Okay, I'll take it all back! Well, not quite all of it but some of it. Yesterday, Peter Marshall who wrote The Light and the Glory about our early beginnings guested on the 700 Club as it was the 400th anniversary of the landing in Virginia, 1607. April 29th that is. Anyway, he pointed out they did not settle there as dissenters, but came there claiming the land in the name of Jesus Christ. This was, of course, in the time of King James who authorized the King James Bible in 1611, so they were not dissenters as those who came a decade or so later, settling in New England.
What the VA settlers did was erect a cross on the beach and have a prayer service, and believe it or not, dedicated the land to Jesus Christ! Imagine that!!! We are scarcely allowed to mention that Name above all Names out loud and it isn't getting better, it promises to get worse as the enemies of state and nation are busily at work like termites to bring down the structure of our society, based on the God they hate!
Yesterday also carried the news the Supreme Court, if you can believe it, decided California VFW could keep their cross which is on the scorching sand, gila monsters, rattlesnakes and the like, on the Mohave Desert in California. That made me pause for reflection and I spent a miserable hour on the web seeking out pictures of our military cemeteries, i.e., My late husband a 6-year veteran of the AF in the unpleasantness of WWII is buried in Riverside, where there are no crosses on the graves. If you see pictures on remembrance days of rows of crosses, they almost always are overseas in France or even Belgium. Not in the United States. I have long pointed this out, but almost no one notices my whining!
I started whining a long time ago because I clearly recall Eisenhower's first appointment was Anna Rosenberg to the DOD in 1952-53, and her first order was to have all crosses removed from American national cemeteries. The flap that ensued was deflected from the crosses to the fact that she was said to be a Communist, and there was so much conversation in the press and elsewhere (there wasn't much on that new medium of communication, TV, as today), hinging on whether the woman was a Communist that what she ordered seemed somehow to be overlooked in the fuss. Maybe that was the payoff, look at her and not at what she did. I don't remember much else about her except that old ruse of saying there were two Anna Rosenbergs, when there patently was not, served as a distraction from the real issue of removing the symbols of Christianity from our veterans graves!
Anyway, I passed a large portion of yesterday looking up some of the 131 national cemeteries in the 39 states, and found one small cross and could not identify the grave site, nor could I tell you today where it was, because I was getting cross-eyed by then. Anyone who has time and energy to spare can look for themselves: Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemeteries. I especially wrote the late Dr. Kennedy annually when speaking of Gettysburg and Valley Forge, as I never saw any crosses there either. There are crosses in "Flanders Fields, where poppies grow, between the crosses, row on row." That was penned by a Canadian surgeon in WWI who was killed not long after. It was such a poignant piece it soon crept into American schoolrooms, although I doubt it is heard there any longer--nor are the other long time favorites, i.e., Don't give up the ship; don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes; or the strains of America, the beautiful; Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean, and many more patriotic old favorites. Those remembrances of our earliest heroes disappeared at least by 1946 with our entry into UNESCO under the aegis of Alger Hiss and his buddy, Dean Acheson. We'll have more to say about them another day.

Christian Nation
Recently I've heard the present White House incumbent announced to the world this is not a Christian nation, but the largest Muslim nation in the world. It is only hearsay to me. I can't really believe he said that because, of course, it isn't true --as almost any American can tell you -- although it might be wishful thinking on his part. After all, when he and his wife, Michelle, went to France, she returned to the States and he went to Saudi Arabia and Turkey alone. An email recently received tells the story of two male Arabs who when asked why she didn't make the trip, replied, "Obama is a Muslim and by Muslim law he would not be allowed to bring his wife into countries that accept Sharia Law." Further, they said, "that's the reason he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. It was a signal to the Muslim world!" I understand a Fox news journalist, Shepherd Smith, speculated the reason for the trials of the 911 murdering Muslim terrorists in civilian court instead of the military tribunal, is that Obama's obligation as President would be to sign the death warrants if they were sentenced to death by the military, which as a Muslim, he could not do.
My library contains several histories of the founding of this nation, and all of them, writing of the New Englanders, demonstrate from the time of the Mayflower Compact this was a Christian nation. Probably it can't be said of the Spanish conquerors west and south but our government charters originated with the Englanders, not the Spanish, although they did bring priests who established missions up and down the west coast and in what is now Central and South America.
There is no denying they were carried away with their desires for gold, as opposed to the desire of the Pilgrims for freedom from the Anglican Church established under Henry VIII. That Old Boy was unable to get a divorce from the Pope, so he dethroned him and started his own church, but it, too, was just as dictatorial as the Catholic Church. Which is how the dissenters ended up leaving England and heading for new lands. Long story most older people know, but who knows what kids are hearing in schools these days, especially since the innovations of UNESCO which took over the schools in 1946, a fact still almost unknown to most Americans.
Anyway, a friend of mine wrote the Librarian of the Supreme Court in 1975, asking for decisions from that body about Christianity, and Edward Hudon, Librarian, wrote back citing cases of decisions by the Court: Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 143 U.S. 457 at 471 (1892); Zorach v. Clauson, 343 U.S. 307 at 313 (1952); McGowan v. Maryland, 366 U.S. 420 at 561(1961).
Of course, Justice Joseph Story, one of the first judges to write Commentaries on the Constitution, published in 1833, declared the object of the First Amendment was "not to countenance, much less advance, Mohammedanism or Judaism or Infidelity by prostituting Christianity, but to exclude all rivalry between Christian sects."
Story who was a Justice on the Supreme Court for 34 years, further said no one should consider it "unreasonable or unjust to foster and encourage the Christian religion generally as a matter of sound policy, as well as of revealed truth. In fact, every American colony, from its foundation down to the Revolution, with the exception of Rhode Island, if indeed that State be an exception, did openly by the whole course of its laws and institutions, support and sustain in some form the Christian religion....Indeed in a republic there would seem to be a peculiar propriety in viewing the Christian religion as the great basis on which it must rest for its support and permanence. If it be what it has been deemed by its truest friends to be, the religion of liberty.....An attempt to level all religions and to make it a matter of State policy to hold all in utter indifference would have created universal disapprobation, if not universal indignation." (Note: That long ago the reference was to a republic, not a democracy. the previous president, Bush, used to infuriate me as he always talked about the democracy!)
The growing animosity to the expression of Christian fundamentals in American society today dates back to 1946 with the establishment of the U.N.'s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) done on Alger Hiss's watch in which Julian Huxley laid out the program for school children which did not include any expression of belief in a supernatural deity! He said so in writing out his "programme." He was, of course, grandson to Thomas Huxley, known in his day as Darwin's bulldog! (for more information, see my book, In the Presence of Our Enemies, beginning on page 192) Adrian Desmond, British history, in 1944 described Thomas "from Devil's Disciple to Evolution's High Priest."
This philosophy was adopted by John Dewey who was the principal author of the "Humanist Manifesto" in 1933, and who fought for control of the system of education known as "progressive" which pretty much controls education today. You know, you have heard about it, children learn by doing, and let's face it, that's what is back of the sex education program in schools today -- children are given everything but the experience, and that they get for themselves! No wonder our society is falling apart!

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.

Social and economic chaos ahead?
Among my e-mails this morning was a real heart catcher. It was from a financial expert whose view of the future was pretty dismal. He sees the total collapse of the dollar under the present regime with its activities. The trouble is, I have to agree with him!
That's why when just over two years ago I was faced with a surgical procedure the surgeon called me in to discuss, telling me I had a less than 50% chance to survive. It was early February so I asked if we could put it off until the day after election. He was puzzled and wanted to know why, so I told him, I did not want to be here if Obama won the election. The surgeon was shocked, but that's the way I felt.
I am not sure if I should say fortunately, obviously, I survived the surgery, but am doubtful about surviving the present grab for power unlike anything in American history. It is the result of about 65 years of sneaking, creeping brainwashing of the heretofore stalwart American starting in kindergarten, because as one "doctor" said in 1985: "Every child in American entering school at the age of 5 is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity..It's up to you teachers to make all of these sick children well by creating the international children of the future." (He was talking to Childhood Education International)
Yet, amazingly, there are still those with courage and we still have some freedom over the airwaves, but the drive to close those avenues is going on and building up, just at the same drive to do away with traditional views of marriage -- and by the same people.
I am trying to wade through a relatively new book I may have mentioned before, Spies, The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America, by two of the Venona authors with records compiled by a Russian scholar who went through Soviet archives during the two or so years the files were open to journalists.
The history of Soviet penetration of American agencies is heartbreaking, but it isn't/wasn't just the espionage, industrial, nuclear and diplomatic, but these unknown Soviet agents held policy making positions, all the way to the White House.
One individual of whom we have never before heard, entered government service in 1916, retiring in 1948. Ultimately he became the head of the largest branch of the State Department, processing all communications, from diplomats with codes, etc. Early in the 1930's he began passing on everything to the Soviets! He wasn't even a Communist, he did it for money! Ironically, after he retired he was asked to pass on the authenticity of cables Whittaker Chambers said were those Alger Hiss gave him to transmit to the Soviets!
You know what? It just occurs to me people younger than 60 probably don't even know the names of Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers or what they did!!! Yet there are three names in the English language associated with the wickedness of treachery, deceit and betrayal: Judas Iscariot, Benedict Arnold and Alger Hiss! Judas betrayed Jesus, the Christ, saviour of mankind, for 30 pieces of silver. Benedict Arnold betrayed the cause of the Americans to the British for revenge as well as silver. Hiss betrayed the country of his birth, the United States, to the tyranny of the Soviet Union. Unlike many before him, he would never admit his infamy, because he knew he had condemned future posterity to the evils of the Soviet system through his creation of the United Nations and its propaganda arm, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which he knew, as did Khruschchev, would eventually turn all children passing through the American school system, into socialist nihilists! Just as Dr. Charles Hodge had predicted when first a government subsidized system of education was proposed in 1848: "Such a system will produce the greatest engine for the propagation of nihilism the world has ever seen." And so it is.

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?
"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!

Futility of McCain-Feingold
I was surfing the web recently but now don't recall my target, probably it was a 'conservative' spot. My attention was caught, however, by an ad for Progressive Insurance on the home page. How ironic, I laughed to myself. The TV station I look at most is awash with ads from Progressive, whose recurrent female actress was given a short-lived line not long ago, "Power to the people." That used to be a favorite slogan of the Marxists. Years ago if I wanted a copy of the Daily Worker or People's World, I would visit the Progressive Book Store to pick up the latest Communist publication. They may not be around any more. Haven't looked for years.
My wry amusement, however, was occasioned by the thought execs with this insurance company may be laughing all the way to the bank with funds from "conservative" applicants.
I say that because journalist/writer Byron York in 2005 published a book, The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. Then he was National Review White House correspondent, although he is now a columnist with the Washington Examiner. The referenced book contains some astonishing facts and figures, including the information that George Soros, billionaire who loathed George Bush and Peter Lewis, CEO of Progressive Insurance, each gave more than $20 million to defeat Bush. Lewis's contribution apparently came from his insurance company. Who knows where Soros earned his. While Soros apparently has attempted to unseat leaders in other countries, there didn't seem to be any record of either sharing their wealth with the poor, downtrodden masses.
It also appears the McCain-Feingold bill made it possible to create a number of new organizations all dedicated to getting rid of Bush, (Soros had decided in 2003 Bush had to go) to which it apparently was legal to contribute huge sums of money, which York tallied at $200 million! York mentioned a figure of $23 million from Soros and Lewis. Soros seemed to have made his money while Clinton was in office. His bio appears on Wikipedia, for those interested (self-written, of course). I have read his bio by other people, the first one years ago which made me shudder, as I thought it boded no good for the Republic and that his face reflected the ugliness of his heart. (And it wasn't because George Bush was any favorite of mine!)
York tells a very interesting story of a "lost" document, found in a park across the street from the White House, which was a "cutting-edge political strategy" prepared by Karl Rove which the Democrats put into action, giving their political activities an immense jump up. There appears to have been no explanation forthcoming on how it came to their possession, but it seems to have given the Democratic Party a new life.
Under the McCain bill, they also created a bunch of new organizations, all using bright, patriotic names, all able to take in and expend huge sums, such as America Coming Together, otherwise referred to as ACT. York's book is something Republican leadership should be reading if they want to win the House in the next election.

Removing Christ from Public Life
April 7, 2010
Yesterday Jay Sekulow of the ACLJ interviewed Rep. Walter B. Jones, (R), NC about a bill waiting passage in the House, H.R. 268, to give military Chaplains the right to pray as they see fit. They have been denied the right to pray in the name of Jesus Christ for quite some time. No one was able to put a finger on the precise origin of this strange anomaly.
Scholars familiar with the history of the our War for Independence, the American Revolution, as well as the lives of the country's Founders, should be shocked at this modern-day betrayal of our early history. This censorship by top brass has apparently been going on for many years!
I missed some of Cong. Jones' case histories, but to one who follows the downgrading of our society, it is no real surprise. Our nation has been on a slippery slope, all downhill, since at least the beginning of the 20th century which often reminds me of the parable Jesus gave his followers, recorded in Matthew, 13th chapter, in which He tells them of a landlord whose wheat fields were unknowingly sown with tares (poisonous weeds) to which the servants exclaim, "An enemy has done this while we slept!"
The disciples didn't understand. They asked Jesus to explain. In vs. 38, He tells them the wheat field is the world; the tares are the children of Satan, secretly planted among the people.
This seems to be the time of which He spoke. Most U.S. citizens not only don't know anything about their enemies, or even that they voted most of them into office who in turn appointed others of whom most of us know little or nothing. This was especially true in the State Department commencing with F.D. Roosevelt.
When you hear a news item such as "The State Department(or any other government agency) said this or that..." it isn't true---someone employed there said it, and you may never know anything about him/her, including his name. We are inclined to believe the story even if we don't know who said or did it. The referenced Department had an enormous congregation of Soviet agents creating and directing our policies, most of whom are still unknown to the average American, particularly Americans whose opinions are molded by the headlines and can't be bothered with the facts of the story.
This is germane to the subject of the removal of Christ from public life, because in 1956 R.S. Pollack, Superintendent of Schools in New Jersey, sent a bulletin dated December 6, 1956, addressed to all school principals in NJ, which advised the educators "the State Department...reported a growing feeling..with respect to the celebration of Christmas by special observances and exercises in the public school. While this is not yet a situation that could be characterized as a problem, it is one that is growing and which will require our attention....it may be wise to consider beginning at once how the Christmas Program to be offered in your school could be re-planned and to emphasize instead the folk-lore values....." (This was how Christ was removed from Christmas!) although we don't know the name of WHO in the State Department sent the letter!
"It is the opinion of your Superintendent that within the foreseeable future, say the next 3 to 10 years, it will be required by the courts that the specifically religious aspect of the celebration will be deleted from public school programs, and that it will become illegal to use some of the hymns and anthems....
"....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/ R.S. Pollack, Superintendent (emphasis added)
This shocking "suggestion" is reminiscent of an early emanation from the pro-communist member of the State Department, Owen Lattimore, with regard to the betrayal of Korea and China that we "give Korea a parting grant" of $150,000,000 and then "let South Korea fall but not to let it look as though we pushed it." (NY Compass, Jan 17, 1949) Journalist John T. Flynn chracterized the"betrayal of China and Korea the most immoral--perhaps the blackest--story in our history."
To which we can now add the betrayal of the civilization which Christianity built. In an article Lattimore wrote further elucidating his beliefs, he said:

"The historical message in short of which special mention is made in the introduction, ls extended to demonstrate the superiority of socialism as practiced in the Soviet Union with the deliberate purpose of arriving at a future communism over the capitalism of the rest of the world. The method, it must be conceded, is formidable. It is not vulgar propaganda, but scientific argument on a plane that commands full intellectual respect." (italics added, he was reviewing a 1938 Soviet publication, a Soviet World Atlas by the Moscow head of the Institute of Economics.) One may well ask whatever happened to the atheist and socialist society of the Soviets - and how would they have survived WWII without the vast limitless aid of the United States?
Not to mention all the other communist/socialist states still receiving foreign aid from us?

Pushing the United States into Servitude
Monday, April 5, 2010
Yesterday was the anniversary of my father's birth. He died in 1962, murmuring "Regeneration, regeneration!" He was concerned for the future of the United States. He said, "The sad part of it is, that the wrong people will be shooting the wrong people."
It is, after reading the comments on many blogs, something I can agree with.
UNESCO's teaching in the schools since 1946 has caught up with us. We have a nation of idiots and imbeciles, who will fall for anything. They are so used to the double-talk of the Left, that their mental faculties have steadily deteriorated ever since the introduction of UNESCO into the public schools.
I'm reminded of a directive from Stalin to the Communist Party, USA, published in 1933, in which its members were told to stimulate the cultivation of the ugly, futuristic, and aberrant, not to mention the practice of crude orientalism, modernism, and degenerative perversion. They were to advocate the state monopoly of ownership, set up the ideal of thinking internationally, so as to undermine national patriotism; weaken all government departments by corruption; create distrust and suspicion upon any and all occasions; amplify fact with fiction and create startling exposures; ridicule all patriotic effort; and undermine all preparation for defense.
Isn't this where we find ourselves today?
