In a December 26, 1955 article in Time magazine,
George Meany of the AFL-CIO warned Americans that
Meany forcefully asserted that
It was unfathomable to Meany that liberals could not perceive that "communism is the deadliest enemy of liberalism."
With great prescience, Meany recognized that "[t]he conflict between Communism and freedom is the problem of our time. It overshadows all other problems. This conflict mirrors our age, its toils, its tensions, its troubles and its tasks. On the outcome of this conflict depends the future of all mankind. I pray that ... we of the free world can muster the moral courage and total strength to preserve peace and promote the freedom of the men and women of every continent, color and creed."
In January of 1956, Meany took aim at the American business community when he explained that "
omehow or other, many in our American business community are not sufficiently alert to the danger of world Communism[.]" Meany urged American business "not to let the prospect of monetary profits blur your vision. Know your enemy. Don't help him."
Yet consider that presently, major American corporations and athletic companies simply cave to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) despite the horrific treatment of Chinese people.
In fact, no matter how many times communism proves to bring nothing but the degradation of people, it still rears its ugly head. As W. Cleon Skousen wrote in 1958 in The Naked Communist,
In his inimitable way, Thomas Sowell has explained that "in a democracy, we have always had to worry about the ignorance of the uneducated. Today we have to worry about the ignorance of people with college degrees."
Americans would be well served to review Communism's 45 goals, which were read into the Congressional Record by Congressman Albert S. Herlong, Jr. (D-Fla.) in 1963.
Merely reviewing a few of the communist goals enumerated by Skousen confirms the incredible success of communist infiltration into America.
- Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
- Get control of the schools and teachers' associations.
- Soften the curriculum.
- Gain control of all student newspapers.
- Infiltrate the press.
- Gain control of key positions in radio, TV and pictures.
- Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them 'censorship' and a violation of free speech and press.
- Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in the media.
- Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with 'social' religion.
- Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate and old-fashioned.
- Discredit the American founding fathers as selfish aristocrats [and racists].
- Belittle American culture and discourage the teaching of American history.
- Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
- Infiltrate and gain control of big business and unions.
- Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as mental health or social problems.
- Discredit the family as an institution.
- Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents.
In his book Reagan's War, Peter Schweizer demonstrates the astonishing degree to which communists and communist sympathizers have penetrated the Democrat party.
Fast-forward and mull over the following:
Joe Biden continually kowtows to the CCP's demands.
In fact, the Democrat party is acting as foot soldiers for the communists. Thus, "Washington State passed SB 5599 which allows the state to legally take children away from their parents if they do not consent to their child's gender transition surgeries. All Democrats voted yes. All Republicans voted no."
Moreover, the teachers' union acts as a shill for the Democrat party. Additionally, the left-wing media are no longer even attempting to be impartial in presenting the news. Schools either do not teach about the astonishing ideas of the American Constitution or indoctrinate students into believing that America is evil to the core. Police are defunded, and the government continues to erase the influence of parents.
No doctrine is more fundamental to communism than hatred of the idea of a supreme creator. From its inception, the Bolsheviks "gleefully arrested priests, defaced icons, and subjected believers to mockery or worse."
In the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, published by the Epoch Times, one learns of the atrocities by the Chinese.
Are we beginning to see the beginning of such persecution under the "viciously anti-Christian Catholic Biden regime"? In fact, "Catholic priests who minister at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center were issued a 'cease and desist order' just before Holy Week."
Anti-Christian hostility under Biden is reaching unprecedented levels.
Moreover,
Consider also that "[t]he number of Chinese migrants illegally crossing into the US during the last three months of 2022 skyrocketed by over 700% compared to the same period a year earlier, data shows."
In essence, "obliterating the American past, with its principles of freedom, liberty and private ownership is a major goal of the communists." If we do not perceive the monstrous and overwhelming actions that communists ceaselessly take, we will truly lose our beautiful country. They clearly leave no stone unturned, nor should we in countering them.
