Poignantly stated.

Nothing to add except I’m eternally grateful for my father (democrat at the time), saw through the communist indoctrination at the high school level with my older brother by one of his professors Dr. Headess, mandating the class must accept the Communist Manifesto. My dad (thankfully) yanked my brother out of the Catholic private school, Chaminade when my brother came home expounding on the attributes of communism.

This one is hardest to swallow:

Abe Lincoln & his entire Whig (monarchist) party flooded into the Republican party newly formed in Ripon Wisconsin in 1848 by Communists.

Lincoln admired and corresponded with Marx. Most don't know this. He also hired Marxist German Generals from the failed 1848 revolutions after they were expelled from Germany.

They fought with the Union Army.

The enemy has been within the gates since the 1930’s. The marxist brain cancer has been slowly metastasizing and spreading within the American body politic ever since.

The long march through the institutions began with the universities. Then the media. Then the public schools imposing ignorance and propaganda. Now the churches. The public school project has reached critical mass, especially in places such as New York and Chicago, where there are few people left who can think rationally.

Yes, Frankfurt School scumbucket ideological subversion. Tho COMINTERN had already infiltrated the teacher’s unions in the 1930’s.

In the christian Church for quite a while.

Good book on this:

"Communist Infiltration of American Churches 1887 - 2012" by Christine Meinsen

Another tangential to this is:

"The Cost of our Silence: Consequences of Christians Taking the Path of Least Resistance" by David Fiorazo

With no end in sight !

The Anarchist Bombings starting in 1919 was another sign.... as well as the Progressive movement pushed by Teddy Roosevelt in about 1905 and championed by Wilson in the 1912-1916 time frame. Which was of course just an extension of the Fabian Socialist movement from England in the 1880s. In fact Wilson as president of a University called for the abolition of the Constitution ala a RE-Written/NEW Constitution based on more central gov't power.....'positive powers' versus the negative ( limited powers) the Founders gave us. Obammy talked of revising the constitution also... if you remember.

Thanks for the piece. It made me research Roy Cohn (remember the infamous suitcase incident?) of whom I had a negative view based on the usual TDS character assassination and it was an eye opener. Heck, I even would have probably agreed with him on many points.

Allison Guerriero's avatar

Read “The Autobiography of Roy Cohn” by Sidney Zion. It’s a great book and sheds a lot of light onto how incredibly intelligent and tough he was.

Sidney Zion? The guy who destroyed medical training? No, I will pass

Don Ameeche's avatar

How so? How did he destroy medical training? I agree it ain't what it used to be. But what was Zion's imput ?

Allison Guerriero's avatar

Well the guy’s kid died due to under supervision of hospital staff and residents. Cut him some slack. He was devastated by that loss and I agree with him about her death.

working rich's avatar

Even if the chief of medicine had been there, she would have died. She did not level with her doctors. She was on drugs, which she did not admit to taking

Don Ameeche's avatar

Don't know much about it... thanks.

Nice overview and reminder. Thanks for this historic summation.

Thank you

Of course McCarthy was correct. That is why they vilify him so much.

Madman in NYC? A failure of democracy. People do not vote. Easy to capture a primary and run to victory. But what were the choices in NYC? Cuomo and Sliwa, with the ELFs voting for the smiling Madman!

How many people voted ?

Richard Luthmann's avatar

McCarthy was right about the danger, and the danger never left. It changed vocabulary. Class struggle became equity. Revolution became social justice. Centralized control became compassion. Anti-Americanism became critique. Hostility to faith, family, free enterprise, and constitutional liberty became “progress.” Now DSA candidates win primaries, Red-Green coalitions capture cities, and bureaucracies enforce ideological conformity while pretending it is expertise. The answer is not nostalgia for 1950s tactics. It is modern vigilance: expose networks, follow money, defend speech, protect churches, restore civic education, secure elections, and say plainly that communism is evil, no matter what costume it wears.

Allison Guerriero's avatar

Precisely!! They’re sneaky and clever but evil!

Don Ameeche's avatar

Changed vocabulary... good way to put it !

Great essay, Roger. If you get a chance, read mine.

I’m so glad you posted this! Great article! I hope it wakes some people up to what is a very serious threat to our nation! I have said several times that America owes Sen. McCarthy a huge apology!

JamesHoward's avatar

Abe Linvoln was a Monarchist. His Whig party was Monarchist.

He & his entire Whig party flooded into the Republican party newky formed in 1848 in Ripon Wisconsin by Communists.

Lydia Lozano's avatar

And Alger Hiss WAS a spy. I have long suspected McCarthy was "taken care of."

Charles D Dennis's avatar

I'm glad a public figure such as yourself has said this. I've said it and told others McCarthy was right except for his drinking. Most people don't know who McCarthy was and the characterization of him in the Manchurian Candidate did not help.

Great reminder of the enemy within. We must remember that they will use any group to cause chaos and division. The Muslims are both a tool of replacement population and satanic cult meant to destroy our Christian Western culture. They are siphoning off money, making open threats and infiltrating our government. They are trying to destroy our institutions and influence in the world. They are useful tools to Communists now, but they will be eliminated by the Communists eventually. China has destroyed their mosques and won't allow their practice. I always thought since 9/11 that the Communists would let the problematic countries in the Middle East to beat us up first and then step in the take over.

Don Ameeche's avatar

Great article ! **The Red ( Commie) .. Green ( Islam/muslim) alliance** is part of the current incarnation and threat to America. As are those who are pushing it in BOTH parties.... ie Tucker and his "friends" etc. pushing it in the Republican Party.

There are a couple of Great books which highlight the communist threat fought by McCarthy :

"Blacklisted by History : The Untold Story of Senator Joseph McCarthy and his fight against America's enemies" By M. Stanton Evans.

" Stalin's Secret Agents : The Subversion of Roosevelt's Government" By M Stanton Evans and Herbert Romerstein

" American Betrayal : The Secret Assault on Our Nation's Character" by Diana West

Allison Guerriero's avatar

I’m almost finished with American Betrayal now. It’s excellent! I have read the other two. Try “Witness” by Whittaker Chambers and also “The Verona Secrets” by Herbert Romerstein and Eric Breindel is great too!

Don Ameeche's avatar

Thanks Allison .... I know them well... :- ))

One of the few times I would disagree with my esteemed friend. Yes, there were commies in the government--russia was our world war ii ally. I just did a piece talking about who created Marx and who is the new Saint admired by the DSA-Gramsci. Both were creations of London. Both were aimed at the American System of political economy which neither McCarthy or Roy Cohn understood. You may know that Roy Cohn got himself deployed somehow to come after the man you and I share great admiration for--So, also a little different perspective there.

Don Ameeche's avatar

You are completely wrong about who " created" Marx and Gramsci. Marx was created by the same German intellectuals and aristocracy that created the Bavarian Illuminati and Adam Weishaupt going back to 1774. He was also an extension of the Hegelian school which was strong from about 1830 ( even importing a chapter to Yale in the 1830s). Marx was EJECTED from Germany...especially after the failed 1848 revolutions.

Gramsci was part of the established Socialist Internationale in Italy going back to the 1880s..... so was Gentile the "founder" of National Socialist Fascism in Italy. Gramsci's notion of addressing the failed Communist uprisings in the Industrial West was to specifically focus on the Long March through the institutions ( Church, Schools, Gov't, Industry etc) ..... this was picked up by the Frankfurt School and expoerted to the USA via Columbia, Cornell and later Harvard.

Barbara Boyd's avatar

agree with the latter part of your response here. Understand totally what you're saying in terms of Hegel and Germany. BUT and ITS a big BUT, Engels and the British side of this --his attachment to his British financiers, is huge. Highly recommend Richard Poe, thoroughly researched book, How Brits Created Communism and Blamed the Jews

Don Ameeche's avatar

Also with respect to your last sentence. Marx was already " Blaming the Jews " while in Germany. As early as 1842/43 he published ( with Engels in the wings so to speak) a treatise on the " Problem with the Jews". Attributing Capitalism and 'it's discontents' ( to borrow a well known phrase) as endemic to Judaism's very structure and cultural identity.

Marx and Engels ..... the Original secular antiJew - Jews. Again.... Inception in Germany.

Don Ameeche's avatar

Engels was the son of wealthy "industrialists /financiers" in Germany also with connections to the Bavarian Banking and Aristocracy mentioned. It was he and his connections who afforded Marx his first "opportunities" within Germany. The Banking community even then had vast interconnecting webs so yes British Banking and German banking were somewhat interconnected ( even aside from the connections between English and German aristocratic families and the various Rothshield houses).

But ...the Communists were not created in England. More of an argument can and should be made for France as well as Germany. The afore mentioned Adam Weishaupt in the 1770s and the ensuing interventions of the Jacobins... First in our country ( Washington mentions them ) trying to influence the outcome of our Revolution... then again in the 1790s trying to foment in our Eastern cities and whisper in the ears of the writers of the Constitution and later Bill of Rights. Second in their more successful altering of the outcome of the French Revolution. Later in their influence in the German Universities.

There is the Socialist tendencies of Robert Owen, The Utilitarians, and some of the "Commune"-like non-Christian communities started win England in the late 1790s and the Early to mid-1800s. So there was a seed-bed if you will, one that led to the more obvious Fabian Socialists. They were ,however, a PART of the growing Socialist movement alive and well all over Europe by that time.

But the "creation" of Communism was not located in England. It IS TRUE that after the third wave of political Socialism gained steam, the British, German and United States 'establishment' did foment ( and fund) the various Russian leaders of the movement. And, at a strategic moment, sent them to Russia from Berlin, London and New York. And THEY were funded by the larger Banking houses in those Cities. Books by Anthony C Sutton shed a lot of light on this aspect. There are others also.

Barbara Boyd's avatar

take a gander at richard poe's book. I think it will shake your perspective as it did mine I have read Marx on the Jewish Question. It's not what I'm talking about. Poe's book gets into how the British deployed Marxism, particularly Lenin with the idea of crushing Russia permanently a little different than the classic history of Karl Marx.

Don Ameeche's avatar

Right.... Lenin. As in my last paragraph. Sutton is great on all this. But Lenin was a LOONG way from the Marx...let alone the Creation of Communism.

But yes Lenin, Trotsky et al were partially instruments of the Banking cartels from New York, City of London and Berlin ( via Bavaria). Without Western help there would have been no October 1917.

JamesHoward's avatar

Barbara Boyd:

By 'London' are you referring to 'City of London'?

The central plank of Marx's Communist Manifesto, plank 5, is the debt fiat central crony capitalist monopoly bank, like the Bank of England & US Federal Reserve. Plank 5 is Central to Communist (top elites) control.

Barbara Boyd's avatar

yes, the infamous square mile itself.
