A preview of life under Hillary Clinton
This movie examines what happened to the citizens of Lia in Greece during the devastating civil war of 1946. During this war hundreds of thousands of Greeks lost their lives to communists.
the greatest tragedy illustrated, children taken from their parents to sent to live in Socialist countries such as Albania, Russia and Czechoslovakia. Over 20,000 children were stolen from their parents against their will to socialist countries where they were abused and mistreated. many never lived to return to Greece ever again.
Consider this a warning to all Americans on the dangers we face under the Democrats and Hillary

To be brought up as Commie Janissaries.
A lot of people have no idea what your are talking about. I saw one show about it fifty five years ago and that was all. That is where I learned of the US involvement in the anti-communist side of the Greek Civil War.
I remember reading that the USA sent lots of armaments to the anti-Nazi guerilla forces in Eastern Europe. The communists seized them and refused to allow them to be issued, but hid those weapons for the war to seize power after the Nazis were driven out.
That’s what happened in Albania, and they had to endure Stalinist rule for the next 40+ years.
There is an excellent movie about this titled “Eleni”, starring John Malkovich.

I should say that the boy's sister who was conscripted into the communists was able to escape after the last battle and flee to the US.
That is a movie not to miss. Riveting.
Hillary Clintons' Presidency will be just like Barack Obama's - a lot of strutting around playing Queen with no real ability to impact public policy outside the guidelines set for her by the cabal of international billionaires who own and operate her. If we end up in a total Communist state, it will be because that cabal benefits from making one - not because of her Alinsky-ite whims. I'm not convinced the cabal would benefit - letting the so-called middle class slowly shrink while continuing to work harder than they need to and continue paying excessive taxes to fund the growth of the welfare state is more their style.
Loose shoes, tight . . .
As noted the movie was based on a book which was written by Eleni's son Nicholas Gage (no, not that Nicholas Gage). He investigated the circumstances of his mother's death, murdered by the Communists, of course, and wrote a very moving book about it all.
In the book he describes how the children were enticed to go to Communist countries and why the parents were willing to let them go. In a time of great hunger, the Communists would line up the people of a village and offer the children a special sweet treat if they would come with them. They also promised the parents the children would be well cared for and well fed.
It was, of course, all a lie. The children were sent off to drab camps somewhere in Eastern Europe where they were maltreated while being indoctrinated in Marxist-Leninism. Gage's mother refused to let him go though he describes how badly he wanted that treat.
Later almost his entire family escaped but his mother stayed behind to be with one of his sisters who couldn't leave. Eventually his mother, an unsophisticated peasant woman, was assassinated by the Communists.
I saw the movie by chance in 1990 while in Europe. Only watched it because it was the only thing on TV that was in English (for some reason). I never forgot it.
If we end up in a total Communist state,....

and don’t forget a warm place. Often wondered if Earl’s nephew Dave caught much flak from team mates. But then again, Dave is a big boy.
Some forty year old truths . . . are still truths.
