Yes, the truth CAN be painful. The truth is we lost the cold war, Reagan may have wrecked the Soviet Union but he didn't put a dent in the "Communist Menace". The Cold war was a fraud. The Russians never intended to attack, (though they would have taken advantage of an opportunity if they thought it would not harm them) WWII showed them what we were capable of if our industry got rolling. In BOTH World Wars WE were the deciding factor, Europe was bled white in stale mate, the truth is, had we chosen we could have beaten the Germans AND the British, and still been in shape to stop the Reds in their tracks. To the trained observer the idea of taking us on in conventional warfare was not stupid, it was suicidal.
But to further the spread of Communism it is not important to defeat the Armies, it's only important to defeat the LEADERS of the Armies. FDR's administration was already heavily infiltrated by Soviet sympathizers, The "Venona" radio intercepts and KGB documents have identified over 300 code named Soviet sympathizers with in his administration, reaching as high as Harry Dexter White, and Loughlin Curry.
The Germans in Austria and Norway had shown what could be done with 5th columnists in the short term. But what if you had Russian patience ? What could be accomplished in 30, or 60 years or 100 years.
Then that SOB Joe McCarthy almost wrecked everything but in it's first major operation liberal influence in the news media showed how it could manipulate the public.
Do you think that even China could supply enough troops to FORCE the changes we have seen between the America of 1945 and the socialist state of today ?
Lenin said "Probe with the bayonet, if you find Iron withdraw, But if you find flesh, drive it home".
Mao said when the enemy attacks retreat when he stands still, harass, but when he retreats, THEN you must attack !
Here are a couple more quotes that, like Hitlers Mien Kampf, many read, but few wanted to believe or take seriously.
A lie told often enough becomes the truth.
Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.
It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed.
Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.
The goal of socialism is communism.
The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.
The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.
There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities; that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Does any of this sound familiar ? Glorification of every religion or lack of religion EXCEPT Christianity, destruction of our currency through huge foreign debt that can ONLY lead to inflation and increasing interest rates and sky rocketing taxes, Media as lap dog of the anointed "progressive". Crooks, communists and degenerates holding the reins of power ?
All these quotes came from "The Collected Works of V.I.Lenin" Published in 1927
Just like Hitler He told us how he would defeat us and he is well on the way to success in only 80 years with out firing a shot.
Will you let him win ?
