Report From Washington - August 12, 2011

The Tea Party downgrade? / Obama is causing the market volatility / Support the Public Expression of Religion Act / SEIU members parade for Obama and communist revolution / Why riots in London? / The Ramadan body count stands at 121 as of day 12 / Imam claims Queen Elizabeth will wear the hijab 
PRESIDENCY 
TEA PARTY DOWNGRADE? - The message from the White House was mixed over the S&P downgrade of the nation's credit rating. The two main talking points are at odds. Talking point one: This does not really matter; it does not affect the nation's ability to sell bonds. Talking point two: The "Tea party downgrade" is catastrophic for the nation. In other words, Obama's position is that the downgrade doesn't much matter unless we can blame it on the Tea Party.

MARKET VOLATILITY - The failure of President Obama to make any statement for several days after the S&P downgrade of U.S. Treasuries caused some serious volatility in the markets. This volatility was not caused by the actual downgrade, but by the uncertainty as to the reaction of our government. Finally Chairman Bernanke calmed markets by promising that the Federal Reserve would continue to lend money to major banks at 0% interest rates at least until March, 2013, well after the next presidential election. This proved that the market slide had less to do with the downgrade than with the deteriorating financial situation in the West. All of Western Europe and the United States have been floating giant entitlement programs and free medical care with borrowed money. Much of that borrowed money was just flat out printed. There is not enough real money in the entire world to pay back what Europe and the USA owe.
THE CONGRESS 

PUBLIC EXPRESSION OF RELIGION - During August your congressman will be working at his district office in your state. Please contact him there and ask him to support H.R. 2023, Public Expression of Religion Act. The bill would modify the law so each side pays its own attorneys' fees in cases when groups such as the ALCU sue school districts, counties and cities to force an atheistic agenda on them. Removing the monetary incentive that activist groups have in bringing these types of cases would end many of them. Contact your congressman
IN RECESS - The House and Senate are in recess until September 6th at 10:00 AM
RELIGION AND CULTURE
SEIU DISPLAYS COMMUNIST LINKS - The 2011 May Day parade in Los Angeles featured all the pro-Obama groups, including the Service Employees International Union which gave him $28 million in the last election as well as the Communist Party. SEIU members carried communist flags and called for communist revolution from "Wisconsin to Libya." A short clip of the pro communist SEIU marchers during the parade is located at YouTube.  
THE LONDON RIOTS - The London riots, which have spread to other cities in the U.K., are actually Twitter driven events. Under employed or unemployed young men are using Twitter and other social media to arrange mobs to sack stores. The core reason for the looting and violence is the cutoff of much of the money the U.K. handed out for decades for unemployment and social services. Now nearly broke and with bond sales nearly failing last year, the government has made huge cuts in entitlement spending. Similar mob violence and looting has occurred in Greece. The demonstrations and riots that led to the fall of the Egyptian government this year had far less to do with democracy than with the rise of food and fuel costs when that government lowered subsidies. The problem is simply this: World governments can no longer afford to borrow money to supply cradle to grave services to residents.

China's Deadly Utopia

William J. Murray, the chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition along with several congressmen and Senators spoke at an event on Capitol Hill highlighting the persecution of the Falun Gong and other religious minorities in China. Many speakers dealt with the repressive nature of the Chinese Communist Party, but Murray dealt with the core problem of central planning that has been the sources of repression and misery for humanity since the beginning of the 20^th Century. His remarks, “China: The Great Utopia” have since been requested by numerous news outlets and have already been televised worldwide. His remarks follow below:

As an introduction to his second chapter in The Road to Serfdom, Friedrich Hayek used a quote by Friedrich Holderlin to sum up collectivism: “What has always made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it his heaven.”

There are those who see our greatest challenge as the conflict between communist ideology and the free market place or between fascism and democracy, but these are but aspects of the one conflict that humanity faces: reality versus utopianism. During the 20^th Century, utopian dreams, unfortunately, became reality in the persons of Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Adoph Hitler, and Moa Tse Tung. The result was the “state of hell” referred to by Holderlin. Governments seeking utopia on earth killed tens of millions of human beings in seventy some years of wars, gulags, starvation and mass killings.

While the utopia of Adolf Hitler’s “Thousand- Year Reich” ended in military defeat, and the Soviet “Workers’ Paradise” ended in humiliation for Russia, the dream of a centrally planned utopia lives on in China under the Chinese Communist Party. As in other centrally planned dictatorships, freedom is a casualty in China. Central planning of any kind requires silencing of critics and a control of the press and of speech to insure the continuation of “the plan.” For the level of control needed in China even the worship of God must be tightly directed. If not, “the plan” could perhaps be undermined, even destroyed by critical voices.

In China today there is only one political party, the party that is implementing “the plan” for the lives of the Chinese people. Unable to survive using the pure collectivist model of Karl Marx, the Communist Party has “evolved” to a National Socialism model similar to that of Adolph Hitler, using highly controlled free enterprise sectors to produce the tax base to continue its control.

There is no greater threat to that control than unregulated human faith, the faith represented by the Christian underground churches and the practitioners of Falun Gong. The Chinese Communist Party has used every kind of pressure against the Falun Gong including arrests, rapes, and murders and even forced abortions on Falun Gong women held in captivity. Utopianism requires a grand plan: A Germany without Jews, a Russia without the rich, a Cambodia without the educated, a Caliphate without Christians  —  or a China without Falun Gong or House Church  critics of the Communist Party’s “plan” for the Chinese people.

20^th Century utopianism gave the world enough death and destruction to last humanity for 10,000 years. “The Plan” the Chinese Communist Party has for China will fail; it is inevitable. The day of that collapse will mark a new freedom for the repressed. It is the world’s responsibility to give the message to the Chinese communists that “the plan’ is an illusion and that freedom is inevitable regardless of their repression of their own people.
