From Norman Rockwell’s America to Hugh Hefner’s America
Yesterday, I watched Agenda: Grinding America Down. I encourage you to watch it, too, and pass it on to all you know. It’s a powerful movie!
Here are some insights and quotes that I took from it.
The goal of Communism is to detach our culture from any moral anchors whatsoever and turn Norman Rockwell’s America into a Hugh Hefner’s America. Socialism is the first and necessary step towards Communism.
Why is the left pushing their socialist agenda on us? They’re either ignorant or evil. America has an enemy that’s getting very close to accomplishing its plan of destroying the greatest country in all world history.
The man who spoke in the movie attended a USA Communist Meeting at Berkeley in 1992. These were their stated goals:
In order to destroy families, they wanted to promote cohabitation instead of marriage. They wanted to try to get children away into government programs at the earliest age possible. They wanted to get behind the feminist movement because they felt that it had been very successful in making women discontent with marriage and motherhood. They wanted to destroy our culture of religion and morality. They said that if they could get Americans to accept homosexuality, they thought it would begin to extinguish our traditional moral values that America held.
He also found a book that was written in 1958 called The Naked Communist. It was written by a former FBI agent. Here are some of its goals.
Eliminate prayer in schools. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography in books, magazines, motion pictures, and TV. Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.” Infiltrate the press. Infiltrate churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion and discredit the Bible. These people have been working behind the scenes for the past 50 years to destroy America.
What’s so bad about Communism? It’s evil, a completely tyrannical system, and leads to mass murders. (The ideals that lead to mass murders are still being taught in our schools; Darwinism being one of them. If we’re all from monkeys, life isn’t valuable.) They are doing more to remake our country by going into the schools than they could by throwing bombs.
“I believe the average patriotic American underestimates the importance and influence education has on their children…they’re capturing ours through the propaganda they teach them seven hours a day for 13 years, and even longer if they attend college. We are losing most of our children to the other side in the government schools…There is a battle going on for the hearts and minds of our children.”
“So when they’re teaching social justice in the schools, they’re not talking about free enterprise and capitalism and individual self-responsibility; all the things that made America great. They’re talking about the things that made Europe and the Soviet Union and China so bad.”
Communism is the final phase and goal of socialism and socialism is best described by two words: big government. History proves that this is evil and destroys everything in its path: law, morality, family, prosperity, productivity, education, incentives, and finally, life itself. It creates conditions for Stalin or Hitler to come into power. “My object in life is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism.” (Karl Marx)
A people cannot be given freedom without morality or they self-destruct. Freedom and free enterprise are simply fruit on the tree of morality. Our Founding Fathers clearly understood this principle. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” (John Adams, Second President of the United States)
“Feminism’s goal is to destroy a patriarchy society for a matriarchal society. In other words, remove the father as the loving provider, discipliner, discipler, leader of his home, where you instill virtues and integrity and modesty. That’s been broken down on purpose because they knew if they could destroy the family, they could destroy a nation and instead of having a father who leads and disciples, who protects the home, and provides for the family, the government steps in as a nanny state.”
We must remember who this all originates from so we will remember who our true enemy is and not fight the wrong one. “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical – the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer.”
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
Democrats have gone so far left now that they are right along with the socialists’ and communists’ agenda. They are literally at war with God.
What can we do about this? Are we to live in fear and allow it to steal our joy? NO! Here is a post I wrote out last week for encouragement for you but I do encourage you to homeschool your children (“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” Vladimir Lenin) and only send your children to universities if they want to be doctors or something that needs a college degree. We can’t support these institutions that are leading to the destruction of America and poisoning it; for we are the salt and light of the world!
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:13-16
Pray daily for our country and our President and speak the truth in love. This is what we are called to do.
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1 Timothy 2:1, 2

I’m curious about your thoughts on regarding what your president thinks about people of color. Time and time again he has said many racist things against people if color and other poor nations and it’s deplorable coming from someone is who is running the country. So please I would like to know if you as a Christian women agree with his feelings about people of color. I also noticed you said pray for him. What exactly am I praying for? Maybe I should pray away the racism that dwells in his heart?
Check out this lady. She is a homeschooling mom of 10! I love her take on the women’s march and communism.

You must be getting your news from CNN and the news’ outlets that hate conservative values and the free market system since all of those close to him say he is not racist. If you look at what he really said and not what it has been interpreted to say, you will see that he is not a racist. More black people have jobs under his presidency than under our last president which makes life better for them.
He has a black man in his cabinet and no none close to him says that he is a racist. He has done many good things and believes in many things that I value: life for the unborn, a free-market system; he’s against socialism which leads to communism; he’s for prayer; he’s not ashamed to speak God’s name often and thank Him; appreciates America and what it was founded upon; strongly supports the military and Israel; understands that environmentalism is simply a way to take away our freedom and turn America into a socialist/communist nation, fights against those who hate America like Islam and terrorists, wants to protect America from illegal immigrants; he’s choosing conservative judges that value all of these things, and is mostly opposed to the left’s evil agenda. For this I am very thankful.
I prayed for President Obama, too, when he was in office. We pray that they will have wisdom and make wise choices. President Obama was against everything I believe in and in this film that I mentioned in my post, his advisers were Communist so yes, I prayed for him because I knew his agenda was evil.
She must have watched the same movie that I watched since she quoted some of what I quoted from The Naked Communist!
I don’t agree that her solution is to “like” her page and text a number somewhere since “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12) I stand by what I wrote in my handwritten post. This is what the Lord calls women to do.
No I don’t get news from CNN because it’s a joke. He said out of his own mouth that laziness is a trait in black, and many other deplorable statements. I dont support israel because the whole land is filled with gentiles who deny Jesus Christ, so these people cannot be blessed right? This is a really foul statement for him to say. Just because he has a black person in the white house does not mean anything. It’s an heart issue that he clearly shows over and over again. I find it sad that he thinks this way of many different people, Haitians Africans etc. Yes Obama agenda was disgraceful but to see the president say such disgusting things is very wicked as well. Do you not agree?
No, President Trump never said “that laziness is a trait in black.” He said, “Sadly, because president Obama has done such a poor job as president, you won’t see another black president for generations!”

Yes, he says things that I don’t agree with and he tweets things that he shouldn’t tweet but he is accomplishing more according to what I value than any other president since Reagan. On a personal level and from those who know him best, he is a kind and generous man and is being attacked full time by a media who hates his agenda of conservatism and restoring America back to what the Founding Fathers wanted for America.
I would much rather have a president who can’t control his tweets but does the right thing than a president who has perfect control of his tweets, as President Obama did, but had an evil, Communist agenda, including murdering babies as they were coming out of the womb!
There is NO perfect president or man but the fruit of what he is accomplishing so far has been good. President Trump just instituted a ‘National Sanctity of Human Life Day’ yesterday!
And of course, I will always support Israel since this is God’s chosen land and all Israel will return to their Creator one day.
“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:” (Romans 11:26)
submissive,
I find it curious that you would refer to Obama’s agenda merely as disgraceful, but what Trump says as very wicked.
So do you think the countries the President was referring to are extremely dysfunctional and dirty or are they beautiful, clean and function well? If you are honest you will answer with the former. Are you being racist? That is the essence of the matter; not some comment he supposedly made as reported by a known liar. Even if he did say that ‘disgusting” thing does that make him a racist? No, he is only stating the truth, period and it not our problem if these countries are dysfunctional in the extreme. We have poured unimaginable amounts of money and time into Haiti, Africa and many other countries around the world as well as bringing or allowing people (by looking the other way as Obama did with his illegal executive order) from these countries to come here, not assimilate and live off of us. That is NOT RIGHT by any stretch of the imagination. I am very happy we finally have a president that takes his job of protecting US citizens seriously!
So I am sure you will call me a racist now, LOL. I don’t care. You are only using that word to shut down several much needed conversations this country needs to be having.
If you really are interested in knowing the truth about immigration and just a small part of what is going on in this country, here is a website to get you started: https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/
that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Here is another one about the President and his language and such: http://shanekastler.typepad.com/pastor_shanes_blog/2018/01/pro-life-trump-still-offends-hyper-sensitive-christians.html
Almost three years ago I contacted Lori about voting for Trump. I am sure they were horrified, lol. Ken and I had a somewhat tense but friendly exchange. I could tell at the time he didn’t understand what I was trying to convey to him; this country had been so corrupted and overtaken by evil people, it was hard for the average person to understand. I did tell him I had been studying much of what was going on in our country for a solid 20 years and Trump was the only person that had a chance of helping this country. I am sure when they had to pull the lever for Trump they did so with great trepidation. I am happy to see Lori can see the many good things that are happening in our country. Do I agree with all the things our President says and does? Of course not, but as Lori stated, no man is perfect. In fact I believe God sent him in the nick of time; we would have never survived with Hilary. In fact when all the things that Obama, Hilary and all their minions have done comes out, people will be sickened beyond belief.
submissive, if read those 2 links I sent you and come back here with the same exact attitude, then ma’am your Marxism training is complete.
2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Yes! we are definitely commanded to pray for our leaders (no matter if we agree with them or not).
I firmly believe that the biggest problem our country has is that Christians aren’t shining our light. We are getting caught up in a bunch of side issues and not loving and obeying God first.
On another note (as was referred to about all the misinformation being spread by the biased media) is that I believe as Christians it is more important than ever to shine our light, be obedient to God and truly love our fellow humans. The media is polarizing our country with all their “news”. They are sowing the wind and will reap a whirlwind. The media has sown so much discord that if a democratic president is elected in 2020 the Alt-Right will take the que from the snowflakes and take it to the next level. Except the problem with the Alt-Right’s next level is that they love their guns and firearms and they’ve been salty over the loss in the “War of Northern Aggression” for these past 150 years. The polarized climate fostered by the media is just what is needed to start the already triggered Alt-Right reaching for their guns. When that happens the media will think, “what happened???” not realizing it was them who fueled CIvil War Reloaded.
We as Christians need to head this off by loving God and as many people as possible!
Once President Trump became our nominee, we both supported him but weren’t thrilled about it. We were wise enough to know not voting for him was voting for Hillary which would have been a nightmare so we spent time discussing this with other Christians who refused to vote for President Trump. We couldn’t believe they would so easily give their vote to Hillary.
Yes, he is much more conservative than we thought, accomplished much more than we thought, speaks openly about the value of life, and as Dennis Prager repeatedly states, he’s the most conservative president we’ve had since Ronald Reagan and even maybe more conservative. He absolutely needs our prayers because he is in a battle with those who have an evil agenda for our country.
I sure don’t imagine that happening, M, since when the right doesn’t get their way, they don’t riot in the streets, no, not even the Alt-right. They aren’t causing divisions among people (rich vs. poor, black vs. white, men vs. women) like the left is doing intentionally to cause division in our country. The Alt-right never fought and rebelled against President Obama (which they disagreed vehemently with) as they are doing to President Trump. No, they don’t typically have temper tantrums like the left does, thankfully, but I don’t believe they will stand by and do nothing if the left takes us farther down the path of Communism.
Yes, we are called to love God and love others since we are warned that in the “last days” people’s love will grow cold because of all the wickedness around them. Let’s keep being salt and light because in the end all that matters is eternity and where we spent it.
Lori my last comment no was too Janine not you. I asked you a question and you answered it.
Janine…no and just stop. You ask if I’m being racist and accuse me of going to call you a rascist. What is that called. Assumption..smh…so just stop:/
Unfortunately I might have to take a break from this blog. I’m a little discouraged by the above comments. I don’t usually comment but I do enjoy reading your blog and comments when they are focused on the word. However, the political views are a bit concerning. I am African American and conservative. I believe that a man reveals how he will run a church, business, even government by how he runs his house, his speech and conduct, and his interactions with others. Now if the president or any president does not have God at the center of his life it’s hard to choose which is better. I’m not sure if this current president is conservative because his lifestyle does not reflect that (multiple divorces, affairs with women, questionable and hurtful things he has said, etc.) Nor has there been any mention of his spirituality or regular attendance at church. So I do pray for him just like the other former president to make wise decisions. I will continue to follow the laws of the land which are in accordance with God’s
word. But as Christians we should look at the whole matter and focus on shining our light and praying for others to come to Jesus (especially our president).
Hi Chelsea,
Did you know that black unemployment is at a 17 year low? Did you know that 35% of babies who are murdered in the womb are black and that 57.6% of black children are fatherless?
President Trump has helped more black people find jobs. He hates abortion and is fighting against it and the fatherlessness of black children has nothing to do with President Trump but more to do with a country that has forgotten God, pushed divorce, produced a nanny state that fosters single mothers, etc. just as the Communist’s agenda pushes for.
We didn’t elect a pastor nor spiritual leader. God chose kings who weren’t godly to lead nations. We are called to pray for our president and there’s nothing wrong with pointing out the positive things that he is doing, is there?
Sorry submissive, but you posted in a public forum and if you truly only wanted Lori to answer than you would have asked your questions by email.
No, It appears your intention was to pop in here ask “questions” that had no direct revelance to what Lori wrote about and fling mud. Yes, fling mud because you accused the President of being a racist when there is no factual evidence to support that; not when he was running and not now. I should know I did study him back when he was running. I looked up all the things he had done for people of all colors. There are many, many examples. The fact that you did not answer any of the questions I posed, most likely did not read either of the links I left and then assumed a false sense of indignation, and wanted to immediately shut down the conversation certainly gives the impression that you only wanted to cast unsupported and incendiary comments and run away.
The fact that you accused me of calling you a racist tells me your critical thinking and reading comprehension skills are sadly lacking, because I in no way shape or form called you a racist.
As to the charge of me making the assumption that you think I am a racist? Well why wouldn’t I think that? I just judged myself with the same citeria, by which you judged the President. Yes, I cleaned up the language and clarified it, so we could get to reality of what is actually being asked and to what is really going on in this country in regards to immigration (and many other things too). It needs to be asked. Why are we doing this? Do you invite unknown people that have questionable history/backgrounds into your house, let them live there,pay for them, and have them be a possible danger to your family and neighbors? Asking who is coming into our country, what there background is, where they come from and what they believe, IS NOT RACIST. You have been brainwashed into thinking it is (racist)so you don’t ask these questions and the conversation is stopped dead in its tracks.
It is extremely rare that I post comments, but I am sick to death of the shallow, uncritical, brainwashed thinking that I run into all the time, especially in the Christian community and I felt your comments and accusations could not go unchallenged.
In regards to Lori’s reference in her post to the Communist/Marxist agenda that has permeated and saturated our schools from kindergarten to beyond higher education, guess what ladies, it has soaked into our churches and we are sounding like the rest of the brainwashed masses. There is a serious lack of discernment in our churches that I find extremely troubling. Whether we like it or not we HAVE to be aware to some degree of what is going on in the world. We have to stop burying our heads in the sand acting like these things do not affect us. The people we elect are working everyday to pass laws and regulations that do not affect themselves, steal from us and sell us out. And by the way they are our employees, not our overlords. Yes ultimately the Lord will return, but neither you nor I know when. Until then, I think of the future here on earth and how these things impact our children and grandchildren and my neighbors and I will continue to educate myself and others if possible.
To end this lengthy missive, submissive, if I misread your intentions than I apologize. However, I think if you really want to know the TRUTH you will start by reading the links I posted and allow reality (with the Holy Spirit) to work in your heart and mind.
Thank you for the movie recommendation. My husband and I will watch the movie. It sounds very eve opening.
I have seen Agenda and also Agenda 2. It was right on! Amazing how things are progressing . We need to turn back to the Lord now as a nation before it really is too late.
At 52, I look at where Russia is with holding their Orthodox Christian faith above all else. The America I grew up in was like that. This current state, I don’t recognize this country.
Read Pawns In The Game by William Guy Carr and you will understand it’s not a matter of D vs R left vs right. No! That all hogwash to keep us peasants arguing. The school system works. That is to say it works exactly they way King Frederick of Prussia intended. It straps away morals installed by family and replaces them with what the state wants. More of what the bankers and big business owners want. George Carlin once said a society capable of seeing what is really happening (I won’t use his actual words) isn’t in the interest of big businesses and governments. That my friends is what is happening.
