1934 Editorial Cartoon - SCARY

1934 Chicago Tribune

[jcsjcm]

IS THIS SCARY??? Cartoon from 1934

This cartoon was in the Chicago Tribune in 1934. Look carefully at the plan of action in the lower left corner.

"Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it."

Does any of this look familiar????? Just wow!

[RedCell]

This one’s been kicking around for years. And agreed - it is VERY scary. Definitely worth posting every once in a while.

Gives new meaning to the phrase “Been there done that”

[jcsjcm]

This is the first time I have seen this and it really blew me away!

I agree it should be posted now and again to remind or even show people what Chicago really is about. I’m still shaking my head and I know I shouldn’t be, but I’m speechless!

I guess we all just keep on learning and it isn’t pretty!

[bmwcyle]

You are real late on this one. We have seen it about 10 times.

[Plutarch]

Thanks for posting this again. It is amazing.

[21twelve]

Here’s an old FR thread with an even older booklet written in 1938. Called “The Revolution Was”, by Garret Garrett, a conservative writer back in the day.

Just like your cartoon (well, much longer!), EVERYTHING that Garret describes about FDR can be said about Obama. It is not that unbelievable when one figures that to a marxist like Obama, FDR had the correct, and highly succesful, model to follow. He just didn’t go far enough.

Read “The Forgotten Man” by Amity Shlaes to get the whole historical background on the cartoon chapter and verse.

[sionnsar]

Second time I’ve seen it. Thanks for posting — this time I saved a copy.

[21twelve]

I could highlight every single paragraph from that booklet as an example of what is going on today. Here’s one:

“Until it was too late few understood one like Julius C. Smith, of the American Bar Association, saying: “Is there any labor leader, any businessman, any lawyer or any other citizen of America so blind that he cannot see that this country is drifting at an accelerated pace into administrative absolutism similar to that which prevailed in the governments of antiquity, the governments of the Middle Ages, and in the great totalitarian governments of today? Make no mistake about it.

Even as Mussolini and Hitler rose to absolute power under the forms of law... so may administrative absolutism be fastened upon this country within the Constitution and within the forms of law.”

[I still care]

I’ve never seen it. Thank you for posting.

[rottndog]

If I were a cartoonist, I would draw a modern version with the appropriate suspects, and juxtapose the 2 cartoons with the title ‘Times have changed, but Communism’s methods and goals have not’.

[KSCITYBOY]

[La Lydia]

The fact that it ran in the Chicago Tribune is doubly ironic. I guess that is when they realized they needed to take over the media.

[izzatzo]

Same old, same old-note some of the names(Ickes) are the same, although the younger Ickes is not in Obama’s group of red thugs, he was in Clinton’s and is still hanging around ready to become one of the ruling elite.

[TPOOH]

If you understand this the cartoon makes sense.

Senate investigation of Tax-excempt foundations

[coydog]

I AM a cartoonist, and believe me, I’m thinking about it.

[jcsjcm]

I do understand that and have read up on this. That was something my father has harped on me for a very, very long time!

Thank you to all that sent me to other links and gave me extra reading materials. I do miss some of this information and appreciate the heads up!

[samtheman]

Excellent find. Thanks for posting it.

If you do it, and decide to post it, please ping me. I should like to see it. :)

[rottndog]

You mean you’re planning it out?

[Bringbackthedraft]

Hmmmmm? Harvard mentioned again.

[coydog]

I’m thinking, like a tour bus full of “intellectual” types, celebrities, the MSM, the usual gang of idiots - all driving over a cliff, each adding their own little part.

[abovethefray]

[rottndog]

...and standing next to Stalin, you can have Mao, Soros, and of course, Obama...

[Palladin]

What is past is prologue.

[Lockbar]

I never saw it either. Thanks for posting again.

[B.O. Plenty]

Americans indeed are a long-suffering and apparently infested with deep restraint.

[Drango]

Nostradamus bump!

[frog in a pot]

“Same old, same old...”

Yeah, we are in the 2d and 3rd family generations of many of today’s players.

You may be correct about Ickes not being in Obama’s group of red thugs, at least today, because of Ickes’ devotion to Hillary.
However, Ickes did put Soros together with SEIU’s Andrew Stern and other left-wing activists and he has worked closely with Soros to create several campaign fund raising operations structured to circumvent McCain-Feingold.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

That is a classic. Here's another favorite of mine from the 30s that is apropos today. It's about prosperity...

[Eagles6]

Wow! is right.

[dusttoyou]

And both had/have communist buffalo wives.

[KoRn]

Very ironic.

Just replace the names on the wagon with the big government politicians of today, and it fits perfectly.

[VRW Conspirator]

bump

[raccoonradio]

That was a saying back then, prosperity was “just around the corner”. It even found its way into a song that was in a cartoon short (prob by Warner Bros.) in theaters at the time; a hobo flea was singing (better times were) “just around the corner, just around the corner, just around the corner from me” and I think that saying was what it came from.

I think it was a saying of Hoover’s

Oh, here it is, only he’s singing “oh there’s food around the corner, food around the corner, food around the corner for me”

Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35

January 10, 1963

Current Communist Goals

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963

 

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:

[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
   
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
   
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
   
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
   
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
   
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
   
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
   
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
   
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
   
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
    
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
    
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
    
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
    
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
    
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
    
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
    
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
    
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
    
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
    
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
    
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
    
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
    
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
    
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
    
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
    
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
    
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
    
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
    
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
    
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
    
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
    
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
    
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
    
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
    
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
    
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
    
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
    
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
    
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
    
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
    
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
    
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
    
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
    
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
    
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

Check.

[Pan_Yan]

Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

Check.

[Seven plus One]

McCormick's Tribune had no love for communists, Trotskyites, trade unionists, New-Dealers, Roosevelt or his government. The left considered Col. McCormick to be a top hat wearing pain in the ass, as this Seuss cartoon from 1942 illustrates.

[Pan_Yan]

Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions

Check.

[23 Everest]

I hope everyone that clicks onto this post watches Glen Beck. He is giving us the history lesson we never got in government run skool. on purpose

I’ll stop now before I get depressed.

"Here’s an old FR thread with an even older booklet written in 1938. Called “The Revolution Was”, by Garret Garrett, a conservative writer back in the day. "

Yep! Here's a section that clearly explains the past year. A time-tested map for imposing marxist ideology on sheep:

The test came in the first one hundred days.

No matter how carefully a revolution may have been planned there is bound to be a crucial time. That comes when the actual seizure of power is taking place. In this case certain steps were necessary. They were difficult and daring steps. But more than that, they had to be taken in a certain sequence, with forethought and precision of timing. One out of place might have been fatal. What happened was that one followed another in exactly the right order, not one out of time or out of place.

Having passed this crisis, the New Deal went on from one problem to another, taking them in the proper order, according to revolutionary technic; and if the handling of one was inconsistent with the handling of another, even to the point of nullity, that was blunder in reverse. The effect was to keep people excited about one thing at a time, and divided, while steadily through all the uproar of outrage and confusion a certain end, held constantly in view, was pursued by main intention.

The end held constantly in view was power.

Truly an excellent, time-tested map for imposing a tyrannical Marxist ideology on peacefully grazing sheep that has been successfully followed explicitly for the past year....and followed implicitly for the past 5-6 decades since ruse_evelt.

This is one reason why, IMHO, there is no longer a possibility of restoring any semblance of freedom and liberty via the ballot box.

The ballot box solution would require immediate dissolution of the government school system and the permanent assignment of the political hacks who represent themselves as "teachers" to other careers...as appropriate...
Then there would have to be 3-4 generations of intellectual education instead of the political indoctrination of the past couple of generations that has had moronic serfs creating new moronic serfs...Sort of like the Borg?

Hmmm! Fat chance!

[reg45]

The fact that it ran in the Chicago Tribune is doubly ironic.

Not really. In those days - when Colonel Bob (Robert R. McCormick) was the publisher - The Chicago Tribune was a real newspaper.

[Star Traveler]

You probably haven't heard of this either, then... :-)

KGB/FSB's New Trojan Horse: Americans of Russian Descent

Review

Preobrazhensky's book can be called a work of an investigative journalist who has studied the development of a church takeover with his own eyes, and comments on it - all this emanating from his own work experience in the KGB. For those who lived under the the Soviet regime, it is difficult to doubt Mr. Preobrazhensky's deductions. In Post-Soviet times, the Kremlin cannot any longer count on those who in the past sympathized and helped the First State in World of Workers and Peasants. Now the Kremlin's hope is that the parishioners of R.O.C.O.R. could carry out the function of a fifth column, driven by nostalgic and religious feeling. And there are millions of them, all immigrants from Russia. --Novoe Russkoe Slovo, Russian Language Daily in New York

This book addresses one of the unforeseen developments of the consolidation within the Russian Orthodox Churches that can have significant counter-intelligence implications for the United States and the Western world. It is not incredible to contemplate how Russian intelligence can very cynically use even Russian Priests to implement its intelligence agenda. --Paul M. Joyal Director PSS at National Strategies, Inc. Former Director of Security for U.S. Senate Committee on Intelligence

This book is an extremely valuable contribution to the efforts of investigation of treasonous activities among the hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (R.O.C.O.R.) now attached to the Moscow patriarchate. --Eugene L. Magerovsky, Ph. D., Colonel., Strategic Intelligence, U.S. Army, Retired Professor of Russian History

Product Description

The shocking truth about Russia s spy network in the US and the brutal suppression of democracy in Russia. Former KGB Colonel Konstantin Preobrazhensky gives his informed perspective about Putin s real intentions in America, the looming danger posed by the infiltration of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad by the re KGB, and how Putin has already shut down freedom of speech and free enterprise in Russia s still-born democracy.
