In his book, Felos claims to hear the voices of the comatose asking for "release"

About the Jews, George Felos wrote, "The Jewish people, long ago in their collective consciousness, agreed to play the role of the lamb whose slaughter was necessary to shock humanity into a new moral consciousness. Their sacrifice saved humanity at the brink of extinction and propelled us into a new age." (pg 240)

Felos further wrote, "If our minds can conceive of an uplifting Holocaust, can it be so diffucult to look another way at the slights and injuries and abuses we perceive were inflicted upon us?" (pg 240)

Describing the period he was separated from his ex-wife, "that weekend I experienced rage. Savage, unadulterated, and murderous rage." (pg 6)

Felos wrote about his ex-wife, "To her, I seemed unattractive, sexually unexciting, balding, boring, and just not enough fun to be with....she didn't need me anymore. For her, marriage to me inflicted a fate worse than death. She admitted that for the past year or so she had wished for my death, and whenever I flew hoped the plane would crash." (pg 7)

About his anger towards his ex-wife, "I was on fire, fueled by thoughts of bludgeoning and tearing her apart." (pg 23)

Describing the period he was recuperating from his divorce, "it consisted mostly of dreams of being tormented in some inferno." (pg 27)

"Mrs Browning, do you want to die? Do you want to die? - I nearly shouted as I continued to peer into her pools of strikingly beautiful but incognizant blue. It felt so eerie." (pg 63)

"Whatever your opinion about tube feeding, the hard fact was it now stood between Mrs. Browning and her death." (pg 64)

“As Mrs. Browning lay motionless before my gaze, I suddenly heard a loud, deep moan, scream, and wondered if the nursing home personnel heard it and would respond to the unfortunate resident In the next moment, as this cry of pain and torment continued, I realized it was Mrs. Browning. I felt the mid-section of my body open and noticed a strange quality to the light in the room. I sensed her soul in agony. As she screamed I heard her say, in confusion, ‘Why am I still here … why am I here?’ My soul touched hers and in some way, I communicated that she was still locked in her body. I promised I would do everything in my power to gain the release her soul cried for. With that the screaming immediately stopped. I felt like I was back in my head again, the room resumed its normal appearance, and Mrs. Browning, as she had throughout this experience, lay silent. “I knew without a doubt what had transpired was real and dispelled the thought as intellect’s attempt to assert its own version of reality.”

While on a plane trip, Felos thought "I wonder what it would be like to die right now?" (pg 181)

Felos felt that God told him, "You are more powerful than you realize." (pg 182)

About the Estelle Browning case, "I still got a kick that evening seeing myself on the TV news, notwithstanding my frequently displayed countenance in the media of late."

"If I had to urinate, I didn't wait until the next commercial, I immediately got up and went. On the first urge to defecate, I left for the bathroom rather than making one more phone call." (pg 292)

"I can truly say my wife was enamored with me. I suppose power and success really are potent aphrodisiacs-as my spouse had made particularly evident our previous night at the Governor's Inn. " (pg 246)

Or Red Diaper Babies.

Review: Raising Reds: The Young Pioneers, Radical Summer Camps, and Communist Political Culture in the United States, by Paul C. Mishler. New York, Columbia University, 1999. 172 pages. $45.00, cloth. $17.50, paper.

Ever since Plato, utopian reformers have believed that given the child, they could produce a revolutionary cadre, and the interwar movements inspired a bumper crop of radicalized youth groups. Fascists celebrated their "Giovanezzi," "Hitler Jugend," or various Falangist copycats; the Soviets organized an elite "Comsomol;" even Socialists had their "Red Falcons." Not surprisingly, American Communists created the "Young Pioneers" (1926) and "International Workers Order Juniors" (1930). But, as Paul Mishler demonstrates, these were Communist youth with a difference; American Communists developed pluralistic aspirations and party auxiliaries, so that "Red Diaper Babies" reflected American reformism as much as Communist educational theory. Incisively and concisely, the author argues that in the United States the "Popular Front" mentality was in place even before Moscow authorized left-of-center collaboration to combat fascism. Ironically, due to their very recent arrival in America, indigenous Communists worked within the American milieu, and thus stood Red pedagogical theory on its head. Because communists were contributors and participants in New Deal era popular culture, communist youth were entertained as well as edified: a folksy time was had by all.

During the 1920s American Communists' ideas about a youthful revolutionary cadre were shaped by orthodoxy inspired by the writings of Frederick Engels, August Bebel, John Spargo, and Grace Hutchins: cultivate childhood autonomy, separate children from parental authority, stress a generation gap, and incite youthful rejection of their elders' values. Their organizations should be a "Soviet of Children," bellwethers of Marxist critique and oppositionalism. Therefore, during the 1920s, children were asked to create their own cadre within public schools, to campaign for lunch programs, to oppose teachers' discipline, and to "correct" history curricula. The Communist Children's Movement also mobilized against "paramilitary" Boy and Girl Scouts as "capitalist tools." But by the 1930s, American Communist youth education had been reconceptualized, and the impulse was indigenous, predating Muscovite imperatives; during the "Popular Front," American Communist youth were bellwethers of Marxist enthicism and (to borrow a current shibboleth) family values. Catalyzed by their own experiences as well as the Depression and New Deal, leftist immigrants synthesized radicalism and second-generation culture, and aspired to a socialist democracy at once Marxist and Jeffersonian, pluralist, and integrationist. How they raised their children is the core of Mishler's pathbreaking study.	2
Raising Reds is about afterschool programs and racially integrated summer camps, recreational activities borrowed from mainstream society, and civil libertarianism to distinguish cosmopolitan assimilationism from bourgeois nationalism (the "isms" are clearly explicated). Softball leagues, marching bands, even merit badges aped the Scouts. The range of activities revealed a diversity within American communism that belied outsiders' fears of a Red monolith: Communist-produced primers and readers celebrated both immigrant and native-born workingclass heroes (Mishler is the first to do a content and time-context analysis), afterschool programs and summer camps chose either to stress ethnicity (especially among Jews and Finns), interracial solidarity, or American folk culture and music as protest vehicles (Mishler provides an example in microcosm of each type). Above all, the various activities and auxiliaries taught respect for their parents' culture and past as well as contemporary struggles for economic, social, and racial justice. In Raising Reds, Mishler lucidly and convincingly elucidates the distinctive features of American Communist pedagogy, and the book would be an excellent monograph for college courses on education history and theory, as well as useful on American social history reading lists.

"If anyone still had any doubt, this should remove it. But it's amazing that so many people can't see it for what it is."

Just so. The Evil One carefully chooses the times and places to remind us of his power and presence. This is one such time. The Holy Father will soon pass, leaving an emptiness on the seat of St. Peter that none has known in his lifetime. Do not doubt that the PoD will take this opportunity to stir the pot a little (perhaps a lot).

No doubt he wishes a pliable dupe (or worse) to assume the papacy, and he may get it should the European cardinals have their way. At the very least he wishes to block a potential Ratzinger candidacy, for which cause he must rely on the will of the decadent modernist European and North American Fifth Column in the College of Cardinals. The TMS-S case has emboldened the modernist forces just at the moment that they need a unifying cause.

We must be vigilant and awake. Pray for John Paul and his church. Its foundation quakes.
