America — Condemed
to Die?! (17 May 1987)
[Submitted as a "Readertorial" to the Holland
Sentinel]
First a few comments on the film Amerika.... For some viewers it was confusing, for some depressing, for some the events shown were impossible to happen, and some were not even interested enough the entire film.
The Conservative Caucus supported this film, probably thinking that it would confront the American people with what could happen in the near future if they remain passive and do not become involved. The United Nations and the Soviet Union opposed the film. (Can we oppose anything that is being shown in Russia?!) Their opposition succeeded in cutting this film by several hours!... I wonder why Russia opposed? After all, this film showed Communist occupation of America to be so moderate, compared to what it will be in reality!... According to the late Congressman Larry McDonald, about 30 million Americans will be liquidated immediately after the Russians start their occupation. From experience I know that McDonald was right in that assumption.
Another very interesting fact is that those well-known Americans Dean Rusk, Edmund Muskie, Alexander Haig, and Jeane Kirkpatrick signed a letter of opposition to this film. Why? Did they do that in the name of the organization of which they are members, namely the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which represents the idea of a one-world government?...
The film started with the clenched fist (the Communist symbol) on the background of the American flag, and it ended with the American flag hanging upside down. In between, it portrayed the "hero," a Vietnam veteran, who represented (God forgive) the freedom fighters of America, who all his life had a "split personality," and was undecided and always full of doubts.
The only outstanding figure in the entire film was the Russian colonel, who declared:
The Russian colonel told the bitter truth. For centuries, Russia admired the West and had minority complexes. Then, since 1917, the Russian people hated Communism and looked to the West for liberation. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union, not only individuals, not only platoons or regiments, but whole armies surrendered, greeting the Germans as their liberators from Communist oppression. As it is well-known, the Germans missed their chance through conceit, ignorance, and plain stupidity, and since that time the last hope of the Russian people for liberation from Communism was America. But... Mr. Roosevelt committed 130 million East Europeans into Communist slavery and laid the foundation for what happened in America since 1945 to this very date. For instance:
And today?... The "wolves in sheepskin," the so-called liberals in the U.S. Congress and Senate, refuse to give support to the Contras in Nicaragua, thus permitting Communism to encircle America from the South (which is according to Lenin's directive!)...
All the above events caused the Russian people to replace their admiration for America with contempt.... As the Russian colonel said: "You lost, and we also lost"!...
The film portrayed the future through rosy glasses. But what the majority of the American people does not know, or does not want to know, or does not want to admit, is that because of its passivity the oppressors are already in this country and are busily engaged in destroying the American pride, will, and interest. Other practically unknown facts are that America has already been divided into regions, and that certain forces are working from within for the "happy" ending of the Russian take-over....
On 12 February 1865, Abraham Lincoln said: "The people are the rightful masters of both Congresses and Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." And... over the past decades the people have been so misled and manipulated that today they either do not care or they do not realize that their lack of interest in the future of America will cause grave consequences not only for contemporaries, but for generations to come, and not only for this country, but for the whole world.
"In the name of God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." That is how the first pilgrims landed in America, in the search for peace and freedom from oppression and persecution. And that is how the first Thanksgiving was celebrated. And that is how the Constitution was written and signed as the supreme law of the country on "the 17th day of September, in the year of our Lord 1787." And America became a land of plenty, rich, powerful, and in many aspects respected as the leader of the world, because it championed freedom.
Then... the bloody revolution in Russia in 1917 started a new chapter in the history of the world. One of the first supporters of that revolution was an American, namely Mr. Harriman! Since that time, certain forces influenced the understanding, spirit, and character of the American people and preconditioned them for the future.
Then came Mr. Roosevelt. In 1940, Gerald L.K. Smith wrote: "The teachings of Karl Marx translated into practical policies have resulted in Communism in Russia and Socialism in Germany.... The disciples of Hitler and Stalin were alarmingly successful in planting their ideas into the minds of American citizens. It is my conviction that FDR, the President... has been influenced by a philosophy which represents a mixture of nazism and communism...."
The first efforts of FDR to plant some of his ideas in America were rejected by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional, but since that time the appointments of liberal judges to the Supreme Court changed that situation. They created new laws, using magic interpretation of the Constitution. Influenced by those new laws, the American people changed slowly but surely, and new symbols replaced the old: " In the name of the dollar, interests, and profits!" ... The values of the first pilgrims were replaced with a dance around the golden calf in the spirit of greediness, egoism, and... power. There ceased to be prayers in schools, evolution was taught, the level of education went down, the morality of the past took second place to the rights of "gays" and lesbians, and American patriotism was replaced with support of Communism with tax dollars!
Thus America got a new face! You can read about it in the brochure The CFR Conspiracy by Phoebe Courtney. Just by reading the subtitles of that brochure one gets a good description of the aims of the CFR: 1) Promotion of an anti-American One-World Government; 2) The Trilateral Commission; 3) Control of radio, TV, and press; 4) Supply of parts to the Soviet war machine to assure Soviet superiority; 5) Opposition to President Reagan's defensive "Star Wars" programme and support of disarmament, which means surrender; 6) Support the bail-out of the big banks with taxpayers' dollars; 7) Support the trillion-dollar foreign aid giveaway (to increase the living standard in Communist-controlled countries, and at the same time to decrease the living standard of the American people "to make all of them more equal").
Not surprisingly, the CFR is really successful. Why?... Look at the list of names of members of the CFR, which includes: Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, John Foster Dulles, Dean Rusk, Douglas Dillon, Hubert Humphrey, Paul H. Nitze, Henry A. Kissinger, George P. Shultz, Arthur F. Burns, Jimmy Carter, Walter F. Mondale, Cyrus R. Vance, W. Michael Blumenthal, Harold Brown, George [H.W.] Bush, Alexander Haig, Donald T. Regan, Caspar Weinberger, Paul A. Volcker, etc.
President Reagan does not belong to the CFR, but many of the people surrounding him do. It is more than likely that those people, with the gleeful support of the news media, are behind the attacks and criticism of President Reagan, which are geared to destroy him.
It is the responsibility of the American people whom they send to the U.S. Congress and Senate: Liberals who supplement the CFR plans to disarm and sell America, or good American patriots who represent the healthy desire of the American people to keep America free. Remember, the future of America and the world is in your hands, and depends on your conscience and understanding of what is going on and why!
