When Will We Become Expendable?
Originating in the 1930s, there was a realization that communism was sprouting up in America. Of utmost concern, was the infiltration of communist agents in our own government. Many in the mainstream establishment media are conveniently ignorant of the precise nature of the communist threat to America; in fact, the majority has shown a collective proclivity representing a preference for Marxism as opposed to our free market economy and our republican form of government.
Although communism as an alternative form of political philosophy is tolerated and completely legal today, un-American Marxists of the period spanning from the 1930s to late in the twentieth century, represented seditionist cabals whose chief objective was the violent, armed overthrow of the government of the United States of America! They represented Union of Soviet Socialist Republics [USSR] dictator, butcher, and mass murderer, Josef Stalin. They were in essence, obedient subordinates to Stalin.
To that extent, these were card-carrying members of Stalin's Communist Party, with the sole intent of the destruction of capitalism, and most specifically, the United States! And yes, they occupied the highest places in American government back in those days! Therefore, there was indeed the need for the formation of that infamous committee in America's House of Representatives, the House Committee on un-American Activities, so hated and despised by today's Democrats, Hollywood Glitteratti, and of course the mainstream establishment Marxist media!
The fact is, that in the State Department, just prior and during World War II, there were over 130 card-carry Communist Party member Stalinists in our highest echelons of American Government inside the Beltway! It is said that Franklin Roosevelt's closest adviser, Harry Hopkins, was a known communist sympathizer, if not an out and out Communist. If Hitler had spies in place in the period preceding and during WWII, first there couldn't have been many, and if there were many, they were virtually ineffectual when compared to the massive favors extruded from American government during that time bolstering and empowering international communism.
In the humble judgment of this writer, had FDR not been pressured to send ultimatums to, and enforce sanctions against, the militarily imperialistic Japanese concerning their expansion into Indonesia, Burma and South China, the non-existence of such American impediments to their invasive hostility would have, in all likelihood, eventually provoked a confrontation with Stalin's Soviet Union, and the outcome might not only have been astonishing, but eventually superbly beneficial for the future of all mankind! Think about it: the Japanese war machine at Stalin's back in the West as the Japanese continued to advance eastward; and Hitler's Wehrmacht and Blitzkriegs to Stalin's East advancing westward! The humanity of it all! Three oppressive war-mongering killer states crashing into one another, leaving us to execute the survivor!
Of course Hopkins and the Stalinist Communists in the State Department were less than amused by this prospect, so they cajoled the simple-minded FDR into complying with their scheme to save 'Uncle Joe.' And eventually FDR got caught up in this conspiratorial melodrama, excusing in his mind the necessity for allowing over 2,000 American Service personnel to be sacrificed when his administration goaded the Japanese by threats and sanctions into attacking Pearl Harbor in 1941. This is a typical political theme of the Democrat Party; 'collateral damage.' It did the trick - it was felt that 80% of Americans did not want to enter into WWII - FDR and Pearl Harbor changed all that!
So, there was a definite need for the House Committee on un-American activities, and one of America's greatest supporters of the House efforts was Senator Joseph McCarthy, R-Wisconsin. His inquiries into Communists in American Government really rattled members of the Democrat Party, and for obvious good reason. And perhaps he was overzealous, and maybe even crude; but he was right!
Stalin is no longer around, but communism is. It can be found in the same place where it most affected our American freedoms before, still right inside the Beltway. We have land grabs in violation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments approved by no one, and demands by Senator Arlen Specter that we fund the communist activities of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Senator Dianne Feinstein is the primary proponent of Gun Nazism, and her and her husband have done at least $100 million worth of business with Communist China.
Of course this can all be justified with the morally relevant concept of 'engagement.' We are reaching out and homogenizing ourselves. My only concern: When will we the people become politically expendable collateral damage?

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. DSA's members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics.
At the root of our socialism is a profound commitment to democracy, as means and end. We are activists committed not only to extending political democracy but to demanding democratic empowerment in the economy, in gender relations, and in culture. Democracy is not simply one of our political values but our means of restructuring society. Our vision is of a society in which people have a real voice in the choices and relationships that affect the entirety of our lives. We call this vision democratic socialism a vision of a more free, democratic and humane society.

But the allied military commanders sent ther were rather naive about communists. Read Max Boot's book The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power. It has a whole chapter about that intervention. One US general involved in it said the White Russians were committing more atrocities than the Reds.
It will take another 1776 to make the changes necessary to restore the Republic, if that is possible.
Democrats are Communists pretending to be Socialists who are acting like Liberals. |
