SOCIALISM = FREEDOM

SOCIALISM = FREEDOM

IS SOCIALISM GOOD?

 

For all those who idolize socialists, (Martin Luther King Jr., Che Guevara, Ferdinand Marcos, Abraham Lincoln, Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong, et cetera) lemme just give you a heads up on what Communism really is and how much it promotes every wicked thing imaginable – more than what any college class on political science will ever dare to tell you about.

 

If socialism equals freedom, it is this.

 

Freedom to be stolen from, imprisoned without cause, killed without warning, stripped of all the physical and financial blessings that God made you a steward of… Freedom to recognize the “State” as the only “religion” (humanism at its best), freedom to fight with your neighbor/family member/workmate over the last potato, a favor at the labor camp, a boot, a cup, a jug of water, a half-liter of gas – and since all men are equal (equally broke), all the riches, prosperity, honor and glory go to the government.

 

You may say, “Everybody will be equal. All the things that we need will be free for all to have and enjoy. Who doesn’t want that?”

 

Okay, good point. You’ll have free stuff.

 

FREE EVERYTHING

 

First up, free work. You work for free. You live, to work. You work, to live. Pretty simple cycle. You MAY get two beans in your soup for a 10-14 hour workday, you come home to your concrete apartment (which is exactly the same as 200 million others) on your polluted, crime-infested street to your depressed wife and malnourished children. And at night, in silence – for fear of microphones in the ceiling, you pray to a God that you’re not supposed to believe in…that life would end, and put you out of your misery.

Free education. To fill you up with the religion of humanism, and teach you the lie of the evolution of man. The big-bang theory. BANG! BAM! ZAP! Ha ha! You’ve been fooled, sucker!

 

Free hospitalization. That either means that you lay on a lice-infested cot in an overcrowded hospital until death, or that you get sent to a “correction center” where they pump experimental drugs into you until what’s left of you is part demoniac, and part schizophrenic. All in the name of “re-education”.

 

Free religion. You’re free to die for what you believe in. Sooner rather than later. Bullet in the back of the head? If you’re lucky. Try reading “Tortured for Christ” to get a better idea of what that’s really like. Are you offended yet? Try asking Richard Wurmbrand if that was offensive to him.

 

Free nuclear warfare. You know what socialists are soooo excited about? Blowing up stuff! You thought that the Iraq conflict was bad, that the American Civil war was bad, and that two wars for American independence were bad. Well, you’re in for a surprise!

 

World War I, World War II, the Vietnam war. The Cold war, when everybody in the West was afraid of incoming nuclear rockets from the USSR. All the various Russian conflicts with its neighboring countries. China sending in tanks on their own people in the Boxers rebellion. Russia sending its thousands upon thousands of veterans to death camps in Siberia. North Korea? Wants to nuke their own people over a conflict that is more than 50 years old. Warsaw. Berlin. Stalingrad. Moscow. Havana. Beijing. All these killing grounds.

 

It never ends. It just repeats its deadly cycle.

 

Don’t believe me yet? Do you think I’m making this all up?
Find out for yourself. It’s the information age, don’t stay ignorant.

 

Here are a few notable socialists.

 

 

 

TRUE SOCIALISM

 

* Joseph Stalin – killed millions of his own people. He was the cool dude that came up with “one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic”. Nice guy.

 

* Adolf Hitler tried to wipe out whole “races” of people he didn’t see fit to live (especially European Jews), and to make sure that the Hideous Roman Conglomerate didn’t mess with him – he made friends with their fascist dictator Mussolini and signed a concordat with the head honcho Antichrist of the time, Pope Pius XII. Long live Satan.

 

* Abraham Lincoln used the slave issue to get more people on the bandwagon for fighting against the South, when before the war, parts of both the North and South had ongoing slave trade of blacks. He emancipated the slaves in a political move to get more support. So, he was a great orator. He also was a typical double tongued, grab any opportunity politician just like most others on this list.

 

* Ferdinand Marcos used socialism as a way to extort, steal, pocket, and take away all the Philippine wealth that he could before he was sent to rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life. Yes, during his rule some economic moves were made that benefited the country. Yes, he stole about 500,000,000,000 PHP of it. That’s the documented part. What is that number? That’s right. More than 500 billion pesos. Try to count that in 100 peso bills. See if it helps. In hundreds, that’s 5,000,000,000 (5 billion) individual 100 peso bills.

 

* Karl Marx’s books (that are being read in major universities) caused more dictatorships and more bloody massacres of innocent people in the name of “Socialism” than he would’ve ever imagined, troubled person that he was. His book wasn’t worth the paper to write it on. Had they lived during the same time periods, he would have been good friends with Genghis Khan, Constantine, Titus, Nero, Julius Caesar, and the like.

 

* Che Guevara? He was a guerrilla fighter and I hear he was good buddies with the saint Fidel Castro. He was his main executioner. Mass-murderer. He was good with the cameras. Cubans today (50 years after his death) that say ANYTHING against him will be imprisoned and shot, or the other way around.

 

 

CONCLUSION

 

You know, socialism isn’t new. In the Bible, the city of Babel had it going on. They put all the folks into a city, had them all speaking one common language, and they built a big tower to communicate with extraterrestrial beings (aliens – known in the Bible as devils), trying to get into heaven. Does it sound like America’s space program yet?

 

During the famine that is written about in the later part of Genesis, the current Pharaoh introduced communism by buying up all the land of the people in exchange for keeping them alive. After using the Jewish slave Joseph as his minister to offer help to the hungry masses, the Egyptians in their gratitude enslaved Joseph’s family and descendants for 400 years. Ever wonder how the treasure cities and the pyramids were built? Slave labor.

 

My question for you is, will it be okay with you if Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. become the new Warsaw, Berlin, and Moscow?
What about Manila, or Singapore? Where do you live?

 

Are you ready for a police state? If not, while you have a voice to speak against evil, do so. May God help you.

Hold the Fort (Guitar Solo)

Hold the Fort – Guitar Solo
This is a great hymn of the faith showing the Christian’s battle against the world. Our blessed hope is that Christ is coming back soon to “deliver us from this present evil world” (Galatians 1:4). Fight the good fight! Our God will perform the good work that He has started in us until the day of Christ.

https://web.facebook.com/JohnVarneyGuitarist/videos/1560810427552030/

Lyrics:
Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.
Refrain:
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” Jesus signals still;
Wave the answer back to Heaven, “By Thy grace we will.”
See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on;
Mighty ones around us falling, courage almost gone!
See the glorious banner waving! Hear the trumpet blow!
In our Leader’s Name we triumph over every foe.
Fierce and long the battle rages, but our help is near;
Onward comes our great Commander, cheer, my comrades, cheer!

And Can It Be (Guitar Cover)

AND CAN IT BE – Guitar Cover
This great hymn of the faith was written by Charles Wesley.

Lyrics:
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain—
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Thanks for watching!

He Lives on High (GTR)

This song is a great way to remember Christ’s death and resurrection. He is risen from the grave. We should keep this to memory. He died and was risen again back to life for our eternal salvation through Him. Thank you for listening!

Sweet Hour of Prayer (GTR)

SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER – Guitar Instrumental

This hymn has been very close to me through the years, especially when we sing it in church for Wednesday night prayer meetings. Truly one of the best songs about prayer we have in our hymnbook.

Lyrics:

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you’ve already figured out

Chorus:
I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
With a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on
I’m barely holdin’ on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I’m an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they’re still looking for life
(Repeat Chorus)
I’m hangin’ on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I’m hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven’t forgotten my way home

(Repeat Chorus)

LYRICS:
Pagod ka na ba O kaibigan sa ‘yong paghahanap
Inaasam na kaligayahan kailan magaganap
Hindi mo ba alam na ikaw ay nakatungtong naman
Sa kayamanang naghihintay lang na ‘yong matuklasan

Maalala ko pa si Tatang tuwing nagkakape
Isang ginintuang pangaral, ito ang kanyang sabi

Koro:
Sa mundong kay hirap maging masaya
Lalong-lao na’t marami nang bagay na mapagpipilian
Sana’y ma-alaala natin na ang kasiyaha’y kalimitan
Sa kaunti’t ordinaryong mga bagay matatagpuan
Tulad lang ng isang tasa ng kape

Sa gabi’t araw ay magpasalamat sa Dios na Maylikha
Sinumang lumimot sa pinagmulan ang tunay na dukha
Ang ‘yong magulang, anak, kaibigan lang pahalagahan
Kapag nangarap at umibig laging may paraan

LYRICS:
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I’m not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, “If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?”

Some try to hand me money, they don’t understand
I’m not broke – I’m just a broken-hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do?
How can I move on when I’m still in love with you?

[Chorus:]
‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
And you’ll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I’m not moving, I’m not moving

Policeman says, “Son, you can’t stay here.”
I said, “There’s someone I’m waiting for if it’s a day, a month, a year.
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows.
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.”
[Chorus:]

People talk about the guy that’s waiting on a girl, oh ohh
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world, hmm

And maybe I’ll get famous as the man who can’t be moved
Maybe you won’t mean to but you’ll see me on the news
And you’ll come running to the corner
‘Cause you’ll know it’s just for you
I’m the man who can’t be moved
I’m the man who can’t be moved

[Chorus:]

[Chorus:]
‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
(So I’m not moving)
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
(I’m not moving)
Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
(I’m not moving)
And you’ll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
(I’m not moving)

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I’m not gonna move
