How Voter Turnout Disasters & Voter Apathy Are Handing The Country To Democratic Socialists

Let’s cut the bullshit, and this is going to be a little harsh, so strap in: the Republican Party, from its bumbling state chapters to the bloated national machine, has once again proven itself utterly incompetent at the one job that matters—getting its voters to the polls in off-year elections.On December 9, 2025, in Miami, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.undergroundusa.com/i/181182285/pathetic-voter-turnout-brings-democratic-socialist-influence-to-city-hall-in-miami-mayoral-victory">a measly 21.3% turnout</a> handed the mayor’s office to Democrat Eileen Higgins, who crushed Trump-endorsed Republican Emilio González 59% to 41%. That’s right—only 37,496 out of 175,692 registered voters bothered to show up in a city that’s supposed to be a conservative stronghold in Hispanic-heavy Florida. This isn’t just a loss; it’s a humiliating surrender, ending nearly 30 years of GOP control in a place where Republicans have preached family values and border security for generations.Higgins, a 61-year-old former county commissioner with a resume padded by <a target="_blank" href="https://nypost.com/2025/12/09/us-news/democrat-wins-miami-mayoral-race-for-first-time-in-nearly-30-years-marking-major-gop-loss">Peace Corps stints in Belize</a>, didn’t just win—she signed on explicitly to Democratic Socialism, campaigning with a platform that reeked of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/eileen-higgins-wins-miami-mayoral-runoff-breaking-30-year-democratic-drought/">equity-driven policies</a>, environmental hand-wringing over Biscayne Bay, and streamlined services that sound an awful lot like government overreach dressed in feel-good drag. Her victory amplified a realignment among Hispanic voters battered by economic squeezes and federal policy whiplash, as noted in sharp election coverage.And it’s not an isolated fuck-up. Across the country, from Seattle’s socialist strongholds to New York’s progressive playgrounds, <a target="_blank" href="https://jacobin.com/2025/11/municipal-elections-democratic-socialism-mamdani-dsa">Democratic Socialists are racking up wins</a> in these low-stakes races, turning city halls into petri dishes for equity experiments and wealth redistribution schemes. The GOP? They’re asleep at the wheel, too busy circle-jerking over presidential fantasies to notice the ground crumbling beneath them.Miami’s debacle is the poster child for this electoral malpractice. Higgins waltzed into office by hammering affordable housing and falsely slamming Republican immigration crackdowns as heartless attacks on Cuban, Venezuelan, and Haitian families right in Little Havana. González, the ex-city manager who ran USCIS under Bush and pushed for axing property taxes while toughening borders, had the dream team of endorsements: Trump, DeSantis, Rick Scott, Ted Cruz. What did it get him? A 41% ass-kicking in a nonpartisan race where national Dem groups poured in cash to flip the script.Turnout at 21.3% is unacceptable at every level—city, county, state, national. It’s not bad luck; it’s a symptom of a party that’s forgotten how to fight when the cameras aren’t rolling. Republicans whine about “low-turnout protests” fueling these losses, as if that’s an excuse rather than a confession of their own laziness.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/democrats-florida-georgia/2025/12/10/id/1237801/">NewsMax reports</a> Democrats crowing about these Florida and Georgia off-year victories as “momentum” for 2026, with the Democrat Legislative Campaign Committee dropping $50 million on an expanded war chest targeting 42 state chambers. In Georgia, Dems snagged a state House special election to replace a Republican rep, narrowing the GOP edge while holding onto a runoff in suburban Atlanta. These aren’t flukes; they’re the bleeding edge of a socialist creep that’s already colonized blue cities but now eyes red-state underbellies.This wave of Democratic Socialist triumphs isn’t confined to Miami’s humid sprawl. Zoom out, and you’ll see the pattern: from Seattle, where eco-socialists have locked down city council seats with mandates for rent control and “just transition” green boondoggles, to New York, where Mamdani and AOC-style firebrands have turned boroughs into laboratories for universal basic income pilots and defund-the-police reruns. Miami’s just the latest notch, a gateway drug for Marxism-lite in the Sunshine State, complete with Higgins’ full-throated embrace of the ideology.These wins thrive in the shadows of off-year apathy, where ideologues on the Left mobilize like it’s D-Day, door-knocking and meme-warrioring while conservatives treat local races like optional Netflix binges. The GOP apparatuses—those sclerotic state parties and the national RNC clown car—deserve a lion’s share of the blame for this abstract failure to manufacture turnout. They’ve got the data, the donor lists, the algorithms, but zero fucking aptitude to use them. Instead of blanketing airwaves with ads exposing how “Democratic Socialism” is just Stalinism with pronouns, they let narratives fester unchecked.Deep-pocket Republicans and conservatives, those Wall Street fat cats and Silicon Valley turncoats, too busy golfing and comfortable in their self-importance, who fund the party like it’s a vanity project, are the worst offenders. Clueless doesn’t begin to cover it—they’re willfully blind, dumping billions into presidential PACs and TV blitzes while starving the grassroots organizations that actually do effective work at the local level. Preserving Trump’s reform movement? Forget it. Without recapturing county commissions, school boards, and state legislatures—and maintaining majorities in the US House, that “movement” is just a tweetstorm waiting to die.But here’s the ugly truth, and I’m sure you’re not going to like it: the Republican voter base owns this mess too. You—yes, you, the self-proclaimed patriot scrolling this on your phone—consistently ignore off-year elections like they’re someone else’s problem.These off-year and midterm elections aren’t sideshows; they’re the demolition derby where mandated governments get torched before they metastasize. While you’re too busy watching little Portnoy’s soccer game or lying to yourself that everyone else will show up to the polls, ignoring that special election for city council or state rep (a true mark of apathetic laziness, I might add), the Marxist left’s activists—those tattooed, nose-riged baristas and arrogant adjunct profesors high on their own propaganda—don’t rest. They bus in voters, litigate every ballot, and whisper sweet nothings about “systemic inequities” to flip precincts one by one.Off-year races are where the real power consolidates: zoning laws that greenlight homeless encampments, curricula that indoctrinate kids with critical race theory, budgets that balloon welfare rolls. By sitting it out and/or absolving yourself from your civic responsibility to vote, conservatives and Libertarians aren’t abstaining; they’re abdicating, handing the keys to the very radicals who view your values—our values—as obstacles to their Marxist utopia.The national GOP’s response? Pathetic deflections.President Trump, rallying in Pennsylvania, sniped at Democrats as “Bonnie and Clyde preaching public safety” and the “enemy of the working class,” urging focus on prices, borders, and growth. Fair enough, but that’s 2026 talk. Where’s the machine to make it stick in 2025’s election battles? State parties in Florida and Georgia mumble about “media-fueled protests” and low turnout favoring “ideologically motivated” Dems, as if building motivation is optional.Bullshit!The deep-pocket crowd needs to wake up: invest in the future, or watch it burn. Fund those scrappy organizations that spearhead county initiatives that reclaim the narrative—town halls blasting the dangers of socialism and Marxism masquerading as “progressive equity.” Educate the base, not with useless TED Talks, but with billboards and mailers screaming how Democratic Socialism guts small businesses, spikes crime, and erodes freedoms.Grassroots isn’t a buzzword; it’s the firewall against this creep.No reform movement—not Trump’s, not whatever MAGA 2.0 or libertarian fever dream follows—can succeed if Republican, conservative, and Libertarian voters stay unengaged and apathetic to off-year and midterm elections, and no grassroots movement to save the nation can succeed id the deep-pockets of the Right ignore their responsibility to the nation that provided them the opportunity to be successful in the fucking first place.The activists, financiers, and voters of the Marxist and arrogantly ignorant Left don’t rest. They plot, they agitate, they vote; their commissars depend on it. We simply cannot be apathetic and unengaged anymore. Get off your ass, GOP, and consolidate your slates so there’s not thirteen people running at the same fucking time! Take your hands out of your pockets, money people, and start funding the local, county, and state movements. Politics trickles up, not down!And this must all start yesterday—or we need to get used to toasting victories from the opposition’s banquet.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Miami just handed its mayor’s office to an open Democratic Socialist because only 21.3% of voters showed up. Seattle, New York, Georgia, New Jersey, Virginia: the same pattern, the same apathy.The GOP machine has proved itself useless too many times, the big donors are, evidently, either clueless or too self-absorbed, and too many of us treat off-year elections like optional chores.Here’s the brutal truth: no Trump movement, no conservative comeback, no libertarian revival survives if we keep sleeping through the fights that actually build power. The Marxist left never rests. Starting now, neither can we.Wake up, show up, or watch every city fall—watch our Republic fall, one pathetic turnout at a time.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at <a href="https://www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe</a>

Israel's Iron Beam & The Dawn Of A Nuclear Weapons-Free Future

In the shadowed corridors of modern warfare, where drones swarm like locusts and missiles arc across borders with impersonal precision, a quiet revolution is unfolding. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eurasiantimes.com/iron-beam-israel-on-the-cusp-of/">Israel’s Iron Beam</a>, a high-powered laser defense system, stands poised to redefine the rules of engagement.As we stand on the precipice of its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/israeli-anti-missile-laser-system-iron-beam-ready-military-use-this-year-2025-09-17/">full deployment by December 30, 2025</a>, this technology—born from urgency and ingenuity—offers not just a shield against immediate threats, but a beacon of hope for a world long haunted by the specter of nuclear annihilation. Developed over more than a decade by<a target="_blank" href="https://thedefensepost.com/2025/12/02/israel-iron-beam/"> Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Elbit Systems</a>, Iron Beam represents Israel’s audacious leap into directed-energy weapons, transforming science fiction into frontline reality.The system’s journey has been one of relentless iteration, spurred by the brutal lessons of conflict. Unveiled in conceptual form years ago, Iron Beam accelerated after the October 7, 2023, Hamas assault, which unleashed thousands of rockets and drones, overwhelming traditional defenses. By September 2025, prototypes had already proven their mettle in combat, intercepting at least 40 Hezbollah drones in October 2024— a feat that saved civilian lives and safeguarded critical infrastructure without firing a single costly missile.Brig. Gen. (res.) Danny Gold, head of the Israel Defense Ministry’s Directorate of Defense Research & Development (MAFAT), proclaimed, “Israel is the first country in the world to present a massive operational laser capability for intercepting threats.”At its core, Iron Beam is a ground-based, 100-kilowatt fiber laser, capable of zapping rockets, mortars, and UAVs at ranges up to 10 kilometers—at the speed of light, no less. Each interception costs a mere half-dollar, akin to “turning on the lights,” as Defense Ministry Director-General Amir Baram aptly put it. This contrasts starkly with the $50,000 price tag of an Iron Dome interceptor, addressing the ammunition shortages exposed during the 12-day Iran-Israel War in June 2025, when nearly 600 Iranian missiles and over 1,000 drones tested Israel’s multilayered defenses to their limits.What elevates Iron Beam beyond tactical brilliance is its seamless integration into Israel’s existing arsenal. It doesn’t replace Iron Dome, David’s Sling, or Arrow; it augments them.Upon detecting an incoming threat, shared radar and command systems decide in seconds whether to deploy a laser zap or a kinetic missile, optimizing for cost and efficacy. Variants like Lite Beam (10 kW for vehicle mounting) and Iron Beam M (50 kW for trucks) promise mobile protection, extending this “unlimited magazine” to ground forces.Of course, challenges remain—lasers falter in adverse weather, and are untested in full-spectrum barrages like October 7—but comprehensive trials, including those validated in 2025, affirm its reliability. As Gold noted at a Tel Aviv defense summit, “The Iron Beam laser system is expected to fundamentally change the rules of engagement on the battlefield.”For Israel, besieged on multiple fronts, this isn’t just defense; it’s survival elevated to strategic supremacy.Across the Atlantic, the United States mirrors this ambition with its own directed-energy pursuits, underscoring a transatlantic synergy vital to global security. The US Army’s Indirect Fire Protection Capability-High Energy Laser (IFPC-HEL) prototype program, overseen by the Rapid Capabilities & Critical Technologies Office, is the closest analog to Iron Beam. Awarded a $221 million contract to Lockheed Martin in 2023, IFPC-HEL aims to neutralize rockets, artillery, mortars, and drones with a 300 kW-class laser, offering near-unlimited shots at pennies per engagement. By late 2025, prototypes will be in advanced testing and integration phases, with initial fielding targeted for fiscal year 2026.The US Navy’s HELIOS system, tested successfully in 2024 aboard the USS Preble against UAVs, complements this, while a 2024 congressional appropriation of $1.2 billion funneled directly to Israel’s Iron Beam procurement signals deep collaboration. Lockheed Martin’s 2022 partnership with Rafael to adapt Iron Beam for American needs hints at potential US adoption, should Israeli field trials—slated for imminent rollout—exceed expectations.Yet, as a National Defense Industrial Association report laments, the US lacks a mature laser supply chain, positioning Israel’s breakthrough as a potential catalyst for accelerated deployment. This parallel path isn’t mere duplication; it’s a promise of shared resilience, where American scale meets Israeli innovation.At its heart, Iron Beam’s promise transcends borders, whispering a profound possibility: the obsolescence of nuclear war. Directed-energy systems like this stand on the cusp of rendering nuclear arsenals relics, not through disarmament decrees, but through unassailable defense. Nuclear weapons derive their terror from assured penetration—mutually assured destruction hinges on missiles evading interception to deliver city-obliterating payloads. Iron Beam disrupts this calculus. Operating at light speed with pinpoint accuracy, lasers can engage intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during boost phase, vaporizing warheads before separation, or midcourse, piercing decoys that confound kinetic interceptors like the US Ground-Based Midcourse Defense.Cost barriers vanish, too: a single ICBM interception via a missile might run into the millions, but lasers scale infinitely with electricity alone. In the 2025 Iran-Israel clash, Iranian barrages strained stockpiles; imagine scaling that to nuclear salvos. Coupled with space-based relays or hypersonic countermeasures, these beams could create impenetrable shields, deterring launches outright. As Baram envisions, battlefields will teem with affordable lasers, neutralizing swarms before they coalesce into existential threats. This isn’t utopian fancy—it’s physics: energy directed with precision outpaces brute force.Nuclear war, that 20th-century sword of Damocles, fades into history’s shadow, supplanted by a defensive web that renders aggression futile. Hope lies here, in the hum of fiber optics, promising a world where deterrence evolves from fear to fortitude.Yet, this dawn carries shadows.As Iron Beam and its kin mature, the West—Israel and the United States foremost—must vigilantly fortify against espionage from the 21st-century axis of adversaries: China, Russia, and to lesser degrees, Iran and North Korea. These regimes, through state-linked corporations, have honed corporate infiltration into an art of subversion. Chinese firms like Huawei have been implicated in pilfering dual-use tech, while Russian hackers target defense supply chains with impunity. Iran’s cyber units and North Korea’s illicit networks lurk as opportunistic vectors.Full-spectrum countermeasures—zero-trust architectures, AI-driven anomaly detection, and draconian export controls—are imperative. The US CHIPS Act’s safeguards and Israel’s elite Unit 8200 must expand, auditing partners ruthlessly. To let this technology slip would arm tyrants with the means to pierce free-world defenses, inverting hope into peril. Vicious guardianship isn’t paranoia; it’s stewardship of humanity’s safeguard.In weaving this future, the West confronts an internal foe: the creeping tolerance of antisemitism, especially in the United States. This venomous undercurrent erodes the very collaboration birthing Iron Beam—Jews and Israelis, engines of this innovation, face vilification that chills partnerships and stifles talent.From campus protests to online vitriol, it fractures the trust essential for joint ventures like Lockheed-Rafael. Such bigotry is anathema to progress; it severs the intellectual arteries feeding directed-energy breakthroughs.To protect the free world, America and its allies must excise this poison with unyielding resolve—through education and cultural recommitment, recalling the genocidal horrors that this sick ideology foments.Only then can we harness Iron Beam’s light—and the light of similar, more potent projects—to illuminate, not just defend.Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus…and the probability of a secure tomorrow.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Iron Beam isn’t just another weapon; it’s the first real crack in the nuclear nightmare we’ve lived under since 1945. Light-speed, near-limitless, penny-per-shot defense is finally here, and it can turn ICBMs into expensive fireworks before they leave the atmosphere.Israel is lighting the way, America is racing to catch up, and together they’re writing the obituary for mutually assured destruction.But none of this survives if the technology leaks to Beijing or Moscow, and none of it flourishes while antisemitism is shrugged off as acceptable opinion. Guard the secrets, and guard the people who built them. The free world’s future is literally riding on a beam of light—don’t let anyone dim it.Now that’s one hell of a Christmas present…to the world.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at <a href="https://www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe</a>

As We Prepare for Christmas, I Give You The Unholy Trinity: Islamism, Marxism, & Woke Progressivism

As we prepare, once again, to celebrate Christmas, a time of year where we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, peace on Earth, and goodwill towards all men, a dark alliance is crystallizing before our eyes both in the United States and across the West. Islamism, militant Marxism, and anti-Christian progressivism have coalesced in their shared disdain of the Christian foundations of Western civilization and are now openly synthesizing to dismantle them.What binds these three ideologies is not mere tactical convenience; it’s a visceral, existential loathing of the Cross; of individual conscience and of any authority higher than the totalitarian collective or theocratic caliphate. Each detests Christianity because Christianity birthed the very concepts of human dignity, free will, and limited government that now stand in their way.Islamism assaults Christianity in the public square with ever-bolder demands for supremacy. In the United States, we see Muslim-majority school boards in places like Michigan pushing to remove Easter and Christmas references while aggressively <a target="_blank" href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/education/2019/04/20/detroit-schools-close-muslim-holiday-eid-al-fitr/3522641002/">inserting Ramadan celebrations.</a> Dearborn public schools now <a target="_blank" href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/dearborn-residents-push-city-curb-noise-levels-from-mosques-call-prayer">broadcast the Islamic call to prayer</a> over loudspeakers, an act unthinkable for any Christian prayer.Mosques across the country, funded by Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood, openly distribute literature calling for the eventual subjugation of “disbelievers.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization with documented Hamas ties, sues any locale that dares reject the construction of mega-mosques and intimidates critics with accusations of “Islamophobia” until Christian symbols are stripped from public view.The goal is simple: dhimmi status for Christians, second-class citizenship under expanding sharia zones.Marxism, reborn as “Democratic Socialism” and “anti-racism,” wages war on Christianity through the capture of institutions. The Biden administration’s <a target="_blank" href="https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/new-report-details-extent-fbis-weaponization-law-enforcement-against">FBI memo</a> labeling traditionalist Catholics “potential domestic terrorists” for attending Latin Mass was not an aberration; it was policy.Public-school curricula now teach children that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.gracechurch.org/news/posts/2307">Christian ethics</a> are inherently bigoted and that the nuclear family, rooted in Christian anthropology, is a tool of White supremacy. And Corporate HR departments force employees to recite land acknowledgments and DEI pledges that implicitly condemn the Christian missionary past as genocide.The Marxist demand for total politicization of life leaves no room for the Christian distinction between the City of God and the City of Man; everything must be subordinated to the revolution.Anti-Christian progressivism, the most insidious of the three because it masquerades as “compassion,” completes the pincer movement. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-real-story-behind-drag-queen-story-hour">Drag Queen Story Hours</a> in public libraries, funded by taxpayer dollars, are deliberate cultural norm destroyers designed to sexualize children and mock the Christian view of innocence.Laws in Canada and proposed in California threaten priests with imprisonment for refusing to use “preferred pronouns” or for teaching biblical morality in private. And the Eucharist itself is now mocked in “art” exhibits and “inclusive” church services that celebrate abortion as a sacrament.Progressivism’s core dogma—that the autonomous, transgressive self is the only god—cannot coexist with a faith that proclaims “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself.”Each of these ideologies is fundamentally incompatible with freedom, liberty, individualism, and Western culture:* Islamism demands submission (that is the literal meaning of “Islam”). There is no private conscience exempt from the ummah, no separation of mosque and state, no equality before the law between Muslim and non-Muslim. Apostasy is punishable by death, women are legally worth half a man, and the endgame is a global caliphate.* Marxism requires the abolition of private property, the destruction of the family, and the erasure of all non-class-based identity, especially religious identity. The individual is nothing; the collective is everything. Every Marxist regime in history has moved swiftly to crush the Church because Christianity teaches that man’s ultimate loyalty belongs to God, not the Party.* Anti-Christian progressivism replaces the imago Dei with the sovereign, sexually liberated consumer. It cannot tolerate a religion that speaks of sin, judgment, and objective truth. Its therapeutic-totalitarian impulse demands that every knee bow to the latest sexual orthodoxy, enforced by cancellation, deplatforming, and, increasingly, state power.History is unambiguous about where such alliances lead.Islam conquered the Christian Middle East and North Africa in the 7th–8th centuries, turning the cradle of Christianity into a wasteland of dhimmitude and demolishing churches. Spain required eight centuries of Reconquista to reclaim its Christian soul. The Balkans still bleed from five centuries of Ottoman rule.Marxism murdered over 100 million people in the 20th century. The Bolsheviks dynamited cathedrals, shot priests in the back of the head, and sent nuns to the Gulag. Mao’s Cultural Revolution saw Red Guards desecrate churches and force Christians to bow before his portrait. Every Marxist experiment ends the same way: the Church in the catacombs or the cemetery.Anti-Christian progressivism has its own bloody résumé. The French Revolution’s dechristianization campaign guillotined thousands of priests and nuns and turned Notre-Dame into a “Temple of Reason.” The Spanish Republic’s Red Terror in 1936 saw 6,800 clergy murdered in six months, their bodies mutilated and displayed. Today’s soft totalitarianism simply uses social credit scores, bank deplatforming, and child-protective services instead of firing squads.Christians—especially Catholics, who remain the largest and most visible target—and Jews, who are next on the list after the Church is broken, must wake up. This is not a culture war; it is a war of conquest with three armies marching under different banners toward the same goal: the extinction of the Christian memory of the West.Push back intelligently. Build parallel institutions. Homeschool ruthlessly. Support politicians who still fear God more than The New York Times. Refuse to fund the regime’s propaganda mills disguised as universities. Most of all, stop pretending “dialogue” and “coexistence” are possible with ideologies that have openly declared war on your faith, your family, and your freedom.Because if this nexus is not stopped, the West will suffer the same fate as Constantinople in 1453, as Russia in 1918, as Spain in 1936: the bells will fall silent, the cathedrals will become museums or mosques, and liberty will be a forgotten word.Ask yourself this question as we head into the yule tide: When we wish others peace on Earth and goodwill toward men, is everyone wishing the same thing for you and yours?The totalitarians are counting on our naïveté and our niceness.Do not oblige them.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…The bells are already cracking. Islamism, Marxism, and woke progressivism have dropped the mask and formed an open alliance against the Cross that built the free West. Their endgame is the same: submission, collectivization, and the corruption of every soul.History screams the warning: Constantinople, Moscow, Madrid; churches burned, priests slaughtered, liberty extinguished. Christians, especially Catholics, and our Jewish elder brothers must choose now: polite dialogue with totalitarians or fierce, intelligent resistance.Build the arks, teach your children, fund no enemies, vote like your freedom depends on it; because it does. The night falls fast. Do not go gently. Stand.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at <a href="https://www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe</a>

Why Socialism Betrays the Heart of Christianity

In an era where deceptive ideologies masquerade as compassion, it’s crucial for Catholics and Christians to discern the profound chasm between true religious charity and the insidious trap of socialism.Religious-based charity, as exemplified in Scripture, is a voluntary act of love rooted in free will—think of the Good Samaritan’s selfless aid (Luke 10:25-37) or the early Church’s sharing of goods out of genuine fellowship (Acts 2:44-45). It’s personal, driven by the Holy Spirit, and honors God’s command to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:31). Socialism, by contrast, is a coercive system where the state seizes resources through force, redistributes them via bureaucratic fiat, and erodes individual dignity.This Marxist spawn inevitably breeds totalitarianism, as history screams from the graves of millions under Stalin, Mao, and Castro. Socialism isn’t benevolence; it’s theft disguised as equality, antithetical to Christianity because it supplants God’s sovereignty with the state’s idolatry, crushing the soul’s freedom to choose virtue.At its core, socialism contradicts Christianity by denying the divine gift of free will and personal responsibility. The Bible teaches that each person is accountable before God (Romans 14:12), rewarded or judged by individual actions—not collective mandates. Socialism, with its roots in atheistic Marxism, views humans as mere cogs in a machine, promoting envy and class warfare over forgiveness and grace. It fosters dependency on government rather than reliance on Providence, turning charity into entitlement and compassion into compulsion.Totalitarianism thrives here, as the state becomes the false messiah, demanding worship through obedience. Christians must reject this poison, for it mocks the Cross by promising earthly utopia while delivering spiritual bondage. The United States, born as a Judeo-Christian nation, stands as a beacon against such tyrannies.From its genesis, America’s foundations were steeped in biblical principles. The Declaration of Independence affirms that rights are “endowed by their Creator,” echoing Genesis and the imago Dei. Signers like Samuel Adams invoked “the God of armies” in revolutionary calls, while the Constitution’s framing drew from Mosaic law and Protestant ethics. Even the motto “In God We Trust” and the Pledge’s “under God” underscore this heritage.Examples abound: Puritan covenants shaped early colonies, with John Winthrop’s “city upon a hill” from Matthew 5:14 inspiring national identity. The Founding Fathers, influenced by Locke and Montesquieu’s Christian worldview, crafted a Republic where liberty—rooted in God’s moral order—trumps state control. This Judeo-Christian ethos birthed capitalism’s fruits: innovation, prosperity, a middle class, and voluntary giving, far surpassing socialism’s famines and gulags.Yet, the siren song of globalism lures many astray, peddling a disingenuous call to communalism that inevitably slides into Marxist communism and socialism. Globalism isn’t about unity; it’s a facade for centralizing power in unelected elites, eroding national sovereignty and personal faith. It preaches “one world” benevolence but delivers totalitarian control, where borders dissolve, cultures homogenize, and the individual bows to the collective. This extends naturally to socialism’s forced equality, as seen in the UN’s agendas or the EU’s bureaucratic overreach—echoes of Babel’s hubris (Genesis 11). Christians, beware: globalism veils Marxism as “shared humanity,” but it antithesizes the Gospel’s call to personal salvation, not state-engineered paradise.Alarmingly, this deception has infiltrated the Church. A recent survey reveals that one-third of regular churchgoers favor socialism over capitalism. Specifically, among 1,003 American adults attending Christian services at least monthly, 32% prefer socialism, 46% support capitalism, and 22% remain undecided—figures unchanged since 2023. Conducted in July 2025 by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University under George Barna and commissioned by the Family Research Council, the poll highlights stronger socialist sympathies among younger attendees, higher-income households, African Americans, and those without a biblical worldview.Meanwhile, ideological moderates in churches have surged from 19% to 29% in two years, signaling an erosion of Scripture’s free-will principles. This infiltration reflects pulpit propaganda, where globalist messages twist charity into collectivism, betraying Christ’s teachings.When such venom—globalism, socialism, communism—emanates from the pulpit, Christians must remember: God granted us free will (Genesis 2:16-17), empowering us to discern truth. We have the absolute right to disagree with clergy, demanding homilies free from Marxist indoctrination veiled as globalist benevolence. The priesthood isn’t infallible on politics; recall Peter’s denial or historical Church errors. Faithful laity, as Vatican II affirms, share in Christ’s prophetic office—speak up! Challenge sermons that echo Das Kapital over Deuteronomy’s jubilee, which was voluntary and God-centered, not state-mandated.The American ideal of individualism, fused with e pluribus unum—out of many, one—emerged from an unlikely alliance: churches and public house taverns. Morality was honed in houses of worship, where sermons instilled biblical virtues like honesty and stewardship (Proverbs 22:1). Community, meanwhile, forged in taverns like Boston’s Green Dragon, where revolutionaries debated liberty over ale, blending faith with fraternity. This duality nurtured a society where individuals pursued God-given potential, united not by force but shared values—an antidote to socialism’s hive-mind tyranny.It’s time Christian clergy cease in their promotion of socialism and communism’s destructive tenets, even if it is couched as globalist benevolence. These ideologies have slaughtered innocents, starved souls, and mocked God.Instead, America’s Christian clergy must reinforce doctrine elevating individual morality: the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) praises personal initiative, not redistribution. Preach self-reliance under God, voluntary charity, and resistance to totalitarianism.Catholics and Christians, reclaim your pulpits—lest Marxism’s shadow eclipse the Light.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Socialism isn’t charity—it’s theft wrapped in false compassion, a Marxist poison that crushes free will, exalts the state above God, and drags souls into totalitarian darkness. America was founded on Judeo-Christian truth, not globalist lies. Yet, stunningly, one-third of churchgoers now flirt with this evil.Demand your pulpits preach Christ, not communism.
