“The Squad”
There are now those of the Democratic Party who are leaning toward something even more sinister than socialism—Marxism. The leader of this move is not Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schummer, but a foursome being called “The Quad” or “Squad.” This group is made up of four women of color who make Nancy and Chuck sound like ultraconservatives. They take the Democratic Party even further to the left with a new party name, “The Justice Democrats.” Certainly, the vast majority of the Democratic Party would not agree with their politics, but they are allowing these four women to take the lead by their representation.
Just what do “Justice Democrats” demand and who are they? These neo-libs are the opposite of the neo-cons. The neo-libs believe that most Democrats are not far enough left and challenge them in the primaries to eventually take their seat, regardless of how long they have been in office. Since most voters—Democrats and Republicans—pay little or no attention to primaries, they could be more easily beaten at a runoff level rather than the general election trying to unseat an incumbent. They choose the weakest sitting Democrats and oppose them with a member of the Justice Democrats. Their goal is to add their brand of politics to every seat in the House of Representatives and Senate, eventually taking over and changing the direction of liberty into the enslavement of nothing less than communism.
For instance, Sean McElwee, the liberal co-founder of Data for Progress, selected a list of Democratic House members that should be opposed. According to the New York Times, “There was Representative Stephen F. Lynch of Massachusetts, a moderate, perennial primary target who voted against the Affordable Care Act in 2010; Representative Henry Cuellar of Texas , who raised money for a Republican House incumbent last year as a popular Democratic challenger was closing in; Representative Daniel Lipinski, an old-school Chicago-area politician who has voted against gay marriage and tried to sink Obamacare; and Representative Eliot L. Engel of New York, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee who has clashed with one of the highest-profile liberal freshmen, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.”
Although the Quad is mainly at war with white men, any beatable Democrat of any color is fair game. They are dedicated to the goal of impeachment of President Trump.
The first member of the Squad is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or AOC as she is known. AOC was born on October 13, 1989, which makes her too young to run for president; she will not be eligible until 2024. Hopefully, she will become ancient history by then. AOC graduated from Boston University and majored in international relations and economics. She beat the 10-term incumbent, Democrat Joe Crowley. She is one of the first Justice Democrats to win a seat in the House of Representatives and is an active member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). AOC claims that she may be a descendant of Sephardic Jews that fled from the Spanish Inquisition to the Caribbean.
AOC advocates free Medicare for all, federal jobs guarantee, abolishing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, free public college for all, a 70 percent marginal tax rate for incomes above $70 million, and she backs the Green New Deal. The Green New Deal would eliminate the use of coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear and internal-combustion engines (heritage.org).
In 2017, the Justice Democrats sent out notices for auditions to become their representative in the U.S. House of Representatives. AOC’s brother entered her name, and she was selected for the role. She was found in a restaurant working as a bartender. She was trained for the role and was coached by the founders of the Justice Democrats. She is nothing more than an actress, not a politician. In the 2018 elections, 26 of the 79 candidates endorsed by the Justice Democrats won their primaries. Out of the 26 chosen, seven became representatives. Raul Grijalva, Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , and Pramila Jayapal (wikipedia.org). Their plan in 2020 is to run for 100 for seats in the House, eventually taking over the House.
The next member of the Squad is Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. She is a Muslim born in Somalia. She came to the United States as a refugee and became an American citizen in 2000. She also ran with the support of the Justice Democrats. She is a proponent of Medicare for all, abolishing ICE, tuition-free college and debt-forgiveness, and raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Being Muslim, she is extremely anti-Semitic and is a vocal critic of the so-called bad treatment of the Palestinians by Israel. She has been arrested for trespassing and racked up a series of traffic violations including driving without a license. She seems to believe she is responsible to sharia law only.
The next member of the Squad is Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, who is the first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress. She supports Medicare for all, a $15 minimum wage, debt-free college, and abolishment of ICE. Tlaib became the first Muslim woman to join the U.S. Congress. Hours after being sworn into Congress, Tlaib grabbed headlines when she told the audience at a progressive event, “We’re gonna go in there and we’re going to impeach the motherf****r” in reference to Trump (cnn.com). Tlaib also supports Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) of Israel, the Palestinian-led campaign promoting a boycott of Israeli manufacturing and produce goods from other countries. The purpose of BDS is to apply political and economic pressure on the State of Israel to form a two-state solution. This position proves that she is anti-Israel and anti-Semitic.
The final member of the progressive Quad is Ayanna Pressley. She sometimes shows signs of not being part of the group. For instance, “The matter in question was a resolution opposing a Palestinian-led movement to boycott Israel. The measure passed the House overwhelmingly on July 23. Among the 17 ‘no’ votes were three members of the Squad: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Pressley, the fourth, voted ‘yes.’” She worked for Senator Kerry for 13 years. She is a consummate progressive whose moral attributes are in doubt. “One former aide recalls the reaction, among male councilors, to one of Pressley’s early initiatives to bolster sex education programming and provide condoms in Boston public schools” (politico.com). She also campaigned for more black liquor stores to increase the number of black businesses in her district.
The Justice Democrats do not represent the moderate democrats but represent a new party that should be called the anti-party because they seem to be against all sanity in their far out demands.
The founders of the Justice Democrats have taken Bernie’s socialist ideas and made a left turn with them. The three leaders of Justice Democrats met back in 2015, when the only thing they had in common was the fact that they each dropped everything they were doing and went to work for Sanders, not long after he declared his candidacy. “I wasn’t entirely sure he had all the right solutions but I knew he was talking about the right problems,” Chakrabarti, one of the leaders, tells Rolling Stone.
Sharmishta Chakrabarti is a member of the House of Lords in Britain. She was born of Bengali parents and is British by birth. Corbin Trent was the other co-founder of the Justice Democrats and “Corbin Trent is a co-founder of Brand New Congress and a co-director of Justice Democrats, two grassroots organizations working to elect progressive Democrats to Congress — leaders who’ll work for real people and not big money interests. Trent was the National Campaign Coordinator for the Bernie Sanders Campaign, and recently served as the Communications Director for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez” (campaignforamericasfuture.org). Trent was AOC’s chief-of-staff during her campaign.
So, where do this people get the backing to destroy America? The former governor of Arkansas has this to say about George Soros’s contribution to America’s destruction. “Members linked to Soros-funded digital media asked Ocasio-Cortez to run for office,” the report states, “which guarantees she would get favorable news coverage by a media network that reaches almost 300 million people monthly.” Well, we know it was Justice Democrats that recruited her to run for office, so this suggests a strong connection. “According to the Media Research Center, [George] Soros funds nearly every major left-wing media source in the United States” (sstrseam.org).
However, neither Bernie Sanders or now Justice Democrats have proved to be far-left enough, so a new organization is now being formed. Where will it all end? If any one of the left-wing Democrats should happen to win the next office of the president, we are in deep trouble. If one is elected then we know the end has to be near—“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).
Israel often found itself in the same position because of a lack of reliance on the Lord, but it was their own fault for not following God’s direction. “Now for a long season Israel hath been without a teaching priest, and without law. But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. And in those times there wa no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the country” (2 Chron. 15:3–5). Will God be found among the people of this nation or will these great vexations bring about the end?
