Marxism and Islamism

 

Red Guards and Green Guards: two cultural revolutions, the same revolutionary logic.

Both created theocratic systems—one built on Marxism, the other on Islamism.

Both claimed to be creating a “new society.” And both followed the same playbook:

• Destroy traditional culture – Mao sought to smash China’s “Four Olds.” Iran’s Islamists sought to erase Western and pre-Islamic heritage, targeting statues, tombs, and books.


• Rewrite history – the past had to be reshaped to legitimize the new revolutionary order.


• Take over the education system – universities were shut down for years and later reopened only after ideological screening and the purging of professors and students.


• Purge intellectuals – academics, writers, and dissenting thinkers were expelled, imprisoned, or silenced to enforce ideological conformity.


• Indoctrinate the population – education and literacy campaigns were used not simply to teach, but to spread revolutionary ideology.

Faith. Hope. Charity.

 

“Hope is one leg of a three-legged stool, together with faith and charity. These three stabilize our lives regardless of the rough or uneven surfaces we might encounter at the time. . . .

Hope is . . . the abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promise to us. It is confidence that if we live according to God’s laws and the words of His prophets now, we will receive desired blessings in the future. It is believing and expecting that our prayers will be answered. It is manifest in confidence, optimism, enthusiasm, and patient perseverance.

Hope is ‘critical’ to both faith and charity. When disobedience, disappointment, and procrastination erode faith, hope is there to uphold our faith. When frustration and impatience challenge charity, hope braces our resolve and urges us to care for our fellowmen even without expectation of reward.

The brighter our hope, the greater our faith. The stronger our hope, the purer our charity.

The things we hope for lead us to faith, while the things we hope in lead us to charity. The three qualities—faith, hope, and charity—working together, grounded on the truth and light of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ—lead us to abound in good works”

Deiter F. Uchtdorf (The Infinite Power of Hope—General Conference Oct. 2008)

American Wars

 

America’s first war after the war for our independence was against the Barbary pirates. There was no Israel, AIPAC or Christian Zionism boogeyman.

Just Islamic slave traders kidnapping Americans and demanding tribute.

We fought World War I to stop Germany. No Israel involved. Israel didn’t exist yet.

We fought World War II to stop Hitler. No Israel involved. Still didn’t exist.

We fought Korea to stop communist expansion. Nothing to do with Israel.

We fought Vietnam to stop communist expansion. Nothing to do with Israel.

We fought the Gulf War for oil and to stop Saddam from controlling 40% of the world’s petroleum reserves. That was about gas prices, not the Torah.

We fought Afghanistan because 3,000 Americans were murdered on 9/11 by al-Qaeda. Israel didn’t fly those planes.

We fought Iraq because our leaders made a mistake. A miscalculation that cost us greatly. It happens people are human. You learn and adjust policy.

We are confronting Iran because we don’t want suicidal head choppers to have a nuclear weapon.

This is America. Not Russia. Christian Zionists are a huge threat to Eurasian slop because we stand in their way.

Sensible Truth Ep. 27: Family: The Core of Society

 

David O. McKay gave this counsel, "The home is the first and most effective place for children to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control; the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children. And no success can compensate for failure in the home."

Kennedy and Eisenhower: Respect for the Ages

 

On May 8, 1965, more than a year after Kennedy’s death, Dwight D. Eisenhower did something that revealed just how deeply the loss still weighed on him. Despite his own failing health and doctors’ warnings—he was 74 and recovering from his third heart attack—Eisenhower traveled to the Kennedy Library groundbreaking ceremony in Boston.

Standing beside Jacqueline Kennedy, he told the assembled crowd something that made even hardened reporters weep:

"President Kennedy possessed the greatest campaign weapon any man could have—he had Jacqueline Kennedy by his side, but more than that, he possessed a quality I grew to admire deeply in our many conversations—the courage to admit when he didn’t know something and the wisdom to seek counsel."

What made the moment even more powerful was Eisenhower’s revelation that he had kept every letter Kennedy had ever written him, bound carefully in a private collection he called “Letters from a Young Lion.” That day, he donated them to the future Kennedy Library, saying he wanted history to know their friendship had been real—that politics hadn’t divided them where it mattered most.

Jackie Kennedy squeezed Eisenhower’s hand and whispered something those nearby heard: “He called you his North Star, General. He never stopped seeking your guidance.” Eisenhower’s voice broke as he replied, “And I never stopped believing in him.”

Here were two people from different worlds—the widowed First Lady and the retired Republican general—united in grief and mutual respect. They showed us that the bonds forged in service to country transcend everything else.

This is the America worth fighting for—the one where we see each other’s humanity first.
