Austerity, Children, and the Socialist Lie

A pathetic and manipulative article was written by a socialist for CNBC, with the liberal using precious children and babies in an attempt to make it appear the evil of socialism isn't the reason people are abandoning their children in larger numbers in Europe.

This nutty writer attempts to make the case that its austerity, or the cutting back on the size of government and spending that is the cause of the abandonment.

Of course that is easily brushed aside by the reality of asking the question as to why were these people relying on the government handouts to raise their children in the first place.

Listen to the opening salvo in this propaganda piece:

As the euro zone debt crisis deepens and austerity measures take their toll across Europe, the number of young children and babies abandoned across the region has increased, according to local charities.

From this opening paragraph you can see this person is so clueless as to make you wonder how an article like that could be allowed to have the name of a major network attached to it. Oh I forgot, it's CNBC.

What I mean is the contradiction between the debt crisis in the eurozone and the austerity measures that must be taken in order to help solve it.

In other words, the debt crisis was created because of the promises made by governments in Europe which could never be fulfilled. Now that the weakness of Keynesianism and socialism has been revealed again, this is another attempt to attempt to resuscitate this zombie economic system, using young children as the cannon fodder in the fight.

Governments spending beyond their means is what created the crisis, not the new practice of the governments having to live within their means, which is what true austerity really is.

The other lie and outrageous manipulative line is the assertion that the austerity measures are taking their "toll across Europe."

Why is that a lie? The measures aren't taking their toll, they're correcting the unsustainable practices of governments. That means the people shouldn't have had that money in their pockets in the first place, as it was all built upon smoke and mirrors. It was created from nothing but then had to be paid back by someone, at some time.

Many in these countries now expect productive people from other countries to pay for the socialist, fascist practices of their governments; people want to have individuals from other nations pay for that which had no right to be in their hands in the first place, because it wasn't real.

Now let's look at the next incredibly ignorant statement made concerning the alleged issue:

With the cost of raising children estimated to be 20-30 percent of an average household budget (per child) in Europe, more families are now struggling to cope with the costs.

If you were to believe this writer, anyone in Europe with 3 children take up to 90 percent of the annual household budget. Really? Of course that huge gap of 20 to 30 percent is gigantic. What is it? Twenty or thirty percent. Maybe it's 10 to 15 percent. Who knows. And also note that it's an "estimated" percentage.

Now only a socialist or progressive would equate government cuts in spending to struggling families. Families have always struggled, and when left to their own (including extended family and the church), always have found ways to make it.

The costs aren't even proven, and even if all the data are true, it's irrelevant. What does government have to do with families making it financially? The answer is absolutely nothing.

This is an artificially created crisis which would have never existed if the outrageous taxation in these countries didn't take so much from the people, who would otherwise have much more money in their pockets to raise their families. That's part of the dirty little lie not addressed by the writer and those of her ilk.

Now let's look at the sob story from a Greek that is more of a fairy tale than based on reality, as far as the cause of the problems.

George Protopapas, National Director of the charity's (SOS Villages) Greek division said that parents already struggling with keeping a roof over their heads are now barely managing to keep their children clothed and fed, if at all.

Again, what does any of this have to do with government. Charities have been in operations for centuries, and people and families have always struggled economically. What is different this time around? Or why is it being portrayed as different?

The reason is the governments and central banks which enable them, are totally and completely behind this suffering, as they not only created the socialist redistribution model, but then the central banks continued to feed their addiction by printing money out of thin air to support the socialist lie.

Redistribution doesn't work. Socialism and progressivism doesn't work. And government as the source of capital and goods doesn't work. This is why everything is being done to make it look like austerity is bad, when in fact we need even more of it around the world.

This is about socialists and Keynesians again trying to hide behind their failed theories and practices, using the excuse of struggling families and children as a smokescreen to hide the failures of their policies.

Let's look at more of the drivel coming from the mouth of Protopapas.

"For the moment most cases come from [the] low and poor class. Greek middle-class families are affected by the crisis but I believe they will be the victims in the coming two years. They will probably need serious support to survive."

Notice the words used by Protopapas: "Victims." Victims of what? Victims of whom?

There is no answer of course except the central banks and failed socialist and Keynesian policies and practices.

But that's not what Protopapas wants us to focus on. He wants all of us to believe it's austerity (living within one's means) that is the perpetrator of this alleged crime, which being a victim implies.

Look at his last words: "They will probably need serious support to survive."

What is he getting at? He wants even more support from those who have had have been productive and relatively living within their means to continue to pay for Greek lifestyles which are socialistic and entitlement oriented to the max.

Someone owes these irresponsible people the lifestyles they have become accustomed to, in their minds, and using children in this ungodly manner as a reason to continue these wicked practices reveals the failure of socialist economics, and it's far past time to put that evil to rest.

A colleague of Protopapas Stergios Sifnios, Director of Social Work in SOS Villages, says this:

We are really afraid that in the future we will have a big number of families that cannot manage to keep their own children because of these problems. We are trying to be ready for this," he said, but the government must keep on funding social welfare services

[The government must] stop downgrading services in the name of the austerity measures.

Look how none of these people say people need to work harder, start businesses, look to create more jobs, or other responsible actions. It's always about the government paying for their wants and needs.

What they refuse to acknowledge and admit is the austerity measures are in place because the Greek government is bankrupt because they can't pay for the things they promised. Why is that so hard to understand for them? It's because they're in denial. Keynesianism, central banking and socialism do not work. Period.

Why shouldn't the government downgrade services. They have no money to pay for them. The idea of the European Union and eurozone are at risk because of the fact that many of the nations invited into it have revealed their true colors: they are in it to extract as much money from the other members of the zone as possible.

The corrupt Greek government also wants the rest of the nation states to pay for their unsustainable promises to its people, even though Greece, and others like Italy, Portugal and Spain, can't afford to hand out the goodies any longer. They'll bring all of Europe down with them if things aren't handled correctly and austerity imposed upon them.

That brings us to another issue, the reason why there's a EU and eurozone in the first place: the attempt to create a one-world order. This is where all the wealthier and productive nations will eventually be forced or coerced to into redistributing their wealth on a global basis, encouraging even more of these types of situations, albeit on an even larger scale.

Families and children are the victims of this evil idea and intent. That's because the governments, central banks and socialists tried to make it look like a great idea by propping up these failed economies and irresponsible spending of the governments.

In America, the failing state of California is the prime example of similar practices and outlooks, as cities declare bankruptcy and fiscal budgets grow increasingly strained.

Now let's look at the folly and ignorance of another sycophant of these practices, this time asserting the declining economy of Europe, and by extension, the implementation of austerity measures, is producing human rights violations. Talk about the ultimate in evil to assert such a thing.

According to Professor Kevin Browne of the Institute of Work, Health & Organizations at Nottingham University and one of the authors of the Daphne report, as economic conditions in Europe deteriorate, the human rights of Europe's children are at risk.

"Infants and young children are those most at risk of being abandoned and the rates of child abandonment within the EU are concerning, especially in the current economic climate."

"Article 7 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, states that every child has 'the right to know and be cared for by his or her parents,' he said.

Now you see the entire picture of what this bizarre article wanted to portray. The final piece is the United Nations, which this person somehow in her warped mind appears to appeal to as her final authority in the world. This is new-world order type of thinking.

Reading the last paragraph above, did you notice how strange the way this female writer attempted to connect the United Nations, human rights and children? It's mind boggling to say the least.

She quotes Browne as saying the United Nations asserts that all children in the world has "the right to know and be cared for by his or her parents."

What she evidently doesn't have the brain power to figure out is if the government has become the parent, than the government has in fact stripped the human rights away from the child by imposing its money created out of thin air to put itself in the place of the parents raising the child. That is what is causing this outrage and tragedy in the first place, weakening the position of parents by the government intruding into areas Jesus Christ never gave it permission to.

People dumping off their children because they can allegedly no longer pay for them (it's far from the only reason) is a lie. What has happened is governments promised entitlements to parents and most people in their countries which they, over the long haul, could no way pay for. This is what is destroying families now, not the so-called removal of these redistribution programs, which is another way of saying being fiscally responsible.

The governments and central banks, along with their adherents - socialists and Keynesians, are scrambling to make this appear to be a problem because they are not being socialist or Keynesian enough. That's just another way of saying they want money to continue to be thrown their way even though when that's done enough throughout the world, as it is now, it could bring it back into a deep depression, one that would make the one in the early part of the 20th century pale in comparison.

This cynical and manipulative attempt to make it look like responsibly responding to the excesses of big government, endless printing of money, and the socialist lie that nations and the world can be centrally managed, will harm the children, is just that a lie. All of these have produced the problem, and doing more of the same won't solve it.

We need to turn back to Jesus Christ as our provider, learn to work with our own hands again, providing the needs of our own families, with enough left over to help others who may be going through difficult economic times through no fault of their own. Government, central banks, socialism, and a new-world order to centrally run things aren't part of that equation.
