Letter to President Reagan (27 May 1988)
Mr. President:
It seems like only yesterday that you called the USSR the "evil empire," and that you publicly read a letter from Mrs. B. Shreffler [a member of the diplomatic corps of the Polish Government in Exile at the time Gen. Hryniewicz-Bakierowski was its Foreign Minister — Editor] who, after her return from Russia, declared that she would rather perish in a nuclear holocaust than to live in Communist slavery! And now? After years of your courageous and healthy anti-Communist stand, you seem filled with euphoria, born from your desire to reduce our missiles because of "Glasnost and Perestroika" (which, of course, the USSR keeps within the untouchable limits set by the very spirit of Communism and its lust for world government).
Mr. President, one thousand years at Russian history (under the rules of Waregs, Romanovs, now Communists) is written with the blood of 100 million or more human beings! The only times Russia was on its knees, begging and promising, was after defeats! And various kinds of Glasnost and Perestroika have long been typical Russian methods for achieving certain goals. For instance: One czar wanted to show how civilized his country was and all men were ordered to shave off their beards. Punishment for disobedience was to cut off the beard together with the head! And look at the "accomplishments" of Peter the Great! And remember Mr. Potemkin, who set up a lifelike facade of a whole farm village, complete with people, livestock and vegetation, to impress the visiting czarina with the prosperous life of the Russian peasants! A different kind of Perestroika was introduced by Stalin during the last war when he revived the shoulder boards and military decorations of the old czarist generals.
Now the USSR is again on its knees (economically). Therefore, it pretends Perestroika again because they need our agricultural and industrial products (guaranteed by our tax dollars) to fulfill their future plans. In reality, one should call this Peredishka, meaning to catch one's breath (before sprinting again for world government)!
Your INF treaty which, objectively speaking, seems to look good for the USA, was concluded against the fierce opposition of certain Senators who worry about the long-range future of America. Unfortunately, they lost, you won! Tell me, Mr. President, if one day the six or more million strong Russian conventional army, superior in every respect, will move towards the West, who will stop it??? Please check into this with your generals in the Pentagon!!!
During the Russian revolution efforts were made (Kerensky) to build a more liberal democratic state, but the West had a different idea. Big banks and American capital gave all possible help to further Communism. "Comrade" Hammer is surely a hero of the Soviet Union in this respect, and so is the CFR, the Trilaterals, and certain others....
Mr. President, instead of implementing the pro-Communist policies to the detriment of America, why do you not implement a pro-American policy, starting with an embargo of grain and technology?!
I am almost sure that your forthcoming visit to Russia will result in a communique advising that the discussions were open, productive and promising. Actual achievements? O yes, cosmetic and practically the size of the infamous "no-see-um" (when compared to the real problems), and half of Europe is still enslaved!!! And you intend to build America's freedom on their dead bodies??? Mr. President, is America today really as free as it used to be? No, Sir, not as long as America does not resume her fight for American interests (including survival), but continues to live according to the policy of the CFR, under which even American elementary school children are taught that Communism is good! Remember the warning given by Lithuanian Freedom Fighters in 1948 to the West:
What you are — we have been,
What we are — you may become!
Mr. President, I warn you. Get out of your euphoric dreamland. The future of America and the entire world is at stake!
Yours very truly,
Waclaw Bakierowski.
