Going to Pravda for Truth
Commentary by J. A. Davis, 10/30/2009

In all my years of working for the basic principles of the American patriots who seceded from the British, seldom did I or any discerning American consult the Russian controlled Pravda for either guidance or truth.

With all the strange things happening in American history including a mainstream media cover-up of events that people in high places would prefer to be controlled it becomes necessary for inquiring Americans to look at the foreign press.

Believe it or not, Pravda, still the leading public advocate for communism, seems to have it right. They not only report the Road to Socialism America is presently taking, they give some valid evidence of some of the events which prove their point. [See story text below.]

Mainly, they detail the U. S. pull out from the defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic. This has certainly been a touchy subject in Russia.

That defense shield is something I worked toward for years as part of a fledging project called High Frontier. Some antagonists called what we were doing Star Wars. That was and is and intentional effort to discredit a space based system that contains only defensive apparatus.

High Frontier was headed by a number of American notables led by Lt. General Dan Graham. the former head of the largest intelligence agency in the U. S., the Defense Intelligence Agency, and nuclear scientist, Dr. Edward Teller.

My role was to help publicize our efforts along with some lobbying and fund raising in order to keep our visions correctly before the public and the decision makers in Washington. It was purely as a volunteer.

We scored a major victory when President Reagan adopted our system in a program known as The Strategic Defense Initiative. It marked the end of the Cold War as the Soviets were unable to match or cope with what the United States had and was continuing to develop in space defense.

Since their collapse of the Soviet Union, the SDI has continued to be a source of vitriol from the hard line communists and their cheer leaders in the U. S. The planned defensive shield expansion in Europe sent them into a pubic rage and a behind the scenes maneuver with the new administration in Washington.

Pravda is tooting the horn of the Reds as they correctly call the changes taking place with the advent of U. S. Socialism that has been their plan from the earliest days of the Soviet Union.

How many U. S. major market newspapers or television networks do you suppose are as honest?

"A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." --James Madison

America Moving from Kingdom of Cash to Socialism Slowly but Surely

19.10.2009 Source: Pravda.Ru URL: http://english.pravda.ru/world/americas/109973-socialism-0

Obama's decision not to build the Missile Defense System in Poland and the Czech Republic and his Nobel Prize have not yet been comprehended from a philosophical viewpoint. It's time to do it.

Power of Money against Power of Spirit

The last turning point similar to the current one happened approximately 400 years ago. The Western European society discovered a new hierarchy of values. Feudalism that valued service and chivalry was replaced with capitalism. Wealth became the measure of success, and everyone was to care about his own pocket only. The cult of money replaced all other values, including religious.

Capitalism turned everything upside down and made people more excited about stuffing their bank accounts than anything else. This system turned out to be extremely efficient in terms of production of goods, services, and comfort. America benefited from the system the most, and decided that the rest of the world has to adopt it as well. If some underdeveloped countries are unable to appreciate the benefits of capitalism, they should be forced to do it.

Collapse of the Illusion

Meanwhile, philosophers say that capitalism is driven not by hard cash, but rather, striving for hard cash. It's driven not by the production of goods, but rather, striving for consumption of these goods.

If everyone had these values, the "dog-eat-dog" principal would be the major principal in the world history. But America failed to do it. There are plenty of "underdeveloped" people in the world who continue to cherish spiritual values. There are not that many chances left to force them into worshiping money since these "underdeveloped" people adopt western technology and become stronger. The appeal to adopt American values doesn't work either. Why would we adopt the system if the system is in crisis? Pragmatic America realized that billions of people are not willing to live in the kingdom of hard cash and decided that it would be better off leaving this kingdom itself. Now the USA is talking about introducing elements of socialism.

What does Obama's decision not to build the Eastern European Missile Defense System have to do with all of this? Well, it means that it's not capitalism that's undergoing the crisis, but the belief in its high efficiency. And this, in turn, means that America, the bulwark of capitalism, is no longer the boss of the world. And if it's not the boss any more, it has to be friends with everybody, including Russia. And it's America's turn to offer Russia to push the reset button. Or maybe it's just tired of imposing its rules on others and felt that friendship is more valuable than money and power? If this is the case, we will soon witness another turning point in the world history.
