The Illusion of Freedom

FROM Central Government (1991) by Ben Williams:
Central Governmment is typified by Babylon. Babylonian type World Empires, based upon the concept of Central Government, are liberally strewn throughout the records of world history. Today, the epitome of Central Government is usually thought to be the Communist government of the Soviet Union. But, in all fairness, evidence shows clearly that the Soviet Union’s government is NOT unlike other centralized governments in the world. The truth is, Marxism is merely a typical Central Government. And Marxism, like all centralized governments, is bad!
Looking at Central Government, certain recognizable traits stand out. Central Government always develops into a self-willed, self-protecting entity interested only in its own survival. Central Government is never a servant, but rather a master. lt is its own master, with its own personality. lt rules! lt never serves! lt uses every means at its disposal (including police and military force) to protect itself against the public. The people, collectively, are considered its greatest resource, and at the same time its greatest threat. Therefore, Police are employed in great numbers to enforce the Central Government’s will upon the people, and to protect it from possible public interference. lt is a continuing struggle to keep the people suppressed.
Central Government is of the nature that it must maintain its own existence in hostile surroundings. It must conquer, or be conquered! lt is perpetually at war with the public. However, politicians don’t call it war. They call it “Political Science” (the art of conquering and controlling the masses.) Therefore, Central Government’s position of unchallengeable power must be maintained. Otherwise, the people
might get out of hand.
Debt, threat, brutality, and brain-washing are tools used by Central Government to keep the people subjugated. These tools are usually administered through a central bank, a central taxing agency, a central welfare system (socialism), a centrally controlled police system and a government-controlled education system (public schools). In lands under Soviet control, these methods are used by Central Government to keep the people subjugated. It is typical Soviet politics. It is also typical American politics.

Oddly enough, American Central Government adopted Marxist principles long before the Soviet Union came on the scene! Before Lenin — before the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 — America already had:
-An unchallengeable Central Government.
-A central taxing agency.
-A central bank.
-A controlled education system
-A growing system of centrally controlled police forces.
Most Americans are still blind to the fact that America has been a model of Marxism. The truth is, Americans have been so ignorant of the Word of God, and of the meaning of “freedom,” that we have accepted Marxism unwittingly – under the name of Democracy and Constitutional Central Government.
