While taking cover behind populist reforms, Franklin Roosevelt persuaded America to overlook his allying this great nation with the most heinous of regimes, the USSR. In effect, he instructed Americans to overlook genocide, oppression, and lawlessness. Today his handiwork is what is called "moral equivalence," the view that could be phrased as 'who are we to judge others.'
1. Study the direction of America up to the FDR regime, and one can compare the American Revolution, memorialized in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Judeo-Christian religious view, with the French Revolution, based on casting out religion to be replaced with 'reason.'
a. How did Robespierre actually interpret these principles? He said: [W]e must exterminate all our enemies with the law in our hands; the Declaration of Rights offers no safeguard to conspirators; the suspicions of enlightened patriotism might offer a better guide than formal rules of evidence.

b. Notice the echo in the actions of the early Progressives who suggested that the US Constitution may be shed, like a garment. Somehow, the Left sees their views as superior those of the Founders.http://www.nationalaffairs.com/docl...hvsthefrenchenlightmentgertrudehimmelfarb.pdf
c. But which revolution turned their nation into an abattoir with over 600,000 slaughtered?
And laid the groundwork for Mao, Lenin, Hitler. "Rousseau has been called the precursor of the modern pseudo-democrats such as Stalin and Hitler and the "people's democracies." French Revolution - Robespierre, and the Legacy of the Reign of Terror
An educated man, shouldn't Roosevelt have realized which revolutionary view he was endorsing?
2. So, along came President Roosevelt, with the typical progressive blind eye to human slaughter. He ignored the 3-5 million starved to death by the regime of the USSR, and rushed to embrace it, November of 1933.
3. And another "tsk, tsk," by Roosevelt: the Katyn Forest Massacre. In April of 1943, the mass graves of thousands of shot, bayoneted, and asphyxiated Polish officers were uncovered in the Katyn pine forest near Smolensk, Russia.
a. April 13, 1943, Radio Berlin broadcasts the German discovery of twenty-two thousand corpses of Polish officers "executed by the NKVD when the Soviets held the territory, spring of 1940.
4. April 21, 1943, Stalin tells FDR that it was "German fascists" that massacred the helpless Polish officers. But...he fumed that his and FDR's ally, the Polish government in exile has the nerve to ask the International Red Cross to investigate the crime. Did you get that? Stalin was incensed that the Poles wanted the atrocity investigated.
a. The Red Cross said they would investigate....if all three parties- Germany, Poland, and the USSR agreed. Guess who refused.
In fact, Pravda attacked the Poles as "Hitlerite lackeys" who would "go down in history as the helpmates of Cannibal Hitler."
"Sacred Secrets: How Soviet Intelligence Operations Changed American History," by Leona Schecter and Jerrold Schecter, p. 64.
5. And the FDR administration? "No big deal." In fact, the US Office of War Information broadcast exactly what Stalin wanted them to....no questions asked.
a. BTW....in 1990, the Soviets finally admitted that the Katyn Massacre was a Soviet Crime.
Katyn -- 1952 US Congressional findings (???????? 1) ? English ? ?????? ????? ?????? ? ??????
6. So....what did FDR know, and when did he know it? "It wasn't only that all was forgiven by FDR; all was ignored."
Diana West, "American Betrayal," p. 204.
But....isn't it possible that FDR had no choice....after all, wasn't the Soviet Union essential to the war effort?
And, if so.....didn't FDR have to accept Stalin's murder of the Polish intellectual elite???
But what if the essential nature of the USSR is a myth, based on disinformation by Stalin's agents in the Roosevelt administration?? What if knowledgeable experts...like George Kennan, said that the USSR was not an essential part of the war effort?
7. But, in addition to Stalin's agents, weren't there good Americans in the government? Sure were. FDR got rid of the good ones.
"Not only did FDR overlook the external evidence; FDR ignored the counsel of key experts at the State Department, which, at the time, was home...to an educated and experienced cadre of anti-Communists....who would be neutralized and purged....n 1937...the Russian research library at the State Department was broken up, the files on Communists, foreign and domestic, ordered destroyed. The second, in 1943. Both purges of experts who said we would do just fine without Russia took place under Soviet pressure and even direction as when in March 1943 Foreign Minister Litvinov, incredibly, handed over a list of American diplomats the Soviets wanted fired....a "guilt offering to Stalin from Roosevelt"...
West, "American Betrayal," p.193.
a. The reason for the purges? Some advisers had had the gall to suggest not only that the democracies could survive a Nazi conquest of the USSR...but that, in such an event, the United States should not recognize a soviet government in exile. George Kennan echoed those feelings.
Weil, "A Pretty Good Club," p. 106.
Instead, FDR made the United States collaborators in the Katyn Forest Massacre, just as he turned a blind eye to the millions starved to death by his soul-mate, Joe Stalin.
What, and why, Roosevelt's enchantment with the Soviet Union?
