Red Flag To Fly Over White House

By Chuck Baldwin
September 9, 2009

Lest anyone doubt the communist leanings of President Barack Obama, look no
further than to his decision to hoist the Red Chinese flag (for the first
time in history) over the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C.,
on Sunday, September 20.

According to China Daily, "Chinese associations in the United States had
applied to hold a ceremony in front of the US President's residence to
celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC [People's Republic of
China] . . .

"More than 1,000 people will attend the ceremony and the performances held
after it, according to Zhao Luqun, who will direct the performances.

"Zhao said the performances will demonstrate the friendship, magnanimous
spirit and kindness of modern Chinese people."

Trying to find words to describe the extreme offensiveness of flying the
Communist Chinese flag over the White House challenges my vocabulary. Words
such as UNBELIEVABLE, UNREAL, HORRIFIC, OBSCENE, even TRAITOROUS quickly
come to mind. Maybe Obama really is the Manchurian Candidate.

Remember, the communist leaders of Mao's China are not called the "+!@#$ers
of Beijing" for nothing. Since seizing power in 1949, it is estimated that
the communist government in China has murdered more than 50 million people
(some reports say the number is over 70 million). As many as 3 million were
killed in Mao's initial revolution.

The historical record of Mao's murderous march to power staggers the
imagination. According to Chinese historian Jung Chang, from 1958-1961, 38
million Chinese people were starved or worked to death, and 27 million died
in Laogai death camps through 1976. The Weekly Standard quotes Chinese
freedom fighter Harry Wu as saying that 15 million died in China's labor
camps through 1997. According to Agence France Presse, as many as 5 million
were killed in rural purges from 1946-1949, and 1 million were killed in
urban purges through 1957.

Then there is Tiananmen Square in 1989, when the Communist Chinese army
murdered more than 2,000 college students. The number first reported by
Chinese officials was 2,600, but then was quickly retracted. Early American
estimates put the number at more than 3,000. The true number of deaths will
likely never be known.

But let's bring the discussion closer to home. Does the name Chosin
Reservoir mean anything to anyone? Obviously, the name doesn't mean anything
to President Barack Obama. However, that name means much to the tens of
thousands of American families who lost husbands, sons, and fathers there.

By mid-1950, the Korean conflict was all but over. U.S. Army and Marine
forces had handily defeated the North Korean army. It looked realistic that
our fighting men would be home by Christmas. But from October of that year,
more than 60,000 communist troops from China crossed the border into North
Korea. During the next two months, the invading communist forces killed more
than 4,000 American troops. Of course, China's involvement in the conflict
ensured a long, protracted war that resulted in the deaths of more than
50,000 brave Americans. And, of course, don't forget that Communist China
also helped the Communist North Vietnamese kill more than 50,000 U.S.
soldiers and Marines.

Now President Barack Obama is going to hoist the Communist Chinese flag
above the White House to "celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of
PRC."

This is the same PRC that murdered 50-70 million of its own people. This is
the same PRC that murdered thousands of Chinese students at Tiananmen
Square. This is the same PRC that sent tens of thousands of troops to kill
American soldiers and Marines in North Korea and Vietnam. This is the same
PRC that yet today persecutes, imprisons, tortures, and kills Christians,
Buddhists, and other people of faith. This is the PRC that still operates
torture chambers, labor camps, and death squads. This is the same PRC that
demands that Chinese families have no more than one child: meaning death to
children where there is already a sibling present in the home. This is the
same PRC that Obama wants to "celebrate" by flying its flag above the White
House.

Why is the mainstream press not all over this story? Where is the outrage by
veterans' organizations (especially Korean War veterans)? Where is the
national VFW? Where is the American Legion? Where is John Murtha? Where is
John Kerry? Where is John McCain?

Perhaps one blogger summed it up the best. He said, "It can now be
official--leave the flag there." His point is well taken.

China already owns more U.S. debt than any other entity. America's
politicians from both parties have superintended over the outsourcing of
manufacturing jobs and factories to (mostly) China. America's business elite
at the Chamber of Commerce has willingly traded U.S. business interests to
China at unprecedented and dangerous levels. Major banking institutions have
enthusiastically orchestrated the commercial and financial buildup of
Communist China. America's military and political leadership have even
helped augment Red China's military apparatus.

"Made in China" labels appear on almost everything we buy today; perhaps it
is appropriate that the Red flag flies over the White House. While we're at
it, let's hoist the Red flag over the newsrooms of many of America's
newspapers; the headquarters of ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN; most of the
political science classrooms at America's major colleges and universities;
many of our mainline "Christian" denominations; the boardrooms of many major
U.S. corporations; and also over many of the smoke-filled parlors of Big
Labor. In the end, they all seem to be colored a pale shade of red these
days.

One has to wonder what the take-away or message is supposed to be, from this administration--by its allowance of such a feat. But, like the post or Mr. Baldwin says, China--thanks to the oval office(under previous administrations as well, not just this one), government in general and major corporations (not just Mr. Obama!)--now owns more of America, than the average American does! They practically own this government, thanks to their huge financial surplus of funds, over what's actually needed to run their government (as opposed to our staggering debt; which they finance!). Therefore, with so little in the way of leadership from the top down, RED seems at worse, most appropriate! They know, as do our leaders, that they can--as they have warned--"tank" this economy any time the choose (and, there's nothing we can do to stop them!).

Nonetheless, great post, flying of the Chinese flag and the hosting of the upcoming event should be disallowed, given its evident anti-American overtones and the mssg. of support for the PRC and every ramification that stipulates, if only by inference.; ▶ Reply to This

Why do you think there is so much sin being flaunted in the face of a Holy and Sovereign Judge. Read Romans 1. This is the time we are now living in. Forget politics, they are all servants of satan. This depraved and Godless culture needs to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached by the lifestyle a Christian lives. Its time to be different!; ▶ Reply to This

...the memory of the just is blessed.--Proverbs 10:7

Here is the garbage of it all...Americans do not seem to care about their heritage. If we did we wouldn't forsake our Veterans Day parades and ignore countless heroes of the 20th century as they rot in nursing homes and broken down VA hospitals. If we did care, we wouldn't stand back and watch drunken whoremongering entertainers rewrite the stories of the founders of our nation without protest.

Just as pertinent, if we did care about our Christian heritage we wouldn't remain silent while webmasters and so-called historians assassinate the character of men like Roger Williams, Isaac Backus, et.al., [see Marsall and Manuel's The Light and the Glory] and lump Bible believing Baptist with Nazis and "Jackboots". [see this link if you think I am kidding.]

I am glad for those that care--someone has to...lest the memory of just will no longer be....existent.

it behooves me to comment on the spirit of hatred that seems to motivate
many people in and out of our great land. That the supporters and disciples
of Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, Mao Tse-tung, and
Adolf Hitler would hate America is understandable. Communism, socialism, and
fascism are diametrically opposed to everything the United States was
founded upon. Therefore, it is not surprising that people who espouse the
tenets of these "isms" would exude hatred for America--at least for the
America of our forebears. What is most disconcerting, however, is the number
of people within our country (and I don't mean illegal aliens) who harbor
hatred in their hearts for our beloved land.

To be sure, one can count me in with those who hate the m anner in which the
international banking cartel has wormed its way into the inner workings of
our federal government. I hate the condescending, elitist attitudes of many
in higher education. I hate the way globalists-- such as David Rockefeller
and his ilk--have been able to use the federal government to promote and
safeguard their own private financial and political agendas. I hate the way
secularists in public education and private organizations- -such as the ACLU,
People For the American Way, the Anti Defamation League, etc.--have been
able to strip our culture of its Christian heritage. I hate the way
politicians from both parties in Washington, D.C., ignore and trample the
U.S. Constitution. I hate the way professing Christians and "conservatives"
turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the warmongering, police-state mentality of
many within the national Republican Party. I hate the way Nancy Pelosi and
her gaggle of liberal Democ rats use their power to promote socialism in
America. I hate the liberal bias of the mainstream news media. I hate the
so-called "political correctness" that permeates the philosophy of virtually
every major organization in America these days. I hate the attempts by
liberals and "do-gooders" of all stripes to take away my right to keep and
bear arms. And, yes, I hate the way America's foreign policy has been
manipulated by foreign lobbyists, socialists within the United Nations, and
international business interests.

With all of that said, however, if you hate America, count me out!

If Canaan was the Promised Land for Old Testament Israel, America was an
earthly Promised Land for Christians and lovers of liberty. In the
Providence of God, America was established by the right people, at the right
time, and for the right purpose. With all its shortcomings, the U.S.
Constitution- -along with the Bill of Rights--is the greatest governing
document ever devised by man. And the Declaration of Inde pendence is the
greatest birth certificate a nation ever had.

In fact, without the freedom and liberty protected by a 200-year history of
constitutional government, all those anti-America, anti-Constitution, and
anti-Founding Fathers critics out there could not even exist! As God gives
the atheist the breath he uses to blaspheme his Creator, so, too, the
Constitution protects the right of America-haters to foment their delirium.

I do find it demonstrably hypocritical, however, for these 21st Century
preachers to condemn America's Founding Fathers as being disobedient to
Romans 13, only to turn around and celebrate Independence Day--and even
conduct patriotic services in their churches. Even more egregious is the way
these same preachers who condemn the 13 colonies in their fight for
independence against the British Crown so quickly take up the war cry for
military aggression all over the world. Obviously, inconsistency is one of
the most consistent trademarks of Pharisaism.

The problem today is not that America is intrinsically bad. The principles
of religious liberty, State sovereignty, Natural Law, self-government, and
federalism are as righteous and good today as they were in 1776. The
problem today is that the American people have lost touch with these
principles and have allowed those who deny these principles to gain
ascendancy within our land. The problem is, the America that was created 233
years ago is being supplanted with new doctrines and ideas. In fact, the
doctrines and ideas prevalent today are really nothing new: they are the
same antiquated doctrines of centralism and collectivism from which the 13
Colonies broke free so long ago.

So, I say it proudly and loudly: I love the America our Founding Fathers
bequeathed to us. I love our republican form of government. I love America's
Christian heritage. I love the principles of federalism and constitutional
government. I love the Declaration of In dependence. I love the Bill of
Rights. I love what our flag represents: a united federation of states. I
love the examples of sacrifices made at Bunker Hill, Lexington Green, and
Concord Bridge. I love the resolve and dedication of the colonial
patriot-preachers known as the Black Regiment [1]. I love the combined
wisdom, courage, and commitment to liberty demonstrated by George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Sam Adams, Patrick Henry,
James Otis, Joseph Warren, James Madison, John Jay, et al.

My criticisms and condemnations are reserved for those who would remove
America from her roots, who would strip her of her principles, and who would
destroy the fabric of her foundation. Don't think for one minute that
because I loathe those who are trying to merge America into an international
New World Order or are working to dismantle constitutional government or are
attempting to turn America into a socialist state, that I am in league with
those who, in their hearts, hate America I claim no brotherhood with them,
for they hate what I love.

It's a delusion to think we have any control over our government, it's been snatched up by the wealthy, and as Christians we are left in this holding pattern while the final nails are driven into the coffin of our beloved republic.
I'm grateful (although I didn't see it) for the man who stood up during the healthcare speech and called a spade a spade. That's the only mission remaining, telling the truth. Hey, if we have the Spirit of truth it's what we do best.
I think we all know what's going to go down, it's already written. The great part is we are going to see it happen, and live to die for our faith.
Honestly I'm tired of waiting, and watching things unfold little by little, the one world system is being set up in shadows, and they're starting here, because if you can take down America (the world's watchdog and foodbank) then there's nobody to stop you. The problem is there's so much corruption in our government it's just primed for a hostile takeover.
The only fight remaining for Christians is for the souls of masses of comfortable complacent self lovers. It's the cause our Lord took up in his ministry, and it's the one dearest to his heart.
I'm of the conviction that soon enough our blood will be a testimony against this government our forefathers owned freely by the provision of God. After all:
