Americans
are inclined to believe that, with the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the
Cold War from 1945 to 1991 was over. In fact, that war of ideologies, communism
versus capitalism, began in the 1920s after the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir
Lenin, initiated a covert program to undermine America. Today we call it
“political correctness” and its impact on our society is sapping it of its true
history and values.
“Willing
Accomplices: How KGB Covert Intelligence Agents Created Political Correctness,
Obama’s Hate-America-First Political Platform, and Destroyed America” by Kent
Clizbe, a former CIA espionage officer, reveals how active and covert agents of
the KGB, the Soviet security and intelligence agency, has led inevitably to the
election of a President who hates America and is seeking to undermine it in
every way possible.
If that
sounds implausible, keep in mind that Obama is the first President to shake the
hand of Raul Castro, the brother and current president of Communist Cuba, at
the recent Mandela memorial. He is the same President who told Dimity Medvev,
the third president of the Russian Federation from 2008 to 2012, that he would
have more “flexibility” in his second term to carry out its ideological war on
America.
Clizbe’s
book deserves far more notice, but in a nation in which its mainstream print
and broadcast outlets are filled with Leftists, that is not going to happen. He
details and documents how the messengers of the attacks “denigrated American
patriotism, capitalism and individualism, and called into question American
foreign policy.” He calls those messengers Russia’s “willing accomplices.”
“By the
1980s, full-blown politically correctness (had) infected academia, education,
the media, Hollywood, and American society in general. Americans were
constantly bombarded with reminders of their hatefulness, bigotry, racism,
sexism, and imperialism. Confused by the message of hate and disgust, while
their daily lives were filled with positive energy, normal Americans became
wracked with guilt.”
“They were
reminded daily that they were guilty of slavery, bigotry, killing babies in
Vietnam, oppressing minorities and women around the globe, stealing the
continent from the Indians, being arrogant in dealing with foreigners, killing
the Earth with their hairspray, and various other sins.”
It took
the imposition of Obamacare to awaken many Americans to the danger of a
government intent on taking over one sixth of the nation’s economy, the
movement called the Tea Party, and it is awakening millions more to the threat
to their lives.
This is
why, during his first campaign, Obama accused Midwesteners of getting “bitter,
they cling to their guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like
them, or anti-immigrant sentiment…” This is why, during his first term, he
launched a major effort to attack the Second Amendment and why American
opposition to illegal aliens is characterized as wrong.
It
explains why the Obama administration bailout of General Motors which should
have been allowed to file for bankruptcy and reorganization has cost Americans
ten billion dollars. It explains why billions were wasted on “investments” in
solar and wind turbine manufacturers that went bankrupt shortly afterward, and
why some six trillion dollars was added to our national debt in Obama’s first
term.
It
explains why Obamacare, a full-fledged disaster, was passed by Democratic Party
votes by Senators who never read the bill. No Republican voted for this bill.
And hundreds of thousands of Americans will die because they can no longer
afford their medications, no longer have access to their personal physicians,
and can no longer gain admittance to hospitals.
Political
correctness has been advanced by a fundamental formula: Admit nothing. Deny
everything. Make counter-accusations.”
Little
wonder why conservative politicians and the Tea Party movement are constantly
attacked as bigoted and evil.
Political
correctness infuses all aspects of our culture today, but is most evident in
our school systems and our institutions of higher learning. Glizbe warns that
“Children exposed to this insidious self-hate are programed to hate themselves,
their ancestors and predecessors, their country’s founders and leaders, past
and present.” It explains why a massive effort was launched to ensure that
neither the salute to the American flag, the pledge of allegiance, and prayer
are no longer a part of the daily regime in our schools.
It is evident in Hollywood where one of its
famed purveyors, film director Oliver Stone said “Nationalism and patriotism
are the two most evil forces that I know of…” It explains why films like “Wall
Street” denigrate capitalism.
It
explains why so much of American culture, particularly what passes for
entertainment, has fallen victim to the massive covert effort that was launched
after the end of the Russian civil war to imposed communism. “The goal was to
destroy the core moral fabric of American society.”
It
explains why Christmas and the whole of Christianity is under attack in
America.
It will
take an equally massive effort by Americans, patriots, to fight against and
reverse the harm that has been done to our society and our governance--check
out the numbers and names of the Progressive Caucus in Congress—but it must be
done in the face of President Obama’s campaign to reduce the influence of
America on global affairs, to create class warfare against America’s
“millionaires and billionaires”, and the vast expansion of the “social
programs” that have millions of Americans on some form of government dole while
we struggle to overcome the longest recession since World War Two.
It is the
naked face of communism. Political correctness is political ignorance.
A vast
re-education of generations of Americans will be needed to reverse its effect
on our lives and the future of the nation.

It's been said before, but bears repeating: "To understand Obama, study Alger Hiss."
Alan, the sad fact is that our children, under educated in our deplorable excuse for schools and who voted for this man, will be greatly affected by the imposition of a socialist government. They in some respects deserve what they get, but their children will suffer even more through no fault of their own.
Sad, but we saw it coming years ago and did not get enough of our kind to stand up and be counted.

Excellent writing Alan, and so accurate. I'll add this book to my list.
Are you familiar with the Youtube interview with former KGB agent Yuri Bezimov?
I remember that the John Birch Society back in the 1960s was predicting that all of the events you describe, but hardly anyone listened. Such was/is the power of mass media.
@Bud. I have not seen the YouTube to which you refer.
@Bruce: A lot of folks saw what was occurring and warned against it, but political correctness attacked people like Joe McCarthy, the John Birchers, etc. Just like they attack conservatives today...particularly the Tea Party.
Read this on political correctness and a few other things.

Amen -- and -- AMEN!
PC has warped John Boehner so much that he now attacks the Tea Party and the conservatives in the GOP.
I'm afraid that you nailed this On my way! Right on the head. Our dear leader is leading us down the path of the dictators who we have seen before . Let's hope that he fails as they all did..
Boehner cannot control the Tea Party members in the House and it angers him. The RINOs, apparently, do not.
