The Communist Left ensured that key institutions were controlled, unions and Hollywood, among others, to steer us away from freedom and into the hands of their masters.
When we opposed Communist aggressions during the Vietnam War, the hidden Left orchestrated, funded and guided the "Peace Movement" to defeat us at home (with the willing support of the gutless). All of the media was and is in the Left's control and we still suffer from the effects of nearly universal Leftist propaganda as "news".
Now the American Left is in power - with its peak during Obama's rule and we are in real trouble.
FDR's powerful close aide, Harry Hopkins, virtually controlled Lend Lease production and disbursements with just his signature or a phone call. This Red Agent of influence had Canadian sourced Uranium sent to the USSR before anyone had an idea of what is was for, well before the Rosenberg spy ring stole the actual plans. See Diana West's "American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on America's Character".
Missed a whole lot in the middle of this essay: While we were engaged in the Second World War, the hidden Left funneled secrets from our highest positions in government to the Soviets and when the war was over, made sure that the Soviets got the critical nuclear design information they needed to overcome our advantages.
My wife and I “Foyle’s War!” fans.
We just watched a series of post WWII episodes. The writers let everyone know how brutal and involved the Russians were at the end of WWII and post war/afterwards. They show the Brits getting into be with the rich and powerful Saudis to keep their flow of oil coming.
