Lloyd, Joanie Greg gins, and Steven McCartney. U.S.-USSR UNION! Sounds incredible! How could any of our nation s leaden possibly be making plans to join the United States and the Soviet Union into a joing U.S. USSR Union? One of these nations was set up 200 years ago (following the Revolu tionary War which resuled in inde pendence from England) as a so called "Christian" country. The other was set up nearly 70 yean ago (following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 and the execution of the czar and his family in 1918) as an "atheistic" nation (or Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). Not only does the ruling Commu nist Party not believe in God, the Greath Spirit, or any other concept of a greater-than-human Being. It immediately set out to destory either the beliefs themselves or the persons who already believed in God. Or both. (Study the persecutions and killings of Christians, Jews, and Muslims in Russia during the past 70 years.) Also the "Living Church" move ment, set up to operate secretly, within existing churches in Russia and around the world (including church groups in America). Hie first time I read about hopes and plans for a future US USSR "union", I dismissed the idea as too fantastic to be true! But the next time I read it, I thought: "Of course, all those other things which have been taking place during most of the 20th century also sound too fantastic to really be true!" But, when you have a devoted group of people who believe that their ways is the only way for the world to operate as it should, they are going to look for every opport unity which could possibly help to bring this goal even one stop closer to realization. (Jesus' followers have done this. But they have a rulebook the Bible ?to go by). While I was reading the writing of both Marx and Lenin, it became clear to me that these two men and their successors have expected Socialism (in one form or another) to correct the errors of our country's capitalistic free enterprise system, as well as the "fallacies" of believing in a Higher Being. There does, however, seem to be another more powerful group work ing even farther behind the scenes than the Marxists and the Leninist. These hidden so called "Insiders" seem to be the people who are pushing the right buttons to keep communism (and other branches of Socialism) growing and spreading throughout the world. In all these situations, deception seems to be the name of the game. The main method, it seems, is getting groups and or individuals "hooked" on being dependent for Uie rest of the lifetime (of that individual or that particular group) on the Marxist or Leninist "parent group". If you like mysteries and horror stories I can refer you to oodles and oodles of them. (This group do not have a Bible or ethical codes to abide by). In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if getting our service personnel hooked on drugs in Vietnam was one of the secret tactics used to get and keep this country over a barrel. And this kind of Marxist controlled "hooking may still be going on." Whether or not it was master minded by that world wide network in the first place, having so many Americans hooked on drugs now can certainly provide one of the most ? community, county. state, or ""fcTthla country, as well as the entire Western Hemisphere. Africa aad the Orient, it seems that the mistreated minorities, mostly "people of color, are among the main groups to "hook" with dependency upon Marnism. It is these groups who feel such anger and desperation |h?t they are willing to reach out to glowing promises without waiting to see where such promises will lead. Both a missionary who had to leave China in the forties and a former missionary to the Phillipines des cribed to me personally the glowing promises made by Communists as they were seeking converts among the oppressed masses. Two years ago, in Montana, my first cousin (a missionary in Ethiopia for the past 40 years) confided in me about the situation with the Marxist govern ment there. The fact that most Marxist groups do not believe in either God or the Bible does not have to keep the rest of us from using the Bible as a kind of measuring stick. "By their fruits you shall know them", Jesus said in his sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7 15-20). But some of us may picture this verse as saying: "By their blossoms you shall know them." Blossoms-and promises?can be driving. Some plants, bushes, and trees have beautiful blossoms but poisonous fruit We may see a new plant for the first time, be excited by the beautiful blossoms, and eageriy look forward to its delicious, nutri tious fruit Our expectations may or may not be realized. But we cannot judge a new plant until its fruit develops and is harvested. Even then, when we bite into the fruit we may be taking a chance. It could us sick or even cause our death. (This must be the way poisonous foods were first found.) Actually, as far as today's Socialist and Communist "front" groups are concerned, things are a lot more complex. It's a lot harder to discover "bad" or unhealthful fruit when that fruit does not immediately cause food poisoning of one kind or another. With most groups (no matter what their stated goals maybe) it may take months, even years, to be sure that neither the group nor any of its numbers are being used for a totally different purpose form that which they have so sincerely promised. (For centuires, of course Indians and others in this county have, too late found them selves trapped by Power Structure which failed to "deliver" or pro mises). The same thing (but with even more strings attached) has happened when people who have already been taken advantage of through all the years of their life have put their trust in outside groups who are merely using them as stepping stones to taking over control. As I've talked with numberous persons in the Pembroke area I believe the reluctance to endorse a third party candidate comes out of this kind of concern, rather than any knod of vendetta against any indivi dual or group within the Indian community. Things could get better! Or they could get worse! Those of us who have heard or read "horror stories" about persons and groups who reached out to the wrong source for help want to take things slow and easy, wait and see, to make sure that we do not jump from the frying pan into the fire .
