Among the more famous quotations by Mao Zedong is: “All political power comes from the barrel of the gun.” However, Mao got that wrong as in the United States circa 2022 political blackmail in the hands of progressives – really, American Marxists -- is a much more effective tool than the gun.
Less than seven percent of American voters identify as being “very liberal”. Yet, thanks to the unbridled use of political blackmail, they have set the agenda since 2009. Additionally, by virtue of these tactics they are also in de facto control not only of the Democrat party but the legacy media, the education establishment, social media, and the universities. In 2021 they achieved a major milestone: absolute dominion over the Office of President of the United States.
Vladimir Lenin, one of the icons of the American Marxists, defined modern political blackmail as follows:
Political blackmail is the threat of exposing, or the actual exposure, of true, but more often invented, “stories” with the aim of causing an opponent political damage, of slandering him, of depriving him of the possibility of engaging in political activity, or of making it difficult for him.
Lenin neglected to note that in the modern era successful political blackmail is wholly dependent on the blackmailer either controlling or being in league with a compliant national media. Further, there are both overt and subtle modes in American Marxist political blackmail.
After decades long stealth infiltration, by the late 1990’s a significant percentage of the legacy media was populated by the disciples of and apologists for the radical left. Following the guidelines set out by Lenin, the never-ending search for and fabrication of “stories” about their political opponents took on a new ferocity and determination unlike any other period in American history.

-The satanic marxists have control of both political parties, 99% of the broadcast, print, and online media!!!!! We the People still have God but it is up to us to employ Him!!!!! Prayer is still the best weapon against satan and his agents in America but prayer will only work if repentance is also a factor!!!!! @Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people who are called by My name, will humble themselves, seek my face, pray, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear them from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land." Too many people who claim to be Christians have bowed to satan in practice, including the catholic and methodist denominations. I daily pray AND live 2 Chronicles 7:14 but more people are needed to do this also. Protests are great but the Apostle Paul wrote in Ehpesians 6:12, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places." We the People MUST use God's Word and repentant hearts to defeat the immense evil that rules the nation today. I pray for a massive revival that will reverse the situation. I am not physically able to do much and just as limited in finances so I do what I can to fight this battle against evil until the battle is won!!!!! We certainly can't win it by ourselves, in the natural realm!!!!!!!!!!
time to stick up for our country and our freedom.
