Wealth Redistribution Hugo Chavez Style

According to Guillermo Chochez, a former Panamanian Ambassador to OAS, Chavez has been dead for at least 7 days after he was disconnected from respirators. Chochez cites Venezuelan government sources, which he said he could not reveal because he gave his word as a journalist that he would not.

According to all Socialists, Marxists and Communists, their ideology is better than others because what it was at its core is the proper redistribution of wealth. They explain that the rich must pay their share in taxes to support the poorest and that the government must be the sole giver and taker to promote social justice.

Hugo Chavez’ death is certainly not news now. But perhaps the news is the way he went about redistributing Venezuelan wealth to himself and his family. That’s right, if corporate Fascism is well-known by its goal of amassing power and stealing everything else later in back door, under the table, secret dealings, Marxists, Socialists and Communists are easily identified with hoarding resources for themselves.

As it turns out, Hugo Chavez’ death leaves Venezuela worse than it was back in 1999, when Chavez came into public light. The country is more divided than ever, and current vice-president Nicolas Maduro has deployed police and military to the streets as a preventive measure in case riots break out. But behind all the spectacle composed by social network reactions from friends and foes, people lose the opportunity to know another side of the Bolivarian Revolutionary’s way to do business.

Much like the Castro family in Cuba, the Chavez family managed to accumulate billions of dollars in cash that Chavez diverted while in power. According to Criminal Justice International Associates (CJIA), Hugo Chavez stole and redistributed about $2 billion from the country’s oil trade and has left it as an inheritance to his family. CJIA estimates that Venezuela’s former leader amassed a fortune just as oligarchs amass power and control through their monopoly oriented business model.

“The personal fortune of the Castro brothers has been estimated at a combined value of around $2 billion,” says Jerry Brewer, President of CJIA. “The Chávez Frías family in Venezuela has amassed a fortune of a similar scale since the arrival of Chávez to the presidency in 1999,” he added. His assessment is part of a complete report published by CJIA on its website.

Besides stealing $2 billion from the Venezuelan people, Chavez also made sure that his dear friend Fidel Castro and his family received a nice chunk from Venezuela’s oil sales. Brewer estimates that Castro’s loyalty cost Venezuelan’s around $5 billion per year, which includes oil shipments and other resources. That my friends is wealth redistribution Chavez style.

The CJIA President went even further to say that behind the transfer of Venezuelan funds to Cuba and other Chavez’ allies, there is an organized mafia composed by criminal groups which have defrauded Venezuela of about $100 billion in the last 12 years.

The $100 billion extracted by Chavez and his cabal of thugs from the pockets of the Venezuelan people is, however, a penny in the bucket compared to what Republicans and Democrats steal from the American people, for example, or how many millions of dollars in taxes are not paid by international corporations who close back room deals with governments to evade the payment of taxes.

Facebook recently got a tax exemption from the American government that amounts to $429 million. Other powerful political donors to both parties like Google, Apple and Microsoft are also allowed to send their profits abroad, which enables them to evade tax collection. Google alone cut its tax payments by $3.1 billion between 2007 and 2010. Meanwhile, Apple hides $1 billion a week in profits the company should pay taxes on. According to a U.S. Congressional memo, Microsoft uses subsidiaries in places like Bermuda, Singapore and Puerto Rico to save itself some $6.5 billion in taxes.

As it is abundantly clear, neither the Socialist nor the crony Capitalist wealth redistribution style is ‘just’ as supporters blindly believe them to be. While Chavez’ detractors celebrate in his death in abundance, his supporters are surely mourning his departure in equal or worse social and economic condition than they were before Chavez came into power.

Communism: The Imminent Threat

By LUIS MIRANDA | THE REAL AGENDA | FEBRUARY 18, 2013

According to mainline history, Communism and its allies Marxism and Socialism ended with the fall of the Soviet Union on 26 December 1991, after the USSR was dissolved by declaration № 142-H. After the supposed dissolution, it was agreed that a Commonwealth of Independent States would enter into existence, a move that was facilitated by President Mikhail Gorbachev’s resignation, which also meant the ‘extinction’ of his position in government. All too easy to be truth, right? That is because it is not true.

None of the aforementioned ideologies disappeared back in 1991. They are still grave threats to world affairs today. In fact, what really happened back in 1991 was not the fall of Communism, but its move to an underground operation, where it’s been planning a comeback. The fall of the Soviet Union was not the end of the Communist threat, but the beginning of the next phase in world conquest by the same powers that financed and supported Marxist and Fascist regimes all over the planet. The new Marxist stronghold would no longer be concentrated in Asia. It spread like cancerous cells that are extirpated only to come back wilder and stronger.

One of the strongest centers of underground Communism and Marxism would be, surprise, surprise, the heart of the new and solitary Empire: The United States of America. That’s right. Mass nationalization of large sectors of the economy, as in government bailouts, redistribution of wealth, which incidentally hasn’t gone to the poorest people and a series of unfortunate events that began decades ago are bread crumbs left for the rise of the new global Marxist power.

Lately, a strong movement to discredit government opposition was unveiled. The move to smash those who oppose nationalization and wealth redistribution is led by government-owned main stream media — corporate media that received taxpayer funds in their own version of a financial rescue.

Political incorrectness is now called racism and vociferous opposition to government policies is equaled to terrorism. Whoever dares to challenge the government is rapidly labeled a lunatic who needs mental help. Main stream media personalities now call for the heads of alternative journalists and citizens who decided to stop watching the government-fed propaganda on cable and network news.

After faking an open war against Al-Qaeda, the U.S. government is warning about the new domestic threats: Conservatives, libertarians, religious people, veterans, pro-life and Second Amendment supporters are closely watched by the growing surveillance apparatus.

With most of the main stream media in its pocket, the U.S. government uses its spying network to exercise censorship over those with opposing views, mainly through public-private partnerships with Google, Facebook, Twitter and technology manufacturers such as Raytheon, which developed an all-seeing eye spy software capable of hoarding and analyzing large amounts of information circulating on the web. The internet as it turns out, is the government’s most powerful tool to spread lies and disinformation, but it is also its worst nightmare.

Recently, a series of mass shootings that took place all over the United States, thought to be false-flag or instigated events were used as tools for the orchestration of a countrywide psychological operation that seeks to disarm the population. Disarmament is unequivocally the last step a government takes before a repressive regime is fully installed.

It has happened before in Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and only the foolish in North America believe that it can’t happen there. The U.S. government announced that Barack Obama will sign the United Nations Arms Treaty, which will ultimately yield control on firearms sales. purchases and manufacturing to the international organization located in New York City.

After a mass disarmament movement that renders the U.N., not the U.S. government or the American people as the decider, the next step is the creation of a paramilitary force, which was announced by Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign. That is not an Army or a civilian militia that would be formed by freely armed citizens, but a group of government controlled thug force.

The National Civilian Security Force that should be as large and as powerful as the U.S. Army itself will not be in place to defend the country from foreign or domestic threats, but to deal with unruly Americans. It would be something similar to the Brown Shirts.

Amazingly, the creation of Barack Obama’s National Civilian Security Force was not done directly through legislation or a presidential executive order. It was sneaked into the Obamacare legislation. According to various paragraphs of the health care law, which was given the green light by the U.S. Supreme Court, the government mandates the commissioning of officers, who, in time of a national crisis, will report directly to the president. That is what Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin calls a “constabulary force that will control the population”.

General Boykin is not the only American concerned about the advance of Marxism in the United States. People like Paul Craig Roberts, the father of Reaganomics, also wrote about the growing Police State. “The Bush regime’s response to 9/11 and the Obama regime’s validation of this response have destroyed accountable democratic government in the United States. So much unaccountable power has been concentrated in the executive branch that the US Constitution is no longer an operable document,” wrote Roberts in his piece It has Happened Here.

Roberts cites the Patriot Act, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the initiation of wars of aggression, the use of  torture, the indefinite detention of US citizens and consequent elimination of Habeas Corpus and due process, the creation of military tribunals and the secret legal memos giving the president authority to launch preemptive cyber attacks on any country, as proof that the United States is already an acting Police State.

“I think America is rapidly moving towards Marxism,” said Lt. General Boykin during a speech on September 11, 2012.

So what is awaiting the United States and the rest of the world if everything continues to go the way Barack Obama, Jose Manuel Barroso, François Hollande, Mario Draghi and their elitist mentors want? Let’s first understand what they planned to do and how they planned to achieve it.

Marxists always saw revolution as the way to carry out their agenda. The type of revolution they practice, however, is not one led by real ideas and real change, but one spurred by violence. Violence always needs a trigger, a drop that overflows the glass so that the people think it is good to support such violence. In the 21st century, racial and class warfare are the reflections of the plan crafted by Marxists who went underground decades ago.

As Lt. Gen. Boykin explains, Marxists planned to use their ideology to create cultural revolution that would be sustained by the most sacred teachings of radical Marxist thinkers. They also planned to introduce a messiah-like figure, who would publicly lead their revolution. Their operation would need to be well-financed to be strong and effective, so they drafted loyal and rich sponsors.

Following the teachings of Saul Alinsky, the Marxists began a strong community organizing movement, whose expansion was financed in the United States by George Soros. They understood that to change society, the transformation had to start from the bottom and grow all the way to the top. Such transformation was not necessary in every single institution or government organization, but on the minds of a few selected men and women who would work for the introduction and reaffirmation of their agenda: to have a Marxist-Socialist and then Communist regime in the United States.

For the Marxist revolution to work, the movement would need as many supporters as possible, and the best way to attract the largest masses was to promise a paradise to every member of society who had ears for their message.

– How would you like to work until you are 52 years old and then retire to live on a pension the rest of your life? Wouldn’t you enjoy having free healthcare for yourself and your family?

– Of course I would, sir. What do I have to do to get it?

– First of all, think about why does that white guy across the street and his family have it and you don’t.

– And then?

– Well, you deserve all that and more. But for you to get it, you have to demand it from government. Believe me, you are entitled to every single penny.

So, where did the government get money to pay for entitlement programs? It got neck-deep into debt. For baby boomers and others to retire and live the rest of their lives as kings, –compared to the poor– the government assigned thousands of dollars of debt to thousands of unborn and their siblings who would have to work their whole lives to pay for the socialist programs promised to the people.

This phenomenon did not only occur in the United States, but in Europe as well. Entitlement programs went from being plans to help the needy, to the largest jackpot ever created. As long as paychecks made their way to savings accounts all over Europe and the U.S., the people lived happily.

But the money dried up. Socialism had failed again. The growing list of bills coming from entitlement programs, whose reserves never existed or were burglarized by the bankers, overthrew the socialist dream that preached how government was the origin of everything good and hearty.

In Europe and other parts of the world, the birth to death ratio further enhanced the funding crisis for the entitlement programs, because in many countries the next generation will not make it in time, or will not make it at all, to continue supporting the entitlement system. In the United States, pension funds, –both public and private– savings and investment accounts were ransacked by irresponsible firms that bet high with everyone else’s money.

The impossibility to substitute the baby boomers with a new generation of debt slaves worked perfectly well for the Marxist movement, which had just the ‘right’ solution for the lack of workers: inundate the country with illegal immigrants, who according to Barack Obama’s own words, will soon become legal; either by passing ‘comprehensive immigration reform’ legislation in Congress or by the stroke of his pen.

Giving free green cards to 30 million violators of U.S. immigration laws –not 11 million– will not only guarantee that the debt enslavement of new generations composed by illegals will continue, but also that the movement will have plenty of support from the unsuspecting illegal aliens who are not capable of understanding that they are being brought to the plantation to become the future mules.

Just as in the United States the ‘majority’ will soon enough change skin color, in Europe, countries have also been invaded by North Africans and Middle Eastern immigrants who are reproducing at a rate of 5.6%; much higher than natives of the Anglo-Saxon regions of the world. Just as North Africans and people from the Middle East will overrun Europe, Latinos will take over in the United States.

What’s the problem with Latinos or North Africans taking over? Well, most of these people –both in the U.S. and Europe– come from places where they are taught to hate whites and where whites are blamed for the inequality they’ve lived in for generations. They are coming to take what they think is theirs. The minds of the new wave of immigrants are filled with what Karl Marx used to believe:

There are two classes: The workers, who have no control over anything, and the wealthy, who own it all. (Except the people who the illegal immigrants think are the wealthy, are not really so.)

Where did the middle class go? In Marx’s brain, it doesn’t exist. It is the 99% versus the 1%. For Marx and his students, this scenario is perfect, because it provides the perfect conditions for their dreamed revolution. Is there a more effective way to rally people than to tell them that it is necessary to overrun their neighbors to be like the rich 1%? It is a darn effective way to drive the masses, isn’t it?

Only the so-called liberal media, who is funded by George Soros and the U.S. Federal Government has the audacity to tell people who it is fair for the richest people to pay more taxes, because they earn more. Unfortunately, those ‘rich’ people are not the heads of corporations who live abroad and who hide their cash in tax heavens. Those guys and their corporations are grossly exempted from paying taxes, because the government says so.

Bill Gates, George Soros, Warren Buffet and others, who incidentally call for more taxes on the rich, are always free from taxation. The rich people often referenced in Marxist talking points, who need to collaborate with the massive wealth redistribution are in reality members of the middle class.

Even though the top 10 percent pays about 70% in income taxes and the top 5 percent pays around 40%, the Marxists allege that it is just for them to pay more. Remember, this top 10 or top 5 percent does not include the really wealthy, who hide and launder their monies through foundations and charities.

So why do the Marxist and their financiers support more taxes? It is simply a talking point used in their class warfare strategy to divide the people into groups and to have them fight against each other while the richest of the rich continue to hide their monopolies and wealth behind ‘kind’ initiatives.

Socialism, the other arm of the elite’s body that controls a large part of the population, was imposed on most of Europe under the lie that it was Capitalism. Countries were allowed to run a washed out version of Capitalism that was tightly controlled by government socialism. Under this scheme, the elite’s puppets distribute the wealth from the beginning, so that they do not have to face opposition when re-distributing it.

Government ‘naturally’ distributed the wealth to its accomplices, the wealthiest people, the 0.001%, who in turn steer government to do what they want. But even this Socialism dressed as Capitalism, crony Capitalism, could not stand the test of time. It has crumbled to the ground in a controlled fashion, because it, as a system of control, does not work anymore.

This form of Socialism, still practiced in places like Brazil and the United States, which normally gives way to Communism, is not the type that Karl Marx talked about back in the 1800s. It is the type of Socialism and then Communism implemented by Joseph Stalin. Stalin’s Communism is the one where everything belongs to the Party Government, not to the people. In it, the Party Government is the only and highest power. The type of social organization imagined by Marx or Lenin has never been applied.

Countries where this ideology stands today, are places where people receive what the Party Government wants to give them. In a sense, the elite uses Socialism as a launching pad, a smokescreen that hides the truth and that supports all the empty promises made by Party and Government. In its last stages, and through the transformation from Socialism to Communism, members of the elite, who are also members of the Party Government, hoard it all, including production, infrastructure, military power and of course control of Government. Cases in point: Cuba, Venezuela, China, Brazil. Little if nothing is given to the poor, who by now have been joined by the middle class in their misery.

Is it possible to see any resemblance in the way modern western countries manage themselves today? The western world is not being threatened by Marxism, Socialism or Communism, it has been taken over by it.

Democracy, Socialism, Communism, Fascism and almost any other political ideology or social movement have always been controlled by the same people and have always been used to divide and conquer, much like religion has been used to divide civilizations throughout history.

Democracy, the rule of the mob, Socialism, the rule of the Party, Fascism, the rule of the dictator and Communism the rule of the elite have something in common: They are tools used to separate the masses into small farms from where the people are controlled and made to fight against each other while the truly rich loot them all down to the last breath.

All Marxists, Socialists and Communists know how to destroy societies. Vladimir Lenin said it himself when describing his plan to destroy the United States:

“America is like a healthy body and his resistance is threefold: Its patriotism, its morality and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.”

Hasn’t the job been carried out almost to perfection?

Is Obama a Marxist or Socialist? None, he works for the Bankers

When it comes to who the president serves, Obama is no different from Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr., Carter or Reagan

Kurt Nimmo

Glenn Beck, the Fox News talking heads, and no shortage of Tea Party activists like to characterize Barry Obama as a Marxist. In an article gaining a lot of traction across the blogosphere, Wayne Allyn Root, who considers himself a Libertarian Republican, says Obama is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure in order to turn the U.S. into a socialist/Marxist state.

Obamacare, cap-and-trade, legalizing 12 million illegal aliens, increased taxation, and endless bailouts and stimulus boondoggles, Root argues, are schemes designed to overwhelm the system and pave the way for a Marxist takeover of America.

It cannot be denied these schemes will destroy America. It also cannot be denied they are intentional. However, it has nothing to do with Marxism.

Marx advocated a proletarian revolution. He said that in order to overcome the restraint of private property the working class must seize political power through a social revolution and expropriate the capitalist classes around the world and place the productive capacities of society into collective ownership. Marx said the ultimate goal is a a classless and stateless form of communism beneficial to the interests of the proletariat or the working class.

Is it possible the Federal Reserve and Goldman Sachs operatives in the Obama administration truly desire a communist revolution as Glenn Beck and Wayne Allyn Root insist?

During the 2008 election cycle, Goldman Sachs donated nearly a million bucks to Obama. Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase donated nearly $1.5 million to the Obama campaign while Morgan Stanley pitched in over a half million dollars. “When you break it out by individual companies, you find that employees of Goldman Sachs gave more to Obama than workers of any other employer. The Goldman Sachs geniuses are followed by employees of the University of California, UBS, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, National Amusements, Lehman Brothers, Harvard and Google. At many of these workplaces, Obama has a three- or four-to-one fund-raising advantage over McCain,” the New York Times wrote on July 1, 2008.

Is it possible all these folks are clueless about the supposed Marxist philosophy of Obama? Is it possible transnational corporations and international banks savvy enough to game the system for trillions of dollars support a communist system that would ultimately strip them of that wealth?

Goldman along with the Federal Reserve rule the Obama administration. William C. Dudley was the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a partner and managing director at Goldman. Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, spent 18 years at Goldman. Mark Patterson, chief of staff to Tim Geithner, is a former Goldman lobbyist. Philip Murphy, nominated for ambassador to Germany, is a former Goldman executive. Diana Farrell, deputy director of the National Economic Council, is a former Goldman employee. Emil Michael, White House fellow, used to be an investment banker at Goldman.

Obama functionaries are connected to the CFR and the Trilateral Commission, two organizations established to implement world government. Tim Geithner, Susan Rice, Pete Peterson, Gen. James Jones, Thomas Donilion, Paul Volker, Dennis Blair, Richard Haass, Dennis Ross, Richard Holbrooke and others have connections to the Trilateral Commission, the Federal Reserve, the CFR, and Bilderbergers.

“We can be quite sure that somewhere between 400 to 500 high-level members of the Obama administration will be members of the CFR. How can we say that? Because that’s about how many CFR members occupy the current Bush administration (beginning with Vice President Dick Cheney, an in-again, out-again member of the CFR board of directors). And about the same number occupied posts in the Clinton administration,” John F. McManus wrote in November of 2008 after Obama was selected to be the front man for the banksters.

Obama’s mischaracterized socialism is a control mechanism created by the bankers. It has nothing to do with liberating downtrodden workers. The Soviet system was financed by Wall Street, as Rep. Louis T. McFadden, chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee throughout the 1920-30s, explained: “The course of Russian history has, indeed, been greatly affected by the operations of international bankers… The Soviet Government has been given United States Treasury funds by the Federal Reserve Board… acting through the Chase Bank.”

The late Antony Sutton’s exhaustive research demonstrates how Wall Street bankers supported and financed the Russian revolution, supported the Soviet Union financially, technologically and military both before and after the Second World War, and also supported Hitler and Nazi Germany financially and military both before and during the Second World War.

The monopoly men who exported jobs from America to slave labor gulags in China and are now in the process of looting the financial system are not dedicated Marxists. The late Gary Allen wrote:

If you wanted to control the nation’s manufacturing, commerce, finance, transportation and natural resources, you would need only to control the apex, the power pinnacle, of an all-powerful socialist government. Then you would have a monopoly and could squeeze out all your competitors. If you wanted a national monopoly, you must control a national socialist government. If you want… a worldwide monopoly, you must control a world socialist government. That is what the game is all about. “Communism” is not a movement of the downtrodden masses but is a movement created, manipulated and used by power-seeking billionaires in order to gain control over the world…. first by establishing socialist governments in the various nations and then consolidating them all through a “Great Merger,” into an all-powerful world, socialist super-state.

The Obama banker-CFR-Trilat-Bilderberg administration is the process of forging this “Great Merger” and is moving inexorably toward an all-powerful world, socialist super-state. Obama’s socialism will not emancipate the workers of America. It will further impoverish and enslave them.

As we approach the mid-term elections, the deceptive claim that Obama is a Marxist will pick up steam and will be exploited by the Tea Party movement as it attempts to get Republicans masquerading as patriots and constitutionalists elected to office.

Glenn Beck and Wayne Allyn Root need to reexamine and stop chanting the ludicrous Obama is a Marxist mantra and point out what Obama really is — a sock puppet reading a teleprompter for his employer: the control freaks at the international banks and multinational corporations.
