The Short, Very Surprising History Of Collusion
The Daily Caller ^ | April 18, 2018 | David Pietrusza

Posted on 04/18/2018 8:03:08 AM PDT by statestreet

The further back you go in history, the more you learn.

Take the case of “collusion” or the interference by one nation in another nation’s electoral process. There are a lot of examples: Barack Obama urging Brits to reject Brexit; Harry Truman’s propping up anti-Communist parties in post-war Italy, the Communist Party USA’s control of Henry Wallace’s 1948 Progressive Party presidential bid (in 1944, the Communists had formally endorsed FDR), British Ambassador Sir Lionel Sackville-West being accused of favoring Democrat Grover Cleveland (“For Canada and for England, No Doubt But What He’ll Do/But America Wants for President an American Through and Through”) in 1888’s election.

I don't remember this marxist troll from 2001.
Does anyone?

I'm assuming that Jim Robinson can still arrange review of "Member Since" fake Freepers...

CPUSA changed their wording later to weasel out of it, I believe. But yes, Clintons are Commies.

I lived in Guatemala 7 years, friends of mine worked for the CIA. I saw their weapons, and heard their confessions. I knew 3 of the President, and some Generals of the Army. Facts are that their has been meddling, that IS what the CIA does. I am not a Marxist, but history is what it is. So, now Russia wanted to interfere with the USA elections. What about the illegal Mexicans who voted all over the USA. Sounds like the DOJ is looking in the wrong trash cans to find collusion or interference. Everyone does it.

Well, they missed the biggest collusion of all and it involved Russia and Communist Party.

ALGER HISS, worked at high level of US State Department in the 1930’s and the Communist Party had infiltrated several federal agencies. Whittaker Chambers, an American member of the Communist Party, served as a runner of secret documents from the State Department to Russians docked in ships at harbors. Chambers eventually rejected Communism as terrorist and tyrannical and turned states evidence against the Communist Party. Alger Hiss denied charges of espionage and the only way Chambers could prove it was to dig up microfilm he had hidden in pumpkins in his garden (the Pumpkin Patch films). From this episode, Richard Nixon catapulted himself onto the political stage and eventually the presidency. Chambers’ famous book, “Witness” has been sort of blackballed by the liberal media and most have forgotten all about the Alger Hiss collusion.

Well, at least they never had anything to do with Chinese communists.

Anyone who would make such and obvious and absurd statement must not be from Central America, or in regular contact with those countries.

None, I repeat, none of those countries has ever been one which even comes close to the ideal representative democracy which the U.S.A. has until recently enjoyed.
Perfect? No. Heads and shoulders above the rest? Without question.

Ignorance is bliss. The documentation and history is out there.

This might be a good start on the history of the chaotic countries south of the border. Mobocracy, more often than not, rules; it's the historical "normal." The Haitian genocidal massacres, plural, (of whites) is a good example.

Check this out...

And the Kenyan's interference in Israel's elections, and Clinton's interference in Israel's elections, and the Kenyan's intereference in Kenyan elections...Thanks statestreet.
