Marxist Strategy 101

[Note: The Watchman has been consumed with laying wood flooring in his house so posting has been spotty. However,while doing so I've been listening to the ever alarming news of President Obama's faltering presidency coming out of Washington.]

Being a student of history and having done a little research into how Marxists work their wonders of subjugating their opponents, it appears Dear Leader's subordinates (some might say sycophants) are following classic Marxist strategy in their recent efforts to suppress their enemies. So lets explore this strategy, its consequences, and fighting tyranny.

I am fond of ending my comments on news web sites with the following blurb, admittedly of my own origin: "If they come for one, they will come for us all." My premise is built upon historical evidence that tyrants bent on consolidating their hold on power will first focus on one enemy at a time, but then inevitably will come after all in their insatiable quest for absolute power. Marxist are particularly prone to this syndrome. The first Dear Leader, Comrade Lenin, tore apart one media outlet after another in his quest to silence opposition to his scheme of forcing Russia into Marxistland. He was ruthless in the effort, not only destroying printing presses, but killing off the printers as well. He took out the weaker ones first,but grew bolder as time went on until only his approved media organ, Pravda, was left standing in the rubble of free speech, with Russian blood flowing as rivers.

Lenin, and later Stalin, didn't stop with just silencing the obvious anti-Bolshevik faction of Russian political/governmental reform. Eventually they attacked even those who were officially part of the "Communist Party", groups who aided in the rise of communism, supported every new communist program regardless of how outlandish it was. (By the way, the same tactics were used in China in the late 40s and 50s. Millions died.) Thus only those organs that could some how meet the test of unwavering loyalty and proclaim abject fealty to the tyrant could exist. The process is painfully similar in every dictatorship from Cesar to Chavez.

Come now to 2009. A stealth Marxist bent political leader rises as a phoenix out of the broken world of social-communism to actually become the MOST POWERFUL MAN on earth and what does he begin to do? Attack and control. Attack any person or media organ that dares to stand in opposition to Barack Hussein Obama. Control the message to create favorable conditions for Dear Leader. The Administration's press secretary bragged on a TV Sunday talk show (an Obama approved talk show) how they controlled the media during the election to get their message out.

Look at the progression of their attacks: In the early part of his administration attack staff went out and attempted to connect his enemies (conservatives and Republicans) to Rush Limbaugh. The attempt was to link the Republican Party to their defined wild and ultra right wack job, Rush Limbaugh. The fawning press, followed along with the tactic, lapping it up as juicy mud to sling around on their news shows or opinion pages. Then, with the public beginning to question His Holiness' health care plan, the attack dogs when out and crapped on decent Americans who were attempting to exercise Amendment Number One, calling them Nazis, mobs, and unpatriotic. These Americans became 'Enemies of the New Way'. Later when the health care insurance companies dared to inform their clients the impact of Obamacare on Medicare, again the attack dogs slammed those companies, even sicing the Justice Department on them.

Lately,the Fox News Network has come into the cross-hairs of the Obama administration. Interesting they fell back to one of their earlier tactics of tying evil "Republicans" with Fox News, accusing the network of not only in bed with the Republicans, but actually co-joining in their effort to produce a wicked, dastardly, opposition effort against the Anointed One, Lord Obama. For three weeks Administration lackeys have trotted out in front of the press to accuse Fox News of some terrible thing, like criticizing Obama for dithering for two months on General McCrystal's request for more troop in Afghanistan. However in this instance, they may have gone a "Network too far".

This evening, it was reported the Obama administration press executives decided to limit Fox News' access to a scheduled news pool interview with the Executive Pay Czar. Only 4 other news networks were to be granted access, since in their opinion, Fox News wasn't really a "news" network. But in an act of solidarity, the 4 other networks told the administration if Fox wasn't in on the news pool, then they would decline the opportunity to interview the Pay Czar.

And thus, maybe, just maybe, the other networks are seeing the light. If Marxist Obama and his minions come after one network, they will eventually come after all networks. Maybe they saw after Fox News falls, one night Charles Gibson dares to negatively report on Barack's dancing with the stars and finds himself and the ABC Network the next target, the next enemy, the next network to go under.

And how do you stop tyranny? ALL must go after The One.
