“And we can’t underestimate the influence of liberal, Marxist academia on college campuses”

Bloom’s “The Closing of the American Mind” is a good source on that. Actually, the media were corrupt long before academia collapsed.

“the watering down of theology in our churches, and the liberalization of the Catholic Church via Vatican II council.”

And the KGB’s infiltration of the seminaries.

If everyone remembers there was quite a ruckus on this site when McMasters fired a number of well known in influential analysts and advisors noted for strong opposition to Islamic Jihadist factions.

At the time I said that the real quandary in this was that here you have McMasters coming into his own as NSC head, with a reputation founded on his ‘97 book and combat leadership, and as head of the NSC he is pushing out certain voices that champion resistance to islamic jihad.

In “Dereliction...” he points how how Johnson, confused by his limited objective of socialistic domestic policy, is hampered by not getting the full and varied insight of all the JCS.

I asked, doesn’t it appear he is doing to Trump what Maxwell did in his book where he limited the JSC access to allow McNamara to be the sole director of military policy?

“KGB?! American seminaries? Really? I did not know...”

There was no Internet back then, so if Red Walter didn’t tell us, we didn’t find out.

If you did find out something like that, it was classified, and if you went ahead and told somebody, they just looked at you like you were crazy.

Even after all this came out when the USSR fell, people still continue to deny.
