James Mattis - Former Marine?

James Mattis [Former Marine]

In a highly appropriate open letter to James Mattis, 

John Dowd [a real Marine] chastises Mattis  
for his obeisance to the Left.

As we learned during our Military service, sometimes 

generals aren't worth the smoke they blow, and 
deserve to be reduced in grade to Private-E2.  

Mattis is more than a disappointment. 

It appears he has become a communist.

OPEN LETTER TO James Mattis 

[from John Dowd - a proud Marine]

Jim:

I slept on your statement and woke up appalled and upset. You lost me. Never dreamed you would let a bunch of hack politicians use your good name and reputation – earned with the blood and guts of young Marines.

You did what you said you would – engage in this discourse. Marines keep their word.

DC After MLK Riots 1968

The phony protesters near Lafayette park were not peaceful and are not real. They are terrorists using idle hate-filled students to burn and destroy. They were abusing and disrespecting the police when the police were preparing the area for the 1900 curfew. 

Jim, this is the new nihilism. 

Did you forget that President Bush used active duty Marines to quell the riots in LA? 

President Trump has countless cities and some snowflake governors and mayors wetting themselves in the use of force to protect innocent lives and property. 

The AG of Massachusetts thinks burning property is good protest. 

Three more policemen were stabbed and shot in NYC last night.

Think about it. 

Should he be upset about the obvious failure of leadership? 

Where are you Jim?

Marines go to the fight.

No one divided this country more than Obama. 

He abandoned our black brothers and sisters. 
He gave guns to the cartels. 
He  apologized for our precious sacrifice and generosity overseas. 

You remember, Obama fired you.

President Trump has done more to help our minority brothers and sisters in three years than anyone in the last fifty. 

Ask the black pastors. 
Ask the leaders of the black colleges and universities. 
He got them funded. 
Ask them about the prison reform which ended the draconian sentences imposed on young black men by the laws enacted by Biden and his hacks. 

You need to bone up on your homework and stop listening to Uncle Leon.

I understand, you had to stick to the assigned narrative which did not include three years of corrupt investigations and evidence to destroy the President, his office, and his lawful free election. 

Nancy has no tolerance for dissent in the ranks – including those with stars.

You said nothing of the ugly, hate filled, disgraceful comments of Pelosi, Schumer, Perez and other Democrat hacks defaming the President and his office. 

You said nothing of the unlawful sanctuary cities and the unlawful release of hoodlums. 

You said nothing of the resistance movement to paralyze our courts and our government operations. You said nothing of the obstruction and subversion of our immigration laws. 

You said nothing of MS-13 killers and the drug cartels who own huge sections of our major cities.

Jim, do you think that hateful rhetoric and those corrupt actions were inspiring and unifying? 

Do you think the DI's at Parris Island would find such behavior as unifying?

Maybe, your problem, is a lot deeper. 

Trump Ends Soleimani's Reign of Terror

Perhaps you ought to explain how and why you (and John Allen), as CG Central Command, did not engage and take out Iranian Major General Soleimani who roamed the Middle East and wreaked havoc and death of our American boys with his infamous IEDs?

Why did it take President Trump to have the instincts and balls to take him out 

(of course over the objection of the geniuses in the Pentagon)?

Looks like the Persian mullahs were a one horse sleigh and Trump nailed the horse . . . forever. 

It has been quiet ever since. 

Perhaps, your anger is borne of embarrassment for your own failure as the leader of Central Command. 

Did you applaud when the President recognized the central problem in the Middle East? 

Did you applaud the President when he wanted to save American lives by bringing them home in one piece?

VOTE: The Scariest Word

We've been on Sabbatical for an extended period 

and have been unable to publish in our normal manner.  

So, we continue to review relevant, published articles 

which mirror our thoughts.  This is another in this genre.

It's gratifying to see that one of our younger generation 

understands the threat of Socialism and Communism and 

is familiar with relevant history.

When you read through this article, 

you might recognize several players 

in the current political arena who 

promote the concept of the 

Democratic Majority Rule concept.  

Keep in mind the US was not formed 

as a Democracy [aka: communism] 

but rather, as a REPUBLIC!

Vote: The Scariest Word in Orwell’s 'Animal Farm'

---------

To the first-time reader, George Orwell’s 1945 fable Animal Farm might appear to be the story of a grand experiment that began as a veritable utopia before its betrayal by an authoritarian hijacker.

That’s certainly how many leftists, including one of my former professors, view the Russian Revolution on which Orwell’s animal revolution is based. It’s probable that even Orwell himself saw the Soviet Union in this way. In his memoir Homage to Catalonia, Orwell describes a revolutionary Barcelona in which private property had been violently seized, “almost every church had been gutted and its images burnt,” priests and business owners had been slaughtered, and “every wall was scrawled with the hammer and sickle.”

Orwell calls this Communist nightmare “a state of affairs worth fighting for.”

For Orwell, the Spanish Left transformed Barcelona into a noble “workers State” that fell from grace only when Stalin, who prioritized Russian national security over international Communist expansion, imposed his own self-serving agenda. In Animal Farm Orwell emphasizes the contrast between the days of peace and plenty the animals enjoyed under Snowball (Trotsky), and the sufferings they endured under Napoleon (Stalin).

In both Spain and Russia, it is Stalin who acts as Orwell’s villain, not Communism itself.

Yet hidden away in an early chapter of Animal Farm, before the reader has caught even a whiff of Napoleon’s totalitarian ambitions, a single word reveals the moral rot at the core of Communism. 

That word, and all the horrors it implies, slips out as Old Major (Marx/Lenin) introduces the animals to Communist ideology, and lays the foundation for the coming revolution.

That word is “vote”: ‘

Major said: 

All men are enemies. All animals are comrades,’ 

At this moment there was a tremendous uproar. 

While Major was speaking four large rats had crept out 

of their holes and were sitting on their hindquarters, 

listening to him.  The dogs had suddenly caught sight 

of them, and it was only by a swift dash for their holes 

that the rats saved their lives. 

Listen to Bernie

Major raised his trotter for silence.

‘Comrades,’ he said, ‘here is a point that must be settled. 

The wild creatures, such as rats and rabbits—are they our 

friends or our enemies? Let us put it to the vote. I propose 

this question to the meeting: Are rats comrades?’ 

 The vote was taken at once, and it was agreed by an 

overwhelming majority that rats were comrades.

Old Major begins by dividing all living beings into two categories: enemies and comrades, oppressors and oppressed, evil and good. Marxism depends on this division. Utopia, it promises, will arrive only when everyone in the “enemy” category is wiped out. Immediately, however, it becomes obvious to
Orwell’s four-footed revolutionaries that it is not self-evident who belongs in which category.

Are rats comrades to be defended, or vermin to be exterminated?
Or, in real-world terms, is the owner of a small family farm who employs a pair of field hands a proletarian ally or a bourgeois oppressor?

In his foreword to Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago, Jordan Peterson comments on the horrifying implications of this method of categorization: It is… necessary to pose the question:
‘Who, precisely, belonged to that hypothetical entity, “the bourgeoisie”?’

 It is not as if the boundaries of such a category are self-evident, there for the mere perceiving.

They must be drawn. But where, exactly? And, more importantly, by whom—or by what? These are life-and-death decisions, and the animals make them by simple majority vote. Enemies have no rights and can be killed without hesitation, and anyone can be arbitrarily designated an enemy at any time.

Such a system is a double-edged sword: many of the animals who voted to include the rats as comrades are later executed as enemies.

[The United States Constitution protects individual rights that no majority, 
no matter how large, can overrule.  Our elections are protected by the Electoral College, which prevents the "majority" from overruling the Minority States and rural vote.]

Under Communism individuals do not matter, the collective has unlimited power to destroy all who oppose it. The animals’ democratic system eventually gives way to Napoleon’s dictatorship, but the method of categorization is of secondary importance.

Stalin executed 50 million "Enemies of the State"

What matters is the existence of the power to designate and eliminate enemies at will, not who exercises that power. By wielding this power, Napoleon continues to rely on the ideology he inherited from Major and Snowball.

It is precisely because the animals believe in their own moral purity as the oppressed class that Napoleon is able to massacre his opponents and pacify the survivors with fear-mongering propaganda.



If the only thing standing in the way of utopia is the oppressor class, then the slaughter must continue until utopia arrives. If things aren’t perfect yet, it’s because enemies still lurk somewhere, and it becomes the responsibility of every good comrade to spy on his neighbors.

The “enemy” category can be extended as many times as is necessary.
The whole system is a dictator’s dream. Contrary to what Orwell would have liked to believe,
Stalin and Napoleon did not represent the corruption of Communist ideology, but rather its
inevitable result.

Orwell failed to see this truth because he did not understand what Solzhenitsyn learned so painfully in one of Stalin’s gulags:

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, 

and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. 

But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.

ED NOTE:
As the Democrats move toward consolidating for the November POTUS election, we can see their strategy, tactics, and end game.  
1) Promote Bernie as the radical, wild-eyed communist extremist to be eventually replaced by
2) Biden, an acceptable, doddering, befuddled "Moderate", 
3) who will promote Michelle as his VP, after which he will resign, making
4) Michelle, our first Transexual POTUS, who will reward. 
5) Crazy Lizzie Warren with the position of Secretary of State, while the only 
6) [faux] "Combat Vet, Mayor Pete, will be rewarded with the Secretary of Defense position, who will enforce Martial Law.

The End Objective will be to install a Totalitarian Government,
And behind the scenes, we'll see Soros orchestrating.  
There will still be elections, but the Electoral College will be abolished, and, as Stalin noted:
"It is enough we have elections; 
It is not who votes that counts,
It is who COUNTS the votes."

The Democrats have become the 
Communist Party of America.

Antifa - Communist Anarchy

This is a report on the history and objectives 

of Antifa which we felt  was important enough 

to republish for our global audience.

Notably, Obama filled his Administration 
with communists, terrorists, and anarchists, 
and attempted to overthrow the US Government
from within.  We are still on the road to recovery!

THE DEAD END OF COMMUNISM 

 Antifa Tied to Communist Revolutionary Groups, Shows Documentary 
 'America Under Siege: Antifa' exposes ties of far-left extremist group 

By: Joshua Philipp
The Epoch Times [September 30, 2017; Updated: June 4, 2018] 

A new documentary exposes the far-left extremist group Antifa and its ties to communist revolutionary groups in the United States. It shows that the group of masked, black-clad protesters known for using violence and intimidation to silence conservatives may have an agenda pushed from behind the scenes.

https://bit.ly/2hmLqBN

The 37-minute documentary, “America Under Siege: Antifa,” was released on September 25 by the Capital Research Center and Cohesion Films.

According to the film’s writer and conservative author Trevor Loudon, the mainstream media has largely framed Antifa as a group of kids burning off steam, but with a bit of research, “we knew that wasn’t the case.”



Antifa promotes a blend of anarchy and communism, and was formed in 1920s Germany as the violence and intimidation wing of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD).

In a previous report, The Epoch Times exposed its origins, noting that Antifa, then known as Antifaschistische Aktion (“Antifascist Action”), was created under the direct guidance of the Russian Soviet regime—a brutal dictatorship that, according to “The Black Book of Communism,” would eventually kill more than 20 million people.

Loudon said he and his fellow researchers sought to find out whether Antifa still maintained Communist Party links. They not only found this to be true, but also found that mainstream political ties have given a free pass to Antifa’s violence.


In the group’s recent violent clashes in Berkeley, Charlottesville, and Oakland, the local police present at the incidents were allegedly told to stand down.

-- In Charlottesville, the police even led right-wing protesters through the mob of Antifa protesters where violence then took place. “We found that Antifa violence was most prevalent in cities controlled by Democratic city councils, in which the police were under the control of the councils,” Loudon said.
-- In Berkeley, Antifa is affiliated with the far-left extremist group By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), and several senior Berkeley political figures—including Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin—are members of the BAMN Facebook group.

BAMN, Loudon notes, was an outgrowth of the Trotskyist Revolutionary Workers League. Antifa’s ties to communist and extremist groups vary depending on where it operates.

Antifa Propaganda

--  In Orlando, Antifa is very close to the
           Democratic Socialists of America.
--  The Texas branch of Antifa is tied to the
           local Red Guard, a Maoist organization.
--  Refuse Fascism, is a front for the
          Revolutionary Communist Party.

One of the main endorsers of Refuse Fascism, Loudon reports, is Bill Ayers, a former leader of the Weather Underground, a communist organization that carried out terrorist attacks in the United States in the 1970s. The organization had infamously planned to kill 25 million Americans if the communist revolution succeeded. “Antifa today is like a franchise,” Loudon said, adding that “in many instances” it also has close ties to the Democratic Party.

Antifa "Protester" Attacking Police Officer

Antifa has garnered some mainstream support since it claims to oppose fascism, and claims its violence is a means to suppress fascism.

Yet, as Loudon notes, in terms of its actions and its beliefs
 “Antifa is pretty much the most active fascist group in America right now.”





He compared Antifa with Adolf Hitler’s brownshirts, which likewise used violence to attack and intimidate enemies of Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) party.

Both sides, Loudon said,
“believe in shutting down free speech, believe in forcing others to accept their will.”
Both Antifa and the Nazi brownshirts, he added, are little more than “street gangs” promoting totalitarian systems.

Loudon noted that even historically, when the Nazis won in Germany, many former members of the communist KPD, which started Antifa, became members of Hitler’s brownshirts.
 “There was one internal report from the brownshirts that 55 percent of the brownshirt ranks were former German Communists,”
“They called them ‘beefsteak Nazis’—brown on the outside, red in the middle.”

Editorial Note:

We are reliving history now, as we watch Antifa thugs brutally role-play the nihilists, Bolsheviks,  and anarchists attack Conservatives in an effort to destroy the fabric of this country.


Notable anarchists included Leon Czolgosz who assassinated President McKinly in 1901, and Luigi Galleani's advocacy of "Propaganda of Deed", i.e., the use of violence to eliminate 'tyrants' and 'oppressors' and to overthrow existing government institutions; his rhetoric inspired the Wall Street bombing of 1920, killing 38 people.



As President Wilson noted to Congress in demanding the Espionage Act of 1917:

“There are citizens of the United States, born under other flags but welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the full freedom and opportunity of America, who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life; who have sought to bring the authority and good name of our Government into contempt, to destroy our industries wherever they thought it effective for their vindictive purposes to strike at them, and to debase our politics to the uses of foreign intrigue .

“I urge you to enact such laws at the earliest possible moment and feel that in doing so I am urging you to do nothing less than save the honor and self-respect of the nation. Such creatures of passion, disloyalty, and anarchy must be crushed out. They are not many, but they are infinitely malignant, and the hand of our power should close over them at once. 

"They have formed plots to destroy property, they have entered into conspiracies against the neutrality of the Government. They have sought to pry into every confidential transaction of the Government in order to serve interests alien to our own. 

"It is possible to deal with these things very effectually. I need not suggest the terms in which they may be dealt with.”

[SOUND FAMILIAR?]

Espionage Act of 1917 was reinforced with the 
Sedition Act of 1918

Patriot Act of 2001 purpose is to deter and punish terrorist acts in the US and across the Globe, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes.

Comrade de Blasio - Staging the Deep State's USSA

Comrade de Blasio
Staging the Deep State's USSA

As we do periodically, we publish a post from another author 

when it conveys a message better than we could.  

In this case, Michael Goodwin of the New York Post wrote an Opinion Piece 

in September 2017 which warned of the dangers of reelecting Mayor de Blasio, 

who declared his intention to transition New York City into a Communist state.  

Goodwin's argument went for naught as New Yorkers, embracing de Blasio's 

communist rhetoric, reelected him with a landslide victory - likely 

anticipating that they could seize private property.  We'll see.

If you'd like to refresh your memory on how a transition to Communism 

works, and to educate friends and family, we recommend the 1965 movie

Dr Zhivago which can stand as a documentary.

Dear fellow Democrats:

To judge from the polls and personal experience, many of you are somewhere between lukewarm and ice cold toward Mayor Bill de Blasio. You love that crime keeps falling and that murders are headed for a record low, but worry that the growing disorder on the streets smells like trouble is coming.

You have never seen so many vagrants, and so many of them looking deranged and dangerous. Why didn’t he tackle the problem in the beginning, instead of denying the obvious — that the numbers were exploding?

You also don’t like it that the subways are a mess, traffic is pretty much congested everywhere all the time and bicycle riders are treated as privileged characters even as they routinely flaunt safety laws.

You pay the nation’s highest taxes, but it’s never enough.
The cost of living here is out of control, despite what looks and feels like diminished public services.

Columbus Statue

Streets are filthy, roads are rutted, yet every time you turn around, City Hall is focused on race, gender and identity politics, as if that’s what working people care about most. 

Is the mayor really going to take down the Christopher Columbus statue in — of all places — Columbus Circle? What would they call it — de Blasio Circle? Al Sharpton Circle? Columbus statue may get an 'explanation' plaque! 

ED NOTE:

[de Blasio's proposal met with such a public outcry that he backed down from this fairly stupid proposal]

Lopez Rivera [Puerto Rican Terrorist]

Police are getting assassinated, jihadists threaten to destroy America — and City Hall honors a Puerto Rican terrorist.

[“It’s repulsive, I’m sick to my stomach,” said retired NYPD Detective Tony Senft, 70, who lost an eye while diffusing one of Rivera's bombs at a Manhattan courthouse in 1982."]




You care about public schools, but the mayor’s claim of great progress sounds fishy. 

de Blasio's Socialist School System

If graduation rates and test scores were so easy to fix, why didn’t it happen before? Are the numbers real, or are they faked to make the mayor look good?

And why did he relax discipline standards, when every parent knows that one troublemaker can ruin a class for 30 kids?

Then there’s the mayor’s relentless war against charter schools, especially those that have a proven record of success. It feels immoral to sacrifice the future of at-risk children for the benefit of a union that is bloated with donations and political connections, yet de Blasio never misses an opportunity to create frictions instead of solutions.

His reflexive dishonesty is a big, big problem.
The “city for sale” allegations ring true, and it’s not satisfying that just because the mayor skipped an indictment, he deserves a second term. So as election season approaches, starting with next week’s primary, you’re not sure what to do.

Then you read about de Blasio’s interview with New York magazine.
Your first thought is, it’s a miracle he didn’t break both arms patting himself on the back.

Anyone reading his comments without living here would conclude that the Great Helmsman has single-handedly turned Gotham into the Garden of Eden. Look at my record, he insisted, saying it deserved “parades out in the streets.” He boasted of “my policies and my leadership” and declared himself a great manager. Me, me, me, my, my, my. It was tacky — and not at all reflective of the New York you live in. Naturally, for anything wrong, it was “Don’t blame me.”

de Blasio's Communist Linkage 

He complained that a “tabloid culture” — The New York Post in particular — causes the “hateful, negative, divisive” public tone of politics, just before he denounced the rich, criticized Governor Andrew Cuomo and tore into President Trump as “profoundly racist.”

It got worse from there.
In comments to interviewer Chris Smith, the mayor dropped his re-election smiley face to reveal his inner dictator, one who would banish individual rights and constitutional safeguards — all in the name of fairness, as he defines it.
“Our legal system is structured to favor private property,” he said, insisting that “people would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be.”



For good measure, he added:
“If I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed. And there would be very stringent requirements around income levels and rents. That’s a world I’d love to see.”

You certainly wish government could move faster and get things done with common sense, but the idea that Bill de Blasio and his corrupt crew would have the power to determine how every slice of land is used is unAmerican.

Your house is no longer yours, it will belong to "the people"

You have a house — suppose he wants to demolish it.
Do you want him to have that power?
Then you realize, this is the progressive vision of government he’s always talking about, the idea that a select few should decide what is good for the rest of us and have the power to implement it.



["All are equal, but some are more equal than others" 
-- as George Orwell noted in Animal Farm]

It is profoundly anti-democratic, yet that’s the world he wants to see.
Is that what a second term holds?
Is he going to spring ideas like that after the election?
Beyond the arrogance, the mayor’s ignorance about American history and the Founders’ intent, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence’s guarantee of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” is appalling.

Your children know better! So what to do?
Here, my fellow Democrats, is a modest proposal.
Send him a message.
Vote “NO” in the primary by voting for someone else. Anyone else!.

Whatever you do, just make it clear to de Blasio that you don’t approve of his message.
He’ll probably win anyway, but, hopefully, by a narrow margin.

That would get his attention — and remind him of who’s the boss.
That alone would be a true public service for all New Yorkers.

ED Note:
[Mayor de Blasio was reelected to a second term with 66% of the votes on 6NOV2018.  
The "have-nots" presume they will be able to live in the homes of the evicted homeowners in NYC.  
Welcome to Communism, folks]

de Blasio's announcements:
"You saw some important changes in the last four years. But you ain't seen nothing yet!"

1) Prosecutors closed an investigation into his fund-raising practices, but filed no charges, while criticizing his ignoring election laws and the courtroom testimony of "pay-to-play" crook Jona Rechnitz, who claimed his 6-figure campaign donations gave him direct access to the Mayor.

2)  In November, 2018, de Blasio fired NYPD Deputy Police Chief Michael Osgood, and then fired Investigation Commissioner Mark Peters, both managing investigation of Sex Crimes and the Special Victims Division; Peters had issued a scathing report on administrative issues in the Administration for Children's Services.  [Could de Blasio be shutting down NYPD's investigations into Human Trafficking, tied to the Deep State?]

3) In 2016, there were five major investigations being conducted on de Blasio by 
Federal, State, and City entities.

More scandals to come?
Will New Yorkers ignore this march to Communism, turning the Big Apple into the Big Toilet?

For those of you who remember history, and Mayor Dinkins' near success in destroying New York City, keep in mind that his protege' was none other than Mr de Blasio.

DeVos under Attack

As She Attempts to return the Rule of Law To Our Education System
Prepare for the Leftist Media Attack on DeVos

We feel the following reprint of a New York Post article deserves wider distribution.

Hats off to both Betsy DeVos and to NYP journalist Rich Lowry.

Click here for original article
NY Post 31AUG2018 [comments.lowry@nationalreview.com]

A judicial process that doesn’t allow the accused to cross-examine his accuser or reliably see the evidence against him is a civil libertarian’s nightmare. It traduces every principle of fairness and is blatantly un-American.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos intends to remedy this abomination, but will be savaged by the Left for replacing just such a process with something more in keeping with our Constitutional legal norms.

The Education Department is preparing new rules that would roll back the monstrously unfair Obama-era requirements for how colleges handle sexual-assault and harassment allegations. It will be a significant advance for due process, which is almost as out of style on campus as free speech.




In one of its least defensible actions, the Obama Administration used its Office for Civil Rights to impose its preferred procedures for handling sexual-assault cases on all the universities in the country that receive federal funds; it did so via a 19-page “Dear Colleague” letter, in the name of Title IX, the provision in federal law prohibiting sexual discrimination in education.

Watch Closely as I Destroy the Constitution

The Obama process was terrible, blowing right past the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires public notice and comment before such rules go into effect.


And the substance was worse.


The letter reads as if it were written by inflamed activists who had no interest in balanced proceedings – and it was.



1) It required colleges to adopt a “preponderance of evidence” standard
rather than a “clear and convincing” standard.

2) It essentially forbade colleges from allowing the cross-examination of accusers.

3) It adopted a remarkably broad definition of sexual harassment to include “unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature.”

4) It also encouraged the use of a “single investigator-adjudicator system,”
i.e., a single person as investigator, judge and jury.

The Obama rules ignore central developments in 

Anglo-American justice that arose hundreds of years ago! 

 In their important book “The Campus Rape Frenzy” KC Johnson and Stuart Taylor Jr. describe how the rules often played out:

“Start with an alcohol-soaked set of facts that 

no state’s criminal law would consider sexual assault. 

Add an incomplete ‘investigation,’ unfair procedures, and a 

disciplinary panel uninterested in evidence of innocence. 

Stir in a “de facto” presumption of guilt based on misguided 

Obama Administration dictates, ideological zeal, and fear of bad publicity.” 

The result inevitably, has been horrific miscarriages of justice.

Everyone should want perpetrators of sexual assault to be punished — and in the criminal-justice system, not just by colleges — but elementary protections for the accused cannot be discarded in the process.

One reason the Obama rules were so lopsided is that they were crafted in an atmosphere of moral panic – assuming a spiraling epidemic of sexual assault on campus.



To the contrary, Taylor and Johnson note that sexual assaults of female college students
had dropped by more than 50% between 1997 and 2013,

-- and that young women in college are less likely to be assaulted than those who are not in college. 






The Obama rules have been battered in the courts, where due process is still taken seriously.

A US District Court judge wrote in a 2016 ruling against Brandeis University:

 “If a college student is to be marked for life as a sexual predator, 

it is reasonable to require that he be provided a fair opportunity t

o defend himself and an impartial arbiter to make that decision. 

Put simply, a fair determination of the facts requires a fair process, 

not tilted to favor a particular outcome, and a fair and neutral fact-finder, 

not predisposed to reach a particular conclusion.” 

This is the animating spirit behind the DeVos changes.

 They are still being formulated, but a New York Times report suggests that they will correct the worst excesses of the Obama rules and interject fairness into proceedings that were, shamefully, designed to lack it.

Editorial Note:

Disbarred and prosecuted for
Criminal Actions as District Attorney

We have watched such legal abominations during the Obama years destroy the lives of college students who have been given no recourse to senseless and groundless allegations, with no rationale other than the accuser had just broken up with a boyfriend and wanted to see him suffer; or, in the case of a hooker in Durham, NC, claiming that she was assaulted by an entire LaCrosse Team --  a case elevated to and prosecuted in a local court, with the District Attorney later disbarred for concealing exculpatory evidence, to include DNA samples plus testimony by the hooker's associates who stated the hooker bragged to them that she had lied about the entire event -- she had only been hired to dance at a team victory party!

Under the Obama Administration, the Rule of Law was replaced by Political Hysteria!
We presume that the Left will use every extreme tact

USSA - Almost!

The following is an interview by G. Edward Griffin, an ultra-Conservative

 and researcher of issues which have undermined the US.  His credibility 

has been questioned on a number of topics he has covered, and, 

oddly enough, in retrospect over recent decades and revelations 

by a number of very credible sources, Mr Griffin has been 

spot-on in his analyses in virtually every topic he's covered.

In this interview in 1984, he asks Yuri Bezmenov, a former 

KGB propagandist, to explain the Soviet methodology for 

subverting the US population and conversion to Communism.  

At the time of this interview, the Soviet Union was 

still strong and had not shown any indiction that it would 

collapse six years later, following President Reagan's 

encouragement of Soviet Premier Gorbachev to 

shut down the USSR war machine, and 

essentially defect to the West.

Little did he know then that The Establishment

would inflict a series of Presidents from

GHW Bush, to Clinton, to W, to Obama

on the US to complete the transformation

of the US to a Socialist/Communist society.

ED GRIFFIN: 

Well, you spoke before about "ideological subversion" and that's a phrase that I'm afraid some Americans don't understand. 

When the Soviets use the phrase "ideological subversion" what do they mean by it? 

YURI BEZMENOV: 

 Ideological subversion is the process which is legitimate and open. You can see it with your own eyes.... It has nothing to do with espionage.

Yuri Bezmenov - KGB

I know that intelligence gathering looks more romantic.... That's probably why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond types of films. 

But in reality the main emphasis of the KGB is NOT in the area of intelligence at all. According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such.

The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. 

What it basically means is: 

to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country. 

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages. 

The first one being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. 

In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism....

The result? 

The result you can see ... the people who graduated in the 1960's, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can't get through to them. They are contaminated. 

They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [e.g., Pavlov]. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.

In other words, for these people the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To rid society of these people you need another 15 or 20 years to educate a new generation of patriotically minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of United States society.

ED: And yet these people who have been programmed and as you say are in place and who are favorable to an opening with the Soviet concept - these are the very people who would be marked for extermination in this country?

YURI: Most of them, yes. Simply because the psychological shock when they will see in the future what the beautiful society of EQUALITY and social justice means in practice, obviously they will revolt. 

They will be very unhappy and frustrated people, and the Marxist-Leninist regime does not tolerate these people. Obviously they will join the ranks of dissenters; dissidents. Unlike the present United States, there will be no place for dissent in future Marxist-Leninist America. 

Now, you can get popular like Daniel Ellsburg and filthy rich like Jane Fonda for being a dissident and for criticizing your Pentagon. In the future these people will simply be squashed like cockroaches for criticizing the government. Nobody is going to pay them nothing for their beautiful and noble ideas of EQUALITY. 

This they don't understand and it will be the greatest shock for them, of course.

The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. 

Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. ...he will refuse to believe it.... That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.

The next stage is destabilization.... It only takes two to five years to destabilize a nation. 

This time what matters is essentials; economy, foreign relations, [and] defense systems. And you can see it quite clearly that in some... sensitive areas such as defense and [the] economy, the influence of Marxist-Leninist ideas in the United States is absolutely fantastic. 

I could never believe it 14 years ago when I landed in this part of the world that the process will go that fast.

Most of the American politicians, media, and educational system train another generation of people who think they are living at the peacetime. False!  The United States is in a state of war; undeclared, total war against the basic principles and foundations of this system. And the initiator of this war is not Comrade Andropov of course - it's the system. 

However, ridiculous it may sound, it is the world Communist system, or the world Communist conspiracy. Whether I scare some people or not, I don't give a hoot. If you're not scared by now, nothing can scare you.

ED: Okay, so what do we do? What is your recommendation to the American people?

YURI: Well, the immediate thing that comes to mind is, of course, there must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of REAL patriotism, number one. 

Number two, to explain to them the real danger of a socialist, communist, welfare state, Big Brother government.... The moment at least part of the United States population is convinced that the danger is real, they have to FORCE their government... to stop aiding Communism.

EDITORIAL NOTE:

We have added links to such terms as KGB and Soviet, Big Brother as well as the names of world leaders such as Reagan, Andropov, and Gorbachev simply because the majority of young people who read this attended our depleted education system and have no recollection or awareness of the historical significance of these key, historical figures.  

This may surprise you, but ask the average 40-something [or younger] Liberal about any of these references, and you'll likely get a blank stare in response.

References to George Orwell and his predictive novel: 1984, will receive the refrain that it is about President Trump -- who has succeeded in derailing the Obama Administration goal of implementing 1984,
