Editor’s Note: Mr. Manuel Martinez back in April of 2013, blasted Democrat gun grabbers as Communists. See the article at the end of this post. This piece by Kim Paxton reports on Martinez’s latest declaration to the Oregon Senate Judiciary Committee.
Imagine fleeing a Communist regime to escape to freedom…and then watching that freedom slip away.
That’s exactly what Manuel Martinez is observing in Oregon. He eloquently spoke to the state’s Senate Judiciary Committee and told them what they were doing was exactly what he watched happen under the rule of Fidel Castro in Cuba.
“Marxism is not coming,” Martinez told the committee. “Marxism is HERE. Marxism has been in this country for quite a while, and the politicians allow that, because they are ignorant, or they are part of the plot.”
Martinez was voicing his passionate objection to Senate Bill 1551, which would expand strict background checks even to private sales of guns, criticizing it as a step towards gun control, and eventual confiscation.
“Don’t sell me this. A very powerful man tried to sell me this 50-something years ago, I didn’t buy it. This is Marxism, plain and clear.
They put this dog and pony show saying hey, we are going to protect you. No, what they did was enslave a country. They destroyed a country the same way that this country is going to be destroyed if we continue in this fashion. This is what you’re selling here! [Martinez displayed some Cuban communist magazines]
Communist Survivor Calls Out Gun Grabbing Democrats As Communists
Manuel Martinez, born in Cuba, escaped the brutal Communist regime in Cuba in 1954. On Friday, he saw the face of Communists in America in Salem, Oregon as he addressed, without teleprompter or notes, gun grabbing bureaucrats, including Committee Leader Floyd Prozansky. Pointing a finger as Prozanksy, he declared, “You don’t know what freedom is because you never lost it!”
Mr. Martinez’s passionate testimony included how citizens under Castro were first disarmed by legislation similar to that being pushed along by Floyd Prozanski. This left many Cuban Citizens defenseless, who were later summarily slaughtered.
Martinez is a strong Second Amendment guy too! In fact, he is my kind of Second Amendment guy, a no-compromise guy when it comes to keeping and bearing arms. “I oppose any manipulation, any regulation, elimination or distrust of the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.”
Martinez didn’t mince words either and he didn’t have a problem calling out Democrats for what they are as he declared retold of how Democrats came to power in 1959.
“malicious individuals, masquerading as Democrats,.. established … a dictatorial regime … in my nation called Communism, Socialism, Stalinism, Marxism, and whatever other named -ism you want to put on it. The reason why it was done was to take away the guns from the people.”
Martinez said that the right to bear arms is the same thing as “freedom” because no man gives you freedom, but God. In fact, Martinez said, “The Second Amendment and my God given right of freedom will cease only with my death,” he said eluding to the fact that he would not relinquish his arms in the face of tyranny.
No doubt there were many there who got chills and were emotional as Martinez gave a heartfelt description of scenes of sons torn from the loving arms of their mothers only to be shot dead in the streets before them, simply because they lacked the means of protection (ie. guns).
“I’ve been through it. I’ve been there. You people don’t know what freedom is because you never lost it! You haven’t been tortured. You haven’t been [sic] assassinations. You haven’t been — mothers begging for the life of their son not to be killed because the only reason is they want is to be free. And they killed the mothers, and they killed the son.”
By tangling with the Second Amendment, we are open to Communism in the same manner Cuba, China, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Venezuela and other countries were Martinez said.
He then gave this grave warning:
“The dictatorial regime that will destroy this country in the same way they destroyed those ones that I mentioned to you. Gun control does not protect anybody. It doesn’t protect the citizens. It doesn’t protect the people. The only reason for the gun control in the government is to protect from them, the citizens.”
In this manner, the government is able to manipulate and subjugate the people Martinez pointed out, “and that’s what happened in Cuba for fifty-two years.”
“I came here for freedom,” he continued. “At the time I came here it was different. This country opened the arms for me. I couldn’t get it in Cuba.”
Dan Sandini, from Daylight Disinfectant, who captured the video, said that “even the Liberal hacks in the press pool were visibly shaken. The expressions on the Senators faces … well they spoke for themselves.”
Good! It’s about time someone shined the light on the cockroaches and made them fear a little dose of reality. My hat’s off to Mr. Martinez for bravely standing up and outing the Communists masquerading as Democrats and calling attention to what the real agenda is behind gun control.
You are not selling protection. You don’t care if we die or live. This is what you’re selling.
[A round of applause from spectators at this point caused one of the Senators to threaten to clear the room if there was another “outburst”]
…This is what you’re selling: subjugation.”
We must heed the warnings of those who have witnessed this insidious creeping takeover before. Just as Katie Worthman bore witness to the communist occupation of her native Austria, Martinez saw the rise of Castro’s Cuba. If we don’t learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.
