My Hunt for Bernie’s Grandfather
A cautionary tale of socialism and research.
April 25, 2016
Paul Kengor

Reprinted from Spectator.org.

When Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton debated in Brooklyn last week, they did so not far from Bernie’s childhood home and from some disturbing socialist-communist trails. Exploring those paths led me on a chase toward a character named Benjamin Glassberg — more than one Benjamin Glassberg, it turned out. Benjamin Glassberg of Brooklyn was the name of Bernie’s grandfather and also of a serious socialist-communist agitator. It became my task to ascertain if the two Benjamin Glassbergs were one and the same. The hunt absorbed far too much of my time. Do I not have other things to do? Yes, but the subject nonetheless remains of relevance to America’s apparent new favorite socialist.

At one point in the hunt, I was confident that the two Benjamin Glassbergs were the same, but I wasn’t 100% certain. Now, I’m largely confident that they were not. I want to here share what I found, especially for other researchers who start down this trail that Bernie Sanders has kept mysteriously and suspiciously blank, thus prompting my search to begin with. Without my reporting what I’ve found, I’m sure others would leap to my earlier thinking that the two Benjamin Glassbergs were the same man.

First, we must start this examination acknowledging that Bernie Sanders’ far-left past is a disturbing one, from his adventures in what Ron Radosh describes as a “Stalinist Kibbutz,” to his ardor for Fidel Castro’s Cuba and Daniel Ortega’s Nicaraguan Sandinistas, to his honeymoon in that erstwhile romantic paradise, the USSR.

Bernie Sanders is Playing the Left Like a Fiddle
April 27, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

1. The origins of the Bernie Sanders campaign actually began as a stealth campaign to get Elizabeth Warren to run. Warren did not run. Bernie Sanders was the leftover meatloaf that the left had to settle for after Warren proved too cowardly to take on Hillary Clinton.

2. At no point in time did Elizabeth Warren ever endorse Bernie Sanders. Including when he desperately needed her to in Massachusetts. But with a complete lack of dignity, Bernie Sanders is trying to keep his campaign alive by teasing his fanatical left-wing supporters with Elizabeth Warren.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders alluded to possible vice presidential picks Tuesday, even floating liberal darling Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as a potential running mate.

Bernie Sanders Wants to Legalize Weed, Ban Cigarettes
April 27, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

any of the positions that the left takes are not based on a comprehensively reasoned set of values, but on class attitudes and assorted forms of identity tribalism. So smoking cigarettes is evil, but smoking pot is great. These attitudes are not rational. They're cultural at best. And the Bernie Sanders campaign is riding these irrational class attitudes like a Whole Foods ad.

Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday that he is not sure cigarettes should remain legal.

"Cigarettes are causing cancer, obviously, and a dozen other diseases," Sanders said on "Meet the Press." "And there is almost the question as to why it remains a legal product in this country."

This comes from the same guy who wants to legalize pot. But who says totalitarian lefties have to be remotely consistent when persecuting people?

...

But Bernie supporters are more likely to smoke pot than cigarettes. So legalize weed, ban cigarettes. This is how the left makes its decisions. Ban the stuff we don't like. Legalize the things we do like.

Alas, he's reduced himself to Hillary and Debbie Wasserman's suckhole with a following of entitlement freeloaders looking to be cleansed of their personal responsibilities.

This Is Bernie Sanders
A disturbing look at the socialist senator's radical agendas, which are now mainstream in the Democratic Party.
January 7, 2016
Discover The Networks

Throughout his presidential campaign, Bernie Sanders has been Hillary Clinton's strongest rival, by far, for the Democratic nomination. Huge numbers of people are very excited about this 74-year-old Senator from Vermont. His campaign rallies have drawn massive crowds, sometimes in the vicinity of 30,000 attendees. The Washington Post and Bill Maher, among many others, have noted Sanders' “rock-star” appeal. And a recent poll of 75,000 voters in all 50 states found that Sanders had a higher approval rating (83%) among his constituents, than any other U.S. Senator. In short, Bernie Sanders is no fringe Democrat. Thus it is imperative for all Americans—whether they support him or not—to clearly understand who Sanders is, what he believes, and what he wants to make America look like.

When Sanders was a young man, he joined the Young People's Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. In 1963 he was an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, whose leadership subsequently grew increasingly militant, eventually culminating in the racist excesses of Stokely Carmichael, who exhorted blacks to “fill ourselves with hate for all things white,” and H. Rap Brown, who urged blacks to “wage guerrilla war on the honkie white man.” Sanders also worked briefly for the communist-led United Packinghouse Workers Union, and participated in a California hospital project organized by the American Friends Service Committee, an organization that unambiguously supported the Soviet cause while opposing America throughout the Cold War.

In 1971 Sanders joined the anti-war Liberty Union Party (LUP), on whose ticket he made unsuccessful runs for the U.S. Senate in 1972 and 1974, and for Governor of Vermont in 1976. Sanders's LUP platform called for the nationalization of all U.S. banks, public ownership of all utilities, and the establishment of a worker-controlled federal government.

Around 1976, Sanders left LUP and spent about two years as an amateur historian and film-maker, selling educational film strips to schools in New England. “His main project,” says the British newspaper The Guardian, “was a short documentary about his hero, Eugene Debs, an early 20th-century union leader who was a six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist party.”

From 1979-89 Sanders served as mayor of Burlington, Vermont. At one point during his tenure, he sparked controversy when he hung a Soviet flag in his mayoral office, in honor of Burlington's Soviet sister city, Yaroslavl.

According to an Accuracy In Media report, Sanders during the 1980s “collaborated with Soviet and East German 'peace committees'” whose aim was “to stop President Reagan’s deployment of nuclear missiles in Europe.” Indeed, Sanders “openly joined the Soviets’ 'nuclear freeze' campaign to undercut Reagan’s military build-up.”

In 1985 Sanders traveled to Managua, Nicaragua to celebrate the sixth anniversary of the rise to power of Daniel Ortega and his Marxist-Leninist Sandinista government. In a letter which he addressed to the people of Nicaragua, Sanders denounced the anti-Communist activities of the Reagan administration and assured the Nicaraguans that Americans were “fair minded people” who had more to offer “than the bombs and economic sabotage” promoted by Reagan. “In the long run,” Sanders said, “I am certain that you will win, and that your heroic revolution against the Somoza dictatorship will be maintained and strengthened.” Sanders even invited Ortega to visit Burlington, though the Nicaraguan president declined.

By no means was Sanders's trip to Nicaragua his only trek to a Communist country. He also visited Fidel Castro's Cuba in the 1980s and had a friendly meeting with the mayor of Havana. In an August 8, 1985 television interview, Sanders said: “In 1961, [America] invaded Cuba, and everybody was totally convinced that Castro was the worst guy in the world, that all the Cuban people were going to rise up in rebellion against Fidel Castro. They forgot that he educated the kids, gave them health care, totally transformed the society.”

...

Bear in mind, as was noted at the beginning of this article, that Bernie Sanders is by no means an unusual Democrat. His worldviews, agendas, and values are, by and large, the same as those of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and any other leading Democrat you can name. Sanders is simply more candid than the rest in acknowledging—with great pride, in fact—that he is a socialist.

Thus, all that remains on election day is for Americans to decide if they want to live in a country—and raise their children in a country—modeled on the ideals of Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama.


This Is Bernie Sanders

Hilary and Donald followers are all completely dishonest.

The Great Bernie Sanders Scam
A gullible socialist and his money are easily parted.
May 5, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

Last month, Sanders supporters were passing around a photo of Bernie Sanders asleep in coach. Such depictions of their candidate struggling with the same inconveniences as ordinary passengers had boosted his image as a fighter for the average guy. But there was one problem. The photo wasn’t of him. It was instead some ordinary man trying to catch a few winks in the middle of a crowded plane.

Bernie Sanders wasn’t in coach. He wasn’t even in business class or stretching out both legs in first class. With tens of millions of dollars in donations coming in every month, he wasn’t flying commercial.

Not anymore.

Long before that meme, Sanders had already blown through six figures on private jets during the previous year. While he was touting his average $27 donation, those donations were being spent on a lifestyle that was anything but coach. But still while Hillary Clinton insisted on nothing less than a Gulfstream 450, Bernie Sanders was settling for a more modest Gulfstream 200. His Israel-hating supporters might have been more disappointed to learn that Air Sanders was flying around in a plane designed by Israel Aerospace Industries which when it isn’t designing business jets to ferry around senescent Socialists on hopeless campaigns is manufacturing drones to take out Islamic terrorists.

But in April, Bernie Sanders took 50 staffers and reporters on a chartered Delta 767 for a trip to the Vatican where he briefly met Pope Francis and pressed the flesh with notorious left-wing thug Evo Morales, a pal of Iran’s Ahmadinejad, who had been blamed for a rise in anti-Semitism in Ecuador.

Not only wasn’t Bernie flying coach, but he was chartering mostly empty passenger planes on left-wing political jaunts. The menu on board Air Sanders included lobster sliders, crab salad, red lentil soup, herb crusted lamb loin, chocolate ganache, fine cheeses and white wine. It was a long way from coach.

The March disbursement showed $1.6 million going to Air Charter Team. That was Hillary money. But by then it had become quite obvious that Bernie Sanders couldn’t win and that he wasn’t even trying to.

In New York, his campaign did everything possible to alienate Jews, a significant voting group, from constantly bashing Israel to appointing anti-Israel activist Simone Zimmerman to head up Jewish outreach. Instead of courting voters in New York, he took an entire 767 to the Vatican.

But Bernie Sanders wasn’t trying to win. He was fundraising. The more unwinnable his campaign became the further left its candidate went. The Bernie Sanders bubble was a cult. It was no longer even trying to recruit non-supporters, but striving to maintain the enthusiasm of its core left-wing supporters.

The easy answer begins with that Delta 767 and its menu of lobster, crab, white wine and fine cheeses.

But it doesn’t end there.

In April, Bernie Sanders only managed to raise $25.8 million. But in March, he had taken in $46 million. Those average $27 donations had added up to quite a lot. Though March, Sanders had blown through $166 million in campaign cash. And much of that money went into the pockets of major Democratic industry firms that excelled at parting foolish leftists from their money.

Bernie Sanders says he had ample opportunity to attack Hillary Clinton, but that he's focused on the issues instead.

“As you well know, there are many areas that I could have attacked Hillary Clinton on that I have chosen not to attack her on,” the Vermont senator said in an interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell the day after winning the West Virginia primary. “What I have done is run an issue-oriented campaign. That is what the American people want.”

The redistribution of wealth began under Reagan and has not stopped yet. The top ten percent have seen the largest gains while the middle and lower income earners have seen their shares of wealth diminished. Wake the fuck up.

As you know, that is not true.

The average working Americans income has dropped since Lame Duck President Barack Hussein Obama took office and has crippled the economy with his failed policies and draconian regulations.

But we once again have confirmation that Bernie Sanders was at a Kibbutz that had worshiped Stalin and Communism. The Hashomer Hatzair flag was red. It was probably still being flown when Bernie was there.

Bernie Sanders Kibbutz Admired Communism, Flew Red Flag

All of that looks like Imperialistic BS (propaganda), and none of it discredits Sanders in any way, big brother. Being a socialist is not necessarily a bad thing. The Soviet regime was not socially responsible to its citizens, thus the problem.

No, being a socialist IS, necessarily, a bad thing.

Young Lefties Love Bernie Sanders Because He's Lazy and Shiftless Just Like Them
February 29, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

It's no mystery why the Che Youth are flocking to the Bernie Sanders banner. Aside from his leftist politics, he's one of them. Lazy, shiftless and full of big plans that he could accomplish if someone put a lot of money at his disposal.

Hillary Clinton has been accused of being Tracy Flick. Nobody ever accused Bernie Sanders of working too hard. Or of working.

Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment. Then he had a child out of wedlock. Desperate, he tried carpentry but could barely sink a nail

...

Let's summarize.

1. Ragged, unemployable leftist with no useful skills

2. Lazy, shiftless bum in and out of office who is always clamoring for a "political revolution"

3. Blames all his problems on capitalism

4. Completely out of touch with reality

That describes the leftist youth base. Sure Bernie Sanders is old. But he's still a lazy and shiftless bum.

...

Young Lefties Love Bernie Sanders Because He's Lazy and Shiftless Just Like Them

Missing in many of these discussions about socialist Bernie Sanders is that one of his first "jobs" when he was around 40, was writing soft porn about women being raped.

His essay, in the Vermont Freeman, begins this way:

A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A woman on her knees. A woman tied up. A woman abused.

A woman enjoys intercourse with her man—as she fantasizes about being raped by 3 men simultaneously.
