Surprise? I think not.

Security Risk: Meet Senator Chris Murphy’s long-time Communist Party USA staffer In June 2014 Maxwell Goldman served as a Connecticut delegate to the Communist Party USA National Convention in Chicago. Is it okay for a United States senator serving on the Foreign Relations Committee to employ an aide who is a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA)? What could be the security implications of such a relationship? For several years, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) employed CPUSA member Maxwell Goldman in a variety of positions. Maxwell Goldman started as a field organizer for Murphy’s campaign in April 2012, and continued employment until at least September 2016, when he worked as a senior outreach assistant at the senator’s Hartford, Connecticut office. [After college Goldman worked as a field organizer for Dan Malloy’s campaign for Connecticut governor, followed by a stint with the heavily Communist Party USA-influenced Connecticut SEIU. In June 2014 (while employed by Sen. Murphy) Maxwell Goldman served as a Connecticut delegate to the Communist Party USA National Convention in Chicago.) [...] As a member of the Connecticut branch of the CPUSA, Goldman serves alongside some very well-connected people. Connecticut party chair Joelle Fishman, is chair of the party’s political action committee, which works closely with the Democratic Party. She is also the daughter-in-law of Roosevelt-era Soviet spy ringleader Victor Perlo. Connecticut communist Lisa Bergmann gave a report, on behalf of the Young Communist League to a gathering of the communist-controlled World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFTY), in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2011. WFTY, incidentally, is poised to host a major international communist youth festival in Sochi this coming October – on Vladimir Putin’s personal instructions. FULL

Making "Communism" a nice thing

The Democratic love of socialism was for many years the love that dared not speak its name. No more. Now the party is figuratively jumping on Oprah’s couch shouting its love of socialism. You’d have to plug your ears not to hear it. ... A poll last fall put support for socialism at 44 percent among Millennials, and even more disturbingly, 23 percent of this group agreed that Joseph Stalin is a “hero.” Socialized medicine, i.e., Medicare for all, is the hottest issue on the Left (unless you count hating Trump as an “issue”).

DUCK AND COVER

We’re way beyond media bias. They are all-in. The media is the Hillary Clinton campaign staff. There’s not even a pretense of objectivity. It’s so bad, the New York Times had to write a front-page story last weekend talking about how painful it is for real journalists for the first time in their careers out of a sense of duty to adopt an oppositional stance to a candidate. They’ve never done that before, and since they’ve had to do it with Trump, it also looks like they’re pro-Hillary, and they’re so uncomfortable with this!  (Rush Limbaugh 8/1/2016) Remember WHEN In 1956 when nuclear war between US and USSR was a constant concern, Americans didn’t see it as funny. Been thinking about this for a while.  Khrushchev's threat was pretty much treated like comic opera.  However, we school kids were undergoing "duck and cover" drills, and were not so sure.  But, what if we knew that Khrushchev's CPUSA had infiltrated Hollywood, labor unions (especially West coast longshoreman,) and had heavily infiltrated Roosevelt's government, in no small degree, and dominated  State Department's upper echelon?  And, along with Hollywood, the  CPUSA was heavily represented in the New York Times, and thus American literary culture.  What if we had known then that Richard Nixon was marked as  the left's public enemy number one after defeating communist Rep. Jerry Voohis in 1946? Well, to a high degree we did, or should have known.   Fellow Representative John F. Kennedy quietly donated money to Nixon's campaign against Gahagan Douglas, the two sharing similar views on the threat of communism. Sen Joe McCarthy, for instance, was spot-on when he revealed (and even then) severely underestimated  communist party influence in  our state department.  And then Nixon defeated Red Helen  Gahagan Douglas for the United States Senate ... and then, OMG, there was Alger Hiss. I've long suspected, but can't prove, that Edward R Murrow was the catalyst behind  making CBS News a highly efficient leftist agitprop machine that attacked and ridiculed the likes of Joe McCarthy. His recruits;  Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, et al; still take a lead in producing a false narrative against any who posed a threat to the "Progressive" agenda. What if we knew all that then? Hell, do we even know it now?

It's the communist way

Apparently Bernie Sanders Is Stealing His Neighbor's 'Washington Post' Tommy Mann Act

Click Click

LIMBAUGH: 'SCARY' PROOF U.S. FACING 'MAJOR DIVIDE' IT CAN'T ESCAPE 'It doesn't seem reparable. It doesn't seem like it is possible' In yet another case of Republicans catching blame for the shooting attack, Limbaugh pointed to the case of PBS panelist Mark Shields saying the shooting was a result of Newt Gingrich’s 1990s rhetoric. But First The above video, of Bernie doing an "in your face"180º flip of Pelosi's "We have to pass it to know what's in it"  says it all for me. A testement that his movementarians have no boundaries.  That The Bernies are secure in their estimation that followers will only read or listen to party doctrine, and wouldn't know truth if it bit them in the ass.  Which is surely will.  It's almost a joke; except it's not. LIMBAUGH: 'SCARY' PROOF Now, on Friday I had something in the Stack here that I didn’t get to, and it was a point that I was gonna make. Since this happened, you know, you have a bunch of different people opining. And there are many people who have sprung up in an attempt to be bipartisan and say, “Bernie Sanders is not responsible for this. Don’t go there. We can’t say that Bernie Sanders is responsible. Bernie Sanders didn’t pull the trigger.” I understand that. But, folks, my point with this is not that Bernie Sanders is responsible in the sense that he pulled the trigger. But if you read what this guy has posted on Facebook, if you read his letters to the editor, Hodgkinson, if you listen to sound bites, this guy’s rhetoric, the things that he says are amazingly parallel to what Bernie Sanders has said during his campaign and since. My point is that this guy, Hodgkinson and probably countless others, they are not creating this rhetoric themselves. They’re copycats. They’re copying what they’re hearing and seeing in the media and from their elected candidates. [...] Can you imagine this? If somebody from some conservative organization were caught running around town with a list of names after having shot a Democrat member of Congress, had a list of names of other Democrats, can you imagine? So the argument is out, “We can’t say that the words of others inspire action. We don’t want to go there.” Of course not, ’cause that would then make Hollywood really in a precarious circumstance. But my point is that we pull up short of the guy pulling the trigger. It can’t be denied that Democrat rhetoric is in fact creating mentally unstable people out there on their side. These are true believers, and they’re subject to it, they soak it up. They seek it out wherever they can find it. When they end up speaking publicly, they regurgitate whatever they’ve heard from their favorite comedians or their favorite politicians or their favorite media pundits. It’s amazing how close it is. It’s almost like plagiarism. So it’s undeniable that there is impact. When the effort to enrage people and make them upset — by the way, I said last week, the New York Times raked me over the coals in the Sunday magazine for this. But you can find tweets from Democrats, elected Democrats, who reference exactly the kind of thing that Hodgkinson did. You can find elected Democrats who have tweeted out, “Republicans should be lined up and shot.” No less than Tim Kaine has said something like that. I don’t care what they want to try to pin on, for example, Sarah Palin, that never happened. If that happens on the right, if somebody on the right had ever said somebody needs to be stood up and shot, can you imagine what the left would do with this? Can you imagine this? If somebody from some conservative organization were caught running around town with a list of names after having shot a Democrat member of Congress, had a list of names of other Democrats, can you imagine? That news wouldn’t be buried underneath some terror attack in London. It would be all that we are hearing about. I have to laugh when I listen to these leftists try to blame Newt Gingrich for this. Mark Shields on The NewsHour on Friday afternoon, that session he does with David Brooks, blaming this on Newt Gingrich, blaming this atmosphere on Newt Gingrich, as though the incivility only began when the Republicans took control of the House for the first time in 40 years. So the bottom line, it is clear that we have a divide, a major divide in America that does not seem surmountable. It does not seem reparable. It does not seem like it is possible or even likely to find any common ground, when many Americans think that their number one enemy is the other political party, which is a fact on the left. Scary times. And this impeachment talk and all of this investigation of Trump, it’s all part of that mix. I understand the administration’s afraid to use the word. They don’t go to out and start talking impeachment, even blowing it away and nuking it, defending it, because then you get the word out there. But I don’t think they need to be afraid of it. There’s nothing that Trump has done or even dreamed of doing that’s impeachable. All of this is manufactured. And it needs to be beaten back. But the Republicans so far seem to be standing by idly. Bernie Sanders is for all practical ....  a communist  threat of  Vladimir Lenin proportion.

Just a reminder

Socialists in Congress with Ties to Communist Party USA

What Castro taught me ....

What Fidel Castro Taught Me About the Radical Left ".... it’s long been easier to get tenure liking Castro than loving Jesus." I didn’t realize how many Americans actually hate their own country until I talked about Fidel Castro at Harvard Law School. I had no idea how many Americans despise democracy and have no problem with tyranny – so long as they’re in charge – until I talked about Castro in Manhattan. And I had no clue how many Americans believed that sins committed in the name of socialism weren’t sins at all until I talked about Castro in Ithaca, New York. Indeed, these early conversations about Castro – and his mass murdering friend, Che Guevara – helped teach my younger self that there was indeed a difference between “liberals” and the radical Left. Liberals are people a lot like me. We broadly share many of the same goals, including a shared interest in greater American prosperity and power. We love this country. During the Cold War, we shared opposition to the Soviet Union. Our policy disagreements are important, but we still share a common bond. There was no political bond with the radicals I met in law school. They liked Castro because he was a communist. They loved him for his opposition to American power. They were completely indifferent to the suffering he inflicted on dissidents. These people, after all, were likely American spies and dupes, to be treated with all the contempt they deserved. Radicals exist in every political movement. What troubled me about the people I talked to in Cambridge and New York wasn’t their existence but rather their power. Ivy League professors can dominate their disciplines. Young Harvard radicals often move on to jobs at the pinnacles of American culture and politics. It’s hard to call someone fringe – or to dismiss their views as inconsequential – when they occupy the most coveted positions in the American academy. Indeed, their views were often more welcome than those of orthodox Christians. People like me were narrow-minded and bigoted. My socialist classmates, by contrast, were exactly the “critical thinkers” many of my professors liked to engage. [CONT] In the 60's, the Maryland legislature threatened the University of Maryland with financial penalties if the school went ahead with plans to fete communist radical Angela Davis.  She was immediately disinvited.  Ahem. By the 1970's, sufficient numbers of anti-Vietnam radicals were tenured, so she was reinvited.  The Md legislature were silent. Things have gone way south since. So there's that.

Hey, they've been a communist party for years

Marxist/Muslim Axis: ‘Enemies Within’ Documentary Exposes DNC Chair Keith Ellison Trevor Loudon’s The Enemies Within poses a simple question – “Could your Congressman pass an FBI background check?” With close ties to both the Communist Party USA and several Muslim Brotherhood front groups, Trevor Loudon believes that Congressman Ellison would have no chance of passing even the most the rudimentary type of background check, applied to the most low-level federal government employees. Yet within days, Representative Ellison may lead one of this country’s two main political parties. For further information contact Trevor Loudon, 772-267-8189, or trevor@enemieswithinmovie.com. * Keith Ellison, a Marxist/Muslim Democratic Congressman from Minnesota, could soon become the Democratic National Committee chairman. With the endorsements of Senators Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders and more than 250,000 signatures on an “Ellison for chairman” petition, Representative Ellison is the early favorite for the position. Many writers have focused on Ellison’s Islamic beliefs, but few have examined his extensive Marxist connections. *Just guessing, but I bet this Google demurrer will be used as an imprimatur by websites who will now refuse to post "fake news."

YAWN

Hey There!

Those participating included the Democratic Socialists of ...

Trump Seen As Vehicle To Destroy GOP “This party must be destroyed,” Tarpley said, referring to the Republicans. Those participating included the Democratic Socialists of America (which supported Barack Obama and now Bernie Sanders), the Southern Poverty Law Center, representatives of the governments of Cuba and Venezuela, the “Exonerate Ethel Rosenberg” campaign, CodePink, the Palestine Solidarity Committee, the Workers World Party, the Trans Queer Liberation Movement, and the Greek Communist Party. While showing an image of Donald Trump as a wrecking ball, veteran leftist operative Webster Tarpley told the recent Left Forum in New York City, “If we play this right, he can destroy the Republican Party.” The comments, delivered at the major left-wing gathering of the year, reflect the belief among “progressive” activists that the Donald J. Trump candidacy can be used to destroy the Republican Party and usher in a major period of Democratic Party rule, under the increasing influence of an openly socialist faction. “This party must be destroyed,” Tarpley said, referring to the Republicans. Tarpley’s analysis of the political scene takes on additional significance as we see evidence of communists and Mexican nationals protesting outside Trump rallies and assaulting Trump However, left unsaid in his presentation is whether after Mrs. Clinton is presumably done with her first term as president, she could be challenged for another term by the Sanders wing of the party, possibly represented at that time by Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). supporters. Tarpley’s audience was the Left Forum, which is described as “the largest annual conference of a broad spectrum of left and progressive intellectuals, activists, academics, organizations and the interested public.” The theme for this year’s event was “Rage, Rebellion, Revolution: Organizing Our Power.” Those participating included the Democratic Socialists of America (which supported Barack Obama and now Bernie Sanders), the Southern Poverty Law Center, representatives of the governments of Cuba and Venezuela, the “Exonerate Ethel Rosenberg” campaign, CodePink, the Palestine Solidarity Committee, the Workers World Party, the Trans Queer Liberation Movement, and the Greek Communist Party. A former operative in the movement led by Lyndon H. LaRouche, an aging Marxist ideologue who served time in prison on fraud charges, Tarpley is viewed by the left as an expert on the class struggle that defines the evolution of the American political system. He has been a prominent figure in the so-called 9/11 Truth Movement, which blames unnamed U.S. officials for carrying out the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. He is today associated with the Tax Wall Street Party, a group backing the Sanders proposal to raise taxes on financial transactions in order to finance a socialist super state. Drawing on historical sources and stories about turmoil in the Trump campaign and the GOP, Tarpley predicted that Trump’s candidacy will divide the Republicans and result in one of its factions merely surviving as a regional party based in the Deep South, rural areas, and the intermountain West. However, he said the party itself has become so dependent on “aging white men,” a shrinking percentage of the electorate, that it may be “demographically doomed” in the long term. .......... With the Republican Party out of the way, the activists making up the Left Forum would be able to consolidate their power in the Democratic Party and move it even further to the left, in terms of more socialism at home and more accommodation of “anti-imperialist” and “anti-capitalist” forces abroad. [Full "Trump Seen As Vehicle To Destroy GOP"] The GOP is not going to be destroyed.  Larry Kudlow expresses what we all hope will happen however; "Overthrow the 'Establishment' to Fix the Economy."  To give Obama and the Democrats their due; eight years ago Barry jumped through hoops, trying to deny his ties with leftist radicals like Bill Ayers and rats under the rug like Frank Marshall Davis.  Now they have no trouble walking in the daylight. With luck, Trump can bring in a new congress that will renew the House Un-American Activities Committee.  I mean this in the good way.

No (again), Bernie Sanders,

No, Bernie Sanders, Scandinavia is not a socialist utopia

That 1976 story in Time, for example, went on to report that Sweden found itself struggling with crime, drug addiction, welfare dependency, and a plague of red tape. Successful Swedes —most famously, Ingmar Bergman — were fleeing the country to avoid its killing taxes. “Growing numbers are plagued by a persistent, gnawing question: Is their Utopia going sour?” [...] For example, Sweden was a poor nation for most of the 19th century (which helps explain the great wave of Swedish emigration to the United States in the 1800s). That began to change as Stockholm, starting around 1870, turned to free-enterprise reforms. Robust capitalism replaced the formerly agrarian system, and Sweden grew rich. “Property rights, free markets, and the rule of law combined with large numbers of well-educated engineers and entrepreneurs,” Sanandaji writes. The result was an environment in which Swedes experienced “an unprecedented period of sustained and rapid economic development.” In fact, between 1870 and 1936, Sweden had the highest growth rate in the industrialized world. Scandinavia’s hard-left turn didn’t come about until much later. It was in the late 1960s and early 1970s that taxes soared, welfare payments expanded, and entrepreneurship was discouraged. [Full] Not that it will matter to Bernie People. Because Bernie People do not read Jeff Jacoby. Nor anyone outside of acceptable left media. But, you knew that. Crap.  I just wasted all this time and ink for naught. ASIDE: Based entirely on this TOP GEAR episode, if I were to live in any of those top of the map countries, it would be Finland.

Ralph Cramden and Mr. Trump

Via cuzzin Ricky.  I would wager however that if the Cramden's had Trump to choose over any of today's "Democrats," he would win in a landslide.

KGB CONNECTIONS

a major award

The KGB Connections: An Investigation Into Soviet Operations in North America 2:10:54 Published on Dec 9, 2012 This documentary focuses on Soviet espionage in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean - by KGB officers operating as businessmen, diplomats, and officials of the United Nations. It shows the use of propaganda and disinformation to distort America's perception of reality. Also shown is the use of blackmail, bribery, sabotage, and assassination to accomplish Soviet objectives within larger nations. Included is the testimony of twenty defectors, some speaking with disguises to conceal their identity because they are still hiding from their pasts and fearful of the KGB's revenge.
