Alas, the self-proclaimed elites running America into the ground prefer the former. They will settle for nothing less than a Global State under their rule.<br /><br />We who support and promote Distributism will settle for nothing less than their total defeat. Along with prayer and God's guidance, teaching our neighbors about Distributism and practicing it where we're able will contribute to that bright day of our opponent's defeat.<br /><br />Let this report be fuel for the fire and do what you can to stop the persecution of the middle class.Roy F.

Said posts were not only not in English as was requested, but they were links to Japanese porn web sites.<br /><br />In light of this, I am now forced to review all comments sent here before they're published. I would rather not do it. But those more interested in spreading pornography don't care. So the previewing of comments will remain until further notice.<br /><br />Thank you all for your time and patience.Roy F.

However, some of them were typed in some non-English script that couldn't show up in the comment box.<br /><br />So I ask all commentators to this blog to please write in English only. I can't read any language other than English. So please be considerate of this and thank you all in advance.<br /><br />As for future posts in this blog, they will come on an irregular basis for the near future. I still am struggling with both my Type 2 Diabetes and recently diagnosed OCPD. (Please go <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCPD"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HERE</span></a> to the Wikipedia article to learn more about it.)<br /><br />My colleague, Mr. Weismiller, is going through his own set of problems at the moment. He will post when he is able.<br /><br />Permit me to thank you all for your patience with us on this. God bless you all.Roy F.

But that won't stop us from wishing you all and your families a safe and Merry Christmas.<br /><br />Here is a quote from the mighty G. K.

Some days, it's good, sometimes not. My diet is slowly becoming more vegetarian but unwillingly. My weight has been yo-yo-ing around the 155 lbs. level and I still need to lose 10 more pounds.<br /><br />I've also been taking tranquillizers, due to having a near-nervous breakdown at my workplace in mid-April. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and mild OCD. So along with my Type 2 Diabetes, I also have THIS to contend with.<br /><br />And I recently had a sleep study test done to see if the mild sleep apnea I was diagnosed with in 2005 has improved or not. The results should be coming in soon.<br /><br />So I'm still concentrating on getting healthier than I am, and as in so many things, it's an uphill struggle. Because of this, I'm still -- for the most part -- on medical break from blogging. I still ask for your prayers and good wishes for me to triumph over these maladies.<br /><br />I also ask for your prayers for my parents, who are also going through their own health problems. Dad's in his late 70's, Mom's in her 80's. No prayers will ever be wasted.<br /><br />And as I said before, my colleague Mr. Weismiller will post here when he is able. <br /><br />Thank you all so very much for your prayers and patience. Continue to pray and work for the bright future of a Distributist Earth, wherever in the world you are.Roy F.

The article, written by Mike Adams, can be read <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/026732_military_pandemic_outbreak.html"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">FOX News</span></span> also confirms this in a July 29th report which you can read <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/29/military-poised-help-fema-battle-swine-flu-outbreak/"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br />Even the U.N.-connected World Health Organization (WHO) recommends FORCED vaccination of all civilians from swine flu. Barbara Minton of <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Natural News</span></span>, in her July 29 report, reveals that advisers to WHO for this action included "executives from Baxter, Novartis, Glaxo-Smith Kline, and Sanofi Pasteur". These four companies are some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, and may stand to profit off of untested and suspected "vaccines" for this flu. Miss Minton's report can be read <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/026723_health_vaccines_immune_system.html"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br />Already there are protests in other countries against this plan for forced vaccination, especially in London, but the so-called 'mainstream media" won't cover it. Even way-out-there blogs like <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Alligator Farm</span></span> have been giving detailed coverage of this planned turmoil, as well as the censored protests. You can read the latest article <a href="http://alligatorfarm.wordpress.com/500000polyguardcoffins/"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br />Both Joel Skousen at <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">World Affairs Brief</span> </span> and Ken Adachi at <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Educate Yourself</span></span> are warning people about this rancid act of mass flu shots at gunpoint. Adachi himself urges his readers to spread the word about this and build up local and national opposition to it NOW. You may read the articles <a href="http://educate-yourself.org/cn/skousenmandatoryvaccinations24jul09.shtml"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span>.</a><br /><br />As Chesterton wrote at the end of his great work <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">What's Wrong With The World</span> </span>, he wrote thus:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">When a crapulous tyranny crushes men down into the dirt, so that their very hair is dirty, the scientific course is clear. It would be long and laborious to cut off the heads of the tyrants; it is easier to cut off the hair of the slaves. In the same way, if it should ever happen that poor children, screaming with toothache, disturbed any schoolmaster or artistic gentleman, it would be easy to pull out all the teeth of the poor; if their nails were disgustingly dirty, their nails could be plucked out; if their noses were indecently blown, their noses could be cut off. The appearance of our humbler fellow-citizen could be quite strikingly simplified before we had done with him. But all this is not a bit wilder than the brute fact that a doctor can walk into the house of a free man, whose daughter's hair may be as clean as spring flowers, and order him to cut it off. It never seems to strike these people that the lesson of lice in the slums is the wrongness of slums, not the wrongness of hair.</span><br /><br />In a similar fashion, if you want to get rid of the swine flu, you eliminate the causes of swine flu....not the people who may catch it. And this forced vaccination scheme cooked up by the U.N., it's member governments (including America's) and several members of "Big Pharmacy" will certainly do the latter.<br /><br />Once again, another anti-Distributist policy must be stopped...this one.<br /><br />Let your friends and neighbors know what's up ahead this Fall with this swine flu fiasco, and build up opposition to it NOW. This is not baloney, this is the real deal. Fight this thing NOW! Demand your local officials not participate in this hoax, and don't take "NO" for an answer!Roy F.

Posted on July 23rd, Mr. Carlson's paper is good food for thought, and should spur we Distributist to concrete action worldwide.<br /><br />You may read Mr. Carlson's paper <a href="http://www.frontporchrepublic.com/?p=4903"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br />The paper also gives specific proposals to implement Distributist policies in America. Many of these same proposals can work elsewhere in the world, but tailored to the unique situations in each country.<br /><br />Let us all indeed read what Mr. Carlson has to say, reflect on it, then act on what we reflect in our neighborhoods, regions and home countries. Then we can be, with God's merciful Hand guiding us, one step closer to the goal...of a Distributist Earth.<br /><br />And nothing less.Roy F.

But like their predecessors in the Bush II, Clinton and Bush I regimes, Obama et. al. won't renounce the globalist agenda for something as trivial as America's economic health.<br /><br />From the website <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Economy In Crisis</span></span>, editor Dustin Ensinger reports on how many millions of jobs NAFTA has cost the USA. You can read the article <a href="http://www.economyincrisis.org/articles/show/2927"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span>.</a><br /><br />Distributism believes in "fair trade" rather than "free trade". Those who run both major American political parties don't. Which means we need to continue to get the word out on the ills that "free trade" ideology brings. And then work and pray to throw out all "free trade" supporters from Congress and our state legislatures.<br /><br />Let's not take "NO" for an answer when it comes to throwing out NAFTA for good.Roy F.

Ferrara has done written another column regarding the American political scene. The new "Tea Party Movement", getting people concerned about the economic and political malaise in America, may not be all that is cracked up to be. Especially vis-a-vis Traditional Catholics.<br /><br />For Distributists as well, this new movement may peter out if the angry electorate gets seduced into voting for the same-old same-old again. Fixing pocket-book issues without also fixing social issues won't fix our society for the better. Ferrara points this out clearly in his essay for <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Remnant</span></span>, America's oldest Traditional Catholic bi-weekly. You may read his article <a href="http://www.remnantnewspaper.com/Archives/2009-0415-ferrara-tea_party_catholics.htm"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br />Let us Distributists continue to learn about what we hold true and promote it to our neighbors. Then act on what we learn within our neighborhoods to end the evils that brought on this Tea Party Movement.Roy F.

It's neighbor south of the Rio Grande is having it's problems with it also, on top of it's other problems with swine flu, drug cartels, high taxes, corruption and anti-Catholicism. <br /><br />Kent Paterson, writing a May 15th article for the left-wing <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">CorpWatch</span></span>, reports on how the "credit card trap" has ensnared Mexicans as it has millions of others worldwide. He notes that more than 5.1 million credit card accounts there are now financially radioactive. Just like in America, big banks like Banamex - which is tied to the Rockefeller bank giant Citigroup - have done well in profits from credit card interest profits. You can read Mr. Paterson's entire article <a href="http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=15356&printsafe=1"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br />Mexico, like America, can be freed from this fiasco by going Distributist. End the practice of usury. Reign in the big banks' influence, while cutting down big government's as well. Promote credit unions, mutual banks and interest-free local currencies. It will take time, but with God's grace, it can be done.<br /><br />That will be one less heavy burden on Mexico's back. Like America and the rest of the globe, it needs all the help it can get. Distributism can only do that sad nation good.Roy F.

It explains, in part, why the Obama regime won't look to credit unions for new ideas to get the economy revived. You may read the article <a href="http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/20/2009/3445"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>. <br /><br />Let's promote Distributism in part by promoting doing our financial affairs at credit unions.

Even though - alas - she's not a Distributist, she supports many of the causes we do. In her latest column, she urges her readers to take back America from crooked politicians of both parties.<br /><br />Read her latest column <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd443.htm"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a> to discover what needs to be done and soon.<br /><br />She also warns her readers about <span style="font-weight:bold;">S. 909</span>, the so-called <span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act"</span></span>, must be shut down. This would give Federal protection to promoters of sexual immorality, even pedophilia. This bill passed the US House, but it doesn;t have to do the same in the Senate. The legal group Liberty Counsel gave a press release as recent as April 28th about the evil in this bill. You can read it <a href="http://www.lc.org/index.cfm?PID=14100&PRID=804"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br />Please call your Senators today and tell them to vote "NO" on <span style="font-weight:bold;">S. 909</span>.

As the economy continues to sputter and smoke thanks to both government and globalist shenanigans, average folks are returning to barter to get what needs doing done. <br /><br />This article from the upcoming June 2009 edition of <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Reason</span></span>, the Libertarian monthly, reports on barter's comeback.

And has comprised it for decades. <br /><br />It is just as bad in England, where Belloc - co-founder of Distributism - served for two terms as a Minister of Parliament (MP), and co-wrote <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Party System</span></span> with Chesterton's brother Cecil. <br /><br />This essay from the <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">London Daily Mail</span></span> is from current MP Mr. Norman Baker, and can be read <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1179927/NORMAN-BAKER-MP-Never-20-years-politics-I-seen-public-angry-today.html"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>. The boiling rage against both Democrats and Republicans in Washington is also simmering against their counterparts in London, as Mr. Baker points out.<br /><br />Near the end of his essay, he puts forth certain proposals that would chain down much of the financial shenanigans that many in the House of Commons practice. Only God Almighty knows if these proposals will become law or even get out of committee. but it's better they see the light of day than not at all.<br /><br />As Chesterton said in 1918:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">"It is hard to make government representative when it is also remote."</span></span><br /><br />Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic must be brought out of their remoteness, wherever it is or how it's disguised to the public eye, and be brought to account for their evil actions. Especially when the public purse is involved, as it is in a sickening way in Mr. Baker's Britain. Let's never give up the fight to make it so.Roy F.

I've suffered a near-nervous breakdown, for want of a better phrase, about a month or so ago and have been in recovery and therapy since then. Part of that was not posting on the <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Voice</span></span>, so as to concentrate on my health. I hope to post more often in the days ahead.<br /><br />In the meantime, here is an article from F. William Engdahl of the Canadian-based <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Centre for Research on Globalization</span></span>. It deals with the recent catastrophe of the swine flu outbreak, and how much of the problem is connected to "factory farming" and agribusiness.

Why?<br /><br />The so-called "federal hate crimes bill" - <span style="font-weight:bold;">HR 1913 </span>- could come to a vote on the House floor tomorrow. This vote, among other things, would make criticism of homosexuality and other elements of the Sexual Revolution illegal. Just like it is in Canada, Sweden and other countries.<br /><br />The vote tomorrow is crucial. Tell your Congressmen and Senators to vote "NO!" on <span style="font-weight:bold;">HR 1913.</span><br /><br />And to our foreign readers, we encourage you to begin campaigns to overturn similar laws in your own countries. Don't give up. Keep working to repeal these laws and take back your homelands from the Sexual Revolution.<br /><br />Thank you.Roy F.

As has been the case for years, MSG has appeared under various names and disguises. And has threatened the public health.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Truth In Labeling</span></span> has stated that, from it's report, "there is no crop that we know of that has not been approved for treatment with MSG by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)."<br /><br />You may read the article <a href="http://www.truthinlabeling.org/msgsprayed.html"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>. You may also go to the group's home web page <a href="http://www.truthinlabeling.org/index.html"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>, and learn more about the dangers of MSG in our food supply.<br /><br />This is another reason to decentralize our food production in America and elsewhere, as the leading lights of Distributism advocated. Small farms and farmer co-ops are more responsive to consumer demand for healthy produce that their larger rivals. The same small farms that are threatened by Socialist bills like <span style="font-weight:bold;">HR 875</span> in the U.S. Congress. They wouldn't do such horrid things to their crops and to the people who buy and eat them.<br /><br />Call your Congressmen and tell them to vote NO on this and other horrid bills we've written about that threaten small farms and co-ops. And demand the EPA stop this backdoor spraying of MSG on our crops, which threaten the health of consumers.Roy F.

This was the debate between the Capitalist, Socialist and Distributist positions. And from all we've heard of it, it was fantastic.<br /><br />So click <a href="http://distributism.blogspot.com/2009/04/distributism.html"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a> to read the text of Mr. Storck's address.

In this type of mix, it's difficult to promote Distributist policies to the average citizen, or even get a fair hearing.<br /><br />This post by the blogger "LMNOP", from the Asia/Pacific video sharing website <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">EngageMedia</span></span>, gives an analysis of recent Thai political history. You can read his article <a href="http://www.engagemedia.org/Members/lmnop/news/thailand-dispatch"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br />Distributism is solid on doctrine, flexible in application. What set of policies that may work in America or Russia may not work at all in France or India and vice versa. Each country must be studied so that what Belloc, Chesterton and their successors taught can be tailor-made for each nation's unique circumstances.<br /><br />In other words, hand-craft the solution for Thailand rather than mass-produce it like our rivals in Socialism and Capitalism.<br /><br />Let Thailand learn more about Distributism. For it can only help their poor and middle-classes, of all backgrounds, restore their nation to economic and political health.Roy F.

In memory of the Boston Tea Party before the American Revolution, these "tea parties" are supposed to rally the growing angry American public to protest government screw-ups. <br /><br />However, these protests usually lead to just voting again for the same or similar types of candidates. Either Democrat or Republican, either liberal or neo-conservative, usually puppets of big business or big government or both.<br /><br />These protests, though well-intentioned, will do nothing if they lead Joe and Jane Average to do the same old thing over again. <br /><br />That is why <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Devvy Kidd</span></span>, a patriot's patriot, has been warning folks about these "parties" for a while now. And conversely, what we must do to effect real political change. The hard way, county by county, but the only way to push the big government side of the Servile State back into it's place...in Hell.<br /><br />For over 20 years, she's been on the cutting edge in warning folks about the globalist fanatics in both "mainstream" political parties. Though she isn't a Distributist, she supports many things we do. Like local government over big government, protecting family farms, defending a sound currency, defending the traditional family and so on.<br /><br />So via the right-wing opinion website <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">News With Views</span></span>, here is her column on these "tea parties" and what YOU can do NOW to turn back the march of both big business and big government in your neighborhood. You may read her column <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd439.htm"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br />If you decide to contact her, please let her know you read about her in <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Distributist Voice</span></span>.

Formerly part of Romania and long part of Russia's sphere of influence, it's leaders wanted to be closer to the neo-Soviet European Union bloc. It's leaders are Communists, who won the general election in 2001.<br /><br />In parliamentary elections Tuesday, the results claimed that the Communists returned to power with 50% of the vote. However, charges of rigged elections in favor of the Reds brought the youth out into the streets. According to the <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Christan Science Monitor,</span></span> the youth smashed government offices and even set fire to the Parliament building before local police got back control. You may read the Monitor article <a href="http://features.csmonitor.com/globalnews/2009/04/08/moldovans-erupt-in-protest-after-decades-of-silence/"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>. <br /><br />Like the rest of Eastern Europe, Moldova has been hard hit by the global economic meltdown. Like it's larger neighbor Ukraine, the tiny state has suffered job cuts and cutbacks in foreign investment. Like Ukraine, it has a region where a Russian-speaking minority seeks to break away and become independent. And like Ukraine, it's generating tensions between Russia and the E.U. A report from the pro-globalist <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Reuters</span></span> news service on this aspect of the conflict can be read <a href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKTRE53754620090408?sp=true"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>.<br /><br />The current Communist dictator, Vladimir Voronin, has accused Romania of stoking the fires of the recent violence. Border crossings with them have been shut, and Romania's ambassador expelled. That government denies any part in the riots, which involved over 10,000 young people. Along with the charges of rigged elections, the youth also raged against the grinding poverty they daily live with. According to an article from <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Bloomberg.com</span></span>, Moldavians make an average salary of US $350 a month. The Communists are blamed for this grinding poverty. You may read the <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Bloomberg</span></span> article <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601100&sid=a2S4lz8NNQlk&refer=germany"><span style="font-weight:bold;">HERE</span></a>. <br /><br />Returning the Communists to power won't help this divided land get back on it's feet. Nor will joining the neo-Soviet E.U., with it's micro-managing businesses out of existence and oppressing anti-Socialist Europeans with draconian dictates. Let Moldavia's young learn about Distributism and put it into practice there, and things will change for the better. Not overnight, true, but it will be better than the chaos and cruelty they suffer under now.<br /><br />If we have any Moldavians reading this blog, please go to our colleagues at <a href="http://distributist.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The ChesterBelloc Mandate</span></span></a>. Read up on the fine articles and essays promoting and defending Distributism, then apply it to your country's situation. You have a bright future to gain from it.Roy F.
