The two easiest means of spreading their gospel would be the schools as you mentioned, but also the media and in particular the news media.

Even during the so-called McCarthyte 50s Communist penetration of the universities was still pervasive.

Nathaniel Branden, in his book about Ayn Rand, tells of almost all his college professors preaching for dictatorship.

The Venona Decrypts bear out much of what Joe McCarthy and HUAC charged. And if there was this much communist skullduggery transpiring in the unsophisticated 50's, how much do you think is going on NOW, especially now that the pinko rats have no geographical home, and are free to roam the world at will?

Even before the Verona transcripts, McCarthy's charges were found to be true.

John Fairbanks once wrote a book on how he was persecuted by McCarthy simply because he was prescient on China; however, a few months after McCarthy's death, it was revealed that Fairbanks tried to bring Communism to Japan and that was a charge he could not refute before a Senate comittee investigating him (William Rusher was there and knows the story).

There are many more examples of McCarthy's prescience. If history wasn't owned by the Left, he would have been resurrected years ago as a visionary. He was a tragically flawed man, but innocent of the best-known charges leveled against him.

I have a copy of The Soviet World of American Communism by Klehr, Haynes, and Anderson. It is chilling, and utterly destroys the "witch hunter" label appended to McCarthyites.

Worth repeating.

"I have a copy of The Soviet World of American Communism by Klehr, Haynes, and Anderson. It is chilling, and utterly destroys the "witch hunter" label appended to McCarthyites. "

McCarthy's mistake was he UNDERESTIMATED the number of communists in the government, media and Hollywood. Anti-Communists have never fared well in the press from Nixon to Reagan.

The McCarthy lesson still echos today. Those the media honchos demonize are telling the truth about some ox they don't want gored. Current examples include Starr and Buchanan.

Hollywood is a hotbed of communist activity. The pinkos know that our culture is easily dazzled by lackluster luminaries like movie stars and rock musicians. They own them, they own the culture. How many rock "stars" are champions of one leftist cause or another? How many actors?

Another bastion of subversion is academia. By slowly purloining impressionable minds, the lefties create a foundation that secures them the future.

And finally, the ghouls own the media. Once again, they work en masse to poison our discourse and create false impressions.

Everything McCarthy said has turned out to be right, and the cancer advances unabated.

Or, better yet, we can let the leftists do it for us - they have a history of it...

That whole series is an eye opener, Commie infiltration of the CIO, Lies about the composition and control of the International Brigades, the various front groups and their liberal fellow travellers in the NYC litterary elite and news media.

Do a few substitutions and it is the Bill and Hill show.

"Another bastion of subversion is academia. By slowly purloining impressionable minds, the lefties create a foundation that secures them the future. "

In a book entitled "Towards Soviet America" published in 1932, Willam Z. Foster (head of the Communist Party of the U.S.) wrote:

"Among the elementary measures the American Soviet government will adapt to further the culture revolution are the following -

The schools, colleges and universities will be coordinated and grouped under the National Department of Education and its state and local branches.

The studies will be revolutionized, being cleansed of religious, patriotic, and other features of the bourgois idealogy.

The students will be taught on the basis of Marxian dialectical materialism, internationalism, and the general ethics of the new Soviet society.

Present obsolete methods of teaching will be superceded by a scientific pedagogy. Religious schools will be abolished."

"Oppenheimer and the other scientists wanted to create a balance of power between the United States, which had the bomb, and the USSR, which didn't."

Wasn't there several members of the Clinton administration who articulated a similar fear about the need to balance United States power during the nineties?

Second, re-read this article substituting Islam for communism. One wonders if some of our elites are not up to their old games.

These are some of the reasons I despise the Left so much. They know that if they present their agenda to the public, it will be overwhelmingly rejected. So, in their arrogance, they infiltrate our institutions slowly, working their havoc under the cover of "progress" and "liberalism."

They secrete a toxin that poisons the very roots of liberty's tree. Its antidote is the cleansing light of day, and a sense of the moral rectitude of our past. Expose them at every chance, and pay no heed to the specious appeal of their lies.

Remember Marx's guiding maxim: "The End Justifes The Means." There is no lie they won't tell, no depth they won't plumb to advance their diabolical agenda. You don't negotiate with a cancer.
