AMERICAN LIFE CYCLE

Article from Divot News - So. Calif.

An electric light company received the following letter 

from one ot its customers:
“Dear Electric Light Company:

 “You have asked why I have not sent a check in 
payment of the bill I owe you and are threatening to turn 
off my current. Let me explain:

“The present condition of my bank account is due to 
laws-federal laws, state laws, county laws, city laws and 
trade association laws. The only laws that do not affect my 
small business are outlaws. We have never been robbed 
illegally; only by elected officials.

“Because of these laws of many kinds I am compelled 
to pay taxes-- a business tax, amusement tax, head tax, 
bank tax, school tax, gas tax, light tax, water tax, sales tax, 
excise tax, auto tax, phone tax, sewer tax, garbage tax, fire 
tax, highway tax and three kinds of income tax-federal, 
state and city.

"These laws also require me to get licenses at varying 
fees for my small meat store-a business license, refrigera­
tion license, retailers’ license, sanitation license, inspection 
license, weighers’ license, dairy license, carter’s license, 
delivery truck license and interstate deliverer’s license. I 
bought two licenses voluntarily, a marriage license and a 
dog license.

“My trade association insists that I contribute to 
causes. I have given to the Red Cross, Community Chest, 
United Fund, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Brownies, Salvation 
Army, Heart Fund, Cerebral Palsy Fund, Muscular Dystro­
phy Fund, Child Care Center, Old Folks’ Center, Fund for 
the Blind, Fund for the Indigent, four hospitals, four 
churches, one synagogue and two volunteer fire companies.
“I have one employee. I must pay his Blue Cross, Blue 
Shield, unemployment compensation, workmen’s compen­
sation, Social Security, Retirement Pension Fund, and 
company life insurance premiums.

“For the sake of my bank, my creditors and my 
business, I am required by law to carry life insurance, 
property insurance, liability insurance, burglar insurance, 
fire insurance, accident insurance, windstorm, Hood and 
earthquake insurance, and freezer-loss insurance.

“I must pay these premiums promptly or my insurance 

coverage, like my electricity, will be turned off.

“I am inspected, suspected and disrespected, and 
though I am bled white while maintaining a constant flow 
of money to other people, there simply does not seem to be 
enough to go around.

“Please do not turn off my electricity, for due to a 
miraculous stroke of good fortune, you will get your 
money. While chopping out a loin of pork this morning, I 
was lucky enough to miss and completely sever my thumb. 
It was insured. The money will arrive next week, at which 
time I will endorse the check and forward it to you.

“I shall be grateful for your patience.

F.  By encouraging government ex­
travagance. destroy its credit, produce 
fear of inflation with rising prices and 
general discontent.
G. Promote unnecessary strikes in 
vital industries, encourage civil dis­
orders and foster a lenient and soft 
attitude on the part of the government 
toward such disorders.

H.  By specious argument, cause 
breakdown of the moral virtues, 
honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in 
the pledged word.

I. Cause the registration of all 
firearms on some pretext, with a view 
to confiscating them and leaving the 
population helpless.

How many of these rales are being 
carried out in this nation today? I 
don’t see how any thinking person can 
truthfully say that the Communists are 
not involved in the chaos that is 
upsetting our nation!

WE THINK THIS is important 
enough to be published in every 
publication in the United States and in 
every other Free Nation on earth every 
week. Not to put it into practice, but 
to take warning for it is already now in 
practice in this country. It is a 
poisonous rattlesnake. For the sake of 
your home and your country, your life 
 and your freedom, help stamp it out.
  Of course, we need changes, need to 
keep abreast of the tremendous 
advances of science, but not this way.
 In May of 1919, at Dusseldorf, 
 Germany, the allied forces obtained a 
 copy of some of the Communist Rules 
for Revolution. Fifty years later, the 
Reds are still following the rules. As 
you read, stop after each item and 
think about the present day situation 
where we live- and all around our 
nation.

We quote the Red Rules:
A. Corrupt the young; get them 
interested in sex; make them superfi­
cial; destroy their ruggedness.

B. Get control of all means of 
publicity, thereby getting the people’s 
minds off their government by focus­
ing their attention on athletics, sexy 
books and plays, and other trivialities.
C. Divide the people into hostile 
groups by constantly harping on 
controversial matters of no impor­
tance.

D.  Destroy the people’s faith in 
their natural leaders by holding them 
up to contempt and ridicule.

E. Always preach true democracy, 
 but seize power as fast and as
  ruthlessly as possible.
