Setting the Record Straight

Way back in 1951 I became aware a small group of people, women mostly, and mostly mothers, were protesting the use of Communist authored textbooks in the schools of Los Angeles. I knew I should be joining them even though speaking before people was anathema to me and had been since First Grade! I also knew I didn't know a Communist from a Democrat, but the record of Soviet Russia under Communism seemed pretty bad to any straight thinking person, so when I was invited to join a group of women to study the books, I accepted. How it all came about is another story and doesn't matter any longer, but the "class" was taught by Florence Fowler Lyons.

Florence was educated to be a teacher but took up writing for radio. TV was new but it was there I first saw and heard her as a guest on a Sunday night program. The things she said about the inroads of Communist authored textbooks in the U.S. public school system were so shocking I wanted to learn more, so, of course, I went to her class. If you read a known Communist newspaper and learn what they advocate and then you see the same thing being promoted in the local "non-communist" press/magazines you begin to wonder what's going on? It is a real education and painful to think you might have unknowingly absorbed positions from enemies of state and nation!

So it wasn't long before I made my first appearance before the LA School Board to protest a book used in the 4th grade which in essence promoted things which had hitherto been unacceptable, i.e., homosexuality for example, as just one issue. All done in a very appealing folksy style and more than half a century ago, but the enemy is relentless in its pursuit of its goals, which particularly included the destruction of Victorian morals and mores! In that they can claim quite a bit of success!

That all took place under the banner of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization about which I also began to learn more than I ever wanted to know! But once you learned UNESCO's language, you could recognize it in other matters.

So when Khruschchev boasted to Ezra Taft Benson his grandchildren would grow up in a socialist America the Soviet bully knew what he was talking about, because he knew the mechanism for creating it was already in place and had been ever since the founding in 1945 of the U.N. and its subsidiaries such as the UNESCO, which Truman signed into law in 1946. Created through a web of Communist agents buried deep in the State Department, more than we ever knew, although Alger Hiss was soon to be uncovered. He was, however, the one quite visible while the others were still buried and their descendants appear to be still functioning!

A new publication, Spies, the Rise and Fall of the KGB in America, (Amazon books) is a plodder, but even now knowing as much as I do, I find it shocking. The State Department was crawling with Soviet agents, on the U.S. payroll but whose work and loyalty belonged to the Soviets. That is why "they" were creating policies which would bear fruit long after they were gone, i.e., the UN Charter follows in the footsteps of the Soviet Constitution, as do any number of other documents which have followed one upon another from that miserable money-sucking agency! or any of its multiple sub-agencies, NGO's as they are known (non-governmental organizations)

The name of Christ was banished, never to be mentioned aloud in U.N. halls because it would offend Stalin! It was 1956 when some unknown in State notified Superintendents of schools to do away with Christmas and replace it with folksy events. The exact words were: "It is suggested that it might be well to begin to re-plan this program in this direction so that the change-over is so gradual as to be unnoticeable to the general public over a period of years. /s/ signed R. S. Pollack, Superintendent. Just so, were prayers acknowledging Jesus, a tradition since the Pilgrims hit the beach at Plymouth Rock, are now out of the question, a situation promoted by people who wear two hats!

Patriotic American music hitherto a staple for American students, had already in 1948 bit the dust as called to our attention by Senator Nelson Dilworth of the California Senate, -- you know, America, The Beautiful, and such like. Not to mention the sayings of the brave, i.e., "Don't fire till you see the whites of their eyes," or even "Don't give up the ship!" Gone and forgotten.

And, of course, Communists abound in the U.N., having diplomatic status from every Communist country in the world, but having Open Sesame to the streets of the "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave." The evasion of New York City traffic regulations is notorious as UN people trundle up millions in parking fines, uncollectable except from private citizens.

Most of the countries belonging to the U.N. are recipients of multimillion hand-outs from the U.S. and have been ever since WWII, more than half a century, but still they vote against the hand that feeds them on the average of 75% of the time. A tally on this, country by country, has been circulating on email recently -- and high time it is too! Gratifying, however, to know there are still people who care even if they are taxpayers at the bottom of the totem pole! Never in all history have the people of any nation paid so willingly to participate in the demise of their own country! It is all done through slogans, about which more anon.

Of course, the Tea Party re-enactments of the Boston Tea Party protest against taxation without representation, are now against taxation with representation which promises to make serfs of us all -- a throw back to just as it used to be, with a large body of workers bowing down to the Lords and Ladies of the Government. Amazing, isn't it? How history is repeating itself.
