Versailles News: Conspiracy or coincidence?

0

It’s so blatantly obvious that it’s unnecessary to say, but “I’m not the brightest bulb” so when I notice something it’s usually quite apparent. Our society, (meaning our family life and morals) has steadily declined. It’s only my opinion but once again I believed we jumped the track in or around 1960. So when I watched the documentary entitled “Agenda: Grinding America Down” it really hit home for me.

The documentary references a book entitled “The Naked Communist, written by ex-FBI agent W. Cleon Skousen in 1958. The book outlines the Communist Party’s plans for covertly capturing America. The Party had 45 goals, because of space I will only list some of them but I recommend you look them up. Either type “45 goals from The Naked Communist” in your search engine or use this link http://bit.ly/2tGcDUD. It’s an eye opener. If interested you might also consider viewing a copy of “Agenda: Grinding America Down”.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

I wasn’t around in the 1950’s during the “Red Scare,” when America feared communist espionage. But history reports that the US aggressively investigated, jailed, and deported those who were suspected of being either communist or left-wing. History also, reveals that there the same thing occurred in the 1920’s (“The First Red Scare”) after the Bolshevik Russia Revolution of 1917. But my Mom was around and I remember her telling me that Russia had threatened the USA claiming they would take over the United States without ever firing a shot.

Consider Russia’s threat and the 1917 message of Fatima in which Our Lady, sent by God, explained sin as the root of the world’s torments. And said” “I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart… If people attend to My requests, Russia will be converted and the world will have peace.” However she cautioned that if Her requests were not granted, “Russia will spread its errors throughout the world, raising up wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer and various nations will be annihilated.”

I’m not being an alarmist because I’m exceedingly hopeful. I know there are powerful prayer-warriors throughout the world heeding the warning of Fatima and recognizing its relevance today. I also know many young families that have taken back control of their families by home schooling and putting their faith and family ahead of worldly success.
