Your Vote Counts ! VIRGINIA PRODAN: THIS ELECTION IS A VOTE BETWEEN CAPITALISM… OR SOCIALISM

Texas Insider

   VIRGINIA PRODAN:

THIS ELECTION IS A VOTE BETWEEN CAPITALISM… OR SOCIALISM

Wake Up America! Fight Socialism Before It’s Too Late     – By Virginia Prodan 

 

        Having survived an assassination attempt authorized by the Romanian Socialist Government for defending human-rights clients, I challenge you to vote for freedom in this November’s 2018 Election.  

We Americans can no longer be complacent about voting, or view the process simply as a choice between Republicans and Democrats.

This election will determine the future of America 

— a future that will either embrace Capitalism or Socialism.

While the term Socialism is bandied about, many may not have considered its Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary definition as:

  • A political system with no private property, only governmental ownership;

  • Where the production is owned and controlled by the state, and

  • Astage of society between Capitalism and Communism

My memoir, “Saving My Assassin” published by Tyndale House Publishers, describes what real life and the fight for freedom looks like under Socialism. I have experienced Socialism’s seductive lies and the cruelty and terror it delivered for decades.

Its a life where political correctness and fear destroyed lives and a nation.

People who held dissenting beliefs were jailed, killed or disappeared. Others were silenced into submission. For all of us under Socialism, a “free” Romania became a prison — primarily because most people chose silence in fear, lacking the courage to vote to protect religious freedom and Capitalism.

As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceausescu’s brutal Socialist regime, I had spent my life searching for truth. When I finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, the Bible, I accepted the divine call to defend human rights and fellow Christians against persecution in an ungodly land.

With God’s power, I learned to conquer my fear of people and the Romanian government — who had declared me “an enemy” of the state, and my legal work an “act of treason.” I was kidnapped by the Securitate (Romanian Secret Police), was beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself.

And with God’s help, I won. Ceausescu is dead and I am alive. Socialism collapsed, and today freedom flourishes in Romania.

Yet sadly, the “benefits” of Socialism are taught today in most American colleges and universities, and the teaching has even invaded elementary schools.

According to a 2018 Gallup Poll, 51% (over 24 million) of 18-29 year-old Americans support Socialism over Capitalism They have been deceived by the same lies my parents and relatives believed many years ago that led to Romania’s repressive Socialist government.

Few Americans know that the Socialist leader Vladimir Lenin decreed, “Liberty is so precious, that it must be carefully rationed“ to ordinary people.

Rationed to people like you and me.

We must not submit to the fear of man or the mobs promoting Socialism, attacking our human rights and religious rights. The survival of America’s freedom is at stake in this election. We cannot let Socialism conquer America.

We are here to keep the flame of freedom bright no matter the cost.

We owe it to our children and grandchildren to preserve the rights guaranteed every American citizen in the Constitution.

I encourage you to read my memoir, Saving My Assassin, and share it with others to help them understand the value of freedom.      Unless we fight back through the power of our votes, history will repeat itself.

Refuse to be part of the “Silent Majority.”    We can avoid living under Socialism’s cruelty, which I endured in Romania.   America, WAKE UP!     Fight Socialism — BEFORE THE CRUELTY OF SOCIALISM ITSELF WAKES YOU UP!

Together we can keep America free. Our votes can shut the door to Socialism in America. Brave people are free people!

Vote for freedom.   Vote Republican!   Unborn generations depend on our fight for freedom today.

Freedom is precious!

Do not settle for less.

The Horrors of Growing up in Communist Romania

INTERNATIONAL COMMENTARY

The Horrors of Growing up in Communist Romania

Virginia Prodan / / / 0 Comments

As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceauscescu’s vicious Communist regime in Romania, I spent my entire life searching for the truth. 

When I finally found truth in the pages of a forbidden book in Romania—I accepted the divine call to defend other followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land. For this, I was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself. 

The following is an excerpt from my book,”Saving My Assassin.” It is the story of how I helped expose the appalling secret that would ultimately lead to the demise of Ceauscescu’s evil empire in Romania: 

During the totalitarian regime of Nicolae Ceausescu, the most brutal and repressive regime—even by Soviet bloc standards—Communist Romania was a land of lies.

Simply put, Ceausescu turned my native country into a prison land.

Religion was tolerated only to keep up outside appearances, and internal dissidence was not permitted.  

Ceausescu’s goal was to demolish the churches to make room for his palace—his early temple.        

Declaring himself a god, he decreed that he had brought about the “golden era,” and every citizen was required to agree with him.

If you did not, you would face the full wrath of Ceausescu’s secret police, the Securitate, one of the most ubiquitous and brutal secret police forces in the world.

Simply put, Ceausescu turned my native country into a prison land.

Not only were we not free to confront the lies of the despotic regime, but we lived in a constant state of anxiety and mistrust, as anyone could easily and often arbitrarily denounce a neighbor, classmate, or family member for making “antigovernment” statements.

The best way to avoid punishment, I learned early on, was to remain silent and blend in.

Unfortunately, I did not blend in. And for that, I was punished.

ARE YOU AMERICA’S RAY OF HOPE?

Be America’s Ray of Hope 

 

I have great news for YOU.     YOU were created to be a Ray of Hope !  –  Matthew 5:14.                                                                 BUT, the question is : Are You really living as a Ray of Hope?  –  OR  – Are You America’s Ray of Hope ?                                                                                                       

Surrounded by daily disturbing news or constant new adversity, YOU may feel hopeless or helpless.   But, there  is hope – as it is easier to deal with YOUR adversity when YOU believe that God is still in control of  your life .      – Romans 8:31.

Sure, YOUR hardship or your enemies might look like they have the upper hand; but in the end they are the helpless and hopeless ones.    Because – We are more than conquerors in Christ!     God is for us and He gave us all things. Romans 8:32

Please be encouraged.  Decide to be America’s Ray of Hope!         I am encouraging YOU and speaking with YOU from my own experience.   If YOU have read my memoir – Saving My Assassin – https://www.amazon.com/dp/1496411838    –     YOU know that under cruel religious persecution I had decided to be a Ray of Hope.  And God helped me.

In the end – and by the grace of God – I am victorious, alive; and dictator Ceausescu is dead.

Because as we submit to God under any circumstances, He molds us into heroes.  There is nothing about me.


It is all about God’s power in me, as He uses me daily as His tool.  And for His glory.      God is willing and ready to do the same in YOUR life as you let him use YOU as His tool.

This is the ONLY way –  YOU will be  America’s Ray of Hope.

I know YOU can!    After all – YOU encourage me daily!    I am grateful for YOUR encouragements and your support.   Yes, YOU can!

Trust God and be a Ray of Hope !    

The spiritual hopelessness or darkness… or fear of government, not God… or political correctness is covering America.  The Berlin Wall fell in 1989, but Socialism or Communism didn’t.    Choose God’s Freedom.  Reject  Socialism’s bondage!     Fight agains the Socialism spreading in America today. 

Everyone needs to know the horrors of a society without God – Socialism – and the power of God in each one of US.   Take the time during this Summer break and talk with YOUR high school, college or graduate students back in YOUR home, life or YOUR hometown.  

So many academics in America today are trying to sugarcoat their collectivist policies or whitewash the crimes of Socialism or Communism from history.    They also work hard to brainwash students’ minds teaching them that Socialism or Communism is the solution for America. 

I am speaking and have spoke in many Universities – for example – Georgetown University, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and various Law Schools.         I am so happy and encouraged to report to YOU that many young people attending my speeches are fighting  NOW for freedom as they have learned for the first time about the reality of Socialism or Communism from me or from reading my memoir – Saving My Assassin – https://www.amazon.com/dp/1496411838    

Or  listened to my memoir  – Saving My Assassin   –  the audiobook version – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073ZKNM5C  

Many students in High School, College and Universities all over America who have read my book or heard me speaking – are creating NOW their own class presentations from my book or writing a play my memoir for  events at High Schools, College or University or their specific groups.                           They surely are America’s Ray of Hope.                                  Please watch as Deborah C. wrote Saving My Assassin into a play for her High School event.    She is America’s Ray of Hope at her Public High School  – as she filmed it on YouTube –  this link: ‭https://youtu.be/omKFE4KO8iY 

Our young people are listening to the Truth and ready to fight harder for Freedom, too!    It is time for all of us to push back harder and tell the truth about Jesus and his true Freedom.  Be encouraged – Reject the spread of the Socialism ideology in America.    

BE AMERICA’S RAY OF HOPE

YOU ARE THE REASON   –   I wrote my memoir!   It humbles me to know that many lives are continually being changed by my memoir; or to know that many votes or political views are immediately transformed as people find out the entire truth about the Socialism and the cruelty of it.   

Remember – the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, but the Socialism or Communism didn’t.

PLEASE – Take the time during this Summer break and talk with YOUR high school, college or graduate students in YOUR life back in YOUR home or YOUR hometown.     Please contact me if you need any help.

Be America’s Ray of Hope!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day !


To be a mother is the greatest and the noblest job in the world.   It is a life long job and surely the most rewarding job.

As we all learn daily, being a mom means among others – being a nurse, a teacher, a negotiator, a driver, a doctor, a cook, a peacemaker, a spokesperson,  etc, etc.
But, as my kids grew up, I have learned from them more about my job as a mom.    Like, that I was not right all the time.

 

As teens they added another part to my job as their mom –  to embarrass them.

I remember the wonderful lesson my son taught me when he was eleven years old or so.    I was back stage with him, busy with my camera ready taking his last pictures, fixing his hair and his jacket as he was ready to play a solo on the big stage in few seconds.

Next, he gently touched my hand, looked straight into my eyes and with a sweet voice he said “Mom , can I ask you a favor?”

Yes, I responded joyfully. Thinking maybe he wants me to take more pictures or come even closer to the stage to take those pictures.

Instead he said “Mom, please don’t take any more pictures.   You embarrass me.   And please let others applaud first.   It is so obvious that you are my mother!    Please !”

Surely, I responded. I fixed his hair again and I assured him that I will respect that.

Then, he was called to appear on the stage and I left quickly to take my place in the audience.
And yes, I stood quiet in my seat, didn’t take pictures and waiting for others to applaud first his amazing performance.

It was so hard but I controlled myself.    Gently, I turned around looking at the audience smiling and feeling so proud.

 But inside of me I was screaming very loud :

“Do you know he is my son?   Do you really know he is my son!”                                            And finally I applauded too.

 

That day I had learned a great lesson from my son.

Immediately, I said to myself:

“I want God to be as happy and proud as I am about my son.
As I represent God to the world I want him to say :   “ Do you know she (Virginia) is my daughter?    Do you really know she is my daughter?”

I hope this Mother’s Day, and every day of our lives, we make God proud.     And yes, our families too.

 

Our kids can indeed teach us wonderful lessons.    Treasured lessons for years to come and now part of our legacy.

I love to hear from you.

I encourage you to share with us – leave a comment bellow – your lessons learned from your kids – your treasures.

Who guides Your life?

Who guides your life?

Who shapes your desires or your plans for your life ?

Many readers of my memoir – Saving My Assassin – asked me to share who shapes my life or the secrets of hope, courage and victory in my life.

Surely!

Here are my top 4 secrets :

1) Always Listen to Your Guidance

Many of us have plans and dreams for our lives.                                               Some of us seek our own guidance but I’ve learned that there is a greater power outside of ourselves.
It’s that “gut feeling” or “voice” many people say we hear that no one else can see or hear.  To me is God in Jesus Christ.     I call that gut feeling God’s Holy Spirit and it DOES give us intuition on what to do with our lives. Psalm 119:105
It’s not always easy to follow God’s prompting.    But we know that God always has our best interest in mind, and we are wise to give heed to his voice.

Following God’s guidance in your life – you are never alone – and that not only brings you hope, courage and victory but also joy and fulfillment!
Trust in God’s plan for you.  Jeremiah 29:11

2) Go After Your Dreams

My motto in life is: “Dream Big!  Attempt great things!”
Where would you like to be 12 months from now with your relationships, business, and health?  If you want great accomplishments, write down your skills and the actions or behavior to go after those dreams.
Also, write down your daily actions, and the victories and/or failures.
Learn to see failures as special lessons, showing you how to do things differently!
Working hard under God’s guidance will lead you to victory!

God is on your side.   He wants to give you the desire of your heart and your plans to succeed. Psalm 20:4

3) Associate Yourself With  Inspiring “Giants”

Surround yourself with people who inspire you to be better, kinder, wiser, and more generous.
As the saying goes, “who are the 5 people you spend the most time with“?
If they are NOT people who inspire you to be all that God created you to be, you don’t have to drop them as friends –  but – it’s certainly a great gauge to go out and find people who WILL inspire you.
You will find not only great friends to share your journey but great partners and mentors to guid you too.
Often our plans fail for lock of counsels. Proverbs 15:22
Start by making a list of the people you admire and you can learn from. Call them and  ask for their help.

 Meanwhile, look for ways they can use your skills. Proverbs 16:3

4) Reward Yourself – Pay It Forward

Giving back to others is the best reward or blessing!  Acts 20:35
God wants the best for his children.  He wants to use us to accomplish that.
Be God’s helper!     Be prepared to share your talents and skills with others.    Look for friends in need, people new in business, or for a nonprofit.    Helping others out, mentoring others is a great way to improve your life and change the world!      The ripple effects of helping others with wanting nothing in return can transform our communities, country, and world!

God is good and he will bring what he began in you to completion. Philippians 1:6

Therefore :

Trust God’s guidance and his promises for your life.

God will bring hope, courage and victory in your life.

He will make your path straight, fruitful and successful. Proverbs 3:5-6.

 Love to hear from you.   Please leave a comment below and I’ll be sure to follow up with you.

Sincerely,

Virginia Prodan
