Cuba and Germany

I thought I’d share this with you today.  It’s copied from an e-mail sent to me by my brother.  What do Cuba and Germany have in common with each other?  Most of their citizens had no idea what was about to take place as a result of who came to power there.  Here it is:

This is what is slowly happening today…..

 What others see plainly, we often ignore.

*Here’s something to think about.*

I remember asking dad about Castro when I was about 9 years old. I asked, “Is Castro a good guy or bad?”

 

Dad said…he couldn’t tell!! This was about 1955. We were living in Louisiana …at the time. Dad was in the Army there.

 

Cuba was fairly close and in the news a lot. The Cubans were asking the same question!

 

Ike was president.

 

This past July, we had the pleasure of sharing a summer barbecue with a refugee from Cuba . Our dinner conversation was starkly different than most.

 

This refugee came to the United States as a young boy in the early 1960’s. His family was more fortunate than most, as they were able to bring a suitcase…and $100 when they fled Castro’s newly formed revolutionary paradise.

 

Our dinner consisted of all-American fare: hamburgers, potato salad, watermelon and fresh ears of sweet corn. This is a menu shared with family and friends nationwide…while celebrating the birth of our beloved America …..on the Fourth of July.

 

We began with a simple discussion about our country, and the direction it has taken since Barack Obama came to power. We shared the usual complaints about the sour economy and liberal social engineering emanating from the rulers in Washington .

 

But then he said it. The sentence came naturally. I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a freight train. “You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a Communist”.

 

We sat stunned. He continued, “Yes, we all thought he was a patriot, a nationalist. Before the revolution he didn’t sound like a radical.”

 

The comparison at this point was easy, and I interjected, “You mean just like Barack Obama?”

 

He responded; “Yes, just like Barack Obama.”

 

He continued, “We were all shocked as the government just continued to grab more power. First they said the revolution is over, so please turn in your guns. We all complied.”

 

I remember my uncle saying after it started; “Castro will only nationalize some of the big industries. He will never come and take our family hardware store!!” But that is exactly what happened. Castro started with the sugar mills and the large industries, but they eventually came and knocked on the door of our family hardware store. My family had run this store for generations. They said we now own the hardware store, you work for us. And that nice, large four-bedroom home you own…it is now our property also, and…you can move yourself and five children into two rooms of the house, because others are moving in with you.”    (This is the same thing that happened in Russia when the communists took over.)

 

The lesson learned from this discussion, is a lesson most Americans refuse to hear. Political leaders can lie about their agenda and once in office…they can take totally unexpected turns.

 

If you had asked us three years ago if we thought General Motors would be nationalized, we would have never believed it. We could never contemplate a country where the rule of law, the most fundamental building block of a justice society…would be evaporating, just like it did in Castro’s Cuba in the early 1960’s.

 

But the news of injustice keeps increasing. Black Panthers are not charged with wrong doing by the U.S. Department of Justice…because their crimes are against whites. The bondholders of GM are stripped of their assets…without due process by the government! Governmental leaders are bribed in full daylight…only to have all investigation of the crimes stifled…by the Attorney General.

 

The U.S. borders are over run with crime and illegal activity, and the leaders in D.C. act as if it is important to protect the lawbreakers…while the innocent are killed and over run. When local communities attempt to enforce the law, they are ridiculed…and threatened as racists and bigots. They are sued by the very administration…entrusted with enforcing the law.

 

Without the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution is a sham!! Without the rule of law, our beloved America is swiftly becoming a country where only the well connected and politically powerful will be safe. As Michelle Malkin has so eloquently explained in her recent book…a culture of corruption has replaced honest government.

 

The only way this problem will be fixed, is by massive citizen action. All honest citizens that want to be treated equally, must come together…and demand that the favoritism, the bribes, the uneven enforcement of law…end now!! And yes, it can happen here.

 

PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!! And…may God save the United States of America !

 

*…the least you can do is forward this email. 6 million plus Jews didn’t believe it would happen in Germany either!!! If you’re a (believer in) Yehoshua HaMessiah, (J-sus Chr-st) in these United States of America , you’re next on the list. The real problem here is, the boy from Cuba did manage to make it to the U.S.We will not have any place to escape to…except death! And, for the most part…even though I’m forwarding this to recipients, probably only 5 or 10 will even read it.

This ends what my brother sent to me but I have to add here:

Are we living in Obama’s America, a place where we will have to buy into his health care system against our will?  If he has his way we will.  Does this health care enforcement program go against the Constitution of the United States of America?  YES IT DOES But, this issue isn’t really about health care it’s about the government imposing it’s will onto a people who want none of it.  This is the TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY  that our founding fathers were most concerned about and tried to protect us from. This TYRANNY has already started and many who are for it don’t see how it’s a bad thing. 

We’ve watered down our laws by asking and allowing our elected criminals to pass a multitude of laws (about three million of them many of which are thousands of pages long) that have made it virtually impossible for anybody to keep and this has desensitized us as to how important the law really is.  We have no protection without a stable body of law that anyone can do and understand.  Our elected criminals want it this way so that we’ll be asleep when they finally do go to take away the rest of our freedoms and liberties so that it’ll be too late for us like it was in Cuba, Russia, China, Germany, Itally and a host of other nations.  The United States was able to rescue some of those nations from the hands of their criminal, tyrannical dictators who were cruelly torturous with large segments of their societies and where only those closest to their tyrants had any freedoms.  Who’s going to rescue us????  Can’t happen here?  Oh yes it can and it already has and it will again… unless we stop it.  We still have a chance to do it lawfully and peacefully; let’s do it that way instead of with violence.
