Dear Comrades!

Today, the Huffington Post tied The People's Cube to the Koch Brothers. As a result, there is now a Thepeoplescube category on the HuffPost website.

Koch Brothers Group Turns Obama Into Stalin In Facebook Ad

The Koch brothers-backed Americans for Prosperity is not being subtle about its Obama-is-a-communist message, as Talking Points Memo reports.

The conservative advocacy group is sponsoring a State of the Union watch party at a Grand Rapids steakhouse. Its Facebook ad for the event portrays President Barack Obama as Joseph Stalin with smiling Soviet children bringing him flowers and the Moscow Kremlin in the background. The text reads, "Thank You, Comrade Obama, For Saving the Children From the Menace of Guns, Family, Liberty, Work, and Other Outdated Values."

The ad, posted on Saturday, appears to mimic an old communist propaganda poster of Stalin. In the bottom right corner are the words "ThePeoplesCube.com," a satirical conservative website founded by Oleg Atbashian, a Ukrainian immigrant and former Soviet propaganda artist.

This was written by an utterly misguided Huff Post apparatchik named Shadee Ashtari, who seems to have learned of it from a post by Talking Point Memo, whose thoroughly confused author, comrade Daniel Strauss, had mistaken our Party-approved, Obama-praising poster for an advertisement manufactured by the Koch Brothers, and for some reason decided that this product of his ignorance deserved to be a "news" story.

Ad For State Of The Union Watch Party Puts Obama's Head On Stalin's Body

In Michigan, an ad for an Americans for Prosperity watch party for the State of the Union is going as far as it can with the conservative claim that President Barack Obama is a communist.

An advertisement (pictured above) for a State of the Union watch party in Michigan sponsored by AFP features Obama with the Kremlin in the background. The ad reads "Thank You, Comrade Obama: for Saving the Children from the menace of guns, family, liberty, work, and other outdated values."

The ad seems to be a play off of an communist advertisement featuring Joseph Stalin.
The ad includes a link to thepeoplescube.com, a website trying to poke fun at "progressive liberals."

The image was taken down later on Monday. A spokesman for Americans for Prosperity in Michigan said the image was not created by someone at the group.

"The author of the page was an outside actor hoping to attract friends to the event," State Communications Manager Chris Neefus wrote to TPM. "Our organization did not produce and does not endorse any of the content associated with this social media post."
Conservatives have long tried [url=ttp://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/allen-west-barack-hussein-obama-is-a-low-level-socialist-agitator-video]to spread[/url] the outlandish view that Obama is some kind of closet socialist even though favorites of the right, like former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), have said that the president does not lean that far to the left.

Correction: This post originally stated that the image was produced by Americans for Prosperity. It was actually produced by someone who does not work for the organization.

It appears that these two loyal Party Organs, otherwise faithfully delivering the burning-red Current Truth™ to the masses of American workers and peasants, can't tell the difference between political advertising and motivational art created by the People's Cube glorious Department of Visual Agitation and Unanimity. How could this ever happen? They surely must have this creation of ours hanging in their corner offices:

The incompetence of these petty functionaries can only be excused by their lowest underling status in the Party nomenclature, which granted them limited access to sensitive operational material on the ongoing "active measures" aimed to demoralize and demonize the political opposition.

Either that, or comrades Shadee Ashtari and Daniel Strauss were both incapacitated by copious consumption of beet vodka rations, which led them to conclude that our positive portrayal of Comrade Obama in the company of grateful Young Socialists could mean anything other than a tribute to our beloved leader's heroic role as the composite Father of the Fatherland, in protecting The Children™ from the harmful effects of parenting.

Instead of praising Americans for Prosperity for promoting our visual propaganda message and accepting Comrade Obama as their children's savior, the slothful and inebriated gang of two, consisting of comrades Ashtari and Strauss, fabricated a slanderous, trumped-up charge that Americans for Prosperity had somehow played with Stalin's body and wound up attaching Obama's handsome head to its manly shoulders - thus pushing potential allies away from the radiant progressive fold and into the Koch-fueled darkness.

Let us be clear:

The above visual agitation poster was created by us in January of last year as an illustration to the following People's Cube article by Comrade Nomenklatura-Climber:

President Hosts Children to Discuss Weapons and Parents

It was then posted on Facebook and Twitter and enthusiastically shared by the triumphant multitudes of workers, peasants, and toiling intelligentsia. This is how it must have wound up in the hands of the AFP, opening their eyes to the supremacy of economic equality over prosperity.


We expect low-level apparatchiks Ashtari and Strauss to face appropriate disciplinary action and mandatory re-education that would cure them of their embarrassingly parochial close-mindedness. It is also imperative that they undergo a compulsory treatment for their beet vodka addiction at our Karl Marx Treatment Center, where they will be required to read the People's Cube on a regular basis, starting with this article:

Communists Sue Democratic Party For Stealing Platform

In the interest of historical accuracy, here are the screenshots of both publications:

End of transmission.

Quote: "The ad includes a link to thepeoplescube.com, a website [highlight=#ffff00]trying[/highlight] to poke fun at "progressive liberals."

Leader Red,

I see a lawsuit here somewhere. The nerve of these people demeaning TPC by claiming we are "...[highlight=#ffff00]trying[/highlight] to poke fun at progressive liberals." We're not trying, we're succeeding! And isn't the phrase "progressive liberal?" redundant?

After the SOTU please repost "We will Barry you" to all the collective MSM. Such enlightenment should be heralded for all the world to see and hear. Our Dear
Leader and his poltergeist Uncle Nikita should be recognized for their "wisdom"

The cognitive dissonance is just amazing. Huffington Post is also running an article at the very same time that this other tripe was published decrying a satire agitprop piece from an obvious satire site.

Titled:

Republicans Decry Obama Plans To Bypass Congress To Advance Agenda

U.S. President Barack Obama's strategy to bypass Congress this year with executive orders to advance his policy agenda received a cold reaction on Sunday from Republican leaders, who accused the White House of arrogance and sidestepping the political process.

# Irony is when a non-satire sites actual reporting now more closely resembles an original satirical take then when the satire was even originally published.

Blasphemy!! Once a Soviet propaganda artist always a soviet propaganda artist!

The nerve of our fellow-travelers at the Huff to strip comrade Oleg of his glorious title and position.

Comrades! This not the only Homage to 'The Cube':

I denounce the HuffingGlue Post for besmirching of the People's Director by suggesting that he would ever take a penny of Koch bros. blood money.

Umm, that said, when can the Union of Splitters and Factions expect to have a share of this non-existent money redistributed? Commissar Big Fur Hat is eager to go boat shopping and Maksim has already ordered a crystal chandelier for his dacha.

I myself have rung up a sizable tab at the local nudie bar which I'd like to pay off.

Comrades Shadee Ashtari and Daniel Strauss can take solace that they will not be charged with plagiarism, since there is no more private property, intellectual or otherwise, in the Glorius World of Next (tonight, actually) Tuesday™ . Huff Post editors, however, should be chastised for not seeing the obvious praise such agitprop bestows upon Dear Leader.

Apparently the Huffington Post has overlooked The People's Cube's hagiographic depiction of the Wisdom and Benevolence of President Obama by showing that if somehow he were to have been King of England at the right moment in history, the American Revolutionary War would have not occurred because the Revolutionary Leaders would have recognized and accepted his assurances that "Ye the People, If You Like Your Liberty, You Can Keep It." What greater honor could the Cube possibly bestow upon Our Leader today?

--KOOK

Comrade Tracy, who sent us the original link to the HuffPost story, later sent this revolutionary music video with wild and crazy Soviet rock'n'rollers demanding to stop the Koch Brothers (with English subtitles).

I just heard the glorious news comrades and rushed right over! Does this influx of Cock capital mean that we will finally be rid of those hideous pop-up ads? Will we finally get to be just like ideal prog network PBS????? I know this must be true because HuffPo is always korrekt!

Look what I found! It's true!

Reading the comments over at Huffpost, it's clear that they don't get it and that humor is a foreign concept, probably created by the Koch brothers in order to demean our hard working president. !#@<!&#$ racists!

Then again, due to all of the denial and misdirection here at The People's Cube, the Huffers know fer shure, ya know? that the Koch Brothers are somehow involved in this.

Maybe the Huffers would prefer alternate imagery?

Raaaaaaaaaaaaciiiiiiiiiiissssssssssst.
Channeling Huff Po.

Hey Oleg - Fifteen minutes later and I'm just now tapering off my howls of laughter.

This is yet more proof that leftists are Stupid, Ignorant, Humorless. Their use of the Koch brothers as a dog whistle is so predictable.

Next time warn us so we'll be ready. I'm lucky that I'd just "pumped the bilges" or else I might have peed my pants.
Keep up the good work! See you soon at the FEMA Political Reeducation Camp. I'll be over at the horseshoe pit.

I am jealous of Soviet guitarist! Such STAGE PRESENCE! Such TONE! (no doubt the SovTek tubes in amplifier!).

I want Motherland gig.

And I hate Koch Brothers. Who are they again?

Conservatives have long tried to spread the outlandish view that Obama is some kind of closet socialist even though favorites of the right, like former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), have said that the president does not lean that far to the left.

What is wrong with being a socialist?

From the Oxford English Dictionary:

socialism |ˈsōSHəˌlizəm|
noun
a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

The regulation of production, distribution, and exchange by the community as a whole is the entire point of having regulatory agencies for the government to make and enforce the policies necessary to improve the environment, keep us safe from harmful products and practices, and force those that would impose social inequality on the 99% to shape up or else. The alternative to socialism would be chaos and anarchy. Chaos and anarchy of the unfettered market are, as President Obama has said, "the failed policies of the past that didn't work." All thinking peoples are socialists and believe we need the community as a whole to regulate commerce... and a whole lot more. This is why we need the government to work, in order to do The People's Business of making the right policies to guide every aspect of society that needs to be guided. Even the framers of the constitution were socialists as evidenced by the fact that they provided the Commerce Clause in the constitution and, as soon as the first congress met in 1789, they created all the regulatory agencies we enjoy today.

What on earth would the alternative to socialism be? Greedy plutocrats using the State for their own self-interest. Or, chaos and anarchy. Or, Monarchy; wherein the ruler rules unilaterally with no regard for the people or the people's representatives in the legislature.

One of my new baby chupacabras rats had an appropriate reaction to the state of the union address. Phoebe is usually quite a bit more energetic, but succumbed to the human Quaalude.

Comrade,

Many young females are lulled into a sense of peace and relaxation by the melodious tone of Dear Leader's voice. I'm sure she's dreaming little rat dreams of endless mountains of free cheese.

Purely coincidental that Craptek's name is on the receipt for rufinol, and the complaints of date-rape by underage rats is skyrocketing... Nothin to see here. Move along.

Comrades! It should not be missed that down In Texastan ALL carbonated drinks are Koch! Please do not confuse the Bourgeois down here as it is difficult enough towing the party line and reciting glorious leaders platitudes while square dancing with purple haired ladies high on lavender vodka. The things I do for this party! The cat ladies down here think I have been talking about Chairman Meow! It is enough to make a party member swear off his daily ration of beet-Vodka. Comrade Ratskins, I need to borrow your sleeping progressive for a moment please...

Khruelchev wrote:Comrades! It should not be missed that down In Texastan ALL carbonated drinks are Koch!

You are correct, Khruelchev. It's all Koch to us Texans. Just part of the GOP propaganda scheme I guess.

Have a Koch and a smile.

Ratskins.Any relations?

El Presidente - but I thought that Woodrow Vermin was a White House Rat?

-He created the IRS and the "progressive" income tax

-He sucked America into WWI and the delights of trench warfare

-He pushed the League Of Nations on an ungrateful nation

El Presidente: As you can see, Phoebe's sister is in the sub-basement of the White House wringing her verminesque paws in gleeful anticipation of their coming coup. Heck...why not? They couldn't do any worse than the current occupant! Eh tu, Daphne! [/b]

Juche Couture wrote:El Presidente - but I thought that Woodrow Vermin was a White House Rat?

Rat/Mouse Mouse/Rat it is all the same in the rodent progressive kingdom. We do not distinguish between such trivialities.

No! Bad dog. Size matters, these are rodents... Rats are bigger, like squirrels.

The Glorious Ministry of Superb News-like Blather and Commentary (MSNBC) is always on case sniffing out running dogs! Let us praise their zealous pursuit of...whatever they are pursuing!

Consider it gloriously praised, Comrade!

Welcome to The Cube™, and do let me know if you ever wanna do a progressive dual-guitar harmony duet!

If Pinkie is on percussion, I'll wait from a safe distance for the 8- track to be released...

"Welcome to The Cube™, and do let me know if you ever wanna do a progressive dual-guitar harmony duet!"

Thank you for your welcome! Yes, we can play together anytime you want! Thanks to Glorious Leader, we won't need microphones or recording equipment! Glorious Leader has microphones everywhere and is recording everything anyway! No note is ever lost!

Oh, please forgive me, Comrade! I slipped and mixed up MSNBC with HuffPo. I'm sure you can forgive. Or, at least, denounce me to KGBNSA gently.

Is big insult to say that Dear Reader Obama's head was grafted to a picture of Uncle Iosef...the body is CLEARLY that of decadent Chairman MAO! Huffpoo has committed a SERIOUS thoughtcrime!
