Thank you for the video - very chilling. My parents fled Czechoslovakia with the shirts on their backs after losing their freedom just after WWII. My extended family stayed behind, and I saw how they lived and the limitations on their freedom. Neighbors spied on neighbors, people lived in fear, and beatings, imprisonment and outright disappearance were nothing unusual. My entrepreneurial grandfather lost his home, his business, all his savings, and was sent to dig ditches in his 60's. My uncle was sent to the uranium mines, and my cousins were barred from education beyond the 9th grade. I'm very aware of the dangers and have been seeing the infiltration of leftist thinking and actions in our institutions of government, business and education for many years.

I fight gloom and doom sometimes, but I'm also hopeful. We have a lot of freedom-loving young adults, especially among our military and veterans. They aren't heard from much but they're among us and strong. We have the internet and talk radio, which were not a factor when this video was made. Putin is certainly up to no good, but the old Soviet Union isn't what it once was, and even China shows cracks in its control.

I sometimes despair over the indoctrination of the young in the educational system, but then I look at my sons and their friends and brighten up. Yes they are getting a biased view, but there are a lot of bright ones among them who see the bias. It is the nature of young people to think they know better than their parents' generation and to rebel. In the same way that the boomers rebelled in such large numbers against the conservative, patriotic values of their parents, this generation has the potential to rebel against the values of the 1960's leftists. My younger son's school recently re-named the color coded teams of 8th graders, and one of them is the "Hippie Sixties". The staff might have thought it "cool", but the kids thought it was dated and dumb. They don't glorify the 1960's. When the teachers push global warming, many of the youngsters go along with it for the test, but I hear them outside the classroom, and they're not buying it. They live with political correctness, and many of them go along only to get along, but they see the flaws. I'm convinced that there are many young people who are seeking stability, reason, and conservative values. They're just under the radar, like many adults.

I'm encouraged by the developments of this week. We have to stand firm, encourage one another, and keep pulling back the curtain on those trying to pull the strings.

To: Think free or die

Awesome post, thanks for writing it.

I’ve known some people who have come from Russia and told me stories, this is going back some years too, and they are VERY conservative. The one couple I knew LAUGHED at the media, they said it was the SAME AS RUSSIA and hated the democrats!!

Another friend I knew told me one day they took everything from his family, just cleaned them out. He also told me when he was at the train station to leave, he had a very expensive coat, they took that too. These people were both very successful here.

We need immigrants from these countries, they are conservative and APPRECIATE America. Immigration laws INTENTIONALLY bring people here who HATE our country, and limit people who love it. It’s sick but it’s true.

Stay positive, slowly but surely we are going to crush all of these leftists.
