic radicals and the Left natural allies. The Left seeks to weaken us from within in order to help those whose shared worldview binds them in a common pact. Once we understand the nature of this stealth partnership, the reasons behind the LeftÔÇÖs often seemingly inexplicable actions will become alarmingly apparent.

But to do so, we must start at the beginning.

For reasons we need not go into here, some people in capitalism develop an aversion toward it. Needless to say, it can be seen and felt in many places ÔÇô at anti-establishment rallies, globalization protests, in the ranks of our cultural and intellectual elites, among radical activists, and the movies of Michael Moore to mention just a few ÔÇô where capitalism is spoken of as evil, exploitative, alienating, dehumanizing and such.

This hatred gives rise to the urge to strike out. On the crudest level, it is expressed as violence against capitalismÔÇÖs symbols and institutions such as financial centers and corporations. The efforts to institutionalize capitalism-adverse policies are a more sophisticated manifestation of this impulse. Some of the more obvious ones are regulatory restrictions on the free market, the expansion of the state and the shackling of the private sector. It goes without saying that the possessors of this anti-capitalist outlook invariably congregate on the political Left.

The LeftÔÇÖs dislike of capitalism naturally extends to the whole of Western civilization as the two are indelibly and inextricably tied. Capitalism was, of course, born in the West and in time came to constitute its socio-economic foundation. Besides being its cradle, the West has also been capitalismÔÇÖs leading practitioner and long-term champion.

In the LeftÔÇÖs worldview, then, the two great villains on this earth are capitalism and the West. As such, they need to be brought down and taken out of existence, which is precisely what the western Left has been trying to accomplish for the past one hundred years or so.

Its first great hope was the Soviet Union; naturally so, since the Soviet worldview closely coincided with its own. To begin with, the Soviets were virulently anti-capitalistic. Castigating capitalism as an unjust and exploitative system that had corrupted the whole of the Western world, they insisted that it was to be swept away as a matter of historical law. This, of course, was music to the LeftÔÇÖs ears.

Most importantly, the Soviets possessed the means and willingness to help those historical laws along. Belligerent and heavily-armed, they were openly preparing for that decisive confrontation that would push the West with its bourgeois culture into the abyss of the past. The result was the Cold war, an epic clash between two diametrically opposed socio-economic orders ÔÇô Western democratic liberalism and communist totalitarianism.

Never in doubt where they stood, the Left tried to tip the scales in the SovietsÔÇÖ favor by weakening the West from within. Their strategy was twofold: To dull the WestÔÇÖs fighting spirit and to undercut its military power. To affect the former, they professed that the Cold War was un-winnable, as it would only lead to mankindÔÇÖs annihilation. It was therefore better not to fight than to be destroyed ÔÇô hence the well-known slogan ÔÇÿbetter red than dead.ÔÇÖ They even hinted that to be taken over would not have been so undesirable, as the Soviet love for the common man made their system more humane than ours, based as it is on greed and selfishness.

...........Snip.............

The LeftÔÇÖs treachery accounts for why four years after September 11 most western nations are not only unwilling to confront the enemy who openly calls for their destruction, but impugn the one country disposed to do something about it. The fate of the West is in AmericaÔÇÖs hands, but it gets little thanks from those whose survival it defends.

In this conflict, as in all others, the Left disingenuously calls for tolerance, understanding and dialogue while condemning tough measures which alone can safeguard our continued existence. In this it follows its traditional modus operandi of wrapping its stealth agendas in the cloak of high-flown rhetoric. Sadly, it has succeeded in duping many well-intentioned people into assisting an adversary whose implacable hatred can only be quenched by our eradication.

The depth and extent of the LeftÔÇÖs deceit will become clear once it is understood how their shared views on our society make them a stealth ally of Islamic radicals. The treachery must be exposed, because this war on terror ÔÇô hard and protracted as it promises to be ÔÇô cannot be won with a fifth column in our midst.

Go read the rest, I dare some of you....

Excellent article as far as I am concerned and it explains a lot.

The left is suicidal, well, sorry, but I'm NOT....

[Vixef]

I have just one thing to say about that article: Another propaganda article from the far far right with extreme loads and loads of BS.

[v01i0]

Lollorz

That was almost as good joke as this is. Should really be in jokes section.

Being serious, I partly agree with the following part in that text:

"In the LeftÔÇÖs worldview, then, the two great villains on this earth are capitalism and the West. As such, they need to be brought down and taken out of existence, which is precisely what the western Left has been trying to accomplish for the past one hundred years or so."

But I disagree with "taking out of existence", for these powers, both left and right, should not exist alone. They should both exist in order to limit some extreme occurances of both sides.

In balance.

I read it.

Then again I'm of the opinion that Terrorism (in whatever form it takes) will exist as long as the human race does.

Aperson's right people. As long as human's exist, there will always be wars, battles, murders.. what not

There will NEVER be a time when there will NOT be a war of some kind, weather religious or personel

[Guest]

And the left wingers of the site come screaming in....LOL

Not you Kalshion, obviously..LOL

[John Prezioso]

It's pretty funny that those of the left-leaning political persuasion buy every story from guys like Moore and ridiculously biased media like CNN, yet jump up and down screaming if they think a piece is biased to the right. Just an observation.

As far as my take on the article, I think it is too severe an accusation to say that the political left deliberately support the enemy. I think they are so obsessed with destroying Bush and Republicans that they don't care that what they say and do constantly undermines our boys fighting overseas, lowers their morale, and gives aid and comfort to their enemies. They SHOULD be ashamed. But they won't be.

[Kalshion]

Prez

Thats because if it's part of the Left, it's clean and fine. But if it's apart of the Right, then it's tainted, it's a conspiracy, its really redicious to be honest

I PRIME example is the clinton thing, when clinton sold nuclear weapons to China, NO ONE complained about it.

However, when Bush was in China for some negotiation thing, and found the door he needed to go through was locked, it was splashed across the leftess media almost like it was treason

It make's me wonder if the Left media has NEVER had a president find a locked door

I disagree with you here Prez

The fact the media (ALL OF THE MEDIA) keeps reporting our troop movements, information on our operations, and crud like that, DOES label them an enemy in my book

By the way, did you know that the military booted CNN and CBS out of Iraq? You probably already know (And no, you won't find it on the liberal media, I found this out on the Wall Street Journal)

Pretty much, only Fox News is allowed in Iraq and Afgan right now

Umm... as for the Media supportin our enemy, I do believe they are. Again, they report EVERY LITTLE DETAIL that our troops are doing. The media has become the BEST source of information for our enemy, all they need to do is flip over to CNN or CBS and boom, they have image's and information on where our soldiers are, what our soldiers are doing, and who there commander is

Media supports our troops? Yea.. right...

[John Prezioso]

And to answer Aperson's point:

Terrorism will most likely exist in one form or another 'til the end of days, but that doesn't mean we should allow them to exist in highly organized and well funded cells, supported and protected by rogue terrorist nations. When they go back to living in their hidey holes like the vermin they are, well, I'll be okay with that.

Kalshion - exacltly right. But let's go more current. What about Able Danger?

And really, the remarks in Jag's article are way less offensive than what DICK Durbin said about our own military. I didn't hear much of the left taking issue with that. If I think what a Republican or conservative says or does is innappropriate, I speak up. Does the same thing happen on the left? I've yet to see it.

As far as the media goes, I'll say this:

I have more respect for the terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting and killing our boys than I have for the media. At least the terrorists take a side. The media are scumbags who care nothing about America. They want their story, and screw anyone who suffers or dies because of it.

[John Prezioso]

As a further example of the leftist media only writing a story that helps their agenda and hurts Bush and Republicans, I exhibit yet another funny but sad piece of evidence:

"Tom Daschle said it best: "The best GDP is a j-o-b."" BRAZILLE

"I say to the president: "You have the worst record of job performance since Herbert Hoover. Mr. President, where are the jobs?"" PELOSI

"Each month...of Bush's presidency so far...the economy has lost an average...of 73,000 jobs. So you can't get a job..." McAULIFFE

"The president's plan is reckless. It's irresponsible. It is not job-creating." PELOSI

"What really matters most to middle-class America, which is jobs. The recovery remains not just jobless, but job loss." LIEBERMAN

"It will do nothing to create jobs." PELOSI

"You can have the president's tax cut or you can have a balanced budget and jobs, but you can't have both." DEAN

"This president got a great big pitcher of lemonade and he's busily turning it into a lemon economy." GEPHARDT

"We have the worst economy that we've had since Herbert Hoover was president [sic]. People are hurting. Three million Americans have lost their jobs. It's the worst growth record in our country since World War II." JOHN KERRY

Now, has anyone seen the recent news on the economy? In case you missed it, here it is:

http://news.ft.com/cms/s/d0205e18-6336-11d...00779e2340.html

Now bear in mind, we have TWO wars going on AND are recovering from the worst Hurricane season in 90 years. A rocky economy would be easily explainable. But here we have an extremely robust economy, everything that the leftist media reported was WRONG, and where is the follow-up? Where are the stories about how the entire DNC was absolutely and completely WRONG!?!?!?

This is but the latest example. If we get back to the topic of Iraq and their shameful reporting on that, the trend is continuing unabated.

When John Kerry said that, I thought to myself "Hypocrit" !

Why? Because if he's so concerned about jobs, then why is he OUT SOURCE'S HIS BUSSINESS! (Hietz, or whatever the heck you call it)

The thing is Prez, there is no way to correct what's already been done in the Media. The ONLY real way to turn the media back into a neutral party is to WIPE IT CLEAN, disband ALL current media outlets (CBS, Fox News, CNN) EVERYTHING.. and start off from strach.

Heinz. Ketchup. When you go to any fast food place, restaurant, ect...I never even touch the stuff, at fast food places I ask for ranch dressing (tasted better that ketchup too), at restaurants I take anything else, like steak sauce. I deliberatly DO NOT BUY Heinz products. Hey, it starts with one, and considering how many alternatives you have (THANK YOU AMERICA), it's not hard, at all. ROFL. May the Heinz rot in their own ketchup. ROFL.

If only all republicans, conservatives, and the rest of the people who dislike or disagree with Kerry had the conviction of character and the willpower to actually go through with the concept of VOTING with you voice and your money. The dumb politician comes out, has a company that can go bankrupt if the people stop patronizing it, and we as Americans literally hold the power in our wallets, it's mind boggling how many people just do not care and still give him their money, even though they voted against him, dissagree with his views and hate his guts. Can you imagine what would happen if 50% of Americans that voted for Bush stop consuming Heinz products? Too bad they lack the conviction of character to do so.

[Aperson]

I'm sure Heinz would just focus more of its advertising on other countries if what you are suggesting managed to succeed.

[Soback]

Works for me. It would be just like Nabisco brand, company based in Europe while racking in the profits from US hand over fist. In that case Kerry better hope Europeans would like his Heinz products, although knowing EU business regulations, which wouldn't allow United and other US based ariline companies to operate international flights in and out of Europe unless they used European planes, Kerry and his wife would need to jump through some pretty small hoops, and lick some beurocrats boots to even get permission to sell in Europe.

Talk about a free market economy. You only hear free market economy from Europe and third world countries when they want to sell products in US, you hear monopoly, domination, and other badmouthing when US tries to export products to them. There's nothing free about the market when you impose rules and regulations at home on your own home based company, thus driving up the price, and do not impose tarrifs on crap from China that is manufactured without any rules or regualtions.

US airlines should've plain out boycotted European international routes, and told them that if they are not allowed to operate the routes with their own aircraft then fine, however, if you want to fly to US, you are obligated to buy and operate Boing planes on any route crossing US borders. Our socialist politicians on the other hand were co-ercing United and other airlines to abide by European regulations, buy European planes and operate even if un-profitable. Subsidizing it with our tax dollars, and getting deals from European beurocrats.

What a shame.

Like I said. Too bad the regual Joe doesn't have the conviction of character to have his money follow his vote. Especially considering how easy it is to do with the multitude of choices in products available in the US.

[Kevin Trotter]

Dont you guys ever tire of this juvenile *****ing?The left and right are not some super organized monlithic entities.Each side has its factions within that differ on some issues. Yet all I hear are the continued jabberings of the fringe.

Jag normally i read stuff you send me to; you are responsible for me spending a month studying Constitutional law, but in this case, I couldnt go along. The oversimplification of the Left 's position, the absence of identifying whether or not his analysis was limited to western europe, and the most ridiculous assumption that there is organized coherent leadership on the left.

The type of "pact" he refers to would require the organizational skills my party severely lacks.

Just once I wish there could a level of discourse that does not attempt to completely demonize and destroy opposing points of view.

BTW John Kerry is not to my knowledge an officer on the board of Heinz USA.His wife is the heiress to the Heinz fortune but I do believe a Board of Directors runs that company.

As far as people refusing to buy products based on the politics of some of its shareholders..Better hope we on the Left dont do it, you people run a lot more businesses than we do.

[John Prezioso]

I absolutely agree about conservatism and liberalism not being monolithic, Race. Look at Silk and myself. We completely disagree on the Iraq war, for example, yet we both call ourselves conservatives. Jag and I disagree on what is science and what is religion, and again, we are conservatives. I truly believe that many liberals only want what's best for America. But I've seen some that seem to put regaining political power above all else, including country. I think this article was more directed towards those of the left who would do ANYTHING to make the Republicans look bad, even if it means damaging their own country in the process.

[Soback]

Yeah, way to debate Nomad. After you read this, why don't you actually try to debate by reason rather than spewing insults. Oh, that reminds me, go debate with reason in the scientific section, you forgot to post your replies to the numerious facts people used to oppose your posts. Also, don't forget, it's been over a month, and you yet to use your reasoning sence + facts to back up your statements that France is not a socialist country. ROFL.

Lets put my posts through a true/false test.

1. If the people who dislike or disagree with Kerry voted with their money and stoped buying Heinz products, Kerry would take a huge financial hit. = True.

2. Nabisco is a European company = True

3. Nabisco is a popular brang in US, and if US stoped buying Nabiscos products, that said European company would take a huge hits in it's revenues, and therefore Europe would take a hit in taxes collected from Nabisco = True

4. Europe required US opearted international routes between Europe and US to be flown in European build planes. (They would not allow US build aircraft to be operated in and out of Europe, even if the route is serviced by a US airline). = True

5. Europes over-regulates it's bussinesses and makes it nearly impossible to do any kind of commerce as the laws and regulations are putting a strangle hold on any international upstarts (to clarify, it fiercly opposes any bussinesses that are based overseas and would move their profits from European sales to it's home country) = True

6. Europe taxes it's bussinesses at rates far higher than US. = True

7. If Heinz would lose at least half it's commercial base in US and would try to increase it's European exports, it would have a hard time matching the profits made in US. = True

And as pointed out by Nomad himself

8. Judging by the figures, Europe is more monetarily dependant on it's exports to US, than US by it's exports to Europe. = True

9. Every dollar that leaves US and goes overseas to Europe due to European exports purchased on US soil just helps socialism. = True

10. If US would lessen it's regualtion, beurocracy on bussinesses, and impose higher tarrifs on products imported from overseas, it would promote internal production and distribution of it's home made products. = True

So Nomad. In light of all the statements in my posts being TRUE. Which part is exactly nonsence?

I live in US. And for my own best interest I am advocating cutting the ambilical cord that carries our money, to Europe. I advocate people stop supporting the politicians they disagree with by buying products of companies that those said politicians are affiliated with (that alone should send a crisp clear message).

PS. to Race Bannon.

---Seeing how you made a general statement. I'll make a general response. Even you agree that the right runs more bussinesses than the left. Which leads to a conclusion that a group that runs more bussinesses conributes more. Therefore it shows which group has more leeches and which group has more producers. Thank you for pointing out how the right runs more bussinesses.

Makes me wonder how your life would be without the right and the products that are produced by, as you clearly state in your own post, our more industrious group.

Yes indeed. The local news here in NYC had quite a few experts state that the economy was going very strong before the hurricane issue and was able to absorb it. Unlike the doom and gloom the main stream media portended.

Jobs are up. The economy is up. Black friday was good.

Downside. The liberals/Dems got nothing else. Hence, the constant haranguing Bush on Iraq. Sadly, it's all they got left.

I'd also like to make a comment about the buying of good news in Iraq. Not one media outlet has looked into why that was done. Well I'll tell ya. Because the media just keeps reporting the bad things that gone on there. Well not just there but everywhere. It is really kind of sad that good news has to paid for but such is the news media monster.

Which is why I really don't like the Left/Right way of labelling political positions. And is also why I think this is rather nifty (although, it dosn't solve all the problems).

Soback: As long as the US officially ends its trade agreements, I'm perfectly fine with them increasing import tariffs or other regulations involving imports/exports.

Agreed. But they are not going away. In fact, it's only getting worse. Now, people who believe the war in Iraq was justified are labelled "neo-cons" by other conservatives. Funny, I don't feel any different than I did before...
