Exposing Marxism in the Church

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

That is the name of a new website and it’s about the US Catholic Church and its takeover at the top by Marxist ideologues.  We’ve written about this before, but I’m interested to see that journalist and investigator Cliff Kincaid has actually created a website on the topic entitled, “Exposing Marxism in the Church,” here.  Not pulling any punches is he?   (Hat tip: Update at Blue Ridge Forum, here)

What is so galling to me, beyond the deception perpetrated on good and sincere Catholics who have no clue how deeply entrenched the “Church” hierarchy is in Hard Left politics, is the fact that much of the funding of, for example, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, comes from the taxpayer.   Do you know we actually fund their Washington, DC office to ostensibly take care of refugees while they engage in political dealings relating to climate change, marriage and illegal aliens?  See my post in February where the Bishops were lobbying Congress to spare them from the budget-cutters who were only trying to protect the taxpayer (and save the country)!

[It is sad to say that even some of the best Conservative Members of Congress do not get how they help fund their own Hard Left political opposition as well as to help build the voting base that will ultimately wipe out Conservatives, by funding the Bishops.]

When you visit Exposing Marxism…, note the Soros (Open Society) connection as well.  It’s just a coincidence that my previous post is also about Soros.  He is everywhere these days!

Soros building a more “welcoming” America and Tennessee is a target

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday, George Soros’ Open Society website ran a feature story on “Welcome to Shelbyville.”  That’s a propaganda film I’ve told you about too many times to count. (See most recently here).  “Open Society” wants you all to know that Tennessee is the model for future “welcoming” initiatives blah, blah, blah.

It all sounds so lovely—reaching out to the world’s downtrodden and “welcoming” them to your town.  What Soros is really welcoming is classic Marxism as the imported “have-nots” will go to war with the “haves.”   And, as this American Thinker article this week tells us, the third worlders will become the voters who assure America’s and Western Civilization’s demise.

From “Importing Disaster…”:

As long as we continue our suicidal immigration policies — where 85 percent of newcomers hail from the Third World and Asia (thanks, Ted Kennedy) — the only thing that will be in question about our descent into socialism, and perhaps beyond, is the rate.

Despite this…. all most conservatives talk about is 2012 this and 2012 that. Yet, what good is fighting for momentary political success if you don’t secure the cultural foundation of which it’s born? And how can you enjoy the latter when the rate of cultural invasion greatly exceeds the rate of assimilation?

Remember that people create the government; government doesn’t create the people. If you replace Westerners with Muslims, you no longer have Christendom (or even the shell of it we now inhabit) but Iran West. And if you replace apple-pie Americans with I-want-your-piece-of-the-pie socialists, you no longer have the US but the USSR redux. Oh, of course, our immigration scheme isn’t replacing us in one fell swoop; instead, it’s happening incrementally, which all the frogs in the frying pan of water don’t really seem to notice much. But as the aforementioned census data demonstrates, those increments are becoming bigger — and more rapid. And a death by a thousand cuts is still a death.

You might want to visit my post of two days ago about Tennessee as those Muslims we “welcomed” to Tennessee rallied at the Capitol over two bills—one to head off any terrorist attack and the other that seeks to re-gain some control by the State of Tennessee for refugee resettlement there.   Thankfully there are some political leaders in that state who aren’t going down without a fight.

Be sure to check out this map and see if you are a target for the “welcoming” socialists.

The Far-Left has deeply infiltrated the so-called “faith community”

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Far-Left Progressives figured out decades ago that in order to control the people and bring about their big government vision of the (borderless) world they needed to get to the churches and take them over (or take over as many as they could).

Saul Alinsky knew this in the 1950s and ’60s.  Later Chicago groups like UNO (United Neighborhood Organization) took up where Alinsky left off.  A mostly Hispanic group, UNO, which Stanley Kurtz, writing in ‘Radical-in-Chief,’ says Obama  worked with in the 1980’s, literally worked to take over entire churches from within.

Now comes a lengthy report from the Center for American Progress (probably just in time for the Easter weekend) to tell us how deeply the Left, with the government as sugar-daddy, is intertwined with the “faith community.”   The article is basically a plea to keep the taxpayer money flowing to “churches” so they can continue to lobby for “social, economic and environmental justice” all the while supposedly helping the poor and downtrodden.  Indeed they say it wouldn’t be fair to now pull them off the government teat.  They need the money to keep the masses in line, dependent on them, and voting Left.

You will have to read the whole thing, but do keep it for future reference because it’s kind of blueprint for which supposed faith groups are in deep with the Socialists (Marxists) at John Podesta’s (and Van Jones’) Center for American Progress.  As you prepare for the Holy days ahead, be sure to check out whether your faith group is a friend of the Socialists.

At the end of the article, the authors quote a supposed Catholic nun (I say supposed because she isn’t Catholic in my view*) who sums up exactly what is happening:

Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK—a leading Catholic social justice advocacy organization—said in an interview for this article that the budget battle is more than a war of numbers and words. It is a fight “for the soul of our nation.”

It is indeed a fight for the soul of our nation—will we be a free country or a Communist country, that is the essence of what we are fighting over!

* We know the whole US Conference of Catholic Bishops has gone far Left.   I’m ready for a breakaway Catholic Church, does anyone know if there is one?

“Massive crisis” in immigration courts, gee, I wonder why?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Crashing the system (any system it seems) is the modus-operandi of the radical Left these days.   We have the Cloward-Piven strategists busy crashing the welfare system, the union thugs planning to crash the banks in May and we have the pro-migration/open borders gang crashing the immigration court system by urging more and more people to seek asylum in the US.

This story, hat tip Paul, begins with the dramatic tale of a woman from Cameroon who spent five years trying to get asylum in the US—this after abandoning her children including an approximately 5 year old girl in Africa.    Give me a break!  This story sounds so ridiculously phony no wonder it took five years and two whiz-bang lawyers to get her through the process.

You can go read the story yourself, here.

I’m reminded of the Somalis I wrote about here—young men and women with no English language skills managing to get tens of thousands of dollars and phony passports needed for the circuitous trip to the US (including a stop in Cuba) who then arrive on our border and say—give me asylum, I’m being persecuted.  It strains credulity and leads me to believe that they are getting advance help from people within the United States.

Just ask yourselves, how does some poor woman from Cameroon (depicted in this article) have the where-with-all to get all the way across the world, get into the US and have two sharp lawyers ready and able to get her through the legal system?   And, then she brings her previously abandoned and mostly grown children to join her.

In March of 2010, I attended the 30th anniversary celebration of the passage of the Refugee Resettlement Act of 1980.  Here is one post I wrote at the time.   I wondered then about how much of the conference was being devoted to talking about these immigration courts and asylum generally.  Now I realize that they have been at this for some time—expanding the use of the asylum process to get more and more immigrants into the US. A program that was originally expected to allow the odd ballet dancer to defect (according to Doris Meissner mentioned here) has become a major avenue for bringing third worlders into the US—heck, I guess the refugee program at 80,000 or so a year wasn’t doing it fast enough.

Maybe before its too late someone involved in the scheme will realize how this is all part of a plan to bring down America as we know it and blow the whistle (but I won’t hold my breath!).

Mexican “refugees,” the Catholic Church and organized labor….

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

….the gang’s all here!

Here is an article that is so chocked full of interesting information, I don’t know where to start.   So, just a few things that caught my eye.

There is an increasing campaign by pro-migration forces to refer to illegal aliens coming across the US/Mexican border as “refugees” escaping the drug violence.   This article in Mexidata.info opens with your standard dramatic effect.

Shrouded in burka-like attire, the anonymous woman was suddenly transformed into “nobody.” Her eyes concealed by a pair of huge shades, the Mexican woman told the large crowd assembled at central El Paso’s Catholic Daughter’s Hall how she came to live in the United States without papers.

Once a professional with a bright future ahead of her, the woman claimed she left Mexico because extortion, kidnapping, murder and threats cascaded on her family in a land of impunity.

Part of a growing population of Mexican refugees from the so-called drug war, the mystery presenter spoke of a “constant pain in the stomach and pressure in the chest” that well up from living with a constant fear of deportation and possible separation from her refugee children.

The meeting was put on by a Catholic Church-related organization (ho-hum what else is new):

The refugee’s captivating speech was heard at an April 2 immigration forum organized by Annunciation House, a Catholic-sponsored migrant shelter in El Paso.

And, here we have the involvement in migration issues of Marxist organized labor:

In remarks to the forum, Texas state Senator Jose Rodriguez (D-El Paso) said anti-immigrant sentiment was sweeping Mexico, Europe, the US and his own home state, where more than 100 pieces of “anti-immigrant legislation” were recently introduced in the state capital of Austin.

Simultaneously, a state budget deficit of $23-$27 billion was encouraging a state political leadership wielding “wrong priorities” to put education and social services on the chopping block, Rodriguez contended.

A long-serving El Paso county attorney before he won the seat formerly held by retiring state Senator Eliot Shapleigh last year, Rodriguez endorsed comprehensive immigration reform, grassroots mobilization and cross-border labor organizing initiatives like the one pursued by the United Electrical Workers and Mexico’s Authentic Workers Front.

Rodriguez said anti-immigrant and anti-labor measures have galvanized numerous public protests in Austin during the current legislative session, with a big, statewide day of action on April 6. “Pressure has results,” he insisted.

I doubt legitimate American electrical workers have any interest in socialist labor organizing and migration issues involving Mexico—-except if they knew union bosses were busily importing workers (voters) to compete with them.

Read the whole article it’s very informative.
