In 1964 Phyllis Schlafly and Chester Ward co-wrote a book called; "The Grave Diggers." They point out on pages 38 -39 that several hollywood moves were actually propaganda that was communist inspired, most notably "On the Beach" and "Fail-Safe" The idea was to promote disarmament because NO ONE could possibly survive nuclear war. Stanley Kubrick painted the picture of our Pentagon and Air-Force as half insane in Dr. Strangelove. If you can't say it seriously - say it in jest- just say it.

Another fellow at work mentioned to me; have you noticed all the films where the CIA, and American Corporations are the personification of all that is evil? When did you see a movie where any corporation in America is the good guy?

Please notice in Good Will Hunting, Mat Damon's character tells the shrink he ought to read Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the USA" Zinn at the end of that book paints a perfect picture of what he envisions as utopia- pure communism! Free housing, free food, free education. In his history book he even damns the US for its actions in WW2!

If you have never read Marx and his manifesto, no need- just look around you. He won.

He wanted to destroy the Church, the family, free enterprise, private property and establish a strong central government to force these changes and also public education free to everyone tightly controlled by government so as to indoctrinate the youth in materialistic atheism and socialism.

Communism is alive and well in the USA today and is the very real and true threat to your liberties, much more so than radical Islam, as bad as that is.

And never forget that the ACLU was founded by open communists.

The USSR fell to the ground, the Chines Communist Party has forgotten its rhetorics, etc...

Nevertheless Marxist theories are alive and well in many "intellectual", artistic and academic circles.

Many Marxists have reconverted into militants over ecology, climate change, animal "rights", "civil liberties" (what a joke), "justice", illegal immigrants "rights", etc... but their aims have not changed : to destroy the Western society that gave us prosperity and whatever liberty we have left.

It seems that not too many people are conscious of the process and the rest are willing to embrace anything provided it promises "a better world ... with no efforts"...

It is a dangerous moment in the history of civilization. But it is not the first. The main difficulty comes form the fact that the enemies are within and do everything necessary to appear like "good guys".


Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?

This book would make a great movie!

About the Estonian resistance to the 2nd commie invasion.

I met a fellow from Estonia. He told me about the resistance to the commies over there.

Sadly many ended up just knuckling under and marrying russian commies and such. Lost their fight in their soul over time.

Just like us.

The only thing I know about Estonia is the really high murder rate there.

murder rate might be attributed to the drunk Russians who still live there.

Communism would be a great idea, where it not for a few flaws.

If we could all use the time spent on paying for our daily needs directing our thoughts on how me might better the world, I don't doubt there would be many great break-through ideas that would affect almost all aspects of life. The problem that comes into play is that many who cannot support their basic needs in our current system are incapable of much any thought at all, which we still need to pay for, and a significant percentage who can think would no longer see the need to do so, as there would be no benefit for them to do so. You can directly apply this reasoning to the tax policies of Democrat types. You can think and do, you must be punished. You cannot think and/or do, you must be supported by those who can. Following that line of reasoning, there are lots of great thinkers/do-ers who are NOT genius, but can make a very great contribution to society...but why should they...if there is no incentive to do so? Work harder, do more, do it better, and realize no benefit. Sounds like a winner to me.

There is also the simple fact that none of what we value as freedoms and rights can exist under such a system.

The SCARIEST thing about it is very few people see it. I'll see little things in movies or interviews and say "more communist BS" and my buddies will say "you think everybody is a communist."

In recent years we had two pretty good sniper movies; "Shooter" and "Enemy at the Gates"

In one the hero is a commie russian
In the other the bad buys are: American Corp Oil companies & American intel services, & American Senators etc.

When they sat down with their millions to settle on a script for American viewing.... why not a real life based movie on a REAL hero like Rick Rescorla? NO WAY! Cuz he HATED commies, even though he was a real life hero.

And why not a movie about the Estonian freedom fighters living in the woods along with the Latvian resistance etc. Action adventure to the extreme and true too!

Hollywood is pickled in communism, bare naked communism.

I know this: My favorite movie when I was a kid was Red Dawn. Americans shooting commies.

Why can't Hollywood do one like that today? Cause half the idiots in this country wouldn't understand why a communist is bad. Mostly because they've been taught it isn't.

From a WND article:

Now comes the plan, SB 1322, from state Sen. Alan Lowenthal, a Democrat elected from the state's 27th District, including the towns of Artesia, Avalon, Bellflower, Cerritos, Downey, Lakewood, Long Beach, Lynwood, Paramount, Signal Hill, South Gate and others.

"This bill would actually allow the promotion of communism in public schools," CRI said.

That's because the state's Civic Center Act already requires a school district to grant the use of school property, when an alternative isn't available, to nonprofit groups, clubs or associations set up for youth and school activities.

"But the law also states that the property may not be used by anyone intent on overthrowing the government," CRI said. Now, the group said, "SB 1322 would delete the requirement that an individual or organization wanting to use the school property is not a Communist action organization or Communist front organization.

"This bill would also strike the law that a public school or community college employee may be fired if he or she is a member of the Communist Party," the group said.

Worse yet, the group said, "the bill would also strike the law that prohibits a teacher giving instruction in a school or on public school property from teaching communism with the intent to indoctrinate or to inculcate in the mind of any pupil a preference for communism," CRI said.

"SB 1322 is simply shocking," said Meredith Turney, legislative liaison for the affiliated Capitol Resource Family Impact. "The socialist members of the legislature are now advocating that communism, one of the most brutal forms of government in history, be taught favorably to government school students. Anyone espousing communism, which does advocate for the violent overthrow of existing government, will be permitted to not only use government property, but work in schools and colleges, and teach their freedom-hating propaganda to impressionable young people."

"Less than 20 years after the fall of the communist Soviet Union, California lawmakers are eager to once again begin advancing a political ideology responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people," England said. "Instead of promoting communism in our schools, lawmakers should be focused on actually teaching students to read, write and think for themselves."

Maybe a bunch of us should just show up at one of these proMarxist Hollywooders - like Danny Glover? - and just invite ourselves in to 'share' his place for a week or so.

The USDOD's strategic policy in the 1960's was called MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) for a reason. It was based on the assumption that an attack on the US would result in a full-blown retalliation and no one would win. As President John Kennedy noted in discussing the aftermath of a nuclear war, "The surviors will envy the dead." Movies just dramatized this scenario.

In "Nuclear War Survival Skills" Cresson Kearny maintains that, if prepared, most people outside the immediate vicinity of the fireballs would in fact survive. He also argues that the Fed did not want to invest in civil defense so they promoted the myth of total death too.
