Treason in State

The furore over the so-called health care bill is probably going to be forgotten by the time a Supreme Court replacement comes up for acceptance. The departure of the most "liberal" member seems imminent and since liberals are so quick to quote Jefferson's remarks about "separation of church and state," which I think must be the only sentence of his "they" know, I thought to throw into the hopper something Jefferson said about the Court:

"It has long been my opinion, and I have never shrunk from its expression..that the germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal judiciary: an irresponsible body--for impeachment is scarcely a scarecrow--working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States, and the government of all be consolidated into one.

"To this I am opposed; because, when all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things shall be drawn in Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government or another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."

I have never been a fan of Jefferson and I can't say I found that gem in his works but it was quoted many years ago by Rosalie Gordon in writing about Nine Men Against America. So I am not original when I point out the court has been all downhill since at least the appointment of Earl Warren as a payoff for delivery of the California vote at the Republican Convention to Eisenhower in 1952. Warren had no previous judicial experience - although he was neither the first nor the last appointment to that group who had no previous judicial experience. However, what concerns me is that I see the completion more everyday of a prediction made sometime in the '30's-'40's to a Vermont housewife. There was a cadre of known Communists in her home town who talked openly to her, about their future plans.

I don't know the exact date, but in 1955 her husband inserted a statement into a brief he prepared for presentation to the 2nd District Court which is where I found it: "as the Communist plan for invisible revolution.. explained to her that the Communist revolution in America would not be accomplished by violence and fighting in the streets, directed by Red Russian Storm Troopers, but would be achieved gradually by schooling the most intelligent and aggressive young people in their philosophy and then pulling strings to get them placed in strategic positions in government--Administrators, Judges, Advisers to Cabinet Members and Legislative Committees. This was to be a change of pace revolution; the Constitution was not to be declared null and void or even to be replaced, but was to be kept more or less as it is, to make the people think nothing had changed. The word Communist was never to be used; just Liberal and Progressive. A terrific plan!"..... Isn't that what we are now looking at?

A few weeks ago I purchased from Amazon a book called Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America. Its contents sicken me especially when I lived through much of the era in which these people operated and recall how vilified anti-Communists were (and I among them on a smaller scale--I might tell you about it later). As just one example, and there are too many to count, not to mention the authors say there were at least an additional 175 unidentified individuals involved with espionage in our government besides those named in the book!

One of the revolting ones was in the State Department (among many who were secret and not-so-secret Communists in State) but this one wasn't even a Communist! He did it for money! (No doubt he held prostitutes in contempt who "do it for money! Which raises the question, which is worse, selling your body or your country?) This guy was chief of the Bureau of Indexes and Archives, which became the Div. of Communications and Records, the largest single office in the Department. He was there, if you can believe it, from 1916 to 1948 when he retired and he was on the Soviet payroll most of the time! This department receives,"decodes and transmits messages," and was described by the Washington Post as the "nerve center" of the Department. The authors quote this DC paper to the effect this is "the nerve center of the Department," and during the "Munich crisis, 45,000 to 50,000 words and code symbols were handled daily..to say nothing of the transocean and domestic telephone calls."

How about that? No wonder Ambassador William Bullitt complained that Soviet officials appeared to have knowledge of his secret reports! The mole who passed on reports, correspondence, cabinet resolutions, war intelligence, and correspondence from not only Europe but the Far East as well was called Willy.

According to the book's authors, Willy was asked /= after/= retirement to verify documents Alger Hiss gave to Whittaker Chambers--imagine the pot calling the kettle black!

Our enemies have been very busy while we were sleeping. As the fellow who called attention to the Randolph Center group had earlier written in his 1955 petition to the 2nd District Court, he and his wife were dedicated to the "preservation of the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America by exposing the Communists seeking to destroy it from within." They've been pretty successful at that. Is it too late?
