When you analyze what came out of the Yalta conference you have to get past the propaganda that passed for news back then in the U.S. and consider the political climate. There was a standing joke that there were more soviet agents in the FDR administration (the DNC?) than the freaking Kremlin. With the help of the fawning liberal media, the democrat party was able to fire a sitting Vice President while he was on vacation and run a no-nothing former clothing store owner with no college education for V.P. and a virtual corpse for a 4th term when they knew he wouldn't live more than a few months after being elected. You could almost call it the slickest attempted political coup in American history and Americans weren't even aware of it because the media was part of it.
And it continues to this very day.
Hey PC, check this out from DiLorenzo's column...
Franklin D. Roosevelt even proposed effectively abolishing the states altogether as political entities as a means of eliminating all opposition to his grandiose, socialistic plans for America. As described by Frank Chodorov in The Income Tax: Root of All Evil (page 82):
“Early in the socialistic New Deal, its leaders recognized in the division authority between state and federal governments a difficult impediment to their plans. They set their minds on overcoming it. They went so far as to draw up a blueprint for an arrangement that would circumvent, if not obliterate, the troublesome state lines. In 1940, Mr. Roosevelt’s National Resources Committee, in a report called Regional Factors in National Planning, proposed that the nation be divided into a dozen regional areas, as a basis for the coordination of federal administrative services. . . . the committee insisted that so long as the ‘division of constitutional powers [i.e., states’ rights] remained,’ the government is handicapped in handling ‘national problems.’”
To the “collectivists,” wrote Chodorov, “ the separate states must be wiped out or reduced to parish status.” This was eventually accomplished not through the abolition of the states but “by bribery of state officials” with federal grants to the states and threats of withdrawing them.
The “real obstacle” to socialistic central planning, wrote Chodorov, “is the psychological resistance to centralization that the States’ Rights tradition fosters. The citizen of divided allegiance cannot be reduced to subservience.” Furthermore, “when government has a monopoly of power the people have no freedom.”
I have studied the horrendous career of Stalin's Stooge extensively, as have you, but I did not know that he actually planned to eliminate the states. Just when I thought FDR couldn't be any worse, I realize he can.
Thomas James DiLorenzo grew up in western
Pennsylvania, descended from Italian immigrants. In an autobiographical essay he attributes his early commitment to individualism to "playing competitive sports." His view of politicians in the small western cities of the state was that they were in it for personal aggrandizement.
[9] He thought his family and neighbors worked hard and perceived other people getting advantages from the government. As a youth in the 1960s, he began to think that the "government was busy destroying the work ethic, the family, and the criminal justice system."
[9] Although too young to worry about the Vietnam War draft, he concluded that other young men turned themselves inside out to avoid it, or came back silenced by what they had done and seen. These conclusions led him to the opinion that politics were “evil”.

Ah yes, the same man that thinks Lincoln was an evil tyrant also....And loves the Austrian school of economic model, which is evil according to him also..A PHD in economics, yet he claims to be a historian academic...Must have majored in the wrong field of expertise...
