I got out of school before the Communists took control. I have a lot of young friends and they are clueless. They really believe the PC BS.

Wow. Spot on.

Second to the last paragraph starts:
“The next stage is destabilization...”

That would seem to be where Obama comes in. Describes what he’s doing exactly.

You really ought to check out these tapes by Bezmenov and pass them along to the clueless. The excellent talkshow guy, Jim Quinn (warroom.com), has been reading his words on the radio over the past days.

The guy's (Bezmenov) speeches are penetrating and totally right-on.

We were taught Capitalism ‘let the buyer beware’. They do not do that anymore. I have a complete different point of view than the young folks.

Well I can say when it comes to people who were “sitting on the fence” I’ve turned a lot of those people to the right. When it comes to someone completely drenched in leftism: I don’t think I’ve turned a single one of them.

Thanks for posting this. I was thinking about this guy the other day (I’ve seen some of his other interviews). And for the life of me, I couldn’t remember his name.

FWIW, while I’m an agnostic on Glenn Beck, his TV show on Thursday was outstanding, as his audience was legal immigrants only. In the 2nd half of the show, his guests who hailed from former Communist/Socialist nations described how many Americans are not able to see what is going on here. And how it mirrors what they left behind in their home countries!

This explains a lot, like, “How did Obama get elected President?”.

Did Communism Fake Its Own Death in 1991?
American Thinker ^ | January 16, 2010 | Jason McNew

In a bizarre 1984 book [New Lies for Old], ex-KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn predicted the liberalization of the Soviet Bloc and claimed that it would be a strategic deception. ..."

"Golitsyn's argument was that beginning in about 1960, the Soviet Union embarked on a strategy of massive long-range strategic deception which would span several decades and result in the destruction of Western capitalism and the erection of a communist world government."

"Golitsyn published his second book, The Perestroika Deception, after the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. This book contained further analysis of the liberalization, in addition to previously classified memoranda submitted by Golitsyn to the CIA. The two books must be read together to get a complete picture of Golitsyn's thesis."

[former US Treasury secretary Hank] Paulson claims Russia tried to foment Fannie-Freddie crisis

Financial Times ^ | Published: January 29 2010 21:06 | By Krishna Guha in Washington

Russia proposed to China that the two nations should sell Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bonds in 2008 to force the US government to bail out the giant mortgage-finance companies, former US Treasury secretary Hank Paulson has claimed.

The allegation is in his memoir On the Brink in which he also suggests that Alistair Darling, the UK chancellor, blocked a rescue takeover of Lehman Brothers by Barclays Bank when he refused to support special treatment by UK regulators.

“Russian officials had made a top-level approach to the Chinese, suggesting that together they might sell big chunks of their GSE holdings to force the US to use its emergency authorities to prop up these companies,” he said.

Fannie and Freddie are known as GSEs or government sponsored enterprises.

“The Chinese had declined to go along with the disruptive scheme, but the report was deeply troubling,” he said. A senior Russian official told the Financial Times that he could not comment on the allegation.

Separately, Mr Paulson makes it clear that he believes that Mr Darling prevented a takeover of Lehman by Barclays out of fear that it would endanger the UK bank.

Mr Paulson said that Mr Darling telephoned him on Friday September 12 – as the US authorities were scrambling to find a buyer for Lehman – to express concern about a possible Barclays deal. Mr Paulson said that he did not realise at the time that this was a “clear warning”.

BUMP & KEEP BUMPING

[riri]

I saw this video for the first time last spring. Every hair stood up on the back of my neck and instantly everything became clear to me, what was happening. Instinctively I knew something was very wrong but I didn’t understand the big picture. Now I do.

[vanilla swirl]

exactly where we are now. I think Obama is disappointed it’s taking too long to bring us to our knees.
Beware the next few months.
I fully expect something to happen to subvert the elections.
We are ripe for the picking now.

[ICAB9USA]

I hear you. The “fence folks” are still salvagable.

Yes.
